Speaking the language of love in the digital age
Allan & Barbara Pease speak the language of relationships. They live and breathe Personal Communication and have made it their life's work to teach others through their books, seminars and videos that life is Easy Peaseywhen you get along with others.
So it's not surprising to these two masters of communication that the digital age has done as much harm to interpersonal relationships as it has good.
"Recent studies have revealed something disturbing about our new, young screen-watching generation" says Allan. "Brain scans show they have less connections in their brains for identifying emotions in the face of others than their parents. This means they are less likely than their parents to know that someone is angry, sad, confident, depressed or interested in them."
This inability to read between the lines makes a first date (and often even getting to that point) a baffling and embarrassing situation for a lot of people.
"What we're finding interesting is we have a lot of young people who are very successful in their work life but belong to a new generation where everybody texts," says Barbara.
"They say, 'I'm really great at texting, but face-to-face – what do I do?'"
The answer, says Allan, is to re-train your brain to read the body language and facial cues of others, and to practice using eye contact effectively.
"We teach delegates at our VIP Weekends to practice reading expressions in front of a mirror. You might feel silly at first, but you'll soon see the benefits when you are talking to the opposite sex."
So what advice does the pair give to help digital devotees to learn the language of love?
The Top 5 Green-Light Signals
Extended eye contact– The longer we look at someone, the more interested we are in them. When the person's eyes dart from side to side, their brain is searching for escape routes, a sign they're planning their getaway.
The Head Toss and Hair Flick(Women)- The head is flicked back to toss the hair over the shoulders or away from the face. Even women with short hair will use this gesture. A subtler version may be a quick tuck of the hair.
Protruding Thumbs and Crotch Displays(Men)- A man will use Protruding Thumbs around women to whom he is attracted. Thumb-Displayers also often rock on the balls of their feet to give the impression of extra height. The Crotch-Displayer plants both feet firmly on the ground, making a clear statement that he has no intention of leaving. He may also turn his body towards her, point his foot at her and hold her gaze for longer than usual. When he's seated or leaning against a wall, he may spread his legs to display his crotch.
Touching and affectionate gestures –Touching the hand or elbow, or hugging goodbye for longer than necessary are signs that the other person is serious about you.
Body angling and Proximity– We angle our bodies towards people we're interested in. In particular, watch out for the angle of the hips and the direction of the feet. Proximity is another indication that things are going well. A potential partner will decrease the distance between you. If seated, they will lean forward across the table.
Getting the Approach Right
When it is time to approach someone, walk over without hesitation but with a measured pace similar to a march to demonstrate your confidence and enthusiasm about meeting them. Smile and, if a handshake is offered, keep your palm straight and return the pressure you receive. Introduce yourself and use the other person's name twice in the first 15 seconds. Never talk for more than 30 seconds at a time.
If you're on a date, try subtly mirroring your companion's seating position, body angle, gestures and speech patterns. Before long they'll start to feel that there's something about you they like and find you 'easy to be with'. This is because they see themselves reflected in you.
Learning and practicing these body language cues can make all the difference in the early moments of a relationship. "When we meet people for the first time, we quickly make judgments about their friendliness, dominance and potential as a sexual partner. In fact we form up to 90% of our opinion of their availability and suitability in under 4 minutes," says Allan.
With those odds, it's not surprising to see why attendees at the Pease's popular V.I.P Weekend retreats are reporting body language and face to face communication skills as their highest priority.
"There's no doubt that digital mediums make life easier in a lot of ways. But the question is, are our young people getting the balance right?" asks Allan.

Allan Pease researches and studies the psychology of selling, relationships and human communication. He teaches simple, field-tested skills and techniques that get results. His messages are delivered in a humorous way, which motivates people to want to use these ideas immediately.

Bolivian President Tests Positive For Coronavirus
Bolivian President Jeanine Áñez is pictured before donating blood at the presidential palace in La Paz last month amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Days after Brazil's president said he had contracted COVID-19, another South American leader, Bolivia's interim president, Jeanine Áñez, said she too had tested positive for the coronavirus.
"I feel good, I feel strong, I will continue to work virtually from my isolation," Áñez said in a video posted to her Twitter account.
Áñez assumed the presidency in Bolivia in November, following the resignation of longtime President Evo Morales, who was forced out of office amid widespread protests alleging of election fraud. Áñez is set to remain until elections, which are scheduled for September. She is among the candidates running to succeed Morales.
Three other Bolivian government ministers have also tested positive for the coronavirus in recent days, including Eidy Roca, the country's health minister.
The announcement from Áñez came on the same day that Venezuela's socialist party chief, Diosdado Cabello — considered the second-most powerful person in the country after President Nicolás Maduro — also announced that he had become ill with COVID-19.
Bolivia has confirmed nearly 43,000 infections and more than 1,500 deaths, according to data collated by Johns Hopkins University. Officially, Venezuela has fewer cases than much of the rest of the continent, but those numbers have been increasing.
Earlier this week, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro confirmed that he too had tested positive for the virus. Brazil ranks second only to the U.S. in the number of cases and deaths from the virus – with more than 1.7 million confirmed infections and nearly 68,000 deaths.

Haegue Yang listed one of top 100 global artists
Artist Haegue Yang poses at the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, Germany, in this 2018 photo. EPA-Yonhap
By Kim Rahn
Installation artist Yang Hae-gue, also stylized as Haegue Yang, is on the world's top 100 artist list this year as the only Korean, according to the Korea Art Authentication & Appraisal Research Center, Friday.
The list, known as Kunst Kompass, is drawn up and announced by German-language business magazine Capital every year. The magazine selects the artists by assessing factors such as whether they have held private exhibitions at major museums and galleries around the world, if they have participated in major global art fairs, and whether renowned galleries own their artworks.
Yang ranked 93rd, up from 99th last year. She is among four Asian artists on the list, with the other three being Ai Weiwei from China, and Yoko Ono and Hiroshi Sugimoto from Japan.
Based in Seoul and Berlin, Yang, 51, was the main creator at the Korean Pavilion in the 2009 edition of the Venice Biennale. In 2018, she became the first Asian female artist to receive the Wolfgang Hahn Prize, and this October, she received the Benesse Prize at the Singapore Biennale as the first Korean to do so.
Of the 100 people on Kunst Kompass, 29 are from Germany, 24 are from the United States and 12 are from the United Kingdom.
The magazine also announced a list of deceased artists whose work influenced the art world, and Nam June Paik was picked as the only Korean, ranking 15th.

"I didn't expect I'll win the finals. But I did better in handling the crucial moments. UDA wasn't fully focused at the beginning of this match, so I got the opportunity," stated CHO after his victory.
The 15-year-old added "I was well prepared for this match mentally and in terms of all the strategies. I played the Mixed Doubles final and the Boys' Doubles final before this, it's been an exhausting day, it's hard to recover from the fatigue.I enjoyed these seven days. I think the competition is well organized, and I made lots of friend here."

In the Girls' Doubles matchup, Girls' Singles rivals LEE and KIHARA teamed up against HUANG Yingqi (CHN) and RYU Hanna (KOR), whom they won the team Gold with, to fight for the title.Familiar with the opponent pair's strengths and weaknesses, the quad pushed each other to the full distance, and it was HUANG and RYU who recovered from 1-2 game down to take the Gold medal 3-2 (11-8, 5-11, 7-11, 11-6, 11-7).
2015 Boys' Team Champion Europe avenged their loss to the Asian team in the team semifinals with Maciej KOLODZIEJCZYK (AUT) and Vladimir SIDORENKO (RUS) upsetting top seeded pair CHO Daeseong and Yukiya UDA 3-2 (13-11, 7-11, 11-4, 8-11, 11-6).
Finishing fifth in the Singles event to miss out on a spot on the podium, fourth seeded Amy WANG paired with Singles Champion CHO to defeat UDA and 11-year-old Elena ZAHARIA from the ITTF Hopes team 2-1 (11-7, 6-11, 11-4) to claim the Mixed Doubles title, and secure the first ever Gold medal for North America.

Can you believe how fast the year is going?
I want to show you my latest quilt.
I love making quilts from scraps . . .
it's almost like a free quilt.
Now for the winner of this banner.
Is the winner of this Joy banner.
She is also a nurse at a long term care center.
Scrap quilts are my favorites; however, the scraps never seem to be used up and all my quilts end up with pieces of the same fabrics. ;) Your fall decorations are sweet and NO! where has this year gone!
Connie your quilt is wonderful!!
Congratulations to Mari, a beautiful banner. Will pop over to visit next. Love the quilt, so bright and cheerful and an great way to use up all of this little projects that have been abandoned.
That quilt reminds me of the ones my grandmother made from her scrap bag fabrics. I still have a couple of them. It is so wonderful to be able to use those pieces and 'remember' what the fabric was for in the original project(s).
Hello Sweetie, thanks for stopping by. Scrappy quilts are fun and because they are made from scraps you don't mind it when the dog decides to take a nap on one, or the grand-kids use them on the floor for watching TV :) I know you will like Mari's blog.
Congratulations to Mari. I know she will love the banner. That quilt makes me happy just looking at it. I love scrappy quilts. All of the bright colors just pop. I really like your first picture of the bicycle and the pumpkins too. It says fall to me.
Scrappy quilts are happy quilt :) I'm delighted that you like it.
and Connie, your quilts are all so sweet.
They definitely bring a smile.
Your quilt looks gorgeous Connie .. love all the different fabrics. Thanks for the chance to enter your wonderful giveaway! Congratulations to Mari.
Thank you . . . scrappy quilts do have a simple charm about them.
88 different fabrics in one quilt could well be a record!!
The final result is so cute!
Congrats to Mari, winning the draw.
Love, love, LOVE all that scrappy happiness in your next quilt. Me thinks I could look at this pretty forever and gaze upon all that 'scrappyliciousness'!! Why, I even spy some fabrics I have in my own stash. I am loving those sweet little hexies. A most beautiful quilt, Connie.
Thank you! It is fun to use up scraps to make new quilts . . . one thing that I like is that I never really plan anything, so the finished quilt is a surprise to me as well.
It's sweet that we both have purchased some of the same fabrics in the past. Great minds think alike, LOL.
I love your scrappy quilt! It's a great way to use those extra pieces of fabric.
I think your banner is so cute and I'm excited to find a place for it in my home. Won't be long till we're all decorating for Christmas! Thank you so much!
Hi Mari, I am delighted that you like the banner. I know that we start decorating for Christmas the week after Thanksgiving, that was why I wanted to do this before Thanksgiving and get it in the mail. The scrappy quilt is finished and now I'm working on a hand-quilted quilt for my sister-in-law. She found a quilt top that her grandmother had made and never finished. It was made back around 1930.
Your quilt is so sweet and I love your bike and pumpkin vignette in front of the barn is beautiful.
Beautiful decorations and I love your quilts. A good way to use up all the scraps. One day, I hope to take up quilting.
I'm delighted that you like my quilt and I have to tell you that I have been enjoying your trip also. The photos are wonderful . . . I love the cottages and shops with the thatched roofs . . . picture perfect and what I think of when I think of the UK.
Wow! That is a wonderful scrappy quilt! I like how you feel as though it is a 'free' quilt; that made me smile from ear to ear.
Using up bits and pieces to make your scrap quilt resulted in such a great looking piece! Congratulations to Mari! Happy November days to you.
88 fabrics, I was so surprised when I counted . . . it does make a happy and colorful quilt, thanks for your sweet words.
What a cheerful quilt which speaks so much of summer! I like the blue bike and pumpkins arrangement!
You have done very well with your 88 pieces of Fabric- well done Connie.
Congrats to Marie,,, and I luv that you added 'Hexis' in your scrappy quilt.
Thanks, I thought that the hexies would give it more "happy" and they were already made into flowers :) I think I had intended them for dishtowels and potholders a few years ago and then never got them made.
I would encourage you to start slowly and just have fun making quilted blocks. Then one day when you have a pile of them, your quilt will come together very quickly :) Quilt as you go is a great method for people like us that do not have a long-arm machine.
First of all I so love how you have decorated the bike for fall, looks fabulous!!
Wow 88 fabrics that is something else, you have done a great job of piecing them altogether, wonderful to keep warm with this winter! I have made a pillowcase using scraps from a quilt but never attempted something quite so big, bet it feels good to make something so useful out of all your quilt blocks!
Sweetheart, our homes are never completely done . . . that is a myth, LOL.
Such pretty colors on your scrap quilt!
Hi Lisa, I think that we like a lot of the same things . . . thanks for visiting. I'm always encouraged by your sweet words.

Q: Accepting Bitcoins on Heroku From what I've read, conventional wisdom is to generate a new Bitcoin address for each payment you're going to receive. However, since Heroku's file system is read only, where would you store the keys for each new address? bitpiggy.herokuapp.com is running on Heroku and appears to accept Bitcoins. Does anyone have any idea how they accept and handle Bitcoins on the Heroku platform given that the file system is read only?

A: They appear to be using a 3rd party supplier, e.g. blockexplorer.com or blockchain.info, for Bitcoin services. See their "developer resources" page for the API they wrote to access those.
You could also create such a service yourself, just run it on EC2 or a rented server/VPS.

Is there a better way sharing data across several templates. Maybe with a local collection. Any advise on this subject. Thank you very much community!
I think using session is fine.

The historical and recent years data on cancer and/or leukemia rate increasing after exposure of people in low dose (up to 100 mGy) radiation with a low LET, attributiveness of effects and the possibility of their experimental confirmation were considered. Previously, information about the carcinogenic effects of low doses was not clearly interpreted due to the presence of uncertainty, biases and confounders. The biological mechanism was also absent. In the last 5-7 years the situation has changed dramatically: more significant data were obtained: irradiation at computed tomography in dentistry, for residents of a high natural background radiation, and others. Simultaneously it was obtained radiobio-logical data on increased DNA double strand breaks level after exposure to doses from few milligrays and it can be considered as a possible molecular mechanism of these effects. As a result, was declared 'New Era in the Low Dose Radiation Epidemiology' (Kitahara С M., et al., 2015), which can lead to costs in terms of tightening of radiation risks and to fear of medical exposure. The conducted in the review analysis of recent epidemiological and radiobiological evidence suggests, however, that there is no unambiguous evidence of attributed to radiation carcinogenic effects, identified during the 'New Epidemiology of Low Doses', and there is no a proven molecular mechanism that could provide biological plausibility of such effects.

The lists of the diseases connected with radiation effects existing now at the level not only Russia and Belarus, but also at the Union State in general can be enhanced using cumulative scientific data. There are possible variants, as exceptions in the list of separate nosologies, reasons of which are rather caused not by radiation factors, and as introduction of diseases which radiation nature is confirmed by long-term researches. The conducted researches showed that creation of the single list of diseases within the Union State is a really question solving of which will demand not only significant scientific researches, but also serious legislative initiatives.

Radiation risks: triumph of the ideal or escape from reality?
Biological effects of low doses of radiation action and especially the problem of quantifying are still the subject of much debate and polar opinions about their hazards for a human and the environment. Nevertheless, the use of risk assessments under the control of the state of health of populations exposed is not widespread in the medical community. Does this indicate the need for revision and improvement of the radiation-epidemiological analysis techniques? Years of experience of the Federal Medical and Biophysical Center n.a. A. I. Burnazyan enable us to answerthis question from the standpoint of accumulated unique knowledge and methodologies by which managed to develop its own approach to optimize a core set of questions relating to the problems of long-term radiological effects of low doses.

Statistics in the Time of Politics
The well-known book Love in the Time of War tells a story of two people whose marriage is irrevocably shaped by the harsh realities of a war. Well, this is a story of two people whose lives are shaped by the harsh realities of politics now… and a bit more… just because of the commitment of the two people to protecting the integrity of official statistics.
My first thought in reading a post about the dismissal of Dr. Gordana Radojevic from her position was: "Oh no! Another case like Dr. Andreas Georgiou." Who is Dr. Andreas Georgiou? And who is Dr. Gordana Radojevic? What is their connection and what do they have in common?
Well, Dr. Georgiou is a former Director of the Greek Statistical Office (ELSTAT) who has been involved in a court case for slander in Greece for the past 10 years. Slander charges relate specifically to a public statement he made in his official role as Director of ELSTAT while fulfilling his responsibility to defend the official statistics for Greece produced under his leadership. The Supreme Civil and Criminal Court of Greece sentenced him to two years on probation for violation of duty – for not submitting the revised 2009 deficit and debt statistics of Greece for approval before transmitting them to Eurostat – the Statistical Office of the European Union (EU) – in November 2010. His statement was about defending the revision of the misreported deficit and debt statistics of Greece for the period 2006-2010. Debts and deficits are very politically relevant statistics, inspiring legislation and executive decisions that affect many people. Read more about Dr. Georgiou here.

http://monstat.org/
Dr. Radojevic is a former Director of the Statistical Office of Montenegro (MONSTAT). According to news from different sources, Dr. Radojevic was dismissed from her position of Director by decision of the Prime Minister of Montenegro -without holding a session, but based on the obtained consent of the majority of members of the Government. Dr. Radojevic posted that the dismissal was "based on the reasons for which proofs were not presented, without respecting the legally prescribed procedure while I was on a sick leave due to COVID-19 infection." In the previously mentioned post about the dismissal, a formal reason for the dismissal is given as: "the data from the Report on the work of the Statistical Office [of Montenegro] for 2020 indicate irregularities in the work of this administration." Some parliament members, as well as Dr. Radojevic herself, provided further details on the reasons – one being her refusal of the Government rules developed in August 2021 for conducting the upcoming Census of Population, Households and Dwellings in Montenegro in November 2021. Initially, the census was supposed to be conducted in April 2021, but it was postponed primarily due to the lack of the Census Law, which is the legal basis for carrying out the Census. The Census Law was drafted later than planned due to the pandemic, and then approved by the relevant EU experts and given to the Government of Montenegro in March 2021 for its official adoption in the fourth quarter of 2021. The Government decided in August 2021 to change the rules and conduct the Census in the fourth quarter 2021 even though the Census Law was not yet approved – which Dr. Radojevic did not agree with. The President of the Montenegrin Cultural Network believes that Dr. Radojevic was dismissed "because she is an obstacle to falsifying the census results" – in short, for doing her job.
Why do governments intervene in the work and lives of directors of statistical offices?
www.ceotodaymagazine.com
"Data are the new gold!" Data give power. Official Statistics are applied across a range of disciplines – economics, political science, sociology, psychology, anthropology, etc. – and have become a key feature of decision-making related to policies and social science. The official statistics that dominate political debates are largely national in character: poverty levels, unemployment, GDP, net migration, etc. The national statistical offices are still the official producers and carriers of most of the official national statistics (developed based on approved scientific methodologies, procedures, and quality assurance rules) – meaning the national statistical offices become more powerful and influential as the demands on data and statistics increase. This also leads to increased pressure on the producers of official statistics, particularly when governments like to present their economy in the best possible light.
The demand for more and faster data can force (positive) changes in data/statistics production processes, through improving things such as digitalization, standardization of methods, and procedures used. However, the flip side is the increased potential for distortion of data and methods, rules, and/or quality because of lack of full digitalization and standardization in the face of increasing demands and pressure. The national statistical authorities are governmental bodies and they are financed by the governments. The governmental budgets for the production and interpretation of official statistics influence the possibilities for improving the efficiency of statistics production processes, collecting more and better data, and supporting more justified decision-making around the economy. So much is connected, and … so much can be influenced.
Recent studies and papers shed light on how governments manipulate the quality of the data and associated summary statistics, especially macroeconomic. Roberto Aragão (University of Amsterdam) and Lukas Linsi (University of Groningen) explored manipulation typology (distinguishing four types of manipulation) on three known case studies, one of which was the Greek case related to Dr. Georgiou. They presented their results in the paper "Many shades of wrong: what governments do when they manipulate statistics" (2020). Manipulation of COVID-19 related statistics in Brazil was the subject of one of the first posts on this blog.
As the situations of the two directors of the national statistical offices show, there are also other ways for politics to influence statistics at the level of those producing them; these include manipulating the humans involved (professionals in their field) through ignoring their professionalism, making poor decisions based more on political goals and less on professional knowledge, or just intruding directly into the work (counter to the usual scientific methods and procedures).
Principle 1 of the United Nations Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics as well as the Principle 1 of the European Statistics Code of Practice give statistical offices the right to react to misuse of statistics and in general, and as also stated in the Paragraph 20 of the Preamble to EU Regulation 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council, state that the national statistical authorities of the EU should enjoy professional independence and ensure impartiality and high quality in the production of European statistics (in accordance with the principles in the European Statistics Code of Practice).
Knowing very well the UN and European Statistics Code of Practice Principles, as formerly dealing with quality management in a statistical office and currently dealing with standardization and digitalization of statistical production system, and reading about happenings to former directors of the national statistical offices, made me ask myself – What has happened to independence, impartiality, and quality of the statistical authorities? How much is national politics shaping the statistical authorities and their work over the last couple of decades and after the development of the Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics? The reality is that not even these established principles and legislations, to which the statistical authorities committed themselves, can guarantee the desired scientific freedom, responsibility and impartiality; and in the broadest view, democratic and human rights in general.
In my opinion, official statistics is inevitably shaped by governments, state economies and politics, no matter how much statisticians wish to be professionally independent, impartial and produce high quality data, which should serve Government, economy and politics in general.

Q: Can't run line command with AHK Anyone why my parameters are not active please ?
thanks
Run, "C:\Program Files (x86)\rFactor\rFactor Dedicated.exe" "+oneclick +profile "serveur01""

A: Autohotkey doesn't need quotes for the program - it is not the same as batch scripting.
If your program requires quotes for the commandline parameter, then you include quotes.
But you don't have any spaces in the parameters, so you don't need any quotes at all.

Amy Grant hosts a great party at the Celebrity Theatre
Randy Cordova
Amy Grant isn't one to be coy.
"I am 58," she announced early during her concert at the Celebrity Theatre. "I will not sound like the record. We just do the best we can."
She's being too hard on herself. Grant sounded terrific on Friday night: Warm, expressive and, most importantly, honest. She has the gift of making almost anything she sings feel like a heartfelt confessional. On something like "Missing You," a song she wrote for 1997's wonderfully introspective "Behind the Eyes," the vulnerability could be breathtaking.
The evening, while not lacking in energy, was a decidedly low-key affair. Grant made one of the most un-showbizzy entrances ever, simply walking on stage a few steps behind her band. If you weren't paying attention, you could have thought she was a member of her group, not the platinum-selling star attraction.
That move quietly emphasized how she views herself musically as part of a unit. She seems most comfortable behind a guitar, a far cry from the choreographed gloss of the early '90s. She joked about looking at her old tour schedules that once consisted of 150 cities, with two days off each week: "This world tour is seven cities!" she declared.
She was dressed in a Western-style jacket and wore jeans tucked into cowboy boots that were colorfully embroidered. She received them from Michael Martin Murphey, she confided, and it was her first time wearing them on stage. She recorded a new version of his "Wildfire" as a duet with the singer; he paid her with boots, not cash.
It seemed like every song was prefaced with a story; sometimes, Grant joked, the introductory tales had nothing to do with the music that followed. It added to the evening's charms. Could anyone else tell a story about the acceptance of God's love by talking about her family's eccentricities? "One of my uncles was so crazy, his wife lobotomized him on a trip to Mexico," she said, and it was slightly loopy and sweetly sincere at the same time.

Even during her days as an arena headliner, Grant possessed the rare gift of making a large venue feel intimate. She still has that quality; at times, it almost felt like Grant had invited you into her living room to tell stories and watch a jam session. Even though she followed the planned setlist to a T, there was a playful, relaxed looseness to the night. A lot of that was due to Grant, who once flubbed a lyric and restarted "Curious Thing" after coming in too late. She giggled about her mistake: "The important thing about live music is to keep the momentum going," she joked.
The pace rarely lagged, as the setlist touched on all phases of her long career. From the very early days, there were such gems as "Father's Eyes," a ballad with a wistful optimism that is now tempered with maturity. From 1985's landmark "Unguarded" album came "Love of Another Kind," which was reworked from its big-drum '80s sound into something more layered and mellow.
Her years as a crossover superstar were well-represented, with plenty of tracks from "Heart in Motion" and "House of Love." "Hope Set High," from the previous disc, was prefaced with a lovely story about the song's birth during a retreat for teenagers held at her farm.
Her four-piece band (with two backing singers) handled the diverse musical changes with ease. Opener "Anywhere with Jesus" bordered on bluegrass, while a lively cover of Jackie DeShannon's "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" boasted a bluesy Memphis vibe that kept the audience on its feet as the show came to a pleasing close.
In between, the highlights just kept coming. She bit into the lyrics of "Takes a Little Time," which chugged along with a Dylan-style harmonica. She revisited 1986's "Stay for Awhile" after trying it out during her afternoon soundcheck; the warmly nostalgic lyrics resonated with the crowd. And the classic "El Shaddai" was stately in its simplicity and her beautifully unadorned vocal. It was an enthralling moment.
Grant seemed delighted by the audience's enthusiasm: "You guys are a party even without anyone on stage," she gushed. Not true; this was one party that needed a host, and it had a perfect one.

Mourinho talks up Real Madrid-Manchester United clash
The Portuguese has expressed his excitement at the upcoming Champions League fixture while also re-affirming his "fantastic relationship" with counterpart Sir Alex Ferguson
Jose Mourinho has described Real Madrid's mouth-watering Champions League clash with Manchester United as "the match the world is waiting for".
United travel to Bernabeu for the first leg of their last-16 tie in midweek, and the los Blancos boss was seen at Old Trafford to watch the current Premier League leaders defeat Everton 2-0 and extend the gap between themselves and Manchester City to 12 points at the top of the table.
And despite the attractions of Bayern Munich taking on Arsenal and AC Milan facing off against Barcelona in the same round of the competition, Mourinho believes the tie between his own side and United is the main lure for spectators.
"It is the match the world is waiting for," Mourinho told MUTV.
"The world is not waiting for other matches in the Champions League, so I hope we can give the world what they are waiting for."
Mourinho and Sir Alex Ferguson are known to enjoy a good relationship and the former, who has won the Champions League on two occasions with both Porto and Inter, was quick to praise his managerial counterpart.
"I feel privileged about that because he is such an important person in the world of football and, more importantly than that, he is good person," Mourinho added.
"I have always had a fantastic relationship and I am proud of it. We have had so many matches between us which started with Porto. We had some with Chelsea, Inter and now Real. At all of my clubs I have met Manchester United and Sir Alex.
"Of course, I want to win and he wants to win, but I believe the loser will have a little bit of space to feel a little bit happy because of the friendship, but I want to win."

Care fees plans are not the only way to meet the cost of care fees.
When working with clients in this advice area we always consider the full range of options and these will include using savings to pay for care fees or investing capital with the aim of generating sufficient income to pay the fees.
Using existing savings to pay for care fees is the simplest and lowest risk option to consider outside of an immediate care plan.
The main risk associated with this option is that the money will eventually run out. This can result in the person requiring care having to move to a poorer quality care home in the future.
In this current low-interest rate environment the return from cash savings is potentially unattractive for many and lower interest rates accelerate the erosion of capital.
As part of the care fees planning reports we construct for clients, we have built a model to illustrate how long cash savings are likely to last and this can then be discussed in the context of likely life expectancy and what would happen if funds ran out.
Investing capital to generate income to pay care fees involves exposing money to a higher degree of risk in the hope of achieving greater returns and making the capital last for longer.
A popular investment option for care fees planning is the insurance Investment Bond which enables tax deferred capital withdrawals to be made instead of taxable income.
What is important is for all of the options to be considered in light of the individual circumstances and objectives. No two people are the same and therefore no single care fees planning solution is always suitable.

Hugh Hefner, Playboy, and Chess
by Albert Silver
9/29/2017 – It might seem odd to write a tribute to Hugh Hefner, founder of the legendary Playboy magazine, who died now at the ripe age of 91. However, in its own way, Playboy magazine has had a significant impact on chess and some of its big names. Famed chess figures to mark their presence are Bobby Fischer, Garry Kasparov, Veselin Topalov, and even Judit Polgar. | Photo: Jeff Rayner / Mirror.co.uk

Breaking taboos
Playboy is not the sort of magazine one would think chess had any connection to, except perhaps as a copy of which was forgotten at the local club one day. Nevertheless, the pioneering publication has had a deep impact on society in general that is easily forgotten by the facade of naked women on its cover and pages.
Hugh Hefner himself was the embodiment of the American Dream in more ways than most, and as a personality and legacy, there is no question the topic can lead to heated debates on many fronts. There is certainly no intent here to claim any revelations or judgments on him.
Born in 1926, he grew up with two siblings in a family of stark moral values. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he explained that his parents were 'raised pure Prohibitionist'. This is in reference to the famous Prohibition, a law that pervaded the US from 1920 to 1933, in which alcohol manufacturing and consumption were illegal. "They were very good people, with high moral standards — but very repressed. There was no hugging and kissing in my home."
It was this excessive rigidity that led him to rebel, and eventually seek to rethink his own values and how they fit in with American society. He graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in psychology, and went to work as a copywriter for Esquire. Esquire was a magazine aimed at older men, promoting male bonding and outdoor adventure, and Hefner sought something that spoke about relationships and an open dialogue on sexuality.
The very first issue of Playboy magazine did not even have a date on it, in case it flopped
From its first issue in 1953, with the sensational (at the time) nude photo of Marylin Monroe, its success was such that it had a powerful impact on the sexual revolution that was to take place in the US.
"If you don't encourage healthy sexual expression in public, you get unhealthy sexual expression in private," his magazine quoted him as saying in 1974.
An interview with Hugh Hefner in 2010 by Larry King. The famous talk show host reveals that even he was interviewed by the magazine in the past.
"I read it for the articles"
If that had been all there was too it, there would be little so say, but Hugh Hefner went beyond the boundaries the magazine seemed confined to. He commissioned contributions from literary giants over the years such as Isaac Asimov, John Updike, Vladimir Nabokov, and David Mamet, and the magazine became known for world class content. This led to the popular joke, "I read it for the articles".
The magazine also earned respect for tackling social issues and carrying lengthy interviews with high-profile figures like Martin Luther King Jr. (interviewed by Alex Haley!), John Lennon and Muhammad Ali. This legacy had deep and far-reaching effects, and also meant that over the years and decades, being interviewed by Playboy magazine was a point of prestige.
"You Don't Know the Half of Him"
With no clear constraint on the topic, or personality, even chess players have been caught in this wide-thrown net.
The first chess personality to receive Playboy's attention is, with no surprise, Bobby Fischer, who appeared in the July 1973 issue, shortly after he had won the world title. It was not an interview per se, but the World Champion was certainly in good company, as the issue also included a lengthy interview with the great Kurt Vonnegut Jr, who was at the peak of his fame as well.
"Bobby Fischer — You Don't Know the Half of Him", reads the cover (right — click or tab to expand)
In a sense, this was also a sign of just how transcendental Bobby Fischer was in the 70s, becoming a must as a topic even in a men's magazine such as Playboy. It would be another 16 years before a chess figure was to capture the public imagination enough that even Playboy could not overlook, and in 1989, five years after winning the title, Garry Kasparov became the centerpiece interview of the world-renowned magazine.
"A normal lifestyle does not exist here in the Soviet Union...It's like living in a house of mirrors. Well, the only way out is to smash those mirrors."
If Bobby Fischer had been cast in the role of East vs West, this time it was Garry Kasparov who championed a new metaphor: he was the standard bearer of Glasnost and Perestroika, while his rival Anatoly Karpov was the product of the old Soviet establishment. He also sought to portray himself as a young and virile champion, to break the stodgy bifocal-wearing image that chess players unjustly carried in the public eye.
The interview also brought some priceless moments, such as:
Playboy - How about women chess players?
Garry Kasparov (in 1989)- Well, in the past, I have said that there is real chess and women's chess. Some people don't like to hear this, but chess does not fit women properly. It's a fight, you know? A big fight. It's not for women. Sorry. She's helpless if she has men's opposition. I think this is very simple logic.
To be fair, two daughters and two decades later, Kasparov was a little more tempered in his views when questioned by the same magazine:
Playboy - Why are there relatively few women chess players?
Garry Kasparov (in 2008) - Tradition. How many women composers are there? Architects? Things are changing in this. We have Judit Polgar, who proved a woman can make the top 10…
Note the far more sober appearance. This time chess has moved on, in no small part thanks to him, and there is no need to sell chess as a normal activity. He has other things on his plate.
In December 2005, shortly after Kasparov's retirement, the Bulgarian edition interviewed Veselin Topalov, the newly crowned FIDE World Champion.
Topalov had recently won in San Luis, and broken 2800 for the first time
It was a 20-question interview, and while Kasparov's had covered everything from sports to politics, here the questions were unusually technical on chess, asking about his openings choices among others. Clearly the Bulgarian readership was expected to have no issues.
Finally, in 2015, remarkably, it was Judit Polgar's turn, having just retired from competition, who was the star of the Hungarian version of Playboy. It might seem hard to believe that a woman who had broken every gender preconception and prejudice in the sport, Garry Kasparov's no less, would appear in a magazine that had been accused of objectifying women.
However, it was really a sign of empowerment, that a personality such as hers, and all that she represents, could not only do this with her legacy unscathed, but shine through it.
Polgar in the Hungarian edition in 2015
The title of the interview reads: "Judit Polgar — above average intelligence", which may qualify for the "Understatement of the Year" award. In it she discusses her decision to retire, notably the process that led to it, and shares anecdotes on growing up in a field dominated by men.
Playboy magazine published a video (in Hungarian, it should be noted) with Judit Polgar at their website, a 'Making Of' preceding the interview and photoshoot, as well as comments and answers on camera.
More than just interviews, each of these appearances in Playboy has helped promote chess as a mainstream activity, with greater acceptance.
"Love him or loathe him, no one doubts Mr. Hefner's influence in American cultural history," wrote The New York Times in 2009.

Thanks for the piece, Albert. It is true that through Hefner's notorious life we might not be getting a glimpse at 20th Century's most notable of cultural aspects, but it is in his motivation and his faith in himself that we get to see one of America's greatest achievements: that unique and blessed state of mind and spirit called The American Dream...
Bill Alg 9/30/2017 08:05
Yes, I agree with the first sentence, it does seem odd to have a piece on Hefner in chessbase. But later when I read that Playboy 'has had a significant impact on chess', I thought this must be a joke. A tribute to a 90-year-old, viagra-taking harem owner means that the quality of articles here has indeed dropped very low.
stephen brady 9/29/2017 09:59
Also, in that picture, it appears that black has a bishop on e8 and g8, giving him 2 white bishops! So i guess it's not fischer random, which could have helped the A1 rook escape.
@Maty, if you're talking about the picture with Hef at the very top, the kings arent necessarily in the wrong place, since the game has already begun. However, the A1 rook must have jumped for at least a move, since the C1 Bishop is still being blocked on b2 and d2 :)

They never got Judit to do a centerfold???

Do I know my dream job – or the type of job I'm looking for (on my way to my dream job)? If not, have I considered taking an interest assessment to help me consider what I might enjoy doing in the civilian workforce?
Do I know that the type of job I am searching for is available in my local community?
Do I have a network I can turn to for assistance with my job search?
Can a civilian human resources representative easily understand my resume?
Have I checked it to be sure my skills are captured using some of the language in the company's job description? Have I considered what I will need as a person with a disability in the workforce? Do I know what accommodations exist? Do I know what I might need to be more productive? Might I need an accommodation in the interview process?
If so, have I considered how I will discuss (disclose) my need in this regard? If considering federal employment, have I considered special hiring authorities targeting disabled veterans and people with disabilities?
Who am I turning to for support during my job search? Who else might I want to include in this list?


Obesity means accumulation of excess fat in the body especially around the abdomen. Obesity leads to several health conditions including heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure etc.
There is usually a chronic state of inflammation in obese persons. This may play a role in development of insulin resistance and result in poor oral health. Obesity ranks second in importance to smoking as the strongest risk factor for inflammatory periodontal tissue destruction.
The first report connecting obesity and periodontal disease appeared in 1977 among laboratory rats. It was noted that under healthy oral conditions, obesity per se does not promote pathologic periodontal changes. The periodontal changes and severe damage is seen in response to bacterial plaque accumulation.
Human reports first came in 1998 among Japanese adults. Studies show that increasing body mass index (BMI) and waist to hip ratio was associated with increasing risk of periodontitis.
Data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) also shows that there is a significant association between measures of body fat like BMI and waist to hip ratio and periodontal disease especially among young adults. The association is not very strong among middle-aged or older adults.
There have been recent studies that reveal the presence of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha), an inflammation marker, in the gingival crevice fluid among those with a high BMI.
High BMI may be contributing to increased reservoir of inflammation inducing cytokines in the body fat tissues. These may be increasing the inflammatory response in people with periodontal disease.
Obesity and diabetes both are associated conditions. They are caused by high calorie and high fat diets. High levels of blood sugar, inflammation and insulin resistance contributes to inflammation and periodontitis.
Diabetes is associated with intake of foods with a high glycemic index (GI). Foods like fibre rich foods are considered to be healthy and these require adequate chewing. These foods are good for oral and gum health as well as for prevention of diabetes and obesity.
Evaluation of the NHANES III study also showed that people with fewer than 28 teeth took less amounts of fibre rich foods like carrots, tossed salads, and dietary fibers. The study showed that subjects with diabetes and insulin resistance had more severe periodontitis than those without these diseases.
Because of the recognized importance of obesity in oral health, dentists and oral hygienists usually emphasize on obesity prevention and management. This is more important because, studies as well as the NHANES data reveal that a large proportion of men who had a moderate risk of experiencing a cardiovascular or heart event (e.g. a heart attack) within 10 years, had not seen a physician in the previous 12 months, but had seen a dentist.
