Q: Are temp tables in SQL ever reused? I'm using EF and Dapper as ORMs.  With some queries, I've optimized down to creating temporary tables like so:
Create Table #temp(FromUserId int, ToUserId int, FromAction int, ToAction int, IsMatch int)

My concern is - if I have a high number of users on my app all hitting this query at the same time, does each instance of the context get its own temp table?
Do I have to worry about naming the temp tables something unique (like the session ID?)
Usually my connections are made using something like the following from my service layer:
 using (var connection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DefaultConnection"].ConnectionString)) {

Any help would be awesome.

Season Memberships
Corporate Experiences
Fan Experiences
The Swarm Experience
Q&A: Randy Staats
Staats talks fatherhood, lots of lacrosse, and his brother joining the NLL ranks
The day-to-day grind never stops for anyone. For Randy Staats, it's meant a ton of lacrosse.
Following the conclusion of the Georgia Swarm's 2017-18 season, the 25-year-old traveled to Israel to play in the FIL World Lacrosse Championship, winning the bronze with the Iroquois Nationals. Sandwiched around that was him playing in the MLL with the Dallas Rattlers and going to the MLL Championship. At the same time, Staats was playing in Major Series Lacrosse (MSL) with the Six Nations Chiefs.
Despite his busy schedule, Staats goes home with a smile on his face to his seven-month-old daughter, Teiakoronhiakétskwen ("She has lifted the sky" in Mohawk) Paedyn Staats. He's loving the new experiences fatherhood brings.
Add to that his brother Austin Staats being selected No. 1 overall by the San Diego Seals in the 2018 NLL Entry Draft, and there's a lot for Staats to be excited about leading into the 2018-19 NLL season. You can hear it in his voice, and that enthusiasm is contagious, helping bridge the last two weeks before Training Camp.
You've had a busy offseason with the MLL, FIL World Championship and MSL. How're you holding up?
I feel good, man. Obviously, starting in – I think our first game was middle of December last year up until I think my last game was August 15 – going every week was obviously a lot on the body, but it's what I train for and what I prepare for. It was good. I had a great time in all the leagues. Made it to the championship with the MLL. Unfortunately, it didn't pan out the way we wanted it to. In the MSL, we got beat out in the first round, so that kind of shortened my season up more than it normally is. The time we spent in Israel was also amazing. That was an experience that I'll never forget. It was actually one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. The championships were good. It was just a ton of lacrosse.
How cool was it getting to represent your nation halfway across the world?
People ask me this question a lot. Whenever you put on the Iroquois Nationals jersey, whether it's even in practice or trying out, it means something because it's much more than lacrosse. You're representing people before you, the people that are watching now, and it's amazing. That's one of the things I really hold dear to me is playing for much more than the game when it comes to playing for the Iroquois Nationals. It was an awesome experience.

You add to all that fatherhood. How is it being a first-time dad?
That's amazing, right? If I come home from a win or if I come home from a loss, her mood never changes, and it's one of the most awesome things that I get to come home to, because she doesn't care. (Laughing) It's awesome. I get to spend all my time with her and watch her grow. It's actually very special, and I'm enjoying it a lot.
Let's touch on last season a little bit. Looking back on it, what was your biggest takeaway from the 2017-18 Swarm season?
Our slow starts. I feel like we had a couple slow starts last year. I think when you jump right out of the gate and play the way we can play for a whole sixty rather than thirty minutes or a quarter, I think we'll be much more effective. I just feel like that's the biggest takeaway in my eyes is our slow starts. Sometimes you get down and try to claw your way back out and do it, but I think if we just put a full sixty together throughout the whole 18 games, we'll be in good shape.
Chi (Swarm assistant coach Sean Ferris) was telling me how hard you're hitting the gym. What's the work you put in during the offseason?
After my full season's over with all the leagues, I take probably a week off, and then I kind of rejuvenate my body. Then I get back into the gym, and I hit it pretty hard every day. I try to do my cardio, follow a pretty strict regimen that my trainer has set up for me. I just try and get it done and stay healthy. I've been doing a lot of stretching this season. We'll see how that works out for me.
Let's jump over to draft night. Did you get to watch it and see your brother, Austin, being selected first overall by San Diego?
Yeah, I did, actually. I watched the first couple rounds. It was pretty awesome to see how happy he was. I talked to him in the morning before it happened. He was talking about how nervous he was and all this stuff. I was happy to see him go first. He's going to be a tough match.
You're excited for it though, right?
Yeah, I'm thrilled. I don't think we've ever played against each other in a competitive match. We've always been on the same team. I guess the backyard doesn't count, or I guess it counts. We play against each other back there. I'm excited for him, he's excited, my whole family's excited. We play (San Diego) later on in the season and in Georgia. I think the whole family's coming down for that one. It's going to be something special.

What'd you think of how the Swarm did in the draft?
Getting a player like (Holden) Cattoni is huge for us. It definitely gives us an outside threat. He's got a rocket of a shot. Playing against him for the past couple years in Junior A and MSL, I've seen him play a lot, and he's scored a lot of goals. I like the way he plays, and I'm excited to meet him and get that going.
As far as the draftees go, I thought it was an awesome draft. We picked Brendan Bomberry first, and I played with him in Junior and I played with him with the Chiefs. I've known him for quite a while now. He's a good player. He's kind of like a utility player. He can play up on offense, he can play defense, transition. He's definitely a good pickup for us. I'm excited to see all these guys at Training Camp on November 2.
There's going to be a ton of new faces in Training Camp when you include the free agent signings, too. Does that give the whole thing an extra layer of excitement?
Yeah. There's always spots open, you know what I mean? You're always playing for your job. I feel like Training Camp is always competitive. It's not going to be an easy Training Camp, you know; it never really is. We're going to be competing for three weekends in a row, and we'll see what happens from there. It's definitely a tough three weeks. There's no easy way around it.
What are your expectations for the upcoming season, for yourself and for the team?
To win the NLL Cup.
Excellent. Short and simple, I love it.
(Laughing) No, I mean, I think that's everybody's goal, right? It doesn't come as easy as I say. It comes with a lot of hard work and a lot of dedication both on the field and off the field with the homework that we get sent to us and being in the gym, staying with our stick in our hands, and doing all that stuff. That's my expectation, is for us to be accountable week in and week out until we are hoisting that trophy, hopefully.
My expectation for this season is just to do what I can do, try to keep doing what I've been doing, set picks, getting off the floor, doing all the things the coaches ask me to do. Hopefully, I can do a little bit more than that, too. I want to do whatever I can to help the team to win.
When you play against Austin, does that mean you'll play some defense, too, square up one-on-one with him?
(Laughing) I'll be a liability back there. I don't know if Chi or Eddie would want me running out the back door. If it happens, it happens, and I'll have to shut him down.

Best movie you've seen recently?
Lawless.
Cheat day treat?
Cheesecake.
Favorite sports team?
Georgia Swarm, Toronto Maple Leafs.
Star player in any other sport, what would it be?
Least favorite exercise?
Favorite tattoo you have?
That's tough, because they all mean something to me. I like them all.
Best lacrosse memory?
Winning the Champion's Cup was pretty amazing. That's definitely up there. Probably me getting accepted into Syracuse was one of my most accomplished, fulfilling things that I've done in my lacrosse career.

Guccio Gucci was born in Florence, Italy in 1881. In the initial period when Gucci was not established, Guccio Gucci relied on the savoy hotel in the United Kingdom as a doorman. Because it is a high-end hotel, there are often high-class people in and out of the hotel. Guccio Gucci is responsible for carrying bags and luggage for these guests. Box to earn tips.

That said, these shoes are very hard to come by. For one thing, there are only a few thousand pairs available for sale, each individually numbered. Due to the low volume, a raffle system was created so that interested parties could indicate their desired size, style and pickup location. Those who managed to win the lottery had to pay a high price: $2,200 high or $2,000 low.

This pair of Air Jordan 1 Low OG "Mystic Navy" has previously exposed physical pictures, and the most eye-catching place at that time was the leather texture. Today we ushered in the release of the complete official picture, and the release is also scheduled for August, which is almost two months away from today. As one of the original first year colors of the Air Jordan 1 family, the status of black and blue in the shoe circle is obvious to all.

Gardner, A
Albumen print by A Gardner from the album asembled by John Downes Rochfort. Rochfort visited all the major American Civil War sites in 1867 and some of the photographs he purchased en route have since become some of that war's best known images. Up to this time war had been portrayed as a series of heroic tableaux; these photographs revealed its realities for the first time. Gettysburg was the decisive battle of the war. General Robert E Lee's Confederate army fought the Union army of the Potomac under General Meade for the first three days of July 1863. The Union army lost 23,000 men and the Confederates 25,000, marking the end of Lee's planned invasion of the north.

L.A. Essentials: Chris Gibbs of Union Los Angeles
The New York transplant—and owner of one of the best menswear stores in the country—is the man to hit up if you want to know where to eat without waiting for a table. Because who has time for that?
Phoebe Lovatt
Phoebe Lovatt (@phoebelovatt) is a born-and-raised Londoner now living in Los Angeles. She writes about food, style, and music for publications including Dazed & Confused, GQ, and Elle, and documents her travel obsession on her own site, anywhere-anywhere.com.
Union L.A. owner Chris Gibbs might have been living in Los Angeles for ten years, but he still runs on New York time. "I'm impatient. I won't wait an hour for a table," Gibbs says of his affinity for lowkey sushi and sandwich spots. "I left a lot of the 'go-to' restaurants in the city off my list for that reason. Animal might do the best poutine I've ever tasted in my life (and I say that as a Canadian), but you can't get in after 6.30pm, so I never go."
Instead, the self-made streetwear guru (he ran Union's New York store for ten years before buying the business and relocating to L.A.) sticks to a tried-and-tested list of spots that fits his busy schedule. And despite initially struggling with L.A.'s sprawl ("Los Angeles doesn't really work like a metropolitan city—when I first moved here, that was really hard for me to navigate"), Gibbs has come to appreciate the upsides of its more leisurely way of life.
"Your average Los Angeleno with money probably doesn't have to wear a suit, and is therefore more likely to spend more on the high-end Japanese casualwear we're importing," he says. "You definitely have to seek out good food in L.A., but business-wise, this city has been good to me."
Here, Gibbs lets us in on the secret to eating well in L.A., without wasting your time.
Asanebo
Address and phone: 11941 Ventura Blvd, Studio City (818-760-3348) Website: asanebo-restaurant.com Gibbs says: I know I'm going to get burned for this, but I think, as far as my experience goes, L.A. might be the best city for sushi in America. It may even be up there in the world. I say that as someone who goes to Japan all the time, although I don't actually eat all that much sushi while I'm there—it's just one element of a very diverse cuisine, kind of how steak is to American cuisine. I got introduced to Asanebo by a good friend of mine named Giorgio. He's Italian and he's an ill foodie—probably one of the illest foodies I've ever met. His Instagram is just photos of food and art; that's all he'll show you. He lives in Modena (sidebar: He actually took me for one of the best meals of my life at Osteria Francescana, which is the number six restaurant in the world), but he came to L.A. and suggested meeting up for lunch at this spot. I never usually go to eat in the Valley just 'cause it's not convenient to me, but this is now my favorite place to get sushi in L.A. They do sashimi really well, and there's this tempura red snapper dish in a vinegar sauce which is basically Japanese fish and chips, as done by a sushi master. That's my favorite thing.
Gjelina
Address and phone: 1429 Abbot Kinney Blvd, Venice (310-450-1429) Website: gjelina.com Gibbs says: Love the food, hate the service. But I can't front, the end product is worth it. When it first opened, my wife and I would go there all the time, but then it blew up to this zone where you had to wait six months for a table or whatever and I stopped going. I was a little disappointed when it turned into 'that' restaurant. I started to go back recently—it's a good place to take people who are visiting from out of town. The food is amazing, all their vegetable dishes are incredible. And as far as L.A. pizza goes, they do a really good pizza. But that isn't saying much. Which brings me to my next spot…
Gibbs says: I'm putting a blank where my pizza spot would be. I don't think they make good pizza in L.A, and I know any Angeleno reading that is going to take it personally. When I first moved here, I was that New Yorker who hated all the pizza here, then I started being like, 'It's fine, it's okay.' Recently, I went back to New York and stopped at some random corner pizza spot—not Ray's or anywhere like that, just a random spot—and got a slice. I took one bite and it was like that scene in Ratatouille—I was like, 'Oh, that's what pizza is supposed to taste like.' You forget.
Address and phone: 2135 Sunset Blvd, Echo Park (213-484-6829) Website: elfcafe.com Gibbs says: Elf is this vegetarian restaurant in Echo Park. It's really quaint, there's not a lot of seating. But take away every preconception that you would have about vegetarian food—or every preconception I would have about vegetarian food—and you've got this home-style, home-cooked soul food that's just hearty and really tasty. I usually get the quiche, and my wife always gets the massaged kale salad. I don't think there's anything bad on the menu. The only that sucks is that they're closed on Monday and Tuesday. Very L.A.
Joan's on Third
Address and phone: 8350 W 3rd St (323-655-2285) Website: joansonthird.com Gibbs says: Joan's is convenient, it's central in L.A. terms, and you can always get a seat, which is important to me. It's a great place to meet people for a quick breakfast or lunch. I think they do the best New York-style breakfast sandwich—just cheese, an egg, bacon, on toast—in L.A.
Sqirl
Address and phone: 720 N Virgil Ave, East Hollywood (213-394-6526) Website: sqirlla.com Gibbs says: When L.A. gets these food fads going, it's easy to get caught up in them. Two years ago there was a big coffee thing going on here, what with Intelligentsia and Handsome Coffee Roasters and LAMill, but it's maybe plateaued now. I definitely thought I was a coffee connoisseur for a while there, though! Around the corner from this café Sqirl there used to be this guy who fixed motorcycles and he would also make coffee, which everyone knew was the best in L.A. I think the Sqirl guys started serving coffee in competition, and it's really good. The food is great, too.
Address and phone: 3145 Glendale Blvd, Atwater Village (323-644-0250) Website: the-juice.myshopify.com Gibbs says: Another big L.A. fad is juice—the cold-pressed 'ten dollar juice,' as I call it. I do juice. I'm probably not very good at it because I still eat food, but it's healthy, it gives you energy, and it's become an art form out here. The trend really started here in L.A. at Beverly Hills Juice and now it has spread all over the country. A good friend of mine just opened this spot in Atwater Village and it's great.
Guisados Tacos
Address and phone: 2100 East Cesar E Chavez Ave (323-264-7201) Website: guisados.co Gibbs says: There's a couple of locations, one downtown and one in Echo Park. Guisados just does really good, amazing, tasty tacos at a really affordable price. They took street food, made it gourmet, and still charge you a street price. I usually get the mini taco sampler because everything you get is so good, although sometimes I substitute the hot one—it's a little too hot.
Erewhon Natural Foods Market
Address and phone: 7660 Beverly Blvd (323-937-0777) Website: erewhonmarket.com Gibbs says: I'm a big soup guy, I love soup, and you can't go wrong with any one of Erewhon's soups. It's impossible. When you go there, it's not even a secret—the soups are sold out all the time. You have to get there early. Tomato bisque is my favorite. Erewhon is the best health food store in L.A. by far. Specifically, their cooked food is really tasty, unlike Whole Foods where it's really good for you but it doesn't taste good and all the health claims are kind of bullshit—I've read articles about it. If you get the Whole Foods brand organic frozen vegetables, they're from China where the organic regulations aren't strict. So you can't even really prove that it's organic. I'm kind of cynical, but I don't think a company can get to that size and stay conscious. It's all about money, which really defeats the purpose.
Loteria Grill
Address and phone: 6333 W 3rd St (323-930-2211) Website: loteriagrill.com Gibbs says: This is one of my favorite Mexican spots. Everything on the menu is good but I always get the enchiladas suizas—the green tomatillo sauce, which I would never have known about if I hadn't moved to L.A. It's sweet and spicy and really good.
Address and phone: 6333 W 3rd St, Fairfax (323-933-9211) Website: farmersmarketla.com Gibbs says: Again, this spot is all about convenience. You can always get in because it's open seating outside and every stall in there has better than decent food. You can go get that L.A. vibe—open air, chilled. It's really good for groups—if eight of us meet there, three of us can get Loteria, then there's a Singaporean spot, a Malaysian spot, Brazilian…there's everything there, it's all good, and there's a bar. A perfect place to meet after work or when you have a bunch of friends. They have really good doughnuts, too. Even the pizza's good (for L.A.).

Wishaw defender O'Donnell lifts the lid on Steve Clarke's mixed start to Scotland tenure
The former St Aidan's High pupil spoke exclusively to the Wishaw Press about Steve Clarke's first games in charge.

Wishaw footballer Stephen O'Donnell is sure that Scotland are on the road to a major tournament again - thanks to new boss Steve Clarke.
The former St Aidan's High pupil picked up his eight and ninth Scotland caps as his former club boss Clarke kicked off his tenure in charge of the national team with a win against Cyprus and a 3-0 loss away to the world's number one ranked side Belgium.
The 27-year-old believes the country have got the right man in charge and is certain his intensity on the training ground will bear fruit for his country on the pitch.
Speaking exclusively to the Wishaw Press, O'Donnell said: "I was disappointed when the old manager left as he had shown faith in me but when Steve Clarke got the job I was delighted.
"I had been part of his side and he managed to get the best out of me for two seasons. I was delighted to get the nod for the Cyprus game and was pleased to be part of his first win.
O'Donnell celebrates Scotland's late win over Cyprus (Image: SNS Group)
"The training has been pretty intense and he's tried to drill into us a defensive structure which hopefully everyone started to see over the two games.
"It will take time for us all to get to grips with the style, but I'm sure we will."
Promising Wishaw goalkeeper signs first professional contract with Motherwell
The Kilmarnock defender admitted the game against Belgium was one of the toughest of his career so far, coming up against world class stars Eden Hazard, Kevin de Bruyne and Romelu Lukaka in a star-studded Belgium line-up.
He felt Scotland did well until Lukaku's opener just before half-time, which knocked the stuffing out of the visitors after a strong opening display.
He said: "Obviously it was good to test myself against the best players in the world, but we didn't get a result so that leaves the experience with some disappointment.
"Half time is always a horrible time to concede.
"We felt we just had to go out and put in a similar display and hopefully take one of our chances.
"Unfortunately we conceded again and then it becomes an even bigger task to get back into the game."

O'Donnell is certain the opening tests of Clarke's Scotland career stands them in good stead for their crunch qualifiers against Russia and Belgium in September - both at Hampden - which will go a long way to deciding the fate of this European Championships qualifying campaign.

He added: "It's certainly two massive games coming up and both will be very difficult.
"But if the fans come and help us make it difficult for both teams hopefully it can be a very important few matches within the group.
"I've not set a target in terms of the amount of caps I hope to achieve. I'm just enjoying being involved and hopefully it continues for as long as possible."

Dickson "Doc" Hendley, founder of Wine to Water, to Speak at Walden University Academic Residency
Walden News
Minneapolis—October 9, 2014—Dickson "Doc" Hendley, founder of Wine to Water, an American nonprofit organization dedicated to providing clean water and sanitation to people around the world, will address more than 600 doctoral students at Walden University's academic residency on Oct. 11, 2014, at the Sheraton Atlanta. To date, the organization Hendley envisioned in 2003 has provided clean water and sanitation to more than 250,000 people in 17 countries.
Hendley is proof positive of how the efforts of one person can truly make a difference. A self-proclaimed "tattooed keg tapper" who loved his Harley, music and liquor, he did not set out to be a hero. Upon learning about the world's water crisis, his idea was to hold benefit wine events and then use the proceeds to help support water projects around the world. He has taken personal risks to provide water and clean water education in disparate locations around the globe—including Darfur, Sudan, and many of the United Nations' dangerous "no-go" zones.
In 2009, he was selected as a Top 10 CNN Hero—chosen from more than 9,000 applicants by a panel of judges that included Gen. Colin Powell, Whoopi Goldberg and Sir Elton John. Hendley's book, Wine to Water, chronicles his incredible journey through far-flung regions of the world as he discovers and pursues his passions.
Academic residencies at Walden support students' academic and professional goals by connecting them with individual faculty mentors, student support staff and hundreds of peers. During academic residencies, students from all doctoral and select master's degree programs have the opportunity to conceptualize and develop research that contributes to positive social change.
Walden's plenary sessions are an integral part of the residencies and are led by speakers from around the world who share their experiences and viewpoints to inspire insightful debate and lively conversation. These sessions are intended to provide Walden students and faculty and staff members with the opportunity to hear perspectives on a variety of topics that are meaningful and relevant to their lives as both scholars and practitioners. For more information about Walden University, visit www.WaldenU.edu.
About Walden University

Does haymitch care about Katniss?
Haymitch cared about both of them equally, but had a soft spot for Katniss because he liked her "spark".
Did Annie Cresta die?
Annie Cresta and the 70th Hunger Games Annie was victor during the 70th Hunger Games, during which she witnessed the other tribute from her District being beheaded, went insane and only won after a dam flooded the arena and killed all the other contestants.
How did Annie go crazy in The Hunger Games?
She went mad when she witnessed her district partner beheaded, and she went into hiding after that. An earthquake occurred in the games, and that earthquake caused a series of floods, and, being from District 4, Annie ended up winning because of her superior swimming abilities.
What is the relationship between Katniss and Haymitch?
Her Relationship With Haymitch From the very beginning, the hostility between Katniss and Haymitch is obviously hostile. Haymitch's heavy drinking may have something to do with Katniss's lack of trust in her mentor, but his obvious appreciation of Peeta also stands in the way of their relationship.
Why did Katniss dump Gale?
Gale betrayed Katniss in the same way as she betrayed him. They had made a pact saying that if one of them got captured the other one would shoot them and kill them.
How did Gale die in hunger games?
After almost dying from a trap activated by a pod, Gale is taken away by peacekeepers. As he is being taken away, he mouths at Katniss "shoot me." She finds herself unable to do it, just as he is unable to kill her after the assassination of President Coin.
How does Katniss's early encounter with Peeta affect their relationship after they are chosen as tributes?
How does Katniss's early encounter with Peeta affect their relationship when they are chosen as tributes? She feels like she owes him something for giving her the bread. Katniss plays her part in the story to help her survive, but she worries about what people at home will think.

Exercise Keeps the Brain Flexible
Exercise could make all areas of your brain better able to learn, heal and change, suggests new research.
What if exercise could make all areas of your brain better able to learn, heal and change - in a sense, younger?
A small study published today published in the journal Current Biology suggests that it might do just that.
Previous research has shown that exercise may improve how the brain operates in high-level brain functions such as memory and thinking skills, areas that remain flexible throughout life. But the new study shows that exercise may even be able to impact how the brain works in low-level areas, previously considered hard-wired in adults.
How You Can Be Fit But Not Healthy
"We are the first to show that physical exercise can promote plasticity in a sensory cortex, in our case the visual cortex," said study co-author Claudia Lunghi of the University of Pisa in Italy. It was thought that the visual cortex "only worked with visual information, but [it appears that] physical activity can enhance it."
Co-author Alessandro Sale, a research scientist at the Institute of Neuroscience of Italy's National Research Council, first noted the effect in animals, showing that rats who ran on a wheel could recover better from amblyopia, or lazy eye, than those who were sedentary.
Still, when he and Lunghi got together to try it out in humans, they weren't optimistic, given that the visual cortex in humans is thought to lose its flexibility quickly as we age (that's why people with a lazy eye, for example, are often told they can't be treated in adulthood).
Exercise Plus Fasting May Boost Brain's Neurons
So when the first several people they asked to perform a simple visual test after cycling on and off for two hours with one eye patched did markedly better than they did when they watched a movie with an eye patched, they were surprised – especially since the level of exercise was moderate, comparable to walking pace.
Their excitement grew as they watched the vast majority of the cyclists (over 95 percent) perform better after cycling.
"This is the magic when an experiment works well," Sale said. "I was surprised about the efficacy of the protocol, which turned out to dramatically boost plasticity even when applied for a short time period...Here we are in the domain of brain rejuvenation, something more relevant for possible therapeutic applications."
Want to Lose Weight? Skip These Diets
While the findings were so striking that the researchers rushed to test the method on people with lazy eye, the implications may go far beyond treating one specific eye condition.
"This elegant demonstration by Lunghi and Sale provides evidence that the benefits of exercise on brain plasticity are far reaching, and raises the question of whether exercise should be included in therapeutic regimes," said Dr. Holly Bridge, who studies vision and the brain at Oxford University and was not involved in the current study.
Someone with a traumatic brain injury, for example, could benefit from therapies designed to take advantage of that plasticity by remolding injured areas of the brain.
And even healthy people likely benefit, the researchers said.
"A brain that is plastic again is like a younger brain," Lunghi said.
Optical illusions may seem like nothing more than visual trickery. But they are actually a result of our brains trying to predict the future.
When light hits our retina, it takes about one-tenth of a second for our brain to translate that signal into perception. Evolutionary neurobiologist Mark Changizi says this neural delay makes our brains generate images of what it thinks the world will look like in one-tenth of a second. It's not always right.
"Your brain is slow, so you need to basically create perceptions that correct for that delay," said Changizi, director of human cognition at 2AI Labs.
Creating an image of the very near future probably kept early humans alive because it kept them from bumping into dangerous objects or being attacked by a fast-moving predator.
Click through the following images and see how our ability to predict the future one-tenth of second in advance also messes with your mind.
When images of objects flow across the retina, it activates all these different neurons in our brains. This is the mechanism by which the brain figures out how to extrapolate the next moment.
"When you move through the world, your eyes take snapshots," said Chingazi. "During that snapshot, as something moves across your visual field, you don't just end up with a dot on your retina, you end up with a blurred line on your retina."
Our perception doesn't see them, but the blurred lines make our brains realize that something is in motion. From there we can determine the direction of an object moving in our world. Since the blurred lines are all emanating from a single point in your visual field, they can inform you on the direction you're going.
"Once you know the direction you're going, you can determine how all these things would change in the next moment," said Chingazi.
Take the above photo of "warp speed." You don't even have to question in what direction those blurred lines are taking you. Little did you know, "Blurred Lines" is more than just the most over-hyped song of the summer.

Perhaps the best representation of blurred lines and how they apply to optical illusions is the Hering illusion. Its radial spokes are blurred lines, all emanating from a single point. Those lines tell us where we are heading: forwards, towards the center.
The reason the two vertical lines appear to bow in the middle is because the radial lines suck our field of vision towards the center, as if we were in motion. In fact, those vertical lines are parallel, despite what our brain tells us. Our perception is actually showing us what those parallel lines look like in the next tenth of a second, the moment our gaze "passes through" the vertical lines, towards the vanishing point of the radial lines.
To simplify things, Chingazi suggests we imagine walking through a very tall doorway of a cathedral. When we're really far away, the doorway sides seem parallel to one another. The angular distance between the top, middle and bottom of the door are all roughly the same.
"Once you're really close or going through the cathedral doorway, the parts at eye-level are going to be wider apart," he said. "When you look up, they actually converge like railroad tracks in the sky."
Essentially, this is the same phenomenon that happens in the Hering illusion.
GRAND UNIFIED THEORY
Shapes aren't the only objects that change as we move forward. Other factors like angular size -- how much of our visual field is taken up by an object – speed, distance and the color contrast between an object and its background also contribute to optical illusions.
Changizi determined that many illusions can be defined within his future-seeing process, so he created a chart with 28 categories that help organize what he calls his "grand unified theory."
"This seven-by-four table really has one hypothesis that explains them all," he said. "It makes a prediction across these 28 categories about what kind of illusions you should expect and how the illusions will reveal themselves across these 28 kinds of stimuli."
The above illusion was created by a former student of Chingizi's, and it demonstrates elements of speed, size and contrast. Move your head towards the center and the bright-white center appears to quickly fill the circle. Move your head backward and the dark perimeter appears to close in on the white center.
EBBINGHAUS
The orange circle on the left appears much smaller than the one on the right, when in fact they are the same size. This is the classic Ebbinghaus illusion, named after Hermann Ebbinghaus, the German psychologist who discovered it. British psychologist Edward Titchener popularized the illusion in the early 20th Century, as the illusion is also known as "Titchener circles."
The juxtaposition of the circles' sizes and distance from each other make them appear incongruent.
It's time to play magician and make the pink splotches disappear. Stare at the cross in the center of the image and before you know it, you have a completely gray rectangle.
If we fixate on one single point, we tend to keep our eyes still. Those blurry pink orbs are now on the periphery of our visual field and tend to disappear because we're zeroing in on the cross. Despite being physically present, the pink smudges do not stimulate our neurons enough to maintain visual perception. The phenomenon is known as "Troxler's fading," discovered by Swiss physician Ignaz Paul Vital Troxler in 1804.
Although the pink dots are static, they're actually a part of an animated illusion called the "Lilac Chaser," created by Jeremy Hinton around 2005. In that illusion, a green dot seemingly "eats" the other dots in a clock-wise fashion, thus it's sometimes known as the "Pac-Man" illusion.
CAFE WALL ILLUSION
This illusion is attributed to British psychologist Richard Gregory. Legend has it that his lab assistant saw this illusion in the wall tiles at a cafe in Bristol. The black and white pattern was offset by a half a tile, causing the illusion to appear.
Though they appear to be at an angular pitch, the horizontal lines are parallel. Distance and contrast are two operating variables in this illusion.
Interested in seeing the tiles at the original Bristol location? The cafe is still there, but it's reportedly closed. However, curious trekkers can find it at the bottom of St. Michael's Hill.
ROTATING SNAKES
So-called peripheral drift illusions, such as Japanese psychology professor Akiyoshi Kitaoka's "Rotating Snakes," are motion illusions that occur in our visual periphery. These illusions work best when you look off to the side of the image.
Earlier studies of the "Rotating Snakes" suggested that perceived motion was triggered by eyes moving slowly across the images. But a 2012 study, led by neuroscientist Susana Martinez-Conde, showed that fast eye movement, some of which is microscopic, drive the perceived motion.
SCINTILLATING GRID
The scintillating grid is an illusion created by superimposing white dots at the intersection of gray lines on a black background. Dark dots seem to appear and disappear at the intersections, and jump around the grid, thus the term "scintillating."
Trying to pin down one of the black dots with your gaze is like playing a hands-free version of Wack-a-Mole, as the dark spots only appear in your periphery.
CONTRASTING RECTANGLES
One of the clearest examples of how sharp, black-and-white contrast effects the gray scale can be seen in the image above.
The gray bars between the black stripes appear darker than the gray bars between the white strips. However, the gray bars are the same shade. Chingizi's "grand unified theory" states the higher the contrasts nearby an object, the lower in contrast that object will appear.
3-D CHALK DRAWINGS
Lady, look out for that giant snail, it's about to attack! Oh wait, shwoo, it's only one of Julian Beever's pavement drawings.
The English artist and renowned darling of gotta-see Internet pics has been taking to streets and sidewalks all across the world since the mid 1990's. He employs a projection technique called anamorphosis to give the illusion that his drawings are three dimensional when viewed from a certain angle.
3-D CHALK DRAWINGS, AGAIN
Shoppers in Camberley, England, got a glimpse of Santa in his snowy underground grotto courtesy of Julian Beever's amazing 3-D street art.
SPECKLED CORKSCREW
While this image looks like a model of the future's coolest water slide, it's artist Anh Pham's version of a peripheral drift illusion.
Concentrate on one of the pink spots and you may be able to stop that ring from moving, but it's a different story in your visual periphery. Good luck tearing yourself away from this one.
PERSPECTIVE CHAIR
Go to any tourist destination in the world that has an iconic structure, such as the Eiffle Tour, the Taj Mahal or the Washington Monument, and you'll find tons of fanny-packed shutter bugs creating their own optical illusions. Because objects in the distance appear smaller, altering your perception angle can make it seem like the Eiffle Tour is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Or that you can push against the Leaning Tower of Pisa to keep it from falling over.
As the above couple demonstrates with the incredible-shrinking-man illusion, altering your perspective can drastically change your perception.

"The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire."
Just as an aside, USAF C130'S, C17A and think USAF KC10'S now plot on SBS. You can also add Navy and Marine C130's now show as plotting..
LH-B744
Do we talk about all variants of the KC135?
I mean, I am interested in jets who are as old as me. Four engines is not a disadvantage. So I fed the search engine with the word KC135. Et voila.
Inaugurated August 1956, that's the KC-135A . But that's not the jet that appears on top of the KC-135 de wiki:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_KC-135
Without that I read the text below that photo, I had said, that does not seem like a 737-100, i.e. not like an a/c which is so much older than me. The text below that photo is, after I translated it:
One KC-135R, operated by the 'United States Air Forces in Europe'.
Photo upload December 2006.
What I understand is, the KC-135R is older than my nickname, inaugurated 1984.
And even the KC-135A with that four '737-100 look alike' engines today in the year 2021 is able to appear on a flightradar website which is open for really everybody on this planet?
Before I am hated again due to my use of a different language other than English, let me translate the KC-135 de wiki again:
'In the USAF, jets of the a/c type KC-135 with an average age of more than 50 years are the oldest jets still active in the USAF,
together with the Boeing B-52.'
Well, that is a sign of hope, isn't it. Even in aviation, you can become 50 years old, and that's not yet the end... ..
PS: An a/c type which is active since at least 1979, and which has been constantly modernized since then? Well, let me think about it for 15 minutes.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing...glet_Study.jpg
I have not yet seen the cockpit of a KC-135R, but I know that my nickname flies with fmc and upper EICAS since 1989.
Last edited by LH-B744; 2021-06-24, 23:15. Reason: 1979? I love jetphotos from that year.
The German long haul is alive, since more than 60 years.
The Gold Member in the 747 club, 50 years since the first LH 747.
And constantly advanced, 744 and 748 /w upper and lower EICAS.
This is Lohausen International airport speaking, echo delta delta lima.
I was in love with the KC-10 a DC-10 but changed to become a military tanker.
It was funny to see the photos of the boom below the third engine on the tail.
We will see what is going to happen with Boeing 767 tanker

Q: How do I show virtual tree-view grid lines for nodes that don't exist yet? I use SoftGem's VirtualStringTree in Delphi 7.
Is there a way to enable full grid lines (just as in a TListView)? I can only find toShowHorzGridLines, which only shows lines for current nodes, not anything in the empty space below, and toShowVertGridLines, which shows only vertical lines.
How do I show them in the empty space before items are added?

A: I don't think there is an easy way to implement this without modifying PaintTree method since none of the node events cannot be fired because nodes whose lines should be drawn simply doesn't exist yet.
Here is an dirty way how to additionally draw the horizontal lines based on the lowest visible node. In fact it draws lines with distance of the DefaultNodeHeight value in the area filled by orange color in this screenshot:

Here is the code:
type
  TVirtualStringTree = class(VirtualTrees.TVirtualStringTree)
  public
    procedure PaintTree(TargetCanvas: TCanvas; Window: TRect; Target: TPoint;
      PaintOptions: TVTInternalPaintOptions; PixelFormat: TPixelFormat = pfDevice); override;
  end;

implementation

{ TVirtualStringTree }

procedure TVirtualStringTree.PaintTree(TargetCanvas: TCanvas; Window: TRect;
  Target: TPoint; PaintOptions: TVTInternalPaintOptions;
  PixelFormat: TPixelFormat);
var
  I: Integer;
  EmptyRect: TRect;
  PaintInfo: TVTPaintInfo;
begin
  inherited;
  if (poGridLines in PaintOptions) and (toShowHorzGridLines in TreeOptions.PaintOptions) and
    (GetLastVisible <> nil) then
  begin
    EmptyRect := GetDisplayRect(GetLastVisible,
      Header.Columns[Header.Columns.GetLastVisibleColumn].Index, False);
    EmptyRect := Rect(ClientRect.Left, EmptyRect.Bottom + DefaultNodeHeight,
      EmptyRect.Right, ClientRect.Bottom);
    ZeroMemory(@PaintInfo, SizeOf(PaintInfo));
    PaintInfo.Canvas := TargetCanvas;
    for I := 0 to ((EmptyRect.Bottom - EmptyRect.Top) div DefaultNodeHeight) do
    begin
      PaintInfo.Canvas.Font.Color := Colors.GridLineColor;
      DrawDottedHLine(PaintInfo, EmptyRect.Left, EmptyRect.Right,
        EmptyRect.Top + (I * DefaultNodeHeight));
    end;
  end;
end;

And here the result with constant and variable node height:

The glitch (the lines shifted from the left side) visible on the screenshot above is just a consequence of a dotted line rendering. If you set the LineStyle property on your virtual tree view to lsSolid you will see the correct result.

All Articles, Craft, Film, How-To Guides
An essential principle not only to screenwriting but also the wider fundamentals of storytelling, plants and payoffs are one of the most effective ways of involving the audience and embedding clever twists, turns, and surprises throughout your screenplay.
Premised upon the notion that any element introduced into a script must later prove significant, plants and payoffs exploit the human tendency to make mistakes, overlook details, and misconstrue information. In doing so, they also succeed in tapping into our desire to prove ourselves right and make logical connections.
In short – if you are going to draw attention to something, make it matter. The concept works to endow even the smallest details of your film with greater purpose, encouraging the audience to pay attention and make connections.
For such a simple concept, plants and payoffs have unrivalled implications for a screenplay's success. So let's take a look at exactly what they mean and how to implement them in your own screenplay.
What Are Plants and Payoffs?
Why Do We Need Plants and Payoffs?
How Do You Set Up a Payoff?
Examples of Plant and Payoff
The Voyeurs
Plants and payoffs are all about planting seeds for the audience. Seeds that will eventually have sprouted into a meaningful idea or concept.
Plants are kind of like hidden pointers for the audience, subtle hints that allow us to make assumptions about forthcoming events or clues to look back on when they later emerge as crucial to the plot.
Whether it be a line of dialogue, an object, a character trait, or an action, a plant is any element that will later be returned to.
Any detail introduced into a script must have wider implications for the plot or its characters. If a writer can effectively implement plants and payoffs, details introduced at the beginning of a film/scene will later have garnered greater significance and changed meaning in some way.
This is similar to Chekhov's gun. This concept emerges from Anton Chekhov's dramatic principle that every element introduced into a story must be necessary.
"If in the first act you have hung a pistol on the wall, then in the following one it should be fired. Otherwise don't put it there."
In addition, plants and payoffs are similar to foreshadowing. However, typically they are more essentially tied up with the story than a moment of foreshadowing will be. Foreshadowing can seed something thematically into the story. Plants and payoffs, meanwhile, are more to do with the balance of the story overall.
To Connect With The Audience
The most important element of plants and payoffs is the way they work to involve the audience. They make it the audience's job to recognise the significance of passing details and make meaningful connections. In turn, the audience will feel seen and appreciated.
The best and most effective writers will make the audience feel clever for having spotted the plant earlier in the film. If a writer introduces a detail that has no bearing on the plot, they are making false promises to their audience.
The craftiest, most successful payoffs will have your audience shouting, "I knew it!", "It was there the whole time". There are few things more satisfying.
To Avoid Coincidences
Without effective plants and payoffs, a film is liable to be over-reliant on coincidences. Actions and events will seem random or inconsequential and the audience will likely become frustrated by the need to suspend their disbelief.
The audience is more likely to be convinced by unusual, strange or implausible events if they are foreshadowed or set up in some way earlier in the film.
To Sow Consistent Storytelling
Good storytelling is about consistency and focus. And plants and payoffs are a perfect example of such attributes.
Plants and payoffs are about running threads throughout a story. It's the asking of a question and providing of the answer. And this shows commitment to the plot and/or themes on the writer's part.
It demonstrates that the writer isn't thinking and writing from moment to moment and is instead, thinking of the story as a cohesive whole. And this is where storytelling is at its most satisfying, when as an audience you can sit back and feel safe in the writer's hands, which guide you cohesively and convincingly.
1. Pay Attention to Character Details
Whether this be their likes, dislikes, an object in their home, a childhood memory, or a physical attribute, it is important that any information we are given about a character must be consequential in some way.
Then, in a later scene, re-introduce this detail, demonstrating its significance by having imbued it with new information that serves to complicate our understanding of the character and strengthen their character development.
2. Avoid Hollow Information
Do not introduce an object into a scene if you cannot prove its value. Even more importantly, do not draw attention to something if you cannot prove its value. If you are going to spend any great amount of time discussing a minor detail, its significance must be realised later in the film.
This will make you question every shift of perspective you include. If a character is paying attention to something in particular, the why of them doing so must be purposeful, if not completely clear in that exact moment.
3. Don't Be Afraid to Break the Rules
Feel free to introduce details that will throw off the audience. Turn plants on their head. Present payoffs that surprise or shock. This will allow for effective plot twists and convincing, unexpected events.
It is often most rewarding for the audience when met with a payoff that they could not have foreseen. When they look back and recognise the plant, they will come to realise how they overlooked or misinterpreted its significance. Get them yelling, "I can't believe I missed it!".
Again, this is about making sure that the eventual answer makes sense, even if the question posed initially via the plant is confusing at the time. The audience may be baffled by a focus on a particular object, for example. It might be a strange object that throws the audience off. But if later you can justify this inclusion convincingly, all will make sense.
It's all about giving everything you include meaning and purpose to the story and not, for example, throwing the audience off for the sake of it.
4. Avoid Coincidences
Plants and payoffs are what make your story plausible. If an action or event has not been set up earlier in the film, you are relying on chance and coincidence to move from one sequence to the next.
There is nothing more taxing than an action or event that has appeared completely out of nowhere. All of a sudden, we have lost faith in the film's authority and can no longer attest to its credibility.
This can be easily avoided by planting crumbs in the lead up to an unusual or outlandish event. If a character is going to set fire to a room, for example, have the matchstick or propensity towards fire be alluded to in an earlier scene.
5. Scatter Throughout
By no means must a plant and playoff span the whole course of a film. A plant doesn't need to appear in Act 1 and be paid off in Act 3. Plants and payoffs can be briefer, more minute details, confined to a single scene, sequence, or conversation.
To plant something in Act 1 and have it pay off in Act 3 makes the most sense narratively speaking. This is because it mirrors the structure of the film as a whole, with the setup coming in Act 1 and the payoff coming in Act 3, with the struggle for the outcome occurring in Act 2.
However, that doesn't mean that plants and payoffs aren't valuable elsewhere. In fact, they can be vital in setting up and maintaining subplots running alongside the main narrative arc.
We've put together a few examples of different plants and payoffs in films.
*Due to the nature of plants and payoffs, this section contains spoilers…
One of the Coen brothers' earliest, most absurd films, Raising Arizona masters the art of using plants and payoffs to achieve a convincing comedic-farce.
In H.I.'s dream from hell, he has a vision of Leonard Smalls, the bounty hunter, raising fury on nature as he rides furiously on his motorcycle through the Arizona desert.
Tearing along the highway, we get a close up of multiple hand grenades attached to Small's motorcycle jacket.
He then proceeds to pull out the pin from one of the grenades with his mouth, throw it onto the side of the road, and blow up an innocent bunny rabbit. Plant.
At the close of the film, H.I. and Smalls are engaged in a fight to the death.
Unbeknown to the audience, H.I. cleverly removes the pin from a grenade on Smalls' jacket.
Pan to H.I., cowering away from Smalls, clutching a grenade pin. Smalls erupts in a cloud of smoke and fire.
Killed by his own grenade. Payoff.
Raising Arizona (2/5) Movie CLIP - A Vision From Hell (1987) HD
H.I.'s woodpecker tattoo.
First shown in a clip of H.I. with his prison gang, sleeves rolled up, tattoo on display, the tattoo is symbolic of H.I.'s role in a criminal gang.
The tattoo pokes out from H.I.'s shirt across the course of the film and is often most visible in scenes with his fellow criminals.
It is during his final fight scene, however, when the woodpecker acquires its greatest significance.
Born across the chest of Leonard Smalls, there we see it, H.I.'s tattoo. Payoff.
H.I. and Smalls are cut from the same cloth. Upon realising, H.I. appears almost guilty. But only almost.
The payoff relies on the audience having noticed H.I.'s tattoo and determined its accompanying significance.
Jordan Peele's nail-biting horror, Get Out, scatters plants and payoffs throughout, using each set-up to create suspense and keep the audience guessing. The result is an uncanny film that has the audience constantly seeking out clues.
Trapped in the games room, Chris notices some loose cotton stuffing in the arm of the chair. Plant.
In the following scene, after an attendee has unbuckled Chris's arms ties, expecting him to be unconscious from the hypnosis, we see Chris standing behind the attendee, fully awake, ready to make his escape. After knocking out the attendee, Chris pulls the stuffing from inside his ears. He used it to block out the sound that induces his hypnosis. Payoff.
This is a clever example of a plant that is set up and paid off within a single sequence and a great opportunity for the audience to predict the outcome of events before they are fully paid off.
Get Out (2017) - Saved by Cotton Scene (8/10) | Movieclips
Chris and his girlfriend, Rose, hit a deer in the road on the way to Rose's parent's house. Plant
Proudly hung on the wall of the family games room: the head of a deer. An eagle-eyed viewer will recognise the predator/prey metaphor. Payoff.
Chris is a smoker. Plant
Chris has cause for hypnosis. Payoff
This is a simpler example of the ways in which basic character traits can have meaningful consequences and help propel the plot. Every narrative and character choice has meaning and purpose, therefore giving every plant a satisfying payoff.
A salacious ode to Hitchcock and de Palma, The Voyeurs is premised upon the disturbing, twisted consequences of spying on the neighbours.
The Voyeurs - Official Trailer | Prime Video
In many respects, The Voyeurs works as an example of the ways in which plants and payoffs can sometimes be too easy or too obvious.
For example, at the beginning of the film, Thomas and Pippa move into a new apartment. Sitting down to their first meal, Thomas hands Pippa his drink for her to taste. Repulsed, Pippa pulls a disgusted face, grilling Thomas over its contents. "It's chlorophyll water, the secret to long life", Thomas mocks.
Later, in a turn of events, the neighbours poison Thomas. How you may ask? You guessed it! The chlorophyll water. In light of this payoff, Thomas's original line of dialogue turns out to be surprisingly clever. If only the plot twist itself carried this much weight.
Thomas is a musician.
When Pippa and Thomas require a means to listen in on their neighbours, Thomas has an array of sound equipment at his disposal. This doesn't feel quite such a naturalistic plant and payoff. Instead, it feels a little too coincidental.
Why? Well, it doesn't make Thomas a character susceptible to the plot's developments (like Chris in Get Out with his smoking). Instead, it sets him up as a character perfectly suited to take advantage of the situation. So in part, he's not vulnerable, he's well-positioned. And secondly, being a musician is not a part of his character in a deep emotional sense. It's only a part of his character in outline.
Pippa is an ophthalmologist.
Pippa uses her visual equipment to blind her neighbours at the close of the film.
Again, this example treads a fine line between plant and payoff and lucky coincidence. In a film premised entirely on the concept of vision, Pippa's occupation seems all too convenient.
Plants and Payoffs: In Conclusion
The most provocative, interesting films will implement plants and payoffs in ways that are shrewd, surreptitious and challenging for the audience.
They will set things up that often feel strange or inconsequential at first but later will reveal as key factors in the plot. This isn't about setting up the story too perfectly so that everything falls in to place. It's about giving your choices meaning in a subtle manner.
In order to make things not feel coincidental, the plants have to feel a like a realistic part of the story at the time they are planted, even if they don't make immediate sense. The plant and payoff have to be intrinsically linked in this sense. In other words, don't set up a plant and then search for the payoff. The plant and payoff have to come together, then be separated by the narrative development.
Plants and payoffs are a key part of effective storytelling. And they always come down to the justification for your story and justification for the choices you make throughout your screenplay. When everything feels cohesive and purposeful plants and payoffs can be one of the most satisfying parts of the screenwriting and viewing process.
What is Plant and Payoff in Screenwriting?
Plants and payoffs are all about planting seeds for the audience. It's about posing a question and following it up with an answer later on in the story.
What Makes a Good Plant?
A good plant is often one that seems out of place and confusing on first appearance. A great plant will typically be something that throws the audience off and seems out of place in that moment of the narrative. This way, it doesn't seem like an obvious set-up for something that will happen later on but instead, an intriguing pull in to the story at that point.
What Makes a Good Payoff?
The key to a good payoff is to layer it into the most pivotal part of the story or a part of the story where it can serve as the most meaningful. Moreover, a convincing payoff will feel intrinsically tied to the plant. A plant and payoff must come hand in hand in this sense, conceived together rather than the payoff coming after the fact of the plant.

FINRA Rule 2273 requires broker-dealers to send "educational communication" to former customers of registered representatives
Effective November 11, 2016, FINRA Rule 2273 (Educational Communication Related to Recruitment Practices and Account Transfers) requires members to deliver "Educational Communication" to former customers of registered persons they hire or associate with. This rule was implemented to inform customers of costs they may incur by following their registered representative to his or her new firm.[1]
Pursuant to FINRA Rule 2273, "A member that hires or associates with a registered person shall provide to a former customer of the registered person, individually, in paper or electronic form, an educational communication prepared by FINRA when (1) the member, directly or through that registered person, individually contacts the former customer of that registered person to transfer assets or (2) the former customer of that registered person, absent individualized contact, transfers assets to an account assigned, or to be assigned, to the registered person at the member."[2]
FINRA's new rule requiring broker-dealers to send "Educational Communication" to former clients of new recruits they hire.
who is a "former customer"?
A "former customer" includes any customer that had a securities account assigned to a registered person at the representative's previous firm. An exception exists for "institutional accounts,"[3] unless the "institutional account" is held by a natural person.
When does it apply?
Educational Communication must be sent in two main scenarios:[4]
(1) - When the firm, directly or through a representative, individually contacts a former customer of that representative to transfer assets.
(2) - When a former customer of the representative, absent individual contact, transfer assets to an account assigned, or to be assigned, to the representative of the firm.
Additionally, the following occurrences would trigger the Educational Communication requirement, including but not limited to:
Informing the former customer that he or she is now associated with the recruiting firm
Suggesting that the former customer consider transferring his or her assets or account to the recruiting firm
Informing the former customer that the recruiting firm may offer better or different products or services
Discussing with the former customer the fee or pricing structure of the recruiting firm.
Oral or written communications to a group of former customers including (but not limited to): mass mailings of information, sending copies of information via email, or automated phone calls or voicemails.[5]
timing & method of delivery
A firm is required to deliver Educational Communication at the time of first individualized contact with a former customer by the firm, directly or through the representative, regarding the former customer transferring assets to the firm. The delivery shall apply for a period of three months following the date the registered person begins employment or associates with the member.
If such contact is in writing[6] the Educational Communication must be sent contemporaneously with the writing. If contact is by electronic communication, [7] a firm may hyperlink directly to the Educational Communication. If contact is oral,[8] the firm or representative must notify the former customer that an Educational Communication that includes important considerations deciding whether to transfer assets to the firm will be provided not later than three business days after the contact. Accordingly, the Educational Communication must then be sent within three business days from such oral contract or with any other documentation sent to the former customer related to transferring assets to the firm, whichever is earlier.
who drafts the educational communication?
Luckily in order to minimize the burden on firms, FINRA has already drafted a stock form, which could be found on its website.
express rejection by a former customer negates the obligation
If the former customer expressly states that they are not interested in transferring their assets to the new firm (i.e., not interested in following their current broker to the new firm) the Educational Communication requirement is not applicable.[9] However, if the customer later decides to transfer their assets to the new firm without further individualized contact within the period of three months following the date the representative begins his or her employment or associates with the firm, then the educational communication is required to be provided with the account transfer approval documentation.

The ketogenic diet aims to reduce carbohydrates and increase the consumption of fats and proteins, thus, a condition called ketosis occurs. This happens due to the breakdown of fats for energy; in normal conditions, it is obtained from carbohydrates. It is appropriate that this diet is made by the hand of a nutritionist so that it will be a balanced diet and you will not suffer and control ketosis, which occurs by releasing ketones.
In a ketogenic diet, carbohydrates should be severely restricted; however, they cannot be completely eliminated. Other nutrients such as vitamins and minerals in carbohydrate-rich foods would be limited. Therefore, you must choose the products to eat with a nutrition balance.
To induce the body to the state of ketosis, similar to that occurs during fasting, body is supplied with a smaller amount of 30 grams of carbohydrates per day. However, you must not forget that it also depends on the activity of the individuals and of their protein intake. Therefore, you must analyze individually how much carbohydrate you can eat to avoid interruption of ketosis.
The vegetables are the best sources of carbohydrates with a low glycemic index and are allowed in a ketogenic diet. However, fruits and starches must be removed.
The contribution of protein is important in a ketogenic diet. Thus, muscle loss will be avoided. However, it should be well worth not to interrupt the process of ketosis.
The amount of protein will also be determined by physical activity of the person. For example, individuals who perform more exercise will require a greater protein contribution.
Weight and height must also be determined. Therefore, it is insisted that well controlled ketogenic diet must be in the hands of an expert.
Generally, about 150 grams of animal protein are recommended as they provide high quality protein.
In the original ketogenic diet, fats are the main source of power and energy. The drawback is that it increases the level of bad cholesterol and runs to make a high intake of foods rich in fats. Therefore, experts of Weight Destroyer Review program point out that these recommendations should be intended only to treat health problems. However, it is not advisable if the only goal is to lose weight.
If you intent to follow ketogenic diet for weight loss, it is highly advisable that you take consultation of a medical expert for the best results and avoidance of any health issues.


1. An application of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) tells us that the current proposals for a Green New Deal in the US and elsewhere will lead to crowding out of other investment.
2. A rising government deficit will always allow the private domestic sector to increase its saving in nominal terms.
3. A lack of a close correspondence between the growth of bank reserves and the growth in the stock of money is evidence that credit creation is being tightly constrained.
Sorry to hijack the comments section of something unrelated to this, but I've been kicking an idea around in my head for a while.
It seems to me that the money supply should be tied to the resource base. When commodities are cheap, there is no reason not to expand the money supply, as far as I understand it. A massive increase in the supply of oil, copper, iron, etc means that there are resources available to be consumed or refined into products. When commodities are in bubble territory, and supplies are low, expansion of the money supply seems to cause the economy to spin its wheels.
What if the federal reserve bought a certain supply of a basket of commodities all targeted to a specific price, using new money, and then sold those supplies off when prices of commodities rise too high? This could be done with a soft price target. For example, the soft target for oil could be $80 a barrel. When the price of oil falls below that level, the central bank could print new dollars to buy up those barrels of oil as the price sinks, accelerating buying the lower the price falls, with a hard floor of, let's just say, $50 a barrel. If the price rises above $80 a barrel, the central bank could start selling this oil, with a hard price ceiling target of $110 a barrel. When the central bank buys barrels of oil using newly printed money, they would be adding dollars to circulation, and when they sold oil, they'd be taking money out of circulation while also offsetting the low supply of oil.
1/3….oh dear. Clearly I need more nuanced understanding still…..
I obviously do not know what the proposals to the new green deal are.
Of course it is meant to crowd out pollution causing investment.
2 out of 3! No3 wrong. Better than last week's attack of neoliberalism!
A lack of a close correspondence between the growth of bank reserves and the growth in the stock of money is evidence that credit creation is being tightly constrained.
Assume that all private banks are expanding their loan portfolios such that there is little net transfer of reserves among them, and there is no increase in reserves from gov't spending. In this circumstance, wouldn't there be "A lack of a close correspondence between the growth of bank reserves and the growth in the stock of money" but no "evidence that credit creation is being tightly constrained" which would make the answer false?
I am not sure that the conceptual link to the overall money "supply" (really a stock) is helpful though, or trying to vary the stock of money to match the overall stock of copper+oil+wool+houses etc.
Seems very plausible to me.
Progressive Dems, like AOC, all or almost all know about MMT.
MMT says that deficit spending can't possibly crowd out private investment because it adds money to the economy, which is the opposite of what mainstream economists say it does.
So, no, AOC doesn't intend to crowd out any private investment.
