Our business simulations are used worldwide!
Oak Tree Simulations provides a family of simulations that helps players get first-hand experience running their own simulated business in a safe environment. They also develop the skills needed to successfully work in teams.
Find a simulation right for you! I want to get started!
Oak Tree Simulations produces a wide variety of business simulation games intended to teach business skills to undergraduate, graduate and corporate learners.
Research shows that learning by doing drives greater retention than any other teaching method. Add competition and gamification, and you have learning at its best.
Our simulations connect theoretical knowledge with real-world application. Confidence grows with each round motivated through friendly competition. What are you hoping for in your class?
Micromatic is designed for use in both graduate and undergraduate Strategic Management courses. Micromatic allows players to experience the kinds of issues that are involved in managing a small manufacturing operation.
Mogul CEO is targeted at introductory management courses. Using Mogul players learn the basic interactions between the marketing, operations, and finance functions of a business without being overwhelmed by excessive detail.
Maven is targeted at introductory marketing courses; players focus on selling their products through retail markets to the general public. Players learn the challenges of applying the marketing concepts to a business enterprise.
The following are just some of the institutions that use our simulations to enhance their players education and comprehension of business enterprises.
Maven is the perfect compliment to the textbook. Our 100 student class receives both individual and team based experience managing a business. Business theory comes alive when students work with the software. And, the back end tools and reports make classroom management and assessment a breeze - even with 100 students.
We use Micromatic as part of an integrated core class of the MBA program designed to pull together diverse concepts and tools students have been exposed to. We have a clear set of learning objectives for the module, but during the closing team presentations students time and again amaze me with additional unexpected insights and take-aways gained from the simulation. This attests to the richness of their experience working with Micromatic making it a valuable element of any business curriculum.
We have used Mogul since 2012 for all 3000 of our first year students. It is a great tool for integrating marketing, finance and operations taught in our across unviersity entrepreneurship course. Mogul has been well accepted by our students as a new way of self-directed and interactive teaching and learning. It truly improves the students' analytical skills and I can see the excitement of our students every time they run Mogul business simulation.
The Maven simulation is exactly what I need for my class. I have been extremely satisfied with the support provided to me by the Maven Simulation designers. I have been using Maven for years, and the designers have continually improved the simulation experience and interface over that time.
We have been using Maven for many years now. It has been an invaluable teaching tool for our capstone Marketing Strategies course designed specifically around the Maven platform. The real proof lies in what happens to the students over the course of a semester working with Maven. Some experience the jubilance of creating and executing a well thought out and strategically sound marketing strategy while others realize the ineffectiveness of a poor strategy. Either way, they all learn invaluable marketing lessons which could never have been learned in a traditional classroom. The simulation of a real-world business experience has a profound impact on our students.
The technical support provided by the Maven developers has been outstanding. Any questions that I have had about the simulation have been answered to my satisfaction in a timely manner.
Mogul is a great tool to teach students to make critical business decisions in real-time. My students love it because they get first-hand experience running their own simulated business in a safe environment using what they learned in their management, marketing, and finance classes. The students get to make key business decisions and see the impact those decisions had on their business immediately.
My colleagues and I are big fans of Micromatic. Every semester we watch students recognize the limitations of book knowledge as they manage their simulated business. As a team exercise, it also gives students leadership and team-building experience. Over 90% of students rate Micromatic as an excellent learning experience.
Since incorporating the simulation into our capstone strategic marketing course in 2005, our graduating students have consistently commented on the positive contribution the program has made to their learning experience. The new media tactics and the new online interface have enhanced the value Maven provides for our students.
As a two year community college we use Mogul as our capstone course for Management, Marketing, Finance and Accounting majors. It has proven to be a real challenge to students giving them the opportunity to work and learn in a simulated business environment.It provides a practical application and use of all of the various disciplines taught here including math and writing skills. Mogul allows students to ultimately see how the different aspects of a business come together. I highly recommend it!!
In subsequent courses, I have found myself making reference back to the Mogul experience, and students who had been through the simulation, understood exactly what I meant! Students who had been through the simulation brought the ability to think collectively, analyze data and move toward decision-making into concepts in different courses. I am working on the syllabus for next fall, and without a doubt Mogul will be a key part of the course!

Sam Altman's Worldcoin wants to scan eyeballs in exchange for crypto
It all starts with a 5-pound chromatic sphere called 'The Orb'
Lucas Matney @lucasmtny / 1 year
As investors race to capitalize on surging interest in cryptocurrencies, startups are getting creative in how they onboard a generation of crypto users to their first wallets.
Worldcoin is perhaps one of the most audacious efforts to bribe the world to embrace their currency. The startup, founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Alex Blania, wants to put a crypto wallet (and some of their currency) onto every human's smartphone, but in order to do so they have to build a way to determine whether someone is a unique human. Worldcoin is aiming to make their proof-of-personhood network in the least dystopian way possible. That being said, it still requires scanning a billion people's eyeballs with a five-pound chromatic sphere called "The Orb".

The internet has developed with a very amorphous mesh of user networks. Bot networks operate alongside real people using their real identities, alongside users impersonating real people, alongside pseudonymous users. This can be a recipe for misaligned user incentives, as modern social media platforms have showcased, but when it comes to finance it can also be a recipe for fraud and inequality. Worldcoin wants to avoid all of that while ensuring equitable distribution of their currency, ensuring that each human on earth only signs up for one wallet in their network.
Worldcoin CEO Alex Blania tells TechCrunch that the currency is part of a larger effort to drive a more unified and equitable global economy driven by the internet economy, something cryptocurrencies notably haven't nailed in their first several years.
"[Worldcoin] started with a discussion that universal basic income will eventually be something that is very important to the world, and in general, getting access to the internet economy will be much more important than is obvious at this point," Blania says.
The Worldcoin coin itself is a "Layer 2" Ethereum-based cryptocurrency that leverages the security of the Ethereum blockchain while having its own economy. Blania says Worldcoin chose to build on top of Ethereum largely because of its developer network, which he hopes will also adopt Worldcoin. While plenty of crypto proponents want Bitcoin to become most people's first exposure to cryptocurrencies, Blania sees too many scalability issues with the currency compared to an Ethereum Layer 2.
"Bitcoin isn't scalable to billions of people," Blania says. "As we see today, it's very expensive because transactions are slow."
In June, Bloomberg wrote up early details of the company's launch, which Blania notes was "pretty annoying," acknowledging that what Worldcoin is doing is a complicated process with plenty of intricacies but that he's confident his company will be able to communicate these to its global user base as it heads toward launch.
Speaking of which… The Orb?
The crypto startup has one of the more comically rigorous user acquisition flows, licensing their Orb cameras to contractors across the globe who manually go through the process of verifying each and every new user on the network in every city of every country on every continent of the globe.
In its most basic form, the company's proof-of-personhood onboarding flow works by capturing an image of a person's iris with the Orb, converting that image into a hash code (a process Worldcoin says can't be reversed), checking with a database to ensure that a hash associated with that iris hasn't already been uploaded, and, if it is unique, saving the hash while allowing users to generate a wallet in their app, from which the Orb scans a QR code. What this amounts to is a network of verified users that is tied to pseudonymous wallet codes rather than real names, and a database that is filled with hashes rather than actual eyeball photos, privacy efforts Blania hopes that Worldcoin can communicate clearly as it rapidly onboards users.

Blania says that on average contractors have been able to onboard over 700 users per Orb per week in early testing across four continents: South America, Asia, Africa and Europe. They currently have 30 prototype devices out in the field and hope to add hundreds more in the coming months, before ultimately shipping thousands of Orbs per month (if all goes to plan). What does seem apparent, is that users in the U.S. might be waiting for a while to get their quality time with a Worldcoin Orb.
"It might be that we delay launch in the United States until we have more clarity around the regulatory environment here," Blania notes.
It's all an arduous process, but setting up millions of users with their first crypto wallets while simultaneously building out a network of verified internet users via the blockchain sounds like something that many crypto investors would break their piggy banks for. As Worldcoin launches, unique users will be given a share of the digital currency (whether that is a flat rate or dollar-pegged amount isn't final, but it sounds like it will be the latter). All-in-all 80% of the Worldcoin supply will be given to users onboarded to the service, while 10% will be reserved for the company with the remaining 10% going to the organization's investors.
One of the major issues with giving users free money is that they tend to spend it. Blania says that they will make efforts to ensure users can't immediately liquidate the entirety of their sign-up reward as Worldcoin scales its network and utility.
And speaking of investors, Worldcoin is launching with $25 million in funding led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from Coinbase, Reid Hoffman, Day One Ventures, Multicoin, FTX's Sam Bankman-Fried and Variant's Jesse Walden, among others. The investment was made at a $1 billion valuation, but the unicorn signifier largely seems meaningless here as Blania tells me the company and its IP will eventually be converted into a foundation. Investors are bankrolling the startup to get access to the 10% pool of investor capital in the Worldcoin token.
"The equity of the company itself should not matter at all, basically," Blania says.
Ultimately, gaining attention for yet another new cryptocurrency is a massive challenge, onboarding billions of users is another one, as is ensuring their proprietary hardware can decipher billions of eyeballs in drastically different onboarding environments. Worldcoin has plenty of huge challenges ahead of it and some that likely won't be obvious until there are more orbs in the wild. Some of these issues can likely be solved by having access to ever-flowing investor capital, but other issues will simply arise from communicating how all of this (pretty complicated) stuff works.
The company's launch blog seems to communicate it all pretty well: "Nothing like this has ever been done before and the outcome is uncertain."

Idaho Man Sets House on Fire After Emotional Breakup
Mallory Published: September 29, 2021
DarthArt
I will be the first to admit that burning something that reminds you of an ex after a bad breakup is sort of therapeutic. Of course, this applies to pictures, letters, even clothing items.. but definitely not the whole house! A man from Idaho Falls must not have got that memo.
Eli Lewis, 42, was arrested and recently charged with a felony of first-degree arson after the mobile home he lived in with his ex-girlfriend caught on fire on September 18th. No one was inside when police and first responders arrived on the scene but they were able to locate Lewis at a nearby park, according to eastidahonews.com.
When they took Lewis back to the scene, his ex-girlfriend and other family members were also there. Lewis reportedly began yelling, "I did it, the house was ugly, I made it beautiful, this is true," according to court documents. At that point, it was clear to police that this act was committed over a recent breakup. Officers were left with no choice after that outburst other than to take Lewis to the Bonneville County Jail and book him for arson.
An Idaho Falls Police Department news release states that investigators found two bottles of lighter fluid, a small propane tank, a 5-gallon propane tank, charcoal, and other evidence indicating someone set the fire intentionally inside the home upon inspection.
Lewis could be ordered to spend up to 25-years in prison and or pay a $100,000 fine along with restitution if he is ultimately convicted with a felony arson charge.

GhanaWeb Polls: 61% of respondents think KT Hammond's comments on Volta Region were ethnocentric
Some 61% of respondents, who took part in a poll conducted by GhanaWeb have said comments made about the Volta and Oti Regions last week by the Member of Parliament for Adansi Asokwa, KT Hammond was ethnocentric.
The poll which was conducted on June 29, 2020, revealed that 3,607 votes representing 61.77% bemoaned the legislator's comments with 2,057 votes representing 35.23% indicating the comments were less ethnocentric.
However, results from the poll also revealed 175 votes (3.00%) had no opinion on the motion.
The comments made by the legislator erupted social media and public outrage as he indicated the government's military deployment to the border towns was to stop Togolese nationals from partaking in the ongoing voter registration exercise.
Others called out the government's intention of the deployment and "ethnocentric bias to intimidate and suppress voters" ahead of the December 2020 polls.
NB: Results from this poll are only representative of participants and therefore can not be generalized.
See results from the poll below:
GhanaWeb launched its polls in May with the first question being: Should the EC go ahead with the new register?
This poll question gained 141,132 responses in 48 hours and over 2,000 people commented under the poll expressing divergent views about the Electoral Commission and the new voters' register.
The GhanaWeb Poll is an open-access poll that allows participants to self-select into participation. The results of the poll cannot be generalized, but are only representative of the participants of the poll.

I am going to explore the developing world of 3D-printed animation by modelling and animating a character in 3D (Maya/Zbrush) and then 3D-printing each frame of animation and then photographing it in the real world, with real world elements interacting with the 3D printed pieces. That's the plan anyway. This will give me the chance to develop my 3D animating skills and character animation in general, but then take the digital animation and situate it in the real world.
It's not a very practical idea. If you were to do this at 24 fps for a mere 1 minute animation you would have to 3D print 1440 individual pieces. You may be able to use some frames more than once, but that opens you up to a whole host of new issues. For most any kind of production it would be extremely costly and difficult to manage all those different pieces. Although i would like to explore in my research if there are any instances in which 3D-printing your 3D animation would be not only an aesthetic choice, but a practical one. You could number the pieces to keep them organised, which would be fine, but you would need enough real estate to contain them. And most 3D printers are not yet in colour, the ones which are only have limited colours and are extremely expensive, which means if you want colour you are going to have to paint each 3D-printed object, which is a lot of work, especially when considering things like consistency. Also the quality differs from printer to printer, although i think that the quality can add to the charm, it is something to consider. I also learnt last year that 3D-printed objects can be pretty delicate things, as they often hollow inside to save on material, and supported by a mesh-like structure.
Even with all these perceived issues i think there is huge scope for this kind of process to be really interesting.
This video takes a look at how 3D printing is being utilised more in stop-motion animation, to switch out mouths and faces on characters when they are talking. It is still easier for filmmakers to manipulate the wire-frame characters rather than 3D printing thousands upon thousands of different characters for each frame of movement. This process actually reduced production costs and streamlines the process for animators and filmmakers. Animating with stop motion characters takes a lot of skill and patience, and is a niche industry compared to other forms of animation. Whereas animating a character in 3D allows the animator to make adjustments and see the animation immediately and then review them before printing those pieces ready for animators to begin animating.
Hello play! is an online platform for connecting all of your music player accounts in one single place. This promo video, directed by Greg Barth, features a lot of awesome 3D printing elements as well as practical effects.
This promotional video incorporates practical effects with stop-motion and 3D-printed elements to create this amazing visual spectacle. The behind the scenes video takes a look at how the artist was able to create these effects using multiple different processes and technology. Why not simply animate these things in a 3D program? I think there is a certain charm to creating these things as real-world objects and then photographing them using stop-motion techniques that is otherwise perhaps missing or just different from 3D-modelled and animated productions.
RUN BABY RUN is a 3d printed animation, created by filmmaker Eran Amir, 100% in camera, on location, with no green-screen or digital trickery. It took over 2,500 unique photos to create the final video.
It looks like he 3D printed 22 separate babies to create the smooth run cycle, and i would assume some kind of device which attached to his camera to situate the babies consistently in frame.
The finished product is a great proof of concept, but the pole would have to be removed in post, which is not totally ideal, unless it is an aesthetic choice by the filmmaker. But the camera can not move around the subject to give the audience another view of the running baby which is also something to consider.
I really like the part of the sequence when the baby is running through the town and people are in the shots in this jumpy timelapse, while the baby character is smoothly running through it all.
Unbox yourself is a fully 3D printed commercial for Zihua Creative, China's first online learning platform focused on the creative industries.
The team behind the advertisement 3D printed more than 600 "Boxman" figurines in order to complete the project.
The character is not attached to the camera, and will be animated using some kind of ghosting software to ensure it is in the correct place for each frame. This gives the filmmakers the freedom to move the camera around, and makes a big different to the final animation.
Something like this really highlights the possibilities of this kind of process. This film was made by a large team of people working together over a long period of time. So i have to be realistic with the sort of animation i can create in the time i have.
Created by DBLG, an ideas agency, who teamed up with Blue Zoo animation to create this adorable little walk cycle.
This is a really simple animation cycle but consists of nearly 50 individually printed bears on stairs to make it appear as smoothly as it does. it looks like the filmmakers have a mark on the floor which they line up with one corner of the stairs to ensure each one is consistently in the correct place for photographing. The low-poly geometric style reminds us that the bear is a computer generated character being brought to life.
A film by Raphael Vangelis on the well known digital symbols we collectively spend our time watching when we spend time on our computers waiting for things to load.
This film is a series of short animations using 3D-printed pieces, among other components. This film shows how 3D-printing a 3D-animation could well make sense in some scenarios. Although i'm sure there is an argument to be made that some of these animations could have been achieved just as easily or easier in other ways, this process allowed the film-maker to visualise the final animation in the computer first before making them real-world objects. Again this is something that could have been achieved entirely using 3D animation and rendering it out on the computer, but there is something really brilliant about the charm of stop-motion animation and finding a balance between the two.
The 2D effects which appear in the film are a really great way of making the animation come to life and enhancing the action on screen. This film utilises many different animation techniques; 3D animation, stop-motion elements and 2D animation.

Q: How to create custom events in Javascript? (compatible with IE8 and using Vanilla JS) I created a placeholder Polyfill and to simplify it, I'm using value to set the placeholder value. Of course the danger of this is that if you submit a form with placeholders it will submit the values.
To fix this, I added two new custom events : onbeforesubmit and onaftersubmit.
So far I can get this working but I have two questions:

*

*How to modify's submit prototype to have the following behavior for all forms (right now I'm setting it after document load on all forms rather than using prototype which is quite anoying):
element.onsubmit = function () {
        element.onbeforesubmit();
        element.submit();
        element.onaftersubmit();
        return false;
}

*Right now I modified HTMLFormElement's prototype to include the two new events like this:
HTMLFormElement.prototype.onbeforesubmit = function () {};
HTMLFormElement.prototype.onaftersubmit = function () {};

I'm pretty sure this is not the right way since I cannot use addEventListener with these two new properties. For now I'm resorting to use the following syntax which is again less than ideal. How can I make this work like normal events?
element.form.onbeforesubmit = function () {
     element.value = '';
}

What I'm hoping to get to is simply (in that case using a addEventListener polyfill for IE8 but not other browsers):
element.form.addEventListener('beforesubmit', function () {
     element.value = '';
}

India thrash Pakistan 5-1 in Sultan Azlan Shah Cup 2016
Manpreet opened the scoring for India before Pakistan equalised. SV Sunil grabbed a couple before Pakistan lost their way in the final stages.
Updated: April 12, 2016 5:14 PM IST
By R Vishal Email
It was India's firepower that saw them through in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup 2016, beating Pakistan 5-1. The side won a bronze medal last year and are in a much better position to improve on it this year. It was an early blitz that gave India the lead. There was some terrific hockey from star man Manpreet Singh, who waltzed past the Pakistan defense and put the ball into the net. The finish was ordinary but a timid save from Imran Butt didn't help matters for Pakistan. India vs Pakistan – As it happened
One can never count Pakistan out from penalty corners and a well worked move ensured that the men in green equalised three minutes later, skipper Muhammad Irfan's thunderous strike left India no chance to get a touch on the ball. It was SV Sunil who guided India home from there, and the Indians got back their lead minutes later. Manpreet made an excellent pass to find out Sunil, who calmly slotted the ball into the net. The momentum was India but the game slowed down post India taking the lead. But the intensity of an India-Pakistan contest never dipped even slightly though, tackles were made, balls were won but there was little on offer in terms of chances.
Pakistan tried to fight back aggressively in the third quarter but had little success with India thwarting a lot of their attacks. Nikkin Thimmaiah made a glorious run but couldn't convert. Shortly after that, Ramandeep Singh was handed a yellow card and Pakistan sensed a way back in the contest. India survived the half.
The fourth quarter started and the wheels began to come off for the Pakistan side, whose defense where in tatters. Sunil got his second and India had some breathing space. A neat pass from the flanks was converted by a diving effort from Sunil. Pakistan looked tired and had virtually given up. Talwinder Singh and Rupinder Pal Singh added a couple in the final stages to add gloss on the scoreline. Pakistan had given up after the third quarter and it cost them dear in the final stages. It was quite an even battle for the first three quarters.

When we arrived the waitress didn't seem to know about the deal, but everything was sorted out fairly quickly. The food was excellent, as it always is at Chardon d'Or, lots of lovely flavours. Overall this was a good lunch, the only minor criticism is that the portion on the express lunch main dish could have been a little larger. Nonetheless, we still enjoyed ourselves.

Everything To Know About Rick And Morty Season 5: What About The Release Date? Why It Is Taking Time To Release?
Niranjan
June 24, 2020 6:30 pm EDT
Rick and Morty is a series with redefining the idea of irrelevant humour. The series undergoes a wise trade of dialogues. The comedy series got a huge positive retort from the viewers and enlisted itself in the list of masterpieces. Creators of this series Dan Harmon and Justin Roinland are all set to move the journey ahead to the fifth sequel of the series.
The first season of this series was released on December 2, 2013, and great bolster from the fans made its way to fourth season till now with all total 41 episodes. The series till now revolves around the startling results of mad scientist Rick and Morty's experiments. The show also shows the outlandish voyages with Rick's dangerous Sci-fi gadgets.
He moves his grandchild Morty in his problematic adventures. Rick's evil side also gives the show a dark edge. Now the fans are eagerly waiting for the fifth sequel of the series, after an unpredictable ending of last season. Here we are going to cover every news and update about this upcoming sequel, hence go through the detailed article.
Rick and Morty Season 5: Release Date
The fourth season of this series was displayed again in July 2019, this indicates the production of the fifth sequel is not yet completed. The report says that the production will continue in this year after the pandemic outbreak. The production got a pause due to coronavirus pandemic, that's the only reason behind the season delay. The official release date is not upheld yet, but we expect the final date to hit somewhere in 2021.
Rick and Morty Season 5: Cast
There is no official update about any change in the voice artists from the last season. We are going to heed our favorite character in their precise accent. Voice artist going to reprise their specific character is Spencer Grammer giving his voice for Summer, Sarah Chalke will voice for Beth, Chris Parnell will voice the character Jerry, and Justin Roiland will voice for both Rick and Morty in the upcoming fifth season.
Rick and Morty Season 5: Plot
It's really very tough to predict the exact storyline of any animated series, especially for such a series like Rick and Morty. Each and every episode of this series is fairly like out of the box, which infers every episode to be distinct from the other. During the last season, we saw Rick's good behavior, but we can't expect the same again.
Therefore, the fifth sequel of this series will mainly focus on Rick's dark side.
For more updates, stay tuned with us.

Home News Football Index Player Accounts Devastated as Betting Exchange Slashes Dividend Payouts
Football Index Player Accounts Devastated as Betting Exchange Slashes Dividend Payouts
Betting exchange announced a significant reduction in maximum dividends per share on Friday
As a result, share prices plummeted across the board, destroying customer account values
Football Index kept issuing new shares in the weeks leading up to the dividend announcement
The company said it had "sustained substantial losses," necessitating the move
Dan Katz
Dan Katz graduated with a BS in Commerce from the University of Virginia and an MBA from Emory University. He clearly uses neither of those degrees now, having been writing about the gambling industry (specializing in poker) since 2005. Prior to that, he was an IT and management consultant. He is an avid gamer, primarily on PC, and enjoys collecting retro video games and consoles; finding room to set them all up is his current challenge. Dan lives in Atlanta, Georgia with his wife and two children. You can get in touch with Dan at dan@vegasslotsonline.com.
Shares of soccer players on the Football Index betting exchange plunged over the weekend after the company announced it was slashing divided payouts. [Image: Shutterstock.com]
Update, March 12, 2021: The UK Gambling Commission has suspended the operating license of BetIndex Limited, which trades as Football Index, after finding that the platform "may not be suitable to carry on with licensed activities." Immediately following the announcement, the Betting and Gaming Council proceeded to suspend the company's membership while investigations are ongoing.
The news comes after Football Index announced on its website on March 11 that it would suspend its platform and go into administration as it seeks to resume business "in a restructured form."
Share prices plunge
Bettors with holdings on Football Index are furious as the European soccer betting exchange changed its terms, resulting in share prices plummeting and leaving customers holding the bag. On Friday, Football Index announced a new dividend structure, slashing the maximum dividend payment per share from 14p ($0.19) to just 3p ($0.04). The pricing change will take effect 28 days from the day of the announcement.
share prices on the market have plummeted by as much as 90% or more
As a result of the severe dividend reduction, share prices on the market have plummeted by as much as 90% or more. For example, shares of Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho were going for £7.52 ($10.39) on Friday, but on Sunday morning, that figure had tumbled to 72p ($0.99).
Football Index is a betting site in which customers can buy and sell shares of soccer players like they would companies on a stock exchange. As prices change, customers can potentially make profits by selling higher than when they bought. Football Index also pays dividends per share based on how players perform and even on how much they get talked about in the media. Naturally, with the potential to make money on dividends demolished, there is less demand for shares, leading to a crash in prices.
One customer compared the sudden change in dividend terms to a traditional sportsbook changing the odds on an already-booked futures bet halfway through a season because it realized it couldn't afford to pay out on a win.
Company was still issuing new shares
To make matters worse, Football Index created (or "minted") and issued new shares in popular players before the dividend change announcement. According to The Guardian, the company issued almost 300,000 new shares in February, including 15,000 for just the eight most popular players.
For the aforementioned Sancho, the exchange issued 2,400 new shares in February, equating to an estimated £16,800 ($23,209) in revenue for the company. From those eight top players – Sancho, Neymar, Kylian Mbappé, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Paul Pogba, Bruno Fernandes, Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford – The Guardian estimates Football Index made about £75,000 ($103,613).
Football Index CEO Mike Bohan announced on February 18 that he would host a Q&A the following week to talk about ways to improve the site, but he postponed the session and replaced it with the dividend update announcement on March 5.
feel "betrayed" by the company
In between, Football Index continued to issue new shares, generating revenue. Customers, many of whom have lost five-to-six-figures in account value, feel "betrayed" by the company, believing that the exchange made money on new shares while knowing it was about to kill share prices across the board.
Though Football Index keeps customer cash balances in segregated accounts and therefore said balances are generally considered safe ("generally" because if the company goes under, there are no repayment guarantees), shares have value only on paper. This value is not realized until the shares are sold.
It was a desperation move
In a public statement, Football Index said it made the dividend decision because the company "has sustained substantial losses" and cannot afford to be paying out so much money per share. The company's board had come up with a plan to mitigate losses while keeping dividends where they were for a while longer and that the new shares issuance was part of that plan.
"However," the company said, "it became clear that important KPIs of the plan were not being sustained to a level that would support the ongoing payment of dividends at those levels, despite substantial progress being made against those objectives."
While the higher-ups were devising a new plan, they decided to "continue business as usual" until they settled upon the new course of direction. Once they realized that that cutting dividends was what they needed to do, they stopped issuance orders and made the announcement "as soon as reasonably practicable."
Some customers have threatened members of the Football Index staff, resulting in the company disabling comments on its Twitter feed.

Oren Ambarchi - Grapes from the Estate
Album: Grapes from the Estate
Review date: Aug. 2, 2004
This is a somewhat perplexing release from the usually excellent Ambarchi. It's simplistic, even friendly. Mind you, the Touch imprint has a bit of history in putting out relatively user-friendly releases by otherwise gnarly musicians, including Ambarchi's own Insulation from 1999 and Suspension from 2001, but I was still taken aback by Grapes From the Estate. As most of Ambarchi's recent work has been with the likes of Otomo Yoshihide, Sachiko M, Fennesz, and Keith Rowe, I was expecting music as sparse as this but perhaps not quite so obviously tonal and familiar. This wine turned out to be much sweeter than anticipated.
He opens things up with "Corkscrew," a slow-moving, hypnotic piece where Ambarchi's electric guitars are highly processed and sound like pure computer tones; the piece evolves around lush, ringing fifths. Ambarchi has long experimented with the electric guitar, stripping it of all its rock and expressionist associations and treating it as a pure sound source (something he does quite brilliantly on Flypaper, his duet with Rowe, and on his drone duet with Johan Berthling, My Days Are Darker Than Your Nights, whose lush carpet of tones and loops might be seen as a predecessor for this release). In a sense, here he's using the techniques acquired in more challenging situations to construct the electroacoustic equivalent of pop songs. Certainly the quasi-progression of "Girl with the Silver Eyes" justifies that description, despite its inclusion of the odd squeal and sine tone. For more of this, skip right to the sing-song "Remedios the Beauty" (good to see that Ambarchi has been reading his Gabriel Garcia Marquez, by the way) which is the most Fennesz-like track here. However, just as Ambarchi builds up these two middle tracks with their melodies and chord progressions (many built around multiple guitars, percussion, piano, and organ), the long finale "Stars Aligned, Webs Spun" returns to just electric guitars. The feel on this last track almost reminds me of Ben Monder's "Propane Dream" filtered through one of Jim O'Rourke's sunnier moments (or through some of the lovely melancholy of a Grails song).
All the songs loop on and on, seemingly infinitely, succeeding through the repetition of and simple elaboration on very basic sonic materials. There's nothing particularly groundbreaking on Grapes From the Estate, but that's not really the point either. Its patient incandescence is reward enough.

3rd allegation emerges for ex-MSU gymnastics coach
Kathie Klages told the mother of a gymnast that evidence against Larry Nassar may have been planted, an attorney says.
3rd allegation emerges for ex-MSU gymnastics coach Kathie Klages told the mother of a gymnast that evidence against Larry Nassar may have been planted, an attorney says. Check out this story on Freep.com: http://on.freep.com/2lQjuas
Lansing State Journal Published 3:32 p.m. ET Feb. 15, 2017 | Updated 4:12 p.m. ET Feb. 15, 2017

EAST LANSING — Former MSU women's gymnastics coach Kathie Klages told the mother of a current gymnast in December that the child pornography the FBI said it found on Larry Nassar's computers and hard drives may have been planted, an attorney confirmed Wednesday.
The allegation — the third made specifically against Klages — was first made in a court document filed Jan. 27 seeking to add the athlete to the federal lawsuit against Michigan State University, Nassar, USA Gymnastics and Twistars gymnastics club in Dimondale.
Those documents, filed by attorney Jamie White, didn't identify Klages, but said it was "a member of MSU's coaching staff."
White, the attorney for the gymnast who says Nassar sexually assaulted her during medical appointments, confirmed on Tuesday that it was Klages who spoke to his client's mother.
He also confirmed that it was Klages who told his client's mother that "Nassar's digital penetrations of (the athlete's) vagina was a proven medical treatment."
Feds: Ex-gymnastics doctor Nassar had computer files destroyed
Five more girls and women allege assault by ex-MSU doctor
A message was left seeking comment from Shirlee Bobryk, Klages' attorney.
The court documents White filed also say that in September, after sexual assault allegations against Nassar first became public, an MSU official went to the women's gymnastics team and told them not to answer questions from police or media about Nassar.
On Tuesday, White said the official also told the athletes not to discuss Nassar with their own families. That MSU official is not identified in court documents and White said they don't know the official's name, but he confirmed it was not Klages.

Matt Larson, a spokesman for the athletics department, referred questions about the September team meeting to Jason Cody, a university spokesman. Cody said the university knows who attended that team meeting, but declined to answer additional questions, saying it would be inappropriate to comment on the ongoing university review related to Nassar and the athletic department.
Cody added that no one other than Klages has been suspended in connection with the Nassar investigation.
The university has previously said it will investigate all allegations. The university is currently conducting four investigations related to Nassar: the criminal investigation by the university's police department, internal Title IX investigations, an investigation of his clinical work with the athletic department and a review of policies and protocols within the MSU HeathTeam.
Should MSU be leading Dr. Nassar criminal investigation?
The university suspended Klages on Monday. She was in her 27th year as head coach of MSU's women's gymnastics team. On Tuesday, hours after new allegations related to what she knew about Nassar's alleged conduct surfaced in court documents, Klages announced her retirement.
Klages and MSU Athletic Director Mark Hollis met on Monday and discussed the team meeting in September, according to a letter from Hollis to Klages dated Feb. 14 that the university provided to the State Journal.
At the conclusion of that September team meeting, according to the letter, Klages shared a "highly emotional sense of shock" about the Nassar allegations, which confused several athletes about who they could or should speak with about the situation, Hollis wrote.
Court documents filed Tuesday morning allege that Klages in 1997 asked a teenage girl if Nassar had performed procedures that included digital vaginal and anal penetration on her. When the girl said yes, "Klages told (her) that there is no reason to bring up Nassar's conduct," attorneys wrote in the court documents.
And court documents filed last month allege that in the late 1990s Klages cautioned a different teenage girl who came forward with concerns about Nassar's treatment of her that filing a complaint could lead to "serious consequences" not only for Nassar but for her. Klages also told the girl, according to court documents, that the girl must have been "misunderstanding" or "reading into" the treatment Nassar was providing.

In December, an FBI agent testified during a detention hearing that a search of computers and hard drives found on Nassar's property revealed at least 37,000 images and videos of child pornography. The agent also testified that there were videos that showed Nassar sexually assaulting young girls in a swimming pool.
In a statement on Tuesday announcing Klages' retirement, Bobryk said her client would have "reacted immediately to protect her gymnasts" had she ever received information put her trust in Nassar in doubt. Bobryk added that Klages trusted Nassar to "competently and ethically" treat the gymnasts.
Nassar, 53, of Holt, worked for decades at MSU and with USA Gymnastics. Since September, more than 60 women or girls have made sexual assault allegations about Nassar to law enforcement, officials have said. Many of the allegations date back decades and involve medical appointments.
Nassar faces three first-degree criminal sexual conduct charges in Ingham County and three federal charges related to possessing, obtaining or destroying child pornography images or videos.
However, he has not been charged with crimes related to his role as a doctor for the university.
To date, at least 38 women or girls are involved in two lawsuits against MSU, and Nassar has been sued by 39 women in at least six lawsuits. Several of those lawsuits also name USA Gymnastics as a co-defendant.
The largest lawsuit is in federal court in Grand Rapids. It was filed Jan. 10 with 18 plaintiffs but has since increased to 37, with two women filing motions on Wednesday to join the lawsuit.

'Stranger Things' found to be Netflix's second most popular show - and #1 is pretty surprising
Stranger Things debuted on Netflix three years ago this week, and unless you've been living under a rock you're probably aware that it's exploded in popularity in a big way since then. In fact, when respondents to a new survey were asked to list their favorite shows on the streaming platform, it ended up being one of the two most popular choices. Out of everything on the service.The only show that was listed higher on this user ranking of favorites as part of a MoffettNathanson-commissioned poll conducted by HarrisX is Orange Is the New Black, which wound up in the number 1 spot.Just to be clear -- that poll actually found that both Stranger Things and OITNB are actually more popular than some of the licensed shows on Netflix you might have expected to rank at or near the top of the list. Shows like Friends and The Office, both of which are unfortunately rolling off the service soon. Those NBC chestnuts from the golden age of appointment TV, instead, round out the bottom of the list of users' top 10 favorite shows on Netflix, with the HarrisX poll findings including both originals and licensed content.Here's how the poll results actually shake out (and we can already hear some of you groaning in disagreement at some of these entries). We mentioned already that OITNB and Stranger Things are 's 1 and 2. The rest of the top ten favorites, starting with third place, are as follows: * For the number three slot, users just said "movies" in general * Ozark * Grace and Frankie * Black Mirror * Lucifer * The Crown * The Office * FriendsThere's also a huge caveat it's important to point out here by way of putting these admissions of favorites into context. They're just that -- admissions. They're not the same thing and don't match up to time spent actually watching content. Part of the reason why that's the case is the apples-to-oranges nature of these comparisons. You can say Stranger Things is your favorite thing to watch on Netflix. But there's a lot more of Friends to actually watch, for example, since it has 236 episodes compared to Stranger Things, which has 25 through the first three seasons.That's why Netflix analyses defy being put into simple, easy buckets. People often only look at one piece of the picture, instead of the whole -- though they're all certainly important. It's important to know these user preferences above, for example, just as it's important to know that Nielsen's SVOD Content Ratings, per a Variety report, actually ranked The Office as the number 1 show on Netflix for 2018 on the basis of minutes streamed. That's followed by Friends, Grey's Anatomy and NCIS. (Presumably, you see the pattern there -- those shows obviously crush it on the basis of time spent viewing them because there's a ton of episodes of all of them to, you know, view on Netflix).While much has been made about the imminent departures of Friends (which is leaving Netflix next year) and The Office (leaving in 2021), these poll results include what's arguably a silver lining. The poll includes mentions of 99 Netflix shows, and a whopping 51 of the favorites were Netflix originals. Users picked 42 licensed shows as their favorites. Again, you'd expect that, since licensed shows seem to be rolling off of Netflix with greater frequency -- but at least users aren't too clingy about the licensed shows that remain.

Investigators looking into the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 have discovered a "mysterious 200lb load" added to the flight list after take-off, according to an engineer whose wife and two children were on board. Ghyslain Wattrelos said the cargo was revealed in a report on the passengers and baggage by French investigators. Mr Wattrelos, who believes the flight was deliberately downed, told Le Parisien newspaper: "It was also learned that a mysterious load of 89 kilos was added to the flight list after take-off. A container was also overloaded, without anyone knowing why. It may be incompetence or manipulation. Everything is possible. This will be part of the questions for the Malaysians." MH370 became one of the world's greatest aviation mysteries when it vanished with 239 people on board en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014. French investigators who examined flight data at Boeing's headquarters in Seattle believe that the pilot was in control of the airliner "right up to the end". A modern mystery | Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Mr Wattrelos said the investigators told him the data "lends weight" to the theory that the pilot crashed into the sea in a murder-suicide, although they stressed that there was no proof. The investigators expect it to take up to a year to examine the data fully. However, some experts believe a hijack by a stowaway is a possibility and the mysterious load could lend credence to the theory. Tim Termini, an aviation security specialist, told Channel 5 earlier this month: "It's highly likely that a hijack took place and again, there's four options for the hijack. "One is the hijack of the aircraft through a crew member. The second is a hijack coming from a passenger. A third option, which is a fairly unusual one, would be a stowaway. And then of course the fourth option is an electrical takeover of the aircraft from a ground-based station." Mr Wattrelos, 54, who has led a campaign to find out what happened to the flight, acknowledged that "there is a risk that I may never learn the full truth."

Q: Capture scroll event in Backbone I have a Backbone.Marionette item view. It renders a list of items. I want to listen for the scoll event everytime somebody scrolls the list. I assumed this would work:
events: {
    'scroll ul': 'filterInteraction'
},

filterInteraction: function(){
    console.log('in filterInteraction ');
}

But it does not capture the scroll event. However, when I do:
onRender: function() {
     this.$el.find('ul').on( 'scroll', function(){
         console.log('scroll event captured'):
     });
}

This will capture the scroll event. What is the difference? Both seem to be doing the same thing...

A: With onRender you are setting the event on each render that's the only difference I see. So in my opinion the first solution would have better performance.
And as anonymousday said, the first option is implementing event delegation, which means Event delegation allows us to attach a single event listener, to a parent element, that will fire for all descendants matching a selector, whether those descendants exist now or are added in the future.

the 'click' event bubble so in event delagation the div #root receive it and can handle it, but the scroll event don't bubble so we can't handle it from #root div
In the next example we have the same code for each event.
If we click on 'ul' we have a log click for ul and a log click for #root
because click event 'bubble' / climb up the DOM tree until #root.
If we scroll on #root we have a log scroll for root because we capture the event directly from it.
But we can't use event delegation to handle scroll from ul because scroll event don't 'bubble' / climb up the DOM tree.

A woman on an American Airlines flight from Chicago to Miami had trouble placing her carry-on bag into the overhead compartment, so a flight attendant did it for her. When the plane landed and the passenger tried to retrieve her luggage, it was wedged so tightly in the overhead bin, she had to pull so hard that it "flew out of the compartment" and forcefully hit her and knocked her off balance. The force knocked her into an armrest of the seat behind her.
The passenger was transported by paramedics to an emergency room for treatment. She later had to undergo surgery and suffered for months as a result of the injury. She filed suit against the airline. According to her lawsuit, the Chicago to Miami was the last leg of her journey which began in Jordan. Since her trip included international travel, her lawsuit was determined according to the Warsaw and Montreal Conventions.
An Oregon man sued Southwest Airlines for damages based on a head injury he received when a flight attendant was negligent in helping another passenger try to stow luggage in an overhead bin. The bag fell onto the Oregon man who was sitting in an aisle seat.
The injured man claimed the airline was negligent in allowing an oversized bag to be carried onto the plane. In addition, he alleged that the flight attendant was not properly trained in how to load the overhead bin, which resulted in the bag falling and hitting him on the head. He claimed he incurred medical expenses and lost wages due to time off of work.
Two passengers were injured in the same way: luggage falling from an overhead bin and injuring them when the bag hit them. But, the outcomes may not be the same. Different laws apply to those injured in domestic flights than for those injured in a flight that involved a stop in a foreign country.
If the passenger can prove in court that the "accident" meets this definition, the airlines will be liable for the injuries. Proof of negligence is not required.
When a passenger is injured by falling luggage from the overhead bin in a domestic flight, and the passenger had no foreign destination on his or her itinerary, the injured person has to prove negligence on the part of the flight attendant or airline.
The airline may have been negligent in allowing oversized bags to be crowded into the overhead bin, or in not properly training attendants in how to stow the baggage. The attendant may have been negligent in not securely latching the bin.
Commercial airlines are considered common carriers, which means they are required to exercise the "highest degree of care and diligence in the safety of their passengers and cargo." They also must follow their own regulations, and if a passenger was injured due to the failure of an employee to follow those regulations, that may also be grounds for a lawsuit.
If you were injured by luggage falling from an overhead bin, you would benefit from the services of our transportation injury attorneys and staff at the Blumenshine Law Group. The law that applies depends on your personal itinerary. We are skilled in proving negligence whether you were on a domestic flight, or your itinerary included a foreign destination.

A button to start dictation using Web Speech API, with an easy to understand event lifecycle.
This project scaffolding is from react-component-template.
Try out this component at github.io/compulim/react-dictate-button.
First, install our production version by npm install react-dictate-button. Or our development version by npm install react-dictate-button@master.
grammar="#JSGF V1.0; grammar districts; public <district> = Tuen Mun | Yuen Long;"
Note: change of grammar and lang will not take effect until next dictation.
Instead of passing child elements, you can pass a function to render different content based on ready state. This is called function as a child.
Morphing is done thru React.Context. In short, you can build your own component by copying our layout code, without messing around the logic code behind the scene. You can also easily bump version without breaking your layout. For details, please refer to DictateButton.js, DictateCheckbox.js, and DictationTextbox.js.
In addition to <button>, we also ship <input type="checkbox"> out of the box. The checkbox version is better suited for toggle button scenario and web accessibility. You can use the following code for the checkbox version.
grammar="#JSGF V1.0; grammar districts; public <district> = Redmond | Bellevue;"
We also provide a "textbox with dictate button" version. But instead of shipping a full-fledged control, we make it a minimally-styled control so you can start copying the code and customize it in your own project. The sample code can be found at DictationTextbox.js.
Please feel free to file suggestions.

Police Slam Apple Maps After Dodgy Directions Strand Motorists
By Chris Davies/Dec. 10, 2012 3:01 am EST
Australian police have recommended motorists avoid using Apple Maps, after incorrect navigation data led to six people needing rescue after getting mistakenly directed to a National Park. The official iOS Maps app, which replaced Google Maps in iOS 6, locates Mildura, Victoria, over forty miles away, in the midst of the Murray Sunset National Park. "It's quite a dangerous situation," Victoria police inspector Simon Clemence told ABC Australia, pointing out that "if it was a 45-degree day, someone could actually die."
Although launched with great fanfare by Apple, user-feedback to Apple Maps was critical from the start. While US data was relatively complete, mapping information outside of the US was particularly underwhelming, with out-of-date businesses still listed, locations not aligned to their actual position, and occasionally misaligned mapping tiles.
Apple has promised rapid updates, and indeed CEO Tim Cook said last week that server-side modifications had already been made to correct many of the issues. However, that hasn't stopped several people in Australia from getting lost after over-reliance on the directions of the app.
One couple, for instance, spent five hours in the National Park after their car blew a tire. "We had the shelter of the car," driver Victoria Wake said, "but obviously you don't want to keep running the car and putting the air conditioner because you don't know how long you're going to be there."
According to Clemence, it's another indication that drivers are being too trusting of their technology, at the cost of common sense. "I'm sure they were getting a bit suspicious and wary by the time they realised that perhaps something was wrong, but a lot of people put too much faith in sat navs" he pointed out. "We would be calling for people not to use the new Apple iPhone mapping system if they're traveling from South Australia to Mildura."
Meanwhile, Google is believed to be readying its version of Google Maps for iOS for imminent release, with leaked whispers that the software is seeing the "finishing touches" applied. However, there's some skepticism around whether Apple will approve the rival app for inclusion in the App Store.


2018 gubernatorial nominee Scott Wagner yesterday released what he's calling detailed, substantive plan to improve the economy and create jobs in Pennsylvania. Wagner's says his plan will eliminate burdensome regulations that hold businesses back from growing and expanding, lower taxes on employers so they can hire more workers, bring accountability and certainty to the permitting process and capitalize on the natural resources Pennsylvania has at her disposal.
Scott Wagner and Jeff Bartos say Pennsylvania has the potential to be a major economic powerhouse. They say Governor Wolf has not implemented any economic policies or plans leading to growth for Pennsylvania, and we are currently lagging behind the national economy and the economies of our neighboring states. The GOP candidates they they will be the leaders Pennsylvania needs to ensure our great Commonwealth's economy is empowered.
Pennsylvanians and our businesses are being weighed down by the overabundance of regulations our agencies and local governments have placed on them.
Scott and Jeff will eliminate unnecessary regulatory burdens, ending an overly complex system and ensuring that the regulations that do exist are necessary and effective.
Tom Wolf has consistently tried to implement a tax and spend agenda which would stall potential economic growth.
Scott and Jeff will work to implement tax policies which will encourage new business growth and support the businesses that have already invested in Pennsylvania.
Harrisburg and our local governments should not be an obstacle on the path to growing our economy, they should be facilitating and harnessing every opportunity for expansion.
Scott and Jeff will provide the strong leadership necessary to remove this obstacle and successfully lead us on a path to a powerful economy.
In order to advance job creation, we must encourage economic growth opportunities.
While Tom Wolf has failed to market Pennsylvania and grow potential opportunities, Scott and Jeff will work tirelessly to promote Pennsylvania and take advantage of every opportunity for growth.
Scott and Jeff know that an educated and well trained workforce is fundamental to supporting and growing Pennsylvania's economy.
They will provide the necessary investment to train our future workers and retrain our aging workers, delivering a skilled workforce capable to supporting any and all economic growth.
Scott and Jeff will advance an infrastructure plan guaranteeing the development necessary to support industry.
From energy, transportation, agriculture and manufacturing, Pennsylvania can achieve maximum growth when robust infrastructure is available for our businesses and residents.


On today's show, celebrating 4 years of The Solopreneur Hour since we launched August 23, 2013, I break down step-by-step how to become Profitably Unemployable™. This is a pretty epic show, if I do say so myself.
Really helped me ever since you and Dawn answered my questions a couple years back.
I'm building better guitars and planning some art and music courses. Thanks for the Proudly Unemployable round-up.


My autistic son is sleeping in a toddler bed at last and it's been a rough week for health care access advocates, in spite of clearing the September 30 deadline to pass a repeal bill.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting Trump will sign an Executive Order next week intended to further weaken the ACA exchanges ahead of open enrollment period beginning November 1. The "synthetic repeal" would do three terrible things.
1. Allow individuals and small businesses to purchase cheaper plans lacking essential benefits, as predicted by everyone.
Such plans would in some ways be like large employer's health plans, subject to some restrictions set by the Affordable Care Act, including a ban on lifetime limits. But they would be free of other regulations, including the requirement that insurance plans cover a set package of benefits.
2. Allow junk insurance to be sold for a year or more.
The president also will order the agencies to start winding back an Obama-era rule curbing coverage known as "short-term medical insurance," a low-cost but limited-protection option, and allow people to once again buy those plans for up to a year, the official said.
3. Allow health reimbursement accounts to be used to buy exchange plans.
In addition, the executive order would order agencies to expand health reimbursement accounts, employer-funded arrangements that employees can use to pay out-of-pocket medical costs and premiums. Obama-era guidance from 2013 had prevented pretax employer dollars in the arrangements from being used to buy health insurance on the individual market.
The WSJ calls it 45's most substantive efforts yet to trash the ACA, though that's not really saying much.
Nazis marched in Charlottesville, again, with torches.
From December 2016 but just discovered now, Inclusion and Acceptance are the Best Autism "Therapies".
In trying to do my best to care for my son, I'd listened to these so-called "experts" over my own intuition and intelligence. And let them define him and his actions in these gross, bizarre, animalistic terms. In psychology, it's called "pathologizing" — when you make everything a person with a specific diagnosis does seem like a dysfunctional act that is a symptom of their diagnosis, even if it is something that many people of the same age are doing.
The majority of my experience with therapists and special education teachers regarding my son from age 2–6 was them saying, "See! He is Autistic. This is what Autistics do; They "insert pathologized word here (graze, stim, etc.)" Most children "eat", my child "grazed". Most children "act silly", my child "stimmed". Most children "get upset", my child "had a meltdown". Most children "misbehave", my child "has behavioral disabilities". It was a constant effort, on their part, to show me how "different" and "damaged" my child was; to make sure I was fully aware of his "otherness".
George Will said Trump has "social autism" and mainstream media seems to think that's not totally offensive. Gross, Washington Post.
And finally, the New York Times talks Singapore's health care system.
