Six Leadership traits that could change corporate America!
Dear Leaders, the subject of my letter to you today was formed this past Sunday as my wife and I attended Church in Apple Valley, MN. It was our very last time after 15 years attending as we were moving to a nearby city the next week and the congregation was throwing a "going away" party for us. Our Pastor, the Rev. Bill Gould, presented a topic titled Traits of True Wisdom from the book of James. As he spoke and presented some key points, it resonated as a parallel to my own philosophy of leadership. I feverishly took notes knowing it was something I had to share with my readers. I'd like to offer up these points in hopes of striking a chord in the hearts and minds of inside sales… and all leaders for that matter. You may even come to explore a whole new meaning of the word wisdom.
Let's get right to the point. In a "what's in it for me" world, I believe our business, political and social world is filled with lots of leaders who are occupied with and chasing fame, power and pleasure rather than seeking the good of those people who they manage. They drive towards success, hitting a number, organizational growth, and their own advancement instead of making it better for a diverse group or organization. Ego and self-centeredness drives a wedge between their own ambition and those of the people they lead. This is seen so clearly in politics today as both sides of the aisle have to get their own way with little room for compromise and doing what's in the best interest of the people they supposedly serve. And if all leaders, this writer included, took an honest look in the mirror, they would find an all too often battle between self and serving others that presents itself each and every day.
I believe our World, America, Companies, Families and Inside Sales Teams, would be a bit better off if leaders would follow these six principles.
#1. Leadership Wisdom is PURE – Simply put, the leader's motives and actions must be pure and without hypocrisy or self-centeredness. Their inner most thoughts and intentions must be for the betterment of the group they lead and serve. Their values they espouse should be transparent and honest to the team. The team will feel a sense of trust due to their leader's honesty in intention and deed. This does not mean that everyone on the team will always agree with the leader's actions and decisions, yet it will form a trust which is the bedrock for a successful and high-performing inside sales organization. Self-Check time on this one!
#2. Leadership Wisdom is PEACE LOVING – This type of wisdom for the inside sales leader seeks to sooth, unite and promote harmony and collaboration instead of causing alienation, contention, division and strife. By nature, the strong inside sales leader has to justify their existence… they often end up battling with others even luring them into fights. They feel they have to prove their existence and will sometimes come to blows with those within their own organization. Rather, the Peace Loving Leader takes the sting out of arguments instead of causing them. They seek to find common ground and work as a team with other groups to find success. Is this you?
#3. Leadership Wisdom is GENTLE – The word gentle here can be translated to mean forbearing, reasonable, and courteous. In the Septuagint (Greek version of the Old Testament) this word was often used to describe kindness towards those that didn't deserve it. How often as leaders do we exercise this trait? Aren't we more often found calling out individuals for falling short of metrics and other goals? Don't we insist on our every legal right and our fair share as a profession that is still driving to climb the ladder and take its rightful place in the sales pecking order? Leaders, consider your approach and make sure it's often sprinkled with kind forbearance of others.
#4. Leadership Wisdom is SUBMISSIVE – Really? You'd think the last thing a strong leader should be is submissive. Yet, this trait to me is at the very cornerstone of a strong leader who has the respect and confidence of those the lead. This word takes on a meaning of openness to reason, yielding to persuasion and willingness to consider others opinions. It means that the leader knows they don't have all the answers, and that they are open to learning. The team knows their concerns will be heard and that the leader is not afraid to admit when they were wrong and open to change, even if it's a change in direction from an earlier decision they made. Submissive does NOT mean the leader is a "doormat" or that they do not hold firm to their own set of values and convictions…. As this too is the mark of a strong and well-respected leader. All leaders would do well to as ask themselves how well they do in this area.
#5. Leadership Wisdom is Full of MERCY and GOOD DEEDS – On the surface, the term Mercy may seem like having pity on someone or taking it easy on someone who did something wrong. But in actuality it can be interpreted as compassion which takes specific, positive actions. Mercy is the compassion, and Good Deeds is the action part. Inside sales leaders who manage a team should be careful not to accuse others. Rather, they should be slow to anger having compassion on those they may have even brought trouble on themselves. Where reps clearly have violated policy, missed goals, or done something wrong, the manager will naturally be upset and "angry", yet they should not harbor these feelings for long. Instead, they should take the necessary action to correct the individual out of concern for them. Team members view leaders who show Mercy as those who are fair, compassionate, yet just in how they deal with people and performance issues.
#6. Leadership Wisdom is IMPARTIAL – Impartiality means that the inside sales leader treats everyone the same. They are consistent in how they approach and communicate with all employees and all level of individuals regardless of title. They do not take one position with more senior staff, and a different one with those under their leadership. It certainly does not show favoritism. The leader who is IMPARTIAL may not always make the best decisions, but they will be highly respected for their consistency in treating all others.
I hope one or more of these traits resonated with you as they did me. Often, the hardest things to do well as a leader are not necessarily the day-to-day reporting, performance reviews, coaching, training, etc. Rather, they are the deeply ingrained attitudes, values and traits which we display and demonstrate in our thoughts and actions to those we serve. I trust each leader will become just a little but more "Wise" by embracing the above traits!

Feinstein v. BDS Remodeling Services, L.L.C.
2005 WL 704290 (N.J. Super. App. Div. 2005) (Unpublished)
Opinion Date: March 21, 2005
CONTRACTS; ARBITRATION; CONSUMER FRAUD—A determination of whether a person has waived a statutory right does not hinge on the sophistication or lack of sophistication of the contracting parties, but rather on the intent of the contract's waiver provision as manifested in the language used.
Homeowners filed a complaint with the Law Division in which they asserted "claims of breach of contract, breach of warranty, negligence" and statutory violations against its contractor. The contractor contended that the homeowners signed a contract with an arbitration clause which provided that "all claims or disputes between [it] and the [homeowners] ... shall be decided by arbitration." The homeowners argued that the clause was unenforceable since it did not "clearly state that [the homeowners] were waiving their right to litigate statutory claims."
The Appellate Division held that "in determining whether a person voluntarily waived statutory rights pursuant to an arbitration provision in a contract [] [courts] should not focus predominately on the person's status, education or profession or quality of his counsel." The Court thus held that although one of the homeowners was a lawyer, "what is essential to finding such a waiver is an unambiguous writing."
In response to the contractor's claim that one of the homeowners "knew or should have known what he was signing" because he was an attorney, the Court held that that fact was "not substantial or sufficient evidence to establish a waiver of statutory rights." The Court held that a determination of waiver does not hinge on "the sophistication or lack of sophistication of the contracting parties, but rather on the intent of the clause as manifested in the language used." The Court additionally held that "a waiver of the right to litigate statutory claims will not be found" unless the writing itself or the arbitration agreement "was clear and explicit." Thus, held the Court, "a reasonable reader" would believe "that the arbitration clause" contained in the contract between the contractor and the homeowners "only applie[d] to claims arising from the contract itself and not to statutory claim or claims stemming from the relationship and conduct of all the parties involved." The Court additionally pointed out that the New Jersey Supreme Court found that "virtually the same [contractual] language" was ambiguous. Thus, the Court concluded, "that the interests of judicial economy dictate that the trial court should decide all [of the homeowners'] claims."

Most Spectacular Places to Visit in England during winter
England has a lot of spectacular places to visit. The fascinating thing is that I am showing just a few among them during winter.
The country of England is part of the United Kingdom. Wales borders it on the west, and Scotland on the north. To the southwest of England is the Celtic Sea, and to the northwest is the Irish Sea.
Buckingham Palace is the royal residence and administrative headquarters of the United Kingdom's monarch. The palace, which is located in the City of Westminster, is frequently used for state ceremonies and royal hospitality.
The Queen resides at Buckingham Palace. Buckingham Palace is the Queen's official residence and the most important royal residence in London. Since 1837, it has served as the official London residence of the British monarchy. The first queen to reside there was Queen Victoria.
Big Ben is a nickname for the Great Bell of the striking clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, England, and it is often used to refer to the clock and the clock tower as well.
Why do they call Big ben?
The first is that it was named after Sir Benjamin Hall, the first commissioner of works, a huge man affectionately known as "Big Ben" within the house. The second suggestion is that it was named after Benjamin Caunt, a heavyweight boxing champion at the time.
The Bishop of London is seated in St Paul's Church, an Anglican cathedral in London. The cathedral is the mother church of the London Diocese. It is a Grade I listed building on Ludgate Hill, the highest point in the City of London.
From the funerals of Lord Nelson and Winston Churchill to the weddings of Prince Charles and Diana Spencer, St. Paul's Cathedral has played a significant role in many major cultural and religious events in London.
Kensington Palace is a royal residence in Kensington Gardens, London, England, in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
Kensington Palace was the birthplace of Queen Victoria and has hosted some of the most famous British monarchs in history. It is currently the official house of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who moved there in 2011.
Westminster Abbey is a massive, mostly Gothic abbey church in the City of Westminster, London, England, directly to the west of the Palace of Westminster.
Westminster Abbey is a London church where coronations and other important national ceremonies take place. It is located in the Greater London borough of Westminster, immediately west of the Houses of Parliament. The Collegiate Church of St. Benedict was refounded on the grounds of a former Benedictine monastery.
The Tower of London is a historic castle on the north bank of the River Thames in downtown London, officially Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London.
In times of war and revolt, the Tower, as the most secure fortification in the land, guarded royal possessions and even the royal family. However, rulers used the Tower as a shockingly magnificent castle for 500 years. The Tower has served as a visual emblem of awe and horror throughout history.
Built between 1886 and 1894, Tower Bridge is a Grade I listed dual bascule and suspension bridge in London, designed by Horace Jones and engineered by John Wolfe Barry with the assistance of Henry Marc Brunel.
Because of its Neo-Gothic style and elevating central parts, Tower Bridge is known as London's most spectacular bridge. It was the world's most advanced bascule bridge when it first opened.

Strong coupling and induced transparency with single quantum dots and plasmons: Towards ultrafast all-optical modulation at the nanoscale (Conference Presentation)
Author(s): Matthew A. Pelton
Achieving room-temperature quantum-mechanical strong coupling, or vacuum Rabi splitting, between a single emitter and a plasmon resonance has been a longstanding goal. Recently, two peaks have been observed in the scattering spectra of plasmonic metal nanostructures coupled to single molecules and single quantum dots, and this was taken as evidence of strong coupling. However, a two-peak scattering structure can also arise at intermediate coupling strengths, below the strong-coupling threshold, due to Fano interference between the plasmon and emitter dipole. We unambiguously distinguish between intermediate and strong coupling by measuring both the scattering spectra and the photoluminescence spectra of coupled plasmon-emitter structures. Specifically, we couple single colloidal quantum dots to a plasmon resonator by placing them in the gap between a gold nanoparticle and a silver film. We observe weak, intermediate, and strong coupling in these hybrid metal-semiconductor structures at room temperature, depending on the detailed nanoscale structure of the metal nanoparticle. These structures have the potential to serve as ultrafast, low-power plasmonic modulators on the nanoscale. Both induced transparency and strong coupling can be canceled by absorbing a photon in the quantum dot, leading to a strong change in extinction at the quantum dot transition frequency. Since only a single photon must be absorbed by the QD for this to happen, the energy needed for modulation has the potential to be extremely low, and the structure has the potential to enable all-optical quantum information processing.

Texas voter guide gives nonpartisan look at key issues, candidates
October 30, 2020 | by Olivia Malick, UP editor
The front page of Texas2020's website.
There are more than 400 offices at the federal and state level up for grabs in Texas on Election Day, Nov. 3. It can be hard for some voters to know who their candidates are and what positions those candidates have on key issues.
Gina Fant-Simon and Paula Barkan noticed this and decided to create a guide to streamline the information gathering process for voters in Texas. Texas2020.org is a nonpartisan one-stop shop where people can get information on candidates, issues and other voting information — it also has a function that allows people to enter their address to find out who their state and federal representatives are.
"The purpose of the guide is to educate the public about the real reasons our nation is incapable of making progress on any of the issues we are facing, like the climate crisis, racial injustice, affordable healthcare and gun violence," Fant-Simon and Barkan said in a joint response email interview. "It's not the fault of one party or the other, or one candidate or the other.
"It's the system that is flawed, and until we fix it, we should expect more division, more disenfranchisement and more voter apathy. Armed with the facts on how to fix this mess, we hope people will be more motivated to vote and stay engaged between elections."
Fant-Simon and Barkan said they were motivated to create the website after they saw a video from RepresentUs, a nonpartisan, nonprofit advocacy organization that aims to reform the American political system.
"(The video) revealed the flaws in our political system and how we fix them — how to change how we elect our representatives and get better representation," they said. "Our state legislature determines the laws governing how our elections are run, including federal elections. Who we elect for these offices will have the power to fix what's wrong, or to maintain the broken system.
"If we vote for candidates who support these solutions, and we hold them accountable once in office, we can affect the change we need. But how do (voters) know which candidates support electoral reform? We ask them, and then we make sure every voter has access to their responses, then we create an electoral reform voter guide."
Fant-Simon and Barkan said they have spent about a year working overtime putting the guide together. The site officially launched on Aug. 1, and they have continued gathering candidates' responses and raising awareness of their platform.
"Since (the launch), we have been working hard to market on various social media platforms, newspapers and search ads," they said. "The website traffic has been steadily growing since mid-September. We have had almost 600,000 users who average about three minutes on the site. The average time a user spends on a site is less than 15 seconds, which is a crazy short amount of time to capture someone's attention, but we blew past that."
Fant-Simon and Barkan said the process of getting candidates to respond to their questions has been tedious and time consuming.
"Adjusting for the candidates running unopposed — who have no need to campaign — we received submissions from a little more than 50 percent of the candidates," they said. "The participation rate for incumbents was 14 percent compared to a 67 percent rate for challengers. This disparity makes sense when you realize incumbents are less incentivized to support changing a system that has worked for them.
"We used many methods — email, phone, social media — to motivate candidate responses and also encouraged constituents to personally contact their candidates."
Texas2020 is targeted towards all Texas voters, not just a certain group, Fant-Simon and Barkan said.
"The guide is intended to engage all Texans and all types of voters," they said. "However, some voters, even if they support electoral reform, may be too set in their voting habits to consider choosing candidates differently.
"First time voters, newish voters, voters who have opted out or given up may be more receptive to voting to strengthen democracy rather than voting on specific policy stances or by party affiliation."
The response to the voter guide has been positive so far, Fant-Simon and Barkan said.
"We have had some criticism surrounding our claim that the reforms are nonpartisan," they said. "For the record, the reforms are nonpartisan. Not agreeing with a reform doesn't make it partisan. A poor showing of Republican candidates didn't help optics, but incumbents and members of the party in power are understandably less inclined to embrace changing the system that favors them.
"Compiled responses from Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Independents and members of the Green Party illustrates just how nonpartisan these reforms are."
Work on the voter guide will continue even after the 2020 election cycle ends, Fant-Simon and Barkan said.
"On a local level, helping voters identify candidates who supported electoral reform was just the first step," they said. "Post-election, we expect those voters to continue to use Texas2020 to help identify the newly elected representatives who supported electoral reform while campaigning and hold them accountable.
"On a national level, a few organizations have expressed an interest in taking what we've created to advance electoral reform efforts in other states. We love this idea and will be developing a package for any organization to adapt to any state's specific needs."
As hard and time-consuming as the work has been to build Texas2020.org from the ground up, Fant-Simon and Barkan said they are pleased with the results they're seeing statewide.
"We are especially encouraged by young voter interest and turnout," they said. "We're thrilled to have this opportunity to reach voters who are becoming more aware of their voting power, the great responsibility they have to use it, and use it wisely."

Q: Confusion about length of module over different rings and Macaulay2 code about computing length of module. I was trying to compute some examples dealing with length of modules and got stuck with this simple example:
Let $R=k[t]/(t^2)$ where $k$ is a field and $J=(x^3)$ be the ideal of the polynomial ring $R[x]$. I want to compute the length $l_{R}(R[x]/J)$ and $l_{R[x]}(R[x]/J)$.
Using the Macaulay2 code, I found the length $l_{R[x]}(R[x]/J) =6$. (I don't know how to use Macaulay2 to compute $l_{R}(R[x]/J)$ though).
This is where I got confused. Is this true that the composition series of $R[x]/J$ over $R[x]$ is $0\subseteq (x^2) \subseteq (x) \subseteq R[x]/J$? If so, $l_{R[x]}(R[x]/J)=3$. Can we have a larger composition series here? If not, is it still true that if $R$ has finite length and $J$ is a monomial ideal in the polynomial ring, the length of $R[x_1,\ldots ,x_n]/J$ over $R[x]$ is the number of monomials that not in $J$ (as the case when $R$ is a field)? And I can't see why we can have a length-6 composition series for $R[x]/J$ over $R$.
Thank you in advance for any help!

A: In your series ideal $(x)$ is not even maximal: $R[x]/(x)=R$ which is not a field. A composition series of length six is
$$
0 \subset (x^2t) \subset (xt) \subset (x^2) \subset (x^2, t) \subset (x, t) \subset R[x]/J.

He's technically 22. He wouldn't know because he's a fuckup and he doesn't get a birthday.

Because she's not a psychopath.
Just to clarify my position, I'm describing their respective attitudes, not my own.
The bad guy can get whatever he does get when he has a gun pointed at you. But once you tied him up and unable to fight back, hurting him makes you the bad guy and not him.
… got it. I'm not sure if this is an argument? I agree with you, and everything in the narrative makes it clear David is a victim of this place. I was commenting on the fact that Eve isn't tamping down the aggression, likely because of how much she needs to actively stop this place and what it's doing, and how little she wants to complicate that with ambiguous moral considerations.
OMG. haven't been here in a while so i'm really excited that I have a whole chapter to get through…or at least a chunk. Eve's such a badass it makes Adsila look soft. This is an interesting development.
Also, i wonder what might happen if they did take him to earth. would he get the plague and die?
He already has it. Everyone in this lab does, with the exception of Eve and her fellow experiments. David was the product of an affair, so he was born naturally and is already infected with Roswell Syndrome.

-- "Light of the world," Jesus?
-- That's what I said.
-- And salt of the earth?
-- Yeah, I did, but I think I heard somewhere that YOU were "The Light of the World." Like in all capital letters.
-- So, what's the story?
-- Did you read the first reading for today's mass?
-- Did you see how the Prophet Isaiah laid out a whole program for Israel on behalf of the LORD?
-- Well, uh – ok, busted! I wasn't paying a lot of attention, I admit it.
-- So? What's the connection between ancient Israel's behavior and me being the "light of the world"?
-- That's nice, but I'm still waiting to understand the connection between all that and me.
"Here I am!" The Lord says, "I am with you." Who does that make you think of?
-- Jesus, remember when I kind of failed catechism class? Maybe you better keep talking.
-- No, Jesus, I don't get it. Just tell me in plain English how I can possibly be the light of the world…and also what the connection is between me and all of what Isaiah preached to ancient Israel.
-- Hmmm. You know, I used to have the same problem with Peter and the others back in the day. All right, ready? Here goes: the connection is – me. Jesus the Christ. When I say that you are the light of the world, I mean that as a member of my Body, you share in my vocation as Emmanuel, you know, "God with us." I mean that you're called to give light to the world. That's L-I-G-H-T in plain English.
-- Are you being sarcastic? What are you saying?
-- Not sarcastic, just straightforward. Look, you're baptized, right?
-- That makes you part of the Body of Christ -- my Body. That's not just a metaphor; it's a reality. As part of me, you're called to be doing the same things that Isaiah spoke of to Israel, things that I did during my public ministry. Those actions are part of who and what I am. Light happens when they are done, whether by me during my life as a preacher and healer in the first century or by you, in your life as one of my members in the 21st century. As Isaiah said, long ago: Light rises in the gloom – of which, I might add, there's still too much in the world. Get it now?
-- OMG, Jesus, now I'm afraid to ask you about "salt of the earth"!
-- No, seriously, I do get it. I'm part of you, called to take part in you and with you during this life of mine. I'm not off the hook just because I can say "Jesus is the Light of the World." If anything, that fact reinforces my call to be light myself. You're right about too much gloom, too: there's a lot of darkness out there. Listening to Isaiah – and you too, of course – shows me how to be light. And I've got to be light in order to give light.
-- Hey, I'm impressed -- now you're quoting my friend Marie Eugénie! Looks like you've got the makings of a disciple after all.
-- Yeah, just like Peter and the guys: a little slow on the uptake, but once I get it, I got it. Thanks, Jesus.

Reds at Cardinals Series Preview
Posted on April 20, 2018 by admin in Sports News
Starting tonight the St. Louis Cardinals host the Cincinnati Reds in a three-game series. The Reds enter the series with Jim Riggelman as their new manager after firing Bryan Price on yesterday. The decision was taken after the Reds lost 10 0f their last 11 and started the season 3-15.
The Cardinals are returning to Busch Stadium after embarking on a seven-game road trip to visit the Reds and Cubs, but Chicago's weather only allowed them to play two of the scheduled three matches. The Cards went 5-1 on the trip and now look forward to sweeping the Reds at home after doing the same in Cincinnati.

The Milwaukee County Zoo recently acquired two pairs of chestnut teals from the Pinola Preserve in Louisiana. This is a new species for the Zoo.
In the wild, these pretty dabbling ducks are found in Australia and Tasmania. They are one of the few duck species that forage for food in both fresh and salt water. The males are distinguished from the females by their iridescent green heads and necks. Since chestnut teals form monogamous, lifetime bonds, the Zoo hopes these pairs will breed in the future.
Visit the chestnut teals daily, in the Herb and Nada Mahler Family Aviary's free flight area.
Dabbling ducks find food/forage near the surface as opposed to diving ducks that feed underwater. Dabblers tend to have smaller feet, placed more forward on the body. Divers have larger feet (more useful in propelling them underwater) placed further back on the body.

Virginia man accused of beating wife with shower head
Posted: Jul 3, 2019 / 04:55 PM EDT / Updated: Jul 3, 2019 / 04:56 PM EDT
VERONA, Va. (AP) — A Virginia man accused of beating his wife with a shower head has been indicted by a county grand jury on malicious wounding charges.
Staunton News Leader obtained court records showing 66-year-old Dave Meadows is accused of causing "significant injuries" to his wife's head in September.
The 51-year-old victim told authorities she was taking a shower when her husband attacked her with the shower head she'd been using.
Augusta County Sheriff's Maj. Brian Jenkins said the woman had been arguing with Meadows about her being late for work and a lack of room in their bathroom.
Jenkins said the shower part had "imprinted into her head" during the attack.
The Fishersville man is free on a $10,000 bond and prohibited from contacting his wife pending an upcoming trial.

Wild fur from Canada's Northwest Territories is considered among the very best in the world. The Northwest Territories is a land which produces the largest quantity of the finest Canadian Sable, Lynx, Timber Wolf and Wolverine. The immense pride of the fur harvesters is evident in their production of the Wild Fur that will be selected and sold exclusively at Fur Harvesters Auction Inc. under the label Genuine Mackenzie Valley Furs™. The distinctive label, depicting a traditional Dene snowshoe, guarantees the buyer a single source of high quality, authentic NWT-harvested fur.
The Nature's Edge logo captures the essence of Nuanvut's sustainable harvest - one that continues to make a positive economic contribution to the community and preserves traditional activities that are the essence of their culture. Fur Harvesters Auction Inc. is the exclusive auction house for Nunavut's high quality Ringed Seal, Polar Bear, Arctic Wolf and Arctic Fox sold under the Nunavut Fine Furs brand.
"Our logo and its meaning."
Each face represents the traditional image of the Native and Non-native Fur Harvester. The Beaver is the hardest and most persistent worker in the world. The Beaver has also been traditionally the backbone of the fur industry. The maple leaf reflects the Canadian heritage of this industry. The two circles that surround the inner images represent the creator. He is within you and around you. They are also connected by small lines that represent our own connection with the Creator. The two circles with the connecting lines also represents a skin that is stretched out, an image well known in the fur industry.

Paul nearly has quadruple-double; Spurs top Lakers
New Orleans Hornets guard Chris Paul (3) steals the ball from Dallas Mavericks guard Jason Terry (31) during the second half of an NBA basketball game in Dallas, Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2009. The Hornets won 104-97. (AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez)
By The Associated Press, The Associated Press
Chris Paul made a big statement in Dallas. Down the road in San Antonio, the Spurs sent a message to the Los Angeles Lakers. Turning a point guard showdown with Jason Kidd into a rout, Paul nearly had a quadruple-double in New Orleans' 104-97 victory over Dallas on Wednesday night, finishing with 33 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds and seven steals.
"Every night I just try to take what the defense gives me," Paul said. "They were going under ball screens and forcing me to shoot, so that's what I had to do."
In San Antonio's first game against the Lakers since losing the Western Conference finals in five games last year, Roger Mason completed a three-point play with 10 seconds left to give the Spurs a 112-111 victory.
"I just didn't want to ruin it. I knew we needed that point," Mason said.
In other NBA games Wednesday, it was: Sacramento 135, Golden State 133 in triple overtime; Boston 118, New Jersey 86; Philadelphia 100, Portland 79; Indiana 110, Detroit 106 in overtime; New York 128, Washington 122; Chicago 102, Toronto 98; Oklahoma City 114, Utah 93; Atlanta 97, the Los Angeles Clippers 80; and Miami 102, Milwaukee 99.
In Dallas, Paul had his fourth triple-double of the season, one he's certain to savor because it came against Kidd, the active leader in the category and the guy who started ahead of him on the gold medal-winning U.S. Olympic team.
"Either you get the ball out of his hands and leave the shooters around him open or you let him beat you and that's what he did," Dallas star Dirk Nowitzki said.
New Orleans pulled ahead at the start of the fourth quarter, sending the Hornets to their first regular-season victory in Dallas since Jan. 24, 1998.
Jason Terry led Dallas with 28 points, Nowitzki had 20 points and 13 rebounds, and Kidd had seven points, seven assists and seven rebounds.
"I won't fault our effort," Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said. "We just didn't play as good as a game that we needed to play."
In San Antonio, Mason won it after Kobe Bryant hit a 3-pointer with 12 seconds left to give the Lakers a two-point lead. Mason finished with 18 points, going 3-of-4 from 3-point range and 7-of-11 overall.
"He has the confidence to do it, and he has the license to do it," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "We all trust him."
Manu Ginobili led San Antonio with 27 points, and Bryant had 29 for Los Angeles. Both teams are 10-2 in their last 12 games.
"It's tough to lose a game like that," Bryant said.
Kings 135, Warriors 133, 3OT
At Oakland, Calif., John Salmons hit a 17-footer with 1.6 seconds remaining in the third overtime and Sacramento held on to end a 12-game road losing streak.
Salmons finished with 25 points, a career-best 14 rebounds and seven assists for Sacramento, and Brad Miller had a season-high 30 points and a career-high 22 rebounds.
Jamal Crawford led Golden State with 35 points.
Celtics 118, Nets 86
At Boston, Paul Pierce scored 18 of his 22 points in the third quarter to lead Boston to its third straight victory.

Devin Harris led New Jersey with 17 points.
76ers 100, Trail Blazers 79
At Philadelphia, Andre Iguodala scored a season-high 29 points, and Lou Williams had 14 to lead Philadelphia to its fifth straight victory.
Iguodala made four of Philadelphia's season-high 11 3-pointers and just missed becoming the first Sixers player to score 30 points in a game this season.
Brandon Roy led Portland with 27 points.
Pacers 110, Pistons 106, OT

Knicks 128, Wizards 122
At New York, David Lee had 30 points and 10 rebounds, Al Harrington scored 27 points, and New York handed Washington its sixth straight loss.
Quentin Richardson added 26 points for the Knicks. Washington's Nick Young scored 33 points, establishing a career high for the third time in four games.
Bulls 102, Raptors 98
At Toronto, Derrick Rose scored 17 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter and added 10 assists for Chicago, and Luol Deng had 16 points and 14 rebounds.
Andrea Bargnani had a career-high 31 points and added 10 rebounds for Toronto.
Thunder 114, Jazz 93
At Oklahoma City, Jeff Green scored 23 points, Russell Westbrook added 22 and Kevin Durant had 21, and Oklahoma City used a 22-7 third-quarter run to take control.
The victory was the seventh of the season for the Thunder and their fourth in eight games.
Deron Williams had 25 points for Utah.
Hawks 97, Clippers 80
At Los Angeles, Josh Smith scored 26 points, Joe Johnson added 21 and Atlanta ended a four-game losing streak while handing Los Angeles its 12th straight loss.

Heat 102, Bucks 99
At Milwaukee, Daequan Cook hit six 3-pointers and had a career-high 24 points for Miami, and former Marquette star Dwyane Wade overcame a 5-for-20 shooting night with 17 points and 13 assists.
Luke Ridnour had 25 points for Milwaukee.

2013 Fukuoka JALT One-day Conference and Ordinary General Meeting
Date: Sunday, September 29th, 2013 Time: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Speaker: Plenary presentation: Barry O'Sullivan; plus Malcolm Swanson, Trevor Holster, Robert Cochrane, Bill Pellowe, J. Lake, Joseph Tomei, Kate Parkinson, Kathleen Fukuhara, Misuzu Okada, and Steve Paton
Short paper presentations by Malcolm Swanson, Trevor Holster, Robert Cochrane, Bill Pellowe, J. Lake, Joseph Tomei, Kate Parkinson, Kathleen Fukuhara, Misuzu Okada, and Steve Paton. The full schedule will be available on the Fukuoka JALT website. The one-day conference will also include their Ordinary General Meeting.
Plenary presentation by Dr. Barry O'Sullivan:
Localisation and Validation: making tests more accessible
In order to ensure that the language test, or any other educational test for that matter, is appropriate for a particular population we must take into consideration the profiles of individuals which typify this population. In addition, we should take into account the context in which the particular skills we are attempting to measure are performed. In time, this will mean that we must also ensure that any scoring system (which is an attempt to help us understand and communicate test performance) is also appropriate. Attempting to balance all of these variables is now referred to as localisation.
The importance of localisation was recognised when O'Sullivan and Weir (2011) and O'Sullivan (2011) began to re-conceptualise their model of test validation. While we are still working on operationalizing definitions of localisation, we have begun to learn how it operates in the real world of test development. Much of this experience has stemmed from the development of the recently launched British Council language testing service known as Aptis. This service is a new concept in language testing in that it is built around the concepts of flexibility and accessibility, key elements of localisation.
In this paper I will attempt to further define what aliquot localisation means in relation to test validation and development. In order to achieve this I will take examples of localisation that have been undertaken within the British Council Aptis testing service, when describing this service in some detail.
Barry O'Sullivan is Senior Advisor, English Language Assessment at the British Council, working with a team of developers on the creation of innovative assessment systems. He also advises government and corporate institutions around the world on behalf of the British Council on aspects of assessment. Barry is also Honorary Professor of Applied Linguistics at the University of Roehampton, London. He has written extensively on language testing and assessment and has presented his ideas at numerous international conferences. He has taught in Ireland, the UK, and South America and spent many years at Okayama University, Japan.

LG Display will prepare its own booth under the theme of "Our Technology, Your Innovation" and showcase its unique displays at three Zones of OLED TV, IT & Mobile, and Automotive.
First of all, LG will display its paper-like ultrathin 77-inch UHD Wallpaper TV. Due to OLED Technology, this TV has an excellent resolution and is so thin and light that it can be tightly attached to the wall, thereby maximizing the design effect. LG's 65-inch UHD Wallpaper TV panel which will be unveiled was selected as 'the Best Display of This Year' for its highest technology at the SID.
In addition, LG Display will showcase its 65-inch UHDCSO(Crystal Sound OLED) with a new function of display producing sound and 55-inch FHD transparent display making natural and transparent screen, which can show at a glance future displays that are being developed by LG Display.
LG Display applies in-TOUCH technology with a touch sensor embedded in panel to 24-inch monitor as well, while providing differentiated values to the IT market through its large and high-resolution displays. in-TOUCH technology doesn't need Touch Cover Glass, so it features not only a light and excellent touch function but also a more sophisticated design by reducing the thickness of panels and bezel.
LG Display will also unveil state-of-the-art IT products such as the world's largest 37.5-inch 21:9 curved monitor that maximizes immersion and 31.5-inch 8K monitor with high-resolution like reality.
LG Display suggests the future of automobiles, with its sophisticated design and excellent resolution in the rapidly growing automotive display field. By featuring multi-layers of 12.3-inch front display and transparent display, LG's automotive display provides a sense of three-dimensions similar to existing analog Cluster. Also, LG Display will prepare a display booth for visitors to experience various displays in car such as mirror display that can replace Room Mirror due to its high reflectivity of more than 75%.
LG Display's CTO(Chief Technology Officer), Kang, In Byeong said, "LG Display has made the world's first display' including IPS and OLED TV, and "LG Display will lead the next-generation display market with its continued technology development".

Shuleykin es un pequeño cráter de impacto lunar que se encuentra al sur del Mare Orientale, dentro del anillo que forman los Montes Rook. Se localiza justo en el límite de la cara oculta de la Luna, por lo que esta zona se divisa desde la Tierra durante los períodos de libración y de iluminación favorables, aunque el cráter solo se puede ver lateralmente.

Este cráter se formó después del impacto que originó el Mare Orientale. Tiene un borde circular de perfil afilado y paredes interiores que se inclinan hacia la pequeña plataforma central. No ha sido erosionado notablemente por impactos posteriores.

The Capella Hotel Group—which aims to elevate the luxury hotel stay with highly personalised guest services—is continuing its expansion with a foray into Thailand.
'With panoramic views of the majestic Chao PhThe US-based Capella Hotel Group will open its first hotel in Thailand.raya River, Capella Bangkok is a gateway to the eternal beauty of nature, and the urban oasis of the city. Inspired by the soul of riverfront life, there are 101 suites and villas with views of the river, offering both intimacy and immersion in this privileged position. Imbued with the personality of a boutique pied à terre, this philosophy extends across all the elements, from contemporary dining to the renowned Auriga spa'.
Some accommodations will come equipped with sky gardens and outdoor living space.
101 suites and villas each offer a different perspective of the beauty outside, with unobstructed views of the river. The location may be the centrepiece, but the accommodation is designed as a traveller's pied à terre: somewhere familiar, sophisticated and constructed around relaxation and exploration.
Capella Bangkok balances its presence at the heart of a bustling city with a cocoon of tranquillity once you step inside.
One of the most exciting features of the Capella Bangkok is cuisine by Argentinian chef Mauro Colagreco, whose Mirazur restaurant in the south of France, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea in Menton near the border with Italy racks up the awards.
Not only does he hold two Michelin stars, but Mirazur also has a high ranking on the "World's 50 Best" list. The Capella Bangkok will have two gourmet restaurants plus a riverfront terrace for al fresco dining with water views. What's more, the hotel will offer a bar specializing in desserts and creative craft cocktails.


It was the moment that Theresa May finally came to a decision. After months of prevarication and delays, a Number 10 aide sent a text message to journalists at 6.32am.
In just 55 words Mrs May had made clear what she felt unable to say during a two hour meeting with her Cabinet on Tuesday morning: she would ask Brussels for a three month delay to Brexit.


Large reductions in the abundance of exploited land predators have led to significant range contractions for those species. This paper shows similar responses in highly mobile tuna and billfish. It implies ecological extirpation of heavily exploited species across parts of their range.

Varda's portrait offers a corrective to the oftentimes even more egregiously inadequate representations that preceded it . . . it's clear that it isn't so much women that warrant reinventing, but our understanding of womanhood itself.
Through her character, and her sneakily masterful performance, we can navigate the film as an intensely confessional work by its director.
It's an incredibly poignant, if rather confused, meditation on the multiple valences of love and fidelity from an intergenerational perspective.
Despite the significant changes made to the original story's plot, the film preserves the written text's cold and detached tone towards the investigation of a tragedy, maintaining a suspenseful tension throughout.


WILLEMSTAD – The Minister of Traffic, Transportation and Spatial Planning Suzanne Camelia-Römer has decided to keep the former Director of the Curaçao Civil Aviation Authority (CCAA) Oscar Derby for another three months. This decision is based on the process Derby has been leading to bring Curaçao's aviation back to category 1.
His specific task is to assess the necessary final steps to be taken to take Curaçao from category 2 to category 1 in the qualifications of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). ICAO is the organization that is specialized in indications and standardizations for international aviation. Oscar Derby was the Director General of CCAA since 2013 until the end of July this year.
Deloitte has been working on an evaluation of Derby's tenure at the CCAA. This evaluation is almost done and it indicates that this is a good moment to delineate exactly what the critical ICAO elements are that need to be finalized. An option brought forth by Deloitte is that Derby can only continue as an advisor for a few months to assist with the ICAO requirements. Minister Camelia-Römer agreed with this because there is still a lot of work to be done and she prefers for Derby to concentrate on just one area of it.
Because of this decision, an Interim Director General has been appointed for a few months. The Minister also decided to start immediately with the process of appointing a new permanent director.


I originally typed most of this up about two years ago. I never finished it and it's been sitting in my draft posts ever since.
One of my good friends, Liz, is studying abroad in London this semester and mentioned that she was going to go check out a church that someone from UPC recommend. I asked if it was Holy Trinity Brompton. It was.
I think people from UPC enjoying going on pilgramiges to Holy Trinity Brompton.
I took the Tube down to South Kensington Station, hopped off and walked over. The outside of Holy Trinity Brompton looks like as you might imagine a traditional church front. But walk inside and everything's revamped, including the service. It's even more casual then UPC Sunday night. What amazes me though is that I knew 5 of the 7 songs we sang. Is there an email that goes out to all the churches that says, "All right, here's the list of songs we're singing. Add your songs to list and pass it on!" ?
Alright, it's me again, back in the present (so to speak).
I don't know if I was going to add any more to this post, so I'll leave it as it. I think the only other thing worth mentioning is that we (well, Mom) talked to the paster after the service was over and introduced herself as a member of UPC. They chatted for a while about Alpha.

Geopolitical concerns ahead of G-20 weigh on global stocks
Jul 05, 2017 • July 6, 2017 • 2 minute read
FILE - In this Wednesday, July 8, 2015, file photo, a statue of George Washington stands at Federal Hall near the flag-covered pillars of the New York Stock Exchange, in New York. Global shares are mostly higher in Europe, Wednesday, July 5, 2017, after Asia reversed early losses spurred by concern over North Korea's launch of a long-range missile on Tuesday. Trading was subdued after the U.S. Independence Day holiday and ahead of the summit of the Group of 20 industrial nations later in the week. (AP Photo/Bebeto Matthews, File)
LONDON — Tensions over recent North Korea's missile launch and unease ahead of the upcoming meeting of the Group of 20 leading industrial and developing countries weighed on global stock markets Thursday. Meanwhile, oil prices recouped some of their previous day's hefty losses.
KEEPING SCORE: In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was down 0.8 per cent at 7,310 while Germany's DAX fell 1 per cent to 12,328. The CAC 40 in France was 1.3 per cent lower at 5,115. Wall Street was poised for a lower opening, with Dow futures and the broader S&P 500 futures down 0.5 per cent.
Geopolitical concerns ahead of G-20 weigh on global stocks Back to video
GEOPOLITICS: With global leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, set to arrive for a G-20 summit in Hamburg, Germany, traders are cautious, not least because the meeting takes place in the wake of Pyongyang's recent missile test. On Thursday, South Korean jets and navy ships fired missiles into the ocean during drills, a display of military power two days after North Korea test-launched its first intercontinental ballistic missile. The North's ICBM launch, its most successful missile test to date, has stoked security worries in Washington, Seoul and Tokyo as it showed the country could eventually perfect a reliable nuclear missile capable of reaching the United States.
G-20: Meanwhile, competing visions of world trade are set to collide at the G-20 summit. Trump's "America First" approach will face off against the European Union, which on Thursday agreed on a broad free trade deal with Japan.
ANALYST TAKE: "The world seems to be at loggerheads, and this flow of negativity means that bullish sentiment is being held firmly in check," said Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at IG.
FED MINUTES: Minutes from the Federal Reserve's June meeting showed policymakers are weighing when to start letting its $4.5 trillion bond portfolio shrink, a major turning point for the U.S. economy. Some Fed officials want to announce the start of that process within a few months, while others want to wait longer.
ASIA'S DAY: Japan's Nikkei 225 fell 0.4 per cent to 19,994.06 while South Korea's Kospi edged down less than 0.1 per cent to 2,387.81. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index shed 0.2 per cent to 25,465.22. China's Shanghai Composite Index added 0.2 per cent to 3,212.44. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 gave up 0.1 per cent to 5,758.80.
OIL: Another reason why stocks have been choppy is related to the volatility in oil markets. On Thursday, benchmark U.S. crude added 68 cents to $45.81 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange, a day after it slumped $1.94, or 4.1 per cent. Brent crude, used to price international oils, rose 72 cents to $48.51 per barrel in London. In the previous session, it sank $1.82, or 3.7 per cent, to $47.79 a barrel.
CURRENCIES: The euro was up 0.3 per cent at $1.1383 while the dollar rose 0.1 per cent to 113.41 yen.


Take 4 minutes to understand how does the European Union carbon emissions trading scheme work.
What is EMISSIONS TRADING? What does EMISSIONS TRADING mean? EMISSIONS TRADING meaning - EMISSIONS TRADING definition - EMISSIONS TRADING explanation. Source: Wikipedia.org article, adapted under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ license. Emissions trading or cap and trade is a government-mandated, market-based approach to controlling pollution by providing economic incentives for achieving reductions in the emissions of pollutants. Various countries, states and groups of companies have adopted such trading systems, notably for mitigating climate change. A central authority (usually a governmental body) allocates or sells a limited number of permits to discharge specific quantities of a specific pollutant per time period. Polluters are required to hold permits in amount equal to their emissions. Polluters that want to increase their emissions must buy permits from others willing to sell them. Financial derivatives of permits can also be traded on secondary markets. In theory, polluters who can reduce emissions most cheaply will do so, achieving the emission reduction at the lowest cost to society. Cap and trade is meant to provide the private sector with the flexibility required to reduce emissions while stimulating technological innovation and economic growth. There are active trading programs in several air pollutants. For greenhouse gases, which may cause dangerous climate change, permit units are often called carbon credits. The largest greenhouse gases trading program is the European Union Emission Trading Scheme, which trades primarily in European Union Allowances (EUAs); the Californian scheme trades in California Carbon Allowances, the New Zealand scheme in New Zealand Units and the Australian scheme in Australian Units. The United States has a national market to reduce acid rain and several regional markets in nitrogen oxides.
The world's largest carbon emitting country has launched a program that offers companies an incentive to voluntarily cut pollution. CGTN's Li Jianhua reports.
This video discusses cap and trade, which is a system of marketable permits designed to address a negative externality such as pollution. With cap and trade, a quota is placed on the maximum amount of pollution and then firms are given permits that allow them to legally pollute a certain amount. Firms that invest in clean technology can sell their pollution credits to other firms instead of using them. This video uses a graph to show how a system of cap and trade and a corrective tax theoretically achieve the same outcome (the socially efficient equilibrium).

Both a carbon tax and a system of cap and trade can be used to achieve the socially efficient level of carbon emissions. However, these two methods differ based on a number of factors. This video discusses the pro's and con's of both the carbon tax and cap and trade. Edspira is your source for business and financial education.

With a decade of trading experience, Carbon Trade eXchange (CTX) has successfully facilitated millions of tonnes of Carbon Dioxide reductions. CTX enables buyers and sellers to transact carbon credits electronically in a transparent and secure environment. CTX is the first commercial partner to the United Nations CDM Registry, which makes it possible to access UNFCCC Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) for voluntary cancellation via the CTX global voluntary carbon market exchange.

Emissions trading or cap and trade is a government-mandated, market-based approach to controlling pollution by providing economic incentives for achieving reductions in the emissions of pollutants. Various countries, states and groups of companies have adopted such trading systems, notably for mitigating climate change.
A central authority (usually a governmental body) allocates or sells a limited number of permits to discharge specific quantities of a specific pollutant per time period. Polluters are required to hold permits in amount equal to their emissions. Polluters that want to increase their emissions must buy permits from others willing to sell them.Financial derivatives of permits can also be traded on secondary markets.
How does the emission trading scheme work?
March 14, 2007 Technological innovation in support of the environment will be a key component of the cost-effective mitigation of the greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change. In the current policy debate, political actors appear to have accepted, more or less without examination, the original expectation of economic theorists that cap-and-trade programs (CTPs), a type of emissions trading scheme, are more supportive of innovation than traditional environmental policy instruments. This talk will discuss how economic theory and empirical studies are starting to show mixed results on this issue. It will also characterize the innovation problem in climate change, explore the potential lessons for innovation that can be gleaned from the performance of existing air quality CTPs, and consider how various CTP design features under discussion could affect the innovation problem.

San Francisco-Based The Melt To Install Location Within The Shops At La Jolla
Heading into The Shops at La Jolla later this year is The Melt, a San Francisco-based fast-casual sandwich & comfort food eatery that currently has nearly 20 locations across California, Colorado and Texas.
Founded in 2011 by Jonathan Kaplan, whose video camera the Flip sold to Cisco Systems in 2009 for $590 million, The Melt is a chain of casual restaurants that currently has 19 locations in three states. Recently appointed Chief Executive Officer Ralph Bower - formerly CEO of Pei Wei Asian Diner with executive experience at Popeyes, KFC, and Domino's Pizza - hopes to open 6 more location in San Diego County in the coming years.
The menu at The Melt obviously includes a variety of melt & grilled cheese sandwiches, as well as cheeseburgers made with Angus & Wagyu patties, natural chicken sandwiches, salads, desserts, and sides like fries, mac'n cheeses and tomato soup.

The La Jolla location will also serve an array of beer and wine.
The Melt is anticipated to debut this Fall at 8849 Villa La Jolla Drive, Unit 305, within The Shops at La Jolla retail complex. For more information, visit themelt.com.


The Lincoln City player ratings for the new FIFA 18 game have been announced.
The Imps will feature on the popular EA Sports video game for the first time in seven years following their promotion from the National League.
It will be available to buy in shops nationwide from Friday, September 29.
However, fans keen to get a sneak-peak can log onto their accounts online using the web app and start playing popular features such as FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT).
As part of FUT, players in the game receive an overall rating out of 100, with keys stats such as pace, shooting and passing also graded.
They are also given a coloured grading – either bronze, silver or gold.
The majority of Lincoln players are ranked as bronzes with a few making the step up to silver.
Can you name the Imps player?
Who are the Imp's best five players?
Michael Bostwick is Lincoln's highest rated player on the game.
That is perhaps not surprising as the industrious midfielder was hailed a coup of a signing by Danny Cowley after he was named as League 1 side Peterborough United's player of the season last term.
Sean Raggett clearly impressed the EA team as well as the Norwich City scouts as the towering centre-half is named as City's joint second highest rated player.
He shares that rating with new recruit Neal Eardley.
The experienced full-back has spent his career playing in the higher divisions as well as internationally, and with a number of impressive performances in a City shirt, it would be hard for any fan to say he doesn't warrant it.
Alex Woodyard is next on the list, although his rating of 64 means the reigning Imps player of the season is only a bronze.
However, having impressed in his maiden season in the EFL so far, there is every opportunity his rating will improve over the course of the season.
Two speed demons complete the top five.
Matt Green drops from a silver to a bronze as his '66' rating becomes a '63'. However, after an impressive start to life an Imp, it is surely only a matter of time before that is reviewed by the bosses of EA.
Nathan Arnold also receives an identical rating after helping secure the Imps the title with a number of important assists and goals.
Billy Knott and Sam Habergham- 62.
Luke Waterfall, Matt Rhead and Rob Dickie - 61.
Josh Ginnelly, Jordan Maguire-Drew and Paul Farman - 60.
Harry Anderson and Josh Vickers - 59.
Callum Howe, Ollie Palmer and Sean Long - 58.
Matthew Henson, 25, who has been a Lincoln City supporter all of his life, said: "My view on the ratings vary. It is nice to see they have kept Raggett as an Imp on the game, especially as he is one of the few silver cards players we have along with Bostwick and Eardley.
"On the flip side, [Matt] Rhead has been given a better physical rating than [Adebayo] Akinfenwa which was surprising.
"Nathan Arnold is quicker than Daniel Sturridge which I had to laugh about, but also quicker than our own Harry Anderson which again was surprising.
"Every club will have people moaning that certain players should be higher or lower, but I think it is good just to be back on the game as it gets the club's name out there and it will also be good to see other players around the world using Lincoln players in the Ultimate Team mode or even trying to recreate the FA Cup in the career mode."
Thomas Patten, 21, who has followed the Imps since he was 4-years-old, added: "I think the ratings are quite reasonable apart from Rhead's pace and Arnold's shooting as i think they should be a bit higher, but really I cant complain with the overall ratings.
"It's great and I cant wait to use the team online and start a career mode with Lincoln."


Health equity refers to the study of differences in the quality of health and healthcare across different populations. Health equity is different from health equality, as it refers only to the absence of disparities in controllable or remediable aspects of health. It is not possible to work towards complete equality in health, as there are some factors of health that are beyond human influence. Inequity implies some kind of social injustice. Thus, if one population dies younger than another because of genetic differences, a non-remediable/controlable factor, we tend to say that there is a health inequality. On the other hand, if a population has a lower life expectancy due to lack of access to medications, the situation would be classified as a health inequity. These inequities may include differences in the "presence of disease, health outcomes, or access to health care" between populations with a different race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or socioeconomic status.
