#33 The Truth About Lies with Dan Ariely 0
On this episode of the Knowledge Project, I'm joined by the fascinating Dan Ariely. Dan just about does it all. He has delivered 6 TED talks with a combined 20 million views, he's a multiple New York Times best-selling author, a widely published researcher, and the James B Duke Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics at Duke University.
For the better part of three decades, Dan has been immersed in researching why humans do some of the silly, irrational things we do. And yes, as much as we'd all like to be exempt, that includes you too.
In this captivating interview, we tackle a lot of interesting topics, including:
The three types of decisions that control our life and how understanding our biases can help us make smarter decisions
How our environment plays a big role in our decision making and the small changes we can make to automatically improve our outcomes
The "behavioural driven" bathroom scale Dan has been working on to revolutionize weight loss
Which of our irrational behaviors transfer across cultures and which ones are unique to certain parts of the world (for example, find out which country is the most honest)
The dishonesty spectrum and why we as humans insist on flirting with the line between "honest" and "dishonest"
3 sneaky mental tricks Dan uses to avoid making ego-driven decisions
"Pluralistic ignorance" and how it dangerously affects our actions and inactions (As a bonus, Dan shares the hilarious way he demonstrates this concept to his students on their first day of class)
The rule Dan created specifically for people with spinach in their teeth
The difference between habits, rules, and rituals, and why they are critical to shaping us into who we want to be
This was a riveting discussion and one that easily could have gone for hours. If you've ever wondered how you'd respond in any of these eye-opening experiments, you have to listen to this interview. If you're anything like me, you'll learn something new about yourself, whether you want to or not.

#32 Earning Your Stripes with Patrick Collison 0
On this episode of the Knowledge Project Podcast, I chat with Patrick Collison, co-founder and CEO of the leading online payment processing company, Stripe. If you've purchased anything online recently, there's a good chance that Stripe facilitated the transaction.
What is now an organization with over a thousand employees and handling tens of billions of dollars of online purchases every year, began as a small side experiment while Patrick and his brother John were going to college.
During our conversation, Patrick shares the details of their unlikely journey and some of the hard-earned wisdom he picked up along the way. I hope you have something handy to write with because the nuggets per minute in this episode are off the charts. Patrick was so open and generous with his responses that I'm really excited for you to hear what he has to say.
Here are just a few of the things we cover:
The biggest (and most valuable) mistakes Patrick made in the early days of Stripe and how they helped him get better
The characteristics that Patrick looks for in a new hire to fit and contribute to the Stripe company culture
What compelled he and his brother to move forward with the early concept of Stripe, even though on paper it was doomed to fail from the start
The gaps Patrick saw in the market that dozens of other processing companies were missing — and how he capitalized on them
The lessons Patrick learned from scaling Stripe from two employees (he and his brother) to nearly 1,000 today
How he evaluates the upsides and potential dangers of speculative positions within the company
How his Irish upbringing influenced his ability to argue and disagree without taking offense (and how we can all be a little more "Irish")
The power of finding the right peer group in your social and professional circles and how impactful and influential it can be in determining where you end up.
The 4 ways Patrick has modified his decision making process over the last 5 years and how it's helped him develop as a person and as a business leader (this part alone is worth the listen)
Patrick's unique approach to books and how he chooses what he's going to spend his time reading
...life in Silicon Valley, Baumol's cost disease, and so, so much more.
Patrick truly is one of the most warm, humble and down to earth people I've had the pleasure to speak with and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation together. I hope you will too!

Boca Museum Bands Artists, Patrons Together for Online Fundraiser
John Thomason
As an in-person gathering, the Boca Raton Museum of Art's annual January fundraiser has become one of the infinite casualties of COVID-19. But as a revamped online initiative, the fundraiser is already thriving, offering creative ways to support the museum in a time of existential need.
Titled "An Irresistible Urge to Create!," which is also the name of the museum's major January exhibition of outsider art, this season's fundraiser offers a crowdfunding-style platform for supporters to sponsor the museum at one of six tiered levels, with increasingly enticing rewards for each. Contributions of $1,000 receive an "Irresistible Gift Box"—a kind of haute swag bag featuring artist-designed beach towels, pillow covers and cocktail sets, along with commemorative T-shirts and face masks.
Work from "An Irresistible Urge to Create!"
Deeper-pocketed donors who choose to "level up" receive the gift box plus additional perks: For $1,500, a print of a work by one of the outsider artists in "An Irresistible Urge to Create!"; for $2,500, a sculpture by artist Carol Prusa and a private behind-the-scenes tour of the museum; for $5,000, an original work by a member of the Art School faculty and a private hosted event at the museum.
Jeff Whyman
A $10,000 donation gets you an original sculpture by Jeff Whyman, a Delray-based artist whose solo exhibition is currently on display at the museum, while a top-level $25,000 contribution earns you a commissioned portrait by renowned painter Paul Gervais, a private champagne and dessert reception for 10, and a set of Murano glasses.
"Never has creativity been more needed, so we looked to the most creative among us to make our fundraising campaign unique," says Irvin Lippman, executive director of the museum. "It's all part of our effort this year to explore the Irresistible Urge to Create—a theme taken from our upcoming exhibition of outsider art. Those artists, who worked outside the margins of society, shared the overwhelming personal motivation to make art. This year we commissioned new works directly from artists in our community to help us thank our donors and to underscore the importance of supporting local artists."
The funds will contribute to the museum's ongoing community programs, and donations are being accepted now through Jan. 15. To participate—and contribute any amount of money—click here.

Jon Hamm: Kim Kardashian comments 'not personal,' but not wrong
March 14, 2012 | 11:12 am
As the Jon Hamm-Kim Kardashian "feud" goes on -- and we use that term very lightly -- we can be sure that one thing the "Mad Men" star said is true: "Stupidity is certainly celebrated." And we're apparently in the middle of a party.
"It's surprising to me that it has become remotely a story," Hamm told E! News. "I don't know Ms. Kardashian, I know her public persona."
"I would never say anything personal about anyone that I have not met," the actor told "Access Hollywood" on Tuesday night, saying that his remarks had been taken out of context.
Here's Hamm's Elle UK comment, minus the context, minus an amusing expletive: "'Whether it's Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated. Being ... [an] idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you're rewarded significantly."
That's not Hamm's only opinion on not-so-nice things Hollywood types profit from. "This industry is populated by a lot of narcissistic, mean-spirited, horrible people who get rewarded for being narcissistic, mean-spirited and horrible," he told Playboy in an interview for its April issue.
(Shoot -- stupid is starting to look like a compliment.)
Parse the Kardashian comment and the defense Hamm presented to E! makes some sense: "What I said was meant to be more on pervasiveness of something in our culture, not personal, but she took offense to it and that is her right."
Kardashian on Monday had noted that although she did not know Hamm, she respected him and believed he was entitled to his opinion. However, she said: "Calling someone who runs their own businesses, is a part of a successful TV show, produces, writes, designs, and creates, 'stupid,' is in my opinion careless."
So who's stupid now? There are so many choices:
Was it Hamm, for invoking gossip hot-buttons like Kardashian and Paris Hilton? Or Kardashian for taking time to take offense? Or folks in the media for noticing Hamm's Elle UK quote in the flood of "Mad Men" press and putting it under a microscope with little context?
Hamm, whose series starts up again March 25, would choose the latter. "I said what I said" about the phenomenon of reality TV, he told "Access Hollywood," and he stands by it. "I just wish it would have been reported correctly."
Meanwhile, Paris Hilton is actually looking pretty smart in all this, for going happily on with her Twitter life and not saying a thing.
Hamm is, however, playing it very smart in one area: He tells Playboy "it's been awhile" since he's had sex outside.
"In the era of TMZ, I don't think outdoor sex is a particularly good idea. It's one of those things that sound way better than they actually are. There's something not sexy about all the twigs and bugs and sand. You end up with stuff in places you don't want it."
Wise man.

The Boeing 747, which turns 50 this Sunday, slashed airfares like no other plane in history, since the Douglas DC-3, to make travel affordable for all.
The incredible DC-3 was the first plane that was able to make money just hauling passengers and freed airlines from restrictive mail contracts, while the 747 freed the world's population to travel wherever they liked.
Bill Gates said that the 747 was "the world first world wide web" as is smashed barriers between people and countries.
In fact, when the sponsor of the 747 Pan American World Airways' President Juan Trippe took delivery of the 747, he said we are in a race between the 747 and the ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile) and he said I believe the 747 will win.
When the 747 was introduced in 1970 the airfare from Australia to London and return was the equivalent of 24 weeks average weekly earnings for an Australian.
By 1990 it was about five weeks average weekly earnings and by 2000 two weeks. Today it is below one week's earnings.
The 747 was a mass travel dream of Trippe and Boeing's chief Bill Allen.
Trippe had started mass travel in 1948 when he introduced economy class onto 70 seat DC-4s.
Pan Am annual report showing the difference in size between the 747 and 707.
The secret was the new high bypass engines that could produce over twice the thrust of the existing engines could do it at the time.
At the time the most powerful engine on the 189-seat Boeing 707 or Douglas DC-8 produced 19,000lbs of thrust, whereas the 366-seat 747-100's engines would produce 43,500lbs of thrust.
A Pan Am Hostess in the engine of a DC-8.
But that was only part of the story with fuel economy the big ticket.
The 747-100 used 33 percent less fuel than the Boeing 707-320C it would replace.
However, that was just the start.
When Boeing first delivered the 747, economy class was in a generous configuration of 2-4-3 with up to 10cm more legroom that today.
Sir Freddie Laker with his "no frills" Skytrain DC-10 jumbo flights were to change all that.
He slashed fares by two-thirds across the North Atlantic in 1977 and he had applied to fly to Australia and Hong Kong.
Airlines responded by cramming more passengers into their 747s and DC-10s to cut fares.
That move spawned both business class and then later premium economy classes as airlines sought to cater for all pockets and desires for space.
But for the 747, the same engine technology that would enable it to dominate the world's air routes was also going to be its undoing.
As engines became more fuel efficient and reliable it enabled aircraft manufacturers to develop aircraft like the 365-seat Boeing 777 and the 300-seat Airbus A330 which slashed fuel used per passenger dramatically.
And they were much easier to fill than a 747.
Compared to the first 747, the Boeing 777-300ER cut the fuel burnt per passengers by about 35 percent, while the Boeing 787-9 is almost 50 percent more fuel efficient per passenger.
And the new Boeings and Airbus A350 can fly much further than a 747.

It used to be that a 4 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload was all it took for an internet connection to be considered "broadband," and for the mid-to-late 1990s, it WAS blazing fast. The key word in that last sentence is "WAS", and a couple of weeks ago the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has just flipped that definition on its ear. FCC commissioners voted 3-2 in favor of dramatically upping the minimum broadband threshold: Now ALL internet service providers will have to offer speeds of AT LEAST 25 Mbps down/3 Mbps up (which is a much better minimum that 4/1) if they want to label their offering as "broadband". Here's some perspective: the average American home broadband connection pulls down around 11 Mbps, while approximately 17 percent of Americans technically (by new definition) no longer have broadband internet.

Friends, I'm a hot mess today as we are waiting to hear about pre-school admission. I know that may sound absurd, but around here, such is reality for lots of folks this time of year. I attempted to seek some zen by going to a rigorous yoga class this morning. My over-stimulated mind couldn't quite become one with my breath so I left ten minutes early in the hopes that today was one of those on which the mail comes ridiculously early instead of curiously late. As I'm still glued to my front window and have refused to leave the house since returning home at 11:15, today was, obviously, not the former. At first I thought I was merely curious, just ready to know one way or the other about where my little Ol will be next school year. However, during yoga I found myself both competitive and frustrated which is a horrible, silly combo in any situation but particularly one in which you are (supposed to be) your own little island of tolerance and respect. Your practice is your own, and everyone else's should be neither here nor there. This projection and subsequent realization was my first clue that curiosity was not the most accurate word for the sensation coursing through my body. Nope, friends, that would be nerves. Plain and simple. I am a gigantic ball of myopic anxiety. My insides feel like an overcharged battery just begging for the jumper cables to be removed.
Because I have been stationed on my living room couch for so long now, I can tell you that I have spied our postman and know he'll probably be here within the hour. I saw him across the way, heading north, emptying his bag of deliveries with patience and calm. It took some restraint not to tell out from my front stoop, "Yoo-hoo, Mr. Postman, PLEASE COME OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!" T would have been mortified and I'm trying model sanguine behavior for Jack.
I don't think it's working. I will say that J tested for his purple belt today, passed and was also awarded his first-ever trophy. We are very proud of our cutie!


The World Cup is in full swing this week in Moscow, and millions are riveted by the action. We Americans weren't invited to the party; Team USA didn't make the cut. (Neither did the Netherlands or Italy, which, for Italians, was an omen of Armageddon.) Still, along with lots of our customers, I'm finding the games thrilling.
Sure, soccer is mostly a second-class sport in the U.S. We feast on baseball, football, basketball, and hockey. Sometimes, we'll even take a gander at golf. But soccer? That's been a game for the rest of the world.
But I have to admit: I've gotten hooked on the World Cup. Part of the attraction, I think, is the intensity of fans' loyalty to their teams. I love when the cameras cut away from the game in Moscow to show fans watching a televised game back home in Peru or Brazil, erupting in joy over a goal or agonizing over a missed shot.
No wonder they call soccer "the beautiful game." Seeing the passion that millions have for this global game is awe-inspiring.
World Cup fans, you'll get a warm welcome this weekend from us at FCG. Whether you're rooting for Peru or crying for Argentina, we're with you. You're cheering for tiny Iceland? Go for it! Who cares if Team USA wasn't invited to Moscow? This party is too much fun not to crash.


It is possible to say that your consciousness can be equated with what you are thinking about. If your consciousness, your personal consciousness, is a vibration, then you vibrate according to your thoughts.
Please don't get a guilt complex, beloveds, for do not expect world perfection from yourself. You live in a world where varied thoughts swirl around, and they are not all high. Thoughts are in the air, and some thoughts that you would rather not have will pop up in your mind. Beloveds, I am not telling you to weigh every thought. I am telling you, as I have always told you, to think about that which gives you joy and upliftment. You are not to rigorously force thoughts in or force them out. Lean toward the thoughts that uplift. As best you can, easily let the rest go.

To teach is to learn twice, as they say. I think it's important to be up front with your own abilities and not present yourself as an expert if you're just a language enthusiast. Do small, bite-sized lessons, share them and try to get feedback from fluent and near-fluent speakers, to make sure you aren't making incorrect assertions. It's also good to get feedback from new learners; the goal for me is to take something that's seemingly complex, and explain it in a way that a beginner will learn at least one new thing. My tendency is to over-explain, because all the information is connected in my brain and I feel like I have to explain it all for people to get the whole picture, but that's actually a bad teaching method because people can only handle so much new information before the law of diminishing returns sets in.
I've often thought of making Japanese lessons, and in the past I actually have made a few worksheets to explain grammar points... but I'm sure I'm still tumbling down the leeward slope of "mount stupid" on the Dunning-Kruger chart, as I'm constantly discovering new things I didn't know in Japanese.

People often say Japanese is one of the hardest I am not so sure at least as far as spoken goes it is rather regular and in many ways easier than English in my opinion. The written part dealing with on and kun readings of kanji can be more difficult than say just hangul. I guess one problem for the English speaker is the grammer is flipped around. Japanese is SOV and English is SVO.
In my experience investigating languages i can say certainly that japanese is the most difficult.
Japanese is definitely easier than English grammatically. It's the writing system that makes it difficult.
I learned english with only a dictionary and i understand any book in english.i wouldn't say the same about japanese.japanese grammar is indeed more complex.
If you wrote the above without any translation aids after learning English only with a dictionary that's very impressive indeed.
Japanese books are written using a non-latin character set. That's nothing to do with grammar. However I agree it may be harder to get started. Without some very fundamental knowledge about the language you can't use a Japanese dictionary. For example for English you can look up the words "ate" and "eat." And for words like "talked" and "talking" you can probably figure out the relevant word in the dictionary is "talk." Japanese is similar but you need to know enough to figure out that "tabemasu" "tabemashita" "tabeta" tabekunakatta" etc. all lead back to "taberu" (eat) in the dictionary. But once you know a verb such as see you can very easily determine how to say "see" "saw" "seeing" etc even if you have never seen the word before. But in English there's no way to know that the past tense of "see " is "saw" without memorizing it.
Anyway we say it's easier because the basic grammar rules for Japanese don't have many exceptions like English especially for things like for verb tenses as above.

Apologies in advance if this is a bit soapbox-y and strays from the original topic, but since the conversation has gone in that direction...
It's always struck me as rather pointless to talk about the "difficulty" of languages in a vaccuum. How "difficult" a language depends on how similar or different a language is to the learner's native language in all the various possible ways that could manifest itself.
Chinese and Japanese both use kanji, which could give a native Chinese speaker learning Japanese a certain advantage, but they're also completely different grammatically (whereas Korean, for example, is much closer to Japanese in that regard, to the degree that it is often easier for native Korean speakers to develop natural and fluent Japanese speech).
English and Japanese are both notoriously difficult for speakers of the other language because they share almost nothing in common in terms of grammar, sentence structure, the writing system, vocabulary (outside of some loanwords, but even those are often misleading)...anything, really.
And as an aside, I tend to be a bit skeptical when people (sorry, mdchachi!) talk about Japanese grammar being "easy" because it doesn't have as many irregular verbs, etc. as English, or describe the writing system as the single most difficult part of the language.
I see many second-langauge speakers of Japanese (including myself no doubt to some extent, despite my continued best efforts) who have been learning the language for years and achieved a degree of fluency/proficiency, yet still are not immune to occasional (or more than occasional) errors with particles and awkward phrasing that no native speaker would ever make. Expressing oneself naturally in Japanese and truly understanding in full the nuances of Japanese sentences/utterances is inherently a "difficult" skill for native English speakers to acquire for reasons that have nothing to do with kanji (which, though imposing at first, at the end of the day are just something that needs to be memorized and internalized).
(edited a bit for clarity)

What you're talking about is achieving native fluency. I'm constantly reminded when I read @Toritoribe 's various answers to people's questions how little I know and that I'm nowhere close to native. Similarly I feel the same way about non-native English speakers when I read @hirashin 's questions about English. I still feel that as a second language learner -- at a basic level not considering keigo and all that -- Japanese is "easier" until the written language comes into the picture. Of course this is from the perspective of an English speaker who only knows two languages so I'm far from an expert on the subject.
Oh, don't get me wrong—I understand where you're coming from, and when you put it that way, I'd find myself hard-pressed to completely disagree with you. (Though I'd argue that what I'm saying holds true even for achieving "advanced proficiency" without going all the way to "native fluency", as the latter is essentially an impossibly high bar to clear for an adult second-language learner.)
To reframe it, I suppose the point I was trying to make is that the "difficulty" of kanji, keigo and the like are more superficially evident, while the difficulty of the subtle nuances of particles, relative clauses, subtle phrasing distinctions and whatnot tends a bit more under-the-surface and deceptive. I've found that it's often easy for learners to disproportionately on the former and kind of take the latter for granted, which is I guess why I have a tendency to try to argue the other position.
As an aside, and just personally speaking, for a long time I found keigo much easier than speaking informally, simply because the former has clear rules and set phrasings that can be followed, while the latter requires a lot of subjective "feel" that can only come from exposure. I started learning Japanese in an academic setting and it wasn't until I graduated and came to Japan that I was interacting with natives in casual situations on a regular basis (I was also an antisocial loser back then ), so reading/writing and keigo came much easier to me than natural friendly conversation (at least for the first few years).
So even for native speakers of English who only know the two languages, I suspect experiences can vary widely depending on one's learning environment, personality, and so on and so forth.
I certainly agree with your points but I had to defend mine just a little. Considering how little I know it's amazing that I am operating in Japanese in my daily life both at work and at home as much as I do. Thank God for all the electronic crutches we have available to us these days!

We could also get into what does it mean to say one can speak a language. I took 7 languages but I certainly do not speak them. At one point in my life I could kind of get by in 3 now I am down to two with Japanese used at home to attempt to raise my kids to be billingual (in addition to going to Japanese school). My first hanzi were Chinese (Mandarin) in elemetary school but I remember so little. Speaking is not native, I guess basic daily conversation? What is fluent? flows well is what I figure even if we have an accent and make mistakes. I certainly disagree with Issac and figure he must be quite young to make such a statement definitively claiming Japanese is the most difficult. yes the grammer is different from English and I will never get to native level but I find it more easier than some. I got to see more of some weirdness from English by way of my Japanese wife he speaks rather limited English, I think English is a bit of a mess due to its history. On Chinese sure the grammar may be a bit easier for an English speaker but the tones are not nor the hanzi.

I have many languages grammar books and dictionnaries and books in different languages and i've discovered that i can read more easily arabic,chinese,korean..that japanese.when i read a japanese grammar book(dictionary of basic japanese) i was amazed as wrote bentenmusume above by the the difficulty of the subtle nuances of particles, relative clauses, subtle phrasing distinctions...etc.anyone that have read that book(and more advanced ones) know about what i'm speaking.
Yes, those Dictionaries of Basic/Intermediate/Advanced Japanese Grammar (the ones by Makino and Tsutsui, yes?) were among my favorite resources back when I was learning the language in university, and later teaching/tutoring it in grad school. I recommend them to all learners.
But the good news is that if you already have an appreciation for these subtle distinctions, you have a much better chance at mastering/internalizing them (with enough practice and exposure, of course), as compared to another language learner who doesn't notice/care about them at all.
In any event, if you're motivated to learn the language and have good resources at your side, I don't imagine there's anything stopping you from improving your skills. I hope you'll continue to post here with your questions and thoughts on the language as you progress through your studies.
Thank God for all the electronic crutches we have available to us these days!
Yeah, you're preaching to the choir here. I shudder every time I have to look at my phone to remember how to write a kanji that I would have known cold back in my college or grad school days. Being able to use IME 変換 helps me come off as far more erudite than the utter fool I'd appear to be if I was writing out all my professional correspondence by hand.

I've decided to take a course.
I have another question for you, do you want to take Japanese only because it is hard or do you want to do something with it? Either way is OK. As I mentioned I took courses in many languages (rather than glancing at a couple books and making definitive proclamations about the languages) but many of them I did not have much I wanted to do with them other than some curiosity about the language so they basically went away. If you want to retain a language you need to have something you want to do with it, not sure that is your goal though.
My contact with japanese was with a pocket japanese dictionary.i was attracted inmediately.and i looked for more about japanese.in the course of my search as i investigated more about the structure of japanese it became more beatiful and i fall in love with the language.i have to say that its difficulty also amazed me and attracted me.
How you learned your current japanese? What's your level of japanese?
did I misunderstand the original post? I thought you said "make a course," but looks like you meant to write "take a course"?

Lexi Ramonetti nets PK winner for Northport

By Owen O'Brien owen.o'brien@newsday.com Updated September 17, 2018 9:56 PM
Lexi Ramonetti is used to being involved in penalty kicks, but not on the side of the ball she found herself Monday. But following a handball inside the goalkeeper's box and a moment of confusion for the Northport girls soccer team, Ramonetti was setting up to deliver a game-changing kick.
"We haven't exactly practiced penalty kicks much this season," Ramonetti said. "So I kind of looked around like 'So, who's taking it?' And everyone was like 'Lexi you take it.' I was like 'No, no, no.'"
In the past, Ramonetti has only been on the receiving end of penalty kicks — a longtime goalkeeper who is playing midfield. But on Monday, she was the one whom coach Aija Gipp turned to give the Tigers a chance of a lead.
"I put the ball down, I know because I'm also a goalkeeper, you never look up and look at any side," Ramonetti said. "You always keep your eyes down or not focus on the net, and I knew low and hard would just seal the deal."
And that's exactly what she did, ripping a shot for the game's lone goal with 9:26 remaining in the first half as Northport defeated host West Islip, 1-0, in Suffolk I girls soccer Monday.
"I wanted to try to give her that opportunity because she was so close to getting a goal," said Gipp, as Ramonetti had a shot hit off the post earlier in the game. "So I just went with that."
Shortly after her goal, however, Ramonetti left after getting her hand stepped on. But she wouldn't stay out for long.
"My coach was like 'Do you want to play?' and I was like 'Of course I'm going to play,'" Ramonetti said. "I don't need my hand. It's not my foot, it's not my knee, I'm going back in."
West Islip (3-1-1) applied pressure on Northport (4-1) throughout, but the Tigers' backline featuring Izzy Yeomans, Olivia Mincone, Maddy Wasilus, Julia Koenig and Renee Cormier along with Bailey Piper with 14 saves did a good job at limiting scoring opportunities.
"We knew coming into this game that they were going to play a lot of long balls," Piper said. "But you have to be confident coming out and that's how you're going to get the ball."
And even though Ramonetti was on an unfamiliar side of the field for her penalty kick, she enjoyed being in more control for a change.
"As a keeper, you don't exactly have control of where it's going, it's a guessing game," Ramonetti said. "You either go left, or right, or you don't go at all and as a shooter, you're all in."

Expanding your firm is a sign that you would soon become one of the most well known companies from the market. But, expanding implies investing a part of the money you have earned, and it is advisable to not spend all the money you have in purchasing a new space and improving the services, because you have to be sure that you would have something left for day to day living. In addition, you might have to change the location of your business, and this implies selling the space and buying a new one. However, you would have to pay taxes for the sold property, and you would lose a lot of money, you can use to buy a more suitable space for your business. There is a possibility to not pay these taxes if you choose to exchange your property instead of selling it, but for this, it is advisable to collaborate with a 1031 exchange company, because they are experts in this domain.
What does the exchange imply?
You might not have heard about this type of exchange, so you should know, that it offers you as an owner of a commercial space, the possibility to exchange it with another one of the same type, and defer the taxes. In this way, you would be able to purchase a new one at the same price, or a higher one. You should not choose to exchange it with a space that is listed at a lower price, because you would have to pay taxes for the difference of money you have not used. You should collaborate with an intermediary for this process, because you are not allowed to hold the money from the sale of your property. You have the possibility to move your business in one of the states of the USA, because when you opt for 1031 exchange, you are allowed to exchange your property with one from the states members. So, if you consider that you would earn more money in another place, you can move the location of your space. Also, you can change a single property, for two or even three, in case they are listed together at the same price as the one you owe now.
When you expand your business, you have to promote the new services and products you are offering from this point on. Moreover, in case you decide to change the location of the firm, you would have to let your clients know about it, so what better way to this is, than investing in a marketing campaign? For being able to save money, you should focus your campaign in the online medium, because if you have a website of the company, you would only have to ask professional copywriters to write promotional articles and post them on well-known websites. In present times, people are looking online when they want to buy a certain product or service, so you should not spend money on radio and TV advertising. These are some smart ways of saving money when you expand your business, so make sure to consider them during the process.

This morning, Donald Trump Jr., Biff from Back to the Future, appeared on Fox & Friends in what I can only imagine is a sad attempt to get his father's attention on President Trump's birthday. Donj did this by embracing the criticism that the GOP has become a cult, appearing to position the president as the cult leader we all know him to be, and then by addressing his father directly in what could only be described as the most pathetic birthday message of all time.
The dodos of Fox & Friends asked Donj about recent comments from Senator Bob Corker, who said of the GOP:
"We are in a strange place. It's almost, it's becoming a cultish thing, isn't it? It's not a good place for any party to end up with a cultlike situation as it relates to a president that happens to be of, purportedly, of the same party."
For most well-adjusted and autonomous people, cults are not a good thing. Part of this is because they're based on a hierarchical structure that insists people dehumanize themselves in service of a charismatic narcissist, often with pretty dangerous ideals. But for Don Jr., cults are apparently fine as long as his dad's in charge! He told Fox & Friends: "If it's a cult, it's because they like what my father is doing."
That's a fun way to excuse the uptick in outwardly and aggressively white supremacist, homophobic, transphobic, and sexist policies that Trump has allowed the GOP to champion! With that logic, you could say that if the Manson Family, the Branch Davidians, and The People's Temple/Jonestown are cults it's because their followers and later victims liked what murderous monsters Charles Manson, David Koresh, and Jim Jones (respectively) were doing. But that would be a very dumb and crazy thing to say.
Donj went on to discuss how the cult thing is chill because conservatives are "actually getting things done." Cool!
Later on in the segment, things took an even darker turn, when Donj turned directly to the screen and wished his father a happy birthday and told him he loved him very much.
"We look forward to seeing you soon," Donald Trump Jr. said to his namesake. He then turned to his (Fox &) friends to say, "Because I don't get to see him that much anymore, that's the only problem," perhaps giving us a glimpse into the saddest little boy at the circus.

Home/News/Chicago Aviation Officer Who Was Fired for Dragging a Passenger Off United Airlines Jet Flight Is Suing the City
Chicago Aviation Officer Who Was Fired for Dragging a Passenger Off United Airlines Jet Flight Is Suing the City
RaquelHarris April 12, 2018 News Leave a comment
Remember the aviation officer who was recorded dragging a passenger off a United Airlines flight? He's now suing the city of Chicago because he claims he was wrongfully terminated.
James Long is a former officer of the Chicago Department of Aviation who was seen in a viral video pulling passenger David Dao, 69, from his seat and dragging him off a United Airlines jet back on April 9, 2017.
Now, he has filed a lawsuit in Cook County with charges of negligence and defamation. In his lawsuit, Long claims he wasn't trained to deal with misbehaving passengers which resulted in his unfair termination. He also states he was slandered by city aviation commissioner Ginger Evans on social media when Evans said the officers behaved inappropriately and were not armed "for good reasons."
On April 9, 2017, Dao was returning to Kentucky from Chicago when he and three other passengers were asked to give up their seats for United Airlines employees. When Dao refused the airline called in aviation police. Long claims he "gently tried to remove Dr. Dao from his seat by putting a hand on his arm" using "minimal but necessary" force. Long says his lack of training resulted in the incident getting out of control; Dao ended up with a broken nose and two missing teeth.
Last year, Dao reached a settlement with United for an undisclosed amount of money. Long was fired Aug. 8, 2017. Long is seeking a reimbursement of damages which include back pay and payments to his 401(k) retirement plan. Dao's legal team has yet to reap.

Promising fertility treatment success rate for second baby
Jennifer Frosch
Progress Educational Trust
[BioNews, London]
Women who used fertility treatment to conceive their first child have a good chance of having a second child the same way, according to a new study.
Researchers from the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, have reported that women who have previously given birth following IVF have a 51 to 88 percent chance of having a second baby after six cycles of treatment. The study is the first to look at the chances of women having more than one IVF-conceived baby, which scientists hope will be helpful in counselling patients.
'We know that many women and couples want more than one baby to complete their family, and they want to be fully informed,' said senior author Professor Georgina Chambers. 'This data should reassure them that their chances of having a second baby through IVF is very good.'
The population-based cohort study, published in Human Reproduction, looked at 35,290 women who received IVF treatment using their own eggs and successfully gave birth between January 2009 and December 2013, in 90 clinics throughout Australia and New Zealand. The study followed the participating women another two years until December 2015, providing two to seven years of treatment follow-up. Among these mothers, 15,325 women (43 percent) with a median age of 36 years decided to repeat treatment in order to have a second child. From those trying for a second IVF child, 73 percent had frozen embryos available from their first IVF cycles.
The study includes estimations of two variations of cycle-independent cumulative birth rates (CLBR) for all patients. Both a conservative and an optimal CLBR were calculated, either assuming that dropped-out participants wouldn't have success in further treatment cycles (conservative) or that they would have the same chance of a live birth as those continuing the treatment in any cycle (optimal). The range between the two values gives patients an idea of where the realistic chances lie.
'Overall, 43 percent of women who recommence treatment with one of the frozen embryos from a previous stimulation cycle will have a baby after their first embryo transfer procedure. Between 61 percent and 88 percent of these women will have a baby after six cycles,' said Professor Chambers. 'Among those who recommence treatment with a new stimulation cycle and a fresh embryo transfer, 31 percent will have a baby after their first cycle and between 51 percent and 70 percent after six cycles.'
The study also revealed that success rates declined with women's age. However, in women aged 40 to 44, CLBRs after three cycles of treatment ranged between 38 to 55 percent when using a frozen embryo, and 20 to 25 percent when recommencing with fresh embryos from a new stimulation cycle. Reported factors positively affecting the chances for a successful second pregnancy included requiring only one cycle, a single embryo transfer for the first IVF-conceived baby, and infertility originating in factors affecting the male partner.
Co-author Dr Devora Lieberman said these results can help in counselling patients. 'However, it is important to note that these are population estimates and every couple is different,' she added. 'Our analysis does not take account of all individual factors that affect a woman's chance of ART (assisted reproductive technology) success, including duration of infertility, and body mass index.'

Certain aspects of Chinese rail travel have been transformed over recent years. No longer need it be such a slow, crowded or chaotic experience. For example, the journey from Nanjing to Shanghai on a modern double-decker train is efficient and comfortable.
However for nearly two decades since the country's opening up to the outside world, the structure of the national railway system. has hardly changed. It remains one of the most outdated, overstaffed and loss-making state sectors. Only 20 per cent of the 66,000km rail network (which is the largest in Asia) is electrified and huge stretches are still single" tracked.
One reason for neglect is a fear of opening up a sector deemed to have national security implications. There is a geographical mismatch in. China between raw materials in the hinterland and the main conurbations located in coastal areas. This has meant. that the railways -have played a crucial role in trans-porting coal, oil, minerals, grain, cotton and other raw materials needed by industry from their origins to the major industrial and consumer centres along the coast. In this regard, the railways exert. significant control over the economy.
There are also concerns about the social and economic effects of reducing price subsidies to a sector which plays a central role in transporting goods and passengers. The national railway network has long been regarded as an artery of China's economy. "The..State Council is not so keen to reform the Ministry of Railways (MOR) because it is too important and needs centralised management;" Mr Wu Fengwei, deputy director of the institute of Comprehensive Transport under the ' State Planning Commission, was quoted as. saying.
The result has been a blockade on foreign participation in modernising the rail system, despite market reforms that are transforming road and. air transport. Over the past decade the number of passengers travelling by road and, air has soared at the expense of rail. Last year railway passenger volume fell by almost three per cent to a total of 917m., while the number of passengers travelling byroad grew by 3.4 per cent to 11.6bn and those by air jumped by more than 10 per cent to reach almost 60m.
The MOR desperately needs foreign money to improve its fortunes. According to Railway Minister Fu Zhihuan, a total of Yn2.50bn (US$30bn) is earmarked to build 5,340km of line over the next five years. As a stimulus to a flagging economy, this year's investment budget has been increased to Yn45bn from an original Yn35bn.
In addition to MOR and central government funds, special domestic bonds, foreign loans and the public listing of some MOR subsidiaries are currently being considered. In June this year the government issued more than Yn2bn-worth of domestic bonds in three- and five-year tranches specifically to finance railway construction. Fu has repeatedly called for foreign loans worth more than US$2bn which are needed for the next five years. Only one railway line between Guangzhou and Shenzhen has so far been listed, both in Hong Kong and New York, raising a total of Yn4bn (US$482m) for updating technology.
According to Mr Xiang Jiankun, deputy general manager of Railway Construction and Development Corporation of Fujian province, overseas listing is the most favoured option among rail finance development projects, so long as the state holds an overwhelming majority stake. However the speed of listing depends on many external factors, including the final approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission. The listing quotas are granted on the basis of, among other things, a company's geographic location rather than the industrial sector to which it belongs. MOR therefore does not control the degree to which it can access finance through public listing. At the same time, the ministry is reluctant to even think about partially privatising profitable routes like Beijing-to-Shanghai.
Not surprisingly China's first high-speed railway linking Beijing and Shanghai, to be constructed in 20)0, will be financed mainly by domestic funds, according to a ministry official. Mr Shen Zhijie, former general engineer of the MOR and now in charge ofthe high-speed project, expects the new line to "generate good profits" and is therefore able to service some foreign loans. Shen was quoted as saying that the ministry was willing to "conduct technical co-operation with overseas partners".
Xiang of Fujian recognises the dilemma the railway sector faces. "We not only need money and technology but also management and market skills so that we are able to adapt to the market economy," he comments. More borrowing is problematic to a sector already burdened with debts and losses; public listing, however cheap, does not bring in the modern management and marketing skills that are needed.
Yet laborious consideration continues at MOR over the possibility of starting buildoperate-transfer (BOT) rail projects. "The risk is that it's impossible to control price hikes if foreign operators decide to raise fares, particularly on busy routes. Central control is crucial for a massive network like ours," Xiang says.
Foreign investors tend to have a natural aversion to BOT rail projects since they usually require extensive capital outlay while returns on capital are slow, he adds. His company.. a provincial arm of the MOR, is planning to build a new grade A single-track railway line between Ganzhou in Jiangxi province and Longyan in Fujian province. lts annual rail freight volume is designed to be 12.5m tonnes and total investment is expected to be Yn4.6bn (US$560rn). While still waiting for approval from the State Planning Commission, the project proposal has been publicised abroad for more than one year. "Nobody from overseas has expressed any interest so far," he laments.
By comparison, BOT highway projects across the country have attracted several overseas developers, particularly from Hong Kong. Road sections in Guangdong province, for example, are being built and operated by Road King, the Hong Kong specialist developer.
The last time the railway network turned in a profit was five years ago. MOR has set out its target to shed millions of jobs and to break even by 2000. If railway officials manage to hit target. unlikely as it seems at the moment, outside observers believe it may eventually weaken the argument for introducing modern management and marketing practices through BOT projects.
Global financiers have yet to come up with an option which addresses MOR's fears and helps foreign investors tap this vast market.


One of the more interesting fall-outs from the election is a rash of articles about smart data trumping punditry.
According to "Big Data and the Moneyball Economy" at Big Think, the data revolution may be coming to small business.
At the recent Tech Crunch Disrupt event in San Francisco, one of the standout companies was SizeUp, which brings business intelligence and competitive analysis to the small business space.
From wearable technology - from the innumerable sensing devices in soil and pavement and oceans - from robots flying around Mercury and Saturn and roving Mars, data is being generated at an ever-increasing pace. Successful businesses have always embraced good data. That's not necessarily new. But one also gets the idea that consulting outfits and advertising firms, organizations used to selling their expertise, had better bring their statistical A-game or risk being displaced by buccaneering number crunchers working at the figurative margins. Intuition and hunch - and certainly, intuition and hunch divorced from the data - is fast losing market value.
"A sophisticated understanding of data and statistics" has certainly propelled people like Sam Wang of the Princeton Election Consortium and Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight to national prominence. Having made a name for himself four years ago, Silver and his formidable Brier scores have found a home at the New York Times. While the former baseball sabermetrician's 50 - 0 record calling the Electoral College depended on a record setting number of polls, others play offense. Games, data-driven discovery, are increasingly being used by enterprising organizations. Designers like Jane MgGonigal are in demand for their ability to model a human element.
Like all innovations, the data revolution may take some time to work its way from outfits that can afford to pay for the data collection and analysis to those without the deep pockets. And I certainly don't know if companies like SizeUp will succeed, or what kinds of products and services will win. But in a culture long attuned to rewarding the biggest voices and the so-certain forecast, it seems clear that talk is, indeed, cheap.
Questions of survival: Who am I? Why am I here?


Radio Station Alice put on their annual free Summerthing Concert in Golden Gate Park at the renamed Hellman Hollow (formerly known as Speedway Meadow) Thousands came to check out the lineup featuring Vicci Martinez, Graffiti6, Scars on 45, Boys Like Girls, and Adam Lambert.
What more can you ask for on a Sunday afternoon, picnic? food trucks? giveaways? quality time with friends? live music? and girls screaming at the top of their lungs? I can do without the screaming. It always boggles my mind as to why people actually scream when they see their favorite musician or singer. Maybe clapping is a good response to saying that some musical artist has done a good job is good, but screaming, I could never understand. Please spare my ears so I can actually listen to the music.
The performances were lively, but unfortunately the artists were out of my element of familiarity. At most each artist performed only one of their more popular hits. Nevertheless, the show was entertaining and seeing that the crowd was really into it gave proof that the show was great.
Alice Summerthing 2012 was cool, now let's look forward to Alice's Now and Zen Concert 2012 later this year.

This year Radio Alice did not fail to put on a good show. It was anything, but dull. Summerthing has to be one of summer's best free concert open to the public. Again the show was held at Speedway Meadows in Golden Gate Park and the featured performers were Thriving Ivory, One eskimO, Kris Allen, and Lifehouse.
The weather this year was amazingly sunny and the crowd sure packed the space well. Vendors lined the sides of the venue as well as the far back space behind the audience. People came early to camp out good spots for great views and the crowd sure packed it in at the front of the stage.
Great times at the park with great music and tons of blown bubbles throughout the air made for such a great time to have a picnic and time to relax in the sun.

Alice @ 97.3 FM radio stationed put on another great free concert in Golden Gate Park at Speedway Meadows this Sunday. Performing live for the audience were Parachute, Sugar Ray, Matt Nathanson, and Gavin Rossdale.
The day was sunny with a cool summer breeze. Thousands of guests lined the grass with blankets and lawn chairs. People picnicked with friends and/or family. There were booths throughout the field that sold food, clothing, arts & crafts, and informational booths. One of the most sought after thing to do at the concert in the park was the flying trapeze. People lined up to try and swing across as if they were in the circus. Safety harness, safety net, and safety line helped insure safety to all that tried. Looks like a lot of fun. I think one reward of going up the high ladder would be the magnificent view from above at the people and concert below.
My favorite part of the concert was just hearing Sugar Ray sing. I've always heard Mark McGrath on the radio, but I've never seen him perform either on television or any type of music video. Having seen him on stage was pretty cool. He was so lively and animated and forever thankful to the crowd for being so into his on-stage presence. Some concerts that I've attended when the guest singer/performer ask for audience participation, it usually comes with some hesitation. However, Sugar Ray was able to raise that bar high. Audiences got into it with sing-alongs, clapping, dancing, high pitched screaming, and you can't forget the yelling of "Your fly is down!!!". McGrath performed his entire show with his fly down. After a few shouts, he eventually checked his zipper, but in fact the zipper was actually button jeans. He bought his white pair of jeans at H&M and informed the audience to never buy jeans from them or something like this would happen. He wasn't phased by this little bit of embarrassment and he forged on to perform a great show.
The other bands that performed were also great. Hundreds of fans stormed up towards the front of the stage to get a good view. Majority of the forerunners were young women who wanted to see their dreamy guys sing and sweat. Music was great. It was loud and the bubbles were blowing. A few things that I left the day with were a sunburn, suntan, and getting temporarily deaf in my right ear.
