Stauskas has looked like anything but a nervous rookie in the Kings' three summer league games after being drafted eighth overall last month. The rookie from Michigan is averaging 13 points on 48.1 percent shooting. Considered an accomplished three-point shooter, he's made five of his nine attempts.
The Kings cited Stauskas' basketball intellect as one of the reasons they liked him. It's something the coaching staff and front office has emphasized in revamping the roster.
Stauskas said he tries "not to complicate things too much," and he already has grasped the concept that a simple play is the best play.
"I just listen to my coaches, take in the information and try to be patient and aggressive at the same time," he said.
The coaching staff is high on his potential.
Though Corbin said Stauskas' transition to summer league only hints at what's to come, he believes Stauskas is making good use of the summer league to prepare for the regular season.
Stauskas' confidence is evident by his relaxed state when discussing the adjustment. He's not flustered and speaks maturely about the need for summer league.

Q: what does a colon (:) do in a linear mixed effects model analysis? Let me clarify that I am a complete beginner at R.
I'm working on a problem and having a bit of trouble understanding a formula I'm supposed to use in a linear mixed effects model analysis of a dataset, more specifically this formula,
ModelName <- lmer(outcome ~ predictor1 + predictor2 + predictor1:predictor2 + (random_structure), data = DatasetName)

I don't know what the predictor1:predictor2 part of it means, could anyone please help me understand or link to something I can read to understand?
I've run the code and it gives an additional output for the predictor2 part of the formula which doesnt happen when you dont include that part.

A: Wow! You may be new to R, but you ask a great question!
As you probably know already, the + operator separates terms in a model.
Y ~ a + b + c means that the response is modeled by a linear combination of a, b, and c.
The colon operator denotes interaction between the items it separates, for example:
Y ~ a + b + a:b means that the response is modeled by a linear combination of a, b, and the interaction between a and b.
I hope this helps!
Rose Hartman explains how interactions affect linear models, and why it's important to consider them in Understanding Interactions in Linear Models https://education.arcus.chop.edu/understanding-interactions/

It's extremely durable – TimberTech material is incredibly durable, which means that it will last a long time to come — and you won't have to worry about it being able to support a deck full of guests or deck furniture.
It's fade-resistant – Your deck will continue to look good for years to come as a result of TimberTech's resistance to fading. With other deck materials, you're likely going to have to restain the wood as it will lose its luster due to constant exposure to the sunlight. In fact, TimberTech decks come with a 25-year fade and stain warranty.
It's scratch resistant – Most decks end up becoming all scratched up over time as a result of normal usage. TimberTech decks are resistant to scratches, which means you won't have to invest in sanding down your deck in order to restore its original beauty.
It's splinter-free – Wood decks will splinter as they age. Splinters can be quite dangerous, especially if you have guests or family members who walk around on your deck barefoot. TimberTech decks do not splinter, so you do not have to worry about such a safety risk.
It's resistant to mold and mildew – Mold and mildew will not grow on a TimberTech deck, which means you don't have to worry about having to hire a mold removal or refinishing service to take care of your deck.
As you can see, using TimberTech material for your deck will make it a lot easier to take care of over its lifespan. Simply sweeping up your deck and giving it a regular washing will do. You'll never have to worry about common problems like fading, mold, splinters or scratches like you would with other materials.
For more information about building a custom deck using TimberTech, be sure to contact us at Straight Line Construction in Sacramento to request a free estimate today.

38. Euphorbia fendleri Torrey & A. Gray in War Department [U.S.], Pacif. Railr. Rep. 2(4): 175. 1857.
Herbs, perennial, with woody, thickened taproot. Stems usually prostrate, decumbent, or ascending, very rarely erect, often densely clustered from top of woody crown, 5–12 cm, glabrous. Leaves usually opposite, rarely whorled; stipules distinct, narrowly linear, 0.5–1 mm, glabrous; petiole 0.5–1 mm, glabrous; blade usually orbiculate to ovate, rarely almost lanceolate, 3–8 × 2.5–7 mm, base slightly asymmetric, slightly cordate to rounded or obtuse, margins entire, apex rounded to obtuse, surfaces glabrous; obscurely 3–5-veined from base, only midvein conspicuous. Cyathia solitary at distal nodes; peduncle 0.7–1.2 mm. Involucre campanulate to turbinate or broadly cupulate, 1.1–1.7 × 1.2–1.8 mm, glabrous; glands 4, yellow-green to reddish, elliptic to oblong, 0.2–0.5 × 0.4–0.9 mm; appendages absent or white, rarely pink, often unequal, lunate to flabellate or sometimes forming crenate margin along gland, (0–)0.1–0.6 × (0–)0.5–1.5 mm, distal margin entire or toothed. Staminate flowers 25–35. Pistillate flowers: ovary glabrous; styles 0.3–0.4 mm, 2-fid 1/2 length. Capsules depressed-globose, 2–2.4 × 2.2–2.5 mm, glabrous; columella 1.7–2.1 mm. Seeds white, ovoid-pyramidal, prominently 4-angled in cross section, 1.7–2 × 1–1.2 mm, smooth to slightly wrinkled. 2n = 28.
Flowering and fruiting spring–fall. Mountain slopes, desert scrub, pinyon-juniper woodlands, hills, canyons, grasslands, washes, roadsides, dry crevices in limestone, often in gravel and sand; 500–2600 m; Ariz., Calif., Colo., Kans., Nebr., Nev., N.Mex., Okla., S.Dak., Tex., Utah, Wyo.; Mexico (Coahuila).
Euphorbia fendleri is similar to E. chaetocalyx and may sometimes be confused with that species. Its prostrate to decumbent or ascending stems and small, ovate to orbiculate leaves distinguish it from E. chaetocalyx. Some authors have used the presence or absence and shape of the involucral gland appendages to help separate E. fendleri from E. chaetocalyx, but those characters appear highly variable and of little taxonomic utility; somewhat intermediate individuals occur in western Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.

HARTING Han M23 Power-Hybrid Connectors
Hong Kong, December 09, 2018 /PressReleasePing/ - HARTING's Han M23 series connectors enable reliable transmission of data, signals, and power with a small footprint and high protection on May 8, 2018. The latest in the range, the Han M23 Power-Hybrid, enables flexible multi-type transmission in one connector. There are a total of 12 contacts that can be used to connect components to the industrial lifeline - four of which can be used for signal, power and data transmission.
Hybrid connectors enable reliable shielded connections such as measuring instruments, encoders, and motors. It is also suitable for other demanding environmental applications such as wind power.
A variety of housings are available to match the contact plugs. These include straight, curved and rotatable enclosures, as well as a variety of mounting and mating enclosures. These allow the connector to achieve an optimal fit to the corresponding environmental requirements. The integrated tension relief in the housing and mating housing also protects the connection without the need for additional components.
The contact connectors (6 to 19 cores) of this series are compatible with most other M23 circular connectors on the market. Thanks to the Han ComLock locking system and its quick plug/unplug solution, the use is particularly comfortable.

Scene of the Crime
'I remember the place where Ripley was born.'
Tom Ripley in my first book about him is a young man of twenty-five, restless and jobless in New York, living temporarily in a friend's apartment. He was orphaned early and brought up by a rather stingy aunt in Boston. He has some talent for mathematics and mimicry, and the two abilities enable him to carry on a small game of scaring American tax-payers by letter and telephone: he demands from them 'further payment' to an Internal Revenue Service office whose branch, he says, is at a certain address: it is the address of the friend with whom he is staying, and Ripley takes the letters when they arrive, though he can do nothing with the cheques inside them except chuckle with an odd satisfaction.
When Ripley finds himself followed one evening in Manhattan streets by a middle-aged man, his first thought is that the man is a police agent, or could be, sent to apprehend him for his fraudulent tax game. The follower turns out to be the father of an acquaintance Ripley has trouble at first in remembering: Dickie Greenleaf, who is now living in Europe, says the father.
Herbert Greenleaf invites Tom to dinner the next evening, and here Tom meets Dickie's mother and has a glimpse of the finer things of life: good furniture, silverware at the table, order and politeness. These things, Tom realizes not for the first time, are his aspirations. Furthermore, the Greenleafs offer to pay Tom's expenses to Italy and back. Tom agrees to go.
Patricia Highsmith's novels include Strangers on a Train and The Talented Mr Ripley, both of which became successful feature films. She died in Switzerland in 1995.

Las Vegas, NV - January 23, 2017 - At CES 2017, the countless displays of consumer technology across several industries showed us how the tech world is evolving. What became clear among all industries represented, however, was that the connection between consumer and good is closer than ever, and growing closer still.
In-home products are stretching beyond their intended function by integrating with artificial intelligence and machine learning, to the point where refrigerators can play music when you enter your kitchen and order groceries when you are running low. Manufacturers have introduced and integrated AI and mobile technologies into their products, creating a connection between consumer and product – and between the products themselves – so seamless that in the not-so-distant-future, our products will communicate effortlessly to enhance daily life and function, making decisions for us before we know we need to make them.
As this integration develops across all types of products and sectors, it is clear that there is a significant opportunity to build out comprehensive, multi-faceted consumer datasets that marketers and advertisers alike will be able to utilize to serve hyper-targeted and personalized content, directed at influencing their behavior at every turn.
We see this in the automotive industry which has already started to revolutionize the in-car experience and push it to evolve into our second living room – a place in which passengers will soon be able to sit back and relax for the duration of their commute. New car models are being designed with new and adaptive technology, where incumbents and new entrants alike are employing artificial intelligence to serve the driver (soon to be just the passenger) a fully automated experience. The car will be a vehicle for content consumption in every form; with video, media, and advertising integrated into the driving and commuting experience. Connectivity, analysis, and consumer insights will work to simplify individuals' lives and provide yet another pool of data to monetize. With the emergence of the shared economy having a large stake in the automotive industry, we expect high activity in innovation and specialization across 2017 and beyond.
We also saw this deep integration grow with the wearables industry at CES. Over the last few years, consumers have been hesitant to embrace wearables on a larger scale and industry growth has slowed, but we saw spurred innovation and investment into functionality and design at the show. Wearables have a significant opportunity to blossom within the fitness industry, which has shown impressive growth as seen in macro personal exercise and gym membership statistics. We look forward to seeing how wearable technology will adapt and hit its stride in this already large and still-growing environment.
Outside of the Las Vegas Convention center, we saw much of the activity off-campus in a collective of hotels right off the strip. Meeting rooms at the Vdara, Aria, Cosmo, and others served as the central headquarters for invite-only keynotes, meetings, Q&A's, and business rendezvous outside the walls of CES. Key strategics like Oracle, Comcast, BMW, Apple, Google, Salesforce, and others were seen milling the halls of these hotels, resulting in a number of impromptu meetings that spurred stronger relationships and incited disruptive dialogues regarding the state of technology and where it is heading in 2017. Being that meeting availability with these big players are few and far between, this seemed to be the best-kept CES secret: navigating through the oceans of CES attendees and catching the big fish in the desert. Although the show itself serves a fundamental purpose of showing the latest tech releases across almost all categories, much of the business for many was discussed outside the walls of CES.

Bernie Sanders takes a swipe at Obama
Senator and former Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders took a soft swipe at former President Barack Obama on NBC's Meet The Press. The Senator was talking about the Russians indicted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller for meddling in the election process. Mr. Sanders does not think that the former President did enough to warn America and the candidates about what the Russians were up to. Mr. Obama has explained his reluctance to get involved in the elections. Was that truthful or was he helping torpedo Hillary Clinton and keep her from wining?
As Written and Reported By Chris White for the Daily Caller:
Sen. Bernie Sanders offhandedly criticized former President Barack Obama Sunday for not doing enough to warn voters about the Russian government's attempt to meddle during the election.
Obama probably didn't do enough to raise the red flag after he found out Russia involved itself in the U.S. election, Sanders said on NBC's "Meet the Press" before pivoting to blasting President Donald Trump for downplaying Russia's role.
"Obama was in a very difficult position and didn't want to make it appear he was favoring Hillary Clinton," the Vermont Independent said. "Maybe he should have done more." An indictment announced Friday showed that Russian nationals helped both Sanders and Trump during their respective presidential candidacies.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller issued an indictment for 13 Russian nationals affiliated with three Russian companies suspected of interfering in the 2016 election. The goal was to create chaos inside the U.S. political process.
The indicted Russians operated both pro- and anti-Trump social media accounts, and accounts were also used to provide support for Sanders, who at the time was considered a formidable opponent to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, and Green Party candidate….

The Truth According to Us and Safekeeping
They say there are only two basic plots: a stranger comes to town, or the hero sets off on a journey. So far this summer I've enjoyed two novels that exemplify one or the other model.
First is The Truth According to Us by Annie Barrows, co-author of the endearing The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. This atmospheric historical novel is set in the sweltering summer of 1938. Layla Beck, a spoiled senator's daughter, has been sent to Macedonia, West Virginia by the WPA to document the town's story in advance of its sesquicentennial. Her uncle pulls strings to get her the job even though he thinks his flighty niece is "exactly as fit to work on the project as a chicken is to drive a Buick."
From a lunatic Civil War general onwards, Macedonia has certainly had a colorful history. The problem is that all the local lights want to skew history to present themselves in the most favorable light. This applies to the family Layla boards with as well, the Romeyns. Felix and Jottie's father ran the American Everlasting Hosiery Company until a devastating fire some 20 years ago – blamed on Jottie's old sweetheart, Vause Hamilton.
Now Felix's twelve-year-old daughter Willa, who narrates much of the novel, wants to get to the bottom of things. What really happened during that factory fire? Why are the Romeyns snubbed around town? Has her divorcé father turned to bootlegging, and can she stop Miss Beck from bewitching him? Like Scout Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird or Flavia de Luce in Alan Bradley's mysteries, Willa is a spunky heroine whose curiosity carries the plot.
Annie Barrows (Goodreads photo)
Once again Barrows makes good use of the epistolary format by inserting the letters Layla sends and receives during her time in Macedonia. Third person narration also gets us into the mind of Jottie, one of the strongest characters. However, later sections of the novel get a little bogged down in Jottie's romantic history, and overall it is too long by at least a quarter. Barrows is better at capturing everyday speech and routines than momentous activities like a factory strike, but she certainly evokes the oppressive heat of a long American summer.
As Willa concludes, "The truth of other people is a ceaseless business. You try to fix your ideas about them, and you choke on the clot you've made." This novel reminds us that others – whether strangers or family – are always a mystery, and history is a matter of interpretation.
Next up is Safekeeping, the debut novel from Jessamyn Hope. A bit like All the Light We Cannot See, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel from Anthony Doerr, the plot revolves around a priceless jewel. In this case it's a medieval sapphire brooch that has been passed down through Adam's family for centuries. In 1994, after the death of his grandfather, a Holocaust survivor, Adam undertakes a quest to return the brooch to the woman he fell in love with on an Israeli kibbutz and never forgot. Adam has his own problems – he's a recovering junkie and alcoholic – but he feel he owes this to his grandfather's memory.
A kibbutz undergoing the bitter transition from communalism to salaried work provides a vivid contrast to Adam's native New York City. Hope populates her novel with a wonderful cast of eccentric characters. There's Ulya, a Belarussian prima donna with a shoplifting habit; Claudette, a French Canadian Catholic crippled by mental health issues; Ziva, a kibbutz veteran who fights the changes tooth and nail despite advancing infirmity; and Ofir, a young man who endeavors to finish his military service early so he can return to his beloved piano.
Jessamyn Hope (Goodreads photo)
I loved the way that Hope links the disparate characters in a constellation of connections. Acts of generosity, small or large, make a huge difference, even though betrayals past and present still linger. Close third person narration shifts easily between all the characters' viewpoints, while two surprising historical interludes add depth. Hope handles flashbacks as elegantly as I've ever seen: you follow characters into their thoughts and suddenly snap back to the present right along with them.
I'll confess I was slightly disappointed with the inconclusive ending. We follow the brooch rather than the characters, which means that in two cases we are left wondering about a person's fate. Still, I was so impressed with the writing, especially the interweaving of past and present, that I will be eager to watch Hope's career. Safekeeping is published by Fig Tree Books, a champion of modern Jewish literature, and has one of the most terrific book covers I've seen in a while.

I'm a huge fan of Disney park music. Listening to soundtracks takes me to the respective rides that I enjoy. I can place exactly where I'm at when I'm listening to certain musical cues. It always makes a ride better than without it.
But, what if attractions had a different soundtrack? What effect would it have on the ride? Would it be whimsical instead of scary? Would it be scary instead of fun?
I decided to pit some ride throughs against a different soundtrack (and one in this post that doesn't have a soundtrack to start with). What do you think? Does it change the ride for you at all?
Haunted Mansion with some new and old Main Street USA area music. And there's Big Thunder Mountain Railroad with the California Screamin' music. I know Big Thunder doesn't have a music soundtrack to begin with, so that one is entirely experimental, but fun! Let us know what you think about the rides this way!
