Tel Aviv has attracted a lot of attention for its nightlife and creative culinary scene in recent years. These days its center of gravity has shifted south, to the site of the ancient port town of Jaffa (technically part of the city itself). This month, the Setai opens in a former Ottoman prison; a new W Hotel housed in a 19th-century former convent and pilgrims' hospice is scheduled to open in March. It's just the latest in a growing list of upscale hotels, restaurants, and boutiques to arrive among the winding streets of this former fishing village. Jaffa's once-shabby flea market is now populated by a number of high-end antique dealerships, which sit alongside trendy cafés and bars — many offering live music into the night. Don't miss Maskit, an iconic Israeli fashion house known for its embroidery that has been recently reincarnated after closing in the 1990s. Numerous interesting chefs have also set up shop among Jaffa's churches, mosques, and archaeological sites. Try Beit Kandinof, a restaurant housed in a 17th-century building, where creative dishes like artichoke-and-pesto bruschetta are served alongside local art exhibits. —Sara Toth Stub

Oceanic islands are islands that do not sit on continental shelves. The vast majority are volcanic in origin, such as Saint Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean.[11] The few oceanic islands that are not volcanic are tectonic in origin and arise where plate movements have lifted up the ocean floor above the surface. Examples are Saint Peter and Paul Rocks in the Atlantic Ocean and Macquarie Island in the Pacific.
Often overlooked in favor of more-developed, splashier neighbors like Hvar or Brač, Šolta's under-the-radar nature has proved a boon: The stony islet has become synonymous with pristine nature (pebbly beaches, turquoise waters, lush greenery), medieval villages, winemaking (try the indigenous Dobričić variety), and family-run olive oil purveyors like Olynthia, a fourth-generation producer. After watching the sun set at Maslinica bay, check out the island's peppering of stylish beach clubs, seaside bars, and open-air restaurants — then drop your bags at the Heritage Hotel Martinis-Marchi, built inside an 18th-century Venetian fort-castle and ideally situated for those who want to explore Šolta's ancient villages and crystal-clear bays. —Kate Springer

In November 2010, Travelers entered into a joint venture agreement under which the company would invest in J. Malucelli Participações em Seguros e Resseguros S.A., the market leader in the surety insurance business in Brazil. The transaction closed in June 2011 with Travelers acquiring a 43.4 percent interest. Travelers' investment in newly issued shares significantly increased J. Malucelli's capital level, positioning it for substantial growth in Brazil. At the time, Travelers had the option to increase its investment to retain a 49.5 percent interest, which the company later did in 2012.[23]
Kathryn confronts MacLaren about an affair she believes he is having, leading him to end his relationship with Carly. Charlotte, the misfire historian, is overwritten and murders her team. She attempts to assassinate Grace, but Trevor stops her. Grace reveals that the anti-Director faction was responsible for the team's abduction. Charlotte is shot by Jeff while attempting to kill Carly. Ellis reveals that he has built a quantum frame that the Director, an advanced AI, can use to travel to the present to escape the faction. David is held at gunpoint by another assassin but is saved by Marcy. The team arrives at the farm where Trevor has received a text to destroy the frame. Boyd reveals she received an order to kill MacLaren and holds him at gunpoint; Carly later reveals having been given the same mission. Assassins surround the farm as Ellis shoots Trevor to keep him from harming the frame. Grace jumps in front of Trevor and is shot as well. Ellis shuts down the perimeter shield in the hope that the Director will help them and delivers a message to destroy the frame shortly before he dies. It is revealed that the people surrounding them are not anti-Director assassins, but FBI agents led by Forbes.
U.S. travelers have historically overlooked Mauritius in favor of other Indian Ocean destinations like the Seychelles and Maldives. That could all change, though, now that this remote, idyllic island some 1,200 miles off the African coast has become easier to reach. A flurry of new airline services launched at the end of 2017: KLM began servicing Mauritius from Amsterdam, and British carrier Thomas Cook Airlines introduced biweekly flights in November. Upon arrival, travelers can take in dreamy lagoon views from the newly reopened One&Only Le Saint Géran, fresh off a multimillion-dollar renovation. Every room and suite now has a private terrace or balcony, marble baths with cascade showers, and sophisticated teak, stone, and leather accents. Guests can also look forward to updated dining experiences — like lunch spot La Pointe, which grills fresh-caught seafood over firewood and coconut embers, or open-air restaurant La Terrasse, which offers Mauritian specialties. Unchanged at Le Saint Géran is its aura of exclusivity, thanks to the resort's unique position on a private peninsula jutting out from the island's eastern shore. —Melanie Lieberman
On October 25, 2011, ANTI- announced Islands' fourth record, A Sleep & a Forgetting, which was released February 14, 2012. In a statement, Thorburn explained, "I left New York after the end of a relationship and came to Los Angeles. There was a piano where I was staying and that's where I wrote these songs. This record deals with loss, with memory and forgetting and with dreaming. I started writing it on Valentine's Day and it's coming out on Valentine's Day."[4] Drums on the record were played by Luc Laurent, who officially joined the band in November 2011 after his band Pepper Rabbit broke up. The song "Hallways" from the album was featured in a commercial for Dell and the Microsoft Surface tablet.
Those with a predilection for high-thread-count sheets will soon be able to luxuriate at the Grand Bohemian Hotel, a ritzy boutique property with Carolina charm. In the meantime, discerning visitors can bunk at the swank Westin Poinsett, a historic hotel that was rescued from the wrecking ball in the late '90s, laying the groundwork for Greenville's great Southern revival. —Rachel Tepper Paley
Of all the islands that make up Italy's Aeolian archipelago, Salina is arguably the most alluring: it is not yet a celebrity haven like its neighbor Stromboli, where Giorgio Armani, Domenico Dolce, and Stefano Gabbana have homes; and it's not yet overrun with the luxury yachts of affluent soccer players like nearby Panarea. That the isle has stayed blissfully unspoiled for this long eludes those who know of its imposing natural beauty — steep mountains blanketed in blossoming trees and wildflowers, small villages speckled with olive and lemon groves, fig trees, and miles of terraced Malvasia vineyards. The Relais & Châteaux property Capofaro Malvasia & Resort is one of Salina's finest places to check in to, thanks to its secluded location, private beach, Tasca d'Almerita wines, and restaurant spotlighting local flavors (think wild fennel, orange, and caper leaves). Once you've settled in, skip on over to the town of Lingua to watch the sun set on the Marina Garibaldi, and order the best almond granita of your life at the Da Alfredo waterfront café. —Rocky Casale
The Moroccan city has attracted an artistic crowd since the 1960s, when everyone from Yves Saint Laurent to Mick Jagger fell for its vibrant sensory landscape. Now the city's cultural scene is being reinvigorated, thanks to two landmark happenings in the world of art and design. First came last October's launch of the YSL Museum — a striking geometric building next to the Jardin Majorelle, which Saint Laurent and his partner, Pierre Bergé, bought and restored in the 1980s. Then, in February, the 1:54 Contemporary African Art Fair will debut at the storied hotel La Mamounia. Marrakesh has had an art biennial since 2005 — the next is slated for 2020 — and the city is home to a number of well-regarded galleries. But the arrival of 1:54, which has editions in London and New York and draws names like Billie Zangewa and William Kentridge, is set to position the city as a hub for African art. There's also hotel news. Oberoi is poised to open its third African property here, a lakeside resort surrounded by citrus orchards. And Royal Mansour has added a 6,450-square-foot pool flanked by seven air-conditioned cabanas. —Flora Stubbs
The Greek highway system has seen several recent upgrades, with a new route making the 2,000-year-old olive trees and lesser-visited ruins of the Peloponnese, the country's southernmost swathe of mainland, more accessible. Completed in late 2016, the new A71 highway from Lefktro to Sparta shaves off two hours of driving time from Athens, and has also connected the Lefktro region to nearby Kalamata Airport, about 90 minutes away. Meanwhile, ports have been expanded at Gytheio and Katakolon — the latter a stopping point for the Viking Star, which launched in 2014. Farming is still integral to the region, and agritourism resorts like Eumelia constantly refresh their food and wellness-themed workshops, in addition to serving local dishes like maniatiki pasta with dry mizithra cheese, and moustokouloura, or cookies made with grape molasses. Goddesses seeking more temple-like accommodations should head to Porto Heli, on the eastern side of the Peloponnese, where everyone is talking about Amanzoe's new Villa 31, a serene space with grandstand views of the surrounding coastline that contains a unique installation by light artist James Turrell. —Adam Harney Graham

It's one of the world's great wine capitals, and like any great vintage, Mendoza is only getting better with age. Start your tasting tour in the Uco Valley, where Casa de Uco's vineyard-view eco-villas will debut this year. Head down the road to to Vines of Mendoza's Winemakers' Village for small-production wines from the likes of Corazón del Sol and SuperUco, and to dine at winery Bodega Monteviejo, where renowned Spanish chef Nadia Harón cooks up Mediterranean-tinged fare inspired by the wines. In Maipú, wineries like Club Tapiz and Trapiche are giving visitors a true taste of the local terroir, using produce grown on the vineyard grounds in their restaurants. Back in town, plot your return trip over a pie at Francis Mallman's year-old pizzeria, Orégano. With new direct flights from Lima, Panama City, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo, and low-cost carrier Norwegian Air plotting dozens of new routes, tacking a Mendoza stop on to your next South American itinerary will be a breeze. —Sorrel Moseley-Williams
The capital may be set on banks of the Potomac, but it's never had a reputation as a great waterfront city. That could all be about to change, thanks to the $2.5 billion, 24-acre District Wharf, which opened in October just south of the National Mall. The shiny new InterContinental Washington D.C.-The Wharf offers access to the development's new parks, music venues, 50-plus shops, and 20 restaurants — which include projects from area chefs like Fabio Trabocchi, Mike Isabella, and wunderkind Kwame Onwuachi. This is also set to be a banner year for culture: the Freer and Sackler galleries, sister museums that champion Asian art, recently reopened after a 20-month renovation, the National Gallery of Art will host the first-ever show dedicated to Cézanne's portraits from March to July, and the Kennedy Center continues its inaugural season of hip-hop programming curated by Q-Tip. —Brooke Porter Katz
Protocol Omega means the Director is no longer intervening in this timeline as either the Traveler program succeeded in its mission or it has totally failed. When Jeff visits Marcy to offer his condolences, she realizes he has been overwritten by 001 and eventually kills herself to prevent him obtaining Ellis' backdoor code from her brain. 001 uploades his consciousness to the internet, enabling him to exist into the future and ultimately gain control. He sends the consciousnesses of his followers into world leaders, provoking the Russians and Chinese to launch nuclear warheads against the US. Yates blames MacLaren and his team for hastening, rather than preventing, the end of mankind. MacLaren uses 001's machine to send his mind back to the August 2001 day when his host first met Kat. He tells her to give John a second chance, later drops off a warning about Helios, then on September 11 arrives at the same office high in the World Trade Center a few minutes before 001's expected arrival, meant to kick off the Traveler program. MacLaren sends an email, knowing the Director will find it, stating: "Traveler program failed. Do not send 001." MacLaren stays in the office – as 001 was supposed to do in the original plan – to await the attacks. The non-Traveler Marcy, showing no signs of hydrocephalus and working as a nurse, happens to sit beside David on a bus, and he strikes up a conversation, renewing their inevitable connection for a third time. The Director decides that Traveler program version one has failed, and begins version two...
A third type of volcanic oceanic island is formed over volcanic hotspots. A hotspot is more or less stationary relative to the moving tectonic plate above it, so a chain of islands results as the plate drifts. Over long periods of time, this type of island is eventually "drowned" by isostatic adjustment and eroded, becoming a seamount. Plate movement across a hot-spot produces a line of islands oriented in the direction of the plate movement. An example is the Hawaiian Islands, from Hawaii to Kure, which continue beneath the sea surface in a more northerly direction as the Emperor Seamounts. Another chain with similar orientation is the Tuamotu Archipelago; its older, northerly trend is the Line Islands. The southernmost chain is the Austral Islands, with its northerly trending part the atolls in the nation of Tuvalu. Tristan da Cunha is an example of a hotspot volcano in the Atlantic Ocean. Another hotspot in the Atlantic is the island of Surtsey, which was formed in 1963.
The city has cemented its reputation as a must-visit destination with its most recent honor: it's been named 2018 World Design Capital, the first ever in the Americas. It's no wonder: despite challenges like the recent earthquake, young Mexican creatives are no longer searching for opportunities abroad but staying to build something meaningful at home. Their success is evident in arts initiatives like Zonamaco and the Material Art Fair in February, Design Week Mexico in October, and the Condo Fair, which will debut in Mexico's capital in April. Aesthetes have plenty of design-forward places to stay and eat, too. Bed down at Downtown Mexico, the newest hotel by Grupo Habita, which plans to open another property, Catedral M X, nearby in 2018. Or book a room at the Four Seasons Hotel Mexico City, which unveiled an ambitious redesign by Gilles & Boissier in 2016. Dine at Enrique Olvera's world-famous Pujol, which relocated last year to a mid-century house and has a fresh, pared-down look. The new space is outfitted in natural materials — a fitting design for a restaurant that celebrates wood-fired cooking. —Laura Itzkowitz
This year, Buenos Aires becomes a hub for art, sports, and politics: the inaugural Art Basel Cities program, the Youth Olympic Games, and the G20 will all take place in the city, beginning with the multi-year Art Basel initiative. Though the Argentinean capital is already home to an eclectic collection of galleries, Art Basel Cities promises to elevate Buenos Aires' reputation in the global art scene by offering professional support for local artists, as well as lectures and workshops throughout the year to draw art lovers to the city.
Three high-ranking Travelers are sent back by the Director to put Grace on trial for violating protocols, overwriting a person who was not assigned to be her host, and sabotaging the Grand Plan. Mac and the team must give testimony at the trial that will determine if she should be overwritten or not. Meanwhile, the Faction is trying to replenish its numbers by overwriting people with the stored minds in the Quantum Frame. It transpires the trial was staged by the Director to flush out a Faction member from within the three Travelers judging Grace, which it successfully does, this leading to Mac's team securing the Quantum Frame.
In August 2012, Travelers sued the National Football League for forcing the company and its subsidiaries to pay to defend the league for failing to protect players from brain injury, in a case filed in the New York State Supreme Court called Discover Property & Casualty Co. et al. vs. National Football League et al., New York State Supreme Court, New York County, No. 652933/2012. The league had sued over three dozen insurance companies the week before in an attempt to cover the claims that players made against the league.[41][42][43]
A picture-perfect trio of islands lapped by turquoise waters, the Maltese archipelago has all the charm of nearby Sicily with far fewer tourists. Valletta, the tiny nation's capital and a UNESCO World Heritage site, feels like something plucked straight from Westeros. The historic walled city dates back to 1565, and has a vibe that's Mediterranean with a North African twist. This underrated destination is finally stepping into the global limelight as a 2018 European Capital of Culture. To celebrate the occasion, the city has planned more than 140 projects and 400 events throughout the year. The festivities begin on January 20, with contemporary dance, a choral symphony, and acrobatic performances across the city's four main squares. Should you miss the grand opening, swing by in February for Carnival, or in June for the Malta International Arts Festival and the Valletta Film Festival. —Diana Hubbell
Marcy erases Kat's memory of the crash and of the preceding day, and stages her home to make it appear as if she had drunk too much the night before. Philip removes MacLaren's car from the airport, but Forbes believes it is theft. Carly extracts Philip, while Forbes and Kat search for MacLaren. An advanced traveler medical team treats MacLaren with nanites to repair his massive internal damage. Trevor undergoes a painful procedure to grow a transplant heart for MacLaren. Unconscious, MacLaren experiences memories of his host's life with Kat. He discovers that they were deeply in love, and that she very much wanted to have children. She did not because MacLaren feared losing Kat after she suffered a life-threatening miscarriage. He also sees that they began to grow apart due to MacLaren's work commitments. MacLaren recovers in time to stage a cover story for Forbes, claiming that Philip is MacLaren's confidential informant and went rogue to prove that MacLaren's life is insecure. MacLaren returns home, and tries to apologize to Kat, but she avoids him.

The Big Easy turns the Big 3-0-0 this year, and in this city where the good times roll, the parties will be epic — think citywide art shows, supersized Mardi Gras parades, and a festival of lights using landmark buildings as backdrops. Thirteen years after Hurricane Katrina, there is much to celebrate: The Central Business District, once a dead zone after dark, now crackles at all hours thanks to four new hotels (the Ace, Troubadour, Catahoula, and NOPSI), each with its own rooftop bar. The neighborhood is also home to new restaurants like Maypop — a Vietnamese-Creole joint from acclaimed chef Michael Gulotta. Another area coming to life is the three-mile riverfront, where a renovated Spanish Plaza will reopen this spring. More riverfront updates, including a new Four Seasons Hotel, will roll out in the next few years. Toast the tricentennial at the Sazerac House, a French Quarter museum dedicated to the official cocktail of New Orleans, opening later this year. —Allison Entrekin
The team track down Simon (Traveler 0004), a specialist who developed the consciousness transfer technology in the future, who was sent into a host body that developed schizophrenia after arrival. Simon, who set up the Travelers' communications system in the 21st, is haunted by hallucinations of Vincent, who previously convinced an institutionalized Simon that the Director wanted him to next build transfer technology in the 21st.

With its recent 150th anniversary celebration, pop-culture cred (Drake, Ryan Gosling, and Justin Bieber have Canadian roots), and charismatic prime minister, the Great White North has finally begun to receive the international recognition it deserves — and Toronto has been preening itself for this lead role. Luxe properties and forward-thinking restaurants have been popping up across the city: there's Queen Street's historic Broadview Hotel, which reopened in the burgeoning East End with guest-room details like vinyl turntables and burgundy velvet drapes, and the stylish Bisha Hotel downtown, where the likes of Lenny Kravitz and celebrity chef Akira Back have lent their design and culinary expertise. In stereotypically modest Canadian fashion, Brothers Food + Wine — one of the city's most exciting new openings — is housed inside a tiny, nondescript space just above the Bay Street subway station, but dazzles with seasonal dishes like crispy steelhead trout with braised gem lettuce and yogurt-and-caper sauce. Next up: in Spring 2018, the Museum of Contemporary Art will move into a century-old former factory in the Junction Triangle. —Jennifer Salerno
Vincent Ingram (Traveler 001) recounts his arrival in the 21st century to his therapist, Dr. Perrow. Vincent's arrival was meant to be the first test of projecting human consciousness through time and he was intended to die in the fall of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, so as not to affect the timeline – but soon after arrival, he went off-mission and into hiding from the Director. Meanwhile, Mac and his team are being interrogated by the FBI about the Quantum Frame and its purpose, while David deals with the aftermath of the assassination attempt on his life.

Are you always tired, drained, worn out? These are just some of the words used to describe a feeling of just being plain old 'buggered'. No matter which way we look at it and no matter which words we use to illustrate, the simple fact of the matter is that life is moving at an alarming rate leaving us gasping for air and heading for the nearest pillow.
Are you one of the many people that just dread the morning alarm? Or you just can't get through a full day without the mid-afternoon "nanny-nap"? Or is it straight after dinner that you turn into a complete couch-potato, unable to remove yourself from the couch, stuck in front of the TV?
Whichever time of the day renders your 'slump', food is often one of the reasons why you feel this way. Research suggests that a poor diet lacking in important vitamins and minerals and high in processed foods is often the cause of sluggishness and fatigue. A nutritionally dense diet, however, often boosts energy levels.
Food is our fuel. Therefore, what we choose to fuel our bodies is going to impact highly on its ultimate performance. As we wake up and get out of bed, our day has begun and our bodies need to be refueled after a fast. Breakfast is the breaking of the fast, and to say that this is the most important meal of the day is definitely an understatement!
Oatmeal with yoghurt, flaxseeds and raisins (or a fruit of choice).
Eating healthy at the start of the day should be a catalyst for the rest of the day. Such foods such as carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats such as avocado, olive oil, coconut oil, butter should be included in the daily diet. This sort of eating improves memory, decreases fatigue and boosts energy. It will also improve your waistline, decrease your risk of most chronic illnesses and improve the tone of your skin.
Snacks need to consist of fruit, nuts and seeds. Sliced raw vegetables such as carrots dipped in humus or avocado dip makes for an excellent snack. Steer away from the simple carbohydrates such as lollies, cakes as these will give you a quick energy fix, but leave you feeling tired and fatigued after a while.
Try and add lean protein into some snacks to help you feel satisfied. Turkey breast, lean ham or beef strips with vegie dip can make a quick nutritious snack. Lentils, chickpeas and tofu can also provide quick and easy meals and snacks.
The important thing to remember is variety. Your body needs a range of different vitamins and minerals to remain healthy so be sure to include plenty of colour when choosing your snacks, and this doesn't mean several different colours of icing on the donut!
Eat well, eat often and ensure plenty of proper good quality hours of sleep, and your energy levels will return to normal. Feeling better and looking good starts and finishes with your nutrition. Get it right, and you will be thankful for it!

Q: Formtastic Scaffolding Error using Formtastic Gem I'm using ruby 1.8.7 and rails 3.2.14. I'm following the railscast video #184 on using formtastic. In there the guy uses script/generate formtastic_stylesheets. Since I'm using ruby 3.2.14 I did rails generate formtastic_stylesheets but this brings up the error: Could not find generator formtastic_stylesheets . Does anyone know the correct way to scaffold the needed stylesheets, or is there a more recent tutorial and/or gem on creating forms?
Thank you!

A: From the section about stylesheets in the Formtastic README:

Rails 3.1 introduces an asset pipeline that allows plugins like Formtastic to serve their own Stylesheets, Javascripts, etc without having to run generators that copy them across to the host application. Formtastic makes three stylesheets available as an Engine, you just need to require them in your global stylesheets.

# app/assets/stylesheets/application.css
*= require formtastic
*= require my_formtastic_changes`

Perhaps that's what you're looking for.

From policy to entrepreneurship: Josh Oppenheimer '11 shares his different experiences advancing healthcare. ›
From policy to entrepreneurship: Josh Oppenheimer '11 shares his different experiences advancing healthcare.
Thursday, Dec 7, 2017
by Erin Wispelwey
Erin: I know it's only been six years since you left Princeton, but are you headed in the direction you expected?
Josh: I knew going into Princeton that I wanted to become a doctor, but it was through experiences at Princeton and afterwards that I realized how I wanted to be involved with health system change outside of the clinical setting. Working with patients is very satisfying—you get to know people and have the short-term satisfaction of knowing you are helping that one person—but I'm also interested in the big picture of how our health system could work better for people battling disease.
Erin: What did you value most about the GHP experience at Princeton?
Josh: I liked the interdisciplinarity of GHP. In the pre-med curriculum, you end up taking more natural science courses, but as a Woodrow Wilson School major and a GHP student I took social science courses that offered different approaches and perspectives to health and healthcare. In GHP, there was a nice mix of natural sciences as well as anthropology and more critical perspectives. When you deal with complex issues such as those seen in Global Health, multidisciplinary perspectives are crucial.
Erin: Can you tell me more about your undergraduate internship and research experience.
Josh: Between my sophomore and junior years, while the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was being drafted and debated, I completed a health policy internship at a DC think tank, the Center for the Study of the Presidency & Congress. We sought to help policy makers incorporate public health system-focused solutions into healthcare reform. For my senior thesis, I conducted field research and quantitative analysis of health reform in Mexico. This senior thesis research experience challenged me in new ways. In 2001, Mexico had passed a comprehensive health reform aimed at achieving universal health insurance coverage. Although there weren't major changes in individual health outcomes associated with implementation of the new health insurance program, there were reductions in health-related bankruptcy. Personally, this was the first time I had put in the work to understand a topic with the thoroughness expected of academic experts. GHP faculty connections and relationships opened the door for me to have a lot of fascinating conversations in Mexico at the government, health care provider, and individual-patient levels. The opportunity to see the health care delivery system and to talk to people on the ground-level led to a better research process and a more nuanced and interesting final project.
Erin: How have you been involved in health policy, health access, or universal health care reform since you left Princeton?
Josh: While in medical school, at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, I was involved with health policy and advocacy work with Doctors for America and Physicians for Human Rights. Two foci were to improve patient access to healthcare by increasing ACA enrollment and to bring more doctors into advocacy. I applied what I learned from my senior thesis research in Mexico to New York State. One of the big issues the Mexican government struggled with was making sure that people who were eligible would actually get enrolled in the program; with the ACA, there have been similar challenges related to enrollment. There are many things we can learn across systems about best practices. I also spent a summer in Lima, Peru conducting qualitative research with Partners in Health. We were implementing a program where community health workers provided home-based support for people living with HIV starting antiretroviral therapy. And I took a year off form medical school to complete the MBA program at the University of Cambridge Judge Business School. Learning about and conducting operations research in the UK provided fascinating insights into the National Health Service.
Erin: Tell me more about your MBA experience and your entrepreneurial pursuits.
Josh: While my MBA was a general management program, I was also able to pursue my interest in improving healthcare systems. One thing that I began to realize about myself while completing my MBA was that I want to shape health system change in a more immediate, tangible fashion, than I could achieve through research and advocacy activities alone, which are inherently focused on influencing policy makers. This was one of the reasons that I decided to learn more about entrepreneurship during my MBA. Through entrepreneurship, you can apply creativity and test ideas in days, weeks and months, rather than years and decades. If I can envision a new tool to help patients, put together a team of collaborators to build that tool, and convince investors to put resources toward develop that tool, I can move health forward in the shorter term.
Erin: So in addition to being a full-time Emergency Medicine Resident at George Washington University Hospital, you've also co-founded a healthcare start-up? Can you tell me more about your role at this company and what the "big idea" is?
Josh: My company is transformative.ai. We apply machine learning to predict sudden cardiac arrest. There are subtle changes to the heart's electrical system that precede cardiac arrest, and computers can identify these changes before the trained eye of a cardiologist can spot them. Our predictive software program analyzes continuous EKG data—collected either in-hospital or at home—and issues a warning before the deadly event occurs, giving patients and clinicians time to prepare for life-saving but time-sensitive interventions like defibrillation. Our team is currently working with several hospitals in Europe to refine our algorithm and to develop the software that clinicians and patients will use. My co-founders are machine learning experts, while my role focuses on shaping how this technology could integrate with the existing healthcare system, both clinically and in terms of health economics. I am also working with our clinical research partners to set up the studies that we need to carry out before applying for regulatory approval. We are still developing our product, but it is very rewarding to attempt to bring a new tool to the health system that could improve patients' lives.
Erin: Which components of the GHP program have stuck with you post-graduation. What skills—hard or soft—have translated to life after college?
Josh: That's a tough question. I grew quite a bit at Princeton, but it's hard to attribute skills to any one experience. Actually, one of my most formative times at Princeton came as Managing Editor of the Daily Princetonian. The writing, research, and collaborative skills I developed were more practical than many of my class assignments. The interview skills I honed at the paper prepared me for patient interactions more readily than most of my pre-med courses.
The other huge lesson I learned from Princeton, specifically through exploring complex, global health challenges in the classroom, is the need for humility. There is a law of unintended consequences: you can set up a system that makes sense on paper, but once it gets out to the world it can have perverse incentives that lead to the direct opposite of what you intended, or negative externalities. It's always important to have humility about what you are trying to accomplish. Even if the project succeeds, what are the consequences that may occur? For example, with the cardiac arrest prediction system, our goal is to give patients a warning that would lower the chance of death following a sudden cardiac arrest. But one realization that shaped our decision to design this technology to be used only by patients at high risk of cardiac arrest is that if you give this technology to a patient that is otherwise healthy and just wants to have the latest gadget—if their overall risk of a cardiac arrest is low, you are going to have a lot of false positives. Even if the project goes to the right group of patients, there will still be false positives. What effect will this have on patient anxiety? What effect will this have on doctors? Will it have a "boy who cried wolf" effect for clinicians tired of hearing false alarms? So I always think, "even if this goes right, what can go wrong?"
Erin: What drew you to the field of Emergency Medicine, in particular?
Josh: As part of my day-to-day work in the Emergency Department, I interact with people who are worried about what is going on in their body or what is happening with a loved one. In that moment, doctors have an opportunity to provide comfort and assurance to help people get through really challenging times. I know from talking to friends and family that the time they spend in the ED is an experience that they sometimes remember for many years because it was traumatic or scary. I have an incredible opportunity to be the person who can make that experience more tolerable—and the conversations I have with my patients are ones they might remember for years.
Erin: Any thoughts, advice, or words of wisdom for current GHP students?
Josh: My biggest piece of advice to current students is to spend time doing the activities that you enjoy and develop skills outside of what you see as linear steps toward your chosen career. A lot of the skills you develop at Princeton are highly transferable. Although I knew early on that I wanted to go to medical school, I spent a low amount of time doing traditional pre-med activities that got me to that next hurdle. I was able to spend a lot of time doing activities that I enjoyed, which have influenced my career or enhanced my skills in unpredictable ways. For example, majoring in public policy at the Woodrow Wilson School; interviewing, writing, and editing for the Daily Princetonian; and learning to apply interdisciplinary methods with The Global Health Program have influenced the career choices I've made. College is the time to explore and experiment with things you are interested in trying; take advantage of what Princeton has to offer—especially the opportunities out of the bubble—going abroad, internships etc.

Q: Possibly missing properties in MouseEventsArg e So I am trying to set up a function that allows me to move objects around a windows form with the mouse and using MouseEventsArg e seems to be that way to go.  I have been trying to use properties such as .button, .location, .X and .Y because that is what I see pop up most often when I do a Google search for my problem. But I keep getting errors telling me that those properties are not defined. I go to look at MouseEventsArg e and all I see is .buttonleft, .buttonright, .button and so on. Is there something that I am missing or  I just being very stupid.
 private void mouseLocation;

 private void  button1_mousedown (object sender,       MouseEventArgs e)
{
      if (e.Button == System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons. Left)
   {
     Mouse Location = e.Location;
   }

private void button1_MouseMove  (object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
     if (e.button == System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left)
   {
       this.Left = e.X + this.Left - MouseLocation.X;
       this.Top = e.Y + this.Top - MouseLocation.Y;
    }
}

(Sorry if this looks bad, I am doing this from my phone.)

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, 30 January 2019 – inTechnology Distribution, in conjunction with Smoothwall, the leading developer of real-time, content aware web filtering and monitoring solutions, announced today it will be officially launching their child safeguarding technology "RADAR" across Australia on Safer Internet Day, Tuesday 5th February 2019.
RADAR provides intelligent and intuitive student activity monitoring to identify online threats before they become real-life incidents. Using a pre-graded severity alert system, RADAR instantly notifies administrators of critical incidents such as cyberbullying, self-harm, suicide, and radicalization.
With a highly visual interface, RADAR helps administrators evaluate current themes in student online activity and enables staff to view the visual context of an alert. Individual online and offline keystroke monitoring prompts the software to capture everything displayed or typed on the device.
RADAR's launch comes shortly after the release of new research published on the eSafety Commissioner's website revealing that cyberbullying can have a greater detrimental impact on young people than face-to-face bullying, resulting in greater levels of anxiety, stress and depression as well as substance abuse and peer problems.
"RADAR offers significant opportunities for education focused channel partners and allows existing Smoothwall customers to activate RADAR with the click of a button," said Tanya West, Smoothwall Product Manager at inTechnology Distribution.
The official launch will coincide with the eSafety Commissioner's nationwide "Safer Internet Day" initiative to make the internet a safer place for Australian families, communities and schools. This initiative is an annual event held on Tuesday 5 February to help encourage a better internet. This year's theme – 'Together for a better internet' encourages individuals to create a better internet by developing four, critical skills: Respect, Responsibility, Reasoning and Resilience.
"Respectful communication, responsible use of technology, the ability to reason and critically evaluate online content, and the resilience to withstand harmful conduct or contact online—these are the behaviours and skills that will help us all thrive in a connected world," said Inman Grant.
inTechnology Distribution is actively recruiting a number of additional channel partners who are focused on education and committed to building a safer internet for schools, families and communities across Australia.
Attend the official Australian launch to see RADAR first-hand and support Safer Internet Day with us!

It is fine to be hard-headed negotiator, but do it with both hands on the table and your sleeves rolled up.
Trust is always superior to contracts, legal agreements and law courts.
Keld Jensen demonstrates the mindset, tactics, and communication skills corporate leaders must master in order to greatly expand the possibilities and financial returns of their business dealings. Jensen provides an essential playbook for successful deal-making that a savvy corporate executive cannot be without.
Effective negotiation skills have become an indispensable competency in the arsenal of the corporate chief executive. Business leaders who are able to optimize the potential of commercial transactions are in increasing demand by corporate organizations, and their competence has been recognized by market analysts and the media. Senior managers who are able to successfully negotiate both internally and externally are several steps ahead of their peers. When your job security is measured by how effectively you create value for your customers and dividends for your shareholders, a mastery of NegoEconomics™ signals exemplary corporate leadership and the tipping point of individual excellence.
Jensen's unique approach to corporate effectiveness equips executives with the skills to expand value in any business transaction by stressing cooperation over an "us-versus-them" mentality. Whether the executive is working with six members of the board of directors, 6,000 global employees, or one supplier partner, Keld Jensen's approach facilitates a mutually beneficial outcome: if negotiators share information and explore collaborative approaches to their deal, both parties get more out of the transaction than they previously thought possible.
Jensen has been at the forefront of the discussion on innovative negotiation strategies that are steering companies away from the zero-sum approach to a more cooperative one based on trust, honesty and fair dealing. His "the bigger the pie, the bigger the slice" logic has acquired him a loyal following amongst senior executive decision makers. These influential leaders span numerous industrial sectors, including energy, travel, tourism, financial services, automobile manufacturing, and telecommunications. Jensen seeks to reshape the established approach to negotiation by spearheading the idea that transparency ultimately leads to optimized outcomes grounded in mutual gains.
"Keld is one of the best and motivating negotiation masters that I have ever met. Keld has developed a powerful concept called "NegoEconomics" In my opinion, it should be mandatory to all negotiators, both on supplier and customer side to learn about the benefits of this concept."
"I can say without any doubt that Mr. Jensen's knowledge and experience places him as one of the leaders in the field of negotiations."
"After an exhaustive search for a provider of negotiations training for our European Sourcing personnel we decided to employ Keld Jensen's services. We made this decision based on Keld's stellar reputation as an engaging and informative instructor.
Individuals who attend Keld's negotiations training session are unanimous in their positive feedback. Keld delivers his course material in a manner that holds the interest of his audience. His thought-provoking questions assure active participation in course discussions and facilitate peer learning. His use of video-taped simulated negotiations and subsequent performance feedback is insightful for all participants.
Director - Global Procurement Excellence Donna A. Chappas CPSM, C.P.M.
"I have met and worked with Keld Jensen more times during the last 5 years.. His seminar in professional negotiation was ranked as one of the best seminars by the students among all seminars during the whole eMBA education at BMI.
"As a speakers' bureau owner, I was extremely intrigued with Mr. Jensen's extensive and impressive global background as an academic, an innovative thought leader, consultant, author and professional speaker. He's likely the only person in the world who can claim to be actively involved with and a contributor to the Thunderbird School of Global Management, the Copenhagen Business School and Forbes magazine.
"Mr. Jensen's contribution to business and society. International trade is fundamental to economic well-being; it is also critical to international relations and harmony.
Director Daniel L. Shapiro, Ph.D.
"I have had the pleasure and honor of being Keld Jensen's editor for two and a half years as he has been a contributor to Forbes.
"Mr. Keld Jensen has always been among the few of the best BMI faculty members.
"Mr. Keld Jensen's prolific writing and outstanding teaching skills are second to none, which is to be expected from one of the world's foremost experts in his field.
"His thought-provoking questions assure active participation in course discussions and facilitate peer learning. His use of video-taped simulated negotiations and subsequent performance feedback is insightful for all participants. As one of my colleagues stated, 'It was such a teaming experience, it was a good way to see myself in action and s. what I need to work on.' His commitment to the principle of anchoring any negotiation with the goal of growing the value for all parties is a refreshing change from the traditional, competitive approach to negotiations."
"Keld is dynamic in the classroom, holding the listeners´attention through the use of groundbreaking concepts and new ways of looking at things. He illuminates and entertains. "
"Keld Jensen has a unique understanding and depth of expertise in his craft, with a creative sense of how to be effective in these turbulent times. He's the best expert in the field."

After writing .img file to the HDD with dd I rebooted and got a message 'invalid magic number, boot kernel first, then pressed a key and got into GRUB with 3 menu entries for Zeroshell.
What is the correct process to install to a HDD?
the Install Manager makes the installation on disk (also USB Flash) much faster and easier. To use the Install Manager you need Zeroshell 3.0.0 with the package 30200 installed.
Now that you explained how to get the package, I'll try it 1st thing once I get to the office!
Are you saying 1Mb block size would fix the install via dd?
Turns out that my issues with dd were due to a faulty external USB case.
It worked fine after I connected hdd via IDE cable.
I have not had a chance to use install manager as I tried with a drive that was created via dd and it could not use it.

London Horror Comic over at BBC Radio 4 Interviewed on Horror Comics
We kick in at about 24 min 30 secs

Corrupt comics – London Horror Comic on BBC Radio 4
From the BBC website:
"These comics, so the theory went, were corrupting the imaginations of children and inflaming them with fear of the unknown."
The Gorbals Vampire will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 at 2300 GMT on Tuesday 30 March, and will be available on BBC iPlayer.
London Horror Comic is interviewed as part of the radio show, so listen out if you can.
Airport Limbo
Anything becomes food when you're waiting for your flight.
BBC Radio 4 Interview
I finished an interview about horror comics for BBC Radio 4 which goes out 23:00 on March 30.
I thought about doing my best Mark Kermode impression for the recording, but then realised to I would have had to slam horror comics for not being as good as The Exorcist film if I wanted to pull the impression off.
The interview was fun.
I got a chance to talk about the appeal of horror comics, the change in styles over the years and the danger of horror comics falling into the hands of kids.
One of the things I had to point out was that, by and large, kids don't really have access to the range of comics they did back in the fifties.
Super hero reprint titles and the Cartoon Network-style range of comics make up all that kids are likely to find in the local newsagents or WHSmith.
Any material a few degrees left of 'capes and cowls' is likely to be held in a local comic shop, which requires the walking cash machine that is a parent, who will no doubt inspect any purchase before buying.
If you're after horror comics, you have to seek them out; they don't jump out at you from shelves. You also have to be well-informed about what's available and suitably cashed up to the point where you don't ask for pocket money.
The arguement that horror comics warp fragile little minds is weakend by kids having a lack of direct access to much wider material in comics form.
This is weird when you consider that some of the best selling kids novels are horror stories – wizards and werewolves.

What is the appeal that makes you steal from hard working people, then get it honestly?
How do you sleep at night after robbing the single mother who works so hard to take care of her mentally or physically disabled child? Or better yet, the older lady on the block who toiled all her life, paying into social security, only to get enough to keep her lights on. Isn't it bad enough that this same woman may have to choose between getting her prescriptions or having food to eat? No, you've got to steal from her too?
*Disclaimer* I haven't recently been robbed, just something that's been on my mind and heart for the past few days.

Supports Determined Reasonable and Necessary Supports Cannot be Partially Funded
Posted on 14 February, 18 14 February, 18 AuthorAndrew LindLeave a comment
The Federal Court case of McGarrigle v National Disability Insurance Agency [2017] FCA 308 has answered questions of law with respect to the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 (Cth) (NDIS Act), particularly in relation to section 34(1). The court has also refused to comment on other points of law which should be considered in an "appropriate case".
In this case the Federal Court of Australia overturned a decision by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal regarding the provision of funding under the National Disability Insurance Scheme ("NDIS") where the Applicant, Mr McGarrigle, sought funding for the full costs of transport to and from his workplaces.
Ultimately, the Federal Court held that the NDIS requires that where participants' supports are held to be reasonable and necessary supports, this means wholly or fully funded, and not partially funded after consideration of irrelevant factors.
On what part financial sustainability plays in approving Participants' plans, Mortimer J held that this "important issue" should await determination in an appropriate case.
Facts of the Case
Mr McGarrigle (the Applicant) became a participant in the National Disability Insurance Scheme ('NDIS') in 2013. Mr McGarrigle lived with his parents in Victoria and was described by the court as a 21-year-old man who had autism spectrum disorder and an intellectual disability.
As part of his participants support plan, Mr McGarrigle sought that the NDIA fund $15, 850 a year to pay for transport to and from his workplaces, Karingal Kommerical and Encompass Community Services. This, Mr McGarrigle contended, came within the definition of "reasonable and necessary supports" under the NDIS Act and would facilitate his independence.
The National Disability Insurance Agency ('NDIA') agreed to fund only 75% of the $15 850.
Mr McGarrigle appealed this decision and brought the matter before the Administrative Appeals Tribunal in Victoria. The AAT also upheld the NDIA's decision.
Mr McGarrigle appealed to the Federal Court of Australia.
Issues Before the Federal Court
The Federal Court of Australia had to decide on eight questions of law which were condensed into four main propositions in Mr McGarrigle's submissions and addressed by his honour Mortimer J in this way also.[1] These were:
Whether the Tribunal misconstrued or misapplied s 34(1) of the Act by finding that it could fund a proportion of the cost of a support which had been found to be "reasonable and necessary";
Whether the Tribunal wrongly elevated the need to ensure financial sustainability of the NDIS over the criteria in 34(1);
Whether the Tribunal took into account an irrelevant consideration by relying on policies that are inconsistent with s 34(1);
Alternatively to the above three contentions, whether the Tribunal failed to respond to detailed claims from the applicant that his weekday transport met the criteria in s 34(1) and therefore should have been fully funded.
Decision of the Federal Court
The Federal Court overturned the Tribunal's decision and held that the full amount of the travel costs should be funded.
The Tribunal misconstrued and misapplied s 34(1) of the Act by finding that it could fund a proportion of the cost of a support which had been found to be "reasonable and necessary";
The Federal Court held that the Tribunal failed to follow the appropriate process under s 34(1) to decide whether Mr McGarrigle's supports were reasonable and necessary. For a more detailed explanation of this decision, please follow this link.
His Honour rejected the Applicant's submission that the Tribunal had wrongly applied rule 2.5 of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Supports for Participants) Rules 2013 (Cth) based on the circumstances of the case, namely that the Tribunal had rejected full funding by virtue of misconstruing s 34(1). His Honour was therefore reluctant to comment on this point of law, and suggested that this "important issue" be decided in an appropriate case.
His Honour refused to comment on this issue as he had already found that the Applicant had succeeded on Issue 1 of the case.

The Amphibious Jew
About Rabbi Jeffrey
Jeffrey Schein is a Reconstructionist Rabbi (1977) who focuses on Jewish education. Since earning his Ed.D. in Curriculum from Temple University (1980), he has guided more than one hundred students pursuing their Masters in Jewish Education at Siegal College in Cleveland. As a hands-on educator, he worked as the national education director for the Jewish Reconstructionist movement (1985 – 2005), developing the movement's curricular and camp structures. He continues to contribute to this endeavor as the Senior Education Consultant for The Mordecai M. Kaplan Center for Jewish Peoplehood.
Jeffrey is also the founding Rabbi of Kol HaLev, Cleveland's Reconstructionist Jewish Community. He was the first non-pulpit Rabbi to receive the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College's Ira Eisenstein Award for Community Service. He and his wife, Deborah, an early childhood educator and educational development consultant, are the proud parents of Ben, Jonah, and Hana. Together, he and Deborah create educational programs for parenting, professional development, and early childhood Jewish education, including "The 100 Languages of Children Meet the 70 Faces of Torah", designed to create frameworks for learning across the Jewish life cycle. More about Jeffrey and Deborah's educational programming can be found at GrowingWonder.com
Jeffrey's interest in "amphibious Jewish learning" relates to his deep commitment to empowering parents to serve as the first educators of their children. Establishing patterns of Jewish family living that are as natural as "swimming in water" accounts for much of his work as a family educator. Jeffrey greatest current passion is related to Judaism and technology; he believes that it is critical for people to pull out of the digital waters that constantly envelop us, and do the mammalian work of using Jewish values to filter and filtrate our digital lives. Jeffrey's project, Text Me: Ancient Jewish Wisdom Meets Contemporary Technology, a joint endeavor of the Jewish Education Center of Cleveland and The Covenant Foundation, helps uncover a deeper understanding of freedom in the digital age. More on Jeffrey's work in this arena can be found on the Kaplan Center website, including at kaplancenter.org/education-corner.
Beyond the Reconstructionist community, Jeffrey has served in leadership positions for the Coalition for Alternatives in Jewish Education (CAJE) and the Association for Institutions of Higher Jewish Learning of North America. He is the author or co-author of numerous books including Growing Together: Resources, Programs and Experiences for Jewish Family Education (ARE/Behrman House), and most recently Kol Ha-No'ar: The Voice of Children, a prayer book for young children and their families (Jewish Reconstructionist Federation).

This just in: I had a friend mention that she didn't think gun research would work due to two reasons: (1) It would take too long and (2) people would still choose sides on the research results.
My less-than-clever retort was "2+2 will always equal 4".
Then, I thought about this some more and decided there were times were math could be used to fool you.
Newt Gingrich said, a month after Obama took over the presidency that "There are more people on food stamps than at any other time in history." Newt was right.
The implication is that in a single month, Obama was responsible for every single person on food stamps. What had actually happened was that the economy crashed at the end of the Bush administration. It was continuing to sink for the first few months of Obama's administration. So, under Bush, a record was set for people on food stamps. As soon as Obama took over, and one more person signed up for food stamps..a new record was set.
So, one person signing up for food stamps under Obama allowed Newt to rightfully say what he said.
Suppose a drug company has a new product; an antidepressant called drug XYZ. The FDA will only approve use of this drug if there are 3 successful trials showing this drug can outperform a placebo. So, the drug company runs 100 trials. In 80 of those trials, the drug does no better than a placebo. In 17 of those trials, the placebo actually outperforms the drug. In 3 trials, the drug outperforms the placebo.
The drug company then throws out 97 of the trials that didn't give them the results they wanted. Instead, they publish the 3 trials out of 100 that seemed to show their drug worked.
The FDA approves this because the 3 trial standard has been met.
A broker sends out 100,000 texts. In half of these he recommends buying stock in company XYZ as it will increase in value during the year. In the other half of these, he recommends the exact opposite saying that the company will decrease in value next year.
Unless the company stock does not change at all, this broker will be right in half of his texts.
Next year, he does it again. However, this time, he only sends the texts to the 50,000 that got the right recommendation last year. He claims "I was right last year!" In the new text, he has another company but dhe sends the say 50/50 recommendation; half say "buy" and half say "sell".
Again, at the end of the year, half of these texts will be correct.
This means that 25,000 have gotten texts that accurately predicted the market.
He does this over an over; sending out 25,000 (50% buy and 50% sell) and now 12,500 will get the right recommendation. This is 12,500 that have only seen texts from this broker that have been 100% correct.
Every year he has a smaller pool to send to. Every year, half will get good recommendations and every year, half think he is a genius….even though he is wrong half the time.
Those that get bad recommendations are dropped from his mailing list. Those that get good recommendations have no idea about the 50% that got bad recommendations.
Math counts and 2+2 will always equal 4. However, we can all be fooled; especially when we are hearing what we want to hear.

Q: setting core-ajax development/production url with grunt I am trying to build a Polymer webapp that relies on REST APIs based on a Node.js backend.
I have scaffolded my project with Yeoman and using Mongoskin to create a RESTful interface with the backend.
I am using the core-ajax element passing it my localhost url when I am developing, however every time I deploy to heroku I have to change this url to connect to the right backend APIs.
I believe I can access the process.env.NODE_ENV variable only backend side, therefore I am asking if there is a way to tell grunt to change this url when I build my dist folder.
The only option I have in mind is:

*

*Create a globals-element with the url

*Setting the production url in this element in the index.html

*Setting the localhost url in this element in a new development.html that I will use while testing locally

*Exclude development.html the during the grunt build

Is there a more elegant way to do that?

Hotspots, polar wander, Mesozoic convection and the geoid
Anderson, Don L. (1982) Hotspots, polar wander, Mesozoic convection and the geoid. Nature, 297 (5865). pp. 391-393. ISSN 0028-0836. http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20140506-151853106
The geoid bears little relation to present tectonic features of the Earth other than trenches and hotspots. The Mesozoic supercontinent of Pangea, however, apparently occupied a central position in the Atlantic–African geoid high. This and the equatorial Pacific geoid high contain most of the world's hotspots. The plateaus and rises which are now in the western Pacific formed in the Pacific geoid high and this may have been the early Mesozoic–late Palaeozoic position of a large part of Asia and other fragments of the Pacific rim continents. The major global geoid highs were regions of extensive Cretaceous volcanism and may be the former sites of continental aggregations and mantle insulation and, therefore, hotter-than-normal mantle. The pent-up heat causes rifts and hotspots and results in uplift, magmatism, fragmentation and dispersal of the continents and the subsequent formation of plateaus, aseismic ridges and seamount chains which cause a global rise in sea-level. Convection in the upper mantle caused by such lateral temperature gradients is intrinsically episodic. A geoid anomaly of 50 m can be formed in about 100 Myr by continental insulation. We show here that such geoid anomalies are long-lived and may be used to remove the ambiguity in early Mesozoic–late Palaeozoic plate reconstructions. Geoid highs control the rotation axis of the Earth and, in effect, bring long-lived continental aggregations to the Equator. Many aspects of continental geology such as vertical-tectonics and episodicity of magmatism and transgressions can be explained by continental insulation.
