Hello everyone! I wanted to let you all in on one of my not-so-secret, multipurpose weapons; castor oil! I know, right? When I first heard through the grapevine about this amazing substance, my first thought was "isn't that a laxative?"
Needless to say, I was unaware of all its magical powers. So, here are a few ways I use castor oil & why it's one of my necessities. One of the main reasons for castor oil's effectiveness is it's ability to penetrate deeper than other natural oils. The benefits seep deep into the skin, which is why it's been used for many centuries to cure dozens of ailments.
For Hair:: Castor oil is one of the most important natural oils that I use to deep condition my hair. Here's my post about how I use natural oils, including castor oil. Basically, castor oil helps stimulate hair growth & contains tons of goodness that contributes to the strengthening of strands.
Makeup Remover:: Waterproof eye makeup can be a total pain to remove. & it almost never comes completely off (at least in my experience). Castor oil works miracles at removing even the toughest of waterproof eyeliners/mascaras.
Moisturizer:: Sometimes I use castor oil on my face & lips because it is extremely beneficial for the skin. It improves the elasticity, which delays the occurrence of wrinkles. It doesn't make me breakout at all, which is awesome because everything tends to make me breakout. It's actually supposed to prevent acne, as well. Since it is rather thick, I rinse it off after I've rubbed it into my skin.
Tip: Warm it up in between your fingers before application. The skin always absorbs better through warmth.
Longer lashes:: Part of my nightly routine is rubbing a bit of castor oil on my lashes. Not only does this remove all my eye makeup, leaving the castor oil on overnight will stimulate lash growth. It also helps with getting rid of dark circles!
Thicker Brows:: Add a little to the brows overnight & overtime they'll end up growing thicker. The castor oil penetrates deep into the follicles, allowing them to grow faster. This is perfect since bushy brows are a huge thing on the runway lately.
Nail growth:: It's always important to make sure the nail beds are hydrated. I like to add a bit of castor oil to help each nail grow faster (even the toenails). It's extremely moisturizing & able to penetrate deep within the nail bed to be extra effective. Just a tiny bit around the cuticle & you're good to go!
This sounds amazing for hair! I should really try it out!
Yes it's awesome! Love your blog btw!

Pinging a cellphone is justified by exigent circumstances, court holds
Orin S. Kerr | 8.1.2016 4:26 PM
In a decision issued today in United States v. Caraballo, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (per Judge Guido Calabresi) held that police did not violate the Fourth Amendment when they "pinged" a suspect's cellphone because exigent circumstances existed. I find the outcome plausible on its facts, but the analysis strikes me as pretty unusual. Here are the details:
Frank Caraballo was a known drug dealer who was under investigation by narcotics officers. A woman who was an associate of his was found slain in an apparent execution-style killing. There was some reason to suspect that Caraballo was behind the killing. Two months earlier, the woman had told the police that she sold drugs with Caraballo and that he would "kill her" if he knew she was speaking to them. The police knew Caraballo's cellphone number, so they asked the carrier, Sprint, to "ping" the phone. Pinging a phone sends a request for information to the GPS on the phone. The GPS returns the location within a range of 8 to 46 meters. As I read the opinion, the officers made the request four to five hours after the woman's body was discovered.
Sprint had the officers fill out an exigency request form, presumably to satisfy 18 U.S.C. 2702(c)(4), which allows the disclosure of non-content information about a cellphone account "to a governmental entity, if the provider, in good faith, believes that an emergency involving danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires disclosure without delay of information relating to the emergency[.]" The officers said that the reason for the emergency was "[m]ale with phones is suspect in possible homicide."
Sprint pinged the phone 15 times until police confirmed that Caraballo's car was at a local McDonald's. That led to Caraballo's arrest, at which point he made incriminating statements. Caraballo moved to suppress the statements as fruit of an unlawful search of his phone when police "pinged" it. The government responded that the pinging was not a search; if it was a search, it was a reasonable search based on exigent circumstances; and if it was an unreasonable search, the good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule applied.
The court's opinion notes the uncertainty of whether a search occurred at all. The opinion bypasses this question by assuming that a search occurred and ruling only that any search was reasonable because it was justified by exigent circumstances. As some readers know, exigent circumstances are usually based on a pressing emergency. The basic idea is that if the government has to act quickly, because the evidence would be gone or the public harmed by the delay in getting a warrant, then the government can conduct a warrantless search or seizure as long as it is reasonable under the totality of the circumstances.
The court's analysis of exigent circumstances breaks down into two parts. The first is what you might call traditional exigent circumstances analysis. Caraballo was a suspect in a violent killing who might have been armed, and if he killed the victim, he might try to kill others, including government informants who had turned against him. Also, the officers testified that although it would have taken only six hours to get a warrant, it probably would have taken "days or weeks" for Sprint to execute the warrant and ping the phone.
I think these arguments provide a pretty weak basis for exigent circumstances. The case that Caraballo was behind the killing was plausible but not strong, and the grounds for thinking he was going to hurt others if he was behind the killing itself seem pretty speculative. The concern that Sprint might delay in executing the warrant is interesting, although it's not obvious that it provides an argument against getting a warrant in the first place (especially given that the officers believed they had probable cause that Caraballo was a drug dealer but not that he was the killer). But at least these arguments are sound in traditional exigent circumstances analysis, so they're pretty fact-bound points.
The second part of the exigent circumstances analysis is more doctrinally novel. Judge Calabresi quotes a passage from a prior case saying that the amount of force and the degree of privacy invasion used in carrying out a search and seizure are relevant to reasonableness. From that, he deduces a somewhat different principle:
We read this language to mean that the greater the invasion of privacy, e.g., of a person's home, see Florida v. Jardines, 133 S. Ct. 1409, 1414 (2013) ("[W]hen it comes to the Fourth Amendment, the home is first among equals."), and the clearer the restrictions on police behavior in the absence of exigency, the more stringent the requirements that the search be urgently undertaken in order for the exigency exception to apply. In this respect, exigency analysis incorporates both principles of objectively proper officer behavior and the degree of privacy invasion involved.
The fact that the officers apparently acted in good faith and that their conduct may not have been a search at all then weighs in favor of exigent circumstances:
At the same time, and significantly, the degree of the officers' intrusion into Caraballo's privacy was relatively slight. First of all, the officers showed due regard for applicable law in conducting their search. In the words of the District Court, the officers "held a good faith, reasonable belief that there was a serious and imminent threat to human life and that federal law authorized a warrantless cell phone pinging in those circumstances." Caraballo, 963 F. Supp. 2d at 346 (emphasis added). Indeed, not only was this belief consistent with the officers' limited experience with pinging, but it was also endorsed by the county's state attorney, who viewed the course of action as "appropriate." Id.
Moreover, contrary to the privacy interests at stake in Dorman and MacDonald, any expectation of privacy that Caraballo had in his cell-phone location was dubious at best. Indeed, given that the search took place prior to the Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Jones, 132 S. Ct. 945 (2012), Caraballo would have struggled to point to any authority that would support an argument that he had a reasonable expectation of privacy in this information. See United States v. Aguiar, 737 F.3d 251, 261 (2d Cir. 2013) ("The Supreme Court's decision in [United States v. Knotts, 460 U.S. 276 (1983)] stood for the proposition that the warrantless use of a tracking device to monitor a vehicle on public roads did not violate the Fourth Amendment."). Moreover, the fact that the question of the degree of privacy that adheres to these sorts of information, to date, divides those Circuit courts that have spoken to the issue reinforces the conclusion that the intrusion here was not to an established, core privacy value.
Pardon me for wading into the Fourth Amendment nerd zone, but I tend to think this analysis is mixing up doctrinal boxes. Fourth Amendment law has three basic questions: 1) what is covered at all (what is a search or seizure), 2) when is a search or seizure reasonable, and 3) what are the remedies for violations. The exigent circumstances doctrine is about the second question. But Judge Calabresi's analysis seems to incorporate analysis from the first and third questions into the second.
Whether the government acted in good-faith belief of legality is generally a question of remedy, not whether the search was reasonable. Granted, the categories can blur (see Heien v. North Carolina), but it seems like more of a remedies question than a reasonableness question here. Similarly, whether a search occurred at all is a question to be analyzed under the first box rather than the second.
Perhaps the court's approach reflects a wish to avoid a broad Fourth Amendment ruling. Exigent circumstances is a classic case-by-case doctrine, so the court could approve the government's conduct here without saying much about other cases. There is a lot of value in a court proceeding cautiously in the face of new technologies and avoiding broad holdings. At the same time, there is also value in a court answering the hard questions raised when the three questions of Fourth Amendment law are kept distinct and a court has to answer them separately.

EU aims for deal on tackling failing banks this week
Published Mon, Mar 10 20142:18 AM EDT Updated Mon, Mar 10 20145:37 AM EDT
EU debate over bank closure rules continues
European Union governments and parliamentarians will try to reach a compromise this week on how to wind down failing banks, in marathon talks intended to settle who decides to close banks and who picks up the bill.
A deal in the negotiations, set to span three days, would be the final step in a European banking union that would mean one supervisor for all euro zone banks, one set of rules to close or restructure those in trouble and one common pot of money to pay for it.
The banking union, and the thorough clean-up of banks' books that will accompany it, is meant to restore banks' confidence in one another and boost lending to other businesses and households.
New lending has been throttled by banks' efforts to raise capital and reduce the bad loans that proliferated in the recession triggered by the global financial crisis and deepened by the euro zone's own sovereign debt crisis.

Policymakers agreed last year that the European Central Bank (ECB) will be the single supervisor for all euro zone banks and the ECB will take on its new responsibilities from November.
But talks on a single European agency to wind up or close failing banks, and on a single fund to back it up, have entered a crucial stage: EU governments, represented by finance ministers of the 28-nation bloc, and the European Parliament must reach a deal next week.
If they don't, there won't be enough time to complete the legislative process for the resolution mechanism before the last sitting of the current parliament in mid-April. The key law would be delayed by at least seven months, probably more.
"The ground is very well prepared, now we have to show political will. We will stay there (in the meeting) as long as it takes to find a solution," one EU official involved in the preparations for the talks said.
"It's clear to all EU member states that if we want to achieve an agreement there's only one direction to go - to try to accommodate the parliament," the official said.
The problem is that European governments and the European Parliament want different things.
Positions far apart
EU finance ministers agreed in early December that a decision on closing down a bank in the euro zone would be taken by the board of the resolution agency, but that decision must be signed into law by the EU's executive Commission and by all the EU finance ministers.
(Read more: Euro zone agrees 'backstop' for failing banks)
The European Parliament wants no involvement of EU finance ministers, arguing it would politicise the process.
Parliament also wants the ECB - the supervisor of all banks - to be the only institution that can declare a bank is failing and that its fate has to be resolved. EU governments want the single resolution agency board and national authorities to have a say.
Governments and parliamentarians also disagree on how quickly to build up the shared resolution fund and how soon all the money in it should be accessible to all countries.
The fund will be filled from contributions of all euro zone banks and is to reach, eventually, around 55 billion euros ($76 billion).
Governments want the fund to reach full capacity over 10 years and agreed the amount of money that would be available to all euro zone countries would increase by 10 percent each year, so that the fund would be fully mutualised after a decade.
In the meantime, if a euro zone country does not have enough money accumulated from the contributions of its own banks to cover the costs of closing one, its government would have to come up with the cash. If it cannot borrow that from the markets, it could ask the euro zone bailout fund for a loan.
The parliament believes this would not break the vicious circle of highly indebted governments trying to rescue banks that are failing because they lent to the government.
(Read more: 'Doom loop' for Europe's debt markets)
Parliamentarians therefore want all bank contributions to the resolutionfund to be fully available to all euro zone countries after three years, not 10.
This could make it unnecessary for governments to borrow at all, providing relief to battered public finances.
Whether banks would therefore have to pay in all the 55 billion more quickly as a result is another contentious issue.
Finally, policymakers have to decide if they will allow the single resolution fund to borrow on the market against the security of future contributions from banks if it is short of cash at any point, or if it should be allowed to borrow from the euro zone bailout fund or given government guarantees.
Even though all these issues have been known since early December, there has been no progress so far.
"No major issue has been solved, because we will go for solving them all together," the EU official said.
A deal is to be worked out over Monday and Tuesday, when euro zone and EU finance ministers meet to amend their initial position from December, and Wednesday when they will present the new stance to parliament.

El arte clásico de Eduardo Ramírez Villamizar
Eiger, Casimiro, 1909- 1987
The essay "El arte clásico de Eduardo Ramírez Villamizar" by art critic Casimiro Eiger is one of the first critical texts to address Eduardo Ramírez Villamizar's work as part of the geometric abstraction movement. Eiger considers Ramírez's abstract work among "the most elevated and purest expressions of the creative endeavor"; it demonstrates the determination to "be rid of" anything "extra-artistic." According to Eiger, Ramírez Villamizar casts aside secondary issues like "memory, strange feelings, [and] vital impurities" for the sake of a logical formulation capable of bringing about what he calls "beauty without accessories" and "absolute, free and comprehensive creation."
In the text "El arte clásico de Eduardo Ramírez Villamizar" (1922–2004), Casimiro Eiger—a Polish critic who lived in Colombia—discusses Ramírez Villamizar's abstract work as essentially self-referential because it is bound to form and to the material aspects of painting and objects. Over fifty years after the publication of this text, the notion of abstraction in Ramírez Villamizar's work that it puts forth continues to be relevant in certain contexts. Eiger asserts that Ramírez Villamizar is an artist in pursuit of absolute truth, who through abstraction, creates pictorial spaces with no reference whatsoever beyond the sphere of art. Ramírez Villamizar is presented as a classic sculptor insofar as a conscious and rational use of materials enables him to release his work from "the creations of nature." Eiger claims that Ramírez exercises strict control over the limits of his work, always keeping his formulation within the framework of art without "attempting to reach the transcendent vastness of the world."
Eiger's position is debatable. Texts by Ramírez Villamizar himself—among them "Homenaje a los Artífices Precolombinos" [1092011], "La Catedral y el Arzopispo"[1097821], and the interview "El sueño del orden" featured in Así Hablan los Artistas [1092041]—discuss how his life and work have been directly influenced by major issues like Catholicism, Pre-Columbian art, and violence in Colombia. His strain of abstraction was always informed by the incidents, events, and even inclinations affecting the artist himself and the county as a whole.
In 1953, Ramírez Villamizar painted Copa Azul [Blue Cup], probably the first painting made in Colombia in which geometric abstraction dominates the pictorial space. The artist was a pioneer of abstraction in Colombia, as well as one of its greatest proponents. A number of texts published between 1956 and 1964—among them "El Arte Clásico de Eduardo Ramírez Villamizar" by Eiger, "Un Poder Ordenador" [1093674] by Marta Traba, and "El Arte Absoluto" [1093770] by Walter Engel—begin to define exactly the meaning of abstraction. Ramírez Villamizar's work is central to abstraction and how it should be understood in the context of the local and international art scenes.

NSA Unlawfully Surveilled Kim Dotcom In New Zealand: Report
August 3, 2017 August 3, 2017 Around the Web
Source: NSA unlawfully surveiled Kim Dotcom in New Zealand: report
The National Security Agency (NSA) illegally used technology to spy on Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom, according to new documents from New Zealand's Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB).
The New Zealand Herald first reported that the GCSB told the nation's high court that it ceased all surveillance of Dotcom in early 2012, but that "limited" amounts of communications from Dotcom were later intercepted by its technology without the bureau's knowledge.
Dotcom was surveilled by the NSA and the GCSB in a joint intelligence operation named Operation Debut. According to the Herald, that surveillance was scheduled to end in January 2012, but the United States continued to use New Zealand's technology.
According to court documents obtained by the Herald, "Limited interception of some communications continued beyond the detasking date without the knowledge of GCSB staff."
The court papers don't explain how the NSA was able to use the GCSB's spying technology without the bureau's knowledge. According to the Herald, "The GCSB documents do contain an admission of NSA involvement, although it was not made outright."
Dotcom is facing charges of copyright infringement and money laundering related to Megaupload, a file-sharing website shut down in 2012. He is currently fighting U.S. attempts to extradite him from New Zealand.
In an interview with the Herald, he blasted the NSA for illegally using the GCSB's spying infrastructure and warned New Zealanders about the power the U.S. wields over their data.
"New Zealanders must know how much power a foreign state holds over their private information," Dotcom said.
"The NSA has unrestricted access to GCSB surveillance systems. In fact, most of the technology the GCSB uses was supplied by the NSA."
Dotcom said his legal team would take further action based on the news. "If the GCSB was aiding and abetting the NSA to spy directly on New Zealanders then the seriousness of the situation has changed dramatically and a truly independent inquiry and a new criminal investigation will be unavoidable."

Q: Particular diffeomorphism on a Riemann surface Let $S_g$ be a closed and oriented surface of genus $g\ge 2$.
Given any two finite subsets $P_1,P_2\subset S_g$ of points of the same cardinality and any bijection $\phi:P_1\rightarrow P_2$, I am wondering if it is always possible to find a diffeomorphism $f:S_g\rightarrow S_g$ such that:

*

*$f_*:\pi_1(S_g)\rightarrow \pi_1(S_g)$ is the identity

*$f|_{P_1}:P_1\rightarrow P_2$ is equal to $\phi$
If the answer to the general case is "no", then:

*is it "yes" for sets $P_1,P_2$ of low cardinality?

*is it "yes" if $p$ and $\phi(p)$ are sufficiently close to each other, for every $p\in P_1$?

A: Yes, you can find a map isotopic to the identity that sends any point $P$ to any other point $Q$ (assuming your manifold of dimension $\ge 2$ is connected). (Choose a smooth path from $P$ to $Q$ and choose a vector field tangent to that path that is compactly supported in a neighborhood of the path. Then flow along that vector field.) You can iterate this construction a finite number of times. (Make sure that neighborhood contains no other points from your list.)

BE OUR GUEST, BE OUR GUEST, PUT OUR MAGIC TO THE TEST!
Be Our Guest at the Beasts Castle has been a hit from the day it opened its Castle doors. We recently stopped in for a dinner reservation to see if we felt the same way. We were lucky enough to reserve an ideal dinning time of 5:00pm after about a month of trying. The location of the castle gave us a great view of the new Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and we were able to see the riders as they came down the hill out of the tunnel as we waited to be called in. The front of the castle was neatly decorated with some ugly looking trollish statues and the entrance once inside is grand. We enjoyed walking through the different locations upon entering the West Wing where we were seated. This is where you can witness the rose petals falling off the infamous rose. Make sure you look at the picture of the Beast that hangs on the wall so you can see it change quickly with the thunder, then count to ten and it will change again.
The service was outstanding. Our waiter was on point and was over the top friendly. I asked for Gingerale for my beverage and although they did not have it, he offered to make a homemade version of it for me (something I never heard of) Sprite with a splash of diet Coke (you learn something new everyday) and it was just like the real thing! My nine year old son had the child's Filet Mignon which was pretty fatty however for the price of a child's meal you can not beat getting a Filet Mignon. I had a grilled Chicken with vegetables which was moist and our other guest had a Strip Steak which also was fatty. Although I loved the theming of the Castle and really enjoyed the environment we were in, I would give the entrees a B-. As far as the desserts, well, that was a whole different story. After staring at the delicious looking sweets, we choose the Grey Stuff with the Brownie as well as the Strawberry Shortcake and both were over the moon awesome!!
We were celebrating my sons birthday while we were there and our waiter brought him a card signed by the Beast and Belle along with a plate with a trial of the Grey Stuff. When we were all finished we were invited to walk around the restaurant to look around and before exiting we took our pictures with the Beast. I loved being able to visit once. I am looking forward to visiting for a lunch reservationswhen they start as well as breakfast (fingers crossed) but I do not see myself stopping by for another dinner reservation the next time we are there.
Have you been before? Did you enjoy your meal as much as you did the theme of the restaurant? Are you looking forward to returning? Let us know what your thoughts are. Your opinions and advice may help others!

Simple Strategy to Make Daily Consistent Profit.
I have been using this Simple Strategy for a while and so far going on very good.
No point in using too complex betting system. More complex the betting system is the more room for error. Simple betting system like martingale system on auto bet works out very well.
Personally using Martingale on auto bet with Payouts set between ( 2.4 - 5 ). If you use a proper increase on loss and right base bet amount it can go on for quite long. Use this bet calculator to work it out.
Usually after betting for a while one side gets more and more reds. While the other side gets more and more green. Be wise switch sides when the side you are rolling on gets more and more reds.
Almost all the time the number of reds increase progressively unless you are super unlucky that you get hit by a long red streak early in the game. Immediately stop your rolls and take a break when the number of reds in a row crosses 18-20.
Its kind of tempting to keep on rolling building profits on top of profits but sadly it does not work out very well most of the time. As in this process you can lose it all.
The first priority must be to double your initial deposit amount, withdraw your deposit and then you can start the compounding work.
Withdrawing half profit you make and leaving half to add to your compounding works out good.
Anything can happen while gambling. Be wise, do not deposit all at once. At least set aside half of your bankroll for backup. If things do not work out well, you do not need to shell out more of your money for recovery.
Depositing all at once and making a good profit is appealing but this choice will definitely end with you spending more money for recovery or depositing less than you require for recovery as you have just lose it all.
If you are planning for a recovery this guide will definitely help you out: Recovery Guide!
No matter how good you are with all the planning, strategy and everything else. If you do not handle your emotions well , you will never make any profit.
It takes a lot of time and patience to build and only a few moment to lose it all. Its best to know before hand which things lead to a particular kind of emotions and do your best to avoid those. As when you feel it, it will already be too late.
Winning is 80% Mindset and 20% Strategy. If you already decided that you will never win gambling, you will never win in gambling. Similarly if you believe that you are a going to win, you will most likely work out ways to win.
Nice strategy I know it works because I used something similar.

Q: Locking required if Multiple threads are accessing & modifying different values from shared dictionary In a multiple threaded environment (C# .Net 4.5) if the multiple threads are using the same dictionary and simultaneously accessing & modifying the different values from different key location, do I still needs to implement locking mechanism.
I can assure at any point of time no two threads are accessing the values from same key location.
And In the same scenario if I implement the locking, will it affect the performance?


"When I first set up Björn Borg UK my colleagues in Sweden suggested Goodwille as the accounting firm to use. Today Goodwille helps us with accounting, HR, payroll and legal services. Really they help us with all the boring, yet important stuff. Goodwille has the necessary knowledge and experience of Scandinavian companies setting up business in the UK. They know what kind of challenges Swedish companies will run into here. They also know what the headquarters in Sweden will ask for, which is a great help".
The competition in the UK is fierce, which is a challenge in itself. It has also been challenging to explain the market conditions in the UK to their Swedish counterparts, where everything works very differently. Björn Borg Sweden is extremely well-known but that is not the case in the UK. Therefore, in the early stages, Björn Borg UK has had to focus most of their energy on marketing and sales.
Goodwille took care of the whole process, including the registration with Companies house, VAT registration and opening of a bank account. This meant that the team at Björn Borg were able to concentrate on developing brand awareness and sales revenue. Goodwille also provided HR support as Björn Borg quickly had to recruit new staff.
Björn Borg is today a fast growing UK company with a stable platform. They have ten employees, a showroom in central London, a distribution centre and a retail store opening in October 2012.

After all, you will start calling this place home soon enough, so you should learn something about the city and what to expect once you move there. Read on and see what we believe you should know before moving to Richmond, Virginia.
Located in the eastern-central part of the U.S. state of Virginia (officially the Commonwealth of Virginia), Richmond is the state's capital city and the center of Greater Richmond Area. According to the latest estimates, it is home to more than 220,000 residents, which makes it the fourth-most populous city in the state. It is located at the falls of the James River, and it does not belong to any county.
Richmond was founded by William Byrd II in 1737, so it can be said that it belongs to the group of the country's oldest cities. Its name comes from the suburban town Richmond in London. Soon after its founding, in 1780, it was set to serve as the capital of the Colony and Dominion of Virginia. Then during the 19th century, it also served as the capital of the Confederate States of America. By the end of the century, in 1871, it became an independent city, and it has been one ever since. Over the course of its long history, Richmond was the site of several important events. If you want to read about these and learn more about the colorful history of the city, follow this link.
The city of Richmond experiences a humid subtropical climate, which means that the summers are hot and humid, while winters can be quite cold. Precipitation is more or less evenly spread throughout the year, but you should know that there are dry periods, as well, when you can enjoy the mild and pleasant weather for several weeks. Even though the coldest period of the year lasts from late December to the beginning of February, the average daily temperature in January is usually around 37°F. Thus, don't worry about extremely harsh winters which are hard to put up with. In July, the hottest month of the year, the mean temperature is around 26°C, but sometimes it can even exceed 90°F.
Once you are completely sure about your decision to move to Richmond (which we believe you already are), it's time you started looking for the neighborhood to which you want to move. It is of utmost importance that you begin this search on time, as it might take you longer than you think to find the perfect part of the city which meets your needs and expectations. To save you the trouble of searching the Internet, we have singled out the top five neighborhoods in Richmond. Take a look at the list and read more about them.
If you have already thought about the attractions and must-visit places in Richmond (and you should know that there are many), you will find the following list useful. Here are some of the places we believe you should put on your list when you start planning your first tour around the city.

I'm sure most of you will agree when I say the best thing in the world is to have a long hot water shower at the end of the day. Bathrooms are as important as any other part of a home. It should be a go-to place to relax after a long day, so you can get into a zen mode.
However, bathrooms are also very busy and are prone to wear and tear, so its importance to have that balance between practicality and ambience.
If you are looking to achieve just that by renovating your bathroom, you are probably wondering where to begin, how to go about the process and thinking how much of an inconvenience it's going to be.
Getting your bathroom renovated can be a stress-free process if you go about it the right way and get the right people to do the job.
Follow these ten simple steps to get yourself the ideal bathroom that you want.
This is a pretty common issue we see as Plumbers. The drain has been blocked and is restricting water flow down the pipes. There are a list of variables that can cause these issues. Here are a few. Of course, if your drain is blocked, give us a call, we can investigate and solve the issue as quickly as possible.
Following on from our last blog, this is all about how to save water consumption in the bathroom. As suggested in the kitchen, fix any leaks straight away. It doesn't appear much drop by drop as it drips out the tap but over 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it certainly adds up.
A dribbling shower is no way to start your day and wake you up. Rather than feeling invigorated and ready to face the day, its likely you are feeling less than average.
What's the water pressure like in your shower? Do you know that shower water pressure is often ranked highly important when people view a property to move in to? Crap water pressure is infuriating, inefficient and a right pain!
Dux Quest piping, which is black in colour, was used heavily in properties built in the 1970s and 1980s is still in 2014 causing issues in New Zealand homes. Dux Quest was one of the first forms of plastic piping, after copper pipes that were used until the 1970s.
If you have any in your home you need to get rid of it. "When?" you ask. "Yesterday" we say.
Log burner or gas fireplace?
There are few things nicer than curling up by the fireplace in winter with snuggly socks, a blanket and a good book. We have lots of clients indecisive about whether to go for an actual log fire place or the slightly more contemporary option, a gas fire place.
Should a natural disaster strike, are you prepared? Do you know how to prepare water so it is safe to use, do you know how much the New Zealand Civil Defence suggests you keep stored for emergency supplies?
DIY your plumbing or hire a Wellington plumbing professional?
Know when your plumbing project is outside of your skill set.
Whatever you call it, its genius! An insinkerator, a garbage disposal or a waste disposal unit - it is an extremely handy extra to have in your kitchen. However, unless you know how to use it and what to keep out of it, then it can cause damage to pipes and block easily.
Most plumbing repairs and plumbing emergencies can be prevented as long as you know what to look for as you take care of your household plumbing needs. No one likes to wake up and find out that a pipe has burst. Discovering a clogged drain is never fun. The best way to solve these issues is to simply prevent them.

IWC designed our new SMCXL (Side Mount Cantilevered X-Long) Scout Light Mount with AMBI mounting capability, so you can place the tail cap of the light in either the 1:00 or 11:00 position.
SMCXL places the tailcap of the weaponlight .900" farther forward than our SMC Light Mount.
SMCxl (Side Mount Cantilevered X-Long) Scout Light Mount is designed to accept M300 & M600 compatible Scout Weaponlights made by Surefire and other manufacturers.
IWC designed our SMCXL (Side Mount Cantilevered X-Long) Scout Light Mount positions your tailcap on your weapon for activation by your support hand thumb. The SMCXL places the bezel of the light above the barrel and in front of the front sight base to eliminate all shadows, improving your ability to confirm the threat in no-light situations.
Unlike conventional light mounts made by other manufacturers, which are machined to accept only one type of light, the SMC Scout Light's Mounting Arm is machined to accept one of IWC's Light "RINGS" as well as Surefire's M300 & M600 Scout Light.
MODULAR. ADAPTABLE. INNOVATIVE. Simply remove your Scout light and attach the RING to the SMC's mounting arm to convert a handheld flashlight into a weaponlight. With IWC's ADAPTABLE MODULAR LIGHT SYSTEM, there's no need to spend $50 or more on a new light mount when you want to change your light.


West Yorkshire Combined Authority is helping bus passengers' money go further from Monday 18 April, with the introduction of the new DaySaver bus ticket.
DaySaver provides all day bus travel throughout West Yorkshire and costs £6 for one day's travel. If you buy three or five, the price comes down to £5.50 per day, or buy 10 DaySavers and the cost drops to just £5 per day.
Ten DaySavers - £50 (£5 per day).
DaySavers are being introduced on the same day that the price of the MetroDay ticket, which can be bought on the bus, rises from £5.50 to £6.
They can be pre-purchased and used any time within the next 12 months. This makes them useful to part-time workers, students, and other people who use buses, but not necessarily every day.
With DaySavers, people can use different bus operators' services without having to pay for separate products, and can catch any bus on their route rather than having to wait for the 'right' one that matches their ticket.
Pink MCards are not photocards, which means they can be used separately by friends, family members or house-mates.
Find out more about MCard (opens in new window).
DaySavers can be loaded onto pink MCards at nine Bus Station Travel Centres from Monday 18 April, and at all 700 West Yorkshire Payzone stores from Thursday 21 April.
Find your nearest PayZone store (Payzone website - opens in new window).
Anyone encountering difficulties buying a DaySaver ticket or loading it onto their MCard should use the online feedback form to report it so that the MCard team can follow up and rectify the situation.
Passengers with an NFC enabled smartphone can use the MCard App (opens in new window) to check the number of DaySavers they have on their card at any time.
West Yorkshire Combined Authority is committed to developing an improved and integrated transport network that supports economic growth and the creation of jobs across the Leeds City Region and smart travel is a key element of this work.
There are currently around 100,000 MCard holders making it the largest travel smartcard system outside London. Over 1.1 million smartcard transactions take place on West Yorkshire's buses and trains, over 30% of all bus transactions are now 'smart'.
Earlier this month, the Combined Authority introduced smartcard top-ups at 38 West Yorkshire rail stations. Over the summer it plans to start rolling out 'Pay-As-You-Go' and online top-ups for MCards as well as investigating the potential use of contactless bank cards and phone payments.

class _Bijector(object):
  """An interface for transforming random variable(s).

  A bijector is characterized by three operations:

  1) Forward Evaluation
     Useful for turning one random outcome into another random outcome from a
     different distribution.

  2) Inverse Evaluation
     Useful for "reversing" a transformation to compute one probability in terms
     of another.

  3) (log o det o Jacobian o inverse)(x)
     "The log of the determinant of the matrix of all first-order partial
     derivatives of the inverse function."
     Useful for inverting a transformation to compute one probability in terms
     of another.  Geometrically, the det(Jacobian) is the volume of the
     transformation and is used to scale the probability.

  By convention, transformations of random variables are named in terms of the
  forward transformation. The forward transformation creates samples, the
  inverse is useful for computing probabilities.

  Example transformations:
    "Exponential"

      ```
      Y = g(X) = exp(X)
      X ~ Normal(0, 1)  # Univariate.
      ```

      Implies:

      ```
        g^{-1}(Y) = log(Y)
        |Jacobian(g^{-1})(y)| = 1 / y
        Y ~ LogNormal(0, 1), i.e.,
        prob(Y=y) = |Jacobian(g^{-1})(y)| * prob(X=g^{-1}(y))
                  = (1 / y) Normal(log(y); 0, 1)
      ```

    "ShiftAndScale"

      ```
      Y = g(X) = sqrtSigma * X + mu
      X ~ MultivariateNormal(0, I_d)
      ```

      Implies:

      ```
        g^{-1}(Y) = inv(sqrtSigma) * (Y - mu)
        |Jacobian(g^{-1})(y)| = det(inv(sqrtSigma))
        Y ~ MultivariateNormal(mu, sqrtSigma) , i.e.,
        prob(Y=y) = |Jacobian(g^{-1})(y)| * prob(X=g^{-1}(y))
                  = det(sqrtSigma)^(-d) *
                    MultivariateNormal(inv(sqrtSigma) * (y - mu); 0, I_d)
      ```

  Example use:
    Basic properties:

    ```python
    x = ... # A tensor.
    # Evaluate forward transformation.
    fwd_x = my_bijector.forward(x)
    x != my_bijector.forward(fwd_x)  # Not equal because g(x) != g(g(x)).
    x == my_bijector.inverse(fwd_x)
    ```

    Computing a log-likelihood:

    ```python
    def transformed_log_pdf(bijector, log_pdf, x):
      return (bijector.inverse_log_det_jacobian(x) +
              log_pdf(bijector.inverse(x)))
    ```

Q: Gelfand representation of $C_0(X)$ In the book "A course in commutative Banach Algebras," Kaniuth shows that the Gelfand representation of $C_0(X),$ where $X$ is locally compact is the identity map.
The argument is as follows:

The map $$x \to M_x=\{f \in C_0(X):f(x)=0\}$$ sets up a one-to-one correspondence between the points of $X$ and the maximal modular ideals of $C_0(X).$ On the other hand, we have a bijection $$\Delta(C_0(X))\to \operatorname{Max}(C_0(X)), \phi\mapsto \ker \phi$$
  This gives us a bijection $$X \to \Delta(C_0(X)),x\mapsto \phi_x$$ where $\phi_x$ is defined as $\phi_x(f)=f(x).$ This map is then shown to be a homeomorphism.

Everything is clear up to this point. It is then concluded that

After identifying $X$ with $\Delta(C_0(X))$, the Gelfand representation of $C_0(X)$ is the identity mapping.

This last line is unclear to me. I know identifying $X$ with $\Delta(C_0(X))$ makes the Gelfand representation a map from $C_0(X)$ to $C_0(X).$ But how does it make it the identity map?

A: The Gelfand representation is the algebra homomorphism $F: C_0(X) \rightarrow C_0(\Delta C_0(X))$ defined by $$Ff(\phi)=\phi(f)$$ for $\phi \in \Delta C_0(X)=\{\psi: C_0X \rightarrow \mathbb{C}\vert~ \psi  \text{ is a nonzero algebra homomorphism}\}$.
The homeomorphism $h: X \rightarrow \Delta C_0(X), x \mapsto \phi_x$ induces an algebra isomorphism $h^* : C_0(\Delta C_0(X)) \rightarrow C_0(X) $  given by $$h^*(G)(x)=G(\phi_x).$$ You now want to show that the composition
$$
 C_0(X) \xrightarrow{F} C_0(\Delta C_0(X))\xrightarrow{h^*} C_0(X)
$$
equals the identity map. So take $f\in C_0(X)$ and $x\in X$. Then $$h^* F f(x)=Ff(\phi_x)=\phi_x(f)=f(x),$$ i.e. $h^* F f = f.$

using the EncryptedType that I had already set up from this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/44578417/148844
However, if you still want a custom data type serializer, I also found https://www.viget.com/articles/how-i-used-activerecord-serialize-with-a-custom-data-type. Basically you have to return an instance of the exact same class as passed to coder:.

Have you ever seen spots floating around in your vision? Have you ever wondered what those squiggly lines are that swim across your line of sight? Some people describe it as an annoying gnat flying around their face, while others experience a cobweb like phenomena in their vision. Floaters are easily seen when you look at a blank, light background. Many people notice them as tiny grayish objects floating in their primary field of vision.
Floaters come and go with eye movement. When you move your eye quickly up, down or to the side, you may see these floaters move in your light of sight, then disappear into your peripheral vision. This phenomena is caused by a reflection of microscopic fibers in the jelly-like substance (the vitreous humor) contained inside your eye, onto the retina.
Majority of the time, floaters are caused from normal aging changes of the vitreous humor and are of no concern. However, floaters can also be a sign of visually threatening eye conditions such as a retinal tear or retinal detachment. How do you tell the difference between a normal floater, or floaters that could potentially be sight threatening? If your floaters become more apparent, are getting larger or increasing in numbers, are associated with flashes of lights or loss of vision, you could have a Retinal Detachment. However, it is hard to tell. So if you ever experience floaters and have never noticed them before, it is important to get a dilated eye exam right away. In the event that you have a retinal detachment, early detection is key to preserve your vision. If caught early or in time, the retina can be repaired by various methods and re-attached.
For many patients above the age of 50, floaters are caused by a Posterior Vitreous Detachment or PVD. As we age, the vitreous humor will shrink and eventually separate from the retina. When the vitreous has detached from the retina, it moves more freely in the ocular space thus causing more prominent floaters.
Many people develop a condition called eye "floaters" or spots as they age. Floaters can also be caused by injury or strain to the eye. Eye floaters are however, actually a relatively common occurrence for people. While sometimes benign (known as benign eye floaters), they can also be a sign that something more complicated is occurring within the eye. Typically floaters are substances that clump in the eye and appear to float within the eye as we attempt to see. They result from tiny clumps of cells that form inside the fluid surrounding the inside of the eye. Most people see shadows of floaters appearing across their eye rather than actual floaters or clumps of tissue.
"Eye floaters" is simply a generic term used to describe the specks or squiggly shapes people may see in front of their eyes at times. They are common when people look at a light background or plain surface.
Seeing small objects floating in ones line of sight or vision.
Sometimes patients experience symptoms they confuse with eye floaters, like flashing lights. These often accompany other conditions. Flashing lights in ones field of vision often result from expansion or spasms of the blood vessels in the brain, and commonly accompany migraine headaches. Other patients may experience jagged lines often referred to as "heat waves" that come with or without headache.
The good news is usually eye floaters are not a serious condition requiring treatments. If you do notice them however, your eye doctor will likely check your eye more thoroughly to rule out any serious conditions or damage to your eye that may be resulting in eye floaters. If your eye floaters do result from injury to the eye your eye care professional may recommend some treatment. If you notice that the number of floaters or flashing lights you see increases it is important you rule out other more serious conditions that may require surgery.
Who is at Risk For Eye Floaters?
Just about anyone and everyone will develop some eye floaters during their lifetime. As we age we are all more at risk for seeing "floaters" in our line of sight. People who are nearsighted are more at risk for developing floaters because the myopic eye degenerates faster. Some people including those that are near sighted are more at risk for developing eye floaters than others. If you have had cataracts surgery or YAG laser surgery you are also more at risk for seeing floaters, as these procedures may alter the jelly like fluid surrounding the eye. Chronic eye infections or inflammation may also contribute to eye floaters. If you play sports that involve rough contact, you may also be more at risk for injury to your eye, so consider wearing safety glasses to reduce your risk of injury (and developing eye floaters).
Many people notice that floaters get better or disappear on their own with time. For many people floaters are nothing more than nuisance or something they observe when they are not paying attention to much else. Some people even consider eye floaters something fun to play around with. The next time you are bored, try staring at a blank wall or up at the sky. You may start to notice a few eye floaters in your own line of site. You can usually move them around. They are there all the time, but most of the time people simply don't notice eye floaters because they're eyes are too busy focusing on other objects. It's only when we have nothing else to look at that eye floaters usually become apparent.
If you start to develop new floaters however or the spots in your vision become worse or come with vision loss, you may be developing a more serious condition. Various vascular problems including retinal hemorrhages or diabetic retinopathy can result in the sudden appearance of multiple floaters. Other possibilities include retinal detachment. Always consult your doctor or eye care professional if yourvision changes, it you notice new floaters, or your floaters have increased in number. If associated with vision loss or flahes of light.


A divided Maryland Court of Special Appeals says there is insufficient evidence to show that medical malpractice caused the death of Sherri Schaefer, who died of uterine cancer in 2005. She was diagnosed with the disease in 2001.
Schaefer's husband, Charles Marcantonio, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Dr. Melissa Moen, a gynecologist at Women's OB/GYN in Parole, Maryland.
In his lawsuit, Marcantonio claimed that Moen and Anne Arundel Diagnostics Inc.'s Dr. Paula Decandido did not conduct enough tests when his wife was first diagnosed with the disease.
Schaefer first went to the hospital in 2002 because she was experiencing heavy vaginal bleeding. Dr. Moen attributed the bleeding to hormone-replacement therapy. The bleeding continued for seven months. Following a biopsy, the ovarian cancer was discovered.
Marcantonio claims that Moen and Decandido missed a 1.5 cm. ovarian mass on the sonogram. Decandido is the one who interpreted the sonogram. Because of this, Schaefer's diagnosis was delayed. Marcantonio says his wife's chances of survival went down to 50-60 % from 80%.
Maryland's second highest court, however, disagreed, and said that the plaintiff was unable to prove that any of the defendants acted negligently—resulting in Schaefer's death.
Medical malpractice and wrongful death cases can be challenging to prove. This is why it is so important that you hire a Maryland or Washington D.C. personal injury attorney to take on your case.
Losing someone you love is hard enough without having the cause of death be the carelessness or negligence of a physician. A wrongful death lawyer can file a lawsuit on your behalf to hold the negligent party or parties financially responsible.

Nine year-old Cody Michael Donnelly had an extravagant plan for the proposed new playground at the Spring Branch Family Development Center.
A 100-inch flat screen television, a money machine, a fridge, a climbing wall, a PlayStation 3, swimming pool … all were in the playground design he drew.
Cody certainly won't get everything in his picture, but he and the other children who belong to the Boys & Girls Club of Houston had a say in what they wanted in the play space at the "Design Day" event held Dec. 12 at the center, 8575 Pitner Road.
