Ambassadors & Judges
The Ultimate Culinary Challenge
Tuesday, 1st October, 2019
The National Chef of the Year and Young National Chef of the Year 2020
winners revealed
An impressive list of chefs has been whittled down from over 100 to just one as Steve Groves, head chef at Roux at Parliament Square was selected by the UK's toughest culinary experts to take the title of The National Chef of the Year 2020. However, it was a closely fought battle with ten talented chefs aiming to take the top spot in a live two-hour cook-off at The Restaurant Show.
Taking the runner-up spot was Derek Johnstone, head chef from Borthwick Castle with Nick Smith, head chef at Vacherin placing in third.
Chefs had to create three courses in two hours and Steve served up a menu of red mullet, shellfish mousse and bouillabaisse sauce, followed by a main course of suckling pig, Jerusalem artichokes, quince, hazelnut and trompettes with Calvados Baba, honey poached pears and creme fraiche Chantilly for dessert. This year's judges were led by Gary Jones, executive head chef at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons who had a team of 19 chefs helping him find the winner. The list included Sat Bains, Clare Smyth, David Mulcahy, Claude Bosi, Jonny Lake, Philip Howard, Ollie Dabbous, James Petrie and former winners Alyn Williams and Simon Hulstone.
Sustainability and seasonality were the key focus points of this year's brief which was put together by Gary Jones and competition organiser, David Mulcahy. Finalists were tasked with creating a bouillabaisse style flavoured starter using under-utilised fish. For the main course, chefs had to use cuts of suckling pig with the opportunity to pre-cook one element of the pig prior to the competition, ensuring it did not amount to more than 20% of the final dish. Finally, the chefs were asked to create an elegant dessert honouring seasonal pears, which showcased technical skill, balance and maximum flavour impact.
Straight after scoring the dishes, Gary Jones said: "We've seen some amazing cooking today. What stood out for me about Steve was his good, strong, clean flavours. He didn't over complicate his menu and approached the brief well resulting in beautiful flavours. When it came to the main course, he served-up the best crackling in the room and I was salivating just looking at it."
Knowing he now holds the title of The National Chef of the Year, Steve Groves said: "I am delighted, relieved and surprised. It was hard work and those two hours went by in the blink of an eye but I focused on the flavours of the dish. I am incredibly pleased to win this title and I can't wait to celebrate with my team, who I couldn't have done this without."
Vice-President of the Craft Guild of Chefs, David Mulcahy who has organises the competition added: "What an amazing final we've seen today! Firstly, congratulations to Steve Groves who has done an incredible job and now becomes a true ambassador for our industry. When you take this title, it's about more than what you have cooked today as the chefs who have won previously are still some of the most talked about figures in hospitality. Each year, we make sure that the competition is truly relevant to today's diners and is addressing industry trends whilst putting all our finalists firmly on the map. It's known as the hardest culinary competition in the UK which is why this title is so sought-after and the one competition every chef wants to win."
It's not just the senior chefs who are in the spotlight today as a new Young National Chef of the Year has also been crowned. William Keeble who is demi chef de partie at Whatley Manor won the competition. In second place was Jordon Powell, chef de partie at South Lodge Hotel and George Harding, senior chef de partie, The Atlantic Hotel took the final place on the podium.
The ten finalists were tasked with creating two different vegetarian or vegan canapes for the starter and a Norwegian cod main course appropriately garnished and served with an emulsified hot, warm or cold sauce. Finally, they served up a plated dessert using a classic Victoria Sponge as a base.
Hrisikesh Desai took on the role of Chair of Judges for the YNCOTY competition earlier this year and alongside his team of ten judges, has truly found one to watch in William Keeble. Commenting on the level of cooking he's seen today he said: "It wasn't easy to decide the winner and it was extremely close, coming down to tiny details but I think we've got a fantastic winner. William balanced the flavour well and showed artistry in his work. He showcased a lot of skill elements that can be easy to mess up under pressure and on top of that his organisation was incredible. He was cool, calm and showed that he has practised and wanted to push himself to the absolute limit."
Both of the winners have access to some amazing prizes following today's success. Steve not only takes home the title but also wins:

Video shows customer attack New York deli worker over 5-minute wait for bagel
Posted 8:28 PM, December 6, 2018, by Tribune Media Wire
NEW YORK — Authorities are looking for the man accused of attacking an employee at a New York City deli after an apparent meltdown over a bagel sandwich.
Video shows the enraged customer pounding a display window with his fist as he yells, "A cinnamon toasted raisin bagel with bacon, egg and cheese, right now!"
It happened on Nov. 25 at about 4:30 a.m. inside the deli at 1055 Flushing Ave. in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Police said a man entered the deli and became involved in a dispute with the employee. Deli workers said that the man put in his order but didn't want to wait five minutes for them to help the others in line before him.

The argument escalated into a physical altercation, and the man threw merchandise at the employee, striking him at the head and torso, said police.
"That's just crazy," the victim's co-worker, who identified himself only as Miguel, told WPIX. "I think this guy was just drunk or something.
The alleged attacker fled the scene.
The store employee was taken to the hospital where he was treated for bruising and swelling, said police.

Earth's San Andreas Fault
Credit: SRTM, JPL, NASA
Explanation: The Earth's surface is broken. Cracks in the Earth's crust known as faults can run for hundreds of kilometers. These faults are frequently the sites of major earthquakes as the tectonic plates that cover the surface of the Earth shift. Pictured above is San Andreas Fault in California, one of the longest and most active faults. Visible as the linear feature to the right of the mountains, San Andreas Fault reaches 15 kilometers deep and is about 20 million years old. The above exaggerated-height image was created by combining radar deployed by the Space Shuttle Endeavour in February with a true-color Landsat picture. Along San Andreas Fault, the titanic Pacific Plate is shifting relative to the huge North American Plate by an average of a few centimeters per year. At that rate, in a few million years, the Earth's surface will look quite different than it does today.

Movie Review: MURDER MADE EASY (2017)
Dinner parties with friends are supposed to be a good time full of laughs, memories, delicious food and endless drinks; however, sometimes they end up deadly. How does that saying go? Oh yeah, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."
MURDER MADE EASY is directed by David Palamaro with a screenplay written by Tim Davis. The cast includes Christopher Soren Kelly, Daniel Ahearn, Sheila Cutchlow, Jessica Graham, Edmund Lupinski, Paul A Rose Jr., and Emilia Richeson.
The film focuses on a dinner party hosted by Joan and Michael. They invite their friends over for a cordial dinner to discuss the passing of Joan's husband, Neil; however as each guest arrives, dark secrets are revealed, resulting in a main course that turns out to be more than they could have ever expected.
Sam Kolesnik, co-director of the Women in Horror Film Festival stated that MURDER MADE EASY is "the horror version of Clue" and I couldn't agree more. I've seen so many wonderful films this year and this one has easily become a favorite. It was unique, packed full of twisted characters, with a suspenseful story that had a wickedly awesome twist.
I love how the film was designed and how each scene built suspense and made you wonder what would happen next and how the characters would die. I liked how each dinner guest was separated by meal courses with four courses resulting in four deaths. Or so that's the plan.
Jessica Graham kills it as Joan. She's vindictive and ruthless. I love the way she carries herself. It's as if she doesn't give one single fuck and I can appreciate that. My other favorite character was Marcus played by Edmund Lupinski. There was just something special about him. He made me laugh and did a great job of standing out from the rest of the characters.
MURDER MADE EASY has twists and turns lurking around each corner. I can't give too much away, but it's brilliant and definitely has things you won't see coming. The whole story is fun and inventive, but the ending is the best part.
MURDER MADE EASY had its World Premiere at the 2017 Women in Horror Film Festival and won the Indie Spirit Award and it's easy to see why. David Palamaro is a brilliant director and I love his style. To me, it's better than most of the mainstream movies that came out this year and I hope it continues to get the recognition it deserves.

Violin Dreams
Authors: Arnold Steinhardt
Arnold Steinhardt, for over forty years an international soloist and the first violinist of the Guarneri String Quartet, brings warmth, wit, and fascinating insider details to the story of his lifelong obsession with the violin, that most seductive and stunningly beautiful instrument. His story is rich with vivid scenes: the terror inflicted by his early violin teachers, the frankly sensual pleasure involved in the pursuit of the perfect violin, the zanily charged atmosphere of high-level competitions. Steinhardt describes Bach'39;s Chaconne as the holy grail for the solo violin, and he illuminates, from the perspective of an ardent owner of a great Storioni violin, the history and…
mysteries of the renowned Italian violinmakers. The paperback includes a CD recording of Steinhardt performing Bach'39;s Partita in D Minor forty years ago and playing the same piece especially for this book. A conversation between the author and Alan Alda on the differences between the two performances is included in liner notes.
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company
Arnold Steinhardt is the author of Indivisible by Four: A String Quartet in Pursuit of Harmony. He is the first violinist of the acclaimed Guarneri String Quartet and performs as a soloist all over the world.


In addition to developing our own internally generated ideas into medical products, Sharp Medical Products, LLC does entertain developing ideas for devices from medical providers. Sharp Medical Products, LLC understands that for the vast majority of medical professionals developing a medical product from idea to commercial production is near herculean in nature and extremely costly. However, we may be able to help!
If you are a medical professional with an idea for a medical product that you would like to discuss with us please contact us at ideas@sharpmedicalproducts.com. Please do not provide us with any information on your idea; to protect you and Sharp Medical Products, LLC a Non-Disclosure Agreement must be signed prior to any discussion. Please ONLY submit your name, background (for example, trauma surgeon), e-mail and phone number and a member of our team will contact you.
Sharp Medical Products, LLC (SMP) has a main goal of designing, developing and producing high quality practical medical devices for usage throughout the world. Once developed, Sharp is positioned to either (1) manufacturer and commercialize the product or to (2) license the technology to another medical device entity. SMP's portfolio of products in various stages, from commercialization/sales to development, are listed here.
How can my idea be protected?
Sharp Medical Products, LLC and yourself would sign a non-disclosure agreement prior to discussing the idea in detail.
If I discuss my idea in public is it protected if I don't have a patent?
We are not patent attorneys, but from what we know any disclosure of an idea in public runs the risk of someone else patenting the idea. Possibly the most famous case of this issue was with Dr Frederic Foley who first described a selfretaining balloon bladder drainage catheter in 1929, then demonstrated this to the American Urologists Society in 1935 and published a paper on it in 1937. Foley applied for a patent in October 1936 but a patent for the same idea was issued to Paul Raiche of the Davol Rubber Company. Despite a court battle the patent stayed with Raiche. Sharp Medical Products, LLC works with medical patent attorneys early in the process to help minimize others patenting the same idea.
Is it easy to get an idea made into a commercial product in the medical device arena?
It is very difficult, costly and there is no guarantee an idea can make it to market; especially on your own. No one is an expert in this murky world of idea to commercialization but Sharp Medical Products, LLC has proven it can bring disruptive game changing ideas to the commercial market.
How would I be paid from Sharp Medical Products, LLC if you like my idea?
Each project is different, but it could be a royalty stream, flat buy out or some other equitable method.
I don't know anything about patents, prototypes or manufacturing; do I have to participate if Sharp Medical Products, LLC acquires the rights to my idea?
The role of Sharp Medical Products, LLC is to take great ideas from the "idea" stage and commercialize it. We may call on you for advice from time to time or to check on the product before it is ready for market, but we do not expect you to play a role in development normally.
I am not an engineer, how can I come up with an idea?
We get this question all the time. We suggest just thinking of medical devices/procedures that you see frequently and first try to think of what may be wrong with them. The next step you may or may not know and is optional and that may be a general way to fix it. For example, a physician on our team wondered why regular oxygen face masks are so inefficient and can only deliver ~40-60% oxygen. Step 1 was to identify that there was a problem (which is an opportunity). Step 2 was that he had a general idea on how to possibly solve it but didn't know it to any great detail. Once we worked with our professional engineers we came up with 9 critical enhancements that increased the level of oxygen delivered to the patient.
What ideas of products is Sharp Medical Products, LLC interested in?
If you are unclear whether your idea meets these 4 standards, we can help you figure this out especially the last standard regarding the "sell" ability of the product in today's health care environment. As an example, we identified that the open technique for medium/large bore chest tube insertion was painful and difficult and had not changed virtually since the 1860s. The ReactorTM was developed and met the 4 standards above – it is disruptive as it is minimally invasive compared to the open, it is disposable, it can be sold in high volume and is a product that medical providers want for their institutions.

Q: whose + [singular noun or plural noun?]
There are maybe five authors whose name will sell me a hardback and about fifty whose name will attract my attention to a paperback.

Should 'name' be 'names'? as authors are plural. But I've also learnt that for possessing things, either singular or plural nouns can be used. Here, in this case, every author only has one name, so maybe using 'name' is also correct?

A: The author names mentioned are regarded individually relating to their books. Let's say those five authors (A to E) have each released one book, so five total (Ax to Ex). The person picks up book Bx, and reads the name of author B on the cover, and is then prompted to buy it. For book Cx, it would be a different author, namely C.
Please let me know if this helps, or if you need clarification.
EDIT:
Racked my brain a little following the comment. I'd refer you to the distributive singular as discussed by Quirk et al. in A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language (10.47 Distributive number):

While the distributive plural is the norm, the distributive singular may also be used to focus on individual instances. We therefore often have a number choice:

*

*The students raised their hand(s).

*Some children have understanding fathers / an understanding father.

*We all have good appetites / a good appetite.

*Pronouns agree with their antecedent(s).

*Their noses need / nose needs to be wiped.

*The exercise was not good for their back(s).

For some freely accessible context, see this MLA article on distributive plural vs. singular.

The magnificent Glenda Jackson » « Preach, brother! But maybe at another time and elsewhere
A solution that illustrates the problem
In a recent post, I said that unlike in the case of most groups that share a generalized grievance, in the case of the so-called incels ('involuntary celibates'), I just could not see what an external solution to their complaint might look like. Via PZ Myers though, I came across this post where the problem is particularized and a solution is suggested.
The problem (as seen by the author of the solution) is that sophisticated makeup techniques that currently exist enable women to look much more attractive than their intrinsic looks warrant (they can lift themselves up from a 3/10 to a 7/10) and hence they have an inflated view of themselves that results in them looking down at men and rejecting them even though those men are really their peers in looks. The solution starts from the premise that makeup should be banned and goes on from there.
The solution is very specific and concrete and also requires governmental action. It is also completely nuts. My guess is that it is from a parody site but while not serious, it does have the benefit of showing how there is no solution to the problem that the incels face that does not start from within themselves, from self-reflection about what they might do and how they might change to resolve their situation.
Meanwhile, Josh Marshall wades into this area and finds a libertarian economics professor at George Mason University who actually endorses a variant of this idea that 'sex inequality' (i.e., the differential access to sex that people have) should be ameliorated.
Hanson is talking about the fact that some people have more access to sex with people they find attractive than others. Hanson then sets out to explore policies that might ameliorate this "sex inequality" because to him there's nothing fundamentally different between differences in wealth and different levels of access to sex with people you find hot. The idea that inequality of access to inanimate objects might be fundamentally different than access to other people's bodies is one he is either unable to or perhaps unwilling to grasp.
So what are the policy solutions? He is at pains to make clear that "Rape and slavery are far from the only [policy options]!" Thanks! But the gist of his suggestions are actually quite similar to, if more antiseptic and sophisticated, the proposals one finds on the nutso incel message boards.
One is making major cash transfers to men who aren't getting enough sex on the theory that the wealthier a man is the more attractive he becomes and thus more likely to get sex. More telling are policies for "promoting monogamy" and "discouraging promiscuity." The idea here is that if people have fewer sexual partners and are locked down into monogamous relationships, the population of unsexed women will go up and thus create what amounts to a captive audience for sexual overtures from members of the incel community. This really is a dumpster fire of law-and-economics nonsense in a high-speed collision with the human condition. What I marvel at is that this isn't some crank with an anonymous account on Twitter. It's a tenured professor of economics.
Maybe Hanson is also trying his hand at satire. Who knows these days?
This situation illustrates the importance that people give to physical attractiveness. This is not anything new and has probably existed from time immemorial. But this whole business of quantifying it on a scale of one to ten and then obsessing over that one factor to the exclusion of almost everything else might be relatively recent because of the ubiquitous ranking that is now available. For most people in relationships, I suspect that the value placed on looks is highest at the beginning (because it is the most visible trait) and tends to decrease over time, as other factors like compatibility, considerateness, kindness, sense of humor, and generosity come to the fore and are seen as being more important to one's happiness. So incels might want to think about how much of those qualities they possess and what kinds of situations bring them to the forefront. Going into any new encounter with a chip on your shoulder and an air of grievance and entitlement is a surefire way to ensure that people will not want to get to know you beyond the superficialities.
Marcus Ranum says
Make-up? Haven't they ever contemplated David Bowie, and the rather obvious fact that Bowie a) wore lots of make up b) made a lot of money (in part because of the make up) c) was married to Iman d) probably had plenty of sex with all the people.
They can't seem to explain what "attractiveness" is -- which makes sense, since it's a multifaceted and vague thing. Basically defined as "whatever is not me."
Men have worn make-up for a long time. Not just Bowie: Casanova. Incels, meet Giacomo Casanova, I rest my case.

I have vague memories of reading a paper (or, more likely, a summary of a paper) which looked at the way people's perception of attractiveness is modified by the media… As I recall, the conclusion was that when the majority of people mostly encounter other people (and images of other people) in a normal distribution of attractiveness, everybody has fairly reasonable expectations and most people manage to find a partner that meets those expectations. However, when you expose everybody to images of extremely attractive people a lot, their perceptions of what constitutes "normal" gets skewed, and suddenly you've got large numbers of people holding out for partners in the top decile of attractiveness.
Writing that out, it all sounds like a remarkably difficult thing to study, and obviously subject to all of the usual caveats that should be applied to almost all research on human behaviour… But I don't think the basic idea is unreasonable: constantly bombarding people with images of insanely hot (but unattainable) people of their desired gender is going to cause at least some people problems with developing normal romantic and / or sexual relationships.

Caine says
Attractiveness has nothing to do with looks. Looks don't hurt, of course, but what makes a person attractive are inner traits, such as a sense of humour, kindness, intelligence, and so on.
Cosmetics have been around forever, and throughout history, men were no strangers to wearing them. In our current time, men have gone away from wearing cosmetics as a part of daily wear, but it's come back a little bit. The incels should perhaps go shopping, and see what they can do with cosmetics. That said, all the cosmetics in the world won't make a shitty personality better or magically attractive.
cartomancer says
I have to say, there are plenty of people for whom physical attractiveness is the only relevant criterion where wanting to have sex is concerned. I would probably count myself among their number. Yes, you hear about people for whom it's about more than just looks, but I've never really found any other relevant factors in my own life. I suspect I'm a product of the culture I grew up in in that regard.
I mean, I can see that other factors are relevant as far as love and romance and relationships and friendship are concerned, just not when it comes to sex. In fact, I tend to think about sex and relationships as entirely separate phenomena -- the one purely hormonal and physical, the other social and mental and emotional. But, then again, to me sex is something to do in secret and not to talk about or think about if at all possible, whereas relationships are something done in the open, to be pondered and considered and obsessed upon. The former is a bit sordid and sinister, the cause of much anxiety, and to be studiously excluded from my self-image, the latter embraced as a part of it. My beloved, for instance, is my best friend. But I have never found him sexually attractive, however deeply I have wanted to be in a proper relationship with him for the last seventeen years.
Ultimately I think this is about how people construct their identities and how they can be discouraged from constructing them in ways that do not work for them or cause them great harm. I think this is something people need to be made explicitly aware of as they are growing up -- not just feeding them messages in an attempt to mould them how we would wish but making them aware that their values and identities are theirs to form and intellectual work needs to be done to achieve that.
I said at chez Pharyngula that this little rant reminds me of what Xenophon had to say in his Oikonomikos about make-up as a futile deception. But, thinking on it, the difference between Xenophon's world and our own is instructive. Xenophon's advice on training a wife was aimed at a society where marriage was overwhelmingly a transactional affair, undertaken to strengthen family ties and create new citizens, and almost never done for love or because the two parties were attracted to one another. Finding a wife was not an issue if your family knew other people, and if they didn't then you weren't going to expect a wife and the participation in society that brings. Furthermore, sexual desires were easily taken care of with prostitutes and slaves -- a whole class of people existed whose bodily autonomy was compromised. Immoderate sexual lust was also seen as suspect, feminine, barbarous and compromising -- the ideal for rational male Athenian citizens was continence and self-control.
So in Xenophon's world it took no great step of self-knowledge to arrive at a place where you weren't caught up in this kind of weird "incel" culture. For many today it does take a great step to avoid that kind of cultural conditioning.
Tabby Lavalamp says
My guess is that it is from a parody site but while not serious…
I read We Hunted The Mammoth all the time and suspect you're guessing wrong here, Mano. "Make-up is a lie" is something that comes up at times from the misogynists of all types, and the concept of rape-slavery isn't something new from incels.
Raucous Indignation says
Everybody has sex with everybody all the freakin' time!! How freakin' odious must one be to be literally unfuckable!?
No, they don't. You may do, and most, or even all of the people you know may do, but there are plenty of people who go for long periods of time without having sex with anybody, for a variety of reasons. I went without sex for over twenty years due to an unfortunate combination of self-confidence and mental health issues, despite the fact that I am assured that I'm both quite attractive and fairly charming (although I'm pretty sure I was a lot less of either whilst I was in the grip of severe clinical depression and social anxiety).
However, most people don't turn it into an ideology the way these people have.
Paul Jarc says
Josh Marshall is misreading Robin Hanson. Hanson mentions policy options that could influence the distribution of sex, but he isn't endorsing them. He's a libertarian, and if he's trying to persuade people of anything, it would be to be as leery about monetary redistribution as they already are about sex redistribution. He's mainly interested here in exploring how people have such different reactions to different kinds of inequality--not just sex vs. money, but levels of wealth between households within a country as opposed to between countries, between time periods, etc. It's not too long a read to go straight to the source.

Caine @4
Unfortunately, this is bullshit. Hollywood bullshit, actually. It can work this way over time, maybe, but you got to have good ENOUGH looks for anyone to be interested enough to talk to you to find out the rest of that stuff. If you don't look good enough, you will be rebuffed instantly if you approach someone, and will not be approached.
Crip Dyke, Right Reverend Feminist FuckToy of Death & Her Handmaiden says
yes and no. I think it's true that if you approach some unknown person as a potential dating partner, most times that person will make a snap judgement based on physical attractiveness (looks, body language, scent, sound of voice, more???) to determine whether they want to spend enough time on a conversation to learn those other things that can be a non-appearance, non-physical basis for an ongoing attraction.
However, if you are approaching someone for other reasons -- making new friends in a new neighborhood or at a new job, whatever -- physical attractiveness will have very little to do with whether or not most people are willing to have a conversation and see where it goes. After the first conversation, there's a possibility of having more conversations, and the willingness to have those will be even less dependent on physical attractiveness than the first conversation. Later attraction may develop (or an original, instant attraction may be later confessed) and at those later points where attraction comes up as a topic with someone you now know, many, many things come into play. Since the person knows so much more about you, physical attraction plays much less of a role in how someone might respond.
I don't think that physical appearance has nothing to do with "attractiveness" writ large, at least not for most people. I do think that what constitutes attractiveness is so idiosyncratic that it makes little sense to talk about someone being "unattractive" except in the most personal, "I don't happen to dig you" sense.

I've long suspected exactly this as a contributor to many cases of domestic abuse, especially for those who spend most of their non-work lives watching tv shows.

Pff, I WISH that were true. Even "some of the freakin' time" would be an improvement for me.
"How freakin' odious must one be to be literally unfuckable!?"
The bar is far lower than you would expect. Or rather, a person can have problems other than odiousness getting in the way.

I practice voluntary celibacy for financial reasons. Seeing people from my past having more and more kids while driving themselves further into poverty is hilarious.
People in Africa have 20 kids then wonder why they have no food, lol. Not my problem. If they come for my food and make it my problem I will kill them without second thought.
Sophy says
I'm reminded of the Northern Pikes tune, "She ain't pretty, she just looks that way."
But the desire for external fixes is because part of it is external status related. The attractveness ratings are a means to quantify visible worth. Like Mr Collins showing how wonderful Lady Catherine deBourrgh is by enumerating the windows on her estate and just as silly.
flex says
There is an old vaudeville song about a man who picks up a woman in a bar for her attractiveness, and while they are undressing in a motel room the song goes through the litany about how she removes her wig, her false eye, her false bosom, her wooden leg, etc.
Then, on the opposite side, is the Edgar Allen Poe story, "The Man that was used up". Where a journalist interviews a famous military hero, and as the interview continues, the hero removes wooden legs, wooden arms, wooden head, and even a wooden torso, leaving only a small lump of flesh which is all that remains of the handsome and glorious hero presented for public view.
It is very true that for the primates that we are, appearances count. However, I challenge the idea that there is a single linear scale in which attractiveness can be rated. A person can be physically beautiful, but not attractive. Conversely, a person can be attractive without being physically beautiful. What seems to count the most, looking back over fifty years, is confidence in oneself. A person who is confident in themselves, even if it took artificial means to create that confidence, for instance, using make-up to more closely conform to the cultural ideal of their time, tends to attract other people.
I think this trait is probably buried deep into the wiring of the primate brain. If someone appears to know what they are doing and can confidently express themselves, other people will follow them. I think this explains the phenomenon that others have noted that woman prefer "bad" boys and not "nice" boys. I don't think this is entirely true, but people in general, which includes woman, prefer confident people, and "bad" boys are generally project more self-confidence than "nice" boys.
I think this trait also is at the heart of authoritarianism. As I wrote above, I think this trait is hard-wired into our monkey brains, and while sufficient education can mitigate the impact, it is a powerful influence on our behavior. It is not always expressed in a sexual manner, but is the reason why cults of personality form.
To go back to the OP and the incels. It is interesting to me that the incels exist. Certainly, historically there were men who were upset that they were unable to execute their fantasies on attractive women. But they were scattered, and when they did meet the result was a pity-party ("nudge-nudge, say no more"). The Monty Python character in the "Nudge-Nudge" sketch really hit the nail on the head (IIRC he was played by Eric Idol, but I've passed a lot of water since then so I could be wrong).
These people are not attractive to others largely because it's clear that they lack the confidence to solve their own problems, let alone helping a companion. The incels appear to be men who desire an outside agency to solve a problem which only they feel exists. Should they gain the confidence to internalize their agency, which means understanding and making an attempt at conforming to the current cultural expectation of beauty, their problems will largely cease. Internalizing their agency will give them the confidence they need and attempting to conform to the current expectations of beauty will result in making the connections they desire.
But, because they have created a culture which rejects the idea that change is possible by their own actions, and blaming their perceived plight on an outside agency (i.e. attractive women), the end result is radicalization and violence. Rather than scattered individual men feeling cheated out of relationships, because there is now the ability for these men to find each other and ratchet up their resentment by feeding off each others complaints, the result is greater resentment which will escalate into violence.
Such is one of the blessings, and curses, of the interconnection possible due to the internet.
sonofrojblake says
sophisticated makeup techniques that currently exist enable women to look much more attractive than their intrinsic looks warrant (they can lift themselves up from a 3/10 to a 7/10)
This conveniently ignores two things:
1. makeup is not a secret. They have a pretty low opinion of the rest of us if they think we can't see past it when they apparently can.
2. sophisticated techniques currently exist that enable MEN to look much more attractive than their looks warrant. Tell me Donald Trump is as physically attractive as his wife, and I'll guide you by the hand to the nearest optometrist.
if people have fewer sexual partners and are locked down into monogamous relationships, the population of unsexed women will go up and thus create what amounts to a captive audience for sexual overtures from members of the incel community
Merely demonstrates how little they know about women. Even the phrase "unsexed women" is hilarious.
Fundamentally you've got a lot of men whose standard of physical attractiveness for sexual partners is skewed too high, complaining that women's standards of physical attractiveness for sexual partners is skewed too high. The lack of self-awareness is tragic. As I said elsewhere -- they're doing nothing productive to increase the chances of gaining the company of women, and spending all their time around men. Probably the best thing they could do is admit that what they really like is the company of men. From what I hear gay guys have NO trouble getting as much as they like.
Yay. We have a racist troll @15.

I think it's true that if you approach some unknown person as a potential dating partner, most times that person will make a snap judgement based on physical attractiveness
That's literally what we're talking about here. Everything else is a change of subject, interactions where 'attractiveness' is not being judged because it is irrelevant.


This month's reporting reminds me of something that's easy to brush off: being a business owner is HARD. Especially as a solopreneur, when you're doing marketing, branding, selling and then managing to get all the work done—everything is on your shoulders. Even as a marketer, I can't do my best work because I just don't have the time of a full-time marketing employee that's needed to make that impact that I'd like to.
If you're feeling the same after looking at your numbers, know that you're not alone. I talk to so many business owners who are frustrated with the results of their marketing efforts. It takes time, it takes a plan and most of all, it requires patience.
Need some help getting your ducks in a row? Let's talk. Ready to dive into the data with me? Keep reading!
I was definitely bummed to see both sessions and page views down, since I've been doing more promotion for blog posts. However, being in growth mode with only myself to facilitate everything, I know there will be dips and that's okay in my book. It has to be, or you'll drive yourself crazy. As a reminder, you can see last month's data in August's Monthly Report. Now, let's see what worked and what didn't.
The one exception here is my social media coaching page, which I have been trying to share regularly. I started posting less in September on Twitter and LinkedIn has also fallen to the wayside, so, I know I haven't done as well as I could. I know I should ultimately be promoting this page more than that, and you should be doing the same with your priority pages.
Plan to promote the most important pages on your website at least once each week on every platform. That means, for me, I should really be promoting my social media coaching page three times each week: Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn.
#2: Stories are fun! And driving some traction.
I made a point of digging into stories via Instagram this month. I personally love watching other people's stories (I LOVE Olivia Ward – always inspirational and funny; super authentic!). Not only is it important to test all the new features made available to us, but Stories is something we can't ignore. More than 400 million people use Instagram stories each day and many experts have suggested that we'll see a transition from the standard feed to one that's more video-focused (like Stories) in the near future.
Engaging by tagging other people in my story because that person often re-posts it when they get the notification. That's why it's crucial to be relevant and engage authentically. With one particular repost via Stories, I woke up to 35 new followers!
Pointing followers to my new post a few days each week. I just use one of the cute "new post" stickers to cover that particular square and then write something enticing to get them to click to my profile.
Sharing ME. Right now, it's not authentic for me to post photos of myself with seemingly unrelated captions on my Instagram feed. I'm finding that I love using Stories for this instead. Someone recently complimented me on my stories saying that they do in fact feel very authentic, which is my goal. What do I share? The work I'm doing, insights into my day and personal life, tips about social media marketing or content marketing, networking events, etc.
Not sure how to find new features or fun things to post with your Instagram stories? Watch other people's stories! I'm always discovering new tricks and ideas from other boss babes in my network. Also, check out this awesome guide from Hootsuite with really simple, yet helpful tips.
#3: My free Instagram guide is getting traction.
I'm currently offering a free Instagram guide and I created a pop-up and email flow for it at the end of last month. I'm using both Hello Bar and Convert Kit to facilitate this process and with the set-up I have right now, that freebie has attracted 13 new subscribers, via LinkTree and a website pop-up.
Unfortunately, I'm still working out the kinks on the email flow and software, so I haven't been pushing it as much as I could be. As I nail down the automation flow, find the best tool to facilitate, and get some other freebies flowing, I'm hoping to see a major uptick here.
#4: My Instagram following is continuing to engage and grow.
I really enjoy managing my business Instagram account (@JessicaThiefels), so I've been putting a lot of time into it. I'm stoked to see that pay off as I look at the data, from total likes and comments to my engagement rate. This feels especially rewarding because I'm doing things differently. I'm not posting pretty photos of myself or clients—which isn't authentic to me or my business; this definitely makes it harder to grow.
P.S. Learn more about how I use Instagram and why in my blog post, Owner to Owner: How to Bring More Authenticity to Your Instagram Strategy.
#1: More blog publishing = more traffic.
This one falls into the "isn't working yet" category. The sample size is too small, but I was hoping to see an uptick in traffic as I started publishing more regularly on the blog. I've been doing that now for the last two months. I published five blog posts in September, the most I've done to date, yet there was a 10 percent drop in PVs MOM.
This is always a good time to remind myself of what I tell my clients: it takes at least 3 to 6 months to really see traction with publishing at such a slow rate (and with a small audience).
#2: Driving traffic to my site from social.
I'm interested to do reporting next month, after bringing on a new intern this week, the second week of October. My main goal is to post a lot more and engage a lot more. These things are crucial to seeing improvements in this space. Stay tuned for more updates!
Intern onboarded ASAP to start promoting and engaging more regularly.
Nail down new services/freebies and get those ready before November.
Better flow for freebie downloads. Thinking of investing in a different paid tool as I build this out. – Still from August.
Changing the wording on some of the landing pages and in my promotion of lead-driving pages.- Still from August.
What is your data telling you? I'd love to help you make sense of it all and get you on track for success moving forward.
Master your social media (including reporting!) in 5 hours or LESS!

Why Are Covid-19 Cases Increasing? Here Are 7 Reasons
Records are made to be broken. But this has become a broken record.
Seemingly every day there is a new record number of reported Covid-19 coronavirus cases in the U.S. And Friday, which also happened to be National Absurdity Day, was no different. According to the New York Times, November 20 had over 194,000 new reported cases and over 82,000 people hospitalized due to Covid-19. Both incidentally were records.
All of this has been about as surprising as the movie Mars Needs Moms being a box-office flop. After all, when you see something coming yet don't do a whole lot to change what's coming, what's coming will come. Back on October 10, I listed for Forbes eight reasons why the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic could get worse in the U.S. in the late Fall and Winter. Let's check back at these and see how we are doing with each:
1. Lower humidity and lower temperatures.
Assuming that you don't have a gigantic space heater and humidifier, there's not much you can do about the change in seasons. As I mentioned before, transmission of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) seems to increase with lower humidity and lower temperatures. That may be because lower relative humidity and less water vapor in the air may lead to smaller and lighter respiratory droplets that have higher concentrations of virus and can hang in the air longer. The virus may be able to survive longer in lower temperatures as well.
Additionally, you may not quite be the same when the temperature and humidity drop. Your body's defense systems may get weaker. For example, those tiny hairs, the mucus, and the cells that line your respiratory tract and are supposed to remove junk from your respiratory tract may not work as effectively.
2. Businesses re-opening and 3. Schools re-opening.
Given that Covid-19 coronavirus transmission was expected to pick up in the late Fall and Winter, organizations needed to be more proactive about ratcheting up prevention and control measures from what was being done in the warmer months. The theme in the early Fall should have been "I Know What You Did Last Summer, But This Isn't The Bleeping Summer Anymore."
This isn't to say that lockdowns were the answer. Instead, Swiss cheese should have been in place everywhere. That may sound delicious. However, in this case, the Swiss cheese is metaphorical. It's something that Ian M. Mackay, PhD, a scientist and an adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Queensland illustrated in the following tweet:
MORE FOR YOU : pgslot
As you can see, all organizations such as businesses and schools needed to have multiple layers of protection in place because any single intervention alone like the plot of the movie The Dark Knight Rises would have lots of holes. Think about it. Would you try to cover yourself up in freezing weather wearing only fishnet stockings or a shirt made out of fishnet material? No, instead the solution is to layer clothes on top of each other to give yourself enough protection. Similarly, businesses and schools need to have much more than just physical distancing or hand washing in place, not just within their confines but in the surrounding community as well. However, this has not been happening across the country. Re-opening with too many holes can can leave you with a whole lot of trouble, which in turn can make you say hole-y bleep.
4. Shifting from outdoor to indoor gatherings.
Doing the Swiss cheese thing is especially important as the activities move from outdoors to the indoors with the changing weather. The outdoors can automatically provide at least two layers of cheese: ventilation and the opportunity for more physical distancing. When these aren't automatically present anymore, you've got to add more cheese please.
5. The flu and other respiratory illnesses.
OK, the flu and other respiratory viruses may not have arrived in full force yet. But stay tuned. And get your flu shot.
6. People getting lax on precautions.
Yes, behavior change is tough. Getting people to do even simple things differently for just a minute can be difficult, let alone for months. Plus, the virus is microscopic that can't be readily seen every day. Things might be different if the virus were ten feet tall and holding a scimitar in one hand (or one spike) while singing the song "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt. This would be a lot more threatening and keep people more on the alert. But this virus is more subtle and as a result more devious. It can kill and cause suffering but allows enough people to escape with mild or no symptoms so that it can continue to spread more unfettered. After all, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that over 50% of the Covid-19 coronavirus transmissions occur from people who don't even realize that they are infected. Pandemic fatigue is playing a role as well. People are getting tired of hearing about the pandemic.

Q: What's the best way to store binary Ive recently implemented Hoffman compression in c++, if I were to store the results as binary it would take up a lot more space as each 1 and 0 is a character. Alternatively I was thinking maybe I could break the binary into sections of 8 and put characters in the text file, but that would kinda be annoying (so hopefully that can be avoided). My question here is what is the best way to store binary in a text file in terms of character efficietcy?

A: [To recap the comments...]

My question here is what is the best way to store binary in a text file in terms of character efficiently?

If you can store the data as-is, then do so (in other words, do not use any encoding; simply save the raw bytes).
If you need to store the data within a text file (for instance as a paragraph or as a quoted string), then you have many ways of doing so. For instance, base64 is a very common one, but there are many others.

Laura Maria Caterina Bassi Veratti (29 October 1711 – 20 February 1778) was an Italian physicist and academic. Recognized and depicted as "Minerva" (goddess of wisdom), she was the first woman to have a doctorate in science, and the second woman in the world to earn the Doctor of Philosophy degree. Working at the University of Bologna, she was also the first salaried female teacher in a university. At one time the highest paid employee of the university, by the end of her life Bassi held two other professorships. She was also the first female member of any scientific establishment, when she was elected to the Academy of Sciences of the Institute of Bologna in 1732 at 21.

Bassi had no formal education and was privately tutored from age five until she was twenty. By then she was well versed in major disciplines including sciences and mathematics. Noticing her ability, Prospero Lambertini, the Archbishop of Bologna (later Pope Benedict XIV), became her patron. With Lambertini's arrangement she publicly defended forty-nine theses before professors of the University of Bologna on 17 April 1732, for which she was awarded a doctoral degree on 12 May. A month later, she was appointed by the university as its first female teacher, albeit with the restriction that she was not allowed to teach all-male classes. Lambertini, by then the Pope, helped her to receive permissions for private classes and experiments, which were granted by the university in 1740.

Bassi became the most important populariser of Newtonian mechanics in Italy. She was inducted by the Pope to the Benedettini (similar to modern Pontifical Academy of Sciences) as an additional member in 1745. She took up the Chair of Experimental Physics in 1776, the position she held until her death. She is interred at the Church of Corpus Domini, Bologna.

Life
Bassi was born in 1711 in Bologna, to a prosperous lawyer Giuseppe Bassi and his wife Maria Rosa Cesari. The exact date of her birth is given variously as 20 October, 29 October, 31 October, and 29 November. But the University of Bologna and scholarly works agree on 29 October.

Bassi was privately educated. Her cousin Father Lorenzo Stegani taught her Latin, French, and mathematics from age five. From the age of thirteen to twenty she was taught philosophy, metaphysics, logic, and natural philosophy by Gaetano Tacconi, the family physician and professor of medicine at the University of Bologna. She and Tacconi began to drift apart after Bassi discovered an interest in Newtonian science, despite Tacconi's preference for her to focus on the less controversial Cartesian teachings.

Bassi's education and intellect was noticed by Prospero Lorenzini Lambertini, who became the Archbishop of Bologna in 1731 (later Pope Benedict XIV). Lambertini became the official patron of Bassi. He arranged for a public debate between Bassi and four professors from the University of Bologna on 17 April 1732. (Gabriele Manfredi, Jacopo Bartolomeo Beccari and Francesco Maria Zanotti took part.) In 1732, Bassi, aged twenty, publicly defended her forty-nine theses on Philosophica Studia at the Sala degli Anziani of the Palazzo Pubblico. The University of Bologna awarded her a doctorate degree on 12 May. She became the first woman to receive a doctorate in science, and the second woman in the world to earn a philosophy doctorate after Elena Cornaro Piscopia in 1678, fifty-four years prior. She was by then popularly known as Bolognese Minerva. She became the first woman elected to the Academy of Sciences of the Institute of Bologna on 20 March 1732.

On 7 February 1738, Bassi married Giuseppe Veratti, a doctor of medicine and a fellow lecturer in anatomy at the University of Bologna. They shared a sophisticated working relationship; it is argued that through their marriage Bassi was inspired to begin studying experimental physics. The exact number of their children is not clear, as some reports say it is eight, while others say twelve. Baptismal records held only eight. Caterina (born 1739), Caterina (born 1742), and Flaminio (born 1751) died in infancy. But five survived infancy: Giovanni (1738–1800), who became a canon of San Petronio and professor of theology in the Collegio Montalto; Ciro (1744–1827); Caterina (1745–1768), who became a nun; Giacomo (1749–1818), who became a canon; and Paolo (1753–1831), who became a doctor and professor of experimental physics at the Institute of Science and the only one to produce heirs.

Career

University of Bologna

On 27 June 1732, Bassi defended twelve additional theses at the Archiginnasio, the main building of the University of Bologna. This was a petition for a teaching position to the Senate of the university. Her theses covered a wide range of subjects such as chemistry, physics, hydraulics, mathematics, mechanics and techniques. On 29 October 1732, the Senate and the University of Bologna granted Bassi's candidature and was appointed professor of natural philosophy (modern equivalent of honorary position) in December. She became the first salaried woman lecturer in the world, thus beginning her academic career.

The first lecture she gave was titled "De aqua corpore naturali elemento aliorum corporum parte universi", which can roughly be translated from Latin as, "Water as a natural element of all other bodies". The University, however, still held that women were to lead private lives, so she was more restricted than male teachers from delivering public lectures. She then fought for teaching rights equal to those of men, but to no avail. From 1746 to 1777 she gave only one formal dissertation per year ranging in topic from the problem of gravity to electricity. It is reported that she gave at least thirty-one dissertations to the university. In 1739 her plea for normal teaching duty was supported by Lambertini and Flamino Scarselli, the secretary to the Bolognese ambassador at the papal court. She was again denied, but she was allowed to start private lessons and granted funds for experiments at her home in 1759. This allowed her to avoid the constraints of the university and to explore new ideas.

The Senate expected Bassi to attend various events because she was a symbol and political figure. The Carnival Anatomy, a public dissection with tickets open to anyone, was an event she was expected to attend because it was a central feature of public life at the university which attracted the attention of many foreigners and important community members. She began attending this event annually in 1734.

In 1772 Paolo Balbi, professor of experimental physics, died suddenly. Although Bassi's husband Verratti was Balbi's longtime assistant, Bassi believed she could fill the vacancy, and in 1776, at the age of 65, she was appointed to the Chair of Experimental Physics by the Bologna Institute of Sciences, with her husband as a teaching assistant. Two years later she died, having made science into a lifelong career and advanced the status of women in academic circles.

Experimental work
After her marriage to Giuseppe Veratti, she was able to lecture from home on a regular basis. During the 1760s, Bassi and her husband worked together on experimental research in electricity. This attracted the talent of Abbé Nollet and others to Bologna to study electricity.

She was mainly interested in Newtonian physics and taught courses on the subject for 28 years. She was one of the key figures in introducing Newton's ideas of physics and natural philosophy to Italy. She also carried out experiments of her own in all aspects of physics. In order to teach Newtonian physics and Franklinian electricity, topics that were not part of the university curriculum, Bassi gave private lessons. In her lifetime, she was the author of 28 papers, the majority of these on physics and hydraulics, although she did not publish any books. Only four of her papers were printed.

Bassi faced financial constraints for her experiments, which she mentioned in a letter to Flaminio Scarselli on 16 July 1755, saying, "As for my physical experiments, and in view of the fact that the continual expense that arises requires some form of assistance if I am to advance and perfect them, I am almost in despair." But she and Domenico Galeazzi were at the time paid the highest salaries (1,200 lire) in the university.

Correspondence
The defense of her degree, awarding ceremony, and first lecture in 1732 were significant as they took place in the Palazzo Pubblico, one of the most important government buildings in Bologna. These events were attended by "not only the university faculty and students, but also by principal political and religious figures of the city – the Papal legate and vice-legate, the Archbishop of Bologna, the Gonfaloniere, the Elders, senators and magistrates. Additionally, 'all the ladies of Bologna and all the nobility'."

One of her most important patrons was Cardinal Prospero Lambertini, who encouraged her scientific work. He continually supported the University of Bologna and intervened when other members of the institute tried to segregate Bassi from the rest of the professors.

In 1745, Lambertini (now Pope Benedict XIV) established an elite group of 25 scholars known as the Benedettini ("Benedictines", named after himself.) Bassi pressed hard to be appointed to this group, but there was a mixed reaction from the other academics. Ultimately, Benedict did appoint her as an additional member, the only woman in the group, but without voting rights as the men.

Only a limited number of her scientific works survive, but her scientific impact is evident through her many correspondents including Voltaire, Cesare Beccaria, Francesco Algarotti, Roger Boscovich, Charles Bonnet, Jean-Antoine Nollet, Paolo Frisi, Lazzaro Spallanzani and Alessandro Volta. Voltaire once wrote to her saying, "There is no Bassi in London, and I would be much happier to be added to your Academy of Bologna than that of the English, even though it has produced a Newton".

Francesco Algarotti who published  his Neutonianismo per le dame ("Newtonism for Ladies") in 1737 wrote several poems regarding her degree ceremonies.

Death
Bassi died on 20 February 1778 at the age of 66. She had deteriorating health attributed to her many pregnancies and childbirth complications. The cause of her death was recorded as attacco di petto (an "attack in the chest", likely heart attack). Her funeral was held at the Church of Corpus Domini, Bologna, where silver laurels were put on her head and she was paid tribute by members of the Benedettina. She was interred in the church in Via Tagliapietre, in front of the tomb of her fellow scientist Luigi Galvani.

Honors and awards
A bronze medal was awarded to Bassi by painter Domenico Maria Fratta and engraver Antonio Lazzari, to celebrate her first series of classes titled "Pubblica Docente e Collegiata". The medal displayed Bassi's image on one side, and on the other, the phrase "Soli cui fas vidisse Minervam". The phrase can roughly be translated to, "Only you can see Minerva".

After her death, a marble statue was made in her memory and placed above the Nautical Room in the institute.

She was an elected member of many literary societies and carried on an extensive correspondence with the most eminent European men of letters. She had membership in Accademia delle Scienze dell'Instituto di Bologna (1732), Accademia dei Dissonanti di Modena (1732), Universitá degli Apastiti, Firenze (1732), Accademia degli Arcadi di Roma (1737), Accademia dei Fluttuanti di Finale di Modena (1745), Accademia degli Ipocondriaci di Reggio Emilia (1750), Accademia degli Ardenti di Bologna (1752), Accademia degli Agiati di Rovereto (1754), Accademia dell'Emonia di Busseto (1754), Accademia degli Erranti di Fermo (1755), Accademia degli amanti della Botenica di Cortona (1758), Accademia Fulginia di Foligno (1760 and 1761), Accademia dei Teopneusti di Correggio (1763), and Accademia dei Placidi di Recanati (1774).

She was well acquainted with classical literature, as well as with the literature of France and Italy.

Legacy
A 31 km crater on Venus honours her name, along with a high school, and a city street, Via Laura Bassi Veratti, in Bologna.

The Editing Press offers a Laura Bassi Scholarship thrice in a year since 2018 to junior academics, master's and doctoral candidates.

An icebreaker research ship RRS Ernest Shackleton of the British Antarctic Survey was acquired by the Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale (National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics) on 9 May 2019, and was renamed Laura Bassi.

On 17 April 2021, Google showed a Doodle celebrating Bassi and her many achievements.

Published works
Owing to her administrative duties, family problems and frequent diseases during childbirth, Bassi published only a few works, which reflect a small fraction of her contributions to the University of Bologna. Her scientific works were best summed up in Domenico Piani's treatise Catalogo dei Lavori dell'Antica Accademia, raccolti sotto i singoli autori, published in 1852. Her published works were:
 De acqua corpore naturali elemento aliorum corporum parte universi (Concerning bodies of water as natural elements of other parts of the universe, a collection of theses for university appointment, was published in 1732)
 Four works that appeared in De Bononiensi Scientiarum et Artium Instituto atque Academia Commentarii (Commentaries of the Bologna Institute and the Academy of Arts and Sciences), namely

 De aeris compressione (Concerning air pressure, 1745)
 De problemate quodam hydrometrico (Concerning certain problems in hydrometrics, 1757)
 De problemate quodam mechanico (Concerning certain problems in mechanics, 1757)
 De immixto fluidis aere (Concerning intermixed gaseous fluid, posthumously published in 1792)

When is Harassment in New Jersey Considered Domestic Violence?
Even for an experienced New Jersey Divorce and Family Attorney, determining whether an individual's behavior amounts to harassment under New Jersey's Prevention of Domestic Violence Act is a challenge. When a couple is experiencing a messy "break up," my office is frequently asked to investigate such situations. As a New Jersey Domestic Violence Lawyer for nearly the past 20 years, my legal team and I analyze the specific facts of the situation in order to advise our client's whether a Temporary Restraining Order is necessary. Simply put, the difference between Harassment under New Jersey's Criminal Code versus "breaking up bickering" is often a very fine line. The best way to explain the difference is to share some examples but first let's be clear what harassment is under New Jersey's Criminal Code.
What is Harassment in New Jersey?
Harassment is Domestic Violence in New Jersey if the aggressor purposely intended to harass by using a course of alarming conduct or repeated acts intended to alarm or seriously annoy another causing immediate danger to a person or their property.
Who can I get a Temporary Restraining Order against?
You may obtain a Temporary Restraining Order against a spouse, a former spouse, a present or former household member, a person that you have a child with (even if currently pregnant) or someone that you have or had a dating relationship with.
What are examples of Harassment under New Jersey's Prevention of Domestic Violence Act?
I often find the best way to explain complex areas of NJ Domestic Violence law is to use examples. The "Plaintiff" is the victim who has obtained a Temporary Restraining Order and the "Defendant" is the accused domestic abuser. In each example that the Defendant was found to have harassed the Plaintiff, a Final Restraining Order was issued. Following please find a number of illustrations to help crystallize your understanding of Harassment in N.J.:
Example #1 – The Defendant committed Harassment when he drove back and forth past the Plaintiff's home 6 times, then parked his car and walked back and forth in front of the house and watched her through a window. He then called her, asked her, "if she was packing" and told her that "he could find her where ever she went;"
Example #2 – The Defendant 's calling the Plaintiff 64 times in one day with various threats amounted to Harassment;
Example #3 – The Defendant caused Harassment when he sent the Plaintiff a series of text and emails in a very short amount of time. The Defendant also hired a private investigator and put a tracking device in the Plaintiff's car. Further, he sent an email to their son's teacher, with a copy to the Plaintiff, criticizing her parenting skills and mental stability and blamed her for their son's recent issues regarding his behavior in class;
Example #4 – It was not harassment when the Defendant threatened to turn off the phone at the marital home and, in fact, carried out his juvenile threat as the Plaintiff was neither harmed or subjected to injury;
Example #5 – A single act of trespassing was not harassment especially when there was no violence or a threat of violence;
Example #6 – It was not harassment when the Defendant told the Plaintiff that he no longer loved her or felt attracted to her, even though it was his intention to put her down and make her feel emotionally distressed.
As a Final Restraining Order can have a devastating effect on a one's life, including their relationship with their children, it is a matter that should never be taken lightly. If you feel you may be the victim of harassment, or if you feel you have been falsely accused, please call my New Jersey Family Law Firm to discuss the details of your situation so that we may provide you with not only our legal opinion, but strategies moving forward so that you may avoid such circumstances in the future.

PhRMA Statement on Tennessee Medicaid Demonstration
WASHINGTON, D.C. (January 14, 2021) – Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) vice president Priscilla VanderVeer released the following statement:
"PhRMA strongly opposes the Trump Administration's decision to approve this tone-deaf and disruptive waiver that will greatly restrict Medicaid's ability to provide care to the state's most vulnerable patients—including children and those with serious diseases. To make matters worse, this flawed decision jeopardizes access to lifesaving medicines and treatments for chronic conditions for the nearly 1.4 million vulnerable people who rely on TennCare and further exacerbates the challenges people are facing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"While PhRMA supports state efforts to expand insurance coverage for state residents, Tennessee's waiver fails to ensure robust access to care, including medically necessary treatments, and raises serious concerns about the long-term impact on some of the state's sickest and most vulnerable people.
"The waiver also violates federal law and Medicaid statute by allowing the use of closed formularies while maintaining statutorily mandated rebates on medicines in the Medicaid program. This would upend the careful balance struck between pharmaceutical manufacturers' obligations to provide substantial rebates and states' obligations to ensure patients' access to most FDA-approved medicines. The unintended consequences of this approval would endanger access to life-saving health care for those who need it most."
Under the Medicaid Drug Rebate program, the Secretary of Health and Human Services and approximately 600 pharmaceutical manufacturers have contractually agreed for states to cover most FDA-approved covered outpatient medicines, and in exchange participating states get statutory manufacturer rebates. In 2019, manufacturers provided $35.9 billion in rebates nationwide, which are shared by the federal government and states, to the Medicaid program alone. Manufacturers rebated $683 million back to Tennessee and the federal government in 2019. States already have significant flexibility under the statute to manage drug spending. Current law already provides states with authority to create preferred drug lists, and even formularies, as well as use other statutory utilization management tools to manage drug spending. Limiting access to medicines in Medicaid is also proven to increase costs in other health care services that are a far greater strain on state budgets than prescription medicines, which make up just 4.1% of total Medicaid spending in Tennessee.
The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) represents the country's leading innovative biopharmaceutical research companies, which are devoted to discovering and developing medicines that enable patients to live longer, healthier and more productive lives. Since 2000, PhRMA member companies have invested nearly $1 trillion in the search for new treatments and cures, including an estimated $83 billion in 2019 alone.
