Atlanta businessmen's horses to race in Kentucky Derby
Atlanta has a horse in the race at the 145th Kentucky Derby, the longest-running sporting event in the country.
Well, two horses.
Atlanta businessmen Dean Reeves and Tyler Alexander both have ties to Thoroughbred contenders — horses Tax and Plus Que Parfait — in the May 4 race at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky.
"It's just a surreal time," said Atlanta native and Georgia Tech grad Reeves of Reeves Thoroughbred Racing, a majority owner of Tax, one of 20 horses set to race. "I'm really excited to be going back."
Reeves, chairman and co-owner of Reeves Young (an Atlanta construction company that's worked on some of the city's biggest projects including completing all the site work for Mercedes-Benz Stadium and the former Georgia Dome) had a horse named Mucho Macho Man place third in the 2011 Kentucky Derby. He shared with Atlanta Business Chronicle the thrill of the race.
"You are pretty nervous all day long," Reeves said. "You have people screaming for your horse. You look up as you walk on the track and there's 165,000 people. It is mind boggling. You are just blown away just by how big the whole event is."
This year, Reeves has invited Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and state Sen. Brandon Beach to cheer on Tax at the Kentucky Derby. "He can get the distance," said Reeves, 67, who attended his first Kentucky Derby in the 1970s and for more than 20 years in a row. "I think we have a good shot. He's a big, strong colt."
Only three-year-old Thoroughbred horses can race in the Kentucky Derby, competing this year for a record $3 million prize. The race distance is one and one-quarter miles long. It's often called "the most exciting two minutes in sports." Each year, more than $200 million is wagered on all the races of the Kentucky Derby. The race is put on by Louisville, Ky.-based Churchill Downs Inc. (Nasdaq: CHDN).
Alexander, who bred contender Plus Que Parfait with his partner and long-time friend Clint Joiner, can hardly contain his excitement about having a horse in the Kentucky Derby.
Plus Que Parfait winning the $2.5M UAE Derby in Dubai on March 30th. Plus Que Parfait is the 3rd leading money earner so far in 2019 for all thoroughbred race horses in America.
Plus Que Parfait was just the third horse the pair, both 47 years old, foaled since launching Kentucky-based Calloway Stables.
"We will gladly play the role as the long shot," said Joiner, who is based in Union City, Tenn., where both were raised. Alexander today handles business development for Atlanta-based Exploring Inc., a family of companies that builds events including working on this year's Super Bowl in Atlanta.
"By the numbers, we aren't even supposed to have a horse in this race," Joiner said. "But, anything can happen in a Derby."
They said Plus Que Parfait took an usual path to the Kentucky Derby, winning the $2.5 million U.A.E. Derby in Dubai, which landed the horse enough points to qualify for the Kentucky Derby.
Plus Que Parfait, a French phrase that translates to "more than perfect," now places fourth on the leader board rank. A win could be game-changing for Calloway Stables.
"It's taken a lifetime to get here," said Morningside resident Alexander, whose family bred Quarter Horses and Tennessee Walking Horses. "We realize it could be several lifetimes before it ever happens again. Every moment will be savored and appreciated."
Reeves shared about the appeal of horse racing and the business opportunity.
"It is the only business I know of that a person can have their own sports franchise," Reeves said. "Most people will never own a NFL franchise, nor a Major League Baseball franchise ... But in horse racing, anybody can buy a horse for $5,000 or $500,000. That horse can be a great horse. They come from anywhere."
It's not just a rich man's sport, added Alexander and Joiner.

"There are so many levels that you can enter," Alexander said, recommending a bloodstock agent for buying and selling horses. "The opportunity is there."
Interestingly, Reeves and Alexander are both board members of the Georgia Horse Racing Coalition, an advocacy group trying to bring horse racing to the state.
"Economically, it's a real boon for middle and south Georgia," Reeves said. "We are just trying to get it to the ballot so the people of Georgia can vote on it."
But, legalizing gambling, including casinos and pari-mutuel betting on horse racing, again was a non-starter in the General Assembly this year.
n response, Senate backers created an 11-member study committee to meet this summer and fall to do a deep dive on the various ramifications of legalizing casinos and racetracks. The panel is due to report its findings by Dec. 1.
"It would be a fantastic thing for Georgia," Alexander said, especially because of the state's location between Lexington, Ky., and Ocala, Fla., where thoroughbred horses go back and forth to race and train. "It's an unbelievable impact that these animals have ... This is the last frontier in America. It's the largest metropolitan area in the United States without a track."

Anti-Theism Is a Lame Excuse to Undermine Accusations of Islamophobia
Islamophobia is quite the particular beast when it comes to online harassment. As in it does seem to come from just about everywhere. From people who you think are your allies, and from those who are your sworn enemies.
I remember having to conceal my identity from wherever I go, and right up until 2016 when election season was kicking into high gear, I never truly confessed my religious allegiance on social media because I saw what it can do on Reddit, on YouTube, and several other corners of the internet where moderation is nigh-on absent. People get more scrutinized for the fact they believe in a God, and they are presumed by many to be less intelligent, and more prone to radicalization as a result, but that's not who I am — that's never who I was meant to be.
I remember having to conceal my identity from wherever I go
When ISIS first rose to prominence, I was repeatedly and constantly mocked in the public. Mostly by teenagers who are still well into their edgy phase. The fact I still have to see the shit I'm about to show online is deeply demoralizing, and it's become a trigger for me, that whenever I stumble upon anything even remotely similar, I experience racial trauma on what only could be described as PTSD-adjacent. I'm momentarily thrust back into that feeling I have whenever my guard is down, and I'm expected to conform a notion that makes me a killer, a rapist, a leech on society, and so much of what is thought to be universal to Muslims, solely based on the vague assumption that since they're brown, and fit the profile of an Arab, they must be one, and therefore, they're filthy Muslims not to be fucked with.
An unfortunate collateral of those kinds of statements is the people whose views this absolutely doesn't corroborate.
I told people repeatedly that they need to stop thinking that the 'gotcha' condescending attitude towards religious people is a clever retorque to any showing of bigoted behavior. The very fact that atheist/agnostic people get away with much worse, don't have anyone but themselves to account for their actions, and don't have their deeds blamed on whoever their idol is, speaks volumes about our failure as a society to acknowledge that bigotry, has been, and always will be, a personal behavior instigated by our own very personal failings, and not the teachings of a deity.
There's a fine line to walk between feeling like you've done a good thing, and having done something great for religious minorities around the world — dumping your deep-seated hatred of Evangelicals on the rest of theists is counterproductive. It will only further divide us, and will create a rift that's impossible to overcome even by those most reconciliatory.
Or so at least I'm not mad enough to attempt to bridge that gap because most of my racial trauma doesn't come from Christians — it comes from New Atheists. And the fact that I have to constantly put out a reminder on social media that I'd rather not have to deal with any disparaging comment about someone's worshipped deity is quite showing of how bigotry never left, but only seemed to exchange hands and faces.

It is absolutely not 'woke' to throw people of faith under the bus for the failure of others who merely have to only claim they follow said faith. As it has been potent to not say 'Fuck Allah' because an ISIS combatant has blown someone, it has never been potent to shed your grievances, whether you're a person of faith or not, on someone's deity, it is a line I'm not willing to let people cross.
It is absolutely not 'woke' to throw people of faith under the bus for the failure of others who merely have to only claim they follow said faith
And hey, maybe I'm making an entire ordeal about this all for nothing. But I trust my gut, and it's telling me most people don't truly realize what bad a feeling it is to see alt-right trolls' concerns co-signed by normal everyday people.
I was hurting, I became physically ill last night after seeing those comments. The replies were oh so ever gut-wrenching. I was propelled right back to when New Atheists used to call the God I revere with so much respect a "Skydaddy".
I don't believe that God is an imaginary friend in the sky, or that he's my daddy, (ironically or literally) I have an actual abusive dad who has never done for me nearly as enough as I expected him to do. That when I was at my lowest, this very same imaginary friend people claim He is, was there for me when I needed him most.
People outside the Abrahamic umbrella rarely ever understand the intimacy of the relationship a believer has with their worshipped deity. It's somehow viewed as foul, or 'corny', but to me, it has everything to do with acceptance, and nothing to do with exclusion or exclusivity.

For me, and to see a pasty white woman dish on someone's God as being "homophobic and transphobic", is about as sane as saying Marx has killed millions despite his followers, including mass murderers, not understanding a lick of his doctrine — except with God, it's easier to market, it's easier to make people believe like you actually give a shit, when in reality, you truly don't.
This particularly doesn't bode well with a lot of islamophobes on the left being discovered almost weekly it seems like, with only the very few willing to disavow them. Which means we'll never be safe. We'll never know safety as whom we're targeted by don't have a particularly outspoken sense of religious identity or belonging and a lot they can competently call their "brethren".
They'll truly never know what it feels like to see their peers mocked and ridiculed from whichever way the wind blows. Almost everywhere, and all the time. Muslims are being repressed, and driven to damn-near insanity trying to cobble up together a semblance of stability in a place that actively works to antagonize them. But it looks like that however hard we try, we'll always be at the crossfires of a petty argument on social media; the umpteenth person on Twitter to not be insulted directly to avoid a suspension, but rather have their God insulted because that's considered "an alternate opinion".
Your hatred of me, and your adamant insistence in empowering the very worst of anti-theism and Movement Atheism shows we're not allies, and we can never be allies until we're truly on a parallel path of togetherness towards progress, and the longer we are marginalized, the more likely someone will develop an animosity for these people and will end up losing their life, and costing others theirs in the process. And for what? A cheap shot at someone on social media? How petty.
If I myself, came to the same conclusion reading the tweet, as others did and figured that might not have been a very good tweet to send, people should listen. Atheists and Agnostic people alike should take what we think of our inadvertent involvement with a hateful rhetoric into account. Why are we excluded from the conversations that concern the very fabric of our long-held belief in mutual respect and coexistence is totally beyond me. It's as if we've made a more concerted effort in maintaining interfaith dialogue between us, and people of different faiths, than the people with the most neutral outlook on faith have with us.
Ultimately, and at this point, it's a regular occurrence in Left Twitter that I should've been prepared to see. But it caught me so off guard because of this built-up image in my head that I had of it when I recently joined: "it is the most accepting place, like ever". Come to realize, it's a constant game of back-stabbing and blame-shifting I wanted no part of.
It's the same shtick that Sam Harris, Lawrence Krauss, Bill Maher, and others have pioneered and even profiteered off of. The not-so-blatant hint that whatever 'God' you worship is an idiot, and He's all to blame for you being a dumbass is basically what it culminates into. It's nothing new, just the old repackaged as 'wokeness' to fool the inattentive into thinking it is part of progressive politics, when that couldn't be farther from the truth.
I urge all my fellow Jews, Christians, and Muslims, to band around, together in unison, and show dissenters that we are serious and determined about our message of peace — that whoever uses our platform for nothing but pain and resentment, will be ours to reprimand, and not others' to smear us with.
At the end here, I'd like to address a small concern some of you might have. Why didn't I rush to denounce transphobia and homophobia first, and then make a case for why God shouldn't be the butt of the joke in progressive discourse? My question to you is: Why would I?
If it is automatically assumed that I have to make a concerted effort to make people believe I'm not a bigot, more than an atheist would, then you have your answer. And you have also, internalized bigotry that you should probably work to get rid of.

Investing in Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) five years ago would have delivered you a 59% gain
28 November 2022, 6:00 am ·3-min read
If you buy and hold a stock for many years, you'd hope to be making a profit. Furthermore, you'd generally like to see the share price rise faster than the market. Unfortunately for shareholders, while the The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) share price is up 36% in the last five years, that's less than the market return. Zooming in, the stock is up a respectable 17% in the last year.
Now it's worth having a look at the company's fundamentals too, because that will help us determine if the long term shareholder return has matched the performance of the underlying business.
See our latest analysis for Coca-Cola
While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance. One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price.
Over half a decade, Coca-Cola managed to grow its earnings per share at 17% a year. This EPS growth is higher than the 6% average annual increase in the share price. So one could conclude that the broader market has become more cautious towards the stock.
The image below shows how EPS has tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail).
earnings-per-share-growth
We know that Coca-Cola has improved its bottom line lately, but is it going to grow revenue? If you're interested, you could check this free report showing consensus revenue forecasts.
What About Dividends?
As well as measuring the share price return, investors should also consider the total shareholder return (TSR). Whereas the share price return only reflects the change in the share price, the TSR includes the value of dividends (assuming they were reinvested) and the benefit of any discounted capital raising or spin-off. Arguably, the TSR gives a more comprehensive picture of the return generated by a stock. We note that for Coca-Cola the TSR over the last 5 years was 59%, which is better than the share price return mentioned above. And there's no prize for guessing that the dividend payments largely explain the divergence!
We're pleased to report that Coca-Cola shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 20% over one year. And that does include the dividend. That's better than the annualised return of 10% over half a decade, implying that the company is doing better recently. Someone with an optimistic perspective could view the recent improvement in TSR as indicating that the business itself is getting better with time. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Coca-Cola better, we need to consider many other factors. Even so, be aware that Coca-Cola is showing 2 warning signs in our investment analysis , you should know about...

John Monks left the Royal College of Art in 1980 and has painted professionally ever since. His paintings are always atmospheric, the earlier works painted in his studio are mostly still life works.
The exacting brush strokes are applied with ease and bravura, the surface scumbled and scraped until the precise stroke is achieved, this produces an energy rarely seen in any still life.
Monks' earlier works tend to be very large so it is very unusual to find an example of domestic size, this painting of tins and brushes is typical of his mid 1980's work, the palette of greens and creams with dramatic highlights painted tightly yet seeming effortless.

SDEIS Professor Young Chun Named a Runner-Up for Journal of Operational Research Society's Goodeve Medal
Young H. Chun
Stephenson Department of Entrepreneurship and Information Systems Professor Young H. Chun published a single-authored research paper in the Journal of the Operational Research Society in 2020 titled, "Information Economics Approach to the Performance Evaluation of Error-Prone Internal Auditors," that was named one of three runners-up for the journal's Goodeve Medal. The Goodeve Medal is awarded annually for the best paper published in the Journal of the Operational Society in the previous year.
Chun's paper explored two types of errors that internal auditors may make when analyzing financial records: when the internal auditor classifies correct payments as incorrect (type I error) or fails to detect some incorrect payments (type II error). Chun used various methods of estimating (i) the internal auditor's two types of errors and (ii) the total number of incorrect records treating each internal auditor as an information structure with imperfect information to calculate the value of information via an information economics approach. He used the same approach to measure and compare the performances of multiple internal auditors with different type I and II errors.
The Journal of Operational Research Society (JORS) has published 12 times a year since 1950 and is one of the premier journals in the field of operational research. Created in 1948, the Journal of Operational Research Society is the flagship journal of The Operational Research (OR) Society. The OR Society, headquartered in Birmingham, England, is the world's oldest-established learned society catering to the OR profession, and one of the largest in the world, with members in 53 countries.
The Goodeve Medal was named in memory of Sir Charles Frederick Goodeve, who was one of the founders of The OR Society and pioneers of civilian operational research and a past leader of the OR Club and The OR Society. The medal recognizes the most outstanding contribution to the philosophy, theory, or practice of OR published in the Journal of the Operational Research Society (JORS) every year. As one of this year's runners up, The OR Society will make Chun's paper free to access for 12 months via its publisher, Taylor & Francis Group.

I've not written much lately. Work's been busy, crowding out quite a lot of things. Time to reflect and think about what to write has been an early casualty.
It's not just on the blog that I've been running out of words. I remember a time when talk of Jesus came naturally to my lips. He was a part of every day conversations, both with Christians and others.
Well, here's a big thing that struck me recently. I've taken my ability to talk about Jesus for granted, and so I've stopped praying about it. "God knows that I want my friends to become Christians… so there's no need to talk to him about it." Then I'm surprised when opportunities don't present themselves, or they do and I've no idea what to say.
Paul asks the Colossians to pray that he'd have opportunities to speak of Jesus, and that when they come he'd speak the gospel clearly. The greatest evangelist of the early church, if not all time, and he prays for the right words to say and the opportunities to say them! If Paul realises he needs prayer in order to speak of Jesus, then of course I do too.
This coming week the CU at my old university has a load of events planned to help students reach out to students with the good news of Jesus. Just round the corner there are all sorts of outreach opportunities for churches over the Christmas period. Great opportunities – but none of them, none of them, will get anywhere without prayer.
And that is good news. Why? Well, in prayer we recognise our inability to change people's hearts, including our own. We come to God needy and dependent, as children to our Father – and, gloriously, we find that he is powerful and he listens! Speaking of Jesus is hard. By ourselves, we wouldn't be up to it. But we're not by ourselves. God is with us and goes before us.
So let's ask for his help. Let us pray.

Android News / Reviews / ConnectSense In-Wall Outlet Review – Saving Money Conveniently With True Smart Plugs
ConnectSense In-Wall Outlet Review – Saving Money Conveniently With True Smart Plugs
By Daniel Golightly
ConnectSense In-Wall Outlet earns its Editor's Choice award through its form, functionality, and simplicity.
ConnectSense 15 Amp In-Wall Outlet
As easy to install as a normal outlet
Doesn't clash with standard outlets
Durable and should last as long as standard outlets
App is intuitive and easy to use
Fully compatible with scheduling requirements
Easy-to-see lights so you know when they're on
Voice controllable via Siri, Alexa, or Assistant
15 Amp or 20 Amp available
Money-saving thanks to usage monitoring & handy cost estimates
No real lag to speak of, very responsive
Pricing feels somewhat steep
Didn't work to connect via NFC during out test
3D scan code only works with iOS
ConnectSense may not be the first brand you think of when you think of smart home products but the company sent us its smart In-Wall Outlet for review and it's definitely worth considering.
The ConnectSense In-Wall Outlet comes in two flavors. There's a 15 Amp or 20 Amp design to choose from depending on your home or business needs. Those start out at $79.95 for the 15 Amp variant covered in this review and pack in features far beyond what might be expected of an in-wall outlet of any stripe.
Not only does ConnectSense In-Wall Outlet let users control their plugs with Apple's Siri, Amazon Alexa, or Google's Assistant. The device enables users to have lag-free real-time usage data read, sorted, and organized. So it's a money-saving tool. Additionally, ConnectSense has packed in features like touch controls, NFC for connecting, and lights for all the status needs you could want.
It placed all of that in an outlet design that blends almost seamlessly with other plugs. And it built the device to stand up to abuse the same as well. Installing the plug is straightforward, with guides on the back of the device — as shown in pictures below — making the process easier.
All of that jointly makes this plug both a joy to use and install, easily earning it an Editor's Choice award. That also makes it an exceptionally obvious choice for buyers who need or want this type of solution.
What's the hardware and design like? It's all but invisible
ConnectSense In-Wall Outlet seamlessly integrates into the home thanks to its great design.
When I first received my ConnectSense In-Wall Outlet review unit, I was initially shocked by how much it appeared like a normal outlet. From a distance, it's all but indistinguishable aside from its two active blue LED lights. Those show up only when the plugs are turned on. Turned off, there's little to no difference between this plug and any other.
That's a positive thing since, at $79.95 for the 15 Amp version and $99.95 for the 20 Amp variant, I wasn't in a hurry to replace the other outlets in my home immediately. Instead, I focused on putting the In-Wall Outlet where it would serve its most useful purpose. And it seamlessly blended in like any standard outlet rather than drawing too much attention.
The ConnectSense In-Wall Outlet also came with a standard square outlet cover, complete with fasteners.
Aside from looking like a standard plug, once the Wi-Fi symbol-bearing sticker is removed, this plug feels about the same quality. That is to say, it feels extremely sturdy.
As with any in-wall outlet, this isn't going to be waterproof or anything of the sort. Since that's not really an expectation here, it isn't going to be an issue at all.
But the brackets, poly/plastics body materials, and all of the hardware feel like it will last at least as long as its less smart counterparts. The ConnectSense In-Wall Outlet should last for years and years to come, provided none of its internal components go out. Each plug fits as snugly as would be wanted, so longevity there wouldn't be an issue most likely.
Installation of ConnectSense In-Wall is easy if you know what you're doing
Before ConnectSense In-Wall Outlet.
ConnectSense In-Wall Outlet is designed to blend in.
Just as with the looks of this device and with pretty much everything else, installing the ConnectSense smart In-Wall Outlet for this review was surprisingly like installing a normal plug. In fact, it's identical. The biggest caveat is that this is a square-shaped plug and slightly thicker from front-to-back than is normal. So, as I discovered, it's going to stand forward a little when placed into older, smaller in-wall outlet boxes.
Aside from that, it's simply a matter of killing power to the old outlet via a breaker — or to the wall in question for fresh home installs. Then, after removing the old outlet, the spots on the new outlet are marked with which wire goes where. Those get plugged in or wrapped and then tightened down. The power gets turned back on and it's ready to go.
For those who aren't comfortable with installing in-wall outlets, any professional will be able to install this at no extra cost. It's a good idea to take a picture of the numbers along the edge of the hardware though. Those may be needed to finish installation on the smart home side of things for some users.
Once installed, there are several ways to set it up. First, for iOS and Apple HomeKit users, the system can be installed on a network simply by scanning the 3D code on the back of the manual from the ConnectSense app. Android and iOS users can also tap through with NFC, although that method didn't work for the older handset used in this review of the ConnectSense In-Wall Outlet.
Finally, there is an eight-digit code on that abovementioned code that can be input if needed. That's followed by inputting a four-digit code on the side of the plug as mentioned above. Once connected, the app controls the plug or the plug itself has touch buttons to activate or deactivate the individual plugs.
First and foremost, this is a plug with smart integration
The ConnectSense app and AI assistants make In-Wall Outlet smarter than just about every competitor on the market.
Of course, the big question here is how this functions as a plug. The primary function of the ConnectSense In-Wall Outlet, as my review revealed, is to act as an outlet. On that front, it works spectacularly, as expected. With some extras.
The app allows direct control of the outlets on an individual basis. In fact, the ConnectSense app starts by asking where the plug is installed. It also inquires about what will typically be plugged into each socket. Then it shows switches that can be slid to toggle the switch off and on.
In my case, a "holiday tree" was the plugged-in item for the 15A plug I received. 20A plugs are also available. So the application showed a tree with decorations and the toggle. It only shows the plugged-in icon when the plug is in use. Otherwise, it shows an empty socket.
ConnectSense designed its In-Wall Outlet with user-set schedules that can be set and run remotely via the app once it is plugged in, turned on, and connected. So the device never actually forced me to manually turn it on. I simply set the app to do it around the time night sets and let it do its work on a daily basis.
That's useful. It helps my lights come on at random-seeming intervals so that it looks as though I'm home when I'm not, for example. Better still, ConnectSense is fully compatible with Siri, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant. So, once connected, the device is easily controllable via voice.
The more plugs you install, the more money you could save
ConnectSense allows scheduling, control, and monitoring to save money with In-Wall Outlet.
Money-saving with the ConnectSense In-Wall Outlet is going to come down to several factors but it is by far the most prominent feature here. And the more outlets are replaced with ConnectSense In-Wall Outlet, the more money you'll save.
That's because this outlet lets you track, in real-time, how much energy each plug is using. That provides an opportunity, with more outlets installed, to really check in on usage regularly. The app also splits things on both an individual and a collective basis between daily, monthly, weekly, and yearly usage. That's per individual plug and better still, I never noticed a bit of lag or disconnections.
Taken collectively, that means that more things plugged into one of these mean more opportunities to see where exactly your money is going. ConnectSense says the figures are accurate to 0.1-percent. The numbers the app provides by dollar amount seem to be slightly off. They were too high in my case and are likely based on a wider area's average.
The kicker, though, is that more outlets here only means more control over usage and electricity use. The app allows home, room, and what's plugged in to be identified by the user. So users have more control over how much they spend and what their appliances or devices are using. That makes it easier to conserve energy and lower the bills. With more outlets in use, it's even easier to do that.
What about other special features
ConnectSense In-Wall Outlet features touch buttons for troubleshooting and control. No more plugging and unplugging.
In addition to voice control and app management of the plugs, there are also three touch zones on the plug itself that help deactivate or activate the individual sockets or reset the device. Now that sounds counterintuitive since, at that point, I could have just reached down and unplugged the thing. But that turns out not to be the case.
The touch zones perform multiple functions, including rebooting if things go awry with a three-tap and hold on the fourth directly between the two clearly-marked power icons on the plug. More importantly, I found it much easier during my review of the ConnectSense In-Wall Outlet to just double-tap the touch zone for either socket when I needed it off.
That was particularly useful when the app was on a device I'd left in another room. And it saved me having to plug in and unplug the gadgets, which turned out to be quite time-saving. There wasn't any lag in its performance either, aside from the usual voice-control latency seen in all smart home devices. So the plugs respond quickly when needed. The one drawback to that is that the toggles in the app actually need to be slid instead of tapped. That's different from how most Android toggles work and threw me off for a few days, so it's worth noting.
After unplugging the Christmas tree, for instance, I'd ordinarily need to dig around the tree skirt for the cable and then find the end. Then I'd need to plug the end into the socket after orienting it. Done every day for weeks, that time adds up.
With ConnectSense In-Wall Outlet, during my review, I only had to reach down and double-tap. A quiet click and a blue light blinked out just a moment later, and the decorative tree had been turned off for the day.
Aside from that convenience, the lights each serve a distinct purpose too. There's an indicator light for each plug, noting whether it's off or on. Both are blue. The LED to indicate taps is also blue.
Finally, ConnectSense included an RBG LED on the left-hand side. That indicates the status of the plug. It shows whether the outlet is connected, for instance, or if something's gone wrong. The light acts as a guide through a reboot or to reset the device if that's needed too. I had no need to do that at all during my review but it is an easy process too.
But is ConnectSense In-Wall Outlet really worth its somewhat steep entry point?
ConnectSense In-Wall Outlet is a great way to take control of both plugs and electricity use.
The question of whether or not the ConnectSense In-Wall Outlet is worth the money depends on several factors. But that doesn't mean it's not an easy decision.
If you're looking to save a few bucks on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis, this device will do that. And it will do it for one of the more costly, difficult to accurately manage home bills — electricity.
Even at its somewhat expensive-seeming price point, ConnectSense In-Wall Outlet is a device that could genuinely pay for itself within just a few months. That says quite a lot about a device that could as easily otherwise be viewed as just a glorified wall plug.
For anybody interested in saving money or concerned about their impact on the environment, there's a similar story to be told. This device will help with that.
It will also keep working even if Wi-Fi goes out — although that means no more voice controls or monitoring. That's true even if it requires more direct interaction to turn off or on. So it isn't entirely wi-fi dependant after installation.
Installation is another area this shines. I have installed many plugs over the years and this was no more difficult to install than any normal plug. The key difference is that its rear covering is slightly longer than most others. It will still fit in place of the overwhelming majority of standard plugs.
For those who just want a plug that's smart, it'll fit that need too, making it versatile for a burgeoning smart home or business.

I'm currently doing my 2nd build ever (1st one was something like 7 years ago). My hardware knowledge is quite limited, but I've spent a lot of time recently browsing this sub and other places to find out what to get. I'd love to hear your input on the build, and if there are any obvious mistakes and/or smaller improvements that can be made.
My goal is to be able to game at 1440p 144hz on high graphics in demanding games. I don't really care about aesthetics.
My budget is approx. what is listed on PCPartpicker. I'm located in Sweden, so I've looked up prices here when selecting parts.
My biggest question-marks are the case and the motherboard. How important is the case? Since I've had incidents with my cat lying on top of my current one and turning it off, I wanted the power button on the side rather than on the top. I also wanted a small case (not important enough to warrant a micro-atx) and this one is supposed to be silent which is a plus.
For the motherboard I picked a pretty cheap one, since I'm not really interested in doing a lot of OCing. I might be persuaded however if you think it's something I really should be doing.
I'm also a little concerned that I went a bit over the top with the CPU. Any thoughts?
The z370 motherboard will need a bios update to support 9th gen intel. Get a z390 and save yourself the trouble.
Thanks a lot! I'll go for the Gigabyte Z390 Auros Pro instead then.

Tom Shiel – 17 June 2019 02:30 AM
Husband James Kilroy was remanded in custody
The body of Valerie French Kilroy was found on Friday
A 46-year-old man was charged yesterday with the murder of his wife in Co Mayo.
James Kilroy appeared before Judge Fiona Lydon at a special sitting of Castlebar District Court.
He was charged in connection with the death of his wife, Valerie French Kilroy, a 41-year-old mother-of-three, whose body was discovered on Friday.
Det Sgt Michael Doherty told the court that Mr Kilroy was arrested at 11.45am yesterday and charged with murder at 12.45pm.
He made no reply when charged.
Insp Denis Harrington applied for a remand in custody to Harristown District Court on Friday.
Gary Mulchrone, defending, said there were serious concerns about the mental health of his client, which had become apparent since his detention.
He said Mr Kilroy was in immediate need of medical attention and a psychiatric evaluation.
Judge Lydon remanded Mr Kilroy in custody and recommended the medical attention sought by Mr Mulchrone.
Free legal aid was also granted during the hearing.
A small group of relatives and the Rev Val Rogers, a Westport-based Church of Ireland rector, were in court for the brief hearing.
Mr Rogers spoke briefly to Mr Kilroy before he was led away by detectives.
Mr Kilroy, of Kilbree Lower, Westport, was dressed entirely in dark clothing, which included a black hoodie- type garment.
Arrangements have yet to be finalised for the funeral of Ms French Kilroy, a popular HSE employee.
A post-mortem examination was carried out on Saturday afternoon at Mayo General Hospital by the Acting State Pathologist Dr Linda Mulligan.
The results were not released for "operational reasons".

Non-compliance in clinical trials of retinal studies report a significant loss-to-follow up on patient numbers
28th February 2020 20th March 2020
Research from a retrospective analysis of 10 randomized clinical trials reporting on 390 subjects in investigator-initiated trials found 178 participants (45.6%) were noncompliant, while 212 participants (54.4%) were compliant. Analysis of the study indicated that regression models identified 17 variables that were significant in determining subject noncompliance. A number of these variables included distance (from travel), comorbidities, diabetic status, concomitant medications, previous clinic visits, length of study, disease under study, and severe adverse events. The investigator-initiated trials included nAMD, proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), and retinal venous occlusive diseases (RVO).
From FDA statistics across all types of pivotal studies, the cost of a mean study was estimated at $19M per trial, after which just under a tenth of all such trials lead to a therapeutic regulatory approval. While there are of course multiple reasons for trials not to complete such studies, one includes a loss-to-follow-ups (LTFU), which can then lead to under-powered studies. The research has stated that "noncompliance during prospective studies can bias results and limit conclusions." One independent study had estimated that "a study initially powered at 90% could have an actual power of 50% to 87% depending on the percentage of subjects (40% to 5%, respectively) contributing noninformative data owing to noncompliance to study procedures."
In the study, subjects recorded noncompliance issues such as worsening health (18.9%), death (15.1%), no longer wishing to participate in the study (13.2%), adverse event (AE) occurrence (9.43%), work (5.66%), relocation (5.66%), or transportation problems (1.89%), with over 30% subjects being lost to follow-up without documented explanation owing to termination of contact, despite multiple attempts to maintain contact. In the study, noncompliance rates decreased significantly with increasing age, with a rate of 58.7% for subjects aged <60 years, 45.7% for subjects aged 60 to 74.5 years, and 32.3% for subjects aged >75 years. In their discussion, the report had commented that "retina research has suffered many setbacks, with 3 failed phase 3 trial programs in 2018 for either nAMD or geographic atrophy secondary to AMD." The study highlighted that in sponsored studies of HAWK and HARRIER, there was mean completion rates of 89.5% and 93.4%, respectively. Similarly, in RISE and RIDE, there was mean completion rates of 83.3% and 84.6%, respectively, and VISTA and VIVID had mean completion rates of 76.6% and 74.4%, respectively. Further review may need to be required to show more specific details between investigator-initiated studies compared to commercial sponsored clinical research studies.

16 Killed in Series of Blasts Across Iraq
May 22: Boys sit near the scene of a car bomb attack in Baghdad, Iraq. A rapid-fire series of explosions in Baghdad while Iraqis were going to work on Sunday morning killed and wounded scores of people, police said (AP)
Baghdad – A rapid-fire series of explosions in and around Baghdad killed 16 people Sunday, including 10 people who died when a suicide bomber blew himself up in a crowd of police officers, officials said.
In total, at least 10 bombs exploded as Iraqis were headed to work in a reminder of the dangers Iraq still faces despite a drop in violence since the height of the war.
At least nine of the dead were police officers, who often are targeted by insurgents hoping to weaken the security forces as an end-of-the-year deadline for American troops to go home swiftly approaches.
It was the third major attack this month in which security personnel were targeted and took the most losses. Just last week, 27 people were killed outside a police station in the northern city of Kirkuk, and earlier this month 20 police officers in the southern city of Hillah died when a suicide bomber plowed his vehicle into a police compound.
The worst single attack Sunday came near the city of Taji, which is 12 miles (20 kilometers) north of Baghdad.
Police officers had gathered after a roadside bomb targeting a passing American military convoy blew up. When the police arrived on the scene, a suicide bomber walked into the crowd and blew himself up, police and hospital officials said.
Seven police and three civilians died and 19 people, including 15 policemen, were injured, the officials said.
Earlier in the capital, the beginning of the work week was shattered by a quick series of blasts in mostly Shiite neighborhoods.
At about 7 a.m. a car bomb in a parking lot in eastern Baghdad's Sadr City neighborhood exploded, injuring five people and damaging several nearby cars.
"We woke up to a big blast nearby and the glass windows in front of the house were smashed. My young brother was injured by glass," said Namiq Khazal, a 30-year-old who lives in Sadr City about 150 yards (meters) from where one of the blasts went off.
"On my way to the hospital I saw many wounded people and several cars damaged," he added.
Minutes later, also in Sadr City, a bomb hidden in a pile of garbage exploded, killing one person and wounding five more.
Then five minutes later another roadside bomb, this time targeting a police patrol, exploded; 3 policemen and four bystanders were injured in that blast.
In the southwestern neighborhood of Bayaa, the morning calm was shattered by five explosions that went off in rapid succession.
First a roadside bomb targeted a police patrol. Then a minute later another roadside bomb went off in a commercial street followed by two roadside bombs hidden in a pile of garbage on a highway.
Finally, a parked car bomb went off on a road that marks the intersection between Bayaa and the adjoining neighborhood.
In total, five people were killed in Bayaa, including 2 policemen, and 15 people were injured, including six policemen, police and hospital officials said. They did not have a breakdown of where the deaths occurred.
The officials all spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
About 46,000 American troops remain in bases around Iraq, and they are slated to leave the country by Dec. 31. But as the deadline approaches, many Iraqis are worried about the ability of their own forces to protect the country from the ever-present threat of bombs and shootings.
In the northern city of Kirkuk, police found on Sunday the dead body of a man believed to be in his late 20s, said the neighborhood police chief, Col. Anwar Qadir. The man's hands were tied behind his back and he was killed execution-style with a bullet to the back of his head.
U.S. officials have long worried that Kirkuk could be a flashpoint for violence especially when American forces who help maintain an uneasy peace in the city and province leave Iraq for good. Three main ethnic groups, the Kurds, Arabs and Turkomen, claim the city as their own, and all would like to control the massive deposits of oil found underneath the city and province.


The whole fairy tale was all good, until Hansel and Gretel came in here trying to f*ck sh*t up."
The House of Dolls is the go-to hair and beauty spot in New York City's bustling Dominican neighborhood of Inwood, and newcomers should beware. And just to show you exactly what we mean, here's the first five minutes of the first episode of VH1's Beauty Bar.
In the five minute sneak peek of Beauty Bar, the makeup artists and hair stylists of House of Dolls are fiercely protective of their tight-knit bond. They slay together, party together and prefer the salon's chemistry to remain exactly the way it is. Rell and Princess are the salon's newbies who are having a rough time adjusting to the vicious competition in the city. Vee is the tough-talking colorist who makes it known that they'll have to fight to earn their keep, but will Rell and Princess fold (or wreak havoc in the shop) under pressure?
Check out what Beauty Bar is serving up in the clip above and don't miss the season premiere Wednesday, February 28th at 10/9c.
