Are you really worth $2 million more the day your first two customers write $10,000 checks? No, you're worth $20,000 more. However, both a bad company and a good company can claim that they will sign up two paying customers in the next month. Only the good company can actually show you the checks a month later.
In other words, it is not the value of the two orders that makes you valuable. Rather, these two orders signal that you can generate orders, and it is the signal that is valued. The order isn't any more valuable to your investor than the peacock's tail is to the peahen.
In economics, this is known as "overcoming the problem of asymmetric information through signaling mechanisms." That's why it's much easier to understanding in terms of mating birds, but either way, a few peacock feathers will help you a great deal in raising funds from venture investors.
There is is a bit more about Entrepreneurial Signaling on Google, especially a study from Switzerland that looks at signaling in the labor and credit markets with some empirical data from Germany.


In part three of four in this gamification of learning blog mini-series we're going to cover the types of game format that can be used within an educational context. All of these will likely be familiar to you in another context, but here we'll give useful examples and type them to an educational context. So let's get going!
This format will be familiar to many from computer games such as Mario Kart or even the board game Snakes and Ladders, where competitors race to be the first to a finish line. There is even a race component in the last week's example of Monopoly – although there is no set finish line, players are incentivised to move around the board as they receive money each time they pass the starting point. In a learning environment a race format can be used as learners race to get to the top of a leaderboard, or answer questions as they move across a board to reach the other side.
This dynamic is where players collect or acquire pieces while playing the game, whereby either the player who collects the most pieces is the winner, or the pieces give the player an advantage along the way to achieving another objective. An example of a collect to win game is Pokémon or even a football sticker book. Even games such as the original Mario games have an element of collect to win as collecting coins gives a player an advantage in the form of additional lives. Collect to win can be used effectively in an educational setting by setting up a scenario where players have to collect pieces of information in order to answer a larger question or uncover a mystery. This complements the competence element of self-determination theory of motivation as each piece of the puzzle that a learner uncovers serves as its own miniature reward.
Cluedo is a great example of a game based around mystery and discovery. Players have to move around the board uncovering clues in order to solve a fictitious crime. Mystery and discovery games motivate players as humans do not like open loops or unanswered questions. Players are therefore motivated to play the game and uncover the information needed to close the loop and solve the mystery.
Consider trying to create intrigue from the very start of the game. An example of this could be instead of setting out the learning objective as learning to apply long division, the objective could be "Can you apply long division?" or "The long story of division", depending on your audience.
Strategy games have seen a recent surge in popularity with games such as Grepolis and Clash of Clans available on mobile. In these games players build cities and use strategy and collaboration with other players to turn these cities into empires within the game. Probably the oldest and most well-known strategy game is chess. In chess players have to protect their king whilst simultaneously attacking the other player's pieces, always having to think a number of moves ahead.
The beautifully simple Mine Craft is currently by far the most popular construction and creation game. Players use cuboid blocks to build whatever they wish within a 3D environment. Mine Craft's popularity comes from the way it facilitates players' creativity. Players have built anything from a simple house, to replicas of spaceships and even scale versions of the Taj Mahal; all made one block at a time by players simply to express their creativity.
The construction dynamic can be an effective tool for teaching geometric shapes or could be combined with a reward structure, whereby a series of smaller rewards can be combined together to build something larger that the player would like, in order to add an extrinsic incentive to the learning process. People often like the opportunity to share and show-off what they've built. This can work well to add a social element and motivate learners to discuss the learning process.
This is not an exhaustive list of every type of game dynamic. Additional dynamics such as pattern recognition, as well as off-shoots of those mentioned above such as the escape or allocation dynamics also exist and can be useful in the gamification of learning.
Now you have a list of game formats to apply to your class why not give gamification a try? Next week in the final instalment of the mini-series we'll look at some of the elements that can be integrated across formats and really make gamification an essential teaching tool for you to have in your educator's tool box.

Pistons Need Mike Ilitch More Than Mike Ilitch Needs Pistons
Mike Ilitch's bid to buy the Pistons may be the best chance at keeping the franchise in the state of Michigan.
By Ryan Weiss Aug 14, 2010, 2:10am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Pistons Need Mike Ilitch More Than Mike Ilitch Needs Pistons
Let the worrying begin.
Before most of us could digest the not-so-shocking news that Red Wings and Tigers owner Mike Ilitch wants to add the Detroit Pistons to his collection, two more potential buyers popped up, as our esteemed colleague Brian Packey pointed out yesterday.
The fears of Pistons fans everywhere came to fruition, as an out-of-towner is now said to be in the running to buy the team. George Postolos is a basketball guy by most accounts, but he's has absolutely no commitment to the area, and that is definitely cause for concern.
Ilitch on the other hand has made no secret about his commitment to the city of Detroit and the state of Michigan. Besides owning two of the more successful Detroit sports teams, he also owns Little Caesars Pizza, estimated to be the third largest pizza chain in the United States that operates out of the Fox Theater in Detroit. His wife Marian runs the Motor City Casino, and his subsidiaries control and operate the Fox Theater, Comerica Park and Joe Louis Arena as well as many other smaller companies.
Together, the Ilitches have an estimated worth of about $1.4 billion. They don't need an NBA franchise.
But Pistons owner Karen Davidson needs a buyer. And she's not going to find a better one than Mike and Marian Ilitch.
Postolos and Tom Gores, the other potential candidate mentioned by the Detroit Free Press, can shell out the money to buy the team. They may be even able offer closer to the $1 billion it's going to take for the rights to the Pistons and Palace Sports and Entertainment than Ilitch can. But Postolos and Gores both have risks attached to them. With Ilitch, the only risk is that he might actually put the team back in Detroit.
Gores has never owned a professional franchise before, much less an NBA team. He's got money, $2.2 billion of it to be exact. But money doesn't make a successful owner. Just ask William Clay Ford.
Postolos is a former executive with the Houston Rockets and is a former assistant of NBA commissioner David Stern. He's also a businessman, a stranger to the Detroit area that could move the team to a different market if his pocketbook doesn't add up to his liking.
Then there's Ilitch, the loyal Detroiter who's spent his entire life in Michigan. Ilitch isn't just trying to be a hero here though. He's also being opportunistic.
In 1980, he bought the Red Wings, then known as the "Dead Wings" for $8 million (yes, EIGHT) from Bruce Norris. After rebuilding the franchise and winning four Stanley Cups over the last 30 years, the Red Wings are now one of the most valuable NHL franchises, estimated to be worth around $337 million.
Adjusted for inflation, today's Red Wings would be worth $127 million in 1980. I think it's safe to say he's made his money back.
A similar situation has developed with the Pistons, and Ilitch knows it. The Pistons are coming off their worst season in over a decade, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2000. The franchise is worth $479 million, but with a sagging economy and lack of buyers (until now that is), Ilitch had a real shot at getting the team for under the market value.
On top of all that, Ilitch has a desire to win. The Red Wings have been one of the most successful franchises in all of sports over the past 15 years. The Tigers haven't been as successful, but it hasn't been for lack of trying. Ilitch pumped out a $122 million payroll in 2010, despite losing a ton of money last year on the team.
For Davidson, selling the team to Ilitch makes the most sense. He's already got the experience in running two professional franchises, and isn't afraid to spend money to make them better.
And if you're worried that running three teams might be too taxing, have no fear. Ilitch's son Christopher is the President and CEO of Ilitch Holdings (the parent company that runs all the Ilitches' private holdings), and I would assume be more than capable of running the team if he learned from daddy all these years.
But as with Postolos, there's a concern that Ilitch might move the team, but not out of state. Ilitch wants a new building to replace the quickly deteriorating Joe Louis Arena, and owning the Pistons would provide a big bargaining chip with the city of Detroit. Detroit Mayor Dave Bing, a former Piston himself, also has a soft spot for bringing the Pistons back home to downtown.
With Ilitch, the city would be getting a cooperative business partner as well. Ilitch financed 50 percent of the building of Comerica Park out of his own pocket, which cost $300 million to build.
And let's face it, the Joe is not exactly fan friendly. A renovation may perk up its appearance, but there are only so many things a renovation can do. The entrance stairs can be a nightmare to climb in the dead of winter and the bathroom lines are some of the worst in all of professional sports. If you're fortunate enough to make it into the arena unscathed, good luck trying to get to your seat in the same condition. The section stairs are steep, narrow and made of that cushion-y concrete everyone enjoys to fall down on.
Unfortunately, a return to Detroit could spell doom for the city of Auburn Hills, which lives and dies with the Pistons after the collapse of the auto industry. But should the Red Wings relocate there temporarily while a new arena is being built in Detroit, the city could experience a boom and also give it time to brace itself for when both teams leave.
This is still all speculation at this point. But if Ilitch lands the Pistons, rest assured you can kiss the Palace goodbye.
Selling the team to Ilitch and having him move them back downtown is one thing. Selling them to someone with no local ties and having them move out of state is a completely different monster.
If Davidson sells the team to an out-of-towner and the team moves, she would never be able to set foot in the state of Michigan again. Not only would she endure Clay Bennett-esque treatment from Michiganders, she would tarnish the name of late husband William Davidson, whose Guardian Industries still makes its home in Auburn Hills.
An Ilitch-owned Pistons may be the less profitable route in the end for Davidson. But it's also the smartest route for everyone.


this works on all firmwares, hacked or not hacked switch, Banned or not Banned switch. game updated prefered. Mainly useful to play in community public servers.
-input your made up IP address at the IP address section.
if you have a hacked console and are not banned yet, use 90 DNS to avoid telemetry. 90 DNS settings are "163.172.141.219" for primary and secondary DNS to "45.248.48.62"
-Save and that is it here.
-press enter. it will prompt you to enter your switch's LAN "interface".
Your interface will be the option containing your PCs IP address.
You may get more than one adapters, but In most cases, computer's IP address would be found in the first one. This is the one that connects to the internet and is connected to the router. it will be in the IPv4 section.
In this case interface 5 has the same IP from earlier (computer's IP address). So 5 is the interface that must be chosen. Type 5 and press enter.
if youre having problems with this step you can try different interface numbers until the switch can later on connect to your PCs internet.
4. Connect internet on Console and verify connected to internet fully.
5. Run game. Head to online play. Highlight Wireless Option. Hold (L+R+LStick ) to enable LAN mode.
5. Join room or create room. Creating a new room helps people join your room if your hosting a match.
6. Enjoy Free Online play with friends/people around the world on the same server.

If I may though...I think he is using a cheat! The way things are turning in his favor (missed by a red shell?) and the high speed of bowser are suspicious!
That's just setting up a LAN play, not real online.

Yes, it's only tunelled LAN party. Not online system.
Fortunately it's easy to setup and requires only one open port server side.
Its funny how some people believe just cause Nintendo banned you, your banned from going online, only thing they banned people from, is Nintendo's crap servers, Switch has a wifi chip, Nintendo can't disable it through a software update, it's apart of the device.
Xlink Kai is also another way of doing stuff like this btw, it is how people keep SOCOM on PS2 up and running online but it can be used for other systems.

By real online u mean playin wit nintys official network?
Why use a /16 and not a /24 network then? You could have way more capsuled "channels" that way.

Morgan Stanley agreed to buy Solium Capital Inc.in a bid to add younger clients and tech startups to its stock-plan administration business. Solium also boasts a strong business-to-business salesforce and is a top provider in private company equity administration, all of which is expected to bolster Morgan Stanley's existing offering, the companies say.
Morgan Stanley has been building a comprehensive suite of digital tools that will support expansion within the Workplace Wealth marketplace. As plan participants build their wealth, and their needs become more complex, there is a natural transition to an Advisor-based relationship. The deal is the bank's largest acquisition since the financial crisis.
"As we've said, we'd look to pursue more", Andy Saperstein, co-head of wealth management at Morgan Stanley, said in an interview. The agreement values Solium at about $1.1 billion (US$900 million).
Solium CEO Marcos Lopez will remain with the company and be based in Calgary once the deal closes, which is expected to happen in the second quarter, subject to shareholder and regulatory approval. Davis Polk & Wardwell and Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt served as legal advisers to Morgan Stanley in the transaction.
The Wall Street bank will pay $900m to acquire Solium Capital, which manages the stock that corporate employees receive as part of their pay.

It's time to stop pretending like exercise is the enemy.
I was so encouraged reading the experience of a brand-new over 50 yoga teacher that I thought just maybe I could get these ole bones working for me instead of against me.
When I put the hobby pages together on Hobsess, each follows a formula.
Watch a video to see if you will like this new hobby.
Get a book to learn more.
Here is a guided tour video about the Yoga page on Hobsess.
We all learn in different ways. By now, you probably know if you learn better by seeing, hearing, or doing the task.
To Get Resources – I have included my favorite resources (discussed in the video above) plus some that I want to try. Like Yoga to fight aging and help with weight loss. Oh yeah!
Join an Organization – If you are really going to get involved and go all the way with yoga, join the USA Yoga Federation and get plugged into learning and competition.
Access to Pinterest Board – I have found a lot of yoga resources and pinned them to a Pinterest board. You can follow that board or contribute by contacting me. The more pinners, the better.
If you are interested in making money from yoga, there are several ways.
First of all, you can give private lessons or teach a class to many at one time.
You could also package your yoga practice into a course to sell online. Read Learn to Earn by Giving Lessons and Learn to Earn by Selling an Online Course for more information.
Are you ready to start yoga with me? Let me know in the comments.
Hi Rev I didn't discover Yoga really until this year and I just love it. My P.T. introduced me and sometimes we attend a practice together and other times she gives me a yoga practice as a PT session. It is fabulous especially as we age to keep us flexible. Lovely to read your post and have a great day.

Optics (appearance or look in ancient Greek) is a branch of physics that describes the behavior and properties of light and the interaction of light with matter. Optics explains and is illuminated by optical phenomena.
The field of optics usually describes the behavior of visible, infrared and ultraviolet light; however since light is an electromagnetic wave, analogous phenomena occur in X-rays, microwaves, radio waves, and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. Optics can thus be regarded as a sub-field of electromagnetism. Some optical phenomena depend on the quantum nature of light and as such some areas of optics are also related to quantum mechanics.
Optics, however, as a field is often considered largely separate from the physics community. It has its own identity, societies, and conferences. The pure science aspects of the field are often called Optical Science or Optical Physics. Applied optical sciences are often called optical engineering. Applications of optical enginering related specifically to illumination systems is called illumination engineering. Each of these disciplines tends to be quite different in its applications, technical skills, focus, and professional affiliations.
Because of the wide application of the science of "light" to real-world applications, the area of optical science, and optical engineering tends to be very cross-disiplinary. You will find optical science a part of many related disciplines including electrical engineering, physics, psychology, medicine, and others.

Classical optics
Classical or geometric optics, sometimes called ray optics is the branch of optics that describes light propagation in terms of rays. Rays are bent at the interface between two dissimilar media, and may be curved in a medium in which the refractive index is a function of position. The ray in geometric optics is perpendicular to the wavefront in physical optics.

Optics, branch of physical science dealing with the propagation and behavior of light.
In a general sense, light is that part of the electromagnetic spectrum that extends from X rays to microwaves and includes the radiant energy that produces the sensation of vision (see Electromagnetic Radiation; Energy; Spectrum; X Ray).
In geometrical optics the wave theory of light is ignored and rays are traced through an optical system by applying the laws of reflection and refraction.

Naya Rivera says Glee cast is "taking it day by day
by Jaclyn Brandt
Sep 04, 2013 at 5:34 pm EDT
The Glee cast is back at work filming the new season, but they are doing what they can to remember their friend Cory Monteith.
The cast of Glee, both on the show and in real life, are working to move past the sudden death of Cory Monteith. But life on set of the Fox show is not the same.
Cast member Naya Rivera appears on Latina magazine for their October issue, and discussed moving on from Monteith's death.
"We're definitely taking it day by day," she said, according to E! News. "Everybody's really just leaning on each other and trying to do good work."
Music review: Naya Rivera "Sorry" (snippet) >>
The cast returned less than two weeks ago to film a tribute to Monteith, and his presence is obviously still felt on set. Kevin Reilly with Fox Entertainment said the tribute episode will deal "directly" with Monteith's past, and viewers will be tearing up the entire episode.
Monteith died on July 13 at the age of 31 from a toxicity of heroin and alcohol.
The show doesn't plan an entirely depressing season, and has already dished on a couple of their other story lines. Rivera will be getting a surprise love interest on the show: Demi Lovato.
"There are very few ethnic LGBT characters on television, so I am honored to represent them," Rivera said about the story line. "I love supporting this cause, but it's a big responsibility, and sometimes it's a lot of pressure on me."
VIDEO: Fox pays tribute to Cory Monteith >>
The story line somewhat follows Rivera's personal life — she's in a fairly new relationship as well, with Big Sean. The couple met on Twitter, but want to make sure they don't ever feel they need to keep their relationship private.
"We know so many who are in the public eye dating somebody, and they're going in through back entrances and won't make eye contact with each other," Rivera explained. "That's just not us."
Glee will return for their new season Sept. 26.

Social Media Marketing is Too Important to Let the Intern Do It!
Many small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) are finding themselves overwhelmed and discouraged by social media.
What happened? Wasn't social media supposed to be easy, intuitive, and quickly learnable for SMBs? With all of the recent changes to the algorithms, many SMB owners feel like they don't know which tactics actually drive results on social media anymore.
Many are just giving up. They feel like social takes too much time for the meager results they're producing, so they are delegating responsibility for social media strategy to junior employees or interns, based on the belief that "Digital Natives" will better understand how to get followers and engagement.
Bad idea. Social media is a critical part of any marketing plan, and with more emails delivered to Spam or deleted, unread, it's more important than ever.
You need a strategy. You need to be on the right platforms and posting at the right times. But most importantly, you need visual content. The desktop computing era is waning, and your customers are spending more time each day on social media on their mobile devices. These platforms all run on photos, videos, GIFs, and other vivid visuals.
But never fear if you're not a pro photographer or digital artist. Here are 5 simple tools to help anyone produce more, better visual content to keep your audiences growing and engaging. This is the best way to stay connected to your customers in 2018.
GIMP: GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) is a free, open source image editor, available for Windows, OS X and other operating systems. GIMP gives you the ability to do Photoshop-level editing of images, with mostly similar capabilities to Photoshop, but it's free! Social media is getting more "visual" all the time, and images get some of the highest engagement rates on Facebook. This means that your business should invest some time in creating unique visual content that is specific to your business, brand and key messages. GIMP can help you do this, without having to spend money on professional editing features that you don't need.
PicsArt: What if you want to make great photos and images for social media while you're on the go, without all the features of a desktop solution like GIMP? Use PicsArt – a mobile app that lets you create amazing photo art on iPhone or Android. There are lots of ways to use this app to make your visual content look better – from basic touch-ups to fun filters, to really fascinating and beautiful photo creations. Be sure to dig into the Effects to make cool art quickly. PicsArt can help you create professional looking visual content to represent your business on social media, much faster than you might expect.
Timehop: Everything old is new again on social media! Many small businesses are getting good results by resurfacing older posts. Is your business participating in #throwbackthursday or #tbt on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram? If not, you should! Timehop is a great tool for this it resurfaces older posts from past years. People think that social media is all about the new hotness, but the most emotionally resonant content is nostalgic in nature. Timehop can help you recycle old posts on social media and drive engagement – such as reminding your customers of fun photos from last summer's special events, or re-sharing some customer-generated content (like a photo contest involving your business). Timehop is a great way to reinforce the emotional connections that you have with your customers.
Easil: Visual content for social media is more than just photos. What if you need custom flyers, banners, infographics, event invitations, or specially sized images that suit the specifications of the social media platforms? Try Easil! This tool is more than just a photo editor; it's a DIY drag-and-drop graphic design secret weapon. Easil is a fast and easy tool to build graphics and templates for anything you need; it can help you save time and look sharp on social media without having to budget for professional graphic design.
Giphy: All businesses should incorporate GIFs into their consumer marketing communications these days. GIFs are short, silent animated graphics, such as tiny clips from movies; they are popular on social media as a way to react to posts in a humorous or exuberant fashion, and their strong visual impact (they're almost as powerful as videos, but without the bandwidth and time commitment) tends to drive strong engagement on social media. Giphy is a great tool that helps you find and create GIF animations.
Sensai: Why has marketing on social media has become so hard? It's largely because today there are so many variables that must be managed in order to achieve success, making it virtually impossible for any one person to keep up with it all. What if you could find a tool that uses the power of AI to help you stay better organized and get smarter about marketing on social. That's where Sensai comes in. Its AI technology constantly analyzes your social media actions – on a post-by-post basis – and provides specific recommendations to help improve your performance (customers who put this personalized guidance into action saw their follower growth accelerate by 129% on average).
Don't assume that social doesn't work anymore, or that it's not a good use of time – you might just need to adjust your social media strategy. Get more visual. Think more strategically about what kind of visual content you can create and share. Maximize your back catalog of older posts and happy memories. With a few adjustments, your business will have a more visually appealing social media presence in no time.
Eric Meyerson is Head of Marketing for Sensai, a new startup that gives businesses, creators, and artists the power to transform their online influence with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Eric is an industry veteran in social media, marketing, and consumer technology, and a former marketing leader at Facebook and YouTube.

New mobile app look and feel
By AgriWebb
This month we are refreshing the look and feel of the mobile app. Everything that you know and love is still there, but we have given it a shiny new coat of paint as well as much more to get excited about!
Our motivation
This is an important place to start.
We have received lots of feedback on the mobile app over the last few years, through onboarding sessions, farm visits, field days and user group meet-ups. We have witnessed first-hand the challenging environments in which the app gets used and this has greatly influenced the design of the app.
We also feel it is really important to have a consistent look and feel across all of the AgriWebb apps. Through this project, we have made a concerted effort to build consistent patterns of usage and common reference points on both the desktop and mobile apps. For example, we use the same icons for navigation and records items.
Our goal was simple
We had it in our mind that we could simply update the colours to match the portal app and we would be done. Though, as we stepped through the many pain points customers had shared with us, it was obvious that more had to be done. From the basic idea that buttons, tabs and labels should be larger and easier to tap, through to the visual replacement of all icons to make them clear and obvious, we assessed every single page of the app to review its core purpose, layout and structure to make it easier and more intuitive.
One restriction we placed on the project was that no existing feature could be removed or greatly altered. The way you navigate around the app, create records and manage inventory would not be changed significantly. We wanted to ensure that users who were familiar with moving mobs and applying treatments in the older user interface (UI) would know how to do it in the new look and feel.
What did we do?
The first step was to strip back the mobile app's styling and apply the more modern desktop look and feel. Our Designer, Emily, then created mock-ups of the major areas of the app with that new style. That was nearly 100 screens! We then took those mock-ups, loaded them onto phones and tablets and went outside, in the full sun. We reviewed the screens, argued about them, moved things around, tried variations and worked to define a common set of screen elements, layouts and behaviours.
Parts of the new design philosophy were incorporated into feature development we had in progress and released early. Open gate, the updated weather forecast widget and the landmark dialog were all released with aspects of the new look and feel weaved through them.
Releasing these new design elements early allowed us to test them in the field and gain early feedback. This helped shape the look and feel for the project and led us to refine many of the designs.
We received great feedback on the design for those features, so the next step was to implement them across the rest of the app. Shipping great products is hard, and taking something as complicated as farming and keeping it easy to use and intuitive can be amazingly difficult. For every update, we would scrutinise the final app changes and tweak them. For example, we moved buttons around to make them easier to reach with one hand and placed the field labels inside the new number pad to make it easier to know what was being edited.
All 110 icons were replaced with brighter and clearer images to make it more obvious what they are.
The help screens were revamped to make them easier to read, and a consistent layout to records, mob, paddock and tasks pages were created to make the app feel familiar regardless of where you are.
At its most basic, every page is laid out the same way:
The top navigation bar tells you where you are.
You close or go back a page from the top left-hand corner of the screen when applicable.
In-page help is launched from the top right-hand corner, and you can message our Farm Success team from any help page by tapping on the "CHAT" action in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
The actions that can be performed on the current page are always displayed on the bottom of the screen and if there are a lot of actions that can be performed, pressing the "More" button on the right will show all of the options.
Drop-down fields all have arrows pointing down Navigation to new pages is shown with bold blue links or with arrows pointing to the right.
With these common behaviours, we hope to make it easier to get around the app and use the many features contained within it. Hopefully, we have squashed all of the inconsistencies, but if you find any please send us a message and let us know.
While our goal was to keep the same core behaviour we didn't ignore opportunities to improve the app. Here are just a few stand out changes.
Adding notes
Adding notes to a record, mob or landmark is a commonly used feature of the app. The new note dialog looks great on phone or tablet and will now open the keyboard immediately so that adding them is quick and easy. We also have room for future enhancements like adding photos.
All mob events in one place
With the Mob Activity Log it's easy to keep track of everything that has been happening on farm. You can see everything that has been recorded from one central place and go directly to the mob or record from the event list. Filter the list by event grouping to see just the records you're interested in.
Tasks received a facelift as well. All the important information is presented in a clearer layout and you can see at a glance who the task is assigned to without having to open it.
This is the easiest question to answer of all. In many ways, it is up to you.
Big, visible changes like these give us a good excuse to reach out and remind everyone that we want to hear from you. What do you love and hate? What would you like to see added to the app and what do you wish was easier?
Your feedback is vital and can make a positive difference to the thousands of farmers using AgriWebb every day and help us to realise our goal to deliver the digital future of agriculture!

"We just aren't getting answers" Family of Teutopolis woman missing after plane crash works through bureaucracy during search
by: Tim Ditman
PANAMA (WCIA) — They're losing hope on multiple fronts but trying to remember the good times: the family of a Teutopolis woman presumed dead after a plane crash off the coast of Panama continues to plead for outside help.
Sue Borries was a longtime school teacher in Teutopolis. She and her husband moved to Panama nearly a year ago. The woman's son Brandon, along with other family members, are in Panama helping with the search for Borries' body. Brandon recounted what authorities believe happened, saying Sue and her husband took a small plane to an island to celebrate the new year. On January 3, the husband took an early flight back to Panama, and Sue took a second flight. That flight had engine trouble, went down in the water, and sank. Three people were rescued, while Borries and another person were not found.
Photos of Sue Borries and family (provided by Brandon Borries)
Brandon Borries told our newsroom that authorities in Panama don't have the resources to do a thorough search. He said the family has reached out to the U.S Coast Guard and were told it could not get resources to Panama in time. Borries said pleas to the U.S. Department of Defense have gone unanswered.
"We need a third party involved. We just need the American government to get on board with that if they're not going to help us," Brandon Borries said. "We just want to be mourning and grieving as a family the way we should be instead of making a million phone calls."
Brandon Borries speaks to WCIA from Panama via Zoom
Borries said the family has reached out to several state and federal lawmakers. He said Senator Dick Durbin's office, in particular, has been responsive.
"Our staff has had a number of conversations with both [the State Department] and [the United States Southern Command], and are we urging for continued U.S. government assistance, both directly to the family as well as to help the Panamanian government, which requested assistance in locating the fuselage," said Durbin spokesperson Erica Schroeder in a statement.
In the meantime, Brandon Borries said his family is trying to remember his mom's "true lust for life." Borries said since moving to Panama, the woman became involved at a church, teaching English at a school, and playing pickleball.


I was struggling away, inking the actual comic you were supposed to see today, after fighting with my tablet for hours and hours–it keeps working fine then abruptly deciding it's never met my computer before, so I have to stop and unplug and replug it like 25 times until it remembers–and I finally gave up. I should have a tablet I can borrow in the short term, so I'll be back with regular comics on Tuesday, and then I'll do my best to actually buy a new one soon enough too.
In the meantime, please enjoy this garbage comic eulogy that I drew with my laptop touchpad.

Q: Create multiple plots from multiple dataframes (not ggplot) in r Hello, I have a large dataframe which I split following the next code:
DF2 <- split(df, df$Species)
        new_names <- as.character(unique(df$Species))
    for (i in 1:length(DF2)) {
      assign(new_names[i], DF2[[i]])
    }

Giving me many dataframes with each having the same starting letters DF2Fish-XX with the XX being the unique species:
Now I want to have a loop function to create multiple plots using the following code to  for each Species (unique dataframe):
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
DF2Plot <- function(index){plot(DF2Fish-XX[,index] ~ DF2Fish-XX$Year,
                          main=names(DF2Fish-XX[index]), xlab= "Years",
                          ylab = "Trophic position", type="b", xlim=range(1930:2020), ylim=range(2:5))}
lapply(2:5, FUN= DF2Plot)

Is there a way to have the second part of the script (creating the plot) in a loop for each unique species/dataframe created in the first part of code?
Any help is welcome.
Thanks in advance!

A: I'll demonstrate using iris.
irisL <- split(iris, iris$Species)
names(irisL)
# [1] "setosa"     "versicolor" "virginica"
par(mfrow = c(2, 2))
for (nm in names(irisL)) {
  plot(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width, data=irisL[[nm]], main=nm)
}

If your list of frames is not named, then you can index this way:
for (ind in seq_along(irisL)) {
  # ...
}

though you will need a direct way to infer the name (perhaps as.character(irisL[[ind]]$Species[1])).

Psychiatric sickness absence was affected by social support at home and at work
Steven J Linton, PhD
Örebro Medical Center Örebro, Sweden
Stansfeld SA, Rael EGS, Head J, et al. Social support and psychiatric sickness absence: a prospective study of British civil servants. Psychol Med 1997 Jan; 27 : 35 –48 OpenUrlCrossRefPubMedWeb of Science
To determine the effect of home and work related chronic stressors and social support on psychiatric sickness absence.
Cohort study with 5 year follow up.
Civil service in London, England.
10 308 London based civil servants between 35 and 55 years of age (70% men) who worked in 20 non-industrial departments, completed questionnaires and had a physical examination. Analysis was done on 4202 participants (41%) for whom the reason for sickness absence was available.
Social support (confiding and emotional, practical, and negative aspects) received from the person nominated by the participant as the closest to them was assessed using the Close Persons Questionnaire. Work social support was assessed by questions relating to feedback support from colleagues and supervisors and clarity and consistency of information from supervisors. Material problems were assessed using Pearlin's scale of chronic stressors.
Rates of short and long periods of psychiatric sickness absence per 100 person years, calculated separately for men and women.
High levels of negative social support from the closest person were associated with higher rates of sickness absence in men. The rate ratios (RRs) for the effect of high levels of negative support in men were 1.30, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.64 for short absences and 2.52, CI 1.48 to 4.30 for long absences. The effect was not as clear in women. Confiding and emotional support was associated with higher rates of longer absences in women (RR 1.76, CI 1.11 to 2.79) while medium levels of practical support were associated with lower rates of long absences in men (RR 0.57, CI 0.33 to 0.98). Work social support was associated with lower rates of short absences in men and women (RR 0.73, CI 0.58 to 0.93 and 0.62, CI 0.49 to 0.80, respectively). The highest level of material problems was associated with increased rates of short and long absences in men (RR 1.44, CI 1.15 to 1.81 and 1.99, CI 1.22 to 3.22, respectively) and increased short absences in women (RR 1.45, CI 1.12 to 1.88).
Negative aspects of social support and material problems increased psychiatric sickness absence. High levels of support at work were protective against short absences.
This useful study by Stansfeld et al provides relatively strong information about the effects of social support on psychiatric sickness absence. The authors included measures of various types of support and separated the results for men and women. The outcome measure was objective and verified in certain cases by contact with doctors. Consequently, although psychiatric sickness absence may not be frequent, compared with many physical health problems, it is clearly linked to social support.
Interestingly, negative support was shown to be linked to long absences in men, while confiding and emotional support were associated with increasingly long absences in women. These results show the importance of viewing the role of social support for men and women in a somewhat different light in clinical situations. A central finding is that positive social support at work has a preventive effect on short term absences. This lends credence to a number of theoretical views, one of which is that stress at work may be mediated by social support. Above all, this finding has marked implications because social support at work may be amenable to interventions. Indeed, improving social support may be more practically achievable than changing other factors and the work setting may be an opportune place compared with other settings in which access and change are more difficult.
This study also highlights the complex way that various forms of positive and negative social support may promote or protect from psychiatric sick leave. For example, distinctions between negative and positive support by sex allow us to better understand how support works while at the same time they show that many factors determine the effect of social support. Clinically, these findings suggest that social support is important and should probably be routinely assessed. Above all, the results underscore the need for clearer understanding of the mechanisms of social support at work because large differences were noted between types of support and sex. However, many of the ratios are rather small, and the results show that social support is but one part of a very complex outcome, namely psychiatric sickness absence.

Q: Problem running Java programs in Visual Studio Code I'm trying to make Java programs work on Visual Studio Code. I've downloaded the Microsoft extension, downloaded the JKE from Oracle, and now I'm trying to run the proverbial "Hello World" Java program to make sure it works. Here is my program (I got it from the "Get Started" tutorial so it should be fine):
class QuickStart {
    public static void main(final String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello, World.");
    }
}

Here's what happens when I run it:
(my files)>  cd 'c:\Users\Janet\Documents\Matthew's Homeschooling\VSC Programs\APCSA'; &
'c:\Users\Janet\.vscode\extensions\vscjava.vscode-java-debug-0.28.0\scripts\launcher.bat' 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-14.0.2\bin\java.exe' '--enable-preview' '-XX:+ShowCodeDetailsInExceptionMessages' '-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8' '-cp' 'C:\Users\Janet\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\workspaceStorage\5eda06847dc66aa5b01dbd290d4e0d18\redhat.java\jdt_ws\APCSA_a6725e29\bin' 'QuickStart'
>>

As you can see, it enters some weird shell. Then when I try running it again, I get this error:
>>  cd 'c:\Users\Janet\Documents\Matthew's Homeschooling\VSC Programs\APCSA'; & 'c:\Users\Janet\.vscode\extensions\vscjava.vscode-java-debug-0.28.0\scripts\launcher.bat' 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-14.0.2\bin\java.exe' '--enable-preview' '-XX:+ShowCodeDetailsInExceptionMessages' '-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8' '-cp' 'C:\Users\Janet\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\workspaceStorage\5eda06847dc66aa5b01dbd290d4e0d18\redhat.java\jdt_ws\APCSA_a6725e29\bin' 'QuickStart'
Set-Location : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 's'.
At line:1 char:2
+  cd 'c:\Users\Janet\Documents\Matthew's Homeschooling\VSC Programs\AP ...
+  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-Location], ParameterBindingException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetLocationCommand

Hello, World.

So it does print out "Hello World.", but it spits out an error and I have to run it twice. How can I run my Java program without errors by running it once?

A: The answer to this problem is to double check, nay, triple check your file names. The problem is that with Visual Studio Code's way of running programs (that is hitting the run button), any ' can cause serious problems. This is due to the fact that VS Code uses ' to quote file paths. Thanks to Eliott Frisch for pointing this out to me.
There are two possible solutions to this:

*

*Change your folder name to remove the problematic character. In my case, however, my folder was running programs so I couldn't do that. This leads me to...

*Create a new folder and move your programs there. This is, in my opinion, the best solution since you generally want a separate folder for your programs anyway.
Note that this is especially important for Java programs, since in Visual Studio Code you can't run Java programs with java name.java. Similarly, this is not important for Python programs, since those can be run with python name.py and therefore don't require any file names.

Livraria Lello: The Harry Potter Library in Porto — Is It Worth It?
Last Updated: February 26, 2022 · Portugal
What does a library in Porto and Harry Potter have in common? Umm.. have you SEEN photos of the Livraria Lello in Porto yet? From its red, spiraling staircase to its stained glass window and neo-Gothic architecture, this bookshop just oozes magical Hogwarts and Harry Potter vibes! ⚡
The view upon entering the Lello Library!
While I couldn't find any official statement from JK Rowling herself on the resemblance between the Hogwarts Library and the Lello Library, she did live here in Porto for several years and was known to visit both Livraria Lello and Majestic Café, where it's rumored that she wrote the very first words of the books we all know and obsess over today.
In this short and sweet guide, I'm going to take you on a little peek inside the now-famous Livraria Lello. As one of the top things to do in Porto, I'll share my top tips on how you can visit this magical bookshop, often honored with the title of being the "prettiest library in the world."
Guide to Lello Library — the Harry Potter Bookstore
Livraria Lello — Visiting Hours & Entrance Ticket
Secrets to Know About Livraria Lello
So… Is Visiting the Harry Potter Bookshop in Porto Worth It?
The view from atop the crimson staircase inside Livraria Lello
While Porto has many cute "livrarias" or libraries, arguably none enchant its visitor more than the Livraria Lello. However, because of this, and especially because of its connection with JK Rowling and the Hogwarts Library in Harry Potter, it has become somewhat a victim of its own success!
Gone are the days when you could simply waltz inside the Lello Library and silently browse through its collection. Nowadays, you need a ticket voucher to enter; purchase yours online at Livraria Lello's website in advance for €5 or pay €6 on arrival in the queue.
Tip: A regular (€5) ticket voucher is discountable on the purchase of a book. If you buy a priority ticket voucher (€15,90–€17,90), you'll get priority entrance to the library before everyone else and it includes the purchase of a book (the one marked on your ticket voucher–so choose wisely!)
Currently, the books you can purchase with the priority ticket voucher include editions of classics produced by Livraria Lello: The Jungle Book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Los Lusiadas, The Art of War, and Sonnets. Check back on their website as they may rotate out which books are available with the ticket. The prices of the books that I picked up, such as Alice in Wonderland, cost around €16 without the voucher.
Children under 3 years old enter free, but you still need to add their ticket voucher to your cart when booking online.
To be the very first in line at Lello Library, you need to show up at its doors even before it officially opens at 9:30 am (every day hours are 9:30 am to 7:00 pm).
It's better to go on a weekday rather than a busy weekend. For reference, I went off-season, in mid-January on a Wednesday, and was the first out of 10–15 people in the library. I quickly took my photos and videos first before the crowds arrived not even twenty minutes later.
Livraria Lello has many secrets hidden in plain sight, starting with their royal, crimson spiraling staircase.
Although it gives off the look of real wood, it's in fact all reinforced concrete and painted plaster. (Gasp, I know!) And in summer 2021, they painted over the red in yellow and gray, in collaboration with Pantone's colors of the year — "Illuminating" and "Ultimate Grey."
You can find other traces of Livraria Lello's history by keeping a curious eye open. On the ground floor, for example, you'll see trolley tracks that were leftover from the building's publishing era (1906–the 1990s).
The current trolley cart is a replica of the original and is on display in the back left corner of the library, where you'll also find the Harry Potter books in English and the Sorting Hat perched on the top shelf.
Also to your left on the ground floor is the Face of Porto installation in the upper glass windows. These clay busts and faces represent over 400 figures important to Portugal's culture.
Up the majestic and iconic staircase, you'll find thousands of books and likely a temporary exhibition or artistic installation. When I toured, they were showcasing "Livraria Lello X Time: What Makes A Nobel?" with a room dedicated to José Saramago who was the only Portuguese-language writer to have won a Nobel Prize for Literature.
As if that wasn't enough, the library also boasts the Gemma Room, which holds the bookshop's most rare and unique collections of works. (It was closed when I went.)
Before you go, don't forget to look up!
The stained glass window adorning the ceiling is just stunning. In its center, you can spot the motto "Decus in Labore" (meaning "Dignity in Work").
Yes — Livraria Lello is definitely worth visiting; especially if you are a Harry Potter fan, you'll love it! 🪄
And even if you don't consider yourself a part of the fandom, you can still appreciate the bookshop for its absolutely stunning architecture, artistic exhibits, and its historical and cultural significance to Porto and the Portuguese.
Lastly, if you want to follow in the footsteps of JK Rowling in Porto, you should head to Café Majestic right after your visit for brunch or tea service with a warm pastéis de nata!
I did, and even if it was overpriced, it was definitely worth it.

Q: Insert data into SQL Server from stored procedure My knowledge in SQL not so far, please help me with my issue:
I have a script that generates some data. I need to insert this data into a table with following structure:
Variable_Sample (idsample, idvariable, value), idsample and idvariable - PK.

Here is the script:
Declare params cursor for
 Select distinct id_variable from [UIR_DB].[dbo].[Variable_Values]
open params
Declare @idparam int
Declare @csql nvarchar(max)  = ''
Declare @csql2 nvarchar(max)  = ''
Declare @i int = 1
fetch next from params into @idparam
while @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
begin
Select @csql2 = @csql2 + ', param' +LTrim(Str(@i))
Select @csql = @csql +  ' (Select value as param'+LTrim(Str(@i))+' from [UIR_DB].[dbo].[Variable_Values] where id_variable = '+LTrim(Str(@idparam))+') a'+LTrim(Str(@i))+' cross join'
Set @i = @i+1
fetch next from params into @idparam
end
Select @csql = '
SELECT id, CAST(SubString(Param,6,LEN(Param)-5) as int) param_id, param_val
FROM
(Select ROW_Number() over(order by '+SubString(@csql2,2,LEN(@csql2)-1)+') id, '+SubString(@csql2,2,LEN(@csql2)-1)+' from '+SubString(@csql,1,LEN(@csql)-11) + ') p
UNPIVOT
   (param_val FOR Param IN
      ('+SubString(@csql2,2,LEN(@csql2)-1)+')
)AS unpvt
'

print @csql
exec sp_executesql @csql
close params
deallocate params

Here is script result:
.
So I need to put script result into table Variable_Sample(idsample, idvariable, value), where (idsample, idvariable) are the primary key of the table.

A: You can add this to the end of the script, instead of the EXEC sp_executesql @csql:
CREATE TABLE #temptable (idsample INT, idvariable INT, value INT)
INSERT INTO #temptable EXEC @csql

SELECT idsample, idvariable, value FROM #temptable

DROP TABLE #temptable

A: I think all you need to is:
Add an insert to @csql
e.g.
Insert into variable_sample(idsample, idvariable, value)
SELECT id, CAST(SubString(Param,6,LEN(Param)-5) as int) param_id, param_val
FROM
(Select ROW_Number() over(order by '+SubString(@csql2,2,LEN(@csql2)-1)+') id, '+SubString(@csql2,2,LEN(@csql2)-1)+' from '+SubString(@csql,1,LEN(@csql)-11) + ') p
UNPIVOT
   (param_val FOR Param IN
      ('+SubString(@csql2,2,LEN(@csql2)-1)+')
)AS unpvt

That's assuming that table already exsists.

This may sound to good to be true? It's not. From my own experience I can confirm 100% of what you said. Sure, the work is on you and nobody will do that for you. But you can be sure to get the best training, support, community – you name it, to start out in affiliate marketing. WA not only makes no up-sell, they actually provide a down-sell with their 1-year membership which comes for a special price.
The biggest issue I've had with previous training programs and marketing communities is how outdated they get. With a Wealthy Affiliate Premium membership, you don't need to worry about that. New trainings are added daily including live weekly video training sessions. You can also search and browse past trainings they've created over the years. With a premium membership, you also get unlimited access to community features which is one of my favorite aspects of Wealthy Affiliate. I spend hours per day simply chatting and messaging people who clicked on my Wealthy Affiliate affiliate link. When they use my link to sign up, I get notified, and the personal one-on-one coaching can begin. No other platform has offered this option before.
Yes! Wealthy Affiliate is most certainly an evolving affiliate marketing platform and even if you were away for a few months, you would likely notice a vast number of improvements. This is why it is the most trusted and recommended program in the industry for both aspiring and successful affiliate marketers, because they actually evolve and innovate frequently.
Is this because WP is now blocking outside adds on free accounts? WP recent advised users that ads may appear on free accounts. I saw that WP has a plugin just for Amazon posts, but any plugin requires a business account. In looking at the pay-to-play WP account details, it looks like one has to buy the second level account in order to "monetize your website".
ClickBank allows you to join for free, and the approval process is virtually automatic, so it's a great choice for people entering the affiliated game for the first time. ClickBank has a ton of information, including FAQs, walk-throughs, and videos available, so the barrier to entry is quite low. There's also a (paid) program called ClickBank University with courses and assistance from experienced marketers.
