For some brands, tweens are an extremely valuable demographic. Tweens are defined as being 8 to 12 years olds, in essence, the "in-between" years between being a child and a teenager. According to the U.S. Census, the tween population is projected to hit 23 million by 2020; and the tween segment is growing.
But engaging tweens online is often challenging for advertisers. For instance, many parents limit tweens' access to the Web. Sites like Facebook, Pinterest and YouTube require users to be at least 13 years old. And, under the law, websites aren't allowed to collect personal information on tweens (i.e. for ad targeting) without parental consent. However, brands have many opportunities to engage online tweens to start building brand loyalty prior to tweens' adult years. The key for brands is to understand exactly how tweens want to participate across platforms and how they engage with their ecosystem of peers and branded content.
Tweens are constantly seeking new places to connect with friends. These places include parent-approved social networking sites like Everloop, content creation sites like FashionPlaytes.com (where girls can design clothes with their friends) and video-sharing sites like KidzVuz. Haul videos—where people show off what they've recently purchased—are also popular among young people. However, keep in mind that users must be 13 or older to join and upload videos to YouTube.
In addition to social networking, tweens are big online gamers. According to Mashable, half of girls aged 8 to 12 use the Web for entertainment and social gaming. Tweens spent 38 minutes/month gaming in 2011 vs. 78 minutes/month in Q1 2012.
Additionally, Performics has seen that brands that have younger demographics have greater success driving mobile transactions/revenue because of higher usage of SMS and mobile search.
Educate & Study the Market: First, always be mindful of complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Discover how best to reach your tweens by researching what media they respond to, what products they're drawn to and what messages they'll listen to. Know where they spend time—from parks to concerts to malls; plan your marketing efforts in places where your participant already is and is most likely to be influenced.
Encourage & Enable Sharing: We've seen that tweens want to connect/chat with friends, share with friends and talk about what they like online. Brands should embrace this behavior by encouraging the sharing of appropriate content, video and dialogue on their sites. Enable comment/reviewing capabilities that don't require tweens to log in to Facebook or register due to legalities around collecting data from tweens. Additionally, brands should create a safe collaboration environment, much like Everloop, which bars bullying and encourages users—for their own protection—not to use their real names while connecting with friends. Aside from connecting with friends, tweens also like connecting with brands. Consider running promotions where tweens can participate with your brand—like submitting photos to be your brand's next model.
Provide Experiences, Not Transactions: Whether you're doing contests, product testing or product promotion, it's important to provide an atmosphere that encourages fun. With online gaming being of particular interest, avatars and virtual worlds provide a desirable experience for digital tweens. Brands should consider creating games within their owned channels—including desktop and mobile websites and mobile/tablet apps—like quizzes, dress-up/make-up games or cooking games. Enabling these experiences across screens and platforms is especially relevant as tweens look to be entertained during long car or plane rides. And because young people are likely to buy through mobile, providing a streamlined experience on mobile devices is a must.
Make It Personal & Customized: Tweens seek out unique, customized experiences for themselves and their friends. Brands should enable the co-creation of images and content, while encouraging tweens to share and spread their creations to their fellow peers and to their parents for a potential purchase.
Appeal to Parents, Too: Engaging tweens often means engaging their parents, too. Appeal to both by offering cool products at reasonable prices or by utilizing coupons and discounts.
These strategies can connect your brand to tweens, impacting brand awareness, consideration, perception and loyalty. Through sharing platforms, games and custom apps, your brand can also inspire tweens to spread positivity about your brand to their friends. Your brand will then be top-of-mind when tweens spend their own money, as well as when they tell their parents what they want. You'll also build loyalty, and when tweens reach the age where they can join Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and YouTube, they'll be likely to advocate for your brand.

The 'Unfinished Business' of Caring
December 14, 2016 /0 Comments/in Knowledge /by Jane Gotts
In recent months, we have seen a renewed focus on the issue of pregnancy and maternity in the workplace and the growing acceptance of the business case for supporting pregnancy and maternity rights at work. Despite this progress, a review by the Equality and Human Rights Commission into pregnancy and maternity in Britain, revealed that high levels of discrimination still exist in both the private and public sector. This report identified that not only can pregnancy and maternity impact the earnings of many women it can also potentially damage their future career progression.
The TUC estimate that around 25% of women do not return to work after maternity leave, and one in six of mums who do go back change jobs because their employer will not allow them to work reduced or flexible hours. And when women do return to work, the Institute for Fiscal Studies estimates that, on average, for a woman a pay gap of 10% exists even before the arrival of a first child. There is then a gradual increase in this gap, until the first child is twelve years old, when it is likely a women's hourly wage will be a third below a man's.
Whilst it is important to focus on areas of discrimination that still exist linked to pregnancy and maternity rights and to ensure that we collectively work to reduce inequality in the workplace and within roles, this work also highlights a wider issue operating in our society that we need to address. And that is in terms of how we treat and view not just expectant mothers but others who undertake caring roles in our society.
The majority of paid and unpaid childcare is undertaken by women, and is viewed and valued as low status work. Historically, occupations that are undertaken mainly by women or have been "feminised" are characterised by low pay and are perceived as having low economic value in comparison to work undertaken predominately by men. Anne Marie Slaughter, Hilary Clinton's former policy chief, in her book "Unfinished Business" argues that to drive change across society we need to stop viewing caring as a "women's issue". She talks about building an infrastructure of care, around the notion that "If family comes first, work does not come second. Life comes together", where caregiving rather than seen as a business cost, is viewed as an asset by businesses and organisations allowing many women to be their most productive in the workplace.
To achieve this, we need to broaden the national conversation to consider changing current childcare attitudes, the level of financial support for shared parental leave and the role that men can and should play in care provision. In Norway over 70% of fathers currently take more than 5 weeks' paternity leave, whilst in the UK we still have a stigma that prevents many fathers or partners from playing a more active role in early parenting and which has led to a woeful uptake by men of shared parental leave.
We also need to consider the support and encouragement we give to home based work, allowing more parents to set up businesses, work from home, or to study or learn new skills whilst undertaking childcare. And we also need to address the growing "hidden" caring burden, increasingly being carried by many women in support of elderly relatives or parents, and ensure that we are not creating a new "covering" syndrome, linked to ageing.
The introduction of pay gap reporting in 2017, will shine a spotlight on earnings inequity across sectors and within organisations. However, we won't get near to closing the gender pay gap until we also take action to address the low economic value we attach to caring roles, recognise the contribution of caregiving to the formal and informal economy and invest in it accordingly. Anne Marie Slaughter sets out a vision for the caring economy in the United States, but her focus on the "unfinished" business of how we value and integrate caregiving into our workplaces and society is universal.

Q: From regular expression to a correct UI validation error We use a service that sends a list of fields required for a booking (of something..).
The output looks like :

*

*Field_1
Validation: [-\s/0-9A-Z]{1,105}

*Field_2
etc..

On the UI we would like to map it to English text (or other languages, but let's assume English now).
The UI validation error would be:

"Please enter a valid format : Alphabetical characters and/or space from 1 to 105"

The idea would be to translate any regex into text..
I wanted to know, if this has already been tackled before?

How Can the Element of Direct Communication Be Established ?
In Stata v. Village of Waterford (225 A.D.2d 163, 649 N.Y.S.2d 232 [3rd Dept. 1996]), it was held that a husband's communication on behalf of his deceased wife, who died in a fire, was sufficient to establish the element of direct communication. "Here, plaintiffs version of the facts establishes that he made direct contact with and communicated the urgency of decedent's situation to the firefighters as well as the need for their immediate assistance, which they allegedly failed to provide. A reasonable inference therefore can be made that this contact was made in decedent's interest and on her behalf for the sole purpose of assuring her protection and effecting her rescue, especially since she was totally helpless." See also, Thomas v. City of Auburn, 217 A.D.2d 934, 629 N.Y.S.2d 585 (4th Dept. 1995), leave denied, 1995 WL 582125 (4th Dept. 1995), in which a promise of protection was made by police officers to Reddick, a bartender, after an altercation in the bar; Reddick then conveyed that promise to two patrons, Thomas and Tillman, who were inside the bar when the assurance of protection was made. The Court held that the promise of protection extended to all three men, since the circumstances were such that the officer who gave the assurance to one of the victims knew, or should have known that it would be conveyed to Thomas and Tillman. The Court noted that the police did have some direct contact with Thomas and Tillman, who were physically present in the area to be protected, and that their interests in receiving protection were the same as that of the bartender, with whom a "special relationship" clearly existed.

"Heisenberg"— Intriguing Tango for Two, at ACT, S.F.
March 23, 2018 Kim Waldron
Simon Stephens' Science of the Human Heart
by Kim Waldron
Riding on the London subway, a young woman impulsively kisses a much older man on the neck.
Can he trust her?
Can we trust them?
Simon Stephen's "Heisenberg" has just two characters, Alex and Georgie, opposites in every way. They embark on an affair, a romance, but maybe one is a con artist—or maybe all of that. And more.
James Carpenter (Alex) and Sarah Grace Wilson (Georgie)
At 75, patient Alex (James Carpenter) works as a butcher, an Irish immigrant living in solitude in London. Alex is an intelligent man who hides his erudition, who wants to retire from his failing business. Georgie (Sarah Grace Wilson), 42, an American immigrant, describes herself as "Possibly winsome, maybe psychotic." Yes, and the most honest liar you will ever meet.
For all their differences, they share both a propensity to swear, and histories of loss and need.
Early on Georgie asks Alex: "Do you find me exhausting but captivating?" Well, who would not? Sarah Grace Wilson's Georgie is frenetic, self-contradicting, tactless—yet appealing. To make that work and be believable is extraordinary, but Wilson aces it.
James Carpenter, Sarah Grace Wilson. All photos by Kevin Berne
Georgie and Alex's words are often funny, always smart, but again and again the space between the words expresses as much. Carpenter must be the world master of the gaze that holds meaning, what can't be said is nonetheless known: life is unfolding so pay attention.
Georgie surprises Alex with insults and lies. Alex surprises Georgie with his rigid routine, and then his deep, eclectic love of music. She reveals endlessly but not reliably. He reveals only with struggle. Is she a danger, a threat? A lifeline? Or maybe all of that and more.
The empty floor of the big stage, the white soaring backdrops, focus all our attention on the confrontation between Alex and Georgie. Playwright Simon Stevens insistence on a bare stage works. Wood blocks and planks serve as minimal props that the actors move and assemble themselves between scenes. They handle the pieces individually, separately, except once–when they assemble the bed the two will soon lie in.
James Carpenter and Sarah Grace Wilson
Alex has learned hard lessons from life, but he has not let his losses disillusion him. He loves music, he reads, he knows beauty. But can he accept the unpredictable in the form of Georgie?
He says definitively, angrily, early in the play: "I don't feel, I fucking think." By the end of the play, Georgie has changed that a bit. Alex does not act without thinking it all through, but now he includes his heart, his needs, his love, when he acts. Time is limited. Damn the consequences.
The title of the play comes from the name of the physicist who came up with the "Uncertainty Principle," the idea that the position and the velocity of an object cannot both be measured exactly, at the same time, even in theory. Georgie puts it in more human terms: "If you watch something closely enough you realize you have no possible way of telling where it's going or how fast it's getting there." She knows what Heisenberg did not: it applies to people as well as things.
My seatmate opined this is a play that explores power dynamics between a man and a woman. Okay, but it is also a play about the surprising turns a heart can take. Simon Stephens knows those turns of the heart fascinate. And bring us back to life.

The Gaia Foundation's new report – UnderMining Agriculture: How the Extractives Industries Threaten our Food Systems exposes the hidden costs of mining on food, water, land, air and climate, showing how each is increasingly affected by toxins as the global land and water grab intensifies. The report is a timely call to action for all food justice and anti mining organisations to come together with a harder line against the extractives sector. The world's food production and millions of small farmers and communities are under threat.

How Director Robert Eggers and DP Jarin Blaschke Created the Look of 'The Witch'
How Director Robert Eggers and DP Jarin Blaschke Created the Look of 'The Witch'
Chris O'Falt
Mar 2, 2016 4:18 pm
@https://twitter.com/cofalt/
READ MORE: How Robert Eggers Used Real Historical Accounts to Create His Horror Sensation 'The Witch'
Writer/director Robert Eggers and his longtime collaborator cinematographer Jarin Blaschke knew exactly how they wanted "The Witch" to look, which is why they were unwilling to compromise and waited four years for the proper financing that would allow them to execute their plan. With a budget just north of $3million, the two filmmakers had 26 shooting days to make a film that had a precise cinematic language and as distinct a look as a films costing four times their budget. Here's Eggers and Blaschke explaining how they created the look of "The Witch."
Gloomy Exteriors
Blaschke: The look of the exteriors needed to be gloomy, but naturalistically gloomy. Robert and I are big believers that you always go with the simplest and most truthful solution, which in this case meant we needed to shoot under overcast weather. If you shoot when it's sunny and then try pressing your highlights down in post, it just looks phony and unacceptable for the atmosphere we needed. So we were juggling the schedule a lot to make that happen. If it was sunny in the morning and it looked like we'd have four or five hours of sun, we'd scramble to do an interior. That is why it was important that we have one essential interior that was near our exteriors.
Eggers: When I was writing I knew this had be one location. End of story. With the scouting, I knew we needed to find all the actual woods that are right behind the house or we'd never make our days.
Blaschke: Once we waited for the gloom, the grip department would just give it a little shape. The light tends to come from one direction and I'd just further take down from the other direction. The base light had to be real overcast weather and we'd just put some nets and solids on the side to strengthen what the light was already doing.
Eggers: The archetypal New England imagery was something that was always in my head. For me that meant the white pines that all the English settlers were drooling over when they got there and that became the cash crop of New England. We needed enormous trees to be prominent around the house at all cost.
Blaschke: We didn't necessarily get that untouched virgin forest, with giant old growth trees that we hoped for. We just found biggish trees. What we did have was different types of forest and variation in looks that we could play with — deeper in the woods for the scarier stuff, swampy areas for when Caleb (Harvey Scrimshaw) really gets lost, and the birch forest for when Thomasin (Anya Taylor-Joy) has been transferred from somewhere else.
We composed shots making characters diminutive in frame compared to the trees. We mostly used the 1:66:1 aspect ratio because we wanted a classic, timeless frame size, but the extra height of the aspect ratio also allowed us to let the trees loom over the characters. It also hints at a world where people are always thinking about what is above them in terms of their theology.
We had a modest crane, nothing fancy, that I used to put the camera up high and dolly through the forest. The camera would come close to some gnarly branches and there you have Caleb and his father tiny at the bottom of frame. Often in the forest the camera is either pulling you or pushing you through the woods and hopefully it feels like it is against your will in some kind of way.
The Alexa
Blaschke: We thought about this movie for awhile because it took four years to get financed, so there was a lot of time to do research and dream about what this movie would feel and look like. During that time, we always intended it to be shot on film, but when you get down to it, with animals and children and our schedule, it wasn't possible. Rob and I are very precise in our coverage and aren't just perpetually rolling, but when you are trying to get a goat to do something on camera, film isn't really an option. It's more important to put the money into the world, specifically sets and costumes, than the tertiary benefit of having a film texture.
So we had to shoot digitally and the Alexa is the only digital camera I can stomach. Subjectively, it has a palette I like and the colors and tonality is a lot less brittle than the other cameras I've tested. It's very smooth, almost glassy or acrylic, as oppose to film's oil paint look.
Limitations & Coverage
Eggers: I knew from my background as a production designer, in the meeting house scene at the beginning of the film, there was no way in hell we could afford shoes for all those people. It's not about just saying, "Okay, we'll frame out the shoes," because that is not good storytelling. In the scriptwriting, I needed to think about how this scene cannot earn a moment where we want to see a wide shot of the whole community in the meeting house. So that once it came to shooting, even if I could have afforded the shoes, I wouldn't have shot this any differently than we did.
Blaschke: I'd rather reconceive something, or see how we can distill something further, rather than do a watered down version of the thing we intended. That's where less coverage comes in. Fewer shots means we see less of the room, which means we're lighting less. I'd rather maintain the core of what we are going for than do a sloppy version.
Eggers: I storyboarded the whole film, then Jarin storyboarded the whole film, then we came together to create a very specific blueprint. Neither of us are interested in traditional coverage, it's a great tool for writer driven TV shows, but I think there's more effective ways to tell stories. The producers on set had to really trust Jarin and I because we basically cut in camera. We had a plan and we stuck to it.
Blaschke: It's pre-editing in a way — having shots fulfill a few different requirements at once. Each shot is loaded with more stuff that fulfils, on a few different levels, what we're doing. Using shots and the camera to say something about a character, as well as create a mood and give story information all at the same time.
One example of this is when William (Ralph Ineson) is chopping wood at night. You could do a conventional tense sequence of all these inserts of wood chopping, but then you are lighting from all these different directions at night. What we decided on was a slow, ominous over head zoom shot. One setup and for me it's stronger than the more typical option which would be a cutty thing.
Eggers: Something Jarin and I believe strongly is that in order to really transport an audience, it's not enough to say this is a good shot. It's about saying every single shot in this film has to be articulating a memory of our own Puritan childhood, and what did our dad's smell like that day in the corn field, and what was the mist like on the corn. That's the level of specificity that's needed in order to transport an audience. And that's where the obsession with detail comes from. It's not just authenticity for the sake of authenticity. That's why [production designer] Craig [Lathrop] built the farm and farmhouse using the same tools and techniques they would have used in the 17th century.
Candle Lit Interiors
Blaschke: One of things I loved about [cinematographer] Gordon Willis ("Godfather," "Annie Hall") is he was more about chopping away the bullshit and just committing to ideas. That's what I was striving for with the night time candlelit interiors. In the first short I did with Rob he found these triple wick, beeswax candles from Alaska and that's when I learned to work with candles. I would supplement with electric lights here and there on the short. In this film I wanted to go a step further and be authentic to the period and just light by fire, and we were able to do that for all but one shot — the raven was going to freak out if we had a fire on set.
One of my favorite shots is the three kids with a single candle in the middle. It's a symmetrical composition, they're kind of at the bottom of frame as they try to listen to the parents fight downstairs. I hid some tea lights to bring it up the light a little, but it's essentially one source and just a very simple composition with light falling off as you go up the wall and having these barely illuminated people. It's a shot that really embodies what I was striving for on this film. I was talking to Rob and we actually think even "The Witch" is over lit with too many candles going. Next time we want to go even further, maybe eliminate the need for depth, go simpler and see how far we can take it.

You don't need to understand a person or their post traumatic symptoms to listen to their trauma story. Having empathy and patience does not mean you must experience what they experience. We can never know exactly what another person has lived through and how they felt in each moment.


For your marriage to be legally recognised in England or Wales, there are certain formalities that are required by law.
You both need to attend the Register Office in the district in which you have had your usual residence for the preceding seven days to inform them of your intention to marry. This is called giving notice. Giving notice means declaring that you are free to marry and requires you to provide certain documents. This notice has to be given up to one year before the day of your wedding. 28 clear days must pass before the Registrar's certificates can be issued and you are able to marry.
In 1994 The laws in the United Kingdom changed, allowing licensed venues other than register offices to be used for civil marriage ceremonies.
However the content of the ceremony remains pretty much unchanged, and this type of Marriage or Civil Partnership Service can often be uninspiring and lack the pomp and flair that many couple rightly feel their relationship deserves.
"I call up these persons here present to witness that I (your name) do take thee (partners name) to be my lawful wedded wife (or husband)"
These words are the legal requirements for marriage, as well as formally identifying yourselves to the registrar and signing the marriage/civil partnership register in front of two independent witnesses and a registrar.
The rest of the service, including the exchanging of rings and saying of vows to one another is purely ceremonial and can therefore take place literally ANYWHERE and at any time of the day or night.... you are limited only by your imagination.

The Washington Post Falsely Wrote Public Enemy Said 9/11 Is A Joke
Written By cganemccalla
The Washington Post is one of the most esteemed newspapers in our country. But like all journalistic operations, they make mistakes. They recently wrote a piece about the rap group, Public Enemy, in which they claimed the Public Enemy said that 9/11 was a joke(meaning the terrorist attacks of 9/11/2001). The song they were referring to was "911 Is A Joke," which came out in 1990 and referred to the 911 emergency phone number service. Here's their retraction.
A Nov. 26 article in the District edition of Local Living incorrectly said a Public Enemy song declared 9/11 a joke. The song refers to 911, the emergency phone number.

Q: Are Career salaries tax included or excluded? Are careers.stackoverflow.com salaries tax included or excluded?
Should we detract the taxes from it?
For example, it says that in Germany the salary for a senior software engineer is 57,000$. Is this the "take-home" profit or will I get just the half of it because of the taxes?

A: Unless the job posting says otherwise or you're very familiar with the country the job is in, assume pre-tax.
As the commenters pointed out, tax situation varies from person to person so it's rather unlikely to see a "take home" pay listed on a job posting... although it could potentially vary by country.

India Boosts Its Presence in Kyrgyzstan
By: Erica Marat
July 8, 2011 05:49 PM Age: 12 years
Indian Defence Minister Shri A. K. Antony and Kyrgyz President Roza Otunbaeva in Bishkek, July 5, 2011 (Source: indinon.net)
New Delhi's presence has suddenly expanded in Kyrgyzstan following Indian Defense Minister A.K. Antony visit to Bishkek on July 4-5 to meet with his Kyrgyz counterpart, Abibilla Kudayberdiyev, to discuss bilateral cooperation on security issues.
It was agreed that by the end of July, Indian peacekeepers will begin training Kyrgyz army conscripts to make them suitable to participate in UN operations. "India has offered assistance to Kyrgyzstan to strengthen its defense and security capabilities. The training team is the first step," Antony said in Bishkek (www.hindustantimes.com, July 5). India will also provide English language training to the Kyrgyz army.
Furthermore, India will open a joint Mountain Biomedical Research Center in Tuya Ashu village. The center will host 20 Indian soldiers and conduct research on the mechanism of short term and long term high altitude adaptation, Antony said (www.timesofindia.com, July 6). "We can explore areas for cooperation in research and development in high-altitude base agriculture, plantation, animal husbandry, poultry and food processing that would also help generate rural employment and remove poverty," the Indian defense minister added.
Kyrgyz President, Roza Otunbayeva, praised the growing cooperation with India, saying that "the new center must become a leader in Kyrgyzstan's sciences. National professionals will study genetic aspects of the formation and development of mountain diseases." She also said that the new center is a watershed in the 20-year history of cooperation between Kyrgyzstan and India (www.24.kg, July 5). Overall, however, unlike international media outlets, the Kyrgyz press largely ignored Antony's visit to Bishkek.
The potential to play a role in post-NATO Afghanistan is the major driving force behind India's expansion into Central Asia. India has already expressed strong interest in joining the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which also recently unveiled its new Afghanistan policy. However, one difficulty the SCO faces is maintaining a balanced approach towards India and Pakistan.
For several years the heads of India, Iran, Mongolia, and Pakistan have held observer status with the SCO, while Belarus and Sri Lanka are SCO's "dialogue partners." The SCO plays a "constructive and forward looking role in contributing towards peace in Afghanistan," India's External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna said during the SCO summit in Astana last month (www.hindu.com, June 16).
According to the Indian press, New Delhi has sought to strengthen ties with Kyrgyzstan since the reign of former President Askar Akayev. India's President A.P.J Abdul Kalam and Akayev met in November 2003 to discuss the possibility of launching a mountain medical center (www.economictimes.com, July 5).
India helped in the construction of the airbase in Ayni, Tajikistan, and is known for its lack of any practical use. New Delhi has also sought to build stronger ties with other Central Asian states on issues other than regional security. The Indian government is also planning to build a pipeline to import gas from Turkmenistan's Yoloten-Osman field (www.defensenews.com, July 5).
Kyrgyzstan is the only Central Asian state to provide both ground transportation and an airbase for the Northern Distribution Network that supplies the US and NATO campaigns in Afghanistan. The country also hosts a Russian airbase in Kant city. In the past Bishkek had to balance its relations between the United States and Russia. Since the regime change in April 2010, however, Kyrgyzstan has been more receptive to foreign influence. There is no one government body that is responsible for foreign policy decisions. Otunbayeva pursues a more Western leaning policy, while Prime Minister Almazbek Atambayev (a potential presidential candidate) favors cooperation with Russia. Individual members of parliament have also boosted ties with various foreign partners – ranging from Washington to Jakarta.
Against this background, India enjoys a special status of being on good terms both with the West and Russia. Any of India's advances into the Central Asian states might compete mostly with the interests of Pakistan and China. Kyrgyzstan's foreign policy is likely to become more focused after the presidential election scheduled for October 30.
India's indirect economic impact on Kyrgyzstan and in the wider Central Asian region has expanded mainly due to shuttle traders importing goods from India, as well as student exchange programs. However, despite the geographic proximity between India and Kyrgyzstan, India still remains a much more difficult place to travel to when compared to Russia. For now, there are far more routes connecting Bishkek with Moscow than New Delhi. This is unlikely to change in the coming years.

Three Cheers for the Pom Poms
There were only a few GI Joe Naval artillery pieces.
There was the water-cooled 40mm deck machine gun in WWII GI Joe Battleship Row Defender.
There was the air-cooled 40mm deck machine gun in the modern GI Joe Coast Guard Harbor Security
The biggest piece was the WWII GI Joe Navy Gunner with Twin Mount Anti-Aircraft gun.
Inside Hasbro we referred to this by its common name "Pom Pom Gun." This name came from the unusual sound the weapon makes as it fired its shells. I always loved seeing those firing in WWII Navy movies like "Midway."
The original concept was to make it the guns pulse reciprocally while the four pack of shells slipped down in. Sadly, it was too expensive to keep that feature, but the piece will still elevate and transverse by turning the hand wheels. We also wanted to sell it with two crewman, which became too expensive, but the factory did produce extra figures for the GI Joe Collector's Club coud offer the extra figures sold so it could be manned properly.
The item was planned as a special for Toys R Us for a $35 retail price point. We hit the price, but TRU decided to retail it for $50 instead, so the price-value relationship was seemed a little expensive.
To make it so accurately, one of our designers found reprints of the actual blue prints for the weapon.
We also found there was a real one in Rhode Island that we could photograph to help augment the information on the blueprints.
Since this was such a complex piece, several internal models were made for this project for different uses.
The first model was the concept model. This was EXTREAMLY rough and quickly made. I think I spent less than a day making it. It was made to show a price-value relationship so upper management could approve the concept.
Ironically, that very rough model was also used in the 2000 Pre-toy Fair catalog.
There was a second model made using the blue prints spray mounted to foam core. It was used to create a model to see how large it would be and should be. The strictly 1/6th scale model was getting way too big and expensive so we used the old Mattel/Barbie trick and made most of it at 7/8 size to the figure, but any part the figures touches is exactly 1/6th scale so it works.
The final model was the first engineering sample. When the laterToy Fair catalog was released at New York Toy Fair, it shows a photograph of the engineering sample.
It is fun doing the research, but always better when you get a chance to touch real artifacts. Just last year I was finally about to climb onto a real pom pom gun on a cruiser in Boston. The tour guide even let me spin the wheels to traverse and elevate the gun from both of its seats. It just reinforced to me how cool that gun really is.
For years one of these pom pom guns sat on my self manned by GI Joe… and the Mattel Disney Classics Beast.
What is your favorite 1/6th scale artillery piece?

Schizophrenia is a serious and at times debilitating health condition affecting millions of individuals around the world. At the moment there is no cure for the condition, and treatment is often limited. However, a new review linking a sleep abnormality with the mental health illness may open the door for new, more effective treatment options.


Over 80% of people say the government should subsidise the cost of fruit and vegetables to encourage healthy eating, a BBC survey has shown.
ICM conducted a phone poll of 1,010 adults across England, Wales and Scotland.
Experts said the cost of fruit and veg did deter people from eating healthily.
The Healthy Britain poll also found a minority of people, 17%, felt the NHS should not provide treatment for obesity-related diseases.
Eighty-one per cent of those surveyed said the government should spend more on campaigns and support services to promote diet and exercise.
Many people backed measures which could cut childhood obesity.
Three quarters said junk food ads should not be shown between children's TV programmes and 60% supported a ban on supermarkets displaying sweets by check outs.
The poll showed schools are also expected to act. Eighty-nine per cent said there should be a legal obligation on them to ensure children ate healthily while they were at school.
The same percentage said the amount of exercise children were required to do under the National Curriculum should be increased.
Eighty per cent said the government should prevent schools from raising extra funds from vending machines which sell junk food and fizzy drinks.
A majority also supported the extension of the free fruit and vegetables scheme to all children. The scheme is currently available in some primary schools.
A third of those questioned felt parents who consistently failed to provide their children with a healthy diet should ultimately face prosecution.
When it came to adult health, 91% agreed the government should encourage people to walk and cycle by providing safer pavements and more cycle lanes.
Just over a third backed a tax on foods that are high in salt, sugar and fat. AND MEAT, WHAT ABOUT MEAT? (ok, so this wasn't in the article).
However, while 57% of those polled said it was right that the government should try to change people's behaviour in relation to what they eat, 65% think what people eat is up to them.
Paul Streets, Chief Executive, Health Development Agency said: "The findings of this poll are a clear signal that a stronger partnership for health between the government and the public is needed to reduce ill-health.
"Barriers such as the high cost of fresh fruit and vegetables and limited free access to sports facilities are preventing many people from leading a healthy lifestyle."
He added: "'We support the proposed restrictions on advertising to young children, but a coherent approach is needed that includes promotions in schools, sponsorship schemes and magazines."
Now if only your idiot neighbor government across the pond would take a lesson or two..
i saw the news yesterday, a piece about people trying to lose weight (something in the BBC's Fat Nation season) and a guy said, 'you go into a shop, and a banana or an apple costs 50p or 60p, i'd rather spend the money on a chocolate bar'.
A few years ago I was in a supermarket and there was a woman close by, with children in tow ... the trolley was loaded up with all the typical rubbishy stuff like frozen junk foods, crisps, sugary cereals, sugary drinks, and so on ... one of the children asked if they could buy some apples ... the mother replied that fruit was too expensive! Well, an apple is priced at around 20p to 30p and a pack of big name crisps is around 30p so I'm not too sure how this woman arrived at the idea that fruit was expensive compared to the contents of her shopping trolley. This event comes to mind every time I'm buying fruit.
I don't know what people are going on about. A vegan diet is so much cheaper than a meet eating diet. I've been a student living away from home without support from my family and I always have loads fruit and veg in the house. However if I am at a small café, fruit is so much more expensive than a bar of chocolate, that's if it is even available. So I can't blame people eating crap when they are on the run. It does wind me up though when my sister complains she is fat when she only buys junk food at the supermarket (she is a meat eater) and say's that healthy food is too expensive, she would be able to afford it if she hadn't bought all the junk food in the first place.
I guess that the people who are complaining about the price of fresh fruit and veg are the ones who have spent most of there money on expensive meat. Which by rights should cost much more than it does now, with all the subsides meat farmers get and environmental damage that they don't pay to be corrected.


This is a report without name written by some people at the ARI Institute. In case we forget, the website url is stamped on every page. My guess is it is a direct print-out from a PDF because it seems to contain links as references, links notified nowhere and of course not clickable since it is paper… No notes on the bottom of a page, no references list at the end. Automatically, no reference supporting any of the assertions is available: extremely frustrating. And, with all due respect, a sign of a certain amateurism.
But ok, an adage in French says that the cloth doesn't make the monk, meaning one shouldn't make up an opinion on something/someone only based on external and superficial characters. So, the rigid scientist in me jumping on her feet was politely asked to calm down and read forward 🙂 The content announces that a big part of the present report (3 pages out of 13) will focus on the topic "Women Suffer the Most from the Crisis". I was curious: my knowledge in economics is beyond any reasonable level, I mean, really, I am ashamed to have gaps in my general culture when it comes to economics. And even though I try to fill them, miracles don't always happen in one night. This is just to say that I was curious and pleased of the perspective to read a small report on how economical crisis impacts women. The latter are more often unemployed or, if they have a job, it is more often a part-time one; and I am not even bringing the question on the pay gap. Thus, having an opinion integrating all these points – as I thought I would read – was a nice expectation.
This is not intended as a feminist piece. Honestly. However, as waves of crises repeatedly sweep over us, we may want to reflect on whether letting men 'play their games' all these years is the reason why everything around us is falling apart. Maybe in between the football, video games, and fishing, we should have directed them toward something more purposeful, something that would contribute to humanity, that they could look back on with pride.
I don't know what you think, but I am definitely reading a huge poisonous dose of sexism and, more particularly, of man-hating (nicely referred to as « misandrie » in French). So what: if we were living in a matriarcal society, this would never happen? And if… well, if my aunt had family jewels, it would be my uncle. And what many people around proudly citing as « role models » a few women in powerful positions such as IMF head Christine Lagarde? Honestly, very disappointing entry of this report.
Globalization has exacerbated inequality in many Western countries, especially in America. The news is even worse for the woman sewing t-shirts or making trainers. She is the collateral damage of globalization. She did all that was asked of her: worked hard, paid her taxes, and saw her children off to school each day. It is not her fault that millions of $1-per-day Chinese workers were more than willing to compete with her, and that Walmart snapped up their products, triggering a massive shift of wealth from the U.S. to China and from producers to consumers.
In El Salvador, 76% of male political prisoners surveyed in the 1980s described at least one incidence of sexual torture. A study of 6,000 concentration-camp inmates in Sarajevo found that 80% of men reported having been raped.
So, is this the illiteracy? And what is this « collapse of moral values » referring to? Great amalgame.
Forces of nature are never equal to one another, but rather complement each other perfectly. This is the only way to measure the correct balance between them. Our generation must understand that the complementary aspects of their female-male relationship serve a single common goal — the improvement of mankind. The outcomes of this discovery will bring about significant changes for everyone on the planet.
As the family unit gradually lost its power, society began losing its value.
Two parts of nature, men and women, are equal and completely opposite to one another. The woman's natural system is totally tied to nature and that is why we see that it si precisely the woman who brings new life into the world and who is responsible for the hierarchical order in the home and children's education.
Man is simply a reflexive reflection of women's desires. No man can move a finger without a woman pushing him from behind. There is validity of the adage « behind every great man stands a great woman ».
Do you really think I need to comment further on such nonsense…? This is self-demonstrative stupidity, I guess.
Women are known to be more practical, closer to nature, seeking security, able to multi-task, and the source of life that brings children into the world; they must be the operational part of the new times, of the new world. It is safe to assume that men will not make the transition easy, and not give up their names so readily. Therefore, as the crisis deepens, the world will become more and more dependent on women's determination to save and enhance the general situation of the quality of our lives.
But we got what was advertised… no stinking feminism. just some racism, sexism and some evo psych crap. And evolution doesn't work that way as well. Hoq did they manage to get EVERYTHING wrong?
Obviously no fact checking has been done as well when Chinese and Bulgaria were mentioned and the cringe inducing way Chinese people were presented as sub-human… just no.
Also… wth does « moral » even mean according to these people anyway? Traditional gender roles? Again vilification of men and presenting them as in need of a woman in order for them not to be brutes, killers and rapists… naturally.
WHY does the crisis hurt women more? This was the title of their topic but it was discussed… nowhere.


"It's through the lens of language we are able to enter another world".
At Goodwood Primary School, Italian is the language offered as the curriculum area for Languages Other Than English to all the mainstream classes. The time allocation at all year levels is 50 minutes per week.
As part of the culturally diverse nature of the Australian society, Italian is one of the major community languages. As Italian is widely spoken in Australia, many opportunities exist to hear and use the language in real- life situations. Italian has a strong literary and grammatical emphasis from Latin. Italian belongs to the Romance family of languages and is connected to its 'sibling' languages of Spanish, Portuguese and French. Italian learning has many links to other curriculum areas such as Literacy, HaSS and The Arts. Through this study, students gain an insight and respect of a culture that may not be their own.
The Australian Curriculum for Languages is organised into 3 strands: Communicating, Understanding, and Reciprocating. In Languages, there are links with the General Capabilities of the Australian Curriculum, particularly in the areas of Intercultural Understanding and Ethical Understanding.


With Rob traveling in Iceland the guys have fun trying (and failing) to predict who will be in the Super Bowl, also recapping the Divisional round and the future of dynamic players like Patrick Mahomes & Nick Foles. The gang also discuss the etiquette for farting in a variety of scenarios as well as its comedic timing and the phenomena of the 'Forbidden Laugh'. Sarah closes out the show with a harrowing tale from her recent trip to Tahoe.
Rob and Sarah open the show with some theoretical NFL playoff discussions as well as a confession. Sarah and Rob also ask producer Chandler about her trip home to Alabama with her boyfriend and Chandler shares some of the experiences she had with her California born boyfriend's first experience in the south. They then turn to some news stories including a gentlemen with an interesting relationship to a doorbell, how a foot lover helped debunk a fake photo and everyone gives their biggest pet peeves.
Rob & Sarah are joined by friends of the show Chris Pizzi and Bennett Webber as we go through the 2018 North American Turd Awards.

Action current flow protection is to avoid the maximum load current setting, in some cases can not meet the requirements. So in order to improve the sensitivity of overcurrent protection when short circuit fault occurs in the sensitivity and improve from the maximum load current condition, which is why the installation of low voltage and current protection in atresia.
Overload generally refers to the power, the current general description of fault. The load is a kind of common appellation, is a quantitative value, namely the power of books written. Overload refers to the load power consumption exceeds the rated value, according to the power is equal to the voltage multiplied by the current can be known, power over the rated value, if the supply voltage is constant, the current will exceed the rated value, or the overcurrent protection of high voltage, load, equivalent to the long delay in the protection of low voltage system (i.e. low pressure system overload protection), general transformer overload protection setting time is 9~15 seconds of action current is greater than the rated electric transformer Flow.
In addition high voltage capacitors and motors may also be used for overload protection and the lines generally do not use over-current protection is generally for short circuit protection.
The generator protection as an example, the current generator over a certain time, action on the trip, the generator overload protection also has a certain time, action in the signal, alarm. Its value is less than the current value. From the reasons, the flow is usually due to external fault, such as external short-circuit caused. Belongs to the backup protection, usually with a certain delay; overload caused by overload or asymmetry. From the exit, the overcurrent protection usually symmetric overload trip; usually letters, negative sequence load usually trip delay.
Overcurrent protection and overload protection are two main differences: one is the setting value is two different action, different action time. Overload protection value is much lower than the overcurrent protection value, but is greater than that of the normal load, to prevent the equipment overload operation, and in order to avoid the starting current equipment also added a certain delay. For some reason when the overcurrent protection maloperation, overload protection can be used as backup protection over current protection. However, overload protection is generally divided into 2 regions of a time limit in an inverse time when more than a little when rated, the overload capacity of a device can withstand less in a period of time, this time is not required To stop tripping when more than one rated when many equipment not often time under high overload must, to stop or tripping of an equipment damage action time can greatly inverse time overcurrent according to the cooling capacity of primary equipment (mainly the overload current increases heating increases lead to burning equipment). Setting calculation. And the flow is the need to protect the external fault tripping immediately.
Overload protection value is low, generally 1.2 times rated the long delay, the main protection is due to the load side clamping torque increase, fault type, characteristics of this kind of fault is not caused by current increases rapidly, can long delay does not cause damage to coil overheating, action on the trip. The current protection setting value is higher, generally 3-4 times, mainly used for blocking, do the backup protection of three-phase short-circuit overcurrent protection, short-circuit fault description of the system, a lot of voltage will decrease, and the overload signal when the voltage does not decrease, so the overcurrent protection adopts low voltage closes, and not use current overload protection Protection is to collect three-phase or two-phase current value, and overload protection only need to collect any phase current value can be over-current protection protection will export action, overload protection only signal!
Prev: What are the function of the main transformer protection?


Lately, I've been drawn back to the card craps (PlayCraps™) game at my local Viejas Casino, mostly because I'm willing to lay more odds now with my newfound bankroll. They've changed the constant shuffle machine (CSM) to the ShuffleMaster® 126 model, which has a lot more internal slots than the previous shuffler. I thought this might hurt the don't pass advantage, but I updated my simulator parameters (now 40 slots, and 312 cards) and the results remained as good as before. Most importantly, I added a MIN_RESERVOIR_DEPTH parameter, which is the minimum number of cards in the chute (reservoir) before the CSM drops another slot. I set it to 5 cards, and experimented with various counting window depths, and max odds to find a strategy I was comfortable with.
I found that a window size between 3 and 6 rolls prior rolls didn't make much of a difference. This was a nice result, because it's practically impossible to remember more than two prior rolls, and the management won't let me record rolls with paper and pen anymore 😦 I also found that laying 5x odds is enough to gain about +0.25% over the house. (10x odds yields an 1.8% edge.) Again, this is nice, because 5x is the limit of my comfort zone. So, I'll bet $5 on the Don't Pass line, and use a 3-roll window to determine when to lay 5x odds.
in last 3 rolls Lay when #(low rolls) >= #(high rolls) in window.
in last 3 rolls Lay if two of last three rolls are "good".
in last 3 rolls Lay if at most one "bad" roll in last 3.
in last 3 rolls Lay when #(high rolls) >= #(low rolls) in window.
Note that a simple counting scheme emerges from the roll types ("good", "bad", "ugly") and the small window. The 4/10 are very easy to play (i.e., know when to lay DP odds). A neutral count for the 4/10 still yield a +0.15% DP odds edge. If the count gets to +12 (e.g., all three rolls "low"), the DP odds edge averages about +0.5%.
The 5/9 points also work out easily. You need 2 out of the last 3 rolls to be "good". If there's one "ugly" roll (-4) and two "good" rolls (+2) in the window, you're DP odds are neutral. The 5/9 points are "fair" in that a neutral count yields no bias against the point. If all three rolls in the window are "good", then your +6 count yields about a +0.2% DP odds edge. If you have two "good" rolls (+2), and one "bad" roll (-1) in the window, the +3 count yields about a +0.1% DP odds edge.
Finally, the 6/8 points are very easy to play as well. If two of the last three rolls are "good" (+1) and one is "bad" (-2), the neutral count still yields a DP odds edge of +0.1%. If all three rolls are "good", the +3 count yields a DP odds edge +0.2%.
You don't have to worry about being perfectly exact on all your counts. Usually, when I play, I pay attention to how the previous hand ended. That way, I know the roll before the come-out. The important thing is to have an adequate bankroll, and the will to lay against all points when the count is good. You'll find that things average out well, and a game is enjoyable with enough bankroll and a +0.25% (@ 5x) tailwind.

Very interesting post. Have you written the entire strategy for playing craps with cards in a report that I might read?
Calculating estimated bet percentage should be fairly easy given your estimates too. If you were to use the Kelly Criterion, a 1% bet of total capital would be warranted on 4/10 in .5% +EV situations. I know there is a max. payout of $1,000 at Viejas, so, it's not scalable.
