IRI, Kellogg and ANA #SeeHer Study Reveals Higher Gender Equality Measure Scores Drive Greater Sales Lift
New study proves higher Gender Equality Measure programs are better for advertisers
CHICAGO and BATTLE CREEK, Mich. — Oct. 2, 2018 — During the Advertising Week New York conference today, representatives from IRI®, Kellogg Company (Kellogg) and the Association of National Advertisers' (ANA) #SeeHer initiative will present results of the first IRI study that links the depiction of women in advertising and sales results.
Kellogg is one of many companies involved with ANA's #SeeHer initiative. #SeeHer aims to eliminate gender bias in media and promote more accurate portrayals of women through media and advertising. Kellogg submitted its Special K® "Own It" campaign to be evaluated with the ANA's "Gender Equality Measure" (GEM™) score, which is used to quantify consumer reaction to the treatment of women in advertising and programming. IRI then leveraged its industry-leading measurement solution, IRI Lift™, to uncover correlations between the Kellogg advertisements' GEM scores and its offline sales lift.
The groundbreaking study found a direct correlation between GEM scores and sales lift. Ads with the highest sales lift had the highest GEM scores, whereas ads that generated the lowest sales lift had the lowest GEM scores. Further, the Special K #SeeHer campaign generated the highest sales lift when advertisements appeared during commercial breaks of TV shows with above-average GEM scores.
By using GEM to effectively plan its Special K campaign, Kellogg outperformed IRI's consumer packaged goods food category sales lift averages by more than 200 percent.
"This study provides solid evidence that embracing an accurate and positive portrayal of women in ad campaigns is beneficial for business objectives," says Jennifer Pelino, senior vice president of the IRI Media Center for Excellence. "The results demonstrate the clear need for an individualized planning approach that incorporates GEM as a consideration for both the advertising content and context of where it appears."
"The Special K brand is committed to encouraging women to embrace body confidence and leverage inner strength to succeed, which makes it an easy and critical decision to show women equitably in our marketing," said Christie Crouch, director of marketing for Special K. "While we believe it is the right thing to do in support of strong women, now we also know it is a positive business decision as seen in our partnership with #SeeHer and IRI."
"This study once again proves that consumers care deeply about gender equality in advertising, and they reward the advertisers that get it right," concluded Stephen Quinn, chair of ANA #SeeHer. "We are looking forward to sharing the results with marketers and the industry."
Women are industry influencers for both the messages produced and the buying power they command. Study results amplify the pressure on marketers to join the growing #SeeHer movement by uncovering newfound financial incentives associated with higher GEM scores.
This groundbreaking initiative shows the impact of marketing efforts made to more effectively speak to women through advertising, which has resulted in improvements to the bottom line and greater equality in media.

About #SeeHer
Despite the strides made to accurately portray women and girls in media, an unconscious bias persists against women and girls in advertising, media and programming. The Association of National Advertisers' (ANA) launched the #SeeHer initiative in June 2016 in a partnership with The Female Quotient (TFQ) at the United State of Women. #SeeHer's mission is to increase the accurate portrayals of women and girls in media 20 percent by 2020, the 100th anniversary of women winning the right to vote in the U.S. The group developed a Gender Equality Measure (GEM™) to track progress and the marketing effect of removing unconscious bias from ads and programming. High GEM™ scores directly correlate to improved ROI. GEM™ became the industry standard in the U.S. which led to a global rollout in mid 2018.

Invisible Men Battle It Out in Hurst
Posted on June 30, 2019 by Kathy Waller in Uncategorized
We're pleased to announce that "Invisible Men Invade Earth" was named audience favorite at the Central Arts Short Film Battle in Hurst last night. It competed with "Don't Die" by Cody Lovorn from San Antonio.
As winner, "Invisible Men" will compete with other 2019 audience favorites later in the year.
After the Battle, a 90-minute feature film, The Monster of Phantom Lake, produced by Film Battle organizer Christopher Mihm, was shown. The Creative Spotlight terms Mihm a "retro-styled director." Of the film, it says,
"Made on a nearly non-existent budget, this B-movie went on to garner much critical acclaim, appear in many genre-based film festivals, win multiple awards, and continues to screen across the world."
Without further ado, here are pictures of writer-director-producer-camera man-sound engineer-casting director-key grip-best boy-etc. David Davis, stars William the Cat and Ernest the Cat, and one wall of the theatre.

Score: Fifteen – Love
In less than an hour, David and I will have been married fifteen years and nine hours. Or slightly less; the wedding began at 2:00 p.m., but with all the singing and marching and reading and plighting, it was probably 2:30 before the minister told us we could leave. To me, it seems like we've been married only a few months. I don't how it seems to to David, and I'm not going to ask.
Anyway, we're celebrating with a night at the Omni Hotel at Barton Creek, where we're conferring, consorting, and otherwise hob-nobbing with our brother and sister wizards. Or as David would put it, we're mixing with the quality.
I spent the morning and part of the afternoon at the Mokara Spa, getting nails, hair, and face done. Fifteen years ago it wouldn't have taken that long, but things happen.
David took before and after pictures. I don't know whether After will look much different from Before, but in real life, I walked out of that place looking a lot better than I did when I went in. I had color in my face. Or, more accurately, on it.
When I was thirteen, my mother handed me a lipstick and said, "Use it. You're very pale." She was the only mom in Creation who wished her daughter would use more make-up. I didn't know how bad it was until I was in my forties, when I saw a picture of myself sitting in the church choir. Everyone else looked normal. I looked several shades past anemic.
It's a Waller thing. My grandfather was tanned by the sun, but when he rolled up his khakis to wade into the river (on some mission related to his boat or his trotlines) his legs were unimaginably white. After meeting one of my cousins, David delicately and in a voice filled with concern, asked me if she had some kind of illness or condition. No, I said, that's what's known as alabaster skin. Unfortunately, I missed the alabaster, but I got the pallor. Until I get embarrassed, at which time I turn beet red.
A dermatologist once said to me, "Well, you have blonde skin, you know." His tone was downright accusatory. I got my father's black hair, which comes from the other side of his family. I know they don't go together, but it's not my fault. I have no control over my DNA.
Anyway, the Mokara make-up lady has me looking downright alive. She also did a pretty good haircut. I showed her a ten-year-old picture and she got about as close as anyone could get.
What, you might ask, did David–the other half of this anniversary thing–do while I was being gussied up? What he does every day. He sat with his Chromebook and worked on Alien Resort and whatever else he works on. I never know what he's doing until he tells me a newspaper has picked up his cartoon or that a film festival is going to screen one of his videos.
Which brings this post to a turn I didn't expect it to take: while I was writing this, David forwarded me an email from Central Arts of Hurst Short Film Series – Round Three saying that his "Invisible Men Invade Earth" will be screened this Saturday, June 29. It will be
"competing against "Don't Die" and, based on audience reaction and input, a winner will be crowned at the conclusion of the evening. The winning film will then be invited back at the end of the screening series to compete in a "Battle Royale" to see which film is crowned "King" (or "Queen" or "Non-gender-specific Monarch," take your pick)! SO, in the interest of giving your film the best chance to win, we very much encourage you to invite EVERYONE you know to this event!"
"Invisible Men" has garnered positive responses ("sweet and innocent"; "a film you can tell he made just because he wanted to") at all showings, and it stars the cats (last-minute unscripted but welcome appearance), so I can, with confidence, pronounce it the best film of the year, bar none.
Nevertheless, if you're in the Hurst-Euless-Bedford-Dallas-Fort Worth-Oklahoma area this Saturday evening, feel free to drop in (although they say to get a ticket early because they often turn people away at the door). And if you come, vote for David's film. Because the other people in attendance might have poor taste and vote wrong.
We don't know when the Monarch will be named. The film festival is a monthly event. The first in the series was in December 2018, so we assume the competition will be held toward the end of this year. We'll let you know, since we are encouraged to invite EVERYONE we know. David appreciates all compliments, admiration, adulation, and adoration that come his way, and I'm sure he'd be okay with his film's being crowned. The ultimate designation, though, is weird. That's what an Austin reviewer called it. High praise. It's an Austin thing.
So that's the story of our anniversary celebration. The only things omitted are 1) the steak; half of mine is in the refrigerator, none of his resides there; and 2) the tantrum I had when, after both David and I spent a half-hour searching for the photographs I had transferred from my camera to the Google Drive, and after David said, How do you stand the mouse opening and closing tabs when you're not looking and I said, I cuss under my breath, and he figured out how to fix it, almost—as I said, after all that, I discovered about four hundred words had disappeared from this post and the deletion couldn't be undone and all revisions were gone gone gone.
It wasn't much of a tantrum, because I knew I should have saved before running off after errant photos, but then, WordPress shouldn't have autosaved an incomplete document.
And the mouse, which I'm certain is to blame, should have minded its own business.
If you've gotten this far without wishing the missing four hundred words had never been reconstituted, bless your heart. Now I have to go wash off all this makeup and fade into the background.

William and Ernest Make America Great. For the Second Year in a Row. In Dallas.
Posted on November 3, 2018 November 3, 2018 by Kathy Waller in Uncategorized
David and I are in Dallas for What the Fest 2 at the Pocket Sandwich Theatre, and we are officially chuffed. David's "Invisible Men Invade Earth," which was named Judges' Pick in the 2017 WTF, was screened last night, first on the program–and will be shown again tonight.
What the Fest highlights films that don't fit into any particular genre. (An understatement if there ever was one.)
Last night's fan favorite was "Deletion," the story of a psychiatrist who specializes in erasing patients' memories. My favorite was "Toasted," a look at what appliances, including a Scotch tape dispenser that handles tape about as well as I do, get up to when the master isn't home.
Everyone in the audience received a raffle ticket for door prizes. If you let them stamp your forehead, you got an extra raffle ticket. Well, why not? David won a tote bag. Or maybe I did. I gave him my tickets to care for, and we don't know whose number was called.
At the second intermission, girls* came around with a black light thingy and took pictures of our foreheads. Results are under Well, why not, above.
Pocket Sandwich Theatre is little and cute and specializes in melodrama, as you can tell from the carpet of popcorn on the floor.
What the Fest is my favorite of all the festivals we've been to, in part because little and cute also means informal–the principals say they're a family, and they act like it. They have fun. So does the audience.
They also like David's film. When they introduced it, they said they'd watched nine hours of submissions, and to keep themselves going throughout the arduous task, they periodically played "Invisible Men," because it made them giggle. When we were leaving, a couple of the guys said they watch it a lot and also quote some of the lines ("Well, that sucks," and "It is not a coincidence.") One of the girls said she watches it with her mother.
In Austin, "Invisible Men, the story of two cats who save Earth by facing down a horde of space aliens," and David's other films are called weird."** The folks in Dallas speak of "purity" and "a place of love." In other words, it's the kind of film you can take home to your mother, and that says a lot.
Once again, stars William and Ernest chose to stay home under the twice-a-day supervision of Charla, who feeds them, pets them, and gives William his insulin injection. They don't like the carriers or the car, but they like Charla a lot. Charla emailed us that they're playful.
We're now using the wi-fi at the Denny's next door to our hotel. The hotel's wi-fi keeps slipping off the Internet and refuses to let me upload photos, but Denny's is excellent.
In about four hours, we'll head back to Pocket Sandwich Theatre to see "Invisible Men Invade Earth" and several new films. Last night, the audience started laughing before the first scene ended. I'm sure tonight's viewers will be just as discerning.
*A purist would call them women, but where I come from, women that age are girls unless you're trying to make a point.
**In Austin, weird is a compliment. I don't know who decided Austin is weird, but "Keep Austin Weird" is right up there, or maybe above, "The Live Music Capitol of the World." Weird may have started when Jim Franklin drew that armadillo. Oh. I just looked it up. Here's who decided Austin is weird.
Further note: Lone Star used to be the National Beer of Texas, and I guess it still is. I haven't seen the commercial in a long time, but there's a video on youtube extolling its virtues. (See link above.) According to the expert, It's got a perfect taste that's hard to describe.

Fort Worth Indie Film Festival & # ROW80 Report
Posted on July 20, 2016 by Kathy Waller in Uncategorized
Fort Worth Indie Film Festival, 2016 – Family Shorts Block – "The Places You'll Go"
It appears to be Wednesday–the scheduler from my doctor's office had to tell me it wasn't Thursday, but since her call woke me up, I take no responsibility for mixing up the days–and thus time for the #ROW80 report.
If I were playing by the rules, I would have reported last Sunday, but we'd been out of town all weekend and there was little to say. And since #ROW80 knows I have a life, I play by my rules.
I probably shouldn't post today. I'm not in the best state of mind. I feel the way many of us do when we did the right thing, and because we did, life went all to you-know-where. But that's another story. For anyone wanting more information, check the end of the post.
Fort Worth Indie Film Festival, 2016 – Family Shorts Block – "The Interview"
On a brighter note, which I'm sure will be welcome, David's "Alike and Different" was screened at the Fort Worth Indie Film Festival on Saturday. There was a good turnout, and the audience laughed in all the right places. The one drawback was that two of the other films starred very cute children and thus received an inordinate amount of attention. I've advised David to include William and Ernest the Cats in all future videos. Children, no matter how cute, are not as cute as our cats.
The #ROW80 report:
The Buffet set on July 13 with updates:
(The Buffet is explained in "Writing, Reading, and the Watermelon Buffet," on Writing Wranglers and Warriors.)
Edit the AMW story for its (I hope) last major critique
On the way home from Fort Worth, I scribbled on the manuscript. No major changes, the kind that will make a difference, just little changes in wording that will make no difference at all, but that will keep me doing the Should I? Shouldn't I? dance. Just north of Waco, I put the ms. away to look at when I don't care.
Draft the second half of the story "Texas Boss" and submit to AMW for critique
Finish a very rough draft of "Thank You, Mr. Poe," the story I started last week
Nope again.
By September 5th, read at least ten of the books on my 20 Books of Summer 2016 list.
I've read about half of Isabel Allende's The Japanese Lover. I'm glad I made the effort to see Allende when she was at BookPeople several months ago. I'm glad I bought the book. At the time, I felt guilty for buying a hardback I don't have room for when I could have spent less for a Kindle "copy." But after I read the first few pages, guilt atomized. It's a delightful book, one that, for maximum enjoyment, must be read from paper. I still don't know where I will put the book after reading it.
Post #ROW80 reports on Sundays and Wednesdays.
I skipped Sunday. See paragraph #2, above.
Visit three new #ROW80 blogs a day.
Started this but fell along the wayside.
Take three naps a week.*
Not too bad. Napped Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (on the way to Fort Worth; I think that counts), Saturday (practically passed out, so maybe I can't claim credit), and Sunday (on the way home). Sad but true, I can't remember what I did Monday or yesterday. But that's five naps, two more than I set for myself, and four more than I expected to take.
*Start as soon as this has been posted.
I did, with a nap.
The July 20 Buffet:
The original Buffet was meant to cover 80 days beginning with July 4, not just a few days or a week. Some haven't been completed. Number 5 is on-going. So nothing changes.
Complete the edit the AMW story for its (I hope) final major critique
Finish a very rough draft of "Thank You, Mr. Poe"
By September 5th, read at least ten of the books on my 20 Books of Summer 2016 list. (The list appears at Writing Wranglers and Warriors.)

Dedicated to the kindness of strangers
Posted on July 9, 2016 by Kathy Waller in Uncategorized
In June, David's "Alike and Different," a video "dedicated to the kindness of strangers," won the Out of This World Award at the Lionshead Film Festival in Dallas.
The emcee who introduced the video said–and I wrote this down so I would get it right–"Not much I can say. Four minutes." And then, to the audience, "We'll see what you say."
But he was half grinning/half giggling, which said a lot. And the audience laughed in all the right places.
When people you don't know, and who don't know you, laugh in all the right places–well, it makes you feel darned good.
Afterward, the emcee said David's video shows what can be done using just a few household objects. I assume the household object to which he referred was my vegetable steamer. It does make a stunning spacecraft.
David @ Lionshead Film Festival, June 2016
When David told me the festival would be held at Valley View Center, an old mall on Preston Road, I said, "I know Preston Road." And that is true. Sort of. I know approximately two blocks of Preston Road. Or, I knew two blocks of it. My knowledge peaked sometime between, oh, 1957 and 1965.
Consequently, as a navigator, I was hopeless. I read the big green exit signs and said things like, "There's Walnut Hill Lane. I know that." And, "There's Belt Line. I know that." I'm just a bit hazy on how all the streets I know fit together, like on a map.
[Typical on-the-road conversation:
David: The mall is in the Galleria area. Do you know where the Galleria is?
Me: Yes. It's in Houston.]
Fortunately, David had performed due diligence and we reached our destination without having to depend on the kindness of strangers.
The Lionshead festival was smaller than others we've attended: all fifty-two films were screened in one small room. But I was impressed by the quality. "Call for a Good Time," was one of my favorites. It was named Best Student Comedy Micro Short. The director, a student at Baylor University, said it was inspired by Baylor's Moody Memorial Library, which serves as an unofficial social center. He said you have to get pretty deep into the library to study, which is what his characters do. Sort of.
My other favorite was a comedy titled "Hard Broads." I can't explain. You have to see it for yourself. It was named Best Female Directed Short. I didn't see a Best Male Directed Short on the list.
Two days before the festival, the Dallas City Council voted to tear down Valley View Center to make way for the Dallas Midtown development. It seems it's "a dead mall on life support." Dead, maybe, but I liked what I saw of it–art galleries and studios and kiddie rides and a train. I'm a sucker for trains. And stuffed animals, and a store displaying the most well-endowed mannequin I've ever seen. I snapped a few of the highlights.
For more out-of-this-world experiences, check out Alien Resort.
It's official, finally: By year's end, Valley View Center will be torn down for Dallas Midtown
Dallas Midtown, the Valley View redo, now one vote away from $36 million in TIF money, demo deadline

Eccentric Director's Films Like a "Living Comic Strip"
Posted on October 1, 2015 October 1, 2015 by Kathy Waller in Uncategorized
Fantastic Fest: Epilogue
David is taking this in stride, but I am simply agog.
As a result of his participation in Fantastic Fest, David has been profiled the September 30th iDigital Times.
According to writer Andrew Whalen, "perhaps the strangest shorts in this very strange collection [Shorts With Legs] were those of David Davis."
The article includes two of the shorts–"Alike and Different" and "Reverse Effects"–as well as a link to his Vimeo page.
Warning: The links to Vimeo in the article worked the first time I tried them
but failed a few minutes later. So I've added a direct link here.
Rummage around on his Vimeo page and see "Invisible Men Invade Earth," which was screened in 2012 at Cosmic-Con and Sci-Fi Film Festival in Roswell, New Mexico, and at the Boomtown Film and Music Festival in Beaumont. Ernest the Cat makes an unscripted but serendipitous appearance.
Note: It's best to use one of the links to access David's films on Vimeo. I looked for them by googling his name and found several David Davis pages there–and some of the films surprised me. Nothing terrible (I guess; I didn't exactly watch any of them), but I want to make clear that those surprise collections are not part of the genuine David Davis' repertoire. The eccentric David Davis.
Another note: David's short films are short–only two or three minutes. Don't blink.

The Best of Fantastic Fest: My Husband, His Films, and a Flying Vegetable Steamer
Posted on September 30, 2015 September 30, 2015 by Kathy Waller in Uncategorized
Last week a friend asked what David and I have done for fun lately.
A long silence followed.
Fantastic Fest 2015 tee-shirt
After a courtship comprising concerts, coffee houses, radio spots, tacos Tapatio on Christmas morning in Ciudad Acuna, and a road trip that David's brother termed a kamikaze vacation to Maryland, Washington, D.C., New York City, and Georgia between Christmas and New Year's (if there's territory to be covered, we cover it), we settled into a quiet married life complete with a washer, a dryer, a microwave, and two four-pawed children. We're happy, but our definition of fun tends toward the stodgy.
Today, however, we leave our cool sequester'd vale and plunge into the madding crowd at the Alamo Draft House for Fantastic Fest.
Three of David's short films will be screened today in Shorts with Leg, starting about 2:00 o'clock. They first aired last Friday, so we're a repeat audience.
According to Fantastic Fest's website, Shorts with Leg are "the strangest and most compelling eccentric short films we've seen all year, from polished excursions into existential surrealism to enthusiastic reveries of outsider art madness." It also refers to "the most mind-meltingly bizarre short film submission this programmer has ever seen!" We're not certain, but the way it's phrased, that seems to apply to one of David's films. I'd not thought of it, but mind-meltingly bizarre is accurate.
The three films, which will reappear on his Vimeo page after the festival ends, are
Alike and Different;
Reverse Effects; and
Superhero.
Click on Alike and Different and read that "David Davis becomes your new favorite outsider artist in this lo-fi satirical look at a first contact scenario." You'll also see a photo of a flying saucer that closely resembles my vegetable steamer.
Madding Crowd at Fantastic Fest 2015
Other Shorts with Leg were made by professionals–one said he'd just finished editing Warren Beatty's latest film–which makes David's "outsider status" pretty darned special. Even better–in my estimation at least–was audience reaction to his films: They laughed. And laughed. And laughed. What higher praise is there? His films were bright spots in an otherwise strange, dark two hours.
After the screening, directors appeared on stage and answered questions. To wit:
Question: What inspired your film?
David: I wanted to make something simple and cheap.
He accomplished his goal. Actors, singer, arranger, pianist, costume enhancer, and flying saucer donated their time.
In short, he done good. I knew I was marrying a writer and a kamikaze, but I had no idea I'd end up as consort of a film producer/director/editor and all the rest.
Having described David's success, I'll move on to mine.
Me, at certain times of the year
For photo IDs, the Fest wanted shaky faces, meaning we were supposed to shake our faces back and forth and snap a picture at the worst point–when flesh had practically parted from bone and was wobbling all over the place.
I refused. Instead, I sent in an old drawing I'd made to represent how I felt during allergy season. If they refused to issue me a badge, I was going to sit outside on a bench and read.
But I got my badge. The picture is on sideways, but it's there. I realized last Friday morning that if I didn't brush my hair, I'd look just like it.
This post should have gone online last night, but I ran out of steam. No matter. I am not used to working in advance of need.
Time to leave. I have to stop this and throw on my tee-shirt. If we happen to meet in the lobby, please look at my photo ID. No one else has.
Oh–Publicity mentions that Elijah Wood will be the DJ at the closing party. The Elijah Wood? I don't know. David said he's not interested in going to the parties because it would just be young people behaving boisterously. I concur. We're going to El Mercado and then to see Mark Pryor at BookPeople instead.
See? I told you our fun tends toward the stodgy. And, thank goodness, toward the literary, which is not stodgy at all.
Mark Pryor's HOLLOW MAN
PS Author Mark Pryor will be at BookPeople tonight at 7:00 p.m. His new book, HOLLOW MAN is–I can't think of an adjective besides amazing, and that's used so often it's become meaningless–but just take my word for it that this book is what a mystery/suspense/thriller should be. Plotting reminds me of Ruth Rendell's books, and she is the best. So–BookPeople tonight for Mark Pryor and HOLLOW MAN.

Racing to the WTA Finals in Singapore!
October 15, 2015 December 14, 2015 Julian Kabat1 Comment
The top players are racing to make the final event of the each tour! This event is the most prestigious after the four Grand Slam tournaments, and it is every players at the beginning of the year to qualify. It works the same for both the ATP and the WTA. The top 8 singles players, and top 8 doubles players will make it into the draw. The actual tournament is a round robin format in singles. The players are split into two groups, and the top 2 players from each group advance to the semifinals of the single-elimination phase. The doubles at the WTA Finals and the ATP World Tour Finals follows the same format as singles. I'll put the ATP World Tour Finals aside since there is abound a month and a lot of points up for grabs.
With only 10 days out, only 4 players have enough points to ensure qualification in singles! That's ridiculous! In years past, 4 or more players would have qualified before the beginning of October. This year has been different due to the increased amount of competition in the top 20. There is very little among the players that is separating them in the rankings. There is no player, other than Serena Williams, who has had a consistently solid year. Only 3 players qualified this year before September: Serena, Simona Halep, and Maria Sharapova. However, Halep had a rough patch losing in the early rounds during the clay court and grass court seasons. Sharapova lost has played one match since losing to Serena at Wimbledon, so there is a question as to whether or not she will even be able to play.
Agnieszka Radwanska in Tianjin looking to win the title and qualify for the WTA Finals in Singapore
We already know that Serena has no plans to play due to a loss of motivation, so if Sharapova withdraws, then only one of the top 3 players will compete in Singapore. Halep has also had injury struggles recently so it is possible that the Finals will have none of the top 3 players. Alright, that is definitely a stretch, but there have been many injuries and emotional struggles throughout the season. I also plan to write that story soon as well. For now, my point is that this year's Finals is unique in that we still don't know who will be competing. Garbiñe Mugurza qualified after making the final of Beijing, and the fourth qualifier (instead of fifth due to Serena's withdrawal) was announced just yesterday: Petra Kvitova. The next two potential qualifiers are Angelique Kerber and Agnieszka Radwanska, who are guaranteed spots if they win their current tournaments in Hong Kong and Tianjin, respectively.
This week we will see tournaments in Linz, Hong Kong, and Tianjin come to an end. That will leave the tournaments in Moscow and Luxembourg as the final hopes for a handful of players who are still in reach of the Finals. For me the best bests are Kerber, Radwanska, Safarova, and either Pennetta or Bacsinszky. We will find out soon enough, and I will be looking forward to what the WTA Finals has in store.

Open Data for Genome Research: Multiplex Assays of Variant Effect (MAVE)
Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Sunday 10th of November 2019 03:15:04 PM Filed under
New, open-source database improves genomics research collaboration
Sharing datasets that reveal the function of genomic variants in health and disease has become easier, with the launch of a new, open-source database developed by Australian and North American researchers.
The MaveDB database is a repository for data from experiments - called multiplex assays of variant effect (MAVEs) - that systematically measure the impact of thousands of individual sequence variants on a gene's function.
Open-source database enhances genomics research collaboration
An open-source database of genomic variants in health and disease has been developed by Australian and North American researchers to simplify the sharing of this information between academics.
The MaveDB database stores data from multiplex assays of variant effect (MAVE) experiments, which systematically measure the impact of thousands of individual sequence variants on a gene's function. It was developed by researchers from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne, Australia, as well as the University of Washington in the US and the University of Toronto in Canada.
The MaveDB database is a repository for data from experiments – called multiplex assays of variant effect (MAVEs) – that systematically measure the impact of thousands of individual sequence variants on a gene's function. These experiments can provide valuable information about how proteins produced by that gene function, how variants in that gene may contribute to disease, and how to engineer synthetic versions of naturally occurring proteins that are more effective than the original protein.
MaveDB is the first publicly accessible database for this data. Its development was led by Alan Rubin from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, Australia, Associate Professor Douglas Fowler from the University of Washington, US, and Professor Frederick Roth from the University of Toronto, Canada.

2461 Goliath the virgin
The night started off well a good drive from South geralton to atwell, only 40 minutes. You did a good job organising the traffic. On arriving in tell it was thanks to Christmas that we found our way to the ON ON.
A good roll up of hashers. Short circle. I don't know much about through run but the master runner has done the write up for me thanks FT.
Hi Dollar
My slant on last night's run.
"a somewhat confused middle size pack (the on-on directions were incorrect again), gathered at a shopping centre in Atwell in close proximity to the DoRckers new training facility for our first virgin run of the year.
To keep in with the confusion theme, the real hashers were sent in a total misdirection which had the pack sniffing around for the trail for a good 5 minutes. The run kept us east of the freeway heading south, saw-toothing our way down Lyon Road, through new suburbs, around a few ornamental lakes and a nature reserve and eventually back along Gibbs Road to the bucket in 6-6.5km and well ahead of the "Bastard Walkers", sorry should call the "Rehabilitation Group" misled by a mifted Phantom.
The circle was another lonnnnng affair with DD for birthday boys, a clever avian Ode to Birdman, traditional bullshit from the RA and then usual scramble for the food queue chanting an off-key PH3 anthem.
Dinner was a very tasty curried sausages with boiled rice. A good first up effort from Goliath and Mumbles even though both were technically challenged with one trying to light the BBQ with matches (there is piezo button on the side) and the other stumbling in the dark mixing splash because he did not know how to turn the bucket lights on (there is a switch for that)…" ON ON
Goliath, it was a good night the snags were very moresh. Score 6.5/10 with the food 9/10!
p.s I want the recipe!

Antman loses the pack
Maybe not the best run of the year (as promised by Antman), but definitely the best run start of the year. A cheeky loop of a sports oval got us back to where we all started from.
However, a track back checkpoint a little later separated the group. I guess all groups thought they had picked the correct course.
From there onwards, there were quite a few too many long straight uphill runs (or maybe because FT was way too fit and found all the false trails well in advance for us). Nonetheless, a great workout.
Just when we thought we were too tired, we had great distraction from a magnificent group of birds squatting over for us while they were doing their personal training. Antman, you get bonus points for planning this.
We were all excited to make it to the end. A hard earned run needed a big cold beer, and the best cold we got was Vic, Victoria Bitter, oh, and ginger beer splash of course.
Great entertainment was followed, and we all had a chuckle about the AGPU 'prick of year' award'.
It was followed by a very yummy hearty meal (chicken, cocunut and rice).
Run 2459 Hamersley's 2000th
Run 2459 Millington Reserve
After braving the nearby speed camera, which some members unfortunately succumbed to, we assembled at the sports club room, along with well over a hundred members from Hammersley and other male clubs. This was because the run was also Hammersleys 2000th run, meaning that they had kindly agreed to host the evening, along with 'entertainment'. Some 40 members of PJ Animules had come down from Malaysia especially for the event, which added a touch of interest to the evening. They plastered our van with their stickers to commemorate the meeting.
At 6 pm we set off, following clear directions from Boof. The run was largely set in the Trigg Bushland Reserve, although it ventured down to the coast at one point. Natural historians might have noticed the large number of black millipedes swarming across the limestone tracks. These are Portuguese millipedes(Ommatoiulus moreletii). The Portuguese millipede naturally occurs in southwest Europe. They were first recorded in Western Australia around Roleystone in 1986 and, since the late nineties, have been found in other areas of southwest Western Australia. They are also found in South Australia, Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania and Victoria.
A welcome drink stop was laid on by Hammersley at the coastal car park. Consumption of the beverages was accompanied by a rousing rendition of the Hammersley bolero. After that we ran back to the bucket, aided by the frequent appearance of Boof, who directed us to long or short routes home. Just as we had started to run out of steam Tampax arrived on his bicycle, equipped with a ghetto blaster playing motivational music. It seemed to do the trick for some of us, although I am consistently irritated by hearing 'We will rock you' for the 1000th time.
Back at the bucket we were overjoyed to see the appearance of not just one, but eight covorting crumpets. And very fine specimens of humanity they were. I particularly liked the blond in black stockings and suspender belt, who sent my old fellow from its resting 8 inches up to a modest 12 (inches, not centimetres!). After consumption of a few beers the circle began, which was particularly noisy and peppered with f*** this and f**** that. Not really the cup of tea of most PH3 members but the frequent appearance of eye candy made the circle bearable. At 8:30 we adjourned to the club rooms for a gentlemens show. A wench dressed as a fire man appeared, along with a box of toys that I initially mistook for a shoe-shiners pedestal. Various people were singled out for participation, including at one point Seagull's son. I think the wench became concerned that she might be reported for pedophilia, as the interaction terminated pretty quickly. After a series of somewhat unhygienic acts my attention started to wane, so I retired home for a cup of Horlichs, so I am afraid I can't report on the crescendo of the show.
All in all, an epic evening. Thanks to Hammersley for laying on such a comprehensive event.
PS: (Ed) The best part was when the the 'Fire Man' wench stuffed an article of intimate aparel in Screwdriver's mouth, taped it shut then did 'wenchie' stuff to him. Screwie was very quiet for once.

Angel and Ripper in Bayswater
Many of the group felt most comfortable when arriving at our run location in Bayswater, given we were stood outside of the local Senior Citizens Centre. After an attempt by Angel to usurp Barcode's authority by welcoming everyone to the run, we eventually set off on the obligatory loop, this time with a cunningly used steep incline which thoroughly divided the pack within the first 500m. There was some concern at this point as the co-hair seemed to be on the run with us, and had no idea where to go (still trying to work that one out).
Around the streets of Baywater we went, seemingly finding every hill in the suburb. Long stretches kept the pack apart, but some good false trails and checks did bring us back together from time to time. Barcode was stopped at one point by a four-year-old on a tricycle from heading down a dodgy looking easement because, and I quote "there's double G's and needles"!!
Towards the back end of the run the pack whittled down slowly to only the four hardiest of Hash men, including, surprisingly, SCB. Seagull, far ahead as usual, somehow managed to come in 10 minutes after the rest of the runners, managing to get lost between the On Home and Home (how he was elected to Grand Master we'll never know).
On return to the bucket, Barcode was handed a 15-page description of the walk, but given it was a walk none of it is relevant given this is a run write up.
And on the circle, Birthday down downs were given to Sawbones – who provided a carton even though he didn't turn up (what a Hash man!! – and yes, I'm looking at you Neon and Boner), and Crayfish, who also provided a carton. Our Hash Horn Q was also given a down down for forgetting to bring the one thing the Hash Horn needs – the horn. Barcode forgot to acknowledge Michael, son of Horse, then delivered one of his outstanding verse's.
Dick Tracy, as fill in RA for the Fill in RA then did an outstanding job….filling in. Those Shocker supporters were reminded that their team is shit!! The Hares were given some kind of review, but given Dickie wasn't on the run it was a bit like announcing the wrong best picture at an Academy Awards ceremony. Food was rissole wraps with coleslaw, messy but tasty. All in all a good night, and a good effort by our hares.
On on,

King's Kountry has been one of the world's leading producers of macrame cord since 1977.
Originally located on Kelly Rd in what is now East Pointe, MI, we then moved to Utica on Van Dyke in 1981. That same year our first franchise was opened on Middlebelt in Livonia. In 1986 we moved back to East Pointe on Stephens, and 10 years later we settled in Yale, MI. At that time we were primarily a mail order business, so when the Internet started to take hold, the leap to an online store was automatic. King's Kountry has since become one of the premiere supplier's of macrame and craft supplies worldwide. After 37 years of managing King's Kountry, owner Curtis King handed over the torch in 2014 to his daughter Amber, who will continue to operate the business from a new location in Saint Petersburg, Florida. King's Kountry will no longer have a retail store in Yale, Michigan, but will continue to supply macramé products worldwide via mail and Internet order.


Following Egypt's landmark presidential elections over the weekend of 16 June both candidates are claiming victory while the Supreme Presidential Electoral Commission (SPEC) has delayed its announcement of the official result until 24 June.
The Muslim Brotherhood's candidate Mohammed Mursi was the first to declare victory in the days immediately after the election but his opponent – retired Egyptian aviation chief and former prime minister Ahmed Shafiq – subsequently claimed that he was in the lead.
The standoff between both camps, coupled with the delaying tactics of SPEC, has led to considerable tension in Egypt with large-scale protests taking place in Cairo's Tahrir Square, the epicentre of the revolution that toppled former president Hosni Mubarak 16 months ago.
The election commission has postponed releasing the results while it investigates claims of electoral forgery by both sides. The head of SPEC Farouk Sultan has strong links to the Mubarak regime and as such is distrusted by the Muslim Brotherhood which, together with some independent judges, estimates that Morsi has defeated Shafiq by 900,000 votes in an election where turnout was low.
There are also concerns over what is seen by many as a last-minute power grab by the nation's ruling military council which recently dissolved the Islamist-dominated parliament and assumed legislative authority itself. It also limited the powers of the future president and expanded martial law.
Meanwhile the catalyst of the situation, Mubarak, who received a life sentence on 2 June for his failure to halt the killing of protesters during last year's uprising, is reportedly on life support in a military hospital in Cairo.

In European folklore, vampires were undead beings that often visited loved ones and caused mischief or deaths in the neighbourhoods they inhabited when they were alive.
This increased level of vampire superstition in Europe led to mass hysteria and in some cases resulted in corpses being staked and people being accused of vampirism.
In modern times, the vampire is generally held to be a fictitious entity, although belief in similar vampiric creatures such as the chupacabra still persists in some cultures.
It has been argued that instead, the coin was intended to ward off any evil spirits from entering the body, and this may have influenced later vampire folklore.
This tradition persisted in modern Greek folklore about the vrykolakas, in which a wax cross and piece of pottery with the inscription "Jesus Christ conquers" were placed on the corpse to prevent the body from becoming a vampire.

Indian team was jolted with a bad news this morning as one of their star performers with the ball, Mohammed Shami has been ruled out of their third match of the World Cup 2015 tie against UAE due to a knee injury. Shami's resurgence with the ball saw India clinch back to back wins against Pakistan and South Africa and hand the defending champions a timely boost in this mega tourney.
"Mohammed Shami has got mild left knee problem and had ultrasound guided injection yesterday [Thursday] for his long-term management perspective. He won't be available for tomorrow's match against the UAE," BCCI informed the media via mail on Friday. With the bowling coming under scanner off late, Shami's revival in the pace department saw an inspired spell with the ball against Pakistan and South Africa, where he finished with figures of 4 for 35 and 2 for 30 respectively.
With Shami going under the treatment table, the door opens up for either Stuart Binny or Bhuvneshwar Kumar to return to India's XI. But the latter still hasn't recovered yet from an ankle injury and question marks remain over his fitness. MS Dhoni's men are currently top of Pool B with 4 points and will look to consolidate their position with a big win against the minnows United Arab Emirates, who have been impressive so far in this tourney but are yet to record a win in their return to the World Cup after 19 years.

L.A. GUNS' latest album, "Checkered Past", was released last November via Frontiers Music Srl. The effort marked L.A. GUNS' third album since the 2016 reunion of the band's core members Phil Lewis (vocals) and Tracii Guns (guitar). It follows 2017's "The Missing Peace" and 2019's "The Devil You Know".
In April 2021, a settlement was reached between drummer Steve Riley and Guns and Lewis over the rights to the L.A. GUNS name. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Guns and Lewis continue to operate under the L.A. GUNS trademark, while Riley and his bandmates from the other version of L.A. GUNS will now operate under the new name RILEY'S L.A. GUNS.
L.A. GUNS was formed in 1983 and have sold over six million records, including 1988's "L.A. Guns" and 1990's "Cocked And Loaded", both of which were certified gold. "Cocked And Loaded" contained the hit single "The Ballad Of Jayne" that went to No. 33 on Billboard's Hot 100 and No. 25 on the Mainstream Rock charts. From the mid-'90s to the mid 2000s, L.A. GUNS continued to tour and release new music. Following their successful performance at SiriusXM's Hair Nation festival in September 2016, L.A. GUNS went into the studio to record the critically acclaimed "The Missing Peace", which was the highest-selling release for Frontiers Music Srl in 2017. Their 12th album, "The Devil You Know", was released in 2019 to the same critical acclaim. Since reuniting, Tracii and Phil continue to tour around the world with L.A. GUNS, which currently includes Shane Fitzgibbon (drums),Johnny Martin (bass) and Ace Von Johnson (guitar).

Relax, it's just one game
The Warriors aren't worried, and you shouldn't be either
Share All sharing options for: Relax, it's just one game
Photo by Garrett Ellwood/NBAE via Getty Images
Let's make one thing clear: the Golden State Warriors got murked on Wednesday, and there's no defense for the fact that they simply decided to not show up for a closeout game against a hobbled Memphis Grizzlies team.
This is not an article in defense of the performance. It was three hours of my life that I'm not getting back, and three hours of your life that you're not getting back, and now a Friday night that we're not getting back, and we should all be annoyed.
So let's take a moment and collectively be annoyed. Humph, or garumph, or pace back and forth, or hit an inanimate object (preferably one that won't break), or listen to your favorite angry song. Come on, we'll do it together.
3, 2, 1...
OK, with that out of our collective system, let's face the reality. It was just one game, and it means next to nothing. Predictively, that is. From a descriptive standpoint it means a lot, all of it bad. But from a predictive standpoint — which is to say, what we can expect from the Warriors in Game 6, and every other playoff game they have this season — it means essentially nothing.
Our first clue should be Steph Curry smiling and Draymond Green dancing during "Whoop That Trick," after they had already embarrassed themselves on national TV and guaranteed that a Game 6 was necessary.

Our second clue should be Green's post-game sentiments, where he displayed about as much worry as I would if you were to inform me that there's a deadly snake 7,826 miles away.

Sure, it was one of the worst playoff performances in NBA history. But the Milwaukee Bucks lost by 39 points in the playoffs last year, and won the NBA Finals. And the 73-win Warriors lost back-to-back playoff games to the Oklahoma City Thunder by 28 and 24 points.
The 2016-17 championship team only lost one playoff game and it was by 21 points. The next year they won a championship after suffering a 13-point loss in the first round, a 19-point loss in the second round, and a 22-point loss in the Conference Finals.
We've seen what the Warriors look and sound like when they're not convinced they can right the ship. The entire 2020-21 season was a masterclass in that. They tried to convey confidence, but it was a pretty shoddy acting job. I've seen better performances on The Bachelor.
That's not the case this year. There's an endless supply of confidence, and a healthy dose of arrogance ... perhaps a bit too much arrogance, given Wednesday's performance. But while the arrogance may be frustrating in small doses, it's usually rewarded in the long run, because there's usually a reason for the arrogance existing in the first place.
We know who the Warriors are. They're the team that finished the regular season with the fifth-best net rating in the league, the second-best defense, and the third-most wins, despite Green missing nearly half the season, Klay Thompson missing more than half the season, and the core trio playing a grand total of 11 minutes together.
They're fine.
Be pissed at the performance, because it was awful. Be anxious about Friday's game, because it's the playoffs, and if you're not anxious you're not doing it right.
But don't think that last night's game was indicative of who the Warriors are, when we have 91 games before it that tell the actual story.
Warriors hang on in 128-120 victory over Thunder The Warriors faded late, but their hot start was enough to come away with a win.

This script lets you modify your PlayHistory, PlayCount, LastPlayedDate and SkipCount. Please click the support button for more information.
Fixed 3 known issues, including some options overlapping for some processes.
Added image type option to extraction processes.
Added new mask field for track artist and improved error handling when deleting files.
This add-on rates the songs of your library based on informations like Playcounter, DaysInLibrary, PlayedPerDay, LastPlayed and SkipCounter. This way the rating will also be increased if you listened a song with your portable player like ipod! And it is really easy to use: You only have to enable AutoRateAccurate in the MediaMonkey-Options.
This script, as requested, creates an M3U playlist for each album in your library. If you have tracks selected when you run the script then there is the option to limit the batch to just those albums. The playlists are saved in the album folder (same as folder as the first track in the album) unless you specify a playlist directory.
Added 7 extra mask fields.
Fixed filenames are converted to ASCII.
This script calculates the cover size (width multiplied by height) for all the selected tracks and stores the value in the custom field of your choice. You can choose to calculate average/maximum/minimum/first/total/count/diskspace. In order for you to be able to sort in MM (which is alphabetical) you need to add leading zeros, which you can specify on the confirmation screen that is presented.
Fixed "Don't populate..." option not working in some modes.
Added option to only update database and fixed bug with Width x Height mode.
Checks the entered playlist for duplicate tracks and removes them. If you wish to confirm each item to be removed, you need to have the confirmation option ticked in MM. Allows user to select how they want duplicates detected (track ID, artist & title, last played, file path or artist). Starts with the selected playlist and allows the option of automatically recursing through child playlists. A warning is shown if the playlist is not found, and also allows you to check the Now Playing list!
Well, this script imports m3u playlists. It searches for the filename (not the full path) in your database, so this is useful if you moved files in the playlist. Also has the option to ignore the extension in case you`ve converted your files since creating the playlist, as well as the option to ignore punctuation.
Fixed read/write lock errors and fuzzy matching of filename.
This script imports your rating tags and play statistics based on an XML file in Songbird RatingFile AddOn format (SRF).
This is a new script which creates a node under 'Files To Edit' which lists all the tracks in your current filter which do not have lyrics.
Add a quick moods list panel and a configuration form, which possibilites the user manage the current playing song moods and the moods themselves, respectively.
This script creates a menu item which appears when right clicking on a playlist. It gives you the option to randomise this playlist. There is also the option to automatically randomise playlists when selecting them in the tree.
Fixed the playlist node being fully expanded on startup.
This script allows you to import M3U files even if the filenames in the playlist do not appear in your database. It uses a progressive searching method to try and find the same track even if it has been reorganised. Now if a track cannot be selected a screen is shown with the possible candidates for the user to select one. Also a text file can be imported with strings, though this is generally less effective.
New versin better suited for MM4.
Addon allows you to manually update play statistics for tracks in your library. You can manually adjust Play Count or Last Play date for selected tracks.


Amber Resin Dosage: Follow doctor's instructions for how to use this herb.
Amber Resin Precautions: Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Do not use with yin deficiency.
Traditionally Amber Resin moves the blood and eliminates accumulations. Amber contains sedative properties that promote calmness and ease anxiety. It benefits respiratory health, eases seasonal discomforts and benefits memory. The resin is fossilized tree resin that has been buried in the ground tens of millions of years created by chemical changes. Prized for it's decorative and medicinal properties, amber has been apart of Greek and Roman mythology. The pieces are very hard, and should be stored in a sealed container.


The other day, I was asked what you should avoid when trying to make a good impression on a hiring manager. Many things (slang, casual dress, tardiness, typos, etc.) popped into my mind; but, mostly it reminded me of all the horrifying cover letters I have seen in my career. It always surprises me when those who want to get hired submit a half-hearted cover letter…or none at all. That should definitely be avoided, and cover letter brilliance embraced.
The art of the cover letter has been slowly disappearing over the last decade. Electronic submission options make it possible to submit a resume without a letter at all. While a single sentence email may be appropriate AFTER you have an established relationship, it is hardly an introduction to a hiring manager that leaves a good impression. In fact, if it is me, I may just hit delete.
It's a tight job market, so no one can afford to skimp on the finer details of resume submission etiquette. Whether you are asked to write a cover letter or not, it's a professional expectation. You should write that email like it was written and rewritten, then painstakingly typed onto top quality resume paper. And, please, quadruple-check for typos using both electronic and human resources.
A cover letter gives you an opportunity to "speak" for yourself, giving your list of work experience context. You need to keep it brief; but, what you say here tells the hiring manager a little bit about who you are…not just where you have been. When all the applicants have similar qualifications, showing a little personality in your cover letter can set you apart and trigger a call back.
Besides letting your personality shine, you should make sure the cover letter focuses on the employer's needs. Research those needs, think hard about your history, then, neatly tie them together so that you can demonstrate how hiring you is a solution they cannot refuse.
Cover letters can be a bit formulaic. When you take the time to find an original and clever way to highlight your skills with a story, a review or how you exceed their requirements, you will get noticed.
Believe it or not, many hiring managers will give more weight to the cover letter than the actual resume as long as you have the requisite skills and experience. Being able to communicate well is a part of most jobs, and what better way to demonstrate that skill than a couple of brief but well-written paragraphs?
