On a more technical note — reviews do not get duplicated — when a review for a current product already exists, it gets opened for editing (i.e. the bookmarklet informs you of that situation). Then you can proceed to remotely edit the title for that post, you can change its status from Draft to Published, and you can Trash the post (only if it is not published yet). So, shooting yourself in the foot is actively prevented. But you can try all this yourself — the plugin is free and readily available on the official WordPress Plugin Directory. I invite you to continue this talk in the Support forum. Any and all feedback would be highly appreciated. ;)
Thus, the residual income approach is better than the return on investment approach, since it accepts any investment proposal that exceeds the minimum required return on investment. Conversely, the return on investment approach tends to result in the rejection of any project whose projected return is less than the average rate of return of the profit center, even if the projected return is greater than the minimum required rate of return.
I've been writing about this since around 2006 or 2007 and I have a monthly article about "alternative income", which is what I consider blogging. You could say it's another term for "50% passive." No one would confuse it with collecting dividends from a dividend ETF, but at the same time, you can take a week off and still earn a certain percentage or baseline of what you may earn if you wrote actively.
In the blogging world it's common to hear other bloggers talking about ways to make income. One of those ways is by using affiliate links. An affiliate link is a link with a tracking code; when a person clicks on that link and buys the product you get a commission on that purchase. Affiliate links are a great way to make passive income (see how much I make with affiliate income per month.)
Once again, though, it's like starting any company. While you might not necessarily need to know how to code, you do need an entrepreneurial mindset, work ethic, and personality type, and you'll probably struggle for years, going through a string of failures before you finally get it right. If you're successful, though, the passive income potential is enormous.
In equity valuation, residual income represents an economic earnings stream and valuation method for estimating the intrinsic value of a company's common stock. The residual income valuation model values a company as the sum of book value and the present value of expected future residual income. Residual income attempts to measure economic profit, which is the profit remaining after the deduction of opportunity costs for all sources of capital.
The Four Hour Work Week – The book speaks to the value of time and how to leverage it. He encourages you to create a business that supports your lifestyle. I also love his concept of having mini-retirements along the way, rather than waiting for someday when you have the time but not the health. There are some step-by-step guides in the book that are extremely interesting to read. It's definitely changed the way I look at work. Here's a full review.
The term "residual income" refers to the income that someone makes after their work has already been completed. An example of residual income is the earnings an author continues to make on a book after it has been published, when fans continue to purchase copies years later. Residual income is ideal because it is money that is being earned while doing nothing in the present moment to earn that money.
The net operating income is the amount of money that has been made once all of the person's expenses have been subtracted from it. For instance, in order for an author to determine his net operating income, he would have to deduct the costs involved in creating the book from the amount that he earned. Designing the book cover, editing the book, and publishing the book are all examples of these kinds of expenses.
Admittedly, there are 100s of books out there covering the exact same stuff, but what I like about this – and in a similar vein to Get Rich Click – it's the comprehensive listing and side-by-side comparison of all the different techniques and tips that I freaking love. Once again, I know all the stuff in this book pretty well now, but I still run over it frequently to jog my memory and use it to work out whether I've covered all my bases – kind of like a checklist in that sense.

Leo George BECKER et al., petitioners, v. PHILCO CORPORATION.
389 U.S. 979 (88 S.Ct. 408, 19 L.Ed.2d 473)
Decided: December 4, 1967
dissent, WARREN [HTML]
dissent, DOUGLAS [HTML]
Robert Sheriffs Moss, for petitioners.
Laidler B. Mackall and Karl E. Wolf, for respondent.
Petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
Mr. Chief Justice WARREN, dissenting.
This is an important case affecting the rights of millions of workers to vindicate their reputations and to make a living in the military-private industrial complex. See Greene v. McElroy, 360 U.S. 474, 507, n. 31, 79 S.Ct. 1400, 3 L.Ed.2d 1377 (1959).
According to petitioners, this case presents the following question:
'Is a government contractor endowed with the attributes of a Federal Agency and is it and are its employees clothed with unqualified or absolute privilege to falsely and maliciously defame other employees in reporting a loss, compromise, or suspected compromise of classified information, solely by reason of (1) having contracted with the United States Government to furnish it with supplies or services which are required and necessary to the National Defense, and (2) in connection therewith having entered into a security agreement with the United States Government under the terms of which it has agreed to report the loss, compromise, or suspected compromise of classified information.' Petition for Cert., p. 2.
Petitioners brought this action against respondent Philco Corporation, their employer, for an alleged defamation made in a report to the Department of Defense under the terms of a contract for the manufacture of defense items. The complaint alleged that the report contained both false and malicious statements concerning petitioners and resulted in the withdrawal of their security clearances and thus the loss of their jobs. On respondent's motion for summary judgment, the District Court dismissed the complaint, holding the communication absolutely privileged. 234 F.Supp. 10 (D.C.E.D.Va.1964). Placing unjustified reliance on the authority of the principal opinion in Barr v. Matteo, 360 U.S. 564, 79 S.Ct. 1335, 3 L.Ed.2d 1434 (1959), the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed. 372 F.2d 771 (C.A. 4th Cir. 1967). In granting an absolute privilege to government employees at the expense of the individual's right to be free from defamation, Barr v. Matteo extended the earlier decisions of this Court to what I and others considered to be the breaking point. That opinion did not command a majority of this Court then, and only one of those who joined it is on this Court today. The conclusion there was reached by balancing
'* * * on the one hand, the protection of the individual citizen against pecuniary damage caused by oppressive or malicious action on the part of officials of the Federal Government; and on the other, the protection of the public interest by shielding responsible governmental officers against the harassment and inevitable hazards of vindictive or ill-founded damages suits brought on account of action taken in the exercise of their official responsibilities.' Barr v. Matteo, supra, 360 U.S. at 565, 79 S.Ct. at 1336.
The deprivation of the employee's rights in the present case is justified in the following manner: By Executive Order, the Secretary of Defense is empowered through regulations to safeguard classified information. 1 Pursuant to that power, the Secretary has issued an Industrial Security Manual which requires contractors to protect all classified information by maintaining a system of security controls and to report any loss, compromise, or suspected compromise of that information to the Department of Defense. 2 The Secretary enters into a Security agreement with his contractors to implement the provisions of the Manual. The Secretary does not attempt to clothe the contractor with any immunity from a civil action for damages caused by defamatory reports.
From this scheme to protect classified information, the court below took the additional and unwarranted step of conferring an absolute privilege on the corporation.
'So it was that the company and such of its employees as were confidants were answerable for keeping the nation's secrets, as fully as if they were governed by the oath of a Federal official. Closely performing his duties and charged with equal responsibility and layalty, we think the company and its trusted personnel were imbued with the official's character, and partake of his immunity to liability, whenever and wherever he would enjoy the absolute privilege.' 372 F.2d 771, 774.
No authority is quoted for this statement for the obvious reason that there is none.
I do not cast any doubt on the general powers of the Secretary of Defense in safeguarding classified information, nor on the Executive Order, nor on the Industrial Manual, nor on the Security Agreement entered into in this case. None of these are pertinent to our decision. Nor is the truth or falsity of the allegation that Philco maliciously or falsely defamed the petitioners of any relevance. 3 All the case involves is whether a private corporation under a security agreement with the Government is entitled to an absolute privilege to report with 'actual malice' information to the Government that results in the deprivation of the worker's employment and reputation.
We have not granted to private citizens a blanket immunity from legal liability for defaming public officials. Instead, we have held that a public official may recover for defamatory falsehoods relating to his official conduct if he can prove the statement was made with 'actual malice.' New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254, 84 S.Ct. 710, 11 L.Ed.2d 686 (1964). I can see absolutely no justification for granting to a corporation contracting with the Government a greater privilege to defame than we have accorded to private citizens in commenting upon the conduct of public officials. This seems to me to be a complete inversion of First Amendment rights. A qualified privilege is clearly sufficient in both situation to protect the paramount public interest in the free flow of information.
I disagreed with Barr v. Matteo, but even in that case it was said there were 'other sanctions than civil tort suits available to deter the executive official' from making defamatory statements in press releases. 360 U.S. 564, 576, 79 S.Ct. 1335, 1342. None of those 'other sanctions' are present in the instant case. While a defamatory press release might subject the government official to both public censure and internal discipline from his superiors, the secrecy surrounding Philco's communication insulates the defamer from such sanctions. Since the Department of Defense has no disciplinary power over the employees of a private corporation for defamatory statements, internal sanctions are unlikely. It will also be much more difficult for the Department of Defense to recognize a malicious and false libel prepared by a private concern doing business with the Government. It follows then that even assuming, arguendo, that internal reports made by a governmental employee to his superior should have an absolute privilege since the superior will be able to evaluate the accuracy of a statement concerning conditions within his own department, this does not justify extending the privilege to communications from private corporations. Thus, the privilege has been conferred in this case without the normal concomitants of such protection, leaving the employee's reputation highly vulnerable to injury by a corporate executive who has no direct responsibility to the public.
It is difficult for me to understand why the importance of this case is not apparent to the Court. Personally, I cannot countenance this indiscriminate extension of Barr v. Matteo. I would grant certiorari and invite the Government to make known its opinion of what the national interest might be.
Mr. Justice DOUGLAS, dissenting.
I agree with THE CHIEF JUSTICE that this is an important case which warrants the attention of the Court. It puts into focus several important issues, among them an aspect of the modern corporation which has become vital in the Federal Government's procurement program. Professor Galbraith has referred to it in his recent book The New Industrial State:
'Increasingly it will be recognized that the mature corporation, as it develops, becomes part of the larger administrative complex associated with the state. In time the line between the two will disappear. Men will look back in amusement at the pretense that once caused people to refer to General Dynamics and North American Aviation and A. T. & T. as private business.
'Though this recognition will not be universally welcomed, it will be healthy. There is always a presumption in social matters in favor of reality as opposed to myth. The autonomy of the technostructure is, to repeat yet again, a functional necessity of the industrial system. But the goals this autonomy serves allow some range of choice. If the mature corporation is recognized to be part of the penumbra of the state, it will be more strongly in the service of social goals. It cannot plead its inherently private character or its subordination to the market as cover for the pursuit of different goals of particular interest to itself. The public agency has an unquestioned tendency to pursue goals that reflect its own interest and convenience and to adapt social objective thereto. But it cannot plead this as a superior right. There may well be danger in this accociation of public and economic power. But it is less if it is recognized.' Id., at 393-394.
I think the time has come for us to explore this problem; and the setting of the present case shows how pressing the problem is.

The penalization method is used to take account of obstacles in a tokamak, such as the limiter. We study a non linear hyperbolic system modelling the plasma transport in the area close to the wall. A penalization which cuts the transport term of the momentum is studied. We show numerically that this penalization creates a Dirac measure at the plasma-limiter interface which prevents us from defining the transport term in the usual sense. Hence, a new penalty method is proposed for this hyperbolic system and numerical tests reveal an optimal convergence rate without any spurious boundary layer.

Engagement Can Improve Human Rights in Iran Says Parliamentarian
Watch the full event video at c-span.org
Washington, DC – "We should be very careful that there is not some sort of zero sum equation between focusing only on the nuclear issue and forgetting about the plight of the Iranian people who live under systematic and difficult repression," observed Marietje Schaake, a member of the European Parliament and human rights expert, speaking at the Atlantic Council.
Schaake, who recently visited Iran for five days as part of an official EU delegation, advocated that channels for engagement with Iran be expanded to address issues beyond the nuclear file–including regional areas of mutual interest and concerns regarding human rights.
Schaake's delegation met with officials of different political stripes, including two of the Larijani brothers who are prominent leaders of Iran's conservative bloc, as well as human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh. They presented Sotoudeh and Jaffar Panahi with the EU's highest human rights award, the Sakhrov Prize. That meeting sparked a firestorm in hardline media.
The EU delegation presents Sotoudeh and Panahi with the Sakhrov Prize.
"We should make it clear to our domestic audience who is responsible for what developments in Iran," she said, explaining that that "the hardliners in Iran, the judiciary, and the high numbers of executions are very much also intended to undermine the efforts of the reformists."
She said that the best approach is through expanding dialogue as well as by "bolstering civil society in Iran, but also a private sector–which can be really effective in counterbalancing those at the top who hold so many resources."
"The greatest capital in Iran is the human capital," said Schaake. "It was remarkable how much energy and how much a sense of optimism one got from the streets," she said. "I have honestly never felt so welcomed in any country that I've visited." While Schaake noted that previous attempts to organize EU delegation visits had been difficult over the past several years and often scuttled at the last minute, she said the "new opening" created by the election of President Hassan Rouhani enabled her and four other European parliamentarians to finally visit this past December.
With regard to the new government's promises to address limits on personal freedoms in Iran, Schaake said that "there was a great sense of a less tangible securitized environment" and that many Iranians told her that "the morality police that deals with clothing was less present, that the atmosphere in the street was much lighter than it used to be."
However, she said that, until systematic changes are made to the laws themselves, these positive gestures can be reversed within an instant. Repressive laws can make anyone a target, Schaake observed, and help empower hardline elements including security forces, the Revolutionary Guards, and the Judiciary, while perpetuating an insecure relationship between Iranians and the state.
Schaake was also asked at the event about continued reports of medicine shortages in Iran. She noted that the preliminary nuclear agreement negotiated with Iran included a provision to establish a a humanitarian banking channel, but that "most banks are still hesitant to facilitate these transactions." She said that Iranian government mismanagement was also to blame for shortages, but that U.S. extraterritorial sanctions made EU efforts to facilitate humanitarian trade difficult. If the U.S. and Europe fail to establish a humanitarian channel, she said, it would be a major mistake. "If we agree to lift sanctions, we have to also make it practically implementable."
A centrist when it comes to the EU's Iran policy, Schaake advocated for a unified effort among the European states to push open the window for diplomacy, and is recommending that the EU establish official diplomatic representation in Iran. In her view, action by EU states to advance diplomacy will ultimately benefit the Iranian people. "It is upon those of us who believe reforms will benefit the Iranian people to try to do everything we can to make them happen," she observed, "of course very well realizing that those who seek reform are not the only ones in power in Iran, and that it is very much an uphill battle, but one that is worth pursuing."

Earplugs can protect your hearing from being exposed to damaging sound levels. Knowing which earplugs are right for you, however, is what can make picking your new pair difficult. And there are plenty of options to choose from. Below, you'll find some of the more common questions and topics pertaining to reusable earplugs. Pore over the information and use it to find the earplugs that fit you best.
What are the advantages of using reusable earplugs?
The most apparent benefit of using a reusable earplug is that, unlike a disposable one, you'll be able to easily get multiple wears out of it. Reusable earplugs are designed with added durability in mind, making it possible to wear them more than once (although, some disposable earplugs stand up well to multiple uses). Since they degrade slower than disposable earplugs, they're typically made with a more resilient design and material. And some reusable earplugs, such as these Moldex Camo Rockets, are made to be washable.
All of this adds up to significant savings for wearers. If you can get two or three times as many uses out of a reusable earplug – as compared to a disposable one – then you will save the cost of one or two disposable boxes before your reusable box is emptied (assuming both are priced equally).
When searching for a disposable earplug, what should I look for?
Your disposable earplug should be chosen based on your particular needs. Not everyone will require an earplug that offers the highest levels of hearing protection. Some people, for example, will require flanged earplugs that allow sound to pass through them. Frequently referred to as "Hi-Fi" earplugs, these are typically worn by musicians that want to reduce surrounding sound levels while still being able to identify bass and treble notes. These EAR Arc Plugs are double-sided, with the yellow side letting a slightly reduced amount of sound through and the red side offering an NRR of 22 db.
You must also consider whether or not your earplugs are liable to fall out. If you're going to be wearing them in an environment that may make it difficult to keep them inserted inside your ear canals, you should considered a banded or corded earplug option. Both of these will help your earplugs stay securely in place.
How are disposable and reusable earplugs different?
Disposable earplugs and reusable ones are not so dissimilar. They both can offer the same level of hearing protection, comfort and other features. The major difference, however, is in how they stand up to wear. A disposable earplug will degrade quicker than a reusable one, and that is what accounts for the biggest difference between the two. Outside of this, disposable and reusable earplugs both offer excellent levels of hearing protection (we have earplugs that have an NRR up to 33 db), corded options, banded options and more.
Aside from being reusable versus disposable, earplugs can differ in a few additional ways. Some earplugs are metal detectable for food processing environments. When a workplace can't risk having earplugs enter the production process, they need them to be detectable to prevent them from entering the product. Another added feature that some earplugs have is a cord or a band. A cord is the more flexible version of a band, designed to prevent your earplugs from falling out. A band is the more rigid version of a cord, as it wraps around your head with a hard plastic band.
The shape of an earplug also affects its properties. A push-in style ear plug, like this EAR Push-Ins Earplug with Grip Rings, will offer hassle-free insertion and removal. Some foam options, on the other hand, may be trickier to insert and remove. Additionally, the shape of an earplug will impact how well it is able to stay secure within the ear canal.
Is there a special way to insert foam earplugs?
Some foam earplugs require you to follow a simple process in order to properly insert them into the ear canal. This is known as the roll, pull and hold method. To begin, roll the foam earplug in between your fingers to compress it. Once you've done this, grab the lobe of your ear and gently pull back on it to better expose the ear canal. Finally, insert the earplug into the ear and hold it deep within the ear canal with your finger.
What is an NRR rating and why should I care?
The NRR rating that all earplugs come with corresponds with its ability to muffle noise. An NRR rating of 30 means that the earplug can reduce outside noise by 30 decibels. Most people would struggle to identify a difference of a single decibel. However, the discrepancy between earplugs can sometimes be drastic, making it imperative for you to find one that provides sufficient noise reduction. At Enviro Safety Products, we carry earplugs that offer NRR ratings as high as 33 decibels, such as this EARsoft FX Corded Earplug (disposable).
There's too much earplug jargon. What does it all mean?
Corded – This simply means that both earplugs are joined by a cord, which is added to help keep them from falling out of your ears. This pair of Howard Leight AirSoft earplugs is an excellent example of the corded feature.
Banded – A rigid plastic band with an earplug on each of its ends. It fits around your head tightly and ensures that your earplugs stay securely in place.
Metal detectable – Many work environments, such as the food processing industry, can not risk the possibility of earplugs entering the production process. As such, metal is added into this type of earplug in order to make them detectable in the event that they fall out of their wearers' ears and enter production.
Push-in – These earplugs are easy to insert and remove. Simply push them in and they will stay securely in place.
As a company, we're dedicated to our customers. Part of that means having the lowest possible prices and lightning-quick shipping. Another significant component of that is about having the largest selection available – and we believe that our inventory of reusable earplugs is hard to beat. Once you shop with us once, you'll never want to shop anywhere else. And you can find all of the other hearing safety gear that you want in our hearing protection department.

Government Launched the First Rocket, but Private Companies Made It Affordable
May 14, 2016 Free Markets and Capitalism
Fans of increased government intervention in the economy often like to justify their position by pointing to the success of the moon landing. "If we can put a man on the moon," the refrain goes, "we can surely rebuild our crumbling infrastructure (or provide everyone with healthcare, etc.)."
There's no question the moon landing was a fantastic achievement.
But there's also no question that it was extremely expensive. The Apollo program, for instance, cost about $100 billion in today's money.
Skeptics of government intervention point to such massive costs of government programs to argue that it's not that government cannot do things, but it's just that it costs us all so much more when they do.
In the new Learn Liberty video below, Nebraska College of Law Professor Gus Hurwitz explains how, today, it's private enterprise that is taking space exploration to the next level. For example, Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Galactic, sells tickets to take people into space for $250,000. Elon Musk built his own rocket at a fraction of the cost of NASA's.
Such private space exploration will be more efficient and more focused than the government's space program. "And that's the beauty of the free market," says Professor Hurwitz. "It encourages smart risk-taking that produces incredible, unexpected new technologies and discoveries."
This is true about the space economy and beyond.
Editor's Note: Unfortunately, many private companies still receive government support. SpaceX, for instance, received $20 million from the government to build new facilities in Texas. However, as a private company, SpaceX still has to win contracts and prove its value to private investors. If it fails to do so, it will lose money or be beaten by competitors.
That's why, despite the government support, SpaceX pushed itself to create a rocket that cost far less than the one NASA had already developed. Clearly, this is a huge improvement over government monopoly, and one can only imagine how much more growth would occur if government stopped interfering in the private sector altogether.

The 40-day Spiritual Festival is a time period when students in the Himalayan Yoga Tradition undertake special spiritual practices to refine their meditation and lifestyles in preparation for Guru Purnima (July 22nd). The 40 day Spiritual Festival will start 13th June 2013 and go until 22nd July 2013, which is Guru Purnima.
Swami Rama has said, "This day, the day of Guru Purnima is considered to be the holiest day for the students of life; for those that have been treading the path of light; for those aspiring to attain enlightenment in this lifetime. They remember this day and celebrate it by becoming aware the purpose of life is to attain enlightenment; the state of mind, internal state, that makes one free from all pains and miseries. So as you celebrate other days like Father's Day, Mother's Day, this is a little bit different, it is very auspicious. The student mentally, religiously follows the spiritual teaching imparted by the Tradition. For the Tradition is considered to be highest. It is a Tradition that follows truth, that leads one to the highest peak of wisdom."

"Episode 1" Minkie Spiro Teleplay by : Charlotte Stoudt March 4, 2022 (2022-03-04)
After a brief scene showing a young girl hiding inside of a run down wooden structure. In the present Andrea (Andy) and Laura Oliver have lunch at a diner for Andy's birthday. While they're eating, Shelly and her mother approach their table to discuss her father's progress under Laura's speech therapy. An estranged young man shoots Shelly and her mother while Laura rushes to Andy, pulling her to the ground. He then shoots an elderly man who is trying to call the police. Mistaking Andy's 911 uniform for a police uniform, the shooter expects to commit suicide by cop, gets frustrated when Laura informs him she answers the phones for the police. Laura begs the shooter to shoot her rather than Andy, but before he can shoot Laura, she pushes the gun away, causing him to miss his last shot. He then pulls a knife and stabs Laura through her hand before she slits his throat with the knife still in her hand. As the EMTs arrive, Laura is afraid "he" is coming back, and asks Andy not to speak to the police. After having surgery in the hospital, Laura tries to get Andy to leave town and "grow up", only meaning to get her safely away from her, knowing what was coming. A man is shown walking out of a large estate and is overheard saying "we've got a problem, it's her" on the phone. After waking up in the middle of the night and packing a bag, Andy drops her phone in the garage, while looking for it a man peers through the window, after hearing glass shatter she follows him into the house where he is trying to suffocate Laura. Andy hits the man over the head, and a struggle for the gun ensues, before she hits him over the head again knocking him unconscious. She quickly cuts Laura free, before being instructed to go through his pockets while she pulls out a bag with money, a key card, and a phone. She tells Andy to take his car to a storage unit in Carrollton, GA where she has another car, which she should take to Camden, ME and to wait for her call. While rushing to find the attacker's car in the rain, she notices a rabbit's foot hanging from the rear view of a vehicle before finding the right truck and driving into the night.
"Episode 2" Minkie Spiro Anna Fishko March 4, 2022 (2022-03-04)
After stopping at a gas station and buying supplies, the cashier notices the blood on her hand when handing her the change, she awkwardly rushes out to the truck, and washes the blood off while being overlooked by the cashier. Arriving in Carrollton Andy uses a library computer to look up directions to the Get-Em-Go and to Camden. On her way out she notices a hooded man peering into the window of the truck, she rushes out the rear fire exit and finds her way to the storage unit while the hooded man heads into the library. Once at the storage unit she find her mothers old wagon, with a gun in the glove box, some supplies in the hatch, and a suitcase of a large amount of cash with several fake IDs and a photo of her mothers youth that shows the cut that formed her mothers scar. Continuing her trip she checks into a small motel for the night. Meanwhile her mother reaches out to her ex husband, Gordon, for help, when he arrives she shows him the intruder tied up in a closet. Asking for his help to get them to the intruders meet point hoping to catch a glimpse at who he's meeting. He reluctantly agrees, though along the way the attacker dies in the car. Gordon sends Laura home in a cab so he can bury the body alone. Racked by questions of her mothers past, Andy goes to a bar across the street where she confides in a stranger the feelings regarding her mothers secretes before asking to teach her to use the gun she found in the car, he reluctantly agrees. Meanwhile, her mother is desperate for a way to reach the man from her past who wants her dead, reaches out to the reporter in the news van outside her home, and agrees to an interview on the Today Show the next morning. After learning to shoot, Andy and the man walk to his truck together where she notices the same rabbit's foot hanging, panicked, she heads to the motel room, continually checking over her shoulder only to see him watching her the whole way, once inside she quickly reloads the handgun, unsure of what's next.

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 50% approval rating with an average rating of 5.7/10, based on 34 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "While Toni Collette heroically tries to bring Pieces of Her together, this lumbering mystery is too bogged down by backstory to satisfyingly cohere."[19] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 52 out of 100 based on 18 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[20]
Angie Han writing for The Hollywood Reporter praised Collette's performance throughout the series as "fascinating to watch". Han also noted that the series eventually "loses steam" after the first three episodes, describing Heathcote's character as merely "a mechanism propelling the narrative forward" with little to no character development.[21]

The Coalboat Kid – A Conversation with Pat Larkin
Pat Larkin has been in the Irish music scene for over 30 years, starting his career with Mod heroes The Blades and moving through many successful bands since. More recently he has moved into film; writing, producing and directing his own short films. Irish News Review caught up with him recently ahead of the premiere of his latest short "The Answer Machine" later this month.
IrishNewsReview: So, The Blades, I suppose we should start there and work our way on. What was it like being in the music scene in the 70s/80s?
Pat Larkin: When we started in 1979, it was just after the Miami (Showband) had been shot, and we were starting out. We used to be up the north and playing the venues they used to be playing. We were so stupid really because we were young lads from the south, all had tight haircuts, we were travelling in an ex-army van we had bought and we were using CB radios to talk to others on the road and we had a load of petrol cans in case we ran out. Problem was, the I.R.A were using radios to stay in touch, and it was a dangerous time back then, and of course they had tanks of petrol for petrol bombs. We were mad. At the time we thought it was great fun but there's no way I'd do that now.
INR: Sounds like you were living on the edge Pat?
PL: Yeah but we were 19 or 20 and we thought it was great fun, it was great craic to us at the time. We'd be stopped at checkpoints and be laughing at soldiers. We thought nothing of it but now it's clear how naïve we were.
INR: So you found The Blades had success up in Northern Ireland, was there a polar contrast between the north and south from a music scene perspective at the time? Were they ahead in Northern Ireland while we all played catch up?
PL: The funny thing is, we were travelling up, to Derry I remember particularly and we were dressing like The Jam and bands like that, and everyone around wore flares and Rory Gallagher type gear, like they were stuck in a time warp. But they were listening to Stiff Little Fingers at the same time. They were ahead in music in some ways, but culturally they were a little behind.
INR: From a genre perspective, The Blades have a Mod branding on them but at the time, was that a goal or is Mod a loose genre that people throw onto in between type bands?
PL: Well at the time we were trying to lean more towards the likes of Elvis Costello and The Police, we thought we were more New Wave.
INR: So do you become Mod or do your fans turn you into Mod?
PL: Turned into, completely. We dressed New Wave, looked up to New Wave bands but then along came Quadrophenia and Mod just became so much bigger and more bands got branded with it. Around the time I was moving towards leaving the band, the Mods in Dublin started to latch onto The Blades, and the band started playing the TV Club and embracing the Mod fans. We sort of got lumped in with Mod, but we were happy to embrace it.
INR: You mention the fact that you left The Blades, what were the origins of the band and what led to your departure?
PL: Well the band started out with the Cleary brothers, Lar and Paul, and myself. We had some other members come and go but we were the originals. It's funny, our biggest problem when we started out was having nowhere to rehearse, and I was working for a gas company at the time so I had this tiny little van. Lar and Paul would write songs and record them on a tape recorder, then they'd give it to me and I'd rehearse with two drumsticks in the van. There were times we'd play a song at a gig and it would be the first time we'd ever played it together! We got a manager, posh English accent so we of course thought that means he must be good, but I never really got along with him, that was the start of me thinking of leaving. But we started winning awards, the IMRO awards and that, and the next logical step was Top Of The Pops. U2 had just been on it, Dave Fanning was already the guru for UK scouts asking what's big and he would say U2 and The Blades. It was all going to plan. We had a Top Of The Pops slot lined up, but then our manager headed over to organise it and came back to tell us it didn't work out. So I politely told him to "go f**k yourself" because that had been our in, there was an Irish producer working on TOTP and that bridge was now, not burned but spent. There has to be a natural progression in a band, single, gigs, album, TV and I didn't see it happening now so I left. But it was all amicable.
INR: How does it feel to have left the band at that point? Especially to see that they did go on and achieved somewhat larger success than you had experienced with them?
PL: Well they never played Top Of The Pops (laughs). No I thought we had gone as far as we could in Ireland, so when the first step to the UK went backwards I got a bit disillusioned. It ended well though, Paul Cleary was my best friend, and he was best man at my wedding, my daughter's Godfather. We stayed friends, which was great. I even let them use my drum kit until their new drummer got one himself! I went on to join a band called The Peridots and from then onto a band called The Temps, who ended up supporting The Blades one night! I went on to a load of other bands through the years, The Subterraneans, a Rockabilly band called The Handsome Devils. I love music, and I was just always happy to be involved in it.
INR: It's certainly a storied career Pat, and one that's still going, but in your opinion, you've talked about how much fun the band used to have. For a young band nowadays, do you think that's still there, and is it easier or harder for new young bands to try and make it all happen?
PL: Well, a band now without any money can make a record and make a video. That was impossible in the eighties. You can do it all on your bleeding laptop now. But it all reminds me of the eighties when drum machines came in and everyone said "that's it, we don't need drummers anymore" and then synths took off in a big way and people said the same about guitarists. Bands nowadays need to be good, which is obvious. But there's too much scope for anyone who wants to record and publish themselves today, so the good bands need to stand out even more.
INR: It seems that there is a new level of fame today, anyone can be famous via the internet. If your video goes viral or you have enough hits. Now you need to have a group of people attach themselves to your star as it rises like the Blades with the Mods…
PL: …Well you'll never make a living now playing for the Mods because there all too bloody old now and have kids and babysitters to arrange. They don't go to live gigs every week. They do run a lot of gigs for charities though. I'm still in touch with the Mod crowd. A new generation has to take over now as an example there is a band around at the moment, GANGS, and they're doing the well dressed Mod type look, but they're not Mods. Yet the genre is embracing them, and that's great. But they'll have their sights set on a bigger audience, without leaving these guys behind and they're good enough that they can and will do it, but it definitely helps them to have that early level of fame from dedicated fans.
INR: You've certainly been through any and every avenue of music in your career..
PL: …and every genre except jazz, I never liked jazz. To me, jazz drumming is about showing off and letting everyone know how versatile you are but drumming to me is all about keeping rhythm, keep it simple and just keep the beat. My drum kit, after my first two years of playing I only played with a snare, bass drum and floor tom, never had toms. I never did a solo! My belief is the drummer should just be a rhythm section, he and the bass player should just be tight as f**k and that's it. Drummers now can try show off too much, it's an egotistical thing. We won't name names!
INR: Moving on from music, you've found yourself in the filmmaking business now, how did you end up behind a camera instead of a drum kit?
PL: First of all, I was writing short stories, and I got a job driving the playwright Conor McPherson when he was shooting a movie. I got chatting and told him about a short story I'd written, about a bunch of kids growing up in Ringsend, fairly autobiographical of myself. He encouraged me to write more and eventually I ended up with a collection of short stories that I put together as "The Coalboat Kids and Other Stories". From there I continued driving actors on sets for a living and then I joined a co-op in Filmbase called "The Attic", basically a bunch of creative like minds who want to make film and TV. They helped me film a fifteen minute pilot for a potential "Coalboat Kids" series. I went raising funds and got it done, it didn't get picked up unfortunately but it started me off on this journey now, I'm on my third short film now (The Answer Machine) and I just love it.
INR: And how does the lifestyle compare to the music days? Anything like the Northern Ireland escapades?
PL: Here's an amazing random thing that happened. I was driving American director John Schultz when he was filming over here (The Honeymooners) and he had been in the band The Connells, and funnily enough he had left the band a few years before their massive hit "'74-'75" so we had plenty to talk about. I had written a feature script and usually when you're finished driving someone you get them a gift for your time together, well he was a massive U2 fan so I arranged vinyl copies of all of U2's singles for him and brought him to Windmill Lane Studios and everything so as a thank you he offered to bring me over to Hollywood to stay with him and see if we could shop the feature script around. So off I went and I stayed with him in his house in the Hollywood Hills for a month! I thought he was joking but sure enough the tickets then arrive in the door! I wrote a diary while I was there as well and I had arranged with the Irish Times to be a correspondent documenting the trip, so everyone over there then knew me as "Irish Times correspondent Pat Larkin" so they were all mad to throw sessions and parties, it was one of the best months of my life! Unfortunately nothing came of the script in the end, though I did meet with a production company but I didn't agree with the vision they had for it. But there you go, a completely random chance event.
INR: So what is next then? Film the feature yourself or continue the short movie scene?
PL: I've no money to fund that kind of scale unfortunately, but my next plan is to make an animated film, which is still extremely expensive. But I'm 58 this year, I've finally accepted that it's time to give up being a rock star…
INR: That's comforting so, that's the cut off age for rock and roll dreaming?
PL: …I was still playing in a band called The Mosquitoes up to about four or five years ago, waiting to be discovered! But I got fed up waiting to be discovered…and carrying drum kits up stairs. But I've just decided that now I have no restrictions. With a roof over my head I can write a book, I can make shorts I can write stories, whatever I want and it's great. I'm about to publish my second book. I'm extremely happy to be able to do all of this.
INR: And do you look for reward from these projects? Film festivals, book circuits?
PL: I've submitted to film festivals but I'm happy to see myself learn with each project. I think festivals have been ruined now, like the music and internet argument, there's just too much. Every single person in the world that fancies their chances can submit their film and it's just flooded now, when a lot of what is submitted isn't worth it.
INR: Do you think there's a bit of a clique in the market?
PL: Definitely, in the sense that it just seems to be far too difficult to get any sort of foot in. It's a tough business, same as music, but it doesn't need to be as tough as it is. I approached the Irish Film Board for development funding, basically a bursary to help you finish your script, and the response I got was that my script wasn't developed enough! I'm happy to work with just the friends who I have willing to work with me, for free, and help me. I've an absolute genius of a cameraman, I use a composer called Mick Kiely who's fantastic with scores. Everyone is extremely serious with their commitment and I just have fun doing it all.
INR: Back to music briefly, anything today that in your opinion compares to the scene from back in the time of The Blades?
PL: It's not necessarily what I like, but folk is definitely in. The likes of Little Green Cars, Mumford and Sons and others they're all cleaning up at the moment, I'm off tonight to see "Inside Llewyn Davis", all filled with folk music of course. I mentioned GANGS earlier on, I'm enjoying what they're doing and there's other bands on the scene that are doing things right, but the scene is on the opposite side at the moment, so for these bands not jumping onto the folk band wagon they'll need to be exceptionally good to stay alive on the scene, so they can break through.
INR: Finally any advice for youngsters today wanting to start a band?
PL: Definitely play in a band. Can't say anything else but that, I was the shyest youngster you could meet, I only played the drums because I could hide behind them. I'd never been into town before, I'd never even been out of Ringsend and next thing I was in every town in the country! It's an experience you can't beat.

Numerai, a hedge fund started in late 2015 by mathematician Richard Craib. The new Numerai cryptocurrency comprises digital tokens that allow crowdsourcing of literary anything. Cryptocurrencies are essentially internet based assets used to finance any purchase or endeavor – much like the already popular bitcoin.
Introducing Numeraire from Numerai on Vimeo.
The complete novelty with numeraire is the principle to which one can accumulate it. In contrast to the conventional idea of people and market players competing adversarially to acquire more of a particular currency, numeraire bets on networking and collaboration.
The Numerai hedge fund allows data scientists to create trading algorithms that are applied by Numerai's AI-powered trading system. A few thousand researchers can thus win bitcoins for their successful efforts. It may come across as both somewhat complicated and unlikely as a winning concept, but Craib claims that the hedge fund is already in the black.
"Because Numerai data scientists do not know what our data represents, human biases and overfitting are overcome. Numerai does not know what algorithms our data scientists are using because data scientists only upload predictions—their code and intellectual property remains theirs. This trustless relationship between Numerai and our data scientists is facilitated by encryption, and anonymity," reads the explanation of Numerai philosophy on the fund's website.
Here is how it works: Numerai shares encrypted trading data with scientists preventing them from mimicking real trades, but allowing researchers to build improved trade models. This results in a very human approach toward problem solving: the creator of a winning strategy is very unlikely to share it with others or collaborate with third parties to develop it further. A winning model is rewarded with bitcoins.
That is why Craib decided to introduce the new concept of numeraire, which is based on collaboration between participating scientists and the hedge fund itself. Craib's logic is quite simple: make it profitable for the scientists not only to compete for winning models, but also to invest into the fund alongside that. As the fund grows, scientists' investments also grow.
Numerai distributed a million numeraire among some 12,000 data scientists. Each of them is allowed to bet on their own trade models and win bitcoins if their model is successful. If a scientist's trade is not successful, the hedge fund cancels their numeraire. The fund thus introduces incentives for those investing through numeraire and encourages scientists to support efforts by their colleagues to create more and more winning trade models. More winning trade models mean steadier fund growth, in turn boosting dividends for all participating scientists.
Experts believe there will be secondary markets for numeraire because data scientists will look for more digital tokens to make bolder bets and win more bitcoins. This will boost numeraire value – though the cryptocurrency has no stated value – and turn it into a mix of stock and currency used to trade itself.
Others suggest that the concept will prove quite complicated for real life application. Thus, some game theory scholars point to a simpler way of creating incentives for data scientists: pay them. Nonetheless, Numerai's model appears to have all the features that a successful gamification project should have – creation of winning models, incentives for betting on one's own strategy and on an overall winning model, and the sense of competing for rewards.
While waiting-and-seeing if the model will work for a hedge fund, observers should remain mindful of the fact that some of the brightest minds on the planet will hold numeraires. This alone might say enough about the value of the overall concept.

Q: RegEx to return first twelve of last thirteen digits? I'm working on this regex, and it's not functioning as I expected. Here is my regex thus far -- .{12}(?=.)$|(^.{1,12}$)
The first half, .{12}(?=.)$ is where I'm stuck. I'm trying to match the first twelve of the last thirteen characters from an input string.
Examples:
1234567890123 --> 123456789012
123456789012345 --> 345678901234
12345678901234567890 --> 890123456789
It seems like the lookahead is failing for me. Using the demo of something like q(?=w) correctly matches a q followed by a w, but I can't get it to work in my specific instance.
Thanks!

A: The look-ahead is zero-width so (?=.)$ is a contradiction
.{12}(?=.$)|^.{1,12}$

First of all congratulations on being engaged to your very lucky partner. Here we keep wedding photography fun, relaxing, and playful and of course natural! We don't pose you like any photographer you may have had before or you have been looking at, we pose our couples in natural and fun way.
What an amazing talent for such a young age even the vicar at my wedding commented on how professional he is. Put myself and my husband (who hate having our photo being taken) at complete ease and to top it off he was a absolutely lovely guy cannot wait to see the rest of our photos. Would highly recommend to anyone and everyone thank you jake for an amazing job.
Lovely Guy, not only did he become my wedding photographer but a friend also felt very comfortable around him and he fit right in with us all. His work is lovely for such a young person. He kept in contact in the run up to the wedding and also afterwards. He arrived on time (early in fact lol) highly recommended Jake Beamson Photography.
Having trawled the West Midlands for wedding photographers my wife and I were disappointed as we were looking for a more natural and bespoke wedding shoot. Upon widening our search, we stumbled across Jake Beamson whose light work and artistry stood out from the crowd. One phone call later we had everything booked and were happy with our choice.
Come the big day both Jake and his assistant were very professional and easy to work with.
We were also impressed with his commitment to travel around 130 miles during mid-December for the Wedding.
Following on, we were kept in regular contact as the photos were edited and shortlisted for the handmade wedding albums, which are due in the post this week. In all, I would expect this quality work to come from someone much older, and to be much more expensive. An incredible and unique photographer who is more affordable than you may think. Highly recommended!
Documentary, Wedding photo journalism and Reportage style wedding photography are all the same thing.
There are Just Many different ways to explain the same style. It's a natural way of shooting a wedding with vary little "posey" type photographs, and of course its the most relaxing kind of wedding photography without having a camera in front of you for the whole day.
With me using the term "Fine Art wedding photography" it has its own place in the wedding photography world I don't spend 1 hour for your personals like I would with documentary style with you as a couple but I would spend around 3 hours with you doing the personals don't worry 3 hours actually flys by fairly fast.
I spend the 3 hours doing the personals because Fine Art wedding photographic style is not a quick come here and pose it's about spending the time to make amazing images that you don't just want in your wedding album but want prints for your wall at home where it belongs, To me Fine Art photography is art plan and simple.
Destination Weddings must be a challenging one i must admit but it does not have to be like that.
We will sort out our travel and stay and handle all the photographic needs for your wedding (we charge an extra £1,500 for a destination wedding and all travel and stay costs are covered.

Debenhams shuts its last store today – everything you need to know
DEBENHAMS is shutting down it's last remaining physical stores today, marking the end of its 243-year history.
The historic department store chain will close the last 28 shops across the UK for good, after the company collapsed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
Read our coronavirus live blog for the latest updates
The last remaining Debenhams stores are shutting their doors for good today[/caption]
The retailer has been staggering store closures with some locations such as Taunton and Newbury closing as early as May 2.
A further tranche of Debenhams shops then ceased trading on May 4. This includes locations like Walsall and Winchester.
Now, the last 28 of its sites left standing will be closed forever from the end of the day.
The retailer has suffered slumping sales in recent years as shoppers moved away from traditional department store models.
But the enforced closure of sites during the pandemic was the final straw, resulting in the company falling into administration within weeks of the virus hitting the UK.
Which Debenhams stores are closing today
This is the last day you'll ever be able to shop at a bricks and mortar Debenhams store.
Here's the full list of the 18 locations that are still open for now but will be closed for good at the end of the day.
Birmingham Bullring
Cheshire Oaks
Leeds White Rose
Meadowhall
Rushmere
Debenhams began its liquidation process at the start of this year after failing to secure a rescue sale.
The chain, which employed more than 20,000 people before the pandemic, sold its brand and website online giant Boohoo for £55 million in January.
The 118 physical Debenhams stores, and their 12,000 employees, were not part of the deal putting thousands of jobs at risk.
It also confirmed that it would not be reopening its 15 stores in Scotland following the coronavirus lockdown.
Debenhams reopened 97 of its English stores on April 12 – when non-essential retail was allowed under the lockdown easing roadmap – in order to clear stock before closing down.
This has meant that shoppers have benefitted from bumper sales as clothing and homeware was reduced to bargain basement prices.
Brits in the 28 areas where shops are staying open till the end of the day may get a chance to visit Debenhams for the last time – and could even nab a final bargain.
Prices have been slashed in store and online by more than 70% for some items.
For instance, shoppers can bag bargains of up to 80 per cent off in fashion and home departments, while the price of beauty and fragrances will be cut by up to 70 per cent.

After the release of "Holding Back" a few weeks ago, Lyves shares new single "Cover Me", where she deals with the battle between being independent and wanting to be with the other person in a relationship.
I wrote "Cover Me" around 3 years ago, but it ended up as a lost, unfinished demo until I came across it again by accident this year while writing in Devon. Hearing it after so long re-ignited how I first felt writing it and led me to finish the song. I feel the song speaks about the tug and pull in relationships – that internal conflict that can arise between wanting stability and security vs independence.

LITTLE ROCK (KFSM) — The Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) is issuing a public health advisory warning Arkansans of the dangers of using products derived from Cannabis use, that claim to benefit health.
ADH is partnering with Arkansas Surgeon General Dr. Greg Bledsoe and Arkansas Drug Director Kirk Lane for the health advisory.
Marijuana now available is more potent with higher levels of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the primary psychoactive substance in Cannabis than marijuana available in previous decades. The long-term health or developmental consequences of exposure to these high concentrations of THC are unknown.
There are a limited number of conditions where there is substantial or conclusive evidence for using Cannabis-derived products as medication, but outside of these conditions, there is not sufficient evidence to show that any form of Cannabis, including marijuana or hemp, is safe and effective as medication.
Due to a lack of regulations on products containing cannabidiol (CBD), consumers cannot be certain what they will receive if purchasing a product purported to contain CBD.
Marijuana impairs judgment and can lead to actions that result in injury or death.
The ADH is asking anyone with substance abuse issues to contact the National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP for treatment referral.
The health advisory comes two days ahead of medical marijuana licenses go into effect in Arkansas.

Frederic Hale Parkhurst (November 5, 1864 – January 31, 1921) was an American politician.  He was the 52nd Governor of Maine.

Biography
He graduated from Washington, D.C.'s Columbian Law School (now George Washington University Law School) in 1887 and became an attorney in Bangor. He soon abandoned the law for business, and became partner with his father in a successful leather manufacturing and retail business.

A Republican, he served on the Bangor City Council from 1893 to 1894 and was the council's president in 1894. He was a member of the Maine House of Representatives from 1895 to 1896 and 1899 to 1902. He was a Delegate to the 1900 Republican National Convention.  Parkhurst was also a member of the Maine Militia, serving as Commissary General with the rank of colonel from 1901 to 1904.

From 1907 to 1908 Parkhurst was a member of the Maine State Senate, and he was chairman of the Maine Republican Party from 1914 to 1916. In 1920, he defeated incumbent Carl Milliken in Maine's Republican primary for governor. After winning the general election in September, Parkhurst became ill during the period between winning the election and his inauguration. Parkhurst managed to leave his sickbed to take the oath of office, but died of pneumonia just three weeks later. He was buried at Mount Hope Cemetery in Bangor.

His 26 days as Governor make his term one of the shortest in Maine history; the record belongs to Nathaniel Haskell, who served for 25 hours in 1953. Senate President Percival Proctor Baxter, also a Republican, finished Parkhurst's term in office.

Ace, acid hippie of the "X" generation, caught the all-seeing eye of a nameless spirit, the ghost of a long-dead Beat poet. Excited that a new true age of Beat was about to begin, even as the century ended, the spirit began to follow Ace, watching as the tripping hippie encountered a New York cockroach that somehow stood up on its hind legs. Later, on the road, Ace and Goddog met old friend Lucinda and her new friend Annie Lane, with disastrous consequences for Annie. Ace however knew none of this, and rejoined the Deadheads, as Beat a bunch as ever was, soon after. But Goddog, Ace's faithful etc., was separated from his master amidst that crazy subculture. At a crucial moment, he opted to stay with a female friend known only as French Fry Thighs - abandoning his original owner forever. In Denver, Ace encountered another cockroach that somehow vanished from a closed hand, and a book of Beat poems that has special significance to our spectral navigator….
Lucinda, owner of the pagan bookstore Circle Star, arrived at the Full Moon Festival with two hitchhikers, Annie and Mouse. Accidentally dosed with LSD by Ace, Annie soon found her world crashing around her, her lies and hypocracy exposed. Meanwhile, Mouse's arrival would spell great change for someone else….
Harlan met Tracy and fell equally hard, but was far luckier, abandoning everything he had - which wasn't much - to follow her on the road. In Oregon he encountered Tracy's mother Maria, as well as her sister Maya, a little girl possessed of an unusual power. Later, working a Renaissance faire in Colorado, they met many new friends, including oddball Christian mystic Chris, before joining the migration to the Rainbow Gathering: a July 4 peacefest in the woods that attracts hipsters and tripsters from all across this great nation….
Rainbow Gatherings are unique experiences, difficult to describe with the written word (and better writers than myself have tried). The same Gathering can be very different things for different people. I want to make clear that this and the following chapters are based only on my own impressions of the Rainbow Gatherings. Also, in keeping with the unofficial nature of all things Rainbow, I should note that this semi-fictitious rendering of the 1994 National Gathering in Wyoming is in no way endorsed by the Rainbow Family of Living Light.
