Q: Why doesn't Blood stick on Wolverine's blades? Wolverine has stabbed a number of opponents using his adamantium blades in the movies but every time he does so and takes out the blade from someones' body it's nice and shiny. There's not even a single drop of blood on his blades. Why does that happen?

A: As a possible answer as to why there is no blood (and this is purely theoretical for the movies) is the fact that his claws are quite keen and never lose their edge, Wolverine doesn't not experience any resistance when 'clawing' an enemy. This it is quite fast. As I am sure we have all experienced, a wound may not immediately bleed, depending on severity, depth, width, tearing, and location. So there is a factor of speed. Also, since his claws are neither serated nor jagged, the cuts are very fine... surgecal, in fact. A fine cut would not bleed profusly at first, as the blood vessels may not have had time to split (read your biology, tendons and blood vessels will pull apart when cut). Flesh wounds with capillary blood is slow and oozing, and may not get blood. Now I agree that an artery would squirt blood all over the place. Yet, it is known that a knife would can sometimes be self-sealing, for a brief moment. Yes, the wound and the body will attempt to seal itself before the blood fills up the space created and come poring out like a dam with a hole. It could very well be possible that the skin squeeges the blood off his claws.
In the comic books, his claws come quite bloody. Then again, Wolverine usually isn't drenched in blood, whic would happen if he, say, started chopping up swat team members in the X-mansion. Because let's be honest. My explaination, while plausible, might work once or twice in a fight. Not every dang time.
Of course, we're talking about the guy who survived being nuked, but can't regrow a hand after Cyclops blasts it off in the Age of Apocalypse.

A: Specific to the movies, in short, because the film makers don't want to depict too much blood and violence in the film. It probably has a lot to do with the US motion picture rating system.

A film rated PG-13 for "intense violence" is given this rating if blood is present in a violent way

  An R-rated movie may have more blood, gore, drug use, nudity, or graphic sexuality than a PG-13 movie would permit.

The following movies all have Wolverine in them: X-Men (2000), X2 (2003), X-Men The Last Stand (2006), and X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), all of which received a rating of PG-13.
I'd have to say that the rating system itself is still somewhat subjective-- it depends on how much leeway is given for what is considered violence. Keep in mind that the story around Wolverine is that he's a hero, an X-Man-- not some guy that is slashing everyone with blood on his 'knives' to show for it. It's already plenty violent when he stabs someone, which is how they keep earning a PG-13 rating I'm sure.
History also tells us that PG-13 movies make more money than R movies because it reaches a larger audience. So unless it's really necessary, the director isn't going to depict violence that begins to reach R rating levels.

Note: if you use HostPapa, our recommended host they will move WordPress for you – that sure saves a lot of work!
If you need to move your blog to another web hosting account or domain, the process is a little tricky. A lot of people think they can just download all their WordPress files, then upload them in the new location and it will work, but that is not correct.
A WordPress site consists of two parts working together: 1) a bunch of files inside the folder where your site is installed on your server, and 2) a database which stores all your posts, pages, comments, and settings.
If you move one without the other, things won't work.
Moving a WordPress/ProPhoto site is too complex to explain in a simple tutorial, but we'll give the basic steps here to help you figure it out if you're very good with web stuff.
The best tool for this job is called phpMyAdmin which can be used in most web hosting control panels to export your raw MySQL database.
For an in-depth explanation of the process, see the WordPress guide to Backing Up Your Database for a detailed write up, or consider using a WordPress plugin to export your database.
If your site address will be changed during this move, you will need to update your database to use the new URL or you may not see any images after the move. WordPress plugins can help with this, too, such as Search & Replace by Inpsyde GmbH.
Download your WordPress file system to your computer.
A cPanel File Manager in your hosting account may be easier to use than FTP for this.
Or, your hosting account may have a separate tool to download a complete backup of your server file system. If they offer this, it may save you hours of time by transferring one large zip file instead of thousands of individual files at their original size. Ask your host if they offer a backup or download tool for your server file system.
Upload WordPress files to your new web server.
As the step above, a file manager in your new hosting account or an FTP program will be helpful here.
On your new website server, create a new MySQL database and import the database export file you created in earlier steps.
Edit the wp-config.php file in your new website location to make sure your new database name, user, and host info is correct.
If you are switching to Bluehost, you can also take a look at their migration tutorial.
The plugin allows you to migrate your site's database to a new location. And with the plugin's Media Library add-on, you can also sync your site's media over to a new location as well, migrating both parts of your site (database and files) to a different server. Just be aware that it will require a bit of "tech savvy" to use this plugin, and it requires you to install WordPress on the new server before you begin.
As stated on the plugin page, be aware that this plugin requires "above average technical knowledge", and we do not provide any technical support for plugins like this. If you have questions about either plugin mentioned above or get stuck using them, you will need to contact the plugin developer directly.
We have heard so many good things that we're sure you'll have the best experience without losing any of your website data. After they're done, drop us a note to let us know how your experience was with them.

Absa Cape Epic's official technology partner, Dimension Data, to sponsor Masters category jersey
18 September 2014 - 04:00 | Press Office
The world's foremost mountain bike stage race announced on Friday that the Dimension Data's role as a headline sponsor would be extended to sponsoring the jersey.
The Masters category is fiercely contested and the sponsorship was immediately welcomed by legendary Dutch mountain biker Bart Brentjens, who won the Masters division in this year's Absa Cape Epic. "The Cape Epic is something magical and, as a mountain biker, you have to ride the Absa Cape Epic once in your lifetime. For a lot of riders this happens after they have turned 40 and are in the Masters category."
"It's great that Dimension Data have come on board as the Masters jersey sponsor," said Bart, who also won the Absa Cape Epic overall in 2005 and has won the Masters category twice. "The category has become more and more competitive. It's the biggest category and the level of competition is as high as the elite men … just at an older age."
Last week it was announced that Dimension Data had joined the Absa Cape Epic as a headline sponsor.
The internationally-renowned IT infrastructure provider will be the Official Technology Partner to the Absa Cape Epic. It will handle all technology and communications aspects related to the race, including supplying equipment, personnel and support to deliver the IT service.
Absa Cape Epic founder Kevin Vermaak said: "We're extremely excited that Dimension Data has come on board as the Official Technology Partner for the Absa Cape Epic. We were looking for a partner with proven capabilities in providing IT communications in environments that require a high level of robustness and reliability."
"Dimension Data's proven pedigree in providing the type of connectivity that we require to take the event to millions of mountain biking enthusiasts around the world through the media made them an obvious choice to deliver this crucial service," said Vermaak.
Derek Wilcocks, Dimension Data's CEO for the Middle East and Africa, said: "This is a race that's really about the triumph of the human spirit, and as a South African-born company, we have a deep passion for the continent of Africa. This is why we continually invest in initiatives that enable us to accelerate the ambitions of its people."
"Dimension Data particularly looks forward to showcasing how technology can connect participants and fans in real time," said Wilcocks. "Adventure sports have become a showcase for new media with millions of devoted followers."
The eight-day Absa Cape Epic, staged annually in the Western Cape, has become the world's foremost mountain bike stage race since the first event in 2004. It attracts the world's leading professional riders and amateurs keen to test their limits in the rugged Western Cape countryside.
Dimension Data will provide Race Village bandwidth and connectivity at all the sites for the media contingent as well as riders, crew, operations and sponsors. This involves providing a seamless service to at least 4000 devices accessing the networks at different route locations over the eight days of the race.
The route launch for the 2015 race takes place on 22 October in Cape Town, and the race takes place from 15 – 22 March 2015. For more details visit www.cape-epic.com.

When one party is hurt on someone else's property, they may owe money for your injury related expenses. Talk to a Slip and Fall Accident lawyer to understand your legal options.
Slip, trip and fall accidents are generally considered "premises liability" cases. When an owner or custodian neglect of their property in maintenance, repair and upkeep of the property in question.
When you are hurt in a slip and fall, the amount of money you can recover from the property owner or renter who was responsible for the accident will vary depending upon how badly you were hurt. Common injuries that result from slip and fall accidents include Fractures. These types of cases are handled by Slip and Fall accident Lawyer.
The floor was unreasonably slippery?
If a floor slippery because of the foreign substance, how long had that substance been on the floor before you slipped?
Are you aware slippery conditions on the floor before you slipped?
If someone has hurt in Slip, Trip and Fall Accident, it's important to remember these 5 steps you take immediately following the incident are crucial to building the best possible legal case.
Take Medical Treatment: - After Slip, Trip and fall accident your first priority to meet the Doctor and take medical treatment and your injuries are properly documented, those medical records are important evidence. That should decide compensation for your injuries.

Q: Entity Framework - Determine the HasDatabaseGeneratedOption setting for a given type For some of the properties in my DB I need to manually calculate their Id #, so for those properties I do .Property(p => p.Id).HasDatabaseGeneratedOption(System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema.DatabaseGeneratedOption.None); inside OnModelCreating
Then, in the repository I have a method to calculate out the Id for a given type. I would prefer to have the system be intelligent and check to see if the DatabaseGeneratedOption.None or DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity and either return the next Id or 0.
How can I check (from inside a repository) what the DatabaseGeneratedOption for a given type (T) is?

A: Thanks to George's comment I was able to come up with this solution:
bool? _sqlGeneratesID;
bool IRepository<TEntity>.IsStoreGeneratedIdentity()
{
    if (!_sqlGeneratesID.HasValue)
    {
        var items = (_context as IObjectContextAdapter)?.ObjectContext.MetadataWorkspace.GetItems(DataSpace.SSpace).OfType<EntityType>();
        var entity = items.Single(x => x.Name == typeof(TEntity).Name);
        _sqlGeneratesID = entity.KeyProperties.FirstOrDefault()?.IsStoreGeneratedIdentity ?? false;
    }

    return _sqlGeneratesID.Value;
}

A: As I said in a comment, your solution works by virtue of a code-first store model returning the CLR type names from EntityType. A database-first store model, however, returns the store names. These names do not necessarily match the CLR type names.
To make this method independent of EF's store model, we need to access the store-CLR mapping space (CSSpace) and find the EntitySet (by CLR name) and match its KeyMembers with the columns in the store model (Property.Column), because these columns contain the right value of IsStoreGeneratedIdentity. (CLR properties also have this property, but it's always false).
So this is what we get (as a method encapsulated in a DbContext subtype):
public bool IsStoreGeneratedIdentity<TEntity>()
{
    var entityContainerMappings = (this as IObjectContextAdapter).ObjectContext
        .MetadataWorkspace.GetItems(DataSpace.CSSpace)
        .OfType<EntityContainerMapping>();

    var entityTypeMappings = entityContainerMappings
        .SelectMany(m => m.EntitySetMappings
            .Where(esm => esm.EntitySet.ElementType.Name == typeof(TEntity).Name))
        .SelectMany(esm => esm.EntityTypeMappings).ToArray();

    var keyMappings = (from km in entityTypeMappings.SelectMany(etm => etm.EntityType.KeyMembers)
        join pm in entityTypeMappings.SelectMany(etm => etm.Fragments)
            .SelectMany(mf => mf.PropertyMappings)
            .OfType<ScalarPropertyMapping>()
            on km.Name equals pm.Property.Name
        select pm
        );

    return keyMappings.Any(pm => pm.Column.IsStoreGeneratedIdentity);
}

The International Festival of Arts & Ideas and Yale-China Association Arts Fellowship is an 18-month experience for emerging professional Chinese artists. Fellows spend six months in residence in New Haven learning from practicing artists and professors at Yale and in the greater New Haven community, while developing a project of their own to be premiered at Arts & Ideas. The program is made possible through a special partnership with the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, New York (HKETO-NY).
The Chaos Project is a series of kinetic "elements" built with electronics, music wires, and piano keys retrieved from an abandoned grand piano. Acts of performance by the acoustic sculpture and the audiences—the ever-present element of chance these acts engender—are integral for unexpected sonic outcomes.
Inspired by the childhood games played by CAI Ying, in-between, explores the individual experiences, the relationships between the individual and the collective, and the process of change itself. It invites the audience to create a space using rubber bands, in which they can experience gravity, tension, and body motions that they are unfamiliar with.
Working with New Haven public schools, sculptor Debe Sham will help students find their voices in their city as they design their own urban playground. Students will develop small models that will be realized as life-sized sculptures at our Pop-Up Festivals and on the New Haven Green.
What does it feel like to be contained in our chaotic world? Using elements of the ancient Chinese game, Mahjong, Never Stand Still gives audience members an opportunity to travel on a journey with people halfway around the world, in Hong Kong, for a completely new experience.


In this undated photo, Osama bin Laden is seen in Afghanistan. President Bush said he didn't care how Osama bin Laden was brought to justice. Just get him. That was back in 2001, when Bush used bravado to lead the nation past the shock of the attacks on the World Trade Center, Pentagon and Pennsylvania.
CAIRO, Egypt — Al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden urged Muslims to launch a jihad against Israel and condemned Arab governments as allies of the Jewish state in a new message aimed at harnessing anger in the Mideast over the Gaza offensive.
Bin Laden spoke in an audiotape posted Wednesday on Islamic militant Web sites where al-Qaida usually issues its messages. It was his first tape since May and came nearly three weeks after Israel started its campaign against Gaza's militant Hamas rulers.
The al-Qaida leader also vowed that the terror network would open "new fronts" against the United States and its allies beyond Iraq and Afghanistan. He said President-elect Barack Obama has received a "heavy inheritance" from George W. Bush — two wars and "the collapse of the economy," which he said will render the United States unable to sustain a long fight against the mujahedeen, or holy warriors.
"There is only one strong way to bring the return of Al-Aqsa and Palestine, and that is jihad in the path of God," bin Laden said in the 22-minute audiotape, referring to the revered Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. "The duty is to urge people to jihad and to enlist the youth into jihad brigades."
"Muslim nation, you are capable of defeating the Zionist entity with your popular capabilities and your great hidden strength — without the support of (Arab) leaders and despite the fact that most of (the leaders) stand in the barracks of the Crusader-Zionist alliance," bin Laden said.
The authenticity of the tape could not be independently confirmed, but the voice resembled that of bin Laden in previous messages.
The tape, entitled "a call for jihad to stop the aggression on Gaza," was played over a still picture of bin Laden and the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem's Old City, one of Islam's holiest sites. But there were no English subtitles and flashy production effects that usually accompany such messages.
That suggested the message had been hastily put together and issued to best exploit anger in the region over the Gaza offensive, which Palestinian medical officials say has killed more than 940 Palestinians, half of them civilians. Israel said the offensive aims to halt rocket fire from Gaza against Israeli towns.
Bin Laden accused Arab leaders of "avoiding their responsibility" to liberate Palestine.
"If you are not convinced to fight, then open the way to those who are convinced," he said.
Bin Laden and his lieutenants frequently use the Palestinian issue to try to rally support for al-Qaida and often call for holy war to free Jerusalem. But there has been little sign that the terror group has carried out attacks in Israel. Bin Laden made no direct reference to Hamas, which seized power in Gaza in 2007. Al-Qaida leaders have frequently criticized the Palestinian militant group for participating in elections and failing to seriously pursue jihad against Israel.
The al-Qaida leader also said the world economic crisis was a sign that the United States' power was falling apart, boasting that "the Islamic nation's jihad is one of the main causes of these destructive results for our enemies."
Pointing to wars in Afghanistan and Iraq since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, bin Laden said al-Qaida was prepared to fight "for seven more years, and seven more after that, then seven more."
"We are on the way to opening new fronts," he said, urging Muslims to "join hands with the mujahedeen to continue the jihad against the enemy, to continue bleeding them on these two fronts and on the others that are open to you."
"The question is, can America continue the war against us for several more decades? The reports and signs show us otherwise," he said. He said Bush had left his successor "with a heavy inheritance," forcing Obama to choose between withdrawing from the wars or continuing.
"If he withdraws from the war, it is a military defeat. If he continues, he drowns in economic crisis," bin Laden said.
It was the first time bin Laden have spoken of Obama, though he did not mention him by name. Bin Laden's top deputy Ayman al-Zawahri has previously spoken against Obama, warning Muslims he will not bring major change in U.S. policies.

Poll blow as Labour slips behind Tories and May stretches lead over Corbyn
Peter Edwards
Labour has fallen behind the Tories for the first time since the election as Theresa May doubled her advantage over Jeremy Corbyn despite the farce over her botched Brexit deal last week.
A YouGov poll carried out after May finally got over the finishing line for an agreement with EU leaders showed the Tories had reached 42 per cent, up two, and a one point advantage over Labour.
The results of the survey, carried out for The Times, are within the margin of error but will come as a boost for May given speculation that her humiliation at the hands of the DUP last week – when the Northern Irish party vetoed the prime minister's first attempt at a deal – could prompt a fresh Tory coup against her.
Today the research also shows that May has doubled her advantage over Corbyn as to who would make the best PM.
May, who squandered the Tories' majority in June, was backed by 37 per cent, up three, while Corbyn was on 28 per cent, down two.
The final prime minister's questions before Christmas takes place tomorrow.
YouGov poll for The Times
Tories 42 per cent (+2)
Labour 41 per cent (no change)
Lib Dems 7 per cent (nc)
Others 10 per cent (-1)

Q: Stubbing a class within a namespace I have the following controller spec that works just fine right now:
# This top part is a hack
module MyModule
  class MyOAuthClient < OAuthClient
    def token_is_valid?(options)
      true
    end
  end
end

# Here's the actual spec

  describe "GET callback" do
    it "works fine when token is valid" do
      post :callback, use_route: :my_module
      expect(response.code).to eq("200")
    end
  end
end

What I want to do is replace the monkey patch in my spec with a stub. How do I do this?
The rspec-mocks docs show examples for stubbing classes that aren't under namespaces, but it doesn't seem that you can just apply those examples to namespaced classes and have it work.
I've tried certain things already but I don't want to bias people's answers with my incorrect guesses.

Words cannot describe how accurate this is!!! I landed in Dublin this morning at about 4:30 AM eastern time. It was 9:30 ish in the morning here in Ireland. My body has been running on chocolate and coffee all say so far. Still got more to go!!!!! Adventure!!


Paritosh Sen, one of India's renowned artists, was born in 1918 in Dhaka, now in Bangladesh. He studied art at the Government College of Arts and Crafts, Chennai, and later, in Paris, where a meeting with Picasso left a deep impression. He founded the Calcutta Group in 1942 along with a group of artist friends. He received many honours and awards and his paintings have been exhibited all over the world. He has also published writings in Bangla and English. In 1998, Tulika published A Tree in My Village, an adaptation of a story from his memoirs, Zindabahar. The painterly quality of its words and the drama and delicacy of his pen-and-ink sketches washed with watercolour, come together for a fascinating visual experience of nature, colour and movement.
A Tree In My Village has been written and illustrated by the renowned painter Paritosh Sen. In it he records the variety of bird, animal and insect life in and around the Arjuna tree in his village.

Mariann From Brooklyn Serves as the Stern Show's Official Guest Announcer in Honor of Howard's Book Release
Plus, Gary Dell'Abate eats cake and Wack Packers write Howard a foreword
To help commemorate Howard releasing his new book on Tuesday morning, longtime caller and always-exuberant superfan Mariann from Brooklyn was declared the Stern Show's official guest announcer for the day.
Predictably, she kicked off the broadcast by lauding the King of All Media at the top of her lungs. "Congratulations, Howard! ... It's a big day, it's a celebration," shrieked Mariann, who said she was in the studio to "represent all the fans."
"I gotta say, Mariann really is the biggest fan," Howard stated before mentioning how hard she recently worked to promote his book across a variety of platforms.
"It's the sweetest thing you could've done," Howard told her. "I honestly was moved."
At that point, Mariann's excitement once again became palpable. She even admitted losing her train of thought because her heart was beating so quickly. Howard suggested she calm down before doing damage to her body. "Save some energy for your announcements later," he begged her.
After fielding a phone call from one of her own superfans, "Ann Marie from Queens," Mariann calmed down enough to enjoy a more serious on-air discussion with Howard. She told Howard about everything from being a shy teenager to her lack of dating experience in high school.
Later in the show, Mariann called Tuesday "the greatest day of her life" and Howard revealed she even brought in a celebratory cake for him and his staff to enjoy.
Howard never got the opportunity to see the cake in its original condition, however, as executive producer Gary Dell'Abate took it upon himself to cut off a slice for himself while the show was still going on. It was Gary's co-worker Shuli Egar who first noticed the missing piece, and he told Howard he had to talk to security in the building to find out who had eaten it.
Gary defended his latest instance of mid-show snacking by saying he asked around about the cake beforehand, but no one was buying it. "How is my cake?" Howard ultimately wondered.
"It's good. Very good. I'm going to have another piece in a minute," Gary laughed.
Mariann's announcement duties also included her introducing a segment where Shuli pranked several Wack Packers into believing Howard needed them to write the foreword for "Howard Stern Comes Again."
High Pitch Erik made the foreword all about himself, essentially telling Howard it was he who should be grateful for everything the Wack Packer has done for the show. Bigfoot couldn't write well enough to complete the assignment, though he did tell Shuli he loves Howard. Bobo's foreword, meanwhile, was complimentary of Howard, but everyone agreed it was way too long.
"Aww, geez," Bobo said. "I put a lot into it."
So did Mariann from Brooklyn, apparently. Bobo admitted getting her help with the foreword despite the fact Shuli told him to keep the assignment a secret. As a result, Bobo wound up cribbing the opening line from a book about Princess Diana.
Whether or not he wrote the words himself, the foreword Bobo put together made him emotional while reading it over the phone.
"Wipe your eyes with your toupee," Howard joked.
Take a listen to some of Bobo's foreword for "Howard Stern Comes Again" (below).

Ford Airport adding 26th non-stop destination with service to Phoenix-Sky Harbor
Posted: 8 August 2018 | | No comments yet
Frontier Airlines is adding more warm-weather destinations to the Grand Rapids (GRR) route map, with flights to Phoenix-Sky Harbor International (PHX) and Tampa International (TPA).
The addition of Phoenix-Sky Harbor to the Grand Rapids (GRR) route map, marks the third new destination served from the Ford Airport in the last year.
Frontier, headquartered in Denver, will be serving the Gerald R. Ford International Airport with two weekly non-stop flights to Phoenix-Sky Harbor International Airport on an Airbus A320 family aircraft, along with service to Tampa International three times a week.
The Phoenix service is scheduled weekly for departures on Monday and Friday, and the service begins on 16th November 2018.
The non-stop service to Tampa begins on 15th November 2018 and will operate on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday.
Ford Airport President & CEO Jim Gill said: "Service to Florida and Arizona from November through April is not only a welcome addition for those wanting to escape our winter weather, but it shows that our partners at Frontier are listening to our community and watching their travel patterns. Having another low cost carrier option to stimulate competition and offer even more nonstop service is a welcome addition for our air service portfolio and our growing community."
The service will be seasonal, and will be culminating in April 2019.
Frontier re-entered the Grand Rapids market in 2017 with non-stop flights to Denver (DEN), Orlando (MCO), and seasonal service to Fort Myers (RSW), and Philadelphia (PHL). Phoenix and Tampa mark the fifth and sixth cities the airline serves from GRR, respectively.

How good is the Alexpotato Paintball Exchange at predicting the outcome of events?
The Alexpotato Exchange is a futures contract market for probabilistic predictions of upcoming events in the paintball industry.
In English, it's basically like a "stock" market for predicting what's going to happen in the future of the paintball world.
Also, all the money is fake money. No actual financial transactions take place.
An event in the future, e.g. Team X wins Event Y, has a contract. If that event happens and you own those contracts you get 100 AP(AlexPotatoes) per contract.
Now, each contract has a price that can changed based on what people think it's worth. That price is like a value on the "odds" that event will happen. For example, if the price is 5 then the market thinks there is a 5% chance of that happening, 50 = 50%, 90 = 90% etc.
Each contract is linked to an event that will happen in the future. If that event happens, either it does or it doesn't, and you own those contracts you get 100 AP per contract. If it doesn't happen, you lose your initial investment in those contracts.
Think of a contract as a "bet" that something is going to happen. For argument's sake, we'll use the example that Team A makes it to the final 4 at Event Z and you own 5 contracts that you bought at 50 AP each.
If Team A makes it to the final four, then you get 500 AP (5 contracts X 100 AP). You initially spent 250 AP (5 contracts X 50 AP) so your profit is 250 AP.
If Team A does not make it to the final four, then you get 0. You initially spent 250 AP (5 contracts X 50 AP) so your loss is 250 AP.
The price is basically the probability that the event will happen. So, a price of 50 would equal a probability of 50% whereas a price of 75 would equal a probability of 75%. A price of 100 would mean that the event is 100% going to occur.
Since the price is like a probability, the maximum price a contract can have is 100 and the minimum is 0.
Now, the price is not fixed or decided by one person. The price is what all of the traders have decided is the best price for that contract. This will be explained in more detail later.
There are currently five levels of traders. To make it easier for new traders, everyone starts at Level 1.
Here is a rundown of each level and how much it costs to get to the next level.
The simplest way to buy a contract is to do a "Market Buy". This means that you buy the contract at the current market price.
When buying, whatever the "Ask" price is for the contract is what you will pay per contract.
First of all, look at all of the available contracts here.
If you see a contract that has a price(the Price column) that you think is too low, you might want to buy it.
This means that the last price paid for this contract was 45 which means that the market thinks there is a 45% of this happening. If you believe that that odds are higher, say 60%, you should probably buy this contract.
If you would like to sell a contract, the easiest way is to do a "Market Sell". This will try to sell the number of contracts you have at the highest available "Bid" price.
NOTE: As a Level 1 or 2 trader, you can only sell contracts you own and you can not sell more than you currently have. Putting in an order that violates these constraints will cancel that order.
If you see a contract that you own that has a price(the Price column) that you think is too high, you might want to sell that contract.
This means that the last price paid for this contract was 75 which means that the market thinks there is a 75% chance of this happening. If you believe that the odds are lower, say 65%, you should probably sell this contract.
NOTE: This decision is also based on how much you paid for the contract originally. For example, if you paid 20 per contract this is a very good time to sell. However, if you paid 60, you may want to review your decision.
Every contract has three price related fields: Price, Bid and Ask.
The price listed is the "last" price or, in other words, the price of the most recent completed order.
The bid is essentially "what sellers will receive" for a contract.
The ask is essentially "what buyers will pay" for a contract.
When you do a market buy, you pay whatever the ask price is. On the flip side, when you do a market sell, you get cash equal to the bid price.
Only traders at Level 2 and above can see bid/ask prices.
Placing a bid order means you are saying the following: I am willing to buy contract A at any price up to Z.
This means that the last price paid for this contract was 75 which means that the market thinks there is a 75% chance of this happening. In your opinion, this is too high because you think that at Team F only has a 55% chance of winning.
Now, if at any point in time after you enter your bid order if someone either a) does a "Market Sell" of W_TFEZ06 or b) does an "Ask" order for W_TFEZ06 at a price below what you entered, the system will attempt to fill your order.
NOTE: If you do not have the cash to cover the order at the time it matches another order, your order will be canceled.
NOTE2: The price used in any transaction is the price specified in the older order. For example, if your order is placed first that price will be used. However, if your order matches up with a pre-existing "Market Sell" or "Ask" order then the older price will be used.
Placing an ask order means you are saying the following: I am willing to sell contract A at any price above Z.
This means that the last price paid for this contract was 50.
Let's assume you own 100 contracts of W_TFEZ06. You purchased these contracts at 40 and you think they will go up to 70. However, you are willing to sell them if they go above 65.
Now, if at any point in time after you enter your ask order if someone either a) does a "Market Buy" of W_TFEZ06 or b) does a "Bid" order for W_TFEZ06 at a price above what you entered and your price is the lowest ask order price, the system will attempt to fill your order.
NOTE: If you do not have the contracts to cover the order at the time it matches another order, your order will be canceled.
Short selling, or shorting, is when you sell contracts that you don't own.
Why do this? The primary goal of short selling is to gain from the decline in the price of a contract.
For example, let's say there is a contract named XYZ. It is currently at a price you think is too high, say 90 AP. If you don't own any XYZ contracts you can't sell it and therefore can't really do anything to lower the price.
However, you can borrow contracts from the exchange and sell them. If XYZ doesn't happen you pocket the difference. If XYZ does happen, you owe the exchange.
The easiest way to show this is with an example.
You think that 75 is too high a price for this contract. However, you don't own any XY06.
So, you need to short sell. Currently, in order to short sell you need to have 100 AP in "margin" for every contract that you short sell. So for example, if you want to short 100 contracts you need to have 10,000 AP in your margin account (100 contracts * 100 AP = 10,000 AP).
Next, you would do a short sell of XY06. Since the current Ask is 72 you would receive 72 AP for each contract you short sell.
Scenario 1: Contract result happens and contract pays out.
You get to keep the 72 but you lose the 100 you set aside in the margin account for that contract.
Scenario 2: Contract expires and result does not happen.
You get to keep the 72 AND the 100 you set aside in the margin account for that contract.
The easiest way to think about margins is that margin is like collateral. When you short sell, you are "borrowing" contracts from the exchange. Your margin amount is your guarantee to the market that you can cover your short selling.
Due to the reason mentioned above, you can always add money to your margin account. However, you can only take money out as long as you have 100 AP in the margin account for every shorted contract.
If you close out a short position then you can take money out of your margin account.
You can now take the 200 AP out of your margin account.
First of all, you need to be a Level 3 trader in order to short sell. To update your level, login and go to your User Panel. You can find a link in the navbar on your portfolio page.
Once you upgrade to Level 3, there will be a margin table where you can set how much cash you want to cover your shorts. You need 100 AP for every contract that you are going to short.
Once you have put aside some credits in your margin account, you can just go to your portfolio and start short selling. Short positions will show up as a negative( e.g. -4) in the list of contracts that you own.
To put in a short order, you just do a market sell. The exchange will pickup that you are a Level 3 trader and perform the short for you.
If your short order is reviewed and you don't have enough margin set aside then your order will be cancelled.
If you own a certain number of contracts and you put in a sell order for more than you own, the exchange will check to see if you can cover the excess from your margin. e.g. You own 20 shares of XY06 but and you Sell 30. If you have 3,000 AP in your margin, you will now have a -10 short position. If your margin is less than 3,000 AP, your entire order will be canceled.
From the buyers point of view, there is no difference between buying contracts from a Sell or Short Sell.
First of all, all new market openings are announced via email to all traders. Keep in mind, open markets are not necessarily open for trading. This is explained below.
Once all traders have been notified the market is opened, bids need to be entered for the most "popular" contracts. Why do this? Well, in order to decide the opening price for a contract in a newly opened market, each trader should submit a bid price for any contract they are interested in purchasing. When the market begins trading, the trader with the highest bid price will "win" the bidding process and get the contracts.
Some people have asked why they shouldn't just to do a market buy in this case. This is certainly an acceptable course of action however you are at the mercy of whoever wins the bidding process.
For example, you think contract X at 50 is a good price. If you just do a market buy, you may end up purchasing contract X at a price higher than 50. Whereas if you had submitted a bid, you would know that you would be purchasing the contract at no more than 50.
From a market point of view, having multiple bids from multiple traders before trading begins so that the opening price is a fair representation of what the traders think the contract is worth.
Since the Alexpotato Paintball Exchange is a prediction market this is a very good question.
We can answer this in two ways. The first is to see how well prices reflect the actual odds of the contract paying off.
So what does this mean? Well, in the chart above, the yellow or "Predicted" bars show how often we would expect contracts at a certain price to happen. For example, a price of 10 means pay outs should happen 10% of the time, 50 should pay out at 50% etc.
Now, the green or "Accuracy" is how often the contracts at a given price actually paid out. From the chart, we can see that there is some variation. For example, for contracts below a price of 50, the predicted and actual payout odds are pretty close. However, the higher we go, the larger the difference. We can see that contracts with a price of 60 pay out almost 90% of the time whereas contracts at prices of 80 and 90 pay out 20% and 50% of the time respectively.
The overall result of this is that for low probability contracts, the market is pretty accurate. However, it seems that contracts in the 55-65 range are generally undervalued whereas contracts in the 65-95 range seem to be generally overvalued.
For this discussion, we ranked the contracts by price for winner, top 4 and bottom 4. We used the highest price winner contract and the 4 highest top four and 4 highest bottom four prices as the "predictions" for each event.
Given the above criteria and only using PSP events, the market predicted the winner at one of the events. However, it did pick 14 of the 24 top four and 11 of the 24 bottom four teams.
For comparison, if you were to randomly pick teams, the odds of randomly correctly picking 14 out of 24 top four finishers from 6 events is 0.045% or 4.5 in 10,000. For 11 out of 24 teams it's 1.398% or just about 1 in 100.
In summary, the Alexpotato Paintball Exchange is a) MUCH better than random and b) seems to be pretty good at determining the odds of how teams will do at paintball events.

Anna, que va florir entre el 720 i el 743, era filla de Lleó III, emperador romà d'Orient, i va ser emperadriu consort romana d'Orient de l'any 741 al 743.

Va néixer abans de la pujada al tron del seu pare i, segons Teòfanes el Confessor, el 715 es va prometre en matrimoni amb l'armeni Artavasdos, que a l'any 713, l'emperador Anastasi II havia nomenat governador (estrateg) del tema d'Armènia, que abastava les antigues àrees del Pont.

El matrimoni va tenir lloc un temps després que Lleó es convertís en emperador, el març del 717, i Lleó va donar a Artavasdos el rang de curopalata o majordom del palau, un alt càrrec administratiu i el va fer Comes del tema d'Opsikion. Artavasdos es va rebel·lar contra Constantí V, el seu cunyat, poc després de la seva pujada al tron el 741, rebutjant les polítiques iconoclastes de Constantí i confiant que el seu icondulisme o suport a les imatges, el faria popular. Va ser reconegut pel Papa Zacaries. La rebel·lió va comportar l'exili de Constantí a la Frígia Pacatiana on va reunir tropes. Va mantenir l'imperi durar dos anys i mig i durant aquest període Artavasdos va governar amb el seu fill gran Nicèfor com a coemperador. També podria haver nomenat el seu fill menor, Nicetes, coemperador i va coronar la seva dona Anna com a Augusta.

Constantí V va aconseguir ocupar Constantinoble i recuperar l'imperi l'any 743. Va castigar Artavasdos i els seus dos fills deixant-los cecs i enviant-los al monestir de Cora. Anna va acompanyar al seu marit per cuidar-lo a ell i als seus dos fills, segons explica Miquel Sincel·le, que afegeix que Constantí va convertir el convent en una residència per a laics. Segons Teòfanes el Confessor, trenta anys després del desterrament d'Artavasdos, Anna encara reivindicava al seu marit i als seus fills. Artavasdos ja havia mort, i Constantí va obligar la seva germana a desenterrar-lo i a llençar els seus ossos a un lloc anomenat Tomba de Pelagi, una fossa de carbons encesos on hi feien cap els cadàvers dels criminals executats.

includem gets first class rating for improving young people's lives
FIRST POSTED ON APRIL 16 2019 AT 10:07
We're thrilled to have been awarded the Care Inspectorate's top rating for our work in helping to improve young people's lives, graded 'excellent' for the third year running.
The Inspectorate was particularly impressed by the impact of our work with young people on the fringes of criminality.
"We heard about the huge impact their joint work with Police Scotland had, when the police identified and referred young people to includem within Glasgow offending rate reduced by half," they said in their report.
"We consistently heard from young people and their families that includem had made a significant difference in their lives."
includem Chief Executive, Martin Dorchester said:
"To gain such recognition from the inspectorate is a reinforcement for us that our intensive, trust based, one-to-one approach to supporting young people facing difficult challenges in their lives really does help transform their life prospects. Our model of support is based upon building solid relationships of trust. Through this approach we are able to help young people make positive life choices and progress towards the type of future they want to live.
"It is not only the inspectorate who are telling us this it is our young people themselves."
Feedback to the Inspectorate from young people includem works with ranged from "If includem wasn't in my life, my life would be two times worse. I have people I can trust. I can talk to them," to "Both my sons have spoken to workers about things they wouldn't speak to me about directly and then workers have been able to speak to us and it has been resolved."
The full Includem Care Inspectorate report can be downloaded here.
Change a life today.
Our young people and families need your help today, more than ever.

Medical establishment BAFFLED over why so many healthy, vaccinated people keep dying from the flu
Most mainstream media outlets have been running articles in recent weeks about the severity of this year's flu season. In fact, USA Today recently reported that the number of people being admitted to hospital for the flu this year rivals the numbers who had to seek medical attention for the swine flu in 2009. Over 60 children have died from the disease already this season, and those numbers are likely to continue rising as the winter progresses.
What is of grave concern to medical experts is the fact that thousands of otherwise healthy people across 42 states, who theoretically are not at risk of flu complications, have become dangerously ill from influenza this year. While it is to be expected that those who are at higher risk of complications, including young children, pregnant women and the elderly over the age of 65 would be more vulnerable, this year, the flu has left a trail of destruction across every age group in the country.
And, of even more concern to the mainstream medical establishment is the fact that many of these formerly healthy people were vaccinated against the disease before becoming ill. (Related: Discover what the medical community isn't telling you at Vaccines.news.)
While "responsible" media outlets continue to insist that everybody should rush out and get their flu shot if they haven't already done so, most admit somewhere in the body of their articles that this year's shot simply isn't working (though in truth, it never really does).
In answering the question, "Does the flu vaccine work?" USA Today noted:
Those who have been vaccinated lessen their risk of contracting influenza B and influenza A (H1N1) the most, according to the CDC.
The most common strain so far this year is A (H3N2). The CDC said the vaccine offers less protection against this one because H3N2 is more likely to have changed than other strains since the vaccine was formulated. The vaccine is about 30% effective against H3N2, according to the CDC. [Emphasis added]
So, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), getting the shot might lessen your chances of getting sick by 30 percent at best.
But is that even true?
Natural News has been warning its readers about the uselessness and dangers of the flu vaccines for many years. For example, last year we reported that there are at least four good reasons not to get the flu shot:
These vaccines have not been proven to work;
They have not been proven to be safe;
They contain toxic adjuvants and ingredients like thimerosal (mercury); and
Flu shots can cause serious side effects, including: eye and chest pain; arthritis; dizziness and loss of consciousness; convulsions and seizures; Guillain-Barre syndrome; cranial nerve or limb paralysis; brain swelling; and partial facial paralysis.
But the risks associated with flu shots are even worse than the fact that they don't work or carry serious side effects. Getting the shot actually weakens your immune system for years, and makes you substantially more susceptible to other strains of the virus. So, if for example, you dutifully get this year's shot which protects against the wrong strain of the virus, you are actually putting yourself at increased risk of contracting the far more dangerous strain that is currently circulating.
Vaccine truth advocate, Dr. Suzanne Humphries, a respected nephrologist, explained, "There's one great study that showed that after you take an influenza vaccine, you are 4-5 times more likely to get either a different strain of influenza infection or a non-influenza viral infection that can be very nasty, like coxsackievirus and echovirus – they can actually paralyze you. They can be really nasty, nasty viruses, as opposed to the people who got saline placebo, which we actually don't see very often … Those studies are out there and can prove that what we're saying is actually true."
Her expert advice?
"So what I would say is that, anyone in my family who has any respect for me, I would advise them not to take a vaccine ever. I don't care how old you are. I think that they're all potentially dangerous, and I think that they're not necessary. I think there are much better ways to deal with potential illness."

A website should serve as the foundation for your business' online presence. Your online sales, marketing and branding efforts should all stem from your website. As a foundational piece to your business, we understand the importance of a well built website and we are passionate about building custom solutions that meet the unique needs of your business. In a competitive online world, having a simple template website is not enough to be successful long-term. You need a website that is built with your business strategy in mind.
That is why at Digital Entrigue, we don't see ourselves as your web designers but rather, your business partners. Our development team has partnered with businesses from various industries to build custom websites and content management systems that expand their online presence.
Responsive design refers to the practice of ensuring your website is properly designed to 'respond' to different screen sizes and devices such as your phone, tablet and laptop. A responsive website will successfully adapt to the screen size it is on without negatively affecting your user's experience. Ensuring your website is viewable on mobile devices such as your phone and tablet is critical in today's market. Users are now spending more time using the Internet on their mobile devices than on their laptop/desktop computer. In fact, this has been the case since late 2016 and the trend amongst Internet users continues to move towards mobile usage. If that wasn't enough, popular search engines like Google actually reward websites with a mobile responsive website design by boosting their ranking in the search results. That means that if you have a website and it isn't mobile responsive, you are not only preventing the majority of your customer base from properly navigating your site, but you are also losing out on valuable search engine traffic related to your industry.
In competitive industries where the number of people searching for businesses like yours range in the millions, not having a mobile responsive website could be costing your business thousands of visits from potential and existing customers.
If you have a website that isn't mobile responsive, please feel free to get in touch with our team for assistance.
E-commerce websites provide businesses with a strong foundation to drive product sales through directly. At Digital Entrigue, we understand the importance of e-commerce for product-based businesses and the impact that it can have on a company's bottom line. Depending on the industry and product line in question, the structure of an online store can vary significantly. We approach each e-commerce project differently so that we can match the specific needs of our partners.
Our custom designs focus on optimizing conversion rates and turning visitors into buyers. When it comes to developing e-commerce websites, we are especially focused on understanding your vision as a business and the details that make your product offering.
To learn more about our design process and how we can consult with you on your overall online business strategy, visit our design process page.
A content management system allows our partners to make updates and modifications to some and sometimes all their website content following the development stage. At Digital Entrigue, we use Wordpress as our content management system for most clients because of its speed, security and user friendliness. While we do offer custom content management systems for really complex websites, we find that Wordpress is the ideal choice for most clients' business needs. One of the benefits of Wordpress relative to a custom build is that it is open sourced. This means that it is available for everyone to use, and it is free of charge. Our custom content management systems for larger projects bill monthly.
To decide whether a content management system is required for you and your business, we sit down with our partners before beginning the design process to talk about how you will be using your website. For partners that want to have continued access to their website to make changes and updates on their own following development, a content management system may be a great choice for you. For example, if you have a blog section on your website that you want to regularly contribute to, a content management system will allow you to make and edit posts on your site manually, rather than contacting us to do it on your behalf.
Alternatively if you are someone who doesn't want to deal with the pain or hassle of overseeing your website changes and updates, we've got you covered. Our team at Digital Entrigue is well equipped and more than happy to be at your disposal to make changes and updates to your website whenever needed.
When it comes to website design and development, there is a very large range of costs to account for when determining price. Depending on the technical complexity of your site as well as the graphic and content development required, the price for a website will vary accordingly.
