How to use steroids safely for bodybuilding
Many use steroids to enhance their bodybuilding effectiveness, especially those competing on the upper levels of the bodybuilding circuit such as Mr. Olympia. So what the science of steroids says The science behind the use of steroids in bodybuilding has been around a long time, what steroid do bodybuilders take. The use of steroids in bodybuilding began in the 1940s when they were prescribed to bodybuilders looking to increase their size and muscle mass, steroids for intestinal inflammation. The use of steroids had already been popularized by the 1960s and 1970s in sports such as football, baseball, ice hockey and track and field. Since the 1960s there have been three main forms of steroids used in bodybuilding: 1) Oral steroids: These are synthetic hormones, how to use steroids safely for bodybuilding. They are designed to act like natural steroids. However, they take more time for the body to metabolize, take longer for the effects of the drugs to show up and tend to be less effective. 2) Parenteral steroids: These are absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract so have the same effect as steroids, but are absorbed much more slowly. 3) Estradiol: An estrogen which has similar effects to androgen, however it is not made in the same way as anandamide, use steroids safely for how bodybuilding to. The first two forms of steroids are the most widely used because they have an immediate onset of effects, are non-addictive, provide short-lasting effects, and can be combined with other drugs, steroids for gym beginners. The use of steroids in bodybuilding has been around a long time Research into the use of steroids in bodybuilding began in the 1940s when they were prescribed to men competing in bodybuilding, most anabolic supplement. From there, they spread to athletes on athletic teams and bodybuilders who wanted to increase their physical performance, steroids for gym beginners. Steroid use in bodybuilding increased following the introduction of steroidal growth hormone (GH) in the 1960s and 1970s, steroids for hyperemesis uk. It was an important factor in the development of steroid-derived anandamide or, more specifically, bodybuilders looking to build greater muscle mass or enhance their performance (Brunner and De Vries, 2004). Steroids are a form of abuse, not a form of therapy The use of steroids in bodybuilding is the use of the most powerful and popular form of steroid ever, whereas the use in sports such as sports and boxing has little to nothing to do with abuse (Ekstrom, 2003).
By the time this occurs, the anabolic steroid has left the site of injection and is circulating systemically within the body. The time of the initial administration and/or prolonged period of time (hours to several days) following injection may be responsible for the increase the prevalence of anabolic steroid abuse. The increased incidence of anabolic steroid abuse in the past few years may be related to increases in injection drug use and the emergence of social media which enables individuals to share and discover information about products and treatments for human growth hormone deficiencies and other medical problems. The social media age may be leading more users to consider alternative, non-anabolic steroids in the form of synthetic anabolic steroids. For individuals with anabolic steroid deficiencies, the use of anabolic supplements such as whey protein concentrate appears to be contributing to increased use of steroid steroids, especially the anabolic steroids related to growth hormone (GH). As is the case with other drugs of abuse, the emergence of such new drugs of abuse in the human drug landscape should lead to increased concern to government agencies in regulating the distribution and prescription of these drugs to individuals who may be susceptible. Currently, a report prepared by the U.S. Congress reveals that about 80% of all GH deficiency cases are attributed to non-dietary treatments. In a recent study conducted by the U.S. Department of Energy's Joint Drug Review Panel (2011), investigators from North Carolina State University and the University of Chicago analyzed the pharmacology and pharmacodynamics of growth hormone replacement medications. There were approximately 20,000 reported GH treatments in 2012 in men and women in the U.S. that included the administration of GH-releasing hormone agonists, agonists and agonists of testosterone, agonists and antagonists of GH. In terms of the effects of these medications on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HGP) axis, HSPH is the predominant axis in the body. The HSPH axis is responsible for regulating the production of the gonadotrophins, including testosterone, estradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and LH. To meet the needs of various populations, researchers now are looking for strategies that utilize the HGP axis in patients, including those with anabolic steroid deficiencies, that would improve the treatment of GH deficiency and other medical conditions. The effects of both the GH-releasing hormone agonists and agonists of androgens are complex. The GH-releasing hormones produce changes in the activity of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal (HGP) axis and thereby, in the structure and Similar articles:

Former players praise Avs' choice for coach
SportsColorado Avalanche
By Adrian Dater | adater@denverpost.com | The Denver Post
Aaron MacKenzie had some good coaching when he played at the University of Denver from 1999-2003, and the former Pioneers defenseman said he has had the same under new Avalanche coach Joe Sacco during his time with the Lake Erie Monsters.
"He was a hard-working guy when he played, and that's what he expects from all his players," said MacKenzie, who played with the Avalanche and Monsters in 2008-09.
"We had like 56 guys come through (Lake Erie) last year, but we were in the playoff race all season. He is real professional. We had such a young team at Lake Erie, but he taught the young guys how to be true professionals and come to the rink every day to work. I think that goes a long ways."
MacKenzie also had praise for Sacco's assistant at Lake Erie, Sylvain Lefebvre, who will join Sacco on the Avs' bench in the same role.
"He's a very easy guy to talk to, and he sure helped me with my game," said MacKenzie, who played five games with the Avs.
Marty Sertich, the former Hobey Baker winner with Colorado College who played under Sacco with the Monsters, echoed MacKenzie's analysis.
"I think he'll do a good job. He's a younger guy, who connects well with the guys. I thought he did a great job with us last year at Lake Erie. We were awful young and had a lot of injuries, but he and Sly did a great job," Sertich said.
"Nothing but good experiences playing for those guys last year. They work really well together, for whatever reason."
The Avalanche stumbled badly down the stretch last season, with a roster largely made up of call-ups from the Monsters.
But former Avs coach Tony Granato had high praise for the NHL readiness of those players, and some, such as T.J. Galiardi and Raymond Macias, were some of their best players in the final games.
"I think that's the thing that impressed (management) at the Avalanche," former Avs player and executive Steve Konowalchuk said. "The guys who were called up had real good preparation for the NHL level.
"I think that played a good factor in him getting the coaching job. He prepared his players to take it to the next level, not only on the ice, but how they handled themselves."
Said MacKenzie: "I'm happy for those two guys. They worked hard and are good coaches. They both played the game and know what they're doing."
Konowalchuk, who played with Sacco with the Washington Capitals, said the new Avs coach knows only one thing: hard work.
"That's how he lasted so long in the NHL as a player, and that's what I think will make him a good coach," Konowalchuk said. "He played in the minors at times as a player, and he's worked his way up from there as a coach. He's a guy who will work as hard as he can to make that team successful, that's for sure."

Liam Neeson throat punches the box office, plus the week ahead
By Eric N on January 30th, 2012
"The Grey" snagged an estimated 20 million and the top spot this weekend according to Box Office Mojo, who points out that that's a win for the distributor:
The Grey opened lower than Taken's $24.7 million and also a tad below Unknown ($21.9 million). Those were both PG-13, featured robust marketing from their big-time distributors, and were essentially cousins of the Bourne series. For The Grey to even come close to those movies speaks both to Mr. Neeson's drawing power and the importance of having an interesting, easily conveyable story (in this case, it was "Liam Neeson fights wolves!").
As far as "Underworld: Awakening", slightly surprising...
Last weekend's winner Underworld Awakening dipped 51 percent to an estimated $12.5 million. That's a stronger hold than any of the previous Underworld movies had, and its $45.1 million total through 10 days is also a franchise best.
Everyone here at BGH may not be okay with that, but I wouldn't mind if we saw more of these films... especially if that gets us one step closer to the inevitable "Resident Evil" Crossover I've been obsessing over ever since we brainstormed the idea on the latest podcast episode. Just think of all the sexy, sexy possibilities...
Anyway, we'll be sitting down to record a show on "Wolffighter 3D" Monday night. I haven't gotten reports from every podcaster yet, but I will say that at least one of them expressed their desire to have this film be "inside" them, so take that how you will... Also, newbie Andrew apparently likes being harassed because he's joining us again this week. You should probably start getting excited, like now.
Other things you can expect this week, a text review of "The Grey" here on the site, a bunch of horror-themed music videos to feast your eyes on, Joe exploring his disturbed thoughts in the daily news, and of course, more Livestreaming! Stay tuned to Twitter or Facebook to see who's up on the chopping block next. That's Thursday, 7:30pm EST.

Q: cannot find keytool on a mac I am trying to find my keytool so that I can make keys to sign my app and to register for the google maps api
I'm beginning to think that I don't actually have it on my machine
If anyone could help point me in the right direction that would be great

A: The actual tool should be installed all ready, as to my knowledge it ships with the MAC. You then have to create the .keystore file http://www.androiddevelopment.org/tag/keytool/ shows how to do it

A: If you are using Eclipse under Mac OS X you just need to
Select File -> Export -> select Android -> Export Android Application -> click next -> select your project -> click next -> here you just chose Create new keystore

A: If you already have android studio installed, then keytool is located at
/Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home/bin/keytool

example to generate sha1 and sha256 using keytool
/Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home/bin/keytool -genkey -v -keystore ~/key.jks -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -alias key

A: To answer the original question, on my Mac, keytool is found at /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/keytool.
You can locate the Java home directory using the /usr/libexec/java_home command line tool on Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

A: I did the following and it worked for me:

*

*/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_161.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-release-key.keystore -alias my_keystone -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

*jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA256withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore my-release-key.keystore app-release-unsigned.apk my_keystone

*/Users/developer/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/28.0.3/zipalign -v 4 app-release-unsigned.apk nameapp.apk

A: Simply use your keytool command in Android Studio Terminal for Mac with a random password
keytool -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore | openssl sha1 -binary | openssl base64
you will get -

There are 3 reasons why you came to this page: 1) You saw me on Tinder and are trying to learn more about me/stalking me. 2) You enjoy my blog the way that I enjoy the Kardashians, aka either loving to hate me or making fun of every move I do. 3) You want to hear about fashion and food from someone who is passionate about both. Well, if you're the third type, you're in luck, because this blog is for you.
I was honored to be invited to a dinner at Tommy Bahama at Harbourside Place in Jupiter for the debut of their new cookbook, "Flavors of the Southern Coast." What I did not expect was to have one of the best dinners I have been invited to, to date. To start, in order to get to the restaurant, you need to walk through the clothing store, which is full of shirts, shorts, swimsuits and more, just perfect for that Florida vibe.
I even scored a Father's Day present (whoops, there goes the surprise) for my Dad – once I smelled their newest cologne, Maritime, I was hooked and knew my ever-stylish, handsome father would be perfectly complimented by this fragrance. (Mom, aren't you glad Dad won't smell like basketball sweat anymore?!). The scent is manly and musky but soft enough for a woman to enjoy.
While we were waiting for the dinner to commence and browsing the store, (which by the way, if you're a Delray resident like me, is now open on Atlantic Ave!!) we were served up a few unique bites like the Crab Cake and the Conch Fritter. I immediately fell head over heels for the conch fritter due to the red pepper sauce that it was topped with, and the addition of the jalapeño which gave it a kick. It was a welcome change from the tartar or aioli or cocktail sauce that conch fritters are usually served with, and I'll expand on my obsession of the red pepper sauce a bit later in this blog. Yes, just like the movie "21 Jump Street," this sauce had a sequel that is even better than the first.
We fancy. Oh yes, we fancy. How can you NOT melt at a table set this gorgeously? And what is more perfect is that when you dine at Tommy Bahama, you have a direct view of the water, so whether you live here or are vacationing, the setting, combined with the view and the very chill live music makes you feel like you are in vacation mode.
The picture above of the Seafood-Avocado Cocktail served as our amuse bouche. If you don't know what an amuse bouche is, then you clearly don't know how to use Google, but as always, I'm here to help. Wikipedia defines it as "a single, bite-sized hors d'œuvre. Amuse-bouches are different from appetizers in that they are not ordered from a menu by patrons but are served gratis and according to the chef's selection alone. These, often accompanied by a complementing wine, are served both to prepare the guest for the meal and to offer a glimpse into the chef's approach to the art of cuisine." This scrumptious bite consisted of poached shrimp, lump crab, lime, jalapeño, cucumber and cilantro. To describe in two words? Refreshing AF.
Part of the deal was that each dish was served with one of their new cocktails. I know, twist my arm. The above is their Hurricane Punch which is mixed with Cruzan Light Rum, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum, and Florida Key Lime Juice. It literally tastes like Florida. And for those of you whose first thought is suntan lotion and Metamucil, let me clarify: it's just really freaking tropical and delicious.
Our second cocktail pairing came while we were waiting to be served our entree. You're currently gazing at the "Sazerac," a blend of Carpano Antica, Demerara, St. George Absinthe Verte, and Luxardo Maraschino. I know, you probably have no idea what any of that means. I thought about including all the definitions for you, but what is wrong with the millennial generation is that they've had their hand held for too long, so if you want to know what something is, I'll do you a favor and let you know that you can simply copy and paste any of those phrases in to Google, and a definition will come up. Trust me, you'll thank me for not indulging in your laziness. That being said, this drink is STRONG. Not for the weak. The taste is great, but please, be responsible and always have a designated driver or Uber!! But for those that love that kick, you'll dig it.
I used to think that J.Lo defined "Triple Threat" until this plate. If you do go in to the restaurant, these actually are three separate dishes, but I was lucky enough to get a taste of them all on one plate. Remember that Red Pepper Sauce I was obsessed with? Well, it's also paired with the Stuffed Chicken Breast, which was so crispy and juicy and paired perfectly with that sauce. Secret fact: I was so in love with this sauce, and their customer service is so incredibly amazing, that they gave me some extra to take home. I have literally dipped Chicken McNuggets in to this sauce and immediately felt like I was at a five star restaurant again. The Pan Seared Florida Black Grouper, pictured in the middle, is served with a Quinoa Succotash and Jalapeño-Lime Butter, and is basically just a few bites away from heaven. My favorite though, which is pictured all the way to the right, is the Jerk Pork Tenderloin, topped with a Pineapple Rum Sauce. Simple but so complex (which I think is my headline on match.com these days). It truly was cooked perfectly and all it needed was a simple sweet sauce to complete it. Wow factor.
Food and Fashion – but where would we be without dessert? We were treated to a Key Lime Pie and a Chocolate Pecan Bar, a perfect end to a truly perfect meal.
And if that weren't enough, it was topped off with a Key Lime Martini, which is shaken with Keke Key Lime Liquor, Van Gogh Blue, Licor 43, Florida Key Lime Juice and served with a graham cracker rim. I was so stuffed at this point, and this is the kind of martini that is a bit filling, so I could only indulge in a few sips, but those few sips were sweet and delicious. Absolutely a MUST for Key Lime lovers.
Set in one of the most beautiful places on earth, and serving dishes to compliment it, I can't imagine a better night than an insanely good meal overlooking the water. And my advice? Do the meal and cocktails before you shop the store. You're so much more fun when you don't set a limit on your credit card.


The security robots are made by a company called Knightscope, located in Mountain View. The K5 version uses lasers, thermal imaging sensors, 360 video, air quality sensors, a microphone and various other technologies to deter and detect criminal activities. In the event of suspicious activity, the robot alerts local human authorities. Stacy Dean Stephens, Knightscope vice president of marketing and sales, told NBC Bay Area that the company does not think the robots are dangerous. "This is a horrific accident, but we believe the technology and the machines are incredibly safe and we will continue to do our best to make sure that they are," Stephens said.
The creators of Mimus, a 1,200-kg (2646 lbs.) industrial robot that can sense and respond to human movement, believe it's possible. Part art-installation, part display of engineering ingenuity, Mimus was created from an ABB IRB 6700 robot and commissioned for the "Fear and Love" exhibit at The Design Museum with the goal of promoting companionship between humans and machines. The robot's creator notes that this particular machine is more like a "she" than an "it." Most industrial robots are made to perform repetitive tasks, but Mimus has no pre-planned movements and is instead programmed to freely explore the space around her and to interact with visitors. The exhibit designers wanted to replicate the experience of seeing a large, exotic animal at a zoo.
This robot dives to depths humans dare not attempt - and it can bring people along for the ride without them getting wet. The Stanford-built OceanOne is filled with compressible oil to offset the crushing pressures experienced when 100 metres underwater, and AI-assisted navigation steers it clear of obstacles. Its operators remain on land, observing on screen everything the robot captures, using joysticks to drive it and guiding its hands through a feedback mechanism that relays tactile sensations. "It's impossible to let a robot act alone in such an environment: it will fail," says Professor Oussama Khatib, OceanOne's creator. "The only way you can guarantee success is connecting a worker through a haptic device to the robot.
Researchers in Germany are developing a way for robots to feel pain, in the hopes that doing so will enable them to better protect humans. The researchers, from Leibniz University of Hannover, are working on an "artificial robot nervous system to teach robots how to feel pain," IEEE Spectrum reports, and presented their project at a robotics and automation conference in Sweden last week. Under the system, robots would identify pain and quickly respond to avoid further damage to their parts. Johannes Kuehn, one of the researchers working on the system, says that enabling robots to feel and react to pain could help mitigate damage in the same way that humans sense pain to protect themselves. "Pain is a system that protects us," Kuehn tells IEEE Spectrum.
We've seen plenty of Robot dogs in the past, like Sony AIBO or the iCybie, which wasn't as smart, but was still a lovable dog. A new robot named, Canine Home Intelligent Pet, or CHiP by a company called WowWee, aimed at taking things to the next level and it's a cyber-pooch that is packed with sensors and features. In the head of the device is an array of infrared sensors, giving the dog a complete 360-degree field of view that is used for things like finding a special ball and the dog's charging bed. Not only that, but the device also has Bluetooth compatibility, enabling it to connect with a special smart band. Users can wear the band, which helps the dog keep track of them.

11 A possible mechanism effecting the earlier onset of southwesterly monsoon 247 Fig. 10. Meridional circulation along 75 E (the topography shaded) averaged a before the monsoon onset (May 1±5), b during the onset of the SCS monsoon (May 21±25), and c during the onset of the Indian monsoon (June 11±15). Unit: v (m/s),! (10 2 Pa/s) from the Northern Hemisphere to the Southern Hemisphere. This shows that the meridional belt along 75 E is still characterized by the typical vertical circulation in winter at this stage. Up to May 21±25 (Fig. 10b), the meridional circulation changes. The Southern Hemisphere Hadley circulation dominates in the upper atmosphere between the equator and 20 S, with its northward expansion the ascending branch moves northward signi cantly and the wind directions in the lower and middle layers over the equator reverse, owing from the Southern to the Northern Hemisphere in turn. The north Hadley circulation shrinks to a narrow one but still maintains over the Northern Hemisphere. Its sinking branch south to the TP controls the most subtropical region of the Northern Hemisphere. Therefore, the circulation pattern over the IP is still in the transition period from winter to summer during the onset of the SCS monsoon. Not until June 11±15 (Fig. 10c) does the pattern change radically. During June 11 to 15, the Southern Hemisphere Hadley cell moves further north to the equator with sinking in the south and ascending in the north, opposite to the pattern before that stage. At the same time, an ascending ow dominates most regions south to the Plateau as well. The Indian monsoon bursts out. By examining Fig. 9 and Fig. 10 together, we can nd that the seasonal variation of the meridional circulation near the equator exhibits remarkable regional features. Along the longitude of 115 E, the SCS is roughly located from 7.5 N to 20 N and the east China is to the north. The topography there is comparatively smooth and favorable to the seasonal adjustment of meridional circulation. However, at 75 E, the TP is there in the north and blocks the air ow from south. Strong downdrafts, south to the Plateau, block the northward shift of the upward motions and therefore delay the seasonal adjustment of meridional circulation. This clearly presents the dynamic aspect of the in uence of the TP topography on the onset time of monsoon, too. 5. Conclusions and discussions Based on the above analyses, we can conclude this study as follows: During the onset of the SCS monsoon, the meteorological element elds, the horizontal and the vertical circulation change signi cantly. By taking the appearance of the southwesterly wind in the lower layers and the easterly wind in the upper layers as the indicator of the SCS monsoon onset, the SCS monsoon onsets roughly on May 23, 1998, which is a little later than normal. The Indian monsoon bursts out around June 16. The time variations of the daily mean divergence elds in the upper and the lower layers are consistent with the above monsoon process.

Better Chinese Tech Stock: Alibaba or Baidu
Which tech giant has a brighter future?

Alibaba and Baidu were crushed by China's unpredictable crackdown on its top tech companies.
However, both companies also face challenges unrelated to the government's actions.
Both stocks are cheap, but they won't command higher valuations unless they overcome their near-term challenges.
Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) and Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) are two of the largest tech companies in China. Alibaba owns the country's largest e-commerce marketplaces and its top cloud infrastructure platform. Baidu owns the country's largest online search engine.
I compared these two tech giants back in April and declared Baidu was a better buy because it faced fewer regulatory headwinds, had a lower valuation, and its core advertising business was gradually recovering. But both stocks have burned investors since I wrote that article: Baidu's stock price has declined about 30%, while Alibaba's stock price has tumbled nearly 50%.
Let's see why investors dumped Alibaba and Baidu over the past eight months, and if either battered stock has a shot at recovering next year.
China's tech crackdown
China's crackdown on its top tech companies over the past year caused many investors to sell all of their Chinese tech stocks.
That crackdown included a record antitrust fine against Alibaba in April, smaller fines against other tech companies (including Baidu) for unapproved investments and acquisitions, a ban on most for-profit education platforms, a temporary suspension of new video game approvals, tighter video game playtime restrictions for minors, and new data privacy restrictions for popular mobile apps and services.
China also seems to be pressuring its top tech companies to delist their U.S. shares and relist their shares in Hong Kong. At the same time, U.S. regulators are considering delisting shares of Chinese companies that don't comply with tighter auditing standards. All those challenges have made it very difficult to invest in Chinese tech leaders like Alibaba and Baidu.
Alibaba's flaws are becoming more visible
Alibaba generates most of its revenue and all of its profits from its commerce business, which hosts its Chinese online marketplaces, its overseas online marketplaces, its brick-and-mortar stores, and its Cainiao logistics subsidiary.
The commerce segment's year-over-year revenue growth has decelerated over the past two quarters, mainly due to difficult comparisons against the pandemic, tough competition from rivals like JD.com and Pinduoduo, and new government-imposed restrictions on its exclusive deals with merchants and algorithm-driven pricing strategies.
The commerce segment's margins are also declining, due to its growing dependence on lower-margin businesses (brick-and-mortar stores, cross-border commerce, and Cainiao) to boost its sales.
That pressure could make it harder for Alibaba to support the growth of its unprofitable cloud, digital media, and innovation initiatives segments over the long term. Alibaba's cloud business could also struggle to maintain its double-digit sales growth as China enforces its new data privacy rules.
Back in May, Alibaba expected its revenue to rise 30% in fiscal 2022, which ends next March. It reiterated that target in August. But in November, it abruptly slashed that forecast to just 20%-23% growth, citing tougher challenges ahead for its commerce business. Analysts expect its earnings to decline 16% for the full year as its margins continue to contract.
Baidu faces similar problems
Baidu generates most of its revenue from its online marketing business, which sells search ads, display ads, and managed business pages. This core business struggled before and throughout the pandemic as it faced tougher competition in China's saturated advertising market.
Baidu's online marketing revenue fell year over year for seven straight straight quarters before finally returning to growth over the past three quarters. But at the same time, Baidu relied more heavily on expanding its unprofitable cloud business -- which ranks a distant fourth place in China's cloud infrastructure market (according to Canalys) -- to grow its revenue.
Baidu also still owns iQiyi (NASDAQ:IQ), an unprofitable streaming video platform that has become a dead weight on its bottom-line growth. Baidu previously relied on iQiyi's revenue as its ad business slowed down, but iQiyi's top-line growth has been anemic over the past year.
Therefore, Baidu faces a similar problem as Alibaba: It's still dependent on revenue from its lower-margin businesses (especially its cloud segment) to offset the slower growth of its higher-margin online marketing business. That dynamic could gradually make it harder for Baidu to support the expansion of its newer AI and driverless vehicle platforms.
Baidu expects its revenue to rise 14%-17% in fiscal 2021, which aligns with the calendar year. However, analysts expect its earnings to decline 17% as it relies more heavily on its lower-margin businesses. Baidu also expects China's regulatory crackdown to throttle its near-term advertising growth.
Which stock is the better investment?
Alibaba and Baidu both look cheap at just 16 times forward earnings. However, they're cheap for obvious reasons: Both companies face tough regulatory headwinds, and they're both struggling with unbalanced growth.
I personally wouldn't touch either stock until the regulatory headwinds wane. If that happens, I'd be more bullish on Alibaba, since it will remain China's top e-commerce and cloud company for the foreseeable future. Baidu won't fade away anytime soon, but it still feels much more like a legacy player compared to higher-growth advertising platforms like Bilibili or Tencent's WeChat.

Thermophysical properties of buta-1,3-diene.
ESDU 89005 provides evaluated thermophysical properties data for buta-1,3-diene. Equations, based on a critical evaluation of experimental data in the literature are given for the variation with temperature along the saturation line for the following liquid and vapour properties: density, specific enthalpy, specific heat capacity at constant pressure, dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity. Also given are equations for the variation with temperature along the saturation line of the vapour pressure, latent heat of vaporisation and surface tension. Also presented are equations for the variation with temperature of the specific heat capacity at constant pressure and specific enthalpy in the ideal gas, the dilute gas dynamic viscosity and the dilute gas thermal conductivity. Saturation line properties in SI units, calculated from the equations are tabulated at 5 K intervals and at 5 degree Celsius intervals from the melting temperature to the critical temperature for the vapour pressure, saturation densities and surface tension and to within at least 43 kelvin of the critical temperature for the remainder. Ideal and dilute gas properties, also in SI units calculated from the equations are tabulated at 20 K and at 20 degree Celsius intervals from the melting temperature to 1000 K. In the absence of experimental data, the tabulated data are extrapolated values and these are indicated in the tables. Conversion factors to facilitate use of the equations and tables in British units are included. A full bibliography is given of the sources consulted.
Amendment (A), 01 May 2003

Curiosity, the will to innovate, and a great deal of research are the hallmarks of the work by Paulo Braga, also known as DJ Roots. It was in 2001, where DJ Roots began a DJ course at the Pragatecno - an electronic music organization created in 1998 in north-northeast Brazil. There he developed a djing style that mixes jazzy, funky, soulful sounds without neglect to the various other styles that lie within drum and bass.
DJ Roots has since become a member of the Pragatecno staff. By helping establish monthly projects such as, DB and the D-Breaks, he became an integral part of the group responsible for starting the junglists movement in Bahia. Nowadays, DJ Roots has established BOOH! - the first organization solely dedicated to building and promoting the Bahia drum and bass scene.
In the beginning of 2005, he was invited by internationally acclaimed Brazilian musician Fernanda Porto to participate in her performance at the Carnival de Salvador, an event promoting her most recent album, Giramundo. DJ Roots had produced remix work to be used in the performance.
Daring and versatility are also marks of the DJ Roots' s work. In 2005, a partnership with Rafael Ponde produced a drum and bass remix of Sorriso de Flor. This became the first track released on Marky and XRS's Innerground Records. Together with Marky and another rising Brazilian dj/producer, Bungle, they produced a track entitled, Restart, which was featured on High Contrast's Fabric Live compilation late in 2005. He also remixed tunes by German-based Phoneheads - Buscape and Roll That Stone. The latter utilized the vocal talents of singer/MC Cleveland Watkiss of England.
Amongst the great events DJ Roots has participated in are some notable events that have highlighted phases of his career.
In 2003, when he was still part of the Pragatecno collective, he was invited to play during the Carnival of Salvador at Expresso 2222 by the minister of Brazilian culture, Gilbert Gil. This event also had in its presence, great djs in the DnB scene such as Marcus Intalex (UK), Marky and XRS. That same year, in JoÆo Person, he participated at 'Break It Down', a project realized by the Oversonix collective which also included an appearance by DJ Mad Zoo. Roots also participated at two editions of Soar Festival hosted by the Fashion Club of Salvador. These events, which hosted a public attendance of more than 3,000 fans, included popular figures such as DJs Patife, Marky and XRS, as well as MCs Fats and Cleveland Watkiss, thus marking the beginning of a consolidated scene in the Bahian capital.
In 2004, Roots played for the first time in the electronic tent of Festival de VerÆo Salvador, the event that occurs before the Bahian Carnival with attendance of more than 50,000 people each day. That April, during a brief tour of SÆo Paulo, Roots played in two of the larger weekly projects, one of them being the 'Vibe' night at Lov.e Club hosted by DJ Marky. In May, he was invited by Chris DB to participate in the writing of the 3Breakers Combat! DVD project in Fortaleza. To round out 2004, Roots was invited to tour with DJ Patife including events such as a beach party at Stella Maris in Salvador.
In 2005 he participated again at the electronic tent at the Festival de VerÆo Salvador. In 2005's Carnival of Bahia, he played together with Fernanda Porto in the electronic trio of Daniela Mercury. Luminaries such as Ramiro Mussoto and Ramilson Maia were also in attendance. In April, he played once again at DJ Marky's 'Vibe' weekly at Lov.e Club in SÆo Paulo. To round out the year, Roots played at Calbuque, Yanay and Marcelinho's clubnight 'Fever' hosted at the House of Matrix. With a driving passion and inspiration to spread the music of Drum and Bass.

Close Apapa Port and Rebuild the Road
May 9, 2017 Cedmagazine	0 Comments
Wailing, lamentation, wailing, lamentation, wailing, lamentation for Apapa. Indeed, the famous Apapa port provokes a national wailing and lamentation. The situation is horrific. It is terrible and unbelievable. The road to Apapa from Mile 2 through Tin Can Island Port has totally collapsed. Trailers can no longer pass through to evacuate imports. It is a harrowing experience. It is hellish going to Apapa. Haba, Apapa is gone! Property owners in Apapa are disposing them to would-be buyers. Residents are deserting the area.
The only alternative road through Costain is also decrepit and perpetually blocked with traffic. Few people go to Apapa with their car. Those who attempt it spend the whole day in the hellish gridlock. It is not that the roads suddenly collapsed. The roads have been disintegrating over the years without being maintained. Clearly, Apapa has been abandoned.
Right now, only pedestrians and motorcyclists (okada) can access Apapa. Tricycles (keke) can't. If the situation is this deplorable in the dry season, what will happen as rainy season and floods begin to take over the road?
In a way, the current recession, which has led to a drastic fall in imports, is a blessing in disguise. If importation is coming the normal way, there is no road to evacuate the goods from the port. Is it not good enough that the diminished importation has saved Nigeria from national embarrassment?
I visited Apapa the other day and cried for Nigeria. I rode on okada to be able to reach the place. Thereafter, I got cold and catarrh from the dust that drenched my eyes, mouth and nostrils while on okada. The appalling condition of the road is a national shame. Apapa is also the dirtiest part of Lagos.
What a country? Nothing can be worse than that.
Apapa is the fourth largest and busiest port in Africa after Djibouti, Mombasa and Durban. But the port has practically closed due to bad road and the government seems unconcerned. Yet, importation through Apapa is the second highest income earner for the government after oil.
In the absence of railway to evacuate imports from the port, too much pressure is put on the roads by the heavy-duty trucks and trailers. Consequently, the entire Apapa is bedlam. The Kirikiri axis typifies anarchy. Going to Kirikiri is like going to hell. Apapa and its environs is a nightmare.
The only option left to government now is to close the Apapa port and rebuild the roads. Just as the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja was closed for six weeks to resurface the dilapidated tarmac, Apapa port is in a worse condition and should be closed for the roads to be rebuilt. That is the only way continuation of business could be guaranteed.
Except that is done, I am afraid the port is on the verge of dying as shipping companies stop their operations there. There are many seaports in Nigeria that have died due to collapsed infrastructure. Calabar, Port Harcourt, Brutu, Forcados, are some examples of non-functional Nigerian ports.
Already, indications are that most importers and exporters have abandoned the Apapa port for Cotonou port in Benin Republic. Nigeria is losing billions in revenue while Benin Republic is reaping from Nigeria's loss.
The challenge now is on the Minister of Works, Power and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, to shut the Apapa port and rebuild the road. The same way the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi stamped his feet on the ground to close the Abuja Airport for repairs to take place against all odds, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola should stamp his feet on the ground and seek for the closure of the port for the road to be rebuilt. The inconveniences and losses that would be incurred is nothing compared to the death of the port. Right now, heavy losses are being incurred as a result of the bad road and nobody seems to be talking about it.
Certainly, there will be costs and inconveniences. But you don't stop the delivery of a baby because blood is coming out. The baby must be delivered while blood comes out, after which there is cleaning and joy over the birth of a new baby. We had the same experience with Abuja Airport and the work was done. Right now, landing and take-off are now smooth. A price must be paid for the ineptitude of the Federal Government over the years on infrastructure. The Apapa road was probably built since 1981 when the Tin Can Island Port was built. Ever since then, the road was left to disintegrate.
Today, the road represents the deepest part of hell. Let the people lament for Apapa. Let the shipping companies lament for Apapa. Let trailer drivers, terminal operators, customs, clearing and forwarding agents lament for Apapa. Let bus (danfo) drivers that ply the route together with the Apapa residents lament.
Let people who work in Apapa lament. Everybody should join the national lamentation for the death of Apapa. The sight is unimaginable. Anyone who hasn't been to Apapa in recent times won't understand. The once popular Apapa in Lagos is a shadow of its former self. Unfortunately, the Federal Government watches the road close while at the same time raking in billions annually from the port.
How a major highway leading to such a major port was left to disintegrate to the point of impassability is worrisome. It underscores everything that is wrong with Nigeria. The miss-governance that has been the bane of Nigeria has taken toll on Apapa. And up till this moment, there is no indication, whatsoever, that anyone is thinking about rehabilitating the road. Every year billions are budgeted for roads with no result.
That such a critical road leading to Apapa port was left to close is an indictment on the Federal Government that claims to own the road. Perhaps, the Lagos State Government or some private investors would have done something about it if they were allowed.
As the rainy season starts, more heavy-duty trailers bearing containers would get stuck in the mud or overturn with fallen containers. The more such vehicles get stuck without a way for rescue; Apapa would become a huge junkyard for irretrievable trucks and trailers. The ball is in Fashola's court to play. As a former Lagos State governor, there will be no excuse to give if he fails to rebuild the road. Otherwise, Apapa is gone.

Q: Can anybody explain the syntax of (function(){}) function(){alert}

VM701:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Function statements
  require a function name

(function(){alert})
I typed in two lines of code in the console. the second line is just the first line in (). See what I got? What does () do here. Can anybody explain the syntax of it?

A: The parens tell JavaScript to interpret what ever is between them as an expression.  If the expression is valid, then carry out the instructions in the expression. SO, in this case the parens turn an invalid syntax into a function expression.
All language
Primary Expressions are tokenized as CoveredParenthesizedExpression and Evaluated as Parenthesized expressions.
Primary Expressions

When processing the production
  PrimaryExpression[Yield] : CoverParenthesizedExpressionAndArrowParameterList[?Yield]

the
  interpretation of CoverParenthesizedExpressionAndArrowParameterList is
  refined using the following grammar:
   ParenthesizedExpression[Yield] : ( Expression[In, ?Yield] )

CoveredParenthesizedExpression

Static Semantics: CoveredParenthesizedExpression
 CoverParenthesizedExpressionAndArrowParameterList[Yield] : (Expression[In, ?Yield] )

Return the result of parsing the lexical
  token stream matched by
  CoverParenthesizedExpressionAndArrowParameterList[Yield] using either
  ParenthesizedExpression or ParenthesizedExpression[Yield] as the goal
  symbol depending upon whether the [Yield] grammar parameter was
  present when CoverParenthesizedExpressionAndArrowParameterList was
  matched.

Evaluation of Parenthesized expressions.

Runtime Semantics: Evaluation
PrimaryExpression : CoverParenthesizedExpressionAndArrowParameterList

Let expr be CoveredParenthesizedExpression of
  CoverParenthesizedExpressionAndArrowParameterList. Return the result
  of evaluating expr.
        ParenthesizedExpression : ( Expression )
Return
  the result of evaluating Expression. This may be of type Reference.
NOTE This algorithm does not apply GetValue to the result of
  evaluating Expression. The principal motivation for this is so that
  operators such as delete and typeof may be applied to parenthesized
  expressions.

A: This type of functions are called anonymous functions, and usually are assigned to a variable:
var fun1 = function(){ ... }

assigns an anonymous function to the variable fun1.
fun1

[Function: fun1]

so when you put the parenthesis, you are executing that function.
If you wrap it, javascript evaluates it as a function:
(function(){ ... })

[Function]

You cal also execute it in the same moment wrapping the function with parenthesis:
(function(){ ... })()

If you do not put a name , assign it or execute it, you will not be able to execute it later, and javascript will throw an error.

Educating America's youth can be a challenge. Shrinking budgets, expanding class sizes, and lower salaries are the norm. But those two pieces of the puzzle are solvable. What is hard is figuring out how to deal with REALLY bad children and teens. Violent teens, angry teens, disrespectful kids. The worst part is that it's often a completely thankless job.
Consider these stories, curated from Reddit and highlighting some of the worst of the worst that teachers have to deal with in today's schools. It will shock and anger you and it should. They deserve better. All posts have been edited for clarity.
"This is a story from my mother, who is a middle school art teacher in a small Southern Baptist town in North Carolina.
One day, the art room was given new tables. It is a tradition that the tables in the art room are always covered with artwork by the students (usually just finger painting and stuff).
So my mom asks the students what they would like to paint on the tables. One girl says she wants to paint a big cross on her group's table with maybe a piece of scripture from the bible.
After thinking it over, my mother says that because of the spirit of separation of church and state, she wouldn't be comfortable with allowing a big cross to be painted on a table (state property, in a state institution) unless they painted symbols from many faiths from multiple cultures from around the world, as that would be more educational and would not support or endorse a specific religion over others.
My mother drops it, but the kid goes home and tells his parents. His parents go to the board of education and tell them the same thing as the girl's parents.
The county board of education fired her. It is not until my mother walks in to a board meeting with a lawyer in tow that they hire her back. Never in my life have I wanted so much to punch a group of people in the face."
Sending The Burn Right Back!
"I used to substitute for my father when I was in college. He taught 7th and 8th grade history in a horrible district (which I had gone through).
The class erupted in laughter, the kid got all quiet and pouted for the rest of the day."
Said by a grade five student to a male teacher in front of me. He was scared to say the least.
Ah the joys of teaching in Hong Kong.
The first year I was in Hong Kong, I taught at a ritzy kindergarten ($1,200 per month for half-day classes), and I had an English student in my class.
I thought he was joking, so I laughed. He got EXTREMELY upset, and demanded an apology. I laughed again, still thinking he was trying to wind me up. He went to the principal and she asked me to apologize. At this time, there was a waiting list of about 40 kids for my class. There was no way I was gonna address this schmuck as 'lord.' I told the principal that if the guy didn't drop it, she could let him go, or let me go. She moved his kid to another class. Every time I saw that guy, I greeted him cheerfully with, 'Hello Mr. Howard, beautiful day isn't it?'"
"I was a substitute teacher on the side for a couple years.
One day, I was covering an 8th-grade music class in southeast South Carolina. All the kids had to do was watch a movie. Some bully punk thought it would be funny to slap a special needs kid in the back of his neck just to mess with him. This kid had a 40+ year old lady who went with him everywhere as his special needs assistant. She just looked at me and didn't do anything.
The kid immediately started to cry. I asked the lady what happens and she said, 'he hit him,' kind of nonchalantly.
I was a sub, remember, so I made $65 per DAY, so I wasn't about to put up with any crap from some punk who reminded me of many a punk I had to deal with back when I was in school.
I put a sweet, helpful girl 'in-charge' of the class and walked that little punk down to the office and told the principal and the police officer that he had assaulted a special needs student, and the cop's eyes get really angry, really fast. The principal is ticked, too -- they don't like subs having to come to them with problems because it makes them look like they can't control their kids (which, they cannot).
I hand the kid over to them, the cop is already pulling out his notepad/ticket book, the principal is red, and the kid is white with fear.
I walked out of there feeling like a champion, as if I had reclaimed/avenged some part of my youth. I really hate bullies."
One rule was the students weren't ever allowed to have ANYTHING sharp on them. No pencil sharpeners. When biology class came around for dissections, there were very limited probes, scissors and pins. They were all supervised very carefully as well.
The most important rule all of the teachers understood was to NEVER TURN YOUR BACK TO THE KIDS. You wanted to write on the board? You do it without looking. Read? You had someone else do it, and you kept your guard up at ALL times.
She didn't work there very long.
One kid overdosed in the middle of class and died right there, and my teacher had to literally tell all of the other kids that he was sleeping while she had to pick up his dead body and bring it to the guards stationed nearby 'to get him some place better to sleep' so all of the other kids wouldn't freak out and go on a killing rampage.
Verbal abuse, violent threats and death threats were all supposed to be taken extremely literal. If they said that they were going to kill you and your unborn baby, you better believe that they meant every word and they will do it.
She went to a public school (a regular high school, not a messed up one) and all of the 'gangsters' there thought they were tough guys. They didn't even begin to know the stuff she has been through.
Dealing with those kids was like a vacation for her."
"I teach high school science.
Worst question: 'Are you on your period?' I'm male.
Worst action: One of my students jumped into a fight in the hallway from inside my classroom. She had some problems, but we had a great rapport and I didn't want her getting into the fight. She and her sisters were jumping this defenseless, smaller girl, and so some other teachers and I tried to break it up. I was holding her back and telling her to stop, but she just scratched and clawed at me to get at this other girl. I got pretty messed up, considering she was my height and outweighed me, and I was afraid to use too much force. This was the worst action because of how far she had come and then went psycho just to jump a girl and ended up expelled.
I get called all sorts of names and get told to do all sorts of things, most of them fairly innocuous. I have good comebacks for most of them that tend to keep the students out of trouble by letting all of us laugh. But really, the worst thing a student can ever say is that they think you're a bad teacher. It's always a reflection of something else going on with the kid, but it never fails to hurt at least a little bit.
Here's my weirdest situation: A student, high on some hallucinogen mixed with mental disorders, freaks out, starts running all over the school while I chase him in one of the most bizarre chases (it was during my plan period, nobody was around to help, and he kept running and stopping), then climbs to the top of a stairwell, starts chanting about how God will forgive him, and security and I have to talk him down. Once we manage to get him into an office, we lock him in a storeroom, then the on-campus cops start talking to him. He's making no sense at this point, so we call the ambulance. As the cops are escorting him down to the ambulance, he gets out of their grasp, runs STRAIGHT THROUGH a glass door and runs around the entire school. He's eventually tackled by the cops, and put into the psych wing of the local hospital. Later jumps out of the 6th floor window of the hospital (somehow), onto the 2nd floor overhang, then onto the street and ran down the street about a mile before he was found again. He never came back to my school."
"My wife, a high school teacher (not in the inner city) has experienced some crazy stuff in her eight years as a public high school teacher. Bear in mind, her administration respects her because, of all teachers in the county (five high schools), she has one of the best records for maintaining student discipline.
She is called terrible names by a student, to her face, AT LEAST once a week (students are usually assigned detention for this).
She had a desk thrown at her (the student was put into in-school suspension for two days).
While she was assistant coach for cross-country, a senior boy showed her - and several other girls on the team - his junk. She reported it, but he was not disciplined.
A student threatened to punch her in the stomach and kill her baby (student was suspended for two days).
A female student said she's get a razor and slice her face off (An administrator said she was getting 'a reputation as a whiner' when she reported this one).
She's actually quit sharing all the details over this kind of thing with me because I was preparing to sue her employer. The truth is that most school districts, since the late 1990s, I guess, have quit caring about what the teachers endure. Conditions are really that bad in public schools that, by the time they get to high school, all you can do is put out the fires and wait for the next bomb to drop."
"When I was in 8th grade, I said to the recently-married hockey coach in the locker room, 'Hey, Mr. X, do you have any naked pictures of your wife or would you like to buy some.' He jacked me up against the lockers, looked me in the eye and said, 'Don't make me tell jokes about your mother.' That was the worst thing I ever did.
But before we think problems are modern day, I knew a sweet old man who was a teacher in Brooklyn. As he wrote on the chalkboard, he would watch the reflections in his glasses to see what was happening behind him. One day, he wasn't paying attention and a kid snuck up behind him and beat the crap out of him. He was hospitalized and retired with disability pay.
Teachers often have a crappy job. Thanks to them for putting up with us."
"I am not teaching anymore, however, when I was a teacher at one of the worst schools around, three of the students pulled out knives in class and threatened to stab me, holding the knives to my stomach.
I remained calm, sat down and also asked them to settle down. The other students were either too scared to do anything or took the opportunity to cause mayhem and threw things out of the classroom.
After the lesson, the teacher in the neighboring room came into mine and started shouting at me for not controlling the kids and disrupting his class - I was too shocked to even respond to why that was. About 20 minutes later I decided that it wasn't for me and I never went back to the classroom, instead I went to a senior teacher and cried my eyes out.
A student also filmed it on his mobile so if you are lucky you can find it on YouTube maybe. Not that I wish to look and recall it.
Thinking about it again really makes me feel like crap and I'm pretty sure it has had an effect on my future life/perception of things.
If I could go back in time, I'd still go for teaching, I would just being a lot more picky about where I go."
A high school student threw a book at my face, hitting me square on the nose. I was asked by the principle if I would like to press charges but I decided not to.
A non-verbal special ed high school student peed himself and then chased me around the classroom trying to get my non-soiled sweater to wear for himself. When he failed in this task, still trailing puddles of pee all over the classroom, he proceeded to throw chairs randomly about classroom. Then came the spitting. Eventually a big dude (I am not sure of his position) had to tackle him and pull him screaming out of the classroom.
One middle school was so bad that the best way I can describe it is to say that the halls were like the movie Braveheart every break time.
After lunch as I was getting ready for my next class, I heard the roar of battle, and when I checked outside my door there were two big kids fighting and one small middle-aged woman trying to break it up, with mixed results. One of the kids had kind of wrestled her down and was on top of her on the floor. Being a wrestler myself, I grabbed the kid from behind and picked him up out of the action. As I restrained him from behind (with double arm control), the bell rang. I told the other teacher my class was starting, and asked what I should I do with the kid. She said he had my class this hour. So I carried the kid backward into my classroom, turned around 180 degrees, let him go, and said 'Welcome to History Class!'"
I had a math class my freshman year that I almost never attended, and did no work for. When I did attend though, class was typically disrupted by one specific kid, who was a 'gangsta' senior. The teacher was a 5' Asian woman.
One day he was in the middle of his usual anti-Asian taunts toward her, and she stood up to him. She told him to leave her class, go to the office, and not to return. He became enraged. Standing at the front of the class he got in her face (towering over her) and screaming mindless obscenities. She was in tears. The whole class watched in dead silence. All of a sudden he cocked his fist back, and something broke in my brain. I jumped out of my desk chair and charged him. I shoved him, and he tripped over his extremely low baggy pants, and fell backwards. He struggled against the pants into a semi-standing position and I delivered one of my best right hooks ever. It was a lights out punch.
Campus security took him away semi-conscious, and he was expelled. I got off completely. I also passed the class with a D+ despite attending less than half of the classes, and doing no work.
His friends kicked the absolute crap out of me later, but I managed to keep a smile on my face while laughing for most of the beating."
I'm in Canada, and therefore high school French was mandatory and the classes quickly became divided by the school into problem classes (students that weren't doing particularly well in French, or were troublemakers), normal classes, and advanced classes. I was put in the, 'problem class,' as I hadn't been doing particularly well in French thus far (I was taking Japanese at the same time, and put more effort into that, as it was much more interesting to me).
In what was perhaps (most definitely) a poor decision, the school assigned the new teacher to the problem class, and the troublemaker portion of the class (2/3 of it) proceeded to be the most incredibly persistent jerks the world has known. They would straight up talk back to him or ignore him in class, get into food fights in a class where food wasn't allowed, walk around, and because the teacher wasn't used to uncooperative kids, they walked all over him.
I'd say the worst moment was when one of the kids in my class, who was part of a group who would regularly ask to go to the bathroom to skip class, was denied going to the bathroom, as the teacher knew the kid was messing with him. The kid proceeds to, when the teacher isn't looking, pour a bottle of water down his own pants, and yell at the teacher for not letting him go to the bathroom.
In hindsight, I really wish that I could have done something for the teacher, but at the time my friends and I composed such a small portion of the class that we couldn't really do anything. I did my best to be cooperative, and the teacher was really a stand up guy, I'd say he's been one of the best French teachers that I've had, but unfortunately the stress was too much, and he quit our school, but kept teaching."

The goal of monetary policy set forth by the Federal Reserve Reform Act of 1977 is to promote stable prices and maximum employment. In the aftermath of the Great Recession, there has been considerable debate over the extent to which the Federal Reserve caused the recession, worsened the recession, and slowed the subsequent recovery. The slow recovery in particular has caused some economists and pundits to argue that monetary policy is insufficient for counteracting the business cycle and that fiscal policy might be necessary.
One recent fiscal policy proposal to address unemployment is a "job guarantee." This proposal would essentially require that the government be willing to hire workers at a fixed real wage at all times. Thus, the government would provide a safety net for workers in the form of a job should the worker be willing to work for the wage offered by the federal government. This proposal would therefore provide workers with employment opportunities when workers have difficulty finding a job, which might especially be true during recessions.
To understand how a labor standard would work, one needs to first understand how the gold standard worked. Under the gold standard, the unit of account (e.g., the dollar) was defined in terms of a particular commodity. For example, the dollar might be defined as 1/20 oz. of gold. This definition implies that the official price of gold was $20 per ounce. What this meant is that the central bank (or the banking system more generally) stood ready to buy and sell gold at a fixed nominal price. Since gold is an internationally traded commodity, the market price of gold could potentially deviate from the official price. However, if this occurred, it would create an arbitrage opportunity for either holders of bank notes or those holding gold. For example, suppose that the market price of gold was $21. An individual holding a bank note could take $20 in bank notes to the bank, redeem those notes for 1 oz. of gold, and sell the gold for $21. Since anyone holding bank notes could do so, the market price could not deviate much from the official price since it created an arbitrage opportunity. The very process of arbitrage would drive the price back toward the official price. In equilibrium, the market price of gold would equal the official price.
Under ordinary circumstances, the price of gold is determined by supply and demand. This is true even when the nominal price of gold is fixed under the gold standard. To understand this point, it is important to recall that supply and demand is a partial equilibrium framework. A change in supply or demand leads to a change in the equilibrium price and quantity, holding everything else constant. So in any supply-and-demand model, the price being determined is the real price of the good (or the price of the good holding all other prices constant). Under the gold standard, since the central bank (or the banking system) is willing to buy and sell gold on demand at a fixed nominal price, this means that when there are fluctuations in the supply of and demand for gold, all other prices must adjust until the real price of gold clears the market.
Consider an example. Suppose that there is a gold discovery somewhere in the world. In an ordinary supply-and-demand analysis, an increase in the supply of gold would lead to an increase in the equilibrium quantity of gold and a decline in the equilibrium price. If the nominal price of gold is fixed, then the nominal price cannot decline. Nonetheless, the real price of gold can decline in order to clear the market. For this to happen, the price level must rise. A gold discovery is therefore inflationary, since all other prices, on average, would have to rise so that the real price of gold declined.
This characteristic of the gold standard is one of the most frequently cited characteristics as to why a gold standard is undesirable. Many critics have argued that because fluctuations in the price level tend to be driven by changes in the supply and demand for gold and are difficult to predict, these seemingly random fluctuations in the price level cause corresponding changes in real economic activity. Since such fluctuations could be avoided (in theory) with an inconvertible paper money standard, many economists have argued that the gold standard creates unnecessary fluctuations in the economy as a result of unexpected fluctuations in a market that makes up only a small fraction of any economy.
Under a labor standard, the unit of account would be defined as a fixed quantity of labor. Consider a world in which all labor is homogeneous. In such a world, one could define the dollar as being equal to four minutes of labor. This implies that it would take $15 to employ labor for one hour. In other words—to draw an analogy to the gold standard—the central bank would stand ready to buy and sell labor at a fixed nominal price of $15 per hour. This is therefore equivalent to a monetary-policy-based job guarantee in which the central bank is willing to buy and sell labor at a fixed nominal price (rather than real price). Of course, in reality, there are two practical problems with this proposal. The first problem is that labor, unlike gold or some other commodity, is not sold in spot markets. The second problem is that labor is heterogeneous. Nonetheless, the Thompson-Glasner proposal for a labor standard resolves these issues by targeting a nominal wage index through indirect convertibility.
The Thompson-Glasner proposal would work as follows: Because labor is not sold in spot markets, the central bank cannot offer to buy and sell labor on demand in some organized market. Instead, what the central bank could do is agree to buy and sell a particular asset of its own choosing on demand at the current market price, but the central bank would guarantee that the value of this asset would always be equivalent to a fixed quantity of labor. Since labor is heterogeneous, the central bank cannot pin down "the" wage because there is an entire distribution of wages. However, the central bank could commit to making sure that this asset would buy a fixed quantity of labor, on average, by promising to keep an index of nominal wages constant.
To understand how this would work, consider an example. Suppose that the central bank promised to buy and sell gold on demand at its current market price, but guaranteed that an ounce of gold would buy a fixed quantity of labor, on average. This is a promise to keep an index of nominal wages constant. Let's assume that the wage index implies that the average wage is $15 per hour, the current market price of gold is $1,500 per ounce, and that it is January. An individual who purchases an ounce of gold from the central bank for $1,500 expects that this ounce of gold will purchase 100 hours of labor ($1,500 / $15 = 100). In February, the average wage for January is calculated to be $16.50. This implies that the price of labor is 10 percent higher than expected. In order to buy 100 hours of labor, this individual would have needed $1,650 (= $16.50 x 100). To compensate these individuals, the central bank would send a payment of $150 to anyone who had purchased gold in January. However, note that since the central bank buys and sells gold, anyone who sold gold to the central bank would now owe the central bank $150.
This type of monetary policy would ensure that the average nominal wage remained constant over time. To see why, consider that anyone who expected the average nominal wage to rise would buy gold from the central bank in anticipation of receiving a rebate from the central bank if they were correct and earn an arbitrage profit. If the value of purchases at the central bank exceeds sales, then this is an indication that the market expects the nominal wage to rise. Note that if this is true, then the central bank is effectively conducting net open market sales of gold, thereby pulling dollars out of circulation. Thus, the very expectation of higher nominal wages leads to contractionary monetary policy that would, in turn, reduce nominal wages.
The situation also works in reverse. If the market expected nominal wages to decline, then the value of gold sales to the central bank would exceed the value of gold purchases from the central bank. If this is true, then the central bank would be conducting open market purchases of gold on net, thereby expanding the money supply and increasing nominal wages.
The labor standard would therefore maintain a fixed nominal wage index equivalent to the fixed price of gold under the gold standard. This system has several advantages. First, recall that one criticism of the gold standard is based on the fact that fluctuations in the gold market caused by real factors, such as gold discoveries, led to fluctuations in the price level and real economic activity. The criticism was that fluctuations in a market that made up a small portion of total production had the ability to cause booms or recessions. This also resulted in fluctuations in the labor market by altering the relative price of labor in terms of gold. Under a labor standard, fluctuations in the price level would be driven by real factors associated with the labor market. An increase in productivity, for example, would increase the demand for labor. A standard supply-and-demand model would imply that real wages should rise. Since the nominal wage is fixed, this would require that the price level decline to clear the market for labor. Changes in the price level would therefore represent changes in real factors in the labor market, such as productivity, which some have argued is a desirable objective in and of itself for monetary policy. In addition, unlike the gold standard, the labor standard would require that the price level respond to real changes in a market that policymakers treat with primary importance.
Second, the labor standard would eliminate all nominal sources of fluctuations in the labor market. If monetary policy was seen by the market as being too tight, individuals would (on net) sell gold to the central bank in anticipation that nominal wages would decline. By doing so, the central bank would be conducting open market purchases of gold, thereby expanding the money supply. If monetary policy was seen by the market as too expansionary, individuals would (on net) purchase gold from the central bank. This open market sale would reduce the money supply and reduce nominal wages to the target level.
Third, the labor standard would outsource monetary policy to the market. Insofar as the market aggregates knowledge better than, for example, the 12 individual voters of the Federal Open Market Committee, this would more accurately align the stance of monetary policy with information about the state of the economy.
To draw an analogy to the gold standard, by fixing the nominal wage the central bank would be acting as though it stood ready to buy and sell labor on demand at a fixed nominal wage. In that respect, this policy is something similar to a monetary-policy-based job guarantee. In reality, a central bank cannot actually buy and sell labor on demand. However, since the Federal Reserve can buy and sell other assets on demand in a spot market, it can conduct monetary policy such that an asset's value would purchase a constant quantity of labor. This form of indirect convertibility would ensure that the dollar purchased a constant quantity of labor. The price level would have to adjust to real factors influencing the supply and demand for labor, but nominal factors would no longer have any effect on the labor market. The labor standard would therefore allow the Federal Reserve to simultaneously achieve its goals of price stability and maximum employment.

because it's thursday and snowy outside and it took me three times longer to get home from preschool drop-off than it should have because of icy roads and silly drivers, i feel as though my energies would be wasted on laundry and bed-making and am, therefore, going to share with you a few links that have made an impression recently.
THIS VIDEO made me laugh so hard i couldn't breathe. i watched it alot.
THIS VIDEO explains why it is so dang hard for me to quit sugar!
loved the non-judging, all-loving concept behind this post.
"to have your hands full is a ludicrous blessing" - oh if i could always think like this!
if you need a therapy that really calms the heart - beautiful as always, miss ann voskamp. and so very needed!
love THIS. want to print, frame and hang in our bedroom at the condo.
this TED talk made me want to try hackschooling.
then i read flowerpatchfarmgirl's response to that TED talk and i wanted to put my kids in an inner city school.
miss jen hatmaker posted THIS the same day i posted my musings about duck dynasty. she said the exact same thing as me only one thousand times better.
lastly, jeremy and i are trying to plan a beach vacation for sometime this summer in celebration of our ten year anniversary. if we can stay married that long. hehehehahaha. we're thinking mexico because 1) i've actually never been there! and 2) it's a short flight. i think this might be the place!
no scroll back up to the top and watch that first video again! happy day, friends, happy day.
Thanks for the links! Finn loved that chicken video (we have a chicken just like that), I forwarded the Amos Lee concert to Brad as an anniversary idea for us this year. When is your anniversary? Congrats on number 10!

Q: Rails Form dropdown select, save to table and display in view I created a user and program table, and a joined table. Each user has_and_belongs_to_many :programs and each program has_and_belongs_to_many :user.
Using dropdown select, I wanted to select a program and save it to the user. But after I save, the display always shows the text "Program" instead of the actual program name that was selected from the dropdown.
Dropdown select form:
<%= f.collection_select(:program_ids, Program.all, :id, :name, :include_blank => "Choose a Program" ) %>

Display programs that the user belongs to:
<% @user.programs.each do |program| %>
  <%= program.name %>
<% end %>

I'm not sure if I am saving the program to user correctly or if I am displaying the variable wrong. I followed the idea from how to have a dropdown select field in a rails form.
Any suggestion will help, Thanks!

A: I was able to find a solution to my problem. The dropdown select form and view code stayed the same. It now displays the program associated with the user instead of showing the text "Program".
Added serialize to program.rb:
class Program < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_and_belongs_to_many :users
  serialize :program
end

I'm Listening: Korn Offers Tips on Dealing With Depression
The band continues to encourage people to ask for help
Michael Cerio
I'm Listening
Jonathan Davis has been tested. The frontman for Korn has handled his own struggles with mental health, helped fans around the world as an advocate, and last year was faced with the death of his estranged wife, after years of battling addiction and mental illness.
It's been a tough trip, but Davis and his bandmate Brian "Head" Welch know that the path forward starts with asking for help.
"First, go get help. The thing that happens when you're depressed or you're going through mental health issues is you like to try to self-medicate," acknowledges Davis. "People I know that are really hurting inside usually become an alcoholic or a drug addict, and that's because they're trying to hide things that are going on. The best thing that you can do is try to go get some help and go talk to someone."
Korn will be a part of I'm Listening on Sunday September 8, as all Entercom radio stations across the country will mark the start of National Suicide Prevention Week with a special two-hour commercial-free broadcast dedicated to ending the stigma of talking about mental health.
"Things that I can say that help me is like, getting up and taking walks," Davis continues. "Exercising. That stuff kind of helps with depression." Whether it's the gym or the church or anywhere in-between, the singer urges everyone to get into something that gets you out of bed and "gives you purpose."
At 7 AM local time on September 8 on your favorite RADIO.COM station, you can call-in live and join artists like Korn, athletes, and medical professionals for an in-depth conversation about mental health and suicide prevention. Prior to Sunday's show, please SHARE YOUR STORY on how mental health or suicide has impacted your life. Select stories will be included in the broadcast.
"There's a stigma around it, and people try to hide it that they're hurting. Tell someone. A lot of people are compassionate and will help. Don't feel that you're alone," Davis urges. "I felt I was alone and I tried to hide it a lot, what was going on with me and stuff in my head. Get help."
"Know that you're not alone and there is help out there."
