When presidents were really scandalous …
They were clutching their pearls and hyperventilating when Obama wore a tan suit somewhere…..
It has been five years since Obama wore THAT tan suit
Fair enough, too. It seems that suit was responsible for the rise of ISIS.

Is 3 days fast enough to tackle dodgy political adverts? The Advertising Standards Authority's CEO also seems to lack a protective mindset:
"Differences of political opinion should be openly debated without undue hindrance or interference from authorities such as the Complaints Board."
If the identity and position of the advertiser were clear, a "liberal interpretation of the Codes" would apply to help ensure political parties, politicians, lobby groups or advocates "are not unnecessarily fettered in promoting their views", Ms Souter said.

Why should we have any confidence the ASA knows the difference between an opinion and a fact?

Why should we consider that the Advertising Standards Authority would give a fig for the standards of our democracy and the politics that we use to maintain our wished-for standards. Advertising is to encourage turnover and profits, and the more argument and kerfuffle, the more activity in the commercial market place. Who gives a stuff for authority says Ms Souter and her ilk, who believe in following the White Queen's precept:
…said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

heh, I'm sure they'll find some damning evidence in there.. somewhere…
maui, do you think it's OK for the president to withhold Congress approved and taxpayer funded aid to try to extort a foreign country into smearing a political opponent of the president?
It's a very simple question that only needs a yes or no answer.
joe90 4.1.1.1
Dude's spent the past few years excusing a genocidal regime that detains, tortures, rapes and executes women and children so I guess it's a small leap to defending an abusive POS who's admitted trying to extort a foreign government for personal gain.
3 November 2019 at 12:02 pm
I'm just curious which one of the Repug talking points he's gonna go to, since the sorta-kinda transcript (allegedly with significant bits missing) the White House has already released makes it clear that extorting Ukraine into smearing political opponents is what the phone call was all about.
joe90 4.1.1.1.1.1
He truly believed the Bidens were corrupt so he acted in good faith and any personal gain was fortuitous, not illegal.?
Another despicable GOP defense. Even if the answer to Sen. Kennedy's question is yes — and it's not — Trump obviously would merit impeachment and removal for daring to condition $400M in aid on an investigation into an opponent's son. https://t.co/zkOU5BFWL6 pic.twitter.com/OyczN72HMB

Well, exactly which bits of statute law he criminally violated might actually be a tricky question. But it's absolutely clear he violated his oath to "… preserve, protect and defend the Constitution …", especially since the Constitution and the Founding Fathers were particularly touchy about foreign interference. Therefore he's clearly committed a high crime or misdemeanour for which he should be impeached and removed.
As to what talking point might get settled on, I'd put my money on 'sure he's an asshole that does dodgy shit. That's what you want to send to Washington, right? a big fuck you to the entire government'. Looks like that's going to be his re-election pitch to the middle-finger voters and other deplorables.

mauī 4.1.1.2
Except, that's not what the transcript indicates and that appears to be the best piece of evidence we have so far.
It's the tRump White House's doctored version, not a transcript.
mauī 4.1.1.2.1.1
Proof that it's doctored? and what is the real transcript then?
Ignorance isn't bliss. lol
Amid the growing controversy, Mr Trump promised to release a "complete, fully declassified and unredacted transcript" he said would prove the call had been "totally appropriate".
But the details disclosed by the White House were notes of the conversation. It was not a full, verbatim, account and it did little to quell the spiralling controversy. The whisteblower's complaint was made public shortly after.
The transcript of the call showed Mr Trump had urged Mr Zelensky to investigate discredited corruption allegations against former Vice-President Joe Biden, a 2020 Democratic frontrunner, as well as Mr Biden's son.
mauī …
So no proof that it has been doctored then lol, or what an actual transcript looks like.
Before we get lost in your wordplay, can you clarify your position on whether you believe, or not, after the Vindman testimony, the white house released transcript is not a doctored representation?
Bearing in mind
https://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/vindman-testimony-contradicts-exact-transcript-claim-72305733764
And the document itself stating on page 1
Caution: A memorandum of a telephone conversation (TELCON) is not a verbatim transcript of a conversation.
His testimony lends weight to the transcript, as he agreed it was mostly accurate apart from a couple of things he wanted added in.
Is there any evidence those couple of things exist? I can't see any.
Vindman's testimony lends weight to the released memorandum being doctored by omission, and the actual record is not the same as the summary published by the white house.
Glad you finally came round, but I guess overwhelming contrary evidence will do that eventually.
So clearly there's no doubt or wriggle room in that the transcript is not a full, accurate record, despite Trump saying it was, though clearly contradicted on page 1 of his own release.
"overwhelming" seriously? This is like a person commenting that you got 98% of a translation correct, but you missed out a couple of things I would have added in. So therefore I have proof of you doctoring the translation. Plain ridiculous.
You have no idea what the actual record is lol. You won't believe the published one, but some dude rocks up and says it's right but you missed out these things – and you take his word for it. Ok…
Page one, Ainsley lol
joe90 …
You may be credulous enough to believe an inveterate liar but I'll take the word of a career army officer who listened in on the call and gave evidence that the supposed transcript is an abridged version that omitted key portions of the conversation.
But Trump has falsely claimed this document provides an "exact word-for-word transcript" of his call. In fact, the first page contains a disclaimer that it "is not a verbatim transcript of a discussion." Rather, it "records the notes and recollections" of officials listening to and memorializing the call.
https://www.vox.com/2019/10/30/20939822/trump-ukraine-transcript-ellipses-vindman-impeachment-inquiry
Evading the actual question? That's the current response from a lot of Repug senators. But even they aren't trying for outright denial of what's plainly evident, so I s'pose you deserve credit for exhibiting wilful blindness beyond what even they can muster.

International human rights organisations have praised as a "beacon of hope" charges for crimes against humanity brought against two Syrian security agents in Germany.
The two men, suspecting of being members of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's notorious secret service, will now stand trial for torture, murder, sexual assault and other crimes committed against Syrian opposition activists during the country's bloody civil war.
The pair, charged by prosecutors in the southeastern city of Karlsruhe were arrested in Germany earlier this year under "universal jurisdiction laws", which allow for the prosecution of crimes against humanity regardless of jurisdiction.
"The move by German prosecutors to charge two former Syrian officials for serious crimes is a critical part of the long march to justice by victims who have endured years of unchecked atrocities," senior counsel for Human Rights Watch Balkees Jarrah told The National.

Just as now the impeachment process has been voted on and will be in the public domain, your ignorance can no longer be your defence.
By the way maui, previous evasion notwithstanding, I'm still interested in whether you think it's OK for the president to withhold Congress approved and taxpayer funded aid to try to extort a foreign country into smearing a political opponent of the president?
Go on and pretend it's just a hypothetical if it makes it easier for you to answer. It's a very simple question that only needs a yes or no answer.

The latest from Muriel Newman at NZCPR question if Labour is soft on welfare and guest writer
https://www.nzcpr.com/the-road-to-hell-is-paved-with-good-intentions/
tells us that given all the options somebody on welfare could get around $950pw while if they got a job paying the minimum wage would be only around $700.
So why would a person give up the welfare for a job. Nobody I would suggest but if we want to reduce the cost of welfare I came up with the following….
In such a situation the case officer should work out the difference and making allowance for costs involved in doing the job, transport/protective clothing etc, make an adjustment to the welfare payment so that the person is not worse off or better with a small financial advantage when they take the job.
This would save the country much of the benefit payment while getting somebody into the workforce.
Sadly I suspect there would be an outcry against such a pragmatic solution though one could hope for common sense prevailing.
Mentioning 'common sense' and Muriel Newman in the same utterance tells me everything I need to know, thanks.
I looked. It's the same old same old from Lindsay fucking Mitchell.
Not the monkey and organ-grinder again Lindsay Mitchell.
The person who makes a profile for herself out of the fact that parenting is not regarded as of prime importance to be good parenting requiring training and advice, and an opportunity for a happy parent to be doing part-time work and so role modelling what the pedagogues wish.
The fact that the RW governments have destroyed the working person's chances of secure employment and a living wage for working during hours that are social norms is given a light mention, if at all.
The number of people on a jobseeker benefit under this government continues to rise.
Latest Ministry of Development figures tell us 143,000 get the benefit, up 10,000 on this time last year.
And not coincidentally, that number has been steadily rising since September 2017.
The number of hardship assistance grants also skyrocketed, up 225,000 compared to a year ago.
Welfare researcher Lindsay Mitchell joined Mike Hosking to discuss the figures.

An even lower bar for 'sense'. Maybe John deliberately left out the name of Muriel's 'guest writer'?

There's enough scope for lots of mileage out of this comment. Surely David Farrar or similar operators can grow it into implication-inference-fact that all beneficiaries are on $950 a week. It would be easy to convince Paula Bennett and Simon Bridges into believing it and start spouting it.
Brigid 5.3
So you recommend that the employer be subsidised? Why not raise the minimum wage? If the employer cannot pay what the state considers a livable wage i.e. $950, they aren't conducting a viable business.

It would just encourage employers to pay low wages because they know the govt will top up the wages to a livable amount.

Funny they use the MW figure when anyone qualifying for extras on top of the base benefit would also qualify for AS and WFF tax credits etc.

The Australian law that allows for the deportation of undesirables for scant reason is legislation numbered 501. The press, politicians and people at large have come to refer to those subjected to the legislation as 501's.
I wonder if Levi Strauss have degrees of copyright ownership of the term '501'. I've got a pair. Most of us have at some stage in our lives.
There was an article in the Independent about another murder of an indigenous guardian within his own country, in this case, a protector of the Brazilian rainforest.
Thought to myself, as I read it, that despite ongoing discussion about globalisation and the movement of capital around the globe, these articles fail to indicate where incentives for this type of crime come from.
So, for those who have the same concern, a couple of recent articles about the multi-nationals whose investments – and returns on investments – fuel not just the fires, but the commission of such crimes against fellow countrymen. While President Jair Bolsonaro justly deserves criticism as a primary actor, we still need to look behind the curtain to see who is directing the play.

[Michael] Flynn said he could use his intelligence sources to obtain the emails," investigators wrote in a summary of Gates' April 2018 interview with Mueller's team.

Kai Arzheimer, a German politics professor who has written extensively on far-right extremism, said the resolution's main impact was symbolic, but that it could mean that more money would be allocated to programmes combating extremism in the future.
"I don't think that any other German city has declared a 'Nazi emergency'. Resolutions against right-wing extremism are not so uncommon, however," he said.
What is Dresden's connection to the far-right?
Dresden has long been known for its links to the far right.
In the early 1990s, neo-Nazi groups began staging rallies there to remember what they called "the bombing Holocaust", when the city was bombed by British and American forces in 1945, Mr Arzheimer said. These groups went on to become active in surrounding areas and in southern Saxony.

A majority of voters in England, Wales and Scotland believe that the possibility of some level of violence against MPs is a "price worth paying" in order to get their way on Brexit, an academic survey has found.
The poll from Cardiff University and the University of Edinburgh asked respondents what they would be prepared to see happen in order to leave or remain within the European Union.
This included a question on whether achieving their desired political outcome was worth the risk of violence being directed against MPs.
Most leave voters who took part in the Future of England study thought such a possibility was a "price worth paying" for Brexit to be delivered – 71% in England, 60% in Scotland and 70% in Wales.
The majority of remain voters felt that the risk of violence towards MPs was worth it if it meant we would stay in the EU – 58% in England, 53% in Scotland and 56% in Wales.

The Australian mother, who identifies herself online as Sarah Walker RN, shared in the private Facebook group "Stop Mandatory Vaccination" that her son, whose name has been redacted, contracted chickenpox and that she planned to "help" other children in the community by spreading the virus through candy.
"So my beautiful son [redacted] has the chickenpox at the moment and we've both decided to help others with natural immunity this Halloween!" Walker wrote. "We have the packaging open and closing down pat and can't wait to help others in our community."

A troubling medical story about a child in pain for an extended period. One that is reported because she is the daughter of a Senior executive at stuff.
'Her parents say Auckland District Health Board's repeated failure to perform a scan sooner caused Becky harm. However, the DHB maintains that Becky was scanned at the appropriate time.'
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/116768674/starship-hospital-didnt-scan-girl-writhing-in-agony-with-abdominal-pain-for-six-weeks
Starship hospital didn't scan girl writhing in agony with abdominal pain for six weeks
Becky Rose was taken to Starship hospital seven times in six weeks in agony due to abdominal pain. Two weeks ago she ended up in a critical condition, which her parents say could have been avoided.
…In August, Becky was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, an inflammatory bowel condition which causes abdominal pain, severe diarrhoea, weight loss and malnutrition.
On September 3 Becky started screaming and complaining of pain in her pelvis. It was different to any pain she'd experienced with her Crohn's. She was also experiencing intense discomfort when passing urine. …
She was given heavy-duty painkillers morphine and tramadol. Doctors gave her an ultrasound looking into the possibility she might have an appendicitis or a flare up relating to Crohn's.
After five days in hospital, including her 10th birthday, Becky and her family were sent home without a solid answer….
On October 3, Becky received her first treatment for Crohn's at Starship, called Humira. Shortly after, she fell to the floor in agony…
Then, on October 16, Tali said: "everything in her body broke down".
Becky had been vomiting for hours when, almost unconscious, when she was wheeled to the resuscitation room in Starship ED. Doctors worked for an hour to stabilise her, including emptying her stomach, Rose said…
During the ordeal an ultrasound showed fluid in her pelvis and finally a CT scan was ordered. This scan showed Becky's bowel was perforated. …
There were intermittent radiographers strikes between Sept 30th and October 3rd which meant the child's scans were put off then, but if when she was in for five days from September 3rd she had had both ultrasound and a CAT scan, she would have been treated in a timely fashion. The MRI was not needed in the end.
It seems very poor treatment for a very sick patient. I find that the comment about treatment from the specialist is wooden, it sounds as if based on a template of 'best practice' and unresponsive to the needs of the patient.
Becky received MRI and CT scans within the "appropriate clinical timeframe", he said. [Starship's director of child health Mike Shepherd.]
Perforations and bowel obstructions are known complications of Crohn's disease and can occur at any time. They are difficult to predict, difficult to prevent, and do not always show on scans, Shepherd said…
Shepherd said it was not unusual for clinicians to be treating children in severe pain caused by conditions such as Crohn's.
(But first they have to do the scans to see what shows! And not just pass the crippling pain as a frequent occurrence that can be expected blah blah.)
The organisation of Starship management seems strange. Dr Mike Shepherd seems to be employed by a clinic, and he works in other hospitals and even countries.
Dr Shepherd is involved in the development of simulation-based education and is a board member and course director for Advanced Paediatric LifeSupport (APLS) NZ. He has a strong educational focus delivering clinical education to a wide range of health workers, including recent visits to Samoa and the Cook Islands.
Dr Shepherd also has a strong interest in injury prevention and is currently completing a Masters of Public Health focusing on paediatric injury prevention. http://www.healthspecialists.co.nz/index.php/our-consultants.html
Do the children get the best treatment at Starship, or is the position of Starship's Director of Child Health being filled by an agency doctor on contract, as part of a lucrative circle of appointments and opportunities around the Pacific, a stepping stone to some highly paid position in another country such as the USA?

Unlike the well known "normal distribution", game player behavior appears to follow a power law distribution. Recognizing this difference in underlying distributions is critical to avoiding poor forecasts and maximizing revenue. This blog starts by an empirical discussion of how two key freemium game variables, time to purchase and revenue spend per user, are distributed. We then briefly cover the differences between power law and normal distributions. We end by discussing the implications for freemium game developers, both in the areas of game design and revenue maximization.
If this behavior followed a normal distribution, the distribution would look more like a usual bell curve.
To make more sense of out this very skewed and lopsided distribution in real life, we can now plot the logarithm of each axis. This is the resulting chart, which we will call the log plot of the probability distribution function.
This pattern is a necessary but not sufficient characteristic of a power law. For the technically minded, the slope on this log plot for this game was -1.5 (we revisit the importance of the slope in the next section).
The same pattern can be seen if you plot revenue from each user against the number of users who spent that amount, ie a frequency distribution of user spending. A log plot shows how a power law distribution can fit the data much better than a normal distribution.
As can be seen, spending and purchasing patterns in freemium games definitely do not follow a normal distribution. Sonamine has analyzed dozens of freemium game datasets and the same non-normal distributions are found in ALL of them.
Infinite mean and no upper bound A normal distribution has a fixed "mean", also commonly called the average. For example, if the spending per player is normally distributed, then you can expect that most players will spend approximately the "average" of the normal distribution. A power distribution, on the other hand, has INFINITE mean when the slope of the log plot is greater than -2. In the case of spending per user, as shown in the real life game example above, the slope of the log plot is -1.45, so the "average" spend per user is INFINITE. This is also sometimes termed the "no upward bound" phenomenon of power law distributions.
Extremely rare outliers contribute lion share For a normal distribution, the outliers contribute only an extremely small percentage of the total cumulative sum. Let us consider the example of the physical height of people, which is normally distributed. If you randomly select 100 people and add up their heights, this sum total will not be greatly affected by an outlier giant who is 8 feet tall. In fact, this outlier would contribute perhaps only 2% of the sum total of heights. In a power law distribution, the reverse is true. The outlier contributes a very large and disproportionate percentage of the sum total. Combined with the no upper bound property above, this implies that the sum total of the power law distributed random variable does not converge.
Heavier tails With a normal distribution, the "tail" falls at an exponential rate. A power law distribution's "tail" falls at an inverse polynomial rate. Relatively speaking this means the power law distribution decreases much more slowly than a normal distribution. If the time to conversion for free players (see previous section) was normally distributed, then very few players will convert after they have been playing for some time. As it turns out, time to convert is power law distributed, so more free players are still going to be converting after playing the game for many days.
As we have seen above, the spending of each freemium user follows a power law distribution, satisfying the condition of no upward bound. This means that there is no limit to the amount that one player may spend on the game. Your highest "whale" may have spent $10,000 on the game, but the power law distribution implies that somewhere out there another player might easily be willing to spend $20,000 on the game.
Many game developers today assume there is a natural limit to the amount that players are willing to spend, ie a natural conclusion if spending is normally distributed. As a result, they limit the maximum amount a player can spend either explicitly or by keeping prices within a tight but low range.
The key insight here is that developers should design the game with no limits to the amount a player can spend. Practical strategies include continuing content packs, providing very expensive virtual items and removing explicit spend-limits in the game commerce system.
The time it takes for a free player to convert follows a power law distribution. The "heavier tail" property implies that, unlike normal distributions we are accustomed to, more players will be converting later in their play time. Hence, developers should not "give up" on these elder free players.
Many freemium game developers assume that a player who has played for a long time but has not converted is a "freeloader", destined NEVER to convert. As such, they design the later stages of the game to be more friendly to paying players. The heavy tail property implies that later stages of the game should be as friendly to free players.
Additionally, developers attempt to "monetize" their free players with in-game third-party ads. The reasoning is that these "free loaders" are never going to convert, so we should get some advertising revenue from them. A player must view 666 ads to generate $1 of ad revenue. The heavy tail property implies that these "free loaders" are more likely to convert than previously thought. As such it may be more prudent to improve the game experience by removing the in-game ads for these presumed "freeloaders".
Because it is not uncommon for up to 50% of players to abandon the freemium game after one day, marketers and designers currently focus heavily on retention efforts of new players. The heavy tail property implies that marketers should spend equal efforts promoting to more experienced free players for conversion. These experienced free players represent an additional source of revenue that is currently untapped.
Developers using Sonamine ConvertSoon to target this heavy tail with limited ads and first time conversion promotions have seen up to 10% more payers.
Due to the disproportionate contribution that extremely rare outliers make to the overall revenue, game developers and vendors try to predict which player will be a "whale". The power law distribution, ironically, contributes to this desire. Unfortunately, by definition the distribution indicates that these players are extremely rare. This means there are not many of them for any particular game. Trying to pinpoint these extremely rare players before they play the game can be compared to predicting the stock price of one company before it has started operations.
The more appropriate strategy is to expose the maximum number of spending opportunities to the player base in the hopes to catching these rare events. In technical terms, developers should maximize the degrees of freedom within the game for spending money. The degree of freedom is increased when you provide more varied and different ways and opportunities to spend money. Note that the no-spending-limit caveat should still apply. This maximum exposure strategy is somewhat analogous to the investment strategy of buying an index fund instead of picking winning stocks.
Developers have been intuitively progressing along this strategy. The key insight here is that it is more important to develop different ways to spend money, as opposed to more of the same ways to spend money. As an extreme example, adding an option of paying for customized background music exposes the game to more potential high payers than adding more cosmetic virtual items to an existing virtual marketplace.
Since the spending of each user follows a power law distribution, the sum total of the player spend, ie revenue, is greatly affected by extremely rare events, such as the über-whale. The sum total of spending per user (revenue) is not stable, and does not follow a linear function. Doubling the player base does not imply that the revenue will also double. Revenue forecasts have their role but do not rely only on them.
If you have made it to the end of this blog post, congratulations. Feel free to contact me with questions and feedback!
 Assuming $2 per 1000 ads where the game developer gets 75% of the ad revenue.
