URGENT Pearl Necklace Advice Needed!
I've been coveting a classic Chanel CC pearl necklace for a while but haven't bought one before. My lovely SA has found two beautiful pearl necklaces for me and I'm having a very hard time deciding-the deadline is tomorrow morning. One is the classic CC Bubble Pearl which I absolutely love. It's around $1350. The other is the new quilted CC-also very pretty but a little more "flashy". It's $2000. Here are photos-please help me decide!
both are gorgeous. if u don't find a significant difference between the two to you, in terms of the overall look, might as well buy the cheaper one and save money or put the rest of the money towards a bracelet.
I vote the classic bubble, seems more timeless. This is a piece you could wear at any age.
Is one in gold and the other in silver hardware? I love the bubble necklace, but I own that one, so I'm a little biased . Mine is in muted gold, and it looks even more beautiful in person.
I like the other necklace too, but I'm not sure for $650 more.
Agree with everyone above. All good points.
The other one with the giant CC is a bit "flashy" especially if you will have that CC logo on your bag or earrings already..
I have seen other necklaces with lots of small pearls and am nervous about them falling out, but it does seem to be a more timeless style. $1350 seems like a good price for that length.
I vote for the bubble pearl.
They're both gorgeous but I don't know if the more expensive is worth the difference in price. But, it also depends on which you love!
I'm very much into their pearl necklaces too and seriously. . I would love the quilt CC more. . But i may not necessarily get that coz i wudnt wana pay $2000 for a necklace. I may well get the Bubble.. but i hv concerns about the pearls falling out. Would they?
Both necklaces are gorgeous! I have the quilted CC and the CCs are not as big as they look in the picture. I like to layer it with other pieces, Chanel and non-Chanel. However, I love the pearl detail in the CCs of the bubble necklace - so beautiful. Go with the one that really speaks to you - as both pieces are classic and elegant! Good luck deciding!
Bubble pearl all the way!

Q: Question using Central limit theorem In probability Can anyone give me some direction please?
I was thinking of using the Central limit theorem, but I'm not quite sure how to do it.
The box has 3 balls in different colors:

*

*yellow

*red

*blue

For  times take a random ball out of the box and return it.
(n is a large number).
Calculate or find the Upper Bound:
A. There is a color we have not taken out any of the times.
B. There is a color that we removed at least (4/9)* times.

A: For Part A:  $3(2/3)^n - 3(1/3)^n.$ Probabilities each of Y, R, B ignored (not disjoint) less probabilities 2 of 3 ignored. (Inclusion exclusion.) So, for $n = 5,$ the numerical answer (using R as a calculator) is $0.3827$ to four places.
3*(2/3)^n - 3*(1/3)^n
[1] 0.382716

Simulation of a million 5-draw experiments illustrates, giving
probability $0.3830 \pm 0.0010.$
set.seed(2020)
n=5
nr.u = replicate(10^6,
                 length(unique(sample(1:3,n,rep=T))))
mean(nr.u < 3)
[1] 0.383044        # aprx P(Not all 3) = 0.3827
2*sd(nr.u < 3)/1000
[1] 0.0009722583    # 95% margin of simulation err

But when I tried to add new collaborator in repository, status code is 204 and contents are like blank. And I can see collaborator is added to repository.
As per documentation

Response when person is already a collaborator
Status: 204 No Content

But I'm receiving status code 204 when collaborator is added successfully.
My question is why I'm getting status code as 204 and not 201 as per documentation and also blank response contents.

Had a great time fishing for largemouth. Most big fish came off deep wood with a variety of baits. I have been experimenting with the chatter bait for the last couple of years with great success. It really is a great search bait. Flipping jigs and soft plastics was a great technique as well.
Nice buckets. I hope to be fishing them this weekend.
monster bass!!!!! Thanks for posting the report!
so you took 5 pics with the same fish?
Ha, No deception..... except long arming.
Hogs! Do you find the chatter bait better then a spinnerbait?
I have confidence in throwing spinnerbaits and swimjigs but not a lot with a chatterbait. I guess I gotta keep working on it.
Looks like you got a few tanks nice buddy!
fattys...ahhh it must be summer, the fishing reports are piling in.
nice shootin! We really got into chatterbaits last year, we started calling em cheaterbaits cause they just caught too damn well. Have you tried out the jackhammer...just a whole other level. They literally move through the water like a damn jackhammer and damn do they catch. I tip em with a 3 inch rhythm wave all sorts of fish cant resist.
I have not yet tried them. At $23 a bait and pike and musky infested water, I prefer to stick with the cheaper baits. may have to grab one now. Often wondered why they are so expensive.
they are lower profile for sure, like i said i trail them with a 3 inch rhythm wave. the colours of the jackhammers and the jackalls just completely match perfectly for some reason. I throw them with a spinnerbait rod and the thump is just stupid...theres nothing comparable. They catch when others wont, and an added bonus they can be fished just like a jig do to their small profile.
Ive had multiple fish now eat them at a dead standstill sitting on bottom.
Added some more pics. Have had a great season so for experimenting with different baits including the Ned rig.
Fished three new lakes with some success and got my little guy out a few times and got him casting with a bait caster.
More great pics! Even slipped in a nice "Ranger" shot! Nice!
MSP, those are all beautiful fish! Congrats! I wish that I had a chance to fish for buckets more often!
Nice FishI Looks like you got a great boat as well. Also great that you fish with your family. Spending most of the day in a small boat for a summer really does bring you closer to one another.
Here is my best largemouth this season, I caught it in Honey Harbour, in about 2 feet of water off a granite boulder strewn point with a reed transition section. I used a florescent orange 7 inch bass pro shops worm. it was a reaction strike mid day mid july.
Very Nice! I missed these earlier!
I picked up a couple of Chatterbaits last week and tried them once! No luck, but from what I'm reading and seeing here, I need to give them a more serious effort!

Welcome to another Tuesday Ask Rob & Rob – your weekly dose of property advice about investment matters you care about the most.
Our first question this week is from a listener who has recently discovered The Property Podcast and has been racing through the episodes to catch up to the present day.
She wants to know what exactly makes a good area to invest in property and what research should she be doing to find these golden buy to let property locations. She's discovered our list of 2019 property investment hotspots, but she wants to know how she can spot these areas herself.
Rob B is quick to dive into one of the most important things when looking at property investment hotspots, and that's fundamentals. Not just one or two of the boxes need to be ticked… they all need a huge tick in the box. Just having a few alone is simply not enough.
There are a load of other ways to spot a property hotspot too – and Rob B shares a great tip for anyone who's in the same position. There's also a great podcast on using the 'ripple effect' to find the next buy to let property hotspot which is well worth a listen.
Our second question comes from an avid lover of The Property Podcast and she is half way through putting a plan together. She has over £400,000 to invest but isn't sure on what property she should be investing in. She has a goal of generating £4,000 in rental income but wants advice from Rob & Rob on exactly what she should do and how many properties she should look to buy.
Rob D wastes no time clearing up a few simple strategy principles that many investors tend to miss, focusing attention on the wrong things. If you have a fairly aggressive yield target like today's listener, this is the episode for you. There's some diamond advice here that you can take away and apply to your own property investment journey.
Do you have a buy to let or property investment related question for Rob & Rob? You could feature on the next episode by giving us a call on 013 808 00035 and leaving a message with your name and question (normal UK call rates apply).
The next question on Ask Rob & Rob could be yours.
Have you joined us over on the Property Hub Forum yet? Our online community is friendly, informative, and the members are waiting to welcome you with open arms. So get yourself over and introduce yourself.
Going, going, gone! This week we're talking about buying at auction. Potentially a great source of grabbing property bargains, but certainly not an easy one.

United Flight Attendants Aren't Welcoming to Welcome Beverages
In a case of what one might call "too little, too late" United Airlines has introduced water bottles to its flight attendants. The airline says the move will help keep their hydration levels up as they serve passengers. However, many staff members are saying that this is not enough and should have been done earlier in order for them to maintain proper hydration levels
flight attendants are not welcoming to welcome beverages, and the United Airlines flight attendant union has said that it will fight for better working conditions.
United Airlines has reinstated its practice of offering pre-departure Welcome Beverages to premium class passengers, after resuming the sale of hard liquor aboard flights on November 15.
And the union representing the airline's flight attendants isn't thrilled about it, albeit not for the reasons you would assume.
No, this is more about COVID-19 safety than it is about additional alcohol in an age when its ubiquity has led to countless altercations on flights.
According to Matthew Klint of the aviation blog Live and Let's Fly, the union is worried about feeding premium class guests who are removing their masks to drink while others board. And, from December 1, such beverages will be served in glasses, raising concerns about viral transmission.
"Before our opposition to the restoration of this service is misunderstood, we want to be clear: this is not about Flight Attendants refusing to provide this service to guests on board." Flight Attendants, more than any other United Airlines employee, want to go back to normal on the plane as quickly as possible," the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA) stated in a statement to Live and Let's Fly. "In August of this year, two routes out of SFO were used to test the processes for returning the Welcome Beverage to the cabin. We quickly expressed our concerns to management about the resumption of this service, citing the tighter closeness to passengers that Flight Attendants would be forced to work in while moving about boarding passengers and their luggage in order to provide this service."
This includes worry for travelers wearing masks who will go by unmasked passengers while sipping their drinks.
"This "visual" presented is in sharp contrast to the messaging passengers were exposed to prior to boarding regarding the necessity to cover your nose and mouth with a mask pursuant to federal laws," according to the AFA. "We are concerned that this will just add to the difficulties faced by Flight Attendants attempting to comply with the Federal Mask Mandate."
United does not seem to be changing its mind. On all mainline flights today, November 23, the Welcome Beverage was reinstated.
Lavender Coconut Macarons: light and airy coconut macarons with a lavender buttercream filling.
Macarons have quickly become one of my favorite culinary creations. But it wasn't always like this. I must have attempted to make macarons five times in college. My cookies turned out as sad, tiny puddles that melted all over my baking sheet each time. I despised macarons and didn't think I'd ever be able to make them properly.
Now fast forward to the present. I have figured out l'art de macarons after endless trials and half-fails. I invented a recipe that yields the lightest, airiest macarons possible.
All of this is to imply that if you believe macarons are out of your reach, I highly advise you to give them a try!
It's all about the folding and drying, of course.
Keep a close eye on the way your batter falls off the spatula. 1/2-inch thick ribbons that flow gently into the batter, like lava, are what you're searching for. The batter should have a small resistance to it, as though it wants to be solid but is being pulled down by gravity.
Before putting the macarons in the oven, they must dry out for at least an hour. This will aid in the puffing up of the macarons while they cook, resulting in a lovely, thick macaron. If you follow these guidelines, you should be able to make a flawless macaron.
Now let's go on to something else. Zainab of the Blahnik Baker is the only reason for the creation of a coconut macaron. My wonderful blogger buddy is expecting a baby boy at the end of the month. I'm so pleased to be a part of a virtual baby shower organized by a group of her blogging friends!
Zainab reigns supreme over everything tropical. This gal understands how to infuse bright, zesty tastes in baked products, from her Pina Colada Ice Cream to her Key Lime Cupcakes. What's her favorite? Coconut! These Lavender Coconut Macarons are dedicated to Zainab, her husband, and their upcoming baby boy.

Sarah Fennel is the author of this piece.
Time to prepare: 1 hour and 30 minutes
1 hour 47 minutes total
1 batch yields 30-40 macarons.
Macaron recipe
a third of a cup of almond flour
a total of 112 cup powdered sugar
3 big room-temperature egg whites
14 cup white granulated sugar
12 teaspoon extract de coco
Garnish with dried lavender
The buttercream is made using
a quarter cup of whole milk
1 tablespoon lavender flowers, dried
4 tbsp unsalted butter (at room temperature)
vanilla extract (1/2 teaspoon)
10–15 drops purple food coloring (or a combination of red and blue)
Sift the almond flour and powdered sugar into a medium mixing bowl through a fine mesh sieve. Repeat the sifting process two more times. Each time you sift, you should be left with little almond grains. After each sifting, toss them away.
Whip the egg whites and salt on high speed for approximately 2 minutes in a standing mixer with a whisk attachment (or in a mixing dish with a hand mixer) until soft peaks form. Continue to beat for 1 minute, or until very stiff peaks form, adding granulated sugar and coconut extract as needed. The egg whites should have a frothy texture and keep their form well.
Pour the powdered sugar mixture over the beaten egg whites with care. Fold a spatula into the middle of the mixture, scooping down to the bowl's bottom and then scooping up along the bowl's side. With your spatula, make a rough circle: center, down, out, center, down, out, center, down, out, center, down, out, center, down, out, center, down, out, center, down, out, center, down, out Your two ingredients should slowly but steadily come together. Continue to fold the mixture until it resembles molten lava: huge ribbons should drip down into the bowl, unbroken by air, and the whole mixture should slowly ooze downwards like molten lava when you pick it up with your spatula.
Scoop the mixture into a large pastry bag fitted with a 12 inch tip. Pipe 114-inch rings onto 2-3 parchment-lined baking sheets, allowing 114-inch between each macaron. Pipe from exactly above the macaron, so your pastry tip is perpendicular to the cookie sheet, to form equal circles. With one hand, squeeze the pastry bag from the top while steadying the tip with the other. To finish your macaron, spin the pastry tip in a little spiral and raise upwards at the same time after you've piped your circle. Add 2-4 dried lavender flowers to the macarons as a finishing touch. Allow at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours for macarons to air out.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Macarons should be baked for 17 minutes. Before icing, let the cookies cool fully on their trays.
To prepare the buttercream, in a small saucepan, mix the milk and lavender flowers and heat until the milk just starts to boil around the edges. Allow to cool to room temperature after turning off the heat. Strain the lavender flowers from the milk into a small basin using a fine mesh strainer. 2 minutes to beat the butter and vanilla extract until light and frothy. 1 minute longer after adding the powdered sugar, infused milk, and food coloring, beat until light and fluffy. Fill a tiny pastry bag with the mixture and a 12 inch tip. Frost and serve your macarons after they've cooled.
*There are a plethora of video tutorials available that demonstrate proper technique for all stages of macaron making—take a look!
A regular bit of advice from a TV producer, according to Jerry Bruckheimer.
"You must be honest with yourself about your talents, in my opinion. That is the most challenging job."
"You can't be scared of working long hours or putting in a lot of effort." Sacrifice is necessary."
"You can't do something half-heartedly; you have to give it all you've got."
"You must begin from the beginning and complete each duty." That was done so that I could understand what the rest of the group was up to. It wasn't by chance that I ended up where I am today. It took an inordinate amount of time."
"It's my responsibility as a producer to get things to go my way, and that takes tenacity." You'll need to make an impregnable case for it. Every day, a plethora of distractions battle for your attention, aiming to keep you from accomplishing your goals. You're continually attempting to convince people that supporting your project is the right thing to do."
"Even the most successful individuals have reservations."
"You must learn from your mistakes." I'm not going to do them any longer."
"Every day, you make mistakes." And the key to making mistakes is to do them early in the game, which signals that you're engaged. So don't be afraid to take part."
"I believe you think about your mistakes and try to learn from them."
"You put your faith in people who don't always deliver." And they're mistakes, and you shouldn't work with them again. It's rather straightforward."
"Fear of failing is most certainly what drives me."
"If you live in a religious culture, this validates your beliefs."
"Every time you can create something that reaches a large audience, it's incredible."
"We've used something on television that I truly enjoy… The process is what it's called. "I'm a big fan of the process."
"Whether on a ship or elsewhere, there are heroes who rise above problems."
"It's vital to defend your work; else, someone else will take credit."
"You've got a real problem on your hands if you put all your eggs in one basket and it blows up."
"Well, I'm not one to delight in the past." "I'm always looking forward to the next one."
"I should have had greater faith in myself." I think I might have done more if I had believed in myself sooner."
"College is the best moment of your life," says one student. Since you're so young and have so much ahead of you, I hate to say that. College, on the other hand, is a dream come true. After all, you do carry some responsibility. You must attend class and get high grades, but it is a wonderful time, and I hope you enjoy those days since they are the best."
"All I wanted was to live a life that was a little better than what my parents had as German immigrants."
"As a kid, I was always good at organizing and putting things together." Despite the fact that I was never a very great athlete, I was able to organize a baseball team, get a sponsor, and obtain entrance into a league. Hockey gave me a sense of accomplishment. At the time, I was ten years old. So I've had that skill since I was a child. Despite this, you're always doubting your talents. The majority of the people I deal with, even the most talented, are insecure. They're always looking for a better way to do things. And I'm no different. I think of it as striving to be the best in whatever you do."
"I was always looking for ways to entertain myself. We have such hectic lives, and many of us despise what we do. Despite the fact that it was not his genuine calling, my father spent his whole life as a salesman. He looked forward to his two-week vacation every year, and he used to tell me, 'Whatever you do, make sure it's something you actually like so you don't just look forward to your holiday.' I like watching movies as well."
"I had no clue how I was going to do it, but I knew I needed to go into the movie business." It was incredible. I had no desire to work as an actor or a director. It didn't seem to matter. In some way, I had to be a part of the thing I loved."
"[Advice for first-time or prospective producers]" Get down on the ground and start working. Take any employment that will allow you to get your foot in the door. If you're good, you'll go up so swiftly once you get through the door that you won't know what hit you."
"I don't consider what I do work when compared to how my father made a living." He was on his feet the whole day."
"I like immersing you in a new environment and teaching you how to navigate it."
"From the back of the theater, I can watch an audience laugh, cry, and be moved by what I perform." I have the capacity to entertain people from all around the world. It's nice to be able to give someone that gift."
The narrator states, "We're in the transportation sector." "We relocate people from one place to another."
"There are two forms of success, in my opinion. There's critical success, which I've attained in a little way a handful of times in my career. There's also the issue of financial success, which I've achieved. In the end, it's the financial success that matters. You want people to remember your name. If I had a run of commercially disastrous films under my belt, I wouldn't be sitting in this office. I'd be living in a one-bedroom apartment with glowing reviews adorning the walls."
"I'm proud of what I've achieved in terms of brand development." "Seeing my name on an image now has significance, and people are aware of what to anticipate from me."
"I anticipate no one to show up every time I make a film; I expect it to be my last." I have a sneaking suspicion that they'll all fail. "I'm completely afraid."
"I think my success stems from a single fear: failure," says the author.
She adds, "A lot of movies inspire me to do what I do."
"I hope that after I'm gone, I'll leave behind items that will entertain and educate future generations for hundreds of years."
"Now all I have to do is keep looking forward and imagining what will happen next."
"I have a few vices, including automobiles. When I was 17, I saved every dime I had in order to buy a car, which cost about $800. It was a 1957 Plymouth convertible. I remember having a 1960s Corvette at some point in my life. That's still one of my favorites. My pickup is a 1949 Chevrolet. I have a 1967 Shelby Mustang from the film Gone in 60 Seconds, as well as antique 1940s tractors." I usually drive a BMW these days."
"I just had one of the most exciting experiences of my life, and it had nothing to do with a film." While playing in a celebrity hockey game, I scored a goal off a pass from Wayne Gretzky. "At long last, I can unwind."
"Look, I've made enough money to never have to do another show," she explains, "but I love what I do, and I'll keep doing it as long as I enjoy it."
"I'll eventually lose my guts and my golden touch, but I'll never retire."

INSPIRATIONALWoman's Amazing Act of Kindness For A Blind Man Is Touching Everyone's Heart
Maureen SantosJune 15, 201711205 min
Would you do the same?
Let me give you a scenario.
You saw a blind man about to cross a busy street while you are with your group of friends, or probably busy talking to someone on the phone. Would you take a minute and help the blind person?
We would like to hear your answer on the comment section. Meanwhile, same story has gone viral and it will make you restore your faith in humanity.
Casey Spelman, of Indianapolis, was visiting friends in Chicago and spotted a blind man having trouble hailing a cab. Without a word, Spelman split from her friends, walked over to the man and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Do you want some help getting a cab?" Spelman asked.
"He said, 'Yeah, you sound pretty, so cabs will probably stop for you before me,'" Spelman recalled the man joking.

The 26-year-old didn't think anything of her act of kindness, but Ryan Hamilton, who was watching from the rooftop of a restaurant, was so touched by the kind gesture he posted pictures of the pair on Facebook, praising the woman for lending a helping hand.
"Wanted to give a shout-out to this girl," Hamilton wrote on Facebook. "No idea who she is, but we are in Wrigleyville on the rooftop of Old Crow Smokehouse. There was a blind Cubs fan trying to hail a cab for several minutes until the lady came up and asked him if he needed help hailing a cab. She stood there with him until one pulled up. Awesome to see such kindness in a world that the media portrays so much hate in. Share freely in hopes that her kindness spreads."
The post was met with overwhelming response.
"It was a strange feeling to see photos of yourself that you did not know were taken," Spelman told CBS News. "Not only did I not realize anyone was watching, but I had no idea it would have such an impact on people."
Spelman says she is happy her pictures are inspiring others and hopes others will step outside of their comfort zones if they encounter a similar situation.
"It's okay if you are unsure of how to interact with someone, but do your best, be brave, and just be willing to help," she said. "I think if you treat someone with respect it will always be appreciated."

HffGlobal FootballNewsWhy should Real Madrid spend £100m on Hazard when they already have wonderkid Vinicius Jr?
Why should Real Madrid spend £100m on Hazard when they already have wonderkid Vinicius Jr?
The Belgian is a top summer target for the Blancos, but should they be pursuing the Chelsea star when they already possess the Brazilian sensation?
The only certainty at Real Madrid right now is that absolutely nothing is certain. Back-to-back Clasico defeats were bad enough, but a humiliating Champions League reverse at the hands of Ajax was the final straw for the fuming Bernabeu faithful, spoiled after years of European success.
Zinedine Zidane has been be drafted in once more as Madrid's firefighter, the man whose legendary standing can placate supporters more than anyone else. But who will the Frenchman turn to in his efforts to rebuild? Will the likes of Sergio Ramos and Gareth Bale, cornerstones of four Champions League wins, stay and fight or opt to vacate this leaky, if not yet sinking ship?
All will be decided in what will undoubtedly be long, tense months to come before the start of the 2019-20 season and a chance for a fresh start.
Amid such confusion and hurt the temptation to spend big and rebuild will be huge after years of relative inactivity in the transfer market. Indeed, one of the reasons Zidane agreed to return is that he was promised a huge transfer budget – reported to be in the region of €300 million (£257m/$338m).
Eden Hazard, an eternal target and very much appreciated by Zidane, will be pursued more than ever – with Madrid already making first contact over a €116m (£100m/$131m) move.
But with the teenage Vinicius Junior one of the few Madrid players to escape scathing criticism over these past few disastrous weeks, the Merengue would be advised to save their money and look elsewhere in their bid to strengthen.
The 18-year-old Brazilian's talents are evident, but what has been even more impressive is the character shown at such a tender age to step into the breach and command a regular first-team place at the Bernabeu.
Zidane's predecessor Santiago Solari utilised his former Castilla charge primarily on the left side of attack, playing a bigger part in Madrid's build-up than inside the penalty area – a role that explains his relatively slim return of four goals in 26 matches in all competitions so far. But his real contribution has been far greater.
In the Copa del Rey alone, Vinicius added a further six assists – and he has generally made life uncomfortable for defenders with his mazy dribbling and astonishing turn of pace from a standing start. The ex-Flamengo wonderkid must yet add a calmer head when finishing to his repertoire, with too many shots still ending up in row Z or nearer the corner flag than the back of the net. But there is no doubting his exceptional ability, which has led him to earn second place in the 2019 NxGn – Goal's list for the 50 best teenagers in the world born this millennium.
Where would that leave Hazard, then? The Chelsea star is seen as filling a similar role, cutting in off the left flank and creating while also providing his own quota of goals to the general effort. Madrid have long coveted his services and the Belgian is keen to make the move, especially as Zidane was his footballing idol as a youngster.
Negotiations will not be easy. Chelsea face 12 months of transfer inactivity after receiving a FIFA ban, which is currently under appeal. Losing their talisman with no prospect of replacing him from the outside would be an unacceptable scenario, one perhaps even less palatable than letting him run down his deal and leave as a free agent just over a year from now.
The first priority, of course, will be to tie the 28 year old to a new contract. Hazard will have the opportunity to become Chelsea's best-paid player in return for a 'deal for life' that will bind him to Stamford Bridge until the twilight years of his career.
The Blues will have to hope that cold hard cash overcomes Hazard's professed love and admiration for Real. "Real Madrid is the best club in the world. I don't want to lie today. It is my dream since I was a kid," he admitted back in October.
"Sometimes in my head, I wake up in the morning and think I want to go. Sometimes I think I want to stay. It is a hard decision. It is my future." The Merengue also have a hard decision to make: should they break the bank on the Belgian and convince Chelsea to sell, or else place their trust in their teenage superstar?
Whether he joins or not, Madrid are safe in the knowledge that at least one spot in their forward line has a suitable occupant for perhaps the next decade. Vinicius seems impervious to the pressure-cooker atmosphere around him, taking in his stride even the challenge of filling a spot left by none other than Cristiano Ronaldo.
An unfortunate muscle injury threatens to have finished his season early – as well as denying him his Brazil senior debut in the March friendlies – but he will be back better than ever in 2019-20 in what will be a new-look Blancos team packed with fresh faces.
One of those may be Hazard, and if the move does occur we may even see the forward pair line up together. Vinicius shifting over to the right is one plausible scenario, relegating Bale even further down the pecking order if the Welshman does not depart in the next window.
Much work is needed at the Bernabeu over the coming months, with plenty of heads set to roll. But the scintillating teenage Brazilian has his place assured, one of the very few certainties one can count on around the Spanish capital.


The song starts off with a pretty chill vibe to it, and builds to a more up-tempo country-rock vibe by the time the chorus comes around. From listening to this song, it's clear that Manny pulls some strong inspiration from Old Dominion. His voice is reminiscent of Matthew Ramsey's from Old Dominion – which makes this song seem familiar and memorable while listening to it.
We're really excited to hear what's next for Manny Blu. He's set to release two more singles by the Spring, and then his full EP titled Leave It Like It Is is scheduled to be released in the Summer of 2019. If the other singles are anything like "X On My Heart", then he's sure to have a killer release for Summer 2019.
Manny Blu is one of Canada's newest emerging country artists, and has such an interesting story. From Montreal, he started his career with aspirations of competing in MMA. He trained for years and made his amateur debut on Oct 12, 2013. He left the octagon victorious, but found himself injured in the process. During his recovery from that injury, Manny picked up a guitar and started learning how to play. It was during this recovery that he discovered his true career path.
Since then, Manny has been writing, playing, and performing across Canada. He's uprooted and moved to Nashville to work with some of the industry's top talent and planning the release of his debut EP. This EP is set to be released in the Summer of 2019.
We really dig Manny's sound, and can't wait for the release of his debut EP.

Music Review: Art 'Turk' Burton and Congo Square – 'Spirits: Then & Now'
Jack Goodstein November 11, 2015 Comments Off on Music Review: Art 'Turk' Burton and Congo Square – 'Spirits: Then & Now' 230 Views
Spirits: Then & Now, the October release from percussionist Art "Turk" Burton and Congo Square, is a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the prestigious Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM). It was founded in Chicago to foster dynamic creative approaches to the traditions molding African-American music. The organization and its early members—bands like the Art Ensemble of Chicago and Henry Threadgill's Air—were instrumental in the development and spread of new jazz ideas, a mission that continues to define the organization.
Burton's album is a brilliant demonstration of the power of that aesthetic, then and now. The first two tracks are the "then." Recorded live in July 1983 at Rick's Café Americain, the tracks feature an ensemble of Association musicians gathered by Burton especially for the performance. Among the musicians joining Burton, who worked the congas for the session, were Vincent Carter (soprano and tenor sax), Mwata Bowden (baritone sax), Theodis Rodgers, Jr. (piano), Harrison Bankhead (bass), and Reggie Nicholson (drums). Douglas Ewart (tenor sax) and Donald Rafael Garrett (bass) joined in on the second song.

They open with a Burton original, "Cuba: A Tribute to Chucho." Fittingly, the piece opens the album with a vibrant conga solo from the composer, the whole filled with the spirit of the great Chucho Valdez. They follow with a fire breathing take on the standard "When Sonny Gets Blue" that blasts for almost 11 minutes.
The rest of the album, six tracks, is the "now." The Congo Square ensemble consists of Ari Brown (tenor and soprano sax), Taalib-Din Ziyad (vocals and flute), Kirk Brown (piano), Bankhead (acoustic and Fender bass), Avreeayl Amen Ra (drums), Sammi "Cha Cha" Torres (percussion), and Luis Rosario (timbales and Brazilian percussion).
In what is a kind of salute to John Coltrane, they begin with Mongo Santamaria's "Afro Blue" and follow with two Coltrane compositions—a shorter detour to "Moment's Notice" and an intense version of "A Love Supreme" complete with chanting from Torres. The set concludes with three Burton originals: "Mojuba," a rhapsody for percussion, "Mr. Brown (Cold Sweat)," a tribute to James Brown, and "Soul Naturals," both a kind of Afro-Cuban-tinged funk.
Spirit: Then & Now is an album filled with good listening.

Medgold Secures $1.5-million Investment and Strategic Alliance for Serbian Exploration
By: Medgold Resources Corp. via Marketwired
June 13, 2016 at 03:30 AM EDT
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - June 13, 2016) - Medgold Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MED) (the "Company" or "Medgold") is pleased to announce a C$1.5-million strategic investment in the Company by Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. ("Fortuna"), a leading mid-tier precious metals miner. The private placement is part of a broader strategic alliance between Medgold and Fortuna to explore for precious metal deposits in Serbia. Subject to stock exchange approval, Fortuna will purchase 10.0 million units at $0.15 per unit, representing a premium of 36% to the closing price of Medgold's shares on June 10. Each unit is comprised of one common share in Medgold and one warrant entitling Fortuna to acquire one additional Medgold common share at $0.15 for a period of 12 months.
Medgold will use the proceeds of the private placement on project-generating exploration in Serbia within 12 months. If Fortuna exercises its warrants, Medgold will use the exercise proceeds on further exploration work in Serbia within 12 months following the date of the warrant exercise.
In conjunction with the private placement, Medgold has granted Fortuna the right to enter into an option agreement to earn up to a 70% interest in one of the geological target areas (a "Selected Property") identified by Medgold's project generation and exploration work in Serbia, by spending a total of US$8.0 million on the Selected Property and completing a PEA.
Dan James, the President of Medgold, said: "I'm delighted to welcome Fortuna as a strategic investor into Medgold. Our early-stage work in Serbia is already generating some very interesting targets - we have eight licences currently under application with the Ministry of Mines. Our agreement with Fortuna firstly secures the funding we need -at a premium to market- to kick off an aggressive project generation program in the country. Secondly, it provides Medgold with a potential partner for the advanced exploration to possible PEA level of at least one of the targets generated by our work.
Once we make a discovery, we can tap into the experience of Fortuna's first-rate mining, engineering and geological team who have re-commissioned the Caylloma mine in Peru, and built and operate a modern underground silver-gold mine at San Jose in Mexico, which is acknowledged as one of the best run silver mines in the industry. Fortuna's geological team has already spent time on the ground with our geologists reviewing some early-stage targets and we're excited to start working with them as we move our strategic alliance forward."
Option Terms
To acquire an initial 51% interest in the Selected Property, Fortuna must spend a minimum of US$3.0 million on the Selected Property by no later than the third anniversary of the date of the option agreement. Once it has earned 51% Fortuna can elect to form a 51:49 joint venture with Medgold to further develop the Selected Property; or Fortuna can elect to be granted the option to earn an additional 19% interest in the Selected Property by completing a Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Property and spending an additional US$5.0 million in qualified expenditures within three years following the date of the election by Fortuna.
About Fortuna Silver Mines Inc.
Fortuna is a growth oriented, silver and base metal producer focused on mining opportunities in Latin America. Its primary assets are the Caylloma silver mine in southern Peru and the San Jose silver-gold mine in Mexico. The company is selectively pursuing acquisition opportunities throughout the Americas and in select other areas. For more information, please visit its website at www.fortunasilver.com.

More than seven in 10 millennials – those born between the early 80s and mid 90s – are set to be overweight or obese between the ages of 35-44, according to estimates by Cancer Research UK.
This compares to around five in 10 baby boomers – those born between 1945-55 – who were overweight or obese at the same age.
This means millennials are the most overweight generation since current records began.
Being overweight or obese as an adult is linked to 13 different types of cancer including breast, bowel and kidney cancer, but only 15% of people in the UK are aware of the link.
Cancer Research UK has launched a UK-wide campaign to increase awareness that obesity is a cause of cancer.
Alison Cox, Cancer Research UK's director of prevention, said: "Being overweight is the UK's biggest preventable cause of cancer after smoking, but most people don't know about this substantial risk. If more people become aware of the link it may help spare not just millennials, but all generations from cancer.
To highlight the link, the charity handed out fake cigarette packets to shoppers in Aylesbury posing the question: What is the second biggest preventable cause of cancer? Shoppers got a big surprise on discovering the packs contained chips, and the answer was obesity.
Lottie Goodchild, 24, of Aylesbury said: "It's shocking, but not surprising. It's important people know about the link because so many in this country, including the younger generation, are practically obese without even knowing it.


I've had blueberries on my mind ever since last August's trip to Alaska. My yearly summer tradition in the Last Frontier is alpine blueberry picking. Above the tundra, off the ATV paths, on the island meadows, and beneath the rainforest trees, blueberries grow abundantly near and around Anchorage during the warmer months. Picking blueberries is a favorite summer pastime for Alaskans and visitors alike. While … Continue reading Blueberrrrieees!

Q: Google map geocoder throws "c is undefined" error (and other errors) only when Firebug is open I am using Google's geocoder webservice, and I often get the following JavaScript error: c is undefined.  My script is very simple and shown below.  I've since found that the error only occurs when using Firefox, and furthermore, only when the Firebug console is open.  Why does this happen and how do I prevent it (other than just closing Firebug).
var geocoder=new google.maps.Geocoder;
geocoder.geocode({address: '123 Main Street, Seattle WA 98123'},function(GeocoderResult, GeocoderStatus) {});

I have also experienced other errors when firebug is open.  For instance, https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/geocoding-simple throws JSON.parse: unexpected character error when firebug is open.

From its beginnings to this remarkably fresh and current new edition, Myers and DeWall's Psychology has found extraordinarily effective ways to involve students with the remarkable research underlying our understanding of human behavior. But while the content and learning support evolves edition after edition, the text itself continues to be shaped by basic goals David Myers established at the outset, including to connect students to high-impact research, to focus on developing critical thinking skills, and to present a multicultural perspective on psychology, so students can see themselves in the context of a wider world.
This new edition offers 2100 research citations dated 2015–2020, making these the most up-to-date introductory psychology course resources available. With so many exciting new findings, and every chapter updated with current new examples and ideas, students will see the importance and value of psychological research, and how psychology can help them make sense of the world around them.
The abundant, high quality teaching and learning resources in LaunchPad and in Achieve Read & Practice, carefully matched to the text content, help students succeed, while making life easier and more enjoyable for instructors.

For instructors, LaunchPad offers everything they need to quickly set up a course, customize a syllabus,create presentations and lectures, assign and assess activities, and guide the progress of individual students and the class as a whole.
Featured in LaunchPad
How Would You Know?
These online activities engage students in the scientific process, showing how psychological research begins with a question—and how key decision points can alter the meaning and value of a psychological study.
Assess Your Strengths
For each of these activities, the authors start by offering a personalized video introduction, then ask students to assess themselves on the strength. After showing students their results, the authors offer tips for nurturing that strength in students' own lives. Finally, students take a quiz to help solidify their learning.
"Thinking Critically About…" Infographic Activities
Like the infographics in the book itself, the online interactive versions have all been revised and updated for the new edition, plus there are two entirely new pieces: "Sexual Aggression" and "How to Be Persuasive."
Achieve Read & Practice
E-book + LearningCurve adaptive quizzing
Achieve Read & Practice marries Macmillan Learning's mobile, accessible e-book with the acclaimed LearningCurve adaptive quizzing. It is an easy-to-use yet exceptionally powerful teaching and learning option that streamlines the process of increasing student engagement and understanding—and the cost is significantly less than that of a printed book.
Trusted author team
Psychology offers the quality of writing and resources that instructors and students can rely on. This quality extends to the student media and instructor resources which are author-driven and integrated with the textbook. Both David Myers and Nathan DeWall bring their teaching and research experience into every page of the text and also into the activities in LaunchPad.
A focus on teaching critical thinking.
Throughout the text, the authors help students think critically. By examining sources and evidence, students can apply psychology's concepts to their own lives and to their studies—using evidence-based principles to boost their relationships, academic success, stress-management, and so much more. "To teach critical thinking" has been the first of the "Eight Guiding Principles" that have guided the authors' work on this text since the first edition.
2100 citations, dated 2015-2020.
This edition presents the field of psychology in its current state, including each sub-discipline's latest research insights The authors want students to walk away with the most accurate, current understandings of psychology to apply in their own lives and work. The end-of-book References section (fully updated for the APA's new 7th Edition Publication Manual) highlights these recent citations in blue.
Heavily revised coverage of gender identity and sexual orientation.
The authors have worked to be appropriately inclusive and fully up-to-date in their presentation of gender and sexual identity, representing the abundance of current research in this area, but also encompassing the lived experiences of many people, which may not yet be well represented in the literature.
Coordination with APA's 2020 Introductory Psychology Initiative (IPI).
Psychology, 13th Edition, and its resources are a perfect match for those interested in following these new guidelines, with full text coverage of required content and abundant student and classroom activities and assessment opportunities.
"Thinking Critically About…" Infographic Activities.
All of these infographics in the text have been revised and updated for the new edition, with two entirely new pieces on "Sexual Aggression" and "How to Be Persuasive." They are also now accompanied by new corresponding activities in LaunchPad.
Ask Yourself Questions.
New "Ask Yourself" questions appear periodically throughout each chapter to help students apply what they are learning to their own lives. This helps make the material more meaningful, and memorable.
New Student Preface, "How to Use Psychology to Live Your Best Life."
This student preface includes a discussion of "Thinking Critically and Scientifically."
"The Story of Psychology: A Timeline".
This timeline is now illustrated and has been revised to include the many diverse contributions to psychology's history.
New research and research design-oriented iClicker questions.
We have new iClicker questions for each chapter that help engage students on research topics, such as designing an effective study, considering the component parts of key research that's presented in the text, and weighing the implications of research results.
"The best parts are exciting students about the many aspects and fields of psychology."

Chapter 3: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind


Growing up in a household of people in need of recovery, one of the things I learned early on is that things can bring happiness. None of us realized that the happiness was very temporary, never seeing us through what feeling we were wanting to stuff or what hurt hole deep inside us needed filling. I had so many feelings and so many holes inside me that I didn't have near enough money for the things I needed. What hurting 7-year old in a sick family does?
Given that, it seems natural that I turned to food to help fill holes. Just another "thing," but at least the fridge was always too full, and I didn't have to worry about the money aspect.
But things caused pain too. I learned that my parents gave more expensive and better things to those people they liked more and wanted to please. I was not one of those people; my brother was. I noted every gift and compared, and set myself up for more hurt that could only be soothed in the kitchen because I didn't know any other way.
The food "things" I ran to have caused less joy in my life than any of the things I've bought. I've been fat since I was four, torturing my body over the years by alternating starvation with massive bingeing and with purging. I was never good enough because I've never been thin enough except for that growth spurt when I was nine.
Then I found the Twelve Steps. As a result of working the Steps, I've found me. As a result of finding me and learning to fill hurtful holes by feeling rather than with things or food, I've truly found the joy that is in me.
I will remind myself that things and food do not bring happiness; joy is within.
