1935 National Chicle Nagurski Headlines Love of the Game Auction
September 18, 2012 By Rich Mueller
Love of the Game Auctions, a new Internet-based sports auction house is preparing to launch its first auction, which will include the most treasured and valuable of all football cards: the 1935 National Chicle Bronko Nagurski.
The auction closing date is Saturday, Oct. 27. Bidding will begin in early October by internet, via the Love of the Game Auctions website. The auction will feature baseball and football memorabilia from the late 19th Century to the early 1970s, highlighted by the exceptionally high-grade National Football Nagurski (graded NEAR MINT by PSA), known throughout the trading card hobby as the most coveted and valuable football card.
The Nagurski achieved its notoriety because it is the first card of a well-known Hall of Famer and famous professional wrestler. It also comes from the scarce high number series of what is arguably football collecting's most important pre-World War II card set.
While the Nagurski has always been an extremely valuable card, its profile increased dramatically in 2006 when a MINT condition example sold for $240,000 in a highly-publicized private transaction. The same card sold five years later for $350,000, again in a private transaction. Sale prices of other Nagurski cards followed suit, with a NMT-MT copy nearly reaching $60,000 in 2006.
"We can't imagine a higher-quality debut auction," said LOTG Auction Director Al Crisafulli. "The Nagurski is an outstanding card . Every item in the auction is special. It's a small, curated selection of quality sports artifacts. Each lot is interesting in some way, either because of its scarcity, its quality, or because it tells a story. We think we've built an auction that will appeal to baseball and football collectors of all types."
For more information on Love of the Game and how to become a consignor or register to bid for the October 2012 and future auctions, visit the company's website at loveofthegameauctions.com. Online bidder registration for the company's inaugural auction is open now.
In addition to the Nagurski, the inaugural Love of the Game auction features a grouping of nine D304 General Baking cards, highlighted by the key card in the difficult set: Ty Cobb. Graded VG 3 by PSA, the D304 Cobb is the key card from one of the hobby's most rare and desirable vintage bakery issues.
Signed Lou Gehrig baseball cards are extremely rare but there's one in this auction–a 1933 Goudey bearing Gehrig's familiar script. "We're especially thrilled about the Gehrig," explained Crisafulli. "He's got one of the most famous signatures in all of sports, and his '33 Goudey card is instantly recognizable. Having an autographed copy blends the best of both worlds."
Prewar baseball rarities abound in the auction, including:
An 1887 N690 Kalamazoo Bat card of Joseph Mulvey (graded VG-EX 50 by SGC)
An oversized studio photo of Hall of Fame pitcher Ed Walsh wearing his 1906 championship medallion
An original Carl Horner cabinet photo of AL president E.S. Barnard
An N173 Old Judge cabinet of Arlie Latham
Two W600 Sporting Life cabinets of Hall of Famers
The hobby's legendary T206 set, also has extensive representation in the auction. Hall of Famers, rare backs (including Drum, Lenox, Broadleaf, Hindu, a blank back and others), high-grade singles and lower-grade lots (both graded and ungraded) are featured.
In addition to the National Chicle Nagurski, the sale features a grouping of high-grade National Chicle football cards, including a run of high numbers, all grading PSA 7 or better. Also featured is:
A grouping of high-grade cards from the 1948 Leaf football set
A host of hi gh-grade Hall of Famers, led by a rookie card of Roger Staubach graded MINT 9 by PSA.
A number of high-grade complete sets and starter lots.
The auction also features high-grade cards of Mickey Mantle, Christy Mathewson, Sandy Koufax, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Ted Williams and Jackie Robinson as well as some of the hobby's most difficult card types, including 1968 Topps 3-D, 1973 Topps Pin-up, 1935 Rice Stix, 1934 Butterfinger, 1958 Bell Brand, and more.
Crisafulli's favorite item in the auction, however, isn't a card at all. It's an original news service photograph of ballplayers f rom a 1943 old-timer's game at the Polo Grounds. "The game was organized by some reporters from the New York Journal-American," Crisafulli explained. "It was a benefit, to sell war bonds. At the end of the game, there was an exhibition of old-time ballplayers. Seven of the 12 Hall of Famers alive at the time were there, including Babe Ruth, Walter Johnson, Honus Wagner, and more. Three of the guys that played went on to make the Hall of Fame later. Babe Ruth hit a home run off Walter Johnson that day, and it was the last time Ruth ever hit a home run in a major league park. This photo documents a long-forgotten piece of baseball history."
The auction also includes an assortment of memorabilia including items from the Pacific Coast League, the World Football League, and bats, photographs, team-signed baseballs and vintage uncut sheets.
Love of the Game will be previewing items from its upcoming auction and accepting consignments for its next auction at The Philly Show in King of Prussia, PA from September 28 to 30. Information about the company will be located at Booth 308, and the company will be offering commission discounts for new customers' first consignments.

Q: Why can we assume that for T(n) = 2T(n/2) + theta(1), n is a power of 2? Lately I have been interested in algorithms and I have been watching a video series published by MIT. I encountered some problems regarding recurrence though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EQTVuAhSFY

The attached link is the source of the video. At 07:10, the professor mentioned that it's fine to use T(n/2) in T(n) = 2T(n/2) + theta(1) due to a certain theorem, despite that it would be more accurate to use T(the floor of n/2) or T(the ceiling of n/2).
What exactly is this theorem? Actually I'm kind of confused because n/2 might not generate the base case input for some n.
e.g. some initial input that is not a power of 2.

A: Great question. I'm sure you learnt about the Big-O in that lesson, so I shall not elaborate on that. (My explanation will use O(N) which for the ease of explanation, can be assumed as the same as theta(N), but they are different!)
The important part of Big-O (and theta) is SIGNIFICANCE. For example, O(N) will always be more significant than O(1), even if it was 99999*O(1) vs O(N).
So, what your professor is trying to say is that when you do n/2, you do NOT have to floor or ceiling it because the extra bit that you do away with is not significant. What you are dealing with is runtime in a Big-O scenario, which does not care about the nitty bitty details. We are assuming N is HUGE, and your little extra bit of time spent trying to floor or ceiling N is never comparable.
Basically for Big-O, you want sweeping generalizations, which thankfully means you can assume n is a power of 2!

Matthew Michael Hasselbeck (born September 25, 1975)[1] is a former American football quarterback and current analyst for ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown. He played college football at Boston College and was drafted in the sixth round of the 1998 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers. After a season on the practice squad and two seasons backing up Brett Favre, he was traded to the Seattle Seahawks in 2001. Hasselbeck led Seattle to six playoff appearances, including a Super Bowl loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers during the 2005 season. He was selected to three Pro Bowls in his career. Hasselbeck also played for the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts.

Matt Hasselbeck at Xaverian Brothers High School
Hasselbeck is the son of Mary Beth "Betsy" (Rueve) and Don Hasselbeck, a former New England Patriots tight end.[2] He was born in Boulder, Colorado, where his father played college football for Colorado. Matt and younger brothers Tim and Nathanael grew up in Norfolk, Massachusetts, and attended Xaverian Brothers High School in Westwood. He was selected as an honorable mention All-American by USA Today as a high school senior.
Hasselbeck attended Boston College near his family's hometown. He played for the Boston College Eagles football team from 1994 through 1997, including two years with his younger brother Tim.[3] Hasselbeck finished his college career as the starting quarterback (a position his brother Tim would later hold with the Eagles). He graduated with a degree in marketing.[4]
Hasselbeck was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the sixth round (187th overall) of the 1998 NFL Draft.[5][6] He joined the team's practice squad in 1998 and acted as a backup for the starting quarterback Brett Favre.
Hasselbeck joined former head coach Mike Holmgren and the Seattle Seahawks on March 2, 2001. The Packers traded him, along with their first draft pick (17th overall), to the Seahawks for their first (10th overall) and third-round draft picks (72nd overall).[7]
In his early years in Seattle, he battled for playing time with Trent Dilfer. However, after a strong finish in 2002, Hasselbeck entered 2003 as the unquestioned starter. Hasselbeck started all 16 games, leading Seattle to a 10–6 record for the first time since 1988 and a Wild Card berth. He also was selected to the Pro Bowl.[8][9] The 2003 NFC Wild Card Game against the Green Bay Packers went into overtime where, at the overtime coin toss, Hasselbeck famously said "We want the ball and we're gonna score."[10][11] During the second overtime possession for the Seahawks, Hasselbeck threw an interception to Packers defensive back Al Harris which was returned 52 yards down the sideline for a touchdown. It gave Green Bay a 33–27 overtime victory.[11]
In 2004, Hasselbeck won the 2004 NFL Quarterback Challenge. He also led Seattle to their first NFC West title since realignment in 2002.
In 2005, Hasselbeck had one of his most productive career performances, earning the highest passer rating in the NFC,[12] and leading the Seahawks to the playoffs for the third consecutive year while clinching the NFC's top seed. He led the Seahawks to Super Bowl XL, in which they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and was the starting quarterback for the NFC in the 2006 Pro Bowl.[13]
Hasselbeck led the Seahawks to a 4–1 record to start the 2006 season before being seriously injured on Week 7. Minnesota linebacker E. J. Henderson rolled into Hasselbeck's right leg. The result was a second degree MCL sprain, causing Hasselbeck to miss four games. Hasselbeck contended that Henderson could have avoided injuring him.[14] Upon returning he subsequently broke fingers on his non-throwing hand, but continued to lead his team to a 9–7 record and the divisional round of the post-season. The fourth-seeded Seahawks defeated the Dallas Cowboys 21–20 in the wild card round in Seattle, then lost to the top-seeded Chicago Bears in overtime, 27–24.

In 2007, Hasselbeck led his team to its fourth consecutive division title[15][16] and fifth consecutive playoff appearance. He had 3,966 passing yards, 28 touchdowns (both career highs), 62.6% completion percentage, and a 91.4 passer rating.[8][9] He threw for 229 yards in a 35–14 NFC wild card victory over the Washington Redskins. The third-seeded Seahawks lost in the divisional round to the NFC's No. 2 seed Green Bay, losing 42–20 in the snow at Lambeau Field[17] despite an early 14–0 lead.
Hasselbeck set career highs in yards, attempts, and touchdown passes in the 2007 season and was elected to his third Pro Bowl.[8][9]
In 2008, Hasselbeck suffered from a back injury that affected a nerve in his lower back, creating a weakness in his leg that brought on a knee injury. Hasselbeck twisted his back awkwardly in the preseason opener on August 8 at Minnesota and missed the rest of the preseason. His bulging disk was diagnosed and treated with injections and he opened the regular season as the starter, but he hurt his knee after a hit early in the Seahawks' loss to the New York Giants on October 5. He also received a helmet-to-helmet hit vs. the Arizona Cardinals. These injuries caused Hasselbeck to miss most of the 2008 NFL season.
In the 2009 season opener, things did not start out well for Hasselbeck, who threw two interceptions in the first quarter. After that Hasselbeck dominated the rest of the way, completing 25 of 36 passes for 279 yards and three touchdowns in their 28–0 win over the St. Louis Rams. During Week 2 of the 2009 NFL season, Hasselbeck fractured his rib against the San Francisco 49ers and missed the next two games against the Bears (Week 3) and the Colts (Week 4). During Week 5, playing the Jaguars, Hasselbeck threw four touchdown passes in the Seahawks' second shutout of the season, beating Jacksonville 41–0. In Week 6, Hasselbeck played his career worst,[citation needed] losing to the Arizona Cardinals with 27–3.
During the final week of the season, Hasselbeck won the Seahawks' "Steve Largent Award."[18]
In 2010, the season started off strong for Hasselbeck, leading his team to a 4–2 record and victories over the Chicago Bears and San Diego Chargers. But the degree of Hasselbeck's health would prove to be inconsistent, with injuries leading him to sit out crucial games later in the season, leading the Seahawks to lose seven of their last ten. Nevertheless, Seattle would make the playoffs with their fifth NFC West division championship.
Hasselbeck was 45-19 at Seattle's Qwest Field.
Seattle became the first team with a losing record to host a playoff game, taking on the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints during wild card weekend.[19] Despite being 11 point underdogs, Hasselbeck had one of the most memorable and clutch performances of his career. He threw for 272 yards, four touchdowns (a franchise postseason record) with one interception coming from a tipped ball, and a 113.03 passer rating, leading the Seahawks to victory over the defending Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints.[20] However, Seattle would go on to lose 35–24 in the divisional playoffs against the Chicago Bears. Hasselbeck still played well, however, with over 250 yards passing and three touchdowns.
Playoff career
Hasselbeck's 11 postseason starts as a quarterback rank 16th all-time in NFL history, leading the Seahawks to five postseasons in a row under Mike Holmgren at one point.[21]
In 2003, his first playoff appearance, Hasselbeck pronounced, "we want the ball and we're going to score" at the coin flip of overtime with Green Bay.[22] Hasselbeck was intercepted by Al Harris in overtime, who returned the pass for a game-winning touchdown.[23] After that season, Hasselbeck would go on to lead Seattle to six playoff appearances in eight years.
In 2005, Hasselbeck led Seattle to Super Bowl XL, where they lost to Pittsburgh in a game remembered for its poor officiating.[24] The NFL Network called it one of the 10 most controversial games in NFL History. Head referee Bill Leavy later apologized to Hasselbeck at a Seahawks offseason practice in 2010, publicly saying he would "go to his grave for kicking several calls in the fourth quarter that affected the outcome of the game."[25]
In 2006, Hasselbeck rallied Seattle in the fourth quarter and threw the game-winning touchdown at Qwest Field to beat the Dallas Cowboys 21–20, but that occurred before Tony Romo's infamous dropped snap.[26]
In 2010, Hasselbeck led Seattle to a surprising playoff upset when he beat the New Orleans Saints, who were the defending Super Bowl champions and 11-point favorites. Although the game would be remembered for Marshawn Lynch's Beast Quake run, Hasselbeck was an integral part in the win with 272 yards and four touchdowns.[27] The game was called "Hasselbeck's finest hour" by ESPN, and turned out to be his final game at Qwest Field in Seattle leading Seattle to a 41–36 upset of the New Orleans Saints.[28]
Departure from Seattle
Hasselbeck's departure from the Seahawks was largely a surprise, given his status with the Seattle fan base. At the conclusion of the 2010 season Pete Carroll announced re-signing Hasselbeck was the Seahawks "number one offseason priority",[29] with Hasselbeck emphasizing his desire to retire in Seattle. However, the two sides had trouble reaching an agreement as Hasselbeck reportedly turned down a one-year offer before the NFL lockout began, asking for two years.[30] When Hasselbeck was rumored to be "Plan A" for the Tennessee Titans and rumors surfaced the Seahawks were pursuing Tarvaris Jackson instead of Hasselbeck, Seattle fans began a web and social media campaign at the end of the NFL lockout in 2011 to "Bring Back Matt", with a website www.bringbackmatt.com.[31] Pete Carroll and GM John Schneider called Hasselbeck after the lockout to let them know they were "moving on." Hasselbeck described the call as "worse than breaking up with an old girlfriend." The Seahawks took out a full-page ad in The Seattle Times the following day to salute Hasselbeck and his family for their work.[32]

On July 29, 2011, Hasselbeck signed a three-year, $21 million deal to play for the Tennessee Titans.[33] He was recruited by Mike Reinfeldt, the former vice president of football administration for the Seahawks and current executive vice president and the chief operating officer for the Titans, who was part of the team for four of Hasselbeck's five NFC West division championships and Super Bowl appearance. Hasselbeck was targeted by the Titans, who were looking for a veteran quarterback to help lead the team to wins while also mentoring first-round draft pick Jake Locker. The Titans finished 2011 with a 9–7 record, narrowly missing out on the final playoff berth due to losing to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 9.[34][35]
Hasselbeck's first action in the 2012 season came in Week 1 against the New England Patriots after Locker left early in the game with a shoulder injury.[36] Hasselbeck started the next four weeks while Locker healed, finishing 2-2 in those starts; his victories were at home against Pittsburgh (the first Titans win over Pittsburgh since 2008) and at Buffalo, winning on a last-minute touchdown to Nate Washington.[37] The Titans went 6-10 on the season.[38]
On March 18, 2013, Hasselbeck was released by the Titans.[39]
On March 19, 2013, the Indianapolis Colts signed Hasselbeck to a two-year deal worth up to $7.25 million. He beat Chandler Harnish to win the backup job for the 2013 season.[40] Backing up Andrew Luck, Hasselbeck saw little playing time during his first two years but mentored the budding star.[41] In 2013, Hasselbeck attempted only 12 passes, completing seven for 130 yards and one interception.[42] The following season, Hasselbeck appeared in only four games but led two touchdown drives, one during a blowout loss against the Dallas Cowboys and another during garbage time in the season finale against division rival (and former team) the Tennessee Titans.[43][44]
On February 26, 2015, Hasselbeck signed a one-year contract to remain with the Colts.[45]
Hasselbeck made his first start with the Colts on October 4, 2015, filling in for the injured Luck. He led the Colts to an overtime win, defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars, 16–13.[46] After a short week that included Hasselbeck being ill from a bacterial infection and having virtually no practice time, he was once again called upon to play for Luck. He became only the second 40-year-old NFL quarterback to win back-to-back games, when he engineered a 27–20 win over the Houston Texans on October 8, 2015.[47] Over those two starts, he completed 48 of 76 passes for three touchdowns and no turnovers, compiling a 2-0 record as starter.
On November 22, 2015, Hasselbeck started his third game for the Colts, as Luck suffered a kidney injury that would ultimately take him out for the remainder of the season. He passed for 213 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in a come-from-behind win over the Atlanta Falcons.[48] The win kept Indianapolis in the lead of the AFC South division and improved them to a 5–5 record. The following week, the Colts took on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who were on a four-game winning streak. Hasselbeck led the team to a 25–12 win, passing for 315 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions, which led to a passer rating of 100.8.[49][50] Hasselbeck led the Colts to a 6-5 record with a 4-0 record as starter at the age of 40, and was the first quarterback in NFL history to do so. However, injuries began to take their toll on the aging quarterback, and Hasselbeck's play would begin to deteriorate as the Colts lost three straight games. Hasselbeck won the final start of his career, an 18-12 win over the Miami Dolphins, thanks in large part to Frank Gore's two rushing touchdowns.[51] He and backup Charlie Whitehurst were unable to play the season finale due to injury; to take their place the Colts signed Josh Freeman and Ryan Lindley, who subsequently split time in a 30-24 win over the Titans.[52] Overall, Hasselbeck was responsible for five of the Colts' eight wins over the season, despite only starting eight games.
On February 28, 2016, it was reported that Hasselbeck would not return to the Colts.[53] On March 9, 2016, Hasselbeck announced his retirement from professional football, and that he would join his brother Tim and become an analyst for ESPN, replacing Mike Ditka on Sunday NFL Countdown.[54][55] Hasselbeck signed a one-day contract with the Seattle Seahawks to officially retire as part of their organization.[56]

Together they live in Weston, Massachusetts and have two daughters, Annabelle (born 2001) and Mallory (born 2003), and one son, Henry (born 2005).[72][73] His daughters are both committs for the womens lacrosse team at Boston College.
Matt Hasselbeck was struck by lightning in 1996. Not only has he been hit by lightning, his wife has too.[74][75]
He is the brother-in-law of television personality Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who is married to his younger brother Tim.

Talent Strategy 2021
How are the selection processes going to evolve and improve?
Back Talent Strategy 2021
We have been developing a scouting programme. The aim of this scouting system is to collate more insight ensuring informed decision making takes place at selection points. The process will ensure that several scouts observe a player on multiple occasions. These observations will be systematically recorded and utilised in selection. We have also begun developing a 'new' player profile which will cover a broad range of qualities - this will aid our future talent development and identification. We will need a group of exceptional people (in some instances coaches) to scout talent and a robust process of nominating and then observing players on multiple occasions. Clearly, it will be important that these scouts are as independent as possible and understand the biases, both conscious and unconscious, that can be involved in talent identification and selection.
How can I find out more about the Talent Strategy 2021? With changes for 11-14 y/o in effect in 21/22. What happens in the interim? How will the new system increase diversity in junior talent development? I would like to speak to someone about this, who should I contact?

LEGENDARY DRAG RACER GARY PHILLIPS - INTERVIEW
By Scott Taylor | Photos: Simon Davidson & Jon Van Daal, 05 Sep 2017 Features
Drag racer Gary Phillips has been breaking records, winning championships and generally setting the standard for decades
Drag racer Gary Phillips has been breaking records, winning championships and generally setting the standard for decades. Back in 2010, we spoke with Gary as he was about to mark his 40th season of drag racing, with an impressive 15 national titles under his belt.
This article on Gary Phillips was originally published in the August 2010 issue of Street Machine
Just as Jim Read is synonymous with Top Fuel in Australia, Gary Phillips is the man in Top Alcohol. And with the 2009/10 ANDRA season adding yet another Top Alcohol title to his impressive string of victories there's no sign of him slowing down.
You've won 15 Australian titles in total — are you still hungry?
Winning doesn't get old. I don't get complacent; complacency is not one of my traits [laughs].
What did you start racing in?
My street car — an EH Holden. Then I stepped up to a Ford Y-block powered altered and then a Holden six-cylinder FED. You look back, and you wouldn't drive some of that stuff on a bet now. You wouldn't get in them on jack stands. You think about what you got away with and how lucky you were.
What was your first really quick car?
A direct-drive BB/Dragster, powered by an iron-block 392 Hemi and 6/71. It ran a 7.70 at 190mph or so.
Is that when the Yanks started to take notice?
Marc Danekas toured Australia in 1980, match-racing with Marvin Graham. Marc offered me a job crewing for him back in the States. I was in my mid-20s and single at the time, so I jumped at the chance. I spent the '81 season crewing for them and they finished third in the NHRA Top Fuel championship.
What was that experience like?
There were only three of us working on that car. Back then it was 100 per cent nitro and two-speed transmissions — 5.60@250mph was a killer run. Now we make more horsepower on alcohol than we did on nitro back in those days.
You also crewed with Jim Read in the US.
Yep, it was Jim, Russell Jones and me. Jim qualified number one and set a new track record with a 5.69sec pass at the 1982 Winternationals in Pomona, California. Unfortunately, he went out first round but we certainly had the Yanks talking.
When did you get a chance to drive over there?
I headed back to the States in '86 for more crew work which eventually led to a drive in Bill Dunlap's Nitro Funny Car running NHRA, IHRA and AHRA.
You suffered a massive crash at the '86 NHRA Springnationals, right?
It was black Friday [laughs] — Friday 13th of June it was. That was a crew malfunction; they burnt a piston and never tightened up the rocker cover and it blew the gaskets out. I didn't get hurt — I burnt my little finger and moustache, that was about it. If you can't be fast, be spectacular! I think Debbie was more concerned than me. We weren't married at that stage. She was standing on the start line and all she could see was the fibreglass on fire.
So you were straight back into it?
I came back with another funny car and did match-racing in Oz and New Zealand. When Top Alcohol became an official Group One ANDRA bracket, I had a go and won my first couple of Aussie Championships in '91 and '92.
What changed for you after that?
That's when I started to get serious about it. I had reasonable equipment and reasonable cars. On top of that, I'd just gotten a lot more experience and that's when the winning started.
When did you get back into the dragsters?
I bought a new dragster chassis after crashing and destroying my funny car at Willowbank in '92. That one could have been nasty. I shook the tyres and hit the guardrail. It jammed the throttle open and it went across the track the other way and ended up over the top of the guardrail. The dragster was a good car — it ran the first five-second Top Alcohol pass and won a lot of races.
So why did you make the move back into racing the funny car in 2007?
I needed a new challenge and with the funny car thing I thought there were better opportunities for Lucas Oil products with signage space. Plus there was a performance barrier there that I thought was attainable. And we proved that by setting both ends of the record — but I still think we can go quicker.
What is it like running the Doorslammer on top of the Alcohol car?
Doing the two-car thing is hard but it's sort of worked out. I needed an outlet, though, because there weren't as many rounds for Top Alcohol and I still had to service Lucas Oils, so it was easier to do that just to keep the sponsor happy. Plus it was a challenge and interesting to see how we'd end up going over there.
You're a professional drag racer now but what did you used to do for a job?
Well I've had 40-something jobs and the reason I've had that many is because I used to want time off to go racing and they wouldn't give it to me, so I'd quit. Then I'd come back and I'd have to get another job. I started off as an apprentice radio and TV technician. It was hard — I'd be at a job for a couple months and I'd want time off and they'd say: "No, you haven't been here long enough," and I'd say: "See ya!" One day I'd be a mechanic, the next day I'd be a fitter or a plumber, and to this day I've never been asked for a certificate.
You've said that you're more mechanically minded than driver orientated — is there any interest in handing off the driving duties to your son, Cheyne?
Well he's champing at the bit and he's 20 but my deal with him was go to uni and do business finance and all that. I said: "You can race forever but get a career first and then we'll talk about it."
How hard is it to stay at the top of the field?
It's hard to win the first one [championship] but it's even harder to stay there. It keeps you driven, I think, when you get to the top of the ladder and there're 20 guys trying to knock you off the top. When you're up there, there's only room for one. I just try and race me; I don't race the other guy, I just race my lane.
It's a real family deal for you guys, isn't it?
Oh it is — we do 99 per cent of the work here. I've just got a home workshop. I haven't got a flash shed. I always say that to guys; I don't race sheds or trailers — I race with the race car. Deb is the backbone of it all, she's as keen as I am. It gets harder as you get older and all that stuff but we don't surround ourselves with a cast of 1000s because the quality control goes out the door, so we do everything ourselves. The logistics of it is better when you have some control over it. I'm probably trying to do too much, with tuning, paying the bills and driving but I'm pedantic about quality control — there is no second-best otherwise it doesn't go down the track. The buck stops with me.

Yes, the Nintendo Wii is that and then some. It's a lot of fun, but man if you're out of shape, playing over extended periods can be painful. Boxing is the obvious example where you're constantly keeping your arms up to play. Of course, you can find lazier ways around this, but why buy a Wii if you're not going to immerse yourself in this kind of play?
It seems Sony can't sell nearly as many PS3s as Nintendo can sell Wiis. Nintendo outsold Sony 355,000 units to 127,000 units in February. Microsoft sold 228,000 Xbox 360s. Although the one bright side for Sony is that the PS3 is helping to drive Blu ray disc sales, which is outselling my HD-DVDs. GRRR.
The funny thing is the one game the house has been playing the most of is Mario Kart 64 that we downloaded off of WiiConnect. The sad thing is the emulation needed to run Mario Kart slows down the game. It feels laggy that I thought the firmware update would have fixed but I guess didn't.
Tony and Mustafa played Wii Play for a long time last night, and they became greatly addicted the "Tanks" minigame. Of course, I owned them all. And to note, the "Table Tennis" one is really hard. I think it's too sensitive for me.


Stueve Siegel Hanson LLP partners Norman Siegel and Patrick Stueve have been named to the Kansas City Business Journal's Best of the Bar, the publication announced Aug. 27.
Siegel and Stueve were selected for the annual award, which recognizes attorneys in private legal practice within the Kansas City metropolitan area. The honor is based on accomplishments and casework over the past two years.
For Siegel and Stueve, the recognition comes on the heels of success in litigation nationwide.
In June, Siegel obtained a $34.3 million jury verdict in a class-action case on behalf of 24,000 current and former policy holders of State Farm universal life insurance in Missouri. The jury found that State Farm had been systematically overcharging those customers for 23 years.
Earlier in 2018, Siegel settled a similar case against John Hancock Life Insurance Company for $59.75 million and is leading several other related cases pending across the country.
In February, Judge Thomas Thrash of the Northern District of Georgia named Siegel as co-lead counsel on behalf of consumers in litigation over the Equifax data breach, which affected more than 145 million consumers – nearly half of the U.S. population – involving names, birth dates, Social Security numbers, addresses and more.
Siegel also was lead counsel in a case against The Home Depot Inc. that settled in August 2016. The settlement, related to a data breach affecting 40 million customers, created a cash fund of $13 million for customers who suffered out-of-pocket losses and provided 18 months of identity monitoring services.
Stueve was appointed as co-lead and class counsel for a case against agribusiness giant Syngenta on behalf of corn growers, grain-handling facilities and ethanol plants nationwide. In April, the MDL Court granted preliminary approval of a $1.51 billion settlement resolving thousands of cases nationwide against Syngenta related to its marketing and launch of Agrisure Viptera and Agrisure Duracade corn seed. The settlement is the largest in the history of GMO seed litigation.
In 2017, Stueve represented more than 7,000 Kansas corn growers in a related case against Syngenta. After a three-week trial, the jury returned a $217.7 million verdict in favor of the Kansas corn farmers – 100 percent of the compensatory damages requested. The jury verdict was the 10th largest verdict in the country in 2017 and the only case to reach a verdict before a global settlement was reached with Syngenta.
In late 2016, Stueve secured all $9.2 million sought by his clients related to their work in the Bayer Genetically Modified Rice Multidistrict Litigation case. In this instance, he represented plaintiffs' lawyers from around the country who wanted to be paid for their work landing a massive settlement against Bayer on behalf of U. S. Rice Farmers.
Siegel and Stueve will be recognized in the Oct. 26 edition of the Kansas City Business Journal. More information is available here (subscription required).

Cairns - Tropical Capital of Queensland
It's a unique, quiet and relaxing village by the sea where centuries old "paperbark" Melaleuca trees line the casual esplanade, is a tropical paradise which provides for all of your needs and ensures your holiday will be one to remember in an atmosphere of relaxed sophistication.
Australia's premier regional city and safest tropical city in the world, Cairns, is the international gateway into Tropical North Queensland and custodian of two of the world's greatest natural treasures - the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics Rainforests. Few places exist on earth where two such treasures rest side by side, making a holiday in Cairns a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Cairns is a mecca for scuba divers, snorkellers, reef cruises, all types of fishing, rainforest walks, outback "bush" adventures, native bird and wildlife watching with tours of all shapes and sizes available, and adventure activities and accommodation to suit all types of budgets. And as the major centre in North Queensland, the city is an ideal starting point from which to explore Queensland's Tropic North.
Cairns International Airport recorded more than three million international and domestic passenger movements during 2002/03. This winter, why not be one to share the Cairns experience - a tropical paradise of palm-fringed beaches, balmy days, easy living, spectacular rainforests, exotic fauna and flora and dramatic waterfalls, carefully mixed with the advantages of tourist attractions, shopping malls, sophisticated hotels, restaurants and nightclubs.
The $54 million Cairns Aquarium and Reef Research Centre is open, inviting eco-lovers on a 2.5-hour interactive journey from the rainforest to the reef, through 10 North Queensland ecosystems and 71 habitats.
Trinity Beach
Trinity Beach, described as Cairn's favourite beach, is just 15 minutes drive north of the city, but close enough to enjoy the many attractions it has to offer.
Locals and tourists mingle in a relaxed tropical setting which gives Trinity beach the experience rarely found elsewhere. Trinity Beach, safely nestled between two headlands, is a paradise for bird watchers, animal lovers, fishermen, or those who simply want to lie back and relax. Soak up the sun. Stroll palm-fringed shores. Build sandcastles with the kids. And if you want a change then tours depart Trinity Beach daily.
Kewarra Beach A variety of apartment-style accommodation is available for those who want the convenience and freedom offered by resort-style self-contained units, but at the same time, a variety of budgets are catered for. In much the same easy-going way, Trinity offers dining experiences to suit all tastes, from plain tucker to bush tucker to exotic cuisine. Along the esplanade, there are a number of local cafes and stores which sell fresh provisions, beachwear and souvenirs.
Try windsurfing, sailing, wave skis, boogie boards and beach volleyball. Swim safely all year round. For those who can't give up their exercise routine, try the gym. Enjoy a game of tennis, squash or even bowls, and there's a world-class golf course too.
Tully Tours
Sonya Jeffrey, from Tully's Ingan Tours, knows just the place. Her family runs a 100 per cent Aboriginal-owned tourism experience in Davidson Valley – home to the Janbanbarra Jirrbal Rainforest people. Situated halfway between Townsville and Cairns, it's also Australia's lushest corner, recording the highest rainfall in the country and third highest in the world.
Yorkeys Knob
Yorkeys Knob, named after a local fisherman who long ago lived on the rocky hill near Half Moon Beach has long been one of North Queensland's best-kept secrets. Yorkeys has everything to offer the most particular visitor - safe beaches, restaurants, shopping, accommodation, a world-class marina, and a range of holiday activities. But best of all, there's always a little bit of paradise waiting for you along the golden palm-fringed beach overlooking the sparkling waters of the Coral Sea. Swim, sail, wind-surf, snorkel or dive on the Great Barrier Reef, visit the World Heritage Rain Forests or if you want to return to city living, drop into Cairns City knowing that you can return to restful Yorkeys Knob whenever you want to.
Palm Cove - Premier beach destination
Here the foothills of rainforest mountains meet palm-fringed beaches of the Coral Sea nestles Cairns' premier beach destination of Palm Cove. If you take a dawn walk, you'll be in the presence of lorikeets, kookaburras, sulphur-crested cockatoos, wallabies, rare tree green frogs and it's hard to believe this peaceful place is just 20 minutes north of Cairns International Airport.
Palm Cove is a wonderful lifestyle destination, both affordable and catering for all accommodation needs from international standard resorts to self-contained holiday apartments; all carefully positioned among majestic melaleuca trees interspersed with coconut palms and tropical gardens.
Wherever you choose to stay, you will have access to a world heritage rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. Have a go at white-water rafting, canoeing, horse-riding or trekking. Palm Cove has a distinctive character and intimate ambience; its old-world charm, tropical colours, idyllic setting and serenity have visitors returning again and again.
It's your holiday - do it all, or do nothing and do it at Palm Cove.
Half-day trip to Outer Reef.
Visitors short on time wanting to find Nemo or Dory will love the launch of Port Douglas' new half-day trip to the outer reef with Tropical Journeys. Offering two departures daily on the comfortable 50-seater Calypso Blue, visitors can opt for a morning trip departing at 7:30 or sleep in and take the afternoon adventure that departs at 1:00 pm.

Back in the old days, got credit scores from equifax and transunion as part of credit report purchase. They were.both higher than my fico score. Both FAKO's were in 600s. Both FICOs were in 500s. I applied for Barclays apple rewards and Discover it. Declined for both. Since then, I obviously have accurate FICOs in the 700s. Having a secured installment loan helps cushion against minor fluctuations. I obviously overcame the past, and have received Discover IT and Barclays Aviator (and a few other cards on my side list). Of course, I used score watch while cleaning my reports. I then tend to purchase the 3b monitoring before applying for new credit. I use credit karma and credit.com to monitor for abrupt changes in credit, those are free.


Tarana Burke started the #MeToo movement years before 2017's numerous allegations of sexual misconduct across Hollywood, politics, and various other industries. Time Magazine recently announced that Silence Breakers and the #MeToo movement were chosen as the Person of the Year. We asked Burke about the movement and why she says she would never meet with President Donald Trump if she had the opportunity. Following is a transcript of the video.
Tarana Burke: Donald Trump has proven to be the kind of person who you can't reason with, and who you can't have a logical conversation with, and who I can't imagine having a heart-to-heart conversation thinking that I would change something specifically about this person.
None of the evidence that I've seen in the last year shows me that that would be even worth my time. So I don't know that I would sit down and have a conversation with him. Just to have him not change.
I'm interested in talking to people and dealing with people who are set and ready for change and action. Who get it. And who are looking for solutions. And I don't think that he's one of those people.
A lot of people started off this year feeling a sense of hopelessness, because we had a president in our office who was self-admitted to be a sexual predator. Somebody who said out of their own mouth that they described in detail how they go about violating women.
As a woman, as an American citizen, that is disheartening to know that the person who is the leader of your country thinks like that and operates like that. And we've gone from that to the Women's March, to now this #MeToo moment, and several things in between. In ways I think that it has emboldened women and empowered us to step up and amplify our voices even louder.
And so to end the year with Silence Breakers, people that as a result of this #MeToo movement, is just really … ummm … I don't know if I have the accurate word … but it's badass!

Best VPN for the money
Cheap yet speedy, NordVPN was the first VPN provider to undergo an independent audit of its own no-logs policy.

By Jennifer Allen 2019-10-22 17:22:17 UTC
UPDATE: October 22, 2019, 12:21 p.m. EDT This story has been updated following news that a NordVPN server was hacked.
A good VPN provides you with extra security when browsing online, watching Netflix overseas, torrenting, or surfing the web in China. We've written extensively about VPNs in the past, giving recommendations on which VPN to get according to Reddit users, as well as which VPNs are the fastest. But what about the most secure?
Connecting to the internet by way of a VPN means that your ISP can't see what you're doing and neither can the authorities. That only works if your VPN doesn't keep logs, though. Otherwise, those logs can help trace your online activities.
This is a particular problem if your VPN service is located in one of the 5/9/14-Eyes Alliance countries whereby surveillance agencies are more likely to be legally allowed to access your browsing history.
Understandably, this can all be an issue for some privacy conscious users, especially if you're trying to use a VPN to get around a country's restrictive censorship laws.
While many VPN clients promise that they don't keep any logs of your activities, the idea of a "no-logs policy" can mean a number of different things. Some companies can still keep more information than you feel comfortable about providing. A strict no-logs policy is what's needed most of all if you want your data to be kept away from roving eyes.
Whatever your reason for keeping secure online, it's important to pick out the right no-logs VPN for you. Here's a look at the best options for you and your budget. Hit the grey arrow on each to expand the full card and read why each made our list.
Image: expressvpn
Great encryption • Unique features • Minimal information kept by VPN
Can get pricey • No free trial
Expect to commit to ExpressVPN for a while for the best price, but there's no complaints here about its privacy policy.
Good to know: AES-256 encryption, no logs kept, 160 VPN server locations in 94 countries, split tunneling feature
Price: Between $8.32 a month and $12.95 per month depending on length of plan
Based in the British Virgin Islands, ExpressVPN is off to a great start when it comes to security and reduced concerns about logs. It isn't subject to any data retention laws with any out-of-state disclosure orders required to come from the island's High Court.
Also reassuringly, it keeps a strict no-logs policy whereby there's only a small amount of session logging but no connection times or IP addresses are tracked so there's no way of ExpressVPN putting the information together to see what you've been doing.
As a standard VPN it's also a great service, and has routinely topped our other lists, including the best VPNs for China, the best VPNs for torrenting, and the best VPNs according to Reddit users. There's AES-256 encryption, which is pretty much the best level of encryption you could hope to see here. There are also features such as split-tunneling, which allows you to route some traffic through a VPN while the rest of it goes through your regular internet connection, thereby adding an extra level of security. A kill-switch means you never have to worry about the connection dropping either, and if it does, all internet traffic is blocked until you reinstate it.
Server choices are vast with the option of 160 different locations across 94 countries. It's also possible to connect to Netflix and other streaming services via ExpressVPN with a fairly speedy service guaranteed.
There's no free trial for ExpressVPN but there is a 30-day money back guarantee if you're not entirely happy. ExpressVPN is one of the pricier options out there, with a monthly subscription priced at $12.95, but that steadily drops to $99.95 for a 12-month subscription. For the price, you can use five devices simultaneously with unlimited bandwidth available to you.
Image: Nordvpn
Thousands of servers to choose from • Cheap
Windows 10 app is pretty ugly
In terms of sheer value, few other providers can hold a candle.
Good to know: AES-256 encryption, independently audited 5559 servers across 60 countries, double VPN option
Price: Between $2.99 per month and $11.95 depending on subscription plan
Note: NordVPN has announced that it suffered a breach in March 2018 when a hacker exploited an insecure remote management system at a Finnish data center from which the company was renting servers. Fortunately, this isolated attack affected just one NordVPN server — and thanks to its strict no-logging policy, no user activity was compromised in the incident. Click here to learn more.
NordVPN stands confidently by its no-logging policy — so much so that it subjected said policy to an independent audit last year, a first for the VPN industry. It conducted a second no-logs audit in the wake of its March 2018 server snafu, and launched an independent external audit of its entire infrastructure in 2020.
NordVPN's commitment to said policy is bolstered by the fact that it offers AES 256-bit encryption along with CyberSec protection, which blocks ads and malicious websites for you before you even get near any issues.
It also has a Double VPN feature where you can encrypt your data twice, effectively hiding your data behind two VPN servers rather than the usual one. Sure, it's not necessary for many users, but it's a nice bonus option if you wish to be extra careful. Like ExpressVPN, there's an automatic kill switch too.
NordVPN offers thousands of different servers so you're sure to find a fast one. There's support for Netflix and torrenting too so you have plenty of flexibility.
Subscription plan prices vary depending on how long you commit to NordVPN. The 3-year plan works out at $2.99 per month (billed at $107.55 every three years) with the price creeping up to the equivalent of $6.99 per month for a year, or $11.95 on a monthly basis. For the price, you can connect six devices at the same time.
Best for many devices
Image: Surfshark
Unlimited connections at once • Ad blocker • Plenty of servers
Only cheap if you commit to long term plan
Surfshark is a secure, privacy conscious option for VPN users who plan to engage multiple devices simultaneously.
Surfshark keeps very few details about your existence, and it offers unlimited simultaneous connections so it's perfect for many devices.
Good to know: AES-256 encryption, 800+ servers across 50+ countries, unlimited connections, MultiHop feature
Price: Between $1.99 per month and $11.95 per month depending on length of subscription plan
Based in the British Virgin Islands, Surfshark is off to a great start when it comes to avoiding jurisdiction that could be an issue. Surfshark doesn't need to worry about complying with data retention laws or surveillance and that's demonstrated by its services.
The only information that Surfshark keeps is email details and basic billing information (for obvious reasons). Other than that, Surfshark has no interest in tracking what you're doing or being able to report back to any authorities about those habits.
It's also just a solid VPN. It has CleanWeb, which blocks ads, trackers, and malware before they get near your system, as well as a standard kill-switch and DNS leak protection. A camouflage mode promises to make it impossible for your ISP to see you're even using a VPN. There's MultiHop functionality too, which enables you to connect via multiple countries at once to keep even more hidden.
There's support for Netflix, torrenting, and other streaming services too.
Surfshark's prices vary depending on how long you subscribe for. A month-by-month plan works out at $11.95 per month, with a 24-month plan averages out to $1.99 per month.
Image: Tunnelbear
Simple and adorable interface • Independently audited • Only requires an email address
Not the cheapest once you pay for it
If you just need a short term VPN solution, TunnelBear is perfect. It keeps very little information and it's super simple to use.
4. TunnelBear
Good to know: AES-256 encryption, independently audited security, servers across 22 countries, free to use
Price: Free to $9.99 per month depending on the plan chosen
TunnelBear isn't like other VPN clients. Skipping a professional sterile app, it offers animations of cute bears tunneling across the world to indicate which server you've connected to. It's one of the simplest VPN clients out there, and it's also highly secure.
For the free client, you only need to hand over your email address and nothing more. TunnelBear is independently audited so you're safe in the knowledge that its no-logs policy actually means no logs are kept. You can always use a throwaway email account too if that makes you feel more secure.
Despite its cute exterior, TunnelBear is still pretty smart underneath the surface. It has AES-256 encryption and is reasonably speedy depending on what you're doing. You can use it effectively for torrenting although expect mixed results when accessing Netflix.
Of course, the price is the big selling point for TunnelBear. If you only need a VPN for occasional use, you can subscribe for free gaining 500mb of data a month. That price increases to $9.99 month by month, or the equivalent of $4.99 per month if you pay for a year at the time, which makes it slightly less good value for money. The paid plans offer unlimited data along with up to five devices connected at any one time.
Best no log VPN for limited information gathering
Image: ProtonVPN
Based in Switzerland • Tor over VPN feature • Highly anonymous
Not as fast as alternatives • Limited server options
Keen on providing limited information to a VPN provider? ProtonVPN is the best choice for you.
5. ProtonVPN
ProtonVPN is possibly as close to log-free as you can get, and it's a reliable service too.
Good to know: AES-256 encryption, highly anonymous, up to 5 devices can connect at once, 474 servers across 36 countries
Price: A free plan is available, otherwise between $4 and $8 per month depending on the length of the plan
Based in Switzerland, ProtonVPN is off to a great start when it comes to privacy. Switzerland is outside of both US and EU legislation as well as removed from the 5/8/14-Eyes Alliance. ProtonVPN is also owned by the same company as anonymous email provider ProtonMail, so it has the pedigree for keeping things secure.
In the case of ProtonVPN, the only information that's stored is your login timestamp, which is overwritten every time you make a new login attempt. That's reassuring news for anyone worried about being traced.
Elsewhere, ProtonVPN is a dependable VPN even if it's not quite as fast as other names given its fewer number of servers. There's still room for typical features, such as AES-256 encryption, an automatic kill-switch, and DNS leak protection. There's also a Tor over VPN feature whereby you can route all your traffic through the Tor anonymity network and also access dark websites.
The price of ProtonVPN depends on the services you require. There's a free service that provides slower speeds and no torrenting support. Alternatively, for $4 a month, you can enjoy higher speeds, two devices connected simultaneously, and torrenting support. The full service, which includes Tor servers and streaming, costs $8 per month.
Best no log VPN for staying hidden
Image: VyprVPN
Chameleon technology for added privacy • Great at bypassing geolocks • Speedy
Not the cheapest for full features • No free trial
Want to keep entirely hidden from your ISP? VyprVPN is the route to take.
6. VyprVPN
VyprVPN uses special Chameleon technology for extra security when browsing, plus it offers everything else you could possibly need.
Good to know: Chameleon technology, 700+ servers around the world, AES-256 encryption, 5 devices connected at same time
Price: Between $3.75 per month and $5.00 per month depending on plan chosen
VyprVPN offers a standard bunch of no-log features. It promises to never log any of your data while you use it, and won't retain your personal details longer than necessary once you leave the service. Where VyprVPN differs from the rest is its Chameleon protocol technology. This means that your ISP won't even know you're using a VPN. While other services can suggest the use of a VPN while garbling what ISPs can see, VyprVPN hides even that.
That makes it perfect for bypassing geolocks such as in countries where censorship regulation is very strict. It's also useful when using streaming services such as Netflix and wanting to use a different country's Netflix store. VyprVPN is based in Switzerland so you're also safe in the knowledge that it avoids major privacy law concerns.
Elsewhere, there's an automatic kill-switch, DNS protection, and the promise of high speed connections. In reality, that tends to be the case too with torrenting also supported here.
Prices start at $3.75 per month but that doesn't include the Chameleon protocol so upgrade to that for $5 per month billed yearly.
Best no log VPN with extra features
Image: Windscribe
Unlimited devices • Transparent audit • Fast speeds
Limited subscription options
Windscribe offers a transparency report to highlight its privacy conscious nature, and has many extra features, like a way to spoof your GPS location.
7. Windscribe
With plenty of features and extensive transparency reports highlighting privacy, Windscribe is an understandably attractive option.
Good to know: AES-128 encryption, ervers in over 60 countries and 110 cities, split tunneling, minimalist app
Price: Between $4.08 per month and $9 per month depending on the length of the plan.
Based in Canada, which is part of the Five Eyes surveillance agreement, Windscribe might seem like a worrying option for a no-logs based VPN, but it's actually very secure. Windscribe explains in its privacy policy that there is no logging of usage, IPs, historical session logs, or records of incoming or outgoing IP addresses, or your individual activity. This is backed up by a transparency report which explains that no law enforcement or DMCA requests have been complied with due to Windscribe simply not having the data expected of it.
Besides being reassuring on that front, Windscribe is also a good VPN service in other ways. It offers support for an unlimited number of devices, static IPs, port forwarding, as well as split tunneling functionality.
You can also use it to form a double hop, further hiding your steps online, as well as use Location Warp to spoof your GPS location via a proxy. Ad blocking is also available through the Windscribe app. Many of these features might not be essential for all but they're nice extras to have on top of an already sturdy service.

This relentless heat wave or "summer," is too much to bear. Am refusing to go anywhere without guaranteed shade or preferably before nightfall. Went to put the recycling out and the concrete was so hot I retreated, cowering from the sun like Brad Pitt in Interview with a Vampire. Clothes proving very challenging. I am not someone who stays on top of hair removal at the best of times and so the maxi dress has become a dear friend. Managed to find a cheesecloth dress from Zara which feels breezy. I look like a yogurt maker but at least I'm cool. Went back to Slimming World after another two weeks off and a lot of chips. And cider. And 386 mini Magnums. Put on two and a half pounds which is fair enough but also wondered if inevitable swelling from the heat could be blamed for weight gain.
Owing to some miscommunication, British Gas seem to think I'm partially sighted. This means every letter they send me is on A4 paper with a font size of 25. My latest bill was like a novel. Have been thinking of moving to someone more renewable anyway, perhaps it's a sign to move on. Made a big decision: going to give up snoozing. As someone who is VERY good at staying in bed this won't be easy but I worked out if I got up an hour earlier every day that would be 5 hours more of my life every week, so going to do. Obviously weekends are not included in this because I'm not mad. Am also allowing for more naps.
Got up at 7:30AM. No snoozing, just did it. It's now 11:30 AM and wondering if it's too early for a nap. High drama at June's yesterday where she rescued a duckling from a hedge. She tempted it out by quacking at it. It followed her voice and came on to the lawn so she could throw a jumper over it and take it down to the pond. Sent me a voice note on whatsapp to demonstrate the quacking. Was surprisingly convincing. Until recently felt like Jeremy Corbyn and I were the only two not watching Love Island. Well sorry Jez I'm IN. Keep thinking what they might be up to a lot. Dreamt last night I made a spag bol with Dani and Laura. Woke up feeling disappointed they aren't my friends and desperate for spag bol.
Went down to one of my favourite places on earth, Margate, to do a vow renewal for two gorgeous brides. Made the terrible error of travelling there in spanx and nearly cut my circulation off. Nipped into a cafe to use the bathroom and take the damn thing off. Was wearing a jumpsuit so at one point was stood there in the loo, wearing just my bra. It was the happiest I'd been all day. Got changed at the photographer, Jo's flat. Unfortunately everyone else had gone on ahead to take photos before the ceremony so there was no one to ask to do my dress up. Ventured out to find someone on the street to do it up for me. Am amazed it doesn't happen more, people out on the street asking strangers to do them up at the back. How are people doing their own dresses up so well?
Got up this morning went for a run. A RUN. For the first time this year and the 8th time in my life. It was as a direct result of not snoozing so it's all been worth it. Decided to have a most of a bottle of red wine tonight to celebrate. My hands keep swelling up in the heat. It happened in Co-op. Was reaching out to choose feta or halloumi (or both) and noticed my hand all hot and red and swollen. Like a butcher. Had to take off my engagement ring and sat watching Love Island holding them above my head for relief. Roll on Autumn.


What is multi-criteria decision analysis?
What is The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)?
What is The Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique (SMART)?
When is it best to use AHP or SMART?
Where can I read about AHP or SMART?
A multi-criteria decision problem generally involves choosing one of a number alternatives based on how well those alternatives rate against a chosen set of criteria. The criteria themselves are weighted in terms of importance to the decision maker, and the overall "score" of an alternative is the weighted sum of its rating against each criteria. The ordering of the alternatives by their decision scores is taken to be their ranking by preference.
The Analytic Hierarchy Process allows users to assess the relative weight of multiple criteria (or multiple alternatives against a given criterion) in an intuitive manner. Its major innovation was the introduction of pairwise comparisons. Pairwise comparisons is a metod that is informed by research showing that when quantitative ratings are unavailable, humans are still adept at recognizing whether one criteria is mor important than another. Dr. Thomas Saaty, the inventor of the AHP methodology, established a consistent way of converting such "pairwise" comparisons (X is more important than Y) into a set of numbers representing the relative priority of each of the criteria.
A potential drawback with the AHP method is "Rank Reversal". Because judgments in AHP are relative by nature, changing the set of alternatives may change the decision scores of all the alternatives. It was shown that even if a new, very poor alternative is added to a completed model, the alternatives with top scores sometimes reverse their relative ranking.
In the Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique, ratings of alternatives are assigned directly, in the natural scales of the criteria (where available). For instance, when assessing the criterion "top speed" for motor cars, a natural scale would be a range of 100 to 200 miles per hour. In order to keep the weighting of criteria and rating of alternatives as separate as possible, the different scales of criteria need to be converted to a common internal scale. In AHP this is taken care of by the relative nature of the rating technique. In SMART, this is done mathematically by the decision maker by means of a "Value Function".
The simplest choice of a value function is a linear function, and in most cases this is sufficient. However, to better capture human psychology in decision making, it is often advantageous to use non-linear functions. Utility Theory offers a deep and complex literature for choosing value functions.
The Advantage of SMART: The decision model is independent of the alternatives. While the introduction of value functions somewhat complexifies the decision modeling process, the advantage is that the ratings of alternatives are not relative, so that changing the number of alternatives considered will not in itself change the decision scores of the original alternatives.
The simplicity of model building in AHP suggests its use where possible. If it is unlikely that new alternatives will need to be introduced beyond the set under consideration then rank reversal will not be such a problem.
If new alternatives are likely to be added to the model after its initial construction, and the alternatives are amenable to a direct rating approach (not so qualitative as to require pairwise comparison), then SMART would be a good choice.
