And the hits just keep on coming with no sign or sight off traction or a bull to be found in Class III, cheese or dry whey futures as bearishness continues to reign supreme. In a rare session in which cheese futures volume exceeded that of class III and saw cheese futures OI greatly near that of class III, yesterday was a rinse repeat of the action we've seen over the past couple months as contracts slid back to the bottom of the range and are threatening another leg lower if spot prices don't hold in the $1.40's. Two things that should remain in focus are: 1) the USD and 2) the futures forward curve. Let me explain. First, the greenback has been the currency of choice for the past few months and its strength is having negative impacts on U.S. exports. This has had an impact on the commodity space at large as fund managers bail on the sector, led by pressure on the crude oil market. That said, there's likely to be a glut of product/milk out there in the coming months and domestic demand will be put to the test and do the heavy lifting. In this case, the heavy lifting may be exactly that—heavy, after 9 months of more than expected support. This leads to point #2—the forward curve. There's been a lot of chatter out there regarding a "recovery" in the second half and even more rationalization behind its potential. The futures forward curve is pointing to this exactly, with a sharp $2.20 plus cent difference between Q1 and Q4 in Class III. It's not that the forward curve or anyone else thinking in terms of recovery is wrong because they're not—so long as the curve stays intact. The problem is that when too many people start believing in the same thing at the same time, one side of the boat gets heavy and the herd eventually—well, you know. In my humble opinion, these two dynamics trump the rest of the fundamentals at hand and until a game changer comes along, this will likely be the driving forces in 2016.
Class IV saw decent action yesterday on the heels of diverging component pricing which saw butter hold relatively steady while putting the NFDM market back in the spotlight. NFDM sellers were out early and often so to speak, after the conclusion of the GDT auction, driving the bulk of 2016 sharply into the red as the trade shrugged off the 1.9% overall higher GDT result and let it slip quietly into the history books (see breakout below for detailed results). What can be said other than futures are now back at the low edge of the range where either another leg lower is in the offing, or spot and futures prices find traction and aim for recovery. The former is the most likely scenario to play out here as the bear is has yet to relinquish his grip with the Japanese tender early in the week seeing SMP prices delivered at ~77 cents- that's a spicy meatball. But we can't negate the possibility of the outside chance we're on the cusp of a bounce. It goes contrary to the fundamentals at hand, but taking a look at the chart below there is a weak double bottom that has potential which coincides with the 30-45 day period of NZ weather sensitivity we are currently in- watch out for potential surprise weather announcements in late January around the IDFA conference as we've seen in the past which could spur buyer fear or greed to an extreme.
CWAP out at 6.65 higher to .7985 on a 48.8% increase of sales volume week over week. If futures can find a bid today that leads to further upside for the balance of the week, it could unfold into a larger short covering wave. The market would need to muscle through initial technical resistance at the 10 and 20 day moving averages (yellow and blue lines, respectively below) in order to challenge the 50 day near the 1.00 mark (see chart below). On the other hand, if weakness persists as we suspect, look for fresh lows and possibly a significant washout of deferred premium to ensue.
Grain markets continue on in search of a story that at present does not exist. The elusiveness of such a story will likely keep prices range bound, as sell side interest will likely not be bold enough to press the issue too much further to the downside just based on the law of diminishing returns. On the contrary, lack of farmer selling in an effort to spark a bid has largely come up short, as rally attempts have been blunted. In a nutshell, that pretty much sums it up. What's needed is a weather issue and until one materializes, it'll be a "wax-on—wax-off" market. Below is a summation of the latest NOPA crush tallies which missed even the lowest expectations by a good margin and contributed to some of the pressure seen yesterday in the bean market.


Mark Kelly, the husband of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., is threatening to support a challenger against Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., if he votes against a bill to increase background checks for gun buyers.
If Flake doesn't support the bill and the "right candidate" is running, Kelly will back him, he said at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast Tuesday, The Hill reports. Flake said in a statement on his Facebook page that he will oppose the legislation.
The senator, who doesn't face re-election until 2018, has become good friends with Kelly and Giffords, who was shot in the head during a Tucson, Ariz. constituent meeting in early 2011. But gun control comes before friendship for Kelly.
"You know, friendship is one thing," he said. "Saving people's lives, especially first graders, is another thing." To be sure, "I think we can get him [Flake] to come around," Kelly said.
But if congressmen "won't stand up and do what the American people are asking, we will be there to replace them," he said, according to reports.
Giffords retired from Congress last year, and since then she and Kelly have acted as formidable proponents of stricter gun control. They founded a political action committee, Americans for Responsible Solutions, to support legislators who favor gun control and to fight back against the National Rifle Association.

Application deadline is December 1, 2020
BUFFALO, Minn. – The Minnesota Turkey Growers Association has been working for months with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) to secure financial assistance to Minnesota turkey farmers impacted by the COVID pandemic. This week, MDA unveiled the Turkey Market Loss Cost-Share Program to help turkey farmers and the industry weather what has been a challenging time for farm families.
"As a third-generation turkey farmer, you think you have seen it all. However, COVID has put a strain on farmers that no one could have prepared for and we are grateful for this aid," said Paul Kvistad, Minnesota Turkey Growers Association President and farmer from Wood Lake.
MDA's Turkey Market Loss Cost-Share Program provides financial assistance to farmers who marketed fewer liveweight pounds during March – September 2020 due to COVID-19. To mitigate losses during the pandemic, the industry pivoted quickly and utilized several different options. These decisions meant farmers saw a loss in production – putting a squeeze on farm families.
"While our farmers live with risk every day and roll with the punches, this aid from Governor Tim Walz and Ag Commissioner Thom Petersen is the shot in the arm we needed heading into our most important season – Thanksgiving," said Sarah Anderson, Executive Director of the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association.
Turkey farmers uncertain of whether they qualify for funds should first review the application on the MDA website at: https://www.mda.state.mn.us/turkey-market-loss-cost-share. Questions about securing the necessary liveweight pounds statement from the Minnesota Turkey Research and Promotion Council should be directed to info@minnesotaturkey.com or call 763-682-2171.
All applications must be received by December 1, 2020 at 4:00 p.m.
Funding for the cost-share program was made possible by the federal CARES Act provided to Minnesota by Congress and distributed by Governor Tim Walz.
The Minnesota Turkey Growers Association (MTGA) is a trade group representing over 450 turkey farmers across the state. Many of our farmers come from multi-generational family farms. Our organization also represents turkey processors and industry stakeholders. Together, we advocate for the interests of the Minnesota turkey farmer and industry as a whole.

All Star Comics was a US comic book from the 1940s. It was published by All-American Publications, one of the companies that later merged with National Periodical Publications – today known as DC. Except for the first two issues, this series mainly told stories about the adventures of the JSA, the Justice Society of America. This series is noteworthy both for the introduction of Wonder Woman, as well as the introduction of the Justice Society of America... the first superhero team the world saw. Some of the villains of this series included Great Beasts, Master of the World, the Plodex, and Deadly Ernest.

Looking at the Eastern Conference standings, there is few legit NBA Finals contenders. But there is some teams that could challenge the repeat Eastern Conference champion Cleveland Cavaliers. LeBron James has been dominating the East for as long as most can remember. With the shift in power slowly rolling to the East in the NBA, I will look to list the Contenders, Middle of the Pack, and Pretenders. Bare in mind that only teams with at least a 40% win percentage will be featured.
There's no question about it that the Cleveland Cavaliers are the only real contender make the NBA Finals. But these teams are true contenders to challenge Cleveland and make it tough. LeBron James could possibly even make the NBA Finals without Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. Meanwhile the Boston Celtics have the best chance to defeat the reigning champs. Isaiah Thomas has been stellar this year and acquiring Al Horford in the offseason puts them in high contention.
The Washington Wizards have been overwhelmingly great this season to some surprise. John Wall and Bradley Beal have been at the top at their game with the help of new coach Scott Brooks. If their one-two punch continues to perform, they could put real pressure on Boston and Cleveland. Lastly, the Raptors aren't where they want to be but are still a legit team. Adding Serge Ibaka at the trade deadline will help ease the load on DeMar DeRozan's shoulders. An injury to Kyle Lowry could hinder their record but he should be back within a couple weeks and make the Raptors real contenders.
The Indiana Pacers are a team on the brink of contention but are missing a key piece. Somewhere on their team is a missing link whether that be another star on a mix-up on the roster. If the "Big 3" of Paul George, Jeff Teague, and Myles Turner can develop consistency in their play, watch out for this team in the playoffs. On the other hand, the Atlanta Hawks are a team of uncertainty still. They traded away Kyle Korver but are still in a decent place in the standings. Where they lack is legit All-Star quality players to pair with Paul Millsap. In order for them to become a contender, this offseason they will have to make a splash move or begin the rebuild.
Head coach Jason Kidd is leading the Milwaukee Bucks in the right direction but injuries are killing this team. They have a good mix of youth and talent but now Jabari Parker is out for the season so their contender hopes are finished. Khris Middleton was also hurt for most of the season but is back now even though it's too late. If Parker can stay healthy and they add a starting big man, this team will contend next season. And last but not least the Miami Heat have been one of those shock East teams making progress. After losing Dwyane Wade to the Bulls, you would think they would fall off but Dion Waiters has stepped up big. With Hassan Whiteside playing well, if they resign Dion Waiters and add one more piece they have what it takes to compete with the best.
If you watch the Detroit Pistons, you can't help but wonder whats wrong with this team. Looking at their roster, they have pieces at each positions that are compliment each other. But unlike most of these teams, their roster is complete but they have chemistry issues. Reggie Jackson and Andre Drummond need to play at All-Stat levels next season in order for them to make real impact. Now the Chicago Bulls have been the most intriguing team in the East. Signing Dwyane Wade in the offseason meant they were looking to make a run at the NBA Finals. Pairing Wade with Rajon Rondo and Jimmy Butler made some people question the GM due to their similar playing styles. In order for the Bulls to return to glory, they need to add shooters to create more space on the floor. And lastly the Charlotte Hornets have been the most disappointing team in the East. Kemba Walker has been playing well but other than him, no one has stepped up. The Hornets need to add a big man that can score easy points in the paint to pair with Frank Kaminsky.
Very few pundits are willing to go out on a limb and say a team other than the Cleveland Cavaliers will win the East. And I won't either due to one player- LeBron James. It's difficult to bet against a player who has been to the NBA Finals six straight years and counting. Sure Boston and Washington have tough quality teams but in order to beat Cleveland you need what they don't have. A superstar or top-5 player that can takeover a game when LeBron starts to. All the contender listed teams have the role players and bench depth but are missing THAT guy. Until we see it happen, it looks like the Eastern Conference will belong to LeBron and the Cavaliers once again.

Peculiar planetary system architecture around three Orion stars explained
Washington, DC— The discovery that our galaxy is teeming with exoplanets has also revealed the vast diversity of planetary systems out there and raised questions about the processes that shaped them. New work published in Science by an international team including Carnegie's Jaehan Bae could explain the architecture of multi-star systems in which planets are separated by wide gaps and do not orbit on the same plane as their host star's equatorial center.
"In our Solar System, the eight planets and many other minor objects orbit in a flat plane around the Sun; but in some distant systems, planets orbit on an incline—sometimes a very steep one," Bae explained. "Understanding the origins of extremely oblique orbital angles such as these could help reveal details about the planetary formation process."
Stars are born in nurseries of gas and dust called molecular clouds—often forming in small groups of two or three. These young stars are surrounded by rotating disks of leftover material, which accretes to form baby planets. The disk's structure will determine the distribution of the planets that form from it, but much about this process remains unknown.
Led by University of Exeter's Stefan Kraus, the team found the first direct evidence confirming the theoretical prediction that gravitational interactions between the members of multi-star systems can warp or break their disks, resulting in misaligned rings surrounding the stellar hosts.
Over a period of 11 years, the researchers made observations of the the GW Orionis triple-star system, located just over 1,300 light-years away in the Orion constellation. Their work was accomplished using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array—a radio telescope made up of 66 antennas.
"Our images reveal an extreme case where the disk is not flat at all, but is warped and has a misaligned ring that has broken away from the disk," Kraus said.
Their findings were tested by simulations, which demonstrated that the observed disorder in the orbits of the three stars could have caused the disk to fracture into the distinct rings.
"We predict that many planets on oblique, wide-separation orbits will be discovered in future planet imaging campaigns," said co-author Alexander Kreplin, also of the University of Exeter.
Bae concluded: "This system is a great example of how theory and observing can inform each other. I'm excited to see what we learn about this system and others like it with additional study."
Support for this research was provided by the European Research Council under the European Commission's Horizon 2020 program Seventh Framework program; the Science Technology and Facilities Council; the U.S. NSF; NASA; the research council of the KU Leuven; and the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy.


The Product Sales Report Pro plugin helps WooCommerce managers gain deep insights into the performance of their WooCommerce stores. With Product Sales Report Pro, webmasters can quickly and easily generate reports on the quantity and amount of sales of individual WooCommerce products sold over a specified date range.
The exported data will offer an overview of the sales performance of individual WooCommerce products, helping brands refine their online sales strategies. Product Sales Report Pro can export data into a range of formats (XLSX, XLS, HTML, or CSV) for further analysis in compatible software.
Similar to Export Items Order Pro, the Product Sales Report Pro plugin offers an overview of product sales and is designed to report on product sales totals, whereas the Export Items Order Pro plugin provides granular details relating to individual orders and customer information.
Product Sales Report Pro plugin sports a simple interface that integrates seamlessly with the WordPress aesthetic. After installing and activating the plugin, Product Sales Report Pro creates its own menu item in the WordPress dashboard.
Powerful and robust, Product Sales Report Pro is both quick and easy to use. The plugin is comprised of a series of tabs for the settings pages, allowing for different types of filtering, giving the user the ability to set various reporting parameters for the generated report.
To create a report based on order related variables, use the Order Filtering tab. Here, reports can be generated either by using predefined order dates or by setting a specific order date range of custom dates. Reports can also be defined in relation to the order status, for example, a completed order, an order in processing, an order on hold and so on. Next, reports can be filtered down in a number of ways, such as by using specific fields from the internal WooCommerce database. With this degree of order filtering, reports can be engineered to display data relating to only one customer email address, a specific payment method, or similar.
The Product Filtering settings tab allows users to create reports based on the product details themselves, setting variables such as Categories, Tags or Product IDs or fields for the reports.
An incredibly handy feature for some users, the Grouping and Sorting settings tab allows the user to get more granular with the sales report data.
The Sort By feature simply lets the user select the field that they're wanting to sort the report by and the order that it'll display in.
The Group By feature allows users to segment the product sales reports by another level, bringing an additional reporting field into the mix. By default, the user will only be able to generate total values on a per product or product variation basis, however, with the Group By feature, they're able to further segment by a variable from the orders of that product, for example, the payment method.
For example, with this configuration the report will display each product listed in terms of total sales for each payment method, generating a report that can state data along the lines of "Product Name and Stripe sold x amount and Product Name and PayPal sold y amount". The Group By feature can be set to segment reports by a number of other fields, such as billing email address, for example.
Both the Group By and Sort By features allow users to generate more customized reports; however, for more extensive reporting of order-specific data in a similar fashion, it is recommended to purchase Export Order Items Pro or try the free version of that plugin.
The Report Fields tab allows the user to decide which fields they would like to display on the report. There are plenty of reporting field options to select from, including a number of default, built in fields, as well as ones that can be pulled in from WooCommerce that are stored in the product or product variation. It is even possible to pull in total values from certain order item meta fields.
The reporting fields can be added, renamed, deleted, rearranged and totaled up should you wish to include total data values related to specific numeric field.
The Display and Format settings tab allows users to better format their report by including additional information. Here, users can choose to include a report title, include a header row, include a totals row and decide whether certain numeric values will be rounded off to two decimal points. Users can also decide which format the report will be exported into: XLSX, XLS, HTML, HTML Enhanced, or CSV.
The Advanced settings tab includes a number of features for advanced use cases such as setting a server time limit for report generation, putting the plugin into debugging mode, adding CSS for styling the HTML report, and more.
Finally, the Presets settings tab lets users create presets for their report parameters. Presets let users save the reports' settings so that they don't have to be set up each time. Here the user can simply return to the preset each time and quickly create a report.
Please note:The screenshots are from version 2.1.7 of Product Sales Report Pro for WooCommerce. For the latest feature list update of version 1.0.1 please refer to this blog post..

What is Servant Leadership? Many have pondered this question regarding the concept of servant leadership. But… Jesus taught and practiced the concept of servant leadership more than two thousand years ago. He taught his disciples the principle of servant leadership: Jesus said, 'You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant' (NIV Bible, Mark 10:43). Jesus taught that a leaders greatness is measured by a total commitment to serve fellow human beings. The question is -Are you a servant leader? Follow in the footsteps of Christ!

Waves of Beautiful Native Plants at Butterfly Bend
Seasonal Sightings
Wisconsin Nature
Birds of Wisconsin
Nature Poetry
By Ed Makowski, Communications Specialist
At the corner of Lake Drive and Brown Deer Road, Center staff and volunteers have begun planting a new haven of native plants surrounding our sign. Butterfly Bend will welcome birds, bees, butterflies and other insects, and people arriving at the Center or driving by. Volunteer John Pearce remarked, "We're using visual honey to attract lots of audiences: butterflies, bees, birds – and the human variety too!"
Oasis for Native Plants, Animals, Insects
Butterfly Bend takes artistic inspiration from what might be an unexpected source. The undulating flow of grasses, sedges, and forbs are inspired by currents in Lake Michigan. Different plants have different needs, including moisture, sunlight, soil type, and which plants are near them. The lower portion of the area holds a greater portion of moisture, and as such those plants are different than the plants closer to the road. Altogether, 10 plant communities are represented in Butterfly Bend.
Once complete, more than 4,500 plants will have gone in to Butterfly Bend. 60 species will be sown inside the parcel, including 12 grasses and sedges and 48 forbs. A 2-to-1 ratio of grasses and sedges to forbs is being utilized in the planting. Sedges and grasses help provide shade, protection, and root competition for the forbs that provide the islands of color planted within the green waves.
To prevent the introduction of invasive species, the Center uses an engineered soil, which consists of 70% sand and 30% compost. This soil is "clean" meaning it will not contain any external seeds. This blend of soil is extremely easy for securing roots and also drains better than our clay-oriented soils. The plants will take up to three years to entirely establish their roots and then blossom with spectacular colors. "This planting reflects the diversity we're aiming to achieve at the Center," said Center Director of Conservation Marc White.
A Volunteer-Driven Effort
Betsy Vokac, John Pearce, and Jane Shero created the plan for Butterfly Bend.
"It's because of every person who volunteers at the Center that we're able to accomplish this important work to support native flora and fauna," said Marc White. Working with our Conservation staff, Butterfly Bend was thoughtfully designed by three of our experienced land stewardship volunteers: Jane Shero, John Pearce, and Betsy Vokac. Each of these volunteers has extensive experience gardening with native plants. In August 2017, Marc asked them to come up with a design for the location. "At first it was a little daunting to imagine," said Jane Shero. "We were wading around in hip-high grass, trying to figure out which plants should go where."
The requirements for Butterfly Bend were that it had to have all native plants, look natural in appearance, and be so visually stunning that the 2 million annual drivers who pass the corner would take note. When considering their design of the area, Betsy Vokac said, "Let's plant something that gets people to look and say, 'Wow, what's going on there?" We look forward to many years of motorists and cyclists admiring the blossoms at Butterfly Bend, and stopping in to learn what's going on at Schlitz Audubon.
Help us create habitat for butterflies, bees, and birds.

The Kunsthalle's department of prints and drawings owns four of the six drawings by Leonardo da Vinci held in Germany. On occasion of this year's 500th anniversary of his death, the Kunsthalle is presenting the four fascinating sheets created by the universal genius, together with other works.
The drawings belong to the property of the art dealer Georg Ernst Harzen (1790-1863). By his will, his collection went to the newly opened Kunsthalle in 1869.
The presentation takes place in the context of the 150th anniversary of the Hamburger Kunsthalle.

I especially like the mention of the Clarence Thomas coke can incident.

@Justin it might be a little fuzzy in the screen caps, but Jimmy is definitely playing Billy Bon Thornton (goatee), and Kattan is her brother (blonde hair). Of course that isnt all on Chris, but yeah, Im going to go ahead and give him credit for opening the door.
Great premise of embarrassing events in American history being celebrated in commemorative plates.

A consistently good episode, containing nothing that I disliked (aside from some Colin Quinn portions of Weekend Update). [citation needed] Prior to her death, Whitney Houston was approached as a potential replacement judge.
Its also going to be interesting seeing how better Britney was treated a celebrity when she hosted SNL. Long time reader, first time writer.
Her childhood experience in The Mickey Mouse Club probably helped her work well in SNL sketches, as it would her fellow Mouseketeer-turned-pop-singers who would later do an impressive job hosting SNL: Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera. This AGD instalment adapts Ace and Garys appearance in the December 1999 Playboy, as later featured in a 32-page promotional item with an Alex Ross cover ( https://www.jjsedelmaier.com/print-selfpromocomic ).

Kyle Demarco / Chris Kattan Id argue he became the most valuable in the cast after Ferrell pretty quickly, one of the reasons his firing after the following season was still one of the biggest shock departures (before they ended up bringing him back) in my years of watching SNL.

Im mostly looking forward to seeing the holiday-themed sketch Ana said was her biggest bomb on the show. Probably the best example of the most unexpected talent from an SNL cast member.

Q: Best partition scheme on 128GB SSD and 200GB HDD? first here are my PC specs: 2x128GB SSD 1x 1TB HDD and 16GB RAM
I have already installed Windows 7 on one of my SSD's.
I did a partition on the 1TB HDD with Windows disk management. So Windows got 800GB of space and Ubuntu will use 200GB, when it is installed.
Now I want to install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my other SSD. My question is, what is the best partition scheme?
/ will obviously go on the SSD, but what about /home - HDD or SSD? My thought was, that / and /home go on the SSD, because with 128GB I have plenty of space. And /media or /mnt will go on the HDD. Is that good?
I also make a 8GB swap partition on the HDD (0.5 * 16GB RAM = 8GB).
And if I would want to do an upgrade when Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is released in two months, do I have to do a clean install? (Is 16.04 LTS worth it, when I have already 14.04 LTS on my PC?)

Pangu team: Mac version of the iOS 8 jailbreak due in a couple of days
Jeff Benjamin on November 5, 2014
Good news for Mac users who have been unable to jailbreak due to the lack of a native Mac jailbreak tool for iOS 8.x: The Pangu team has heard your cries, and is gearing up for an OS X release.
In a Twitter post just a few minutes ago, the PanguTeam Twitter account acknowledged the release of Cydia 1.1.16, and followed that acknowledgement up with some insight on the status of the Mac jailbreak. Have a look at the details inside…
Also we are already working on Mac version. It may come out in couple of days. Pls wait a bit more time.
— PanguTeam (@PanguTeam) November 6, 2014
The team states that they are already working on a Mac version of their popular tool, and that a release is very close, perhaps only two days away. It's bittersweet news in light of the recent iOS 8.1.1 beta release. As we reported, iOS 8.1.1 kills the iOS 8 jailbreak, and it's only a matter of time before Apple releases the iOS 8.1.1 firmware and stops signing iOS 8.1.
Lets hope that Pangu can make good on their release window, and that plenty of Mac users who have thus far been unable to jailbreak are able to do so. Again, if you've yet to update to iOS 8.1, now is the time to do so to ensure that you'll be able to jailbreak when the time comes.
Are you happy that a Mac version of Pangu8 is imminent?
How to jailbreak iOS 8.1 with Pangu for Mac [video]
Pangu for Mac jailbreak for iOS 8 now available
You should update to iOS 8.1 now if you're at all interested in jailbreaking


The purpose of this study was to investigate the longitudinal effect of marijuana and heavy alcohol use on the productivity status of nonmetropolitan African American young adults. This analysis was based on secondary data from the Family and Community Health Study. For alcohol, the study evaluated the effects on productivity status for individuals with heavy alcohol use trajectories from adolescence into young adulthood while marijuana effects were evaluated during the period when adolescents are more likely to have initiated usage (14-16 years of age). Productivity status was measured when study participants were between 18 and 21 years, for both alcohol and marijuana. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to test the association between subjects' drug use and productivity. Bivariate analysis of the effects of marijuana use indicate that marijuana users by age 16 are 35% less likely to be productive at age 21 than those who have not initiated marijuana use (p?<?0.005). After controlling for individual, community, and family factors, the multivariate logistic models for alcohol and marijuana use suggest that early adolescence drug use (marijuana and heavy alcohol use) do not have an impact on productivity status during early adulthood. Analyzing and understanding the different drug use trajectories in relation to a productivity outcome is important for policies and research geared to preventing drug use and in identifying its relation with micro- and macro-level labor market outcomes.

EMBODIED COMPOSITION
Treatment and meaning of physical object in experimental music and sound art
book, audio CD, booklet (2011)
Master thesis
design by Danny Jian Li
PHYSICAL OBJECT An object which exists throughout a particular trajectory in space over a particular duration of time.
When we speak of corporeal, physical and tangible in relation to music, we refer to something which belongs outside of the musical realm, which is extraneous and opposed to it. For centuries, the main focus of music was pointed towards the sound and all the immaterial constructions which emerge from it - musical form and structure for example, acoustic properties, aesthetic qualities, meaning, etc. On the other hand, aiming for physicality in music appeared most noticeably at the beginning of the XX century, when the problematics of musical medium arose and new means of expression were utilized through appearance of physical objects in music, other than the existing tools of expression such as orchestral instruments and human voice. These objects were brought into musical context from a different one, and their musical function was temporary, unless they would acquire the status of instrument through establishing new and consistent performance practice known to both performer and composer.
The same way noise has entered music as non-musical sound and introduced the idea that every sound and silence too, can become musical, objects have erased the thick line between musical and non-musical object with the same intention to prove that any object can become musical too. Objects started to be used for preparation of instruments, as a playing tool, and the sound of the objects from our surrounding, became inspiration for many artists. With possibility of amplification of these sounds, a whole new field of works emerged, and the awareness of listening possibilities grew.
John Cage who dedicated most of his work to exploration of the extremely non-musical field and the acceptance of its musicality, said about this:
"I never stopped touching things, making them sound and resound, to discover what sounds they could produce. Wherever I went, I always listened to objects."
Many artists nowadays use objects to play with them in live performance, others sample their sounds and use them in recordings, and some build their own objects which can perform various musical functions in the performance or exhibition context. Today, there exist much more musical objects than definitions and names we can give to them.
There is no common practice of how an everyday object can be made into musical one, but there are certainly some methods which appear to be dominant in the practice of experimental musicians and sound artists, and based on them, I have named the following categories of musical objects: Found object, cracked object, symbolic object, sculpture, toy. I've grouped musical objects according to their dominant characteristic that manifests itself in the production of musical meaning. In some cases, it is the origin of an object which is the most relevant, in others it is the transformation which object undertakes to become musical, and some categories tell about the ways musicality of object has been utilized for the artistic purposes. Each category also provides us with information about the degree of musical and non-musical function of an object, telling us how autonomous a musical object is.
Making this classification, my goal was to enhance the understanding of prevailing methods of object's manipulation which through extensive and repetitive use in the field of experimental music and sound art can lead to development of certain artistic practices. I was also driven to think about this topic because I found extraordinary the fact that something as abstract and complex as music can be brought into relation with something of absolutely opposite kind such as physical object. I believe that encounter of music with corporeality of things is a reflection of our own personal struggle with comprehension of musical abstractness. It is a way of giving a body to music, a shell which holds the immaterial content of musical thought, and puts it back into the material world where it actually came from. By embodying music into physical form we can make it responsive to our physical existence, and establish a physical interdependence.

"With no previous experience, my friend and I completed my bathroom refurbishment using your panelling. We both agreed it was brilliant to work with, so easy to cut using a standard wood jigsaw.
