EndoGastric Solutions, Inc. (EGS), a company out of San Mateo, CA, has been on our radar since 2007, when it developed the EsophyX device, the first of a kind transoral fundoplication technology for patients with long term GERD. We caught up with Mr. Skip Baldino, President & Chief Executive Officer of the company to check on the latest.
Gene Ostrovsky, Medgadget: The latest prospective 2-year outcome data of transoral incisionless fundoplications (TIF) in 127 patients demonstrate stable positive results (see Am Surg. 2014 Nov;80(11):1093-105). Tell me more about the data collected so far to support EndoGastric Solutions' transoral incisionless fundoplication procedure (TIF) for acid reflux. What have been the most notable outcomes?
Skip Baldino: As a company, we've had over 50 published peer-reviewed studies of the TIF procedure — EGS' transoral endoscopic procedure for GERD– in medical journals and more have been presented at top medical meetings for surgeons and gastroenterologists. We're especially pleased with the six-month results of the first-ever sham and placebo-controlled study of the TIF procedure , which was officially published in the Gastroenterology journal this month. The data demonstrates that the TIF procedure is more effective than a twice-daily proton pump inhibitor drug at eliminating troublesome regurgitation in patients with chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which is an enormous milestone in this disease.
Medgadget: What's the cause for this?
Skip: It is estimated that pain and discomfort from acid reflux impacts 30-60 million people in the U.S. each month, and that an estimated 8 million of these patients continue to have symptoms despite daily PPI therapy. Therefore, we've been spending the last ten years developing and refining our EsophyX platform product and rigorously studying our transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) procedure to help fill this enormous treatment gap.
Medgadget: Ok, so can you explain the procedure, kind of step-by-step.
Skip: The TIF procedure is completely incisionless and is performed through the mouth under general anesthetic. Until recently, there has been no available and clinically validated treatment like ours to address the underlying anatomical cause of the disease other than invasive surgery. During the procedure, a specially trained surgeon or GI sends a scope down into the esophagus and stomach to essentially recreate the barrier to reflux. This corrects the root cause of GERD- an anatomic defect at the gastroesophageal valve (GEV).
Ultimately, we're treating a mechanical problem, GERD, with a mechanical solution, the TIF procedure, rather than PPIs, a chemical solution.
Medgadget: Is the procedure complicated to perform?
Skip: Physicians who are trained and do the procedure very well will tell you that they're very comfortable with performing the procedure. We've also been consistently listening to physician users of our EsophyX system to gather their feedback about how to improve the product, and we continue to refine proper procedural techniques in addition to generating a growing body of clinical data We actually just launched in December our next generation EsophyX2 ® HD device, which allows surgeons and gastroenterologists to use a wider selection of endoscopes—including larger HD versions— when performing TIF procedures.
Medgadget: What are the costs, benefits or price and how does that play out?
Skip: That's a great question. We're looking at independent, health economic data from a national payer group in order support our belief that the TIF procedure is cost effective in the short term and long term. We're working with a number of physicians and experts in the industry to mine the data, so we're hoping to have those results sometime in this year. We also have had ample data showing the benefits from the procedure, which has already been performed in over 16,000 patients. Seven different surgeon and GI journals published eight studies on the TIF procedure in 2014 alone – all with positive safety and efficacy results.
Medgadget: Ok, so overall you'd say it's highly competitive if you take account of all these other things other than just simply the outcome?
Skip: Yes, absolutely. Based on our significant collection of data, we truly believe that the TIF procedure presents a compelling option for patients seeking relief from GERD symptoms.
Medgadget: Excellent – do you have any closing thoughts?
Skip: Yes, thank you for your time. We look forward to the rest of 2015 and continuing to present clear and compelling clinical evidence that supports the TIF procedure as a viable, much-needed treatment option to enhance the quality of life of millions of GERD suffers.
Medgadget: Finally, we recently heard news that Barack Obama has been diagnosed with GERD. What are your thoughts, do you recommend the President gets the TIF procedure for GERD?
Skip: I'm not going to make any recommendation. His physician would need to recommend what is best for him and his specific situation.
Medgadget: Thanks for speaking with us, and we'd like to hear more once you have more data come out. You said you have a new device coming out, so we'd love to hear about that as that becomes available. So please keep us informed of that.

FJP On the Road
Prison Visit Challenge
Harm Reduction and the 21st Century Prosecutor
Fair and Just Prosecution
"Decriminalization was very important. It introduced coherency into our system. It respects the dignity of people who use drugs." – João Goulão, General Director, Serviço de Intervenção nos Comportamentos Aditivos e nas Dependências (SICAD), Portuguese Ministry of Health
It's been almost 20 years since Portugal took the historic step to decriminalize all personal drug use and instead implement public health models to address a crisis that caused a staggering number of deaths among people who used drugs. Since that momentous decision, they have seen an 80% decrease in overdose deaths and a significant uptick in people entering treatment. In comparison, today — and every day — an average of 200 Americans will die of an overdose. This is our reality, but it doesn't have to be the case.
Communities across the United States ravaged by the overdose crisis are increasingly questioning the criminal justice responses that have dominated drug policy and led to nothing more than cycles of incarceration and harm. And a new generation of prosecutors is hearing, and responding to, these concerns. From New York to Missouri, Texas to Washington State, elected prosecutors are rethinking our response to substance use and advancing drug reforms that not only shrink the footprint of our justice system, but also save lives in the process. With the power to implement alternatives to conviction and incarceration in their offices, and bully pulpits to destigmatize drug use and advocate for harm reduction interventions in their communities, elected prosecutors can finally turn the tide on our failed war on drugs.
"We are in the midst of an overdose crisis and cannot sit by and let people die when there are proven interventions that can save lives and help people get into treatment." – Kings County (Brooklyn), NY District Attorney Eric Gonzalez
FJP's newest "Issues at a Glance" brief is a guide to better understand harm reduction principles and implement practices that center human dignity and promote the health and well-being of individuals who use drugs. In particular, the brief outlines:
The underlying principles of harm reduction, an approach that emphasizes meeting people where they are and mitigating the harms associated with drug use;
The potential for harm reduction and public health strategies to help limit drug-related deaths, the spread of infectious diseases and other concerns associated with problematic drug use;
Strategies that promote low-barrier access to treatment and aim to reduce problematic drug use; and
Examples of innovations in harm reduction practices at several stages of the justice system, as well as initiatives spearheaded by community responses — a preferable starting point for engagement.
"Harm reduction models — from needle exchanges to overdose prevention sites — are used the world over and have been proven to be cost-effective, and more importantly to save lives." – Chittenden County (Burlington, VT) State's Attorney Sarah George
For far too long, the criminalization and stigma of drug use has pushed people into the shadows and prevented us from truly seeing them with empathy and compassion. Now we have an opportunity to follow Portugal's lead and choose a new path that begins with harm reduction and embraces a public health response that is more humane, more effective and more in line with successful outcomes experienced in other countries.
To read more about these and other justice system reforms being advanced by new and bold elected prosecutors, visit FJP's website and also read our 21 Principles for 21st Century Prosecutors.
Fair and Just Prosecution: A New Vision for the 21st Century
Local prosecutors exercise tremendous control over who comes into the justice system, what charges they face, and the trajectory of their case. Fair and Just Prosecution: A New Vision for the 21st Century" promotes a justice system grounded in fairness, equity & compassion.
1 clap
Fair and Just Prosecution is a national network of elected prosecutors working towards common-sense, compassionate criminal justice reforms.

From the ever-entertaining and the brain-in-full-tilt-boogie Hillbilly, Please comes this link of statistical depression. How's it work? Well, you simply put your blog URL in the space indicated, press the Calc key and...Voila (or Eureka! or What the Hell? or whatever your favorite exclamation of surprise/disgust/ relief is).
Gunning-Fog Index, which is calculated as per the following algorithm listed to determine the Gunning-Fog index.
* Calculate the average number of words you use per sentence.
* Calculate the percentage of difficult words in the sample (words with three or more syllables).
* Add the totals together, and multiply the sum by 0.4.
You can input your own blog or others', if you really want to get into depressing waters.
Herewith, current Gunning-Fog Index values of some of the blogs that are listed on this blog for you to go to visit.
Now, in true self-delusional mode, what would be intreresting is to take these Gunning-Fog Indices and compare them with the worth of your blog and come up with a ratio of dollars to sense. That would be a useful exercise.....which I won't go on about as the results for yours truly don't really nurture my soul. What may need to happen is the arbitrary insertion of fundamentally inconsequential and frivolous long-syllabled words without any concern for comprehension of one's message. Communication on a higher plane, as it were, without a possibility of understanding.
So, Gunning Fog Index, take this!
...so I went and did it - I mostly try such things :-).
Alcessa, I think you're selling yourself short. Your score of 9, mean that it takes 9 years of schooling to read and understand your blog.
What this means is that the person who reads my blog will have to not cut classes for anouther 2 months if they want to read yours. Darn high school kids!
Oh sorry, yes, 9 years of schooling. This means primary school in Slovenia. People with Slovenian primary school level are those sitting in job centers day by day because their branch of production has been moved to China or something.
I didn't get those 2 months plus for my English writing I'm sure.
And now? And now, I can't even type the damn 4-syllable word verification word!
WV is getting simpler now, just 2 syllables: "yeldfr" as in, I yeldfr help.
I also think it is worth noting, since I inadvertently inflicted this on you, that a high Gunning Fog score is not necessarily a good thing.
This was going to be my evil plan.
2) Then, get the Flesch Reading Ease to 75, or so.
I just have to see how much evil is necessary to get these two numbers. If it's the kind of evil that cuts severely into my family time, reading time, Netflix time, cooking time..well, then other opportunities will have to be sought.
Gwynn, I'm on the task. I'll be pulling out some dusty S.J. Perlman, John Barth, and Lawrence Durrell. There's enough tongue-swallowing 8 syllable worded sentences among their collected works that it should add nitro to my blog. Fasten your seat-belts. This'll give me something to do until Christmas rolls around. Keep your OED close to your PC.
Aww, geez. Everyone knows Texans get screwed with these tests.
Delectation, eh? I appreciate your witty conrtributions. It sounds like my next few entries will be totally incomprehendable. But, I'll be treating them as simple scientific experiments to see how this verbal difficulty algorithm works.
Oh, what deeds these idle fingers are forced to do!
..and your word, Rheindonauschifffahrtskapitänsmütze, what is its meaning?
"If the captain of the Rhine cruise ship orders you to drink 3 liters of beer, then you drink 3 liters of beer."
That scoring of Mr. Shy is damnably revealing. I'm not sure I'd care to read a blog that scored higher than 11 (the enlightened among us already know you can't get any higher than 11 anyway).
Too true, WP, too true, and a great link to that mysterious 11.
For myself, reading Mr. Shy's blog is always an adventure. Unexpected results come out. I almost always re-read his entries at least twice. Enjoyably each time.
Through no fault/reason of Mr. Shy's, sometimes, after reading his posts I feel really, really smart.
Then, sometimes, I feel quite stupid.
I would love to venture into the drinking establishment that he refers to on occassion and determine the elixirs they serve up. Perhaps imbibing of one would mimimize the "stupid" moments.
a) They had a spelling reform in German speaking countries and thus, when two words merge of which one ends in ff and the other starts with an f, 3 fffs are to be written.
c) I hope you don't really intend to do anything serious to your doorstep... Like putting up large pillars or stuff.
9.51!? Oh my, It's just as I suspected. Progressive dementia! You see not long ago my Gunning Fog Index was 10.29!
As long as acquiescence is not an operative cluster of syllables around these premises we (as in the regal we) have come to the inevitable, inexorable though not entirely anticipated conclusion by now apparent to every cogently ratiocinating personage – while continuing in our inveterate ideography of amphigoric drivel we must concurrently and concomitantly write in a much more pedantic, ornamental and sophisticated style.
concomitantly and amphigoric, two of my favorite words.
Now, this is what I call writing.

Q: DAX query to check values in multiple rows Need help to create a DAX for the below.
EventID CFStatus    ManualRowStatus CalculatedRowStatus
1       Paid        Count
1       Waived      Ignore
2       Paid        Count
2       Paid        Count
3       Waived      Count
3       Waived      Count
If CFStatus has both 'Paid' and 'Waived' for a given EventID, then CalculatedRowStatus field should be marked as "Count" for the "Paid" row  and "Ignore" for the "Waived" row.
For all other combinations, CalculatedRow status should be marked as "Count".
In short, CalculatedRowStatus column should show same result as that of ManualRowStatus as shown in the picture.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Ramesh.

A: Combination of a standard bit of excel type nested IF() and a CALCULATE() that checks for records of that event id with a paid status:
=
IF (
   [CFStatus] = "Paid",
   "Count",
    IF (
    CALCULATE (
        COUNTROWS ( 'table' ),
        FILTER (
            'table',
            [EventID] = EARLIER ( [EventID] )
                && [CFStatus] = "Paid"
        )
    )
        > 0,
    "Ignore",
    "Count"
)
)

Did you know that you can make money in your free time? That's right, you can use many of the best paid survey sites to make money and monetize your spare time. The best online survey sites pay you for your opinion, or even to test out a new product.
While some survey companies look for a specific type of individual, most of the legitimate paid survey sites take individuals from a variety of backgrounds. Unlike other side hustles, you don't really need any special skills or expertise to make money from the best survey sites.
All you need is a computer, Internet connection, and your personal opinion. In fact, many of the top paid survey sites let you complete surveys from your smartphone so you can do them whenever you like.
One thing to keep in mind with many survey sites is that you have a variety of ways to redeem points. Cash is always an option, but most of the best paid online survey sites also let you redeem points for free gift cards from a variety of retailers, including Amazon, Target, Walmart, and more. You get to select which redemption option you prefer and can change at any point.
Do you want to make money in your spare time with little work? Here are the 31 best paid survey sites to make money and put a little extra cash in your budget.
Survey Junkie is one of the best survey sites to make money because it's so simple to use. The Survey Junkie platform is one of the oldest survey sites in the space, starting in 2005 and boasts over three million members.
It's pretty easy to start earning money with Survey Junkie. When you open an account and fill out a quick profile, you can start taking surveys. You can start redeeming points once you hit the 1,000 point mark, which is equivalent to $10. You can redeem cash via PayPal, or you can get e-gift cards, whichever you prefer.
Pinecone Research is one of the highest paid survey sites in the market. They pay $3 per completed survey, and they also pay $3 when you first sign up.
Pinecone Research is a little more picky in their selection process. You can only start an account by clicking the above link and not through their public site.
Pinecone specializes in product testing over straight surveys as they want to test products before they make it to the public. Like other survey sites, you can redeem points for cash or e-gift cards and every 100 points equals $1.
Our favorite part of Pinecone Research is that they have no minimum redemption amount, so you can start redeeming after your first completed survey. Is Pinecone Research legit? Check out our review to learn how the platform works and to maximize earnings.
Another great part of InboxDollarsis that you don't have to do any point to cash conversions. InboxDollars pays cash (you can also redeem cash for e-gift cards) so you know exactly what you're going to receive. Each task is worth a different amount so you won't always earn at the same frequency.
The one downside to InboxDollars is that they have a minimum redemption amount of $30. They offset this by paying a $5 signup bonus to help you start earning right away. InboxDollars offers so many ways to earn money that it's easy to rack up rewards.
Read our InboxDollars review to learn how to earn more on the platform.
Vindale Research is similar to InboxDollars in that they don't mess around with points. They pay out in cash, so you know exactly what you're going to earn with each survey you complete. You can also make money in a variety of ways, from using their search engine, to reading sponsored emails.
Vindale Research surveys for a number of niches (as do many survey sites), including cars, fashion, and restaurants. You simply open an account, fill out a quick profile, and you can start filling out surveys that match your demographics right away.
Vindale Research has a higher than average minimum redemption amount of $50. However, Vindale Research is one of the higher paid survey sites so you can hit that redemption amount fairly quickly. They also pay a $2 signup bonus to get you started.

If you buy many items from the Google Play store, PrizeRebel is a great option to earn free Google Play credits to save money.
Panda Research is like many of the other survey sites mentioned. You can make money by taking surveys, but you can also earn by referring friends, reading emails, and more.
Panda Research is one of the highest paid survey sites in the space, offering some surveys at up to $25. Payouts vary, of course, but it's great to know they have surveys that pay.
The minimum payout is $50 and they pay out twice a month – on the 1st and 15th of each month. Panda Research also pays out a $3 signup bonus after you open an account, fill out a profile, and verify your email.
Swagbucks is one of the most popular paid survey sites in the space, having paid out nearly $200 million in rewards.
You can also get paid to watch movies on Swagbucks so there are plenty of opportunities to make money. When you complete tasks, you earn SB points that can be redeemed for cash or e-gift cards from hundreds of different retailers.
The minimum redemption for cash is $25, but you can often redeem gift cards for as low as $1. Swagbucks regularly puts gift cards on sale so you can redeem them for fewer points.
Swagbucks offers many ways to earn money on the side and is one of the best legitimate paid survey sites you can use.
VIP Voice is one of the oldest online survey sites in the space. Its parent company started in 1967 and they do more than 12 million surveys each year.
As with other survey sites, sign up is fairly simple. You open an account, fill out a short survey, and you're able to start taking surveys that match with your demographics. You earn points when you complete surveys with VIP Voice.
The one downside to VIP Voice is that they do not have a direct paid system like many other of the best paid survey sites. Instead, your points are entered into drawings for cash, appliances, electronics, and vacation packages.
On the flip side, VIP Voice claims to give away thousands of rewards each month. you can complete their surveys relatively quickly and they offer regular drawings for cash, including a $5,000 scholarship for students.
Opinion Outpost is another well-known online survey site. One of our favorite features of Opinion Outpost is they offer seven different payment options, from cash to physical gift card so there's plenty of options to choose from.
Opinion Outpost has a relatively low minimum redemption amount of just $10, but you can redeem gift cards starting at $5. As with other paid survey sites, completely fill out your profile information when opening an account to ensure you get more opportunities.
The best part of Opinion Outpost is they're one of the fastest in the space to process payments. When you request funds, they're moved instantly to your PayPal account. Their $10,000 quarterly reward drawing isn't too bad either.
The Harris Poll is one of the most well-known online survey sites in the space. The platform has been around for over 50 years and is best known for their political polling. However, they also conduct surveys for a wide variety of other topics.
The Harris Poll pays you to take surveys and gives you opportunities to join focus groups to increase your earnings. You can redeem points for cash or any number of gift cards.
Our favorite part of the Harris Poll is that you can earn points even if you don't qualify for a survey, which is something many survey sites don't offer.
Do you like to watch TV? Then, E-Poll could be one of the best paid survey sites for you. E-Poll is one of the easiest survey sites to sign up for. You fill out the simple sign-up form, click the activation link they send you via email, complete a short sign-up survey and you're good to go. That first survey nets you 100 points.
E-Poll specializes in surveys based on television shows. E-Poll runs a points based system, so you get points for each survey you complete. You can start redeeming once you hit the $5 threshold, which is equal to 3,750 points.
Most E-Poll surveys pay out between 500 and 1,000 points so you can hit that minimum relatively quickly. They also run a $250 monthly sweepstakes for users. Like some other of the best online survey sites on our list, the more surveys you take with E-Poll, the more points you earn.
The best way to earn more money with E-Poll is when you get invited to review shows the day after they air. These reviews are longer than their typical surveys but they also pay more.
EarningStation is like Swagbucks and Panda Research; you can earn money in a variety of ways. Not only can you earn money by taking surveys, but you can also earn money by watching videos, playing games, and even purchasing certain Groupon offers.
EarningStation is a bit unique in that they offer you an incentive bonus if you earn points for ten days in a row. Additionally, EarningStation only offers payment via physical gift cards and not cash.
This isn't a deal breaker as many of the highest paid survey sites do the same.
Global Test Market is one of the biggest paid survey sites in the market, having over five million members and spanning 100 countries. Like other survey companies, Global Test Market is simple to join. You open an account and fill out a brief profile and that matches you with the appropriate surveys.
Global Test Market lets you make money answering surveys on a number of topics, from eating out to cars to shopping and more. Additionally, many of the surveys let you enroll in either weekly or monthly cash drawings.
Many of the surveys pay between 10 and 100 points. The minimum redemption amount with Global Test Market is 1,100 points, which is equal to $50. One feature of Global Test Market is that you can donate earnings to a variety of charities.
In addition to the ways to make money, InboxPays also has a coupon section where you can select coupons to save money at the store.
You can earn up to $50 per survey with InboxPays, though those are limited. You can start redeeming cash or gift cards once you hit a $50 balance. InboxPays also pays twice a month, on the 1st and 15th of each month.
Springboard America is a newer paid survey site, starting in 2009. Our favorite part of Springboard America is that you get entered into a $1,000 drawing just for opening an account.
Springboard America is a points-based survey system where every 100 points equals $1. Most surveys range between 50 and 500 points. They do have a higher minimum redemption amount of $50, which you can get in cash or gift card to a variety of different retailers.
You've likely heard of the parent company of Nielsen Computer and Mobile Panel before as they handle the well-known Nielsen's Ratings for TV programming. They've been around for over 90 years and collect data on television viewing habits.
Nielsen Computer and Mobile Panel, formerly known as Digital Voice, compensates you to monitor your web habits. They use this information similar to how they do for TV viewing habits, and are a legitimate service. You don't surf the web any differently than you normally would, it just works in the background.
Nielsen will also send you surveys to complete on an irregular basis. Both the surveys and surfing earn you points that enter you into their weekly $1,000 drawings and monthly $10,000 drawings. Nielsen claims to pay out over 400 monthly drawings so the loss of earning smaller amounts is worth the risk.
Ipsos i-Say is one of the oldest online survey sites in the market. The company started in 1975 and specializes in political-based surveys, but they offer plenty of other surveys as well – including many of the same ones you'll see with other sites.
What we love about Ipsos i-Say is their low minimum redemption amount. You can start redeeming rewards once you hit 500 points, which equals $5. You can redeem points for cash or for e-gift cards that they deliver instantly.
i-Say also pays loyalty points for each survey you complete as well as get entered into drawings they offer for bonus points or other awards.

MySurvey uses a points-based system, which you then convert into cash that you have sent to PayPal, or to purchase e-gift cards. MySurvey also has a relatively low minimum redemption amount of just $10.
One highlight for MySurvey is they quickly inform you if you do not qualify to complete a survey. This helps you save time and allows you to focus on surveys you qualify for so you don't have to wait around to earn money.
YouGov is one of the more unique online paid survey sites on our list. The primary purpose behind YouGov is to provide individuals an opportunity to sound off about their views on politics, spending habits, what television shows they watch, and what retail brands they use. In some instances you might even be featured in the news for your opinion.

Product Report Card works with brands like Microsoft and Gillet so you know they're a legitimate paid survey site.
OneOpinion may not have the name recognition that Swagbucks and others have, but it's one of the most popular online paid survey sites in the space. This is helped largely by their great customer service and ease of redeeming funds.
OneOpinion lets you make money taking surveys and testing products. OneOpinion operates on a points-based system and the minimum redemption amount is 25,000 points, which equals $25 in cash or gift cards.

Panel Payday is one of the more unique opportunities on our list of best survey sites for money. You don't directly take surveys with Panel Payday; rather, they connect you with survey opportunities from other companies.
The higher paying opportunities aren't as plentiful, but they're higher than what you'll see with other paid survey sites. Thanks to the higher payouts you'll also see fewer surveys on a whole. Many survey sites will provide you with at least one opportunity per week, if not more. Panel Payday is closer to once every two weeks, up to four times per month.
Survey Voices is one of the more unique survey sites on our list. You don't take your surveys with Survey Voices, rather they direct you to legitimate paid survey sites and you complete surveys with them.

How would you like to make money from your normal shopping on Amazon? That's how ShopTracker works. After you open an account with ShopTracker, you login to your Amazon account, which will sync the two accounts.
ShopTracker pays $3 per month, or $36 per year for you completing a two-minute survey each month. It's admittedly not a lot of money, but it does pay you for something you're already doing so why not take advantage of a small win?
ShopTracker is run by the Harris Poll, a well-known marketing research company that has been business for nearly 50 years. They're looking for information that will help companies with their sales and distribution.
Once you complete the monthly survey, ShopTracker sends you a $3 Visa gift code you can use anywhere you shop online.

Ebates works pretty simply. You use their shopping portal to make a purchase and they give you cash back for that purchase. Amounts vary by store and product you purchase. You can even stack coupons with other coupons, or use a cash back credit card to increase earnings.
Ebates pays out a $5 bonus when you open an account and you can start redeeming for gift cards at $25. Check out our Ebates review for a more in-depth analysis of their service.
National Consumer Panel isn't your typical online survey company. Instead of standard surveys, they're looking for insight on shopping trends.
When you open an account with National Consumer Panel you use their smartphone-based app to scan items you buy at the store. If you don't have a smartphone, they will send you a handheld scanner to use at the store. The information you scan gets sent to NCP.
You earn points for each barcode you scan for NCP. These points can be redeemed for cash or gift cards. NCP may also ask you to fill out a brief survey on your shopping experience, but may not be a requirement with each shopping experience.
NCP also offers monthly, quarterly, and annual sweepstakes to get rewards of up to $20,000. If you want to make a little extra money doing something you're already doing, NCP is a good option.
MobileXpression is a little different; they work with companies to discover how we use our mobile devices. As a result, you can only use this online survey site with a smartphone or an iPad-like (tablet) device.
MobileXpression is free to use and they make it simple to open an account. Once you open an account and download their software you start earning rewards that can be redeemed for cash or gift cards. They also hold weekly drawings for devices like Kindles or iPads.
The basic premise with paid online surveys is that companies want to get feedback on their products. This tells them what consumers think of their products and provides them with information on how to improve their products.
This is where a market research company comes into play. They work with companies to ask consumers what they think. This can come in the form of surveys or focus groups.
How much can I make taking surveys?
You will not get rich taking surveys. Some survey sites will claim you can make $500+ each week taking surveys. Maybe some people can, but it's difficult at best and not worth the time or effort.
Yes, taking surveys can be a great way to make money in your free time such as when you're eating lunch, waiting in the doctor's office, or watching TV. Taking surveys will not replace your day job. However, if you need to get money today surveys can be a good way to earn a little extra cash.
Each survey site pays a little differently. You want to understand how they pay, and when they pay, before you get started. Some survey sites do everything electronically while others handle payment with physical checks and gift cards.
Taking surveys is a great way to get free Amazon gift cards, not to mention gift cards from other retailers. You may even find more value in redeeming points for gift cards than getting cash. Make sure to read the terms and conditions of each survey site before you start.
Should I pay to join an online survey site?
No! You should never pay to join a survey site. The legitimate paid survey sites in the space are all free and are compensated by the companies they represent.
If a survey site asks you to pay anything to join that should be a sign that you need to look elsewhere.
Why do I have to qualify to take a survey?
This is a common and understandable complaint of some who take surveys. There's nothing worse to spend more than a minute or two filling out a form to then find out you don't qualify. That's why a paid survey site like OneOpinion stands out for giving you points when you don't qualify for a survey.
In short, survey sites need to ensure you match the demographic background for a given survey. If you don't, it's a waste of their time and money. They want information on their target market, which is why it's so important you complete your profile information when you open an account.
Are all online survey sites the same?
No! Each survey site is different, so you want to make sure you know how they operate before moving forward.
The best survey sites to make money make clear how they work, how they pay, and what to expect. Shady survey sites will hide that information, which should be a red flag.
What personal information should I give to a survey site?
Survey sites need to ensure you're in their target market. It makes sense for them to ask for things like your name, age, career, number of children, income level and so forth.
However, you shouldn't really provide more information than that. If the profile begins asking for credit card information, bank information, or your Social Security number then you should go elsewhere.
Taking surveys can be a fun and flexible way to earn extra money, which can come in handy around the holidays, birthdays, or even if you'd like to use the money to pay a small bill each month. They won't make you rich but they can be a great way to monetize your free time.
Have you ever tried taking surveys before to earn extra money and gift cards? What are some of the best paid surveys sites that have worked for you? What are some of your favorite ways to make extra money in your spare time?
I used to take online surveys and still take them occasionally while I'm taking public transportation. I wouldn't take them in my free time otherwise anymore because I have more lucrative side hustles. But it's definitely a good place to start.
Nice list! My wife was testing out some of the survey sites recently and got locked into a LONG survey one night. She wasn't amused! But hey money is money.
Interesting you mention that. My husband is taking surveys too. He recently signed up for a few sites and he'e just trying to see which ones work best. I haven't heard anything about super long surveys yet (thankfully).
I hadn't heard of one opinion or earning station. I guess I better head over to check them out. Thanks for this!


To start with Sentiment Analysis, what comes first to our mind is where and how we can crawl oceans of data for our analysis. Normally, web crawler or crawling from web social media should be one reasonable way to get access to the public opinion data resource. Thus, in this writing, I want to share with you about how I crawled the website using web crawler and proceeded to deal with those data for Sentiment Analysis to develop an application which ranks universities based on users's opinions crawled from social media website - Twitter.
To crawl the Twitter data, there have been several methods that we can adopt - Build a web crawler on our own by programming or choosing an automated web crawler, like Octoparse, Import.io and etc. Also we could use the public APIs provided by certain websites to get access to their data set.
First, as well known, Twitter provides public APIs for developers to read and write tweets conveniently. The REST API identifies Twitter applications and users using OAuth; After learn about this, we can utilize twitter REST APIs to get most recent and popular tweets, Twitter4j has been imported to crawl twitter data through twitter REST API. And Twitter data can be crawled according to specific time range, locations, or other data fields. And the data crawled will be returned as JSON format. Note that APP developers need to generate twitter application accounts, so as to get the authorized access to twitter API. By using a specific Access Token, the application made a request to the POST OAuth2 to exchange credentials so that users can get authenticated access to the REST API .
This mechanism will allow us to pull users'information in the data resource. Then we can use the serach function to crawl these structured tweets related with university topics.
Then, I generated the query set to crawl tweets, which is like the figure below. I collected University Ranking data of USNews 2016, which includes 244 universities and their ranking. Then, I customized the data fiels I need to use for crawling tweets into JSON format.
For my tweets crawled results, I extracted 462,413 tweets results totally. And most universities' tweets crawled number is less than 2000.
So far, someone may feel that the whole process to crawl Twitter is troublesome already. This method requires people with good programming skills and knowledge on regular expression to crawl the websites for structured and formatted data. This may be tough for someone without any coding skills and related knowledge. Here, for your reference, I'd like to propose some automated web crawler tools which can help you crawl websites without any coding skills, like Octoparse, Import.io, Mozenda. Based on my user experience, I can share with you one crawler tool I once used - Octoparse. It is quite user-friendly and easy to use. You can download their desk-top crawler software by visiting this link: http://www.octoparse.com/. This local machine installed web crawler tool can automatically crawl the data, like tweets, from the target sites. Its UI is user-friendly as below and you just need to learn how to confiugre the crawling settings of your tasks which you can learn by reading or watching their tutorials. The data crawled can be exported to various structure formats as you need, like Excel, CSV, HTML, TXT, and database(MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle). Plus, it provides IP rotations which automates IPs leaving without being traced by the target sites. This mechanism serves as an important role, since it can prevent us from getting blocked by certain aggressive sites which doesn't allow people to crawl any data from them.
Back to the University Ranking of my designed application. Ranking technology in my application is to parse tweets crawled from Twitter and then rank related tweets according to their relevance to a specific university. I want to filter high-related tweets (topK) to do the Sentiment Analysis, which will avoid trivial tweets that make our results inaccurate. There are may ranking methods actually, such as rank them based on TF-IDF similarity, text summarization, spatial and temporal factors or machine learning ranking method. Even Twitter itself has provided a method based on time or popularity. However, we need a more advanced method which can filter out the most spam and trivial tweets. In order to measure the trust and popularity of a tweet, I use the following features from tweets: retweets count, followers count, friends acount. Assuming that a trust tweet should be posted by a trust user. And a trust user should have enough friends and followers, then a popular tweet should have high retweet-count. According to my assumption, I builit a model combining the trust and popularity (TP Score) for a tweet. Then I rank those tweets based on TP score. Noteworthy that report news usually has high retweet-count, and this type of score will be useless for our Sentiment Analysis. Thus, I assigned a relatively lower weight on this portion when computing the TP score. I designed and derived a formula as below. This Twitter supported method has considered the presence of query words, the recency of tweets. Thus, the tweets we crawled has been filtered by query words and posting time. All we need is to consider about the retweets countsm, followers counts, friends counts.
I make my own university ranking according to public reputation which is represented by sentiment score. However, public reputation is only on of the factors that should be referenced when evaluating a university. Thus, I want to present an overall ranking which combined both commercial ranking and our ranking. And there are three main types of tweets texts as below.
Sentiment Score: the Sentiment Score was calculated for public reputation. The positive rate of each university was used as the sentiment score for the public reputation ranking. The formula below defines the positive rate. Note that the negative polarity was not considered since it is equal to zero.
Where n is the total number of tweets for each university; And represents the positive polarity for a tweet, 4.
After I completed the Sentiment Anlysis, I would proceed to build a classifier for Sentiment Analysis using machine learning algorithm. This algorithm I will discuss further in the next writing, which is about Maximum Entropy classifier.

The 2017 Betway Premier League Darts was a darts tournament organised by the Professional Darts Corporation – the thirteenth edition of the tournament. The event began on Thursday 2 February at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle and ended with the Play-offs at The O2 Arena in London on Thursday 18 May. This was the fourth year that the tournament was sponsored by Betway.

Michael van Gerwen, the 2016 champion, retained his title by winning the last-leg decider against Peter Wright in the final, after Wright missed six darts to win 11–9. Kim Huybrechts became the first player in Premier League Darts history to fail to win a match in the tournament.

Format
The tournament format is identical to that since 2013. During the first nine weeks (Phase 1) each player plays the other nine players once. The bottom two players are then eliminated from the competition. In the next six weeks (phase 2) each player plays the other seven players once. Phase 2 consists of four weeks where five matches are played followed by two weeks where four matches are played. At the end of phase 2 the top four players contest the two semi-finals and the final in the play-off week.

Venues
In the only change from 2016, Brighton returned to the calendar, replacing Bournemouth.

Players
The players in this year's tournament were announced following the 2017 PDC World Darts Championship final on 2 January 2017, with the top four of the PDC Order of Merit joined by six Wildcards – two chosen by Sky Sports and four by the PDC.

Previous PDC wildcards Robert Thornton and Michael Smith were dropped in favour of Jelle Klaasen and Kim Huybrechts. The 2017 edition marks the first time in which the six-time champion Phil Taylor appears as a wildcard entry, having finished outside the Order of Merit places. It is also the first Premier League without a player making his debut in the competition.

Prize money
The prize-money was increased to £825,000 from £725,000 in 2016.

Israeli Army Fires Missiles Into Southern and Northern Gaza
December 12, 2017 5:28 AM IMEMC News Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahia, Gaza Strip, Israeli attacks, Khan Younis, News Report, Rafah 0
The Israeli army fired, on Monday evening, tank shells and missiles into what was described as a "monitoring post" run by the al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, in southern Gaza, and many missiles into Palestinian lands, in northern Gaza. The army claimed, "it was retaliating" to shells fired from Gaza.
The Israeli army said it used tank and fighter jets in striking the Hamas-run post, and held the movement fully responsible for the escalation in the besieged Gaza Strip. Palestinian sources reported structural damage.
The army also fired seven missiles into Palestinian lands, in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.
It claimed that several homemade shells were fired from Gaza into the "Hof Ashkelon Regional Council" of settlements, and that one of them was intercepted by the Iron Dome System, while the rest apparently landed in open areas.
The army added that the Code Red alarms were triggered in several areas, in Hof Ashkelon; there have been no reports of damage or injuries.
Also on Monday, the soldiers shot 149 Palestinians in several parts of the occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, as the army continued to use excessive force against Palestinians protesting the illegal U.S. recognition of occupied Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, the Palestinian Health Ministry has reported.
It is worth mentioning that the Israeli army have killed two Palestinians, and injured at least 1114, on Friday, December 08, 2017.

What's the difference between Iron Man and Aluminum Man?
Iron Man stops the villains but Aluminum Man just foils their plans.
What happens when you eat aluminum foil?
Why did the man who worked at an aluminum can factory quit his job?
Scientists have developed a new, more efficient process for smelting aluminum.
They were thinking outside the bauxite.
About his girlfriend Oxide. Aluminum told Iron that he should just dump her. "You don't need that kind of negativity in your life", he said. So Iron took his advice and sent Oxide packing, but Aluminum swooped in immediately after and started seeing Oxide himself.
The first chemist tells the bartender "I'll have some H2O, please." The second chemist agrees: "I'll have some H2O also, please."
The second chemist died of aluminum, sulfur, and oxygen poisoning.

Tiny coronavirus particles could travel a lot further than 1.5 metres in the air, study suggests

The critical importance of social distancing due to the risk of tiny airborne particles of COVID-19 has been largely focused on scientific advice that airborne spray could travel up to 1.5 metres.
ANU researchers say particles 50 times smaller than hair can travel several metres
They examined data from 15,000 studies around the world
These invisible particles can remain in the air for hours
But new research suggests keeping that distance from people might not always be enough of a separation to prevent infection.
Scientists from the Australian National University (ANU) have found data indicating microscopic particles can travel "several metres" through the air.
ANU experts in global environmental health analysed coronavirus infection data from 15,000 studies around the world.
Results of their work, published in the Australia and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, heighten concerns about how the deadly virus is transmitted through the air.
Lead researcher Professor Sotiris Vardoulakis said they knew large divided particles could be transported by respiratory droplets that settle a metre to 1.5 metres from a person coughing or sneezing.

"But now the evidence which is emerging is that much smaller particles can be transmitted longer distances, even when we speak, even from asymptomatic individuals who are not sneezing or coughing," he said.
"They can travel longer distances, several metres further.
"The droplets can be up to 50 times smaller than the human hair, invisible to the human eye.
"We are concerned that transmission of the virus is potentially occurring through a number of environmental routes, including through these airborne particles known as aerosols."
He said they could also linger in the air for up to three hours.

Professor Vardoulakis stressed that the emerging research was not definitive, but said the latest data showed wearing a mask was good common sense for Brisbane residents.
Coronavirus questions answered
Breaking down the latest news and research to understand how the world is living through an epidemic, this is the ABC's Coronacast podcast.
"The question of which face masks are needed to block airborne particles is complicated, as N95 face masks may be effective at blocking virus particles from entering the respiratory system, but may allow the wearer to breathe out infected particles if the mask has an exhaling valve," he said.
"Looser-fitting surgical masks may allow small aerosol particles to enter, but prevent the release of larger droplets.
"Ultimately, even cloth masks that are well fitted may offer some protection for members of the public."
Professor Vardoulakis, who is also a member of the Public Health Association of Australia, said the evidence on tiny droplets also pointed to the need for increased air ventilation indoors and on public transport.
He said air cleaners fitted with HEPA filters could remove dust or pollen that potentially carried the virus.
These are filters that are used in airplanes and capture at least 99.97 per cent of airborne particles larger than 0.3 microns.

Inspired to bring your BIG IDEAS to Life!
The ring is on your finger, the date has been chosen and the venue booked. Now on to the details. What if someone else could handle those details so that you could enjoy being the "guest of honor" at your own wedding? Inked Events provides more than just "Day of Wedding" coordination services. From full wedding planning and execution, to the planning and deployment of your bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner and wedding party gift bags. Our expertise can be your peace of mind.
From booking venues and caterers following your spectacular engagement to delivering payment to the final vendors as they pack up after an amazing reception (and everything in between) our full planning service leaves you free to dream and enjoy. We bring our ideas and experiences to help you to make the best selections for your big day. Th day is all about YOU, but the work of planning doesn't have to be!
You've booked the venue and met with a few vendors. The big stuff is out of the way – but wow, it's way too much work to do alone! We assist with selecting the final vendors and making suggestions for detailed items, based on your preferences and vision for your special day.
The hard work of planning the wedding is taken care of, but all those pieces need to be pulled together on event day. Every couple should be able to enjoy the guests and activities, but coordinating vendor arrivals, last minute set-ups and the handful of snafus that are bound to occur can take away from the fun. Let us handle those headaches so you can be stress free.
Maybe you are too focused on the wedding day to let the other tasks like engagement parties, rehearsal dinners, post wedding brunch, guest activities, welcome bags, or showers slow you down. Luckily, our willing and able staff can help with all of that. We'll meet to share your vision then, based on your direction, create the perfect pairings to your wedding celebration.
Looking for that special centerpiece or magical element to highlight your theme? We can help. Our vendor partners never let us down, and can make even the most unique bloom request a reality. Tying it all together, our linen rental program will provide the perfect match.
Our mission is to provide you with a worry-free and enjoyable experience – from beginning to end. We get to know you personally, understand your vision and your needs, providing the wedding you dreamed up yourself, without all the work and preparation it takes to execute it alone. No two weddings are ever alike, and we pride ourselves on customizing our services to fit your needs. Contact us to see if your wedding date is available.
The type of music you select should complement the intended ambiance of your wedding. For example, if you want a subtle, yet romantic atmosphere, then a harpist or string quartet might be a consideration. Maybe you are having a toes-in-the-sand beach-side wedding where a calypso band would fit right in! Whatever your intention, set the mood with the right kind of music, but remember this is one of the things most people will remember about your reception.
Everyone is there to help you celebrate your big day, but they have expectations too! Carefully review your guest list to better understand who will be in attendance for your wedding. Based on the demographic, you will want to consider the type of music that will keep them entertained and enjoying the festivities. If your affair will be mostly family, with a high number of them being over 50 then the latest alternative rock band may not be the best choice.
There are some very unique spaces which make great venues for your special day. Consider the space you have available to work with. If the space is segmented and chopped up, or if there is not ample space to house a band then a DJ may be the best way to go.
When your wedding guests are multi-generational assume that music requests will be wide and deep. Assuring that a vast selection across genres and time-periods are available. If your attendees are all similar in age and musical taste, then you can consider a music selection more targeted for those expected to be in attendance.
Live music is entertaining, even to non-dancers.
Bands tend to be more expensive than DJs.
Bands are also unable to provide the variety of music you receive with a DJ.
If space is limited it might be tough to squeeze the entire band into one area.
DJs come prepared with special requests and can have all your favorite songs in queue.
DJs require less space for set-up and performance than most bands.
A DJ with little personality, or who fails to click with the vibe of the audience, can bring the event down quickly.

Exciting News for At-Risk Horses: The ASPCA Granted More than $1 Million to Equine Groups in 2015
Over the course of 2015, the ASPCA granted more than $1 million in equine-related grants to 124 organizations nationwide to support their efforts to rescue and rehabilitate horses. The grant funds supported several areas of equine welfare including large-scale rehabilitation, emergency relief grants, safety net programs, the nationwide ASPCA Help a Horse Day grants contest, and the Rescuing Racers Initiative, which aids in the rescue and rehabilitation of retired racehorses to save them from slaughter.
"Equine rescues and sanctuaries step in to care for abused and neglected horses, providing a vital service that promotes equine welfare, and the ASPCA is proud to assist these groups in their important work," says Jacque Schultz, Senior Director of the ASPCA Equine Fund. "Horses have been a central part of the ASPCA's mission for nearly 150 years, and we are grateful to our special supporters for their generosity that enables us to continue our work to protect horses."
Most of the ASPCA's equine-related grants are awarded as part of the ASPCA Equine Fund, which provides life-saving resources to support nonprofit equine welfare organizations around the country who work to rescue and protect horses. The grants benefit equine organizations striving to achieve best practices in both nonprofit management and equine care.
