The Uses of Comparative Sociology
The Uses of Comparative Sociology
The present book grew out of my long-standing concern about the neglect of comparative method in contemporary sociology which I first voiced in the foreword to my Military Organization and Society published by Routledge & Kegan Paul in 1954 under my original surname of Andrzejewski. I am glad to be able to say that my strictures have lost some of their applicability owing to the appearance in the meantime of a few important works based on comparative study. Although some points of my criticisms expressed in that foreword seem to me now to have been overemphasized, I have the satisfaction that I have succeeded in helping to revive interest in comparative studies.
A book which would attempt to cover the field of comparative sociology would amount to a comprehensive treatise on all the aspects of social life in their manifold variety. The mere size of the present book proves that its purpose is more restricted. What I tried to do here is to show the fruitfulness of comparative analysis, illustrate its difficulties and pitfalls, and clear certain misunderstandings surrounding its methodology.
The text is divided into three parts: Book I is focused on methodology, Book II deals with substantive general problems, and Book III contains case studies. The division is by no means water-tight because a discussion of methodology without reference to concrete applications must remain on the level of unrealistic pontification; and one of the chief contentions of the present work is that the difference between a case study and a comparative analysis should be a matter of emphasis and focus rather than of exclusive divergence.
Book II is divided into parts dealing with a few out of many aspects of social life which could be illuminated with the aid of comparative analysis. They were chosen not because I regard them . . .

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India] October 15 (ANI):The Congress Party on Sunday said that it will raise the issue of Goods and Services Tax (GST) in the upcoming Parliament session, adding the Centre made fake promises to the masses in the name of GST.
"The Bharatiya Janata Party is failing in everything. They have not been able to generate employment opportunities, GST issue, GDP is going down etc. They made fake promises to the masses. The Congress will raise GST issue in the upcoming Winter Session of the Parliament," senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge told ANI.
He added that the GST was all about 'one nation-one tax', but now there are in total six to seven taxes.
"People are getting confused and even facing difficulty in understanding rules and regulations. They are not aware about how much tax is there on which product or prices of which product have been increased," Kharge further said.
He added that some are facing losses in business and said that the GST has not been implemented properly by the government.
"Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has not taken proper steps to make it easy and simple. This government must remove all such loopholes from the GST," Kharge said.
The Winter Session is normally month-long and convenes from mid-November. (ANI)

Bold colours, expressive marks and strong compositions define the style of Italian artist Giuseppe D'Innella. Having lived and worked around the world for many years before settling in London, his works reflect a diverse range of influences and utilise a striking palette that evokes a sense of warmth and luminescence reminiscent of his time in Italy, South America and Australia.
Having started his artistic career as a landscape painter, Giuseppe now focuses his practice on screen-printing, building up numerous layers of colour to produce visually complex landscape and abstract works. His interest in mark-making is evident in his landscapes – his loose and bold brush-strokes demonstrate a joy in technique and material – and this passion is crystallised in his more recent abstract works.
His abstract prints employ a complex methodology, deconstructing his original abstract paintings through the separation of colours, and subsequently reconstructing the images through building up layers of different transparent inks. Whilst the original marks and textures are translated into the prints, Giuseppe produces new abstract variations through the playful and experimental use of colour.
With a strong sense of composition and a passion for shape and texture, Giuseppe's works never fail to make an impression, but it is his alchemic use of colour that leaves a warmth in the heart and a smile on the face.

The Catalyst for Payment Reform recently held a virtual forum on "How Employers are Demanding Better Mental Health Care" on May 1.
As May is Mental Health Awareness Month, I found a lot of this information to be very valuable, especially the speakers who spoke about the access problem and the quality problem. I enjoyed these examples as basically mini case studies to show you what some employers have been doing in this space.
Also Read: "Why Mental Health is a Top Talent Issue"
Matt Phillips, director of benefits at AT&T, spoke about how we can remove barriers to access. He defined access with a couple measures: time and location. So, an employee's ability to find an in-network vs. out-of-network mental health care provider is significant, but so is their ability to get an appointment in a timely manner.
Phillips outlined AT&T's challenge, which was that it had 600,000 people covered in its group plan, and these people were geographically dispersed. In many cases, there was a lack of in-network providers for rural employees. And even for even for employees who had access to those providers, they often found that either the wait was too long or that provider was not accepting new patients. Having to wait several weeks to get the necessary care just wasn't acceptable, Phillips said.
Also Read: "What Does Your Company's Health Care Plan Say About Your Attitude Toward Mental Health?"
AT&T's solution to this was to partner with a carrier to create a preferred provider network and work toward two major goals related to the two problem areas explained above. One of their goals is to set a high bar for speed of care, and to ensure that 80 percent of the in-network providers are accepting new patients and that employees don't have to wait more than 10 days for that first appointment.
I don't know the results of this (I believe this strategy is still in progress), but what struck to me about this AT&T example is how ambitious and strategic they were. Yes, making such large changes in a health care plan that impacts so many people must be a daunting task, but ultimately, it's respectable when a company is willing to make a major change and strive for something more effective.
Michelle Harika, chief clinical officer at Equity Healthcare, spoke about how to measure and improve quality. What fascinated me is that it just seems like such a gargantuan task to measure the quality of so many health care organizations. Is there a consistent way to do these measurements so that all these organizations are measured on the same scale? How does a company get honest feedback on a topic that can be sensitive like mental health? Harika shed some light on it.
Also Read: "Is Your Workforce Happy?"
Many factors contribute to the quality problem, she said. Clinical quality measurement in the mental health space is still new. There's inconsistency in how health care organizations screen for depression and how they use their clinical data. Also, employees/health plan members can't access a provider's quality when they're trying to pick a provider to see, and that may lead to them having an unfortunate experience with a provider that they could have avoided.
Some of the examples she gave of negative employee experiences, via confidential feedback, were baffling: a provider wearing PJs and slippers while they're seeing a patient; a provider seeing a patient in a non-private room of their home … . Not exactly something you'd want to encounter when you're trying to get help.
There are several practical solutions employers can use to address their own quality issues, Harika said. First, employers should ask vendors exactly how they already do evaluate quality measures and should push them to hit evidence-based standards if necessary. Also, ask vendors what they are doing with those measurements. Are they removing low-quality providers? Don't be afraid to ask questions.
It's also important to provide health plan members — employees — a confidential way to report their experience at a mental health provider.
Harika recommended that we need to continue to push for standardization, both in how medical professionals screen for mental illnesses like anxiety or depression and in how we measure the quality of a provider. Looks like we're not there yet, but this will definitely be a trend on my radar now.
I found these speakers to be practical and informational, and I hope you did as well! Feel free to share below if your organization is doing something innovative, unique or successful to address quality or access problems in your organization.

Inside the building, you will be able to visit a large and valuable collection of contemporary art by artists of every nationality.

text: PROJECT SUMMARY In this SBIR Phase I proposal, we aim to develop a retinal imaging based automated screening system to identify individuals at an early or intermediate stage of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and thus enable treatment to prevent late AMD. Late AMD, in the dry or wet form, is the leading cause of vision loss in the developed countries. The Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) showed that specific antioxidant vitamin supplementation reduces the risk of progression from intermediate stages to late AMD and maintains visual acuity in approximately 25% of patients. Indeed, there is no present treatment for dry advanced AMD. While treatment of wet AMD with Intraocular injections can be effective in maintaining vision, such treatments are costly, and may be associated with significant cardiovascular risks, or even progression of dry AMD. While the direct impact of AMD is vision loss, it has other indirect complications such as depression, social dependency and risk of fall and injury. Hence, it is critical to identify patients at the earlier stages. Unfortunately, there is no effective, automated large scale screening tool to accomplish this, and the patients themselves may be asymptomatic. The goal of this proposal is to provide such a tool. The current few screening systems are mainly semi-automatic and rely on color fundus (CF) photography to identify drusen, the classic lesions of early AMD. However, no screening system captures Reticular Pseudo Drusen (RPD), a recently found and common early AMD lesion that carries an even worse prognosis for late AMD than ordinary drusen. Therefore, we will utilize both CF photography for drusen and high contrast Red-free (RF) imaging for RPD detection in a multimodal automatic screening tool to detect both forms of early AMD with high accuracy. Furthermore, lack of ophthalmologists in underserved areas may preclude the timely detection of early AMD. Therefore, we will next incorporate our screening tool in a telemedicine platform that can be deployed in such underserved areas to identify patients with AMD for referral to an ophthalmologist. In the current proposal, we will develop and validate the necessary algorithms to demonstrate that an automated screening system for early/intermediate AMD is feasible. In our Phase II SBIR proposal we will develop and test the complete system along with CF and RF retinal image capture devices that can be suitable for use of our system in a telemedicine platform.

1. Who are you and what do you do?
Hi I am Pat from Singapore – I am one of the designers for our own fashion label, Dresstronomy.
About dresstronomy
The independent fashion label brings prêt-à-porter collections that embrace femininity and sensuality in an understated way. From the conceptualization of structure and cut, fabric selection, creation of finer details to the final masterpiece – designs are kept minimalistic yet intricate, classic yet novel. The designers continue to be inspired with fresh concepts and themes, injecting new twists on classic silhouettes, creating contemporary designs for vivacious women who love, laugh and celebrate life.
2. Your favorite trip ever and why?
I LOVE all my trips, being in completely new and fresh settings, meeting new people and hearing their experiences are always very inspiring to me.
I particularly enjoyed myself in Melbourne. We were on a road trip from Melbourne city centre down the entire Great Ocean Road coast, passing by the awesome 12 apostles, spending our nights in cottages right smack in the middle of wineries (great idea if you intend to get tipsy, which we were most of the time). We spent our days ogling at whatever nature had to offer (which was pretty splendid), and our nights sipping champagne with grapes and strawberries. The food was glorious – the ingredients were amazingly fresh. It was also the first trip I took with the love of my life, who has since become my husband. It was simply magical.
3. What is your favorite 3D movie and which one are you looking forward to?
It has to be Avatar – The make-believe world of avatars and the love story came alive in 3D, teleporting me right into the midst of the action.
I don't have any 3D movies I am particularly looking forward to but I really do wish someone will make Jurassic Park come alive in 3D. Dinos are a thing of the past, so imagine how awesome it would be to experience in 3D, the grand dinos grazing around in the open pastures or ferociously charging at you. All the excitement without the dangers – what's there not to love!
4.Who is your style icon?
I don't have a style icon. I love way too many beautiful things to stay faithful to a singular style. But I do have designers I look up to and hope to emulate. Elie Saab is one of them – I love the intricacy of his designs (the beading, draping, cuts), fashion is truly an art form when it's an Elie Saab.
5. What are three things you can't live without?
Christ, Family and Friends – these are core to who I am, and who I want to be.
6. What is your advice to someone who is pursuing their passion as a career?
Enjoy every moment of your life. Don't be afraid to take chances, you never know till you have taken the first step out. We designed our pieces with an image of the Dresstronomy woman – The Dresstronomy woman doesn't care for half measures, she is vivacious and dynamic, she loves, she laughs and she celebrates life.

From Shirish B Pradhan
Kathmandu, Sept 9 (PTI) Nepal Foreign Minister Prakash Sharan Mahat will travel to New Delhi on Sunday to prepare ground for the visit of Prime Minister Prachanda to India, his first foreign trip after assuming office.
Prime Minister Prachanda is embarking on a four-day state visit to India from September 15 at the invitation of his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.
Mahat will hold talks with senior Indian leaders, including his counterpart Sushma Swaraj and discuss about the preparations and agenda of the Prime Ministers forthcoming official visit, the first foreign trip of Prachanda after taking charge of the government last month.
This will also be the first foreign trip of Foreign Minister Mahat after assuming office.
During the visit, Mahat is likely to discuss various areas of cooperation with the Indian officials, sources said.
Nepals relationship with India had soured after a months-long border blockade last year by ethnic minority protesters over the new Constitution which they claimed marginalised them.
Kathmandu accused India of imposing an "unofficial blockade" on the landlocked nation in support of the Madhesis, who share close cultural, linguistic and family links with Indians across the border.
Meanwhile, a senior Madhesi leader said that the Prime Minister should address the current problem facing the country before embarking on a visit to India.
"The Prime Minister should have resolved the current political problem before leaving for New Delhi," said Upendra Yadav, chairman of Madhesi Peoples Rights Forum Nepal, one of the agitating Madhesi parties.
"The prestige and dignity of the country would be in stake if the Prime Minister visits the southern neighbour without addressing the current problem," he said.
He urged the Prime Minister to initiate the process of amending the Constitution for addressing the demands raised by the Madhesi Front. PTI SBP NSA

Daylight saving time can lead to more and more drowsy drivers on the road, according to a new study from AAA. Drivers in Illinois will want to know what the organization recommends in order to prevent drowsy driving and prepare for the changes that daylight saving time brings. Prevention is especially important because drowsiness accounts for nearly 10 percent of all car crashes in the country.
The best method to prevent drowsiness is to simply get more sleep. Caffeine and energy drinks are ultimately no substitute for rest. During the morning commute, drivers should always double-check for other drivers when changing lanes and use their turn signals each time. They should also be on the lookout for pedestrians.
AAA does suggest that pedestrians carry flashlights and wear brightly colored clothing at night, dusk and dawn. The organization also warns drivers that the darker mornings will take some getting used to. Glare from the sun may pose a problem, so drivers should use their sun visor or consider investing in glasses with polarized lenses.
During the commute home, drivers should also expect more cars and pedestrians on the roads. The reason is that with sunset occurring later in the day, many people want to stay out later.
When a driver becomes inattentive or falls asleep because of drowsiness, he or she may cause an accident involving other people on the road. When victims incur vehicle damage, injuries that require medical treatment and other losses, they'll want to determine if they can file an accident claim and be reimbursed for these costs. Injury lawyers can investigate a case and even have it reconstructed by the right experts. They can also estimate a fair settlement before negotiating for it with the other driver's auto insurance company. Attorneys also litigate as a last resort.

One of the biggest overhead costs that companies encounter is energy consumption. It has been said that companies spend around 22% of their total budget on electric bills. This can actually be eliminated from your overhead costs with the help of solar panels and the use of solar energy, especially in commercial buildings.
The system that is used to generate electricity is called a photovoltaic system. This is a system that has no moving parts but can produce enough electricity for your company's needs with the use of the sun's rays. Not only will you be able to operate equipment, machinery, and lighting with the use of the sun's power, you can do so without having to worry about power outages.
Aside from helping save you money on electric bills and helping your business continue operating even when power outages occur, solar energy systems in Florida also come with one other perk - tax exemptions. If your company chooses to purchase a solar energy system, you will be paying 0% sales tax, which basically means that your purchase is tax exempt.
Apart from tax exemptions, you will also find that there are other programs that the government has for those who use solar energy, and these include incentive programs like corporate tax credits and net metering incentives. The former is a tax incentive that encourages companies to sell the surplus energy generated by their renewable energy source to others for tax credits.
Net metering means that utility companies credit the customer for the difference (net) between consumption and generation of power, with the excess power generated being fed back into the power company's grid, thereby allowing it to be sold to other customers. This incentive program encourages solar energy users to sell surplus energy for credits, which if left unused for 12 months, can be paid for by the said company at an avoided cost rate. Regardless of which incentive program your company chooses, you will end up with surplus profit due to your use of solar power.
Luma Dynamics can help you with your plans to "go solar" and get you well on your way to energy independence To find out more, contact us today at 844-202-7414 and we will go through the options you have for converting to solar power. You can also complete our online contact form for your inquiries or to request a free estimate.

The Oregon Shop highly recommend that 'Type C' Chainsaw Trousers are worn for all applications.
Suitable personal protective equipment (PPE) should always be worn, no matterhow small the job. European standards for chainsaw PPE are published as part of EN 381-Protective clothing for users of hand-held chainsaws.
Protective clothing complying with this standard should provide a consistent levelof resistance to chainsaw cut-through.
Other clothing worn with the PPE should be close fitting and non-snagging.
No protective equipment can ensure 100% protection against cutting by a hand-held chainsaw.
Safety helmet - to EN 397. (Arborists working from a rope and harness may usea suitably adapted rock-climbing helmet.)
Hearing protection - to EN 352-1.
Eye protection - mesh visors to EN 1731 or safety glasses to EN 166.
Upper body protection - Chainsaw Jackets to BS EN 381-11.
Chainsaw jackets can provide additional protection where operators are at increased risk (eg trainees, unavoidable use of a chainsaw above chestheight). However, this needs to be weighed against increased heat stress generated by physical exertion (eg working from a rope and harness).
Gloves - to EN 381-7.
The use of appropriate gloves is recommended under most circumstances. The type of glove will depend on a risk assessment of the task and the machine. Consider the need for protection from cuts from the chainsaw, thorny material and cold/wet conditions.
Leg protection - to EN 381-5.
Chainsaw boots - to BS EN ISO 20345:2004 and bearing a shield depicting a chainsaw to show compliance with EN 381-3.

Day 12. Burley to Pocatello Idaho. To paraphrase a great line from the very funny Mel Brooks movie To Be or Not to Be, we're world famous in Pocatello. Today a reporter from the local NBC affiliate came to interview a few of us about the ride and the causes we are riding for.
We just finished with the interview about an hour ago, and it will supposedly be on the 10PM news tonight on channel 6 here in Pocatello. Here's the link to the story:
Trip journal and photos by our tour leader Mike Munk:
This link is Jeff's blog:
I'm going to try to stay awake to watch this at 10PM (MDT) tonight to see how our interviewer Tammy edited the story. I was interviewed along with Sarah Kerr (who is riding for a Chicago Rehab Institute in the wake of her sister's car accident that left her a paraplegic) and Mark Koltz (Baltimore Mark, who is riding for the American Lung Association in memory of a departed family member). Hopefully this will turn out OK.
Well, there is a lot to report on since yesterday's post. After the ride yesterday, the ABB staff conducted what is, for them, an annual tradition on this cross-country ride – the ABB Scavenger Hunt. This is taken quite seriously by most of the riders – that is, most of the riders except for us. After failing to get many of the 16 items needed, we decided that instead of winning, we'd at least try to provide some entertainment value. So, we concocted a story about us losing every single item on the list (which we never even had) when we tried to save a fictitious dog named "little Jimmy" from going over the cliff into the Snake River Canyon. Whenever Judge Jeff from ABB asked us if we had item #1, or #2, or #3 and so on, all we said was "it went over the cliff with little Jimmy" (much like my people say "Dayeinu" at the Passover seder each year!). Of course we finished dead last and set a new ABB record for least points during the annual Scavenger Hunt. At least everyone had a few laughs at our expense. Congratulations to the victorious O.W.L.s who really kicked ass. Also, thanks go to both Joe and Dave on our team who did come up with a couple of ingenious "finds" to keep us alive in the Scavenger Hunt.
Also, even greater kudos go to Dave for giving our team a new name. We don't want to refer to ourselves as "the Thoroughbreds" for a couple of reasons. One, we didn't name ourselves thoroughbreds, and two, it's not very funny. So when we had to give our team a name for the Scavenger Hunt, Dave said that since we are all married, we weren't really thoroughbreds anyway – we were more like "Geldings".
Alas, the thoroughbreds are no more. From this point forward, we are now known as the "Geldings". When we explained that at the Scavenger Hunt last night, it got a pretty good laugh.
Oh yeah, we also did some riding today. Like 140kms worth of riding. It was a very flat ride with a nice tailwind through mostly farmland (not too exciting visually). The weather at 7AM was cold (like "The Vancer wouldn't golf in it" cold). About 8C with a brisk westerly wind under mostly cloudy skies. After about an hour we warmed up a bit, then the clouds went away and it was a great day to ride.
We stopped at a National Historic site called Register Rock (see pictures). This is a rock that settlers carved their names on when they traveled west (it's hard to see in these pictures but it's kind of like frontier grafitti). Very cool. We saw carvings from the 1830's! After we left Register Rock, the Geldings added another horse to the stable (actually a filly) – Katie (here in red with her roommate Beth from Colorado). Katie has said in her blog that she wants to ride with us for a whole day, so today was a test run. She did great. You'd think she was a professional based on how she led the paceline (her first time doing this) and how she kept up. Katie can ride with us anytime, and I'm sure she'll pass us by before we hit Minnesota.
Man, that was a busy 24 hours. Whew. This ride sure keeps me busy – busier than I thought I was going to be. It's 5:40PM local time. Dinner is in 40 minutes and I haven't really had a moment to spare today. The only regret I have on this trip is that there isn't much time for relaxing. There's riding, eating, laundry, sleeping, and that's pretty much it. It's tough physically (a number of riders are showing signs of small physical breakdowns) but it's also tough mentally. We're in the middle of a 9 day stretch of consecutive days riding (4 down, 5 to go until our next break in Casper on Thursday when I get to see my Duchess). The Tetons loom in the distance like a bully in the schoolyard picking a fight, but I won't worry about them until Monday (but worry, I will, as we have to climb over the 8,000 foot elevation level to get over Teton Pass). To any of you who have skied Jackson Hole, Teton Pass is the mountain pass just west of the town of Jackson.
Here's video from today's ride:
Now on to today's mail:
Peter Kaufman has a report on Lara (who this ride is dedicated to) "I'm here with Lara at her acupuncturist - an 85 year old traditional Chinese doctor who speaks very few words of English. His credentials are impressive but Lara has begun to call his technique 'acu-torture'. His reaction to her expressions of pain is to laugh and giggle. Lara explains that the pain is excruciating but she sucks it up and pulls through it. We're not sure if the acu-torture is working but we believe it's one variable with all the other therapies she is doing that is contributing to her slow progress. Last week she wiggled her toes and moved her ankle. Water therapy has been the one place that Lara is pain free. The buoyancy of the water is heaven and her movements are greatly improved. Lara will spend next week in the city and then move up to the cottage. She will be surrounded by her girl friends and more importantly access to two pools. We look forward to continue reading your posts. We're all rooting for you Lara – keep working to get better.
Brad from Toronto writes "I have just started following your blog - verrrrry entertaining!I really enjoyed reading/viewing your descriptions and pictures - especially yesterday's caption of 'A Mighty Wind' followed by a picture of 4 ladies playing cards - lucky I wasn't in that room!" Those were some serious bridge players Brad, let me tell you. They thought I was Italian because of my jersey.
Useful links for you:
SO COOL: CHECK OUT MY STATS FROM MY NEW GARMIN!!!!!! When you go to this page, go to the player button on the upper right hand side of the page and hit it and then (after the page loads) hit the play button just above the elevation chart; this will allow you to track through the various aspects of my ride simultaneously (just make sure to make the Google map window small enough that you can watch the elevation chart, map, and other data bars at the bottom all at the same time). Too cool for words:

Welcome! We are thrilled you are here!
As homeschoolers it is super easy to get sucked in to the trap of worrying that you are not doing enough, that you are not teaching enough or that they are not learning enough. Have you ever felt that way?
What if I told you that you may be doing too much? Maybe you are overschooling!
When we first started our homeschooling journey I visited each and every homeschool blog I could find. Each day I absorbed their ideas on what curriculum I should or shouldn't use. I modeled the "perfect homeschool day" from them (tip: there is no such thing!). My virtual carts were loaded with shiny new books, papers, pens, and curriculum. We were going to do it all, each and every day. We would start the day with some calendar work and end it with song and cheerful hearts. Naive I tell you!! I was so naive!!
Our first year was filled with tears – many, many, many tears. And that was just from me! I threatened to put the kids in school more times than I could count. Even though I knew deep in my heart it would not come to that. Our early school years taught me a lot about what we need to be doing each and ever day. We were overschooling! It was not working! Something had to change.
Symptoms of Overschooling:
- Lack of desire to get to school work.
- Tears shed before school, during school, or after school. (Can be from either parent or student!)
- No time to do anything that resembles fun: walk in the park, scavenger hunts, movies in the middle of the day.
- Fights with your children to get them to cooperate.
- Thoughts of sending them on the bus to the brick institution down the street.
There are many other symptoms but those are the most basic that people will will encounter. For each family it will look different but you get the basic idea. Overschooling is a real thing (even if it is a made up word) and it can have serious consequences for you and your homeschool journey. The biggest one is burn out. When burn out sets in it is very hard to find your center and get back on track.

The circle is still gray, it doesn't have a score, but I had a notification that it had a comment. I went to the hub, saw the comment, and replied. I put the url into google and it worked. How did a hubber find it? What's going on?.
Also, why does an unapproved hub bounce around in the rank on my account page. It has no score so it should be on the bottom of the list. Instead I find it in a different place every time I check. My list is starting to get long and it is annoying to have to search for it.
Because you published it, it shows on the feed page of your followers. One of them probably saw it there. Also, it shows on your Profile on your Activity and as the last images you have published.
On your accounts page, you can click a column header to sort results; you can sort by Title, for instance.
If the pending sign (the gray circle) stops moving, then click on the 'Refresh' button (the open arrow) at the upper left of the title bar.
I think I may have figured out why my new hub took such a long time to be approved. It ended up with a score of 96. (I never had a score higher than 90 before.) I'm guessing that if the bots give it a high score. it gets put on hold so that a human can confirm that it is really worthy of that score. The hub had jumped to the top of my list before it even had a score. Again, I am guessing, but I think this may have happened because it already had a score and I just couldn't see it. Next time I won't get so stressed over a hub taking a long time to get a score. Thank you to everyone who helped me.
Congratulations Catherine! I was going to say that it was probably the weekend delay but I guess that I was wrong. I have been surprised at some of mine too.
The grey circle is not moving. I don't see an open arrow. What exactly is the title bar. (And the hub is a new place in the list again.)
It is at the top of the page, just below the tabs. It has the long white space with the URL in it and the black open arrow is to left of that. It refreshes the page which you are currently on.
The computer was just rebooted and I have left the HP account page numerous times. That should refresh it, shouldn't it.
Stats, like number of views, have changed.
Do you mean on everything, or only the recent one?
All the circles are black which means featured. The last hub I did is grey. None of them are moving. There isn't a refresh button anywhere on the page. I am on the page that begins with earnings, then shows windows to filter, and then lists the hub with stats.
Everything else is normal. The number of views and comments updates.
I figured out what you meant. I was only looking on the hub page itself. clicking the refresh button did nothing.
Thanks for your help. Everything is working normally except for this. If it is not fixed by tomorrow morning, I will contact HP staff.
If you edited the hub it probably went back to QAP. As hub scores change their sequence in your list will change.
I didn't edit the hub. The problem finally fixed itself. The hub scored 96! I never had a 96 before! I guess it was worth waiting for. I have no idea while HP thinks that hub is so great.
It's really late. I meant to say I don't know WHY HP gave it a 96. Most of my hubs are in the 75-85 range. I think I figured out why hubs without a score bounce around in the ranked list of total hubs. I think they move to the position they will be in once I am able to see the score. They must have been given a score, but I can't see it yet.

Strome has 2 goals and assist as Islanders beat Devils 6-4
NEW YORK (AP) — Ryan Strome helped the New York Islanders quickly bounce back from a disappointing loss at New Jersey the previous night to get a big home win against the Devils.
Strome had two goals and an assist to lead the Islanders to a 6-4 victory over the Devils on Sunday night in a chippy game that featured hard hits and a lot of pushing and shoving after whistles.
New Jersey won 3-2 at home on Saturday night in the opener of the home-and-home set, the teams' first two meetings of the season.
"I felt we probably played better yesterday, but so did they," New York interim coach Doug Weight said. "We had some big plays at the right times. ... It was physical, it was hard hockey. There'll be ice bags after that weekend. Coming out of yesterday, it was a big win."
John Tavares, Andrew Ladd, Casey Cizikas and Jason Chimera also scored to help the Islanders improve to 9-0-2 in their last 11 at home. Jean-Francois Berube stopped 26 shots as New York pulled one point out of a playoff spot — into a tie with Florida behind Toronto, which sits in the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
Just a month ago, the Islanders were mired in last place in the conference.
"We still had confidence that we had a pretty good team in here that could do some damage," said Ladd, has four goals over the last three games. "It took a lot of hard work to get back to where we're at, but we're still fighting for our lives. It keeps going on and we've got to keep finding ways to win."
The Islanders, tied with Carolina and Dallas for the fewest road wins at 7-13-4, now play nine straight road games over a 19-day stretch due to the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus and Atlantic Coast Conference men's college basketball tournament at Barclays Center.
"Hopefully we can get on the road and get together as a team and start to be that good road team that we can be," Weight said.
Taylor Hall had a goal and two assists, Kyle Palmieri added a goal and an assist, and Miles Wood and Joseph Blandisi also scored for the Devils, and Keith Kinkaid finished with 26 saves. New Jersey had won six straight on the road and were 8-0-1 in their last nine away from Prudential Center.
"We did a good job coming back," Devils coach John Hynes said. "I thought tonight we played very well at times — the way we played, the way we competed."
After the Devils scored twice 4 1/2 minutes apart in the second period to trim a 4-1 deficit to one, Tavares and Chimera scored twice 34 seconds apart in the opening minute of the third to help the Islanders pull away again.
Tavares converted a feed from Strome from the right circle on a power play for his 21st at 26 seconds to push New York's lead to 5-3. Chimera then scored on a breakaway for his 15th at the 1-minute mark.
"It was a gritty effort," Strome said. "A lot guys stepped up and did good things."
Hall scored from the left circle on a power play for his 14th at 8:37 to pull the Devils to 6-4.
Cizikas put the Islanders ahead 2-1 at 2:44 of the second as he brought the puck around the back of the net with the Devils' Jon Merrill defending him, and backhanded the puck from the left side between Kinkaid's skates for his seventh.
Strome scored at 9:32 for his 11th of the season and his second career two-goal game. Ladd made it 4-1 with a short-handed goal as he beat Kinkaid low to his blocker side for his 16th with 8:01 left.
Palmieri took a pass from Travis Zajac in the left circle, spun and fired the puck past Berube for his 16th with 6:39 to go in the middle period.
Steven Santini's slap shot from the right circle deflected up off Blandisi and over Berube, who tried to dive back to stop it, with 2:05 left to make it 4-3.
Wood gave the Devils a 1-0 lead at 9:15 of the first period. Strome tied it with about 5 1/2 minutes left on a rebound with Dennis Seidenberg getting his 199th career assist on the play.
NOTES: One day after being a healthy scratch for the first time in his career, Devils LW Michael Cammalleri sat out again. ... New Jersey D Kyle Quincey missed his sixth straight game with an upper-body injury. ... The teams play two more times this season, back in Brooklyn on March 31 and at New Jersey on April 8. ... The Islanders, who will return to Brooklyn on March 13 against Carolina, play 17 of their last 24 games on road. ... Ladd has eight goals and two assists in the last 12 games.
Devils: Host Ottawa on Tuesday night in the opener of a three-game homestand.
Islanders: At Detroit on Tuesday night to start a stretch of eight road games in 19 days.

Today's treatments for narcoleptic symptoms vary depending on the severity and number of symptoms. Stimulants that
work on the central nervous system - like selegiline, modafinil, armodafinil - tend to be the foundation of
treatment, but other practices like the use of short periods of sleep during the day are also used to mitigate the
effects of the disorder. The medical and research community continue to work at developing additional treatments
and methodologies to combat this condition.

These days you can pretty much get a massage anywhere and almost from anyone. But why would you do that? If you have discriminating taste but also in need of value and to feel better,
I would suggest you give Trent a call or text for an appointment. His studio, location, technique, training, service attitude are all five star.
March 02, 2018 in Atlanta, GA (in-studio)
Trent is a real gentleman: He always has a big smile on his face and makes sure you are comfortable. He asks you how you are feeling several times during the massage. His voice is very soothing and his strokes are solid and relaxing while being therapeutic. He is the best massage therapist I have ever used and I intend to keep this guy on my calendar from now on. You will feel wonderful afterwards!

It was my second time (ever) having a professional massage. Trent's hands and talent are pure magic! He listened and was attentive to my needs, always making sure I was comfortable and relaxed. Incredibly professional, friendly, and warm. Very professional studio, complete with everything you'd find at a spa. Left feeling like a million bucks. Will definitely be back! Can't wait!!!
Feb. 06, 2018 in Atlanta, GA (in-studio)
Remarkable! Trent definitely has the Midas touch. I've visited several massage therapist over the years but Trent by far is in a category by himself. He's caring, gentle and dedicated. Massage is not just a job for Trent.....it's his passion. One session and you'll be hooked! If you're in need of a masssge, don't delay. You will not regret your decision.

I was a little nervous being massaged by two men but thought I would give it a try. I contacted Joe and Trent and got an appointment for 2 days later. Trent met me in the parking deck walked me up to the unit where I was introduced to Joe. I went in prepared to get on the table and the massage started. One was on my back while one worked on my legs. It was so wonderful getting worked on by two guys at one time. It was one of the most interesting and relaxing massages I had ever had. The pressure was just right and the guys checked in from time to time to make sure that it was okay. They went through everything they could to make me comfortable and relaxed. I can't wait to go back and see these guys again I would highly recommend seeing these guys if you want a truly professional 4 hand massage
Dec. 08, 2015 in Atlanta, GA (in-studio)
I had a 90-minute massage with Trent, and he was terrific. He is a trained massage therapist, so he knows what he's doing. Plus he is extremely friendly, easy to talk with, and his touch is intuitive and nurturing. He asked for input several times, which was very thoughtful. He wants the experience to be a positive one for you. I highly recommend Trent's work -- you won't be disappointed!

Some possible trouble afoot for the current German political scene. Germany will be going through their elections around September of this year and while consensus still dictates that Angela Merkel and the CDU party still receives widespread support there is some momentum building against such consensual thinking.
Germany has had probably the most stable political scene all through the Euro crisis and certainly relative to its peripheral neighbours. Merkel has outlasted them all and also been prominent in some of her peers dismissals. However perhaps the tide is turning somewhat and it is time for Angela to sweat a little now.
There is a rise in anti-euro sentiment amongst some German voters who are appalled and worried of the bail out efforts occurring in Southern Europe as the majority of the bill is often footed by Germany. The same Germans who showed immense discipline in the good times and ensured their country was one the most efficient and competitive economies in the world all while watching their peripheral neighbours live it up on borrowed money while they suffered with incremental pay increases for so long. Germans were for a long time some of the worst paid workers in Europe.
This sentiment will come to a head in September and if the new party (Alternative for Deutschland) manages to get off the ground they could indeed attract some undecided and dis-enfranchised voters. Its Bepe Grillo style politics without the comedians in that the leaders of the party are some of the countries top economists and former CDU members and are advocating a break up in Eurozone currency unions.
Every country in the EZ has got its fair share of skeptics by now, however most of them have come from the Periphery nations who have struggled much more than Germany and often made up of either hard core hooligans (see golden dawn in Greece) or soap box populists like Grillo in Italy, what marks a difference is that Germany's AFD is made up of more prominent and respected members and also Germany has not been on the receiving end of a viscous austerity regime enforced over the last few years. In saying that austerity is a way of life in Germany and strict fiscal discipline is how things have always been over there. Unfortunately for them their banking system was perhaps too generous with their loans to the periphery nations and left them over-exposed a fact that is not lost on many Germans.
Germany is not immune to the social troubles that have emerged in Europe since the beginning of the crisis, they just better at keeping it quiet than the more fiery nations in the South.

Marilyn Monroe Rare Photos Revealed By Anton Fury Of New Jersey (Video)By Alex Jusi Madlangbayan on Jun 1, 2011 in Amazing, Entertainment, Hollywood, Lifestyle, United States, World •
Image Credit: J.R. Eyerman/TIME &
LIFE Pictures/LIFE.com
Marilyn Monroe rare photo collection photos was recently revealed by Anton Fury from Wayne, New Jersey, according to reports by several international news sites on May 31, 2011.
Fury took hold of an envelope full of negatives from a garage sale 30 years ago, and was unaware that it was the photos of Marilyn Monroe, one of Hollywood's most famous women.
Fury explained in a statement that he "couldn't tell what they were; I could see they were a girl in a bikini but beyond that I didn't know, so I bought them." He added that he "took them home and imagine my surprise."
Fury, a photographer by profession, bought the negatives of Monroe and Jayne Mansfield at a New Jersey garage sale in 1980 or 1981, because of his passion for vintage photography. According to Fury, the photos may have been taken in the early 1950s even before Norma Jeane Baker became Marilyn Monroe.
With Fury's revelation, he was able to get a lot of attention and he has "gotten a million calls from all over the world, from media all over the world."
He keeps the negatives in a safe and plans to put them in auction once he got clearance that he has the legal right to sell them.
Below is a video, from My Fox New York, showing the rare photos of Marilyn Monroe and an interview with Anton Fury of New Jersey.
