Fogarasi}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Those causing fatal traffic accidents are traumatized, which negatively influences their cognitive functions and their personality. In order to clarify how much the trauma of causing a fatal accident effects their driving skills and personality traits, the results of a psychological aptitude and a personality test of drivers carelessly causing fatal accidents and of drivers not causing any accidents were compared separately. The sample (N = 354) consists of randomly selected drivers from the Transportation Aptitude and Examination Centre database who caused fatal accidents (Fatal group, n = 177) or did not cause accidents (Control group, n = 177). The aptitude tests were taken between 2014 and 2019. The comparison of the 2 groups was done according to 3 aspects: 1. Categories of aptitude (suitable, restricted, unsuited); 2. Categories of causes (ability, personality, ability and personality) within the restricted or unsuited (altogether: non-suitable subgroups); 3. Categories of ability and personality within the non-suitable subgroups regardless of the cause-category. Within ability deficiency, the two groups include those, whose ability factor is impaired or limited. This is also true in case of personality failure. Compared to the control group, the number of restricted drivers causing fatal accidents is significantly higher (p < .000) and the number of unsuited drivers is higher on a tendency-level (p = .06). Compared to the control group in the fatal non-suitable subgroup, the ratio of restricted suitability and the unsuitability due to ability factors is exclusively significantly lower (p < .000). The restricted suitability and the unsuitability due to personality factors are more significant in the fatal non-suitable subgroup (p < .000). Incapacity due to combination of ability and personality is also significantly higher in the fatal group (p = .002). Compared to the control group both ability and personality factors are also significantly higher in the fatal non-suitable subgroup (p < .000). Overall, the control group is more eligible for driving than drivers who have caused fatalities. The ability and personality factors are significantly higher in the case of fatal accident causers who are non-suitable for driving. Moreover the concomitance of ability and personality factors occur almost exclusively to drivers who caused fatal accidents. Further investigation is needed to understand the causes and how the aptitude test results for the fatal group could improve over time. }, journal = {International Journal of Psychological and Behavioral Sciences}, volume = {14}, number = {5}, year = {2020}, pages = {142 - 145}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10011229}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/161}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 161, 2020}, }

Melt Your Enemies - An Overpass Molotov Guide
Sat 11th Jan 2020 - 5:59pm
Overpass, once the new kid on the block, is now one of the oldest maps currently in the map pool. This makes it hard to keep coming up with new things on Overpass, which is why I tried but can't guarantee that you've never seen the molotovs and incendiaries in this article. However, the line-ups I'm about to show you are probably the overall most useful ones I can think of and will greatly help you in every type of game that you may play on Overpass in the future.
In this guide, I'll show you 10 molotov/incendiary line-ups, all of which with a corresponding video and context for the usage of the shown line-ups. Please keep in mind that all of these line-ups are performed on 128 tick and some may, sadly, not work on 64 tick.
These molotov and incendiary line-ups will also be rated with a difficulty rating ranging from very easy (intuitively throw-able with no practice) to very hard (you will need to invest some time and be mechanically sound to throw this line-up reliably), but I tried to keep these line-ups in the medium-range to not to publish a guide only with very situational or hard line-ups. Let's start off with the offensive side, the Terrorists!
T-Spawn to B-Short
Difficulty: Medium, Hard if done without stopping
Usage: This line-up is really useful when you're trying to establish a default on the T-side and you need B-Short control, which makes this line-up rather early-round-heavy, but I can also see it be used when you're rotating from A back to B and trying to take B-Short before executing on B later in the round.
- Incredibly useful and from a safe distance
- With a good spawn, no CT will make it into B-Short without taking damage
- Won't hinder the Ts running towards B-Short
- Can be used to make the CTs get used to not to take B-Short and deprive them of information
- Can be used to fake after having the CTs get used to the molotov
- If the CTs extinguish the molotov, your teammates may think they're safe if they don't hear the sound of the smoke
- Your teammates should be prepared for a boost by the CTs
- Can be an easy misthrow if you don't get the timing right
B-Stairs to Toxic
Difficulty: Medium, Medium-Hard if done without running
Usage: Can be used whenever you pass the stairs (preferably as the last) to execute onto B, which includes rushes or late-round executes.
- You take away a great position from the CTs
- You are pretty safe when throwing this molotov
- Since it is useful in so many different scenarios, you can use it almost every round if you still have your molotov late-round
- People like to extinguish the flames and stay in or sometimes leave Toxic, which makes it a guessing game for the executing squad
- Rather hard and therefore a lot of error possibilities
B-Short to Headshot
Difficulty: Really Easy
Usage: Great tool for mid-round or late-round executes onto B, takes away a great and annoying position for the CTs to hide in and peek around with a flash from a teammate.
- Incredibly easy and reliable
- Helps against very annoying CTs hiding in Water and peeking from Headshot
- You are safe if you have an enemy watching Short and cleared out Connector
- CTs like to peek Short from time to time, sometimes also like to boost
- It's not very fast
B-Short to Toxic
Difficulty: Easy
Usage: Just like the line-up above, useful for mid-round or late-round executes.
- A great non-skill alternative to the walking-Toxic line-up a bit higher up
- You are OK from a safety standpoint as long as you have teammates clearing and holding the positions around you
- Important for a proper set-piece
- You can get peeked from B-Short or surprised by a boost
- Can take some time if you want to run onto B "right now!"
B-Short to Jungle
Difficulty: Very Easy
Usage: Great for an off-meta bombsite take on B or for countering an annoying enemy always playing in Jungle and harassing you mid-take.
- Incredibly easy
- Safer than the other B-Short line-ups, since you're in a corner that isn't immediately visible when checking B-Short or boosting
- Kind-of situational
- To be safe, you need to clear out Connector before
A-Long to Truck Corner
Difficulty: Medium (you need to walk just a bit)
Usage: Great asset for taking A after taking Long control, which makes this a good tool for teams that always like to roam around the map or in their defaults. This line-up takes away a strong defensive position.
- Relatively safe line-up
- Forces the CT to move and if your teammates are in a good position, they're going to catch him out, no matter if he peeks or tries to jump behind Truck
- If the CT extinguishes the molotov, you know where to spam
- Can be used in a variety of A-site takes
- There is a bit of room for error with the timing
- Can be seen from quite far away and telegraphs your A-site execute, although at that point it should be too late
A-Long to Green
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
Usage: Just like the line-up above, this one is great for a variety of A-site executes in the mid- or late-round. Especially good in the repertoire of default-heavy T-teams.
- This molotov is thrown from a safe position
- Easy to remember
- Great off-beat molotov to take away a great AWP or AUG position that is hard to deal with
- If the CTs extinguish the molotov, they're still shut out of the round
- You might get killed if you run a bit too far or the AWPer at Long hits the shot on your hand showing
Jungle to B-Short
Difficulty: Medium (you need to press and then release both mouse buttons at the same time)
Usage: This defensive incendiary line-up works great for either stopping a default set-up from the Ts towards B-Short and allows your team to take B-Short control before the Ts can.
- Great cut-off incendiary that will give you the ability to take B-Short
- If the Ts decide to run through, they will suffer from 40-60 points of damage
- Pretty simple for the effect that this line-up has
- Incredibly safe
- There is a risk of using this line-up when you aren't too used to using both mouse buttons
- If the Ts are currently rushing A, you just wasted $600 towards B
Jungle to Monster
Difficulty: Easy
Usage: Works great to either stop a B-rush or to interrupt a B-site take when it's already happening, either by shutting the Ts out of B or splitting the players that are coming out of Monster apart.
- Pretty safe line-up if the Ts aren't out already
- Can be used to establish that Monster rushes won't work
- Easy to throw and to remember
- Great for early in the round
- If you line this incendiary up too late, you'll be overwhelmed by the executing Ts
- If the Ts decided to rush A, you just wasted $600 on stopping non-existent Monster aggression
In front of A to Tunnels
Difficulty: Hard (with jumpbind/double-key jumpbind)
Usage: Can be used as an early-round tool to disallow the Ts easy entry to Playground and Fountain and can help you get aggression going.
- You're safe when throwing this incendiary at the beginning of a round
- You'll probably land the incendiary before every T left Tunnels
- Really useful when trying to find an aggressive opening
- Can be hard to get right in the heat of the moment
- You can feel safe, although a T could come up from Connector and backstab you and your teammates if you aren't careful
Don't Burn Yourself
Like always, every line-up is situational from a certain perspective. There isn't the single best line-up to defend or attack A or B, no best grenade to throw every match. Every match is different, and you should always be open to new line-ups and new approaches to the same problem in order to always truly stay on top. It is no easy task, but these line-ups may help you get where you want to get.
If you think you're still not prepared enough on Overpass, feel free to check out my Painless Overpass Smoke Guide and arm yourself with even more top-tier utility line-ups!

FRAMINGHAM, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sep. 17, 2014– A third of small business owners who classify printing as very important to their business have "high" or "very high" stress levels and those who spend more time managing ink and toner supplies are the most stressed, according to the Staples Ink & Toner "Know Your Type" survey. More than 70 percent of these small business owners describe their workplace personality as a "hands-on doer," meaning they prefer to dive in and tackle the work themselves, rather than spending time convincing others to take action.
"Small business owners tend to operate as CEOs – chiefs of everything," said Alison Corcoran, Staples' senior vice president, marketing, North American stores and online. "Their focus needs to be on increasing productivity and running a company as efficiently as possible, not worrying about their ink and toner."
"Doing it all can mean losing it all," said organizational psychologist Michael, "Dr. Woody," Woodward, PhD. "Being hands-on isn't necessarily a good thing, particularly when it comes to growing a business. Knowing your workplace personality type can help you manage others more efficiently, so you can spend more time on CEO duties."
Staples stocks more than 3,000 cartridges, with in-store service and online resources, like an easy reorder of a customer's most recent purchases feature, to help small business owners bust the stress. Whether it's finding the right cartridge through its ink & toner finder, or simply providing advice, Staples is committed to helping its customers make more happen every day at the office. Customers can also find out their own workplace personality and ink toner purchasing habits here.
Additional survey highlights, include:
"Helpers" stress about ink and toner, too: About 38 percent of those who identify as being the "Helper" type, meaning they focus on the well-being others and what they can do to help, have high stress. Over 85 percent of Helpers also tend to be somewhat last minute in buying ink and toner. More than 75 percent frequently run out of ink and toner during a job at least some of the time and 69 percent of Helpers tend to buy their ink and toner in-store.
"Creatives" keep ink and toner supplies organized: Creative types, who prefer going with the flow and working with minimal structure or direction, may be more organized than they appear. Staples found that 57 percent of creative types tend to stockpile or keep just enough ink and toner on hand. However, 60 percent of those who identify as "Creative" have forgotten their ink or toner model number when shopping at the store.
The "Organizer" recycles more: Recycling ink and toner cartridges in the workplace is particularly common with the "Organizer" type, who prefer to create structure and follow a routine. About 68 percent said they always recycle their ink and toner cartridges.
About the Survey
The survey, called "Know Your Type," was administered to more than 300 small business owners and operators to find out how they get their work done, their workplace personality, and how it relates to their ink and toner purchasing habits. Conducted with a 95 percent confidence level, the survey asked a series of questions about people's work habits, stress levels and their ink and toner purchasing habits. The survey was administered to small business owners, over 200 from companies with 1-19 employees and over 100 from companies with 20-49 employees.
About Staples
Staples makes it easy to make more happen with more products and more ways to shop. Through its world-class retail, online and delivery capabilities, Staples lets customers shop however and whenever they want, whether it's in-store, online, on mobile devices, or through the company's innovative buy online, pick-up in store option. Staples offers more products than ever, such as technology, facilities and breakroom supplies, furniture, safety supplies, medical supplies, and Copy and Print services.

Talk #1: Ridesharing - Accounting for uncertainty in dispatch decisions to optimize marketplace balance
Dispatch is one of the most powerful levers to optimize a two-sided marketplace of physical goods, as it is able to use rider payments to reallocate supply within a network. However, uncertainty of user behavior, such as riders canceling or drivers rejecting dispatches, makes achieving perfect optimality a challenge.
In this talk, Parker discusses how Lyft has accounted for uncertainty in ride-sharing networks to achieve better overall outcomes. This talk will dive into modeling challenges with sparsity & non-continuity of various ML models, preventing moral hazard in user behavior from these assumptions, & understanding the biases different model assumptions have on the overall objective.
Speaker Bio:
Parker Spielman has extensive experience in ridesharing, both at Lyft & previously Uber, where he has worked on a variety of problems including dynamic pricing, dispatch, & incentives. All of these areas contribute to a set of levers focused on better overall control systems for real-time marketplaces.
Talk #2: More Data Science with Less Engineering: ML Infrastructure at Netflix
Netflix is known for its unique culture that gives an extraordinary amount of freedom & responsibility for individual engineers & data scientists. Our data scientists are expected to develop & operate large machine learning workflows autonomously. However, we do not expect that all our scientists are deeply experienced with systems or data engineering. Instead, we provide them with delightfully usable machine learning infrastructure that they can use to manage the whole lifecycle of a data science project.
In this talk, we will share the key concepts that has made our ML infrastructure successful at Netflix.
Speaker bio:
Ville Tuulos manages the machine learning infrastructure team at Netflix. Prior to Netflix, Ville has been designing & leading ML & data infrastructure efforts at various startups & large companies in the Bay Area for over a decade, with a particular focus on human-centric tooling.

One thing we're not short of in the current real estate market is data. Every day we get reports on home sales, new home deliveries, home prices, mortgage applications, foreclosures, notice of defaults; and sort of scary sounding things like "shadow inventory." Hey, it's October!
Actually shadow inventory is a very important statistic in today's market because it tracks the number of housing units that are in the foreclosure pipeline, but not yet on the market.
In late September, CoreLogic, a Southern California-based real estate data firm, released a report that showed shadow inventory on the national level fell from 1.7 million units in April to 1.6 million units in September. The good news is that the supply of shadow inventory appears to be heading downward, and has fallen 22 percent from January 2010. The not-so-good news is that it is still the major contributing factor to the stagnation in home prices.
The paradox is that the longer it takes banks to process the foreclosures, the longer prices will remain low, but if the process were to speed up there might be a glut on the market that would drive prices even lower.
According to a USA Today article (October 2, 2011), Standard & Poor's estimates the current shadow inventory of 1.6 million units nationwide will take four years to cycle through the sales process. California has an estimated 270,000 units, according to RealtyTrac.
One homebuilder trying to mitigate the shadow inventory factor is Lennar. Rialto Capital Management LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lennar Corp, is actively buying, improving and selling distressed properties. In fact, Rialto has been steadily earning profits for the company and reported earnings of $25.1 million in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2011, according to Managing REO, an industry related website.
At the Rancon Group we admire companies such as Lennar that are taking the initiative to meet the current inventory challenges, and we encourage others to come up with innovative solutions. We will continue to follow the industry trends and look for profitable opportunities in the current real estate market.

Before SPELLS comes in here with some nerd bullshit sophistry, this needs to be said. Women lack the physicality to dominate and deescalate many dynamic situations. They're left with no choice but to escalate up the level of force continuum because they are physically incapable of doing otherwise.Bennyonesix1 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2020 1:54 amOh yeah. And get women off the force. They're the worst. Just the worst in every way.

Gives new meaning to the term "slay queen". Look at this dysgenic creature. The only thing she could physically dominate is a pizza buffet. At least give it a slapjack so that it can stun perpetrators as opposed to immediately having to resort to the Glock Method of pacification and restraint. Her male partner isn't much to write home about, either. So much for all those sissy cuck fantasies about BBC genetics and preternatural negroid strempf. That homeless ice chimp wasn't going to be taken in without making those two wish they had called in sick for the 4th time that month. I don't know the outcome, but I don't recall WASPs burning down the local Olive Garden and Red Lobster because one of their troubled scions was shot in the ass by one of Chicago's jobs program beneficiaries.
Re: Choke hold alternatives
That illustrates the situation. Cancel women cops. I wonder if SPELLS can locate us any statistics on differential rates of police shootings by sex (of LEO).

Only thing worse than woman cops would be auto-gyne tranny cops. Whew. They'd shoot every male suspect and rape every female one.

Star Entertainment is the top entertainment agency in China. It was set up by a couple, Cheng Tian Hao and Du Wan Qing, who eventually separated due to differing beliefs in managing the company. Yang Zhen Zhen is an aspiring young girl with a passion for music. She joined Starry Sky Entertainment and was assigned as Zheng Bo Xu's assistant. Bo Xu is a popular idol who is arrogant and unruly. With the help of Zhen Zhen, who helped him correct his flaws and unleash his potential, Bo Xu slowly transforms into a talented singer. In the process, Zhen Zhen also gains experience and becomes a capable idol manager. At the same time, Du Wan Qing is also grooming a singer, Yu Zi Rui, who shapes up to become Bo Xu's biggest competitor yet. (Source: Wikipedia) Edit Translation

Music LoversJust finished the ending of this series on YouTube and I feel the urge to write a review. I've mixed feelings, because I've been hooked by every episode, but felt some irritation as well.
All her life Yang Zhen Zhen (Janice Wu) wants to be a pop artist. She works as a jack-of-all-trades at a major music agency, in the after hours she puts all her energy in talent shows. She never wins, but she decides to aid her former contest opponent Yu Zi Rui (Niu Jun Feng) to become a star one day.
Zhen Zhen is friendly, optimistic, fighting for her beliefs. That's why her boss entrusts her with the difficult task of being a personal assistant to c-pop artist Zheng Bai Xu (Huang Zitao). Bai Xu is the big star of his agency, but he's pursued by media scandals due to his unpredictability and unrestrained actions. He gives Zhen Zhen a lot of head aches and anxiety. They bicker non-stop, but are in fact kindred spirits. They both like to live and fight for their music. Bai Xu wants to become his own singer-songwriter but his agency won't let him, earning money from his career as it is. Question is: will they succeed in living their life the way they want to?
The Good
Don't expect just another c-pop vehicle for ZTao, this drama has some good side stories, f.e. the relationship with his rich father and siblings, and there's a nice flow in the story telling.
If you're a fan of Janice Wu, you won't be disappointed. She really shines. Although her character should have clothing that is plain and simple, her styling is perfect, every episode another outfit. Also ZTao doesn't look bad when he leaves the swimming pool, and together they have a lot of cute, sweet moments. The supporting cast delivers a good job as well, especially the ideal-son-in-law Niu Jun Feng who plays a darker sort of character for a change.
The Bad
It is almost symptomatic in Chinese series, but there it is…this drama fails to deliver a sound closure. Really, how difficult can it be to portray a struggling artist who becomes a succes in the end, in his own right, without the help of his rich father, or agency? I won't give any spoilers, you'll have to see this for yourself.
Another minor thing, the styling of the actors is great, but it pains me to see what they did to ZTao. His lipstick is thicker, pinker than anyone. Combined with his dramatic hair-do and eyeliner he looks more like a drag queen to me. The only time I could believe Zhen Zhen would fall in love with him, was at the pool and on the beach where he was filmed without the heavy makeup.
Thanks to Janice the chemistry with ZTao was on point, but it took a long time before they kissed, and when they did, it was an anti climax for me. Aigoo, I was waiting for a lingering kiss full of intense emotion, not a touch of the lips left in "pause" mode.
Still I recommend this c-drama to all romcom/music/boss-secretary lovers. Leave your brain on the shelf and enjoy this classic story about the arrogant male and his female assistant who become of one mind completing each other.
Overall, I enjoyed this drama a lot more than I thought I was going to, but there were a few things that I couldn't get over. The first being the consistency of the context her episode as well as the ending of each one. Some episodes felt like bridges, linking one idea with another without anything really happening. Every time this happened, I would be extremely frustrated that I waited 2-3 days for this ep, and the ep didn't relieved. Then on top of that, the episodes would literally end in the middle of a sentence with an unfinished idea and I was like...really. You couldn't even give me a finished sentence? Also, I wasn't a an of ANYONE that worked at Star Entertainment. Some people had their moments, but it wasn't enough. I honestly wanted Boxu's contract to be terminated so he could go somewhere else. BUT, Star Entertainment did seem like a family....a dysfunctional family. But the one person I disliked the most, and idk if she just enjoys playing these types of characters, was Xia Yuan, Zhen Zhen's best friend and roommate. I felt like she was too much. I'm glad she grew from the beginning of the drama to the end, but she was a mess in the middle and took it out of Zhen Zhen for something he has no power over. Especially when she decided that she was in love with Yu Zi Rui for no reason really, I thought it was not cool and she was too much. I am glad that their relationship stayed friendly and that they could learn from one another because if they were written to fall in love, I would have called bullshit.
Overall (again, part 2), I would love to see Z.Tao act in more dramas as well as continue to watch Janice Wu in the future. I hope they collaborate again and I wish that all the songs from this drama were on Spotify because, EVERY song was amazing in this drama.

At Bristol University Freshers' Fair – also called the 'Welcome Fair' – last year I gave dozens of students a free taster of the Alexander Technique, and spoke to many more about its benefits.
Many students suffer from back or neck pain, caused by habits such as sitting at desks for long hours. Physical tension and mental anxiety also arise from a lack of strategies to deal with exam stress.
The Alexander Technique can help with many of the diverse challenges that university life brings. That's because the Alexander Technique demonstrates, on a very practical level, that you don't need to be at the mercy of the stimuli around you. You can the learn the very real skills of:
– saying 'no' to your habitual reactions to the things in your life causing you stress;
– allowing a different response, one that is far more congruent with your overall wellbeing.
I am currently offering free taster sessions to university students at my studio in central Bristol. And to read more about this unique, powerful and evidence-based method, you can read my own 'About AT' summary.
Good luck to all students as they enter the exam season!

My most recent pieces for The American Conservative are about bargains that are questionably made and broken, and one of them is out of this world. First up, a kind of rigged deal that has probably affected every reader of this blog, followed by boycotts you may have participated in, and, finally, a disputed deal that justified the photo from space above.
General Mills and Consumers' Contracting Access to Courts
In films, signing a contract is a considered, deliberate affair. Pens are inked, notaries are summoned, and stamps thud down as witness. But, in the eyes of General Mills, rights could be signed away with the beep of a supermarket scanner or the click of a "Like" button.
With a new revision to its online terms of service, General Mills has informed its customers that redeeming a cereal coupon constitutes a binding agreement to give up their rights to sue the company. Instead, if they are unsatisfied with their Wheaties, they could only settle the complaint through private arbitration. In arbitration, the customer brings suit to a private court, chosen by the company, which is not bound by the ordinary legal system.
Boycotting the Arts and Academia
The Russians are withdrawing. Not from Crimea and Eastern Ukraine, but from Washington D.C. where the Woolly Mammoth Theatre has just canceled its festival of four plays from Moscow. As the political climate chilled, the Moscow Cultural Ministry decided to pull its funds from the festival, and Woolly Mammoth was unable to make up the difference…
Conventionally, sanctions are a punitive tool of foreign policy that are intended to bring the offending country back to the bargaining table. Or, in extreme cases, to make life under the intransigent government so uncomfortable that the citizens push for regime change, whether democratically or otherwise.
An arts and academia boycott doesn't quite fit the bill. The pain of restrictions on researchers or experimental theater companies is unlikely to trickle down to voters or up to politicians. But, even worse, when the time comes to broker some kind of détente, both sides will be worse off for losing the weak bonds of shared culture and learning. In the case of academic boycotts, the world as a whole will be worse off as researchers end up siloed and isolated from their peers, as mathematician Edward Frenkel was until he caught a lucky break.
SpaceX Sues to Shoot for the Stars
Silicon Valley CEO Elon Musk is used to red tape interfering with his transportation companies. First, his electric Tesla cars were kept out of states like New Jersey, when the state's laws barred the company from selling cars directly to consumers, cutting out the middle man at the dealership.
While that suit is pending, Musk is opening a new case against the federal government, which he claims is unfairly excluding SpaceX from competition to launch Air Force and military satellites.

KSU has achieved a phenomenal increase in scientific publishing with this year's output five times what it was in 2007, when only 324 scientific papers were published.
This increase in scientific publishing parallels the university's publishing of five research articles in the highly respected international scientific journals Science , Nature and other renowned journals as well as a number of patents KSU has registered with the U.S. Patent Office.
The standards required for scientific journals to be ISI indexed reflect the quality of the journal. They include:
1) The timeline of publication is of primary importance because a journal must be published according to its stated frequency for at least two consecutive years.
2) The international diversity of the specialties and country of origin of the journal's editorial committee, to inspire confidence in the quality and distinction of the published articles.
3) The diversity of the sources of research published in the journal, to cover the largest possible number of countries and researcher nationalities.
4) The quality of published research and its relevance to the international scientific community. This research is assessed according to the number of citations the authors have in other journals.
5) All research articles should be published in English for accessibility to researchers worldwide.
6) All international quality criteria for refereed international journals must be satisfied in submission, evaluation and publishing of scientific articles.
It is hoped that KSU's success will encourage other Saudi universities to increase their emphasis on research and publications.
The Institute for Scientific Information was founded in 1960 by Eugene Garfield. After it was acquired by Thomson Scientific & Healthcare in 1992, it became known as Thomson ISI and now is part of the Healthcare & Science business of the multibillion-dollar Thomson Reuters Corporation.
ISI offers bibliographic database services with a specialty in indexing and analysis, a field pioneered by Garfield.

Sunday, 7:00 a.m: Fulham v. Arsenal
Sunday, 9:15 a.m: Southampton v. Chelsea
Sunday, 11:30 a.m: Liverpool v. Manchester City
Harry Kane, TOT v. CAR (£28): Kane has a goal in three straight games, and a home game against Cardiff City presents a prime opportunity to keep his streak going. Cardiff have shipped 14 goals over their last four games, and with Kane boasting the best anytime goal scorer odds on the slate, I'm expecting him to pile on to their recent misery.
Son Heung-Min, TOT v. CAR (£23): Son assisted in Wednesday's loss to Barcelona, and with multiple injuries in the Tottenham attack, he should continue to start. He's yet to score this season, but considering he's topped double-digit goals in two straight seasons, it's only a matter of time before he opens his 2018/19 account.
Jamie Vardy, LEI v. EVE (£18): Vardy will look to carry his run of good form over to Saturday's home clash against Everton, who have conceded two goals in each of their three away games this season. He's one of the most goal dependent forwards in the league, but at this price combined with his hot form and the good home matchup, Vardy could be the kicker in tournaments.
Eden Hazard, CHE at SOU (£26): Hazard leads the league with six goals, and now he's up against a vulnerable Southampton defense that has conceded two goals in three straight games. He has a lot more freedom under new boss Maurizio Sarri, and Hazard's fantasy owners should continue to reap the rewards.
Paul Pogba, MUN v. NEW (£20): Despite all of the turmoil out of the Manchester United camp, Pogba has been a consistent source of fantasy points. He has the ability to pile up stats through a variety of categories, and in a favorable matchup at home against Newcastle, I think he continues to be a safe plug-and-play at a reasonable salary.
James Maddison, LEI v. EVE (£18): Maddison has been involved on the scoresheet for four consecutive games, and he's well positioned to make it five at home against Everton on Saturday. His 11.90 points per game average is among the best at the position, but Maddison comes at a hefty discount compared to some of the bigger names.
Kieran Trippier, TOT v. CAR (£19): Trippier contributed an assist and topped 10 points in his last league appearance. He's in a similar spot against Cardiff at home, as Spurs have a legitimate shot at a clean sheet and Trippier should see plenty of opportunities to get involved in the attack, whether through set pieces or open play.
Harry Maguire, LEI v. EVE (£16): Maguire has taken a combined seven shots over his last three outings, putting five on frame and finally hitting pay dirt with a goal in last weekend's 2-0 win over Newcastle. While we can't always rely on attacking production from center-backs, the uptick in shots in noteworthy, and it's clear that the Foxes are going to continue to seek Maguire out on set pieces.
Jose Holebas, WAT v. BOU (£14): Holebas is averaging over 10 points per game at home this season, and he should flirt with double digits again against Bournemouth on Saturday. He continues to stand over the majority of Watford's dead balls and co-leads the league in assists through the first seven games.
Hugo Lloris, TOT v. CAR (£17): Lloris conceded four goals to Barcelona in his return from injury but gets a much better matchup at home against Cardiff in his Premier League return. Spurs boast the best win and clean sheet odds on the slate, and considering Cardiff have just one goal in three away games, I don't mind finding the funds to pay up for Lloris.

Breeder Shows Off New Litter Of Kittens With Spooky 'Human Faces'
A Russian breeder has created her own litter of Jellicle cats, complete with eerily human faces that'd give the musical's cast a run for their money.
Tatyana Rastorgueva, a 44-year-old felinologist and animal lover, has been breeding cats since 2002.
At first glance, she's got a bunch of adorable, everyday furballs. But look again – they look like people.
Check out a video of the strange, brilliant cats below:
Through a painstaking breeding process, Rastorgueva has managed to create the supremely unusual (nonetheless lovable) felines – the Maine Coons are the result of breeding father cat Vatican and mother cat Lucien.
Rastorgueva, from Moscow, explained:
I really love animals, cats have always been a part of my life. But I began to professionally breed cats in 2002, I have been working directly with Maine Coons since 2004. I like what I do, I can say that cats are my calling.
Each breeder has his own vision of the breed and selects individuals for further selection according to those traits that are important to him.
The Russian's unique cats have caused quite the stir online, as people flock to catch a look at their piercing eyes and distinctly human facial features. She manages an Instagram account – @catsvill_county – packed with snaps of the cats, with more than 83,000 followers.
Rastorgueva added:
I can say that while working with the breed, I focused on the type of Maine Coon that I like, that's why I now have a recognizable 'face' type of kittens in my nursery. This is just a long painstaking work of the breeder. I love all animals, especially cats. Maine Coons captured my heart completely.
Just looking at the funny pets triggers flashbacks to the recent Cats trailer – which is more in the region of being absolutely terrifying.
Based on T. S. Eliot's collection of poetry and Andrew Lloyd Webber's classic musical, this fully-fledged, live-action feature looks ready to arm the world's sleep paralysis nightmares for years to come.
What is Cats about, I hear you ask? That's a bloody good question, one that I wish I could answer firmly with some authority. But I can't, because it doesn't really make sense.
Here's the synopsis:
A tribe of cats called the Jellicles must decide yearly which one will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and come back to a new Jellicle life.
The film has an all-star cast: Judi Dench, Idris Elba, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, as well as newcomer Francesca Hayward in the lead role.
If Cats looks like your ideal night at the pictures, it hits UK cinemas on December 20.

Instant Play or Download Casinos? Features, Pros, and Cons
The technological age has modified the perception of many aspects of the world. It influences behaviors, actions, and thoughts that ten, twenty or thirty years ago would have been equivocal in time and space. Logically, the gaming industry has benefited to the extent that it now provides modern and optimized versions and interfaces, ready to meet the needs of its audience. The field of betting, with its playful nature and entertainment that serves its customers, is the one that covers the most interesting issues.
First, stalwart gamblers witnessed the transfer of some versions of their favorite games to the web.

Fuzzy Numbers:Pre-K Foundation 4+
Evidence-Based Early Math App
Cognitive ToyBox, Inc.
- $9.99
"Kudos for putting together an academic-research background with an imaginative, playful presentation to try to help kids build a solid early math foundation." - Common Sense Media
Help your preschooler develop early math skills with this science-backed game! Fuzzy Numbers provides a fairy-tale setting for children to practice foundational early math skills.
Your child will love exploring Princess Poodle's castle, Prince Frog's beanstalk, Witch Cat's potion school, and Pirate Whale's treasure cove. Each scene is designed to help your child exercise his or her intuitive sense of quantity, or "number sense".
Research shows that children with a stronger number sense tend to perform better on real math tests (Halberda et al., 2008). Four and five year old children who played digital number sense games demonstrated better math performance (on tests of counting, number identification, addition, etc.) compared to control groups, when tested right after a brief practice (Wang et al., 2016) or after several weeks of practice (Park et al., 2016). Fuzzy Numbers is adaptive and continually challenges your child's number sense. Children from ages 3 to 5 enjoy playing Fuzzy Numbers. Learn more about the science behind the game on the Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop blog: http://www.joanganzcooneycenter.org/2017/05/30/developing-an-evidence-based-early-math-app/.

Great app for toddlers to learn maths, scientifically proven
I tend to be skeptical of learning apps since who knows if it will actually help your kid learn better. I did some research into this app before buying - there's a good scientific rationale behind it and there are studies backing the app too. Very happy I found this. Anything to help my little one learn faster!
My child loves this
My daughter had so much fun playing this game on our cross-country plane ride. I love that it is based on research and will be a fantastic help to her in kindergarten next year. Looking forward to more fun games that are based on educational research and can keep my daughter entertained for hours. Thanks
Great educational app
This engaging and fun game aims to
Increase a child's "numbers sense" by challenging them with increasingly difficult more-than and less-less than problems. Backed by real science, it holds my child's attention while building math skills. Great app.

This week, I appear on an episode of "One Life to Live" - here is a rundown of my 5th experience on the set as an "Under 5" (U5) player...
I was cast as the "Florist" and was excited to pick up my script and see what scenes I would be in. Happily, my 5 lines were spread out over 3 scenes, which adds up to more possible screen time. Without giving anything away, I'll just say that Dorian is preparing for an event and is her usual demanding self, and me as the poor florist gets the brunt of it! A few days before the shoot, I got a call from one of the producers who said that the character had been changed from "Florist" to "Stylist." I was instructed to replace any reference of "flowers" to "shoes" and I was told that the costume would also be changing. As the florist, I would have been given a pair of khaki pants and a polo shirt. As the stylist, I would get to wear something a little more fancy- awesome!
I got to the studio for my 7:15am call time (ugh!) I went into the dressing room, dropped off my stuff, and then went to the green room for our "dry" - which is a dry-run blocking rehearsal where the actors can quickly go over the scenes/staging with the director prior to getting ready. I met Erika Slezak (Viki), Tuc Watkins (David), and Robin Strasser (Dorian) who all took the time to shake my hand and introduce themselves personally. They are exactly what you would expect them to be- gracious, talented, focused (and gorgeous!) What I didn't expect, and was delighted to see, was the sense of humor they had about their work. We laughed a lot during this first rehearsal, and the blocking of the scenes went very quickly. Tuc, in particular, as David threw in some improv-ed lines of his own, and had us in stitches.
I was done with the rehearsal at 8am, in time for me to get into hair and makeup. One of the things about being a "U5" character is that the scene is focused on the main players, so the U5's makeup/hair is generally nondescript, so as not to pull attention. The stylist and I joked about how "severe" my hairstyles have been for every episode that I have done (as I mentioned, this was my 5th time on the show.) As far as makeup, because of the cameras and the lighting, the color of the base makeup is dark, and it is thick! And with every facial expression, deep creases appear on the face that look comical when seeing it in person. But, strangely, it has always looked perfectly fine on camera. Here's a sneak peak from behind the scenes:
The costume above is actually mine. U5 roles on the show usually involve uniformed characters- cops, doctors, EMTs, bartenders, waiters, etc. Because I was a more upscale character (a stylist) I didn't have to wear a uniform, so they asked me to bring some clothing that I felt comfortable wearing on set. I often prefer that- at least I know I'll look good because it's something I've purchased! Plus, the unions have negotiated a little bump in pay when you provide your own costume- so getting that extra fee is not too shabby. I finished up with hair/makeup around 9am, and got into my costume by 9:20am.
Once I got onto the set at 9:30am, things progressed very quickly. As I mentioned, I was in 3 "scenes" with 5 lines spread out over those scenes. (I put scenes in quotes because it is really just one scene broken up into pieces throughout the episode.) Those of you who follow the show know that Dorian is a hysterical character- she's impulsive, passionate, and quirky, and this scene is no exception. I count myself lucky- often, U5's get one line that is a throw away (a bartender saying, "Coming right up," or a nurse saying, "I'll be right back.") But I feel like I got to do some more fun stuff- we'll see how many of my reactions make it into the episode.
When you are shooting a soap on a traditional 3 camera/proscenium set, you perform all of your action toward a bank of cameras that are rough edited (turned on and off) by the folks in the control booth. There is usually a camera capturing a wide shot of the room (often used in the first part of the scene to help establish the location); there are 2-3 other cameras that pick up the action of the individual actors. When you are in a scene with multiple lead actors, U5's won't often have a lot of camera time- it is more important to focus on the key players. But there are several moments in this script where it is just Dorian and her stylist, so I think I have a good chance of being featured well. The first 20 pages of the script were staged and shot within 40 minutes, and I was out of costume and on my way home from the studio by 10:20am.
I really, really have a blast working on the soaps. Despite what people think, the actors give honest and raw performances, and do remarkable things in a short amount of time. There are a huge assortments of team members who make the shoot possible, and they have always been so welcoming to me. You really get a sense that they love their job, that they feel like a family, and it makes me root for the show even more strongly. In this age of DVRs, there's no reason you can't cuddle up in the evening and take in a good soap opera. Well, you can at least do it when I have something airing!
My episode is scheduled to air October 28 (Wednesday) on ABC. On rare occasions, they may move scenes around, so there is always a slight chance I'll be airing a different day. But hopefully it will run as planned. Please tune in, and be sure to check out the credit on IMDB!

PING Karsten 1959 Craz-E Mallet Putter Review
Last Updated:
What we say...
It's been more than 50 years since the late great Karsten Solheim appeared from his garage with what turned out to be the first in a long line of impressive putters!
The Craz-E isn't quite as crazy in shape as you might think, and it actually sits beautifully behind the ball. An elastomer cavity insert gives the putter a solid feel and a sound to match while the stainless steel face is a winner for distance control too. We love the finish – the satin look dramatically reduces glare and the price is pretty competitive too.

Thirst thing in the mourning
Adam collided with Adam
Agin and agin
As taken aback
As it was a hit
Necessitating an equal
Yet opposite reaction
Recoiling for time in memorial
Chastening to watch
As if
One clock to rule them all
As reliably ticking off
As any won could predict
Nay, reckon
How many fateful years
To urn a time peace
As fools goaled
Pain the prize
For what is
Only avail Abel
As kicking morass
Miring won another
As if he only
All that is given
What should be
Wreckless abandon
Lives in untolled runes
Malingering by passing
High noon
Long lost in the shadows
Of a flagging west
As dusk to dusk
And wend we do not know
Sow inconceivable
To sum
As won's better have
Of what once was
Eve 'n
O men!
Of what will be
From whence the spirit comes and to where it goes, nobody knows. The life of the spirit is deeply involved in possibility, originality. As the prophet Isaiah proclaimed in this regard: "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." (Isaiah 43:19) Denying wondrous, life-springing possibilities and freshness is unoriginal sin. Leaning on the everlasting alms calls us to awe that is anew. The wilderness today is a so-called civilization with a seemingly inescapable rigged game. The wasteland is a close-sum game with all competing for seemingly scant resources and only hoping to make degrade. The life of the spirit is imbued with hope and possibility. The probabilistic universe that we live in is simply a playground for hope to run amuck — amuck being what happens when stardust is mixed with water. Mistaking the universe, creation, for merely a set of rules buy which wee are gloriously complicated dirt determined to be the best rule followers, is the worst sort of religion. Experiencing creation is an inescapable part of our being — "do you not perceive it?" Participating in creating is much more optional. "He made me do it." "That's not my job." "I'm only doing my job." These are not the type of things that people say who are firmly grounded in the rapscallion life of the spirit, that is, who are in love with hope and possibility — and in love with love. May you be totally captivated by hope and possibility, a vexing wrench in the probabilistic gamers triangulations. And if you must sin, please, try something original.

Yesterday, in a 5-4 decision (Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission), the US Supreme Court eliminated restrictions on corporate spending that went into effect with the McCain-Feingold legislation passed in 2002.
There is a lot of teeth gnashing and worry floating in the country about what this decision means not just for our elections, but for our republic. It is a sea change in the way we elect our leaders, but there is an effort underway to fundamentally change that process. It's simply a new wrinkle to an old problem.
Corporate money and influence clouds our government at a very fundamental level. Politicians, regardless of party, are recipients of campaign finance largesse courtesy of the lobbying organizations organized to influence those politicians and in turn, the legislation they create. It is an economy of opportunity that lobbying groups have created which distracts from intelligent and reasoned discussion about policy which effects us all.
It is exceptionally clear to me that our legislative system is fundamentally broken. Our Representatives and Senators are not able to properly and logically address significant problems facing our nation due to the influence of money in politics. Until we can trust that our representatives are making the right decisions, for the right reasons, sensible legislation is impossible and the public trust compromised.
It's time to publicly fund state and federal elections. Eliminating the dependence on lobbying money and focusing our legislators on the tasks at hand is a necessity if this country is to prosper. It was an idea first proposed by Teddy Roosevelt nearly 100 years ago and it's time that it be considered once again.
Limiting campaign donations to an amount between $100-$250 with built in increases (tied to inflation) over time and allowing for access to public funding once a certain level of electable credibility is achieved through petition signatures and measured support is where we begin.
It will not be an easy job to build a new system, but it is the only way in which we can return sanity to our government. We will also need to address and perhaps limit the power of incumbency to avoid franking abuses and influence gained through seniority. We now have professional legislators who are simply waiting for the opportunity to become professional lobbyists and trade on the influence accrued while in office. At the state level, we have hangers-on like Steve Pigeon who can bring to bear the financial resources of one man to essentially throw an entire city, county or state into gridlock. Is this the way we want to be governed?
It should be clear to all, right or left, that the system is fundamentally handicapped. Monetary influence from unions, corporations, industry associations, PAC's and other niche lobbies are crippling our ability to tackle the most significant economic downturn since the Great Depression. Corporate donations and industry authored legislation inhibits the proper measurement of costs and consequences when we attempt to address long term deficits, military largesse, foreign policy, climate change, infrastructure, urban planning or skyrocketing healthcare costs. Considering yesterday's Supreme Court ruling, the problem has never been so obvious.
This video is about the economy of influence and the trust gap between Americans and Congress. It's worth the time, please watch it.
Finally, this is Lessig's response to the Citizens United decision. He'll have more detail to come, but this message does highlight the need to act now, while the momentum is behind the idea.
Do you agree with this idea to change the system? If so, head over to Change Congress and voice your support.
You should also call your Representative and Senator to let them know you support the Fair Elections Now Act which would establish citizen funded elections.
In WNY, Reps. Slaughter, Massa and Maffei are co-sponsors of H.R.1826 and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is a co-sponsor of the Senate version of the bill, S. 752. Rep. Higgins has voiced support for the bill in previous interviews and I will call his office tomorrow to confirm his support, the same goes for Sen. Schumer. Rep. Lee has not signed on nor has he voiced support for the bill.
