Week 5: Repeated Games, Competition, and Cooperation, I
I. Finitely-Repeated Games
A. We frequently play with the same people over and over again.
B. Question: If players condition their behavior in one game on your behavior in previous games, what happens?
C. Answer: More equilibria may be sustainable.
D. There are two main cases to consider: finitely-repeated games and infinitely-repeated games.
1. Note: Games that probabilistically end, with no fixed upper bound to number of games, count as infinitely-repeated.
E. Suppose two players first play a PD game, then a Coordination game, using last week's payoffs.
F. Note: The "independent" equilibria of the two games remain equilibria.
G. But a Pareto-superior outcome now becomes possible. Suppose that each player plays Left in the second game if either player failed to Cooperate in the first game, and Right otherwise. Then both players play Cooperate, Right, and this is a NE!
H. How is this possible? If a player fails to Cooperate in the first game, he gets 6, but then only earns 3 in the second game, for a total payoff of 9. But equilibrium play has a payoff of 10.
I. What happens if you reverse the order of the two games?
II. The Paradox of Backwards Induction
A. Thus, even in finitely-repeated games, the set of Nash equilibria expands. But it expands much less than you would think.
B. How so? Suppose two players play the PD game a hundred times. Couldn't they sustain Cooperation by threatening retaliation?
C. No. In the last turn, both players will defect. Since they both defect in the last turn no matter what, threatening to defect if your opponent fails to cooperate in the second-to-last game is no deterrent at all. So people fail to cooperate then, too,
D. Pushing this logic backwards all of the way to the first turn, cooperative play completely "unravels."
E. How does this differ from the previous example? That combined a dominance-solvable game with a game with two Nash equilibria. So even in the last turn, a sort of "revenge" is possible. Not so if all of the games in the series are dominance solvable.
F. Aside: In reality, of course, experiments confirm that people do cooperate in finitely-repeated games to a greater extent than 1-shot games. Some attempts have been made to theoretically model this. Most are based on the premise that players assign a small probability of irrationality to their opponent.
III. Infinitely-Repeated Games
A. Few games literally last forever, but many games always have a chance to continue. As long as they have that chance, game theorists call them "infinitely repeated."
B. With infinite repetition, the previous unraveling logic no longer holds, making more equilibria sustainable. Now, the intuition of retaliation works.
C. Simple example: Repeated PDs. Suppose we both make the most extreme possible threat (aka "trigger strategy"): If you cheat me once, I'll never cooperate with you again. Suppose further that we both discount the future by b. (Alternately, that the game continues each turn with probability b). Is this a NE?
D. If you cooperate, you get . Recalling the formulae for infinite sums, this adds up to .
E. If you defect, you get 6 immediately, but then only 1 forever afterwards. Mathematically: , which adds up to: .
F. To check to see whether this is a NE, then, we see whether the Nash payoff weakly exceeds the defection payoff. Is ? It is, so long as b³1/5.
1. Note: Without discounting, repeated games are a no-brainer. No finite gain from cheating would ever be worth infinite punishment.
G. Are other equilibria sustainable? Of course. You might not cooperate at all. You might only punish for one period, then return to cooperation. Intuition: The weaker the punishment, the higher b must be to make cooperation sustainable (b³1/4 in the latter case).
H. The Folk Theorem shows that if cooperation is sustainable at all, there will normally be an infinite number of equilibria.
I. So what actually happens out of the endless possibilities? As in Coordination games, focal points probably matter a great deal, but are hard to formally model.
IV. Reputation
A. Economists frequently invoke reputation to explain seemingly money-losing behavior. Does this make sense?
B. Yes. The logic of repeated play often works even if there is some one-shot interaction. Suppose, for example, that a store owner decides to cheat or not cheat a customer, and one-time customers decide whether to buy or not.
C. Using weak dominance, the store owner always cheats, so the customer never buys.
D. But suppose that customers know whether the store has cheated in the past, so they can play (Buy if no past Cheating, Don't otherwise).
E. Is this a NE? It is if .
F. The applications of reputational models are endless. Most obviously, reputation is the market alternative to regulation of product quality and the like.
1. Question: How does ease of detection affect reputational incentives?
G. Reputation probably matters for prices as well as quality. Stores may keep prices below daily profit-maximizing levels because they want a reputation for low prices.
H. Intuitively, we usually think that reputational incentives lead to Pareto superior outcomes. But reputational incentives could actually lead in the opposite direction. Outlaws might try to develop reputations for ferocity, or dictators for brutality.
I. How can the standard intuition be rationalized? Add on free entry and exit. Then people with bad reputations earn no advantage because they have no one to interact with.
1. The Tullock PD-with-partner-selection experiment.
V. Monopoly and Contestability
A. You have all seen the standard monopoly model. The monopolist maximizes PQ-TC, and sets MR=MC.
B. Does this make sense in game theoretic terms? Sure, this is an equilibrium. But there is also an equilibrium where consumers refuse to buy anything if P>MC, so the monopolist sets P=MC. And of course there are many other equilibria.
1. Question: What extra assumptions and/or solution concept underlie the standard account?
C. Still, the standard account intuitively seems right as far as it goes. The main problem is that it neglects potential competition.
D. Contestability models offer one of the most appealing ways to analyze potential competition. Basic setup: An incumbent firm sets its price. Then a potential entrant decides whether to enter and, if so, at what price. Consumers buy from the lower-priced firm.
E. Suppose TC=bQ. Then if Pi>b, the entrant enters and charges Pe= Pi -e, leaving the incumbent with 0 profits. The only NE is where the incumbent charges Pi=b and the entrant stays out.
F. What if the entrant has higher costs than the incumbent? Then the incumbent prices just below the entrant's costs.
G. What if there are fixed costs, so TC=a+bQ? Then P=b is no longer an equilibrium, because that implies profits of -a<0. In that case, the incumbent prices at AC instead of MC.
H. What if there is a sunk cost of a, followed by pricing decisions? Then the first-mover acts like a monopolist, since if entry occurs, both firms will compete price down to b, and both lose money.
I. What about simultaneous decisions to incur sunk costs? Analyze the following normal form.
-a, -a
0, Pm
VI. Allocative versus Productive Inefficiency
A. Most micro texts focus on the allocative inefficiency of monopoly.
A. Main intuition: Landsburg on "Why Taxes Are Bad." Units consumers buy anyway involve only a transfer; units that are no longer bought involve a deadweight loss.
B. Allocative inefficiencies are normally quite tiny, however, because they arise only on the marginal units, or DW loss "triangle."
C. Far less discussed: productive inefficiency. A situation is productively inefficient iff the AC of producing a given quantity is above the minimum AC.
D. Productive inefficiencies can easily be large, because they exist on ALL units produced, yielding a whole DW loss trapezoid.
E. With contestable monopoly and unequal costs, some allocative inefficiency persists, but no productive inefficiency.
F. In contrast, imagine an inefficient monopoly with a price cap at P=MC. There is no allocative inefficiency, but still productive inefficiency.
G. Government-created monopolies versus market monopolies: Both allow for allocative inefficiency, but the former have a strong potential for productive inefficiency as well.
VII. Predation, Entry Deterrence, and Mixed Strategies
A. "Predation" means many things to many people. What insight can game theory shed here?
B. Simplest model of predation: limit pricing. There are many potential producers with varying costs. The lowest-cost producer prices just below the costs of the second-lowest-cost producer, winning the whole market.
1. This probably happens frequently, with or without "predatory intent."
C. More interesting model: Incumbent prices high if no entry, low if entry; entrant decides whether to enter.
D. As discussed earlier, there are two NE: (Out, Fight) and (In, Accommodate). But (Out, Fight) is not subgame perfect. Once the entry happens, the incumbent is better off accommodating. The threat to predate is not credible; the incumbent would be "cutting off his nose to spite his face."
1. Less formal literature emphasizes that predation is especially costly to the incumbent; the game theoretic point is simply that even if predation is cheap, it is more expensive than accommodation.
E. What if predation game is infinitely repeated? Then predation is potentially sustainable. It all depends on the short-term cost of predation versus the long-run monopoly profits. (Here the standard arguments come into their own).
F. Big question about predation: Why can't "two play at that game"? In other words, why can't entrants predate against incumbents just as well as incumbents predate against entrants?
G. Natural solution: Mixed strategy. Returning to the previous normal form, note that in addition to the two PSNE, there is also a MSNE. Potential monopoly profits balance out potential losses of "destructive competition."
H. I maintain that the MS solution makes a lot more sense. There is no way to credibly commit to be In no matter what. The bigger the conditional benefit of being a monopoly, the more willing firms will be to try to win monopoly status.
VIII. Bertrand and Cournot Competition
A. The previous arguments rely heavily on what is known as Bertrand competition (and, to some degree, constant MC). Firms propose prices; all customers buy from the firm that offers the lowest price, and randomize between equal prices.
B. In equilibrium, the most (productively) efficient firm takes the whole market, and charges just below the price of the second-most efficient firm. P=MC if at least two firms can produce in the most productively efficient way.
C. Bertrand competition strongly undermines the perfectly competitive benchmark. It shows that you can get perfectly competitive outcomes with just TWO firms.
D. Perhaps because of this result, many economists prefer the Cournot model of oligopoly. Cournot assumed that firms set quantities rather than prices. The price then independently adjusts to clear the market.
E. Formally, define Q as the sum of all N firms' q's, suppose P=a-bQ, and firms' MC=0. Bertrand competition predicts a price of 0 for all N. What does Cournot predict?
F. Each firm maximizes Pqi-MCqi=. So they set: , which gives the optimal response of firm i given the behavior of all the other firms.
G. Natural solution: Look for the symmetric NE, where all firms produce the same q. Then , so , and .
H. Now Q goes to the perfectly competition level a/b as N goes to infinity. Q falls as N falls even though each firm thinks only of itself and makes no effort to collude.
I. Big weakness of Cournot: Firms would want to split! Under these assumptions, an infinite N would arise endogenously.
J. If you add a fixed cost for each firm, it can also be proven that Cournot competition with free entry is not even second-best. Imposing a zero-profit condition implies an inefficiently large number of firms.
K. Once again, though, if one firm could credibly commit to expand its output and take over the whole market, you would reach the second-best (P=AC) outcome.

Week 4!
This whole mission so far has been a complete whirlwind!
Anyways, this week has been great! Sister Harp and I have been working really hard, lots and lots of finding. They do lots of street displays here, and we've done two so far. Its where you put up a table and poster, and get your district together to proselyte in a busy public area, such as town center. It was pretty intimidating at first, but luckly we've done tonnns of street contacting already, that I think we are ready to go prooo! haha no but seriously, it has helped a lot to not be afraid to talk to people. And our district is so fun! I love them all! We always have a good time, and work hard together. It's great :) blessings! We have found a lot of new potential investigators, and have several appointments set up for this next week, but at this point, Steffan is still our only investigator. But that's ok, because he rocks! We invited him to be baptized and he said yes! YAY! So yeah, it's just so amazing to have this experience for the first time- teaching and seeing how the spirit is the real teacher. Seeing him learn and grow, and keep his commitments. Also it's so great to see the change in myself through this process. How my testimony is strengthened as I share it. Seeing him growing and learning helps me learn and grow as well- pretty good stuff huh?
It's been a great week, lots of fun things going on, and our ward is great! But we have a lot to do still, lots of goals have been set and I CANNOT wait to get working on them!
Love love love you all!

|Dangerspouse Rides Again
Garage - Track
Feb. 15, 2005 - 3:40 p.m.
Counter Terrorism
Or "Why I Haven't Been Able To Update This Time (No.37 in a series)"
NewWifey(tm): "Honey, where are you?"
Dangerspouse: "...............hiding."
NewWifey(tm): "Good boy."
I know when I'm not wanted.
In early December NewWifey(tm) joined the ranks of the unemployed when she either: a) could not turn her personal ethics switch to "off" when management ordered her to kill baby ducks, or b) could not bend over far enough to allow management unrestricted and unlubricated access to her colon...depending on who's story you chose to believe. Either choice was uncomfortable for her (although "b" less so, now that she's married). So she quit.
I wasn't particulary thrilled the morning she sprang the news of her departure on me, coming as it did in the thick of the Christmas Charge Card season. But she is my wife, so I supported her decision. If I recall, my exact words were "There there Snookums, it's not your fault. God just made you gals too weak to handle workplace stresses. It's more proof that a woman's place is in the home."
When I was able to squint out of my swollen left eye again I saw that NewWifey(tm) had stomped off and was now unloading lumber from her SUV. It looked like she had stopped at Home Depot on her way home from that last day at work and wiped them out of all the Old Growth products she could find.
"Um...honey, what's with all the wood?" I asked.
"I've decided I hate our kitchen" she said. "So I'm gonna build a new one."
I watched as she unloaded boxes of wood flooring panels, three lengths of counter top, several crates labled "Light Fixture", and plank after plank of different length lumber. When she was done the entire length of driveway was covered, and I had a sick feeling in my stomach.
"So does this mean you're not gonna go out and look for another job right away?"
"I'm too weak to handle workplace stresses, remember? Now get out of my way so I can haul this shit inside."
The next day she got up early and started smashing things. At least, that's what it looked like to me. The book cases she had only recently completed were dragged into the dining room, the layer of vinyl flooring was stripped to the sub-floor, wallpaper was peeled off in jagged strips, and cabinet doors, moulding, door frames and light fixtures lay scattered in piles around the stove and fridge.
Alas, immediately afterwards her Magnum Opus had to be put on hold. The next day she left to visit her sister in Charlotte for three days, but because of circumstances (detailed in an earlier entry) she ended up being stuck for three weeks, missing Christmas. I knew if I disturbed anything during that time I'd be a dead man on her return, so I was forced to cook on one leg, twisted at a 30 degree angle to accomodate two kitchen cabinets which had been ripped from the wall and were now partially blocking my oven door.
When she finally got back, more bad news. After stripping off mounds of ugly pre-war wallpaper, NewWifey(tm) determined that several of the walls were bad. I thought she was just looking for any excuse to use the reciprocating saw I got her for her birthday, but I wasn't about to advance that theory to her face since she was holding the damn thing and I knew what it could do when wielded in anger. Have you ever seen a live cow stuffed into a wood chipper? Just like that.
Then, when the drywall was cut away and those vertical stud thingies were all exposed, she determined that she didn't like the way the wires were routed. Her grand scheme called for the light fixtures not only to be changed, but to be moved as well.
To be moved 3 inches to the left.
NewWifey(tm) has a thing about symmetry. When she measured the old light and discovered that one side was 70 inches from the wall, and the other side was 76 inches (to the opposite wall) she couldn't sleep that night. I swear to god, we've lived at Dangerhouse for almost 5 years now, and up until last week when she whipped out that tape measure I would have wagered you a Corgi that the light fixtures were centered in the room.
But no. They weren't. And so NewWifey(tm) maniacally spent the next day crawling through a sea of itchy pink insulation in our attic in order to install a stud between two joists (don't ask me what any of that means, I'm just repeating by rote what I heard 5,728 times over the course of 6 hours). Then she drilled down though the ceiling, threaded mounting rods and wires back to the attic, and yes, moved the fixture base 3 fucking inches to the left.
We now have, and I can prove it to .001" tolerance (she's got a laser level/ruler), EXACTLY 73 inches between the ends of our new light fixtures and the corrosponding far wall.
Hooray, hooray.
This meant, of course, an additional span of time where I had to contort myself in order to cook even the simplist of dishes. Plus, you had to brush a layer of sawdust, asbestos and dioxin off any dish I prepared. This got hard when I made soup, but I ended up just stirring it in and she never noticed. Very inconvenient, I can tell you.
I hear a number of you ladies - and more than a few toolbelt girded Real Men - saying, "Yo, Dickface. Why not grab a circular saw and help the poor girl if you want the project done faster?"
You've never been married to my wife, have you.
Trust me on this one. Unless you're a General Contractor with at least 10 years of on-site experience, she doesn't want your help. And since I still have to refer to the manual to figure out which end of the screwdriver to use, my life would be immediately forfeit if she saw me so much as LOOK at a wire cap.
And frankly, that's fine with me.
One of the reasons I agreed to marry NewWifey(tm) in the first place, aside from her policy of unrestricted 3-input access, was her willingness to take on chores that I would gladly contract cervical cancer in order to get out of doing.
I hate, I mean absolutely loath, working with tools. I don't know how I came to this shameful state, but it's been this way since I was a little kid. In 6th grade when my buddies were figuring out how to hotwire their parents' cars, I was inside stealing the butter out of their fridge to make Hollandaise sauce. I learned just enough to fix my motorcycles, then stopped forever. I am so bad with tools I wouldn't even meet the minimum skill level required to work in an unregulated Chinese coal mine. (Come to think of it, are there any regulated Chinese coal mines?)
Needless to say then, I've been about as welcome in my own kitchen during this period of renovation as a priest in a Day Care center. Every day for the last week and a half I have pulled Stanley into the garage, walked through the door to the basement, and stayed there. I have my Playstation, my free weights, a heavy bag, a speed bag, bike rollers, and a massive stereo down there. Plus a 6,000 acre bathroom just outside my door when the need arises, and 4 pizza delivery joints on speed dial.
Now that I think of it, there really is no reason to come up even after the kitchen is finished.
Oh yeah...that policy of unrestricted 3-input access she grants me.
Never mind.
I would have been equally happy to hole up in front of my monitor and provide blow-by-blow accounts of all the hammer blows to you folks here at D-Land. But all the lumber, counter tops, flooring, wallboard, paint, rollers, adzes, derricks, and whatever the hell else she needed to turn our kitchen from "green grey" to "grey green" were stored in...the computer room.
Now this would not normally mean a disruption of Dangerspouse entries. I would just post entries from work. However several weeks ago the Evil Overlords at Souless Radio Conglomorite, Inc. decided to install some sort of paranoid right wing tracking program on all our computers. Not that they think any of us are surfing for underage farm animal porn or anything, but...they know who they're dealing with. So they're taking no chances.
I've been able to get around this Orwellian conundrum a bit by using an ISP blocker so I can at least cruise around and read my favorite diaries at work. But I can't ADD an entry of my own (according to the IT guy I bribed with a farm porn URL). So that means I have to update from home.
Where my computer has been buried by This Old Spouse.
But... you can see I have now updated.
Free at last, free at last! Thank Lowe's almighty, free at last!
We now have "dry sage" walls in our kitchen (two of which are new walls), some faux marble counter tops, two new - and repositioned - light fixtures, a new wood floor, new wiring, and some other shit she told me about but I'd already tuned her out at that point. Crown molding, I think. But I could be wrong. It might have been Crown Royal, for all I know (if only).
There are a few things still stored in the Computer Room that need to be hammered and cursed into place in the kitchen - trim, and a few decorative gee-gaws - but nothing I can't weave around after lacing up a pair of toe shoes. Computer, ho!
And now here I am just blathering off the top of my head about something even I don't find particularly intersting. Oh well, you paint what you see.
Oooh! Oooh!
Speaking of - here's what I saw when I walked in the door the other day:
It's NewWifey(tm)'s ass!
In response to having her unkempt, torn-sweats-clad ass being put on display in such an unflattering fashion, NewWifey(tm) graced me with her usual ladylike response:
My funny Valentine.....
Ok, well, that's it for this episode. In honor of having my stove back, I've made Chinese steamed and roasted glazed duck (it was that or leftover pizza. NewWifey(tm) threatened a blood soaked revolt if she had to eat pizza again, so duck it was). And it's just ready to come out of the oven now.
Oh, before I go, a quick joke.
NewWifey(tm) kept the "Blue Collar Comedian Tour" on the tube in the background for a few hours while she worked yesterday. Being a classy broad, and all. At one point she came running down the stairs and yelled to me:
"Hey! Do you know what 'Tulsa' spelled backwards is?"
"Uh....um.... no." (I'm terrible under pressure.)
"It's 'a slut'! I never knew that!"
"Wow. How about that."
"Yeah. And do you know what 'a slut' done backwards is?"
I fell for it. "...what?"
"A hundred bucks extra!" She screamed with glee and ran back up the stairs to start pile driving again.
Thank god for 3-input availability or I'd be on a tramp steamer bound for Algeria this time tomorrow. "Vive la Legionnaires!"

Topic: Adi2-PRO Foobar DSD playback
Hi all,
I am looking for the correct settings of the DSD playback in Foobar2000 using Adi2-PRO.
I have used the following instructions:
https://diyaudioheaven.wordpress.com/di … n-v-0-9-x/
But this is still very confusing as there are so many options. What is the optimal way to playback DSD?
Right now subjectively the best sounding is DSD:ASIO:ASIO MadIface USB output mode but it seems that the SR is getting capped at 176,4Khz instead of 2822400 Hz. State overview shows DSD as beeing used.

The Secret Life of Houdini
with William Kalush
"Kalush and Sloman appear to have raked through every known Houdini archive to produce the most comprehensive and controversial biography ever written about the man, with its contention that he was a spy who may have been murdered by a cult."
–Tony Barrell, London Sunday Times
Scar Tissue
with Anthony Kiedis
Scar Tissue is Anthony Kiedis's searingly honest memoir of a life spent in the fast lane. In 1983, four self-described "knuckleheads" burst out of the mosh-pitted mosaic of the neo-punk rock scene in L.A. with their own unique brand of cosmic hardcore mayhem funk. Over twenty years later, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, against all odds, have become one of the most successful bands in the world. Though the band has gone through many incarnations, Anthony Kiedis, the group's lyricist and dynamic lead singer, has been there for the whole roller-coaster ride.

I'm new to VB and am writing a basic revenue calculator for class and for some reason I can't get it to display the computed values in the label fields when I run the form. I've been through the example code provide to me, my textbook, google (how I found DaniWeb), and I've been over the code probably 50 times and the problem just isn't jumping out at me and it doesn't generate any errors or trigger the try catch, so I'm asking for fresh eye. Please don't just correct the code, I'm not looking for someone to do my homework just a nudge in the right direction from someone with a little more experience so I can learn for myself. Now for the Code:

sngRevenueA = CSng(intClassA * int_CLASS_A_PRICE)

What Leading Out support and services have you enjoyed, or have assisted you, the most?
The Leading Out services are first class services that every traveling teacher should take advantage of. All the services have assisted me in a stress free transition, from being picked up at the airport, to having a network of Canadian teachers to make me feel at home, everything about this program has exceeded my expectations and would recommend this program to anyone wanting to travel and teach.
My girlfriend and I were very nervous about leaving Canada and teaching in a new country. Leading out made this transition pain free. We e-mailed They were extremely helpful and would reply almost immediately. We were picked up at the airport, then set us up with our banking information and cell phones all within one hour of being in Australia. what service!! All the tedious things that must be done will get done right away. We also took advantage of the accommodation that is great, new, clean, everything's included and have its own gym. My girlfriend and I have enjoyed living in house so much we have signed a lease until we leave. The excursions that Leading Out plans are a great way to meet people so go on them.
Tips for International Teachers?
If you are coming to teach in Australia go through the Leading Out program. You get to relax and enjoy your holiday and they help you with everything. Do not panic if you get here and want to go home in the first couple days. Melbourne is a great city but takes a couple weeks to warm up to. Once you are settled and recovered from jet lag you will begin to love the city and the things to do. Take advantage of your time off and travel. If you do not have a car get a month public transportation pass right away, it will save you money. Be prepared for the Melbourne weather. It is not always hot like you may believe. In the summer it is hot in Melbourne and can get up to 40 degrees but in the winter it is cold and you will need sweaters and jackets. Buy an umbrella it can be sunny in Melbourne and then two seconds later it can be raining so be prepared. There are so many festivals and events going on in Melbourne make sure you stay informed.
The best place travelled within Australia:
The best trip I have been on so far has been the Leading Out excursion to the Yarra Valley for wine tasting. This was a great experience that was cheap, fun and a great way to meet the Leading Out crew. I would also recommend going to Jan Juc beach which is just a little more than an hours drive away or a two hour train / bus ride. This beach is nice and has the biggest waves I have ever seen! You must try surfing, you can get a lesson for $55 and this will get you all the gear and 3 to 4 hours of surfing. So fun, it's a must do!! Rent a car and take two or three days and drive the great ocean road. You will not be disappointed!! Melbourne is a great city and I recommend spending a couple days just walking around the city and alley ways, there are so many neat and cool places hidden away. There is always something going on in Melbourne so it is impossible to get bored or run out of new things to try.
What have you enjoyed most about teaching in Victoria?
I have enjoyed the whole experience of teaching in Melbourne. The schools are great, the staff is great, and the pay is better than in Canada. The transition has been stress free.
Victorian schools offer you more freedom in the classroom compared to Canadian schools. It's a much more laid back atmosphere and I find the material you teach or your methods of teaching are not monitored as closely. I have enjoyed this and have tried lessons that I never would have had the courage to do in Canada. There is great support for graduate teachers and they have a mentor programs. The biggest change would not be with the school or structure but with the personality of the students and staff. Australians I find are very easy going and stress free people (for the most part). As a result, the classrooms are not as structured but no less productive. Report writing is completely different so make sure to start it early and ask questions. Another change, for the better is the amount of time off you get when teaching here. You get two weeks off after every three months and then a month holiday at Christmas time. This is a great way to break up terms and travel. Teaching in Victorian has been an enjoyable experience and I would recommend it!

Brotherhood based on blood relationships, brotherhood based on regions, on race, on caste, on creeds, etc. – But all these types of brotherhood – they are limited. Islam believes in Universal Brotherhood. It does not believe that human beings have been created in castes or in different levels. And I started my talk by quoting a Verse from the Glorious Qur'an, from Surah Hujurat, Chapter No. 49, Verse No. 13, which describes the Islamic concept of Universal Brotherhood, in the best way. It says that… 'O human kind, We have created you from a single pair of male and female, and have divided you into nations and tribes, so that you shall recognize each other, not that you shall despise each other, and the most honoured in the sight of Allah (swt) is the person who has Taqwa – and Allah is all knowing, full of knowledge, and well acquainted with all things.' This Verse of the Glorious Qur'an says that…'O humankind, We have created you from a single pair of male and female' – that means the whole human race originates from a single pair of male and female. All the human beings in the world – they have a common grandparent. And Allah (swt) says that We have divided the human race into nations and tribes, so that they shall recognize each other, not that they shall despise and fight amongst themselves.' And the criteria for judgment, in the sight of Allah (swt) – this verse says… 'Does not depend on sex, caste, colour, creed or wealth – but it depends, on Taqwa – that is God consciousness, that is piety, that is righteousness. Anyone who is more righteous, who is more pious, who is more God-conscious, is honored in the sight of Allah (swt) – and Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted with all things. Further the Glorious Qur'an says in Surah Ar-Rum, Ch. No. 30, V. No. 22, that… 'And amongst His signs, is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variation in your languages, and your colors. Verily in that, is a sign for those who know' The Glorious Qur'an says that Allah (swt) has created various types of languages and different colors; black human being, white, brown, yellow – and these are signs. These variations in color and language, is not to despise each other, because every language that you have on the face of the earth – it is a beautiful language. It may sound funny, if it is unique to you – you may not have heard that language before – it may sound funny – but those people who speak that language, for them it is the most beautiful language. So Allah says… 'He has created various languages and colors, so that you may recognize, you may know each other. And the Glorious Qur'an says in Surah Israa, Ch. No. 17, V. No. 70 that… 'Allah (swt)… Almighty God, has honored the children of Adam.' Allah does not say that He has honored only the Arabs or the Americans or a particular race – but Almighty God has honored all the children of Adam, irrespective of race, caste, color, creed or sex. And there are many faiths; there are many religions, which believe that the humankind has originated from a single pair – that is Adam and Eve (peace be upon them). But there are some faiths, which say, that it is because of the sin of the woman… that is Eve (May Allah be pleased with her) that the human beings are born in sin – And they put the blame only on the woman, that is Eve, for the downfall of human beings. In fact the Qur'an speaks about the story of Adam and Eve (peace be upon them) in several places – but in all the places, the blame is equally put on both of them – Adam and Eve (peace be upon them). And if you read Surah Araf, Ch. No. 7: V, No. 19 to 27…'Adam and Eve (peace be upon them), they are addressed more than a dozen of times'. And the Qur'an says that…'both of them disobeyed Allah (swt)… Almighty God – both of them repented, and both were forgiven'. Both are equally blamed for the mistake – there is not a single verse in the Glorious Qur'an, which puts the blame only on Eve (May Allah be pleased with her). But there is a Verse in the Glorious Qur'an in Surah Taha, Ch. No.20, V. No. 121, which says that Adam (pbuh) disobeyed Allah (swt). But if you read the Qur'an, both are equally blamed for not obeying Allah (swt) – they both repented and they both were forgiven. And certain faiths – they say that…'Because Eve disobeyed Allah (swt) and is responsible for the sin of humankind' – which Islam does not agree – 'Allah (swt) cursed the woman, and said that she will bear labor pains.' That means – Pregnancy is a curse, according to some people – which Islam does not agree at all. The Glorious Qur'an, Surah Nisa, Ch. No. 4, V. No. 1, says… 'Respect the womb that bore you.' In Islam, pregnancy does not degrade a woman – it uplifts a woman. And the Qur'an says in Surah Luqman, Ch. 31, V. No. 14, that… 'O humankind, We have enjoined on you, to be good to your parents. In travail upon travail, did your mother bore him, and in years twain, was his weaning.' The Qur'an says in Surah, Ahqaf, Ch. 46, V. No. 15…'we have enjoined on the human beings to be kind to the parents. In pain did his mother bore him, and in pain did she give him birth.' Pregnancy uplifts a woman – it does not degrade her. And in Islam, men and women are equal. And according to a Hadith which is mentioned in Sahih Bukhari, Vol.No. 8, in the Book of Adab, Ch. No. 2, H. No. 2… 'A person came to the Prophet Mohammed (saw)… Mohammed (pbuh), and asked him that… 'Who is the person who deserves the maximum love and championship in this world?' And the Prophet said…'Your mother.' The man asked…'who next?' The Prophet said… 'Your mother.' The man asked… 'After that who?' The Prophet repeated for the third time… 'Your mother.' The man asked… 'After that who?' Then the Prophet said… 'Your father.' In short 75%, ¾of the love and companionship of the children are due to the mother. 25%, ¼of the love and companionship goes to the father. In short, the mother gets the gold medal, she gets the silver medal, as well as the bronze medal – The father has to be satisfied with a mere consolation prize. These are the teachings of Islam. In Islam, men and women are equal – but equality does not mean identicality.
There are many misconceptions – especially when women are concerned in Islam. Many Muslims and Non Muslims – they have a misconception, which can be removed if you understand the authentic sources – Qur'an and the Sahih Hadith, correctly. As I mentioned, men and women are overall equal – But equality does not mean identicality. Let me give you an example – that if in a class of students, two students – Student 'A' and 'B' – they came out first – and both acquire 80 marks out of 100. But if you analyze the answer sheet, there are 10 questions, each carrying 10 marks. In the first answer student 'A' gets 9 out of 10, student 'B' gets 7 out of 10, so in question 1 student 'A' has a degree of advantage, than student 'B'. In question 2, student 'B' gets 9 out of 10, and student 'A' gets 7 out of 10 – In question 2, student 'B' has a degree of advantage, than student 'A'. In the remaining 8 questions, both get 8 out of 10 – and if you total the marks of both the students, both get 80 out of 100. So if you analyze, both student 'A' and 'B' are over all equal. But in the answers to some questions, student 'A' has a degree of advantage – In answers to some questions, student 'B' has a degree of advantage – but overall, both are equal. Similarly in Islam, men and women are equal. Brotherhood in Islam does not only mean that the same sexes are equal. The 'Universal Brotherhood' in Islam means, that besides race, caste, and creed, even the sex is overall equal. Men and women are equal in Islam – but in some aspects, the men have a degree of advantage – In some aspects, the women have a degree of advantage – but overall both are equal. For example, if a robber enters my house, I will not say that… 'I believe in women's right… I believe in women's liberation – therefore my sister, my wife, my mother, should go and fight the robber.' Because Allah says in Surah Nisa, Ch. 4, V 34, that… 'Allah has given men, more strength than the other' – that is, men have more strength than the women.' So where strength is concerned, the men have a degree of advantage – so since they have been given more strength, it is their duty to protect the women – Here the men have a degree of advantage. Where love and companionship is concerned, where children should give to their parents – the women have a degree of advantage – As I mentioned earlier, the mother gets three times more respect and companionship, than the father. Here the women have a degree of advantage – but overall if you analyze, men and women are equal in Islam. The concept of Almighty God in Islam, of Allah (swt), is not that Almighty God… Allah (swt), is the deity of a particular race or a particular group of people. But the Qur'an says in Surah Fatihah, Ch. No.1, V. No. 2 'Praise be to the Lord of worlds.' Almighty God is referred to as 'Rabbil Aalamin' the Lord of the worlds.' And the last Surah of the Glorious Qur'an, that is, Surah Nas, Ch. 114, V. No.1 'That say: I Seek refuge with the Lord of humankind'. Almighty God… Allah (swt) is the Lord of the whole of humankind – not of a particular group of people, or a particular race.And there are various Verses in the Glorious Qur'an which begin by saying 'O humankind' ' And even the two Verses I quoted in the beginning of my talk – they began with …(Arabic)… 'O humankind.' And the Glorious Qur'an also says in Surah Baqarah, Ch. No. 2, V. No. 168 'Oh humankind, eat of what is on the earth, good and lawful for you, and follow not the footsteps of the devil, for he is to you an avowed enemy.' Islam – in order for Universal Brotherhood to prevail in the world, it has a moral code… it has a moral law, which helps in Universal Brotherhood prevailing throughout the world, throughout the Universe. The Qur'an says in Surah Maidah, Ch. No.5, V. No. 32, that…'If anyone kills a person unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land, it is as though he has killed the whole nation – all the people. And if any person saves a life, it is as though he has saved the whole of humankind – all the people.' The Qur'an says that if any person kills any human being – whether it be a Muslim or Non Muslim – it does not specify the race or caste or color or creed – If any person kills any human being, unless it be for murder, or for spreading mischief in the land, it is as though he has killed the whole of humanity. And if any one saves an human being, whether it be a Muslim or Non Muslim, from any caste, colour or creed, it as though he has saved the whole of humankind. The Qur'an has various laws of moral conduct, so that Universal Brotherhood will prevail throughout the Universe. The Glorious Qur'an says that… 'No one should ever rob – it is a crime, it is a sin.' Islam has a system of Zakat – that is, any rich person who has a saving of more than the Nisab level, 85 grams of gold – he or she should give 2.5 percent of that saving, every lunar year in charity. If every human being in the world gives Zakat, poverty will be eradicated from this world – there will not be a single human being who will die of hunger. And the Glorious Qur'an says, that…'You should love and help your neighbours.' The Qur'an says in Surah Ma'un, Ch. No. 107, V. No. 1 to 7, That… 'Seeth thou not the person who denies the day of judgement, and deals the orphan with harshness, and encourages not the feeding of the indigent. Woe to those who are neglectful of their prayers, woe to those who pray only to be seen of men, who do not even provide neighbourly assistance.' The Qur'an says that… 'Woe to those people who do not even provide neighbourly assistance.' And our beloved Prophet Mohammed (sws) said that…'He is not a Muslim, who sleeps with his full stomach, while his neighbours are hungry.' That means, any person who sleeps with his full stomach… that means… had a good meal, while his neighbours are hungry, is not following the commandments of Allah, and His Rasul. The Glorious Qur'an says that… 'Do not be a spendthrift.' The Qur'an says in Surah Israa, Ch. No. 17, V. No. 26 and 27, that… 'Do not squander your wealth like that of a spendthrift, for verily spendthrifts are the brothers of the evil one… of the Satan.' If you are a spendthrift, you are bound to disturb the Universal Brotherhood – because but natural, if a person squanders, it creates animosity, it creates enmity, it creates envy between the brothers. A person should not rob, a person should give charity, a person should provide neighbourly assistance – all these are moral conducts, mentioned in the Glorious Qur'an. The Qur'an further says that…'You should not bribe.' The Qur'an says in Surah Baqarah, Ch. No. 2, V. No. 188, that… 'Spend not your wealth on vanities and do not use it as a bait for judges, in order that you may eat somebody else's property.' That means… 'Do not use your wealth to bribe the people, so that you may eat up other people's wealth' – Islam does not agree in eating up your brother's wealth. And the Glorious Qur'an says in Surah Maidah, Ch. No. 5, V. No. 90 'Oh you who believe Most certainly intoxicants and gambling dedication of stones, divination of arrows these are Satan's handiwork Abstain from this handiwork, that you may proper.'The Glorious Qur'an says that… 'Abstain from having intoxicants, alcohol, drugs, from gambling, from dedication of stones, divination of arrows – all these are Satan's handiwork.' And we know that intoxicants are one root cause for various evils in the society – it prevents the Universal Brotherhood form prevailing. And according to statistics – it tells us that… 'In America, on an average everyday, more than one thousand nine hundred cases of rape take place – and in most of the cases, either the victim or the rapist, is intoxicated.' The statistics of America tell us that… 'There is 8% of incest in America.' That means, every 12th or 13th person you come across in America, he has committed incest – that is, having sexual relationship with close relatives – father and daughter, son and mother, brother and sister – and majority… almost all the cases, it is under the state of intoxication. AIDS is spreading in the world – one of the reason is intoxicants. Therefore the Qur'an says…'Intoxicants and gambling – it is a Satan's handiwork – Abstain form this handiwork, that you may prosper.' If you abstain from these evil things, Universal Brotherhood will be helped in prevailing throughout the Universe.

Melbourne's Yarra Trams has just inked a A$2.6 million (NZ$3 million) deal for asset, service and mobility management software.
The goal is to improve its maintenance services and secure an additional 22 million passenger trips over five years.
The Maximo Enterprise Suite product, from MRO Software (which is being acquired by IBM) includes Enterprise Asset Management, Maximo Service Desk and Maximo Mobility. The package will manage service-level agreements, and integrate mobile devices such as PDAs and laptops into the asset-management framework.
Yarra Trams chief executive, Dennis Cliche, says maintenance of tram carriages (rolling stock), which previously used a variety of manual systems, will slot mobile and remote technicians into the management system.
"Up until now, we've been relying on various disparate and largely paper-based systems inherited from several mergers and restructures," he says.
"Of special interest to Yarra Trams is the ability to integrate mobile devices such as PDAs and laptops into the overall asset-management framework.
"With a fleet of almost 500 trams travelling more than 22.5 million kms each year, the maintenance of rolling stock is core to Yarra Trams."
The system will go live in November and will be deployed in three phases, covering rolling stock, infrastructure and deployment of the Maximo Service Desk at the operations centre. MRO Australia country manager Adrian Hocking says the system will ensure consistency across the company's maintenance and servicing activities, and will eliminate reliance on manual paper-based systems, providing accurate records for asset performance evaluation purposes.

YGGDRASIL, in Scandinavian mythology, the mystical ash tree which symbolizes existence, and binds together earth,. heaven and hell. It is the tree of life, of knowledge, of fate, of time and of space. Its three roots go down into the three great realms—(I) of death, where, in the well Hvergelmer, the dragon Nidhug (Nibhoggr) and his brood are ever gnawing it; (2) of the giants, where, in the fountain of Mimer, is the source of wisdom; (3) of the gods, Asgard, where, at the sacred fountain of Urd, is the divine tribunal, and the dwelling of the Fates. The stem of Yggdrasil upholds the earth, while its branches overshadow the world and reach up beyond the heavens. On its topmost bough sits an eagle, between whom and Nidhug the squirrel Ratatoskx runs to and fro trying to provoke strife. Honey-dew falls from the tree, and on it Odin hung nine nights, offering himself to himself. G. Vigfusson and York Powell (Corpus Poelicum Boreale, Oxford, 1883) see in Yggdrasil not a primitive Norse idea, but one due to early contact with Christianity, and a fanciful adaptation of the cross. YO-CHOW FU, a prefectural city in the Chinese province of Hu-nan, standing on high ground E. of the outlet of Tungt'ing Lake, in 29° 18' N., 113° 2' E. Pop. about 20,000. It was opened to foreign trade in 1899. The actual settlement is at Chinling-ki, a village 51 M. below Yo-chow and half a mile from the Yangtsze. From Yo-chow the cities of Chang sha and Chang to are accessible for steam vessels drawing 4 to 5 ft. of water by means of the Tung-t'ing Lake and its affluents, the Siang and Yuen rivers. The district in which Yo-chow Fu stands is the ancient habitat of the aboriginal San Miao tribes, who were deported into S.W. China, and who, judging from some non-Chinese festival customs of the people, would appear to have left traditions behind them. The present city, which was built in 1371, is about 3 m. in circumference and is entered by four gates. The walls are high and well built, but failed to keep out the T'aip'ing rebels in 18J3, Situated between Tung-t'ing Lake and the Yangtsze-kiang, Yo-chow Fu forms a depot for native products destined for export, and for foreign goods on their way inland. The net value of the total trade of the port in 1906 was 747,000 taels.End of Article: YGGDRASIL

Short story - I didn't receive the gold I thought I should get for a Combat Reconnaissance mission. I put in a support ticket. The replies from Wargaming staff don't inspire confidence. Staff names omitted for their privacy
Staff #1 asked for screenshot in-game. I only had battle result pics and sent them along
Staff #2 asked for a game replay and gave instructions on how to enable in-game recording
Staff#3 replied that it seems there isn't in-game recording
Staff#4 replied that the map I played didn't have a Mining Plant. I sent a screenshot from this morning showing same map, same tier with a Mining Plant
Staff#2 replied with instructions on how to provide a recording
Doesn't bode well for game development when the support staff aren't even familiar with the basic features of the game. GP, Priolla any comment?

I recently received payments from inPostLink, a paid to blog site which pays you a month after you have posted the paid articles. There are tons of paid opportunities here that costs from $.50 to $6.00, well there maybe higher ones but this is so far the pay rates I received.
Below are my proof of payments. I decided to just give you a thumbnail view of my Paypal account because I might be flagged if I post all 7 detailed payments.
There are many legit opportunities online, all you have to do is look and ask around. If you can't do this and you don't have lots of patience, then you won't get far. Now, if you have blogs, why not try inPostLink, opportunities are waiting for you.

I'm a member of an awesome website called BzzAgent. Occasionally they will send me an invitation to join a campaign and test and review new products and services. Recently I was invited to try out and review the new Schick Hydro Silk razor.
I'm so, so in love with this razor! I was a bit skeptical at first, but this razor has truly proven it's worth! In the past, I've had razor burn and nicks no matter what kind of razor or shaving gel I've used. I used my new razor this morning, and I didn't not have the slightest bit of irritation. My legs feel smooth and silky, with no bumps or redness! I definitely recommend this razor!
I am a BzzAgent and was provided with a free sample of this product to test and review. All opinions stated here are my own.

This study measures 44 different automotive technologies among 13 technology categories and also includes a deep dive into consumer views on the connected car. The study focused on advanced and emerging automotive technologies, examining the latest industry trends and uncovering the reasons behind them. The survey was conducted during the second quarter of 2016 and included nearly 12,000 U.S. new car buyers and looked at 44 auto-related technologies.Consumers are increasingly excited about vehicle technologies, but a lack of familiarity with connected vehicles and lingering privacy concerns remain as obstacles."Consumers are becoming more interested in advanced automotive technologies than ever before and are increasingly factoring these technologies into their purchasing decisions," says Mike VanNieuwkuyk, vice president, Nielsen Automotive, in a release. "Manufacturers need to continue to educate auto shoppers about the technologies that appeal to their personal interests and desires in order to distinguish their products from competitive options and build stronger brand loyalty with these tech savvy consumers."

MAC Hello Kitty & Kitty Couture Part 4
YAY! MAC HELLO KITTY GOES ON SALE ONLINE TOMORROW!! - So I thought I would post an interesting article I saw. Read on:
MAC Cosmetics has teamed up with Sanrio Global Consumer Products to create a Hello Kitty color cosmetics collection.
The line will arrive on MAC's Web site Feb. 10, in North American stores on Feb. 12 and into overseas stores in March.
"MAC has been mining pop culture since the brand was founded," said John Demsey, group president of the Estée Lauder Cos. Inc. "This is a sexy and innocent fashion line, and a true MAC moment. In these times, everyone can use a little fun — and a little Kitty."
While the 34-year-old Hello Kitty character is usually assumed to be a cat, she is actually a girl, according to Sanrio. And a girl without a mouth, so she "speaks from the heart," the company said. "She may not have a mouth, but she's going to sell a lot of lipstick," cracked Demsey, noting that a waiting list for the items will go live on Jan. 7 at maccosmetics.com.
"To me, MAC Hello Kitty embodies the ultimate beauty icon," said Jennifer Balbier, senior vice president of product development for MAC Worldwide. "She's sweet and sexy, slightly edgy, and appeals to a wide range of customers. We wanted to reflect that through a sweet side, but also something slightly mischievous when it came to the colors. I started out by creating a palette of pinks, since they fit and always trend well in the spring. And this look is so much about the eyes that we did two eye shadow quads." The Lucky Tom quad has violet blue, brown, gold and pink-coral shades, while the Too Dolly palette has mint, blue-silver, pale pink and magenta shades.
"We incorporated glitter eyeliners because she loves anything that twinkles, and we took the coral and hot pink theme and did pretty, poppy [colored] blush," added Balbier.
While this collection is intended to have a sophisticated presentation, MAC hopes to appeal to younger fans with two shades of lip conditioners.
The Hello Kitty offerings fall into two collections: the Hello Kitty Colour Collection and the more high-end Hello Kitty Kouture. The bulk of the items are in the former category: six shades of lipstick with names like Fashion Mews and Strayin', each $14; six Lipglass shades, each $14; and two tinted lip conditioners, $14.50 each; two eye shadow palettes, which each contain four shades and retail for $38; two shades of pigment are $19.50 each, and two Reflects Glitter stockkeeping units — one blue, one pink — are $17.50 each. Four Glitter Eye Liners, each $16.50, two shades of Beauty Powder, each $22; three shades of nail polish, each $11; a black mascara, $12, and false lashes, $12, round out the color offerings. Shades range from pinks and turquoises to lavenders and greens.

I talk to many Pharmacists and visit quite a few. I believe I have met a few real community pharmacists who talk the talk and walk the walk and have developed an understanding of community pharmacy practice. Surprisingly some have been older and some very young – it is safe to say that age doesn't matter – it is understanding and passion that counts.
- There are some features that are clear. I can't remember the exact words, but I will give you the drift.
- I am located on the counter – I have delegated all dispensing to my team – every prescription comes in through me and out through me. My customers know me and I know them.
- I create time to talk to 'my' customers, check their understanding, ask about progress and offer some help and advice about associated symptoms and other common complaints, usually while their prescription is being expertly dispensed. I try to be proactive in helping them.
- I haven't sold a perfume or lipstick for years – I simply don't stock them. Everything I stock is related to healthcare. I maintain a professional healthcare environment.
- I have some special products that I believe are good. I always ask how people get on with the treatment that I have offered. It builds the relationship and I learn – I can adjust my advice and the products I source to fit customer needs. You have to keep learning.
- My local General Practice asks me for pharmaceutical advice – of course they pay – they get good value from me and they know it.
- I take on services that are commissioned – I like to be one of their high performing pharmacies. They often come to me to pilot new services before they are offered more widely.
- I love being a pharmacist – my profession allows me to make a real impact on people's lives.
So there you are – older pharmacists who have always done it like this and younger pharmacists who know it is the right thing to do. I don't pretend that such exposure on the front line is easy – it certainly is not. Pharmacists who tell me that 'you have to know about everything that you sell'. Pharmacists who tell me that 'working with customers/patients is the most exciting part about being a pharmacist'. My sort of Pharmacist

Roadside Vegetation Management Technology
Our slasher's are purpose built for roadside maintenance. We not only develop and use the latest in technology, but we have opted for high quality components and manufacture throughout all of our machinery.
The Stationary Frame
The patent pending technology is built around a stationary frame. This stationary frame enables the internal rotating frame that carries the the blades to rotate around the post at the push of a button.
This construction, using an incredibly rigid stationary frame makes the unit very strong and sturdy. The use of hydraulic motors throughout the machine provide maximum cutting power, with minimum mechanical complexity.
Work Hardening Mulching Blades
Our slashers have three sets of blades in each unit. Having three blade sets ensures a consistent, even cut. The blades are designed to mulch the grass at the time of the cut, breaking down the cut grass to act as food for regeneration..
We have manufactured these blades using a special steel alloy that hardens as they cut. This prolongs the life of the blades and makes them less prone to damage.
Hydraulic Driven Motors
All of our machines are hydraulic driven. Our motors are high end, that are specifically made for a prolonged life on high speed usage. Special valves are built into each hydraulic circuit, acting as shock absorbers if the blades hit any rocks or hard objects.
Running all of our units using hydraulics minimises the number of moving components in the system and therefore reduces the chance of mechanical failure.
Guard Rail Slashing
The Reach Arm Mower Head has been designed to slash the vegetation around guard rails without the need to constantly maneuver the mower head in and out along the way.

"The Dollar drink is back at Applebee's just in time for the holidays, and this time, folks can enjoy a $1 Long Island Iced Tea," said Patrick Kirk, vice president of beverage innovation at Applebee's, in a press release.

Yeah, it's insanely boozy. It also means that each drink contains about 1.5 ounces of hard alcohol, so if you do indulge in Applebee's promotion, please remember to always drink responsibly.

She speaks! And when she does, heads roll.
After barely being heard or seen on the first three episodes of "Survivor: Samoa," Hockessin native/hairdresser Kelly "Under the Radar" Sharbaugh finally got some screen time on the CBS reality show last night.
In the second half of the episode, Sharbaugh was seen giving the cold shoulder to her teammate Yasmin Giles of Los Angeles — the person who was eventually eliminated at the end of thew show.
"I'm so sick of Yas doing absolutely nothing. She's waiting around to be taken care of like a little princess. So, she's kind of frustrating an annoying," Sharbaugh said to TV cameras. "Yas is here for herself. She's not a team player. She doesn't help out around the camp. And say we do lose the challenge, I think Yas will be the first to go."
As Giles slept, Sharbaugh vented to her teammates abut the lazy lump, setting into motion Giles' eventual elimination.
Finally, our Delaware homegirl is shaking things up. Let's hope for more of the same next week…

Congress is currently considering several pieces of hydropower legislation that, in our analysis,
would likely negatively impact rivers if passed in their current form. In early May, the House
Subcommittee on Energy
held a hearing on legislation addressing hydropower infrastructure modernization that
included Discussion Drafts of bills relating to modernizing hydropower policy.
In our reading of the Discussion Drafts, they would undermine the existing balance balance between hydropower and all other river values, including recreation. Many of these bills propose to give the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) more authority to make decisions about natural resource issues. Yet, FERC is an independent agency that is tasked with regulating the interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas and oil, and reviewing proposals to build liquefied natural gas terminals, natural gas pipelines and hydropower projects. State, federal and tribal agencies have expertise in fish, wildlife, flows and recreation and are better suited to make natural resource decisions.
While hydropower plays an important role in our energy system, hydropower dams have had a devastating impact on our nation's rivers. Federal laws and the FERC hydropower licensing process ensure that river values like fish, wildlife and recreation are given equal consideration to hydropower operations. It is important that we maintain this balance. Since the 1990s, American Whitewater has restored flows to rivers across the country, working alongside federal and state agencies, through the FERC process. Our successes include the Cheoah (NC), West Fork Tuckasegee (NC), Tallulah (GA), New (WV), Hoosic (NY), Deerfield (MA), North Fork Feather (CA), South Fork American (CA), and Sultan (WA).
As your Representative and Senators consider hydropower legislation, it's critical that they hear from you about why protecting rivers is important. We've made it easy for you to do that here.
Thanks for taking action, and stay tuned to American Whitewater for updates.
