Golden Locksmith ServicesThe discovery of locks has turned out to be one of the greatest turning points in human history. It has been widely used as a tool for securing not just a person's life, but also his or her belongings and valuables. For many years, the ingrained threat of getting hurt or tricked has been one of the many bases of one's survival mechanics, and hence, various tools such as locks have been devised to serve this purpose. Locksmith Golden is one such company that specializes in providing the customer's needs in anything relating to locks. We have been in the service of enhancing, repairing, and installing locks for customers for quite some time, giving us the advantage of having an above average experience and knowledge required in performing these services.
Golden is a city located in Colorado, United States that lies just at the edge of the Front Range of Rocky Mountains. This served as the capital of Jefferson County in Coloroda in 1860, and in 1862, it has been officially declared as the capital of the Territory of Colorado. It has a small population of only 19,000 in the year 2010, all spread out in 2,096.3 square miles of land. Famously a gold rush town, the city of Golden has been a center of trade and political activity, making it a small but rather influential city in Colorado.
Most people would think that a small time would more or less be 100 percent safe, with a minor exception of accidents and the like. This, however, is not the case in Golden City. For a city and population of that number, the crime rates are astonishingly high, with a crime index of only 30 (where 100 is considered as the safest). Among the crimes committed in the area include larceny and theft, burglary, aggravated assault, robbery, motor vehicle theft, forcible rape, and arson. With a crime rating this high, the threat against the safety of the citizens grew even more pronounced, and people are more agitated now more than ever to protect themselves and their belongings at all costs.
As a local business, locksmith Golden has proved to be very efficient and reliable in doing these services that are required by the clients. We have a fifteen minute response time that makes us highly known for our reliability and our dedication in providing quick and professional service who would need it. With the exception of alarm system, we offer a wide range of services, including locksmith services, automotive services, commercial services, residential services, emergency services, and lock change or rekey. Even with this wide array of services, we can assure all customers that we are able to serve professionally in all aspects, and that our team is dedicated to offering the best that we have. We are always willing to serve each customer at any time of the day, further proving that locksmith Golden is everyone's best ally in times of crises.

MORE than a week after declaring its support during the International Women's Day rallies, Sentro formally endorsed vice-presidential candidate Leni Robredo, independent senatorial aspirant Walden Bello and the Akbayan party-list following the recent signing of their respective memorandum of agreements (MOAs) with the national labor center.
Signed last March 19 during separate meetings on the sidelines of the Sentro 4th General Council confab in Quezon City, the MOA binds the parties upon signing to "jointly and steadfastly promote and pursue (Sentro's) labor and other social advocacies," which were enumerated in the documents.
Included here are the general labor and social agenda drafted by Sentro, each with still specific items, such as promoting secure and quality jobs as well as "green" jobs; living wage; social protection and services; strengthening trade union, political and human rights; refiling of certain significant bills that were blocked or rejected or set aside in the past Congresses; and filing other proposed laws and policies that will truly benefit the basic sectors, and ensure national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
More comprehensive and updated Sentro priority legislative and executive agenda were presented to Akbayan, such as on various international and national issues affecting the working people; asset reforms; sustainable employment; living wage, social wage and restructuring the wage determination system; strengthening trade union rights; Labor Code reforms; issues of specific groups of workers; working women's priority agenda; socialized housing; and institutionalizing workers' representation.
Some of the top proposed laws that the endorsed candidates will support in the legislative and executive branches of the government are the pending or blocked bills on Security of Tenure (SOT), Freedom of Information (FOI), Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL), Maternity Protection, and Anti-Discrimination.
Meanwhile, although Robredo has agreed to champion Sentro's labor agenda, there is still an ongoing discussion with her on other important issues and concerns, like Sentro's vehement opposition to the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) forged between the Philippine and US governments.
Each MOA was "individualized" in its introductory paragraphs to cite the achievements and track record of each candidate in the pursuit of the rights and welfare of the people, particularly the workers and other basic sectors, and – since all of them are either current or former legislators – for advancing other "other progressive and nationalist" causes "inside and outside the halls of Congress."

2014 Subaru Impreza Wrx Interior
Interior quality is not a strong suit the 2014 Subaru Impreza Wrx. The cabin design is simple and straightforward, but there is an overload of cheap, hard plastic trim of the vehicle in this price range. We've been impressed with the quality of the organization test cars we've tested. The obsolete screen interface for the navigation system frustrating to use, and if equipped, the audio system hard work. Sound quality is subpar, making aftermarket audio upgrades a virtual necessity.
However, personality inside the 2014 Subaru Impreza Wrx cabin for passengers and cargo. Gives stubborn and legroom provide enough for taller adults, and the front seats include aggressive bolstering to keep the passengers securely anchored to their seats when cornering. When it comes to hauling, the hatch can accommodate up to 19 cubic feet of cargo and the seats are in place. The 2014 Subaru Impreza Wrx, folding rear seats expands the space and a generous 44 cubes. The sedan has a trunk 11.3-cubic-foot.
2014 Subaru Impreza Wrx Engine
The 2014 Subaru Impreza Wrx powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter, horizontally opposed-cylinder boxer engine that produces 265 hp and 244 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed manual transmission with all-wheel drive are standard. In the test, a sedan Wrx from zero to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds, which is very quick between similarly priced, high-performance compact cars. EPA-estimated fuel economy of 21 mpg in combined driving (19 mpg city / 25 mpg highway) for both sedan and hatchback. Cars like the Focus ST and VW GTI earn better mpg ratings.
The 2014 Subaru Impreza Wrx STI gets a more elite version of this engine is tuned for extra performance rated at 305 hp and 290 lb-ft of torque. A manual six-speed standard. EPA-estimated fuel economy of 19 mpg combined (17 city / 23 highway). These numbers are not great, but they're comparable to rival the main STI, the Lancer Evolution.
If we instrument-tested 2014 Subaru Impreza Wrx STI, went from zero to 60 mph in a blistering 4.5 seconds, but two 2011 sedans STI we tested had a second full slower. Although Subaru has confirmed that any changes to the drivetrain is carried STI, there is a good case to buy financial cost base Wrx if you can do without STI's the difference fancy lightweight wheels.
2014 Subaru Impreza Wrx Safety
2014 Subaru Impreza Wrx out with the stability and fire control, antilock disc brakes, hill-hold assist, front side airbags and side curtain airbags. The 2014 Subaru Impreza WRX STI signs of air disc brakes front and rear. In brake testing, a sedan Wrx stood in an excellent 114 feet, and the 2014 Subaru Impreza WRX STI hatchback made it an even better 106 feet. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the translations of non-Wrx with previous-generation 2014 Subaru Impreza Wrx the highest possible rating of "Good" in the moderate-printing directly overlap, side-impact and roof inspections.

The holidays are a time to practice generosity of spirit, but also a time to treat yourself as much as you treat those around you. The dawn of a new year has a way of bringing with it thoughts of reinvention and renewed commitment to self.
This New Year's, why not consider cosmetic surgery as both a reward and a catalyst to bring back that youthful appearance or enhance features you once thought were lost in years past? By improving your appearance through body contouring or facial rejuvenation procedures, you are taking a positive step towards a healthy body image and kickstarting a powerful motivational force to treat your body well. In fact, many women and men who have had cosmetic surgery often find that they are more motivated to engage in a healthier lifestyle through balanced eating and regular fitness activities as a result of their increased self confidence.
This is your opportunity to view the New Year as a time to achieve your personal goals. Have you been planning on making changes for a while now? There is no time like the present to take the first step in achieving your personal goals for 2011. At the San Francisco plastic surgery office of Dr. Robert Aycock, we can show you a variety of self-improvement procedures designed to accentuate your natural beauty and revitalize your appearance.
As part of your New Year's resolution, perhaps you are considering one of the following cosmetic enhancements:
Or these nonsurgical beauty treatments:
Each person who walks through our doors has a personal reason as to why they are choosing now to move forward with physical enhancements. If you've been frustrated with certain aspects of your appearance, now may be your perfect time to look into cosmetic surgery. Even small physical enhancements have the power to restore confidence and build a positive total body image.
If you would like to do something special for yourself this New Year's, please contact Dr. Robert Aycock for a one-on-one consultation. You can also visit Dr. Aycock's Facebook page under Bay Area's Premier Aesthetic Surgery and Laser Center.

Neuroscience MPhil, PhD, MD
Neuroscience MPhil, PhD, MD
MPhil - full time: minimum 12 months, part time: minimum 24 months
PhD - full time: minimum 36 months, part time: minimum 72 months
MD - full time: normally 24 months, part time: normally 48 months
The Institute for Neuroscience has clinicians and scientists working together to understand the brain and behaviour. From the basic biology of neurons through to complex processes of perception and decision-making behaviour, we address how the mind, brain, and body work together and translate this knowledge into clinical applications for patient benefit.
We offer MPhil, PhD and MD supervision in the following research areas:
Motor systems development, plasticity and function
We conduct clinical and preclinical studies of normal and abnormal development and plasticity of the motor system. We run functional studies and computer modelling of motor system activity throughout the neuraxis. We also research the development and assessment of novel therapies for motor disorders/lesions including stem cell and brain-machine interface.
Visual system development, plasticity and repair
We research the development and assessment of novel neuro-technological approaches to retinal dystrophy repair including brain-machine interface and stem cells. We use in vitro approaches to look at retinal development and visual system wiring.
Neural computation and network systems
We conduct experimental and theoretical (computational) studies aimed at understanding how neurones throughout the brain interact in localised networks to compute complex tasks. Our research looks at the role of network activity in a wide range of neurological, neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders.
Auditory neuroscience
We conduct clinical and preclinical studies aimed at understanding the brain mechanisms involved in detection, discrimination and perception of sound. We are interested in how these mechanisms are affected in individuals with brain disorders, including dementia, autism and stroke.
Our research focuses on:
- understanding mechanisms underlying pain, analgesia, and anaesthesia
- the development of methods to assess pain and to alleviate pain in animals and humans
We conduct studies in laboratory animals, healthy volunteers and patient populations investigating the mechanisms underlying mood, anxiety and addiction disorders and their treatment. Allied research looks at normal neuropsychology, and the physiology and pharmacology of neurotransmitter and endocrine systems implicated in psychiatric disorders.
Our research focuses on delineating the effects and understanding the mechanisms of action of established and putative neurotoxins, including environmental and endogenous chemicals, and naturally occurring toxins.
Forensic psychiatry and clinical psychology
Our research covers:
- the assessment, treatment and management of sex offender risk
- development and assessment of cognitive models
- cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) treatment for bipolar disorder, psychosis, anxiety and developmental disorders
- developmental disorders of perception and cognition
Systems and computational neuroscience
We conduct theoretical (computational) and experimental studies aimed at understanding the neuroanatomy, neuropharmacology of vision, visual attention and episodic memory.
Behaviour and evolution
Many research groups take an evolutionary and comparative approach to the study of brain and/or behaviour, comparing brain function and behaviour among such disparate groups as insects, birds and mammals, and studying the ecological and evolutionary functions of behaviour. Much of our work is at the forefront of the fields of neuroethology, behavioural ecology and comparative cognition, and has important implications for the study and practice of animal welfare.
Visual perception and human cognition
We research:
- colour and depth perception - perception of natural scenes
- psychophysics and attention - memory
- word learning in children
- body image dysfunction
- visual social cognition and face processing
- advertising and consumer behaviour
We encourage applicants to find out more about our staff specialisms on the Institute of Neuroscience's website.

Investing ideas that changed my life
If something has a chance of either destroying you or making you very wealthy and you don't know how to measure what that chance is, it's understandable that people default to high levels of credulity.
You can't believe in risk without also believing in luck, because they are fundamentally the same thing—an acknowledgment that you are one person in a 7 billion player game, and the accidental impact of other people's actions can be more consequential than your own. But the path of least resistance is to be keenly aware of risk when it affects you, and oblivious to luck when it helps you. Investors adjust returns for risk; never for luck. Companies disclose known risks in their annual reports; lucky breaks are rarely mentioned. The danger is that experiencing risk reduces confidence when it should merely highlight reality, which can make future decisions more conservative than they ought to be. Luck increases confidence without increasing ability, which makes people double down with less room for error than before. Realizing that luck and risk are ever-present and normal makes you accept that not everything is in your control, which is the only way to identify whatever is in your control.
If you think the world is all art, you'll miss how much stuff is too complicated to think about intuitively. But if you think the world is all science, you'll miss how much people like to take shortcuts, believe only what they want to believe, and have to deal with stuff that is too complicated for them to summarize in a statistic. Another way to think about this: Investing is not physics, which is guided by cold, immutable laws. It's like biology, guided by the messy mutations and accidents of evolution, constantly adapting and sometimes defying logic.
"How long will this remain important given my strategy and time horizon?"
The dynamics of network effects
So how can entrepreneurs and founders navigate this era of seemingly diminishing network effects? The trick is to know what your network effects look like today, but also project how they'll evolve over time. To that end, you'll need to understand three aspects of your company and how they could change going forward: 1) your value proposition, 2) your users/inventory, and 3) your competitive ecosystem. Otherwise you could get caught flat-footed, claiming that network effects are dead.
Early on, more friends in Frank groups meant more demand and more liquidity, which created a bigger incentive for people to join those groups. But once a group had more than 7 people, they became less likely to lend or borrow: turns out people only have ~7 friends/family members they have that level of trust with! The network effects in this case went from positive to negative as an individual's network outgrew the value proposition. This pattern has also held true for a number of other highly social products.
Platforms/marketplaces with more differentiated inventory have stronger and longer-lasting network effects, because they have a diversity of inventory that suits the unique preferences of customers (while maintaining just-enough substitutability across that inventory as well). For example, AirBnB can show users every iteration of lodging from $225-$325/night in Los Angeles, which overlaps with someone else's search for something that costs $150-$250 and has a both a balcony and a hot tub. The platform is therefore more valuable on both sides of the marketplace than a site that just shows a commoditized set of standard and executive rooms. The network effects remain strong not only because it reaches a base level of liquidity across all these different types of inventory (making them valuable to more users), but because it also continues to see increasing returns with new supply.
When you forecast out your network effects — and more importantly, your growth strategy for acquiring and engaging more users — you will need to pay attention to the incremental users you're likely to attract. Are they network "contaminants", "neutrals", or "contributors"? For a social network, adding a troll that disengages other users is a pollutant who removes value. Adding a lurker is neutral since that person doesn't add or subtract any value from the network. Adding a great content producer contributes an enormous amount of value to the network. So, making sure to incent the users you want while disincenting the ones you don't want, is key. This is why most great platforms also invest heavily in curation mechanisms to screen and remove bad inventory/users (e.g., Wikipedia's editors, Airbnb's reviews/onboarding, etc.). Unfortunately, these screening mechanisms don't always work and sometimes the cost of finding strong contributors becomes very high, so the calculus of growth relative to cost matters a lot here.
While network effects businesses tend to be more defensible at scale, they are not immune to competition. But for these types of businesses it's not just a matter of figuring out who your direct competitors are — you also need to think about the network overlap. If someone else has a similar network to yours, there's always existential risk they'll move into your market. Because they have a similar network already, they'll more easily be able to enter your space (Instagram's foray into Snapchat-like disposable "Stories" is a good example of this). This is also true where the competition may already have registered a superset of your network (e.g., DoorDash and Uber Eats; Didi and Uber in China).
The increasing speed of product iteration, the pace at which networks can scale, and the ease with which competitors can get started has therefore dramatically changed how we project network effects in businesses. Instead of winner-take-all markets where early movers may have once had a seemingly lasting advantage, network effects change more quickly than ever. Especially where specific factors — an asymptotic value proposition, network overlap, increasing number of contaminants, etc. — can lower the platform's ability to generate a sustainable network effect in the future.
How much is social media worth? Estimating the value of Facebook by paying users to stop using it
As noted previously, Facebook reached a market capitalization of $542 billion in May 2018. At 2.20 billion active users in March 2018, this suggests a value to investors of almost $250 per user, which is less than one fourth of the annual value of Facebook access from any of our samples. This reinforces the idea that the vast majority of benefits of new inventions go not to the inventors but to the users. Further, our results provide evidence that online services can provide tremendous value to society even if their contribution to GDP is minimal. If the billions of people who use Facebook and other free online services derive anything close to $1000 per year in benefits, the productivity slowdown cited by Solow and others may not be reflected in a slowdown in the growth rate of welfare measures like consumer surplus. Many observers have commented on the difficulties of measuring productivity growth in great technological change. While our current study does not offer a solution that can be broadly applied to address this challenge, it does present a methodology and results that provide important insight into the scale of the issue when considering the online revolution of our current era.
Concerns about data privacy, such as Cambridge Analytica's alleged problematic handling of users' private information, which are thought to have been used to influence the 2016 United States presidential election, only underscore the value Facebook's users must derive from the service. Despite the parade of negative publicity surrounding the Cambridge Analytica revelations in mid-March 2018, Facebook added 70 million users between the end of 2017 and March 31, 2018. This implies the value users derive from the social network more than offsets the privacy concerns.
Alibaba stock poised to return 200%, advisor says
Alibaba has a unique business model where it operates solely as a platform, rather than a middle man. The company doesn't have to purchase inventory, provide logistics, or distribute product – it simply collects fees from merchants for advertising and commissions for completed transactions. This asset light model has allowed BABA to compound earnings more than 43% per year for the last 5 years with very little incremental capital.
The GMV for BABA in the last twelve months was a staggering $4.8 trillion yuan, or $768B USD. This towers over Amazon's $186B or Walmart's $495B. GMV is nearly 7% of the GDP of China. In the last 5 years GMV has compounded at an annual growth rate of 29% per year.
Core Commerce is the largest and most profitable division of BABA representing 71% of total revenue and 100% of owner earnings. This division generates revenue by selling advertising to merchants and collecting commissions ranging from 0.3% to 5.0% on sales that occur across BABA's e-commerce platforms. In the last 5 years revenue from the Core Commerce division has compounded at a rate of 43% per year.
Cloud Computing provides individuals, merchants, and businesses across China online access to the vast computing resources of BABA's datacenters. Alibaba Cloud offers a complete suite of cloud services, including elastic computing, database, storage, network virtualization services, large scale computing, security, management and application services, big data analytics, and more. Alibaba Cloud has grown at an average pace of more than 100% in the last 5 years. While the business currently does not generate owner earnings due to the aggressive investment in market share, we are confident that the division will be highly profitable in the future.
Digital Media & Entertainment offers an online platform, Youku, where users can watch TV shows, movies, and other content. It is similar to the business model of Netflix, where revenue is generated by selling subscriptions and advertising. While both revenue and daily average subscriber growth has been impressive averaging more than 100% per year for the last 3 years, the business loses money annually due to the high cost of purchasing content. Unlike Alibaba Cloud, which we are confident will be profitable based on comparisons to AWS and Google Cloud, we are less confident in the future profitability of Youku. Comparable companies, like iQiyi and Netflix, have never generated positive cash flow for owners and the path to a successful business model is not presently clear. We are hopeful that this business division will be spun off as a standalone business in the upcoming years.
"As a result of our broad value propositions to consumers, we have seen increased engagement over time. The longer consumers have been with us, the larger numbers of orders they tend to place, across a more diverse range of product categories, and the more they tend to spend on our China retail marketplaces. For example, in the twelve months ended March 31, 2018, consumers who have been with us for approximately five years placed an average of 132 orders in 23 product categories with average spending of approximately RMB12,000 in terms of GMV, whereas consumers who have been with us for approximately one year placed an average of 27 orders in 6 product categories with average spending of approximately RMB3,000 in terms of GMV. In the twelve months ended March 31, 2018, the average annual active consumer on our China retail marketplaces placed 90 orders in 16 product categories with average spending of approximately RMB9,000 in terms of GMV."
The business case for serverless
The case for serverless starts with a simple premise: if the fastest startup in a given market is going to win, then the most important thing is to maintain or increase development velocity over time. This may sound obvious, but very, very few startups state maintaining or increasing development velocity as an explicit goal. "Development velocity," to be specific, means the speed at which you can deliver an additional unit of value to a customer. Of course, an additional unit of customer value can be delivered either by shipping more value to existing customers, or by shipping existing value—that is, existing features—to new customers.
Whereas a 'normal' cloud server like AWS's EC2 offering had to be provisioned in advance and was billed by the hour regardless of whether or not it was used, AWS Lambda was provisioned instantly, on demand, and was billed only per request. Lambda is astonishingly cheap: $0.0000002 per request plus $0.00001667 per gigabyte-second of compute. And while users have to increase their server size if they hit a capacity constraint on EC2, Lambda will scale more or less infinitely to accommodate load — without any manual intervention. And, if an EC2 instance goes down, the developer is responsible for diagnosing the problem and getting it back online, whereas if a Lambda dies another Lambda can just take its place.
Although Lambda—and equivalent services like Azure Functions or Google Cloud Functions—is incredibly attractive from a cost and capacity standpoint, the truth is that saving money and preparing for scale are very poor reasons for a startup to adopt a given technology. Few startups fail as a result of spending too much money on servers or from failing to scale to meet customer demand — in fact, optimizing for either of these things is a form of premature scaling, and premature scaling on one or many dimensions (hiring, marketing, sales, product features, and even hierarchy/titles) is the primary cause of death for the vast majority of startups. In other words, prematurely optimizing for cost, scale, or uptime is an anti-pattern.
Herein lies the magic of using managed services. Startups get the beneficial use of the provider's code as an asset without holding that code debt on their "technical balance sheet." Instead, the code sits on the provider's balance sheet, and the provider's engineers are tasked with maintaining, improving, and documenting that code. In other words, startups get code that is self-maintaining, self-improving, and self-documenting—the equivalent of hiring a first-rate engineering team dedicated to a non-core part of the codebase—for free. Or, more accurately, at a predictable per-use cost. Contrast this with using a managed service like Cognito or Auth0. On day one, perhaps it doesn't have all of the features on a startup's wish list. The difference is that the provider has a team of engineers and product managers whose sole task is to ship improvements to this service day in and day out. Their exciting core product is another company's would-be redheaded stepchild.
One day, complexity will grow past a breaking point and development velocity will begin to decline irreversibly, and so the ultimate job of the founder is to push that day off as long as humanly possible. The best way to do that is to keep your ball of mud to the minimum possible size— serverless is the most powerful tool ever developed to do exactly that.
Huawei ban casts shadow over $100bn economic sphere
Huawei reported sales of 603.62 billion yuan ($87.4 billion at current rates) last year — not far off from Microsoft and Google parent Alphabet, although less than half as much as Apple. Its two biggest telecom equipment rivals, Nokia and Ericsson, had net sales of 23.1 billion euros ($26.1 billion) and 201.3 billion krona ($22.2 billion), respectively, last year. It ranks as the world's top seller of base stations for wireless networks with a 28% share, the No. 2 maker of smartphones and routers, and the fourth-largest server manufacturer.
Privately owned Huawei spent $14 billion on outside procurement of semiconductors alone last year. Much of this came from American companies, with $1.8 billion in purchases from Qualcomm and $700 million from Intel, according to Chinese media.
Hikvision, which is more than 40% controlled by state-owned companies, is the world's leading maker of security cameras and offers image-analysis technology powered by artificial intelligence. Privately run Hytera boasts world-leading production capacity for specialized wireless communications technology used by police and the military. Hikvision and Hytera in recent years have both acquired foreign peers — something that Beijing normally puts strict limits on — to expand their technological capabilities and overseas presence.
LVMH inks $2.6 billion deal to buy '21' club operator Belmond
The acquisition is one of LVMH founder Bernard Arnault's biggest, rivaling the purchases of Bulgari and Loro Piana. It comes as consumers shift spending toward trips, health clubs, restaurants and entertainment and interest in shopping malls dwindles.
The acquisition addresses another challenge facing LVMH and rivals Kering SA and Richemont. They've snapped up so many of the world's leading brands that there are few prominent leather and couture labels left to buy. The Louis Vuitton owner, formed through a merger with Champagne and cognac maker Moet Hennessy, has already expanded into perfume, watches, jewelry and cosmetics retail. Prominent remaining independents like Chanel and Hermes have shown little inclination to sell.
The deal will expand the French company's high-end hospitality offerings. LVMH formed a hotel management group in 2010 to oversee its operations in the sector, which include properties under the Cheval Blanc name in locations like the Courchevel ski resort in the French Alps. LVMH's Bulgari jewelry brand has six hotels, including one in Shanghai that opened in July. It plans to open hotels in Moscow, Paris and Tokyo in the next four years.
Belmond, which used to be known as Orient-Express Hotels, owns or has stakes in more than 30 high-end hotels around the world, from St. Petersburg to Anguilla in the Caribbean. In addition to the '21' Club power restaurant in Manhattan, its stable of luxury properties includes a cruise line in France, a London-to-Venice train line and safari camps in Botswana.
What straight-A students get wrong
The evidence is clear: Academic excellence is not a strong predictor of career excellence. Across industries, research shows that the correlation between grades and job performance is modest in the first year after college and trivial within a handful of years. For example, at Google, once employees are two or three years out of college, their grades have no bearing on their performance.
Academic grades rarely assess qualities like creativity, leadership and teamwork skills, or social, emotional and political intelligence. Yes, straight-A students master cramming information and regurgitating it on exams. But career success is rarely about finding the right solution to a problem — it's more about finding the right problem to solve.
Getting straight A's requires conformity. Having an influential career demands originality. In a study of students who graduated at the top of their class, the education researcher Karen Arnold found that although they usually had successful careers, they rarely reached the upper echelons. "Valedictorians aren't likely to be the future's visionaries," Dr. Arnold explained. "They typically settle into the system instead of shaking it up."
If your goal is to graduate without a blemish on your transcript, you end up taking easier classes and staying within your comfort zone. If you're willing to tolerate the occasional B, you can learn to program in Python while struggling to decipher "Finnegans Wake." You gain experience coping with failures and setbacks, which builds resilience.
Employers: Make it clear you value skills over straight A's. Some recruiters are already on board: In a 2003 study of over 500 job postings, nearly 15 percent of recruiters actively selected against students with high G.P.A.s (perhaps questioning their priorities and life skills), while more than 40 percent put no weight on grades in initial screening. Straight-A students: Recognize that underachieving in school can prepare you to overachieve in life. So maybe it's time to apply your grit to a new goal — getting at least one B before you graduate.

Codeia Premiere "Medallion (Part III)" Video; As He Turned Back Towards the Eye of the Storm out April 13Posted in Bootleg Theater on February 25th, 2019 by JJ Koczan
German post-metallic trio Codeia are most likely aware the allusion they're making in the rather lengthy title of their second album. Due out through Hand of Doom Records on April 13, As He Turned Back Towards the Eye of the Storm indeed has its moments that seem in conversation with the patient ambience that genre-godfathers Neurosis brought to their 2004 effort, The Eye of Every Storm, but at five songs and a consuming 73 minutes, the Karlsruhe/Stuttgart-based trio bring together a host of other elements that would seem to be crafted toward bridging that kind of open, atmospheric minimalism with the mathematical crunch of Isis at their most intense, or some of Cult of Luna's more lush phrases. These are not unfamiliar aspects of post-metal, but through manipulating the textures at play especially over longform pieces like 20-minute opener "Canon of Echoes" and the 21-minute finale "Mantra-Karma," the band smoothly execute shifts in volume and intensity in a way that is able to play toward stark contrasts when it so desires but draws itself forward in thoughtful fashion, maintaining conscious presence in the midst of hypnotic suggestion.
All but one of the inclusions on As He Turned Back Towards the Eye of the Storm — which, like the band's name itself, is also stylized all-lowercase — starts out quiet and progresses toward an inevitable build in volume with a fine sonic detailing that is both emblematic of the style and fluidly executed by Codeia as it was on their 2017 debut, "Don't be Afraid," She Whispered and Disappeared (review here), and across both releases there is a clear move toward evocation. Guitarist Markus Liebich, bassist/vocalist Denis Schneider and drummer Timo Langhof aren't just employing the combination of airy guitar effects and massive roll that provides the early apex of "Emerald Deception" for their own ends. They're using them to construct a moving entity that is the album as a whole. It's about putting the listener into a specific mental and emotional place, and even in the five-minute noise-wash centerpiece "Mantra," they're able to accomplish what they set out to do, whether it's through effects, tonal weight, bellowed shouts or a sense of sonic drift.
The outlier, which starts at relative full-bore is "Medallion," which has been broken into three parts for the purposes of video-making and, presumably, ease of consumption. A blasting intensity gives way gradually to barely-there minimalism, and the three-piece build back up to a nodding, crushing heft that recedes again to set the foundation of a last crescendo leading into the closer with a final resonant wisp of guitar ahead of the arrival at the footsteps of "Mantra-Karma." Of course, no 73-minute full-length is going to be a minor undertaking — nor is it intended to be, on any level — but As He Turned Back Towards the Eye of the Storm holds sway over its extended runtime with an immersive vibe that calls all to worship alongside it.
"Medallion (Part III)" can be seen premiering below. When all three videos are out ("Part II" is yet forthcoming), they'll be pieced together for the entirety of the song. Until then, please enjoy the clip below, followed by more info from the PR wire.
As He Turned Back Towards the Eye of the Storm is available to preorder now:
Codeia, "Medallion (Part III)" official video premiere
In comparison to their first record "don't be afraid", she whispered and disappeared, the new one as he turned back towards the eye of the storm feels more focused and determined than its predecessor. The band therefore likens their previous album to a prologue: "Our debut has introduced our characters, or influences. Now, the storyline unfolds and allows for a more complex character development."
Spherical sound patterns, hypnotic repetitions, and progressive structures set the stage for facet-like lyrics. Some things, however, shouldn't change – the band once more has made it their mission to capture a live-feel on the album, making sure to record all guitar loops live. A vinyl-only bonus track of 22 minutes as well as two contributions by N (Denovali Records, Midira Records) lend additional richness to the production.
Ultimately, the seamless transition between the two records gives an entirely new meaning to both, urging the listener to re-evaluate the known and unknown.
as he turned back towards the eye of the storm (produced by Tobias Stieler/Kokomo) is out on April 13th, 2019 (Record Store Day) via Hand Of Doom Records.

After revealing his sinful past of masturbation and lustful thoughts, Elder Hult is trying to change his lascivious ways and keephis dark desires to himself. Today, he is contemplating the nature of his sins while taking a hot, cleansing shower. However, Elder Call is looking to get cleaned up as well. Clearly, the shower is occupied, but the mischievous and stunning Elder Call doesn't see a problem… They can just take a shower together, right?
Immediately, Elder Hult is worried that something physical is going to happen. He is heavily attracted to his fellow missionary, and he doesn't want to slip and end up in a sexual situation with one of the boys. But the lust is too strong to ignore, and eventually, he gives in to the muscular boy's advances. Elder Call's handsome face and immaculate body outweighs Hult's nefarious history, causing Hult's dick to immediately turn rock-hard.
Elder Call embraces the shy kid, pinning him against the shower wall and teasing him with his lips as they kiss.
Read more . . .
Elder Hult has wanted to worship Call's body for so long, and now that his fantasies are becoming reality, he cannot contain his desire.
He smothers the boy's toned body in kisses, moving from his nipples all the way down to his engorged cock. He licks Call's dick, drooling on his shaft as his own prick gets stiff and ready to fuck. Then, he enters Call's butthole raw, pounding him passionately against the shower wall.
As he bends down to take a mouthful of jizz from Call's steaming hot dick, Hult thinks of what the priests would say if they could see such disobedience. They surely would be enraged and forced to discipline the boys, perhaps even call them into a private setting and corporally punish them. But the risk is worth the reward of indulging in Call's stunning body. This shower Rendez-Vous is a secret Elder Hult will keep close to his chest, and in his heart, forever.

"I told you to be patient, because in a moment I'll be with you, and it will be a different kind…"
– Bon Iver (Skinny Love)
We've promised forever, but I guess promises really are meant to be broken, and forever, is just a matter of time.
Never have I expected that you'd leave me again, but hey, you did it once, why was I so stupid to believe that you wouldn't do it again?
All you had to do was stay, all you had to do was give me that assurance that you'd be there.
I need to know you'd be there.
Isn't that how "friends" are supposed to be? That's how it's supposed to work isn't it?
However, we're not only just the best of friends and you know that. When everybody's gone, we are the constant ones. We're each others' anchors, we've been together through thick and thin, we have that strong bond that lasted through time, and that irrevocable connection that is ever present.
We've had so much history, but as much as I want to preserve what we have, I can't only decide for us, I need you to want this too.
Everyone believes in us, but how come you're giving up? Why now? Don't you think it's too much for you to just ghost on me, disappear like we're nothing? We aren't that. You're better than that.
Abandoning people is not what helps them. Leaving is what hurts.
Recently, you said a lot has been going on with you, then tell me, you always have, you don't have to stop today. If telling me isn't an option anymore, then what is? I am so used to you running to me, and me to you. You were always there for me when I needed you most. You saved me from myself and I will be forever thankful, but if anything, I want to be able to repay you, I genuinely do. I just care too much and I don't want to be blindsided by whatever's happening with you. I'm living because of you, thus, let me be here for you.
Given, right now you're too far away from me, and I can't help you physically, but please know that I'm still here. For years we've endured our miles apart, and we still can. It didn't even bother us a hair before. I have so many reasons that outweighs the rationality of why you should leave. But for now, just know that you can't, because you shouldn't. You can't move on because you know I'll feel all alone without you.
We have our differences, yes, but together, these differences at no time mattered.
You know why?
Because we're a perfect fit, we complete each other.
And while nobody else understands what we have, we do, because you and I both know what we mean to one another.
You are my other half.
Together we're at our bests, together, we are beautiful.
But like any other relationship there is, we have our flaws too. We aren't perfect, we're gonna fight sometimes, but I'm never going to stop loving you, no matter how much we fight or what we fight about. I chose you, and I'll choose you over and over and over again, without a pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat, I'll keep choosing you.
I can imagine you with someone else, that's alright, but life without you? I don't even want to go there.
You'll always have a huge part that lives within me. If I have to beg, you know I would. I can't loose you. I've made myself vulnerable to you and I don't know how I'd live the rest of my life knowing I lost someone so precious. I'd loose myself too…
For now, nothing could compensate with you gone. I don't think anyone can ever replace you. You made a huge impact in my life that would linger until my memory lives.
You care too, you still do. I see it in the way you look at me, the way you speak with me, and the way I hear you laugh whenever we flashback to those moments we've shared in our own private bubble. Those silent smiles on the phone, speaking about our future together, about the things that are yet to happen, and what we're willing to sacrifice…
You cherish me in a way that nobody else does. You know me as who I am, on my deepest soul, and not who I've pretended to be.
But, against my better judgment, I feel like we're slowly drifting apart, or is it just me and my paranoid self?
Perhaps, I'm just not ready to accept the fact that we're growing up.
I don't know what to call this stage of us, but maybe, just maybe, it's a blessing in disguise. If we've already become as much as a distraction to each other, then I guess with this, we'd be able to focus back on each other's lives, and do what we shall do.
I know it's not us not to share our moments with one another, but darling if you believe that this is what you and I need, then so be it.
We always come back to each other.
I may not trust my own judgement, I admit that my instincts aren't usually right, but I trust you, and that's more than enough for me.
So take your time, I'll do me, and you do you. No matter how long it takes, I'll be waiting.
I love you… Forever…

Differentiating my products is my secret weapon to making a lot of money on Amazon. It simply works. Anyone can do it if you take the time to learn what your customers love. I find critical reviews of competitors, learn from them, and use their customers' complaints to improve my own product.
Something that's very important to successful differentiation is knowing the difference between real value and perceived value. Perceived value is what you want potential buyers to see, and real value is what you want customers to experience. Customer service is real value; marketing is perceived value.
Let's say you're selling a computer stand on Amazon. Real value is what the computer stand does for the customer. Does it work with their computer? Does their laptop sit on it? Can they adjust the height? Real value is important. Your product should work, obviously. But even if you have the best product in the world, without high perceived value, no one will buy it.
You can claim your product is the best on the market, with the highest quality, but if your photos suck, your description is terrible, and the title doesn't have the right keywords, you won't get any sales. For a product to sell, the listing needs to look amazing.
Why is perceived value so important?
Look at the competitors who are outselling you and compare your listings to theirs. What's different? Their listings might have better perceived value.
Packaging, in terms of real value, is completely worthless. You could just wrap a laptop in bubble wrap and ship it, and it would still work as advertised. But nice packaging creates an experience, and the customer expects it. Attractive packaging makes the customer perceive the item as more valuable. Even though the packaging will likely get thrown away after five minutes, it plays a large part in the perceived value of the product. Apple does this brilliantly.
Here's another example: if you've ever sold a home, you know the importance of perceived value. If a house has the best AC, a new roof, and a solid foundation, it has tons of real value. But when you bring in a potential buyer and there's paint peeling off the front door, and the grass is overgrown, you've lost out in perceived value. The peeling paint doesn't hurt the door, structurally, and the grass can always be cut, but they make the house look less valuable. Remember: we eat with our eyes, and we buy with our eyes, too.
There are a few different ways to increase perceived value. High-quality photos are important. If your photos don't look good, people aren't even going to click on your listing. Photos that include props and smiling faces, and photos that break down the technical specifications of the product, will all help increase perceived value.
Your product description and title also impact the perceived value of your product. The title should use strong, descriptive keywords, and the product description should be clean and easy to read.
