The Miami Marlins signed Giancarlo Stanton, who finished second in MVP voting this week, to a 13-year, $325 million contract. Stanton had an outstanding season in which he hit .288 with 37 home runs. He is 25 years old. He could be 37 when he finishes the contract. Is the practice of signing free agents, or extending current contracts for ten years or more a rational business and baseball decision?
MLB contracts are totally guaranteed for skill and injury. This means that even if the player's productivity has dropped dramatically and the club no longer wants him at premium numbers, they are obligated to pay every last dollar through the final season. If a player becomes injured during the term of the deal and can never play again, the club must pay every remaining salary. So a team is taking a significant risk signing a player in this manner.
History shows that many players who are signed to these long term deals underperform at some point with years remaining on their contracts. Teams signing these players often look at past performance and project that same output from a player in the future. Realistically, time takes its inevitable toll on players. An everyday player will lose foot speed and bat speed and potentially strength. An aging pitcher will lose velocity. Because baseball does not involve direct collision as an inherent part of the game, like football, teams can underestimate the injury factor in baseball. But, older players are more susceptible to strains and pulls that keep them out of the lineup.
The Angels have learned some of these lessons the hard way. Albert Pujols, was once the most dangerous hitter in baseball. In the last four years with the Cardinals, his home run totals were 37, 47, 42 and 37. In his three years with the Angels, he has hit 30, 17 and 28. In his last four years with the Cardinals, his batting averages were .357, .327, .312 and .299. In his three years with the Angels he has hit .285, .258, and .272. Pujols is signed for seven more years at roughly $27 million a year, he will be 42 when the contract ends.
In his last year with Texas, Josh Hamilton hit .285 with 43 home runs and 128 RBI. In his two injury plagued seasons with the Angels, Hamilton batted .250 and .263. His home run totals were 21 and 10. His RBI totals were 79 and 44. His contract has three more years to run at salaries of $23 million, $30 million and $30 million. Owner Artie Moreno has been passionate about trying to assemble the most productive team possible, and has been a fan-friendly owner, but these signings illustrate the danger.
It is an intelligent strategy to take productive players who are younger and tie them up contractually with their team. When past performance motivates a team to sign a player to guarantees for years in which the player is likely to be diminishing dramatically on the field, it can be a major detriment to the franchise. New York Yankee fans will writhe in frustration just thinking about the years of A-Rod non-productive salaries ahead.

George M. Irvine Jr. passed away on November 13, 2016 at the age of 89. He was an absolute icon in the Marine Industry. From humble beginnings, he started the marine division of Owens Corning Fiberglass in the late 50's, and is personally responsible for getting the first production fiberglass boat built by Hatteras Yacht. He went on to become vice president of Hatteras, designing and building the longest production line in the business, still in use today. He was offered the presidency of Chris Craft in the late 1960's. In 1977 he resigned his position and bought PipeWelders Marine, then a mom and pop company.
Today PipeWelders is an 11 acre facility encompassing PipeWelders, High Seas Technology, P&R Canvas and Billfish Marina known worldwide and created by George. He truly was a remarkable man, loved by many, and most important his employees. He is survived by his two sons Trey and Edison, daughter-in-laws, Katherine, Jill, Tamara, and his five grandchildren, Ian, Whitney, Dierdra, Edison Jr., and Aubry.
PipeWelders Marine has been leading the sport fishing industry for over 60 years in Tuna Towers, Marlin Towers, and Hardtops. Our quality and craftsmanship has built our reputation, and it is backed up by multiple locations and many in-house facilities at yacht manufacturing plants. Our teams of skilled craftsmen have done installations in many locations around the world. Our reputation for excellence is broader than the specific needs of the marine industry. We have executed complex custom fabrications projects spanning a wide range of industries. "Our Limit is Your Imagination".

Beer, 32 years. Everything is available and anything is possible. You can hire a guy for a short time, for a few days or even a couple of weeks. Whatever you want you can bargain for and no one is going to be offended if you end up saying No. Do, however, be polite — all Thai people are. Believe me, some of these guy Bangkok guys are so damned hot and sexy they could be worth 10, Baht for just a weekend — if you have that much to spend. The idea on Silom Soi 4 is just to sit with a drink outside the bar and wait for that initial eye contact that will lead to conversation, that will lead to — who knows what?
Just be like the Thais — smile. They do not call this the Land of Smiles for nothing. A warm smile will open many doors and many a pair of jeans.

Make sure they are of the age of consent, currently If you just want to peeve on absolutely gorgeous gay Bangkok men, this is the place for you.

You can stay a while and watch the Cabaret. Well, it looks real but is just an act.
My favorite would be the two boys in the shower, lots of soap, lots of massaging, both very well-endowed and lots of suggestive movement. Actually leaving the sex act itself to your imagination — a great idea as some of us have more vivid imaginations than others. Sex in all of these places is definitely pay as you learn plan. What you will learn is that sex needs to be short and sweet so they can move on to another customer, sex is the act any expressions of love are from a script , when the boy has finished with you he may very well rush off to take his girlfriend to supper, this guy you almost fell in love with will do the same thing tomorrow with a woman many women go to gay bars to get turned on by these gay guys with huge dicks.
Remember, you have paid for the use of his body not control of his life.
Sex is all around you in gay Thailand but it has a sense of decency about it. Which is why some people easily mistake it for love — it is not. First, take a closer look at yourself. Gay Thailand is a happy place because everyone allows others to find their own form of happiness. I hope you find yours. For other ways to find Gay Thai men check out these Gay Thai dating sites.

antifragile salted memories
Antifragile coined by N.M.Taleb (also author of black swans) describes things that benefit from shocks, grow when exposed to randomness and that are beyond resilience or robustness. Allowing us to do things without understanding them. It's a mechanism by which the system regenerates itself continuously by using (rather than suffering from) random events. If you cannot predict the random events, you can detect fragility – or state with confidence that a structure is more fragile than another should a certain event happen. Concepts like 'solidity' and 'resilience' stifle growth and evolution where 'antifragility' stimulates growth and evolution. The beauty of this slight differentiation of meaning struck me when i realized the power of Motoi Yamamoto's work. By making his creations a performance and therefore non destructable although a blow of wind can easily change the art but not the concept.
Motoi Yamamoto meticulously creates labyrinths. You can take home the building-crystals if you promise to return them to the sea. His craftsmanship not only cradles the ingredient of his masterpieces, but also his memories of his sister. Salt, to him, has become symbolic of life and it's perpetual circle.

inverse heroes
While in the past people of rank and status were those and only those who took risks, who had the downside for their actions, and heroes were those who did so for the sake of others, today the exact reverse is taking place: the rise of a new class of inverse heroes; people with too much power and no real downside and/or accountability. They (members of the IAND = Internat. Association of Name Drppers) game the system while others pay the price. (from antifragile by NM Taleb)

Event Details
More than the sum of their parts!
Very often, innovative materials act as trailblazers for the introduction of new technologies and products. Hybrid materials and structures made or joined from several individual components are playing an increasingly important role in the industrial applications of mechanical engineering and construction.
"Hybrid Materials and Structures 2020" covers the entire spectrum of topics, from basic materials to design, from production to application, and thus provides the basis for an in-depth understanding of application-specific material and component behavior. The only limitation is the focus on material combinations that perform structural tasks in some way.
Special Session: "Intrinsic Hybrid Composites"
In multi-material design, hybrid composites joined by downstream processes such as bonding or welding are already established, but often do not fully exploit the lightweight potential. An intrinsic hybrid composite, however, is an integral component in which the various materials are joined in the consolidation or forming process of the metal- or plastic-based component. Hybrid 2020 is dedicating a special session to these material systems.
The conference offers a diverse mix of short talks, poster presentations and poster forums. In addition, the interdisciplinary exchange between science and industry will enable extended networking among the participants.
A DFG priority programme on intrinsic hybrid composites and a German-Canadian graduate school on hybrid fibre composites, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is home of two major research collaborations dedicated to this class of materials. This also applies to numerous industrial companies, especially from the automotive and supplier industries, and non-university research institutions in the Karlsruhe technology region.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in Karlsruhe!
The following matters will be discussed:
B Basics
• Material compatibility and interface properties
• Residual stresses, ageing and corrosion
C Characterization
• Materialography and microanalytical investigations
• Mechanical testing
• Non-destructive testing and quality assurance
D Design and layout
• Material modelling and simulation
• Construction methods and design principles
• Stress analysis
M Manufacturing
• Manufacturing and processing
• Joining techniques, machining and finishing
O Operation
• Corrosion and corrosion protection
• Maintenance and repair
• Life cycle assessments and recycling
Special Topic "Intrinsic Hybrid Composites"

The mainstream media is freaking out about the shellacking Tech giants like Apple (AAPL) are taking today. Shares of the $688 billion smartphone maker are down -8% on the day.
Apparently, everyone is just waking up to the emerging reality of global growth slowing. Here are some headlines:
- CNBC: Gold rises to highest since mid-2018 on global growth woes
- New York Times: Apple's glum news about China Sales sends stocks lower
Yahoo Finance: Apple just confirmed the stock market's biggest fear
Our Macro team has been all over the weakness of global economic growth and the impact it would have on financial markets. In addition to warning about the weakness of Emerging Markets in January ahead of the 2018 selloff, we got bearish on U.S. equities in September, with short Technology (XLK) stocks among our top calls.
Here are four themes that are currently driving financial markets (and that we've been warning subscribers about for a while now):
- #CyclicalPeaks (in earnings)
- #StrongDollar
- #ShortEM
- #ChinaSlowing
Now, check out Apple CEO Tim Cook's letter to the company's investors. It reads almost perfectly like the Hedgeye Macro playbook. Here are a few direct quotes from Cook's letter:
- #CyclicalPeaks: "We expect the number of shares used in computing diluted EPS to be approximately 4.77 billion. Based on these estimates, our revenue will be lower than our original guidance for the quarter, with other items remaining broadly in line with our guidance."
- #StrongDollar: "We knew the strong US dollar would create foreign exchange headwinds and forecasted this would reduce our revenue growth by about 200 basis points as compared to the previous year."
- #ShortEM: "We expected economic weakness in some emerging markets. This turned out to have a significantly greater impact than we had projected."
- #ChinaSlowing: "While we anticipated some challenges in key emerging markets, we did not foresee the magnitude of the economic deceleration, particularly in Greater China. In fact, most of our revenue shortfall to our guidance, and over 100 percent of our year-over-year worldwide revenue decline, occurred in Greater China across iPhone, Mac and iPad. China's economy began to slow in the second half of 2018. The government-reported GDP growth during the September quarter was the second lowest in the last 25 years."

Tarot Card Meanings
Ten of Clubs
Rediscover the idealism and optimism of your youth to reinvigorate your vision.
Nine of Clubs
Page of Clubs
Watch Now: Ten of Clubs Video
Learn the meaning of the Ten of Clubs Tarot card in under a minute!
General Meaning
This suit, most often called "Wands" and sometimes called "Rods" or "Staves," represents initiative, ambition, drive and desire. This is the suit of enterprise and risk-taking.
The Ten of this suit represents an all-out effort, an obsessive commitment to a task which demands everything you've got. The person shown in decks with pictures is in no position to rest until he makes it inside the stout walls of the well-defended castle in the distance. If he fails, he will become prey for the highway robbers after dark.
It doesn't matter that he's overloaded and underfed. With this card, you have to do whatever it takes to get to completion -- nothing can be allowed to interfere.
In the Reversed Position
Lack of perspective on your life may impair your progress. The Ten of Wands reversed suggests that you are struggling to get a sense of perspective on the situation. A lack of objectivity may impair your ability to follow through and bring things to closure.
Try to rest yourself. Then step back to take another look at the big picture. If you feel too exhausted to work toward long-term goals, rest until your vision clears and you remember why it's worth the effort. Clear perspective leads to stronger motivation.
In the Advice Positon
The Ten of Wands in this position advises you to remember the true, simple heart of your youth and all the idealism it held. Now may be the time to reach deep into yourself and identify your purest, most wholesome impulses. As you do this, allow your optimistic and honorable side to see what's good about the world.
Look beyond the challenges, setbacks, disappointments and frustrations you tend to see so easily. As you reawaken your high minded inner child, you will refresh your daily life with a joyful purpose.
A powerful message is waiting for you! Get your Reconciliation Tarot Reading NOW...

How I built my Arduino LED Clock
In this post, I will show you how I built this clock which displays the time with 60 RGB LEDs, arranged in a circle. It can be read just like a regular clock, with the red LED indicating the seconds, the green LED the minutes and the blue LEDs the hours. It also has a built-in RTC module which keeps track of the time even when the clock isn't powered so you don't have to set it. Since this is only my second DIY/Arduino project (the first being a crude 3x3x3 LED cube), I made quite a lot of mistakes and there's a lot of room for improvement. You shouldn't see this article as an exact instruction how to build the clock, but rather as a source of inspiration which you can improve upon.
Here are all the parts I needed for the clock:
- a circular piece of wood (thickness: 14mm, diameter: 30.5cm)
- a wooden ring with roughly the same diameter as the other piece of wood
- 60 5mm common anode RGB LEDs
- perfboard
- an Arduino Nano
- a DS3231 Real-Time Clock module
- six 74HC595 shift registers
- four BC547B transistors
- 30 100Ω resistors
- 15 160Ω resistors
- a connector for a 9V battery
- about 8m each of red, green and blue isolated copper wire
- about 1m of black isolated copper wire
- silver-coated wire
- four bolts and nuts for the perfboard and three bolts and six nuts for the RTC module
- a few spare pieces of wood
These are the tools I used:
- a soldering iron
- a wire stripper
- a drill with 5mm and 6mm drill bits
- an electric screwdriver (you could also use the drill instead of this)
- a small saw
- a glue gun
- wood glue
- an acrylic pen
These are the two pieces of wood which I used for the clock. Luckily, there were lying around in my garage like that, so I didn't have to cut them out. The additional flat wooden ring that is attached to the thick wooden ring isn't necessary, but since it was there, I didn't bother to remove it and it ended up looking kind of neat in the end.
As the first step, I glued the two pieces together with some wood glue, making sure they were aligned correctly. I also treated them with some linseed oil to protect them and give them a darker stain.
Next, I prepared the wood for the drilling. The LEDs are inserted through holes from the back of the clock, so I drew a circle and 60 lines from the center of the clock, each line being six degrees from the previous one (6° x 60 = 360°). The intersections of the circle and the lines marked where I would drill the holes.
I drilled the holes according to the sketch above: Firstly, I drilled a 6mm hole only about 8mm deep, and then a 5mm hole all the way through. This allowed me to insert the LEDs from the back of the clock so they would stick out a bit on the front, but not fall through the holes.
After I drilled the holes, I glued these two pieces made from some spare wood to the back of the clock. The one on the top is for hanging the clock on a wall with a nail, the one on the bottom…
…holds the connector for the 9V battery, which I attached to the wood with hot glue.
After that, I drew the numbers on the front of the clock using a black acrylic pen.
Then, I glued the LEDs in place from the back of the clock with hot glue, bending the anode of the LEDs to the outside and the cathodes to the center. I also fixed four strips of silver-coated wire on the bottom of the wooden ring with some hot glue and later soldered them the anodes. Each strip is for one quarter of the clock so they can be turned on/off independently. Why this is necessary will become apparent later when I explain the wiring.
Here you can see the overhang the LEDs have at the front of the clock.
With the woodworking and gluing mostly finished, I moved on to the electronics. I soldered all parts to a small piece of perfboard according to the schematic below and also added isolated wire which later leads to the LEDs.
This is the schematic. I left the LEDs out to avoid it being too convoluted. The shift registers allowed me to turn a serial signal from the Arduino into a parallel output to the cathodes of the LEDs while the transistors can turn the power to the four quarters of anodes on and off.
This is the back of the perfboard where I soldered everything. Due to my lack of experience with soldering, it's not the cleanest job, but it works. Unfortunately, when I was testing the circuit, I accidentally shorted the Arduino and had to replace it, which was quite the ordeal (in this picture, the older one which I shorted is still in place).
After the circuit was finished, I connected it to the battery connector and the RTC module and fixed everything to the back of the clock.
For the perfboard, I used 4mm bolts. The nuts were used as spacers between the perfboard and the wood (you can't quite see them in this picture).
With the RTC module, I had to get a little more inventive: The module had three holes with a diameter of a little over 2mm which could be used to put 2mm bolts through them. The problem was that I don't have a 1mm drill bit to prepare a hole for the bolts, so I ended up gluing them upside-down to the wood and using two nuts for each bolt to hold the RTC module in place. It's not a very elegant solution, but since the bolts don't have to endure a lot of stress, it works.
At this point, it's time to explain the wiring: The circuit has 15 outputs for each color, which I connected to the corresponding cathodes of the 15 LEDs of one quarter (in the picture, you can see the wiring for the blue LEDs). I then connected the cathodes of the four quarters to each other in the following fashion: The first cathode of quarter one with the first cathode of quarter two, the second cathode of quarter one with the second cathode of quarter two and so on. To complete the circuit, each silver-coated wire to which the anodes are connected was connected with one of the four transistors on the perfboard. This means that I could reduce the 180 outputs you would need if you would have one output for each cathode (60 LEDs x 3 colors) to 45 outputs. To display something on the clock, multiplexing (you might know this technique from LED cubes and matrices) is used: Firstly, the LEDs in the first quarter are powered and receive their signals from the circuit. These signals also reach all the LEDs in the other quarters, but since they have no power, they don't light up. Then, the power for the first quarter is turned off and the second quarter is powered. It also receives its signals and is turned off again. When the third and fourth quarter have also received their signals this way, the process is repeated all over again. This happens dozens of times in one second and is so fast that the human eye perceives the LEDs which were really only turned on a quarter of the time to be permanently lit. This video also explains the method quite well.
This is the finished back of the clock with the green and red wires also connected. Now, everything that's left is the Arduino code, which you can find here. I used a DS3231 test sketch as a starting point and changed it so it displays the time with the LEDs. It can probably be improved quite a lot, so feel free to change it for your own project.
With the Arduino code uploaded, the project was finished! Sadly, after only one day, the battery was already dead, so I'm now powering it with a USB cable. Still, I really like the unique look of the clock and hope that you can draw a bit of inspiration from it!

WASHINGTON - The Trump administration is proposing a far-reaching change in the distribution of Title X family-planning funds that would make clinics that provide abortion services or referrals ineligible for the federal funding. The move would potentially defund Planned Parenthood by millions of dollars.
Under the proposal filed Thursday and announced Friday by the Department of Health and Human Services, the $260 million program would require a "bright line" of physical and financial separation between Title X services and providers that perform or support abortion services or refer to abortion as a method of family planning.
These requirements are similar to those that were in place, although not enforced, during Ronald Reagan's presidency. Unlike the Reagan regulation, the proposal will not prohibit counseling for clients about abortion. It does, however, take away the requirement that providers must offer pregnant women the opportunity for "neutral" and fact-based counseling regarding pregnancy termination unless she indicates she does not wish to receive such information.
Neither the White House nor HHS would comment publicly on the proposal, which was sent to the White House Office of Management and Budget for an interagency review. But antiabortion activists received a briefing by phone from administration officials on Friday and were quick to praise the measure as evidence of President Donald Trump's commitment to their cause.
Jeanne Mancini, president of the antiabortion group March for Life, praised the administration in a statement Friday for taking action to direct taxpayer dollars to centers that do not promote or perform abortions.
"This money will now be redirected to comprehensive family health and planning centers that don't perform abortions and understand that abortion is not health care," she said. "The pro-life grass roots will be pleased to see President Trump deliver on yet another pro-life promise, and we look forward to continued progress is restoring a culture of life here in the United States."
Trump has delivered on several top priorities for abortion foes since taking office. He has appointed several judges with a history of opposition to abortion to federal appellate courts, including Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. He reimposed a provision that bars federal funds from going to groups overseas that provide abortion referrals, which is known as the Mexico City policy. He signed legislation that allows states to withhold federal Title X funds from facilities that provide abortion services. And his administration has attempted to curtail the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program, which funds comprehensive sex education programs that can include information about abortion.
Many family planning experts, by contrast, said the plan could deprive Americans of access to the services they need to prevent unintended pregnancies.
Title X-funded health centers provide several basic services such as cancer screenings, birth control, sexually-transmitted-infection screenings, pregnancy testing and well-woman exams. While the changes do not affect the level of funding the government is providing, there has been a lot of alarm about how difficult it would be for smaller, community-based providers to absorb the vast number of patients served by Planned Parenthood. The organization - which receives $50 million to $60 million in Title X funds and serves an estimated 41 percent of the 4 million patients who receive care through the program - is by far the largest recipient of the grants.
The policy would have ripple effects far beyond Planned Parenthood. Susan Buchanan, chief executive of the Boulder Valley Women's Health Center, said in an interview Friday that it "puts us in the position of having to make a Hobbesian choice" of having to choose between the 90 percent of the clinic's patients that get a range of services from the clinic and the 10 percent that receive abortions.
The center is the only Title X recipient in Colorado that provides abortions, and the funding accounts for $550,000, or roughly 20 percent, of its annual budget.
Buchanan noted that the state had made major strides between 2009 and 2014 through the privately-funded Colorado Family Planning Initiative, which focused on providing women with long-acting reversible contraceptives. The state's teen birthrate dropped 50 percent during that five-year period, she said, avoiding at least $66 million in spending on entitlement programs such as food stamps. The center uses its federal funding to operate a free clinic for teenagers, which allows young women to obtain contraception without telling their parents or having to file insurance claims.
"They're shooting themselves in the foot, really," she said.
This week, more than 200 members of Congress - including Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Rep. Joseph Crowley, D-N.Y., - expressed their opposition to the change in a letter to Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar. "The move would disproportionately impact communities of color, the uninsured, and low-income individuals, and could reverse progress made in critical areas," they wrote.
Planned Parenthood as well as other proponents, such as Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, D, said Friday they were prepared to challenge the proposed rule in court. It will take several months before the rule will take effect, because HHS must first subject it to public comment, respond to that feedback, and issue a final version of the proposal.
"Washington has been, and will continue to be, a state that stands with women and their right to safe and legal abortion and reproductive care," Inslee said in a statement. "Attorney General Bob Ferguson is exploring our legal options, and if this administration insists on weaponizing the Title X program, I will work our legislative leaders to make sure that no matter what happens in DC, every woman in Washington state has access to all the family planning and health care services she needs."
Conservatives are confident that the new rules will withstand a legal challenge because similar Reagan-era requirements overcame a Supreme Court challenge.
David Christensen, vice president of government affairs for the Family Research Council, said in an interview that those standards required operations receiving Title X funds to be physically and financially separate from those performing abortions.
"Under Reagan, they could not be co-located, they couldn't refer for abortion," Christensen said.
In a conference call with reporters Friday, Planned Parenthood's leaders characterized the new rules as "draconian" and "an attack" on women's basic rights and safe, legal abortion.
"It's completely outrageous that a small group of people's ideological views are being pressed through these government agencies onto women's health care across the country," said Dawn Laguens, executive vice president of the organization.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists expressed deep concern about the anticipated changes, which the group says go far beyond the abortion debate.
"Anticipated changes to Title X pose an egregious intrusion in the patient-provider relationship and may force physicians to omit essential, medically accurate information from their patient counseling," Hal Lawrence III, the group's executive vice president and chief executive, said in a statement.
An administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the rule had not been issued yet, said that the changes would not necessarily result in the defunding of Planned Parenthood as long as the group is willing to "disentangle" their abortion-related services from family-planning services. However, Planned Parenthood officials have argued that informing women of all their choices - including abortion - is an integral part of the family-planning discussion, and on Friday, its leaders reiterated that they would not waver from that commitment.
Buchanan noted that eight years ago, it separated its family planning and abortion provider operations to comply with requirements imposed by then-Gov. Bill Owens, R, but was disqualified from receiving state family planning funds anyway.
"We separated into two different corporate structures. We had separate books, insurance, separate boards, separate everything," she said. "It doesn't matter what you do, they'll figure out a way to disqualify you.

Referral Scheme
edited January 2019 in General Board
Endless Conquest aside, it would be nice to have a referral scheme, whereby if we manage to get a previously cancelled player to resubscribe for X months or dare I say it a new player to start playing and commit to a long term subscription, you can earn yourself a GTC as a thank you. Have we ever done this? Works in other industries from ISPs and telephony providers, to streaming services etc.

Thursday letters: What's the deal with rescinding security clearances?
Much ado about …
Regarding "Trump punishes ex-CIA director" (Page A1, Aug. 16), it seems to me that all political appointees should have their clearances automatically revoked on Inauguration Day of a new administration. Then, if there are one or two that the new administration thinks could be useful as consultants later, they could be re-investigated and new clearances issued.
Also, revocation of fomer CIA Director John Brennan's clearance in no way causes a change in his constitutional right to freedom of speech. This has been amply demonstrated by his continued Twitter comments, press conferences and public appearances. A security clearance neither enhances nor suppresses one's freedom of speech. So what's all the fuss in the press about?
As to all those protesting this revocation by requesting the president to revoke their clearances also, here's an easy solution for them. Notify the press and then simply remove your wallet, take out your security ID Card and stick it into the nearest shredder. There! Protest mission accomplished.
Kent Marshall, Missouri City
All over TV
I am really amazed at all of the noise and outrage expressed regarding the revoking of the security clearance of John Brennan. Over and over again the leftist media and the letter from some former intelligence officials claim that such action will "stifle free speech" of him.
It seems to me that the only free speech it stifles is whatever top secret information to which he had access can no longer be blabbed over all of the television appearances he has had. Actually he has stepped up his TV appearances and has said he will not relent.
Where is it written that he should have a top level security clearance for life?
R. G. Roenigk, Houston
So what?
Security clearances are not a free ticket to look at or have access to any and every top secret document. Confidential, secret and top secret clearances are given with a restriction of "need to know." In other words, unless you have a need to know to properly do your job, you do not or should not have access to confidential data.
Additionally, security clearances are not licenses to discuss confidential information with other persons even though they have a similar clearance. As an example: If you are employed by the CIA with a top secret clearance, you cannot look at any and all material within the CIA. Also you cannot discuss material with others having a similar clearance without having the need to know.
I had a top secret clearance in the Army years ago. After leaving the military I was debriefed and have no expectations that my clearance allows me to have access to any confidential information or would benefit me in any way. The clearance was for a specific job with which I no longer have a connection.
If I were to be employed by any company or governmental agency that requires a clearance they would do a new security-clearance investigation.
Don Mendel, Fayetteville
Political theater
It seems to me that some questions and their answers are missing in the current security clearance fiasco. One can certainly question the need for a continued security clearance after a person has left a position that requires it. However, the unanswered question is "do those like John Brennan having a security clearance continue to get briefings that mandate such a clearance?" If so, who is providing the briefing and for what purpose?
Until this question is answered, it seems to me that the question of revoking a security clearance is simply a lot of political theater.
Richard Patyrak, Missouri City

Last updated - Dec 2018
Pages in this series
Map 1 - Basic driving related characterstics of work journeys
2 - Maps with other characterics including other modes of travel.
Slower to load and more complex to use.
3 - Oxford to Cambridge travel patterns
Notes on methodology
Where should we locate homes and jobs for the best effect on travel patterns?
The locations of homes and workplaces are a major factor relating to how much, and what type of travel is produced. This is important in terms of traffic congestion, climate change, pollutants, and the health of people (in terms of their levels of activity and the effects of pollutants). Currently it is of especial importance in the UK given the rush to build homes to 'solve the housing crisis', and the recent weakening of planning controls concerning the locations of new build.
The aim of these maps is to demonstrate which areas produce high and low levels of car use in relation to other modes of travel, and to show the types of area where different types of mode can flourish, or not. They may also demonstrate the scope for behaviour adaptation.
What's on this page/ in this analysis
The first two links on the left are to mapping relating to the commuting travel characteristics for
England and Wales, using 2011 census data.
I hope that they will be of use to those interested in a particular area
and comparing that area to others,
but also, more generally, for seeing the types of area where
transport impacts of new housing or other development
might cause problems.
The 3rd map (Oxford to Cambridge) is a fixed scale set of maps with commentary, related to the scope for non car based travel in the Oxford to Cambridge corridor which is currently the subject of a proposal for an "expressway" and a massive allocation for housing.
The maps show circles describing travel characteristics for each Middle level Super Output Area (MSOA) zone, each of which have a population of around 8000 people.
The first two links differ in terms of what they show:
In all cases the circles vary in size, usually according to the resident or working population. They also vary in colour, according to some travel behaviour related measure.
You can zoom in and out using the buttons at the top left,
and use the blue movement buttons to move in different directions.
I'm sorry, but you can't use the mouse wheel or drag the map. Firstly, I don't know how to write the code for that, and secondly, even if I did I think it would take some time for the map to change by which time you'd have zoomed in or out way too far, or moved across to Japan!
Help with interpreting the maps
Small section example maps are shown below:
Driver distance per resident (left) and Driver distance per job (right)
Average distances maps (Map Set 2)
When on the map page, clicking on each coloured button displays a different map.
Kms driven per resident or job (also on Map 1)
Distance driven divided by working residents or number of jobs. The average is about 6kms, with 25% of zones under 4kms and 25% over 8kms.
Kms travelled by all
Total distance is divide by residents, or number of jobs. The average is about 9km with 25% below 7kms and 25% over 11kms. Mauve is over 13kms.
Km distance per driver
Total distance driven divided by the number of residents/ workers who drive to work, giving the average distance for those who drive. The average is about 11kms with the quartiles at 9 and 13kms. Mauve is over 15kms.
% of travel distance that is as driver
The total driver commutes is divided by the total distance of commutes. Red and mauve show cases where over 75% and 90% is as driver.
Indications of areas with predominance of short or long journeys (Map Set 2)
When on the map page, clicking on each coloured button displays a different map.
These maps give an indication as to the extent to which shorter journeys to work (less than 5kms) outnumber longer journeys (over 30kms). The red circles are for longer journeys while the green ones represent shorter journeys. In effect, the greener the image, the more short journeys predominate.
One is for the journeys people make from home, while the other is for journeys centred on job locations.
Numbers of trips by different groups of modes (Map Set 2)
When using the map page, clicking on each coloured button displays a different map.
Public transport
The proportion who's main method of travel to work is bus, train, metro or taxi, with each category being broad in its definition. So bus includes works buses, and metro includes all forms of light rail.
The national average is about 8% while the lower and upper quartiles are about 5% and 14%. In 10% of cases over 29% use public transport - virtually all of these are in London with a few in Birmingham, Manchester and other large cities.
Active travel
The percentage who's main method of travel to work is walking or cycling.
The national average is about 15% while the lower and upper quartiles are about 12% and 20%. In 10% of cases over 24% walk or cycle - These are found in the centres of most cities, and throughout Oxford, Cambridge, York Cambridge and a many smaller towns.
The percentage who's main method of travel to work is driving a car or van.
The national average is 65%, while the quartiles are 52% and 74%. In 10% of cases over 80% drive. The lower figures are found in London, other large cities and historic cities, where public transport and active modes are more common. The highest rates are found in rural areas, but also many suburban areas. For workplaces central locations have low figures, but out of centre locations have high rates of driving.
The percentage who's main method of travel to work is none of the above, but who do travel to work. This is mainly car passenger, and also powered two wheelers, and "other" which can include ferries etc.
The national average is 7%, while the quartiles are 5% and 8%. In 10% of cases over 10% drive. Teh patterns are complex, but it seems that the highest rates are found in areas where wages are low and where car ownership is low. It seems to correllate quite well with areas of deprivation, which seems to indicate that public transport provision may improve areas' wellbeing?
% of all residents' cars used for commute
This divides the number of residents who record driving a car to work as their main mode by the number of cars recorded as available to all in the residential zone. It's comparing two different sources, but is illuminating. The averahe is 54% with the quartiles at 46 and 60%. In the highest 10% over 63% of cars are used for commuting. The patterns are, again, complex, as an area with an ageing population may have many cars which will not be used for commuting. In affluent areas car ownership is higher so more cars may be used by non workers. But in areas with higher levels of deprivation but poor public transport there may be an element of 'forced' car ownership.
What do the maps tell us? (preliminary comments)
The maps contain a huge amount of information and this can be interpreted in different ways. So far I have looked at the maps and compared what they show with what I know of urban, suburban and rural geography. I'm working on using regression and other analysis techniques to make more quantitative sense of them. In the meantime, and to my mind, the main conclusions are:
Further detailed comments are given in the 'Map 3' maps for the Oxford to Cambridge area, and many of these comments give hints as to similar patterns relating to settlements in different areas.

What does this mean?
A down valuation is when a surveyor advises the buyer's mortgage provider that the property is not worth the sale price that has been agreed. This is a relatively common occurrence, which is worth being prepared for as a seller and doing what you can from the initial stages of home selling to prevent this from becoming an issue further down the line.
What you can do prior to your listing being published
Listing price
It is important to make sure that your property is listed at a fair price from the start, and not inflated through fear that potential buyers may try to negotiate the price down. Inflating the initial price may only deter potential buyers from viewing, restrict the size of the prospective market that can afford your home, and reduce the amount of buyer competition.
Moreover, if a buyer does make you an offer based upon an inflated initial valuation, and is using a mortgage, it is likely that their lender will down value the property later on, and unless the buyer is able to bridge the gap with cash, they will either have to withdraw from the purchase or you will have to reduce the agreed price in order for the sale to proceed.
Looking for the right buyer
When it comes to bank valuations, the report will be generated based upon the sale price of properties in the area, that are comparable in regards to the general layout and size. If you live in an area where the average selling price is £150,000 but you have just spent £20,000 on interior design, it is unlikely that this will be reflected in the valuation.
If this is the case and you are aware of the fact that your property may be down valued, but that this does not reflect the true value when taking into account the amount that you have invested, it is important that you are honest with buyers about this from the beginning, and that you make sure that they are able to purchase the property using a larger than standard deposit, so that they are able to bridge the gap between any disparities in the valuation and sale price.
Arranging a survey of your property prior to it going on the market
It may also be worth considering organizing a home buyers report prior to listing your property if you're worried that some issues may crop up later on. This is a necessary requirement for homes being sold in Scotland, and can help you come to a more stable agreement with your buyer prior to the solicitors beginning the conveyancing process, which will in turn save time and money for you and the buyer by preventing further negotiations later into the sale.
What can I do after the property has been down valued?
Decrease the agreed sale price
When a home is down valued and your buyer is unable or not willing to bridge the gap between the valuation and agreed on sale price, rather than putting your property back on the market straight away, it is always worth having a direct conversation with your buyer to see if compromise can be made on both sides to come to a newly agreed price, especially if your sale is time sensitive and an onward purchase depends upon it.
Order your own survey or home buyers report
You may wish to order your own homebuyers report or structural survey so that you are able to see in more detail the changes that need to be made to your property, in order to increase the value of your home in the eyes of the lenders.
Put the property back on the market and wait for a cash buyer
If you are not under any pressure time wise, and wish to re-publish your property in order to achieve the original sale price rather than negotiate, you can do so straight away. You should, however, make sure that any future interested parties are cash buyers, or have a larger than average deposit, as any future surveys will most likely generate the same results, and you wouldn't want to be in the same position twice.
