Looking back over 2013 there's a strange dichotomy. On the surface, my work has gone from strength to strength and I've had my best success since I started almost 4 years ago. Below the surface, there has been a lot of gnashing of teeth and tearing of hair, but that is more from expectations I have put upon myself than publishing problems. It's always nice to stop playing turtle and remind myself how things are going.
|Happy Cat is Happy...also probably drunk
My three big sales also qualify me for various awards, like the John W. Campbell Award for best new author, and if anyone feels so inclined they would be my choices for being put forward for nomination within the Short Story catagory of next year's Sir Julius Vogel Awards.
To save you a click through to my Bibliography Page, here Amanda's Big Three For 2013:
- "Blood Stone Water" - Beneath Ceaseless Skies, March 28, 2013
- "Second Skin" - Crossed Genres Magazine #6, "She", June 2013
- "The Mary-Jane Effect" - Wily Writers, September 14, 2013
The Good: I had eleven stories published this year, which is a huge improved on three from 2012. All of them were in paying venues, from token up to pro. Four of them were in anthologies, two of which were Crossed Genres Publications. Along with "Second Skin" in the June issue of their magazine, I've had an excellent relationship with CG editors Bart and Kay...so thank you, my peeps.
The other anthology I'm very proud of is "Regeneration" which was released at Au Contraire in July. I'm glad the editors took a punt on my really weird story, the cover artwork is fabulous, and the line up of stories was exceedingly strong. I would like to see it nominated for Best Collected Work at the SJVs.
For a further list of my other stories from this year, check out my Bibliography. I'm quite partial to "A Fear of Falling Under" from Septembers Future Fire.
Speaking of Au Contraire...what a convention! It was so lovely to catch up with people who are just generally names on Twitter or Facebook. I did my first ever con panels, and had a fab time hanging out with some really great people.
And speaking of good people...I've had really lovely support from people, mostly remotely, to help motivate me through, cheerlead, and wave banners for my success. Thank you Andi Buchanen, Liz Gatens, Helen Lowe, Cassie Hart, Lynne Jamneck, Lee Murray, Debbie Cowens, Matt Cowens, Dan Rabarts, Cat Langford, Marie Hodgkinson, The Christchurch Crew, Lisette Ingram, Sunny Moraine, Benjanun Sriduangkaew, AC Wise, and all you other wonderful people who have been there for me in one way or another, whether its conversations on Facebook or helping our with professional links and advice. Sounds like an award speech! Really, you've all been so helpful this year.
Words wise, I set myself a target of 5000 words a week. In the latter half of the year I realized I wouldn't quite reach that, so set myself a yearly tally of 200 000 words, which I passed with days to spare. I'm very pleased that for sheer volume of raw words, I wrote basically a couple of novels worth of short stories.
The Bad: My raw words data and output did not always translate into completed projects. 2013 was the year I had more unfinished and trunked stories than previously. Not simply because I was writing to raw output numbers, but because I was being a lot pickier and harder on myself, pushing myself to improve. This push to improve is definitely a good thing - it's becoming easier to recognize what my style looks like, what I like to write, and what form my good writing takes. However, it's still not easy on my work ethic when my magpie brain is all over the place, and I'm discarding things quicker. Yeah, I beat myself up a lot. I am hard on myself, because I don't have the luxury of waiting to improve over a 20 year period. Because of the age I started writing I need to hit my stride quicker.
I won't lie - trying to find my comfort level for input vs output is still very difficult. Some weeks I'm just trucking along and loving the story, other weeks I fail massively and can barely conceive that I can actually wurd like a pro should (with appropriate mental beat-up). I sometimes think I should have a better plan with an end goal (go novel? creating a collection? self publish?), but I still like the freedom of writing short stories. Of course, you're not seeing any of this - writing can look a little bit like magic on the surface, but in reality its a lot of lonely hard work (I'm not going to call it grind, because I do love it even when it sucks), a lot of frustration and waiting, and a lot of second guessing. And even when I DO have something great happen, like a sale or praise, I'm still all "Nahhhh, that's not me...it's just a fluke". And then I have to remind myself "Yeah, you are good, and you're getting better. Believe in yourself."
|Fun now, sparkly poopz later
It's a win-win
Out of my control, I had two stories that did not see publication, one because the magazine folded before its final issue went to print, and another because of a tricky political situation when a small press was absorbed by another (and subsequently ran into its own problems, after I pulled my story from consideration). Along with the mountains of rejection I've negotiated the last few years, I took these challenges in my stride - I was sad to not see these stories go to print, but I am hopeful that because they were originally accepted by editors they can be again.
To Sum Up: Yeah, 2013 has been pretty good. Thanks for reading. I hope 2014 is even better.

Alex Curran will defy Capello's WAG ban at World Cup
Alex Curran has revealed that she will disobey Fabio Cappello's World Cup WAGs ban if England reach the semi-finals, according to a report.
Curran's husband is the Liverpool footballer Steven Gerrard, who was appointed England captain following Rio Ferdinand's withdrawl following an injury.
Alex told the News of the World that she would fly off to South Africa to watch her hubby play if England reach the latter stages of the tournament.
She said: "Steven will definitely be a great captain. I know he'll do a good job like he does at Liverpool, and I'm sure they'll all pull together.
"I've decided to stay at home in England to watch the early games and will only go to South Africa if they make the semi-finals.
"From what I hear, not many wives or girlfriends are going out there – unless the team gets to the final that is.
"Nothing's been organised this year by the FA, so if we want to go we'll have to make our own plans."
WAG Alex Curran also added: "If we do make it to the semi-finals – and my fingers and toes are firmly crossed – I'll have to sort out my travel plans at the last minute.
"I can go as long I don't come into contact with Steven. I don't think I'll be able to see him at all. I'd be there just to go to the games."
Well done to that WAG Alex..

HostMemoryLow error - windows 2008r2 x64 host

Description (last modified by aeichner) (diff)
I'm getting the dreaded HostMemoryLow message on a windows host. I have looked through the forums and can see this error has been round for a while now, with no fix being made available. A couple of posts have said to try sysinternals cacheset utility. I have tried this (setting max size to 10% of physical memory) but still get this error.
This error manifests itself after I have started 5 guests (details below) which run ok - when I start the 6th guest (it doesnt matter if its a windows or linux guest) then the guest VM is paused with the HostMemory low error. There is plenty of memory available to the guest according to taskmanager/resource monitor (4GB ).
Please could somebody spare the time to look into this problem in order to provide a fix - I would rather stay with VirtualBox but will have to go over to VMware if there is no resolution forthcoming.
VirtualBox = 4.0.2 r69518

Did you ever install an older version of VirtualBox, namely 3.2.12 and was it different with this version?
Please could you attach the complete VBox.log file?
And does this happen as well if you disable the preview function in the GUI?
comment:2 Changed 8 years ago by lenny
The previous versions we have had running which also experienced this error were: 4.0.0 3.2.8 3.1.6 ( this was on w2k3 server 32 bit but error popped up after running 3 vms)
I disabled the preview function by right clicking in the GUI details area and un-ticking preview (is this the correct way to disable preview ?) , and then managed to recreate the error - see full vbox.log attached.
If you need me to test against 3.2.12 or to provide any other info/diagnostics then please let me know.
comment:3 Changed 8 years ago by lenny
hmm the last post the formatting didnt work as expected. It was only version 3.1.6 which we ran on w2k3 32 bit, the others were on the current platform w2k8 x64.
comment:4 Changed 3 years ago by aeichner
- Status changed from new to closed
- Resolution set to obsolete
- Description modified (diff)
Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release.

Russian & US anthems confused by South Koreans at speed skating championship in Seoul (VIDEO)
Kulizhnikov stood with his medal – joined on either side by the Netherlands' Kjeld Nuis and Kai Verbij – at the ISU World Sprint Speed Skating Championships in Seoul on February 28. Ready to hear the familiar notes of the Russian national anthem, Kulizhnikov instead heard about four or five seconds from the American one.
The person in charge of the music apparently quickly realized their mistake, before stopping it in favor of the correct tune.
TASS heard a statement from South Korea's ice skating association spokesman, who admitted to the mishap, but confirmed that the mistake lasted for only a few seconds, before the correct tune was played.
"We offer our sincere apologies for this technical error," he added. Russia's sports minister Vitaly Mutko issued his own statement, saying that the incident will not go unnoticed.
"This is not the first time this has happened. We will likely be notifying the international federation. Our own representatives must also do their job and pay attention to these things. This is negligence by the organizers, some people simply can't act in a responsible manner. Don't wish to say this is deliberate," Mutko said, adding that people have really taken on a lax attitude in the sports tournament world.
Another time a mishap with the anthem happened was in Las Vegas, less than a year ago, when Russia took gold again –this time in wrestling, and the US played the old anthem for about 30 seconds, before finding the correct song.

Without even a show of harmony, Britain is treating its Saudi visitors to gilded carriages and a royal banquet not because of any real respect, but because of their oil wealth and strategic position. There is nothing new about such special treatment, of course, and the government would argue that however distasteful it is also essential. Saudi Arabia is Britain's principal ally in the Middle East, fundamentally involved not just in a trading relationship and the supply of oil, but in Iraq, counter-terrorism and the containment of Iran. It has a critical role to play in the forthcoming Middle East talks in Annapolis, Maryland. Successive British governments have exempted Saudi Arabia from laws and moral judgments that are applied to other nations because of this importance.
This has happened most ostentatiously in the favouritism shown to BAE Systems. Last month the company completed a deal to sell 72 Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft to Saudi Arabia for £4.43bn. That followed the attorney general's notorious decision to call off a fraud investigation into BAE's previous al-Yamamah contract, declaring that "it has been necessary to balance the need to maintain the rule of law against the wider public interest". This summer the Guardian reported, too, that BAE Systems had paid hundreds of millions of pounds to Prince Bandar bin Sultan, now King Abdullah's security adviser. He denies the charge, and is staying with the Saudi monarch at Buckingham Palace: a treatment that suggests Britain does not believe, or more likely does not care about, the accusations being made against him.
Morality clearly lies with the protesters expected to gather in London today, whose criticism of Saudi Arabia's human rights record is well placed. The Foreign Office itself does not question it, listing concern at "aspects of the judicial system; corporal and capital punishment; torture; discrimination against women and non-Muslims; and restrictions on freedom of movement, expression, assembly and worship". This week, it says, is not the time to discuss such issues. That sits uncomfortably with the prime minister's promise in his conference speech: "The message should go out to anyone facing persecution ... human rights are universal and no injustice can last forever."
Squaring such a bold claim with the unpleasant charade of the current state visit is impossible. The government is sticking to a policy sustained since the 1980s: "Do nothing to upset the Saudi royal family." It must go down as one of Britain's most dubious but most long-lived goals. It has not done much to help the people of Saudi Arabia and nor has it prevented the spread of terrorism: Osama bin Laden is Saudi; so were 15 of the suicide bombers on September 11 2001. Realpolitik is supposed to produce benefits. As Britain's royal and political elite pay homage to the ruler of an intolerant, brutal and theocratic regime, it is worth asking exactly what those benefits are.

Evergreen jockey Jim Cassidy wrapped up a winning double for trainer John O'Shea with Sea Siren taking out the Group 2 $175,000 Patinack Farm Light Fingers Stakes (1200m) at Warwick Farm on Saturday.
Cassidy had early in the day scored on Warwick Farm for O'Shea in the Group 2 $175,000 NSW Thoroughbred Breeders Classic (1200m) and showed that he has lost none of his skill and determination with a top class ride on Sea Siren.
The Fastnet Rock filly was stepping up sharply in class but with a solid barrier trial under her belt Cassidy was certain he had a fit horse underneath him.
"She is a very, very good filly," Cassidy said.
"We knew she had to be up in the first three and we thought she was up to them.
"The way she worked on Tuesday we came here very confident," Cassidy said.
All pre race plans had to be thrown out the window when predicted leader Karuta Queen missed the start again and Cassidy was quick to react and pushed Sea Siren up outside the leader.
Sea Siren hit the lead in the straight and held off the late challenge of the short priced favourite Streama who was held up in traffic at a crucial stage.
O'Shea's foreman Bryce Heyes agreed with Cassidy's thoughts that Sea Siren was an above average filly.
"She was dynamite when she worked on Tuesday," he said.
"It was a massive step in grade for her but we were very, very confident."
Queanbeyan trainer Neville Layt will be giving Karuta Queen a short break after her below average performance to finish ninth, seven lengths from the winner after missing the start for the second time in her last two starts.
Layt took Karuta Queen to Melbourne for the Rubiton Stakes last week when she ran an unlucky fourth behind Eagle Falls after blowing the start and then saddled her up a week later in the Light Fingers.
"She just raced flat and that's not like her," Layt said.
"We'll give her three or four weeks off and freshen her up."

The North Carolina NAACP and the Forward Together Moral Movement to Appeal Directly to Legislators for Repeal of Extreme Laws at People's Lobby & Advocacy Day
Tuesday, May 27, 2014
9 am
Halifax Mall (behind the General Assembly)
16 West Jones St, Raleigh, NC 27601
Included: A new video release on May 19's Moral Monday.
DURHAM, NC - The North Carolina NAACP and the Forward Together Moral Movement will return to the People's House this Tuesday, May 27 to lobby our lawmakers directly to repent for the harm inflicted by their ideological choices, to repeal these extreme laws that are hurting our state's most vulnerable and to restore our confidence in their capacity to govern for the good of the whole.
At the Forward Together Moral Movement People's Lobby & Advocacy Day, grassroots volunteer lobbyists from across North Carolina will visit state legislators to advocate for returning public policy to the moral center - particularly for the expansion of Medicaid, the restoration of the Earned Income Tax Credit, the extension of unemployment benefits, increased support for teachers and public schools, stronger environmental regulation around coal ash and a fair tax code that does not give huge windfalls to the wealthy and corporations, only to overburden the working poor.
"Last Monday, we entered the General Assembly with tape over our mouths to dramatize Speaker Thom Tillis's and Senate Leader Phil Berger's tyrannical attempt to silence public petitions in the People's House," said Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II, president of the NC NAACP and architect of the Forward Together Moral Movement. "We said it then, and we will say it again, that was the last time we will be silent when our brothers and sisters are suffering under these extreme policies and laws. This Tuesday, we will go into the People's House ready to make our voices heard on behalf of thousands of North Carolinians. By visiting each and every North Carolina legislator in person, we hope to remind them that their political choices are more than just policy debates - they are hurting real people."
At the People's Lobby & Advocacy Day, volunteer lobbyists will gather at 9 am on Halifax Mall behind the General Assembly building to listen to a policy briefing from scholars and to receive advocacy instructions. The assembled will break into smaller lobbying teams around 10:30 am and head into the General Assembly to visit the offices of our state legislators to advocate for repeal. The volunteer lobbyists will reconvene at Halifax Mall at 12 pm for a Poor Man's Lunch where they will stand and break bread in solidarity with the working poor.
Also at 9 am, members of the clergy will hold a program for lawmakers entitled: "Moral Foundations for Public Policy: Bible and Prayer Study" in the General Assembly for those interested in discussing the social mandates instrumental to our faith traditions. Information on the specific room for the Bible and Prayer Study will be forthcoming.
The Forward Together Moral Movement has also released a new video on May 19's Moral Monday rally and action. See below:

Mackenzie Wilson, a 9 year-old straight-A student from Stevensville, Maryland, started a Kickstarter campaign twoo days ago with her mom to help pay for a role-playing game coding camp through RPG maker so she can create her own game. The campaign reached its goal 20 times over.
"Ultimately I want to learn to program really cool stuff, but since I'm 9 I'm starting with RPG Maker because it lets me create something awesome without having to know how to actually program everything," she wrote in the project description. (Her mom helped.)
The request was modest: To earn $ 829 to pay for the tuition. Her family would pay for the overnight camp aspect of the bill.
Mackenzie also wanted to prove her older brothers wrong. Her brothers won't let her play role-playing games with them and told her they didn't think she could build a game.
Her brothers are eating crow now, because little Mackenzie has raised $ 17,024 in just two days.
Mackenzie and her mom figured that while they were at it, they would use their case to raise awareness for girls in computing. Her campaign had the good fortune to coincide with the controversy surrounding female developer evangelist Adria Richards.
"It's no secret there aren't enough females in STEM professions so part of my Kickstarter campaign is aimed at raising awareness and getting girls thinking about careers in technology at an early age," Mackenzie wrote.
"I want to create an RPG that isn't too violent and isn't filled with bad words, still has a good story line & cool graphics, but has shorter cut scenes, less menus & fewer controls," she said.
We wonder if she'll let her brothers play.

|End-of-Year US Tax Settlement Encourages Foreign Property Investors
The president enacted the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act of 2015, extending several temporary tax relief provisions either permanently or for two or five years.
PATH also amends the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) to make US real property significantly more attractive for certain foreign investors. FIRPTA imposes US federal income tax on foreign investors' income and disposals of US real property, including interests in corporations that hold more than a threshold amount of US real property.
The amendments allow foreign investors to purchase up to 10 per cent of a US publicly traded real estate investment trust (REIT) without being subject to FIRPTA taxation. This is twice the previous threshold. They also abolish an additional tax imposed by FIRPTA on qualifying foreign pension funds that invest in US real estate.
The exemption for Regulated Investment Company (RIC) dividends paid to non-resident alien individuals and foreign corporations, and the treatment of RICs as qualified investment entities under FIRPTA, are also being permanently extended.
Reliefs permanently extended by PATH include the Subpart F active financing exception. There is also a five-year extension of the controlled foreign corporation look-through rule for taxable years beginning before 2020.
The opinions expressed do not constitute investment advice and specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

It's a well-known fact that digital sensors offer greater image quality than their film counterparts. But they also have a reputation for being easy to break and complicated to use, which begs the question: are they worth the investment? The answer is yes—as long as you know what to look for.
High image quality should be at the top of your priority list for intraoral sensor technology. This is the key to keeping your diagnostic capabilities at the highest level. In addition, the ideal intraoral sensor is designed with ergonomics and durability in mind to ensure patient comfort and guard against breakage. Ease of use is also a must, because you want a sensor that will facilitate—and not complicate—your workflow. All of these features should be your baseline to measure against as you choose the right intraoral sensor for your practice.
Watch the following video to see how the manufacturing process at Carestream Dental ensures its sensors meet and exceed the expectations of dental health professionals.
Testing, testing and more testing throughout the manufacturing process lie at the heart of how Carestream Dental ensures RVG* sensors are of the highest quality. They are designed and built on the insight of customers and many years of experience in the imaging industry. It's easy to understand why there are 200,000 RVG sensors in use worldwide.

What is Remarketing?
Remarketing is a tool used by advertising networks. Basically, it is targeting the same group of people repeatedly, pointing out the advantages of using a certain product or group of products that the advertiser would like you to buy.
Remarketing—Powerful Tool For Conversion
Since we now have the internet, people are inundated with information about a vast array of things and subjects. The more times that an advertiser is able to put something (like a certain brand of computer, for instance, in front of the same consumer, the higher the chance there is of that consumer buying that computer. This is The way remarketing works is very simple. Advertisers have known for millenia that the more a person is exposed to a product or group of products the more likely they are to buy that product. For example, a person who is repeatedly exposed to the sight of a pie will be more likely to buy a pie. A person who is repeatedly exposed to the sight of someone smoking is more likely to smoke. In fact, they will be more likely to smoke the same brand that they saw being smoked. This is why advertisers talk about "brand recognition". When people recognize something, they are more likely to buy that than they would something they had never seen before. This is remarketing. retargeting.
Raises Conversion Rates
This is why remarketing and retargeting are so effective. How effective are they? Some studies have shown that if a group of people are shown the same images repeatedly the chances that they will buy that product can rise from the 10%-20% range to over 50%. This is something like a 150% increase in the number of consumers of that particular product. However, it is important that the brand also be shown repeatedly, because people are more likely to remember brands than website names. So if someone can incorporate the brand name of the item they are selling into the name of the website they are using to sell, that will increase the chances of the consumer buying off that website.
Our Retargeting / Remarketing Solutions
The websites more likely to be viewed We use algorithms which can predict which group of people will be viewing which type of website at what hour of the day. So we can repeatedly show these consumers the same product(maybe from different viewpoints) from the different websites that they tend to view. For example, colored women age 20-30 will view different websites and buy different products than middle-aged white males would. So the products shown on the websites more likely to be viewed by the first group will be different from the products shown on tby the second group.
Facebook and other social media, like Twitter and Pintrest, offer up an advertiser's dream. These websites, in an effort to reach as many people as possible, categorize their consumers by age, gender, income level, race, and as many other differing variables as the makers of facebook could think of. There are groups on Facebook catering to almost every category and subcategory of people imaginable. So it is no wonder that the ads on Facebook are so numerous and repetitive. People are shown the same products, the same brands, being used in ways they didn't even imagine that they could be used.
Regarding Twitter and Pintrest and other social media of this type, ad networks on these sites are in a really nice environment. Not only do these websites offer up groups of consumers already categorized, but they have a very limited space in which to "tweet" or "pin. That's because these sites run almost entirely on media. Pictures and videos take up most of the space and so the display ads that are run tend to blend right in and not be noticed. Which is good, because people tend to resent too many ads, but if they are arranged correctly on Twitter and Pintrest, the consumers won't even realize that they're being retargeted.
Mobile phones/laptops/ and tablets used not to have many advertisements. Then the advertisers discovered that everyone seemed to be using these devices. So now we have repeated advertisements appearing on all the applications that are being written to take advantage of the mobile devices. Retargeting on mobile is very effective, especially because consumers are always on their devices. They're handy, portable, convenient and a great way to target consumers. And once a consumer has been targeted, they can be retargeted many times, thus increasing the chances of a purchase through the phone.

Description Edit
The Paladin is a reliable, durable weapon developed by law enforcement looking for a high-powered but easily concealed sidearm for undercover agents. Surprisingly small for its hitting power, the Paladin is a variant on the Carnifex pistol. While it has a smaller clip than the Carnifex, its shots are unquestionably more powerful.
Acquisition Edit
Weapons are randomly rewarded through purchases of item packs. The M-77 Paladin is categorized as ultra-rare.
Player Notes Edit
- The Paladin functions very similarly to the M-6 Carnifex, albeit with half the clip size, less spare ammo capacity and over 1.5x the damage (when compared at the same level). It is also significantly heavier.
- The Paladin's main drawback is its extremely low thermal clip and reserve capacity: only 3 shots in the thermal clip and 21 in reserve without upgrades. This makes the Paladin the heavy pistol with the second lowest capacity in the game, with fewer shots than some shotguns and sniper rifles. In order to maximize effectiveness, it is recommended to go for headshots whenever possible or weaken the target with powers first.
- A Paladin, even at level 1, can kill any basic troops with a headshot in Silver difficulty, even better if a Pistol High-Caliber Barrel is attached. This makes the weapon on par with a N7 Valiant when it comes to Damage Per Second (DPS), with Valiant having a much longer range and faster reload and Paladin having much more damage per shot.
- A Paladin X, especially if modified with a Pistol Scope and a Pistol Magazine Upgrade, can act as a substitute for a sniper rifle; at this point having similar statistics and range. However, its shallower firing profile and lower recoil mean that it is faster to aim and re-sight. Foregoing the Scope for the Pistol High-Caliber Barrel and the Pistol Piercing Mod makes it on par with a Black Widow in medium range encounters.
- The Pistol Magazine Upgrade can be very useful for extra damage per clip, but it will only increase the shot capacity by 2 shots. A Pistol Piercing Mod can devastate Guardians, Reapers protected by armor plating (such as those of the Brute and the Marauder's enhancement) and light cover, but it loses some of its punch with penetration. A Pistol High-Caliber Barrel will give the Paladin enough power to eliminate unprotected enemies in one shot, and some shielded enemies in two. A Pistol Scope could provide a longer ranged option, but peripheral vision is decreased when zoomed in.
- Recent updates made the Paladin lighter and slightly more powerful, however it is still the heavy pistol with the second biggest weight penalty.

Today's Sustenance
Today's Reflection
Can we just say everybody was right? Bernie folks, y'all were right. We should have picked Bernie. Hillary folks were right. She only lost because of Comey, misogyny, and Wikileaks and Bernie would have lost even more. It is absolutely correct that we should focus all our energies on a recount. It is absolutely correct that the recount is a stupid waste of time.
Any reason for our loss of the Electoral College is probably a good one. Stein voters cost us? Probably. Didn't reach out to enough coal miners? All right, sure. Reached out to too many coal miners? All right, samesies.
Let's just stipulate that every one of us is a political science expert and we are each simultaneously one hundred percent correct about how we got here, what we should have done, and what we need to do next.
Good. Now that we all have an "I was right" prize, can we please stop wasting effort telling each other we're doing it wrong? We actually do have enough money, enough time, and enough energy to do everything that needs doing. We can support Foster Campbell's Louisiana Senate run AND support the recount. We can join the ACLU and urge the Electors to #DumpTrump. We can support each other in our efforts, even if our priorities aren't identical.
Want to reach out to white working class voters? Mazel Tov. Want to stand up for minorities now more than ever? Good! We don't have to choose. We must do it all. And we can, too, if we devote the time.
Today's Action
Shout out to my friend Carol Bernard for suggesting today's action. It's a postcard to #StopBannon! Steve Bannon is the propagandist and hate-monger that Trump has selected to be a Senior Advisor. It looks like Trump is the sort of guy who agrees with the last person he spoke to, so we need advisors close to him that are, well, not Steve Bannon.
For more on Bannon and why his appointment bodes ill for a fair and decent Trump administration, click here.
Today I'm sending a postcard to Donald Trump to tell him NOT BANNON. Lots of people are doing this, and the idea is to do it all at once, so try to do it today, if you can!
It's simple:
1. Get a postcard from your state - any picture that represents your state.
2. In the message section, write this simple message: NOT BANNON!
3. Sign your name if you wish
4. Address it as follows:
Donald Trump
c/o The Trump Organization
725 Fifth Avenue
New York, NY 10022
5. Affix a stamp - you can use a 34 cent postcard stamp, or a normal letter stamp.
6. Take a picture of your postcard that you can share on social media on Nov. 26-28th.
7. Drop it in the mail between Saturday, Nov 26th and Monday, Nov. 28th to create a concentrated avalanche of postcards.
8. On Nov. 26-28th, Tweet and share the heck out of your photo using the hashtags #postcardavalanche #stopbannon

The internal report is referred to in documents from the inquest into the death of Rodney David Marks, 32, an Australian astrophysicist, who died in Antarctica under mysterious circumstances.
The Herald on Sunday was last week granted access to the documents, which reveal heavy drinking and drug use at the American-run Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station.
The documents come from the New Zealand inquiry into Marks' death in 2000, which began after an autopsy in Christchurch discovered he had been poisoned by a fatal quantity of methanol.
They detail eight years of "legal, diplomatic and jurisdictional hurdles" faced by police - and have led to new rules being developed to deal with sudden deaths in Antarctica.
Wormald was trying to get copies of the foundation's inquiries into Marks' death, and contact details for the 49 other people who spent winter at the South Pole that year.
Letters reveal no foundation inquiries were provided to Wormald and the agency would not provide contact details for witnesses - only forwarding a questionnaire after approving the questions.
Wormald managed to get hold of one inquiry from a former employee. The report, by a foundation doctor, stated "when an individual aged 32 years dies unexpectedly, the matter warrants a homicide investigation".
The doctor said the inquiry should be carried out even though there was no evidence to suggest murder - or that the death was an accident.
Despite the advice, South Pole station staff were left free to clean Marks' room, disposing of potential evidence as rubbish.
The foundation also did nothing to halt the 49 people leaving Antarctica from disappearing across the world without being interviewed after landing in New Zealand. READ MORE

Sebastian Vettel secured his sixth pole position of the season after smashing the lap record at the Gilles Villeneuve circuit in Montreal.
The world champion – who leads this year's standings by 61 points – edged out Ferrari duo of Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa.
His team-mate Mark Webber ended up fourth with the McLaren pair of Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button struggling in fifth and seventh respectively.
But it was serene progress for Vettel at the front as Red Bull secured their eighth consecutive pole position – a run stretching back toBrazillast year.
His pole lap of 1.13.014 was over two-seconds quicker than Lewis Hamilton's pole-time set twelve months ago.
His performance was all the more remarkable considering his big crash yesterday at the exit of the last corner – dubbed the Wall of Champions
Vettel said: "It is a tricky track with the chicanes and the kerbs to understand. All in all I'm very happy, it's obviously a big step. But the big thing is tomorrow, conditions are very likely to change but how much we don't know."
But Red Bull did not have everything their own way.
Ferrari produced their strongest qualifying performance of the year so far with both drivers within a quarter of a second of Vettel.
Alonso added: "I feel good, I feel confident. We concentrate on qualifying on Saturday and this is the best result of the year for the team, second and third.
"Two tenths or one and a half tenths behind Red Bull is encouraging. I am looking forward to the race.
"Maybe it is the least important qualifying of the year with the weather forecast (for rain) and we are second and third. But still it is good to be as high as possible and we have a chance to win the race."
McLaren will be praying for rain as they boldly decided to opt for a wet-weather aerodynamic package.
Team principal Martin Whitmarsh told the BBC that the forecasts suggested a 60% chance of rain on Sunday.
Webber ended a difficult day with fourth on the grid but said he was happy.
The Australian had to miss the final practice session on Saturday morning because of a KERS failure and the team were unable to fix it before qualifying.
It's a bit of a shame for Mark," Vettel said. "He was not able to run this morning, so that makes it hard to find a rhythm, but I'm sure both of us will be strong tomorrow."
Mercedes and Renault emphasised their competitiveness by completing the top-ten and both will look to score heavily tomorrow.
Scotland's Paul di Resta and fellow rookie Pastor Maldonado both narrowly missed out on making Q3 and will start an impressive 11th and 12th after out-qualifying their more illustrious team-mates.
"If I had taken an extra set of tyres, I might have been able to beat (Renault's) Nick Heidfeld, even though there wasn't a lot left out there," said di Resta.
"But it's probably better to be starting on the clean side of the grid with an extra set of tyres for the race.
"Since we started at the weekend, the car's been working well. The track is all about commitment. It seemed to appeal to me quickly and it's looking quite promising for the race," he said.
At the back of the grid it was a bad day for under pressure Toro Rosso driver Jaime Alguersuari.
The Spaniard who's place with the team has been the source of increased speculation failed to get out of Q1 and will line up 18th.
Hispania, with some major upgrades, won the back-of-the-grid battle with Virgin, with Vitantonio Liuzzi taking 21st place ahead of Virgin's Timo Glock.
The German's team-mate Jerome D'Ambrosio failed to set a time within 107% of the fastest time in the first session and did not qualify for the race.
He will only be allowed to race if the stewards grant him an exemption.

In lingo of numbers, Los Angeles Schools breed up the 2nd biggest unrestricted school territory in the administrative district. Only New York City Schools top them. The issues of running any municipality set of laws are complex, but in monolithic districts the book of numbers form hard work even much strenuous.
Los Angeles Schools Struggle near Graduation Rates
Simply effort students to postgraduate is a rebel for the Los Angeles Schools. A 2006 USA Today scrutiny reported that Los Angeles Schools were among various largish urban districts beside smaller number than 50% of its students gradating from high-ranking conservatory on instance. That gossip put the numeral of old pupils in Los Angeles Schools at 44.2%. This is asymptomatic lower than the California motherland mop up charge per unit of 71%.Post ads:

Another tale released from Princeton University in 2005 calculable the lost yield of these dropouts at over and done with $36 a billion. These numbers are not unexpected to educators in the Los Angeles Schools. Numerous studies all over the time of life have unchangeable what Los Angeles Schools teachers know. High School drop-outs are far more predictable to change state young parents, be responsible for crimes, and use governing body funded general and medical work. Graduates have high incomes, bring to the fore better-educated children, and education other public benefits.
Los Angeles Schools Receive Funds
As the outcome of a 2005 proceedings filed by State Schools Chief Jack O'Connell and the California Teachers Association, more than a few of the worst rated Los Angeles Schools were awarded other endowment in May of 2007. The legal proceeding was filed in 2006 resistant California Governor Schwarzenegger and the California Department of Finance. It alleged that they had spoilt to appropriately money Proposition 98 during the 2004 to 2006 conservatory geezerhood.Post ads:

O'Connell is mistreatment the lawsuit's awards to furnish $2.7 cardinal to several of California and Los Angeles Schools' matchless hazard schools.

The assets will bring fixed Los Angeles Schools near superfluous per enrollee pecuniary resource of $500 for k-3rd grade, $900 for 4th finished 8th, and $1,000 for 9th done 12th . Los Angeles Schools intend to use the wealth for hiring much teachers, addressing lecture largeness concerns, paid development, and hiring in-school counselors.
Los Angeles Schools are in inevitability in abundant areas. The national triumph gap is considerable here because of a biggest population of English Language Learners, and a low socio-economic population. One attentiveness of the Princeton analysis mentioned preceding is that it pointed out very big discrepancies in closing rates linking white and non-white students. African-American students and Hispanic students have the last completion rates; and Los Angeles Schools are largely ready-made up of these scholar minorities. Over 100 Los Angeles Schools will acquire the further finances finished the adjacent vii eld.

- Create a list of professionals who are available for hire to remove malware if extra help is needed.
- Check for new files that don't belong when running the Core Files Check to remove files that have been added to the wp-includes or wp-admin.
- It may also be handy to create a non-WordPress-wrapper for people with infections on a non-WordPress site or for when your WordPress admin is not working.
- There are always new Potential Threats I need to investigate further and write definitions for their removal as a Known Threat or add them to the whitelist as a Non-Threat.
I will update this list when I hear your thoughts and suggestions too. Here are a few things I have done recently:
- Add a Core Files Check to scan for any changes to WordPress files and restore them if any are found.
- Add the ability to change the admin username if the current username is "admin".
- Move the quarantine files into the database and deleted the old directory in uploads.
Aloha and Mahalo,
I was asleep at the wheel - too busy building WordPress sites for others and failed to pay attention to my own.
Yesterday I had reason to login and was whacked with the big red Google Malware screen - scared the hell out of me!
Got busy checking out the options for tracking down and killing the nasty stuff and after trying a few I found your plugin Eli - AMAZING JOB!
Other plugins tell you there's a problem but don't make it easy to know where to look - your program pointed me to every single problem and then took care of it all for me.
I now have a clean (and updated) site again thanks to you Eli - please accept my small donation along with my sincere gratitude for all your hard work!
Mike Hancock :)

A lot of people have been asking me about this one. My fellowship is 1-2 years. It's renewable after the first year and it comes from the South African government through the National Research Foundation administered by the
I've applied to be an astronaut. You know this and I've written about this extensively in late 2007. It's a year long process, so even if I got in on my first time (very rare) I wouldn't be accepted until May 2009 or so. The deadline for application for this round (every 2 years) is June (or so) 2008. So it's next month I believe. I finished my app around when they put it online back in October.
There was a job at MD Anderson Cancer Hospital for which they sought a mechanical engineer to help with cancer research in
So it looked as if I would stay for another year for sure (assuming ZA still wants to renew) but then I was offered an interview for a professorship at a university called RIT.
Specifically it's in the department called NTID—National Technical Institute for the Deaf.
http://www.ntid.rit.edu/ If it doesn't work, switch the ntid and the rit.
They want to hire me to be an assistant professor (support/instructional staff). I would be a tutor for deaf students in the normal 4-year science and technology majors within RIT, and I would teach courses in the 2-year associates program for deaf students in the NTID department. I would probably advise students who are transitioning from the 2-year NTID-RIT program into the 4-year RIT program for a bachelors degree. We had a 3 hour video conference interview (They didn't want to fly me to NY). It went well except my presentation which was within the area that they wanted but too high a level. The first questioned asked after my 20 minute teaching lesson was what level was the presentation? I immediately said "4th year students" (which is true I do have a 4th year [honors] student in the course (I just used slides from a lecture for a course because I was short on time)). Anyway, it went well even with that. They could possibly offer it to me in which case I would have to learn sign language and be fluent by year 2 at which point the tenure clock would start. The nice thing about RIT is that it's actually a teaching college so tenure is not so heavily weighted on research. But they do have a new president who is trying to push research. I asked about what would happen if I got these research grants (mentioned earlier): would I be able to carry them to RIT and work on them or would I have to give them up if I got the job. They said that the new president would love for faculty to do more research and I could most definitely use them. But when they gave me the percentage of time allotted for it, it was small, maybe about 10 percent of my time. So that would be about 4 hours per week. So I would have to think about that. If I got the HIV grant I would definitely have to consider that because I want to go somewhere where I could work on it. But it's a wonderful opportunity to work with deaf students, learn a new language, and become a prof doing a bit of research. So we'll see.

Kenley Common
March, April and May are when the grassland flowering reaches its peak. Expect to find on the chalk such flowers as rough hawkbit, greater knapweed, wild carrot, small scabious, and hawkweed oxtongue. Also found is the oxeye daisy, bush vetch, yellow rattle and even the bushier greater yellow rattle, rare in Britain but common in various Kenley locations. In some years orchids are abundant; these include the common spotted, pyramidal and bee orchids.
The abundant flowers attract many bees and butterflies, including the striking marble white. Among the many birds, a few skylarks are once again found although only on the airfield at present. Yellowhammers continue to thrive, but the cuckoo has not been heard for a long time. Deer are often seen on the margins of the ancient woodland, and look out for the rare breed sheep and cattle grazing. Keep clear of the electric fences and ensure that all gates are closed behind you.
Foxley Wood
In Foxley Wood, rhododendron flowers May to June. You will find a large swathe of these shrubs along the path from Woodland Way leading to the old gravel pit site. Rhododendron is non-native to this country. It was brought over some 200 years ago from Asia and was probably planted in Foxley Wood by Edmund Byron, lord of the manor of Coulsdon which stretched over as far as Riddlesdown in the 1800's. Unfortunately the bush does not support insect life and the ground under it is sterile. It needs very aggressive management to stop it spreading.
Sanicle grows along the lower edge of the glade and flowers May to July. It is thought that the name sanicle is a contraction of St Nicholas and another is a derivation of the Latin saunus, meaninghealthy. Whatever, it was used in early times for its supposed healing powers and Culpeper recommended it for curing ulcers and tumours, amongst other ailments.
Primroses are now very scarce in Foxley Wood but you may see the last of them on the path between posts #3 and # 4. However there are many in Dollypers Hill where you can still see a few cowslips.
Herb-robert grows in a large clump by the path at the south-west corner of the glade. The little pink flower can be seen during the summer months until November; "robert" is said to be a corruption of the Latin wordruber, meaning red, a reference to the leaves that turn red in the autumn. The leaves were used in medieval times to staunch the flow of blood.
Dogs mercury grows in very large patches along the lower path. Its presence is said to indicate ancient woodland. It is unusual in that the plant is either male or female and their proximity to each other helps pollination. It has a light fetid smell and, unfortunately, is very poisonous.
Foxley Wood Website
Dollypers Hill
In April and May you will find violets and garlic mustard but in June you are likely to find the common spotted orchid, pyramidal and twayblade. There are also many other plants to see within the various woodlands and the many small clearings that exist. As a point of interest, garlic mustard is also known as jack- by-the-hedge, sauce-alone and even donkey's foot. It is the food plant of the orange tip butterfly often seen in Spring. Other butterflies to look out for are the common blue, brimstone and skippers. More information www.surreywildlifetrust.org
Riddlesdown Common
On the other side of the valley from Kenley, much of Riddlesdown's 104 acres is a Site Of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to it comprising the 'largest single expanse of long-established calcareous scrub in Greater London and also for its herb-rich grassland'. An earthworks, old trackways and the course of a Roman road, are some of the remnants of thousands of years of human activity on this site. Lime was extracted from Riddlesdown Quarry (formerly Rose and Crown Pit) which has left the exposed 'white cliff' alongside the A22.
Escorted walks
Periodically, there are escorted walks through all of these locations. You will need suitable clothing and dogs are welcome provided they are under control. For more details, visit www.cityoflondon.gov.uk for walks over Kenley Common & www.friendsoffoxley.co.uk for walks and a more detailed description of Foxley Wood. You could also ring Freda on 020 8668 2008. For walks through Dollypers Hill you will need to contact the Surrey Wildlife Trust.

Good article, Donald.
The misuse of data is of course endemic. It is most obvious in politics, advertising and the Daily Mail, but more worryingly pervades pharmaceutical and food research - ref Ben Goldacre's excellent books.
I would also recommend "Fooled by Randomness" by Naseem Taleb of Black Swan fame.
Even e-learning is not immune, as anyone who has perused a recent flotation document will attest.

That last sentence says it all.

A small addition to your examples is the typical geographic image used to represent demographic information.
Compare these two depictions of the electoral vote in the 2012 U.S. presidential election.

Perfect timing Don. I am writing an online PGCE and keen to blast some myths about EBT/Big data. I am very sad about the Ken graph though - I thought he was a good egg. Thanks for the content!

Inside Track v25n2

the wimax vision and new world order dept.: according to the research firm in-stat, the future of wimax still appears to be murky, with various possible scenarios for universal wireless access unfolding. these include the false promises of 3g and then 4g cellular technologies, wi-fi mesh technologies, and perhaps as yet unknown new ideas making inroads. the longer it takes for wimax to appear, the sketchier its future is, say the researchers.
intel seems to be the biggest booster of wimax, hoping to cash in on a chip business that in-stat says will be worth $450 to $950 million by 2009. apparently, the company hopes to work (largely behind the scenes) with sprint nextel to utilize its network of licensed spectrum for the purposes of piggybacking wimax services and crisscrossing the country with coverage.
in business parlance, this might be called the "end-around play" that could create the biggest single internet connectivity company in the business. and it would be universal, meaning that you could be driving around in your car or floating around with a laptop and be connected anywhere you went. sign me up.
as cool as this sounds, it is unfortunately too idealistic a scenario to actually happen. you can be certain that this connectivity will not be cheap if the mobile-phone companies have any say whatsoever. they have never come close to offering a reasonably priced wireless internet connection scheme. sprint once did have a fixed wireless line-of-sight lash-up called sprint broadband connect that was even going to offer voip phone service. it was abandoned after a few tests, and the paying users were grandfathered off the system through attrition. the company was supposed to replace it with a non-line-of-sight technology that never materialized. sprint now offers vanilla dsl, just like everyone else in the phone business.
i'm guessing that the non-line-of-sight technologies that sprint promised a couple of years ago were sidetracked by intel and its wimax promises. so for now we have nothing. meanwhile, the abandoned sprint broadband connect actually did work.
ideally, sprint nextel would roll out a nationwide wimax net with voip-capable handsets and change the way mobile phones work. the entire country would be one giant wireless internet grid for voice and data. it would be a connectivity utopia, although i'm told the connection speed would probably hover around 2 mbps, which is slow by today's international standards. still, it would be better than what we have insofar as universal connectivity is concerned. but does anyone think that sbc/at&t, verizon, comcast, and even qualcomm are going to allow this to happen?continue reading...
