Life is too short not to celebrate the death of an evil murdering bastard like Osama bin Laden.
Hat tip to Kyle Lovett at The Reformed Buddhist for the graphic below.
Don't complicate the simple.
He's dead.
That's a good thing.

Thank you for this bit of clarity, Apuleius.
While I can appreciate the good intentions of those who would rather contemplate peace and mercy and reminding folks that a human being was killed, I can't help but find myself unable to share in such high-minded gentleness.
Also, that bit about "Abbottabad" was hilarious. As the boyfriend of a New Yorker, who travels to New York City every other weekend, I found that especially funny. "Abaddabad" indeed.
Abaddabing, Abaddaboom.

Artist Resume
Jack has been taking pictures most of his life; his first camera, given to him by his mother when he was three, was a beat up Brownie 620! He now uses digital as well as large format film to record his images.
With a degree in English from the University of Southern California, Jack went on to graduate studies at the University of Minnesota in Literature and Photojournalism. He became an artist in residence in the Minneapolis Public Schools in the 1970's, teaching photography and video production, and he directed a program to integrate the arts with the general curriculum.
Jack's interest in Western landscape photography came about as a result of travels through the West and Southwest in 1984. Moving to Santa Fe in 2003 has provided him greater opportunity to explore the magnificent landscapes of the four corners states.
Jack's photography is in numerous private collections, and has shown in galleries in Minneapolis and Santa Fe. His work has appeared in publications such as Baron Wolman's Visions of Santa Fe and New Mexico Magazine. His image of Black Mesa won Best of Show in the 2012 Santa Fe Arts Commission Common Ground exhibit.

St. James's Market development to create 45,000sq.ft of restaurant, retail and leisure space
The lead scheme, known as St. James's Market, will be a commercial redevelopment of two blocks and will also create 200,000 sq ft of office accommodation.
St James's Market, designed by Make Architects, will see the redevelopment of 14-20 Regent Street and 52-56 Haymarket. The Haymarket block would be replaced, while the Regent Street block would be redeveloped.
Dining destination
Alastair Smart, head of development at The Crown Estate, said the development would enhance the area's already strong reputation as a dining destination.
"The regeneration of St. James's Market is an opportunity to revive a neglected location at the heart of London, bringing it back into line with historic St James's for the benefit of 21st century businesses, local residents and visitors alike," he said.
"Our long term vision for the area will protect St. James's distinct niche in the West End office market, enhance its position as a stimulating and eclectic shopping and dining destination, create new homes, improve the public realm and above all, protect St. James's celebrated heritage," Smart added.
St. James's
The plans are, Crown Estate said, designed to bring bring the area back in line with the quality of the historic St. James's part of the city with world-class architecture, preserved facades and a public area improvement.
The scheme takes its name from the now lost area of St. James's Market, which between the 17th and 19th centuries offered a market, shops and entertainment. The area was lost when John Nash redeveloped Regent Street.
As well as the office and restaurant and leisure space, there will be a 24,000sq.ft public area and a 10,000sq.ft pedestrian square with public art.
The proposals also include two associated development schemes to build new homes and are the next stage of The Crown Estate's £500m investment programme for St. James's. The Crown Estate currently owns a property portfolio comprising nearly 50 per cent of the buildings in the area and its investment programme is guided by The St. James's Strategies, launched in 2011.
The Crown Estate will consult the local community on the proposals ahead of submitting a formal planning application to Westminster City Council this summer.

As the title suggests, I went to the midnight premiere of Catching Fire a few weeks ago! (Not quite as exciting, because apparently there were also 8, 9, 10, and 11 o'clock showings as well.)
But with a midnight premiere on my 20 before 20, I knew we had to see it at 12!
Aside from having to study for a biology exam after the show (my first #allnighter of college! Made an A, too!), I absolutely LOVED Catching Fire! Maybe even more than I liked The Hunger Games. I was so glad the cinematography wasn't so shaky this time, because I got a little motion sick watching the first one. This sequel was a little more emotional than I remember the book being, too. I caught myself tearing up a few times.
Bottom line: I 100% recommend seeing this movie!!! (I also highly recommend reading the books!)
I love book-turned-movies, and sometimes pick which book I'm going to read next based on which movies are being made at the time.
What about y'all? Read any good books or seen some great movies lately?

Oaty Tomatoes (Answer to Guessing Game)
Well, most of you got the coriander right – that was obvious. But only Asha got the oatmeal right. For the rest of the ingredients, see the recipe below! I don't understand why clicking on the pic didn't result in anything – did you have that problem too?
It's been a hectic few days since my last recipe post, what with work and folks at home and then work again. I almost didn't miss blogging, and that's saying a lot considering my involvement with it qualifies as obsession, but am glad to say it has been crying out loud and clear for my attention the last few days. I wanted to participate in a few events but because of the busy-ness, I didn't give them much thought, other than to buy a couple of packets of small tomatoes (grape or cherry tomatoes, I suppose) and wonder what on earth I would do with them. I'm like that – buy everything exotic on the face of the earth, keep it for weeks (if it's perishable) or months and years (if not so perishable) and wonder how the hell I'm going to use it/get rid of it without feeling the pinch until it finally rots/irritates me so much I whisk them off the shelf and into the dustbin.
I'm trying to get rid of this habit – the self-control it involves demands inculcating in oneself an attitude of resignation, self-consolation and even a measure of cynicism – "How different can it be? A tomato is a tomato big or small, grape, cherry or plum!" Well, I'm glad to say it didn't work this time – for one, I didn't have much time to debate all these issues as my family, which had sent me to the grocer's for a quick errand, was waiting impatiently in the car outside, and the challenge was too pretty to pass up - I can only hope the pictures do them justice. I'm also proud to say these tomatoes didn't join the legions of exotic veggies and other foodstuffs that died in my fridge or pantry over the years!
I love salads, but can't get the dressing right, and these tomatoes were too novel for me to waste in soups, daals and raitas. They didn't taste extraordinarily sour or sweet, either, just plain fleshy! Leafing through my many cookbooks made me adapt a recipe from a Reader's Digest cookbook which I shall call Oaty Tomatoes. Here's what you need:
Baby tomatoes – 300 gm
Oats – 125 gm
Onion – 1 medium, minced
Coriander leaves, chopped – 2 tbsp
Butter – 1-2 tbsp
Salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 200 C. Halve tomatoes, place them cut side up in a baking dish. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat butter and fry onion on low heat till soft and browning – that should take 15-20 minutes. Stir frequently. Now put in the oats, some salt and pepper and toast the mixture till crisp. Make sure you toast the oats really well, otherwise they tend to taste floury.
Top the tomatoes with this mixture once they come out of the oven. Garnish with coriander leaves all over!
This is my entry for Kalyn's Weekend Herb Blogging being hosted by Scott of Real Epicurean.

Oaty tomatoes...That's an interesting name..Looks perfect.I just brought a box cherry tomatoes and was searching for a perfect recipe.I can relate to "died in my fridge"..always happens to me..especially poor french beans..:))ReplyDelete
- Anonymous1/21/2007 5:16 AM
That's a refreshingly new dish !!! How the hell did you think it up ? Now I know what you do when you don't blog :)ReplyDelete
I have a similar trait of buying rare veggies (rare for me ) which often die a sad death in my refrigerator, even now I have "Endives" lying there.
But cherry/grape tomatoes are so cute that it's difficult seeing them and not picking them up. I even grew them last year, they grow easily and in plenty.
Swapna, thank you. I couldn't get a good pic of the final product, which made the guessing game possible - ha ha!ReplyDelete
Yes, Asha, blasphemy but true, my parents were here and we were all going out everyday.
Maheswari, I wondered if I shd make them oaty or oatsy but went with oaty.
Sandeepa, I didn't think it up - I just adapted it from a book. The only thing I thought up was that custard in the archives with saffron and pepper!
So family in town, good for you, Sra.ReplyDelete
I find these tomatoes in the rythu bazaar quite often. Usually I pick up the bangalore tomatoes (I hope you know what I'm talking about).
Healthy recipe there!
WAH!!!! I couldnt have guessed that in my dreams!!!! Thats an unusual combo Sra!!!!!ReplyDelete
This is a really original combination, Sra! I'd never have thought to try this one out, but it sounds delicious.ReplyDelete
Hi Sailu, yes, of course I know the Bangalore tomatoes, but I use the native (desavali) ones whenever I can find them - they cook so easily and are very flavourful.ReplyDelete
Neither could I, Coffee, if I hadn't made it! :)
By the way, did you notice - I've updated my meme and taken a guess at your looks!
Scott, the recipe in the cookbook was called Tomato Skirlies, I think. That had four big tomatoes with oats and parsley piled on top but I smothered mine!
- Anonymous1/22/2007 5:38 AM
interesting that u baked the oats instead of cooking them..almost like a granola. thanks for rescuing the tomatoes from the frigid death.:)ReplyDelete
- Anonymous1/23/2007 3:40 AM
Hi Sra - I am just like that with exotic foods. I threw out half a fresh coconut after printing many a recipe for coconut barfi.ReplyDelete
The problem is that it needs planning and I am terrible with that...
Very interesting combination. Wish I could have a taste of it.ReplyDelete
nice dish to participate eith WHB.
So your guessing game turn to be a very delicious entry now :D.
nice combination , i really liked ait an healthy too . will give it a try and let you know.
keep posting . I love to read your posts :)

really nice recipe and simple yet healthy salad.I never tried such sallads. For me salads means always ready and easy one which are mixed togeather and soreted with some salt an pepper.But this is some thing special.Thank you for sharingReplyDelete
Mallika, so am I, I don't plan, just cook whatever I feel like and I mayn't feel like it at meal times, either!ReplyDelete
Kalyn, come over!
Pooja, thank you so much!
Meena, it's interesting that you thought of this as salad. I now realise it is, because when you serve it, the oats get mixed up with the tomatoes and don't remain as the topping because there's no binder. Thanks
What an interesting recipe! It looks very healthy and tasty too.ReplyDelete
I'm the same with leaving things to die in the fridge. If it looks exciting I'll buy it and then forget about it. There's a butternut squash thats been sitting in my cupboard for well over a month.... good thing that those squashes are indestructible!
Ros, thanks for stopping byReplyDelete

How a Diabetic Can Handle Blood Sugar Levels and Lower Blood Sugar Naturally
Growing muscle tissue can also aid an individual affected by diabetes to lower blood sugars naturally because 1 lb of muscle burns 3-4 times the number of calories (at-rest) when compared to a pound of fat does. Burning more calories may make it possible for your system to involve less insulin, and may also increase insulin sensitivity.
The numbers that decide in case you are a pre-diabetic will range between 100-125 mg/dL. This test will be fond of you within a fasting period also it steps your fasting glucose selection. If your fasting sugar levels are above 125 you're considered diabetic. The glucose tolerance test is measuring the climb in your blood glucose levels after you take glucose. During this test if your blood sugar levels climb to the 140-199 array you are deemed a pre-diabetic so that as you imagine it anything above 199 is diabetes.
Gumar organic tincture is exclusive because it basically helps stop both the style of sugar and its own intake in the torso.
It's been obtaining more awareness, lately, due to the power to minimize and control blood sugar levels in diabetics. Because it may lessen blood sugar levels, it can be a good fat management tool also.
The medical group practices typical medical procedures and pharmaceutical solutions, including insulin to deal with diabetes while in the Usa today. But there is a growing action, as this disease becomes much more personal to all of US, that's taking another examine probable organic solutions that will help us control, stop and perhaps reverse the ravaging affects of diabetes.
We have included a few basic things about how to lower blood sugar fast , and they are important to consider in your research. But is that all there is? Not by a long shot – you really can expand your knowledge greatly, and we can help you. We believe you will find them to be very helpful in a lot of ways. Do consider the time and make the effort to discover the big picture of this. So we will provide you with a few more important ideas to think about.
When the diet and exercise aren't working effectively, another worry may be the numerous kinds of medication which might be fashionable. Correct medicine with prescription as decided by your doctor helps to stimulate insulin release in the pancreas. There is another kind of medication to make the human body less resilient to insulin. The intake of glucose is controlled and you are permitted to lower sugar levels as your system requirements.
You basically possess the power to reverse or make worse your diabetes by the meals you put into your body. You've to learn which ingredients to avoid and have the will-power to do so. For those who have diabetes, this implies your sugar metabolism is all screwed-up. You need to begin consuming the foods that will recover your body and make your tissues more reactive to insulin and you have to understand what those ingredients are.
You have to consume meals that obviously lower blood sugar. This doesn't mean your diet has to boring or boring. Really the contrary, my selection has gotten a great deal more delightful and nutritious since I have was diagnosed with diabetes and made a decision to reverse it by eating the best points.
With my doctors still talking about introducing extra diabetes drugs to lower my blood sugar, I determined to significantly change my diet, make particular lifestyle changes, and try and defeat my diabetes the natural way.
I told my physicians what I desired todo and that I found one doctor who was ready to work with me, although possibly he looked a tad cynical. I assured him I used to be quite severe and hard headed enough to make it work. He chuckled at that and explained, "we'll see." Most modern doctors are experienced to consider medicines first and organic approaches a significantly distant minute if at all.
Diabetes is actually a chronic infection that is tag by way of a large sugar level of the blood. From these levels, there's always something you are able to do to break the string or combat any of the condition.
That is by reducing the level of you blood sugar. Now, HOWTO lower blood sugar about the body? Listed below are simple tips on issues you are able to do. Ideally, just as with so many other areas regarding avoid gestational diabetes , you will need to pay more consideration to some things than others.
But that can vary slightly, and it really just will depend on how you want to use the information. Of course there is quite a lot more to be learned. The balance of this read holds much more that will help your specific situation.
Some of these suggestions really are critical to your understanding, and there is even more going further than what is about to be covered.
I'm sure you are completely informed that recently identified type II diabetics is on the rise in America. Contemplating our western lifestyle this shouldn't be to a lot of a distress. There are mindful measures we can take to enable us stay away from this infection. By seeing our diet, reading labels, using good notes, locating good supplements and beginning a easy exercise schedule we are able to stabilize our blood sugar levels.
Kind I diabetics should also undertake these steps to aid them perhaps lean the quantity of insulin they have to get. Implement these strategies and much more than your diabetes is going to be pleased.
Overweight situation is the cause of lots of health issues. One of the frequent health issues due to obesity is body's insulin resistance. It is a physiological condition where insulin turns out to become less effective in lowering the blood sugar. Eventually, this condition may go-to the problem called pre-diabetes so when not appropriately treated may turn into diabetes.

After spotting this book on one of my favourite blogs, absolutelybeautifulthings, I was determined to hunt it down. In all honesty, I was curious to know what the book was actually about. Turns out it was written back in 1940 and it's zebra print cover is popping up in photo shoots everywhere. I Married Adventure looks to be the new Cabinet of Natural Curiosities.

When Sophia and Olivia were younger, they would play with wands made from wool felt, ribbons, and bamboo sticks. This summer, we are doing a farmers/craft market each week and I thought it would be good to make some wands for other children who might enjoy creative, imaginative play.
I've made two wands so far - both using a plant-dyed pale yellow wool felt.
On both sides, I hand-embroidered little stars that are embellished with clear beads.
In addition to play, wands are becoming increasingly popular for use in weddings by flower girls or bridesmaids as an alternative to a basket or floral bouquet. The colors of the felt, hand-embroidered stars, beads, and ribbons all could be adapted to the colors of the wedding.
The wands are stuffed with wool from sheep that were raised on our organic farm.
The five-pointed star is about 5 1/4 inches wide and 1 1/2 inches thick (13 cm wide x 3.5 cm thick). The dowel is approximately 10 1/2 inches (26.5 cm) in length (with 1 1/2 inches or 3.5 cm within the star for stability).
Both the ribbons and dowel are hot-glued onto the wool stuffing so they will not slip out with gentle use.
There is one wand remaining in my Etsy shop. I plan to make more during the upcoming weeks in different colors of wool felt, cotton embroidery floss, and ribbons.
At some point, I'll put two wands in Sophia and Olivia's memory boxes. These are boxes that they are keeping that include handmade items that they will receive and take with them when they have homes and families of their own.
Perhaps some day their children will play with the wands that I created. Until then...I am happy to create these handmade items for them to enjoy both now and in the future.

The Devil of Kreuzberg
Writer: Pippo Schund
Producers: Alexander Bakshaev, Mathis Vogel
Cast: Ross Indecency, Sandra Bourdonnec, Tomas Veit
Country: Germany
Year of release: 2015
Reviewed from: online screener
Website: www.facebook.com/devilofkreuzberg
The Devil of Kreuzberg is what we used to call – and I guess still do – Eurosleaze. It's very sleazy, and very European. It channels the spirits of Jean Rollin (whom I once had the pleasure of interviewing on stage) and Jesus Franco (who I never met). Scenes filmed guerrilla-style on the streets of Hamburg among lapdancing clubs, sex shops and gay porn cinemas almost look like they have been edited from something shot in the 1970s. These things, these places, they don't still exist, do they?
Apparently they do.
Although it starts off rather confusingly, introducing us to several different characters, only some of whom will become relevant, after a bit this sub-feature length film settles down to a relatively straightforward plot.
The finer details of the plot are more obtuse, but enjoyably so rather than frustratingly so. There's a paucity of dialogue as Bakshaev tells us the story through actions and looks as much as spoken words (which are mostly German, occasionally English or French; subtitles are good and clear). Halfway through, Kurt and Jakob get up and dance to some 1980s-style synth-pop. It's not just an interlude: it tells us about these characters, their attitudes and their relationship. The soundtrack mixes these sub-Kraftwerk keyboard noodlings with freeform jazz and spoken word samples. Like the film as a whole, it's arty and artistic without being artsy or arse.
It takes a while to get used to the somewhat mannered acting but part of that is just the studied pretension of some of the characters. Veit is particularly good as hit-man Kurt, never betraying a hint of emotion through his face or voice yet still letting us see inside the character.
The IMDB reckons this runs 65 minutes. The online screener I was sent ran 42 and, while it didn't have any opening titles, I doubt if they were 23 minutes long. Whether this would be better, less good or just different at that longer running time I couldn't say. I certainly wouldn't want to watch it for two hours, but it could probably work at just over an hour.
Russia-born Alexander Bakshaev has for several years now been an associate of Jason Impey, on both sides of the camera. He was in Jason's feature Tortured and a number of shorts which have been subsequently combined into lash-up features. Impey starred as 'obsessed film-maker' George Eastman (hoho!) in Bakshaev's 2008 sub-feature The Trip and was also in his 2009 short Bittersweet.
The Devil of Kreuzberg was mostly shot in Berlin (Hamburg sex shops notwithstanding) over 16 days for about 3,000 euros. Thomas Lee Rutter (director of Full Moon Massacre, Mr Blades etc, who receives a 'thank you' in the credits) gave the film a CD-R release in October 2015, including a Making Of and Bakshaev's 2012 short Zartlichkeit.
Gritty, grimy, provocative and thought-provoking, The Devil of Kreuzberg is a toe dipped into the seedy underbelly of a world you wouldn't want to visit except through a screen. In that sense, it's pure, classic Eurosleaze. Bravo!

Just a quick blog about my "Ginormous Mutant Ninja Bunny". If you'd like to see the "making of" please click on the link below and enjoy. He was a bit of a challenge - pushing the materials to their limits, but I am super happy with the resulting insanely neon pink rabbit who is also incredibly structurally sound. More pics to come but this one is of him before he set off to the Royal Easter Show.

Would you like to collect data quick and efficiently? Would you like to have a sample that generalizes beyond western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic participants? While you acknowledge social media as a powerful means to distribute your studies, you feel that there must be a "better way"? Then this practical introduction to crowdsourcing is exactly what you need. I will show you how to use Crowdflower, a crowdsourcing platform to attract participants from all over the world to take part in your experiments. However, before we get too excited, let's quickly go through the relevant terminology.
What is Crowdsourcing?
The term "crowdsourcing" is a composite of the words "crowd" and "outsourcing", first mentioned in a WIRED article in 2006 (Jeff Howe, 2006). The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it as
"The practice of obtaining needed services, ideas, or content by soliciting contributions from a large group of people and especially from the online community rather than from traditional employees or suppliers."
Following the definition, we already engage in crowdsourcing when posting experiments on social media platforms, but this approach has several major drawbacks:
- limited and biased pool of participants
- it can take some time to reach the targeted sample size
- repeated subjects, multiple submits
- no incentive structure
- no pre-screening
- no longitudinal studies possible
- excessively annoying
The problems listed above already hint at their solution: a platform or service that allows researchers to specify what needs to be specified (i.e. participation criteria) and which provides the necessary infrastructure to reward participants. The first platform which did exactly this was Amazon Mechanical Turk. It was created in 2005 and sparked the interest of researchers around 2010. To give a good overview of its mechanic and purpose, let me extensively quote Paolacci, Chandler, and Ipeirotis (2010). They have put it splendidly:
"Mechanical Turk is a crowdsourcing web service that coordinates the supply and the demand of tasks that require human intelligence to complete. Mechanical Turk is named after an 18th century chess playing "automaton" that was in fact operated by a concealed person. It is an online labor market where employees (called workers) are recruited by employers (called requesters) for the execution of tasks (called HITs, acronym for Human Intelligence Tasks) in exchange for a wage (called a reward). Both workers and requesters are anonymous although responses by a unique worker can be linked through an ID provided by Amazon. Requesters post HITs that are visible only to workers who meet predefined criteria (e.g., country of residence or accuracy in previously completed tasks). When workers access the website, they find a list of tasks sortable according to various criteria, including size of the reward and maximum time allotted for the completion. Workers can read brief descriptions and see previews of the tasks before accepting to work on them."
– Paolacci et al.(2010, pp. 411–412)
Unfortunately for us, Amazon MTurk is only available to American citizens. However, there exists another platform called Crowdflower, which basically provides the same service[1], while also allowing requests from outside the US.
Let's do it!
Note on financials
Since you have to pay the workers to participate in the experiment, you need to add funds to your account (credit card only). Making matters worse, Crowdflower requires you to add at least 10$ to your account. If you don't want to do this, you can still follow the steps below, except for actually posting the experiment. Once you have a real research question and the funds available, you can always revisit this tutorial at a later point in time.
The experiment
Our goal in this tutorial will be to replicate a classic finding in psychology, the conjunction fallacy (Tversky & Kahneman, 1983). Although Crowdflower provides us with a lot of templates for our jobs, we will create an external questionnaire and link to it. This method provides the most flexibility, since you are basically free to choose whatever tool you want to build your experiment with(e.g. LimeSurvey, Qualtrics, or programmed interactive experiments). How do we know that a participant has completed the task? You must add a completion code to the end of the experiment which then can be copy and pasted into Crowdflower – but more on that later. Before we proceed, look at the problem I crowdsource yourself and be sure you know the right answer.
Connecting Crowdflower with the experiment
After creating your experiment, visit Crowdflower and create a new "requesters" account. The free trial ends when you have used 5000 data records. One data record equals one experiment. After that, go to your account page and add some funds (10$ at least). Now we need to create a "Job" which will be our experiment. Click on "Create Job". You can browse all templates that Crowdflower provides. However, to be flexible, we will "Start from Scratch" with a "Survey Job". We will have to provide a title, instructions and a question. Since the Graphical User Interface is limited, click on the button "Switch to CLM-Editor" to use a text based interface[2]. Fill in the title and the instructions. Don't forget to insert a Hyperlink to your external questionnaire! In the CML section, we need to add the code validation question:
<cml:text label="Text" data-validates-regex="^7E93$" validates="required regex"/>
For clarification, see the image below. (click to enlarge)
Of course, if you have used a different code in your questionnaire, you need to change the line accordingly. As you might have noticed, you can see all the steps you need to take before you can post the task on the left panel. Under "Preview" you can test if the code validation works. This is a crucial step, since we want our participants to be compensated for the trouble they go through!
We finished designing our job. Now we have to "manage quality". Under "Contributors" on the panel you can pre-screen participants. For example, you can filter participants based on the country they live in, which is especially interesting for cross-country studies. Additionally, if your test material is in a language other than English, you can restrict your sample to participants who live in the specific countries. Since most research is done using Amazon MTurk, which is exclusively American, you might want to target only the USA so as to increase comparability of data.
Workers can be ranked according to their accuracy, i.e. how often they finish a job they have started. It is suggested to only target workers with the highest accuracy (Performance Level 3). In the "Behavior Setting", set the maximal judgments per contributor to 1 in order to avoid multiple submissions. Under "Job settings" on the left side, you can set the payment under "Tasks" and the number of participants under "Judgments". As you might have noticed, there are many more advanced settings. However, these are not important with respect to our experiment.
85% of 142 undergraduates gave the wrong answer to the Linda-problem in the Transparent Test, i.e. when only two options are available (Tversky & Kahneman, 1983). Let's see how our crowdsourcing population does! I have set the number of participants to 30 and the payment to 0.10\$. In choosing the payment, I try to be as ethical as my wallet permits me to be, striving for an hourly wage of at least 6\$, depending on the task. While the average pay is about 2.30\$, 6\$ is still quite low. The ethics of crowdsourcing is an important topic, and the reader is referred to Fort, Adda, and Cohen (2011) and Williamson (2014) for more information. Let's launch now!
Alas! 9 minutes and 40 seconds later we have our data. Only 5 people gave the right answer, which means that about 83% were subject to the conjunction fallacy[3].
Isn't this too good to be true?
It is exciting, that's what it is. Importantly, you can use it in your own studies without worrying too much about using methods outside of mainstream research. It is more or less becoming the standard in social psychology (if the experiment is not too involved, of course). More domains of psychology are going down this road as well. In fact, a recent study replicated classic experiments in cognitive psychology (Crump, McDonnell, & Gureckis, 2013). This is important because these experiments demand millisecond timing, high precision and environmental control.
In software engineering there is this law – Atwood's Law – which states that any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript. Let a new law be heard! Any experiment that can be conducted on MTurk (or a similar platform), will also be conducted on MTurk (or a similar platform). Why? Because, similarly as the Web as a platform is superior to the Desktop for a large area of applications, MTurk is superior to the lab for a large set of experimental paradigms.
What about Donders?
We have seen that simple questionnaire studies are easy to implement and crowdsource. What about reaction time critical experiments? Do they work online?
Yes – with some precautionary additions. Among others, the most extensive study showing this is Crump et al. (2013). They replicated a wide variety of cognitive psychology paradigmas (e.g. Stroop, Flanker, Inhibition of Return), arguing for "empirical validity". If known effects can be replicated online, this would render the platform suitable for similar experiments. In a recent paper, Reimers and Stewart (2014) review the precision of online experiments that require millisecond timing. The most pertinent problem is the hardware of the users. In within-subject designs, this is not a problem. For correlational and longitudinal designs, however, these differences in the hardware can bias the results. If you want to run these kinds of studies, I suggest you read both papers cited above.
Consider crowdsourcing for your own research!
Before concluding, let me emphasize the following: Almost every questionnaire that you usually post on Facebook can also be conducted using the above outlined approach, which does not only ensure a diverse pool of participants, but also tremendously speeds up your data collection. As a side note, data from online studies are generally high in quality and more diverse than data from traditional lab experiments (Buhrmester, Kwang, & Gosling, 2011; Gosling, Sandy, John, & Potter, 2010; Gosling, Vazire, Srivastava, & John, 2004). Additionally – and with some programming experience – you can run complex experimental procedures as well. Although the method is a little harder, it makes your research better, faster and stronger.
Some final thoughts
Crowdsourcing your research on platforms like Amazon MTurk or Crowdflower has a great deal of advantages, among them the possibility to efficiently collect data from a large and diverse sample. Importantly, this method also allows for much bigger samples, offering a way to mitigate the problem of notoriously low power of studies in psychology (Fraley & Vazire, 2014)[4].
In addition to ethical (how much should I pay the "workers"?) and technical (how do I program an experiment for the web?) challenges, there is a whole new set of issues that need to be addressed (Chandler, Mueller, & Paolacci, 2014; for a short review, see Paolacci & Chandler, 2014). Whatever comes next, crowdsourcing will be a useful tool to have in our pockets.

This trip to Vegas we stayed 3 nights at ARIA, and 4 nights in Bellagio. Both great hotels. ARIA is modern and new, full of energetic young people. While Bellagio is more like a classic luxury hotel, with the best view in town.
You can read my ARIA review here later if you wish.
Bellagio History
Bellagio is a luxury hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip. It is owned and operated by MGM and was built on the site of the demolished Dunes hotel and casino. It was inspired by the Lake Como in the town of Bellagio in Italy. One of the most significant attraction here is the Fountains of Bellagio. You can absolutely not miss this large dancing music fountain when you are in Vegas.
We booked the most basic room for around USD 180 per night, upon check-in, we gave up the 20 dollars trick since ARIA, so just simply asked if there was any complimentary room upgrade available. The check in lady politely denied that there's no complimentary upgrade available. However she had a Fountain View King Room available for upgrade for only USD34 a night. Ok, tempted, we paid for the upgrade. I checked the room rate was about USD 234 per night for Fountain View King Room. So it wasn't too bad by paying only 34 USD for a small upgrade. Of course on top of all that there is still 13.38% tax and US44.22 per night resort fee. Bloody lots of ++ surcharge in Vegas.
Bellagio Vegas : Fountain View King Room
Once we entered the room, we knew it was well-worth it for the upgrade! Having stayed in a few other hotels on the strip (MGM, ARIA, Palazzo) and been to a few nice bars and restaurants with the best view in town. Nothing can compare to this view really.
This room doesn't have the biggest window comparing to other hotels, but the view compensated it all. 47 sqm room is pretty spacious. We can tell it was built for luxury and comfort when it was first built back in 1998 (19 years ago). Even after all these years it is still very well-maintained.
Separate bath and shower. Nice marbles tiles.
What we like about Bellagio Vegas? Pros
- Clear and comfortable room
- Best view in town (get the fountain view room)
- Good location – located in the middle part of the strip. It's near to other parts of the strip and also has many food and shopping options located within Bellagio property.
- Well-equipped gym but need to walk pass the casino to get there
- Plenty of amenities around Bellagio such as AVIS car rental office is just located at the basement, just across the road from the 24 hours convenient store (CVS Walgreens).
- Free tram to ARIA and Monte Carlo (ARIA Express)
- Can't store your own drinks in the mini bar which can be quite annoying. Well, I guess this is quite a common practise in most Vegas hotels anyway.
- No free bottled water in the room (We got our 3 litres bottle from CVS just across the road)
- Casino with strong cigarette smell. (especially annoying when we need to pass by casino everytime going to the gym)
- No free parking
- No coffee machine or water boiler in the room (This is a 5 star hotel)
Overall score 4/5
It is still a very good hotel that is very strategically located. It's near to everything and we absolutely loved the location. The room is not the newest and probably need a mild update in the years to come but at this moment of time, if view is you thing, this is definitely the hotel to go for! If view is secondary and comfort and budget concern, ARIA is probably an good option comparing to Bellagio as ARIA is slightly cheaper but the rooms are newer.
So, for the view and location = Bellagio
for the price and room comfort = ARIA
Which is your favourite hotel when visiting Vegas?

I have the Xperia XA1 Ultra and this new update popped up. This appears to be a security patch. Has anyone had problems with it? If it does have problems, I'm not interested in taking time to factory reset my phone... again...
Hello, just yesterday I get to my XA1 plus, I have not installed it. Also, do not install update 48.1.A.2.73 (https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-XA1-Ultra/Update-48-1-A-2-73-has-issues/td-p/1352097#gref) because I have read that it has many problems and from this last one (.101) I want to inform me if it is worse or better than the .73
regards :Guiño:
Hi, I'm experiencing a problem updating it as it keeps saying 'pending network.' What could be the problem
I updated this for week and it's smoother than before and fixed alot of bug go for it guys btw battery the same good as we used from the phone no worries
It appears the battery usage is slightly heavier since updating and there is some form of issue syncing / keeping the correct time since updating, time appears to slow down when in standby. Noted incorrect time by up to 30mins so far upon awakening handset, although it does report correct time on lockscreen, unsure if there are any other bugs as yet.
Battery drains from 100% to zero in just few minutes... Since update.
Since the update My battery is draining rapidly😵
100%-30% in 6 hours with out using it.
System use only.
2min of screentime - checking the clock😊
I can't update my sony xa1 plus as well. After all the updating process, it will just say "could not install update". I really wanna update because my phone keeps on lagging and prompting the "process not responding" warning everytime. It's annoying.

government as in business you get what you pay for--and in the case of taxes, he theorizes, the more citizens pay on a local level the more likely they will be to insist that they get their money's worth. Inadequate funding for schools and salaries so low that they fail to attract competent individuals to civil service jobs ultimately cost the citizenry more than would a tax increase. Because Americans are not willing to spend the appropriate amounts at the local level to assure that salaries for teachers and civil servants are sufficient to attract the best and the brightest, they are doomed to dissatisfaction with their local governments. In Zeisler's view, the majority of the troubles that citizens complain of come as a direct result of insufficient funding. And for this, says Zeisler, the low-tax lobby and the small-but-powerful interests that profit from lower taxes are largely to blame.

Obama Defines "Change"
Obama's speech this morning at Philadelphia's Constitution Center was - right time, right place - to me. An emblematic and prominent historic moment in most recent history. A call to drag out old demons and see them for what they really are and what they really do to us as a multiracial society and our destiny as a united nation...
Focusing on the Rev. Wright's recently extracted and overplayed remarks, his relationship with him and pointing out their differences in philosophies, Obama says that Wright's mistake was that he sees society as "stagnant" - unable to change - and we all know this is not so. Obama makes it plain that he believes differently.
He instead speaks of America's ability to change:"But what we know -- what we have seen - is that America can change. That is true genius of this nation. What we have already achieved gives us hope - the audacity to hope - for what we can and must achieve tomorrow."
Just as Gandhi says: "You must be the change you want to see in the world." so Obama does.
Obama addresses racism head on and invites us to continue the dialog out in the open - instead of behind closed doors and in segregated company - where nothing will ever be solved, but instead worsened. Can America do that? I think the answer to that question is yes - we must if we are to move ahead and achieve what we all know is possible as a nation. He invites us to continue a debate that was initiated 221 years ago at the founding of our nation ..."at a room across the street."

Criminal Defense Attorneys and DWI Lawyers in Bryan, Texas
A man arrested awaits the judge to use his gavel to render a decision.
If you have been charged with a crime in Bryan, Texas, it may be wise to seek the advice of a qualified criminal defense attorney before you plead guilty to any crime. Regardless of your charges or the evidence gathered against you, individuals are entitled to a fair trial under the law. The consequences of pleading guilty to a crime, even a small misdemeanor charge, can be immense. You could face jail time, loss of access to certain federal programs, and difficulty getting jobs or gaining admissions to universities in the future. Much is at stake, even if the crime seems small. The Wagnon Law Group, PLLC can work closely with you, to help you fight for your innocence, freedom, and rights. CALL US AT (979) 703-8665 OR After Hours: (979) 690-0161 OR fill out our FREE CASE EVALUATION to speak with Attorney Jeff Wagnon today.
We understand that the criminal justice system can inspire fear and stress in anyone who has to face it. You are not alone. The Wagnon Law Group, PLLC can help you navigate police questioning and the courts.
How Can a Criminal Lawyer Help Me?
The Wagnon Law Group, PLLC are criminal lawyers in Bryan, Texas who understand the intricacies of the law, the rules that arresting officers are required to follow, and the laws that prosecutors must abide by when making a case or when presenting evidence. There are many ways that the police, the courts, and prosecutors can get things wrong.
Arresting officers sometimes use policing tactics that violate citizens' civil rights. Officers may fail to read Miranda warnings or they may stop citizens without proper due cause. Any of these facts could result in a dropped case. A criminal lawyer can take a look at police reports to see if your civil rights were violated in any way.
Courts must provide you with a fair trial. A criminal lawyer who understands proper court procedure can hold judges, prosecutors, and juries accountable. Evidence must be admissible in order to be presented. Witnesses must offer sound testimony and not base their claims on hearsay. A criminal defense attorney can stand beside you through your trial to help you get the best possible outcome and to make sure that the prosecutors don't violate the law as they present their case against you.
Evidence can be mishandled or improperly stored. Evidence must also be gathered using legal means. Police may tell you that they have evidence against you when you are arrested. What they may not tell you is that this evidence could be compromised. Drug tests used in many states across the country have been known to produce false positives. If this is the only evidence an officer has, your Bryan TX criminal defense attorney may be able to build a reasonable doubt in a jury or judge, resulting in your acquittal. Before you plead guilty or accept a plea deal, you may want to speak to a qualified criminal lawyer in Bryan, Texas.

What You Need to Know About Police Questioning
If you are under suspicion of a crime or are being questioned by police, it is important to understand your rights. Police may use a range of tactics in order to get a confession. They may suggest leniency in exchange for a confession without making promises. They may lie about the evidence they have against you. If you are being questioned by the police, you must be very careful when talking and understand your rights.
- You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to answer officers' questions. If you fear that your answers may implicate you in a crime, your best bet is to ask to speak to a lawyer before answering any questions. There are times when cooperating with police can be beneficial. There are even times when answering questions can help your case. However, you should do so under the counsel of a qualified Bryan, Texas criminal defense lawyer.
- Officers may or may not be lying to you. If officers make claims about having evidence you committed a crime, be careful before speaking up. Officers are permitted to lie when interrogating a suspect in order to get a confession.
- Don't accept a deal in exchange for a confession without speaking to a criminal lawyer. There is a big difference between making a plea deal in court and taking a deal in the interrogation room. Officers understand the limits of the law and may suggest leniency without making any promises. In some cases, individuals' confessions when gathered using these means have held up in court. A lawyer can work with you to help you understand the benefits and risks of taking a plea deal and can work to construct a plea deal that protects your legal rights.
- Exhaustion can lead to mistakes. If you decide to talk, officers may hold you for long periods of time. They may stress you out with false claims. They may try to emotionally manipulate you into saying things that may or may not be true. Contact a criminal defense lawyer if you are facing questioning. You do not have to talk without a lawyer present.
You are under no obligation to speak to officers without the presence of a lawyer. A criminal defense lawyer in Bryan, Texas can stand beside you every step of the way to ensure that the interrogation and questioning process is carried out ethically. If you are facing police questioning, tell the officers that you are invoking your right to remain silent, and contact the Wagnon Law Group, PLLC today.
Protecting Your Freedom
The police have much power when it comes to arresting individuals. However, there are cases where police violate civil rights and fail to properly perform investigations. Whether you are facing small misdemeanor charges or felony charges, a criminal defense lawyer in Bryan, Texas can help. The Wagnon Law Group, PLLC helps individuals facing DWI charges, drug charges, felony charges, burglary or robbery charges, or other serious criminal charges in Texas.

Free PDF Compressor for Windows
A Free Tool to Compress Your PDF Files
Free PDF Compressor is a tool for both home and business use that helps you compress your PDF documents for free. This service comes in handy when you want to decrease your PDF file's size.View full description
- Easy and simple to use
- Free software
- PDFs with scanned images can be hard to compress
- Malware issues could arise
Free PDF Compressor is a tool for both home and business use that helps you compress your PDF documents for free. This service comes in handy when you want to decrease your PDF file's size.
Why Compress a PDF File?
A PDF file can be compressed for a variety of reasons. Generally, PDF files aren't that large. But if they run into hundreds of pages and have multiple images within, the file size could go up exponentially. The problem with large files is that they are slow to open. They are also not easy to share or transfer. Computers with limited storage space would have a hard time accommodating such PDFs on disk. When you reduce PDF file size using Free PDF Compressor, all of the things that aren't possible with a large PDF file become possible. Moreover, small PDFs are easier to load on mobile phones.
Compression Settings
The Free PDF Compressor tool supports five compression settings. These are set according to the end use of the compressed file. In other words, the resolution and image settings are different for screens and eBooks. These requirements could do with low and medium-resolution compressed outputs. But high-quality PDF compressing is needed for printers and pre-press. This high-quality compressing also makes sure the original color scheme of the PDF file is maintained. For the lowest quality, set the compression mode to "screen". For high-quality compression, you must set the level to "pre-press". Kindly note some PDF files would turn out large with the "screen" setting. Finally, if you are looking for other free alternatives, we recommend you to download PDF Compressor or ORPALIS PDF Reducer Free.

The CRM SDK messages CreateRequest and UpdateRequest support a configuration parameter "SuppressDuplicateDetection" that provides control over whether duplicate detection rules will be applied - see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh210213(v=crm.6).aspx. However, this parameter is not available through over programmatic means (such as the REST endpoint) to create or update records.
To workaround this, I created a plugin that sets the "SuppressDuplicateDetection" parameter based on the value of a boolean attribute that can included in the Entity instance that is created or updated.
I've posted the source code to the MSDN Code Gallery here
I created this because I had a need to apply duplicate detection rules to entities created via the REST endpoint in CRM 2011.
It may be that this plugin could also be used as a way to revert the CRM 2013 behaviour back to that of CRM 2011, to allow duplicate detection rules to fire on CRM forms. However, I've yet to test this fully; if anybody wants to test it, feel free to do so and make comments on this post. Otherwise, I'll probably update this post if I find anything useful with the CRM 2013 interface.

The new shopping center occupants that have already signed leases include an internet coffee and yogurt shop, a women's clothing boutique, a shrimp specialty restaurant, a beauty supply store, and an escrow office. Designed by Robert Stewart Architects of Long Beach, the shopping center is being constructed by E-Tech from Los Angeles. Building a shopping center in Downey is a dream Myrtle Plaza owner Giovanni Persico, 81, shared with his wife Jiuseppina, who died in 2007 at the age of 75. The couple acquired the property in 2002 and the shopping center construction began in February 2008. "This has been a large project that has come to pass," said son Johnny Persico, 51. "We should have done this two years ago because it is tough building these days. You really have to have perseverance because the banks are holding back on everything." "But my parents wanted to do this just for us kids - everything they did was for our future and the future of their grandchildren." With no more than fourth and fifth grade educations, Giovanni and his wife emigrated from Italy to Ohio during the 1950's. Working as a floor sweeper in an Italian deli and in a steel mill, Giovanni saved enough money to buy his first pizzeria in Cleveland which he named Pina Pizza after his wife. In 1959, the Persico's moved to Downey and opened Pina's Pizza House on the corner of Firestone Boulevard and Second Street, and eventually Papa John's Car Wash. Now suffering from failing health, Giovanni sold the car wash two years ago and his children run Pina Pizza House. "We have always done business as a family. My mother was still in here working when she was in her 70's," Johnny said. On April 15, the Persico siblings - Johnny, brother Caro, and sister Amerlia Alberico - will celebrate the 50-year anniversary of their parents first opening Pina's Pizza House in Downey. "My parents instilled in us to save money and to work hard," Johnny said. "That's why they had what they had. Building the shopping center won't make us millionaires, but hopefully it will continue to generate income for our future family generations." Giovanni's dream for his children and grandchildren - the Myrtle Plaza - is conveniently located behind the Persico family's Pina Pizza House restaurant. "This is very upscale and has so much class," said BRC Advisors Managing Partner Tom Papoulias. "They spared no cost and used the finest materials constructing the shopping center. Even the brick parking lot is beautiful and looks so much better than just blacktop." Johnny hopes to have a grand opening ceremony, but a date has not yet been set. "We are just waiting for the certificate of occupancy from the city and the tenants can start moving into the shopping center," Johnny said. Businesses interested in renting retail space in Myrtle Plaza can call Tom Papoulias at (562) 304-7616. ********** Published: January 16, 2009 - Volume 7 - Issue 39

Pope John Paul II was our beloved Holy Daddy, as Ramona called him, and I learned to love the Catholic Church in no small part thanks to him. He taught me not to fear. In 2006, I wrote:
"Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust and not be afraid, for the Lord is my strength and my song, and He has also become my salvation. Therefore with joy you shall draw water from the wells of salvation. On that day you shall say: Praise the Lord, call upon His name; among the nations make known His deeds, proclaim how exalted is His name. Sing to the Lord, for He has done glorious things. Let this be known in all the earth. Shout with exultation, O inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel!"~~ Isaiah 12:2-6
Any time I hear the words, "Be not afraid" I think of our dear, departed Papa, John Paul II (or John Paul the Great, as I'm sure he will be known in years to come.) The first words of his pontificate were, "Be not afraid!" I return to these words so often: in times of trial, in times of anxiety, in times of uncertainty.
When I fret about our homeschool, or about my abilities as a teacher:
Be not afraid.
When I worry about not having another child, or about having one:
Be not afraid.
When I pay the bills and stew about money:
Be not afraid.
When I despair about the world:
Be not afraid.
Fear is not from God. He doesn't want me to waste my precious days, hours, or even minutes in worry and fear. And who am I to replace the good He has in store for me with worry of my own making?
And so, "I will trust and not be afraid, for the Lord is my strength and my song, and He has also become my salvation."
For the last eight years, Pope Benedict XVI has been our holy daddy, and I think I must move at the same glacier-pace as does the Church in some matters, because I still sometimes think of him as "our new pope." (I don't, ahem, always adapt well to change.) Our new pope touched my heart from the first moment -- I remember hearing that he had been looking forward to retiring, to long walks, and writing books. And then... this. The papacy. What a privilege, yes, but what a burden. Unimaginable weight.
And yet, he accepted. Of course he accepted. With humility and obedience to God, he accepted. It was not what he wanted, but he said yes.
Now he has resigned. He told us that after repeatedly examining his conscience he had come to the conclusion that this was the course he must take. In his resignation I see the same humility and obedience that Pope B16 displayed when he said yes eight years ago. He gives us -- has always given us -- a supreme model of prayer. We all, including holy daddies, must pray, listen for God's response, and pay attention once that response becomes apparent.
Our lives are not our own.
Pope John Paul II showed us that when he stayed, a suffering servant, in the papacy until his death. He prayed, he listened, and he obeyed. Pope Benedict XVI showed us the same thing when he resigned. He, a different kind of suffering servant, also prayed, listened, and obeyed.
Obedience looks different in every life.
Both of these holy men taught me invaluable lessons in love and obedience, trust and faith.

Travelling can be a seriously enjoyable way to spend your time. You can see places you've never been, try new foods and experience new cultures. Because you'll be out of your element and in unfamiliar areas, it can be tricky to make sure your valuables are safe in the airport, on the plane and even at your destination. Here are some tips to keep your devices, wallet and information out of someone else's hands:
Choose wisely
Many people tend to over pack when preparing for a trip. They may bring too much stuff, from extra clothing to more credit cards than necessary and even multiple technology devices like tablets, readers and music players. Not only do these items take up room in your suitcase, they can also add up to be pretty heavy. If you aren't sure you'll use your iPad or you don't need multiple credit cards, opt to leave them at home. This way they are safe and sound and you won't have to worry about them. It's also a good idea to carefully consider what you will need and bring only that with you when you leave your hotel or hostel.
Use the hotel safe
You will need to bring some valuables while you travel. If you're headed overseas or out of the country, that will mean bringing important identification information like your passport as well as your wallet and cell phone. When you're not using these items, it's a good idea to stash them in the hotel safe. Also consider placing jewelry that you're not wearing in the custody of the hotel staff. They will give you a receipt and remind you to bring your things with you when you check out. They can store anything from laptops and tablets to diamonds and cash. You may even be able to get your own personal safe or gain access into one that is in your room. This way, you put the items away and remove them with no go-between person. And you can get into the safe whenever you want.
Carry a crossbody bag
Petty thieves are opportunists. When it comes to carrying your things, you want to make sure you're not an easy target. Backpacks are not always the best option for holding your wallet and other items, as someone can reach into them from behind without you knowing, even if there is a zipper. Instead, opt for a bag that is crossbody. You can easily hold it in front of you when on public transportation to ensure no one is rifling through it. Look for one with a thick strap or a chain, as this makes it difficult for tricky thieves to cut the strap and run away with your bag and its contents. Make sure your bag is zipped properly unless you are reaching into it momentarily. This will prevent things from falling out and strangers from stealing your personal items.
It's also a good idea to purchase travel insurance. This will keep you protected in the event that your belongings are lost or stolen while you're on vacation.

Rayan Achbami may only be in high school, but he already has experience running a restaurant.
The Greenwich 17-year-old and his parents run Argana, a Moroccan restaurant at 325 North Main Street in Port Chester that opened in March.
"We service Moroccan food with an American twist," Achbami said. "We don't want to overwhelm people with Moroccan spices."
Food runs in the family. Achbami's mother, Mia, loves to cook and is always getting complimented on her food while his father, Nordine has been in the restaurant business for more than 20 years, running restaurants in Greenwich.
"My mother's recipes are timeless and eloquent," Achbami said.
When eating Moroccan food, Achbami said patrons feel a sense of euphoria, whether it be from dishes like chicken tajine or lamb shank couscous.
"It's a whole new experience for people," Achbami said. "We've been getting a lot of repeat customers. I love seeing the expression on people's faces. It makes me feel proud of what my family does."
Starting a restaurant in a competitive market like Port Chester means Argana always has to keep pushing itself.
"Each restaurant is always improving and we have to maintain that level of improvement," Achbami said. "We're always trying to better ourselves."
So far, Achbami said he has been able to balance running a restaurant while attending Greenwich High School. He said he hopes to become a doctor and study neurology.
