In observational research, results can be changed or biased by the act of measurement itself. This is called a measurement effect .
What are measurement effects? What is an observer effect? How can it distort observational data?
One type of measurement effect is called an observer effect. It occurs when subjects alter their behavior because an observer is present. For example, a developmental psychology student might decide to study parent/child interactions by bringing video equipment into homes and recording the behavior of parents and children. The presence of an observer is likely to change the behavior of both parents and children. Similar problems affect every television documentary about particular societies or cultures: it is always possible that the presence of a camera changes behavior.
What are unobtrusive measures, and why are they used?
One way to avoid observer effects is to use unobtrusive measures (Webb, Campbell, Stanley & Sechrest, 1966) in which the subject is not aware of being observed or tested. An unobtrusive study of parent/child interactions in a department store might use video records from security cameras. Unobtrusive measures are used to prevent the observer effects that may occur when a person knows he or she is being observed.
Webb, Campbell, Stanley, and Sechrest told how a museum wanted to measure which of its exhibits was attracting the most interest from visitors, but they did not want to bother visitors with a questionnaire. They came up with a clever unobtrusive measure: they examined the amount of wear on the floor tiles by each exhibit. When the tiles in front of an exhibit showed more wear and tear, they could assume more people were stopping there to look at the exhibit.
What unobtrusive measure was used in a museum?
The German researcher Eibl-Eibesfeldt used a form of unobtrusive measure in his studies of native cultures. During some of his movie making, Eibl-Eibesfeldt put a mirror in front of the lens of his camera. In that case, the camera photographed everything off to the side rather than things in front of it. Eibl-Eibesfeldt would obtain permission from a family to film their everyday behaviors. Then he would point his camera away from them and start the camera running.
How did Eibl-Eibesfeldt minimize observer effects with a "somewhat sneaky" technique?
The people knew enough about cameras to assume he was not photographing them if the camera was pointed a different direction, so they "acted natural" and Eibl-Eibesfeldt was able to photograph them interacting in natural ways while they thought they were off-camera. This was somewhat sneaky but probably essential for getting an accurate record of un-self-conscious behavior and avoiding observer effects.
Prof. Eibl-Eibesfeldt put the film archive of his right-angle camera documentary work at this URL:

JUBA (Reuters) - South Sudanese celebrating their nation's first birthday on Monday will bask in the pride of their hard-won political freedom, but many may ask when they will enjoy the material benefits promised by the government of former rebels.
Cleaners have swept Juba's dusty streets, hawkers have been peddling red, green and black national flags, and government workers have hung colorful bunting from lampposts to prepare for the ceremonies.
"Together we walk the land of freedom," read a 20-foot independence day billboard near the airport showing President Salva Kiir in step beside Vice President Riek Machar.
South Sudan split from Sudan after a civil war that killed some 2 million people over two decades, becoming the world's newest nation. But the jubilation that saturated the ramshackle capital last year has dimmed.
The government is struggling to build institutions and stamp their authority over a vast, gun-riddled territory.
Prices have been soaring, especially since the country shut down oil output in a row with Khartoum last January, erasing 98 percent of state revenues and the main source of hard currency.
Many South Sudanese have been forced to tighten their belts while official corruption has gone largely unchecked.
"Now we are struggling for even the basic needs," one government employee said as she sat in a traffic jam, cursing at the luxury cars creeping along newly-tarmacked streets.
"We've given the government a lot of responsibility, allowed them to take decisions on our behalf but they don't make any consultations. They shut down the oil without telling us anything and they didn't even have a plan B."
South Sudanese voted overwhelmingly to secede in a referendum last year that was promised in a 2005 peace deal that ended the war over ideology, religion, ethnicity and oil.
Amid pomp and flag-waving, the former guerrillas of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement took full control of the country on July 9, 2011.
They also took about three-quarters of Sudan's oil output, bringing in billions of dollars that many citizens hoped would be channeled to develop a nation where just over a quarter of adults can read and life expectancy is under 50.
Instead, officials are now scrambling to find enough money to keep basic services running.
Businessman Tong Albino Akot said the government's new interest in collecting taxes was a positive step, but his agriculture and import venture was feeling the sting.
"The government tried to explain that there's no money. They're even getting tough on income tax. They're like a wounded lion opening its mouth. You can feel it," Akot said.
"There's no dollars. There's no oil so the government doesn't pay (contractors) on time and sometimes not at all."
Corruption and mismanagement have not helped. In June, Kiir sent a letter to current and former officials asking them to return $4 billion of "stolen" government money.
Like many other South Sudanese, Akot balked at the figure: "If there's $4 billion outside the country and they're asking us for pennies, why don't they return that money first?"
Independence has also failed to end violence both inside the country and on the border with Sudan. In April, South Sudan's army occupied an oil-producing region also claimed by Sudan, bringing the countries close to a new war.
A few months earlier, the armed forces failed to prevent cattle raids between warring ethnic groups that killed hundreds of people.
Human rights groups say weak rule of law allows security forces to carry out abuses against civilians with impunity.
The challenges have not dampened everyone's optimism.
Leaning back on a plastic garden chair in an unfinished building near Juba airport, student Pater Achuil sipped a glass of milk and listed the ways life had improved since secession.
"We have waited for the flower of freedom," he said, shards of concrete poking through the capital's skyline behind him. "The difference you can feel here in South Sudan is that ... even the government cannot hassle you (now)."
But moments later, police in blue camouflage brandishing Kalashnikov rifles raided the tea stall, confiscated the shisha water pipes and loaded the chairs onto a truck.
Achuil stood with his friend to the side, baffled. The officer brushed off a question about whether the raid was part of a drive to clean up Juba ahead of celebrations.
"This is not your concern," he said.

While excitement over the latest buzz on the new Xbox One is sweeping the tech world in recent days, gaming fans should also realize that nothing is cast in stone as of yet. At least, not until the Microsoft people themselves officially put the rumors to rest.
Nonetheless, we bring you a roundup of what we have gathered so far from different sources that have set off the rumor mill.
More Than One Xbox One Console in the Works
Kotaku was one of the first to report about the upcoming Microsoft gaming console. And, according to the sources, we may be talking about not just one console, but a pair of them. What is more interesting is that a separate Polygon report substantiates the rumor citing their own sources.
For 2016, gamers could be looking at a slimmer, more compact version of the Xbox One to be released. Come 2017, another console will hit the shelves, this time, a more powerful successor to the current model.
Cheaper and Slimmer Model Due for an August 2016 Release
The trimmed version of the Xbox One will not only make a cutback in its size, but also with its price. And according to the Kotaku people, an announcement regarding the compact model could be made at the upcoming E3 this June.
The console, which will have an August 2016 release, will be 40 percent smaller, and could feature a 4K video support and a larger 2TB hard drive, sources say.
The New box One is More Powerful Than Sony's Playstation 4 Neo
Rumor has it that the Xbox One due to be released in 2017 will outmuscle the PS4 Neo in terms of sheer power. While the new Sony console will deliver 4.14 teraflops of peak performance number, the Xbox One 2017 model will be even more impressive at 6 teraflops.
Microsoft and Oculus Partnership
And, with the latest rumors of the new Xbox One having more powerful capability than its Playstation counterpart, another exciting development is being passed around. The upcoming Xbox One could support the Oculus Rift on its own, which is not an easy task to undertake even for most PCs these days.
The new Microsoft console's more powerful technical specs can make all this a reality. And, the company is now trying to forge a partnership with Oculus, according to sources.
All Part of Microsoft's bigger Project Helix Masterplan
The release of the two consoles is part of a bigger business strategy by the company to converge their two major brands, the Xbox and Windows. The masterplan, which is codenamed "Project Helix," could pave the way for more future games to be release on both platforms.

Comics A.M. | Image, manga dominate March bookstore sales
Graphic novels | BookScan's list of the bestselling graphic novels in bookstores in March divides neatly into eight Image Comics titles (six volumes of The Walking Dead and two of Saga), eight volumes of manga (four Attack on Titan, four Viz Media titles) and four volumes of media tie-ins. For the second month in a row, not a single DC Comics or Marvel title cracked the Top 20, although an older DK Publishing character guide to the Avengers (not actually a graphic novel) came in at No. 11. The top-selling title was the 20th volume of The Walking Dead, and the No. 2 was the third volume of Saga. It's also interesting to note that the first three volumes of Attack on Titan charted higher than the most recent release, which suggests new readers are still coming into the franchise in substantial numbers — and sticking with it. [ICv2]
Publishing | Archie Comics Co-CEO Jon Goldwater talks about how the company has changed since he took over, focusing on some recent moves, such as hiring writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa as chief creative officer and bringing Alex Segura back as marketing director and editor of the Red Circle Comics superhero line. [Comic Riffs]
Creators | Dean Haspiel discusses creative challenges, making choices and the occasional frustrations of being a comics artist. [Freaksugar]
Creators | Darryl Cunningham translates an interview he did with the French psychiatry magazine Alter Ego, in which he discusses Psychiatric Tales (called Psychiatric Fables in the interview) and how making comics changed his life. [Darryl Cunningham]
Creators | Nathan Hale (yes, that's his real name) talks about the historical research he does for his graphic novels. Hale is the illustrator of Rapunzel's Revenge and Calamity Jack, and he's working on a series of historical graphic novels, Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales, which feature the historical Nathan Hale, on the gallows, telling stories from American history to a stuffy British soldier and a buffoonish hangman. "The books may look cartoony, the facts may be interrupted by jokes, but everything in a Hazardous Tales book has been researched, fact-checked, then researched again. Double the research, double the fun!" [The Kindle Post]
Creators | Writer (and native Iowan) Phil Hester spoke at the University of Northern Iowa as part of its minicomic convention. [WCF Courier]
Comics | A new comic about Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi portrays him as a heroic child: "The 45- page comic book shows Modi rescuing a drowning boy, swimming in crocodile infested waters, serving tea and food to soldiers going to war in 1962, taking on school bullies, helping his father sell tea, acting in theatre, strategising his team's kabaddi win and saving a trapped bird." For some reason, the comic bears no creator credits. [IBN Live]
Legal | Doujinshi, or fan-made comics, are a big part of the Japanese anime and manga scene — Comiket, the largest comics convention in the world, is a doujinshi event — so creators and fans are concerned that the Trans Pacific Partnership will lead publishers to enforce their rights more stringently, casting a chill on the doujinshi scene and possibly cosplay as well. [TechDirt]
Exhibits | Peter Crimmins checks out an exhibit of comics by black creators that is currently being showcased at Philadelphia City Hall, and he speaks to Yummy Odom, founder of East Coast Black Age of Comics Convention, about the comics on display. [Newsworks]

Harmony Ridge owners bring Wonderland to downtown
When Mark and Sara Perdigao opened Harmony Ridge market on Highway 20 and five miles outside of Nevada City 12 years ago, it was a very good thing. But something was missing – a downtown location.
So in 2013 they opened a second Harmony Ridge Market at 115 S. Pine St. where the store thrived and grew to fill the space entirely. More recently, when the long-time business Tanglewood Forest closed its doors right next to Harmony Ridge Market, Mark and Sara seized the opportunity to realize yet another dream – to open a fun, whimsy-filled shop full of practical sensual "oddities" rarely found in downtown Nevada City. They opened that shop in March and call it Wonderland.
The store is loosely based on "Alice in Wonderland" and highlights eclectic colors, novelty gifts, jewelry, bath products, clothing from Nepal and Katmandu, body jewelry, smoking accessories and soon fine cigars.
"We love downtown, and we were growing out of our space next door in the market. So when this space became available, we decided to go for it and offer some fun, unique merchandise not normally found downtown," Mark said. "In doing so, we freed up enough space on the market side to put in some inside seating for our deli customers convenience."
In response to many inquiries from out-of-town visitors and guests at various downtown events, Mark and Sara are on the verge of having the only humidor in town.
"It's on the way here from Florida now. We've had many market shoppers interested in buying fine cigars to celebrate whatever occasion brings them to Nevada City, and now we will be able to offer fine tobacco and cigars kept in a humidor for maximum flavor preservation," Mark said. "We've always wanted a shop like this, and we are so happy that we got the opportunity to have both our businesses under one roof in downtown Nevada City".
Other gifts include fair trade bead and fused-glass jewelry from Guatemala, sterling silver and semi-precious stone jewelry made by local artist Rebel Wrapt of Auburn and popular sea-themed air plants from San Diego that resemble sea animals like octopus, squid and jelly fish. For "Alice in Wonderland" devotees, one-of-a-kind prints on antique dictionary pages are available from a company in San Francisco. Very unique and oddly appealing indeed.
Wonderland hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m Monday – Saturday. For more information, call 530-265-0588.
Mark Perdigao stands inside the new Wonderland store that he and his wife, Sara, recently opened in Nevada City.

Congress passes major overhaul of patent law, sends bill to president for his signature
WASHINGTON (AP) ' Congress has given the U.S. patent system its first major overhaul since the age of the transistor radio by passing legislation designed to spur innovation and provide a sorely needed boost to the job market.
Senate passage Thursday of the America Invents Act, which sends it to President Barack Obama for his signature, is the first significant change in patent law since 1952.
The bill is aimed at streamlining the patent process, reducing costly legal battles and giving the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office the money it needs to process patent applications in a timely fashion.
The bill would switch the United States from the "first-to-invent" system to the "first-inventor-to-file" system for patent applications. Some small-scale and independent inventors say it will put them at a disadvantage with big corporations.

Move Over Bristol, Let's Hear From Obama on Teenage Pregnancy Prevention
While Bristol Palin was enjoying another prime time moment making her ambassadorial debut as the Candie's Foundation's abstinence spokesperson - Meghan, you're right, what dizzy come-hither- hypocrisy is at work there! - you probably missed the Obama administration's low-key unveiling, in the budget, of its teenage pregnancy prevention approach. Mature discretion in tackling this hot-button issue: Now there's a style that seems to send the right sober signals. In a minimal, and carefully muted, paragraph in the budget blueprint , the administration emphasizes its support of "evidence-based" programs while clearly aiming not to get both sides all riled up right away. Thus you won't find such phrases as "comprehensive sex education" and "abstinence-only." Instead, you'll find references to "medically-accurate" information and to the "importance of abstinence."
But don't bet on the success of efforts to avoid the rhetoric of arousal. Already some reproductive health advocates are complaining that the formulations fudge too much. And it's not clear that abstinence proponents, whose funding is being cut, are going to buy the administration line, reported in the Wall Street Journal , that they could qualify for funds set aside in a pot for developing and testing "innovative strategies." They surely can't hope for a penny if Bristol is their idea of innovation.

Legacy Scholarship Award
"The SALT Center has made me a better student, both inside and outside the classroom." - Matthew Smiley, Legacy Scholarship Award Recipient
At the SALT Center, we want to ensure that all students have access to our services, which is why we partner with generous donors to offer several need-based scholarships every year. In 2014, we established the Legacy Scholarship Award, which covers all SALT Center fees for one qualified student throughout their tenure in our program. In addition to financial need, this scholarship is awarded based on rigorous academic criteria that must be met and maintained.
Our current Legacy Scholarship Award recipient is Matt Smiley. When he learned that he had been selected for this scholarship, Matt was elated: "I felt like I won the lottery!" However, Matt's work ethic and achievements prove that being chosen for this award had nothing to do with luck - it was a conscious investment in his remarkable potential, and it is already paying dividends.
We want to grow this award so that we can offer it to more deserving students, like Matt. As he puts it, "There are other hard-working students at the SALT Center who have a difficulty covering their expenses while they pursue a college degree. The Legacy Scholarship Award could allow them to focus on their college experience rather than worrying about their financial situation. That is what this scholarship has done for me."
We are grateful to be a part of Matt's journey at the UA, and incredibly proud of the way he continues to exceed our expectations. This holiday season, we invite you to invest in the future of our students with a contribution to the Legacy Scholarship Award. Together, we can help more Wildcats who learn differently realize their full potential.

The Lightning, without a doubt, is the fastest motorcycle I've ever ridden – gas or electric.
San Carlos, Calif. (PRWEB) August 31, 2012
On the heels of a highly acclaimed win at the FIM e-Power/TTXGP at Laguna Seca, the Barracuda-Lightning SuperBike continues to make waves in the motorcycle racing community just this week being named Best Electric Motorcycle of the Year by Motorcycle.com, who also featured Barracuda-Lightning as "the fastest motorcycle ever ridden" in a stellar review.
"I'm confident when I say Richard Hatfield, CEO and founder of Lightning Motorcycles, has produced a sportbike sure to change the minds of anyone doubting electric motorcycle performance," said Troy Siahaan, reviewer with Motorcycle.com. "The Lightning, without a doubt, is the fastest motorcycle I've ever ridden – gas or electric."
"We are extremely honored to receive such praise from Motorcycle.com, being named Best Electric Motorcycle and receiving an amazing review," commented Hatfield. "We've worked hard to make it the world's greatest SuperBike, and we look forward to delivering that same power and performance to the consumer market."
Motorcycle.com praised Lightning's soon-to-be-released consumer-level electric motorcycle, each which is built to order. The standard option is powered by a 12kWh battery and a motor directly from a GM Tahoe Hybrid SUV, which Motorcycle.com claims allows the bike to "flat out haul." The solar panels the racing team uses to charge their bikes will be available to consumers should they want a truly green motorcycling experience. The consumer-level electric bike starts at $38,000 and the magazine says, "If you can afford one, you'll be in a very exclusive club."
The reviewer concluded, "The acceleration is mind-boggling and it was all I could do just to hang on. Power is delivered in a progressive, linear fashion, the Lightning unleashed a fury unlike anything I've ever experienced. Trust me when I say the Lightning is unlike anything I've ever ridden."

After a teenager murdered her father, she threw a raucous party and then installed a truly bizarre item in her kitchen. You can't make this stuff up. This is absolutely terrible.
In Maggie Valley, North Carolina, a young woman admitted on Monday that she had killed her father when she was a teenager. The then-17-year-old murdered her father and then hid his body in a plastic bag and stored it in her family's storage shed for just under a month, Fox 2 Now reported.
Crystal Brooke Howell, now 20, admitted that she shot her father, Michael Howell, in the head while he was taking a nap on Feb. 24, 2014.

Michael Howell, a sports reporter and editor at the Columbia County News-Times, was first reported to have committed suicide, according to Assistant District Attorney Jeff Jones. "Miss Howell had previously told her friends that her father had killed himself," he said. Then she began to display some unusual behavior.
"She then started to drive his car and spend his money. She had her friends move in, had a drug-fueled party and even had a stripper pole installed in the kitchen," Jones said.

House guests who stayed in the family's cabin near Maggie Valley eventually found Michael's body on March 22, 2014.
Crystal Howell pleaded guilty on Monday to first-degree murder and concealing a death/failing to report a death not from natural causes. She was sentenced to serve a minimum of 25 years in prison before being eligible for parole, but the judge also tacked on an additional 60-84 months for the second charge.

"It's shocking that a young woman kills her father," District Attorney Ashley Welch said. "But the fact that Howell then began to spend her father's money, use his house and drive his car – all after hiding his body and the evidence of her crime – that's the motive. She wanted to live on her terms at the expense of Michael Howell's life. It's very sad."
Extremely sad. He helped bring her into this world and she took him out of it. The silver lining is that justice is currently being served … one year in prison at a time.

The Committee has decided to repeat its annual exercise
of requesting returns from Departments setting out action taken
in respect of instruments reported by the Committee in the previous
year. It has also decided to request information from Departments
on the action taken in respect of instruments reported in previous
years on which action remains outstanding.
Each Department is therefore requested to submit
a return in graphic form as shown in the enclosed examples. The
tables should be headed by the name of the Department and the
total number of instruments reported on in 2002, or on which action
remains outstanding from 2001, 2000 or previous years, as appropriate.
Nil returns should also be submitted.
In the first section, please list any and
all instruments listed in the information submitted in 2001 (i.e.
both "Instruments outstanding from 2000" and "Instruments
reported in 2001") on which action was then still outstanding
and indicate what, if any, action has been taken in 2002. If
no action has been taken, an explanation should be given in the
'Observations' section. An example table is given (and can be
supplied in electronic format on request).
In the second section only instruments which
have been drawn to the special attention of both Houses in the
course of 2002 should be noted (i.e. any instrument the title
of which is listed in bold on the cover of 15th-40th Reports of
Session 2001-02, and 1st-5th Reports of Session 2002-03). The
columns in the table should be completed as follows:
a. JCSI Report
list only those reports which concern your department. Nil returns
for the year should be submitted.
b. Instrument title

Replaced win 8 with win 7 can not get wireless to work
Just bought Lenovo 580 which cane with win 8. As laptop has no touch screen win 8 is problematic and I don't like it in any case so I installed win 7 pro 64 bit in dual boot configuration till I get win 7 working properly. Most things fine but the Broadcom wireless is not working. It worked under 8 and a Kubuntu flash drive. Normally fn + f5 turns radio on and off but it will not work. Trouble shooting indicates radio is off but device controller says driver is fine and the latest. Have any other Lenovo owners fixed the problem? Anyone have any suggestions? I have a usb wireless I could use but that defeats the purpose of a laptop. Lenovo techs helpful but as I changed the OS I would have to go to paid ($89) single incident software help
Really if a flash-drive run drive of Linux works then some how windows 7 should be able to do it.

Hi uriahheep,Happy New Year and Welcome to the forums, Did you install the drivers from the Lenovo website for the network adaptor? Lenovo Support - Drivers & Software (US)? visit this link and download and install the correct version :)
|My System Specs
|02 Jan 2013
Yes that was the first place I looked. However, a new broadcom part is being used, i.e. a BCM4313. See the following for more information InConcert® Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® Coexistence Interface for Single/Dual Antenna Designs - BCM4313 | Broadcom. At the present time. I don't think Lenovo has written a Windows 7 driver for the unit. I have been hunting for other drivers that might work. Note Dell uses the same broadcom part but it's Windows 7 driver refused to load. I'm going to keep looking for a driver but I might wind up replacing the wireless module with one they used in the G580 prior to the middle of last year when they switched to Windows 8. It's really a matter of cost as replacing the module would be very simple. Unless I or some other kind individual finds a driver that will work. I could always use a plug-in USB transceiver but that's the kind of Kluge I am trying to avoid.
|My System Specs

Just wanted to add in some insight. Even if drivers were to be found for windows 7 they may still not fix your problem. Some companies like Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc. have Whitelists implemented in their BIOS/EUFI. Meaning it may be up to their discretion on whether or not said WiFi chipset would even work under windows 7. Ultimately it may come down to needing a BIOS update.
|My System Specs
|03 Jan 2013
Anyway to access these white lists and modify them? I did find a lenovo driver for windows 7 for the transcever but for a 3000 model and am in the process of downloading it. Maybe it will work. To much Cr+p for what should be simple. I could easily go into a win 8 rant but wont.

Have you tried installing the Windows 8 driver under Windows 7? Give it a shot as I have tried that with my sound card and Ethernet, so it may work, but no guarantees.

Have you fully run windows update ?
Like your sig Ion.
|My System Specs
|05 Jan 2013
Windows is fully updated. When I tried to do a regular instal of the win 8 drivers I got a "not for this system error" which stopped the install (how did you get them to install?). Broadcom has released an improved driver but the only site I found it on had the 32 bit edition. I will have to re-download the old 3000 driver from Lenovo as the first was corrupted.
So now I will try the 3000 driver again, see if Lenovo can help with the bios without their super expensive special help or at least tell me if I can switch wireless cards and to which.
Also thanks for the suggestions and post any thing else that might be helpful.
As I suspect you know I am not talking of the band but the nasty villains Dickens created in "David Copperfield"
There is now way to modify the white list unless someone modified the bios.

Analyzing a Box Plot
Lesson 6 of 19
Objective: SWBAT interpret data using the shape of a box plot and compare data sets using box plots.
Big Idea: Students use real life data to construct box plots while gaining conceptual understanding of how the shape of a distribution tells a story.
Today I provide two warmup problems to help open the class. For the problem on Slide 2 of box_plot_day3, students work individually at first and then collaborate with their partner. After a few minutes, I will have 1 or 2 students read their explanation. I will ask others to offer ideas about how to improve the explanation, or, name something that they like about the explanation.
As I observe and listen to the students' work on this first problem, I am trying to determine if students can visualize how a box plot serves to divide up the data into four equal sections. Without having any concrete data to work with, students need to determine where the center of a data set of 25 would lie.
Teaching Point: some concrete learners struggle with these types of questions. I encourage students who are struggling to draw 25 vertical lines (to help with visualizing) and then find the center. You can also have students write down the numbers 1, 2, 3 ,4, 5 and 1, 2, 3 4 to compare where the center falls for both an odd and even data set. They can then generalize this understanding to a data set of 25.
We explore the problem on Slide 3 using the same methods as in Slide #2. I use this question to review the vocabulary we use when working with box plots. To do this, I draw a box plot on the board and go through the vocabulary one location at a time. I call on students to offer as many different ways to refer to the same location as possible.
Resources (1)
Students work on both tasks on the Stats_Box_Plot handout collaboratively with a partner. I encourage students to talk out the answers they are going to record on paper. I say, "discuss the analysis questions with your partner before writing anything to ensure that it sounds smart." I use this term frequently to try to raise the level of discourse and writing in my classroom. Many students will write analyses that are very surface level. By pushing them to become more analytical and descriptive, I think I can help my students to think and to understand more deeply.
When describing statistical graphs, students can use an "I noticed that _________________ because _________________" sentence structure to record their idea. I provide a template for them to think with because it helps students to frame their thinking. It is important to continually remind students to back up their observations with evidence.
Resources (1)
The ticket out the door is on Page 4 of Box_Plot_Day3. I will ask students to choose one of the two statements to speak to. They will answer this question individually and submit their answer to me at the end of the class. By judging the level of sophistication in what students are explaining or questioning, I can get a good sense of the level of understanding that the students have.

Does Superior Conditioning Translate to 4th Quarter Scoring?
Does Superior Conditioning Translate to 4th Quarter Scoring?
This is my first diary, so I apologize in advance if my images do not embed properly, I'm still figuring this out......
There has been a lot of discussion regarding Michigan's strength and conditioning program, with many drawing the conclusion that the superior conditioning of Michigan's football team will result in wearing down teams through three quarters, and dominating a tired opponent in the fourth for a win. I did a little searching in an attempt to find out if there are any historical statistics from teams coached by Rodriguez and conditioned by Barwis to support this belief. Mike Barwis has been the head strength and conditioning coach for Rich Rod since 2003 at West Virginia, so I did the analysis on all of their games since 2003. Since there is no statistic to measure overall conditioning I used points scored or allowed as an indicator, since what I really want to know is whether conditioning or lack thereof translates to points (and wins). I know there are multiple problems with this, e.g. last year's inability to execute the offense doesn't necessarily have anything to do with effort or conditioning, but I hope that by looking over several years of data, I will be able to draw some solid conclusions.
I looked at the quarter by quarter scoring for all of the games from 2003 to present. First I'll give you the average quarter by quarter scoring for offense and points allowed for defense (including WVU's 2007 bowl game which wasn't actually coached by Rodriguez).
Not sure what the proper test for determining statistical significance is here, but the eyeball test says you probably shouldn't count on the offense to score more points in the 4th versus quarters 1-3. As for the defense, you can probably expect them to give up slightly more points in the 4th quarter, at least as compared to quarters one and three (caveat: defensive data compiled under tenure of multiple defensive coordinators while assuming Rich Rod was in control of the offense in each year examined). This obviously doesn't give the full picture, as play calling, personnel, etc. will be dictated by the circumstances of each game. So, to crunch the numbers further, I looked at the 46 games in which the teams were within 16 points of each other after 3 periods. I realize this cutoff is somewhat arbitrary, but it seems reasonable to me that if a team is up or down more than two touchdowns and two 2 point conversions with 15 minutes to go, play calling and strategy may be start to change, which would confound the results of this analysis. Nonetheless, in these situations Rich Rod is 26-20 and on average outscores the opponent by ~1.2 points in the final quarter. I know this crowd is big on charts, but a graph is a bit more useful for this particular analysis.

Here is a link in case that didn't work: http://yfrog.com/5dq3scorevsfinalscoret
Again, this is only games that were within sixteen points after 3 quarters. The abscissa is the point differential after 3 quarters ((WVU or M) – opponent), thus negative numbers mean Rodriguez's team was trailing and positive numbers mean they were winning. The ordinate is point differential of the final score ((WVU or M) – opponent), so a negative value means a loss and a positive number means a win. Based on this, it looks like the third quarter score is a pretty good predictor of whether the team will win or lose the game. I am surprised by how well this holds up even for small 3rd quarter point differentials (between -7 and 7). I know it is a relatively small sample size and all that, but still. One encouraging point of note is that when leading, even by a small margin (<7), Rodriguez's team usually comes out on top. Look at all the data points with a 3rd quarter lead of 1-5 points. He lost one game. That makes me smile inside. On a side note, if I include all of the games, not just the ones within 16 points after 3 quarters, the results are basically identical. However there was one pretty big comeback in the WVU days against Louisville. Down 17 points after 3 quarters, WVU rallied to win by 2 in overtime.
*Overtime points were included as 4th quarter points.
The idea that Michigan will completely own teams in the 4th quarter is probably not true. If the historical data is a valid indicator of what we can expect, in terms of points scored and allowed Michigan will perform in the final quarter pretty much the same as through the other three. Actually, the biggest differential between points scored and allowed is in the first quarter. I am not sure why there is a noticeable jump in points allowed in quarters 2 and 4. My first guess was that it was due to increased risky play calling during the 2 minute drill near the ends of each half. However, if this were true, I would also expect to see an increase in offensive points scored.
The score at the end of the 3rd quarter is a pretty solid indicator of game outcome. If Michigan is up at the end of 3, even by a little, we will likely come away with a win. Unfortunately the reverse also holds true, with Rodriguez only having two comeback wins (one of which was the 2008 Wisconsin game).
I think Michigan has a bright future under Coach Rodriguez. I think we can expect some exciting football and a lot of wins. I'm just not convinced said wins will come courtesy of the superior conditioning theory. In the end, as long as Michigan is piling up the W's I don't think any of us care in which quarter they score the points.
Bonus Tidbit
While doing research I came across this: When Morgan Trent was asked "What's the craziest thing about Wolverines strength coach Mike Barwis?," Trent replied "That he's a former MMA fighter and can kill any one of us if he wanted to with one punch."
Which got me to thinking, who would win if Mike Barwis and Chuck Norris got in a fight? I thought about it for a while and my head started to hurt. So I decided that some sort of black hole, kung-fu vortex would probably open up and suck us all in. We would never know who actually won; therefore it is an unanswerable question.

2016 for Other Signs:
Aries 2016 Love Horoscope
It might feel like a chaotic year when it comes to your love life in 2016, Aries. Mars is in your intimacy sector in January and February, so you start the year very focused on your relationships and improving the intimacy in your life. A lunar eclipse occurs in your relationship sector on March 23rd that can bring the culmination of a relationship, and you take it to the next level or walk away. Then Mars will re-enter your intimacy sector in retrograde (appearing to move backward) for the month of June, and you can feel like you don't have any of the intimacy you want at all. You can be more clingy, too demanding, and feel unsatisfied. Mars is direct in your intimacy sector in July, back to usual motion, and you can start putting things back together then.
Jupiter enters your relationship sector in September, and you finish out the year with good relationship energy on your side. You can feel better about existing relationships, create new relationships that benefit you in new ways, and feel better with a partner. If single, you can find it easier to find someone to commit. If in a relationship, you want to commit even more.
Aries 2016 Career Horoscope
Jupiter is in your work sector until September, making it easier for you to get more work done, have work opportunities, and improve your working environment. A solar eclipse on September 1st occurs in your work sector, which helps brings a surge of good energy to your work life, and can throw an opportunity your way. Pluto remains in your career sector all year, helping you to create powerful goals, attract powerful people, and transform the idea of what you want.
The monkey wrench for 2016? Mercury retrogrades in January in your career sector, in May in your money sector, in September in your work sector, and in December in your career sector, so those Mercury retrogrades can put a wrinkle in your plans. You have to be willing to make adjustments, go with the flow, and not be so rigid. These retrogrades want you to make sure that you know what you want, and that you're covering all of your bases. This is a fantastic year for going back to a career you used to be in or getting a second chance at an old job.
Aries 2016 Home and Family Horoscope
Pluto is in the sector ruling your parents all year, and you continue to transform the relationship you have with them. There can be struggles over power and control at times, but they're not altogether unusual. Mars is in this sector October through early November, and you can focus more on your parents, want to spend more time with them, or concentrate on the mentors and elders in you life. Mercury will retrograde in this sector in January and the second half of December, so you may start and end the year having to deal with issues with your parents. Try to be understanding with them, listen to them, and make sure they know they're being heard.
Aries 2016 Mental State Horoscope
Neptune remains in the sector ruling your subconscious mind all year, and you feel in touch with your subconscious in subtle ways. You put more energy and focus on subconscious issues during the second half of December with Mars in this sector, and you want to tackle old issues, let go of baggage, and face the past. A solar eclipse occurs in this sector March 8th that can be the start of you working on issues, and a lunar eclipse occurs in this sector September 16th that can signal the end and a true letting go. You feel much better when you do.
Saturn remains in a happy sector for you, which actually tamps down your optimistic side a little bit. You're normally a very optimistic sign, but now, you're trying to be more realistic. Mars will be in a serious sector for you in January and February, bringing your mood down a little, and enters the same sector as Saturn in March and perk you up. Mars turns retrograde in this sector mid-April, and you can struggle with balancing your optimistic and realistic sides, becoming more pessimistic in June. You try to be more realistic in July, and more optimistic in August and September.

Aries 2016 General Horoscope
Uranus remains in your sign all year, and continues to bring changes in the lives of Aries. You want the change, but it can be a lot sometimes, and you don't always do your homework first. You need to make sure you think first before you jump to action to avoid difficulties. You're also more willing to embrace your individuality and eccentricities with Uranus in your sign, and this is really obvious when Mars is in the sector Uranus naturally rules in November through mid-December. You feel it's important for you to be you, and for you to stand out from the crowd. It can also be a good time to contribute to the world in a big way.
Mars, your ruler, turns retrograde in 2016, from mid-April through June, and you can feel a bit off in subtle ways during that time. When your ruler is retrograde, it leaves you feeling a little off of your game, and it can feel like nothing seems to go the way you thought it would. Try not to let your temper get the better of you. Use the retrograde energy and create opportunities for doing things over again and getting second chances.

You may need to go back over something you missed with a goal you thought you had finished and were done with. Don't let your frustration show. Suck it up and do it over again. We all have these moments, and the best thing you can do is figure out what went wrong and prevent it from happening again in the future. Live and learn, and move on smarter than you were before.
Think about making a big transformation in your life this month. You have the energy and drive to do so, you feel it stronger, and you feel now is the right time. No one can stand in your way no matter how much they try, and you can use your will and determination to come back from anything. Inject new life into your life with a transformation, and bring opportunities to you.
You can feel like you need to focus more on others this month, and when you make sacrifices without expecting anything in return, you can create opportunities for yourself and improve your relationships. You want stronger relationships, and you're willing to walk away if things aren't working for either of you. It might have troubled you to walk away in the past, but you're comfortable with it now.
You may find yourself starting to feel really off this month. It's a subtle feeling that creeps in slowly as the month goes on, and grows more and more. Little things seem to go wrong constantly, you keep snapping, and you're too defensive. Stop identifying so much with what you believe, check your ego at the door, and spend more time listening and being patient.

You need to spend some time this month focusing on things you hold deep inside of yourself and facing things you may have avoided in the past. It's not always pleasant, but it is necessary for you to deal with it, let go, and move on. It weighs on you, holds you back, keeps you down, and prevents you from finding true joy. You don't need to keep living that way anymore.
Keep an eye on your finances this month. Make sure you pay special attention to every penny, and avoid big purchases and spending on a whim. Practice complete financial responsibility and you'll be glad you did later when you're in a good financial position going forward. Review your budget, revise financial arrangements, and repay whatever you owe.
You can slowly feel like your life is getting back on the right track this month. You may feel out of it the previous few months, but life starts to go in forward motion again in July. You can find your rhythm, get your groove back, and end the month with greater momentum. Your confidence returns, your excitement for life, your drive and energy, and you're ready to go.
Work on expanding your life in new ways in August. You have a good outlook, you're excited by all of the possibilities in your life for new experiences, and you believe that if you do something bold, good things will happen. Let your optimism carry you, and your passion for everything you do get you further. Explore and see what you can find.

You may not have the best work ethic this month, and feel like shaking things up in your daily life and routine. You're just not satisfied with leaving things as they are, and feel like something needs to change now. It might not be the best time to change anything, at least not permanently, so don't count on that. Try to be more open to smaller changes.
You can be extra ambitious this month, wanting to have some success and reach at least one of your goals. You can work hard for what you want, meet powerful people in powerful positions, and are realistic about what you can do and achieve. You find what you need to succeed and go for it. Just make sure you pay attention to the other parts of your life too.
If you feel like stepping outside of your comfort zone, November is a good month to do it. You feel more comfortable going against social norms and being true to who you are, regardless of what other people think. You can benefit from support from your friends, and your relationships in general seem better as you're more pleasant and easy to be around.
You can focus on your future early in the month, what you hope for and dream about, but can question your direction later in the month. A purging may be necessary, or facing something you need to let go of, and this causes the doubt. Once you deal with it, you can be confident in your direction, your choices, and your abilities, and move on.
Aries 2016 Yearly Tarotscope
Aries: Fighting, Understanding, and Thunderbolt
Life might feel like it's not on solid ground, and you're unsure of yourself and what to do. Let it go and just go with it. Let the craziness happen and just ebb and flow. You might find yourself getting into more fights with others if you don't but it's only because you don't want to face what's happening or allow yourself to feel the pain or sadness or grief. Stop fighting others or life or yourself, let yourself feel whatever it is you don't want to, and the shaky ground will stop shaking. You'll come to an understanding of something that you never would've understood otherwise, and emerge stronger, wiser, and more powerful than ever.

Now we want spoiled the entire video for you, but we will give you the highlighted points as offered by Google on the evolution of Search and what to expect in the future:
- Universal Results: With Universal Search—which returns results like images, videos, and news, in addition to webpages—we're helping you find all different kinds of information in the same place. We've continued to make search more comprehensive, enabling you to find products, places, patents, books, maps and more.
- Quick Answers: Today on Google you'll find more than just a list of links to websites. You'll find Quick Answers at the top of the page for a wide variety of topics, including flight times, sports scores, weather and dozens more. As our technology gets better, we're beginning to answer harder questions for you, right on the search results page.
- The Future of Search: We've also been focused on developing faster ways to search and save time, whether we're shaving seconds off searches with Google Instant or helping you search from your phone with Voice Search. Searching should be as easy as thinking, and the future looks bright!
Pretty cool to say the least. So head on down and check out the video and timeline, then let us know what you think!

SWF TEST Solar Pond Tower
Coastal Solar Chimneys invented by David Daudrich
Seafront Solar Chimneys
David Daudrich a German scientist, published a book titled "Der tropische Wirbelsturm und das Wirbelkraftwerk" - "Tropical Cyclones and the Cyclone Power Station" First Minute Pocket books, ISBN 978-3-932805-53-0. Only in German.
Daudrich investigates and describes in some detail the vortex mechanism of tropical storms, and how that mechanism could be copied in constructing a power station to make use of the natural mechanisms at work in those storms. He proposes a similar design as envisioned by Enviro Mission, but there are two important differences.
from http://www.evert.de/eft611e.htm by Alfred Evert
According to Daudrich, water vapor is an essential component of hurricanes and other tropical cyclones: the more the air can be saturated with water vapor the lighter it will be and the easier it will rise and create the necessary draft inside the chimney. He therefore proposes to locate the power plant near a coastline where sea water is abundantly available. Water is also a highly efficient heat collector and storage medium.
The water should be warmed up and then be exposed to the incoming air stream in a 'counter-flow' cascade, i.e. the warm water close to the center of the collector and the cooler water towards the outer perimeter. Warm water will also solve the problem of heat storage for night-time function of the generator. The sun should do the necessary warming if an above-ground black pipeline is used for transport.
The chimney itself need not be excessively tall, according to Daudrich, and should flare out at the top, as a circulation will be established where the air released at the top sinks to the ground after expanding outwards and can then be re-cycled through the generator, mimicking the natural hurricane dynamics.
In addition to producing electricity, the Daudrich design would also produce an abundant supply of clean de-salinated water for local use as well as rain clouds that might bring precipitation in a wider circle around the power station.

Quebec Conservative Sen. Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu, already under scrutiny for his $20,000 in housing expenses, is facing more controversy after it was revealed he had been in a romantic relationship with one of his Parliament Hill employees.
Boisvenu, 64, was dating his executive assistant Isabelle Lapointe, La Presse reports. The Montreal-based newspaper says that such a relationship goes against the ethical rules of the Senate.
"It's inappropriate to have a personal relationship with someone who is also your employee. It's not normal, either in the House of Commons or in the Senate," interim Liberal leader Bob Rae told reporters Tuesday.
However, as the report made the rounds on Parliament Hill, Boisvenu's current relationship with Lapointe has grown murkier.
Senate colleagues have told the CBC that the pair have broken up. However, some said Lapointe was no longer working for Boisvenu, while others said she still is.
Lapointe, as of early Wednesday evening, was still listed as a contact for Boisvenu on his website. Facebook pages for the pair, both with pictures available to the public, appear to have been taken down or set to private sometime Wednesday afternoon.
Lapointe had a picture of her and Boievenu from less than a month ago on her profile.
Lapointe, a former airport criminal analyst, was hired by Boisvenu in August 2010. She also covers communications for his office.
Le Devoir reports the Conservatives were informed of the relationship about a year ago, shortly before his separation from his wife.
NDP Leader Tom Mulcair was asked about Boisvenu's relationship Wednesday but said he could not comment.
Boisvenu has been under fire since it was reported he claimed $20,000 in housing expenses for his primary residence in Sherbrooke, Que., even though he has been living at his secondary residence in Gatineau, Que., since separating from his wife in February 2012.
La Presse reports his ex, Diane Carlos, lives in the Sherbrooke condo while they are negotiating a separation agreement.
Boisvenu told The Canadian Press he was in compliance with the Senate guidelines in regards to the housing expenses.
"I provided all the documents that show that my primary residence is in Sherbrooke and my secondary residence is here (in Gatineau)," he said by phone Sunday.
"When the divorce is made official I'll have a decision to make."
He said the issue was a private matter and he regularly returns home to Sherbrooke to meet with his divorce lawyer.
Boisvenu has been cleared of any wrongdoing by the Senate Standing Committee on Internal Economy as his expenses were not forwarded to external auditors.
Four Senators are having their expenses audited including Conservatives Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin, Independent Senator Patrick Brazeau and Liberal Senator Mac Harb.
Boisvenu was appointed to the Senate by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in 2010. He is a well-known victim's right advocate who founded the Murdered or Missing Persons' Families' Association after his daughter Julie was kidnapped, raped and murdered in 2002 by a convicted sex offender.
Neither Lapointe or Boisvenu immediately responded to the National Post's request for comment.

NBA basketball player Glen "Big Baby" Davis was fined by the Orlando Magic on Wednesday after he apologized on Tuesday for ripping out a keyboard and throwing it across a Travelodge hotel in an early morning tantrum. Davis was upset after there were no vacancies last Saturday morning.
As the Daily Mail noted, "security cameras caught the moment" when Davis "reached across the reception desk and ripped out a computer keyboard, before throwing it across the room."
On Twitter, Davis apologized, writing, "There is no excuse for what I did … I was obviously wrong and I take full responsibility."
Davis, who played for LSU in college, now plays for the Orlando Magic.

Taylor Swift's 'Red' Easily Tops Billboard 200
Kendrick Lamar's 'Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City' debuts at No. 2 and Jason Aldean's 'Night Train' drops down to No.3.
As earlier reported, Taylor Swift's Red album explodes at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, selling 1.2 million copies in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It's the largest sales week for an album since 2002, when Eminem's The Eminem Show sold 1.3 million in its first full week at No. 1.
Red is only the 18th album to sell 1 million units in a single week since SoundScan started tracking sales in 1991.
Settling for a No. 2 debut on the chart this week is Kendrick Lamar's Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City, starting with 241,000. The Top Dawg/Aftermath/Interscope set is Lamar's major-label bow, after earlier charting with his Top Dawg indie release Section.80. The last male artist to start with a bigger sales figure with his first major-label full-length set was Drake, when Thank Me Later launched with 447,000 in June 2010.
Lamar also hits No. 1 on both the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Rap Albums charts.
Last week's No. 1 on the Billboard 200, Jason Aldean's Night Train, chugs down to No. 3 with 116,000 (down 72%). Another previous No. 1, Mumford & Sons' Babel, dips 2-4 with 53,000 (down 27%).
Pop icon Tony Bennett steps into the top 10 with another duets album, this time pairing himself with an array of Latin music stars. His Viva Duets release starts at No. 5 with 36,000, following the top five success of Duets: An American Classic (No. 3, 2006) and Duets II (No. 1, 2011).
Guitarist/singer Gary Clark Jr. makes a smashing debut at No. 6 with his first major-label studio album, Blak & Blu, selling 35,000 copies. The Warner Bros. set also hits No. 1 on the Blues Albums chart and follows his EP The Bright Lights, which has moved 82,000 to date. It reached No. 91 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on Blues Albums.
Rock band Stone Sour earns its third top 10 album on the Billboard 200 as House of Gold & Bones - Part 1 starts at No. 7 with 31,000. It follows 2010's Audio Secrecy, which debuted and peaked at No. 6 with 46,000.
P!nk's The Truth About Love slides 6-8 with 25,000 (down 19%) while Lady Antebellum collects its fourth top 10 set with the No. 9 arrival of On This Winter's Night (nearly 25,000). The 12-song album contains the six tracks Lady A released on its 2010 Target-exclusive EP A Merry Little Christmas. Unlike "Merry," the new set is widely available.

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a security architecture that provides comprehensive security solutions for data in terms of authentication, privacy/confidentiality, integrity and non-repudiation. In realizing the need for secured data communications by Nigerians globally in all electronic transactions, NITDA decided to set up the National Public Key Infrastructure in Nigeria.
A Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) supports the distribution and identification of public encryption keys, enabling users and computers to both securely exchange data over networks such as the Internet and verify the identity of the party. Without PKI, sensitive information can still be encrypted (ensuring confidentiality) and exchanged, but there would be no assurance of the identity (authentication) of the other party. Any form of sensitive data exchanged over the internet is reliant on PKI for security.
The objective of a PKI is to create trust across two parties on exchange of data over Networks such as the Internet. A PKI includes the following key elements:
- A trusted party, called a Certificate Authority (CA), acts as the root of trust which is in this case (NITDA) and provides services that authenticate the identity of individuals, computers and other entities.
- A Registration Authority, often called a subordinate CA, certified by a root CA to issue certificates for specific uses permitted by the Root Authority.
- A certificate Database, which stores certificates requests and issues and revokes certificates.
- A certificate store, which resides on a local computer as a place to store issued certificates and Public keys.
NITDA'S Public Key Infrastructure Project for Nigeria has covered all these key elements and it's take off stage will be in the third (3rd) quarter of year 2016

Founder of popular photo community FotoKritik.com', which was acquired by Nokta A.Ş., Ozan Hazer is working intensively for his new initiative these days. He has carried out his initiative with Batur Orkun, his workmate at Bilkent University. This initiative provides a service making it easier for companies to make online surveys and polls. Ozan Hazer, who is getting ready to become Turkey's PollDaddy, gave us detailed information on this new initiative, JetAnket.com.
JetAnket targeted Turkish market at first, but in the future, it will be providing its services globally. The service can be used within certain limits free, and when paid, it offers some advanced options for professional use.
JetAnket offers simple and easy use with its interfaces, and it has caught our attention with its advanced survey options. JetAnket, which I believe is a valuable piece of work in the sense of the important features of its survey editor and technology, has a team that its team proved its availability, JavaScript and DHTML capacity.
For those who do not know, one of the partners of this project, Batur Orkun is the author of "JavaScript, DHTML and CSS for Web Designers" and he was assigned in several global open source projects.
Offering detailed features on creating surveys, JetAnket has considered the fact that distributing a survey and finding the participants for it are as important as creating a survey and this service offers alternative options for particularly sharing.
Users can add the surveys and polls they create on JetAnket their websites and send them easily to their mailing lists. Also, the system is integrated with Facebook, which is another feature that makes sharing easier. Facebook integration, facilitating the sharing was included in the system as another feature. In the following periods the initiative will be highly focused in Facebook.
JetAnket aims to provide high-level reporting facilities and scientific results to its users; therefore, it plans to add advanced statistical tools such as SPSS to the service over time. In addition, document support will be added to the system in order to support scientific approaches in the process of creating new surveys in the coming period.
If you want to try JetAnket in the beta phase, you can create your surveys with up to 100 responses and 10 questions free, and have a look at higher level options offered in monthly fee packages.

I've only ever blogged about when to stop watching a series, so I thought I'd bring the positivity today and suggest some series to start watching. Just in case anyone is bored, can't sleep, or is on bed-rest (which is HORRIFIC for those of you who haven't experienced it.)
Black Mirror – depressing future world, blah, blah. But I didn't have a book handy and I wasn't sleepy, so I started it. Each episode is a completely different future. If it were a book it would be a page-turner! (BTW, don't bother to correct my grammar. "If it were" is the past imperfect tense. Only 9% of English speakers use it. It's much more commonly used in Spanish.)
Stranger Things – I paused this about thirty seconds in to see if Stephen King had suddenly decided to do script-writing. The font of the title is even Stephen King's. And yes, I do realize how weird it is that I can recognize his font. I'm okay with that. The whole series could have come straight out of one of his novels. And I don't mean one of his many books that have been turned into pale, poorly cast imitations of variations upon his movies, either. When I saw him (yes, saw him in person in the middle of a raging thunderstorm *insert smug smile and hair flip*) he made it clear he doesn't have any interest in the movies made from his books. In his own words, "There's one movie I will always think of when I hear the name Tim Curry, and it's not 'It'!" Yes, I stood and cheered at that comment. But the brothers who did this series are clearly huge fans. Just watch it.
Santa Clarita Diet – I'm not a Drew Barrymore fan. Honestly, I haven't been impressed with anything she's done since E.T. So I was surprised by how much I enjoyed her acting in this series. I know, the premise sounds stupid, but how would your family react if you suddenly started craving human flesh? She and her husband are realtors, which I think is brilliant. I truly can't watch some of the shows on HGTV anymore because I imagine them munching on feet between takes. (Flip or Flop? Seriously? There's no other possible reason they're still on TV other than that their producers are afraid of being eaten.)
Lost Girl – This one had a long time between seasons, so when the fifth season came out I watched the first four seasons again first to catch up. I'm glad I did, since I'd forgotten a lot. It's got true BFFs, a love triangle, the supernatural, and just enough action/adventure. It's more about the mystery and the magical creatures, but there are some political maneuverings thrown in. The costume department is heavy on black leather and high heels, and their eyeliner person probably has to be replaced each year due to carpal tunnel, but it's fun!
Grace and Frankie – With this all-star cast you'd expect something serious and meaningful. We're talking Jane Fonda, Martin Sheen, Lily Tomlin, and Sam Waterston. And the supporting actors are no slouches, either! Instead, we get comedy and unexpected friendships. A new season was just released, and I will totally binge-watch the whole thing in a couple of days. It's that good.
Glitch – Do you love hearing an Australian accent? Think zombies are a cool concept? You'll love this – watch ASAP!
No Filter – Oopsie – this isn't a series, it's a movie. But it resounded with me so completely that I added it to my list of recommendations. Here's how Wikipedia describes it: "When a woman visits a Chinese doctor, she discovers her pain is due to pent-up rage, and the only cure is to fully express herself, whatever may come." Yeah, sound like anyone you know? If only my behavior in recent months had decreased my pain 🙁

In either role Emma is strategically and creatively stellar. She says what she means and she means what she says which makes for an ideal business relationship. In addition when Emma and Lydia …
