Today is Friday and although it is Friday 13th today has been a good day. I have now lost 2 stone 4 lbs and am thrilled with it. I am sitting with my (naughty) glass of wine and have a weekend ahead. Good.
It is 1 week to the wedding. This weekend I am getting my hair done and need to clean the house, draw up a shopping list and make sure I know what I am doing.
Very sadly the owner of the hotel, Court Colman, died last week. He was a charming man and was one of the reasons for chosing the hotel. It is very sad. He had been at an awards ceremony the night before where the restaurant won the best Indian restaurant award for the second year in a row, and died in his sleep. Very sad.
We are having rain, more rain, wind and more wind this weekend, so I hope it doesn't last till next weekend - we would really like it to be dry!! Here are crossed fingers.
Brian gave me a tripod for my birthday which I have yet to use, so I need to think about going out and using it to take some pictures. Possibly one of next year's resolutions. This blog was one of this year's and I have kept it up, not every day, but it is still going.

I for one am glad you kept the blog up, I've quite enjoyed it.
Your list of good things in the last post was great...as much because it nudged me into finally opening one of the Terry Pratchets that you brought. It's GREAT! I took it to the hospital yesterday figuring that a really good story was what I would need...and one that was not of this world would be good.
It was, thanks.

If you are a travel freak, you truly understand that outdoor travel is a great way to get close to nature and away from the civilization. But what do you do when you return from a great trip?
Share pictures on social media? Is that all?
Well, would you believe me, if I tell you that I go live with other adventure freaks to talk about my trip and listen to theirs?
Yes, through an application called OD Life (Official Website: http://outdoorlife4fun.com/) which lets people share their outdoor experiences with the people of similar taste.
This is indeed a great app and you get to know a lot by conversing with people online. For an instance, the last time I was talking to somebody via the app, I learned that a lot of people damage the nature while they visit the physical beauties around the world.
We talked about the ways which could make our trips eco-friendly. Here I have compiled a few of these great tips for you:
Neglect using any electronic device
When you decide to go for camping the main motive is to embrace a simple way of living. So, it is recommended to avoid carrying anything that needs batteries.
It is obvious that you would be needing a flashlight, so the perfect option is to get a thing that can be powered by shaking. Solar-powered lanterns are a great option here, which can be recharged during the daytime and used at night.
This way you won't drop your used batteries here and there which otherwise leads to land pollution as the batteries are not decomposable.
Take proper care of the things you carry along
The reusable crockery is heavier and less convenient as compared to the disposable ones, but disposable ones add to your waste production. What you can do is, try carrying paper plates instead of plastic or thermocol plates as they are non-biodegradable.
It is also recommended to use biodegradable toiletries, as they are a great alternative to the harsh chemical products which are considered to be harmful to the environment.
Watch your transport
If you travel by car for hours to reach your destination, it will produce carbon emissions which will again affect the natural world. So, it is always preferable to select a camping location near your home which involves a shorter distance to travel if you are traveling by car.
However, if you are going for a long trip to another state or country, make use of the public transport to contribute to a greener environment.
Select the correct place to pitch your tent
Always prefer pitching your tent on gravel rather than pitching on soft grass land because it will have less impact on the environment. It is also recommended to avoid camping on the banks, as they are fragile ecosystems.
So, in this way you can enjoy your camping without damaging your environment. You can also share your outdoor experiences with other people online which is a great way to learn more exciting adventure tips and cheats.Top

Also celebrating her birthday in June is little squishy cheeks right here, who despite my best efforts in telling her to stop growing, is now two years old.
Happy birthday sweetheart, but also this is entirely unacceptable.
How did it happen? Clearly this baby needs to work on her instruction-following skills. Right now, I'd rate it a 2/10 if I'm being optimistic. It's like she's not even trying.
I would be a lot sadder about this development but as it turns out, two years old happens to be my favourite age so I'm reluctantly allowing it while strongly registering my disapproval – all this growing business is to be halted immediately.
Two year old Hayley is a dream and I can't get enough of this baby. She's sweet and adorable and feisty and funny and perfect in every way.
As an infant, her cuteness level was very high, but I had to pay the price (in the form of sleepless nights and exhaustion and long-suffering) in order to get to the good parts. Remember those days? I do.
But right now, it's all just good parts and I'm enjoying this phase immensely.
She's all talky talk non stop these days, which is the cutest thing. For the record, I'm all down for babies learning to use words because it's been a huge turning point in our relationship. I tried watching those youtube videos on deciphering babies' cries (THEY ALL SOUND THE SAME!!) but I always had difficulty understanding her very loud and angry high pitched screams. And now that she's using words that I understand? Yes please!
Like when she's tired, she announces "I'm very tired, I need to sleep" and I bring her to bed and she sleeps and problem solved. When she wants a snack, she asks for it and I fix her a snack. When she wants some momma lovin', she yells "KISS ME, MOM!!" and grabs my face for a kiss and I cannot even.
Maybe its all that interaction with her siblings, but she's got a wonderful sense of humour. She saw Theo trip and fall the other day and started laughing really hard and I was like "Hey, don't laugh at your brother, falling down is not funny!" and she retorted back with "It's a bit funny" and okay fair enough, it is a bit funny. Just make sure they're fine before laughing.
She adores all of them though. Her favourite thing in the world is just to follow them around and be part of their madness. She's finally big enough to get in on all the action and she's terribly pleased about it.
One of the benefits of being the baby around here is that she's got everyone wrapped around her tiny little finger and she knows it. She makes her 3 brothers take turns giving her unicorn rides (on their backs) and bouncy castle rides (on their tummies) and airplane rides (on their feet). Whenever she's bored, she saunters up to one of them and says, "kor kor Finn, I want sit bouncy castle!!" and he will be like "ok sure!"
If it so happens that Finn is busy and replies with "later ok baby? kor kor is reading a book," she turns on her bambi eyes and says "Pleeeease?? Just small tiny one?" and immediately, her brother will be all ""aarrgghh, ok fine fine come sit here on my tum tum…"
Sometimes I think about how close we were to not having this baby and I'm so glad that we did the crazy thing and went for baby #5. :)

Robot cars get ready to roll
cheap moncler When the first cars moncler chicago hit British roads in the late 19th Century, cheap moncler coats for women they had an unusual safety feature. Every carriage as they were known, was chaperoned by a man walking in front waving a red flag or carrying a lantern, to warn other road users of the vehicle's approach. There was a certain reassurance, it seems, from having a human present, even if done in such a preposterous way.
These early precautions known the flag laws seem laughable now. But future generations may look at the safety measures that are imposed on self driving or robotic cars in much the same way.
On the rare occasions these autonomous cheap moncler jackets vehicles are allowed out in public they are usually chaperoned moncler coats for women by a human who sits in the seat ready to take control if something goes wrong. But the nascent industry developing these cars moncler outlet uk believes this kind of insurance policy will soon go the same way as red flags.
cheap moncler outlet In the US, laws are already being debated, and approved, to allow the vehicles to drive themselves on regular roads. In the US state of Nevada, for example, the government has begun to draft a set of regulations that cheap moncler jackets outlet will allow these vehicles on its roads. One of the proposals is for robotic cars to be identified by red license plates.
Developments like moncler outlets usa this show that it is a question of when not if robotic vehicles hit our roads. And with good reason. Proponents say self driving cars will save time, fuel, cut traffic jams and prevent some cheap moncler of the estimated 1.2m deaths that occur globally every year due to car accidents.
moncler outlet is definitely the number one benefit, says Sven Beiker, the executive director of the Center for Automotive Research moncler jackets men at Stanford University. 95% of accidents, human error is at least a contributing factor. A self driving car on cheap moncler jackets wholesale the other hand cannot become distracted, take a phone call, fall asleep, or drive under the influence of alcohol.
Laser vision
As a result, manufacturers such as Ford have announced that autonomous vehicles are the future. Bill Ford, executive chairman of the Ford Motor Company, recently said that the company sees introduction of semi autonomous driving technology, including driver initiated pilot capabilities, and vehicle platooning in limited situations as discount moncler outlet early as 2017.
In the moncler coats for kids longer term, from 2025 onwards he believes we will see the of smart vehicles capable of fully autonomous moncler outlet ny navigation, with increased pilot operating moncler coats for cheap duration, plus the arrival of autonomous valet functions, delivering effortless vehicle parking and storage."
And it is not just Ford who believes in this future. Car manufacturers from GM, BMW, Audi and Volvo are all working on systems that promise to allow drivers to take their hands off https://www.moncleroutletsite.com the wheel. But it is a project by the search giant moncler jackets Google, that has captured people attention.
moncler outlet online The firm which revealed details of its driverless moncler jackets outlet online car project in 2010 has clocked moncler outlet canada up hundreds of thousands of miles in a fleet of seven vehicles including a Toyota Prius and an Audi TT. It is moncler jackets toronto the evolution of a technology that really came to public consciousness in the 2004 Darpa Grand Challenge, a US military competition that saw moncler jackets outlet robotic cars compete along moncler coats for men a desert course. In the first race, none of the cars were able to complete the course. But one year later a car called Stanley, developed by Sebastian Thrun from Stanford University, romped home to claim a $2m prize for completing a 130 mile (210km) course in less than seven hours.
Thrun now leads Google efforts, and is pushing the technology far beyond that seen in 2005. To get a sense of how far it has evolved, you only need to watch a video that was recently posted by the firm. It starts in a relatively innocuous way: a moncler coats middle aged man walks out of a house, and towards the driver side of a blue car. He gets in and then confidently pulls out into the street. And that is when things start to get unusual. The man is Steve Mahan, and he is blind. percent of my vision is gone. I well past legally blind, he explains.
During the course of the moncler outlet usa three minute film the car drives through a residential area, obeying road signs. It pulls into a drive through restaurant and up to a dry cleaners, where Mr Mahan uses a white cane to walk into the shop. At no point in the video is he seen to touch the steering wheel.
moncler mens jackets The car works by combining inputs from a number of different sensors to build up a picture of its environment. At the heart of the system is a spinning laser range finder, known as a Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging). Mounted on the roof of the car, these fire a series of rapid pulses of laser light and measures the reflections to build up a detailed 360 degree picture of surrounding objects up to 60m (200ft) away.
This moncler outlet woodbury is buy moncler jackets toronto then combined with a series of other inputs. For example, a video camera inside the car, mounted at the top of the windscreen helps to detect objects in more detail. It can spot traffic lights, as well as fast moving things like pedestrians or cyclists. It also has four radar sensors, three in the front and one on the back.
cheap moncler coats A GPS and inertial measurement unit is also used to figure out its compass heading, whilst a sensor on the left rear wheel helps keep track of small movements of the car. Four radars, mounted on the front and rear bumpers, allow the car to "see" other traffic. All of these inputs are then combined with a detailed map stored on an onboard computer, to keep track of the car exact position.
moncler outlet sale The map is crucial and is created by training the car. Google says that before the robot car tackles any road, the team first drive the route themselves using similar equipment to create a detailed, digital map of all of the features of the road. By mapping things like lane markers and traffic signs, the software in the car becomes familiar with the environment and its characteristics in advance. When they then want to drive that route autonomously, the car compares data coming in from its sensors with the previously recorded set. The sensors are used to help figure out moncler outlet uk where other cars are, how fast they are moving and the position of any unexpected objects for instance, pedestrians stepping out into the road.
moncler sale outlet This allows the car to navigate and drive in a tame environment. But the real world is messy and dominated by subtle human behaviours. As a result, its developers have programmed it with other traits which allow it to compete in the real world. For example, at a four way crossing, the car follows the rules of the road. However, if this does not moncler jackets cheap work because other drivers do not follow moncler outlet online the rules, the car may edge forward to signal its intention to other drivers.
cheap moncler sale Master and slave
moncler sale Impressive as the Google technology is, it is unlikely that it will be introduced overnight.
moncler outlet store think features discount moncler jackets will creep in incrementally, and then one day the vehicle will actually be moncler jackets kids driving itself. It sounds like a revolution now, but it will actually happen very organically and very naturally, says Raj Rajkumar, professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Melon University part of the team that designed the vehicle that won the Darpa Urban Challenge a follow up to the original Grand Challenge event.
buy moncler jackets Already, autonomous features such as adaptive cruise control, self parking and hazard moncler outlet mall awareness cameras are becoming increasingly common features on cars. The next step may be semi autonomous technology, such as that developed by a European project called Satre (Safe Road Trains for the Environment).
This project aims to design and build technology that allows moncler outlets uk vehicles to fall into semi autonomous when travelling on highways, for example. The idea of this kind of project is to pack more cars onto limited road space, reduce congestion and use less fuel.
highways are not necessarily being used efficiently, says Sven Beiker, who is not involved with the project. if you look moncler outlet location at a highway during rush hour, not more than 20% to 30% of surface area is actually occupied by vehicles is a lot of space left and right, in front and behind the vehicle. cars should be able to drive much more closely together on fast roads, allowing them moncler coats cheap to slip stream each other, reducing drag. As the moncler coats outlet computers are able to take a view of traffic on moncler jacket online the road, they should also be able to reduce stop start traffic.
In 2012, the Satre consortium of manufacturers and researchers, showed off Discount Moncler Coats a semi autonomous road train of three cars, following a truck at a Volvo test track in Sweden. Each car initially driven by a human slots in behind the truck allowing a wireless system to take over the controls. Commands to steer, speed up moncler jackets canada and slow down all come from the driver of the lead vehicle. When the car wants to leave, the driver is able to take back control.
a driver in a road train, the idea is in fact to be able moncler coats sale to both read the newspaper and eat moncler outlet online store breakfast whilst travelling at 90km/h, says a plumy voiceover on a video that shows the trial. In the final system, the researchers envisage lots of cars to a lead vehicle travelling at high speed along specific routes on motorways and highways.
monlcer down jackets If and when it becomes a reality, it may signal the beginning of the end for human drivers on most of our moncler jacket outlet roads. Then, people who still want the pleasure of driving themselves may have to warn other road users that they are engaging in such a dangerous activity. Perhaps, then, we may have to consider reintroducing the red flag?

Completeness and other forms of Zorn's Lemma are sometimes invoked for semantic proofs of conservation in relatively elementary mathematical contexts in which the corresponding syntactical conservation would suffice. We now show how a fairly general syntactical conservation theorem that covers plenty of the semantic approaches follows from an utmost versatile criterion for conservation given by Scott in 1974.
To this end we work with multi-conclusion entailment relations as extending single-conclusion entailment relations. In a nutshell, the additional axioms with disjunctions in positive position can be eliminated by reducing them to the corresponding disjunction elimination rules, which in turn prove admissible in all known mathematical instances. In deduction terms this means to fold up branchings of proof trees by way of properties of the relevant mathematical structures.
Applications include the syntactical counterparts of the theorems or lemmas known under the names of Artin–Schreier, Krull–Lindenbaum, and Szpilrajn. Related work has been done before on individual instances, e.g., in locale theory, dynamical algebra, formal topology and proof analysis.
In previous studies, infants of depressed mothers have been found to exhibit reduced left
frontal brain electrical activity (EEG). The left frontal region has been hypothesized to mediate
social approach behaviors and positive affective expression. These findings raise important
questions about the cause and nature of atypical EEG patterns in infants of depressed mothers.
The present study begins to address some of these questions by examining whether or not
variations in patterns of frontal brain activity in infants of depressed and nondepressed mothers
are related to variations in infant behavior as observed in naturalistic situations. If such relations
exist, are they specific to certain behaviors hypothesized to be mediated by the frontal region
(i.e., positive approach behaviors)? Frontal and parietal brain electrical activity was recorded
from 14- to 15-month old infants of depressed versus nondepressed mothers during a baseline
condition and during conditions designed to elicit interest and positive affect. Infant behavior
was observed in naturalistic play conditions, with and without mother, on a separate day from
EEG testing. Mothers provided information on infant temperament. Infants of depressed mothers
showed less affection and touching of their mothers. For infants of depressed mothers only,
reduced left frontal brain activity was found to be related to lower levels of affection toward
mother, but not to infant temperament. Furthermore, increased generalized frontal activation was
found to be related to higher levels of negative affect, hostility, and tantrums and aggression.
Relations between infant brain activity and behavior were not found for parietal EEG activity.
These results suggest that infant frontal electrical brain activity is related to variations in infant
behavior, especially those involved in positive affiliative behavior and the expression and
regulation of negative affect. The nature and cause of atypical patterns of brain activity and
question of whether such atypical patterns of frontal brain activity predispose infants to affective
disorders in later life are discussed.

Here's how I answered some of the structural / project design questions I asked last time.
I wanted Climate Anxiety Counseling to help break me out of my paralysis of fear and grief. I wanted to hear what people who share Providence / RI with me were worried about — just in general, because people's worries affect how they act (mine were certainly affecting how I acted). I also wanted to know what might be keeping people from worrying about or acting to reduce global warming, and if they imagined it (I imagine it), and how they thought about it. And I wanted, as I've said a couple of times, to build better ways of talking about it at all — to untie my own tongue …
… and maybe help other people untie theirs. I did want to listen to the people who spoke with me, to hear them, to recognize them, however and whoever they were while they were talking to me, which I believe can be a feature of actual counseling. I wasn't looking for anybody to feel "better" necessarily, but closer, less isolated, more regarded. Eventually, this also developed into wanting to offer people a way to act to protect and boost the ecologies that keep us and other creatures alive.
I tried to get that offer across in a few ways: by the smallness and unpolished-ness of my booth (inviting?); by my sign, which was legible but not wholly self-explanatory (intriguing?); through an answer to the question "What is this?" that changed with time and also in response to the tone of the question and the demeanor of the person asking it. The different versions of the answer / explanation overlap a bunch, but I'm still not thrilled with any of them; I am a long-winded person, as you've no doubt figured out by now, and I think they take too long, and if I make them shorter I end up leaving something out.
Similarly, the ratio of me talking and other people talking is out of whack and was even worse (more weighted toward me talking) in the beginning of the project. I know that not everybody wants or needs to hear what I have to say, especially advice, but I don't really believe that. It was especially tempting to give advice when the person's worry was something I knew about / had lived through a version of, like not knowing how to ask for help at school, or had an idea about. I had less trouble refraining from suggestions about climate anxiety and climate change, because I didn't know what to do about those either. You can see the relevant questions I asked regularly here.
After asking permission ("Can I write down what you say?') I noted what people said in handwritten notes that are currently bulking out a three-ring binder; what's appeared on this site is a sampling. I was a little less strenuous about asking whether I could post what I wrote down, and I regret that, although I did make it clear that the website exists and displays what people said to me. My notes describe my interlocutors (and name the ones whose names I know) but this site doesn't, and won't; no public venue will show anyone's name unless it's someone I know and they give their permission. But that still feels like ass coverage, a little bit.
Writing as a tool for understanding has become more firmly lodged in me with each passing year, and I knew I wanted to write something with, or about, the project. I still do, and I'm still not sure whether it's "with" or "about" or what form it will take.
I tried not to think too hard about — not to expect — what people would say to me, but I did prepare, a little, for what I would say to them. I decided I wouldn't argue (I broke this self-imposed rule, at least twice, mostly with climate change trivializers) but I didn't have a plan for what I'd do if someone threatened me or sexually harassed me or even tried to physically hurt me. (As it turns out, none of those things happened.) I also decided to talk with the person I was talking with as long as they wanted to talk, even when they were repeating themselves or talking with zero listening, rather than shunt them off for somebody else; I broke this rule once. I got very mildly nervous for my safety only twice. I cried on the job once.
Tune in next time for more practical considerations!

Comments-Only Access Added to Google Docs
Google Docs recently announced expanded features for receiving feedback on documents by releasing a "Can comment" permission level to docs. In the past, users could create a document and select "Can edit" or "Can view" as sharing options, but there was no option for getting comments without including the ability to edit the document. This is especially helpful for creating public web documents where anyone with a link can make a comment.
This "Can comment" permission level allows for anonymous (and user authenticated) comments to be tracked on a document for a class. For instance, an instructor or student may upload an article and set the article to "Can comment" so students may make comments on the document and see peer responses in a context not otherwise possible. All links can be easily shared in CourseWorks, EdBlogs, Wikispaces and other tools.

BRUSH|REED in Minneapolis
Minneapolis Debut! We've played on both sides of the globe but haven't yet returned to our roots...Minnesota, here we come!
Opening their seventh season, BRUSH|REED will be making their Minneapolis debut on March 11 at 8pm at Honey (205 E Hennepin Ave). Natives of Mound, Linnea Doyle and Jennifer Bill are thrilled to be bringing their collaboration home to Minnesota for the first time.
BRUSH|REED was conceived in the Summer of 2008 on a warm, humid afternoon in Minneapolis, when the painter and musician—both originally from the area and friends since 1995—were brainstorming a way to fuse their respective arts. BRUSH|REED emerged as an experience designed to cross disciplines, unite their passions, and highlight the close relationship between music and visual arts for audiences around the world. Performing live music and live painting on the stage, BRUSH|REED has intrigued audiences since its premiere performance in February of 2009. Past performances have taken BRUSH|REED around the U.S. and the world, including Hong Kong, Scotland, and Boston. Future performances will include a tour of Australia in 2016.

So first, a quick recap of the hand we discussed on the podcast. CO is a player that Zach has history with in PLO. In the PLO games this player is very loose preflop and occasionally stacks off with bad hands postflop. The villain in the BB is hyper-laggy. He is opens very wide preflop and often uses large sizings.
Location: Jack Casino
Stakes: $2/$5
CO (1500) opens to 20, Hero (1500) raises to 65 with QxQc, laggy BB (600) calls, CO raises to 225, Hero calls, BB calls
Flop (675) Ac9s2c CO checks, Hero bets 345, BB folds, CO folds
Preflop seems pretty straightforward to me. At a six-handed table this deep, we should definitely be 3-betting QQ. Once we are 4-bet, we have a set-mine/evaluate hand, so I think calling is by far best. On the flop, we have a very interesting decision once it checks around to us. It seems like an excellent bluffing opportunity since we have a lot of fold equity against both villain's ranges. However, neither villain is completely capped, and there are two of them that we really need to fold for our bluff to be successful. It is very unlikely for us to be called by worse.
So let's test some thresholds here. When we bet 345, which seems like a good sizing to me, we need both opponents to fold 51% of the time assuming we are never called by worse.
So in the podcast discussion, we were pretty confident about our opponents' preflop ranges.
We are discounting JJ for the CO and AQ-AJ for the BB. Therefore, let's give CO half of JJ and give BB half of AQo, AQs (of which there are 2 combos on the flop), and all AJs but no AJo.
So let's start out just working with those ranges and make a few different set of assumptions and see how the bluff works.
Our first set of assumptions will mirror the podcast assumptions. Let's say BB leads half of his Ax on the flop and checks everything else and CO bets all of his Ax but checks all pairs. When we bet, let's say both opponents fold everything worse than a pair of aces. Given these assumptions, our bluff success rate is 58% without card removal effects which actually make things a little worse for us. So according to podcast assumptions we were correct to make this bet. We also have a tiny bit of equity when called making the bet a little bit better.
So let's imagine a few things that could be different than our assumptions. On the podcast, we discussed that CO has little reason to worry about hand protection on this board against BB and hero's ranges. Therefore, let's imagine CO checks the 3 AK combos with the K of clubs. Now our bluff success rate is 47%. So clearly, if CO is every slowplaying, this bluff gets much worse.
Another challenge that could be made to our preflop range is the presence of 88 in BB's range. If we remove 88, then our bluff success rate is 52%, still enough for our bluff to be slightly profitable. What if BB still has 88 but never leads flop with Ax? Now our bluff success rate is 49.5%.
Now there are some things that could make our bluff even more profitable. The most profitable scenario is when BB and CO will lead out with all of their Ax+ hands. In that situation, our bluff has a 100% success rate. However, it seems just similarly plausible that both villains will check all of their Ax+ hands which would plummet the success rate of our bluff.
So what can we take away from this hand? It was probably a good play by Zach. When CO displayed a physical behavior suggesting KK-JJ like CO did in game make this theoretically plausible bluff much more successful. If that read is correct, then our original assumptions combined with that read lead to a 76% success rate, a slam dunk bluff.
I think this hand demonstrates the importance of accurate assumptions and the need to review hands and not be results oriented. To the first point, we saw how much our bluff success rate varied from slight changes in the underlying assumptions. We were teetering on the edge of +EV and -EV. Therefore, if you can be extremely confident in any of these assumptions, that can be the difference between making a right play and just stabbing in the dark. However, in this particular hand, our assumptions were not validated. That is an important takeaway. We were confident that CO would play KK this way and that BB would play TT this way (in case you haven't listened to the episode, those are the hands they were holding. They showed after folding). While these hands don't invalidate our assumptions, they were not hands in that were in the crucial edge cases that could turn this bluff from genius to disaster.
Therefore, I'm not leaving this hand with the conclusion that I should always be bluffing in similar situations. Rather, I am leaving with a more accurate understanding of how close this spot is and what assumptions can lean the decision one way or another. In a similar situation, I will know what previous assumptions to lean on and what to look for and take note of when observing future hands with future opponents.
Alright, thank you all for reading. As always, you can email me with questions at email@example.com. Remember to check out last week's analysis, another hand Zach played with the BB villain in this hand.

I've always had the biggest love for his work as Final Fantasy. The great form he has with his interaction with the violin is a pretty good combination. Though it seemed like eons ago since he announced his work being renamed to simply, Owen Pallett (yes, it was last December 2009), but when he said of this change with the new name, also came new sound. In Final Fantasy his music came from the works of his hands with the violin. In his new album, Heartland, more electronics and a fuller sound.
Shame how he's going to referred to now as Owen Pallett. I've always thought Final Fantasy added pizzaz to his music. But music and art is fickle, so it will always evolve. At least some great tunes will always be expected from him.

Setting Priorities
It's amazing how having the right priorities makes such a significant difference in your success in life. Priorities help to motivate us and focus us on doing the right thing when the wrong thing is calling to us. Think about the type of choices that a 17-year-old can make. Should he spend a significant amount of time studying and preparing himself for a strong scholastic future, or should he skateboard and play video games with his time. One increases his chance for success in school and life; the other distracts him and rarely adds value other than momentary gratification. For many 17 year olds it comes down to priorities.
When I was 17 my priority was finding a way to have fun. As a result, I was one of the kids on the video games, avoiding my schoolwork like the plague. I was lucky to earn a scholarship based on my SAT scores, but in the end it didn't matter. I wasn't ready for college when I went to Mississippi State. I wasn't even much of a party person; I just didn't know how to succeed. I hadn't learned the discipline of studying, I was easily distracted. I ended up spending most of my time playing games with friends on our computers and skipping most classes altogether. The problem was priorities. Doing well in school and preparing for a successful future was not my priority. My priority was having fun and I succeeded. I had a lot of fun, but I didn't achieve what I had the opportunity to achieve, and created a lot of extra work for myself later in life.
I know I've already jumped on a tangent here, but I might as well go with it. This experience leads me to believe that many kids coming out of high school would actually benefit from the dead-end job experience. School seems a lot easier and a lot more useful after you've worked for a living, paid your own rent, and felt that glass ceiling pushing down on you. It helps you to realize what you're going to get out of school and really improves a person's motivation. What it does more than anything else, is help to establish your priorities. When you've realized that you don't want to be trapped in a dead-end job it becomes much easier to set a priority of graduating from college so that you can work your way into a better future.
That's what priorities do for us. They establish a personal paradigm that helps you weigh your options and determine what is helpful and what is not. Many times when you have real priorities it helps to give you the strength you need to hold on long enough to succeed while others are falling by the wayside.
As you can see, priorities are powerful things. So what are your priorities at work? What paradigm do you have set up to help you determine what you should be working on and when you should give that extra effort? In my case, I spent years focused on myself. I remember hearing throughout my young career that you had to look out for yourself. No one else was going to act with your best interests at heart so you had to do it yourself. I expect that you've heard the same thing at some point. It seems to be a common message in society today. Pop culture is convincing young people that they have to take what they can get. In other words, be selfish and put your needs above others. After all, everybody else is doing it.
I understand the allure of this 'me against the world' mindset. However, when it comes to success in business it is a flawed and broken model that creates its own form of glass ceiling over young workers and sets more advanced workers up for a more public failure. If you want a company or team or group to be successful then there must be mutual trust and respect. No team can succeed if everybody is busy looking out for themselves. In that type of culture the difficult work, the behind the scenes things that make everything go, get ignored because it wasn't glamorous enough.
My model for personal and team success in business is to establish a three-tiered list of priorities.
Priority # 1 – Company
Priority #2 – Team
Priority #3 – Self
I've been using this personal set of priorities for years now, but it was never laid out this clearly in my mind. Then as a leader I realized that the members of my team did not naturally follow this pattern. I dug in deep to verbalize this concept and immediately shared it with my team. If everybody followed these priorities then I felt confident in our ability to succeed. The idea of developing a team that thought like this also appealed to me because it would be a group that I knew I could enjoy working with. As a leader I used to discuss significant decisions publicly so that each person on the team could understand my thought process and see how it lined up with these priorities. I felt that it was important for the team members to know that I lived by the same set of rules so that they could develop the same level of trust in me that I wanted to have in them.
The benefits to the leader of a team like this are obvious. When people put their egos aside they are able to accomplish so much more. In addition, this mind-set helps to generate a mentality where people are actively looking for opportunities to help the company and team. This mind-set is invaluable; it helps turn potential failures into successes even when the leader isn't aware of it.
As time went on I started to notice the benefit that I received as an individual by operating under these priorities. As I moved out of a leadership role into an individual contributor position I've made absolutely certain to maintain the same philosophy. My leaders have never heard me discuss this philosophy. In fact, they might not even share it. But regardless of how they operate, they see the results generated by this set of priorities and can't keep themselves from being impressed.
The person that adopts this set of priorities is more likely to achieve long-term, sustainable success. They don't have to tell anybody about it, people just notice. Managers notice, they see the impacts of this behavior and they start to wish that the rest of the people on their team were just like you.
Let me give you an example. As a manager I had a wonderful employee who serves as a good example… come to think of it, I had a lot of them. I can think of many times that members of my team worked on weekends to make sure that their workload was in good shape and that they had the time they needed to accomplish what must be completed. I also saw these same employees notice each other's workloads and volunteer to help with work that they knew would infringe on their own weekend. They did it because they saw a teammate who needed help and they put their team's success above their own time.
This kind of thing builds a bond between people. They learn to count on each other and are able to accomplish much more than groups of unrelated individuals given the same tasks.
What about putting the company first? What does that look like? I remember when I was the only reporting resource in an area. I found a data source that had some real potential but it also had some real problems. I had been planning to build some cool new reports from this data set but was really disappointed with it. If I moved forward with my original plans it was going to create a lot of extra work and headaches. The work wasn't necessarily something that my boss had asked for, so I didn't have to do it. But I knew that the end result was something that was going to help our department make decisions and as a result would improve our contribution to the company as a whole.
I knew my priorities at this point – Company, Team, Self. So I knew that I wanted to do it, but there was no guarantee of success. Was I willing to risk working extra hours and working on weekends to deliver on my plan if there was a chance that it couldn't be fixed? In the end the answer was yes. The sacrifice of self for the good of a group is the point of the concept. If I wanted to be greedy with my time and efforts then it might make my life easier, but it would not lead to the type of success that I want to achieve.
For those of you who are curious, I was successful in my efforts. It took about a month of extra time, but the results were exactly what I hoped for. Our area was the first to find a way to take certain factors and relationships into account when making our decisions.
What is really cool is that I got personal credit for the work anyway. My motivation was to help the team and the company, but my boss saw the impact that my work had made and made sure that I was credited with it. Does this always happen? No, sometimes you do your work in anonymity, but you keep churning at it. When you find a way to really help out, people will notice eventually.
Last weekend I was talking to my brother about this topic and he reminded me of the reciprocal relationship from the company's side. When a company has people who put the company first then it is the company's responsibility to put the employees first. Creating that positive feedback loop acts to elevate the performance of entire organizations.
As always, it starts with you. You can work in a place where employees are truly valued, where the company accomplishes great things. You are the first link in that chain. It all comes down to your priorities.
Be Blessed!

An embarrassing security breach at the Massachusetts Department of Revenue has allowed unauthorised parties to view the private tax affairs of over 16,000 local businesses – in some cases those of their competitors. While the breach remained open for six months until it was closed towards the end of January, it appears that only 128 exposed accounts were viewed; some of which may have been by the companies' authorised staff.
The problem arose as a result of technical changes introduced to help accountants deal with their clients' tax queries. Unfortunately, the alterations also allowed them to look at bulk file data relating to other businesses.
Massachusetts State Governor Charlie Baker's campaign for re-election is founded on improving efficiency in state government. This slip-up on his watch may not do his prospects any favours.

A lot of people ask me what will we eat. Food is the last thing you need to worry about. All along the way there are restaurants made keeping the Western tourist in mind which serve good and hygienic food including western breakfast. Ethiopia is a country with rich natural resources. My clients have always told me that the fruits here taste amazing and out of the world. We get fruits all along the way. Even in the tribal area. The Ethiopian cuisine is amongst the most delicious cuisines around the world. I promise you, there will be no complain about food. There are a lot of good places were we can get food. If you still think it can be an issue we can buy or you can get canned food for the journey. I will provide you with fire if you feel like cooking. My clients bring canned food but end up eating the local food! I am sure you will fall in love with the food here.
At Jinka we will stay at a level of accommodation that meets your needs. If access to internet is important please let us know so we can take you to a hotel with wifi. At times internet is intermittent even in places with power and after Jinka you will be without internet for the most part. Beyond Jinka, we will be staying in my tents and sleeping bags. The locations of our camp sites are out of the world. We will be staying at few of the most exotic location you would ever wake up to!
Electricity is not a problem until we leave Jinka. After Jinka, we might find electricity in some locations but I recommend you to get extra batteries and car chargers. A simple double USB charger for a car will keep your camera batteries charged. Don't let your batteries die in Omo Valley!
There are banks in Addis Ababa and Arbaminch where you can convert the currencies. So don't stress about converting the currencies before you come here. Ethiopia is a very tourist friendly and a safe country. I don't think you need to worry about people stealing and robbing you but at the same time its always important to be smart and careful.
We get packed mineral water all along the way. We will buy loads of water when we start our journey. This is the one thing I ask my tourist to be careful about. I recommend that you only drink water from the packed bottles. There are solar kiosks in some locations where we can purchase cold water and beverages as well.
Things to carry:
- SUN BLOCK! Be prepared. Though we can often find sunblock,it is not res-stocked on shelves in Ethiopia like it is in your land.
- Light cloths
- Mosquito repellent sprays and ointments (seasonal)
- Extra Batteries
- Swiss Knife or a pocket tool kit
- Canned food (If you need)
- Shoes and sandals
- Flash light
- Wide brimmed hats are recommended
- If you are a photographer or a researcher, I understand that you will have a lot of equipment. I have a car which will carry everything you bring.

Life in Brooklyn is synonymous with hanging on the stoop. Democratic mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio has lived in a one-family house in the borough with his wife and two kids for 13 years.
Stay put, Bill.
I hope Bill de Blasio turns Gracie Mansion into a day care center and stays in his one-family house on 11th St. in Brooklyn where he's lived with his wife and two kids for 13 years.
I was thinking this on Monday as I walked from Little Purity Diner on 12th St. and Seventh Ave., which boasted a de Blasio poster in the window, and passed 378 Seventh Ave., where I was raised in a top-floor railroad flat, and where the fruit store displayed another de Blasio poster.
So did most of the storefronts leading to 11th St. between Sixth and Seventh Aves., where I did most of my growing up, playing stickball, touch football, Ringolevio and hanging out on stoops.
I was thinking: Stay put, Bill.
Here's just one reason why. A woman named Amy Flynn pushed her son, Rowan, 3, up 11th St. in a stroller. "I'll be voting for him tomorrow," she said, waving at de Blasio's house. "I especially like his position on funding pre-K. I also like the idea of having a family guy from a Brooklyn street like this who understands the concerns of regular New Yorkers in City Hall."
So stay put, Bill, and commute to City Hall. Then return home to 11th St. every night, say hello to the neighbors, drag out the garbage cans, take out your keys and let yourself into the house and have dinner with the wife and kids.
There can't be a better way to keep in touch with the real concerns of your city, Bill, than by staying put on 11th St. where my friends and I, like your kids, learned just about everything anyone ever needs to know about life.
Stay put and your neighbors will let you know — on the way to the dry cleaners, sitting in Little Purity Diner, shopping at the corner grocer or eating a slice at Smiling Pizzeria — what's on the city's mind.
I walked down 11th St. on Election Day eve and rang the doorbell of my old friend Eileen Winslow, who has lived for 62 years in this brownstone her police officer father bought. She lives 14 houses up from de Blasio.
Tom Leaver, Eileen's husband, answered the door. He said Eileen wasn't home but that she would probably be voting for de Blasio. "I'm voting for Lhota," Leaver said. "Probably the only guy on 11th St. who will. I mean de Blasio's a really nice guy. He was up and down the block on Halloween as kids went trick-or-treating. I like him. I just think some of his ideas are wacky."
Leaver laughed and stepped out and gazed down 11th St. where I grew up with his brothers-in-law, Jimmy and Ray Winslow. And guys named Sammy Gentile, Tommy Hanley, Tommy Ivancich, Dennis and Anthony Szczygielski. We all sat around on hot summer afternoons spinning boyhood dreams about growing up to play center field for the Yankees, becoming airplane pilots, spies, Wall Street brokers or cops.
Nobody on 11th St. I ever met dreamed of becoming mayor of New York.
But here came Bill de Blasio, stepping out of his house just after noon, dressed in a sharp gray suit and locking his front door.
The next mayor of New York stopped at his weather-beaten garden gate to peruse some old photos of himself taken in 1980 by Daily News photographer Todd Maisel when they were both NYU students.
"Wow, my hair looks like Dante's in these," de Blasio said referring to his teenage son who sports a now-famous Afro. Fifteen minutes earlier, his friendly wife, Chirlane McCray, howled at the same old photos.
She sounded like a mom from 11th St. and not like some diva who'd descended from a Manhattan penthouse 40 stories and $ 40 million above the concerns of average New Yorkers.
De Blasio put the photos in his vestibule and relocked the front door of the house for which he pays taxes on a street where he mingles with neighbors at block parties and often is seen carrying groceries, laundry and takeout food home.
I asked him if he planned on moving from this quintessential Brooklyn street for the grand gates of Gracie Mansion.
"First, it's presumptuous to answer that before the election," he says. "But if I am elected, that will be a family decision. We all love 11th St. It's convenient for my son to get to Brooklyn Tech. We love our neighbors. We'd miss Smiling Pizzeria big time. So we'll decide that one as a family."
I hope his family decides that Mayor Bill de Blasio should stay put.
On 11th St.

Basically the tour can be taken in both directions - even though it is easier to go clock wise. This magnificent tour is an outstanding scenic route (asphalted roads, forest roads, grass tracks etc.). Start your tour in the village centre of Hochfilzen and cycle along the main road towards Leogang. Turn right to go through the forest after 1,5km before "Pass Grießen". The partially grassy track takes you across the "Huber-alp" and the "Grießner-alp", which requires some cycling experience. You will go downhill towards "Aibl-alp". After a short ascent to the Aibl-alp cusp you will reach the location of "Berglehen" - which is where the asphalted road starts - and "Feistenau" (900m). To get back to Hochfilzen you just return on the main road and will reach Hochfilzen after a short distance.

When you roll the dice, sometimes you come up snake eyes...
Someone got sentenced last week. He had a plea deal in place, but elected to plead straight thinking he could do better than the offer, and he had some great arguments for lenience. Well, he did worse than the offer on both the front AND back ends.
Some years ago, I remember the British nanny murder trial. Her attorneys made a tactical choice not to ask for a lesser included instruction- it was guilty of murder or not guilty at all. She lost. Snake eyes. However, the Court reduced the conviction to manslaughter and sentenced her to time served. In the ruling, the Judge said "A court... is not a casino." Snakes eyes to seven, albeit the hard way.
This is not the way the system ought to work. It really isn't a game, and yet everything we do is basically playing "Let's Make a Deal." Do you take the not entirely satisfying prize you already have, a set of luggage, perhaps, or do you opt for Door Number 3? It may be a car, it may be a goat.
It makes it virtually impossible to represent people in garden variety cases- the kind that always result in a guilty plea- with clients who have non- garden variety circumstances. The guy who simply gets drunk and starts brawling maybe doesn't deserve a break- but the guy whose wife just left him or who lost his job or who maybe learned his mother has cancer does. What of the guy who has mental health problems that do not rise to the level of a legal defense? What are these people to do?
There are two conflicting considerations here- the system tries to treat all defendants the same, while also trying to treat everyone as an individual. Try explaining that to a client, who may have serious cognitive disabilities, or who might simply be uneducated. "Well, the court will consider your background, your education, all sorts of things. But the guidelines still say you're supposed to do at least three months in jail."
So, Mr. Client, are you different enough to merit a three month reduction down to just probation? Or are you not different enough? Or, will your background instead give the judge a reason to go up, because you, Mr. Client, should have known better than to forge a check?
A court may not be a casino, but at least a casino is predictable- always split aces and eights, and double all elevens and tens.

Right now, Jack Ma is 51 and worth $23.3 billion (P1.08 million) off a $150 billion (P6.98 trillion) IPO—the largest in history. Yet Jack Ma once made $12 (P558) per month as an English teacher (though he was still happy).
His achievements are practically unbelievable considering his meager, humble beginnings. Along the way, he failed more times (and more spectacularly) than most of us could stomach in a lifetime.
Here are seven ways Jack Ma experienced soul-crushing failure, but managed to keep his optimism, just like his hero, Forrest Gump. He…
1. Didn't give up after failing many exams at school.
Jack Ma was not a good student. In fact, he almost did not get into middle school.
"I failed a key primary school test two times, I failed the middle school test three times, I failed the college entrance exam two times…" Ouch. These are things most of us are lucky enough to have never said to our parents.
But surprisingly, Jack's not alone. There is a tradition of other great minds, including Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, and Abraham Lincoln (along with Forrest Gump) struggled early in life with academics but going on to do great things.
2. Scored 1 out of 120 points on the math portion of his college entrance exam.
Failing is one thing. Getting a score of less than 1% on your college entrance exam is something else completely. And it was not because he did not have time to prepare. To this day, Jack Ma struggles with mathematics, despite the fact that Alibaba is a tech company.
To quote Ma: "I am not good at math, have never studied management, and still cannot read accounting reports."
But as it turns out, he never needed to be good at math to become a billionaire. Perhaps even more impressive is that he never heard the word "computer" in his childhood.
3. Wasn't deterred after being rejected from Harvard 10 times.
It is not so much that being rejected from Harvard 10 times is surprising, it is that he bothered applying that many times in the first place. What this shows us is that Jack Ma is the paradigm of persistence. "The very important thing you should have is patience."
He also went to the aptly named Hangzhou Normal University, where he went on to become an English major.
4. Stayed optimistic after being turned down for 30 jobs.
After graduating from college, he applied to 30 different jobs and was subsequently rejected by all of them.
He even applied to be a police officer. But they did not even give him the time of day, rejecting him with three simple words: "You're no good."
Fortunately, just like his favorite movie hero, Forrest Gump, Jack kept on running. "Today is cruel. Tomorrow is crueler. And the day after tomorrow is beautiful."

5. Was the only interviewee (out of 24) rejected by KFC.
Out of 24 KFC applicants in his pool, 23 were hired. Jack Ma was the only one to be rejected. He attributes this largely to his lack of good looks and short stature.
His wife, Zhang Ying (who married him before he became wealthy), does not mind his appearance. "Ma Yun is not a handsome man, but I fell for him because he can do a lot of things handsome men cannot do."

6. Couldn't convince Silicon Valley to fund Alibaba.
Even after he started Alibaba, he suffered multiple failures. It was not profitable the first three years. In the beginning, they expanded too fast and almost imploded when the dot-com bubble burst. At one point, Alibaba was just 18 months away from bankruptcy.
As Jack Ma humbly notes: "I call Alibaba '1,001 mistakes.'"
7. Told his 18 Alibaba partners that none of them could be execs.
In one of the worst financial and motivational decisions a CEO can make, Jack Ma told the 18 partners (contributing capital for a total of $60,000 USD (P2.79 million), that none could rise higher than the rank of manager. His plan was to instead hire outside managers.
This, he notes, was his biggest mistake ever. "The lessons I learned from the dark days at Alibaba are that you've got to make your team have value, innovation, and vision."

If at first you don't succeed...
Jack Ma is a classic rags-to-riches story, but even more impressive than his fabulous wealth is his uncanny level of persistence. He is proof that no series of failures (despite how cripplingly depressing) can keep someone from achieving their dreams.
As Jack says: "If you don't give up, you still have a chance. Giving up is the greatest failure."

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), one of Congress' fiercest supporters of the public option, has come out to support the Medicare buy-in proposal in the Senate Democrats' deal.
"This is one idea I like a lot," Weiner said in an email to the Daily News, calling the idea "remarkable."
Winning the support of Weiner, who has championed not only a public option but a universal single-payer system, could be a sign that the Dems' proposal may yet win over progressives, even without a public option.The buy-in is a proposal to allow consumers between the ages of 55 and 64 to buy into Medicare.
It's a plan that "would perhaps get us on the path to a single payer model," Weiner said. "In a debate that hasn't focused enough on how to genuinely contain costs and deliver affordable health care, this is one idea I like a lot."
