Blackjack Insurance vs. Even Money
Although the concept and the math is easy on Blackjack relative and many recreational players do not know that "Even Money" is identical with an "Insurance Bet".
If the dealer is holding an ace, the players have the option to make an "Insurance Bet" to. This bet wins if the dealer gets blackjack and losing in every other (non-picture card). Most players know that this bet is not really profitable, because the house advantage is about 8%.
If the player has blackjack and the dealer keeps an ace, the player has the option EVEN MONEY for his hand to choose, he then receives a payout is 3:2 if the dealer is not Blackjack receives or pushes if the dealer would get blackjack. The two bets are virtually identical. Select even money is exactly the same as you would do an "Insurance Bet". Let us assume once you do that with a $ 100 blackjack hand an "Insurance Bet". They put $ 50 on "Insurance" and the dealer does not get Blackjack - they lose the $ 50 Insurance and get $ 150 for their blackjack hand, so a net profit of $ 100 for you. If the dealer would get blackjack, you get nothing for their own blackjack, but get $ 100 for their "insurance" applications. If you had selected in their blackjack hand even money, you'd get $ 100 for her hand.
Ultimately, it does not matter if you select "Even Money" or "Insurance", no matter what happens, their profit is still $ 100. Both options are not good bets, you will win long term, more money if you do not use these two missions. In the Long Run, "the dealer will get Blackjack not often enough to even money" or an "Insurance Bet" make profit.
"Even Money" or "Insurance Bet" is a bad strategy, and they should not choose these options if they are offered to them.

Good Afternoon,
"I don't know where I'm going but I'm on my way" – Albert Camus
This is technically my first post, but I have already started posting on Instagram. Peonies & Places was truly inspired by the quote above. Like a lot of mid-late twenty-something year olds, I'm a tad lost. I want big and exciting change, but I currently don't have the wallet or everything in place to get there. I've always been obsessed with travel, culture, lifestyle, fashion, beauty, science etc… so here is where I can combine all of them. Sometime next year my budgeting should work where I will finally be able to live abroad in London and get to travel to other amazing destinations on the weekends. Any advice for living in London is welcome, as well as travel tips. Also, I do want this to be more of a visual blog because let's be honest I only look at pictures. Does anyone else do the same?
Cheers to the random, beautiful and interesting posts to come.

Music Monday: Cat London
Happy Monday #MusicMonday that is!
This week, I want to shed light on an amazing Singer/Songwriter based in NYC.
Cat London first caught my attention on Instagram. Her powerful vocals and incredible range of sounds fascinated me.
Cat's music cannot be classified by a single sound. She captivates listeners with a dynamic range of songs. From soulful ballads to playful pop tunes, she really does it all!
Miss Cat London recently launched a new project #TheRightWay, a bullying awareness and kindness campaign that grew out of one of her songs.
"The Right Way" is a duet London wrote in 2013 which features two young people struggling with acceptance, empathy, and bullying. The song makes us recognize that we are the same, we feel the same pain, but we might not realize it.
You can join the movement by using #TheRightWay on your social media accounts and downloading your free copy of the song HERE.
Cat is currently hard at work on her new EP which is set to launch this winter. To be the first to hear the new music, sign up for her mailing list!
Be sure to follow Cat on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook to get the latest scoop!

In The Ocean...
"In the ocean everything is moving - in constant motion all around you. Life is like that, too. It never holds still for you. If you don't move with it, life just passes you right by.
This applies to everything you do. You have to be open, aware, spontaneous and ready to move.
That's yoga. That's surfing, too."

First the good news. Arts Minister Mitch Fifield has returned $8 million per annum of the $24 Million controversially removed each year for four years by previous Minister George Brandis in the 2015/16 budget. The Australia Council has welcomed this decision. It will "enable us to increase investment in the two core grant rounds for 2015-16, providing project support for individuals, groups and small to medium organisation" said CEO Tony Grybowski. It will enable the Council to "invest approximately $22 million in the Four Year Funding program, which provides a level of stability." He said.
This will increase success rates for the next two funding rounds and enable more organisations to continue operations. It also means the returned funds will be delivered to a funding program and portfolio of organisations with demonstrated track records. For our part this is good news. It recognises that the adverse consequences we have been concerned about could have been severe, and that the Department would have had its work cut out to wisely spend the money by 30 June, one of our real concerns.
The new Catalyst Fund, has been opened, replacing the proposed National Program for Excellence in the Arts, and guidelines broadened. On one hand this is good news, as we advocated as did many others, for a broader and more diverse approach. Individuals remain an exclusion and this decision clarifies that funding individuals becomes the Australia Council's role.
So much for the good news. On the other hand, activists who have argued for all the money to be returned are disappointed, with concerns not enough money has been returned to minimise unnecessary collateral damage. Free the Arts spokesperson Norm Horton said: "On balance we have to say this looks to be a bad deal for the arts sector, and small to mediums in particular. The government's decision to push ahead with cuts to the Australia Council of more than $70m over four years will have damaging effects in the sector."
So, this will get us through in the short term, but as far as many advocates are concerned there are still major issues to be addressed. This includes the real question about what the rationale for the new Catalyst Fund actually is. With broader guidelines (and less money) it is not clear that the two federal funds are sufficiently differentiated. Which brings us back to our earlier point where we advocated that the Minister of the day has all the powers needed to direct the Australia Council to achieve the Government's desired objectives, without resorting to a separate funding mechanism.
And the issue of duplication remains, with the added, and for some, disturbing concern that a funding agency very similar to the Australia Council has now materialised within the federal arts department. As Julian Meyrick points out in the Conversation: "If Catalyst works, it will be duplicating the role of the Australia Council. If it doesn't, it will be undermining it."
From a music point of view this new fund offers opportunities. For example, contemporary music receives a small share of the Australia Council pie, as APRA AMCOS's Dean Ormston noted in an article on our website "the Australia Council allocated $14.5 million or 7.3% of its $199.2 million funding to 'Other music', which included contemporary music" in 2013/14. And music is also under represented in touring funding. The majority of Playing Australia funding goes to non-music based performing arts productions. The reasons here are undoubtedly to do with the different dynamics of contemporary music and touring. With the Catalyst Fund guidelines being very broad, we encourage the music sector to seize this opportunity to make this case!
With Senate enquiry hearings into the subject now wrapped up, we await its report. Much time and goodwill has been invested in this process and, if the Government heeds realistic recommendations, then the rapport Minister Fifield has established with the sector will be enhanced. This could bode well as the sector moves out of this phase and prepares to mount strong advocacy for the case to increase overall investment in our national arts portfolio. As we argued recently, if the new Canadian PM can do it, ours can too!

Controversies = Look Again/
Proposed Whale Hunt
Things have changed. Human actions create threats to the planet. New ways arise to counter threats, challenging old ways. Controversies create new patterns, third parties pile on, side issues get mixed in. Proposed whaling by the Makah tribe, located at the tip of the Olympic Peninsula, highlights this repeating pattern and inspired my images of their iconic cedar canoes.
The Makah tribe has applied for an exemption from the Marine Mammal Protection Act to hunt gray whales, following their long history of whale hunting. The process goes through the Fisheries Department of NOAA and requires an environmental impact statement (EIS).
Permit Processes
A 2008 draft EIS was restarted when new research by Jim Darling & Tim Frasier found that there is a Pacific Coast Feeding Group of 200 seasonal residents that is genetically distinct from the larger population of 20,000 to 26,000 that goes by, migrating north.
It may be that tribal knowledge has always known this and is clear which group they wish to hunt from. Or not. At the moment, the environmental impact of killing four of 200 whales is clearly different then four of 20,000. And, as other population data on recovery of whales underlines, protecting female whales in their productive years is critical.
Statements about the new EIS paperwork, predicted to be out by fall 2014, have not been seen by me or John Calambokidis* of Cascadia Research.
Look Again
So here's what might be considered the silver lining of controversy and slow paperwork. We all look again at what is actually happening. We all get more curious about both the whales and about the Makah culture.
Attention to gray whale groups will show us more about their genetics, timing of appearance, and distance from shore. Recent data now confirms a third group that seasonally migrates to inland waters (Calambokidis, 2015).
Attention to creating new ways of honoring the Makah cultural heritage supports the tribe, as when they created a community gathering to mark the anniversary of their last 1999 whale hunt. I'm aware I've not included attention to their very rich art traditions here but will in the future; teachers sharing tribal knowledge helps children understand the background of the controversy.
Of course, given the tendency for bureaucracies and corporations to bulldoze and bury small local communities, those supporting the Makah's may see all this as simply a way to stall and stonewall. My own view is tempered by the fact that the EIS process, slow, flawed, and co-opted as it may be, is one of our current tools for attending to the health of our environment.

This information is for current students interested in taking one of our acting classes or getting cast in a mainstage show.
There is no audition requirement for admission to Barnard College or Columbia University.
Open to All Undergraduates
Our auditions are open to all undergraduates at Columbia University, including students at Barnard College, Columbia College, the School of General Studies, and the Jewish Theological Seminary. No prior acting experience is required. First-year students, transfer students, international visiting students, and non-majors are eligible and welcome to audition. (Graduate students, unfortunately, are ineligible to audition for our stage productions, and only eligible to take an acting class if there is room in the class after all undergrads have been placed, with special permission by the instructor.)
At the beginning of each semester, the Department of Theatre holds auditions for all classes requiring audition for admission, and for all stage productions scheduled for that term. Auditions for all acting classes and productions are open to all Barnard and Columbia undergraduates.
Audition Guidelines
The audition piece must be memorized if you are a declared Theatre major or if you have taken an acting studio class (Commedia, Naturalism, Acting Avant-Garde, Chekhov, Shakespeare, Musical Scene, etc.). If this is your first time auditioning for the Department, it is recommended (but not required) that your audition piece be fully memorized. Prior performance or acting class experience is not required.
Faculty members of the Department of Theatre are looking for actors who are actively and imaginatively engaged in the pursuit of an intention/objective rather than merely demonstrating an emotion or personality. The most successful audition piece is one that actively reveals the experience of a person other than the actor him/herself. It is recommended that you select material that you respond to personally.
We are committed to providing an accessible and welcoming environment for all participants. Individuals with disabilities who anticipate needing accommodations or have questions about the Theatre Department's accessibility should contact Coretta Grant for assistance, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Preparing for Auditions
Read the entire play before the audition. Work on the audition piece with advance preparation; waiting until the night before the audition is highly discouraged.
Some basic questions to consider when preparing your audition piece:
- Who am I?
- Where am I (what is the time, weather and place)?
- Who am I talking to?
- Why am I saying this now, or what makes it important to say this now?
- What am I hoping to achieve by saying this? Or, how do I hope things will change because I say this?
Audition Procedures
All students auditioning for classes and/or productions must attend a meeting in the Minor Latham Playhouse prior to auditions. This meeting takes place in the very first week of the term.
Auditions are held in two sessions. All students are expected to stay for the entire 2-hour audition block for which they sign up. Class and call-back lists will typically be posted by the following Thursday morning. Callbacks for spring productions are usually held that Thursday evening.You will have the opportunity to declare whether you are auditioning for classes only, for productions only, or for both. Students auditioning for courses/productions that require singing (e.g. Acting the Song) should prepare a monologue up to 60 seconds as well as a song up to 60 seconds, to be sung a cappella. Otherwise, students should prepare a 60-second monologue only.
Production rights and responsibilities
Barnard College is guided by the precept that in no aspect of its employment practices or educational programs should there be disparate treatment of persons because of improper considerations of race, color, religion, creed, national or ethnic origin, sex, sexual orientation, age or disability. In addition, Barnard College does not discriminate on the basis of alienage or citizenship status, gender (including gender identity), marital status or partnership status, military status, predisposing genetic characteristics or domestic violence victim status in its employment practices.
The success of any stage production depends on the commitment of all involved. Once a cast, design team, and crew have been selected, the absence of any member of that team is detrimental to the project. Such absences are unprofessional and unacceptable.
Guidelines for Directors
- The Director will adhere to schedules for auditions, rehearsals and performances as determined by the Department Production Manager. Rehearsals are usually scheduled between 6:30-11:30pm Mon-Thurs, with daytime rehearsals TBA on Sat. Tech takes place the week and weekend before the show's opening. There are no rehearsals on Sunday.
- All students involved in a Departmental production must be registered for Rehearsal and Production; supervision of the cast is generally undertaken by the Director; of the design team by a faculty Design supervisor; and of the stage management and crew by the Production Manager.
Guidelines for Performers
Rehearsal and performance schedules will be available at auditions. Be informed about the production schedule: All productions require a five to six week rehearsal period. Can you make the necessary time commitment? Do you have schedule conflicts? It should be understood that all potential scheduling conflicts for the rehearsal periods must be noted during auditions, and reconfirmed with the Director upon casting. It is assumed that performers will eagerly accept any role or assignment offered. Be sure you are clear about your availability and any conditions you are placing upon your audition because:
- It is understood that auditioning for a role in a Department production confirms availability for the rehearsal period, and participation in all scheduled rehearsals, technical rehearsals, performances, and strike.
- Students cast in a production are required to enroll in at least one unit of the Rehearsal and Production.
- It is assumed that directors who cast a student with declared conflicts are willing to work with those conflicts. A student who declines a role without making extenuating conditions known at the time of the audition forfeits the opportunity to perform in a Department production for the remainder of the semester and/or subsequent semesters, as determined by the Chair.
- A student who drops out of a production after having been cast, or is dismissed from the production, is likewise ineligible for further casting for a period of at least one semester, to be determined by the Chair.
- Students are responsible for negotiating all class conflicts with regard to tech and performance schedule. Tech is not an automatic excuse for late submission of required work or absence from other classes.
Guidelines for Dismissal
- A performer may be dismissed from a production for unexcused absence or tardiness from any rehearsal or performance; inappropriate behavior during rehearsal or performance; failure to meet appointments with directors, designers, or other members of the production staff.
- Without prior agreement, the only excusable absences from rehearsal or performance are serious illness or accident, death in the family, natural disaster.
Any student who has shown cause may be dismissed from the show. In some cases, particularly those involving unexcused absence, the relevant supervisor (Director, Production Manager) may recommend immediate dismissal; in other cases the supervisor may give a warning, with the understanding that a second occurrence will result in a dismissal recommendation. In all cases, the Chair of the Department will be notified immediately in writing. The Chair reserves the right to dismiss a cast or crew member from a production upon written recommendation from the Director or Production Manager. Students dismissed from a production will receive a failing grade on the relevant course and will not be eligible for casting in a department production for that semester and/or subsequent semester(s) as determined by the Chair.
Acting Classes
It is also understood that students auditioning for acting classes agree to accept the class to which they are assigned. Students who drop an acting class or refuse an assigned class have in effect denied another student the opportunity to take that assignment; for this reason, students who drop or refuse an assigned may be denied eligibility to audition for an acting class the following semester, as determined by the Chair.

I'm on a roll so lets go with another terrible film that I saw a little while ago. I'm actually shocked that this one is PG-13. The tone and everything felt like it was not, but I'll give the film some slight props for that I suppose. Unfortunately, it all goes downhill from there. This film falls into some deep traps that thrillers/horrors are prone to stepping in and the film's glum outlook doesn't help matters either. It's simply not a fun experience from start to finish.
Mort is an author who hasn't been doing well lately. His papers won't write themselves and he certainly doesn't want to do any writing either. Things get worse when a guy by the name of John Shooter shows up and claims that Mort stole his paper. Mort knows that this isn't true because he wrote it before John claims that he did, but he needs proof. Until Mort can get proof, John decides that he will destroy everyone close to Mort and will scare him into submission. Can Mort get this guy off his back or is it time to panic and retreat? Lets just say that neither one is an option.
All right, this film's terrible. We can start with the animal violence. Mort has a dog, but naturally he is destroyed. The film was pretty obvious about the fact that the dog was going to die and this prevents you from ever getting into the film. What's the point when you know that something so criminal and tragic is about to happen. I didn't like it…I didn't like it one bit. It was a distasteful move right from the get go.
There's also another big problem with the film and it concerns the ending. It's something that doesn't happen very often, but certainly gets quite bad when it does show up. There will be spoilers in this paragraph as well as the next one so skip these if you don't want to know about it. You have been warned so lets go back to spoilers in 3….2……1….Go. It turns out that Mort is insane. John Shooter is a figment of his imagination. What this means is that Mort is the one who destroyed his dog. Mort is also the one who burned his house down and murdered a few other people. The ending of the film also sees Mort murder his wife and her new rebound guy. It then ends with him burying them and living a peaceful life in his house. The police know that it was him, but there is nothing that they can do about it without any proof. I call plot hax on that and it is a very depressing way to end.
There are few things worse than having the villain win in the end. Mort's a mass murderer and the film ends with the knowledge that no charges can be put on him. Moreover, he still comes to town to intimidate people and everyone knows that he could easily do the same thing again. It's a very depressing end to an already terrible film. Imagine if Sucker Punch had end….bad example. Imagine if Air had en…..another bad example. Lets go to Poltergeist 3. If the film had ended with Maryanne being stuck in astral world and everyone else just getting murdered and replaced with ghosts, it would have been pretty lousy. You question what the point of the whole film was. It's possible to handle the situation well and still have the villains win in the end. For example, the Avengers film could have had Thanos show up and destroy the planet and I don't think it would have affected the score negatively. If anything, it would have been a pretty fun ending. It's all about execution, but you simply can't have a psychotic mass murderer end the film off on a high note while all of the other characters get massacred. It just doesn't work.
None of the characters are particularly likable here. Mort's annoying and terrible. There's no real way to like Amy since she is cheating on Mort the whole time. She wants a divorce, but she hasn't actually gotten it yet so that destroys her as a character. Ted's no better since he's the rebound guy for Amy. To make sure that you don't forget this, the film plays the flashback about 10 times or more where Mort finds this out the hard way. The only character who can be seen as semi good is the private investigator, but he's not very good. He's very relaxed about the whole thing and lets his guard down the whole time. He comes across as a guy who is all talk and no action. Needless to say, John Shooter is a pretty terrible villain as well.
The film feels very old despite being a 2000 and later film. Maybe it's a technique that it used on purpose to achieve a retro affect. Whatever the case, the film looked and felt like a 1990's R rated Indie horror film. While I can try to respect the fact that the film got this sinister tone, it doesn't really help the film all that much at all. It doesn't save it from the perfect 0 and doesn't win it back any points. How could it? The plot twist at the end just ends up hurting your own trust in the film and it was already going to be a 2 or a 3 max. Add in the actual ending and then the 0 is an absolute certainty.
There isn't a whole lot more to say about the film. If we ignore the plot twist, then there would have been a lot of plot hax and stretches of disbelief. With the twist, then everything adds up pretty well. I don't like not being able to trust what I'm seeing though, it feels like a big cop out. I suppose that it's the only way the film could go with this plot though. The writing wouldn't have been able to handle it otherwise.
Overall, Secret Garden is a terrible film. It has one of the worst endings in film history, (And that's saying something) a crippling plot twist, unlikable characters, and animal violence. I don't think any film could survive such an onslaught of negatives. There is simply too much to overcome and the only mildly interesting scene in the whole film was a very brief fight, which doesn't even matter thanks to the twist. It's a shame…a true shame. If you want a film with some semblance of quality, then check out I Know What You Did Last Summer. If you want a film with actual quality, then go watch Space Jam. Trust me, there is a big difference between actually being a good film and having a very short glimpse of potential. Space Jam is the former and the Summer film is the latter. Secret Window can't even make it to either category.
Overall 0/10

Dr. Sally Roesch-Wagner, a New York Council for the Humanities Scholar, will talk about the Haudenosaunee women of New York and their equal rights society that influenced the early suffragists. Haudenosaunee women owned the land, the children, and the food and resources. Their husbands took their wives' family names, and women voted on and removed male political representatives. Haudenosaunee women demonstrated to the suffragists that egalitarian society was possible.

Councillor Iona Pannett expressed the council's appreciation and thanks to Geraldine Murphy, the outgoing Chair of Inner City Wellington (formerly Inner City Association) at their recent AGM and launch of the association's new name, website and strategic plan.
Councillor Pannett acknowledged how Geraldine's dedication and commitment to representing inner city residents and businesses, along with her background as a policy analyst, had been invaluable.
John Albertson, past CEO of the NZ Retailers Association will be taking over as chair, and Geraldine has agreed to stay on as deputy chair.
Along with the launch of the new name(Inner City Wellington/Te Reo Pokapū o Pōneke; the voice of Te Aro and Wellington Central), the organisation presented a new more interactive website www.innercitywellington.nz and outlined a three year strategic plan.
The new plans identify several upcoming projects, and members will be encouraged to become involved in areas that interest them. Inner city residents, property owners, businesses and organisations are encouraged to log on to the website and send in expressions of interest or indicate areas of concern.

From seed to bar – straight to you
We are a family of farmers and chocolatiers. We grow our own cacao from seed and then transform it into chocolate, all from our farms on St. Vincent (in the Caribbean). Because we believe the people who grow the cacao are best-qualified to craft the finest chocolate.
Think beyond the bar
When it comes to artisan chocolate, it's not just about flavour and cost. It's about looking after the farmers who care for the cacao and nurturing the land it's grown on. About how the bar is crafted, the journey it's been on and how sustainable the whole process is.

Heuristics is jargon used by decision psychologists and behavioral economists to refer to cognitive shortcuts we humans take to make judgments and decisions. One of the first heuristics identified as such by Danny Kahneman and Amos Tversky was the anchoring heuristic. I would define it for you, but it is wonderfully captured in this cartoon:
About MeI am a physician and behavioral scientist. My research and writing explore the quirks in human nature that influence our lives -- the mixture of rational and irrational forces that affect our health, our happiness, and the way our society functions. (more...)

It's only fitting that the deadline for filling out your NCAA Tournament bracket falls on St. Patrick's Day this year.
You were probably scrambling to get those brackets done while pouring some Bailey's Irish Cream over your coffee, pondering where you were going to get that glass of green beer or Guinness to commemorate the occasion. And you were hoping the Luck of the Irish would translate to your bracket, hoping to finally win that coveted office pool.
If you love basketball, March Madness is one of the best times of the year. In cold-weather states like Maine, it's a sign that we're finally saying goodbye to the darkness and gloom of winter and hello to the warmth of spring in spite of the fact the Black Bears have never appeared on a March Madness men's bracket, and unlikely will be anytime soon.
Even those who don't watch basketball regularly get into the Madness, and put pen, mouse or mobile device to brackets just like the diehards. That's what makes it more fun. Yes, there are always those co-workers or the crazy aunt who penciled in a national champion purely because of the badassery of their mascot or the color of their uniforms, and basketball diehards try not to laugh when that nets them an office pool win.
All that being said, and my brackets were filled out long before this piece was written, here are the top reasons why March Madness is memorable to this hoops fan.
No matter how much time you stress out over your bracket, you have to remember there are always going to be upsets. In some cases, your national champion may be gone before the first weekend is all said and done. Your bracket may have more red on it than a Red Sox spring training jersey. But upsets make the tournament memorable, especially for the mid-majors who are usually given no chance to beat renowned superpowers.
One of my upset picks this year has America East champion Stony Brook beating Kentucky. It wouldn't be the first time one of Maine's America East rivals has shocked the world (see Vermont over Syracuse in 2005, and this scribe had the Orange in his Final Four that year). Jameel Warney, a three-time conference player of the year, will finally have his chance to shine on the big stage. Kentucky coach John Calipari was griping about his team getting such a low seed this week, so maybe the Seawolves can take advantage.
The competition on the court is fabulous and intense, but it can certainly get competitive among friends, family and co-workers. Remember, even though you may follow basketball religiously, your colleagues who rarely watch sports have just as much a chance to win as you do. That's the nature of the beast. A lot of years, the sportswriters struggled to merely crack the top five in our office pool. If my 8-year-old niece fills out a bracket that's better than any of mine, that's the way the ball bounces. And maybe I'll give her some Peanut Butter Cups for her efforts.
One of these years, one of those 16 seeds is bound to turn an office pool completely upside down. Will Austin Peay, Florida Gulf Coast, Holy Cross or Hampton pull that off this year? I'm thinking no. But funnier things have happened in this game. Take Holy Cross for example. The Crusaders finished near the bottom of the Patriot League but went into four other team's buildings and won all four games before beating Southern in the First Four. It's been quite a run for my editor's alma mater, but Bob Cousy and Tom Heinsohn aren't walking through that door.
Yes, those of us who are diehards follow our favorite teams all the way through, regardless of where we penciled them in our brackets. In my case, that would be North Carolina. I've been a Tar Heel fan since the first grade, mainly because some guy named Michael Jordan played there and I spent a lot of time down there when I was growing up, thanks to my aunt living about an hour from Wilmington. Like most of my Tar Heel brethren, we'll be supporting two teams: UNC, and whomever plays against that school in Durham. I doubt any Carolina fans have Duke going to Houston. Hell, I have them out in the first round!
Ohh, and my Final Four: North Carolina, Michigan State, Kansas, Oklahoma. Try and guess who my national champion is.

I have a query that has a hard date input which pulls data base on EOM date entered when the query is edited
ie: Where A.AS_OF_DT = '2017-04-30'
How do I write this so that it is dynamic and the user who runs this query does not need to enter a date. The system will automatically grab the the EOM date from 1 month prior each time its ran?
Would love some help!
Figured it out. Thanks!
Well, when you figured it out it would be nice to show what you did.

An exclusive program that we are presenting for the first time. You will be exploring the stunning, blue waters that surrounds the rocky island of Ithaca and attempt the inaugaral Lefkada to Ithaca swim in memory of the dramatic swim of Giorgos and Panos in September 1944 (see the full story below).
You will be swimming along the beautiful coastline of Ithaca (3 days) finding the best spots sheltered by the winds. These coastal swims will have a length of approximately 6/9 km per day. Itineraries will be decided by the Swimtrekking instructors that will be guiding the group during the swims. The crossing days (2 days) will feature a crossing test swim between Ithaca to Kefalonia (6 km from Polis to Fiskardo) and the Lefkada to Ithaca (20 km from Nira to Affalles).
The story
(narrative by Giorgos Koutsouvelis)
At the end of the second World War on September 1944 the resistance of Ithaca and Kefallonia decided to go to help the resistance of Lefkada to fight against the Germans.
From Ithaca there were 31 young men who left the Island on a Kayki boat to get to Nira to meet with them.
After waiting for all the others over a day, my grandfather, Giorgos Koutsoubelis (Kondilatos) and Panos Kallinikos (Popoff) got suspicious. They decided to swim to Ithaca and to bring back a boat who could take the whole group of resistance back to Ithaca.
From the lighthouse, they took the door plus a piece of wood of the floor, to support them crossing the sea.
When they arrived at Affalles (North Ithaca) an army boat stopped them.
On the boat there were Italian soldiers and one Austrian officer. The two Ithacian made them believe, that they were two fisherman who had lost their boat to avoid being arrested. They took them to Fiscardo and the next day back to Ithaca, to Poly Bay.
In the meantime all the other resistance on Lefkada were killed. Giorgos and Panos were the only two who survived.
Exactly that day on Kefallonia, the Germans killed 2500 Italian soldiers.
Each participant should bring 2 goggles, wetsuit, waterproof jacket, warm sweatshirt/jacket, walking shoes/sandals, sun hat and sun glasses. Swimtrekking will provide the swimmers with swim hat and t-shirt.
About Ithaca
Ithaca (popularly called Thiaki) is a rocky island separated from Kefalloniá by a channel 4 km/2.5 miles wide and almost cut in two by the long Gulf of Mólos on its east side; the isthmus joining the two halves, at Mt Aetós (380 m/1,247ft), is only 600m/660yd wide. In the north of the island rises the Ani range of hills (Mt Neritos, 808 m/2,651ft), in the south Mt Stefani (671 m/2,202 ft). Much of the island has been marked by karstic action, but agriculture is possible in a few fertile valleys. This island belongs to the Ionian group of Islands and it has captured the imagination of the historians it is referred to as the homeland of Ulysses, the legendary hero of Homer. Ithaca island is small but beautiful, covered with lush green vegetation that extends up to its white pebbled pristine beaches. The "Captain's Apartments" will be our accommodation base which is located in the small village of Kioni. It is a very picturesque village that has remained unspoiled from major tourist development. The village has been characterised as a 'traditional settlement' and therefore very strict planning rules apply. Kioni Bay is a popular destination for sailing boats. Beaches on Ithaca island are small but they all have a relaxing atmosphere. Surrounded by lush greenery and with crystal blue water, the good thing is that some of the beaches in Ithaca can be accessed on foot and almost all are in good distance one from the other. Frikes, Dexa and Agios Ioannis are among the most beautiful and popular beaches on Ithaca island, however, there are many other small and calm coves waiting to be discovered on this lovely island of the Ionian Sea.

What to bring
On top of your normal clothes you should bring with you: a waterproof jacket, warm sweatshirt, walking shoes/sandals, sun hat and sun glasses.
There are cash points on the island in the town of Vathi and in the villages of Stavros and Kioni.
Places of interest
The chief place on the island of Ithaca is the sheltered port of Vathy or Itháki, probably founded by the Romans. It is charmingly situated in a bay – generally accepted as being the cove of Phorkys, in which the Phaeacians put the returning Odysseus ashore ("Odyssey", 13, 96 ff.) – defended by two Venetian forts.
Itháki Archeological Museum
The Itháki Archeological Museum contains artifacts from the excavations at the Heraion sanctuary. The collection of small votive offerings is one of the richest in Greece. The largest free-standing sculpture to have survived from ancient Greece is the museum's star exhibit.
Cave of the Nymphs
Two km/1.25mi west of Vathy, on the slopes of Mt Áyios Nikólaos, is the Mármaro Spília, a stalactitic cave and ancient cult site which is identified as the Cave of the Nymphs ("Odyssey", 13, 107-108). Mt Aetós – Castle of Odysseus Five km/3 mi west of Vathy, on Mt Aetós, is the acropolis of an ancient city (seventh century B.C.), perhaps Strabo's Alalkomenai, which was excavated by Schliemann and is popularly known as the Castle of Odysseus.
Fountain of Arethusa
Six km/4mi south of Vathy on a difficult path is the Fountain of Arethusa, beneath the Ravens' Crag ("Odyssey", 13, 408-409). Farther south is the plateau of Marathiá, with extensive plantations of olive-trees, from which there are good views. Eumaios's farmyard ("Odyssey", 14, 6) is supposed to have been in this area.
Three km/2mi south of Vathy is the site of Palaiokhorá, the capital of Ithaca until the 16th century. Stavros, Greece The numerous ancient finds made in the vicinity of the village of Stavrós, in the northwest of the island of Ithaca, have suggested this as the most likely site for Odysseus's town and palace.
Panayía Kathará Monastery & Museum
Six km/4mi south of Stavrós is the monastery of the Panayía Kathará, from which there is a magnificent view; festival celebrated annually on September eighth. The monastery also houses a small museum.
Excavations at Pelikáta revealed signs of a Brzone age settelement. Pólis Bay Below Stavrós, to the southwest, is the beautiful Pólis Bay, the only harbor of any size on the west coast of Ithaca. A cave on the west side of the bay was a shrine of Athena and Hera in Mycenaean times. Offshore, near the coast of Kefalloniá, lies the tiny islet of Daskalio, identified as the island of Asteris where the suitors planned to ambush Telemachos ("Odyssey", 14, 6). 1km/.75mi north, on Mt Pelikata above Pólis Bay, are remains of a settlement dated between 2200 and 1500 B.C. 1km/.75mi farther north is the chapel of Áyios Athanásios. West of Stavrós are the picturesque inlets of Fríkes and Kióni. Átokos Átokos, 10km/6mi northeast of Ithaca, is the rocky and uninhabited island of Átokos.

The Berenstain Bears
I've recently discovered how great The Berenstain Bears children's books are for teaching children about all sorts of life lessons. My children love them, and my older son (who is almost four) really seems to absorb the messages.
Amazon is offering a 4-for-3 special and free shipping on many of The Berenstain Bear books (priced around $3.99 each).
I also found a few from the series at Target for $2.99.
My children will be getting several books from the series for Christmas, including the one about "Too Much Junk Food" and "Too Much TV". We've also been reading "Santa Bear", which has a nice message about the pitfalls of materialism at Christmas.
I love to find children's books with positive messages about healthy, green, and frugal living!

So… what did I think of It Takes You Away
Posted on December 6th, 2018 in Culture | No Comments »
Let me put you out of your suspense. Five stars. This is it. This everything I've been looking for all season long.
Is it perfect? No, not quite. But I don't require perfection for five stars, if enough elements are strong enough. I will defend Kill the Moon to the death. Does that mean I don't think that the science is total and utter garbage that doesn't even make intuitive sense? Of course not. But the moral dilemma and the presentation of the Doctor's relationship with Clara is so outstanding, I'll happily give the gibberish biology a total pass.
So, let me get a few gripes out of the way early on, then we can all luxuriate in praise. This episode balances the needs of the four main characters better than anything since episode one. Yas is the most side-lined, but Ed Hime doesn't overstuff the supporting cast and manages to give Graham a real stake in the action – and, for basically the first time – Ryan too. But Ryan's early interactions with Hanne are so clumsy and frankly shitty, I question why he's allowed on the TARDIS at all. By the end of the episode, it's easier to see that this gives him an arc, but the barrier for entry to the most incredible ship in the universe has never seemed lower.
Also, the Doctor's lying to Hanne about the "map" she scrawls on the wall is unconscionably awful. It pays off at the end, and it's great that Hanne wasn't fooled, but it's still a fairly hateful thing to do, and unlike previous displays of lack of empathy from her male-presenting predecessors, she isn't criticised or punished for it. It just stands. Also, I didn't like her promising the sonic to Ribbons, when clearly she had no intention of keeping this promise.
And lastly, we can now add "wee" to the "chicken poo" from Not-Really-Demons in the Punjab to our list of potty training words that have somehow made their way into a Nebula-winning science fiction programme.
I think that's it.
Yup, those are all my complains.
I know, I know. But read on…
Let's start with what's good. The set-up is briskly efficient. Hanne is an engaging character, well-played by Ellie Wallwork. The mystery is clearly established, and the mirror/portal is a splendid and sudden left-turn. The anti-zone acts as a plot-delaying device more than anything else. That's not a criticism, merely an observation, because while you can imagine a version of this story which deletes the buffer zone between dimensions, and just has the characters stepping from one version of the house to the other, a lot of what happens in there is the episode's most visual striking, funniest and contains the most genuine peril – something which has been in short supply this year. And who could complain about extra Kevin Eldon.
Everyone's actions throughout are clearly motivated and spring from character. Hanne knocks Ryan out and heads for the portal, against the Doctor's instructions, because she doesn't trust him, not because the plot requires her to. And the arrival of Team TARDIS in the mirror universe is genuinely surprising, unsettling and unpredictable.
And then WHAM! The episode drops the other shoe like an anvil. Finally, Graham's grief over Grace – in early episodes either ignored or inappropriately painful given the hijinks elsewhere – means something. It connects to the theme of the episode, it increases the jeopardy for the characters and we get a proper stitching together of emotion, adventure and high concept in a way which we haven't seen frankly since World Enough and Time. I'm amazed that Chibnall, who presumably had some kind of scene like this in mind when he wrote The Woman Who Fell to Earth, let another writer deliver the punchline. Or maybe he didn't have this in mind at all, and Ed Hime just saw the opportunity. Whatever, I don't care. This episode is too good. And Bradley Walsh is sublime.
The Doctor – and it really is the Doctor all the way through this episode – desperately tries to get the humans to reject those they've loved, while the Solitract universe starts to tear itself to pieces. Jamie Childs does a wonderful job here, creating the apocalyptic atmosphere the script demands, aided by some of Segun Akinola's best music.
And then it all comes down to the Timelord and the talking frog.
You don't like the talking frog? Fine. Okay. I get it. It's a bold choice, for sure. And if you don't like it, I understand. It's a pretty pisspoor special effect too, but c'mon. We're Doctor Who fans. We can take it.
For me, it hardly matters what form the Solitract takes. For it to take a form associated with Grace, but which isn't Grace, makes perfect sense. And the image is one which only Doctor Who could provide.
We've one more episode to go. I frankly doubt this series can do any better than this.
Ed Hime for showrunner.

New tutorial! Author's comment note: Don't have the magic eraser tool? Use the selection tool to select the areas outside the lineart. Expand (if available) your selection by about half your lineart (mine is 5 px, so 2-3 px). Delete the selection and continue! Magic eraser is a bit easier as I find it has less artifacts (stray pixels) that the select/delete method.
