What does free will have to do with decision-making?
A lot, perhaps. That's what I'm presenting in this year's Eurocogsci 2007. Here are the slides:

Ok, Psychology Today is out with their cover issue about intuition. One thing I've mentioned is that intuition is best viewed as an almost immediate situation understanding. Two qualifiers: almost immediate, because there's a lot of processing involved behind the scenes, on our unconscious machinery. It is, of course, to us, "apparently immediate". Situation understanding as intuition is always meaningful; it is always filled with meaning. This is in stark contrast to those that define intuition as "immediate knowledge". The word knowledge does not begin to convey the meaning that's involved in an intuitive realization.
Where does that meaning come from? Shortly, from the explosion of connotations. We never think about a "triangle" in isolation. What does a "mental" triangle look like? Does it look like a triangle in your brain? Does it look like a triangular pattern of neuron firings? No, it doesn't. It's just a regular type of neuron firing. So how can we have an abstract visualization of something like a triangle (or an atom, an kangaroo, or a skyscraper)? The answer is that we activate a concept in our brain; but that activation is not the key to meaning; the key is what it does. We activate the concept triangle, and a host of connotations explodes, each with another concept and its own associated connotations: pointy things, the number three, polygons, line segments, closed figures, geometry, Pythagoras, angles, pyramids, the triumvirate, and so forth. These awakened, associated, concepts, are what create meaning. Not the word. Not the definition. Words and definitions are meaningless--that's why mathematics is hard.
The whole problem with the symbolic school of cognitive science and AI has been to place their faith on clear definitions; words (symbols) and definitions (procedural knowledge). Clear definitions are great in a proper context, but hey, that's not the way our minds work.
Whenever we think and reason, intuition is the guiding force. If reason is the captain of the mental ship, then intuition is the singing mermaid, who attracts us towards a certain information-processing trajectory (and not others). For very experienced people, that trajectory usually is a great one to follow; for they know where the bad mermaids usually are singing, and instantly avoid them. For the rest of us, we'll just go along for the ride, and see whether or not the pathway is a dead-end. (If it is, we can expand our rolodex--what a great metaphor!).
Just something I haven't mentioned, but wish I had.

Well, sorry about that...
Here they are:
Cognitive Reflection: the 'Premature Temperature Convergence' Hypothesis
By J. Silva and A. Linhares
We present a new hypothesis concerning cognitive reflection and the relationship between System 1 and System 2, corresponding roughly to intuition and reason. This hypothesis postulates a tighter integration between systems than is implied by the common framework of separate modules. If systems are tightly coupled, as we propose here, an explanation of cognitive reflection may rest in the premature convergence of an 'entropy', or 'temperature', parameter.
On the nature of chess intuition: Manifesto for a renaissance
by A. Linhares
How could Kasparov compete? Perhaps the unasked question of the Deep Blue versus Kasparov debate was: how could Kasparov play at the same level of a massively parallel machine which coldly computed up to 330 million tree nodes per second? What is the information processing behind human intuition like? The purpose of this paper is to explore new ideas for a research agenda to model of human chess intuition and intelligence. We initially present results from psychology, in chess players' abstract perception of strategically similar scenarios, and analyze how current cognitive models might not be able to handle such perception. We next study how scientific effort may be measured: Is move quality still the standard to look forward to, when we do not want to construct a world champion, but rather to understand and model human intuition? Finally, we propose a proof-of-concept model, in the form of a computational architecture, which may be able to account for many crucial features of human intuition, such as concentration of attention to relevant aspects, how humans avoid the combinatorial explosion, perception of similarity at a strategic level, and a global understanding of how a scenario may evolve.

When I load a form for the very first time, it takes between 6-8 seconds for a very simple form (4 elements) to load. After the first load, subsequent loads only take 1-2 seconds.
Is there a way to prefetch a form from my website so that when the user clicks the link to load the form it only takes 1-2 seconds on the very first load?Page URL:
- JotForm SupportNik_CAnswered on February 15, 2018 at 09:27 AM
Do you have any special way of accessing your form here http://www.joeguam.com/your-request since I wasn't able to replicate any huge latency?
We'll wait for your response.
Thank you!
- keanoproAnswered on February 15, 2018 at 10:01 AM
The normal user flow would be:
Access: https://www.joeguam.com/requests
...then click on a song in the list. Please try to use an incognito/private browser and notice the difference in the loading the first time versus subsequent times.
- aubreybourkeAnswered on February 15, 2018 at 11:23 AM
When you access the site your browser will keep a recent copy in its cache. That's why its quicker on subsequent reloads. If there are any changes the cache will update. Otherwise it just loads the cached page.
As far as I'm aware there is no way to preload the form to make the initial load faster.
But waiting a few seconds is acceptable in fairness.
- keanoproAnswered on February 16, 2018 at 05:40 PM
For anyone who encounters this same issue, the solution is to load the form on the page where users will click the link to request/load/view your form, but hide it in an invisible <iframe>. Note: You should also be able to do this with a <div>, but I haven't tried it. Once it's loaded on the page before you actually need it, when the user clicks to load your form on the next page, it should already be cached.
First you'll need to get the ID of your form's iframe:
<iframe id="JotFormIFrame-##############"> </iframe>
Then add this code in the javascript to get the element and hide it:
<script type="text/javascript">
var x5 = document.getElementById("JotFormIFrame-##############");
x5.style.display = "none";
It probably is obvious, but "JotFormIFrame-##############" should be the ID of your specific form's iframe.

Mental transformation
You two have an intensely creative connection, one that encourages you to express yourselves in the deepest and most honest way possible. You, especially, might be used to more superficial relationships, but your sweetheart won't allow your bond to exist on anything but a deep, intense and focused level. Your conversations cover huge subjects that boggle both your minds: the nature of the universe and your place in it, the difference between good and evil -- big, theoretical subjects that you stay up all night debating!
Your partner definitely encourages you to think more deeply and more honestly, and the thoughts you come up with might surprise you. You have a really strong pull on them as well, though, don't worry. They see you as the light at the end of the tunnel, because they've always been so focused on the depths that they might not know how to come up for air. You've helped them to translate their more abstract, heavy theories or impressions, and perhaps more importantly, you can encourage them to lighten up from time to time. But don't try to keep things too light; that would be letting a great opportunity slip by. Instead, you should really try to keep each other motivated in pursuing all those deep, dark and interesting ideas, and bringing them to light.

By Frederick A. "Rick" Fisher, MS, CFP®
For years, 401(k) plans have been the go to plan for many small businesses. However, from my experience, many small business owners have been less enthused about the plans due to high fees, complex rules and potential contribution limitations.
In 2005, the SIMPLE IRA was created. This new plan, which was designed for businesses with 100 or fewer employees, simplified the rules and could be administered without the services of Third Party Administrators (TPA), which are needed to keep 401(k) plans in compliance with complex ERISA rules. This fact greatly reduced the overall cost of the plans, while only giving up some of the benefits of the 401(k).
To illustrate, I want to introduce Steve and Kyle. They are partners in a business that they formed 10 years ago out of their garage. Until now they only had enough discretionary money to fund individual IRA and Roth IRAs, which have a limit of $6,000 as of 2014. Today, their incomes and tax liability has grown to the point that they want to contribute substantially more to their retirement accounts, but are wary of the costs and complexities of traditional 401(k) plans. Steve reached out to us and wanted to know if we had any viable alternatives. We responded by sending information on a SIMPLE IRA plan offered by one of the larger Mutual Fund companies.
The information illustrated that each participant can defer up to $12,500 of their salary annually and then receive up to a 3% match of their total compensation. For example, if a participant has an annual income or $80,000, they can defer $12,500, and then receive a 3% match ($2,400) from their employer. For a total contribution of $14,900, and also decrease their taxable income to $68,000.
For participants, who cannot yet defer the maximum, as long as they defer at least 1 to 3%, they will be entitled to some sort of match, depending on which option the employer chose. In this case, since the company has steady cash flow, they chose to do an annual match of up to 3%. Therefore a participant who makes $30,000 can receive a match up to $900, as long as they defer 3% of their annual compensation. For participants who are 50 or over the deferral maximum increases to $15,500, but the match provisions remain the same.
For small company owners who want to offer themselves and their employees a retirement solution that is easy to administer, has a low cost, and allows higher contribution limits than traditional and Roth IRAs, the SIMPLE IRA is a great place to start.
For more information on SIMPLE IRAs and other retirement plan alternatives give our office a call. Remember when it comes to building a retirement nest egg, the time to start is now, and to contribute as much as you can for as long as you can. Or in other words, save early, save often.

Rust Belt Chicago: An Anthology
Edited by Martha Bayne
Chicago is built on a foundation of meat and railroads and steel, but its identity long ago stretched past manufacturing. A city of opportunity from the get-go, it continues to lure new residents from around the world, and from across a region rocked by recession and deindustrialization. But the problems that plague the Belt don't disappear once you get past Gary. In fact, they're often amplified. Chicago's glittering downtown towers stand in sharp contrast to the struggling south and west sides. A city defined by movement that's the anchor of the Midwest, bound to its neighbors by a shared ecosystem and economy, Chicago's complicated – both of the Belt and beyond it. Which makes it a perfect subject for a book. Includes work by Chloe Taft, Sonya Huber, Britt Julious, Kari Lydersen, Kevin Coval, Mark Guarino, and many more.
Praise for Rust Belt Chicago: An Anthology:
"Writers like Stuart Dybek, Studs Terkel, Sandra Cisneros, Nelson Algren and Gwendolyn Brooks start to make up the city's canon. They are required reading for every Chicagoan. But Rust Belt Chicago: An Anthology, the neighborhood cookbook taking the pulse of post-industrial Chicago right now seems like required reading as well." Emma Terhaar, Third Coast Review
"A lively grab bag of essays, fiction and poetry that reads at times like who's who of contemporary Chicago writers/residents." Chris Borrelli, Chicago Tribune
"One of the best books to come across my desk that I can frankly remember." Rick Kogan, WGN Radio
Martha Bayne is a Chicago writer and a senior editor with Belt Publishing. Her work has appeared in publications such as The Baffler, Chicago Reader, Latterly, The Rumpus, and Belt Magazine.

Bigg Boss 11 has entered its twelfth week, and the intensity of the game is going up with each passing day. Hiten Tejwani's unexpected expulsion has proved that no one could manage to take threats at this point in the game any longer. Arshi as well as Luv, the foe-turned-friends in an attempt to take revenge on their once-loved-ones are going to target Hina and also Akash. 7 from 8 remaining entrants will devote this blunder and deal with the wrath of Bigg Boss, tonight. Each of them other than Hina Khan will be chosen this week for expulsion as punishment through Bigg Boss by his lifestyle as he sees his best buddy Arshi Khan sketching versus him. He will lash out atss.
All candidates will be presented a clipping from fellow entrants reviewing nominations. Akash Dadlani will get stunned Arshi and also ask her just how she can betray their companionship. He is going to break all ties with Arshi and make it very clear to her that he performs not need any type of bogus friends waiting for him in the Bigg Boss home.
Bigg Boss will compliment housemates for executing well in the previous duty. The joy and happiness of housemates will definitely be short-term as Bigg Boss is going to add that even with many warnings. He will add that by doing this; he disrespected not merely the candidates yet also the series.
While Hina will ask him to apologise, Akash is going to reveal no remorse about his practice, saying ever
ybody in the house rested not only him.

I decided to install and run Fedora 11 preview seriously. First, I started to get its DVD .iso file using firefox's DownThenAll plugin. After downloaing about half of the image, it left me with a corrupted image file. I don't know why it happenned, but it should be related to our internet connection which is so poor these days.
After that, I decided to use Jigdo to download the image. Downloading a set of small files is much safer. Also, since I was using a Fedora 11 beta and updated it, I already had some of the packages of the preview iso which resulted in less download.
Combining Jigdo with Presto, I can create the final Fedora 11 image by downloading only the differences of many packages. This is a great thing for slow internet connections. It's really unfortunate to hear that Presto will not be ready for Fedora 11 :(. It's a long time that this feature is marked 100%, but som work for bodhi is remaining, and now we hear that it won't be done for Fedora 11.
Anyway, I started downloading packages using Jigdo, but I didn't like the fact that it gets packages one by one (the same thing goes for yum). Like download accelerators, jigdo can download packages in parallel which could lead to faster downloads specially that it gets packages from different mirrors.
So, I started to look at jigdo to find out if I can do it. After looking inside the sources a little, I found that jigdo-lite is a shell script which manages downloads itself using wget. Now, it was possible to achieve the desired effect using (at least)two approaches: 1) using a different download utility like aria2c to download each package using multi connections, 2) running several wget downloads in parallel. I decided to do the latter, and not using multipart downloads. It didn't need much work, just replacing this line:
fetch –force-directories –directory-prefix="$imageTmp" — "$@"
with these:
for myfile in "$@"; do
fetch –force-directories –directory-prefix="$imageTmp" — "$myfile" &
in jigdo-lite script. It is very simple and doesn't have much flexibility. It causes jigdo-lite to run 10 downloads each time in parallel and waiting for all of them to finish (then, it will add these files to the image and starts another 10 downloads). I liked it! 🙂
Anyway, I'm running Fedora 11 now! After some updates, I feel that I can move to it completely soon. I really like presto (and I still hope to be able to use it under Fedora 11), Intel KMS works fine (while I have NOT tried to play with it to find bugs yet) and fortunately the system doesn't crash!! (None of Fedora 10 kernels except the initial version was usable, they all caused system freeze :(. It seems that the problem is solved with 2.6.29 kernels).
Some problems with F11 for now:
1. I run gnome. But when I want to do something which requires PolicyKit authentication (like installing a package with PackageKit), a KDE windows appears to get the root password instead of a gnome window! I'm searching in bugzilla to see if it is reported before.
2. PackageKit still doesn't show any download statistics. And more importantly, it still doesn't understand that installing a package from a local repository doesn't need a network connection. Too dumb! There isn't even any "try to do it anyway" button.
3. None of the bugs I reported regarding problems in fa locale is fixed. More importantly, this bug which was introduced in Fedora 10. I will probably give up using Fedora in Persian (which is what I did since Redhat 8 I think) and use it in English. 😦

After work on Tuesday, I headed out to watch another high school basketball game (which would ultimately be the last one). It was the district tournament, being held in the town of Jessieville. I drove south to Benton, and then cut over on Hwy. 5 heading west towards Hot Springs Village. I had never driven Hwy. 5 before and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was a fun and curvy road (it wasn't that much fun when I was driving back home at 10:45 that night, especially with the random deer that had the nifty idea of just standing out in the middle of the road).
But there are several old barns and other assorted buildings along the road. I stopped at this one, when it was nearly dark outside. This old barn sat alone in a field, with just a few cows and hay bales for company.

I've been wanting to read Gone Girl for ages - could maybe do it during Christmas, though I've heard it's pretty dark, so might not be the best holiday pick.

Enhancing Field Service Productivity By Meeting The Evolving Communication Needs Of Today's Field Service WorkforceVotes: 928
Posted on Oct 20, 2016 by Kodiak | Comments (0)
As the pace of business accelerates, the productivity of your field service workforce and the success of your organization is dependent on their ability to connect with the people, information and applications needed to do their job. The key to productivity is an enhanced level of connectivity, one that provides field service workers with seamless voice and data communications whenever and wherever needed. In the drive to increase productivity, many of you have deployed mobile field service management applications to automate functions such as work order, scheduling and asset management for technicians in the field.
Equally important to field technician productivity, however, is the availability of fast, secure, reliable group and one-to-one (1:1) communications wherever they maybe, whatever network they are on, and whatever device they are using. What's less clear, however, is where to find the solution that meets these requirements.
Traditional cellular services provide the "everywhere" coverage required and the device flexibility, but its group communications isn't fast or simple. Land Mobile Radio (LMR) networks provide instantaneous group communications, but do not meet the need for ubiquitous coverage or access to broadband data applications. Email and voicemail may be just fine for group and 1:1 communications but lack the immediacy as well as the context needed for effective collaboration. Texting certainly provides short, focused communication but isn't reliable or secure, and in many areas cannot be used while driving.
So, where do you find the solution that fills this gap, and offers the best attributes of all cellular, LMR, email/voicemail, and texting? The answer is a portfolio of carrier-managed broadaband push-to-talk (PTT) services, including Broadband PTT, LMR Interoperability, and PTT Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
Broadband PTT
Broadband PTT is truly voice for the digital era, providing short, focused communications that combine the efficiency of texting with the power and versatility of voice. This combination of power, versatility and efficiency makes the process of conveying thoughts easier, faster, and more transparent than it ever was with texting or traditional phone calls.
Broadband PTT delivers fast, reliable, and secure individual or group communications over nationwide carrier LTE/4G/3G/Wi-Fi networks. Having instantaneous 1:1 and group communications available at the push of a button makes it possible for field technicians and others to collaborate wherever they may be, whatever network they are on, or type of device they are using.
And don't forget that shorter calls equal faster answers. Studies have shown that the average cell phone call lasts 1 minute 40 seconds, where as the average PTT call is 27 seconds. Saving 73 seconds per call provides a significant boost to worker productivity and efficiency, and makes it easier to get the information needed when it's needed.
LMR Interoperability
LMR Interoperability enables seamless communications between users on land mobile radio networks and broadband PTT, making the geographic and technological limitations of LMR a thing of the past. For field service organizations that currently rely on LMR for mobile communications, LMR Interoperability can:
- Extend the coverage provided by an LMR network, delivering group or one-to-one communications at the push of a button on 3G/4G/LTE, LMR or Wi-FI networks, wherever connectivity is available;
- Open push-to-talk communications to a new class of users, allowing executives, administrators, and others who cannot or will not carry a two-way radio to seamlessly communicate with those who do;
- Allow field technicians to use one device for access to broadband data applications and LMR PTT communications.
By complimenting LMR communication with broadband PTT, field service organizations can expand users, extend coverage, and enhance the functionality of the LMR network without the cost of adding new sites or frequencies.
PTT APIs
PTT APIs makes it easy for third-party developers to add push-to-talk voice communications to new and existing field service management applications. Adding sub-second voice communications, presence, contact/group management and alert capabilities to existing workflows reduces ambiguity and clarifies instructions, decreasing the time to communicate and increasing productivity for field service workers.
PTT APIs also make it possible to build applications that have an awareness of people's context, reducing the delays and other barriers that frequently complicate communication between individuals and groups.
The Carrier Integration Advantage
Carrier Integration enables an end-to-end view of the broadband PTT application and the network. With an integrated solution, carriers can provide 24x7 support for both the network and the application, identifying and addressing potential issues before they impact users. Carrier integration also makes it possible take advantage of network capabilities to deliver an enhanced user experience, such as accessing the Rx interface to provide prioritized access to network resources. And carriers offer a one-stop shop for billing/performance questions or concerns.
Field technicians are using information in more creative ways than ever before to do their jobs more efficiently. A carrier managed portfolio of broadband PTT, LMR Interoperability and PTT APIs provides field service workers with fast, secure, reliable group and 1:1 push-to-talk communications, unbounded by coverage area, network technology or device type. That constant level of connectivity and seamless communications means faster and richer collaboration for your workforce and enhanced productivity for your business, all without the capital expense associated with the purchase and deployment of a new network.

It's a rough world out there, wars, riots, entitlement, selfishness and other negative influences. We are constantly trying to rush, push and manage our ever growing list of things to do. Modern technology is limiting human contact more and more. Not to mention that the average person can just down right be nasty. Living in Atlanta for eight (omg has it really been almost a decade) years I have grown accustomed to horrble driving, ridiculous traffic, unbearable selfishness and everyone trying to out do the other person. Which I'm sure is what anyone in any major city has to deal with.
Over the years I have been told that I am to friendly or way to nice. How is this a bad thing? Now because of this I have tried to be mean, or tougher and it usually turned out to be a mess. It wasn't till I went through a massive amount of drama that I realized I actually enjoyed being nice. Once I accepted that being nice was actually something to be proud of, things became much easier for me. Now I'm not saying to become a doormat. Which some of us, including me, go through, but have a healthy balance. I have begun to notice how people react to me and being polite, most people don't know how to react. Yes, people don't know how to react to a nice person. This is a real thing.
If you take time to be nice to people, not only will you make their day better, you also will benefit. It has been proven that when you brighten someone's day you can't help but to feel happy. In the recent couple of years I have continued on my journey and on the way have been well rewarded by others and by life. I enjoy being nice and happy minded. I don't find niceness to be a flaw I find it a great strength.
My top five things to follow on practicing kindess everyday:
- Smile as simple as it seems smiling is one of the biggest ways to make another person happy. Seeing a person who smiles at you for no other reason but to wish well salutations is very powerful.
- Compliment someone. When someone looks nice tell them. Notice that they went out of their way, tell them thank you and how much it helped.
- Forgive this is a hard one. Today there are so many things to make people upset. They bottle it up and usually project it forward on to another. Best example-> retail. Relax breath and remember, it's not personal. (Also keep in mind that this also includes not letting people treat you like a door mat.)
- Gratitude when you wake up each day feeling grateful for all that you are and do spread that around. Show that you are happy in your life. Others respond to that. Like attracts like.
- You the key step in being kind is being kind to yourself. Compliment yourself. Be grateful and be happy.
What are some ways you show kindness?

At a recent court of honor Tyler received his Tenderfoot, Second Class, AND First Class!!! Pretty sweet!!! This kid worked hard! He worked even harder on finishing three required merit badges -- Citizenship in the Community, Personal Fitness, and Family Life. To get his volunteer hours for a non-profit organization for his Citizenship in the Community he was an assistant at a local church's Vacation Bible School this summer.
Sure proud of Tyler!
Not that I love a shot of my bum...but I had to show how tall Alex is getting. He recently surpassed Birch's height as well (but just a tiny bit). This kid has huge feet that don't seem to want to stop growing. Anyway, back to scouting.
Alex also worked really hard this summer to complete his Life Rank. This is the highest BSA rank outside of getting your Eagle. Between cub scouts, boy scouts, and having four boys -- my necklace is getting quite heavy.
In addition to receiving his Life Rank, Alex got five merit badges -- Family Life, Citizenship in the Community, Horsemanship, Canoeing, and Metal Work. His favorite was Canoeing because he got to swim and mess around with his friends in the lake at scout camp. Alex has a total of 21 merit badges completed. At the Court of Honor he was also honored to receive the "Super Scout" award -- an award created by his scout master. This award was voted on by the fellow scouts in the troop after scout camp as the scout that represented the scout traits, good sportsmanship, a leader, and friend to all. Sure made his mom and dad's heart grow warm when Alex's name was announced.
Sure proud of our scouters!!!

A live-in relationship row has been defused in an unusual way where a man has been ordered to spend 15 days alternately with his wife and woman partner--both staying under the same roof.
An order in this regard to help bring peace in the squabbling family hit by marital discord was pronounced by a Lok Adalat judge.
As per the order issued by Judge Ganga Charan Dube yesterday, the wife and the live-in partner will live under the same roof and share space with the man they love for a fortnight each, following a mutual agreement between them.
The house of the man, who retired recently as a state electricity department employee in Omkareshwar, has three rooms and as per the agreement, he will stay in the middle while remaining two rooms will be occupied by his wife and his woman friend, separately.
"The middle room will have an access to both the rooms and the court directed the man to spend a fortnight each with both of them," said government advocate Ashwini Bhate.
As per the agreement, the live-in partner will also have equal share in movable and immovable properties of the man.
The row arose after the man's wife had filed a complaint with Lok Adalat alleging that her husband spends most of the time with his woman friend and that for the last two years she has begun staying with them at their house.

For sports that require explosive bursts of power against outside forces (like other athletes) you will want to look towards loaded plyometric movements to get the job done.
Most athletes and coaches think that the clean, snatch, and their variations are the only option for power development. Fortunately there are many alternative exercises that are both safe for athletes new to this type of training and extremely effective.
Medicine Ball Keg Toss
Good for: Beginners
Virtually any athlete can safely use this movement. The primary goal is to make sure triple extension of the hips, knees, and ankles is achieved on each toss.
Explosive Medicine Ball Push
Good for: Intermediate Skill Levels
For athletes that need explosive starts, this is a great option. You will need a medicine ball and something soft to fall onto.
Dumbbell Box Jump
Good for: Intermediate Skill Levels
Before adding weight to the box jump, the athlete should be able to demonstrate correct mechanics of an unloaded box jump. There is no need to select a high box for these to be effective. Instead focus on the box appropriate for the athlete to use about 30-40% of their body weight.
Hex Bar Jump
Good for: Advanced Skill Levls
Prior to using this movement, an athlete should be proficient in the barbell or hex bar deadlift. They must also be comfortable with hip hinge mechanics and be able to maintain a neutral spine. With this movement, start with about 50% of body weight and progress up as long as mechanics are maintained along with speed.
Try adding in one of these movements on your next leg day after the warm-up and before the main lift of the day. Keep everything crisp and fast to rack up the power production benefits.
Coach Sarah Walls, founder of SAPT, is a professional performance development coach and personal trainer with over 15-years experience. SAPT offers athletic training programs for individuals of any age and background. Please email Sarah if you would like to learn more!

Update (12/03/15): Apple's iTunes service suffered an outage for several hours yesterday and was reportedly down because of an "internal error".
In a statement to CNBC last night, Apple apologised to customers experiencing problems with iTunes and other services, adding: "The cause was an internal DNS error at Apple."
The company also thanked everyone for their patience as it worked to make all services available.
The internet is awash with reports that Apple has suffered outages on a number of its services, including iTunes.
On the Apple website, the page showing the system status of the company's services, stores and iCloud appear to suggest there are issues (as of 14.51 GST). As well as reported knock-on effects for customers, the Daily Mail website has reported that the apparent iTunes outage could be costing Apple a staggering more than $2 million an hour (£1.34m) or $34,000 every minute (around £23,000).

Cedar SidingWritten by Patricia Skinner
If you like the contemporary look, or the Shaker look, you'll love the idea of adorning your house with traditional cedar siding. People choose cedar to clad the outside walls of their homes for its durability, lightweight and its beauty. In addition, cedar makes an excellent insulating material which makes it valuable both winter and summer.
You can basically get two types of cedar siding lumber; red and white. Controversy rages as to which is best. I think that like everything else, it all boils down to a matter of taste and availability! Western red cedar is supposed to be the supreme choice in cedar, renowned for its looks and superior lasting power.
Buying Cedar Siding
Red cedar is much stronger than white cedar. Although the two types of wood have the same levels of resistance to weathering and pests, the original strength is much less. White cedar will break much more easily than its red counterpart. It's worth finding out exactly how you should apply your cedar siding to make sure that you get the best out of your product and that it makes a significant contribution to the value of your home.
To begin with, keep your cedar dry and protected before you apply it. Make sure that if you're expecting moisture in the near future that you apply a moisture barrier underneath your cedar. You can buy either kiln dried cedar siding of two qualities, or cedar that has not been dried. Green cedar as it is called needs to be seasoned for at least thirty days (each plank separated from the other to allow air to circulate) before you go ahead and apply it to your outside walls.

American Menswear Designer Todd Snyder and footwear brand PF Flyers has announced the launch of a new product in their ongoing partnership: the Grounder Hi-Top in military canvas and leather. This new style combines Todd's obsession with military functionality and PF Flyers' American legacy, resulting in a smart sneaker for the modern man.
In the early 1900's, inventor BF Goodrich manufactured several lines of vulcanized athletic shoes from tire rubber. In 1933 he patented the Posture Foundation insole, changing the sneaker landscape and immediately growing in popularity. In the 1950's and '60s, PF Flyers became one of the most popular shoe brands in America, dominating the athletic sphere and integrating into the military.
The Grounder originated as a US military issued boot in the 1940s, offering comfort and support to American troops stationed all over the world. In time it evolved into a high performance baseball shoe, and eventually became one of PF's most durable all weather sneaker boots. A perfect blend of fashion and function—with the proper nod to its roots in the Service—the Grounder can stand up to the elements while still looking sharp.
Rugged and refined, the Todd Snyder New York X PF Flyer Grounder Hi-Top combines the signature vintage army aesthetic with premium materials and sport-fueled functionality. The Grounder is constructed from 14oz military canvas, with a solid rubber outsole and pigskin leather lining. A new tailored last plus signature PF Flyers insert offer premium fit and comfort, while elevated rubber foxing, gunmetal eyelets and lace tips, and an embroidered leather ankle patch add a handsome touch.
"I love digging through flea markets and hunting for treasures, so when I went to visit Christopher Tobias and the PF Flyers team in Boston and saw all their catalogs from the early 1900s it just blew me away," says Snyder. "This new style is based on an amazing vintage sneaker in their archive from when they were making shoes for the military. The military has always been a huge source of inspiration for me, and when I saw that, I just knew we had to reintroduce it."
The Grounder ($129.99), offered in olive green and black, is available immediately onlne at www.toddsnyder.com, www.pfflyers.com and with select stockists/stores.

If you were looking for a blowout third quarter from SunPower (NASDAQ:SPWR) it may be a disappointment that the company merely soundly beat both top and bottom line expectations. One of the solar industry's leading panel makers and system builders keeps chugging out profit but is doing very little to wow the industry the way a high-growth competitor like SolarCity (NASDAQ:SCTY.DL) might do.
Still, revenue of $704.2 million on a non-GAAP basis and earnings of $46.4 million, or $0.30 per share, make it one of the most profitable solar companies in the world. Results also soundly beat the estimated $628.7 million in revenue and $0.24 in earnings per share Wall Street had expected. But not even that could keep shares from falling 4% in mid-day trading.
In baseball terms, SunPower is like the steady singles hitter who may hit a double from time to time rather than the home run hitter who makes the headlines but also strikes out on a regular basis.
Slow and steady wins the race
SunPower's strategy has long been slowly building value in a diverse number of end markets rather than betting the farm on one hot market. That's resulted in companies like SolarCity taking a large share in the U.S. residential market, where SunPower could compete more aggressively while pursuing projects around the world. You can see how SolarCity's aggressive growth has resulted in a much larger position in the U.S. residential market in the table below.
Contracted Payments
$756 million
$3.3 billion
MW Booked
Cumulative Contracts
But there are advantages to SunPower's approach as well. It is one of only a few major solar companies that are currently profitable, as you can see in a comparison with SolarCity below.
SunPower also isn't reliant on one market for its future profits. In fact, the YieldCo/HoldCo strategy SunPower is building includes assets in more than a dozen countries around the world.
Prepping for a YieldCo launch
One of the most under-appreciated components of SunPower's business is the prep work going on for a YieldCo that could be launched next year. SunPower is building solar projects on its balance sheet instead of selling them and has 640 megawatts of solar-power systems under contract. Most of these projects could be pushed down to a YieldCo if it is launched or sold to another entity if the price is right.
This is key because instead of selling projects to book revenue and earnings today the company is holding them on the balance sheet to gain more value tomorrow. The impact, both depressing short-term earnings and boosting long-term earnings, is nothing to sneeze at either.
If we just use SunEdison's (OTC:SUNEQ) TerraForm Power (NASDAQ:TERP) YieldCo as a proxy we can estimate the value of this pipeline. TerraForm Power has a $3.75 billion enterprise value -- including equity and debt value -- and 807.9 megawatts of projects both built and in its pipeline. That indicates the market is currently valuing its projects at about $4.65 per watt, which is a rough calculation of value.
SunPower's projects should be worth more given lower degradation and better durability of panels, but even this baseline indicates the value proxy of the pipeline of projects could be worth around $3 billion.
Still a value among solar stocks
One of the reasons I've liked SunPower stock for over two years is that the value it generates continues to grow each quarter. I've outlined above how around $3 billion of solar projects are sitting on the balance sheet, but that's on top of a business that's expected to earn $1.20 per share in net income this year.
Even a modest 15 P/E ratio would give those earnings a $3 billion valuation based on the current diluted share count. It's easy to see $6 billion in total value today, which would be more than a 50% upside for investors.
And then there's growth opportunities. SunPower is building a 350 megawatt plant and has indicated that another expansion on the order of 700 megawatts to 1 gigawatt would be on the way following that plant.
Even slow and steady results like we saw in the third quarter show lots of value for shareholders, and there's upside potential if expansion plans accelerate in the future. But it'll still take time for expansions to show themselves on the top and bottom line, especially if SunPower is stashing away value on the balance sheet.
SunPower is a very nuanced company, and as long as it's seeing strong demand, high margins, and sizable profits for its high efficiency solar panels I think investors are getting a great value in the solar industry. It's not the sexiest solar stock out there, but sometimes slow and steady wins the race.
For today though, even beating expectations wasn't enough to please the market.

The trollveggen Gore-Tex Pro light Pants is a lightweight mountaineering pant with the functionality of a real heavy weightier. Made with a light 70D Gore-Tex Pro fabric, these waterproof and windproof and breathable shell pants will keep you protected under demanding conditions during alpine missions - regardless of the season.
By moving the mounting point of the suspenders in the back closer to the front, we've created a functional full side zipper that provides a practical drop seat solution when partially unzipped from the top.
We've improved the leg construction, creating an ergonomic S-shape to improve movement and decrease excess fabric. By moving the seams to the front, we've managed to build a joint-like cap function to the knee area increasing the mobility.
You can easily adjust the ankle width using the elastic cord in the bottom hem, and we've added eyelets where you can attach straps to create a gaiter like solution.
Other key features include custom-fit Waist system for easy adjustment, a front gaiter hook, a thigh pocket, adjustable suspenders and reinforcement on the lower leg.

Pendleton County resident Mike Mallow can't help but smile about the Treasure Mountain Festivals he's attended since childhood, especially when it comes to the goodies served by local church members.
Sadly, many of the church ladies and their booths have passed with time.
But one treat still steals the show.
Mallow and others can't wait to have another baked potato lovingly prepared by members of the local Lutheran Church. The fun fun runs through Sunday in Franklin.
Mallow, advertising manager for the Moorefield Examiner, is also plugged into social media and has been pleasantly surprised by how many folks – including people who've moved away – also eagerly await this annual opportunity to enjoy their favorite special spud.
Perhaps that's not too surprising since as many as 20,000 sometimes attend the growing annual event which includes a parade, crafts, various contests and displays as well as a fort burning. Now in its 48th year, the festival runs through Sunday.
But that's not the big draw.
"I've notices tons of chatter on Facebook and Twitter specifically for one thing: the Lutheran baked potato. I've seen mentions from people, specifically former residents of the county scattered to the wind, and all making the same intention known. They're coming to the festival for a baked potato," he said.
In fact, he's even written a poem – Ode to the Lutheran Baked Potato – honoring this local culinary masterpiece.
And it also offers advice for folks who may be new to this delicacy.
"One of the last church stands, sticks to a game plan tried and true, undeterred by changes, is that of Martin Luther's crew.
Get it with some butter, some homemade chili, if you please, pepper it green with chives, make orange with liquid cheese.
Remember the sour cream, amazing with just a dollop, any way you want it, just flush it down with some pop."
There's more involved than just tasty carbohydrates.
"For me, and I think a lot of others, is the really deep nostalgia we feel towards the festival, especially because of the way so many other things have changed in our lives. But of all the transitions the festival has made over the years, the potato has stayed the same. It takes us back as we mover forward."

Wand of make invisible
|make invisible
|Base price
|150 zm
|Maximum charges
|Monster use
|May be used by monsters as misc items.
Zapping a wand of make invisible makes the target monster invisible. If you zap it at yourself, you become permanently invisible, unless you are wearing a mummy wrapping. Zapping the wand downward on a square with an engraving will make the engraving disappear. Zapping this wand at a peaceful monster will anger it.
In SLASH'EM, wands of make invisible can also make objects invisible. This simplifies the process of identifying the wand.
The invisibility can be circumvented by wearing a mummy wrapping.
See the main article Invisibility for advantages, disadvantages and tactics of becoming invisible, especially interaction with shops. If you do not yet have a method to enter shops, you might want to keep this wand in case you get a fresh stalker corpse to get permanent invisibility and see invisible.
After a player is permanently invisible, this wand normally has little use. In particular, making your non-steed pets invisible does not give them a combat advantage.
A pacifist is usually on a rather low experience level for a rather long time and will see lots of floating eyes, so this wand can help avoid pets frozen by their gaze (if they cannot see invisible, that is).

... join dd•l's founder Kevin Bethune in NYC on Saturday, May 12th at Parsons School of Design for NYCxDESIGN week. We're celebrating convergence! Parsons Strategic Design + Management Link: http://bit.ly/designxconvergence
Welcome to dd•l's blog. Hear a few words from our founder Kevin Bethune by clicking the video link below. Please check back often for regular updates that will keep you inspired. Thank you and we appreciate your interest in dd•l.
Last January (2018), Kevin Bethune was invited to the Yale School of Business to join design-icon's Michael Bierut and Jessica Helfand as a guest lecturer in the design class they co-teach as a part of the MBA curriculum. Before the class, I joined Michael and Jessica for their "The Design of Business | The Business of Design" podcast where we had rich discussion about the ongoing convergence of design, business and technology.
Please enjoy the podcast by clicking on the link below. Thank you for listening.
Last year, Kevin Bethune had the pleasure of being invited to the 4th iteration of the Design Research Design Strategy (DRDS) Conference held in Hamburg, Germany where he gave a keynote talk about his multidisciplinary career. Please visit DRDS's website for more details.
To hear more from Kevin, please enjoy more of the 1:1 interview conducted by Karolina Stachecka of iStream:
TED and BCG teamed up again for its annual TED@BCG event last October 2017, this time in Milan, Italy. The theme for this session was "Break the Mold," since the complexity of our times and the speed of change require more concerted investments in diversity and valuing differences in approach to help us solve big problems.
Kevin had the fortunate pleasure of joining a cast of incredible speakers across the realms of art, design, microbiology, technology, social impact, and education. Whether sitting in the audience or watching backstage before it was his turn to step onto TED's "red dot," he was deeply inspired by all the great initiatives each speaker was pioneering within their respective fields. Another energy boost was having his wife and son join him in Milan to share in this special moment.
Please enjoy Kevin Bethune's TED talk on the "superpowers of design." Thanks for watching.
In 2016, Kevin Bethune was invited by John Maeda to write for Design.Blog which encapsulated 50 stories from thought leaders who live at the intersection of design, strategy, technology and inclusion.
