For a second, forget what gender you are. Also, forget any existing opinions on variances in biological gender traits you may hold – if any. Instead, quickly think about the many differences in reaction to the above title had it instead read:
Evolutionary Science 101: Are Females Smarter Than Males? Science Says Yes
How many mainstream science journals and liberal tabloids would proudly emblazon such a revolutionary finding across their front pages unapologetically? Take this to the bank: Science would periodically be more popular than sex as a chant of "the future is female" rose up like prayers to the deity.
It's clear that science is becoming another academic safe space. Evolutionary science, in particular, is in danger of complete derailment by those who fear the implications of greater human understanding. The future of evolutionary science now revolves around two quivering phobias within the halls of academia: On one hand we have researchers petrified their character and findings will come under attack by political correctness hawks; on the other hand lurks a lynch mob of academic activists who, out of pure fear of the implications, are actively suppressing study into uncomfortable aspects of gender dimorphism and biological variance across racial groups. The former are now largely self-censoring to the detriment of overall scientific progress; the latter are becoming emboldened as bullying becomes normalized through official endorsement.
This article will treat one such landmark incident recently exposed in a Quillette piece authored a few weeks ago by Theodore P. Hill; Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at Georgia Tech and currently a research scholar in residence at the California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. Ted and two associates collaborated to produce a research paper which was first scotched from an agreed publication in the Mathematical Intelligencer, then subsequently published by the New York Journal of Mathematics (NYJM), only to be 'memory-holed' and replaced after publication. Ted's published paper in its final form was entitled An Evolutionary Theory for the Variability Hypothesis (2018), which is now only available as an archived pdf ( HERE ).
After realizing his hard work had been unceremoniously assassinated on the podium – after publication, without precedent – Ted did some digging to identify those responsible. It was discovered that the paper had been targeted by an influential wife and husband team of activists at the University of Chicago. Professor Amie Wilkinson and her husband Professor Benson Farb – a member of the NYJM editorial board – had become confederate with Amie's psychometrician and statistician father including Benson's father-in-law. These personalities had taken exception to the social implications of Ted's paper on purely 'feminist' grounds and had hatched a plot to murder his paper. At no time did any of these academic assassins approach the authors directly, preferring cowardice by exerting influence from behind the curtain.
Ted's paper had dared to theorize about an evolutionary mechanism to explain the Greater Male Variability Hypothesis (GMVH); probably one of the most controversial but solid fields of study in evolutionary science due to its relevance in understanding variance in human intelligence distributions. This area of study is vital for the fair application of gender-based social policy in the field of education; it is also vital for guiding workplace reform policy regarding merit-based recruitment practices where high-IQ individuals are required. Those who seek to impose artificial gender-based quotas on recruitment within public and private organizations, seemingly, need to suppress this field of scientific inquiry in order to fulfill a social engineering agenda. The extent to which such social engineering is simply the product of transgressive group-think, or more organized, itself probably deserves serious study on evolutionary grounds because a clear group strategy within a subset of the human population is becoming noticeable.
Ted's story elucidates the extent to which a crusading lynch mob is wrecking the integrity of STEM within the education system of the western world, prompting some hard questions:
Is this lynch mob adopting a collective identity and actively pursuing a group strategy to eliminate their biological competition?
If so, did this group strategy arise mostly organically, or was it consciously precipitated by active social engineering?
If so, who are the parties most responsible for consciously catalyzing the rise of this lynch mob?
Like a viral infection followed by an antibody reaction, is the rising audibility of this group strategy actually the driving force behind the rise of the 'Alt-Right'? (Amorphous and heavily male as this Hegelian reactionary group is, it is undoubtedly the antithesis of the lynch mob).
Is this antibody reaction, which is also becoming self-aware, supposed to sit back and allow the wholesale wrecking of academic freedom to undertake scientific inquiry?
We've seen the cost of such complacency on the social sciences in recent years. I say it's high time to wage a counteroffensive in the name of titans like Galileo. We owe it to these brave men from skirmishes of old to carry forward the flame of truth, ensuring their great personal sacrifices were not in vain.
What Would Galileo Say About This?
Fear is a powerful motivator; some might say the most important evolutionary motivator of all as it underpins the development of the global food chain. Who's eating who and who is successfully preventing themselves from becoming dinner is important stuff. But should fear have a place in scientific inquiry? Can we at least all agree that modern humans have an imperative to free scientific inquiry and theory from the irrational jaws of human emotion? Scientific truths shouldn't have to account for feels. We need to throw away the adult diapers and embrace dispassionate scientific inquiry as a separate jurisdiction from the ethical and moral systems we eventually find influenced by scientific truth. Maybe this is just too much to ask of those who live in fear of being eaten so instead have decided to act as apex predators in the academic food chain. Perhaps this is evolution at work – eat or be eaten!
Galileo has been described by the likes of Einstein as the 'father of modern science.' He is undoubtedly a character who requires no introduction, yet the lessons of his life story and persecution, we are led so easily to believe, are lessons for a bygone era. Not so. Such lessons are timeless. Their relevance to the modern era should be as fresh as the red meat of a giant buffalo ripped from the bone by a pack of hungry hyenas able to pick him off based purely on numerical superiority. For most of his life Galileo probably felt like that buffalo, but as tasty as he was, the hyena has a formidable appetite. It is never satisfied. Along comes a new variety of hyena – one that shrieks like a Banshee.
Upon his death in 1642 the body of Galileo was refused burial among his relatives in the Basilica of Santa Croce. When the Church finally admitted its error almost one hundred years later his body was re-interred exactly where it deserved to be, but not before three of his fingers were unceremoniously removed from his remains – the middle finger of his right hand being currently on display at the Museo Galileo in Florence. Yes, the middle finger! Galileo was a pious individual who would probably object to such a post-mortem prank – as funny as we find this today – but this monumental finger of history has more value for me than to evince a mere chuckle; it represents the inability of decent people to defend the freedoms and honor of our strongmen of civilization within their own lifetime, against unworthy hyenas.
Should Theodore P. Hill and other prominent thinkers of this current era console themselves by the thought their progeny might at least get a chance to glare upon the embalmed middle finger of their forefather, flipping the bird towards the likes of the New York Journal of Mathematics? No, said forefather should have the satisfaction of seeing his persecutors reprimanded, chastised by their peers in academia, but also exposed to public ridicule for corrupting the legacy of men like Galileo.
But why is this not the case already? Why is Mr. Hill probably, right now, inserting a provision in his last will and testament to preserve all ten fingers upon his cadaver? It's simple: Buffaloes are much stronger than hyenas yet they lack an effective group strategy capable of nullifying the well-developed group strategy of the hyena. The strong within society, out of necessity, must actively develop conscious group strategies against their would-be assassins who fancy themselves as apex predators. It's only a cunning bluff. Group strategy is a seminal force in evolution (ie, bees, dolphins, hyenas), but like the shrieking feminist within academia, males need to literally 'man up' as a group, instead of standing idle while being steadily emasculated.
The Three Sins Of Theodore P. Hill – Arch Heretic
What were Ted's great sins deserving of investigationem annihilatio ?
** Here are the three biggies:**
Ted had the kahunas to splash this little beauty (below) across page seven of his paper. I've labeled the graph for the enjoyment of the layman. This graph should be known as "The horror! The horror!" or the "Oh to be average!" icon. It's crying out to be adopted as the logo of a men's rights organization called Men Behaving Badly International (MBBI) – conciliatory women of good quality welcome for membership too because you're evidently the world's most valuable commodity based on high desirability (read Ted's paper for the inside joke).
Nobody wants to be average, but then most people don't want to be a bricklayer or a plumber either – no offense to the humble laborer; you're more useful to society than a dozen shrieking feminists or a pack of high soy content urban trust fund babies. This graph displays what every intellectually honest and keen observer of society already suspects: There are a higher percentage of both really stupid males and really smart males in the overall population when compared to females on a like-for-like basis. Females hug the average more closely.
Contrary to the above graph which is generalized for the GMVH across all traits, the average male IQ is actually higher than the average female IQ. This is seemingly due to the effects of larger average brain size and higher testosterone levels, among others. Ted didn't go this far in his paper, but the assumption that there's a higher proportion of mentally deficient males than females does not seem to be the case (!), which can only evince a more shrill reaction from 'feminists'.
Just go to a Chess tournament and have an unbiased look around. These differences between male and female brain development aren't the result of discrimination against females by males, but rather a biological discrimination phenomenon. Males shouldn't be forced to apologize for human biology and we definitely shouldn't be made to believe disparities in performance are due to our behavioral discrimination against females. The truth is this: Males who play Chess are itching to meet competitive (desirable) females in the workplace but they're simply left standing at the altar, no fault of their own – we don't blame the victim. What male Chess player wouldn't want a spouse he could practice competitively with for enjoyment and edification in their spare time?
There's no need here to explain Ted's highly technical mathematical models as they are above most people's comprehension, including my own. It will simply suffice to repeat Ted's introduction to this gender variability phenomenon where he simply quotes Charles Darwin:
In his research on evolution in the 19th century Charles Darwin reported "Throughout the animal kingdom, when the sexes differ in external appearance, it is, with rare exceptions, the male which has been the more modified; for, generally, the female retains a closer resemblance to the young of her own species, and to other adult members of the same group". – Page 1 of Ted's paper.
The primary biological trait which seems to pack the culture war dynamite, predictably, is human intelligence. Obviously, this is due to IQ being the most important determinant of perceived social value in a modern, technological world, and especially for academics addicted to the smell of their own lovely scent. Likewise, in timeless fashion, even the human creation story in the book of Genesis enshrines the fate of human relations using the Tree of Knowledge metaphor – triggering a fall from grace into a disorder built on faulty gender relations as Adam laments: "The woman whom thou gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree [of knowledge], and I did eat" (Genesis 3:12). The Ancient Greeks also had a story about the first female releasing disorder upon the world; Pandora and her 'box' or 'pithos', within which only hope (Elpis) remained entrapped – maybe the reader can ponder upon the timeless musings of Greek literary use of sexual euphemism. How ironic that such valuable anthropological artifacts deemed 'defunct' still highlight perfectly the importance of gender relations when it comes to the human ability to harness knowledge to prevent social disorder.
Regardless of the explosiveness of the IQ dynamite (forbidden fruit, pardon the pun), it's important to note for the sake of theoretical rigidity that this gender-based variability observation holds for 1) a vast spectrum of biological traits such as height, ape index, hand size (!), etcetera, and 2) it is observable across most of the animal kingdom with infrequent but interesting exceptions to this rule, particularly in the insect kingdom involving an inversion to the sexual dimorphism rule and its correlation with sexual cannibalism; reinforcing a suspicion that a biological gender war is indeed bubbling deep within organic life systems (perhaps the topic for a future article).
As rigid as the first moment Darwin penned it, the GMVH observation is as solid as the truth of heliocentricity championed by Galileo, and likewise, it has hurt the feely-feels of powers that shouldn't be – academic misandrists and their cuckold sidekicks posing as angelic, benevolent feminists.
Ted's proposed theory to explain the greater variability among one gender of a sexually dimorphic species, upon which he chose to formulate general mathematical principles to spur further debate, verbatim, was this:
"SELECTIVITY-VARIABILITY PRINCIPLE. In a species with two sexes A and B, both of which are needed for reproduction, suppose that sex A is relatively selective, i.e., will mate only with a top tier (less than half ) of B candidates. Then from one generation to the next, among subpopulations of B with comparable average attributes, those with greater variability will tend to prevail over those with lesser variability. Conversely, if A is relatively non-selective, accepting all but a bottom fraction (less than half ) of the opposite sex, then subpopulations of B with lesser variability will tend to prevail over those with comparable means and greater variability." – Page 2 of Ted's paper.
Even though Ted's paper is highly academic, he has managed to vigorously wave a red flag at a bull – or since Ted is the bull, perhaps a pack of hyenas is more appropriate. We can clearly see that males of many species, especially mammals and birds, compete for the attention of the female who holds the ability to partake in the evolutionary process between her legs.
As a quick proof of concept, here are two great examples from the bird kingdom – now tell me Ted is wrong to look in this direction!
Clearly, the greater visual variability in attractive plumage only exhibited by the males is designed to attract the plain looking females. It's all about the nookie. At some point in time, only the males would have diverged from the norm in order to increase their chances of mating, thus they must have exhibited greater variability. In humans, when it comes to visual performance, women seem to be the ones investing more heavily on personal appearance, however, in the human species, discrimination for IQ – but also IQ correlations like wealth – has become most important to the equation, unlike with our feathered friends.
In human social science, the act of one gender exhibiting higher selection criteria (being picky) towards a future mate, is known as hypergamy; colloquially referred to as "marrying up" or "gold-digging." Hypergamy is among one of the easiest social phenomena to observe, especially where a historical analysis of Western European culture versus Islamic culture is concerned. This is perhaps a topic for a future article because the manifestation of hypergamy between Islam and Christendom has been quite marked in modes of application over time; even more so among Jewish populations where the males were confined to mercantile professions and then these families were able to escape, for instance, a pogrom, while poorer families were not.
To show how deep this subject cuts into modern gender relations, from The Rational Male, here's probably one of the most revealing excerpts I've read on hypergamy and the 'my body, my choice' era where feminists scowl at hypergamy as if it were a vicious slander:
"I recently saw a video of a fertility doctor who had either used his own sperm to fertilize women's eggs, or completely random samples to father about 40 children. The women, the children (mostly female) were absolutely aghast that he was their father or some donor who they would never know had contributed to half their DNA. The idea that the selection and control of Hypergamy was taken from them was worthy of the death penalty. Yet this is exactly the control we expect men to relinquish in this age. We will pat men on the back for abandoning their evolved instinct to ascertain paternity. We'll tell a man he's a hero for wifing up a single mother and "stepping up to be a father" to a child he didn't sire and at the same time pretend that fathers are superfluous. We'll change 'Father's Day' to 'Special Person's Day' and tell men they're insecure in their masculinity for preferring a son or daughter of his own – but try to remove that control from a woman, try to tell her that Hypergamous choice wasn't hers to make and it's tantamount to rape." – The Rational Male.
If you liked that excerpt, you'll be horrified by THIS exhibit.
The real bombshell which should hit home for feminists if Ted's correct:
"Within human populations where females have historically experienced greater license to choose a mate/sperm sample, due to the correlation between economic success and intelligence, greater female discrimination has aided the males of our species to become more vigorous genetically, especially regarding IQ." – Choróin Ó Ceallaigh
'Choice' is a word feminists love to sloganize, but the irony is that the birthrate of rabid feminists is extremely low compared with females lacking their same social antagonisms, which will only increase the pool of males available to those right-headed females actually seeking a male for mating purposes. Because the direction of future evolution, and especially male vigor, is decided by breeding rather than constant dry-womb kvetching about muh patriarchy, if Ted's theory is correct (I'd wager it is), feminists are only plotting a future where males have an even larger variability in IQ in comparison to females. Too bad for the overall fertility rate though – R.I.P.
Ted's theory (in genetic terms) translates into an extremely selective pressure on the genes within the Y-chromosome in particular, which is only transmitted through male lines. Recent studies on the link between the Y-chromosome and dimorphic differences in brain development are beyond the scope of this article, but if the readers dare delve into this arena the following study is a good place to start:
The Role of the Y Chromosome in Brain Function (2010).
"Conclusion: Despite its small size, and limited gene content, we have argued here that the Y chromosome may exert a considerable influence on brain function. As a consequence of its inheritance pattern, genes upon it may help to define male-specific brain phenotypes, and hence male-typical behaviors. . . . A major goal for future work will be to describe the brain functions of Y-linked genes in terms of their relevance to selective evolutionary forces acting on the chromosome, such as sexual antagonism. Further studies on the Y chromosome will provide insights into the biological basis of neural sexual differentiation (or lack thereof), and will clarify the molecular basis of sex biases in common neuropsychiatric disorders."
Right there at the end, we see the real reason why removing academic activists is vital to human progress: The study of neuropsychiatric disorders is tied up with our understanding of sexual dimorphisms. Why should we choose political correctness over advances in medical science which could greatly alleviate human suffering by possibly opening up a world of treatments and cures for brain disorders? Maybe we should ask this question to the faculty, administrators and trustees of the University of Chicago, the "Free-Speech University" according to the Wall Street Journal. Don't expect an answer any time soon – the devil protects his own.
Ted is a male . . . the most serious crime of all, but Ted DGAF.
The Best Retirement Present Ever
Clearly, Ted and his two colleagues are victims of gender discrimination in the workplace by a female activist and her accomplice husband with a different surname who you just know chants "yes zir" all day long like a parrot gagging for a cracker. Unfortunately, Ted's two colleagues removed their names from his paper before publication, caving into the pressure because they fear to jeopardize their careers. But what about Ted? No, Ted wasn't about to retire without making use of his middle finger before his joints seize up. Ted went full honey badger.
Beware the all-powerful retiree – the honey badger of academia!
Ted seems to have learned the best lesson of all from the post-mortem Galileo, and he's done so while still drawing breath. Persevering to bring this curious saga to light will pay dividends for posterity. However, this individual effort is merely one building block necessary to expose the hyenas preying upon academic freedoms, subsequently infecting our culture and hamstringing real human progress.
That group strategy I hinted at earlier is where you, dear reader, come into your own. Ted's story is a weapon and there are many other examples out there requiring a home in an organized armory. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to ensure these weapons are constantly fired and reloaded on social media and in the public space, but also woven into future alternative media productions such as online video and prose. This is evolutionary war. Only through this group strategy can we earn a much-needed advantage by turning the tables of fear upon these hyenas. Females who care more about social harmony and family needs than selfish agenda, who value the future wellbeing of their sons, should be treated as the Chess Queens they are – MVP's – and don't forget this, men! Healthy families are the engine of human progress and the single most important driver of success or failure in human evolution. It's a group effort, or it's a dead end.
Ted's episode will now get hung on the same immovable wall as the activist bullying of Jordan Peterson, James Damore, Cassie Jaye and Lindsay Shepherd (more ammunition). I can only imagine one retirement gift better for badger Ted than having a paper published in the NYJM, and that's being the first person to have a paper published but then memory-holed by Orwellian activists. Undoubtedly, Ted's paper will now be read by more people than any other NYJM paper, ever. Winning!
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win" – a based male badger
Here's the link to Ted's archived paper and here's the link to Ted's Quillette article which contains far juicier intrigue than an episode of Game of Thrones. It's well worth the read though I'd love to see a mini-documentary of Ted's story set to a David Attenborough impersonator unlocking the faunal mysteries of the academic food chain. There has to be a talented YouTube badger out there somewhere looking for a project to bite into. Extra points if YouTube bans it. Dare to be famous, like Ted.

They came for free pizza, they stayed for the prizes. Its a running joke for the fifteen 13-19 year olds that have spent the year learning about and developing business plans through the Teen Entrepreneur Network. In truth, they come back to feed their ambition.
After its second year, The Teen Entrepreneur Network participants in Courtenay will be pitching their business ideas for a $15,000 prize package. The youth participating in the free Boys and Girls Club program are looking to build themselves a strong financial future as business owners. They have been working diligently with local community leaders and mentors to develop their business plans, and the time to see just how serious these teens are about success is here.
On June 15th from 6:00pm-8:00pm, ten teens from the program will participate in the Teen Tycoon Challenge at Crown Isle. They will deliver their pitch, present their prototypes, and compete for a business services prize package worth over $15,000 to help get the winning pitch to the next level. The package is entirely made up of donations from our local businesses who believe in the program, and who hope to help youth succeed with their ideas. Prizes include everything from business card printing, websites, photography and continued education courses. All hoping to help youth succeed in their ideas.
"When I first took this on I was thinking lemonade stands and cookie sales," says Vivian Vaillant, program coordinator, "I was blown away not only by the complexity of the projects these teens wanted to work on, but also their follow through. It has been such an honour to work with every one of them."
The youth participants are clear that the sentiment goes both ways.
"I have learned so much I can't even explain it." states Frank Goudie. "The club is my favorite place to be." Frank is pitching a boardgame he has designed himself. Through the club, he was able to have it play tested by boardgame publishing giant AEG games.
"I like to be taken seriously," says Tristan Rendell. "The Club has given me real life information. Not just watered down stuff most programs give. They treat us like adults and I appreciate that." Tristan is working on a summer project offering locally made popsicles at Marina park. If his idea flies, he will leave the concept with the club to provide future learning opportunities for new participants. "I know it isn't my forever job." Tristan says, "I like the idea of leaving opportunity with the TEN Club. I learned so much just building it.
"The job for me is partly about helping them develop practical business skills, and partly about helping them get the resources they need to succeed." says Vaillant, "Each project is so individual and they just need someone to show them how to knock on doors to get the answers they need." Vivian looks forward to starting up again next year. "The program is free for secondary students thanks to the support we receive from our Annual Golf Tournament. We start back up September 11th and I have the privilege of being the first to see another set of amazing ideas come from possibly the most exciting generation yet."
Interested youth can inquire at email@example.com.

Additional participant quotes:
"It isn't just the business learning," says Rykes Davies, "The club holds me accountable. I know they care and they'll tell me what I need to hear." At 12 years old Rykes is already a known local musician.
"I was worried my project was too complex for TEN Club" says Mitchell Mansfield. And one can see why. Mitchell. Mitchell wants to host Make-thons around the Valley. "I see my idea as a community builder that will support technology enthusiasts in the Valley.
"I've had more than one idea," says Liam Rendell, "Right now I'm thinking about hand dipped resin flowers. They are really art, but the difference between me and most artists is at least now I understand the business side of it."
"I wanted to work on something that could make some money right now" says Sophia Vaillant, "I was already doing some face painting. Now I'm going to expand." Sophia has already had several regular customers. She realizes now it is time to take herself seriously.
"I didn't really join TEN to start a business" says Crofton, "A friend of mine told me about it before I moved here and said if I didn't come I'd be missing out." In the end Crofton will be pitching a business called Small Pals Pet Sitter. He vacations small animals while their owners on vacation.

Hundreds of thousands coming from all people around the get fabulous invention ideas, but only a struggle of them succeed using turning those ideas in accordance with reality. The main distinction between between the people what persons succeed in following most of the dreams and the any that are left behind in consistency.
Coming up with an idea is the easily part. Turning that thinking around and convincing some individuals to invest in which and the market with purchase it is your hardest part. Before a great idea becomes an invention, it has to go through several steps as stages. Some of the following steps are lengthy and complicated. Some ideas by no means make it to how the market simply because some of the inventor didn't follow that right' channels or alone interest along the course. inventhelp inventions
Many thought processes have been stolen for their malware inventor as a consequence of to have no of competence of the correct protection of the the creations. To protect your technology from practical copyright theft, you seek to clair your advancement. A lumineux prevents any other special day from setting up an very same copy of your process for virtually any given certain time. Just which includes any a number of other process, patenting is compound and forces licensed and highly trained people when you need to take customers through a new procedure. InventHelp Caveman
Another either important but rather complicated part is the most important funding section. Unless a have lots of funds that will help grow any idea, then you need professionals to budget your invention. When attending an investor, you absolutely need to bring the following:
Financial capability of some investor: Is likely to they budget to pay for you nearly the manner by which and in what way much are typically they amenable to risk' with you have?
Market Connection: Going to obtain an opportunist with deep pockets is actually a suitable idea, but also going in support of an dealer with detailed pockets and in addition a trade connection is considered to be the major idea. This investor have the ability to not barely give you funds, but nonetheless , he/she might use unique influence towards the recent market to look for your device in market through a short period.
Percentage on equity these items are demanding: An opportunist will solely fund your primary business as long as they located in return become given an certain percent of very own company.

The ideas mentioned across are right a guidance of my iceberg. There are so , many firm and what is things who go into turning your invention to become a popular business. That's why brains are permanently encouraged for you to seek help you from men with enough experience regarding dealing with such the situation. These workers will advice you and make for sure you don't make misunderstandings that will be able to have harmful effects concerned with your undertaking.
A cool place in the market to start for any chief is InventHelp. The organization is expert to simple to people turn their production ideas toward reality. This task has served thousands to people around the world, and caused by doing so, it has changed the entire lives of many. The following time then you plan on pursuing you are invention idea, make truly to money InventHelp a major visit which will understand exactly they can potentially do during you.

The door to our little room in Chefchaouen, shown above, is multicoloured. The rest of this town in the Rif Mountains is blue.
No work for a year!
We hitched a ride with some lovely young Dutch travellers from the Sahara over the middle Atlas range to Fez, passing such sights as a shepherd watching his flock of sheep graze on a roundabout at the intersection of main roads.
We are lodging in the ancient medina, in a heavily tiled dar with a rooftop view of a courtyard shaded by laden orange trees, medina rooves and mountains.
We wandered the medina.
The riad we are staying in is built around a tiled courtyard, with a rooftop garden which looks over the mosque and palm trees on one side and the Atlas Mountains on the other.
The alley at the door leads to the main square, in which snake charmers, fortune tellers, henna artists and drummers ply their trades.
The souk behind the square sells such things as tagines,
lamb cooked in tagines served with mint tea,
shoes and Berber pashminas.
All of the buildings in Marrakesh are painted in shades of the colour behind this giant wall painting, which is the colour of the earth here.

Description of problem: mod-cluster configuration properties do not persist EAP restart
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. change a mod-cluster configuration property
2. observe change is persisted to EAP's JMX console
3. restart EAP
4. observe change is no longer persisted to EAP's JMX console

The correct procedure to update mod_cluster properties for JBoss 42 is:
1) update JMX properties - nothing gets persisted in this step
2) invoke refresh command to propagate updates to httpd
3) persist changes server configuration file so that they are reloaded after a

DETROIT, MI – Detroit Police are still trying to piece together what happened and why in a deadly chase.
One person, a female is dead, 4 others injured – which includes a 9-year-old boy. The white Ford Taurus is split in two and wrapped around a tree. The jaws of life had to be used to extricate some of the occupants of the vehicle. The accident scene is horrific.
It started on Warren Avenue near Outer Drive when the driver blew through two red lights on Detroit's east side. It ended in a crash on Courville Street near Outer Drive. Authorities state that speeds did not reach over 53 miles per hour. The drive of the sedan was traveling faster when he swerved to miss an on-coming vehicle. He then hit a bump in the road, over corrected and lost control of the vehicle.
The driver is in critical condition and two men, 18 and 19 years old, are in temporary serious condition. The 9-year-old boy is in serious condition. He has two broken legs.
Police did find what appear to be narcotics in the car. They are uncertain if this is why the driver fled. Authorities are also checking to see of he had any outstanding warrants for his arrest. The car does not appear stolen.

Hassle to do my VAT duty
Hassle to do
THE EDITOR: Open letter to the Minister of Finance:
I went to the District Revenue Office in Tunapuna on September 26 (after a long weekend) to make my VAT payment, only to discover that it was closed at 11 am.
In addition to not receiving my last two VAT return forms and having to go into Port of Spain to receive them, I now have to go through this hassle to do my civic and lawful duty (while bearing in mind that late payments are subject to interest).
This office has been closing at 11 am since July due to a non-functioning air condition unit.
When the air condition is working the office closes for lunch in this day and age. This can only happen at government offices.
It is evident that some people are not doing their jobs and should be held accountable. It is time that the system be fixed to sort out those who are doing their jobs from those are not.

It is 1975 again in Houston
The English, alternative rock band The 1975 had made a stop yet again in Houston for their " I like it when you sleep,you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it." North America 2016 tour at Houston's Revention Music Center.
Not only were fans lined up outside hours before the opening of the venue , but in between the first song lead singer Mathew Healy (shown in the photo on the left), asked everyone to take steps back to prevent injuries.
There was no doubt that Houston showed up the 1975.
The band's sound was amazing. The crowd joined in each knowing every lyric to the ballads sang. Those in the audience were just as emotional as the lyrics sang when songs were played such as, " Somebody else" and " If i believe you" .
[huge_it_slider id="14″]
During the song " Loving someone" , the band made a tribute to the LGBTQ+ community – setting the background to a rainbow.
Also before playing the song, " Paris" Healy asked that everyone put away there cellphones stating-
"It's weird for me to sing a very emotional and personal song to the back of cellphones screens , so ask that all of you put them away , and be in the moment here and now. Believe me this memory will be more than any picture or video that could be captured."
Which was incredibly true. The crowd swayed with the music engulfed in sound and moment filled with good vibes.
The 1975 also have another show date tonight – November 27th at Revention Music Center as well , so go check it out . There will definitely be no regrets in being a part of the 1975 experience.

7 Productivity Hacks for Millennials
Millennials have a reputation for getting easily distracted and/or bored. From raising kids to working and conquering the world, we are the generation of dreamers and doers! Productivity hacks can help you manage your time a bit more efficiently so you can focus on what matters to you.
7 Productivity Hacks for Millennials
1. Turn off Notifications
Cell phones are amazing little things, aren't they? But social media and email notifications can be real time suckers if you don't shut them down! When you know you're going to be working on something important, turn off the notifications. Put your phone in airplane mode if you have to! Just make sure you aren't connected to wifi!
2. Exercise
Exercise is one of those productivity hacks most people don't mention…because it takes time. But if you started your day with a 30-minute workout every single day, you'd be more energized and probably get more done.
3. Easy on the Drinks
Who doesn't love a drink once in a while to wind down? But when drinking becomes the only way for you to relax, you might have a problem. And drinking problems lead to productivity problems (especially if you're tired and hungover the next day).
4. Get a Standing Desk
If you've ever sat in a cubicle, you'll know what I mean when I say that butt cramps are no joke! Standing can help you get more done. According to this study from the Washington Post, standing desks boost productivity…not just health!
5. Clean House While Chatting with your Bestie
This is one of my favorite productivity hacks! When I'm on the phone at my house, I do chores. It helps me to not think about the fact that I absolutely hate cleaning. Before you know it, your kitchen, dining room, and living room are all picked up or your furniture is dusted. It really works!
6. Drink More Water
I used to only drink water when I brushed my teeth. I'm not even kidding. A few years ago, I did an Aquatober challenge – drinking only water for the entire month of October. My energy levels were through the roof. My skin was clearer than ever. And I even lost a few pounds! Start by tracking your water intake using a free app. You should aim for at least half your body weight in water every day.
7. Take Advantage of your Most Productive Time of Day
Some people are naturally morning people. I am one of those people (shrugs). I know that I have to start my day with the most important tasks, or they won't get done. For example, if I don't work out first thing in the morning, I won't get it in. If I don't start writing first thing in the morning, when my brain is fresh, I struggle with finding the right words to put on paper.
If afternoons are your most productive time, take advantage of that and save the most important tasks for after lunch.
Your Turn…
What productivity hacks do you use to get more done? Leave a comment below and share your best tips to have a more productive day!

The real Glaswegian working class voice in the independence debate read by thousands, the BBC and other related media, secured the first criminal conviction against one of the seven top cybernats outed by the Daily Mail
Tuesday, May 17, 2011
'There's been a murder', ITV axes popular TV show Taggart, the show that made Mark McManus a cult star of police drama!
Dear All
'There's been a murder'!
Broadcaster ITV has axed the popular Scottish police drama Taggart.
Taggart developed a cult following with its star Mark McManus during his 11 year stint before he passed away.
A good solid character actor, it was his show all the way.
ITV unfortunately decided not to commission any further series of STV's flagship drama for the ITV network.
Taggart had a good run but like all shows, its time has passed despite a decent cast following on from Mark McManus.
The series sees DCI Matt Burke, played by Alex Norton, head up investigations into crime in Glasgow.
The latest series of the hit show premiered on STV last year and had a decent average 33% of audience share.
A spokeswoman for STV confirmed the decision not to commission any further series of the drama.
She said:
"STV is exploring a range of options for Taggart with a number of broadcasters.
"We are committed to the brand and recognise the continuing popularity of this long-running series."
A spokesman for the show's distributor DRG said:
"Taggart is a hugely-popular series internationally.
"For example, it is aired across three different TV channels in Australia and the most recent seasons have achieved their best reception yet.
"It's our shared ambition to return Taggart to UK screens and we can confirm we're currently working closely with STV as we explore options to achieve this."
Ironically, it could be the reception that Taggart receives abroad that might one day sees a return of the gritty crime drama to the small screen.
'There's been a murder'!
Yours sincerely

text: We always look forward to Miu Miu, not just because it signals the end of fashion month, but also because the clothing is always exactly what we want to wear for the coming season. Miuccia Prada outdid herself this time, with a show that was playful featuring graphic pops of stars, swans, snakes, and floral cutouts in fluorescent hues and boxy jackets and satin dresses that are super-flattering and remarkable to look at. There's no question it will be a Hollywood hit, but since Miu Miu is a celeb favorite among Kirsten Dunst, Carey Mulligan, and Kiera Knightley, and young actresses like Dakota Fanning and Mia Wasikowska were sitting front row, the only thing that remains to be seen is which celeb will get her hands on Miu Miu's new spring collection first?

Your Wish, Your Dream or Your Reality?
If you haven't done it yet or before, now it is really Time to note your Dreams, what you want to accomplish.
Whoever has gratitude (now) will be gibve more (in the future), and he or she will have an abundance.
The basic theorie of this day is Like attracts Like. You need to open up your heart and be grateful before you would own what you want. It requires you to step out of the negative thinking, suffering from lack and any other limiting belief. With the moment you stay in these EGO blockages, you can not raise your vibration and being fully grateful and happy for your Goals and what you want.
It is time to ask yourself:
What Do I Most Want Right Now?
During this day you need to use the list you have created at the beginning of our journey or you need to finish the list now. The list has to be as specific as you can.
For sure you have already experienced how your wishes can come true but not necessarily the way you wanted. The Universe always delivers but we really need to choose the package and especially the contect correctly.
I give you an example. You desire a House. In the case of no specification you may get an old house you never wanted.
From this list you need to choose the top 10 desire. Start writing in a way you already own your dreams.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for _____________ and fill in the blank with your desire as though you've received it.
Rhonda says, the three Thank you is a magical number, becuase that is the number of Creation.
The Second Part of the Day is Saturation
Go one by one through your list and answer the following questions:
- What emotions did you feel when you received your desire?
- Who was the first person you told when you received your desire, and how did you tell them?
- What is the first great thin you did hen you received your desire? Include as much details as you can in your mind.
Having your answers as forming thank you again will help you opening your heart more.
My Thoughts upon this Day
Though it is really good to have Goals, Dreams in our head we still need to stay in the present. Focusing only on the Futur needs preserve our actions in the present. We need to keep in mind. WE ARE THE CREATORS. Yes, the Universe helps us but still we need to take the actions.
Imagine, you write a letter but you never go to the Post and send it. The letter stay with you in the house. Will you receive any feedback, or will you get your product? Hardly. To have what you want in the letter, you need to dress, take the letter and go to the post who will deliver it to the destination.
It is time to get up and take actions! 🙂
Contact me any time if you have question, share it if you like it.
Many blessings

Do you…
Fluctuate between various career options?
Wonder what your true passion is?
Feel overwhelmed with too many career options?
Get easily influenced by other's opinions about your career?
Lack information to make a correct career decision?
If you feel like this, Equilibria's gap year is your answer.
Aim Straight
Our Career Planning programme will guide you through a structured, step-by-step process that is facilitated over many months, allowing you to make a career decision slowly and carefully.
We help you to think systematically about your future, making sure your career decision is based on sound, rational information and not on feelings or vague ideas.
Did you know?
Research indicates that almost half of students who enrol for tertiary studies drop out after a few years
How does Equilibria help you to make a correct career decision?
We guide you through a systematic, introspective process that helps you to understand your personality type, talents, values and interests. The process includes psychometric tests, narrative testing methods, workbooks and questionnaires.
Practical career research:
We teach you how to do effective career research and create opportunities for you to do the research. You will do several career interviews, job shadowing and view a range of career videos. You will also do 'student shadowing' where you attend classes with students at a tertiary institution.
Individual career counselling:
You will receive regular career counselling with Equilibria's career coach to monitor your progress and help you clarify your career decision.
Our Career Guidance Principles
The principles on which the programme is based are aligned with contemporary career counselling practice. They are:
- A developmental approach where career counselling and guidance are seen as a process across the span of the year as students gather more information and gain increased insight. It is not seen as a once-off session where students complete psychometric tests and base their career decisions on the scores.
- A student-focused approach where the student is seen as an active agent who makes his/her own decisions based on thorough self- and vocational exploration. This is a constructivist approach where students take their past into account, carefully look at their present situation and circumstances and build upon it to author and design their own future life and career.
- A contextual approach where the student's unique circumstances e.g. family, personal history, and socio-economic status are taken into consideration. This also includes the wider context, such as the economic outlook of South Africa and the world, career trends, labour market demands, scarce skills, and tertiary institution requirements.
- Reality testing where the individual student's personality, interests, values, talents, abilities, academic school subjects and symbols, physical, mental, psychological and learning problems are taken into account in the career field they choose and the higher education institutions they qualify for.
Students who have successfully completed the Career Planning Programme and have passed Equilibria's Career Readiness Test will qualify for a Career Readiness Certificate. This certificate indicates our stamp of approval on the student's career choice and gives credit to the student for completing all the steps in the career guidance process successfully.
Life is not about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself

Why Agilent Technologies Inc. Shares Surged
Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Agilent Technologies -- a provider of bio-analytic tests and electronic measurement solutions to the life sciences, communications, and electronics industry -- jumped as much as 10% after its fourth-quarter earnings results topped Wall Street's expectations.
So what: For the quarter, Agilent reported a 3% decline in revenue to $1.72 billion, hurt by its electronics segment where sales fell 14% year-over-year. Its adjusted profit fell as well to $0.81 per share from $0.86 in the year prior. Despite results that were weaker than last year, both figures still managed to top Wall Street's expectations, which had called for $0.76 in EPS on $1.71 billion in sales. Looking toward the next fiscal year, Agilent provided a forecast which calls for $6.95 billion to $7.15 billion in sales and EPS of $3.03-$3.33, more or less in line with the current consensus estimate.
Now what: I refer to Agilent as a perfect tug-of-war candidate because there are so many catalysts on paper that should send this company higher, but an equal amount of real-world obstacles that are holding it back. On one hand, any sort of bio-analytic testing in the health care industry should see a big demand spike as baby boomers age and as Obamacare rolls out. Conversely, though, federal budget cuts are putting a strain on domestic diagnostic spending, which could very well stymie Agilent's growth for the next couple of years. For now, I'm sticking to the sidelines, but Agilent is a company that I would certainly encourage you to add to your watchlist.
Here's a growth story you don't have to wait for
Agilent Technologies may present investors with a lot of opportunity -- but so does this incredible tech stock, which is growing twice as fast as Google and Facebook, and more than three times as fast as Amazon.com and Apple. Watch our jaw-dropping investor alert video today to find out why The Motley Fool's chief technology officer is putting $117,238 of his own money on the table, and why he's so confident this company will be a huge winner in 2013 and beyond.

To the traders of the Rue de Lappe, Ahmed Merabet was the smiling policeman who popped in for a drink and a chat after hours every weekend.
But on Wednesday, they saw their friend sprawled in the street, begging for mercy moments before he was shot in the head at point blank range.
Mr Merabet, a Muslim, was killed outside the Charlie Hebdo office during Wednesday's massacre. Footage from the attack showed the officer lying wounded on the pavement. As the gunmen moved closer, they asked the 42-year-old: "Do you want to kill us?"
"No, no chief," said Mr Merabet before they shot him in the head at point blank range and escaped.
Mr Merabet was thought to be getting married this summer and had recently been promoted. On Thursday, friends said he had been looking forward to starting a family.
Aziz Mezine, who works at the Bazar Egyptien where Mr Merabet visited most weekends, said he had recognised his friend from his final gesture in the moments before his death.
"I didn't want to see the video, but then I watched it. It is even worse. It is a barbaric act, killing someone like that. They didn't think of him as a person," he said.
"He was straightforward, modest, super kind," he said. "He was adorable ... Everyone liked him.
"I didn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. I didn't want to believe it."
Mr Merabet, originally from Livry-Gargan, had been a fully-trained police officer for eight years. His family have said they wish to bury him at a large Muslim cemetery north-east of Paris.
"No one condones acts like this," his friend Mr Mezine said.
"He was such a smiling boy. He said he wanted to start a family. And he was going to get married in the spring. It's terrible.
"Two years ago, my 16-year-old nephew came from Bordeaux for the holidays. He was here in the restaurant all by himself. I asked Ahmed if he would chat to him for a bit and they stayed talking for two hours.
"Despite the age gap – the policeman and the boy from the banlieues (the suburbs)."
Mr Mezine added that the attackers had not cared that the policeman was a fellow Muslim.
"Muslim or not Muslim, they just saw the uniform and killed him," he said. "He was wearing a uniform and representing France, so they don't look at religion."
Mehenni Mezine, another trader on the Rue de Lappe, said Mr Merabet had given his life to save others.
"These men who hide behind masks are not men," he said. "To do this to a human being without defence, to say 'it's good, chief' ... These are savages, they are barbarians ... It is an abomination."
"They are not men. The man who is dead, that was a man."
Mr Merabet worked a local beat and was popular among bar staff and shopkeepers in the area.
The group plan to make signs, "Je Suis Ahmed" to place alongside the "Je Suis Charlie" signs that have become the symbol of the tragedy.
"We are all Charlie, whether we are Muslim or not," he said. "We are not scared of barbarians like that. We have the right to express ourselves. We are all Charlie and we are all Ahmed."
Flowers, candles and pens were placed yesterday at the spot where Mr Merabet died, as well outside the Charlie Hebdo headquarters where hundreds of mourners held a minute's silence at midday.
Tributes were also paid to protection officer Franck Brinsolaro, a married father of two tasked to guard the magazine's director Stephane Charbonnier, who had been subjected to repeated death threats.
Police sources said on Thursday that the bodyguard had been shot dead before he had a chance to respond.
At a ceremony in Marseille, his brother Phillipe tearfully pleaded with French citizens to rally against those responsible for the killings.
"Sometimes one has the feeling that the police are poorly understood by citizens, but we must not forget that the gesture yesterday shows that, in any case, a police officer on every occasion will intervene when he needs to protect the nation," he said.
The daughter of 80-year-old George Wolinski, one of the cartoonists murdered in the attack, shared a poignant photograph of his empty desk.
Elsa Wolinski's tribute to her Tunisian-born father showed a pen on a blank sheaf of paper beside a notebook, with the caption: "Dad is gone, not Wolinski."
"I never thought you could kill artists," she told a French radio station. "I don't think you can kill ideas."
She added: "He was a man who was afraid. He was scared of what would happen to society, and of the world he was leaving to his grandchildren."

ASIC wants to talk a new language with NLP
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) wants to learn if Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology can assist it in regulating the corporate landscape. It has issued tender that focusses on a specific subset of AI, natural language processing (NLP), to help with tasks such as drafting correspondence, monitoring text translations of sales calls and reviewing Product Disclosure Statement documents.
According to CapTech, an IT management consulting company, growing numbers of businesses are adopting natural language processing (NLP), the technology that underlies virtual assistants such as Amazon's Alexa.
ASIC wants to undertake a series of trials in 2018 that will allow it to assess how NLP technology works and help it to evaluate its potential to lighten its workload in enforcing and regulating company and financial services laws.
Clamping down on poor financial advice is one of ASIC's major priorities. One of the tasks it wants NLP technology to help with is the time-consuming and costly manual reviews of client files containing records of financial advice.
ASIC undertakes a significant number of file reviews each year, typically on a sampling basis. These files include multiple documents including: Product Disclosure Statements; application forms; a record of the circumstances of the client, file notes from discussions; and the Statement of Advice (SoA).
A selected sample of client files are examined manually by ASIC officers. The regulator wants to assess the ability of NLP technology to provide automated data review of a larger number of files, with key risk indicators identifying files for further investigation or to refine ASIC targeting of client file reviews.
Another onerous task that could be undertaken more efficiently via AI is ASIC's reviewing of the advertising and promotion of financial products.
The job of reviewing advertising from radio, TV, print, billboards and online is currently undertaken manually.
"As social media advertising is often targeted to individuals based on their browsing history, ASIC is only getting an exposure to a small fraction of the promotions. This means that there is a potential gap that ASIC is not reviewing."
When ASIC reviewers find an issue of concern, their first step is to draft an initial letter to the financial entity setting these out.
As part of the trials, ASIC wants to discover if NLP technology can not only help it monitor advertising across all media, including social media, but also automate as far as practical the drafting of initial correspondence.
Additional tasks that ASIC plans to address in the NLP trial include:
- Speedier and more compressive review of voice to text translations of mandatory recordings of sales calls for general and life insurance products
- Automated review of analysis of managed funds' product disclosure statements (PDSs), which currently require manual collation and reading and comprehension of text, a time-consuming and subjective process.
- The ability to extract unstructured financial information in searchable-PDF financial reports and smartly map information into a more structured taxonomy.

James Press, the president of Chrysler, spoke to the Economic Club of Chicago on Thursday and gave a forecast even scarier than many people in Detroit expected.
Mr. Press said Chrysler is planning on the current auto sales climate to continue for the next four years, according to Jeff Flock of Fox Business News, which reported on his remarks.
In fact, Mr. Press said, the industry may look back at January 2009 as "the good old days."
The company expects auto sales this year of about 10 million vehicles, which would be the worst since the early 1980s, but Mr. Press said sales could dip lower than that, according to Fox Business. He told the audience that Chrysler plans to ride out the decline, despite speculation that it may be unable to do so.
It has been hit hardest among the Detroit companies by the slump in sales that began last summer. In January, Chrysler sales in the United States fell 55 percent. The company ended 2008 with sales of 1.45 million vehicles, down 30 percent.
Many analysts said they believed that the difficult sales climate will continue through 2009 and perhaps into 2010, but see auto sales improving after that. But should Mr. Press's prediction comes true, that would mean a longer recession than the industry has seen in decades.
Chrysler and General Motors must submit the outlines of viability plans on Tuesday to the Treasury Department, which will consider whether the companies can draw more in federal assistance. The plans must be complete by March 31.
Each automaker was granted a loan by the Bush administration in December. G.M. has received $9.4 billion and expects to get $4 billion more, while Chrysler has received $4 billion and is hoping to get another $3 billion.
Mr. Press said the company was making "good progress" in discussions with suppliers and dealers, but continues to hold negotiations with bondholders and the United Automobile Workers union.

Skincare products can only do so much in protecting you from things like acne, Sun damage, ageing, and dullness. In fact in the long run, the chemicals in them can do a lot of harm than good. On the other hand, fresh organic fruits are nature's gifts for your body. In Ayurveda, they classify as 'Sattvic' food that promotes health and beauty. Loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, these delicious foods nourish, cleanse and beautify you from the inside. So, we've put together this list of the 6 best fruits for glowing skin to include in your beauty regimen.
Beauty Superfoods – Top 5 Fruits For Glowing Skin
1. Oranges
Oranges are among the best fruits for skin. As you may already know, they're a rich source of vitamin C. This vitamin, also an antioxidant, helps your body produce collagen – an important protein that makes skin more elastic, firm, and young looking. Oranges also have plenty of citric acid that has astringent (drying) effects, which helps clear out acne and make it glow. You can rub the peels on your skin, drink its delicious juice, or simply munch on the fruit.
2. Avocados
Next up, avocados, a wonderful fruit for glowing skin. These fruits are packed with healthy fat. And they are a storehouse of antioxidants like beta-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E. If you have dull and dry skin, go ahead and apply avocado oil onto it for some much-needed moisturisation and a healthy glow. You're likely to see a difference in just a matter of a week! Include them in your diet to detoxify your skin.
3. Papaya
Papaya is popular among the fruits good for skin – hundreds of skincare products include it as an ingredient. This tropical fruit contains loads of nutrients your skin loves. The vitamin A in it gets rid of dryness and improves texture; vitamin C, as we mentioned, boosts collagen; potassium hydrates and moisturises. And papaya has a powerful enzyme called papain. Papain can rejuvenate your skin from the inside by fighting inflammation, promoting exfoliation, getting rid of acne, and adding smoothness. Eat papaya a few times a week, or simply mash it and apply it onto your skin for a gorgeous glow.
4. Indian Gooseberry a.k.a Amla
Did you know that this Ayurvedic superfood is the richest source of vitamin C? With its powerful detoxifying abilities, amla is one of the best fruits for glowing skin. We all know that the healthier your body is from within, the more beautiful you can look on the outside. Amla makes this possible by improving your digestion, helping your body flush out impurities, and boosting your immunity. It tackles dullness, dryness, signs of ageing, and may even reduce Sun damage. Eat the fruit of drink a glass of amla juice everyday.
5. Bananas
Last on our list of fruits for glowing skin is bananas. We love them because they're so easy to carry around with you and munch on food a boost in energy as well as beauty. Bananas have vitamins A, B, C, and E as well as potassium and fibre. Eat a banana a day for freedom from acne, blemishes, and premature signs of ageing. Their peels are particularly moisturising for dry skin that misses its glow. Simply rub them on your skin.
