"Modal age at death" means the age at which the largest number of individual deaths occur. The modal age at death is determined by the interaction of two factors, the increasing risk to each individual with advancing age, and the decreasing number of individuals still alive with advancing age. As a population of adults gets older, each person is at ever increasing risk of death, so at first the number of deaths at each age goes up. But eventually, even though individual risk is still increasing, the number of people experiencing that risk is going down so fast that the number of deaths at each age (what demographers call dx) goes down. So modal age at death is neither at the age with the most individuals or the age at the highest risk, but somewhere in between. And studying the modal age at death, how it varies between populations and over time can tell demographers many useful things that I'm not going to go into because I am more interested in subverting the paradigm.
The paradigm in this case is that modal age at death is some time in
early old-age, when death rate is going up but not too many people have
died yet. Except that often it hasn't been. If one looks at life-tables for historical populations of humans, the highest dx (by far) is often d0, the number of individuals who die before their first birthday. Put another way, far more people died between birth and their 1st birthday than during any other year of age. The Human Mortality Database (the world's premier source for data on this sort of thing) estimates that of the baby girls born in Sweden between 1751 and 1759, slightly over 20% died in their first year. To put in perspective how the resulting distribution of deaths over age looks, please glance at this graph:
How far back does this go? Well it is 0 for hunter gather populations. It is zero for wild primates. It is zero for other mammals. It is zero for.... As far as I can tell, modal age at death has been zero for almost every population of almost every kind of organism for the entire history of life on earth. Contemporary wealthy humans still suffer much higher mortality in our first year than at any other pre-adult age, but infant mortality has been gradually brought down over the last centuries, so far that somewhere in the 1930s and '40s, many of the world's nations unknowingly broke with hundreds of millions of years of tradition by having a modal age of death that wasn't zero. So the right question to ask may well be not, "how did they adjust to zero being the mode?" but rather, "how are we adjusting to zero not being the mode?" And my impression is that one important way that we have adjusted is by very gladly forgetting that things were ever different than they are now.
Seen another way though, we haven't changed the modal age at death at all. If one is willing to classify the loss of an embryo or fetus as a death, modal age at death has never been zero. It has always been, and remains, -1. Minus one because far more individuals are lost in the year prior to birth (even if only nine months) than the year after it, or any other age. Where before many cultures avoided naming newborns until a week or month or even a year had passed, we still often avoid it for those not yet born, for the same set of emotional (some say superstitious) reasons.
Will science progress to the point that we feel safe naming that recently implanted embryo, knowing that she will almost surely make it? Perhaps. If so, modal age at death will finally, at long last, be in the age range that my demographer friends like to consider.

Do not restrict your practices to zone defense. Most of the NBA Live Mobile game will probably be played in this zone, but your opponent may try to switch things up to do man-to-man coverage. If you haven't practiced against it, you could lose any control you have over the game.

Passing between the legs is great when you have defense all over you.You can train for this technique by stepping forward or backward and bouncing the ball with force between your legs. Mastering this movement gives you a major advantage on the court.
To get more out of layups, begin your takeoff on the foot opposite from the hand you're shooting with. This will keep your body and allows you to use yourself as a barrier between the defender and yourself.
Your forearms and hands should be strengthened in order for you wish to handle the ball better.Wrist curls can work good if you wish to start handling the ball. You will not be able to stand and shoot. You have to start moving the NBA Live Mobile to make things to happen.
Good footwork will help you get those rebounds. The defender in your path will be moving at you, so try to slip by them to obtain the ball. This will get you a rebound without getting penalized for a foul.

From the players to the spectators, everyone has a part in a game. The player's role is to give the team his all. Remember these tips to become that player that is wanted on all teams.

Goldman's Rehab
Lloyd Blankfein is starting to worry about his legacy. The 55-year-old chief executive of Goldman Sachs -- three-plus years into his tenure -- recently turned to a Texas corporate p.r. firm to buff the image of the tarnished Wall Street powerhouse. Turning to outside consultants to gauge a firm's "perception in the marketplace" is unusual for the 140-year-old firm. But that's what you do, even if you are Masters of the Universe, when the national and international media accuse you of engineering and profiting from a back-door rescue of AIG, of using cash from a taxpayer bailout and cheap Federal Reserve financing to help finance lavish bonuses, and taking down the entire Greek economy.

When I think of New Zealand, I think of the great locations they used to film the Lord Of The Rings movies. I also think of Flight Of The Conchords, a very funny show that used to be on HBO. The main characters, Bret and Jemaine are from New Zealand. So when I saw my local beer store had a brew from New Zealand, I knew I just had to try it. I knew it was business time (Flight Of The Conchords reference)!
Beer #117 is that beer and it is named The Big Smoke. It is brewed by 8 Wired Brewing Company hailing from New Zealand in the style of a Smoked Beer. The ABV of this is 6.2%.
Black was the color, nonexistent was the head. The nose consisted of chocolate malts with a hint of smoke. I have to be honest, on smell alone my mouth was watering. The taste was strong roasted coffee and dark bitter chocolate with a really nice smokiness going on. The smokiness followed through in the aftertaste along with a nice chocolate flavor. It had a body that wasn't light or medium but somewhere in between. It was nice and smooth with some moderate carbonation. Super drinkable to me, I could enjoy this all night long. I wish I had another bomber or three on hand.
It seems like it has been a long time since I have had a Kingly brew but I'm happy to say this beer was one indeed. This was a fantastic beer and a great way to finish off the week. The only thing that held it back slightly for me was that I wish it had a heavier smoky presence. Still, you can't go wrong with this porter… it was absolutely delicious and a beer I think Bret and Jemaine of the Conchords would be proud of. Murray would also approve.

There's just something about public transportation that put people in a certain mood when they are trying to get to work. There are different types of people that ride the bus. Young, old, and children. I remeber when bus fare used to be 50 cents and now you have to pay two dollars for one way. It have its pros and cons when taking the bus.
Pros: Low fare to get to where you have to go. Some buses you can connect your Wi-Fi to. Sometimes they be on time. Children ride for free. Senior citizen discount.
Cons: Sometimes you can be sitting next to a drink, smelly, or talkative person. It runs late. Sometimes it doesn't come at all. Expose to foul language around kids.
The route will take you around the world pass your stop, verses the amount of time you can get there by a car. You lucky if you live right on the route line. If you don't , sometimes you have to walk a couple miles to get to your house. Which is good exercise. Don't let it be snowing or raining. Those be the days they want to run super late.
Route 107 is the worst route that I've come across. People be fighting and carrying on. Sometimes people don't respect the fact that there are children on the bus and that they're exposing them to such foul language.
Then they turn around and wonder why the own kids got such potty mouths. Some bus drivers have attitudes when you ask them questions about the routes. I mean isn't that what they are there for? They take customer service to a whole other level.
Although HRT have their hang-ups, in life things do happen to where you have to rely on them. Your car can break down or you don't have no car. You can have issues with your license.
Cabs cost too much, so HRT will be the lowest to commute. You just have to make sure that you double that time riding the bus, because trust me its twice as long as riding in your own vehicle.
On Sundays and holiday schedules they run really funny, like for instance the route 118 stop running at 8pm verses the other routes like the 107 and 106 that stops at 12o'clock midnight. If you are not from VA I advise you to be prepared taking these bus routes. It can be a fickle thing.

Here we go again, as Blaise Matuidi to Manchester United has become a thing again.
This time, it's according to Rai Sport in Italy, relayed by Le10 Sport, who claim that Mino Raiola, the Frenchman's agent, is 'already working' on a transfer to Old Trafford for his client.
Apparently, this comes after José Mourinho was impressed with his performances for Juventus, which has led to the Manchester United manager wanting him under his command in the north of England.
In fact, according to another relay, this time by TuttoMercatoWeb, Rai Sport go as far as saying the Red Devils are in 'constant contact' with Raiola about it.
However, this appears to all be happening without the consent or knowledge of the Serie A side, who will have the final say in the matter, considering Matuidi is under contract there until 2020.
What we find strange here is the fact Rai Sport seem to think Mourinho's appreciation for the France international's services is something new when Manchester United were constantly linked with him last summer and the summer before that and… you get the gist.
The 30-year-old has become a key member of Max Allegri's side since his arrival from Paris Saint-Germain last summer, scoring two goals and picking up two assists in 36 appearances.

Toyota, Lexus expanding Takata airbag recall, re-notifying customers
Toyota is re-notifying owners and expanding its Takata airbag inflator recall for some regions. The renewed campaign covers 247,000 examples of the Toyota Corolla, Matrix, Sequoia, Tundra and Lexus SC430 that are located in southern Florida, along the Gulf Coast, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, the US Virgin Islands, Guam, Saipan and American Samoa. All of the models come from the 2001-2004 model years and have potentially faulty Takata-made inflators on the front passenger side. According to the company,
Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, includi
Toyota expands airbag recall to 2.27M vehicles worldwide [UPDATE]
Was your Toyota inspected under the company's recall campaign for faulty airbag inflators last year? You might have another trip ahead to have it repaired again. The automotive giant says that it found "the involved serial numbers provided by the supplier were incomplete, and did not include all of the potentially involved inflators," according to its official announcement. That means more replacements are needed.
Toyota, Honda, Mazda and Nissan recall 3.4 million vehicles for faulty airbags
Most vehicle recalls that take place these days are a result of some problem that happens during the manufacturing process by the automaker, but as we see here, parts suppliers can also factor in to problematic safety issues. Automotive News is reporting that a total of 3.4 million vehicles produced by Japanese automakers between 2000 and 2004 are being recalled globally due to faulty airbags produced by an outside supplier, Takata Corp.
Consumer Reports may restore Toyota "Recommended" ratings next week
Consumer Reports may be ready to offer a vote of confidence in Toyota, depending on the outcome of the Japanese automaker's current Congressional Hearings on Toyota Safety here in the United States, says CR Senior Director David Champion.

Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse in which false information is presented with the intent of making a victim doubt his or her own memory, perception, and sanity.
. . .You're being told that the gun control measures they want to take are "reasonable" and reflective of "common sense," yet your own common sense makes it clear not a single measure being suggested would have prevented any of the mass shootings we've seen.

4 Reasons You Should Tint Your Sliding Doors
Plenty of homes have large sliding doors, but too few homeowners understand the benefits that come with opting for window tinting for those doors. From lower monthly energy bills to improved home security, sliding door tinting is worth the cost and then some.
Here are just four good reasons why you should consider having those sliding doors tinted.
1. Added Privacy and Security
One of the great things about sliding doors is being able to enjoy uninterrupted views out over your property and the land beyond, especially if your sliding doors happen to be above the ground floor. Unfortunately, other people can see in just as easily as you can see out. In fact, better outward views often make your own property easier to look into. You can enjoy the view without sacrificing privacy by adding window tinting. From the inside, you'll take in those same stunning views. From the outside, only a reflective surface can be seen. That's not just great for privacy – it also enhances home security since potential burglars won't be able to see inside.
2. Cut Down on Glare
While the view from your sliding doors can be great, you'll have to deal with plenty of glare when the sun is shining straight through. This can make sitting in the room to talk, read a book, or watch TV feel unbearable. Far better to add tinting that lets in sunlight but cuts down on the glare. Instead of shielding your eyes or struggling to see the telly, you'll be totally comfortable and relaxed.
3. Protect Your Furniture and Carpet
Sunlight contains plenty of UV rays – those are the things that cause sunburn or even skin cancer when you go outside without wearing any sun tan lotion. What you might not realise is how they affect your furniture and furnishings. From wool carpet to leather armchair, direct sunlight causes fading and premature wear. That's probably something you want to avoid, so it's smart to cut down on UV rays by adding tinting to your sliding doors.
4. Reduce Your Bills
Window tinting reflects light away, so it also helps keep your home cooler. During the summer, running the A/C non-stop can send your energy bills skyrocketing. Your sliding doors aren't much help since they let in so much of the sun and don't provide very effective insulation. Window tints reflect that heat away, so you'll wake up to a cooler home and open up lower energy bills.

Ukrainian grain export decreased significantly in March
During first decade of March 2014 they sent abroad by ship 503,6 thousand t of grain and during first decade of previous month its sea export made 887,1 thousand tons
Till now grain export speed from Ukraine was record high and the export itself this season according to information of Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food exceeded rate of 25 mln t.
The results of current cereals transshipment by national ports, known as of today to informational company "ProAgro", allow if not affirm then suppose that in the nearest perspective the speed of national agroexport may start falling. The probable reason may appear to be continuous social and political crisis in Ukraine, and face-off in Crimea affects lightly grain export shipment process.
Upon preliminary data got by informational company "ProAgro" from sources in ports, during first decade of March 2014 they sent abroad by ship 503,6 thousand tons of grain and during first decade of previous month its sea export made 887,1 thousand tons. Thus reduction of foreign-trade cereals supplies made over 380 thousand tons.
The significance of this reduction may be illustrated by data of sea cereals export during February and January 2014. Thus, last month they supplied abroad by ship 2217 thousand tons of grain and in January – 2433,2 thousand tons correspondingly. This means that monthly reduction of export volume in February was less than reduction during just one decade of March. And this reduction cannot be explained by pure decrease of cereals stocks of manufacturers and season fall of export volume.
The picture of grain shipment in ports is more anxious. According preliminary data during first decade of March Khersonskiy, Nikolayevskiy and Sevastopolskiy sea ports sent none a ton of grain for export. And transshipment volume in Dnepro-Bugskiy port during this period decreased almost three times (33 thousand tons comparing to 83,9 thousand tons for first decade of February 2014), Reny port – almost twice, for 53,7% - "Yuzhniy" sea port and for 10% by Illichevskiy port. The only port which increased export shipment in first decade of March was Odesskiy one; they processed 155 thousand tons of grain comparing to 81 thousand tons for the period of February 1-10, 2014.
At the same time the provided data are preliminary and may be elaborated later on. Thus, 10-days period is not very representative for comparison because before the end of the month exporters and port workers may make up leeway volumes. Meanwhile, the fixed decrease of export supply looks anxious but logical. In condition of reasonable devaluation of national currency manufacturers and grain owners reduced its supply for inner market down to minimum, expecting for further development of situation. At present time economies and farmers set out small car parties of grain for minimal replenishment of floating assets. Such parties are not interesting for exporters who prefer to buy grain in big volume.
Thus, not the situation in ports or Crimea peninsula but decrease of grain supply from inner market to ports may be the main reason for export development breaking. The parties of grain proposed in ports find their purchaser fast – export demand is still high.
Earlier our colleagues and we informed on worry of western traders on possible reduction of cereals supplies from Ukraine due to escalation of conflict at Crimea peninsula. The conflict caused sharp heightening of exchange rates for cereals and oil-bearing at world future exchanges on certain days.
Traders' worries were connected not only to possible break in cereals export logistics of Ukraine but also to possible default on contracts due to hryvna devaluation and deterrence of grain sale by manufacturers who wait for higher price.
But there is also good news. In the first decade of March sea export of sunflower oil increased up to 99,9 thousand tons that is 12,4% more than during first 10 days of last month. But one should note that foreign-trade operations "revived" export price rising – thus, during last two weeks raw sunflower oil at FOB Black Sea ports increased in price for $50/t.
We suppose that if in March-April home-policy situation has no escalation and hryvna course becomes stable, grain and other crops export will come to ordinary channel. The spring field campaign needs significant financial resources and this will stimulate grain sales both at inner and foreign market.

Christmas was very quiet, just Marble Man, me, and the dog. We could barely wait for 12:01 AM to arrive Christmas morning when we began to tear into our presents. The dog was a BIG help there - he just can't stand to see a present all wrapped up. He's gotta tear a corner off the paper on each gift. Everyone was so thoughtful - we thank all of you. One of my favorite gifts came from my Mom, who proved, once again, that she's a great listener!
In 1991, Marble Man and I went to our local museum to view an Alphonse Mucha exhibit.
Oh, how I adore the man's work! (Find more about him here.) When I told Mom about the exhibit, she filed it away in that steel trap she calls a brain. Lo these many years later, imagine my surprise when I opened one of her gifts to find a calendar featuring some of Mucha's pieces. I get to enjoy that all year long!
I don't make New Year's Resolutions because I rarely keep them past the first week, but this is one I'll actively pursue: I'm going to add more beauty to my life each day. I'll look in the oddest of places for small joys, I'll find them, and hold them close. And I'll start by looking at my closet door each morning...
Happy New Year, Dear Friends!

Common Writing Mistakes - Are These Holding You Back From Writing Success?Common Writing Mistakes - Are These Holding You Back From Writing Success?
by Marg McAlister
During the years that I've been teaching writing and participating in writers' critique sessions, I've seen some real talent. There are writers who produce such sparkling prose that you know publication is only a matter of time.
There are others who have wonderful ideas, terrific plots and lively characters—but who may never see their work in print. The reason? They are making one or more writing mistakes that will cause an editor to toss their writing aside. Often, when these mistakes are brought to the writer's attention, she makes comments like 'I can't believe I didn't pick that up!' or 'Oh no, I feel so stupid'.
It's so easy to see those mistakes when they're pointed out to us—but it's also far too easy to go on for years doing the same thing if we're not alerted to the problem.
Here are some of the most common writing mistakes. Read through them to see if there's a clue here about what might be stopping you from getting a 'yes'!
Technical Mistakes—Grammar, Spelling and Punctuation
1. Changes in tense.
The writer starts in the present tense then slips into past tense or vice versa. Sometimes this happens only once during the scene or story; sometimes the tenses switch back and forth all the way through. Tip: Quite often this happens after the writer has moved into the present tense to show the character's thoughts. For example:
Laura ran down the steps. She shaded her eyes and stared down the road. There was a plume of dust at the bend. Is that Robin? Will he remember me?
She races off to meet the car, her heart leaping.
2. Changes in person.
The writer starts off in third person then slips into first person:
Laura was incredibly happy. She had never expected to see Robin again. Now he was here, looking taller and more handsome than ever.
I flew into his arms. "Robin! You're here!"
"Laura,' he acknowledged stiffly. He didn't return my hug.
Often this occurs at dramatic or emotional moments, when the writer tends to identify more strongly with the viewpoint character. Sometimes, as with changes in tense, it follows the use of the character's thoughts.
3. Misuse of the apostrophe
This is an incredibly common mistake. If your manuscript is peppered with apostrophes in the wrong place (or you leave them out altogether) you won't create a good impression. Some people seem to think that every word ending in 's' should have an apostrophe in it—so you get odd constructions like this:
Laura recognized the suitcase. It was her's all right, with it's broken clasp. She'd used it to store all of Robin's letter's to her.
In particular, learn to differentiate between the possessive pronoun its and the contraction it's. The possessive pronoun never has an apostrophe. (She recognized its broken clasp.) The contraction it's (which is short for it is or it has) always has an apostrophe. It's quite easy to work out which is which — if you can substitute the longer form 'it is' or 'it has', then use it's. If you cannot substitute these expressions, then you are using the possessive pronoun which does not require an apostrophe.
4. Spelling.
Your first resource is the spell check on your computer. However, this won't pick up everything—if you've made a typo that is also a real word (such as typing 'met' instead of 'meet') the spell check won't pick it up. Nor will it pick up the use of 'beach' instead of 'beech', since both are real words. If you know that spelling is a weakness, try to get a friend who is a strong speller to check your work.
Mistakes in Style
1. Head-hopping.
The writer decides it would be nice if the reader could be privy to what was going on in everyone's mind, so hops blithely from one head to another. (I've seen stories with half a dozen viewpoints in one page.) Sometimes it works to let the reader know what is going on in the minds of two characters in a scene, but use this very carefully or you can lose your reader. You'll get much more emotional punch into your work if you let the reader 'become' your viewpoint character, seeing everything (and feeling everything) from one person's point of view.
2. Overuse of 'As…', '...as…' and '...ing'
Check your work to make sure it is not sprinkled with sentences that begin with 'As…' or '...ing' words, or that have 'as' joining two actions. Usually this has the effect of slowing the pace and setting the reader at a distance. The participle construction ('...ing' words) has a particularly amateurish flavour when placed at the beginning of a sentence. When you can, use alternatives.
3. Overuse of qualifiers
Some writers like to use liberal doses of words like 'very', 'extremely', 'fairly', 'somewhat' and so on. This weakens your writing. Use strong verbs instead. Rather than 'he was extremely happy', say 'he was delighted'; instead of 'somewhat annoyed' say 'irritated' or 'irked' or 'furious', depending on the degree of annoyance!
4. Dull or stilted narrative.
There are lots of reasons for this one—some of them fit into pacing problems (see following section) as well. However, if your writing seems flat, look at these things:
- Repetitive sentence beginnings. When you revise your work, watch for too many sentences starting with 'He', 'She', or 'I'.
- Repetitive sentence structure. This can apply anywhere in your text. In dialogue, it could be that you're using the same pattern all the time—e.g. speech + tag + action: "I don't think I can do that right now," she said, walking to the door, and "Leave me alone," she yelled, hitting him on the arm.
- Overly formal and correct sentence structure. People don't think in formal sentences and they often speak in sentence fragments. Let your text reflect this.
Mistakes in Plotting and Pacing
1. Starting too early or having too much description in the early pages.
Don't feel you have to explain everything to the reader in the first two pages—or even the first chapter. Yes, you should make it easy for the reader to identify with the main character, and that means giving some pertinent details—but don't feel that you have to give a detailed description of what the character looks like and long-winded descriptions of everything that led up to the present situation. Weave details in at pertinent spots—and never dump in too much information at once.
2. Pace too slow
Pace should be controlled through scenes. Create scenes with plenty of action and conflict, then slow things down to let the character (and the reader) catch his breath by using a 'sequel' - the aftermath of a scene, where the character decides what to do next. If you need to speed things up, keep the sequel short. If you want to slow things down, expand the length of the sequel.
If your story still seems to drag, look at these other things:
- The length of your sentences (too many long sentences slow the pace)
- The amount of description (too flowery? Too wordy? Not allowing the reader to bring their own experiences and knowledge to the scene?)
- The way you handle dialogue (do your characters use overly formal sentences? Do you use too many speech tags or do you have too much narrative between exchanges of dialogue?)
- Your use of flashbacks. Flashbacks always slow the pace. They stop the forward motion of the story while the character remembers something that happens in the past.
- The amount of thinking done by the viewpoint character. She mulls over this and agonises over that until the reader is ready to scream. Think: action!
3. Lack of believable motivation.
It's painfully obvious when the writer is forcing the characters to take action simply because that's what the plot dictates. Treat your characters like real people. Allow them to behave and react in a way that suits their personalities. (For example: don't let your heroine fail to take action just so you can place her in jeopardy, when any sensible human being would yell for help or run like hell.) Don't ever risk having your reader say in disgust 'As if she would really do that!'
4. Writing from an adult's point of view in a children's story
Many adults think they'd like to write for children. However, they forget that kids identify with other kids. Your young readers don't want to be looking on from an adult's point of view when the main character is involved in the action. (Ask: whose story is this? The adult's or the child's?) Learn to look through the eyes of a child. Plot your entire story from a child's viewpoint.
5. Plots that go nowhere.
Beware 'slice of life' stories that are essentially scenes rather than stories. Your story should have a beginning, a middle and an end. There should be conflict and character growth. Make sure there's a story question (your reader keeps turning pages to find out whether the heroine does get her man (or how she gets him) or if young Jack succeeds in finding out what was causing the mysterious noises in the night….)
Mistakes in Editing and Polishing
1. Not leaving enough time to edit.
This is the number one problem with the work not only of beginners but writers at all levels. The temptation to go quickly through that draft 'one last time' so you can get it in the mail is almost overwhelming.
DON'T. Leave your short stories for a week. Leave your novels for at least a month—the longer the better. You need to see your work with fresh eyes. If you've just finished your story, you're far too close to it to be objective. You'd be doing yourself a favour to send it out to a few carefully selected readers when you finish, before you even look at it again.
2. Glossing over plotting problems.
It's easier to fix errors in style than to fix plotting problems. If you strike problems with the plot, it can mean rewriting large chunks of the book. This is painful, so writers avoid it whenever possible. They become 'blind' to their own mistakes more because they don't want to face the pain of a structural edit than because they don't recognize the problems.
The best remedy for this is to ask yourself: 'Would I rather get a rejection from an editor because of the problems I can see myself, or fix them now and have a better chance of getting an acceptance?' Even more pertinent: 'Do I want reviewers to point out the problems with the plot after the book is published, or fix them myself now?'
These are just a few of the common mistakes that writers make. If you belong to a critique group, or you exchange work with another writer, try identifying these and other mistakes in each other's work.

There are three types of people who visit the Tsukiji wholesale fish market :
(a) those who can't be bothered waking up so early. They choose to visit the fish market after 9am when the action is mostly over
(b) those who are able to defy all odds to wake up and get one of the 120 first-come-first-served tickets to the two must-see tuna auctions at 5.25am and 5.50am
(c) those who are able to defy all odds to wake up but fail to get the ticket to the tuna auction.
Unfortunately, I belonged to the last category. Despite waking up at an ungodly hour of 4am, I was faced with the disappointing truth that all tickets were given out when I arrived at 4.50am. So sad because I am not usually a rise and shine girl. It was probably going to be the only day in 2014 that I woke up at such a freaking time. Damage: irreplaceable restorative beauty sleep, disappointing truth that hard work doesn't pay off, and ¥1000 (~S$12) taxi fare (trains don't run before 6am).
So I took a walk in Tsukiji market at 5am, and snapped some pictures before a uniformed security guard rushed to us to inform us that the market is not open for visitors until after 9am.
They used these small and nimble motorised vehicles to move around in the market and transport the freshly caught seafood!
Glorious seafood as fresh as you can get. Freshly caught by hardworking fishermen in the wee hours of morning while we were still in zzz-land.
Really huge tuna!
I love scallops. They are my favourite!
A sushi breakfast at Tsukiji is a must per Lonely Planet. At 5.15am, the queues outside the famous Sushi Dai restaurant and it's next-door neighbor Sushi Daiwa were already formed. Sushi Dai had a much longer queue which continued at the corner of the block after skipping a shop (the photo below doesn't show the end of the queue). I kept in mind the wisdom of a colleague who said Sushi Dai was not worth the time queuing, hence I queued for Sushi Daiwa instead. And got in after 20 min after the first round of customers completed their omakase style sushi breakfast.
|How come these people no need to sleep?
Our chef today. With his limited mix of English and Mandarin, he's still quite entertaining. Kept asking us if it's oiishi (delicious in Japanese).
In no order of preference but in the precise order they were served, I present to you the best sushi of my life:
Toro (tuna) - Very fresh piece that's worthy to be my first bite of the day. It melts!
At that moment I was thinking, "Damn the start is already so good."
Squid - Yup it is as fresh, smooth and chewy as it looks.
|Tuna (left), Ikura (right)
|Prawn head
Kampachi (yellow tail fish)
|Kampachi (left), Otoro (right)
|Tamago (egg)
Akagai (clam) - chef keep saying it is "action". This was also still alive when presented.
The meal ended at 6.15am. I paid ¥4,200 (~ S$50). Thanks to the weakening Yen.
At the end, I asked myself why I visited Sushi Daiwa. Because after that fateful day, sushi will never be the same again. Every piece represented the freshest form of seafood I had ever ate. The chef asked me to come back the next day. I told chef next year.
I went back to the hotel, with the prawn and the clam fighting each other in my tummy. Not sure who won but it must have been a tiring fight because I fell into food coma after that.
Sushi Daiwa (大和寿司)

It has been such a great week in Montreal. The cold is coming so fast, including snow. YES, it started snowing a few times this last weekend. It was crazy. It is almost time for mittens, winter boots and parkas…haha!
This last week our exchanges with the sisters kept us on the island. We witnessed many miracles between our exchanges and our work in the YSA. Our investigators are really progressing . Ugo, sorry not Ego, is doing so well. We were able to teach him twice this last week and then he came to institute and played soccer with all the guys in the branch on Friday night. He is right at home with all the members. Everyone already thinks he is a member. He is super outgoing and nice. Ugo seems to really be loving the Book of Mormon. Last night, we texted him. We invited him to FHE and to see how his studies were going. He texted back and asked, "Is it okay if I am reading really fast or should I take more time to study more deeply?" These are the kind of questions missionaries just love! We get so excited to teach him because we always feel the spirit so strong in Ugo's lessons. We can just feel the love that Heavenly Father has for him! We are praying that he will make his baptismal date for the 7th of November.
Another miracle from this last week is being able to teach a non-member girl who has been coming to church for the past two months. She moved to Montreal from France along with her friend who is a member. We ate with them Saturday night and invited her to start taking the lessons. She was super happy and excited to start. She has already begun reading the Book of Mormon and is enjoying her family history work. She found out that her grandparents are actually Mormon and she didn't even know it! Her name is Marion and her friend is Eole. They are both super french and a little challenging for me to understand sometimes. I am not used to French accents. Quebec has ruined my French…haha! They are both super awesome and nice. I am excited to work with Marion. She seems so ready to learn and progress in the gospel. She is really comfortable with all the sisters in the Relief Society too.
I feel like I am just at home with the YSA. They feel like family. Although, sometimes I feel that I know just a little too much about who is dating who. I try to stay out of the romance drama!
We are all getting pretty excited for this week. We have a Seventy coming up to our mission to do a mission tour. Tonight we have a meeting with him and all the leaders in the mission. Tomorrow, Tuesday, we will have a zone conference with him. His name is Elder Golden. I will let you know how it all goes in next week's letter. We have also started handing our invitations and inviting everyone to the open house. Everyone can't wait for the temple to open!
I think this last week I have realized how blessed I have been to be serving with the young adults. They have strengthened my testimony so much! All the members seem to help me in different ways. I feel like they all have such strong and powerful testimonies. I see a difference here than being in a Utah, YSA. I am not putting down the YSA in Utah, but here you can see how the members need to be strong and firm in their testimonies. They are the examples for their friends/family who may not always share the same standards and beliefs as them. They are such a close, strong group and they radiate a light and energy that is just contagious…I love it!
I hope you all have a great week and enjoy the pictures!
Avec Amour,
Soeur Hunt

|Last night's Long Eared Owl (Asio otus) - Photo: Abbi MacDonald
We woke this morning to find Anders, Heidi and Johan with nets full of goldcrests! (fuglekonge). There were flocks of them absolutely everywhere today. The fields around the station were full of them. They made up the majority of the 480 birds ringed today, although there were also the usual blue tits (blåmejse), robins (rødhals), wrens (gærdesmutte) and dunnocks (jernspurv).
We had another few bullfinch (dompap) and I also ringed my first goldfinch (stilits)! Interestingly we also caught another very late, first year, male, redstart (rødstjert). The ring ouzel (ringdrossel) that was flying frustratingly close to the nets refused to be caught and at around one o'clock rain set in and the nets had to be closed.
...until now! Owl nets are open again and a tawny owl (natugle) has been heard in the garden!

An amateur photographer's daily blog sharing favorite photos and stories discovered through her digital camera's viewfinder.

Northern Lights
As Neil Diamond likes to sing, "Hello again. Hello."
I've been on a blog (and photography) sabbatical for a few months, but I believe it's come to an end now. So if it's alright with you, I'd like to pick up where we left off and start sharing photos, thoughts and stories again here on Via My Viewfinder.
This past weekend, I went to the Kennedy Center to check out their "Nordic Cool" events and exhibits. Each year, the Kennedy Center spends several weeks at the beginning of the year on a different culture.
For 2013, they focused on the Nordic culture and exhibited art, music, dance and other types of artistic performances from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden as well as the territories of Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and Áland Islands.
As part of the Nordic Cool festivities, each night the exterior of the Kennedy Center is lit blue and a simulation of the Northern Lights is displayed on its walls. It is a pretty spectacular view from Roosevelt Bridge, which runs alongside the Center, when driving to and from the District. Even up close, as you can see in today's photograph, it is still beautiful.

is as simple as this
I have many Biz-Ops that I am involved with, now instead of trying to shove them down your throat one by one with some asinine auto-responder campaign why not just let you choose which ones you like and think are worthwhile. Let's face it some people are better suited to some programs and vise versa.
If you have Banner Ads not shown here, send them over and I'll post them. They will stay until someone else asks for that spot just as you are untitled to ask for spots you see now. Tell me which ones and I'll switch the ID's. I will continue to do this until the list of banners gets to large to manage or request for additions or changes become too frequent. For now this is a great training tool for my HTML students.
I have separated some Biz-Op Banners in twenty-one sets. Some are not my own but are programs of friends that I include because they flesh out what then becomes a training course of twenty-one steps. You need not use the 21 Steps as/for training, however you are welcome to if you like. Just ask.
So there it is, Now if you choose to "pick Up" any three of these Biz-Ops I will pass to you three of my students as Referrals, You pick three programs and I give you three referrals.

Nonparametric estimation for pure jump irregularly sampled or noisy Lévy processes
Nonparametric estimation for pure jump irregularly sampled or noisy Lévy processes - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
1 MAP5 - MAP5 - Mathématiques Appliquées à Paris 5
Abstract : In this paper, we study nonparametric estimation of the Lévy density for pure jump Lévy processes. We consider $n$ discrete time observations that may be irregularly sampled or possibly corrupted by a small noise independent of the main process. The case of non noisy observations with regular sampling interval has been studied by the authors in previous works which are the benchmark for the extensions proposed here. We study first the case of a regular sampling interval and noisy data, then the case of irregular sampling for non noisy data. In each case, non adaptive and adaptive estimators are proposed and risk bounds are derived.

The Value of Truth?
I find myself repeating the song "Lie" by David Cook whenever it is played on my iPod. I don't know why I insist on repeating it, because I don't even agree with the lyrics of the song.
You whispered that you were getting tired
Got a look in your eye
Looks a lot like goodbye.
Hold on to your secrets tonight.
Don't want to know I'm ok with this silence
It's truth that I don't want to hear
You're only deluding yourself. What's the point in holding on when you know that it is ending in the first place? Would it make a difference if you say it outright or not? Why would anyone prefer to delay the pain? What's the difference if it happens now or later? You are already suffering in the first place, wouldn't you prefer that it's over and done with? So that you can move on with your life sooner? This is why I find the lyrics stupid.
So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be alright
So lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night
I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
So look me in the eye
And lie lie lie.
But if I think that it's a stupid song, why on earth do I repeat this song over and over again?
Maybe some part of me can relate to the song. Maybe some part of me prefers being lied upon, instead of hearing the harsh truth. Maybe if I didn't insist on the truth, it would be less painful.
Maybe in certain circumstances, lying isn't so bad.

A recent study shows that, despite the fact that the country is six years out from the crisis that put financial services providers in a highly negative light, the public continues to have a pessimistic view of the industry and the organizations involved.
In a first of its kind study, researchers were able to find scientific evidence to prove a long-standing hypothesis that IT and technology professionals across a wide range of industries prefer an integrated solution composed of hardware, software and services over a piece-by-piece approach. This philosophy has solid technological roots, as it was originated and supported by Oracle CEO Larry Ellison and the late Steve Jobs, co-founder, chairman and CEO of Apple.
In recent news, The Federal Trade Commission found that Consumer Portfolio Services (CPS), a subprime auto finance lender, used a number of "illegal tactics" while servicing customer accounts and attempting to collect on consumer loans. The company will pay more than $5.5 million to settle the charges that affected over 160,000 accounts. According to the FTC's findings, CPS was found in violation of servicing loans by misrepresenting owed fees, collecting on monies that borrowers did not owe, improper assessment and collection of fees – including making unauthorized debits from borrowers' bank accounts and harassment of consumers.
There's bad news on the horizon for many homeowners who currently have home equity loans. According to a recent article in the New York Times, when these home equity lines of credit (HELOC) reach their 10-year anniversaries, they are resetting. The reset causes the borrower to reach even deeper into his wallet and not only pay interest on the loan, but also pay on the principal. Borrowers might see their monthly payments triple because of this reset – which is especially daunting for individuals and families who are in subprime loans.
Good news for consumer auto lenders, with vehicle sales on the rise, consumer satisfaction with financing providers continues to increase. According to J.D. Power's 2013 U.S. Consumer Financing Satisfaction Study, roughly 95% of auto consumers indicated that, thanks to a positive customer service experience, they would patronize the same lender when purchasing a new vehicle or recommend them to a friend or family member. The study's subjects – representing buyers of luxury as well as non-luxury vehicles – pointed out satisfaction with lender communication, prompt account updates, and customer service as the most important factors in a satisfying car financing experience. In the crowded retail automotive industry, consumers are faced with many choices when looking for auto financing. Consumers are looking for more than just a good interest rate – they are also looking for positive onboarding and easy finance servicing experiences.
CEB is the leading member-based advisory company. By combining the best practices of thousands of member companies with its advanced research methodologies and human capital analytics, they equip senior leaders and their teams with insight and actionable solutions to transform operations.
Customer billing and payments are as much an opportunity to provide excellent customer service as they are a core operational and accounting function. Leading companies leverage their billing and payments process to achieve far more than just the collections of payments; they use techniques to forge stronger customer relationships and gain greater insight into customer wants and needs.
I recently attended a technology symposium featuring an enterprise collaboration software suite. The audience was composed of Information Technology (IT), business analysts, industry consultants, media, and executives across industries. The common thread among attendees was the fact that they were using the collaboration suite or were interested in implementation.
Companies that depend on document-based communications are struggling to keep up with the demands of customers and regulators. Customers have a heightened expectation of superior customer service, on and offline. They expect their service providers to be in touch with technical capabilities that will provide better, customized customer experiences and faster issue resolution.
As enterprise communication strategies play a bigger role in customer experience and loyalty, there is an increased need to re-engineer the end-to-end processes for managing core servicing document output to resolve document related issues at their origin.
