Your Input Needed: Are There Theories that Predict Variabilities of Individual Differences?
Input please about this individual-differences question.
Suppose I have a few tasks, say Task A, Task B, Task C, etc.. These tasks can be any tasks, but for the sake of concreteness, let's assume each is a two-choice task that yields accuracy as a dependent measure with chance being .5 and ceiling being 1. Suppose I choose task parameters so that each task yields a mean accuracy across participants of .75.
Here is an example: Task A might be a perception task where I flash letters and mask them, and the participant has to decide whether the letter has a curved element, like in Q but not in X. Task B might be a recognition memory task where the participant decides if items were previously studied or new. By playing with the duration of the flash in the first task and the number of memoranda in the second task, I can set up the experiments so that the mean performance across people is near .75.
If we calculate the variability across individuals, can you predict which task would be more variable. The below figures show three cases. Which would hold? Why? Obviously it depends on the tasks. My question is that are there any tasks you could predict the order.
Example Revisited (and an answer)
Now, if we were running the above perception and memory tasks, people would be more variable in the perception task. At 30 ms, some people will be at ceiling, others will be at floor, and the rest will be well distributed across the range. At 100 items, most people in memory will be between 60% and 90% accurate. I know of no theory however that addresses, predicts, or anticipates this degree of variability.
Variability In The Shadows
In psychophysics, we give each person unique parameters to keep accuracy controlled. In cognition, we focus on mean levels rather than variability. In individual differences, it is the correlation of people across tasks rather than the marginal variability in tasks that is of interest.
Questions Refined:
1. Do you think documenting and theorizing about this variability is helpful? Foundational? Arbitrary?
2. Do you know of any theory that addresses this question for any set of tasks?
3. My hunch is that the more complex or high-level a task is, the less variability. Likewise, the more perceptual, simple, or low-level a task is, the more variability. This seems a bit backwards in some sense, but it matches my observations as a cognitive person. Does this hunch seem plausible?

Hi. I think theorizing about and studying individual differences in such tasks is important and exciting. Justin Kantner were struck by how much variability there is in recognition memory response bias for words. On average, across subjects, bias tends to be nada, but some subjects are very conservative, some very neutral. We found modest evidence of stability in response bias (i.e., subjects who were conservative on a recog test tended to be conservative two weeks later on a supericially different recog test).

I think the questions you raise are very important. Of course, a complete account of behaviour (as reflected in performance on psychological tasks) requires an understanding of both the variance and mean. It is true that there is virtually no theorising relevant to the question you pose. I recall an old claim from the early 1990s by Arthur Reber where he suggested that implicit learning tasks would show less covariance with IQ than explicit tasks (Reber, A. S. (1989). Implicit learning and tacit knowledge. Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 118, 219–235.)
This might lead to a prediction that, for two matched tasks, the implicit task would show less variance. But, as more recent work (Cognition 116 (2010) 321–340) shows, there are other factors with which implicit learning is associated. Thus, a simple attempt to quantify the total variance in a task is likely to be rife with problems.
In my own work (Pickering & Pesola, 2014; https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2014.00740/full), for example, we have suggested that individual differences researchers should build formal models of their tasks and carry out a sensitivity analysis on the effects of adding variance to each model parameter. This allows the opportunity to see which model parameters create the most variance in (simulated) task performance.
Why did we do this? Well, if one has a theory linking a model parameter to some underlying cognitive/psychobiological process then, if a task has a high degree of sensitivity to variance in that model parameter, one can make predictions for what other variables will correlate most robustly with the task in real data (i.e., those other variables that also depend strongly on the model cognitive-psychobiological process related to the model parameter). This work is only just scratching the surface of decomposing the sources of variance in tasks, but might I guess be extended (under certain ideal conditions) to address questions of the kind you pose.

Hi Steve, Thanks. That is a cool insight that there may be more variability in bias than in d'. I think that falls out of the aging lit too where for recognition memory aging effects are relatively small but there is a big bias toward "new".
Alan, I love the Reber conjecture. Thanks. I would have thought the opposite to be honest, that explicit is fairly stable, at least by my more variability for perception conjecture.
Overall, I think getting the means sort of equated is important, or at least the differences in means needs to be modeled very carefully. Accuracy of course compresses at the end, and RT gets more variable naturally as it slows. Likert is really difficult without such equating because it is an ordinal scale.

Variability, and predicting differences in variability across conditions is imo very important. I would even state that the absence of theories and tests on (differences in) variability is evidence of the immature state of psychological theory. This is also what we argue in for instance
Böing-Messing, F., van Assen, M. A., Hofman, A. D., Hoijtink, H., & Mulder, J. (2017). Bayesian evaluation of constrained hypotheses on variances of multiple independent groups. Psychological Methods, 22(2), 262.
Consider two examples:
1) RCT with two time points.
Why do we not always estimate the data using a five or six parameter model, two on mean differences (with the difference between those means estimating the treatment effect) AND the ratio of the variances of the differences? It is quite likely that IF the treatment has an effect, this effect is not equal across persons, which would result in a higher variance of the difference for the treatment group than for the control group.
By the way, the fifth/sixth parameter is/are the covariances.
2) Longitudinal models.
A linear slope model implies either (i) variances decreasing over time, (ii) variances first decreasing and then increasing over time, (iii) variances increasing over time.
To conclude: there may be A LOT to gain by studying (differences in) variability. :-)

If test-retest reliability for A is lower than for B, then Var(A) > Var(B); all else being equal. In that case, true inter-individual differences may not vary across conditions. That's only one interpretation of Var(A) > Var(B) measured in a single experiment. So I think the two possibilities should be disambiguated (by comparing reliability) before attention is focussed on either one of these interpretations. If reliability does differ then there are simple mechanisms that can be invoked.

One of the expectations of the merchandising job function is to translate trends into something that will resonate with your brand's customers. This mandate requires a deep understanding of who she or he is – and yet, resources for actually communicating with customers are relatively sparse in the industry.
On top of that, the resources that merchants have traditionally leveraged to "befriend" their customers each carry considerable downsides. A few examples…
(1) Customer Intercepts – for brands who have physical stores or are sold through retailers, merchants can actually go to those locations and talk to the people browsing and buying their product.
The downside? Can feel slightly awkward – not to mention a little invasive. They are also time and cost intensive and rarely provide a representative sample of the customer base.
(2) Focus Groups – merchants can hear first-hand feedback on product in development when customers attend formal focus groups.
The downside? These groups can often be biased by the loudest person in the room. Also, merchants often are not engaging with customers directly, they are led by a trained facilitator. Similar to in-store intercepts, they can be costly, inefficient and skewed.
(3) Persona Creation — generalized archetypes of your customer to help personify those behind your sales.
The downside? "Sally Suburbia" isn't a real person. You can't talk to her or relate to her. These are often created with marketing teams in mind, not merchants, and it can be hard to apply the persona information to product assortment decisions effectively. In the same way that technology has changed our personal access to social networks (think about all of those old high school classmates you'd know nothing about if it weren't for Instagram), technology should also be changing the way that merchants interact with their own customers.
In the same way that technology has changed our personal access to social networks (think about all of those old high school classmates you'd know nothing about if it weren't for Instagram), technology should also be changing the way that merchants interact with their own customers.
Although merchants cannot yet friend request everyone who buys a sku of their sweater, we are beginning to see small shifts toward the use of technology in this space. A few examples…
(1) Website Data, including:
(a) Product Reviews – a treasure trove of direct customer feedback available to everyone! Rent the Runway takes reviews a step further by having customers upload a photo – enabling their team to truly see who is behind the rental
(b) Search history – most ecommerce teams can easily pull a weekly list of top search terms within the site. Merchants should know how customers approach discovery on their site as well as the items they are looking for that are not offered within the assortment.
(2) Chat Support – we are starting to see more and more communication between brands and customers happen pre-purchase. In fact, Bonobos CEO Mickey Onvural says that 45% of online customer interactions happen before a credit card is entered – including many questions around what they should wear with a certain item or how a pair of pants will fit (credit: https://digiday.com/retail/bonobos-walmart-build-online-only-brands/). If brands featured their merchandising teams once a week on chat – enabling them to directly answer product or styling questions – it would be a win-win, opening up the lines of communication between maker and buyer.
(3) Digital Feedback – the merchandising teams that we work with at MakerSights are able to predict how future products will sell by inviting customers to co-create through a quick, 90-second feedback experience. In addition to a product rating, many merchant teams also take this opportunity to engage their customers in conversation – asking why they like or dislike a particular style, for example. With MakerSights, merchants are typically seeing hundreds of responses from customers around the country – or even around the world – within hours.
In addition to having a forward-looking data point to help guide product development and buying decisions, we hear anecdotally from merchant teams that one of the most powerful aspects of MakerSights is the ability to converse with thousands of customers, unlocking access that has previously been unavailable.
- A global footwear company wanted to update a core style with a fresh palette, but they weren't sure how customers would react to some of the newest colors. Not only did the lilac show up as the colorway with the greatest demand, customers wrote comments to the merchants expressing their excitement for this fresh trend.
- When looking to take a new direction aesthetically, one of our brand partners first tested the looks with their customers. The response was clear – loyal customers were turned off by the newest designs and didn't feel like it was in line with what they hoped to see from the brand. The consistent, emotional response helped the internal team decide to reconsider such a dramatic shift.
Ultimately, unlocking opportunities for those at the heart of product creation to better understand their customers is critical. Expectations from customers have never been higher for brands, as they have more choice and less loyalty than ever before. Give them a reason to choose you by getting to know them better than your competition.

"…Claims of revitalization exclude the social aspirations of African Americans and the working masses
During the week of October 23-27, the World Conference of Mayors held a conference in the city of Detroit at the luxurious MGM Casino Hotel.
This organization is not to be confused with the United States Conference of Mayors which has existed for decades. The World Conference mainly consists of elected officials and other affiliates from small and medium-sized African American majority cities in the southern U.S. along with some representation from Africa, Canada and the Middle East…
Another highlight of the week of action was the "Real Detroiters Speak Out" town hall meeting held at the Historic St. Matthews-St. Joseph's Church on Woodward Avenue on October 26. Over twenty people from various community organizations addressed a capacity audience on the profound problems facing the city.
It is outcomes of such coalition and movement-building activities that solutions to the crises will emerge. At the root of the social problems of Detroit and other major cities is the decline of the capitalist system.
The present administrations holding power in the municipalities, state governments, Congress and the White House are a reflection of the inability of the prevailing economic system to resolve the fundamental needs of the people. The only solution is socialist reconstruction which would transfer the wealth generated by the working and oppressed communities from the capitalist ruling class to the masses."

Tales From Abroad: The Christian and the Slave
"During my time on the streets of New York I was abused, shot, stabbed, raped, kidnapped, trafficked, beaten, addicted to drugs, jailed, and more all before I was 18 years old" (Smith, 2012). This was the brutal reality of eight years of Barba Amaya's life and, unfortunately, she is far from being alone. Approximately 4.5 million people are victims of sexual exploitation, accounting for 22% of all human trafficking victims ("21 million people," 2012) That leaves over 16 million other people who are victims of forced labor exploitation ("21 million people," 2012). Sex and labor trafficking are the two categories of human trafficking, which is defined by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime as "the recruitment, transport, transfer, harbouring or receipt of a person by such means as threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud or deception for the purpose of exploitation" (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, n.d.). Many Americans believe that human trafficking is only in other countries, but Barba's story reveals that is simply untrue and the issue is closer to home than we may think. The Polaris Project estimates that the total number of victims in the United States ranks in the hundreds of thousands ("The Facts," 2015). I believe if more people knew how many victims were in the same country, state, and even city, they would be more likely to rise to action. While I think we should always be looking to care for those overseas, it seems we are more likely to act when the issue is occurring in our own backyard. Even more crucial to the call to action is hearing personal testimonies. Some of the most sobering focus on what happens when the victim does not meet the expectations or requirements of the offender. Kolab, a young girl from Cambodia, explains, "They expected me to make $200 to $300 per night; if I did not, they punished me by stripping and beating me with a stick until I fainted, electrocuting me, cutting me and pouring salt water on the cuts, and placing my hands
into a bamboo press for up to 20 minutes" ("Kolab & Phalla," 2016). In addition, one woman who managed to escape and begin an organization to fight human trafficking describes a "hilot," which is a midwife "who terminates unwanted pregnancies by violently pounding on a woman's stomach until she miscarries" ("Kolab & Phalla," 2016). These are the harsh realities for over 21 million people in our world and we cannot ignore them. As Christians, we must look to the Bible to gain insight on how to approach this issue and act as Jesus would.
As we begin to assess the issue of human trafficking in light of the Bible, we must first explore God's view of human beings. Genesis 1:27 reads, "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them" (New International Version). The first people to hear this were likely the Israelites during the Exodus, people who were potentially feeling very insignificant and worthless. This passage was likely meant to convey the importance with which God views them and all human beings. Genesis 1:27 reveals that God intimately created human beings to be different from all other creation and to be similar to Him morally, spiritually, and intellectually. While most of us are not in any type of exodus, we all experience difficult times and desire to feel important. The main principle of this passage seems to be that humans are special to God and that they are meant to live as He would live. This means we should view others as God's image-bearers and treat them likewise. In light of human trafficking, I think Genesis 1:27 should encourage us to treat both the victims and the perpetrators as people deserving God's love and mercy.
Matthew 25:35-40 teaches us ways we can treat others with God's love and mercy. Jesus states that those who care for people in need by feeding them, clothing them, and visiting them will inherit the kingdom that God has been preparing for them since the very beginning. He explains that if someone does these things, then they are basically doing it for Him. This passage
also emphasizes the absolute dominion of God with the repeated use of "King" and "Lord" while once again highlighting the importance of each human being. This would have been a pivotal teaching to the original audience of the first century converted Jews who were experiencing great persecution and un-rest in the Palestinian community. I believe the author was revealing that Jesus wanted the Jews to take care of each other during this hard time and know that God has been preparing a place for them in heaven since before creation. He seemed to be stressing that we are all special to God and we should show others that they are special to Him by helping them in any way possible, especially those who are the weakest and most vulnerable. Many of us are not being directly persecuted, but our world is in great un-rest and many people are suffering. We have tremendous opportunity to feed, clothe, care for, invite, visit, and love others. The victims of human trafficking deserve and require all of these things. It is important that we treat their physical needs first to show them that we care about them and want to help them. Once that base relationship is established then they may be able to open their lives to us, thus allowing us to love them and share the Gospel.
In addition to caring for the victims, we must also speak out for them. Proverbs 31:8-9 reads, "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy" (New International Version). Other versions read "open your mouth" instead of "speak up," which can be translated as break forth or speak without reservation (English Standard Version). I believe this passage was addressed to the young people in Old Testament society who were about to enter positions of prominence. I think King Lemuel is encouraging them to break any norms or barriers and speak up for those who cannot or will not speak up for themselves. He emphasizes that these people need to be defended by those who are wealthier and respected or else they will be
destroyed by their adversary. If this passage is, in fact, directed toward the young future leaders of society then it can easily apply to those of us attending universities. While we are living many years later and the world has become more accepting of people speaking out about their beliefs, we still have barriers to break. I believe it is still extremely difficult for many of us to speak up for the needy, not because we think the problems are okay, but because it tends to be easier to ignore them. Human trafficking, in particular, seems to be a very difficult issue to discuss. It is not often preached on or circulated. This may be because it goes against everything our hearts say is right and it is too much to bear or it may be because the issue is so widespread that we feel powerless to stop it. Regardless, I think we must accept the discomfort and speak out however we can. As the authors of Genesis and Matthew revealed, each life is truly valuable to God and if speaking out saves one life, then it is worth it. We cannot change the world, but we can change one life.
We must also investigate how to treat those in charge of human trafficking and how their lives can be changed. Deuteronomy 24:7 states that if someone kidnaps a fellow Israelite and treats or sells them as a slave, then they shall be murdered in order to purge the evil from the community (New International Version). During those times, liberty was viewed as a man's right and if that was stolen from him, it was equivalent to destroying him. In addition, many of these slaves would have been sold outside of the Jewish community to avoid discovery, thus removing them from the church and Israelite community. These crimes were viewed as stealing spiritual, emotional and intellectual life which called for the criminal's physical life to be taken. It is difficult to interpret Deuteronomy 24:7 because we are not coming out of the wilderness and entering an Old Testament covenant with God where theocracy is at rule. When Jesus came, he revolutionized the way we view crimes and law. He gave us a method of reconciliation that
allows anyone to be forgiven and return to the Lord. Jesus also taught us that we are no longer to take an "eye for an eye" and that both ultimate reward and judgement will occur in the future after our physical life is over. I believe the main purpose of Deuteronomy 24:7 in our modern day is to show that people are equally important and are not to be treated as property. While I do not think this passage means we should put kidnappers to death, I do think it means we should view kidnapping and human trafficking as a crime and we should support the government in enacting justice, but only to the extent that it prevents further harm.
Achieving justice for those being victimized shows our love for the victims, but we must also love the perpetrators. In Ephesians 4:32, Paul writes, "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ forgave you" (New International Version). Ephesus, the home of Paul's audience, was a city that worshipped goddess Diana and was plagued with sin. The citizens likely had little regard for each other and would not have been in the business of lifting each other up. I believe this passage would have taught the church a controversial message about loving each other to the point of putting aside their own individual feelings and forgiving each other when it is most difficult. I think the passage conveys the same message to our modern day world that is also plagued with sin, even if it is not always as obvious as the worship to Diana. I believe Paul is emphasizing that God gave everything to forgive us by sacrificing His Son, but it costs us nothing to forgive our fellow man. When it comes to human trafficking, I think this passage applies to our forgiveness of those who cause the pain of the victims. It is difficult to imagine forgiving someone for a crime this heavy, but God does not withhold His grace and we should not either. I believe it is also important to note that forgiveness can be the best way to show someone your love and to share the life of Christ; it may even be the one act that leads someone to Christ.
The Bible clearly provides several applicable teachings regarding the topic of human trafficking and we must translate those teachings into modern day applications. There are several practical ways to help alleviate human trafficking, both at home and abroad. We can support or sign legislation and petitions that fights against human trafficking, such as the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000. We can also attend rallies against human trafficking and speak up in our churches about the issue. Simply refusing to remain silent could lead to immense change. One subtle way to help end labor trafficking would be to shop fair trade and locally in order to not be a contributor to the perpetuation of the cycle. At home, we can reach out to the victims by inviting them to our homes, providing resources to places that can help, and treating them as children of God. Once the victims have escaped, we can also help them assimilate back into society through organizations such as the International Rescue Committee, that teach the survivors their new country's language, how to use transportation, and how to obtain a job, among other things. Overall, the most crucial way anyone can help is through prayer. Prayer for the victims to be freed, for the perpetrators to find a different path, and for the restoration of our world. We live in a difficult time and the power of prayer is strong. God is listening and He is here.

I am currently in the countryside, and the last time I was here I said goodbye to my mother. It has been a tough time, and I have thought of her a lot. She has suffered the last years but she has had good health care support. However, it feels alright to be able to say that she has had a great life. Travelling, a nice home, dogs, family, nature, sports etc.
Memory diseases also affect the family a lot. Especially my father has had a difficult time. Personally, it is the very first time somebody so close passes away. I have chosed to be open about my feelings, and it has been a sound way to handle life. To face death is a challenge, but it happens to everybody. It has taken time to mourn my mother, therefore I have cooked so much, but that has helped me.
I am very happy to have so supporting collegues. They have shared some of their life experiences and been very understanding. And maybe, I can give extra support to my customers and their families. Also carrying the burden of disease.

Brain Damage
Pink Floyd
The Dark Side Of The Moon
Brain Damage is a song from British progressive rock band Pink Floyd's 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon. It was sung by Roger Waters. David Gilmour took over as lead vocalist when the band performed it live during the 1994 tour. The song is often mistakenly labelled "Dark Side of the Moon" alongside "Eclipse" because the two run together and are commonly played together on the radio, giving the impression that they are one song. The incorrect title is derived from a recurring lyric in "Brain Damage," and the title of the album. Read more on Last.fm.

IKEA has issued a second recall of its MALM dresser after an eighth child was crushed to death when one tipped over on him.
In 2014, IKEA received a report of a 2-year-old who died after a MALM dresser tipped over and suffocated him. In 2016, after the dresser was linked to the deaths of two more toddlers, IKEA recalled more than 27 million dressers. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that to date, IKEA has received more than 186 reports of incidents with the MALM dresser. 91 children have been injured.
In May, 2-year-old Jozef Dudek, from California, was the eighth child to die when a MALM dresser that wasn't anchored to the floor tipped over and crushed him. His parents have argued that IKEA did not publicize the recall adequately. Last year, the company settled wrongful death lawsuits with three families of children who died.
If your dresser is included in the recall, IKEA and the CPSC recommend you stop using your dresser immediately and do one of two things: Call IKEA for a refund — the company will also haul the dresser away for free — or request a wall-anchoring kit, which the company will install for free. You can also call IKEA at 866-856-4532 for more information or if you have any questions.

Brewer's yeast is often recommended as a supplement for pets, but many people are unsure of why exactly it is so good for animals. Considered a high energy food, yeast is rich in essential B vitamins, minerals, and high quality proteins, which contain many essential amino acids. Thesework together to promote a healthy coat and skin while also helping to control shedding. Brewer's yeast is also fed to pets to help control fleas, because it seems to create an odor that helps to deter fleas. It can also help neutralize your dog's urine, helping to eliminate urine spots in your lawn. B vitamins are involved in energy production, and they also stimulate the nervous and glandular systems. They help to extend the lifespan of cells and increase the animal's ability to obtain oxygen. B vitamins are also known to raise your pet's ability to withstand stress. Brewer's yeast contains high amounts of the minerals chromium and selenium. Chromium is an important part of the glucose tolerance factor, which helps to maintain the blood glucose level by converting body fats back to glucose when the body needs it. This action can be beneficial to pets with diabetes. Selenium works with vitamin E to encourage proper muscle development of the heart and digestive system, as well as external muscles. Various studies and articles, including some published in the Whole Dog Journal, state that small amounts of garlic act as a natural flea repellant, and may also be used for its antibacterial and antifungal properties. Garlic acts as an immune booster for pets by promoting the production of white blood cells and may benefit pets with diabetes by working to reduce blood-sugar levels. Brewer's Yeast & Garlic also utilizes Manganese in its formula. Manganese is a trace mineral found in tiny amounts in the body, mostly in the liver, pancreas, kidneys, and bones. Manganese helps the body form connective tissue, and it also plays a role in blood sugar regulation, carbohydrate and fat metabolism, and calcium absorption. Manganese is necessary for normal nerve and brain function. It is recommended to use a calcium supplement and cod liver oil to provide vitamins A and D and to allow for the proper absorption and use of phosphorus and calcium, along with any brewer's yeast supplement.

Happy Radars
Are you a good judge of other people's happiness? Tell us about a time you were spot on despite external hints to the contrary (or, alternatively, about a time you were dead wrong).
I think that I am not at all a figure who can judge other people's happiness. However, I am afraid to tell that when I was about to write this prompt today, my cousin and her little boy come to stop by. It appears that my sister asked her for a drive. Well after getting in and saying hello, she took my mother to the seating room where she starts to complain about her different problems. I have to say here in the first place that I was not at all try in any way to bother to listen for what they are saying. After greetings, all I did is to take the sweet little boy and with some color pens, we started drawing a picture.
The truth is that I heard the some of the talk, for her voice was very loud and yet too loud to ignore it. In here voice there was an elusive trembling waves of rumbling disappointment and negativity. I have to remember that! for I spent most of the afternoon taking a long walk.
What I am disposed to maintain here is not this catalyst that made me write about this outrageous happening. But, that voice of remorse and regret, that voice of irritation and despair that has encapsulated my walk with an unrestrained fear from tomorrow.

Keep in mind: the most effective apps for Instagram followers on Android were examined on a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and also Sony Xperia Z smartphone. All the applications functioned great and also no worry were faced throughout the testing.

Essentially, they will offer you a bunch of various trending hashtags that you could make use of in your photos.
Nevertheless, simply utilizing hashtags on your pictures doesn't imply you'll obtain followers, sometimes they can have a damaging effect specifically when you utilize them for unassociated material.

She may be in between gigs right now, but Ándrea Pentabona's hasn't shaken the bartending bug. With stints at some of the city's most beloved current (and former) destinations for craft cocktails (pour one out for Tavern Road), she's come a long way since fumbling her way through her first Manhattan. As she maps out her next move, she sat down with the BostonChefs team to reminisce a little about her path within the hospitality industry, her love of orange liqueurs and the mysterious, but aptly-named JackChoke shot.
1. Where do you work now? What's your position? Where else have you worked in the last five years?
I most recently consulted, designed and created the concept and cocktails for Variety at The Comedy Studio in Bow Market, Union Square Somerville. I also spent a year working as the brand specialist for Leblon Cachaça. Right now I'm taking some time to focus on myself and my family—but look out for a new project coming soon! Over the past five years I've worked at The Hawthorne, Tavern Road, Rialto, Sam's, Red Bird and Uni. It's funny looking at that list because half of them are, sadly closed now.
2. Briefly, how did you get involved in restaurants (and, specifically, bartending)? What draws you to this line of work?
I started working as a busser at TGIFriday's when I was 16. I went on to work at small neighborhood places and eventually, a casual fine dining restaurant in Providence. I fibbed a bit to get behind the bar on a night when someone had called out and they were short staffed. I got back there with confidence and promptly had someone order a Manhattan. I can't even remember what I put in that poor soul's cocktail. Despite not knowing what I was doing, I definitely caught the bartending bug. I went on to grad school at NYU and got my master's degree in social work, but kept a job in the restaurant industry throughout school and even when I went on to practice therapy. I eventually decided to move to Boston and pursue my career in bartending in 2012. I am drawn to bartending because I love learning, being around people, and the ever-changing nature of the restaurant industry, how no two days are the same. The beverage industry is so complex and diverse there will never be a time when I stop learning something new.
3. What's your favorite drink to make (or wine or beer to pour)? Least favorite?
My favorite drink to make, hands down, is a Ramos Gin Fizz. Some bartenders shy away from it because it can be time consuming due to the multiple steps and taking time to wait so it's perfect, but the efforts are well worth the finished product. People love watching it be made, it's technically challenging no matter how many times you've made it, it's beautiful and it's flipping delicious.
4. How do you feel about the mixology movement? Does that term appeal to you, not appeal to you? What do you think it means to be involved in the bartender culture, if you agree that there is one?
Well, this is a loaded question. I think mixology is when you are thinking about flavors and creating something different or new. This should not be happening during service. This is the R&D phase of things. You are a "mixologist" if you work for a brand or restaurant group creating cocktails and that's the main part of your job. Otherwise you are a bartender and you aren't being a very good one if you are "mixologizing" while guests are sitting in front of you. You don't want to be taking chances on your guests' dime. Those things should be worked out ahead of time and you should know they taste great. Bartending is most of what we do. I know I'm not the first one to say this, but making cocktails is about 10% of a bartenders job.
Bartender culture; there definitely is one. I don't think anyone can logically argue that there isn't. What that culture involves is definitely up for debate. To me, the best part of bartender culture is about the close knit group of professionals that enjoy working and playing together. We support each other, and there's a definitely a select group of us who know about and get opportunities to go to cocktail festivals, intensive educational events, and the like. These serve to establish closer relationships between the bartenders and other beverage professionals who attend. I would love to see these opportunities expand and cater to professionals beyond craft cocktail bartenders. The dark side of this, I think we are just beginning to talk about. It's imperative that we remember and keep reminding ourselves that just because someone is popular among their peers and has thousands of Instagram followers doesn't mean they're infallible. It's easy to see bartenders as celebrities in this social media driven era and there's a huge cultural problem when people misuse that power and others aren't willing to put them under the same magnifying glass because they are perceived as socially powerful influencers who can make or break careers.
5. On your days off, what kind of places do you frequent? A lot of industry folk are happier with a Miller High Life and a Fernet than composed cocktails or craft beer. You?
One of my favorite bars in the city has been and always will be The Druid. They are a neighborhood bar with a fantastic staff and I just feel at home there. It's no secret that going out is mostly about visiting people you like behind the bar. I often end up where my friends are working or where everyone is gathering (almost always Eastern Standard). Also wherever Sparky happens to be with The People's Karaoke. I'm a HUGE karaoke fan and TPK's nights across town are where it's at. My go-to beverages are Twisted Tea with a side of ice, Bud Light Lime, or Cider. I don't shoot fernet, it's never been my preferred amaro (though when I was new to the scene I definitely tried very hard to get into it). I take a lot less shots these days, but if I feel like one it will probably be Laird's Bonded Apple Brandy or Cynar (or a mix of the two that I like to call a JackChoke).
6. What do you always keep stocked at home? Are there different things you like to drink or to make for special occasions?
I have a ton of liquor at my house thanks to generous brands that I actually don't touch very often. That being said, if I am going to make a cocktail at home it will most likely be a Daiquiri or Caipirinha. Most of the time when my husband and I are hanging out on the couch after our 3-yr-old daughter has gone to bed I'm drinking wine or a fortified version like vermouth or sherry. Special occasions always call for sparkling wine (usually rosé in our house) and I typically make a non-alcoholic punch for holidays that you can add booze to order, so everyone can enjoy.
7. Are you excited about one spirit in particular? Is there something really overrated or underrated, in your opinion?
I'm sort of obsessed with orange liqueurs. My heart has always been most dedicated to classic cocktails and orange liqueur is found in lots of them. There are SO MANY of different liqueurs and they all taste and mix differently. Some of my favorites are Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao (for a Side Car or Mai Tai), Patron Citronge (for a Margarita or El Presidente) and Combier Blue Curaçao because it's light and delicious and, duh, it's blue!
I wouldn't go so far as to say overrated, but the amount of "craft" whiskey hitting the scene is overwhelming and saturating the market to the point where consumers no longer know what's quality and what just has fancy packaging and a good story. Blind tasting is super important to make sure you don't have any biases just because the person selling it to you was slick and charming.
8. What's something you wish the average guest knew about your job, not service-wise, but related to the craft of bartending. (In other words, apart from common courtesy and being a good guest, what's something you think everybody should know about bartending?)
By my definition, the craft of a great bartender is mostly about being able to manage your own emotions and feelings and channel them into discerning and then executing whatever kind of experience the person in front of you needs. Which means you could be code-switching (social work talk for changing how you interact with someone) multiple times a minute. That is completely mentally exhausting and while there is no excuse for a bartender to be rude, we are still human and sometimes the facade cracks a little. Give your bartender props when you see them on a busy shift nailing it and making everyone happy. That's why we do what we do.

Fresh rolls from the oven are the perfect addition to fall soups and stews. Yet, rolls by hand seem so time consuming to make. Use your bread machine to mix the dough and let it rise. Then, you do the shaping of the rolls and the baking. And, of course, the eating.
We're very fond of rolls around here, not biscuits. We're definitely not a biscuit family. I like to make these rolls when I'm serving a stew or minestrone, something with liquid to sop up. The kids are not fond of sopping things up though the older ones are learning the exquisite goodness of a roll sopped in stew juice. Because these rolls are made in the bread machine, I can dump the ingredients in and let the machine do the work, and come back in 1.5 hours and do my job shaping the rolls.
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 T. soft butter
- 1 egg
- 1¼ cup bread flour
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tsp. salt
- 3 tsp. yeast
- Put all the ingredients in the pan in order. Use the dough cycle.
- When the dough is ready, divide it up into balls. You can either do 12 or 16; I like to do 16.
- Put the balls on a cookie sheet or in a Pyrex pan. You can either put a piece of parchment paper on the cookie sheet or grease it with butter, lard, or olive oil.
- Let the rolls rise for at least 30 minutes until doubled in size. During the cooler months, I put the cookie pan on top of the radiator or even better, I turn the oven on to warm (170 degrees) for 5 minutes, and let the rolls warm in the oven. During the warmer months, I only use the light in the oven to help the rolls to rise.
- Bake the rolls at 350 for about 20 minutes or until light brown.

But it found government consultation on water rights after a Waitangi Tribunal recommendation was adequate, and that the partial sale of the assets "will not impair to a material extent the Crown's ability to remedy any Treaty breach in respect of Maori interests in water".
Just hours after the Supreme Court made overturned the High Court decision of Justice Young that the Governments decision to 'partly sell' SOE couldn't be reviewed a clearer framework is exposed of how the Supreme Court appears to have radicalized the role of the Courts in the administration of government. I can only speculate that there might have been a constitutional crisis had the Supreme Court not dismissed the appeal. That bears some more consideration, yet we may never know because the government said they had not plan 'b' but were quite clearly on track as showing a constructive 'willingness' to preserve the position of the appellants which proved irresistible to the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile on the face of it the Supreme Court has said that Government decisions are reviewable to ensure they are consistent with the principles of The Treaty of Waitangi. In today's decision, the Supreme Court accepted that the government had done sufficient work and had sufficient resources to ensure that any ultimate arrangements made with individual Maori over 'water rights' were adequate to preserve the interests of those appealing, and that partly selling the SOEs would have no effect on reaching agreements consistent with the principles of the Treaty. While at the same time it seems to have 'opened' the door on the prospect that individual agreements or failure to reach agreement can still be looked at by the Courts.
Of course for 'Bain watchers' the decision is also very interesting. It now seems settled that Government must abide by the principles of the Treaty and to this point I can't see how that decision is distinguished in anyway from abiding by the principles of our Bill of Rights, natural justice and so forth which form the basis of David Bain's application for Judicial Review on the decision of the Minister of Justice to not accept the review of Justice Binnie on the compensation question of David Bain, and also the recommendation or finding of innocence of David on the balance of probability.
I imagine team Bain will be encouraged both by the decision and by the recognition of the Court of the steps that the Crown made to ensure that existing Maori water claims were acknowledged along with those that might arise in the future. That might well now be a precedent the current government may need to acknowledge in the Bain JR process, that they are seen to be ensuring the rights of David and the fairness of his treatment. In other words an opposite of the way they have acted to this point by excluding David from the process whilst 'protecting' the interests of the Crown and other parties associated with the Crown. In fact an absolute reversal on the way they have acted since receiving Binnie's report. It looks like the Crown will have to 'fall in line' and act consistently both with natural justice, The Bill of Rights but also with the way they 'preserved' the right of Maori in respect of the Treaty throughout their dealings with water rights.

Jaguar Land Rover
As soon as you step into the new and improved compact SUV, drivers will be greeted by the 10.25-inch Touch Pro infotainment system, with a hidden-until-lit interface sat below it to control the climate control, Terrain Response 2 and Advanced Tow Assist systems.
Drivers can also have the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and full-colour head-up display, while occupants can charge their smartphone wirelessly for the first time.
The new Discovery Sport is also available with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto offering smartphone integration. While drivers can take advantage of Land Rover's Smart Settings technology, which uses artificial intelligence to learn their habits over time.
The 'self-learning' technology recognises each driver via their key fob or phone and sets the car up according to their preferences.
Passengers meanwhile will be able to benefit from a 4G Wifi hotspot capable of connecting eight devices to the internet, as well as six USB and 12-volt ports located around the cabin to keep everyone connected and entertained.
Second row passengers will also be given more control, as they will be able to adjust the temperature from their seats with the introduction of buttons on the rear of the centre cubby.

As we continue along yet another unnecessary budget crisis that is now crippling the state with budget cuts and political deadlock, it's time to come to grips with addressing the elephant in the room as far as Connecticut's self-inflicted budget problem.
That problem is directly related to intentionally undertaxing the wealthy and then pretending the problem is state workers and unfunded liabilities.
For far too long, this state has coddled the wealthy when it comes to personal income tax rates and brackets. It is a complete myth that we have a progressive income tax in this state and that personal income taxes are too high. For starters, our tax brackets stop at $500,000 at 6.99 percent, which is absurd considering we have many multimillionaires and billionaires residing in this state. The brackets should reflect higher income earners with at least two to three more rungs to accommodate for these wealth classes. And if we are to have an actual progressive income tax, we also need to increase the personal income tax percentage for these higher brackets.
If we look at New York (8.82 percent for top earners) and California (13 percent for top earners), we can see that our top rate of 6.99 percent is inadequately and unnecessarily low.
I should mention that a group of New York millionaires actually called for higher taxes because they knew that even for New York the personal income tax brackets are kept artificially low. See the Associated Press article posted online on the Courant, "Millionaires To New York Governor: Raise Our Taxes."
It is time to put an end to the nonsensical anti-tax whinging and histrionics that currently have an illegitimate stranglehold on the political narrative in this state. It is nothing but a pernicious lie exploited by shameless and ignorant politicians that is costing Connecticut dearly.
Jason Villani, Wallingford
