polarscribe 3200 replies32 threads Senior MemberI have never taken a math class beyond algebra II and statistics, and never once have any of my employers cared - or even asked.
Some people are stronger at some things than others, and I don't believe it's helpful to criticize students for picking an educational path that connects with their skills and interests. If that involves math, great. If not, great.
Engineering is cyclic. Different forms of engineering have different demand curves and different utility decay rates. There are times when it is superb to be a xxxx engineer and other times when you can't find a job with a xxxx degree. Nonetheless, it is a degree with a high probability of employment upon graduation and a career beyond it. There is the added complication that comes with age - higher levels of compensation and technological obsolesce. Older engineers are therefore at risk if they don't maintain the cutting edge competence.

Not all liberal arts are low cost to deliver. Biology is an extremely popular major at some schools, but it is a high cost major, since it requires substantial numbers of lab courses that are more costly to the school than lecture and discussion courses (like humanities, social studies, business, and math).

This is very heavily dependent upon the company they work for. If the company is not involved in extremely current and emerging businesses and technologies, their employees will also not be. Most people will stay current with what their company is doing at the moment but trying to stay ahead is guesswork and may lead you into subjects of no value.
The 2011 edition of the annual Education at a Glance report includes very interesting data on the tertiary education earnings premium across the different OECD countries plus a few select emerging nations.
Talking about "fear of math" and student demand for engineering degrees, Table A4.4 in one of the OECD report's data sheets actually seems to show that the percentage of students enrolled in engineering/manufacturing degree courses at the tertiary-type A and advanced research levels in the United States in the reference year 2009 was actually the lowest among all OECD countries.
The table, however, also shows an unusually high percentage of US-based students enrolled in "not known or unspecified" fields, suggesting there may be some problem in data collection as far as the US is concerned. In other words, I can't tell how reliable those enrollment percentages are.
I know this is only one case but my son falls into this "unspecified" class since he hasn't declared a major going into college. He won't have to do so until the end of his sophmore year. He didn't declare because he is not yet sure if he wants computer science or math. I assume he is not alone. Cases like his will impact the numbers. He loves math.
vienneselights 395 replies16 threads MemberI love this thread. It's like, WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST LEARN MULTIVARIABLE CALCULUS AND BE HAPPY?!!!
Dear Concerned Middle Class Fathers,
Math is great, but nobody cares. This hysteria about STEM majors is just that: people think that by satisfying some arcane list of requirements, they will purify themselves before the nebulous ether and gaim entry to heaven on earth. Before, people used to buy great artwork for the churches in order to buy out their souls, and even before that, they did rain dances and sacrificed virgins. Now everybody's advised to put themselves through the Majors of Hell, for a propensity for the humanities is Original Sin, and only linear algebra could possibly save you from the inferno/not being decent enough to enter the middle class.
But the fact is, the world was always as it is right now, in the sense that, to succeed, one must hustle. A piece of paper, whether it says that you go to confession regularly or that you completed pre-med requirements, will not save your ass unless in a bathroom situation. Unfortunately, there is no substitute for hard work, and there is no medicine for uncertainty.
p.s. Multivariable calculus is pretty legit, tho
The value I see in having quantitative credentials is that you have the skill set to think critically about data instead of relying only on a computer output or the analysis which someone else puts on your desk/computer screen. I'm looking to go into International Relations, but I hope to distinguish myself by having taken a statistics course, perhaps working in some econometrics, and taking a course in Geographical Information Systems. I figure I'll be better able to do whatever job I end up with if I'm able to come to an understanding of inputs on my own.

You can simply get by using for a week or two without a number of the home equipment in your home. Though inconvenient, you could continually wash dishes through hand or head to the closest laundromat to get your garments smooth. Your fridge, but, is one of a kind story. When this critical kitchen appliance stops working the way it needs to, you can't have the funds for to waste time ready to have it repaired. Even one day postpone may want to fee you hundreds of greenbacks in misplaced sparkling and frozen foods. The query is, do you're making the necessary refrigerator repair Los Angeles to your personal or spend extra dollars on an expert service issuer?
Of direction, plenty of the answer to this question depends on what sort of fridge you personal, what the unique trouble is, and whether or not or now not you are acquainted with a refrigerator's additives and how they feature. After all, some of the fridges restore issues concerning fallacious temperature and frost buildup can be quickly solved by way of honestly changing a worn door gasket, aligning and tightening door hinges, or changing the door transfer. Not continually so simple to restore are problems with the inner components of your refrigerator. If you are not familiar with the intricacies of these greater complicated issues, it is able to be time to contact your local fridge repair provider.
The restriction transfer, as an instance, is one such component on frost-unfastened fridges and freezers which you should depend on a refrigeration repair professional to update. Charged with preserving the defrost heating detail from surpassing a specific temperature putting, the restrict switch might be the culprit if your fridge has immoderate frost within the freezer compartment. Understanding a way to rule out troubles with the evaporator fan, defrost timer, and defrost heater is prime right here as malfunctions with these components can create the equal high ranges of frost buildup.
Another situation where you can need to anticipate an expert for exacting fridges restores is whilst you stumble upon a brief circuit to your unit's wiring. This can arise whilst testing the operation of the thermostat manage installed interior your refrigerator. If the fridge's compressor continues to run after the thermostat cord has been eliminated from its terminal, you in all likelihood have a brief circuit that requires the information of a qualified technician. Attempting to deal with this sort of problem or different electric problems consisting of discharging a capacitor without taking the important precautions could be hazardous and result in an extreme surprise.
Additional fridge repair elements which are high-quality left to an expert consist of:
* The evaporator fan
* Certain sorts of drain ports
* Coolant leaks
* Sealed compressors and vehicles
* And greater
If your refrigerator or freezer won't cool nicely, an impaired evaporator fan will be the reason. First, try to unblock or straighten out the fan blades. If that fails to accurate the state of affairs, and your fridge's door switch is running well, then it's time to name in a fridge appliance repair professional.
The drain ports on a few refrigerator fashions require a super deal of dissecting to clear away clogs of ice and particles. If your refrigerator's drain ports are placed via the evaporator coils near the defrost heater, you could seek advice from your refrigerator repair manual for guidance but it's in all likelihood first-class to searching for the help of a qualified carrier provider to help take aside the important components and remedy your drainage trouble.
With some refrigerator repairs, inclusive of coolant leaks and compressor issues, you do not genuinely have a desire about whether or not or no longer to call an expert carrier company. Trying to troubleshoot these issues yourself is in no way a good concept. Refrigerant leaks you will apprehend by means of their nasty scent. As for the refrigerator and freezer compressor and motor troubles, those additives are closed off in tightly contained units. Attempting to open them your self may want to thoroughly bring about even similarly damage to your already ill refrigerator.
So do not add to the significant fee of quite a few spoiled foods by attempting to handle every fridge/freezer repair hassle by means of yourself. Sometimes it absolutely is within the nice hobby of your refrigerator and your price range to call in a qualified service expert. In the quit, you may avoidability electrical hazards, prevent your food from going horrific, and even extend the lifestyles of your home's hardest working appliance.

Are these two close to reuniting?
Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osborne left fans concerned by reports that they'd 'split' last week – but now it looks like there's hope for the couple after they were spotted on a day out together.
Pregnant Jacqueline, 25, joined her husband and their pet dog Storm for a walk in the park this week and things certainly looked pretty amicable between them.
MORE: Pregnant Jacqueline Jossa furiously reacts to claims daughter Ella is living with Dan Osborne after 'split'
At one point Dan, 26, seemed to be showing Jacqueline pictures on his phone as they sat down in the grass and they also enjoyed an ice cream in the sunshine.
The meeting and reported 'crisis talks' have apparently helped them to get on better again after spending time apart and it looks like they could now be close to reconciling.
'Dan and Jacqueline are working on their problems and everyone is hoping they will be able to get through this,' a friend tells The Sun Online. 'Every relationship goes through tough times but it seems more positive now.
'They seem to be getting on really well and their meeting was a sign of how close they are to reconciling.'
It was first claimed last week that Jacqueline and Dan – who married in June 2017 and have three-year-old daughter Ella together – were living apart following rows about Dan working away from home.
Dan had recently jetted off to work at a bootcamp in Marbella which was attended by stars including Stephanie Davis and Love Island's Gabby Allen.
During an appearance on Loose Women a few days later, Jacqueline gave a cryptic response when asked about the rumours by saying: 'It's not necessarily true or the reasons why you're not getting on at the moment. That's all I really want to say. I'm all good.'
Whatever the situation with their relationship may be, it looks like the couple are both focused on the impending arrival of their second child together.
On Thursday Jacqueline shared a photo of her growing bump and wrote: 'Not long now baby 😍💜 We cannot wait to meet you.'
Awww, exciting times ahead!

We are so Blessed!
Jack and I are so thankful this Thanksgiving day to announce our little boy was born this past Saturday. Welcome to the world, Andrew Grant!
*If you notice in the pictures Andrew is hooked up to a couple of machines. I will post about labor and delivery and his stay in the NICU in a future post.
I have been very blessed with this pregnancy. I am currently 39 weeks and a week away from my due date. I never got morning sickness or the aversions to certain smells. My feet didn't start to swell until the beginning of last month and was even able to wear heels at my baby shower. Having to run to the bathroom several times an hour didn't even start to happen until last week. I've had relevantly high energy the whole time; however, there are three things I was not expecting, warned about, or even knew would happen. Since I never knew, I'm sharing it with you so you know what's happening if it does happen to you. Every woman experience side effects differently in pregnancy and pregnancy is different every time, but these are the three things that were the hardest on me.
1. PUPPP: Never heard of it? Neither did I. PUPPP stands for Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy. I'm not going to go over all of the details of what is it, you can read more about it here, but what I will tell you it is by far the most irritating side effect of pregnancy and having to pee every five minutes is a walk in the park in comparison. I started experiencing this a few days ago and it leaves me in tears. I start itching uncontrollably on my chest and under my arms. The scary thing is there is only redness from my scratching and no bumps or rash. It's basically invisible hell. I look like a mental case trying to scratch off my skin in these areas. I have tried several itch relief creams and they only help for a few minutes. The best relief I have found as of right now is a warm bath and eucalyptus body wash.
2. Numbness: The most debilitating has been hand numbness. Since a few days before my baby shower, my hands have started to become numb. I can't do anything without my hands tingling in pain after a few minutes. From what I have gathered it is because baby boy is on my spine and messing with my nerves. Since we know he is going to take after his father and be a big baby, I think that it was causing the severity of it. I can't even hold a fork and forget about writing or typing. Talk about frustrating!! There were times at dinner when I would stop eating and begin crying, poor Jack didn't know what to do to help. Sleeping at first was a nightmare. I would wake up in unbearable pain and couldn't get it to stop enough to fall back to sleep. Finally, I bought wrist braces and started sleeping on my back with a pillow on each side to keep me slightly tilted. It helped, but I still wake up in pain from the numbness.
3. Intimacy: Or the lack of. The most frustrating side effect has been the lack of intimacy with Jack. During the first trimester, he was too scared he would cause me to have another panic attack like what happened during our miscarriage earlier this year. Thankfully in the second trimester, it was a lot better and we were able to enjoy some quality time. Then the third trimester when the baby boy really started moving and any time together stopped. He couldn't get over how weird it was once he could see the baby moving. I guess I don't blame him, but I'm carrying all the baby weight in the front and can't even tell I am when my back was turned towards you. Needless to say, I have spent the last few months very frustrated.
These may come to no surprise for you, but they did for me. They have made my last trimester very challenging and I am really starting to count down the days until this little one is out!
From Me...
I created this blog to share my creations with hopes that it will inspire others to show their creative side.

Stopping the Tide of Terrorist Activities in Afghanistan
History has clearly shown the world that war is a slippery slope in Afghanistan. Just killing the so-called "enemy" of the moment does not seem to change the problems in that region. Remember, at one time we supported the mujahadeen against Russia. Later these "Afghan freedom fighters" morphed into the Taliban and many joined up with Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda!
So what is needed besides a military presence in that region?
What are the goals of the U.S. in Afghanistan?
A movie called "Charlie Wilson's War" featuring Tom Hanks as Congressman Charlie Wilson documents the U.S. involvement in Afghanistan in the early 1980's. The problem, we gave lots of weapons and military training to future Taliban and the nascent groups that then became Al Qaeda.
With 20/20 vision, former Congressman Charlie Wilson talks about what he learned from his experience with pushing the military option in Afghanistan in a Washington Post article of 8/28/2008, "Charlie Wilson's Peace":
"We must recognize now, as we learned years ago, that a strong military alone is not enough to ensure our long-term national security."
"If we had done the right thing in Afghanistan then — following up our military support with the necessary investments in diplomacy and development assistance — we would have better secured our own country's future, as well as peace and stability in the region." (Charlie Wilson)
Just killing off one terrorist group will not stop the fundamental problem of people becoming terrorists. In fact, it may just incite more people to want to become terrorists! So, what is the fundamental solution to ending conflict and terrorist activities? As Wilson finally concluded, the country is in dire need of help with basic needs. Charlie Wilson says in the Washington Post:
"But the Afghans, with our weapons, had done nothing less than help precipitate the collapse of the Soviet Union. And instead of intensifying our diplomatic and humanitarian efforts to help the Afghans meet their postwar challenges, we simply walked away — leaving a destroyed country that lacked roads, schools, and any plan or hope for rebuilding."
"It takes much more to make America safe than winning on the battlefield. Had we remained engaged in Afghanistan, investing in education, health and economic development, the world would be a very different place today." (Charlie Wilson)
Charlie Wilson also explains the interconnectedness of all things and all people when he said in the same article:
"The aftermath of a congressional committee's decision so long ago has turned out to be a warning that America is not immune to the problems of the very poorest countries. In today's world, any person's well-being — whether he or she is in Kandahar, Kigali or Kansas — is connected to the well-being of others."
The Role of Dialogue, Diplomacy & Development in Securing the Peace in Afghanistan
Charlie Wilson pointed out in the Washington Post article of 8/2008 that the U.S. spends only 1% of the federal budget on critical elements of foreign policy related to diplomacy and development as compared to the 22% spent each year on the military and weapons.
Now is the time to create more balance in our foreign policy by properly funding non-military operations that help heal the areas of conflict.
Charlie Wilson concluded his article in the Washington Post with a plea to the next President who at the time of the writing of the article had not yet been elected. He said:
"Robust investments in health, education and economic development are critical elements of our national security. I hope the message of our experiences in Afghanistan will resonate with the next president, whoever he is, as he puts in place his strategic vision for America's role in the world."
The Road to a Secure Peace in Afghanistan Mr. President:
Three months after Charlie Wilson's article in the Washington Post, the people of America chose Barack Obama as their 44th President of the United States on November 4, 2008. Barack Obama won the election 52 percent to 46 percent for John McCain. He also won 349 electoral votes compared to 173 for McCain. Basically, President Obama has a mandate from the people. Many people voted for Obama to "get out of Iraq and Afghanistan" and to stem the tide of endless military contracts going to cronies in the former administration. President Obama inherited the problems of the prior administration as well as a new set of challenges confronting the U.S. and world.
A "decider" can best decide what action to take by having the ability to listen objectively to competing views in order to chart the best course forward. In deciding the next step in Afghanistan, the key is to ask,
- Will this action protect U.S. & Afghan lives?
- Will this action help the people of Afghanistan move away from the causes of terrorism?
In answering those important questions, Mr. President, please consider the wisdom of Charlie Wilson to realize that military solutions are not always the best and final solution to solving a protracted conflict. It's time for "Smart Soft Power" approaches.
Professor Joseph Nye co-chaired the Commission on Smart Power with Richard Armitage for the Center for Strategic & International Studies.
The Commission on Smart Power's Report states in the Executive Summary:
To maintain a leading role in global affairs, the United States must move from eliciting fear and anger to inspiring optimism and hope.
The United States must become a smarter power by once again investing in the global good-providing things people and government in all quarters of the world want but cannot attain in the absence of American leadership. By complementing U.S. military and economic might with greater investments in soft power, America can build the framework it needs to tackle tough global challenges.
Professor Joseph Nye talks about Soft Power in an interview at the Harvard Kennedy School shown on You-Tube.
An interesting conference called "The Obama Administration Faces Afghanistan" sponsored by the Arnold A. Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies (SIWPS) at Columbia University, took place on April 24, 2009. This conference consisted of a series of panels that looked at the many issues confronting leaders making decisions about solving problems in Afghanistan. The video below is the first panel.
Panel 1: Afghanistan in Regional and Global Perspective: Kimberly Marten
In order to effectively help Afghanistan, it appears that the U.S. needs to work together with other nations. The fundamental problems in the region are intertwined with basic survival. People need a way to make a living for themselves and their families. Since the literacy rate is quite low, Afghans would benefit from educating both males and females to aid their society. Therefore, the fundamental issue is one of non-military solutions for basic human problems.
What happens in Afghanistan can affect the entire world. Therefore, it is in the interest of the global community to assist with a multi-pronged approach to wean the people away from terrorism and encourage peaceful economic and social development of the region. That would be a win-win situation for Afghanistan, the U.S. and the world community.

Tracey Lindeman
Tracey Lindeman is a freelance journalist based in Ottawa where she writes about technology, transportation and business.
Sylvia Olsen is mad.
In fact, she's spent at least the past 40 years outraged by the conditions that many of Canada's 1.6 million Indigenous people live in—especially the 339,000 who live on-reservation.
Olsen, who has worked as an on-reserve housing specialist for decades, was just 17 when she moved to southern British Columbia's Tsartlip First Nation reserve in 1972. She's a white woman who married in to the nation, one of the 600 or so First Nations and bands that stretch across the country.
"You can't actually believe that this exists in Canada," she says.
She's referring to a housing crisis that has plagued First Nations reserves in Canada for decades, and that is worsening with each passing year.
Currently, in southern Manitoba's Sandy Bay First Nation—a place where winter temperatures often dip below -40 F—people are living in rat-infested homes without heat or reliable electricity. Rampant mold in northern Ontario's Cat Lake First Nation is seriously damaging people's health. In Attawapiskat, some people live in uninsulated sheds. Neskantaga First Nation has had a boil-water advisory for 25 years. In Nunavut, tuberculosis infection rates among Inuit are 26 times the national average due to overcrowded housing. Most people can't afford to do better; 80 percent of reserves have median incomes below Canada's poverty line.
Not all Indigenous people in Canada live on reserves; many have separate land treaties and settlement agreements, while others have yet to reclaim their land. Still, housing shortages are a common problem across most First Nations, Métis, and Inuit territories. This article speaks mainly about First Nations reserves.
In 1876, the Indian Act "reserved" Crown-held land for First Nations and took the rest for itself, thus creating a reservation system that to this day prohibits First Nations people from owning land. On-reserve housing policies in the decades that followed further entrenched a welfare system that ultimately keeps people poor.
"They have controlled the delivery and opportunities for housing to a whole racially-based group of people for 90 years," says Olsen. "It's always been the government's underlying philosophy that First Nations people don't know how to house themselves—'they need our help.'"
But the federal government doesn't really know how to help because housing—like healthcare and education—is a provincial dossier for non-Indigenous Canadians. After years of failed federal projects, First Nations people are clamoring for greater autonomy and more concrete solutions. Many believe that starts with individual land rights.
Because First Nations can't own land, they have no assets against which to secure mortgages. That means people who want to build on-reserve homes need to front 100 percent of their building costs—costs that can surpass normal market value due to the remoteness of many reserves.
Some external programs help, but have limited scope. For instance, Habitat for Humanity Canada's Indigenous Housing Partnership has helped 221 families over the past 11 years secure no-down-payment, interest-free mortgages.
The program has led to more financial stability and better outcomes in health, education, and employment, said Peter De Barros, the organization's vice-president of government and Indigenous affairs, in an email. But even Habitat for Humanity has struggled to break the legal and cultural chains of the Indian Act.
The James Bay Cree Nation in northern Quebec are also looking at creative approaches to ownership as a way of overcoming their housing barriers.
The James Bay Cree are regarded as one of the most affluent First Nations in Canada due to a multi-million-dollar landmark compensation agreement with Quebec and its hydroelectric utility. Money has bought some opportunity, and as a consequence about 95 percent of Quebec Cree still live on the territory—a community-building success that has also led to overcrowding.
Bill Namagoose, executive director for the Cree Nation Government and Grand Council of the Crees, attributes his nation's housing difficulties in part to 75-year limits on land leases. Every time a lease is up for renewal, residents have to plead their case to the chief and council. "If they don't like you they have the power to dispossess you of your house," he explains. The limits strip people of their ability to build equity, and the uncertainty discourages building.
That's why the Crees are looking to new models of private home ownership. "We are trying to change the structure. Instead of having land ownership we would have access to a lot, and the right to access that lot would become the marketable commodity, and you would have perpetual rights to that lot," says Namagoose.
He says a measure like this is imperative to keeping the community together. "We will face an exodus if we don't improve our condition," he says.
Nisga'a First Nation, in northern British Columbia, is a non-reserve community and the first nation in Canada to give land rights to citizens by way of fee-simple (absolute) home ownership.
Since Nisga'a Landholding Transaction Act took effect in 2012, 62 residential parcels have been transferred to fee-simple owners. The land was transferred free of charge to Nisga'a citizens who held land interests ("entitlements"), according to Diane Cragg, Nisga'a Nation's registrar of land titles. Those entitlement holders can also access a Nisga'a Nation mortgage guarantee program.
After the initial transfer, the land owner can give or sell their land to anyone, whether they're Nisga'a or not.
"This means that the land can be mortgaged without the need for a guarantee by the Nisga'a Nation. It also means that Nisga'a citizens with non-Nisga'a family members can undertake estate planning in a reasonable way. Or, if the original Nisga'a owner of the fee simple title wishes to sell the land, that is possible without restriction," Cragg explained in an email.
Since the program started, no one has sold their land to a non-Nisga'a person and no one has defaulted on their mortgage, she added.
Changing, or abolishing, the Indian Act in order to allow land ownership may seem like a logical solution for much of the First Nations housing crisis—but it's not without its criticisms, either.
Many Indigenous people believe that private ownership brings with it a looming threat of foreclosure, which could ultimately chip away at Indigenous territories and rights. It could also disrupt the communal spirit of many communities.
Turning housing over to the provinces, which have jurisdiction over housing for non-Indigenous Canadians, is also a touchy subject. Namagoose says many Indigenous leaders believe that dealing with any foreign entity outside the confines of the Indian Act will erode their people's sovereignty. He think that's ridiculous; Crees have had education and healthcare managed by the Quebec government since 1975.
"Crees have proven that we will deal with the federal government, the Quebec government, any municipality, or any corporation. It doesn't reduce our status as Crees," he says.
To help flatten the curve in the Covid-19 outbreak, officials at all levels of government are asking people to stay home. Here's what's worked, and what hasn't.
Will COVID-19 change how cities are designed? Michele Acuto of the Connected Cities Lab talks about density, urbanization and pandemic preparation.
Because of coronavirus, millions of tenants won't be able to write rent checks. But calls for a rent holiday often ignore the longer-term economic effects.
We must prepare for a protracted battle with coronavirus. But there are changes we can make now to prepare locked-down cities for what's next.
There's a fatal history behind the claim that African Americans are more resistant to diseases like Covid-19 or yellow fever.

Flow of Dividends under a Constant Force of Interest
Juma Kasozi and Jostein Paulsen
DOI : 10.3844/ajassp.2005.1389.1394
American Journal of Applied Sciences
Volume 2, Issue 10
Pages 1389-1394
This study addresses the issue of maximization of dividends of an insurer whose portfolio is exposed to insurance risk. The insurance risk arises from the classical surplus process commonly known as the Cramér-Lundberg model in the insurance literature. To enhance his financial base, the insurer invests in a risk free asset whose price dynamics are governed by a constant force of interest. We derive a linear Volterra integral equation of the second kind and apply an order four Block-by-block method of Paulsen et al.[1] in conjunction with the Simpson rule to solve the Volterra integral equations for each chosen barrier thus generating corresponding dividend value functions. We have obtained the optimal barrier that maximizes the dividends. In the absence of the financial world, the analytical solution has been used to assess the accuracy of our results.

In this first "Straight Talk" of the New Year, I will be discussing the cost of a college education, how special fees are used by universities to evade tuition increase limits and sharing my thoughts on an often overlooked, yet very familiar, source of financial advice.
Although there will be no tuition increases in store for students in the California State University system, it appears that various fees are due to rise over the next five years. With tuition at all 23 CSU campuses frozen by California law at $5,472 per year, the Board of Regents found the fee route a way to circumvent that limit. And some of these fee increases are substantial. At Cal State Fullerton, for example, annual fees triple from $121 to $362, with other schools in the system boosting the tab to as much as $780.
In reality, the cost to attend Cal State is remarkably reasonable when compared to most other universities in the nation. Many institutions with no better academic credentials than Cal State, but which profess to be prestigious, manage to extract sums in excess of $50,000 per year from their hapless students. They arrange this by sophisticated public relations campaigns and an accommodating media. Actually, diligent application for two years at a community college followed by the junior and senior years at any reputable state university will result in as impressive an education as can be gotten by four years at Harvard or Yale. However, such a claim by a credentialed educator would be branded as sacrilegious.
Despite my satisfaction with Cal State and a belief that their total costs are eminently fair, I find fault with the added fees—though for a semantic reason. The fees are proclaimed to be for student services such as extended academic advising, increased Wi-Fi networks and programs for student veterans. In actuality, they're merely a tuition increase by another name—which may well be justified. But my principal objection is the contrived description by which the fees have been publicized. They are known as "Success Fees." I contend this adds insult to injury. You might expect duplicitous marketing of this sort from a gambling house looking to attract dimwits to their slot machines, but students at a university deserve an honest representation as to how their involuntary contributions will really be used.
A final word: I firmly believe that education is the path to success, but I contend that it must be pursued in a way which excludes—or at least minimizes—student debt. The Cal State system, or its equivalent in other states of the union, is the way to go.
My next topic is financial advice; but before I say a word on the subject, let me inform you that I'm not—I repeat, not—a financial planner, nor have I ever been one. And in my lifetime I've never hired one. For the past half-century the investment advice I've relied upon comes from the face in my mirror. Though at times the counsel proved less than astute, one thing I've never doubted: The face in the mirror always has my best interests at heart.
As you might guess, I'm inclined to advocate that each of us choose ourselves as financial advisor. In reality, however, many persons cannot rely upon themselves to oversee their investments. Whatever reasons may be given, it invariably comes down to a matter of temperament. Supervising an investment program requires a systematic mindset, a degree of personal discipline and orientation to detail. Most certainly it helps to be compulsive. Individuals lacking these traits, and who normally perform the function badly, are the logical clients for the financial professionals. It's from this circumstance that problems arise.
To state it bluntly, few financial advisors will serve you well. If they're commission-compensated, expect recommendations which generate for them the largest commissions. For the fee-based variety, with remuneration dictated by a percentage paid on controlled assets, your counselor will normally endorse whatever results in the maximum dollar value of assets. And don't expect enhanced performance because your overseer is licensed, registered or certified. These devices are mere window-dressing. Comedian Mel Brooks most accurately described certified: "You're a nice guy; we like you; you're certified."
I'll leave you with this final thought: Ideally, your advisor shouldn't profit unless you do. However, as members of the advisory trade do not operate this way, there's usually nowhere else to go. If you suspect the face in your mirror is not quite up to the task, your best bet is a financially astute friend or relative who provides counsel gratis, often inviting you to join in as a fellow investor. I've involved myself in this fashion for many years and it works well.

We're well into October, which means Halloween is fast approaching, bringing with it all of the ghosts and ghouls and things that go bump in the night. What better time to be sharing from my latest sci-fi / horror novel Maxx Fragg, V.P.I.? The ghost's out of the bag and Maxx and Tane have their hands full dealing with this glowing horror for my contribution to this week's Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday. I jumped ahead a bit to get into the ghost-hunting action. Don't forget to stop over at the main site SciFiFanSat and check out all the work from some amazing authors. Enjoy.
A rush of blue light exploded from the chimney, flooding into the living room.
Travis' voice jumped two octaves. "Keep it away!"
Clawing over his girlfriend, Travis scrambled to the edge of the couch and pulled his way to the floor.
Maxx shouted, "Debbie, keep him there and don't move. It reacts to sudden movements…and screaming like a girl."
She grabbed Travis' collar and twisted him back to the couch. Gripping him around the waist, she pulled him down and locked him in place with a full nelson. His face forcibly stuffed into the back of the couch, she called back to Maxx, "Okay, I got him, just get rid of that thing."
Maxx's eyes adjusted to the light burst. Hovering above the fireplace, a billowing green wraith snarled at them. Its unhinged jaw dropped down to its chest as it wailed out a blistering scream, wisps of jade fog flowing from its mouth. A viridian glow oozed from its skin as gossamer hair stretched out, like tendrils feeling for prey. Blackened eye sockets slowly scanned the room as its arms stretched and lengthened along the walls, each ending in razor sharp claws.
Maxx hinted a small nod of approval. What Tane lacked in the performing arts category, he made up for in the detail he crafted into their targets.
Well, looks like the boys have their hands full. Let's hope they're up to the task. If you enjoyed the snippet, check out the entire first chapter over on Goodreads or get even more adventurous and pick up your very own copy of Maxx Fragg, V.P.I. by checking it out here - Amazon / S.A. Check. To find out more about the book, stop over at the Facebook / Maxx Fragg page – any and all likes are appreciated. Hope you enjoyed it. See you in seven!

I've never been too keen on Skins. Firstly, I feel a bit too old for it. That's the problem with casting teenagers to play teenagers; I don't want to care what they're doing, because as cool as they are, it's never cool to care about what people younger than you are up to. Secondly, no programme is ever going to top Buffy The Vampire Slayer when it comes to accurate representation of/appropriate metaphors for teenage life. There's one thing that could get me to watch the first episode of the madly hyped new series, though. And that's Franky. Ok, bit harsh to call her a 'thing', but knowing the series' penchant for ticking LGBT boxes, it seems it's gearing up to add the T. Her hair is perfectly androgynous, yet classic; this could be a promo shot for the teen Tipping the Velvet.

Great wrap top!
I love wrap tops but have not been able to find a top that isn't too revealing to wear to work, until now. Leota wrap top fits perfectly, great material, no clinging where you don't want it to cling, love it! Wish they made a short sleeve & sleeveless in the same material!

Hints And Guidelines For Using Cash Advance Loans Wisely
Do you have an unexpected expense? Do you need a bit of help making it to your next pay day? You can get a Complaints About Great Plains Lending to get you through the next couple of weeks. You can usually get these loans quickly, but first you need to know some things. Here are some tips to help.
Many of us will find ourselves in desperate need of money at some point in our lives. If you can help from doing this, do so. The best option would be to borrow from a personal friend, family member, or bank.
When attempting to attain a payday loan as with any purchase, it is wise to take your time to shop around. Different places have plans that vary on interest rates, and acceptable forms of collateral.Try to find a loan that works in your best interest.
Realize that you are giving the payday loan access to your personal banking information. That is great when you see the loan deposit! However, they will also be making withdrawals from your account. Make sure you feel comfortable with a company having that kind of access to your bank account. Know to expect that they will use that access.
Remember that there are steep penalties for paying late. Sometimes, there may be unforeseen circumstances that change whether you can pay back a loan. The contract features fine print that you'll have to read if you want to know what you'll have to pay in late fees. Late fees can be very high for payday loans, so make sure you understand all fees before signing your contract.
Make sure you select your payday loan carefully. You should consider how long you are given to pay back the loan and what the interest rates are like before choosing your payday loan. See what your best options are and then make your selection in order to save money.
Make sure that you read the rules and terms of your payday loan carefully, so as to avoid any unsuspected surprises in the future. You should understand the entire loan contract before you sign it and receive your loan. This will help you make a better choice as to which loan you should accept.
Avoid using a high-interest payday loan if you have other options available. This is because you suffer very large interest rates when applying for cash advance loans. You could wind up having to pay 25% or more of your loan in interest. Before you resign yourself to those punitive charges, make sure you have eliminated all your other options.
Read the fine print before getting any loans.
Since there are usually additional fees and terms hidden there. Many people make the mistake of not doing that, and they end up owing much more than they borrowed in the first place. Always make sure that you understand fully, anything that you are signing.
Your credit record is important when it comes to cash advances. You may still be able to get a loan, but it will probably cost you dearly with a sky-high interest rate. If you have good credit, payday lenders will reward you with better interest rates and special repayment programs.
Although you should never use cash advances as a primary way to pay your bills due to the high interest rates, they can be a great help if you need money quickly and have no other options. Complaints About Great Plains Lending Remember the tips in this article, so you can use cash advances wisely.

text: Theory: Same text as hyperlink1.2 Adaptive interactivity Considering the online environment, you cannot encounter the world wide web as a set of isolated 'individuals'. We must rather define this as a society, even though the act of browsing may be done individually. The semantic regime of the web consequently effects information management systems that are based on frequencies and ranking. The frequency of views functions as a 'vote of confidence', which means that user activities can and mostly will affect the given search requests (Groot, 2012). There by metadata created by interaction with the web constitutes strategic decisions, based on the social profile of the user. This so called "social protocol" (Groot, 2012) affects our behaviour and creates a space in which pre-emptive behaviour affects the content, as seen by the user. In other words: the user is aware of the fact that he or she can design his or her own convictions, in terms of representation of the content he or she sees and shares. The effect of this behaviour takes control of future search results, which lays the foundation for any possible future results. This differs from the effects generated by analogue sources, where the user is in control of the selection of content without any algorithm influencing the results of future search questions. In the 'analogue' world, a network of people and institutions are influencing what content is presented, rather than a biased algorithm. The way the reader is capable to find and read analogue information is based on the availability and in so suggestive results are based on an information limit. The internet deals with this problem by presenting an infinite amount of information, but it needs to add a feature with which the user is able to find the content he or she seeks. In order to get to this content, monitoring is needed to direct to the right webpages containing the desired information. This is not limited to one of the user's media and devices, but rather creates a network in which algorithms work as overarching mechanism, influencing the content found throughout the user's online activity. This creates a specific online reading protocol, that differs from the offline protocol.


text: Dark matter searches in gamma ray final states often make use of the fact that photons can be produced from final state muons. Modern Monte Carlo generators and dark matter codes include the effects of final state radiation from muons produced in the dark matter annihilation process itself, but neglect the O(1%) radiative correction that arises from the subsequent muon decay. After implementing this correction we demonstrate the effect that it can have on dark matter phenomenology by considering the case of dark matter annihilation to four muons via scalar mediator production. We first show that the AMS-02 positron excess can no longer easily be made consistent with this final state once the Fermi-LAT dwarf limits are calculated with the inclusion of radiative muon decays, and we next show that the Fermi-LAT galactic center gamma excess can be improved with this final state after inclusion of the same effect. We provide code and tables for the implementation of this effect in the popular dark matter code micrOMEGAs, providing a solution for any model producing final state muons.

Lucille M. Woelfel, age 93, of Chilton, died on Monday, February 6, 2012 at Woodlands Assisted Living in Fond du Lac. She was born April 4, 1918 in Chilton, daughter of the late Fred & Lucy (Hemauer) Ludwig. Lucille married Mark Woelfel on November 26, 1945 at St. Mary Catholic Church in Chilton; he preceded her in death on May 6, 1951. Lucille was a member of Good Shepherd Catholic Church, formerly St. Mary's Parish and worked at the John Butz Pharmacy in Chilton until her retirement. Following her retirement, she took time to travel and enjoy simple pleasures in life like word searches and sewing. Lucille was a friendly individual who was always willing to lend a helping hand to those around her. Throughout life, she took great care of her family in both body and soul. With her love and patience, she was able to develop a close and personal bond with her daughter and grandchildren; a bond so strong and meaningful that it cannot be broken, even in the face of death. Lucille's family holds tight to her wisdom, knowing full well that by the grace of God, "It'll all work out." Survivors include her daughter: Shirley (James) Luby of Fond du Lac; 3 grandchildren: Lori (Greg) Kraus of Atlanta, GA, Pam (Ryan) Gross of Fond du Lac, Jamie (Brian) Reetz of Verona; 4 great-grandchildren: Ashley, Abigail, Alexander Kraus, Kaden Gross; a niece: Kathy Ludwig of Milwaukee; and a nephew: Ken (Jennifer) Ludwig and their children, Katye & Evan of Milwaukee. Lucille was preceded in death by her parents; her husband: Mark; and a brother: Gilbert (Rola) Ludwig. Funeral service will be at 6:00 PM on Thursday, February 9, 2012 at Good Shepherd Catholic Church (54 E. Main St.) in Chilton. Burial will be in the St. Mary Catholic Cemetery in Chilton on Friday at 10:00 AM. Friends may call at the church from 4:00 PM until 5:45 PM on Thursday, February 9, 2012. Lucille's family would like to thank the entire staff of Woodlands Assisted Living and the Hospice Program of Agnesian Health for all of the wonderful, loving care which was provided to their beloved mother and grandmother. Memorials are appreciated in the name of Lucille M. Woelfel.

Mangaluru, Jan 23, 2018: The district police have urged two-wheeler riders to mandatorily wear helmets of good quality bearing ISI or BSI mark on them.
In a media release issued on Jan 22, Monday, they said it had come to their notice that many riders and pillion riders were wearing helmets of substandard quality. This resulted in severe injuries and even deaths during accidents. These poor-quality head gear are usually purchased from vendors on road-sides. The riders and pillion riders should buy good quality helmets with ISI and BSI marks, the police advised.
If the riders or pillion riders are found wearing poor-quality helmets, legal action would be taken against them by the police.
People can pass on information regarding illegal manufacture or sale of such substandard helmets by calling 100 or 0820-2526709; or they can inform the nearest police station, the release said.

The original news was that the students, including Nicholas Sandmann, confronted and accosted Nathan Phillips by swarming him and threatening him in a physical manner and blocking him and refusing to allow him to retreat.
Video showed that prior to the interaction with Phillips, the kids were taunted by a group of black preachers using homophobic slurs. The kids sat down and did some school chants to try to avoid the situation. Nathan Phillips went up to the group of kids banging on his drum and chanting. They did not confront Phillips
There is a big disparity between what was initially reported by news (and along with that the condemnation and attacks on the kids, including death threats), and what actually happened.

Greg was about midway through the 4th & final flight on Sunday afternoon, May 5th when he sensed that something was wrong & decided to land the Stearman. Just as it stopped rolling the cowl & engine fell in the grass! The prop, hub, cowl & the rest of the Stearman were all undamaged. The following pictures show the process of building a new much stronger engine box.

|Book Description
|For years, chen cao managed to balance the interests of the communist party and the promises made by his job. He was both a chief inspector of special investigations of the shanghai police department and the deputy party secretary of the bureau. He was considered a potential rising star in the party until, after one too many controversial cases that embarrassed powerful elements in the party, chen cao found himself neutralised. Under the guise of a major promotion, a new position with a substantial title but no power, he's stripped of his job duties and isolated. That's still not enough, as it becomes increasingly clear that someone is attempting to set him up for public disgrace and possibly worse. Chen cao is technically in charge of the corruption case of a red prince - a powerful, high party figure who embodies the ruthless ambition, greed, and corruption that is increasingly evident in the new china. This red prince has the kind of connections and power to deflect any attempts to bring him to justice. Now, with no power, few allies, and with his own reputation on the line, the former inspector chen is facing the most dangerous investigation of his life.

A detailed market analysis will be available shortly.
Despite mission life once severely curtailing their traditional beliefs and practices, the artists of Kalumburu today are the financial mainstay of their small remote township found at the tip of the Western Australian coast. The Karedada family (named after their totem, the butcherbird or karadada) have been instrumental in this regard. Jack and his wife Lily, as well as other family members, provided artworks for the first exhibition of Wanjina paintings in Perth during the 1970's. In those days, a small bark Wanjina painting could sell for 20 dollars, unlike recently when a bark by Jack Karedada sold for in London for 100,000 pounds. That particular image, Namarali – The First One, shows the great Wanjina who brought the first man and woman to the earth. When Namarali died from a spear wound to his side during a great battle that is said to have shaped the rugged, western Kimberley coastline, he was buried on a raised platform and his image painted in the caves. His spiritual essence resides there and still teaches humans how to live by the sacred Law and perform the rituals of life and death.
Jack Karedada's Wanjina figures characteristically have their eyes joined or touching in the middle with a thin stroke of a nose or sometimes none at all, and no mouth. Their heads are surrounded by an impressive halo of rays. The rain making power of the ancestral Wanjinas once brought a great flood that swept away the previous landscape and society. (A myth possibly rooted in archaeological evidence from the ending of the last Ice Age). Such a catastrophe could easily occur again, we are told, if mouths are included in the image. The soft rain-like pattern inside and around Jack's Wanjina figures brings life and fertility to the land. In the spectacular caves and rock shelves that house the original images, where young boys were taken for initiation and instruction in the responsibilities of manhood, the Wanjina are still re-touched with fingers and ground ochres by tribal elders. Their preservation has been facilitated by the transference to bark painting and the appreciation by a wider audience of these mysterious and enigmatic figures.
In Michael Edols film series, Lalai Dreamtime (1972), the traditional hunter-gatherer lifestyle of this region is respectfully recorded, followed by the growing and destructive impact of the dominating European culture. The films were lauded by German director Werner Herzog (among other European directors) and inspired Herzog's own filmmaking excursions to Australia. Present during the making of these films, Jack Karedada brought paintings to show Edols and the image of Namarali, complete with a human dangling from each hand, crossed intact the treacherous cultural divide. It was this painting that recently sold in at Sotheby's London, attesting to the lasting and magnetic power of the Wanjina.

With Budget 2018, yet another time salaried employees feel cheated and unheard by the government. Since total salaried employees who pay taxes in India is less than 1.6%. Many are beginning to feel the heat of being from 'true minority' and they have lot to say.
'Yes it is true, while my illiterate cousin in village makes 30 lakhs profit from farming and drives SUV. I earn 6 lakhs in year only to pay taxes. We feel we are more rare than tigers in India. With only 1.6% we are minority who has only right to pay taxes,' says angry Sasta Ghulaam, who hit the fame recently after showing his salary slip to autorikshaw driver for a free ride. And many took his unique idea without even thanking him.
'I was calculating my net savings only to get astonishing numbers. Let us say I have CTC of 100 rupees. I get gross salary of 80 rupees ( assuming my manager, my HR and company loves me). After tax deductions I get 70 rupees. Then I pay other taxes on whatever I need to buy. Finally I am left with not more than 5-10 rupees! Isn't this amazing! Scientists from ISRO confirmed that salary of employee decays faster than most radioactive elements on earth,' said another software engineer.
'This is annoying. Now stupid employees come to me asking for more raise and putting cess hike to 4% as reason for appraisal. I am thinking to take this matter to government and ask them to take employees salary directly into their accounts and give them money for their needs. At least in this manner, employees will not complain for taxes,' said HR Policywala.
'Many salaried employees are forming whatsapp groups and have started sharing their tax deductions and difference between gross and net salary in morning. This is frightening. And very depressing. If every state and every community can ask of minority status, why can't we get it too? After all we are minority of only 1.6% population. The government forgets us, the politicians don't care about us. Bachelors remain bachelors till eternity. Where is #myachedin ?' says angry manager who recently got hike.
In midst of all this, we did notice something unusual. A young software engineer remained calm and smiling. On confronting, he explained the secret of his happiness.
'I work in Dinosys. It has been 2 years and my salary is still below tax bracket. My manager calmed me, and told he will increase my salary as the tax bracket increases. Till then he will not burden me for paying taxes. He truly loves me you know,' said software engineer as he left to sit on his bench.
