At the weekend, five by-elections were held in Australia. Before the ongoing fallout from the Section 44 Constitutional tizzie caused these five members to resign there were four Labor members and one Centre Alliance member in those seats; after the simultaneous by-elections there were four Labor members and one Centre Alliance member in those seats. All of this means to say that as far as the makeup of the parliament is concerned, the actual consequence of the Festival Of Democracy Sausage 2018, was nil. Precisely zero seats changed hands. The make up of government remains unchanged. The government's majority of one, remains unchanged.
Yawn. Crick. Roll over. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
I wanted to look at the total votes cast and see if that would indicate any general trends but the data is inconclusive at best. The WA Liberals didn't bother to contest either of the seats in Western Australia, Rebecca Sharkey proved to be somewhat popular in her seat in South Australia; this only leaves one seat in Queensland and one in Tasmania and that's not really enough to draw any proper inferences from.
I have read predictions from pundits predicting:
84 - Labor
62 - Coalition
5 - Other
79 - Coalition
67 - Labor
5 - Other
As well as:
73 - Coalition
73 - Labor
5 - Other
About the only thing which anyone can agree on is that the five independents are well liked by their constituents and that they will probably all be reelected. When you read commentary from various sources who all read into the data and see what they want to see and they all come up with different outcomes, then that says that trying to predict the future is pointless. In my previous post I predicted that nothing would happen (and nothing did) but when you have a general election, with some boundary redrawing and a new seat being added, then who knows even which way is up?
There was hype before the by-elections that they were referenda on the leadership of both Malcolm Turnbull and Bill Shorten. That might very well be true in a general election when the nation decides who it wants to govern it but if all politics are local to some degree, then a by-election that will not change who is in government can hardly be called that. If the fate of practically nothing is in the balance then it's hardly a referendum on anything except who the local member is.
There possibly could be a case made that had the Liberal Party taken a seat away in any of these by-elections then that could be taken to mean that the public likes what the government is doing but given that that hasn't happened in 98 years, then it would mean that the people really really like what the government is doing. In almost every major democratic political institution around the world there is a tendency to for whoever is not currently in power, in any special election or by-election which is caused by a casual vacancy, and this extends to midterm and half term elections where you have a president which is voted in separately from the legislature. In Australia we go one step further and also tend to vote for the political party that isn't in power federally, into government at state level. That trend is weaker but it's still noticeable.
If we strike off Perth and Fremantle which were uncontested and Mayo which was held by the Centre Alliance, then the only two contests worth bothering with were Braddon and Longman. If you assume that they're one giant conglomo-electorate, then the uniform swing is only 2.24% in favour of Labor. If you plug those numbers into the
post-election pendulum following the 2016 Australian federal election, then the result of the next election looks like:
82 - Labor
64 - Coalition
5 - Other
Two seats is never useful in trying to guess what the results of a general election is though. You may as well be trying to extrapolate a model of the entire universe using a piece of fairy cake as a starting point; which is not only unwise but subject to errors.
In short, I consider the fact that I predicted the results of all five by-elections a freak event and would take any prediction that anyone makes in future with a grain of salt, and a slice of lemon.
Yawn. Crick. Roll over. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

Date / Time / Location:
In case you somehow missed it, the wedding will be at The Trull Farm on Saturday, April 16th at 6:00pm. Feel free to arrive as early as you'd like, and stay as late as you'd like. Immediately following the ceremony, there will be a reception. There's no definitive itinerary with stringent timelines; we just want to get married and have a good time with friends and family.
Although a night wedding typically indicates a more dressy affair, we want all of our guests to be comfortable. We understand that this is an outdoor event, and we don't want the ladies suffering from aching feet or the men sweating to death in heavy sport coats. That being said, wear what you'd like. We definitely want our guests to enjoy the night, so if that means that everyone shows up in flip flops and overalls, then that's just fine with us.
For those who are curious, we will be serving heavy hors d'oeuvres at the reception. We will have a variety of yummy finger foods for people to snack on throughout the evening as well as some sweet treats for folks to enjoy. There won't be a formal, sit-down dinner, so guests will be free to explore the Trull farm and peruse the various food options. Also, no alcohol will be served; Phillip and I don't drink, and let's face it, alcohol simply doesn't fit into our radical wedding.
The Trull farm is about 30 minutes outside of Tuscaloosa. To be exact, it's 25 miles from the intersection of Hwy 82 & Hwy 69. It's not tough to find, but at times, it can seem like you're driving into no-mans-land. But if you can remember: left, right, left, right, left, you're in good shape. If you left your manly-man sense of direction at home, you're doomed.
Not really. If you have an iPhone (and perhaps any other smart phone), you can click here, then within your map, click the blue arrow. Select "Directions To Here", then press "Route". This may or may not take you the same path as described below, but that doesn't really matter. As long as you get here, it's all good!

ALTHOUGH the conservation area has been board-free since the end of 2012 the odd estate agent still occasionally puts up an illegal board.
This board, in Montpelier Terrace, was photographed in February. The MCHA reported it to the council and the board was removed within a week.
Estate agents' boards were banned on residential properties in almost all of the city's central conservation areas in September 2010. However legacy boards–those that had been put up before September 2010 could remain. This created a messy changeover.

Tailoring treatments to the individual patient based on their predicted response or risk of disease is the next evolution of health care. Called personalized medicine, this field is rapidly moving from the experimental to the practical—and it's readily apparent that we will need more data to feed the complex systems that can help predict a patient's medication response or risk of disease.
At Partners, we're working to satisfy this growing need by integrating previously isolated "islands" of patient data into a centralized repository called the Big Data Commons. Within the Commons classical clinical patient data is combined genomic and high-resolution imaging data and new types of information supplied by patients – through patient experience surveys that measure functioning before and after a procedures, and mobile and "wearable" tracking instruments like FitBit and Apple Watch.
"All of this aggregation is done under a strict veil of patient privacy and supervised by the Partners Institutional Review Board to ensure that individual patients never have their data inappropriately exposed," said Dr. Shawn Murphy, Partners HealthCare Corporate Director of Research Information Systems and Computing and one of the leaders of the Big Data Commons.
Personalized medicine relies on comparing a patient's unique characteristics against a large amount of data in order to tailor medical decisions and interventions to them.
The challenge with personalized medicine is to discover and refine methods that sort through the mountains of data in ways that ultimately impacts patient care. "Through the Big Data Commons, investigators are able to search for disease characteristics as well as genomic data, biobank samples, imaging data, and other attributes from many registries and data repositories within the Partners HealthCare system," Dr. Murphy said.
This process, Dr. Murphy explained, allows researchers to create patient datasets that are relevant to specific questions. The goal is a better understanding of how diseases develop, and then how to manage, treat, or cure them in specific patients.
"As a first step, there is a lot of behind-the-scenes work to refine relatively low quality data into data that is meaningful for research and clinical care. We have developed sophisticated algorithms to achieve this," Dr. Murphy said.
For example, depression diagnoses in billing data are only accurate half the time; this is because a depression billing code may be entered to cover a screening visit where a patient's symptoms are discussed with a care provider prior to a true clinical diagnosis being made. However, the unique data processing methods within the Big Data Commons can refine the billing-code data by comparing it to additional patient data (such as subsequent visit notes and medications prescribed); patients who do not have depression are removed from the dataset, increasing the accuracy to about 87%. "Creating a high-quality dataset from these various data 'islands' is very powerful and can lead us to understand which differences in patients are important for determining disease," Dr. Murphy said.
Further, by combining image data with a clinical finding of treatment-resistant depression, investigators were able to see changes in the growth of new nerve appendages between treatment-resistant and treatment-responsive patients. This suggests that differences in the microstructure of the brain underlie persistent, treatment-resistant depression. "Understanding if a patient has similar brain features may help with the medical intervention their care team develops to treat their depression," Dr. Murphy said.
Another use of the Big Data Commons is to understand how gene variations impact different disease traits. Mining through the various data sources has allowed Partners researchers to predict treatment response to costly medications. For example, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment was revolutionized by expensive biologic drugs that target inflammatory pathways. However, if physicians could predict a patient's treatment-response, they could develop targeted therapies based on a patient's individual genomic and biologic markers and substantially reduce the costs of RA treatment while also improving outcomes.
Ultimately, the Big Data Commons is a necessary response to the increasingly complicated world of medicine. As the work continues, Dr. Murphy and others at Partners believe it will result in a proven process for effectively managing complex treatment programs and the development of personalized care plans for patients.
"The Partners Big Data Commons is an advancement that few other health care systems have achieved," Dr. Murphy said. "We're forging a future that will apply advanced techniques to predict disease and improve outcomes for our patients."

How to find the news or stories in your business
At the core of any successful public relations program is having newsworthy stories to share which will be of interest to your target audience, to media and bloggers, and in social media. There is an art to uncovering newsworthy stories and it takes time to develop this skill.
The first thing to remember is that finding and developing your business' stories shouldn't exist in a vacuum. Before you can jump into uncovering newsworthy stories, you should start by researching your target audience, as well as your media and social media targets first. What are your target audience interested in? What are journalists or bloggers writing about? What's getting traction on social media?
The second thing to consider is that many of the things you may think are interesting about your business may not actually be newsworthy. This is why understanding what makes something newsworthy is so important before you launch your PR program.
The third thing to keep in mind is that even if you have a great and newsworthy story to tell, it won't necessarily get picked up. The media don't owe you a story and depending on what is happening on any given day, your story may get a run or it may not.
So, how do you identify whether a story is newsworthy or not?
Each story should be assessed on a case by case basis, especially in regards to who you're targeting or what media you're approaching. However, there are some hallmarks of newsworthy stories you should keep in mind. Your story may not need to meet all of these criteria, however it should at least meet one or two.
When you sit down to identify the newsworthy stories in your business ask yourself the following about the story:
- Is it timely or topical?
- Is it relevant?
- Is it credible?
- Who is involved?
- Is it local?
- Is it controversial or debatable?
- Is it unique, surprising or unusual?
- Does it reference current or future trends?
- Will it tap into people's emotions?
Remember, finding newsworthy stories in your business is by no means an exact science. Knowing your target audience and target media inside and out is a great start – the rest comes down to practice and experience. When in doubt, engaging the experts can make a huge difference. PR professionals have honed the craft of identifying creative and unique story angles over the course of many years.
If working with an agency is out of reach, don't be deterred, identifying what is newsworthy is a skill you can develop over time.

Beauty Sleeping by Farha Hasan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Beauty Sleeping is the first book in the Make a Wish series and an adult Sleeping Beauty retelling. Laila lays in the hospital in a coma but has a supernatural connection to those that visit her and even some that don't. She needs to somehow bring her Prince Charming to her to wake her from her sleep.
Meanwhile, Safia and Aiden are both overworked and in their separate lives but seem to be on a inevitable course. Destiny and fate are in their paths as the young sleeping girl watches over them both from her hospital room.
Beauty Sleeping started off a tad confusing for me bringing in all the different characters and their different POVs. I wasn't quite sure as the story was introducing everyone who they were and what they would mean to the story for a while since it didn't seem immediately obvious how everyone would connect.
As the story moves on though the touches of supernatural were a nice addition but again with the pacing and writing style it took me a while to link it all together. Perhaps this was all just me but it just seemed to not mesh well together until the second half of the book when you learn more of the details.
Overall, not too bad a story after the slow start to me though. Interesting to make this one into a retelling involving adults and their busy lives and problems.
I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

RHOA Producers Offer Kenya Moore 90% Salary Reduction!
Kenya Moore is ranting again over getting booted from The Real Housewives of Atlanta!
CLICK: 'Let A Bish Know!' Fired Kenya Moore Begs For #RHOA Job In Cryptic Farewell Post!
On Tuesday, the former reality star went on a Twitter bender — according to Moore, RHOA producers found little value in her marriage/baby storyline — so they offered her next to nothing to do another season.
A fan made the following statement on Twitter — claiming RHOA production was scrambling to "reintroduce" Moore to the group.
Moore responded to the rumor above and clarified it was false — producers are not actively pursuing her for the Bravo reality series — and she was "never offered a friend role," like she has implied in previous social media postings.
"Nope… was never offered a friend role, just friend $ to do the same job and show family and baby story. No movement in negotiations but not to worry… a girl has options just in case," Moore tweeted on July 24.
Ironically, on the same day Moore spilled this tea on Twitter, blogger Love B. Scott, reported similar details.
"Bravo execs are demanding Kenya film her pregnancy journey with her husband and stay on a full 'housewife' filming schedule, but punish her by cutting her salary 90% and paying her as a friend."
Moore's fate with The Real Housewives of Atlanta was sealed after her 2017 secret wedding to Marc Daly — and absolute refusal to film her post-married life.
Kenya Moore Post Cryptic #RHOA Farewell Message and Fans React!
The former beauty queen has yet to prove she's actually married and/or pregnant — and with her extensive history of fabricating storylines — producers decided to fire Moore for the show's 11th season.
"I feel you, as a fan I wholeheartedly agree this would be the pinnacle of my tenure on the show. The fans deserve to see my happy ending… unfortunately, it's not up to me. Maybe I should have committed some crimes," she tweeted on June 24.
The 47-year-old has launched an aggressive social media crusade, pleading for her return but after going off on RHOA production while filming season 10 and hiding her married life — the diva's antics have earned her a spot on the unemployment line.
"To be honest yeah it does. A dream would be to have everything aligned for once in my life… falling in love, getting married, having a baby, businesses thriving and work life… all at 47 God will have my back," Moore tweeted a fan on Tuesday — once again, failing to recognize that her inflated ego played a role in her demise.
RHOA producers want storylines rooted in truth and have replaced Moore with newcomer Eva Marcille, who is getting married to her fiancé, Michael Sterling.
Share your thoughts on RHOA's insulting lowball offer to Kenya Moore. Sound off in the comments!

Out of the melting pot of early automotive development came various attempts to prove the potential of this emerging breed of self-propelled carriages by racing them against each other.
One of the earliest races in the US was sponsored by the Chicago Times-Herald to the tune of $5000. It drew plenty of interest but also highlighted the shortage of automobiles fit for the task.
The race was fixed for 2 November 1895 and attracted close on 100 entries, but, as Autocar put it, "in nearly every case the machines were designed and intended to be constructed specially for the contest [and] the time allowed was not sufficient. On the date named, two carriages only were ready, the others asking for an extension of time".
The Chicago Times-Herald offered $500 for the two cars to go over the 94-mile course. That duel was won by a vehicle entered by H Müller and Co of Decatur, Illinois. The car completed the route in 8hr 44min. The other car, entered by the Duryea Motor Waggon Company of Springfield, Massachusetts, was disabled by an accident en route.
When the day of the rescheduled main race rolled around, "the weather was most unfavourable, four inches of snow and mud being on the ground".
Of the 31 machines that were now ready, only six decided to face the conditions, the rest declining "even though the course was confined to the immediate neighbourhood of Chicago and had been reduced to 54 miles".
The six that appeared at the start in Jackson Park included the entries from Müller and Duryea, as well as two other petrol-powered cars from the De La Vergne Refrigerating Machine Company and RH Macy Company, both of New York. Two electric-powered machines were entered, one by Morris and Salom of Philadelphia, the other by Sturges Electric Motocycle of Chicago.

The Soulweaver Series
BOOK 1 The Soulweaver
She's loved and lost him a hundred times across a thousand years. She can't bear to lose him again.
Lin's dreams are haunted by faces of people she's never met. Unable to shake the feeling she's lived before, she's drawn to Reinier—a stranger whose soul is heartbreakingly familiar from a time gone by.
Reinier helps Lin unravel the mystery of her past life as Hannah, a girl who sacrificed herself for her true love, Matthew. As Lin falls hopelessly in love with Reinier, her memories of her life as Hannah sharpen and she finds herself unable to let go of Matthew.
With her heart torn in two, Lin must decide whether she should stand by Reinier's side or track down Matthew and fight for his love. What she doesn't know is that her decision will ripple across our troubled planet, affecting far more lives than just her own.
Winner of Romance Writers of Australia's Emerald Pro award, The Soulweaver is a story that will change the way you see the world.
BOOK 2 The Truthseeker
Can she learn to forgive before her time runs out again? Or will the truth destroy her?
Maari doesn't care that Nax is an outcast. She's drawn to him in a way she can't explain, determined to teach him to embrace the strange world they live in. But just as his heart opens wide, a force greater than them threatens to tear them apart.
Nax and Maari travel to the depths of the ocean to visit an old woman known as the Truthseeker. She unravels the mystery behind their connection, and warns them to run as far away from each other as they can. But staying away isn't possible when you've found the person who brings your soul to life.
Far away, two sisters are born into extreme poverty, quickly discovering the key to their survival is their strength together. It isn't until one sister threatens to steal away the love of other that their bond shatters and a true struggle for survival begins.
As these two stories merge into one, we learn that when soulmates meet, there's nothing that can keep them apart. Except love.
BOOK 3 The Shadowmaker
What if the only way to find the path home is to leave it behind?
When Valentina walks into the ocean, she says goodbye to everyone she knows. But the memory of the person who fills all the spaces of her heart will keep her safe, no matter where her journey takes her next.
Buzz is also sent far away, although to a loner like him this doesn't sound like such a bad idea. Until he finds himself stranded all alone in a place that is so much like home, yet it couldn't be more different.
Just as he wonders how he'll survive in this strange land, a small girl with a familiar soul appears and changes everything once more.
Isolated from the world, without so much as a language in common, somehow they learn to thrive. Together, they create a new kind of world to live in – one that not only binds them, but draws others to their side.
It is here that two worlds will finally become one. As hearts merge and threaten to break, souls will entwine, holding each other close for the remainder of time.
The Moonchild is the touching prequel to The Soulweaver series and is available as a FREE novelette when you sign up to Heidi Catherine's newsletter.
To touch the moon, you have to catch a falling star.
When Charlie meets Essie as a young child in outback Australia, he's drawn to her in a way he doesn't understand. She's so different to him, yet somehow they're exactly the same.
As they kick up the red sand of the desert by day and sit on the porch with their eyes glued to the stars by night, they learn that they're capable of so much more than they imagined.
Never forgetting the time they spent together, when they meet again as adults they discover the impact they had on each other's lives. But when Essie's star threatens to fall, Charlie refuses to believe that he may not be able to catch her this time.
This is a story of an unlikely friendship with bonds that last not just for a lifetime, but far beyond.

All that Glitters Is Not Gold, or: One Case Against the Dread Pirate Roberts for Chief Justice - And May Other Cases Be Made
Supreme Court Chief Justice nominee John Roberts sure seems like a nice guy. He has a suitably handsome wife, and two well-scrubbed children. Man what an All-American portrait they paint. Even unapologetic liberals like myself had a hard time not rooting for the guy. His high-school teachers have come forth to hail him as the greatest intellectual his prep school have ever seen. Harvard alum after Harvard alum after Harvard alum has come forward to say that he was quiet, studious, well-scrubbed, All American, and very, very, very nice. Yes, I even breathed a sigh of relief. Hey, he's not as bad a Edith Brown Clement, right?
But no more. I shook the cob-webs off, and I hope you will do the same.
The media have been faithful in their depictions of a bright, amiable, enigmatic man. Is he really conservative, or does he advocate skillfully for positions that he does not hold? It's all so difficult to figure out.
Ann Coulter, that screaming shrew with limited access to reason and logic, made a masterful play in criticizing the administration for not selecting a card-carrying member of the conservative party. At first, it made me think that maybe Bush selected a moderate because, as so many papers were quick to suggest - he is politically weak right now and could not (a) force a very conservative nominee through the Senate, or (b) afford to lose a nomination battle. But what Ann was doing, me now thinks, was contributing to the hype: Roberts is not so bad, he's not Edith Brown Clement bad, and any Democrat who refused this guy (when he has a young handsome family to support) is just down right unreasonable. Wow that's slick. I mean, even I almost bought it, and I'm practically a jenious.
It's like being told that Barry Bonds is going to hit you in the head, full force, with an aluminum bat, but then only having Barbara Bush laugh in your face because you're poor and homeless and you don't know where all your loved ones are and you might have e. coli or cholera, and you're very, very thirsty...so thirsty and naked and alone and cold. So cold. So very cold.
It's amazing how something bad doesn't seem all that bad when something worse is expected. It's all about setting low expectations, and no one has set lower expectations than your man in Crawford and Washington: "Dubya." It's like a game of how low can we go where the answer is always "lower than that...lower still...yep, even lower..."
So is Roberts really a conservative, or is he some level-headed man of reason?
[Notice my either/or there? Tee hee...]
For me, the answer is: he is really conservative. What I mean by that is: (a) he really is conservative, and (b) he is really (read "very") conservative.
I keep wondering why the White House won't release a lot of his writings - especially his work as deputy under then Solicitor General Ken Starr. If all they did was establish the nominee as intelligent and wise, they would have been all over the Wall Street Journal by now. There's something in there they don't want us to know. Under another President, I might buy the claim of attorney-client privelege, or the claim of not wanting to set a bad precendent, but this President is so consistent in his willingness to bend or break the truth, that he is no longer worthy of trust. He's hiding something.
But the one thing we know about Supreme Court nominees, is that they can disappoint their selectors. Lots of libs were worried about Souter, but he is one of the Court's staunchest protectors of the bill of rights. JFK nominated Byron White, and, well, "Whizzer" wasn't exactly the most liberal fellow, now was he? I'm sure Reagan expected more from Justice O'Connor than he received. So, it is possible that Roberts would go on to disappoint. But who among us would count on it? Not I.
But this one thing alone makes Roberts unfit to be the Chief Justice. Ready?
On April 1st, Attorney General (and fool) Alberto Gonzales interviewed Roberts as a potential SC nominee.
Later that month, the AG filed an appeal in the Ahmed Hamdan case - regarding the administration's challenge of the Geneva conventions and its effort to torture and detain with impunity at Guantanamo.
In May, Gonzales, this time with Karl Rove, Dick "go f--- yourself" Cheney and other top administration officials again interviewed Roberts for a potential SC slot.
While these interviews were taking place, Roberts was presiding over the Hamdan case.
[Read that previous line again, please.]
Roberts and two other judges ruled in favor of the administration in Hamdan.
[I'll pause while you digest your surprise.]
Four days later, guess who was selected to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court?
[I'm sorry to keep springing stuff on you like this. Truly.]
Well now, there's the appearance of impropriety, and then there's out and out impropriety.
Does anyone reading this - anyone - believe that Roberts would have been the nominee if he ruled the other way in Hamdan? Anyone?
Does anyone reading this think that John Roberts should NOT have recused himself from the Hamdan case?
Does anyone reading this think that Roberts would have been the nominee if he would have recused himself?
Does anyone think that politics is not irretrievably vulgar?
Does anyone - especially in the "justice for hire" era of Antonin Scalia - does anyone believe that the Court is squeaky clean?
What bugs me about this (and about the American people) is that this blatant conflict of interest is hardly a pubic hair on a can of Coke. I can't imagine how Democrats will get the average citizen to follow the bouncing ball here. Even if you boil it down to a sentence - like "Roberts supported the administration in a filthy case he presided over, and in return, the administration supported his dirty bid to serve on the court," most will say "who is Roberts?" Or, but he's a nice guy, or quid pro quo. Brilliant. Good show.
Roberts is a hack. And because he's already in the pocket, and because justice is supposed to be blind and neutral and disinterested and everything. Love of justice, love of jurisprudence, and love of democracy and fairness and all that hooey should compel us to encourage your President to select someone else. But not Edith.
The dread pirate Roberts is filthy, and if I were the American people, I wouldn't touch him. All we need is another Justice hunting with litigants and thumbing his nose about it.
Vote "yes" to a clean Court, vote "no" to dirty Roberts.

Missouri season ends with 81-71 loss to Auburn
Jordan Geist had a game-high 25 points in his final game for Missouri.
Mar. 14, 2019
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Missouri went down, but Jordan Geist wouldn't let them go quietly.
The senior poured in a game-high 25 points in his final college game, but it wasn't enough for Missouri (15-17, 5-13), whose season ended with a 81-71 loss to No. 5 seed Auburn (23-9, 11-7) in the second round of the SEC Tournament on Thursday.
"He did a great job leading us," freshman guard Torrence Watson said. "He did his best to lead us to the win. Unfortunately we came up short, but we definitely saw he fought as hard as he could."
Missouri was outplayed by Auburn in nearly every facet of the game, but 3-point shooting was MU's saving grace.
Auburn was able to move the ball around and generate open looks, but the SEC leaders in 3-pointers made only 3-of-17 from deep in the first half while Missouri's 8-of-16 performance from 3 kept the No. 12 seed Tigers within striking distance, down 32-30 at the half.
A Xavier Pinson triple gave Missouri a 33-32 lead with 18:25 left, but then the point guard picked up three fouls in 25 seconds and went to the bench while Auburn surged ahead with an 8-2 run.
Sophomore center Jeremiah Tilmon had a rough first three halves in Nashville – he shot 1-of-7 from the field last night and had zero points in the first half today – but he was a different player out of the locker room and finished with 8 points, five rebounds and two steals to give Missouri an inside presence in the second half.
A rejuvenated Tilmon brought Missouri within 3 with 16:21 to go. Then a trio of triples from Auburn guard Bryce Brown quieted the Missouri comeback and MU's season looked to be left for dead, down 10 with 14:44 left.
Geist and Missouri continued to take Auburn's runs and fight back, however, and Geist led Missouri on a 12-2 run. He hit a triple and then got a steal in the Auburn backcourt before hitting another 3 and pulling Missouri within two with 13:13 left.
Geist then found Watson for a triple to tie the game at 52 with 11:22 to go.
"Every time we get punched, we have to punch back," Geist said. "That's what we've been growing toward this whole year."
Brown and Auburn were again ready for Missouri's counterpunch, and went on a quick 9-0 run, with another Brown triple being the final dagger. It put Auburn up 61-52 with 8:16 to go.
Watson, who had a bounce-back game with 20 points after only 4 against Georgia, was able to hit timely triples and keep Missouri around. However, coach Cuonzo Martin's Tigers stayed just outside striking distance before Jared Harper iced the game with free throws for Auburn.
Watson has come out of his shell the last couple months, scoring in double figures in five of his last six games
"Torrence on the surface was talented enough to be here," Martin said. "Torrence has the will to be a great basketball player, to be the best shooting guard in the conference."
The game was much different than the 92-58 drubbing Auburn handed Missouri earlier this season and Watson, who went 3-for-12 from the field in the regular season matchup, was a big reason why. He's just one of several young players who have shown flashes in the second-half of conference play.
The season for Missouri looks to be over, with Martin saying Missouri will not accept a CBI invite. Missouri's chances at the NIT or NCAA Tournament are virtually zero with a sub-.500 record.
Missouri now looks to next season where it returns Watson, Tilmon and Pinson as well as a healthy Mark Smith and a healthy Javon Pickett, who Martin said has been dealing with a back injury for the last month. Martin's team also adds transfer guard Dru Smith for a season that should be promising.
"I think if we're healthy, with what we have returning, guys you are bringing into your program, we've got a chance to be as good as anybody," Martin said.

Thinking about ditching your office and hitting the open road?
This digital nomad lifestyle guide has everything you need to now to build a location independent lifestyle.
I've been traveling full time for more than two years now, and I've learned so much along the way. From packing tips to budgeting Q's to accommodation advice and everything in between, my digital nomad lifestyle guide answers 10 commonly asked questions you need to know before you go.
1. How long do digital nomads stay in each city?
After a lot of trial and error, I've found what I think is the best length of time. Unless a place is truly amazing I like to spend five weeks in each city. So, what that looks like is:
Weekend one: Arrive on a Saturday night or Sunday
Weekend two, three, four, and five: four full weekends to explore the area
Weekend six: Travel to a new city
We tried traveling on weekdays but with work it was just too annoying. Either trying to get stuff done on buses or flights, having to get work done ahead of time to make up for a lost day, or telling clients we'd be unavailable, it just wasn't worth the hassle.
Surprisingly, traveling on weekends hasn't been any more expensive than on weekdays, and it's so much more fun to arrive in a new city and hit the bars or have a day to explore instead of being stuck inside with work.
We stayed six months in Medellin and that was way too long. Then we spent two months in Cusco, and finally started just doing five-week stays.
With four full weekends, you can see the two or three most touristy things in an area, but still have time to get off the beaten path as well.
2. How do digital nomads find short-term/furnished accommodation?
Good question! I 100% recommend Airbnb, and it's all that I use.
It's great because if you stay for a month or more hosts usually always offer a discount – sometimes up to 50% off. We rented outside of it once in a foreign country and it ended in disaster.
If you're dead-set on staying off Airbnb (admittedly the prices are usually higher, but it's a worthwhile trade for security) then check out local Facebook groups to find a place to rent. Just search the city + expats or rentals and there are usually plenty of groups.

3. How do taxes work as a digital nomad?
I'm definitely not qualified to help anyone with their taxes, so the only thing I'll do is explain my own.
When Daniel and I taught in the UAE, we didn't have to pay taxes in the United States because we were out of the country for long enough each year (I think it's like 330 days?) and because we did not make enough to be "double taxed" (the income amount is something like 90k).
Once we started freelancing, things changed. We filed as an LLC in the state of Ohio and all of our money from work went through one specific bank account that we then paid ourselves out of. Because we were an LLC we had to pay "estimated taxes" four times a year instead of just once.
I'm still freelancing and using this method of tax payment.
No matter where I live in the world, I pay taxes to the US just like I'm living there. Daniel has a full-time job now and pays taxes in the US like normal too (despite spending most of the year abroad).
Basically, if you are a freelancer, you will probably have to pay taxes in the US even if you never step foot inside it. If you have a full-time job abroad, you probably will only pay taxes to the country you're in, unless you still spend a lot of time in the US or are making mad money.
But like I said, absolutely every situation is different and definitely look into your own job and finances. DO NOT take my word for it and definitely do your own research!
Pin me!
4. What's the best health insurance for the digital nomad lifestyle?
Ugh, health insurance.
It's different for every country, so this info is going to be targeted at Americans. When we first started traveling full time, I was on my parent's health insurance still and didn't need to do anything else because it covered me abroad.
Daniel was over age 26, so he purchased travel insurance. This covered him in every country except the United States.
The cost was around $250 for six months. This plan was great because we spent no time in the US in 2017 until November. (Be careful though, because some travel insurance carriers require you to also be covered with a US health insurance plan… make sure yours isn't like this.)
When we returned to the US, neither of us were covered by a job because we were both freelancing, so I bought health insurance through Healthcare.gov. It was a crap plan for about $50 each per month and didn't cover us while traveling.
Soon, Daniel got a full-time job and with that came a healthcare plan in the US. We still have to buy travel insurance on top of it to be covered outside of the country though.
Basically, your options are to get a US health insurance plan and double up with the travel insurance, or, if you'll be abroad all year, find a travel insurance plan that does not require a US health insurance plan as well.
If you're planning to be in the US at all, it's probably easiest to just pay for a cheap plan year round and get it off your plate.
Just like taxes, this is only based on my own experience and should not be taken as fact – you should research everything before you choose the correct plan for yourself.
5. What do I need to pack for long term travel?
The first time I left the US on a digital nomad, I packed wayyyyy too much. Keep it light, and you'll be so much happier when you're moving every month.
Now, absolutely everything I own fits in my carry-on sized Osprey backpack. Check out my detailed packing list for long term travel to see exactly what I have in the bag, what resources I use, what subscriptions I pay for, and much more!
6. What are the best countries for the digital nomad lifestyle?
The awesome thing about the digital nomad lifestyle is that pretty much nowhere is off limits. These are the steps I usually take when deciding which countries to visit, and some things you definitely need to keep in mind.
First, look at flights.
Cheap flights are usually my deciding factor. I always compare prices on flights with Skyscanner, and search from the major airports around me to "everywhere."
I live in Ohio, so I always check flights from Cincinnati, Chicago, and Detroit to find the best deals. If you live near major hubs sometimes its worth using them to save money, especially if you're traveling for a long period of time.
Next, explore accommodation options
After you've narrowed down the countries that are affordable to get to, it's time to check on the accommodations. Like stated above, I always use Airbnb. So, search the cities you'll be staying in for the dates you'll be there. Are there a lot of options that look nice and affordable? If there's only one or two listed in the area, that will be a risk.
Third, check out the average cost of living
The next step is to check the cost of living in the options you're looking at. Just because Norway is $100 cheaper to get to than Romania, it doesn't mean it makes financial sense to choose it.
You should also make sure it's a good city to live in. Google things to do there, restaurants, nightlife, and day trips to make sure there's plenty to fill your time.
If flights, cost of living, and accommodation all check out, you need to make sure internet speeds in the city are good before you move there.
Finally, double check your visa status
Double and triple check the visa situation to ensure you can stay long term, and don't need to take any extra steps to be approved to visit.
Once this is all finished I book the flight and accommodation, usually a couple of months ahead of time. Everything else like local transport and planning what to do waits until we arrive.
7. What are the best location independent jobs for digital nomads?
There are plenty of ways to make money while you travel.
If you want to work abroad you can teach in Dubai with very little qualifications, get a job working on a yacht, or become a flight attendant or an au pair.
If you don't want to be tied to a location, no matter how exotic it may be, you can become a freelance writer or digital marketer, or teach ESL classes online. Visit the Working Abroad page for step-by-step guides to all of these jobs and more.
Pin me!
8. Can digital nomads live in any timezone?
Timezones are the lamest.
For the first 14 months that we had our location independent jobs, we stayed in timezones close to the US in Colombia, Peru, and Mexico.
Now, we're in Eastern Europe, which puts us six hours ahead of the US.
Daniel has a full-time job and is tied to the American nine to five… kind of. He has only one meeting every day and they do it at 10 am so he can take it at 4 pm. Besides that, sometimes he needs to answer an email or message later in the night but surprisingly it's been very easy to still work normal hours even in a different timezone.
However, six hours really isn't too much of a difference and I think Australia or Asia would be more difficult.
As a freelance digital marketer and writer, I have had clients in England, Singapore, the Philippines, and Australia. Working around their timezones hasn't been too hard, it just slows down communication a bit.
If you really have your heart set on traveling Asia, your best bet is to teach ESL classes online because you will be working within Chinese timezones.
9. What's the best phone plan for the digital nomad lifestyle?
I used to use the Sprint Open World plan but unfortunately, they discontinued it.
Now, Daniel and I use Google Fi and it's awesome. Read my full write-up on the plan to see how much it costs, what you get, and why I think it's the best international phone plan on the market today.
10. Much much does the digital nomad lifestyle cost?!
This is one of the most common questions I get, and the answer is simple: The digital nomad lifestyle can cost as much or as little as you want.
It really depends on the cities and countries that you choose. One month in London is going to cost a lot more than one month in La Paz.
However, for a better idea of what the budget of a digital nomad looks like, check out my breakdowns for six months in Colombia, two months in Cusco, one month in Mexico, and one month in Romania. You'll notice that it creeps up as the years pass and our income increases as well.
If you're trying to keep the budget down, it's important to find the line between a country with a low cost of living that's also safe and has fast, or at least usable, internet.
Bonus: 5 Pieces of Travel Gear Every Digital Nomad Needs
Before you hit the road, do it in style with my top five pieces of travel gear that I truly can't live without after 2.5 years on the road!
1. Osprey Backpack
This bad boy is the BEST. It's pricey for sure, but definitely worth the investment. The Osprey Farpoint 55 is all I use.
Some reasons why it's amazing are first, it's carry on sized for most major airlines (not budget ones though) so we can save money on checked bags. Also, it has a second small backpack that you can zip to it!
I use the large bag to store all my stuff when moving from one place to the other and for long camping and hiking trips, but I still have the small bag for day to day use.
Did I mention that the entire front opens like a suitcase, so you don't have to go digging into it every time you need something like a traditional backpack?
And finally, Osprey products have a life time warranty, so you can always get it replaced if something goes wrong. If you want to become a digital nomad a rolling suitcase just isn't gonna cut it. This Osprey bag has everything you need for long term travel.
2. Vibrant All in One Travel Bottle
I got this for Christmas and am so obsessed.
I love the sleek look and functionally it's even better. The Vibrant bottle keeps hot water hot for SO LONG, and cold stuff cold for ages. It also has a strainer at the top to make fruit infused water (my new obsession) or steep tea.
For a day to day water bottle, I couldn't ask for more.
3. Timberland Boots
The first time I bought hiking boots I was in the UAE.
We went from mall, to mall, to mall because all the stores had the tiniest female selections and sold boots almost only for men! So sexist.
I finally found this pair of Timberland boots. They were a bit expensive and I was on the fence, but I pretty much had no other choice but to buy them.
That was three years ago in Spring 2015 and they're still going strong. The boots are cute, comfy, and seriously hold up on even the toughest hikes.
I wore them on a seven-day trek through the Himalayas in Nepal, on the Santa Cruz and Salkantay four and five day treks through the mountains of Peru, scaled a 19,000 f.t volcano in them, and walked through the streets of Europe for miles at a time. They still feel like new even after all that. It's love.
4. UE Boom Speaker
Daniel introduced me to the world of quality sound and speakers, and I can't go back now. We often stay in Airbnb's with crappy TVs or even no TV, and watch shows on our laptops. Even just for music day to day, this speaker is amazing.
The UE Boom bluetooth speaker is easy to use and carry around with us, it's water proof, and the sound quality is amazing. Even after getting chucked in our bags and dragged from country to country over the last year, it still works perfectly.
5. Vypr VPN
Simply put VPN's can route your internet browsing through different countries so you can access websites with geographical restrictions. Before I started traveling, I thought every website was available to everyone in the world, but I was so wrong.
I use Vypr VPN to continue browsing the net just like I was in the US. It's great because one membership allows you to install the VPN on three different devices and I've had no issues with my service so far.

EDIT: I'm updating this to add that I also really love my Panda Planner to keep me organized and my new compression packing cubes that let me fit more in my bag!

Top 15 Most Anticipated Games of 2018
A big year ahead.
Home » Galleries » Features » Top 15 Most Anticipated Games of 2018
Far Cry 5 – The next instalment in the Far Cry series may be leaving the exotic paradise settings behind and moving closer to home but that doesn't mean the insane action and charismatic characters are too. This time, you'll be involved in the story of a radical cult in Montana who seem to invoke violence wherever they go. Of course, you'll have a hand in that violence as you blow things up and fire guns till your heart's content. 2018
Monster Hunter World – Monster Hunter: World is the first instalment of the popular action series to come to Western current-gen consoles. While the huge creatures are of course the focus, World puts a huge emphasis on the beautiful open-world and integrated online play. If you're not sure about it, you'll be able to take part in beta testing before its release in January 2018.
Anthem – After the underwhelming reaction to Mass Effect: Andromeda, Bioware are turning their attention to something more ambitious. Following in the footsteps of Destiny and its sequel, Anthem will have an online focus and a huge world. We haven't seen much from it other than some Iron Man like characters, and delay to 2019 wouldn't be a surprise, but it is exciting nonetheless.
Red Dead Redemption 2 – Rockstar's long awaited Red Dead Redemption sequel was originally scheduled for a release in 2017 but has been pushed back to early 2018. We haven't seen much from the game but if anyone can be trusted to make a quality open-world game, it is Rockstar. The question that remains, however, is how they plan to transfer the success of GTA Online to their next game.
Sea of Thieves – One of the main threats to pirates is other pirates and, in Sea of Thieves, another player controller pirate could be around any corner or over any wave. Whether you and your crew plan to plunder unexplored islands or fight for loot on the high seas, other players will be an obstacle in the game's shared world. Created by Rare, Sea of Thieves is beautiful and could be one of Xbox's best console exclusives.
Days Gone – Sony Bend hasn't released a game since Uncharted: Golden Abyss on PlayStation Vita but they are finally returning with Days Gone, an open world survival game. The trailers have shown protagonist Deacon St. John taking on impressively huge hoards of zombies. Hopefully it'll stand out in the mass of PlayStation 4 exclusive open-world games, especially considering the obvious similarities to The Last of Us Part II.
Spider-Man – The idea of a high quality open-world Spider-Man game has always been an exciting one. The movement and combat style that embody the iconic character will undoubtedly be a joy to interact with. The PlayStation 2 games were fun but, due to the complicated rights issues, we've had nothing to shout about since. Considering Insomniac's pedigree, Spider-Man PS4 should be a huge swing forward.
State of Decay 2 – Another game that was delayed to 2018 is State of Decay 2. As was the case with the first game, the aim is to do what you can to survive in a world overrun by zombies alongside some companions. It has been promised that the sequel will be bigger, deeper, and more beautiful than the original.
God of War – God of War has always been an action packed series starring a generally unlikable protagonist. With 2018's reboot, the developers have taken on board what gamers disliked and are producing a far more thoughtful title. Kratos cares for his son and attempts to teach his in a scaled back, yet far more detailed, world, all with significantly less shouting. It is due for release in the first half of 2018.
A Way Out – The next game in the EA Originals program, A Way Out, has a novel concept. It is an action-adventure game with a detailed story but it is entirely designed to be played co-operatively. With you and a friend each taking control of one of the protagonists, you work your way through the entire game, helping each other along the way. The best part is that only one player has to own the game if you want to play online. It will release on March 23, 2018.
Detroit: Become Human – David Cage and Quantic Dream are known for their complex, narrative driven experiences and Detroit seems to be no different. Playing as a selection of characters over the course of the game, you're plunged into tricky situations, each with a variety of choices and consequences. Every moment is intense, the world is interesting, and it looks beautiful. It should release in the first half of 2018.
Kingdom Hearts 3 – Kingdom Hearts 3 is one of the most anticipated games of 2018, but it is also the one we've been waiting the longest for. Exploring the worlds of Disney classics, including Toy Story, Kingdom Hearts 3 will undoubtedly fill players with a sense of child-like wonder. The famous settings, paired with the Final Fantasy gameplay with surely make for a wonderful adventure. Let's just hope that it does actually release in 2018.
Dragon Ball FighterZ = Highly anticipated by both fighting game fans and Dragon Ball Z fans, Dragon Ball FighterZ looks to be one of the most lovingly crafted games in the series. Revealed at E3 earlier this year, it will follow a new story and the visuals are stunning. It will undoubtedly be huge when it released on Jan. 26.
Crackdown 3 – Crackdown 3 has been delayed many times and it was due to be a launch title for the Xbox One X in November of this year before another delay. As a super-powered agent, you can wreak havoc in the game's destructible sandbox world. The art-style is unique and the multiplayer options are intriguing. Hopefully we'll be able to cause some mayhem on later in 2018.
Ni No Kuni 2 – It may have recently been delayed till March. 23 but Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is still hotly anticipated. It promises to offer even more than the lovable original, featuring the interesting cast, beautiful world and engaging combat system that made it so great.

GDPR has been built on a series of false assumptions which means we will fail, regardless of the amount of time or resources we deploy thanks to these false assumptions, delegates at IP Expo were told by Stewart Room, global head of cyber security and data protection legal services at PWC.
Since 1968 data when protection principles began, our data protection laws have not made their way into the operational actions of entities, but law makers have assumed we would be on top of this based on the existence of earlier legislation. Lawmakers overestimated the level of maturity in the market and so they assumed it would be a two to four year journey to achieve GDPR compliance, but its substantially greater Room told delegates. Entities are performing markedly worse than worse than the expectations of lawmakers who assumed it [compliance] would be achievable, but the evidence is the opposite.
So while laws should not be passed that cascade us into illegality, the evidence gathered by PWC on actual performance provides a consistent view that maturity levels are such that meeting GDPR requirements are an impossibility for most organisations.
As a result, Room told his audience, "All of us will carry a quantum of illegality into May 2018 and beyond, so the issue is, are we leaving gaps in the areas that matter the most?"
Room went on to point out that GDPR not just the legislative text – its lots more, most of which is secret and not known. While there is the publically available law, regulation, and enforcement cases that are made public, there is also the majority of cases dealt with on day to day basis, from which law makers form views, but which is secret and part of GDPR, yet we need to weigh it into our assessment and find ways to work through it.
In addition, Room asked, how was it that some of biggest spenders with the biggest teams are getting it wrong.? The reason given is that they are doing the wrong stuff. "The activity they are doing is not addressing the thing of importance - Risk. You can only understand risk if you understand the wider context in which GDPR operates," says room, continuing, "If you are not addressing risk, it is purposeless activity. "
The biggest risk if starting a GDPR programme now, according to Room, is that if you require the services of third parties – all the good ones are now gone, thus there is a delivery risk to the programme. Plus, legislative compliance risk is wholly different from regulator risk, which is part of your spectrum of risk (ie the decisions of regulators, not the regulations themselves). Posture is also component of risk mitigation and there is the risk of operational failure.
Finally, organisations need to understand the wider context – legal, regulatory, and false assumptions. This will enable them to make purposeful choices and properly define their risks using root cause analysis..
One of the PWC mechanisms to recognise risk, described by Room, is the adverse scrutiny test. This means identifying a range of stakeholders internal and external who will challenge your framework. Understand who they are, then comes visibility test. Those who challenge will challenge the things they see. So identify those people and the things they will see whether they be whistleblower , hacker, partner , regulator, press, disgruntled employee, B2B contacting partner. Each will tackle the thing they see. Understand these scenarios of risk and adjust your programme to hit the things that matter.
Data protection law exists due to fear of tech and threat to people and their interests. If you do not focus on these areas, then you will suffer.

Dryer drying equipment can not do without heat sources, heat sources are also divided into several, but in general, there are only two common coal and natural gas, because heat sources are very important, we will face the problem of choosing a heat source, which one to choose? You can not follow others to choose the same heat sources, you can not choose hearsay.
It is a kind of coal, it is more widely used, has an important role in the dryer, another is a kind of natural gas, and natural gas high temperature, stable advantage, will not produce smoke pollution, but many provinces and cities have rich natural gas, then two heat sources do better, let us know more:
Coal is one of the earliest minerals discovered by human beings, and it is also a widely used heat source material at present. Standard coal requires 7000 calories per kilogram. Now the price of ordinary coal is about 1200 yuan, and the price of a kilogram of coal is about 1.2 yuan.
Natural gas is a multi-component gaseous mixture of fossil fuels, mainly composed of alkanes and a small amount of ethane, propane and butane, of which methane accounts for the majority. At present, the price of natural gas varies from region to region, but it still remains at 2.5 yuan/cubic meter and the calorific value of natural gas is 8000 kcal/cubic meter.
根据以上数据,我们可以做一个比较。一吨标准煤售价1200元,可生产7000×1000 = 700万卡路里。同样,1200元天然气可以得到1200÷2.5=480立方米天然气。更多480立方米的天然气可以产生480×8000= 3840,000,即384万卡路里。相比之下,煤以同样的价格产生更多的热量,所以用它作为热源更便宜。然而,煤在燃烧过程中会产生煤烟,这是受环保程序控制的,而天然气燃烧后不会产生废渣或废水,与煤、石油等能源相比,具有使用安全、热值高、清洁度高等优点。
Based on the above data, we can make a comparison. The price of a ton of standard coal is 1200 yuan, and it can produce 7000 x 1000 = 7 million calories. Similarly, 1 200_2.5 = 480 cubic meters of natural gas can be obtained from 1 200 yuan of natural gas. More 480 cubic meters of natural gas can produce 480 x 8000 = 3840,000, or 384,000 calories. In contrast, coal produces more heat at the same price, so it is cheaper to use it as a source of heat. However, coal smoke is produced in the process of combustion, which is controlled by environmental protection program, while natural gas combustion will not produce waste residue or waste water. Compared with coal, oil and other energy sources, it has the advantages of safe use, high calorific value and high cleanliness.
Therefore, the use of coal or natural gas is not a single issue. The selected heat source should also be suitable for local conditions, taking into account the cost and convenience of various heat sources. Safety and reliability.
