Pics or it didn't happen
I just noticed something regarding club reputations.
If I create a club on ODB that has max reputation and put it in the EPL and fill it with brilliant players with an unbelievable striker with insane attributes, including intrisic values of 125 for finishing and movement, and use Iodine, that striker will reguarly score 10 goals a game against other EPL clubs.
However, if I create exact same team with exact same players with same tactic, and put the club into Division 2 and decrease the clubs reputation, then the same player only seems to score 6 goals a game, even though opposition is much weaker. Usually he'd score 6 goals in first half and then do nothing in second half.
It's almost like the game is hard coded to stop him from scoring more because he's playing in a lesser team (reputation wise), which might explain why even when you're using Iodine it's difficult to beat teams by much bigger scorelines in Conference than in Premier League. I've often noticed in the past in Leagues such as Wales and Belgium that my team would race to a 4-0 lead after 20 minutes only to end up winning 4-0.
I always knew the game was hard coded to stop any given team racking up huge scores, but it seems that club reputation has a large influence on what the scoreline needs to be before your players suddenly turn to utter rubbish!
Pics or it didn't happen
But it's pretty easy for anyone to do. Just play around with the team reputation, either with pregame editor or the GK editor, and you'll notice that the amount of goals you can score won't be capped as harshly if club reputation is increased.
More specifically I've noticed that it works with lower league teams that use a super tactic but can only win by a capped amount - people who use super tactics in lower leagues would know what I'm talking about, you race to a 4-0 lead after 20 minutes or a 6-0 lead at halftime, then all of a sudden nothing happens, and the game just ticks over to the 90th minute, even if you have world class players playing a team full of greyed out players. By increasing the club reputation the 'cap' is lifted. There will still be a limit but it will be a higher limit.
Higher reputation clubs have more demanding fans (except Arsenal of course), more support home and away, as well as a lot more media pressure to excel.
It's not unrealistic that this has been "coded" into the game, if it's true it was actually quite smart from the original programmers.
Does a club's reputation go up according to its league position?
I am now coaching Blackburn Rovers and gained promotion and they ended 13th in the Premier League in year two.
Does that mean the club's reputation has gone up a bit (in the save file)?
Pure guess but would rep not be a longer term and more complicated thing? I imagine the last 5 years league/cup finishes, perhaps amount of awards for player of month/season, amount of international players in the squad, could be loads of factors..
What did the guys put Leicester's rep as in the latest db?
(please also reference this for me as I have never looked at these attributes )
Leicester City's rep is 15.
Bit of a minefield is Club Reputation but this is essentially it:
Club reputation reflects the clubs ability to attract players
It has zero to do with historical performance or the likes i.e. Nottingham Forest winning 2 European Cups in the 80's.
There are some slight nuances though as 2 clubs with the same rep may attract a different calibre (current reputation) based on finances e.g. 2 rep 14 clubs with -500k and £25m in respective bank accounts. In general though a club with rep 14 can attract players with current rep ~140 and below (this is where finances comes into play i.e. buying players with higher CR than 140).
Club rep increases are determined based on a competitions rep. Winning has massively higher reward than 2nd (cups and leagues). Maintaining and slightly improving has marginal increases.
Signing big name players can increase club reputation. When I first started managing the San Marino club team in Italy, I built a shortlist and not one of them was interested in joining. But we still managed to sign Hakan Suker on minimum wage and in the news feed it said something about the jubilant fans gathering outside the training ground to greet him. Then I went back to my shortlist and there were a heap of players interested in joining us
You sure you hadn't made a big sale beforehand? Finances are usually the big reason you can nab a big name player ahead of other supposed bigger clubs
No we didn't have anyone to sell. Well apart from Moroni but there was no way I was selling him! Nobody else was trying to get Sukur which is why we got him. I didn't look in any editors but I'm convinced our club reputation went up. Players all of a sudden wanted to join us despite our wage ceiling not moving.
Maybe you won a trophy?
Nope, it was before the first season even started when Hakan Sukur is a free agent. San Marino are a tiny club at the beginning so I don't think it should be that bigger surprise that their reputation would increase on the back of signing a superstar like that
Nice to know that
I i win a cup with 20 rep, how much my clubs rep increased ?
Depends on the rep of the Competition and the Nations Rep
It seems. In my save, AS Roma won european cham. Cup and their reputation increased from 9742 to 9841. Not so much.
There's probably some coding to weight the increases towards the higher end e.g. so if a team from Greece with rep 11 (5500) won the CL they wouldn't jump to 10000 straight away.
Is the reputation fade away ? I saw after the season update, roma's rep goes down a bit.
Anyway, if wining dozens of CL can a small clubs rep reach 10000 ?
"my team would race to a 4-0 lead after 20 minutes only to end up winning 4-0"
In subjective opinion based on playing experience, the game has a hard coded 6:0 max per game. Usually you go past 6:0 because red cards happen or some random tragedy strikes the opposition keeper. Without cheated tactics, after 6:0 the game blocks your strikers, they can score more, but usualy not without changes to tactics, conceding a goal might give some room to score more.
It's not a hard block, just an increase of goal scoring difficulty, that's why a lot of the time you can go 5:0 to half time 6:0 overall, but past that without cheated tactics it becomes tricky for strikers to score more. Idk maybe the increase in scoring difficulty starts even earlier and reaches it's peak around 6.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Tuesday offered some advice that could be soothing for investors after the stock market sold off on doubts that the U.S. and China would soon land a trade agreement.
"If the trade war were really all-important, the averages would never have been able to surge to record levels over and over and over again," the "Mad Money" host said. "As tense as the negotiations may be, China's simply a much smaller issue than most people seem to realize."
Earlier in the day President Donald Trump said he was willing to postpone signing a trade deal with Beijing until after the 2020 election. The major averages all tanked more than 1.4% to their session lows before recovering some of those losses. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished the trading day at 27,502.81, down about 280.23 points, while the S&P 500 traded 0.66% lower and the Nasdaq Composite settled 0.55% under.
"The market is slow to figure out the positives, very fast to identify any negatives from the trade war, which is why we have days like today," Cramer said. "Unfortunately, I think we could have a lot more faux … trade-related pain before we're ready for some gain."
Investors must remember that "not everything hinges on trade," Cramer said. He laid out the following reasons he thinks some bright spots remain in the market:
- The U.S. economy is largely service-oriented and is "pretty darned close to full employment."
- The trade dispute does not affect the "powerful secular trends" of digitization and medical innovation.
- Tariffs cause bond prices to go up and yields to go down, which translates into more investments into high-dividend stocks.
- Retailers that have scale, such as those in Cramer's WATCH group, can push suppliers to keep prices down.
- The indexes are less reliant on industrial stocks, which means "tariffs can't hurt us as badly as you might think."
Cramer suggested that investors take a wait-and-see approach to the market as technology companies such as Apple are still leveraged to China's economy. Eventually, the stocks that are detached from China will rebound, he said.
"Nevertheless, much of tech keeps getting slammed, and that's the real issue we face right now," Cramer said. "While I think that will eventually create fabulous discounts, we're not totally there yet."

Diabetes mellitus is a complex syndrome that manifests through different symptoms and affects different parts of the body. A significant disturbing prognosis of diabetes mellitus is nerve damage and dysfunction which may be painful.
Diabetic neuropathy is a form of nerve damage attributed to diabetes and can occur in several ways with the baseline being high blood sugar level.
Lifestyle diseases are on the rise causing myriad morbidity and mortality due to the sedentary life we live. Acquainting yourself with knowledge about diabetic neuropathy is essential in prevention as well as proper management since treatment largely depends on coordination between the patient and the doctor.
Causes of diabetic neuropathy
Uncontrolled high blood sugar levels have been reported to damage nerves and disrupt signaling functions. Besides, persistent hyperglycemia also weakens walls of blood vessels supplying nerves halting delivery of oxygen and nutrients.
Any diabetes patient can develop neuropathy in their life; some risk factors escalate the likelihood of developing diabetic neuropathy and these include; obesity (BMI of greater than 24), kidney diseases, cigarette smoking, and most importantly poor control of blood sugar.
Symptom monitoring and when to see a physician
Every diabetic patient should be able to understand critical symptoms and especially underscore the alarming symptoms that will require hospitalization since diabetes as a chronic condition significantly involve self-care.
Symptoms of diabetes can range from slight pain and numbness in the legs and feet to GIT disturbances, urinary tract, blood vessels, and heart. Manifestation and clinical presentation will depend on the specific type of diabetic neuropathy as there exist four classical types; peripheral neuropathy, anatomic neuropathy, radiculoplexus neuropathy, and mononeuropathy.
Red flag symptoms that should prompt contact with a physician include; tingling or burning pain around the feet, dizziness, changes in digestion or sexual functions, and urge as well as when a diabetic patient gets a deep cut that is likely to take time to heal.
Treatment options
Early diagnosis and initiation of therapy provide the best chance of survival in any health condition.
A diabetic patient who is diagnosed early and taught on self-management is likely to avoid diabetic neuropathy by controlling sugar levels.
Here's a short video about how professionals cure Diabetes Neuropathy:
Different treatment options are available ranging from medications, surgeries to physical therapy. Supplements are getting a pivotal role in the management of diabetic neuropathy and Nerve Pain Remedies posted about supplements for nerve health are now being incorporated into conventional care and have shown excellent efficacy.
Complications associated with Diabetic neuropathy
Untreated diabetic neuropathy or poor management of the condition will lead to fatal consequences. Some of the difficulties associated with diabetic neuropathy include amputation of extremities, joint damage, sexual dysfunctions, hypoglycemia unawareness, urinary incontinence, and many more.
These complications are life-impairing, and preventive measures are advocated. Meticulous monitoring and control of blood sugar and maintaining the hygiene of the feet are the practical, simple preventive techniques.

I posted as note yesterday about the potential schism between hospital physicians and executives with the former more focused on the quality of patient care and the latter more on the financial side of the equation (see: Physicians Cautioned about Divided Loyalty between Patients and Hospitals). Pathologist John Spinosa responded to my note that was copied to Facebook by suggesting that the consideration of agency theory might be useful in this discussion. Here's a brief definition of this term from the Wikipedia:
In political science and economics, the principal–agent problem or agency dilemma concerns the difficulties in motivating one party (the "agent"), to act on behalf of another (the "principal")....For [an] example, consider a dental patient (the principal) wondering whether his dentist (the agent) is recommending expensive treatment because it is truly necessary for the patient's dental health, or because it will generate income for the dentist.
I searched the web and came up with an a scholarly article that was directly on point in terms of this discussion of the relationship between medical staff and hospital executives including consideration of agency theory (see: The ties that bind: an integrative framework of physician-hospital alignment). Below is an excerpt from it:
The relationship between the hospital and its medical staff is an important area of academic research and a main concern of hospital executives, given the impact on quality of provided care, hospitals' financial success and cost-effective healthcare delivery. Internationally, hospitals have evolved from a physician workshop to accountable organizations, charged with the development of internal organizations where quality and cost effectiveness go hand in hand. Consequently, cooperation and alignment between hospitals and their physicians has become paramount to enhance hospital performance. However, conflicting incentives between physicians and hospitals are often cited as a major obstacle to effective collaboration and threatens the long-standing assumption that physicians and hospitals share common interests....Three approaches can be identified. The first approach is rooted in the economic literature, building on the model of the homo economicus, in which alignment is realized by 'hard' financial means (economic integration). The second represents a more 'soft' sociological perspective, emphasizing the cooperative nature of their relationship (noneconomic integration). The third focuses on the clinical dimension of their relation, the coordination of patient care (clinical integration).
I found this paragraph insightful. Hospital executives bear the burden of ensuring that a hospital is economically viable (first approach). Physicians and other healthcare professionals such as nurses are responsible for the direct delivery of care, described in this excerpt as cooperative or non-economic integration of the relationship between physicians and executives (second approach). Finally, their interests should completely align in terms of the coordination of care, alternatively described as clinical integration (third approach) (see: Multidisciplinary Diagnostic Teams and Integrated Diagnostic Centers). One of the most effective ways to achieve coordination of clinical care is through the use of multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) that are commonly deployed in cancer centers and increasingly in other clinical settings. The analogue of such teams on the diagnostic side is multidisciplinary diagnostic teams.
Why do the interests of hospital physicians (primarily quality of care delivery) and executives (primarily economic) completely align in the area of clinical integration? It's because through the use of multidisciplinary teams and effective treatment algorithms that waste can be eliminated from care delivery, decreasing the cost of care while simultaneously increasing the quality (see: The Transition to "Big Med": Need for Emphasis on Standardization and Cost). In other words, physicians and executives will usually be on the same page when the reduction of unnecessary services increases the quality of care. Physicians and nurses best understand how such standardization can be accomplished.

Article provided by: Paramount Stone Co.
Are you planning an outdoor project that involves the use of pavers or another type of surface? If your project is still in its planning phase or you're in the process of looking around for the right materials, we invite you to take a closer look at new Techo-Bloc pavers. Our experts from Paramount Stone believe Techo Bloc pavers just might be the perfect landscaping stone for your upcoming project. Here's why:
Superior Engineering
Most landscaping pavers and surfaces are simply not designed or engineered to handle the freeze/thaw cycle that takes place in areas where the climate changes from season to season. The most significant advantage of using Techo Bloc pavers is that they are made to remain stable and adaptable for many years. The unique joints between the pavers eliminate cracking, yet allows for subtle movement from repeated freezing and thawing.
Exceptional Durability
Techo Bloc pavers are estimated to be 3 times stronger than poured concrete. In fact, only the highest grade of materials are used throughout every Techo Bloc stone, resulting in a finished product that has a higher density than traditional pavers, a lower absorption ratio, and structural integrity designed to last a lifetime.
Ideal for Multiple Applications
The unique design of Techo Bloc pavers makes them the perfect product for pool decks, driveways, patio flooring, and all other outdoor surfaces. Don't just take our word for it- feel free to visit the Techo Bloc FAQ page to learn more about our pavers and slabs for your construction needs. One of the greatest advantages from using Techo Bloc materials is that they can be moved and even replaces if necessary in the future, unlike a concrete slap that will not allow for the installation of additional ground features.
Why Techo Bloc Pavers?
At Paramount Stone, we take a great deal of pride in our products, and we only offer our customers the absolute best building materials available on the market. We have chosen Techo Bloc as one of our products for the simple reason that they are one of the top pavers being manufactured today. We feel strongly that Techo bloc pavers will be beneficial to your project in terms of providing overall value.
Resurfacing Old Surfaces
If your existing concrete patio, walkway, step landings, or other surface is in good structural condition, Techo Bloc pavers can be installed right over the top of the surface. Feel free to ask one of our Paramount Stone experts about Techo Bloc slab products designed for this specific purpose. For areas that are not in good condition, our pavers can still be used over the top; however there are many factors to consider before making the decision to pave over existing surfaces. Our specialists can provide professional advice regarding our products.
See our complete product inventory on the Paramount Stone website or call a pro from our company with any questions you have. We'll be happy to discuss your project with you and offer our best recommendation.

07 Nov The week ahead: November 6th through November 12th:
We're going into the last 2 weeks of Scorpio season, so I wanted to focus on what Scorpio's statement is so we can get a better handle on what may have come up for us at the full moon on Fri/Sat. Every sign has it's statement: Aries comes confidently through with "I am", where the softer Cancer says, "I feel." Taurus unrelentingly says, "I have," while in their own code Aquarius says, "I know." For Scorpio it's, "I desire" and this past full moon may have highlighted just that for you. Did you notice anything come up around desires that you have, especially if they've been something you kept on the DL or secret? Maybe it was something you just discovered about yourself and your needs that you didn't even realize was there to begin with. I want to invite you this week to allow yourself time to face your desires and work towards coming to terms with it. Scorpio season is not an easy one, in that it brings to light our biggest fears and ask that we face them with no hesitation. For some us, we've been taught to hesitate, to not share, or allow whatever we want to go by the wayside. We may have even been told what we want is evil, wrong, or gross. I'm here to remind you this week that your desires are not wrong, evil, unimportant, or gross (unless your desires abuse or harm another, then we're speaking about something else). Your desires are what makes you, YOU. Your desires also tap into something inside of you calling to be expressed; and if you don't want those desires to turn into unhealthy obsessions, or warp into something bad because you cannot or will not express them, then you MUST allow them to be in the light and accept them, because they are your own. Because Scorpio rules the genitals, I want to say that your revelation may have had something to do with sex or safety and security issues in some capacity, which will always be the ultimate in taboo (and taboo is Scorpio's fav category, especially if it's taboo sex). Don't let this hinder you from dealing with it though and embracing who you are–that's the whole point of this season, as well as giving yourself the room you need for your healing and rebirth.
So how can we use the energy of this week to help us? My advice is this: Where are you hiding from your deepest desires and how can you get in touch with this part of yourself in a way that allows you to feel safe? What have you learned about yourself in relation to what you will and won't accept in your life, and how can you reinforce your boundaries so there's no questions about where you stand going forward? After the full moon, light was also shed on the important things you own and have, and what practical, grounded, logical steps are you taking towards keeping these things in good working order? A big taboo subject in the mediumship world is the debate on whether there are earth bound spirits. When it comes up around any new mediums I meet, things get tense, and people tell their opinions and experiences. I've learned with time to wait to hear everyone else's opinions before I blurt out my own, because it's guaranteed that I will go against the grain. I would say a majority of mediums out there don't believe that a Spirit can be earth bound or don't believe in ghosts at all. I respect this opinion of others because it's their opinion and maybe they haven't encountered it in their life. For me, and from an early age, I came into contact with all forms of Spirit. Not all was human, and not all was nice. It's been my experience that there's a spectrum out there, just like we have here in the physical plane. At the full moon, I came to the realization that I want to spend more time working with the darker aspect of my mediumship and that I've always been drawn to it. I've ALWAYS felt shame about this and there was always this feeling that there must be something wrong with me because I want to understand what's going on when these darker things occur. Why wouldn't I only just want to work with the light–right? And don't get me wrong, I do! I love working with Spirit in the light, but there's also a call for me to work with those stuck here as well, and if I can bring any Spirit that may be trapped, light (if needed) and help them (if needed) then I feel it's my duty to be there–why else would I be given this ability and why else would I be encountering them? I think a huge thing for me this weekend was just accepting myself and this part of me that wants to do this work and understand this other world. I'm tired of feeling shame about something that's been happening to me my whole life and that I can't help (and I swear to jebus if I hear one more person say to just focus on the light and that's all you'll see, I'll scream. It's not true, it's spiritual bypassing, and I'm OVER IT), and I'd rather take a hold of this and find power within it than be scared of it for the rest of my life. I'm also no dummy to what will be expected of me here and to what I might encounter, but I also remember that I wouldn't be given these psychic abilities if I also wasn't given the ability to protect myself as needed. This week, face your desires, and know that the only thing to be ashamed of, is not answering your call <3
Go ahead and pick a card from above (pick one, two, or all three cards–pick what you're drawn to). The stone you see int he picture above is Aegirine. Aegirine is a good crystal for overcoming self-consciousness and unnecessary shame over appearance, and is an excellent companion for those with disfigurement or body image problems. A very female-friendly crystal, Aegirine assists women in overcoming hidden prejudice in the workplace, and lends emotional support when returning from maternity leave. It is an excellent crystal for doctors, nurses or others who are continually exposed to the toxic energies of traditional hospital environments, and shields those in home office and workplace settings when constantly exposed to the electromagnetic fields of computers and electronics. Aegirine expands the power of other stones in all healing situations by boosting the body's own ability to self-heal. Aegirine is a powerful protector of those suffering jealousy, malice, mental influence or psychic attack from others. Use once a week as a wand in the hand you write with to thrust energies away from you in all directions as you state your intent of protection. Carrying or wearing Aegirine helps force the release of negative attachments that may have taken root in the aura's protective field weakened by abuse of alcohol or drugs, or by smoking cigarettes (though the effect is more gradual). Working with Aegirine in body layouts or in conjunction with other subtle body healing can, in time, regenerate the damaged auric shield. Take Aegirine on journeys of self-discovery, whether spiritual or traveling to new destinations. It is a good talisman for backpackers for protection against negative energies and inhospitable places and people. If you'd like to learn more about this stone, please go here.
If you chose card #1: Your message this week is about the Two of Wands. Your card goes on to say that this is a great time of clarity and success as you direct your focus into achieving your goals. You have acknowledged your options and can now look ahead with purpose and determination. This is also a card of power and choice. It may be that you will need to decide how you are dividing your own energy between certain projects, relationships, or opportunities. You have the power to take an initiative or risk without worrying about potential outcomes. You are following your own path, which leads to the acknowledgment of your inner truths and true creativity. Additional Meanings: Personal power • Inventive • Facing your fears • Seeking wisdom • Individuality • Choice • Options • Partnerships.

A Sudden Glory by Sharon Jaynes is an inspirational new book written for women who are seeking to start or strengthen their relationship with God. This book is for any reader who wants more out of life. While this book does not address the needs of those readers experiencing a major crisis, grief or extreme hardship, this book, nevertheless will inspire those readers who simply want more out of their ordinary, mundane comfortable lives. This book urges women to "cease striving" based on Psalm 46:10. In otherwords, the author tells the reader to focus less on doing more and accomplishments and to spend more time focusing on prayer and a relationship with God. Contrary to the demands of fast paced modern society, the author tells the reader it is okay to slow down and relax and that this may be required in order to strengthen one's own spirituality. At times this may be self serving for those readers already inclined towards a passive attitude and sloth. But that is not the author's purpose. This advise is directed toward the overworked, overly tired woman who neglects her spiritual life and relationship with God.
The author, Sharon Jaynes explains that it is common and natural to feel a void in one's life. It may feel like something is missing yet it is not obvious as to what may be lacking. While our most obvious and basic needs- and then some- are met, we still feel a vacuum. Jaynes calls this a "glory ache" in which we long for something greater; something spiritual- as in a greater purpose determined and directed by God. She explains this is a God planted ache for a greater purpose or glory. The author uses personal anecdotes from her own life. She compares her lack of direction and spiritual dryness to the wandering in the wilderness in the book of Exodus. While personal anecdotes gives a touch of authenticity and a personal connection, for those readers whose lives and circumstances vastly differ and are less than ideal- the personal stories might serve to alienate. Using personal anecdotes involves a trade off- in some cases it fosters a closer bond with the reader while in other- a rift is created.
The author uses plenty of bible scripture which is good as it increases the reliability factor of this work. There are two pages of lined journal space near the end of the book- a nice touch, but not enough to be actually useful. Perhaps it is there to serve as a suggestion or hint for the reader to keep her own- separate- journal. The beautiful butterfly clip art accents make the text more inviting. Also included is a helpful thorough study guide that readers can use to get the most out of the material presented. It is perfect for serious readers who actually want to follow through with their spiritual growth. This is a good book for anyone who wished to live a more purposeful life in the spirit. As a blogger I received this book published by Water Brook Multnomah publishers for the purpose of writing this review.

No Nets player played more 27 minutes last night, so hopefully they'll be relatively fresh and ready to play tonight, in an arena that's been a house of horrors for them in recent years. In fact, the last time the Nets won a game at the Pepsi Center in Denver was back in January of 2007, when Jason Kidd was still suiting up at point guard.
However, Brooklyn might be catching Denver at the right time, as the Nuggets have lost eight of their last nine games, and have already ruled out a bunch of players due to injury. Nate Robinson, JaVale McGee, Danilo Gallinari, Darrell Arthur, and Wilson Chandler are all out for the Nuggets tonight, and Ty Lawson is listed as doubtful.
This would seem to be a winnable game for Brooklyn, even if they have struggled on the road, and in the second game of back-to-backs, for the most part this season.
That said, winning tonight would buck a frustrating trend for the Nets, who are 8-32 all-time at Denver, and they haven't beaten the Nuggets in any arena in over a full year.
The Nuggets beat the Nets in Brooklyn back in December, though Deron Williams, Paul Pierce, and Andrei Kirilenko were all sidelined due to injuries in that game.
Even after getting crushed last night, with Denver's roster so injury depleted, it might be the perfect time for the Nets to snap their six-game Pepsi Center losing streak.
Key Matchup: Kenneth Faried might be the biggest healthy threat in Denver's lineup, and the 6'8 power forward can be a menace on the glass at 11.5 rebounds per 36 minutes in his career. What he lacks in height he makes up for in physicality. The Nets might use guys Kevin Garnett and Andrei Kirilenko on the guy they call "Manimal."
The 6'7 Paul Pierce usually plays the nominal power forward position in the Nets' small lineup, but I'm not sure he'll guard Faried much defensively. However the Nets try to match up with Faried, keeping him off the boards may be crucial tonight.
Player to Watch: Kirilenko has been a major X-factor at times for this Nets squad. Brooklyn is 16-4 in the games in which Kirilenko plays at least 14 minutes, and while he rarely fills up the stat sheet, he's one of the Nets' most important glue guys.

Chambon, Philip and Sorrentino, Bruno (2002) Secrets of the Saudi state. (television soundtrack). Hardcash Productions. DVD.
This score, for cello and electroacoustic recorded material, is one of several collaborations between me and the director of Channel 4's Dispatches documentary series. The programme focuses on contemporary Saudi Arabian society and, a year on from the 9/11 attacks, asks the question: 'Is Saudi Arabia a friend or enemy of the West?' For the 'temp' track the director had chosen very slow-moving, languid 'Middle Eastern' music and some late 19th century Romantic orchestral music. Channel 4, though, specifically asked me to avoid these exotic and classical musical clichés as they wanted a harder-hitting contemporary feel for the programme. The research issue was therefore how to marry the director's musical taste and wishes with Channel 4's request while at the same time supporting and complementing the visual aesthetic and narrative of the programme. I decided to utilize pop sampling and sequencing techniques to create a fragmentary cinematic score, weaving together the cello, Arab pop beats, sampled orchestral strings and elements of sound design and musique concrète.

In order to see closer view, click on images.
Couple of weekends in a row, I was invited to paint with one local art organization in Walnut Creek, California.
I had a lovely opportunity to paint nude model in watercolor for the first time in my life.
The first painting (above) was painted in impressionistic fast brush stroke manner on student grade Strathmore 140lb watercolor paper.
The next one, I tried in realistic style on professional watercolor Artches 100% Cotton 140lb cold pressed. The difference in texture is obvious:

And as a warm up before each painting session, there were a few gestures that the model did for 2 or 5 minutes.
I am sharing here the most successful ones: spontaneous, fast, fresh
In Every Piece Of My Art There Is A Piece Of My Heart And A Sparkle Of My Soul

Miley Cyrus' highly sexual music video for her latest single, 'We Can't Stop', has been at the top of the YouTube charts the last couple weeks. Naturally, everyone else on the site wants to bite off a piece of that Miley magic. There have been many, many parodies of the video released in the past few days, but arguably the best one yet comes from Stage Five TV. The geeky entertainment channel has released 'Comic-Con Cosplay Party', which combines Cyrus' racy attitude with the fanciful costumes that will be present at the upcoming Comic-Con convention.
The video stars Michelle Glavan as Cyrus, and the YouTuber does a pretty solid impersonation of the pop singer's blatant 'look at me now, I'm all grown!' act. The only difference is that everyone around her is dressed like a character from their favorite nerdy franchise (I spy a Slave Leia, a Ghostbuster, a Chun Li, and many more) and that Glavan is the only one who wants the party to devolve into an orgy. Judging from context clues, everyone in the background is content to stand around and discuss the Red Wedding.
The video is another solid effort from Stage Five, which previous caught our eye with its brilliantly-constructed Game of Thrones rap battle. Each of its videos tend to have a high-quality sheen that is beginning to turn nerdy heads heads on YouTube, at Comic-Con, and beyond.

The Aspire To More team met for the first time at West Offices to launch our new raising aspirations project. The project is designed to give young people the opportunity to meet successful care leavers who have overcome adversity to build positive and inspiring lives.
After checking in and exploring the project aims the team got to work on exploring local and national role models from care backgrounds. They used the internet to find out about Paolo Hewitt and Jenny Molloy, both successful writers from care backgrounds. The team decided what the key messages would be for their campaign. The themes were really strong and revolved around positive outcomes for care leavers.
Next the team discussed what they could learn from our role models and what questions they would like to ask. The group devised interesting and thought provoking questions which will be used in real life interviews they will compose with role models later in the project.Ellie is hard at work shaping questions for our role models.-What was it like first going into care?
-What would you say to children in care?
-Do you think y our foster carers helped you?
-Did you ever feel alone?
-Do you think your past has helped you to achieve the things you have achieved?-What has driven you?
-What keeps you going?
-Have you ever felt like giving up?Lauren's key messages artistically decorated with blackcurrant juice… The group made an energetic and committed start to the process bringing lots of ideas to the table. It is an exciting start and the group is looking forward to the next stage of the project. Follow the blog to see the project unfold #AspireToMore

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Coaching?
"Put simply, coaching is a process that aims to improve performance and focuses on the 'here and now' rather than on the distant past or future. While there are many different models of coaching, here we are not considering the 'coach as expert' but, instead, the coach as a facilitator of learning."
Source: www.skillsyouneed.com
A coach will work with you in a confidential, one-to-one basis to help you identify next steps that helps you build a better life. A coach can also help you identify priorities, values and even behaviours you might consider adapting to get a better result.
Is Coaching the Same as Therapy?
"Good question" as Donald Trump would say to the journalist who asks a question he can answer (so…not too often).
While coaching and therapy share some things in common, e.g. they are both confidential, based on providing a supportive service, they are different in many significant ways. One simple way of describing the difference is:
"Therapy is looking at the past to see what went wrong, and coaching is looking to the future to see what can go right".
This above description might sound a little dismissive of therapy, however it is not intended to be. Therapy can help folk a great deal, including those who have sadly experienced a trauma, lost a loved one, or who have identified mental health issues.
Coaching can, however, help clients who are participating in therapy, or who have mental health issues. In the interest of the best possible outcome for the client, however, it is important to clearly state the difference between therapy and coaching, as coaches are not necessarily equipped with the type of counselling or therapeutic skills that are needed to help someone deal with, e.g. grief, or trauma.

Discovering The Truth About Tips
Top Tips for Burning Fat
Many women say that in six months, they gained back whatever weight they've managed to shed. Others say they have dieted so many times they couldn't even remember anymore.
Well, it's time to stop the yo-yoing and get more information. Just check out this article to understand how science has at last developed simple, inventive solutions for long-lasting weight loss like the following:
Good Fat against Bad Fat
Fats are not all the same. White fat is the bad fat you should zap. Brown fat – the good fat – actually burns calories. This good fat is powerful as it's full of mitochondria, the parts of cells that produce heat. With exercise, up to 20 percent of your calorie intake can be neutralized by as little as two ounces of brown fat. Yes, you can definitely learn about it here even more.
Vitamin D Supplementation
A study at the University of Minnesota demonstrated that people who followed a weight-loss program while having higher levels of D in their diet lost more poundage than those who were getting less of the nutrient. Other studies indicate that vitamin D seems to increase the effectiveness of leptin, the satiety hormone. Experts now recommend supplementation of vitamin D at 1,000 international units everyday.
Back to Nature
In a study conducted in North, it was discovered that counties having more natural amenities, like mountains and lakes, had less cases of obesity. It was noticed, for instance, that walking outdoors made people stride faster, feel less tired and happier overall as compared to walking on a treadmill.
Cellular Pudge-Proofing
Sitting around gives you flabs. Hardly surprising, but the culprit is not just a sedentary lifestyle. The very act of sitting or lying down applies pressure on our cells to the effect that they stretch out and eventually build flab. You should take action. Even small bursts of exercise – for example, 5-minute walks every hour – can help a lot in preventing the formation of flab. Of course, more flabs means it will take more time before you can notice significant improvements, but definitely, it will come provided you are consistent. Good thing you decided to visit this page so you can learn more about losing fat.
The Power of Green Tea
Check out this info – green tea works like a diet drug, except there are no significant negative side effects. Weight loss from green tea is the result of EGCG, a compound that is known to minimize fat absorption. Besides that, green tea also actually raises the amount of fat that your body gets rid of.
Beating Your "Weight"
About three-quarters of Americans have a so-called "fat gene" that is believed to bring a 20 to 30 percent higher risk for obesity. However, that doesn't mean you're fated to be heavy. According to more recent studies, exercise can beat your genetics. That means you can always control your weight, unless you have an underlying condition that makes it unusually difficult for you to do. Aim for five hours weekly as recommended by experts and you'll fast-track your weight-loss even more.

Mitochondrial redox signaling by p66Shc is involved in regulating androgenic growth stimulation of human prostate cancer cells.
Document Type
Journal Title
Publication Date
p66Shc is shown to negatively regulate the life span in mice through reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Recent reports, however, revealed that p66Shc protein level is significantly elevated in several human cancer tissues and growth-stimulated carcinoma cells, suggesting a mitogenic and carcinogenic role for p66Shc. In this communication, we demonstrate for the first time that p66Shc mediates androgenic growth signals in androgen-sensitive human prostate cancer cells through mitochondrial ROS production. Growth stimulation of prostate cancer cells with 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is accompanied by increased p66Shc level and ROS production, which is abolished by antioxidant treatments. However, antioxidant treatments do not affect the transcriptional activity of androgen receptor (AR) as observed by its inability to block DHT-induced prostate-specific antigen expression, an AR-dependent correlate of prostate cancer progression. Elevated expression of p66Shc by cDNA transfection increases the basal cell proliferation and, thus, reduces additional DHT-induced cell proliferation. Furthermore, DHT increases the translocation of p66Shc into mitochondria and its interaction with cytochrome c. Conversely, both redox-negative p66Shc mutant (W134F), which is deficient in cytochrome c interaction, and p66Shc small interfering RNA decrease DHT-induced cell proliferation. These results collectively reveal a novel role for p66Shc-ROS pathway in androgen-induced prostate cancer cell proliferation and, thus, may play a role in early prostate carcinogenesis.

Usually when I go to rent movies I always check out the used videos for sale bin. Occasionally, I find some good stuff for cheap prices.
Recently, I bought Godzilla vs Gigan
This is one of the cheesier movies in the series. Godzilla actually talks (although I've seen worse). Basically, giant cockroaches are trying to take over the earth because their planet is too polluted. Their plan involves a monster related theme park (with a near life size statue of Godzilla), Gigan and Ghidra. They are opposed by an artist (created the homework monster for the theme park), a girl who's brother worked for the theme park (as a scientist) and is now missing, her hippy friend (yeah, I know, but I actually liked this character) and of course Godzilla and Angilas (who was, to say the least, quite useless).
It's actually quite watchable! Of course, I've never met a Godzilla movie I didn't like.

You haven't started A/B testing yet
I can support you with the following:
Already started A/B testing
I can support you with the following:
Analytics Plans review & creation
For you if
You have implemented or are thinking of implementing advanced web analytics tools like Mixpanel, Kissmetrics, Heap Analytics, Intercom, etc… These tools are event-based web analytics tools (by opposition to pageview-based tools like Google Analytics) and provide you with a much better understanding of what your visitors and users are doing with your product.
The challenges of events-based tracking
These tools enable you to track anything and everything, but many users are actually not tracking the metrics that will be useful for them to analyze in the future or are tracking the wrong events. It's important to implement tracking correctly as early as possible in your implementation because:
- most tools bill by events tracked: try to track everything you can think of, and not only will you have a dataset that is difficult to analyze and exploit but you will also be paying much more than you should.
- you can't track retroactively: that seems obvious, but I can't tell you how many companies set up basic tracking, then when they need to do a serious analysis, they discover they weren't actually tracking the metrics they need to decide on key business issues.
- you need to set up tracking before you actually need to do the analysis: when you reach a point where you have to decide on key business issues, you need to get the analysis done right now. For that, you need to be confident your tracking plan is actually accumulating good data, from the start.
How I support you
If you already have an implementation in place, I review what you are currently tracking to make sure that:
- the implementation is technically correct
- all events that you'll need to optimize your product and conversion rate(s) are tracked
- no unnecessary event is being added to the mix, both increasing your costs and complexifying your data set
- your tools themselves are optimally configured: funnels are well defined, etc.
If you are working on an implementation, I follow the following steps:
- discuss with you your long-term business strategy and roadmap
- analyze your website and product user flows
- propose and validate with you all critical events and actions you should be tracking
- send you a detailed tracking plan with all the events you should track, all the properties you need to push to these events, and I configure your tools for you
In both cases, I bring you value not only because I enrich and validate the analytics you will get, but I also save you precious developer time because my tracking plan details exactly what item to track and how to track it.
Testing benefit assessment
For you if
You are considering starting to A/B test some pages or elements of your website.
Why is this critical?
A/B testing is all the rage these days, and the mantra "Always be testing!" is everywhere. The leading testing platforms like Optimizely, Visual Website Optimizer or Convert Experiments all make it easy to start A/B testing with cheap plans starting at $19/month for 2,000 tested visitors per month.
Well, according to Optimizely's own sample size calculator, if you can only test 2,000 visitors a month, and assuming your conversion rate is 5% (a very generous assumption), then you would need to design a variation which achieves a conversion rate of at least 7.5% (a +50% performance) to even see some statistically valid results.
If you don't think you can design a variation that will get you this performance right from the first try, then you need to test more visitors, and you need to have the traffic to support more testing.
How I support you
It's actually pretty easy to see if you have the adequate amount of traffic to support a testing program that even makes sense for you business-wise. First, use my A/B Testing strategy planning calculator for free. This will let you know how many days you'll have to wait to get statistically valid A/B testing results, depending on your traffic and your current conversion rate, but also the revenue impact at different levels of performance from your A/B tests.
If you cannot get valid testing results in under 2-3 weeks, or if the revenue boost you'll realistically get from testing is negligible for you, then you should focus on growth and come back to testing later. You'll get a much better ROI by focusing on growth than you'll get from A/B testing. Of course, there are exceptions, and testing with low traffic can be justified, but it's rare.
What's enough traffic? It depends of your traffic numbers, your current conversion, and the predicted performance of your variations against your current design. My calculators should allow you to determine the business value of A/B testing in most cases. But for more complex cases, or if you'd like to benefit from an expert assessment, just contact me. I will:
- review all your web analytics data
- prepare for your a testing prioritization plan that lets you know exactly which pages or elements you should test first, and how that will impact your revenue numbers.
Testing Consulting & Review
For you if
You're currently A/B testing some of your pages or some elements of your website, but feel that you're not getting the full value from your testing efforts. This is the point where the majority of my clients are when I start working with them. Good A/B testing is quite hard to achieve, and most clients, from SAAS start-ups all the way to e-commerce retailers with revenue above $400m are typically not running optimally their testing program.
Until companies will invest in a full-time role or team solely focused on A/B testing, this will likely be the case, since there are so many pitfalls to negotiate. Even as an expert consultant, I learn every week of ways to improve and streamline the testing program I run for my clients. It's usually impossible to get this level of expertise in-house without focusing full-time on A/B testing.
The challenges of A/B testing
Listing all the pitfalls here would result in 50+ points at least. Most issues we see fall into these categories:
- what page / element to test: the pages or elements tested are the best ones to minimize testing delays and maximize revenue impact.
- how to conduct testing: the tests are set up in a way that will result in biased results; useless to take decisions.
- how to run tests for: be very, very careful with the duration of your tests. I see many tests that show statistical significance, yet are statistically invalid and results are just random.
- how to plan your tests so you optimize their combined impact: traffic is your scarcest resource for A/B testing, so you should conduct multiple tests simultaneously, provided you do it right.
Validating your testing practice and methodology is critical, because incorrect testing results are much worse than the lack of testing, from a business perspective: you'll make decisions based on what you think is sound data, and you'll spend a lot of time understanding what went wrong on the future.
How I support you
I offer 3 different levels of service here, depending on the depth you want me to go to, and the tools you have in place already. In general, I:
- review all your analytics data
- review your complete testing technical implementation
- review your past test results and implementation
- review your current tests, and your future test plans
- establish a testing prioritization plan for your specific context
- suggest additional analytics tools if justified
I provide a thorough review of your testing program, but you can validate most test results yourself using my free A/B testing results validation calculator. This will let you enter your raw testing data that you can get from your testing tool or from your agency, and will give you an overview of what it means and if it's statistically valid. And yes, many tests run by agencies or CRO consultants do not mean anything, because they are not achieving correct statistical significance, despite what your agency says.
Variation Ideas to test
For you if
You're confidently running a good Testing Program but are starting to see decreasing returns from it. You feel that another set of eyes to evaluate the variations you are testing or create new ones would provide you with a useful external opinion.
How I support you
Without delving into the technicalities of your testing program, you just show me what page or element you're looking to test, and I provide you with specific feedback or suggestions on how to create or improve on your variations.
2 pricing options available
I offer 2 different options regarding my fees for this service:
- time-based: I charge you based on the time spent evaluating your variations, researching alternatives, doing the wireframes, etc. My hourly fees are far from cheap, but you get charged for a fixed amount of hours.
- performance-based: I do all the work at no cost, and my fees are based on pre-agreed performance targets. We both know what my fees are depending each target reached, and if my variations do not increase your conversion rate, then you're not charged any fees.
I strongly prefer to charge based on performance, but some of my clients prefer time-based for various different reasons.
Fully managed Testing Program
For you if
You have already implemented an A/B testing tool on your website or application, but feel like you don't have the internal resources to adequately run it. Then I can manage it for you, based on 2 very different levels of service:
- simple outsourcing: you tell me what you want to test, I create the tests, run them for you, and analyze the results. Charged based on time spent.
- fully managed testing program: you task me with running all aspects of your testing program, from strategy to implementation. Charged based on performance, no fixed or upfront costs.
Simple outsourcing
This option lets you concentrate your team's time on your core expertise, and delegates to me the task of running your tests to an expert. Your team sets the strategy, the tests you want to run, but I do the implementation. This saves you time and is often cheaper for you because I am usually much more experienced at setting up tests than your team is. It also gives you peace of mind that all results will be valid pieces of data you can act upon. I charge based on time.
Fully managed testing program
With this option, I basically becomes an extension of your team and run all aspects of your testing program. Not only do I implement everything, I also define the strategy, the variations to test, etc. You and your team validates everything of course, but you don't have to spend time besides punctual validations. This lets you run a good testing program with no additional internal resources tied up by it.
The key to establishing a mutually benefiting alignment is to set our objectives to be the same. This is why I only charge fees based on the actual results you are getting from the test I run for you. There are no upfront or fixed fees. Only pre-agreed fees based on the performance targets I reach. This way, I am incentivized to get you the maximum performance as quickly as possible.
And because a good testing program takes time to do, I am also incentivized to keep you as a client, so I won't take shortcuts to boost short-term results at the detriment of your long-term business objectives.

Inland Empire duo Audio Push took some time off from preparing their upcoming album to bless the tribe with a brand new track. Coming off last week's drop of the Lil Dicky assisted "Mixture," Audio Push lyrically flexes over a bouncy, summertime beat. Both Oktane and Price spit aqueous flows, passing the mic with finesse and further proving their chemistry.
It's clear the group is having fun with it, and their enjoyment definitely translates into a dope song. If this is essentially a bonus cut, the album is most definitely going to be flames.
Quotable Lyrics
The gang signs ain't foolin' us,
Don't clutch that unless you gon' bust
Learned that from the big homie, I ain't have no big brother
But I been on since du-rags with the split colors

Today's card is the Seven of Bows and its keyword is "Clearance". There are a few things that I could do with clearing out today, bad and ill feelings amongst them. This isn't just about gardening chores, it's all about life decisions and getting rid of the bad baggage we all have. I saw a great tweet yesterday that went along the lines of: feeling bogged down? Sit and listen to yourself. Hear those negative thoughts? Do something about them.
OK, so that wasn't exactly the tweet, I can't find it now, but the idea is to clear down and get rid of bad emotions, thoughts and anything else holding you back. How might you do this? Well, try writing it down, leaving lots of room so you can tear it up into strips. Take a candle and light it. White is the best for this. Pick up your first negative that's for the burning. Re-read the negative thought. Slowly start to burn the negative notion and as you do, say aloud (so you can hear yourself say it): I send this negative thought of XX away, never to return. I now have room for bright good feelings to come to me. Now, if you're a few to do, that's fine. But somewhere inside you and I, there is a lot of good stuff waiting to come out, but it's being hidden and strangled by the negative weeds that grow.
I hope you can get rid of these negative thoughts. I hope I can get rid of mine too… It'll take time, but this is a good start, no?

Windows 8.1 is a bunch of small changes that make for a big improvement over Windows 8. You can read our full review here, but Windows 8.1 doesn't really hit home until you use it, or at least see it in action.
We did a quick little run-through of our favorite changes for your edification while you wait for that update to download. Or, you know, while you snicker from behind your Ubuntu machine.
