New from Heron Instruments is the dipper-See Examiner. The company is taking pre-orders for its vertical down-hole inspection camera.
The dipper-See Examiner is designed for viewing wells, drains, vertical shafts, open bodies of water, boreholes and narrow tubes up to 150 metres (500 feet) deep, Heron Instruments said in a press release. The seven-inch display screen allows operators to watch in real time what the one-inch marine-grade stainless steel camera probe is viewing.
Need footage for future reference? The inspection camera comes with digital video recorder (DVR) capabilities, allowing users to record both video and audio and play back in 720 pixels HD.

A lost heiress has been found, but the past brings a danger that will threaten all she holds dear.
With a mysterious past, Brooke Eden recruits her closest friend, Justin Wildon, to find who her true family is. She has been raised in Monaco by the Grimaldi family, but she knows that they are not her true family. She is shocked to discover that she is a long lost daughter of The Earl of Whitby and even more surprised that her father receives her with open arms. Although, the rest of the family takes a little more convincing. Horrors of her mother's death haunt Brook and there are many secrets that have to be uncovered. When greed and lust for wealth and power threaten Brook's life, her faith keeps her strong. Will the secrets of the past be revealed? And will Brook return home after being lost for a second time?
"But God does not just instruct us to forgive - He instructs us to trust. To trust that, even though life hurts us, He will take care of us."
inventions around every corner, it was wonderful to see it through Brook Eden's eyes. I admire her courage and strength throughout this story. She is someone that I would love to know and to follow on one of her harebrained ideas. She can be rash and impulsive, but her faith is evident. We could all benefit by following her example of putting our trust in the Lord, even when the world seems to be crumbling down around us. If you are a fan of Downton Abbey and love a little mystery with your historical fiction, you will quickly loose yourself between the pages of this book.
I received a free digital copy of The Lost Heiress from Bethany House Publishers through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.


"When I covered Ronald Reagan for NBC in the 80's, you know, some days you do a good piece, a positive piece, some days you do a tough piece. And you come in the next day and they always treated you professionally and I think it came from the top down, from the Old Man, Reagan who felt 'You know, I'm going to get a good review today and a bad review tomorrow and it's nothing personal.' These guys, everything is personal – I got to tell you, everything. They are the biggest bunch of crybabies I have dealt with in my thirty years in Washington. They constantly are on the phone or emailing me complaining, 'Well you had this guest,' or 'You did this thing.'" – Chris Wallace, discussing the Obama White House during an interview with Bill O'Reilly, 19 September 2009.
Fox News reporter Chris Wallace recently spent several minutes on the "O'Reilly Factor" complaining that the White House snubbed the Fair and Balanced network. During a weekend media blitz on health care, the President gave interviews to CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, and Univision – but not Fox. Mr. Wallace went so far as calling Mr. Obama's staff a "bunch of crybabies". Sounds like Mr. Wallace is a crybaby.
Nevertheless, in the course of his whining, he revealed something far more sinister than being overlooked for an interview. It seems the White House routinely calls journalists to rebuke them about their reporting.
The government of the United States wields enormous power over individuals - and the companies that employ them. It can tax them, buy from them, regulate them, subsidize them, and investigate them – and do the same to their competitors. Any complaint from officials who wield that kind of power must therefore be taken extremely seriously because it carries the threat the power might be used.
If we take Mr. Jefferson's warning seriously, then we must be concerned when high-ranking officials tell reporters what to broadcast. Journalists that don't want to enlist in the Administration's standing army of news writers should shed as much light as possible on this toxic practice – before they find themselves drafted.


It isn't uncommon during the winter for me to go to bed in the early hours before the sun comes up and wake up after the sun has gone down. Sometimes I wake up just in time to see the sun set, and today was such a day. There was such a beautiful glow across the valley from my loft bedroom that I decided to go straight out and take some pictures. I went to the top of the hill behind my house, but I couldn't really get far enough up before the sun set for any paroramic shots. So instead I took shots of the sun through the trees.

AreWeThereYet2K15
It seemed like a good idea…
Am I a Republican Now?
One thousand, nine hundred and thirty-four miles after he picked up our rental car in Seattle, Harry returned it when he flew back from Los Angeles to Cape Cod on Sunday. As he was heading for the airport, Sarah, Jeffrey, Mariah and I headed to Dodger Stadium to watch the LA Dodgers play the Anaheim Angels in a "freeway series." It's just like a Gotham City "subway series" but without the pinstripes.
The fans were spirited, heavy drinking, and "Bar-Scene-in-a-Star-Wars-Movie" diverse. It was a good game, well-played in 90-degree heat by athletes about whom I knew nothing whatsoever. Fortunately, we had procured infield loge box seats months ago just under the cover of a deck in the shade on the first base line.
The fans at this stadium do not sing Sweet Caroline at the seventh inning stretch. The entire stadium sang a very animated version of Take Me Out to the Ballgame instead and the Dodgers won at home which is apparently not a common occurrence. It may sound a bit nostalgic for halcyon days of yore, but it was profoundly reassuring to be among a sea of happy, peacefully co-existing strangers, joined by their traditions, a sense of community, a shared victory and an awful lot of beer.
On Monday, Mariah and I visited the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley. It is the most old-fashioned and traditional of the presidential libraries we have visited, and the staff seemed to be still inhabiting the Reagan era in both appearance and demeanor. We spent the better part of five hours learning about Reagan's childhood, Hollywood career, and political rise. We read many of his original letters and speeches, viewed archival television footage and listened to his radio addresses. Mariah also may have taken a brief horseback ride with the Gipper.
Unlike the Clinton Library which incorporated elements of controversy and difficulty in their exhibit, such as a significant display on Monica Lewinsky, Reagan's Libary focused exclusively on the positive. There was no discernible mention of his personal life (including his first wife and two children) before he married Nancy. His domestic and foreign policies and diplomatic efforts were presented as having been prescient and flawlessly executed. His international diplomatic accomplishments received particular recognition. To see the actual document with his handwritten notes that he read at the Brandenburg Gate was remarkable. And then, for extra measure, the library invited visitors to tour his actual Air Force One aircraft furnished complete with jars of jelly beans as it had been during his presidency.
A deeply moving room was devoted to his attempted assassination. The filmed footage of the moments when the gunman shot him was horrifying. However, the depiction of his survival and recovery with his signature wit and charm intact engendered great relief and affection. As a result of our time at the Reagan Presidential Library, I found myself somewhat seduced by the entire narrative of the great communicator's presidency. The poster that follows is from his actual campaign. I left wishing we had someone with his skills and values leading the country and delivering this particular message now.
Continuing to hit our west coast bucket list with wild abandon, on Wednesday Mariah and I spent the day and night aboard the Queen Mary. She is permanently docked in Long Beach, California. We learned all about the ship's past, including her groundbreaking construction, her duty as a troopship during WWII and of course, her glory days as the world's most luxurious and technologically advanced ocean liner.
My father had returned to the United States after his service in WWII on a troop ship crammed with servicemen on deck. His small black and white photos of the conditions they endured aboard ship during their crossing made an indelible impression on me as a young child. For this reason, I was fascinated by the Queen Mary's pivotal role in guiding the Allied Forces to victory. Nicknamed the "Grey Ghost" after receiving a hauntingly stark paint job, the ship's impressive speed and size made it an ideal troop hauler often carrying as many as 16,683 men in a single voyage.
While aboard we toured several exhibits including an enormous ship model gallery, the engine room, and the communication room. Inevitably, we became lost and confused quite a few times while navigating between the ship's many decks. The highlight of our stay, however, was an obscenely decadent dinner at their upscale restaurant, Sir Winston's, followed by splurge accommodations in the Eisenhower Suite. The Eisenhower is one of the most spacious and luxurious suites on the ship complete with a separate living room suitable for entertaining, a spacious private bedroom, two bathrooms and a smaller bedroom for one's butler or nanny. The Queen Mary has seen much better days, and the deferred maintenance and allover wear and tear caused by their heavy conference, event and tourist traffic was evident even in our oh-so-regal suite. It was nonetheless a wonderful treat to spend a day and night aboard.
Our only regret was that our favorite crewmember was unable to take shore leave with us. Thankfully, we will always have this photo to remember him.

Q: Is the Amputator taunt useful? I recently crafted the Amputator, mainly for the set bonus.  I've tested the taunt and it certainly seems to heal people, but is it really useful when you have unlimited healing with the medi-gun?

A: The Amputator's taunt allows you to heal multiple people at once. Of course, the drawback is that you're standing still and open to attack when you do it.
The Amputator works well on cp_degrootkeep (Medieval Mode), where you're not allowed to use your medi-guns, and the small size of the map means players are bunched closer together.

A: Yes, the Amputator taunt is useful. You can use the Medi Gun to heal people individually and get your ÜberCharge up, but you can save a lot of people's lives with the Amputator taunt.
For example, if a Pyro charges at a group that you are healing one-by-one and burns a lot of them, you might not be able to extinguish everyone before they die. The Amputator taunt will help in this scenario by quickly extinguishing all your teammates at once leaving no one behind.
I personally love the Amputator because it helps a lot of people especially when there are a lot of needy people who want you all to themselves. Using the Amputator taunt you can share the love.
You can read more about the taunt here.
Here's a quick comparison of healing methods:

This is based on Custom REST service in Xpages using a service bean by Stephan Wissel. But it doesn't show actually getting prints from the method sent. My work partner Brian Hester and I both tried at the same time and ended up getting it at the same time – we actually started IM-ing each other that we had it. And this is the day before Bernd Hort posted his presentation.
Once you get the method, you can have the bean do whatever you would like. It's nice to have it all in one place.

The Keynesian Approach?
September 17, 2019 by jackrasmus
One of the astute readers of this blog, Benl8, recently commented on my latest post of my recent radio show commentary on 'Central Banks, Negative Interest Rates,and Helicopter Money'. Ben originally commented what is Keynesian economics to the UK Marxist economist M. Roberts'blog, and then re-posted his comment below to my blog, asking me "I wonder what Jack has to say about this Keynesian approach". So I thought it useful for me to reply to Ben's welcomed inquiry and give readers of this blog a sense of where my economic views stand in relation to Marx, Keynes, and post-Keynesian economic schools of thought. Are my views Keynesian? Marxist? Minskyan? Whatever. Here's Ben's post and re-post and my own in depth reply:
Benl8;
"I left the following comment at M. Robert's (A British Marxist economist–my paren) recent post on the same topic. I wonder what Jack has to say about this Keynesian approach. ——-
"Pushing on a string", is the often chosen description of this policy. Futile is the end result. I'm trying to read about the Reconstruction Finance Corporation which operated from 1932 to 1952. After WWII it was phased out. In the 30s it saved mostly solvent banks with emergency loans, and it bought railroad company debt. Mostly in the 1930s the WPA was the conduit of money, it transferred money directly to workers and families, it was direct job creation, the rate of unemployment dropped from 25% to 9.6%, 1933 to 1937. Keynes also had a solution for perpetual surplus nations, the creation of an International Monetary Clearing Union. This would prevent the race-to-the-bottom in wages that we see with China-US trade. And in the case of Germany, or any surplus-mercantilistic nation, it would require the surplus funds to be invested in the deficit countries. From Paul Davidson's book The Keynes Solution, page 138: It would encourage creditor nations to "spend these excess credits in three ways: 1.) on the products of any other IMCU member (import more); 2.) on new direct foreign investment in projects in other IMCU member nations (projects, not financial assets); 3.) provide foreign aid similar to the Marshall Plan. And a fourth, maybe, raise wage income in the surplus nation such as increased Earned Income Tax Credits. It's all about aggregate demand and a balance of income distribution, within each nation and between nations. Direct job creation is a good part of the Green New Deal, some of it targeted to specific low-income communities and geographies. But most of it spent on upgrades and transitions to renewable energy. I'm not sure what Marxists are calling for, but this is state-managed capitalism, and it may lead to the more socialized condition of a world economy. My blog: http://benL88.blogspot.com
Jack Rasmus Reply to Ben
Classical economics was big on supply side approaches to economic growth. Add more capital, more labor, more land and in the long run that produced more products–i.e. supply. They were not very big on consumer demand that might stimulate that production in the shorter run (except for Malthus who had the crazy idea to stimulate demand by diverting more income to landowners. Malthus was a big landowner of course).
Marx's economics is in the classical economics tradition. Marx uses the same classical conceptual framework, which he redefines in some ways but still remains well within. Example: the classical labor theory of value by Smith, Ricardo and others gets a work over and becomes the basis for explaining Capitalist growth slowdown by Marx–but like his classical economics predecessors, in the long run (i.e. Marx's breakdown theory). But Marx, like the classicalists before him, Smith, Ricardo, Malthus, et. al., never had an explanation for the business cycle. That's short run. Even depressions. Nevertheless contemporary Marxist economists continue to try to apply his long run, supply side views on capital accumulation and labor exploitation to explain short run business cycles. Marx never intended that, however. The classical economics conceptual framework, built to explain long run growth or the lack thereof, does not work to explain shorter run business contractions, including depressions. Nor does Marx, or contemporary marxists, give much attention to financial cycles and how they periodically impact real cycles in the short run creating recessions, great recessions, and even depressions. Capitalist financial markets were undeveloped in mid-19th century Britain (the basis for Marx's data and empirical analysis). Smith, Ricardo and other classicalists understood banking and finance even less. Marx not much better. (One exception might be the banker, Thornton, whose works are often not read). ANd Marx did not give sufficient attention to effective demand, although it plays more a role than in SMith-Ricardo-JB Say. (Yes it was part of his circulation of capital system of analysis but demand was the consequence of production, which was primary. What he called 'realization crises' recognized demand as a factor, but production was the driving force of exploitation and therefore of the movement and circuit of capital from inputs to goods to money back to inputs again) . Marx was the most advanced thinker among classical economists, working with their conceptual framework and even advancing it as far as it could go. But capitalism has evolved tremendously since 1850s Britain. It has become more financialized. It has become more globalized. It has radically transformed labor, product and money markets. The nature of money has itself changed. Unfortunately, contemporary Marxists (not all, but especially Anglo-American) have not kept up with these changes (which is very un-Marxist by the way). They instead continue to try to 'fit' modern capitalist dynamics into 1850 classical economic theory. Or, in other words, 'fit' a square reality into a round hole of past theory.
Keynes broke from the classical and neoclassical economic traditions and tried to create a new analytical framework. He succeeded only partly. And his theory was furthermore distorted by the counter-revolution in economics that followed after world war II that attacked his ideas. What followed attempted to cherry pick what it found useful in Keynes while largely restoring pre-Keynes economic nonsense called neoclassical economics and create a hybrid, a 'bastardized' form of Keynes. What purports to be Keynes today is mostly not Keynes but this hybrid ideological synthesis that is sometimes called 'Keynesianism' or Keynesian economics.
The real Keynes attempted to develop understanding of short term contractions called business cycles, how and why they occurred and how to recover from them. He debunked neoclassical economics before him. The key he argued was household demand. That was driven by employment. And employment could only be driven by government spending in a deep contraction of a business cycle. He argued against cutting interest rates and cutting business taxes to boost investment first. It wouldn't work, he argued. What drove investment was not cost of investment (whether taxes, cost of money, etc.). Business cost reduction in a contraction of the cycle would not generate investment nor in turn a return to production and therefore jobs and income to stimulate consumption. Raising consumption directly is what would restore investment (not tax cuts, low rates, wage cuts or even price increases). Getting disposable income in the hands of consumers was the crux to recovery. That could be done in a variety of ways. Get the government to directly hire the unemployed when businesses wouldn't. Provide unemployment insurance payments. Set a minimum wage. Start public works projects that would create construction jobs. Let unions become legal and expand. That too would raise wages of those with jobs. Provide social security for retirees. Take over mortgages and refinance them for 30 years, instead of the then typical 10 at the time, in order to lower mortgage payments and in turn give households more money to spend (the Home Owners Loan Corporation which functioned much like the Reconstruction Finance Corporation). The New Deal of FDR looked very much in practice what Keynes was advocating in theory. The idea was to raise disposable household income, that would drive consumption, that would in turn provide an incentive for business to invest again, and thereby hire more workers, raise income, etc, and commence a virtuous 'upward cycle'. It was 'bottom up' recovery. Households and workers got recovered first, then 'trickled up' via consumption to business revenue, profits, and eventually into more investment.
But capitalists, and especially bankers, don't like 'trickle up' and they own the politicians who vote on programs. They also determine the composition and policies of the central banks. So we get instead now bail out the bankers and continual subsidization of them even long after they've been bailed. We get bail out both bank and nonbank businesses via constant, chronic trillion dollar tax cuts and direct subsidy fiscal policies. The ideological argument is then that they will 'trickle down' some of their great profits to in turn boost real investment to create jobs and income for workers and households which then boosts consumption. That's the logic offered as truth and reality but it just doesn't work in that direction. In today's 21st century capitalism the 'trickle down' has become a mere 'drip drip'. Most of the tax cuts, and monetary policy of near zero interest rates and free QE money, doesn't get into real investment in the US any more. It flows instead offshore in today's globalized capitalism where US multinational corporations increasing invest and produce (they call it 'supply chains'); or it gets diverted into financial markets that cause stock, bond, and derivative bubbles (that also don't create any US jobs); it goes into mergers & acquisitions financing that only makes shareholders richer; or it is left to sit on corporate balance sheets waiting for the next lucrative financial or offshore investment opportunity to come. Keynes began to see this in 1935. Check out his Ch. 12 of his General Theory book. Marx had no idea of this in his first volume of Capital published in 1867 (based on 1850s-60s data in Britain). But Marx began to suspect the outline of this development in his unpublished notes in vol 3 of Capital. Gathered together by Engels, from the notes it is unclear who the author is sometime, Marx or Engels, the latter of whom was far less an economist than Marx).
So both Marx and Keynes were on to something abut the key role of employment, household income, demand and consumption as key to understanding business cycles. Marx only vaguely so; Keynes even more so. But both were still before their time.Their views don't adequately explain 21st century capitalism business cycles.
The economist Hyman Minsky attempted to take Keynes into the world of late 20th century capitalism that was beginning to transform from what Keynes in 1930s saw. Minsky wrote from the 1970s to the early 1990s. So he had a clearer view of what was going on, but still could see only the early outlines of what was coming in 21st century capitalism.
Readers should go back and read Marx's vol. 3, Keynes General Theory, and Minsky's 1990 articles. (For my take on all this, see my extensive Part 3 of my 2016 book, 'Systemic Fragility in the Global Economy', that reviews classical, Marx, Keynes and Minsky views, and then summarizes my own early views on how 21st century capitalism evolves as financial cycles interact with real cycles–sometimes producing 'normal' recessions, sometimes 'epic' recessions (that some call 'great recessions), and occasionally bona fide economic depressions.
Davidson's book referred to by Benl8 is in the tradition of trying to restore Keynes' actual views, not just the errors and ideology of the hybrid Keynesianism that is a synthesis of pre-Keynes with Keynes in the worst combination. That hybrid Keynesian view mis-taught generations of young economics students from the 1950s to the 1970s, until it was overthrown by a full retreat back to neoclassical economics led by Friedman's monetarism, the Chicago school, and dozens of nonsense offshoot theories after 1980. Davidson is in the school of what's called 'Post Keynesians', who try to go back to the original views of Keynes. Minsky would be a 'Financial Keynesian' of which they are more today (Wray, Keen, Tymoigne, etc.). Contemporary Marxists, especially the Anglo-Americans (the Europeans and emerging market Marxists are at least trying to revise Marx to the realities of 21st century capitalism), are still mostly trying to stick square pegs in round holes. Contemporary marxists aren't really marxist economists. They are Marxist Philologists. There's a few notable exceptions, like Harvey who are more open minded.
Keynes of course, and Minsky as well, do not have all the answers. Capitalism has evolved even beyond them. But they do have something of great value to add to our understanding of the role of income, demand, consumption, the destabilizing effects of financial speculation and bubbles, etc., as well as current day capitalism in general and should both be read. But read only in the original. My recommendation is don't waste time with third party summaries that mostly distort intentionally, or who haven't really understood or even perhaps read Keynes or Minsky. (ditto for Marx who should not only be read in the original; but I would add also read backwards; that is, start with vol. 3. Or first read Marx's pamphlet, 'Value, Price and Profit' and then read vol. 3). But you'll only really understand Marx if you immerse yourself first in the main texts of classical economics: Hume, Carnot, Smith, Ricardo, Thornton, etc. (You can skip Malthus.)
For my views in relation to all three–Marx, Keynes,Minsky–there's my 2010 book,'Epic Recession'(2010), the chapter on 'What's Financial Imperialism' in my book 'Looting Greece: A New Financial Imperialism Emerges' (2016), the last chapter in 'Systemic Fragility in the Global Economy'(2016), and the final chapter in 'Central Bankers at the End of Their Ropes'(2017).
Hope that addresses some of the excellent points made by Bl8, who always provides thoughtful questions and comments.

Thanks for articulating the bare-bones concepts that make up my comment. First, long ago I read Jeff Madrick's book Why Economies Grow, he emphasizes the role of widespread consumer power needed to create mass production. In short mass production requires mass consumption. And Marriner Eccles succinct explanation for the 1930s' collapse — that consumers were deprived of their purchasing power by the owner-class — also bolstered my focus on consumption. Your book Epic Recession ends with an analysis of dual fragilities, consumer and financial. I think I'll type out some of the end page: "But until the global money parade is routed at minimum from its secretive tax haven dens; until capital flows are taxed, monitored, regulated and controlled; and until the ever rising edifice of speculation is prohibited in what is still becoming a growing 'house of cards' derivatives system, the financial instability and fragility in the global system will continue to grow. Subsequent financial crises of greater severity and frequency will continue to occur. Their destabilizing effects on the real economy will continue to deepen. Should corresponding consumption fragility further deteriorate in parallel to financial fragility as well, a potentially explosive mix of both forms of fragility and instability will certainly ensure repeated Epic Recessions until one is too large and sever to be successfully contained — at which point a classic global depression may well result." (page 314) — That was ten years ago, and just as true today. Recently I looked at the Credit Suisse bank's Global Wealth Report that shows $317 trillion in private net worth. The U.S. federal government spent $4 trillion in 2018, in comparison. The world average savings per adult it's $63,100 (among about 5 billion adults on the planet). The median adult (half own less than) owns $4,231. The median for all adults is also 1% of the average per adult in the U.S., $403,000 per adult. The median is around $62,000 in the U.S. Global inequality is a disaster already, rarely recognized. The per capita daily expenditure in the U.S., at the median, is about $65 a day, and worldwide at the 60th percentile it is $7.40. All of which shows how poorly capitalism has performed in creating prosperity for the world's citizens. It's likely that only a big negative shock to the global system will raise awareness of its malignancy. My original comment was stimulated by a discussion of negative interest rates on extremely large bank accounts, but not on smaller accounts. I think this may be a fair and back-handed way to tax huge and untaxed wealth, and then apply the revenue to real tangible social goods and services.

Q: Doctrine 2, removing association SET NULL returns empty object instead of NULL With Doctrine, I have 2 classes
The relation they have is OneToMany/ManyToOne as such:
>> ZipGroup Class
/**
 * @ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="License", mappedBy="zipGroup")
 */
protected $licenses;

>> License Class
/**
 * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="ZipGroup", inversedBy="licenses")
 * @ORM\JoinColumn(name="zipGroup_id", referencedColumnName="id", onDelete="SET NULL")
 */
protected $zipGroup;

During my unit tests, I verify when I remove one zipgroup, that it's correctly set to null in the license.
The problem is, when I load the License from the repository, it seems that I get a dummy empty object (no ID) instead of NULL. Maybe it's a cached version?
...
$this->_em->remove($zipGroup);
$this->_em->flush();

$zipGroup = $this->_em->getRepository("BarcodePhpBundle:ZipGroup")->findOneByName("ZipGroupName");
$this->assertEquals(NULL, $zipGroup);

// License is NOT removed
$license = $this->_em->getRepository("BarcodePhpBundle:License")->findOneByPrice(25);
$this->assertEquals(25, $license->getPrice());

// BUG HERE, that value is not null, but I get an dummy object
$this->assertEquals(NULL, $license->getZipGroup());

Looking into the database, the row is NULL, but Doctrine doesn't say NULL...
Any idea?
It looks like this problem:

Do universities have a philanthropic obligation?
Question: Do universities have a philanthropic obligation?
Vest: Well I think that's fundamentally nonsense, and let me explain why. And again let me reflect personally. I have spent major chunks of my life at West Virginia University, at the University of Michigan, at MIT. I taught as a visiting professor one year at Stanford. I visit campuses all over the place. They all have a role, but I believe that this nation should always have a long reach and should always go for excellence. And it is a fact that there are a few schools who sort of average quality or excellence is greater than the average quality or excellence of others. By the way, you can go into virtually any state university in this country and I can find you some students, and I can find you some faculty that are every bit as good, maybe better sometimes than people I can find at Harvard, or MIT, or Stanford, or Caltech. It's out there. We have a marvelous situation of a lot of excellence across both public and private higher education. So these places got good because they stuck to the fundamentals. They had a vision of what they wanted to be. They remained relatively focused. They had very high standards for hiring, and promotion, and tenure. And over time they evolved into real world beaters. We need world beaters. Why? What happens to their graduates? Their graduates go into our companies. Hopefully their graduates go into our government. They go into education. They teach at other universities. The knowledge and the entrepreneurship that spin out of these institutions benefits everybody. So we cannot, cannot take the approach of, "We see some tall mountains out there. Let's cut 'em down and fill in the valleys." What we have to do is boost the support – both the moral support and the financial support – of these other institutions, all of whom play an enormously important role. If you say to me, "How many really good research universities are there in the country?" The answer is not three, or four, or five. The answer is probably a couple hundred. And where we have been hurt over the last 20 years is that the state support for their best universities has been going down and down and down, and they are scrambling for more and more private money. And the social contract has sort of been damaged between several of them in their states. The number one thing we have to do is build up the support of these great state universities across the country that, by the way, educate the vast majority of our students. But to say therefore you shouldn't have a Harvard or an MIT, but attract some, you know . . . their share of terrific undergraduates and a lot of the best graduate students in the country, I just think is the wrong approach.
Institutions teach by example, says Vest.

John plans his day such that he spends 30% of his time for exercise, some of his time for family and 45% of his time for his work. On a certain day he spent 20% more time than he had planned for exercising. If he cannot change the duration of time planned for his work, what percentage of family time does he have to reduce? Assuming that these are the only three tasks he plans to do.
Happy to receive feedback on my post. Please give kudos if you find my content interesting.

20% extra time on exercise means 6 extra units on exercise since 20% of 30 = 6 units.
He needs to spend the same time on work so these 6 units will come out of family time.
(25 - 19)/25 x 100 = 6 x 4 = 24 percent less than he normally does.
I don't understand the last step. Why do we need to divide 6 over 25x100?
Why isn't the answer 6%? The question asks "what percentage of family time does he have to reduce?" He only spent 19% of family time so he had to reduce his time by 6%.
Can you please help me understand where I'm wrong? Thank you!
Because family time is 25% of total time. So the reduced time should be from that 25% only.
Say you scored 50% in a certain exam last year. This year you scored 40%. So your score went down by 10 percentage points.
But if you scored 50 last year and only 40 this year, the percentage decrease in your score is (10/50)*100 = 20%.
The family time was 25%. Now the family point is 19%. That is a drop of 6 percentage POINTS.
But he was spending 25 hrs with the family before. Now he is spending 19 hrs. So he had to reduce his family time by 6 hrs for 25 hrs he was spending before. What is this in percentage terms?
Let's assume this is a money problem. In this case, he would have originally spent $25 on his family, and then later he was able to spend only $19 on his family. So yes, he has spent $6 less on his family, but this means that the percent change of his expenditure is (19 - 25)/25 x 100% = -6/25 x 100%= -24%, which is a 24% decrease.
The reason that this problem is so confusing is that the original units are in percents (rather than dollars or hours or other unit). So you are actually required to calculate the percent change of two percents rather than the easier idea of calculating the percent change in dollars or hours.

Who hits the longest drives on the PGA Tour?
Golf has undergone both technological and data revolutions in recent years which have boosted the performance of players, so it feels like only a matter of time before somebody sets a new record for the longest drive.
We've looked at the PGA Tour's statistics to reveal every officially recorded drive of at least 450 yards – along with every player who registered a drive of at least 400 yards in a season – to identify who could break the record in the future.
What are the longest golf drives on record?
The introduction of the ShotLink measurement system shortly after the turn of the century has allowed every drive on the PGA Tour to be measured accurately with a laser.
Under these conditions, the longest drive is the 476-yard monster unleashed by Davis Love III at Kapalua in January 2004.
Love wasn't the obvious candidate to set the record that season as, despite recording an average driving distance of marginally over 300 yards, there were 10 golfers striking the ball further from the tee.
The previous record, which still remains in second place by three yards, was Jeff Sluman's effort in the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic a year earlier.
Sluman's drive was made all the more impressive by him being six years older than Love at the time of his achievement, plus standing eight inches shorter.
Furthermore, his average driving distance that season wasn't even among the top 100 and there was only one other season in the ShotLink era in which he sent a ball at least 400 yards.
Both of the courses at which the two longest drives were recorded feature elsewhere in the current top 10.
The Plantation Course at Kapalua makes January a popular month to see long drives, with both Retief Goosen and Gary Woodland having cleared at least 450 yards there.
The PGA West (Palmer) course used in the Bob Hope Classic was the setting for a declining David Duval's 454-yarder back in 2002.
Who could break the record?
There have been nine golfers who have driven the ball at least 400 yards in three or more of the last five seasons, but only one who has managed it every time.
Justin Thomas is already in the top 10 with his 457-yard effort in 2019 and his 449-yarder this year was agonisingly close to making him the only golfer to have two entries on the list, so he is an obvious candidate.
However, his highest average driving distance of 305.2 yards is some way short of what other active golfers have managed.
Bubba Watson's 312.9 yards tops the list and his 455-yard drive at Pebble Beach last June is a further sign of his potential.
There are two relative newcomers who might steal the headlines, however.
Cameron Champ and Kurt Kitayama have both turned pro within the last five years and already recorded higher average distances over a season than Watson.
The course – and more specifically the hole – clearly play a huge part in how far a ball can be hit, and some stand out as likely settings for a record-breaking drive.
The Plantation Course at Kapalua has provided almost half of all season-best 400-plus-yard drives in the ShotLink era and features four of the five holes which have seen the most recorded.
However, the 16th hole of the Firestone Country Club (South) is the most productive overall with eight more than its nearest contender. Bet on golf!

Last Thursday…Maddox's Preschool class had their little Christmas program. They dressed in brown to be reindeer and looked oh so cute! They sang a few Christmas songs and then had refreshments.
They sang Jingle Bells, Up On The Housetop, and Happy Birthday Jesus!!
Maddox is growing up before our very eyes…just 2 short years ago…he was a 6 month old baby just like Ryder…wow…time flies! He is so smart and can carry on conversations…I get tickled at a lot of the things he says He is such a Joy and we are having so much fun starting Christmas traditions with him this year!
Maddox looks so cute in his reindeer outfit! And I like Ryder's outfit too, so cute!
Your boys are SO cute...looks like a great time with fun memories! And I love the family picture at the end...you guys are just adorable. :) Merry Christmas friend!!


Hmmm, that gives me an idea.

Having someone telling me to go against artillery by wearing stickers. Yeah, I'm sure they work and everything, but somehow that expression wouldn't give the comfort I'd need in that situation. Thank God I'd never join the army.
Yeah, I'm sure they work and everything, but somehow that expression wouldn't give the comfort I'd need in that situation.
Yeah, going against artillery all naked is so much better.
Seriously though, this sounds really cool. Even though it'll just make the military higher-ups *cough* chief executive *cough* more excited to look for skirmishes to get into.
Is it? I'd actually prefer body armour, non-sticker form.
. It'll just make the military higher-ups *cough* chief executive *cough* more excited to look for skirmishes to get into.
Shhh, dont give bush any ideas. That sounds cool. I wonder if that stuff will be able to handle massive amounts of srapnal with out becomeing swiss cheese.
I'd prefer an alternate strategy to going against artillery in the first place.
I'd prefer to have someone else fight entirely... Make love not war and all that. . .

Having someone telling me to go against artillery by wearing stickers.
when is the army gonna come out with scratch and sniff armor?
i'm all for new gear for our great forces, but this is alittle silly, but if it saves live, then its worth trying!
They should do things like peel-and-stick roads and walls.
Scratch and sniff... for a second when I read the title I thought about making some stupid comment about "Scratch and sn1ff lolZ11" but then it occured to me that that would have been a useless post, so I thought I would help out new friend here with a little bit of AndrewB's insight.
And they will, for some reason . . .
You know, this sticker-armor wouldn't actually do anything to protect people, come to think of it. You could make tanks a hell of a lot lighter by putting it on top of some lighter plating and then just tap out the dents later on with a balpene hammer, but a person being hit with a bullet and this armor on would be protected only against penetration. That's not to say that the person's bones won't shatter from the force (possibly with increased shock because there is no penetration?. For personell armor, this would probably work best stuck on top of light kevlar, or at least something to absorb the shock.
No, you can't, actually. Several variants of the M1A1 and the M1A2 have a type of defense placed between the body and the armor plating that is an explosive wafer. The purpose is that a shell impacting with the armor sets off the explosive, the force of which, directed out, keeps the shell from penetrating the body of the tank. Hitting that with a ballpeen hammer would be hella bad.
An optional outlayer that's very handy to have.

I love the idea of recycling crayons and using molds to make new ones. That's why I save ALL my sons' broken crayons.
I haven't seen where anyone has made DIY Easter egg crayons and since it's Easter time, I thought this would be PERFECT!
These Easter egg crayons would be fun for the kids to use on their next coloring project. Better yet, they would be GREAT as party favors at the kids' next Easter party.
Since I've been saving the kids' broken crayons, I was ALL SET with that part. While I was a TJMaxx, I found this cute Easter egg mold and knew exactly what I wanted to do with it!
I had/helped my son pull the wrappers off his crayons and break them into pieces. I think he was excited that he was actually able to BREAK his crayons (and not get into trouble).
He was actually having fun breaking crayons!!
Then, my son placed ALL the crayons in the Easter egg mold until they reached the top.
Quick Tip: Be careful NOT to overfill the molds, it can end up quite messy!
I preheated the oven to 350 degrees, then baked the crayons for 12 minutes.
I removed the mold from the oven. Allow the crayons to sit for 3 hours BEFORE pulling them out of the mold.
My son was super excited he couldn't wait to see his crayon eggs!
Side Note: Looking for another fun kids Easter craft? Why not try this plastic Easter egg chicks and paper nest craft?
When cool, gently pull each Easter egg crayon from it's mold and VOILA all done!!
He worked so hard on his crayons and now he gets to enjoy them!
His little brother even had some fun with them!
My son thought these were super cute and I think they came out perfect. We had LOTS of fun working on these together. I can't wait to make more!
They were really an EASY project to MAKE and a perfect way to recycle those broken crayons. Gotta' love that right?!

Central Philippines State University through the Research and Extension Office, the Graduate School and College Alumni Batch 1990 installed solar systems at 5 houses in Sitio Cabugan, Brgy. Tagucon on April 16, 2019.
Each system includes a 210W, 1324x 992 x 35 mm monocrystalline solar panel and 1000 W inverter, which together is capable to power not only household lightings but also laptops and electric fans.
NOAC Batch 1990 together with CPSU faculty and community partners in Cabugan.
CPSU president Dr. Aladino C. Moraca, who is also a member of NOAC batch 1990.
University president Dr. Aladino C. Moraca said during the short program to open the Training Workshop on Household-based Designing and Installation of Solar System, that in one year, CPSU has already installed solar systems in 8 of the 27 households in the area. He added that he plans to prioritize the installation of home solar systems to households with access to the springs and caves nearby and convinced them to protect the water source in exchange for the amenity.
On February 23, 2018, partner agencies from the government, the private sector and CPSU through the College of Agriculture and Forestry (CAF), officially turned over two solar home systems and rainwater collectors to two residents of Sitio Cabugan during the launching of the trade-off community-based natural resource management program of CAF.
The program is an extension service wherein the recipients agreed to receive the goods in exchange of their effort to manage natural resources in their community. In particular, each recipient has to allot 1.5 hectares for organic farming, protect the forest and send their children or relative to study at CPSU.
The program is supported by partners from RU Foundry and Machine Shop Corporation and EcoAgri Development Foundation, Multi-Sectoral Alliance for Development-Negros (MUAD-Negros), the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist (OPA) of Negros Occidental, and Foundation for the Philippine Environment.

There are several strategies that can help you find a list of card candidates. If you have excellent credit, offers for good credit cards are probably showing up in your mailbox. You can check to see if any of these include zero percent APR introductory offers on balance transfers.
Sometimes, you'll get great deals in the mail because these offers are tailored to your history. Well, they're great deals if you have a great credit history!
But even if you do receive an offer that looks quite good, you should still do a little research and see what else is available. Comparing credit card offers can be well worth your time.
There are websites that let you to conduct searches for balance transfer credit cards.
The search feature varies by site, but there's usually a "balance transfer" category where you can see a list of cards. In most cases, you'll be able to narrow down your list by selecting more of your preferences. For instance, you might only want to see cards with no annual fees. You can further refine your list by choosing to look only at cards that are within your credit range, such as excellent credit.
You can always do a search on your own and compile your own list of candidates. Once you have a list of cards, you can also read reviews of these cards. The best part about reading balance transfer credit card reviews? The comments section.
That's the place where you'll find unbridled enthusiasm or outright disdain for a card. It's always helpful to see what experience others have had with a specific card. But go for a large sample size if you read reviews. That's the best way to get a really good feel for what the majority of consumers think about a given card.

Q: CGPoint wrong assignment My code:
CGFloat scaleFactor = newSize.width / oldSize.width;
CGFloat newCenterX = center_.x * scaleFactor;
CGFloat newCenterY = center_.y * scaleFactor;

CGPoint newCenter = CGPointMake(newCenterX, newCenterY);
//newCenter.x = newCenterX;
//newCenter.y = newCenterY;

CGFloat newRaduis = raduis_ * scaleFactor;
newCenter.y += newSize.height - ceilf(scaleFactor) * oldSize.height;
NSLog(@"Convertion from %@ to %@", NSStringFromCGSize(oldSize), NSStringFromCGSize(newSize));
NSLog(@"old center = %@, old radius = %f", NSStringFromCGPoint(center_), raduis_);
NSLog(@"new center = %@, new radius = %f", NSStringFromCGPoint(newCenter), newRaduis);
NSLog(@"new center x = %f, new center y = %f", newCenterX, newCenterY);

And output:
2012-09-14 14:18:35.027 TestApp[425:4b93] Convertion from {1080, 1920} to {320, 415}
2012-09-14 14:18:35.031 TestApp[425:4b93] old center = {246, 822}, old radius = 20.000000
2012-09-14 14:18:35.033 TestApp[425:4b93] new center = {73, -1261}, new radius = 5.925926
2012-09-14 14:18:35.035 TestApp[425:4b93] new center x = 73, new center y = 244

In output - new center = {73, -1261}, new radius = 5.925926. Why center y value is negative? What I do wrong?
Thanks in advance for help

A: The error is because of your line
newCenter.y += newSize.height - ceilf(scaleFactor) * oldSize.height;

*

*scaleFactor is about 0.2962 so ceilf(scaleFactor) is equal to 1.

*newSize.height is 415, oldSize.height is 1920, so 415 - 1*1920 is -1505, and newCenter.y += -1505 makes newCenter.y change from 243.556 to 243.556 + (-1505) = 1261.444.

So this seems legit that newCenter.y is -1261 after this line.


My daughter loves to watch YouTube videos of young women talking about their "hauls" or in the language of us older folk – the things they recently bought at their favorite store(s). From the hottest shade of lipstick and nail polish to the newest fashion craze to what's hot in music – she's on top of it.
In fact, these videos even inspired her to launch her own YouTube channel, which surprisingly has nearly 500 followers with one of her videos reaching 8,500 views! Not too bad for a 14-year-old.
Back in the "old days" our purchases were influenced by friends, classmates, TV commercials, magazine ads, and even who was on our cereal boxes. But today social media influencers are pushing those traditional forms aside, at least that's the conclusion of a new study conducted by Twitter and analytics firm Annalect.
The study found that 40 percent of those people asked said they purchased an item online after having seen it used by a social media influencer on YouTube, Vine, Twitter or Instagram. It went on to find that 20 percent of respondents shared what influencers were promoting -- nothing like word-of-mouth to boost sales.


Online professional networking site LinkedIn is often the go-to destination for those who want to bump up their contact books or hunt for a new role.
However, Dutch airline KLM has opted to use the site to help connect customers with its staff, with passengers simply needing a few clicks to make that all important connection with the KLM team. The airline has already amassed a following of 70,000 on LinkedIn and now passengers can get the information they need from the customer service team around the clock via the site.
From general queries about flights to making additional baggage arrangements, the social media platform will help to create a virtual bridge between KLM customer service staff and passengers. The airline has outlined that it is the first to offer customer services on LinkedIn. Customers can contact KLM in one following languages: Dutch, English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, Norwegian, Russian and Japanese.
Martijn Van Der Zee, Senior Vice President E-Commerce at Air France KLM, said: "Linkedin falls in line with KLM's strategy to be where our customers are. Linkedin attracts business people worldwide, many of whom regularly travel by air, which makes it the ideal platform for KLM."
Cosmos also shakes up its rep contact methods -Earlier this year Cosmos revealed that it is enhancing its Cosmos Concierge service, following customer research, to enable customers to contact their overseas team 24 hours a day using whichever method is best for their needs. As well as being able to contact the team via email and phone, customers can also connect with Cosmos Concierge team members via FaceTime, Skype, Tango or social media.
Families can now head to the continent for a third less!

How publishers are cashing in on cryptomania
Media outlets are amping up their crypto coverage in response to growing public interest in the topic
Some outlets have developed specialized products like newsletters, videos and courses to grow readership and revenue
Suman Bhattacharyya | January 22, 2018
In 2018, talk about cryptocurrency moved beyond a niche area among finance geeks to a mainstream one that's part of popular culture. It's made it into dinner table conversation among families. Companies that mention blockchain have seen their share prices gone up. Bitcoin has stood in the way of friendships.
Now, publishers are getting in on the frenzy. Media companies from Business Insider to Investopedia are all creating new products, from newsletters to video — but the pressure is also on to differentiate.
At Business Insider, which hired an additional reporter to focus on crypto stories last year, traffic to crypto stories jumped 500 percent between the second and fourth quarters of 2017, according to Mario Ruiz, a company spokesman. Last month, it rolled out a video show and newsletter.
Markets Insider, the BI site that focuses on markets and data, also saw traffic grow 430 percent between the third and fourth quarter of last year.
"Three types of people have been looking at crypto stories," said Markets Insider director and general manager Thomas Greaney. "The diehards who have been there from the start, people who are investing in markets who may be little skeptical, and new users who were never interested, but want to know what bitcoin or ethereum is."
To keep up with the fast-developing news cycle, he explained that it requires the outlet's U.S., U.K., and Australia bureaus to work together to ensure round-the-clock coverage.
Traffic to Quartz's future of finance section, which has been reporting about cryptocurrencies for six years, grew 10 times throughout 2017. It also hired an additional reporter to focus on the topic last year. For Jason Karaian, global finance and economics editor, the spike in interest in cryptocurrencies gives Quartz the license to go deeper to explore the issues and people behind the news.
"We read the signals from the huge increase in readership, and we felt emboldened to be as ambitious as we can be about our coverage," said Karaian.
For instance, last year, Quartz sent reporters to a bitcoin mine in Inner Mongolia and a secret Swiss mountain bunker where wealthy investors stash their bitcoins. Given the scope of the topic, knowing what not to cover is important. Quartz hasn't covered the avalanche of ICOs very much, and it doesn't do stories about every company that sets up a cryptocurrency exchange, Karaian said.
"Many of them will sign up some high-profile celebrity to pitch them, and we don't consider that newsworthy in and of itself."
For specialized outlets like IAC-owned Investopedia, cryptocurrencies are giving rise to new products that can grow its revenue, including a crypto-focused newsletter that will roll out in the first quarter of this year, and a "Cryptocurrency for Beginners" course that will launch this week for $99. It also plans to release a cryptocurrency investments course in the next few months.
"We have a lot of evergreen content, explainers and FAQs, and we've been adding to it," said Caleb Silver, Investopedia's editor-in-chief. "It's an opportunity to drive traffic, and we'll continue to add to that, while we add more newsier content around the price [of cryptocurrencies] and the things that impact the price."
Cryptocurrency content has also generated increased interest from financial services advertisers, he added. Investopedia reported that by the end of 2017, visits to cryptocurrency content accounted for 10 percent of the traffic to the site, or approximately 9 million pageviews, compared to the three to four percent of pageviews in the beginning of that year, some 3.5 million.
Bitcoin was the top searched term on Investopedia in 2017, said Silver, who added that courses are a way the publisher can respond to growing interest from readers.
"We love getting on the pulse of what people are trying to educate themselves about in finance and investing in general, and cryptocurrency has been a great example of that."
