the degree to which demand for a product is affected by its price.
The degree to which price influences the consumption or purchase of a commodity. If price has a large effect on consumption, elasticity of demand is high. If price has a small effect on consumption, elasticity of demand is low.
a principle that assumes that reinforcement depends on how much more likely the organism is to perform the reinforcer response than the instrumental response before an instrumental conditioning procedure is introduced. The greater the differential probability of the reinforcer and instrumental responses during baseline conditions, the greater is the reinforcement effect of providing opportunity to engage in the reinforcer response after performance of the instrumental response.
-Master has complete control of turning off the shock coupled with..
(in instrumental conditioning) A procedure in which reinforcement for responding is available whenever one stimulus (the S+, or S^D) is present and not available whenever another stimulus (S- or S^delta) is present.
Why do we use the hippocampus for studies?
An instrumental conditioning procedure in which there is a positive contingency between the instrumental response and an aversive stimulus. If the participant performs the instrumental response, it receives the aversive stimulus, if the participant does not perform the instrumental response, it does receive the aversive stimulus.
Using a viral vector to place genes into the hippocampus..


Nearly 50% of people aged 12-35 years – or 1.1 billion young people – are at risk of hearing loss due to prolonged and excessive exposure to loud sounds, including music they listen to through personal audio devices.
"You know, this isn't so good for your hearing" - "What?"
WHO recommends that governments and manufacturers adopt the voluntary WHO-ITU standard. Civil society, in particular professional associations and others that promote hearing care, also has a role to play in advocating for the standard and in raising public awareness about the importance of safe listening practices so that consumers demand products that protect them from hearing loss.

Seems like everything old is new again. I've spent the last couple of days making an 'old' product I haven't tried in awhile, Magpie Boxes,as a reorder for a long time customer with a shop in MA. Meant to inspire like minded collage artists, these are kraft paper boxes stuffed full of collected loot to tantalize collectors. Everyone that looks at them sees something different. But if I've packed them properly one thing will jump out as a must have. "Looks like my kitchen junk drawer" accused a studio visitor who dropped by while I was in the middle of construction. Obviously he's not a believer. Because to a flea marketeer like myself, they're full of pure gold.

Dave Mason, one of the founders of the Cusp Conference, shares his unique perspective with us below.
I have seen the enemy, and it is a box.
You click onto one of your social media channels, spend a few seconds scrolling, and there they are. Those seemingly innocuous—maybe even friendly—words.
If you're in the idea business—and really, who isn't?—those three words are a red flag. What they're telling you is that a machine has taken a tiny sample of information gleaned from your online decision-making patterns and decided that it knows you. It has then taken the liberty of feeding you content (most likely paid) that it thinks you'll respond to positively. Basically, the machine is trying to put you in a box so it can profit by occupying and mining your attention span. But for anyone whose life is about learning, ideas, creativity or innovation, inside a box is the last place you want to be.
As a partner in Multiple, Inc. (a strategic design firm), one of my jobs is to identify and secure speakers for our conference 'about the design of everything'. Each year, Cusp Conference brings together 25 or so presenters from unrelated fields and areas of expertise, and puts them on the stage in Chicago's MCA Theater in front of an audience of about 275 attendees that might include high school students, architects, start-up founders, physicians, and corporate CEOs. The 2017 iteration of Cusp—taking place September 27-28—includes speakers from fields as diverse as custom sneaker design, poetry, hip-hop architecture (yes, that's a thing) and software development. Sure, the speakers are all 'curated' within an overall construct that sort of holds them together conceptually, but does that make me a 'suggester'? A box creator? I think not.
What Cusp is designed to do is to place people into a kind of structured unfamiliarity. It's not about feeding people content that we know will resonate with them. It's about providing them with the opportunity to be surprised, to be delighted, to connect with and discover ideas from people with whom they might never have interacted.
This intentional serendipity has led to some interesting results. When a comic book writer met an army veteran, the idea for a story was born. When a manufacturer met a theater designer, a new approach to business was created. There's no way we could have predicted those meaningful connections, no way we could have anticipated the ideas that resulted when any of the 'previously knowns' of those attendees encountered the 'previously unknowns' offered up by those presenters.
So, if you're someone who's looking for inspiration, if you're someone who's in the business of ideas and innovation, here's a suggestion for you. Get out of your machine-curated box as often as you can.
Because the word 'innovation' comes from the Latin innovatus —'to renew or change'. And the view from inside a box is always the same.


On Episode 369 of The Waves of Tech, we dive into some somber yet relevant topics to kick off the podcast. September 11, 2001 is without question a terrible time in American history. Before YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, we relied on 24-hour news outlets for updates and information. We remember 9-11 and show the difference 16 years make. In the face of tragedy and natural disaster, we have some great tech tools in our back pockets for use. Facebook's "Checked In As Safe" feature is an excellent means of communication to inform friends and family of our safety. Drone deployment is second nature in disaster now, adding tremendous value to government, relief aid, law enforcement, and insurance agencies. In not so shocking news, more data has been hacked and this time from Equifax – the holder of an incredible amount of personal and sensitive data. Finally, Nike is allowing customer to custom design using augmented reality and artificial intelligence in their own shoe in their New York City based studio. The Waves of Tech is powered by modernlife.network – Modern Issues. Modern Discussions. Enjoy the podcast and continue to ride…The Waves of Tech.
September 11 – it is one of those days that you already remember where you were when the news hit of the domestic terror attacks in New York City, USA. Before YouTube, Facebook, smartphones, and Twitter, we relied heavily on 24-hour news and local radio for updates.
The devastation of Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma is intense. Our technological efforts behind data collection and scientific modeling proved accurate in reporting and potential for damaging effects. On the other side, Facebook allows us to demonstrate our safety.
We know the effectiveness of drones – their ability to gather an immense quantity of data in a relatively short time period; their ability to be deployed immediately; their ability to protect persons on the ground from further harm. They are masterfully used in natural disasters such as fires, floods, earthquakes, and more.
Guess what – another data breach! Shocking…well not really of course. Equifax was hacked to the tune of 143 million user accounts, proving once again that no agency, no company, and no information is 100% safe with cyber criminals in the mix.
Alright, Nike is doing something pretty cool here. In an attempt to drive online traffic from Amazon and direct customers into their stores, Nike rolled out the ability for customers to design their own shoe in 90 minutes – including color, graphics, layout, and more.

Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens was born 28th Jume 1577. Rubens was a major seventeenth century artist And was a proponent of extravagant Baroque style that emphasised movement, colour, and sensuality, who was known for his Counter Reformation altarpieces, portraits, landscapes, and history paintingso mythological and allegorial sujects.In addition to running a lare studio in Antwerp that produced paintings popular with nobility and art collectors throughout Europe, Rubens was a classically educatd humanist scholar and diplomat who was knighted by both Philip IV, King of Spain, andChares I, King of England was raised as a Catholic. Religion figured prominently in much of his work and Rubens later became one of the leading voices of the Catholic Counter-Reformation style of painting (he had said "My passion omes from the heavens, no from earthly musings"). In Antwerp, Rubens received ahumanist education, studying Latin and classical literature. By fourteen he began his artistic apprenticeship with Tobias Verhaeght. Subsequently, he studied under two of the city's leading painters of the time the late Mannerist artists Adam van Noort and Otto van een.Much of his earliest training involved copying earlier artists' wrks, such as woodcuts by Hans Holbein the Younger and Marcantonio Raimondi's engravings after Raphael. Rubens completed his education in 1598, at which time he entered the Guild of S. Luke as an independent master.
In 1600, Rubens travelled to Italy. He stopped first in Venice, where he saw paintings by Titian, Veronese, and Tintoretto, before settling in Mantua at the court of Duke Vincenzo I Gonzaga. The coloring and compositions of Veronese and Tintoretto had an immediate effect on Rubens's painting, and his later, mature style was profoundly influenced by Titian.With financial support from the Duke, Rubens travelled to Rome by way of Florence in 1601. There, he studied classical Greek and Roman art and copied works of the Italian masters, the Hellenistic sculpture Laocoön and his Sons was especially influential on him, as was the art of Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci and Caravaggio. He later made a copy of that artist's Entombment of Christ, recommended that his patron, the Duke of Mantua, purchase The Death of the Virgin(Louvre), and was instrumental in the acquisition of The Madonna of the Rosary (Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna) for the Dominican church in Antwerp. During this first stay in Rome, Rubens completed his first altarpiece commission, St. Helena with the True Cross for the Roman church of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme.Rubens travelled to Spain on a diplomatic mission in 1603, delivering gifts from the Gonzagas to the court of Philip III. While there, he studied the extensive collections of Raphael and Titian that had been collected by Philip II. He also painted an equestrian portrait of the Duke of Lerma during his stay (Prado, Madrid) that demonstrates the influence of works like Titian's Charles V at Mühlberg (1548; Prado, Madrid). This journey marked the first of many during his career that combined art and diplomacy.
He returned to Italy in 1604, where he remained for the next four years, first in Mantua and then in Genoa and Rome. In Genoa, Rubens painted numerous portraits, such as the Marchesa Brigida Spinola-Doria (National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.), and the portrait of Maria di Antonio Serra Pallavicini, in a style that influenced later paintings by Anthony van Dyck, Joshua Reynolds and Thomas Gainsborough. He also began a book illustrating the palaces in the city, which was published in 1622 as Palazzi di Genova. From 1606 to 1608, he was mostly in Rome but returned to Antwerp in 1608 and His return coincided with a period of renewed prosperity in the city, he was appointed as court painter by Albert VII, Archduke of Austria and Infanta Isabella Clara Eugenia of Spain, sovereigns of the Low Countries. In 1610, Rubens moved into a new house and studio that he designed. Now the Rubenshuis Museum, in the centre of Antwerp, it accommodated his workshop and made the most of his extensive collection of paintings, and his personal art collection and library,. During this time he created.Altarpieces such as The Raising of the Cross (1610) and The Descent from the Cross (1611–1614) for the Cathedral of Our Lady which were particularly important in establishing Rubens as Flanders' leading painter . The Raising of the Cross also demonstrates the artist's synthesis of Tintoretto's Crucifixion for the Scuola Grande di San Rocco in Venice, Michelangelo's dynamic figures, and Rubens's own personal style.
Sadly.Rubens died from heart failure, which was a result of his chronic gout on 30 May 1640. He was interred in Saint Jacob's church, Antwerp. The artist had eight children, three with Isabella and five with Hélène; his youngest child was born eight months after his death.Rubens was a prolific artist. His commissioned works were mostly religious subjects, "history" paintings, which included mythological subjects, and hunt scenes. He painted portraits, especially of friends, and self-portraits, and in later life painted several landscapes. Rubens designed tapestries and prints, as well as his own house. He also oversaw theephemeral decorations of the Joyous Entry into Antwerp by the Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand in 1635.His drawings are mostly extremely forceful but not detailed; he also made great use of oil sketches as preparatory studies. He was one of the last major artists to make consistent use of wooden panels as a support medium, even for very large works, but he used canvas as well, especially when the work needed to be sent a long distance. For altarpieces he sometimes painted on slate to reduce reflection problems.His fondness of painting full-figured women gave rise to the terms 'Rubensian' or 'Rubenesque' for plus-sized women.Rubens was a great admirer of Leonardo da Vinci's work. Using an engraving done 50 years after Leonardo started his project on the Battle of Anghiari, Rubens did a masterly drawing of the Battle which is now in the Louvre in Paris. More of Rubens valuable paintings have also recently been discovered in Oxford.

In my last post I showed how a bot can replace your manual clicking on market grid to select automatically a favourite horse on in-play market. The bot shows this way a favourite path to victory, what you can see in Output messages, favourite name and time when a horse became the favourite and how many times.
In this post we can see a video showing how to visualize these data in charts using plotly charts (FSharp.Plotly). After a race is closed so winner is known the script generates two charts.
The first chart showing front runners, so horses on the first position, and their recorded position, traded price.
The second chart shows winner and his traded price, offered back and lay price, and position changes.
What is advantage of using such visualization technique?


Life Flashing before my eyes.. Larson Style. In the last 7 short days I have experienced highs and lows, laughter and tears, life and death. I know most of all of us have weeks like this, but last week was my turn.
On Tuesday August 9th my Aunt Marie passed away unexpexectedly at the age of 87. She was loved and will be missed of course by family and friends. We all grieve and are sad for our loss, but celebrate her arrival to Heaven where she is reunited with family, friends, and most importantly JESUS. This is the paradox of the Christian experience where the lines between death and life (the eternal type) are experienced by those who love the Lord.
Then Friday morning August 10th my long awaited (9+ months) expected third granddaughter Reagan Holland Larson arrived.
This of course is the best kind of news, and holding her the following morning was a perfect healing touch for my grieving heart.
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL.. Over these same 7 days my wife's family was in town for a reunion. There are six siblings in the Laun family.. ages 83, 82, 79, 77, 60, while my wife is the itsy bitsy baby at age 57.
All six siblings were here with their spouses along with a smattering of kids and grandkids. Activities included sight seeing, a picnic, paddle boat ride on the Mississippi, and a (heart attack free )baseball game of sorts with players ranging from age 6 through 77.
This was a great time of celebrating family and heritage. All are doing well and actually still like each other.
Health of all siblings is good, but if some nefarious sort targeting senior citizens robbed us the highlight of their bootie would selling our hearing aides on the black market... or random senior homes. The only negative me spending that many days with Mary's family is that I ate waaay too much. I know, I don't have to eat so much, but.. mind your own business.
So there you have it, what a week. Life Flashing before my eyes? .. or as Mufasa from the Lion King explains.. This is the Circle of Life.
Life is messy, including roller coaster moments wanting you to exit the ride, or 'hurl'. From birth through the family reunions to that day until this ride stops .. this life is a gift from God.
May God bless each of your lives with joy in your journey. Remember always to love God and care for others.


UK-based Osirium Technologies designs and supplies subscription-based cyber security software. It has four products: privileged access management (PAM), privileged task management (PTM), privileged session management (PSM) and privileged behaviour management (PBM).
A flurry of contract announcements highlight that Osirium is seeing increasing adoption of its software across a wide variety of use cases and verticals. Recent contract wins include a deal with a large UK transport and travel services provider to secure 500 devices over 12 months and a UK division of a global financial services provider for 150 devices for 12 months. As market awareness of the need for privileged access management grows, Osirium's subscription licensing model provides a flexible way for customers to secure their privileged accounts against internal and external threats.
The market for privileged account management (PAM) software was worth US$690m in 2015 and is forecast to grow to US$2.27bn by 2020 (source: Gartner), with demand driven by regulation, the shift to the cloud and adoption spreading to smaller organisations. The complexity of established solutions means fewer mid-market businesses use PAM software than enterprises, so this is a market ripe for development.

MAFS Recap: Nice To Marry You
January 28, 2021 by tamaratattles 23 Comments
I have a memory of telling you guys that there were a couple of bad apples on this season of MAFS. But there is no MAFS recap. Perhaps it was in an open forum, or more likely, and I know this is weird, sometimes I recap in my dreams. Anyway three couples have gotten married and there is one guy who should not even be allowed to go to the honeymoon suite and should never have been selected. And one female who was a very bad choice. Let's see how far I get with this tonight.
Paige and Chris
Poor Paige. I really hope she turns around and runs the other way down this aisle. Chris is not a good man. It was clear within minutes of meeting him onscreen. He's going to devastate this poor woman. He is already worrying about his bride being unattractive. That's because he is a very superficial person. Thankfully he seems pleased. His vows are all about God. It all sounded good, but this one worries me. They both have very similar vows including praying to God for each other. Maybe I am wrong. I hope I am. I just have a feeling about Chris.
Click Here For More MAFS Recaps
They talk about their tattoos, because…production. Chris has a brand new tattoo from two days ago. Last year he and his girlfriend got their names tattooed on each other. So he had to quickly get it covered up before getting married. Nope. I wasn't wrong. He's just trying to piss off his ex. She tries to change the subject and asks him if he likes dogs. He responded with "what kind of dogs?" Very bad answer. Then he says, "My ex had a dog." SEE? SEE HOW HE IS? Then he mentioned he was engaged. Wow. just wow.
Meeting The Family
Paige is already telling her bridesmaids that she has concerns. During the photos there was no connection. Paige asks about his broken engagement and he says they didn't trust each other. Then Chris blurts out, "Are you a virgin?" Then he asks, " Do you have a high sex drive?" He fasted and refrained from masturbation for three days before the wedding. He asks her if she on contraception. What is wrong with this one?
Later her dad basically tells her that after working a hard day, Chris is going to need sex at night, so plan on giving it up. Like Father, like son. RUN PAIGE RUN! Meanwhile, Chris is telling the bridesmaids that Paige is the opposite of what he is used to. He is used to the trophy wife girls who are super into their looks and fashion. Chris says she is the woman he needs but not maybe the one he wants. He tells the camera he isn't that attracted to her. She's beautiful in her own way.
Haley and Jacob
I feel pretty good about these two. Jacob wants a woman with a larger nose. That's so weird. Haley has a normal sized nose. lol. Jacob's family and friends screwed him with their introduction. Then he stumbles with his vows. But I think these two will be good once the nerves wear off. Jacob likes what he sees. He's very nervous and socially awkward. But it is kind of cute. Haley is not feeling it. She doesn't want to kiss during the photos. They are both very shy about their first dance. These two appear to be to total opposites. She's a free spirited traveler and he has never left the country. He has his own little resort home and rarely leaves it. This one could go either way.
Virginia and Erik are a problem couple Erik is older and a full grown man. He's a pilot and doesn't drink much. Virginia is the single white female version of Chris. She was drinking until she was puking in the bathroom at the bridal shower. She's going to have to straighten up and fly right so to speak in order for Erik to be into to her. She is going to break Eric's heart.
Briana and Vincent are off to a great start. So are Clara and Ryan. This looks like a very DRAMATIC season. Who's watching with me?

Blondiemelinda says
I'm watching! If was painful to watch Jacob and Haley, be is so socially awkward and can't hold a conversation. Chris–ugh. You are do right, the apple doesn't do far from the tree, his Dad was out of line in his comments to Paige. All that said, I can't wait! Vincent and Briana are my favorites so far.
FAV4 says
I'm watching too. I really feel sorry for Paige, I feel the same way Chris is not a good person.
Lucinda Meyer says
Oh lordy lordy! I'm going to get on my bash the experts soapbox here. What were they thinking putting Chris on? Who goes from practically marrying somebody, getting her name as a tattoo, to marrying someone you don't even know a few months later? Even if he said he was ready the "experts " should have known better. Now poor Paige is stuck with him AND HIS WEIRDO FAMILY! WTF??? They treated her like they were looking at a broodmare. Totally inappropriate comments about her body, all the baby remarks, it's like she joined a cult and they are preparing her to be a sex slave/baby maker for the cult leader.
I also didn't have a good feeling about Chris from the earlier shows. When I heard the vows I thought ok, maybe he's not so bad. But that lasted about 30 seconds. That conversation with the bridesmaids was HORRIBLE! She's the opposite of what he's used to, pretty women? She's not trophy wife? Well if he were richer he could have bought a trophy wife. He thinks he's all that and he most definitely is NOT. Asking how much make up she wears? Does he not see her face? This is as made up as she gets, it's her WEDDING, asshole! So I'm really furious with the "experts" for allowing this superficial, arrogant, sex crazed, loser AND his family to be inflicted on some sincere, lovely woman with good intentions.
Helen Keller could see this is a disaster waiting to happen. The "experts" should be ashamed of themselves. But I guess as long as they collect their paychecks they don't care. I wish I could say that to their faces. I'd like to hear their excuses.
Sorry for the rant. A lot of pent up frustration lately and I don't have any patience for people who choose to be assholes.
The experts should be replaced by her sweet brodesmaids. You could tell they wanted to say more but we're trying to stay optimistic and positive for their friends sake. It's like they pick one person to emotionally torture each season. A child could tell these 2 are not well matched!
I think Haley and Jacob are nice people but not a good match. This is another example of why do the " experts" put people together who don't have similar interests? With all the applicants for this show they can't put people together who have things in common? These two aren't like the quirky doctor and her husband from last season who had the same level of quirk which worked splendidly. He's weird and socially awkward with no personality and she's a normal person with interests, a sense of adventure, and a personality. She's a 7 and he's an old 5 at best. I think they're going to give it a shot but there's not enough to build on.
Virginia and Erik are the next reason I'm going to talk smack about the experts. He's a nice guy and a catch for the right woman. She's a teenager with a drinking problem. At the reception she had a drink in her hand the entire time, even when they were dancing! It's one thing to put people together who can bring strengths and qualities the other may be weak in. It's another to put an immature party girl with very bad taste (that eye make up! Did she think she was going to a rave?) with a mature man who wants a partner not a teenager to raise! The age difference, lifestyle difference, interest differences, exactly what did the "experts" think these two were going to build a relationship on? Even the fact that she constantly plays with her hair, laughs loudly and inappropriately all the time, is hanging all over him and kissing him like a drunk chick picking a dude up in a bar, it makes my skin crawl. And you can see Erik starting to think oh oh. Plus his mother thinking I told him so.
Another big miss on the part of the "experts ". In early seasons I believe the experts cared and were trying to make good matches. Now don't think the "experts " have much to do with it at all anymore. I think it's mainly production putting people together for maximum drama and nobody cares what happens to the sincere people.
krkmac says
The " eye makeup"…LOL! Now I wonder did she do it herself or was somebody paid for that?
Ms. Charlie says
COMMENT AND COMMENTER REMOVED FOR SPOILERS!
Trashbox says
This show was already filming when the fan favorite response to Barrett and Amelia hit. Hence, the producer driven bad matches. Disappointing.
We want to see GOOD matches!
There's enough drama and interesting stuff that happens when you strangers marry and all their families have to get to know and live with each other. They don't need to phony it up. That just ruins it and turns viewers off.
Barrett and Amelia were a PERFECT MATCH! Do we know if they are still together? BTW when I went to pull photos I had to dodge about a million posts about which of THIS SEASONs couples were still together. ARGH. No one needs to know that. I'd not bother watching the show if I knew.
That said, do we know if Barrett and Amelia made it?
Barbara R says
I checked on Instagram and there are photos and videos of Amelia and Bennett together in December and after a Polar Plunge. They seem very happy.

I have been into the MAFS franchise for a while now. Every new season is worse than the last one. I knew when they where interviewing the applicants prior to matching them that they would stick poor Paige with the creepy arrogant Chris. He likes her body enough to have sex with her but he will never love or be faithful to her. He looks like the type attracted to the exotic looking club thot type. I'm sure he was VERY clear with production on the kind of woman he is attracted to since it's so important to him. The fact that they paired him with a beautiful Nubian Queen who is accomplished, driven and spiritual is a total waste of her time! It also places her self esteem at risk and puts the burden on her to make a man out of this hornboy. I can't wait until the episode where he finally breaks her heart and her bridesmaids show up to mollywop him up and down the street. He's the type that will need a string of thots to drain his wallet until he is back living in his car before he gets a clue about life. UGH!
Right on! Completely agree!
Chris and his father had me ready to throw my remote at the TV. Chris for his clear colorism, all but saying Paige isn't trophy wife material to him because she doesn't have light skin, and his father for constantly looking at Paige like she was a piece of meat. That sex conversation was beyond cringe worthy, and I'm surprised his wife didn't stop him from looking at his son's new wife like he wanted her for himself.
No way this ends well, including that it sounds like Paige might just get pregnant! I truly hope she collects her belongings and her self esteem and leaves Chris.
gigi says
I'm watching this today and will report back but from what I've read….. another disaster but I love watching. Makes my marriage of 20+ years seem NORMAL and it has been far from that!!!!
kadie says
I'm watching. It's my guilty pleasure. Obviously, production makes sure some couples are matched for optimal drama. But do the couples know this? It doesn't seem like it because in their talking heads most seem to take the experiment seriously and hope that a "love connection" may be made. Certainly Paige says and does things that show she thinks it's a serious marriage. Even after hearing Pastor Cal (is that his name?) say in previous seasons that the couple should be on birth control during this trial period, Paige appears to be having unprotected sex daily with a man her gut told her was waving red flags. Even her husband's mom's advice to her was to put off having kids until they got to know each other. Eric and Virginia don't seem compatible.There's the age difference, her drinking problem, lack of common interests. Like others have said, Virginia had a drink in her hand the entire time. Only a person with an alcohol problem would still be standing at the end of a night drinking that much. Even if she was drinking due to nerves, one would hope she would try to put her best foot forward and not over imbibe. Eric was only happy on the wedding day because he was physically attracted to Virginia and little else. I think the experts did Eric a disservice pairing him with a party girl. I'm not sure any of them will fall in love, but time will tell.
How are these shows filming with so many participants unmasked and hugging and kissing each other? Can I assume they do so because they have had negative Covid 19 tests prior to filming the various scenes? One can still test negative one day and be positive several days later. They should put a disclaimer on the screen. People watching get the wrong idea that it's fine to have weddings and social get togethers without wearing masks. Sigh.
But Kadie, as Chris randomly announced at the at his reception, to the full bridal party, HE HAS AN EXCELLENT PULLOUT GAME! How in the world could Paige be pregnant???
This feels so staged and produced. I suppose it could just be that when this episode was in final edit, they already knew that Paige was pregnant or at least concerned that she was and went back in and found all the warning signs. Otherwise it is just too bizarre even for this show. Now Paige is going to be stuck with a baby with this fool for life.
And I too had a moment during the vows were I thought perhaps I had him pegged wrong for a minute.
Well if Paige is pregnant she has herself partly to blame. What fool would not use birth control especially with someone like Chris? At first I thought Paige was a smart young woman. Not so much now.
DaniDLion says
I got the impression that some other woman from his life was pregnant, not Paige. I also got the sense that he knew about it before he got married, and didn't disclose it to the experts. He sure thinks he's all that, I find him so gross
DaisyDana says
That's the impression I got from the previews as well. Like possibly Paige thinks she could be pregnant… but then the ex girlfriend is. Or she comes back into the picture at least.
Oh my God..Chris is the worst! What an ass! The things he said to her bridesmaids.. They were so sweet talking to Paige after he spoke to them. Virginia has a drinking problem even in bed at the end she was drinking. These two couples will never make it. Usually the couples seem well aligned at the beginning of the season.. But these couples will never make it!
Lawd…where to start…CHRIS should not be on the show. Even if he fooled the 'experts' during interviews, once the cameras started rolling they had a responsibility to Paige and her heart. That man is a walking manchild ready to screw her (literally) and roll out….like the tall basketball dude a couple seasons back.? She does not deserve that humiliation. And his father and pastor are playas. Idiots. Immature. NOT GODLY. PeriodT. Chris is ugly. He need not worry about that queen's looks while he's a superficial Morris Day/Soul Sheen wannabe.
That party girl made ME nauseous with that drinking. Hope it was just nervous TV wedding to a stranger jitters…but unfortunately I doubt it.?
Hopefully by next week I'll have the names straight.
I can't wait until MAFS Australia returns!!!


Boston Terrier price range. How much does a Boston Terrier cost?
The Boston Terrier is a small dog breed native to the United States. It is a crossbreed between an English Bulldog and an English White Terrier. Adaptable, easy to raise and teach, the Boston Terrier requires little training or care. On average, the Boston Terrier price is around $700 per puppy, and the cost of raising one is about $500 to $800 a year.
If your intention is not to professionally breed, but to own a Boston Terrier for your passion, then a pet-only Boston Terrier is your best fit.


It's probably quite a personal question- each person may have a set of different answers. But one thing is for sure: if you want your business to make a good lasting impression, you must guide your employees with care, for they will carry your company in future.
Having an employee of the month is a classic example of a good incentive, but a lot of companies seem to be doing it wrong. Doing employee of the month as an incentive doesn't count if the winner's only prize is having their picture up on a board for a few weeks. It's important to really reward your employees for their good work. Ever thought about doing an employee of the year? Make the prize worthwhile and your employees will be impressing you left, right and centre.
Have you ever heard of continual professional development? It refers to the process of tracking and documenting the skills, knowledge and experience that employees gain through formal and informal instruction, that goes beyond any initial training. It's a record of what they experience, learn and then apply. You can help your employees grow by enrolling them in a management skill set course, such as PSP Athlete.
Sometimes what happens, especially in bigger staff groups, is that people are associated with their job title only. This is not good for stress levels, or teamwork.
So- start hosting family functions, even if it's just once a year. Another good idea is a bring your kids to work day. Anything family-orientated will humanise the way colleagues see each other, and add peace to the workplace.
An extra break a day keeps the doctor away. Giving your employees a bit of freedom and flexibility can go a long way! Consider implementing flexi hours wherever possible to give your employees a break from boring routine and to give them a few hours to attend important appointments. Another way to keep them in good health is to provide them with a good medical aid plan.


Kimball O Hara grows up an orphan in the walled city of Lahore, India. Deeply devoted to an old Tibetan lama but involved in a secret mission for the British, Kim struggles to weave the strands of his life into a single pattern. Kim and the holy man roam about India. Kim's intimate knowledge of India makes him a valuable asset to the English Secret Service, in which he wins renown while still a boy. Charged with action and suspense, yet profoundly spiritual, Kim vividly expresses the sounds and smells, colors and characters, opulence and squalor of complex, contradictory India under British rule. The book abounds in brilliant descriptions of Indian scenes and deeply sympathetic portraits of her people. Long recognized as Kipling's finest work, Kim was a key factor in his winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907. Kipling's classic novel is presented here with the original biographical essay Who was Rudyard Kipling? - An Appreciation.


Cape Breton University Nursing Graduates 2017- We Did It!
Nadine contacted me in a little bit of a panic stating that the photographer they had booked to do their CBU Nursing Grad photos couldn't make it and asked if I could fill in. Luckily I was available so we planned to have the session at CBU. Once I met these three sweet ladies, I knew we were going to have a fun time as they were up for anything. I dragged them around the university to find the best available light for photos and they didn't complain once.
I have to say how much I admire Nadine, Michelle and Lenore. They are all mature students with older children who went back to school to really better themselves. It would be easy at that point in your life to give up on your dreams and settle for what you have. Not these three firecrackers. They dedicated themselves and worked extremely hard with family supporting them every step of the way. So congratulations girls on your determination and strength and best of luck to you in your new careers.

Armour and Riesener Installations
New Installations Within An Existing Collection
Exhibition Design, Graphic Design
We have worked at the Wallace Collection on two new installations to showcase highlights from the Collection – an exceptionally rare full set of medieval armour, one of only three in the world, and the works of Jean-Henri Riesener, France's most important cabinetmaker during the reign of Louis XVI.
Until the nineteenth century, the fifteenth-century equestrian armour was preserved in the ancestral home of the Freyberg family at Schloss Hohenaschau in Bavaria. Around 1850 the contents of this formidable mountain fortress were sold at auction, and the armour was acquired in 1867 by the Comte de Nieuwerkerke, who displayed it in his apartment at the Louvre in Paris. In 1871 the armour was sold to Sir Richard Wallace, along with the rest of the Nieuwerkerke collection. Now, for the first time in over 100 years, the armour will be redisplayed for a limited time at the centre of the building's courtyard café, beneath the glass-roofed central atrium.
In a second, concurrent collaboration, to celebrate the life and work of French cabinetmaker Jean-Henri Riesener, exhibiting Riesener's furniture in East Gallery I, East Gallery II and the Great Gallery as part of The Riesener Season. The furniture is displayed on a series of high-gloss black plinths with timber-finish sides that give a contemporary, reflecting edge to the works, positioned down the centre of the rooms, both as a way to spotlight the pieces from every angle and to provide social distance and subtle circulation guidance during the pandemic.
Jean-Henri Riesener (1734-1806) was the most important cabinetmaker in France during Louis XVI's reign. From humble beginnings as a German emigrant, he found work in Paris and went on to become the most successful cabinetmaker of his generation. His work was renowned for its floral and figurative marquetry and spectacular gilt-bronze mounts and he was appointed cabinetmaker to Louis XVI in 1774. He was Marie-Antoinette's favourite cabinetmaker, providing furniture for her private apartments in several royal palaces. In the nineteenth century, his name became synonymous with craftsmanship and luxury, and all that was admired in French furniture. The Riesener furniture in the Wallace Collection is some of the most important in the world. It is also the single largest holding of furniture that once belonged to Marie-Antoinette outside France.

Q: Can the automatic db schema update process inside camunda spring boot starter still be used if updating a schema with liquibase is required? We have a spring web app which uses camunda spring boot starter (version 7.18).
We want to leverage the automatic db schema updates from camunda and have our own schema updates via liquibase.
Judging from the official documentation camunda is using liquibase internally as well. So we are unsure on how to achieve the goal of having automatic schema updates from camunda (say when we upgrage 7.18 -> 7.19) and at the same time cover any of the schema updates we would like to track in liquibase as well.

A: Camunda does not perform automatic schema upgrades when you switch versions. (Only automatic schema creation, which is supposed to be disabled when working with Liquibase according to docs). For schema upgrades you chose either the

*

*manual path (follow patch level documentation and apply patch manually if one exists; see https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.18/installation/database-schema/#manual-update and https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.18/installation/database-schema/#manual-patch-level-update)

*or you choose to handle updates via Liquibase (https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.18/installation/database-schema/#liquibase-update and https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.18/installation/database-schema/#liquibase-patch-level-update).

(It looks like there have been no recent schema upgrades between patch levels for 2 years: https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.18/installation/database-schema/#patch-level-update)

Loading docks are the gateway to getting all products and goods to all places worldwide.The one common thread to all business' that have stock in warehouses is that they all have to be picked up and delivered smoothly. Having a proper loading dock is crucial to making your shipping and receiving department run properly. Many warehouse facilities stay active with so many shipments that sometimes the dock itself takes a good amount of wear and tear. The time it can take away from properly loading and unloading of freight for your company can mean lost time and money for your company. Here are some things you need to make sure are correct on your loading dock.
The loading dock itself is of pretty simple construction. The main parts to any dock are the driveway, the pit wall, the loading dock floor,bumpers, the ramp and the lip of the ramp. The driveway leads to the pit wall where the trailer is backed into. The bumpers are what protects the trailer from hitting the concrete wall as it backs down this driveway. These loading dock bumpers, usually comprised of a recycled rubber of some sort, are the only line of defense between truck and the concrete pit wall.
Contact Axis Garage Door repair services today!
Axis Garage Doors knows that these loading dock bumpers can get worn out over time and usage. Repair and replacement of these bumpers is big part of making your loading dock function properly and last longer. With different sizes and variety of materials Axis will make sure that your bumpers are a perfect fit for your sized operation.
The other main component to any properly functioning loading dock is the the leveler. The loading dock leveler is comprised of three main parts. The deck, which is the main plate of the leveler, the Lip, generally thinner strip of deck and on a hinge, and an activation system to raise and lower the level of the deck. This allows whatever type of unloading equipment or personnel to transition from the concrete warehouse floor to the inside of the trailer. Most major shipping and receiving loading docks use forklifts or pallet jacks to move shipments around the warehouse, so having a sturdy functioning loading dock leveler is key to maintaining a safe productive work environment.
Axis garage door repair is experienced in replacement and repair of all the parts necessary to maintain a proper functioning shipping and receiving department. The loading dock leveler and bumpers are the some of the hardest working parts in your warehouse.These parts make your company thrive and require the proper attention to keep things running smoothly.
and get your loading dock working to its top potential!


Let's be honest. A phone agent's day consists of monotonous work. In many cases, call centre workers take more than a hundred calls a day. The job requires a lot of patience and dedication to providing stellar customer service for hours on end. In order for your phone agents to make your customers happy, you must take steps to making your phone agents happy.
1. Throw parties. No, seriously!
You know that monotony we just spoke of? What could be a better way to break it up than to have special events at your place of business strictly for the purpose of making your company a much more exciting place to work? Your parties don't have to last all day long, of course. Perhaps, you could host special lunches every other week or have a monthly after-work get together at a local pub or restaurant. Making it exciting to work for you can pay dividends.
2. Allow your agents to build personalized customer bases.
Most consumers appreciate familiarity. They enjoy having the ability to call up a business to speak to the same person they spoke to the last time they called. That way, customers aren't forced to "start from scratch", repeating the same old information they provided before. Giving your call centre employees the freedom to make direct connections with your clients vastly improves customer satisfaction. Naturally, it improves employee satisfaction as well.
Providing feedback has multiple benefits. First, it opens the lines of communication between you and your team members, making it easier for them to approach you with any concerns. This is integral for a positive work environment. Secondly, it strengthens the performances of your agents when they are regularly given helpful tips and advice. Thirdly, it will give you greater insight into what your employees need in order to perform at their best.
At MeloTel, we proudly offer the ultimate feedback tool!
With our Monitor/Whisper Control Panel, you can "monitor" phone calls live while staying undetected. You also have the ability to drop in to the calls to "whisper" suggestions that will help your phone agents. For more information, please don't hesitate to contact us at 1-888-MELOTEL or use the Live Chat feature on our website!


The speed of moving walkways are limited by the maximum safe boarding and exit speed. Otherwise, they would cause a complete pile up.
Unlike escalators, most moving walkways use a rubberised track. This means the track transition can be very abrupt.
For very long distance transport, I propose a series of 3 tracks (slow, fast, slow) that have a slow boarding section, that feeds a faster track that feeds a slower exit track. The slower track would be long enough to allow passengers to safely spread out and transition to the stationary section.
At the interface of each track would be a flat steel plate 6 inches wide with small rollers on top. The hand rail would have a wider gap that would provide additional warning of the transition.
This could also be done with one, elastic track. Made with steel ribbing like escalator steps, but with a deeper interface, the sections would slide farther apart as they accelerate and then come closer as they slow down towards the end.
The three tracks are end-to-end-to-end, right, not parallel? I was confused when reading this at first but maybe thats just me.
If they are running parallel, I think Bradbury baked this in one of his robot series books.
"The Roads must Roll" wasn't this here before?
See link - implemented in Paris. It uses tiny rollers to speed you up and slow you down. To my mind it doesn't go fast enough. Presumably though, you could have more than one acceleration/deceleration zone.
Zimmy, I think "The Roads Must Roll" was the first fictional use of multi-speed walkways, but they were parallel - you step onto the slow track, then move over to faster ones as desired. Sounds practical, except for the lack of handrails. But I don't think Heinlein ever mentioned what happens if you stay on the fast track till the end - presumably you don't just hit a brick wall - so the serial speed-up/slow-down sections seem like a useful thing even in a parallel system.
A pair merry-go-rounds could work as the speed up and slow down area with a stationary staircase or walless elevator at the center of each Go-round.
The outside of the wheel traveling as fast as the walkway. The inner part not moving at all. Would allow persons with walkers, many kids or shopping carts to use the walkway safely.
Getting off:A padded wall/guide could get folks out of the way those following.
Getting on: If you don't manage to get on your first attempt, just go round again.
In 2004 I learned that side by side lanes allowed enormous speeds to be achieved, somewhere in the world (I don't remember where) but that somebody falling, breaking bones and suing stopped that from becoming widespread.
