Many actors have been considered for the part of The Doctor in the British science fiction television show Doctor Who. The casting announcement is a significant event for fans of the show, and is speculated on by news media. The following is a list of actors who have been considered for the role.

First Doctor
Geoffrey Bayldon declined the role of the Doctor because it was scheduled for 52 weeks and required him to play an old man. He told his agent, "Tell them: Too long, too old". He later played an alternative version of the Doctor in two plays for the Doctor Who Unbound series of audio plays by Big Finish Productions: Auld Mortality (2003) and A Storm of Angels (2005). In addition, he played Organon in the Fourth Doctor serial The Creature from the Pit (1979).

Hugh David was the choice of Rex Tucker, who was the series' "caretaker producer" before the arrival of Verity Lambert. Lambert rejected this idea on the grounds that at 38, Hugh was too young. David later became a director and, in that capacity, worked on the Second Doctor serials The Highlanders (1966–7) and Fury from the Deep.

Alan Webb was then offered the role but declined, as did Cyril Cusack.

Leslie French was considered for the role. He later appeared in the Seventh Doctor serial Silver Nemesis (1988) as Lady Peinforte's mathematician.

The role of the First Doctor went to William Hartnell.

Second Doctor
Brian Blessed was offered the role, but declined because of scheduling conflicts; he later played King Yrcanos in the Sixth Doctor serial The Trial of a Time Lord. Rupert Davies, Valentine Dyall and Sir Michael Hordern were all approached for the role but none wanted to commit to a long-running series. Dyall later played the Black Guardian in the television stories The Armageddon Factor (1979), Mawdryn Undead (1983), Terminus (1983) and Enlightenment (1983) and Slarn in the audio drama Slipback (1985). Peter Cushing was also offered the role, but declined and later regretted his decision. He appeared in the big-screen versions of Doctor Who in Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965) and Daleks – Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D. (1966).

The role of the Second Doctor went to Patrick Troughton.

Third Doctor
Ron Moody was said to be the producers' first choice after his success in Oliver! but he turned down the role, which he later regretted.

The role of the Third Doctor went to the producers' second choice, Jon Pertwee.

Fourth Doctor
Graham Crowden, who played Soldeed in The Horns of Nimon (1979–1980), turned down the role as he would only commit to one year instead of the three years asked by producer Barry Letts, while Michael Bentine turned down the role when the production team felt he wanted too much influence over the series' scripts. Other actors considered included Bernard Cribbins, who played Wilfred Mott in the Revived Series, and Fulton Mackay, who had previously played Dr. Quinn in Doctor Who and the Silurians (1970).
Richard Hearne was offered the role but his insistence that he play the part in the style of his 'Mr Pastry' character was not acceptable to the series' producer, Barry Letts. Also considered was Carry On actor Jim Dale.

The role of the Fourth Doctor went to Tom Baker.

Fifth Doctor
Richard Griffiths was considered by producers for the role when Tom Baker left.

The role of the Fifth Doctor went to Peter Davison.

Sixth Doctor
The role of the Sixth Doctor was offered to Colin Baker without an audition. No auditions were held for the role, as Baker was the first choice.

Sylvester McCoy did express interest.

Seventh Doctor
In 1986, the then Controller of BBC One, Michael Grade, unhappy with the current state of Doctor Who, wrote to Sydney Newman to enquire whether he had any ideas for reformatting the series. On 6 October 1986, Newman wrote back to Grade with a suggestion that Patrick Troughton should return to the role of the Doctor for a season, and then regenerate into a female, with Newman suggesting either Joanna Lumley, Dawn French or Frances de la Tour to succeed Troughton. Grade then suggested that Newman meet the current Head of Drama, Jonathan Powell, for lunch to discuss the ideas. Newman and Powell did not get on well, however, and nothing came of their meeting.

The final three actors considered for the role were Sylvester McCoy, Ken Campbell and Chris Jury. While Campbell's portrayal was considered too dark for the series, Jury was remembered by the production team and cast as Kingpin in 1988's The Greatest Show in the Galaxy, though many years later he disclosed that he had never known that he had been on the shortlist for the role.

McCoy's audition process included a read-through in costume of a sample scene, playing against Janet Fielding. The actors Dermot Crowley and David Fielder also auditioned for the role in the same manner. Andrew Sachs was offered the role of the Seventh Doctor but he turned it down later regretted it saying "it was one of his sad tales of failure in life" and hoped the offer came around again

The role of the Seventh Doctor went to Sylvester McCoy.

Eighth Doctor
Had the show continued past 1989, the producers were again considering Richard Griffiths for the role of the Eighth Doctor.

In the early 1990s, the BBC approached Verity Lambert to revive the show. Lambert wanted Peter Cook to play the new Doctor at the time, but he eventually declined involvement.

Actors who auditioned for the role in the 1996 film included Michael Crawford, Rowan Atkinson (who played a spoof version of the Doctor in Curse of Fatal Death), Liam Cunningham (who appeared in the 2013 Doctor Who episode "Cold War"), Mark McGann (whose brother Paul McGann eventually got the role), Trevor Eve, Michael Palin, Robert Lindsay, Eric Idle, Tim McInnerny (who appeared in the 2008 Doctor Who episode "Planet of the Ood"), Nathaniel Parker, Peter Woodward, John Sessions (who later played Tannis in the audio drama Death Comes to Time, and voiced Gus in the 2014 Doctor Who episode Mummy on the Orient Express), Anthony Head (who appeared in the 2006 Doctor Who episode "School Reunion", narrated episodes of the Doctor Who Confidential behind-the-scenes series, and provided voice-acting work for both the televised The Infinite Quest and the Excelis story arc from Big Finish Productions), Rik Mayall, and Tony Slattery. Billy Connolly has stated that he was also considered for the part. Peter Capaldi was invited to audition, but declined, as he "didn't think [he] would get it, and... didn't want to just be part of a big cull of actors." Capaldi was eventually cast as the Twelfth Doctor. Harry Van Gorkum was cast as the role for the Eighth Doctor but the BBC, unlike Fox and Universal did not find him a fitting choice.
Roger Rees was approached and showed interest.

The role of the Eighth Doctor went to Paul McGann.

Ninth Doctor
In 2003, Bill Baggs was set to make a 40th-anniversary special for BBC South with Alan Cumming as the Doctor. Baggs had directed numerous unofficial Doctor Who-related productions since the show's cancellation, including The Airzone Solution, which featured Cumming in another role. The special was cancelled when the BBC instead commissioned Russell T Davies to revive the series.

Hugh Grant (who also played an incarnation of the Doctor in Curse of Fatal Death) has stated that he turned down the role and expressed his regret once he saw how the show turned out. According to Russell T Davies, Martin Clunes (whose television debut had been in the serial "Snakedance" in 1983) was considered at an early stage of development.

Producer Jane Tranter also considered casting Judi Dench as the Ninth Doctor.

The role of the Ninth Doctor went to Christopher Eccleston.

Tenth Doctor
When Christopher Eccleston was leaving the show after one season, A BBC article talked of actors David Tennant, David Thewlis, Richard E. Grant (Who appeared in the show in 2012 and 2013 as the Great Intelligence), Bill Nighy and Alan Davies.

The role of the Tenth Doctor went to David Tennant.

Eleventh Doctor
Russell Tovey auditioned and screen-tested for the part of the Doctor, having been recommended to Steven Moffat's new production team by outgoing showrunner Russell T Davies. Moffat briefly considered casting Peter Capaldi. On November 27, 2008, an Australian Newspaper reported a story hinting that Dutch/Australian actor David Knijnenburg was under consideration for the part. Despite the highly speculative nature of the report, it was neither confirmed nor denied by the BBC or the actor himself and the story was picked up by other sources. Comparatively unknown outside Australia, his appointment seemed unlikely although he was favourably recommended by previous Doctor Sylvester McCoy. The role was reportedly offered to Chiwetel Ejiofor, who turned it down.

The role of the Eleventh Doctor went to Matt Smith.

Twelfth Doctor
Ben Daniels revealed to Digital Spy that he had been included on a shortlist of actors in the running for the role, but was not the production team's first choice.

The role of the Twelfth Doctor went to Peter Capaldi.

Thirteenth Doctor
When referring to if the new Doctor would be a woman, incoming Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall originally was quoted in February 2017, as saying "Nothing is ruled out but I don't want the casting to be a gimmick and that's all I can say". The role of the Thirteenth Doctor went to Jodie Whittaker, the first woman to play the Doctor in the television series. She had previously worked with Chibnall in Broadchurch. Chibnall said that he always wanted a woman for the part and that Whittaker was their first choice. Whittaker has said that other actresses auditioned for the part.

Radio plays
Boris Karloff was approached to play the Doctor for a proposed radio series by Stanmark Productions in the late 1960s. Karloff declined, and Peter Cushing was hired to reprise his film version of "Dr. Who" for a pilot episode titled "Journey into Time" that was recorded, but the BBC passed on the series. As of 2014, the location of the recording is unknown.

Unspecified
In 2013, Bill Nighy said that the BBC had approached him about the possibility of him playing the Doctor, but that he had declined, feeling that the role came with "too much baggage". Nighy did not specify when this occurred out of respect to the actor who was eventually cast. Nighy had appeared in the role of Dr. Black in the 2010 Doctor Who episode "Vincent and the Doctor".

In 2017, Alan Cumming said that he had been approached about playing the character on two occasions, once by Russell T Davies and once by Mark Gatiss, but that the deal-breaker both times had been his reluctance to relocate to Cardiff. Cumming later appeared in the 2018 Doctor Who episode "The Witchfinders" portraying King James I.

In 2022, Ben Miller stated on The One Show that he was asked if he would be interested in being Doctor Who "a few years" ago. He had said he was interested, but "never heard anything else ever again". Miller appeared as the Sheriff of Nottingham in the 2014 Doctor Who episode "Robot of Sherwood".

Alexei Sayle once wrote an article expressing he should be cast as The Doctor.

Internal Affairs has slashed up to $5 million off public sector mobile phone bills after renegotiating government-wide contracts with Telecom and Vodafone.
More than 200 agencies – including Internal Affairs, local authorities and Crown-owned firms – use the contracts, which allow them to buy mobile services at pre-negotiated rates without having to go to tender.
Agencies can save about 11.5 per cent a year under the new Telecom contract and about 20 per cent a year under the Vodafone contract – which will equate to between $2m and $5m a year.
The new deals include sinking price caps, so pricing will not be adjusted upward if the number of connections under a contract is reduced, and will see increased reporting and monitoring of the contracts.
Telecom has agreed to "very aggressive" pricing for low to medium data usage and included a new BlackBerry plan that does away with the need for licences.
This will save $180 per BlackBerry connection.
Vodafone has meanwhile reduced pricing for handsets and BlackBerry connections.
Stephen Crombie, head of Internal Affairs' Government Technology Services unit, says the price cuts were negotiated under its normal contract review process and it will re-tender for public sector-wide mobile services next year. The contracts tend to be used by smaller agencies as larger agencies have more specific requirements for mobile services.
Mobile usage is on the rise, but agencies' bills will still be lower under the new terms, he says. "Government will be looking for increasing value for mobile services because voice is moving to mobile. We'll be looking for savings and better value."
Jamie Macdonald, chief operating officer of mobile consultancy Mobile Mentor, says mobile data usage in particular is experiencing huge growth and large organisations are pushing for savings from their suppliers.
Mobile users are adopting smartphones – which are becoming vital for productivity. "They're more a laptop in the palm of your hand and the average smartphone has more capability than a laptop that is three to five years old."

The H-Man, known in Japan as Beauty and Liquid Men (美女と液体人間 Bijo to Ekitainingen?), is a tokusatsu film produced and released by Toho Studios in 1958. The film was made by Toho's legendary Godzilla directing/special effects/producing team of Ishirō Honda, Eiji Tsuburaya, and Tomoyuki Tanaka.
This, like such films as The Human Vapor, and Matango, was one of Honda and Tsuburaya's forays into science fiction without kaiju or giant monsters. Instead, the story focuses on mobsters, nightclub singers, and radioactive liquid creatures that live in Tokyo's sewers, which are the results of a nuclear explosion.
Following a routine nuclear experiment, the ship Ryujin Maru II disappeared while in the South Pacific (may have been inspired by the incident with the Daigo Fukuryu Maru, in connection with the Castle Bravo H-bomb test). Days layer, another ship, bound for Izu, stumbles upon the craft adrift at sea. Six members of the crew decide to board the ship to see why there is no one on deck. To their surprise, they find no one on board at all, only piles of disheveled clothes. In the captain's room, they find an unfinished log, and begin to suspect that the crew must have been killed somehow. While leaving the captain's room, Dai, one of the crew members who boarded the ship, is killed by a mysterious blue liquid that climbs up his leg and melts his body, leaving only his clothes behind.
After killing Dai, the liquid takes the shape of a man and is joined by another one from the window. The monsters rush at one of the terrified men and quickly claim another victim. Next, Sou is killed on the dock while trying to escape. Only two of the original six make it off the ship alive, and they spot Liquid People (H-Men) walking around the deck as they disembark away from the ship.
Much later, in the outskirts of Tokyo, a drug smuggler by the name of Misaki is mysteriously killed while trying to get away, leaving only his clothes behind. The police investigate by going to his apartment, only to find his girlfriend, Arai Chikako, who says he hasn't returned for five days. Arai works at the cabaret, so the police decide to go there for further investigation. After her performance, the police go back to Arai's room and find a man backstage with her.
After finding a note to Arai in his pocket, they bring him in as a suspect. He is identified as Masada, an assistant professor at Jyoto University. Masada explains that he wanted to talk to Arai about Misaki, and explains his theory that Misaki's disappearance is the result of his physical form melting away, possibly from an extreme amount of radiation in the rain that night. The police don't buy a word, and set up patrols at Misaki's apartment where Arai is living.
That night, a man by the name of Nishiyama sneaks into the apartment and threatens Arai, asking her where Misaki is; however, he gets no answer as Arai explains that she simply doesn't know. After thinking it over Nishiyama states that he will spare her life for tonight, and leaves out the window. Not long after, Arai hears gunshots that are followed by a scream. Arai then opens the door to the apartment and faints in the hall. The police go the room to investigate, and look out the window only to see clothes and a gun lying out on the street.
In the morning, the police take Arai in for questioning, but get no new information from her. Masada arrives at the police station to try and prove his theory to them once more, this time he invites them to go back to the hospital with him where he announces that he has collected witnesses that will prove his theory. Once there, the witnesses tell their story of the six members of their ship that boarded the ship, and how four of the men lost their lives that night. Masada next shows him the effect of the Ash of Death, the type of nuclear explosion that the Ryujin Maru II was exposed to, on a bullfrog.
The bullfrog melts almost immediately, all of its cells are transformed into a liquid. The police still don't buy that the Misaki disappearance is related to this, though. The police decide to question Arai again, this time showing her a group of pictures, asking her to identify who came into the apartment the night before. She points out Nishiyama out of the pictures, a member of the Hanada gang.
Meanwhile, Masada finds a lifesaver on the docks that belongs to the Ryujin Maru II, and he starts to suspect that the liquid might have attached itself to it and traveled to Tokyo. Masada takes the lifesaver back to the University, where he and his colleagues find out that the lifesaver is indeed radioactive. Arai then visits the institute to find Masada and tells him about the murders, and how a liquid killed the victims. Professor Maki is intrigued by the girl's story, and asks that Masada goes to the police station and tell them their findings. Masada complies, but is still laughed at down at the station. The police become notably annoyed with his persistence in pursuing this theory, and, to stay in their favor, Masada divulges that he believes that a waiter at the cabaret may be in on the drug smuggling.
That night, the police visit the cabaret again, disguised as customers. They watch, and mark down, which tables the waiter stops at for long periods of time. Every time someone from one of these marked tables starts to leave, they arrest them as a suspect. Eventually the guests of the club begin to catch on, and one of them fires his gun right before they cuff him. The waiter hears this and warns Uchida, an intricate figure in the drug smuggling ring, and they retreat to one of the dancer's rooms. Once inside, they try and escape through the window, but are cut off by an H-Man. The waiter, along with one of the dancers is killed. The H-Man next tries to get Arai, but is distracted by one of the policemen, who starts firing at it. The H-Man liquefies the officer, and then escapes through the window. During the commotion, Uchida takes off his clothes to fake his death, and escapes.
The police now accept Masada's theory about the Ash of Death. It's also confirmed that the liquid got to Tokyo by attaching itself to the lifesaver. Maki explains to the authorities that the only way to kill the creatures is by electrocution or incineration. Then Masada, after studying Uchida's clothes, explains to the police that they weren't radioactive, meaning he must have escaped. Shortly after this discovery, Arai is kidnapped by Uchida.
Meanwhile, the authorities plan to use their high voltage discharge unit to stop the H-men's infiltration upstream. Next they plan to evacuate and fill the surrounding bodies of water with gasoline, to incinerate the ones already in the city.
Before the authorities can put this plan into operation, Uchida leads Arai into the sewers to retrieve the stash of drugs that the waiter had been hiding down there. In the meantime, Masada finds a piece of Arai's clothing floating in the water near one of the sewage valves, and rushes in the sewers looking for her. The police catch wind of Masada's actions and ask permission to go down with one of the teams preparing the "gasoline operation." A rescue team is then prepared, and goes in after them. Uchida is killed shortly after by one of the liquid people, and Arai begins to flee. Masada finds her, and manages to help her get away as the rescue team discovers them both, with the H-men in hot pursuit. The water is then ignited, burning alive all of the monsters and putting an end to their reign of terror.

Thandi Modise's animal cruelty case to continue
It is believed that a former worker at National Assembly Speaker Thandi Modise's farm is set to take the stand in the animal cruelty case
by Thabo Baloyi
House Speaker Thandi Modise - Photo: GCIS / Flickr
National Assembly Speaker Thandi Modise is expected back in the Potchefstroom Regional Court on Wednesday, where her animal cruelty case is set to continue.
The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NSPCA) filed charges against Modise after it found scores of dead animals on her North West farm back in 2014. The organisation has roped in Afriforum to pursue a private prosecution against the speaker.
She has pleaded not guilty to six charges of animal cruelty. Modise is accused of neglecting her property and causing 79 animals, most of them pigs to die due to lack of water and food. The SPCA said it had managed to rescue several dozen of the animals but was forced to put down more than 224 animals.
"We've looked at the matter ourselves in this instance and we felt that there is a strong case to be heard, there's prima facie evidence which should allow for a prosecution to play itself out in the court and based on that we've taken steps to have the prosecution proceed," Afriforum is quoted as having said.
The case first got underway on Tuesday, where two witnesses from the NSPCA Andrew Serame and Grace de Lange took the stand.
De Lange testified that this was one of the worst cases of animal cruelty she had encountered in her nearly 20-year career. She told the court that she saw pigs drinking their own and each other's urine because there was no water or food.
Afriforum: Modise's case not politically motivated
The lobby group's Andrew Leask has told eNCA that they were confident they had a solid case against Modise and that it was now left in the hands of the court, to administer justice.
"We are going to present the evidence to the court, ventilate all the evidence there and allow the court to make a decision and we are confident of our case," he said.
Leask also dismissed claims made by Modise's supporters that the case against her was politically-motivated, saying in part:
"The converse could also be applicable, why prosecution never took place. We were tasked by the NSPCA to get involved and look at the matter because there was not a prosecution and it appears that there not being a prosecution was because it is Thandi Modise, but our job is to look at the evidence, present the case and we'll do so"

Those big online mattress companies are trying to catch you sleeping - and not in a good way!
They say they've cut out the middle man and all that, but in the meantime they're spending all that "saved" money on advertising - instead of putting it into your mattress!
We're not some giant corporation. Our overhead is low, so we put it all into quality materials so you get a bed WAY under what others charge you.
We've got your back! A good mattress should last you 10 years. It's always a good idea to replace yours every 8 or so. Especially as you get older.
Via UPS Delivered right to your door in a few days. All you need to do is open the box and set it up. And you're on your way to a good night's sleep.
Try your bed for 100 nights. It sometimes takes a couple weeks to get used to a new bed. But after a longer time, if it's not working for you, we'll refund your $.
A Big, Beautiful Bed. A Small, Beautiful Price.
Don't let the online mattress companies fool you into paying way too much for a great mattress!
Starting at $349! Free Shipping!
The other online mattress companies send your mattress in a fancy box. Guess who's paying for that? And a bunch of brochures to tell you stuff that you could just read on our website? Get real.
We cut out all that stuff AROUND the mattress so we could put better stuff IN the mattress! Stuff like CertiPUR fabrics, an Avena™ comfort layer, gel-infused memory foam, natural fabrics. And all of it made proudly right here in the US of A.
And our plain brown box? Maybe the kids can build a fort with it or something.
Click on the + to Get them!
Are the materials 100% USA made?
Short answer: YES! Along with being made right here - actually in Madison, Wisconsin - every bit of our mattress is American-made. From the 2 layers of transition and base foam to the memory foam to the Avena comfort layer and the cover. Every part is Certi-PUR® certified. Even the glue that holds the layers together is water-based and made in the US of A!
What happens when we order?
Once you put an order in, the factory gets to work. Each mattress is handmade to order and will ship within 3 business days. We'll send you the UPS tracking # so you can see when it will arrive. Once you get it, just take the box into the bedroom, take it out of the box, and open it up on top of the bed.
Once you cut the wrapping off the mattress, it will start to expand back to its original size. Give it a couple hours and it will be back to full size and ready for a great sleep!
In a word? Great! Like, really great! After we tried a bunch of different configurations we fell in love with this one. And we've been sleeping soundly on our own in our own homes ever since.
One of the things that is great about the mattress is that there is very little what they call "motion transfer". That's when the bed shakes when someone next to you moves around. This one just doesn't. We haven't put a glass of wine on it and jumped up and down like those old commercials, but we're guessing we wouldn't cause a mess if we did.

People Break Down The Best Examples Of A Victimless Crime
August 19 | 2021

All crime is bad. At least that is what they want you to believe. Some crime really shouldn't be considered "crime." Don't you think?
Maybe some crimes could just be labeled a big "no-no." And why would you send someone to jail for a no-no?
And who gets to decide what delineates a crime anyway? If there is no victim, why do we need to be so severe?
Redditoru/Diamond_Silverwanted to discuss which illegal actions need to be examined a bit, by asking:
[Serious] What is a victimless crime?
Years ago I was arrested for shoplifting, and they were clearance items. Now, who did I injure? Macy's was insured. But no, they had to get all uppity. There was no bloodshed. I think they could've just let me return everything.

"So, I'm a criminal defense attorney and I am going to share a sort of multi-year mental/philosophical battle I had relevant to this topic. When I was in high school, I took a criminal justice elective course. One day, during class, we discussed the topic of victimless crimes."
"Crime, obviously is something that is against the law. However, it is generally understand that a crime is an act harmful not only to some individual but also to a community, society, or the state. So, by it's very nature, there should not be a such thing as "victimless crime," because crime necessarily requires a victim."
"So, of course, we bring up that drug use, marijuana as a primary example, does not create a victim. My teacher's argument was that there are numerous "victims" of drug use: the user who may accomplish less than they would but for the substance use; children of the user who may receive inadequate care because of the use (or simply the parent having less money); friends and family of the user who may receive less attention or whatever from the user; etc."
"For a number of years I generally accepted that as a valid point, there ARE victims of drug use. For whatever reason, this stuck in my mind for a long time, and when I was in law school I was researching something of a similar nature when it finally freaking occurred to me: crime requires a victim. So, while a drug user may not properly provide care for their child, the drug use isn't a crime. The crime is child abuse, and the drug use is an aggravating factor."
"Which brings me back to the no riding a bicycle with no hands thing. Riding a bicycle with no hands does not necessarily create a victim, so it is not a "crime" (I mean it's illegal, but that is bullcrap for anyone who understands what crime is, philosophically). Failing to heed to traffic is a crime because negligence caused an accident that would not have otherwise occurred, creating victims. If you failed to heed because you were riding a bicycle with no hands, that is an aggravating factor, but the no hands thing is not a crime, it is an attempt to prevent other crime by prohibiting victimless behavior."

Wrong is wrong. I suppose this will be an eternal issue. But who gets to say what's wrong? And does there always have to be a victim? Things to ponder. The cycle continues.

Q: Comparing sets of independent sets with one another This question is somewhat hard for me to articulate (I'm not extremely familiar with stats). My problem is this: I have a set of users, lets say User0-UserN. Each user has the potential to generate quantitive data sets X0-Xn. X is categorical and non-unique, such that the category Xa of User0 is equal to Xa of User1. Xn contains a set of numbers.
I would like to make comparisons between User0 and UserN based on a comparison between the data set Xa of User0 and Xa of UserN, Xb of User0 and Xb of UserN and so on.
My stats professor suggested using a ANOVA test, yet I don't see a good way to use this. I have also considered a T test and just comparing the results, but this doesn't seem very sound.
What would be a good way to perfect this analysis? The closest concept in the real world I can come to would be comparing fingerprints or perhaps faces, though I do not know how this is done either.
Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide.
UPDATE#1: So far I'm considering using a t-test between each set I'm comparing. Perhaps then I will just calculate a percentage of the number of "Successful" comparisons.

A: The concept you are looking for is called a "similarity function". Similarity functions are essentially different ways of determining how "close" or "far" two data points (Users in your case) are from each other.
There are a great number of different similarity functions that exist, each of which have areas they are appropriate for and areas they are not. A couple examples are Pearson's correlation and Goodman and Kruskal's lambda. ANOVA or t-tests tests can also be used to define a similarity function, where the F or t statistic gives the dissimilarity between two columns. They aren't really designed for that, however.
In order to apply most common similarity measurements, you'll need to convert your data into tabular data. For your categorical sets, you can do this via a process known as "binarization". Each categorical level (that is, each individual value which can appear in your sets X) gets its own column. The value for a given user in each column is 1 if the user's set contains the level, and 0 otherwise. Each user thus becomes a row of your new table.
The numeric set will need a bit more thinking to turn into a set of columns, and what is appropriate will depend on the kind of information being represented by that set. You may want to find the mean, median, standard deviation, or other summary statistics on the number set and use those values as your columns.
This vectorization process is more or less what is done in image comparison. Each image is turned into a vector, with each pixel a column. The column values are determined by the color that pixel holds for each image.
Once you have your data in a tabular format, it is relatively simple to calculate correlation matrices relating each pair of users using any similarity function you desire to use.

Iliac vein compression condition, which is also called May-Thurner Syndrome, is when the right iliac artery compresses the left iliac vein causing swelling, blood clots, and discomfort. This condition increases a patient's risk of DVT or deep vein thrombosis. In DVT, a blood clot forms and could partially or completely block the flow of blood through the vein.
The patient suffering from this syndrome faces a compressed left iliac vein due to the overlying right iliac artery. This leads to stasis or pooling of blood, which predisposes the patient to suffer from several blood clots. There are many treatment options including using stenting treatment procedure.
Stenting the affected vein in May-Thurner Syndrome prevents the collapse of the vein. But if there is a clot, the first step is to dissolve or remove the clot. Blood thinning medication will help prevent clots, but this medicine should be taken under medical supervision.
This non-surgical treatment is called pharmacochemical thrombolysis. Another non-surgical method to dissolve clots is by delivering the medication right up to the clot. The clot busting medicine is sent up to the clot by a catheter to dissolve or break up the blood clot.
After the blood clot is dissolved, the compressed vein is kept open by angioplasty, and this is maintained with the help of a stent.
Angioplasty is a non-surgical procedure which helps widen the iliac vein after the clot is dissolved. A small balloon is inserted and then inflated inside the vein to open it up and increase the flow of blood. The stent is then placed during this procedure to keep the blood vessel wide open.
The stent is a tiny metal braided mesh or tube that acts as a scaffold inside the vein. This ensures that the blood flows freely and there is no pooling. But if there is some other medical condition leading to the clotting of blood in some patients, that problem should also be addressed and resolved, to keep all venous diseases such as May-Thurner Syndrome at bay.

Can you have multiple subsystems sharing a jgroups stack?
We have an application running on JBoss EAP 6.3.0.Alpha1, we just added some code that makes use of infinispan, so I have been experimenting with trying to get both Infinispan and HornetQ playing nice together and sharing a JGroups stack so we only need to configure a single set of ports. I failed.
I'm not even sure this is or should be possible, and is maybe just down to me missunderstanding the documentation..
It started with the JGroups documentation, and the section about Sharing a transport between multiple channels in a JVM. That got me thinking this might be possible. The diagram of a shared transport seems to indicate that you can, but I could only get it working with 2 separate stacks using different ports.
Infinispan seems to have a lot more control here, but messaging doesn't seem to be enough options available to you thru a standalone xml type configuration to be able to achieve it, but I dont clearly understand what I'm doing and what the logs are actually telling me.
There is no great need for this, it's just partly a learning exercise, and an attempt to minimise port usage and configuration needed.
If it is possible, below are a collection of things I have tried so you can see how far off the mark my thinking might have been.
Not sure what this means, but it looks like it's using the channel name for the cluster too, but there doesnt seem to be a way of changing this, so run with it.
16:31:54,319 WARN  [org.jgroups.protocols.MPING] (MPING) bis01-0724/hq-cluster: discarding discovery request for cluster 'systemCache' from bis01-0724/systemCache; our cluster name is 'hq-cluster'. Please separate your clusters cleanly.

Not entirely sure what the separate your clusters cleanly means, but from a couple of forum posts it looks like each cluster must have its own port? So I looked for a way to share the cluster.
I tried adding shared to the transport as below, but that didnt seem to change anything.
No idea what the dummy bit is refering to here or where it came from.
Beyond that, I tried naming everything the same as the stack name, multiple stacks with different names, and a number of different variations on a theme - but nothing seemed to work.
So is it simply just not possible, and I'm really getting it all messed up and you can not have multiple things over the same ports?

Please understand we are not predicting that Apple will release a smaller form factor tablet, even sightings of an Apple prototype is not unusual. In fact it is in Apple's nature to research and field test any viable product in their orbit. Our analysis merely serves to illustrate how Apple would historically make a decision concerning this product type.
Let us try applying Apple Logic here, using Apple's patented Think Different ™ Philosophy to see how they would do it.
On one hand we have Steve Job's detailing quite clearly that Apple had tested and researched different size tablets and determined that the 7″ tablet was just not right , too small for content consumption, to big to carry in your pocket. Apple might just be planting stories to weed out leakers from within their mist? After all Amazon freely admits that their Fire tablet cost them more to produce then sell. Amazon's theory of content and sales lock in benefit, is different then that of Apple's and as of yet , to be proved. Would Apple chance introducing a new display size and hope the millions of developers would willing rewrite code and fragment their product line. A fault Apple accuses its competitor of.
Not very likely say the mini iPad nay sayers.
On the other hand we're seeing creditable sources reporting sightings of 7″ or 8″ Apple tablet prototypes in the wild or hearing from manufacturers are seeing orders for that size from Apple. Was Steve right? Perhaps he was being a tad bit disingenuous? Knowing that Apple had locked supply of 9.7 screens & that the only tablets that could be produced and even come near Apple's price point in 2011 would be 7″ form factor. Steve thought he might cast the Malocchio (Look it up) on that form factor for good measure in an effort to gain Apple even more momentum. Or how bout those amazing reports out of Samsung, Apple's trusted and loyal partner that Apple is indeed releasing a 7.85″ iPad in September 2012. Wall Street demands, that Apple answer the challenge presented from Amazon who's 7″ Fire is soooooo successful that Apple must crush them or risk losing a content war, say the proponents of the iPad Mini.
Who's right , Who's wrong ?
Can both schools of thought be right , If so , Does that compute?
You will have till September 20th, 2012 to complete this assignment.
Grand Loop Building rm 1984.
Apple will release a 7.85″ tablet but it will not be an iPad, it will be…..A 7 – 7.85″ iPad Touch, Ala Sony Vita, aimed right at the heart of the gaming industry!
Apple only enters a market when they can own it.
Apple will create a line of accessories i.e.: docks, game controls and different colored sport grips etc.

States destroying alcoholic drinks cannot continue to enjoy Rivers VAT receipts: Wike
Mr Wike said, "states with ethically restrictive social policies with economic implications" do not deserve Rivers VAT.
ADEFEMOLA AKINTADE • September 7, 2021
States that have a penchant for destroying alcoholic beverages can no longer enjoy the dividends of Rivers state Value Added Tax (VAT), governor Nyesom Wike has said.
Speaking during a statewide broadcast after the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) failure to secure a stay-of-execution to stop Rivers from collecting VAT from businesses in the state, Mr Wike hinted his victory would affect states' with low revenue.
Rivers State had the second-highest Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) in 2020, according to a report obtained from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
Mr Wike threw a subtle jab at northern states whose insistence to be governed by Sharia law has witnessed the loss of millions from the destruction of alcoholic beverages, while these states partake in VAT from alcohol consumption from other states.
He said he was aware that the Rivers state government decision to collect VAT would lead to setbacks for some of these Sharia-compliant states.
"Naturally, states with ethically restrictive social policies with economic implications may be adversely affected for now," Mr Wike said.
Over the years, the Hisbah police (enforcers of Sharia law) has continued to destroy millions of bottles and cans of alcoholic drinks considered a sin in Islam.
In an interview with Punch, Kano-based distributor of alcoholic drinks, John Simon, lamented how he lost over N35 million to the Hisbah police after they destroyed thousands of his alcoholic drinks in November last year.

Q: Web Socket Routing and the Improved Heroku Router In order to scale a websocket framework you usually have to employ some kind of load balancing in order to ensure each client stays connect to the same server (such as socket.io). Does the new "heroku improved router" require this type of loading balancing? Or will web sockets keep a connection to the same server?

A: The relevant documentation for websockets on Heroku is at https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/websockets
You can see the requirements relative to load-balancing in Application Architecture, where it is recommended not to rely on sticky sessions, but to rather use a back-end system that can allow the state to be made available to more instances.
The sticky session approach would tend to work very poorly on a platform such as Heroku where dynos and back-end instances can be moved, restarted, or stopped at least once a day; every instance of these would look like a netsplit and would leave your applications in a possibly undesirable state.

Daesh, also known as Islamic State (IS), exists in three dimensions: as an ideology, as a terrorist organization and as a territorial state. At the core of its jihadi ideology is the idea of a caliphate – a religious and political institution uniting all Muslims in submission to Daesh's interpretation of Islam. Terrorism serves as an instrument of war. To show its power, the "caliphate" needs successes, and these are most easily achieved by terrorist attacks, especially against the West. More of these can be expected as the territory controlled by IS in Syria and Iraq steadily shrinks.

After a spate of deadly shark attacks off the coast of Recife in north-eastern Brazil, locals are paying fishermen to catch and kill sharks.
It is thought environmental changes, such as the construction of a port near the city, have affected the sharks' hunting habits.
The authorities have announced plans to install shark nets in October, but people say they want to feel safe in the water immediately.
Beth McLeod reports ( published on 8 February 2013 ).
Nothing new in Brazil… They terminated half of the rain forest, now they are killing the sharks…What is the differance between the Chinese and the Brazillian ?
We call the chinese wild and uncaring for nature… What should we call the Brazillian ?
Try to get informed before talk s*it about Brazilians. You do not know anything about the Brazilians. This is a tiny group of stupid people trying to get attention. I do not have the right to talk like this.
I do not know you nationality, but If you are north american try to remember (or search on Google) about the Kyoto protocol. The great USA refused to sign because they are the most polluter of the world.
Before look to the brazilians like barbarians try to study about the culture.
Angel, that assessment is spot-on! I agree completely.
It isn't the sharks fault that a port was built by humans in their pupping grounds. People who wish to swim should do so elsewhere. Shark nets are indiscriminate and kill many forms of wildlife, not just sharks. And in areas where shark nets have been tried, such as South Africa, 30% or more of sharks caught, were caught on the inside of the net. They aren't a barrier against sharks. They are designed to kill. It is a tragedy in motion. Killing sharks, whether by pole and line, shark net, finning or other method is barbaric and must end.

Timeworn, aged, faded, shabby. All words to describe those well-worn flea market baskets that catch my eye and pull at my heart. So I was excited a couple of years ago to receive my mother-in-law's old wicker laundry basket. Mr. OTN, who is no youngsta', has memories of being pulled across the floor in this basket by his older brothers.
How sweet then, that it came home to live with us. Here is a picture of said basket as shared in our Den Reveal last Fall. It is perfect just the way it is and I wouldn't think of touching it with a paintbrush!
However . . . some of the baskets I have around my home are neither old nor precious, so this past week I decided to touch up a few of them with paint to give them that well worn look that I love.
Ageing baskets is one of the quickest and easiest projects you'll ever do!
First, a "before" view of the baskets I painted . . .
. . . and here they are "after" painting.
On my powder room trash can I used my Homemade Chalk Paint recipe and paint that Home Depot mixed to match Annie Sloan's chalk paint color French Linen.
For this flower basket I used Home Depot's match to Annie Sloan's Country Grey.
For the rest of my baskets I layered both colors, French Linen and Country Grey, by dry brushing on alternating layers of paint. You can see the beginning of that process below.
French Linen . . .
. . . followed by Country Grey.
I simply kept layering alternating colors until I liked what I saw. My kitchen baskets were sealed with a bit of dark wax for added protection and to age them even more.
These are the Home Depot colors I used.
That's it. A simple afternoon project that makes a big difference in how things look.
I've been adding a few new touches to my kitchen and my aged baskets fit right in. I'll be back later this week to share more pictures in Adding Personality to a Kitchen. Until then, thank you dear readers for stopping by. I hope you have one fantastic week!
Psalms 71:9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
So pretty! It's kind of amazing how the baskets are just transformed. They take on a frenchy and much more expensive look with the layers of paint.
I adore that you've given those flea market baskets a "face" lift, dear friend!!!
Instead of "cast~offs" they now appeal as "chic" accent pieces!!!
I, too, have done a few dry brushing techniques in the past with amazing results!!!
Thanks for sharing the products you used!!!
Thanks for sharing the Behr formulas. I need to get busy on some old baskets of my own! Did you seal them or just paint them and leave it as is?
These look great! I see so many baskets at Goodwill that are super cheap and this would be a great way to revamp some of those. Thanks for sharing!
Lovely transformation! The baskets look so pretty.
I just took some pictures of the two paint "recipes" with my phone so I'll have them the next time I go to the lumber yard. Thanks, Patti…..somebody just gave me a BUNCH of baskets….so now I need to get busy!
I love vintage baskets! Thanks for sharing with the Thursday Blog Hop!
Totally beautiful! You did an amazing job layering those colors.
What an awesome project! I love the painted Baskets. Thank you for sharing at Dream. Create. Inspire. Link. You were our most clicked link and will be featured on our post this afternoon. Have a great day!
It IS amazing how a gray mix wash can make a humble basket look like an aged antique. love your pot rack too. I had a big one at our other house and really miss it!
gotta love what paint can do, right?
Your baskets look so much better with paint.
I can't wait to try this on some of my baskets! Thank you for sharing at the Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop! I have featured you on my Tuesday Treasures! Hope you can stop by and take a look!
Patti, love the aged look! You've got this down to a science! The vintage laundry basket is a precious heirloom! Thanks for sharing with SYC. I will be featuring you this week.
Love all your baskets Patti!
I have lots of old baskets….gonna do this!
I have lots of old baskets. Gonna try this……..thanks for the tip!
I just love this idea. If i take a picture of the two can of paint you had mixed, will they be able to mix more from the cans of your paint? How do you get the Annie Sloan colors to the paint store for them to copy the colors? I have wondered how to do that. Thanks for your help.
Hi Jenny. I picked up an Annie Sloan color palette flyer at a store that sells the paint. They usually sell them for a few dollars but the owner gave one to me. I take that to the store for the color match but any color can be matched by your paint store. Good luck.


find goodies. Looks like an older restoration. Bike runs great and comes with a Virginia state title.
VIN and matching belly numbers. Has correct 18" wheels. What more can I say...Shoot em up!
transmission. New paint. Looks and RUNS great. Texas title. Good solid box and sheetmetal.

Inception REIT, a recently launched subsidiary of cannabis investment giant Inception Cos., plans to raise capital to provide debt and equity funding to both medical and recreational pot businesses — most of which don't have access to federal banking.
"It's been a week since we put our name out there publicly and the amount of interest and inbound financing requests has been overwhelming," Inception REIT Managing Partner and CEO Richard Acosta said. "For us, we obviously tackle the real estate problem. It's also one of the initial hurdles for anyone going into the space. If you want to be a cultivator, manufacturer [or] retailer you need to control real estate in a certain way — particularly by buying it."
Having worked in the private equity and real estate space at companies like lifestyle hospitality management firm SBE and global real estate private equity giant Colony Capital, Acosta is well-versed in the challenges facing marijuana businesses looking to expand their physical footprint.

Using the crowdfunding model, I-REIT aims to raise $50M from both institutional and individual accredited investors to help support cannabis-zoned real estate projects.
"What we're doing here is marrying real estate, underwriting and investment expertise into this industry," Acosta said. "It's been historically a cash business, so [many] of these operators have real estate on the balance sheet we can lend against."
The fundraising effort is being sponsored by Inception Cos., which has invested in several U.S. cannabis companies throughout the years, including leading marijuana dispensary provider Medmen and medical cannabis wholesaler The Pharm.
MedMen, often referred to as the Starbucks or Apple Store of cannabis opened its 13th location in Venice, a neighborhood in Los Angeles, in July. The retailer, which has locations throughout California, New York and Nevada, is led by former BlackRock executive Chris Leary and recently raised $100M to continue its expansion. It plans to open another location in Florida and has been licensed to open 25 pot dispensaries in the state.
"If entrepreneurs in the cannabis industry will be able to access capital and loans similar to firms in practically every other industry, that will be a huge boon to businesses and to consumers alike. At present, the current situation requires business owners in the cannabis space to operate in incredibly risky territory: the federal government considers them outlaws, banks won't even touch their money and they're forced to deal only in cash," Consumer Choice Center Deputy Director Yaël Ossowski said.
Consumer Choice is a Washington, D.C.-based organization that lobbies to affect local and federal regulations with bearing on issues such as free trade in Europe and electronic cigarettes.

"Even where cannabis is legal under state law, this means consumers are still encouraged to turn to the black market rather than the new legitimate market for cannabis," Ossowski said. "If firms in the cannabis industry are able to access capital fast and easily, through legal means, that means they will be able to grow their operations, hire more employees, make investments and consumers will be better off for it."
A Fine Line
While medical marijuana is now legal across 29 states, and recreational use is legal in Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont, Washington and the District of Columbia — the federal government still considers marjiuana to be illegal.
That divergence of state and federal laws has created a gray area that continues to limit cannabis companies' access to capital.
"All of the hurdles in the industry eminate from one simple fact — the fact that cannabis is a Schedule 1 drug," Acosta said.
Schedule 1 drugs are considered highly addictive and dangerous, with little to no medical value, according to the United States Drug Enforcement Administration. Other drugs in this category include heroin and meth.
One of the greatest frustrations for the industry is the lack of a regulatory playbook for local municipalities when it comes to pot businesses. Strict zoning and landlord unwillingness to sell or lease assets is only exacerbating headwinds in the space.
"It [also] complicates relationships with the IRS — you're not able to deduct operating expenses as a cannabis business, which materially impacts tax liability at the end of the year," Acosta said.

I-REIT plans to leverage Inception Cos.' expertise in the cannabis space to navigate operational challenges and regulatory hurdles to present real estate financing opportunities to established state-licensed businesses.
"Even though 92% of states already have cannabis access laws, institutional capital is still not widely available. We couldn't be more thrilled to introduce a dedicated platform for what most people don't realize is a real estate intensive industry," Inception Cos. co-founder Omar Mangalji said in a statement.
Inception REIT is not the first cannabis-focused REIT to hit the market.
Innovative Industrial Properties, an owner and operator of industrial assets particularly sanctioned for cannabis facility use, launched its initial public offering in December 2016. Since its IPO, during which time the company raised $67M at about $20 a share, the company's stock has nearly doubled — up 92% to $38.39/share as of Thursday's close.
IIPR owned five assets totaling 617K SF in New York, Maryland, Arizona and Minnesota as of December 2017, according to an annual Securities and Exchange Commission filing. The company recently announced plans to sell common and preferred shares in an effort to raise another $100M.
As the cannabis industry matures and pot businesses become more established, Acosta is optimistic about its future.
"At some point we will get close and march toward federal legalization one day, like tobacco and alcohol," Acosta said.

Moving Ahead in Belize ...
Moving Ahead in Belize
After enjoying a massive boost in 2018, the tourism industry in Belize is still recording growth. Due in part to an increase in international flights, the well-known and hard-working Belize Tourism Board have also contributed to a steady rise in both stay-over and cruise tourism. Unemployment is in decline, with 2019 seeing it as low as 7.6%, the lowest level recorded in Belize. Along with these factors, a reduction of government debt points towards a steady economic recovery for Belize. A small country with a big name in business, Belize has a great reputation for its stability and security. As Central America's first offshore jurisdiction and with a government who are strongly committed to protecting financial privacy, this young country already has almost 30 years' experience in creating an inviting and nurturing environment for corporate domicile, and has been described as one of the most corporate-friendly environments in the world. Belize's chief trading partners include the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Mexico, Curaçao, Panama and is also a partner of Caricom (Caribbean Community and Common Market).
In October this year The Belizean Government and The Government of the United Arab Emirates signed an agreement on economic cooperation. The agreement is structured as such to establish a stronger relationship between the two countries in key areas; investment; transportation; trade; energy and renewable energy; infrastructure and construction; tourism and finally agriculture.
The establishment of a Joint Economic commission will include private sector representatives, co-chaired by Belizean Minister of Economic Development, Hon. Erwin Contreas and Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansouri, The UAE's Minister of the Economy. The pair met in Dubai on the 9th October 2019 to sign the agreement on behalf of their respective governments.
Another victory for Belize this year saw its removal from the Dutch list of low-tax jurisdictions. Due for publication in December the list is composed of territories with no corporation tax, or corporation tax lower than 9%. A misunderstanding of the taxes in both Belize and Saudi Arabia led to proposed changes that will remove the two countries from the list. Although the country remains on the EU's low-tax blacklist, Belize is seen to be coping at a time when international regulations regarding tax-evasion are under the spotlight.
Belize has been a popular home for offshore accounts since enacting the Companies Act in 1990, creating the initial legal structure for the offshore sector. In 2000, this act was further strengthened by extra layers of flexibility and confidentiality making it one of the top destinations for offshore business formation. Multiple free zones across the region offering reductions in tax and operating costs contribute greatly towards Belize's global profile.
Minimum legal set up requirements and costs, a low-risk economy and maximum privacy make it easy to understand why so many choose Belize as the home for their new business.

It's a wall calendar for 2012 and it's constellation-themed. I painted it by hand on illustration board and then scanned it to make some finishing touches on the computer. It's 11x17" and it's going to be either digitally printed or offset printed (nicer but more expensive). It'll go with a set of postcards, one for each month with a zodiac constellation on each one - these are going to be block printed by us! We haven't started carving the blocks yet but when we do, I'll keep you posted!
This is one of (at least) two calendars we're trying to finish up by the end of this month so stay tuned!


Why was Jesus Baptized? John the Baptist asked Jesus this same question with different words.
John the Baptist: "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?" (Matt. 3:14). Jesus: "Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness" (Matt. 3:15).
In the Gospel of Matthew, the phrase, "righteousness" means conformity to God's will. Jesus' answer to John the Baptist "affirms that it is God's will" that John baptize him and furthermore implies that Jesus' baptism is about Jesus and his complete obedience. Through his participation in baptism, Jesus (in the role of the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 42 who first and foremost obeys God – fulfilling all righteousness") affirms his determination to accomplish our redemption in obedience to God's will. Furthermore, Jesus is saying "he must 'now,' at this point in salvation history," be baptized by John in order to "demonstrate his willingness to take on his servant role," identify with humanity, and obey "every word that comes fron the mouth of God." Through participation in his baptism Jesus demonstrates that he is fully committed to do the redeeming work God has given him to do.
Praying that these comments add depth to your understanding this Easter season as you ponder Jesus' death and resurrection in light of his baptism and all that it means.
