Did you know that Warren Buffett bought his first stock at the age of 11?

It's evident that Warren Buffett is gifted in business and investments, but he credits his success to his education.
Known as the "Oracle of Omaha" with a current net worth of 103.8 billion US dollars, Buffett is one of the most successful investors of all time.
Pundits believe 94% of his wealth were earned after he turned 60, but did you know that by the time he was 16, he had already earned what would currently be worth US$53,000?
The American business magnate, strategic investor and generous philanthropist has clearly come a long way since beginning his own venture at the age of six or buying his first stock at 11.
Since his journey to becoming the most successful and impactful investor of the 20th century was a long and illustrious one, let's start at the very beginning.
A natural-born hustler
According to Alice Schroeder's 2008 biography, "The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life," Buffett's personal savings account began in a sock drawer.
He began exhibiting his entrepreneurial traits by selling sticks of gum around his neighbourhood, selling them in packs of five for a nickel.
"We don't break up packs of gum — I mean, I've got my principles. I still, to this day, remember Mrs. Macoubrie saying she wanted one stick. They were a nickel and she wanted to spend a penny with me," he told Schroeder.

Buffet would eventually boost his revenue by selling Coca-Cola – a company he now owns US$21.7 billion worth of shares in – door-to-door during the summer.
At 11, he learned the art of patience, having bought three stock shares of Cities Service Preferred for US$38 and selling them when they increased to US$40. He continued to monitor the stocks, finding that they continued to increase in price before remaining stable at US$200.
Then, at 13, he got into the newspaper business and a paperboy. He would wake up at 4:30 a.m. to deliver The Washington Post to houses along his route. He was also selling his own horse racing tip sheet. In this same year, he filed his first tax return, claiming a US$35 deduction for his bike.
At 15, he had already saved up US$2,000. He didn't spend his earnings as a regular teenager would. Instead, he invested US$1,200 in a 40-acre farm, in agreement with a Nebraskan farmer. He also began Buffet's Used Golf Balls, Buffett's Approval Service, and Buffett's Showroom Shine – amongst a couple of other ventures.
At 17, as a student at Woodrow Willson High School in Washington, D.C., Buffett and a fellow student purchased a second-hand pinball machine for US$25 and installed it in a barbershop. In a few months, they made enough profit to set up machines in two other locations. He eventually sold the business for US$1,200.
The education of Warren Buffett
Buffett graduated from Woodrow Willson in 1947. His senior yearbook picture read: "likes math; a future stockbroker."
Although he was eager to remain an independent entrepreneur, his father urged him to choose the academic route. So at 16, Buffett chose to pursue a business degree from the Wharton School of Pennsylvania before completing the last two years of his degree at the University of Nebraska.
He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 1951.
According to a recorded keynote address, Buffett stated that he "enjoyed every minute" of his time at Nebraska. He commended his "terrific" professors and noted that the business skills he developed at the university have given him a competitive edge throughout his career.
After being rejected by Harvard Business School, he opted for an advanced degree from Columbia Business School of Columbia University.
He studied economics under Benjamin Graham – otherwise known as "the father of value investing". According to CNBC, Graham played a significant role in shaping Buffett's career and investment philosophy.
After graduating from Columbia in 1951, Buffett furthered his education at the New York Institute of Finance.
Immediately after, he began his career as an investment salesperson. In 1954, Buffett's mentor, Graham, offered him a job for US$12,000 a year at Graham-Newman Corp.
Micro-investing: What every beginner should know
Two years later, Buffett formed Buffett Partnership Ltd. in Omaha. However, Buffett set his sights on textile company Berkshire Hathaway. So he began accumulating stock in the early 1960s.
By 1965, he was in full control as Charmain and CEO – a position he holds till this day. Last year – in light of a global pandemic – the company still generated US$245.5 billion in revenue. It owns businesses in insurance, rain transportation, energy generation and distribution, manufacturing, as well as retailing.
While advanced qualification helped Buffett dive deeper into the art of doing good business, a thriving career never stopped the Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient from taking his knowledge further.
Buffett credits his confidence to the "Dale Carnegie Course in Effective Speaking, Leadership Training, and the Art of Winning Friends and Influencing People", which he participated in as a young professional in 1952. In his office, this academic certificate is reportedly the only one on display.
He told CNBC: "That $100 course gave me the most important degree I have. It's certainly had the biggest impact in terms of my subsequent success."

Harry: England rugby team can hold their heads high
November 2, 2019, 3:43 pm Updated: November 2, 2019, 4:15 pm
The Duke of Sussex with RG Snyman of South Africa following the Rugby World Cup Final (World Rugby/PA)
The Duke of Sussex has praised the England rugby team for an "outstanding job" and urged them to hold their heads high after their dreams of Rugby World Cup victory ended in disappointment.
Harry, who joined Japan's Crown Prince Akishino in the stands for the final in Yokohama, said the players should be "incredibly proud" of their achievement, despite their 32-12 loss to South Africa.
"Tonight was not England's night," the duke said, in a message posted on the Sussex Royal Instagram account.
"But the whole nation is incredibly proud of what @EnglandRugby have achieved over the past few months," he added.
Congratulations South Africa! Rugby World Cup champions 2019! • "Tonight was not England's night, but the whole nation is incredibly proud of what @EnglandRugby have achieved over the past few months. Hold your heads high boys, you did an outstanding job and we couldn't have asked more from you. To the whole of South Africa – rugby unites all of us in more ways than we can imagine, and tonight I have no doubt that it will unite all of you. After last months visit, I can't think of a nation that deserves it more. Well done and enjoy! Arigatu gozaimasu Nihon 🇯🇵" – The Duke of Sussex #RWC2019 #RWCFinal Video © @rugbyworldcup Photo © PA
A post shared by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (@sussexroyal) on Nov 2, 2019 at 6:13am PDT
"Hold your heads high boys, you did an outstanding job and we couldn't have asked more from you."
Harry also congratulated the Springboks on their win, saying he could not think of a nation "that deserves it more".
He was pictured shaking hands with South Africa's players in the dressing room after the game.
"To the whole of South Africa – rugby unites all of us in more ways than we can imagine, and tonight I have no doubt that it will unite all of you," he said.
Before the match, the duke said the tournament had been "incredible" and predicted the final would be a "fantastic game".
In a video shared by the official Rugby World Cup Twitter account, Harry said: "May the best team win. I think the competition is going to finish the way it started, which is spectacularly."
He added: "The way they (Japan) have hosted this whole competition has been incredible. I think that the way they respect each other, the way that they've respected the game and the way they've respected the travelling teams has been typically Japanese."
Earlier, Harry warmed up for the final at a training session for would-be Japanese Paralympians – and discovered that one or two of them were rooting for England's opponents.
"Who are you guys supporting tonight?", he asked a group of wheelchair rugby players at Tokyo's new Para Arena for disabled athletes.
Back came a chorus of "England" before Tomoshige Kabetani piped up: "South Africa!"
"I'll have a word later," joked Harry. "You might not get selected for the Paralympics!"

Reporter's And Individual's Requests For Information Compared
Posted on June 7, 2021 by theburgwatch
How does a reporter's experience compare to the average residential taxpayer where there may not be an incentive to quickly comply with requests for information?
Julie Kotsis, the Windsor Star, reported that Amherstburg CAO John Miceli responded to her email on Day 2.
My experience requesting information from the Town of Amherstburg and Windsor Police differs.
For example, information that should have been readily available required an almost two-year formal appeal process and an Order for the town to search for more records. Windsor Police objected to the disclosure of its Amherstburg policing proposal which resulted in a two-year wait for an Information and Privacy Commission Order to disclose all but two pages of the 131- page document.
Mayor DiCarlo advised the appropriate avenue was through a written inquiry sent to Windsor Police for information pertaining to the utilization of specialty units in the town of Amherstburg since the take-over.
Windsor Police referred me to the company that conducted its telephone survey, which did not respond. Back to Windsor Police who directed me to submit a Freedom of Information request.
Most recently, the town of Amherstburg insists it is fair to impose an $892.50 fee to complete a request for detailed information that the clerk and CAO publicly stated during a council meeting.
Over a year ago, I requested councillors consider creating a protocol to answer taxpayers' and media inquiries. In response, the CAO advised the town is in the process of creating a Routine Disclosure and Active Dissemination Policy and, until adopted, requested that all information I seek be made through the formal process.
I repeated my request in April this year for council to adopt the Information and Privacy Commissioner recommended Routine Disclosure and Active Dissemination Policy, revised in 1998.
The town clerk advised COVID impacted services and only Councillor Prue supported it and reminded members of council that during the last election, they all said we need more openness and citizen involvement.
I wonder which will come first; a policy or more campaign promises to be open, transparent and accountable.

I'm a Digital Entrepreneur from the North of England and I live for things such as music, health & fitness and gaming. So welcome to both my lifestyle blog and home to some of my online personal creative projects.
I come from a predominantly technology based background but never got a degree after finishing formal education (only doing one year on my university course). I felt this was holding me back in the world of work and I was working mundane 9 to 5 jobs anyways. I decided I should work for myself and spend my time working hard doing what I want to do.
I like computers, graphic design and photography and have developed web design and front end development skills in order to help pursue what I love.
I've been a huge music fan for most of my life and I still enjoy playing my trusty old guitars! Hopefully I can share some of my videos with you people and watch some of yours.
I love technology and how it lets us achieve a great many things, but in many ways I am also extremely traditional and love nature and I think this contrast kind of helps define me as a person.
I would also like to inspire people and help motivate them to reach their goals.

It originates with a small spring, or a series of small streams, a few bodies of trickling water. Then Allah makes them all coalesce, come together and join forces, growing stronger and moving faster until the flow of water meets some resistant rocks and obstacles. It seems insurmountable, but at this point, the water is forced to slow down, while more water accumulates around the bedrocks, accumulating strength, speed and quantity. This eventually builds up volume and pressure needed to flow over the rocks.
This process is repeated again and again as the water flows across the terrain. From our naked eye, the water seems to be slowing down, but in reality, it is actually harnessing force and power for the next phase of its journey. Each set of obstacles is a preparation for a different terrain, a different landscape, a new beginning.
With each cycle, the flow of water gets stronger and more defined. The water accelerates until it meets another set of obstacles, and again, the gush is forced to slow down until it builds up sufficient force and quantity to overcome the next obstacle, and the next, and the next. However, after each set of blockades is overcome, the volume of the water increases and its speed becomes swifter. The momentum peaks and when at its maximum velocity, it becomes a powerful waterfall, gushing over the edge of a precipice. From there, the water lands in a reservoir or lake, and a new chapter begins.
Our journey in life is quite similar.
Think of us as starting out in life, slowly at first, but as we build up confidence and strength, we always end up going too fast. And then, something breaks our speed. We face our personal roadblock - a trial or a calamity. An obstacle in life, where we are forced to take it slow until we figure out what to do. At times like these, we feel that we can't see beyond the tribulation and we don't even know how we can get to the other side.
Water is filtered when it is forced through the rocks, reeds and minerals obstructing it. The barriers not only slow the streams and rivers, but also rid them of impurities. After that, the water gathers volume and momentum for the next stage, where the process is repeated. Again the water is cleansed and strengthened afresh.
Our lives are the same, we face different challenges and difficulties. Sometimes we feel defeated, as if this is the end, but in reality, our trials in life cleanse us and purify us. The obstructions teach us to be patient, but more importantly, to take a step back and strengthen our iman (faith). It is this strength which we harness that gives us the maturity and ability to go into different cycles and phases of life. Trials and tribulations are the necessary training ground for us to develop our inner strength.
Having overcome a tribulation, we can often see how Allah takes us from one state to another, using us for different things, with different people, and with a different vision. He does not send us obstacles and complications in life to kill us, but rather to prepare ourselves for the next phase in life. He does not send down calamities to break us, but to make us. With each tier in life, we become stronger and more capable. This is why we should not despair when life appears to fall apart. Trials are our avenues for us to regroup, rethink, go back to the basics, and develop strength. These issues may take time to overcome, but those who indeed overcome them find that what lies on the other side made the journey worthwhile.
And once the waterfall has reached its destination, a new journey begins. It can irrigate, nourish and water. Once our journey of iman reaches enough strength, so too can we then nourish those around us, in ways that we could never do when we were just tiny springs and trickling streams.

The Principle of Rhythm
The Hermetic Library Anthology Album – Magick, Music and Ritual 14 by Iterum Nata
(Heikkinen)
This song is based on the Hermetic law of Rhythm. According to the Hermetic philosophy, a divine rhythm is to be found everywhere in the cosmos. Everything is just an eternal dance of birth and death.
It is stated in the song that life is but a brief moment of consciousness, surrounded by oblivion. To quote the poet Algernon Charles Swinburne: "His life is a watch or a vision, between a sleep and a sleep."
Another useful Hermetic principle to study is the Principle of Polarity. Birth and death are mostly understood as two opposite phenomenas, but in Kybalion it reads that "opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree". That being said, birth and death should be seen as two extreme ends of the same phenomenon – the phenomenon called life.
In this song you can hear the 7/4 rhythmic pattern. This pattern has a certain symbolic meaning. After that comes the last verse, where it is sung:
"I have seen my own death
Decompression of the self
But above as below
Once again it will be whole"
The key to this verse is the Hermetic principle of Correspondence. "As above, so below".
In Thelemic context this song can be about finding the inner star and to adore the solar shining within.

Qabalah: Tiphereth
Taoism: The Taoist Body, Chi, Yin Yang
Thelema: Liber Resh vel Helios

Jesse Heikkinen is a 30-year-old musician from Tampere, Finland. He has lived most of his life in the Northern part of the country, where the winters are fierce and dark, and in the summer the sun never sets. Besides being a musician, Heikkinen also teaches the guitar and works with the disabled.
He grew up surrounded by guitars and other instruments, so no wonder that music has always been the main channel for him to express himself. When Heikkinen was a kid, his father used to listen to Electric Light Orchestra, The Beatles and Pink Floyd with him. These bands fed his interest to the universe and the occult already then.
In the last ten years Heikkinen has been touring and making records with so many bands that he can't even name all of them. There has been everything from children's music to jazz to prog metal. He has worked as a guitar teacher for nine years now.
Nowadays Heikkinen plays the guitar in such bands as Hexvessel, The Aeon and King Satan. He also has a solo project, Iterum Nata. All of these bands are heavily influenced by the occult, although from totally different perspectives. In 2016 Heikkinen was in a theatre play about Aleister Crowley. He performed in the house band (to be known as The Aeon) and played a small part as Jimmy Page.
After the play Heikkinen moved to Tampere and started to write his own songs, influenced by Crowley's philosophy, Thelema. That's how Iterum Nata (latin for "born again") was born. The first album was really serene and calm and the main theme was how to find the Godhead within. As Crowley puts it: "Every man and every woman is a star".
The second Iterum Nata album, however, is something totally different. It is more percussive and darker than the first – even manic from time to time. The musical and lyrical themes revolve around the seven Hermetic laws and the dialogue between birth and death. The name of the album, "The Course of Empire", is a tribute to the American painter, Thomas Cole. The name also suggests that everything happens in a certain course, just like the Hermetic laws allude.

In conversation with Jesse Heikkinen
I recently had a chance to talk with musician Jesse Heikkinen about his music, which I think will appeal to the audience of the library quite a bit.
Jesse is a 30-year-old musician from Tampere, Finland. He has lived most of his life in the Northern part of the country, where the winters are fierce and dark, and in the summer the sun never sets. Jesse plays the guitar in such bands as Hexvessel, The Aeon, and King Satan. He has toured and made records with so many bands that he can't even name all of them. But, he also has a solo project, Iterum Nata, with two recently released singles from his forthcoming second issue, due in December. All of these bands are heavily influenced by the occult, although from totally different perspectives. Besides being a musician, Jesse also teaches the guitar and works with the disabled.
John Griogair Bell, Librarian: Take a moment to introduce yourself! Who are you?
Jesse Heikkinen, photo by Antti Haapapuro
Jesse Heikkinen: The boring answer would be, I am a musician from Finland, lately focused on more or less occult-themed music. On the other hand, aren't we all just a divine manifestation of eternal Gnosis, consisted of ancient stardust?
L: Sure. Infinite sparkly dust. That's everything. Done. No need to keep going with the interview, as we're all one! Or, you know, at least that's one way to think about it, from one mote of dust to another.
J: Yes, you could've just checked this stuff out from the Akashic records – the Wikipedia of collective consciousness!
L: Ugh! Homework? Pshaw! Other than music and dusting, what are you up to in the world?
J: Not much, I work as a social counsellor and occasionally worship the Devil – just like all decent Finns do. That's why we have one of the best social security systems in the world!
L: You've got an upcoming solo release! This is your second solo album? Tell me a little about that.
J: Yes! I've been in the music business for years now, but my first solo album was released just last December. Now the second album, The Course of Empire, is ready and will be released a year after the debut. I've been writing music since I was a kid but I never really got the time to express myself through my own songs until last year. My solo project, Iterum Nata, was born as I moved to Tampere on July 2017.
L: And, you've been in a number of other projects, I understand. What have those been? Are they ongoing?
J: In the last ten years I've been doing stuff from children's music to jazz to black metal. Maybe my next solo project should be a mixture of these three! Nowadays, I have three main bands besides Iterum Nata; Hexvessel plays beautiful psych folk/rock, The Aeon's musical path is dark acoustic folk, and King Satan is loud and provocative industrial metal. There are also few other projects which shouldn't be discussed here.
L: I'm wondering if you've have any realizations or breakthroughs in the time since, or if the change is continued growth on the same path. What's changed for you since your last solo release?
J: Well, yes — so much has happened! It never stops surprising me, how we seem to be unlimited in our potential of growing and learning. There really is a huge gap between the first and this album, in many levels. The first record was kind of an experiment, where I tried out different kinds of sounds and studio tricks. It wasn't so much about playing songs, it was more about just creating soundscapes. The lyrical themes were about gazing inside and trying to find the Godhead within. It was written in an enchanted state, where I felt that I really connected with the true nature of being; "Wake up, You are Nothing and All". That's actually pretty nihilistic approach, but with a positive twist! To be honest, I never actually thought that my weird solo music would interest anyone. After the first album was released I got tons of great feedback. Shortly after that I joined King Satan and Hexvessel. There was also lots of stuff going on in my spiritual growth and I absorbed lots of metaphysical ideas from many different schools. I started to record The Course of Empire last May. I wanted to make it more aggressive and darker album than the debut, again to mach my own thoughts during that time. I also let go of the idea that I should do everything on my own, so there are some featuring musicians on the album as well.
L: Aggressive and dark? From Finland?! How can this be?! I mean, really, what is it about Finland? Are you near Lemi, the Capital of Metal?
J: We Finns like our music as we like our humour.
L: And there's a single that's out now from this upcoming album that people can check out. I understand you put a lot of thought into each track, with ideas and symbolism you've got in mind for each. What's this track about for you as the artist?
J: I think this was the first track I wrote for the album. The whole writing process is covered in a haze, but I do remember having serious Kingston Wall vibes as I wrote this song. I have always felt a certain attraction to number seven and in this song that number plays a huge role. In Hebrew the number seven means a sword or "to arm", so this song can be seen as a battle cry. On the other hand it is an ode to the never-ending dance of birth and death and it describes the message of the whole album pretty comprehensive way. There's also another single that came out on Nov 8th!
L: Tell me a bit about this second track!
J: "Sacrificial Light" is a song about self-sacrifice, whatever that may mean. I got Anna-Kaisa from The Aeon to sing this song and Kimmo from Hexvessel to play the string ensemble. The classical four elements are hidden in the lyrics to form a certain alchemic formula.
L: Tell me about your esoteric studies and influences. What path are you on? What's being on that path done for you?
J: There are many paths with different names, different gods and different ideals, but in the end all of that is just semantics. I believe we all create our own paths, but after all all these paths are united. I could say the main influence is my own inner knowledge, which is dynamic and all-developing. I have adopted the Thelemic philosophy (which is a nexus of many mystical and cultural schools) and I enjoy the main concepts of Daoism. These systems have helped me to conceptualise some metaphysical phenomena that I have always known they're there, but never had the right names for. At this point I'd like to bring up Atheism. I know so many smart and nice atheists, but for some reason they can't stand if one speaks about being on an esoteric path. I guess that's because they forget that these paths can be (and often are) symbolic. The Gods, prophets and rituals may be symbols and thus could fit even the atheistic world view flawlessly. I believe we all are capable of finding our own paths, but at first we need to know who we truly are. And that's where the symbols help us.
L: How have these occult influences informed your music? How have they influenced your ideas of music and have they had an influence on your technical music making as well?
J: In general I trust my intuition more and try not to be too hard on myself. When it comes to the writing, all of my lyrics are very much inspired by various occult themes and there are loads of known symbols and esoteric principles to be found.
L: What do you know now about your particular esoteric path and study that you wish you'd known before?
J: I really do believe that everything happens exactly at the right moment – that's the only possibility. The Universe goes on exactly as it should, but we tend to forget that. And that's mainly because we get so easily stuck in our human viewpoints.

L: How does this thinking affect you as you go about doing things in your life? Do you have a personal practice informed by these ideas?
J: I have had to learn to accept things as they come. For me it doesn't mean that one should be passive and submissive, but rather humble and ready to move on. I try to practice what I preach!
L: What do you suspect is true, but can't prove, about your particular esoteric path of study?
J: What a question! I can't even prove to myself that I am true!
L: Well, let's continue as if we are true, for some value of true that helps us make it through this interview!
J: Wow, maybe you can write the lyrics for my next album? The jazzy satanic children's music record?
L: I'm down. Hit me up!

Originally published on Argus Leader Media's Political Smokeout blog on Oct. 18, 2013. Updated and reposted here.
News that some rural Colorado counties are trying to secede from their increasingly urban and liberal state has revived talk of a historical curiosity: the attempt, during the Great Depression, to create a new state out of parts of northern Wyoming, western South Dakota and southern Montana.
The name of the state, which would have been America's 49th, was proposed to be Absaroka.
I'm not concerned here with discussing the wisdom of secession, or the practicalities thereof. What got me curious today was a simpler question: what would South Dakota's politics be like if these counties, some of the most reliably Republican in the state, weren't part of the South Dakota electorate?
An Absaroka-less South Dakota would be more Democratic than the current Mount Rushmore state – but only to a degree.
One quick shorthand method for calculating the partisan lean of a state is the Cook Partisan Voting Index. Basically it looks at shares of the presidential vote to calculate how much more Democratic or Republican a state is than the country as a whole.
Real South Dakota (RSD), for example, has a PVI of "R+10," meaning it's 10 percentage points more Republican than the country. California is D+9, meaning it's 9 percentage points more Democratic than the country. Virginia is dead even, meaning its partisan lean exactly matches the country.
Fortunately, Absaroka would have split along county boundaries, so it's relatively easy to calculate the PVI for Alternate South Dakota. In the 2008 presidential election, John McCain would have won 52.4 percent of the two-party vote (he actually got 54.2 percent of the two-party vote). In the 2012 presidential election, Mitt Romney would have won 57.5 percent (he really won 59.2 percent). Comparing that average, 55 percent Republican, to the national Republican share of 47.1 percent, Alternate South Dakota ends up as an R+7.8.
In real life, South Dakota is R+10, so losing Absaroka would have made South Dakota about two percentage points more Democratic.
But small shifts can make the difference in close elections.
And Tom Daschle would have broken the Curse of Karl Mundt in 2004 if western South Dakota had gone to play in Absaroka. In real life, Thune beat Daschle by 4,500 votes. Alternate South Dakota would have voted for Daschle by a 9,300-vote margin.
This only goes so far. For example, 2010 Democratic gubernatorial candidate Scott Heidepriem can draw little consolation from this counter-factual. In real life Dennis Daugaard won by 23 points and 73,000 votes. Alternate South Dakota would have voted for Daugaard by the only slightly less overwhelming total of 21 points and 52,000 votes.
What to take away? Geography matters. South Dakota is Republican through and through, and would remain so even if the most Republican part of the state were sliced off. But the slight shift toward the political center could have had big impacts in the state's recent close elections.
What would the smaller South Dakota's nickname be? Still the Sunshine State? Or something different?
If the tourist hordes heading to the Black Hills were heading to another state, do you think Alternate South Dakota would have put tollbooths up on I-90?
Would Pierre still be the capital? The physical investment in government infrastructure would be expensive to duplicate. But while Pierre is geographically central to South Dakota and has major population centers to its west in the Black Hills, in Alternate South Dakota there's very little to the west of Pierre.
In January, a Wyoming sportswriter took a look at a similar question: what would the high school sports conferences look like in Absaroka? If you like sports, give it a read.

Turan era una figura de la mitología etrusca. Su nombre significa «la señora» y era la diosa del amor, la fertilidad y la vitalidad, además de la patrona de Vulci, una de las ciudades más importantes de Etruria.

La raíz de su nombre es considerada por algunos estudiosos la misma de las palabras torre y tirano.

Turan puede ser bastante antigua, pero no aparece en la lista de Piacenza ni en la lista de deidades etruscas de Martianus. Entre los etruscos, su nombre correspondía al del mes de julio, cuando tenía sus principales festividades, aunque solo sabemos la palabra latina, "Traneus".

Era la esposa de Laran y se acompañaba de otras divinidades menores llamadas lasa. Se la representa con alas. Aparece representada en muchos espejos, uno de ellos en el British Museum con pequeñas alas en el pie. La paloma y el cisne eran considerados sus animales sagrados.

Culto
Era venerada en toda la costa del Latium, sobre todo en su santuario en Gravisca, el puerto de Tarquinia, donde se le atribuía la característica de protectora de los navegantes. Su presencia se testimonia en inscripciones dedicatorias sobre ofrendas votivas sobre todo de mujeres, en griego y etrusco, entre los siglos VI y IV a.C. En una inscripción se la llama Turan ati, 'Madre Turan', que se ha interpretado como una conexión con Venus Genetrix. Venus, es la madre de Eneas y progenitora del linaje Julio-Claudia.

Corresponde en la mitología romana a la diosa Venus y en la mitología griega a la diosa Afrodita.

Legado
Turan es una de las pocas diosas etruscas que ha sobrevivido en el folclore italiano desde la Romaña. Llamada 'Turanna', se dice de ella que es una hada, un espíritu de amor y felicidad, que ayuda a los amantes.

Talia has been part of the Marick Group crew since 2013. We like to call her our Instructional Design Heroine. As an instructional designer, she's responsible for creating the customized learning experiences that Marick Group implements and our clients enjoy.
Talia's path to the instructional design world is an interesting one. After majoring in Architecture and Civil Engineering at Lehigh University, she took a graphic design job after graduation, with the plan of returning to grad school for Historic Restoration. But a friend who was studying Instructional Design and Development at Lehigh suggested she check out the program, which would allow her to merge her passions of architecture and design. She was hooked, and earned her Masters of Science in Instructional Design and Development.
Following grad school, Talia worked in the financial services field, providing expertise in online and simulation development. She then worked for five years in the defense industry in the areas of instructional design, development and LMS administration. Today, her Marick workload keeps her busy with a variety of federal government and commercial clients.
Joining the Marick team was a no-brainer for Talia. After working alongside several Marick employees on a 2012 project, she quickly realized they were a special gang – talented, motivated and highly engaged with their clients and fellow colleagues. When the opportunity came to join the team, she didn't pass it up.
The big changes that have come to the learning and talent management worlds the past few years are no match for Talia and the rest of Marick Group. She knows their team is the best partner to have when it comes to implementing a learning or talent management solution.
When Talia takes a break from the wonderful world of Marick Group, she enjoys traveling, running marathons, and volunteering with organizations dedicated to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). She and her husband also recently welcomed a baby boy to the family…and she's wondering why there isn't a Learning Management System for newborn training.

PARIS (Reuters) - Paris Saint Germain forward Lionel Messi has "incredible talent" and the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner will soon fire on all cylinders, manager Mauricio Pochettino said on Friday.
Messi stunned the sports world when he left boyhood club Barcelona and joined PSG on a two-year deal in the close season.
But the 34-year-old Argentina international has had a slow start to life at PSG, scoring four goals in 12 games in all competitions, including one in Ligue 1.
"Leo has an incredible talent and has always scored, so he will score plenty more here," Pochettino told reporters ahead of Saturday's trip to Lens. "It's a matter of time and efficiency.
"He gets a lot of chances in every game. The ball will eventually go in and he will help us a lot, as he already does."
PSG are top of the table on 41 points after 16 games, 12 points above Olympique de Marseille, who have a game in hand.
Pochettino said the Parisian club will face a tricky test against fifth-placed Lens and urged the players to be more clinical in finishing their chances.
"The key will be to score goals by improving our efficiency in front of goal," Pochettino said. "We will play against a very physical Lens team. They are having a great season, and have a very good team with a good coach (Franck Haise)."
PSG said in a statement that defender Sergio Ramos' workload has been adjusted due to muscle fatigue and the 35-year-old will return to training on Sunday, having missed their 0-0 draw with Nice nL1N2SM3DT on Wednesday.

5G cybersecurity concerns and physical challenges: What you need to know Dan Patterson discusses how 5G will enable IoT, AR, VR, 3D renderings, and more. He also talks about the numerous cybersecurity concerns with 5G.
The race is on to build 5G networks around the world as it is the next generation of wireless connectivity. I talked with CBS and CNET Senior Producer Dan Patterson about some of the benefits of 5G for consumers, as well as the concerns and challenges surrounding its deployment. The following is an edited transcript of our interview.
Karen: Dan, we've been hearing a lot of the hype for quite some time but where does 5G stand now? What does it really mean for consumers and what's the up side for them?
Dan: Hi Karen. So as TechRepublic readers know, 5G is a broadcast transmission protocol and it was devised by an organization called the Third Generation Partner Project...that is 3GPP for short. So this refers to a spectrum of radio frequencies that carriers like Verizon, AT&T and others to use to transmit data. It uses what are called short or millimeter waves. If you're familiar with the way radio works, AM are these really long waves, but the fidelity is real low, which is why AM radio kind of sounds crackly? FM radio is shortwaves. They are higher compression, but for shorter distances.
5G isn't exactly the same, but it's a similar, or at least a very helpful metaphor. 5G can transmit a ton of data, far more than our current LTE or 4G networks can, but it's over a shorter distance, which means that Karen, you said the right word there, hype, which means that although 5G will enable a lot of cool technologies, it's really hard to install and deploy because you have to have more transmitters to cover the same amount of area.
So 5G will help enable things like the Internet of Things, augmented and virtual reality and a lot of other really cool technologies. We've put a story up on CBSNews.com about 5G that will help with these 3D renders of the human body and help stream that to AR and VR headsets. Really cool, but that stuff is still a long way off because we are still deploying many of these networks. Here in New York City, 5G has been deployed on a small little island off the tip of Manhattan called Governors Island. Now, Governors Island presents a number of unique challenges. It is high density, but it also has vast fields so it can simulate a rural environment. There are historic monuments that can't be disturbed, so much like the rest of the country, the installation of 5G on Governors Island has to work around some of these physical challenges, which made it a great test bed in 2017 and 2018, for what the city of New York calls their NYCX Moonshot Challenge.
Moonshot being, it's really hard to do, but the benefits could pay off dramatically. So for businesses, what this means is that, like I said a moment ago, 5G will enable a lot of really cool technologies like IoT, AR, VR, and a bunch of other stuff that we really even can't conceptualize right now. You just think about the difference that having fiber, being able to plug in a high speed cable into your computer versus those dial up speeds. It just enabled a whole new world of technology. 5G could do the same thing for mobile networks, but right now the reality of 5G is that it is still very hard to install and will take a long time even though we're hearing advertising and marketing about it right now, it will take a very long time for most people in the United States and Europe to have 5G networks.
Karen: Dan, with the hype, as you mentioned, a lot of the positive things that we hear about will eventually come with 5G, but so too will the negatives. There's concerns about security and privacy and all that kind of thing...especially with so many IoT devices we expect to have in our homes here in short order. All of that data being produced. So talk a little about the security and privacy concerns.
Dan: So there are a number of cybersecurity concerns with 5G. One of the biggest right now, and again, you can read about this on CBSNews.com by simply searching Huawei is that most of the hardware, the equipment that we will rely on for 5G here in the United States is built by a Huawei. That Huawei is a Chinese company that has been linked to, again, in our reporting and others, to the Chinese government in ways that could undermine, business, government and consumers here in the United States. Some of this is a little amorphous, but if you think about the implications of all of your data running through a network that is harvested and sent back to any one government.
Not to pick on the Chinese government, it could be any government, but this is one that has expressed strong favor towards managed capitalism and has a significant amount of human rights abuse on the record. Having all data potentially captured by a company that is friendly to this government presents a lot of challenges. If you imagine, if you're a business, your intellectual property, there are high stakes with securing your intellectual property. And of course, consumers have data privacy concerns as well.
Karen: An enormous amount of infrastructure is needed in order for 5G to be successfully deployed, so we'll be watching these developments closely. We appreciate your insight Dan. For more on 5G, what you need to know, be sure to check out TechRepublic and ZDNet.


They say it can't happen.
But this ultimate challenge of Roe v. Wade should have women everywhere very concerned.
Yesterday we explored the motives of the "No Tax Payer for Abortion Act" and the "Protect Life Act"-- the same day the "Ohio Hearbeat Bill" was being unleashed.
The bill will do exactly what it says-- make an abortion illegal if a heartbeat can be detected. This means six weeks at most, but as early as 18 days for some.
The "Heartbeat Bill" is one of five others pertaining to abortion that Ohio has introduced just this week. In a partnership with the "pro-life" group Faith 2 Action (an openly homophobic Christian organization) the state has crawled into bed with the church.
What we have here is a government body occupied with a moral agenda. So call me a Dixie Chick, but with women's rights under attack, I'm really ashamed to be from the state of Ohio.
The heart is the first organ to develop, which inspired the tactics and wording of the bill.
However, that doesn't mean the fetus with the beating heart is viable. And it certainly closes the window of opportunity to have an abortion, which currently gives women at least a trimester (3 months) to make a decision, depending on the state.
Viability-- when a fetus can survive outside the womb-- is legally defined at seven months. This "Heartbeat Bill" is transparently trying to make abortion illegal before many women even realize they're pregnant.
This is by far the worst anti-abortion strategy yet. With their strength in numbers, republicans know now is the time to act-- one right-revoking act at a time.
But, like Tupac said -- "Since a man can't make one, he has a right to tell a woman when and where to create one."
Resistance is necessary. We must let these politicians know we refuse to be reduced to broodmares for the state.
So sign the petition and tell conservative republicans, once again, to keep their laws off our bodies.
And keep your head up, ladies. Things WILL get easier.
Hey Kate - you probably don't know me but I was the president of OWI in 2008-2009. I just wanted to tell you how amazing I think your blog is, and how much I love having a connection to feminism at BGSU again. It's not always easy to be a feminist there and see our politics go the way it goes. Anyway, keep up the good work; you have a friend in San Jose if you ever need one!
P.S. I noticed you derby. That's awesome.


IF you wanted to get a deeper understanding of why we are in the mess that we are in and why we are unlikely to come out of it (since we are solving the problems with the same mindset that created them), you need not read tomes. You just need to read four pages of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago Fed letter for October 2012 blandly titled, 'How to keep markets safe in the era of high-speed trading'.
'Speed', 'Instantaneous' – the great instant gratification trip of the human race in the last three decades (esp.) is going to be its ultimate destruction weapon.
It is a very profound piece of research on not just high-speed/algorithmic trading but on every aspect of how we conduct our lives and businesses and how society/economies have come to organise themselves.
Each sentence (or, sentences) is pregnant with meaning and possibilities.
High-frequency trading is a made-to-order systemic disaster, all for few extra bucks. The reason why risk controls are overlooked is that the greater the volume of orders, the greater the gains since the per share gain is miniscule.
Amazing chutzpah on the part of market participants to suggest that regulators are responsible for setting risk control parameters and to ensure compliance with those parameters! Then, they will call for free-market, self-regulation and engage in regulatory capture.
Some of the Broker-dealers and Futures traders have equity stake in the Exchanges. How will exchanges impose risk controls on its members? So much for arms-length and Chinese walls.
This is the best piece of research you can read in 2012.
It documents why we have become our own Frankenstein monsters.
TGS had failed to blog on this article by Ms. Sheila Bair written in April 2012 dripping with sarcasm. It exposes the intellectual vacuum in policy and academic circles (many exceptions, of course). Sad part is that QE3 still happened. Now, her book is about to be released on Tuesday. This link cites her remarks on some personalities on Wall Street and the Treasury. Enjoyable. More highlights of the book here, here, here and here.
America still has the people with which to re-generate itself, if it sets its heart and mind to it.
Well, well, well. In the face of economic hardship, young Americans are coming back home to live with parents. In the name of independence and self-interest, they secularized the joint family culture. Now, they are forced to return to it. Can they fit in, again?
This is wonderful news for cancer patients.
Dead in five years – a Baosteel project in China.
A very insightful (and long) article on Robert Rubin by William Cohan. He comes across neither as a saint nor as a sinner. That is how most of us are. Most cases, there are no outright villains or heroes. This is one more fascinating reminder of that.
While you read the linked FT article on how hedge fund managers look at the Federal Reserve QE 3 (correctly re-labelled QE Infinity), do not forget to read Andrew Garthwaite's remarks. After that, if you look for the nearest wall to bang your head on, I won't blame you. The mechanical interpretation of the impact of previous episodes of QE on stocks is frustratingly dumb. Stocks had different starting points – in terms of valuation – then compared to now. Now, markets need one QE announcement a day to keep rallying. This is classic addiction at a very advanced stage.
One should not waste much time on a report like this: 'Consumer confidence in the U.S. raises to a 7-month high' because how consumers feel about their lives and the economy is simply a function of the amount of 'gold in their pocket'. A rising stock market correlates neatly, highly and always with consumers feeling confident.
CNN shortlists ten heroes for 2012. Most of them have converted personal tragedies into opportunities to serve others. Of course, lest I be misunderstood, the first is no pre-condition is for the second.
Indians and Asians do not need to apply. H….mmm. Well, at least they are being honest about their intentions. Not much point in hiring them first and treating them badly next, right?
The Queen asked the right question.
Any genuine reformer will jump from his chair or see his heart beat a lot faster or his eyes would pop out on reading the above. 'Inability to cut prices'?; 'Strategy to prop up the sector'? and this is the economy booster? Shame on us.
Similarly, the 'bailout package' that the Government has come up with for the restructuring of the losses of State utilities (electricity distribution companies or 'discom's in the Indian parlance) is another anti-reform exercise.
According to the restructuring plan, states will be part of tripartite agreements signed to implement the debt recast. SEBs will also promise to revise tariffs regularly and in correlation with their costs, besides working to reduce theft, transmission and billing losses from the present levels of 27%.
Yes, State governments will revise tariffs as frequently as the Government of India revises prices of petroleum products.
Comments made by CEOs of some of the banks exposed to Indian DISCOMs are marvellous for their 'see no problem; speak no problem' attitude.
A loan recast package without any effort to address the underlying causes that gave rise to the unviability of DISCOMs is not economic reform.
The Indian government's recent reforms to reduce government subsidies and embrace greater foreign direct investment were unexpected and bold.
This indifference to high inflation and the opportunistic, rather than serious, effort to roll back high government spending may yet come back to haunt the Indian economy in the future.
Actually, if one stepped back and thought over Government of India's actions over the last two weeks, they have been motivated by the same mindset that had characterised their functioning over the last eight years: Short-term imperatives and let long-term consequences be damned. R. Jagannathan got it very right in his comment in 'Firstpost'.
I caught this MINT article on how fat fingers or algorithmic traders might have exacerbated the recent crash in the Brent crude oil price. This means that the recent price will reverse itself. Second, it is a reminder, if one were needed, that these algorithmic trades are a menace to the market, along with several other menaces that policymakers have created.
David Rosenberg wrote yesterday that there is now a 74% correlation between S&P 500 index returns and the Federal Reserve balance-sheet. There you go. If evidence were needed of phantom and paper gains being created by Ben Bernanke, you got it now.
But, we are digressing. In this particular instance, India might not regret the impact that algorithmic traders have caused. India would love to see global oil prices crash. But, their potential for destabilising disruption is powerful. Andrew Haldane, Executive Director of the Bank of England, has provided some wonderful research on the systemic dangers posed by algorithmic trading. His paper, 'Race to zero' is worth reading and reflecting upon. There is no place for it in India. It should be banned. Period.
As the CFTC Commissioner has correctly observed, it aids neither in hedging nor in price discovery. Amen.
My weekly column in MINT is on the Government of India 'reform' measures announced last Thursday and Friday.
I had previously, in these pages, defended the decision to open up multi-brand retail to foreign investment. I still do. I just do not think that it would do much to change the growth-inflation dynamic near-term. International evidence is scanty at best. But, given the heightened sensitivities in India to foreign investment in retail, I hope the investors are more sensitive of local concerns. It is in their own self-interest. I think doomsday scenarios for India's petty and small traders are overblown. The government has done well to leave it to the States. Of course, there is always the dnager that politicians cannot be bought out. India might turn out to be a more useful case-study for the rest of the world on the impact of hypermarts on local retail practices and players.
I like the Business Standard edit on the manner in which the reduction in subsidised cylinders was achieved 'successfully'. I put it under quotes because there are rumours that the Government might increase the number to 10 from 6. I hope they remain and die as rumours. Nonetheless, it is important to highlight success stories in implementing reforms/change. It is as important to learn from successes as it is to learn from failures. This should be a business-school case study.
One of the most important/best articles I have read this year: "Complete confusion between principal and principle". Well said. Check out the comments. It is worth the effort.
Former Indian Finance Minister (and BJP leader) Yashwant Sinha's piece on the media faithfuls of the government feigning short-term and long-term memory loss. Article is from August 29th but well worth a read.
For once, I agree with this edit in THE HINDU on the Indian government's so-called economic reform measures announced over Thursday and Friday.
FT Beyondbrics blog post on the mysteriously large net FII inflows into India. It makes sense to me.
Financial Express interviews Professor Arvind Panagariya on the release of the second edition of his book – edited by him and Prof. Bhagwati. He does not buy the argument that coalition politics explains economic paralysis (or, if I may add, with wrong economic decisions) in India. I agree.


Check your home for earthquake hazards. FEMA has an informative poster you can download and use as an earthquake preparation checklist. This will help you secure items like water heaters, tall furniture, fixtures and more. If you own your home, assess your structure and enlist a professional to help you fix any weak areas.
Use a portable container to stash emergency supplies like drinking water, nonperishable food, blankets and first-aid supplies. If the earthquake is severe, you could be cut off from emergency assistance for several days. Create a kit for each car you own.
The next way to stay safe during an earthquake is to create an emergency plan. You may not all be together when an earthquake happens, so talk with your family members about where to go in the event of an emergency. Have an evacuation plan in place that includes possible safe spots in different directions since you won't know which routes are navigable. Designate an out-of-state contact person whom everyone knows how to reach in the event cell communication is disabled and you are unable to connect with each other. This FEMA guide will help you create a family emergency communication plan you can share and practice.
Pets are members of the family too. Prepare a ready-to-go animal emergency pack. Many shelters don't accept pets other than service animals, so review lists of hotels that are pet-friendly in the event you must evacuate. Place stickers on your windows so emergency responders know you have pets. Make sure your pets wear proper identification and current tags at all times. Having current photos of your pet handy on your phone will be helpful if they go missing and you need to alert others.
Practice DROP, COVER, HOLD ON. If you're indoors during an earthquake, stay there. As soon as you sense shaking, drop to your hands and knees so you aren't knocked off balance. Cover your head and neck. If possible, crawl under a sturdy table or get near an interior wall. Hold on to whatever you're using for shelter. Be mindful of furniture that could fall on you. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers additional tips for specific rooms.
If you're outside when an earthquake starts, stay there. Do not try to get inside, and stay away from buildings. Avoid utility and fuel lines. Get to an open area and down on your hands and knees as soon as possible. Cover your head and neck. If you're in a vehicle, stop safely and move to the side of the road, away from wires and under- or overpasses. Stay in your car and use the radio for emergency alerts.
If your home or area has incurred damage, look for hazards like fires, gas leaks, exposed wiring and unstable structures that could cause further damage or injury. Just be careful of your surroundings because aftershocks are common.
We hope you never experience an earthquake, but if you do, your Farm Bureau agent will be there to assist in your time of need.
