Atlanta attorney Claud "Tex" McIver was indicted on murder charges Thursday following months of investigation by Fulton County prosecutors convinced the shooting of his wife was no accident.
A Fulton grand jury returned an indictment after hearing several weeks of evidence, District Attorney Paul Howard said in a press release. McIver is charged with malice murder, felony murder and five other counts in the September 2016 death of Diane McIver.
TIMELINE: Events in the McIver case
RELATED: Bond revoked, McIver jailed
Police had charged him with reckless conduct and involuntary manslaughter, suggesting he didn't mean to pull the trigger.
McIver's behavior after the murder appeared to be a major factor in bringing the new charges. According to the charging documents, McIver instructed Patricia "Dani Jo" Carter, a friend of his wife who was driving the couple when the shooting occurred, to tell police she wasn't there.
Less than two weeks later, on October 6, the indictment states, McIver left a voicemail with Carter's husband, Thomas Carter, asking him to stop his wife from "communicating her recollections of the facts and circumstances of the death of Diane McIver to law enforcement officers, because said statements placed the defendant at imminent risk of immediate incarceration." He then asked Thomas Carter to delete that voicemail.
The indictment also alleges that McIver told Bill Crane, who was acting as a spokesman immediately after the shooting, to retract a statement made to media.
At the time, Crane told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that when the McIvers pulled off the interstate, Tex McIver feared they had happened upon a Black Lives Matter protest. That's why he pulled out the gun, he said. Crane said the gun went off soon after when their SUV hit a bump.
McIver was sent to jail on Wednesday after a judge revoked his bond following the discovery of a pistol in his condo.
Now facing murder charges, McIver will be held with no possibility for bond until his case is assigned to a Fulton Superior Court judge. He'll be arraigned shortly thereafter.
McIver was also indicted for attempting to unlawfully influence witnesses in his case. Each counts carries a sentence of two to 10 years in prison.
McIver's attorney, Stephen Maples, said he was disappointed with the prosecutor's decision.
"He has cooperated with every step of this investigation," Maples said.
"He sat down with police and when they requested financial records he provided them. The Atlanta Police Department did not find any evidence of murder and refused to charge him with it."
Maples said the case would hinge on forensic evidence from the SUV where the shooting took place, which he said would exonerate his client.

Project Introduction
The study examined the attitudes and perspectives of schoolteachers, school principals and other stakeholders towards the implementation of novel features of the primary education curriculum and new principles and practices of assessment at mainstream schools in Kazakhstan. The overall research strategy was based on breaking the research focus on attitudes, perceptions and experiences of schoolteachers, deputy principals and school principals and other major stakeholders into five discrete elements. The five topics were:
- The aims and goals of the curriculum
- The content of the curriculum
- New modes of assessment
- The overall experience of implementing the new elements and this includes the management of change and support towards implementing this.
The qualitative data showed that many teachers and head teachers saw the new curriculum as a significant change in thinking and practice, or as one school principal of a pilot school said, 'We have had change before but this is a paradigm shift.' Some of the findings of the study include the following. Collaboration had increased and teachers were collaborating within and between schools. This was highly valued. The collaboration was between teacher and teachers, student assistants and teacher, between schools and it took many forms. The teachers were engaging in joint planning, co teaching, observations of each other, training sessions and team teaching. To school teachers, this was very new in many cases. Looking at urban-rural differences, the perception of urban and rural teachers about the content of the new curriculum is similar for all components of the curriculum. However, as the Principal Investigator of the project at Nazarbayev University, Dr.Kairat Kurakbayev, states "the background of students in urban and rural schools prompted different attitudes towards the content of the curriculum". There was a notable statistically significant difference from rural to urban locations in the teachers' perceptions of the difficulty of the curriculum. Rural teachers considered that the difficulty of the curriculum is less adequate for the majority of the students compared to their urban counterparts. More specifically, 66% of urban teachers agreed or strongly agreed that the difficulty of the new curriculum is at the right level for students, compared to 54% of rural teachers. As a related issue to the rural-urban difference above, some teachers' attitudes towards the difficulty of the content of the curriculum appeared to stem from the importance of preschool education and the preparation of children for school. Due to uneven preschool opportunities and experiences, this presents problems across a class or in some cases for whole groups as children adapt to the school environment. Discussing the practice of using new ways of assessing students' academic achievement, it is worth noting that teachers implementing the renewed primary curriculum have developed a more sophisticated understanding of purposes and benefits of different techniques of assessing students. As Dr. Liz Winter, a researcher of the University of Cambridge Faculty of Education and a member of the study noted, "content analysis of the open response data from the surveys on the purposes of assessment showed a statistically signific

I have a broken prong on my oil pressure switch, a common problem when reading these posts. I called the local Kubota dealer and he has never heard of Westerbeke or Universal, he needs the Kubota 10 digit part #. The Westerbeke # is 37323 for my M25XPB engine. Can someone help me and cross reference this Westerbeke #? There are many posts here about the issues with this switch, but alternates are not mentioned..... other than see your Kubota dealer. I tried NAPA and Part Source, they looked at me like I had 3 eyes.Thanks in advance.

I took another fabulous workshop from Douglas Sonders, a local professional photographer that has created some very interesting commercial work – from cars to celebrities and from ads to covers. After taking his class on off camera lighting, I now realize how much impact just one and up to as little as three lights can have on your shot. Prior to this understanding, I had looked at some of Doug's work and erroneously assumed he had manipulated the shot in post-production with Photoshop. While that may be the case on some of his work, I witnessed how he built a photo composition one light at a time to generate an amazing photograph using a student from the class and things in the environment, both inside the classroom studio and outside in the parking lot. The preview of the photo on his camera was near perfect with little or no post touchup action required.
Before setting up, Doug, first, walked us through the various equipment. In many cases, there really isn't a need to spend a lot on lights, and you may be able to find much of what he used on ebay or craigslist. A basic setup includes the lighting stand, the light itself, transmitters to sync the flashes, and a couple light modifiers. For transmitters, Pocket Wizards, Radio Poppers, and Cactus transmitters seem to be popular. You will need at least a pair, one for the first external flash and one on your camera hot shoe. Additional devices are needed for more lights, obviously. Next, the setup requires the actual lights, themselves. The brand Doug uses are made by White Lighting, but Alien Bee makes more affordable models that produce similar results. Finally, the basic setup is completed with light modifiers, like beauty dishes with honeycomb grids, reflectors, soft boxes, and umbrellas. It's not necessary to buy all of this equipment, though. In fact, websites like borrowlenses.com will rent them to you for various durations.
My favorite composition of the day was shot outside with a student leaning against a car. Doug used one 3200 watt light with a beauty dish and wide honeycomb grid on the subject's face, one 3200 watt light with a reflector from behind and to the right of the subject, and one additional light with a reflector aimed on the rear car light that was on the opposite side of the car from the subject. Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of that photo, but we did set up an environmental shot in a supply room in a similar way, adding a fog machine to accentuate the directional aspect of the lights and lights in the background on modeling mode (a softer light used for posing) to tell the story of the photo. By the time I got to shoot the subject with my camera and the lighting setup, the fog machine had created too much of a haze to get a clear photo. My shot isn't terrible, though. I could have been a bit lower to the ground.
What you can see, though, is the impact of the light that frames out his face, and the rear reflector light that highlights his shoulders and hair to make him, the subject, stand out from a noisy background. Neat, right? Now I just need to recruit some people, rent some equipment, and practice!

It happens, and you know it. Always at the worst time. Somebody goes down with a bug, their whole department follows – and suddenly you're losing business hand over fist.
So what's it going to cost? Thousands? Millions? How many tight-deadline jobs have you got riding on that team? And how about the penalty clauses?
Yeah, well – you bite the bullet because you have to. Fact of life, right? People get sick, it's that time of year, you were just unlucky.
Getting sick is NOT the norm
Actually, no. A lot of the time it's preventable.
And you're not unlucky, just in the dark about how to prevent sickness most of the time. Unaware you could save thousands, avoiding sick pay and enforced downtime costs – simply by deploying the right health protection.
Makes you mad though, doesn't it? Mad and helpless.
How can you let one tiny microbe – so small you can't even see it – cause an on-the-ball, successful organisation like yours into a tight financial squeeze, when you should be raking in the pounds?
Well the good news is, you're not entirely helpless.
You can't stop a sickness that somebody brings in from outside. But you CAN minimise its effect – and reduce the chances of staff cross-infecting each other.
Sterilise and save
All it needs is to sterilise your place so no germs can survive. Generate a zero threshold so that staff walk in tomorrow morning to a GERM-FREE environment. No viruses, no bacteria, no mould, no fungi – right throughout their workplace. No more losing business either
It's easily done too. And quick.
Wheel in a Hypersteriliser and you're looking at around 40 minutes to make the average room safe and secure.
It works by misting up the place with a mild, 6% preparation of hydrogen peroxide, the same germ-fighter our own bodies produce, but ionised to boost performance.
The ionising does three things:
- Causes the stuff to disperse rapidly in all directions. Electrostatically charged so it tries to get away from itself. Spreading right throughout the empty air in the room. Fetching hard up against all surfaces, behind and underneath them. Penetrating deep into cracks.
- Makes the stuff work like a magnet against germs. Its static charge reaching out to grab oppositely charged viruses and bacteria, clutching them in a vice grip.
- Triggers the release of other antimicrobials in addition to hydrogen peroxide. Hydroxyl radicals, oxygen species, nitrogen species, ozone and ultraviolet – every one an efficient germ-killer.
The killing is done by oxygen. Storming atoms of it released on contact that rip apart germ cells and send them to oblivion. All that's left is oxygen and water, in such small quantities it evaporates before it touches anything.
Germs down, margins up
The result?
99,9999% of ALL germs destroyed. A Sterility Assurance Level of Log 6. Your workplace is a desert – devoid of germs, pathogens, bugs or whatever you like to call them.
Of course when your staff breeze in next morning with their flat whites and Danishes, they'll bring all their usual germs with them. Because each of us has our own germ cloud in tow all the time. And yes, one of them could transfer some germs to others.
Except that happens all the time, especially on the bus or tube on the way to work. And our immune systems just take it in their stride. Same old, same old, everyday stuff. No problem.
And in the zero threshold of your newly sterile workplace, any incoming germs have to work from scratch to repopulate the place – not add to the teeming billions still there from the last several days. Who's losing business to sickness now?
But what if…
Yeah, OK. So your top sales performer comes back from Dubai with a first class case of MERS. If you haven't packed her off to bed for a few days quarantine, there's still less chance for her germs to spread because the threshold is low.
And any lingering possibilities will be zapped by the nightly mist-up anyway. Back to zero in the morning – less exposure, less risk. Still less chance of losing business.
Sure people get sick for all kinds of reasons. You've just never thought about it before. Or about the money you're losing without thinking about it either.
But now people don't need to get sick. Not on your watch. And not in your workplace.
Not when you can chop a whole load of costs to nothing by protecting their health.

It may be cool to have appliances and other parts of your home connected to the internet, but there is the downside of security vulnerabilities to deal with.
Modern homes are getting internet-connected light bulbs, thermostats, TVs and speakers. So with a simple voice command or the touch of a button on our smartphones, we can set the temperature, turn on a light or prepare the TV to record a program.
What could go wrong?
A lot more than most people are prepared for, it turns out. If one of these devices gets hijacked, hackers could potentially snoop around for sensitive data like financial or health information. Or they could use a network of compromised devices to perform a widespread attack that takes down major websites, which is what happened in October.
"There's still this whole sort of, 'Gee whiz, it's so cool' thing that's going on" with internet-connected home appliances, said Lee Tien, a lawyer for the Electronic Frontier Foundationa nonprofit that focuses on digital rights. "That's also what often gets us into trouble."
So it behooves us to get ahead of the curve by securing our home appliances, using these tips from security experts who have closely studied smart home accessories.
Research before buying: When shopping for an internet-connected home device like a smart speaker, lighting system or television set, a good rule of thumb is to go with a trusted brand.
Larger, well-regarded companies like Amazon.com or Google have a background in developing products with security in mind, said Liviu Arsene, an analyst for Bitdefender, which sells security hardware for protecting smart home accessories. Before buying a product, consumers should do a web search on it to see if the company regularly issues software updates that fix security vulnerabilities, he said.
People should also carefully read company privacy policies. David Britton, a vice president in the fraud and identity department of Experian, the credit-reporting agency, said people should be curious about whether companies themselves were a threat to user privacy.
"What are they capturing about you?" he said. "Is the data leaving the device? Is it being sent back to the mothership?"
Amazon said its Alexa smart assistant, used in its Echo speakers, automatically downloads software updates to defend against new security threats. Data from the Echo is also uploaded to Amazon's servers only after people utter the wake word "Alexa," the company said. That minimizes the likelihood that the device will record conversations unrelated to requests intended for Alexa.
Google said its Home speaker similarly issued regular software updates and employed advanced security features, like a technique that disables the device if its software is tampered with. The company added that the speaker processed speech only after the words "OK Google" or "Hey Google" were detected.
Strengthen Wi-Fi security: Your Wi-Fi network is the pulse of your smart home, making it a vulnerable attack point. Britton and Arsene suggest connecting all your smart home accessories onto a Wi-Fi network separate from the one connected to your computing devices, like your smartphone, tablet and computer.
With two distinct Wi-Fi networks, it will be harder for a hacker to jump from infiltrating your smart accessory on one network to a personal computer on the other network, Arsene said.
The easiest way to create a second Wi-Fi network is to make a guest network. Many modern Wi-Fi routers, like TP-Link's Archer C7, include the ability to host a network for guests that uses a name and password different from that of your primary network.
Beef up passwords: The same security principles for websites apply to the so-called Internet of Things. You should set strong, unique passwords for logging in to each device you own. If you recycle your passwords and one device is compromised, the others can be, too.
A strong password can be a random string of characters or a nonsensical phrase with numbers and special characters.
If you cannot memorize your passwords, that is a good thing: That means they are hard for hackers to crack. Keep them written down on a piece of paper and stored in a safe place, or store your passwords in a password-managing app like 1Password or LastPass.
Audit for updates: While reputable manufacturers of smart-home accessories offer software updates to patch security vulnerabilities, it is often up to the consumer to stay on top of them. Because it lacks a screen, a smart light bulb or an internet-connected power socket is going to have a tough time informing you that it needs a software update.
Britton and Arsene recommend that consumers regularly log in to the mobile apps or websites for their smart home accessories to check if they need software updates. If updates are available, install them immediately.
Hit mute: Among security researchers, putting a piece of tape over a computer webcam has become a tongue-in-cheek recommendation for those who are extra paranoid about their privacy. (Even Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's chief executive, does it.)
With smart speakers like the Amazon Echo and Google Home, there is an equivalent: a mute button to disable the device microphone so it can no longer listen. In the unlikely event that a device is hijacked, muting the microphone could help prevent hackers from listening to your conversations, Britton said.

Artist: Juan Gris (1887–1927)
Image: The Smoker (here)
Expressionism was initially in poetry and painting
Its typical trait is to present the world solely from
a subjective perspective, distorting it radically for
emotional effect in order to evoke moods or ideas
Expressionist artists sought to express the meaning
of emotional experience rather than physical reality.
Why must I be subjected to such creation
Distorted by design than by choice of angst
Of traumatic proportions much maligned
Why must I be tendered as an exhibit
Desensitized without trite of conscience
Holding the ford for a generation of artists
Wrought to non-conforming traits and tendencies
Not aligned to straight lines nor realities of
perspectives to space and distances
I am to carry the flag of so-called modern art
devoid of semblance of physical likeness
but rather to account for subjective emotions
that elicited curiosity initially but later of wonder
Of how graphically emotions in stark contrasts
were presented without batting an eye-lid
In the process I am now typically seen and
savored as a masterpiece worth millions

Why must I be subjected to such creation
8 comments:
People sure can see many a thing in what looks to be something done by a child, but to each their own.ReplyDelete
But it's emotions worth millions... and it's true to the heart.ReplyDelete
This is my favorite kind of art because the emotions are similar to poetry. Nice work.ReplyDelete
It is nice to view oneself as a masterpiece worth millions. We probably all are.ReplyDelete

Wonder-filled touch upon a person... upon us all.ReplyDelete
A most touching poem Hank. Congrats on capturing such a creation.ReplyDelete
That's abstract modern art for you...subject to anyone's interpretation ~ReplyDelete
To become, because of pain, an expressionistic work of art and seen but not understood by others is a scary thought.ReplyDelete

Post Diwali De-tox for skin and hair
By Tarry
Hola my lovelies….
So finally, we are back after a wonderful Diwali weekend. Seriously people, Diwali is such a hectic time indeed…. Apart from celebrations, we get to meet so many friends whom otherwise we barely find time too.
Anyways, we are back and kicking… And starting off the week is a post Diwali detox post for both skin and hair. And interestingly, these detox recipes come in from what you got in Diwali and perhaps is lying as leftovers or you can simply keep them aside for a while.
Btw, I took all the photographs from the internet as I barely had some time in hand to click pix although all the recipes shared here have been tried and tested by me… So be sure of them…
Skin :
|Indian Lifestyle Blog / Post Diwali De-tox for skin and hair
Ok… Am sure you must have got almonds for Diwali… Whether as a gift or you bought them yourself for the puja or for garnishing the sweets. Now just keep a handful aside and grind them into a little grainy powder.
The pollution levels of Diwali surely play havoc with your skin and even if you have oily skin, it does look dull and patchy. Mix this almond powder with rose water and two drops of lemon juice (for oily skin) or mix it with raw milk/curd and honey (for normal to dry and even combination skin) and apply it on your face for 15 minutes. Wet your fingers and scrub this pack in circular motions on your face and neck for 2 to 3 minutes and then, wash off with lukewarm water.
Pat dry. You will see your skin rejuvenated, glowing and much clearer. Those with oily or normal skin can also skip moisturizer after this.

The second recipe for skin involves chocolates. Am sure most of us would have definitely got atleast two to three box full of chocolates. Now, pick the variants which say atleast 50 per cent cocoa. Or rather, it you have got the dark chocolates, nothing like it. Make this chocolate liquid by putting it in a double boiler. Add some powdered oats into the paste, and honey to make a thick paste. Apply all over your face and neck and wash off with a light scrubbing motion after 15 to 20 minutes. Fresh, lovable and kissable skin is back.

Hair :
So you had friends over for drink and dinner and have some Vodka left? Take it out girlies, because this is your armour for absolutely delightful hair. For those who have an oily scalp, mix a pint of vodka with juice of half a lemon (the famous lime cordial ;-) and apply on your scalp for 15 minutes. Wash off with your regular shampoo. Result…… Shiny streaky hair free from all build up and ready for the upcoming chill.
Those with normal or dry hair can use this. Mix a pint of vodka with a spoonful of honey and 6 drops of your favourite essential oil. Apply on the scalp and even hair and wash off with your favourite shampoo after 20 minutes. Results : Buildup free, soft lustrous hair.
See…. Simple na! Hope you all loved these cute little recipes that would definitely detox your skin and hair and prepare them well for the coming chilly season.
Hey! Stay tuned this week because we have a lot of exciting posts coming up and above all, a very very awesome giveaway that can make your winters awesome…

They not only pay more attention to their clothing but also pursue a better fashion touch through accessorizing their look by using wristwatches, belts, and wallets. The wallet is the must-have accessory for men, for the reason that it is both functional and fashionable for men. Lifestyles keep on changing, which is the same case for the trends of men wallets. However, what is the latest trend for men wallets? In the following, we will reveal it to you.
The latest men leather wallets trend 2018
Bifold wallet
As the name suggests, this kind of wallet is easily folded in the middle. Although it has a classic design, it is still trendy in 2018. But for this kind wallet, I prefer a leather one because it looks high-end and it is easy for you to combine it with your clothing.
Travel wallet organizer
If you want to look more classic when traveling, try this wallet. With it, you can not only easily keep track of your passport among other valuable travel documents but also keep it into the pocket as it doesn't take a lot of space.

Coin Wallet
Coin wallet is one of the important bags for men. It is still trendy in 2018 because of its functionality. Can you imagine carrying coins in your pocket without keeping them in a wallet? The sound they produce as they hit one another may make you feel embarrassed. In 2018, more stylish designs are available in the coin wallet providedBullcaptain, which looks chicer than before.
Accordion wallet
We all like those wallets that would keep our information well protected. This wallet consumes less space in your bag and with it; all your valuable information will be safe.

Stable Ground in a Time of Need
At age 14, Vaneta ran away from a very troubled home. Young, scared, and now homeless, Vaneta ended up at The Relatives, where she met Vann, who has over the years become, in a way, the loving mother she never had.
Although her journey was rocky, Vaneta always felt supported by Vann and United Way programs, like YWCA and The Relatives. With their support, she followed her passion and became a special needs teacher.
Vaneta is a proud high school and college graduate because of people like Vann and organizations like United Way. Vann cared enough to intervene at critical moments during Vaneta's education, when she came close to dropping out. When Vaneta was homeless, United Way made sure her life didn't become a downward spiral because multiple agencies provided her with a safe place to live until she could reach stable ground.
All it took was one person. Just one person, to forge a lasting connection.

Association Rule Mining on Streams
- 13 Downloads
Let I = {i1, …, im} be a set of items. Let S be a stream of transactions in a sequential order where each transaction is a subset of I. For an itemset X, which is a subset of I, a transaction T in S is said to contain the itemset X if X ⊆ T. The support of X is defined as the fraction of transactions in S that contain X. For a given support threshold s%, X is frequent if the support of X is greater than or equal to s%, i.e., if at least s% transactions in S contain X. For a given confidence threshold c%, an association rule X ⇒ Y holds if X ∪ Y is frequent and at least c% of transactions in S that contain X also contain Y. The problem of association rule mining on streams is to discover all association rules that hold in a stream of transactions.
Historical Background
In 1993, Rakesh Agrawal et al. [1] proposed the framework for association rule mining. Since this seminal work, a lot of research work has been done to improve the efficiency of association rule mining...

The story is told that when Luqmaan's (A.S.) Master bought him, the other slaves looked upon him as being despicable. One day the Master sent all of them into the garden to pick fruit. All the slaves started eating the fruit. They ate to their heart's delight and went to inform the Master that Hazrat Luqmaan (A.S.) had eaten the fruit. This made the Master very much displeased with Luqmaan (A.S.).
Hazrat Luqmaan (A.S.) advised the Master: "Please investigate this matter thoroughly. I did not eat the fruit. I will tell you of a plan which will prove who the culprits were. The whole truth will become clear to you. Make preparations for hunting".
From the stable the Master ordered that horses be brought. The Master sat down on his horse. Then Hazrat Luqmaan (A.5.) said: "Proceed speedily in the direction of the desert. But before you proceed give everyone of the slaves, warm water to drink. Let everyone drink himself to the full with warm water. Very soon you will discover who the real culprits are".
The result was that when those who had eaten the fruit were forced to run along, the quick movements caused them to start vomiting. That was because after drinking hot water, the fast movements caused their stomachs to become even more heated. Moreover the path they trod which led to the desert was an uneven one, with ups and downs. This made vomiting unavoidable. In the vomit, the signs of their having eaten the fruit was quite clear, because the time which passed since they had eaten was too short for the fruit to be digested. Hazrat Luqmaan (A.S.) did not vomit as there was no fruit in his stomach.
Through the wise plan of Hazrat Luqmaan (A.S.) all the slaves were put to shame and were embarrassed. The Master became very pleased with the wisdom of the plan and as a result
Luqmaan (A.S.) became a favourite of the Master. Maulana Rumi (R.A.) says:
"When such is the wisdom of Luqmaan (AS.), Imagine the wisdom of the True Master of all".

Have you ever noticed how intelligent people prefer to stay alone? It wasn't uncommon for geniuses throughout history to stay alone and we've all been wondering why. Well, according to recent scientific research, there is a reason behind it.
It's a well-known fact that exercise can reduce anxiety and that staying away from social media can improve our emotional well-being. Spending time in nature brings joy to most people, just like being around friends. That is unless you're highly intelligent.
Intelligent people don't socialize like the rest of us, and a recent scientific paper backed up this previously unsupported claim. Satoshi Kanazawa and Normal Li are the two scientists behind the paper that has revealed that intelligent people are not so fond of socializing with friends. The findings were rooted in evolutionary psychology, suggesting that our minds evolved as a quality for solving tough challenges. Highly intelligent people solved problems much better when they were alone instead of getting help from friends. Geniuses also feel much better when alone.
The Link Between Friendship, Population Density, Intelligence and Modern Happiness
After analyzing nearly 16,000 people aged 18-28 on life satisfaction, health and intelligence, the research found out that being around dense groups of people leads to unhappiness while socializing with a selected group of friends brings happiness unless you're highly intelligent.
The Savanna Theory of Happiness
Li and Kanazawa explain their findings by summoning the so-called savanna theory of happiness. This idea is based on one's life satisfaction not only based on current happenings, but also on our ancestor's reaction in the past. This theory stems from evolutionary psychology, suggesting that our brains evolved and adapted to environmental conditions before society developed agriculture. This is why our brains can't respond well to the unique conditions of modern society.
The authors of the study recognized 2 key factors unique to the modern era – population density and how frequently people socialize. Nowadays, we live in a world with a pretty dense population, much denser than what our ancestors experienced. We also spend less time with people than our ancestors, which means that most people are happier with what comes naturally for them – spending less time with people and more time with friends.
This, however, doesn't apply to highly intelligent people. "Usually, geniuses have "unnatural" preferences not seen in our ancestors," Kanazawa says. "It's natural for humans to seek out friends, but highly intelligent people are more likely to seek less."
Geniuses don't even benefit from friendships like most people, even though they socialize more than less intelligent people.
The key area of the research focused on why we adapted to the quality of intelligence. According to scientists, intelligence evolved as a personality trait for problems solving. Our ancestors needed friends in order to survive – however, highly intelligent individuals were able to solve challenges completely on their own, which effectively diminished the need for friends.
So, if you know someone who can solve problems on his own without help from friends, they're not weird – they may be highly intelligent.
Historically, humans lived in groups of 150 people or more. In the Neolithic Age, villages were about this size. The population density is much higher now and is believed to bring isolation and depression as it's getting harder and harder to foster healthy relationships. The busy lifestyle of today doesn't seem to affect highly intelligent people, though – they're pretty fine on their own. As Kanazawa explains, the higher average intelligence in cities compared to rural areas is most like due to the fact that highly intelligent people can live in unnatural areas with high population density.
Not Wanting to Hang Out Doesn't Make You A Genius
Of course, not liking to be around friends doesn't mean you're a genius. Although highly intelligent people have adapted to living in densely populated areas, it might be because of their chameleon nature which allows them to be comfortable in different situations.
This applies to the loners all of us know. These people aren't always lonely and depressed – as a matter of fact, they may be like that because of their high intelligence.

Madilyn Fletcher needs your help!
I will be walking in Pawmetto Lifeline's Bark to the Park Walk for the Animals on April 13, 2019 to help save homeless animals in our community. This is my fourth year to do this, and I will be helping captain DeeAnn Jones with the Fabulous Fosters Team! We represent the many dogs that need to spend some time in a foster home -- usually because they have just been saved from a shelter and need some supportive or medical care and confidence-building before going on to a permanent home with their adoptive family. Foster homes are a crucial step in saving these animals, and have enabled us to save the lives of literally thousands of pets that otherwise would not have had a future. We need help to build the pool of foster parents, provide necessary care supplies, and often medical support -- you can provide that help by walking with us or donating.
Foster dogs are wonderful, grateful creatures -- I have adopted 2 myself -- and they need our help!! I thank you for supporting our Fabulous Fosters Team and Bark to the Park!!

Hunter Wolf hot welcome …
Tremsbüttel. The wolves come back and the hunting community sees no problem. "We have nothing against the Wolf", said county Jägermeister Klaus Klemm: "If he comes, Is it okay." He spoke at the well-attended annual meeting of Stormarner hunters in the copper mill Rohlfshagen. Other invaders however, are not so welcome, which is also in contrast to the wolf were previously never felt at home here.
> shz.de
Wolf sightings in counties Osnabrück and Emsland - is the predator back?
Osnabrück / Meppen / Quakenbrück. Is he back? Was he just a short visit? Or was it just a stray dog? Wolfssichtungen in the districts of Emsland and Osnabrück can hope germinate, that the predator now in West Lower Saxony walk again, Pardon paw, summarizes.
Am 12. August 1740 expressed the sovereign Sagittarius Rolf Kramer from. And thus killed the last wolf in the old district Bersenbrück. It says so in historical sources. But now there is some evidence, that the descendants of the wolf have found their way back to the region. At least in Merzen a photo was taken from an animal, that looks quite similar to the predators.
The image went to Britta Habba, Wolf Representative in the country's hunters Lower Saxony . In recent years, she was able to announce a success message after another: the first wolf in the country. And another. And another one. And finally even the first pack. But up to the room Weser-Ems is no animal had ventured. At least it did not get caught.
Until now? Definitely Habba will not confirm, that it is in the animal in the photo to a wolf. "It could of course be a wolf, but it could also be another animal, For example, a dog ", the expert said last night at the AGM and Hege show of hunters Bersenbrück. There she showed the photo, that has made man in Merzen from the animal in question. In addition, a woman had reported, who claims to have seen a wolf in Rulle. "But even that has not been confirmed." Wolves are currently in Lower Saxony but generally "very mobile on the go". So you have to prove currently a pack as part of the so-called Wolf monitoring, among others, on the Munster Training Area, "Two parents with three puppies is traveling there".
"It could also be a dog", so the biologist. share the caution those responsible for the Wolf offices "lupus" from Saxony. In the east of the country have been a bit longer experience with the wild animals, once considered eradicated. From Eastern Europe they found their way back to Germany - and more recently in the West.
According to the Environment Ministry in Lower Saxony and Sachsen see in the photo is no "safe Wolf proof". but it is very likely, that a wolf had to be seen in the picture. What is needed, would be a so-called C1-proof . So clear proof is called for, that a wolf is on the way. About the result of a DNA analysis according to any one coat- or Kotfund. But as evidence does not yet exist in the Osnabrück region. And so it remains: In Lower Saxony there are eight proven Wolves. For such indications as from Merzen there are the C3 category, in all unconfirmed messages are summarized. In this area do fall, the messages from the Emsland, which our newspaper reached. Near Sögel and Meppen wolves were possibly been spotted. Neither Habba nor the Environment Ministry were yesterday confirm these sightings.
But the vice president of country hunters , Josef Schröer from Lingen, holds: "It is known, that young wolves leave their packs and set out on the move. Why should they of eastern Lower Saxony not strike and the Westward Expansion?"
On the part of hunters Bersenbrück it was yesterday: They welcome "EXPRESSLY the return of the wolf in the region", as Jägermeister Martin Meyer emphasized Lührmann.

The world
By Claus Christian Malzahn
– Resettlement of Junsele wolf started today
Employees of the conservation office and the state administrations of Västernorrland and Västerbotten today south caught Junsele-wolf of Åsele and anesthetized, to examine them for resettlement and to begin this. The vet has determined, that the animal has a good physical condition and is fit for transport. The weight of the she-wolf 38 kg, which is normal for the size of the animal. – When she wakes up, we start transport to resettlement place, said Magnus Kristofferson, Project manager at the Environmental Protection Agency. In a well-ventilated car, in which a separate space is a cage with, the transport takes place. The she-wolf has thereby no contact with people.

A farmer sensational snapshots are managed by a wolf in prey capture in the Goms. The identity of the animal should be clarified thanks to a DNA analysis in three weeks.
he had spotted at the weekend in the early morning the animal, as farmer Klaus Garbely declared to 1815.ch. "It was still half dark: The wolf was in the immediate vicinity of my Stalls - around 50 meters. He stood with his prey there and I seized the moment, to photograph him. "His girlfriend had discovered the animal first.
Garbely set out to make his way, whether a torn animal lying on the ground. "When I turned the corner, I saw the wolf while eating his prey - then I went back to the camera to pick up. The pictures I made then to the network portal Facebook.»
A queasy feeling left by the encounter with the predator the farmer. "No question, I was relatively close to it on the animal. "The farmer has several cows, but do not want to dramatize the situation, as he stressed to 1815.ch.
"I called the rangers, which is then passed and the animal also still got to face. "Garbely suspected, that the animal wanted to defend its prey and therefore not cleared the field, were as people around him.
male animal
This assumption is shared by the responsible gamekeeper Hubert Blatter. He, too, has seen the animal, as he declared to 1815.ch. The wolf was indeed not have been more on place, but he had around him on the basis of the tracks 200 can track meters and discovered him finally in the upper part of the forest with his prey.
"I have first place saliva- and fecal samples taken, which now must be analyzed to determine whether it is or a new animal to those Wolf, the last fall on the airfield Ulrichen a fawn has torn. "
The results are expected in three weeks. "Based on a photo by Klaus Garbely but you can tell, that it is a male ", Blatter continued.

Jeep and WSL Create Virtual Reality Surf Experience
Have you ever wanted to know what it looks like to ride massive waves like a pro surfer? The Jeep brand and the World Surf League (WSL) recently announced the release of the all-new virtual reality experience, Jeep Sessions: A Surfing Journey in 360°.
The new program gives users the chance to see exactly what pro surfers experience out on the water! It gives people an insight into how surfers manage to climb over waves, compete amongst other pros and it also shows the vehicles they use to get to different surf spots, which can come with some challengers.
"Our project goal was to push the boundaries of VR technology to show what a surf trip feels like from the first-person perspective," said director Taylor Steele. And the entire experience is captured beautifully by the Jeep brand and their direct collaboration with the World Surf League.
Fans of the Jeep brand and WSL can view the whole experience online in the video series that has recently premiered. Visit the Jeep.com/en/WSL to find out more information and see these incredible VR captures and additional footage!
The journey of WSL Championship Tour athletes and Jeep brand ambassadors, Jordy Smith and Malia Manuel, is open to anyone who wants to follow their journey surfing around the world. From France to Hawaii, their journey on the WSL Championship Tour is fully captured in amazing high-definition showcasing amazing shots of beaches, surfers and their exhilarating surfing runs over very high and intense waves.
Closer Look Into Pro Surfer Lifestyles with Jeep Brand Ambassadors
When in Oahu, Hawaii, every Jeep brand WSL ambassador has their own Jeep vehicle. From the all-new 2018 Jeep Wrangler to the new 2018 Jeep Renegade, they ride over beach sands and through the Hawaiian forests. These Jeep vehicles are able to handle the off-road routes through all of the beautiful Hawaiian areas showcased in these videos.
These videos highlight the lifestyle of these pro surfers with footage covering every angle. From the 360 degree shots in the ocean to how their Jeep vehicles handle driving over sands safely. Showcasing their equipment allows viewers to see how useful and wonderful these Jeep vehicles can be for them, though they might not be able to handle the waves quite like these pro surfers; the Jeep vehicles can perform these tasks the same way they see in the videos.
"This was a special project to be a part of, and I am excited for the world to experience the journey with us," said Smith. "It is incredible to see all the innovation that goes in behind-the-scenes to bring to life such a unique perspective of our surfing experience. When you're surfing, many people just see the endgame, but it's the whole adventure to find great waves with a friend. When you do, it's the best feeling in the world," added Smith.
The group behind all of the magic is Rapid VR. Rapid VR has captured tons of footage of WSL athletes taking the beaches by storm. With custom built rigs attached to the surf boards, every trip was captured in unique 360 degree views, collecting all the adventure.
"Our project goal was to push the boundaries of VR technology to show what a surf trip feels like from the first-person perspective," said Steele, Rapid VR co-director. "I'm excited to share this. It's pretty incredible knowing my mom can now experience riding a 20-foot wave." As the virtual reality allows the eyes of the user to control what they see and experience.

|Slightly crazily, a little while before Christmas, I signed up to the Food of Love's Craft Neutral Christmas Bauble Swap. It was a bit crazy because I didn't really have time available to do it, but I couldn't resist - I'm always after more decs for my Christmas celebrations! And of course swaps are a great opportunity to experiment with new ideas - as you try to make things that you think will appeal to your swap partner.
My partner was Caroline of Seawood Designs. She sent these brilliant ami reindeer for my 2 boys (they never made it on to the tree!). Caroline tells me that she used a free pattern that is available on the Lion Brand Yarn website if you want to have a go next year. As if that wasn't enough, she also very kindly sent these very pretty and delicate beaded snowflakes. I am sure that she put masses of work into these - they look very starry and shiny on our tree in amongst all the lights. I also got some rather scrummy G&B chocolate - although I nearly lost the chocolate to the boys and had to hide it in the bread bin! So a huge thank you to Caroline for being such a generous swap partner.
For my part of the bargain I did some experimenting with crazy patchwork to make a little tree, and had a go at making yoyo hearts for a wreath. Here they are:
I was pleased with both of these - particularly the wreath. It was fun to make the yoyo hearts and I love the way the colours are Christmassy without being too obviously 'green, red and gold for Christmas'. The fabrics are all from a Kaffe Fassett charm pack that I got from Cotton Patch. I used this excellent tutorial at Penny Sanford Designs for the hearts. The wreath is made with a circle of twisted wire which I single crocheted round in order to form a good base to sew on the hearts. I sewed the buttons on at the same time as sewing the hearts to the base, if you see what I mean! All in all it was a hugely satisfying swap, so huge thanks to Eileen at Food of Love for organising it.
This is my 99th blog post! Look out for a 100th post giveaway coming your way soon.

The Brief
As a new client to the agency, Mclaren Automotive asked the HPS Group to produce a simple, but functional set of launch collateral that would complement the customer collection of their new supercar, the MP4-12C.
The Solution
Supplied with a collection of luxurious imagery depicting the vehicle, it's colours and details, the items that were in need of supply were simple, but of course had to compliment the prestige and stature that surrounds the McLaren brand.
Working in conjunction with the creative team, initial compositions were generated, offering variation on a theme that highlighted areas of the car that were felt to capture its styling and poise.
A dark background was chosen to place emphasis on the imagry, utilising McLaren's brand colour to draw attention to key information.
Once the creative had been approved by the client, it was then applied to the various assets, including a simple piece of DM, emailers and a bespoke presentation folder, which had to contain a purchasing customers documents on receipt of a new vehicle.
These folders were engineered to offer a double pocket housed inside a fold over cover. Externally, tactile, soft touch stock with a discreet, de-bossed Mclaren logomark was used to depict the Alcantara used within the vehicles interior.
This folder solution also had to accommodate not only A4 sized documents, but also US Legal dimensions, meaning its construction had to offer versatility and consideration to the depth and location of the pockets.
Close liaison with the manufacturing printer and use of several mock ups, aided the development of an advanced piece that was approved personally by Ron Dennis, Mclaren's CEO at the time, and used to great effect with new customers.
