Endeavor hosted its first annual Women in High-Impact Entrepreneurship (WHIE) event, bringing together high-impact, investment-ready Endeavor Entrepreneurs, mentors, and investors for a day of keynote talks, open discussion, and direct feedback. The day-long gathering formally launched the WHIE community, an ongoing initiative to provide mutually beneficial opportunities for female entrepreneurs and other stakeholders in Endeavor's global network.
The event drew Endeavor Entrepreneurs from 12 different markets, leading NY-based CEOs, and representation from 15 funds, including Bain Capital, Insight Venture Partners, Greycroft, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Innova Capital.
Highlights included keynote talks from LearnVest Founder Alexa von Tobel, Eloquii Founder Mariah Chase in conversation with Greycroft Partner Ellie Wheeler, and MSNBC Host JJ Ramberg in conversation with Cardlytics Co-founder Lynne Laube, who shared their experience and offered advice.
Entrepreneurs also had the opportunity to speak with investors one-on-one in networking sessions, and participate in topic-driven peer circles led by Venrock Partner Nick Beim, author and former GE Vice Chair Beth Comstock, and Case Medical Research Co-founder Avikk Ghose.
The WHIE event offered opportunities for Endeavor Entrepreneurs to network individually with NY-based investors
"I love the fact that it was an event with high-impact women, but that the topics revolved around key challenges any entrepreneurs face as we scale our businesses. It felt like finding a new tribe of like-minded people who you admire and can relate to," said Bianca Martinelli of Endeavor Brazil company RD Station.

It shouldn't affect your divorce if you date other people. As a practicality, we have irreconcilable differences as a reason for dissolution in California divorce law, and of course the other reason is incurable insanity. However, as a practical matter, it can tend to affect your divorce if the other person feels spurned or jealous, or gets emotionally upset to the point that they want to punish you. So what you might want to do is keep a relationship, if you have one, very close to the vest until such time as you work out either a settlement or finish your divorce case in its entirety.

Here's a transcript of my phone conversation with Angelo De Ieso II:
"Hi Angelo, this is Michael O–"
"Oh fuck you, bro. You gonna talk shit about me again on that crappy blog no one reads? Why don't you go put on your shittiest Green Day album and play tic tac toe on your wrists with the sharpest, rustiest razor blade you can find! I hear from you again, I'll burn you like teenage love, muthafucka. I'll break you like bread, shit stain! I'll eat your remains like it's the vegan special of the day, bitch!"
"I hope a butter bomb blows up in your face, bro! Oh, and…. GO BOSTON!"
"Hi Mr. De Ieso, this is… Joe Lager from uh… The New Sch– er, I mean, Beer Advocate. I'd like to ask you some questions about your brain tumor?"
"Hey, bro. No worries, yeah. Let's rap a little, my homey."
"I was wondering, are there any upsides to your condition?"
"Oh sure, man. Tons! Like I just take all my baths with a load of laundry and some detergent. If I start seizing up mid-way through, when I come out of it, clean load of laundry, bro!"
"That's… great?"
"Oh, and you know when they cracked my head open like a coconut, they had to staple it back together, but that's cool, because nobody's ever seen the top of my head anyway. I've got a different Boston team cap for every day of the week, so it ain't no thang but a chicken wang!"
"Naw, but that's tiny shit. I'm going to give you the straight dope, son. The real meal. And you can go post it on this blog I've never heard of. I used to have to do some serious shit to get the most "killah" beer for my KillerBeerWeek events, shit I am not proud of. But this year, I've got these crazy cats coming out of the woodwork, just pushing all these insane brews onto me because they heard about my debt and tumor and everything I've been through."
"Speaking of which, I've heard that Ben Love of Gigantic Brewing–"
"Man, I got no time for Love, Doctor Jones! Naw, but seriously. Do you know, that Ben and Van Havig are hooking me up with the chronic this year, all because of this wonderful, blessed brain tumor? I am getting a keg of Madness to tap at Bailey's Taproom, which is a Belgian style Quad blended with a sour beer aged in bourbon barrels, for Tom Brady's sake! Do you know what I used to have to do for a keg of Gigantic beer, any keg of Gigantic beer? Like the shit they scraped out of the bottom of the fermenter?"
"What's that?"
"Both brewers in the mouth at the same time, kid. And they don't call their brewery Gigantic for nothing. I've still got stretch marks in my cheeks!
"And that's nothing compared to what Ganum made me do. Dude seems so laid back and chill, like the nicest guy in the world. You don't know, man. You don't KNOW! I can't even talk about it. I'm too upset. Oh GAWD! I told myself I wouldn't cry! I gotta go. I'm too emotional right now. I'm gonna get my staples wet."
"I'm sorry to bring this all up ag–"

Interview with Finnr's Cane done by Patrick posted on 7-18-18
Interview with Finnr's Cane done by Patrick
1.Hello please introduce yourself to the readers?How are things going in Canada this week?
Hello! My name is The Peasant, I play drums in Finnr's Cane. The weather is unseasonably warm as of late, but other than that things are quite well in my part of Canada.
2.When did you first meet the other members of the bands?And was it long before you all started Finnr's Cane?How did you choose Finnr's Cane as the name of the band and does it have a special meaning?
The Bard and I first met when we were in high school, probably around 15 years ago. We attended separate schools in the same city but soon become acquainted through mutual friends. We began playing music casually together at that time. The decision to form Finnr's Cane happened several years later, in 2008.
The name of the band does not have one specific meaning. It is a somewhat abstract name and that was one of the reasons that we chose it.
3.What is the current line up of the band and for the readers who have never heard the bands music how would you best describe it?
The band currently consists of The Bard and me. We aim to create songs that are atmospheric and hopefully transport the listener to a place that is outside of their usual daily routine.
4.Elegy is the bands third full length release how long did it take the band to write the music for the new release?
We are in an unusual circumstance in that the Bard and I live several hundred kilometers away from each other. This makes the song writing process a little more challenging. We tend to work sporadically when we can arrange to be in the same location, and so for this reason the songs on Elegy probably took around 2 years to finalize.
5.Who usually handles writing the lyrics for the music and what are some subjects written about on Elegy?
The lyrical themes tend to be focused on the relationships between humans and nature, the passage of time, isolation, etc. Some of the lyrics on Elegy were written about finding quiet places within a city, or the way urban environments eventually decay and are returned to nature. The Bard composes most of the lyrics and I contribute specific passages.
6.Has Finnr's Cane played live very often or do you prefer to work in the studio?What have been some of the bands most memorable shows over the years?
Finnr's Cane is strictly a studio project.
7.Are their any tours or shows planned in support of the new release Elegy?If yes where will the band be playing and who are some bands you will be sharing the stage with?
Unfortunately, we will not be touring in support of Elegy.
8.Besides the Elegy release coming out soon are the bands previous releases still available for the readers to buy?Besides physical releases does the band have any other merchandise available for the readers to buy?If yes what is available and where can the readers buy your merchandise?
Yes, our previous releases (Wanderlust and A Portrait Painted by the Sun) are available from our good friends at Prophecy Productions. Currently we do not have any other merchandise available.
9.Has Finnr's Cane ever made a music video for any of their songs?If you could make a video for any of the songs off of Elegy which song would you like to see made into a video?
This is an interesting question. First, we do not have a music video for any of our songs. If we were to make a video for a song from Elegy, my pick would be Empty City. It is my favourite song from the album and I think it tells a story from start to finish which would work well with visual accompaniment.
10.Besides Finnr's Cane do you or any of the members currently play in any other bands or solo projects?
The Bard currently plays in Fractal Generator, a technical death metal band.
11.When you need to take a break from working on new music or band business what do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Finnr's Cane is just a small component of our daily lives. I work, have a family, like to cook, enjoy listening to Blind Guardian with my friends, and so on. If anything, we tend to focus on Finnr's Cane when we have free time.
12.Thank you for taking the time to fill this interview out do you have any final comments for the readers?
Thank you for the interview!

As a writer, I blog, I tweet, and I post on Facebook regularly. I have 200 followers on Twitter, but that's more about politics right now. I have 450 followers on WordPress for my writing blog. I have 68 followers on my Roxanna Haley FB page and 14 on my D.L. Hungerford page. That page I recently had to shut down the original one because Facebook was making changes to their scheduling codes without telling anyone. I started this one but not many people caught that I was switching pages. I think I can merge them now, so I will see if that brings my numbers up. Continue reading "Writers Need Media Followers"

The internet, especially social media sites like Facebook, open up a world where arguments run rampant and you might find yourself trying to defend a person or an idea for hours or days at a time. Why? Because the other person started it. And you are going to finish it.
There are times when one steps outside one's door, expecting to go down the street to the park. But something distracts you turn right and end up at the fire station. Such is the path of this blog post. I wanted to get more input on Romance Writers of America's new Mentoring program. But searching for Mentoring brought me to a blog called All the Kissing.

Why Facebook?
I'm a busy woman who isn't getting any younger or thinner or well-rested. My house is a disaster, my birds are longing for more attention, my dog needs more walks, and I have stuff to do for a bunch of groups in which I participate. So why do I spend so much time on Facebook? Wouldn't I rather be marching for immigrants' rights or vacuuming the living room again? Continue reading "Why Facebook?"
My Facebook Life
Back when I was a budding new writer, four years ago or so, I was told by published authors that Twitter is a place to meet peers and Facebook is the place to find your readers. So on top of blogging, you need an author page and regular posts about life, not so much about your books that are for sale. That same author demonstrated how to line up a week's worth of posts scheduled for every day of the week. Me: I can do this! Continue reading "My Facebook Life"

Aching to Write
Writing is my drug. I write a lot of non-fiction just to have something going on. I rarely run out of ideas for blogs, and I love posting things on Facebook. That said, there are days when I am aching to write on my Work In Progress (WIP) and can't because I need a blog. I guess I have two levels of my drug. One is the write anything but keep writing drive, and the other is the write the characters and get them into trouble drive. Continue reading "Aching to Write"
A Good Time was Had by All
When you get an idea for a novel, and you write that novel, and you publish that novel, you are only starting on your journey as a writer. You are now required to tell people about your novel. Lots and lots of people.
There are some good ways to do this. There are some bad ways to do this. A good way is to get folks to blog about your book. Another is to tweet about it. And about the blog posts. A bad way is to pay someone a lot of money to review and blog, and then not get anything back on the investment.
Lucky for the six authors of The Bowman's Inn Book One Spring, we found an awesome party planner for four hours of fun on Facebook. Author Elf has an amazing variety of services to offer writers who are just starting out and need a little help with publicity. Lisa Kessler was our elf, and she made things sparkle! http://www.authorelf.com/menu-of-extra-services.html
We had a few bumps due to my lack of understanding which direction the earth is turning. I got the party times backwards, so at the last minute we changed the times and that worked out nicely. But don't think those four hours were all fun and games! There was some sweat involved.
I set up my laptop next to my PC, and logged in once as DL Hungerford and once as Roxanna Haley. I attended the party as Roxanna, author of Another Shot in The Bowman's Inn Book One Spring. I had a nice collection of cute animals in party hats to throw out, and lots of eye candy to share. Plus I was in charge of posting the excerpts we used to tempt folks into buying our book. Oddly enough, some people did not appreciate the tarantula or python in party hats. Go figure.
In four hours, we managed to give away lots of swell swag (tote bags, tank tops, gift cards, bar glasses) and get all six story excerpts up. All the authors managed to be there except for Louise Redmann. Louise is our only author in Switzerland, and like me, time zones are not her friend. She was seriously bummed when she realized she had missed it all.
The evil Lisa K. put each of us authors on the hot seat, and let the audience ask ANY QUESTION they wanted to ask of us. Most of the people there were cool, but some of our former best virtual friends got a bit cheeky. You can still read all the fun, it will be up forever, or as long as Facebook exists. https://www.facebook.com/events/1442272569407058/
We rocked the house for the whole night, ever our elf got distracted by all the eye candy, and we have sold a whopping 3 books since then! Okay, so the party wasn't the stepping stone to instant fame that we thought it would be. But it was fun, and we're looking forward to going again for the SUMMER book in July. It's like a four hour orgy without the sex or condoms. And you can participate at home in your sweats. Sweet.
Thanks for reading, I'll be back on Sunday.

Dating website application fractionation in dating techniques
29-Dec-2017 09:37
The questions calculate your levels of openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism.Online dating through applications are location based mobile applications created to make communication easier for people who want to meet, flirt, chat, and potentially get romantically involved.Here are a couple helpful hints for staying fit while traveling!You Don't Always Have to Go to the Gym […] With the eclipse looming large in the minds of many Americans and soon, the sky above a large swath of the U.Although, other sources state that the founders are Mateen, Rad, and Badeen only.Online dating applications target a young demographic group.It just makes sense; gay-dar has limitations, lesbian nights can feel far and feel between, and meeting a girl organically can feel impossible as a gay woman.
Nevertheless, it is not impossible if you are willing to put in the effort.All you need is an email address and a (hopefully charming) username and you're reading to get creepin'.Regular members can filter potentials based on a variety of criteria, which allows you to cast your net as wide or narrow as you like.We're straight up less visible, and dating apps allow us to safely browse through girls WE KNOW like girls.
I can't pretend making a profile doesn't make me self-concious, but I will say that it's better to put yourself out there in almost any way that to sit at home, re-watching , waiting for Mrs. Last week I created a dating profile on each of these sites, and rating apps geared (or accepting) of lesbians based on three criteria: style, amenities, and my personal experience.

5 minute video explains everything you need to know about North Korea
US vs. North Korea. What is the possibility of war between the two countries?
The United States has made it perfectly clear to Kim Jong Un that only North Korea's self restraint will keep the United States from killing him and destroying his country if the North Korean threats persist.
The North Korean leadership is not giving in.
Joint precision tests by the United States and South Korea are surprisingly not getting North Korea to back down.
Will the United States attack in a pre-emptive strike?
It is most definitely possible.
North Korea will either completely back down or this will be one scary war indeed.

Will upload this evening (no outgoing email from my ipad at work for reasons to nutty to go into).
Added 3D spheres. Screenshot:
Fantastic! I should add these to my "balls on sticks" code to make the vertices more realistic.
Add to the Pic class (or just modify and include the code):
-- http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Draw_a_sphere
function Pic:sphere(radius, k, ambient)
local function normalize (vec)
len = math.sqrt(vec[1]^2 + vec[2]^2 + vec[3]^2)
return {vec[1]/len, vec[2]/len, vec[3]/len}
local light = normalize{30, -30, -50}
local function dot (vec1, vec2)
d = vec1[1]*vec2[1] + vec1[2]*vec2[2] + vec1[3]*vec2[3]
return d < 0 and -d or 0
local function m255(a, b)
local r = a * b
if (r>255) then r=255 end
return r
local i,x,j,vec,b
for i = math.floor(-radius),-math.floor(-radius) do
x = i + .5
for j = math.floor(-2*radius),-math.floor(-2*radius) do
y = j / 2 + .5
if x^2 + y^2 <= radius^2 then
vec = normalize{x, y, math.sqrt(radius^2 - x^2 - y^2)}
b = dot(light,vec) ^ k + ambient
--intensity = math.floor ((1 - b) * 255)
local ba = b+ambient
self.image:set(x+self.width/2, y+self.height/2,
m255(self.r, ba), m255(self.g, ba),
m255(self.b, ba), self.a)
--line = line .. (shades[intensity] or shades[1])
Syntax is:
s = Pic(99, 99)
s:setcolor(255, 100, 0, 255)
s:sphere(45, 2, 0.1) -- radius, k, ambient light
sprite(s.image, WIDTH/2, HEIGHT/2)
@Bortels: maybe a stupid question: is it possible to create facets with your routines? Let's assume I do have a mesh grid, and I want to fill this grid with a certain color, or colormap. How can I use the image or pic class for doing that? I am currently working on a version using the scanline algorithm with normal line commands. This works, but is a bit slow (and still buggy...). I was thinking that using the image or pic class could do the job faster. How difficult would it be, if you want to update the shape of the bounding box e.g. Due to rotation?
You wouldn't get good 3d shapes from this; it's pretty much a sphere. And the filled poly stuff won't help, because there's no support for shading.
ray tracer, huh? :-)
This is what I currently have.
It's beta square, since it does not work perfectly yet. For closed surfaces there are rendering issues (swap between inner and outer side ...), and for open structures there is a specific angle alpha at about -7°, where you can see rendering effects. If you go further to -180° situations improves again. I have included a set of functions, which you might want to try.
Currently I have no idea where to seek the problems. The detection, which facet is showing top or bottom works so lala, say almost 90%. If somebody of the more experienced math guys could help me out here, it would be perfect!!! I guess this is still the crucial part in the whole code.
Maybe in one of the next Codea releases there will be support of such 3D plotting as well? Would be simply great!
@Bortels: this is the background of my question about using the fill polygon code of you. It's anyway fascinating, how such rendering works, and much work is behind all those beautiful math function drawings with colored facets ... Wish, I could crack the nut.
Can somebody tell me how to place a photo here? I made a screenshot, but I am not able to copy that here ... Any trick?
So - as I research ray tracing, I realize that that's what this sphere is, grossly oversimplified - it figures out the color at any point by comparing the vector of the viewer with the vector of the normal to the sphere at that point. NO REALLY.
Just sharing. :-)
@CrazyEd... Simeon posted the syntax for placing a photo in the forum earlier today in another thread...

If you're running a recent iOS, just tweet it - it's built-in, and fast and easy.
@Bortels: do you intend of writing a Ray tracer code? Basically with my 3D mesh project I had had several issues, which I was not able to solve. First I am sure that the current 3D to 2D method is just an approximation. I have the feeling that the perspective is somewhat wrong. On the other side I wanted to use just azimuth and elevation as rotation angles, which means to kick away one go the three angles as defined in your cube code. Do you have any idea how a transform could look alike? Secondly I was thinking that calculating the normal of a plane as defined by three points would already give a good hint, if the facet is visible or not. As it seems for non-closed objects this gives some reasonable result, but I start to doubt, based on your statement about grossly simplification, that this is the correct way of doing that. For a ray tracer, I guess you also need the normal vector of a facet, or not? If you would like to introduce colored facets on your cube, how would you determine the visibility of a facet, and if the object is even more complex, detect, if a facet is hidden (either partly or completely) by another one?
Me writing (or really, porting) a ray tracer would just be a stunt - I have no real interest in taking something like that to where it needs to be, or more correctly - no real time. For every project I publish, I have 2 that I got halfway done with and are sitting waiting for me to finish (really!). I did read up on it yesterday, found some good links - I'll try to post them later. My understanding is that you're basically correct - you trace the ray back to the object it hits, take a normal to that surface, and calculate the light intensity based on the angle between the ray and the normal of the surface.
Just to be clear my ray tracer comment was a joke
@Simeon: but it would be great to have such tools available. And Codea is such great platform which for sure would allow that. Might be that my 3D mesh routine is not 100% perfect, and it contains bugs, but I was impressed how fast in the end one can realize that. I simply would love to use Codea more and more for such kind of problems, I only need to learn more about the capabilities and possibilities of Codea. But it seems to me that you can do almost anything with Codea, if you just know how to do it. I guess I did not mention that yet, but thanks a lot for this app, Simeon!!!
Joke or not, I am still thinking of doing it, just to be awesome :-)
Just got a chance to download it. Another keeper. I can see much use for this.
Please find a screenshot of my first trials for a RayTracer ...
Unfortunately the rendering is really slow ... I have also taken Andrews particles project and replaced the ellipse() with my spheres. As long as the diameter is small, and number of spheres is little one can see some particle movement already ...
After I have figured out how to share the code, I will do that. Too sad that .codea files do not work anymore ... It would be simply great if someone could assist in further improving the code and allowing also multiple reflections, although I fear that this will be simply too slow.
Is there any possibility to get someday access to the GPU commands? As the Apps like RenderDuck show, the rendering can be really fast ...
Totally cool, crazyed!
In the pre .codea days, I favored gist and github. In particular, gist makes it easy for people to copy and paste code.
Ray tracing is supposed to be slow :-)
There's great enthusiasm for GLSL access - I know it's on TLL's radar. My impression was that there was interest, but they have other stuff in the pipeline (physics, native fonts, and this .codea kerfluffle) to get dealt with first. Fingers crossed.
What, if I simply place the code in here?
You could, but it means there's no easy way to select all. It also is harder to bookmark. If its short, here is fine.
Tried to post the code as a .lua file at the same link as above (http://crazyed.posterous.com ). But it seems as if my editor placed fancy characters in it... Can't correct it now, since with my iPad I cannot correct the posterous page ...
The .lua file you posted looks ok to me - I'll try adding to my ipad later (my ipad has been kidnapped by little girls for a while...)
We could try some experiments with cut/paste in the forum.
I think if the first --comment has a blank line before the first function it makes iPad selection go wonky.
Other than that I've found if I click on a whitespace to the right of code contained in a pre statement it seems to select it all fine.

According to the International Energy Agency, India's energy needs – fueled by 8% annual economic growth – are projected to double by the year 2030. Moreover, India is expected to become the biggest net importer of oil by the year 2025, after the United States and China.
In an attempt to secure energy resources for its buxom economy, India is courting resource-rich Africa with the long-term intent of ousting China's influence in the region. In fact, this upcoming April 8th and 9th, New Delhi will be hosting its first ever India-Africa heads of state meeting in the hopes of strengtening ties and heightening trade. There is also, however, another prospect on the horizon:
But Africa offers more than just oil. Chalking up close to 6 percent economic growth in 2007, the continent could provide a ready-made market for Indian products, like Tata Motors' ultra-cheap $2,500 Nano cars due to be launched in October.
In the words of Manmohan Singh, India's interest in Africa extends beyond these factors as well (read more after the jump):
"The objective will not just be a quantitative increase in trade and investments, we will also aim at a qualitative enhancement of Africa's economic competitiveness and technological capabilities."
And so this brings us to another, seemingly unrelated collaborative venture between India and Africa – telemedicine. According to an article in the NY Times, India launched a telemedicine project in Africa in July of last year, the aim of which is to link rural hospitals in Ethiopia with the Hyderabad-based Care Group of Hospitals, India' s leading cardiac institutes.
The scheme has been launched in connection with the pan-African e-network, a "5.42 billion rupee joint initiative between the African Union and India" which aims to "develop Africa's information and communication technologies by eventually connecting all of the 53 African countries to a satellite and fiber-optic network." To date, approximately 100 patients in Africa have benefited from this scheme, which is currently in operation in 12 specialist hospitals in India. Indian Ambassador to Ethiopia, Gurjit Singh, claims there is no connection between the talks and these projects, but why else would India invest in enhancing the healthcare system in another region when its own rural poor suffer from deplorable healthcare conditions?
Stay tuned to ThinkChangeIndia for updates on the India-Africa heads of state meeting, as well as new developments on the trade/technology front between India and Africa.

Art On The Island
' Om Swastiastu...'
Rich with age-old traditions, Indonesia is like a wonderland for art enthusiasts. From traditional textiles to modern paintings, we have them all, making the archipelago, particularly Bali, one of the best destinations in the world for those who like to explore art. Celebrating the country's unique arts and crafts, we are determined to bring you closer with the nation's both classic and contemporary creations.
Pay a visit to the workshop of Threads of Life in Ubud to learn more about Indonesian heirloom-quality textiles. Flip through our 'CRAFT & CULTURE' where we join a fun batik class and discover how Threads of Life works with over 1,000 fabric makers across the country to preserve this heritage. A talk with founder of Cata Odata art house, Ratna Odata, also gives insights about the challenges that local artists often have to face – we feature this interview in 'PROFILE & PORTRAIT'.
Bali is home to numerous talented unexposed local photographers. Aiming to encourage them in creating marvelous photos, the Perhimpunan Fotografer Bali (Bali's Photographer Community) held the 3rd Bali Photo Awards 2017 photo competition with the theme "Air dalam Budaya" ("Water in Traditions") – see the amazing work of the winners in our 'FOTO FOLIO'. Last but not least, our contributor Edna Tarigan discovers contemporary artworks at Art:1 Museum in Jakarta, which she shares in 'CAPITAL CORNER'.
Happy flipping through our pages and enjoy some fun art hunting in Indonesia!

The word investment means a lot of things to different people. To a fashionista it's buying that pair of shoes that looks good with anything and to a car collector it's getting that rare car in their collection. At the end of the day an investment as we defined in the previous article is money spent on something today that can give you value in the future.
Before investing money there are critical questions one should ask :
- What is the purpose for investing this money?
- Is it for a long period i.e for retirement or a short period i.e to buy a car?
- How much risk am I willing to take?
- Do I want to take a high risk or play it safe?
- Do I want to put all my money in one basket or do I want to spread it in different things?
- How much can I invest ?
Once one has answered these questions one can consider the form of investment to take . There are simple investments that can be done with small amounts and limited know how and more complex investments that require help from an expert. We will examine some of these.
- Buying livestock
This is commonly done by rural folk there is great wisdom behind it. One can purchase roadrunners , goats or a cow and leave these to reproduce in time these will multiply and these have a minimal cost of upkeep. One can earn a profit from selling off the offspring of the livestock. There is a risk of losing the livestock due to theft or disease.
- Lending clubs
A group of people can contribute money and lend it out with interest to group members or relatives .At the end of the year the profits can be shared and the initial amount reinvested.
This can be risky as people can default.
- Purchasing an asset and leasing it out
This can be a car , generator, house etc. One will earn a rental from each asset on a monthly basis from the person leasing the item. This is a safe method but requires a big amount to start out. One earns what is called latent income i.e you make money whilst you sleep. Warren Buffet made money from renting out pinball machines as his first business.
- Becoming a collector
One can invest in buying rare coins, painting , items and keeping them as they will appreciate in value. For example an autographed book by Nelson Mandela can fetch millions now but did not have as much value in the 90s.
- Buying shares on the stock market
This requires expert knowledge and one has to be willing to make a long term investment to reap the full rewards.
- Investing in the money market
This involves giving your money to a bank or finance house for a certain period at an agreed upon interest rate. This is a short term investment and the larger the amount the more one is likely to earn.
These are just some of the ways one can invest money. In every decision made it is critical to do thorough research and seek advice from those who have followed an avenue you want to pursue. Happy investing .

What's the big deal about carbon wheels? Posted on 12 Apr 13:37 , 0 comments
Carbon fiber continues to transform the bicycle industry due to its unique qualities; it's incredibly light, strong, is easy to shape, and doesn't "fatigue" the way traditional materials like steel and aluminum do. It's made a big difference to the way manufacturers build frames, forks, and many other bike components, but the biggest difference by far is the changes it has brought to the way cycling wheels are made and how they perform.
Carbon rim being added to mold
This is because, across a bicycle, all things are not equal. When you pedal your bike, you are dealing with or overcoming certain forces of nature: inertia, aerodynamic drag, and rolling resistance (as well as gravity, if you're riding uphill). There is an old saying amongst bike builders and aficionados – "A gram off the wheels is worth 2 grams off the frame." They are referring to the rotating mass of the bike. In theory, if you can reduce the weight of the components that rotate...

Canadian scientists are teaming up with the Terry Fox Research Institute (TFRI) to lead a new $5-million personalized treatment initiative.
The Enhanced Pancreatic Cancer Profiling for Individualized Care (EPPIC) team, is hoping to improve personalized treatments for patients across Canada with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a particularly deadly form of cancer, over the next five years.
Dr. David Schaeffer is the head of Anatomic Pathology at Vancouver General Hospital (VGH) and an assistant professor at UBC.
New fundraising partnership aims to bring awareness to 'forgotten' pancreatic cancer
" we understand what is specific for one particular patient's tumor and try to tailor our treatment from what we learn from that particular cancer," he said.
Dr. Schaeffer says, a lot of research that's been done around pancreatic cancer has been on cases where the tumor can be removed. "The problem is 80 per cent of the patients who we see at the time of presentation with pancreatic cancer, already have advanced cancer… this is an area we haven't focused a lot of research, EPPIC is trying to focus on that area."
WATCH: New national research partnership formed to fight against pancreatic cancer
Dr. Schaeffer says, there's many different types of the disease even within advanced diagnoses, and treatment needs to reflect that reality.
"Right now, we're just starting to understand that there's actually sub types of the disease and depending on what type of cancer you have, it may have a different impact as to what treatment we may choose."
Nearly 1 in 2 Canadians expected to get cancer. Here's why
Pancreatic cancer can be one of the most devastating diagnoses, with lack of early detection tests and very few symptoms. The cancer's survival rate is abysmal with just a nine per cent, five-year survival rate according to TFRI.
Dr. Schaeffer says the goal is to enroll 400 patients with the most advanced types of pancreatic cancer, and make data publicly available so researchers all across the world can access it, and collaborate.
The project is currently in the works in Vancouver and Toronto, and will later expand to patients in other parts of the country.

Benjy over at Wooden Widget just dropped me a line about his new dinghy design...
Now, you may remember I was some kind of impressed with his little "Deckster" dinghy based on the Hobie Mirage drive, as well as his very neat and practical folding "Origami" dinghy. Being a Flicka guy, I guess, just makes Benjy want to come up with ever more cunning and clever dinghy solutions for the deck-space impaired!
The newbie design in the Wooden Widget stable, called the "Stasha", is all kinds of interesting as it takes off where Platt Monfort left off and becomes the lightest (at 22 pounds) nesting dinghy you are likely to find anywhere!
I mean does this seriously rock or what?

Tangent Capital Partners Inks Deal for 12,800 Square Feet at 135 East 57th Street
By Billy Gray April 2, 2013 7:45 amreprints
Tangent Capital Partners inked a deal to sublease 12,800 square feet of space on the 23rd floor of 135 East 57th Street, The Commercial Observer has learned.
Roger P. Griswold and Arkady Smolyansky of CBRE represented the tenant. Jeffrey Kilimnick and Robert Kluge of CBRE represented the sublessor, Sansar Capital.
Tangent relocates to the building from 9 West 57th Street, the 50-story, 1.4-million-square-foot tower owned by Sheldon Solow that has some of the highest asking rents in the city. The merchant bank was founded in 2004 by Jim Peet and Bob Rice.
135 East 57th Street has dealt with several high profile tenant departures in recent years. Bank of America left the Class A property for 1 Bryant Park, which opened in 2010. The building is about 45 percent occupied. The financial firm Guggenheim Partners in 2011 relocated from 135 East 57th Street to 190,000 square feet at 330 Madison Avenue. Both buildings are owned by Cohen Brothers Realty Corporation.
CBRE could not be reached for comment.

In traditional bloom filters, each item is hashed some fixed number of locations. One variant of this is to hash items a varying number of locations within the same bloom filter.
This idea is presented in Zhong et al., Optimizing data popularity conscious bloom filters, PODC '08 and Bruck et al., Weighted Bloom filter, IEEE Information theory '06. However, I know of an independent and roughly contemporary "discovery" of this idea in industry that wasn't published.
This idea seems like the kind of thing that may have been independently discovered multiple times and I'd like to find the earliest public reference to cite. It's possible this exists somewhere in the IR literature as a variant of "signature files", or elsewhere with terminology that I'm not familiar with.
In the IR literature, there's Faloutsos et al., Design of a signature file method that accounts for non-uniform occurrence and query frequencies, VLDB '85, which is quite close but if I'm reading the paper correctly the paper only does the math for splitting terms into two separate classes and doesn't generalize the math like Zhong et al. or Bruck et al.

How to Know that VoIP is Right Solution for Your Business?
With my current theme being "know the differences", I've been comparing and contrasting VoIP and Unified Communications over the past several posts. By now, you should have a good sense of this, and over the next two posts, I'll address ideal scenarios for each. Let's start now with VoIP.
Three Reasons Why VoIP is the Right Choice For You?
1. You need to cut costs
This is the main driver for SMBs, and in some cases, the only one. All SMBs want to reduce costs, but circumstances may dictate the need to do so. When your viability is on the line, management will look for every avenue. VoIP's economic advantages are well known enough now that telephony will be a quick target for generating quick savings. In these cases, saving money could trump everything, including a phone system that still works perfectly well.
For businesses that are truly looking for alternatives to costly legacy service, this will usually be the right move. Keep in mind, however, there are hidden costs associated with VoIP, so the savings that come will be somewhat offset by these. Overall, however, you should be able to generate enough cost savings to make this move worthwhile.
Remember, there are two main areas where you'll reduce costs by going to VoIP. First is for the service itself, which will be less costly in many ways than legacy telephony from your incumbent provider. Second is the phone system, and if you're using a legacy PBX now, a system refresh would absolutely cost less money. There is also a savings associated with converging your voice and data networks, but that's more difficult to quantify, especially if a quick decision on cost-cutting needs to be made.
2. Your phone system needs replacing
This defines scenarios where sticking with the status quo is not an option. For a variety of reasons, your phone system will eventually reach a point where it cannot meet your needs, and a change is in order. You may still feel attached to that phone system, especially if it has served you well and your employees are very comfortable with it. Replacing it with the same type of system is a possibility, as there are always sources out there on the secondary market.
Sticking with legacy may be the least disruptive option, but it's not really a good business investment. The role of telephony is changing, and there are many viable paths to follow. Replacing your phone system actually presents a golden opportunity to make a break with the past and move along one of those paths.
In the context of this article, the path you'll likely choose is to replace legacy telephony with IP telephony. You may see no reason to do telephony any differently, but you do want to reduce your costs. Going to VoIP allows you to replicate what you had with legacy, and if that's the vision you have in mind, this will be a good plan.
3. You want a better way to do telephony
The above two scenarios are triggered by events that necessitate a change, but this is another driver for moving to VoIP. Your business may be doing well, and you're not facing the incessant pressure to reduce costs. Furthermore, your legacy phone system may be holding up nicely, so day-to-day telephony reliability is not an issue.
On a broader plane, if your business is in a growth mode, and/or there's a strategic imperative to create more competitive differentiation, there is a higher-order driver for VoIP. In particular, your business sees technology as an enabler for these objectives, and if so, VoIP will be a prime candidate for adoption.
SMBs tend to move slowly with new technologies, so even though Unified Communications delivers more powerful benefits, you're probably not ready yet for such a big leap forward. After all, VoIP is new for your business, and there are lots of reasons to have reservations about its capabilities. To minimize your technology adoption risk, however, VoIP is a pretty safe bet if you choose the right partners.
Once that risk obstacle is crossed, you also know that VoIP is a better way to do telephony – not just for economics, but new features that speak to your strategic objectives. For now, though, the tactical benefit of making telephony better is reason enough to adopt VoIP.

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that new £64m signing Tanguy Ndombele will wear the number 28 shirt next season.
The former Lyon bruiser was immense in the French club's engine room last campaign, earning a reputation as one the finest young defensive midfielders in Europe following a string of superb displays in the Champions League. A number of elite teams had been tracking him thereafter, though Spurs won the race to his signature, the Lilywhites confirming his arrival in early July.
Our first confirmed squad number for the 2019/20 season...#THFC ⚪ #COYS— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) July 18, 2019
Ndombele was particularly impressive as Lyon took four points off of Manchester City in the group stages of the tournament, showcasing his incredible stamina, footballing intelligence and masterful tackling ability.
Tottenham revealed the squad number of their new midfield machine via a post from their
He inherited it from Kevin-Prince Boateng, whilst it was Tom Carroll who received the jersey from Walker.
Spurs supporters may get their first glimpse of Ndombele in action for the north Londoners on 21 July, when Mauricio Pochettino's recruits take on Juventus at the Singapore National Stadium as part of their pre-season preparations.
If the Frenchman is not selected for the Bianconeri match-up, then he will almost certainly make an appearance against one of Real Madrid or fellow English outfit Manchester United, both of whom face Tottenham later that month.

Over 1,000 cookies were baked yesterday by Orcas Christian School kids, teachers and volunteers for delivery to senior citizens around Orcas Island today.
Each classroom trouped through the kitchen in turns to lend a hand cracking eggs, scooping sugar, melting chocolate and sifting flour, turning out batches of red and white candy canes, chocolate crinkles, pretzel-M&M bites, shortbread, coconut magic bars, cranberry cookies and more.
The children exercised remarkable restraint, only nibbling at the broken cookies cast aside at the end of the day. When all the wrapping was done, the group had created 185 plates to pass out at the Orcas Senior Center and for hand delivery to homes around the island.

Miss A!!! HUSH MV Review
I keep expecting the lyrics to be: "You touch my heart baaaaaby *hush*hush*, You touch me heart baaaby *hush*hush*"
The pace of the lyrics didn't seem to match the pace of the instruments. The two lines right before each chorus had a completely different sound and disrupted it. It didn't sound like one song, it sounded like three. The beat and pace changed too many times. It also ended too abruptly.
Score: 3/5
They were trying to make it so dramatic, but the lyrics aren't dramatic. I couldn't get why they were being so serious, even regardless of the lyrics. Why were they dancing in shower stalls and a messed up grocery store? It didn't look especially nice nor give off any type of message.
Score: 2/5
I didn't like nearly any of it. Turtleneck belly shirts do not look good. Shiny leggings do not look mature…
