Looking at the list of swing states, the electoral votes in play, and the probabilities of the candidates to win each state – the 27% chance of a win they are giving Trump in the overall election seemed wildly optimistic to me. A 1-in-4 chance is not bad at all. So I decided to do my own quickie analysis in a spreadsheet and surprise surprise, my result is totally different.
I labeled these as the swing states: NV, AZ, IA, OH, PA, NH, NC, FL
I gave MO and GA to Trump, and CO and VA went to Hillary.
I used a random number generator to determine the winner of each swing state, comparing it to the chance of a Clinton win in that state, and then applied the electoral votes to the total.
I only ran 200 scenarios (538.com claims they run 10,000 and I’m sure they include all the states) but out of all my scenarios, Trump only won twice. For a 1% chance to win overall. And looking at the numbers, this makes sense.
Clinton has 249 electoral votes in the bag. Trump would have to nearly sweep the swing states to win it, and with Clinton having well over 50% chance to win in some of the swing states, that’s extremely unlikely. 1% chance of a Trump win seems much more realistic than a 27% chance, given the electoral map and current swing states.
So who’s right? I’m sure including all the states adds a little randomness to the result, but is that even worth accounting for? And I doubt it could change the probability from 1 to 27.
Assume Trump wins all of Nevada, Iowa, South Carolina, Missouri, and Georgia (some of which he is not favored to in in and none that are out Clinton reach). On the other side consider Virginia is out of reach for him, assume a loss there. NH too. (Pretty much following UpShot’s graphic here.)
He then still needs to sweep Florida, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. Current 538 polls-only odds at 0.36, 0.26, and 0.37 which comes to a 3 to 4% chance of doing all three … if all behaved as independent events.
That’s the kicker though. They wouldn’t behave as independent events. Silver assumes a high probability of states moving together. As stated in the explanation page: “If a candidate beats his polls to win Ohio, there’s a good chance he’ll also do so in Pennsylvania.”
Hence if circumstances occur that he is on the win side of his 0.37 odds in Ohio then there is a good chance that he will also be on that side of it in the 0.26 chance in Pennsylvania and a high likelihood of such in the 0.36 chance in Florida.
That seems understandable for a polls-plus analysis, but in polls only, we are starting at a certain % chance for Hillary to win in each state. If you aggregate those probabilities, you get a 1% chance for Trump, not a 27%. Mine is a simple stats and math analysis, I really think 538 is just adding a ton of uncertainty as a hedge against future changes. IMO it is misleading to do that and then call it a polls-only approach.
Even the polls only analysis includes correlation between states. It’s not misleading because it’s more reflective of reality than assuming independence. It’s actually misleading to assume the way people in PA vote is completely independent of the way people in Ohio vote.
Polls-only is still a projection of who will win on Nov 8 (ie, it’s not the now-cast.) The same events that may push Ohio voters towards Trump would also push Pennsylvania voters towards Trump. It seems intuitively obvious that they’re correlated, and the 538 model quantifies the correlation based on historical comps.
I still feel like taking into account things like “covariance” is adding possibilities beyond what the polls tell us. You could put a covariance factor into the random numbers by applying a single random modifier to all of your other random results, like -15 for example would effectively reduce the chance for her to win by 15% in each state. (That would be an extreme example)
If you don’t take covariance into account, then you wind up having trials that are (often much) less likely to actually happen being weighted the same as trials that are (often much) more likely to happen.
“The polls” doesn’t just mean “the State polls.” It involves the national polls and demographic polls. A model that sees every state as separate is a less accurate model. In reality they are connected.
Hillary Clinton stands today at 41.5% of the vote in a four way race. Trump may be doing worse, but with that many undecideds and third party voters there’s just no way you can put such high odds on Clinton. 75-25 is about right. There are still 10-20% of voters out there that can be persuaded. And Clinton seems to have stopped trying, instead hunkering down.
Once more, with feeling: Not “cut in half,” but rather “returned to the long-term mean.”
Clinton 3 to 4 points up nationally is what one would expect, given everything we’ve seen over the past months, plus what we know about past elections (especially recent ones), plus a dash of what one would expect of the two parties’ relative status given the state of the economy.
It’s only “surprisingly close” if you start throwing things in like “given how much one candidate is so obviously more qualified than the other.”
I think in this case, Wang is more likely right. The electoral map is too tough on Trump. And while it’s not proof of anything, a lead at this point has indicated the winner for the last 16 elections, iirc.
I agree that the folks in these polls who have expressed an intention to vote for Gary Johnson should be looked at very carefully. I’m a Hillary supporter, and this is just about the only thing that worries me somewhat.

New research shows that drug abusers are not completely abandoning prescription opioids for heroin. Instead, many use the two concurrently based on their availability, according to a survey of 15,000 patients at drug-treatment centers in 49 states.
The findings, from researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, also reveal regional variations in the use of heroin and prescription painkillers. The research is published Oct. 29 in a letter in The New England Journal of Medicine.
“On the East and West coasts, combined heroin and prescription drug use has surpassed the exclusive use of prescription opioids,” said senior investigator Theodore J. Cicero, PhD. “This trend is less apparent in the Midwest, and in the Deep South, we saw a persistent use of prescription drugs — but not much heroin.”
Across the country in 2014, almost 42 percent of drug users in treatment reported they had taken heroin and prescription painkillers within a month of entering treatment, up from 23.6 percent in 2008, the researchers found.
“We see very few people transition completely from prescription opioids to heroin; rather, they use both drugs,” he said. “There’s not a total transition to heroin, I think, because of concerns about becoming a stereotypical drug addict.”

NJDOT highlights Christie Administration’s ongoing efforts to hire veterans
through public-private initiatives
(Trenton) - NJDOT officials
and newly hired military veterans gathered
today at the Maintenance Yard in Hamilton Township to highlight Christie Administration efforts to support the nation’s veterans with job opportunities as they transition from military duty to civilian life.
Approximately 200 veterans have been hired to fill various openings in state government agencies since the start of the Christie Administration, including more than 20 at NJDOT.
The Christie Administration is actively working on numerous fronts to help returning veterans land jobs and to connect public and private employers to veterans who represent a talented pool of prospective employees. In addition to hiring veterans, NJDOT supports 16 career employees who currently serve in the military Reserves or National Guard. The Administration’s effort also aims to educate employers about the value and benefits of hiring highly motivated and thoroughly trained individuals.
“The men and women who have protected our freedom as they served our nation deserve the efforts of public and private employers to identify veteran candidates and match them to available job openings,” said NJDOT Commissioner James Simpson. “It is now our turn to serve them and the New Jersey Department of Transportation is proud to fulfill that duty.”
Numerous government and private-sector programs are available to help employers recruit veteran job candidates. NJDOT has worked with the Tip of the Arrow Foundation since November 2011, hiring veterans into such positions as Computer Operator Assistant, Maintenance Worker, Mechanic Helper, Dispatcher, Electrical Mechanic and management positions. The Tip of the Arrow Foundation is a national volunteer organization staffed by experienced career counselors who assist veterans make a successful transition to civilian life.
“Our mission is to help returning veterans turn a page in their lives and land a job that enables them to support themselves and their families,” said Tip of the Arrow Foundation Co-founder Carl Blum. “We work individually with each veteran prepare them for success in the civilian workforce.”
NJDOT also works closely with Mercer County One Stop Career Center's Veteran Services, a division of the Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
“It is truly gratifying to see the commitment and dedication that has been demonstrated by Governor Christie, his Administration and New Jersey businesses as they assist veterans in the transition from what can be extremely stressful duty to civilian life,” said NJDOT Director of Operations Support Andrew Tunnard, recently retired Military Commander in the United States Navy Reserve.
Earlier this month, Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno and Labor and Workforce Development Commissioner Hal Wirths held an ‘Operation Hire a Jersey Hero’ Symposium at Prudential’s headquarters in Newark, focusing on promoting job opportunities for veterans by connecting employers with state resources available to support the hiring of veterans. The Christie Administration created the symposium series after hearing from Garden State employers who sought information on how to recruit veterans and how military skills can be translated into civilian employment.
Through various state departments and outside partners, employers seeking to employ a veteran are offered a wide variety of resources including:
• Registered apprenticeship programs
• Funds for on-the-job training
• Tax credits
• Customized and literacy training grants
• Veteran referral resources

Pink origami life-like flower bouquet. I love making these and glueing them on to pens and they make great gifts. It's also a lot cheaper and easier to use scrapbooking paper instead of origami paper so you can make flowers out of one sheet
Glue a wrapped piece of chocolate to the center for a "sweet" treat. These accordion paper flowers are so easy to make that even a child can do it - pick bright, bold origami patterns to make them really stand out!

Dubbed Lufthansa Technik Miskolc, a new fully-owned subsidiary of Lufthansa Technik AG will commence operations until 2022 and will utilize around 20,000 square meters of production space. Customers of Lufthansa Technik´s Engine Parts & Accessories Repair (EPAR) network will greatly benefit from this extended production capacity.
In the long term, Lufthansa Technik Miskolc will employ around 400 employees. Investments in the triple-digit million-euro range will hence not only encompass state-of-the-art machinery for procedures such as cleaning, thermal spraying and heat treatment of engine parts, but also an extensive training and qualification program.
"I am honored that a world-renowned company such as Lufthansa Technik is expanding its presence in Hungary," said Péter Szijjártó, Hungary´s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade. "On the one hand,
this decision once more proves the attractiveness of our business location. On the other hand, it also recognizes the enormous commitment of the people in Miskolc."
"As the fourth-largest city in Hungary, Miskolc offers a great number of highly-qualified technical experts and moreover a good infrastructure", added Philip Mende, Head of Engine Parts and Mobile
Engine Services at Lufthansa Technik. "We look forward to building Lufthansa Technik Miskolc together and adding the new colleagues to our worldwide network."
"For technology companies, Miskolc has already proven to be a great place to invest in," said Dr. Ákos Kriza, Mayor of Miskolc. "We are honored to welcome Lufthansa Technik in our city and we are going to justify their trust with the same outstanding support that has already fostered many business success stories here before."
Construction at the new site is planned to begin in 2021. Training and qualification courses for its employees will already begin in 2019 and will partly take place at the existing sites of the EPAR
network in Germany, Ireland, Malaysia, China and the USA. With more than 20,000 part numbers and over 1,500 employees, Lufthansa Technik´s EPAR network today is the largest OEM-independent provider for repairs and overhauls of aircraft engine parts. By investing in the new location, EPAR is further strengthening its market position and expanding its repair portfolio for entering the new engine generation.

Last week I received a little package from the crew at Eye of One Clothing. They generously sent me over their ladies tee, “Moonlight Crow.”
My immediate thoughts:
1. I’m curious to know the background of why the incorporation of a crow. Why are there feathers dropping?
2. I’d like to see the design a touch bigger. I feel like it’s a little small.
3. The design is printed on a Pre Shrunk 7.5-oz, 100% cotton ring spun jersey knit. It’s a thicker, better quality tee. Most females are likely to prefer this cut of tee. I personally prefer a tee with longer sleeves because I find taped sleeves like these cut into my armpits a bit.
4. I’m a fan of custom tags like this tee features.
The tee is available in light blue, which is the colorway I received, and a soft yellow, which is a really good color choice for this design. If you’d like your own, you can order “Moonlight Crow” for $15 Canadian dollars via Eye of One. It’s also available on a men’s tee ($22 Canadian dollars) in bright yellow and red via Eye of One.
Thank you to the crew at Eye of One for sharing their clothing with me. They just released a handful of knit beanies, which you can find via Eye of One.

April 15th, 2015
It has long been suspected but an element in some plastics known as bisphenol-A or BPA has now been proven to interrupt sperm production. University of Washington scientists conducted the study that has just proven so, published in the journal PLOS Genetics. The team showed that BPA disrupts DNA interactions which are pivotal in making sperm. Lead investigator, geneticist Pat Hunt and her colleagues say they may have proven a theory behind the phenomenon called the “sperm crisis” or the plummeting of male sperm counts in industrialized countries around the world. Sperm levels in first world nations have been in decline since the 1950’s. But the phenomenon wasn’t discovered until Danish scientists noticed this disturbing trend in the 1990’s. The case for one theory dubbed the “estrogen hypothesis,” was strengthened by this research. This is where endocrine disruptors in the environment, which register in the body as estrogen, enter men’s bodies and interfere with sperm production. Hunt says though they went in through the “back door” this research gives insight into the sudden drop in male fertility in recent decades.
The hormone estradiol was also found to affect men’s sperm counts. This is the birth control hormone which is allowed to pass through sewage treatment plants untreated. BPA is known to be in food containers, plastic drink bottles and the lining of certain cans. In this experiment, baby male mice were given doses of BPA orally. They were also administered synthetic estradiol. Those exposed to these while their testes were developing saw poorer meiosis—the process in which genetic material of the parent is packaged for delivery in the sperm. As a result, less sperm were produced correctly and so perished. Hunt has predicted that with each subsequent generation exposed, human sperm counts could continue to fall. Hunt’s words in the report are haunting. Noting that this phenomenon has been going on for decades, and with male infertility becoming more prominent, she asks, what happens after several generations have passed and also, “Are we creating the perfect storm?”

Three lighting pieces created by Taiwanese designers are on display at Vitra Design Museum in Germany on the first leg of a world tour exhibition.
The three designs are part of the Lightopia exhibition that opened on Sept. 28 in Weil am Rhein and is scheduled to run until March 16 in Germany before touring the Netherlands, Portugal, Belgium, Mexico, Turkey, the US, China and South Korea, Taiwan Design Center said.
The center said it recommended the lighting displays Ripple, Shadow Clock and Luxifer for inclusion in the international exhibition as part of its efforts to promote Taiwanese designs on the world stage.
Ripple was created by Tseng Shi-kai (曾熙凱) and Chen Han-hsi (陳函谿), who are based in the UK. It won the Design Report Award at this year’s Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Italy. The piece projects a beam of light through a slowly rotating glass dome to create shadows and patterns like the reflections on a water pool.
Shadow Clock, also designed by Chen, explores the relationship between light and time, using three shadows produced by lighting technology and scientific calculation to create a perception of time.
The third piece, Luxifer, was created by GIXIA Group Co and is the first molded plastic bulb employed in light design. Through the use of a dual-plastic injection molding method, the usual metal connectors are replaced by partial electroplating on the surface of the lamp, according to a description on the designer’s Web site.

If you’re a periodic traveler you will probably get your insurance within the travel company. If however you just travel more than two occasions yearly, there’s a lot cheaper to own one insurance lasting all year round, than getting one when you travel.
Think ahead, prepare. Annual travel insurance easily covers itself with only a couple of journeys. While not all insurances count the identical so when always least costly is not always the most effective. Much more about this later.
Annual travel insurance is not compulsory however it provides a superior the reassurance situation of illness and loss or damage to property and a lot of other occasions. Where’s the finest place to purchase annual travel insurance?
1. Your bank is the initial place you’ll try. Banks have in recent occasions become highly competitive and so that you can retain your organization, offer better rates. For example my bank has upgraded my banking account with a premium account and for that we pay $20 monthly.
Consequently I buy several legal rights including free, worldwide, comprehensive travel insurance. However this is really the very best benefit … I buy all this free travel insurance not just personally but additionally for anybody in my children choosing me including my parents and siblings and siblings.
I mentioned free since i have am already getting other benefits which are worth more than $20 monthly essentially would get them individually. I furthermore save lots of time after i will never need to look around for insurance. So don’t ignore your bank.
2. Bank card companies offer similar insurances, having a couple of advantages. In situation of thievery or insufficient your bank card, they’ll offer you a crisis one, frequently inside a few hrs.
Furthermore to travel insurance offers, there’s an additional benefit in checking your bank card company’s terms. In the event you book your travel utilizing your bank card, pretty much all card companies give excellent cover against many of what’s going to fail.
Some bank card companies offer specialist travel departments which not only offer you travel discounts but furthermore offer you better yet protection, i.e. better travel insurance at a considerably less costly. But realize that all insurance offers exclude you developing a claims, for a similar item, to multiple sources while you might have multiple insurance plan.
For example, let’s for those who have bought travel insurance individually plus you’ve got bought your travel ticket utilizing your bank card. In situation your luggage sheds, you’ll be able to most likely claim with the idea to of the sources while not to both concurrently.
It is because the insurance policy companies have suffered massive fraud lately. Allowing multiple claims simply encourages fraudsters to own multiple insurances making multiple false claims.
For example, they could have a formerly damaged suitcase around the extended journey understanding that it’ll falter. They could then claim damage and insufficient property from multiple insurers.
3. Insurance firms certainly are a popular and apparent source for annual travel insurance. In the event you drive an automobile and also have property insurance get yourself a quote from your insurance carrier. Remember, since you will be an individual, your automobile insurance frequently entitles you to definitely certainly a great discount.
This is a tip: once they don’t supply you with a competitive insurance, inform them that you will be searching else where for just about any good package. Tell them you will be trying to find any package including great property insurance, excellent travel insurance in addition to good vehicle insurance.
Listen, concern with loss Could make them bend over backwards to suit your needs so when they don’t? Here’s another tip: If you talk on a vacation source to acquire your competitive travel insurance, be sure that you mention other assets you may be insuring together, much like your automobile, home, home contents, etc.
This can not use travel companies but works absolutely superbly with lots of insurance firms. I have attempted it many occasions and saved myself lots of money, yes thousands, over the past few years.
The insurance policy marketplace is massively competitive. A minimum of, this works meant for the “little guy” (all of us), so let’s put it to use.
4. Some types of property insurance may also give annual holiday insurance. Do consider almost any insurance plan you’ve. Some property insurance plans start adding some kinds of holiday insurance including loss or harm to your house while abroad.
Tip: while you accept your mother and father, you can keep them check their insurance plan for you personally. You will be amazed to find out that even “your” rentals are covered while abroad.
Just look out: don’t assume repairs are covered or perhaps the level cover. If you are unsure just ask the insurer. Once the cover they describe seems better yet than you realized using the policy document, then do you can keep them place their clarification in writing.
Why? When any major loss occurs, the insurer is going to be delivering a close expert to judge the injury. This method are classified as loss adjustors. Their job is to economize for that insurer. And I explain to you from bitter knowledge, they take no prisoners.
They’ll screw you lower lower, if you don’t get things in apparent black and white-colored-colored writing. Function it. It takes minutes to request clarification in writing but will save you lots of money for those who have one of these brilliant mean loss adjustors quarrelling together with you inside the policy.
5. To maintain your eleventh hour travel insurance from travel companies and airlines within the airport terminal terminal. Be ready to be cheated, heavily! Pointless to condition, this really is among your most pricey options. Just avoid finding yourself using this option, consider your insurance extended before you need to travel.
Now here’s the factor. Travel insurance coverage isn’t every identical. Additionally to considering cost, you’ll must see the affiliate agreement. For example, the surface of the age limit of some insurance firms can differ.
Some companies may limit the quantity of annual journeys, although others may have no-limit whatsoever. Look, most travel insurance policies cover a number of occasions and claims. But as they say, the demon is within the detail.
The problem you will for sure face having a couple of really cheap policies from unknown and possibly dishonest companies is what they create all the facts. Do you know what I’m talking about? … everyone small little statements placed on the trunk from the shape? Or else you are getting insurance online (and you will), notice everyone pages of small text they have you accept?
Well, this is when they bury lots of little conditions and limitations. Lots of people don’t read all the terms. Do your huge favor and also at this juncture, do make out the print all. Once the insurance policy terms are full of “weasel words” or complex language, just proceed and do not buy.
All insurance firms are quick to point the amount of millions you’ll be able to claim in “total”, in situation from the serious accident. Nonetheless they all limit the amount per item inside your claim. So claims for insufficient cash will probably be capped and therefore will claims for electronics, clothes, etc.
Meaning while using cheaper policies you will have a small limit. For example, in the event you claim for just about any mobile phone and an mp3 player, you will probably find the limit on personal electronics is not enough to even purchase “one” of people devices, as well as both. Don’t watch out for a unlucky event tell you the problems in the very affordable policy. This is the worst time for you to uncover that is a period when you will need most likely probably the most help.
What must all policies cover?
1. Loss or damage to property and money
2. Waiting occasions or cancellation
5. Your expenses whenever a celebration ocurs
6. Your potential liability with others
7. Legal services
When compared with your general costs, annual travel insurance is simply a tiny item. If you are covered for almost any eventuality, you’ll have less to concern yourself with, which will mean more relaxation and pleasure.
Accord Insurance offers a direct settlements option as part of its travel insurance Singapore It understands that when you are going for an international trip there are so many things on your mind and this is why it wants to make things easy for you.

Subject: I have found a CD that I think you would enjoy

Mark Swinton | 09/10/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)
"I've played some Scott Joplin rags in my time: for a classically-trained pianist and organist, they are a wonderful way to 'let down my hair,' musically speaking...This recording is presented as a standard introduction to Joplin's rags. I must say I find it a bit of a mixed bag. It is odd, for instance, to find an arrangement and what looks like a completion by another composer nestling side by side in the programme; likewise, I notice that a number of very good pieces are not included (such as "Elite Syncopations," one of my favourites). Nonetheless, there are some true classics on here, including "Pineapple Rag," "Bethena" and the ever-popular "Entertainer" and "Maple Leaf Rag" - undoubtedly Joplin's finest compositions.Roy Eaton's renditions are fresh and even a touch free-spirited. I always play Joplin at fixed tempi; Eaton on the other hand varies his speeds noticeably in each work and I found this a little off-putting, although now I see that it underlines the 'laid-back, feel-good' nature of ragtime. One of the other reviewers on this page has likened it to attending a very good recital; I am inclined to agree.The informative notes devote much space to describing Joplin's unfortunate battles against racism throughout his life (indeed, he narrowly missed being born as a slave), which makes this recording poignant as well as joyful. I must admit that I once thought that Joplin was white; discovering otherwise has actually heightened my appreciation for his music, coming as it does from a culture that has done very well in the face of brutal and unfair treatment over the centuries. This CD is a very good tribute to him and makes for enjoyable hour or so of listening. I believe it's worth quoting John Potter of the Hilliard Ensemble: "you can keep your Mahler symphonies- give me some of this any day!""
Joplin redux ne plus ultra
Mark Swinton | 04/15/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)
"A classically trained pianist performs the good old Jopin stuff in a way you've never heard. Roy Eaton can read music! He plays with astounding confidence and music-school precision. The result is a fresh sound straight out of a big-time recital hall. Eaton's renditions of The Chrysanthemum, Bethena and Pleasant Moments are like they've never been played before. This is a 1992 recording, but it is feel-good music that will make your commute a happy experience."

Can Rabbits Safely Enjoy Coleslaw as a Treat?
Rabbits are adorable and lovable pets that require a nutritious diet to ensure their overall health and happiness. While vegetables and greens are important components of a rabbit’s diet, it’s crucial to understand what foods are safe for them to consume. Coleslaw, a popular side dish made from shredded cabbage and often dressed with mayonnaise, is a treat humans often enjoy. However, it’s essential to explore whether rabbits can also indulge in this delicacy.
The Rabbit’s Diet
Rabbits are herbivores, and their diet should primarily consist of hay, fresh vegetables, and a limited amount of specially-formulated pellets. The roughage provided by hay promotes good dental health and helps prevent gastrointestinal issues. Fresh vegetables provide rabbits with essential nutrients and hydration. However, not all vegetables are suitable for rabbits, as some can cause digestive problems or be toxic if consumed in excess.
The Safety of Coleslaw for Rabbits
When it comes to coleslaw, it is essential to remember that rabbits have sensitive digestive systems. Some ingredients used in coleslaw can be harmful to rabbits if given in large amounts or too frequently.
Coleslaw typically contains cabbage, which is a cruciferous vegetable. While small amounts of cabbage are generally safe for rabbits, it should still be provided in moderation. Overfeeding cabbage can cause gas or bloating in rabbits, leading to discomfort and potentially serious health issues.
The dressing used in coleslaw, often consisting of mayonnaise or other creamy ingredients, is high in fat and can be harmful to rabbits. Rabbits have a delicate digestive system that does not tolerate fatty foods well. Excessive consumption of high-fat foods like mayonnaise can lead to obesity and digestive problems in rabbits.
While coleslaw isn’t a recommended treat for rabbits, there are plenty of other safe alternatives that you can offer your furry friend instead.
1. Leafy Greens
Rabbits can safely enjoy a variety of leafy greens like romaine lettuce, spinach, kale, and parsley. These alternatives are low in calories, high in fiber, and packed with essential vitamins and minerals. Offer these greens as a healthy and nutritious snack for your rabbit.
2. Carrot Sticks
Carrots are a favorite treat for rabbits and can be given in moderation. Avoid feeding large amounts of carrots due to their high sugar content, as excessive sugar intake can lead to digestive disorders.
3. Fresh Herbs
Rabbits also love fresh herbs like cilantro, mint, and basil. These herbs not only provide variety in their diet but also offer additional nutritional benefits.
While coleslaw may look tempting for your rabbit, it’s best to avoid offering it as a treat due to its potential risks. Remember that a rabbit’s well-being depends on a balanced diet, rich in hay, fresh vegetables, and limited pellet intake. It’s always safer to stick to foods that are known to be safe for rabbits, such as leafy greens, carrots, and fresh herbs. Always consult your veterinarian for specific dietary recommendations for your pet rabbit to ensure they live a healthy and happy life.

Live review from The Underground Summer Festival 夏季音樂節:
1. Orange vortex
3. Happy People
The Underground’s mixed-genre events are always great for discovering new music, but sometimes a band gets booked that makes you want to give Chris B a big fat smooch. Fourth on the bill, Ninetynine Floor’s set could have easily been lost and forgotten in the middle of a nine-act night – had it not been for a show that left punters’ mouths agape. The band’s sound broadly falls under the shoegaze genre, but the colossal soundscapes were more akin to Sigur Ros and God Is An Astronaut than Swervedriver.
Singer/guitarist Cher’s shy and unassuming demeanour translated into a captivatingly introverted delivery style. Standing stage-left, he seemed to want to conceal his role, letting bassist Monk absorb the room’s gaze – though every player’s performance was utterly memorable. Opener Orange Vortex was an atmospheric opener of echoes, sparse notes and unintelligibly soft vocals. Heavily distorted, feedback-laden chords were layered to create a drugged and dreamy duvet that tumbled comfortingly around the audience.
Next it was time to tuck everybody in, and what better way to do it than with Evey’s lulling arpeggios – even the band members closed their eyes. Not far into the slumber, the song suddenly awoke to the sound of crashing drumming recalling Smashing Pumpkins’ melancholy era. The audio from the V-meets-Evey scene from V For Vendetta added a theatrical touch to the song, which continued in an meditative, progressive vein as guitarist Chan’s tremolo chords sounded out.
Owing to the roughly 40 effects pedals on stage, the band was able to conjure a vast range of moods. Happy People – at points like Radiohead’s Pyramid Song in a major key – toyed with the emotions: Envy Corps-style bittersweet melodies stemmed into sombrely slurred sorrowful singing, as if the song was some kind of elegy to loss. Drummer Kiu made his job look effortless, imparting loose beats and whispering cymbals.
Wallowing in a deep pool of thought, Cigarette was a calm yet tragic, anaemic yet impassioned finale. Cher’s voice fluttered like a skeleton leaf on the wind, gasping Jonsi-esque lyrics into a lonesome, desolate soundscape. From start to finish – with four perfect songs – Ninetynine Floor’s whole set was like being rocked gently in the midst of grief. Like Explosions In The Sky’s Birth and Death of the Day, when the tremolo tidal wave broke, it was transcendent.
– El Jay
Live review from Underground 107:
1. Demo 1
2. As if I’ve Met Life and Death Again
3. Cold Night
4. Run Run Run
5. Dying Rose
Ninetynine Floor started with a short self-titled level check number, and its frantically-strummed, slightly weird-out feel was the perfect way to introduce themselves to the audience. Their sound is clearly inspired by Radiohead and their ilk, with its oddly static, floaty feel, but also with the Suede/Blur-y side of britpop adding some punch to proceedings, as on A.I.. The result is a hard-hitting soundscape, very much like that from the early 90s. And it would be a bit too much so, if it weren’t for some unique elements they’ve managed to include. The singer has a strange, thin voice with a papery quality, almost whiney in the vein of Jewel, but in a likeable way. The lead guitarist tend to play towards the higher end of the fretboard, with an almost-math-rock approach, using a wall of short notes to create an undulating, shimmering yet weighty feeling, while the singer’s style of soloing is to play melodies of an almost tragic-heroic nature, soaring and affecting, as on Run Run Run. These elements combine well with the fact that they play a few genuinely sad-feeling (as opposed to broody tunes, which is a far more popular approach), giving their set some real thrust. Cold Night was a bouncy, joyous number, but with the same richness of atmosphere and a celebratory feel, making it catchy and upbeat, almost like fIREHOSE. This was perhaps brought out best in the song that wasn’t so, Dying Rose, which was gentler in its emotional momentum, vaguely Killers-like, and with its trite lyrics was just okay. However the deep colour that their songs tend to have was still there, so it wasn’t an intolerable departure from quality. Still, it would’ve been served better if the song had a bit of punch. One might be tempted at this point to tag their music as overly derivative of the britpop style and in terms of pure stylistic tendencies, this might not be entirely unjustified. However, they have already developed significant unconventional features, and I would imagine that they would only get better with time. I’d rather describe them as trying to sound like,for instance, Radiohead, without actually copying them, which is at least worth a listen. All in all, they’re a winning band with some distinct and interesting things to say musically, and they certainly impressed on the night.

Feltham's Conservative parliamentary candidate has said he is 'very receptive' to the idea of a third runway at Heathrow.
Simon Nayyar, who will stand in Feltham and Heston at next May's general elections, said he had encountered strong support for expansion on the area's doorsteps since being selected in September.
He stopped short of giving the proposed new landing strip his full backing but his comments are the most pro-expansion yet to come from any of the borough's parliamentary candidates.
Mr Nayyar said his backing came with the proviso that a third runway must be supported by his party, which is waiting for the findings of the Airports Commission before committing itself.
He also said it was dependent on assurances over night flights and runway alternation, which is so important to those living under the flight paths.
"I'm very receptive to the case for a third runway. If that enables Heathrow to survive and prosper that's good for residents in the constituency," he told getwestlondon.
"I would support it but always with the proviso that while local residents are supportive it would have to be with the backing of the Conservative Party and proper safeguards would have to be in place over night flights and runway alternation.
"If a third runway is built we would also have to ensure the local infrastructure which is already creaking due to a lack of investment by Hounslow Council can support the extra demand."
There is cross-party opposition within Hounslow Council to a third runway, with councillors backing the mantra of a 'bigger not better Heathrow'. Mary Macleod, the Conservative MP for Brentford and Isleworth, recently reiterated her support for that stance.
In a borough-wide consultation carried out by Hounslow Council last year, 72 per cent of respondents said they opposed a third runway at Heathrow.

-- J. Willoughby talked to a lot of singers who wanted to be a part of
recreation of the classic AC/DC album “Back in Black.”
But few voices could hold up for more than two or three songs. Willoughby needed a singer who could belt out the entire album, plus a selection of AC/DC’s greatest hits.
Finally, he auditioned David Jaynes.
“He did two or three songs and I looked at him with my mouth wide open,” Willoughby said. “I said, ‘Can you do this three nights in a row?’ And he said, ‘Absolutely. I just need a gallon of water a night.’”
Jaynes will be singing songs like “Hells Bells,” “Shoot to Thrill,” “You Shook Me All Night Long” and the title track “Back in Black” on Friday night at the Von Braun Center, along with Bryan Gibson, Brian Whitman and Jonathan Harms on guitars, Jay Johnson on bass and Mark Lanter on drums.
The Birmingham-based Black Jacket Symphony, founded and directed by Willoughby, is not a tribute band. The musicians won’t come out dressed up like AC/DC.
Willoughby carefully selects a different group of musicians for each Black Jacket Symphony project and then goes about painstakingly duplicating the music down to the last detail.
"Back In Black" is the 12th album recreated by Black Jacket Symphony, following records such as The Beatles' "Abbey Road," Led Zeppelin's "IV," the Eagles' "Hotel California" and Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon."
“Number one, we want to do albums that deserve this kind of treatment, where you do them note for note and sound for sound. Albums that made a difference,” Willoughby said. “We truly go through the music forensically and dig up all the little parts and sounds.”
“Back In Black” has sold more than 49 million copies worldwide, second only to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” It was released on July 25, 1980, only five months after original lead signer Bon Scott died.
“They almost gave up. They almost didn’t go on after he died,” Willoughby said. “But they forged on and it really makes the album that much more emotional.”
Accurately duplicating the guitar licks of AC/DC’s Angus Young proved almost as challenging for Black Jacket Symphony as finding a lead singer. Willoughby says many cover bands don’t put in the work to break down the music and simply turn up the distortion.
“Angus Young has some of the best guitar sounds in the history of rock ’n’ roll, to me. And it’s not that distorted,” Willoughy said. “It’s an SG with a big Marshall amp, he’s not pushing it with pedals or anything. So we get the right equipment and get what it really sounds like.”
Studying the music so deeply often leaves Willoughby with an altered opinion of some of the most popular albums of all time. Occasionally, he’s less impressed by the end of the process. With “Back In Black,” he’s left with even more respect for what AC/DC accomplished.
“I came away with a bigger appreciation,” he said. “They do what they do well and they don’t try to do anything else. These are riffs that stay with you forever.”

Hello! My name is Rachael White, and I am currently a senior at Pitt Business pursuing a Marketing major with an Accounting concentration and certificates in Leadership and Ethics, International Business, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and Business Analytics. After my study abroad trip to Cape Town, South Africa in the summer of 2016, I became quite interested in the concept of the Bottom of the Pyramid as it relates to social entrepreneurship and innovation. My social entrepreneurship course in South Africa illuminated the close relationship social ventures have with the Bottom of the Pyramid. Most large companies in all industries shy away from the BOP in an effort to target the customer segments higher up the pyramid. This is largely due to the fact that the large companies tend to define their target market on an individual income level and narrow their market down to consumers with high income on an individual level. However, if companies instead looked at the total income across an entire level of the pyramid, they would realize that there is more collective wealth at the bottom of the pyramid than at the top. Since the large companies have, by and large, yet to address the collective wealth in the BOP, social ventures have developed and launched to accommodate the BOP. Consumers within the BOP have the same basic needs and desires as any other consumer market, and social entrepreneurs have recognized this and taken action to address it. As I myself have been interested in entrepreneurship for approximately seven years now, I have since become fascinated by the link between the BOP and the growth and success of innovative social ventures across the globe, specifically my own entrepreneurial venture. My fascination and interest has driven me to develop and pursue an independent research study that will allow me to research and analyze the relationship between the BOP, social entrepreneurship, and my entrepreneurial venture.
The purpose of this independent study is to look at my entrepreneurial venture, Beautiful Me, through the lens of the Bottom of the Pyramid and social entrepreneurship. More specifically, this study will analyze how Beautiful Me can engage dimensions of the Bottom of the Pyramid in the following three countries: South Africa, Germany, and Vietnam. The impact on the Bottom of the Pyramid would focus on the workforce of women making clothing in South Africa, the untapped consumer market of working women in Germany, and the textile manufacturing industry in Vietnam. The study will span the 2017-2018 academic year and would include both primary and secondary research. The primary research would include one weeklong study abroad trip to Berlin, Germany and one to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. In these respective cities, I will meet with both academic and industry professionals within the scope of the research focus in that location, consumer market of professional women and the textile and manufacturing industry, respectively. In addition, I plan to connect with incubators, accelerators, and social ventures in both cities. Through interviews with these sources, I will collect primary data on the BOP, the presence and characteristics of an untapped consumer market in Germany, and the textile and manufacturing industry in Vietnam. Since I have already visited South Africa and done some preliminary research on the BOP and social entrepreneurship, my primary research regarding the workforce of women in South Africa will consist of long distance interviews with some of my contacts from the study abroad program. All of this data will culminate into an analysis of how Beautiful Me can have a greater social impact and engage with different dimensions of the Bottom of the Pyramid in different cities across the world.
The secondary research will consist of a literature review of the popular and relevant books and other readings on the Bottom of the Pyramid, particularly as it relates to the specific dimensions of the Bottom of the Pyramid that I am focusing on in each location, and its relationship to social entrepreneurship in the South Africa, Germany, and Vietnam. Such secondary research will give me a solid foundation for the primary research to be performed on sight in the designated locations.
I am very excited to work on this research on the ground in Berlin to expand my knowledge in this research area, expand my professional network, and experience the culture of the beautiful city of Berlin. Stay tuned as I share my research experience as it sets in motion here in Berlin this week!

Premier League Clubs Concerned Over Extra Broadcast Rebates; Monday Matches Back On La Liga Agenda and More (Football Round-up)
Last week, top fight Premier League clubs were informed they would have to pay TV companies between $367 million and $429 million even if the 92 uplayed games are completed.
Premier League clubs are deeply concerned over the huge financial repercussions that might follow their broadcasters’ demand for heavy refunds, despite the completion of the season.
Last week, top fight clubs were informed they would have to pay TV companies between $367 million and $429 million even if the 92 uplayed games are completed. Despite plotting their way back, severe financial uncertainty looms ahead with a bill of around $824 million due to Sky Sport, BT Sport and other international broadcasters in case of cancellation.
They were also told that they are due to pay an extra $44 million discount for every week the season extends beyond July. Many clubs are worried about these demands as this could put them in a deep financial hole.
Despite many clubs resuming training, it is extremely unlikely for games to begin before 19 June. More delay however means more cost and according to the report by the Daily Telegraph, the payments will escalate depending upon when the season ends.
Further detail on the rebate model is set to be presented to the 20 clubs in their conference call next Tuesday or Thursday.
Monday Matches at La Liga
Monday night matches will return in Spain as clubs clamour to finish a season that has been on a hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Luis Rubiales, President of the Royal Spanish Football Federation led a successful campaign asked to dispense with fixtures on Monday, pleasing fans who complained about the time slots earlier this year. La Liga Chief Javier Tebas claimed that the variety of time slots attracts more broadcasters.
Despite having different opinions, both these institutions are united by the desire to finish the final 11 rounds of the matches without spectators and prevent a $1.09 billion financial catastrophe.
“I hope there will be matches on Mondays and that the federation shows some sensitivity. The situation with spectators isn’t a problem any more,” Tebas said on Sunday.
Nice CEO Plots Way Forward for Ligue 1
French football Ligue 1 conflict is raging and Nice CEO plans way forward
French football is in administrative freefall with internal disputes rocking through their club structures , a situation exacerbated by the cancellation of the Ligue 1 season due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The current Director of Lille OSC, Luis Campos demanded the rescission of his contract, Marseille director Andoni Zubizarreta resigned from his role citing disagreements with the club's president Jacques-Henri Eyraud.
Despite the chaos, CEO of OGC Nice, Bob Ratcliffe has expressed his satisfaction with how things have panned out this season. “It is what it is,” Ratcliffe said in an interview with the Guardian. Furthermore even as French clubs continue to collapse and suffer losses, Ratcliffe, who is head of football at INEOS -- the chemicals company that owns the French club and FC Lausanne in the Swiss second division -- said the parent company are eager to extend their football operation and are intending to acquire a third European Club in the coming future.
“It is something that we will look at, potentially another club that could provide that pathway. Because that is quite important to us,” he said. “I thought it was quite interesting that Manchester City have just bought that second division Belgian club. It would be a development pathway, so we can bring players through to Nice. As far as we are concerned, Nice is at the top of the pyramid.”
Ratcliffe expressed concerns about the uncertainty facing Lausanne, where he is president and has a more day-to-day role. The club are 15 points clear at the top of the Swiss second division, yet they may miss out on promotion if the season is voided.
In a damning statement he also castigated the way football associations have handled the crisis. “Sports administrators quite often have very good titles – they are chief executives or presidents – but they don’t behave like chief executives of companies in terms of guiding the way forward and being advocates,” he said. They tend to be more secretariat and that is what football suffers from to some extent.”
Watford's Mariappa Tests Positive
Adrian Mariappa is one of the six who have tested positive in the first round of Covid-19 testing at the Premier League
Watford defender Adrian Mariappa has publicly revealed that he is one of the three that tested positive for coronavirus. The 33- year old is one of the six positive results from the first round of testing at the Premier League.
Mariappa told the Telegraph: “Ever since I got my positive result back on Tuesday, I’ve been scratching my head to try to work out how I might have got coronavirus. It was a big surprise because I haven’t really left the house, apart from some exercise and the odd walk with the kids. I’ve mainly just been homeschooling and keeping fit.”
“The club doctor called to tell me and, to be honest, I did ask whether it could be 100 percent accurate or whether my results could have got muddled up. Maybe if I had been displaying any symptoms then it might have made sense. But in my head it wasn’t adding up,” he added.
Along with two other members of Watford staff, Burnley assistant manager Ian Woan also tested positive for coronavirus.
The positive results have caused panic amongst players across clubs who may soon be forced to take to the field to play out the remaining fixtures. Already, Watford Watford players like Troy Deeney have opted to stay away from training, to avoid contracting the virus and transmitting it to family members.
In a damning statement Newcastle United’s Danny Rose said that Premier League players were being treated like ‘lab rats’ after teams were granted permission to return to training in small groups this week.
“People are suggesting we should go back to football, like we’re guinea pigs or lab rats. We’re going to experiment this phase and see if it works or not,” Rose said on the Lockdown Tactics Podcast.
“I can just imagine people at home saying, ‘Well they earn that amount of money so they should be going back,” he said. “For stuff like that I think is it worth the hassle? I could be potentially risking my health for people’s entertainment and that’s not something I want to be involved in if I’m honest.”
100 Million Fine on FC Seoul
South Korea’s top division, K-League announced that its disciplinary committed had decided to fine FC Seoul around 100 million won ($81,454.45) for using sex dolls instead od mannequins to fill empty seatsduring their K-League match on Sunday.

On Monday FC Seoul issued an apology for their failure to check the consignments by the supplier and their unawareness of the dolls being ‘adult products’ and accpeted their mistake for not removing them before the game started.

What can compare to the thrill of unrolling freshly-woven cloth? Pulling, and pulling, and pulling until you get to the very beginning of the warp. As every towel unwinds, I do a micro evaluation, knowing that complete scrutiny comes later. I could not be happier with these towels! They are every bit as sensational off the loom as they were to weave. What a joy to be a weaver!
It wasn’t that long ago that I was winding lopsided quills, dropping the shuttle more than occasionally, and struggling to understand weaving drafts. Desire and a willingness to learn have pushed me through these and other barriers.
Willingness is more important than capability. Being willing sets the stage for learning. We all start incapable. God doesn’t expect us to be capable. He does expect us to be willing. God weaves His purposes on earth, not through the capable people, but through the willing. In weaving, and in life overall, I want to embrace and preserve the willingness factor that keeps me learning.
And as we yield our will to our Creator, what joy is ours as we learn how to truly live!
May you never stop learning.
