3 Unusual But Effective Ways To Spot A Psychopath
Psychopaths aren’t what the TV has taught us. They aren’t this murderous looking person waiting to pounce at their next target. Just like us, most of them lead a normal life. They blend in with us, and that makes it hard for us to spot them.
Psychopaths are people who have a mental disorder. Their brain is abnormally unresponsive when it comes to areas that deal with emotions, morality, and aggression. According to research by Live Science, 1% of the world’s population have psychopathy. If you’re wondering if you have this condition, you can take a psychopath test. However, if you’re curious to find out if someone you know is a psychopath, here are three ways to spot them.
They Have A Different Speech Pattern
According to Jeffrey Hancock, a communications professor at Cornell University — psychopaths often use past-tense verbs when conversing. This behavior has also been observed by Hancock when he talked to prisoners who were diagnosed with psychopathy. For example, instead of saying “I think it’s a nice day today,” psychopaths would say “I thought it was a nice day.” Their use of past-tense verbs are apparent and most of the time unnatural. A psychopath’s use of verbs in the past-tense shows detachment or indifference from their overall self.
Additionally, when compared non-psychopaths, they also use more word fillers such as “uhs” and “uhms.” The use of these words signifies a speech interruption that’s usually observed in people who continually needs to think about what they’re saying and avoid saying anything incriminating. For psychopaths, it’s also about putting a mask on to appear normal and sane.
Another thing that researchers found out about criminal psychopaths is their use of subordinating conjunctions. Words like “because”, “although” “since”, and “whether or not” are just some of the words that psychopaths often use more than non-psychopaths. This is because they want to provide logical reasoning as to why they behaved that way and to show a cause-and-effect relationship.
They Are Manipulative
Psychopaths are manipulative and cunning in a subtle way, and that’s what makes them dangerous at times. These people often put more importance to things like money and power. They manipulate people constantly and will show no remorse or guilt in doing so. They manifest manipulative behaviors like the following:
- They have an inauthentic charm – If you see that a person’s behavior and charm are inconsistent when they’re in front of other people, there’s a high chance that they’re a psychopath. Another way to tell that they have an inauthentic charm is when their language doesn’t have an emotional dimension to them. They might say something flattering, but their facial reaction may say otherwise.
- They put you at fault all the time – A psychopath likes to create chaos and put the blame on you. They’ll bait you into an argument to get you mad, and they’ll act surprised when you react negatively. This kind of behavior will make you doubt yourself and feel awful for even thinking wrongly of the person at fault.
- They make people turn against each other – Psychopaths love the attention, and when they’re present in your life, they will tell you things to make you dislike a person even without cause. They’ll make people turn against each other by acting innocent and acting like they’re someone who cares about it.
- They will tell you rich stories – If you’re always hearing rich stories from someone about themselves, chances are these stories are lies and they’re trying to gain your trust. Psychopaths tell great stories. In some stories, they like to paint themselves as the victim. But, most of the time their stories end with them being the hero.
These kinds of manipulative behavior are done either to get something out of it or just for amusement. They’ll leverage your emotions to manipulate you into doing what they want you to do. Being a victim of someone else’s manipulation can have a negative effect on your mental health and overall morale.
They Are Egoistical
Psychopaths will think highly of themselves and aren’t afraid to show authority over others. They exaggerate their achievements and other qualities. If they see a flaw in themselves, they project it towards other people. For example, a psychopath may think that she’s not pretty enough and she will project this flaw by insulting other people’s physical attributes.
Narcissism and psychopathy are often grouped together because they have this inflated self-confidence. They thrive in an environment where they get praises, but they are also sensitive when receiving criticism. When a psychopath receives an insult or criticism, they will often react to it with extreme rage and sometimes violently. This kind of behavior stems from their lack of shame and remorse.
If you encounter a person with a behavior included in this list, don’t immediately jump to the conclusion that they’re a psychopath. Some people can just be arrogant but, that doesn’t mean they have a mental disorder. Furthermore, being a psychopath doesn’t automatically make a person a serial killer. In some cases, people with psychopathy are people in power like CEOs and politicians. Knowing the type of person you’re dealing with can help you avoid being manipulated.

They may not "crack the internet", but each week two Taupō women give it a good shake.
On Facebook, recipe blogger Anna Cameron has 106,000 followers and Vanya Insull has 67,500. They are also on Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest and post blogs from their own websites.
They both say they are following their passion, but enough people engage online when they post a recipe to generate an income that is edging closer to what they used to earn pre-kids.
• Influencers quit social media two weeks after begging for money for an African trip
• Ice cream truck owner wins over the internet with his swipe at social media 'influencers'
• Company blasts Instagram influencers, makes more money without them
• Premium - Influencer marketing industry 'booming': inaugural NZ report
A banker in another life, Anna Cameron has paired her passion of baking with her enjoyment from making people happy at her website justamumnz.com. She puts her success down to authenticity.
"Genuine engagement and relationships will win every time when it comes to delivering the best outcomes."
She loves to share her recipes and other people's joy is her joy.
"I get a lot of surprised, 'I cooked it your way and it worked'. But I think a lot of viewers just like looking."
Chatting with people online is a big part of Anna and Vanya's individual success, because meaningful engagement is huge to their audience. When a post goes viral, Anna passes her phone to her kids and get them to press the like button while she cooks dinner, because so many people have reacted to a comment she has made.
She says it's important to respond with a like emoji because it makes her audience feel they are part of the tribe.
Their opinions are sought after by well-known New Zealand brands, they are both Countdown ambassadors, and they have the pleasure of trying out new products in advance of the public. Anna was recently sent a lock box from Cadbury, with strict embargo instructions.
The next day the key arrived and Anna set about creating Caramilk No Bake Slice, a recipe that has gone viral.
Currently 1.9 million people had been reached, and it's still rising. The recipe generated 10,000 reactions, 53,000 comments and was shared more than 7000 times. And this is not the first time it's happened - her butterscotch pudding has 1.8 million views.
A strategy of driving social media traffic to her website resulted in 198,000 views from that one post on September 24. Anna says in the background to her success is a lot of learning and doing online courses. She says Instagram is for engagement and brand building, but Facebook is where she gets all the clicks.
"To be good on social media, you need to be very anti-social."
With an artistic edge as former art director at magazines Taste, Good Health, and Cleo, Vanya set up her Facebook page @VJCooks in 2016 to share her recipe videos with friends and family. Within two months she knew she was onto something.
"The Mango Pavlova video went viral."
Sharing up to four videos a week on Instagram Story Maker, she gets huge satisfaction out of improving people's confidence in their own ability to cook dinner and make delicious baking. Vanya says people assume she works for a big company.
"But it's just me and my lounge."
With five scheduled posts a day, Vanya refers to Facebook as "the beast" and has educated herself on the nuances of social media.
"You have to really understand Facebook. Most Kiwi influencers don't understand it properly."
She built a big audience with Facebook but wanted to build her own brand. Within six months of launching vjcooks.com she was up to 25,000 impressions a month and was picked up by advertising agency Media Vine and then approached by Countdown to be an ambassador.
Vanya's main source of revenue is sponsored posts, while Anna's main revenue is from ads. They both say how crazy it is to make money from putting stuff on the internet.
The friends met on Facebook, not believing their luck that two of the best food bloggers in New Zealand live in Taupō. They help each other out, talk all the time, text at all hours of the night, admit to spending far too much time at the supermarket and joke they are on a never-ending mission to find the best egg bennies in town.

Here is a summary of my current understanding on how the order parameters are reproduced by other force fields than the Berger:
In all-atom force fields CHARMM [Klauda et al. JPCB 114, 7830 (2010)] and GAFF [Dickson et al. Soft Matter 8, 9617 (2012)], the headgroup and glycerol group order parameters are relatively well reproduced. However, in the case of CHARMM it is not clearly reported if order parameter splitting is observed for the alpha and beta carbons.
For the Stockholm lipids [Jämbeck et al. JPCB 116, 3164 (2012)], I have not seen order parameters calculated for headgroup or glycerol. Similarly I have not seen comparison for the united atom models by Kukol [JCTC 5, 615 (2009)] or Chiu et al. [JPCB 113, 2748–2763 (2009)].
Poger et al. [J Comput Chem 31: 1117–1125, (2010)] write about their united atom model: "At 323K they found values of ν of approximately 5, 6, and 28 kHz for the methylenes α, β, and δ, respectively, yeilding the corresponding |SCD| values of 0.05, 0.04, and 0.22. The deuterium order parameters calculated from the simulations are consistent with the experiments with |SCD| values of 0.09 ± 0.01, 0.01 ± 0.01, and 0.16 ± 0.01 for the methylenes at positions α, β, and δ, respectively." They do not mention about splittings. To me it seems that these results are rather similar to those in the manuscript, but my interpretation was that the simulations and experiments are not consistent.
In my opinion, it would be useful to have a united atom model which would reproduce the correct structure for the headgroup and glycerol. It might be that either the Kukol or the Chiu force field already achieves this. This should, obviously, be tested first.
If these two do not work, there are many possible approaches that could be tried to fix the issue:
- Both CHARMM and GAFF developers relate the issue into the dihedral potentials. One way to approach the problem would be to take an all-atom dihedral potential that reproduces the experimental order parameters and transform it into the united-atom form. I do not have a clear idea, however, how this should be done in practise.
- It would be interesting to try to construct possible dihedral angle distributions from the experimental order parameters by some numerical fitting methods, for example, with the methods presented by Thaning et al. [JPCB 111, 13638 (2007)].
- There are some suggestions in the literature how the headgroup should behave in order to generate the measured order parameters. Quoting from Ferreira et al. [PCCP, 15, 1976 (2013)]: " The first detailed model for the structure of the choline headgroup and glycerol backbone was built based on 2H and 31P NMR results from DPPC bilayers and crystallography studies [Seelig et al. BBA 467, 109 (1977), Pearson et al. Nature 281, 499 (1979)]. This model assumes rapid transitions between two enantiomeric choline states, a free rotation around the Cg1–Cg2–Cg3–O dihedral, and the assumption that the Cg2–Cg3 bond is on average perpendicular to the plane of the bilayer [Seelig et al. BBA 467, 109 (1977)]. Such description captures almost all NMR parameters; however, the last two assumptions are not compatible with the two distinct order parameters for Cg3, and thus other models were proposed e.g. in which the angle of the Cg1–Cg2–Cg3–O dihedral was completely fixed [Hong et al. Biochemistry 35, 8335 (1996)]." One option for us would be to directly include these ideas into the MD model.
- Finally, it might also be useful to remember that based on very recent NMR results, it seems that the headgroup and glycerol dynamics is too slow in the Berger force field [Ferreira PhD thesis].

In part 8 of the Japanese tanks illustration column, we bring you the Chi-Nu Kai! Illustrator sdkfz depicts the improved version of the Chi-Nu with the powerful 7.5 cm Tank Gun Type 5 in a scene with Mount Fuji!
The Type 3 medium tank Chi-Nu was created to oppose the M4 Sherman medium tanks, but surprisingly, its main problem lay in the gun. The gun on the Chi-Nu was a 75 mm tank gun. This was a modified version of the experimental 7.5 cm self-propelled gun Type 1 derived from the Type 90 field gun. This new gun was an impromptu weapon and the research for it only started in June 1944. With 38 caliber and a muzzle velocity of 668 m/s, it was nevertheless a formidable weapon compared to the 37.5 caliber, 620 m/s gun of the M4 Sherman.
The Type 3 tank gun on the Chi-Nu was, however, a makeshift weapon. The gun used propellant gas to absorb the recoil, but the vehicle does not have a ventilation system. And so after firing a few rounds, the gas fills the inside of the vehicle, greatly discomforting the crew. Also, the odd layout forced the gunner to spot the target and lay the gun, while the commander did the actual “firing” of the gun. It was not a very comforting vehicle to be on in a life-or-death situation of a tank battle.
The Chi-Nu Kai mounted the 7.5 cm tank gun Type 5 in order to address the problems of the original Chi-Nu with the least effort. This tank gun was developed from an anti-aircraft gun, and by January 1945 the development of this gun was well in progress. A prototype was made by slightly modifying the gun mount to fit the tank gun on the Chi-Nu. This produced favorable results, and this gun was adopted as the official gun for the Chi-Nu thereafter, resulting in the Chi-Nu Kai.
In a nutshell, the Chi-Nu Kai is “a powerful gun with no armour.” The Type 5 tank gun had a caliber of 56, muzzle velocity of 850 m/s, enough to penetrate the M4 Sherman with ease. If the gun had been mass-produced, and placed on the existing Chi-Nu, this would have solved the problem, at least in terms of the offensive capabilities. In World of Tanks, you can see the resulting vehicle by upgrading the Tier V Chi-Nu to its final form or by using the Tier V premium tank Chi-Nu Kai. Being able to see vehicles like this is one of the neat features of World of Tanks.
Commentary by: Tadamasa Miyanaga, Military Advisor of Wargaming ASIA
The final form of the tanks derived from the Chi-Ha.
The variety of vehicles based on the Chi-Ha reminds of the German Pzkpfw. IV.
I wish to see the many other variations in WoT in the future.

No income, no student loan repayment? GOP proposal arouses skepticism
Senate Republicans have included a permanent change to ease the burden of student loan repayments in their initial shot of another big coronavirus aid bill being negotiated in Congress. But advocates for student borrowers rejected the idea.
Spurred on by Senator Lamar Alexander, the Republican from Tennessee who heads the health, education, work and pensions committee, Proposal would consolidate the nine current student loan repayment programs into just two.
“In March, Congress agreed that 43 million Americans who have student loans would not have to pay a monthly payment until October 1,” Alexander said.
“October 1 is just around the corner, so what we’re suggesting is that if you have no income, you have no monthly payments. If you have income, we are changing the student loan payment system so that you never have to pay more than 10% of your income after deducting basic necessities like mortgage and food.
The 10% would only apply to incomes above 150% of the federal poverty line, now $ 19,140 per year for an individual. Borrowers who earn less than this would have no monthly payments.
In addition to the income-based plan, Alexander’s proposal would also allow a standard 10-year mortgage-style repayment plan.
Overhauling the student loan system has long been a priority for lawmakers, especially as they have considered rewriting the higher education law that underlies most federal college and university laws.
But consensus has been elusive between Democrats and Republicans, and Alexander’s proposal, who is withdrawing from Congress, is remarkable in that, unlike other parts of the Republicans Senate package of bills, it would be a permanent change, not a temporary one. change related to virus outbreak.
Advocates for student borrowers, however, were unimpressed.
On the one hand, that wouldn’t prolong the March CARES law hiatus on student loan payments, collections and accrued interest. Lawyers worry for months that student loan borrowers are not prepared to resume their debt payments given the economic devastation caused by the continuing pandemic.
The resumption of payments and collections will have particularly devastating consequences for borrowers who default on their student loans, said Persis Yu, director of the Student Borrower Assistance Project at the National Consumer Law Center.
“Borrowers will start receiving collection calls from debt collectors on October 1,” Yu said. Additionally, under the proposal, the Education Ministry can presumably resume using its extraordinary collection powers. to recover overdue student loans, including garnishing wages and clearing social security benefits and tax refunds, Yu said.
“What’s crazy, there is always a pandemic raging,” she said.
For borrowers who are up to date with their loans, Alexander’s proposal offers less flexibility than what is already available, Yu said. includes a series of repayment plans with several that allow borrowers to repay their loans as a percentage of their income with the option of forgiveness after a certain number of years of repayment.
The complexity of the system was a cause for concern for borrower advocates for years and addressing it has been a goal of Alexander for some time, but his proposal eliminates some of the choices borrowers have in the current system, Yu said.
For example, currently married student loan borrowers who file their taxes separately from their spouse can opt for a repayment plan that only assesses their own income instead of including their spouses as well. According to Alexander’s proposal, this option is removed.
Under the current system, some graduate school debtors can use a repayment plan that allows their debt to be written off after 20 years of income-related payments. Under Alexander’s plan, borrowers with graduate debt must make payments for 25 years to receive a discount.
Current student loan borrowers who like their repayment plan can keep it under Alexander’s proposal, but borrowers who begin repayment after October 1 should choose from the new options. Current student loan borrowers who work on Civil Service Loan Forgiveness – a program that allows public servants to recover their federal student loan debt after 120 payments – would be subject to a penalty under the proposed loan. ‘Alexander if they change their repayment plan.
“It’s a worse version of what we already have,” Yu said of Alexander’s proposal.
There may also be challenges in implementing Alexander’s plan. Borrower advocates have complained for years that student loan companies are not doing enough to ensure borrowers end up with the most affordable repayment plan they are entitled to. They were already concerned that student loan companies would be slammed with calls to change repayment plans once the CARES Act payment hiatus is over.
Under typical circumstances, the change in repayment plan can take several weeks for borrowers. “There is no way to create a new repayment plan in two months,” Yu said.

Researchers have developed devices to automate blood smears to help with easier diagnosis of malaria, according to research published on January 18 in the journal Review of Scientific Instruments.
Malaria is typically diagnosed by analyzing blood smears through a microscope. The devices, called the autohaem smear and autohaem smear+, can consistently create high-quality smears equivalent to those created by human experts.
Performing a blood smear is a laborious and repetitive task, and is frequently done incorrectly by technicians, with a failure rate exceeding 80% in some areas, according to the researchers, led by Samuel McDermott of the department of physics at Cambridge University.
"In some countries, up to 81.5% of blood smears are prepared incorrectly," McDermott said. "If a blood smear is prepared incorrectly, when examined under a microscope, the technician will struggle to make a correct diagnosis. Because these smears are often made in a rural clinic and sent to a regional facility for examination, any issues in the smear could cause days of delay."
The researchers said that their autohaem smear and smear+ devices solve these problems by ensuring that the smears are correct and consistent. The autohaem smear+ is fully automated, with a motorized smearing mechanism that allows inexperienced technicians to produce expert-quality smears in tests, the researchers reported.
In addition, the devices are easy to build, using readily available or 3D-printed components, with all software and hardware open source and freely available, according to a news release.
The researchers plan to test the devices in real-world conditions at the Ifakara Health Institute in Tanzania.
"They will be able to manufacture and use the devices as part of their research," McDermott said. "We will be able to use their feedback to improve the design of the device for rural clinics."

By now everyone has heard the story of the courageous pilot who set his plane down on the Hudson River without crashing the plane and allowing all 150 passengers to get off with only one serious casualty, one woman broke both her legs. It struck me almost immediately that this is a clear sign of the changing of an era, the Bush Era of Incompetence. With Bush leaving office and Obama about to come in it's as if all America has suddenly found their inner competence once again. That suddenly we know once again that we are what we have always been, a courageous, resourceful and competent nation, a nation of heroes when it's been demanded of us. In the Bush Era we were reduced to sniveling cowards who couldn't do anything right but that day is gone.
Rachel Maddow has an interesting take on this, that it took training and preparation, time and tax dollars, for everything to be in place that morning on the Hudson. It was an investment in ourselves, in our ability to be resourceful, in our desire to have on hand what we need in an emergency. This is something the Republicans have never understood, that money and training must be spent if we are to be other than helpless victims of circumstances.

Third person in week drowns at Lake Berryessa
Published 4:00 am, Saturday, September 12, 2009
Napa County authorities are investigating whether alcohol played a role in the drowning of a 40-year-old Napa woman in Lake Berryessa.
Shannon Johnson, 40, was the third person to drown in the lake this week and the sixth since April.
She was swimming with friends at 3 p.m. Thursday near Acorn Beach when she disappeared under the water. Her companions pulled her to shore and performed CPR before rescue workers arrived.
Johnson died at 1 a.m. at St. Helena Hospital.
"Alcohol was definitely involved," sheriff's Capt. Tracey Stuart said Friday. An autopsy will be performed Monday.

Experimental analysis of vertical axis wind turbine active pitch control system with Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor using MATLAB Simulink tools
Keywords: VAWT, pitch control, PMSM, wind turbine, MATLAB
AbstractEfficient vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) technology is a key topic for the future wind energy market. At the moment, VAWTs are seldom used for electricity production. The development of new technologies for building a new generation of VAWTs, which will be more efficient, user-friendly, and with very low noise pollution levels is the target for many researchers. The goal of this research was to analyse an active pitch control system in an experimental setting through construction of an active pitch control system test bench using a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) and to develop new testing programmes for analytical system performance tests. The current commercial turbines do not carry an active pitch system for a VAWT; however, the concept of an active turbine blade pitching opens new opportunities for boosting the efficiency, safety, and user-friendliness of VAWTs. The research consists of the mathematical model and control system operating in a simulation environment in a closed loop with the test bench setup consisting of an active pitch control system. By applying a specially developed VAWT simulation model implemented in MATLAB Simulink, an active pitch system was tested and analysed under various conditions, which were as close as possible to the real-world operating conditions. The results of the testing and analysis show that an active pitch system using the PMSM can be very efficient and fast-operating. An active pitch system is able to work on the needed conditions by using the PMSM. Analysis shows that while using the PMSM for a turbine active pitch system, certain conditions should be taken into account in order to achieve the best results and to reduce costs. Full and effective use of active pitch system components can improve VAWT performance.

With the said videos and all of its other Funny Friday posts, Green Bean Buddy aims to entertain its followers.
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) January 04, 2013
Green Bean Buddy has updated its Funny Friday. And for its first funny post in 2013, it picked “Funny Winter Bloopers” as its theme.
As the site said, with the coldness winter brings, it would be nice to just stay in bed and hibernate. However, it also said that there are many great and fun things that one could do during winter. But when doing them, it warned the people to always be careful, lest they'll be a source of laughter and embarrassment.
To emphasize its point and to provide entertainment to its readers as well, Green Bean Buddy decided to share ten hilarious winter videos for its latest Funny Friday. The clips generally feature literal and metaphorical breaking the ice moments of people and animals falling and slipping on ice.
With the said videos and all of its other Funny Friday posts, Green Bean Buddy aims to entertain its followers. It hopes to give them moments to simply laugh out loud and lighten up.
Nonetheless, the site said that it shares not just funny videos and images. It stated that it's also about informing and helping others. So apart from hilarious clips and graphics, it added that it relates news and posts how-to pieces as well.
As Green Bean Buddy itself said, the news it usually shares is either about politics, technology, sports and entertainment. Meanwhile, it stated that its help articles are often centered on do-it-yourself projects and home cleaning products reviews.

Pharmaceutical and biotechnology major Wockhardt has announced the launch of its new insulin (Glaritus), a recombinant long acting human insulin analogue. Wockhardt is the 1st company in the world after the innovator to launch this new insulin (Glaritus) that works slowly for over 24 hours.
Currently, the worldwide market for this insulin (Glargine) is $2 billion. As per ORG IMS, the current market for analogues in India is Rs 120 crore growing at 37 per cent per annum.
This new insulin (Glaritus) has been successfully clinically tested on 300 diabetic patients for safety & efficacy parameters and is approved by the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI).
"Back in 2003, when I promised that we would launch Glaritus, the world's most advanced insulin, there was disbelief all around. Today, the world will look at India in admiration. The nation's biotechnology prowess would once again be a global talking point," said Habil Khorakiwala, chairman.
"Wockhardt becomes the first company in the biotechnology space to move from simple biologicals to complex biologicals with vast experience in both, E.coli and Yeast platforms," he further added.
The launch of Glaritus is a significant landmark for India, which has one of the highest diabetes affected populations in the world. The advantage of Glaritus is that it is a once daily dose and provides basal glucose control over 24 hours. Glaritus can hence be easily combined with other oral medications of diabetes for effective blood glucose control. Moreover, Glaritus is meal independent, peakless insulin, which reduces incidences of hypoglycaemia significantly. All this translates into more compliance to insulin therapy, improved blood glucose control and therefore slower progression of diabetes related complications.
Glaritus is available to the patients as reusable and disposable pen delivery devices. Wockhardt is one of the few select companies in the world to patent the technology of pen based insulin delivery devices, which is one of the most preferred modes of insulin injection across the globe today. Wockhardt insulin pen devices are ISO 11608 approved and have won the IndiaStar, AsiaStar and the WorldStar awards for excellence in packaging technology for 2008.
Glaritus is manufactured at Wockhardt's state-of-the-art biotech park in Aurangabad. Wockhardt, over the recent years has built a comprehensive diabetes management portfolio that includes insulins, oral medications, blood glucose monitors & diabetes nutrition products.

How has your week been?
I've had a great week, especially as my builder finished all his amazing work in my house on Monday. I've thoroughly enjoyed putting out treasured trinkets, favourite cushions, putting up pictures, and finally making this new space feel more like home.
It seems like an age since I made my first magazine commission in this house, back in July!
The lovely Editor of Pretty Patches magazine sent me some Alison Glass Sun Print fabrics (you can see the full collection here).
What a wonderful explosion of colour! I kept the design simple with half square triangle diamonds in the wonderful rainbow rounds of the prints.
Sadly I wasn't able to take any pictures of the quilt on completion (due to the building site that surrounded me!) but I promise I will when it is returned to me.
In the meantime, I will leave you with the wonderful pictures in Pretty Patches magazine.
Hi! I’m Jude. Welcome to Just Jude Designs! This is where I talk about my sewing endeavours, quilting classes & pattern design. I hope you can stay a while!

‘Need for change’ in automotive design: Bangle
Outspoken former BMW Group design chief Chris Bangle believes today's car designers are stuck in a rut and says the industry's inability to view itself objectively is holding back progress.
Bangle told industry journal Automotive News Europe the current crop of automotive designers is trapped in a phase he calls “mannerisms”, employing the same techniques and elements as they have for years.
“There is a real need for a change and that's just not happening,” Bangle said.
The pioneering designer, whose resume includes the fabric-skinned, shape-shifting 2008 BMW Gina sports car concept (pictured), says there is a lack of innovation in the industry.
“Even concept cars today simply anticipate the next production model coming down the line. Is this innovation? No. And at the end of the day this is what's preventing car design from moving into a new era," he said.
A number BMW’s of most polarising and controversial designs were penned under his leadership, including the previous-generation 5, 6 and 7 Series models, the original Z4 sports car and the current X6 crossover.

There’s no shortage of delicious donut places near our home, but a donut run for our family usually costs us around $20, which seems a bit of a splurge these days. So I decided to see how hard it would be to make donuts at home.
I’m a “raised glazed” fan and the most authentic way to recreate that type of donut at home is to deep fry it. But who wants to deal with all that? So I took to my kitchen to figure out a great but easy way to make raised glazed donuts in my air fryer.
And. I. Did.
Two ways, actually.
The first way I tried was an air-fried biscuit dough variation using Grands biscuits. I tried both the “flaky layers” style and the “Southern buttermilk” style. Hands down, the flaky layers won. Their texture was much more donut-y than the buttermilk kind, which literally baked up like biscuits with holes in them.
My kids absolutely LOVED these donuts and gobbled them up quickly, so they will definitely be made here again. If you’re looking for a quick and easy air fryer donut recipe that your kids can help make and enjoy eating, then my Variation 1 recipe is perfect.
But if you are more of a donut purist like myself, you may be more interested in my Variation 2 recipe. It’s slightly more work since you have to thaw frozen dough, roll it out, and let it rise for an hour, but it is much closer to a traditional raised glazed donut.
As great as the biscuit dough donuts were, I couldn’t quite get past the fact that the donuts had layers. To me, they were basically biscuits dressed up like donuts. They were beautiful but felt more like a sugary biscuit instead of a donut.
So I walked the aisles of my local Rouses looking for a potential solution until I came upon Bridgford Ready-Dough in the freezer section. I bought the $4 3-pack of frozen bread dough loaves and pulled out a loaf to thaw in the fridge overnight. (The bag also has microwave thawing directions, but I didn’t try this method.)
The next morning, I rolled out the dough on a floured surface and used my trusty donut cutter to make my donuts. A single roll gave me 6 regular-sized donuts with 6 donut holes, and left me with a minimal amount of dough that I formed into a long john shape.
I sprayed some parchment paper on a baking sheet, laid out the donuts, loosely covered them with some more parchment paper, and set it on top of my dryer while it was running. I set a timer for an hour and then went back to check on them.
They looked great! So I preheated my air fryer to 360 degrees and sprayed my air fryer trays with cooking oil (I use a Misto sprayer). I gently placed the donuts on the trays and sprayed them with oil as well.
I popped them into my air fryer and set a timer for 7 minutes. While my donuts were air frying, I made my glaze. After 7 minutes, the top rack donuts were definitely more golden brown than the bottom rack, but both were fully cooked.
I’d say if you’re looking for a more authentic donut at home, it’s worth it to go the Variation 2 route. That bread dough is much closer to the actual texture of store-bought donuts and worth it!
No matter which donut variation you make, I found it best to immediately submerge each hot donut into the glaze and set them on the cooling rack to drain. Glazing the hot donuts keeps them pillowy soft.
If you’d like to do chocolate-dipped sprinkle donuts (our house’s favorite!), be sure to let your glazed donuts cool completely before dunking them in the chocolate glaze so that you don’t have a melted mess on your hands. (Though that is still delicious!)
I used the same basic and chocolate glaze recipes for both donut recipe variations and had no complaints about either. The Basic glaze is from Food Network and the Chocolate one is from Epicurious. The recipes as stated both made more than enough to coat 8 Grands biscuit donuts or 1 loaf of frozen bread dough donuts.
Variation 1: Quickie Air Fryer Donuts (made with Biscuit Dough)
- 1 8-count tube Grands Flaky Layers biscuits
- Cooking oil spray
Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees. Pop open your biscuit dough tube and separate into biscuits. Use a donut cutter or small 1-inch round cutter to make the donut hole. Separate your holes from the donuts and coat both sides of each with cooking spray. Cook in air fryer (5 minutes for donuts, 3 minutes for holes). While donuts are cooking, prepare your glaze(s). As soon as the donuts come out of the air fryer, dunk them in the glaze and let them cool on cooling racks so the excess glaze can drip off. If you want to dip in chocolate glaze, let them cool completely before dunking.
Variation 2: Air Fryer Donuts (made with Frozen Bread Dough)
- 1 loaf Bridgford frozen bread dough, thawed
- Flour for dusting rolling surface
- Cooking oil spray
Roll your thawed dough out on a floured surface. Use a donut cutter or 2 sizes of round cutters to make the donut shapes. Separate your holes from the donuts. Arrange on a lightly sprayed parchment paper-lined baking sheet and loosely cover with more parchment paper. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour (I set them on top of my running dryer.) After an hour, preheat air fryer to 360 degrees and coat both sides of donuts and holes with cooking spray. Cook in air fryer (7 minutes for donuts, 5 minutes for holes). While donuts are cooking, prepare your glaze(s). As soon as the donuts come out of the air fryer, dunk them in the glaze and let them cool on cooling racks so the excess glaze can drip off. If you want to dip in chocolate glaze, let them cool completely before dunking.

Service at Savannah Civic Center calls for unity, action
The stage in the Johnny Mercer Theater was set with two Christmas trees, two leather armchairs and two candelabras, making for a cozy atmosphere for the 45th annual Candlelight Communion Service hosted by St. John Baptist Church on Sunday night.
The evening began with a pre-show performance from the Fortress Senior Saints Dance Ministry and Children's Choir.
The auditorium was nearly at capacity by 5 p.m. when the call to worship was given, and some began to fill into the balcony. The congregation stood and lifted their cellphones and battery-operated candles for the candlelight processional, swaying to the hymn "Christians Hold Your Light."
Mayor-elect Eddie DeLoach said the evening's first prayer, asking for healing for Savannah.
"The day of politicking is over and it's time to unite and move forward in our community," he said. "And I tell you the truth, I'll be the first to lead the way."
During the service, a memorial roll call was given for the nearly 60 people who have lost their lives to violent crime this year in Savannah.
"Tonight we take this moment within our own city to acknowledge that regardless of race, creed or color, lives matter," said St. John Baptist Church Pastor George P. Lee, III.
"We want you to know that your family member is being acknowledged as a family member that deserved to live," Lee said.
Family members of those whose names were called were asked to stand so that the ushers could present them with a white rose, representing the life that was lost.
The congregation joined in numerous hymns throughout the service, and after the offering was taken, the evening's guest psalmist, Vickie Winans, was introduced.
Winans, who delayed a trip to Hong Kong in order to attend the candlelight communion service, used her time in front of the congregation to crack a few jokes at Eddie DeLoach's expense - namely his dancing and clapping at the beginning of the service. She also marketed her new jewelry line, which she said she was heading to Hong Kong to launch.
Winans ended her stage time with a performance of "Long as I got King Jesus."
After Winans left the stage, Pastor Lee took his place at the podium to begin the evening message.
The theme of the message was "And on Earth, peace," taken from a passage in Luke 2:14.
Lee's focus was on the well-being of the community and the young people in Savannah.
"The young people of our community need the church of God to accept them as they are," he said. "Stop trying to make them something that the Holy Ghost has not yet done inside of them.
He also said that it was time for the church to act in response to the violence, instead of waiting for the police and politicians to fix things.
"We don't need to wait for city council or the mayor," he said. "There are enough folks in this building tonight to take back our families and our children."

*All reviews are from Japanese customers, for your reference.
This is a long, functional Gamaguchi-Long Wallet finished by Japanese wallet craftsmen.
I had an image of a Gamaguchi wallet as an old-fashioned, coin purse, but I was surprised to find such a functional, stylish, beautiful, and lovely long wallet.
The design is a beautiful gingham check woven in Yasura warp.
Yasura-tate is a weave in which two colors, white and black, are woven on a single loom.
The combination of colors varies, but the warp and weft intertwine as various weave structures as a characteristic of the textile, and the colors change subtly depending on the warp color.
The size is large (13.5 cm (length) X 22.5 cm (width) X 3 cm (gusset)), so it has enough storage capacity as a wallet, including a coin purse, card slots, and bill compartment.

One of the many things we learned from the Kyle Rittenhouse trial is that there’s a ton of misinformation about hollow-point ammo. So much misinformation, in fact, that the judge had to interrupt the prosecutor who asked Rittenhouse if hollow-point ammunition is designed to “explode” inside the animal if you were hunting. Explode? No, it neither explodes nor is it designed to explode.
The anti-gun crowd has been spreading misinformation about hollow-point ammunition for decades. Is it on purpose? Perhaps, but it also may just be a simple lack of education for many people. Heck, even a lot of gun owners are confused about what hollow points are and what they are not. So, let’s dig into how this common self-defense ammunition works and the common myths around it.
How Do Hollow Points Work?
Hollow points look very different than a standard target round with a full metal jacket. Specifically, the tips of this type of ammunition are hollow and usually have some sort of indentation or cuts into the metal jacket. This design allows them to expand on impact – not explode – whereas a standard hard-nose round tends to penetrate the target and continue on its path.
When a hollow point hits a target, the nose expands and creates more surface area to the bullet itself. This helps stop the forward motion of the bullet inside the target instead of going straight through and hitting something else. The way the bullet expands varies by manufacturer and design, but all effectively work on the same principle.
Are Hollow Points Dangerous?
Generally, a hollow point is used as a self-defense round both by the general public and law enforcement. They are specifically designed for controlled penetration to reduce the chance of collateral damage and improve the amount of energy transferred from the bullet into the intended target.
This is especially important in public settings like large crowds, home defense, and a myriad of other scenarios when you wouldn’t want a bullet to overpenetrate the intended target. It could continue down its path through walls, doors, or even the body of an attacker and impact an innocent bystander. At the same time, all that energy that was meant to stop an attacker is now lost as it continues to drive the bullet forward.
You’ve probably seen it on television over and over again. The investigator gets to the body, sees the entry wound, rolls the body over, and says, “It’s a through and through.” A standard full metal jacket round doesn’t stop until something significant stops it. Hollow points are designed to maximize energy transferred to the target and minimize the risks to anything else.
Are Hollow Points Bad for Hunting?
Designed to expand on impact, it is a myth that these rounds aren’t suitable for hunting because they would “explode” and destroy any chance of usable meat from the target animal. In fact, they can be a more humane, creating nearly instantaneous kill, and decrease the likelihood of having to track a mortally wounded animal as it bleeds out slowly.
Are Hollow Points Less Accurate?
It’s a myth that hollow-point rounds aren’t as accurate as a standard target bullet because of the difference in aerodynamics. In fact, some competitive shooters prefer them over target rounds because of their velocity and increased accuracy, generally at shorter distances.
Are Hollow Points Illegal?
No, hollow points bullets are not illegal in the United States.
Why Are Hollow Points Called Cop Killers?
Hollow points also get a bad reputation because of accusations that they are “cop killers” by the anti-gun crowd. Actually, right now, most police in the U.S. are carrying some form of hollow-point or other self-defense-specific rounds in their guns every single day. Why, because they help them stop dangerous threats and minimize risks to innocent people.
Hollow points have basically gotten a bad rap since the 1930s when they were first introduced. Modern misinformation about these rounds is basically the product of anti-gun arguments, Hollywood fantasy, and general ignorance. They’ve come a long way since the 1930s, but correct information regarding their purpose has not. They are not “cop killers,” they are simply the best choice for a self-defense, home defense, and sometimes even hunting rounds.
So, why the constant bad press? The anti-gun narrative will stoop to any level to put a bad spin on a story, especially if it’s a story about a good guy with a gun. Calling them “cop killers” or “armor piercing” makes for a better headline than just calling them what they are: effective, efficient, and accurate self-defense bullets.

Learn to Make Guacamole & More Mexican Delights with El Verano Chef Julian Medina
Here’s a chance to learn how to make award-winning chef Julian Medina’s authentic guacamole while joining him for signature bites and a blackberry twist on holiday cheer.
The El Verano chef-owner – who’s behind the Upper East Side’s El Fish in NYC, recently recognized as a new addition to the Michelin Guide – is hosting a first-of-its-kind cooking class at the Southampton Village eatery (10 Windmill Lane) on Thursday, December 14 from 5:30–7:30 p.m.
What’s on the agenda?
First, you’ll make (and, of course, sip) a special welcome Blackberry Margarita made with Patron Ahumado. Next, the former Iron Chef: America contestant will demonstrate how to make his signature guacamole — all students on hand will make their own guacamole while filling up on a rotation of El Verano’s delectable appetizers.
Lastly, the chef will show how he makes El Verano’s specialty Chile Relleno.
“Everyone’s going to make the guacamole in the traditional volcanic bowl, called a Molcajete,” Medina told us. “And they’re going to eat and drink while we show how to cook the mole we use on our signature chicken enchiladas. It’s a fruit-forward Mole that you can pair with chicken, fish, enchiladas, with duck, with beef. it’s a really nice balanced sauce that you can use with anything.”
The Mexico City-born chef also promised that attendees will take home plenty of swag, including an authentic Molcajete bowl, a gift from Patron and, of course, festive recipes that will last a lifetime.
Tickets to the event can be purchased here.


Scholz, from the Social Democratic Party (SPD), who was the Prime Minister of the State of Hamburg in the 2011-2018 period, answered the questions of the deputies in the investigative commission established to shed light on the scandal.
Lawmakers want to reveal whether Scholz, as Chancellor of the State of Hamburg, helped prevent him from repaying 47m euros in taxes to the Hamburg-based Warburg Bank, which was allegedly involved in the tax scandal.
In a statement after the meeting, which lasted about 3.5 hours, Scholz stated that it was a good and interesting session with clear results, adding, “There was no political influence on the decisions of the financial administration and the administration. There is no event that contradicts this statement.” said.
Stating that he found it good to deal with the subject in depth in the short session, Scholz said, “I expected it to take much longer. The fact that it went quickly and quickly shows the fact that everything is on the table. From this, it can be clearly concluded that ‘nothing was and there was no effect’.” used the phrase.
“I don’t know, I don’t remember” answers from the Prime Minister
According to the news in the German press, Scholz stated that he frequently answered “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember” to the questions asked by the deputies in the commission, and that he hoped that the suspicions and accusations without any evidence would come to an end.
Christian Democratic Union Party (CDU) Hamburg State Deputy and Research Commission Member Götz Wiese stated that Scholz, who did not make any contribution to the clarification of the incident, “again suffered from memory loss” and said that this was disappointing.
The Cologne Prosecutor’s Office conducts an investigation
In addition to the Investigation Commission in the Hamburg State Assembly, the Cologne Public Prosecutor’s Office is also investigating.
Cologne Prosecutor’s Office had searched the buildings of various financial institutions in Hamburg, Frankfurt and Munich, and the ministry during Scholz’s time as Finance Minister, on suspicion of tax evasion through transactions called “Cum-Ex”.
In this investigation, it was revealed that more than 200 thousand euros were found in the private safe of Johannes Kahrs, a former SPD Bundestag deputy and close to Scholz, and the messages sent to Scholz’s e-mail address, which he used during his time as the Hamburg State Prime Minister, were examined.
It was also revealed that Scholz used contradictory statements regarding his meetings with Christian Olearius, one of the Warburg Bank partners, in the statements he made at the Bundestag Finance Committee.
In the “Cum-Ex” investigation, known as “the biggest tax fraud scandal in the history of Germany”, it was revealed that wealthy investors and lawyers, especially bankers, systematically signed complex stock deals with the state to repay the taxes they had never paid.
In the news in the German press, it is reported that Scholz met with Christian Olearis, a partner of Warburg Bank, many times and made recommendations.
According to the news, after Scholz’s meeting with Olearius, the Hamburg finances allowed Warburg Bank to run out of time by delaying the payment of the 47m euros tax refund. However, it is stated that Warburg Bank paid 43 million euros a year later, upon pressure from the Federal Ministry of Finance.
According to calculations of German tax experts, with “Cum-Ex”, the state treasury suffered a loss of billions of euros in the period 2005-2011.

Untucked: The trials and tribulations of moving
There are many kinds of people out there in this world, but I’m quite certain we can all agree on one truth: Moving is a real pain in the ass.
No matter who you are or what you do, it’s hard to escape the need to move at least a few times in life. Usually the reason for a change of residence is exciting. Maybe it’s after high school graduation when we head to college. Then there’s that first apartment transition, when we feel like an actual adult for the first time. We often change locations for work or maybe we upgrade to a bigger place if/when we get married and start a family. Changing homes can be a really rewarding experience, but the process of getting from point A to point B is one I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.
As I write this, my calves are still burning from the last several days of loading and packing, then unloading and unpacking. My boyfriend and our pups are calling a new place home, which is wonderful, but the stress it took to get us all here most certainly stole some time off of our lives.
Moving frequently is a problem that many Aspenites — particularly young ones — face. I’m sure that most of us would love to stay in the same place for years on end, but oftentimes there are obstacles that make that impossible. Rent prices increase; homes get resold, torn down or remodeled; an affordable-housing unit gets altered; or maybe a pet gets adopted. Whatever the reason, the transient culture of Aspen often plays into the need to move frequently, whether that’s within the valley or beyond. That need to move can add more stress to our plates, particularly because we’re often at the mercy of Aspen’s ridiculously expensive market conditions.
The effect moving has on humans is a topic of interest for therapists and psychologists because there are so many emotions — both positive and negative — surrounding the process. In a New York Times article about the stresses of moving that came out a few years back, a Manhattan psychoanalyst said that we, as the movers, often focus on the external parts of the act. We worry about the little things like having enough bubble wrap and packing tape or freaking out about how many pairs of shoes our partner has. But the feelings of change and the potential altering of our own safety are the things that are really gnawing at us internally, whether we realize it or not. A way we remedy all of these woes is by being near things that are familiar. A couple of studies conducted in 2012 showed that people often frequent chain stores like Ikea or Target after a move because it brings them a sense of comfort to go to places they know. We also prefer to be around our own material possessions as opposed to new or borrowed ones.
The last time my boyfriend and I moved from an apartment to a house, everything seemed to go wrong. We booked the rental truck for the wrong day and he had to handle most of the hauling of boxes and furniture because I couldn’t get off of work. We swore that the next time we had to do a big move, we would hire a professional moving team (for the sake of our own personal health and that of our relationship), but when push came to shove and we started looking at moving rates, we decided to try it again on our own.
However, this time was a bit different because we enlisted the help of good friends and family. This is often a good tactic for emotional support because moving can bring up strong feelings of loneliness, according to many psychologists. Having people around that love and support us made such a huge project feel a bit more approachable. All in all, the process of moving took us nearly a full week. We’re now mostly settled in at our new place, and the stress from hauling things around for hours and days on end feels like a distant memory.
No matter who you are, what you do, or even how much money you have, moving is always a grueling and painful process, both physically and mentally. But, like most things in life, it can be made a bit easier with support from loved ones.
Still, if I never see another moving box again, that would be just fine by me.
Barbara Platts does not plan on moving again any time soon. Reach her at firstname.lastname@example.org or on Twitter @BarbaraPlatts.

I am currently looking to invest in commercial properties in San Diego and I will head over there soon to have a better understanding of the market.
However, do you guys know the areas that I currently targeted by investors? For example, I found a commercial property on Commercial St, that is currently zoned CN-1-4. The zip code is 92113. I also have found some data about this area but I wanted to have actual investors' opinion.
Thanks for helping,
Right now Commercial St is not the nicest looking area, lots of dumpy car shops, light industrial, etc. but this area was just rezoned to allow higher density and spur more development and the light rail runs down it, so it will change a lot in the coming years. The area just to the west (barrio logan) is already experiencing a great deal of development.
They call it Shell town for a reason.
Hi Colin and Ron,
Thanks for your help. I will take a look at Barrio Logan and see how things are going over there.

Andrew Zimbalist is probably the best known sports economist around. Recently he gave an interview to the Tampa Bay Times about the viability of the Rays in St. Pete vs. in Tampa and offered some solutions to the Rays’ current quandary. Those solutions were basically in line with what MLB most wishes for the Rays. Strikingly in line, actually, with what Rays owner Stuart Sternberg was saying as he made the rounds last week arguing about the problems the Rays face, including the argument that the Rays may be eventually contracted.
Which is fine. Everyone has an opinion, and Zimbalist is an authority on the subject. But here’s the kicker: Zimbalist is currently being paid as an MLB consultant and didn’t disclose that when he was interviewed.
Noah Pransky made this discovery and susses it all out over at his Shadow of the Stadium blog. It’s worth reading. And it’s worth remembering to be very mindful of your source, however respectable his credentials happen to be, when listening to anyone holding forth on matters relating to stadiums and economics.

It’s hard to get an abortion in Texas. In a couple of weeks, it’ll be even harder: just three days after a series of new abortion restrictions were rejected for their unconstitutionality, a federal court of appeals is reinstating these restrictions to take place throughout the state beginning in November.
At least 12 prominent clinics in the state will have to shut their doors. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott made an emergency appeal to the 5th court, under the impression that a law requiring doctors admit privileges is a constitutional use of the legislature’s authority.
In a statement last Thursday, he emphasized the court’s unanimous decision, calling it a “vindication of the careful deliberation by the Texas Legislature to craft a law to protect the health and safety of Texas women.”
It’s a view mirrored by our governor, who purported that the decision “affirms our right to protect both the unborn and the health of the women of Texas” and said, “We will continue doing everything we can to protect a culture of life in our state.”
These are ridiculous sentiments. On the surface, they’re barely feasible: under the guise of an alleged safety screening, they’re really just nods toward criminal, unconstitutional pandering. The bill will close at least a third of the abortion clinics in Texas right off the bat.
In a statement last week, Planned Parenthood disclosed that the passage would ultimately mean that “abortion would no longer be available in vast stretches of Texas.”
Luckily, the court’s decision is only temporary until January, when they’ll have the opportunity to participate in a complete hearing. In the same statement, Planned Parenthood’s president, Cecile Richards, vowed to contest the ruling until it was no longer contestable.
“This fight is far from over. This restriction clearly violates Texas women’s constitutional rights by drastically reducing access to safe and legal abortion statewide.”
That’s a large part of the problem: this notion that a woman’s abortion be inherently and uncompromisingly safe. It’s not. It probably won’t ever be. But what can, and should, be assured is the aspect of “choice” — the choice for a woman to proceed with a procedure if she deems it appropriate to do so.
Throughout the trial, independent abortion clinics took steps to acquire admitting privileges throughout the state. Only a handful were able to do so. Hospitals with religious associations are hesitant to allow abortion doctors operate on their premises. Some have requirements that doctors live a specific radius to the facility.
For a bill contingent on choice, it’s certainly shortened the process.
