Healthy Communities Data and Indicators Project (HCI)
The goal of HCI is to enhance public health by providing data, a standardized set of statistical measures, and tools that a broad array of sectors can use for planning healthy communities and evaluating the impact of plans, projects, policy, and environmental changes on community health. The initial phase of the project (2012-2014) was a 2-year collaboration of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) with funding by the Strategic Growth Council (SGC), to create and disseminate indicators linked to the Healthy Communities Framework. This framework was developed by the SGC Health in All Policies Task Force with extensive public discussion and input from community stakeholders and public health organizations (read the Task Force report to the SGC).

The first phase of the HCI (2012-2014) produced 21 indicators from the core list. We are starting a second phase and we are now vetting data sources and developing the methods to construct the remaining indicators, and to update the ones already produced. As we construct indicators, we would like to share the information we have gathered about each indicator – its significance to health, evidence that links the indicator to health outcomes, data sources, bibliographic references, the methods we used, and limitations that impact the interpretation of the indicator. We also will share examples of maps, charts, and tables from the data files we have created and posted below. We invite you to download the pdfs and Excel data files and use them to create maps, charts, and tables of your own community. Please give us your feedback so we can improve these data products. We will post data for additional indicators as they become available.

Findings follow Stephenson Harwood’s announcement last week that it will reduce salaries by 20% if staff choose to work from home full-time
The overwhelming majority of our readers say they would reject permanent home-working if it meant a reduction in salary.
Of the 3,100 respondents to our LinkedIn poll, a whopping 88% said they wouldn’t be prepared to accept the salary sacrifice, even if it meant no more costly London living and early morning commute.
The findings follow the news last week that staff at City law firm Stephenson Harwood will be allowed to work from home full time, but only if they agree to take a pay cut of 20%. For newly qualified associates at the firm, who have starting salaries of £90,000, this would equate to a cut of £18,000.
Due to come into effect this month, the new agile option made national headlines and generated a lively debate within our comments section.
“Good”, one reader wrote. “More firms, especially London-based firms should be doing the same”. Another, meanwhile, explained how they would be prepared to take up the offer, if the cut was closer to 10% and they had “no intention of making partner”.
Others were less welcoming of the policy. “Are they charging their clients 20% less for their time, or requiring them to do 20% less hours?” one LC reader questioned. “Pretty poor considering how much more work some of us end up with at home to add a pay cut on top,” another added.
But the question remains: will other big legal players follow?
Would you take a pay cut to WFH permanently? Let us know in the comments 👇

Rutabagas! I love that word. In the world of funny food names, I think it’s up there with kumquat and sassafras.
The rutabaga is a cross between a cabbage and a turnip. People often avoid this root vegetable because of its peculiarity and because, like cabbage, it becomes more flavored and odorous when cooked.
Rutabagas are available year round with a peak in the fall and winter. These roots range from tan to violet in color and are larger than turnips; choose smooth, heavy, and firm roots. Smaller rutabagas, 4″ in diameter, tend to have sweeter flavor. This root stores for about 2 weeks in the refrigerator or at room temperature for a week. Rutabagas are usually covered in wax, so it’s best to quarter the root, then peel the skin before cooking.
Sumac spice comes from the berries of a wild bush that grows wild in all Mediterranean areas, especially in Sicily and southern Italy, and parts of the Middle East, notably Iran. It is an essential ingredient in Arabic cooking, being preferred to lemon for sourness and astringency
As a side dish or a nice alternative to potatoes or grits, Rutabaga purée is an excellent choice. I simply peeled the rutabaga, cut it into medium-sized chunks and cooked them as I would mashed potatoes, whisking in butter and cream at the end. If it tickles your fancy, you could do as the Irish do and add turnips or potatoes to the purée…I think they call it “Pats and Nips.”
I fried some sage leaves and set them aside on paper towels, then slowly braised two eggs in butter for a few minutes. I served the eggs with the rutabaga purée and fried sage leaves, then sprinkled some sumac over it to give it that whisper of citrus.
The kitchen had that wonderful odor of a grandmother cooking cabbage. I think next time, I’ll use the rutabaga as a substitute for cabbage and see what happens. Perhaps I’ll add rutabaga to slow-braised pork!

The Kadett clearly featurt a muckle mair modren design than the Volkswagen Beetle which then dominatit the mercat for smaw family caurs in Germany an various surroondin kintras. The Kadett affered mair passenger space, massively mair luggage space an a muckle less encumbered view oot. Its watter cooled ingine enabled it tae provide a far mair effective heater. Even fuel consumption wis unner maist conditions superior tae that o the Volkswagen, an mony commentators muckle preferred the Opel's handlin an its licht an effective brakes tae those o the mercat leader.
The transfer gearbox in the AWD models — the same as used in the Vauxhall Cavalier AWD—was somewhat on the flimsy side, liable to suffer damage from conditions such as minor differences in tyre wear or tyre pressure between front and rear axles. Since front and rear tyres would naturally wear at different rates in normal driving, it was necessary to swap front with rear tyres every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
The Corsa C was manufactured and sold in South America. The production plant that produced this car model is located in Rosario, Argentina. The Latin American Corsa C featured the Opel inspired Chevrolet logo with a golden bowtie instead of a chromed one – the new logo was first introduced in the South American market with the new Chevrolet Vectra.
Launched in 1962, GM Europe's small car for the 1960s, the Opel Kadett, looked like a shrunk Chevy Nova, and hid a 1.0-liter water-cooled overhead-valve four-cylinder up its nose. While this motor had pre-War origins, it was a good one. It weighed just 211 lbs, revved beyond 6000 rpm, and made 54 horsepower in the high-compression 'S' version, as long as you used premium fuel.
Despite its age, the Opel/Vauxhall Corsa was ranked #10 in Europe's best-selling cars top last year. An all-new model is right around the corner and it should help the supermini put up a good fight against other subcompact hatchbacks like the next-gen Renault Clio and Peugeot 208. Today, Opel is releasing some technical details about its revamped five-door-only city car, emphasizing on the diet it’ll be going through for its sixth iteration.
Throughout the production run, several special edition models were launched. Customers who chose a Calibra Cliff Motorsport Edition in May 1996 were way ahead of the game. Its paintwork was the same as the Class 1 racing car in which Manuel Reuter would win the ITC championship for Opel at the end of the season. The street-legal Cliff racer had a 20 mm lower sports chassis and BBS light alloy wheels (7J x 16).
The extra-light, all-aluminium engines, together with optimization of the front and rear axles, also contribute to the low total weight. The particularly compact three-cylinder petrol engines weigh around 15kg less than the previous generation of similarly powerful four-cylinder units. Highly unusual in the small-car-sector is the new Corsa’s aluminium engine bonnet, which although longer, saves 2.4kg in comparison to the previous model’s bonnet made of steel. The Insignia flagship was previously the only model in the Opel range with an aluminium bonnet. The seats also have been put on a diet. The new optimized seat structure saves a total of 10kg – 5.5kg at the front, 4.5kg at the rear. New lighter insulating material was used for fine tuning. Altogether the measures result in a weight reduction that, in combination with optimum aerodynamics and the efficient powertrains, will lead to a considerable reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
On the British motoring show Top Gear, Richard Hammond drove a 1963 Kadett A through the middle of Botswana and across the Makgadikgadi Salt Pan. He loved the car so much that he named it Oliver and later had the car shipped to the United Kingdom and restored, and it remains in his possession. It appeared on Richard Hammond's Blast Lab with the personalised number plate 'OL1 V3R'. It also appeared in the Top Gear lorry challenge as one of the used obstacles.
The handling and ride are basically fine, but are all but invisible from the point of view of a keen driver. The Crossland is tidy through corners, with reasonable steering weight but no actual feedback, and the body tilts over only to a reasonable angle. The ride is a touch stiff in its damping, especially around town (which is disappointing, given that any Crossland will probably spend most of its life in town) but it does improve on the open road. Refinement is only average though with quite a bit of wind and road noise. There’s little point in having Opel’s phone-based OnStar concierge service fitted if you can’t hear what the operator is saying . . .
The GSi's engine mapping had been carried out by Opel tuning specialists Irmscher. A model with the 82 PS (60 kW) 1.4 L multi point fuel injected engine, which was otherwise mechanically identical to the GSi, also became available as the Nova SRi in the United Kingdom. In January 1988, a turbocharged version of the Isuzu diesel engine was introduced, with power increased to 67 PS (49 kW).

The following points emerged from an interview on France24 with a Spanish rail engineer:-
- The train did not have an automatic braking system going through this curve.
- An automatic system - the ERMS - is used on the long stretch from Ourense to Santiago but not for the last 3-4km.
- An automatic system monitors a train continuously and stops the train the second it exceeds the correct speed.
- A non-automatic system only monitors the speed as the train goes past sensors.
- The curve exists because it's close to a residential area. Such curves are not uncommon when high-speed trains come into cities. As it's unrealistic to avoid them, it's essential to protect passengers via an automatic braking system. This was not in place at this curve.
- Railway accidents rarely have just one cause. Usually there's a series of them.
I'm not clear why/how a train could have an automatic system for part of its journey and then only a non-automatic system once it enters urban areas. Perhaps someone could explain. I'm assuming that the infrastructure wasn't in place on the tracks.

This review is about two weeks late... better late than never. We came to alta mare andronis from the United Arab Emirates. The stay was beyond amazing and describing it as ethereal is an understatement. It was a mixture of a boutique hotel with SoHo vibes during the day, with a view over looking the most beautiful parts of santorini. It is located in a quite part of Oia but is in walking proximity to everything. The rooms were amazing, especially the jacuzzis outside each suite and the relaxing atmosphere of the suits. The facilities are beyond heavenly. The bar and pool had an amazing view overlooking the deep blue oceans of Santorini as well as the volcano island. The Bartender is extremely friendly and energetic as was the staff as a whole. Words truly cant describe this hotel, and if they could then theyd take years. It is truly worth every euro spent and we as a family and individuals will definetely visit it soon again. Another benefit was being able to go on complimentary visits to the hotels 3 sister properties all across santorini My personal favorite was the breathtaking view the hotels location offered as the Moon reflected its beams on the dark black sea and the white houses of santorini, which made the pools appear crystal blue. In all of Oia, ive never seen a view as spectacular as that. You could truly sit on your suites balcony or in the jaccuzi for hours watching the ethereal view. Thank you for the amazing staff for making our stay magnificent. Youre amazing, so is the hotel and it is definetely the top place to consider when visiting santorini. Best regards Humaid

My wife and I just returned from a truly remarkable stay at Alta Mare. The property itself is breathtaking but what sets it apart is the service. George and his staff went out of their way to ensure that my wife and I were taken care of from the moment we arrived to our transfer back to the airport. We can't wait to return!

In the worst kept secret in college hoops, Angel Rodriguez has decided to transfer to Miami to finish up his final two years of collegiate eligibility, according to multiple reports.
Rodriguez will also attempt to get a hardship waiver to play immediately for the Hurricanes, according to Jeff Goodman of CBSSports.com. Rodriguez is a native of Puerto Rico that spent his high school years in Miami. His family is in the area, and that played a large role in his decision to leave Kansas State.
If Rodriguez were to get eligible next season for the Hurricanes, it would be a massive boost for Jim Larranaga’s club, which is losing their top six scorers from last season now that Shane Larkin is headed off to the NBA. He averaged 11.4 points and 5.2 assists last season for the Wildcats and is one of the most underrated point guards in the country.
His addition probably isn’t going to guarantee that Miami would make the 2014 NCAA tournament, but it sure would go a long way towards keeping them competitive in what’s going to be a loaded conference next season.

Enhanced multiobjective optimization algorithms for computationally expensive problems
Multiple conflicting objectives for optimisation typically arise in engineering design problems. In such problems, there does not usually exist a single optimal solution, but a set of solutions called Pareto optimal solutions, which cannot be mathematically ordered. Considering multiple objectives provides a higher in-depth insight into the design problem and interdependencies involved. In practice, objective and constraint functions are often computationally expensive, which hinders the wide-spread use of multiobjective optimization. Several methods have been proposed in the literature for solving computationally expensive multiobjective optimisation problems, including heuristics based methods such as nature inspired algorithms with several enhancements. Applicability of such heuristics based methods to practical multiobjective optimisation problems involving computationally expensive functions was the main focus of this research.
In the project, several demands were identified to be addressed to promote the use of multiobjective optimization in industry:
- It became apparent at the beginning of the project that awareness of the advantages and potential of using multiobjective optimization was not very strong and more information and understanding was to be given to all associated project partners.
- A practitioner or a researcher when faced with a real-life computationally expensive multiobjective optimization problem has several challenges, such as choosing a suitable method even though extensive literature exists.
- When solving a multiobjective optimization problem, a decision maker is often looking for a solution which (s)he wishes to implement. However, decision support systems that can help her/him to find such a solution are rare in the literature for computationally expensive problems.
Thus, this subproject aimed at being a platform for empowerment of practitioners, who have a computationally expensive multiobjective optimisation problem to solve.
We addressed the above-mentioned demands and documented them as articles, reports etc. besides giving talks. We had four main types of outputs.
- Knowledge aggregation through literature surveys: Three survey articles were written to summarize the state of the art in the literature in solving computationally expensive multiobjective optimization problems:
- A survey on handling computationally expensive multiobjective optimization problems using surrogates in non-nature inspired methods.
- A survey on handling computationally expensive multiobjective optimization problems with evolutionary algorithms.
- A survey on handling computationally expensive multiobjective optimization problems with evolutionary algorithms and parallel computing.
- Novel methods to find preferred Pareto optimal solutions: To utilize and exploit the preference information from the decision maker, the following two methods were developed and corresponding articles written.
- An interactive simple indicator-based evolutionary algorithm (I-SIBEA) for multiobjective optimization problems. In this method, hypervolume is used as the quality indicator to be maximised.
- Synchronous R-NSGA-II: an extended preference-based evolutionary algorithm for multi-objective optimization. The main idea of this method is to use multiple functions, all using the same preference information of the decision maker in different ways and generate a subset of Pareto optimal solutions desirable to her/him.
- Novel decision support system:
- E-NAUTILUS: A decision support system for complex multiobjective op-timization problems based on the NAUTILUS method. In this method, the decision maker iteratively proceeds to the most preferred Pareto optimal solution. The method starts from the worst solution called nadir point, and takes one step closer to the Pareto optimal set at each iteration guided by the preferences of the decision maker. It effectively handles computationally expensive multiobjective optimisation problems.
- Spread understanding of the potential of multiobjective optimization among researchers and practitioners:
- Design of a permanent magnet synchronous generator using interactive multiobjective optimization. The multiobjective optimisation problem considered consisted of six objective functions, four inequality constraints and fourteen design variables. The interactive multiobjective optimization method was NIMBUS (developed earlier at the University of Jyväskylä).
Benefits and use cases
- Knowledge aggregation through literature surveys: The literature surveys written provide practitioners knowledge about the methods available so that one can choose a method based on recorded past experiences of other researchers and practitioners and relevant selection criteria.
- Novel methods to generate preferred Pareto optimal solutions: The methods developed deal with alternative ways of effectivele handling decision maker’s preference information and generating desirable Pareto optimal solutions.
- Novel decision support system: A decision support system that overcomes some cognitive biases and helps a decision maker to find her/his preferred Pareto optimal solution in an interactive fashion. The method offers a new way of solving computationally expensive problems. This method can also be used to find the most preferred solution among the population of solutions generated by nature inspired methods like evolutionary multiobjective optimization methods.
- Spread the idea of multiobjective optimization among researchers and practitioners: The permanent magnet synchronous generator design problem solved provided an opportunity for the decision maker to consider the design problem as a whole, understand all the relevant trade-offs and ultimately find her preferred solutions. At the end of the decision making process, the decision maker involved was extremely satisfied both with respect to the solution process and with the solution she selected finally as her most preferred solution.
Overall, the challenges involved in solving computationally expensive multiobjective optimization problems were tackled in different ways and the awareness of the potential was increased. The outcomes of the JYU subproject are given in the figure below.

Good hotel, particularly if you need parkingPosted Oct 13, 2013 on Hotels.com
Nice comfortable hotel within easy walking distance (15-20 mins) of Piazza del Campo. Lovely welcome and good service throughout our stay. A big plus is the free onsite parking. Also has a pool & terrace with a great view of the town skyline. Would stay again.

Quite and reasonablePosted Sep 27, 2013 on Hotels.com
We enjoyed staying outside of town. It was a great location for Tuscan views and a view of Siena. Breakfast was plenty and service accommodating. Rooms a little starchy meaning they need some colored paint and maybe new bedspreads to spruce it up but they were spacious for European hotel.

Super clean and friendlyPosted Aug 15, 2013 on Hotels.com
This hotel is very clean and the staff is friendly. It's a short walk to one of the gates to Siena, so it is convenient. The pool is clean and refreshing. The rooms are small, with just enough room for the beds, but they do have nice views of the surrounding countryside. The hotel has no dinner restaurant, but you can get snacks/light food during the day. The only thing that wasn't great was the temperature in the rooms - the AC just didn't keep up with the high heat outside, so the rooms were too warm. Good value for the money, with a continental breakfast included.

Remote Site Concrete Production and The Logistics
Remote Site Concrete Production
We have many stories of building remote site batching plant production.
We have built remote concrete batching plants within the polar circle, up mountains to build the 2014 winter Olympic games in Sochi.
On remote Islands to build commercial and residential buildings.
Remote wind farm foundations. These are normally built offshore and remote mountain locations. We can even build baching plant on ships for maritime projects.
Coastal sea defence projects can be remote. Fibo batching plant can be set up onsite to manufacture sea defence structures.
Advantages of Remote Site Concrete Batching
Traditional concrete supply is not practical for remote sites unless your supplier is will to build a concrete batching plant close to your site. This would be impractical and costly.
By purchasing a mobile batching plant, not only will you be able to manufacture your own onsite concrete, but the cost saving will buy the plant for you.
On completion of your remote project, you can use the plant on your other sites saving 25% of your concrete ready-mix purchases.
The other option is to sell the plant. Due to the quality of the plant, it retains a high value. We offer a re-selling service.
The Fibo mobile onsite batching plant has a dosing accuracy of +- 3% as a standard and +- 1% when required. The onboard computer ensures every batch has traceability.
This means you can produce the highest quality concrete to BS 8500 EN 206
The plant can store up to twenty mix designs. With standard quality assurance processes in place for standard concrete testing, you can be confident that your concrete meets the project specification.
Waste on site is one of the most significant issues we have today. Waste can represent 10% of a construction project cost.
With onsite batching, you have more control of concrete production and can supply concrete on demand that is fresh with a longer workability time frame.
Onsite concrete batching is cost-effective as you are only paying for what you use. You can buy the raw materials in bulk storing them onsite.
In the UK the cost difference between onsite concrete production and buying in ready-mix is about €25 m3.
For every 100 m3 of concrete, you save €2,500.
We have a full cost analysis for onsite production for all EU countries. Get in touch and we can send you a copy.
Best Buy Onsite Batching Plant

There are many reasons why Delhi is our national capital. Obviously there may be a hundred political ones, but the thousand cultural reasons are what we are interested in.
Delhi has continued to be the melting pot of a plethora of religions living harmoniously. And this has resulted in giving this city a heritage richer than many of the other Indian cities combined. Whenever a newbie visits the attractions in Delhi, there are as many travel tips and suggestions as the number of people he asks, and this ends up confusing the traveler more than making things easier.
Delhi is so huge and full of variety that the architecture changes almost every kilometre.
Hence we took it upon ourselves to actually put together a realistic weekend itinerary, which will help you experience most of Delhi’s veritable flavours in two days.

Explore Old Jaffa and Tel Aviv on a full-day tour with a private guide. With a customizable itinerary, the tour covers sights of landmarks such as the Clock Tower and St Peter's Church. See top Tel Aviv attractions like the palm-fringed beachfront, Neve Tsedek district and UNESCO-listed White City, and then visit Jaffa's Nalagaat Center. The complex celebrates the blind and deaf community with a pitch-dark restaurant, workshop and theater. Entrance fees are at your own expense.
After a pickup from your Tel Aviv hotel at your chosen start time, board your private vehicle and let your guide know the sights you want to see; your itinerary is customizable.
Perhaps begin in Old Jaffa, just outside Tel Aviv. Dating back some 4,000 years, the age-old port is from where Jonah reputedly set sail in a New Testament tale. See the fishing boats and explore the atmospheric lanes of faded houses and artisan's workshops. Then, see landmarks such as St Peter's Church and the Clock Tower.
Enjoy lunch (own expense) before you tour modern Tel Aviv. View the palm-dotted promenade, and head to Rothschild Boulevard to see Independence Hall, where the State of Israel was declared in 1948. Visit the city museum, explore Neve Tsedek district or stroll through the UNESCO-listed White City area with its Bauhaus architecture.
Later, visit Jaffa's Nalagaat Center, a theater-restaurant complex run by blind and deaf artistes. Attend a show followed by dinner (own expense) in the dark restaurant, or join a pottery or wine-tasting workshop (additional cost). Your then tour ends at your Tel Aviv hotel.
Please note: Nalagaat Center is only open on Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Visits are only guaranteed if you book three weeks in advance of your travel date. Make a note in the 'Special Requirements' field when you book.

FIFA 20 How to Flip Special Cards Guide
Hi guys I’ve got another guide here, this is one was in high demand. A lot of you wanted to know more about special card flipping so I’ve made a detailed guide a bit like my icon flipping one, hope it helps.
If you want to know more about trading and are looking for tips/advice I’ve got a relatively new Twitter: @FUTDonkey where you can check out what I’m doing as a T100 trader and also ask me whatever you like. Anyway onto the guide
What is flipping?
Cards fluctuate during the week all the time this is due to a host of reasons which can be as simple as the amount of players that are online at a particular time. The multitude of reasons all fall under the 2 wider categories that control card prices: supply + demand. A good example of this is when cards are low on Saturday/Sunday because of the WL sell off and how they are generally quite high on Thursday due to rewards and people buying cards for their WL teams. Daily trends are profitable the way you become an elite trader is hourly trends. Cards fluctuate during the day particularly ones that are out of packs as they are rarer and have less supply. So why is it profitable to flip special cards? It’s because they are out of packs and we will be flipping the more meta ones so they will have demand as well this mean they fluctuate, our task is to pick them up during a low hour and sell them on the higher hourly trend.
How to identify sell prices?
To do this we look at FUTBIN graphs. For specials FUTBIN graphs are quite accurate unlike ICONs because the specials aren’t as rare as ICONs. So let’s use an example of a player. I’m going to use SCREAM Aspas for the example but this works for everyone. So Aspas had high peaks on Sunday and Saturday of 84k. He hit that a few times so I’m confident this is his selling price. Now the tax here is 4.2k so if we sell at 84k we make 79.8k back. Now we can set our buy prices. This will depend on what you consider good profit. If you’re on a lower budget you should set higher margins as your coins are more valuable but if you’re richer than you can use lower margins. Personally if I can sell Aspas at 84k I’m happy to buy at 76-77k and lower. One thing to note when identifying sell prices is to make sure you look for a CONSISTENT peak price there can be high prices which are outliers but you want what it is consistently hitting.
Memorising sell prices
This is one of the hardest parts of special flipping especially because prices change so often. I just learn the prices through experience and watching the market an unhealthy amount. I know some people make spread sheets with prices in, others just write them down on some paper. Do whatever you find helps best so that you can learn your sell and buy prices because there are so many cards and knowing the prices makes it way easier to get deals
How to find deals?
Ok now you do this for a bunch of specials and u know the prices of let’s say 20-30 specials. How do you get deals? One way you can do it is just rotating through the list of players a couple of times an hour or more and just looking to see if there’s a good BIN or bid that you can grab. You can also just watch FUTBIN to see when a particular special looks low. There’s not really much you can do with the 59th minute like ICONs as there are way too many specials but the way I prefer is just cycling through a load of them every now and then and checking for deals. You can also set up bid filters and look for good bid prices on lots of different specials and even mix that up with some chem style trading using the filters but as I said my favourite is just to cycle through the players
How to get sales?
Now once you get a deal you need to list it. So the best way to list imo is just for 1 hour at your target sell price. Often you can get a lazy sale before it even hits the high fluctuation you are looking for, that’s why I like this. Otherwise, if you aren’t going to be at your console or on the app to relist you can go for a 6 or 12 hour listing but don’t list too low as this will crash the price of the card and lose you and others who try flip it coins. Always list higher on longer listings and check what others have listed for on overnights as if there’s too many people undercutting you then it’s unlikely you will get the sale.
Impact of Chem styles and position changed card
The impact of position changes and chem styles is far bigger with specials than it is with ICONs. I’ve sold cards for 10-15k more because they had a shadow on them or were a CM as opposed to their original ST position. When you get a card with a desirable chem style or position change list it higher than you normally would sometimes it won’t sell and you end up having to settle for the usual prices but often times you can squeeze out an extra 5-10k. I wouldn’t recommend going over your targeted buy price because a card has a shadow but it’s worth taking it into account if you happen to get one with a good chem style/position change at your buy price.
Identifying why a card is low
Now this is very very important. When you see a special card that is very low more than likely it’s too good to be true. Always think before you buy as unlike ICONs there can be numerous factors why a special card is down. A few examples include: its set to get a better version, there’s a player in the same league and position in the latest promo team/TOTW. Another player that is better than him in same league and position has been panic sold so it’s driving the price of said player down and so on. So always think if a cards down a lot more than usual why is this card down? Now sometimes it’s just a random wave of panic and you can pick it up and go about your business but if the panic is warranted be careful.
General market trends
General market trends are important to be aware of when flipping special cards. Some simple trends to be aware of are that they are usually always higher on Thursday and Friday nights and begin to drop a little bit on Saturdays and Sundays. This is important to remember as you don’t want to be using Thursday and Friday sell prices on a Saturday or a Sunday so in these times you must be adjusting your prices as you go along and making sure you’re not buying into a card that’s dropping. Also same applies for when there’s promo panic don’t buy a card on a Thursday night when there’s a promo the next day because chances are that cards gonna drop until the content release at 6pm GMT. So these are just a few extra things to keep in mind
The best way to start in my opinion is to pick a group of specials like TOTGS or Screams and beginning learning their prices once you learn their prices start looking for deals and as you start learning more and more and feel comfortable with these prices you can expand your group of specials and start adding in more and more cards till your comfortable flipping even up to 100 cards. This method works best with budgets of 500k+ but you can even do it with a lower budget than that too and it’s very effective.
Hope this helped you guys this is my second favourite flipping method after ICONs and when ICONs don’t do well for whatever reason I always revert to this method and can make 3mil a week from it fairly easily so it definitely works but it takes time to learn prices and understand them. Once you do, special flipping is very simple. If you have an questions feel free to ask and I will try my best to answer.

So hot... i wish he would get back to live singing
thats a nice suprise.........dont know who he is tho...!
Here is the Darius kilt pic ..which should pass the censors..
Darius is a likeable Scottish/Iranian singer, who recently won a UK TV competition "Pop Star to Opera Star". Not sure what the OP is referring to regarding Darius' "singing live". He was certainly "live" in the recent competition heats and in very good voice too.


Holly Holm may have won more rounds at UFC 196, but Miesha Tate was certainly more impactful.
Tate was down on the scorecards heading into the fifth round of their co-main event title bout but believes scoring a dominant round two set the table to submit the champion and steal the fight.
“I think she just crumbled under the pressure when I took her down in that second round,” Tate told Fight Network’s John Pollock. “My coaches and Bryan [Caraway] actually told me, ‘She’s either going to stay down and be so scared about being submitted that you’re going to ground and pound her and beat her up or she’s going to try desperately to get up. Because your top pressure is so heavy she’s going to be forced to leave something out there and you’re going to grab it and you’re going to submit this girl.’
“We saw both cases. In the second round she stayed down there and took some heavy ground and pound. In the fifth round she definitely didn’t want to get stuck down there again so she tried to zealously get up and I saw the opening and I took it. We planned for that and we assumed that was going to happen.”
Holm and her team have been criticized by UFC president Dana White over the decision to fight Tate rather than wait for a rematch with Ronda Rousey, but Tate admires her for it.
“I think Holly took the advice of her coaches who she trusts with everything,” said Tate. “They said, ‘Holly, you’ve always been an active fighter. Let’s not change who you are now that you’re the champion because that’s when you’re going to lose sight of who you are.’ I think the idea was to keep her grounded just the same as if she wasn’t ….View full article

Cristiano Ronaldo has added another milestone achievement to his career by becoming the first player to score 50 or more goals in three different soccer leagues, the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner scored two goals for Juventus against Lazio on July 20, with a penalty in the 51st minute and the other goal in the 54th minute. He now has 51 league goals since joining Juventus two years ago.
Ronaldo Sets Serie A Record
Ronaldo has set a new record in the Italian Soccer league by scoring 50 goals in the fewest appearances. It only took him 61 games to score 50 goals, faster than Andriy Shevchenko, who got the mark in 68 games with AC Milan, and Brazil’s icon Ronaldo, who got there in 70 appearances with Inter Milan.
Juventus now stands on top of the table with eight points higher than Inter Milan, nine ahead of Atalanta, and 11 in front of Lazio. Juventus is seeking its ninth straight league title. Ronaldo and Immobile are level atop Serie A scoring chart with 30 goals each.
Goals Scored In Premier League, La Liga
Ronaldo joined Juventus in 2018 after he left his former team, Real Madrid, where he won every major domestic honor and four Champions League titles. Before that, he spent six years in Manchester United, where he forged his popularity and reputation as one of the world’s greatest soccer players with a Ballon d’Or award as well as a Champions League trophy in 2008.
He put up an exclusive number of goals for the two teams, with 118 goals in 292 appearances for Manchester United and 450 goals in 438 games for Real Madrid. At the international level, he has 99 goals for Portugal, behind only Ali Daei, a former Iranian footballer with 109 international goals.
Ronaldo’s Greatest Achievements
Five Champions League Titles
The first time Ronaldo won the Champions League was in 2008 with the Red Devils. He played against Chelsea at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. Ronaldo opened the scoring for the team in the 26th minute with a header.
After Frank Lampard equalized shortly after, the game went penalties, and Man United won 6-5 on penalties. He then won four with Real Madrid, one in 2014, and three consecutive titles from 2016 to 2018. Ronaldo is now the all-time top scorer of Champions League with 128 goals, 14 goals ahead of Lionel Messi.
Awards and International Success
Ronaldo won the Ballon d’Or award five times, one shy from Lionel Messi. In four of the years that he won the prestigious individual award, he also won the Champions League title, and three of them came along with UEFA Men’s Player of the Year Award.
One of the biggest mega-events in Europe, the UEFA European Championship, is postponed to next year due to the coronavirus. The last time it happened in 2016, Ronaldo led Portugal to the Championship, their very first European Cup title. People have praised that the Euro 2016 triumph is his greatest achievement and that this has claimed him as the best player in the world.

Welsh people could become a minority in Wales in around 70 years if the number of people from England and other parts of Britain settling there continues at the current rate, a new analysis of official figures suggests.
People from elsewhere in the UK already account for almost 22 per cent of the population of Wales, with the vast majority of the new arrivals coming from England, figures published by the Office for National Statistics show.
It is more than eight times the equivalent figure for England, where only 2.7 per cent of the population is made up from people born in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
Meanwhile only round one in 10 people currently living in Scotland and one in 20 in Northern Ireland originally came from other parts of the UK.
And the total number of people from elsewhere in Britain living in Wales has increased by 17 per cent in the last 20 years. Of the new arrivals, 95 per cent are from England.
When overseas migrants are also included, the Welsh-born population of Wales slipped from 75 per cent to 72 per cent in the last decade.
It suggests that were the decline to continue at the same rate, Welsh-born residents could account for less than half the population by the mid-2080s.
The dramatically higher proportion of people from elsewhere in the UK settling in Wales is also reflected in findings on national identity from the 2011 census.
Despite a passionate Welsh national feeling, reflected in everything from sport to politics and language, Wales could be described as the most “British” part of the UK.
When people were asked in the census how they would describe their national identity, 83 per cent of those living in Scotland said they were "Scottish" – or a combination of "Scottish" and "British" or some other nationality – and 70 per cent of those south of the border said they were "English".
By contrast only 66 per cent of those living in Wales described themselves as "Welsh" in some form.
It suggests that national feeling in Scotland on the eve of the independence referendum is 25 per cent higher than national feeling in Wales.
Wales, by contrast, emerges as less nationalistic overall than England.
Significantly the number of Welsh people living in England is almost as high as the number of English people in Wales – 507,000 compared with 636,000 – but account for a much smaller overall proportion of the population of England.
Jonathan Edwards, the Plaid Cymru MP for Carmarthen East, said the beauty of the Welsh landscape was undoubtedly a lure and inward migration was something Wales should welcome - if it meant that the new arrivals included younger people as well as those retiring.
“Wales has a twin challenge, our young people tend to move away to other economic opportunities but then of course older people tend to move to Wales to retire,” he said.
“It is obviously a very beautiful part of the British Isles and one which is not that far away from the major conurbations of the Midlands and South of England.
“It is the quality of life, I think, that Wales provides, which is the attraction but the challenge for policymakers is how to you turn those natural advantages that we have in Wales, the landscape, the beauty of the environment, into economic advantages.”
The figures, published as part of an ONS project to collate comparative statistics for the four countries of the UK ahead of the Scottish referendum, also show marked social and economic differences between different parts of Britain.
They include population projections showing that England, already by far the most densely populated part of the UK, will experience growth at almost twice the rate of the rest of the country in the next 25 years.
The figures also show a dramatic economic imbalance between London and the South East of England and the rest of the UK, with productivity in the capital far outstripping the rest of the country.
Yet proportionally smaller amounts of taxpayers’ money are spent in England than elsewhere. Scots receive £1,623 per head more in public spending than their English counterparts. Meanwhile Northern Ireland has the highest public spending per head at the equivalent of £10,876 a year for each person.

“Surviving R. Kelly” revisits Kelly’s early-90s relationship with late singer Aaliyah, who met him when she was 12. He produced her album, “Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number.” In the title song, she sings about trying to get an older guy to have sex with her. “It’s a perfect song for hiding in plain sight,” says cultural critic Touré. Believing she was pregnant, Kelly married her. He was 28, she was 15. The union made news, and was annulled, but Kelly’s career was hardly impacted.

Birmingham Lunar New Year celebrations 2024: Year of the Dragon – Here’s what to expect
Lunar New Year celebrations will take place in Birmingham next month on Sunday 11 February, but what can you expect?
Supported by Southside District and The Arcadian, the festivities and celebrations will take place in and around Birmingham Hippodrome, throughout the Southside District, and will include performances, family activities, craft market stalls and a spectacular firework finale, welcoming in the Year of the Dragon.
Lunar New Year celebrations in Birmingham
A main stage inside The Arcadian grounds will once again be the focus of attractions for many as it’s graced with dancers, performers, artists and no doubt surrounded by everyone’s favourite dragon dancers!
This year is the Year of the Dragon, ensuring the representation of the mythical fire-breather during festivities will be more than ample. Alongside performances, family craft activities will be available for children of all ages to enjoy.
Additionally, food stalls will have an array of delicious south-east and east Asian delicacies on sale for all, not to mention the many restaurants and cafes which will be taking part through the Southside district.
Markets stalls, costumed entertainers and attractions courtesy of organisers will also be on show in and around The Arcadian and the Birmingham Hippodrome.
James Wong, Chair of the Birmingham Chinese Festival Committee said: “It was wonderful to be back in Southside last year shining a light on the fantastic talent in our region and recognising all communities celebrating Lunar New Year and we are delighted to be back this year.
“We will share our full programme for the celebrations soon but visitors can expect all the favourites from the traditional waking of the Lion ‘Dim Jing’ to Dragon dances representing power, strength and good luck. I’m sure audience favourite Pom Pom – our giant ten-foot Panda – will also make a return for all those selfie moments throughout the Festival.”
Lunar New Year 2024 – Year of the Dragon
The Year of the Dragon is as fiery and dramatic as it sounds, since the Dragon is considered the luckiest zodiac sign in Chinese culture.
The Lunar New Year and the Year of the Dragon starts on 10 February, 2024 and ends on 28 January, 2025.
The Dragon, also known as Loong, is the fifth of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese/Lunar calendar.
According to the Chinese zodiac, the Year of the Dragon comes once every 12 years. The dragon years of the last century were 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, and now: 2024. People born in any of these years are dragons.
In the Buddhist calendar used in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka, the Dragon is replaced by the nāga. In the Gurung zodiac, the Dragon is replaced by the eagle.
Chris Sudworth, Creative Director at Birmingham Hippodrome added: “The 2023 Lunar New Year celebrations were our biggest yet and it was wonderful to be back home in Southside.
“2024 will see the festival develop again, as our long-time partners Birmingham Chinese Festival Committee are joined by Birmingham Chinatown Business Association, working with us to curate a programme that celebrates the communities of Chinatown and Southside alongside professional performers.
“We’re delighted we can throw open our doors for family activities in the Hippodrome foyers and performances in the Patrick Studio; and the excitement continues with a funfair in Inge Street and Hurst Street and the firework finale over The Arcadian. Make sure you have the date in your diary – 11 February 2024 – and join us in welcoming in the Year of the Dragon.”
Kin Bong Lam, Chair of the Birmingham Chinatown Business Association added: “We are delighted to be working alongside Birmingham Hippodrome and Chinese Festival Committee Birmingham to continue to build Chinatown’s reputation as the place to be for the Lunar New Year Celebrations.
“We are keen to support and encourage the prosperity of the area, and of the Festival, not just for 2024 but for future Lunar New Year celebrations and future generations.”
Lunar New Year 2024 is produced by Birmingham Hippodrome in partnership with Birmingham Chinese Festival Committee and Birmingham Chinatown Business Association. This year’s Festival is supported by Southside District and The Arcadian.

A visual and emotional splendid evocation of the lives of two English poets
At last, a film that depicts the lives and creative angst of poets that rings true, not just in its literal evocation but in the poetic handling of their inner worlds concurrent with their outer ones...their relationships, their involvement in the politics of their time. Above all, the passion that can possess a creative mind to the point of near self-destruction. Coleridge, the main protagonist in this film, is depicted (and well portrayed by Linus Roache) in all his struggles to reach the deepest source in himself, leading sadly to his addiction to laudanum. We're given graphic images of his creative process, the imagination (of both the poet and film-maker, much credit to Julien Temple) made visual (with some interesting references to our contemporary world). We see Wordsworth pretty much through the eyes of Coleridge and his relationship with him and his sister. Dorothy (beautifully played by Emily Woof). A Wordsworth fan might easily be critical of such a view, but this after all is Coleridge's day in the sun (or shade). Even if you're not a poetry enthusiast (which, alas, counts too many, especially in American culture) this film can bring you entertainment and much more...the suggestion that within us all lies a source of beauty that can allow us to appreciate it in its verbal form. See it! It's in my view one of the finest films in many a moon.

Very few producers have built their reputation as quickly as Inverse Cinematics, the duo of Danilo Plessow and Joachim Tobias. In addition to solo releases on Pulver, Plessow has recorded tracks as Hipster Wonkaz and Aphro Pzyko for Pablo Valentino's Faces label and Mad Mats's Raw Fusion imprint. Motor City Drum Ensemble concentrates on Plessow's electronic side. Before he started to go more leftfield/broken-beat-ish with his Inverse Cinematics project, he was heavily influenced by the likes of Larry Heard, Chez Damier, UR, Moodymann, and Mike Huckaby, and labels like Soul City, KMS, Prescription, Harmonie Park.

Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn are now the most unpopular leadership combo in modern British politics according to polling.
Their combined approval rating is now at a disastrous -96 according to the latest figures from Ipsos MORI from earlier this month. A Telegraph analysis has shown that this is the lowest combined score ever recorded by the pollster, well clear of the -89 posted by Margaret Thatcher and Michael Foot in December of 1981.
Now, as it was then, the country is bitterly divided amidst a backdrop of great upheaval, while British politics was simultaneously undergoing a radical shift.
