Socialize with me

Yep…totally forgot to tell my friend this for OVER two years!

Recently I was having lunch with an old friend of mine Noel and her kids. We’ve been friends for ten plus years but now that I live out in the “country,” it’s been a little more difficult to get together so I really cherish my time with her. I always say I have the best friends ever. Really. I could write about each of them every single day because they are all so wonderful, kind-hearted and thoughtful. Even the ones I’ve lost touch with or the friends who are no longer, I am grateful for every friend I’ve had because they have all brought something to my life!

While at lunch with Noel and her boys, we got to talking about our family, our marriages and life. You know…typical stuff you talk about when you are catching up with your girlfriend. She has such a good head on her shoulders. She is a good listener. Gives good advice. Tells a good story. Has a kind and generous heart and is just an all around good and Godly person. During lunch, she mentioned to me that she and her husband had this funny conversation in which she told her husband that if anything ever happened to him, she would probably never marry again. I found this funny because I’ve said the same thing to my husband. Are we the only ones who have had conversations like this before? lol We laughed so hard and both agreed that we would be happy raising our children and just being alone and never marrying again. Of course many years after we continued to mourn the loss of our husbands. 😉 In all seriousness though, this is a reality for many women and the thought of it ever happening to me makes me want to throw up in my mouth a little, because I am deliriously in love with my husband. We were just having a silly conversation at lunch.

Annnnyway, right in the middle of this silly conversation, I blurted out…”Oh em gee, I totally forgot to tell you/ask you something…will you be my back-up family?” Then I said, let me explain…

A few years ago, my husband and I did the awkward and difficult task of planning for the “what if’s” with a lawyer. Given my Breast Cancer history and just being total planners…we thought it would be good to make legal plans so that our kids would be taken care of should something happen to us. Lemme tell you…THAT is not a fun conversation to have. I cried the whole time well, because I’m emotional and a spaz, lol, but I knew it was a good thing for us to do. During this planning process we had to name the friends who we would want to take over raising our children if something should happen to me and my husband and of course, Lily’s biological father who lives in California. It was a hard decision to make even though I realize the chances of us both being gone at the same time are hopefully very slim and none, but none the less, we wanted to take it seriously. We love EVERYONE in our family of friends and would drop our kids on their doorsteps in 2.2 seconds so it was tough to just pick ONE person. One family. So we picked two. We picked one of Eric’s oldest and bestest friends Chris, who was his Best man and we also picked my friend Noel. She and I were pregnant at the same time over ten years ago, were neighbors for many years and we have had many loooong conversations about raising children.

But here’s the thing…I toooootally forgot to call and ask her if this was ok. Like, just plain ol’ forgot. For yeeeears. Then while we were having lunch the other day, talking about hypothetical stuff and all of a sudden I remembered. Of course she said yes and was totally flattered. She even sent me a thank you note a few days later.

A few days after that lunch my family and I were having dinner with some of our other friends Taylor and Glenn and I told them this funny Noel story and then we laughed at this thought…what if I had NEVER remembered and all of a sudden Noel got a knock at her door and there were Lily and Luna standing on her porch with suitcases?? Why this was so insanely funny to us I don’t know but it was.

Suffice it to say…Noel now knows of her duty as does Chris…both have accepted their responsibilities with bells on and I love them for it but here’s to hopefully never needing them anytime soon! 😉

Lesson: Socializing and Building Strong Relationships

Introduction:

Socializing is an essential part of human life. It helps us to connect with others, form relationships, and create a sense of belonging. In today's fast-paced world, it can be challenging to find time to socialize, but it is crucial for our mental and emotional well-being. In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of socializing, how to build strong relationships, and ways to maintain these relationships over time.

Section 1: Importance of Socializing

Topic 1: Mental Health

Socializing is essential for our mental health. It helps us to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. When we socialize, we release endorphins, which are natural mood boosters. Additionally, socializing helps us to feel connected to others, which is vital for our emotional well-being.

Topic 2: Physical Health

Socializing also has physical health benefits. Studies have shown that people who socialize regularly have lower blood pressure, reduced risk of heart disease, and better immune systems. Socializing can also help us to reduce feelings of loneliness, which has been linked to a higher risk of death.

Section 2: Building Strong Relationships

Topic 1: Communication

Communication is the foundation of any strong relationship. To build strong relationships, we need to communicate effectively. This means listening actively, expressing ourselves clearly, and being empathetic towards others.

Topic 2: Trust

Trust is another essential element of strong relationships. To build trust, we need to be honest, reliable, and consistent. We also need to respect our friends' boundaries and privacy.

Topic 3: Respect

Respect is another crucial aspect of building strong relationships. We need to respect our friends' opinions, beliefs, and values. We also need to treat them with kindness and dignity.

Section 3: Maintaining Relationships

Topic 1: Time and Effort

Maintaining relationships requires time and effort. We need to make time for our friends, even if it means prioritizing them over other activities. We also need to put in effort to keep the relationship strong, such as staying in touch, sending messages, and making plans.

Topic 2: Compromise

In any relationship, compromise is essential. We need to be willing to compromise to maintain harmony in the relationship. This means being willing to give and take, and sometimes putting our friends' needs before our own.

Topic 3: Forgiveness

Finally, forgiveness is crucial for maintaining strong relationships. We will inevitably hurt or disappoint our friends at some point. To maintain the relationship, we need to be willing to forgive and forget.

Conclusion:

Socializing and building strong relationships are essential for our mental and emotional well-being. By understanding the importance of socializing, communicating effectively, building trust, respecting others, making time and effort, compromising, and forgiving, we can maintain strong relationships that will enrich our lives.

Lesson: Pre-Season Stand Placement Tips

Introduction:
Hunting is an exciting outdoor activity that requires patience, skill, and knowledge. One of the essential aspects of hunting is choosing the right location and setting up a treestand. In this lesson, we will learn about pre-season stand placement tips that can help you get ready for the hunting season.

Section 1: Choosing the Right Location
- The first step in setting up a treestand is finding the right location. Look for areas with a lot of activity, such as food sources, water sources, or bedding areas.
- Consider the wind direction and choose a location that will give you an advantage over the game.
- Avoid areas with a lot of human activity or noise.

Section 2: Types of Treestands
- There are different types of treestands, including climbing stands, tripod stands, and lock-on stands.
- Climbing stands are portable and easy to set up, but they require some level of physical fitness to use.
- Tripod stands are more stable and can hold more weight, but they are not as easy to move around.
- Lock-on stands are permanent stands that can be left in place throughout the hunting season.

Section 3: Safety Tips
- Always wear a safety harness when using a treestand.
- Choose a treestand that is the right size for your body weight.
- Make sure the treestand is stable and secure before climbing.
- Never climb with a full stomach or while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Glossary:
- Treestand: a raised platform used by hunters to observe wildlife from above
- Food sources: areas where animals gather to find food
- Bedding areas: areas where animals sleep
- Wind direction: the direction from which the wind is blowing

Conclusion:
Pre-season stand placement is an essential part of hunting. By choosing the right location, selecting the appropriate type of treestand, and following safety tips, you can increase your chances of success during the hunting season. Remember to always prioritize safety and use critical thinking to make informed decisions.

Q:

Chrome (windows) does not hide scrollbar

I have this scrollable div, which (on my Mac in Chrome) hides the scrollbar when I don't scroll. On windows 8 however, it doesn't work in Chrome and Firefox.
Ie doesn't support this too, but I've enabled it using the following CSS:
-ms-overflow-style: -ms-autohiding-scrollbar;

Is there any way to enable this behaviour for Chrome and Firefox
Here is a jsfiddle

A:

maybe you can use something like that?
body {
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
    overflow-y: hidden;

}
body:hover {
    overflow-y: scroll;
}

http://jsfiddle.net/4RSbp/165/

A:

Scrollbar is hiding on your Mac because this is a system preference (System Preferences > General > Show scroll bars). And unfortunatelly there is no version of -ms-overflow-style for Firefox or Chrome.

A:

For anyone comming here, if you want to hide scrollbars in a cross-browser cross-system way and keeping the scrollability enabled without visual glitching of mouse over rendering; hiding them behind the limits of your container is a good approach. (Beware, this will be long)
Let's say you have a scrollable container and you want to hide the vertical scrollbar (even the thin transparent one that moderns systems shows). its ID is #scrollable:

[...]

Some Y large content

[...]

To achieve what we want, #scrollable must be contained by a node exclusively for it (a div would work, in this example #scrollable-cover) and we must know #scrollable layout width and height. Lets say it'll be an area of 800px x 900px. So we got:

[...]

Some Y large content

[...]

And its CSS:
#scrollable-cover {
 width: 800px;
 height: 900px;
 overflow: hidden
}
#scrollable {
 width: 820px;
 height: 100%;
 overflow: scroll;
}

With that, #scrollable will be stretched to the height of its inmediate parent (#scrollable-cover) and its large content will render it like an scrollable box, but, since its width is 20px bigger than its parent, which has an 'overflow: hidden' property, the scrollbar will not be shown, because it renders on the 20px hidden at the right of #scrollable.
This lead us to an inconvenient, the content of #scrollable could also be rendering in that hidden 20px width area; to avoid that, there is two methods. One is to wrapper all the content of #scrollable in a #scrollable-wrapper with 800px width and auto height:

[...]

[...]

Some Y large content

[...]

This way all content will be rendered in a 800px width layout inside our scrollable box. But, if you dont want to add another element, you can solve this with the Second CSS only option, using box-sizing an a 20px padding at the right:
#scrollable-cover {
 width: 800px;
 height: 900px;
 overflow: hidden
}
#scrollable {
 width: 820px;
 height: 100%;
 overflow: scroll;
 padding-right: 20px
 box-sizing: border-box;
}

This way, anything rendered inside #scrollable will avoid the 20px hidden area at the right, and 'box-sizing: border-box' will tell the browser to include the 20px of the padding in the total 820px width of #scrollable (otherwise, it'll grow to a computed total of 840px). Check box-sizing compatibility here: http://caniuse.com/#search=box-sizing
And of course, this example could also work with horizontal scrolling, just increasing the height of #scrollable 20px above the height of it's inmediate parent. That's the clue ;)

Q:

Slurping soup in New Jersey

I read once in a book of weird facts heard that slurping soup is technically illegal in New Jersey, and, looking it up, have found a ton of lists of "wacky laws" saying that this is true. Nothing I have found so far actually mentions the specific statute, though.
There are so many things unequivocally saying that this is true that I would like something clearly saying whether it is or (more likely) isn't true.
Is it true or was it ever true that slurping soup in New Jersey is illegal? If not, is it known how this claim originated?

A:

This nj.com article implies that it is a legal myth

In 228 years, New Jersey's racked up 100 printed volumes of law. Unfortunately,
  "the bizarre laws are not all in one volume," said Laura Tharney, executive
  director of the New Jersey Law Revision Commission, so old ones that seem strange
  today linger. Even more enduring? Our legal myths. "You can slurp soup and you
  can frown at a police officer," said Tharney.

And searching the New Jersey constitution and historical laws reveals no references to soup slurping.

Mucinous carcinoma of rectosigmoid in a 15-year-old child: a case report.
A 15-year-old girl with Duke's B mucinous carcinoma of the rectosigmoid was treated with surgical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy. The patient is alive and has been disease-free for 15 months. Colorectal carcinoma is extremely rare in children and adolescents. Adenocarcinoma of colon is a virulent disease in children and has a poor prognosis. This is because of the poor histological characteristics and difficulty in diagnosis.

textbook:
Core Value: Rare diseases in children and adolescents

Lesson: Mucinous Carcinoma of Rectosigmoid in Children

**Introduction**

Mucinous carcinoma of the rectosigmoid is a rare type of cancer that affects the large intestine. It is more common in adults than in children and adolescents. In this lesson, we will learn about mucinous carcinoma of the rectosigmoid in children, its symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.

**Section 1: What is mucinous carcinoma of the rectosigmoid?**

Mucinous carcinoma of the rectosigmoid is a type of cancer that starts in the mucus-producing cells of the rectosigmoid, which is the part of the large intestine that connects the rectum to the sigmoid colon. This type of cancer is also known as colorectal adenocarcinoma.

**Section 2: Symptoms of mucinous carcinoma of the rectosigmoid in children**

The symptoms of mucinous carcinoma of the rectosigmoid in children are similar to those in adults. These may include:

- Abdominal pain
- Change in bowel habits
- Rectal bleeding or blood in the stool
- A mass or lump in the abdomen
- Unexplained weight loss

However, children may also experience additional symptoms such as:

- Fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Feeling full quickly when eating
- Nausea and vomiting
- Joint and muscle pain

**Section 3: Diagnosis of mucinous carcinoma of the rectosigmoid in children**

The diagnosis of mucinous carcinoma of the rectosigmoid in children involves several tests and procedures, including:

- Physical examination
- Blood tests
- Stool tests
- Imaging tests such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs
- Colonoscopy
- Biopsy

**Section 4: Treatment of mucinous carcinoma of the rectosigmoid in children**

The treatment of mucinous carcinoma of the rectosigmoid in children depends on the stage of the cancer and the overall health of the child. Treatment options may include:

- Surgery to remove the tumor and surrounding tissue
- Chemotherapy to kill cancer cells and prevent their spread
- Radiation therapy to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors
- Targeted therapy to attack specific cancer cells without harming healthy cells
- Immunotherapy to boost the immune system's ability to fight cancer cells

**Section 5: Prognosis of mucinous carcinoma of the rectosigmoid in children**

The prognosis of mucinous carcinoma of the rectosigmoid in children depends on several factors, including the stage of the cancer, the child's overall health, and the effectiveness of the treatment. In general, the prognosis for children with this type of cancer is poor due to the aggressive nature of the disease and the difficulty in diagnosing it.

**Section 6: Self-Debate**

**Question:** How can we improve the prognosis for children with mucinous carcinoma of the rectosigmoid?

**Answer:** To improve the prognosis for children with mucinous carcinoma of the rectosigmoid, we need to:

1. Increase awareness of the disease among healthcare professionals and parents.
2. Develop more effective diagnostic tools to detect the cancer at an earlier stage.
3. Conduct more research to understand the genetic and environmental factors that contribute to the development of the disease.
4. Develop targeted therapies that specifically attack the cancer cells without harming healthy cells.
5. Improve the coordination between different healthcare providers to ensure that children receive the best possible care.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, mucinous carcinoma of the rectosigmoid is a rare but aggressive type of cancer that affects children and adolescents. Early detection and treatment are crucial to improving the prognosis for these patients. By increasing awareness, developing better diagnostic tools, and conducting more research, we can help improve the outlook for children with this disease.

Half-life measurements with ionization chambers--a study of systematic effects and results.
Accurate half-lives have been determined at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) using ionization-chamber measuring systems to assure the quality of radioactivity standards over the period of their use as detector calibrants or other purposes such as nuclear medicine and environmental monitoring. Some long-lived radionuclides have been measured for up to 28 years: 85Kr, 90Sr, 108Agm, 133Ba, 152Eu, 154Eu, and more recently 65Zn, 106Ru, 109Cd and 137Cs; short-lived radionuclides have also been studied such as: 18F, 67Ga, 81Rb, 99Mo, 99Tcm, 103Pd, 111In, 123I, 131I, 153Sm, 169Er, 177Lu, 186Re, 188Re, 201Tl, 222Rn and 224Ra. Relative uncertainties of half-life values of the order of 5 x 10(-4) were obtained. These values are compared to the results of other measurements and evaluations, and the limiting systematic effects are discussed.

Lesson: Measuring Half-Lives using Ionization Chambers

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about measuring half-lives using ionization chambers. Half-life is the time it takes for the amount of a substance to reduce to half its original value. This concept is important in various fields such as nuclear medicine, environmental monitoring, and radiation protection.

Section 1: Understanding Half-Lives

1.1 What is a half-life?
A half-life is the time it takes for the amount of a substance to reduce to half its original value. It is usually represented by the symbol "t1/2" or "T1/2".

1.2 Why measure half-lives?
Measuring half-lives is important because it helps us understand how fast a substance decays or disappears over time. This information can be used to predict the behavior of radioactive materials, monitor environmental contamination, and assess the safety of nuclear reactors.

Section 2: Using Ionization Chambers to Measure Half-Lives

2.1 What is an ionization chamber?
An ionization chamber is a device that measures the amount of ionizing radiation in a sample. It consists of a gas-filled chamber with two electrodes connected to a voltage source. When ionizing radiation passes through the chamber, it creates ions and free electrons, which cause a current to flow between the electrodes. By measuring this current, we can determine the amount of radiation in the sample.

2.2 How do ionization chambers measure half-lives?
To measure half-lives using ionization chambers, we first need to determine the initial activity of the substance being studied. This can be done by counting the number of decays detected by the ionization chamber over a specific period of time. Once we have the initial activity, we can then measure the activity at regular intervals to determine the decay rate. By plotting the activity versus time, we can calculate the half-life by finding the time it takes for the activity to decrease to half its initial value.

Section 3: Systematic Effects and Results

3.1 What are systematic effects?
Systematic effects are sources of error or uncertainty in our measurements. In the case of measuring half-lives using ionization chambers, some common systematic effects include background radiation, chamber geometry, and detector efficiency.

3.2 What are the results of half-life measurements using ionization chambers?
At the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), accurate half-lives have been determined for several radionuclides using ionization-chamber measuring systems. Some of the long-lived radionuclides measured include 85Kr, 90Sr, 108Agm, 133Ba, 152Eu, 154Eu, and more recently 65Zn, 106Ru, 109Cd, and 137Cs. Relative uncertainties of half-life values of the order of 5 x 10(-4) were obtained. These values are compared to the results of other measurements and evaluations, and the limiting systematic effects are discussed.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about measuring half-lives using ionization chambers. We covered the concept of half-lives, why they are important, and how ionization chambers can be used to measure them. We also discussed systematic effects and the results of half-life measurements using ionization chambers. By understanding these concepts, we can apply this knowledge to various fields such as nuclear medicine, environmental monitoring, and radiation protection.

I was in the hospital for 1 night recently and had a few meals there which I'd like to comment on. Nutritionally the food is awful - no fresh fruit and vegetables. This is an important time for re-rehabilitation for people, and they need a well-balanced diet, not the equivalent of processed meals. I imagine the food in prisons is better. Basic nutritional advice should be sought so balanced and healthy meals are provided (probably at no extra expensive, and helping patients to remain on a good diet when they leave). Responses.

Wednesday night’s game between the Capitals and the Flyers is significant for two reasons: first, it’s the only Caps game to be played in a thirteen-day period; second, it’s the first time Michal Neuvirth will face the Washington Capitals in a regular season game. Better yet, this is the first time Neuvy will face his weakest competition yet in the opposing net.

We cannot wait.

Drafted in the second round of the 2006 draft, Czech-born Michal Neuvirth was the second in a long line of good goalies selected by the Caps under George McPhee and goaltender coach Dave Prior. Neuvirth helped the Hershey Bears to back-to-back Calder Cups in 2009 and 2010, but in 134 games for the Caps, Neuvirth did not pan out. Neuvy offered a disappointing .910 save percentage while struggling with injury and splitting time with Semyon Varlamov and Braden Holtby. Washington’s second-round sweep at the hands of the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2011 was mostly the fault of Neuvirth’ sub-.870 save percentage.

One year later, Neuvirth told a Czech website that he had a mortal lock on the Caps’ number-one goalie spot. Our translation of that interview:

“I’m starting the season sure that I want to play forty/fifty games and I am really sure that I have the weakest competition (Braden Holtby) I’ve ever had. I will try to be number one goalie this season. Finally!”

Mikey did not like our translation and said some not nice stuff about us, so we paid a well-respected and pretty expensive company to verify our translation, which they did.

Neuvirth played poorly in the remainder of his time in Washington. During Adam Oates’ shitty tenure, Neuvirth requested a trade. In early 2014, he got it. George McPhee traded Neuvirth to acquire Jaroslav Halak for another ill-fated Caps playoff run.

Alex Ovechkin, Michal Neuvirth, Martin Erat eat dinner. 2013-2014 was not fun.

Since leaving DC, Neuvirth has done okay, helping the Buffalo Sabres keep some dignity, struggling in Long Island, and then stealing the starting spot from Steve Mason in Philadelphia, where Neuvy has put up a .934 save percentage this season.

But since the trade, Braden Holtby has faced twice as many shots as Neuvirth and done distinctly better with them (.928 vs .923 in all situations, .932 to .930 in adjusted 5v5 save percentage, thanks WOI). The guy Neuvirth called his “weakest competition yet” turned out to be not only the Caps franchise goalie, but also the league’s best goalie, the current leading Vezina contender and a dark horse for the Hart. Plus Holtby grows way better facial hair.

But we should remember the good times, like that time he stretched, or those times he shut out the Pens twice in a row, or that time he got married at a castle like a goth kid.

Good luck tonight, Mikey.

Lesson: Understanding Real Estate Listings

Introduction:
Real estate listings are a common way for people to sell or rent properties. However, understanding the language used in these listings can be challenging, especially for those who are not familiar with the industry. In this lesson, we will explore the key components of real estate listings and learn how to interpret them.

Section 1: Understanding the Basics

**Topic 1: Types of Properties**

A property can be classified as a house, apartment, townhouse, condo, or duplex. These categories can further be divided into different types based on their location, size, and amenities. For example, a house can be a single-family home, multi-family home, or a vacation home. Similarly, an apartment can be a studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or three-bedroom unit.

**Topic 2: Location**

The location of a property is an essential factor in determining its value. A property's location can be described as being in a specific neighborhood, city, or region. The location can also refer to the proximity of the property to various amenities such as schools, parks, shopping centers, and public transportation.

**Topic 3: Size and Layout**

The size of a property refers to the number of rooms and square footage. The layout of a property refers to the arrangement of these rooms and how they flow together. A well-designed layout can make a property more functional and appealing.

Section 2: Understanding the Details

**Topic 1: Price and Rent**

The price or rent of a property is usually the first piece of information that catches our attention. The price or rent can be expressed in different currencies and can be negotiable. Other details related to the price or rent include any additional fees, taxes, and utilities.

**Topic 2: Amenities**

Amenities refer to the features and facilities that come with a property. These can include a swimming pool, gym, garden, parking space, and security system. The availability and quality of amenities can significantly impact the value of a property.

**Topic 3: Condition**

The condition of a property refers to its physical state and appearance. A property can be described as being in move-in condition, needing some repairs, or requiring extensive renovation. The condition of a property can affect its market value and the cost of maintenance and repairs.

Section 3: Interpreting the Listing

**Topic 1: Keywords and Phrases**

Real estate listings use specific keywords and phrases to describe a property. These can include "spacious," "charming," "cozy," and "luxurious." Understanding these keywords and phrases can help you interpret the listing and compare properties more effectively.

**Topic 2: Comparing Properties**

To compare properties, you can use the details provided in the listing to create a comparison chart. This can include factors such as location, size, layout, price, amenities, and condition. By comparing these factors, you can determine which property best meets your needs and preferences.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, understanding real estate listings requires knowledge of the basics, details, and interpretation of keywords and phrases. By mastering these skills, you can make informed decisions when buying or renting a property.

3. Confirmation: The council sends an electronic confirmation of payment to the customer.

**Section 4: Real-world example**

Let's consider a scenario where a citizen receives an eBill from their council for their council tax. They log into the council's online portal, view the bill, and make the payment using their debit card. The council confirms the payment and sends an electronic receipt to the citizen. This process is faster, more convenient, and environmentally friendly compared to traditional paper billing and payment methods.

**Glossary**

- eBilling: Electronic bill presentment and payment service
- Council: Local government authority responsible for providing services to citizens and businesses
- Online portal: A website or application that provides access to online services
- Debit card: A card that allows the holder to withdraw money from their bank account

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, eBilling solutions for local councils offer numerous benefits, including convenience, cost savings, improved communication, and increased efficiency. As technology advances, we can expect more councils to adopt eBilling solutions to improve their services and reduce operational costs. By understanding the benefits and working of eBilling, you are well-equipped to apply this knowledge to other areas of your life.

Let's say you have $10,000 to invest. You could put it in a savings account that earns 1% interest per year, or you could invest it in stocks that have an average annual return of 8%. Which option would you choose?

The answer depends on your financial goals and risk tolerance. If you need the money soon and cannot afford to lose any of it, then the savings account might be a better choice. However, if you don't need the money for several years and can afford to take some risks, then investing in stocks might be a better option.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Suppose you own a small business and need to make a decision about whether to invest in new equipment or hire more employees. You have two options:

1. Invest in new equipment that will increase production efficiency by 25%.
2. Hire more employees to work longer hours and increase production by 30%.

Which option should you choose?

To make this decision, you need to consider the costs and benefits of each option. For example, you could calculate the cost of purchasing the new equipment, compare it to the potential increase in revenue from increased production, and determine how long it would take to recoup the investment. Similarly, you could estimate the cost of hiring more employees, including wages, benefits, and training, and compare it to the potential increase in revenue from increased production.

# Lesson: How to Read Product Descriptions

## Introduction
In today's world, online shopping has become a norm. To make an informed decision while shopping online, it is essential to read product descriptions carefully. This lesson will teach you how to read product descriptions effectively and understand the key information provided.

## Section 1: Understanding the Basics

### Subsection 1.1: Material and Fabric Count
When reading a product description, the first thing you should look for is the material used to make the product. This information will help you determine if the product is suitable for your needs. For example, if you are looking for a pillowcase, you would want to look for a material that is soft and breathable, such as cotton. Additionally, the fabric count is another important factor to consider. A higher fabric count usually means a higher quality product.

### Subsection 1.2: Size and Dimensions
The size and dimensions of a product are also crucial pieces of information to look for in a product description. This will help you determine if the product will fit in your space or not. For example, if you are looking for a bed sheet, you would want to make sure that the size of the sheet is compatible with your bed.

## Section 2: Technical Specifications

### Subsection 2.1: Thread Count
Thread count is another important technical specification to look for in a product description. A higher thread count usually means a softer and more durable product. However, you should also consider the material used to make the product, as some materials may not hold up well with a high thread count.

### Subsection 2.2: Quilted vs Non-Quilted
If you are looking for a comforter or duvet, you may come across products that are either quilted or non-quilted. Quilted products have layers of fabric stitched together, which can provide more warmth and insulation. Non-quilted products, on the other hand, have a single layer of fabric. You should consider the climate you live in and your personal preferences when deciding between a quilted or non-quilted product.

## Section 3: Customer Reviews

### Subsection 3.1: Positive Reviews
Customer reviews can provide valuable insights into the quality and performance of a product. If you see positive reviews, it is a good sign that the product is worth considering. Look for reviews that mention specific features or benefits of the product, as these can help you make a more informed decision.

### Subsection 3.2: Negative Reviews
Negative reviews can also provide useful information about the product. Look for common complaints or issues mentioned by customers. This can help you identify potential drawbacks or problems with the product that you may want to avoid.

## Conclusion
By following the tips outlined in this lesson, you can effectively read product descriptions and make informed decisions when shopping online. Remember to look for material, fabric count, size and dimensions, technical specifications, and customer reviews to get a complete picture of the product. With these skills, you will be able to choose the right product for your needs and avoid disappointments.

**Lesson: Introduction to Exchange Open Interest**

**Section 1: What is Exchange Open Interest?**

Exchange Open Interest (EOI) refers to the total number of clearing-member 'open' (i.e., non-closed-out) positions in the market. It includes both the volume of trades and the number of open positions. EOI is an essential indicator in the financial market that helps traders understand the market's overall sentiment and potential risks.

**Section 2: How is Exchange Open Interest calculated?**

EOI is calculated by adding up all the open positions held by clearing members in the market. This includes both the volume of trades and the number of open positions. The EOI report is published on a T+1 basis, which means it covers all metals and contract-types, by prompt and strike (for TAPOs and options).

**Section 3: Why is Exchange Open Interest important?**

EOI is an essential indicator in the financial market because it helps traders understand the market's overall sentiment and potential risks. A high EOI indicates that there is a lot of activity in the market, which can lead to increased volatility. On the other hand, a low EOI suggests that the market is relatively quiet and stable.

**Section 4: How can I use Exchange Open Interest in my trading?**

As a trader, you can use EOI to identify potential entry and exit points in the market. For example, if you see that the EOI for a particular asset is increasing, it may indicate that the market is becoming more bullish. You could then consider entering a long position in anticipation of a price increase. Conversely, if you see that the EOI for an asset is decreasing, it may indicate that the market is becoming more bearish. You could then consider entering a short position in anticipation of a price decrease.

**Section 5: Practical Examples**

Let's say you are trading gold futures contracts. You notice that the EOI for gold has been steadily increasing over the past few days. This could indicate that there is a lot of buying pressure in the market, which could lead to a further increase in the price of gold. You decide to enter a long position in gold futures contracts, expecting the price to continue to rise.

**Section 6: Conclusion**

Understanding Exchange Open Interest is crucial for traders who want to make informed decisions about when to enter or exit the market. By monitoring EOI, traders can gain valuable insights into the market's overall sentiment and potential risks. By using this information wisely, traders can increase their chances of making profitable trades.

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, known in Japan as Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX and GX standing for Generation Next, is the successor and first spinoff series to the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime and manga.

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, a manga spinoff of the series written by Naoyuki Kageyama, was published in Shueisha's V Jump magazine in Japan.

Opening:

PLOT:

Taking place ten years after the events of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX follows a young boy named Juudai Yuuki who attends Duel Academy, a special institute founded by Seto Kaiba which teaches young duelists all about the game of Duel Monsters. Using his Elemental Hero deck and a Winged Kuriboh card given to him by Yuugi Mutou, Jaden makes various new friends and rivals and takes on many challenges in his quest to become the next King of Games.

CHARACTERS:

Juudai Yuuki
The main protagonist of the series. He is described as an energetic, passionate and optimistic boy who comes to Duel Academy to learn to become the new King of Games. He enjoys seeking out new duel challenges and is known to be quite lucky when it comes to his draws. He is capable of communicating with Duel Spirits, most often conversing with Winged Kuriboh, a card he received from Yuugi Mutou on the day of his entrance exam. He specializes in using Fusion Monsters, his main deck being the Elemental Heroes deck before later obtaining a set of Neo-Spacian monsters and his key card, Elemental Hero Neos. Following the third season, in which he entered an alternate dimension and confronted the duel spirit, Yubel, he has gained the powers of both The Supreme King, an evil alter-ego he temporarily took on, and Yubel, giving him powerful insight.

Sho Marufuji
Juudai's roommate at Duel Academy. He often doubts himself, living in the shadow of his older brother Ryou,#2 but has shown himself to be a talented duelist, managing to rise in the ranks from Slifer Red to Ra Yellow to Obelisk Blue. He battles using a Vehicroid deck, which in season four becomes a Cyberoid deck that he creates by implementing Ryou's Cyber Dark Dragon deck.

Asuka Tenjouin
A beautiful and talented duelist who is regarded as the queen of the Obelisk Blue. She is not elitist like many of the other Blue members, and quickly takes interest in Juudai. Later, it is also revealed that she loves Juudai. She duels using a Cyber Girl deck.

Jun Manjoume
A freshman duelist who ranks in the Obelisk Blue. He is elitist, thinking that low-scoring duelists such as Juudai should be kicked out. He thus becomes one of Juudai's rivals throughout the series. It is revealed early in the first season of the series that his elitism stems from his older brothers who urge him to become a great duelist in order to have their family reign over the dueling world, as his brothers rule over the political and financial worlds. After becoming estranged with his brothers, Jun decides to pursue a career in dueling, without their help. It is revealed that Jun has a soft side in the second season. When Asuka's brother arrives to take his sister to make a band, they have a duel. During the duel, Jun cheers on Asuka. He also has an awkward crush on her. He initially uses a power based deck, focusing on powerful monsters such as the Armed Dragons.
