Hex translator XII

Made a particularly large one this time, 507 characters. The input is "the largest non-titanic prime which can be expressed as the difference of equal powers of two consecutive primes (i.e., 3^1061 - 2^1061)." (Credit to Shyam Sunder Gupta for submitting this number to Prime Curios!)

This is what the pseudocode looked like:

Worker Misclassification in Washington State Leads to Millions in Revenue Losses, New Harvard Report Details

December 16, 2019

Widespread misclassification of workers could mean millions of dollars uncollected and thousands of workers underpaid and without benefits

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON — The number of employers engaging in worker misclassification in Washington state has risen substantially over the last 10 years. Misclassification has resulted in the denial of pay and benefits for tens of thousands of workers as well as millions of dollars in lost revenue, according to a new study from researchers with Harvard Law School’s Labor and Worklife Program. The issue — misclassifying workers as independent contractors instead of labeling them as employees — hurts the public and workers while allowing irresponsible employers to avoid tax and insurance obligations. Across all industries, misclassification leads to underpaying wages, a lack of benefits for workers, and decreased safety protections. According to the new report, Economic Consequences of Misclassification in the State of Washington,” the top three industries affected are construction, clerical services, and hotels and restaurants.

“Employers that misclassify their workers as independent contractors – intentionally or not – cheat their workers out of wages and other protections and benefits those workers have earned,” said Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson. “This problem is not new, but this Harvard Labor and Worklife Program report shines a light on the degree to which this problem impacts Washingtonians. According to Mark Erlich and Lisa Xu’s research, the percentage of Washington employers who engage in misclassification nearly tripled between 2008 and 2017 – that’s unacceptable. I look forward to working with our partners across state government to address the increasing prevalence of this practice and improve protections for misclassified workers.”

The misclassification of employees can result in savings up to 30 percent, a strong incentive for employers seeking to reduce labor costs. In addition, from 2013-17, the state of Washington and the federal government lost substantial revenues as a result of this practice:

  • The state of Washington lost $152 million in unemployment taxes, for an average annual loss of $30.4 million;
  • Washington state’s workers’ compensation system and the private self-insured pool lost $268 million in unpaid premiums, for an average annual loss of $53.6 million;
  • The federal government lost $384 million in federal income taxes during the five-year period, for an average annual loss of $76.8 million;
  • The federal government lost $299 million in payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare (FICA), for an average annual loss of $59.8 million; and
  • The federal government lost $9 million in federal unemployment insurance tax (FUTA), for an average annual loss of $1.8 million.

“The rise of the gig economy has brought increasing attention to the study of worker misclassification and its effects on federal and state tax revenues and worker conditions,” commented study co-author Mark Erlich. “Workers, responsible employers, and taxpayers pay a price when misclassification occurs. It is a form of fraud that demands correction. I hope our research will prompt legislative and regulatory enforcement solutions to protect all citizens across the state."

Two Bulgarian Ladies Assume Important Posts in EU Administration

Bulgaria in EU | June 2, 2021, Wednesday // 15:07|  views

For two days in a row, the European Commission informs of Bulgarian women assuming important positions in the administration of the Executive Body of the European Union.

On Tuesday the European Commission appointed Biliana Sirakova as European Youth Coordinator in order to “strengthen cooperation between all services on issues related to young people and to integrate their expectations into different European policies”. The coordinator, a statement points out, will also be “a visible contact and reference point for organizations serving the interests of our European youth”.

Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Youth, said: “I expect the new youth coordinator, Bilana Sirakova, to work within our institution to integrate the expectations of young people into all European policies. Her role will be to coordinate our different policies for youth, to encourage participation by young people in our initiatives such as the Conference on the Future of Europe, and finally to give visibility to the ideas and contributions of our European young people” .

On June 2,the European Commission said that Bulgarian Iliyana Tsanova was appointed, as Deputy Director-General of the Directorate-General for Budget (DG BUDG).

She will be responsible for ensuring the sound governance and effective risk management of the borrowing and lending and other financial operations and activities undertaken by DG BUDG.

She should take up her new functions on September 1 2021.

The EC said that Tsanova has 20 years of outstanding experience in international development and investment banking, a strong leadership and management experience along with excellent negotiations skills which make her very well suited to play a key role in managing the financing of the Union’s budgetary support for the Union recovery plan in the context of Covid-19 crisis.

In her new capacity, she will act as Chief Risk Officer at the Commission, which will allow her to draw, in particular, on the robust experience she has previously gained as Deputy Managing Director of European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) and in various senior positions at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the EC said.

Tsanova is currently working as the Chairperson of the Supervisory Board of SofConnect.

Until 2020, she was holding the position of Deputy Managing Director of EFSI, a 26 billion euro guarantee facility provided by the European Union to the European Investment Bank (EIB) Group to support strategic investments in the EU.

The EC said that Tsanova’s broad professional experience is diversified further by her former engagements in commercial banks and consultancy while also assuming governmental responsibilities for brief periods in caretaker capacity as a Deputy Prime Minister in charge of EU funds management in Bulgaria. Tsanova held that post in the 2014 Bliznashki caretaker administration

We need your support so can keep delivering news and information about Bulgaria! Thank you!

Resolution 16-03: Retaining the CBMPA Legislation

  • Area Originating From: Area 4
  • General Session Action: Passed
  • Submitted by: Treasure County CD

WHEREAS, coal bed strata contain the Coal Bed Methane (CBM) resource which is distributed across several Conservation Districts in Montana. While current CBM activity in Montana is currently limited due to the methane market, impacts from past actions continue, and the potential remains for future resource extraction.

WHEREAS, the Coal Bed Methane Protection Act (§ 76-15-901 through § 76-15-905, MCA), of 2000 established the Coal Bed Methane Protection Program (“Program”) for the purpose of compensating private landowners and water right holders for certain damages that are attributable to the development and/or production of coal bed methane [§ 76-15-902(5) MCA].

WHEREAS, the Act does not apply to activities outside of coal areas such as conventional oil and gas.

WHEREAS, the Act assigns administrative authority over the Program to local Conservation Districts that have coal beds within their exterior boundary or whose water sources (ground or surface), land values, or agricultural production may be adversely affected by the extraction and/or development of coal bed methane, See § 76-15-901(1), MCA. Conservation Districts meeting these criteria are directed to establish procedures for evaluating claims for compensation submitted by a private landowner or a water right holder. Conservation Districts have authority to approve or deny claims for compensation and also to receive compensation for their administrative expenses (10%) under the Program. Compensation comes from the Coal Bed Methane Protection Account (“Account’), which is administered by the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (“DNRC”).

WHEREAS, the Act assigns DNRC the responsibility of administering the funds in the Account for use by the Conservation Districts. See § 76-15-904(6), MCA. DNRC is also responsible for approval of Conservation District-established procedures for evaluating claims for compensation under the Act. In the interest of encouraging a consistent approach among Conservation Districts administering the Act, the Coal Bed Methane Protection Act Committee (“Committee”), consisting of representatives from the Big Horn, Custer, Carbon, Carter, Powder River, Rosebud, Treasure, Wibaux, Garfield, Gallatin, Yellowstone and Prairie Conservation Districts, has prepared with approval by DNRC the procedures, guidelines, and claim forms. The DNRC’s role is limited to approval of the Conservation District’s rules and administration of funds in the Account. Other than review of rules and procedures, the DNRC has no review authority over the Conservation District’s decisions or actions implementing the Act.

WHEREAS, under the Coal Bed Methane Protection Act (§ 76-15-905 through § 76-15-905, MCA), application for Compensation for Loss of Groundwater, Surface Water or Damage to Land or Value may be made for private lands (effective after July 1, 2011).

WHEREAS, The Powder River Conservation District (PRCD) and DNRC approved four landowner claims in FY2015 which are the first approved under the DNRC-funded program. These four claims ($83,000) and PRCD overhead ($8,000) total approximately $ 91,000. The approved claims have included diminished well water for livestock and homes. The funds reimbursed two landowners for expenses to maintain water well production and another two producers to drill new wells to replace declining flow attributed to CBM. An additional FY2016 claim is pending. The claim locations are in Montana in the vicinity of the Powder River near the Wyoming / Montana state line.

WHEREAS, the approved CBMPP claims were completed after the FY2015 Legislative Session, and were previously unavailable for consideration in funding allocations.

WHEREAS, methane gas in drinking water has also increased in some wells. The presence of methane gas in drinking water, as confirmed by laboratory tests, has also reduced water well flow, and gas levels can be unsafe in some situations. The methane gas bubbles are visible in water from these taps.

WHERAS, groundwater may take a decade to be replenished and the effects from CBM may be present decades after drilling has occurred.

WHEREAS, shut-in CBM wells with depressed aquifer water levels may, in the absence of active pumping to extract methane, continue to be a source of gas that moves upslope in rock strata to adjacent producer water wells.

WHEREAS, CBM resources remain available for future extraction and there is a potential for future activities to affect private landowners, and therefore a potential for more claims.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Montana Association of Conservation Districts work with DNRC and the state legislature to assure that the Coal Bed Methane Protection Act is retained as state law in order to maintain the future option of providing a mechanism to reimburse landowners with approved claims.

Impressions on multiple implants: is it possible without splinting?

The purpose of impressions on implants and prosthesis passivity

Impressions on implants have always been a complex phase and one that is crucial for proceeding with a correct prosthetic rehabilitation. The purpose of impressions on implants is to record their three-dimensional position in the dental arch , their inclinations and the spatial relationships with other implants or oral structures (such as teeth, alveolar crests and soft tissues) as accurately and precisely as possible.

By virtue of their rigid connection with the bone, it is extremely important that the prosthetic structure connects passively with the implants in order to relieve permanent tensions and stresses on both the biological tissues (bone and peri-implant soft tissues) and the components of the prosthesis1,2. The passive adaptation of the prostheses on multiple dental implants therefore depends, firstly, on an accurate impression, but also on the application of a correct impression-taking technique3.

Techniques for impression-taking on implants

In cases of prosthetic rehabilitation on multiple implants, especially in the case of full edentulous arches, the splinting of the impression transfers (i.e. their mutual connection with a rigid material) inserted into implants previously placed in the bone is a generally recommended technique4,5. Rigid splinting of the transfers is very useful for preventing the transfers from being displaced when the impression is removed from the oral cavity. This is the moment at which there is the highest risk of deforming the impression material, given the force applied to remove the impression tray6.

This difficulty in removing the impression tray from the patient’s mouth, due primarily to undercuts that the impression has to pass and areas of retention in the oral cavity, is undeniably a factor to be taken into consideration, as the majority of impression-taking errors originate from this procedure. The risk of deforming the material following removal from the mouth, with displacements of the transfers within the impression is higher the more slanted and not parallel to one another the implants are,6 and it also increases with an increase in the length if the arc of the circle formed by the distribution of the implants within the arch7.

In addition, during the steps involved in developing the model in the dental laboratory, the connection between the implant analogue and the transfer may cause the transfer to rotate within the impression mass8. The dental technician must therefore dedicate due attention during this phase to make sure that he does not alter the position of the transfers embedded in the impression material or cause their detachment.

Should the impression transfer rotate on itself during this phase, the risk of mobilising it during the development of the gypsum model would be very high. As we know, the development of gypsum models (setting reaction) is characterised by an initial contraction of the material followed by a subsequent expansion phase. Therefore, it may be the case that during the model casting phase the transfer-analogue unit may be displaced within the cast impression, due to the contraction and expansion of the gypsum. Also in this sense, the splinting of the transfer may prove useful in preventing problems.

Splinting techniques

Various techniques have been proposed for clinically stabilising transfers during the phases of impression-taking 4. The use of acrylic resins that undergo limited dimensional contractions, used either alone or in combination with other rigid materials (metal wires or fibres) connected to the impression transfers is undeniably the technique that is currently most used by dentists.

The advantage of this technique is that it can be carried out easily without requiring any special equipment. However, it calls for considerable chair time, with potential technical difficulties if the transfers are in awkward positions (rear upper arch). There is also a risk of displacing the transfers following the contraction of the resin, especially when methacrylic resins are used. As is known from literature, the entity of the contraction depends on the volume of resin used to connect the various transfers and the time that elapses between the taking of the impression and casting9,10.

In order to avoid the inconvenience of resin contraction, certain dentists privilege other techniques, such as bonding the transfers using direct intraoral electrowelding with a single titanium bar or other metallic materials using welders with copper tips 11. These techniques involve melting titanium structures that are therefore taken to melting point (1660 °C), extremely quickly (2-5 milliseconds) through the passage of a given quantity of electrical current from a welder with copper tips (Mondani intraoral welder).

Thanks to the different heat conduction properties of the copper present in the electrodes and the titanium parts, the heat generated by the procedure is rapidly dissipated and subtracted from the welded system. However, it cannot be ruled out that a certain quantity of heat may be transferred to the surrounding biological tissues, even if these systems would generally appear safe when used with dedicated components and certified welder settings.

Studies published in literature have reported that, although transfer splinting clinically involves a significant increase in chair time, impressions on implants are considerably more accurate when the transfers are rigidly splinted together3,4,7.

Even for digital impressions, transfer splinting, including with non-rigid systems, would appear to increase impression accuracy12.

For these reasons, impression-taking on multiple implants is only possible without splinting in selected cases in which, for example, the arc of the circle formed by the position of the implants is not particularly large. Or when the implants are parallel to one another or positioned with a limited slant, such as to allow easy removal of the impression from the patient’s mouth without exerting particular forces.

It is also important, especially in the case of implants that are not parallel to one another, to use an impression material that is rigid but that at the same time has a certain elastic return in order to compensate the forces exerted during the removal of the impression from the oral cavity without being distorted. As indicated in literature, it is therefore more appropriate to use polyvinylsiloxanes than polyethers when the impressions are taken on slanting implants that are not parallel to one another13.

Subject Changing the workflow
Date Wed, 12 Oct 2011 11:40:18 GMT
Hello all,

I am not very familiar with the ODE source code and was looking for a way to
change the workflow during runtime.
I would like to know if someone has an advice on that, where should I look?
More precisely, I want to change the internal logic of a BPEL process based
on some monitored events.
On a second phase, I would like to change the logic just for a particular
user instance, which means that future calls to the BPEL process will not
perceive the changes.

For what I have seen so far, to change future logic I could try to
manipulate the output of the ODE BPEL Compiler. I do not know if I could do
the per user instance, but it seems possible for future executions.
In order to control the logic per user, I guess I would have to use
the Process Management API, but I could not find any information of the
possibility to change the execution instance itself.

Best regards,

Club news

Brolldozer back for Blaze

The Genting Casino Coventry Blaze are pleased to announce the return of 27-year-old Canadian forward David "Brolldozer" Broll for the 2020/21 Elite League season.

The 6’2” winger contributed 21 points in 43 Elite League competition games for the Blaze last season, helping the club to its most successful campaign in many years.

Since arriving in Coventry, Broll has become a real favourite with supporters and teammates. Known for his big presence on and off the ice, he was named Clubman of the Year for the 2019/20 season and his leadership skills acknowledged by being rewarded with an associate captaincy.

Before arriving in Europe, Broll was a regular at the AHL level playing over 300 regular season and Calder Cup playoff games, most notably for Toronto Marlies, Syracruse Crunch, St. John’s IceCaps and Laval Rockets.

He was drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs in round 6 (152nd overall) of the 2011 NHL draft, going on to sign a three-year entry-level contract and play 5 games for the famous club in the world’s best league during 2013/14.

Other notable highlights so far for Broll have been being selected to the ECHL’s All-Star game (2014/15) and in 2016/17 he was named St. John’s IceCaps Speciality AHL Man of the Year.

Head Coach Danny Stewart said, “Broller was a big presence for us on and off the ice. He quickly became one of our leaders last year and it’s great to get back another piece of the leadership group along with Feds. I think we will see an even better David Broll this season. We always talk about his presence and character, but before his injury he was close to a 20-goal pace. He skates well for a big guy and has the skill to go with it. I think it was evident to see he 100% bought into the jersey, and it’s great to have him back.”

MVar semantics: proposal

Jan-Willem Maessen jmaessen at
Fri Mar 31 12:49:27 EST 2006

John -

You are, in effect, proposing a memory model for MVars and IORefs.
The high-level model for programmers is "In order to communicate data
between threads, you *must* use an MVar, and never an IORef."

But the devil is in the details.  I'd like to strongly urge *against*
adopting the extremely loose model you have proposed.  The following
things seem particularly important:

* reads and writes to IORefs should be atomic, meaning either a
complete update is observed or no change is observed.  In the absence
of this guarantee, misuse of IORefs can cause programs to crash in
unrepeatable ways.  If the machine doesn't make this easy, the
implementor ought to sweat a little so that Haskell programmers don't
have to sweat at all.

* I assume forkIO constitutes a sequence point.  I suspect throwTo et
al ought to as well.

* I would urge that atomicModifyIORef constitute a sequence point---I
suspect it loses a great deal of its utility otherwise.

Now, on to more difficult issues...  Consider the following example

data RefList a = Nil | Cons a (IORef (RefList a))

cons :: a -> RefList a -> IO (RefList a)
cons x xs = do
   a <- newIORef xs
   return (Cons x a)

hd :: RefList a -> a
hd (Cons a _) = a

tl :: RefList a -> IO (RefList a)
tl (Cons a t) = readIORef a

setTl :: RefList a -> RefList a -> IO ()
setTl (Cons a t) t' = writeIORef t t'

main = do a <- cons 'a' Nil
           forkIO $ do
             c <- cons 'c' Nil
             b <- cons 'b' Nil
	    setTl b c
             setTl a b
           at <- tl a
           case at of
             Nil -> return ()
             Cons _ _ -> do
	      putChar (hd at)
               att <- tl at

This program is, by your informal model, buggy.  The question is
this: how badly wrong is it?
Let's say at happens to read b.  Is (hd at) well defined?  That's
assuming very strong consistency from the memory system already.  How
about the IORef in at?  Is that fully allocated, and properly
initialized?  Again, if it is, that implies some pretty strong
consistency from the memory system.

Now, what about att?  By your argument, it may or may not be c.  We
can ask the same questions about its contents assuming it happens to
be c.

People have talked a lot about weakly-ordered NUMA machines for more
than a decade, and they're always just a couple of years away.  In
practical terms, non-atomic NUMA memory models tend to be so hard to
program that these machines have never found any traction---you need
to throw away all of your software, including your OS, and start
afresh with programmers that are vastly more skilled than the ones
who wrote the stuff you've already got.

My feeling is that the purely-functional portion of the Haskell
language already makes pretty stringent demands of memory
consistency.  In light of those demands, and the fact that mutable
state is used in pretty tightly-controlled ways, it's worth
considering much stronger memory models than the one you propose.
I'd even go so far as to say "IORefs and IOArrays are sequentially
consistent".  The only argument against this behavior is their use in
the internals of arrays, file I/O, the FFI, etc., etc. (though really
it's all about IOUArrays in the latter cases) where we might
conceivably pay a bundle in performance.

Another possibility is an algebraic model based on commuting IO
actions.  That approach is a particular bias of mine, having tangled
with these issues extensively in the past.  It'd go something like this:
   * Any data written to an IORef can safely be read by another
thread; we cannot observe
       partially-written objects.
   * readIORef commutes with readIORef.
   * newIORef commutes with newIORef.
   * writeIORef and newIORef commute with writeIORef or readIORef to
a different IORef.
   * Nothing commutes with readMVar, writeMVar, or atomicModifyIORef.
   * Nothing before a forkIO can be commuted to after forkIO.

I think it's a Good Idea to choose a model that is conceptually
simple now, at the cost of imposing a few constraints on
implementors, rather than a complex specification which permits
maximum implementation flexibility but is utterly opaque.
Realistically, the machines which are likely to be built will make it
easy to comply with a strong specification.

may be the largest online marketplace, and the platform is growing. It includes amazing possibilities for online retail businesses to showcase products to countless consumers. If you sell on, you’re certainly going the easiest way. Though if you are just offering on Amazon, you may be losing out on more revenue. It may look being a challenging task to broaden to more systems, speculate you might be already selling on, it will be easy to use other platforms to improve your profits like the Amazon FBA platform. offers a Multiple Channel Fulfillment (MCF) option that may help you expand to more sales platforms with extremely little added costs.

What Is Amazon Multi Channel Fulfillment? The FBA support from Amazon meets your Amazon orders, as the MCF choice fulfills purchases all other systems. It is possible to delegate most fulfillment to Amazon. Regardless of whether you sell items on auction websites, Shopify, any another platform, Amazon will choose and channel products to your clients. You are able to purchase handling and shipping.

Multi Funnel Fulfillment allows you to choose regular, two-day, or next-day delivery, and yes it computes transport costs with regards to the size the item together with the chosen shipping approach.

If you need to make use of MCF, there are a few requirements you’ll want to think of. First, you have to be authorized for FBA, and that means you possess cards on record with Amazon. Those cards will unquestionably have to pay for fulfillment costs, except if your seller account carries a positive balance and then MCF fees will likely be subtracted out of your stability.

It’s also advisable to use a professional seller account with Amazon to utilize MCF which usually costs $39. 99 each month, however, you don’t spend on product list charges.

Make the most of Amazon’s MCF using these guidelines. Amazon’s MCF is a wonderful way of websites if you use FBA and may stick to the above-mentioned requirements. But there’s something which could make this better still in your case together with your customers.
Employ Messaging on Packing Slips. With Amazon MCF, logos and customization are limited. You cannot include personalized inserts or packing slides, you could have particular communications printed around the packaging slide. Make the most of these special messages to demonstrate that you value client’s business and value them as customers.
Change Prices With regards to the Platform. An interesting fact regarding multichannel selling is that gardeners can plan prices to further improve your revenue. As an example, if you are supplying a product on Amazon, it might need a inexpensive to be competitive. That same product on another system it is not as competitive and so could cost more.
Schedule Some Profits. This tip makes business sense wherever you sell products online. You don’t ever will easily notice when unpredictable expenses comes up. With MCF, however, the pricing might be cost-effective, you may have to pay for such things as delivery and managing, supplies, and account costs. Even though you may pass these costs to clients, it is usually recommended that you incorporate some money put aside for for those who have an excellent item and also have to list out it with income channels quickly.

Sharpenable or Retractable Eye Pencils – Which Works Best?

Sharpenable or Retractable Eye Pencils – Which Works Best?

Hi Gorgeous Divas!!!

There are three staple products in our vanity, which we can quickly use for a simple “no makeup look,” even on days that we feel too lazy – BB cream, kajal and colored lip balm. In fact, add a mascara here too. These are the products which are of daily use, and which can make or break any makeup look, whether light or heavy, day or night. A kajal, is the oldest and the most favorite of all the makeup products, of all times. Right from the “surma” used by our grandmothers, to the now smudge proof and water proof ones that we have, this is one form of makeup, that has seen many days, and many forms. The “dibiya” kajals, then the herbals ones, then came the sharpenable ones, the retractable ones, then more improvement in the form of additional features of smudge proof and water proof, because all of us Indian gals love to play with our dark eyes.

Sharpenable or Retractable Eye Pencils

Sharpenable or Retractable?

One question that we all have faced while purchasing kajal/eye pencils, is this – should we go for a retractable eye pencil, or a sharpenable one? While there are varying prices in the both the categories, we usually go for the retractable ones, because of ease of use, and also because, some of the most popular and affordable kajals (eyeconic, colossal, magique etc.), come in retractable forms. The sharpenable ones like Lakme absolute, Colorbar Just Smoky, Colorbar I Glides, Faces Long Wear, are higher on the price side, and come with an additional expense of sharpener. So, what exactly should we look for while taking this decision? That, is what I am going to tell you in this post.

Sharpenable or Retractable Eye Pencils

Sharpenable Kajals:

rati beauty ad

The biggest point that comes in favor of sharpenable pencils, is hygiene. Every time you sharp it, the used layer wears off, and the new and fresh tip comes, which is applied. Since most of us apply kohl on waterline, which is more prone to all kind of sensitivity, watering issues, infections etc. In case of sensitive eyes, sharpenable pencils are the best options due to this factor.

Most of the sharpenable eye pencils, have a gel like finish. Also, they are more long wearing, and have a darker and richer finish. You can go through the reviews of Lakme Absolute Kohl, Colorbar Just Smoky in Just Black, Colorbar I Glide in Blackout, Faces Long Wear Eye Pencil in Solid Black. All these are sharpenable eye pencils, and give a superb dark and gel-like finish to the eyes. Also, the fine sharpened tip gives you more control, when you have to draw precision lines.

On the other hand, most of the sharpenable eye pencils and kohls are priced on the higher side. I don’t know the logic for this, but this might be a general trend as the retractable ones are considered more of the budget types. Though, we may find expensive ones there too. Also, sharpenable eye pencils tend to get over fast due to regular sharpening, and sometimes product wastage too, when you do not get that perfect tip in the first time.

The main points that are in favor of sharpenable pencils are : hygienic, gel like finish, darker.
The main points that are against sharpenable pencils are : price, wastage

Retractable Kajals/Eye Pencils:

Now, comes the most beloved version of kohls. Ever since the launch of Maybelline Colossal, the market has seen more retractable variants from other brands too, on the affordable side, targeting daily use. The USP of retractable kajals, is the ease of use. No sharpening and no delay. You just have to twist up, apply, twist down, cap it, and keep it in your bag for any touch up that you might need.

Sharpenable or Retractable Eye Pencils

Most of the popular retractable pencils, are very affordable, mostly in the range of INR 200-250. Some of these are Maybelline colossal, Lakme eyeconic, L’oreal Magique, and the latest Lotus Colorkick. These pencils have a twist up mechanism, and thus are very easy to use.

Retractable pencils, mostly, are not very dark. They have a matte, creamy or semi-matte finish, but not the gel-like finish that most of the sharpenable pencils can boast of. Also, they are not as dark. In the hygiene factor too, retractable pencils are not too good, as you use the same tip again and again. You cannot wipe it even, as it is of no use, and obviously you do not sharpen these, so the used layer doesn’t come off. Sensitive eyes, be very careful while choosing your retractable kajal.

Sharpenable or Retractable Eye Pencils

The main points that are in favor of retractable pencils : ease of use, affordable, easily available
The main points that are against retractable pencils : hygiene, sensitive eyes issues

Which should you pick?

If you are a sensitive eye gal, or you wear specs, you should mostly go for sharpenable eye pencils and kohls. These may be pricier, but are more hygienic than their retractable counterparts. Then again, for the ever fast life, retractable versions are best, for those quick morning application, and touch ups, because you do not need to worry about the blunt tip.

Sharpenable or Retractable Eye Pencils

On the ending note, I think that we should all have at least one sharpenable kajal, for those perfect lines and finish, and one retractable one, for those quick stroke, soft daily applications. Then again, if you have a retractable pencil which is dark and rich enough, it takes the brownie points too.

  1. I love sharpenable ones, but out of laziness I prefer retractable pencils 😐 . However for a date or party I wear my Lakme absolute kohl 😀

    1. i got the lotus colorkick jomo 😀 😀 Gonna try it soon…I fell in love with its gel like dark black wen i saw the review here 🙂

  2. Wow kadambari… This is such a nice and informative post… I love both kinds of pencils… Only dont like the ones which cannot be retracted back…

    1. Yes..faced that in case of lakme absolute liners 🙁 but I have so many kohls right now..both sharpenable and retractable ones 😛

  3. Hey… A very informative post .. I wanna have a kajal which has the darkness of sharpen able pencils n ease of use of retractable ones.. Btw how’s the lotus colorkick kajal??

    1. Thanks 🙂 I haven’t opened the colorkick one yet..but judging from the review on is sure going to b an awesome pick 😀

Parrots appear to altruistically help each other out

Researchers filmed one African grey parrot helping another get a reward, an act of altruism they say hasn’t been demonstrated before in birds. “We found that African grey parrots voluntarily and spontaneously help familiar parrots to achieve a goal, without obvious immediate benefit to themselves,” said Desiree Brucks, co-author of the study.

Homo erectus arrived on Java much later than thought

Homo erectus arrived on Java from mainland Eurasia about 500,000 years later than once thought, according to a study that dated volcanic material around where fossils were found. It may have taken longer in part because the species didn’t have skills needed to cross the sea.

New Scientist

Venusian volcanoes may be active

The presence of olivine, a mineral found following recent volcanic activity, may point to such activity on Venus. Researchers looked at Venus Express spacecraft data that indicated olivine was present in the planet’s lava flows, suggesting the activity was much more recent than earlier thought.

Infected shrews might be transmitting encephalitis virus in Europe

Borna virus has probably been infecting humans for decades and might be the cause of a rash of unexplained, fatal encephalitis cases in areas of Germany, Austria and Switzerland, where the virus is endemic. The virus causes encephalitis in humans, sheep and ostriches, but the bicolored white-toothed shrew is a natural reservoir that doesn’t appear to suffer symptoms, and a recent study points to contact with shrews caught by pet cats as possible sources of illness.

Acute sleep loss linked to higher blood tau levels

Healthy young men with acute sleep loss had a 17% average increase in blood levels of tau protein — which is associated with Alzheimer’s disease — compared with an average 2% gain in blood tau concentrations among those with normal sleep, according to a small study in the journal Neurology. However, more studies are needed to determine whether elevated blood tau among those with acute sleep loss indicates tau removal or accumulation in the brain, said researcher Jonathan Cedernaes.

Appreciating Nature – Robins in February

OK, as much as we’ve complained about this winter in the Northeast (and across the country), as much as we’ve shoveled and slipped and sighed, at some point you have to appreciate nature’s pure beauty, in the midst of its fury!   With that in mind, enjoy this calming scene of a family of robins, captured by Marcus Fabrics’ president of the Retail Division, Stephanie Dell ‘Olio, from her New Jersey home.

So, in between the complaints, let’s remember to take time to appreciate nature.

SD-robins…and save this post until July, when you’ll appreciate the visual even more ; )

150000 penguins presumed dead maybe joined other colonies

The 150000 penguins that had been presumed dead because a massive iceberg landlocked them, may simply have wandered off to join other colonies and did not starve to death because of the extra 37 miles (60 km) they had to walk to get food, says a researcher from the University of Minnesota.

What used to be a large area of open water close to the shore became blocked by a colossal iceberg known as B09B. Over a 5-year period, the population of an Adélie penguin colony plummeted from 160,000 to just 10,000.

Scientists from the University of New South Wales in Australia and the West Coast Penguin Trust in New Zealand wrote in the journal Antarctic Science (citation below) that Commonwealth Bay, which used to be a super place for Adélie penguin colonies, became a nightmare after the mega-iceberg blocked their access to food.

Died or Moved onWhen a penguin colony’s population plummeted from 160,000 to just 10,000, a group of scientists thought that 150,000 of them had died. However, an expert believes they may have moved to other nearby colonies. (Image: travelwild.com)

Penguins’ only source of food is in the sea. While they are supreme swimmers and hunters in the water, on land they are not so agile. Having to walk sixty kilometres is a very long way for a penguin, the scientists wrote.

The researchers suggested that the baby penguins simply did not get enough calories if their parents had to walk such great distances to get food.

What if the penguins simply wandered off?

However, Lead author Dr. Kerry-Jayne Wilson, who works at the West Coast Penguin Trust, and colleagues have no physical proof that the penguins are dead. None of them found lots of frozen dead birds.

Not everybody agrees with their suggestion that they starved and died. During hard times – when fishing gets tough – penguins tend to move on. Adélie penguins have been known to pick up their things and skip town when there’s no food about.

In 2001, an iceberg grounded the southern Ross Sea, so the birds in Ross Island waddled off and joined nearby colonies until the iceberg broke up.

Why is it that nearby colonies are thriving? Perhaps because they have received 150,000 new migrants.

Michelle LaRue, a former Research Fellow at the Polar Geospatial Center, University of Minnesota, a penguin population specialist, said that just because you observe considerably fewer birds in a place does not necessarily mean that the ones that were there before have died.

In an email interview with Live Science, Dr. LaRue, who was not involved in the study, wrote:

“They easily could have moved elsewhere, which would make sense if nearby colonies are thriving.”

Massive decline in colony population

Dr. Kerry-Jayne Wilson, who believes the penguins starved to death, said:

“Over the past five years, the regional changes triggered by iceberg B09B have led to an order of magnitude decline in Adélie Penguin numbers and catastrophic breeding failure in comparison to the first counts undertaken by Mawson a century ago.”

Michelle LaRueDr. Michelle LaRue believes the 150,000 penguins may have moved to other nearby colonies. (Image: drmichellelarue.com)

The researchers in the original study say that the huge Adélie Penguin population decline in that colony is directly linked to the rapid ice expansion – the floating sea ice that is attached to land permanently – in the area, due to the grounding of B09B in 2010.

Dr. Wilson said regarding how she felt:

“It was heart wrenching to see the impact of the fast ice on the penguins. The normally noisy and aggressive Adélie penguins were so subdued they hardly acknowledged our intrusion into their realm.”

“It was sad to walk amongst thousands of freeze-dried chicks from the previous season and hundreds of abandoned eggs.”

Superb swimmers penguinsAdélie penguins are excellent swimmers. They are often seen leaping out of the water onto land, and never slip or fall when they hit the ice. (Image: ocean.si.edu)

Nearby penguin colony thriving

An Adélie penguin colony just five miles (8 km) from the fast-ice edge – on the eastern fringe of Commonwealth Bay – is doing super well, ‘thriving’ according to the researchers.

Isn’t it possible that it is doing well because it has taken on a large number of birds that left the blocked off colony? Their destitute neighbors were quite near, much nearer than the 60-kilometre walk they had to do to get food.

Co-author Dr. Chris Fogwill, from the University of New South Wales’ Climate Change Research Centre, said:

“Over the last year the fast ice associated with B09B has begun to break up in Commonwealth Bay, which is great news for the penguin colonies.”

“However, the effects of the changes over the past five years we have observed on the ecosystems in and around Commonwealth Bay will help us better understand the impacts of such large scale events on the fragile Antarctic ecosystem.”

About Adélie penguins

According to Penguins-World, Adélie penguins are the smallest of the Antarctic penguins, although they are definitely able to hold their own down there.

They are short – reaching a maximum height of 30 inches – but wide, which tends to give them that overweight appearance. Their weight ranges from 8 to 13 pounds (3.6 to 5.9 kg).

Adélie penguins have a longer tail than that of other species. They have a red beak with a black tip, and rings of white around their eyes.

Adélie penguins reside all over the Antarctic mainland as well as several islands, including Ross Island. Experts believe that over 5 million of them live in the Ross Sea area.

These penguins live in extremely large colonies. Researchers have identified 38 different colonies. They are extremely social animals and very mellow in nature. Most of the time they get along with each other. They can leap from the water to land without sliding or slipping.

Their main food is krill, but they might also eat squid, crustaceans and silverfish. Experts believe that their food consumption is much lower in the winter months compared to the other seasons.

In October and November, Adélie penguins move to their breeding grounds. They make their nests out of loose pieces of grass and stones. It is the only time of year that they can become aggressive towards each other. Some have been known to steal entire nests, or grab nesting material from a neighbour.

The adult male and female take turns incubating the eggs, which hatch in early March. If there is not much food about, only one of the chicks usually survives.

When the chicks are four weeks old they join a crèche of other juvenile penguins for safety and protection. After about sixty days in the crèche, the majority of penguins become independent.

News of Berlusconi once again slipped into the financial section

This is from CNBC:

European shares quickly cut their earlier gains to end mixed after a projection by Italian TV showed the center-right party, led by former leader Silvio Berlusconi, leading in elections for the Senate vote. Meanwhile, Italian state TV station RAI said none of the four main groups running in the Italian parliamentary election is likely to win a majority in the Senate. A coalition or party must win at least 158 of the 315 Senate seats to gain a majority in the upper house, which a government would need to pass legislation.

Investors have been closely watching the outcome of the Italian election as the government’s decision over the next few months could influence whether Europe can stem its financial crisis. Italy is the euro zone’s third largest economy.

Once again I am reminded of one of my favourite Scott Sumner quotes:

I once read all the New York Times from the 1930s (on microfilm.)  You can’t even imagine how frustrating it was.  They knew they had a big problem.  Then knew that deflation had badly hurt the economy (including the capitalists.)  They knew that monetary policy could reflate.  And yet . . .

Weeks went by, then months, then years.  Somehow they never connected the dots.

“Monetary policy is already highly stimulative.”

“There’s a danger we’d overshoot toward too much inflation.”

“Maybe the problems are structural.”

“There are green shoots, things are getting worse at a slower pace.  The economy needs to heal itself.”

“Consumer demand is saturated.  Even workingmen can now afford iceboxes and automobiles.  We produced too much stuff in the 1920s.”

And the worst part was the way political news kept slipping into the financial section.  Nazis make ominous gains in the 1932 German elections, Spanish Civil War, etc, etc.  In the 1930s the readers didn’t know what came next—but I did.

Last time I used Scott’s quote I wrote the following, which I think is pretty telling of today’s markets:

Since August-September the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan the have moved in the direction of easing monetary policy and a significantly more ruled basked monetary policy and even the ECB has eased up with ECB chief Draghi’s promising to do “whatever it takes” to save the euro. And Mark Carney has given investors hope that the Bank of England will move towards some form of NGDP level targeting. As a result the “euro crisis” has more or less disappeared from the headlines in the newspapers’ “financial section” (just take a look at what Google trends has to say).

Hence, it seems pretty clear that the markets’ “responsiveness” to political worries is a function of the tightness of global monetary conditions with tighter monetary conditions leading to a bigger impact of political jitters.

The Fed – and every other central bank in the world – can effectively protect the US economy from negative spill-over from the European political jitters by introducing a proper monetary target – preferably an NGDP level target (the Bernanke-Evans rule already helps a lot).

    Lars, I was looking at the markets 15 minutes ago and that same quote popped into my head – was coming here to post it, but lo and behold, you have a full post! What do you think are the odds that some members of the Eurozone will eventually throw off the “Euro fetters”?

    • Ravi…great minds think alike (you and Scott that is…)

      The euro zone has the advantage that you can print more euros – would can’t print gold and that was the problem for the ‘gold bloc’. Unfortunately it seems like European policy makers at the moment are doing everything possible to repeat the mistakes of the 1930s. For now, however, monetary easing from the fed, BoJ and BoE will seriously reducing the short-term “explosion” in the euro zone, but I fear for the day when the ‘rest of the world’ is back to ‘normal’ and starts tigthening monetary policy – that could be the infliction point for the euro zone. Hopefully the breathing space the euro zone has now will be used by policy makers to finally get Europe out of the crisis.

     /  February 25, 2013

    I’ve been wondering though.. while I certainly hope and believe that easing from Fed, BoJ and BoE will pull those respective economies ahead, then surely there will be cries from within the Eurozone (or perhaps European cousins like the Polish and the Czechs who have been timid so far) to do their own easing . Then the fireworks may start!
