Can't remember what flower this is, but it's pretty and blooming! It creeps and tumbles over the edge of my garden.
Edit: It's a calibrachoa which is supposed to be hardy to zone 9.

I'm zone 6a/b... I guess the mild winter and being close to the house?
OOOr I'm a doofus and got overly excited peering at old labels in the shed...

It's actually Sandwort - Arenaria montana

A new testing method makes for a clearer picture of the microbiome on the ISS. Lots of things there, nothing super surprising. It matches fairly closely to a gym or hospital. Important for long term space travel! microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
If you'd rather read something less technical, this is a decent breakdown of the paper without the "OMG DANGEROUS GERMS" I'm seeing on a lot of other articles. The most troubling finding here is the bacteria that can create biofilms and clog machinery.

Just ignore the STILL over-sensational headline.

Data is good, things are complex, fees are better than bans. Lede is a bit misleading.

Related: Ireland charges 22 cents for each plastic bag. It has worked out well.

“As a result of the 15 cent fee (raised to 22 cent in 2007), annual bag usage dropped from almost 350 to 14 per person by 2012, and plastic bags now account for only 0.14 percent of total litter"

It's warming up, which means bugs and critter photos! Rescued this handsome lady Phiddipus audax (Bold Jumping Spider) from the bathroom. She probably overwintered in my indoor plants, and is now happily munching bugs in the garden. Definitely at least a full year old.
When young, they have orange/rusty markings, that fade to white as they age. Females get bigger than males, up to the 3/4" that this one was. The Phiddipus genus is known for being larger, and having the lovely metallic chelicerae you can see, in her case, green.
They tend to like the broadleaf plants, I think she was living in my clivia this winter. In my yard they are especially fond of the butterfly weed/milkweed though I also find them in my beans and tomatoes.

They spin webs only as anchor lines and to protect their eggs.

Remember when Peter Fonda tweeted that he wanted to 'rip Barron Trump from his mother' and put him in a 'cage with pedophiles'???

Where were the Democrats then?
Remember when Kathy Griffin took a photo of a bloody decapitated Trump head?

Where were the Democrats then?
Remember when Congressmen Steve Scalise was shot at a baseball game by a Bernie Sanders supporter?

#Remember
In Deuteronomy 8, Moses gave a very powerful speech. It was actually a Message. Moses told the children of Israel, and us by extension, in verse 2 to 'remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee'. #Remember
The greatest crime anyone of us will commit is to forget. We must #Remember all the way we were brought through because if we don't, we will misbehave and if we misbehave, we will suffer the consequences.

Statistics on #FarmMurders and #FarmAttacks were released by the South African government for the first time since 2011, confirming an average of 510 attacks and 56 murders per year, that is more than one per week.
Farmers are being slaughtered in the most horrific, inhumane, sadistic, barbaric ways. They are tortured until they die, women raped for hours on end while their husband's are forced to watch, their heads are crushed and they are set alight.
#FarmMurders
>Tortured with electrical drills
>Finger nails pulled out
>Hands removed from bodies
>Drowned in boiling hot water
Torture which would have earned applause from Spanish Inquisition Torturers. ISIS style atrocities.

 A lot of chatter on my TL about the #edge in #OptionsTrading, specifically #OptionSelling.
A lot of good information but some mis-information being spread as well.

A #thread.
2/n
 First off, #OptionSelling by itself is NOT an edge.

Simply by selling an instrument that decays in value over time, doesn't give one an edge towards profit. It is accompanied by short gamma and rising #volatility working "against" you.

#OptionsTrading
3/n
 The #volatility #edge or premium expresses itself when the underlying moves "less" than the move that is priced in the options.

#b Excellence is overrated, competence is underrated.
Competence is knowing what to do in a situation and how to do it. It is not the same as excellence.
Excellence is dependent on other people, like judges, examiners, teachers, assessors, inspectors, auditors. But we can't control these people and whether they think we're excellent or not.

#b 'Teknik menjawab' is not a series of rituals that you carry out to secure an A in the exam. You don't get guaranteed an A just through superficial actions like highlighting keywords or drawing meniscus or inserting isi tersirat.
The problem is students and teachers treat teknik menjawab as some sort of pseudo magical ritualistic gestures that will bring a certain outcome. Draw a pentagram, slaughter a chicken, and your wish will be granted.
Some remote Pacific Islanders in 1940s came in contact with Allied and Japanese soldiers who were more technologically advanced and thought the soldiers were gods who had many "cargo" (canned food, electronics, modern stuff)
