![]() ![]() Individual competitiveness, describing an individual's general tendency to enter competitive situations ( Niederle, 2017), is a behavioral trait that is often viewed as sexually dimorphic. Those human behaviors that differ by sex are especially expected to be influenced by PAE ( Hines et al., 2015). These organizational effects of PAE are critically important for the masculinization and sexually differentiated behaviors across the lifespan ( Archer, 2006). Prenatal androgen exposure, with testosterone being the most important androgen, plays an important role in the sexual differentiation of the mammalian brain, which has an enduring influence on behavior ( Lombardo et al., 2012 Auyeung et al., 2013 Hines et al., 2015 Manning et al., 2017). Since the mid-1990s, digit ratios have attracted research attention because evidence suggests it is related to prenatal androgen exposure (PAE) ( Manning et al., 1998 Lutchmaya et al., 2004) and, hence, is often used as a noninvasive retrospective marker for PAE ( Ribeiro et al., 2016). We discuss potential reasons why digit ratio may relate differently to behaviors in specific economics experiments and to self-reported general competitiveness.ĭigit ratio (2D:4D), comparing the length of the index finger to the length of the ring finger, is a sexually dimorphic trait with males displaying, on average, a lower digit ratio than females ( Manning and Fink, 2008 Hönekopp and Watson, 2010). Hence, this study provides some robust empirical evidence for a negative association between R2D:4D and self-reported competitiveness. This relationship is especially strong for younger people. ![]() In contrast, we find a negative and statistically significant relationship between psychometric self-reported measures of competitiveness and right hand digit ratios (R2D:4D) in both studies. The correlation between behavior in the economic experiment and digit ratios of both hands is not statistically significant in either study. Our analyses are based on two independent data sets obtained from surveys and economic experiments with 461 visitors of a shopping mall (Study I) and 617 university students (Study II). We employ two related, but distinct, measures of competitiveness, namely behavioral measures obtained from economic experiments and psychometric self-reported measures. This study empirically examines the relationship between 2D:4D and individual competitiveness, a behavioral trait that is found to be sexually dimorphic. The ratio of index finger length to ring finger length (2D:4D) is considered to be a putative biomarker of prenatal androgen exposure (PAE), with previous research suggesting that 2D:4D is associated with human behaviors, especially sex-typical behaviors. 5Department of Basic Psychological Research and Research Methods, School of Psychology, University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.4RWI-Leibniz-Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung, Essen, Germany. ![]()

![]() Value investors look for bargain prices on value stocks just like bargain shoppers look to hunt for deals at the mall or on Amazon (AMZN) when a sales event is going on.īecause value stocks are typically cheap, they are considered relatively low-risk investments. The 10 stocks on this list were manually selected based on steadily rising earnings and an attractive valuation.Ī value stock is a stock that an investor or analysts believes is underpriced based on the business attributes of the underlying company. That list was then sorted by additional metrics such as forward PEG ratio to assess which stocks offered the best value. These initial metrics produced a list of 71 stocks. Companies that issued new shares are excluded, as that dilutes existing shareholders. ![]() All the companies on this list kept shares outstanding the same or reduced them. All stocks on this list have a financial health grade of “C” or higher (“A”or “B”) from Morningstar. The company must also have had positive earnings for the last four years. All the companies on this list grew earnings by at least 14% on average over the last three years, and analysts expect earnings to increase by at least 8% per year over the next five years.

Reddit’s corporate leaders seem to prefer plunging the platform into the iceberg over admitting that they charted a poor course. my favorites are: -lockable inventory slots. "It has displayed catastrophically poor judgment, poisonous disdain for the Reddit community, and a self-serving impulse to place the vanity of its officers above the interests of the platform. "I genuinely do not know if it is possible for the existing leadership to draw itself back from the brink," he said. Maharaj, meanwhile, questioned whether Reddit can, in fact, fix its relationship with mods: I can understand some of the frustration from Reddit's top brass, kinda however most of the admins I speak with seem to not be willing to speak on the topic, afraid to express their true opinion on the matter," Videlock said. ![]() "After what has said, the lies, the false starts for compromise. When asked how Reddit could restore its relationship with moderators, her answer was simple: an apology. Alternatively, I run a weekly series where I show off different mods, here is a link to the playlist Alpha 20. Videlock is reconsidering being a Reddit mod these days but said Reddit's outreach is an appreciated step in the right direction. My favorite mods to use are all the AuroraGiggleFairy mods, all the snufkin mods, enzombies (can be a little challenging) white-river-tools-of-citizenship, all the h7sb mods, and then a smattering of others. If Reddit’s corporate leaders are serious about undoing the damage wrought by their behaviour, they must address users’ legitimate grievances, rather than simply invite users to repeat their grievances in small groups. Increasing the frequency of communications without changing how the corporation responds to what it hears will not heal divisions, but widen them. That's because the problem wasn't a dearth of communication channels but, rather, corporate leadership showing consistent "contempt for the advice it has received during those communications": Akaash Maharaj, an r/equestrian mod who also participates in Reddit's Mod Council, told Ars he doesn't think the recently outlined efforts will mend broken relations on their own. ![]() ![]() ![]() Mavericks marked the beginning of Apple’s “California location” naming scheme for Mac releases. Just like Snow Leopard before it, with Mountain Lion, Apple opted to clean up and revise the existing theme as opposed to changing directions for what would be a less-impactful release of OS X. The space nerd in me likes the idea, but the execution of this one leaves dead-last on my list of favorites. Lion kept up the space theme, this time showing off the Andromeda galaxy. ![]() This starscape is still one of my favorites. The “no new features” mantra for Snow Leopard didn’t ban a new wallpaper, thankfully. The server version of Leopard server came with its own unique wallpaper that is a real treat: It ushered in the “space era” of OS X wallpapers, which was used heavily in the new Time Machine interface as well. As such, Leopard was the first version of OS X to break from the Aqua-themed wallpaper. While that may or may not be true, it is my favorite Aqua-inspired wallpaper.Ĭomplete with a revised, unified user interface and shiny new Dock, 10.5 broke the Aqua mold. Many consider Tiger to be the best “classic” version of Mac OS X. While Panther inflicted Macs everywhere with Brushed Metal, its wallpaper stayed on brand, refreshing the original 10.0 image. In my head, the trails streaking across the screen were from a set of comets. Jaguar took the same Aqua-inspired theme but added some depth and motion to things. The sweeping blue arcs and curves helped set the tone of the new Aqua interface. The first two releases of Mac OS X shared the same wallpaper.

Later Apple started including wallpapers showcasing the milky way galaxy. Initially these Mac wallpapers featured a blue aqua look to match the ‘Aqua’ UI style of older macOS. Starting from macOS 10.0 Cheetah that was released way back in 2001 all the way to the very recent macOS 10.14 Mojave, almost each of these operating system versions featured a unique desktop wallpaper that became iconic, as it was featured on all Apple marketing material and even on Mac boxes. Apple has included a different wallpaper with almost every release of Mac OS X, which is now renamed as macOS. ![]() ![]() Now, how can we tell them apart? One way is to determine their densities. They are all the same size and shape, and all of them are silver-colored. Let's say you were handed three metal balls. We can use these properties to determine the identity of unknown compounds or elements. Other examples of physical properties are malleability (the ability of a substance to be molded into thin sheets), hardness, solubility, and electrical conductivity. Intensive physical properties do not depend on the amount of material, such as boiling point, density, or temperature.Įxtensive physical properties do depend on the amount, such as mass, length, and shape. So what are these properties exactly? Physical Properties A substance can have two main types of properties: chemical and physical. Everyone has their unique properties that help us identify them. Elements and chemical compounds work the same way. How would you find them? You can identify them by things like height, hair color, and how talkative they are. Let's say you had to pick your friend out of a crowd. What are physical and chemical properties? Lastly, we'll learn the key differences between these two.We'll identify examples of each of these changes.Then we will dive into the definition of physical and chemical changes.We will look at examples of these properties and how we can utilize them to identify unknown substances.Firstly, we will define physical and chemical properties. ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() This is very similar to what the adware that Lenovo had on some of their computers was doing. That my friends is completely unacceptable. ![]() What Avast is doing is known as a “ Man In The Middle Attack” where you get in the middle of a secure connection between two parties and intercept data. Disabling the “Web Shield” allows the browser to use whatever certificate the website provides. It uses a “Avast trusted CA” certificate. When I go to Google.ca and check the certificate, I get this: I continued to dig and discovered that Avast is doing the same thing with its “Web Shield”. The second I did that, the problem went away and I confirmed that the certificates I purchased were in use. I confirmed that this was the case by disabling their “Mail Shield” feature as pictured below: If that hadn’t happened, I would not have noticed. What’s worse is that it expired around the time I left for my trip, which is why I was getting the pop ups in the first place. So the only explanation for this is that Avast Anti-Virus For Mac is substituting my certificates for its own. Now I run my own mail server and I buy certificates from Verisign. ![]() If you look at the red rectangle, the certificate is issued by “Avast untrusted CA”. When you click on “Show Certificate” you get this: I really didn’t have time to pursue it then, but since I’ve got back to Canada, I’ve looked into this and discovered a very troubling cause. That was a concern and I because I first saw this in the Dubai Airport, I thought it was their WiFi that was doing this. What it was telling me was that because I was using SSL, it could not verify the identify of my e-mail server and something else might be pretending to to be my e-mail server.
