    Just seems to be lacking the necessary randomness to be concerned about.

  6. I'll tell her, thank you! :)

    I had zero input on her decisions but she is developing an understanding of complex systems that will be formidable some day.

    Maybe she can teach me options when she gets there ;)

    This study would not be a surprise to those who spot patterns. In this case we went from a "scientific consensus" about cholesterol being bad, to a belief there is good and bad cholesterol to our current understanding that Cholesterol may not be the cause of heart disease

    Now there is true debate because open minded people understand there was or is a lack of science backing the all the alarmist claims.

    Their findings, published in the Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology, suggest the drugs won't treat heart disease, as they say high bad cholesterol levels don't necessarily lead to heart disease.

    The 17 physicians from across the world appear to have dispelled the theory that there are links between having high LDL-C levels - known as bad cholesterol - and fatty deposits that clog arteries.

    Nike's Kaepernick ad spurs spike in sold-out items
    3 Min Read
    (Reuters) - Nike Inc (NKE.N) has sold out 61 percent more merchandise since the controversial ad campaign featuring former NFL player Colin Kaepernick appeared earlier this month, according to data on the company’s online sales from Thomson Reuters Proprietary Research.
    Kaepernick, who sparked a national controversy by kneeling during the national anthem, first tweeted the ad on the Labor Day weekend, which immediately sparked demands for a boycott of the company’s products.
    President Donald Trump also tweeted, without providing evidence, that “Nike is getting absolutely killed with anger and boycotts”.
    But the research by Thomson Reuters, conducted in collaboration with StyleSage Co, showed here the world's largest sportswear maker sold out far more items between Sept. 3 and Sept. 13 than in the 10-day period before the ad came out.
    Nike discounted fewer products in the 10-day period after the ad and saw its Colin Kaepernick women’s jersey sell out on Sept. 17, the research also showed.
    “These strong statistics reinforce the notion that Nike is standing firm – and not just in a social context,” said Jharonne Martis, director of consumer research at Thomson Reuters.

    “They don’t need to participate in the discounting that tends to plague other retail brands.”
    Thomson Reuters is the parent company of Reuters News.
    Shares in Nike have rebounded from an initial drop when the first versions of the ad were released, hitting a record high a little over a week later.
    The stock is now up nearly 7 percent since the drop, outperforming a 1.9 percent gain for the Dow .DJI over the same period, helped by at least four analysts raising price targets ahead of first-quarter results on Sept. 25.
    Social media sentiment around the company, which dived in the immediate aftermath of the ad, also turned positive earlier this week, according to Thomson Reuters’ Eikon Social Media Monitor.
    “(Nike’s) new “Just Do It” ad campaign with Colin Kaepernick was a stroke of genius ... this premeditated move was another subtle but significant sign of Nike’s strength and confidence in its position in the marketplace,” Canaccord Genuity analyst Camilo Lyon wrote in a client note last week.
