"“Here is your medium dirty chai tea latte,” the friendly barista squawks to the customer next to me. I bristle visibly as if she’d cursed at me. My immediate physical reaction can be chalked up to a few things:\n\nIt’s six on a Monday morning and I firmly believe certain pitches and intonations should be avoided at that time.\n\nChai tea latte is redundant as anyone who grew up in a South Asian household knows. Do you call it pomme apple pie?",

"I can’t stand the smell of chai.\n\nIn my house, chai was made twice a day without fail. My mother and father engaged in the ornate artistry of permeating cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger into boiling water, whisking in milk until it turns the color of sand, with none of the sense of urgency exhibited at a Starbucks. They drank it at a temperature that I usually associate with second-degree burns.\n\nI tried my hand at making chai a few times, but my mother made it clear I had no natural knack for the endeavor. Since I never drank chai, I likely couldn’t appreciate the nuance of the extra cardamom pod or spill of sugar in the roiling pot. When I was ten, it was just one of the many ways I disappointed my mother.\n\nMy father always made the morning cup. This was controversial. A newly acquired friend who came over for a sleepover whispered to me over our morning cereal, “I can’t believe your dad is making chai for your mom. While she is in bed. And then taking it up to her while she’s in bed. That would never fly at my house.” I couldn’t tell if she was more disturbed by my mother’s behavior or my father’s. But I did sense this was a non-traditional scene in an Indian household. To my fourteen-year-old eyes, this fit our household dynamic. My devastatingly beautiful and fiery mother and my coolheaded if timid father; my mom the spice, my father the milk.\n\nMy mother made the weekday afternoon cup of chai and drank it alone. My father would be at work, while as a homemaker my mother had her afternoons for her quiet savor. I would come back from school to the redolence of chai still hanging low in the air, like my mother’s presence. At twelve, I wished to come home and find both absent. I wanted to read fashion magazines, talk to boys, and talk about them with my girlfriends. Instead, with my mother home, I knew I had to do my homework, after which I could go play with my friends only until it got dark. And talking to boys was out of the question. After all, the neighborhood ladies were watching. And I knew I had to make my mom proud. Or at least not give her any reason to be ashamed. I had to be good, smart, and virtuous. The weight of her edicts blanketed me like the dense and pungent aroma of her favorite beverage. The spice in the chai, that’s my mother.\n\nWhy is a smell so closely associated with my childhood so discomforting to me? Shouldn’t I find the familiarity of the smell, the making of chai, grounding? At fifteen, having immigrated from India to the United States, I didn’t appreciate that my parents still clung on to their daily chai ritual, like they did so many other traditions. To them, it was an homage to home. To me, it was making my life difficult. This was before golden lattes were the latest health craze. The white kids in North Carolinian suburbia, who already looked at me like I was out of place, weren’t going home to the smells of cardamom and ginger. They went home to the clean smells of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches – the smell of freedom and fitting in. And at a time when belonging seemed more important than comfort, my parent’s unswaying and painfully ethnic routines felt more like a bear trap than a lily pad.\n\nAt nineteen, I took a one-way trip from home, and never turned back. Cities, countries, continents – I traversed all the boundaries that would help me shed the smell of home. The edicts, the what-would-so-and-so-think; I wiped hard at any reminders of home that lingered. I needed a fresh scent. I became a coffee drinker, which I could never once try at home. Coffee tasted like adventure; its bitterness fortified me. I drank coffee in Turkey, in Austria, in Sri Lanka, in Italy and everywhere else I could. I was out in the world, I could drink coffee, and I could be anything I wanted to be.\n\nBut no one tells you freedom isn’t truly free. It asks for something in return. Without the traditions I begrudged my parents, I was like a kite without a string, floating transiently with no sense of direction or cause. Out in the world, with no whiff of home on me anymore, I was lost. “Be careful what you wish for, because you will get it,” my mother once told me. I had wanted to shrug off any scent of comfort, culture, and connection so badly, but what was left of me then? I could do whatever I wanted to do. But what did I want to do?\n\nAt twenty-five, I looked for partners who would travel the world with me. From the beaches of Nicaragua to the castles of Scotland and everywhere in between, we hiked mountains and went deep sea diving, stopping for coffee in between. But now scentless, I was lost in the scent of others. I had fought so hard to leave my anchors behind, in mortal fear of being weighed down, that I found myself at sea, on a dinghy, waiting for a rescuer. Again, I had gotten what I had wished for. These partners, these co-adventures, these rescuers, travelled the world with me, but when we were home, on the couch, sharing a morning cup, or really doing nothing at all, we didn’t know who we were to each other. I didn’t know who I was to myself.\n\nEven while the smell of chai is one I have yet to love, when I go home these days, I find something comforting about the ceremony. My father, now retired, also makes the afternoon cup that he takes over to my mother as she sits on the timeworn grey couch in our living room. My diplomas from college and graduate school bedazzle the wall behind her. Her beauty lingers behind creases on her forehead and neck that have stayed behind even as her overbearing worry about securing my future has dissipated. My father settles into the chocolate-hued grandfather chair next to her. Our dog, knowing the ritual as well as them, waits to find his place in my father’s lap. They sit in silence for the most part, other than a few exchanges about things mundane to my ear.\n\nI wonder how much of their thirty-seven-year marriage was fostered by the intimacy of this simple routine amidst the chaos of their immigrant lives raising two children. I now find it beautiful the way my father always makes the chai for my mother, a small gesture for the ways she put her life on hold so he could have a career, and his children could have a present mother. The piquant aroma of chai drifts over to me, offending my nose, but I ignore it in favor of the sight of my parents, healthy and together, savoring the spices of their childhood as they hold them in their hands a thousand miles away from home. Maybe I was in the cup too, the tea leaves that inked through the water, nothing on their own, but with the spices and the milk, they made a tasty cup.",

"The internet has been buzzing with rumors that high level VIP members of the Deep State (aka Cabal/Illuminati/Global Elite) are being detained for human rights abuses and corruption, and are being taken by U.S. Special Forces to military prison at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base (Gitmo) as a result of thousands of sealed indictments. Multiple sources have been reporting on some of the key VIP figures taken there.\n\nWhile these are still only rumors, recent events point to their plausibility. If accurate, these secret investigations, arrests and extractions to Gitmo where they face extended detention and military justice has enormous political implications, and makes possible the release of suppressed information previously withheld by the Deep State.\n\nOne source of such rumors comes from David Todeschini, a former USAF veteran who wrote an expose about covert operations during the Vietnam War. He describes what he learned from a reliable FBI source about recent events at Guantanamo in a December 24, 2017 Youtube video, which he summarized as follows:\n\nHigh-level confidential sources tell this reporter that the U.S. Military prison at Guantanamo Bay has been alerted to expect high-profile prisoners shortly – possibly as a result of over 10,000 Sealed FEDERAL indictments. 1,000 Marines accompanied General Mattis to Gitmo to provide security for “special prisoners”.…\n\nAnother source for secret extractions to GITMO via sealed indictments is veteran journalist Dr. Jerome Corsi who tweeted:\n\n#QAnon #Qanon8chan Something is happening at GITMO — flight records being shared on Subreddit post CBTS_stream HERE: https://t.co/3CnO7GpczZ Related to @realDonaldTrump executive order regarding confiscation of assets for those involved with human rights abuses\n\nA third source is Brenden Dilley, a radio host running for the US Congress, who received information from another anonymous whistleblower who has a track record for reliability. The whistleblower’s information appeared in a December 27 post that was mistakenly attributed to QAnon [see update below for discussion of misattribution to QAnon] The post refers to recent VIP arrivals at Gitmo discussion:\n\nWhat is worth emphasizing in the above post is that new residents began arriving at Gitmo on December 26, 2017, and more were expected. This was after President Trump had issued his Executive Order on December 21 declaring a “national emergency” in response to human rights abuses and corruption anywhere around the world.\n\nFinally, we have former Forbes Magazine correspondent, Benjamin Fulford, who wrote on January 1, 2018:\n\nIn a historic moment of poetic justice, most of the U.S.-based top perpetrators of the fake “war on terror” have now themselves been renditioned to the U.S. Navy camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Pentagon sources say. “The Rothschild assets George Soros, Peter Munk, Peter Sutherland, the Bushes, the Podestas, and many others may have been airlifted to Gitmo for military tribunals, as the Department of Defense spends $500M to upgrade the prison and send more military police and Marines,” the sources say.\n\nWhat can be distilled from these independent sources is that high level Deep State members, many of whom are part of a Pedophile Satanic global network, are being detained by U.S. Special Forces and taken to Gitmo where they are to be held indefinitely, while military justice is applied to their cases. In the process, Gitmo’s holding facilities are being significantly upgraded with expansions and more guards to accommodate an infusion of VIP prisoners.\n\nAmong the first to refer to U.S. Special Forces being used to investigate and detain Deep State figures under the authority of sealed indictments was Secret Space Program whistleblower Corey Goode. He referred to such military investigations back on August 9, 2017 after being briefed by a source he described as retired FBI and career military:\n\n[T]here were teams of US Special Forces that were conducting “domestic surveillance and investigations of a Satanic group that had infiltrated all aspects of government agencies and the military. These Special Forces teams have been in place since the middle of the election cycle…. I was informed that a secret report on how pervasive these infiltrations are is more shocking than what was expected. Strangely, this report also had notes from several secret grand juries that are active right now in D.C.\n\nThe report states that the conspiracy involves the majority of powerful people in within the UN, EU, US, State and local (City) power structures. These government organization are completely complicit in what is going on. All the way down to local Post Offices and Police Offices.\n\nMore recently, Goode says that his sources have told him that Gitmo is being upgraded to host VIP detainees, and includes wheelchair access for some of them, who are being detained by Special Forces working around the globe He explained in a November 5 communication with best selling author David Wilcock:\n\nSecret Grand Juries were almost totally complete with their investigations when everything changed. They had sealed indictments being prepared when they received a cache of new info that gave them a wider net to cast.\n\nTheir investigation has since expanded dramatically. So much about the plans of a coup is known about by the Cabal that I don’t know how much longer the Alliance can wait to act and prevent the Cabal from sneaking out of the country.\n\nSome of the really bad ones have already left. Our SF [Special Forces] teams are planning on going in to some of these countries that are hiding these Cabal members and taking them by force.\n\nAre such claims true? In scrutinizing public records what is known fact is that James Mattis, Secretary of Defense, did visit Gitmo on December 21 becoming the first Secretary of Defense to do so since 2002. It was the same day that Trump issued his “Executive Order Blocking the Property of Persons Involved in Serious Human Rights Abuse or Corruption”, where he declared:\n\nI therefore determine that serious human rights abuse and corruption around the world constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat.\n\nThe timing suggests that this was more than coincidence, and raised a possible link between Mattis’ visit and the Executive Order. Such a link is strengthened by an earlier visit to Gitmo in July 2017 by Attorney General Jeff Sessions who called Gitmo:\n\na “perfectly acceptable” place to detain new terrorist suspects, as opposed to holding them in the US and having his own Justice Department try them in civilian courts.\n\nIt is quite feasible that Gitmo would be used to house detainees under Trump’s Executive Order. They could be treated similarly to terrorists under the Executive Order’s “national emergency” which delegated authority to any US agency capable of enforcing the Order’s primary function of cutting off the financial assets of targeted individuals and groups:\n\nSec. 8. … The Secretary of the Treasury may, consistent with applicable law, redelegate any of these functions to other officers and agencies of the United States. All agencies shall take all appropriate measures within their authority to implement this order.\n\nConsequently, Trump’s Executive Order provided a firm legal foundation for U.S. Special Forces to physically detain targeted individuals in the U.S. mainland and anywhere around the planet, and have them relocated to Gitmo when necessary.\n\nMilitary law rather than US domestic law would apply those detained by U.S. Special Forces acting under the authority of Sealed Indictments and the December 21, Executive Order. This would be powerful leverage that could be used to gain confessions and cooperation from lower level Deep State operatives against their superiors who are being taken to Gitmo.\n\nAnother pertinent fact is that Todeschini claims that 1000 marines accompanied Mattis and will remain to provide special security for the VIP prisoners. Similarly, Fulford refers to both Marines and National Guard military police being taken to Gitmo.\n\nAs far as USMC personnel being taken to Gitmo, a Miami Herald news story refers to a proposed upgrade at Gitmo that includes barracks for 848 prison troops to be ready in four years. This is very close to the alleged 1000 marines that Todeschini (and Fulford) claim have been sent there to guard the VIP prisoners.\n\nA Department of Defense Report cited in a May 24, 2016 US Congressional statement, described the peak prison population at Gitmo was 684 prisoners in June of 2003, and this had been reduced to about 80 by 2016. More recent estimates of the Gitmo prison population is roughly 40 Islamic terrorists\n\nThe Miami Herald story from August 21, 2017 revealed that the Trump administration was planning to spend up to $500 million on upgrading Gitmo facilities. This included a Navy proposal to build a five bed hospital at a total cost of $250 million.\n\nThe fact that a five bed hospital is to be built at such significant cost does suggest that Trump plans to significantly expand the number of prisoners at Gitmo. These would not be suspected Islamic terrorists, however, but VIP prisoners behind international human rights abuses and corruption who will not be allowed medical treatment on the U.S. mainland.\n\nFinally, we arrive at the key claim that thousands of sealed indictments have been prepared which have been used to authorize the detention and extraction of Deep State personnel. The Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system was scrutinized to confirm the existence of 4289 sealed Federal indictments by November 22, 2017, according to former FBI agent Hal Turner.\n\nMore recently, sources claim that this has risen to over 9000 sealed indictments as of December 24, 2017. This figure has not yet been substantiated, but it would be reasonable to conclude that the November figure may have significantly increased during December.\n\nIn conclusion, there is compelling evidence to support claims that leading figures from a Deep State international network of VIPs that are involved in child trafficking, human rights abuses, corruption and Satanic rituals are being investigated, detained and extracted to Gitmo via sealed indictments enforced by U.S. Special Forces.\n\nThe implications of these unfolding events for disclosure of classified technologies related to secret space programs, Antarctic bases hidden under the ice sheets and extraterrestrial life, all previously suppressed by the Deep State, are profound.",
null,
"There is grounds for cautious optimism that the prospects of “full disclosure” will substantially increase as more corrupt Deep State officials are taken to Gitmo. Their removal from powerful global leadership positions will help greatly in ending their decades-long policies of denying the rest of humanity the benefits of advanced technologies that will revolutionize life all over the planet.\n\n[Update, Jan 3, 2018: I received the following comment on my Facebook page about an alleged Q post on December 27, 2017. The commenter, Ann Schrock says that it is a misattribution since Q Anon has not posted since Dec 25. She says she transcribed the anonymous source for the December 27 quote and wrote:\n\n“That info came from a ‘source’ who has/had been feeding Brenden Dilley, who was doing a Periscope on his personal twitter page. I watched and transcribed as I listened. I have no idea if this info is true, I simply wrote what I heard. It is for you to keep in mind…or don’t.”\n\nAnn Schrock posted additional material which can be read here. While there is reason to believe the Brendan Dilley source is legitimate, the December 27 post was misattributed to QAnon. I have henceforth corrected the article and added this update to clarify the situation. Thanks to Ann Schrock for pointing out the error. M.S.]",

"A Strategy For Stock Hunters\n\nOnce the decision has been made to look to stock markets as a place for investment dollars, all retail investors face the same choice – decide for yourself what individual stocks in which to invest or delegate the decision to others. The latter option does involve some research and decision making choosing exchange traded or mutual funds, but once done, research becomes a matter of keeping up to date.\n\nFund investing lets retailers diversify their investment dollars into a “basket of stocks” with all sharing some common criteria, such as sector, country, size, or dividend payments. Those who take the time to research thoroughly know the trade-off between fund investing and choosing your own stocks is reduced risk and reduced rewards. In any basket of stocks some will outperform, and others will underperform, lowering the overall rate of return on one’s investment dollar, but with less risk of losing much of that investment.\n\nInvestors who pick or “hunt” for their own stocks can choose to build a portfolio of high potential performers, assuming they are willing to accept the risk. Stock picking is not for the faint of heart nor for those who lack the time and talent required to wade through the wealth of information available in the modern investing climate. Uppermost in the minds of many retail investors engaging in this quest is where do I go for investment ideas.\n\nDepending on one’s investment approach, following the fortunes of stocks outperforming can be a solid strategy. A corollary to this approach is to spot those outperformers operating in markets with substantial growth potential and look for other companies operating in the sector, sometimes with complementary product offerings.\n\nAs a case in point, let’s look at two of the best performing stocks on the ASX over the last decade, oddly enough with neither headquartered here in Australia.\n\nBoth companies have been market-beaters over the last decade, with share price increases exceeding 500%. The following price performance chart is from the Reuters financial website.\n\nOn measures of major importance to most investors – rates of return – both companies have turned in outstanding rewards for their long-term investors.\n\nThe strategy employed by some investors is to focus on the broader growth potential of the market where these performers operate – respiratory diseases. Both treat a niche in that broader world – sleep apnea, but there are others providing differing products and services. COPD does not generate the kind of attention in the information world of today as does heart disease and cancer, but many would be shocked to learn COPD is the third largest killer on the planet, and of the top ten causes of death, four are respiratory-related.\n\nThe following graph comes from a 2018 WHO (World Health Organization) Report. The report states of the 56.9 million deaths occurring in 2016, 54% came as a result of these top ten causes.",

"Regular investors in the healthcare sector know that diagnostic device stocks face fewer regulatory approval hurdles than treatment stocks. In addition, diagnostic devices have larger pools of potential users than those in need of specific forms of treatment.\n\nOnly two of these companies are generating minimal revenue and not yet profitable, making short term debt an investor concern. The current ratio measures the company’s ability to cover its short-term obligations should setbacks force lenders to call their loans or other unforeseen occurrences cut into the company’s ability to meet its short-term debt repayments. A ratio above 1.5% is considered safe.\n\nResApp Health Limited (RAP) is developing smartphone apps to diagnose respiratory diseases. Using machine learning algorithms (artificial intelligence), the app can analyse a cough to provide both a diagnosis and the severity of the condition.",

"On 29 March the company came out with two announcements that should pique investor interest.\n\nFirst, ResApp has contracted with a UK-based consultancy to work with OSI Electronics, a medical device manufacturer in the UK, to incorporate ResApp artificial intelligence apps into wearables and other hardware devices.\n\nSecond, the company is in the final stages of reviewing its De Novo submission to the US FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for ResAppDx-US, a mobile software application for the diagnosis of paediatric respiratory disease using cough sounds.\n\nA De Novo submission is a special classification used by the FDA for “novel” devices – those low risk devices with no comparable device on the market. The company is not yet generating revenue. ResApp has an OUTPERFORM rating from one analyst, according to Reuters, as does the next stock in our table — Pharmaxis Limited (PXS).\n\nThe company is diversified, with treatments for other diseases in its development pipeline following a unique business model. Pharmaxis brings a drug or treatment along through successful Phase 1 or Phase II clinical trials and then licenses the drug to a large pharmaceutical company. Its first such deal came in 2015 with Pharmaxis licensing an anti-inflammatory drug candidate to global pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim. That company conducted two Phase 2A trials in 2017 using the Pharmaxis drug candidate for treatment of NASH (a type of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease or NAFLD) and diabetic retinopathy, netting Pharmaxis licensing payments of $AUD27 million dollars and AUD$15 million dollars. The company is generating revenue and posted a modest profit of $6.4 million dollars in FY 2018.\n\nTiny Adherium Limited (ADR) listed on the ASX in August of 2015 to great fanfare and opened trading at $0.55, 10% above its issue price, closing at $0.55 and it has been all downhill since.\n\nAdherium got out of the gate with a long-term supply and development agreement with global biopharmaceutical company AstraZeneca for its Smartinhaler platform. The platform could be configured to work with existing treatment devices for asthma and COPD to monitor and improve disease management. Adherence to a treatment schedule is a common problem in healthcare, one addressed by Smartinhaler.\n\nShortly after listing the company announced the findings of three clinical studies demonstrating the positive effect of using the Smartinhaler in paediatric asthma treatments. Despite a stream of positive news surrounding the efficacy of Smartinhaler Adherium’s financial performance lagged and so did the stock price.\n\nThe Full Year 2017 Financial Results Report was filled with positive news about the continuing relationship with AstraZeneca and entry into new markets, but despite a small revenue increase, losses increased 103%.\n\nThe latest financial results released were for the Half Year 2019 and continued the pain for investors, with revenues dropping 63% and losses increasing 74%. However, the innovative technology developed by this digital health company may be on the verge of paying off.\n\nAdherium has rebranded Smartinhaler into the Hailie™ sensor, approved for over the counter (OTC) sales in the US.

"I went to the store for a couple of items to make cupcakes. I ran in, grabbed the icing sugar and milk and went to the express till. In front of me was an elderly gentleman, smartly dressed but his clothes were old and tired, some seams were loose, there was a hole in his jersey, but still he’d tried. He was clearly shopping for one – one tomato, one onion, one apple, two bread rolls, half a litre of milk. My heart broke. He reminded me of my Gramps. No one should be alone at that age. He had a chocolate and a Coke, and when the till attendant rang up his items, his face dropped and he had to put the sweet stuff back. She deducted the items from his total and he just made it with barely a cent to spare. Off he went, walking slowly and carefully. It took less than 10 seconds to ring up my few items but all the while I was watching him navigate his way through the busy supermarket. It’s cold. It’s raining. I couldn’t resist. I added his items to mine and ran after him. At first he was confused when I called him and touched his arm. Then I gave him his chocolate and cooldrink. His eyes welled up. To me, it’s so insignificant, I walk into a grocery store, grab whatever I need and sometimes throw in some treats without giving it a second thought. I have enough money for it, I’ve never had to put any items back. It dawned on me that a lot of people aren’t in that position, especially in South Africa where poverty is an overwhelming crisis. So how could I not brighten his day? At first he resisted but then I explained that he had to accept them because I don’t eat raisins, which the chocolate contained, nor do I drink fizzy drinks. To me, it’s no biggie, but to him, it was a special moment. He thanked me profusely but the feeling I got seeing his face light up was quite possibly better, warmer, than his. One doesn’t have to buy someone something. It can be a smile, carrying someone’s heavy packets or simply acknowledging other people. After all, isn’t that what we all want? To be recognised, to be treated as important human beings? It takes such a small act to have a profound impact on another. That’s why I decided to use this week’s Words Crush Wednesday quote. Be kind to others, for the reward is often greater than the simple act carried out.",

"Minecraft Dungeons, the latest installment in the ongoing phenomenon that is Minecraft, has finally arrived. I probably would have written this review earlier, but that would have required me to stop playing it. Minecraft Dungeons takes the setting of Minecraft and plops it right inside a Diablo style action RPG. My kids and I have spent countless hours leveling our characters and we’ve been having a blast. Minecraft Dungeons doesn’t break the action-RPG mold in any way, but what it does provide is some much-needed dungeon crawling delight for Minecraft fans and acts as a type of introduction to action RPG’s for younger players. If you have kids, this is a must-buy. They will be comparing the item levels of their gear and destroying waves of mobs like champs in no time. You’ll probably end up becoming addicted to it like myself in the process.\n\nMinecraft Dungeons is a 1-4 player experience that has you travelling through different locales like swamps or desert temples in an attempt to thwart the misguided and outcast Arch-Illager. The small Illager was pushed away by his kind, so he has decided to wreak havoc on those that have done him wrong and rule over the land. All the Minecraft enemies are here including Zombies, Skeleton Archers, Spiders, Endermen, Golems… you name it. They look great and perform their usual attacks and animations. Creepers will explode if they are not disposed of when they come within range and Witches will throw poisonous potions at you from afar that will deal damage over time if you’re not careful.\n\nWhile the game retains the core DNA of any isometric dungeon crawler where you battle hordes of enemies and loot, what sets Minecraft Dungeons apart is the way character progression works. You aren’t tied down to a specific class from the moment you press start, it’s what weapons you equip that dictate how you’ll fight. Each character can equip a wide variety of melee weapons, armor, and ranged weapons. There are also three item slots available for Artifacts. These Artifacts can be mushrooms that provide you with a damage/attack speed boost or a piece of straw that can summon a llama to assist you by spitting on enemies. Most of the time I would just take the gear with the higher power (item) level to replace, but at max character level you can really start to mess around with the different gear to better suit your play style. Once you find the proper combination where you can use them all in sync to perform some devastating damage, that’s where the fun kicks in. As far as I can tell there isn’t a level cap (there’s a trophy/achievement for level 50, but I’m currently 57), so as long as you keep pushing your level, you’ll still gain experience to earn Enchantment points to place in your weapons.\n\nYour weapons and armor can each be enchanted to enable different perks. Depending what type of rarity your gear is (Common, Rare or Unique) you can have up to three different enchantments on any one piece of gear (so you could technically have nine enchants on your character at once) . Just some of the enchants I’ll mention here include increased damage, slowing enemy movement when you attack, or causing enemies to literally explode and cause damage to other enemies once you’ve defeated them. The freedom here is a welcome change. How you build your character is entirely up to you.\n\nCombat is fairly basic. You can perform close-range melee combos and shoot a ranged weapon from afar. There’s a dodge and potion that both have cooldowns, and Artifacts are assigned to three buttons that can be swapped between each other. We spent most of our time playing on PS4 and the controls handle very well for console. My son did end up getting Xbox Game Pass and has played it on both Xbox & PC and he prefers PC. Everything works well so it really only comes down to a matter of preference as to which console you want to play it on. If you want that classic Diablo click-fest experience, I’d say go PC. If you’re on Xbox, you can pick up on Game Pass for $1 right now and have access to the full game. If you’re looking to purchase it to keep though, there are two versions of the game. There’s the Regular and Hero Edition. The Hero Edition will set you back a bit more (roughly $10), but I say spend the extra money. You will get some extra cosmetics and you will have access to two DLC packs once they become available. If you did pick up the Regular, there is a Hero Pass available separately that will give you access to everything that’s included with the Hero Edition.\n\nIn terms of how much game you’ll get out of Minecraft Dungeons it’s pretty short if you’re only going to play through it once. Our first play through on Default difficulty took around five hours to complete. As with other dungeon crawlers though, what will keep you coming back is the new difficulties you unlock after completing the game on the Default difficulty. There is Adventurous, which provides a medium challenge. The last one you’ll unlock is Apocalypse (this is the one we’re making our way through). With these new difficulties you will discover more powerful items to help you progress. Progression feels fair and ramps up at a reasonable pace. Each level also includes a 1-6 difficulty slider, so the goal is to be able to run everything at Apocalypse 6 to push yourself to the limit. If you play at the appropriate power levels though, you will never feel overwhelmed.\n\nDespite the simple gameplay, Minecraft Dungeons is just a great dungeon crawling experience. Seasoned players will blast through the game quickly, but if you love Minecraft or have kids like myself, you will find yourself getting lost in this world for hours on end slaying zombies and creepers galore. – NVJ"

"Nickerson returns to his roots with Windham Singers\n\nA lot has changed since that time. Gone is the open school concept, replaced with classrooms with walls, doors and windows. Larry Hutchinson was the music teacher at the time. Nickerson took piano lessons from the late Pat Flemington and had vocal lessons from the late Gladys Tarbell. He was active in the Houlton High school musicals with director, Mark Scally.\n\nFrom Houlton, Nickerson, son of Ted and the late Jan Nickerson, went on to the University of Maine to receive a bachelor’s degree in vocal music education, followed by a Masters of music in choral conducting. He later received the Doctor of Musical Arts degree in choral conducting from the Conservatory of Music at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.\n\nNickerson has been the director of choral activities at Windham High School in Windham for the past 31 years. In addition to his duties there, he is minister of music at North Windham Union Church.\n\nIn constant demand as a guest conductor and clinician, he has made guest appearances in 18 states, four Canadian provinces and eight European countries. He has conducted in major concert venues throughout the world, making his Carnegie Hall debut in 1998. He returned to Carnegie Hall in 2016 to conduct a festival choir made up of singers from Maine.\n\nNickerson has received several awards including: Maine Music Educator of the Year, Maine Distinguished Choral Director of the year and runner up for the Maine Teacher of the year.\n\nIn January 2009, he was recognized by Choral Director Magazine as one of the ten “Choral Director of Note” in the United States. In 2017, he was named as a top ten finalist for the Music Educator Grammy Award.\n\nAs director of the Windham Chamber Singers he gained international attention in 1996 by winning the Prize of Vienna at the 25th International Youth and Music Festival in Vienna, Austria. Since then they have captured the hearts of audiences everywhere. Their accomplishments have been recognized on the NBC nightly news and National Public Radio. They have appeared on CBS This Morning and the Today Show. They have performed at Carnegie Hall, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Notre Dame Basilica and the White House.\n\nThe choir has released five CDs on the Pine Point label and have appeared on numerous other recordings. Each year the choir tours the northeast, presenting assemblies and workshops in area schools in addition to public concerts.\n\nNickerson returned to the elementary school on April 5, bringing the cast of 34 Windham Chamber Singers to perform for the school and to experience a trip to the County. He was excited to be back in his hometown and to share childhood stories with his students. That evening they performed at the Church of the Good Shepherd on Main Street.\n\nFred Grant, owner of the local radio station WHOU live streamed the concert, which was very much appreciated by Nickerson and his choral members.\n\nNickerson said, “I hope Houlton realizes what an asset this radio station is.”\n\nEach day before Nickerson begins his school day he listens to the morning show with Chris Putnam.\n\n“To have the ability to watch the basketball games and other events happening in the Shiretown is much appreciated by folks that live away,” said Nickerson.\n\nFor several members of the choir, it meant that family members could see their performance. One dad was out on a ship, while a foreign exchange student’s family was watching from Italy.\n\nMore than 300 students enjoyed the concert at Houlton Elementary School where Nickerson visited with the Thornton siblings, Cash, Waylon and Georgia whose grandmother attends Nickerson’s church in Windham.\n\nWhile in the area they also toured the Southern Aroostook Agricultural Museum in Littleton. Also of particular note is one of the Chamber members, Annika Johnston is the granddaughter of Rae Johnston of Littleton and daughter of Steve Johnston, formerly of the area.",

"Once, a year or so ago I was watching a History Channel presentation on cities in the U. S. and to my surprise they spoke of BURBANK!\n\nAt the end of the segment however they stated that the city was named after Luther Burbank the famous botanist!\n\nI was totally flabbergasted that a channel with History in its name made such a huge research blunder. Given that a quick internet search turns up so many links about our town, it seems to me that they never attempted to fact check such an import piece of history.\n\nSo I was thinking that we needed to clear this up once and for all on this Flashback Friday. The City of Burbank California (there are a number of other cities with the same name, ie. Burbank, Ohio) was named after a man named Dr. David Burbank.\n\nDr. Burbank was a dentist and came to California and settled for a time in San Francisco and opened up a dental practice on Montgomery Street. There is even a picture of the building with his sign in 1855.\n\nHe then decided to do a little prospecting and ended up(1866) with a large ranch where Warner Brothers back lot is today. He owned most of the property that would become the major part of Burbank today (9,200 acres).\n\nOn this ranch he raised sheep and alfalfa. For reasons unknown he gave up farming his property and rented the land to other local farmers. In 1886 Dr Burbank sold his land to the Providencia Land, Water and Development Co.\n\nOne year later on May 1,1887 the city of Burbank was formed. It would not be until 1911 that the City incorporated.\n\nDr. Burbank took his money from the sale of his property to downtown Los Angeles and built a beautiful theater that promised first rate stage productions. Alas Dr. Burbank died on January 21, 1895.\n\nHis legacy was to have given his name to our town and that it has blossomed into a wonderful community with a long a storied history which we continue to discuss here on myBurbank.com and the Website Burbankia and many books that are written about this place we call home.\n\nBelow are the many faces of Dr. Burbank. Left to right, His official city Portrait, His Prospecting days, His Wedding portrait, On an Expedition with family and friends."

"You’re scrolling through your feed. Why do you hit “like”? Is it the latest age-defying miracle treatment and a model wearing the latest and greatest? A friend from high school that you had wondered about? A meme that is perfect for your personality and professions? A family or individual living your dream? How about the cutest baby animal in the world? A National Park you follow? Is it a celebrity? Is it your favorite scripture? Or are you just mindlessly scrolling out of habit? Do you scroll with hope?\n\nI wonder what it would be like if HE walked among us today. His profile simply “King of Kings” (he has so many choices for usernames). We don’t know it, but his account will be gone one week from today.\n\nToday’s post might reach a record (next weekend’s post would shatter the record). It’s just a dusty road and ride on a donkey. And the camera could only capture a minimal number waving and laying the palms for his entrance. Well, maybe a drone would catch it all. Unmute it. Do you hear it? “Hosanna!” over and over and over. My desire to snap a selfie would be snuffed out. With my arms extended, for only praise and adoration (no autograph is needed), I gawk in awe. I’m living in the moment as other feeds suggest. There’s no FOMO happening here. Tears, with smiles, are running down the faces of the followers. He is here. He’s in town. Using a power unknown to us he will prove he’s the assured authority. Tables will turn. Eyes, hearts, and stones will roll.\n\nScroll this week (scroll scripture also). There’ll be a restoration of proper worship and authority, a meaningful meal, denials, betrayals, fear, a garden, and a guilty verdict. Some will go into hiding. A pain unlike no other will be endured by the King of Kings.\n\nIn five days, his feed will suddenly stop. It is finished. And love, not law, will cover us all. And in the meantime, some will mindlessly scroll. Beliefs will be tucked safely inside the walls of a church or in heads. Or just appear when the situation deems necessary. Staying radical for the current reality seems reasonable.\n\nThe witnesses to his magnetic and majestic mercy, falling like manna, will continue posting as he had hoped. Hosanna! (“Save us!”) is the cry heard ‘round the world. He still touches the untouchable, loves the unlovable, skillfully skunks the skeptics, and gives hope to the hopeless. He saves without sanctions.\n\nI highly recommend The Chosen TV series. This week I will watch the remainder of season 1. There is an app, The Chosen, to download (I cast it to my TV). It has been advertised on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube (where I have found fascinating behind the scenes), and I’m sure other places!\n\nThe Chosen is a television drama based on the life of Jesus Christ, created, directed and co-written by American filmmaker Dallas Jenkins. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chosen_(TV_series) It is the first multi-season series about the life of Christ, and season one was the highest crowd-funded TV series or film project of all time.[1][2] The series’ creators stated that they had hoped to distinguish the new series from previous portrayals of Jesus by crafting a multi-season, episode-based story.[3] The series portrays Jesus “through the eyes of those who met him”.[4]",

"When news broke that Johnny Depp had retained lawyer Laura Wasser in his divorce fight with Amber Heard, it was hardly a surprise. Wasser is one of the most high-powered celebrity divorce attorneys working; she was recently hired by Drew Barrymore to handle her divorce from Will Kopelman.\n\n“Everyone knows Laura,” L.A. family law attorney Atousa Saei told PEOPLE. “She is the celebrity of celebrity divorce attorneys. She has a very cool and calm demeanor.”\n\nWasser’s CV is so impressive that she’s been contacted by stars’ teams shortly after their marriage, as in the case of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline. She’s also cagey in her dealings with the press, encouraging couples – such as Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas, who worked on their divorce for a year and a half before announcing it – to nail down details privately before filing their papers.\n\nWATCH: By The Numbers: Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s Divorce\n\nAnother key piece of her strategy: Having clients announce at the same time, to split press coverage. “I’ll tell my clients, ‘I have someone else, I can’t say who, but you should really wait and file at the same time,’ ” she told Bloomberg Businessweek.\n\nSamantha Spector, who’s representing Amber Heard, is the founder and managing partner of her own firm, Spector Law, founded in 2012. She graduated from Loyola in 1999, and has appeared on Entertainment Tonight discussing family law matters.",

"In July, Unprofitable residential solar lease company Sunrun (RUN) announced that it would acquire its unprofitable competitor, Vivint Solar (VSLR). Each share of Vivint stock will be exchanged for .55 shares of Sunrun’s common stock. Sunrun indicated that there were great synergies between the two companies.\n\nThe residential solar lease and residential PPA offers little synergy for customers, other than giving away their ITC and paying much more over time for having a solar system on their roof than they would if they bought it in the first place. Companies operating in the space need the cheapest cost of hardware (not always the best), fastest installs (not always the best), to reuse equipment when customers withdraw (including inverters), and to keep on adding customers to feed the machine."

"To say Belgian odd-poppers dEUS are DiS-favourites, is a bit like asking if kittens climb christmas trees. So it's hardly a surprise that today we're posting a stream of their new album...\n\nKeep You Close is a strange listen - which is pretty predictable for a band that some might say are Europe's answer to Sonic Youth. At times, it sounds like Queens of the Stone Age chilling with a string section beside a tar pool, whilst at other points it goes full-on purple-rock raining down from on Beck's mansion, before croaking and creaking to a stop.\n\nAnyway, don't take my fanboy word for it, and block some time out of your diary this weekend and give it a blast.\n\nKeep You Close is released on Monday in mainland Europe and on October 3rd in the UK."

"The early theories of the age of the Earth.\n\nThe early theories of the age of the earth The earth is forever on the move, restless energy and planets have evolved and have life. In the past many people have tried to guess the age of the earth. However most have failed, it goes a bit like a domino, 1 important person says something, then comes along another and completely destroys the other person?s view, and it carry on until there is some agreement. The age of the earth was the same principal, it was first thought to be 6000 year old, but then someone says it is at least over a million years old with good proof, and then comes another and so on. There have been different views to the age of the earth but most people now accept that the Earth is much older and that it was formed some 4500 million years ago or more. However why do most people think this? Is it that there are so much proof around that you just have to accept the earth is that old? Geologists and scientist try and travel through time to see how old the earth is. ...read more.\n\nCalculations led to a pronouncement that in cooling to its present temperature from a molten state over a period of about 100 million years, the Earth's circumference had contracted by hundreds of miles. Despite some problems, this theory satisfied most geologists. Other geologists gave a theory that the Earth is expanding even though it was rejected by many. In 1897, Lord Kelvin assumed that the Earth was originally molten and calculated a date based on cooling through conduction and radiation. The Earth was thought to be about 25-40 million years old. However after a few years after Kelvin?s publication, Rutherford was giving a lecture at the Royal institute about his new discovery in radioactivity was going to say his theory about the age of the earth in the end of his speech, but was worried that Levin who was one of the guests was going to disagree about his theory, but was relieved to see Levin that he was asleep. Rutherford said that the Earth must be at least 70 million years old or more. He said that the earth must be definitely over 70 million years old, which means Kelvin?s theory was completely, destroyed. ...read more.\n\nSome people don?t view the scientific view because they are religious and believe what the bible and other religious people have said. Some believe that the earth was made in October 23, 4004 BC. That god made it in one day. Even the evidence we show people still won?t believe it. We have had many people telling what they believe and many have different theories some of which are completely the opposite but as the years went by we got a more accurate age of the Earth. From 6000 years to something like 4.6 billion years, it shows as the years go by our brain develops and we get a better conclusion, also using the ideas people had said. With money we get more/better technology which helps us with our observation and so it becomes more accurate. Not only do we just see the land and its cliffs, landscape and layers, we can see how old the earth is in the Ocean and seas. Also the new things we have found like the atoms, radioactivity, the minerals we have found around the world and fossils and many more. In the end we believe that the earth is 4.6 billion years old the facts are there and so whether you believe it or not that is the truth. ...read more."

"Directed by Adrian Lyne, JACOB’S LADDER (1990) is a metaphysical horror film about a man, Jacob Singer (Tim Robbins), whose existence seems to be fractured between several time frames, and perhaps different realities.\n\nWe know Jacob served in Vietnam, and we get fragmentary glimpses of he and his platoon members involved in a horrifically violent incident, but we’re not really clear who the attackers are, and who survived and who didn’t.",
null,
"What is happening to Jacob Singer?\n\nWe know also that he’s a postal worker living in Brooklyn in the 70s with a woman named Jezebel (Elizabeth Peña), and this seems most likely to be the “present” of the narrative.\n\nAnd yet we see this version of Jacob being tormented by images of a past marriage and the dead son he still yearns for. Amid the shifting layers of narrative, feelings of deep sadness and loss anchor the story.",
null,
"Elizabeth Peña is the woman who loves Jacob. Or is she?",
null,
"Danny Aiello appear as a mysteriously sympathetic chiropractor who seems to be treating something deeper than Jacob’s spinal health.",
null,
"Danny Aiello is an otherworldly chiropractor.\n\nThe thing is, it’s hard to write too much about JACOB’S LADDER without giving the game away. To appreciate it, you’ll need a high tolerance for hallucinogenic imagery and a certain amount of patience with metaphysical mysteries that are not tied up in a neat bow.",
null,
"An example of the film’s nightmarish imagery.\n\nJACOB’S LADDER is directed with tremendous sophistication and style by Lyne. It’s full of scenes that are both shocking and beautiful. And Robbins gives an appealing performance as an every man whose reality is spectacularly coming apart at the seams.\n\nIn JACOB’S LADDER’s otherworldly visions, both angelic and demonic, discerning horror fans will find much to ponder and appreciate.",

"How would starbucks respond to the mcdonald offer\n\nThe signs are that these favorite Netflix programs are going viral. In its latest annual Conquering Content study [excerpt download page], Hub Entertainment Research finds that TV viewers are becoming pickier about the This represents an overall increase of November 20, Smartphones reached a new milestone in this past quarter, declares Ooyala in its latest quarterly Global Video Index [download page].\n\nStarbucks now operates about 13, locations in the U. In the past 12 months, Starbucks has opened almost 1, new stores in the Americas, which includes the U. That growth appears to be coming at a cost for Starbucks, according to Bernstein analyst Sara Senatore.\n\nThe new stores may be cannibalizing traffic from existing stores, potentially diverting 1 out of 7 transactions, she estimated.\n\nAnd co-founder Howard Schultz, the public face of the company, said this week he would step down as executive chairman. Even so, it should be a prime time for Starbucks. Coffee drinking among Americans is at a six-year high. Some of the growth is coming from a new habit: Same-store sales, a key retail metric tracking the performance of locations open at least a year, rose 2 percent in the most recent quarterfar below the 7 percent growth recorded as recently as Return on investment for new stores is also waning, with new locations reporting ROI of about 60 percent, down from 75 percent previously, Senatore noted.\n\nThat coincides with the growth in new locations, she pointed out. The data showing slowing growth at Starbucks, among other issues, \"brings us to the question of, \"should Starbucks strategy change?\n\nThe company said Thursday prices remain unchanged on drinks such as lattes and iced coffees in most stores. The Associated Press contributed to this report.Application. I applied through an employee referral.\n\nI interviewed at Starbucks (Seattle, WA) in April Interview. 30 minute sessions with each members of the team, lots of great questions and fun activities during interviews.

"“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly.\n\nWe are what we repeatedly do. On the Starbucks website a customer can go online and search the many different types of coffee Starbucks has to offer. You can filter out which kinds of coffee you do not like and the website will show you exactly what you . For Darlington it's just the latest blow in a series of retail misfortunes: BHS went in , and McDonald's shut its High Street outlet.\n\nLast year, Starbucks closed doors on customers and TK Maxx. Starbucks wants the world to know they have more to offer than coffee and are committed to meeting the needs of society. “We’re not just passionate purveyors of coffee, but everything else that goes along with a full and rewarding coffeehouse experience.\n\nThe Starbucks Training Program - Why It is So Good!"

"I grew up in the greater Washington DC area in the Maryland suburbs. In hindsight, it was wonderful place to be raised. My Takoma Park and Silver Spring neighborhoods were the typical middle class dwellings and prototype of post-World War II family life. Like the prim and proper front yard I played in, my family of six looked similar – no noise, commotion, troubles – at least that neighbors could detect. But such tranquility was just too good to be true. Effects from our repressed home life wouldn’t really appear on me until adulthood. As I entered my young adult years, I was not only shy and fearful, but cautious about college being such a slow learner from the start.\n\nTentative to engage with anything or anybody during the ten years after leaving home, I watched my peers succeed in professional and personal standing while I stood still. It wasn’t until I was thirty that I decided to get a real job and try teaching.\n\nI taught high school in McLean, Virginia, for thirteen years. The profession was the right one for me at the time. But teacher burnout torched me so hard in 1996 I decided to leave teaching and the Washington area for good. I relocated to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and enrolled in undergraduate film school (as if all the sweat getting two undergraduate teaching degrees hadn’t been enough punishment already.)\n\nGetting the third degree. How prophetic. I graduated, but discovered I had little aptitude for most disciplines in film, if not all of them. The ensuing disappointment about film school layered over previous decades of suffering from depression and Lyme disease (although I was unaware I had Lyme at the time). Despite being a sheltered individual, I knew my cross-country trek of upheaval for film school and life relocation was quite a commendable thing to do, but in the end I was left lost, single, alone, and without direction.\n\nHowever, in Santa Fe, I found my soul mate home. And film school hadn’t turned out to be such a washout after all. From taking so many screenwriting courses, I realized how much I liked to write. And from that discovery, a new life path began."

"ONE TO WATCH - Kia Seltos",

"ONE TO WATCH - Kia Seltos\n\nKia has taken the wraps off their new SUV, the Kia Seltos. Originally previewed in 2018 by the SP concept before evolving to the near-production Signature concept earlier this year, the compact SUV will be manufactured at two of Kia’s production facilities – in Anantapur District, Andhra Pradesh, India, and Gwangju, Korea, before being exported to other world markets, including South Africa.\n\nWith a modern and urbane design, the SUV stands apart from rivals by pairing the unique preferences and needs of the millennial generation. The robust design character of a traditional SUV coexists with sophisticated exterior design details, such as its long hood, a strong, sophisticated character line on the front bumper, and sharp lines pressed into the bodywork. Its strong shoulder line, matched with a glasshouse which tapers towards the rear of the car, as well as rear bumper with a metallic muffler effect, lends the compact SUV an air of understated sportiness.\n\nThe design of the interior is aimed at tech-savvy buyers, and is equipped with a range of technologies to maximise convenience, connectivity and ease of use, the bold design of the cabin incorporates, in some models, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and Sound Mood Lighting. Within the spacious interior, the Seltos also houses, in some models, an 8-inch Head-Up Display system which unobtrusively projects relevant driving information on to a small glass panel behind the steering wheel – such as turn-by-turn navigation directions and vehicle speed information. Higher specification models will be available with a premium eight-speaker Bose audio system, although it remains to be seen if these options are available on South African models.\n\nEngine variants have yet to be disclosed by Kia, but the Korean auto giant says that the Seltos will feature a range of newly developed third-generation powertrains for high efficiency and powerful performance. All powertrains – be it naturally aspirated, turbo petrol and turbo diesel - will be engineered with Kia’s new Smartstream technology for improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Depending on the market, the Seltos will be offered with up to three automatic transmission options to suit their needs and driving style, including a seven speed dual clutch transmission (7DCT), a six-speed automatic transmission (6AT) and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Interestingly, the Seltos will also feature a drive mode select system, featuring normal, eco and sport settings.\n\nThe Seltos is fitted with six airbags, as well as a suite of electronic vehicle safety systems. These include KIA’s Vehicle Stability Management system as standard, incorporating traction control and electronic stability control. Depending on model and market, the car is also fitted with an Anti-lock Braking System, a Traction Control System, a Brake-force Assist System and Hill-start Assist Control, as well as front and rear parking sensors.\n\nThe Seltos will rival the Hyundai Creta when it touches down in South Africa early in 2020. Little else is known about local pricing and specification, but expect it to be priced similar to the Hyunda Creta which is currently priced from R354 900 to R438 900."

"Porsche is extending its current product range with the addition of a new 911 Turbo. The sixth generation of the top-of-the-range 911 model will be celebrating its world premiere on 28 February, 2006 at the Geneva Motor Show, ahead of going on sale in the UK early this summer.\n\nFeatured for the first time in a petrol engine, the turbocharging system of the new 911 Turbo uses variable turbine geometry technology to increase engine performance across the rev range. These improvements translate into a stunning driving performance. The new 911 Turbo with six-speed manual transmission requires 3.9 seconds for the standard sprint from 0 - 100km/h (0-62mph). The coupé reaches the 200 km/h mark (124mph) in 12.8 seconds. And just 3.8 seconds are all it takes for the most powerful series-built 911 model of all time to accelerate from 80 to 120 km/h (50–75mph) in fifth gear. Against this background of enhanced performance statistics, Porsche engineers have also succeeded in reducing average fuel consumption to 22.1mpg.\n\nThe 911 Turbo with the optionally available Tiptronic S automatic transmission puts in an even more impressive performance. An optimised set-up gives the vehicle the ability to power from 0 - 100km/h (0-62mph) in just 3.7 seconds and to reach 200 km/h (124mph) after just 12.2 seconds.\n\nThe Turbo with Tiptronic automatic transmission also has the advantage when it comes to flexibility. In fourth gear it accelerates from 80-120 km/h (50-75mph) in 3.5 seconds. Furthermore, fuel consumption of the Tiptronic S variant is also lower than that of its predecessor: 20.8mpg in accordance with the EU standard. Both transmission variants have a top speed of 310 km/h (193mph).\n\nThe flexibility of the 911 Turbo can be enhanced even further with the optional Sport Chrono Package Turbo, available for the first time. By engaging the Sport button adjacent to the gear lever, this feature enables the driver to activate a short-term turbocharger ‘overboost’ function at full throttle. This increases boost pressure in the mid-speed range by 0.2 bar for up to ten seconds; torque rises by 60Nm to 680 Nm. In this configuration, the time required by the 911 Turbo with manual transmission for intermediate acceleration from 80 to 120 km/h (50-75mph) is reduced by 0.3 seconds to 3.5 seconds.\n\nPorsche 911 Turbo Images may not be UK specification cars. Colours and exterior and/or interior elements may differ from actual models."

"UNION, New Jersey (WABC) -- A high school teacher from New Jersey went above and beyond for the family of a student after learning of their financial hardship.\n\nNicholas Ferroni is a firm believer that teaching from the heart is what will shape the minds of his students.\n\n\"There's no teacher in the world that should say, 'I don't care if you're depressed or upset, I need you to do well on this test,'\" he said.\n\nSo when the 38-year-old teacher noticed something wasn't quite right with Union High School senior George Hued, Ferroni followed his heart.\n\nIt turns out Hued, his mom and younger brother had recently been evicted from their home after a dispute over the lease. His mom, Melanie Robinson, had also lost her job.\n\nFerroni started a GoFundMe page, and within 48 hours, complete strangers enabled him to surprise her with more than $5,000 Tuesday.\n\n\"I was speechless,\" Robinson said. \"Because of that, I was able to pay my rent two months ahead.\"\n\nFerroni emphasized he was just the the one who put up the page, but 155 others were kind enough to help.\n\nStill, Ferroni has a following, and it's difficult not to notice him. In fact, People Magazine voted him sexiest teacher alive in 2014.\n\nFerroni grew up in Union and graduated from the high school, where he's been a teacher for the past 16 years. He's also had plenty of other accomplishments that don't involve his good looks, including an appearance on \"The View\" when he was recognized for an in-class social experiment in which he taught students how women have been underrepresented in government.\n\n\"I'll be 85, and my mom will still introduce me as, 'This is my son, and did you know he's the sexiest teacher alive?'\" he said. \"Not that I was honored by the United Nations or anything.\"\n\nBut that happened, too, when he was announced as a \"Champion of Change.\"\n\nAnd in the case of one family, there was change indeed.\n\n\"I had peace of mind for the first time in seven months,\" Robinson said.\n\nAnd there's no better lesson than that."

"Let’s crank it up all the way to 11, smear on the guyliner, and rock out to some Green Day!\n\nThe Bay Area-based band has certainly come a long way from their alt-punk days in the ‘90s, when their classic punk sound was infused with a rather tongue-in-cheek vibe, and videos of Billie Joe Armstrong in a straightjacket didn't seem entirely out of place. The great thing about Green Day is how they have been able to mature and grow as a band with the years without losing their edge and their rebellious attitude. A group that started out shirking The Man by just being crazy and juvenile grew into men who use their music to speak out against the ills of society and the suckiness of getting older.\n\nWith the smash success of their 2004 concept album, American Idiot, Billie Joe and the boys proved that they weren’t going anywhere, that they had way more up their musical sleeves than, you know, Dookie. When someone is able to turn one of your albums into a socially-conscious and equally successful Broadway musical, you know you’re on to something!\n\nSo, let’s take a look back at the very interesting and always rockin’ progression of this band from subversive punks to rebels with a cause!"

"We read in the Quran in the following passages that at some point in the history of the Children of Israel Mount Sinai was raised above them and the following commandments were given to them.\n\n[Quran 7:171] We raised the mountain above them like an umbrella, and they thought it was going to fall on them: “You shall uphold what we have given you, strongly, and remember the contents thereof, that you may be saved.”\n\n[Quran 2:63] We made a covenant with you, as we raised Mount Sinai above you: “You shall uphold what we have given you strongly, and remember its contents, that you may be saved.”\n\n[Quran 2:93] We made a covenant with you, as we raised Mount Sinai above you, saying, “You shall uphold the commandments we have given you, strongly, and listen.” They said, “We hear, but we disobey.” Their hearts became filled with adoration for the calf, due to their disbelief. Say, “Miserable indeed is what your faith dictates upon you, if you do have any faith.”\n\nBut where can we find this event in the Bible? In Exodus 19:17 we read about a similar event that contextually appears to match the account in the Quran, but according to most translations it seems to indicate that this event took place at the foot of the mountain as opposed to the mountain being lifted above the Children of Israel.\n\n16 On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast. Everyone in the camp trembled. 17 Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot (בְּתַחְתִּ֥ית / bə·ṯaḥ·tîṯ) of the mountain. 18 Mount Sinai was covered with smoke, because the Lord descended on it in fire. The smoke billowed up from it like smoke from a furnace, and the whole mountain trembled violently. 19 As the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and the voice of God answered him.\n\nWe also see that Deuteronomy 4:11, appears to be describing the same event.\n\n1 Now, Israel, hear the decrees and laws I am about to teach you. Follow them so that you may live and may go in and take possession of the land the Lord, the God of your ancestors, is giving you. 2 Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you.\n\n5 See, I have taught you decrees and laws as the Lord my God commanded me, so that you may follow them in the land you are entering to take possession of it. 6 Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding to the nations, who will hear about all these decrees and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.” 7 What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the Lord our God is near us whenever we pray to him? 8 And what other nation is so great as to have such righteous decrees and laws as this body of laws I am setting before you today?\n\n9 Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them. 10 Remember the day you stood before the Lord your God at Horeb, when he said to me, “Assemble the people before me to hear my words so that they may learn to revere me as long as they live in the land and may teach them to their children.” 11 You came near and stood at the foot (תַּ֣חַת / ta·ḥaṯ) of the mountain while it blazed with fire to the very heavens, with black clouds and deep darkness. 12 Then the Lord spoke to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of words but saw no form; there was only a voice. 13 He declared to you his covenant, the Ten Commandments, which he commanded you to follow and then wrote them on two stone tablets. 14 And the Lord directed me at that time to teach you the decrees and laws you are to follow in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.\n\nThe Hebrew word that is translated as “at the foot” (of the mountain) in Exodus 19:7 comes from the Hebrew word תַּחְתִּי (tachti). This word has nineteen occurrences in the Bible and also means beneath, as well as lower or lowest.\n\nWe see this word used in the context of beneath three times in Chapter 31 of Ezekiel.\n\n14 so that all the trees by the waters may not be exalted in their stature, nor set their top among the clouds, nor their well-watered mighty ones stand erect in their height. For they have all been given over to death, to the earth beneath (תַּחְתִּ֗ית / taḥ-tîṯ), among the sons of men, with those who go down to the pit.”\n\n15 ‘Thus says the Lord God, “On the day when it went down to Sheol I caused lamentations; I closed the deep over it and held back its rivers. And its many waters were stopped up, and I made Lebanon mourn for it, and all the trees of the field wilted away on account of it. 16 I made the nations quake at the sound of its fall when I made it go down to Sheol with those who go down to the pit; and all the well-watered trees of Eden, the choicest and best of Lebanon, were comforted in the earth beneath (תַּחְתִּית֙ / taḥ-tîṯ). 17 They also went down with it to Sheol to those who were slain by the sword; and those who were its strength lived under its shade among the nations.\n\n18 “To which among the trees of Eden are you thus equal in glory and greatness? Yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the earth beneath (תַּחְתִּ֗ית / taḥ-tîṯ); you will lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who were slain by the sword. So is Pharaoh and all his hordes!”’ declares the Lord God.”"

"An interesting idea to help reduce carbon emissions from the shipping industry has been proposed, and it’s not complicated technology or a new fuel source, but the same power sailors have harnessed for millennium: wind. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) launched an initiative in 2018 calling for a 50 percent reduction in CO2 emissions in shipping by 2050. Maersk, the world’s largest shipping company, is the first to take up the challenge, claiming their fleet would be carbon neutral by that date.\n\nThe idea of modern cargo ships being outfitted with sails may seem strange at first, but representatives from the International Windship Association (IWSA) say the concept makes perfect sense. “We all face the immense challenge of rapidly decarbonizing shipping and the technology that can deliver 5 to 20 percent, possibly 30 percent fuel savings as retrofit options and 30 percent upwards for new, optimized vessels can’t be ignored – the issue is not why, but when and how we will install wind solutions,” said IWSA Secretary Gavin Allwright, who received the Initiate Award at the GREEN4SEA award ceremony on March 12.\n\nThe IWSA will be spreading the message about modern automated sails and wind-assisted propulsion at several free seminars in the U.S. and Canada this spring; the first is at the Port of Vancouver on March 27, followed by a seminar in Washington, D.C., on April 1, and another at the San Francisco Boat show on April 5. “The use of wind propulsion technology is a growing trend in the industry with installations of Flettner rotors increasing strongly over the last 12 months, with six vessels and 14 rotors installed,” said Allwright. “However other developments with rigid sail, suction wings, kites and more traditional soft sail are also moving up a gear.”\n\nInterest in direct wind propulsion has grown among major shipping lines recently, including Maersk, Airbus, Viking Lines, MOL, and others. The IWSA is hopeful that as wind power proves useful on modern cargo ships, automated sails will become an increasingly common sight."

"The batteries in many phones and tablets are not removable. When they break, the whole product has to be replaced. [tribehut/Flickr]\n\nProducers of computers, smartphones and other electronic appliances find ways to cut the useful life-spans of their products. Faced with this programmed obsolescence and the high cost of repairs and spare parts, consumers have little option but to replace their appliances whenever something goes wrong.\n\nAn own-initiative report adopted in Strasbourg on Tuesday highlighted the high environmental cost of constantly buying new products, rather than repairing them.\n\n“Resources are precious today, all kinds of resources,” said French Green MEP Pascal Durand, the author of the report. Durand denounced the manufacturers of “products that stop working as soon as the legal guarantee is up”, and called on the European Commission to take action.",
null,
"Durand’s report proposes a number of measures to improve the sustainability of electronic products and software. Among them is a proposal to establish “minimum resistance criteria” for each product category. A European definition of programmed obsolescence would also have to be adopted to provide a benchmark against which these criteria could be evaluated.\n\nRepairing rather than replacing\n\nProduct repair is another area ripe for EU action, MEPs believe. Many computers, smartphones and tablets currently on the market are very hard – or even impossible – to repair.\n\nAs a result, the cost of repair services is high, spare parts are hard to find and even when they are available, repairs are not always possible because many parts, like phone batteries, are not removable.\n\nTo increase competition and keep costs down, MEPs backed a proposal that consumers should be able to choose an independent repair service, rather than be forced to rely on the product’s manufacturer.\n\nThey also agreed that essential parts, such as LEDs and batteries, should be removable, except when this compromises the product’s safety, and that spare parts should be available at reasonable prices.\n\n“This is an excellent signal for all the actors in the sector. We will make sure that the Commission takes up the subject,” said Laetitia Vasseur, co-founder of the anti-programmed obsolescence group HOP.\n\nYet, the issue of programmed obsolescence was largely brushed over in the EU executive’s recent Circular Economy Package.\n\nIn December 2015, Brussels presented a package of six legislative texts on the circular economy. The subject proved to be highly sensitive and the ambition of the package was largely limited to recycling and waste treatment.\n\n“The Commission chose to approach the circular economy from the angle of raw materials and recycling, while this report concentrates on consumer protection. These are two complementary approaches,” said French Socialist MEP Virginie Rozière.\n\nResearchers at the Öko-Institut and the University of Bonn found that consumers were replacing their fridges, flatscreen TVs and notebooks more and more frequently. But how much of that is down to “built-in obsolescence” is still unclear.\n\n“But it is a good thing to remind the Commission of this,” she added, “seeing how they dragged their feet on the subject.”\n\nWhile the Commission has no legal obligation to act on the report, the Parliament hopes its clear signal will push the executive to take the issue of programmed obsolescence seriously and offer legislation on the matter."

"Rollelisten fra the Cosby Show is the title of a new release by Danish pop avant-garde outfit, Atomfax. It is a follow-up to their 2012 debut EP, Mekonium, which was critically acclaimed and hailed by critics as a fine example of how Danish rock music is developing right now. And Atomfax are definitely determined to carve out a niche for themselves. The classic pop recipe consisting of three chords and unambiguous lyrics has been replaced by quick changes in both tempo and key. On their new release, they have refined their unique style of playing that was already hinted at on their debut EP, produced by Nikolaj Nørlund. The new release is co-produced with Danish punk rock legend, Per Buhl Acs, who was a part of the renowned punk rock act, No Knox, and who has worked with bands such as Synd og Skam and Pere Ubu. The sound on Atomfax’s newest release calls to mind the music of Pere Ubu and other art-rock giants such as Talking Heads, Roxy Music and Bob Hund. With his firm grip on alternative music, Per Buhl Acs has lead a team of explorers on an adventurous journey towards the unknown – on the hunt for a new day in pop music and an expansion of the known frontiers of rock music. On their new mini-album, Atomfax have cranked up the screaming lo-fi guitars, the rhythmically inviting bass and the manic phrases of the lyrics and invite listeners along on their epic journey. Rollelisten fra the Cosby Show will be released January the 27th, 2014, on Ramona Records.",

"Mama, I’ve made it. In case you want a really really good reason to be proud of your daughter (in addition to my degree in “secretary” that is), I am now a member of The Digit-al Dozen, an awesome group of super talented nail artists. And no, I didn’t have to pay to get in: I was chosen.\n\nAhhhhhhhh! So it’s not like a Harvard or Yale situation or anything like that, but it’s PRETTY DANG CLOSE. And that’s in all caps so you know I’m serious. I’m the happiest of all things happy.\n\nSo what does this mean? Well, in addition to my swatches and reviews of nail polish, I’ll actually get to show you some of my nail art, which I admit is few and far between on here. Every month there is a theme, and all of us post our themed manis once a day for five days. Which also means I will be blogging five days in a row, and that makes you excited. (It does; I checked.)\n\nNot sure what layout or formula I’ll end up with eventually on how I’ll do these posts, so bear with me as I figure it out. This first week will be pretty basic, but hopefully the nail art you will love.",
null,
"I hope the first thing you thought of when you saw that was VAMPY. Or actually, maybe you thought GENIUS! first, then vampy, which is also correct.\n\nHere’s what I used:\n\nRed duo chrome – Dainty Digits Polish Equinox, a polish that I swatched for you last week. I thought it was the perfect vampy shade!\n\nStamping – Bundle Monster + Yagala collab plate BM-XL208. I used the one image in two ways because every once in a while I can be resourceful. Buying 78 shades of purple nail polish is a moot point. Obviously.\n\nHope you enjoyed my first Digit-al Dozen post! I’ve got four more to share this week which I hope look just as vampy (or genius) as this one. In the meantime, click the button below to see the rest of The Digit-al Dozen vampy manis!"

"Tracey Warr is here with a Finnish-born writer Emmi Itäranta, for whom displacement means living in another country (England) and writing dual-language dystopian novels. As a special note to long-time Displaced Nation readers, the book that had the greatest impact on Emmi as a child was Alice in Wonderland—until she discovered science fiction and fantasy.\n\nGreetings, Displaced Nationers. My guest this month is Emmi Itäranta, who grew up in Tampere, a city surrounded by two lakes in southern Finland.\n\nAnd if her childhood was spent in a territory located between Lakes Näsijärvi and Pyhäjärvi, she has chosen to spend her adulthood afloat between two languages, Finnish and English.\n\nAfter earning an MA in Drama from the University of Finland and temping for a few years in jobs ranging from scriptwriter to press officer, she challenged herself to do an MA in Creative Writing in English at the University of Kent in the UK. As part of that course, she began writing her first novel, Memory of Water, working in English and Finnish simultaneously. As that title suggests, it’s set in a dystopian future where fresh water is scarce.",
null,
"England is now Emmi’s home: she has lived in Canterbury since 2007. But she continues to write fiction in both English and Finnish. (She speaks English at home with her Spanish husband.) Emmi feels that her books would be different altogether if she wrote them in only one language. In answer to an interviewer’s questions about the dual-language process that produced Memory of Water, she had the following to say:\n\nI began writing the book in English because part of it formed my creative writing dissertation at the University of Kent, but early on I realised that drafting it in Finnish at the same time helped me polish the writing. The two languages seemed to support and inform each other. You get very, very close to the text when you work in two languages; translators often spot details that the author and editor may have missed. It is a slow process, and hard work, but ultimately I find it rewarding.\n\nEmmi has now come out with her second novel. Published in Finnish in 2015, it has just now made its English-language debut in the UK with Harper Voyager, under the title The City of Woven Streets. The U.S. edition, to be published later this year, will be called The Weaver.",
null,
"The City of Woven Streets / The Weaver is a story about an island that is slowly sinking into the sea (if Emmi’s first book had too little water, this one has too much), and where dreaming is forbidden. It has elements of urban fantasy but its world has a feel of the past, rather than present or future. In a city where human life has little value, you must practice a craft if you want to stay alive.\n\nNow let’s talk to Emmi about she gets her readers to experience these extraordinary settings.\n\nWelcome, Emmi, to Location, Locution. Which comes first in your novels, story or location?\n\nFor my second novel, The Weaver / The City of Woven Streets, the location came first. I saw an imaginary city with its strange own internal laws and spent months writing scenes that simply explored the setting but were not yet connected by a story. This surprised me because in my first book, Memory of Water, the story and location were intertwined from the beginning. For that book, the first image that came to me was a young woman preparing tea in a dry future world. The story called for a specific location—far north, near the Arctic—and the location shaped the story.\n\nFor those who haven’t read Emmi’s first novel yet: The main character, Noria, lives near present-day Kuusamo, northern Finland, where she is learning to become a tea master in her father’s footsteps. By then Finland is ruled by an Asian superpower, and water for tea is a rare treasure.\n\nEmmi, your novels have a strong sense of place. Can you tell us what techniques you use for evoking those feelings in your readers?\n\nI try to imagine how the characters would experience the place through their senses. What are the shapes and colours surrounding them? How does the air smell and taste? How does the ground feel under their feet, what sounds does it make as they walk? What do they notice, what is relevant to them individually, but also as part of the community that inhabits this setting?\n\nAll of those, but I would also add things like weather and seasons. Furthermore, I think a sense of history is important, in fiction just as it is in real life. Even if we don’t know the history of a location in detail, the feeling that there is one helps make it more plausible and gives it depth.\n\nDid you have any real cities in mine when you created the city in The Weaver / The City of Woven Streets?\n\nYes, The Weaver / The City of Woven Streets is set in a fantasy world but to make it feel tangibly real, I used my knowledge and impressions of old European cities I have visited, mainly Prague, Venice and Dubrovnik.",
null,
"I’d like to share a passage from the first chapter of The Weaver / The City of Woven Streets. It aims to create a sense of the surroundings my main character, Eliana, lives in, a world that is unfamiliar and recognisable at once:\n\nI like the air gondola port because you cannot see the Tower from there: its tall, dark figure is concealed behind the wall and the buildings of the House of Webs. Here I can imagine for a moment that I am beyond the reach of the Council’s gaze. I like the port best at this hour, when the cables have not yet started creaking. The vessels are still, their weight hanging mid-air, or resting at the dock, or floating in the water of the canals. The gate cracks open without a sound. The wrought iron is cold against my skin, and the humidity gathered on its surface clings to my palms. The cable of the air route dives into the precipice, which begins at the rock landing of the port, and the city opens below. I walk along the landing close to the brink. It is steep as a broken bridge. Far below, the sharp edges of Halfway Canal cut through the guts of the island, outlining waters that always run dark, even in brightest summer light.\n\nThe sky has begun to fade into the colours of smoke and roses. The first light already clings to the rooftops and windows, to the glint of the Glass Grove a distance away. The flood has finally ceased to rise, and down in the city the water rests on streets and squares. Its surface is smooth and unbroken in the calm closeness of dawn: a strange mirror, like a dark sheet of glass enclosing a shadow double of the city.",
null,
"My stories tend to be set in the future or entirely fictional worlds, so you could say the settings are imaginary for the most part. However, I do use real places as inspiration and find that visiting them where possible really helps bring the fictional setting to life. For The Weaver / The City of Woven Streets, I looked at photographs and journals from my visits to different cities, particularly those with a long history. I’m always interested in trying to understand how different eras have shaped a place. So the end result becomes a mixture of imagination, history, memory and subjective experience.\n\nThere are so many, but the first one that comes to mind is China Miéville and the strange geography of his novel The City and the City. It portrays two fictional cities that overlap, yet are distinct from each other with their own unique and recognisable features, cultures and complex unspoken agreements that define the border between the two. The setting almost becomes a character in its own right.",
null,
"Thanks so much, Emmi, for your answers.\n\nReaders, any questions for Emmi? Please leave them in the comments below.\n\nThank you so much, Tracey! I loved hearing about the way Emmi’s imagination works, feeding on everything from linguistic differences to her travels within Europe. —ML Awanohara\n\nTracey Warr is an English writer living mostly in France. She has published two medieval novels with Impress Books. She just now published, in English and French, a future fiction novella, Meanda, set on a watery exoplanet, as an Amazon Kindle ebook. Her new historical novel, Conquest: Daughter of the Last King, set in 12th century Wales and England, will be published by Impress Books in September.\n\nPhoto credits: Top of page: The World Book (1920), by Eric Fischer via Flickr (CC BY 2.0); “Writing?

"Becoming a Buddhist Monk for a period of time is something that every Thai man is expected to do. I had the opportunity to ordain as a monk at a forest temple in Surin province for a week. It was a life altering experience as I temporarily “gave up” my worldly possessions – and my hair (including eyebrows). I felt very privileged to be offered this experience and learnt a lot about myself during that week. It sounds quite demeaning to have to be void of possessions and to live a simple life in a hut getting up at 4am every morning to meditate and listen to a sermon before going on alms rounds to collect food from nearby villagers. Mealtimes are at 8am and then 11am with no food permitted after noon. Drinking is of course allowed. Each day is spent performing ceremonies for local people, performing menial tasks such as cleaning and working around the temple. I quickly got used to the routine and didn’t find it demeaning at all – more liberating in fact. Worldly concerns melted away as I became more involved in the spiritual side of things. Monks are not allowed to use technology, nor to indulge in entertainment such as singing or dancing or listening to music. Alcohol and smoking are of course forbidden and even naughty thoughts are to be suppressed. I found the whole experience a great exercise in self control and would gladly ordain as a monk again when the time is right."

"Life Goes On Even if the Whole Thing is Flawed",
null,
"Today marks the nineteenth month since my life mate — my soul mate — died of inoperable kidney cancer. 580 days of missing him have passed, and there is still a lifetime of such days ahead of me.\n\nIt was a quiet day for me today, no big emotional storm — the storm came last month. I can see why there would be a grief upsurge at twelve months — that is a major anniversary and a big step. But at eighteen months? Can’t figure that one out. But, as I have learned, grief has no logic. It comes and goes as it pleases. Most times I do well by keeping busy and focusing on the moment, other times I am overwhelmed . . . again . . . by the realization that he is dead.\n\nI hate that he is gone. The world is so much poorer without him. If he had left me for another person or place on earth, I would probably be furious at him for leaving, but I would not have this feeling of blank. It’s as if something in the middle of the page of my life was erased, and that blank spot remains. I work around the blank spot, fill it with excursions, friends, exercise, online activities, but still, it is there, a major flaw in my life.\n\nHe and I used to make tapes of the songs we liked, along with an index of each tape so we’d know what we have. I started going through some of his music tapes, trying to decide what I want to do with them. (I’d like to keep everything I have left of his, but when one leads an unsettled life, extraneous possessions become a burden rather than a luxury.) I was doing fine until I came across a tape marked flawed. I pulled out the paper that listed the songs on that particular tape. He had written in big letters across the top of the page: whole thing flawed. I set both the tape and the index on my work table, and that was the end of that. I haven’t been able to go through any more of his music, nor have I been able to throw away that tape or that paper. So every day I see that message: Whole thing flawed. That’s what life feels like now — it’s continuing on, but with him gone, the whole thing seems flawed.\n\nI still have his tape player, and in the player is one of his tapes. If I rewind the tape a bit, I’ll be able to listen to the last song he ever heard. That’s something else I haven’t been able to do, or wanted to do. I don’t know how I’ll feel. Don’t know if it will make me feel connected to him, if it will set off a storm of tears, or if I will feel as if I were spying on him. So the tape player with that final tape is packed away, along with all his other tapes except the one on my table with it’s stark reminder: whole thing flawed."

"Federated Investors Global Equities CIO Steve Auth and Oberweis Asset Management President Jim Oberweis on whether investors should be concerned about Boeing’s stock after President Trump ordered all Boeing 737 Max jets to be grounded and the U.S.-China trade deal.\n\nU.S. stocks closed higher Friday, with the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average surging triple digits, after a report that Boeing will roll out a software upgrade for its 737 Max jets in 10 days.\n\nThe Chicago-based aerospace giant pushed back on the AFP report, saying its software upgrade will be rolled out in the coming weeks and that the timeline hasn’t changed. All three major equity averages in the market ended the week higher.\n\nBoeing shares, which had been down as much as 1.8 percent early in Friday's session, turned positive in midday trading and added some 30 points to the Dow Jones Industrial Average.\n\nThe annual session of China's ceremonial congress concluded Friday with Premier Li Keqiang pledging support for the slowing rate of growth in the world's second-largest economy.\n\nAlso, the congress endorsed a law discouraging Chinese officials from pressuring companies to hand over technology. The measure addresses complaints, particularly from Washington, that China's system is rigged against foreign companies.\n\nBroadcom shares notched a record high after posting stronger-than-expected results for the three months ended Feb. 3, the company's fiscal first quarter. The supplier to Apple and Samsung said it was maintaining its full-year fiscal 2019 business outlook.\n\n\"We had a good start to 2019 as we continued to execute on our proven business model. Strong results in our networking business supported our semiconductor solutions segment, despite the anticipated sharp decline in wireless. Additionally, our infrastructure software segment performed extremely well as we made good progress with the CA business integration into Broadcom,\" CEO Hock Tan said in a statement.\n\nThe University of Michigan reported Friday that its consumer sentiment survey bounced in March to 97.8 from 93.8."

When the US banned alcohol altogether, sales of alcohol actually INCREASED. It was just too easy to get despite the law. It's the same with underage drinking - if you ban young people from drinking altogether, they'll just have loads as soon as they can get their hands on it, legally or otherwise.

In the U.S graduated licensing is required by everyone under 18 and a learner's permit elsewhere to my knowledge (correct me if I'm wrong, I live in Canada). Driving is not technically bad for you if you don't drive recklessly, and as such there should be no reason to really restrict driving privileges.

The ONLY reason there fewer drunk-driving-caused deaths is due to cars having better safety equipment such as airbags.\nWhen I was 18, I was in charge of a piece of military hardware worth over $22 million and could flatten entire city blocks, but I am not fit to drink a beer on off-hours?! When I was 18, I was in combat. Got shot. But, I am not capable of handling a shot of whiskey?!\nLower the drinking age BACK to 18 and INCREASE the penalties for DUI, including mandatory jail time for causing bodily harm or death; mandatory revocation of driving privileges on the third conviction for DUI. THAT will do more to lower DUI rates than anything else.\nReply Quote & ReplyMulti Quote\nBack to the top\nDisplaying Page 1 of 3\n1 | 2 | Last Next\nSubscribe to topic\nLogin in above or register to subscribe to this topic.\nYou can subscribe to receive an email when someone replies to this topic.\nWe will only send 1 email to you if there has been 1 or more replies since your last viewing.

"Reuters reports: “With about 70 percent of ballots counted, TV entertainer Salvador Nasralla was leading by a margin of five points, election official Marcos Ramiro Lobo told Reuters on Monday afternoon, by which time results updates had ground to a halt.”\n\n“The lead was too large for Hernandez to overcome, Lobo said, without saying what percentage of the vote Nasralla secured. An initial tally encompassing more than half of ballots early on Monday gave Nasralla 45 percent and Hernandez 40 percent,” according to Reuters.\n\nIf Lobo is correct that the TSE has counted 70 percent of ballots already, and if the non-Nasralla, non-Hernández votes hold at 15 percent, this means that Hernández would need to receive almost 51 percent (50.8 percent) of the remaining, uncounted ballots in order to win.\n\nThe odds against Hernandez winning 51 percent of the remaining ballots after winning only 40 percent so far would seem insurmountable. Furthermore, Lobo and other election officials would have details on the areas with votes remaining to be counted, and could therefore determine whether such a result is even statistically conceivable. It is therefore reasonable to assume that Lobo was correct in stating that Nasralla’s lead is almost impossible for Hernández to overcome.\n\n“It is unusual for the TSE to keep so much of the vote counting process secret and not to release data publicly as it becomes available,” Weisbrot said. “This secrecy increases political tensions and increases both the perception and the possibility of cheating. All this has a negative impact on what remains of Honduras’ democratic Institutions.”"

"According to the screenshots shared by the report, the phone will sport wide and ultrawide cameras. Although nothing is known in detail, the phone is expected to focus on the camera department. The main camera is going to be a 64 MP camera most probably. Tagged with the model number SM-F415F, this device is going to come with a water drop notch screen, triple camera setup at the back, a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and a headphone jack.\n\nA dual speaker arrangement will be present in the device and will support fast charging.\n\nThe sim card slot details reveal that it will sport dual-SIMs and a microSD card together. Also, there is the provision of Type-C connectivity.\n\nGalaxy F41 has also passed two certification tests. My Smart Price detected the device in the listing of Geekbench. The smartphone will be powered with an octa-core Exynos 9611 chipset and will be paired with 6 GB of RAM. The device will run on Android 10 operating system.\n\nEarlier today, another report by GizChina suggested that the device has been spotted in the certification of Google Play Console. It has reaffirmed the speculations seen in Geekbench and gives insight into some other features of the device.\n\nOffering a waterdrop notch AMOLED panel, the smartphone will have a screen resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. There are going to be three cameras at the back with the main camera being a 64 MP wide lens. But this listing also failed to disclose any details about the third rear camera."

"Please note that we are closed on all Mondays. Thank you for the understanding.\n\nTerry Brooks – Elves of Cintra (Genesis of Shannara), The [Shelves:141]\n\nWith his groundbreaking New York Times bestseller The Sword of Shannara and its acclaimed sequels, Terry Brooks brought a new audience to epic fantasy. Then he gave the genre a darkly compelling contemporary twist in his trilogy of the Word and the Void. Last year, in Armageddon’s Children, Brooks undertook the stunning chronicle that united two unique worlds. Now that story of clashing forces of darkness and light, of Shannara’s beginnings and the human race’s possible end, marches forward into an unforgettable second volume full of mystery, magic, and momentous events.Across the ruined landscape that is America–hopelessly poisoned, plague-ridden, burned, and besieged by demon armies bent on exterminating all mortal life–two pilgrims have been summoned to serve the embattled cause of good. Logan Tom has journeyed to desolate Seattle to protect a ragged band of street urchins and the being known as “the gypsy morph,” who is both mortal and magical, and destined to save mankind unless he is destroyed. Likewise, Angel Perez has her own quest, one that will take her from the wreckage of Los Angeles to a distant, secret place untouched by the horrors of the nationwide blight–a place where the race of Elves has dwelled since before man existed. But close behind these lone Knights of the Word swarm the ravening forces of the Void. As the menacing thunder of war drums heralds the arrival of the demons and their brutal minions in Seattle, the young survivors who call themselves the Ghosts are forced to brave the dangerous world of gangs, mutants, and worse to escape the invasion. And Logan Tom must infiltrate a refugee compound to rescue Hawk, the leader of the street urchins, who has yet to learn the truth about who and what he is. Meanwhile, Angel Perez has joined an equally urgent mission: to find the Ellcrys, a fabled talisman crucial to protecting the Elven realm against an influx of unspeakable evil from the dread dimension known as the Forbidding. But Angel and her Elf allies must beware–for a demon spy, with a monstrous creature at its command, walks among them.As the legions of darkness draw the noose tighter, and the time of confrontation draws near, those chosen to defend the soul of the world must draw their battle lines and prepare to fight with, and for, their lives. If they fail, humanity falls.From the Hardcover edition.",

"Why Am I So Tired All The Time Mommy Troubles\n\nIf only you had a penny for every time you use the phrase “I feel so tired,” you’d probably be able to get away with succumbing to the tiredness and resting all day long. While fatigue is common during pregnancy, it might insinuate a deeper problem within the body, especially if it a frequent occurrence in younger women.\n\nTiresomeness has become so prominent in recent times, especially among young women, that nobody really thinks about the root cause of the fatigue. Tiredness can be due to physiological or psychological reasons, but more often than not, it is a combination of the two that leads to constant fatigue. Tiredness is usually just a symptom of a disorder, which is suggestive of the actual issue that may be affecting the body.\n\nThe top reason as to why young and middle-aged women experience fatigue is due to anemia and thyroid. The lack of RBCs (red-blood cells) in the blood causes you to feel weak and makes you run short of breath. Parallely, thyroid plays a major role in causing tiresomeness. High blood sugar, or diabetes, is also a leading cause of fatigue, and eliminating sugar-rich food from one’s diet may help curb the high levels.\n\nFurthermore, hormonal imbalances and stress coupled with a sedentary lifestyle inevitably leads to fatigue, which, if ignored, might lead to other serious complications in the long run. Lack or poor quality of sleep is another huge culprit of tiredness. While missing out on a good night’s sleep might be okay for younger women, if the habit becomes more frequent, one is bound to feel lethargic and tired for the rest of the day. Dehydration and lack of activity are also contributors to tiredness.\n\nPsychologically, fatigue is a symptom of various stress or lifestyle disorders. Emotional stress affects over 50 per cent of the Indian populace, with women being the most affected. Anxiety or nerve disorders are also the leading causes of tiresomeness. With fatigue being a huge part of depression, bipolar, and other mental illnesses, slight imbalances in mental health can bring trouble to the body. As a large number of cases of depression go undiagnosed, fatigue remains a chronic illness to many.\n\nAnother common, but often ignored, cause of fatigue is a poor diet. Diets that lack the right amount of nutrients leads to the deficiency of the nutrient, which makes one lethargic and weak. Improper diet can cause hormonal imbalances, which can affect the functioning of neurotransmitters, causing anxiety or depression. Unhealthy food habits can also disturb normal sleep cycles, which can lead one to be irritable and restless. An imbalanced diet is capable of affecting the person’s lifestyle, which can not only lead to fatigue, but can also cause one to be less motivated.\n\nLeading a healthy lifestyle, avoiding alcohol, indulging in sport activities and regular exercise are essential to maintaining good mental and physical health. Only when you are both physiologically and psychologically healthy will your body bid farewell to fatigue."

"The regular season for your league has come to an end. Now it’s time for the playoffs to crown a champion.\n\nThe good news is that Sports Bench comes with a built-in way to set up playoff brackets for your website.\n\nSo let’s take a look at how you can create a bracket on your website.\n\nMake sure you have teams and games\n\nThis seems pretty simple, and if you’ve completed your regular season you won’t need to worry about it.\n\nBut you do need to make sure that you have teams and games for this to work. Otherwise what is the point of the bracket in the first place.\n\nSo if you happen to be importing older data, please make sure that you have your teams and games imported first before creating historical brackets.\n\nDetermine the size and type of tournament\n\nOne of the first things you need to do for your bracket is to determine how many teams will be in the tournament and what type of bracket this will be.\n\nFor single elimination games, you can select a two, four, six, eight, 12, 16, 24, 32 and 64 team bracket. For the six, 12 and 24 team tournaments, the byes will already be set up for you, so you just need to enter in the team information for each of those match ups.\n\nWhen you’ve made your selections, you can hit “Create Bracket” to generate the fields for each series in the tournament.\n\nSetting Up the First Round of Games\n\nOnce you’ve generated the bracket, it’s time to add in the first round of games.\n\nEach pairing in the bracket is defined as a series, which is the terminology used throughout Sports Bench even if your league or sport doesn’t do best-of series. It just makes things a little bit easier to keep straight.\n\nIf you have already created the games for the series, you can select them beneath the series type selector. When those games go final, the series information on the front end will be updated automatically outside of advancing the winning team to the next series. You’ll have to do that manually.\n\nIf your tournament hasn’t started yet, that’s all you need to do. You can come back and update the bracket for the next round when you’re ready. If you are creating a historical bracket or getting caught up on an ongoing tournament, you can repeat the steps for the next rounds.\n\nOnce you’ve got the tournament all set up, adding it to a post or page is super easy.\n\nIf you’re using the block editor in WordPress, you can simply add the Sports Bench Bracket block. After inserting it into the content, you can select the bracket to show in the right-hand column through the drop down.\n\nIf you’re using the classic editor, you can hit the “SB” logo in the TinyMCE toolbar. Then in the modal that pops up, select “Bracket” and then pick the bracket you want to show and insert it into the content.\n\nOn the front end, Sports Bench will load and display that bracket with all of the key information in a bracket-like design. There’s nothing else you need to do. Now people know exactly what your playoff bracket will look like and the path each team has towards a championship.\n\nUpdating the tournament as it progresses\n\nOnce the tournament is underway, you can go back and edit each of the series in the tournament as they finish up. If you didn’t do it before the series started, you can select the games that make up the series and the bracket will reflect those changes on the front end.\n\nAnd the best part is that all of this will be updated and showing in a cool bracket format on the front end without any extra work from you.\n\nSee all of the Tutorials",

"CryptoNight Algorithm is basically designed to resist ASIC and to make CPU and GPU mining equally efficient. Currently there are more than 10 CryptoNight algorithms out there with each having huge variations in performance. Some coins followed Monero and used CryptoNight V7 algorithm. Some coins took a completely different path and implemented their own version of CryptoNight algorithm. All to vigorously maintain ASIC resistance and to keep the network decentralized. So even in future if ASIC gets released supporting any of the CryptoNight versions then for sure the coin will just hard fork again. If not then there is no point for the coin to use open source technology that specifically highlights egalitarianism.\n\nWith different versions of CryptoNight we pretty much need a single mining software supporting all CryptoNight algorithms. If you are looking for one such miner for your AMD graphic cards then give SRBMiner a try. This miner is been here for a while and is used by many AMD miners but we totally failed to mention it. So here it is; a short intro to SRBMiner and its features.\n\nSRBMiner is a closed source Windows only AMD GPU Miner supporting all new CryptoNight algorithms. This miner supports all types of AMD GPUs Including RX and the older models. We have XRM STAK and XMRig which works fine with CPU, NVIDIA and AMD graphic cards but they do still lack some new algorithms such as UltraHeavy, V4 and alloy.",
null,
"This SRBMiner has added support for all cryptonight algorithms including the most recent ones. Moreover SRBMiner is specifically developed for AMD GPUs so you could expect stable mining performance on AMD cards. Also even some users reported that it performs better on certain algorithms.\n\nFollowing are the features of SRBMiner and followed by that is the list of Cryptonight Algorithms and CryptoNote coins that this miner supports.\n\n1. Low developer fee: SRBMiner has a build in dev fee of 0.85% which is low compared to other miners.\n\n2. Simple to setup: SRBMiner is simple to configure and there is only one setting that you’ll need to tweak for hashrate improvements and that is Intensity.\n\n4. Watchdog and Hash Monitor: SRBMiner monitors GPU threads and if anytime GPU stops hashing then it restarts the miner automatically.\n\n5. Failover pool support: You can add more than one pool to your config. If the primary pool fails at one point then the miner automatically switches over to the next pool.\n\nThis miner is only available for Windows and no Linux. The latest released version is v 1.5.8 and the official download link for the miner is available at Bitcoin Forum. On the same page you’ll find instructions on how to setup, configure and fine-tune the miner. The discussion seems active and this is the right place if you need any help regarding this miner.\n\nFor best results it is recommended that you use Blockchain compute drivers which can be found here.\n\nAlso SRBMiner is currently not installed on Hive OS. Looks like SMOS and Awesome miner is waiting for API release so that they can integrate into their software. As of now you can try this only on your Windows computer, but is it safe?\n\nThere is no source code available for this miner so we can’t tell if is safe or not. Since it is a closed source miner we highly do not recommend it. Anyways if you’d like to give it a try then use it in your mining rigs where you don’t have wallets installed.",

"Also we scanned this miner using Virus Total and the result is 2/61 engines detected. Please use it with extreme caution and at your own risk!",

"Young children have been tear-gassed by police on Lesbos during a protest by migrants complaining about crowded living conditions.\n\nFizzy drinks were used to wash the tear gas out of the children’s eyes after police used the riot-control gas on the peaceful demonstration.\n\nSoft drinks, like Coca-Cola, are acidic along with lemon juice and vinegar and can ease the pain of tear gas.\n\nApproximately 2,000 migrants marched out of the Moria camp on Lesbos – one of the closest Greek islands to the Turkish mainland – to protest in the island’s main town, Mytiline. They were blocked by police outside the town.\n\nMoria is a former military base, built with a capacity of approximately 2,300. But 19,541 migrants are currently housed in the camp, forcing many to camp in the surrounding olive groves.\n\nThe new right-wing government in Athens said it would reduce numbers on the island by replacing camps with holding centres to process arrivals and those with rejected asylum applications.\n\nUnder the European Union migration agreement, almost all migrants entering Greece illegally are due to be deported to Turkey unless granted asylum. The legal procedure has kept thousands in Greek camps for over a year.\n\nFranziska Grillmeier, a German journalist on Lesbos, said: “There was a lot of tear gas, it was constant. Fires broke out in the olive groves and firemen had to be called. Everybody who was there was tear-gassed, including babies and small children.\n\n“Children were crying and in panic – they couldn’t catch their breath, they had respiratory problems.\n\n“The parents brought their babies and kids on the march because there are no safe spaces in the camp in which to leave them.”\n\nArrivals continue to outnumber those being forced to return to Turkey. On Monday 92 arrivals were reported in Lesbos while 12 people were sent to Turkey.\n\n“A significant backlog of pending applications and serious delays in asylum procedures have been a major contributing factor to the dangerously overcrowded conditions we see on the islands,” said Boris Cheshirkov of the UNHRC, the United Nations’ refugee agency. “Long waiting times are also contributing to the mental toll that people are facing.”\n\nGreek migration minister Notis Mitarakis has pledged to step up deportations this month.\n\nLast year there were more than 74,000 arrivals in Greece, of which 3,500 were children, the UNHCR reported.\n\nThe Aegean islands of Lesbos, Chios and Samos see the most arrivals.\n\nLesbos is on the frontline of the migrant crisis.

"Yes, mr. Biden agreed to $15 minimum wage. But that was a campaign promise. How often in your life have you seen campaign promises come true? And we must remember mr. Biden is not a progressive. Kamala Harris’s though. As a progressive., I knew going into this election that Joe Biden was a moderate. But all that mattered to me was that we get rid of Donald Trump! And if that meant I had to Rally behind a moderate, so be it. We were successful. We got rid of Donald Trump.\n\nNow that we have succeeded, progressives are wondering where are all of the things that were supposed to be done for progressives! We helped get you the presidency, you have to help us! We want $2,000 checks. We want $15 minimum wage. I want that too, my friends, but I knew going in that that was a dream.\n\nIt is now the day before Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial in the Senate. He will not be impeached in the Senate. We know this. It sucks. But just like the minimum wage, let’s just be happy that he is gone. And if he is allowed to run again in 2024 do not vote for him! If we cannot stop him, let us do it the old-fashioned way. The same way we didn’t let him get a second term. For me this is a no-brainer. And honestly, I’m not that happy about Joe Biden oh, he was my number 8 pick! But we got rid of Donald Trump. And that makes me happy.\n\nWe will see a $15 minimum wage in our lifetime. Remember, we still have Kamala Harris. I am resting my Laurels on her. My Laurels were never resting on Joe Biden. I am so happy he is there. I am so grateful that we defeated Donald Trump! But that was never my goal. I am a true Progressive. And someday I will see the little man get $15 minimum wage."

"Someone apparently doesn’t care enough about an Intel Medfield developer tablet to bother selling it for more than $50. Recent pictures of the slate have surfaced along with something extra to mull over in terms of specifications.\n\nFor those who haven’t been clued in, Intel Executive VP, Sean Maloney was seen elaborating on the 32nm Medfield platform for smartphones and slates among other things, way back in June 2011. A fresh post on Android Community attaches pictures of a tablet using the said mobile processor and SOC. Apart from photos of the device caught in the wild, benchmark results and a few details in terms of specifications have also been leaked.\n\nThe 10.1-inch gadget should arrive with Android Honeycomb and sip off the Intel mobile CPU. Unconfirmed rumors confess that the dual core processor could be clocked at 1.6GHz and also deliver graphics capable of making the Nvidia Tegra 2 chip cry for shame, or something along those lines. It is even said to be capable of outperforming the 1.5GHz dual core Qualcomm S3 processor which has already made its way onto smartphones.",

"Perched along the edges are the usual keys for powering the device on or off and adjusting the volume as well as a headphone jack. Apparently, the slab won’t juice up over USB, but will require a third-party power port. Its base is touted to flaunt three connections, one for the wired power, another for mini HDMI and the last for microUSB. From the sneak shots, it appears to flaunt a pretty thin profile and word in is that it the overall build is balanced off nicely with the weight.\n\nThere’s nothing official on the story as yet. So we’re just going to keep our eyes peeled for more on this front."

"Well! It’s been nearly a month since my last post – far too long. I’ve been busy with things like organizing my bourbon collection (finally) and being sick with a pesky summer flu – still have it in fact, so today’s post will be structured a little differently than usual since I’m not drinking at the moment. However, I haven’t neglected my brown spirits all together, in fact along with some help I’ve made some headway with a bottle of Laird’s Straight Apple Brandy.",
null,
"I’ve had Laird’s before this, but only their Applejack, which is merely their brandy diulted with neutral spirit – really a disappointing venture in all. So I was looking forward to sampling their good stuff. Before going any deeper into this post though, I have to note that the logo for this particular brandy is wonderful, the kind of thing apple brandy distillers should get tattooed on their forearms.\n\nI’ve written a couple times about apple brandies before, with American Fruits and Clear Creek, and the two seemed to represent a range from young & bright to more mature & mellow – as we’d expect comparing any liquor aged a few months to on aged a few years – but each also represented different approaches to the craft: Clear Creek is openly drawing inspiration from the French traditions around Calvados, while American Fruits seemed to be in more of an experimental mode and at the beginning of crafting what may or may not be a lasting line.\n\nLaird’s is perhaps the standard when it comes to American apple brandies and it employs a process very different from those other two products. Instead of aging in limousin oak as Clear Creek does, they use charred American oak and age it six to eight years before bottling. In other words, they follow the same aging process as bourbon.\n\nThe result is a brandy that is, at times, more bourbon-like. It’s a little brighter than Clear Creek’s, but far more apply. Since I’m not drinking it at the moment (much to my dismay), I can’t go into finer-tuned notes, but I can say that at its full 100 proof, it can be a bit much to take. I’ve found adding a bit of water brings out the cider qualities, and adding an ice cube or two makes it into a fine casual dram.\n\nAll in all, I would recommend giving this a try – just avoid their Applejack."

"Becker News reported that 24 state attorney generals issued a collective threat of a lawsuit at the White House in response to the federal vaccine mandate Joe Biden issued by executive order.\n\n“We, the Attorneys General of 24 states, write in opposition to your attempt to mandate the vaccination of private citizens,” read the statement sent to the White House this week.\n\n“On September 9, you announced that you would be ordering the Department of Labor to issue an emergency temporary standard, under the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act , which would mandate that private sector employers require most of their employees to either get a COVID-19 shot, submit to weekly testing, or be fired. Your plan is disastrous and counterproductive. From a policy perspective, this edict is unlikely to win hearts and minds-it will simply drive further skepticism. And at least some Americans will simply leave the job market instead of complying.” warned the AGs.\n\nThe statement continues describe the negative impacts such a mandate will have on their economies and citizens, writing; “This will further strain an already-too-tight labor market, burdening companies and (therefore) threatening the jobs of even those who have received a vaccine….Worse still, many of those who decide to leave their jobs rather than follow your directive will be essential healthcare workers. This is no idle speculation.”\n\nThey gave an example of the consequences that are impacting the healthcare industry, informing Biden that “A New York hospital recently announced its plans to stop delivering babies after several staff members resigned in the face of New York’s mandate. And recent polling suggests those frontline healthcare workers are not outliers. Thus, Mr. President, your vaccination mandate represents not only a threat to individual liberty, but a public health disaster that will displace vulnerable workers and exacerbate a nationwide hospital staffing crisis, with severe consequences for all Americans.”\n\nThe AGs claimed that the mandate does not take into account the different work environments of different employees, accusing Joe Biden of abuse of power, writing; “The policy also fails to account for differences between employees that may justify more nuanced treatment by employers…Most glaringly, your policy inexplicably fails to recognize natural immunity. Indeed, the CDC estimated that by late May 2021, over 120 million Americans had already been infected, and that number is likely tens of millions higher today.4 And your sweeping mandate fails to account for the fact that many workers-for example, those who work from home or work outdoors-are at almost no risk of exposure from their co-workers regardless of vaccine status. A one-size-fits-all policy is not reasoned decision-making. It is power for power’s sake.”\n\nThe legality of the federal mandate is also brought into question in the statement, and alleges; “Your edict is also illegal.”\n\n“You propose to enforce your mandate through the rarely used emergency temporary standard provision in the OSH Act. According to the Congressional Research Service, the Department has attempted to adopt an emergency temporary standard only one other time since 1983 (and that one exception came in June of this year and is being challenged).” wrote the attorneys to Biden.\n\n“An emergency temporary standard does not have to go through notice and comment and can be made effective immediately upon publication. Because of this lack of process and oversight, courts have viewed these standards with suspicion. Between 1971 and 1983, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued nine emergency temporary standards. Of those, six were challenged. The courts fully vacated or stayed the standards in four cases, partially stayed the standards in another, and upheld only one of the six.” warned the AGs.\n\nThe AGs explained in conclusion; “Finally, broadly mandating vaccinations (or weekly COVID-19 testing) for 80 million Americans, simply because they work at a business of a certain size, hardly seems ‘necessary’ to meet any such danger.”\n\nThey warned that; “On the contrary, it is vastly overboard and inexact. There are many less intrusive means to combat the spread of COVID-19 other than requiring vaccinations or COVID- 19 testing. The risks of COVID-19 spread also vary widely depending on the nature of the business in question, many of which can have their employees, for example, work remotely. The one-sizefits-almost-all approach you have decreed makes clear that you intend to use the OSH act as a pretext to impose an unprecedented, controversial public health measure on a nationwide basis that only incidentally concerns the workplace.”\n\nThe attorney generals continued in their statement to insist that discussion is the path to safety, not executive order and coercion from the federal government.\n\n“We thus urge you to reconsider your unlawful and harmful plan and allow people to make their own decisions,” the attorneys asked of Biden.\n\n“If your Administration does not alter its course, the undersigned state Attorneys General will seek every available legal option to hold you accountable and uphold the rule of law.” warned the AGs on behalf of their states."

"Former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes is asking the federal judge overseeing her criminal fraud case to suppress evidence of customer complaints, test results, and findings from a 2016 regulatory agency report related to her now-defunct diagnostics startup because the company’s database containing its own test records was destroyed.\n\nOn Wednesday, attorneys for the former Silicon Valley entrepreneur filed a motion requesting a hearing to resolve disagreement over the failed preservation of a Theranos database that contained the information concerning the company’s consumer blood tests.\n\n“Allowing the government to use customer complaints and testing results and the findings of the CMS Report as ‘evidence of the fraud’ after the government failed to gather and preserve the Laboratory Information System database would violate Ms. Holmes’ right to present a complete defense and to receive due process,” the filing states.\n\nWhile Holmes’ lawyers blame prosecutors for failing to gather and preserve the database, prosecutors blame Theranos for the destruction.",
null,
"Without the database, Holmes' attorneys argued, anecdotal evidence from customers and a report from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a federal agency that oversees laboratory operations, is too prejudicial to her defense. The CMS report, issued in January 2016, alleged deficiencies identified during the agency’s inspection of Theranos laboratory in Newark, California.\n\nHolmes is charged with wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud against Theranos' investors and patients. The charges carry penalties of up to 20 years in prison.\n\nThe database, the filing added, contained evidence that could have allowed Ms. Holmes to rebut the government’s claim that the anecdotal evidence suggests Theranos’ technology was incapable of consistently producing accurate and reliable results.",
null,
"In May, the court denied Holmes’ motion to exclude the anecdotal evidence, saying “[e]ach time a Theranos customer allegedly paid for an accurate and reliable blood test based on Holmes’s representations and did not receive such a test, that experience on its own is evidence of the fraud.”\n\nWednesday’s motion comes on the heels of requests filed by Holmes’ lawyers on Friday, asking for the court to require extra precaution in selecting and questioning jurors.\n\nThe filings — a proposed jury questionnaire and proposed jury instructions — point to the challenges Holmes’ lawyers face in empaneling a jury untainted by the flood of media coverage published on Holmes’ and Theranos’ downfall."

"Pablo Sandoval (48) gestures to a teammate in the dugout as the San Francisco Giants played the Arizona Diamondbacks at Oracle Park in San Francisco Calif., on Monday, September 7, 2020.\nPhoto: Carlos Avila Gonzalez / The Chronicle\n\nAnother of the final threads connecting the Giants to their championship past was severed on Thursday.\n\nThe Giants parted ways with another fan favorite. Pablo Sandoval was released.\n\n“It was very difficult news to deliver and difficult for Pablo to receive it,” manager Gabe Kapler said. “It’s definitely a loss.”\n\nThis time, you can put your Panda hat in the closet for good.\n\nThe unsurprising move came three weeks after the team parted with Hunter Pence.\n\nNow, with Buster Posey opting out for the season, only the Brandons — Crawford and Belt — remain as connections to the World Series titles, to a joy and meaning that seems like another era. Because it was.\n\nAfter the Giants cut loose Pence on Aug. 24, Sandoval, 34, sounded as though he could read the writing on the wall.\n\n“That was tough, he’s my favorite player,” Sandoval said of his old pal. “Having Hunter here was a great memory to bring with me.\n\nThe Giants have said farewell to Sandoval before. After the 2014 World Series, Sandoval left as a free agent and signed a $95 million mega-deal with the Red Sox.\n\nTo say it didn’t go well is a vast understatement. Sandoval torched bridges behind him, undid his reputation as a clutch hitter, became Boston enemy No. 1 and looked to be out of baseball until the Giants tossed him a lifeline after Boston DFA’d him in July 2017.\n\n“It was a learning experience,” Sandoval said.\n\nHe took his medicine in the minors, joined the Giants for 47 games of 2017, made the roster at the major-league minimum in 2018 and played 108 games for the Giants last year before his season was ended by Tommy John surgery.\n\nHe wasn’t part of winning teams in his second stint, but he was a valuable asset, a boisterous clubhouse presence in an increasingly somber environment. A tie to the glorious past. A World Series MVP who had been humbled and who had relearned how to be a good teammate and how to make the game fun. He was willing to do anything, play any position, fill any role.\n\nThe fact that he was on this 2020 Giants team was a bit surprising from the start. Sandoval was closely connected to former manager Bruce Bochy. But with the designated hitter adopted in the National League (one hopes only temporarily), it looked like there could be a place for Sandoval.\n\nBut it wasn’t an easy stretch for Sandoval. He was out of shape when he arrived. He didn’t do much, mainly as a DH, batting .220 with one home run.\n\n“It just wasn’t coming together for him the way he wanted,” Kapler said.\n\nOff the field, it was also tough for Sandoval. Five family members, including his wife and two children, who he said were both high risk, contracted COVID-19, and he couldn’t be with them.\n\n“It was tough,” said Sandoval, whose wife had to go to the emergency room (the family has since recovered). “I was worried. You have things on your mind every day.”\n\nSandoval’s accomplishments and lore and Panda-mania belong to a different time and place. Not to this new era.\n\nThe reconfiguring of the Giants is going better than many expected, though it’s hard to make a truly authentic judgment in this inauthentic season. The Giants are a game over .500, are in a virtual tie for the sixth-best record in the National League, are hitting better than expected and — perhaps most important — have avoided any recent positive tests or quarantining from the coronavirus.\n\nIf the newfangled playoffs were held today, the Giants would get the eighth seed and the honor of playing a best-of-three series in a wild-card round against the top-seeded Dodgers in Los Angeles. The Giants went 3-4 at Dodger Stadium in this tiny season.\n\nThere is still too much of a percentage of this truncated season left — almost a third — to make any predictions. But the Giants have something to contend for and to focus on, and Sandoval will not be a part of it.\n\nHe belongs to a different era. A golden time that he and Pence might chat about while they play “Call of Duty” on an almost daily basis.\n\n“We are family, but when that time comes, you have to be prepared,” Sandoval said recently. “That’s our job.”"

"Last month we were able to get a lunchtime reservation from a cancellation to eat at Jiro Sushi in Roppongi. We booked through govoyagin specifically here:\n\nFor some background we found out about Jiro from the documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi which primarily follows the restaurant in Ginza but the son of the documentary star has a location in Roppongi that we were told is just as good and was mentioned in the film.\n\nThe restaurant is located in a high end shopping area in Roppongi on the 2nd floor. We likely would have been late if there wasn’t some other people there waiting and taking pictures by the sign.\n\nThe inside is a mirror image of his father’s location in Ginza. In the documentary this is explained because he is right handed and his father is left handed.\n\nJiro himself greets you when you are seated and his English is actually pretty good. He says he wouldn’t have bothered learning if it wasn’t for the documentary but now so many foreigners come he needed to.",

"You have the option of 2 menus, either just sushi or sushi and sashimi. We did the sushi and sashimi because the price difference is only about 5,000 yen and when you are already there paying a bunch why not. You are served about 15 pieces of sushi total with soup and the option for more of your favorite pieces at the end. You will not starve that I can promise.",

"The sushi was, hands down, the best I’ve ever had. Generally I tend to not like the egg rolls or the octopus but they both really just melt in your mouth here it was amazing. Before this the best sushi I had was at the Tsukiji fish market and this blows it out of the water. The whole meal just made my day better. Plus Jiro was incredibly nice and conversational through the meal. He was asking us questions about where we are from, what we’ve done, he even made another American in the restaurant remove his shirt to show his tattoos. He even offered to take pictures when it was over.\n\nThe experience was expensive though. For two people it cost roughly 50,000 yen for lunch with sushi and sashimi. Just sushi would have been about 40,000. However, for a one time meal I think it was totally worth it to set a very high bar for sushi in the future.\n\nYou should also check out the documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi currently on Netflix to get an idea of how much this family has dedicated to this craft."

"The Challenge Ahead in Eastern UkraineStop Mistaking Russia for EuropePortraits of Stalin hang in police offices in Putin’s Russia“The God-imposed aim” of Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s lifePlus ca change, plus ce le meme chose?CARNIVAL AS CATHARSIS (OR “GOOD TO REMEMBER”)Ten years have passedDo we need ourselves?\n• Topics / Social and economic rights\n\nNostalgia for the Soviet Union is rising in Russia, falling in Ukraine",

"66% of Russians regret that the Soviet Union collapsed, two percent less than the number of Ukrainians who express no regret. The figure in Russia has reached a record high, not seen since 2000. In Ukraine, on the other hand, there has been a steady fall in those hankering for the USSR since 2010.\n\nGfK-Ukraine reportedly carried out a survey in 2018 which found that 68% of Ukrainians would not want a return to the Soviet Union. The percentage against any Soviet reinstatement was certainly lower in the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts (Donbas), but it was still an absolute majority (54%).\n\nThis corresponds with earlier results reported by the Rating Group Ukraine. In October 2016, they found that 35% of Ukrainians wished that the Soviet Union had not collapsed. Although that figure was slightly higher than in the previous two years, it showed the same trends reported since 2010. This in turn means that the trend is not attributable to the fact that the surveys could not be carried out in Russian-occupied Crimea and the areas of Donbas not under Ukrainian control.\n\nSuch results in Ukraine are likely to be ignored by Russian state-controlled media who expend a lot of time and energy, as well as fakes, on trying to prove how terrible life is in Ukraine.\n\nThe percentage of those hankering for the USSR was higher among respondents who wanted Russian to be adopted as a state language, or official language in particular oblasts, as well as those who wanted Ukraine to join the Russian-controlled Customs Union. It was Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych’s announcement that he was rejecting moves to sign an EU-Ukraine Association Agreement and joining the Customs Union, thus moving closer to Russia, that led to the Euromaidan protests.\n\nRussian analysts are in no doubt that the sharp rise from 58% in 2017 is linked to the extremely unpopular increase in pension age in 2017, and mounting economic woes. According to the Levada Centre, the absolute record (75%) was in 2000, shortly after the major economic collapse of 1998.\n\nIt seems unlikely that economic hardship is the only factor. Back in 2005, Putin called the collapse of the USSR “the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century”. Since then there have been consistent efforts to present the Soviet Union and some of its most murderous leaders, like Joseph Stalin in a positive light, and to minimize their crimes. It is probably not surprising, therefore, that the increase in number of Russians hankering after the USSR is not only seen among those over the age of 55, but also among young people between 18 and 24.\n\nRussian political analyst Alexei Makarkin gives an interesting assessment of the reasons for Russian nostalgia. When the Union collapsed, he says, many Russians were relaxed, assuming that the ties between the post-Soviet republics, and the others’ dependence on Russia for raw materials meant that, even without a formal Union, the republics would reach an agreement. While one of the factors for the sharp increase in idealization of the USSR was the so-called ‘pension reform’, the other, he believes, was events in Ukraine. “At first there was a sense that Maidan was a temporary thing, then the phantom of Novorossya appear. Now, however, they’ve understood that Ukraine won’t return and, if it won’t, then others won’t either. All of this stirs up nostalgia”.\n\nVery many of the programs shown on Russian state television blur the reality of the Soviet era altogether. Russian journalist Andrei Arkhangelsky believes that many people’s real memories are merging with the romanticized version of life in Soviet times that you see in serial after serial on Russian television. This is not even censorship as such, since you probably don’t expect to see people standing for hours in queues in soap box operas, still less people being arrested and sentenced to long terms of imprisonment for expressing their opinions. What Arkhangelsky calls the “heavenly USSR”, as presented in the media, does, however, seriously distort Russians’ image of the past, making it dangerously easy for the regime to manipulate attitudes to the methods used in Soviet times against so-called ‘enemies’ of the regime. This is clearly convenient for a regime that is increasingly using similar methods against its own people, and against Ukrainians in occupied Crimea."

"Jhunjhunwala, who is also known as India’s Warren Buffett, will infuse about $35 million (around Rs 260 crore) and hold about a 40 per cent stake in the airline. Plus, there will be other investors on board too, and the ultra-low-cost carrier plans to have a fleet of 70 aircraft in four years.\n\nThis will be Ghosh’s second coming to the aviation industry after he quit InterGlobe Aviation, the parent company of the country’s largest airline IndiGo, in 2018 after a 10-year tenure as its president and whole-time director.\n\nGhosh was integral to IndiGo’s success. In 2008, he joined the Gurugram-headquartered airline, and under his leadership, it became the country’s biggest airline by market share with a fleet of 160 aircraft, more than a thousand daily flights, and a market share of Rs 55,000 crore, before he stepped down. Its market cap as of Wednesday’s close was Rs 64,168 crore.\n\nCiting one of the people familiar with the matter, ET reported that Ghosh will hold less than 10 per cent stake in the ultra-low-cost carrier and will be a board member (as Jhunjhunwala’s nominee). He went on to add that the airline venture “will be his key focus” but he won’t be a part of the management team. Further, Dube, former Jet Airways boss, will own over 15 per cent and be its CEO."

"Michael J Fox opens up about his Parkinson’s diagnosis\n\nMichael J Fox, who joined Back to the Future’s famous cast after it was virtually already filmed with a different lead character, revealed that it took him a little bit of time to get close to Christopher Lloyd. Despite the chemistry they presented as Marty McFly and Doc Brown in the movie franchise, it wasn’t easy to begin with.\n\nHe continued: “It took me a few films to get to know him.\n\n“On Back to the Future Part III we connected in a way we hadn’t on the other films.\n\n“I came to see how much he loved acting. I never got that before.”\n\n“This guy can play King Lear! People don’t expect that of him. He’s full of surprises.”\n\nThe actors first worked together on the 1985 hit sci-fi flick directed by Robert Zemeckis, a time-travelling tale which has since earned the title as one of the greatest films ever made with two sequels, a musical, theme park rides, and more in its multi-million dollar franchise.\n\n“He can tell a movie’s worth of story in two seconds, and you get it.\n\n“Us regular actors have to lay out hours and hours to get the information out,” Michael remarked\n\n“Chris is brilliant at it. His love of film and his love of being an actor.”\n\nMichael initially wasn’t even supposed to be part of the movie and joined the production only after Robert had filmed with Eric Stoltz.\n\nThe director wasn’t sold on Eric and went on to replace him with Michael, who became known for his leading role as Marty McFly.\n\nBack to the Future, which also starred Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover and Claudia Wells, was made on a $19 million budget and has earned nearly $400 million at the box office.\n\nThe film received an Academy Award for best sound effects editing, and three additional nominations, including the best original song gong for The Power of Love by Huey Lewis and The News.\n\nIt comes as Michael opened up about his personal struggles over the past year, in which he suffered multiple painful injuries and mourned the loss of his mother Phyllis, who died in September at 92.\n\nThe actor, who has battled Parkinson’s disease for more than 30 years, told People magazine that his health challenges have worsened with age.\n\nThe Back to the Future star underwent a risky spinal surgery to remove a tumour on his back, and later broke his left arm in 2018.\n\n“I broke my cheek, then my hand, then my shoulder, had a replacement shoulder put in and broke my [right] arm, then I broke my elbow. I’m 61 years old, and I’m feeling it a little bit more.”"

"Wild West Junction is proud to sit on the Mother Road, Route 66, and in 2016, the highway celebrated its 90th anniversary. There is much said about Route 66, in story, song, movie, and more, but here is one that shares how Williams, Arizona bid its farewell to the Mother Road.\n\nOn a beautiful Fall Saturday, October 13, 1984 – right here in Williams, Arizona – America bid farewell to Route 66. The closing ceremonies took place on the crosses over Grand Canyon Boulevard, the middle exit, on the North side of town.\n\nPeople from all over the country, even the world, were there to pay their respects to a road that had served the people of the continent since 1926.",
null,
"The Major gave a speech as did the dignitaries from around the state of Arizona. Bobby Troup, the man who wrote the song, “Get Your Kicks on Route 66” was there and performed to the delight of everyone present. Even the “Mother Road,” as it is also known, has a past and Bill Williams Mountain Men [in the front of the parade] were there to pay homage to the highway’s roots: The Beale Trail Wagon Road.\n\nAnd still today, on the East end of Williams, visitors can immerse themselves in all that Route 66 was and ever will be for generations to come.\n\nMosey on over to Wild West Junction and get a glimpse of life the way it was in the 1860s and 1870s when the Beale Trail stretched from Fort Smith, Arkansas all the way to the Colorado River.\n\nSit outside or inside and enjoy cowboy “vittles” that are the talk of the town. Live music is heard there most every night.\n\nOther highways came before it. Others stretched farther. Others probably conducted more traffic throughout the country. But no highway gets more recognition or praise than Route 66, America’s first numbered highway, which will turn 90 next year amid a brace of celebrations and the founding of a new organization dedicated to Route 66’s preservation.\n\nThat instant recognition of Route 66 as the Mother Road and as the Main Street of America comes in part from its role in popular culture, from Nat King Cole’s song of the same name to John Steinbeck’s description of it in The Grapes of Wrath to the allusion to it in the 2006 Disney/Pixar film Cars. But the true legacy of the road was essentially baked into its conception and early promotion, thanks in large part to Tulsa-based businessman Cyrus Avery.\n\nWant to Reserve a Room at Drover’s Inn?\n\nWant to book a group or event at WWJ?"

He showed 53 active cases among students and six cases among staff. He noted that the 53 cases of active students were down from 74 on Saturday. But his data also showed that the number of student cases has increased every day over the past week, as have staff cases.\n\nAs of August 1, the school system has registered 109 positive cases among students and 12 among staff. The vast majority of cases were from exposure in the community, not from exposure at school. But in the past two weeks, both categories have risen sharply, with more than 400 students quarantined due to school exposure and 145 due to community exposure.\n\nRice said he knew of staff members who contracted COVID after being vaccinated, including one who had been hospitalized.\n\nRice decided last week that all students and staff should wear masks at school because children under 12 are too young to be vaccinated. “We have to play the cards that are given to us,” said Mike Rogers, board member.\n\nMember Von Robertson said he didn’t like wearing masks “but it’s a necessary step right now to try to bring the numbers down.”\n\n“By the end of this week, we expect things to slow down with the mask wearing,” Rice said. “The masks mean we don’t have to quarantine.”\n\nHe referred to the football matches and other large gatherings over the weekend, especially the Luke Combs concert at the Boone Football Stadium which was packed with nearly 40,000 fans. Things like that make contact tracing very difficult, he said. “I might know who I was sitting next to at church, but not at the Mayflower.”\n\nDr Rice also offered a very understandable illustration of COVID precautions. “For those who say masks don’t work or vaccines don’t work, they’re right,” Rice began. “None are 100% effective. It’s like Swiss cheese. It’s 80 percent cheese, but there are holes in it. But if you stack multiple slices, you don’t see a lot of holes. So masks, social distancing, hand washing, if you pile it all up, you’ve got a pretty good barrier. “\n\nThe council has also spent a good deal of its time discussing how to teach students remotely at these schools that have been quarantined with Dr Sam Jones, principal of West Stokes.\n\nIn other cases, the Board of Education:\n\n● Discussed the late bus problem during the first week of school with new Director of Transportation Matt Tedder. Dr Rice said his own son arrived an hour after school started on the first day after the bus driver got lost. “Transportation is always extremely difficult for the first few days,” he said. “It takes three or four days to calm down. But we’re in good shape now. Tedder noted that there are still several vacancies among bus drivers, but several are in preparation to take the required course. He also mentions that if anyone is interested in becoming a bus driver, contact them. Tedder said the process takes about a month.\n\n● Approved a change in policy that will now allow college cheerleaders to travel out of county to attend non-conference games.\n\n● Approved the plan to improve socio-emotional learning and mental health at school.\n\n● I’ve learned that overall attendance is down about 50 from last year. Transfers into the system stand at 397 new enrollments, mostly in the West Stokes area, while transfers out of schools in Stokes County are at 273.\n\n● Discussion of new General Assembly legislation that includes a requirement that school boards “vote at least once a month on whether the face covering policy should be changed.”\n\n● Received a report from Anna McGee on “Essential Languages for Reading and Spelling Teachers” or LETRS. The program teaches K-5 teachers about the latest research on how children learn to read, which was approved by the state legislature in April. McGee said it would add an additional one to three hours for teachers each week. “I’m worried about this,” Dr Rice replied. “But again, we have no choice on this.”\n\n● Approved an offer of $ 181,300 from AAR from North Carolina to replace the roof of Nancy Reynolds’ gymnasium."

"The European Under-21 Championship is played on the first leg\n\nLive broadcasts and coverage on RTÉ2 and RTÉ2 Player from 6:30pm.\n\nLive match tracker on rte.ie/sport, the RTÉ News app, plus updates and goals on RTÉ Soccer Twitter And the RTE Sport Facebook.\n\nTomorrow will bring a mixture of sunny spells and some fleeting rain in the afternoon. – Ranging from 15 to 17 degrees with light or moderate northwest winds.\n\nJim Crawford traversed a steady path through what is already Ireland’s historic campaign to reach the European Championship playoff in this age group, and the coach did so by selecting a relatively stable team throughout.\n\nHowever, early injuries plagued the tightly knit group ahead of the pivotal play-off against Israel. Liam Kerrigan of Como was one of the trusted lieutenants on either side of the midfield during the final window, but a cruciate ligament injury means the Sligo native will face months on the sidelines.\n\nThe absences of Luca Connell, Mark McGuinness and David Harrington were also confirmed on Monday, with Burnley’s Dara Costello and Anselmo Garcia McNulty of NAC Breda and St. Patrick’s sports duo Adam O’Reilly and David Odomoso filling the quartet’s seats. Midfielder Gavin Kilkenny was among those who were also left out prior to this when the first team was named.\n\nBut much of the focus in the crowd was on including Aaron Connolly. Nearly three years ago, the Gallagher was quickly transferred from Stephen Kenny’s vibrant under-21 squad to the Irish first team after emerging on the scene with Brighton against Tottenham and it looked like a career path that would leave underage international football in the rear view mirror. .\n\nThis is no longer the case with Connolly at the start of what he hopes will be a fresh start at club level with Venice in Italy’s second tier on loan.\n\nBut the 22-year-old’s talent is undeniable and Crawford hopes he will prove to be an alternative card for the Boys in Green, although there is an element of risk to the call-up. As former Dundalk goalkeeper Gary Rogers said this week: RTÉ Football Podcast.\n\ntake I acknowledge the need to recalibrate Earlier this summer, the player said all the right things about the opportunity with the Under-21 team.\n\n“It’s just to show people that I don’t take playing for Ireland for granted,” he said He said this week.\n\n“Maybe some people have had that perception over the past few years. It’s an opportunity to help the under-21 team qualify for the first time ever. [major] Championship and to show people what I can do.”\n\nHistory of making but more on the line\n\nBy reaching a European Championship playoff, the crop has already gone where no Irish Under-21 team has gone before. But reaching the final tournament to be hosted by Georgia and Romania next year would be an incredible feat for a generation that can’t already tap into talents like Troy Parrott, Gavin Pazonno, Nathan Collins and Jason Knight, who, while still qualified, are a big part of the older Kenny. picture.\n\nTalking to RTÉ Sport again in May Ahead of the crucial triple match against Bosnia, Montenegro and Italy that helped secure second place in the qualifying group, Crawford did not underestimate what the major tournament experience would do to develop this wave of youth, citing the example of his illustrious assistant John O’Shea’s club and his international career.\n\n“There is no doubt that we are talking to John about those experiences in those Irish teams who have ever done so well and how they served as a stepping stone to his personal career,” he said.",
null,
"“It was great and I remember the Razmatas all over the country at the time it was happening. It was great and you want to do it again and we have a really good news story for U21s.\n\n“But certainly from the players’ point of view, there is no doubt about that, when you play in high pressure matches against a high-quality European opponent, it will help you to benefit as a player. It will definitely be an incentive for you to go and become the best player possible.”\n\nIsrael is a tough test\n\nOf course to get to next summer’s show, they’ll need to beat Israel on two legs.\n\nWhile Israel has never played in a European Championship at an adult level, past generations of Under-21s made it to the final tournaments in 2007 as well as 2013 as hosts.\n\nThe current crop put Poland second in its qualifying group to finish second behind Germany. The table tops proved too far in both games for the Israelis (one should hardly add the 3-2 loss in Paderborn and the 1-0 defeat at home in March) but apart from those two games and the 1-0 defeat in Latvia, Israel is undefeated otherwise.\n\nThe four points gained against the Poles in two matches were decisive in the end.\n\nTactically, they often played 4-3-3 throughout the campaign including against San Marino last time, while also playing 4-4-2 and 4-2-3-1.\n\nTaking the trip to Tallaght first, their out-of-group record was initially good with 2-1 wins in Poland and Hungary, 3-2 losses in Germany and a routine defeat for San Marino.\n\nBut their last loss was on the road to Lativa. Ireland hopes they can do a similar performance before the boys at Green visit Israel for the return leg on Tuesday.\n\nListen to the RTÉ Soccer podcast on Apple PodcastAnd the spotify or Wherever you get your podcast.\n\nWe need your consent to download this rte-player contentWe use the RTE operator to manage additional content that can set cookies on your device and collect data about your activity.

"Over the past several years, I’ve acquired a pair of Celestron telescopes from the late ’80s and early ’90s, along with some parts and time to “restore” them. Now I’m about ready to use them in earnest, and I think they will be a great pair for outreach events. Let me tell you about them.",
null,
"Purchased for $75 from Craigslist -- several years ago.\n\nThe first telescope of the pair is a Celestron C4.5. This is a Vixen-made 4.5″ f/8 Newtonian on the wonderful Polaris German equatorial mount. I purchased this instrument several years ago from a lady on Craigslist, who didn’t know much about it except that she wanted to get it out of her basement. It needed a lot of cleanup, and I left it stored in pieces after the last round of work on the scope. Recently, though, I put it back together and am now patiently waiting for some good weather to really put this instrument through it’s paces — everything is top-notch on this scope, except for the run-of-the-mill 5×24 finder. It didn’t come with a clock drive, and the original units are long gone from production and hard to come by on the used market. Fortunately, the modern Celestron/Logic drive will bolt right onto the mount and provide RA tracking with just a 9v battery; it’s a no-brainer at $35 and it will arrive soon from Hands On Optics. Until then, the slow-motion knob works well for manual tracking. I took a look at some nice sunspots just today with the included 25mm Celestron Orthoscopic eyepiece and a 5″ Thousand Oaks filter I already had for the old Nexstar 5 (another story for another time).",
null,
"The second telescope of the pair is a 1992 Celestron Classic 8 on the heavy-duty tripod of the day (this was purchased at a swap meet last spring and so I know more about it’s history). I power the AC clock drive from a jump-starter battery pack and a small inverter I had laying around in the garage, and the tracking is very good. Last year I used it a few times for sidewalk astronomy at Bayshore Town Center and it worked out very well. In fact, with the tracking I found myself with more ability to interact with people in conversation while they looked through the telescope, because I didn’t constantly have to interrupt by asking “is it still there?” or moving them away to re-center the object for them. We never have a problem with dew at Bayshore, probably becuase of all the heat from the sidewalk, road, and nearby buildings, so I never had to use a dew shield. Optically, the scope seems to be a winner as well, so much so that I tried using it in the backyard a few times last summer. That 6×30 straight-through finder was a pain to use, though, and I thought to myself I”ll need get a different finder for deep-sky work. Back in the grass, the dew situation was much worse as well. A simple $25 dew shield will help with that (coming in with the Logic drive from Hands On Optics). As for the finder, I managed to acquire the Vixen-made Celestron 8×50 Polaris finder at last month’s swap meet (one year after getting the scope itself), which has now replaced the original 6×30 finder. I’m thinking that 6×30 finder might make it’s way onto the C4.5, but that’s a project for another day.\n\nWhy do I care about these telescopes? What’s the fascination? Well, these scopes represented modern chic in telescopes “back in the day.” I graduated high school in 1989 so both of these instruments stand out in my memory, and appeal to me greatly. Maybe this is my version of a mid-life crisis…I don’t know. But they are a LOT cheaper than a sports car! The fact I was able to rescue them for very reasonable prices (the C4.5 was almost free) and put them into service again is just a wonderful feeling. Using them for outreach, they will introduce hundreds of people to the wonders of astronomy each year. Using them under the dark skies of Harrington Beach, they will take me back to my youth. Simple and effective telescopes such as these have no expiration date.\n\nI prefer star hopping with small scopes, especially in outreach situations, but tracking will allow me to run both scopes at the same time. The dual “classic black” Celestrons should be an awesome pair in this regard. Plus, I think they look really cool and will attract attention on the sidewalk. We’ll see next month when the sidewalk astronomy season begins!"

"Unless you have short-term memory loss, you’ll realize this photo is very, very similar to the one I published at the end of my last post. For those of you who do, in fact, have short memories, here’s that photo again:\n\nI had debated strongly while editing the original photo on exactly how to crop it. Because I wanted to name the photo “Mirrored Glasses“, I decided to include just a smidgen of the brown mirror frame to highlight the title. I also left a bit of the red table mat, because in my opinion it enhanced the reflection in the glasses.\n\nOne of my readers, an experienced photographer, disagreed. He was of the opinion that if I did just a bit more cropping (remove the brown frames and the red at the bottom), I would have a potentially “award winning” photograph.\n\nSay what? How can I ignore a compliment like that?\n\nSo, I re-cropped the photo to remove the brown, but I ultimately decided I really like the red at the bottom. The new title is “Holiday Reflections.”\n\nI’m still not sure which one I prefer. I kind of like the bracketed look of the brown frame in “Mirrored Glasses“, although I admit “Holiday Reflections” is a tighter photo. Is it potentially “award winning“? Maybe, maybe not – but I had a lot of fun with that editing software.\n\nBy the way, for those of you who believe a true photographer should be able to take a perfect photo that doesn’t need editing of any kind, allow me to show you what the original photo looked like (this isn’t the actual original photo, but close enough to give you an idea of what I was dealing with):",

"Totally boring. And crooked. I played with the hue a lot before I found the best effect for this particular shot. You would think enhancing the blue would have worked, but it didn’t. When I hit the green-and-red combination, my heart told me to keep it.\n\nI think I did well.\n\nWhat do you think – do you prefer “Mirrored Glasses” or “Holiday Reflections“? Or do you think I should have just stuck with the original blue-and-white? Leave a comment and tell me why. Just try to be kind when you do so …\n\n(Many thanks [again] to the reader who took the time to write that awesome comment. I value advice from more experienced photographers and writers. I have so, so much to learn!)"

"Tigers pitcher Max Scherzer will be on the mound in the playoff opener Thursday in Baltimore.(Photo: Robin Buckson / Detroit News)\n\nDetroit — For Tigers manager Brad Ausmus, the decision to start Max Scherzer in Game 1 of the American League Division Series was relatively easy. Choosing his starter for Games 2 and 3 was much more difficult, and his decision on which bullpen pieces to put on the playoff roster is on hold because of the uncertainty with center fielder Rajai Davis' health.\n\n\"But Max has had the best year.\"\n\nTigers' manager Brad Ausmus talks about the playoffs before Tuesday's workout at Comerica Park in Detroit.\n\nVerlander will pitch Game 2, David Price Game 3 and Rick Porcello Game 4. Ausmus considered pitching Price in Game 2. Ultimately, he decided that Price would benefit from the extra day of rest more than Verlander would.\n\n\"If we pitch Verlander in Game 3, now you've really stretched him out without him having pitched in a while.\"\n\nAs for the bullpen and the rest of the roster, Ausmus will wait to see how Davis responds after the team's workout in Baltimore on Wednesday. Davis has a strain in the pubic symphysis ligament.\n\n\"At this point Rajai says he feels better, but we're unsure how he's going to feel come Thursday,\" Ausmus said. \"Until we know what his status is, our postseason roster, including the bullpen, will not be set.\"\n\nAusmus has until Thursday morning to submit the roster.\n\n\"If you have Raj, then you probably don't need to pinch hit as much and you might not need as many bench players (which would open up another bullpen spot),\" Ausmus said. \"If you don't have Raj, you might need an extra bench player and that would cut into your bullpen.\"\n\n\"He's only been getting treatment,\" Ausmus said. \"Yesterday he said it felt better, but I could tell by his voice that it didn't feel as much better as he thought it would. Today he seemed a lot more optimistic.\""

VOOC is Oppo’s brand of high-power chargers.\n\nAnyway, the rumors don’t make it clear if that’s 0% to 100% in five minutes (unlikely), just how much battery life you get from five minutes of charging.\n\nUnfortunately, there’s not much else known about the smartwatch, it’s not even clear if it’s Android Wear or not. Still, the leaked image shows a fully round watch with a bezel closer in size to the one on the LG Watch Urbane than the LG G Watch R (and thicker than the Moto 360 bezel)."

"UK: Bitcoin and Ethereum Do Not Require Regulation",

"However, it is worth noting that the regulatory body came to the conclusion that security-tokens and utility-tokens are still within its competence and may be subject to regulation, since the former are similar to securities, and the latter may fall under the classification of electronic money. The same approach applies to stablecoins, but FCA made it clear that not all of them fall under the definition of electronic money.\n\nEven though the content of the crypto assets guide presented by the British regulator closely resembles the widely discussed CP19 document released earlier this year, the report nevertheless provides more clarity in the classification of digital assets.\n\nUK’s watchdog believes that “market participants use the Guidance as the first step in understanding how they should treat certain crypto assets, however, definitive judgments can only be made on a case-by-case basis.”"

"Some dads will truly take extra measures to understand their children. One awesome father decided to put a microphone on his son during the child’s hockey practice so he could find out what the boy was thinking. However, he got so much more than he bargained for and the results are downright adorable.\n\nJeremy Rupke, aka Coach Jeremy, is a hockey coach from Ontario, Canada. The dad revealed that his son Mason recently got into the game and Jeremy wanted to understand the four-year-old’s thoughts while he was on the ice. To do so, Coach Jeremy put a mic on Mason and recorded everything. Not surprisingly, the boy’s ideas were cute and funny at the same time.",

"People couldn’t get enough of Mason’s comments about the game itself or going to “Badonalds” after practice. Needless to say, the video has gone viral for all the right reasons.\n\nCoach Jeremy admits that Mason isn’t always eager to go to hockey practice but immediately lights up once he hits the ice.\n\n“Mason started hockey in October of last year. If he’s in a good mood he loves it and wants to go, if he’s a little tired then he’d rather stay home and play with his toys,” he said, adding that he was pleased to hear the boy’s thoughts. “I was surprised at how positive he was and encouraging as he was trying things out. I was really proud of him.”",

"The British pound is almost unchanged in Wednesday trade. In the North American session, the pair is trading at 1.2995, up 0.02% on the day. On the release front, US employment indicators missed their forecasts. Preliminary Nonfarm Productivity gained 0.7%, short of the forecast of 0.9%, while Preliminary Unit Labor Costs came in at 0.6%, well below the estimate of 1.1%. Later in the day, the UK releases the RICS House Price Balance, which is expected to improve slightly to 9%. Thursday will be busy, with key indicators in both the UK and the US. The UK releases Manufacturing Production, which is expected at a flat 0.0%. The US will release PPI, which is expected to remain at 0.1%. The markets are also expecting unemployment claims to remain steady at 240 thousand.\n\nThe war of words between North Korea and the US has escalated, and the rising political tensions have sent global stock markets lower. Pyongyang has reacted furiously to new sanctions imposed by Washington, and has threatened to attack Guam, which is a major US military base. President Donald Trump is taking a tough line on North Korea, and has promised that any aggression from North Korea will be met with “fire and fury.” With Trump and North Korean President Kim Jong-un on a possible collision course, risk appetite has decreased, as nervous investors have snapped up gold, a traditional safe-haven asset. If the crisis worsens, the pound could take advantage and move higher against the dollar.\n\nThe pound continues to lose ground, as GBP/USD has slipped 2.0% since August 3. On Tuesday, the pair dropped below the symbolic 1.30 level, for the first time since July 21, in response to a strong US employment report. The indicator improved to 6.16 million, marking a record high. This follows the strong nonfarm payrolls report on Friday, as the US labor market remains red-hot.\n\nThe US dollar has managed to hold its own against the pound, but the greenback is under pressure. Paralysis in Washington is weighing on the dollar, as Donald Trump’s antics and the Republican’s inability to pass a healthcare bill in Congress has increased political risk in the US. As well, the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy remains unclear. Earlier this year the Federal Reserve strongly hinted that it planned to raise rates three times in 2017, but has only pressed the rate trigger twice. In June, Fed Chair Janet Yellen shrugged off low inflation, saying that it was due to “transient” factors, leaving the impression that the Fed still planned one final hike. However, inflation has not improved and the Fed has changed its tune. Last week, St. Louis Federal Reserve President James Bullard said he opposed further Fed hikes, warning that another hike would actually delay inflation from hitting the Fed’s target of 2%. The markets have become more skeptical about a rate hike in December, as the odds have fallen to 34%, compared to 43% a week ago.",

"Much has been written about Esmond Romilly, husband of Decca Mitford, in books about the Mitford girls. A lot of it is hearsay, or formed from the unfavourable opinions of his sisters-in-law, and disapproving parents-in-law (Farve referred to him as ‘the BOY Romilly’). So, it is a treat that, for the first time in decades since it was released in 1934 and subsequently went out of print, Esmond’s voice can be heard. Co-authored with his older, equally brilliant, brother, Giles Romilly, the book was written following Esmond’s spell in a remand home. Rebellious and opinionated, the left-wing brothers shocked their Tory family (they were nephews-by-marriage of Winston Churchill) with their Communist views. Published when Esmond was sixteen and Giles eighteen, it is a memoir of their education, peppered with anecdotes about their eccentric home-life. Although it is a quick read, it is fascinating insight to young aristocrats who kicked against the establishment. This re-issued version of Out of Bounds by Umbria Press includes an introduction by Giles’s son, Edmund Romilly."

Being late is never ideal, but it’s particularly embarrassing because I’m meeting Eyal to discuss his new book, Indistractable: How To Control Your Attention And Choose Your Life, a guide to staying focused in an age of constant distraction. The hope is that he will teach me, a chronic procrastinator, how to stop wasting my life scrolling through my phone, and finally write that novel. Or, at the very least, be on time for appointments.\n\nDressed in Tech Dad chic – a crisp button-down shirt and jeans – Eyal already has coffee and looks busy when I burst in. He dropped his daughter off at science camp this morning, he explains, which is why he picked this spot; he hopes it wasn’t inconvenient. And I shouldn’t worry about being late: “Maybe you can use it in your article, as your introduction.” Obviously, I will have time to think of a better introduction, but I thank him anyway.\n\nUntil recently, Eyal was what MIT Technology Review called “Silicon Valley’s most visible advocate of habit-forming technology”. His first book, Hooked: How To Build Habit Forming Products (2013), became a must-read in advertising and tech circles. Eyal has spent the years since helping companies – from small workout apps such as Fitbod, to Microsoft and PayPal – manipulate user behaviour. The “hook model” he developed advocates building a “mind monopoly” by associating a product with internal emotional triggers, such as loneliness or a fear of missing out. The developer’s goal is that people are triggered to use the product “with little conscious thought”. Now that we’re all addicted to our devices, he is bringing out a book that will help us get unhooked.\n\nEyal gets a little defensive when I offer up this analysis. Hooked, he stresses, was about building positive habits; it urged companies to improve people’s lives. He even developed what he called a “manipulation matrix”, a flow-chart that would let companies see if they were using the Hooked model in an ethical way. Further, he says, we need to stop using the word “addicted” when it comes to technology – because most of us aren’t addicted at all; we’re just guilty of overuse. “Addiction, in people’s minds, means mind control,” he says. “When you tell yourself, this is addicting me, this is hijacking my brain… you slough off responsibility. It’s called learned helplessness.” There’s a lot of scare-mongering around technology at the moment, he adds, “particularly from people who want to sell clicks and thrive on the economics of fear”. But the more mundane truth, he says, is that there is “no mind control”. Our brains aren’t being hijacked.\n\n“Hijacking is what happened on 9/11,” Eyal scoffs. “It’s not Facebook – give me a break.” It’s amazing, he adds, that people don’t see that the alarm around tech is just a repeat of a very old storyline. “In the 1950s, fearmongers were saying the exact same thing about comic books, literally verbatim: it’s reducing kids’ attention spans; it’s causing them to commit suicide; it’s leading to mental health issues.” Distraction, he stresses, is an age-old problem that is far bigger than technology. He cites a 2014 study led by professors at the University of Virginia and published in the journal Science: when left alone in a room containing nothing but an electric shock device, 67% of men and 25% of women gave themselves painful electric shocks to pass the time. We go to great lengths to avoid sitting alone with our thoughts or dealing with internal discomfort. If we want to avoid distraction, we can’t just throw our phones away or go on a digital detox; we need to deal with the psychological reasons we’re looking for distraction in the first place.\n\nAnd this, really, is the central thesis of Indistractible: stop blaming technology for your personal failings and start blaming yourself. Fair enough, but isn’t this letting today’s tech companies shirk responsibility? The constant urge many of us to have to check our phones is very much by design. Can we really compare today’s technology, which touches every aspect of our lives, to comic books and TV?\n\nLook, Eyal says, the fact we’re all carrying smartphones means that “distraction is easier than ever to find”. But he stresses that “This doesn’t mean we’re powerless – it means we need a new skill set.” His book contains lots of tactical tips for dealing with external triggers such as smartphone notifications; but, most importantly, he thinks, it addresses the psychological “internal triggers” that tech companies are exploiting. “The big life lesson here is to look for root causes,” Eyal says. “You need to aim to spend a little time with your feelings.”\n\nI promise Eyal that as soon as I leave our meeting I’m going to spend time with my feelings. In the meantime, what’s the quickest thing I can do to stop being distracted? “Timeboxing,” Eyal says. Instead of relying on to-do lists, I should complete an exercise that involves planning out every minute of my week. And by that, I mean every minute: from what time you start eating breakfast to how long you have to socialise with your significant other in the evening. “You have no right to call something a distraction unless you know what it distracted you from,” is Eyal’s mantra.\n\nTimeboxing could even be the answer to gender equality. Eyal says he spent years fighting with his wife about domestic responsibility. He always thought he pulled his weight, until they both did a timeboxing exercise and he realised that “like most women in heterosexual relationships, she was doing more household admin than I was”.\n\nThere are various timeboxing apps and templates out there (including Clockify and FocusList) but I start by using Google calendar to schedule a week full of tasks. Everything, from what time I start writing to when I walk the dog, is neatly mapped out. I allocate two minutes to give myself a pat on the back: finally, I am leaving my procrastinating ways behind. But that’s enough work for today; I’ll get to the really hard stuff tomorrow.\n\nThe new me gets off to a fairly good start. I sit down to work – on schedule – at 9am sharp, and start writing. About 20 minutes in, I get a strong urge to get up and make tea. Eyal has prepared me for this: the first thing to do when distraction hits, he says, is to figure out what’s causing it. “There are only three reasons for a distraction,” he adds. “An internal trigger, an external trigger or a planning problem.”\n\nHonestly, my need for another cup of tea is probably the sign of caffeine addiction; but for the purposes of this exercise I classify it as an “internal trigger”. According to Eyal, the first thing to do when you have an intrusive thought is to focus on the emotion that precedes it and write it down. I dutifully write: “Ugh, I can’t be bothered.” The next step is to spend 10 minutes “surfing the urge” to give in to your distraction, and to figure out why you feel like this. If you still want to give in at the end, then you should just do it. There’s no point, Eyal says, in being “militantly abstinent”. This is not a problem I’ve ever suffered from.\n\nAnnouncing the agenda for TechCrunch Startup Battlefield MENA 2018 in Beirut"

"Background Hariss Harun’s winner against Indonesia last Friday means that Fandi Ahmad’s charges head into their second Suzuki Cup match with the chance to top the group, with Thailand not playing on the second match-day.\n\nThe 1-0 win was regarded in some quarters as an upset and Singapore will carry the tag of underdogs again here, having travelled ten hours to Bacolod via Manila the day after the first game. In contrast, the Azkals will be playing their first game of the tournament and in terms of FIFA ranking, they are 49 places ahead of the visitors at 116th.\n\nThese were salient points raised by Fandi at the pre-match press conference earlier this afternoon at Seda Capitol Central Hotel, but he also asserted that the Lions are hunting all three points.\n\n“During training yesterday, we saw that some of them (our players) are still tired because of the travel but today I saw that they are better, hopefully they had a good rest,” he said.\n\n“We are always thinking positively… They are fresh(er), yes but we have to go at them because if we are playing away and you sit (back) too long, you (will) get punished.\n\n“We will go there and we will chase every ball (because) we want to win.”\n\nFandi also expressed his respect for counterpart Sven-Goran Eriksson, the former England manager who took charge of the Philippines in end October. The 70-year-old Swede, who has coached in China’s top flight, is foraying into this region for the first time and Fandi pointed out that could be a slight disadvantage.\n\n“It’s an honour for me to compete against him, he’s a world-class coach who just came to Southeast Asia and is trying to build a team,” he said. “We know the region better than him, maybe he might not have had enough time to prepare his players but (then again) I am sure his assistant will advise him.\n\n“Tactically, I think he knows what to do even though he doesn’t (really) know the (Philippines) players but for us, we are prepared for any onslaught.”\n\nIn the Indonesia match, high pressing was key to shutting out the opponents but Fandi is aware that the hosts present a different kind of threat, noting their preference to keep possession, their physicality and the “quality” players in their ranks.\n\nBut the Singapore legend is confident that as long as the team replicates their efforts from the first game, they will do well.\n\n“In our last game, I thought we were very solid individually and as a team, we were fantastic because everyone wanted to win every tackle, battle and challenge,” Fandi said.\n\n“We might change our way of playing and playing at a different venue sometimes changes the mood of players as well, but I know mentally we are stronger now than before and more disciplined in terms of (sticking to a) strategy.\n\n“Philippines is a good team now… but in football, anything can happen. We are not afraid to play because we have nothing to lose. This is how we are going to approach the game tomorrow.”",

"His opposite number was keen not to underestimate the Lions despite the apparent gulf in quality on paper, having been “impressed” by what he saw on Friday.\n\n“I am pleased to be here and am looking forward to this Suzuki Cup,” Eriksson said. “I know that we have a good team… I am not worried but we should show a lot of respect to Singapore because they played a very good game, they beat Indonesia and they deserved to win.\n\n“They are playing direct, good football and we have to play very well to win the game.”\n\nThe former Ivory Coast and Mexico manager also dismissed concerns that he would struggle to adjust to his new surroundings, noting: “I lived in Thailand (during my time as technical director of BEC Tero Sansana)…football is more or less the same all over the world. Philippines are an Asian team… but many of these players have (had their footballing) education in Europe when they are young. I am also working with Chris (Greatwich, assistant coach) and Scott (Cooper, senior football adviser) and they know everything about football in this part of the world.”",

"Team News Shakir Hamzah had to come off late on in the Indonesia match but is expected to be fit, with no other injury concerns for Singapore.\n\nBuriram United striker Javier Patino withdrew from the Azkals’ training camp and is unavailable for selection, with Eriksson confirming an otherwise full-strength side. Europe-based Daisuke Sato (Romania) and Neil Etheridge (England) arrive today to link up with the team, though a final 23-man squad is yet to be announced as at the time of writing. (UPDATE: View the 23-man final Azkals team here)\n\nPhilippines’ form The Azkals have won four and lost one of their seven internationals this year, starting 2018 with a five-match unbeaten streak. One of those wins came against Tajikistan at home, which saw them qualify for the AFC Asian Cup for the first time ever. Last month, they lost to the same opponents in the Bangabandhu Gold Cup before holding Oman 1-1 in a friendly.\n\nPast meetings The last meeting between these two countries came in the 2016 Suzuki Cup, where Singapore were held to a 0-0 away draw. The Philippines have not beaten Singapore in any of their six tournament meetings, losing twice. They did win two friendlies in 2012 and the last four head to head encounters have seen only two goals scored.\n\nKeep an eye out for… Faris Ramli had the Indonesians on the ropes with his incisive runs and skilful dribbling and was unfortunate not to score. Fandi appears to have found the solution to his number ten conundrum in the fleet-footed attacker and the 26-year-old will be a potent threat as he supports Ikhsan Fandi.\n\nReturning to the national team fold after two years, Stephan Schröck will pull the strings for the Azkals in midfield and is a force to be reckoned with despite being 32 years of age. The Ceres-Negros man has proven experience in the German top flight and will have to be shackled.\n\nWhat else they said… Faris believes the team has adopted a more offensive approach under Fandi, noting that “the best form of defence is attack”.\n\n“Everyone ranks him (Fandi) highly and I feel he has done really well in terms of shaping the national team,” he added. “There is a good mix of youngsters and experienced players; I feel everyone is motivated under him and will fight for the country.”\n\nAzkals captain Phil Younghusband is excited about both the start of their Suzuki Cup campaign and having Eriksson in charge, which he described as “great” for Philippines’ football. The 31-year-old also acknowledged that expectations will be raised.\n\n“Naturally when you bring in someone of Sven’s experience and coaching calibre… people will expect results straight away but Sven has only been with the team for a month,” he said. “Things take time… hopefully we can live up to those expectations and get those results that everyone has been craving.”\n\nWith a capacity of 20,000, Fandi hopes the players will relish playing in front of a fervent home crowd, saying: “We hope the players are inspired because it’s good to have many people watching; you try to play and do what you can and try to upset them and get a good result.”"

"While the World Heritage Week ended on Monday, the Heritage talk, walk and watch haven’t. This was evidenced at local artist Aarti Patel’s show of her watercolour paintings Breathing The Past which captures the essence of the old Ahmedabad in its myriad forms and settings. Living aptly up to its name while also opening a window on the city in the present derived from its glorious past, this show was opened on Tuesday by artists Amit Ambalal, Natu Parekh and Natu Mistry at The Gallery in Amdavad ni Gufa premises.\n\nComprising of thirty-eight ‘cool’ works for their predominant hues of blue, the show is the third solo for the artist who has earlier participated in local group shows. Aarti has in fact also managed the exhibition of her works through selection by entries in the group shows of the Kosovo, Malaysia and India chapters of The International Water Colour Society; of All India Fine Arts and Crafts Society (AIFACS), New Delhi and Gujarat Lalit Kala Academy on different occasions through the years 2011 till 2019.\n\nStarting to paint as a hobbyist with any available media, Aarti, essentially a home manager has grown to become a water colour loyalist and has been able to find a definitive expression in the medium in keeping with her instincts, thanks to some meaningful mentoring and guidance by four water colour artists, veterans Natu Parikh, Natu Mistry – who is also known for his work about and around the city in the medium – Bhavesh Jhala and Sukhlal Kankaria. It was mostly Jhala who seemed to move her towards anchoring her works around streetscape and urban locales and that led to Aarti finding her niche soon and possibly for long.",

"“Water colours give me patience, happiness and peace; it’s is a form of meditation which calms my mind and I can’t imagine my life without art” says Aarti’s introductory note on the invite. Truly so, the expressive and speaking quality of her works on show, which have the locales, streetscapes and built a heritage of the walled city show up prominently as recurring themes with its darwajas, chabutaras, havelis, temples, et al. She plays with light and shade in her repertoire on show and places all the incumbent, allied and peripheral elements with a keen sense of order and proportion while all of this tends to acquire a contagious quality for creating the same calming effect on the beholders, more so with the ample use of blue in these works followed by golden which shifts the impact on the other side.\n\nWorks like Stable Against Time, Living With the Heritage, Door to Divinity, Narrow Lanes, Walled Existence, etc relate to and portray the typical characteristics of street layout, built heritage and architecture inspired as they are from the known and identifiable landmarks of the city. Other works like Morning Glory, Energetic Morning, Morning Prayers, Sunny Start, Golden Sunshine, Midday Vibes, Highlight of the Day, Gloomy Day, Cloudy Day, etc emanate from the artist’s visual imagery about different time-zones of the day as seen and experienced in a typical pol or street of the city; as also from moods on given days that change from energetic and cheerful to gloomy and melancholy in the afternoons, whereby you find a certain chronology, growth and evolution from one to another and a definite connectedness of city life in most of the works displayed at the show by Aarti.",
null,
"The works displayed in the show not only put you in the thick of the city culture and environment but also give you the typical feel of what watercolours on paper or handmade paper can do to visual aesthetics, more of it on the transparent and luminous side in this case. A series of soft, soothing and relatable works with what becomes familiar content and eventually an impressive show; this is on till December 01 between 4 and 8 pm."

"The cover of “A Line to Kill” by Anthony Horowitz.\n\nAnthony Horowitz is one of the world’s greatest mystery writers, and arguably, the greatest living Jewish author of mysteries.\n\nHis original works are worldwide best sellers, he’s been hand-picked to continue the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and James Bond, written countless hours of television, and is the author of the best-selling Alex Rider series. In addition to his boundless talent and productivity, he’s also given back both to his readers and the community at large.\n\nAhead of the release of his latest novel, “A Line To Kill,” Horowitz spoke to The Algemeiner about his career, his inspirations, and his faith and upbringing.\n\nDavid Meyers (DM): Your book “The Magpie Murders” is what single-handedly got me back into reading. I now read about 50 books a year, and it was all because your book reminded me how much fun reading can be.\n\nDid the success of that book take you by surprise? You’ve already written a sequel (with a third on the way), and the property has been adapted for television. Why do you think the idea of a classic mystery novel embedded in a current one resonated so strongly?\n\nAnthony Horowitz (AH): Well, first of all, I’m delighted “Magpie” got you back into books. And I also like the f-word (fun) used to describe what I do. I think “The Magpie Murders” worked because it offers all the tropes (and the comfort) of a golden age detective story but with a very modern twist — which makes it relevant. Also, as far as I know, this is a new format: the mystery inside a mystery. Or two for the price of one.\n\nDM: The “classic” detective you created in that series — Atticus Pünd — is a Holocaust survivor. Can you speak to why you made that decision, and do you have any personal history with the Holocaust?\n\nAH: Despite my family background, I have no personal connection to the Holocaust. I decided that Pünd should have been in a labor camp because I wanted to make him a more serious character than — say — Poirot or Wimsey. Murder is, after all, an evil – and Pünd has first-hand experience of what evil really means.\n\nDM: Your current book, “A Line To Kill,” is part of another ongoing series, headlined by Detective Hawthorne and yourself.\n\nI can’t think of many other writers who’ve created a fictional version of themselves to serve as the “Watson” to a Sherlock Holmes-like detective. How did the idea come about? And how would your friends and family compare the Anthony Horowitz we see in print to the real one?\n\nAH: When my publishers asked me to write a series of detective stories, my first thought was — who is the detective? Is he (or she) English or foreign? Fat or thin? Married or single? Gay or straight? Does he/she have a drink[ing] problem? A phobia? But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that everything had been done.\n\nSo then I started looking at the relationship between the detective and the sidekick, and it occurred to me that if the author became the sidekick and had to write from “inside” the mystery, it would change everything. For example, if the detective didn’t solve the crime, there would be no book. Suddenly, I saw that I was going to write something completely new and that had a lot of appeal for me.\n\nDM: You’re quite active on social media and have a dedicated fan base. Do you think that the fictional version of you has made readers feel like they know you better? And how do you have the time to be so interactive, given your productivity?\n\nAH: I have a very happy relationship with my followers on Twitter. No politics! No insults. Nothing negative. I’d like to think that the Hawthorn books do allow people to know me a little better, although at the same time, it’s important to acknowledge that I’m not the hero of the books. I’m only the narrator. These books aren’t about me!\n\nDM: The Atticus Pünd books take place in the post-war period, and your TV show Foyle’s War obviously does as well. Does this period have personal significance for you? And how much research do you typically do when writing about a period other than our own?\n\nAH: I was born in 1955, so I did have some connection with World War II. My nanny, for example, lost her fiancé in the Battle of Britain. Rationing only ended in 1953! I also lived in Stanmore, which was the HQ of the Royal Air Force. I’ve always had a fascination with the period and how people behaved them — but I don’t think the war impacts on Atticus Pünd too much. What’s more important is that he’s a foreigner, an immigrant … an outsider.\n\nDM: Your Sherlock Holmes novel “The House of Silk” is one of the best Holmes novels I’ve ever read. You’re also currently writing your next James Bond novel. When you’re writing a Holmes or Bond book, do you typically re-read any of the source material to immerse yourself in the style/vernacular of that series?\n\nAH: Well, thank you for that. Yes, I always read the whole canon before I start writing. And the whole idea is to immerse myself 100%. I finished the new Bond just a week ago and I’m really pleased with it. I hope you agree.\n\nDM: You’ve also written plays. Do you have a new idea for a play that we might see on the London stage sometime in the future?\n\nAH: I would like to write another play, although I’ll be honest and admit that my plays have never quite had the success I’d hoped for. I thought “Dinner with Saddam” was a really interesting and worthwhile piece of theater. Sadly, many critics disagreed.\n\nDM: Finally, being a Jewish publication, our readers would love to know: how your faith, family history, and upbringing influence both your writing and the message that you hope your books bring to the world?\n\nAH: I’m afraid to say that I was never religious. Partly as a result of my Sunday school visits to the Reform synagogue in N. London (where I was a slow learner), along with my parents less than keen encouragement, I did not have a bar mitzvah and do not attend any services now. That said, being Jewish has always been an important part of my identity … I’d go further and say that it’s at the very heart of my creativity. And of course, I absolutely adore Jewish food!"

"It wasn’t very long ago that media reports were pointing out that digital music sales had surpassed physical sales for the first time. In April, figures from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry revealed that global digital sales at $6.85 billion had overtaken physical sales, at $6.82 billion in 2015.\n\nBut things may not be as straightforward as you think. Increases in the purchases of CDs and vinyl in Britain indicate that online streaming is encouraging a renewed interest in over-the-counter buying of music that many people assumed would soon be a thing of the past. Research shows in the UK 40 percent of music purchases continue to be CDs and vinyl, amounting to £500 million annually. Vinyl sales have risen 50 percent in 2015, and over the past eight years, they have seen a tenfold increase.\n\nThe main reason for this identified by the British Phonographic Industry research seems to be improved sound quality, as well as the opportunity to own a personal copy of a favourite artist’s work. They suggested that a growing number of people are using online streaming to get to know new music, before deciding on their purchases.\n\nThis by no means suggests that people are turning away from streaming. The number of tracks streamed in the UK will nearly double in 2016 from last year, up from 13.5 million to 25 million."

"Big Bad Bonnie was the first B-25 I ever saw flying. Back in the early '80s at Stapleford in Essex. When Kitsworld produced the decals I new I had to build one.\n\nThis one came up on eBay for a very good price so I snapped it up. The build went OK but it was one of those models where I had bad luck along the way. First of all I accidentally poked the seats out after the model was already finished. This meant I had to get them back in through the turret opening , then the dog got hold of the nose glazing and cracked it. Luckily my friend had a spare one, then one of the scratchbuilt exhausts fell into the rear of the engine, which meant I had to pull the engine off to get it back out.\n\nThe model has been modified to represent the TB-25, so I had to remove some exhaust stubs form the cowlings and make a new exhaust. The hardest part was scratchbuilding the new taller squarer carb intakes.\n\nIt is fitted with SAC metal legs. I had seen and heard bad things about these but mine were perfect. The nose weight is the Profimodeller one but I needed to add more to it so be aware! Wheels are the superb Brassin one. Prop blades are loon models and of course the decals from Kitsworld."

"Knights Templar\nKnights Templar is the faction which focuses on battle. Player who choose this faction will receive more troop’s attack power (but also consume more population) and ability to train more troops than any other. Moreover, their infantry and mage have a bit more attack power than other factions.",
null,
"Ibero Alliance\nIbero Alliance has a great characteristic of science. Their advanced technologies allow them to build the strong fortress and fortified wall. Their towers and traps are also very effective. Although this faction focuses on defense, don’t underestimate their aggression because their cavalry have good attack power and speed as their main features.",

"note:\nThis is just an instruction and guide. The game system will arrange the balance for each faction and will affect the gameplay in the future. For example, Rhine’s high production rate allows them to quickly expand their town and have enough resources to train troops at the beginning. But at the middle of the game, they are quite adverse to Knights Templar and Ibero Alliance which focus on fighting."

"10 years after its limited release, this pop star Stuff Pack has been brought back by CC creators and Katy Perry fans!\n\nOn June 2nd, 2012 history happened. At least when it comes to The Sims Series.\n\nThe first ever star-focused Stuff Pack was released for the franchise. Just shortly after the release of a special, Collector’s Edition for The Sims 3 Showtime Expansion Pack.",
null,
"Just a few months after, The Sims Team did an unexpected thing by releasing an entire Stuff Pack inspired by Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream era. The release of The Sims 3 Katy Perry Sweet Treats in June 2012 was a love-hate situation.",
null,
"Many fans of The Sims didn’t know why was an entire Stuff Pack needed for a huge celebrity.\n\nPersonally I didn’t question it a lot. I was a fan of both Katy’s music and The Sims. I was also 14 back in the day so everything shiny, sparkly and new immediately caught my positive reaction. Especially if it’s a collaboration of two of my favorite interests.\n\n10 years after, the Sims community learned how to love this Stuff Pack. Or at least appreciate the collaborative, ambitious efforts to make it happen.\n\nThe Katy Perry Sweet Treats Stuff Pack was sold for $30USD, unlike other Stuff Packs for The Sims 3 which were $20. The pack contained more items for both Create A Sim and Build Mode unlike any other, so that could be the reason why.\n\nAnd the fact that it was a celebrity endorsment that unfortunately lasted only for a year. The Katy Perry contract was probably signed for a year, after which the Stuff Pack got pulled back from the retail store shelves and digital retail sites like Origin.\n\nOn July 15, 2013, a Community Manager for EA confirmed that this stuff pack has been retired and is no longer available on Origin. Therefore, EA will not produce any more physical or digital copies of Katy Perry’s Sweet Treats. Unused game codes for the pack can still be used to add the game to one’s Origin library.\n\nTo this date people are still finding physical copies of The Sims 3 Katy Perry Sweet Treats across the world for a small price. Some are sealed – meaning that you can still register the Pack and download through Origin. While some are unsealed and let you only install it through the provided Disc.\n\nEither way, an iconic era for both the fans of The Sims and Katy Perry.\n\n10 years after, Littledica, talented CC creator for The Sims 4, among with other CC Creators and players have managed to revive and expand the Build Mode catalog of Katy Perry Sweet Treats!",
null,
"The main creator of this Custom Content set has worked about 3 months on this project. Making sure that the objects are converted properly for The Sims 4 and fit the Maxis Match aesthetics of the game.\n\nWe asked the creator of this set about who else was involved in the project. Turns out it was created by none other but fans of The Sims, fans of Katy Perry and both!\n\nWant to see this Custom Stuff Pack in action? Check out the amazing trailer preview created for Katy Perry’s Sweet Treats below:\n\nLittleDica has listed an entire set of objects included with The Sims 4 Katy Perry’s Sweet Treats CC Set, including:\n\nFrom ice cream ceiling lights to peppermint bikes, your house has never been so sweet! This collection of mouth watering build and buy items, inspired by Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream album, will bring a delectable look to your rooms and a delicious vibe.\n\nThis set is a reproduction of The Sims 3 Katy Perry Sweet Treats build and buy items, but not CAS items. The set contains 79 objects and build tools, some of which also offer new gameplay features thanks to the amazing Ravasheen!\n\nThis set contains items created from scratch following the original designs in the The Sims 3 Pack, plus some new original objects designed by Luddy Simmer!",

"Littledica has also included a screenshot preview of some of the new objects in-game. Check out the Magnolia Blossom Park in Willow Creek – now with 100% more sugar.",

"The sun was just starting to peek over the horizon. The road I was on is bordered by lots and lots of trees and there were patches of very dark shadow. I didn't see the dog till I was almost on top of him. He was standing partially in the shadow of huge tree and with his coloring blended in perfectly. When I did spot him I wasn't too concerned, I run into dogs all the time at this hour on this road. Most just look at me and go back to their business. This one was different. I noticed that his head was low, even with his back. Not good. I then noticed that his tail was lowered. Definitely not good. Then I noticed the eyes. They were locked on me and nothing was going to break his concentration. Realizing that this was a Border Collie and their instinct was to herd things and I was moving at a rapid rate made me a little nervous about the next few minutes. I had visions of a dog entangled in my wheels as he tried to nip them to herd them. This was not going to be good. I was going too fast and was too close to the dog to stop or change directions. As I got with 10 feet of him I could hear the growl emanating from deep in his throat. Oh My!!! Then I saw his shoulder muscles bunch up and I realized he was getting ready to launch himself at me. Definitely not good. I did the only thing I could think of. I yelled \"NO\" in a loud, deep, commanding voice. It worked. The dog didn't move a muscle and I went flying by. But for a few minutes it sure had me scared.\nat July 24, 2008\n\nWhew! Glad that had a happy ending :)\n\nThat would have scared me, too! Ever consider pepper spray?\n\nWow! I'm impressed! I would have been freaking out and not kept my wits to be able to think quickly like that.\n\nI visited your blog. It is very nice and informatics post. So thanks for sharing this information."

"In 2008, Tyson Twait took a job as an accountant for an Owatonna company called Central Valley Co-op. Six months into the job, he had the grim task of breaking bad news to one of their best customers: He’d gone over their numbers with a fine-toothed comb and even checked every number twice, three and four times. Their financial records just weren’t adding up.\n\nTo help guide the company back to a place where it could pay its bills, Twait came on as a temporary bookkeeper. But during the second month he was there, Twait spotted an accounting error that revealed a stark and painful reality for the company. They were bankrupt.\n\n“That’s hard news to break to a company owner. But I think he knew it. Piecing it all together, there was kind of a sickening feeling on both sides,” Twait says. “I had to foreclose on our largest customer, giving me a very quick MBA in the real world.”\n\nFast forward a few years and Twait, after a successful accounting career at various southern Minnesota companies, is the new CEO and president of Dotson Iron Castings in Mankato. He takes over for outgoing 45-year company veteran CEO Jean Bye, who had taken over for Denny Dotson, a titan of the small foundry world whose family has been involved in the company’s ownership since the 1940s. (Both Bye and Dotson remain close by, with Bye taking over as executive chair of the company’s board of directors, and Dotson never more than a phone call away.)\n\nTwait takes over during an interesting period for any business. With the COVID-19 pandemic producing a volatile business climate, change seems in the air for every industry. But Twait is no stranger to change.\n\nHe was born and raised in Emmetsburg, Iowa, a town of roughly 2,500 people.\n\n“We have both stop lights in the county,” he says with a note of ironic pride.\n\nBut athletic training wasn’t for him, and he transferred down the river to Minnesota State University, Mankato where he studied mass communications and marketing. He’d planned on going to law school, but those plans … changed. After working for a brief stint with his father in the financial world, he decided to enroll at Gustavus again — where his wife was now a faculty member — and get an accounting degree.\n\n“I knew I needed to do something to get back into the workforce,” Twait says. “People said, ‘Go get an MBA.’ But I thought I should do accounting because that’s something tangible, and Gustavus paid for it.”\n\nIf you’re thinking accounting is a far cry from athletic training and mass communications, you’re not wrong. But Twait is the kind of person who is curious about everything. He’s also the kind of person who happened to be good at most school-related things. Writing and words came easily, he says. So did numbers and math.\n\nBut even though he likes numbers and math, he couldn’t see a future hunkered down over balance sheets tallying debits and credits. So, instead of becoming a Certified Public Accountant, he chose the Certified Managerial Accountant track, which keeps his work with numbers focused more on the big picture — how the numbers contribute to the overall success and health of a particular business.\n\nHe then started working for Ridley, Inc. in Mankato. A few years later, he took that job in Owatonna where he had to share the bankruptcy news to the company’s biggest client. He learned a lot from that experience, though.\n\n“You go through school, and you’re moving numbers around, and moving debits and credits and what not,” he says, “and then you get into something like that and everything is moving so quickly that you’re having to react and really rely on common sense and logic — but you’re still using that financial background and how it relates to individuals and people. It taught me that sometimes when you’re moving numbers around on a piece of paper, people can get a little lost.”\n\nPrior to his transition to Dotson, Twait had returned to Ridley and was promoted to Chief Financial Officer. A few years later, when Ridley’s parent company, Alltech, made some organization changes, Twait left. Then, in the summer of 2018, a few members of Dotson’s leadership team reached out to Twait to see if he’d be interested in becoming their new finance manager. After reading news accounts of how well Dotson treats its employees and how well regarded the company is in the community, he agreed.\n\nA few years later, he made another move — an internal, upward move.\n\nBecause CEO Jean Bye was preparing her exit from the day-to-day operations, Denny Dotson thought Twait, despite having relatively little experience in foundries or castings, might be the right man to lead the company into an uncertain future.\n\n“As I’ve watched Tyson interacting with employees, I notice he has the ability to ask incredibly good questions, and that’s the job of the CEO,” Dotson says. “We have highly talented technical people, many of whom have been with us for years.”\n\nFrom a business standpoint, Twait says he felt comfortable quickly. And while he’s still learning the industry, he’s confident that the people with decades of experience who understand every nuance of the industry won’t let him fail.\n\n“It’s not like anyone’s looking to me to solve anything,” he jokes.\n\nTwait says he’s been inspired to learn more about Dotson’s standing in the foundry world.\n\n“When you start visiting other foundries, other competitors, it really comes through that, wow, I guess we really do have a pretty good shop and really high-end things here.”"

"Cheney is accused of making Gitmo harder to close",
null,
"The Politico's Jeanne Cummings is complaining that former VP Dick Cheney is playing politics with Guantanamo and making it harder to close. Since Obama wants to bring some of the terrorists to America, most people should support Dick Cheney's elevation of this issue. It is very unfair to accuse him of playing politics. The funding to close Gitmo was defeated in the Senate by 90-6. Why was dissent patriotic in the Bush era and obstructionist during the Obama Presidency?\n\nThe Politico's Jeanne Cummings, a veteran of the Wall Street Journal, fretted on this weekend's Inside Washington that former Vice President Dick Cheney has “changed this debate in a way that has made it much, much harder to close Guantanamo, which the President is already committed to doing.” So he's done an awful thing in daring to oppose something President Obama is “committed to doing.” Dreadful!\n\nIn fact, she soon charged that in complicating Obama's intention to close Guantanamo -- which Obama had announced without any plan for where to place the detainees -- “Cheney really did damage to the effort to keep our country secure by turning this into a political issue. We were going to have to deal with this and to make it a political issue is not helpful. It's just not.”\n\nTo which a befuddled columnist Charles Krauthammer retorted by pointing out the overwhelming bi-partisan vote to block the closing: “Cheney is the one who turned it into a political issue? I thought it was a 90-6 vote in the Senate. Just about every Democrat in the Senate-” Cummings jumped in to blame Cheney for turning virtually every Senate Democrat against Obama: “No, Cheney started making political arguments a week ago. That is when you did start to see the tide turn up on Capitol Hill. It was after Cheney started to talk about 'I don't want to be the Member who says I brought a terrorist to a jail in my district.'”"

"Capaldi is really seizing his role this season. The story kicks off with the first episode introducing one of the Doctors greatest enemies in the most vulnerable moments of his life and how the Doctor teaches mercy to the most ruthless killers in the Universe. Once again showing us the great man the Doctor is. Many more linked episodes (barring one) in this season, lots of cliff hangers which wasn’t too bad if you waited a few weeks to watch them all together, but come on who here didn’t watch the episodes the day it aired!",
null,
"It was definitely more of a dangerous run, as this partnership of Doctor and companion take greater risks, most likely due to the fact of what they have both lost and just how much it takes for them to feel alive. Don’t we all wish the Doctor would come and take us away but that’s a post for another day.\n\nThis season has definitely been another good one, introducing new monsters and not forgetting the old ones. Though I personally liked the writing of the stories in the last season a little better. As we knew it was Capaldis’ first season so the Doctor and Clara would be getting to know each other and there was no question of whether Clara would be leaving. But with this season we all knew that Clara would be leaving us and there was that constant fear of ‘will it be this episode.’ The whole thing had a touch and go feel to it and to be honest it does get a little tiring but also when the inevitable does happen, you don’t expect it.\n\nHe makes someone immortal in this series, I won’t say who but truly immortal and making it look pretty easy to do. The Zygon episodes were well written and the Doctors words on war and violence were definitely the best of the season and wise words for the time we are currently living in.\n\nThe final three episodes were a continuation of the same story but in an almost confusing way. I have to ask, who was hoping in ‘Face the Raven’ they had stumbled across Diagon Alley? No..?\n\nKeeping it spoiler free, mostly.. ‘Face the Raven’ was a sad episode, the last three episodes in general were quite sad, as they do tend to get towards the end of the season.\n\nFinally, I LOVE Doctor Who.. But I was left impressed and unimpressed with the end of the season. The idea that one forgets the other is definitely a good one, no complaints there. Gallifrey is back! Woohoo! So the Doctor is no longer the last of the time lords.. fine, I can live with that. But the fact that there is now an immortal who is technically completely immortal unlike the Timelords who have a finite number of lives. The field medkit was used on a human, this ‘character’ was also there at the end of all things. That’s same medkit was used on another character too, where was he/she/it?\n\nNot to mention two non time lords nicked a TARDIS from Gallifrey!\n\nWhat happened to needing SIX time lords to pilot a TARDIS. The exception being the Doctor because the Doctor is freakin exceptional!\n\nSo yeh, that’s my only qualm with the season ending. It just takes away from the exclusivity of travelling with the Doctor and who doesn’t dream of doing that one day."

"The German automaker has the largest share of the electrified market worldwide.",
null,
"The BMW X5 iPerformance model is an electric-gas hybrid that is the top-selling hybrid in the world. It is produced at the BMW plant in Greer.(Photo: Contributed)\n\nMUNICH — The BMW Group issued its latest sales reports early Friday, and electrictrified vehicles — though still a fraction of total vehicles sold — are leading the German automaker's growth figures for the year.\n\nBMW has nine fully electric and plug-in hybrid models in its fleet, including the hybrid X5 that the BMW manufacturing plant in Greer produces.\n\nTotal sales of the nine electrified models in 2017 hit 68,687 by the end of September, a 64 percent increase in year-to-date totals over 2016, according to the automaker. Of those sales, 10,631 were South Carolina-made BMW X5 plug-in hybrids, wrote BMW spokeswoman Emma Begley in an email. The X5 is the only electrified vehicle currently in the X-model fleet.\n\n\"According to the BMW Group, the company has about 29 percent of the global (electrified vehicle) market,\" BMW Manufacturing spokesman Steve Wilson said last month. \"And BMW has announced that the all-electric X3 is coming in 2020. That will be built here in Spartanburg.\"\n\nBMW sales worldwide — including all gas and electrified models — came to 1.8 million by the end of September, a 3.7 percent year-to-date increase over 2016 and the best-ever total sales for BMW by September of any year. Meanwhile, sales of the company's electrified vehicles in the first three quarters of 2017 have exceeded those achieved in the whole of 2016, according to the automaker.\n\nOverall sales were strong, according to BMW, despite production slowdowns as the Greer plant changes over to the new BMW X3 model, which the company unveiled in June. Production of the X3 was expected to hit full volumes this fall.\n\n“We are pleased to see the ongoing, strong sales development of our unrivaled range of electrified vehicles, with independent reports confirming our leadership in the field of electromobility,” BMW's board member for sales and branding Ian Robertson said in a statement from the company.\n\nAccording to Robertson, The BMW Group has the largest share of the electrified market worldwide. Much of its growth this year can be attributed to increasing availability of the BMW 5 Series plug-in hybrid, he said.\n\nThe company's goal for 2017 is to sell 100,000 fully electric or hybrid electric vehicles, according to its 2016 annual report, and the automaker says it is on track to hit that mark.\n\nThe BMW X family, manufactured primarily in South Carolina, remains a strong growth driver for the company as a whole, according to the automaker. Total BMW X sales were up 12.5 percent — 522,360 vehicles — in the first nine months of the year."

"The ethnic and religious composition of many modern societies has been dramatically changed by global modernisation. These demographic changes are having a major impact across many spheres of life, including the workplace, neighbourhood environments, schools and nations. More than ever before, our communities are changing in terms of their ethnic and religious composition. Societies and individuals are facing new challenges as they engage with (or sometimes avoid) people from different backgrounds, faiths and beliefs.\n\nThese changes have had many positive effects – such as filling important gaps in the labour market and challenging cultural insularity. But they have also fuelled growing tensions and division, illustrated by Donald Trump’s most recent race controversy. Social diversity is a global issue – and it has contributed to major geopolitical events such as Brexit and the fractious nature of the European refugee crisis.\n\nAcademia has reacted to these changes with growing concern about the implications of social diversity. Much has been written about this topic, but one major question remains unanswered: are human beings able to adapt to this unprecedented change in social diversity?\n\nTheory on human evolution and social diversity largely contends that the human brain has evolved a predisposition to protect “our” own groups, as survival was dependent on cooperation with members of that group. Survival, according to this view, depended on protecting the group from the potential dangers posed by unknown others – who were approached with caution. This is perhaps the reason why research has found that trust and social cohesion are lower in diverse communities and why, in experimental labs, individuals interacting with unknown members of a different social group show increased stress and anxiety.\n\nIt is generally accepted that these predispositions play a role in the formation of groups and the societal structures we live in. But we believe that they might be incompatible with fast-changing societies, where people living in mixed neighbourhoods are having contact with new cultures, norms and values.\n\nYet despite this orientation towards protection of the groups we belong to, we see that cooperation is often extended to other groups. Indeed, biologists and anthropologists have long believed that humans fared better than other species because contact with “unknown others” brought about a variety of benefits that cannot be attained by interactions exclusively with members of our groups. Examples include increased genetic diversity owing to intergroup mating, sharing of knowledge and information, and access to new resources.\n\nAt first glance, protecting our own group seems to be at odds with approaching unknown groups, who might be friends or foes. But we believe that humans juggle these two tendencies at different points in time during exposure to social diversity. While the tendency to protect our own groups might emerge initially upon first contact, with time, individuals start to show an orientation towards mixing. In doing so, they extract benefits from these interactions. For these reasons, we hypothesised that initial contact resulting from diversity may prove challenging, but that these challenges should be overcome with time.\n\nTo test these ideas, we conducted a large and ambitious study examining 22 years of publicly available psychological, sociological, and demographic data from multiple waves of the World Values Survey, the European Social Survey, and the Latino Barometer. Together, these three datasets included more than 338,000 respondents interviewed in 100 countries across the world.\n\nWe used this data to analyse the short- and long-term effects of religious diversity on individuals’ perceived quality of life across time.\n\nWhy is this the case? To answer this, we examined the psychological mechanisms involved in these processes. We found that the initial negative effects were being driven by a reduction in trust of others around them in countries, with increased religious diversity. But after a period of four to eight years, individuals started to report mixing with people from different backgrounds, which improves their trust in others, promoting a positive impact on their quality of life. Importantly, the initial negative effect, whereby diversity was associated with reduced trust, was fully cancelled out by the positive effect of mixing with members of different groups.\n\nOur findings show that, despite initial resistance, humans can cope with the documented challenges of diversity. They also show that, by focusing only on the short term, we may draw an inaccurate, pessimistic conclusion about the impact of diversity. An increase in diversity offers the opportunity for members of different groups to engage in contact, get to know each other, and cooperate. And when this occurs, this positive effect of diversity trumps the initial challenges."

"For once, it was not a MTA failure that caused drama in SUBWAYblogger’s morning commute. This time, it was BlackBerry!\n\nAs you may or may not be aware at this point, SUBWAYblogger writes most posts from the subway while actually riding the trains. Then, the posts are published remotely via BlackBerry.\n\nBlackBerry had some major issues today. Most New Yorkers were without their hip-mounted friends for most of the day. Actually, the problem started around 8pm yesterday!\n\nBut I guess there’s worse things than a lack of subway related postings. The Canadian Parliament almost came to a screeching halt today. Politicians were throwing their handhelds against the wall.\n\nCan you imagine Wall Street? People were probably wandering around like zombies, not knowing what to do with their lives!"

"BADEN, SWITZERLAND -- Fantoche, Switzerland’s largest animation film festival, will be held for the 14th time in Baden September 6-11, 2016. In addition to the international competition, Fantoche takes a philosophical look at the conditions of human existence with its “Humanité Animée” program while the Fantoche Industry Day transforms Baden into a national rendezvous for professionals from the fields of animation, interaction design, multimedia, advertising and game design.\n\nCulture reflects all aspects of human existence, worries and fears, joys and sorrows, highs and lows, successes and failures. Animation film makers play an important role in this reflection, as highlighted by the Humanité Animée program.\n\n“It is important for us to highlight the philosophical scope of this topic while also emphasizing humor and entertainment, thus establishing a program which will leave a lasting impression on the audience,” said festival director Annette Schindler commenting on the Humanité Animée program.\n\nThe Industry Day brings together artistic and entrepreneurial creativity and acts as a national platform for the creation of animated films in Switzerland. The interdisciplinary symposium showcases national studios, international case studies and the most successful animation campaigns. It also offers excellent networking opportunities for professionals and newcomers.\n\nFollowing the first successful edition of Industry Talk 2015, the podium discussions have been expanded into a day-long program that satisfies the current needs of the animation industry.\n\nThe festival program gives center stage to its three competitions -- the International Competition, the Swiss Competition and the Kids Film Competition. The competitions are still open and film makers are encouraged to submit their animated films, each no longer than 40 minutes.\n\nThe experts in the selection group will search through all the submissions to find the films that exhibit strength and innovation, that can touch audiences emotionally and that perhaps flout conventions or push boundaries.\n\nThe online application portal to submit a short animation film is now open at. The closing date for registering is May 31, 2016."

"They didn’t offer me any sort of compensation. So from there I had to apply for benefits. Since then, I’ve tried to contact the agency, but they say they no longer require anybody’s services.\n\nA lot of the workers I worked alongside, they’ve been in the company for 15 years, give or take, full-time. A lot of them were let go as well.\n\nIt’s frustrating. With a zero-hour contract – it’s just so unfair. They just let you go. You give so much of your time, and then, because of the contract, they don’t owe you anything.\n\nWhen I messaged my manager, he was like, ‘there’s nothing I can do, sorry’. And that was it! I thought even if I was on a zero-hour contract I might be entitled to something. I tried to call a few times and his phone was off.\n\nI live at home. But there’s so many other people who have been working for the company for years. They’ve got kids, they’ve got a house, they’ve got bills to pay. They were just left with nothing. They go straight to Jobseeker’s Allowance.\n\nI was really loyal to that agency. Any time they called me – ‘can you do this, can you do that, can you come an extra hour, can you cover this shift’ – I’m like yeah, sure, no problem. But as soon as this happens – ‘oh sorry, we can’t help you.’\n\nI work for an events company. The events industry has been decimated by the pandemic. I have always been employed on fixed-term contracts – to give my employer the flexibility of being able to increase or decrease its workforce. So I don’t have any job security.\n\nThe company had kept us on and topped us up to our full salary. In October they’re going to cut the four members of staff on fixed-term contracts – four out of thirty-something, so it amounts to quite a large amount of work.\n\nWe were told a couple of months ago that this might happen. But when the government announced that it wouldn’t be extending the furlough scheme, or doing anything helpful, we received emails. As far as our employer’s concerned, it made absolutely no difference, because business has not picked up.\n\nThe four of us are the most junior members of staff. We’re on the lowest salaries. I do the books, so I know that I earn the least! And we are the first people to go.\n\nBecause we are on short-term contracts, there is no redundancy. There’s nothing to protect us. We just will not be employed, with no fall-back at all, by 1 November.\n\nThe Tories’ attitude has been very typically blinkered. It shows little understanding of the precariousness of many, many jobs, especially in the service industries. The people who hold those jobs are more likely to be vulnerable, more likely to be young people, trying to keep a foot in the door.\n\nI’ve had an email saying an administration job received over 900 applications. I work in the arts – we’ve seen the Tate Galleries and Southbank Centre have got rid of a whole layer of people. All of those jobs have already been outsourced on much lower wages.\n\nBenefits need to be easier to get. We can’t sit in queues of 70,000 or 80,000 applicants, which is the situation some of my friends are facing. I’ve had friends denied benefits because of a glitch in the system, which means they’ve gone four weeks without any money at all.\n\nIt’s a really disgusting state of affairs. The Tories couldn’t even extend their pseudo-sympathy for six months.\n\nAs it got closer to the end of the scheme and we weren’t being brought back into the office, that was a bad sign. As we were due to return from furlough, a new ‘Covid-proof’ restructure was announced, and a number of positions have been made redundant.\n\nSunak’s announcement comes too late. Organisations have already made their redundancy plans in anticipation of the end of the furlough scheme. My employer has stated that it is not going to be changing plans.\n\nThe new announcements seem to be putting faith in companies actually caring about their employees, and not just making decisions on the basis of how best to make money. It feels like the government’s main motivation has been to delay redundancies and to make itself appear less accountable for mass unemployment.\n\nIt’s not just the service sector that is affected. I work in the charity sector and I feel like the next wave of redundancies is affecting the rest of the economy too. Redundancies are now permeating into companies that are functioning, but making redundancies in anticipation of a second wave.\n\nIt’s difficult to lose a job, and for a lot of months either having pay reduced or having no pay at all. I’m a lot more fortunate than other people, to have found another job.\n\nBut the furlough scheme didn’t stop me from losing my job in the first place. I worked as a tutor, I tutored GCSE chemistry. It’s a supply-and-demand kind of job. When the schools closed, lots of parents weren’t taking their children to tuition centres.\n\nI’m working as a carer now. It was a stroke of luck – I found the job through a family friend.\n\nThe Tories have handled the crisis quite poorly. I thought there were lots of things that they could have done and they didn’t. And now it’s working-class people who have to make up for it and pay for it.\n\nObviously it’s all about profit. It’s profit over people. And there’s no one clear stance. They’re split between wanting to lessen the impact of the pandemic and wanting to increase the economy.\n\nIf the government had taken things more seriously then there wouldn’t have been such massive job losses and so many deaths.\n\nThe Job Support Scheme is kind of awful. Workers will ‘share the burden’ by wage reduction! People are already struggling to pay the rent and to pay their bills. To ask them to take on even more of the burden than before is ridiculous.\n\nAnd this is only available to ‘viable’ jobs. What happens to all those people whose jobs aren’t ‘viable’? My tutoring job wasn’t ‘viable’ on the basis of market demand – but could have been very useful to parents teaching kids at home."

"I thought long and hard about whether or not to include this hat (on loan from Ingrid in case that wasn't abundantly clear) since I wore a very similar hat for installment 101 -- In the Navy. I ultimately decided to include it for two reasons.\n\nFirst, the rules I set for myself was no duplication of hats, and this is a totally different hat -- and no one needs to take my word for it since Ingrid's name is across the front of this one. And, since I've worn several different black knit caps to date -- all distinguishable due to a variety of different embroidered logos and the like, it wouldn't make sense not to sport this particularly worthy loaner.\n\nSecond, since it's Veterans Day today, I thought it would be an appropriate hat-related way to pay homage.\n\nSo today's tip of the hat goes to all the veterans of our armed forces. I thank you -- and salute you.\n\nA: One man's homage to Dr. Seuss and his second book, \"The 500 Hats of Bartholemew Cubbins,\" which is celebrating the 75th anniversary of its publication in 2013, Project Cubbins is an attempt to document the wearing of a different hat or piece of headgear every day for 500 consecutive days.

"Fortnite Battle Royale pro Turner ‘Tfue‘ Tenney has already qualified for the World Cup and it’s a good thing he has because one of his matches was completely wasted due to a bug.\n\nAny player or viewer of Fortnite Battle Royale knows the game has its fair share of bugs but some of them are more prevalent than others.\n\nDuring a World Cup qualifying match on May 25, Tfue came across one of the more frustrating bugs in the game that led to an early exit in one of his matches and cost him valuable points.\n\nTfue likes to land at the block for his drops for the World Cup and that hasn’t changed for this week. The Block changes up quite often so it’s not really ever something that you can rely on from week to week but he hasn’t let that stop him.\n\nThe current block features the cannons and there’s currently a bug that plagues them that can cause you to go in a different direction than what you expected when shot out of one.\n\nThis bug reared its ugly head again at the worst possible time.\n\n“Yo, there’s no way the fucking cannon just bugged,” he said. “That’s so unlucky.”\n\nFor what it’s worth, he was able to laugh it off, likely due to the fact he had already wrapped up a spot in the World Cup.\n\nThis was the first World Cup stream and just his second stream overall since filing the lawsuit against FaZe Clan.\n\nAll mention of the esports organization has been removed from his stream, including the camera overlay and team on his Twitch account.\n\nThe situation is far from over but Tfue doesn’t appear to be letting it affect his streaming ability."

"Remaining unruffled under all circumstances, known as the nature of dollarization\n\nSimilarly to other nations Georgians would also claim that Georgian Lari (GEL) stands as a symbol of sovereignty. However, in nowadays world of globalization, national currencies are undergoing the process of weakening. Even though, some policies have been implemented to prevent this process. Not surprisingly, since 1970-s the US Dollar has been taking over national currencies. In last several decades, it played the role of a big brother, who was coming for help, implementing own rules and at the same time gaining the trust of the single member of the society. As Georgia is involved in the ongoing processes around the world, it wouldn’t have stayed as an exception and the process of dollarization has been the topic of discussion among Georgian “Economic Elite” since it was influencing the country’s economy.\n\nThe Friday Roundup – Originality, You…\n64 Awesome Things to Do in Costa Rica…\nThinking on whether or not you should…\n8 Steps You Can Take to Empower Your …\nHow to Soften a Beard: 6 Effective Ti…\nAccurate statistics on how much people hold in foreign bonds, bank deposits, or notes and coins are usually unavailable. However, estimates of the extent to which notes of the U.S. dollar and a few other currencies circulate outside their countries of origin give a rough idea of how widespread unofficial dollarization is. Researchers at the Federal Reserve System estimate that foreigners hold from 55 to 70 percent of U.S. dollar notes, mainly as $100 bills (Porter and Judson 1996, p. 899).\nTo prove above mentioned, let’s have a look at the following bar chart, representing official foreign exchange reserves by Currency, where obviously, the highest proportion comes on US Dollar, followed by euro.",
null,
"Source: International Monetary Fund http://data.imf.org\nLet’s describe an example of Georgia. There are several factors that cause the high level of dollarization in this country. Above mentioned trust is one of the issues because according to some historical facts Georgian Lari has lost its trust from the population. Which was followed by political instability, high rate of inflation and country’s overall economic situation itself. The following graph depicts the information about exchange rates of three most influential currencies on Georgian economy. While exchange rate with Russian ruble remained almost stable, US Dollar/Gel and Euro/Gel were undergoing fluctuations.",
null,
"Data taken from NBG of Georgia: https://www.nbg.gov.ge/index.php?m=304\nAccording to the dollarization classification, Georgia can be considered as an unofficially dollarized country, as people hold much of their financial wealth in foreign assets even though the foreign currency is not legal tender. The term \"unofficial dollarization\" covers both cases were holding foreign assets is legal and cases where it is illegal. In some countries, it is legal to hold some kinds of foreign assets, such as dollar accounts with a domestic bank, but illegal to hold other kinds of foreign assets, such as bank accounts abroad, unless special permission has been granted.[1]\nAnother way to measure unofficial dollarization is by the proportion of foreign-currency (67% of USD Dollar) deposits in the domestic banking system.",
null,
"Data taken from NBG of Georgia: https://www.nbg.gov.ge/index.php?m=304\nAs it can be seen on the diagram, since 2001 the deposits in foreign currency has outweighed deposits in domestic currency and this difference has been increasing continuously. According to the recent statistics, the dollarization of the bank deposits is accounted for 67%.\nFactors influencing dollarization process\nRisk and return considerations as they provide the basics of the allocation of financial savings between US Dollar and domestic currency deposits. US Dollar deposits can become an attractive form of saving for domestic investors, assuming confiscation risks are minimal.[2]\nAnother main factor is an institutional one, which defines the main rules of the “game”, for example: allowing individuals to have deposits in foreign currency or even treatment the dollar deposits in reserve requirements.\nThe existence of the US dollar deposits to some extent has facilitated the development of the Georgian financial system, however, it has been developing further, in tandem with the trade liberalization and capital account which determine currency substitution equation. Eventually, financial instability and lack of confidence of the local currency provokes a significant shift from Lari, that at the same time puts pressure on the exchange rate and banking system.\nExpansion of loans in foreign currency\nIn Georgia, real estate trade is now dollar based, which for Georgian financial system comes at a cost. The expansion of loans in foreign currency imposes currency depreciation risk.",
null,
"Data taken from NBG of Georgia: https://www.nbg.gov.ge/index.php?m=304\nFurthermore, in tandem with other vulnerable currencies, Georgian Lari keeps depreciating against US dollar at the rate of the dollar to the Gel being 2.475. The depreciation of the domestic currency has a negative impact on the financial well-being of local producers, those who have loans in US dollars. To define the process itself: producers receive domestic currency through the realization of their product but have to pay back their debt in foreign currency. The depreciation of the domestic currency makes the repayment of the loan in US dollars very expensive, as they need to convert more GEL into US dollar, all of this is increasing the possibility of loan defaults which makes financial position both producers and banks more vulnerable.\nMacroeconomic volatility\nIf inflation volatility is higher than the volatility of the nominal depreciation of the exchange rate, then, it can be accounted as one of the causes of dollarization.\n“Developing nations overleverage their economies to external foreign debt, most often, the US dollar, due to an optimistic perception of global monetary stability and low, long-term interest rates,” states Will Hickey.[3]\nThe gross External Debt of Georgia amounted to 15.7 billion USD (38.3 Billion Gel) 108,3% of the last four quarters of GDP. Overall, External Debt of Georgia increased from 16416.51 USD Million to 16712.72 USD Million in the second and the third quarter of 2017 respectively. External Debt in Georgia averaged 11285.93 USD Million from 2007 until 2017, reaching an all-time high of 16712.72 USD Million in the third quarter of 2017 and a record low of 4175.11 USD Million in the first quarter of 2007.\nThe relationship between external debt and economic growth of Georgia is inverse. Locally it can improve financial being of the country but in long term, it comes to the opposite. To clear up my opinion I would turn to one example: Let’s imagine this situation on the model of a family. Imagine family decided to repair their house and gets debt from the bank. They did the full renovation of their house and improved their physical environment. The logical question that has to be asked here is following: did this action improve their financial well-being as well? Hopefully, your answer crosses mine, because in future they need to pay the interest rate and cover the whole debt itself and looking around to the depreciating exchange rate and economic volatility we would say that the “family” shouldn’t ruin future self. Similar flew of processes is visible in the story of Georgian external debt and economic growth.\nThe external debt slows down economic growth as the servicing fee of external debt needs to be paid in foreign currency, and comparing Georgian GEL to the currencies of creditors its quite weak. However, economists with the more positive interpretation would claim that it is possible to utilize external debt in such manner that it will add value to the economy.\nAs this article claims, a large number of factors influence the level of dollarization in the country. It depends on trade balances, inflation rates, investor confidence, political stability, and reserve currency status. Economists, politicians, researchers, business leaders continuously monitor the factors that determine the level of dollarization in the country and later on, they measure or give their evaluation to the “nature of dollarization”. However, to sum up, this article I would share with you the statement made by US Treasury Secretary John Connally in 1971 to other finance ministers – “The dollar may be our currency, but it's your problem” – which holds true today.\n[1] \"Basics of Dollarization\" By Kurt Schuler.

"As part of the integration planning for its pending acquisition of Twenty-First Century Fox, The Walt Disney Company has announced plans for the new organizational structure for its Media Networks segment.\n\n“The strength of 21st Century Fox’s first-class management talent has always been a compelling part of this opportunity for us,” The Walt Disney Company Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Robert A. Iger has said. “Upon completion of the acquisition, this new structure positions these proven leaders to help drive maximum value from a greatly enhanced portfolio of incredible brands and businesses.”\n\n“I love making television and have been fortunate to work with incredibly talented executives and storytellers. Disney is the world’s preeminent creative company, and I look forward to working for Bob, and with his exceptional leadership team, to build on that amazing legacy. I also want to thank Rupert, Lachlan and James Murdoch for the privilege of working on such a wide array of movies and television, both entertainment and sports. It has been a wonderful thirty years,” Rice has stated in The Walt Disney Company media release.\n\nRice’s appointment will take effect upon completion of the acquisition. He is currently the president of 21st Century Fox and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Fox Networks Group.\n\nBen Sherwood, Co-Chair, Disney Media Networks and President, Disney|ABC Television Group, will remain in his current role during the transition period until the acquisition closes.\n\n“I want to personally thank Ben Sherwood for his years of service at ABC and Disney. Ben has been a valued colleague, and I deeply appreciate his many contributions and insights, as well as his professionalism and cooperation in this transition,” Iger said.\n\nDisney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox has received formal approval from shareholders of both companies, and Disney and 21st Century Fox have entered into a consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice that allows the acquisition to proceed, while requiring the sale of the Fox Sports Regional Networks. The transaction is subject to a number of non-U.S. merger and other regulatory reviews.\n\nAlso Read: Disney wins war for 21st Century Fox, but battle with Comcast far from over"

"Kazakhstan, already one of the world’s largest wheat exporters, selling over nine million tons annually, has the potential to become a global beef and mutton exporting powerhouse. Uzbekistan also has a large crop production base and has steadily grown its agricultural exports since 2017. The Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan boast rapidly growing dairy and beef sectors, which increasingly target export markets within and outside Central Asia.\n\nHowever, countries in the region face significant problems related to sanitary (animals) and phytosanitary (plants) standards, which currently do not meet the quality-control requirements of many countries.\n\nOutdated legislation, poor laboratory capacity and lack of coordination between border controls are among the reasons that create vulnerability to transboundary pests and diseases and constrain the potential of Central Asian nations to expand agricultural food trade.\n\nRising incomes and more demanding consumer preferences in target export markets are making product quality and safety a key determinant of export success. This is not just the case for OECD markets, but also for the markets in emerging Asian economies such as China, Vietnam, and Thailand. In these countries, the number of quality-conscious and increasingly wealthy middle-class consumers is growing every day.\n\nIn light of this, countries around the world are investing in infrastructure that assures better quality and safety of their agricultural products. For example, investments made by Uruguay to improve its animal health led to more than tripling of its share of China’s beef import, from 5 percent to 50 percent in just eight years.\n\nMany other countries report similarly positive results after improving the sanitary and phytosanitary standards of their exports.\n\nIn Central Asia, improving the implementation of sanitary and phytosanitary standards can also hugely benefit food trade and support the region’s export market expansion. Regional cooperation in this area can help unlock the countries’ potential even more, enhancing efficiency and lowering costs.\n\nTo grow their agricultural and meat exports, Central Asian countries need to establish world-class plant- and animal-product safety standards. By working together, countries could achieve significant results. At the World Bank, we see several areas for potential regional cooperation in agriculture and livestock.\n\nSuch cooperation could start with countries exchanging information about their plans for modernising national plant- and animal-product safety standards and protocols, so that reforms could be synchronised. Making national standards more compatible with global practices —World Trade Organisation standards, for example — would also help.\n\nAt the same time, we recognise that introducing new standards for products and processes and increasing the focus of food oversight programs on quality and safety will be costly and time-consuming. Cross-country coordination could help reduce this cost.\n\nAnimal diseases do not respect borders. They can spread quickly from one country to another, creating food safety and health emergencies, and causing staggering economic losses.\n\nFor example, the current African Swine Fever outbreak in China is expected to reduce the country’s pig population by a third in 2019. The fever has also spread rapidly to Mongolia, Cambodia, Vietnam and Hong Kong, devastating their pork industries and destroying the livelihoods of many of these countries’ poorest people.\n\nBetter national veterinary services and regional cooperation might have reduced the fallout from this outbreak.\n\nThe best way to keep local outbreaks of African Swine Fever, Avian Influenza, Foot and Mouth Disease and other diseases from mushrooming into devastating cross-border problems is coordinated regional investment in disease detection and eradication efforts.\n\nCountries could also work together to strengthen their food safety laboratories. The goal is consistent testing and analysis based on best global practices in animal health and disease prevention.\n\nModern crop- and meat-product logistical facilities, rail hubs, and dedicated infrastructure at border crossings between Central Asian nations could also help increase their exports to China. Co-investing in this infrastructure would save time and money. As would synchronising procedures for moving commodities and products across Central Asian countries’ regional borders and into China.\n\nCentral Asia’s future as a supplier of agri-products and livestock will depend on how food producers and processors in the region respond to the increased quality and safety demands of consumers, and on how well countries coordinate with each other.\n\nAt the World Bank, we will continue to support the efforts of Central Asian countries to improve standards and expand agricultural food trade, with the overall goal of boosting economic growth and citizens’ standards of living.\n\nThe author is the World Bank Country Director for Central Asia."

"“Should I go get another pregnancy test?”\n\nThat’s what my wife asked me sometime during the last week of September. She asked about getting another one because two she had already taken some weeks prior had failed; but her boobs had been sore and kept her in pain. I had already assumed the possibility of her being pregnant because she’d been complaining of the pain for probably two weeks at that point, plus she hadn’t had a visit from Aunt Flo (but we attributed that to a car accident we had been in a few weeks prior)… Oh, also because of some physical bodily changes I’d noticed… but I won’t put her business out there. Lets just say, if my nipples become girthier, I might fear that I may be pregnant.\n\nI offered to go to CVS and go get the test with her, but she went without me. It was a school night, so I was just relaxing on the couch watching whatever we watch to dumb ourselves down before bed. Once she came back home she disappeared for about 10 minutes, then returned but went straight to the kitchen and hid from me. Now I knew that my Spidey sense was 100% right.\n\nI asked her, “well, are you pregnant?” She told me to go into the kitchen, so I did… and once I had, I’d seen that there was the pregnancy test in the oven showing that shit was about to get real. I am about to be a father.\n\nThis paternal feeling I have, has run through my veins for God knows how long. And the big man upstairs had blessed me with going through life without accidentally knockin’ up some random nobody’s I’d had adult time with on occasion, or exes that I wasn’t meant to be with. Instead, he blessed me with, what we would find out to be a Wedding Night Baby, with the most perfect person in the world that I can think of, who I literally look at and know that for the rest of my life—I want to be her man. I mean… It was in my vows to get her pregnant… True story.\n\nI was happy. I am happy. But looking back on it, I wish I had been happier, because for some reason, I feel like I let *Paps down, with my lack of 100% Oscar winning enthusiasm. But I was ecstatic. I had already started thinking about how we’re going to tell everyone, and I was wanting to call people immediately, yet holding back because I know there’s an information tree you have to follow in order to not hurt peoples feelings and all the jazz…\n\nWe wanted to be careful too because we didn’t want to get our hopes up. We were surround by people we love who’ve had more than their share of tears from complications leading to multiple miscarriages. With people who we consider family; we’ve had to be on the other side of the conversation where the words no parent should have to ever say had squeaked out of their mouths, and you sit their and feel an empty sadness inside and motionless with thought that nothing you can do or say can make this better. And I think all that was on my mind in the initial mix.\n\nBut we did decide to tell a handful of people. Our immediates. And this is where the night kinda collapsed around us.\n\nNow mind you… everyone in every situation has some sort of expectation of how things will go. My expectation was that we would get to tell her dad in person and experience that facial surprise, or even get to hear it over the phone because God knows he needed to hear some good news. I wanted to tell my immediate friends immediately and could care less about seeing their faces, I just wanted them to know… and I was going to wait to tell my mom in person so I could record her reaction. Everyone else, I wanted to record their reactions and put together a video montage and that’s how we would exploit it to FaceSpace once day one of the second trimester had come around.\n\nWell none of that happened.\n\nPaps texted her older sister who just so happened to be with her dad who had just left our house. So he found out through a text that wasn’t even meant for him… so there went that thunder. My picture text of Paps I sent to my friends;",

"I ended up having to explain that I wasn’t inviting them over for Spaghetti dinner (which I think is pretty funny, because I think the picture was pretty self explanatory), so there went some more wind out of the sails… and to top it off, somehow I ruined the night by making my brand-new-wife-who-just-found-out-she’s-going-to-be-a-mother cry… CRY! I don’t even know why or how, but how much of an asshole am I to make someone cry not even 2-hours after finding out we’re pregnant?!?!?\n\nTo top it off… we waited to tell my mother in person, and that went really wrong. So I just gave up on those reactions. Still, all in all everyone is genuinely happy for us, which is nice, because how that whole deal started off, I was starting to have that feeling of it being my birthday and nobody giving a shit. I did really enjoy the picture we took to break it to the rest of the world (the background picture of the blog), and looking back on all that rats nest of confusion, who cares… There’s about to be a little tiny mother effing baby that will give me so many more memories, in which that night will just be another story to share; like I’m sharing it now."
