In 2017, Dana Williamson wanted to help solve hunger in America. Along the way, she learned the United States discards more food than any other country: nearly 40 million tons — 80 billion pounds a year. It equates to 219 pounds of waste per person per year. That's like every person in America throwing more than 650 average-sized apples right into the garbage — or the landfills. Williamson's question was: If so many people are going hungry then why do we throw away food? Her research led her to Food Rescue.us, a national organization that "rescues" excess food directly from food donors (restaurants, cafeterias, caterers, etc.) to social service agencies that feed the hungry. "They were only on the east and west coast. I reached out and said I wanted to bring it to Utah," says Williamson. Williamson was Utah's first "food rescuer." To get started, she contacted Westminster College's cafeteria. "They were closed for winter break and had food going to go bad. I loaded my car with this amazing produce and brought it to my friends at the YWCA. Both sides thought it was a great idea," says Williamson. Williamson launched her nonprofit organization called Waste Less Solutions. According to their website, the organization's mission is to make a significant reduction in food waste in Utah. They educate consumers and food entities on the issue and solution. Volunteers can download the Food Rescue.us app and become "food rescuers." They drive "rescued" food from donors to organizations that will help those in need. "It's like 'Uber' for food waste," says Williams. "Once you download the app, look at the schedule for rescues. Pick one, click on it, and it will tell you specific instructions on where and when to pick up and drop it off. Then report the food you rescued." They've saved over 513,000 meals — equivalent to providing three meals a day to over 171,000 individuals within the Salt Lake County area. Now the program is launching in Ogden thanks to a partnership with Ogden CAN (Civil Action Network). Together, the nonprofits found the funding to hire Isaac Farley, a Weber State graduate, to launch the food rescue program in Ogden. While Farley attended Weber a few years ago, he founded O-Town Kitchen. This business produced uniquely flavored jams and jellies created from surplus food donations. He has since received a master's degree. He says he is "eager to reduce food waste and increase food security in the Ogden area." Farley is looking for food donors in Ogden and the Weber County area who would like to participate in the food rescue program. "Everyone in the food business should know whenever they have food waste, even if it's once a year, they can call us. Don't throw it away. We want to be an available resource to educate people in reducing their food waste, and to make a difference," says Williamson. Besides "rescuing" food from large excess food donors, Waste Less Solutions also has a program called GardenShare. "We rescue from backyard gardens. Home gardeners can hop onto our website, locate a cooler, and drop in their extra produce. Then food rescuers will come to the share site and take it to a nonprofit that can get it to the people in need," says Williamson. Volunteers can also sign up to host a Garden Share site. You can place a cooler on your front porch or another place. "You don't have to be home. It's very convenient," says Williamson. If you are interested in becoming a "food rescuer," helping to locate new food donors, want to set up a garden share, or putting a sign in your yard advertising the GardenShare program, go to www.wastelesssolutions.org.

Caregivers likely to develop Alzheimer's Posted on July 6, 2015 by kloushin Health of Alzheimer's disease caregivers takes serious toll, research shows Caregivers of dementia patients more likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer's Author: Rachel McNeill, Anchor/Medical Expert, rmcneill@kprc.com Aaron Wische, News Executive Producer Published On: Jul 05 2015 10:15:00 PM CDT Updated On: Jul 05 2015 10:13:36 PM CDT HOUSTON –Five million American families deal with the day-to-day challenge of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease. New research shows it's taking a serious toll on the health of the caregiver. Lisa McBride watched the effects of Alzheimer's disease on her mother first-hand. "She sent the IRS about 20 checks when she should not have, and that's when my father got the bank statement and realized that she couldn't remember that she had made a quarterly payment and had paid it again," McBride said. Her mother, Sybil, was 75 years old, but was active and well-educated. McBride's father, Whit, took on the role of caregiver to keep his wife at home. "My father was adamant about keeping my mother in the home. He was almost 80 and … (it) soon became apparent that that situation was just not working," McBride said. That's a scenario Annette Tritico and Debbie Hayes with the Alzheimer's Association said is all too familiar — the scenario of caregivers becoming overwhelmed by the burden of this progressive and fatal brain disease. Five evenings a week, Hayes visits the facility that is now her dad's home to feed him and spend time with him in the late stages of Alzheimer's. "It's an overwhelming, devastating disease to watch someone you know deteriorate like that," Hayes said. That deterioration also affects caregivers, according to research from Johns Hopkins University, Duke University and Utah State University showing that caregivers of someone with dementia are six times more likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer's as well. "Long-term married people have the same diet, health habits, exercise habits. They have the same stressors and lifestyles. It can also be attributed to the stress of caring for a loved one and seeing them deteriorate," McBride said. That happened to McBride's father. "We had such a focus on what was going on with my mother, that we really weren't paying attention to my father as much and he was exhibiting some signs of early stage Alzheimer's," she said. The Alzheimer's Association is funneling research dollars and resources to caregivers to lighten the burden. Tritico said she's even working with researchers at Stanford University on an app that will give answers to common questions and tips on caregiving. "This will be quick, it will be very narrowed down education to where you can get your answer quicker," she said. These women, all impacted by this disease, said it really does take a village to care for someone with Alzheimer's and the time to get a plan is now. "It is so important that families that have a diagnosis for Alzheimer's or dementia develop a support system early on," Hayes said. There's a need for more researcher and participants to be part of Alzheimer's clinical studies. To learn more about becoming a part of those studies, click here. This entry was posted in Main Blog.

You are at:Home»Android»I Hate You Android Review I Hate You Android Review By Simon Burns May 24, 2016 No Comments I Hate You, available for Android through the Google Play store, is an action driving game that shows a lot of potential and is thoroughly playable, but could also be a lot more than it is. The game sets you with the task of fighting against childhood fears and adult phobias, with the intent being to destroy things like spiders, snakes and clowns. Essentially, if there is a common phobia about it, then you will probably find it in this game. You take control of a variety of killing machine vehicles, armed with a multitude of weapons and hunt down the bad guys, whether they be snakes, spiders or anything else. The game is basically an arena based car game, and it has the driving feel down perfectly, with decent touch screen controls and vehicles that feel as responsive as they should. Finding and hunting enemies is good fun, een if they are quite simplistic foes. It is a bit of a score attack style of game, as you zoom around the 3D levels, looking for foes to kill. The game is very impressive to look at, not only because of the 3D engine, but also because of the design of the cars, which all look great. In fact, it looks just like a Twisted Metal or Carmageddon-style game, and that brings me to my main gripe with the game; I wish it was a Twisted Metal-style game. I would love to take these cars and do some proper car vs car combat, as the whole thing seems perfectly suited to that. Add in online play, and you would have an awesome vehicle combat game. The game in its current form feels like a bonus mode from a larger game and, fun as it is right now, I would love to see what this developer could do if they decided to get a bit more ambitious. The game as it is, is still a fun game to play. With plenty of levels and enemies to mess around with it is a fun distraction, and the graphics are really very good. If you are looking for a car game with a difference, then I Hate You is well worth a look.

This is probably due to the ability for OpenVPN to provide WINS servers in a DHCP request. The bug doesn't seem to cause any function issues. Low priority. I was unable to duplicate the issue.

Relive Your Big Wins in 2020 With FanDuel Sportsbook 'Year in Review' Posted on December 30, 2020 - Last Updated on January 6, 2021 by Katie Kohler Putting a Spotify spin on sports betting, FanDuel has provided users with a "Year in Review." If you have a quick finger on any pop-up and closed it, don't worry, you can still access the "Year in Review" by logging in and scrolling through the carousel at the top of the app. Hurry up, though; it's only there until Dec. 30 at 11:59 p.m. EST.

Previously, we have done a 'season in review' for a customer's NFL season or their college football season, but this is the first time we have done a year in review." Hennessy said the most common answers for favorite sports of FanDuel users were football, basketball and baseball. Favorite teams: FanDuel in PA Since it's time to review, we turn the focus to FanDuel. FanDuel's sportsbook app arrived in Pennsylvania when online sports betting was still in its infancy. PlaySugarHouse, Parx and BetRivers were the first three to market, all rolling out between May 2019 and June 25, 2019. FanDuel, through its partnership with Valley Forge Casino, launched at the end of July 2019. The DFS turned sports betting operator already was the top-performing sportsbook in New Jersey. Would it find similar or greater success across state lines? Sixteen months later, there are a lot more players in the online sportsbook game in Pennsylvania. With the recent additions of Barstool Sportsbook and BetMGM, there are now 11 sportsbook apps. But through massive growth, a pandemic that decimated sports betting menus, big promotional pushes from competitors, a bombastic personality and his army of followers joining the fray and the return of major sports, FanDuel has kept the No. 1 spot in Pennsylvania. Since August 2019, it has led all operators in handle each month and was tops for revenue all but one month (Jan 2020).

In November, FanDuel online sportsbook remained the leader in PA, taking $176.7 million, or 36.6% of the state's wagers. It also broke the record for revenue for a PA online sportsbook in October ($14.7 million) and again in November ($15 million). Hennessy said: "Pennsylvania is an exciting state for us. In 2020, we were the clear online leader and we expanded our retail footprint with a new FanDuel Sportsbook at Live! Casino in the Pittsburgh area. We are looking forward to a great 2021 and another retail location opening at Live! Casino in the Philadelphia area."

Retail sentiment is shifting in a big way. Many analysts point to the decline of nearly 10% in brick-and-mortar retail since last year as a signal that retail sentiment is down. However, the numbers say consumers are spending and optimistic, while industrial took the place of core assets as the second highest producing markets over the last year. Retail sentiment is shifting; here are 3 things you need to know. That is, as brick-and-mortar stores are closing, new tenants, investors, and developers are looking at those same properties to play a big part in e-commerce's booming omnichannel operations. In order to provide same day delivery, retail needs warehouses, distribution centers, and fulfillment centers that are closer to urban centers. The big shift is that brick-and-mortar retail closures are being converted into major offline assets for online retailers. Consumer spending is up. People are buying retail, just not in physical stores like they used to. According to a report issued by the Census Bureau, overall retail sales ticked up 4.5% this past spring. Brick-and-mortar retail declined by more than 5% while online retail posted an increase of close to 11% over the same period. That has caused lessees and investors to rethink the space now occupied by former anchor stores in shopping centers across the country. Instead of trying to find the same old cookie cutter stores, retailers are shrinking their store space thereby reducing the rent that they pay. They are then using that smaller space to toy with experiential retail and new multi-purpose storefronts that act as a link in their local delivery chain. Kroger is experimenting with online ordering and pick-up, just like Wal-Mart and Amazon. The new shift is encouraging smaller actors and mid-sized retail chains to do the same thing. Some retailers have been choosing to close their physical stores and redirect traffic to their online stores. Yet Forrester Research predicts a close to 15% increase in overall retail sales this year and online retail makes up less than 13% of those sales. Choosing to revamp traditional retail is proving to be a big shift in the way that it is being used to attract new foot traffic offline. Retailers have feared that a shift over the all-important Black Friday weekend would lead to more sales online than at their physical stores. Based on consumer sentiment, it appears that those fears have been overblown. Consumers are feeling very optimistic and forecasts all predict increasing retail sales over the coming holidays. Instead of competing for space online, some are shifting to a comprehensive strategy where their online stores are used to compliment their brick-and-mortar assets and vice versa. By improving the in-person shopping experience and utilizing coupon apps to promote sales events online and offline, retailers are able to increase sales at their physical stores while also improving their position in the online retail space. 2017 looks to see some of the biggest shifts in holiday retail that we've seen to date.

Behn Meyer Vietnam partnered with ExxonMobil Chemicals to hold "Tire and Tube" seminars in Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on 8th and 10th April 2014 respectively. Two speakers from ExxonMobil, Mr. Sushil Mandot and Ms. Lynn Yee, gave a presentation on the application of regular butyl and halobutyl in the tire and tube industry. The main focus of their topic was on the safety and fuel economy issues connected with meeting the market demand in the transportation industry. They also shared news concerning global trends in the tire and tube market. More than a hundred people from tire and tube manufacturers, agents and distributors, fleet companies and the Ho Chi Minh Rubber Association attended the seminars. There was a great deal of interest in the topics and lots of questions were raised during the Q&A session. Behn Meyer Vietnam also celebrates the 16 years of excellent cooperation with ExxonMobil and 18 years of long-term partnership with Danang Rubber Company. ExxonMobil is known as the leading manufacturer in the world for new rubber materials in tire and tube applications. They supply extensive product ranges, including Regular Butyl (RB), ChloroButyl (CB), BromoButyl (BB), EPDM (Vistalon and IT), which help Behn Meyer to offer high quality materials with advanced technology to the Vietnam market.

Defense mechanisms, in the psychological sense, are mind-sets or emotional reactions that block painful emotions from real or imagined threat. Regression is one these defense mechanisms. When faced with insurmountable conflict, our behavior may return to a more primitive state. Emotional states that are regressive include screaming, tantrums, name-calling and ultimately, violent behavior. Such primitive states are most common in individuals who have not been parented in a way that installs functional foundational values such as restraint, self reliance, personal responsibility compassion etc.. . Individuals who have been "spoiled" and allowed to act out without fear of consequences never learn the most basic social responsibility. . Such "brats" grow into self-centered, grandiose, and immature adults who have no persuasive social skills past coercion and intimidation. The political left are in a regressive state, a weird mass contagion is affecting the majority of the policital left. Reacting to merely being in the presence of a pro-Trump article of clothing, quickly regressing to the more primitive state, incapable of reasoned rhetoric and intolerant of opposing views.

Watch This: The Social Network Opening Credits That Could Have Been Posted on Saturday, January 15th, 2011 by David Chen David Fincher's The Social Network is finally out on DVD/Blu-Ray this week, and it offers a pretty spectacular, in-depth look at the creation of the film (go here for all our past coverage of the film). One of the things that's always interested me about the movie is the opening credits sequence, which has gone through several changes from conception to execution. Originally, it was supposed to be done in one long, continuous shot, but that idea was shelved. Additionally, Aaron Sorkin has stated in interviews that he wanted to use Paul Young's cover of "Love for the Common People" over the opening credits. He later commented, "David [Fincher] didn't just do something different; he did something 180 degrees opposite…The way that's shot, the way that's scored, that tells the audience, 'This isn't your father's college movie.'" Indeed, Trent Reznor's haunting score at the beginning is what sets the tone perfectly for the dark nature of the film. But today, we have a glimpse into what would have happened if this had been Aaron Sorkin's The Social Network. Yesterday on Twitter, I put out the call for anyone to produce an alternate version of The Social Network opening credits that would use Sorkin's desired song. /Filmer Wesley Burleson (who writes over at The Film Fan) rose to the challenge, and his video is embedded below. Suffice it to say, I think it would have been a completely different movie had Sorkin gotten his way: For comparison, here's Trent Reznor's track, which plays over the final verseion. What do you guys think? Do you prefer Sorkin's version or Fincher's choice? [Update: Several people in the comments are pointing out that, had this song been used, the sequence would have been cut/shot differently. I agree that this is the case, but the above is obviously just a mental exercise. Also, for reference, here's the excerpt from Sorkin's original Social Network script that describes this sequence/music.] [Update 2: /Filmer John Heuer directs me to the following interview clip with Trent Reznor, which features the original cut of the opening credits featuring David Fincher's prior song of choice, Elvis Costello's "Beyond Belief." The relevant clip begins around 4:30 into the video.] 'Mindhunter' Season 2 Release Date Confirmed by David Fincher David Fincher's Next Movie is a Black and White Netflix Film Starring Gary Oldman and Written By Fincher's Own Father The Latest 'Love, Death & Robots' Trailer Gets Extremely NSFW 'The Newsroom' Could Get a Revival If Aaron Sorkin Stops Being So Busy [Updated] /Featured Stories Sidebar, /Tweeted, Video Of The Day, Aaron-Sorkin, David-Fincher, The Social Network

Return to About PEP Every year, the Peconic Estuary Partnership recruits several interns. Please review each internship description for application details and deadlines. Alewife Monitoring Data Analysis Internship Open to Applicants! Every spring, Alewife travel from the ocean to coastal waters and eventually make their way into freshwater rivers and streams to spawn. However, barriers – such as dams and road culverts – can block them from reaching their spawning habitat. The Peconic Estuary Partnership is working with its partners to restore access for alewife to their critical freshwater habitat by providing passage through or around these barriers. In 2010 a fishway was built at the Grangebel Dam on the Peconic River, restoring access to 25 acres of habitat for alewife and other diadromous fish. Since the completion of this fishway, the PEP has been monitoring Alewife on the Peconic River, through visual fish counts and biological sampling. Beginning in the spring of 2019, PEP installed a video camera at the Grangebel Park fishway to get a better estimate of the number of Alewife using this fishway to travel up the Peconic River to spawn. Additionally, a fish passage was completed at Woodhull Dam in 2022, equipped with a fish camera. The intern will assist PEP with analyzing the recorded video footage to better understand alewife population abundance trends. For more information and directions on how to apply for the 2023 season, click here. Horseshoe Crab Monitoring Internship The Peconic Estuary Partnership hosts a Hampton Bays project site as part of an Island-wide study to monitor horseshoe crab populations. This internship will require 12 nights of monitoring (3 nights every other week) from May-June to collect environmental and biological data and lead interested volunteers. Monitoring times are based on high tides and can vary between 10pm-2:30am. Data entry and analysis will be based in Yaphank with flexible times. The intern must be comfortable handling live animals and have reliable transportation for monitoring nights. For more information and directions on how to apply for the 2023 season, click here. Otter Monitoring Internship The intern is responsible for assisting with the collection of scientific data on Peconic Estuary and Watershed Otter Surveys in the Spring from March through May. The intern must be available for an Otter Survey Workshop Training in February. The ideal candidate will have a biology background. For more information and directions on how to apply for the 2023 season, click here. Bilingual Outreach Internship The intern will translate existing outreach materials, develop new material, and attend outreach events to help educate the Spanish speaking community. Based in Riverhead, some travel to east end towns is required. For more information and directions on how to apply for the 2023 season, click here.

Could you please elaborate and shed some light on these questions? They are not necessarily specific to the current patch, but would be greatly appreciated if you could answer them. The community would really like some clarity. The World-Cup mode had a great option that could let us send untradeable duplicates to a storage place, why isn't this implemented in this game? Right now the only reason I can think of as to why it isn't added, is, so that players HAVE to discard them and eventually visit the transfermarkt / store again? Would it be able to add an button to add 11 individual condition cards at once? 11 cards would be applied and removed with one-button, which is very much more user friendly than having one player add them one by one. You'd still have the squad fitness cards in the game to fill up packs with. *While I understand that a new TOTW or a promo (futmas, otw, ...) can hype players up to buy packs if there are players with switched positions (ie. Mbappe from RW to ST). That shouldn't be the reason those potential (LW to RW) position cards shouldn't be added, that would mean "profit > gameplay/fun". **I know you guys are paying attention to User Interface design, because the integration of visiting the transfermarkt with L2 during an SBC this year has been great. As well with the sorting options. But I feel there can be done even more with it, like L2 also sending u to the transfermarkt when you are just working on your squad. Thanks, from this we can gather that despite the millions FUT generates, EA are not willing to dedicate the resources needed to address the obviously needed patches this game needs in a timely fashion. Simply not good enough. The Fifa forums simply shouldn't contain this much disdain for a game we've come to love over the years. Can you fix bug when the players are not even making an effort to do anything, players get "tired" Shows how messed the game is, players get tired for doing nothing, unbelievable, and they want to create "realism" I guess you lot haven't fixed any lag issues. Because I played a person who was lagging badly. There's still an issue with the CAM position in Pro Clubs where the game will give you a task of playing in a different position. We are still working on it but I don't have a time frame just yet. Appreciate the feedback. Not really something I can shed any light on because I don't know if these changes are something that are easily implemented or not and whether there are plans to look at this stuff but I'll add this to the ongoing feedback list we have. Just because it always happens to you doesn't mean it always happens to everyone. Sometimes the ones that look "easy to fix" don't always work out that way. How often is this actually happening to you? Which mode are you in? I'm mostly a FUT player and very rarely get injuries let alone 2 in one match, so perhaps this is in a different mode? EA, bringing the American healthcare system worldwide! Can you DM me the details or links so I can take a look? Saw this but no further updates. If it's something that's changed it'll be in the patch notes but don't have info as to when that might be. If it happens to you again (consumables bug), please note down the exact time, date and your timezone and DM me those details along with your platform and gamertag. Really though, how hard can it be to just copy the custom tactics used by the player for the specific squad and paste them directly for SBs? Or was it so complicated to implement due to the changes to custom tactics that they just set the default to "Possession/Tiki-Taka" and "No Pressure" for all squads? It's not a bug it's deliberate as it hasn't always been that way. Squad Battles is set up to AI cheat too, EA know then because it's by design. Why on earth was defensive AI not fixed? Final proof that EA do not play the game or they'd realise this patch will make the game worse- that's from someone who wanted timed finesse nerfed. Do you guys want balanced gameplay? The game is a mess and you clearly do not listen to your community as everyone knows how OP defensive AI is. I think all players should now realise that AI defending is by design and EA don't care about gameplay. I don't honestly know the full ins and outs of what the potential issue is, what it takes to fix and where it is in terms of priority. So essentially you want to be able to play great defense with lower rated players. Then why buy better players if manual control is buffed ? The key point here is a supposedly good defender with good stats still suffers when manually controlled. E.g. Rio Ferdinand unstoppable whe controlled by AI, but still suffers from the ball being magnetised to the attacker when manually controlled. The game isn't yet at a point where your question makes sense to ask. Please don't attempt to defend the indefensible.

ACS may miss its goal of decreasing ca incidence by 25% Oncology NEWS International, Oncology NEWS International Vol 16 No 12, Volume 16, Issue 12 In 1998, the American Cancer Society (ACS) set a challenge goal for the United States to lower cancer incidence by 25% between 1992 and 2015. At about the midpoint (2004), overall cancer incidence rates had declined at a rate of about 0.6% per year, about half the pace needed to achieve the 25% goal by 2015 In 1998, the American Cancer Society (ACS) set a challenge goal for the United States to lower cancer incidence by 25% between 1992 and 2015. At about the midpoint (2004), overall cancer incidence rates had declined at a rate of about 0.6% per year, about half the pace needed to achieve the 25% goal by 2015. Similarly, ACS estimates that it goal of reducing cancer mortality by 50% from 1990 to 2015 may also be only half met. "New understandings of preventable factors are needed, and new efforts are also needed to better act on our current knowledge about how we can prevent cancer, especially by continuing to reduce tobacco use and beginning to reverse the epidemic of obesity," the investigators wrote (Sedjo RL et al: CA Cancer J Clin 57:326-340, 2007). The researchers calculated cancer incidence trends using SEER data, and presented data on delay-adjusted incidence trends for all cancer sites; all cancer sites without prostate cancer included; all cancer sites stratified by sex, age, and race; and 20 selected cancer sites. Since cancers may be reported to registries years after the initial diagnosis, delay-adjusted rates were estimated to account for such delays in reporting. Rates for all cancers were calculated without prostate cancer to avoid the effects of PSA screening. All rates were age adjusted to the 2000 US standard population. From 1992 to 2004, cancer incidence rates fell by about 8% (0.6% per year). Incidence increased in the early 1990s apparently due to a rise in prostate cancer incidence associated with increasing use of PSA screening. "The declines in cancer incidence were most apparent among men and among those aged 65 years and older," the authors said. Declines among men are related primarily to declines in lung and prostate cancer. The reason for the declines in older people is unclear, but may be related to the fact that long-term benefits of smoking cessation are more apparent with advancing age and to the wide access to clinical preventive services in the Medicare system, including colorectal and cervical screenings. Although decreasing trends were similar in all races, African Americans continued to have a higher cancer incidence than whites. Trending down in incidence were cancers of the prostate, lung (men only), colorectum, ovary, oral cavity, stomach, and cervix uteri. Invasive breast cancer began to trend downward after 1999, and lung cancer incidence in women has been stable in recent years. No downturn was seen in multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, leukemia, or in cancers of the corpus uteri, bladder, pancreas, or brain, and rates actually increased for melanoma and cancers of the kidney, liver, thyroid, and esophagus. The investigators said there has been "mixed success" in reducing the prevalence of major cancer risk factors. Although historical declines in tobacco use and use of HRT in women have contributed to declines in the incidence of some cancer sites, "these favorable changes are somewhat offset by the increasing prevalence of obesity, which contributes to higher risk for many types of cancers," the investigators said. The researchers also noted that mammography rates have declined somewhat in recent years. On a more optimistic note, screening for colorectal cancer has been rising, and colorectal cancer is "on target" to meet the 2015 goal.

Little Paul visits a museum of musical instruments with his schoolmates. In the museum, one can see instruments from all over the world – very old ones, but also modern ones. Apart from well-known instruments, there are of course many other fascinating things to discover: sonorous stones from Northern Togo, a bone flute, the snake-shaped serpent, a walking-stick violin, an armadillo guitar, a giraffe piano and many more. This picture book continues the successful series of books by Andrea Hoyer. As in her previous books 'In der Musikschule', 'In der Oper' and 'Im Konzert', the story is told by Little Paul. In an entertaining way, the children learn a lot about known and historical instruments and get fascinating information on exotic instruments from faraway countries.As in Andrea Hoyer's other books, the main focus again is on the charming detail drawings which stimulate the reader's imagination and will be enjoyable not only to children.

EARTH-FRIENDLY / BUDGET-FRIENDLY: Effectively Cleans & Disinfects Surfaces Using Little to No Chemicals. EPA Proven to Remove 99+% of Bacteria! I love that these towels DON'T have tags on them. They feel quality and should do MUCH better than many of the lower priced microfiber towels on the market. The price does not mean these are CHEAP at all - not the junk you find at Harbor Freight or the auto parts store. I look forward to seeing how long they last after many details and washes. We loves these microfiber rags. Great size, great stitching, and stays true to color for a good while. We use these in a commercial cleaning application in our hotel and are very pleased with how they perform. We've tried a lot of microfiber and these are our favorites as of right now. You won't be disappointed! These are the greatest, the best size and absorption of any I've tried. They wash and dry like a dream, don't collect lint all over the dryer and keep their vibrant color wash after wash! I use these for everything and wash them daily. I've been using a set for a year and just for more and can hardly tell the new apart from the old. Wish they would put these on subscribe & save. I love these. I own a janitorial company and these are a definite upgrade from most of the mismatched towels and rags out there. Makes our service look much more professional. They are all I will buy now, except for red towels which we only use in bathrooms. They hold up very well in commercial use. Joined a new gym that had scratchy whit towels, so bought these and take them to the gym with us. A dozen is perfect, because we use them all week, and wash one load at the end of the week. Super absorbent and soft. Bought grey- easy to spot but not too bright! I mainly use these particular towels for doing dishes or cleaning throughout the house. True- they are not exactly the best or most plush but they are more than a good enough towel to get the job done. Love these towels. Use them everywhere. Dishes to easing and drying the car. Love them.

DPR partnered with HKS Architects on this design-build, 101,000-sq.-ft., four-story, 371-bed new student housing building. Located near the North campus entrance, the building is prominently situated, but sits in a dense setting with little to no lay-down area. The project includes complete demolition of the existing Webster Hall structure and a new ground up building in its place. The new Webster Hall will include 371 beds in single and double rooms, bathrooms, common rooms, residence assistant apartments, lounges, recreation rooms, administrative offices, community space, community kitchen, music room, maintenance shop and laundry facilities. The project is utilizing Digital Building Components to prefabricate the light gauge structural wall and floor panels off-site. This system was proposed to UC Davis by DPR in lieu of traditional wood construction, and, by using Digital Building Components, the building type was converted from Type V to Type II. This improves the occupant safety and durability of the building. Construction of Webster Hall begins in Summer of 2017 and is scheduled to be complete in Spring of 2019. It is targeting LEED Gold Certification.

We have been proud CMA members since 2013. We turn to the membership forum for advice almost every time we are facing a dilemma; chances are there is always someone that has solved the same problem we are having and everyone is so friendly and eager to help. We find the monthly networking events to be very useful and we try to attend whenever we can. There we can tour other plants and see how other companies do things, we visit showrooms where we can get ideas after which we grab a few drinks with our peers. Also the yearly Benchmark Study helps us tremendously in planning our budget, our marketing strategy and in making good management decisions. We would recommend the CMA to anyone looking to save money, save "trial-and-error-time" and gain extensive industry knowledge. We make all slab doors and veneers in house and we outsource the wooden doors. Finishing is currently still being outsourced until we find a good finisher. We recently invested in a fully enclosed spray booth and all Kremiln equipment and will hopefully be able to soon start in-house finishing.

5 Pound British Gold Sovereign (Random Year) 1+ $1,699.00 $1,716.70 $1,769.79 Any quantity available for $24.99 per oz over spot! The sovereign is a gold coin issued by the United Kingdom for standard circulation within the British economy. The traditional British Gold Sovereign is a coin with a nominal face value of One Pound Sterling, but it is also issued in various other weights and face values. The 5 Pound British Gold Sovereign coin is available to you now online from JM Bullion. Coin Highlights: Arrives in protective plastic. Official gold sovereign coin of the United Kingdom! Contains 1.1775 Troy oz of actual gold content. Issued a face value of 5 (GBP) by the British government. Obverse includes the effigy of the reigning monarch. Reverse features the design of St. George slaving the dragon. Design on reverse from Benedetto Pistrucci. Minting of British gold sovereign coins dates back beyond 1604, the last year of mintage for the previous English gold sovereign coins. It wasnt until the Great Recoinage of 1816 that the United Kingdom brought back production of a gold sovereign coin featuring the image of the reigning monarch on the obverse. Modern British Gold Sovereign coins were introduced in 1817 and remained in steady production until 1917, with full circulation of the coins as currency continuing until 1932. These gold coins were struck off and on during the 20th century, with a brief one-year striking in 1925 and continuous production picking back up in 1957 during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. All 5 Pound British Gold Sovereign coins feature a number of similarities. Though not released into wider circulation like their One Pound, Half-Sterling, and Two Pound mates, these coins feature the same obverse and reverse design concepts of the circulating coins. The reigning monarch of the day is always featured on the coins obverse. In the case of 5 Pound British Gold Sovereigns, only the image of Queen Elizabeth II has ever appeared on the obverse. She is captured in right-profile relief on the coins, with early offerings in the 5 Pound collection including the Maklouf third-generation portrait of the Queen. All coins struck after 1998 feature Ian Rank-Broadleys fourth-generation depiction of the Queen. The reverse of all gold sovereign coins, dating back to their reintroduction in 1817, includes a design from Benedetto Pistrucci of St. George and the dragon. The history of St. George and a depiction of him killing a dragon dates back as far as the 7th century, and he is often revered as a soldier saint.

The fall of 1998 was a real turning point when I reached a cross roads and took my last drink of alcohol. I wanted the thrill of victory instead of the agony of defeat and I wanted comeback power! I stopped blaming other people, my childhood and outside circumstances, then took massive action. I started reading and studying everything I could get my hands on about self-improvement, motivation and success. At first it was a daily struggle and my life didn't change overnight. Bit by bit, my life turned from despair to real hope. My transformation began with a change in my thinking and I became laser-focused, with different, consistent action on a daily basis. Were there days I wanted to just give up? Of course. Was it easy? No! Was it worth it? Absolutely yes! And I was willing to do whatever it took. One thing I found out was, when your life is a mess, you can't wrap your mind around anything very complicated. You need a solution that is simple and gets real results that last. I developed my own easy, practical techniques and simple systems that really worked when nothing else had before. I used them to get myself out of the mess with my taxes, get my finances straightened out, pay off my debt and turn my life around. In 2008 I received a certification in conflict resolution which helped me to start resolving the conflicts I had in my own life. Because of how my life had turned around, I saw the value this could bring to others so I started my speaking and life coaching business. It felt so good to help my clients change their bad habits and self-defeating behavior - I had finally found my passion again. Once again life was good until I crashed and burned, hitting rock bottom. I had gone for my dream at any cost including my health so I had to put my dream on hold and learn to take care of me. I was also able to overcome severe Adrenal fatigue, sugar addiction and stop allowing toxic people in my life. I stopped repeating the same patterns over and over and was able to turn my health around. I learned through all of this that no matter how many times I was knocked down, a little part of me was still standing up on the inside. I knew deep down inside that I didn't want to go through all my pain and struggle for nothing. I wanted to use my experiences to help other people who were going through the same kind of challenges. My purpose is to inspire, help you become self-empowered and help you get back on track! My passion is helping people just like you transform their lives to breakthrough and take their lives to a new level of success. My core strengths come from my own personal real-life experiences, because at one time, I was just like so many of my clients. Believe me, I'm no stranger to tragedy, adversity and obstacles! I grew up a poor little country girl from Ft. Worth, Texas. In 1977 I met and married the man of my dreams, a former U.S. World and Olympic figure skater. Shortly afterwards, we became international figure skating coaches and I had finally found my passion in life! Life was great until May 5, 1986, when I came home and found my husband dead from a heart attack. I was devastated and it turned my world upside down. I spent the next several years on an emotional roller coaster, pulling myself up by my boot straps and eating my way into an extra 40 lbs. of oblivion. I spiraled downward into a complete mental breakdown - I was broken and a complete mess. Shortly afterwards I made the painful decision to give up coaching, the second love of my life. At first I thought I could handle everything without any help, which turned out to be a disaster. So I decided, reluctantly, that I needed to get professional counseling, that saved me. I was finally able to crawl out of the dark, depths of despair and start putting my life back together. Then I had to figure out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I knew deep down that I wanted to help people, so I became a massage therapist. Two years later, with only a few dollars to my name, my clothes and a car, I moved back to Texas where I started a private practice in massage therapy.

If most Michiganders support a graduated income tax, why has Lansing turned a deaf ear? Who's paying their fair share in Michigan? For decades, the state has had a flat tax - right now, it's 4.25% - but some say it's time to join the 34 other states that have a graduated income tax rate. That system would work similar to how the federal income tax does. High-income earners would pay a larger percentage; lower-income earners would pay a smaller percentage. According to Michigan State Rep. Jim Townsend, a Democrat from Royal Oak, a graduated income tax rate would net about $700 million in new revenue for the state. For most people, it would mean a tax break, if you structured it properly. The change would allow for 95% of Michigan taxpayers to pay less than the 4.25% we all pay now while only 5% would pay more. Is that about fairness? Would that push us more toward a balanced economic system that provides opportunity at the bottom? Or is it punishing the rich to ask them to pay more? According to Rep. Townsend, Michigan residents overwhelmingly favor a graduated income tax. So, why hasn't it been enacted? It appears that the Republican controlled state legislature isn't so keen on embracing an idea that is high on the Democratic agenda. Does a graduated income tax have a future in Michigan? Can supporters raise enough money — $1 million — to accumulate enough signatures — roughly 315,000 — to get this tax reform measure? It would require a state constitutional amendment on the 2016 ballot. Rep. Townsend says lower and middle income earners pay a much higher percentage of their income to the Michigan sales tax than the wealthy. The graduated income tax is designed to make sure everyone is paying the same proportion of their income in all state and local taxes combined. Lupher says we have a prohibition on graduated income taxes in the Michigan State constitution. He adds later that while we have a 4.25% income tax rate in the state, nobody is paying 4.25% of their income since we have a very high standard deduction.

We stopped for a few days in Tulum, Mexico to meet up with Francesco's friend, Lou. Francesco had been raving about the beautiful beach in Tulum so I knew I would love it! Tulum is about 2 hours south of Cancun and is known for it's ruins that are right on the cliff overlooking the ocean. We explored the ruins in the morning, which were definitely not as impressive as Copan or Tikal but still pretty awesome given their amazing location! There were also huge iguanas everywhere! I don't know what was more fun, running into these huge lizards sunning themselves or watching the tourists go crazy taking pictures of them! Given it's proximity to Cancun, there were busloads of tourists checking out Tulum. There were lines of tourists taking pictures of iguanas on the cliggs that made me think of Disney World of tourists. The afternoon was spent snorkeling and laying on the beautiful beach. Tulum is lined by part of the second longest reef in the world and the sand on the beach is amazing! It is very powdery and doesn't get hot in the sun. We celebrated our last night together with a few Sol beers at a restaurant in Tulum. Instead of bar stools it had swings! I also indulged in one last plate of tacos. There were 7 different options on the menu, so I ordered one of each! It was a ton of food but I cleaned my plate. Good thing I'm going to be working out a ton when I get back to the States! The boys did some shopping and then for some reason needed a second dinner! Pizza!? Given that I ate twice the number of tacos than they did at dinner I definitely wasn't hungry. Tomorrow I'm off to Cancun to catch my flight home and Lou and Francesco are going to spend a week checking out the Yucatan Peninsula. I can't believe I'm about to head back to cold Wisconsin!

Given the amount of fresh deposit and LRR, the total money/credit creation/deposit creation formula is: Money /credit /deposit creation =Initial deposits × □(1/LRR) Thus, the total deposit created by the commercial banks is equal to initial deposits multiplied by reciprocal of legal reserve ratio. Credit multiplier is equal to the reciprocal of legal reserve ration. Lower legal reserve ratio leads to higher credit creation whereas higher legal reserve ratio leads to lower credit creations. The ability of the commercial banks to create credit is not unlimited. It is subject to a number of limitations like legal reserve ratio, total fresh deposits, and monetary policy of the Central Banks. CBSE Economics Notes Central bank is an apex institution that controls and regulates the monetary and banking system of the country. It is the sole agency of note-issue in a country. It serves as a banker to the banks and government, and controls the supply of money in the country. In other words, central bank is an institution which controls the entire monetary and banking system of a country. The central bank is called by different names in different countries. In India, it is called by the name Reserve Bank of India, in England-Bank of England and in America-Federal Reserve System etc. Central bank differs from the commercial banks in the following respects: ( CBSE Economics Notes ) A central bank is a government institution whereas a commercial bank is a government or a private institution. A central bank does not work for profit motive whereas the major aim of a commercial bank is to earn maximum profit. A central bank does not directly deal with the public but a commercial bank directly deals with the public. A central bank has the monopoly of note issue. This power is not enjoyed by a commercial bank. A central bank controls credit in a country whereas a commercial bank creates credit in a country. There is only one central bank in a country, but there could be many commercial banks.

PH debt climbs to P12.89 trillion by end of July | Inquirer Business PROPERTY GUIDE STOCK MARKET QUARTERLY business / Economy PH debt climbs to P12.89 trillion by end of July By: Ben O. de Vera - Reporter / @bendeveraINQ Philippine Daily Inquirer / 05:47 PM September 03, 2022 The national government's outstanding debt inched closer to the P13-trillion mark, reaching a new high of P12.89 trillion in July due to additional local and foreign borrowings, aggravated by a weak peso. The latest Bureau of the Treasury (BTr) data released on Saturday showed that outstanding obligations as of end-July rose 0.8 percent from P12.79 trillion in June, and climbed 11 percent from P11.61 trillion a year ago. Finance Secretary Benjamin Diokno told legislators last month that the end-July debt pile was estimated by the Department of Finance (DOF) to be equivalent to 62.1 percent of gross domestic product (GDP). The debt-to-GDP ratio is said to be the better measure of an economy's capability to repay its obligations. Credit rating agencies considered the 60 percent public debt-to-GDP level as manageable among emerging markets like the Philippines. U.S. restaurant chain eyes expansion in Philippines German firm puts up $16-M machine parts factory in Batangas The government expects debt-to-GDP to settle at 62 percent — a 17-year-high — by yearend, equivalent to a record P13.43 trillion in debts. Domestic debts, which accounted for the bulk or 68.5 percent of total, increased 0.7 percent month-on-month and 8.8 percent year-on-year to P8.83 trillion. In a statement, the BTr said borrowings raised from treasury bills and bonds minus maturities resulted in an additional P64.33 billion in locally sourced debts last July. The government borrows more from local creditors to temper foreign exchange risks while taking advantage of a liquid financial system. The weaker peso also added P740 million to the domestic debt stock. The peso slid to 55.322:$1 in end-July from 54.97 versus the greenback last June. External debts also rose 0.8 percent month-on-month and jumped 16.2 percent year-on-year to P4.06 trillion. The BTr said the peso's depreciation added P25.77 billion to foreign debt, while a net of P6 billion was borrowed from creditors overseas, including bilateral development partners and multilateral lenders offering concessional or low-interest loans. Last Friday, the peso fell to an all-time low of P56.77 against the US dollar, hence likely further bloating debt figures. While reaching another record high, separate BTr data breaking down these debts showed what government officials had described as still a "sustainable" composition of its outstanding obligations. For instance, peso-denominated debt accounted for 68.3 percent of total, amounting to P8.8 trillion. Also, the bulk of outstanding debts were debt securities issued by the government, with P11.07-trillion worth. Loans accounted for only P1.82 trillion. By maturity, P8.77-trillion worth or 68 percent of total were long-term borrowings or maturing in over 10 years; P3.58 trillion (27.8 percent) were medium-term debts set to mature between one and 10 years; and over P537 billion (4.2 percent) in short-term debt maturing within less than one year. As of end-July, the government borrowed P1.25 trillion, which was 45 percent lower than its borrowings a year ago. Diokno earlier told legislators tackling the proposed P5.268-trillion 2023 national budget that the Philippines' borrowing needs "will decline significantly, because I don't think we'll have another pandemic in the near future." The prolonged COVID-19 pandemic forced massive borrowings to beef up the government's war chest in order to give away cash dole-outs to the most vulnerable sectors, as well as vaccinate the majority of the population for free. Diokno had said it helped that the national government's end-July revenue collection was above target, as the seven-month tax and non-tax take of P2.04 trillion was 6 percent bigger than the P1.92-trillion goal. "Our improved collection performance rests on the back of increased economic activity due to the full reopening of the economy, complemented by a more digitalized bureaucracy," Diokno had said. "With these key enablers in place, we expect our revenue collection to reach our target of P3.3 trillion pesos this year. This is 10 percent higher than in 2021 and already surpassing the pre-pandemic level of P3.1 trillion," according to Diokno. Government revenues were estimated to reach P3.63 trillion, including P500 million from privatization, next year. By 2023, the government will borrow a gross amount of P2.2 trillion, slightly lower than this year's borrowings. Next year's borrowings will include P1.65 trillion to be sourced locally, of which P1.59 trillion will come from the issuance of fixed-rate treasury bonds, while a net of P54.1 billion will be funded by short-dated T-bills (P621.1 billion in gross issuance next year offset by P567-billion maturities). Similar to this year, three-fourths of the government's borrowings in 2023 will be raised from the domestic debt market to take advantage of a liquid financial system while tempering foreign exchange risks. External borrowings will further go down to P553.5 billion next year. Among the foreign borrowings programmed for next year included P219.2 billion from program loans and P69.3 billion from project loans extended by multilateral lenders and bilateral development partners, as well as P265 billion to be raised from offshore commercial bond issuances denominated in foreign currencies. Citing a report from the DOF's international finance group, budget documents said the government will avail of $2.84 billion in program loans from the Manila-based Asian Development Bank (ADB) next year (up from $2.57-billion worth this year); $836.2-million worth from the Washington-based World Bank (up from this year's $740.5 million); $400 million from the Beijing-based Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) for the proposed support to post-COVID 19 business and employment recovery loan in the pipeline; plus $57.2-million worth of financing from the Agence Française de Développement's (AFD), down from this year's $286.1 million in loans. In all, the Philippines will avail of $4.14-billion worth (about P219.2 billion) of low-interest, concessional loans next year, up from $3.86 billion (P200.9 billion) this year, and $3.38 billion (P166.1 billion) last year. Despite slightly lower borrowings planned for next year, the national government's outstanding debt will further climb to a new record-high of P14.63 trillion by the end of 2023, or President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s administration's first full-year in office. Budget documents had also shown that the government will repay a record P1.6 trillion in debts next year — the highest yearly debt servicing on record — due to the massive borrowings that piled up amid the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. Next year's debt servicing will be higher than the P1.26 trillion programmed to pay outstanding obligations this year. In 2023, the government will repay P1.35 trillion in domestic debts (up from P1.02 trillion this year), plus P253.8 billion in foreign obligations (up from this year's P240.1 billion). Debt payments next year will be composed of a record P1.02 trillion in principal amortization (up from P751.1 billion this year), on top of P582.3 billion in interest payments (up from this year's P512.6 billion).

Financial Services Research & Analysis Daily Global Market Summary - 1 July 2020 01 July 2020 Chris Fenske Global equities ended the first trading day of Q3 2020 mixed, but with limited price action in either direction. Credit indices and oil ended the day higher, while benchmark government bonds were lower on the day. COVID-19 cases continue to grow in the US at an alarming rate, with California now becoming a particular concern. All eyes will be on tomorrow's simultaneous releases of the US non-farm payroll and jobless claims reports at 8:30am EST on the last US trading day ahead of the July 4th holiday weekend. California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced today a slew of new restrictions, including the mandatory closure of many bars and indoor restaurants. Nearly 6,000 people tested positive for the new coronavirus in California Tuesday, and more than 7,000 on Monday, the highest total during the pandemic and a 45% increase over the previous week. Hospitalizations are up more than 50% from two weeks ago. The percentage of tests coming back positive was 6% on Tuesday, up more than a full percentage point from two weeks earlier. (WSJ) US equity markets closed mixed, with a sudden sell-off occurring during the last 10 minutes of the trading day; Nasdaq +1.0%, S&P 500 +0.5%, DJIA -0.3%, and Russell 2000 -1.0%. The chart below highlights that for the third consecutive day, most of the largest intraday changes in the S&P 500 among 10-minute intervals occurred within the final 15 minutes of the trading day: 10yr US govt bonds closed +2bps/0.68% yield. CDX-NAIG closed -1bp/75bps and CDX-NAHY -5bps/511bps. Similar to US equity indices, CDX IG/HY began to sell-off during the final minutes of the trading session: Hotel & Lodging REITs +4.42% was the best performing sector in June among the BB rated issues in the IHS Markit iBoxx USD High Yield index. The charts below shows the performance of all the sectors that had a minimum of 10 constituents, with the color of the bars indicating the average bond bidside price in that sector as of June 30. Crude oil closed +1.4%/$39.82 per barrel. Venezuelan oil supply plunged to a historic new low in June, falling below 250,000 b/d according to our latest estimates. Low oil prices have hurt national oil company PDVSA, exacerbating the many challenges that have contributed to the country's spectacular decline over the past five years. But the main impetus for this most recent leg down in supply has been the Trump administration's concerted effort to sanction the tanker companies and traders that link Venezuelan oil with the global market. The effort has caused havoc for PDVSA's logistics and choked off the Venezuelan oil trade. Loadings from Venezuela were only around 230,000 b/d over the first 20 days of June, according to our vessel tracking data, down from an average of 900,000 b/d earlier this year. With PDVSA struggling to get oil to market, inventories are bloating, and production is being forced to shut in. So long as the US sanctioning effort continues, PDVSA is likely to see supply remain in this new very low range and there is a risk of exports falling to close to zero in the coming months. (IHS Markit Energy Advisory's Roger Diwan, Karim Fawaz, Justin Jacobs, Edward Moe, and Sean Karst) The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) met on 9 and 10 June amid indications that economic activity was beginning to bounce back from extreme disruptions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. The FOMC kept the target range for the federal funds rate at 0% to 0.25% and indicated that asset purchases would continue at least at current rates. Discussion at the meeting was particularly weighty, reflecting enormous uncertainty and elevated downside risks to the economic outlook related to the spread of the virus and the efficacy of measures taken to limit its impacts. Policymakers on the FOMC are likely to issue more detailed guidance in the near future about conditions that would keep the federal funds rate at its current setting for an extended period—likely several years. Such forward guidance will be linked to benchmarks referencing labor markets and inflation. The FOMC appears poised to adopt a policy of promoting a modest, temporary overshoot of 2% inflation as part of a commitment to seeing inflation fluctuations centered around 2% over time. There was much discussion but no consensus about targeting yields on government securities. (IHS Markit Economists Ken Matheny and Kathleen Navin) The seasonally adjusted IHS Markit final U.S. Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) posted 49.8 in June, up a record 10points from 39.8 in May, to signal a marked easing in the overall manufacturing downturn. The latest figure was also slightly higher than the earlier released 'flash' reading of 49.6. (IHS Markit Economist Chris Williamson) Contributing to the slower decline in operating conditions was a stabilization of new orders. No change in client demand in June brought to an end a three-month sequence of contraction in new business and signaled a notable turnaround from the severe decrease seen in April. Where an increase was reported, firms linked this to a gradual pick-up in demand as customers reopened. New export orders continued to fall, however. Although modest, the drop in external sales was linked to some export markets remaining closed amid COVID-19 restrictions and reports of some customers switching to local suppliers. Meanwhile, cost burdens rose in June as suppliers hiked their prices due to logistical issues and higher shipping costs. The increase was only marginal, however. At the same time, firms partially passed on greater input prices to customers through higher selling prices. Employment across the manufacturing sector declined for the fourth month running in June, as firms shed workers at a moderate pace following subdued demand. Signs of excess capacity remained evident as manufacturers registered a sharp reduction in backlogs of work. US employers announced 170,219 planned layoffs in June, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas—down 57% from May's total of 397, 016 (April marked a record-shattering high for the index; Challenger began tracking job-cut announcements in January 1993). It is better, but it is not great. June's number was up 306% over the same period a year earlier.(IHS Markit Economist Rebecca Mitchell) All told, Challenger recorded 1,238,364 million job cuts announced by US-based employers in the second quarter, the highest quarterly total on record. Cuts were up 257% from the first quarter of the year and up 781% from the second quarter of 2019. June was the fourth month to report job-cut announcements specifically because of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. However, just as in the previous three months, the number does not include the furloughed workers. Year to date (YTD), 1,585,047 cuts have been announced, 379% higher than the same period in 2019 and 77% higher than the previous January-June record of 896,657 cuts in 2009. Out of the 30 industries tracked by Challenger, only three—pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and financials—posted fewer losses in the first half of 2020 than they did in 2019. Unsurprisingly, the hardest-hit sector and recipient of the lion's share of the coronavirus-related cuts continues to be the entertainment/leisure sector, which encompasses bars, restaurants, hotels, and amusement parks. YTD, companies in the entertainment/leisure sector have announced 671,840 cuts, 7,535% higher than during the same period in 2019. Total US construction spending declined 2.1% in May, a bit less than IHS Markit had expected. Since reaching a peak in February, nominal construction has declined 5.9%. This compares favorably to nominal monthly GDP, which we estimate declined 12.5% from February to May. (IHS Markit Economists Ben Herzon and Lawrence Nelson) Given its general acceptance as an essential activity, construction spending has held up reasonably well, although financial strains and other challenges facing construction could prevent an upturn in coming months. Core construction spending declined 2.5% in May, less of a decline than we expected. However, the data through May did not alter our estimate of second-quarter GDP growth to the nearest 0.1 percentage point (-35.6%). This morning's report included annual revisions. The most significant one was to the multifamily residential category—its seasonally and not-seasonally adjusted estimates were revised back to 2004 and 2009, respectively, based on a methodological improvement. This raised its level over the entire 2009-20 interval; the 2019 spending level totaled $80.2 billion (previously $61.3 billion). Bankrupt Hertz Global Holdings Inc. and its bondholders are squaring off over how to shrink its nearly half-a-million vehicle fleet. The cars are housed in an entity linked to Hertz's asset-backed securities and leased to the rental giant. Normally, when a company with ABS files for bankruptcy, it must choose to confirm or reject the entire master lease tied to the debt. Hertz wants a judge to allow it to convert the master lease into 494,000 separate agreements so it can reject the terms on 144,000 vehicles. That would allow Hertz to save roughly $80 million a month while it hangs onto the remainder of the cars as it seeks to emerge from bankruptcy a viable company. If the motion fails, Hertz may press for a reduction in payments to creditors, according to people familiar with the matter. (Blomberg) The United Auto Workers' (UAW) local union has reportedly requested that General Motors (GM) temporarily suspend production at its assembly plant in Arlington, Texas, United States, as the state is seeing increases in cases of COVID-19. An Automotive News report quotes a statement on the union's website as saying, "Due to the most recent data on the COVID-19 outbreak, the Bargaining Committee has asked General Motors to shut down Arlington Assembly until the curve is flattened for the benefit and well-being of our members. Every day we are setting new records in the number of people who are testing positive in the Dallas-Fort Worth area." The report also cites a GM spokesperson as saying, "We're aware of the request and haven't made changes to our production plans because we have protocols designed to keep the virus out of the facility and have multiple layers of protection in the plant to prevent a spread of the virus. There's no need to interrupt production." The GM plant in Arlington is beginning production of the automaker's latest full-size sport utility vehicles (SUVs), which will be significant for GM's sales and revenue because of their high prices and profit margins. (IHS Markit AutoIntelligence's Stephanie Brinley) Lyft is resuming autonomous vehicle (AV) operations in Palo Alto, California (United States), more than three months after suspending its operations in response to shelter-in-place orders due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) virus pandemic (see United States: 18 March 2020: Uber, Lyft suspend pooled rides; Waymo, Cruise, Argo postpone self-driving tests). The company has rolled out some of its AVs for testing at its closed track in Palo Alto, but it has not resumed a pilot program that provides rides to Lyft employees in the city. The company has listed some safety measures that it plans to undertake, including regular sanitizing of its vehicles and requiring engineers to wear a face shield and have temperature checks. Lyft initiated its AV operations in July 2017 to build an open platform for AVs, which the company refers to as Level 5. Lyft's Level 5 division comprises 400 employees, including autonomy and robotics experts who have previously worked at Waymo, Ford, Apple, Tesla, Google, and Microsoft. (IHS Markit Automotive Mobility's Surabhi Rajpal) The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement came into force today (1 July), replacing the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement. The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) updates the 25-year-old North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), with modifications including a focus on resolution of disputes at a local level prior to international arbitration. The USMCA includes new provisions on intellectual property, digital trade, taxing of shipment value levels, financial services, currency manipulation, labor, and the environment. Notably, the USMCA increases local content requirements in the automotive sector from 62.5% within member countries to 75%. NAFTA's investor-state dispute mechanism has also been modified to favor the resolution of US-Mexico disputes in local courts by delaying for at least 30 months their potential elevation to international arbitration, although key sectors such as hydrocarbons, electricity, telecoms, transport, and infrastructure will be exempt (agribusiness not included). The USMCA's entry into force increases the stability of the Mexico-US trade relationship (worth USD614.5 billion in 2019), but sunset provisions threaten to generate trade regulation uncertainty every six years. (IHS Markit Country Risk's Johanna Marris) PolyOne today announced completion of the acquisition of the color masterbatch businesses of Clariant and the Clariant Chemicals India affiliate. PolyOne also announced that it had changed its name and will now be called Avient Corp. "We proudly welcome our newest associates…They are joining us on Day 1 of this new era for our company, which as of today will be named Avient," says Robert Patterson, chairman, president, and CEO of Avient. He says the new brand brings together two world leaders to create a specialty company. The agreement to acquire the Clariant masterbatch business was announced in December 2019. The business includes 46 manufacturing operations and technology centers across 29 countries and approximately 3,500 employees, who will join Avient's color, additives, and inks segment. The combined net purchase price is $1.44 billion, representing a 10.8 times (x) multiple of 2019 adjusted EBITDA, or 7.5x including anticipated synergies. Colombia's central bank yesterday (30 June) voted to cut interest rates from 2.75% to 2.50% (a historical low), while also announcing extended liquidity and credit support. The economy slowed significantly during the first quarter and is set to have declined at a much sharper rate during the second quarter; inflation is below target and provides the bank with plenty of room to cut rates further. Inflation in Colombia fell to 2.85% in May (the target is 3%), while basic inflation fell to 2.44%, and expectations are now below target. Weak domestic demand is underpinned by deteriorating labor market conditions: unemployment reached 17.8% in May, a sharp increase from the end of 2019 when unemployment was 9.5%. (IHS Markit Economist Ellie Vorhaben) According to data from Argentina's National Institute of Statistics and Census (Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos: INDEC), the economic activity index decreased by 26.4% year on year (y/y) in April. The seasonally adjusted data show a 17.5% month-on-month (m/m) decrease during the month. For the first four months of 2020, the steep declines in April and March drove down the average to an 11% y/y decline. (IHS Markit Economist Paula Diosquez-Rice) By sector, the economic activity index data show only declines in April. For example, there were steep declines in the construction sector, which decreased by 86.4% y/y; the hospitality sector, which was down by 85.6% y/y; the manufacturing sector, which fell by 34.4% y/y; the wholesale and retail sector, which shrank by 27.0% y/y; and the transport and communication sector, which dropped by 26.1% y/y. Argentine real retail sales increased by 0.2% y/y in supermarkets but plunged by almost 100% y/y in shopping centers in April as these were not considered essential and remained mostly closed. In terms of supermarket sales, the main drivers of growth were electronics and appliances, pantry dry goods, dairy products, and fresh produce. Argentina's manufacturing capacity decreased to 42% in April. Chemicals had the highest utilized capacity, at 69.3%, followed by paper and cardboard, food and beverages, and editing and printing. The sectors with the least utilized capacity were the automotive industry, at 0%, and the textiles industry, at 4.2%. Europe/Middle East/ Africa Most European equity markets closed modestly lower; Germany -0.4%, Italy/France/UK -0.2%, and Spain -0.1%. 10yr European govt bonds closed lower across the region; Germany/France +6bps, Spain/UK +4bps, and Italy +1bp. iTraxx-Europe -1bp/65bps and iTraxx-Xover -12bps/370bps. Brent crude closed +1.8%/$42.03 per barrel. Zoetis has bolstered its Pharmaq aquaculture health business by purchasing Scottish firm Fish Vet Group. Fish Vet - established in 1995 and based in Inverness - develops and commercializes vaccines, diagnostics and services for aquaculture. It previously belonged to UK firm Benchmark, which is currently divesting non-core assets. Benchmark said Fish Vet was sold for a total cash consideration of £14.4-14.7 million ($17.8-18.2 million). The transaction follows the recent sale of Improve International, as Benchmark becomes a more streamlined and profitable business focused on genetics and nutrition. The acquisition will allow Pharmaq's new reference laboratory in Norway to offer fish farmers improved environmental testing capabilities. Fish Vet helps fish producers comply with strict regulatory standards by offering surveys and analysis to "monitor potential environmental impact and inform responsible fish disease treatments, as part of a sustainable aquaculture system". The company's testing and analysis enables producers to check the environmental impact of existing fish farms and calculate the potential consequences of new locations. Fish Vet also allows customers to determine and monitor seabed conditions, as well as provide input to required regulatory submissions. (IHS Markit Animal Health's Joseph Harvey) According to Federal Statistical Office (FSO) data, Germany's real retail sales excluding cars rebounded by an astonishing 13.9% month on month (m/m; seasonally and calendar adjusted) in May, their largest monthly increase ever. Notwithstanding the key factor of the reopening of stores for non-essential goods, the magnitude of this increase remains remarkable. (IHS Markit Economist Timo Klein) This sizeable recovery also boosted unadjusted year-on-year (y/y) rates from -6.4% to 3.8% in real terms and from -5.2% to 4.6% in nominal terms, despite the dampening influence of a missing shopping day relative to May 2019. In shopping-day adjusted terms, May's annual rates are far above average growth of 3.1% (real) and 3.6% (nominal) in 2019. Major categories of the price-adjusted y/y data for May (total 3.8% y/y) reveal that food sales (4.9%) remained modestly ahead of non-food sales (3.5%), but this still implies a huge rebound of the latter as consumers satisfied their pent-up demand owing to the temporary closure of most non-food retail outlets between mid-March and late April. Food sales broadly retained the same growth pace as in the month before, probably still benefitting from substitution effects as restaurants only opened gradually during May and with reduced capacity. Among non-food sales, 'internet and mail orders' (up by 28.7% y/y) stayed ahead of the rest in annual terms, with 'furniture/household goods/DIY' now in second place at 8.6% y/y. 'Specialty stores such as for toys, books, jewelry' narrowly posted positive annual growth as well (1.4%), but sales at general department stores "only" recovered from April's -40.3% to -8.3% y/y, and the previously outperforming pharmaceutical/cosmetic goods category softened to -6.3% y/y. The most extreme decline continues to be seen in textiles/shoes at -22.6% y/y - although still a major improvement from April's -70.7% y/y. The GfK consumer confidence index has been recovering during the last two months, but its increase from a low-point of -23.1 to -9.6 means that less than half of the downturn from the levels around 9.0 in early 2020 has been recouped. Among the three components that determine the headline index, households' assessments of their personal financial situation are still below their long-term average, whereas the willingness to make major purchases has recovered to a greater extent and last exceeded its long-term average. Seasonally adjusted German unemployment has increased by 69,000 in June, much less than the average monthly increase of 305,000 in April-May. The unemployment level at end-June was 2.943 million, which compares to only 2.265 in March. (IHS Markit Economist Timo Klein) Separately, the Labor Agency has calculated the COVID-19 effect, estimating that this is responsible for a monthly increase by 60,000 in June, following 197,000 in May and 381,000 in April. The German unemployment situation in mid-2020 has now returned to conditions that prevailed in mid-2015, as the unemployment rate has now increased from 5.0% in March (close to 40-year lows) to 6.4% in June. Seasonally adjusted underemployment (as opposed to unemployment), which had deviated in both directions during 2019 due to fluctuations in the number of people receiving some form of (non-insurance related) government support - included in the underemployment but not the unemployment number - only increased by 56,000 month on month (m/m) in June. As already seen in recent months, this is related to a declining number of people benefiting from such public support measures: -17.0% y/y in June, similar to May's -16.1% but contrasting sharply with +1.9% y/y as recently as in March. This is technically induced, as the contact impediments (to contain the spreading of the virus) and the surge in short-time work applications has left little room for processing support measures such as training. The multi-year upward trend for employment continues to correct now. In May (employment data lag unemployment numbers by one month), seasonally adjusted employment fell by 314,000, following declines by 273,000 in April and 39,000 in March. Meanwhile, company announcements about planned (new) short-time work, which are one month further ahead, were at 0.342 million during 1-25 June. This is down sharply from 1.14 million in May, 8.02 million in April, and 2.64 million in March. Seasonally adjusted vacancies are already available until June. They declined by 20,000 m/m, the pace thus slowing down from April's -67,000 and May's -45,000 m/m. June's level of 563,000, representing a return to conditions in 2015, compares to an all-time high of 810,000 in December 2018 and a cyclical trough of 281,000 in the wake of the global financial market crisis in July 2009. Daimler Trucks is consistently driving forward series production of fuel cells with Daimler Truck Fuel Cell GmbH & Co. KG. In the past 10 years, experts from Daimler have already built up extensive know-how in this field and have developed production methods and processes. In close co-operation with their colleagues in Vancouver (Canada), and with the ongoing fuel cell development activities, the Stuttgart-based experts are now transferring that experience to the direct preliminary stage of future series production. Investments are being made in new state-of-the-art facilities covering every single process stage of fuel cell production: from membrane coating and stack manufacturing to the production of fuel cell units. Commenting Martin Daum, Chairman of the Board of Management for Daimler Truck said, "We are pursuing the vision of the CO2-neutral transportation of the future. The hydrogen-based fuel cell is a key technology of strategic importance in this context. We are now consistently following the path towards the series production of fuel cells and are thus doing absolutely pioneering work - and this goes beyond the automotive industry. We will invest a very substantial sum in the coming years to achieve this." In April this year Daimler announced a non-binding agreement with the Volvo Group to establish a new joint venture (JV) for the development and marketing of fuel cell systems to be used in heavy-duty commercial vehicles and other applications. (IHS Markit AutoIntelligence's Tim Urquhart) Portuguese industrial production rose by 2.5% month on month (m/m) in May, according to seasonally and working-day-adjusted data released by Statistics Portugal. Production had declined by 19.3% m/m in April and 8.5% m/m in March. (IHS Markit Economist Diego Iscaro) Output still fell by 26.0% when compared against May 2019, following an annual drop of 27.4% in April. The breakdown by type of production shows production of consumer goods rising by 9.0% m/m, boosted by a 58.9% m/m increase in production of consumer durables. Production of investment goods also rebounded by 26.9% m/m, following a fall of 31.3% m/m in April. Energy production, which accounts for 17% of total production, declined by 14.9% m/m in May. On a year-on-year (y/y) basis, production fell in all sectors, but the decline was particularly acute for consumer goods. The m/m increase was weaker than expected, although the sharp drop in energy production (likely still affected by drought conditions, which hit production of hydro-electric-generated energy) distorted the figures. Data on car production for May, released in mid-June, had already suggested a slow recovery in output. The Swedish central bank (Riksbank) voted to provide more stimulus to support the economic recovery in its end of June meeting. However, it has kept the policy rate (repo rate) unchanged; the last move was a rise of 25 basis points, to 0%, in December 2019. Most recently, the Riksbank has expanded the asset purchase program from SEK300 billion to SEK500 billion (from 6% to 10% of 2019 GDP), extended it from September 2020 to June 2021 and will begin buying corporate bonds on top of government, municipal, and mortgage bonds and commercial paper. As a result, its balance sheet is expected to double to close to 20% of GDP by mid-2021. Additionally, to support lending to the economy, the Riksbank cut the interest rate on the standing facility for lending to banks from 0.2 to 0.1%, while offering longer maturities. (IHS Markit Economist Daniel Kral) The global pandemic has severely undercut export demand, particularly to the European Union. With exports plunging for the third consecutive month, Turkey's merchandise-trade deficit has grown rapidly, as its own import demand has not fallen nearly as sharply. The rapid deterioration of the trade deficit is projected to push the current account back into deficit for 2020 as a whole. For the third consecutive month, Turkish exports were substantially down from year-earlier levels, as the fight against the COVID-19 virus pandemic continues to devastate demand in foreign markets. In May, shipments to the European Union - Turkey's largest export market - plunged by 44.3% year on year (y/y). (IHS Markit Economist Andrew Birch) While the pandemic has decimated foreign economic activity, the less stringent crackdown within Turkey and sustained expansionary economic policies have mitigated the drop-off of imports. While still down significantly on year-earlier levels, import losses have been substantially less than have been export declines. As a result, Turkey's merchandise-trade deficit has widened substantially from a year earlier. For January-May 2020 as a whole, the merchandise-trade deficit reached USD21.0 billion, more than twice as large as it had been in the same period of 2019. South Africa's seasonally adjusted annualized rate (SAAR) of real GDP contracted by 2.0 quarter on quarter (q/q) and 0.3% year on year (y/y) during the first quarter of 2020, latest statistics from Statistics South Africa (StatsSA) show. This represents the third consecutive quarterly contraction in South Africa's SAAR GDP. The largest negative contributors to the first-quarter GDP were the mining and manufacturing sectors, in which activity fell by 21.5% and 8.5% respectively in real seasonally adjusted annualized terms. (IHS Markit Economist Thea Fourie) Sectors that made the biggest positive contribution to the first quarter's GDP included agriculture (up 27.8%, contributing 0.5 percentage point), finance (up 3.7%, contributing 0.8 percentage point), and general government services (up 1.0%, contributing 0.1 percentage point). Both household and government consumption expenditure made a positive contribution to real GDP during the first quarter. Household final consumption expenditure increased by 0.7% q/q in real seasonally adjusted annualized terms, while government final consumption expenditure increased by 1.1% q/q. Real gross fixed capital formation contracted by a massive 20.5% q/q in SAAR terms in the first quarter. In addition, there was a 3.4% q/q fall in the change of inventories, a 2.3% q/q fall in exports, and a 16.7% q/q slowdown in imports. APAC equity markets closed mixed; China/India +1.4%, Australia +0.6%, Hong Kong +0.5%, South Korea -0.1%, and Japan -0.8%. The diffusion index (DI) of current business conditions in the Bank of Japan (BoJ)'s June 2020 Tankan survey for large manufacturing groupings moved down with the second-largest quarter-on-quarter (q/q) decline (26 points) to -34, marking the lowest figure since June 2009. This reflected declines in the DIs for all manufacturing industries, including a 55-point drop for autos to -72. (IHS Markit Economist Harumi Taguchi) The DI for large non-manufacturing groupings also fell sharply, dropping by 25 points to -17, the largest q/q drop since the survey started. Although stay-home/working-from-home lifestyles lifted the DI for retail stores (up nine points to 2), COVID-19 virus containment measures severely dampened personal services (down 64 points to -70) and accommodations and eating and drinking services (down 32 points to -91). Containment measures also hit businesses for small-sized enterprises, as the DIs of small-sized manufacturing and non-manufacturing industry groupings marked the largest q/q declines to -45 and -26, respectively. With the lifting of Japan's state of emergency in late May, the forecast DI for three months out improved for large manufacturing and non-manufacturing groupings by seven points to -27 and by three points to -14, respectively, suggesting that large enterprises expect business conditions to improve moderately despite a continued deterioration on expectations of weak domestic and external demand. The forecast DIs for small enterprises anticipate more severe business conditions even three months out. Sales plans for fiscal year (FY) 2020 (beginning from April) were revised down from the March survey in all sized, all industry groupings, reflecting repercussions from domestic and external containment measures and sluggish outlooks. Although large enterprises expect sales to swing to a marginal rise in the second half of FY 2020, the sales for all enterprises in FY 2020 are projected to decline by 3.9% year on year (y/y), following a 1.4% y/y fall in FY 2019. The outlook for current profits for all enterprises in FY 2020 was also revised to a contraction of 19.8% y/y, following a 9.6% y/y decrease in FY 2019. Japanese new vehicle sales, including mainstream and mini-vehicles, were down by 23% year on year (y/y) in June to 347,371 units. In the year to date (YTD), sales declined by 20% y/y to 2.207 million units. (IHS Markit AutoIntelligence's Nitin Budhiraja) Japanese sales of mainstream registered vehicles were 214,857 units, down by 26% y/y during June, according to data released by the Japan Automobile Dealers Association (JADA) today (1 July). This figure excludes mini-vehicles, thus covering all vehicles with engines greater than 660cc, including both passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles (CVs), sold in Japan. Of this total, sales of passenger and compact cars declined by 26.6% y/y to 182,128 units in June, while truck sales were down by 21.7% y/y to 32,178 units and bus sales by 48% y/y to 551 units. In the YTD, sales of mainstream registered vehicles declined by 19.3% y/y to 1.399 million units. Sales of passenger cars were down by 19.9% y/y at 1.198 million units, while truck sales fell by 15.6% y/y to 195,425 units and bus sales shrunk by 20.6% y/y to 5,845 units. Thailand's exports declined by 23.6% year on year (y/y) in May 2020, the sharpest contraction since July 2009. The weakness was driven by exports to the country's major trading partners, including the European Union, Japan, and the United States, reflecting lower demand because of COVID-19 virus containment measures, which offset a recovery in exports to China. (IHS Markit Economist Harumi Taguchi) Industrial production also fell by 6.0% month on month (m/m) or 22.9% y/y on a seasonally adjusted basis in May. The accelerated contraction was largely driven by a sharp drop in production of motor vehicles (down 69.0% y/y), reflecting weak domestic and external demand. Although the decrease of production in motor vehicles softened from an 80.7% y/y drop in April, the continued weakness affected production of other related industries. A fall in the portion of non-metallic mineral products hints at weak construction activity. Recent data have revealed that Malaysia's first-quarter contraction is continuing into the second quarter. (IHS Markit Economist Dan Ryan) The Malaysian ringgit has strengthened slightly over the past few months, but is still 3% weaker than the 2019 average. Given the weak economy and low interest rates, no significant appreciation is expected in the near term. After falling sharply in March and April, prices showed little change in May. Therefore, the worst of the deflation appears to be over, especially with the government easing its lockdown measures. The trade sector was hit hard by the effect of the COVID-19 virus pandemic in March and April. Imports fell in tandem with domestic spending, but exports contracted sharply because of low external demand, resulting in the first trade deficit in over 20 years. The decline in the industrial sector accelerated in April, pushing industrial production down nearly one-third from a year earlier. As expected, the unemployment rate continued rising in April, reaching nearly 5%. Previous highs were only around 3.5%. Household spending on retail goods showed a similar pattern to the wholesale sector, with nominal sales down sharply through April, whereas the decline in real spending was less dramatic. Auto registrations posted a record low of -98.6% Y/Y, out of more than 20 years of data.

News From the Future Ah, clearly the administration didn't think this one all the way through ... A mere two weeks into her tenure, President Hillary Rodham Clinton has announced a sweeping roundup of illegal enemy combatants, the first step in a comprehensive program designed to protect the American people from potential terrorist activities. In accordance with the Military Commissions Act of 2006, the nearly one million detainees will be held indefinitely without trial or recourse to legal counsel until such time as the President determines they no longer pose a threat to the United States and its allies. "The legal basis of these sweeps is firmly grounded in the Military Commissions Act of 2006," Paul Grisley, White House Press Secretary, said, "which is an essential component of our ongoing struggle to protect America from those who would seek to destroy Her..." While the names and crimes of the detainees are classified to protect the interests of national security, a clue as to some of their identities could be gleaned by means of a stroll though major government offices around the country. Four of the nine Supreme Court Justices, for example, failed to show up for work, as did approximately 220 congressmen, 52 senators and a number of governors and presiding justices of district and appellate courts.

INGLESIDE – Fire crews in South Stormont are on the scene of another brush fire, west of Ingleside. Crews from Long Sault, Ingleside and Newington were called around 4 p.m. to the CNR tracks east of Aultsville Road (and west of Farren's Point Road) for a brush fire. However, the fire doesn't appear to be as big as yesterday (Wednesday) when nearly ten acres of brush and long grass were razed by flames. The flames through appear to be closer to the railroad tracks. The township has been dealing with tinder-dry conditions and very little rain recently. The cause of today's fire isn't know though yesterday's fire was caused by a homeowner that was burning when it got out of control when the wind picked up. Click on a photo below to open a gallery of pictures from the scene. Scenes from a second brush fire in as many days on April 30, 2015 just west of Ingleside on the south side of the CNR tracks.

Carjacked Towing is a fictitious story covering the business operation of one Jack Franks, a towing operator with a number of years of experience in the repo business. To catch up on part 2 of Carjacked Towing click on Tow Truck Insurance Phoenix Arizona. We will now continue our account. As soon as Jack sets his phone in the cradle he shoots out his office quick as he noticed out of the corner of his eye Jimmy Newtown, who was trying to sneak by Jack's office. Jimmy, his newest driver on his maiden repo run 1 day ago, slammed his tow truck into a tree after he got spooked when he was chased on foot by a deranged customer waving a shotgun in the air. The customer, Calvin Coolspin saw his chick magnet sports car being towed off into the sunset and he was having none of it, so he grabbed his sawed off shotgun and chased Jimmy down the street. Jimmy mashed the pedal down on the accelerator and was looking into his rear view mirror but not straight ahead and ran the tow truck off the road and hit a large oak tree dead on, the oak tree won, the tow truck lost. Jimmy's first repo run was a disaster and resulted in a badly damaged truck and the sports car suffered some damage too. "He was waiving a shotgun at me" Jimmy protested. "How did you know the shotgun was loaded and he was going to shoot you? Jack continued. "Listen now to me and listen good Jimmy, if you want to keep this job you're going to pay me back on my deductible, each week I'm going to deduct something from your paycheck you hear?" Jack screamed. For the next 10 minutes Jack continued his verbal assault on Jimmy. Jack laid it on thick hoping the kid would quit, he just didn't have what it takes to be a repo man after his freak out. Jimmy was saved from further humiliation by a phone call from his cousin Vinny. In our next post we will find out if Jack's cousin Vinny comes through for him on potential tow trucks for sale.

The weekend is almost here and that means it's time to relax with another 'Time Out'. This week's questions are answered by Walaiti Rathore, Managing Director at Licensing Law Consultancy, who in another life could have worked in the film industry. Check to see what my family have planned for me! I am fortunate in that a lot of what I enjoy doing is related to what I do at work – perks of working in the leisure and hospitality industry. However, completely outside of that I continue to be a film enthusiast; I still work on scripts for example. I also love watching and following sport – especially cricket. I love and watch a lot of films, so this is a very difficult question. If I had to pick one, then it would have to be the short film called "Chinese Takeout". For anyone who has seen this, it would probably be their worst film. It is my favourite because it was the first film I produced and directed. It was screened at Broadway cinema as part of the Shots in the Dark film festival held in Nottingham (many years ago) where I received an award for my efforts. Writing, producing and directing films as well as some acting. I like the idea of being a "normal" human being with power coming from science and technology which can be constantly updated/improved. Therefore, I would be happy with an Iron Man type suit. I like a variety of music but with preference for traditional qawwali. Any memorable moment shared with my mother. Everything else I need I have right here in the present.

DeLorean tries to predict your next move, could reduce lag in online gaming By Nick Mediati JoshBerglund19/Flickr (CC BY 2.0) (Creative Commons BY or BY-SA) Ask any gamer about how they feel about lag in online gaming, and they'll probably want to throw something in lieu of an answer. It might not be possible to eliminate lag entirely, but Microsoft researchers are toying with a way to mitigate it by trying to guess your next move. The experimental technology, called DeLorean, is what Microsoft calls a "speculative execution system,"and it uses a mix of predictive technologies along with time-shifting and bandwidth compression to "[produce] speculative rendered frames of future possible outcomes" ahead of time to reduce apparent lag resulting from network latency. The idea here is basically to try to anticipate your next actions in a game and to reduce overhead in order to mask the lag. The idea here is basically to try to anticipate your next actions in a game and to reduce overhead in order to mask the lag. According to Microsoft researchers, eliminating network latency lag is not practical, and that even with a fast wired residential Internet connection, you can experience over 100 milliseconds of lag—enough of a delay to frustrate just about any gamer. Even in this experimental stage, DeLorean can mitigate up to 250 milliseconds of lag caused by network latency when playing cloud-based games, according to researchers. To test the system, Microsoft researchers created modified versions of the games Doom 3 and Fable 3, and found that "players overwhelmingly prefer DeLorean" over standard, lag-ridden cloud-based gaming, and that "DeLorean successfully mimics playing across a low-latency network." DeLorean is still an experimental technology, so you likely won't see it integrated into commercially games any time soon. In the meantime, you can read the research paper if you are so inclined.

What's the reason of happiness? What's the reason of sadness? Why some people recover from depression or a fatal disease? Why some die inside at 20 and live in a dead body till 80? Why is someone young even at 70, and someone feels wrinkles at mere age of 25? What is the success behind beauty, success, health, wealth, happiness? Is it from the people around you? Think about the instances of happiness and success, reflect back on the memories that would last in your mind.

Denver courts issued a warrant on Tuesday for Denver resident Brenda Littlespottedhorse, for a municipal level infraction involving "wrongs to minors." Brenda Littlespottedhorse is the grandmother of the two or three year old girl who was found left alone in a stroller in Civic Center Park on July 4th, after the fireworks show. Denver Human Services took care of the girl until her mother or guardian was located. A family friend identified the girl after she was shown on television and she reported to her mother that her daughter was in Denver Human Services custody. The mother of the missing girl is from South Dakota and the girl has now be reunited with her mother in South Dakota.

TOKYO (AP) — The twin earthquakes that struck southern Japan were having ripple effects far beyond the disaster zone, forcing Toyota to suspend production at most of its factories across the country over a scarcity of parts, and affecting other manufacturers. The quake damaged Honda's motorcycle plant in Kumamoto, the largest city affected by the two quakes that hit late Thursday and early Saturday, killing at least 42 people. Japan's Nikkei 225 stock index tumbled more than 3 percent Monday in part on worries over quake repercussions as well as a spike in the yen and drop in oil prices. But the economic impact is nowhere near as large as the havoc wreaked by the 2011 quake and tsunami disasters, which slammed supply chains so badly that Japanese automakers' production was halted even in the U.S. They learned the hard way about their vulnerability to such interruptions, especially from second-tier and third-tier suppliers, and have worked to create contingency plans. Disasters tend to hobble Japan's mighty manufacturers because they are supported by small machine-shops that provide components to bigger suppliers, which in turn supply bigger players. "That kind of lesson has been learned," said Nissan Motor Co. spokesman Dion Corbett. "We now have maps that show where exactly the suppliers are." Nissan's two plants in Kyushu were temporarily shut down after the quakes for checkups. The checks found damage was minor, allowing the plants to be resume operations on Monday, he said. Some of the worst affected areas are deep in the mountains surrounding Mount Aso, Japan's largest active volcano, an area renowned for dairy farming. But one of the hardest hit cities was Mashiki, a center for semiconductor fabrication and other manufacturing. Sony Corp. said its sensor and device plant in Kumamoto was closed. Although the building's structure was intact and no employees were injured, the precise nature of the production processes requires that delicately calibrated equipment must be checked carefully. "The impact to near-term economic activity looks inevitable, while the comprehensive picture is difficult to gauge now, particularly due to the continued aftershocks," Masamichi Adachi of J.P.Morgan said in a commentary. Overall, the risk to the outlook for growth is "to the downside," he said. In trading Monday, Toyota's shares lost 4.8 percent, Nissan lost 2.8 percent and Sony shed 6.8 percent. Renesas Electronics Corp.'s computer chip plant in Kumamoto city was also shuttered, spokeswoman Makie Uehara said. It was unclear when production could resume. Gases that can be dangerous are used to maintain antiseptic conditions for chip production, and so safety had to be confirmed before other damage could be checked. Toyota Motor Corp., the most heavily affected of the big car makers, has stopped production not only at a factory in Kyushu but at 15 others in Japan through Friday. Output will resume depending on the availability of parts. Toyota's Japan output will drop by 50,000 vehicles in April, or about 7 percent of Japan production, according to a report on the quake's effects on automakers by SMBC Nikko. Toyota declined comment on that estimate. Critically affected parts include door frames, door hinges and cast-aluminum engine parts, said Toyota spokesman Itsuki Kurosu. The maker of the Camry sedan, Prius hybrid and Lexus luxury models was working hard to get substitute parts, he said. Honda Motor Corp.'s motorcycle plant was severely damaged. Due to repeated aftershocks, it is unsafe even to go inside to carefully inspect the damage, said Teruhiko Tatebe. Production has been stopped until Friday at least. So far production at its auto plants has not been affected, he said. The company did not rule out future supply problems. "So far we are OK," he said of the auto plants.

When Martin Luther King Jr. came to Battle Creek Martin Luther King, Jr., preached a Lenten sermon at the First United Methodist Church in Battle Creek on March 20, 1960. When Martin Luther King Jr. came to Battle Creek Martin Luther King, Jr., preached a Lenten sermon at the First United Methodist Church in Battle Creek on March 20, 1960. Check out this story on battlecreekenquirer.com: http://www.battlecreekenquirer.com/story/news/local/2018/01/12/when-martin-luther-king-jr-came-battle-creek-and-albion/1025788001/ Natasha Blakely and Noe Hernandez, Battle Creek Enquirer Published 1:00 p.m. ET Jan. 12, 2018 | Updated 2:54 p.m. ET Jan. 12, 2018 Martin Luther King Jr. stands with Dr David Evans, Reverend Sidney Short and Reverend Paul Bigby to greet attendees and shake their hands after his sermon at First United Methodist Church in 1960.(Photo: Enquirer file) Martin Luther King Jr. was shorter than Nancy Davis expected. "When you hear his voice, it sounded so loud, and I just thought he'd be taller," said Davis, who is 72. She saw King preach a Lenten sermon at the First United Methodist Church in March of 1960. She was 14 at the time. It was King's only visit to Battle Creek, though he would pass nearby one more time, for a speech at Albion College, before his death. Local historian Kurt Thornton was 5 when King came to First United Methodist. His parents didn't bring him to the church because they were nervous about trouble occurring, but his father, Junior Thornton, was an usher at the service and shared stories about that night. "The words and the way that Dr. King spoke gave dad the impression that Dr. King must have stood over six feet tall," Kurt Thornton said. The church's minister, Dr David Evans, managed to arrange the visit through a mutual friend, Dr Jesse Jai McNeil, a leader in the Wolverine Baptist Association, a group of black Baptist churches in Detroit. King had an appearance scheduled in Detroit around the same time and ended up having the time to detour to Battle Creek. Local historian Kurt Thornton shared this photograph of Martin Luther King Jr.'s visit to First United Methodist Church in 1960 from the church's archives. (Photo: Provided) "I bring you greetings from the Southland, a section of the country now in transition, as we struggle on for the dreams and ideals of democracy and our Christian faith," King began, reading an imagined letter from the apostle Paul to American Christians. He would talk that evening about the Supreme Court decision to outlaw segregation and how "some of us have not accepted it and are fighting to thwart it." At one point, he provided a sober reminder about the dangers of social protest. "We must admit that, in standing against the forces of evil, we will be abused and scorned," King said. "It may mean going to jail, but we will go to jail with a smile. Some will face physical death before the struggle is won, but it is the price that some must pay." Kim Tuck, 71, doesn't recall much about King's speech. He was a young teenager, part of the church's youth fellowship group. "What I remember the most is that the church was absolutely packed," he said. The church was indeed stuffed full, with roughly 1,100 attendees, according to contemporary accounts. The sound system ensured that everyone packed in the church could hear him, even if they couldn't see him. Plainclothes officers from the Battle Creek Police Department were present as well, set up by Evans as extra security. "People were really dressed up, like the women wore hats and gloves, and I was really impressed by that," Davis said. "A lady passed out, she was so overcome. I remember that. She was in the back of the church, and I was in the balcony, but you could see everything from the balcony. "And after he spoke, something that really impressed me, he took time to shake hands with everyone and to talk to everyone who wanted to talk to him. He acted like he had all of the time in the world to speak to people, and I was impressed by that." After the service, King stood in a lineup with Evans, Reverend Sidney Short and Reverend Paul Bigby of the Second Baptist Church to greet attendees and shake their hands. "If I had any idea how much good he'd do, how important he'd become, well, I don't know if at that age I would have paid more attention, but I wish I had," Davis said. Three years later, on March 13, 1963, King spoke to about 1,000 students and faculty at Albion College as part of a celebrity lecture series, according to Wesley Arden Dick, a history professor in Albion for the past 50 years. The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. greets Maxine Vincent's mother, Cecil Abston, during his visit to Albion College on March 13, 1963. (Photo: Courtesy photo: Maxine Vincent) Albion still had segregation in schools, restaurants, theaters and recreational facilities in those days, Arden Dick said. Campus leaders might well have invited King because the college was mostly white and the city was mostly black. "How much of that was in the mind of inviting him, I can't say," Arden Dick said. "But I think there was a belief that our students at the college needed to be made aware of the best thinkers out there." Jess Womack, who lived in the South until he was 11, struggled with his emotions when King visited the college. Womack is black. Some of the same racism he had experienced in the South lurked just below the surface in Albion, he said. He recalls only one fraternity at the college with a non-white member. "What Dr. King was doing was tackling what was the last vestiges of America's original sin, which was segregation in the South," said Womack, who was a 19-year-old college sophomore when he saw King speak. "What Dr. King was doing at that time was revolutionary and also noble." Womack sat in the audience at Goodrich Chapel as King talked about voting rights and access to public facilities and other segregation issues in the North. At the urging of a local newspaper photographer, Womack said, he shook hands, talked and took a photograph with King after the event. "To have him there in Albion was to have this iconic figure in our presence," said Womack. "He was a bigger-than-life iconic figure. He was doing something that was the equivalent of Mahatma Gandhi's work in India. It was peaceful." Womack told King that he was from Alabama and asked him about non-violence training. He said King told him that not everyone could take the abuse. "We don't put anybody out there who can't endure what's going on," Womack remembers King telling him. "We don't put people who can't endure the kind of abuse that was heaped on them." Womack, 74, still remembers someone in the audience asking King if it was possible to legislate morality. "I don't think you can legislate morality, but you can legislate not lynching me," King responded, according to Womack, "and I think that's pretty important, too," Contact Natasha Blakely at (269) 223-0114 or nblakely@battlecreekenquirer.com.

Joseph Darling Joseph Darling (1870–1946) took up cricket in earnest while a student at Prince Alfred College in Adelaide and was fifteen when he set a new record for the highest innings (252) scored in South Australia. At sixteen, he was selected to bat for his home state and he also played in the team that won the South Australian Football Association premiership in 1886. Having worked for several years as the manager of one of his family's farms, he helped South Australia to victory in a match against the touring England side before making his Test debut in Sydney in December 1894. A nuggetty, left-handed, middle-order batsman, Darling was selected for the Test sides that toured England in 1896, 1899, 1902 and 1905, captaining Australia in the victorious 1899 and 1902 series as well as the sides of 1901-02 and 1905. In all, he played in 34 Test matches, 31 against England and three against South Africa, ending his international career after the 1905 English tour with a total of 1,657 runs, three centuries, eight half-centuries and a Test batting average of 28.56. After retiring from professional cricket, he relocated his large family to a sheep station in Tasmania, where he raised prize-winning flocks and was active in various rural organisations. He was named a CBE in 1938 and was the Member for Cambridge in the Tasmanian Legislative Council for many years. He died in Hobart in January 1946, survived by his wife of 52 years and twelve of their fifteen children.

The black hole image released yesterday needed over a thousand helium-filled disk drives to record it. Regular drives were tried and tested but failed due to air pressure at the high altitudes of the radio telescope sites. In effect, they simulated a single radio telescope the size of planet Earth. The telescopes take images as Earth rotates to build a picture of the target area taken from different locations on the surface of the planet. The technique used to combine the signals is called very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI), at a wavelength of 1.3mm, which uses hydrogen maser atomic clocks to precisely time stamp the raw image data. A specially developed algorithm combined and correlated the raw data to build the single overall image. VLBI allows the EHT to achieve an angular resolution of 20μas (micro-arcseconds) – said to be good enough enough to read a newspaper in New York from a sidewalk in Paris or locate an orange on the surface of the Moon from Earth. The images from the eight telescopes were collected over five nights from 5-11 April in 2017. Observations were triggered when the weather was favourable, with each telescope generating about 350TB of data a day. A single-dish EHT site (PDF) could record its data at 64Gbit/s. The data was recorded in parallel by four digital back-end (DBE) systems on 32 helium-filled hard drives each, 128 drives in total. Eight telescopes x 128 drives = 1,024 in total. Western Digital's HGST 8TB helium-filled drives were used, whereas capacity and cost limitations ruled out SSDs. 350TB of data a day for five days roughly means 1.75PB of raw VLBI voltage signal data from each radio telescope, with the combined total being 14PB. The DBEs captured data from upstream equipment using 2 x 10 Gbit/s Ethernet network interface cards at 16Gbit/s. They wrote time-slice data using a round-robin algorithm across the 32 hard drives. These drives are mounted in groups of eight in four removable modules. The low ambient air density at the telescope sites necessitated sealed, helium-filled hard drives, both for the system disk for recorders and also in all the data recording modules. Ordinary air-filled drives crashed when tried out in 2015; the air was too thin to provide the cushion needed to support the heads. The HDD modules were flown to the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPI) in Bonn, Germany, for high-band data drives, and MIT Haystack Observatory in Westford, Massachusetts, for low-band data. Flights from the Antarctica telescope were delayed until austral spring, November 2017. Supercomputers, called Correlators, at MPI and MIT correlated the raw image data from the telescope location records. According to the black hole paper (PDF), the processing involved an Earth geometry and clock/delay model to align the signals from each telescope to a common time reference. A correlation coefficient was calculated between antennas. Correlation was performed using the DiFX software running on clusters of more than 1,000 compute cores at each site, and is split between the two sites to speed processing and allow crosschecks. The correlation processing is described here (PDF). The end result was the staggering image of the black hole's shadow implied by the high-speed, high-temperature particles being drawn into it in a rotating stream. The BBC Earth Twitter account put things into perspective comparing the data that got humanity to the Moon, and the data that got us the black hole – all on disk drives again. Funny how things change.

It was thrilling to the very end! Who would win the Swedish Song Contest 2011? It turned out to be between the teengirl favourites Danny and Eric Saade – just as I guessed. Personally I crossed my fingers for Eric, so I was definitely happy when he won! A good song to start the contest with. One of this year's favourites among the Swedish people, and I think this song will be played a lot at clubs this summer. Personally I find the chorus to be too repetitive and boring, but my overall impression is that it's an okay song to listen to in the background. Happy, up-beat, pop. This sounds like a classic Swedish folk song, and I like it! In between all brightly colored and modern pop songs it's great to find something that sounds genuinely Swedish. Sara Varga was very beautiful in her long white dress, she's got a great voice with a lot of emotion and I liked the song. I have to admit I'm starting to like this song – a lot. The first time I watched him perform it I was shocked by all the colors, shapes, weird clothes and the whole performance. I laughed at the monitors in the background: "That's sooo Monty Python!" But now I've heard the song a few more times I find it hard to not like it. I'm dragged along in all the bubbling happiness, and give The Moniker a hight marks despite his original performance. Brolle disappointed me this time. His style (which is obviously inspired by Elvis) and voice didn't save the song or the performance tonight. The song isn't strong or powerful compared to the rest, and singing out of tune was not the best way to end the song. A disappointment. Linda Bengtzing – E de fel på mig? This song is just as happy-sounding and pop as all the other songs she's participated with earlier, and it was wonderfully colorful. But I'm sceptical about the lyrics and I think I'm not the only one – maybe that's the reason she didn't do very well this year? The surprise of the year. He's getting negative points from me regarding his clothes, but the song is good and his voice is okay. Sadly his voice cracked slightly now and then, maybe because he's been practicing so much for the final round? I don't know. This is not the kind of song I expected him to sing, but he does it well! What a great song! Now when I've heard it a few times. This is also one of the songs I didn't like when I heard it the first time, but it's getting better and better. I agree with those who think that the performance is confusing. There are a lot of colors and shapes and patterns, and there's a lot going on on the stage. But this feels like a summer hit – at least I will be listening to it a lot! It was fun that he lives outside of Örebro – and such a cute kid he has! One of my personal favourites. Sanna is known for singing ballads. This is also a ballad, but it's an up-beat ballad. I liked her clothes, I like her voice, I like the song. This will also be heard a lot at my place. I'm in love! One of the fun songs of this year. The Playtones became famous thanks to them participating in Dansbandskampen and I didn't expect to see them here. I still don't think they fit in the Eurovision Song Contest but their performance was a fun element in the contest. The song has a lot of influences from the 1950′s (a musical period I personally like) and they did right in dressing alike. The question is whether blue was the right choice of color… But the song is good. And finally, my favourite! I think that both the song, the dance – the whole performance, in fact – is on at least the same level as his performance last year. But as Eric himself says, this year it's a more "grown up" pop song compared to Manboy and that should be good as he himself has grown since last time… The song is easy to learn and sing along with. He and his dancers are incredibly good, they had they best performance of the night, without a doubt. The glass cage is a cool element that strengthens the message of the song, and I do hope he will be allowed to bring it with him to Düsseldorf. But despite the great song, I think that a lot of Eric's success lies in his incredible charm, energy on stage and his dark glittering eyes. It will be interesting to see if he is as successful in Europe as in Sweden! ← Hanson @ London – x5!

Sick and tired of beginning a new diet every time summer comes around? Chances are you stop eating carbohydrates all together, reduce the amount of junk food consumed and boost your training frequency. You might gain some results when summer hits, however the reduced calories and carbs make you moody, fatigued and binge eating starts to occur. At this point dieting sounds exhausting. What if I told you that there is an easier and healthier way to lose weight and to keep it off all year round without cutting calories? It is called clean eating. This concept is simple; rather than focusing all your energy on the amount of food you need to eat, the idea is to be more attentive to the type of food you eat and how "clean" it is. Clean meaning unprocessed, unrefined or handled in anyway. It is not a diet but rather a lifestyle change. Here at the Fit stop we tell our clients to eat like a caveman. They had a hunter and gatherer approach and could only eat natural wholefoods such as quality meats, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds & water. Additionally ingredients of any kind. For example: sugar, fat, flavour, MSG. Processed foods are key contributors to health conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, depression and more. From a weight loss standpoint, a diet high in sugar increases your chance of weight gain by causing insulin spikes that reduce your ability to remain full. When we have too much insulin in the bloodstream, it tells the fat cells to pick up fat and store it on the body rather than metabolising it. This is how insulin resistance causes obesity, and often eventually type 2 diabetes. Foods that are modified also overstimulate the hormone dopamine (the pleasure sensation) as a result of high sugar content causing a vicious cycle of constant junk cravings. As you can see, eliminating all processed foods is not only crucial from a weight loss standpoint, but also a health standpoint. Stop with the processed foods! Eat 1 cup of vegetables with every main meal. READ THE LABEL… seriously. Assess the amounts of sodium, trans or saturated fats, or ingredients you cannot read or pronounce. If there are a lot of these, chances are it's not a good option. Improved body composition. Less body fat, more lean muscle. Enough said. Improved cardiovascular health – blood pressure, cholesterol. Katrina is a personal trainer at The Fit Stop, Personal Training St Kilda East, specialising in weight loss and general strength & conditioning for everyday people.

Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin Our current Roundtable considers Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin, which is to be argued at the Supreme Court in the October 2012 term. In Fisher, the Court will consider whether the University of Texas's use of race in its undergraduate admissions process is lawful under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The parties, Justices, and our authors have much material to work with on this issue. There is a long line of landmark Supreme Court cases concerning race and education, including Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1; Grutter v. Bollinger; Grutter's sister case, Gratz v. Bollinger; Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, and of course Brown v. Board of Education. Professors Vikram Amar, James Blumstein, Tomiko Brown-Nagin, Girardeau Spann, and Gerald Torres have each considered the precedents and offered their views on how the Court might—or should—approach this case in their "First Take" essays below. Professors Amar, Spann, and Torres have considered the essays of their colleagues and offer some additional thoughts, comments, and ideas in their "Responses" below.

Themaidandtrade Map Information Traveling Website 10 states that border canada Home > Maps > 10 states that border canada Published at Sunday, October 13th 2019, 07:30:42 AM. Maps. By Romaine Gloss. According to the International Boundary and Water Commission, the continental border then follows the middle of the Rio Grande—according to the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo between the two nations, "along the deepest channel" (also known as the thalweg)—a distance of 2,020 kilometers (1,260 mi) to its mouth at the Gulf of Mexico. The Rio Grande frequently meanders along the Texas–Mexico border. As a result, the United States and Mexico have a treaty by which the Rio Grande is maintained as the border, with new cut-offs and islands being transferred to the other nation as necessary. The Boundary Treaty of 1970 between Mexico and the United States settled all outstanding boundary disputes and uncertainties related to the Rio Grande (Río Bravo del Norte) border. The region is characterized by deserts, rugged hills, abundant sunshine, and two major rivers—the Colorado and the Rio Grande (Río Bravo del Norte). The U.S. maintains immigration offices, called pre-clearance facilities, in eight Canadian airports with international air service to the United States (Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto-Pearson, Vancouver, and Winnipeg). This expedites travel by allowing flights originating in Canada to land at a U.S. airport without being processed as an international arrival. Canada does not maintain equivalent personnel at U.S. airports due to the sheer number of U.S. departure locations with Canada-bound flights and the limited number of flights compared to the number of U.S.-bound flights that depart major Canadian airports. Ferry services operate between the province of New Brunswick and the state of Maine, as well as between the province of British Columbia and the states of Washington and Alaska. There are also several ferry services in the Great Lakes operating between the province of Ontario and the states of Michigan, New York, and Ohio. The ferry between Maine and Nova Scotia ended its operations in 2009, but resumed them in 2014. The Boldt Castle on Heart Island in the St. Lawrence River has a border control point on the island, but no specific location on the Canadian side.[citation needed] Canadians must present identification to land on the island. canada united states border texas and bordering states map north america map with latitude and longitude lines and cities canada usa map with cities map of colorado and bordering states alaska and canada border all states that border canada map of northern united states with cities The Canada–United States border (French: frontière Canada–États-Unis), officially known as the International Boundary (French: Frontière Internationale), is the longest international border in the world between two countries. It is shared between Canada and the United States, the second- and fourth- largest countries by area, respectively. The terrestrial boundary (including portions of maritime boundaries in the Great Lakes, and on the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic coasts) is 8,891 kilometres (5,525 mi) long, of which 2,475 kilometres (1,538 mi) is Canada's border with Alaska. Eight Canadian provinces and territories (Yukon, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick), and thirteen U.S. states (Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine) are located along the border. The Mexico–United States border extends 3,145 kilometers (1,954 mi), in addition to the maritime boundaries of 29 kilometers (18 mi) in the Pacific Ocean and 19 kilometers (12 mi) in the Gulf of Mexico. The Mexico–United States border (Spanish: frontera México–Estados Unidos) is an international border separating Mexico and the United States, extending from the Pacific Ocean in the west to the Gulf of Mexico in the east. The border traverses a variety of terrains, ranging from urban areas to deserts. The Mexico–United States border is the most frequently crossed border in the world, with approximately 350 million documented crossings annually. The Mexico–United States border begins at the Initial Point of Boundary Between U.S. and Mexico, which is set one marine league (three nautical miles) south of the southernmost point of San Diego Bay. The border then proceeds for 227 kilometers (141 mi) in a straight line towards the confluence of the Colorado River and Gila River.[8][9] The border continues southwards along the Colorado River for 39 kilometers (24 mi), until it reaches a point 20 miles south of the Gila River confluence. The border then follows a series of lines and parallels totaling 859 kilometers (534 mi). First, it follows a straight line from the Colorado River to the intersection of the 31st parallel north and 111th meridian west. It then proceeds eastwards along the 31st parallel.[9][10] It then proceeds northwards along a meridian 100 miles west of the point where the Rio Grande crosses 31 degrees 47 minutes north, and then eastwards along that parallel until it meets the Rio Grande.

A STOCKTON resident has made a "heartbreaking" discovery, finding a newborn baby's body abandoned in their backyard. Emergency services were called to a home on Church Street about 7am on Tuesday, after the body was discovered. Police now face the challenging task of piecing together what Newcastle commander Superintendent Brett Greentree has called a 'mystery'. "I can't go into specific details, but what I can say is that the occupant of that residence has just gone out to the backyard and located the body of a newborn," Superintendent Greentree said. Neighbours in the quiet residential area said the first they knew of the incident was when emergency services raced into the street with lights and sirens blazing. People lined the road on Tuesday awaiting information, but were not expecting such tragic news. "At the moment we have very serious and grave concerns for the mother who may need medical assistance and we are doing our absolute best to try and identify this female. "If anybody in the community knows anything about this, contact Newcastle detectives or Crime Stoppers." The Stockton home now sits behind police tape, as crime scene investigators try to piece together how the baby came to be on the property and where the mother went. Superintendent Greentree said police would not be ruling out anything at this stage - including foul play - but the main priority was to find the mother. The crime scene includes a nearby laneway and adjacent street. Police spent much of Tuesday searching the area, speaking to residents and canvassing local hospitals. While police are not yet able to release details about the newborn's exact age, gender or cause of death, they do believe the missing mother gave birth "very recently". In a press conference outside Waratah station, police appealed for the public's help to "unravel" what had happened. "It is just really a heartbreaking situation, it is very, very sad," Superintendent Greentree said. "We are hoping that between the investigations, and the community, we will able to identify this female and first and foremost make sure she has medical treatment." Anyone with information about the baby or the mother is urged to contact Newcastle detectives or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Police said the Stockton resident who discovered the body had no connection to the incident and has since been offered support. A post mortem examination will be conducted in an effort to establish the age of the baby and the cause of death. This will form part of a report which will be prepared for the information of the coroner. "If the mother of that child is listening, watching or if anybody who knows the mother of that child, make contact with somebody. It is very important." EARLIER REPORT: THE body of a newborn baby has been found abandoned in a Stockton backyard, police said. Emergency services were called to a home on Church Street shortly after 7am on Tuesday after the body of the newborn baby was discovered. Police officers, detectives and forensic teams remained on scene at midday. Neighbours lined the quiet street awaiting news of what had occurred. Residents said the first they knew of any incident was when emergency services raced into the street with lights and sirens blazing. Police now "hold grave concerns for the welfare of the mother, who may need to seek urgent medical treatment". They are appealing for public assistance to help find the woman. A post mortem examination will be conducted in an effort to establish the age of the baby and the cause of death. This will form part of a report which will be prepared for the information of the coroner. Police will address the media with further information at 1pm today. The Herald will broadcast the press conference on facebook. Anyone with information about the baby or the mother is urged to contact Newcastle detectives or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

"I can't go into specific details, but what I can say is that the occupant of that residence has just gone out to the backyard and located the body of a newborn," Superintendent Greentree said. Neighbours in the quiet residential area said the first they knew of the incident was when emergency services raced into the street with lights and sirens blazing. People lined the road on Tuesday awaiting information, but were not expecting such tragic news. "At the moment we have very serious and grave concerns for the mother who may need medical assistance and we are doing our absolute best to try and identify this female. "If anybody in the community knows anything about this, contact Newcastle detectives or Crime Stoppers." The Stockton home now sits behind police tape, as crime scene investigators try to piece together how the baby came to be on the property and where the mother went. Superintendent Greentree said police would not be ruling out anything at this stage - including foul play - but the main priority was to find the mother. The crime scene includes a nearby laneway and adjacent street. Police spent much of Tuesday searching the area, speaking to residents and canvassing local hospitals. While police are not yet able to release details about the newborn's exact age, gender or cause of death, they do believe the missing mother gave birth "very recently". In a press conference outside Waratah station, police appealed for the public's help to "unravel" what had happened. "It is just really a heartbreaking situation, it is very, very sad," Superintendent Greentree said. Newcastle commander Superintendent Brett Greentree. Picture: Simon McCarthy "We are hoping that between the investigations, and the community, we will able to identify this female and first and foremost make sure she has medical treatment." Anyone with information about the baby or the mother is urged to contact Newcastle detectives or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Police said the Stockton resident who discovered the body had no connection to the incident and has since been offered support. A post mortem examination will be conducted in an effort to establish the age of the baby and the cause of death. This will form part of a report which will be prepared for the information of the coroner. "If the mother of that child is listening, watching or if anybody who knows the mother of that child, make contact with somebody. It is very important." EARLIER REPORT: THE body of a newborn baby has been found abandoned in a Stockton backyard, police said. Emergency services were called to a home on Church Street shortly after 7am on Tuesday after the body of the newborn baby was discovered. Police officers, detectives and forensic teams remained on scene at midday. Neighbours lined the quiet street awaiting news of what had occurred. Residents said the first they knew of any incident was when emergency services raced into the street with lights and sirens blazing. Police now "hold grave concerns for the welfare of the mother, who may need to seek urgent medical treatment". They are appealing for public assistance to help find the woman. Police will address the media with further information at 1pm today. The Herald will broadcast the press conference on facebook.

Coast Redwood Middle School (6–8) » Coast Redwood Middle School (6–8) About Coast Redwood Middle School Coast Redwood Middle School (part of the SLVUSD Charter School) is a homeschool support program for 6-8th graders that offers a two-day a week classroom-based ongoing group experience. It is specially designed for students who are on the path to becoming more independent learners, and who want to help support a consistent group of peers as co-learners. This program integrates social-emotional learning with students working collaboratively on projects that help to develop their critical and creative thinking. CRMS is composed of families who want to maintain a strong, homeschool relationship with their pre-adolescent children, and who are also willing to help support a fun and active class group by participating in camping, field trips, parent-taught courses, and special activities. Our year includes subject-specific classes, student project presentations, theme-based science, thoughtful speaking, writing, and problem solving, and photography, with the students creating their own yearbook. Emphasis is on project-based learning and real-life application of skills. The teacher helps guide each student offering support for individual studies outside the classroom as well as group-focused activities during class time. We believe that education works best in a relationship with others, and that learning flourishes when it includes a clear awareness of individual and group process through self-reflection. What is expected from the students: Regular attendance, a commitment to doing your best, a desire to fully participate, a willingness to reflect on the process of learning, both in writing and verbally, and a dedication to supporting other individuals in the group and the unity of the group as a whole. What is expected from the parents: Engaging in dialog regularly with your child about class activities and homeschooling. Supporting the completion of homework assignments. Participation in regular parent-teacher meetings, in person and via phone and/or email. Keeping a daily log of homeschooling activities and submitting that log along with an attendance sheet and samples of student work on time each month to facilitate the creation of a portfolio. In order to ensure the best consistency, cohesion, and continuity, we request that enrollment in CRMS be a year-long commitment. Student and parent input and interests will help guide the schedule and methods of instruction both in class and at home.

The final season of Jessica Jones certainly had people hoping that the Marvel heroine would be set for at least one more season. However, it looks like Krysten Ritter is no longer interested in reprising her role as the superpowered private investigator. Ritter was recently asked by TVLine if there was any chance she would return in Jessica Jones Season 4. Interestingly, the former Breaking Bad star stated that she has no plans of revisiting the character. "Do I think I'll play her again? I don't think so," Ritter said. "I feel like I've played her, you know? I feel really good about it. I feel good about closing the door." Of course, Season 3 left us with more possible Jessica stories to tell. Although she initially decided to leave her business with Malcolm and leave her life behind, she ultimately changed her mind when Kilgrave whispered that she was doing the right thing. So Jessica is still somewhere in New York possibly beating bad guys but we'll never get to see her do it again. Interestingly, even if Ritter and the rest of the Jessica Jones cast would consider returning for Season 4, they would need to do it without creator Melissa Rosenberg. After all, Rosenberg is already signed on exclusively to Warner Bros. and even echoed Ritter's sentiments. "I feel like this is a really complete, closed chapter," Rosenberg said. "I mean, never say never. But I feel ready to tell all-new stories." Jessica Jones Season 3 is currently streaming on Netflix.

In the biggest mobile developers study in history, involving a whopping 6000 respondents from 115 nations, android is the most popular platform among developers. iOS came in second, amid findings that windows phone was shooting up with many entrant mobile developers developing for it than any other platform. According to the study, 71 percent of mobile developers are already developing for android, while 56 percent are already engineering apps for Apple's iOS. 35 percent of developers are planning developing for Windows Phone in the third quarter of 2013 – which is more than the 26 percent who are thinking of developing for iOS in the same timeshot. Developers build apps or more than one platform, with the study establishing that the average mobile developer develops for 2.9 ecosystems simultaneously – mostly a mix of android, windows phone and iOS. 84 percent of the time, either android, iOS or HTML 5 is the primary platform. Blackberry has fallen out of favor in this regard. Most developers choosing to develop for just one platform will go for iOS first, at 59percent against android's 49percent. Despite the growing interest by developers to build apps for Window Phone, Vision Mobile says that it is still going to be very hard for the platform to break into the top two positions in the smartphone market – currently help by android and iOS respectively. In the same report, iOS is the most profitable platform for developers, with the average mobile app engineer earning $5200 per month on the platform. Android developers banks in $4 700 each month. It will be interesting to see how each company reacts to this report, in terms of strategy.

As of now (2016-07-22 20:12 CET) not much is known about how many were hurt or killed. The media are going crazy. If you hate cats skip the 1st video! The documentation is very usable, easy to understand. Getting the basic things going is very easy. The code is on github. It's worth taking a look and having a go at it! You do know that you NEED a backup, don't you?!? I've been using dirvish (rsync based) for a good 10 years now. Once set up it is very reliable and can be expanded via pre/post server/client scripts (e.g. to calculate MD5-sums for everything). It supports file-level deduplication (using hard-links), but sadly that doesn't help with large files that have changed only a tiny bit (like virtual machine disk images). Calculating MD5-sums takes quite some time, especially so as it is done on all backups, so the file-level deduplication saves disk-space but doesn't help with the MD5-sums being recalculated all the time (on the very same data). A very time-consuming nuisance. Dirvish's BIGGEST advantage from my point of view however is that the data is easily accessible, it's just stored in the filesystem you choose (e.g. EXT4). There is no file-level encryption or compression, any system that can mount EXT4 can access the data. Today that is basically any Desktop linux out there. Back to data deduplication. BORG on the other hand only calculates checksums for NEW chunks of data, so the process is very fast if only little has changed. Yes, I said chunks of data, not files. BORG chops up data into chunks, so it can even handle very large VM disk-images and save some space backing them up. BORG also supports archive compression, password protection and encryption. This immediately brings up the question of long-term accessibility of the data. You really really don't want to end up with an old backup but vital backup that for some reason cannot be read anymore by new versions of BORG. Fortuitously the developers have released stand-alone versions (see github) that only have minimal requirements (a few standard libs). So far I've checked whether these binaries run on a live version of linux (PartedMagic 2015-01-13) and I'm glad to say that the answer is yes. That way it's quite easily possible to pack a known-good OS / BORG combination onto an USB stick (or ISO image) for future use. In case of a backup that is not based on plain filesystems, it is absolutely VITAL to go that route. Make a backup, use checksums, verify its integrity, make sure you can access it and restoring actually works. BE PARANOID about your data. Some time ago I wrote about said paper. To be more precise, I didn't write about the science per se (not my area of expertise), but I wrote about having had noticed an error in it. I tried to get in contact with the author, which remained fruitless. At the end of September 2015 I pinged a staff member of the "EJCN" (European Journal of Clinical Nutrition) about said issue. I didn't hear back from them either. Today I checked the paper's page on EJCN and what do you know, there's a correction [SHA1SUM]. It appears it was released in December of 2015, which is a decent response time. A lot can be said about journals & "peer review" etc. etc. This time complaining was beneficial. If You find errors, complain as well. Please. A small but helpful upgrade, if you're into acquiring your own temperature calibration data. At some undetermined time in the future this might be expanded to a full multi-point calibration mode. The config menu was amended with the parameter 'display_adc_raw'. When this is set to 1, the display will show the raw ADC numbers. Temperature regulation is not affected by this, everything else works as usual. With the help of an external high-temperature probe, you can now quite easily create a table of raw ADC reads vs. temperature measured where you need it, e.g. at the exit of the nozzle (of a certain diameter, for a certain fan speed). I'm glad to announce that the annoying watchdog issue has finally been fixed. It was a dumb error on my side, combined with a prevalence in some ATmega chips to have certain binary values in uninitialized registers after a cold start. * Fixed ".init1" mistake –> watchdog_off_early. Putting that into .init1 doesn't work, as it requires R1 to be ZERO. "eor R1,R1" comes later, so it blows up. The year twenty-fifteen has had a lot in stock for me and my family, both near and far. There was death, illness, strenuous recovery, unexpected relapse, and much other crap nobody really wants nor needs. "A bit much" you could say. I needed a new shopping basket. The old one had broken down after many years of abuse. In the process it killed a cheap bottle of red wine, which made a nice big puddle on the floor, much to the delight of the shop's staff. Fortunately the incident didn't cost me anything. The replacement looked pretty much the same as the old one and cost 4€. It looked sturdy enough. Don't worry, this blog won't transform into an adulation for pastry and the likes. At least not for pastry coming from conventional bakeries with tons of sugar and seeds of grasses. ! LET IT COOL AND REST IN THE FRIDGE FOR 24h ! ! MUST BE SERVED WITH EXTRA WHIPPED CREAM ! I've finally forced myself to layout a small board. It's been far too long anyway. It consists of these building blocks: reference voltage, comparator, RC low-pass, gain. There are better methods for the job, e.g. using a digital one-shot to create pulses independent of the triggering waveform… yes. As usual I just wanted something that works in this special case, something simple, small and cheap. If you are so inclined, please have a look at this. No electronics of any kind, but a scientific publication about diet / nutrition.

Secondary Effects Doctrine By David L. Hudson Jr. Other articles in Legal Terms and Concepts Related to Speech, Press, Assembly, or Petition The secondary effects doctrine is used when content-based laws, many times regulations of adult-oriented businesses, are aimed at the secondary effects of protected expression. The laws can more easily pass First Amendment scrutiny. Before the secondary effect doctrine was introduced, Boston created an "adult entertainment district," as shown in this 1974 photo, in hopes it would keep the sex business from spreading to other parts of the city. (AP Photo/J. Walter Green, used with permission from the Associated Press) The secondary effects doctrine permits normally unconstitutional content-based regulation to be treated as if it were content-neutral. The doctrine took shape in the context of regulation of adult entertainment businesses, which allegedly impose adverse side effects — for example, increased crime and decreased property values — on the communities in which they are situated. In effect, the doctrine allows for a reduced degree of judicial scrutiny in the instance of regulation of adult-oriented expression. This contrasts with the strict scrutiny requirement normally accorded regulation of First Amendment–protected expression. Critics claim that the secondary effects doctrine has proven fertile ground for abuse, enabling government officials and the communities they represent to conceal their distaste for adult entertainment behind claims of harmful effects. Justice William J. Brennan Jr. warned in his dissent in Boos v. Barry (1988) that the doctrine "could set the court on a road that will lead to the evisceration of First Amendment freedoms." Regulations on adult entertainment businesses led to secondary effects doctrine Adult entertainment establishments are subject to an array of zoning and licensing requirements. A typical regulation provides that adult businesses cannot be within 500 feet of a church, school, playground, or another adult-oriented business. Others dictate the distance between patrons and performers, limit the hours of operation, or prohibit totally nude dancing. Strict licensing requirements must be observed when opening adult businesses. The Supreme Court introduced the secondary effects doctrine in its decision in Young v. American Mini Theatres (1976). The city of Detroit had adopted an anti-skid row ordinance preventing adult businesses from locating within 1,000 feet of any two existing adult businesses or within 500 feet of any residential area. The theater that challenged the law contended that the zoning ordinance was a content-based law that targeted businesses because officials did not like the expressive messages conveyed by the adult material displayed. The Court expanded the secondary effects doctrine in City of Renton v. Playtime Theatres, Inc. (1986). The city of Renton, Washington, passed an adult-business zoning law in 1981 that prevented adult businesses, like the Renton theater pictured here, from locating within 1,000 feet of any residential area, school, park, or church. The Court upheld the ordinance based on the secondary effects rationale. (AP Photo/Barry Sweet, used with permission from the Associated Press) Court cited neighborhood deterioration as 'secondary effect' of adult business concentration The Court reasoned that the law was not passed to silence offensive expression but to prevent the deterioration of neighborhoods. In a footnote, Justice John Paul Stevens characterized such neighborhood deterioration as a "secondary effect," writing that it is "this secondary effect which these zoning ordinances attempt to avoid, not the dissemination of 'offensive' speech." The Court expanded the doctrine a decade later in City of Renton v. Playtime Theatres, Inc. (1986). The city of Renton, Washington, passed an adult-business zoning law in 1981 that prevented adult businesses from locating within 1,000 feet of any residential area, school, park, or church. Two adult businesses challenged the law on First Amendment grounds, pointing out that Renton officials had offered no evidence of harmful secondary effects to the city itself. The Court upheld the ordinance based on the secondary effects rationale. In delivering the opinion of the Court, Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist wrote that "our result is largely dictated by our decision in Young." Law targeting secondary effects of protected expression could be considered neutral He noted that the zoning law resembled a content-based law but ruled that it could be considered content-neutral because the law targeted the secondary effects of the businesses, not their expressive content. The Court also ruled that a city does not have to conduct its own study to justify its reliance on the secondary effects argument. Instead, the city could rely on studies conducted in other cities. The Court extended the secondary effects doctrine from land-use regulations to the content of adult expression in Barnes v. Glen Theatre, Inc. (1991). In Barnes, a narrow majority of the Court upheld an Indiana public-nudity law applied to totally nude dancing at strip clubs. In his concurring opinion, Justice David H. Souter relied on the secondary effects doctrine even though the restriction seemingly imposed a direct regulation on the expressive content of nude dancing. In City of Erie v. Pap's A.M. (2000), the Court applied the secondary effects rationale to uphold a city law banning totally nude dancing. The case involved his club, the only club in Erie, Pennsylvania, featuring all-nude dancers. (AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar, used with permission from the Associated Press) Court applied secondary effects doctrine to uphold city's ban on nude dancing In City of Erie v. Pap's A.M. (2000), the Court applied the secondary effects rationale to uphold a city law banning totally nude dancing. Ironically, both Justice Stevens, who first used the term "secondary effects" in Young, and Justice Souter, who extended the secondary effects doctrine beyond zoning cases in Barnes, dissented in Pap's A.M. Souter admitted he had made a mistake in Barnes: "I may not be less ignorant of nude dancing than I was nine years ago, but after many subsequent occasions to think further about the needs of the First Amendment, I have come to believe that a government must toe the mark more carefully than I first insisted." In City of Los Angeles v. Alameda Books (2002), the Court upheld a Los Angeles ordinance prohibiting a single adult establishment from functioning as both an adult bookstore and an adult arcade showing adult films. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor wrote that "it is rational for the city to infer that reducing the concentration of adult businesses in a neighborhood, whether within separate establishments or in one large establishment, will reduce crimes." Secondary effects doctrine also used for laws involving noise, harm to children The secondary effects doctrine has been applied in cases far removed from the land-use regulation of adult businesses. Some of the secondary effects cited by government officials include noise, security problems, reduced privacy, appearances of impropriety, employment discrimination, negative effects of gambling, competition in the video-programming market, sexual arousal of readers, and harm to children. A federal judge in Kentucky used the secondary effects rationale to uphold the constitutionality of a public high school dress code, determining that the code was really aimed at the "secondary effects of student dress," such as gang activity, violence, and inability to identify campus visitors.

Euro 2016 security concerns grow after French Cup incidents Associated PressMay 24, 2016, 3:34 PM EDT AP Photo/Christophe Ena PARIS (AP) The French football federation opened disciplinary proceedings against Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille on Monday following incidents during the French Cup final that raised major concerns only a few weeks before the country hosts the European Championship. Despite a two-meter high security wall surrounding the Stade de France and triple security checks, supporters smuggled flares into the venue in the northern Paris suburb of Saint-Denis and ignited fires in the stands on Saturday. Some supporters also tried to invade the pitch. [ MORE: Mourinho in talks with United ] Fans also complained about severe overcrowding at the security check points. PSG won the game 4-2. Following a meeting on Monday, the French Interior Ministry said "it has been decided to correct dysfunction without delay in order to guarantee the fluidity of supporters entering sporting venues and to strengthen security checks by private companies and secure stadium exits." Seine-Saint-Denis area prefect Philippe Galli admitted there were serious security breaches during a match that was seen as the final test before Euro 2016, which will be held in 10 cities across France from June 10-July 10. "The system was under pressure, and it gave way on some points," Galli told Europe 1 radio, adding that police were overwhelmed by fans. Galli said problems arose due to the limited number of access points to the stadium, reduced from 26 to just four under the new security plan. He said body searches also need to be improved before the tournament starts. [ MORE: Premier League money table 2015-16 ] Trying to ease concerns, both the football federation and Interior Ministry insisted that security measures put in place during the Euros will be different. The French federation said it did not consider the game a "test event" because it was a club match. Marseille and PSG fans have often clashed in their tense derbies. In the wake of the attacks in Paris that left 130 people dead in November last year, France remains in a state of emergency which was recently extended by two months and will cover the ongoing French Open at Roland Garros, Euro 2016 and the Tour de France in July. It expands police powers to put people under house arrest and allows authorities to forbid the movement of people and vehicles at specific times and places.

Stress has become commonplace among the sufferings of the worldwide population. Many are the consequences caused by this disease, and among them we can mention the fact that anxiety increases, so, often can lead us to break. It is known that stress is a normal body response to situations of danger or alert. Initially, it helps us to react quickly and effectively. However, when this condition is maintained for too long, leading to unwanted symptoms and can damage our health. Sometimes, stress causes increase our appetite, and in those cases, usually eat foods that are not the most suitable for our diet. To learn to control stress levels, the first step is to recognize the causes that cause. Make a list and write down all the situations that produce stress. Then you sort them by first placing the most affecting you and ultimately the least. Once this list, you have to sit and think and devise strategies to cope with stress. Along with every stressful situation, note whether it is something that is in your hands to change (or not) and what could be a solution. Food: Eat a balanced diet, because not only will you look and feel better about yourself, but it will significantly improve your health. Exercise: More than it is known that exercise helps relieve stress, while, incidentally, helps burn calories. Also, while you exercise endorphins are released, and they are the responsible of causing that feeling of pleasure and well-being after that you exercise. Rest: Try to sleep minimally 6 to 8 hours each night. To sleep better, you should reduce (or avoid) the consumption of coffee and alcoholic beverages. Balance: Remember that in life there is a time for everything, recreation is a point we must not forget. Meet friends, listen to music, spend some time doing what we like it is essential to feel good about ourselves. If you're one of those people who find it uncontrollable stress, it is best to seek professional help. And remember, if you're quieter, it will be easier to meet all your obligations and enjoy your life.

You are here:Buildings Stockholm, Sweden – Johan Celsing's crematorium for Woodland Cemetery 1 April, 2010By Rasmus Wærn Johan Celsing's 'stone in the forest' treads carefully in the Woodland Cemetery When the ancient habit of burning corpses instead of burying them was struggling for a renaissance a century ago, Swedish enthusiasts (yes, there were such) turned to young and progressive architects to create the buildings for this newly revived ceremony. With Torsten Stubelius, Sigurd Lewerentz devised an exemplary proposal that became the starting point for Lewerentz's and Erik Gunnar Asplund's collaboration on the Woodland Cemetery in Stockholm. This masterpiece of spiritual architecture and landscape is to be augmented with a new building, for which a limited invited competition has just been settled. The problems of dignifying the technical processes of cremation have not diminished. In fact, they have grown. The new building is intended to be a small but efficient plant where hundreds of thousands of Stockholmers will melt into air, with a tiny corner for mourners to follow the process. The new rite makes the entire edifice sanctified and, apart from the historically charged setting, this is what makes the task so fascinating. The notion of what sort of building might stage and dignify these rituals was very open, as the city turned to such different minds as Bjarke Ingels, Tadao Ando, Caruso St John, White Architects and Johan Celsing for an answer. It was Celsing, in collaboration with landscape architect Müller Illien, who won the day with a modest, almost camouflaged, brick block, described as a 'stone in the forest'. The fallout from the competition for the ill-starred extension of Asplund's City Library (AR January 2010) hung heavily over proceedings. This one must not fail. The site is on a safe distance from Asplund's and Lewerentz's temples. And even if every other submission proposed more intricate spatial arrangements and most were more sculpturally expressive, Celsing's monolith does have the possibility of being the solid 'stone in the forest' it wants to be. It has the same simple, unaffected spirit as the brick buildings of Erwin Heerich at the Insel Hombroich art campus in Germany. However, the jury rejected the concept of serene daylight that characterised proposals from Ando, Caruso St John and even Bjarke Ingels. Like his father Peter, Johan Celsing favours strong contrasts in light and shadow. But there are wonderful examples of simple, even brutal, Swedish crematoriums where the daylight soars in thin air. Compared to these, Celsing's proposal has still a bit to go. But if the stone gets its sacred space, the winner will also be a victor. www.arkitekt.se AR New into Old awards 2019 shortlist revealed A shortlist of 16 exciting and creative interventions that give buildings a new lease of life across the world have been selected by our judging panel AR New into Old awards 2019: winners announced The winner of the 2019 AR New into Old awards, alongside two Highly Commended and three Commended buildings, for sustainable alternatives to building anew have been revealed Practices Present at David Chipperfield Architects 8 October 2019Anna Livia Vørsel DCA managing director Harriet Miller speaks at the inaugural session of Practices Present as part of the W Programme on September 17 2019 Imagined Ireland: Tom de Paor in conversation with The Architectural Review Join us at the Architectural Assocation in London on 14 November to experience Tom de Paor's imagined Ireland In Buildings

WHEN Paul Ryan, the Republican fiscal wunderkind, moved from opposition to power in last year's midterm elections, the biggest question hanging over him was whether he would bring his radical fiscal views with him or quietly stash them in a dark corner as he settled down to the realities of governing. Mr Ryan has answered the question today by unveiling a budget plan that, at least superficially, is almost as bold and painful as the Roadmap for America that he has flogged for years. It claims to slash the federal budget deficit from a little over 9% of GDP this year to just 1.6% by 2021. By contrast, the Congressional Budget Office reckons the deficit would fall to just 4.9% under Barack Obama's budget. He does this without, on net, raising taxes. By closing loopholes, he would pay for a cut in the top personal and corporate rates. So how does he shrink the deficit? Through an eye-watering assault on entitlement spending, in particular health care. Mr Obama's health care reform would be ditched, Medicaid would be converted to block grants, and traditional Medicare would be replaced with vouchers. There are many problems with this strategy but it's worth keeping in mind how remarkable it still is: a legislative proposal that takes dead aim at the real source of the long-term fiscal imbalance, namely, entitlements. Republicans now have an answer to editorials and Democrats demanding to know what their plan is for tackling that looming crisis. Of course, the proposal remains just that, a non-binding resolution that leaves the grimy details to other legislators who may wad them up and toss them in the rubbish bin. But for now, Mr Ryan may have turned what has long been an arcane part of the budget process, the annual budget resolution, into a focal point for long-term debate. Mr Ryan's "chairman's mark" for fiscal 2012 incorporates the steep cuts to discretionary spending (spending that must be authorised each year) that his party is now battling to embed in this year's fiscal 2011 budget. It assumes the same spending on defence and security that Mr Obama did in his 2012 budget. The bigger real cuts come in entitlements, also called mandatory outlays: this is spending that continues automatically from one year to the next. Instead of matching state Medicaid spending the federal government would provide block grants, as was done with welfare under Bill Clinton in the mid-1990s. This would strengthen states' incentives to control costs, rather than having the federal government share in the cost of increased eligibility or coverage. At present, Medicare beneficiaries typically pay premiums and deductibles in return for full coverage of a wide range of medical services. Mr Ryan proposes that starting in 2022, new enrollees receive a voucher from the federal government to buy a private plan. (He prefers the term "premium support" to vouchers, but they're really the same thing.) Neither block grants nor vouchers magically cures the root of rising health care costs, namely, medical inflation and rising case loads. What they do is shift the responsibility for bearing those costs to the states and to individuals. Mr Ryan rather disingenuously says his proposal would "strengthen" Medicaid. I guess you could call it that, if your idea of strengthening your son is to throw him out of the house at age 16 to fend for himself. States will no doubt welcome the freedom to shape Medicaid as they see fit; I doubt they will savour the need to raise taxes or slash services to cope with foregone federal funding. Mr Ryan notes that with the government now paying roughly half of all health care costs, more disciplined federal funding could force efficiency into the system. However, that still leaves rising costs due to technological progress, an aging population, and the shrinking coverage offered by private sector employers. Mr Ryan's cuts will have real consequences. The proportion of Americans with no insurance, which was set to decline significantly under Mr Obama's plan, will rise instead. Medicare beneficiaries, who now enjoy benefits on a par with those enrolled in private plans, would instead have to accept a far less generous range of services, or pay out of pocket for more. On taxes, Mr Ryan proposes chopping the top personal rate to 25%, from its current 35%, and from the 39.6% it is scheduled to reach if George Bush's tax cuts expire as planned in 2013. He would also cut the top corporate rate to 25% from 35%, bringing America's rate in line with international norms. Mr Ryan implies that his plan would be revenue neutral by eliminating loopholes and deductions. Despite the impressive rhetoric, this is still a timid and politicised document by the standards of Mr Ryan's original roadmap and the health care plan he proposed with Alice Rivlin, a budget director under Bill Clinton. Both contained far more detail about precisely how the entitlement changes would be implemented. Unlike the roadmap, his latest proposal completely ignores social security; apparently, you can only touch so many third rails at once. His tax reform plan is so bare bones that judging its credibility is almost impossible. Of the plan's $6.2 trillion in spending cuts over 10 years, more than a quarter come from "other mandatory" categories, without specifying which: food stamps? Pell grants? Veterans' benefits? If the Congressional Budget Office scores this plan, it may well find the numbers don't add up. Its projections of the economic impact are also surreal. To be sure, the plan is not as severe as Britain's: the deficit is only 1.7 percentage points of GDP smaller in 2015 than under Mr Obama's 2012 budget. Economic growth would be dented, but not grievously. Yet Mr Ryan, citing analysis by the Heritage Foundation, claims his plan would actually create 1m additional private sector jobs and slash the unemployment rate to 4% by 2015, compared to the Blue Chip private sector consensus of 6.6%. While the Heritage Foundation is probably not the first organisation most people turn to when seeking authoritative, impartial economic analysis, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Yet when I read their report, I find the prediction of a massive investment boom utterly implausible. Corporations today enjoy record or near record profits. If government deficits were crowding out private investment (a key assumption of their analysis), short-term interest rates would not now be near zero and long-term rates near postwar lows. Mr Ryan risks undermining the credibility of his overall plan by casting its economic consequences in such an implausibly optimistic light. The final question mark about Ryan's plan is: what is it for? It's a non-starter with Democrats and even fellow Republicans are going to think twice about embracing it. After all, they won last year's midterm elections by scaring seniors into thinking Mr Obama would cut their Medicare benefits. Moreover, there is already an alternative long-term deficit reduction plan available: the one advanced by the Simpson-Bowles commission which has been embraced by a growing band of bipartisan senators. Mr Ryan was a member of the commission, but voted against its report, because it included tax increases and didn't repeal Obamacare. Today, he offered his alternative, perhaps not as a final offer but in an attempt to drag the debate further to the right. Whether or not it succeeds, the debate is better off for having it.

Q: Is there a faster implementation of the following code? I have a one-dimensional numpy array, which is quite large in size. For each entry of the array, I need to produce a linearly spaced sub-array upto that entry value. Here is what I have as an example. import numpy as np a = np.array([2, 3]) b = np.array([np.linspace(0, i, 4) for i in a]) In this case there is linear space of size 4. The last statement in the above code involves a for loop which is rather slow if a is very large. Is there a trick to implement this in numpy itself? A: You can phrase this as an outer product: In [37]: a = np.arange(100000) In [38]: %timeit np.array([np.linspace(0, i, 4) for i in a]) 1 loop, best of 3: 1.3 s per loop In [39]: %timeit np.outer(a, np.linspace(0, 1, 4)) 1000 loops, best of 3: 1.44 ms per loop The idea is to a take a unit linspace and then scale it separately by each element of a. As you can see, this gives ~1000x speed up for n=100000. For completeness, I'll mention that this code has slightly different roundoff properties than your original version (likely not an issue in practical applications): In [52]: np.max(np.abs(np.array([np.linspace(0, i, 4) for i in a]) - ...: np.outer(a, np.linspace(0, 1, 4)))) Out[52]: 1.4551915228366852e-11 P. S. An alternative way to express the idea is by using element-wise multiplication with broadcasting (based on a suggestion by @Scott Gigante): In [55]: %timeit a[:, np.newaxis] * np.linspace(0, 1, 4) 1000 loops, best of 3: 1.48 ms per loop P. P. S. See the comments below for further ideas on making this faster.

It was like stepping into a Western film. I did a double take. Is that a character played by Robert Redford hunched at the end of the bar, wearing a cowboy hat and nursing a beer? No, it is just a local rancher, stopping in for a drink at the end of hard day's work. Augusta, Montana, feels like the Wild West. It is a small town—and a gateway city to the awesome expanses of the Bob Marshall Wilderness—made up of ranchers, fishermen, and families. The town has less than four hundred inhabitants and is famous for the Augusta American Legions Rodeo featuring a parade and competitions of roping, steer wrestling, bull riding, barrel racing, and more. And right in the center of Augustan life is the community hangout, the Buckhorn Bar. On my road trip through the state, I stopped in for a bite to eat after a local friend suggested this bar to me. But I was anticipating what I found inside. Outside, you wouldn't think there was much to speak of behind a heavy metal door, painted with a brown silhouette of a buckhorn. Inside, the wood beams of the ceiling are adorned with countless elk antlers donated by locals. In every direction are taxidermy wildlife—an owl, bears, wolves, and even a mountain lion. It is like a museum of wildlife, like nothing I've ever seen before in my life—the city slicker that I am. Tammy Dellwo runs the Buckhorn Bar with her son and husband. She proudly showed me every corner of the space. She shared the microbrews on tap, the Montana landscape photography, the framed Native American arrowheads her family dug up, and the room in the back full of poker machines. This is where many in Augusta come to gather after big events, after church, basketball games, celebrations, and just for fun. Tammy serves burgers, steaks, BLT's and roast chicken. In fact, she is known far and wide for her chicken smothered in a creamy white sauce. Viewfinder Tip: To experience the Old West, be sure to pass through Augusta during the annual Augusta American Legions Rodeo—a local tradition of nearly 80 years. On Friday and Saturday nights the place turns into a dance party—and a rowdy one at that. You might expect country here, but local here get down to hip hop and pop tunes too. On Sunday, during the day, the bar transforms into a family friendly establishment. And throughout the week, the Buckhorn Bar is a welcome respite for anyone needing a break. The Buckhorn Bar seemed to me to be at the heart of local life in this gem of a small town in Montana—second to church, that is. And if you are like me, always trying to feel what real life is really like in a destination, this spot is not to be missed. To watch the video of my visit to the Buckhorn Bar, click here.

Overstock chief executive Patrick Byrne has revealed details about the initial coin offering (ICO) for tZERO's SEC- and FINRA-compliant token exchange. Byrne expects the tZERO ICO to "raise a fortune" and potentially set a new record for token sale fundraising. Last month, Overstock announced that tZERO — one of its blockchain portfolio companies — had entered into a joint venture with the Argon Group and RenGen to develop the first U.S. regulated alternative trading system (ATS) and platform that will be support trading for security tokens. Soon after, Byrne revealed that tZERO would fund the development of this platform with an ICO, a crowdsale that he predicts will "raise a fortune"– $200 million to $500 million "easily". At Money 20/20, Byrne stated that the tZERO ICO — which will only be open to accredited investors — will run from November 15 until approximately December 31 and will be hosted on the recently-announced SAFT Launch platform. As expected, tZERO will embrace the "security" classification, enabling the startup to incorporate both profit-sharing and utility features into the token. Specifically, Byrne explained that the token will entitle investors to a currently-unspecified percentage of tZERO's quarterly profits. Additionally, platform users will receive a discount on trading fees if they choose to pay with the token instead of USD. This year's Money 20/20 conference in Las Vegas has served as a forum for several other significant blockchain announcements intended to attract support from institutional investors. As CCN reported, Bloq — a blockchain startup co-founded by SegWit2x developer Jeff Garzik — announced that it is developing a cross-blockchain cryptocurrency called Metronome that is intended to bring stability to the crypto economy and make institutional firms less hesitant to engage with the ecosystem. However, although Metronome attracted a great deal of media attention, many industry observers believe that Patrick Byrne's announcement of key details about the tZERO ICO will have even more far-reaching implications. Chainstone Labs chief executive Bruce Fenton, for instance, called it the "Most important announcement at Money 20/20".

Entries in Donation (2) Practice alert: China adopts new rules on healthcare donations By Eric Carlson and Anna Zhao | Thursday, October 29, 2015 at 1:08PM Last week, China's chief healthcare regulator, the National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC), published a significant revision to its earlier rules on donations to healthcare entities. This category of entities includes the nation's network of state-run hospitals and clinics where about 90 percent of citizens get their healthcare. tagged China, Donation, healthcare | No Foreign Official, No FCPA Offense By Richard L. Cassin | Sunday, September 14, 2008 at 7:56PM CW (who knows a lot about the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act) asked a great question. Can a payment directly to a foreign government intended to influence decisions in favor of the donor violate the FCPA? Surprisingly, the answer is no. An FCPA offense requires a corrupt payment to a "foreign official." The law defines "foreign official" as a human being but not a government entity. The term "foreign official" means any officer or employee of a foreign government or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, or of a public international organization, or any person acting in an official capacity for or on behalf of any such government or department, agency, or instrumentality, or for or on behalf of any such public international organization. CW's question came up in FCPA Opinion Procedure Release No. 97-02 (November 5, 1997). The requestor was a U.S.-based utility developing a plant in an Asian country. There was no primary school in the plant's vicinity and the requestor planned to donate $100,000 to help build one. The donation would go directly to the government entity responsible for constructing the school. Before releasing any money, the U.S. utility required written assurance from the foreign government that the funds would be used solely to build the school. The government also guaranteed that land for the school would be available, along with other funding needed to build and operate it. According to the Department of Justice, because the "requestor's donation would go directly to a government entity -- and not to any foreign government official -- the provisions of the FCPA do not appear to apply to this prospective transaction." Then there's DOJ Opinion Procedure Release No. 06-01 (October 16, 2006). A Delaware corporation headquartered in Switzerland wanted to contribute $25,000 to an African country's regional customs department or ministry of finance. The money would fund incentive awards to local customs officials. The program was intended to improve enforcement relating to seizures of counterfeit products bearing the trademarks of the requestor and its competitors. Among other controls, the customs department or central government would pay the incentive awards directly to local customs officials and the requestor would have no say in identifying recipients. On that basis, the DOJ said it wouldn't take enforcement action against the requestor for the $25,000 donation. In both cases, however, it was up to the requestor to make sure the donations were consistent with local law. Payments to foreign governments that aren't FCPA offenses (because no "foreign official" is involved) may still violate local anti-bribery laws.

Top 4 Reasons Adulthood is the Perfect Time to Become a Brace-Face! We see it all the time folks- adults who truly believe their opportunity for orthodontic treatment has passed. They believe their teeth are too "set" to move now; that their smiles can never look as fresh and perfect as that middle-schooler showing off their grin on the CC Braces Instagram. Well, do we have news for them! Not only do orthodontics work just as well on adults as adolescents, but at CC Braces, we actually believe that adulthood is the ideal time to join the #braceson club! Here are FOUR of the top reasons why! 4. You won't be the only one! We admit it, braces are usually a rite-of-passage of those exciting childhood years. However, it's not just a fashion statement for high-school hallways. In fact, according to a recent study, as many as 27% of orthodontic patients (in the USA and Canada) are adults- and the numbers are still climbing! As more adults realize the health and aesthetic benefits of seeing an orthodontist, it's becoming easier than ever to find a fellow adult brace-face. No matter your personal or professional situation, we believe that everyone has something to be achieving from having their dream smile. Adults agree with us too- 92% of patients would recommend orthodontic treatment to other adults. Braces may give you a celebrity smile, but there's more to them than just appearance. There are also health benefits that come from having straight teeth. Misaligned teeth can hold food against your teeth in hard-to-brush places, making maintaining a healthy smile difficult even with regular brushing and flossing. This can lead to a buildup of plaque, which can cause bad breath and cavities.Gum diseases become more likely as well, and, in older adults, loss of teeth or bone in the jaw. A crooked bite can cause headaches, jaw problems, and even digestive issues. Fortunately, an orthodontist is trained to spot and correct these issues, helping you achieve a healthy, life-long smile! 2. You CAN afford it! Many adults longed for braces as a child but, unfortunately, were not able to get them at the time. Good news, adults! You're all grown up, and braces probably aren't as expensive as you thought. At CC Braces, we truly believe that financial obstacles should not keep anyone from having the best orthodontic care. Our dedicated financial coordinator would be happy to sit down with you and determine if braces are a possibility for you! From your free consultation to our in-house financing options, Dr. Mihalik and staff want to welcome you to explore a future with the smile you always wanted. It's pretty simple- when you look awesome you feel great, and when you feel great you look awesome! Fortunately, braces can help you do both! The first thing people notice when they're meeting someone new is their smile; a beautiful smile can help break the ice both personally and professionally. With a smile you can be proud of, you won't have to worry about being too self-conscious to let your real smile shine or hiding a grin behind your hand again.In fact, 74% of adults claimed their lives improved as a result of their new-found self-esteem- all as a result of orthodontic treatment! Why wait- call CC Braces NOW to see what we can do for you! Lately, we've been able to feel how ready Corpus Christi is for spring! The wind is warmer, the sea looks inviting, and the bikini-clad Spring-Breakers are out in full force. The arrival of spring brings another season, however- wedding season! It goes without saying- every bride is beautiful! That being said, she and her boo have probably put quite a bit of work into their picture-perfect wedding day looks. Months of working out and dieting, and hundreds of dollars on hair and makeup, are considered normal wedding prep. But what about those smiles? At CC Braces, we believe that a stunning smile can make a good picture a great one! With the wedding right around the corner, however, it's scary to consider visiting the orthodontist to finally get that perfect smile. What if the treatment won't be done in time? Or, worse, what if the doctor thinks it'll be done in time, but there's unforseen complications? Of course, we think ALL of our #bracefaces are adorable, but we understand how a lot of couples are hesitant to risk having braces for their wedding photos. Fortunately, there's an easy solution! CC Braces is proud to be a provider of Invisalign- the invisible alternative to braces! For the same price as traditional metal braces, Dr. Mihalik can easily provide happy couples with a system of clear retainers that slowly move and straighten your teeth! That means you can walk down the aisle WHILE actively working on your smile- and no one ever has to know! And at the reception, you can eat whatever hard, sticky food you want; Invisalign clear aligners can be removed as easily as any other retainer (just be sure to keep an eye on it while it's out). Invisalign won't show up in your pictures, but your beautiful straight smile will! There's more to a wedding-perfect smile than just straight teeth though; when you flash those pearly-whites, you want them to be, well, pearly white.

BMW Brilliance Automotive Opens Battery Factory in Shenyang February 20, 2018 by Roland R. Ackerman Most of the batteries as one of the most important parts of German electric cars have so far come from Asia: according to the National Platform for Electric Most of the batteries as one of the most important parts of German electric cars have so far come from Asia: according to the National Platform for Electric Mobility (Nationale Plattform Elektromobilität), Japanese battery cell manufacturers (market share 26 percent) were the leaders four years ago, followed by Korean (24), Chinese and American (22 percent each) producers. Figure 1: Celebration of BMW Brilliance High Voltage Battery Center Grand Opening This has alerted Germany's carmakers and prompted them to act: Daimler subsidiary Deutsche Accumotive intends to build complex batteries in Kamenz, Saxony, in the future, i. e. to supplement supplied rechargeable batteries with control systems, cooling and housings for the Mercedes-Benz and Smart brands. VW also has plans to build a battery factory in Germany (possibly in Salzgitter). TerraE Holding is planning to build the battery cells for 2019 with a giga-factory of lithium-ion cells with a capacity of 34 GWh by 2028, and the new company is expected to operate the factories as foundry. BMW, on the other hand, has long since integrated its battery production into an existing vehicle plant. For two and a half years now, employees at BMW's Dingolfing site have been manufacturing storage units and electric motors for the company's electric cars and hybrid vehicles on two of its own production lines. BMW pushes for in-house construction The BMW Group is pushing ahead with the expansion of electromobility. Together with its partner Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Ltd. the BMW Group recently opened the new "High Voltage Battery Center" in Shenyang, China. The battery factory supplies the nearby plant of the BMW Brilliance Automotive (BBA) joint venture in Dadong. The BMW 5 Series Plug-in Hybrid will be produced there for the local market in the future. Oliver Zipse, Member of the Board responsible for Production, comments: "The innovative High Voltage Battery Center in Shenyang represents an important step in the BMW Group's electromobility strategy. It is the first battery factory of a premium car manufacturer in China and already the third in our production network after Germany and the USA." The BMW Group integrates its battery factories into the existing international production network. Zipse: "For 2025, we expect that the share of sales of our electrified BMW and MINI models will be between 15 and 25 percent globally. This corresponds to a volume of several hundred thousand vehicles per year. It, therefore, makes sense for us to integrate electromobility into existing production processes." The company can thus react flexibly to the demand for electrified models. Competitive Edge Through In-House Know-How The high-voltage accumulator is - together with the electric motor - a central component of semi- and fully electrified vehicles. In-house production gives the BMW Group a decisive competitive edge by securing know-how in new technologies, gaining important system competence and taking advantage of cost advantages. The company already produces electrified vehicles at ten locations worldwide. The high-voltage storage units required for this purpose come from the BMW Group plants in Dingolfing, Spartanburg (USA) and now also Shenyang. The Dingolfing plant plays a leading role as a competence center for electric drive systems within the network. Figure 2: High-voltage accumulator From the Cell to the High-Voltage Battery The production of the high-voltage accumulators is divided into two production sections. In a highly automated process, the supplied lithium-ion cells, the size of a paperback book, are first tested and then joined together to form a larger unit, the so-called battery modules. The battery modules are then mounted together with the connections, control units and cooling units in an aluminum housing. The size and shape of the aluminum housing and the number of battery modules used vary depending on the vehicle variant. This results in an optimally adapted "battery pack" or high-voltage storage unit. This combination of standardised battery modules and housings flexibly adapted to the vehicle has several advantages: on the one hand, it ensures uniform characteristics and quality standards in the production of high-voltage storage units. At the same time, the modular structure of the high-voltage accumulators forms the basis for a wide variety of electric drive variants. And last but not least, this modular principle creates the prerequisite for being able to react quickly to customer demand and to take advantage of cost advantages. BMW Group of Leading Manufacturers of Electrified Vehicles Worldwide Since the beginning of this year until the end of September, the BMW Group has delivered a total of 68,687 BMW i, BMW iPerformance and electrified MINI vehicles to customers worldwide - an increase of 64.2%. With currently nine electrified automobiles, the BMW Group is one of the leading suppliers of electric vehicles worldwide. By the end of the year, the company plans to sell 100,000 electrified vehicles worldwide. The production site in Shenyang The Shenyang site with the Dadong and Tiexi automobile plants and an engine plant with a light-metal foundry play an important role in the BMW Group's global production network. It is part of the strategy of globally balanced growth with production capacities in the respective regional markets. Figure 3: The production site in Shenyang The BBA production site in Shenyang produces exclusively for the Chinese market. The Dadong plant in the north-east of Shenyang started production in 2003 and is currently building the BMW 5 Series Long Version. In the future, the plug-in hybrid version of the BMW 5 Series and the new BMW X3 will also be produced there. The Tiexi plant in the west of the city, in operation since 2012, produces the BMW X1 long version (including a plug-in hybrid version), the BMW 1 Series Sedan, the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the BMW 3 Series Long Version and the BMW 3 Series Sedan. The engine plant, which opened in 2016, produces the latest generation of BMW TwinPower Turbo 3 and 4-cylinder gasoline engines. The BMW Brilliance Automotive joint venture The joint venture BMW Brilliance Automotive was founded in 2003 and comprises the production and sales of BMW automobiles in China as well as local development tasks. The joint venture employs over 16,000 people. The BBA supplier network comprises around 350 local suppliers. In 2014, the contract between the BMW Group and Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Ltd for their joint venture was extended prematurely - four years before the end of the current contract - thus creating the basis for a deepening of the existing successful cooperation. The contract extension is valid for ten years (from 2018 to 2028). The BMW Group Production Network High customer demand and the launch of new models in 2016 led to very good capacity utilisation of the BMW Group's production network. BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce vehicles produced a new record figure of 2,359,756 units. Of these, 2,002,997 were BMW, 352,580 MINI and 4,179 Rolls-Royce. The plants in Germany are responsible for around half of the volume, with more than one million vehicles produced. With its unique flexibility, the BMW production system is the world's leading production system and is ideally positioned for the future. It is characterized in particular by high efficiency and robust processes. The BMW Group's production competence thus represents a decisive competitive advantage and contributes to the company's profitability and sustainable success. Figure 4: Production competence In addition to flexibility, quality and responsiveness are key factors in the BMW production system. Digitisation, standardised building blocks and an intelligent mixed construction method prove the high competence of the production network. At the same time, the production system offers the customer a very high degree of individualization and allows the modification of customer requirements up to six days before delivery. Greater Transparency in the Decomposition of Cobalt In addition, the BMW Group aims to further increase the transparency of its battery cell supply chain and to examine options for model projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Cobalt is considered a key component in the production of electrified vehicles and is present in large quantities in high-voltage electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. Companies working with cobalt as a raw material are confronted with the challenge that violations of environmental standards and human rights cannot be completely ruled out when reducing cobalt. From the outset - for more than one and a half years - the BMW Group has been involved in the Responsible Cobalt Initiative (RCI) - together with numerous other companies and organisations, the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The aim of this initiative is to increase transparency and governance and to implement collective measures to deal with social and environmental risks in the cobalt supply chain. Against this background, the BMW Group has decided to take further steps On the one hand, the company will increase the transparency of its own cobalt supply chain by the end of the year. To this end, information on the raw material's melting and countries of origin is made publicly available. These melts are not direct suppliers of the BMW Group, but companies that are named by suppliers of the BMW Group as sources of supply. In addition, the BMW Group is currently conducting a feasibility study with an independent partner to determine whether the social and ecological situation in model mines in the artisanal mining sector in the Democratic Republic of Congo can be sustainably improved. Specifically, it will be investigated whether pilot projects with the potential for future scalability can be implemented on-site. Ursula Mathar, Head of Sustainability and Environmental Protection at the BMW Group: "The BMW Group does not obtain any cobalt itself, but only obtains this raw material for example by purchasing battery cells. However, we are aware that with the increasing demand for electric vehicles, there is also a responsibility to extract relevant raw materials such as cobalt. As a premium manufacturer, we aim to establish a transparent and sustainable supply chain that meets the highest demands, also in the interests of our customers." The BMW Group currently assumes that the first steps towards examining a model project on-site will take place in December 2017 at the same time as the publication of melts and countries of origin. The BMW Group's activities in the field of battery cell supply chain underline the fact that it is taking a holistic approach to electromobility, taking into account all facets of the value-added chain in order to promote solutions for sustainable mobility.

Feinman SOURCE: The Washington Post What South Africa Can Teach Us About Reparation tags: racism, South Africa, reparations by Ereshnee Naidu-Silverman Ereshnee Naidu-Silverman is the senior director for the Global Transitional Justice Initiative at the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience. Last week, for the first time in more than a decade, the House of Representatives held a hearing to discuss the issue of reparations for slavery and subsequent laws that discriminated against African Americans. Testimony from experts like Ta-Nehisi Coates made the argument for reparations by outlining how the United States economically benefited from slave labor. It also highlighted more than a century of oppressive policies that occurred after slavery ended, as well as legacies of discriminatory practices, ranging from the disproportionately high mortality of African American women in childbirth to the mass incarceration of African Americans. The congressional debate then focused on who will bear the costs of a reparations program, how beneficiary eligibility would be determined and how much states would pay. But the hearings overlooked one component crucial to addressing the ongoing structural racism in the United States: truth-telling. Can community reparations — which will prioritize African Americans' access to services, institutional reform, scholarships for African American children, symbolic measures such as a public apology for past wrongs — make a difference? Yes, but only if accompanied by a public truth-telling project that addresses continued white denialism, exposes the reality of racism and makes clear the consequences of decades of inaction. To do this, Americans can learn from South Africa, which over two decades ago undertook a national, public truth-telling initiative — the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) — to address its long history of institutionalized racism. That initiative was a necessary first step in the country's process of healing and rebuilding relationships, rooted in a shared past. In framing reparations as a broader development program, Mbeki diluted the impact of the TRC's message, which highlighted the moral wrong of apartheid and the effects it had on black South Africans. The benefit of reparations is as much about the process — the recognition of harm done, the need to make amends and efforts to reintegrate a specific group back into society as equal citizens — as it is about the actual form that the reparations would take.
