Download the complete paper: EDRM Guidelines for E-Discovery Processing v3CC4 E-discovery involves the exchange, analysis and review of electronic files, email and other information stored on a computing device. Over the past two decades, it has become a common part of U.S. litigation and regulatory investigations, spurring the growth of a multi-billion dollar litigation support market. It has also spawned a new specialty for legal professionals, many of whom now focus their practices on, and get certified for, this aspect of litigation. The goal of an e-discovery effort is to surface relevant information for trial, arbitration or a hearing. The process begins with the identification of electronically-stored information (“ESI”) that may be relevant to the matter and ends with the production of responsive, non-privileged ESI to a requesting party. In between are a series of steps designed to move data from identification and collection through processing, review, analysis, and production. The stages through which ESI moves from its original location through trial or a hearing are depicted in the EDRM (Electronic Discovery Reference Model), which is a widely-accepted conceptual model of the e-discovery process. Over the years, the model has evolved and is often used to help people understand how the ediscovery process works. These guidelines, adapted from Craig Ball’s seminal work, “Processing in E-Discovery, A Primer, ©2019, will focus on the processing stage of the EDRM. As you can see from the EDRM model, processing bridges the gap between preservation/collection and review/analysis. During processing, ESI that has been collected using a variety of methods and tools is processed through a series of steps and prepared for review. In the early days, processing included printing ESI for manual review. As ESI volumes increased, printing to paper no longer made sense. Modern processing software converts ESI into a standard format for electronic review, with the resulting data often being loaded into specialized litigation support software. Here is one look at the complexities underlying a standard processing workflow from Craig Ball’s Processing in E-Discovery primer. In sharing this diagram, we are not suggesting that it provides the only order of steps to perform this work (e.g. OCR is usually done after you filter (DeNIST, De-Dupe, Date), in order to reduce the amount of files it needs to run through). There are many ways to attack the problem. Rather, this is a visual view of processing, one that may help readers better appreciate the complexities underlying this stage of the EDRM. These guidelines will help elucidate this often overlooked stage of the EDRM and will help readers better understand the basic steps involved in processing and the needs of the legal professions at this stage. In that regard, these guidelines are addressed to those who (a) use processing products, (b) support these products,(c) processing products, and (d) are new to e-discovery and want to learn about the processing stage. In preparing the guidelines, the drafting team worked from the following principles: - Our focus will be on processing functions rather than processing products. It will not discuss the individual strengths and weaknesses of specific products. - Our intent is to describe the processing functions required for successful e-discovery processing and to note functions deemed optional, albeit desirable, in some instances. Our goal is to set a floor, not a ceiling. - Processing consists of a number of tasks. A single product may attempt to accomplish all of these tasks or only a subset. - A processing product may also attempt to facilitate other functions, such as data review. Similarly, one may rely on a single product for processing or several products to achieve that aim. - As a cardinal rule, processing operations should not alter or destroy files or metadata. Like the EDRM itself, processing functions proceed through a number of logical steps which, for convenience, are referred to as “phases.” Following a lawyer’s penchant for chronology, the phases are ordered to follow the ESI from the point where collection is completed to when processed data is ready for review. This is not to suggest that a good processing engine must work in this order or that any product must perform every step in each phase. Rather, the goal is to present the key processing steps in a logical order to encompass all functions traditionally included in the processing stage of e-discovery. The key phases for the processing stage of the EDRM are: - 0 ESI Ingestion and File Extraction - 0 Initial Filtering - 0 Text, Metadata and Image Extraction - 0 Output - 0 Reporting These guidelines will discuss each phase and how they may be used to meet legal industry needs. The term is shorthand for electronic discovery and is sometimes spelled eDiscovery or ediscovery. In the U.K. and some other jurisdictions, this process is known as e-disclosure. For convenience, we will use e-discovery to refer to all of its variants. See EDRM Glossary at 1106 ( https://edrm.net/resources/glossaries/glossary). E-discovery is less common outside the U.S. Many civil law countries, including those in the EU, do not allow e-discovery or limit it to evidence needed to support a claim or defense at trial. In contrast, most common-law jurisdictions, such as the U.K., Australia or Canada, allow e-discovery but often with a more limited scope than in the U.S. For more about ESI processing read Craig Ball’s “Processing in E-Discovery, A Primer,” published in 2019 and available here. It is an excellent source for those seeking to better understand this stage of e-discovery and to learn about industry requirements for processing functionality.

Getting to Know Belmont University (TN) Belmont University is located in Nashville, one of America’s fastest growing cities and entertainment capitals. It has attracted attention out my way for music and music business, so I was motivated to learn more. I gathered a few photos of Belmont University from Pinterest so you can see some of this beautiful campus for yourself. You should also check out the aerial at the top of the page. Brooke Brannin, Director of University Admissions at Belmont University and Chris Gage, Associate Provost and Dean of Enrollment Services granted me an interview. I invite you to listen now. Belmont University has 6,700 undergrads and over 1,500 grad students. Seventy-three percent of the undergrads come from out of state. Founded in 1890 as a college for women, Belmont women outnumber the men in the undergraduate student body by a margin of 2 to 1. Eighty-three percent of the applicants for the Class of 2024 were accepted. The average SAT (1210), ACT (26) and high school GPA (3.8) are about the same as they would be for a freshman class at the University of Tennessee. Admissions were not exceptionally selective for most majors, though several will be talent based, requiring auditions or portfolios. The health related majors and architecture will have higher admissions standards, as they do at other schools. The school offers over 100 undergraduate majors, more than many larger schools. Belmont is a true “go-to” school for people who are serious about all aspects of music. There’s a BBA in Music Business, a BA in Music or Musical Theatre and a BS in Audio Engineering Technology. Bachelor of Music degrees are offered in Composition, Performance, Therapy, Education, Technology, Theatre and Theory. Music Business is the more popular major at Belmont. That’s no surprise to me, given the school’s size and location. Belmont University offers several other majors that are hard to find elsewhere. Applied Mathematics, Architecture, Creative and Entertainment Industries, Emerging Media, Fashion Design, Fashion Merchandising, Interior Design and Pharmaceutical Sciences are just a few. You have to go to a larger, less personal state university or a specialized school to find most of these options. The facilities that support most of these programs are among the cleanest and nicest that you will find on any college campus anywhere, based on what I saw online. Belmont also loses just under a fifth of a freshman class, more than some larger schools that offer a less personal experience. The four-year graduation rate has topped 60 percent, beginning with the class that arrived in 2013. But at the same time, Belmont is one of the fastest growing colleges in the country. Full-time undergraduate enrollment was 4,600 in 2011. It’s grown by 46 percent since then. The university has added new housing to support it. More than half of Belmont students live on campus, including all of the freshmen. There is some really nice housing at this school, including apartments. Being close to downtown Nashville, off-campus housing could be more expensive than some families would like. Belmont can get expensive versus other schools that have the same majors. Direct charges (tuition and fees, room and board) will be just under $52,000 for next year. Add in essentials and the cost of attendance will approach $60,000. Average student loan debt for borrowers who graduated two years ago approached $33,000. About a third of the freshmen who entered in 2019 received merit scholarships. But these averaged only $9,300. Yet Belmont could be price competitive with non-resident charges at several flagship state universities, including Clemson, the University of Alabama or the University of South Carolina. However, admissions to a nursing program, among others at these schools, will be more competitive. Nursing is the second most popular major at Belmont with good reason. Outside of the choice of curricula at the university, Nashville has a huge health care industry. Belmont is a Christian school. But it does not require entering students to sign a declaration of faith. However, there are rules that you will also find at Christian schools that do. The university places limits on the hours when members of the opposite sex can visit in the residence halls. The university allowed no visitation hours at all during the current academic year due to COVID. Belmont also has strict rules against drinking, drugs and smoking on campus. From the reviews that I read on Niche, these rules are enforced quite seriously. This school also requires two courses in Religion, within a choice of two paths. One path includes courses in the Old and New Testament. The other path is a course in the Bible, plus a choice of one class from a set of elective signature courses. Aside from wellness courses, the other general education requirements are similar to most other public and private universities. Belmont also requires non-academic credits. I have been to Christian schools that are strict about chapel attendance, Belmont is not. However, students must participate for 60 hours over four years in programs and events that cover each of six dimensions (my word, not the school’s): intellectual, occupational/financial, cultural, spiritual, interpersonal/emotional/physical and community well-being through service. Some of these programs and events might be related to your major, others showcase your friend’s talents, others bond students together. Failure to meet this requirement can actually be a reason to deny a diploma. The intention of these programs and events is to help every student become a better person through each dimension and form their own belief systems. Motivated students would likely attend the academic and professionally related events on their own. But the 60-hour requirement makes me ask if the students would ignore some dimensions without it. One suggestion if you are considering Belmont: get a list of the events and programs that would be offered under each of the six dimensions. If you seriously mind being told that you must devote 10 or more hours to things you would not otherwise do, then consider another college. Belmont is a “basketball school” that deserves more support. The men’s basketball program has qualified for the NCAA Tournament nine times since 2006, including last season when it was cancelled. This past year the Bruins might have been one of the best teams not to get in. They went 26-4 and won their conference title. I found a Nashville Post story about this. After reading it I felt that they were robbed. The Bruin women were also conference champions and got into the NCAA Tournament as a 12th seed, upsetting fifth seeded Gonzaga in the first round. But they were knocked out of the tournament by Indiana in the next one. However, attendance for both programs–they play in a venue that has over 5,000 seats–is not what it could be. The men averaged 2,300 per home game in 2020 according to the NCAA. The women averaged just over 1,200. I watched more YouTubes about Belmont University than I have for most other schools. The campus looks like a place where students can feel safe, educated and happy, if they find their major, make friends quickly, and are willing to live by the rules..But while Belmont does not require all students to be Christian, it asks them to follow stricter rules that are common to schools that require a declaration of Christian faith. If you like what you see, hear and read about Belmont you must abide by them no questions asked. You’re only two miles from downtown Nashville, a city that offers more than most college students could ever do over four years. And among the more than 33,000 Belmont alumni registered on LinkedIn.com, over 19,000 are based in or near Nashville. That says a lot for a university as well as a city. The students might come from afar, but they don’t stray far after they graduate. Need help on the journey to college? Contact me at email@example.com or call me at 609-406-0062.

One and a half hours is my usual commute time to my current work place. It takes forty-five miles to get there. During winter storm it takes much, much longer… I certainly have enough time to listen to the Boston Public Radio (WBUR station), and my thoughts usually start with “WHY are we all sitting here?”, slowly moving, wasting fuel, and finally contributing our share to the Global Warming… Good Morning (or Good Night) America on Wheels! Abflussrohr Reinigung WBUR is not for the weak of heart. Domestic topics range from how big is a golden parachute for a CEO who failed to manage a bank or corporation (usually an eight digit number), to sliding dollar and looming recession … All symptoms, all the information that could drive us crazy and push us out of our driver seats… Yet, I listen to my favorite radio station with great pride that we are still driving and going to our jobs to keep America moving . Our destination is clearly articulated. The verdict for all of us is “guilty”; we are guilty of not spending enough or not saving enough and, it seems as if no matter what we do “We are doomed!”. But my Russian common sense forged in trenches of communism and hardened by capitalism is refusing to give up. There is a proverb from my old days “Saving life of a drowning man is the business of that drowning man!” Since I cannot separate myself from the rest of us sliding in to recession, I find myself thinking how to stop that. I have enough time; say a couple of weeks to find a solution. Otherwise, this contract with the bank will be the last of what I could get from this economy. Well, unemployment is still guaranteed, but it will not cover all my recent acquisitions and multiplying loans (Note: nobody can blame me for not spending enough to keep our economy running; I am a patriot after all!). I am a deeply technical person. I am thinking in technical terms, and always trying to crunch through the numbers. How many of us are commuting every day? In fact, an overwhelming majority of people between 20 and 60 years old do, roughly a half of US population of 300 million. The analysis gives us a number of 220 million. What is the average commute? It is approximately 16 miles one way. Expecting 20 miles per gallon, we consume about 300 million gallons of gasoline for the nation’s one working day commute. It takes up nearly 75% of the total US gasoline consumption according to at least two sources [2, 3]. These numbers represent quite rough estimate, and relate to gasoline only (there are also kerosene and diesel fuels), but we do not need exact numbers. It answers the question of who consumes most of the gasoline. We do! And we do that by commuting. Subsequently, commuting is a source of increasing fuel demand and pricing, air pollution, traffic creation, cause of political instabilities and intrigues around the world, etc. This list can go on and on for quite some time.

Parkour is a sport that involves jumping from one building to another, scaling walls with ease, and maneuvering through obstacles with speed and agility. Parkour originated in France in 1990s and has since been a popular form and expression of movement all over the world. What is Parkour? Parkour is a discipline that emphasizes efficient movement in your environment. Parkour’s practitioners, known as traceurs, learn to run, jump and swing using their bodies and surroundings to move creatively and quickly through urban environments. Parkour is not a sport. It is a mental and physical practice that improves mobility, self-confidence, and physical fitness. Parkour is often paired alongside freerunning, which emphasizes artistic expressions and acrobatics. Freerunning is sometimes called “parkour’s flip heavy cousin.” How does parkour work? Parkour is about moving through your environment as efficiently and quickly as possible using your body and any obstacles. Parkour movements are often improvised and tailored to the environment in which they are performed. You might use walls, railings or benches to support your body or propel it. Parkour is a form of jumping, vaulting and rolling. Why do people practice parkour? Parkour is practiced for many reasons. Some parkour for the challenge and the chance to push their bodies to the limits. Parkour offers the opportunity for creativity and freedom of movement. Others see it as a way of improving their confidence and overcoming mental barriers. Parkour is a way to live. Many people find great satisfaction in mastering the discipline. How do you get started with Parkour? It is important to be aware that parkour can be dangerous and requires training, experience, and safety precautions before you start practicing it. Find a local parkour gym or training facility where you can learn from skilled trainers and practice in safe surroundings. Online tutorials and resources are available to help you learn basic techniques, but they shouldn’t replace professional training. Safety is your number one priority. You should always take it slow and build up your experience and skills over time. Basic Parkour Techniques These are some basic techniques that you can use to start practicing parkour: Jumping is one the most basic parkour techniques. Jumping involves jumping from one foot or both feet and landing onto your feet, knees or hands. You can start with small jumps, then increase the distance and height you can cover. Vaulting is a technique that requires you to use your hands to propel yourself across obstacles such as walls or rails. There are three types of vaults: the safety vault, speed vault and the kong vault. Rolling is a technique that absorbs shock and protects your body from falling or jumping. Rolling forward over your shoulder and across the back, while tucking your head in and keeping your weight centered is how it works. Climbing is the act of scaling walls, fences or other vertical obstacles with your upper body strength and technique. There are many types of climbing techniques available, including the cat climb and wall climb. Parkour is a physically demanding discipline that offers many mental and physical benefits. Here are some top benefits to practicing parkour. Physical Fitness Improvement Parkour is a great form of exercise that increases your strength, endurance and balance. Parkour can also help you lose calories and build lean muscle mass. Higher Cognitive Function Parkour requires you to adapt and solve problems constantly. This helps you improve your cognitive function as well as your critical thinking skills. Increased confidence and self-reliance Parkour requires persistence, mental toughness, self-discipline, and mental toughness. Working towards your goals and conquering obstacles builds confidence and self-reliance. Improved Creativity & Expression Parkour is a highly creative discipline that encourages individual expression and originality. Parkour encourages you to think outside of the box and to find unique ways to move around your environment. Parkour Safety Tips Parkour is a dangerous activity. It’s important to do it safely in order to avoid injury. Here are some safety tips: Always keep your body warm and cool. Before you begin practicing parkour, warm up by stretching and light exercise. To ease muscle soreness, do some gentle exercises and stretch afterwards. Wear Proper Gear Comfortable, durable clothing that allows you to move freely should be made from breathable fabric. Good-quality, supportive athletic shoes should provide good traction. Slowly start and gradually increase your progress Once you have mastered the basics, don’t try advanced parkour techniques. Slowly build your strength, endurance, and skills. Practice in a Safe Environment Parkour should be practiced in a safe place with safety precautions such as mats, pads and safety gear. Avoid practicing on uneven surfaces or in dangerous areas. Parkour is a discipline that combines creativity, physical fitness, and mental toughness. Parkour is a difficult practice that requires persistence, patience, and the willingness to push yourself beyond your comfort zone. Parkour can be a rewarding and fulfilling activity if you have the right training and safety precautions.

Decarbonizing Heat in the U.S. Northeast: Workshop Insights and Key Takeaways (May 2023) summarizes discussions from a workshop that the Energy Futures Initiative (EFI) held in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on December 6, 2022. The workshop brought together nearly 50 stakeholders and thought leaders from the Northeast to discuss the challenges and opportunities of heating decarbonization in the U.S. Northeast, particularly for commercial and residential buildings. They discussed the potential role of low-carbon fuels, such as clean hydrogen and renewable natural gas (RNG), to complement electrification in the region’s resource mix. The U.S. Northeast (New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine) has several constraints that make its energy sector difficult to decarbonize. The region has relatively limited fossil fuel resources, as well as densely populated urban centers and protected lands in which it is difficult to site new energy infrastructure, pipelines, and transmission lines. The region also has aging infrastructure and winter weather conditions that can stress buildings and energy supply. These regional characteristics make decarbonization in the residential and commercial buildings sector—often viewed as relatively easier to electrify—particularly challenging. The region should commit to technology optionality and flexibility, emphasizing solutions that limit new infrastructure and support energy resilience. Technologies such as offshore wind power, imported hydropower, nuclear power, clean hydrogen, and low-carbon fuels can offer substantial upside if siting and permitting challenges are met. The workshop covered how to navigate issues of planning, financing, and siting energy projects and enabling infrastructure to decarbonize heating. The workshop was broken up into three panel discussions on the roles that technology and infrastructure, communities, and policy could play in helping the region meet its decarbonization goals. - Panel 1 – Evaluating the role of low-carbon fuels in the region’s decarbonization: Panelists evaluated different technology and infrastructure solutions for regional decarbonization, with a focus on the role of low-carbon fuels in the context of regional boundary conditions. Switching away from fuel oil is important for reducing emissions and protecting the region from global supply chain disruptions. Clean fuels, such as RNG, can work with the region’s existing infrastructure to replace fuel oil as a backup fuel during peak demand periods in the winter months. - Panel 2 – Discussing ways to involve local communities as partners in the region’s decarbonization: Panelists explored relationship building with front-line communities in project development and policy discussions. One method to strengthen community involvement is to acknowledge community members as local experts. For partnerships to be effective, communities must trust industry, and industry must trust communities. It is also crucial that relationships between communities and project developers be relational, not transactional. - Panel 3 – Reviewing policy tools that foster low-carbon fuels’ supply and demand: Panelists considered additional policy options for heating decarbonization in the context of recent concerted efforts at the federal level, such as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act. Technology-agnostic policy opportunities will be important, given the relative lack of decarbonization policy and regulation in the Northeast to date. Clean heating standards, renewable portfolio standards, and carbon pricing could further encourage clean fuel supply and demand in the region. All seven states in the Northeast have greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets of at least 80% by midcentury. The region will need to move quickly to support the needs and goals of local communities and meet its climate goals. (Share this post with others.)

Large-scale rallies were held in Tbilisi in support of Georgia’s integration into the European Union Large-scale rallies supporting Georgia’s EU integration were held in Tbilisi on 20 and 24 June. According to Netgazeti, 140-160 thousand people attended the 20 June rally. Students from 10 universities joined the rally. The demonstration was mainly led by public figures and there were no political figures among the speakers. MEPs Anna Fotyga, Rasa Jukneviciene, Markéta Gregorová and Andrius Kubilius addressed the rally on June 20. The pro-European demonstration was assessed by the representatives of the government and the opposition. “The people that wants Europe came out at this rally,” said Irakli Kobakhidze, Chairman of the Georgian Dream party. GD MP Beka Davituliani reiterated that the June 20 rally was organized by people affiliated with the United National Movement, although his friends who support the ruling party were among those who attended. “If the government is not deaf and blind, it should see and take into account what these people are saying.” – said Davit Usupashvili, one of the leaders of the party “Lelo – for Georgia”. According to Netgazeti, 60-80 thousand people attended the June 24 rally. The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and the Chairman of his faction in the Parliament of Ukraine David Arakhamia addressed the manifestation. At the June 24 rally, the “Shame” movement made a specific demand to the government and demanded the resignation of Irakli Gharibashvili and his government by July 3, after which a technical government will be formed based on national consent, which will be assembled based on a compromise. According to the decision of the European Council, Ukraine and Moldova have been granted the status of EU candidate, and Georgia – the European perspective. If the 12-point recommendations published by the EU are implemented by December 2022, Georgia will automatically become a candidate for EU membership. A rally demanding the resignation of the government will be held in Tbilisi on July 3 The next demonstration organized by the civil society in Georgia will be held on July 3, at 20:00. As Shota Digmelashvili, a representative of the civil movement “Shame”, said at the rally in front of the parliament, the organizers of the rally will campaign in the regions of Georgia and gather citizens on 3 July. He said that protesters will stay in front of the parliament building and will not disperse until “the oligarchy is eliminated.” Irakli Kobakhidze, the chairman of the Georgian Dream, said about the July 3 rally: “On June 20, there was a rally around the idea of Europe. But when they proposed political demands, you see that only 10 000 people attended the demonstration. There may not be that much left [at the July 3 rally], there are a maximum of 10,000 people they can bring.” He said that the organizers of the rally “with their political demands” do not have enough resources to “even half fill” Freedom Square.

The National eGovernance Division (NeGD) under the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) recently organised ‘AI Pe Charcha’ (AI Dialogue) wherein the panellists discussed and shared their vantage points on the significance of data-driven and AI-enabled governance along with the global best practices. The eminent panellists spoke about the importance of using the right data and how different governments around the world have employed AI to standalone departments and processes for devising prudent policies. Abhishek Singh, President and CEO, NeGD, in his opening remarks noted that there are ample amount of case studies from around the world on the use of AI in the fields of Healthcare, Agriculture, Skilling, Manufacturing etc. “What is needed is that such solutions become more ubiquitous and benefit people more and more,” he added. Dr Martin Klein, Global General Manager, Public Services, SAP, Walldorf, Germany delivered the keynote address and shared his views on AI for Public Sector, Defence & Security, Postal Services, Future Cities. Klien said, “AI-driven governance empowers us with the knowledge of predicting challenges and endows us with the ability to successfully mitigate such challenges; This helps us take actions proactively, draft citizen-friendly policies and also enhance our overall working processes.” Rahul Lodhe, Senior Director, Engineering, Head of SAP Artificial Intelligence Foundation, India gave a presentation and demo of AI-driven solutions like COVID-19 City-scale simulator and Logistic modelling, Complex Document extraction to Government Resource Planning Systems and Intelligent Accounting Automation –Invoice, Receipt, Accounts Reconciliation using Machine Learning.

The Name Game I walked into the holiday celebration and surveyed the room filled with a hundred guests. Fifty employees and their spouses. One hundred names to remember. I straightened my dress and smiled. No problem. People always tag me as a hyper-extrovert born with a photographic memory. Nothing could be further from the truth. The fact is, I’m an alpha-introvert with a trained and practiced set of communication skills. Nothing natural about it. My job as a corporate pilot required a strong, reassuring voice when I spoke to senior executives riding on the planes. My job as a corporate spouse, however, demands I take a sincere interest in the people that support my husband. In order to survive in both positions I developed an action plan. A strategy that helps me remember names, occupations and personal details of people I meet. Even if the group numbers in the double-digits. Here’s what I’ve learned: p>The meet and greet. Large groups, quick introduction: When meeting someone new, look the person straight in the eye and then focus on their mouth as they say their name. If you miss it on the first pass, politely ask them to repeat it. (Parties are often loud and it can be difficult to hear.) Then, use their name while introducing yourself. “Hello, their name, I’m your name.” Make a mental note about something unique or significant about this person. A physical trait, style of clothing, unusual piece of jewelry, an accent, or uncommon name. (This should be fairly easy, we all have distinguishing characteristics. It’s okay to use a little humor, after all, this memory cue is in your head.) Before you move on to the next guest, make sure to offer a polite exchange. I like to make an observation or comment on the occasion. For example: “What a festive evening or there is a lot of good energy in this room tonight.” (Any general comment will do, but the most important part of this two second statement is that you make it sincere, your own. Coined, salesy sayings such as “It’s nice to see you” usually leave an uncomfortable silence. Instead, if you create a comment that ends in a question, you will give your new acquaintance an easy way to comment and then make a polite transition to the next guest. (Not to mention, you may learn something about them by the way they answer.) Here’s one I like to use: “The host (insert a name or company) always throws such a fantastic party, don’t you think?” After the guest responds, go ahead and traverse the rest of the mass one introduction at a time. Small group, longer exchange: Now that you’re in less of a rush, speak slowly and clearly acting as if, for that moment, the person opposite you is the only one in the room. Use the above name repetition technique: make sure you hear their name and then repeat it back when you introduce your own. Beyond the one minute mark: Listen. As your acquaintance is speaking don’t let your mind jump ahead to what clever thing you’re going to say next. (This includes allowing your eyes to wander, checking out who else is in the room) Seriously listen. If the person is waiting for you to take the lead ask a probing question. What kind of work to you do? (People will usually give a general answer like accountant, lawyer, mechanic, baker. When they do, ask a quick follow-up. “What kind of accountant…” Have you always been in that position? Is your degree in that field?(Most people have great stories about how they wind up in their jobs. This is an easy, comfortable topic for them to share.) If you are uncertain if a person is at home or out in the workplace just go ahead and ask. “Are you working at home or out in the workplace?” This gives stay at home parents, consultants or people with unconventional occupations a chance to share there day-to-day schedules without any awkward explanations. Often times stay at home parents answer this question with, “I’m at home raising my children. Georgia who is eight, Austin who is six.” (Now you have more information to build on for follow-up questions.) If you find yourself at specialized conferences or corporate dinners where there is a lot of high-level “shop talk”, don’t be afraid to ask universal questions. Recently I was at an event and assigned a seat next to a very high-profile Army general. Now I could have spent days reading his autobiography and reviewing articles on his strategic policies (which, by the way, if you’re really interested, go ahead in do the research) but instead I leaned over at the stiff officer and said, “iPhone or Blackberry?” The general looked at me and smiled. We spent the next four hours discussing the pros and cons of handheld devices. Other examples of universal questions: Natural gas or coal? Hybrid or electric? Mac or PC? OU or OSU? (Forgive me, I’m in Oklahoma.) But my point is, there are always topics and interests we all share as human beings. If you find yourself in an area where you’re totally outgunned, shift the conversation to a universal topic and ask a question. Everyone is an expert on something, you just need to listen and ask specific questions. If in doubt, talk about what you’re passion about, something you know. I attend more events than I want to admit and I never tire of hearing someone tell me about something they love doing. Finally, my secret weapon. My memory teaser. On the way home from events I type the names and one distinguishing characteristic of the people I’d met into the notes page on my phone. Once the list is complete, I email it to myself and then print a hardcopy when I get home. The printed sheet gets filed into a folder and the next time I’m invited to a similar event, I review my notes. I warned you. No photographic memory. Just detailed notes. Old school.

Children are problem solvers by nature. They are constantly—without always being aware of it—generalizing their observations of the world around them to make sense of what’s going on and make predictions about consequences. EDC’s work honors what students can figure out, and emphasizes connections, and promotes multiple approaches to topics. Our pedagogical approach builds on students’ curiosity, using puzzles and surprise to explore rich mathematical ideas. “Mathematics is not about what you know, but about what you can figure out using what you know.” — E. Paul Goldenberg

I read THIS answer that was really good on how to change the keyboard layout with Left Ctrl + Left Shift, but when I use Ctrl Shift C (to copy on terminals) and Ctrl Shift V (to paste on terminals) the keyboard layout changes and I cannot perform the copy/paste action. In Elementary Luna, which I had previously, It would only change the Layout ON KEY UP. Hence, it would not conflict with Ctrl + Shift + (whatever key). And on Freya, according to that answer, it is ON KEY DOWN. Is there any chance to make it work like Luna, and the key combination Left Shift + Left Ctrl take effect only ON KEY UP?

Advocates, local farmers, and company owners pushed for a rewrite of California’s cannabis tax code as they fight to survive in the face of increasing operational and regulatory fees. Participants assembled outside the Capitol in Sacramento to voice their cause and stress that the California cannabis business will fail if prompt action is not taken. Co-founder and executive director of Supernova Women Amber Senter called out the crisis in the cannabis industry’s crisis, which she says is “on the brink of collapse.” “Not only has the state fallen short in promises to right the wrongs inflicted upon black and brown communities impacted by the war on drugs, but it has also perpetuated regressive war-on-drugs 2.0 policies through oppressive taxation, which must end,” said Senter in a statement. “This is our cry and plea for help.” Senter and others have petitioned the Legislature and Governor Gavin Newsom to remove the cultivation and excise tax on businesses in the social equity category. The Thursday demonstration drew on the pressure generated by industry executives who called for a reform in California’s cannabis taxation. Cannabis businesses previously told Newsom in a letter that urgent tax cuts and fast growth of retail stores were necessary to stabilize an unsteady market rattled by illegal sellers and cultivators. Over twenty cannabis directors and supporters for legalization signed the letter in response to years of concerns that the taxed industry is unable to contend with the extensive illegal sector, which gives significantly lower price levels and generates double or triple the revenue of the legal sector. Policy For Tax Reform And Social Equity Proposition 64, which voters passed in 2016, was not approved just to generate tax income but to eradicate the illegal market, ensure public health and safety, and establish a responsible industry, the CEOs in the letter. They emphasized that the industry is imploding, and the worldwide leadership and heritage are on the verge of extinction after four years of legalizing sales. “The opportunity to create a robust legal market has been squandered as a result of excessive taxation,” state the CEOs. “75% of cannabis in California is consumed in the illicit market and is untested and unsafe.” Operators and analysts assert that small enterprises have been hampered by the state’s tax structure from the beginning. Cannabis is now taxed at a fixed amount of around $161 per pound in addition to a 15% excise tax and municipal production, manufacturing, distributing, and sale taxes. Newsom, who voted in favor of Proposition 64 as liutenant governor, indicated that assistance might be on the way. When he revealed his proposed budget for 2022-2023, he stated that he favored tax reform for the cannabis industry and intended to work with the Legislature to change policy. Newsom says his objective is to examine tax policy to stabilize the cannabis market. He also added that it is his goal to show municipalities the possibilities for eliminating the underground market and offer assistance for a legal market system. Assemblymember Mia Bonta, an Eastern San Francisco Bay area representative, stated that Thursday’s protest on reforming cannabis policies guarantees social justice, equity, and recognition in an industry dominated by whites for years but has harmed primarily black and latino communities. Crime and Cannabis Businesses In November, several cannabis companies in Bonta’s area were burglarized, resulting in a loss of around $5 million in the days before Thanksgiving. Henry Alston, co-founder, and COO of James Henry SF, an Oakland-based cannabis firm, claimed his store was attacked five times during the robbery. He explained that the robbers took everything, including a safe with the company’s tax money. Casey O’Neill, the owner of Happy Day Farms in Mendocino County, claimed he was a personal witness to the drug war as a generational producer who learned the profession from his parents. Authorities raided their home where the family was growing 30 plants, prompting them to flee. O’Niell says he escaped to the north with his brother and pregnant mother. The day’s trauma, says O’Niell, shaped some of his earliest memories. O’Neill finds connections between California’s highly controlled cannabis business and his past prohibitionist views more than three decades later. He said that high taxes deter small businesses from entering the market and disproportionately affect populations severely afflicted by the war on drugs. By Michael Sands, January 25, 2022

I have met Kate–like most of my writing friends–online. Via blogs and Twitter and Facebook, but the real test of an author is how you like their stories. Hers are great. So if you haven’t met her before, here are Five Things About Kate Noble. 1. Did you have a nickname growing up? I had several. Katie, being the simplest, and longest lasting. Goldilocks and Buckwheat perhaps the more interesting. 2. Do you celebrate when you finish a book and what you do? When the deadline is bearing down on me, and I can see the finish line in the distance, I will go buy a bottle of cheap champagne. Then, whenever I open the fridge, there it is, staring at me, reminding me I should be writing. As soon as I type ‘The End’, whether it be 11AM or 2AM, I’ll pop that baby open and pour myself a glass. 3. If you could go on a date with any superhero, who would you choose and why? Well, I suppose I’m going to have to say the Hulk, simply because my wonderful boyfriend has written a couple of Hulk and She-Hulk comics for Marvel. But, if I wasn’t being a loyal girlfriend, I would likely choose Captain America. There’s just something about a good old-fashioned corn-fed American guy with nice manners and a strong moral center that happens to be a genetically enhanced super soldier, you know? 4. If you were not writing, what job would you have? When I was a kid, I wanted to be a Disney animator. In fact, I studied TV and Film production in college, so I would likely be behind a camera somewhere. Although secretly, I would love to be a pottery-making/world-travelling/soul-singing/polylingual/race car-driving lifestyle guru. Do you know of any job openings in that field? 6. If you were going to an island for a long time, name 5 things you would bring. I’m going to assume this island is populated by a 5 star hotel and resort, yes? (EB: Yeah, sure. It has a resort and electricity, wink) If so, here’s my list: - The Boyfriend. - The Credit Cards. - A significant portion of the TBR pile. - Contact lenses. - My smart phone. Not only is it a GPS for when we get lost, but I have a sad Angry Birds addiction. Everything else I can buy, right? EB: Let’s hope so. Because when the smart phone runs out of power, and the Angry Birds are gone and you can’t listen to Clay Aiken, girlfriend, you’re in trouble. Kate has two stories releasing next Tuesday: the full length novel, If I Fall, available in print and ebook, and a special e-novella, The Dress of the Season.

In Russian, this gesture is called "фига" (pronounced figga). It hardly has any sexual connotation (like showing a middle finger, "the bird") and basically means that the one the gesture is being made at will never get what he wants, hopes or asks for, either from the one making the gesture or from anyone at all. I think verbally, it's close to the English "No way" or "Fat chance", in rather a crude way. What I'd very much like to know is whether this gesture is known/popular in any of the English-speaking countries? What is it called and what does it mean? Is it really offensive or just sort of rude and yokelish if made at, say, not very close an acquaintance?

Huawei, a digital technology company, has launched a smart solar solution product. The new solar solution called Fusionsolar Residential Luna 2.0 was recently launched in Abuja. According to the Vice President of Huawei Digital Power, Sub-Saharan African Region, Nick Lusson, the product is different from other solar products because it is a smart design with a smart guard that has an intelligent energy management, smart metre, and dongle. He noted that the solution had a seamless switchover and photovoltaic optimiser, a 15kWh battery (three modules in all, 5kWh in each module) with energy optimiser and a PV panel status monitor. Lusson noted that Huawei was interested in the safety of the users and had put into the system “highly incorporated safety measures”. The Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications of Oolu Nigeria, Monica Uduku, said “Huawei remains one of the leading ICT companies in the world and they are good at innovative and producing systems that are durable and smart.” All rights reserved.

Pretty sure that this isn’t a fault with my Sonos kit, but hoping others may have had a similar issue and know how to fix it. I have two Echo Dots. One in the lounge and one in my bedroom. The lounge Dot works in conjunction with my Sonos PlayBase, which is paired with 2 Sonos One SLs. In my lounge, if I ask Alexa to play BBC Radio 2, she duly obliges and the music is played via the Sonos speakers. If I do the same thing in my bedroom, where the Dot works with a single Sonos One SL, Alexa plays Radio 2, but from the Dot speaker. What’s more, if I specifically ask her to play it on the bedroom speaker, she refuses. I’ve heard that this may be a licensing issue, but that doesn’t explain why it works as desired in the lounge. I’ve double checked all the settings, and they are the same on both Dots and all the speakers. Moderator edit: Added that “Ones” are in fact “One SLs” Best answer by JoncuthbertView original

The voting on the private blockchain of Cidaro served to elect the student representatives of the high school. The project was born from a study of the blockchain system applied to digital voting and is part of the path taken by the high school that led to the implementation of other digital innovations such as Wi-Fi in classrooms, interactive whiteboards and digital class registers. The experiment involves combining digital technology with paper voting for the election of student representatives, an initiative also born to understand the difficulties of the introduction of new voting systems. The paper and digital votes were then added together in order to obtain a legitimate election of the high school’s representatives. After the experiment, a questionnaire was given out to the students in order to understand their appreciation of the new voting tool and the impact of the innovation, as well as to gather any suggestions for improving the service. The dual objective is to focus students’ attention on a much-debated topic as well as to capture the positive and negative aspects of a blockchain voting system. Cidaro aims to study technology, not so much from the economic point of view, as for the introduction of technological innovation in everyday life and will try to extend its experimentation to the university environment.

Cython (not to be confused with CPython) is a compiler of Python-like source code to the C language, from which it is compiled by a C compiler to binary executable. The objective is a significant speedup compared to interpreting the Python code in CPython, the standard interpreter. Cython is usually used to create extension modules for Python. The source code language compilable by Cython is a near superset of Python. You can install Cython using pip install Cython. However, in order for Cython to work, you will need a working C compiler. On Linux, you usually have one; on Windows, you can install and use Microsoft Visual C++ compiler or MinGW. Beyond the normal Python, Cython-compilable Python source can contain C-like declarations of variable types, leading to speedups of the compiled code. Cython-compilable Python source code files conventionally use extension pyx. The compiled extension module still needs CPython (the normal Python interpreter) to run, and can call other Python modules, including pure Python modules. This is because, where required, Cython compiles to C code that uses the CPython API to achieve general Python-like behavior.

An Argentine lawyer has filed a complaint before Buenos Aires Federal Judge María Romilda Servini de Cubría against British musician Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame for “incitement to racial hatred and apology of crime” when speaking about the ongoing crisis between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas in the Gaza Strip. German police have launched an investigation into Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters after he appeared on stage in Berlin last week wearing a Nazi-style uniform and firing an imitation machine gun. Jewish institutions in Argentina have launched a campaign against British singer Roger Waters, the former Pink Floyd front-man. Waters’ Us +Them tour has been travelling around Latin America for the last month.

Updates on withholding tax and stamp duties (2023). Workshop on withholding tax and stamp duties by Thomas Jaussi and Markus Küpfer on the occasion of the ISIS seminar "Corporate Tax Law 2023" on June 19/20, 2023. Case 1: Collection of withholding tax; accrual of the tax claim and commencement of the obligation to pay interest on arrears S AG (hereinafter also referred to as the Company) has its registered office in Canton B and has a fully paid-in share capital of CHF 200,000 divided into 200 registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 1,000. All registered shares of the company are held by Mr. and Mrs. S, both of whom are listed in the Commercial Register as shareholders of S AG with sole signing authority. The purpose of the company is to trade in agricultural machinery and to offer agricultural services (so-called contracting company). The financial year of S AG corresponds to the calendar year. The company holds its general meeting only after the wheat harvest has been completed, i.e. in mid-August. Mr. and Mrs. S also jointly manage a farm on which, among other things, barley, wheat and corn are cultivated. Based on an audit at S AG, the Swiss Federal Tax Administration (FTA), in a letter dated December 8, 2020, determined monetary benefits totaling CHF 400,000 for the fiscal years 2015 to 2019, resulting in a withholding tax claim of CHF 140,000. At the same time, it interrupted the limitation period for the withholding tax claim against S AG for the 2015 business year. The FTA claimed that S AG had neither claimed nor recorded income that would have been due to it for various activities on the agricultural business of Mr. and Mrs. S (sowing, fertilizing and harvesting). On the basis of documents (e.g. records in the logbooks of tractors of S AG) which S AG had made available to the FTA, it was clear that the corresponding work had actually been carried out. However, it could no longer be determined when exactly the respective services had been performed. S AG initially disputed both the principle that monetary benefits exist in the present case and, if applicable, the amount of such benefits. It was of the opinion that it was entitled without further ado to provide its services free of charge for the benefit of its shareholders. In a decision dated February 26, 2021, the FTA - based on the contestation of S AG - reduced the amount of the monetary benefits vis-à-vis the Company and determined the taxable benefits for the fiscal years 2015 to 2019 as follows: - Business year 2015 CHF 55,000 - Business year 2016 CHF 50,000 - Business year 2017 CHF 70,000 - Business year 2018 CHF 75,000 - Fiscal year 2019 CHF 80,000 The taxable services thus now amounted to a total of CHF 330,000, resulting in a withholding tax claim of CHF 115,500. Since the taxable services (sowing, fertilizing as well as the performance of harvesting work) had in the present case been rendered in the relevant financial years at different times, which in the meantime could no longer be precisely determined, the respective accrual of the tax claim would be determined as of December 31 of the relevant financial year. Based on this, the FTA set the default interest period from January 31 of the following year until the effective payment of the tax debt. S AG does not agree with this decision of the FTA and lodges an objection on March 15, 2021. In its objection, it continues to dispute the basic withholding tax liability and the amount of the pecuniary benefits. In addition, it argues that the interest on arrears on the outstanding tax claims is not due as of January 31 of the respective subsequent year, but rather only as of July 31 of the respective subsequent year, since it could have made the corresponding adjustment entries under commercial law in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Obligations (in particular Art. 699 para. 2 CO) until June 30 of the subsequent year, which means that there would no longer have been any pecuniary benefits. Thus, the tax claims had only arisen at this point in time and had become due thirty days later. - Is a withholding tax due in the present case? - If withholding tax is owed, for what period is interest on this owed? Case 2: Refusal of reimbursement decision Ms. Meintesgut is the sole owner of Machtesgut AG. Ms. Meintesgut was definitively assessed for the 2016 tax periods on June 13, 2018 and for the 2017 tax period on December 13, 2019; the assessments have become final in the absence of a challenge. The cantonal withholding tax office made a final decision on the refund of the withholding tax claimed in the 2016 and 2017 tax returns. Withholding Tax Office issued a final decision for the 2016 tax period on June 20, 2018 and for the 2017 tax period on December 11, 2019. These refund decisions became legally binding in the absence of a challenge. In 2020, a VAT audit of Machtesgut AG will take place with various offsets in calendar years 2016 and 2017. On November 25, 2020, based on the VAT audit, the FTA claims monetary benefits for the years 2016 and 2017 with a tax invoice. This tax invoice is accepted and the withholding tax is paid at the end of December 2020 and passed on to Mrs. Meintesgut. On January 27, 2021, the Trust post-declares the imputed income tax benefits and files for a withholding tax refund. In its decision of March 31, 2022, the competent cantonal tax administration rejects the application for a refund on the grounds that negligence has not been proven. Tax Administration based on Art. 23 para. 2 VStG, because the negligence was not proven. An objection to this will be lodged on April 29, 2022. In its objection decision of October 28, 2022, the competent cantonal tax administration does not accept the objection. The competent cantonal tax administration does not accept the objection on the grounds that Art. 23 para. 2 of the withholding tax law applies on the basis of Art. 70d of the withholding tax law to refund claims that have arisen since January 1, 2014, provided that a legally binding decision has not yet been made on the claim for refund of the withholding tax. Verbatim from the appeal decision: In the case under review, the refund of withholding tax 2016 - 2017 was decided by rulings dated June 20, 2018 and December 11, 2019, respectively. These decisions were already legally binding at the time of the assertion of the additional claim in 2021. Therefore, 23 para. 2 VStG cannot be applied either. According to the BGE 2C_418/2019 of September 12, 2019, the transitional rule also applies if a legally binding refund decision is revoked by the tax authority and a repayment of the refund granted is ordered. However, this is not the case here. Rather, the taxpayers here would like to apply for a higher refund. In this case, however, the retroactive effect does not apply due to the clear wording of the law. Therefore, the objection of April 29, 2022, cannot be accepted. Is this objection decision by the cantonal tax administration correct? tax administration correct and how can it be appealed? Case 3: Self-disclosure in inheritance cases A is the daughter and sole heir of B, who died on October 2, 2021. After accepting the inheritance, A discovered that assets, domestic SMI shares with a value of approximately CHF 3,000,000, and the income therefrom, between approximately CHF 70,000 and CHF 100,000 per year, had not been declared by the decedent. Her legal representative will therefore file a non-punitive voluntary declaration in inheritance cases for the tax periods 2018, 2019 and 2020 in spring 2022, which is why the corresponding assets and income therefrom will be subject to ordinary taxation for the tax periods 2018, 2019 and 2020 in an after-tax procedure. As part of the voluntary disclosure, A's legal representative also requested the refund of the withholding tax deducted on the post-declared investment income as follows: - 2018: CHF 25'000 - 2019: CHF 30'000 - 2020: CHF 30'000 In its refund decision in the fall of 2022, the competent cantonal tax administration rejects the application for a refund. Tax Administration rejects the requested refund because the decedent obviously failed to declare the subsequently declared assets and investment income with at least possible intent and therefore the declaration was not proper within the meaning of Art. 23 VStG. The appeal against this restitution decision is also rejected in December 2022 on the same grounds. Is sole heir A to be granted a refund of the withholding tax deducted on the decedent's post-declared investment income or not? Case 4: Is a subsequent declaration worthwhile? The Wohltat-Stiftung and the Guttut-Stiftung are tax-exempt due to their charitable status based on Art. 56 Bst. g DBG and the corresponding cantonal provisions. provision. They each hold 50 percent of Hilf-immer-AG. This company is also tax-exempt on the basis of Art. 56(g) DBG and the corresponding cantonal provision. This company is also exempt from tax due to its non-profit status. Hilf-immer-AG holds 100 percent of Fleissig-AG. This company carries out operational activities and is subject to ordinary taxation. The Wohltat-Stiftung and the Guttut Stiftung grant a license to the Hilf-immer-AG; the latter in turn grants a sub-license to the Fleissig-AG, which is useful for the operational business. Fleissig-AG pays the agreed license fee and pays a dividend to its shareholder every year. Hilf-immer-AG pays the contractual agreed royalty and passes on the remaining net income as an expense item to its two shareholders. The royalties are in line with the third party comparison and are not objectionable for tax purposes. The structure and power flows are as follows: The balance sheet and income statement of Hilf-immer-AG are as follows, this accounting method having been maintained for over 20 years: How should this situation be assessed for withholding tax purposes? - In the event of an audit by the FTA in 2022? - In the event of a subsequent declaration by the Hilf-immer-AG in 2022?

The leading lights of wunderkind firm Mobisol, a Berlin start-up, left the company to found their own research institute. They still believe that the private sector has a key role in bringing solar power to Africa and the developing world. Paul Hockenos reports There was quite a bit of hype just a handful of years ago when start-ups with names such as Mobisol, Off Grid Electric, M-Kopa, and others appeared to have devised a formula for bringing electricity to Africa’s neediest – namely by selling it to them. But the poorest of Africa’s poor just couldn’t make the small, pay-as-you-go instalments reliably enough and in the volume that the young, indebted companies needed to sustain their pioneering model. Their investors, used to double-digit profits in short timeframes, became impatient and pushy. Restructurings, insolvencies, and bankruptcies brought expectations, and the idealistic start-ups, plummeting back down to earth. The Berlin-based Mobisol was the first to venture into the world of off-grid, rural Africa with basic solar panels, small batteries, and LED light bulbs. Today, after declaring insolvency this spring, two of its chief protagonists, founder Thomas Gottschalk and his years-long business partner Thomas Duveau have opted for another route. Their new brainchild is the Access to Energy Institute (A2EI), a think tank of sorts that in addition to research and analysis also helps develop products and business models that can further their original cause: namely to supply sub-Saharan Africa with affordable, clean energy that it can use to develop – and at long last step out of the poverty trap. “We’re in existence to crack the tough nuts that the private sector won’t take on,” says Duveau, A2EI’s chief strategy officer, who calls the non-profit a collaborative research and development platform. “We’re one hundred percent independent of Mobisol. We’re doing something new, looking into the future. It’s in the spirit of public knowledge. Governments, aid agencies, companies, anyone who wants to can make use of this information.” Duveau, scion of mixed French-German parentage, joined Gottschalk as Mobisol’s head of business development in 2013. Previous to that, from 2008 to 2013, Duveau served as officer for renewable energies at the environmental NGO WWF Germany. And prior to that, he worked on the topic of renewable energies for several private investments banks. While at Mobisol, Duveau says, he saw the need for more public information and data in the energy access field. The fierce competition between the young companies from Germany, Canada, India, and the US precluded any cooperation that might advance the cause. Relevant data was jealously protected. So Duveau left Mobisol last year. He and Gottschalk went to IKEA Foundation, DOEN Foundation, Good Energies Foundation, and the Dutch development bank FMO to secure financing for the non-profit project of an energy access think tank. The nut that the A2EI partners want to crack is not that of the poorest Africans but rather they aim to spur development by getting small African businesses on their feet with the likes of solar generators, solar welding machines, solar agricultural tools, and solar cooling solutions into their hands. The idea is get these tools of trade to Africans as fast as possible, not for the greatest amount of profit possible. Their first subject was Nigeria. Africa’s most populous nation, with 191 million people, it has a glaring energy problem: the national grid is in abysmal shape, the average Nigerian’s power consumption is 3.4% of South Africa’s. Small diesel generators in private hands are there for when the public grid, if there is one, fails its customers, which is very often. A2EI estimates that 22 million such generators exist in Nigeria: an expensive, dirty, unhealthy means to generate energy. Nigerians spend €10 billion a year in government-subsidized gasoline costs for the ersatz power supply. Clean energy, in particular solar power, is an obvious solution. But the cost – about €2,280 for a 1.5 kVA system — is simply too much for the small Nigerian entrepreneur. Even a lay-away model would mean payments too high for the business, and an eight-to-nine-year wait before the cost of the solar system broke even with the cost of that many years of gasoline costs. As it stands now, the average Nigerian businessperson just won’t go for it. “They’re not used to looking that far into the future,” says Duveau. A2EI, however, thinks it has found a path to make it work. It would require some big moves from the Nigerian state: for example the elimination of gasoline subsidies and repurposing them for renewable energy. Also, the state must enforce an existing ban on the bulk import of basic generators (in place for health and safety reasons.) Moreover, the cost of the solar panels could be lowered by the Nigerian state lowering or dropping its tariffs on imported panels. (It could also manufacture their own, suggests the report, without going into this option further.) Lastly, external aid agencies must supply low-interest loans to businesses. Add this up and factor in carbon credits and cost-lowering improvements on the tech side, and the price for the solar system drops to about €911 with a breakeven time of about five years. This, says Duveau, is doable for the Nigerian businessperson. A2EI’s first report concludes that “a strong coalition of partners could reduce the potential price of solar systems to the point required to move the needle in the transition away from gasoline generators.” In other words: the original Mobisol pay-as-you-go model for Africans can work for African small businesses – with a leg-up from Africa’s governments and its international friends. Now those players have to pick up the ball and run with it. They have a substantial to-do list, should they opt to take up A2EI’s recommendations. If it works, Nigeria’s clean energy revolution could be just a beginning for the 600 million Africans without reliable power.

Ethereum anticipates positive breakout as correlation with Bitcoin continues to rise Ethereum 2.0 has so far failed to propel the largest altcoin above $200-mark. However, it achieved a positive momentum and was currently trading in the $190-area close to the monthly high. Ethereum might be ready for a much-needed bullish breakthrough. Ethereum Daily Chart: Ethereum’s price has been on an incline after the fateful day of 12th March. This price action was oscillating within the rising trendlines and formed an ascending channel. The completion of this pattern would potentially lead to a bearish breakout. However, the moving averages had a different story to tell. While the gauge expanded after the bearish crossover, a crucial indicator of a trend reversal was the fact that both the 50 and 100 DMA slid below the ETH price candles on 16th April, depicting the rising bullishness on the daily chart. A bearish breakout was supported by formation of an ascending channel pattern that has taken shape for over a period of more than 45 days. And if this materializes, the coin could slide all the way down to $173, a point that has seen high trading activity, as depicted by VPVR indicator. If this trend persists, the coin could revisit $132-level, another point which saw a substantial trading volume. Not all hope is lost for the second-largest cryptocurrency as a bullish breakout could be right around the corner. This argument was supported by the moving averages hovering below ETH price candles. Further, MACD also aligned with the bulls, signaling a breakout to the positive side. On breaching the $200-level, the coin could climb all the way $228. If the bullish trend continues, the coin could be resisted at $268-level. Ethereum has enjoyed the latest bullish price action by Bitcoin due to its high correlation. On 23rd April, BTC-ETH correlation reached an all-time high of 0.90. This indicated that if Bitcoin manages to hold on to the bullish trend, this would significantly prompt Ethereum to edge with the bulls as well. A bearish breakout appeared to be imminent. In this case, the coin’s target stood at resistance $228, a level that has seen high trading activity. Another target point stood at $268-level. In case of an unlikely scenario of a bearish breakout, the coin’s price could retrace to $173 and $132.

US court filings allege Bank of Ireland used for laundering €273 million crypto scam money US department of justice in a filing with the New York court alleged that Bank of Ireland (BOI) was deceived by a lawyer to launder €273 million proceeds from multi-billion dollar OneCoin cryptocurrency scam. The prosecutors believe a US lawyer Mark S Scott contacted BoI in 2016, where he claimed to be working on behalf of Fenero Funds. According to reports, Mr. Scott claimed that the firm was looking to invest in financial services and telecoms sectors and all the money was sourced from wealthy European families. Mr. Scott allegedly told BOI that they required their service because Fenero wanted to invest in European business with European money. The bank had designated the Fenero account as highly risky as the origins of the firm were from the British Virgin Islands. The bank also informed Mr.Scot that he was required to inform them in advance if there was any change in ownership of funds. As per BOI’s anti-money laundering and KYC regulations, any account holder is obliged to inform the bank if more than 10% of the fund’s ownership changed hands. BoI’s anti-money laundering rules were not followed US prosecutors alleged that the owner of the Fenero account flouted the bank’s anti-money laundering and KYC rules and never disclosed change of ownership. The lawyer deceived the bank into believing that even though it was highly risky, it was also highly lucrative with serious investors behind it. The first red-flag about the Fenero account was raised when a payment from the account was made to another account in the United Arab Emirates. The other bank which was not named in the document contacted BoI regarding the payment, after which the Irish bank asked Mr.Scott to provide more details about the transaction. Mr. Scott allegedly resisted revealing any detail and asked the bank to retract the transaction instead. US prosecutors have asked the BoI to provide evidence in the US court, however, they have rejected the offer claiming that they would provide all necessary help, but from Ireland only. However, BoI did release a statement on the matter and said, “In line with the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty between the US and Ireland, we continue to liaise closely and co-operate with the US authorities in relation to this case. This has included the provision of relevant documentation and facilitation of extensive interviews with former and current Bank of Ireland representatives. The provision of testimony from Ireland is standard procedure in international trials.”

Following the January 2018 release of the Livestock Watering under the Water Sustainability Act (WSA) Intentions Paper, the Province received feedback from Indigenous Governments, Indigenous Organizations, stakeholders, members of the public, environmental non-government organizations and local governments. The September 2019 What We Heard on Livestock Watering document summarized the feedback received. Since then, the Province has continued its work on developing a livestock watering policy under the WSA that better responds to the feedback received and achieves a reasonable balance between the various interests. An Update on Proposed Livestock Watering Policy is now available. Engagement and consultation with organizations that provided feedback on the intentions paper will continue throughout summer and fall 2020. Final policy direction is anticipated in spring 2021. We invite you to share your thoughts about this livestock watering policy update via email to firstname.lastname@example.org by August 15, 2020.

Date of Award Doctor of Philosophy in Adult Development and Aging College of Sciences and Health Professions Cognitive Psychology, Psychology This study provides a better understanding of contributing factors to age differences in human episodic memory. A recurrent finding in recognition memory is that older adults tend to have lower overall accuracy and tend to make fewer false-alarm errors in judging new items, relative miss errors (Coyne, Allen & Wickens, 1986; Danziger, 1980; Poon and Fozard 1980). Two possible causes for decline in these abilities include an age-related decrement in speed of processing (Salthouse 1991) and changes in information processing ability due to entropy (Allen, Kaufman, Smitch, & Propper 1998a; Mallik et al., in preparation). Additionally, age differences may be partially explained by a tendency for older adults to exhibit a conservative response bias. Surprisingly this study found no age-related differences in recognition memory accuracy, and older adults did not show a more conservative response bias. Due to these null results for age, the study examined the role of response bias (propensity to indicate a probe as being recognized, or new) on recognition memory accuracy and the role of the release from proactive interference (PI) across age. This study introduces a new ERP (Event-Related Potential) component to measure the recognition of “miss” responses called “FN400 Below Threshold”. This component, when looked at collapsed across Experiment 1 & Experiment 2 was positively correlated to behavioral accuracy suggesting that a more conservative response criterion hurts overall behavioral accuracy. Experiment 2 found that words learned from four categories were easier to remember than words from a single category due to a reduction in interference across items. This effect was found for both age groups. Jardin, Elliott C., "Recognition Memory Revisited: An Aging and Electrophysiological Investigation" (2018). ETD Archive. 1118.

‘Winter is Coming’! And it wont be as cold as Game of Thrones, but to be safe prepare your vehicle. So our friends at Out and About have some excellent advice for preparing your Caravan, Camper or Motorhome for the coming Winter months. Caravan Winter storage tips from Out and About However modern and well-appointed your caravan is, there will be a part of the year that you probably don’t want to go away in it. Sure – some die-hards will be staying in it even when it’s snowing but for the majority of us, we tuck our caravan up for the winter and come back when spring appears on the horizon, ready for another season of touring and exploring. However, getting your tourer ready for winter – whether it’s on your drive or in storage – is crucial to making sure that once hibernation is over, it’s just a case of recommissioning it and it’s ready to go. This is far better than a potentially extensive – and expensive – repair job that could see you miss some of the summer fun while it’s fixed. Where to store your caravan during the winter Some of us will be lucky enough to have the space to keep the caravan at home; on the drive, in the corner of the garden or some other bit of land. If this is the case, great – you can keep an eye on it, check on it periodically throughout winter and jump on it to get those essential pre-season jobs done whenever you get the time. If you don’t have the space, then you’ll need to find a storage solution. While there may be a friendly farmer nearby who will tuck it in the corner of one of his fields for a few quid a week, many will prefer organised storage alongside numerous other caravans. If you’re looking for a secure storage site, then the Caravan Storage Site Owners Association (CaSSOA) sets out standards for storage facilities, including levels of physical and electronic security and you may well find that you get a discount on your insurance for using one that is a member of the organisation. Caravan chassis care in the Winter storage period There are several things to consider on the chassis when getting ready to lay your caravan up over winter. Firstly, don’t leave the handbrake on when you park it up. This is because it is not uncommon for brakes to seize on in the colder months and the last thing you want is this to happen and you can’t move the caravan come spring and have to have the brakes apart before you can do anything (you should have them checked as part of the annual service). Ideally, you should take the weight off the wheels and tyres to prevent the tyres from deforming and developing flat spots. One scenario is to remove the wheels and tyres and store them stacked up on their side in the dark at their normal inflation pressure, as the ultraviolet rays in sunlight tends to cause more damage than mileage to caravan tyres. You can support the caravan on wheel plates or axle stands under the chassis but before you decide, check on your insurance policy, as it may state you need to store the caravan with a wheel lock fitted. If you can’t remove the wheels for any reason, then a pair of tyre savers could help. These are shaped plastic stands that the tyres sit on and the curved shape helps to even out pressure across a greater area of the tyre, helping to minimise flat spots. You can get your wheel lock on as well. If you are leaving the wheels and tyres on the caravan, then think about covering them somehow – it doesn’t have to be a full, fitted plastic cover but something to keep the sunlight off them will help to prevent degradation. Leave the corner steadies down but give them a good dose of grease before you leave the caravan, so they don’t rust in the colder and wetter months and if you have an underslung spare wheel, whip that out and keep it in the garage or shed if you can. Finally, a quick squirt of light oil into the electrical connectors on the multiplugs will help to keep water out and corrosion away. Our dream scenario – wheels off (insurance permitting), axle jacks under the chassis to take the weight off the ground, wheels and tyres stacked in the garage. Caravan bodywork care in Winter Before you tuck the caravan up, you should give it a good clean to get rid of any debris it has accumulated over the summer that could potentially damage the skin over winter. While you’re at it, give it a good coat of polish or wax, so that whatever winter throws at it, it will be easier to remove come the spring. And anything that helps water to run off can only be a good thing. Some people also swear by covers while others shy away from them completely. They can definitely help protect your bodywork and caravan in general from the worst of the winter weather but conversely, if the wind gets to them, they can, depending on the interior lining material and the fit, scratch the bodywork and windows. They can also potentially hold moisture against the caravan’s body and prevent it from drying once the weather improves. Our dream scenario – a clean caravan in an open-sided barn, protected from the worst of the elements but with plenty of air circulation to keep dry. Care for caravan domestic systems in the winter Very little needs attending to on the gas system – we would normally disconnect the gas cylinder and remove it from the caravan to store in the garage, for safety and security. The water system will need completely draining down, to make sure that there is nothing in any of the pipework that could freeze and potentially damage or split a pipe or fitting. That means the hot and cold water tanks (which should be drained before you move the caravan anyway) as well as the inlet piping. To be on the safe side, you could also leave the taps open to give any leftover water room to expand if it freezes. Remember to make sure external pumps are dry, too, and close grey water vents to prevent insects getting in. The toilet shouldn’t need too much attention – like the water system, make sure the flush tank, pump and pipework are empty and you may want to add a little lubricant to the cassette seal to prevent it from drying out and getting brittle. Electrically, you may want to take the leisure battery out and keep it inside, as the cold will certainly slow the reaction that generates electricity and if it’s not 100%, could kill it over winter. However, if you’re leaving it in the caravan, then some charging will help keep it match fit. A battery conditioner/charger will modulate the charge to keep it healthy while a solar charger will do the same if you’re away from a 240V supply. You could leave it connected to the electric hook-up and let the on-board charger look after the battery but on older caravans, this might just supply a constant charge, which can actually have a detrimental effect. Our dream scenario – we’d whip the battery out and leave a conditioner/charger connected in the garage over winter. Caravan security during the winter We looked in depth at security last month but it should go without saying that whenever and wherever you store your caravan over winter, it should be protected. At the very least, a hitch lock and wheel clamp should be fitted and you could consider corner steady locks and perhaps a standalone tracker for peace of mind. Our dream scenario – Hitch lock, wheel-clamp and stored at a CaSSOA-member site Caravan interior care during the winter Leaving cupboard doors and drawers open can help improve ventilation inside of the carvan and opening the doors to the fridge and freezer and oven and grill can let smells dissipate. Similarly, chocking overhead locker doors open can allow any moisture that builds up to escape but be careful – flimsy wooden doors or supports can deform and not close properly again if they are left too long. If you’re worried about soft furnishings, take them into the house somewhere to prevent them getting damp and a standalone moisture trap or two could also help to remove any water from the atmosphere. Alternatively, stand them up to allow air movement around them. Some people like to fire up their heating from time to time but realistically, this has very little effect unless it’s on all the time and that uses a huge amount of energy. Final tips on caravan winter storage Wherever you’re storing your caravan, it’s worth checking that any vents open to the outdoors are sealed with mesh – the last thing you want is to come back to your caravan and find a family of mice have taken up residence. The trouble they can cause can be huge despite their size… Our dream scenario – it’s almost spring and we’re recommissioning the caravan. See you in a few months!

Three weeks after an earlier project was rejected, London and Rwanda signed a new treaty on Tuesday in Rwanda with the intention of reviving a contentious deal to send migrants who enter the UK illegally back to the East African nation. Rwandan Foreign Minister Vincent Biruta and British Home Secretary James Cleverly signed the updated agreement in the country’s capital, Kigali. Following the British Supreme Court’s decision in mid-November to rule that the project was unlawful in its original form, the British government is making an effort to save this key component of its policy against unlawful immigration. “We have pursued this partnership with the UK because we believe we have a role to play in this illegal immigration crisis”, at a press conference, Vincent Biruta gave assurances when James Cleverly said he had “immense admiration for the Rwandan government, which has received a lot of criticism”. According to a statement from the British Home Office, the new treaty “responds directly to the findings of the Supreme Court and presents a new long-term solution”. The 43-page document guarantees that migrants deported to Rwanda “will not be at risk of being returned to a country where their life or liberty would be threatened,” and it is considered “binding” under international law. In addition, Rwandan government deputy spokesman Alain Mukuralinda emphasised during the press conference that “a joint tribunal with Rwandan and British judges in Kigali to ensure that migrants’ safety is guaranteed and that none of the migrants sent to Rwanda are deported back to their country” is part of the agreement. “And it will also ensure that all migrants’ complaints are listened to”, he said. To “put an end to this merry-go-round,” Rishi Sunak continued, the British government will also present “emergency legislation” in Parliament to designate Rwanda as a safe nation.

New Delhi | In a bid to boost solar power and sustainable progress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday announced that his government is launching the 'PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana' which aims to light up one crore households by providing up to 300 units of free electricity every month. Modi said the project would entail an investment of over Rs 75,000 crore. "In order to further sustainable development and people's wellbeing, we are launching the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana. This project, with an investment of over Rs 75,000 crore, aims to light up 1 crore households by providing up to 300 units of free electricity every month," the prime minister said on X. From substantive subsidies, which will be given directly to people's bank accounts, to heavily concessional bank loans, the central government will ensure that there is no cost burden on the people, he said. All stakeholders will be integrated to a National Online Portal, the prime minister added. Modi said that in order to popularise this scheme at the grassroots, urban local bodies and panchayats shall be incentivised to promote rooftop solar systems in their jurisdictions. "At the same time, the scheme will lead to more income, lesser power bills and employment generation for people," the prime minister said. "Let's boost solar power and sustainable progress. I urge all residential consumers, especially youngsters, to strengthen the PM - Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana by applying at -- https://pmsuryaghar.gov.in," Modi said.

Hundreds of Algerian lawyers demanded the release of their colleague, human rights activist Abderaouf Arslane, who has been in pretrial detention since May 25 on charges of belonging to a banned Islamist movement. Algerian lawyers went on a nationwide boycott of hearings in protest against Arslane’s arrest and detention in Bar Tebessa, 600 km east of Algiers. He has been held for 25 months. The protesters marched around the courts in response to the request of the National Union of Bar Associations (UNOA), which boasts 22,000 members. A number of renowned lawyers joined the protest at the Algiers’ Court of Appeals, most notably members of the Hirak protest movement, Mostefa Bouchachi, and Abdelghani Badi. Dozens of angry attorneys stood silently in their robes at the entrance of the court. Badi told Asharq Al-Awsat that the case against Arslane is a warning to all lawyers and aims to discourage them from defending Hirak activists. The demonstrators demanded Arslane’s immediate release and denounced the political charges against him, stressing that his detention was linked to his political activity. The head of the UNOA, Ahmed Sai, said in a statement that the allegation that Arslane belongs to “a terrorist organization” is baseless. The statement noted that the preliminary investigation mentions probabilities and provides no evidence for the allegation formed by the Tebessa public prosecutor. It “regrets” that the prosecutor “violated the principle of presumption of innocence and investigative secrecy” by holding a press conference accusing Arslane of belonging to a terrorist group. The Public Prosecutor had announced in a press conference that the gendarmes found documents in the lawyer’s office proving his affiliation with the Islamist Rachad Movement, which authorities have blacklisted, along with the Kabylie Independence Movement (MAK) separatist group. He confirmed that the lawyer is being probed for criminal acts, stressing that his arrest is not related to his profession. He said that Arslane hosted several meetings in his office to organize Friday protests and that he had “contacts with suspicious foreign parties.” The lawyers defended Arslane’s “right to political activity,” saying his meetings with Hirak activists in his office do not constitute a “charge.”

China has vowed to deliver 400,000 doses of Sinopharm’s COVID-19 vaccine to Afghanistan, Afghan officials announced on Monday, in a bid to boost an immunization campaign that kicked off last week. “China’s ambassador to Kabul said in a meeting with health officials that his country would provide Afghanistan with 400,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine,” the health ministry’s head of the immunization program, Ghulam Dastagir Nazari, told Reuters. Nazari added that the Sinopharm vaccine produced in China has been approved by the World Health Organization, saying however it is unclear when it will be delivered. So far just over 12,000 health workers have been inoculated in all 34 provinces of Afghanistan, he said. The vaccination of members of the security forces has also started, said another official who spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak to media. Afghan government forces have been facing intensified attacks, blamed on Taliban insurgents, since September, when the 2 sides entered US-brokered peace talks hosted by Qatar. The Taliban has largely denied responsibility for the rash of violence. The militant group has also said it supports the inoculation campaign. India has already sent Afghanistan 500,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine, which enabled the nation to begin its vaccination drive last Tuesday. Afghanistan has registered 55,733 COVID-19 cases and 2,444 deaths. However, experts say infections are significantly under-reported due to low testing and limited access to medical facilities in the war-torn country.

Kras blaze intensifies again, three villages being evacuated Kostanjevica na Krasu, 21 July - After calming down a bit over the night, the wildfire in the Kras region has intensified again, with the firefighters currently battling the blaze in three separated locations. Three villages were evacuated as the area affected by the fire has exceeded 2,000 hectares, as reported by Civil Protection officials. All houses have so far been protected. Civil Protection head Srečko Šestan told the STA that this is the largest fire in history of independent Slovenia. "This is the first estimate", he said, noting that the "fire is nowhere near its end." Giving the firefighters the most trouble is the fire near Klariči, a hamlet below the Kraški Rob fault near the Italian border. More than 1,000 firefighters are battling the blaze, announced the regional Civil Protection headquarters. The Slovenian army has been helping fight the fire for the sixth day today with choppers and the Pilatus transport aircraft. In the five days, about 900,000 litres of water has been dropped to the site, the army says on its web site. They are being assisted by police and three helicopters from abroad - Austria, Slovakia and Croatia. The army has also ensured a medical unit, and prepares 600 meals a day for the firefighters on the ground and provides sleeping capacities for 100 people as well as transport. A 20-tonne army excavator is also used to help in the forest. An army team uses a drone with a thermal vision camera to locate hotspots. Ambulances and first aid teams from the Nova Gorica area are also on high alert, while some 40 employees of the Forest Service are helping the effort by guiding the firefighters and clearing up corridors to help stop the fire from spreading. Civil Protection head Srečko Šestan told the STA that the emergence of new fires had been unpredictable and it was difficult to assess whether they start because of the existing blaze or some other reasons. Defence Minister Marjan Šarec said three army helicopters were still active, along with an army chopper and a plane, and a Croatian helicopter. A Croatian water bomber is reportedly also available again after being forced to retreat due to too dangerous conditions. He said flying in the area was very demanding due to low visibility, so two coordinators are working to prevent collision. The fire is also sparking explosions of unexploded ordnance from the First World War. Darko Zonjič of the national unit for the protection against unexploded ordnance told the STA they stopped counting the explosions. Only the explosions close to roads are being marked, and the sites will be inspected later. "There were quite a few explosions over the night as well, as the temperatures at the fire site are much higher," he said. Every explosive device found outside the fire zone is being eliminated, Zonjič said, noting that so far some 70 grenades had been collected. The largest mine was a 250-millimetre German-made mine, weighing 42 kilogrammes.

VA termite inspections, does your home need one and what are the consequences?. The VA offers great interest rates on loans for men and women who have served in our armed forces. However, many of these loans have difficult requirements that can hold up a loan. The two main requirements that effect pest control are termite inspections and termite treatments for new construction. The first hoop that the VA may require someone to jump through is the VA termite inspection. This inspection is the same as any other inspection with a few glaring differences. The first being that the inspection is not only for homes, but also for condos, regardless as to what floor the condo happens to be on. In fact, just last week we did an inspection for a VA loan that was on the 5th floor of the complex. In CT, if you have termites on the 5th floor there are bigger issues that need to be dealt with. The ramifications of a VA termite inspection After the termite inspection is complete you’ll have to worry about what the results are. The fact is that if during a VA termite inspection termites are found you’ll need to have the home treated. The reason is that the VA doesn’t want to back a home that has termites. This treatment will need to be done prior to the closing. In many cases this treatment while necessary will add to the closing costs which the borrower may or may not be able to afford. New construction is not immune The next issue that may arise with a VA termite inspection and loan is the need for what we call a termite pretreatment. In the pest control industry a pretreatment is a treatment for termites that is done for new construction. There are a few ways to do a termite pretreatment either direct soil treatment during construction or a liquid wood treatment during construction. Many people, especially builders run into trouble with this VA termite inspection and loan requirement. The culprit and what makes CT different is winter. During winter it’s not possible to treat soil as it’s frozen or saturated with water. However, builders don’t count on this and many times the home is built which makes it to late to do a wood treatment. So, VA termite inspections have many requirements and while the program is a great way to reward men and women of our armed services a lot thought needs to go into the process. If you have an experienced pest control company they can guide you through the pest control portion of the process. If you have a VA loan or are considering one, please call Envirocare pest control at 1-888-879-6481. We can help.

OUT OF THIS WORLD! Türkiye, in recent years, demonstrated that it has superiority in electronic-warfare & SIGINT power: Aselsan has been a big part of the success. It is the leading defense industry company of the rising Eastern power. Currently, it ranks number 48 among the global defense behemoths of the top 100. In no time, it should rank in the top ten, if not better, with this incredible progress displayed to date. Türkiye has six more companies in this prestigious list already. Plus, there are more in the pipeline with potential to join the rest as well. Yet, none of this explains Turkish superiority. Syria, Libya, Nagorno-Karabakh, Ethiopia, and Ukraine examples are bewildering. Technologically advanced Turkish military platforms simply redefined war-making. As a result, some questions beg answers. One, how much Aselsan and its cohorts showed to the world so far? Two, what are the exact capabilities of what they showed so far? Three, what does “when the time comes, they will see who has the power” mean? Ismail Demir of TDI stated it more than once. Finally, Hulusi Akar, Defense Minister said: “Greece, militarily, deployed too much, but not enough for Türkiye.” What is he exactly referring to? Aselsan A.Ş., is a Turkish defense corporation headquartered in Ankara, Turkiye. It researches, develops, and manufactures advanced military products for air, land and maritime platforms. Türkiye established Aselsan in 1975, as a by-product of the Turkish “Peace Operation” in Cyprus. That is when Türkiye decided not to trust America anymore and began the path to independence from the Western yoke. President Jimmy Carter was then the 39th president of America. Three year long sanctions against Türkiye, by America and the rest of the Western powers, gave birth to Aselsan. For the first two decades of its life, Aselsan became the joke of the West. Now, it is a monster no one knows what to do about it. It overwhelms and overpowers the best of the best in the world, having long turned the joke on them. Electronic-Warfare & SIGINT: Aselsan Leads The Pact Past twenty years, the Turkish defense industry has been rapidly growing. Newly developed major military platforms are promptly entering into mass productions. They are hi-tech wanders, built for the land, sea, and air forces. Quite many of them have Aselsan fingerprints. Three of them that stand out are the focus of this posting. Türkiye displayed them in active war scenarios or drills for the world to note their might. However, it did not reveal everything about them. They are still largely enigma, called, Koral, TCG Ufuk, and Marlin. The world, for the moment, must ponder what the statements of Demir and Akar entail to figure more about them. The bravado of the Erdoğan regime and the brinkmanship of the Turkish navy across the Blue Homeland, Mavi Vatan, also give some hint. Koral-1 and Koral-2 Koral is the land based electronic-warfare & SIGINT platform. It already evolved into the next generation. The original version, Koral-1, proved its worth in Syria. Since then, reportedly, it is deployed everywhere from Libya to Azerbaijan to Ukraine, as well as across Türkiye. However, no information is available on their actual deployment. They are naturally kept as military secrets. Meanwhile, Türkiye is soon to unveil Koral-2. Would this next edition be additionally deployed on naval platforms small and large, for example? TCG Ufuk, newly built Turkish corvette, is a warship for electronic-warfare & SIGINT. Surely, it is like a “Disney World” for Aselsan and the likes to experiment their toys. The other problem with this warship is that it is hard to locate. It appears like a small fishing boat in vast seas. Reportedly, once Heybeliada, the first of five corvettes built with the same stealth technology with TCG Ufuk, was deep in Greek waters. After two full days of lurking and no Greek visiting, Heybeliada left the “crime scene”. Turks reported the adventure of Heybeliada to the world after the fact. They made reference to a melancholic, but also popular song. Until 1974, it was, for sure, the most liked song among Greek Cypriots as well! In Turkish it is titled: “Bekledim de gelmedin”, meaning “I waited but you did not come”. Aselsan, with Sefine, recently developed Marlin. The unmanned surface vehicle (USV) demonstrated capabilities during NATO exercises REPMUS 22 in Portugal in September. Marlin was the only USV that participated in the exercises. The other USVs were there but were not equipped to operate in rough seas. A much talked about and promoted French USV couldn’t either. On top, Marlin did not only perform as an USV. Aselsan apparently loaded it with micro electronic-warfare & SIGINT toys. Reportedly, Marlin did a lot more than what an USV supposed to do. Like its brethren TB-2 in the air, it delivered beyond expectations. As a result, it marveled military experts, but also, puzzled them as to how advanced the Turkish USV capabilities could already be. Electronic-Warfare & SIGINT: Aselsan Koral-1, Koral-2, TCG Ufuk, and Marlin have Aselsan in common. However, they are not the only ones that incorporate Aselsan into their productions. Ismail Demir, the Head of the Turkish Defense Industries, states that there are some hundreds of projects soon to be revealed. How many of them will contain Aselsan’s wanders like these four already operate will never be known. On that note, some questions about past incidents warrant answers. For example, was it Aselsan that put to test the French frigate or the US F-35 fighter? Joint Aegean Naval Exercise Most recently, in October 2022, Greek and French navies conducted a joint naval exercise in the Aegean. They faced similarly distressing malfunctions. Weeks after the exercises, they are still looking for basic answers. One, was TCG Ufuk ever present in the vicinity during days long exercise? If so, was it responsible for the mishaps in the communications between Greek and French warships? On that note, were Koral-1 or 2 or a Marlin or two on the crime scene as well? If so, what other advanced robotics did Aselsan and the likes experimented for the first time on these unsuspecting navies, rather novices?

If you’re tired of trying to hide those extra bulges around your midsection, or you just want a flatter stomach, consider the benefits of tummy tuck surgery. The tummy tuck continues to be a popular procedure for women who have undergone pregnancy and for those who have gained and then lost a significant amount of weight over their lifetime. The procedure can tighten loose skin, repair the abdominal muscles, and slim down your midsection to create a streamlined appearance. Many patients who are frustrated by not getting the results they want with a healthy diet and diligent fitness program are amazed by the results they achieve with cosmetic surgery! What Can a Tummy Tuck Do for Me? The tummy tuck procedure can be very effective for slimming down and reshaping the midsection. If your abdominal muscles have stretched out, you may always have a protruding stomach — no matter how much weight you lose. An abdominoplasty can reshape and repair stretched muscles so that you maintain a flat and toned midsection. We can combine this procedure with liposuction to remove fat bulges and contour the body. A tummy tuck will also take a few inches off your waistline by eliminating loose and sagging skin. Once the skin has lost its elasticity after weight loss, it does not always bounce back. The procedure involves trimming away loose skin and fat to create a tight and taut appearance. Another benefit of undergoing tummy tuck surgery is that it can reshape your silhouette. If you are genetically predisposed to carrying more weight around your midsection, you can change the shape of your body with a tummy tuck procedure. The body contouring procedure can reshape the upper and lower abdomen to create more attractive abdominal contours. Am I Ready for a Tummy Tuck? If you are not planning on having more children and can take some time off work to recover from this body contouring procedure, you may be a good candidate for tummy tuck surgery. The procedure can be combined with liposuction to help you achieve the best possible results by removing any excess fat as well. If you are bothered by loose skin or a tummy pooch, the tummy tuck in can restore your silhouette. Learn more about this body contouring procedure by scheduling your tummy tuck consultation with Dr. Bachelor today!

Real estate investors have already started planning their post-pandemic strategies in 2022. However, the road is full of uncertainty as of now. There have been lockdowns for two consecutive years and travel restrictions that had an impact on the investment landscape due to the way people are using real estate in the post-pandemic era. Here is a close look at the real estate investment trends in Asia and Asia Pacific Region in general. Major trends to look out for - Investors are looking for safety and are showing preference to invest in liquid and economically stable markets. - Office assets in large metropolitan markets have retained their popularity and are expected to be in great demand in the coming year. - Investors see high potential in the repurposing and appreciation of retail assets. - Environmental, social, governance (ESG) considerations are expected to remain prominent in the coming days. Investment in office spaces The office has been a preferred asset class for several years. However, its popularity dipped recently as the last two years have been the age of remote working or work-from-home policies. However, a number of investors appear to be convinced that there will be limited impact in Asia and are taking contrarian bets. These investors are focusing on good-quality, well-located assets. - Investors are focusing on value-added projects: With the evolving of markets, several existing buildings have started becoming inefficient. Purchasing to innovate is one of the means for arbitraging these efficiencies via altering business usage, upgrading to a higher standard of environment, or use of technology. - Concentrating on services and operations: Commercial estate is looked upon as a prime option for investment in the real estate sector. Lately, yields are compressing while occupiers are asking for more. Even landowners are now more proactive in managing their assets by investing in intensive asset classes like data centers or by offering new facilities for tenants. - Purchasing into the new economy: Businesses are giving their attention to the increasing digitization of the economy. This comprises traditional businesses as well as out-and-out tech businesses, which are digitally based like e-commerce retailing, logistic business, which are in demand from internet-based organizations, or online education. - Investing in decentralization: CBDs or central business districts have been the largest source of wealth traditionally in the real estate sector. At the same time, CBD’s primacy is not secure anymore. Today, secondary business hubs provide cheaper rents. However, a major part of the workforce has been partially working from their homes. On the other hand, many employers have been responding by offering workplaces at a closer distance from where their employees live. - Niche classes of assets improve yields: Investors in the Asian Pacific countries have been investing in niche assets for several years to get higher and more attractive returns. The same trade continues though it is now perceived as a means to follow a demographic change in society. One such example is – retirement living and millennial shopping preferences and networking requirements are highly in demand for cold storage facilities and data centers.

Whether you’re a seasoned skier or are in the process of booking your first ski trip, you’ll probably know that hiring ski equipment can be daunting, or just a bit of a hassle. What level are you? How much do you weigh? How tall are you? However, your ski gear is a very important part of your holiday, and here at ES, we know having the right equipment can make all the difference to your skiing experience. The guys at our partner store in Verbier, Mountain Air, know this, too. Luckily, they have over forty years of experience in the ski hire industry, so they know how to make renting your gear as easy as possible. Here are their top tips on how to hire your ski equipment and how to make the experience hassle-free: Book Directly from a Store When hiring ski equipment, price is not and should not be the be-all-and-end-all. Ski hire is not a commodity like a bag of coffee… It’s what you’re getting for your money that counts. When booking a ski trip, especially for a group, it can be very tempting to just take whatever looks like the biggest discount. But don’t be fooled! With third-party booking sites, you’re likely to get a lot less information and choice about who you’ll be hiring from. They often use the same form for a variety of shops and you may well find that you can’t change ski categories or make free exchanges once you’ve booked. It’s well worth doing some research on your resort and which are the most reputable rental shops. It might not seem like a big deal beforehand, but we’ve seen many a trip ruined because something has gone wrong with equipment and it can’t (or won’t) be replaced. After all, you’re coming here to ski, right? So why settle for second best when it’s such an important part of the experience. At Mountain Air, you can organise your ski hire before you arrive in resort by booking online. Book in advance Booking in advance is the simplest thing you can do to help keep your ski rental experience as hassle-free as possible. Most often this will save you both time and money and likely relieve a great deal of stress too. Most establishments will offer exclusive deals for pre-booking, too, and you can rest assured that you’ll have all the kit you need when you arrive. For example, at Mountain Air, we offer you free consignment storage at the bottom of the lifts if you pre-book, or we will deliver your equipment and fit it at your chalet! This is very important and unfortunately a point most people forget in all the excitement of arriving. Whether you’re hiring ski equipment from a company for the first time or not, be sure to take the time to ask about their equipment, servicing, and terms and conditions. Good questions to ask include: – How often do you service / replace your equipment? – What range / how much equipment do you stock? – What equipment is included in each category? They all have different names which can make it a little confusing. – Can I change my equipment if I don’t like it? – Will you deliver to my accommodation? Is there an additional cost to that? Get fitted properly When hiring ski equipment, getting the right skis and having your boots fitted properly should be one of your highest priorities. Far too often we’ve seen people come into Mountain Air after being let down somewhere else by their equipment, because it wasn’t fitted properly to start with. But getting your equipment right, whether buying or renting, will make all the difference to your trip. The best shops won’t be satisfied until you’re completely happy with your equipment. We think this is so important we replace all standard foot beds with quality orthotic shaped foot beds that will help your feet feel relaxed and offer the best control. At the very least, you should expect your rental shop to: – Measure BOTH your feet, and assess the general shape, size and width of your foot and ankle. – Put your boots on for you – Adjust the straps and buckles, including explaining what they do and how to use them – Check the fit for comfort and be prepared to offer you alternatives. The best general advice we have for finding the right boot-fit is to listen to your toes… If they don’t touch the end of the boot when you put it on for the first time then the boot is too big. And if it’s too long, it will likely be too big everywhere else too. Once your boot has been fitted, the buckles should hold your heel properly in the pocket, bringing your toes back from the front of the boot. Adjusted properly, the grip shouldn’t be too tight either; aim for something akin to a firm handshake. Get it Delivered Although this is not a standard option offered by most ski rental shops, as the premiere delivery service in Verbier, we couldn’t leave it out. Our expert technicians will come to your accommodation to kit you and fit you with whatever equipment you need. We’ll even collect it all at the end of your stay – so you can spend as much time as possible on the mountain. How’s that for hassle-free? Mountain Air is located in Place Blanche, Verbier, where you can also find the European Snowsport meeting point and our Verbier sales desk. At Mountain Air, it’s easy to hire and store your equipment a stone’s throw from the base of the Medran so you’re ready to go for your ski lessons every morning!

The presidential decision to pardon a convict involved in a child molestation case last April caused outrage in the country. Political earthquake in Hungary: President Katalin Novak, close to Viktor Orban, resigned on Saturday after the indignation caused by her decision to pardon a convict involved in a child crime case. Almost at the same time, Judit Varga, another ally of the prime minister, announced her “withdrawal from public life” for giving her endorsement as Minister of Justice – a post she left last summer to lead the European campaign. A scenario that was still unthinkable a few days ago. The controversy was provoked by the pardon granted in April 2023, on the occasion of Pope Francis’ visit to Budapest, to a former deputy director of a children’s home, sentenced in 2022 to more than three years in prison for having covered up the actions of his superior. Since the revelation last week by the investigative site 444 of this decision, anger has been growing in the country. Protesters gathered Friday evening at the opposition’s call in front of the presidential palace, and three of the presidential advisers left their posts. Orban “save your skin” Faced with the scandal, Katalin Novak, who was in Qatar to attend a match between Hungary and Kazakhstan at the World Water Polo Championships, rushed her return to Budapest. As soon as her plane landed, she announced that she was giving up her post, acknowledging during a solemn speech that she had committed “a mistake”. “The pardon granted and the lack of explanations may have raised doubts regarding zero tolerance in matters of pedophilia. But there can be no doubt about this.”underlined the 46-year-old manager, before presenting her “apologies” to those she may have hurt. This former minister of family policy became in March 2022 the first woman to occupy this essentially ceremonial function. “It was quick: first Novak, then Varga. But we know that no important decision can be taken in Hungary without the approval of Viktor Orban.commented on Facebook MEP Anna Donath, of the small liberal Momentum party. “He must take responsibility and explain what happened (…), it’s his system”. The nationalist leader, aware of the potential devastating impact of a scandal touching at the heart of his stated policy of “protection of children”, announced Thursday that he wanted to revise the Constitution in order to exclude the possibility of pardoning child molesters. Without procrastinating, he “skillfully deflected the scandal” and decided to “sacrifice two of his faithful – simple soldiers of the party – to save his skin”summarizes political analyst Richard Szentpeteri Nagy, quoted by the Nepszava newspaper. Viktor Orban has made the fight against child crime one of his hobbyhorses. In 2021, it also adopted a law prohibiting any mention of homosexuality among minors in public, in a merger with pornography and pedophilia denounced by Brussels. Katalin Novak, temporarily replaced by Parliament Speaker Laszlo Kover, was presented last year by Forbes magazine as the most influential woman in public life in Hungary. Originally from the town of Szeged (south), graduated in economics and law, studied at Sciences-Po Paris before training at ENA (the former National School of Administration in France), Ms. Novak speaks French fluently and was made a knight of the Legion of Honor in 2019. Appointed Secretary of State for Family and Youth in 2014, this mother of three obtained her ministerial stripes in 2020. Ms. Novak’s mission was to put an end to the country’s demographic decline through pronatalist policies, declaring that Hungary does not want “neither immigration nor population replacement”. With his departure, the Hungarian political landscape is now very masculine, knowing that since mid-2023 there have been no women in Viktor Orban’s cabinet, made up of 16 men.

The EXOR board of directors’ meeting, chaired by John Elkann, met today in Amsterdam and approved the consolidated results for the first half of 2017. At June 30, 2017 EXOR’s NAV (Net Asset Value) was $17,211 million, an increase of $2,569 million (+17.5%) over $14,642 million at December 31, 2016. SUMMARY OF RESULTS The EXOR Group closed the first half of 2017 with a consolidated profit of €916.3 million; the first half of 2016 ended with a consolidated profit of €430.3 million. The increase of €486 million is attributable to the increase in the share of the profit of investments of €399.9 million, higher net financial income of €81.7 million principally due to the gain on the redemption of The Black Ant Value Fund (€109.1 million), the decrease of non-recurring expenses (€32.4 million) and other net positive changes (€19.3 million), partially offset by lower dividends from investments (€19.7 million) and from the absence of gains on disposal of investments (€27.6 million). At June 30, 2017 the consolidated equity attributable to owners of the parents amounts to €10,814.4 million, with a net decrease of €167.4 million compared to €10,981.8 million at year-end 2016. The decrease derives from translation exchange differences (-€994 million), the reversal to the income statement of the fair value reserve arising from the entire reimbursement of The Black Ant Value Fund (-€109.1 million), the payment of dividends (-€82.1 million), partially offset by the consolidated profit (+€916.3 million) and net change in other reserves (+€101.5 million). The consolidated net financial position of the Holdings System at June 30, 2017 is a negative €3,228.6 million and reflects a positive change of €195.7 million compared to the negative balance of €3,424.3 million at year-end 2016. The positive change is primarily due to sales and redemptions (+€356.2 million, of which €353.5 million related to the entire reimbursement of The Black Ant Value Fund share), dividends received from investment (€92.7 million), partially offset by payment of dividend (-€82.1 million) and other net changes (-€171.1 million). Increase in investment in Welltec During the first months of 2017 EXOR acquired a further 2.47% of Welltec for a total consideration of €10 million. After this operation EXOR holds 16.19% of Welltec’s capital. Reimbursement of the investment in The Black Ant Value Fund In the first half 2017 EXOR received €353.5 million related to the entire reimbursement of The Black Ant Value Fund share; €17.8 million was refunded in January 2017 and the residual amount of €335.7 million in June 2017. The reimbursement resulted in a net total gain of €109.1 million arising from the reversal of the available for sale reserve. The fund, purchased in 2012, had a time frame of five years. Repayment of EXOR non-convertible 2007-2017 bonds On June 12, 2017 EXOR repaid an amount of €440 million related to the residual amount outstanding of EXOR non-convertible bonds 2007-2017 using a combination of available liquid resources and bank debt. Investment in GEDI Gruppo Editoriale S.p.A. On June 29, 2017 the transfer of ITEDI S.p.A. to GEDI became effective. Subsequently, FCA completed the demerger of GEDI into InterimCo BV and liquidated the latter company resulting in the distribution of newly issued GEDI ordinary shares to all FCA shareholders. On July 4, 2017 EXOR received 4.28% of GEDI’s share capital. EXOR also purchased on the market 1.71% of GEDI share capital for a total amount of €6.8 million. Currently EXOR holds in total 5.99% of the share capital of GEDI. OUTLOOK FOR 2017 EXOR N.V. does not prepare budgets or business plans nor does it publish forecast data or data on the basis of which it is possible to calculate forecast data. Certain EXOR Group operating subsidiaries (FCA, CNH Industrial and Ferrari) publish forecast data on their figures. Other EXOR Group operating subsidiaries and associates (PartnerRe, The Economist Group and Juventus Football Club) publish information on the foreseeable outlook. Additional information is provided under “Review of Performance of the operating subsidiaries and associates” in the Report on Operations. The forecast data and information of the aforementioned operating companies are drawn up autonomously and communicated by the relative companies and are not homogeneous. Quantitative forecast disclosures prepared by these operating companies and the type of information provided, as well as the underlying assumptions and calculation methods vary according to the accounting principles applicable to each subsidiary and associate and the conventional application practices in the respective sector of reference. EXOR in fact, is a holding company without a specific business of reference, head of a diversified and non-integrated group that operates in different segments and does not exercise direction and coordination activities over its subsidiaries and associates, which operate in a completely independent manner. EXOR deems that the forecast data and information of the subsidiaries and associates are not significant or suitable for the purposes of providing indications about the prospective economic trend of EXOR’s operations nor represent a forecast or estimate of the company’s results and that therefore in assessing EXOR’s future prospects it is not possible to rely on the data and prospective information published by the aforesaid operating subsidiaries and affiliates. EXOR’s 2017 Half-year Financial Report at June 30, 2017, which will be available at the head office of the company and on the website www.exor.com in the time frame established by law, includes comments on the performance of all the principal subsidiaries and associates.

Converting a garage into additional living space is hugely popular throughout the UK at the moment, with more people valuing extra living space over storage. Most people keep their cars outside, and find that the prices of garage conversions Seddington mean they are one of the cheapest ways to extend a property. Save up to 50% on Seddington extension work this March - Get Free Quotes Today! Adding on a new room can easily be accomplished by converting an existing garage into livable space. Garage conversions Seddington can also be performed on detached units in order to create a guest suite or an area for hosting large gatherings. No matter what your reason for considering a garage conversion is, you'll find reliable help amongst our network of trusted professionals.► Click For Free Seddington Garage Conversion Quotes ◄ Most Seddington garage conversions make sense because the existing structure has already been built. As a result, all that usually needs to be done is to add drywall to the ceilings and walls and then cover the floor with tile or carpet. Some minor modifications may also need to be made to your existing electrical or plumbing lines, and you might also need to modify your ductwork so that this space will be properly heated and cooled. Overall, garage conversions are cost-effective, take relatively little time to complete and can be tailored to suit a variety of purposes. The work can even be performed in stages if you prefer to pay as you go rather than taking out a loan. Typical Seddington garage conversion costs will vary based upon the size of the building, the type of renovation being performed, and the overall condition of its interior. Buildings that were constructed some time ago could need extensive electrical, plumbing, or HVAC upgrades, and this could increase the cost substantially. Garage conversions could also cost more if hazardous material such as asbestos needs to be removed in order to complete a particular project.

If you arenít using your garage to store your vehicle(s), it can be converted into an additional room, theatre, family room, games room, office, gym or storage room. Many people choose to use their garages to extend a room such as a kitchen or dining area. With this in mind, the type of work required will vary greatly. For instance, you may choose to remove the garage door and add a new wall. Luckily, planning permission is almost never required unless you will be expanding the original dimensions of the garage. Q. Will I have to give up my parking space after my Seddington garage conversion? A. Not necessarily. Many people opt to do partial conversions of their garages which can leave enough room for a medium sized car. You may also be able to create a living area above your parking space in order to continue using your garage for its intended purpose.

Hey! I have 2.5 years of experience. I love babysitting kids from newborn to 8 years old. I need to earn some extra cash to help my parents out. I’m 13 years old. I’d say that I’m responsible. I help take care of my 10 year old brother and my 18 month old niece. Browse recent posts After I cut ties with my former employer, I closed out that role on LinkedIn. I'm finding that the interest I received previously especially from recruiters has vanished. Did I mistake and should I have kept that role listed until I found a new position? If so, is there anything I can do in the interim to pickup traffic again to my profile? 0 Likes • 1 Comment This may seem silly but here goes . . I want to go back to college and finish my degree....

I spent all fall legally breaking my company into entities. Recently, my small company divested of one of those entities, and that entity wants me to come work for them. There is nothing against it in the inter-company agreement. I feel a great loyalty to my boss, but don't have much confidence in Senior Leadership and this new offer is infinitely more fun (although along the same lines) as my current job. So, we'd haveto handle the transition carefully so as not to damage relationships. What would you do? Are there any other factors I'm omitting to consider? Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and expertise. 1 Like • 1 Comment I've been invited for a second interview and am so excited!

If you are here are at this review it is probably because you are at least a little bit skeptical about joining The Residual Income Code. Doesn’t it sound a bit too good to be true that you can just copy & paste your way to making $27 to $567 per day? In this review I’ll be giving you the truth about The Residual Income Code and telling you if it really is a system worth joining. There are definitely a lot of things you need to know before joining so let’s get into it! The Residual Income Code Review Product: The Residual Income Code Price: Free System – Lots Of Required Purchases! Is Residual Income Code A Scam? No Is Residual Income Code Recommended? No What Is The Residual Income Code? The Residual Income Code is a sales funnel system brought to you by a man named Jon Moss, and it allows you to promote certain products and earn commissions. Jon claims that you can use his system to easily “copy n’ Paste” you way to making anywhere from $27 to $567 per day online. While there is certainly some truth to the claims made about the system in the video, there is also some other information you need to know. Starting with how the system works. How The Residual Income Code Works The main thing that you need to know about The Residual Income Code is that you will be making money by getting other people to join after you. The Residual Income Code is a sales funnel that requires you to purchase several products throughout the funnel. When you purchase those products, the person who got you to join The Residual Income Code will earn a commission. Once you’ve purchased those products you’ll be able to earn commissions from getting other people to join the funnel and purchase the same products you just bought. How Much Money You’ll Be Paying Even though the system is technically free, you’ll still have to purchase several products in order to make the system work. There are some tools you’ll need to purchase in order to continue through the system, and there are others that will make it a bit easier. Let’s take a minute to go over these expenses. - Engagely ($27) – This is a one time purchase that is required to continue through the sales funnel. It is one of Jon Moss’s products and it contains some head lines and other snippets that will help you catch people attention. - Online Sales Pro ($25 – $37/Month) – Another required purchase that contains lead generation tools and other software. - Aweber ($19/Month) – This company allows you to keep track of and marketing to all of the email addresses you collect at once. It is NOT required to continue with the funnel, but you honestly shouldn’t skip it. Collecting and marketing to email addresses is a huge part of marketing this system. - Easy 1 Up ($25 – $2,000) – This is another required purchase known as a “high ticket offer.” Basically you pay a high price to join the program, so that you can earn a large commission for getting other to join. - Other Expenses ($17 – $97+ Per Month) – These are some other things they’ll want you to sign up for like a link tracking tool called Clickmagick and some other paid traffic platforms as well. The Pros & Cons Now that I’ve gone of how the system works and how much it costs, let’s go over some good and bad things about it. - Possible To Make Money - Not Actually Free - Not Enough Training - Paid Traffic - High Ticket Programs Are Risky - There Are Better Ways To Make Money Online Over the next few sections I’ll be going further into detail about what I mean with the points listed above. Not Enough Training From what I can tell, there is only about 25 minutes worth of training spread out over 6 videos in the members area. That’s simply not enough training for a complete beginner to be able to utilize this system to make all of the money they promise. While the entire system is basically done-for-you, you still have to get a bunch of people to join into for you to make money. Well if you’re a complete beginner you’re probably going to have a whole lot of questions after the training is done. Another regular expense you have to be prepared to make is paying to get traffic to the funnel. Without traffic/visitors there is absolutely no way for you to make any money. The problem with paid traffic is that even with a bunch of training, you’ll have to use a ton of trial and error to succeed at it. The main thing you need to understand is that just because you have traffic doesn’t mean you’ll make good money. Just because you paid for people to visit a funnel doesn’t mean they’re going to sign up and purchase anything. This is where the trial and error comes in trying to get the right people to your offers. Be careful because it’s easy to spend a bunch of money without making any back. High Ticket Programs Are Risky There are several reasons why I don’t recommend signing up for high ticket programs, the first of which is pretty obvious. They are expensive. You could end up spending thousands of dollars for the opportunity to resell it, but what if you don’t get anyone else to join? The second reason it is dangerous is because the FTC has shutdown several of these systems in the past with no warning. MOBE and Digital Altitude were both shutdown this past year causing even their successful members to lose out on money. The Are Better Ways To Make Money Online I know it sounds great to get a completely “done-for-you” system, but it’s honestly not all its cracked up to be. The two main problems with done-for-you systems is that you don’t own the system, so it can be shutdown at anytime killing all of your profits, and you don’t learn how to do it yourself. Believe it or not, setting up your own online money making system is not super difficult, that’s why they let you use their for free. Not to mention there are companies out there who allow you to promote their products without even having to purchase them first. If you’re interested in learning how to set up your own online business, you can click here to learn more! Is The Residual Income Code A Scam? No, I do not consider The Residual Income Code to be a scam. It is possible to make money with the system. With that being said, I still wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending this system to my readers for all of the reasons I listed out above. However, there are simply too many expenses you’ll have to make, without enough training to help you earn that money back. You’ll be making possibly $100+ worth of monthly expenses, and who knows when and if you’ll ever make it out of the red. You can sign up if you want. I’m not saying it’s impossible to make money, I just think that most beginners will struggle to do so. My Top Recommendation For Beginners If you’re new to the online money making world, and you’re looking for a good place to start, I have a suggestion for you. My Top Ranked Program gives you all of the training, tools, and support you need to make money online. It’s completely free to get started and there is only one low monthly fee if you decide to continue. Since joining the system I’ve been able to make enough money online to quit my job and work completely from home! If you’re interested in learning more, you can…

Kendall Jenner has her “freakum dress” on. The “Kardashians” star, 27, stepped out for Lori Harvey’s 26th birthday celebration Friday in West Hollywood, Calif., in a sexy, black, one-shoulder sheer midi dress. While Jenner opted not to wear a bra under the garment, she did have on a pair of black underwear. The model completed the look by wearing a black choker with a red flower attached and a pair of black strappy open-toe heels. Jenner was not the only risqué look of the night, as the birthday girl also had her toned body on display. Harvey, who attended her dinner and party alongside boyfriend Damson Idris, wore an alluring sexy, one-shoulder black dress with a low plunge that exposed her cleavage and back. The gown was fitted to her body to below the knee, where it flared out. Meanwhile, Lizzo opted for a more casual look, rocking a pair of green cargo pants with a matching bralette that was covered in blue shreds. The “About Damn Time” singer, 34, also wore a blue jean belt wrapped around her waist and up across her chest. However, the women weren’t the only ones bringing the style to Harvey’s festivities. Justin Bieber, who attended the party with his wife, Hailey, was spotted leaving the model’s party at Fleur Room Lounge wearing distressed wide-leg jeans, an oversized jacket over a pick T-shirt and a gray beanie. Jenner undoubtedly stole the show with her racy look, which style expert Karla Welch recently told Page Six Style exclusively will be a top fashion trend in 2023. The “Keeping Up with the Kardashian” star’s see-through outfit comes three months after she and NBA star Devin Booker called it quits — for a second time. In November, People reported that the former couple had quietly split a month prior due to their hectic work schedule. “Both have incredibly busy schedules right now with their careers and they’ve decided to make that a priority,” a source told the outlet at the time. Booker, 26, is currently playing as a shooting guard for the Phoenix Suns, which requires him to spend a lot of time on the road for games. Jenner, on the other hand, has many endeavors outside of modeling, such as her Tequila 818 brand and filming for her family’s Hulu show. Despite their split, the former lovers have opted to remain amicable. An insider previously added, “They have a lot of love and respect for each other and wish only the best.”

After nearly 14 years, the Florida state agency responsible for nursing home oversight has lifted the ban on the construction of new nursing homes in the state, according to news sources. Last month, the Agency for Health Care Administration approved the construction of 22 new nursing home facilities and the expansion of 11 existing facilities, creating an additional 2,600 new beds within the state. The moratorium on adding new nursing home beds first came into effect in 2001. It was in response to the state’s growing Medicaid spending. It also was aimed at encouraging the growth of community-based, long-term care facilities. The bill that repealed the moratorium passed last year, thus allowing the Agency for Health Care Administration to move on the new approvals. While some are excited about the new nursing homes because they believe the expansions will help address Florida’s growing elderly population, certain elder-care advocates are concerned that the new facilities will overstretch the state regulatory bodies that inspect nursing homes, thus opening the doors to more potential elder abuse and neglect. These elder-care advocates, such as Brian Lee, the executive director of Families for Better Care, which is a nursing home watchdog organization, note that “The families have to be vigilant. Despite the newness of the buildings, families have to do their homework, understand who owns the nursing home and find out how many staffers will be there.” Mr. Lee’s advice is spot on. While nursing homes are suppose to provide high quality care to some of the most vulnerable members of our community, it is important to remember that nursing homes are a business. And sometimes, unfortunately, corporate greed trumps patient care. The lucrativeness of Florida’s nursing home industry is exemplified by the fact that more than 100 applications were submitted to fulfill the state’s projected 3,100-bed need. The new beds are approved through the State of Florida’s Certificate of Need program, which requires service providers (like hospitals, hospices, and nursing homes) to obtain state approval before they can offer new services or expand upon existing services. Experts expect that, due to the financial value of the approvals, the applicants that were not successful in obtaining approvals will appeal the state’s decisions. Factors That Can Lead To Nursing Home Abuse According to the National Center on Elder Abuse, there is no one single predictor of when or where nursing home abuse will occur. However, they point out that abuse research has uncovered a range of risk factors that, when put together, can put an elderly person or senior in greater jeopardy for abuse. Based on research, the following categories of risk have been identified as major contributors to nursing homes injures and abuse: - Facility risk factors– poor staffing and a lack of a caring corporate culture often creates an environment where elder abuse can happen. Poorly trained aides and other staff are less likely to be able to give quality care, especially to high-need residents, such as those with dementia or other severely incapacitated individuals. - Resident risk factors– some nursing home or long-term care facility residents can be more vulnerable to abuse than others. For example, residents who act out or have behaviors associated with dementia, or those who are highly dependent on care, are at a greater risk for abuse or neglect. - Relationship risk factors- residents who live far from family or who do not have a lot of contact with outside family members or other individuals can be more at risk for abuse. The risk of abuse or neglect also can increase if staff is too over-worked to have time to develop personal relationships with residents or if a resident has had past conflicts with the nursing home staff. Tallahassee Legal Help With Personal Injuries Caused To Seniors And The Elderly The exact extent of the elder abuse problem in the United States is unknown, primarily because so many cases go unreported. However, experts estimate that approximately 10 percent of all nursing home residents may experience abuse or neglect at one time or another. If you believe that a loved one is being mistreated at a nursing home, long-term care facility, or other medical institution, it is important to make a report immediately. In Florida, the Florida Abuse Hotline can be reached at (800) 96-ABUSE. The number is toll-free and available 24/7. The Tallahassee and Southern Georgia personal injury attorneys at Fasig & Brooks are available to help nursing home victims and their family members understand their legal rights and help you obtain the financial compensation they deserve.

A $116 million plan to support the Arkansas healthcare system would include paying some nurses up to $2,000 per month during the coronavirus pandemic. Gov. Asa Hutchinson on Thursday outlined the Medicaid-funded proposal that also provides support for healthcare facility improvements, workforce training, telemedicine, temporary housing and more. The proposal would require approval of a federal Medicaid waiver, which the governor said an application has already been applied for. He said bonus payments of $1,000 a month would be made to non-physician, direct-care workers (primarily nurses) in long-term-care facilities and to workers who provide in-home health care services. For those working in a facility with a diagnosed COVID-19 patient, the payments would be doubled to $2,000 a month. “We’re gonna need these healthcare workers who are at risk and we want to make sure they’re incentivized to be there,” said Hutchinson. The bonuses, he said, would come in weekly payments and last eight weeks with the possibility of 30-day extensions if necessary. The plan includes several other highlights, such as: - Capital improvement payments to hospitals, independent physicians, rural health clinics, and behavioral health agencies for environmental modifications like drive-thru test sites, construction of isolation areas, and other things that are needed specifically during the pandemic. - Financial support for workforce safety and training for providers for whom it’s necessary to continue to provide face-to-face services. Payments will be flexible to meet the priority needs of the healthcare provider, for example, it could be adding extended hours to clinic hours of operation or shifting work hours to accommodate sick visits versus healthy visits. - Workforce training and the expansion of telemedicine and non-emergency transportation to keep patients connected to medical care. - Payments to nursing facilities that care for a disproportionate share of individuals being treated for COVID-19. This could be temporary housing for individuals who are homeless, or any facility in which there’s a high percentage of people being treated for COVID-19. As of Thursday afternoon, there were 335 positive coronavirus cases in Arkansas, up from 280 on Wednesday. Of those cases, 14 are children, 108 are over age 65, and 213 are between the ages of 19 and 64. There were 41 patients reported as hospitalized across the state, up from 12 on Wednesday. It’s a significant increase, but that is due in part to new reporting methods put in place, said Dr. Nate Smith, the state’s secretary of health. Thirteen patients were on ventilators, 11 had recovered, and a third person had died as of Thursday, said Smith.

Alert/Push for new Songs from Artists In Spotify you cant get alerts if a new song was released. It would be great to enable that. So if artist A has released a new album or song I get a push alert on my phone. Or if some artist releases an new track of genre "Rock", than send me an push alert. I think that would be a nice functionality. And maybe more users use the app because spotify cant do that at the moment. (If i'm right 😬) marked this post as

Ah, the dreaded spam comments … we all know them well. Now, for the most part, my spam filter catches all these bad boys so that I never even have to set eyes on them. But the other day one slipped through the cracks and reading it just made me … laugh! It reminded me of the fun I had featuring spam on my blog once when I was a newbie blogger. (I called the post Spam-a-Lot – click on the link for even more fun spam!). So, I decided to take a peek into the abyss of the Spam folder to find a few gems and imagine … what if I was really going to reply to these random crazy comments? Take a look at what I might say. (The first one is the message that made it through my spam filter.) Do you ever read your spam? Does it make you laugh? Remember any crazy spam comments? I want to know!

[Ferro-Alloys.com] Mr. Karl Liu, the president of Ferro-Alloys.com and Sino-Minemet International Supply Chain (Tianjin) visited Ulanqab Ferroalloys Industry Association and the main ferroalloys plants from 17 Oct to 20 Oct in 2023. For the status of ferroalloys development and market performance views as follows: - The status of Ulanqab Ferroalloys Industry The main ferroalloys plants main located in Fengzhen city, Chahar Southwest county, Huade county, Chahar West Middle county, Xinghe county, Zhuozi county and Shangdu county industry zone. There are 63 plants operated 207 SAF to produce ferrochrome, siliconmanganese, ferromanganese, ferrosilicon and siliconchrome and other ferroalloys, the SAF include 97 sets 25000KVA-30000KVA, 64 sets 30000KVA and above and 46 sets noble alloy furnaces, which the plants are linw with the industry policy, environment protection and green development, and the total ferroalloy capacity is 11.58 million tons and the production was 7.85 million tons in 2022, which accounted for about 69% of the Inner Mongolia ferroalloys production share, accounted for about 23% of Chinese ferroalloys production share. The manganese ore and chrome ore imported are about 16 million tons per annum now. - High advantage and strong competitive in Ulanqab Relying on the location and low logistics cost (The distance from Tinajin port to Ferroalloy Industry Zone was about 300KM -500KM). Green energy and self-electric power account for about 26% in the ferroalloy production cost share (Green energy account for about 20% ), the power cost has the advantage than the other district, and the ferroalloy plants located in the industry zone which is convenient to develop the recycling economy and centralized management. Inner Mongolia especial Ulanqab city has the potential to expand the wind and solar energy and the if developed the new energy and clean energy investment, the green energy would be accounted for about 60% for the cost share in the future and then it will reduce the ferroalloy smelting cost, so it will improve the ferroalloys development capacity. If the ferroalloy industry zones or part of them implement the platform and intelligence management, it is convenient for the business of bonded logistics, centralized procurement and ferroalloy spots warehouse supply chain finance. In conclusion, it will develop the ferroalloy industry healthy when forwarded the green energy to the production, innovative the transition models and improve the supply chain efficiency. - Forwarding the technology upgrade and improving the competitive From July 2021, Ulanqab has comprehensively implemented the technical transformation and upgrading for the ferroalloy industry, Which it come true for the high-quality development and the ferroalloy industry go into a standardized, high-level, green production, low-carbon, and intelligent manner. In recent two years, all SAF below 25000 KVA have been dismantled and withdrawn, the siliconmanganese, ferrochrome and other alloy furnaces are sealed, and special alloy furnaces are also sealed if possible. Ferroalloy plants have also actively promoted the comprehensive utilization of waste residue and launched a new batch of projects such as producing rock wool from waste residue and the remaining gas after sealing is used for power generation and methanol production, which has improved the efficiency significantly. Ulanqab has become the largest area, the highest level equipment, and the highest level of energy efficiency in China. - Raw material market down trend, ferroalloys market operated stability and healthy The ferroalloy plants have a stable operation normally and the ferroalloys market kept stability and the supply and demand kept related balance compared to last year, manganese ore spot market price down slightly and kept stability and the other raw materials price has a down trend. The cost of funds has decreased and the financing environment has improved in 2023, siliconmanganese production cost down slightly but stability, the rate of ferrochrome production improved and the demand of chrome ore kept stability and the demand of ferrochrome improved slightly compared to last year, the ferroalloy plants almost kept full and healthy production.

Ellp empowers you to set your own rules and easily automate a vast number of day-to-day device tasks. Ellp is founded on the ‘if-this-then-that’ concept, which is applied mainly to connected apps. It uses simple logic to run automation tasks that are specifically carried out on your array of devices. Ellp can be configured to run tasks such as automatically saving your tagged Facebook photos to a preferred folder, or notifying you when you download the same file multiple times. It can even be configured to open up YouTube each time you plug in your headphones! With Ellp the possibilities are (nearly) endless. Ellp uses a card system to run and automate tasks. Cards are simple rules that govern a device’s behavior. For example, a card may say ‘at dawn, mute the sound.’ This allows you to specify a particular time which your device is scheduled to switch off its speakers. Cards can be set for a number of automation tasks, such as opening a website when you turn on your computer, or open a specific music player or website each time you plug in your headphones, etc. The card layouts make it simple to identify its task at-a-glance. Cards are sorted into categories, which cover general subjects such as power use, storage, performance, and security. Setting up cards is straightforward and as soon as you have configured your cards in each category, you are all set.

It is a new take on the device management/automation concept, which it pulls off rather well. Ellp is lightweight, consumes hardly any system resources, and it has a number of categories, which can be configured just the way your like things done, therefore saving you minutes, if not hours, of time.

Around five years ago, Netflix spent a reported $55m on Conquest, a sci-fi TV series that was never finished – and may never be released at all… After years of huge expenditure, and deals with some of the world’s best-known actors and filmmakers, streaming giants like Netflix and Disney+ have reversed course and started to reduce costs. And as subscription prices are jacked up, shows are cancelled or quietly removed from platforms, few stories sum up the late 2010s era of peak streaming than the one just broken by The New York Times. It reports that, in 2018, Netflix signed a deal with filmmaker Carl Erik Rinsch to make an ambitious-sounding sci-fi series, initially called White Horse and later retitled Conquest. Set in a near future in which humans war with artificial beings called the Organic Intelligent, the series was snapped up by the streaming giant in a deal worth millions. Unusually, Rinsch – despite only having the solitary feature film 47 Ronin to his name, which flopped – was given final cut. Filming got under way on the planned 13-episode series in 2019, only for Rinsch to display allegedly erratic behaviour on set. By the time the pandemic swept the globe the following year, Conquest had reportedly missed a number of its agreed milestones. The production soured to such an extent that, by 2021, Netflix reportedly emailed Rinsch to tell him that funding for the series was going to be pulled. The strange saga also takes in coronavirus conspiracy theories, Rolls-Royces, and multi-million dollar investments in crypto currency. It is, in short, the most late 2010s/early 2020s story you’ll read this week. It’s genuinely quite jaw-dropping. As for Conquest, legal proceedings are ongoing, with Rinsch insisting that Netflix still owes him $14m, while the streaming giant is refusing to budge. Rinsch could theoretically sell Conquest elsewhere, but with firms tightening their belts and Netflix stating that its expenditure to date would have to be paid up as part of any deal, it seems vanishingly unlikely that the series will appear on a small screen near you anytime soon.

David Tennant’s latest time in the TARDIS comes to an end with The Giggle, co-starring Neil Patrick Harris. Here’s our review. Spoilers lie ahead. Honestly, tons of them. “You talk about no one, ever. You just keep charging on” Well, that was mad. Who knew when we all settled down to watch the latest Doctor Who that we were getting The Two Doctors Reboot, nice and early? We basically got a 40 minute episode then a 20 minute episode here, bringing the 60th birthday trilogy to a close, and setting up, well, seemingly everything. The Giggle, then, is a fairly traditional episode of Doctor Who on the surface. A foe from the past, a fancy corridor to run down, the world under threat. That sort of thing. What’s more, it’s an episode that wasted no time at all bringing The Celestial Toymaker back from the 1960s, now not in the guise of Michael Gough, but looking incredibly like Neil Patrick Harris instead. Harris with a German accent no less, behind the counter of a 1926 Soho store when we first meet him. He’s dancing to the Spice Girls by the time we watch him drop a ball, and that gives an indication as to just how fast and furious The Giggle would turn out to be. After the opening credits, we’re in London, and all is not well. Lots of smoke, looting, cars rampaging on pavements. On the surface, a little bit of a horror movie, with a creepy ventriloquist’s dummy mixing in a bit of the 1940s movie Dead Of Night with a dose of Saw. There was a threatened subplot setup about John Logie Baird, the invention of television, and the seeding of something that’s been subtly threatening the human race since the invention of said telly. But once Russell T Davies had made his point, it was pretty quickly shelved. It’s an idea that at any other time could have happily been explored in a full episode. Here, it was needed to the point that it wasn’t. And when it wasn’t, it was gone. The point that Davies was making? Well, you could call it subtext, but it was so close to the surface of what was going on we may as well call it text. The unbeatable enemy here wasn’t The Toymaker, it was humans. Worse: the brand of humans who think they’re always right. Facebook comments boards in walking, talking form. Even UNIT doesn’t know what to do about them. As Davies points out, they shout, they cancel. They’re even offered Zeedex, a vaccine against trouble of sorts, and they criticise it. It would be fair to say that The Giggle is not Russell T Davies at his most subtle, but clearly deliberately so. He’s got something to say, and boy, does his script say it. Yet as soon as he’s done with that, the television and the doll are shuttled off, as there’s much else to get through. It would, after all, be fair to say that The Giggle had a hell of a lot going on, and much was splashed on the screen. If last week’s Wild Blue Yonder was the slightly more contained of the three episodes we’ve just had (and my favourite), perhaps saving a few of Disney’s dollars by sticking mainly to a single location with a small cast, here Davies is emptying the piggy bank in ten minutes flat. Again, it’s not special effects per se (although they were not skimped on – witness the folding up shop): it’s scale. A busy London street looks really busy. Chaos looks like chaos The helicopter flying over London actually looks like a helicopter flying over London. And that’s before we get to the new UNIT headquarters. The first clues were the branded armour on the UNIT troops. Then, off we pop to a tower that looks like it’s been bought off Tony Stark, and not at a discount. I think most of us are expecting, thanks to the Whoniverse logo that now precedes episodes of Doctor Who, that we’re going to be getting spin-offs in due course. The scale of the UNIT set and the sheen of its new tower means my money’s on that being one spin-off right there. Especially as it offers a welcome pension scheme for erstwhile Doctor Who companions. There’s a job offer for Donna Noble for a start. It turns out there’s a second spin-off that’s also set up: David Tennant’s 14th Doctor is still in play, and we’ve now got two TARDISes. Will that be explored as a possible option? Who knows, but I’d not bet against seeing Tennant again in the show. Let’s go though to what was set up as the meat of the episode: the face-off between Neil Patrick Harris’ much-hyped The Toymaker, and Tennant’s Doctor. All with Donna Noble involved too. A rematch, now in our universe, nearly 60 years in the making. It’s The Toymaker up against a doubtful Doctor too, one questioning his effectiveness. “Take away the toys, what am I?”, he questions, giving the Time Lord the kind of gravitas and weight that Tennant has always excelled at. At one stage almost a failing Doctor too, one with his confidence stripped away. Is this the continued weight of the Flux on his shoulders here? It – along with Trial Of A Time Lord – certainly gets another reference here. At one stage, a puppet show even. Heck, the puppet version of the Doctor’s history: we’re up to spin-off number three. Would watch. Interesting fella then, The Toymaker. He reminded me of when Russell T Davies re-introduced The Master all the way back in 2007. John Simm’s take on that particular foe was played big, a rampaging, loud, scene-demanding antagonist, not shy of a pop song. Certainly a marked difference from how we’d seen The Master before. Neil Patrick Harris – at his most creepy in a suit in the background, staring at the camera – is more than up to what’s asked of him here, and it’s a not dissimilar approach. The words ‘quiet’ and ‘subtle’ were not part of the pitch. It’s a whole lot of fun though, if not always a settled and particularly interesting take on the character. When he appears from the sky as a puppeteer, I confess, I wasn’t unnerved. When he was silent, staring in the background, I was. A doll reciting poetry while walking slowly past a clock in the wall? Yep, that was creepier. A dance with Jemma Redgrave – welcome back! – to the Spice Girls? Again, less so. The smaller the ask, the more unnerving The Toymaker became. But then, after all the build-up, not actually much time. It was lovely to see Bonnie Langford’s Melanie Bush again – quieter than usual – but again, not much time with her. Perhaps we’ll meet her again. Hope so. The first 40 minutes then, the episode that we though we were getting, was perfectly decent, entertaining, breezy, and occasionally very funny (Donna knowing exactly when to run). Credit to director Chanya Button for keeping up with it all. The last 20 minutes? Well, where do you start. Doctor Who has always changed, always evolved, and rightly so. Right before our eyes tonight, it was rewriting its rule book again, and there was much to take it. It was, in two words, a lot. We’ve had a premature David Tennant regeneration before, but when he started getting the glow some 15 minutes from the end of The Giggle, I confess I was expecting a more traditional handover, albeit with Davies giving us an unexpected 15 minutes to get to know, well, the 15th Doctor. What we got was something new: bi-regeneration. That, plus a TARDIS with a jukebox. A Doctor parading around in his pants. Fourteen and 15 hugging it out. And an actual happy ending for a Doctor. Bet the BBC gets letters about some of that, too. Probably from the same lot that wrote in last time. Things just kept on coming. This was full-on blockbuster television, and a very clear sign of where things are heading. Just one of those things we got in the last act would have been new: in Davies’ latest generation of Who, we got the whole lot in a quarter of an episode. You ain’t going to get much slowdown in a Saturday night slot either. I should note that a few things have been seeded here alongside the pair of Doctors and their respective vehicles. The Master’s clearly back in play, and not just because of the namecheck of the Archangel network. The picking up of the tooth at the end (yep) had a ring of the last reel of 1980’s Flash Gordon about it. We know The Master’s in there: but who picked the tooth up? Someone at UNIT presumably. For now, they’re not telling. There’s more too. Who are the “legions” that the Toymaker talks of? Again, there’s clearly more threat coming, because he was incredibly easily defeated here after being told how deadly he was. It made the regular batterings of the Daleks look difficult. But also, we’re told of The One Who Waits. Who’s that? Whoever or whatever it is, it’s clearly Ncuti Gatwa’s problem. And it sure looks, from the glimpse that we’ve had, that Gatwa is going to have a lot of fun trying to solve it. He may even need to invest in a pair of trousers. Even writing this all down though, what I got from all of this, as much as Russell T Davies was repainting and rewiring the show, was a deep love of it from him. The time taken to pay tribute to Sarah-Jane. The mention of Adric. That aforementioned puppet show. Even protecting moles from Wilf. All of this is the woven fabric of the show, and it’s very, very clear that Davies is building on it, not disposing of it. I love that. Here, he’s used a trilogy to give fans new and old something. The old farts like me are far more Wild Blue Yonder, I’d imagine, but I had fun with The Giggle, even if I wanted more of The Giggle in it. The last 20 minutes took me very much by surprise, and for a show that’s entering its seventh decade (!), how impressive is that? It’s been a fun trilogy of episodes, this. And what we got here was the culmination of an ambitious, top-to-bottom reintroduction of the show that’s already got a fresh run of episodes waiting for us, beginning with the festive special. This, then, is Doctor Who. And this is now the future of the show. It ain’t going to be everyone. But all signs are, it’s going to be quite a ride. Roll on Christmas…— Thank you for visiting!
