Sure, but they are a small company. That means each person gets a fraction of $700. Each person gets even less than $700 you understand? You could have "maked" Burnin Rubber 3? Adobe Director cost already around $800 or more plus you need 3ds Max which also costs hundreds of dollars. Also, they need computers to make the game which cost thousands of dollars. I think they don't really make much money. If you think they are too expensive, like I said, you try making Burnin Rubber 4 yourself and you can have it free.
Viewing post in Burnin' Rubber 4 comments
I already said, XForm ALREADY has 3DS Max, Adboe Director, computers, people. This is part 4, part 3 was already on Director and had alot of same models. Get my point?
But actually my point is:Why are they still making remasters/remakes of old games? Burnin' Rubber 3,4,5HD and other. They should already have enough money to make a new game, not a remaster.
Why? It is because we still like the older games and want to play them again. Xform is doing this for us unlike pretty much all other shockwave director game companies who just forget their games and leave them lost forever.
You didn't got my point. They already did alot of remakes and remasters, but when will they do a ACTUAL game again? They already have money, they are done with remakes (except burnin rubber 4, it's filled with bugs.), they can actually make a new game. Not a remake. I hope they will.
Well, this became a lot of text. I just tried to explain my point of view (not facts) as comprehensible as possible. Here's the short version:
A company has to pay for many things.
If we had a teen coding prodigy that lived at his parent's house with powerful hard- and software and a budget of 700$, then that would be a completely different thing, so I can see where your point of view comes from.
But the 'company' part is one example for why that would not be much, since a company doesn't just have money lying around, they earn it themselves. Xform produces videogames, therefore they earn money by selling games.
If you now consider at least payment for the people that work at xform, rent for an office (I assume they don't work at home) and possible maintenance or upgrade costs for PCs and workplace those 700$ unfortunately are far from lasting you even one month of work. Plus there is always some costs that you cannot expect in advance. Payments like those are not a one-time purchase, but rather a monthly investment to keep your business from bankruptcy. For a buisness, espacially a small one, the term "enough money" doesn't really exist.
I assume that BR3 and 4 were only able to be free in the first place because of advertisement revenue by the websites thatpublished the games. Seriously, 5$ is not exactly much and personally I don't have trouble justifying the price.
Also the re-releases (not reMAKES, that is a huge difference (exept BR5, which is a remake)) were a 'side project' for the fans that were asking, and it would surprise me if xform hadn't started already on collecting ideas and started designing their next main release title, so don't really worry about that.
To coolkopf
You STILL don't understand my point.
They already have a office, they already earned ALOT of money to make a new game, and not remake/rerelease/update a random game they made. And as you can see, i've never seen anything from this company except Super Man or Monster and some remakes/rereleases of mysterious games. And my point is:When will they make a new GAME? When will they finally stop remaking/rereleasing?

Custom B2B expert panels recently emerged as an alternative data source to traditional enterprise market research. Unlike off-the-shelf market reports from companies such as Nielsen, Gartner or Markets & Markets, B2B panels and B2B surveys take a custom approach to data and expertise by targeting respondents and honing in on custom qualitative and quantitative insights. This new approach to enterprise market research is particularly useful for B2B leaders and executives who want specific insights on their product, competitors, the market, and emerging technologies. In the vast majority of cases, the data that is relevant to executives is so specific that it cannot be covered in depth in off the shelf reports.
Typically, when enterprise founders and executives want insights into the voice of the customer, the competitive landscape, to perform due diligence, or to gather data on a particular market, they turn to one-size-fits-all comprehensive downloadable reports from market research firms like Markets & Markets, Gartner, or Nielsen. These off-the-shelf reports give in-depth data on numerous industries, but because they are pre-packaged and broad, they can be insufficient to answer precise questions or needs. In fact, a NewtonX client in the SaaS space recently stated that when he would buy a traditional market report, typically only 10-15% of it would be relevant to his company and the precise questions he needed answered.
How Customized B2B Surveys Are Disrupting Market Research
Most B2B executives need market research that is tailored to their products, industry, and competitors. Sometimes, these needs align well with traditional market research reports. But more often than not, these reports only contain small slices of the overall information that the executive is seeking, or worse, none at all. This means that purchasing a report is always somewhat of a gamble: all executives have to go by is a table of contents, and there's no way to request further information after reading the report.
The three key problems with off-the-shelf market reports can be summarized as: – A wealth of information, but not tailored or specific to client needs
– Often little-to-no information on sub products, sub customer segments, sub-geographies etc.
– No ability to double-click on the data; if something doesn't make sense or you want elaboration you cannot dive deeper into the information.
B2B Surveys address each of these problems, and still provide the same depth and scale of research that traditional market research reports do.
Tailored, Niche, Flexible B2B Expert Panels Are Poised To Address These Pain Points
B2B panels are comprised of experts in the industry that executives need insights into. The people who make up the panel are chosen because of their experience, title, tenure, previous companies worked at, and industry expertise. Because each panel is formed on an ad hoc basis, the panel members and the data and insights sourced from the panel are always relevant to the client's needs.
B2B Surveys provide three key benefits that traditional market research does not:
– Insights directly from the people that executives wants to hear from
– Both qualitative and quantitative data (competitor pricing and opinions on competitor products, for instance)
– Ability to deep dive into numbers and insights — executives can source data and opinions directly from the person who provided them, and ask for follow up consultations.
Access the Best B2B Minds
Accessing decision makers, C-levels, business owners, academics, and senior analysts en masse was, until recently, very difficult. Now, however, products like NewtonX enable clients to access full panels of experts tailored to the clients' precise request. Executives can learn about competitor products, gauge customer sentiment, conduct due diligence, and gain insights into extremely niche knowledge about technology and services — from the people who know the most about each of these topics for the industry at hand. Now, instead of using 10% of an off-the-shelf report, business leaders can get customized information and data that precisely addresses 100% of their needs.

Taiso Yoshitoshi (1839 - 1892) Ushiwaka Maru (Yoshitsune) learns Martial Arts From Sojobo, King of the Tengu, 1880. Oban triptych.
Click here for a detailed enlargement.
In August 2013 we looked at the influence of Kuniyoshi on his pupil, the great genius of the late nineteenth century, Yoshitoshi. The show included this intriguing triptych that seems to be a compendium of other artist's treatment of the same subject. A masterpiece of Japanese art and a triumph of technical woodblock printing, the print features in the collections of every major art museum across the world.
This magnificent triptych depicts the mysterious King of the Tengu, Sojobo (literally, High Priest), teaching the legendary Japanese warrior Minamoto no Yoshitsune the art of fighting. The Kuniyoshi oban of the same subject acts as a model for the figure of Yoshitsune and the pine forest setting. Yoshitsune, who was known as Ushiwaka-Maru as a boy, was the youngest son of Minamoto Yoshitomo, killed by order of the leader of the Taira-clan. Ushiwaka was arrested together with his mother and two brothers, and given over to a monastery. When he became aware of his family history he vowed revenge on the Taira. During his outings in the forest, he met with an old man, red faced and with an unusually long nose. This was the powerful Sojobo, King of the Tengu. Tengu are legendary demons of the forest, skilled at fighting and with long bird like faces. Sojobu, recognising the skill of the boy, taught him how to fight like a Tengu. Yoshitsune is often pictured as a young man fighting the monk Benkei on Gojo Bridge - flying through the air in the manner of a Tengu.
The subject had been tackled before by Kunisada in a print that bears many similarities in overall design and composition. Yoshitoshi attempted an almost identical composition in the 1860's but this enigmatic print is by far the most successful of the subject and the most original. It is a fine piece, in the mature style that Yoshitoshi came to adopt in the 1880's. Sojobo sits in the right hand panel observing Yoshitsune fighting off several flying tengu whilst others watch from behind the trees in the centre panel. One of Yoshitoshi's best triptychs, the image is very famous although actual copies are hard to come by.
Three separate sheets, colour, condition and impression are all very fine.

PITTSBURGH (PRWEB) November 14, 2017
PITTSBURGH…When temperatures soar, there's always a danger of heat-related injuries or deaths. Fortunately, an inventor from Chicago, Ill., has thought of a way to protect people against such overexposure.
He developed COOL HEAD to keeps the wearer cool and reduces perspiration. As such, it has the potential to prevent heat stroke and exhaustion in hot weather and promote overall good health. At the same time, it improves performance for participants of extreme sports like marathon racing. Besides that, this novel invention is safe, fashionable and comfortable. Other appealing features are its light weight, compact size, portability and ease of use. In addition, it is convenient, effective and affordably priced.
The inventor's personal and work experience inspired the idea. "I love spending time outdoors, especially in the warm weather and realized this invention would make that time more enjoyable," he said. "It's also job related since while working in a hospital, I've seen patients who suffer from heat stroke because they had no head protection."
The original design was submitted to the Chicago office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 16-CHA-110, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

Multiple seeds form many ways.
1. In multiple fruits like pineapples, several flowers come together to form a single fruit. Thus, there are multiple seeds because multiple flowers are involved.
2. In berries, you typically have several carpels per flower, each of which might have several ovules.
3. In drupes, you have several carpels, each of which has only one ovule.
4. In pomes, you have only one carpel but multiple ovules per carpel.Tags: Biology

Ellenzweig Project Achieves WELL Gold Certification
Project Sagamore, completed for EMD Serono in Billerica, Massachusetts, has been awarded Gold Level WELL Certification for "New and Existing Buildings" from the International Well Building Institute (IWBI). The new building is the first project in the United States and the second in the world to achieve Gold certification in the "New and Existing Buildings" category. Project Sagamore is only the third project in this category to be certified in the U.S. at any level.
WELL Certification is based on building performance and requires a passing score for each of the seven categories of the WELL Building Standard: Air, Water, Nourishment, Light, Fitness, Comfort, and Mind. A WELL-certified building improves the health and well-being of its occupants through nutrition, fitness, mood, sleep patterns, and performance.
An addition that more than doubles the size of an existing building, the project is the latest expansion of EMD's research and development campus, designed by Ellenzweig over the course of 19 years. The new Sagamore facilities include an open lobby, interaction area and café, outdoor patios, fitness center, four workstation neighborhoods with adjacent quiet rooms, meeting and collaboration spaces, and an auditorium. The building features an open design that allows for choice and flexibility in where and how employees work. Employee engagement strategies focused on four C's: choice, comfort, collaboration, and challenge—as in challenging the norms of how EMD employees interact with their environment. The bold, branded colors have an important impact on the otherwise monochromatic palette, representing the impact EMD has on the world's health and well-being.
Key team-member contributions were made by Intec Group, Red Thread, BR+A Consulting Engineers, The Green Engineer, JLL Construction, and our client, EMD Serono.

Since we were small, our parents and society have taught us to have goals. To study hard once we went to school, not only to improve ourselves, but also so that we can do well; so we could achieve higher education, and then find a good job resulting in an even better career. Our parents or other well-meaning family wanted us to achieve this so our lives would run more smoothly, so we could help others and make a decent contribution to society by the mark we leave here during our short life-spans.
However, in the backward twilight zone of our culture, it is now considered a privilege to be an intelligent person. Still choking and reeling at the thought of 'white privilege', something a person is born into without choice, this 'cognitive privilege' just takes the cake. If a person has any redeeming quality these days they are attacked for one reason or another. The left has now widened their tyranny to include anyone who has a decent IQ score.
The Daily Iowan revealed the discovery of this new privilege in an article by Dan Williams:
"There are many kinds of privilege besides white privilege: cognitive privilege, for example. We now know that intelligence is not something we have significant control over but is something we are born with. We are living in a society in which success is increasingly linked to one's intelligence. This is not to say that intelligence is the only factor that is important. All that is implied is that below a certain threshold of intelligence, there are fewer and fewer opportunities. These opportunities are being shifted upward to jobs that require heavier cognitive lifting or else are being replaced by robots. Thus, the accident of having been born smart enough to be able to be successful is a great benefit that you did absolutely nothing to earn. Consequently, you have nothing to be proud of for being smart."
"Life is the biggest crap shoot of all."
We have no choice about the genes we inherit. We are born into a certain race, color, sex, and class that is unchangeable. No one has done anything special to inherit what they get, you just end up with what you get. No refunds, returns or exchanges. It's an as-is sort of experience. Most decent people do the best they can with the hand that was dealt them genetically. Why complain about something you cannot change? Or give special attention to certain people because of what they were born into?
Yet, we have an issue now if a person is born white. According to the left, it's imperative to shame a person who just happens to be Caucasian. If said person is also a cis-gendered male- meaning straight- then there is a triple humiliation to suffer. Because this is a normal white male, he becomes reduced, picked apart by this kind of reasoning. Subsequently, if you're an intelligent, straight, white male then it appears it would have been better if you had never been born- or perhaps you should have just been born a different person entirely.
For these stuck-up racist bigots to prejudge a person -now based on the fact that they have a higher cognitive ability is beyond absurd.
Forget that it was intelligent white men that ended slavery in the west. That it was smart white straight men that created western civilization with all of it's wonders and failures. The people that have genetic privilege earned it through their ancestry. Those men wanted better lives for their families. Wanted better medicine, cleaner living conditions, and through hard work, dedication and pure drive they achieved these things. Not just for themselves but for the betterment of mankind.
Somehow that's not good enough. The men who worked so hard to create this way of life for everyone- should have their descendants shamed and made to feel as 'other'. A clever person should feel humbled because other people are jealous? Envious in fact – that they happened to be ripped out of the wrong crotch – looking to punish innocent people because they aren't as smart as they would like to be.
Let's go back to those times that when those privileged white men were laboring to build roads and bridges, beautiful buildings and other modern wonders of the world. Men in those days studied to improve their educations so that they could achieve their dreams- which they did.
Anytime a person studies, reads or does some kind of exercise for their mind, then their cognitive ability increases. We are all affected by our conditions every day down to a cellular level, down to our DNA strands. If we perpetrate violence, it changes our DNA and makes our children more likely to inherit that affected gene. The same goes for any conditions we happen to live in. Sickness, and mental illness affect our genes- but also good things like how we look at education, our drive and determination can be passed down to our children. The more we fine-tune our skill, the more we learn in life- the more our DNA changes and so does what our children happen to inherit from us. But if a person leads a lazy life with no discipline, perhaps using or hurting others, then that person is changing himself- and effectively what his children may be able to inherit.
As stated before, the people that do have genetic- white, cognitive- privilege earned it through their ancestry. End of story.
This skewed news article also fails to note how easy it's become for anyone to be able to improve their cognitive ability if they are willing to put the work in. Due to the creation of the internet- courtesy of 'white cognitive cis-male privilege'- we have more options and tools available than ever before to enrich our lives. We can read or study anything our hearts desire. Any subject we can imagine from chemistry and equations to linguistic arts and creative subjects like music, dance, drawing and painting. There is nothing stopping anyone from studying hard to better their lot in life, and in turn refine the lives of their descendants.
The only thing to stop a person these days from learning anything is themselves, point blank. There is no nicer way to say it.
The lives of people born with lower IQ's or what they perceive to be a losing station in life are not worth any less than the life of an intelligent person. However these people should not be rewarded and have everything handed to them without the necessary work, just because they are too dense or lazy to enrich their own lives in the wealthiest information age ever experienced in human history.
"The purpose of pointing out someone's privilege… is to enlarge their moral consciousness, to make them more sympathetic to people who are less fortunate than they are."
Sorry Dan. No one died and made it your job to 'enlarge our moral consciousness'. This is a personal issue that is between a human being and his creator. There is no room for a virtue signaling bully. To judge a person's virtues and morals on such a scale is the height of bigotry and in turn hypocrisy.
It's something only the painfully stupid will believe.

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory sees dozens of Earth eclipses and several lunar transits each year. On September 13, 2015, it saw the two happening at once.
This past Sunday (September 13, 2015) was a partial eclipse of the sun as seen from parts of South Africa and Antarctica. At the same time, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) – a satellite in geosynchronous orbit around Earth – caught a rare double eclipse of the sun, first by Earth and then by the moon. NASA said that SDO sees dozens of Earth eclipses and several lunar transits each year from its vantage point in space. This is the first time it has seen two happening at once! NASA explained:
Just as the moon came into SDO's field of view on a path to cross the sun, Earth entered the picture, blocking SDO's view completely. When SDO's orbit finally emerged from behind Earth, the moon was just completing its journey across the sun's face.
The double eclipse began around 06:30 UTC on September 13.
The image above was taken in extreme ultraviolet wavelengths of 171 angstroms. Though this light is invisible to our eyes, it is typically colorized in gold. The edge of Earth visible near the top of the frame appears fuzzy because Earth's atmosphere blocks different amounts of light at different altitudes. On the left, the moon's edge is perfectly crisp, because the moon doesn't have an atmosphere.
SDO has been observing the sun since 2010. It's in a circular, geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of 22,238 miles (35,789 kilometers) above Earth. That precise distance above Earth allows SDO to make one complete path around our planet every 24 hours. It means SDO stays in one spot in our sky. More importantly, SDO's orbit gives it an unobstructed view of the sun, usually.
But SDO has eclipse seasons twice each year. As NASA explained:
… Earth's revolution around the sun means that SDO's orbit passes behind Earth twice each year, for two to three weeks at a time.
During these phases, Earth blocks SDO's view of the sun for anywhere from a few minutes to over an hour once each day.

School's Out : a comparative study of workplace sexuality through the experiences of gay and lesbian teachers in California and Texas
Connell, Catherine Elizabeth
MetadataShow full item record
This dissertation investigates the workplace experiences of gay and lesbian teachers. In-depth interviews and field observations were conducted with 51 teachers in Texas and in California, two states with different legal approaches to gay rights and worker rights. This comparative study highlights the importance of social, political, and cultural context in individual decision-making about sexual disclosure and performance, explores the consequences of "normalization" of LGBT experiences in the classroom, and addresses the role of identity politics in social change. By taking an intersectional approach to gay/lesbian identity construction, this dissertation considers how race, class, gender, and sexuality inequalities are expressed and reinforced in the experiences of gay and lesbian teachers.

Welcome Address at Side event on "Towards a Resource Efficient Asia-Pacific through the Seoul Initiative Network on Green Growth"
Delivered at Side event on "Towards a Resource Efficient Asia-Pacific through the Seoul Initiative Network on Green Growth" in Bangkok, Thailand
Your Excellency, Mr. Minho Lee, Deputy Minister,
Distinguished Delegates,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The long-standing partnership of the Republic of Korea with ESCAP on a number of fronts has paid dividends for our broader membership. Many developing member States have benefited from the knowledge transfer on how to formulate and integrate green growth strategies which has promoted green growth strategies in our region.
In this context, the side event "Towards a Resource Efficient Asia-Pacific through the Seoul Initiative Network on Green Growth," co-hosted by ESCAP ought to not only recognize the contribution of this solid South South collaboration, but solicit views on how we can further deepen exchanges on the intricacies of green growth frameworks and their effective operationalization through mainstreaming it in development and budget plans.
Green growth is an instrumental approach to promoting 2030 Agenda as it embodies integrated strategies, incentives and policy frameworks to foster environmentally sustainable, low-carbon, and socially inclusive development.
Korea was the first country to mainstream green growth in its national development strategy in 2008. Its strong political vision drove Korea to help other states in the region adapt this approach. Last week, Korea declared its intention to develop its national sustainable development vision and plan based on inclusive green growth mechanisms. Korea will finalize the indicator framework to assess the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals by next year.
There is significant potential for emerging and developing economies to leapfrog to ecologically efficient, inclusive and sustainable development without repeating the environmentally-unsustainable development paths undertaken by developed countries. In response to this, the Seoul Initiative Network on Green Growth is a leading example of a regional cooperation framework that has involved building regional understanding and capacities to develop green growth models and policy tools, while sharing sound policy experiences through networking and knowledge dissemination. During the past 12 years of implementation, more than 1,200 participants from governments, international organizations, and academia have benefited from the Initiative.
Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Green growth is one of the approaches to addressing the region's vulnerabilities to environmental issues, including those caused by resource depletion, biodiversity loss, water pollution, and land degradation. Many of these issues can be addressed by enhanced resource efficiency. For example, the Asia-Pacific region uses three times more resources to produce each dollar of GDP, compared to the rest of the world.1 Unsustainable resource management in our region, such as disposing of waste in landfill and at sea, and inefficient use of fossil fuels continue to exacerbate the acute environmental problems we face.
Collective efforts are needed to build a resource efficient society through integrated approaches. We need to adopt green technologies such as renewable and low carbon energy, flare gas recovery, and waste to energy, and mobilize green finance including green funds, green bonds, and clean tech venture capital to promote resource efficiency and sustainable consumption and production. We must work together to tackle this shared problem with regional solutions. The regional knowledge-sharing platforms such as the Seoul Initiative are thus an important element.
To support the promotion of green growth and sustainable development in Asia-Pacific region, ESCAP convenes the annual Asia-Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development to support member States in implementing SDGs. At this year's APFSD, member States adopted the regional road map for implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Amongst other areas, the road map focuses on the management of natural resources, climate change and energy. In advancing this work, we count on the continued support of Korea to promote a more resource efficient Asia-Pacific region.
ESCAP remains committed to supporting engagement between member States and other stakeholders on promoting green growth in support of the 2030 Agenda and the implementation of the Seoul Initiative Network on Green Growth.
I thank you.

By Brett Samuels, The Hill
President Trump on Monday seized on a joke from Senate Intelligence Committee ranking Democrat Mark Warner over the weekend that the Virginia senator has inside information on special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
The tweet was sent as Trump was onboard Air Force One en route to a rally in Columbia, S.C.
The president was referencing a joke Warner made during a dinner Friday night in Martha's Vineyard as part of a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee retreat.
Rachel Cohen, a spokeswoman for Warner, responded that the senator's comment was "obviously a joke."
Politico reported that Warner told the more than 100 guests in attendance to "buckle up" for a "wild couple of months" in the special counsel's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
"If you get me one more glass of wine, I'll tell you stuff only Bob Mueller and I know," Warner joked.
Warner is the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence panel, which is conducting an investigation of its own into Russian interference.
While Trump has not often attacked Warner, he has frequently railed against Mueller's probe, calling it a "witch hunt" and a "hoax."
Four former Trump associates have pleaded guilty or been indicted in Mueller's probe thus far. The special counsel also filed charges against 13 Russians and three Russian entities for alleged meddling in the 2016 election.

New Delhi: India has offered to partially open up its poultry and dairy markets in a bid for a limited trade deal during US President Donald Trump's first official visit to the country this month, sources familiar with the protracted talks told news agency Reuters.
India, the world's largest milk-producing nation, has traditionally restricted dairy imports to protect the livelihoods of 80 million rural households involved in the industry. But Prime Minister Narendra Modi is trying to pull all the stops for the US President's Feb. 24-25 visit, aimed at rebuilding bonds between the world's largest democracies.
But it is far from clear whether India's offers will be enough to satisfy US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, who cancelled plans for a trip to India this week. Instead, he has held telephone talks with Indian counterpart, commerce minister Piyush Goyal.
Lighthizer was expected to visit India on February 13 and no reason was given for the change in plans amid signs that the India-U.S. trade talks have hit a rough patch. However, there is still a considerable chance that he would visit as a part of. Trump's entourage to finalise a trade package or a "mini-trade deal".
In 2019, Trump suspended India's special trade designation that dated back to 1970s, after Modi put price caps on medical devices, such as cardiac stents and knee implants, and introduced new data localization requirements and e-commerce restrictions.
Trump's trip to India has raised hopes that he would restore some of the country's U.S. trade preferences, in exchange for tariff reductions and other concessions.
The United States is India's second-largest trade partner after China, and bilateral goods and services trade climbed to a record $142.6 billion in 2018. The United States had a $23.2 billion goods trade deficit in 2019 with India, its 9th largest trading partner in goods.
India has offered to allow imports of US chicken legs, turkey and produce such as blueberries and cherries, Indian government sources said, and has offered to cut tariffs on chicken legs from 100% to 25%. US negotiators want that tariff cut to 10%.
The Modi government is also offering to allow some access to India's dairy market, but with a 5% tariff and quotas, the sources said. But dairy imports would need a certificate they are not derived from animals that have consumed feeds that include internal organs, blood meal or tissues of ruminants.
New Delhi has also offered to lower its 50% tariffs on very large motorcycles made by Harley-Davidson , a tax that was a particular irritant for Trump, who has labelled India the "tariff king." The change would be largely symbolic because few such motorcycles are sold in India.
Trump will be feted in Modi's home state of Gujarat, then hold talks in New Delhi and attend a reception that the hosts have promised will be bigger than the one organised for former president Barack Obama in 2015.
The US dairy industry remained sceptical on Thursday that a viable deal is at hand. "We're always looking for market access, but in terms of India, as of today I'm not aware of any real progress going on," said Michael Dykes, president of the International Dairy Foods Association and a member of USTR's agricultural trade policy advisory committee.
Dykes said the U.S. dairy industry was looking for access in viable commercial quantities. A USTR spokesman and India's trade ministry did not respond to requests for comment.
An Indian parliament panel is reviewing a draft data privacy law that imposes stringent controls over cross-border data flows and gives the government powers to seek user data from companies.
It is not clear whether it will be passed, or in what form, but the possibilities have unnerved US companies and could raise compliance requirements for Google, Amazon.com Inc and Facebook. The draft law is not part of the trade discussions, Indian officials say, because the issue is too difficult to resolve at the same time.
"The privacy and localization piece will be raised independently and in concert with the trade discussions," said a Washington-based source with knowledge of the U.S. administration's thinking. Trump on Tuesday was non-committal about sealing a trade deal before his visit. "If we can make the right deal, we'll do it," he told reporters.
Two U.S. sources said progress had been made on proposed alterations to the medical device price caps. India's new import tariffs on medical devices, walnuts, toys, electronics and other products on Feb. 1 surprised U.S. negotiators, however.
The new tariffs were aimed at China, which also makes medical devices, according to an Indian government source. "We have to protect our market and our companies," the source said.

House Passes Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations
Last week the House of Representatives passed the Labor-HHS-Education appropriations. The bill includes a total increase for targeted homeless programs of approximately $47 million. Specifically:
Runaway and Homeless Youth Act programs received a $10 million increase to $113 million;
Education of Homeless Children and Youth received a $5 million increase to $67 million;
Grants to Benefit Homeless Individuals received a $13 million increase to $57 million;
Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program received a $1.8 million increase to $23.6 million;
Health Care for the Homeless received an increase of approximately $17.2 million to $190 million;
Projects in Assistance for Transition from Homelessness (PATH) was level funded at $54 million.
The bill passed by a vote of 276-140. The President has said that he will veto the bill because the spending exceeds his budget request. As it stands now, the 276 votes represent 66.4 percent of total votes cast, just short of enough to override the President's veto.

Thermagard™ HQ SATIN Heatset OPV
ThermaGard HQ SATIN heatset overprint varnish is Kerley's economy-priced, semi-gloss overprint varnish. ThermaGard SATIN contains PTFE, so dried films have good scuff & burnish resistance right from the delivery end of the press. ThermaGard SATIN formulated to be used in the press fountain, just like an ink. This means that ThermaGard HQ SATIN varnish can also be used a "spot" varnish for selective application of varnish on the printed sheet.
ThermaGard HQ SATIN also contains Tung Oil (aka: Chinawood Oil), enabling the film to continue to air-cure after heat-setting to a very hard, yet flexible and more chemically-resistant film. Consequently, ThermaGard HQ SATIN OPV does not accept lamination or stamping readily (please see our wax free offerings). ThermaGard HQ SATIN, when properly applied and adequately air-cured, is capable of withstanding rub tests of several hundred strokes, especially if a small amount of drier such as our "Litho Dri CO 6" is added press-side. Contains PTFE and silica, which must be stirred from the bottom of the container before usage.
ThermaGard HQ SATIN contains 41% bio/renewable materials.

My Calling as an Apostle
Let me begin by saying that I am truly humbled and honored to have been called and ordained as an Apostle of The Church of Jesus Christ. If you were able to attend yesterday's Sunday service at the General Church Conference, then you heard me relate three dreams that I was blessed with that confirmed for me my calling as an Apostle. I believe it was no coincidence that "Dreams" was selected as the Miracle Monday theme for this month of April, so I am going to share my three dreams in today's blog, especially for the benefit of those who were unable to attend the Conference.
Dream 1 (2003)
In this dream of 15 years ago, I believe the Lord was just letting me know that this calling was in my future.
I dreamt that we were in a conference setting. The Apostles were standing in a circle, discussing something. For those of us standing outside the circle, we somehow knew that the Apostles were discussing how they were going to fill an existing opening in the Quorum of Twelve. I was standing near the circle. Apostle Paul Palmieri then turned from the circle and pointed at me and said, "OK, you."
Dream 2 (2016)
I dreamt that I was in an office building. The building seemed to represent The Church. The Apostles had large offices, and other church members had smaller offices, while others were working at desks. I walked by a desk, and Apostle Jim Crudup was sitting at the desk. The desk was in an open area, the type of office space normally given to a lower-level employee. I asked Brother Jim why he was sitting here instead of in an office. He said, "They're still finishing up my office upstairs." He then looked around to see if anyone was listening and then said to me, "Your office is going to be right next to mine."
Dream 3 (May 22, 2017)
I dreamt that I was having a conversation with Apostle Paul Benyola. This occurred during the time that Brother Paul was ill and confined to his home. Although he had been ill for a long time by this point, he looked healthy in my dream — just the way I remembered him prior to his illness. In the dream, Brother Paul told me that I was going to be the next Apostle and that all of the brothers in the Quorum of Twelve were in favor of calling me as an Apostle. I asked him when this was going to happen and he said, "I'm not sure."
When I awoke, my thought was that Brother Paul was telling me that I was going to take his place in the Quorum when he passed away. That's why he wasn't sure of the exact time when it would happen. Since we were still praying for his recovery at the time, I just mentally filed this away as a future event.
Two days later, we were saddened by the news of Brother Paul's passing. Even as I was reacting to this sad news, the weight of my dream from 48 hours earlier descended upon me as I realized that the time had arrived for me to become a member of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles. Sure enough, at the next General Church Conference, I was interviewed by the Apostles, and they unanimously agreed that the Lord was calling me to this office.
I'm so thankful for these dreams as a confirmation of this calling. They give me confidence that the Lord will be working through me as I serve as an Apostle of The Church of Jesus Christ. I solicit your prayers, not only for myself but for all of the Apostles.

Will the 2011 Heat Emulate the 2007 Patriots?
Sorry to go on a 2011 Miami Heat bender here, but BBR Blog reader Nick had an intriguing comment in response to yesterday's post about a possible weakness of the LeBron James/Dwyane Wade tandem:
"Trying to compare the Heat to anything that has ever come before is an exercise in futility. You have the best player in the league, who happens to LOVE to pass teamed up with the second-or-third best player, who also is pretty fond of passing to the open man. They may both have had similar styles, but they ended up in those styles due to their teams' set-ups. How LeBron will act now that he can people to pass to who are good in their own right cannot be predicted with the information we have.
There's never been anything like it before. Every Heat game is going to be worth watching, especially against the crappy teams, because you don't know what sort of thing they'll bring out when they're way ahead. It wouldn't surprise me if they have regular season games where Miller shoots 20 3s and scores 30+ points, just because they think it'd be fun to do. This Heat team goes way beyond special into the realm of surreal."
That reminded me of a Chase Stuart post at PFR in October 2007:
Hard-Driving New Teammates
One common observation about the new-look Miami Heat goes something like this:
- Dwyane Wade is a great perimeter player who makes his living attacking the basket. He's unstoppable when he drives into the lane, but not as good when you force him to shoot a jump shot.
- LeBron James is also a great perimeter player who makes his living attacking the basket. He, too, is unstoppable when he drives into the lane, but not as good when you force him to shoot a jump shot.
- Won't this redundancy in skills make the Heat easier to defend?
If only we could quantify this dilemma, find similar situations in the past where two hard-driving teammates joined forces, and see if their offenses were as potent as expected…
Oh, wait, we can.
Enter good old Free Throw Rate (FTA/FGA). Because the majority of fouls are assessed on interior shooting attempts and/or aggressive offensive plays, FTR is actually a pretty good indicator of where a player likes to operate from on offense. Players like Glen Rice and Dennis Scott were known for their low FTRs because they took a ton of perimeter jumpers, shots on which a foul would land you in the serious doghouse. And at the other end of the spectrum there's Reggie Evans, whose legendary FTRs tell the story of a player who rarely attempts a shot outside of point-blank range. Obviously there are some players who are exceptions to this rule, but the majority of players' inside-outside tendencies can be described simply by looking at FTA/FGA.
So that should be the starting point in examining the issue of hard-driving teammates. The next step is to compare everyone's FTR to some universal standard, and to do that I borrowed this method from PFR's Doug Drinen. I don't want to bore you with the details, but it basically compares everyone to the league average; 100 is average, numbers greater than 100 mean the player attacks the rim more than the average player, and numbers under 100 mean the player is less aggressive than the average player. The theory is that if we just look at these "FTR Index" numbers for perimeter players (PG, SG, SF), we can find players who drove to the basket the most, which best describes LeBron and D-Wade's playing style.
Lee, Robinson Make Knicks a Playoff Contender in 09-10
This week, the news Knicks fans have been hoping to hear finally came: David Lee and Nate Robinson re-signed with the club, each inking 1-year deals in the $5-7 million range that (most importantly) will not interfere with the Knicks' long-awaited free agent pursuit of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, or any of the other headliners in the star-studded FA class of 2010.

Welcome back to another week of CASE-ing The Catty. The crew is made up of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all parts of Australia and New Zealand.You are at the blog of Rachel Palmieri, Independent Stampin' Up!® demonstrator. I run classes at my home studio in South Morang, Victoria, share Stampin' Up!® products and tools at parties for my customers, coach my lovely team and create cards and the occasional 3D project. This week we showcase our favourite retiring bundle, and you may guess that mine is Needle & Thread, page 38-39 of the Occasions catalogue.
This colour block card was CASEd from Julie Davisson, a top US demonstrator. You can see her card by clicking on her name. I used the patterned paper to inspire the choice of flowers and colours for my larger block on the left.
There is a die included which pierces the paper in this lovely design (so hard to photograph!) and I've left it to stand alone here. Of course it can also be dressed up with some of the lovely die cut flowers, or watercolouring etc.

Series: Stormwalker #4
Published by Self Published Source: Publisher
Reviewed by Jo
When someone targets Ansel, the Nightwalker living in Janet's hotel, Janet and Mick find themselves caught in a fight between supernatural powers, one that could prove deadly for them both.
Janet Begay is a Stormwalker who just wants to be able to enjoy her life. As a photographer and hotel owner, Janet has plenty to keep her busy; especially, when you add in her sexy boyfriend, Mick. However, that doesn't appear to be in her future when an attack on her hotel begins a mystery on why so many people want the Nightwalker, Ansel, who lives in her basement. Janet and Mick save Ansel that night and it begins a hunt on why everyone wants Ansel and what is behind this sudden attention.
As Janet gets answers and finds more clues, it becomes very clear that ancient legends and artifacts are involved. The fact that not even Ansel can help Janet with answers just lends to the mystery. However, when the strangeness begins affecting friends, Janet is ready to discover the final answers and keep her friends and loved ones safe. With Mick's help and support, Janet takes on the final battle that will either allow everything to return back to normal or will end up destroying all around.
Nightwalkers, Dragons, ancient legends and artifacts all combine to keep one certain Stormwalker and her boyfriend very busy as they try to put life back as they know it in Nightwalker. Janet and Mick thought they might get a little down time to explore their evolving relationship; however, fate has other ideas when suddenly Janet's hotel is ground zero for some kind of bounty hunt. I was very sorry for Ansel as his story slowly unrolled and what was behind the attacks. I loved how Janet took everything in stride and still worked her hardest to keep her friends and loved ones safe from what turned out to be the results of ancient actions. Through all the twists and turns, the one thing that was unmistakable is that each time danger surrounds Janet and Mick – it only brings them closer together and proves how strong their love really is. Nightwalker is action packed and filled with tension, suspense, and passion by turns.

Whenever the United States travels to Mexico's impenetrable fortress of Azteca, turmoil surely follows. The Americans, both on the pitch and off, head to their southern neighbors' largest and most terrifying stadium not dissimilarly to warriors heading into some ancient conflict: heads down, in numbers, and with survival the only goal.
On Sunday night, thanks to a nervy defense and Michael Bradley briefly ascending to a higher plane of existence, the US was able to escape Azteca with a point in a back-and-forth 1-1 draw that puts them in prime position to qualify to the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
What a chip from Michael Bradley!

For their part, Mexico largely played the role of the agreeable host; despite an unnecessary-but-not-surprising booing of the Star Spangled Banner–and the "puto" chant that has been so controversial that it actually has lost all meaning aside from resistance to FIFA's oversight–the Mexican fans largely were kept away from the Americans, both by virtue and by barbed wire fences (yes, seriously).
Carlos Vela's 23rd minute equalizer probably felt like a small earthquake inside the stadium, but one that just rattles your house, not burns it down.

Of course, the lingering tension wasn't helped by the current geopolitical climate; anti-Trump sentiments went far and wide both before and during the game. Piñatas of the current President of the United States were beaten to a pulp by El Tri supporters, and reports had some American fans joining in (as proven in Columbus during the last round of qualifying, nothing brings certain parts of both countries together quite like a good Trump bashing).
That being said, one "brave" fan apparently decided to sneak in a giant Trump doll into a section of Mexican fans, because arrogance is part of the American Dream. Thankfully, it doesn't look like his patriotism aroused any possibly-deserved tough talk or, perhaps, something more than that.

In all, this was, by all reports, the calmest US-Mexico match at Azteca in years. Part of that might have to do with the relative unimportance of the game at hand; while, sure, both teams could have benefited greatly from a win, a draw served both sides well, especially a Mexico team that on its best day is clearly the most talented in CONCACAF.
The other part might be the presence of a small militia in the form of Mexican police, who escorted American fans from the hotels into the stadium, where the US supporters watched from mostly behind the aforementioned barbed wire fences.
It might be small praise for what is supposed to be an innocent game, but the fact that the US grabbing a point at the Azteca didn't start an international incident is a victory every way you look at it. Sentimentally, one can chalk it up to the healing power of the world's most popular sport; realistically, one can commend Mexico for being prepared for the worst, and to both sets of fans for keeping the violence nonphysical.
Either way, both squads will now go their separate ways…at least until the Gold Cup comes around for another round.

Pros Elite To Host Presidents' Best Practices Meeting At ITEX


text: Nothing she has said, in this thread or any others, is self-centered at all. She is simply stating what's true...and you're actually proving her point for her. PA's are typically the self-centered half of relationships as the addiction itself is very selfish. They gaslight, rationalize, and throw blame around anywhere but on themselves where it rightfully belongs. And, they have a complete lack of empathy for the pain and damage they cause to the ones they love most due to their addictive behavioral choices. Of all the thoughtless, insulting, and incorrect accusations you've made about @EyesWideOpen , this is the one that really feels like a massive punch in the face. When we discover our partner is a PA, do you think that gives us the feeling that 'everything' is all about us? When we realize that the trust we had for the most important person in our lives has been broken, repeatedly, how do you think that makes us feel? When we make the choice to stay with and support our partners in spite of all the pain we're feeling, is that being self-centered? When we do our best to forgive and move on after multiples relapses, are we being so selfish as to make everything about ourselves? When our hearts are aching from betrayal trauma caused by their PA, are we so selfish not to put all our focus on the "porridge brains" they've developed? Anyone who's been in a relationship with a PA for any amount of time can tell you that everything is absolutely not about the SO...not their feelings, wants, needs, or anything else. Although addicts can keep themselves convinced that they're considerate of others, especially their SO, it's all a part of the immense amount of bullshit they constantly tell themselves to rationalize their continued behavior. If they pretend their SO is the selfish one, then they feel entitled to feed the addiction. No one is better at playing the victim than addicts themselves. The list of ridiculous crap used to justify is endless and includes things like... A really important part of a successful recovery is recognizing the harm caused by your addiction and making amends for the damage done. As @EyesWideOpen said, it also requires the ability to develop empathy. The betrayal trauma experienced by SO's is not a nice thing to see. No PA truly wants to see the pain and suffering they've caused to their loved one. So, it's easier to ignore it, deny it, downplay it, flip the blame, or do whatever else is necessary to avoid facing it. Sometimes, it even includes extreme gaslighting (similar to many of the things you said to EyesWideOpen)...making unfair judgements about the SO, belittling them, saying mean and unjustified things to them to try to make them feel as if they are the real problem, guilting them for feeling betrayed, criticizing them for wanting to protect themselves from further harm and somehow turning that into the SO not being supportive enough for the only one they see as a victim of PA, the addict himself. Of course, gaslighting in any form is not helpful for anyone's recovery. In fact, it only perpetuates the damage and serves as a clear reminder to the SO that, in reality, everything is really about the addiction.
