Jim Cramer discussed Tuesday on CNBC's "Mad Money" his "basket of winners" if former Vice President Joe Biden wins the presidential election.Cramer believes if Biden wins the election, the Democrats will be eager to throw money at the solar industry. Two solar stocks he likes: First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR) and Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA). Infrastructure is another industry Cramer believes will be a winner if Biden wins. If there is a democratic sweep, we could see an infrastructure package. Cramer likes these two infrastructure stocks: Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) and Deere & Company (NYSE: DE).See Also: Trump, Biden To Have Microphones Muted In Final Debate When Rival Makes Opening RemarksCramer says the main difference between President Donald Trump and Biden is trade. He believes if Biden wins, there will be no more trade war with China. Cramer likes these Chinese play stocks: 3M Company (NYSE: MMM), Emerson Electric Co (NYSE: EMR) and Otis Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: OTIS).The biggest winners are the China consumer plays, which are Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ: SBUX), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Nike, Inc. (NYSE: NKE) according to Cramer. He believes Nike will hit the $135 price range due to the company's Chinese business.See more from Benzinga * Options Trades For This Crazy Market: Get Benzinga Options to Follow High-Conviction Trade Ideas * Container Store Surges On Big Q2 Sales Beat, Marie Kondo Partnership * Jason Snipe Gives His Bullish Thoughts On Wayfair, AutoZone(C) 2020 Benzinga.com.

Markets have shown two themes in recent weeks, a combination of uncertainty and an upward trend. Day to day, it's impossible to predict just what will happen, but the larger scale movement has been upwards. Looking ahead, all we know is that current events will reinforce the uncertainty.Earnings season has started. As the market's publicly traded companies report their Q3 results, we'll get a clearer idea as the nature of the economic recovery. Q1 was a disaster, the second quarter was better than expected; while Q3 is also expected to beat the expectations, no one will be surprised if it belly flops. So far, our first hint was the September jobs report, which fell short of the forecast but nevertheless showed some 661,000 new jobs last month.The big wild card, of course, is the national election, now just weeks away. President Trump is fighting for his political life and the Democrat opposition is fighting to regain control of the levers of government. It's an environment that practically screams for investors to take protective action for their portfolios. And it's possible; even in an uncertain time, there are dividend stocks that promise reliable returns and risk mitigation. Using the TipRanks database, we've pulled two stocks with Strong Buy ratings and high dividend yields. Wall Street's analyst corps sees them as ripe for investment returns, while the dividend yield of 9% or better promises relief from today's low-rate regime. Hoegh LNG Partners (HMLP)Hoegh operates floating gas services, including storage facilities and regasification units that can act as LNG import terminals in the absence of shore-based infrastructure.Late this past summer, Hoegh announced a new CEO, part of a normal transition of leadership in the company. The remarkable aspect was that the transition occurred during the COVID outbreak – and that the company showed positive revenues and earnings during that time, avoiding the heavy losses that have plagued some of its competitors. Hoegh's EPS has varied quarter to quarter over the past two years, but the Q2 numbers were in-line with the long-term average, and the Q3 outlook, to be reported next month, is in the same range.Steady earnings usually mean a steady dividend, and HMLP delivers. The company has a 6-year history of dividend reliability, and the payment, of 44 cents per common share, has been held stable through 2020. The $1.76 annualized payment gives an impressively high yield of 15.5%. This is more than 7x the average found among S&P listed dividend payers.Liam Burke, of B. Riley FBR, counts himself as a fan. He writes, "Despite near-term decline in global LNG consumption caused by the coronavirus, there is solid underlying demand for LNG, which is estimated to grow by more than 3% to 5% annually until 2030, which sets the stage for consistent demand for high return floating storage and re-gasification units (FSRU) beyond current contract periods. We continue to believe in the long-term strength of the LNG market and HMLP's underlying charters despite the inherent counter-party risks created by a near-term decline in LNG consumption related to COVID-19."Burke rates HMLP shares a Buy, and his $17 price target indicates confidence in a 45.5% upside potential. (To watch Burke's track record, click here)Overall, Wall Street has given HMLP 3 Buys and 1 Hold recently, for a Strong Buy consensus rating. The average price target is $13.67, suggesting a 19% upside from the current trading level of $11.41. (See HMLP stock analysis on TipRanks)Hess Midstream Operations (HESM)Next up on today's list of dividend champs is Hess Midstream, a player in the US oil and gas industry. Hess provides infrastructure services for gathering, processing, storing, and transporting both crude oil and natural gas products in the Bakken formation of North Dakota.Production companies have kept the product flowing despite the coronavirus, which is one reason for the low prices in the oil markets – but it has also kept the midstreamers in demand. Hess has benefited from the continuing need for its technical knowledge of pipeline network, and the result has been that, while much of the oil industry had to retrench recently, Hess saw only modest losses in revenues while earnings remained in-line with their 2-year recent history. Second Quarter EPS was 29 cents; that was lower than Q1, but higher than 4Q19.Hess has turned its steady earnings to shareholders' advantage, with a dividend that has been increased every quarter for the past 2 years. The last payment, sent in August, was 44 cents per common share. This gave a yield of 9.86%, strong by any standard.JPMorgan analyst Tarek Hamid says of Hess, "The unique pricing model underpinning core profitability remains unmatched and further helps to eliminate (to an extent) DAPL uncertainty overhang relative to peers. Longer-term growth prospects could come in the form of asset level acquisitions and potentially a framework tied to Hess's GOM position, but management has conveyed a conservative approach with respect to corporate M&A… HESM will burn cash this year, though our modeling indicates a flip to FCF generation in FY21 on lower capital intensity and higher y/y profitability."To this end, JPMorgan rates HESM an Overweight (i.e. Buy) along with a $23 price target. This figure suggests a 40% upside for HESM shares in the months ahead.Overall, this stock's Strong Buy consensus rating is supported by 4 Buys and 1 Hold. Shares are selling for $16.46, and the average price target of $19.75 indicates a 20% upside potential.

There-is-no-alternative, or TINA, has been a pretty solid investment strategy for those who are riding the stock-market wave. But to Deutsche Bank's international private bank chief investment office, it has its limits.
On Oct. 6, General Electric (NYSE:GE) stock dipped 5% after the company revealed the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had issued it a Wells notice. Soon, the gross overreaction to this proved to be an ideal entry point — shares have since recovered over 10%. And it's still not too late to jump into GE stock. Source: JPstock / Shutterstock.com That's because more experienced investors will realize that GE shows the classic signs of a "Warren Buffett" investment. Of course, it's not easy to buy stocks when they're down – consider Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) in 2001 after the dotcom bubble, or Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) in 2014 before its move into cloud computing.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips But people can forget how troubled these companies seemed at the time. Those who invest in these diamonds in the rough stand to gain — and massively so. I call these investments "I told you so" stocks. Here are three reasons why GE stock is one of them. GE Stock: Built On a Strong Business Franchise After reaching a low in April, world air travel has slowly recovered. And GE stock stands to recuperate even faster. Why? The industrial giant earns most of its profits from the jet engine business, a highly lucrative industry where GE holds a 60% market share (31% through GE Aviation, 28% through CFM International). And the jet engine looks much like a "razor-and-blades" model — engines are typically sold for little or no profit while spare parts and services have profit margins up to 70%. 7 Red-Hot Recent IPOs to Ditch Now That means even a partial return to normal airline usage will help GE's bottom line. On top of the fact that jet engines still need servicing while grounded, the demand for spare parts will recover as airplanes take back to the skies. And if they're running GE engines, you can imagine who they will turn to for repairs. Analysts now expect GE to return to pre-pandemic EBITDA margins by 2022, or two years faster than the airline industry. Overlooked by Other Investors For years, GE has struggled to shed its image as a bloated conglomerate. Despite significant asset sales by turnaround CEO Larry Culp, the company still trades at just 5.05 times EV-to-EBITDA, one of the lowest ratios in the industry. But these low values are the hallmarks of great investments. There's a good reason why long-time investors would wrongly shun General Electric today. During the 2008 financial crisis, investors learned that half of GE's profits came from GE Capital, a 100% owned affiliate that filed separate reports with the SEC. The subsidiary made money in everything from European car loans to Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) credit cards to (unfortunately) subprime mortgages. It was also a conduit for smoothing earnings, a financial "no-no" that GE infamously used. That all came crashing down during The Great Recession. As the magnitude of GE's financial problems came to light, Wall Street turned its back on the company. EV-to-Revenue — a measure of valuation — went from around 3.3 in 2009 to 0.6 times today. These are levels that the airline industry saw in 2012 before their massive run-ups. Today, most investors seem to be hung-up on their biases when it comes to GE stock. Institutional ownership comes to 61%, compared to 75% for engineering service company Emerson (NYSE:EMR) and 87% for defense contractor General Dynamics (NYSE:GD). But General Electric now looks little like its former self. The grudge seems to be no longer warranted. Selling at a Significant Discount Last week, GE's announcement of a Wells notice sent the stock spiraling. I'm typically wary of companies with misreported earnings – in fraud cases, one financial shenanigan often leads to many more. But GE's $3 billion market loss was an overreaction to the Wells notice announcement. There are three key reasons why. First — according to Morningstar — the usual Wells notice penalty comes to just $550,000. In June, AmTrust (OTCMKTS:AFSIC) paid $10.5 million to settle a case that was similar to General Electric's – that's higher than average but still far less than the $3 billion hit that GE stock took in its market capitalization. Second, the SEC is investigating GE's past write-offs — how it calculated reserves leading up to its surprising $6 billion insurance and $22 billion energy write-offs in 2018. These are leftover parts from the company's conglomerate days. And finally, Wells notices signal potential violations, not actual ones. Typically 20% of cases get dropped entirely. Of course, Wells notices are never good news. In General Electric's case, the company may have to pay significant fines in order to settle with the SEC. But it's unlikely that the penalty will sink the company. What's GE Worth? Given the Wells notice's expected low impact, GE's fair value remains unchanged at $16.50 — making a 150% jump likely. Its strong jet engine and medical imaging franchise looks set to recover quickly in 2021. Great investments don't come around often. And with GE ticking these boxes, it certainly looks like it could be an "I told you so" stock for patient investors. "I told you so" — wouldn't that be nice to say?

The mRNA coronavirus vaccine in development by Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) and BioNTech SE - ADR (NASDAQ: BNTX) is poised for an emergency use authorization application, according to SVB Leerink. The Pfizer Analyst: Geoffrey Porges has a Market Perform rating on Pfizer shares.The Pfizer Thesis: Pfizer-BioNTech's vaccine candidate BNT162b2 will likely report interim efficacy results within the next few weeks and then advance to an emergency use filing, Porges said in a note.BNT162b2 has a high likelihood of achieving its efficacy and safety outcomes and advancing to at least initial emergency approval in November, the analyst said."We believe there is a high probability of BNT162b2 being granted an EUA for high risk populations in the fourth quarter." Related Link: The Week Ahead In Biotech: Spectrum Pharma FDA Decision, Biogen And Abbott Earnings, Cancer Conference SVB Leerink's vaccine market model assumes permanent risk from SARS-CoV-2, necessitating re-vaccination every two years to maintain protective immunity, Porges said. Relatively high vaccine penetration to the tune of 80% is likely in health care workers and high-risk adults such as the elderly and those with comorbidities, and low penetration is foreseen for low-risk adults and ultimately children, the analyst said."We also forecast an initial large bolus of vaccination in 2021-2022E given the size of the COVID naive population, followed by a stable re-vaccination trend into 2030Es," he said. Porges expects two initial doses for priming immunization, and then a single booster every two years.Given Pfizer's lead position in clinical development, strong immunogenicity data and seemingly clean safety profile, BNT162b2 is expected to take more than 50% of the market share initially, which would decrease over time to 25% as more products enter the market place, the analyst said.Pfizer's vaccine is expected to be priced at $30 per dose in the U.S. and $23 in regions outside of the U.S. initially, with the price falling to $11-$15 per dose over time, he said. Incorporating BNT162b2 in SVB Leerink's Pfizer model with an 80% probability of success, Porges said he expects it to generate $3.54 billion in sales in 2021 and $1.57 billion in 2024.PFE Price Action: Pfizer shares were down 0.56% at $37.28 at last check Wednesday.

Bayer's <BAYGn.DE> Monsanto division on Wednesday lost a final appeal in a long-running French legal battle in which the crop chemical maker has been held liable for the accidental inhalation of a weedkiller by a crop farmer. Monsanto had been trying to overturn a decision by an appeals court in 2019 that had found the company's product safety information to have been inadequate in relation to the accident involving farmer Paul Francois in 2004. France's highest court rejected Monsanto's latest appeal in a ruling published on Wednesday, opening the way for another court to decide on what damages should be awarded to Francois.
Biden has proposed raising the capital gains tax rate from 20% to 39.6% for those making over $1 million.

The Biden campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Despite an extremely volatile, difficult and unpredictable 2020, the S&P 500 has managed to gain significant ground to new all-time highs in 2020.Investors who bought the dip during the sell-off early in the year have been rewarded with a fast market recovery.Buying the dip was also a great move during the 2008 Great Recession, when the S&P 500 lost roughly 50% of its value, ultimately bottoming at 666.79 on March 9, 2009.Since the bottom, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE: SPY) has generated a total return of 553% over the last 11-plus years.Wells Fargo's Difficult Decade: One market laggard in the last decade was big bank Wells Fargo & Co (NYSE: WFC).Like other U.S. banks, Wells Fargo took a big hit during the financial crisis, but the back actually stepped in to help stabilize the financial system by buying the assets of Wachovia for $14.8 billion in 2008.Unfortunately for Wells Fargo investors, the company has been plagued with a series of scandals, including a 2016 scandal involving employees creating fraudulent accounts on behalf of customers.Wells Fargo shares dropped as low as $5.67 during the financial crisis but had recovered back above $27 by the beginning of 2010. The 2011 Eurozone debt crisis pulled the stock back down to below $23, but the back was back making new all-time highs above $40 by mid-2013. The rally continued mostly interrupted until the big bank hit $58.76 in mid-2015.After four years of trading in a range between around $45 and $60, Wells Fargo shares broke out to the upside in the opening weeks of 2018, surging to their decade high of $66.31.The stock has since stalled thanks in large part to a Federal Reserve cap on the bank's assets as part of the regulatory fallout from the account scandal.Related Link: Here's How Much Investing ,000 In JPMorgan At Great Recession Lows Would Be Worth TodayWells Fargo In 2020, Beyond: Wells Fargo dipped as low as $22 during the 2020 COVID-19 sell-off and hasn't gained back much ground since.Despite the difficult decade, brave investors who bought at the financial crisis bottom have been rewarded. In fact, $1,000 worth of Wells Fargo stock bought on the day the S&P 500 bottomed in 2009 would be worth about $3,096 today, assuming reinvested dividends.Looking ahead, analysts expect additional upside for Wells Fargo in the next 12 months. The average price target among the 23 analysts covering the stock is $27, suggesting 18.1% upside from current levels.Photo via Wikimedia.

(Bloomberg) -- Traders may want to think about taking out some insurance, just in case the polls are wrong again.Global financial markets are increasingly pricing in the idea that Democratic challenger Joe Biden will not only unseat President Donald Trump at next month's U.S. election, but that he will have a friendly Congress as well. U.S. stocks and Treasury yields have risen on the prospect that a Biden administration will usher in a bigger fiscal stimulus, while the dollar has fallen and measures of implied market turbulence -- aided in part by the support of the U.S. central bank -- have been subdued. Yet while opinion polls both nationally and in critical swing states have Biden leading, the memory of 2016's shock presidential election result stands as a warning.Volatility markets "may have gotten a bit too complacent," according to Ladislav Jankovic, global foreign-exchange derivatives strategist at JPMorgan Chase & Co. That backdrop, combined with favorable volatility pricing "make it prudent to put on cheap election hedges," he said.The word cheap is key. While there is a possibility that Trump will win, the most likely outcome -- at least based on polls -- is that he will lose, and investors may therefore be reluctant to pay too much of a premium to guard against a so-called tail risk.With that in mind, Jankovic and his colleagues recommend option bets that stand to benefit from gains in the U.S. dollar.A win by Biden is seen by many observers as being more negative for the dollar, fueled in part by expectations that he would deliver a bigger fiscal stimulus package and that the resulting debt may weigh on the currency. It could also help boost investor risk sentiment and sap appetite for havens like the dollar. An upset win by Trump, on the other hand, could help buoy the greenback.According to JPMorgan, option strategies based on dollar calls -- the right to buy greenbacks at a particular price -- generally performed better in the wake of Hillary Clinton's surprise 2016 loss than other "risk-off constructs," such as those involving either euro or yen calls.This time around, they say that using options to bet that the dollar will climb against its Australian counterpart looks the best, while similar wagers on a declining offshore yuan are also worth considering. That's because the Aussie's spot price doesn't have to move as much as its peers to trigger the option, while the renminbi has been in focus amid China's trade spat with the U.S.More specifically, they recommend funding these positions with a dollar/rupee option structure so as to create a "near zero" cost for the trade. The rupee is not expected to react as much around the election event. The options strategy carries a two-month tenor to capture the risk into and after the election.Additional ReadingMARKETS OVERVIEW: On Wednesday, S&P 500 futures swung between losses and gains, while Treasuries dropped alongside the dollar amid speculation lawmakers have made some progress on a stimulus package to be financed by trillion-dollar borrowing.Biden Microtargets Hispanic Voters With New Ads: Campaign UpdatePelosi, Mnuchin Make Another Run at Stimulus McConnell OpposesU.S. Yields Hit Highest Since June as Election Bets Take OverBusiness Owners Speed Up Planned Sales Over Biden Tax Hike FearsShaken Up By Trump, Auto Lobby Eyes Impact of Biden PresidencyCourt-Packing Alternatives Start Gaining Traction With DemocratsFresh Treasuries Options Wagers Bet Against Election FireworksBiden Enters Last Stretch With $114 Million Cash Edge Over TrumpTrump Campaign Burned Through Almost Half Its Cash in SeptemberTrump 'Has Zero Ties to China,' Campaign Says on NYT Bank StoryTrump Says He May Release Contentious '60 Minutes' InterviewTrump Nemesis Mary Nichols on Short List to Run Biden EPA "Wall Street Votes" is a column highlighting opportunities for investors deluged with political news.

On CNBC's "Options Action," Mike Khouw said that calls outpaced puts in Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) by a ratio of 2 to 1 on Tuesday, ahead of the earnings report.The company is scheduled to report earnings Wednesday, after the market close, and the options market is implying a move of $35, higher or lower. That would be a move of around 8%, which is less than the company's average move on earnings, explained Khouw.See Also: How To Trade The Netflix And Tesla Earnings Reports Using OptionsDuring the session on Tuesday, Khouw noticed significant activity in the October weekly $450 calls.

text: 'How to Plan an Orgy in a Small Town': Slamdance Review 1:00 AM PST 2/11/2016 by Justin Lowe FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Courtesy of Slamdance Film Festival Underwhelming, despite a racy setup. TWITTER A Canadian comedy that tries to shed its provincial shell by getting a little wild and crazy. Writer-director Jeremy LaLonde's last feature was entitled Sex After Kids, so perhaps How to Plan an Orgy in a Small Town represents a logical extension of that conflicted premise. In any case, some semi-provocative situations and a range of comely castmembers who aren't shy about getting naked may make this ensemble outing an attractive pickup for cable and VOD outlets. The film begins with noted sex columnist Cassie Cranston (Jewel Staite) feeling secretly panicked over her new contract to write a juicy nonfiction book in the vein of the libidinous scenarios she's previously published in numerous magazine articles. The problem is, she made them all up, so elaborating on a book-length version of her nonexistent sex life seems utterly impossible, despite the minor detail that she's already accepted, and spent, her advance on the project. That dilemma quickly recedes however, when she learns about the death of her mother, a famous YA author who never approved of Cassie's professional calling, or anything about Cassie, really. Forced to reluctantly return to the small town of Beaver's Ridge that she fled years ago, Cassie comes face-to-face with her former high school boyfriend Adam (Ennis Esmer), who's now an estate attorney administering her mother's will, which, it turns out, leaves nothing whatsoever to Cassie. That slight is quickly compounded by the hostile attitudes of her old classmates, now the town's 30-something moral arbiters themselves, including former nemesis Heather (Lauren Lee Smith) and self-styled studmaster Bruce (Mark O' Brien), who's actually about to be divorced by his edgy but increasingly annoyed wife Alice (Katharine Isabelle). Old resentments quickly resurface, directed at Cassie's scathing public accounts concerning her hometown residents' prudish attitudes, sparking a minor revelation: If Cassie can persuade her acquaintances to engage in an orgy to prove their open-mindedness, she'll have all the fodder she needs for a rip-roaring book. Read more Hollywood Studios Leading $50M Investment in Mobile Movie Ticketing App So she makes a proposal, agreeing to provide her expertise for a half-dozen town residents if they're willing to prove that they're not as provincial as she's claimed. Heather accepts the challenge to recruit participants, driven by a newly urgent personal agenda. Adam agrees because he's still carrying a torch for Cassie, hoping they'll get a chance to hook up, although she's already indicated she won't be directly participating in the activities. For Bruce, group sex seems like a potential stealth strategy to re-approach Alice, who's only joining in to support Cassie. Various other locals, both qualified and barely functional, agree to join in and a plan is set in motion for them all to collectively lose their org-inity. If the film's setup weren't at least semi-inspired, the denouement wouldn't be seem so lackluster, but LaLonde's opinions about sexual behavior turn out to be almost as milquetoast as the local yokels he's lampooning. A few marginally risque spouse-swapping situations, plenty of partial nudity and a bit of gender-preference confusion add up to an underwhelming set of options for a sex comedy. To their credit, the cast appears to be enthusiastically committed to the film's central premise regardless, even if the ensemble format doesn't provide much opportunity for individual performances to stand out. Even for Staite, whose Cassie role should by rights be a good deal sassier than the material that LaLonde has scripted, there's not much opportunity to distinguish herself. The production's technical credits rarely exceed expectations, but suffice for a modestly budgeted feature.

Heather Locklear Hospitalized After Car Accident
Heather Locklear was hospitalized Thursday night after crashing her car.
A captain with the Ventura County Sheriffs told ET that deputies responded at 5:40 p.m. "to a solo vehicle collision in the 700 block of Country Valley Road."
The 55-year-old actress was transported to Los Robles Hospital in Thousand Oaks where she was treated for minor injuries.
Authorities' investigation into the cause of the accident is ongoing, but they noted to ET that "drugs and/or alcohol were not a factor."

A public information officer later told ET that Locklear's grey Porsche Carrera 4s "left the roadway and went down a five to six foot ditch." They also confirmed that the speed limit on that road is around 24 to 35 MPH.
The spokesperson also denied reports that Locklear was on her cell phone at the time of the crash, noting that "we have to ask the questions if you were wearing your seat belt and you were on your cell phone."
As for who will be held responsible for the collision, the spokesperson continued, "Because this was a single-car accident, whatever the outcome is, obviously the car accident is considered her fault because there is no other driver that can be at fault."
This story was originally posted on Sept. 15 at 1:05 a.m. ET, and was updated on Sept. 15 at 12:33 p.m. ET.

"Note that while we don't attempt to restrict uses of the "duino" suffix, its use causes the Italians on the team to cringe (apparently it sounds terrible); you might want to avoid it"
And it one thing that everyone seems to have latched on to :)
GHI took a better approach with the FEZ Domino, don't use the *duino name, avoid all the hate while still being Arduino-Compatible.
It's also worth noting that for these basic ballistic straight up and back down rockets, there is an optimal mass to get the highest attitude, and quite often you end up carrying extra blast to hit that mass.
For onboard rocket video these days, the ContourHD 1080p is a great choice and it's shape makes it very easy to mount throuh the wall of the rockets airframe.
If you end up flying consumer electronics on a large rocket, glue/solider in all the batteries and memory cards, there is a lot of vibration even in smaller rockets that will pop things open.
Phones have a handy use though, and that's recovery. Write a little app and get it to SMS you it's GPS location when it lands. Use SMS rather than 3G as you likely be in the middle of nowhere with poor phone signal and the rocket will be lying in the only ditch for miles, sms has a better chance of getting through.
Am I the only one that things AG20 01-7 looks like a date code? Either July 2001 or 20th Jan 2007?
No public wish lists :(

Scottish Labour has been thrown into disarray just days before the announcement of the results in its leadership election.
Interim leader Alex Rowley has resigned his post and referred himself to party investigation chiefs following allegations of abuse and threats of violence to an ex-lover – claims Rowley denies.
In a statement, the Mid Fife and Central Scotland MSP said: "I totally refute these allegations and will take all steps necessary to clear my name. These allegations must be properly and thoroughly investigated in line with our party's procedures – and I will refer myself to the party so such an investigation can take place. While that investigation is carried out, I will step aside as Deputy Leader, as well as Interim Leader, of the Scottish Labour Party."
The Labour Party confirmed in a short statement: "Alex Rowley has stood aside as Interim and Deputy Leader of Scottish Labour and referred himself to the Party's internal complaints procedure regarding allegations made against him."
Rowley stepped in to run the party and to steer Labour through new leadership elections after Kezia Dugdale's surprise resignation in August.
But his interim leadership has been dogged by allegations of bias and increasingly bitter tone between MSPs supporting rival candidates Anas Sawar and Richard Leonard, has lead to claims that the party in Scotland is deeply divided.
In September secret recordings, claimed to have been made of a discussion between Rowley and a student activist in a queue for an event at the party's Brighton conference, suggested that Rowley and fellow left labour MSPs had plotted the ending of Kezia Dugdale's leadership of the party and declared his support for Richard Leonard as its new leader. The claim led to calls for Rowley to stand down as chair of an important Labour committee.
Richard Leonard's campaign for the Scottish Labour leadership has been spear-headed by Alex Rowley's daughter, Danielle Rowley, MP for Midlothian, who has refused to comment on her father's resignation.

Early, Home-Based Treatment Best for Teens with Psychotic-Like Symptoms
Young people with psychotic-like symptoms should receive immediate network-centered treatment at home and school rather than at a hospital, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Helsinki, Helsinki University Hospital (HUH) Department of Psychiatry and the National Institute for Health and Welfare, Finland.
This network-centered approach was found to be more effective than hospital-based treatment for alleviating feelings of depression and hopelessness and improving the young person's ability to function. It also helped reduce psychotic-like symptoms just as well as hospital treatment.
"The improved ability to function observed in the network-centered early intervention group is crucial, since this is usually a major challenge for people with psychotic-like symptoms," says Docent Niklas Granö, Ph.D. at the HUH Department of Psychiatry.
"A poor ability to function makes it difficult to cope with everyday tasks and keep up with one's peers. This is particularly true of those with psychotic-like symptoms or full-blown psychosis."
The study involved 56 young people with psychotic-like symptoms and an elevated risk for psychosis later in life. Twenty-eight of the participants received conventional youth psychiatric treatment offered by the Helsinki University Hospital. The other 28 received an experimental, network-centered treatment at home and school.
The home environment model was tested in the JERI (Jorvi Early Psychosis Recognition and Intervention) project, which is focused on the practice of starting treatment without delay and reducing the concrete, pressing stress factors in the young person's life.
At the study's onset, the participants were assessed for symptoms of depression and anxiety, psychotic-like symptoms, feelings of hopelessness, and the ability to function. The assessments were repeated after twelve months of treatment.
In the group receiving early network-centered treatment at home and school, depression symptoms and feelings of hopelessness decreased and the ability to function improved more than in the group receiving conventional youth psychiatric treatment. The decrease in psychotic-like symptoms was similar in both groups.
Successfully reducing feelings of hopelessness is vital as they are often associated with self-destructive thoughts, according to the researchers.
The findings of the study support the notion that young people with mental issues, particularly those with psychotic-like symptoms, benefit from early-stage treatment provided in their own environment and in cooperation with the adults in it.
"When young people receive real support with things that weigh on them and cause them stress, their mood lightens, their ability to function improves, feelings of hopelessness wane, and their recovery speeds up," says Granö.
"The advantage of the early intervention method tested in this study is that its implementation does not require new resources, only reforms to old practices."

We will help you know more about the law for Waste Management Wage & Hours. This article covers workers who's in the waste management industry. For more questions or inquiry feel free to contact us for assistance.
For wage and hour purposes, California includes employers that utilize motor vehicles to move people or objects in the category of Transportation. Examples of employers included in this category would be employers in the field of logistics, fluid transport, or a taxi service, a limousine service, employers engaged in parcel delivery, or similar service. My law firm continues to provide services and support to California employers in these industries. As a California employer in this industry, here are some general, state-law requirements and protocols of which you must be aware:
Wage & Hour Orders: Of course, California employers are subject to the minimum requirements of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. But, California's minimum wage and overtime requirements exceed Federal Standards:
1. Applicable IWC Order: Wage Order 9, which must be posted at the employer's facility.
2. Cal. Minimum Wage: $8.00/hr., as of January 1, 2008
3. Cal. Overtime Pay Requirements: Unless a specified exemption applies, time worked in excess of (8) eight hours in one day or in excess of (40) forty hours in a week or for the first eight hours of work on the seventh day must paid at the rate of one and one-half (1.5) times the employee's regular rate of pay. Any work in excess of (12) twelve hours in a single day or in excess of (8) hours on the seventh day must be compensated at the rate of two times (2.0) the employee's regular, hourly rate of pay.
4. Applicability of Federal Motor Carrier Exemption to Overtime Pay Requirements: Employers whose employees are engaged in the transportation of goods and services across state lines might be subject to an exemption from the overtime pay requirements of both state and Federal law. However, strict requirements must be met for this exception to apply. A legal review of the applicability of the exemption should first be conducted to determine whether the exemption applies.
5. Other Exemptions to Overtime Pay Requirements: An employer who misclassifies an employee as salaried may inadvertently commit numerous violations of State and Federal wage and hour laws. A legal review of such classifications is strongly recommended to avoid fines, penalties and other liability for misclassifications.
6. Meal and Rest Periods: An employer must provide the opportunity for an off-duty meal period of at least (30) thirty minutes to every employee who works more than (5) five hours daily, with a paid, (ten) minute rest period, in the middle of the shift, for every four hours worked. This means, for example, that a full-time employee, who works (8) hours per day, must have the opportunity for at least one, off-duty meal period and two, paid rest periods each day.
7. Uniforms: When uniforms are required to be worn by the employer as a condition of employment, such uniforms shall be provided and maintained by the employer, at the employer's expense.
Retention of Personnel Records and Payroll Records: Personnel records must be retained during employment and for (2) two years after separation of employment. Generally, payroll records must be maintained for (3) three years after date of creation. Payroll records include, of course, timecards and time records for each employee who is an hourly-paid employee, together with records of all payroll deductions, gross pay and net pay to each employee. Time cards and time records should include not only all hours worked, but also meal periods. Authorized rest periods need not be recorded.
Prohibition Against Discrimination/Harassment: For employers with (5) five or more employees, California law prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sex, age or sexual orientation of any person. California has a general prohibition against language restrictions in the workplace, except for business necessity. For all employers with (1) one or more employees, harassment for the same bases listed above is also prohibited. In California, any person who engages in sexual harassment in employment may be personally liable, which includes any employee, supervisor, officer, director or managing agent of a business.
Required Supervisor Training to Prevent Sexual Harassment in Employment: California requires every employer with 50 or more employees to provide its supervisors with two hours of interactive training every two years to prevent harassment in employment.
Pregnancy Leave & Family Medical Leave: California requires all employers to provide up to four months of pregnancy leave. Also, employers with 50 or more employees must provide up to (12) twelve weeks of family care and medical leave within a twelve month period, to any employee with more than 12 months of service and with at least 1,250 hours of service within the previous (12) twelve month period.
Union-Targeted Industry: This is an industry frequently targeted by the unions for organizing activity. To insure that you remain union-free, please contact my office for further guidance and assistance. For a preview of renewed, union-organizing activity, that will target your Business if the Democrats retake the White House, please click on "The Employee Free Choice Act."
This is a partial summary, not an all-inclusive list. Please consider this a general description of some applicable laws. It is not intended to provide specific, legal advice. Please contact my office for specific guidance and support on a given issue.

Talking with the disease
Hi my name is scleroderma do you see me, do you feel my presence. "Me" who are you or what are you and what do you want? Scleroderma says I'm here to give out pain, disability, depression, anxiety, fear, and anything that you'd like to let me own. "Me" I don't believe you so I'm going to put this on the back burner. So now three months pass….Scleroderma asks me again…..you feel me now? So scleroderma, I said yes, I do and this is very very terrible why would this happen? Why would you do this? Then I suddenly realized that there was no answer. It said nothing, it was all me. At this moment I realized I pretty much was this disease that I've identified myself to like it owned me, and it did. Thoughts are all really just recycled information and they can be very toxic the stuff we think about, mostly stuff we already know so why sit there and think about it? Why sit there and make yourself suffer when you already know what it is? We know what this is…..okay now what are we going to do ? So instead I said, "Scleroderma you are present in me somehow, you are a kind of part of my body not part of who I really am in my mind the thought process of thinking that happens when people get these diseases is tremendously tremendously mind body pain that can be devastating to her health…..creating unhealthy emotions that worsens the condition, in fear and these emotions that we have created toxic chemistry in our body. A different pattern something happens we don't want that we know we don't want that we all want the same thing. So when these toxic patterns occur it can absolutely destroy or awareness and are being in life and our internal fulfillness, we still have a life, a body, and whether we can use one or the other our mind or our body comes fulfillness and happiness is possible if it weren't then why would we have those emotions, weren't we given these emotions for reason? Let me tell you some things that are worse than what we have…..did you know that 1 million people don't wake up every day…..every single day. Are people starving when we throw food out, people suffering, cancer, we cannot contribute to these toxic patterns of suffering instead let's be part of the solution. What a wonderful thing to be part of something so much bigger then we can even comprehend God bless you all .

tips and tricks
Review Assistant Migration Issues
Starting from version 3.5, Review Assistant uses Microsoft's SQL Server as an engine for its back-end database. The previous versions of Review Assistant have been using SQLitefor this purpose. This article describes the problems you may encounter when migrating from SQLite to SQL Server and how to solve them.
Increasing SQLite Performance
One the major issues a developer encounters when using the SQLite DBMS in his applications is its performance issue.
Perhaps, a classic case everyone gets into when using SQLite for the first time is very slow execution of multiple INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE operations. Indeed, sequential executions of not even thousands, but hundreds of INSERTs into a table may take too long. (more…)
Resolving RAD Studio XE7 Update 1 and RAD Studio XE8 Installation Crash
Since RAD Studio XE7 Update 1 was released, the ETTracker.dll library was added to installation. Its purpose is obscure, but its presence in the installation caused serious problems for Windows XP users when installing RAD Studio XE7 Update 1. (more…)
Agile Code Review Process with Review Assistant
Summary: This article describes a scenario of Review Assistant usage in agile development process. The peculiarity of this scenario is that every team member is allowed to join a code review.
How to Debug Android Apps via Wi-Fi in RAD Studio XE5
The top news of the Embarcadero company in 2013, as well as the direct reason for RAD Studio XE5 release, was certainly support for Android. Android is now of rather great interest for programmers, therefore its support in the Embarcadero's product in a certain way increased activity in the Delphi community.
With the release of ХЕ5, in a variety of specialized blogs, there appeared publications concerning development of "my first application" for the new platform, in which it is described in details how to create, run, and debug a project. Due to the specifics of the products produced by our company, while preparing for the recent release, we were most interested in the debug process, some peculiarities of which we want to discuss here.

Delphi XE2 FireMonkey HD Applications Raise Runtime Error 231 on Mac OS X
Many users have encountered the problem when running FireMonkey HD Applications on Mac OS X without 3D hardware HAL. When this application is run, it either freezes or produces the following error:
Runtime error 231 at 000169AD
We have researched this problem and found a solution from Embarcadero.
Entity Framework: Tips and Tricks, part 4
We continue post series about Entity Framework usage. We consider the following questions in this article:
- MS SQL Server and Oracle – how to use both in one EF project?
- DDL is generated with wrong keywords.
- What is the difference between .edml and .edmx models?
- Why setting the StoreGeneratedPattern attribute to "Identity" or "Computed" in Visual Studio 2010 does not work as expected?
- How can I avoid loading an entire child collection?
Using Oracle and MS SQL Server in Entity Framework applications simultaneously
Some of our users that are working with Entity Framework need to combine Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server in one application. Entity Framework is a powerful ORM with cross-database possibilities, so there is nothing extraordinary in this task.
However, there is a set of pitfalls and difficulties that are not obvious at first glance.
One of our users, Paul Reynolds, has made a series of posts based on his experience for multiple database support in EF:
Preparing for Multiple Databases
Database Caveats
SSDL Adjustments
Database Agnostic LINQ to Entities
Entity Framework: Tips and Tricks, part 3
This article continues series of publications about non-trivial Entity Framework situations encountered by our users.
We consider the following questions in this article:
- Why Oracle raises an exception about too many local sessions
participating in global transaction when using TransactionScope?
- How can I optimize SQL queries using Entity Framework?
- How can I perform cascade deleting of objects in Entity Framework?
- How can I get the default value of a database field in my Entity Framework project?
Entity Framework Tips and Tricks, Part 2
In this article we continue series of publications about non-trivial situations encountered by our users. Some of these situations are the restrictions of the used platforms, and some simply require a nonstandard approach to solving the problem.
We consider the following questions in this article:
- How can I execute native SQL using Entity Framework?
- How can I use Self-Tracking Entities (STE) or POCO in the Devart Entity Model?
- How can I use Oracle stored procedures with a boolean parameter in Entity Framework?
- How to work with UNION in Entity Framework

NHS England has run the scheme to subsidise costs for GPs working for out-of-hours and 111 services since 2015. In 2015 and 2016 it was backed with £5m, while for 2017 funding increased to £10m.
This current scheme runs from 1 October 2017 until 2 April 2018 - offering cover for the cost of professional indemnity for any additional out-of-hours or unscheduled work taken on by GPs if this is not provided by the employer.
But BMA leaders say pressure on the NHS - and high out-of-hours indemnity costs - will not end with winter. Unless the scheme is extended, the available out-of-hours workforce will drop sharply from April, the union warns.
Out-of-hours sessions
A BMA survey of more than 500 GPs found that four out of five work out-of-hours sessions, and that 63% had carried out extra sessions during the period covered by the winter scheme.
Of GPs working out-of-hours, 82% said indemnity support was a major factor in their decision to take on extra work, and 80% said they would reduce sessions or stop working out-of-hours entirely if the scheme was not extended beyond 2 April. More than two thirds had not booked out-of-hours sessions beyond April.
GPC deputy chair Dr Mark Sanford-Wood said: 'What's clear from this study is that GPs want to work out-of-hours sessions so they can provide the best possible care for their patients. However, their ability to do this is being put at risk as the winter indemnity scheme comes to an end.
'GPs already face a huge financial burden in the face of rising indemnity fees which are even more inflated for out-of-hours work. This added expense to cover them for out-of-hours services often proves unaffordable and prevents shifts being filled and desperately needed doctors from attending patients at these times.'
An NHS England spokeswoman said: 'NHS England has invested £110m supporting GPs with rising and additional indemnity costs, ensuring these don't stand in the way of doctors being able to offer patients appointments when most needed.
'This includes both during normal working hours and through the winter indemnity scheme, the busy winter out of hours period, which this year was extended to include the coming Easter bank holiday weekend.'
The £110m figure cited by NHS England includes £20m over three years for the winter scheme, plus £30m for 2016/17 indemnity costs and £60m made available through the latest contract deal for 2017/18.

History of RunFit:
RunFit launched the spring of 2006 as a bold joint initiative aimed at curbing the growing epidemic of childhood obesity by creating a running program for children at after-school (or before school) programs across New Mexico.
RunFit is designed to help youth of all sizes, fitness and ability levels utilize the discipline of running to improve health, build character and uplift the spirit. After-school programs such as RunFit play a vital role in the lives our communities by keeping kids' safe, creating healthy habits and helping working families.
RunFit is a fun, free and intensive program which motivates and trains elementary school students to run one mile to 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) without stopping, through active participation on an after school (or before school) running team. Participants learn to set and achieve challenging personal goals and are awarded with incentives for attendance and improvement and culminating in local running events.
Thank-a-volunteer campaign!
The Santa Fe Half Marathon is fortunate to have some of the friendliest and hardest-working volunteers around. More than 50 volunteers help us on race morning to ensure you feel welcomed, are fully informed; have a safe, successful and positive running experience, and more!

Under pressure over its long-standing ban on gays, the Boy Scouts of America is proposing to lift the ban for youth members but continue to exclude gays as adult leaders.
The Scouts announced Friday that the proposal would be submitted to the roughly 1,400 voting members of its National Council at a meeting in Texas the week of May 20.
At least one Bay Area official Friday said the change does not go far enough.
The organization, which has long prohibited gay youth and adults from participating in scouting, launched a major a review of the policy in February.
The review prompted an "outpouring of feedback," scouting officials said. "Scouting's review confirmed that this remains among the most complex and challenging issues facing the BSA and society today," officials said in a statement. "While perspectives and opinions vary significantly, adults in the Scouting community and teens alike tend to agree that youth should not be denied the benefits of Scouting," the statement said.
The organization's National Executive Committee, with about 1,400 voting members, will vote in May on a proposed change removing the restriction denying membership to youth on the basis of sexual orientation alone.
The restriction on adults who are "open or avowed homosexuals" would remain in place.
The policy also requires boys to adhere to a code of behavior and values including belief in God.
"The resolution also reinforces that Scouting is a youth program and any sexual conduct, whether heterosexual or homosexual, by youth of Scouting age is contrary to the virtues of Scouting," the group's statement today said.
State Sen. Leland Yee, who in October called on the Boy Scouts to end their policy and bestow the title of Eagle Scout on Moraga Boy Scout Ryan Andresen, today rejected the proposal. "The time for incremental steps and half measures is past," Yee said in a statement.
"There is simply no fair reasons for the Boy Scouts of America to deny participation to anyone due to their sexual orientation." "It is unacceptable for them to continue to hedge instead of embracing the values of equality and tolerance," Yee said.
