The world is slowly going back to normalpandemic. The sports world is just the same, most leagues have begun playing games again. Central Connecticut women’s soccer is one of these teams. It has been 1.
The team was scheduled to play on 2 March but a positive case on the opposing team, Bryant, meant the game had to be postponed, meaning the Blue Devils will have to wait another week before their season can get underway.
With so much uncertainty surrounding when matches will be played, D’Arcy says that this might be an even shorter season than was once thought.
“We’re hoping it is postponed and not cancelled,” D’Arcy said. “There are some gaps where we could play the game. From a soccer point of view we want to play but from an administrative point of view we’ll have to get permission.”
“games over the course of the year where we will not be at full strength because of COVID-19. With that in mind, it is hard to put emphasis on each game or even the season as a whole.”
Not all the games are streamed during a normal season, meaning that you must be at the stadium to watch the action. By streaming the matches on Facebook, it fans can watch.
The team comes into this season with one of the deepest squads they have had in years. Over the winter they were able to play inter squad games with teams of 11.
“It is nice because it means my family back home can watch,” McLaughlin said.
Despite the All-American tag, McLaughlin is just happy to finally be playing soccer again after such a lengthy break.

The traditional ‘Iro and Buba’ piece is a sophisticated nightmare for many Nigerian ladies. While one cannot deny the elegance of the attire, one can’t overlook its tediousness also. Then Lara Ade-Afun stepped into the scene in 2015 with one ambition; to make Iro and Buba, Abayas also with contemporary western fabrics. And so Iro Lagos was born.
The brand has been described as a ‘sexified’ version of our traditional attire. Lara’s flagship store has been thriving well in the very competitive fashion space in Nigeria. She shares her business journey and ethics with CP-Africa.
Lara Ade-Afun, MD Iro Lagos
What is the story behind the choice of business and brand?
The concept as a whole started in February of 2015.
The traditional fabrics used to sew Iro and Buba didn’t appeal too much to my figure and often times made me feel frumpy. I found that I preferred to wear clothing that consist mainly of stretch fabric because it takes form without adding volume except if the intention is to add volume.
We started Iro Lagos with 7 pieces of different styles and gifted them to different ladies from quite a vast spectrum in terms of Age, Figure and general interests. We also conducted an informal survey from the Ladies and we got positive reactions all together.
What were you doing before the launch of Iro Lagos?
Taking it back a decade or so, I was working in the banking sector in England and then I moved back to Nigeria about 7 years ago, started a small dessert catering business known as Cupyd Patisserie. Cupyd Patisserie is thriving and is a sister company to Iro Lagos.
Having been in business for almost a decade now, what is your greatest business lesson so far?
Apart from the importance of developing world class customer service, one must always put everything in writing no matter how trivial. It will start you off on a solid foot.
What is your biggest challenge as a business owner in Lagos?
There is a common biblical saying, “There is no rest for the wicked” with Lagos being the fashion capital of West Africa, creating a “Wicked” brand does not stop at just being creative. One must constantly think beyond the periphery of the box. It involves a lot of mental work which then translates to hard graft. It is challenging but it also serves as good training for life in general.
What keeps you going still despite the challenges?
The Buzz of it all, the reactions I get when we bring out something new, generally just watching a dream unfold, hoping that it will continue to gain momentum as it were.
Iro Lagos has 6 celebrity ambassadors. Is it an exclusive luxurious brand? Who is your average walk-in customer?
I can say that Iro Lagos is unique in the sense that it covers almost equal parts of a wide spectrum of women ranging from low to high income earners, mid-twenties all the way up to old age pensioners. So the law of the average does not particularly apply to Iro Lagos.

But in general, it should be noted here, as in previous cases: If variations take place, either in consequence of economies in the constant capital, or in consequence of fluctuations in the price of raw materials, they always affect the rate of profit, even though they may leave the wages, and therefore the mass and rate of surplus-value, untouched. They change the magnitude of the C in s’ v/C, and thus the value of the whole fraction. It is therefore immaterial, in this case, in contradistinction to what we found to be the case in our analysis of surplus-value, in which sphere of production these variations
take place, whether the lines of production affected by them produce articles of food for laborers, or constant capital for the production of such articles, or not. The deductions made here apply just as well if these variations occur in the production of articles of luxury, and by the production of articles of luxury I mean all production not serving for the reproduction of labor-power.
Since the rate of profit is represented by s/C, or s/(c+v), it is evident that everything which causes a variation of the magnitude of c, and thereby of C, must also bring about a variation in the rate of profit, even if s and v, and their mutual proportions, remain unaltered. Now, raw materials constitute one of the principal portions of constant capital. Even in industries which consume no raw material, in the strict meaning, it enters as auxiliary material, or as a component part of machinery, etc., and fluctuations in its price influence to that extent the rate of profit. If the price of raw material
falls by the amount d, then s/C, or s/(c+v), become s/(C-d), or s/((c-d)+v), in other words, the rate of profit rises. On the other hand, if the price of raw material rises, then s/C, or s/(c+v), become s/(C+d), or s/((c+d)+v), in other words, the rate of profit falls. Other circumstances remaining unchanged, the rate of profit falls and rises, therefore, inversely as the price of raw material. This shows, among other things, how important the low price of raw material is for industrial countries, even if fluctuations in the price of raw materials were not accompanied by variations in the selling sphere of the product, that is to say, quite aside from the relation of demand to supply. It follows furthermore that foreign trade influences the rate of profit, even aside from its influence on wages through the cheapening of the necessities of life, for it affects the prices of raw or auxiliary materials consumed in industry or agriculture. It is due to the imperfect understanding of the nature of the rate of profit and its specific difference from the rate of surplus-value that economists (like Torrens) give a wrong explanation of the marked influence of the prices of raw material on the rate of profit, as demonstrated by experience, and that on the other hand economists like Ricardo, who cling to general principles, misapprehend the influence of such factors as the world’s trade on the rate of profit.
The use of flour in the cotton industry may serve as an illustration of the importance of a reduction in the price of an article, which, although not strictly raw material, is an auxiliary and, of course, at the same time one of the principal elements of food. As long ago as 1837, R. H. Greg
*13calculated that the 100,000 power looms and 250,000 hand looms then operated in the cotton mills of Great Britain consumed 41 million lbs. of flour in the smoothing of chains. To this was added a third of this quantity for bleaching and other processes. The total value of the flour so consumed was placed by him at 342,000 p.st. per year for the preceding ten years. A comparison with the prices of flour on the continent showed that the raise in the price of flour forced upon the manufacturers by the corn-laws amounted alone to 170,000 p.st. per year. For 1837, Greg estimated it at a minimum of 200,000 p.st., and he mentions the fact that one firm had to pay 1,000 p.st. more per year for flour. In consequence of this “Large manufacturers, careful and calculated business men, declared that 10 hours of labor per day would be enough, if the corn-laws were repealed.” (Rep. Fact., Oct. 1848, page 98.) The corn-laws were repealed. Also the duties on cotton and other raw materials. But no sooner had this been accomplished than the opposition of the manufacturers to the Ten Hours Bill became more violent than ever. And when the ten hour day in factories nevertheless became a law soon after, the first result was an attempt to reduce wages all around.
The value of the raw materials and auxiliary substances passes entirely, and all at one time, into the value of the product in whose creation they are consumed, while the elements of fixed capital transfer their value only gradually to the product in proportion as they are worn away. It follows that the price of the product is influenced to a far higher degree by the price of raw materials than by that of fixed capital, although the rate of profit is determined by the total value of the capital, regardless of how much of this capital is consumed in the product. But it is evident—although we mention this merely incidentally, since we are still assuming that commodities are sold at their values, so that fluctuations of price caused by competition do not concern us here—that the expansion or restriction of the market depends on the price of the individual commodity and is inversely proportioned to the rise or fall of this price. For this reason we note in reality
that a rise in the price of raw material is not accompanied by a corresponding rise of the price of the product, nor a fall in the price of the raw material by a corresponding fall of that of the product. Consequently the rate of profit falls lower in one case, and rises higher in the other, than it would if products were sold at their value.
Again, we know that the raw materials and auxiliary substances, the same as wages, form parts of the circulating capital and must be continually reproduced in their entirety through the sale of the product, while the machinery is renewed only to the extent that it wears out, a reserve fund being accumulated for that purpose. And it is not so essential that each individual sale should contribute its share to this reserve fund, so long as the total annual sales contribute their
annual share. We see, then, once more that a rise in the price of raw material can curtail or clog the entire process of reproduction, since the price realised by the sale of the commodities may not suffice to reproduce all the elements of these commodities. Or, it may render a continuation of the process on a scale fitting for its technical basis impossible, so that either a portion of the machinery remains idle, or the whole machinery works only a part of the usual time.
Finally, the expense due to waste varies in direct proportion to the fluctuations in the price of raw material, rises and falls with them. Of course, there is a limit also in this case. In 1850 it was still reported, in the factory reports for April, 1850, page 17, that one source of considerable losses through the raising of the price of raw material would hardly be noticed by any one who is not a practical spinner, namely losses through waste. The reporting inspector had been informed that a rise in the price of cotton implied a greater rise in the expenses of the spinner than is indicated by the difference in price. The waste in the spinning of coarse yarns amounts to fully 15%. If this percentage causes a loss of ½ d. per lb. when cotton is worth 3½ d., then the loss increases to 1 d. per lb. as soon as cotton rises to 7 d. per lb. But when, as a result of the American Civil War, cotton rose to a height not equalled in almost a century, the report read differently. We learn from the factory reports of October, 1863, page 106, that the price then paid for cotton waste, and the return of the waste to the factory as raw material, offered some compensation for the difference in the loss through waste between Indian and American cotton. This difference amounted to 12½%. The loss in working up Indian cotton is 25%, so that really this cotton costs the spinner one-fourth more than he paid for it. The loss through waste was not so important while American cotton was quoted at 5 or 6 d. per lb., for it did not exceed ¾ d. per lb. But it became a matter for serious consideration, when cotton cost 2 sh. per lb. and the loss through waste amounted to 6d.
By the tie-up of capital we mean that a certain portion of the total value of the product must be reconverted into the elements of constant and variable capital, if production is to
proceed on the same scale. By the release of capital we mean that a portion of that part of the total value of the product which had to be reconverted into constant or variable capital up to a certain time becomes disposable and superfluous, provided production is to continue on the same scale. This release or tie-up of capital is different from the release or tie-up of revenue. If the annual surplus-value of a certain capital C is equal to x, then a reduction in the price of commodities consumed by the capitalists would suffice to procure the same enjoyments as before by means of x – a. In other words, a portion of the revenue equal to a is released, and may serve either for the extension of consumption or the reconversion into capital (for the purpose of accumulation). Vice versa, if x + a is needed in order to continue the same scale of living, then this scale must either be reduced or a portion of revenue equal to a and previously accumulated must be drawn upon as revenue.
But aside from this capital in process of new investment, a large portion of the already functioning capital is engaged in the sphere of circulation, while another portion is busy in the sphere of production. One portion exists on the market
in the shape of commodities waiting to be converted into money; another exists in the shape of money of some kind waiting to be reconverted into elements of production, finally, a third portion exists in the sphere of production, either in the primitive form of means of production (raw materials, auxiliary substances, half-wrought articles purchased on the market, machinery and other fixed capital), or as products in process of manufacture. The effect of appreciation or depreciation of any of these depends in a large measure on the relative proportions of these things. Let us leave aside, for the sake of simplicity, all fixed capital, and let us consider only that portion of constant capital which consists of raw materials, auxiliary substances, partly wrought articles, and commodities in the making or in a finished state.
If, then, a rise in the price of raw materials finds on the market a considerable quantity of finished commodities, whatever may be the state of their perfection, the value of these commodities rises, and consequently the value of the existing capital is enhanced. The same is true for the supply of raw materials in the hands of the producers. This appreciation of value may indemnify the individual capitalist, or even an entire sphere of capitalist production, for the loss caused by a fall in the rate of profit incidental to a rise in the price of raw materials, or it may even more than make good that loss. Without entering into the details of the effects of competition, we may state for the sake of completeness that, in the first place, when the supplies of raw material held in stock
are considerable, they tend to oppose a rise in the price of raw materials at the place where they are produced; and in the second place, when the half-wrought articles and finished goods press very heavily upon the market, they prevent the price of these things from rising in proportion to the price of their raw materials.
As for the other portion of constant capital, such as machinery, and fixed capital in general, the appreciation of values taking place in them, and referring mainly to buildings, real estate, etc., they cannot be discussed without an understanding of the theory of ground rent, and do not belong in
this chapter, for this reason. But they have a general importance for the question of depreciation.
There are, in the first place, constant improvements which lower relatively the use-value, and therefore the exchange-value, of existing machinery, factory equipments, etc. This process has a dire effect especially during the first epoch of newly introduced machinery, before it has reached a certain stage of maturity, when it becomes continually antiquated before it has had time to reproduce its own value. This is one of the reasons for the irrational prolongation of the working time customary at such periods, of working with day and night shifts, in order that the value of the machinery may be reproduced in a shorter time without having to place the figures for wear and tear too high. On the other hand, if a short period of effectiveness of machinery (its short term of life compared to anticipated improvements) is not compensated in this way, then it yields too much of its value to the product by moral wear, so that it cannot compete even against hand-labor.
In the case of agriculture it is evident that the same causes which raise the price of the product or lower it must also raise or lower the value of capital, since this capital consists
to a large degree of this product, such as grain, cattle, etc.
Let us assume, for instance, that 500 p.st. were required at first to employ 500 laborers per week, and that now only 400 p.st. are needed for the same purpose. If the mass of value
produced in either case was 1,000 p.st., then the mass of surplus-value produced per week in the first case was 500 p.st., and the rate of surplus-value 500/500, or 100%. But after the reduction of wages the mass of surplus-value will be 1,000-400, or 600 p.st., and its rate 600/400, or 150%. And this raising of the rate of profit is the only effect produced for any one who starts a new enterprise in this sphere of production with a variable capital of 400 p.st. and a corresponding constant capital. But in a business already existing when this takes place, the depreciation of the variable capital does not only increase the rate of surplus-value from 500 to 600 p.st., and the rate of surplus-value from 100 to 150%, but 100 p.st. of the variable capital are released and enabled to exploit more labor. The same amount of labor is then not alone advantageously exploited, but the release of 100 p.st. makes it possible to exploit more laborers with those 500 p.st. at the increased rate.
Now take the opposite case. Take it that the original proportion of division, with 500 laborers, was 400 v + 600 s, making 1,000, so that the rate of surplus-value was 150%. The laborer, in that case, received 4/5 p.st., or 16 shillings per week. Now, if in consequence of an appreciation of variable capital 500 laborers cost 500 p.st. per week, then each one of them will receive 1 p.st. per week, and 400 p.st. can employ only 400 laborers. If the same number of laborers as before is to be employed, then we must have 500 v + 500 s, or 1,000. The rate of surplus-value would have fallen from 150 to 100%, which is by one-third. If some new capital were now to be invested, the only effect felt by it would be this lower rate of surplus-value. Other circumstances remaining the same, the rate of profit would also have fallen, although not to the same extent. For instance, if c equals 2,000, we should have in the one case 2,000 c + 400 v + 600 s = 3,000. The rate of surplus-value would be 150%, the rate of profit 600/2400, or 25%. In the second case we should have 2,000 c + 500 v + 500 s = 3,000. The rate of surplus-value would be 100%, the rate of profit 500/2500, or 20%. However, for a capital already
invested there would be a twofold effect. Only 400 laborers could be employed with 400 p.st., at a rate of surplus-value amounting to 100%. They would then produce only 400 p.st. of surplus-value. Furthermore, since a constant capital of 2,000 p.st. requires 500 laborers for its operation, 400 laborers could operate only a constant capital of 1,600 p.st. If production is to continue on the same scale as before and one-third of the machinery prevented from remaining idle, then the variable capital must be increased by 100 p.st., in order that 500 laborers may still be employed. And this can be accomplished only by tying up a hitherto disposable capital, so that a portion of the accumulation intended for an extension of production serves then merely for stopping a gap, or a portion reserved for revenue is added to the old capital. A variable capital increased by 100 p.st. produces then 100 p.st. less of surplus-value. More capital is required to employ the same number of laborers, and the surplus-value yielded up by each laborer is at the same time reduced.
The release and tie-up of variable capital, analysed in the foregoing, is the result of a depreciation or appreciation of the elements of variable capital, that is to say, of the cost of reproduction of labor-power. However, variable capital might also be released, if the development of the productivity, with the rate of wages unchanged, results in the possibility of getting along with fewer laborers for the operation of the same amount of constant capital. Vice versa, additional variable capital may be formed, if the productive power declines and more laborers are needed to operate the same mass of constant capital. On the other hand, if a portion of capital formerly employed in the capacity of variable capital is transferred
to the constant capital, so that there is merely a different distribution between the components of the same capital, this has its influence on the rate of surplus-value and of profit, but does not belong in this discussion of the release and tie-up of capital.
We have seen in volume II that once that the commodities have been converted into money, sold, a certain portion of this money must be reconverted into the material elements of constant capital, and this in proportion to the technical nature of any given sphere of production. In this respect, the most important element in all lines—aside from wages, or variable capital—is the raw material, including the auxiliary substances, which are particularly important, in all lines of production that do not use any raw materials in the strict meaning of the term, for instance in mining and extractive industries in general. That portion of the price which has to make good the wear and tear of machinery plays mainly an ideal role in calculation, so long as the machine is at all in workable condition. It does not matter greatly whether it is paid and replaced by money to-day or to-morrow, or in any other section of the period of turn-over of the capital. It is different with the raw material. If the price of raw material
rises, it may be impossible to make it good fully out of the price of the commodities after deducting the wages. Violent fluctuations of price therefore cause interruptions, great collisions, or even catastrophies in the process of reproduction. It is especially the products of agriculture, raw materials taken from organic nature, which are subject to such fluctuations of value in consequence of changing yields, etc., leaving aside altogether the question of the credit-system, for the present. The same quantity of labor may, in consequence of uncontrollable natural conditions, the favor or disfavor of seasons, etc., be incorporated in very different quantities of use-values, and a definite quantity of these use-values may have very different prices. If the value
x is represented by 100 lbs. of the commodity
a, then the price of one lb. of
a equals x/100. If it is represented by 1,000 lbs., the price of one lb. is x/1000, etc. This is one of the elements in the fluctuations of the price of raw materials. A second element, which is mentioned at this point only for the sake of completeness, since competition and the credit-system are still outside of the scope of our analysis, is this: It is in the nature of the thing that vegetable and animal substances, which are dependent on certain laws of time for their growth and production, cannot be suddenly augmented in the same degree as, for instance, machines and other fixed capital, or coal, ore, etc., whose augmentation, assuming the natural requirements to be present, can be accomplished in a very short time in an industrial country. It is therefore impossible, and under a developed system of capitalist production even inevitable, that the production and augmentation of that portion of the constant capital which consists of fixed capital, machinery, etc., should run ahead of that portion which consists of organic raw materials, so that the demand for these last materials grows more rapidly than their supply, and their price rises in consequence. This rising of prices carries with it the following results: 1) A shipping of raw materials from great distances, seeing that the rising price covers greater freight rates; 2) an increase in their production, which, however, for natural reasons, will not be felt until the following year; 3) a using up of various
hitherto unused accessories, and a better economising of waste. If this rise of prices begins to exert a marked influence on production and supply, the turning point has generally arrived at which the demand lets up on account of the protracted rise of the raw material and of all commodities made up of it, so that a reaction in the price of raw material takes place. Aside from convulsions due to the depreciation of capital in various forms, this reaction is also accompanied by other circumstances which will be mentioned immediately.
Now, if these high prices collapse, because their rise had caused partly a falling off in the demand, partly an extension of production here, an importation of goods from remote and hitherto little noted or neglected regions of production in another place, and with them an excess of the supply over the demand, especially if this excess comes in with the old prices, then we have a result which offers various points of view. The sudden collapse of the price of raw materials checks their reproduction, and consequently the monopoly of the original producing countries, which are favored by the best conditions, is restored. It may be restored with certain limitations but still it is restored. The reproduction of the raw materials proceeds indeed, after the first impulse has been given, on an enlarged scale, especially in countries which have more or less of a monopoly of this production. But the basis on which production takes place after the extension of machinery,
etc., and which, after some fluctuations, has to serve as the new point of departure, is very much enlarged by the occurrences of the last cycle of turn-over. At the same time the barely increased reproduction has been considerably checked in the secondary countries of supply. For instance, it can be easily shown by a reference to the export tables that, during the last thirty years (up to 1865) the production of cotton grows in India, whenever there has been a falling off in the American, and that there is after awhile a sudden drop and falling off in the Indian. During the period in which raw materials are high, the industrial capitalists get together in associations for the purpose of regulating production. So they did, for instance, after the rise of cotton prices in 1848, in Manchester, and a similar move was made in the production of flax in Ireland. But as soon as the immediate impulse has worn off, and the principle of competition reigns once more supreme, according to which one must “buy in the cheapest market” (instead of stimulating production in the most favored countries, as those associations attempt to do, without regard to the monetary price at which those countries may just happen to supply their product), the regulation of the supply is left once more to “prices.” All thought of a common, far-reaching, circumspect control of the production of raw materials gives way once more to the belief that demand and supply will mutually regulate one another. And it must be admitted that such a control is on the whole irreconcilable with the laws of capitalist production, and remains for ever a platonic desire, or is limited to exceptional co-operation in times of great stress and helplessness.
*16 The
superstition of the capitalists in this respect is so crude that even the factory inspectors lift their hands in surprise, in their reports. The variation of good and bad years, of course, leads at times to the production of cheaper raw materials. Aside from the direct effect of this on the extension of the demand, an added stimulant is found in the previously mentioned influence on the rate of profit. Thereupon the aforesaid process of a gradual overtaking of the production of raw materials by that of machinery, etc., is repeated on a larger scale. An actual improvement of raw materials in such a way that not only their quantity, but also their quality would come up to expectations, for instance supplying cotton of American quality from Indian fields, would necessitate a long continued, progressively growing, and steady European demand (quite aside from the economic conditions under which the Indian producer labors in his country). As it is, the sphere of production of raw materials is extended only convulsively, being now suddenly enlarged, and then violently contracted. All this, and the spirit of capitalist production in general, may be very well studied in the cotton crisis of 1861-65, which was further aggravated by the fact that raw materials were at times entirely missing which are one of the principal factors of reproduction. The price may also rise while there is an abundant supply, namely in the case that this abundance takes place under difficult conditions. Or, there may be an actual shortage of raw material. It was the last condition which originally prevailed in the cotton crisis.
According to R. Baker, factory reports for October, 1858, pages 56-61, the condition of business was then better. But the cycle of good and bad times was shortened with the increase of machinery, and to the extent that the demand for raw materials increases, the fluctuation in the conditions of business occur more frequently. For the time being confidence had been restored after the panic of 1857, and the panic itself seemed almost forgotten. Whether this improvement would be lasting, depended, in Baker’s opinion, to a large extent on the price of raw materials. He saw indications that the maximum had already been reached, beyond which manufacture becomes less and less profitable, and finally ceases altogether to yield any profits. Taking the prosperous years in the worsted business, 1849 and 1850, it will be seen that the price of English carded wool was 13 d., and of Australian, 14 to 17 d. per lb., and that the average price of English wool, for the decade from 1841 to 1850, never exceeded 14 d., nor that of Australian 17 d. But at the beginning of the disastrous year 1857, Australian wool was quoted at 23 d. It fell in December, at the time of the worst panic, to 18 d., but rose once more in the course of the year 1858 to 21 d. English wool likewise began in 1857 with 20 d., rose in April and September to 21 d., fell in January, 1858 to 14 d., and rose subsequently to 17 d., so that it stood 3 d. per lb. higher than the average of the aforementioned 10 years. This shows, in Mr. Baker’s opinion, that either the failures of 1857, which were due to similar prices, have been forgotten,
or that barely enough wool is produced to keep the existing spindles running. Or the prices of fabrics may experience a lasting rise. But he has seen in his experience that spindles and frames multiplied in an incredibly short time, not only in numbers, but also in speed; that the English wool export to France rose at almost the same rate, while the average age of sheep in England and other countries was steadily reduced, since the population was rapidly increasing and breeders were trying to turn their stock into money as quickly as possible. He often was seriously alarmed, when he saw people, ignorant of these facts, invest their ability and their capital in enterprises whose success depended on the supply of a product which can be increased only according to certain organic laws. The conditions of supply and demand of all raw materials seems to explain to Mr. Baker many fluctuations in the cotton business as well as the condition of the English wool market in the fall of 1857 and the subsequent commercial crisis.
The same is true of the cotton industry. In the same report for October, 1858, we read that, since the fixing of the hours of labor in factories, the amounts of raw material consumed, of production, and of wages in all textile industries have been reduced to a simple rule of three. The inspector quotes from a recent lecture by Mr. Payns, who was then mayor of Blackburn, on the cotton industry, in which the industrial statistics of that region were very accurately compiled. The mayor said in substance that every actual horse-power operates 450 self-actor spindles with preparatory spinning machinery, or 200 throstle spindles, or 15 looms for cloth 40 inches wide, with machinery for reeling, warping and smoothing. Every horse-power employs two and a half laborers in spinning, or 10 in weaving. Their average wages are fully 10½ shillings per capita per week. The worked up average numbers are Nos. 30-32 for the warp and Nos. 34-36 for the woof. Assuming the product of one week’s spinning to be 13 ounces per spindle, the weekly output of yarn would be 824,700 lbs., which imply a consumption of 970,000 lbs., or 2,300 bales of cotton valued at 28,300 p.st. In a circle of five miles around Blackburn the weekly consumption of cotton amounted to 1,530,000 lbs., or 3,650 bales, at a cost-price of 44,625 p.st. This is one-eighteenth of the entire cotton spun in the United Kingdom, and one-sixteenth of the entire mechanical weaving.
The inspector says that according to the calculations of Mr. Payns the total number of cotton spindles in the United Kingdom would be 28,800,000, and it would require 1,432,080,000 lbs. of cotton to keep them going at full speed. But the cotton imports, after deducting the exports, amounted in 1856 and 1857 only to 1,022,576,832 lbs. so that there must have been a shortage of 409,503,168 lbs. Mr. Payns, who had the kindness to discuss this point with the inspector, held that a computation of the annual consumption of cotton, based on the consumption of the Blackburn district, would total up too high, on account of the difference, not only of the numbers spun, but also of the excellence of the machinery. He estimated the total consumption of cotton per year in the
United Kingdom at 1,000 million lbs. But if he is correct, and there is actually a surplus-import of 22½ million lbs., then the inspector thinks that demand and supply are nearly balanced, without taking into account the additional spindles and looms which are about to be erected in Mr. Payns’ own district, according to him, and the same applies probably to other districts as well.
1845. The complaints are beginning. For some time the inspector hears general complaints among the manufacturers over the depressed state of their business. During the last six weeks, he says, various factories have begun working short time, generally 8 hours instead of 12. This seemed to become general. There had been a great rise in the price of cotton, while the price of the products had not alone not risen, but fallen to a lower figure than that before the rise in cotton. The great increase in the number of cotton factories during the preceding four years must have caused a strong increase in the demand for raw material and a large supply of products on the market. Both of these things must have operated to depress profits, so long as the supply of raw material and the demand for the product remained unchanged. But they actually had a far stronger influence, because the supply of cotton had recently been insufficient, and the demand
for the product had let up in various inland and foreign markets.
The factory report for October, 1847, page 30, states that Mr. Baker presented very interesting details concerning the rise in the demand for cotton, wool, and flax, in recent years, caused by the expansion of these industries. He held that the increased demand for these raw materials, particularly at a time when their supply had fallen far below the average, was sufficient to explain the prevailing depression in those lines of business, without reference to the insecurity of the money-market. This view was fully supported by the personal experience of the writer of the report, and by statements made to him by experts in business. All these various lines of business had been very much depressed, when discounts were still practicable at 5% and less. On the other hand, the supply of raw silk was abundant, prices reasonable, and the business correspondingly brisk until a few weeks previously, when doubtless the money-panic affected not only the dealers in raw silk, but still more their principal customers, the manufacturers of custom made goods. A glance at the published official
reports showed that the cotton industry had increased by almost 27% during the preceding three years. As a result, cotton had risen in round figures from 4 d. to 6 d. per lb., while yarn, thanks to the increased supply, stood only a trifle above its former price. The wool industry commenced to expand in 1836. Since then it had grown by 40% in Yorkshire, and still more in Scotland. The increase in the worsted industry was still larger.
*18 The calculations showed in its case, for the same length of time, an expansion of more than 74%. The consumption of raw wool had, therefore, been very large. The linen industry showed since 1839 an increase of about 25% in England, 22% in Scotland, and almost 90% in Ireland,
*19 the consequence of this, and of the failure of flax crops, was that the price of the raw material rose by 10 p.st. per ton, while the price of yarn had fallen by 6 d. per bundle.
1850. October. The factory report for October states on page 15 that the price of cotton continues to cause considerable depression in this line of industry, especially for such goods as require a considerable portion of the cost of production to be spent for raw material. The great rise in the price of raw silk has led to an aggravation of the situation in many instances, also in this line. And on page 33 of the same report we learn that the committee of the Royal Association for
Flax Culture in Ireland was of the opinion that the high price of flax, together with the low level of prices of other agricultural products, had safeguarded a considerable increase in the production of flax for the ensuing year.
It now became evident that the cotton industry had produced too much in 1860. The effect of this made itself felt for the next few years. The factory report for December, 1863, page 127, states that it took between two and three years
for the world-market to absorb the overproduction of 1860. And the factory report for October, 1862, pages 28 and 29, says in so many words: The depressed condition of the markets for cotton goods in Eastern Asia, in the beginning of 1860, had a corresponding influence on the business in Blackburn, where on an average of 30,000 mechanical looms are almost exclusively engaged in the production of goods for this market. The demand for labor was, therefore, already restricted at this point many months before the effects of the blockade made themselves felt. Fortunately, many factories were thereby saved from ruin. The supplies rose in value so long as they were held in stock, and this prevented the appalling depreciation which is otherwise inevitable in such a crisis.
An inspector writes in the factory report for October, 1863, page 63: A manufacturer thinks that, so far as the estimate of the cotton consumption per spindle is concerned, I did not sufficiently appreciate the fact that, when a cotton is dear, every manufacturer of ordinary yarns (say up to No. 40, mainly from 12 to 32) spins as fine grades as he possibly can, that is to say, he will spin No. 16 instead of 12, or 22 instead
of 16, etc. And the weaver who works up these fine yarns, will raise his calico to the regular weight by adding so much more glue. This expedient is now used to a shameful degree. I have it on good authority that there are ordinary shirtings for export weighing 8 lbs. per piece, of which 2 lbs. were glue. Textures of other kinds are often given as much as 50% of glue, so that that manufacturer does not lie by any means who boasts of becoming a rich man by selling his fabrics at less money per pound than he paid for the yarn of which they are made.
We read furthermore in the same place: I have also been told that the weavers ascribe the growth of disease among themselves to the glue used in the woof of East-Indian Cotton and not merely consisting of flour, as heretofore. This substitute for flour is said to have the very great advantage of increasing the weight of fabrics considerably, so that 15 lbs. of yarn, after being woven, weigh 20 lbs. (This substitute was ground talcum, called China clay, or gypsum, called French chalk.) The wages of the weavers (meaning the laborers) have been very much reduced by the employment of substitutes for flour in the making of weaver’s glue. This glue renders the yarn heavier, but also stiff and brittle. Every thread of the yarn passes in the loom through the bobbin, whose strong threads keep the woof in position. The stiffly glued woof continually causes breaks in the thread of the bobbin. Every break causes a loss of five minutes to the weaver for repairs. The weavers have to repair such breaks ten times as often as formerly, and the loom naturally turns out so much less during working hours.
In Ashton, Stalybridge, Oldham, etc., the working hours have been reduced by at least one-third, and are reduced still more every week. This reduction of the hours of labor is in many instances accompanied by a reduction of wages. (Page 13.) In the beginning of 1861, a strike took place among the mechanical weavers in some parts of Lancashire. Several manufacturers had announced a reduction of wages by 5 to 7.5%. The laborers insisted that the scale of wages should be maintained and the hours of labor reduced. This was
not granted, and a strike was called. After one month, the laborers had to give in. But then they got both. Aside from a reduction of wages which the laborers finally accepted they also worked short time in many factories.
A very serious inconvenience in the employment of East-Indian cotton, such as the factories must use at this time, is that the speed of the machinery must be considerably reduced with it. During the last years, everything has been tried to increase the speed, so that the same machinery might do more work. However, the reduced speed hits the laborer as much as the manufacturer. For the majority of the laborers are paid by the piece, the spinners receiving so much per lb. of yarn spun, the weavers so much per piece woven. And even the others, who work on weekly wages, will suffer a reduction through the restriction of production. According to the researches of the inspector, and the data received by him, referring to the wages of the cotton employes during the year, there is an average reduction of 20% in some cases as much as 50%, compared to the wages which were in vogue in 1861. (Page 13.) The amount earned depends on the quality of
the material worked up. The condition of the laborers, so far as earnings are concerned, is much better now (October, 1863) than at the same time last year. The machinery has been improved, the raw material is better known, and the laborers overcome the difficulties better with which they had to struggle in the beginning. In the previous spring, the inspector was in a sewing school in Preston (a charity institution for unemployed). Two young girls, who had been sent to a weaving establishment on the strength of a promise that they would be able to make 4 shillings per week, asked to be readmitted to the school and complained that they could not make 1 shilling per week. The inspector has had information concerning self-acting minders, that is to say, men who operate a few self-actors, who had earned 8 sh. 11d. after 14 days of full employment, and their house-rent was deducted from this sum. The manufacturer returned one-half of this rent to them as a gift. (How generous!) The minders carried home the amount of 6 sh. 11 d. In some places the self-acting minders earned from 5 to 9 sh. per week, the weavers from 2 to 6 sh. per week, during the last months of 1862. At the time of the report there was a healthier condition of things, although even then the earnings in most districts had decreased still more. Other conditions contributed to the scanty earnings, aside from the shorter staple of East-Indian cotton and its impurity. For instance, it had become the custom to mix plenty of cotton waste with the Indian cotton, and this increases, of course, the difficulties for the spinner. Owing to the shortness of the fiber, the threads break more easily in drawing out the mule and twisting the yarn, and the mule cannot be kept going so regularly. Furthermore, one girl frequently can watch but one loom, because she must pay more attention to the threads. But few of them have more than two looms. In many cases the wages of the laborers have been reduced by 5, 7.5, and 10%. In the majority of cases the laborer must handle his raw material as best he may, and try to make wages at the ordinary scale to the best of his power. Another difficulty with which the weavers have sometimes to struggle is that they are supposed to make good
fabrics out of bad materials, and are fined by deductions from their wages, if the work is not all that is desired.
Wages were miserable, even in places where full time was worked. The cotton employes willingly offered themselves for all public labors, drainage, road building, stone breaking, street paving, which they did in order to get their keep from the authorities (although this amounted practically to an assistance for the manufacturers. See volume I, chapter XXV, 3.) The whole bourgeoisie stood guard over the laborers. If the worst of a dog’s wages were offered, and the laborer refused to accept them, then the Assistance Committee struck him from their list. It was in a way a golden age for the manufacturers, for the laborers had either to starve or work at any price profitable for the bourgeois. The Assistance Committees acted as watch-dogs. At the same time the manufacturers, in secret agreement with the government, hindered emigration as much as possible, either for the purpose of having their capital, invested in the flesh and blood of laborers, ready at hand, or of safeguarding the squeezing of rent out of the laborers.
The laborers were willing to perform any work for which they were employed in consequence of the Public Work Acts. The principles according to which industrial occupations were assigned, varied considerably in different cities. But even in places where work in the open air was not absolutely regarded as a labor test, this labor was either compensated with the bare ordinary charity sum, or so insignificantly better that it actually became a labor test. (Page 69.) The Public Works Act of 1863 was to remedy this evil and to enable the laborer to earn his wages as an independent day laborer. The purpose of this Act was threefold: 1) To enable local
authorities to borrow money from the loan treasury commissioners (with the consent of the president of the state’s central poor boards; 2) to facilitate improvements in the cities of the cotton districts; 3) to secure work and remunerative wages for the unemployed laborers. Up to the end of 1863, loans to the amount of 883,700 p.st. had been granted under this Act. (Page 70.) The enterprises started were mainly canalisation, road building, street paving, reservoirs for water works, etc.
Mr. Henderson, president of the committee of Blackburn, wrote with reference to this to factory inspector Redgrave, that in his entire experience in the course of this period of suffering and misery nothing had struck him more emphatically or given him so much pleasure as the serene willingness with which the unemployed laborers of his district accepted the work offered to them by the city council of Blackburn pursuant to the Public Works Act. A greater contrast could hardly be imagined than that between the cotton spinner, who formerly worked as a skilled man in the factory, and the day-laborer, who now works in a depth of 14 or 18 feet on a drainage canal. (They earned thereby about 4 to 12 sh. per week, according to the size of their families, and this last enormous amount had to provide sometimes for a family of eight. The gentlemen of the bourgeoisie derived a double profit from this. In the first place, they secured money for the improvement of their smoky and neglected cities at exceptionally low interest. In the second place, they paid wages to the laborers at a scale far below the ordinary.) Mr. Henderson thinks that this ready willingness on the part of the laborers to accept the offered employment implied great self-denial and consideration, and deserved all honor, since they were accustomed to an almost tropical temperature, to work in which skill and accuracy counted for more than muscular strength, and to wages which were double, or sometimes treble, of what they could earn now. In Blackburn the men were tried at all possible kinds of labor in the open air. They dug through a stiff and heavy clay soil to a considerable depth, they did drainage work, broke stones, built roads, made excavations
for street canals to a depth of 14, 16, and sometimes 20 feet. Frequently they stood in mud and water from 10 to 12 inches deep, and they were exposed to a climate whose wet cold was not exceeded, or perhaps not equalled, in any other district of England. (Pages 91 and 92.) The attitude of the laborers has been almost faultless, their willingness to accept work in the open air and to get along on it.
1864. April. Occasionally complaints about lack of laborers are heard in various districts, especially in certain branches, for instance weaving. But these complaints are due as much to the low wages which the laborers may earn in consequence of the bad kinds of yarn as to an actual scarcity of laborers in this particular line. Numerous disputes over wages took place during the preceding month between some manufacturers and their laborers. The inspector regrets that strikes occurred far too frequently. The effect of the Public Works Act is now resented by the manufacturers as a competition, and as a result the local committee of Bacup has suspended its activity. For although all the factories are not yet running, there has already been a lack of laborers. (Factory Report, April, 1864, pages 9 and 10.) It was indeed high time for the manufacturers to act. In consequence of the Public Works Act the demand for laborers grew so much that many a factory hand was making 4 to 5 shillings per day in the quarries of Bacup. And so the public works were gradually suspended; this new edition of the
Ateliers nationeaux of 1848, which had this time been opened in the interests of the bourgeoisie.
Although the very reduced wages (of the fully employed), the actual earnings of the laborers in the different factories, have been given, it does not follow that they earn the same amount week after week. The laborers are exposed to great fluctuations at this place, in consequence of the continual experiments made by the manufacturers with different kinds and proportions of cotton and waste in the same factory. The “Mixtures,” as they are called, are frequently changed, and the
earnings of the laborers rise and fall with the quality of cotton mixtures. At times they earned only 15% of their former wages, and in one or a couple of weeks wages fell to 50 or 60%. Inspector Redgrave, who makes this report, then proceeds to figures of wages selected from practical life. The following examples may suffice:
A, weaver, family of 6 persons, employed 4 days in the week, 6 sh. 8.5 d.; B, twister, 4.5 days per week, 6 sh.; C, weaver, family of 4, 5 days per week, 5 sh. 1 d.; D, slubber, family of 6, employed 4 days per week, 7 sh. 10 d.; E, weaver, family of 7, employed 3 days, 5 sh., etc. Redgrave continues in substance: These data deserve attention, for they prove that labor would become a misfortune in some families, since it reduces not only the earnings, but depresses them so low that they become totally insufficient to satisfy anything but a small part of a family’s absolute necessities, unless additional assistance were given in cases where the earnings of a family do not reach the amount which would be granted to them if all of them were unemployed.
In one extended district, in which cotton waste is used in large quantities as an admixture to Indian cotton, the spinners have had their wages reduced by 5%, and lost besides from 20 to 30% by working up Surat and waste. The weavers have dropped from four looms to two. In 1860 they made 5 sh. 7 d. on each loom, but in 1863 only 3 sh. 4 d. The fines, which amounted to from 3 to 6 d. per spinner on American cotton, now run as high as 1 sh. to 3 sh. 6 d. In one
district, in which Egyptian cotton was used, mixed with East-Indian, the average earnings of the mule spinners in 1860 was from 18 to 25 sh., while it is only from 10 to 18 sh. now. This not exclusively due to deteriorated cotton, but also to the decreased speed of the mule, in order to give to the yarn a stronger twist, for which extra payment according to the wage scale would have been made in ordinary times. (Pages 43, 44, 45-50.) Although East-Indian cotton may have been worked here and there at a profit for the manufacturers, the wage list on page 53 shows that the laborers suffer from it, compared with 1861. If the use of Surat becomes a settled fact, the laborers would demand the same wages as in 1857. But this would seriously affect the profits of the manufacturers, unless it would be balanced by the price of either the cotton or the products.
The Factory Question and the Ten Hours Bill. By R. H. Greg. London, 1837, page 115.
The report makes a mistake in the last sentence. Instead of 6d. for loss, through waste, only 3d. should be allowed. This loss amounts indeed to 25% with Indian, but only to 12½ to 15% with American cotton, and this last kind is meant, the same percentage being correctly stated for the price of 5 to 6d. It is true, however, that the percentage of waste increased at times considerably, for American cotton brought to Europe during the closing years of the Civil War.—F. E.
For illustrations see Babbage, among others. The usual expedient, a reduction of wages, is employed also in this instance, and so this continual depreciation works out quite contrary to the dreams of the harmonious brain of Mr. Carey.
Since the above was written (1865), competition on the world-market has been considerably intensified by the rapid development of industry in all civilized countries, especially in America and Germany. The fact that the rapidly and enormously growing productive forces grow beyond the control of the laws of the capitalist mode of exchanging commodities, inside of which they are supposed to move, this fact impresses itself nowadays more and more even on the minds of the capitalists. This is shown especially by two symptoms. First, by the new and general mania for a protective tariff, which differs from the old protectionism especially by the fact that now the articles which are capable of being exported are the best protected. In the second place it is shown by the trusts of manufacturers of whole spheres of production for the regulation of production, and thus of prices and profits. It goes without saying that these experiments are practicable only so long as the economic weather is relatively favorable. The first storm must upset them and prove, that, although production assuredly needs regulation, it is certainly not the capitalist class which is fitted for that task. Meanwhile the trusts have no other mission but to see to it that the little fish are swallowed by the big fish still more rapidly than before.—F. E.
It goes without saying that we do not, with Mr. Baker, explain the wool crisis of 1857 out of the disproportion between the raw material and the product. This disproportion was itself but a symptom, and the crisis was general.—F. E.
A careful distinction is made in England between the woollen manufacture, which spins carded yarn from short wool and weaves it (main centre Leeds), and the worsted manufacture, which makes worsted yarn from long wool and weaves it (main seat Bradford, in Yorkshire).—F. E.
This rapid expansion of the manufacture of linen yarn by machinery, in Ireland, gave the death-blow to the exportation of the linen made of hand-made yarn in Germany (Silesia, Lusatia, and Westphalia).—F. E.

November 17, 2010
As promised, here it is. And in no surprise, I will say that I would rather have five years of Jayson Werth than seven years of Carl Crawford. First point: The length of the contract. Using a term that I used first but Tim C most recently used, it's less likely that Werth becomes a Slurpee (good at the beginning, an icy shell of its former self at the end) than Crawford does, because the market will likely not dictate he gets more than five or six years. Crawford will get more. I anticipate the market being reasonably scared away by Werth's temperment and injury history, but sometimes that's the kind of thing you need to take a risk on for production. Crawford will likely command 8 years and $150 million; Werth may be had for half of that. And honestly, I fear filling a starting position and a roster spot for Carl Crawford at age 37 for no reason other than that he's making $20 million and was really good eight years before.Plus, let's revisit the Werth injury conundrum one more time. He suffered his injury in March 2005. He was 26 at the time. He played the injury-sapped 2005 season and missed the 2006 season completely. He played half a season at age 25 in 2004, when he hit 16 home runs in less than 300 at-bats. If you want to rag on Werth for saying that he did nothing until he was 28, that's fine. It is also true that Boston's sweetheart 46 has done nothing except hit .353 in 30 games against minor leaguers and steal one base in the World Series before his 27th birthday.Crawford, on the other hand, accomplished a lot by this age. In fact, he's only 23 months older than the Red Sox' young player with a lot of speed, youth, upside, and potential. But let's call it the Cal Ripken rule. He's played 150 games six out of the last eight years, and has played 140 in five out of the last eight. On artificial surface (though it was strictly field turf for several years now). Crawford has played 460 more games than Werth has. You gotta think it takes a toll on the body.In fact, there are decades of baseball history that would suggest just that, especially for fast guys. Tim Raines stole thirty bases just once after the age of 32. Kenny Lofton stole thirty bases zero times after the age of 32. Even Rickey Henderson only accomplished that task twice after 34, regressing from a Hall of Famer to a league-average player for the last decade of his career. Andre Dawson's base-stealing days were over, done, finished by the age of 29, and the only reason he stayed relevant was the fact that he could hit the ball out of the park as well. By the time he played in Boston (age 38, the age Crawford would be at the end of his contract), the poor guy could barely freaking walk. The examples go on. Jose Offerman was once a league leader in steals. Considering that Crawford, while good, is NOT Rickey Henderson, it is reasonable to assume that using a similar trajectory, he may become league average or below for the second half of this contract. I think his trajectory will be a bit kinder due to medical advances, but he's not going to be doing this forever. He might keep on hitting .300 with a low-to-medium walk total and less than 20 home runs a year. But is that something worth paying a fortune for? Yes, he's durable. But you can ask me this over the last year and a half: you're always durable until the first time you get hurt. Blocking an outfielder spot all the way to 2018 for a high-paid shell is not a good thing. You think the Red Sox would rather have JD Drew or David Murphy right now?Also, Jayson Werth's tools are more aligned with the Red Sox' needs. Without even getting into the debate of whether speed is a worthwhile tool to have in baseball (notorious 46-hater Tony Massarotti points out that the Giants were last in the majors in steals this year), the team already has a fast guy in 46 at the top of the lineup (or the top of the DL). But assuming they lose Beltre, do they have a single guy who can hit 30 home runs? Maybe Drew will with the bullpens pushed in, especially if the Red Sox can find a way to only play games on Friday nights. But this is a team who will be unable to hit home runs, period. While this is not necessary to be successful (hello late-90s Yankees), it helps. Plus, it's not like Werth is Adam Dunn here. He can run. He can play defense, too. He can go after fly balls hard in situations that are actually useful for the team instead of costing the team the season on a foul sac fly. Thought you were gonna ask me about that.I am not denying that Carl Crawford has tools. I am not even going to deny that Crawford will be a better player over the next one, four, or even five years. Years 6, 7, and 8 scare the crap out of me, though, while years 4 and 5 of Jayson Werth, where he still won't be hitting Crawford's CURRENT mark of 1235 games played, scare me considerably less.Enjoy yo day.
DVA good post and the best part of it is this--the years. You're absolutely right about the fact that Crawford will get more years and more money per year (in all likelihood). In all honesty though, I'd rather have neither guy--use that money to sign Beltre or Martinez--neither Crawford nor Werth are as good as either of those guys. PFMaybe you're just a little antsy because Jeter hasn't re-signed yet (don't worry--where else is he going to go?) and so I won't get offended that you seemed to confuse my calling Lebron James 'gutless' and a 'coward' and confusing that with the idea that he's a bad player, or plays on bad teams. The CavsThe teams that finished first and second in wins last year were in the Eastern Conference. In 2008-09, three or the four winningest teams in the NBA were in the East. In 2007-08 the top two records in the NBA were in the East. This will be the fourth straight season where the West is weaker than the East.--the Gunn
I was thinking about the Werth/Beltre thing briefly last night, probably about 80% of the way through writing this post. I was thinking, maybe that key 30-HR hitter is already right in front of us. But then I realized that there were years other than 2004 and 2010 in his career, and those years do not look good. That's why I decided to not pull the plug on this post.Also, for the record, I do think 5 years of Crawford might be better for the team than 5 years of Werth. But you cannot purchase 5 years of Crawford in this current free agent market.Lebron would tell you he plays on bad teams.
gunn - if jeter signs elsewhere, i'm not sure i would be much above indifferent. that's a story for another day, and while i obviously (emphasis added) would like to have him back from a leadership/consistency perspective, as well as the fact that i like him for a bounceback, i also don't think it's so important that if he went elsewhere it would crush the yankees chances of winning the 2011 world series. especially if the money isn't right. antsy would be the antithesis of how i'm feeling regarding jeter right now.i think we both know that team(s) with the best record(s) is not the only thing that dictates best conference in the nba (or any league), and that it is entirely too narrow and uninformative statistic for this analysis. and that's because of the obvious - if you're in a softer overall conference, it should be easier for the better teams to have better records (since you play in conference twice as much as out of conference). teams with lesser records in other conferences, and more importantly definitely doesn't even speak to the strength of the conference after the first 2-3 teams, which is what we are talking about here in an 8 team playoff. the celtics were the best team in the nba in 2008, no doubt. but having them, and even 1-2 other teams that dominate the east, doesn't mean the east is tougher than the west. you have to look at how at least the first 8-10 teams match-up overall. you and i both spend a lot of time watching and reading about the nba. it was a pretty widely discussed and accepted analysis that the west was deeper and and better than the east, and i don't know how i could have seen that and you missed it. if that's the case i don't think we need to debate it. the east has never at any point in the last 5 years been able to put forth a league as deep as LA, new orleans, san antonio, utah, houston, phoenix, dallas, denver a few years ago. comparable teams in the east were washington, toronto, philly in the bottom of the playoffs. think about what the talent comparison of those teams was a few years ago. it's not even close.i wasn't only referring to you with the lebron comments (because many more commented on his inability to win), but in addition to those things you, and others, did call him a "quitter". and it's not impressive, or difficult, to beat a quitter. and you may not have said the cavs were a bad team, but you don't have to because i will come close. the cavs were not a bad team, but they were not a really, really good team either. able to rack up regular season wins, but exposed against tougher teams because it was close to a one man show. the fact that this type of team was the main competition for the celtics in the east is not impressive. the fact that there was barely anybody in the conference after them (a little detroit, a little orlando, a quick flirtation with atlanta) speaks to a conference that lacked depth, and really lacked everything besides 1-2 good teams at the top.
Kind of between PF and Gunn here- I may have posted this yesterday- but I think last year was the turning point where East > West. The top four in the East- BOS, ATL, ORL, CLE- were in my mind above #2-#8 in the West. And the Lakers, top dogs, were at about the level of those four teams. Top heavy, like mentioned regarding some previous seasons, but with four teams there I think it overtook the West.DV, signing anyone at Crawford's age for 8 years is too much. But would the Sox really sign this player for 8 years? I understand that his 'market-contract' may turn out to be as such. But are the Red Sox interested in the player for such a length? Perhaps if the bidding gets there and Crawford is adamant about the length the Sox just drop out, rendering that concern just about moot. I think the relevant question is to compare the contracts the Sox would sign the players to- and I suspect they would back off an 8-year deal. At what length does signing Crawford make more sense than signing Werth to five?
PFI definitely called Lebron a quitter. Your connection between being a quitter and being a loser is more than fair. That said, the Cavs rolled the Lakers twice last year. They just had a bad match-up with the Magic in 2009 (nobody to match up with Howard). Last year? They just packed it in Games 5 and 6.DVBeltre has not been the most consistent offensive threat. But he's played in two MASSIVE ballparks. And he has had one bad contract year which means he's not exactly a turn it on/turn it off guy. I'm not saying he'll be an MVP candidate every year, but it's fair to expect him to hit 20-29 homers, play great defense, and rack up a lot of extra base hits.--the Gunn
timc - as i alluded to yesterday, i would definitely accept the argument that last year things started to change. it was the first time in a while that it wasn't west>east. i would say it was pretty close to west=east. this year it is shaping up to be a bigtime east>west, as gunn pointed out to get this whole thing started yesterday. but prior to last year, it had been a few years of consistent, and in some cases dramatic, west>east. i mean not even close/debatable. akin to saying the yankees and red sox are better than the blue jays and orioles. just something that was commonly accepted.
gunn - absolutely. and like i said, it's not like we are dealing with a bad team. the cavs had one of the best players in the league and won a lot of games. everyone knows how i feel about the 7 game effort the cavs/lebron put forth in 2008 against the celtics. but they weren't better than the celtics, and they weren't better than a handful of teams in the west. last year i didn't watch that series and say "wow, the celtics really have to work to win these games against the cavs." they just dominated them the last few games. and the cavs were one of the best the east had to offer.you original point that the celtics, and everybody in the east, have a tough road this year is well taken. certainly tougher than the west. i was just pointing out that prior to this year, and certainly prior to last year, the roles really were reversed. the west was a tougher league with better players and better teams that frankly was a lot more exciting to watch, especially come playoff time.
how about felix hernandez

The X360Sync Application Server runs the proprietary X360Sync backend server software, which brokers sync events among desktop clients including file servers. It is dependent on the PostgreSQL database, SQLite databases, and the raw binary data stores. The X360Sync serverture (Private Cloud) or it can be provided by X360Sync’s hosted cloud infrastructure (SaaS).
The X360Sync Web Server is an open-sourced web server software that is used to power the web portal. The Apache server is dependent on the X360Sync server, PostgreSQL, and SQLite databases.
The Apache sdepends up- bases.
API tokens are unique identifiers that grant access to an API for a customized period of time. When an API token expires, a new token must be obtained through a new API request. In X360Sync, API tokens are used for authenticating with the X360Sync API. For increased security, administrators can set a time limit for API tokens using policy settings.
The desktop client (also called Synced Tool) is an application installed and registered on a user's Windows or Mac machine. The desktop client grants the user access to his or her files, folders, and Team Shares. A desktop client can also be installed and registered on a file server or an LDAP server to allow X360Sync to control remote folder structures and other settings.
Dual hostnames is an X360Sync Private Cloud setting that allows administrators to configure two separate hostnames for the X360Sync service and Apache service, providing a unique Internet address for each separate service. Under this configuration, both the X360Sync service and the Apache service can allow external connections through port 443, which improves security for web browser communicationX360Sync data is protectboth in transit and at rest.
Favorite files are files that have been fully downloaded to an X360Sync iOS app. The app will be aware of files that are not favorites, but only favorite files will be fully downloaded and available to be edited offline. Users can mark files as favorites, or they can unfavorite files, based on space limitations and access needs.
In X360Sync, file stores hold the actual encrypted data for each file revision. Metadata, such as filename, modified date, and other information, is stored separately in root stores, to improve accessibility and scalability.
A Group is a collection of user accounts that act as a single entity within X360Sync. Administrators can organize user accounts into Groups to improve user management. For example, when creating Team Shares, administrators can add one single Group to the Team Share, rather than selecting and managing separate accountsthat aims to ensure continual service for a long period of time. By default, private cloud partners install the X360Sync server, Apache web server, and the PostgreSQL database server on a single machine. For advanced private cloud environments—intended to support a high number of users—a high availability environment can be configured, where the Apache server and PostgreSQL database server are installed on separate machines, and the X360Sync server is replicated on multiple machines. Ultimately, this eliminates a single-point of failure at the X360Sync level, and allows for improved service for large-scale environments.
A hostname is a unique name assigned to any machine connected to a network. In the Settings tab of the administrative web portal, administrators can specify an organization’s host name. This hostname is used by the X360Sync Server to generate links for login emails, forgotten passwords, and so forth.
rvice that provides a way to connect, search, and modify account directories. In X360Sync, any LDAP authentication source, including Active Directory, can act as a source for user accounts within the system. When an authentication source is configured, an imported user can log in to the web portal using the credentials attached to his or her authentication source account.
Multitenancy refers to a system or software that houses multiple independent entities in one single environment. X360Sync's multitenant architecture allows administrators to create separate organizations and suborganizations for customers or groups, and manage all of these organizations in the administrative web portal.
The X360Sync Outlook add-in is an application that can be installed and registered on a Windows machine that is currently hosting Microsoft Outlook. After it is registered, the Outlook add-in allows users to generate and email share linksze directly from within a Microsoft Outlook application. With this feature, users can share links to synced items, as well as local content, without leaving their email platform.
Privacy Mode is a feature that prevents organization administrators from viewing data in an organization’s personal folders, team shares, and backups. When Privacy Mode is turned on for an organization, it cannot be turned off. The purpose of this feature is to allow organization administrators to successfully manage X360Sync for end users without accessing or viewing potentially sensitive information.
A professional services automation (PSA) platform helps professionals, such as IT service providers, develop, sell, bill, and implement technology solutions. X360Sync can integrate with the ConnectWise PSA tool to help administrators track alerts or bill customers. X360Sync can also integrate with Autotask to help manage and track alerts.
Revisions are versions of a file. X360Sync stores a revision for each file stored in the system, allowing users to view or restore older revisions if necessary.
The Software as a Service (SaaS) model is a hosting option that allows the X360Sync service to be completely housed and maintained by Axcient. With the SaaS model, partners can manage X360Sync without needing to install and manage the server. As an alternative to a SaaS environment, the X360Sync service can be installed in a private cloud environment, which gives partners the ability to manage their own server within their internal infrastructure.

5 8 LDespite widespread vaccination, its incidence has been rising alarmingly, and yet, the physiology of B. pertussis remains poorly understood. We combined genome-scale metabolic reconstruction, a novel optimization algorithm, and experimental data to probe the full metabolic potential of this pathogen, using B. pertussis strain Tohama I as a reference. Experimental validation showed that B. pertussis secretes a significant proportion of nitrogen as arginine and purine nucleosides, which may contribute to modulation of the host response. We also found that B. pertussis can be unexpectedly versatile, being able to metabolize many compounds while displaying minimal nutrient requirements. It can grow without cysteine, using it can grow on organic acids, such as citrate or lactate, as sole carbon sources, providing in vivo demonstration that its tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is functional. Although the metabolic reconstruction of eight additional strains indicates that the structural genes underlying this metabolic flexibility are widespread, experimental validation suggests a role of strain-specific regulatory mechanisms in shaping metabolic capabilities. Among five alternative strains tested, three strains were shown to grow on substrate combinations requiring a functional TCA cycle, but only one strain could use thiosulfate. Finally, the metabolic model was used to rationally design growth media with >2-fold improvements in pertussis toxin production. This study thus provides novel insights into B. pertussis physiology and highlights the potential, but also the limitations, of models based solely on metabolic gene content.IMPORTANCE The metabolic capabilitieere investigated from a systems-level perspective. We constructed a comprehensive genome-scale metabolic model for B. pertussis and challenged its predictions experimentally. This systems approach shed light on new potential host-microbe interactions and allowed us to rationally design novelMost importantly, we also uncovered the potential for metabolic flexibility of B. pertussis (significantly larger range of substrates than previously alleged; novel active pathways allowing growth in minimal, nearly mineral nutrient combinations where only the carbon source must be organic), although our results also highlight the importance of strain-specific regulatory determinants in shaping metabolic capabilities. Deciphering the underlying regulatory mechanisms appears to be crucial for a comprehensive understanding of B. pertussis's lifestyle and the epidemiology of whooping cough. The contribution of metabolic models in this context will require the extension of the genome-scale metabolic model to integrate this regulatory dimension.

Home > Blog > Transport and Travel Law > How aviation laws could change after a passenger couldn't order a 7-Up
In 2009 Mr Michel Thibodeau and his wife embarked on two separate round-trip flights leaving from Canada and travelling out of the country. When Mr Thibodeau failed to successfully order a 7-Up on the flight in French, he didn't just complain about the poor service on the airline, but decided to sue Air Canada for more than half a million dollars for breachi.
Under the OLA, which is a quasi-constitutional statute, Canadians are entitled to communicate with federal institutions in either French or English. The OLA protects this right and clarifies other Air Canada was privatised in 1989, the airline retains its language obligations, as it had formerly been a crown corporation.
Mr Thibodeau alleged that the basis of his claim didn't simply relate to being given a Sprite instead of a can of 7-Up, but that he and his wife were denied services in French at least 8 times during the course of their two round-trip flights on Air Canada and its contract carrier, Jazz Air. The additional complaints made by Mr Thibodeau included there being no French services on a flight from Charlotte to Toronto, and baggage and flight announcements in Toronto being made only in English.
Mr Thibodeau, who is fluently bilingual, stated, "if I take a flight and I'n't dad. I, I have a right to be served in French".
Air Canada admitted that they breached their duties under the OLA by failing to employ a bilingual flight attendant and by failing to provide announcements in both English and French.

Although it's a thoughtcrime to recognize this today, it is undoubtedly true that our country's English settlers gave us our laws, our folkways, our customs, and our language.

The English, especially the Puritans, may have also bequeathed to America a fondness for the macabre tale.

That sounds to me like way too much carbs and not enough protein. It sounds like a good regimen for someone who's traisomething, but not for the average person looking to lose weight. Actually, it doesn't sound like enough protein for someone in training either...
The Zone diet tells you to eat 40% carbs, 30% protein, and 30% fats. That's a good ratio to keep to lose weight. However, it's still important to try and make those carbs complex, from whole grains, rather than simple carbs like white bread and processed sugars. The carbs should also come from fruits/veggies. The fats should be "good fats" for the most part, rather than trans fats, cholesterol, etc.
Thursday, February 23, 2006, 12:35 PM
I agree - 60-30-10 does not sound right. Not enough protein. All the articles I've read suggest 40-30-30, which is what I aim for. I always struggle to get enough protein, and if I have enough calories at the end of the day but need more protein I've been eating egg whites. 4 egg whites is only around 60 calories, but has 14 grams of protein. Thursday, February 23, 2006, 12:50 PM
The fat is way too high
Granted on the SAD the fat content is too high, but cutting down to 20% or less fat per day is great. There is no reason to sacrifice carbs (or protein for fat). I personally aim for 65-15-20 (carbs-fat-protein), but I'm more of an athlete. If I went for 30% fat I'd be above 65g of fat a day -- and the body really doesn't need that much fat. Teh 40-30-30 is a vestige of the zone diet -- which was never proven to work. Ultimately everyone is different. Once my fat cals get above 25% and my protein below 15% I start getting flabby -- my body starts burning muscle rather than building it. Carbs are good for you (not the evil that Atkins, et al made them up to be) because they are the direct source of fuel for metabolism (and your brain). Most people would agree that elite athletes are in great shape; I promise you they aren't getting 30% of their calories a day from fat (unless they are football players).

There is such a stress on "getting enough protein" in this country. As a vegetarian, it is the constant question people ask. Many links I have found recommend 0.8 grams of protein for every 2.2 pounds of weight. Example: A 140 pound adult woman would need around 51 grams of protein in a day. That's 204 calories from protein - eleven percent of total calories on an 1800 calorie per day diet.
For heavier exercisers, 1.2-1
Example: 140 adult woman could need up to 115 grams of protein. That's 460 calories, or 25 percent of calories from protein on an 1800 calorie diet.

For the first two weeks, they were told to first eat however many calories/day that would allow them to maintain their weight, with a 50/15/35 percent split in calories consumed from carbs/protein/fat. The second two weeks, they ate the same amount of calories as the first two weeks, but broke them up into 50/30/20 percent from carbs/protein/fat. The final two weeks, they were told to eat as many calories as they wanted, but to keep the proportions in the 50/30/20 percent from carbs/protein/fat breakdown. In the last two weeks, people spontaneiously ate less - 440/day less! They felt full faster, and stayed feeing that way longer, so they didn't have to eat as much.
The human body is amazing - we abuse it multiple ways every single day and it keeps on going. I would guess that it is capable of putting up with a huge range of diet profiles with minimal complaining. However, the results of that study imply to me that if you are trying to decrease your intake of calories, increasing the percent of those calories that come from protein might be a relatively easy way to do so. The study authors suggest 30% of cals from protein.

I'm temporarily on Atkins to bust a plateau, and I've done it for as long as 4 months in the past. I eat approximately 60% protein, 37% fat, 3% carbs and I'll say this -- I don't think protein fills you up. I think the combination of protein and carbohydrates creates that feeling. I'd hazard a guess that the carbs hit you first and the protein sustains it.
Atkins aside, I normally consume ~100g protein a day, which represents 20-30% of my daily calories. I'm a heavy gym user. I don't keep track of fat and carbs, but it's a safe guess that they fall into a healthy distribution most days because I like both :)
Protein sure helps keep me feeling full for longer. As for carbs - carbs are pure fuel for you body. If you aren't active enough, and if you don't burn off all the carbs you are eating, they will be stored on your body as fat. Protein helps build muscle. If you aren't getting enough protein and you are working out doing weight-bearing activity, your body will borrow protein from itself (from your heart). That is why anorexics are prone to heart attacks.
I realize this information doesn't help determine how much of each your body needs. But with so many theories out there, I'm not sure anyone knows how to figure it out!

I am a vegan -- and I know full well the .8 g/kg recommendation I find that when I shoot for 20% protein I wind up at about 17% per the day. That gives me about 80 grams/day (I'm near 150 lbs) -- near 1.2g/kg. I feel better in this range because I am a multisport athlete. Also, if I consume a lot of fat, my workouts become rather crappy - I wear out much more quickly. Carbs are ultimately the best source for the body to function and perform at its peak. If I eat a breakdown of 15% proten/25% fat/60% carbs and go for a hard swim the next day I'll tire after about 3,000 yeards. On the other hand, if the day before I am at 15/15/70 I can go for infinitely long -- I usually will stay until when the pool closes -- and clock 4500-5000 yards. I think that it is a personal thing. People need to become more aware of their own bodies and what fits them best. My advice is to stick to a certain split for about 10 days -- then switch it up and see how you feel best. Change ratios accordingly.
Saturday, February 25, 2006, 1:53 PM
just a little clarification: protein won't keep you full for long unless it is eaten w/ a fat or a complex carb . . . .
carbs definitely CAN keep one full for a long time . . .try a high fiber cereal if you don't believe me.

Steven Spielberg's West Side Story Trailer Released During The Oscars
By Jenna Anderson - April 25, 2021 08:37 pm EDT
The 93rd Academy Awards took place this Sunday, bringing an unconventional take on the annual celebration of all things movies. In addition to honoring the best in movies from the past year, the award show promised to champion the overall theatrical experience, and even offer brand-new looks at upcoming blockbusters. One of the first movie trailers confirmed for the event would be the first trailer for West Side Story, Steven Spielberg's remake of the iconic 1961 film and musical of the same name. On Sunday, 20th Century Studios revealed the epic first look at the new West Side Story, which you can check out below.
— 20th Century Studios (@20thcentury) April 26, 2021
In West Side Story, (Shazam!: Fury of the Gods' R The project is a reimagining of William's Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet set in 1950s New York, with Tony as Romeo and Maria as Juliet, and The Sharks and The Jets standing in for the families Montague and Capulet. The original Broadway production earned six Tony Awards nominations, including Best Musical in 1957.
The adaptation is a surprisingly personal project for Spielberg, who has had connections to the original project for years.
West Side Story will also star Curtiss Cook as Abe, Maddie Ziegler as Velma, and Ana Isabelle as Rosaliaest Sideh.

Christy Westerdale, Joseph Chandler, and their daughter packed their bags and hopped on a Greyhound bus to move back home to California.
Halfway through the trip, a semitruck hit the Greyhound bus head-on.
"I don't remember anything about the accident. I just feel blessed. Thank God we're alive," said Westerdale.
The impact from the crash knocked Westerdale out, and she was badly injured.
She broke several bones, her placenta erupted and the heart rate of her unborn twins began to drop.
"My family was all wrapped up in chairs, blood everywhere. It was awful,” said Chandler.
Chandler, who was also knocked out, regained consciousness and knew he needed to jump into action.
"I grab Christy, I think she's dead at the time. And I’m just trying to get her body off the bus. When she wakes up, I'm just like, 'Alright Christy, we need to stand up, we need to go,'” said Chandler.
To make matters worse chandlers pregnant cousin and her little girl were also on the bus.
"I finally get to my cousin, and she's like 'Cousin I'm dying. I'm dying.' And I was like, 'No you’re not baby girl, we're getting off this bus,'” said Chandler.
Sellars also broke several bones, but luckily, she and her unborn baby are OK and
"He was in shock, but still able to get us out of there. I feel like if a family member of mine didn't know where I was, I don't think I would have made it off," said Sellars.
Sellars says she is shocked that they made it out alive.
"I'm blessed I'm to be alive. I don't know how me or my cousin, my daughter, the twins, I don't know how we made it out like that," said Sellars.

United Kingdom: Male Dominance Unbroken?
The core argument of the UK chapter is that internal party politics mobilized by party women explains decisions to increase the position of women in elected office. The critical actors were and are mainly women leaders in different parts of party organizations who have taken advantage of opportunities provided by processes of party modernization to make their claim. Party crises and subsequent reforms are an important part of the story, as are changes in gender roles whereby wholesale shifts in attitudes made women’s votes available to parties and made voters responsive to women candidates. However, progress was not, and is not, straightforward. Moreover, such progress as there has been is neither uniform across parties nor fully established in parliament and other legislatures. At Westminster, the crucial barriers are the electoral system and the continued male dominahapter analyses the history of women’s entry into British politics separately for the two major parties, Labour and Conservatives, as well as for the Liberal Democratic Party.
This chapter, by contrast with much recent academic literature on British prime ministers that has concentrated on examining their position within the core executive, explores their relationship with their parties. It focuses on four key issues. These are the degree of party centralization, problems of party management, how prime ministers utilize the power of patronage, and the leadership selection/ejection procedures employed by parties. The chapter highlights trends towards party centralization and greater leadership security, yet finds that these co-exist with heightened party ill-discipline and increased ministerial dismissals and reshuffles. This approach provides a nuanced and complex picture of prime-ministerial power in which intra-party contexts such as institutional arrangements and ejection procedures are shown to be crucial conditioning factors on leadership authority.
This chapter examines transformations wrought during the era of coalition cabinets. With the end of LDP hegemony, the already difficult task of providing tactical direction to government policy was exacerbated by the challenge of maintaining unity in cabinets composed of ministers from multiple parties. The eight-party coalition that formed the first non-LDP government in nearly four decades made good on a promise to enact political reform by establishing a system for electing lower house MPs. Yet even after the LDP reassumed the executive helm – albeit in coalition governments – pressure for reform continued. As a result of the efforts of a series of governments, a fundamental reorganization of government organs was carried out in 2001, resulting in the establishment of a Cabinet Office and other reforms. And yet this institutional upheaval did not give birth to cabinet government. On the contrary, this period saw the rise of disjoined cabinets that failed to restore economic growth or to effectively respond to policy challenges. As Prime Minister Koizumi and his cabinet learned through their hard-won battle to privatize postal services, it is exceedingly difficult to provide executive leadership in a fragmented policymaking landscape dominated by powerful subgovernments.
The constitution of Japan's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) prescribes that all proposed legislation and policies adopted by the party must first be examined and approved by the party before submission to the Cabinet and the Diet. The Policy Affairs Research Council is charged with studying, researching, and planning party policies. The Council was the party's central policy-making bodyAs the turnover of both party and government posts was high, there was a large group of party elders, some of whom were also leaders of factions or remained influential within them. Elders and senior party leaders provided initiative, guidance, management, coordination, and control in the party's policy-making. This chapter examines the role and influence of elders and senior leaders in the LDP's formal policy-making structures, together with the contribution made by the rank-and-file Dietmen, as well as the role played outside those structures by informal policy tribes. The focus is mainly on the LDP in the period 1975–93, and again in 1996–2000.
The reversal in Japan's economic fortunes after the collapse of the bubble economy, combined with the end of the Liberal Democratic Party's 38-year rule in 1993 and the political turbulence that ensued, continuing effectiveness of Japanese institutions, as well as the relationshipn in the organizations that underpinned those institutions. This chapter examines the continuing academic debate about the policy-making processes in Japan, beginning with the concept of the ‘developmental state’ in which bureaucrats are accorded the pre-eminent role in policy-making. The recent work of the ‘new institutionalists’ is also considered. Adopting and adapting theories of rational choice, they have attacked both revisionists and counter-revisionists, arguone of principal and agent, bureaucrats acting merely as the instruments of politicians.

Found a great game. Very similar gameplay!
Boom beach. Just started this weekend. It's really fun and just different enough to be refreshing! They have their version of posses and group play as well as individual and PvP. And I'm a good guy again fighting to defend innocent people. Not a thug stealing gold with a wookie. I'm working my way up so I can join a group. Anyone have experience and advice? Thanks to the CPW team for driving me away! Just what I needed! No more trains for this kid!
I did BoomBeach from the beginning and enjoyed it but didn't really find a groove. Deleted it a few months ago.
Lol! Guys, Boom Beach is SuperCell (otherwise known as "Super Sell" lol) the creators of Clash of Clans, the biggest "financial suck" app in history. Those are both games where people get addicted and spend hundreds (and even thousands) of dollars.
You think these guys are greedy, you haven't seen anything yet.
Stay away from both of those games.
Agree Aziz. So many other options out there.. And snow, I'm having fun with boom beach. Not spending a cent. And if I ever do spend, it is my hope that I get to keep what I pay for. That's the big integrity issue here. CPW took away what they sold some of us without our consent. Surely you can see the difference?
I never experienced SuperCell decreasing the value by 70% on something that I had purchased with real money. I did experience that with Next Games and CPW.
You couldn't be more wrong. Supercell absolutley did "move the fence" on people who spent money. I was one of the first players of Clash - and in one of the top clans at the beginning. I recently stopped playing - and my estimate is that I spent over $1,000 on gems in three years of playing just to barely keep up. And I knew many who spent many thousands of dollars. Crazy, right? But that's what it took, believe me.
In fact, anyone with a maxed base today has potentially spent over $10,000. Whenever your base was finally "maxed" - Supercell "moved the fence back" with a new update, instantly rendering your base insufficient. That's their game, and it's worked to the tune of billions. I imagine CPW/Next would love to copy that model.
I left the game with a base that would cost months of time or over a thousand dollars to max again. Pathetic.
As for BoomBeach - I played for free for over a year - and it was fun. But then to continue, the only way was to invest money, which I did not want to do - so I quit. You will see, it will creep up on you. Enjoy now, but eventually the game will be unplayable without spending cash.
It's naive to single CPW/Next out as the "bad guy" - these are all businesses trying to make a buck.
Sorry to hear about your experience man. That really sucks! I'm not defending supercell. I know nothing about them, other than that they have not screwed me over......yet! Appreciate the heads up. I'm not likely to get burned again. Fool me once, y'know? lol. I won't try to reach elite status on any game with in app purchases. I'll just be satisfied being a little guy.
Boom has been around for a while and I've been on it for over a year. In fact, cpw is really a copy of boom beach. And the money required to keep going at the pace you we're used to is ridiculous. If you have the patience, it's possible to level up, but as snow said, they keep moving the maxed out line up and up.
Enjoy the game, but be warned....
SuperCell, with their two main games Clash of Clans and Boom Beach are bringing in over half a million a DAY! Clash has had over 28 million downloads and Boom Beach is in the top 50 revenue earners in the App Store. Clash is in the top 5 or 10.
My point ... CPW is small fry and doesn't even rate in the top 200 App Store earners and not even listed on the various industry websites that monitor player numbers, churn rates and revenue ... yet!
We are just the early adopters of a wannabe top player in the gaming game and we are totally expendable and cannon fodder as they work out how to make this an addictive cash machine. That's why they aren't responding to our pitiful cries ... we don't matter ... and we never will.
BTW, been playing Boom Beach for free for a few months, level 33, 215 points, name is Gazzalite, looking for a good active task force!
I cannot find "Swords of light" are you sure that's the correct name?
@SnowDrifter, like I said in my post. I didn't experience that with SC. You might have along with many others but I have not. It is not naive to think of CPW as a " bad guy", they are indeed that. I know it's a business but business can be managed to success with ethics and a true moral compass. Sure, it may be a harder road to navigate but it can be done. Having a great product makes it that much easier.
Lmao good luck playing Clash then. I wish I could have my $1,000+ back from those crooks at Supercell. (Makes spending $10 for an occasional diamond pack here to speed up healing seem like nothing.).
I'll be along shortly amigo!
Hahaha! Bon Voyage, amigos: prepare for far more disappointment - and EXPONENTIALLY more of a loss of money if you play that money-suck for a while. You'll see that these CPW folk were far less greedy and more ethical.
I've not spent anything yet, most of my tf doesn't.
No big dogs but it's real fun. This game lacks imagination, lags, is repetitive to the point of boring before we even talk about the healing cards..... I'm enjoying playing pvp and certainly won't miss events but boom beach is miles above this game, and if I decide to spend a bit I feel it would be worth it but I probably won't ...
I have never spent a dollar on clash of clans and I have level 11 with almost everything upgraded. I have played for quite a while though.
For anyone who's interested, It took about 10 days to work up to a high enough level in boom beach to join a task force, which is their version of a posse. There is one joint "operation" every 24 hrs. Each player participates whenever they want within that time. Takes just a few minutes. Task forces are up to 50 players. It's so much better than 4 days of repetitive tap tap tap send a train repeat. So far I am a big fan and having fun playing again! If 3 goldrush and only 1 cattle battle in a the last month has you looking for a little fun again, give it a try! I am in "swords of light" with Highlander (see above) very helpful to have a bud to help me along! All can join!

short term and long term.” The document says, “Migration load induces additional pressure on the cost of provisioning of public services to the in-migration.” Pointing out that the states which suffer the most as a result of migration are Maharashtra, Delhi and Gujarat, it points out, states like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu have negative net migration rate.
Giving a list of 15 major states, the document goes to suggest which other the states that should gain – Maharashtra (13.1 per cent population, 14.95 per cent contribution to GDP), Andhra Pradesh (7.5 per cent vs 7.84 per cent), Chhattisgarh (1.3 per cent vs 1.67 per cent), Haryana (3 per cent vs 3.68 per cent), Odisha (2.3 per cent vs 2.58 per cent), and Rajasthan (4.3 per cent vs 4.99 per cent), and Tamil Nadu (7.6 per cent vs 7.65 per cent). And the states that should be losers are Bihar (3 per cent vs 2.95 per cent), Karnataka (5.6 per cent vs 5.55 per cent), Kerala (3.8 per cent vs 3.77 per cent), Madhya Pradesh (4.1 per cent vs 3.71 per cent), Punjab (3.9 per cent vs 3.2 per cent), UP (9.4 per cent vs 8.19 per cent), and West Bengal (7.5 per cent vs 6.52 per cent). </s> « June 2006 |

Posted by Howard Hewitt at 11:11 AM | PermalinkMore. It causes us to raise an eyebrow when we don’t hear of them causing any airy antics either. A few of the usually out and about stars have taken a liking to the laying low mode and have vanished from the tabloids which made us ask — Hello ji, kahan ho aap? Please resurface!
First on our list of disappearing actors, is the charming and moody Akshaye Khanna. We last saw him in Mere Baap Pehle Aap which barely saw daylight at the box office. It’s been eons since we saw him in a good role post Gandhi — My Father and his previous hits have virtually faded from the memories of his fans. His upcoming release Shortcut: The Con Is On seems to be his solace right now as we barely see the talented actor on celluloid. Come out of hiding Mr. Khanna!
Preity Zinta is on a different path and headed towards more “artsy” films in her career now. We saw her cheering and hugging her team players at the IPL cricket matches last year. On the big screen, we saw her bomb with The Last Lear and make a small appearance Heroes. Her career is in desperate need of a quick and good revival — get on with it PZ!
Her abs are known for being washboard flat and unfortunately Esha Deol’s career is headed that way too. In the last few years, she has been seen in a series of flops ranging from Cash to One Two Three and Hijack. We know it ain’t easy being daughter to India’s dream girl Hema Malini and He-Man Dharmendra, but this Deol needs to pick up her feet and get going!
From bahen to bhai. Bobby Deol has desperately been looking for the right role and movie to help re-kick start his otherwise dying filmi profession. While his last hit Apne was his saving grace, after that it has been nothing but a downhill climb for this Deol. Hopefully, bhaiya Sunny Deol will come to the rescue (again) and help his chote bhai out with a good role and hit to his name.
In my opinion, the ultimate Khan is Feroz Khan. Regrettably however, his son Fardeen Khan hasn’t been able to create the same impact Sr. Khan did and is continuing to do. Post marriage, we saw him gain and lose weight courtesy of mother-in-law Mumtaz who insists on feeding her jamai. The same occurred with his movie career too! Darling and Just Married sunk and although Heyy Baby proved to bring in some cash, it failed to help Fardeen’s credibility as an actor. Hopefully his upcoming Acid Factory will prove to help gain him a few more movies to his draining kitty!
Last on the list of disappearing actors is the cute and controversial Vivek Oberoi. He has seen a real roller coaster in terms of his career and personal life. However, that said, he always manages to gain back his standing in the industry with busting out a fantastic performance. When Kisna and Pyare Mohan showed dud and dud again at the box office, he came back with Shootout at Lokhandwala, quickly reassuring the industry and critics that he was here to stay. Cut to 2008, and we saw him in the dreadful Mission Istanbul. We hope 2009 and beyond brings with it movies and luck for the talented actor. In the meantime, show us more of your sweet smile, will ya! </s> A bright, adorable three and a half-year-old, little Joshua seems allergic to everything on Earth! His happy and engaging personality would deceive a passing observer. His conversation is delightful; he shares easily with his friends and is extremely loving to his doting big brothers.
But, in a small townhouse development in Downsview, Ontario, his mother struggles daily to keep this precious child healthy and strong. Joshua is intolerant of (or allergic to)

The ALPS Alerian MLP ETF not only offers investors a chance to invest in a basket of master limited partnerships but it promises to minimize the hassles at tax time.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- ALPS may have a hit on its hands with the launch of the ALPS Alerian MLP ETF (AMLP) - Get Alerian MLP ETF Report. This fund's introduction marks the first time investors can gain access to a basket of master limited partnerships in an ETF form.
ALPS' offering follows a growing trend within the exchange-traded product universe of firms that are launching products aimed at tracking companies responsible for transporting and storing natural gas and other fuels.
The energy sector has always a popular investing destination as players look for opportunities to bank on our insatiable appetite for power. Recently, master limited partnerships, which boast large distributions, have become particularly popular as sources of comfort during these turbulent times.
According to its factsheet, the dividend yield for the Alerian MLP Infrastructure Index which underlies AMLP was nearly 7% as of the end of June.
While attractive, the strong yields from MLPs come with a catch making them more complex than other asset classes when tax time comes around.
pass through their income to investors which results in a K-1.
are set up as unsecured debt obligations.
Any income payments from these funds are reported on the standard 1099 form. Although they skirt some confusion around tax time, ETNs carry added credit risk which may dissuade cautious investors from jumping aboard.
AMLP, on the other hand, is structured as an ETF. Because it tracks an index, one would expect that investors holding AMLP would be presented with a K-1. Interestingly, however, the fund promises to mimic its ETN competitors and avoid issuing a K-1.
AMLP's prospectus attempts to explain how it manages to avoid hassles at tax time. According to the paperwork, AMLP is taxed as a regular corporation. This means the fund is required to pay federal, state,. Currently the federal income tax rate applicable for corporations is 35%.
This is unlike most other investment companies, which are treated as regulated investment companies, allowing them to avoid paying state and federal taxes on their taxable income.
or any of the other firms offering MLP ETNs. For now, investors appear willing to accept this, as AMLP has already managed to amass an average volume of over 500,000.
The showdown in the MLP arena is getting heated and there is no doubt that more companies will soon be entering the fray with their own products designed to track this attractive asset class. Investors need to be cautious and do their homework, however, before diving in. Nobody wants .

Alof drinking alcohoect of grape leaf extract (GLEt) on antioxidant and lipid peroxidation states in liver and kidney alcohol induced toxicity. In vitro studies with DPPH* and ABTS*(+) (cation radical) showed that GLEt possesses antioxidant activity. In vivo administration of ethanol (7.9 g/kg bw/day) for 45 days resulted an activity of liver marker enzymes (AST, ALT, ALP and GGT), lipid peroxidation markers (TBARS, lipid hydroperoxides) in liver and kidney with significantly lower activity of SOD, CAT, GPx, GST and non-enzymatic antioxidants (vitamin E, vitamin C and GSH) in liver and kidney as compared with control rats. Administration of ethanol along with GLEt significantly decreased the activities of liver markers enzyme in serum towards near normal level. GLEt at a dose of 100 mg/kg was highly effective than 25 and 50 mg/kg body weight. In addition GLEt and addition, significantly in liver and kidney of alcohol administration rats. This observation was supplemented by histopathological examination in liver and kidney. Our data suggest that GLEt exerts its protective effect by decreased the lipid peroxidation and improving antioxidants snt in alcohol induced oxidative damage in rats.

Note: All ADP mentioned is courtesy of 4for4’s Underdog ADP Tool.
Zach Wilson and the Jets avoided a catastrophic start to 2022: According to ESPN's Rich Cimini, the NY QB on Friday night and will only miss two to four weeks after surgery for a partial repair. The Jets hope to have him back by Week 1 and I’m certainly no doctor, but with such a short recovery, re-injury should be a concern.
Tyler Huntley is still a really good backup: The Ravens’ QB proved highly accurate on Thursday night going 16-for-18 (88.9%), with a well-thrown 14-yard TD pass. Huntley also showed his rushing prowess with a 14-yard physical run to convert a fourth down. If you’re in need of a late-round dart in a deep 2QB or superflex league, Huntley could be your man again if anything were to happen to Lamar Jackson in 2022.
It was a rough return to football for Deshaun Watson: On the field for the first time since 2020, Watson played for the entire first quarter and completed just 1-of-5 passes for seven yards. The Browns failed to muster up a single first down with Watson at the helm, and to make things worse, center Nick Harris was carted off the field due to a right knee injury.
Trevor Lawrence appears to be benefiting from a legitimate football coach: The Jags played most of their starters against Cleveland, and the sophomore QB made some solid plays, ones we didn’t see much of in 2021. Lawrence completed 6-of-12 passes and a touchdown and looked poised and more confident.
Despite a scary late hit on Jalen Hurts, he had a perfect outing: The Eagles QB went 6-for-6 for 80 yards and a touchdown in his lone series, showcasing the ability to both create and execute plays in this first preseason game.
The future looks bright at QB for Pittsburgh: Kenny Pickett was impressive in his first real NFL action, showcasing his mobility and ability to throw the ball on the move. The rookie led the game-winning drive, topped off by a 24-yard TD strike to WR Tyler Vaughns.
Don’t write off Miles Sanders for pass work: The fourth-year RB has fallen to the early eighth round in Underdog drafts this summer due to the perception that Philly will lean more pass-heavy with A.J. Brown on the roster, among other things. Sanders worked solely in target volume on Friday night, catching both balls from Hurts for a total of 20 yards.
Fumbling may still be an issue for Antonio Gibson: After a six-fumble 2021 season, the 24-year-old lost the ball on his second carry of the night, while rookie Brian Robinson impressed on the next series. Robinson rushed six times for 26 yards in the contest including an eight-yard TD run, with two additional catches for 15 yards. Gibson has fallen to the seventh round as RB25, while Robinson is currently being drafted as RB53 in the 15th.
Amon-Ra St. Brown: One of the more compelling WRs this season at ADP, the now fifth-rounder had a solid start in both volume and efficiency on Friday night. The Detroit first team only played for one series, but St. Brown caught both of his targets for 29 yards.
Rookie Drake London left during the game’s first series with a knee injury: It doesn’t appear to be too serious for London which is great news for the Falcons and those investing in the Atlanta wideout this season.
It was a mixed bag for Packer rookie Romeo Doubs: After a summer of hype, Doubs has climbed 64.1 draft spots since July 1st and is now leaving boards as WR68 in the 13th round. Doubs caught three passes for 45 yards and a touchdown, but also dropped a pass and had one stripped for an interception. His ADP will most likely continue to rise as long as Aaron Rodgers or whoever is under center feeds him the ball this preseason.
I’d like to introduce you to Arizona WR Greg Dortch: This is actually the Wake Forest product’s fourth year in the NFL as mostly a practice squad and special teams guy with stints for the Jets, Panthers, Rams, and Falcons. He may remain there for the Cardinals in 2022, but the speedster put on quite a show against the Bengals on Friday night making a case for the 53-man roster, and WR work. Dortch was the target leader with eight, hauling in four of those for 53 yards. He’s not draftable in regular season-long leagues but perhaps think about a last-round sprinkle in your remaining best ball drafts.
George Pickens is healthy and really good: The UGA wideout was impressive on Saturday night, catching three of five targets for 43 yards and a score. His ADP is currently 140.5 as WR64, but will likely ascend after his performance against the Seahawks. The Steelers' target distribution is still a question mark heading into the regular season, but Pickens has the talent and potential opportunity to outproduce his current fantasy WR5 draft designation.
Evan Engram could be that late-round guy we’ve all been drafting him as all summer: Sure, it was just one catch for a 9-yard touchdown on a fourth-down play, but it’s encouraging to see the connection forming between Engram and Lawrence. The former Giant is currently a 16th-round pick as TE23 for all you bargain basement TE shoppers.
Philly capped their opening drive with a TD strike to Dallas Goedert: This isn’t super noteworthy, but TE news is scarce and fantasy managers have been skittish of Goedert’s potential volume this season. He caught his only target for a 22-yard score which is encouraging at his current TE8, early ninth-round ADP.
It was business as usual for Money Mac: Evan McPherson picked up right where he left off in 2021, nailing three field goals for 23, 58, and 56 yards.

Posted on March 8, 2017 by Jody March 8, 2017
Usually I hand-write letters so you don’t think I’m copying and pasting from some source online, but I type faster than I write, and I’d like to tell you a personal story that’s very dear to me.
Today, International Women’s Day, always feels like my second daughter’s birthday, because six years ago today, I went into labor at 31 weeks; the baby was 4 lbs, 5 oz, and so breech her feet were literally sticking out of my cervix. That was a bad day. Fortunately, 5 years and 359 days ago, March 14, 2011, what could have ended very badly ended happily, with the C-section delivery of a perfect little peanut of a preemie. I’ll call her GJ here.
Nineteen months earlier, my first daughter, at 34 weeks, had been eerily still for hours, not kicking or responding to stimuli. After an emergency induction, we realized she’d aspirated meconium in the womb. She was born very ill, and was whisked off to the NICU for emergency oxygen treatment for her persistent pulmonary hypertension. We’ll call her EB.
When I was pregnant with EB, I was on a PPO. I thought it was a good choice, because I hadn’t expected to get pregnant so quickly; it turned out to be a terrible choice, as her illness and my resulting infection racked up costs of over $200,000 inside of a week. Fortunately, we had an annual cap, but we still spent $12,000 out-of-pocket. I’ve had a career for a long time, and between California’s Pregnancy Disability Leave, what I was able to save, and our families, we were able to pay off that $12,000 within months, without too much hardship.
As you can imagine, I am extraordinarily grateful for that good fortune. We didn’t earn our families’ money, but we were grateful to have it. My job didn’t have to offer 6 weeks of paid pregnancy leave, but I was grateful to have it. Having my baby in California meant I got PDL, and I was grateful for that, as well. I often lay awake at night, thinking, if I’d been in that same position in a different state, in a different city, with families living paycheck-to-paycheck, and I’d been laid off at the start of my pregnancy—what would have happened to us? A tax credit certainly wouldn’t have made much of a difference to us in that case.
With GJ’s birth, I didn’t make the same mistake; I got an HMO. I paid $500 out-of-pocket all told: that’s for one week of mandatory hospital bedrest, one week of C-section recovery, and GJ’s three weeks in the NICU, as she put on enough weight to be discharged. Again, I wonder: what if we hadn’t had healthcare? How would we have paid for her care? What price is the life of a living, breathing baby?
If we spend so much time caring for unborn fetuses, why don’t we spend as much money and time caring for the lives of newborn babies and their mothers Don’t we care about them, as well? Do we tell a mother that a small tax credit will make up the difference of a $200,000 bill for her child?
My story doesn’t end there. A doctor had told me I have a condition wherein any pregnancy I’d have following GJ would track similarly: I’d have to be on bedrest for the last months. I’d need cerclage, meaning they’d literally stitch my cervix shut to hold the baby in. And for all that, she’d likely still come early, and I’d have a third baby in the NICU.
I suffered nightmares for the first two years of GJ’s life, terrified that I would get pregnant again—I dreamed of pregnant women, abandoned in the rain, hailing cabs that wouldn’t stop for her. I dreamed of being in the NICU, and doctors telling me I couldn’t touch my baby. I dreamed of being pregnant myself, and having tiny babies that I had to carry in a bubble, outside my body. Physically, the idea of intimacy so terrified me—even using condoms—that my husband and I grew apart.
My stress finally helped my husband decide to get a vasectomy, two years to the date that I went into labor with GJ. The dreams went away, although I still suffer anxiety attacks triggered by places that remind me of the hospital and NICU where I spent three weeks of my life. (Including my grandmother’s nursing home.) And we’re still dealing with the aftermath of that lack of physical intimacy for so long.
How can the party of so-called family values tell happily married couples that they must either suffer a sexless marriage or pay for the full cost of sick babies?
Again, I think: we were able to pay for his procedure. You’re married, and surely you understand how important physical intimacy is to a healthy marriage. What about married families who can’t afford contraception? Do we just tell them to stay abstinent? Do we tell them to suffer through their marriage? have sick babies? And who will pay for the sick babies once they’re born?
If I hadn’t been so fortunate, the young, healthy people paying premiums under the ACA mandate would have picked up the cost of GJ’s care. With EB, born in July of 2009, we’d have gone bankrupt. The ACA would also pay for anti-anxiety meds that I take very occasionally, so I don’t end up shaking on the floor of a bathroom just because I want to visit my grandmother. The ACA would have helped pay for my husband’s vasectomy.
I’m grateful my family has the means to pay for our family’s healthcare, but my heart aches for the families who are not so fortunate—the very families who need the protection of the ACA. These families will not benefit from a small tax break. They will pay and pay and pay, before pregnancy, during, and after, and I, for one, am happy to do my share to ensure no mother has to go through what I went through and worry that she won’t be able to feed her family while she pays for it.
Please, show you’re a compassionate man who truly cares about families, and fix the ACA. Don’t destroy it and replace it with a plan that will only benefit people like me—I don’t need more benefits. I’m fortunate enough already.

I know I am a little late commenting on this, but I am so grateful that you wrote about your experience. I have always had a very "happy go lucky" personality, very low key. I had my first child in July and I suffered in silence until late November. I thought the feelings I had would pass and that what I was experiencing was what everyone experiences after they have a baby. Boy was I wrong!I thought when I went back to work it would get better, etc, etc. I kept making excuses. Finally I went to my family doctor and told him all about what I was feeling. He did the best thing ever, he listened, offered me options, and now 2 1/2 months later I am just about back to normal.. If you have the symptoms of PPD please, I beg you to go get help. I am regretful now that it took me so long to ask for help, because I think I would have enjoyed my time with my daughter much more if I had addressed the issues right away. Thanks Kira!
@kleegam2 What a great idea, volunteering with SafeChild. Did you see a lot of other moms with PPD?
I wish each of you the best. God bless!
If you are having problems coping, new moms, PLEASE seek help. Kira, my experience was similar to yours (not the OCD, but the other stuff). No one in my family knew how messed up I was - but my poor husband!ohmygoodness, how he suffered. After 2 years (years!) I finally sought help. It took a decade before we had another child because I was so afraid this would happen again. The 2nd time I was very up-front with my OB about the struggles with the post-partum. The great news was that the PPD did not repeat, thank goodness. (I even volunteered with SafeChild because I knew I'd recognize the signs in another mom....
Moms, if you are struggling - get help!
I have been going through all of this since we brought our son home from Vietnam in 2008. People don't think about adoptive parents going through these things, but we do. I battle ADHD/Depression and who knows what else. Being a new mom after being married for 13 years was extremely hard, and add being a teacher to that and all h@!
@kpeele You have your hands full!
My second child is 6 weeks old now (I also have a 17-month old)and today was a more emotional day for me so I appreciate the honesty of your post. I haven't had your OCD experience but I have found that once these little guys entered my life anxiety also came for so many reasons. Some reasons are understandable and some more attributable to the crazy life of a mom with a new baby. I think loving our children so much leaves us vulnerable to that anxiety. It's important to find a source of peace and security to help us when taking care of these little ones can feel so overwhelming. I too hope that things continue to get better for you this year!

Teevens teeters on The Farm / Results don't help embattled coach's case
When Stanford head coach Buddy Teevens and athletic director Ted Leland talk, presumably after Thanksgiving weekend, Teevens will be selling himself to his old friend, making a case for why he should get to head the Cardinal football program for a fourth season.
If Leland decides Teevens remains in place, he will do so against an increasingly prevailing sentiment by alumni and fans that change is in order after three seasons in which the Cardinal have a 10-23 record and have lost three consecutive Big Games by a margin of 99-29 to Cal's third-year head coach, Jeff Tedford.
This season's 4-7 record looks identical to last year's on paper only. The differences are significant. The Cardinal were unquestionably an improved team on defense. Leadership was strong, in sharp contrast to Teevens' first season in 2002 when dissension among the upperclassmen ruled.
And this team was resilient, holding off Washington State on the road, and staging comebacks against Oregon, Arizona State and Oregon State that fell just short. Saturday's 35-point loss to Cal was the team's most lopsided defeat of the season.
And, the Big Game loss exposed Stanford's biggest shortcoming, an offense that falls far short of this program's historically lofty standards. Though the Stanford defense held Cal through the first two quarters and went into halftime down only 10-3, the offense couldn't generate a response. As the Cardinal defense wore down, Cal's margin grew. And Stanford responded to its frustration with a slew of uncharacteristic penalties.
Saturday's loss was Stanford's latest unhappy ending. In fact, the Cardinal finished this season with five straight losses, continuing a trend. Stanford was 0-5 to end 2002 and 0-3 in the last three games of the 2003 season.

Teevens' biggest challenge, should he return, lies with the offense.
Three seasons after saying he would bring his "Fun 'n' Gun" experience from Florida to Stanford, the Cardinal's offense is rife with inconsistency and unrealized potential. Stanford averaged 13.8 points per game in its final five outings after averaging 28.3 per game in its first six. In 2003, the Cardinal averaged 16.9 points a game. In 2002, it was 20.5.
Teevens has used three offensive coordinators in three seasons with marginal effect on the team's offensive success. And criticism about a lack of creativity and the ability to respond to defensive adjustments by opponents has gotten louder.
Even one of Teevens' key returning offensive players, sophomore wide receiver Evan Moore, sounded frustrated with the game plan after Saturday's loss.
"I don't want to put the blame on anyone. It goes on everyone, and there's so many things that go into a running game or a passing game and things have to be clicking," Moore said. "Everything wasn't clicking, I'll tell you that."
Moore said he was concerned the Stanford scheme doesn't seem to adjust to opposing defensive schemes.
Teevens said he will re-evaluate the offense in the offseason.
"A lot of it is just a maturation process," Teevens said. "We need to be more consistent in all areas. The frustrating point is, is it youth or execution or a combination?"
Defensively, the Cardinal lost seven seniors who played their final games Saturday. The players who remain are some of the ones who most characterize Stanford's hard-hitting, aggressive scheme: linebacker Jon Alston, nose tackle Babatunde Oshinowo, defensive end Julian Jenkins and cornerback T.J. Rushing.
"I'm very hopeful for this defense," Alston said. "We lose a lot of guys that are important to us, but the guys we have coming back are so good. I can definitely look forward and feel good."

Aluminium Recycling, Double Glazed Shop Fronts, Versatile, Strong, Range of Colours, Fast Installation
According to Alupro [an industry funded, not-for-profit organisation representing the UK's aluminium packaging industry], 2020 saw outstanding levels of aluminium recycling. When the Environment Agency reported their findings in early January, it showed that 145,035 tonnes of aluminium packaging was recycled in the UK in 2020. The National Packaging Waste Database (NPWD), confirmed that this showed an increase of 24% compared to the data from 2019.
Recycling in the UK in general has escalated in recent years, but aluminium has excelled, demonstrating a definite and encouraging commitment towards sustainability. Executive director at Alupro, Rick Hindley, commented: "Such an impressive increase is not only a direct impact of COVID-19 and the resulting national lockdowns, but also suggests increased public awareness about the widespread benefits of best practice aluminium recycling run our highly successful 'MetalMatters' and 'Every Can Counts' behavioural change programmes across multiple locations nationwide. "Both have proven instrumental in engaging with householders about how quick, simple and beneficial it is to recycle aluminium packaging". He also expressed the hope that as people return to work and school, the trend would continue, helping to achieve 100 percent recycling

"Opening Night' Music Great (No Pause)
OPENING Night was a blast! What better way to bring in the New Year?
And the music? It was great!
Of course, Opening Night Oklahoma City's "Revel Without a Pause" is the fun-filled alternative to traditional New Year's Eve parties, held downtown last Saturday night.
I was there along with about 30,000 of my closest friends.
Presented by the Arts Council of Oklahoma City, Opening Night featured a wide variety of entertainment, music, great food and fun for all ages.
I set out to hear some great music and I did.
First stop: Leadership Square, where we heard the beautiful voices of the Ambassadors Concert Choir, singing everything from gospel to pop, soul to rock.
Then, on to: Robinson Renaissance, where we heard two great groups one new, one not-so-new. All jazz, however.
The sounds of After Five, a three-man jazz combo, filled the air for over an hour before the legendary Barney Kessel Quartet took over.
Kessel and company were in fine form, and, if After Five is any indication, the future of jazz in Oklahoma City is in good hands.
Then, on to: The American First Tower, to hear a little bit of the magical accordion playing of Heinie Siegel and to see the wonderful wizardry of magician David Thomas.
And then, over to: The First Interstate Bank Lobby, where the Mallet Machine and the Riverboat Jazz Kings were taking turns. Unfortunately, it was too crowded to force one's way into the lobby, so...
On to: 101 Park Avenue, to hear bits and pieces of the barbershop quartet sound (male and female) of Instant Credit and the Fine Design Quartet.
And, then over to...
The Bank of Oklahoma Main Lobby to hear country legend Hank Thompson and the Brazo Valley Boys. What would be a New Year's Eve without hearing some good country music?
And, then it was over to the Metropolitan Library to hear '60s, '70s and Top 40 rock 'n' roll as performed by the Stars one of Oklahoma City's best bands.
The Library was crowded, and it felt like the books were going to come tumbling down on us at any time but it was worth it.
Hearing hundreds of voices joining in with the Stars for a third encore of "Twist and Shout," like Clint Eastwood would say, "made my day." The Stars were the best of a great lineup of music for Opening Night.
And, finally, over to Kerr Park for the countdown to the New Year.
Fireworks! Confetti. Huggin' and kissin.' Happy New Year! BIOG: NAME:

You attract your friends by who you are.
However, as you evolve into a smarter version of you, you start losing friends.
Because they don’t resonate with you anymore.
Because they are a different human now.
Because you are a different human now.
No one is at the wrong place. However, no one is at the same place either.
Gain is always accompanied by loss. Sometimes you like that loss. Other times you don’t like it, and still have to go through it.
You cannot be smart and yet have a ton of friends. Sad, yet the truth you must know.
Hi, just wondering if you read your comments….

Upon entering this world from the cozy, confines of mommy’s womb, babies compel us to clean, comfort, and protect them in some sort of wrapping. Even God Incarnate, who came to us as a vulnerable infant, was swaddled by His mommKJV
Tradition states that Jesus was born in a stable behind an inn with a No Vacancy sign. A stable, or cave, such as this would house traveler’s mules and horses, as well as the inn owner’s animals such as cows and goats, maybe even chickens. Now, I’m not saying it couldn’t have happened this way, but aren’t these types of stables smelly, dusty, and risky for newborns?
Perhaps this was to symbolize the humility of Jesus coming to our Earth from his place of glory. (A closer look at the Greek word used for "inn" suggests that it could have been a family's spare room, rented out for the occasion of the census.)
If so, then what about the swaddling clothes? According to ancient historical records, swaddling infants with strips of cloth was a common practice. Then why did the angels specifically tell the shepherdses as a sign to them of His identity? Of course, He would be swaddled, no news there. And in whose stable would they find the Child? Lots of people were in Bethlehem during the census. The angels never specified where to look other than in a manger..
Many people believe that the swaddling clothes represent the reason that Christ came in the first place, to die for our sins. At that time, the shroud of a dead person was also referred as “swaddling cloth,” even though the Greek word was different from the one used in Luke's gospel for the birth.
Apparently, travel in the Middle East at the time of Jesus’ birth was fraught with dangers and hardships. No guarantee existed that travelers would reach their destination. Religious law required a dead body to be buried immediately upon its demise. So, it is reported that travelers would prepare for their journey by wrapping a long strip of lightweight cloth around their body under their clothing in case somebody died. The corpse could be wrapped and buried.
If Mary had not the foresight to bring clean wrappings, the newborn Messiah might have been swaddled in the burial cloth that Joseph may have wrapped around himself for the trip, thus foreshadowing His ultimate purpose.
Catholicism.org shared a speculation that Mary may have been given priestly swaddling bands from her cousin Elizabeth and her husband Zachary, a priest in the temple. Apparently, when the priests were done serving their time in the holiest place, they cut their embroidered priestly garments into strips to be given as a gift to a newborn Davidic king. Wearing these swaddling clothes would have been a sign that the infant was indeed of the royal line of David.
Elizabeth knew without doubt that Mary was the mother of the Lord Immanuel and that he was fully deserving to wear the priestly swaddling bands because both Mary and Joseph were of the lineage of King David. While preparing for the census trip to Bethlehem, Mary would have packed these distinguishing bands precisely for the purpose of swaddling her newborn son.
John D. Keyser of hope-of-israel.org maintains that the act of using salt and swaddling clothes on the child proves that Joseph, not God’s Spirit, is the true and natural father of Jesus. He indicates that ancient middle eastern custom dictates that a child not salted and swaddled is an illegitimate child. Only those infants whose parents are known and accepted in the local community are salted and swaddled. Therefore, Joseph must be the true father of Jesus.
Alfred Edersheim, a minister and Biblical scholar in the 19th century, indicates that the special flocks that provided the lambs used for ritual sacrifices and for Passover in the Temple of Jerusalem (4 miles away) were raised in the hills around Bethlehem.
Migdal Eder was a watchtower built in/near Bethlehem to protect the temple flocks. Lambs that were destined to become ritual and ceremonial sacrifices in the temple at Jerusalem were born in the birthing room below the "tower of the flock," (in Hebrew Migdal Eder). It was kept ceremonially clean according to strict rabbinical rules.

Ravensbrück Männerlager - Ravensbrück Men's Camp
Article about: KL-Ravensbrück - Männerlager Ravensbrück, infamous for its place in history as one of the major concentration camps in Nazi Germany and the only major camp primarily established to hold fema
KL-Ravensbrück - Männerlager
le prisoners, was also the site of a men's camp. In the spring of 1941, under the command of Kommandant Max Koegel, some twomen's camp began, the SS authorities set up the Männerlager (Men's Camp), a relatively small camp located adjacent to the Industrial Estate and positioned at the eastern end of the camp complex proper. The reason for the introduction of the men's camp, and the male inmates to be housed there, was to provide the SS with the slave labour required to expand the existing camp and its increasing number of satellite camps, which eventually totalled more than forty. From its establishment in April 1941 til the end of the camp some four years later, the Männerlager held around 20,000 prisoners and came under the authority of the women's camp command. Today, very little remains of the former camp, save for what remnants are visible in the image attached below. Also added is a plan of the former Männerlager and a section of a letter written by a male inmate in autumn 1941 - note the postal control stamp marking reads "KL-Ravensbrück" = Konzentrationslager Ravensbrück (Concentration Camp Ravensbrück) and not "f.KL-Ravensbrück" = Frauen Konzentrationslager Ravensbrück (Women's Concentration Camp Ravensbrück)
thanks Carl,don't know why I missed this on 1st posting.
New thread addressing a sub-camp of Ravensbrück that held over 100 male inmates transferred from the Männerlager at Ravensbrück:

Social media compliance and big business
It’s one small step for Twitter, one giant social media leap for Goldman Sachs!
Earlier this year Goldman Sachs did something it had never done before in its 143-year history. It embraced social media by sending out its first ever tweet.
For highly regulated industries like the finance industry,, social media can be a legal mine field so many companies in these areas are slow to embrace it. Indeed, many simply avoid social media altogether.
However, in a post-internet world where consumere, and consumerssimply ignoring social media and ‘hoping for the best’ is no longer a viable option for large businesses.
However, with a well defined social media strategy and a clear compliance process, there’s no reason why any company can’t embrace social media. Nevertheless, there are obviously some in-house ground rules to sort out before a company decides to send its first tweet or post its first status update.
Firstly, a firm needs to draft a detailed social media policy which clearly outl and how it wants to use it. The policy should have input from all the major teams in the organisation too. For example, marketing should outline what should be communicated and when, legal and compliance should outline the legal guidelines on social media and how to ensure they are adhered to, and customer services should detail how they intend to interact with customers online and respond to inbound messages. A procedure should also be drawn up which details how the company will deal with any complaints or queries through its sites.
Secondly, a training policy needs to be put in place. Staff need to be trained on how to use Facebook and Twitter etc. in a corporate environment and a business needs clear guidelines on who can tweet or post updates and when. A company should then undertake periodic reviews of its social media content to ensure it complies with agreed company guidelines. All social media content should also be archived for an agreed period of time in case a company ever has to produce social media records – increasingly likely in the years to come as more companies do business online.
Also, a company needs to ensure it’s up to speed with the rules and regulations on competitions, promotions and endorsements. The improper running of these can get a company into big trouble; not only with the social media site itself but also the law. For example, are you aware of the difference between a valid competition and an illegal ‘lottery’? If not, then your company needs to be and this should be fed into the overall social media policy.
However, none of the above is exactly rocket science so there’s really no reason why a firm can’t embrace social media and start using it to its advantage. Of course, there are plenty of social monitoring tools out there to help a business manage its social media platforms and make the transition from offline to online that little bit easier: HootSuite and hearsaysocial being two good examples.
So, what are you waiting for? After all, if Goldman Sachs can do it, then surely anyone canRANDFog 2012 CEO survey, Goldman Sachs, HootSuite, media compliance, social media management, social media tools, social monitoring tools, Twitter by daraghcassidy. Bookmark the permalink.

I really haven’t seen a lot of financial and pharmaceutical related companies embracing social media and I believe the reason being that they can be easily caught up in a legal action since they are regulated as well as if people start some negative reviews about their products or services then they can get into a good intensity legal battle.
daraghcassidy on 29/10/2012 at 8:05 pm said:
It’s definitely more difficult for financial companies and pharmaceutical companies to embrace social media but I think that with the right plans in place and the necessary staff training and internal company safeguards, there’s no reason why companies in these areas can’t embrace it more going forward.

ularism. Blair Scott, Director, Alabama Atheists
Huntsville/Mobile Register, 6/12/06) How could a Holocaust denier, whose belief that multiculturalism is part of a global war on whites, get 44 percent of the votes cast for the Democratic nominee forcer in the state?
(Huntsville Times, 6/9/06) "I think it is noteworthy that the Democratic Party had an atheist candidate and avowed Holocaust denier get so many votes in their primary," said Tim Howe,Still others, of course, had their facts straight and voted for President Bush. What does it all mean?
So consider that in Alabama, 44% of the electorate voted for Larry Darby, despite his atheism and his strenuous opposition to Judge Roy Moore’s popular Ten Commandments display.
So this is what’s left for atheist to take out of all this: Just run for office – and make sure your last name begins with a letter early in the alphabet. Nothing seems to matter anyway, unless it’s that appealing to voters’ worst instincts will get you a significant number of votes. </s> SeattBesides all of his professional achievements, Dr. Siegall has maintained his focus on research and cause implementation of state-of-the-art developments to help cancer patients by relieving their pain.

I've decided that "most" of it was worth reading. The characters were what was throwing me off at first. They are split about 50/50 between well written, dynamic people, and static, boring words that make up a person. The characters that drew me in were what kept me reading the book, and what also made me put the second in the series on my Christmas list to see if the remaining characters get any better (I'm a sucker for second chances).
I'm more of an urban fantasy YA lover but I did enjoy this book...although the rest in the series are on my TBR shelf. Gotta say the covers are beautiful! </s> Below digital objects for which ownership is publicly provable is a very odd concept, and is contrary to the last 20 years of thinking about digital objects.

Initially the videos that go virus-like are usually the promotional movies of some Multi-National Businesses which really are part in their marketing promotions but now the movies that are going viral on the internet will be the videos of the everyday people who are only showcasing their ability to the outside world by means of of movie via youtube.com.
There are an incredible number of videos published on facebook every day. As everybody wants a shortcut to success therefore it can be through youtube.com? Youtube.com has an enormous number of users which will help you to show your talent to the world that is whole. Why youtube.com is undoubtedly the finest video-sharing portal which leads you to a fruitful career, that is? But with competition that is so much it's extremely tough that people get acknowledged on youtube.com.
If you produce a video, you'll constantly find something similar that is not rather bad than yours. Most of the folks believe the leading point which should be in your movie is quality articles. Yes, I agree that content is important but alone articles can not do something, you WOn't enable you to get tens of thousands of views and likes in your video.
There are several internet sites which work very hard to get youtube views, Rating, Comments and Customers. Quite simply, not all the movies using the highest views and evaluations get well-known forthwith, there's some technique behind this madness that many of the companies use. Because without viewpoints that were enough your video is merely like trash put at the corner. Millions of videos are being watched regular on YouTube and the most clickable area is the "videos" tab at the top of facebook page. Therefore, the company's main goal is to get your movies placed under "most-viewed movies" section. The videos with likes, optimum views and remarks catch as you understand the more observable your video is to the crowd, the more sights you are getting and that location.

SKYWHAKYWHALE Reviews
Skywhale Jazz Rock/Fusion
Po815892)
This was their only album and it's a melodic blend of entirely instrumental music comprising six tracks in total, all but one of which exceed the seven-minute mark. In addition to the ubiquitous guitar, keys, bass and drums Skywhale featured an additional percussionist and two wind players so there's always plenty going on and the music has something of a Latin feel. There's no real need to try to describe the music further so I'll just let it speak for itself574)
Probably the greatest thing about this album, aside from the exceptionally creative songwriting/arrangements and gifted musicians, is the energy they create as a band. In every song the tempo rises and they'll soar to a height that even revered veterans of the music world would be envious of.

less effective but much more cheaper airconditioner.
Not entirely sure how cooling your car's trunk is going to help with the temperature in the main cabin. Also, freezers work by chilling a very small volume of air that doesn't get disturbed very much. Air conditioners are designed to provide very large quantities of chilled fresh air. If you left the fridge door open all the time, I imagine it wouldn't come close to the efficiency of an air conditioner.
mah's point is not trivial. A refrigerator is just a heat pump - it takes heat from inside and pumps it outside the refrigerator - that's inside your car. The end result would be adding heat to your car (because entropy can never go down in a closed system).
Yes, and I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't put me in the humidifier again.

Concepts and Green Applications
First edition, February 2008;
Hardcover, 279 + XIII Pages;
€55.- ($80 in the US).
ISBN-10: 3-527-31824-0.
ISBN-13: 978-3-527-31824-7.
Catalysis: Concepts and Green Applications is a textbook that covers the basics of catalysis from a
green chemistry perspective. The book's main message is that heterogeneous catalysis, homogeneous catalysis,
and biocatalysis are all one discipline, so you need to understand only once how catalysis works.
Chapters 1 and 2 introduce and explain the fundamentals of sustainable chemistry, catalysis, and reaction kinetics.
Chapters 3, 4 and 5 show how these principles are applied in homogeneous, heterogeneous, and biocatalysis, respectively.
Finally, Chapter 6 gives an overview of the exciting and fast-growing field of computer applications in catalysis research, with a special section on
e researchers in academia and industry. Thus, each chapter includes detailed literature references, as well as exercises that embed the knowledge in a practical context. To help you master the catalysis jargon, key terms in catalysis are printed in bold and defined the first time they appear in the text. They are also included in the index. Chapter 1 also contains a list recommended books on related specialized subjects.

This is stated in the article "How not to lose the future" Managing the Social Policyr. Taking into account the relevance of the topic, RIA "New Region" resulting in the publication of a professional "Everyday the journal" it is:
"At the moment it is very stylish criticize the existing political regime — and for good reason. But for some reason in the main debate revolves around the election procedure, party building, the judiciary, freedom of assembly and the state of the media. In fact, despite the importance of the above-mentioned problems of Russian life, drop out of sight the other — and really important — the fact: as a result of the policy, which was carried out over the past years, our homeland is at the brink of catastrophe.
It would seem that such a statement is extremely alarmist nature: there is no hunger, mass unemployment or other similar disasters. But in the criteria of the XXI century social tragedy can be caused, for example, dashed hopes and prospects of actual loss, as weaning (unfair, from the standpoint of the majority), at least part of what may be called the old-fashioned social conquests. This type of accident is very pressing issues in today's Russiafor the first few months of this year decreased in comparison with the figures of a year ago, there is growing dissatisfaction with the work of health and will be better to live one day, everyone expects some pinned by country. For example, in the form of increasing the retirement age, a dramatic expansion of payment for medical and educational services and upcoming accelerated growth in utility tariffs.
Power, despite the attenuation of even a small growth, hitting to the same period in the pre-election fever begins to act old, almost Russian way — handing out regular handouts. Here, teachers and promised to increase from 1 September payroll by 30%, and the officers from January 1, 2012 will increase by 2-3 times Monetary allowances, etc. etc. How sad note to the Ministry of Finance, if all these promises to fulfill, to obtain the federal budget deficit-free in the future, the average price of oil will be $ 147 per barrel. Not long ago, this option was at $ 90. I wish to recall that, as predicted by the Ministry of Economy in the coming 10-15 years, oil will cost $ 100 per barrel.
Comes from the Ministry of Public Health and other brand freshest initiative — to revise the so-referred to as "pension formula" or, more simply, the rules for determining the size of pensions. It is proposed to go back to the rules in effect before 2002. Then use a stiff invention of the late 1990s, when a severe shortage of funds led to the months-long delays in payments of small pensions — "personal coefficient of the pensioner." With his help almost redistributed relatively large contributions from the big salaries (and means advance expropriated future regarding the highest pensions of these employees) in favor of the poorest older people who are literally fighting for survival.
In addition, the Health Ministry proposes to introduce an additional stop, reflecting the demographic and macroeconomic features of the situation. About demography no illusions: Russian society is aging, and the ratio of the number of elderly people and working changes in favor of pensioners. Because of the Health Ministry (read between the lines) is almost the government has the ability to make on-line to further restrict the growth of pensions. But here's the link to the macro-economy is very principled. If at the end of 1990 all the circumcision made out of desperation (remember that the price of oil did not exceed $ 20 per barrel), then offer it at the moment, with more than $ 100 a barrel, a trivial symbol of impending systemic economic problems.
In 2012, when the new president and the new government will begin its obligations, they will face a problem:
— Real, not feigned reform, which only success and a chance for at least maintain, and later increase the standards of the overwhelming majority of Russians,
— Stability that is equivalent cutoff of social responsibility to preserve the stability of rickety economical system, plus a massive propaganda juggling such as "nothing is happening" or — in the latter case — "you need to temporarily tighten the straps for the light to come, which will occur in 2020." Also, of course, various resuscitation "orange" threat.
Those who want to see the point of view of the creator of the details of the first scenario can go to the websiteread the report "Giving the future. Strategy 2012 ". Let us consider more carefully the second scenario, the more so as long as it is much more affordable than the first.
Read propaganda about not going — we were nothing new and "our spin doctors" can not come up. But the circumcision social responsibilities have something to say. It's in one form or another, creeping manner, will go virtually all social fronts.
Sharply tightened requirements increase the already considerable red tape to obtain disability status and accordingly disability pensions and social benefits to pay for housing, medication supplies, travel on public transport.
How you will maintain the population in the event of such developments? First signs are already visible. This is, first, the growth of immigration sentiment and, as already mentioned, the loss of belief in the next day.

Devaranta Manushya tries to mix the image of Bigg Boss star Pratham with a dramatic film story. It manages to blend entertainment and a serious issue also. As the name suggests you know what is going to happen but that it the surprise element also. How can a person who is shown to be so down the depths of immorality be a very good person? For that you have to watch the neatly made film.
Devaranta Manushya has an unusual story and it was not an easy role for anyone. Pratham has tried his best to fit into it. The challenge is difficult but somehow he has managed to look convincing.

News Personal WWE & UFC belts on the line for Alberto del Rio vs. Tito Ortiz MMA fight
2019 has been a bizarre year for the world of professional wrestling. If Alberto del Rio vs Tito Ortiz wasn’t odd enough by itself, they upped the ante by putting a WWE championship belt and a UFC championship belt on the line.
The rumored date of December 7 for an MMA fight between Alberto and Tito has been made official by Combate Americas. The two fighters sat down with MMA Mania’s Matt Ryan for a conversation with an unintentional Between Two Ferns vibe. They covered what brought Tito to Combate Americas, what brought Alberto out of MMA retirement, their opposing stances in the US-Mexico border wall (skip from 9:00 to 18:33 if you are tired of politics), and, most importantly, Tito and Alberto wagering a UFC belt and a WWE belt on the outcome.
You may be wondering how the belts being wagered came about. Tito and Alberto explained the motivation behind the idea.
Tito Ortiz: Well, this is my idea. I wanted it. I want that belt. That’s how bad, it gives me a motivation that I haven’t had in a long, long time. Because now I see an opportunity to get something I’ve always wanted as a kid. And I still have that kid inside of me. I bust my ass for 22 years to have something, and now I have a chance to have something and that’s going to be that world title belt right there.
Alberto del Rio: That’s fantastic. That’s actually a really good idea from Tito. Yes, it was Tito’s idea. I know the one with the bright ideas most of the time, but this idea wasn’t mine. It was Tito’s and I told Campbell McLaren that’s a fantastic idea, because we’re putting our legacy, something that we worked so freaking hard to get to put around our waist. Regardless of if it was pro wrestling or MMA, we both worked hard, and it wasn’t easy. Even though they (the belts) are not sanctioned by anyone, but it’s sanctioned by us...
Tito: It’s sanctioned by my legacy.
Alberto: ... Because it’s in our trophy room. It tells you everything about us as personas, as athletes. It’s blood, sweat, and tears. That’s what we’re putting on the line.
That is a fantastic idea from Tito. Any time fans see a promotional photo with both the WWE and UFC belts, they will no doubt try to figure out what’s going on between Alberto and Tito. I’ll be rooting for Alberto, but part of me wants to see Tito’s inner child come out when he raises the WWE title high above his head in glory.
When it came time for a fight prediction, smack talk ensued and it might even result in a $50,000 charity donation for the children.
Alberto: I can not make any predictions right now, because this is MMA. Anything can happen. You can win in the first round, second round, third round, submission or knockout, but I’m 100% sure I’m winning this thing. Like I been saying to everybody, I’m not going to let my family down, my people down, and myself down. I’m doing this for the right reasons. I’m doing this for the right people.
It’s not just for me, like my dad, mi jefe, mi jefecito. My dad asked me, “Why are you doing this Alberto? I just want to f**king know if know you have nothing to prove to the world. You have accomplished everything you wanted.” And I said, “No, no, no. I have something to prove.” And his face changed completely. He was about to be mad at me, and I said, “No, no. I have something to prove to myself and to my children. To prove to myself that I’m still that amazing athlete, that amazing man, and to prove, to show my children that daddy’s a f**king superhero.
Matt Ryan: Tito, your retort?
Tito: (checking his nails) My retort is that this doesn’t get past the first round. And I guarantee you this doesn’t get out of the first round. Alberto’s never fought anybody like me. Nobody that’s beat him has ever fought anybody like me. I’m a former world champion for a reason. I’ve been fighting in this game of mixed martial arts for a reason. Alberto del Rio, if you make it to the second round, I’ll donate $50,000 to whatever children’s charity you choose for. If you can make it to the second round.
Tito: I guarantee you, partner, you bit off way more than you chew.
Alberto: Get that check ready, my friend.
Tito: When you wake up looking at the lights, you’ll be wondering what happened.
Alberto: We’ll see. You just keep talking and saying that to yourself.
Tito: Nah, I ain’t talking. I don’t talk, buddy.
Alberto: That’s fine. You’re doing it now, so...
Tito: And you can follow me on my YouTube and you can watch all my work I do. And all the people you’re training with, I’ve already beat them, buddy. I’ve already beat them in the first round. They didn’t even last two and a half minutes. Maybe you can last a lot longer than two and a half minutes.
That $50,000 charity wager by Tito was intriguing, but I was hoping for a, “I’m not your buddy, pal,” “I’m not you pal, buddy,” exchange. When it’s all said and done on December 7, I do believe Tito will be writing that check. I think Alberto will be able to survive five minutes due to his toughness.
Tito Ortiz vs Alberto del Rio in Hidalgo, Texas will headline Combate Americas’ debut to PPV. If that back and forth exchange didn’t get you pumped enough for the $39.99 price tag, perhaps this hype video will do the job.

I’I’ss.
I’m an optician by day and baker by night. I’ve always wanted to do a boudoir session but I was too scared…wanted to change about myself, I was afraid I would feel that way about my images and not be able to look like the women in the boudoir pictures I am so inspired by.
I didn’t I second guess anything from that moment on.
I’ve always been self conscious of my smaller chest and I never thought I could feel comfortable let alone sexy topless. My nude and topless photos are my favorites… that still blows my mind!
My favorite part was the reveal! I couldn’t believe my eyes, I wasn’t looking at my hips or, my thighs, or my insecurities. I was looking and myself in a way I could never have imagined, I felt fierce, I felt beautiful and seriously sexy. I was surprised that I wanted to share my pictures with everyone, like immediately.
And Miss J’s last words of advice: I know it’s scary, I was so scared. If I can any way shape or form inspire another woman to take a chance and just go for it, that would make my heart so happy!

Owen Fitzgerald of the St. Marguerite Bourgeroys Parish was recently told a two-month-old baby boy born premature died before reaching Canada.
“We haven't seen them,” said Fitzgerald. “We haven't met them, they haven't met us. But then a week ago we get a message the youngest of the family has died.”
Sid Larusic has been one of the volunteers lending a helping hand. Despite the loss, he says the family will have a warm welcome and the support they need when they arrive.
“I know it's been very difficult for the, with the fact they are coming here with the loss of a son,” said Larusic. “We will never get to meet him as well, but you know, God love them.”
There is no word on when the family will arrive in Sydney, but Fitzgerald says the group is ready and eagerly awaiting what should be an emotional welcoming.
Fully-furnished rooms were put together for Syrian refugees arriving in Sydney.

DWP Bribery Scandal May Tank Garcetti’s Ambassadorship
Previous Article DWP Bribery Scandal: Who’s Next?
Next Article LAPD Funding: Can LA Increase Budget When Facing a Deficit?
LA WATCHDOG - The odds that Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti will be America’s next ambassador to India are getting slimmer by the day as new revelations of corruption and sexual harassment surface, leaving many to speculate what else is hiding in the closet.
On November 29th, Paul Paradis, a New York City count of bribery for accepting an undisclosed $2.2 million payment from the class action attorney who was suing DWP over its botched roll out of its customer billing system in 2013.
Paradis also admitted to bribing then DWP General Manager David Wright and other department officials in connection with the utility’s approval of a $30 million no bid contract for cyber security services with a startup company controlled by Paradis.
Paradis is also cooperating with the federal government on its ongoing criminal investigation.
While Garcetti has not been implicated directly in these scams, they happened on his watch. He appointed Wright to be the General Manager in August of 2016 despite his limited experience at DWP.
If DWP was an investor-owned utility like PG&E or SoCal Edison, the Public Utility Commission, the Mayor, and the City Council would all be demanding the firing of the Chief Executive Officer, in this case, Garcetti.
Garcetti’s credibility has also been questioned in connection with a lawsuit filed against the City by LAPD o. Garza alleged that he was sexually harassed by Rick Jacobs, a former deputy mayor, a Garcetti confidant, and a prolific fundraiser for Garcetti. Garza also said that Garcetti witnessed Jacobs’ inappropriate behavior and did nothing to stop it.
While Garcetti claimed under oath that he did not witness any harassing behavior, a December 1st article in New York Magazine, The Mayor Knew, by Alissa Walker claims that Jacobs was a “serial harasser according to multiple sources” and that Garcetti ignored it. One of the credible sources waswho has a lot to lose by going public with her experiences.
Again, if this harassment occurred in the private sector or for anybody else in City Hall or Sacramento, people would demand that Garcetti be held accountable and resign.
While the DWP bribery scandal and the failure to call out a serial harasser are enough to doom Garcetti’s ambassadorship, these are in addition to the pay-to-play corruption that is plaguing City Hall, again under Garcetti’s watch. And Garcetti is no stranger to pay-to-play shenanigans as witnessed by the Mayor’s Fund and his role with the Hollywood Millennium when he was the Councilman representing Hollywood.
While there is the possibility that Garcetti would be an excellent ambassador to India, especially since he would not have any operational or financial responsibilities, there is too much baggage associated with Garcetti. It is time for either the Biden administration or Garcetti to withdraw the nomination.

DVD Round-Up: 'Skyfall,' Lost 'Doctor Who,' & 'White Zombie'Week of February 12th, 2013Published: 02/10/2013 11:43pmThe big news this week is the home entertainment release of Sam Mendes’ nifty James Bond film Skyfall, but there are some hidden treasures available too including Top Gear’s survey of all the Bond cars, a “restored” lost Doctor Who classic, and a superbly re-mastered Blu-ray of White Zombie that reveals a film with the visuals (if not the acting) to rival the original Dracula and Frankenstein.
The top release this week is the 23rd James Bond film Skyfall (MGM, “PG-13,” $29.98, BD $39.99), the highest-grossing film in the franchise, and one of the most interesting. Sam Mendes’ direction provides some psychological depth to the characterizations that the series, in spite of its other merits, has often lacked.
Art house movie fans should check out The Sessions (Fox, “R,” $22.98, BC $28.99), the story of a polio victim who gets to experience, what they used to refer to as “the fullness of life” thanks to the help of a professional therapist played by Helen Hunt who received a Best Supporting Actress” Oscar nomination for her sensitive portrayal of a sex surrogate. Despite its subject matter, this film is far from prurient and presents a surprisingly mature (for an American film) and positive look at human sexuality.
The 8th and final season of the Showtime series Weeds leads this week’s domestic TV releases. Weeds Season 8: The Final Season (Lionsgate, $39.98, BD $39.97) features star Mary Louise Parker on the cover along with the question “Who Got Smoked?”—a fitting end to an influential cable series that at its best combined a heavy dose of satire with a delicious dark comedy that sprang from its heroine’s unconventional and illegal means of achieving the “American Dream.”
Some geek viewers will definitely want to check out Top Gear: 50 Years of Bond Cars (BBC, 135 min., $9.95) in which the show’s rather brilliant resident gearheads discuss and drive the models used by 007 over the decades.
Animated offerings this week include SlugTerra Vol.1: The Return of the Shane Gang (Shout Factory, 110 min., $14.97). This Canadian produced, computer-animated series has a premise that parodies Pokemon with a cast of human character who collect, train, and duel with little critter called “slugs.”
Perhaps the top “geek” release of the week is the vintage Doctor Who serial Doctor Who: Story 008—Reign of Terror (BBC, $24.98), which features the First Doctor (William Hartnell) in a story set dOnly four of the six episodes of this saga remain in the BBC’s vaults, so the two missing episodes were replaced by animated reconstructions based on the original scripts.
Vintage American series due this week include The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries Season 3 (Shout Factory, 510 min., $24.97), which collects the third season of the ABC series that ran from 1977 to 1979. The third season featured just the Hardy Boys who were played by Parker Stevenson and Shaun Cassidy. Other vintage series include the classic western Bonanza: The Official Fifth Season (Paramount, 1350 min., $74.99), the legal/mystery series Matlock: Season 8 (Parmount, 1037 min., $49.99), and The Loretta Young Show: 100th Birthday Edition—Best of Complete Series (Timeless Media, 3780 min., $99.99).
This week’s top release is Inuyasha: The Final Act, Part 2 (Viz Media, “13+,” 325 min., $44.82, BD $54.97), which collects the final 13 episodes (#14-26) of the final portion of the anime series based on the popular manga by Rumiko Takahashi. Released in Japan in 2009 these final 26 episodes are based on the last 21 volumes of Takahashi’s 56-volume series. The earlier portion of the InuYasha anime series ran from 2000-2004 on Japanese TV and encompassed 167 episodes.
Re-priced reissues include the Fushigi Yugi Season 2 Collection (Media Blasters, “13+,” 650 min., $49.99), which contains episodes 27-52 of the anime based on Yu Watase’s popular shojo manga series, and the New Fist of the North Star Collection (Section 23, “17+,” 175 min., $14.98), which includes 3 OVAs that were previously released here in 2004 by ADV.
The independently produced 1932 horror film White Zombie (Kino, “Not Rated,” BD $29.95) has long been in the public domain, which means that there are plenty of fuzzy DVD versions mastered from poor TV prints. While beloved by some original horror aficionados like Forrest J. Ackermann who saw the film when it first came out, White Zombie’s reputation has suffered in part because of the poor visual quality of the existing prints. Kino’s new remastered Blu-ray solves those problems with a clear, sharp re-mastered version that restores the film’s atmospheric and occasionally brilliant visuals. Produced and directed by the brothers Edward and Victor Halperin, White Zombie was shot on the Universal lot in just 11 days. While some of the glass shots are less than state-of-the-art even for 1932, White Zombie remains an interesting film, though modern zombie fans should be prepared—the zombies in White Zombie don’t eat brains (or human flesh of any kind) rather they are automatons, slaves that wordlessly do the bidding of their master, who is played with great style by Bela Lugosi. Unfortunately his is about the only decent performance in the film. The subpar performances of the supporting cast, some clunky dialogue scenes, and a few weak transitions keep White Zombie from the pantheon of classic horror films, but in Kino’s restored version White Zombie has atmosphere galore, and is definitely “required viewing” for any horror movie fan.

The assumption that returns are non decreasing in aggregate capital is derived from the idea that there are positive spillovers from incorporating more capital, leading to increasing returns to scale for a developing country. This assumption may not be so reasonable for a developed country.
The average per share price, x depends on the actual value of fundamentals, whilst the dividends are generated by …rms which depend on the amount of capital invested in the economy, and the actual value of fundamentals. Consider …rst a game, ; of complete information. Each investor observes a private signal about the true value of fundamentals and chooses between the two types of investment opportunities based upon this private signal.
A2 Monotonicity: i. Thus, in general, direct investments are conducive to higher domestic investments, economic growth rates and investment returns. Albuquerque et al. See the discussion in Mody et al. Note also, that we are focusing on developing countries which lack a developed stock market. There is also counter-evidence provided by Lane and Milesi-Ferretti a, b : these authors document that in developed economies with highly developed …nancial structures the preferred investment tool is in the form of portfolio investment.
It is therefore perfectly plausible that the returns from portfolio investments may be at least as high as the returns from direct investments for more developed countries. Assumption A. Finally, assumption A. This fact provides this setup with the necessary global game structure, i. Hence, given A. Similarly, given A. Thus, given their signal about the fundamentals, one of three outcomes will occur. Based upon this private signal, an investor decides whether to invest in direct investment or portfolio investment.
The basic idea regarding the dominance regions in this case of incomplete information is outlined …rst and can be seen in …gure 2. For a given value of x drawn from its distribution , investor i; forms beliefs about where other people lie on the distribution. Conditioning on both x and yields the dominance regions.
An investor chooses the type of investment he wishes to undertake based upon his beliefs about what others will do depending upon his observation of xi. It is also possible to work with a more general noise structure but it will not change the main result. For more details on these issues see Morris and Shin Hence, he will invest in PI. Thus by an induction argument, it is possible to increase the limit of the upper bound until it equals x.
In this context of incomplete information, a Bayesian pure strategy for player i is a function si : R! Ai ; and Si is the set that contain all such strategies. Given these noise structure, it is easy to see how players form beliefs. For example if the realized value of the fundamental is x; then the proportion of players that will choose DI will be those who receive a signal greater than x : Hence, both DI and PI are equilibrium outcomes, based upon the private signal investors receive and due to their higher order belief and a relevant question is, given the realized state of the fundamental, what is the probability p ; x that at least DI?
Depending on how noisy the economic environment is, agents will …nd it optimal to engage relatively more into FDI versus PI investment types. Governments of the host countries as well as the institutions …nancing investment projects to those countries should therefore place a great importance on the degree of transparency and its determinants. Dynamic models which allow for repeated interactions among heterogeneous investors, may be more well suited to describe the investment cycles of a typical host country.
Such a model 12 As we already noted, this conclusion is also stressed by Goldstein and Razin. See for example, Kaufmann and Kraay W, November. W, October. Dewatripont, L. Hansen and S. Turnovsky, Eds. Cambridge, England: Cambridge University Press W, September. Related documents. Investments An Introduction. Download advertisement. Add this document to collection s.

Description optional. For a country on the rise, FPI can bring about rapid development, helping an emerging economy move quickly to take advantage of economic opportunity, creating many new jobs and significant wealth. By contrast, because FDI implies a controlling stake in a business, and often connotes ownership of physical assets such as equipment, buildings and real estate, FDI is more difficult to pull out or sell off. Consequently, direct investors may be more committed to managing their international investments, and less likely to pull out at the first sign of trouble.
This volatility has effects beyond the specific industries in which foreign investments have been made. Such quick withdrawals can produce widespread economic crises. This was partly the case in the Asian economic crisis that began in Although the economic turmoil began as a result of some broader shifts in international economic policy and some serious problems within the banking and financial sectors of the affected East Asian nations, the capital flight that ensued—some compared it to the great financial panics which took place in the United States during the 19th century— significantly exacerbated the crisis.
There are no hard and fast rules that determine patterns and levels of investment made by either institutional investors or individuals. Decisions on how these factors affect investment strategies vary from investor to investor, but in general they must be considered at some level. The first and most important factor has to do with the available assets of the person or institution making the investment.
Obviously, investment will be bound by how much money is available, but these considerations are a bit more nuanced. For example, a company with a good deal of liquid assets wouldn't necessarily invest even a sizable chunk of them if they had a lot of other commitments to meet, such as payroll and debt.
By the same token, individual investors would be ill-advised to invest money that they normally spend on bills. It all depends on the priority that the investment takes, how it interacts with other monetary priorities and what the expected result of the investment will be.
The next factor that will help to determine the level of investment is predictions on results of the investment based on the available information. Of course, no investment is foolproof enough to put all of your money into, and by the same token, even the riskiest investment might be worth throwing a little bit of extra cash at. Even though there is no guaranteed way to predict the market, awareness about possible outcomes will determine what a reasonable level of investment is.

After previously denying that she was fired from her position at the White House,that allegedly proves Chief of Staff John Kelly not only fired her, but threatened her while doing so.
During an interview on Sunday with NBC’s Meet the Press, the Apprentice-contestant-turned-Trump-aide shared a tape with the program that was allegedly recorded in secret while Kelly fired her in December 2017.
Before playing the tape, Manigault Newman —— said that she made the recording in order to “protect myself” from false stories about her time in Trump administration. Manigault Newman told Todd that she has “no regret about” recording the interaction.
Manigault Newman told Todd, Sunday, that she believed that statement proved “Donald Trump has no idea what’s happening in the White House,” although she later admitted that after having “subsequent conversations” with Trump, he did know she was being fired.
Manigault Newman also addressed a claim made in her forthcoming tell-all memoir Unhinged that Trump was recorded using the “N-word” in outtake footage from the Apprentice.
While in her book Manigault Newman claimed to have heard about the tapes from multiple sources, she alleged during the Meet the Press interview that she has since heard the comments herself.
