We all, but perhaps especially VC types, are always in search of "the next big idea." The next big idea is brilliant, simple (or complex) and original (or perhaps a slight twist on something familiar). Think AOL crossed with Wonder Bread, or Facebook crossed with automatic car washes.
I have a new idea: think video conferencing crossed with fine business dining.
Now you just go ahead and arrange to have a business meal with colleagues (or customers) in distant locations without anyone having to fly anywhere. In such a setup you can have optimal lighting and sound systems because you know people will sit down (and sit still), because they are eating. You can be having lunch in London with colleagues having breakfast in New York. Given the two locations are part of the same business you can arrange for the food to be served at the same moment in each location, and certainly you (as host) can pay for the meal in both locations with one credit card slip.
The current high-end video conference solution is Cisco's Telepresence. I understand it costs about $250,000 per location (including network costs). Assuming this is a good proxy for the costs of a great system, a restaurant chain would need to charge say $5000 per event (assuming an event is two cities only - not sure of the logistics for multiple cities), and ensure at least 100 events per location (on average) each year to cover costs. Given you could be using the facilities for a couple of meals a day, this seems doable, and much cheaper than business class air fares (no-one using this system flies coach).
Malcolm Gladwell wrote a great article in the New Yorker earlier in the year (In the Air, 5/12/08) documenting the counter-intuitive fact that big ideas are not, in fact, rare. Get a group of creative people together and they can generate lots of good ideas, some great ideas and even a few brilliant ideas. Even the big inventions of the industrial revolution were more about hard work by people who knew what was needed than about a brilliant idea occurring to someone one day, according to the later chaptersIf you want to be involved in a non-profit, then go right ahead, but don't just expect to contribute great ideas ... I am sure yours are fabulous, but they will go into the pot like everyone else ... no, you have to get involved with your commitment to do the hard work of making ideas into reality.

Throughout my own writing on Marisol’s work, specifically the close study I did of “Self-Portrait Looking at the Last Supper,” I realized that the full extent of her talents as a draughtswoman and sculptor are often less so discussed. As we celebrate her life, it’s also important to remember that despite being surrounded by very dominant, Marisol stood out for having a unique and eclectic style that resulted in majestic and often fascinating assemblages, or what art historian Cindy Nemser termed “collaged sculptures.”

B's"Dear Evan Hansen" in beaded letters. It's time for a new outfit. There's"How often do you get to change on a helipad?""Thank U, Next."
"So much of my own emotional life and my own relationships and my own kind of mental…
When Platt left Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway in 2017, he resolved to disentangle himself from Evan's swirl of self-doubt through music. "I never really considered myself having that much to offer unless I can open my mouth," Platt confesses. It was a "cathartic" act to pen his own feelings and experiences in his debut album, Sing to Me Instead. Its 2019 release — and the music video of "Ease My Mind," which featured out actor Charlie Carver as his lover — also marked the first time Platt spoke publicly about his gay identity to the media. Despite headlines at the time, he disputes the album was a coming-out moment. "I've always been out," Platt asserts. "Anyone that I've ever worked with or been directed by or written with or acted with who's known me for longer than five minutes knows full well who I am."
Galvin also helped Platt conquer the "fear and apprehension" the latter felt about returning to the Evan character for the film, one of the first U.S. studio productions made after COVID-19 ground Hollywood's gears to a halt. Galvin "has a really unique ability to help me to…
"In terms of my own personal journey, I think I'm just now learning how to revel in getting to play a queer character," adds Platt, who in addition to his role in The Politician will play queer alongside gay icons Allison Janney and Kristen Bell in the upcoming The People We Hate at the Wedding."I think it's something that I have not necessarily avoided but have been told, kind of by a lot of external voices, shouldn't be a priority or isn't necessarily the most helpful thing to my career because it can be pigeonholing."
Knowing what he has accomplished in representation, does Platt consider himself to be a role model for others?"I obviously know on some level that I must be to some people, but I don't think I can actually really internalize that on any real level," he admits, adding, "If I put too much pressure on myself in regard to trying to be an example or something to be looked up to, I think I might lose figuring out who I actually am."

(PHILADELPHIA - Marchter quality improvement plan for bacteria to protect public health and streams, creeks and a lake in the Pine Creek watershed in Allegheny County, Pa. The waters are severely impacted by sewer overflows, stormwater runoff, failing septic systems and other sources that have driven bacteria levels as high as 100 times the acceptable limits.
EPA established the bacteria Total Maximum Daily Load or TMDL for the Pine Creek watersheTMDL identifies the maximum amount of bacteria the waterbodies can accept from various sources and still meet Pennsylvania water quality standards.
“We are guiding these reductions in harmful bacteria to protect public health in the Pine Creek wawaters are meant for troutand this TMDL provides a clear path to clean water based on extensive data and sound science.”
Pine Creek flows through the North Hills area in Allegheny County and joins the Allegheny River in Etna, north of Pittsburgh. The 67-square-mile watershed includes parts of 14 municipalities.
Since 2008, PADEP has listed Pine Creek and many smaller tributaries in the watershed – 118 stream miles in all – as impaired for recreational uses. Under the federal Clean Water Act, a TMDL is required for waters listed as impaired for a particular pollutant.
EPA and PADEP solicited broad and held discussions with local governments on developing a practical framework for achieving the necessary pollution reductions.
The framework’s recommendations include encouraging municipalities to take steps that would offer significant and immediate improvements, such as connecting failing septic systems to public sewers and eliminating illicit discharges.
The final TMDL can be reviewed on the EPA mid-Atlantic Region website at:. “

"This medical system is not for health. It's not making us healthy. It's not serving us. It's keeping us sick. It's making money — it's making profit. It's not about caring for people at all. I can't be a part of it anymore."

MTC Premiership campaigners coastal giants Blue Waters launched a scathing attack on the hierarchy of accusing league officials of shortsightedness and being inconsiderate.
At the centre of the storm is the NPL’s sickening persistence on rescheduling league matches to midday at the unpopular Astroturf Sam Nujoma Stadium, notwithstanding the searing heat that has engulfed most parts of Namibia in the last couple of weeks.
Blue Waters’ long serving team manager Tostao Imbili, is a bitter man and lashed out at league authorities for turning a blind eye to the club’s request to have matches moved to other fields with conducive playing surfaces with natural grass.
We are lucky there are no league matches this weekend, because of the international break, otherwise we were going to have a catastrophe on our hands. “As we speak, we are mired in a Catch 22 situation, because a significant chunk of our playing personnel are grounded, nursing an assortment of blisters on their feet – which resulted from playing at the Astroturf pitch under extremely warm weather conditions, Imbili charged.
Fellow seasiders Eleven Arrows, also find themselves in the same boat, with some of the club’s players having fallen victim to the deplorable pitch conditions. “We filed a formal request to the league to have our matches shifted to other suitable venues, but up to this day, we are yet to received any response in that regard,” says Arrows official Killa Samaria.
NPL administrator Tovey Hoebeb shot down the claims, denying that the league received any written request or verbal communication from the aggrieved clubs. “We are aware of the problem, but it’s totally out of our hands. The crux of the matter is there are no other fields available around the city of Windhoek, because both suitable venues, Ramblers and SKW, are maximised.”
Hoebeb added that these fields are fully occupied with marathon matches, ranging from the youth academies, league matches from the lower leagues, and other social events: “The only solution is to engage the City of Windhoek to speed up the process of rehabilitating the floodlights at the candle-lit Sam Nujoma stadium. We hope to have this problem solved in the not so distant future.”

Bogdan Feliks Raczkowski (12 March 1888 – 4 October 1939) was anz from the 1920s till the outbreak of World War II.
Jan Sas Zubrzycki (1860-1935)
Jan Bagieński (1883-1967);
Tadeusz Obmiński (1874-1932).
As a result of the Russian October Revolution the same year, the couple fled Russia by boat across the Black Sea and got back home to Poznań after a journey through Romania, Hungary and Czechoslovakia. In Poznań, their daughter Danuta Walentyna was born on May 23, 1920.
The family settled in Bydgoszcz in spring 1921 at 3, Stanisław Moniuszko street. On December 29, 1921, he became a city councilor and chaired the Office of Ground Construction. After a dispute at the municipal council, Bogdan Raczkowski was dismissed these positions in April 1934: he then became an appraiser at the Bydgoszcz branch of Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego. On her side, Maria was active in Bydgoszcz branch of the Polish White Cross, the social movement created in February 1918 by Helena Paderewska, second wife of Ignacy Jan Paderewski.
Fleeing the Nazi invasion, the Raczkowski's left Bydgoszcz and moved to Marie's family estate in Kutno in September for one month.
When they came back, their house at 1, Asnyka street was occupied by a German officer: hence they moved to live at a cousin's flat, Stefan Jeżowski, on Weyssenhoff Square.
In 1921, Bogdan supported an urban development plan in the area delimited by streets Mościcki (now Sportowa), Chopina and Moniuszki.
His family lived in one of the houses of the project, located at 3 Moniuszki street.
At the same time, Raczkowski prepared an expansion project to give an area further north (Skrzetusko) an homogeneous character (sector defined by streets Płocka, Chodkiewicza, Sułkowskiego and Kozietulskiego). First realizations include today's houses at 5/7/11 Płocka street.
1926-1936 Bydgoszcz development program
His idea was to assign districts purposes:
residential for Bielawy, Skrzetusko, Szwederowo, Bielice, Wilczak and Okole;
The last chapter of this extensive project was aiming at planning the urbanization of Leśny district, so as to become a showcase of Bydgoszcz for people entering the city from the north. With that ambition, in October 1933, the architect divided the area into 9 plots. This project was completed only on the eastern side of Gdańska Street, as the Ministry of Military Affairs did not allowed the development on the western part.
Bogdan Raczkowski's education at the faculty of Lviv gave him the taste for new trends in architecture. At a time when neoclassicism was declining, technical and industrial progress opened up building potentials, with state-of-the-art materials (steel and glass) and innovative methods. In addition to the following realizations, Raczkowski also conceived habitations at Babia Wieś (1926-1927), at 22-38 Żwirki i Wigury street (1930) and prepared in the early 1920s a project -never carried out- for the basilica of St. Vincent de Paul in Bydgoszcz.

Saint Stanislaus Church in Bydgoszcz was r24, A/858/1-2) June 28, 1995
The City Council donated the plot where a former police station stood: works of demolition of the latter started in June 1923.
, by Bogdan Raczkowski
This housing estate was built in the second half of the 1920s, after a decision of the municipal authorities. At the time, the numering of the ensemble was "3a" to "3d".
Each building has a rectangular strip of land for the cultivation of vegetables and flowers. On both sides of the arched entrances, one can notice loggias .
Tenement at 5 Libelta street, 1928-1929
This four-storey residential building at 5 Libelta street displays early modernist style, as one can find also at 51/57 and 107 Jagiellońska street.
In one of the flats lived Adam Grzymała-Siedlecki (1876–1967), a Polish literary and theater critic, playwright, translator, writer and director, who in this flat at Nr.5. He bequeathed to the city of Bydgoszcz all his manuscripts, his private library (more than 300 works) which were moved to the Municipal Library. The institution still tends his last place as a small museum in his memory.
Villas at 1 and 1A Asnyka street, 1932
This villa, where Bogdan Raczkowski and his family lived, is designed in the Functionalist style. The house was occupied by Nazi officials after the invasion of Poland in 1939.
The neighbouring villa at 1A Asnyka -on a Bogdan's design- was built shortly before the outbreak of World War II.
Building at 12 Poniatowskiego street, 1933
The first building stage included among others:
a basement with three rooms for manual work;
a second floor with a lounge and 4 classrooms;
a third floor comprising a drawing room and a space for scientific collections.

Bridging the Gap Between Energy Use Goals and Energy Use Results/
The commercial real estate industry prides itself on accountability and execution, but even many of the leaders in the field are failing to meet the expectations of tenants and the markets in one crucial area.
A troublesome myth proliferating throughout the commercial real estate and energy efficiency space professes that the solution to reducing energy use is through expensive retrofits and installations. Many property managers or owners may balk at the expenditure required to install building automation system, smart elevators, smart lighting or any other costly upgrade promised to modernize buildings and reduce energy use. Aside from the risky capital expenditure required by these retrofits, management teams can only guess at the actual impact of any given installation on a building’s energy use without a legitimate data-driven analysis. Whether a building management professional is looking to fulfill a pledge to reduce use by 60%, or improve their Energy Star score, or create energy savings, they need accurate, real-time data on their buildings’ operations and energy consumption to know where to begin. By providing critical analytics and illustrative graphs, Energy Management Systems (EMS) empower property management teams to accomplish and even surpass their energy efficiency goals.
For building engineers or facility managers who are looking to cut down spending on energy use and optimize their building’s operations, EMS is the natural first step . Whether or not a property has a Building Management System, which automates controls of the buildings operations, EMS can be installed easily and inexpensively. Many building management teams will choose to adopt EMS as their first and only step towards energy efficiency, especially after their properties experience the immediate energy savings that EMS delivers, not to mention the time-saving features such as automatedFor others, EMS is the first step that provides crucial insight into future retrofits.
Although EMS has proven to improve customers’ Energy Star scores, cut energy spending and reduce emissions, some property management teams may seek additional building upgrades to meet their energy efficiency goals. Dan Probst, the Global Chairman of JLL’s Energy and Sustainability team and an expert in the field, articulates three tasks necessary for a successful energy efficiency improvement plan. Probst recommends that decision-makers rank the energy impact of each potential project, review energy consumption with energy engineers, and use a “baseline energy model” to predict costs, savings and performance indicators. If executed properly, these are the steps that will lead to choosing the project with the best ROI. In the abstract, this prescriptive process seems it would indeed guide a management team towards a solution for energy efficiency. But in reality, decision-makers cannot so easily acquire accurate statistics and usage analytics. EMS fills the information gap so your property can follow best practices when it comes to evaluating retrofits and renovations.
Clearlylarge gap between energy efficiency goals and actual reduction in energy use. MACH’s flagship EMS software platform, Insights, bridges that divide so property management teams can overcome the obstacles preventing their buildings from achieving significant energy use reduction. The software monitors your buildings utility usage and analyzes thoseat data into actionable reports that inform solutions for energy efficiency. Properties equipped with Insights will stand above their peers when it comes to meeting energy goals.

As an Artist from Pleasanton, I came across your last Pioneer Gallery showing from an artist friend. I toured your downtown for the first time and found it charming, but as many downtowns, I could see a lack of shoppers. I did notice this building away from the central hub of retail activity and wondered if it would be in use again as it did look very run down. I hope the city will help out as this is going to take some major funding. It does look promising and with a lot of funding and elbow grease it could be spectacular. Why was it

Apart from providing faithful companionship, dogs have a variety of useful skills that they gladly contribute to humans. But are dogs reliable expert witnesses? They might possess relevant expert knowledge, but they are handicapped by an inability to express their thoughts in human language. And since no human can read a dog’s mind, the human filter through which a dog’s knowledge must pass is inherently suspect.
The Florida Court of Appeals recently considered a murder conviction that was based almost entirely on dog handlers’ opinions that their cadaver dogs alerted on the defendant’s vehicle. Although no body was ever found, the court affirmed the admission of the expert testimony and thus affirmed the conviction.
The home was in a gated neighborhood. Surveillance footage showed Vilet driving her car through the gate in the early morning. She had returned home after spending the night with a co-worker. The children were with Torrez.
Suspecting that a homicide had occurred, the police summoned a cadaver dog named Jewel to the scene, along with her handler, Officer Gregory Strickland. Jewel alerted to several spots on the lawn near the front door. Strickland interpreted the alerts to mean that Jewel detected the odor of a dead body in those locations. No physical evidence supported that interpretation.
Vilet’s body has never been found. On the strength of human interpretations of “alerts” given by two dogs, Florida charged Torrez with murder. A jury convicted him. Torrez appealed, challenging the expert testimony given by the dogs’ handlers.
During the car “line-up,” Strickland claims not to have known which vehicle belonged to Torrez. Whether Jewel was able to see other officers in the parking lot who did know which vehicle belonged to Torrez is unclear. Perhaps both dogs alerted to Torrez’ car because they were responding to visual cues rather than scents.
Prior to trial, Torrez that Strickland and Martinez proposed to give. Strickland testified that Jewel had hundreds of hours of training in the detection of human remains. She was certified as a cadaver dog by a police association that certifies police dogs. Strickland testified that he was only aware of one instance in which Jewel alerted in the absence of human remains. On that occasion, she apparently detected the odor of a bucket of shrimp.
The trial court purported to apply Florida’s newly established Daubert standard. It determined that the dogs were trained and accurate in detecting human remains and that their handlers were qualified to interpret the dogs’ alerts. Vilet’s disappearance was circumstantial evidence of her death that, in the court’s view, corroborated the handlers’ conclusions that her body had been transported in Torres’ car.
Remarkably, the appellate court held that “courts need not consider the science underlying testimony relating to cadaver dog evidence.” In civil cases, Daubert hearings are almost entirely devoted to the adequacy of the underlying science that supports an expert’s opinion. Why should a lesser standard be applied in a criminal case, where the evidence may lead to a deprivation of liberty?
e: “e, “”
In response to lobbying by the insurance and medical industries, many states have adopted laws that make it more difficult to find expert witnesses who are permitted to testify in medical malpractice cases. Doctors who clearly have the expertise required to offer an informed opinion are precluded from testifying based on arbitrary criteria imposed by legislators who want to protect negligent doctors and their insurers from the consequences of malpractice.
Unfortunately, actual qualifications often give way to the artificial qualifications imposed by legislatures. The surgeon’s insurer argued that Dr. Rytlewski could not give admissible expert testimony because hee.
Nothing in the structure of the sentence or ordinary rules of grammar compels that conclusion. The court’s claim that “requiring licensure” modifies the three preceding words (“health care profession”) rather than the six preceding words (“person in a health care profession”) is unsupported by precedent, grammatical rules, or logic.
The legislature’s actual purpose in enacting the law might have been negligence, but its stated purpose was to assure that expert witnesses are qualified. Reading the statute to apply only to persons who require licensure would serve that purpose and avoid the injustice of disqualifying experts who do not require licensure but are authorized to practice medicine in Tennessee.
A popular Netflix series has called attention to the faulty science behind bite mark evidence.
Bryan Gutierrez died three months before his second birthday. Efforts to revive him after he stopped breathing were futile. A paramedic eventually used forceps to extract a wad of paper towels, about the size of an egg, from his throat. By that time, however,is body was kept alive for another three months, but he suffered brain death.
In the absence of an eyewitness or any physical evidence suggesting a crime had been committed, prosecutors attempted to prove that a boy as young as Bryan could not have stuffed paper towels so far down his throat. Since Jimenez was the only adult present, the prosecution theorized that she must have done it.
A pediatric ICU doctor echoed the ER physician’s testimony and expressed the opinion that there was “no way” Bryan could have placed the paper towels in his mouth by himself. She testified that Bryan must have been forcibly held down, despite the absence of any bruises that would have supported that testimony.
The defense pointed out Jimenez’ DNA was not found on the paper towels. The defense also argued that the untrained officer who first arrived on the scene may have forced the paper towels farther into Bryan’s throat while attempting to administer CPR.
Kanfer also testified that a toddler could wad up paper towels and swallow them, particularly if they were wet. There was evidence that Bryan had a history of throwing paper into the toilet.
Had Jimenez’ defense lawyer called an expert in pediatric otolaryngology — an expert with appropriate credentials who would not have been so easily flustered on the witness stand — the trial outcome might have been different. Unfortunately, publicly funded defense lawyers in states like Texas are unable to match the resources available to prosecutors.
Child abuse justifiably makes people angry. Some prosecutors seize upon that anger to convince juries to base verdicts on their emotions rather than the facts. An evidence-based appeal to rationality is the only strategy that counters that emotion. The strategy begins by identifying and finding a way to fund the right expert witness.

Over time, raiding and thieving became a way of life for many, an accepted means of supplementing your food supply in lean times. Out away from more prosperous parts, it's still a desperate world, full of people who have no qualms about robbing a stranger to feed their kids.
These days, every government or power structure operates a bit like a warlord. A company administrator hands out rations and beatings just as well as a tribal chief or an elected mayor. Traditions and pieces of paper don't bring power the way food and guns do.
Makeshift and repurposed
After a great collapse, people tell stories about the world that came before. The past is simplified and idealized, turned into a standard story to help you understand the way things are now.
Some people say it was a better time, venerating the ancestors and calling for a return to their way of life. Some say it was a decadent age, swept away in a great cleansing of the world.
I've got a few ideas for posts I'm working on. What would you like to see next?

You must have heard of the online banks ?
The online banks are these completely dematerialized banks that shake up the financial market.
We talk about it below in a little more detail, especially to tell you about the interest of going through an online banking comparison.
If you are on a tight budget and find that you are spending far too much money on bank fees that are all the more unjustified because other banks charge little or no fees, it's time to switch banks.
The revolution of the moment, of the last few years to be exact, are the internet banks where everything is virtual.
You chat with your bank advisor, you need to block your account, make a transfer or anything else, everything is done from your smartphone, tablet or computer. Ultra-convenient.
But of course, to deposit a check you must go through a partner bank, etc.
But the prices are really lower, so it's up to you to see if it's a good solution for you or not.

A new Gallup poll released reflects that only 45% of people surveyed are proud to be an American. Sounds about right. Pretty consistent with the percentage of people who support Donald Trump. Extrapolating those two metrics suggests that about 4.5 out of every 10 Americans are lunatics. Also sounds about right. I always thought it was lower, but the past couple of decades has proven otherwise.
We really are a nation of sheep—blinding following protocols that are irrational and simply repeating what we are told because that is what we have always done. As Thoreau noted long ago
I totally get that having days off is laughs and drinks—it’s just this continual assertion that our country is somehow a shining beacon measured against other countries is ludicrous. And most important, is inhibits any significant self-reflection as a country. We tell ourselves we are the greatest nation and therefore it must be true. Just don’t peek under the covers. Of course all data and metrics reflect that America is at best a mediocre entity. As a nation, we are pretty dickish and always have been.
It’s hard to get behind a country that starts a new war 6,000 miles away every decade or so, stubbornly repeating the same mistakes of many colonizers before us and whom left a rich historical legacy for us to learn from—or not, which seems to be the case. We, I guess, just magically believe that our particular brand of invasion somehow will bring tears of joy in response to our bombs and 19-year old gun toting confused kids rather than the tears of anger and hurt and frustration that actually manifest. And now, as we see our own government separate parents from their kids and put them in cages in inhumane conditions it is more difficult that ever to summon any sort of pride in our government or country. Instead, we wonder how we got here. How can we have sunk to a depth of such ignorance and aggression; how can so many celebrate the humiliation and torture of so many people who merely seek a better life for their families. It is suicidally depressing to know that this is how we choose to spend our tax dollars. We hurt and maim and humiliate rather than help. Ahhh…. Fuck.
Trump has given his family front and center roles in his administration. So at the G-20 summit, there was Ivanka, with zero diplomatic experience, trying to join in conversations with Macron, Teresa May, Christine Lagarde and other world leaders. They, rightfully, gave her short shrift. And the problem is that there are thousands of women in our diplomatic corps who now see the only real qualification to climbing the ladder is being married to or the daughter of someone important.
So, that’s the 4th of July post.

The event was designed as a follow-up to a lecture the previous night on institutional courage.

"The full weight of what the statement said didn't sink in until I was halfway through and I felt my heart drop," Gallagher said. "I started tearing up. It was such a profoundly intimate experience to be able to express these concerns from another student through my voice."
The narratives were collected as part of a survey sent out to students, staff, faculty and alumni by event organizers . Three hundred and eighteen people responded to the survey, 195 of which were current students.

"I love this place," Houck said. "The last time I stood in this room was near the end of my time as a staff person and we had a crowd of active bystanders who were committed to changing the culture… Everybody wants this to change, I believe that, and I have absolved myself of this university because I need it to change. Please students, hold them accountable."

"I really appreciated what Sandy Chung had to say," said senior Lydia Heye. "It was really encouraging as a student to see that our Title IX program is in really good hands… Now more than ever I really am confident that real change is going to happen here."
The event from the previous night featured a lecture where Jpresented research she had done about betrayal trauma and institutional betrayal. Freyd suggestions for how universities can address institutional trauma include:
Respond sensitively to victim disclosures
Bear witness, be accountable, apologize
Cherish the whistleblower
Engage in Self-Study (of the institution)

the DSSI terms are revised to allow greater financial relief. Other sovereigns, however, do not appear to face similar constraints. Countries such as Angola, Pakistan, and Papua New Guinea participated in the DSSI despite having outstanding international bonds (see end note 1 on how we view sovereign defaults on commercial debts and official debts).
When the DSSI was launched, private sector debt holder’s participation was strongly encouraged. The World Bank estimated that commercial lending accounted for about 20% of external debt of DSSI-eligible countries (see chart 4). For some members of the group, however, commercial debt accounted for as much as half of external debt (see chart 5).
Demand For Equal Treatment Among Creditors
The need to balance the interests of official and commercial creditors can sometimes complicate debt relief negotiations. In refusing Zambia’s request for a payment suspension, international investors in Zambia’s Eurobond cited concerns that any relief that they grant could be used to repay the Zambian government’s arrears to some Chinese banks. Media reports said they viewed as unequal treatment the Zambian government’s nonpayment on their debts while payments to Chinese lenders continued. On their part, Chinese official lenders wanted the Zambian government to clear its arrears with them before granting debt relief, according to news reports.
The initiative provides a helping hand in the form of liquidity assistance to sovereigns that most need it in the face of the economic and other pressures brought about by the global pandemic. The increased transparency required of participating countries is also helpful for better assessments of their credit strengths. However, DSSI does little to ease the heavy debt burden that many of these countries shoulder and some sovereigns have not participated.
This situation may not change much wiannounced in mid-November at the extraordinarannouncement listed “where applicable, debt reduction in net present value terms” as a key parameter to be agreed on by creditors. However, it considered debt write-off or cancellation to happen only in the “most difficult cases.” This could mean that reliefs are likely to come in the form of maturity extensions and lower interest rates.
2. A significant debt write-off of China’s loans to DSSI countries is unlikely to be a serious hit to China’s financial system. Camounted to about US$120 billion. Even if a sizable portion of this was written off without compensation, it would still amount to much less than the US$130 billion bad debts written off by Chinese banks in 2019.: [email protected] </s> Teacher, grade 5 and Kindergarten Science Teacher

Motorcycle accidents can be far more damaging to a person’s health and well-being than other motor vehicle accidents, due to the fact that a motorcycle rider has no cushion between his or her body and the road. The results are typically trauma to the head or spine, often requiring long-term medical attention.
No family shouldne. But unfortunately, another person’s negligence sometimes results in a death. When this happens, the family of the deceased individual can be compensated for the death.

It's too bad. But I went to Record Theatre in the University Plaza on Monday to see if I could buy the big Chuck Berry box set of his music on Chess at its going out of business sale. The place was packed. There were exactly two Chuck Berry records left in the whole store: two copies of his first record "After School."

Evolution is based on the assumption that competing players update their strategies to increase their individual payoffs. However, while the applied updating method can be different, most of previous works proposed uniform models where players use identical way to revise their strategies. In this work we explore how imitation-based or learning attitude and innovation-based or myopic best response attitude compete for space in a complex model where both attitudes are available. In the absence of additional cost the best response trait practically dominates the whole snow-drift game parameter space which is in agreement with the average payoff difference of basic models. When additional cost is involved then the imitation attitude can gradually invade the whole parameter space but this transition happens in a highly nontrivial way. However, the role of competing attitudes is reversed in the stag-hunt parameter space where imitation is more successful in general. Interestingly, a four-state solution can be observed for the latter game which is a consequence of an emerging cyclic dominance between possible states. These phenomena can be understood by analyzing the microscopic invasion processes, which reveals the unequal propagation velocities of strategies and attitudes.
Dynamics of evolution Population dynamics and ecological pattern formation Social and economic systems
To imitate a more successful strategy is a frequently applied microscopic rule within the framework of evolutionary game theoretical models which focus on the fundamental conflict of individual and community benefits [1, 2] . This assumption is partly motivated by biological systems where payoff is interpreted as fitness or reproductive success [3] . Considering more sophisticated human systems, where similar social dilemmas are on stage, there are other alternative suggestions for strategy updating rules that take account of cognitive skills of competitors. During the last decades theoretical models have raised several ways how to update strategies including myopic best response [4, 5, 6, 7, 8] , learning, or reinforcement learning strategies [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17] . In parallel, a huge number of experimental works have been published, but sometimes their conclusions are conflicting which make difficult the comparison with theoretical predictions [18, 19, 20, 21] .
One of the possible reasons of contradicting experimental results could be that we cannot be fully sure what is the microscopic motivation of individual competitors when they update their strategies. Furthermore the simultaneous presence of different updating traits or attitudes cannot be excluded, which makes the evaluation of different external conditions even harder. Interestingly, this fact has been largely ignored by theoretical works because most of them assume uniform players in the sense that they all apply the same method or attitude to revise their present states. In this letter we consider a simple model where two conceptually different attitudes are available for individuals who try to reach a higher payoff. These strategy updating methods are based on imitation or innovation and players are using one of them during a microscopic step. Beside heterogeneous attitudes we also extend the basic models by considering the fact that applying a certain attitude may be costly. For example, innovation requires additional investment from a player or imitation assumes a permanent effort to monitor others’ activity and score their success. These effects can be modeled by considering an additional cost to a specific attitude [22, 23, 24, 25, 26] . As we will show, even a very simple model can provide highly complex behavior and the viability of a certain attitude or strategy updating method depends sensitively on the model parameters. Furthermore, their relation may change repeatedly by varying only a single parameter, but without changing the original character of a certain social dilemma.
We consider pairwise social games where mutual cooperation provides the reward R=1, mutual defection leads to punishment P=0. The remaining two payoff values are free parameters of our model to navigate among different dilemma situations. These are the sucker’s payoff S of a cooperator against a defector and the temptation value T for the latter player. For simplicity we assume that players are distributed on a square lattice with periodic boundaries where every player interacts with four nearest neighbors when total payoff is calculated. Nevertheless, we stress that our main findings remain unchanged if we use different interaction topologies including triangle and hexagonal lattices or random network.
In addition to the mentioned C and D strategies players are also characterized by a special attitude or trait which determines how they revise their strategies. If a player x is described by the trait imitation (IM) then she adopts the strategy sy from a neighboring y player with a probability
W(sx→sy)=(1+exp[(Πx−Πy)/K])−1,
where Π denotes the accumulated payoff values gained from two-player games with nearest neighbors. This sum is reduced by an attitude-specific cost of focal player. In particular, an imitating player bears an additional ϵIM cost, while a player who uses (myopic) best response (BR) to update her strategy should bear ϵBR. The remaining parameter K determines the noise level of imitation process. In the alternative case, when the x player’s attitude is characterized by (myopic) best response to update her strategy, then she changes her sx strategy to s′x with a probability
Γ(sx→s′x)=(1+exp[(Πx−Π′x)/K])−1,
where Πx and Π′x are the income of player x when playing sx and s′x for the given neighborhood. For simplicity we applied the same noise level as for the above described imitation process.
Since our principal interest to explore how different attitudes compete we also allow individual attitude to change. When this microscopic process is executed, which is independent from the previously specified strategy update, we assume that a player y forces her attitude or individual trait upon a neighboring player x with the probability defined by Eq. 1. Technically we thus have a four-state model, where strategy and individual attitude coevolve during the evolutionary process.
Figure 1: Border lines on T−S plane of snow-drift game separating the regions where either imitation (IM) or best response (BR) attitude dominates. Panel (a) shows the borders calculated from the payoff differences of basic models where either imitation or best response strategy update is used exclusively. Panel (b) denotes the phase boundaries resulted from the complex model where both attitudes are present in the initial states. ϵBR=ϵIM=0 are used for both panels. The applied K noise levels are denoted in the legend.
We have performed Monte Carlo simulations and monitored the fractions of strategies and attitudes. If players’ attitudes reached a uniform state we terminated the simulation because the system become equivalent to a basic model where either imitation or best response rule is used exclusively to update individual strategies [7] . Similarly, if strategy distribution becomes uniform because either C or D strategy goes extinct then we also stopped simulation. In the latter case further evolution becomes uninteresting because in the absence of different strategies the competition of attitudes is determined by their additional costs or, if these are equal, the dynamics resembles to the voter-model like dynamics [27, 28] . This explains why we only consider snow-drift and stag-hunt games and leave prisoner’s dilemma game out. Namely, in the latter case the system practically terminates onto a full defection state and this destination can only be avoided if we assume additional mechanisms [29, 30, 31] . But the scope of present work is to explore the possible consequence of simultaneous attitudes hence we keep the original basic model without considering further mechanisms.
First we summarize our observations obtained for snow-drift game when no additional costs of attitudes are considered. Figure 1(b) highlights that if the T value is close to 1, which means that the temptation to defect is small, then the imitation attitude will spread in the whole system during the coevolutionary process. But for high T temptation values the evolutionary outcome is reversed and the best response attitude crowds out the alternative trait. This observation is in close agreement with the prediction based on the comparison of average payoff values of basic models where only uniform attitude is applied. This comparison is plotted in Fig. 1(a) where higher payoff can be reached by applying imitation dynamics at low T values, but best response attitude offers a higher general payoff for individuals when we increase the temptation value. Interestingly, the payoff difference is practically independent of the applied noise value, but the latter has a significant impact on the phase boundary when attitudes properly compete. As Fig. 1(b) shows the higher the noise value the smaller the parameter space where imitation can dominate. This phenomenon can be understood if we consider that the error in imitation will always destroy the efficiency of homogeneous cooperator domains, while this error has no real impact on the role-separating arrangement of C−D pairs when best-response attitude is at work.
Figure 1(b) also shows that there is a reentrant phase transition from BR to IM to BR phase as we increase S value at specific fixed T values. This behavior is a straightforward consequence of the relation of cooperator players having different attitudes. At high S the payoff of a cooperator using best response becomes competitive with the payoff of defectors hence the former BC player can resist the invasion of imitation attitude. Similarly, small positive S value also provides a stable support to BC players to maintain the checkerboard-like pattern of best response phase. They can resist the invasion of IC imitator cooperators whose low density in IM phase makes them vulnerable. Between these extreme cases the relatively high S provides a competitive payoff for IC players whose higher density makes the whole IM phase strong. To confirm this argument in Fig. 2(a) we have plotted the differences of elementary invasion steps for all cases where players invade a neighboring site that was occupied previously by a different attitude. This panel shows clearly the non-monotonous change between IC and BC states which is mainly responsible for the observed reentrant transition.
Figure 2: Efficiency of microscopic invasion processes between different states in dependence on S at fixed T=1.1 for K=0.1 when no additional costs are considered (ϵIM=ϵBR=0). Only those steps are shown which modify the fractions of competing attitudes. The borders of different phases are marked by dashed vertical lines. While panel (a) shows the details of specific elementary invasions as described by legend, panel (b) shows their accumulated values which determine the final outcome of competition. For better clarity we have used I for IM and B for BR players in the legend where elementary invasion processes are specified.
From Fig. 1(b) we can conclude that best response attitude can practically dominate the majority of snow-drift quadrant because the emerging role-separating pattern makes it viable. One may expect that if we increase the ϵBR cost of this attitude then imitation attitude can gradually invade the whole parameter space. This expectation is justified but in a highly non-trivial way. Figure 3 illustrates that the area of IM phase expands as ϵBR is increased but the shape of phase separating border could be tangled at intermediate cost values. For example, at ϵBR=0.1,S=0.8 we can observe three consecutive phase transitions from IM→BR→IM→BR phase by changing only the value of temptation T.
Figure 3: Phase diagrams on T−S plane for different cost values of best response update rule while the cost of imitation strategy update remained ϵIM=0. The former cost is ϵBR=0,0.05,0.1, and 0.25 for panel (a) to panel (d) respectively. Here orange (green) denotes the parameter area where imitation (myopic best response) attitude prevails as a result of the coevolutionary process. The noise value is K=0.1 for all cases.
In the latter case the explanation of these transitions is more subtle because it cannot be confirmed by comparing only a single pair of competing states. As earlier, in Fig. 4 we have recorded the successful elementary invasion steps at three representative S values in dependence on T. The explanation of three transitions at high S value, shown in top row, is the following. If we start increasing temptation from T=1 then ID becomes more powerful and simultaneously IC weakens. At the same time BC remains intact in the BR domain because S remains high. As a result, IC weakens against BC which involves the decay of IM phase against BR phase. Indeed, ID becomes also stronger against BC, but the former effect is more substantial, as Fig. 4(b) panel illustrates. Increasing T further the average cooperation level does not change relevantly. (This plateau was illustrated in Fig. 4(c) of Ref. [7] where the basic IM model was studied.) However, the further increase of T makes ID even powerful. As a result, ID can invade BC more intensively, which will reverse the direction of propagation between BR and IM phases. The last transition can be explained by the relation of BD and ID players, which becomes important for this parameter region. While the former remains fit among BC players the latter cannot utilize high T because the density of IC players decays rapidly. This is why BD will beat ID more frequently which causes the victory of BR phase again.
At intermediate S value, shown in middle row of Fig. 4, the previously mentioned plateau of the basic IM model disappears, hence ID players are unable to utilize the constant support of IC neighbors. Consequently, we can observe only a single transition from IM to BR phase. At smaller S value, however, we face a new situation because small S cannot maintain IC players in IM phase for higher T values. This is illustrated by the invasion rates shown in the bottom row of Fig. 4 where the invasion success of BC against IC diminishes for T>1.5. Here BC cannot beat IC players anymore and the advantage of BR phase over IM solution disappears. Instead, a pure ID phase competes with the previously mentioned checkerboard-like pattern of BR phase. Here ID players can utilize their advantage over BD players who have to bear the extra ϵBR=0.1 cost. As a result, IM phase strikes back when temptation exceeds T=1.5 value. As we increase T further, the disadvantage of additional cost becomes marginal and the stable support of BC neighbors will provide a competitive payoff for BD players, which explains why BR phase can win again.
Figure 4: The success of elementary invasion steps between competing attitudes for different values of fixed S in dependence on temptation T. Top row shows the results for S=0.8, middle row for S=0.5, and bottom row for S=0.2. As for Fig. 2, left column shows the full details of invasion, while right column summarizes their impacts on the direction of invasion between competing solutions. As earlier, the critical T values of phase transition points are marked by dashed vertical lines. Other parameters are K=0.1,ϵBR=0.1, and ϵIM=0.
The comparative plots of Fig. 5 provide a deeper insight into the consecutive phase transitions as we increase the temptation value. Here we first separated the lattice into two parts where the solutions of basic models evolved independently due to the applied parameter values. More precisely, players using best response attitude were closed in the central domain where this subsystem relaxed to the BR phase, while players using imitation attitude were in the surrounding space where IM phase evolved. In other words, neither strategy nor attitude transfer was allowed across the separating borders which are marked by dashed white lines. These final states of the relaxation, which are the initial states of attitude competitions, are plotted in the top row of Fig.5. After we removed the borders, the starting strategy and attitude transfer resulted in a complete success of one of the basic solutions. We note that the final states are not shown here, but can be read out from the top row of Fig.4. Instead, we have recorded the ”trace” of invasion steps for every cases. More precisely in the bottom row of Fig. 5 we colored those lattice sites where invasion happened during the whole competition until sole IM or BR state was reached. The applied colors, which are plotted in the bottom of the Figure, mark the last invasion process at a given position.
Figure 5: Competition of attitudes for different temptation values for T=1.15,1.45,1.7, and 1.9 (from left to right). The other parameters, S=0.8,ϵIM=0,ϵBR=0.1,K=0.1 and L=80, are fixed for all cases. Top row shows the initial separation of lattice where the composition of best response players are surrounded by players who apply imitation-based strategy update rule. First invasion across the vertical phase separating lines are forbidden hence subsystem solutions are relaxed to the characteristic states which are determined by T,S, and K values. When competition starts by removing the border between them then either IM or BR phase prevails depending on the T value (not shown). Bottom row illustrates the trace of elementary processes during the invasion. To distinguish them we used the same color coding as for Fig. 2 and Fig. 4.
Figure 5(a) demonstrates that at small T value the IM state is full of IC players who can support each other effectively and collect high payoff value. As a consequence, IM phase can easily invade BR phase at this parameter region. The corresponding Fig. 5(e) illustrates that in this case the most typical change between the competing states is when the previously mention strong IC player invades the weaker member of BR phase, which is BC player. As we increase temptation value, shown in Fig. 5(b), the density of IC players decays which weakens them significantly. At the same time ID cannot gain enough power because the T value is still moderate. As a result, the direction of invasion turns back and BR starts propagating. Indeed, the related Fig. 5(f) demonstrates that the BD→ID and BD→IC transitions become dominant. As we already noted, by increasing T further the density of IC players does not change relevantly due to the high value of S. This is clearly visible in Fig. 5(c), where IM phase before the competition remained practically unchanged. It means that ID players can enjoy undisturbed support from IC neighbors but the former is already armed by a higher T payoff. That explains why the IM phase can invade again because the ID→BC transition, marked by light orange, becomes relevant. Lastly, if we increase temptation value T further then ID becomes too successful within IM phase, hence the density of IC players decays drastically, as it is shown in Fig. 5(d). Consequently, ID players are unable to enjoy the support of neighboring IC players when they fight against the external BR phase. BD players of the latter phase, however, can still enjoy the solid support of BC neighbors due to the checkerboard-like patter of this phase. That explains why BD players can beat ID players, and BD phase invades IM phase no mater the former attitude should still bear an extra cost. This phenomenon is nicely illustrated in Fig. 5(h) where dark green pixels emerged more frequently. To summarize the surprisingly different outcomes of evolution processes we have provided an animation [32] , where all discussed cases are shown simultaneously using the same S=0.8,ϵBR=0.1 values and the only difference is the temptation value as it is described by Fig. 5.
In the rest of this work we present our observations obtained for stag hunt game, where R>T>P>S rank characterizes the dilemma. The most fundamental difference from the above discussed snow-drift dilemma is best response attitude cannot provide a checkerboard-like pattern here, hence homogeneous solutions compete for space [8] . In this situation imitation is more effective when both attitudes are free from additional cost, because IM attitude can extend full C state to a larger area on T−S plane. This is illustrated in Fig. 6(a), where we plotted the phase diagram using ϵIM=ϵBR=0 cost values at K=0.1. If T is too small then defectors die out very early and both basic models terminate into a full cooperator state. Increasing T best response attitude does better and invades the whole space. This state is marked by IM, but we note that full cooperator state is still maintained. Increasing temptation further there is a sharp transition into the full D state that is in agreement with the basic models where uniform attitudes are assumed [7] .
The invasion of IM phase into the BR phase reveals an interesting phenomenon that is based on the unequal propagation speeds of strategy and attitude. To illustrate it in Fig. 6(c) we start the evolution from an initial state where two stable solutions of basic models are present at T=0.35,S=−0.7. More precisely BD players, who are in the middle of this panel are fighting against IC players who surround them. When evolution starts BD players at the frontier change their attitude first and become ID players. This new state, which is not present in the initial state, is marked by dark red color in Fig. 6(d). The whole propagation process can be followed in an animation we provided as supplementary information [33] . It is important to note that this new state has a special role on the propagation of IC players. On one hand, ID cannot be utilized by MD players, but on the other hand the former could be more successful than the latter since they enjoy the vicinity of IC players. This explains why ID (dark red) propagates in the sea of BD (light red). Interestingly, the triumph of ID is just temporary because they immediately are invaded by IC players. The latter process ensures a thin protecting skin around IC domain in a self-regulating way. Put differently, ID helps IC to invade BR phase and after, fulfilling its job, ID goes extinct. This is the so-called ”the Moor has done his duty, the Moor may go” effect which was previously observed in a completely different system where punishing strategies were involved in a public goods game [34] .
Naturally, if we apply a significant cost for imitation attitude then it looses its advantage and players using best response attitude will dominate. As a result, the area of full C state shrinks on the T−S plane and its border shifts to the S=T−1 line in the zero noise limit, which characterizes the BR basic model. Interestingly, a moderate ϵIM cost allows a new kind of solution to emerge. To illustrate it we present a phase diagram plotted in Fig. 6(b) where ϵIM=0.02 was applied. This diagram suggests that at some parameter values all competing states can survive and coexist. This coexistence is based on a cyclic dominance between microscopic states and a typical spatial pattern is plotted in Fig. 6(e). As the pattern suggests IC (dark blue) invades BD (light red) with the help of ID (dark red) players. Here the role of ID is the same as we described above. However, BC (light blue) invades IC (dark blue) because the former should bear an extra cost. Lastly, BD (light red) invades BC (light blue) because the best response basic model dictates a full D state at this T−S parameter values. For clarity we also provided an animation where the dynamics of this states can be followed [35] .
The above description of cyclic dominance explains why we cannot observe coexistence for too high ϵIM values. In the latter case the vicinity of IC cannot compensate the high cost value of ID, hence ID cannot invade BD domain anymore. As a result, the cyclic chain of invasions is broken and system terminates into a state where the population is described by a homogeneous state. This behavior is in close agreement with our general understanding about the positive role of cyclic dominance to maintain diversity of microscopic states [36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45] .
Figure 6: Panel (a): phase diagram on T−S plane of stag-hunt game for ϵBR=ϵIM=0 at K=0.1. C (D) denotes the phase where defectors (cooperators) die out very early. When IM imitation attitude prevails, the system evolves into a full cooperator state. Panel (b) shows the phase diagram when ϵIM=0.02 is applied for imitation attitude. Here CYC denotes a solution where all available states coexist due to cyclic dominance. Panel (c) shows the initial state of competition when stable solutions of basic models (full IC and full BD) start competing at T=0.35,S=−0.7, and ϵIM=ϵBR=0. Panel (d) illustrates a representative intermediate state of invasion before imitation attitude invades the whole system. During the invasion a new state, ID, emerges which highlights the unequal invasion speeds of attitude and strategy. Panel (e) illustrates the cyclic dominance between IC→BD→BC→IC states at T=0.7,S=−0.5, and ϵIM=0.02. The color codes of microscopic states are identical to those we used in top row of Fig. 5.
To sum up, we have shown that the success of different strategy updating traits or attitudes may depend sensitively on the actual payoff values which characterize a social dilemma. In most of the parameter regions we detected homogeneous populations but we can observe several transitions between an imitation dominant state to a population which is described by best response attitude. Our key finding is attitudes and strategies may propagate with different speeds which makes it possible for several interesting pattern formation to emerge. For example, consecutive re-entrant phase transitions are detected by only changing a single parameter without modifying the fundamental character of a social dilemma. We have also shown that cyclic dominance can emerge between microscopic states no matter there are only two major C and D strategies. Indeed, it was previously found that a two-strategy system can produce similar cyclic dominance in spatial systems [46] , but the mentioned example assumed diverse timescales during the evolution. Our present observations emphasize that the microscopic origin of diversity has just a second-order importance because every type of microscopical diversity could be a source of cyclical dominance among competing states.
We note that all the presented results are robust to replacing lattice-type interaction topology by random graph, and can be observed also for other parameter values. We conclude that considering simultaneous presence of different strategy updating or learning attitudes might be a new research avenue for modeling human behavior in social dilemmas more realistically.

Python application developme online and software development and data analytics, machine learning, and even design.
As we explained in our overview of programming languages, Python application development is a high-level (easier for humans to understand) object-oriented (data-oriented) programming language. It was initially published in 1992 and is intended to be simple to write and comprehend. As a result, it’s a great coding language for people who want to get things done quickly.
Python application development d programming. It’s easy to learprogramming.
It has a vibrant community.
It could pave the way for a wealthy career.
Python application development is expected to be a future-proof skill since it can be used in variouPython is a wonderful language to learn now
Python is a pretty basic programming language in comparison to many others, as we’ve already established. As a result, you may learn the foundations in as little asks to finish and only require a few hours of learning per week.
If you wish to do more in-depth research, there are also solutions available.
For data science and analytics, Python application development makes sense. The language is simple to learn, flexible, and well-supported, making data processing quick and simple. When working with large volumes of data, it’s beneficial for changing data and repeating procedures.
The development of language.
This concludes our examination of Python programming’s different applications. As you can see, this widely used language has a diversified collection of applications, as well as a big support network and libraries. It would help if you started studying Python application development for a variety of reasons. It’s a skill that’s both future-proof and in-demand, and it’s needed in a wide range of fields.

When it comes to midsize affordable, family friendly sedans, Toyota’s Camry and Honda’s Accord have been the traditional sales leaders in the U.S. for years, but they aren’t the only good choices in this shrinking segment.
In fact, they’re not even the only good one from an Asian automaker.
The Hyundai Sonata, made in the South Korean company’s assembly plant in Montgomery, Alabama, combines comfort and convenience in a vehicle with sharp, eye-catching styling.
Working in Hyundai’s California Design Studio, which was opened in Fountain Valley in 1990 and moved to its present site in Irvine in 2003, designers gave the Sonata a more refined look and larger cabin to move it into its seventh generation in 2015, and they have continued their tinkering with several updates for 2018.
They gave the exterior a new grille and more aggressive look overall, restyled the inside, updated the suspension, and made blind-spot warning and cross-traffic alert standard on all the trims, a nice touch when the usual practice is to make the bare bones model in the lineup just that.
Three different 4-cylinder engines are offered in the seven trim levels with the 2.4-liter serving as the standard power source. It is rated at 185 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque, enough for a confident performance for everyday chores.
It is mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Also available are 2.0T models with a turbocharged 2.0-liter that ups the ante to 245 hp and 260 lb.-ft. and gets a new 8-speed transmission. Eco trim gets a turbo 1.6-liter paired with a 7-speed dual clutch transmission that acts like an automatic for the best fuel economy of the group (28 miles-per-gallon city, 37 mpg highway), though the 2.4L Limited isn’t much thirstier with numbers of 25/35.
My time was spent in the Limited trim with the 2.4L engine. It carries a starting MSRP of $27,400 over the base model’s $22,050, but your reward is a long laundry list of standard equipment and other features available for no charge.
These include safety technology like the blind-spot warning and cross traffic alert system cited earlier as well as headlights with what Hyundai calls Dynamic Bending Light to illuminate the path in the direction you are turning. Government crash ratings are 5-star across the board with rollover risk rated at 4 stars.
Among other items on the list the Limited’s standard or no-charge equipment are 17-inch alloy wheels, power sunroof, push-button start, heated side mirrors with turn-signal indicators, hands-free trunk with auto open, LED headlights and taillights, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, dual automatic climate control, 7-inch color touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, three years of Blue Link services, and heated and ventilated front seats.
Going for an optional Ultimate Package adds navigation with a 8-inch screen, automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection (an Uber self-driving test model could have used that recently), lane-keep assist, automatic high beam assist, an Infinity premium audio system, rear parking sensors, and more for an extra $2,900.
With $885 for destination and delivery, that runs the total for the 2018 Hyundai Sonata Limited to $31,310, which is near the bottom of the top offerings in its class.
What I liked about the 2018 Hyundai Sonata Limited: A lot, really. Legroom is generous (45.5 inches in the front, 35.6 in the back), and trunk space (16.3 cubic feet) rivals some full-size sedans. The Sonata is big enough that the government (EPA) actually includes it in its list of “large cars” when comparing fuel economy.
The technology is very user-friendly (I love the small knobs for adjusting audio and larger ones for climate control temperature), and the optional 8-inch screen for navigation included in the Ultimate Package makes it easy on the eyes. The interior has a premium feel about it, and the touchscreen is nicely integrated into the flow of the dash. Plus I just like the way it looks.
What I didn’t like about the 2018 Hyundai Sonata Limited: I would like to drive it with the 2.0L turbo just to see the difference in performance. The standard engine is far from sluggish, though, and I never really felt I was lacking power. I would just like to see what more power would give it.
Would I buy the 2018 Hyundai Sonata Limited? Unequivocally, yes. It’s ironic that as the overall quality of affordable sedans continues to improve, the number of people buying them continues to decrease. Sales of midsize cars in 2017 were down just over 16 percent compared to 2016.
Only the Camry showed a gain while the Sonata was with all the others with a decline of 33.9 percent, ranking behind sales numbers for the Santa Fe SUV for the first time in the Hyundai stable. Frankly, it deserves a better fate, but buyers have an undeniable infatuation with SUVs/crossovers. Maybe the Sonata will help buck the trend.

In addition to the fundamental quadrupolar mode, overtones and higher harmonics may be present and detectable in the gravitational wave signal, allowing for tests of the no-hair theorem. We obtain the spectroscopy horizons of current and future detectors, up to which one or more additional modes can be detected (and confidently distinguished from each other). For the detection of one additional mode, the spectroscopy horizon of the first overtone is consistently larger than that of any higher harmonic modes for all detectors in the entire mass range, except close to the highest mass (lowest frequency) limit for detectability. We use both a Fisher matrix approach and a Bayesian model comparison to confirm our results.

It is vital for young people with learning disabilities and their parents or carers to have access to good quality services, information and advice about sexual health and relationships. People with learning disabilities are often disadvantaged in this area because of attitudes towards disability and sexuality, a lack of resources and a lack of professionals qualified to provide the right kind of information and appropriate support.
For parents and carers it can be difficult sometimes to strike a balance between protecting young people with learning disabilities from risks and allowing them to explore and develop personal and social relationships. These relationships can be really beneficial for improving their quality of life, helping to boost self-esteem and confidence, and to bring pleasure. People with learning disabilities should be able to access information which can help them to understand their emotions and boundaries, learn how to stay safe from sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy and general harm.
If you are the parent or carer of a child or young person with learning disability you can ask for help and support from Sexual Health Services.
Your child may require help with issues that occur at puberty, for example
You can ask the sexual health team if you require information about resources that can help you but to begin here is a link to some useful information that can help you begin to talk to your child about their sexual health. It is never too early to begin talking to your child about keeping safe with personal and private behaviour. Follow the link:
You can accompany your child to their appointment to obtain advice and support. Your child will have the opportunity to be seen alone if they would prefer that or if it is appropriate or helpful you can be seen together. If your child requires further support the team can help to signpost you to agencies that may be able to help.
Accessibility to Sexual Health Services
If you have a physical or learning disability sexual health services can be adapted to meet your needs.
Rooms are wheelchair accessible and equipment is adaptable to meet your needs.
If you require more time with the doctor or nurse due to communication difficulties please ask for a double appointment to ensure that we can give you enough time to express your needs. We can also use pictures and communication symbols if this is helpful for you.
If you require someone to accompany you to your appointment please bring them with you and there are always chaperones available in clinic if you need extra support.
There are organisations which provide useful resources, and individual or group courses for people with learning disabilities and their parents and carers. Here are some useful links to follow for information and resources available surrounding this sensitive subject:

Science-Forces REVISION USE!. Contains Music. What are forces. A force can be a push or a pull . For example, when you push open a door you have to apply a force to the door. You also have to apply a force to pull open a drawer.
Crime and Science - . gloria laycock professor of crime science university college london . crime and science: agenda.
P3 Revision - . how do forces have a turning effect?. t. pivot.
Intermolecular Forces - . chemistry. generally, inter molecular forces are much weaker than intra molecular forces.
What are forces A force can be a push or a pull You cannot see a force but often you can see what it does. Forces can change the speed of something, the direction it is moving in or its shape. F.
Measuring forces Forces can be measured using a force N. So 100 N is a bigger force than 5 N. A force meter is used to measure forces.
Weight, Mass and Gravity People often confuse mass and weight. Remember that weight is a force, and is measured in newton. Mass is measured in kilograms (kg).
Mass kilograms, kg, or grams, Remember an object's mass stays the same wherever it is.
Weight Weight is a force caused by gravity's measured in newton.. ,N. 's mass is 120kg wherever they are. The weight of an object changes if the strength of gravity changes Remember: a mass of 1kg has a weight of about 10N on Earth.
Question A force of 20 N acted over an area of 2 m2 (two square metres). What is the pressure?
Pascals Notice that the unit of pressure here is N/m2 (newtons per square metre). Sometimes you will see another unit being used. This is called the pascal, Pa. 1 Pascal = 1 N/m2, so in the example above the pressure is 10 Pa.
Using pressure Drawing pins Drawing pins make good use of pressure Drawing pins have a large round end for you to push. The round end has a large area, so it applies a low pressure to your thumb. The sharp end has a very small area. The same pushing force produces a high pressure there, so it pushes into the notice board. Chair legs In.
Force Diagrams W, each force is shown as a force arrow. An, the bigger the force) the direction in which the force acts. The arrow is usually labelled with the name of the force and its size in newtonse.
Balanced Forces Whis is what happens: an object that is not moving stays still an objSo notice that an object can be moving even if there are no forces acting on it.
Hanging objects The forces on this hanging crate are equal in size but act in opposite directions. The weight pulls down and the tension in the rope pulls up. The forces on this hanging crate are balanced.
Floating in waterup thrust from the water. The object will sink until the weight of the water it pushes out of the way is the same as the weight of the object. A boat floats because its
Standing on the ground When an object rests on a surface such as the ground, its weight is balanced by the reaction force from the ground. The ground pushes up against the object. The reaction force is what you feel in your feet as you stand still. Without this balancing force you would sink into the ground. The weight of a book lying on a table is balanced by the reaction force from the table top.
Unbdforces. If the forces on an object are unbalanced this is what happens: • an object that is not moving starts to move • an object that is moving changes speed or direction Resultant forces The size of the overall force acting on an object is called the resultant force. If the forces are balanced, this is zero. In the example above, the resultanwhich is 100 - 60 = 40 N. Unbalanced forces make the truck speed up.
Helpful And Unhelpful Frictional ForcesHelpful frictional forces Friction can be useful:frg friction between the brakes and wheel help bikes and cars slow down ice. Unhelpful frictional forces Friction can also be unhelpful. If y Think of what happens when you rub your hands together quickly. The friction warms them up.
Force Moments Forces can make objects turn if there is a pivot. Think of a playground see-saw. The pivot is the thing in the middle of it. When no-one is on the see-saw it is level, but it tips up if someone gets onto one end. Turning forces around a pivot are called moments. It is possible to balance the see-saw again if someone else gets onto the other end and sits in the correct place. This is because the turning forces are balanced. We say the moments are equal and opposite.
Working Out Moments To work out a moment, we need to know two things: t. the size of the force applied This is the equation for working out a moment: moment = force × distance Example Imagine that a force of 10 N acted on a see-saw 2 m from the pivot. This is how we would work out the moment: force × distance = moment 10 × 2 = 20 Nm Notice that the unit of moment is Nm (newton metre). Don't get confused with a 'newton meter', which is another name for a forcemeter. Here is an example of balanced moments. 10N at 2m from the pivot is balancing 20N at 1m from the pivot. The objects create moments of 20Nm that are equal and opposite, so the see-saw is balanced.
Using Moments A see-saw will balance if the moments on each side of the pivot are equal. This is why you might have to adjust your position on a see-saw if you are a different weight from the person on the other end. If a nut is difficult to undo with a short spanner, a longer spanner will help. This is because there will be a bigger moment on the nut, when the same force is applied further from the pivot. Using the same principle you can increase the moment applied by a lever or a crowbar, and this can help you move heavy objects more easily.

Holcomb is , he said in a statement.
He said that he is “energized” about his visit, adding that he is “committed to building an economy of the future” with global partners who help Indiana grow future businesses.
The Chinese communist regime conducted a series of live-fire drills in waters near Taiwan after Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, escalating tension in the region. Taiwan’s defense ministry said on Aug. 14 it detected 22 Chinese aircraft and six naval ships in and around the Taiwan Strait as Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and four other lawmakers were meeting with top Taiwanese officials.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) also issued a so-called White Paper on Taiwan on Aug. 10, claiming sovereignty over the island.
“[Republic of China],” states the historical overview on the island’s government website.
Indiana was the first American state to establish a sister relationship with Taiwan in 1979. The stateincluding 10 from Taiwan and 12 from South Korea, according to Holcomb’s office.

PAINTED HILLS GOLF COURSE
Painted Hills is an 18-hole golf club.
A longer par 4 that plays predominantly into the south wind. The drive is key to making the ridge for a second shot of 150 yds plus into the green.
The toughest par 3 on the course with a blind pond on the right from the back and middle tee space. The best option is to play the left side of the green and let it kick. Leaving the ball in left rough creates a tough chip shot that will be difficult to hold with water behind it.
A true par 5 that places emphasis on your second shot as the fairway narrows from 100 yards into the green. You wanif possible.
A relatively easy par 3 facing due west. There is a deep greenside bunker on the left side
One of the only blind tee shots on the course and this is a driveable par 4 if you have a good south wind. It is a double fairway closer to the green and it is typically advantageous to be on the left fairway if possible.
</s> A good entry-level, simple home electricity usage monitor
I’m still a big fan of the Kill A Watt meter, but the Belkin energy cost monitor looks like a promising entry in the home electricity monitor market. The Belkin monitor helps you figure out how much money you’re spending to run particular appliances, lights or devices, and also how much CO2 those items are responsible for in terms of the power plant carbon dioxide emissions.
If you’re looking for an inexpensive and very easy to use energy monitor, the Belkin energy cost monitor is worth considering. Here it shows cost per year of operating the item currently plugged into it:
You’ll notice the ‘365’ in the bottom right corner of the LCD display. The Belkin energy cost monitor can display cost per year and cost per month. Cost per year is useful for most items but for items that are uesd only seasonally the cost per month may be more useful.
Determining the energy cost of your household electrical items
How does the Belkin energy cost monitor figure out what these appliances cost you to operate? It’s pretty much the same principal as I use when I calculate my home appliance use with the Kill A Watt meter – except that the Belkin meter does it all for you. Operating cost for a month is simply a question of the kilowatt hours consumed by the device, divided by the hours since you plugged it into the meter, multiplied by the number of hours in a month, multiplied by your electricity price per kilowatt hour.
Wait a minute, did I say that was simple to calculate? If you’re handy with spreadsheets or the back of an envelope, and have some patience, you can figure out the power cost of any device based on its kwh usage over a time period, and your electricity price. But most people don’t have the patience or familiarity with the process, which is exactly why the Belkin energy cost monitor is proving so popular to consumers just starting on their energy conservation journey – or those simply trying to cut expenses.
The Belkin monitor assumes a starting price for electricity based on the US average. You can easily change this to your local rate.
First, look up the total you paid on your last electricity bill, and divide by the number of kWh you were billed for (that’s an easy way to take into account all those extra charges like generation charges, delivery charges, transmission loss charges, and taxes). If you don’t have easy access to a bill, see How much does electricity cost for an idea of electricity rates for US states and Canada.
Then, hold the $ button down for at least three seconds, until the device goes into “Set Rate Mode”. Once it’s there, just press the left button (CO2 button, which looks like the Earth) to reduce the price per kWh, and the right button (Watts button, the lightning bolt) to increase the price per kWh. Then press the $ button again to save the new setting.
How much CO2 do your devices produce?
Of course, your stereo isn’t producing any CO2 directly – unless you’re in the process of frying it with some heavy metal cranked up to the max – but the electricity you use comes from power sources that, in most parts of North America, come at least partly from coal or natural gas generating stations. If you’re concerned about climate change, as many of us are (and as all of us should be), then knowing how much CO2 your appliances are responsible for is a helpful additional feature. The Belkin energy cost monitor is set up with an estimate of your location’s average CO2 production per kWh – by “Your location” I believe they mean whatever continent you live on, since it’s highly unlikely they are factory-presetting the rates by US state or Canadian province or even by region within a country, for the North American market.
Just plug the device you want to measure into the Belkin energy cost monitor power outlet, and after a few minutes press the CO2 button (the Earth button). You will get a reading of how much CO2 the device is responsible for per month or year (similar to the cost per month or year).

I am always on the look out for sweets that can be put in small bags at Christmas time for favours, re-bagged and popped in a stocking and/or sold at Christmas Fayres etc.
I found these tubes of Rudolph Noses in Asda for £1. I reckon you could get two, possibly three little bags from one tube or simply fill one small jar with a matching Rudolph tag with the whole lot. I always wear gloves when transferring sweets from one container to another and make sure the sweets are handled as little as possible. I still have my trusty vacuum sealer too if I need to put sweets in a new cello bag to maintain their hygiene and freshness.
I don’t get unicorns and neither does Marc ……. but we get mermaids, so each to their own …….. when I saw these Unicorn Smarties I thought of Marc straight away as a wind up sort of present.
There are a million ideas out there for favours you could use these for ……. unicorn poop anyone?
Yes ……. I am still going …….
…… making the snowman drawer brought back so many happy memories, because I bought the snowmen from Michael’s in New York back in March.
I used double sided tape down the side to secure the band together. I’m dead chuffed, at least these socks don’t look quite so functional just this once.
I love Flying Tiger shops, Marc and I were once followed all round the Hammersmith branch by a “undercover” member of staff, it was in the days of my huge “shop lifting bag” as Marc used to call it. It was the best bag I have ever had, I still miss it, but it was sooooooo big, I suppose it did look a bit suspicious!
However, I digress. This year Flying Tiger have had some really lovely foiled, foam based card stickers for just £1 a pack. I was very restrained and only bought three packs but I think I may regret it as I am already thinking “Advent Calendar” using one of the blank set of drawers (from The Works) I have squirrelled away. I don’t usually do polar bears but the bear pack is my definite favourite, even more than the gingerbread men, and that’s saying something.
These gem stickers were also £1. not surevery simple bauble on a white card.
…….. and it really didn’t take much work at all to just tart it up a little.
I then glittered over all the wording with translucent micro glitter.
The final touch was adding a tartan bow and a jingle bell to either side of the board. Done and dusted …… now to start counting!
This frame wasn’t as easy as I had first anticipated. It’s for my neighbours upstairs and I had set myself the challenge of making a Christmas sampler frame to “go” with their almost entirely black, grey and white decor .
I started by removing and throwing away the glass in the frame and then covering the design sheet that was inside with a variety of grey patterned paper scraps and white glitter card.
The first four spaces were pretty quick and easy to put together using the previous samplers I have made as a guide ………..
The sampler definitely needed a touch of red and one or two other hints of colour otherwise it would have disappeared upstairs. It was an interesting challenge, something outside my comfort zone and to perhaps explore some more when I have more time to play after Christmas.
THAT’S IT NOW ………. FINISHED ….. not to be fiddle farted with again!
I told you I would come back to the angel advent drawer below …….
Marc knows me well, especially the fact that I don’t have the patience to repeat an idea too many times, however if the above is going to be a goer I have already found that it is much quicker and easier to copy an already made drawer rather than spend an awful long time coming up a whole new design.
So that is what I am also going to do, but when I have more time will come up with a few new ideas in different colours ways so I don’t go too cross eyed.
Exciting, exciting news ……. Marc is coming to stay for a loooooooong state visit type weekend, flouncing in just before Christmas when The Towers will be in full festive mode ……. I have already put up the fairy lights up in both our bedroom windows! It’s so exciting I think we are both counting off the days.
The freezer is full of vegetarian delicacies and cola purchased by the gallon. I do have a little vodka, but we are both being very good so that may remain unopened and that’s no bad thing, but the Malteser boxes are stacked up high imploring to be eaten!
These cards measure 7ins x 5ins and are made using a white linen effect, hand cut blank.
Well, that’s the majority of my Christmas cards made in one fell swoop, usually I do a whole pile of one offs to help keep the posts going on the blog, but this year I decided to sit down and make a concerted effort to get a job lot done in one day.
I can now take my time making a few extra more individual cards happy in the knowledge that if life with those delicious babies gets in the way there is no panic, everything is already taken care of.
I don’t think any card is the same, using almost all of the 15cmx 15cms paper pads I had from The Works. There are a few strips left over which can be cut into squares to make a few patchwork cards …… if I have the time.
My intention all along was to die cut the Merry and Bright sentiment using dies I already had, but aghhhhhhh, they were just too small and fiddly and you know how impatient I am, I was finding that I was having to extradite the paper from the die with a pin to get it out ……. I don’t blooming think so!
In the end it was quicker to print them off in Publisher using Script MT Bold font in size 36. I printed them out in a dark grey colour which looked less harsh than black. The sentiments were then cut out and matted in exactly the same way as the centre panels.
Clear flat back stars and tiny gems finish each card. The compulsion to faux stitch the cards to an inch of their lives was so mahoooooooosive you wouldn’t believe, but so far I have resisted. I may try doing one, just to get it out of my system while telling myself less is more!

With the informal five-party summit on Cyprus under UN auspices fast approaching next month, recent weeks have focused on the debate surrounding a federal solution with political equality.
This is the framework that the island’s two communities had agreed on, but political equality became a bone of contention in the previous round of talks in 2017. Then Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci accused President Nicos Anastasiades of being against it. Anastasiades, on the other hand, declared he had no problem with political equality per se, just with the way the Turkish Cypriots interpret it.
“Political equality was an issue stressed by the Turkish Cypriot side, it is an issue we finally need to deal with,” former Cyprus problem expert at the foreign ministry, Costas Apostolides told the Sunday Mail.
He said that the Greek Cypriot side must accept a solution based on the UN resolutions and EU acquis.
Since the election last October of a new leader in the north, Ersin Tatar, who is completely in line with the Turkish position on a two-state solution, the Greek Cypriot side has been calling for adherence to a bizonal, bicommunal federal (BBF) solution with political equality as des. But there have been no clarifications on what this means.
Security Council resolution 716 of 1991 reaffirms its position on the solution to the Cyprus problem based on one d by the secretary-general in his report of March 8, 1990.
In that report, then UN secretary-general said: “The political equality of the two communities in and the bicommunal nature of the federation need to be acknowledged.
“The UN was forced at the time to define what political equality was in response to the insistence of then Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash that political equality meant participation in all organs and equal participation in everything with unanimity,” a well-informed source close to the settlement process told the Sunday Mail.
The UN made clear, the source said, thatAt the same time, however, it refers to equal participation in some organs of the state such as the Upper House and Supreme Court.
The two sides, the source said, previously agreed on effective participation in all higher organs such as government, parliament, courts. It was also agreed that decisions will be taken by cabinet – seven Greek Cypriots and four Turkish Cypriots – with simple majority and at least one positive vote by each side.
But if that one single positive vote on a decision is not forthcoming, this does not mean a veto, as some profess now, the source said. A veto, like the one the Turkish Cypriot vice president had in the 1960s was final when exercised and it concerned a single person.
“Effective participation means that if one community refuses to agree on issues of vital importance such as the budget, or EU obligations, then a mechanism for resolving the impasse would be activated,” the source said.
Back in 2018 when Anastasiades brought back his idea for a decentralised federation, he had said that the aim was to address both communities’ concerns. He said Turkish Cypriots hade central state, whether this concerns the cabinet or other institutions. He had also argued that that the way the Turkish Cypriot side interpreted it meant essentially that “political equality is turned into political inequality” over the Greek Cypriots, giving as an example a possible rejection by the Turkish Cypriot cabinet members of the EastMed project to make his point.
But according to the source, both sides had gone back on the agreement: the Greek Cypriots disputed the one Turkish Cypriot positive vote at cabinet, while the latter demanded a positive vote in all lower policy bodies. Until then, the agreement was that Turkish Cypriots would have a positive vote on some lower policy bodies, not all of them.
“We need to figure out how to make the solution logical, try to rectify some wrongs and have a result with which everyone can live with if we behave properly,” Apostolides said.
Under the framework, ministers will be appointed by the rotating president who will be voted by both communities, so it means they answer to both communities. “The president would not want his term to be an unsuccessful one,” the source said.
On the call for a decentralised federation, the source said that the BBF is a form of decentralised federation anyway but that clarifications were also needed on which powers would be decentralised. Be that as it may, even if more powers are removed from the federal government, the one effective vote will still be necessary on the remaining ones.
Turkey and Tatar have been calling for a two-state solution with sovereign equality arguing that talks for a federal solution have failed.
Greece and recently the UK, Cyprus’ other two guarantors, clarified that they support a BBF solution with political equality. But perhaps Turkey, too, has not completely scrapped the idea.
“Turkey said where there is no political equality, there is sovereign equality, meaning, the key issue here is political equality,” the source said.
What is important, he said, is to set the powers of the federal government.
He said among the federal government, powers need to be the “three singles” as they are widely known: international legal personality, sovereignty, citizenship. Cyprus’ flight information region (FIR) and exclusive economic zone but also protection of the external borders, which is an EU obligation, must also be among the federal state’s powers, he told the Sunday Mail.
“There is no issue of the central powers not observing the EU acquis,” Vassiliou said.
Given the two sides’ divergent positions is it too late for a solution?
“There is always hope if there is determination,” Vassiliou said.

This includes the Itherian Royal Guard miniatures. It sits on a medium (25.4mm) base. It comes in 4 poses, each with halberd or greatsword versions. This also includes a bust and two spiritual weapons that sit on a medium (25.4mm) bases.
The Royal Guard of Itheria is a group of elite knights that protect Ysabelle and her interests.
Most if not all are vampires, but a few are human and some are even dhampir. It's is almost purely political that they are not all vampires as Ysabelle would like mortals to believe she values them somewhat.
The Itherian Royal Guard are equipped with large heavy weapons halberds and greatswords with reach like a polearm. They are encased in heavy full plate armour and fine Itherian cloth. Their armour and cape reflect the Itherian designs that nobility wear, full of filigrees.
Despite how heavy their gear is, they are quick to act and they take no half measures. Rebels have made attempts to assassinate Ysabelle and have quickly met their end. Crowds have seen mortals beheaded or cleaved in half in a single strike from one of these elite knights.

Monday I pushed my workout to a whole new level. I was still so weak by last night that I had to go down in my weights a little! I HATE step-up lunges!!!!!!!
Tracy.....if you happen to read this......I can never thank you enough for helping me last summer! You put my head in the right direction & although I didn't get the results I wanted it had NOTHING to do with you it had to do with me not believing in myself & giving in to bad foods! You planted the seed in my head & I just started watering it so now it is blooming! THANK YOU....THANK YOU.....THANK YOU!!!
One thing I have noticed though is that following that hard workout on Monday, I have NO desire to eat bad food.....YEA!!!!! I didn't think that would ever happen! Prayers are being answered!
I've only been training for 7 1/2 weeks myself so I'm no expert. But I did gain at the beginning and felt bloated. You will lose as soon as your body is out of shock :)
I should read your whole blog...but when is your show?? Where is it? You should come up to WI and do the April one with me :)
Hey Lady! You are doing great. I know its hard to keep those stinging words out of your head, but you have to replace them! you have been told about the Hussman site. Its goes over how the body shifts around. Have you done measurements?
Say it with me- "I am strong, healthy and beautiful. I am nourishing my body with healthy nutrients and sculpting it into its best and most beautiful shape." Repeat. Now repeat that at work, on Glamazilla, when you get up in the morning and whenever temptation arises. ;)
Thanks a lot Marissa & Hillary. You gals are such rocks! Or no is that GEMS? :)

To fully understand the reasoning behind Air America, the new, avowedly left-of-Bush radio network, it helps to drive through South Carolina while turning the AM radio dial. You’ve got gospel stations all over, of course — they almost take over the spectrum on Sunday. But otherwise, there’s almost nothing but conservative jocks, national and local, round the clock. Even the DJs who mainly spin CDs frequently bash liberals between tunes. And don’t forget that the gospel stations, too, are not shy about defending “family values” and the Republicans who so loudly proclaim their version of them. The only relief comes when you find that lone, flailing signal from the station that offers a little National Public Radio, or when you stumble on a talk show from the black folks’ radio station.
It’s no wonder, then, that 52-year-old insurance agent Joey Zglinicki, a registered Democrat in Seneca, South Carolina, has not voted Democrat since Jimmy Carter. “I really just like the way that President Bush has been more honest on the country, on the economy,” said Zglinicki in an interview. “I felt that the Clinton years were some of the most lying years we ever suffered through.” Rush Limbaugh could hardly have said it better.
Al Franken — the author/comedian/Bush basher — hopes to rock Joey’s world with his The O’Franken Factor, which will hold down noon to 3 p.m. and is intended to compete head-to-head with Limbaugh. The show’s name jabs at conservative windbag Bill O’Reilly’s The O’Reilly Factor. Air America vows to make money, hoping that corporate America will warm to rhetoric that just might bash it, provided that the new network also delivers an audience.

France and Germany explore a tighter treaty for Eurozone nations
PUBLISHED ON 6 December, 2011 BY davidvranish
Europe (MNN) — Debt crisis in Greece has led to official talks of developing a stricter treaty for the European Union.
According to BBC Newsome to an agreement that a new treaty must be set in order to avoid any repeats of the Greece financial situation in other nations.
The pair has said that Eurozone states s. Sarkozy and Merkel propose specifically that the new treaty include automatic sanctions on any nation to run up a deficit of more than 3%.
Paul Jenks with AMG International agrees that something must be done. "Things have to change for them to be able to stay on top of the issue. The European Central Bank really needs to step in, and that is what the treaty negotiation is all about," Jenks explains.
"We want to have an equal Europe–a Europe on the same footing and playing field," Sarkozy is reported as saying.
Jenks says this mentality makes sense. "In decades gone by, when a country would slip into huge debt like Greece has done, they would just devalue their currency. But because they're all using the Euro, they don't have that freedom anymore. So they have to be on the same page fiscally. And if it doesn't happen, a Leman Brothers-type financial crisis for the whole world is not inconceivable."
The restructuring of financial sectors of the EU will, according to The New York Times, lead to the fundamental change of the EU itself, "creat
In any case, the major changes to come will not be easy and will include a number of new measures including heavy taxing, says Jenks. Whether or not leaders will be willing to follow through with the unfavorable measures is yet to be seen.
In Greece, where AMG has several ministry outlets, most notably including their St. Luke's Hospital, Jenks says the crisis has at least seemed to have done some good spiritually.
"It seems that as the people in the streets face these huge financial challenges, it is causing them to look up," says Jenks. People are more responsive than ever to the Christian literature within St. Luke's, to the AMG youth programs in Greece, and to the ministry's bookstores.
Pray that AMG staff would take hold of these opportunities in the years to come. Jenks predicts it will be eight to ten years before Greece is completely back on its feet, a sentence which has put St. Luke's in a severe predicament. (Read more about that here.) In the short-term, the devaluing of the Euro has helped as American funds raised by AMG go a bit further in Greece than they used to. Full recovery will be long term.
The AMG team has chosen to rely on the Lord, believing that if He wants their ministry to continue, it will. Pray that this attitude would continue and would serve to sow more seeds and reap new lives in Christ.

A 1950s Summary Expressionist portray by Philip Guston, Nile (1958), will go less than the hammer at Sotheby’s New York future month with an estimate of involving $20m and $30m, the best ever for a function by the artist at auction.
The perform, consigned to the auction house’s Present day night auction on 17 Might, will come from the collection of the Dallas-based few Peter and Edith O’Donnell. All sale proceeds will go toward the O’Donnell philanthropic basis, which supports science and arts initiatives. Two of the artist’s later figurative functions are also because of to go on the block at Sotheby’s contemporary evening auction 19 May in New York: Remorse (1969), which has an estimate of $5m to $7m, and Studio Celebration (1978). The artist’s auction file stands at $25.9m for the sale of To Fellini (1958) at Christie’s New York in 2013.
“It was in the course of his period of time with his friends o strategy and design and style that is epitomised by Nile…. Doing the job so close that he missing all sense of place and depth, often shut adequate for paint splatters to get in his eyes, Guston solid a new type of painterly depth, reaching its apex in Nile,” suggests a Sotheby’s statement. Nile goes on view in Sotheby’s London galleries from 8 to 13 April, followed by Hong Kong from 24-27 April, in advance of returning to New York (6-17 Might).
The sale coincides with a renewed scrutiny of Guston’s artwork historical legacy as the controversial exhibition Philip Guston Now opens at the Museum of Great Arts, Boston up coming thirty day period (1 Might-11 September). It was postponed in late 2020 by the administrators of the 4 museums behind the show—Tate Countrywide Gallery of Artwork, Washington DC Museum of Good Arts, Boston and the Museum of Good Arts, Houston—who in a joint assertion cited “the racial justice movement that begun in the US [following the death of George Floyd]… in addition to problems of a world-wide health crisis” as factors at the rear of the final decision.
Very last November, Ominous Land (1972), showcasing a hooded figure, obtained $9.4m (with charges) at Sotheby’s in New York against a $6m-$8m estimate, earning it the artist’s most pricey image to incorporate a KKK motif to be bought publicly. It was consigned by the estate of the Philadelphia collectors Gabriele and Robert Lee who purchased the work straight from David McKee Gallery in 1974. Acquiring created a identify as a critical member of the Summary Expressionism motion, Guston confounded critics with a return to figuration in 1968.

Gamestop. The most beloved retailer among gamers. We can’t get enough of the place. Another thing that gamers can’t get enough of, when they have the dough, is new hardware.
With the brand new Nintendo Switch being announced and a release date, as well as up coming library, revealed, Pre orders are exploding all over.
After this past Friday the 13th, both Nintendo and Gamestop had GREAT luck with their pre order sales numbers for the flagship Nintendo product.
Merchandising VP of Gamestop Bob Puzon, spoke publicly about his excitement (paid for or not) for the Switch’”
Granted this statement sounded quite scripted, I think that the numbers and social media speak for themselves.

the mid-second-season episode “Leviathan Wakes” handily beat a category full of heavy hitters, including Black Mirror‘s “San Junipero” and Game of Thrones‘s “The Door” and “Battle of the Bastards”..
Most of the series, however, takes place in the Belt, the name given to, Mars, and corporations from both planets have colonized these asteroids and dwarf planets, mining them for minerals and water ice, establishing research and agricultural stations, and building supply, trade, and shipbuilding hubs. The inner planets are deeply dependent on the Belt, but the humans native to the region rarely benefit from that dependence.
Corporate control of Belt outposts means that civil and labor rights are virtually nonexistent, with Belters having to struggle to afford even the basics of survival, like water or air. Many Belters are too acclimated to low gravity to survive on Earth or Mars (and some are born with fatal genetic abnormalities, such as high chalk content in their bones, for which they receive no medical care). But even the ones who could live on the inner planets are treated like second-class citizens, overpoliced and underrepresented, subject to harassment from planetary and corporate authorities. The Outer Planets Alliance, or OPA, is a loosely-affiliated organization formed to agitate for labor rights and political sovereignty in the Belt, and sometimes crossing over into political violence. It is usually classed as an insurgent, even terrorist organization.
This is, obviously, a very rich premise, and veritable catnip for many readers here, touching so strongly on issues we’ve frequently discussed: labor rights, violent crackdowns against labor organizing, corporate exploitation of overseas (off-planet) workers, supply chains, the utility of political violence and its limitations, rampant inequality between and within nations. But my first source of frustration with The Expanse is the way that it touches on these issues only lightly and in its background, while the main storyline is something much more conventional.
The fact remains, however, that much of what’s political about The Expanse‘s worldbuilding happens in the background of its main story. That story is often entertaining—though, again, I tend to find the show surprisingly bland considering that it looks so good and is working with such beloved SF hooks—but it’s clear that The Expanse fancies itself as something more sophisticated. And yet it repeatedly fails to take full advantage of the breadth and complexity of its setting, and makes some frustrating choices in how it slants its political storytelling.
The most sympathetic Belter character on the show is Naomi Nagata (Dominique Tipper), a member of the Rocinante crew (and, eventually, Holden’s love interest). She has a past with OPA that is shrouded in mystery but which she’s tried to get away from because she finds the organization untrustworthy and violent. In particular, she’s suspicious of the two main figures vying for control of OPA: Anderson Dawes (Jared Harris), an organized crime leader from Ceres Station who never misses an opportunity to come off as oily and untrustworthy; and Fred Johnson (Chad L. Coleman), a former UN military officer whose nickname, “The Butcher of Anderson Station”, refers to the time he violently suppressed a strike on a resupply station, leading to hundreds of civilian casualties.
In the second season it’s revealed that Johnson acted under false intelligence from his superiors, who convinced him the strikers were bent on violence (though I for one am having trouble imagining what possible threat could have justified such an indiscriminate act of mass murder). In fact, it’s not the violence of Johnson’s past that’s treated as delegitimizing by the show, but the radicalism of his present, in which he’s shown venting political enemies from airlocks when they voice disagreement with his tactics. The power struggle between Dawes and Johnson is naturally treated as a justification for dismissing all of OP

“Proof” by David Auburn is a serious play about mental illness, caregiving and strained family dynamics. Catherine (Emma Anderson) has been looking after her father Robert (Jordan Stringer) who was once a brilliant mathematician. As he slides further into madness and dies, she is concerned she may have inherited his insanity as well as his genius. Toshon Dawe plays Catherine’s sister who has a great life in New York and has come back for her father’s funeral. Ian Locke plays Hal, one of Robert’s former students. for Drama, the 2001 Tony Award for Best Play and was made into a movie in 2005.

As for interavtivity, the system was great for a past work, woulda liked if there were more weapons or ways to eleminate the humans tough.

über awesome </s> State seeks to bar alleged roofing scammer from using bankruptcy with defense
BRENTWOOD — State prosecutors say that a roofing contractor charged in four New Hampshire counties with defrauding customers of thousands should be forbidden from using his bankruptcy case in his defense.
Currier allegedly reaped an additional $33,565 from them yet “performed no work, provided no materials and failed to refund their deposits,” according to Colgan.
Prosecutors say Currier would offer customers roofing materials to customers, and claim that he could get a better rate for it because he was doing other roofing work for a local church. But the church project was an apparent ruse, according to prosecutors.
The state’s him last spring for allegedly duping customers and not performing work he was hired for.
Currier could face up to 7½ to 15 years in state prison if he is convicted by a Rockingham County jury.

RINDGE — A community celebration for winning the New England Association of Chiefs of Police’s 2013 Award for Community Policing is planned for next week.
The award is a result of collaboration between the police department, a town crime watch group and Franklin Pierce officials, he said.
“Some measurable success and perceived success has been experienced within the community of Rindge,” Morrill wrote in the application.
Partnering with Franklin Pierce University over the last two years has resulted in a nearly 35 percent reduction in calls for service to the school, Morrill wrote, lowering the demand on both the town police and fire departments.
