The average home price being above the national average, one has to pay a fat amount to live in the paradise island, Honolulu. The capital city of Hawaii is also a major economic hub of the islands of the Pacific Ocean and is a massive skyline. Since its location in Pacific it has turned out to be a large business and trading place, particularly between East and West and acts as a natural gateway to the islands' large tourism industry, contributing $10 billion annually to the local economy. Honolulu has 953,207 population with $70,093 as the normal domestic profit.
6. Miami
Nick named as "Capital of Latin America", Miami is yet another most expensive place to live in United States. It harbours many centres for finance, commerce, culture, media, entertainment, the arts, and international trade. In 2010 the city was even classified as an Alpha-World City. Downtown Miami has the address to the largest concentration of international banks in the United States, and is a home to many large companies both nationally and internationally. For over two decades, the Port Miami is known as the "Cruise Capital of the World", since it has been the number one cruise passenger port in the world.
7. Chicago
Popular with a number of names including "Chi-town", "Windy City", "Second City", "City of Big Shoulders" etc , Chicago's importance has found a face in numerous forms of popular culture, including novels, plays, movies, songs, various types of journals and the news media. The city is also known to have the fourth-largest gross domestic product (GDP) in the world and is one of the most prominent worldwide centers of commerce and trade.
8. Boston
With many colleges and universities within the city and surrounding area, Boston is an international centre of higher education and a centre for medicine. The city's economic base includes research, manufacturing, finance, and biotechnology thus accounting for its high rate of living expenses. For variety of reasons, Boston was ranked number one for innovation, both globally and in North America.
9. Houston

On Sunday, Billboard crowned Travis Scott's ASTROWORLD the No. 1 album of the week, narrowly beating out 6ix9ine's new album, DUMMY BOY. That call, however, may be reversed due to an error by Billboard's data provider, Nielsen. Billboard announced today that this week's charts are under review due to a "processing discrepancy."
HitsDailyDouble obtained an email by Nielsen's Drew Bennett that claimed the switch was official, although Billboard has yet to confirm this news. "Our team has done a deep dive and found the cause of the initial discrepancy. We've since then reprocessed the jobs necessary and re-finalized the charts. As a result, 6ix9ine's "Dummy Boy" will be moving to #1… Our team is working quickly to identify the root cause of this discrepancy to ensure that we get it right the first time."
According to HDD, Sony is attempting to challenge the new results, hoping that Travis' album will hold its No. 1 position. Billboard's original report has yet to change.
DUMMY BOY's rollout was plagued with issues. Following 6ix9ine's arrest on federal racketeering charges, his label attempted to delay the album's release, only for it to leak a few days later. It finally released to streaming services on Tuesday, November 27, more than halfway through the tracking week. Still, Billboard originally reported that the album moved 66,000 equivalent album units in its first week, almost entirely from streaming.
Travis' album, meanwhile, was buoyed by the latest round of merchandise bundles, which have helped the rapper move over one million copies of ASTROWORLD in the US since August.

Hello, and welcome to another Monday here on the interwebz. It is also the very very last day of November. We have one month until the new year, y'all. Which means if our year sucked, at least it's almost over. I mean, if you go for arbitrary nomenclature of what constitutes a passing point from one year to the next. *stares off into space* *shakes fist at Universe*
Anywho, we're still here as far as we know. So say hello, and while you're about, drop some pictures of impressive pies and whatnot in the Photo Gallery. I KNOW YOU PEOPLE HAD IMPRESSIVE PIES. And as per usual, get a little conversation rolling. The train hasn't left the station just yet.

Published at Wednesday, February 13th, 2019 - 10:24:33 AM. Bedroom. By Geraldina Sauer.
When you choose the other colors for the décor, think of the black furniture as a base and start from there. The other colors need to complement the black furniture. Choose the color for the walls carefully. It's usually the color that dictates the rest of the décor but since the base is already decided in this case, you'll have to start from there. For example, if your furniture is black and you have brown and beige accessories and accent pieces, the walls can be slightly darker shade of beige so that the overall décor is harmonious and the atmosphere is warm.
The textures you use are also important. In the case of a warm color palette such as the one described above, you can use soft textures and fabrics. You can use silk or cotton. After you've decided on a main color scheme for the room you'll have to add a few accents. They don't have to follow the same lines. In fact, it's best if they don't because this way they stand out and the contrasts become focal points. Accent features such as throw pillows, artwork, decorations, area rugs, etc. should be more colorful. You can opt for bold and vibrant shades that will complement your black furniture beautifully.

Hi all,
I'm using a Shape Map visual using a custom TopoJSON for US counties (us-albers-counties via here). I have the correct format for the map keys. However, when I add county to the location field, it displays all counties with that name (e.g. all Douglas counties across the US), regardless of whether they're in my dataset or not. I've tried creating a field of a County and State combo (in various formats), but adding them to the location field blanks out the map.
I've attached an excel of my data. Can anyone successfully get a map working with data at the unique state/county level?
Go to Solution.
Hi,I realise this is a late response and hopefully you have it sorted now but if you don't or someone else reads the thread, this might help.Whatever field you pull into 'Location' for the shape map is the one that Powerbi uses to link to the map. I don't know how it chooses which field in the shape map to join to but there must be something clever going on. It probably has an algorithm that makes a best guess on data type and/or field name.Obviously in this case 'county' is not unique in the shape map and so multiple counties get selected across the USA.
I tried with the supplied data set and pbi file. I added a new column combining state_fips and county_fips and padded the data where necessary to match the template XXYYY where XX is state fips e.g 05, 11 and YYY is the county fips e.g. 001, 012, 107.We know that the us-albers-counties map has fips code in this format and that it is unique. I then pulled the new column into the 'Location' field of the shape map. This was only partially succesful. I added a slicer for State for testing and saw that not all the states were displaying appropriately.I found that this is because of an issue with the us-albers-counties map provided. Some of the fips codes are strings and some are numbers. So Powerbi can't make the link.
You can solve this by either getting a different USA county topojson map with the fips code in a consistent format OR as I did, edit the map in QGIS to make fips a string , export it as Geojson, convert to topojson and add it in to powerbi. Make sure that the fips column you added earlier in powerbi is also a string. This works.
As an aside, the 'view map keys' feature for shape maps isn't working in my desktop powerbi. The window appears then it shrinks horizontally to about 1cm width. Probably a bug.
View solution in original post
Hi @RMDNA,
I made a test using the desktop of version 2.60.5169.3201 64-bit (July 2018). And I created a same visual as yours. As your said "it displays all counties with that name (e.g. all Douglas counties across the US)", did you mean that the grey ones should not be displayed any county name here? Actually it is not an issue, that is normal for the shape map here.
For more details, please check the pbix as attached.
Hi @v-frfei-msft,
My map dataset contains a subset of US states and their counties, so I'm looking for a view of all counties within only those states, regardless if the county names exists elsewhere in the US.
Below is a standard map visual showing exactly what I'm looking for, which I'm trying to recreate as a shape map:
Bump - if there's no concrete answer to this, I'll need to attempt the same thing in MapBox.
Hi @HotChilli,
I never did get it figured out, so this sounds promising! Could you share your edited topoJSON and sample PBIX? I'd love to give it a try.
Edited map and sample pbix
The CountyFips query is from your supplied data. The other data is from the U.S. census (i was just using it to test the shape map).
I hope that helps.
Has anyone been able to get the 5 digit State/County FIPS codes to work on either a filled or shape (ideally) map?
I pulled the 5 digit codes from https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/national/home/?cid=nrcs143_013697
When I imported they defaulted to numbers but I updated the field to string.
Setting the FIPS code field as location or place each result in about 1-3% of the map being filled in.
Does anyone have any advice?
@geoffgarcia You have everything you need in this thread (apart from your own data). You need a shape map with consistent format FIPS codes (attached to one of my posts).
Don't set FIPS codes as Location or Place. The shape map doesn't care about things like that.
There is a sample pbix attached above that shows how it works.
.. and they fixed the 'View map keys' bug that I was referring to, so you can use that feature too.

September 2015
Voith Turbo says its hydrodynamic variable speed fluid couplings provide a cost-efficient solution that boosts the lifespan of combined cycle power plants (CCPPs), as they have been optimised specifically for these plants.
The trend toward gas and steam CCPPs in power generation is undeniable, says the Germany-based company. In recent years, their numbers have increased dramatically with a total of 138 new plants having been planned between 2013 and 2015 alone.
"There are many reasons for this development. In addition to their high efficiency – currently up to about 60 per cent – CCPPs impress in particular with their flexible operating times when covering demand peaks," says a spokesman for Voith. "Besides this, they meet the government emission limits set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and benefit from the globally increasing availability of gas as a fuel."
He says a large number of modern CCPP operators trust in hydrodynamic variable speed fluid couplings from Voith to control the speed of their boiler feed pumps. To further reduce costs for operators, Voith continues to develop the product line and has optimised it specifically for the requirements of CCPPs.
"Proven over more than 70 years, installed in more than 1,100 systems and plants globally, and conceived for operating conditions ranging from -40 deg C to +55 deg C, variable speed fluid couplings control the speed of boiler feed pumps for changing operating conditions," says the spokesman.
He adds they ensure soft acceleration of the driven machine and load-free motor start-up, preserving the driveline.
"This is where the hydrodynamic principle takes effect: the speed is controlled without any contact, thus dampening torsional vibration and shocks. As a result, the Voith components increase the lifetime of the plant and avoid unscheduled downtimes with accompanying additional costs."
Hydrodynamics also offer another decisive advantage: The coupling supplies both the motor and the boiler feed pump with lube oil at all times. This means it is not necessary to install an additional lube oil system, thus saving space and money for the operator, says the spokesman.
Voith variable speed fluid couplings for this field of application transfer power of up to 5 MW and, with a mean-time-between-failures (MTBF) exceeding 25 years, ensure maximum safety and reliability in use, he says. Their robust design also makes them suitable for external use in plants built in the open. Citing International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates, he says, by the year 2040, gas will have established itself as the most important component in the US energy mix with annual demand of 900 billion cu m.

iPod without iTunes
January 7, 2008
Thomas Mennecke
Every year it seems the iPod is one of the most delivered Christmas presents. And as long as Apple continues to develop, manufacture and distribute inventive devices, this trend should continue indefinitely. While the iPod has achieved a level of greatness in some circles, there's a big sticking point with PC users – iTunes.
iTunes is considered to be an unwanted pest to many file-sharers and Internet music fans alike - not necessarily because it represents the antithesis of file-sharing, but because it forces the end user to use a piece of software he or she may not be happy with. Even more infuriating is the fact that the iPod doesn't allow simple click and drag compatibility - the consequence of using an Apple product on a PC. In other words, it can't function like a Zen Creative, where the user simply opens their music collection, highlights which songs/files/etc he or she wishes to transfer, and drags the selected work over.
This sticking point has erupted on many facets of the Internet, most notably on NewEgg.com, where consumers can post their own reviews and reactions to products. Let's take a look at the specific focus of this article, the 3rd generation iPod Nano with video support. As most will agree, the Nano is a terrific product – sleek, small, and surprisingly good video quality for a screen of its size. However, one consumer points out the frustrations of many.
"It's an Apple product so PC guys like myself still have to deal with all that iTunes garbage and there's still no drag and drop function."
Through the power of Google however, this consumer would have quickly realized that there's life beyond iTunes. As a quick Google search will yield, there are dozens of iTunes alternatives. Some work better than others, and some work better on some iPod versions than others. With the latest version of the iPod Nano, our experience found that many of the current iTunes alternatives had trouble synchronizing with the device. After several frustrating hours of trying Vpod, Anapod Explorer and several other alternatives, it was becoming discouragingly evident that many iPod managers had not updated their compatibility to the new Nano. However, after the struggle, our patience was rewarded with a program that most already have installed:
Winamp features a rather simplistic interface for the iPod, but as most people only desire to click and drag their files, it works perfectly. It automatically synchronizes whatever content (providing it's iPod compatible) is thrown at it – movies, music, pictures, etc. Best of all, there's no special setup or other oddity that needs to be accomplished beforehand. When you first install Winamp, a popup window will ask which iPod you intend to sync with the media player. In our case, we'll choose the Nano.
From there it's a piece of cake. If you already have a list of MP3s in your Winamp playlist, it's unbelievably easy to sync with the iPod. Just right click, send to, iPod. That's it. To eject your iPod, you'll need to open the Media Library, and from there click "eject".
This isn't the first guide written on how to sync an iPod without iTunes. However, it's very apparent that a sizable population still believes the iPod is unusable without iTunes. Thankfully, this is not the case. While "click and drag" probably isn't coming to the iPod anytime soon, it's nice to know that a good application such as Winamp, which many file-sharers already have installed, is up for the task.

The plan for the distribution of more than 3.5 million compact fluorescent light bulbs to Ohioans is not finished yet. The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, PUCO, extended the deadline for receiving a plan from FirstEnergy from November 30, 2009 to December 15, 2009.
PUCO spokesman Matt Butler said, "the company had originally came in last week asking for an extension until the end of December. Some of the other parties thought an extension might be OK, but, let's only do a week. The commission sort of landed in the middle and said, OK, let's give them two weeks."
The new plan is expected to outline how FirstEnergy will distribute 3.75 million compact flourescent light bulbs to homes and small business customers. The original plan caused an uproar with Ohio customers due to a slight increase in charges customers would see on their monthly bill.
The original plan would charge customers around 60 cents more every month for three years; about $21 total. The energy saving bulbs the company would be distributing are estimated to save an additional $60 in energy costs over their lifetimes.
Governor Ted Strickland also asked for FirstEnergy's distribution plan to be postponed. In a letter Strickland said,"First, the bulb program has been thrust upon them without their approval or prior knowledge. Second, it is my understanding that two bulbs will be provided at a cost in excess of $21.00. It is common knowledge that the efficient bulbs can be purchased for significantly less at popular retail outlets. Third, I am interested to know if there are any U.S. suppliers of these bulbs, or if First Energy had considered the use of bulbs manufactured in the United States."
PUCO is asking that the new plan should describe how the energy saving light bulbs are to be distributed, how customers will be notified about the program, and information detailing the proper use of the compact fluorescent light bulbs,
In case you've forgotten this little fiasco, here are the highlights:
* Ohio politicians pass 'bold, new' energy law (aren't they great???)
* Law puts mandate on energy producers to get their customers to reduce consumption (yes, that's what the law does...)
* Electric company develops program to 'give' us all CFL light bulbs - at a cost 67% more than we'd pay for the bulbs in the store
* Government agency 'allows' company to recoup costs of program - including the cost of energy NOT used because of the energy-reducing product
* Public expresses outrage
* Ohio politicians begin backtracking
As I wrote on the OhioWatchdog post:
The company doesn't need an extension.
The law requiring them to distribute the bulbs needs to be repealed.
This is a ridiculous, freedom-destroying law that needs to be permanently 'put out'!
Don't blame FirstEnergy for doing what the law requires. Blame the politicians and Governor who passed the law in the first place.
These elitist statists are trying to force us to conform to their opinion of how to save energy - but they're not telling us directly, because we'd revolt if they mandated what kind of light bulb we had to buy.
Instead, they've created a mandate on a supplier of a product, forcing the supplier to try and find a way to get their customers to use less of their product.
This is more than 'stuck on stupid.' It's insane!
Contact Gov. Strickland and tell him this mandate needs to be eliminated - permanently!

American Motors Corporation (AMC) was an American automobile company formed in 1954 by the merger of Nash-Kelvinator and Hudson Motor Car Company. At that time it was the largest corporate merger in US history.
George Mason was the architect of the merger. He wanted to reap the benefits from the strengths of the two major proivzoditeley and fight the much larger representatives of the "Big Three" automakers (General Motors, Ford and Chrysler). During the year, George Romney took over the company, reorganized its future AMC and concentrated on the new small car lineup. By the end of 1957, production under the original brand Nash and Hudson were completely discontinued. The first success of the company has brought Rambler model, its sales soared by the end of the 50s.
In the mid-1960s under the direction of Roy Abernethy in AMC we concentrated all its efforts on the production of larger and more profitable cars to get away from the image of a compact and economical Rambler.
In the face of deteriorating financial and market performance, Roy D. Chapin-junior, I took the responsibility to revive the company, and designer Richard A. Teague developed several cars "general stamping". While prices and costs have been reduced, it has become possible to create a new sports car, and in 1968 began to produce AMC Javelin, AMX and muscle cars.
In 1970, AMC bought Kaiser Jeep in addition to its existing business cars. Since the beginning of the 1970s, the main products AMC factories - a new compact design based on the Hornet car models. In addition it was put on stream of new models - Matador and Pacer.
Since 1980, AMC announced a partnership with the French Renault, to help fund its production lines and get a much-needed capital. By 1983, Renault has been a controlling stake in AMC shares. Production was discontinued for all AMC vehicles except four-wheel drive vehicles Eagles. Several years later, Renault sold AMC concern Chrysler. Since then, the United States AMC and Renault brands under the ban.

Mozilla's mission is to build a better Internet. Right now, that means building one with an increased focus on user privacy with help from the fine folks at the Tor Project. They're calling this new initiative Polaris, and their first set of privacy tweaks have already landed in Firefox nightly builds.
Polaris is backed by Mozilla and two other non-profits: the Center for Democracy and Technology, and the Tor Project. Their goal is to increase collaboration and "accelerate advances in privacy technology for the Web, protecting users and putting them back in control.
To kick things off, Mozilla is taking a long, hard look at Tor. There are a couple reasons why they are. First, they want to figure out how they might be able to use some of the tweaks the Tor project has made to the version of Firefox they ship in their browser bundle and integrate them into the mainstream Firefox codebase.
That would not only boost the privacy powers of Firefox, but it would also free up Tor project contributors to work on other things. If their code gets merged into Firefox, they don't need to make as many modifications to the browser before shipping it in the Tor bundle — giving them more time to focus on things like privacy, speed, and network capacity.
And speaking of network capacity, Mozilla is going to help out there, too. They've offered to set up several Tor middle nodes, which will allow the Tor network to support a greater amount of traffic and improve speeds.
As for the changes that have already landed in Firefox nightly builds, Mozilla is looking at ways to selectively block content in the name of privacy without penalizing online advertisers too harshly. To try it out, you'll need to grab a recent nightly build and set browser.polaris.enabled to true on the about:config page.
Since the feature blocks HTTP transmissions from untrusted domains, you'll probably notice a bit of breakage on the websites you browse… but that's a small price to pay for tracking protection that actually works.

If we are trying to prove `D [Int]` we use the instance to reduce the problem to `C Int`, and then we fail because we cannot solve this goal. If we are trying to validate the second instance, then we need to prove that the context of the instance is sufficient to discharge the super class requirements: C a |- C (T [a]), F [a] We can solve `F [a]` using the instance, and (by using the definition of `T`) `C (T [a])` becomes `C a`, so we can solve it by assumption. -iavor


text: My roommate bought this yesterday, and I gotta say, it's worth all the praises it got. Coldplay's probably the second most popular British rock band right now, right behind Radiohead. And while Radiohead continue to move in more and more frustrating and fan-alienating directions, Coldplay continues to put out great, heartfelt, pretty accessible rock. Aside from two or three tracks, the music is largely acoustic guitar and piano driven, giving the album a dreamy, relaxing feel. However, these songs have substance. Lyrically, a lot of the songs are more impressionistic than literal, meaning they may not make sense on the whole, but they definitely elicit a certain mood. They remind me of the lyrics of the 60's and 70's, back in a time when it was okay to write a song about the stars and stuff like that. My personal favorite song is the newest single, "The Scientist". Again, most of the lyrics don't really make sense to me, but the music is really beautiful and the chorus sells the whole thing: "Nobody said it was easy It's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be so hard I'm going back to the star." That final line may be in reference to the band's breakthrough single, 2000's "Yellow", written for a friend who had just died. In the song, the singer describes how he would like to escape this world and live in the stars with his recently-deceased friend. Whether this is true or not, it gives the song an added beauty and sadness, in my opinion. Overall, this album's great, great music to relax to, a little depressing at times, but strangely uplifting. I give it 4 stars.

Hello interweb, Nate here. So if you saw my second update you would know that my schedule is a bit off from what I said I'd do. That is because school has started and I'm having trouble getting everything going smoothly. I'm thinking instead of updating every Friday, I'll actually do it every Saturday instead.
But enough with that, a little while ago, Sentrymann did a post on his blog on his Top 10 Teenaged Superheroes and I commented on his blog about what my list would be, but I'm not quite satisfied with what my list was. So here is my list, hope you guys enjoy.
Also, sorry about the lack of pictures, having some technical difficulties.
To see more top 10s (or 5s) click here.
- Must be a teenaged superhero
- DC and Marvel only
- These are my personal favorites, not necessarily the best nor iconic
- I'm going to ban Spider-man from this list simply because everyone knows that Spider-man will be #1. If you don't like this rule, just make this a top 11 list and make Spidey #1. OK?
Honorable Mention – Speedy
Raise your hand if you've seen the Young Justice Cartoon. For those of you who didn't, in the cartoon the presented Speedy as a kid who treated his body as a temple and always wanted to do what he felt was right. That's not the Speedy I grew to know, in the comics Roy Harper first started out as basically a Robin rip-off for Green Arrow. But as time has passed, we learned that Roy was originally a heroine addict and just couldn't stop. Green Arrow saw this, and he changed Roy from addict to vigilante. Well at least he went from breaking the law and his body to breaking the law and saving people.
#10 – Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes)
Many People knows Blue Beetle due to the second season of Young Justice. The main reason I loves Blue Beetle so much is due to the scarab. The mythos they created around the scarab was just so interesting that it actually led me to read one of the first comics I've ever read: Blue Beetle Vol. 1: Shellshocked. The scarab and the abilities that the scarab grants Jaime is just so cool that I couldn't not put him on this list.
#9 – Robin (Stephanie Brown)
Now Between all the Robins, I picked Stephanie Brown for this list because I like Dick Grayson better as Nightwing, I never liked Jason Todd, I like Tim Drake better as Red Robin (Yum!), and I don't know much about Damian Wayne or Carrie Kelley (the later mostly due to being from a non-cannon storyline). But being such an iconic character, I had to put a Robin on my list. She might not be the most popular, but she's my personal favorite.
#8 – Cyborg
I often like characters better when they have something sad happen to them that makes you feel sympathetic towards them. Cyborg may be BA, but he got his cybernetic parts after Victor Stone got in an accident that caused his scientist father to use the advanced machines around the lab to save his life. While it saved his life, he's no part robot and this could cause some self-questioning about his humanity and how human he still is.
#7 – Impulse
Out of the four Flashes, Bart Allen is probably the least known. Bart Allen is the 30th century, time-traveling grandson to Barry Allen. As a result, Impulse has his grandfather's super speed. Super speed is my personal favorite superpower and when looking back at my Favorite DC list, I'm not happy that Flash only got to #8. Now the reason I picked Impulse over Kid Flash is mainly because I like Wally West better as Flash.
#6 – Beast Boy
If you know me, you know that I love animals. And Beast Boy can turn into literally any animal he wants. How cool is that?
#5 – Batgirl (Barbra Gordan)
Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, and Barbra Gordan. Batman, Robin, and Batgirl. This is probably one of the most signature trio every and that trio wouldn't be possible without Babs. Barbra Gordan has had a pretty dark past with being the commissioner's daughter, getting shot and paralyzed by Joker, and being Oracle.
#4 – Raven
Blatantly the best character on the Teen Titans cartoon, Raven is a half demon daughter to Trigon and let's just say I'm glad I'm not her. First she has suffers some prejudice for being a demon, she has to control her emotions to control her powers, and she has been possessed by Trigon on more than one occasion.
What happens when you take the BA of Wolverine and take out everything I don't like about him? You get X-23, aka Laura Kinney. Is there much more I need to say about her? She has blades in her wrists like Wolverine (plus some in her feet), she has a healing factor like Wolverine, but she has a pretty sad history being created to be a living weapon.
#2 – Shadowcat
When Shadowcat was introduced to the X-Men, she was the youngest member of the team. She was called Sprite and was a lot more light-hearted. After growing up, she has became a ninja, a genius, a caring person, has a pet dragon, and changed her name to Shadowcat. What's not to like?
#1 – Static
Static was created by Milestone media for better representation of minorities in comics and it shows. Being a black kid with electromagnetic powers, his comics tend to cover controversial topics and I really liked what they did with this character. Give him a unique powers and make him black not just to have more black people, but to better represent black people, and you have my personal favorite teenaged superhero (other than Spidey of course).

Welcome to the 'Brangover.'
Markets are still digesting the news out late last week that the UK voted to leave the European Union. As was the case on Friday, stocks are sliding, the British pound is tumbling, and gold is rallying.
It seems clear that the decision will change global finance in a fundamental way.
The decision will have an outsized impact on investment bank earnings, and it spells bad news for dealmakers. As a case in point, Britain's government has scrapped plans to sell stakes in RBS and Lloyds Banking Group this year.
World leaders and economic experts have said Brexit is 'as significant as post-9/11.' In the UK, analysts are throwing around words like "recession," "contagion," and "stagflation." S&P has cut the UK's credit rating.
Of course, Britain is getting exactly what it voted for.
It's not all bad for Wall Street. A select group of hedge funds made some serious money on Brexit.
Legendary investor George Soros was one of them, though he didn't bet against sterling this time around.
Here's the best of the rest in Wall Street headlines today:
We're all in a Brexit market now — Cross-asset correlations have skyrocketed.
China's reaction to Brexit has already put the entire world at risk — The entire world is hysterical about Brexit, the UK's decision to leave the European Union last week.
A former Fed president says Brexit proves the Fed should cut rates — Narayana Kocherlakota thinks the Fed is going the wrong way and Brexit proves it.
Don't panic — the Brexit shock is not as bad as it looks — John Stoltzfus at Oppenheimer has pointed out, however, that the wild response on Wall Street wasn't exactly monumental when taken in context.
Here's how to trade a geopolitical shock — Geopolitical events tend to make traders and investors nervous, which then sometimes leads to volatility in financial markets.
A Brexit is terrible news for airlines — Airlines serving the United Kingdom will not come out on top.
Hillary Clinton is campaigning with Elizabeth Warren for the first time — Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will campaign for the first time with populist US Senator Elizabeth Warren in Ohio on Monday in an early move to neutralize Republican Donald Trump's appeal in the bellwether state.

Macquarie Equities Research released a report stating that Google's Chrome browser might be coming to iOS device. The report does not state when it might arrive on the Apple's app store, however, it states that it could be as soon as Q2 of 2012 and if it doesn't land on the app store by that time, it is definitely arriving by the end of this year.
As much as we would like to see the Chrome browser on iOS devices — iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, Apple doesn't allow third party browser app to be set as a default app for the device which limits the usability of the app. For example, any links within an email, text messages will open on default browser (Safari) on any iOS devices.
Chrome browser on desktop is highly successful browser with about 18.57% of browser market share falling only slightly behind Mozilla Firefox. Google, also, recently released Chrome Beta for its own mobile operating system, Android. With the release of Chrome on iOS Google also might be able to get away with the huge chunk of money it spends on Apple for Google search on Safari browser. With Chrome browser, all the money that it will earn from the search, Google will be able to keep them with themselves.
However, we do not think Chrome for iOS will make it big for a simple reason that Apple does not allow third party apps to be set as default browser.

Magnesium in cerebrospinal fluid in acute cerebral ischemia: its relation to glutamate neurotoxicity
Vázquez-Espierrez C, Castillo J, Naveiro J, Martínez-Vila E.
Unidad de Neurología, Hospital San Rafael, La Corúña, España
Revisão:Revista de Neurología
Data: 1/Mai/1998Neurologia [ES]
In animal models it has been shown that there is an increase in tissue magnesium concentration during cerebral ischemia. We studied the changes in magnesium levels in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) during the acute phase of cerebral ischemia.
We included 95 patients with first ischemic cerebral infarcts admitted to hospital within the first 24 hours and also 37 controls. CT scan was done on admission and between four and seven days later (when the volume of the infarct was determined). The neurological defect was evaluated on the Canadian scale on admission, after 48 hours, on the seventh day and after three months. The CSF magnesium concentration was determined using a colorimetric method and the glutamate by HPLC.
The CSF magnesium concentrations were significantly higher in the patients than in the controls (2.6 +/- 0.6 mmol/l vs 2.2 +/- 0.6 mmol/l p = 0.0001). The magnesium concentration was higher in the larger infarcts (Pearson's coefficient = 0.2901, p = 0.0043), and in those presenting greater neurological defects after 48 hours (Spearman's coefficient = -0.4649, p < 0.0001). The magnesium concentration was not related to the presence of early signs on the initial CT scan and the Canadian scale rating on admission. The concentration of magnesium was significantly correlated with that of glutamate (Pearson coefficient = 0.7735, p < 0.0001).
The levels of magnesium in the CSF were satisfactorily related to the volumes of the infarct and the intensity of the neurological defect. However, this association was late, occurring more than 48 hours after onset of the condition.

It is a wonderful feeling to walk into a grocery store and see all the different fruits, vegetables, meats and cheeses. The options can be overwhelming, but exciting at the same time because I can eat oranges year-round or eat cheese made in France. But the reality of having oranges year-round is not all good. Transportation of products, for example, is a huge factor in pollution. Plus determining the quality of the food, tracing all of its origins and regulating the industry are concerns we must consider with the year-round access to products all over the world.
We know we can go to the grocery store or department store and pick up a frozen pizza and blue jeans, respectively. And now days we can walk into Walmart and purchase both of these items. But do you really know where all these products come from and what is really in them?
Now, you may look on the tag of those jeans and see that they are made in Thailand, China or India; or that your pizza was made in Chicago or Detroit. There is still this disconnection between us and our daily lives and our products and food, which needs to be mended.

For GSS Climate Change chapter 9. Excerpt: New initiatives announced in Washington by both countries – who jointly account for 40% of greenhouse gas emissions. ...The new initiatives announced in Washington on Wednesday would see China and the US extend their climate co-operation to five new areas – beginning with heavy trucks, which are a significant cause of greenhouse gas emissions in both countries. ...That spirit of co-operation represents a drastic change from the calamitous Copenhagen climate summit in 2009, when diplomatic snubs and general distrust between the two countries wrecked any prospect for a deal. ...The countries also agreed to work together to develop carbon capture technologies, increase energy efficiency in buildings, promote smarter grids and improve reporting of greenhouse gas emissions.... http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2013/jul/10/america-china-cooperation-reduce-climate-change.

Abel Tasman is famous for being the first European to reach and name 'Anthoonij van Diemenslandt' (now Tasmania). The name was later shortened to Van Diemen's Land by the British. Tasman was also the first to reach New Zealand, the first to sight the Fiji islands and helped to map large areas of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
Abel Tasman: Van Diemen's Land
by Carol Haberle
Abel Janszoon Tasman was born in 1603 in a small village named Lutjegast (today called Groningen) in Holland (the Netherlands). Very little is known of Tasman's early life, no official portraits of this man are in existence, only sketches of what it is believed he looked like. It is known though, that ships and sailing were his interest from a very young age. Following the death of his first wife, Tasman married a second time to Jannetjie Tjaers, in Amsterdam in 1631, giving his profession as a 'sailor'.
In 1633, at the age of 30, Abel Tasman signed up with the Dutch East India Company (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie or VOC), from where he was sent to the East on a three-year contract as a merchant. It wasn't long before he commanded several of the company's ships, making several trips to the East Indies. Returning to the Netherlands in 1637, Tasman left again the following year for Batavia (now Djakarta, Indonesia). This time he was in command of the ship 'Engel', on a 10-year contract, with his wife to accompany him. Batavia was a very rich city, and the East India Company held a powerful position.
Tasman undertook several more trips, sailing to Formosa, Japan, Cambodia and Palembang as merchant captain, after which he began making exploratory voyages to China, Cambodia, Japan, and Sumatra. This brought him to the attention of Antonio van Diemen, the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies, who then gave Tasman a commission to explore the southern oceans.
European Explorers and the Southern Continent
On 13 August 1642 he was instructed to find what was believed to be a 'very rich but mysterious' Southern Continent, one which had eluded many European explorers for centuries. Known as 'Terra australis incognita', it was said to stretch across the Pacific. Tasman's instructions were to take possession of all continents and islands 'discovered' in the course of his voyage… instructions written in history documentation are as follow:
"All continents and islands, which you shall discover, touch at, and set foot on, you will take possession of on behalf of their high mightinesses of the States General of the United Provinces, the which uninhabited regions of or in such countries as have no sovereign, may be done by erecting a memorial stone, or by planting our prince flag in sign of actual occupation seeing that such lands justly belong to the discoverer and first occupier."
Mount Zeehan and Mount Heemskirk
Abel Tasman left with two vessels, the 'Heemskerk' with 60 men and the 'Zeehaan' with 50 men on board, and first stopped at Mauritius, where a month long stay was required to repair the ships, after which they then sailed south east into unchartered waters. Abel Janszoon Tasman noted in his journal on 22 November 1642 that his compasses were not steady and deduced the presence of mines of loadstone (loadstone is a naturally magnetized piece of the mineral magnetite. They are naturally-occurring magnets, which can attract pieces of iron). This was two days before his 'lookout' spotted Tasmania for the first time. This was the first prediction of mineral wealth on the west coast of Tasmania. The first recorded sighting of Tasmania was from near Macquarie Harbour on 24 November 1642. Tasman named this island 'Anthoonij van Diemenslandt' after the Governor of East Indies, Antonio van Diemen. The first two mountains sighted on the island were named Mount Zeehan and Mount Heemskirk.
Adventure Bay and Storm Bay
Due to strong winds, it was several days before landing could take place, so seeking shelter from a storm, Abel Tasman put into a cove he named Storm Bay. (Today this bay is known as Adventure Bay, a later explorer, Furneaux, misread Tasman's charts and called Tasman's Storm Bay Adventure Bay and gave the name Storm Bay to a larger bay nearby). On December 1st, 1642, they anchored in a good harbour of 22 fathoms depth. Eventually the Zeehaan's pinnace (small boat) was launched, from which the ship's carpenter, Pieter Jacobszoon, swam ashore and tied a Dutch flag to a stake on the shore. In this way possession of the land was claimed by Europeans on 3 December 1642. A number of plants were returned to the boat and while on land it was reported the men heard sounds of the Aborigines and saw notches made in trees to 'rob birds' nests'. One must wonder today whether these notches were used to climb trees to raid bird's nests, or were merely made so as to use the height of the trees as a lookout, for not one member of the party is recorded as actually seeing an aboriginal!
After claiming possession, Tasman moved his ships on, following the east coast of Tasmania. When the shore fell away to the northwest (Bass Strait) the weather was rough and coming in directly from the north. It was at this point Tasman decided to quit this island and continue east, sailing on to the south island of New Zealand.
Abel Tasman the Namesake
Abel Janszoon Tasman left a lasting legacy on our island state in place names, he was the first European to reach and name our island, he named Mount Heemskirk after one of his ships, he named Storm Bay after a storm encountered there on 29 November 1642 (the actual location is known today as Encounter Bay). Frederick Henry Bay (though it's original location is where Blackman's Bay today is, another mapping mix up by Furneaux) was also named by Tasman after Frederick Henrijk, a councillor of the Dutch East India Company.
Matthew Flinders named Mount Zeehan after the other of Abel Tasman's ships, as was the town of Zeehan itself. Both Tasman Island and Tasman Peninsula were named by Matthew Flinders on 9th December 1798 during his circumnavigation of Tasmania with George Bass to honour Abel Tasman.
While Tasman did not meet any, the native aborigines knew this land prior to his arrival as 'Trowunna', 'Trowenna' or 'Loetrouwitter'. Today there is no clear indication of who actually changed the name to Tasmania, although it is clear it was renamed in recognition of Abel Tasman. As early as 1803 the word Tasmania appeared in the naming of one of our native flora, while in 1808 London-based mapmakers Laurie and Whittle's 'An Elegant Imperial Sheet Atlas' included a map with both names, Van Diemen's Land and Tasmania. This was the first appearance of 'Tasmania' discovered in print. The Bishopric of Tasmania was proclaimed in 1842. The new name was gazetted locally in November, 1855, with a 'Designation of the Colony Act' in December of that year. The new name became effective on 1 January, 1856, and the next day 'Tasmania' celebrated its renaming at a Grand Tasmanian Regatta.

Poker tournaments attract tens of thousands of players from across the
globe. These matches will see clashes of strategies, skill levels and on
occasion, personalities. The end result will be a constantly changing group of
players that are considered to be the top poker personalities in the world. Due
to the flexible nature of the game, it should be apparent that a player who may
be on top one week will not necessarily enjoy the same position in the near
future. Thankfully, the Global PokerIndex follows the top three hundred players and allows those who play poker online in the USA and around the world
to follow their latest moves. So, let us take a brief look at a handful of
these unique personalities
Paul Volp
Up until recently, many predicted that Paul Volpe would reign the Global
Poker Index for some time to come. Indeed, many online poker aficionados were
quite impressed by his nineteen week run at the top of the charts. However,
late August proved to usher in a rather unsettling turn of events as he was
temporarily ousted by Steven Silverman. Still, most feel that this was a
short-lived displacement, as the competition against Silverman was rather
sparse and Volpe is now ranked back at number one. Nonetheless, Silverman
racked up an impressive $2.2 million dollars due to this win. Many online
players can only dream of such wishes, but sites like poker.bovada.lv can help simulate but a small taste of the excitement Silverman must
have felt. The said website is a great venue for poker players, and even those
who are still starting to learn how to play poker, to test their skills with
others over the web and at the same time get a chance to win some money.
Griffin Benger
It seems that Mr. Benger has been an avid student of online poker
playing guides due to his recent performances. Although he is currently ranked
in ninth place, some feel that Griffin is a rising star and even a bit of a
dark horse that may prove to be a formidable foe. His monumental jump into the
top ten after winning the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open places his bankroll at
just over $850,000 dollars. It will be interesting to see his impact on the
WSOP if there is indeed any. As far as staying power goes, the stiff
competition that he now faces will truly test this Canadian's skill.
Jason Mercier
This young Floridian burst on the scene in 2008 and has since garnered
over eight million dollars in profits. One of the biggest advantages that may
help keep Mr. Mercier amongst the top players is the fact that he has gained
much experiencein the World Series of Poker as well as in a multitude of games across the globe. Having faced an
eclectic mix of players, he has undoubtedly proved his staying power when
surrounded by fellow experts. In November of this year, it will be interesting
to see how he will emerge during the 2013 World Series. For those watching from
the comfort of their living rooms, this eventwill now be seen on Tuesdays on ESPN.
Marvin Rettenmaier
Boasting two World Poker Tour wins and nearly five million dollars in
his bankroll, Rettenmaier has recently climbed in the rankings for the GPI 2013
player of the year. Dubbed "Mad Marvin", he exhibits a great deal of
skill on the World Poker Tour. Still, it is predicted that he will need to
bring his game up another notch during the European Poker Tour if he has any
hopes of catching up to Paul Volpe on the leader board. For those who play
poker online, he is a great player to watch, as he tends to remain cool under
pressure and is known as a conservative yet opportunistic player. While
watching this player and others during the 2013 main event is certainly
promising, fans can catch numerous additional podcasts of more local events in anticipation of the World Series.
These players represent the
"cream of the crop" when it comes to world class poker. While most of
us will never get the chance to experience some of the unforgettable casinos
that these players frequent, trusted sites such as Bodog poker and others can
give us a hint of the excitement that all of these experts must feel.

It isn't every night that I can venture out and spend hard-earned dough at the latest and greatest Los Angeles dining spots, lest my wallet cause my "To Eat" queue to become back-logged. Let's admit it – all of us are a little commitment-phobic. The way of the game, as is also in my Manhattan playbook, is to take advantage of a good lunch menu when I see one. Hatfield's would certainly fall under this column. And what's more, I'm even more enticed to do dinner on the revisit.
On first entry, naturally-lit open spaces are further softened by the pastel and natural wooden hues of the walls and furniture. It's an inviting and pleasant space well-acclimated to the middle of the day and I could deduce it undergoes an easy transformation to provide a romantic feel come sundown.
Most importantly, however, the food is top-notch. The Lobster Club, which comes framed between two slices of perfectly buttery brioche, is titillating and flat-out unbelievably indulgent. On the side were beautifully battered and fried curry onion rings, probably the best onion rings I've ever had – topping all the others in both texture and flavor. The Buttermilk & Tarragon Steamed Chicken Breast was also extremely tasty, with its steamed preparation keeping the white meat tender and even juicy while it and the potato smash are ironically yet appropriately sauced with gravy.
If you prefer a course-built lunch, there are two prix fixe menu options, with the Studio Prix Fixe choice providing a more-than affordable $19. It starts off with a self-declared "Piping Hot" Butternut Squash Soup. They weren't kidding – and it was a thankful reminder that this is exactly how delicious soup should be served. I craved more, while knowing that my Crispy Confit Chicken Leg was coming to alleviate my dark meat fix – and it didn't disappoint. It's imperative to note here that already I had tasted two chicken dishes at the same restaurant that didn't disappoint but what's even more, actually impressed. Since then, the main course has changed to Pork Loin and I'd just as easily lunch at Hatfield's again to try that.
If you prefer to step up your prix fixe to the still-affordable $29, you'll get upgrades to seafood in the main course and a tailored, heavenly dessert from a standard scoop of sorbet. It's good utilization of the ingredients – with the perfectly Pan-Roasted Seabass providing extraordinary flavor against the pea puree and pickled onion backdrop. The Buttermilk Panna Cotta, which itself came with a scoop of Meyer Lemon sorbet and sliced kumquats as garnish is rich, tangy, sweet and overall divine. No arguments there – and none, either, with the Cinnamon Swirl Brioche Pudding, which came paired with Pear Confit, Maple Syrup Ice Cream and a Cinnamon Toast Chip.
Though Buttermilk and Brioche be a heavy theme in our (Sam, Lindsay's and my) lunch – I couldn't help but note how unbelievably light and whimsical the presentation was throughout the meal. Perhaps Hatfield's could benefit from additional staff during lunch time – as they seemed to be short on our visit, but if that requires more warm bodies to fill the dining room, this would be my eager vote to encourage others to dine at Hatfield's during the day for the sake of making steady my own course pacing. Their food is absolutely delicious and the service does well with what they are given. The glass-encased kitchen adds to the open feel of the dining room, which completes an extraordinary lunch experience. And now for dinner…

The 18-year-old was missing for Spurs on Saturday in their Premiership opener at Sunderland, but will travel for the 22 August friendly in Bourgas.
However, Wales manager John Toshack admits Bale is "a major doubt" to play.
New £1.5m Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Freddy Eastwood, 23, is included and should win a first cap after injury denied him last season.
Midfielder Carl Robinson is spared a call following his summer move across the Atlantic to Toronto FC.
Wrexham defender Steve Evans is available and included after a minor injury, but Nottingham Forest midfielder Arron Davies (ankle) and Crystal Palace midfielder Carl Fletcher (hamstring) have not recovered from their knocks.
Toshack is acutely aware that Bale, signed by Spurs from Southampton in a £10m deal, is struggling with injury but still wants to take the youngster.
"I'm aware that he is a major doubt, but I can wait until the weekend to see how he recovers," Toshack said.
"Maybe Spurs would want him to have 45 minutes with us, but I can understand them being concerned."
Toshack's side will use the match as a warm-up ahead of their Euro 2008 qualifier with Germany in Cardiff on Saturday, 8 September, followed by a trip to face Slovakia four days later.
Wayne Hennessey, 20, is expected to retain the goalkeepers' jersey, while Gillingham's Andrew Crofts could start the match in place of Robinson.
Toshack has not named Aston Villa's Mark Delaney in the squad, after the right-back had further surgery in the summer on a persistent knee problem.
Rumours persist that the 31-year-old is about to announce his retirement due to a persistent knee problem.
But while Toshack admitted that he feared for Delaney's future at Villa Park, the Wales boss hinted that the defender may not yet be ready to hang up his boots.
"We are concerned for Mark, he last played for us 12 months ago and he is our most experienced defender," Toshack said.
"I just hope that things do turn out okay for him, but although we have spoken to Villa about him we are not getting quite as bad feed-back as some are suggesting."
Wales drew 0-0 with Bulgaria in a friendly at Swansea's Liberty Stadium in mid-August last year, and have won only once in five previous meetings against Bulgaria.
Hristo Stoichkov was in charge of Bulgaria for that match, but the former Barcelona striker stepped down last April to lead Spain's Celta Vigo, with Dimitar Penev now in charge for his second spell as national coach.
Bourgas is in eastern Bulgaria on the Black Sea and the club PFC Naftex play their home matches at the ground.
Wales squad for the friendly against Bulgaria on 22 August 22: Coyne (Tranmere), Hennessey (Wolves), Price (Derby), Bale (Tottenham), D Collins (Sunderland), J Collins (West Ham), Evans (Wrexham), Gabbidon (West Ham), Morgan (Peterborough), Nyatanga (Derby), Ricketts (Hull), Crofts (Gillingham), S Davies (Fulham), M Jones (Wrexham), Koumas (Wigan), Ledley (Cardiff), Vaughan (Crewe), Bellamy (West Ham), Earnshaw (Derby), Eastwood (Wolves), Nardiello (QPR).
What are these?

This was a fun project, or should I say three? I made each of my grandsons one of these dopp kits. They all travel, camp, and just plain get around a lot. I think they will like their own little bag for their personal items and it's quite grown up looking after all.
This is the Retreat Bag from Emmaline Patterns. It is for a traditional dopp kit shape and comes in two sizes. Here you see the three I've made and I used the 9 inch smaller size. The pattern is FREE from Emmaline and is a PDF download.
Here is the inside of Jack's bag, a cotton batik that's been vinylized.
Above is a close up of the zipper installation and the wire frame channel next to it. The topstitching really seems to sink right in this faux leather. All construction seams are 1/4 inch.
In Conclusion:
This is a great design, easy to make, and FREE. It looks better with the specified wire frames so I recommend them. A nice zipper pull , which I did put on Jack's, adds a bit of panache as well. If you feel that you haven't been sewing enough for the men in your life and would like to make a gift that is quick, looks good and is functional, the Emmaline Retreat Bag is for you. For the women in your life, this would make a great makeup bag and I might make myself one out of some cottons. I will definitely be making more of these and I hope you give them a try. As always, NAYY.........Bunny

Cremona, Italy
A total of 17 people, including former Atalanta captain Cristiano Doni, have been arrested in Italy in an investigation into match-fixing and illegal betting on matches.
The investigation centers on a number of Serie B matches over the past two seasons, including three Atalanta matches.
There are also three Serie A matches from last season being investigated. Those matches are Brescia vs. Bari, Brescia vs. Lecce and Napoli vs. Sampdoria.
"This is not the end but just a starting point," Cremona prosecutor Roberto Di Martino said. "Let's hope it's a starting point in cleaning up the beautiful game that is football."
Former Inter Milan and Roma player Luigi Sartor, former Serie B player Alessandro Zamperini and active players Carlo Gervasoni of Piacenza and Filippo Carobbio of Spezia have also been arrested.
"One of the suspects has admitted that these operations have been going on for over 10 years," Di Martino said. "At the top of the organization are men from Singapore who are those who move the money, but the shareholders are divided from the West, to the Far East, to South America and they manage with their men how to change the outcome of football matches."
Doni was placed under investigation in June and in August he was banned from football for three and a half years by the Italian football federation's disciplinary committee. Atalanta, which was promoted to Serie A for this season, was given a six-point penalty.
Doni has maintained he is innocent.

Student or Learner
I have to write an essay about me. I want to work in America, in a camp during summer, with a program for student and they asked me for an essay.
Can you please check it and if you have more ideas...
Here it is:
My name is Iulia. I was born and raised in the beautiful city Sibiu, Romania which is located in Central Europe. I finished High School in my home town and now I am a student at the University Alma Mater Sibiu. Here I am studying to become an economist. I have an elder sister, her name is Oana, she has five children, four girls and one boy and she majored in Letters. She got married to a priest at the age of 19, so we didnt spend as teenargers too much time together, to become to know each other better. Now, we enjoy her lovely children, who are a blessing from God.
My mother raised us by herself, she is a very strong woman in spite of her gentle look. She believed in us every step of the way and incourage us every time we felt dissapointed. Because of her I am studying now economics. She always wanted us to do grater then she did, not to dispel our talents. And here I am at the University Alma Mater at the end of my first semester, confident in myself and ready to learn more.
I am a friendly person, realiable and hard worker. I enjoy walking in the park, riding my bike, having fun with my friends, going to picnics, skiing and spending my time with my wonderfull grandchildren. I was a witness to their first steps, their first teeth, when they started to say their first words. Only then you get to really love them for who they are: honest and inocent, they have no bad intentions and they love you unconditionally.
Thank you very much for your help. Now I realize how many words were spelled incorrectly. Maybe because I stopped writing in English six years ago.
