AC Milan hosted Lazio in the late Serie A fixture on Saturday night, with both teams needing a win to keep pace in the race for the fourth and final Champions League spot. AS Roma won earlier in the day, meaning that Milan started the match in 5th place, one point behind Roma, and Lazio started the match in 7th place, three points behind Milan and four points behind their cross-town rivals.
Milan had a couple chances at about the half-hour mark, as Suso had a shot go just over the net from a good feed in the box from Krzysztof Piatek. Almost immediately after that chance, Davide Calabria put a great cross into the box and Piatek's header went agonizingly wide of the post.
Hakan Calhanoglu had a blistering shot go inches over the crossbar about 10 minutes later, while Ciro Immobile had a shot from a tight angle hit the side netting a in Lazio's best chance of the half.
Good first half from Milan generally, lively game players look up for it and enjoying themselves. Just need that goal to break the ice. Everything Lazio has gotten we've given them.

The match felt pretty even going into half-time, despite the possession favoring Milan. Both teams had about five chances with Lazio having four shots on target, although Pepe Reina was up to the task and had covered the post on Immobile's shot.
Joaquín Correa was taken off early in the second half for Lazio, replaced by Felipe Caicedo after Correa took a knock after a challenge from Bakayoko, although the challenge wasn't extremely aggressive from the Chelsea loanee.

Despite some pressure, Milan continued to fail to get anything going attacking wise. For example, the 60th minute featured a wasted chance, as Suso ran into trouble and his attempted through-ball to Piatek was easily defended by Lazio.
Both Calabria and Milan captain Alessio Romagnoli were forced off due to injury in the 68th minute, with Diego Laxalt and Cristian Zapata coming on. Milan switched to a three central defender formation, with Franck Kessie and Bakayoko playing in front of a back three of Zapata, Ricardo Rodriguez, and Mateo Musacchio, while Laxalt shifted to a wing back position, and Fabio Borini went out to play as an unlikely wingback on the right.

Zapata made an immediate impact as the Colombia international went on a run forward and his created chance was nearly converted by Piatek. Not a lot for either team, as both teams looked rather ponderous on the ball and nothing much was developing for either team on the attacking side of the game.
Great penalty by Kessié. Bottom corner cool as you like. 1-0 Milan. pic.twitter.com/wW44xsGxv5
— Para (@Paracelsus) April 13, 2019
A couple minutes of controversy ultimately resulted in a penalty for Milan that was slotted home by Kessie. First, a penalty for handball was whistled on Francesco Acerbi, but VAR was consulted and no penalty was given, and despite the Rossoneri colored-glasses, it was the correct decision.
However, Musacchio was taken down in the box after Lazio failed to clear the ball from the resulting corner, and Kessie made no mistake firing the ball into the bottom right corner, putting Milan up 1-0.
Lazio created some late pressure and Patrick Cutrone came on for Piatek. Lazio manager Simone Inzaghi was sent off after Luis Alberto seemed to get a rather harsh yellow card. Lazio seemed to get frustrated the longer the match went on, and Milan started to get a little free in the second half.
Six minutes of stoppage time were given, likely because of the length of time it took for Milan to switch players after both Romagnoli and Calabria came off injured. Rodriguez made an incredible challenge in the dying embers of the match on Sergej Milinković-Savić that resulted in a few shouts for a penalty, but nothing was given.
However, in the end Milan were able to pick up a vital win in their effort towards qualifying for next year's Champions League. Milan will have to wait for Atalanta's match against Empoli on Monday to see if they will sit alone in fourth place or if their neighbors will be able to get back to being level on points.

Throughout history, lotteries have been an important way to raise funds for public projects. They are typically run by city or state governments, and the money is generally set aside for government programs. Lotteries are also a fun way to raise money for charities and other causes. Some lotteries are successful and generate huge jackpot prizes.
The lottery industry is a growing market. There are dozens of active lottery programs around the world. There are also many scratch-off tickets available in various countries. However, most lottery players prefer to play online games. The rapid development of technology has contributed to the expansion of the lottery business.
In the United States, the lottery industry is estimated to have generated $71 billion in 2012. In China, the lottery industry is estimated to have generated $43 billion in 2012. The Chinese government is striving to consolidate the current lottery market. The government is also trying to attract more punters to purchase lottery tickets. However, traditional lottery product sales have decreased due to government regulations.
According to a report, the global lottery market is divided into three segments, namely Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America. The Asia-Pacific lottery market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period. The lottery market is predicted to reach $430.4 billion by 2031. The market in North America is expected to remain the largest subsegment during the forecast period.
In Europe, there are national lotteries in most countries. There are also many multi-jurisdictional lotteries that generate huge jackpot prizes. For example, the Mega Millions lottery has five numbers drawn from a pool of numbers from 1 to 70. This lottery also has three additional tiers of rewards.
In the United States, the lottery is an important source of funding for public education. Lottery funds are used to support school systems, colleges, and universities. In addition, lottery money is often used for local causes. There are many charitable organizations that accept the funds that are raised from lotteries.
Lotteries are a fun and easy way to raise money for charities. However, they are not guaranteed to make you rich. In fact, many lottery players go bankrupt after winning a lottery. Rather, it's a good idea to have an emergency fund in place if you win. You can also help to support a cause by donating to a charity of your choice.
The lottery business has benefited from increased smartphone penetration. Online games are a convenient way to play. In addition, the lottery is a low-odds game. You can play any time of the day. The lottery is available in more than 100 countries around the world.
According to a recent study, the Asia-Pacific lottery market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.1% during the next four years. Increasing awareness about lottery schemes and product innovation are predicted to contribute to the growth of the lottery market in this region. The lottery market is segmented according to product, regional, and application.

15 Best Markets In Egypt: Must Visit
Are you looking for the best markets in Egypt?
Egypt, a land of ancient wonders and captivating history, entices travelers from all corners of the globe with its pyramids, temples, pharaohs, and beautiful beaches.
Beyond the iconic landmarks, this mesmerizing country also boasts a vibrant market scene that will awaken your senses and transport you into a world of colors, aromas, and cultural richness.
Markets in all Middle Eastern countries have some similarities. Whether you visit markets in Dubai, Tunisia, or Marocco, you will soak up the culture, together with the smells of spices, and products bursting with all colors, and negotiate the prices with the sellers.
Whether you would like to buy some souvenirs from your holiday or just to experience the atmosphere of traditional Middle Eastern markets, you should visit at least one market in Egypt.
In this blog post I will provide you with the best markets in Egypt in different cities you can choose from.
15 Best Markets In Egypt
Each city in Egypt has one or more markets where locals and tourists go to buy their daily necessities or souvenirs. The Best markets can be found in the capital city of Cairo. However, other cities have great markets too that you can visit and buy some nice souvenirs from your holiday.
Best Markets in Cairo
1. Khan El-Khalili
Khan El-Khalili is the oldest, biggest, and best market in Egypt. It dates back to the 14th century and is spread over an area of 5,000 meters square.
Khan El-Khalili is located in Old Cairo and except for the market, you can find Al-Hussein Mosque, Al-Hakim Bi Amr Allah Mosque, and Moez Street, as well as cafes and places with traditional Egyptian food there.
Let yourself get lost in the narrow alleys while soaking up the traditional Egyptian atmosphere and shopping for your souvenirs.
And what can you buy here? Everything, perfumes, spices, stained-glass lamps, clothes, artifacts, jewelry, aromatic incense, shisha, carpets, and much more.
I do recommend visiting the Mosque and looking around in the afternoon, and starting your shopping in the evening when you will get the best from the Egyptian culture.
When you are in Cairo, Khan El-Khalili is a must-visit market.
2. Souk Al Khayamiya
Just 10 minutes drive from Khan El-Khalili, tucked away in a charming corner of Cairo, lies a market Souk Al Khayamiya, known as a street of the Tentmakers.
This small market is dedicated to the Cairene art of crafting stunning tapestries using the vibrant technique of appliqué stitching. Originally used to adorn the interiors of Bedouin desert tents. Also, rugs and other textile products are available to buy here.
Echoing the beauty of Islamic calligraphy and the intricate tilework found in the city's mosques, as well as drawing inspiration from ancient scenes adorning Pharaohs' tombs, these tapestries are a testament to the country's artistic heritage.
As you wander through the souk, you'll have the opportunity to see skilled artisans at work and witness firsthand the techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation, preserving this remarkable tradition.
3. Souk Al-Fustat
Souk Al-Fustat can be found in the center of Coptic Cairo. This market is a little bit different than the traditional market as prices are fixed here and there is no need to haggle. Therefore it is more suitable for those who don't like to negotiate the price and rather buy the product they like.
You can buy mostly handmade products from wood, leather, copper, silver, rugs, pottery, sculptures, jewelry, clothes, and paintings.
While visiting this market, you can pay a visit to Hanging Church, one of the oldest Christian churches in Egypt located nearby.

This market is famous for medium-quality clothes or second-hand imported clothes. You can also buy shoes, bags, fabrics, and furniture here.
This market was established in the 19th century and it is a very chaotic market with many stalls and a lot of haggling. Therefore this market is suitable for someone who would like some adventure.

El Azbakeya Wall market dates back to the 19th century and it is located near Azbakeya Garden. El Azbakeya market is all about books. You can find here old, used, new, and very rare books dated back to the 1800s.

Tips For Visiting Markets In Egypt
Before visiting any market, also called a souk or bazaar, in the Middle East, you must know it is totally different experience than shopping in markets in Europe. The Arabic salesmen are very skillful and sometimes too pushy.
Shopping on markets in the Middle East can be sometimes an adrenaline experience and not everyone likes it. Therefore I would like to provide you with some tips and advice when visiting markets in Egypt.
- First of all, dress conservatively, cover your knees and shoulders, and don't wear expensive watches and jewelry.
- When you just want to look around and experience the market without buying anything, don't make eye contact with the sellers. The same applies to touching the products. Once you do that, you are caught and they will start to offer you everything and negotiate the price with you.
- Once you want to buy something, be friendly and nice, but at the same time assured. Don't be weak or shy as they will see it and you will buy something you didn't want to buy for a high price. Knowing some Arabic words is very handy here.
- Once they tell you the price, haggle about half price and then you can negotiate together until you reach the price you are willing to pay. They always tell you a much higher price and they expect you to bargain.
- They can offer you a discount if you buy more products from them, or give you a present if you buy more.
- In case you are a solo woman or a group of women, be ready for many compliments, smiles, and sometimes even hugs. You don't have to be scared, this is the way they are. You can accept the hug if you like, if not, just nicely refuse but stay friendly. Getting annoyed can make them angry, and can kick you out of their shop.
- Be friendly, make conversation, and have fun.

text: Yale School of Medicine has established the Creed/Patton/Steele Scholarship Fund, which recognizes the importance of diversity in graduate and professional education, and honors the achievements of Courtlandt Van Rensselaer Creed, M.D., the first African American to graduate from the Yale School of Medicine. The scholarship campaign, initiated with gifts by alumnus, Robert E. Steele, M.P.H., 1971; Ph.D., 1975, is designed to help recruit and support outstanding students from underrepresented groups entering theDepartment of Epidemiology and Public Health at Yale School of Medicine. Other scholarship initiatives include creating tuition-free Public Health Opportunity Scholarships; developing a new summer academic enrichment program for undergraduate and high school students funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation; and adopting a statement of principle by the faculty to make cultural diversity a priority. Once fully endowed and named, the scholarship will be the first of its kind created by alumni and friends of EPH. "The amount of scholarship assistance for MPH students at Yale affects the school's ability to recruit students to the program and also affects the career choices students make when they graduate," said Elaine Anderson, director of alumni and community affairs at EPH. "Dr. Steele's gift challenges alumni and friends of the school to join in meeting a common goal: to endow a scholarship that will enable students from underrepresented groups to attend Yale." Creed's attendance at Yale came on the heels of the Connecticut Assembly's decision to remove references to race in the state's constitution in 1846. In 1854, the climate in the state and at Yale and its medical institution was favorable when he became the first African American to officially register and study at Yale. Twenty years earlier, a Connecticut law prohibiting out-of-state African Americans from attending any Connecticut school without permission from the town, kept James W.C. Pennington of New York from officially enrolling in Yale's Divinity School. He was allowed to attend classes but left without a degree. He went on to receive international praise as a scholar and to accept an honorary doctorate from the University of Heidelberg. As a life long New Haven resident, Creed was not subject to the law that prevented Pennington from enrolling at Yale. He was the son of John Creed, a steward at Yale, and Vashti Duplex Creed, the first African American teacher in New Haven. His parents had named him for Courtlandt Van Rensselaer, friend and classmate of Yale President Dwight Woolsey, Dean Charles Hooker and Reverend Leonard Bacon, a member of the Yale Corporation. After completing three years of study and researching and writing a thesis, Creed took his oral examinations before representatives of the Connecticut Medical Society, the faculty of the Medical School and President Woolsey. On January 15-16, 1857 he received the M.D. with 10 other young men. His thesis, "On the Blood," dealt with the chemistry and physiology of blood in health and sickness. After graduation, Creed opened an office on Chapel Street in New Haven and developed a prosperous practice. According to Creed historian Curtis Patton, professor in the Departments of Microbiology and Epidemiology and Public Health, at the outbreak of the Civil War, Creed wrote to the governor of Connecticut requesting a commission to serve as a surgeon in the state militia, but was refused because of his race. As the war progressed, the need for African Americans to further the Union cause became clear and the governor issued a call to arms to African American men in 1863. Creed wrote to the governor again, this time to thank him, declaring, "On every side we behold colored sons rallying to the sound of Liberty and Union." He enlisted in 1864 and was appointed acting surgeon of the 30th Connecticut Volunteers, a company of African Americans. After the war, Creed returned to his New Haven practice. Over the years, he was featured in New York Times articles, including one on the shooting of President Garfield. Doctors did not want to operate on the wounded President until they could locate the bullet. Creed was on the list of several prominent physicians that The White House contacted for suggestions on how to find the bullet. President Garfield died of blood poisoning in 1881 before the bullet could be found. Another New York Times article highlighted Creed's forensic expertise in helping to solve the murder of a young New Haven woman who had been poisoned with arsenic. Two local boys were eventually arrested for the crime. "Arsenic Under the Elms: Murder in Victorian New Haven," a recent novel by Virginia McConnell, is based on those events. After a very challenging life and career, Creed died in New Haven on August 8, 1900 at age 65. Following in Creed's footsteps, Edward A. Bouchet, B.A. 1874, Ph.D., 1876, was the first African American undergraduate at Yale College and the first to earn a Ph.D. from an American university, the sixth Ph.D. ever earned in the nation. "While remaining a part of the powerful black culture of learning and service they brought with them," said Curtis Patton, "African American students tolerated peculiar arrangements at Yale and other institutions in the nineteenth century. They refined their talents, finished courses of study on time, and on occasion they departed with degrees along with a few abiding bonds and great memories. With these in their minds and in their hearts, they moved on with wonder and grace to witness new possibilities for themselves, their communities and their nation." To celebrate Creed's contributions to health in New Haven and among Civil War soldiers, the Creed Community Health Conference, "Partners In Health and In Sickness, New Haven and Yale," will take place on Saturday, February 17 from 12 to 6 p.m. in Winslow Auditorium, 60 College Street. The conference will highlight current collaborations between Yale and the New Haven community to enhance Medical Center research, diagnoses, treatment and prevention efforts to eliminate city health disparities. The Creed/Patton/Steele Scholarship Fund goal is $100,000 and currently has $58,000. For more information about the scholarship or to make contributions, please contact Alison Bonds at 203-785-5577 or by e-mail, email@example.com.

NBA EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS: HEAT v PACERS
May 19, 2014
Dwyane Wade
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA: Practice Day
Q.Ă'Â Dwyane, you guys have really changed a lot of your matchups.Ă'Â LeBron opening against the four.Ă'Â Shane against George.Ă'Â Guys in different places than they've previously been.Ă'Â How much of an adjustment process was the actual start of the game for you guys?
DWYANE WADE:Ă'Â It was a little adjustment, but no excuse why we came out turning the ball over.Ă'Â We've been changing lineups all year.Ă'Â We should be used to it.
Q.Ă'Â Would it be a little more comfort for you to be at the four just because it would seemingly get people back to the spot where they're more comfortable?
DWYANE WADE:Ă'Â I don't know.Ă'Â We're comfortable with Shane starting.Ă'Â It has nothing to do with that.Ă'Â It has nothing to do with who's starting at this point.Ă'Â So not at all.
Q.Ă'Â Spoelstra said it was the worst that you guys have played defensively.Ă'Â When you look at the film, what do you take from it that you guys did wrong defensively?
DWYANE WADE:Ă'Â Well, I mean, they had six guys in double figures or something like that.Ă'Â They got everything they wanted from the standpoint of three‑pointers, attacking to get free throws, paint points, fast break points, all those things.Ă'Â So we gave up kind of everything in a sense.
The one thing we're great at is pick‑and‑rolls, and we gave that up as well.Ă'Â The way that they played, the way that we played‑‑ obviously, offensively we did some positive things.Ă'Â We had a lot of paint points.Ă'Â We didn't shoot well from the outside, but getting points in the paint is great, but defensively we didn't do what we needed to do.
Q.Ă'Â What kinds of adjustments do you need to make going into Game 2?
DWYANE WADE:Ă'Â We'll make some adjustments defensively.Ă'Â We always make adjustments when we do wrong.Ă'Â So we're not saying exactly what our adjustments we'll be.Ă'Â We'll make some adjustments.
Q.Ă'Â You've been in this situation before.Ă'Â Even Game 3 against Brooklyn you played a bad game and bounced back.Ă'Â How much do you kind of lean on that?
DWYANE WADE:Ă'Â We lean on the history of playing together, but we also know that, just because of that doesn't mean that you're going to correct it.Ă'Â You've got to come out and do something about it.
So we have to play a lot better.Ă'Â Defensive game, we have to‑‑ like I said, we've got to do a better job of‑‑ obviously, guys that make shots.Ă'Â We've got to do a better job of making shots when we get the opportunity versus a tough defensive team.Ă'Â So when you get your shots, you've got to take them, and we need to make them.
We're going to win this series, winning it by defending, trying to keep them off the line, and not rebound the ball.
Q.Ă'Â I know you said it doesn't matter who starts.Ă'Â You guys went bigger to start the second half.Ă'Â Did you find any boost or advantage from that lineup later?
DWYANE WADE:Ă'Â It all has its pros, and it all has its cons.Ă'Â It doesn't matter who starts on our team.Ă'Â That person brings something different to our team than the other person and vice versa.
So whoever coach puts out there to start, we've got to be prepared for it, and we've got to play with whoever's out there.
Q.Ă'Â It seemed like you guys were attacking.Ă'Â Yet you look at the free throws, and there was a huge advantage to them.Ă'Â When you go into a game, it seems like you need to get free throws.Ă'Â How do you try to get to the line more?
DWYANE WADE:Ă'Â You can't try to get to the line.Ă'Â You've just got to keep playing.Ă'Â We attack guys.Ă'Â Things change from game to game.
First game, it wasn't there for us.Ă'Â Hopefully, the next one.Ă'Â If it's not, then we can't worry about that neither.Ă'Â We've still got to find a way to win the game.
Q.Ă'Â Dwyane, what's it been about this team that's allowed you guys to have so many, after losses on the road, come back and win through so many years?
DWYANE WADE:Ă'Â You know, just we've always believed in ‑‑ one of our mottos is owning it, and we've always believed as a group of owning the things that we did wrong and our mistakes, and then coming in trying to right our wrong and coming in with a different focus as well, understanding what we have to do.
So when you're in the playoffs, we're a team that you don't want to get down 2‑0.Ă'Â We haven't been down 2‑0.Ă'Â So we always find a way, try to find a way, over the years, to not lose two games in a row.Ă'Â We've played our tails off that next game to do that.
So tomorrow is not about X's and O's as much as it's about, obviously, attention to detail and obviously having focus, but just playing our tails off.

Observations on projected observation
One thing i've noticed over the years is that people will often tell me what my state is, like it were fact, as if i had no sensory organs.
They almost never ask me how it is, but instead say "i can see you are X", without any evidence or much more than their own emotionally reactionary opinions that often get in the way of their own genuine understanding of the situation.
This is called projection.
When I've corrected them about their ideas on whatever the fuck is going on, these people usually get very upset and continue to try to force me to fit into their unfortunately narrow cognition.
This is a form of abuse, it is called gaslighting. Don't do it.
If you fail to understand how inflicting your lack of understanding on others existence is abuse, imagine if anyone told you what you were hungry for every time you said that you wanted to eat something…
If you are doing this, stop doing it today.
If someone is doing this to you, give them a chance or two to take up the new information about the state you experience, but no more. If they continue to attempt to drive your state, they are actively manipulating you.
If this is happening to you, it is completely smart to walk away.

The Big Routes Ossian's Magnificent Seven
With only a raven for company, Dan Bailey enjoys a wild seven-Munro circuit of Ben Alder, Geal-Charn and the Ossian hills, in the wide open spaces bordering Rannoch Moor.
Whether it's a must-do scramble or a multi-summit tick fest, every mountain hit list has its essential biggies. From thrilling ridges to testing challenge walks in the wilds, we all like to push the envelope once in a while. In this series we cover some of the UK's gnarliest walks - and they don't come much tougher than this huge round of all nine of Kintail's Munros.
The mountains of Kintail stand among a dramatic and beautiful corner of the north-west Highlands. They are the ultimate hillwalker's hills, with miles of high altitude ridge strung from summit to summit. High and pointed peaks crash into the glens with astounding abruptness; almost nowhere else in the country will you find mountains of such consistent vertical relief.
"There is a fantastic poetry built into this round of the Kintail hills, in that by the time you are approaching the Sisters of Kintail, the sun is dropping in the west"
The Glen Shiel A87 provides passage through this, one of the emptiest mountain tracts in the country. On the south side, the Cluanie ridges give way to the lands of Loch Quoich and Knoydart. To the north, you could walk for days through Affric, Mullardoch and Monar without seeing a road, nor another soul. But immediately off the road rise the dramatic hills of Ciste Dhubh, the 'Three Brothers' and yet more famous 'Five Sisters of Kintail'. Along with an extended start, it is these mountains, a nine-Munro loop, that my route would traverse.
Distance 36km
Ascent 4000m
Time Two days recommended, with an overnight in Camban bothy. Walking time at Naismith's Rule is 14 hours, but expect it to take longer still - unless you're running.
Start/End Kintail Outdoor Centre, Morvich (NG967211)

Guidebook Great Mountain Days in Scotland by Dan Bailey (Cicerone)
Terrain This is primarily a high-level route on ridges; often grassy and with occasional rougher sections on rock. The northern hills of A' Ghlas-bheinn and Beinn Fhada are crossed on open rough ground. You will encounter very little in the way of paths until you reach the popular ridge crests from Ciste Dhubh onward. The start and end of the route is walked on landrover tracks.
Winter Grade A couple of points on the route will turn into short winter grade I/II scrambles; notably a short downclimb west of Sgurr nan Spainteach. But as is the case in Kintail, there are many locations on the high and narrow ridges where a fall may easily be consequential in winter.
Overnight options Splitting the round over two days entails a night out mid-route. Camping options abound, perhaps the most convenient being the Bealach a' Choinich just south of Ciste Dubh. If you don't want to carry a tent, the obvious overnight option is to stay at Camban bothy (NH053183). The remote Alltbeithe Youth Hostel (tel 0845 2937373) offers a slightly less spartan alternative, though it's a detour from the route and not open year-round.
Short cuts and escape routes Early on in the round, you can drop into Gleann Lichd, which will drop you right back at your starting point, or on latter stages you can drop straight into Glen Shiel and the A87 so long as you are happy to hitch back to Morvich.
I'd had the route in the back of my mind for a while, and the promise of a good forecast with the relative lack of snow meant that March might provide an opportunity, rather than in the summer. The night before, I'd slept in the car at the head of Loch Duich, and with the early alarm, I parked outside the Kintail Outdoor Centre at Morvich and was on my way by half past six.
I'd already crossed from Ciste Dhubh to Sgurr Fhuaran a couple of times in the past. Today I was to push that even further, add on A' Ghlas-bheinn and Beinn Fhada and make the route a large closed loop.
This first hour passed by in the chill of morning air. I walked out of a valley frost into temperate conditions, simply trying to put the miles under my feet. Long spurs reach westward off A' Ghlas-bheinn into Strath Croe. One of the central spurs had been felled of forestry and thus it was my route of ascent. It's not the most elegant approach to a summit, but I'm not sure an elegant route really exists on this hill.
The upper slopes of the mountain brought me into the snow for the first time; deep, partially refrozen snow. I reached the top in clear conditions, but in a hard wind; too chilling to hang around in. With my first summit gained, I descended southward toward Beinn Fhada, a long descent of steep snowbanks, little crags and knolls.
Ahead was Meall a' Bhealaich, a subsidiary top of Beinn Fhada. It presents a steep aspect against the symmetrical Bealach an Sgairne. The best advice here is not to bother going direct. You'd be much better following the stalking track around to the right to Beinn Fhada. In the interest of cutting out ascent and distance I climbed it relatively directly, which turned into a heathery, rubble-strewn scramble up banks of detaching moss and refrozen snow. I can't really recommend it.
Beinn Fhada gave me some of the best light I've ever had in the mountains; sharp yet soft, contrasting as to give definition, but not washed out. I could see Ben Cruachan in the south, all the way to An Teallach in the north, and I knew it at the time. The cairn arrived, my second summit of the day. In spite of a bitter wind, I was ecstatic at where I'd managed to get myself.
Two down, seven to go. But there's a long way yet...
The next part of the route really was the meat of the day; across Beinn Fhada, a long descent toward Camban and back out the other side to Ciste Dhubh. I dropped steeply off the flank of the hill, getting tangled among steep thawing snowfields in the process. This is a long descent, a full 2000 feet to the floor. Though you know you have to climb those 2000 feet again, you can do that in the optimistic knowledge that once you are on Ciste Dhubh, you've essentially broken the back of the round. Once there, why wouldn't you go all the way to Sgurr Fhuaran? The day might not be done, but you can convince yourself it is as good as!
If you were splitting the route over two days, a night here at Camban bothy would be a good option; but I was going for the one-day round, so I took just 20 minutes at the Allt Cam-ban, drying feet out and taking on food and water. I was a little behind time, though nothing to worry about and not a reason not to stop either. Then I climbed the long slope up to Ciste Dhubh. An hour of work dropped me on its summit, the far end of today's loop and a logical half-way.
From here, the resistance would decrease; the ascents would grow smaller. For now though, the Cluanie Inn seemed a lot closer than Sgurr Fhuaran, which did look disturbingly far away. Aonach Meadhoin was a snowy dome, and I followed the lines of bootprints snaking upward. Like the rest of the day, I was either avoiding the deep snow, or simply sinking into deep snow. It can be a challenge to keep moving at speed on spring snowfields.
No match for crag id:"Sgurr a' Bhealaich Dheirg" is another fantastic mountain. Oddly anonymous seen from Glen Shiel, it presents a much better appearance to the north, double spurs plunging into Gleann Lichd. It isn't a long way from Aonach Meadhoin, nor is the ascent so great, but I did find myself having to start to dig deep. Energy was low. On the other hand, it was #141 of my current Munro Round - half way - but any thoughts toward celebration were futile against the effort still to come. Saileag seemed a simple formality, then I took another 10 minutes of rest at Bealach an Lapain.
There is a fantastic poetry built into this round of the Kintail hills, in that by the time you are approaching the Sisters of Kintail, the sun is dropping in the west, turning the Highlands to gold. Long days like these are the antidote to the feeling we get when we have found something special among the hills, yet faced without a reason to stay high, we must reluctantly return to the glens. Here, you can stay on the horizon for as long as the sun sustains.
A long ridge rises ahead; over Sgurr nan Spainteach to the first of the Sisters. It would give some of the only technical moments on a true winter round of these hills, in particular a short downclimb beyond Sgurr nan Spainteach. Now in the shadow of the hill, I slogged up Sgurr na Ciste Duibhe, legs like lead, and stood on the top overlooking Loch Duich, the sun setting behind Beinn Sgritheall and the Cuillin.
I dragged myself over No match for crag id:"Sgurr na Carnach", and at last I was at the foot of my final summit. Such effort of the body can create a tension in the mind, and it was hard to hold this. But there was no way around the effort; it must be made now. Glen Shiel was in the shade, a full 1000 vertical metres below. I paced out the final ascent to Sgurr Fhuaran, the highest summit of the Five Sisters. It is perhaps one of the most spectacular summits in the Highlands. The hills were bathed in evening light and snow-spattered. I had no climbing left to do, and yet it didn't seem entirely significant that I was on the final summit of nine, on the roof of the country at sunset. You can pause for thought at these defining moments in the hills, but it's often hard to fully pull your head around them.
With little seemingly to wait for now, I headed off the top, running down soft snow slopes in the evening glow, appreciating the final rays in the knowledge they weren't to last. Just remember and enjoy this. Shortly, I would turn off the ridge into Gleann Lichd, confine myself to the shadowed glen and leave the high summits to the last light of day.
Dropping into Glen Lichd this way allows a natural loop to be made, and it saves road walking. But if you are to do it, make sure to be precise about where you drop off, for not far along the ridge are the cliffs of Sgurr nan Saighead. Also expect the descent to be punishing; it's a steep 3000 feet straight to sea level in Gleann Lichd. Alternatively, you can always leave a bike in Glen Shiel, descend in that direction and cycle back around.
Though I was tired now, the kilometres out the glen were electric. It is paradoxical that while I was suffering on the Sisters, I was now motoring to the end on a high. The sky was darkening and the sun had disappeared in the west. For me, a whole day on the Kintail hills was the reward for my effort, and it had been worth it.

CC and KL penalize false positives and negatives differently, which implies that they can be affected by the characteristics of the baseline. In this paper, we analyze the use of CC and KL for the evaluation of drivers' fixation maps against two types of spatial-bias baselines: baselines obtained from recorded fixation maps (data-based) and 2D-Gaussian baselines (function-based). Our results indicate that the use of CC can lead to misleading interpretations due to single fixations outside of the spatial bias area when compared to data-based baselines. Thus, we argue that KL and CC should be considered simultaneously under specific modeling assumptions.}, keywords = {proreta} }

The series Luxe Listings Sydney will premiere globally in 240 countries and territories on July 9, 2021. Amazon Prime Video's latest Australian Original takes the global streaming platform into the heady world of prestige property on the shores of Sydney Harbour.
The new series stars three Sydney prestige property specialists – agents Gavin Rubinstein and D'Leanne Lewis and buyer's agent Simon Cohen.
The series is made for Amazon Prime by Eureka Productions and executive produced by Chris Culvenor, Paul Franklin, Rikkie Proost and Sophia Mogford. Luxe Listings Sydney has been developed by Kentel and is co-produced by executive producers Benjamin Scott and James Kennedy.
Working with Scott and Kennedy on the project was one person who is no stranger to TV formats – Kyle Sandilands. The market-leading FM radio host and talent show TV judge developed the original concept with Scott. This is one project though where viewers won't get to see him onscreen.
In the first of our four-part special on the world of Sydney real estate, Mediaweek spoke with Sandilands about the TV project.
Over the remainder of the week we will also hear from agent Gavin Rubinstein, ex-producer and co-creator Benjamin Scott and Amazon Prime Video executives Tyler Bern and CJ Yu.
Mediaweek: How did you get involved in a real estate program about Sydney's eastern suburbs?
Kyle Sandilands: I had worked with Ben Scott before on the series Meet the Hockers. That was his first time producing a television series. [The series screened on 9Go! in 2017.]
Then we came up with this idea. Everyone in the Eastern Suburbs talks about real estate agents as if they were rock stars. From when I first came to Sydney I heard about these people and then I started hearing about Gavin Rubinstein who seemed almost like the Jon Bon Jovi of Sydney real estate.
Ben has a great eye and ear for what people want because he's worked in the entertainment business and in retail. We loved the real estate idea and we got involved with Kentel, who is Ben's business partner. They really pushed it through while I was there at the conceptual stage.
Is Amazon the perfect place for your TV show?
So much good FTA TV has been missed in the past because somebody might not have been able to watch a show at a particular time because of various reasons. The great thing about streaming services is that you can just choose what to watch and when. Streaming services are the new video shop for viewers.
If Luxe Listings was just going to be for local viewers on FTA TV on a Saturday afternoon this might have been rubbish. We wanted to work with a premium international streaming platform that would be able to broadcast to over 200 countries. To do that it had to be world class and that has been achieved with a good budget spent wisely on production qualities.
When the stars line up like that it is important to get all the right people on board. If it was just a low-budget exercise I don't think any of us would have been thrilled with the outcome. None of us certainly wanted that.
Amazon was great flying in and out when they could, overseeing production on the ground and on-site alongside Eureka. Both companies are all about making great content.
We are all really thrilled we have made something great together and we can't wait to push it out and let people see it.
How good are the Sydney properties in this series?
We have all known for years that the Sydney property market is exciting and electrifying. Some of the houses we get to see in this series are just jaw-dropping. It allows us to get a look inside homes we would otherwise never get to see.
It is just fascinating to also see how the stars of the series go about running their businesses day-to-day. You get to enjoy the wins and participate in the thrill of the chase just as they do.
Radio is #1 for you, but you have a fascination too with TV?
Being on the TV is where I thought I wanted to be. However, it is really time-consuming compared to the radio. At KIIS FM I work a whole four hours flat out and then I go home. On TV they want me to be there for as long as 17 hours for a third of the pay. I had to think about where the real money in TV is.
I realised it was coming up with concepts and producing programs. That is what we are doing now and why we joined up with Kentel at the concept stage.
Journalists sometimes remind their readers you don't own a luxury Sydney property?
They often like to point out that in Sydney I'm a renter, not an owner. It's their way of saying, 'He's not that fucking rich.' [Laughs]
I still own the farm in the Southern Highlands and Tegan and I have a place in Port Douglas. We are always looking at places. The one I want is the Swifts mansion in Darling Point, but at a cost of about $60m and I didn't have that much spare to buy it.
What else is your business King Kyle up to?
We have an investment in the Nueva Sangria drinks.
We are funding a new start-up that will launch in about a month's time that will help people needing to organise rental bonds. I am all over both sides of the property market!
Do you have other ideas for more TV projects?
When [Amazon Prime's] CJ and I get together next we will have a whole afternoon eating oysters while I pitch him a number of projects.

In the rise and fall of a Jewish politician named Mandel, a cautionary tale for Josh Mandel
Though he was Jewish, he won fame as an archly conservative nationalist; while he graduated from a state, not an elite university, he believed he was destined for high political office; though his fellow party members disliked him, they also acknowledged his determination; caught more than once in telling lies, he confused his brashness with truthfulness; while he served his country in war, he also made sure that experience would serve his political ambitions.
Meet not just Josh Mandel, but also Georges Mandel, one of the most fascinating French politicians in a nation that, for better and worse, had no shortage of them.
There is probably no need to introduce you to Josh Mandel, the native Ohioan who, once again, is running for political office. Having lost to Sherrod Brown in his campaign for senator, Mandel now has his sights set on the Senate seat that, thanks to Rob Portman's retirement, has opened for 2022. In a frantic race to the bottom with J.D. Vance — the self-avowed hillbilly who, like his opponent, is as mendacious as he is shameless — for the GOP nomination, Mandel released a campaign video in September that caught the media's attention.
The video framed Mandel standing in the middle of a corn field, in front of a Trump sign he had "literally" just found. Gesturing woodenly with both hands, he declared his "blood was boiling in rage" over the decision by Joe Biden — he refused to use Biden's elected title because Donald Trump was still his president — to impose a vaccine mandate for large businesses. Exhorting his fellow Ohioans not to "comply with this tyranny," Mandel declared "When the Gestapo show up at your door, you know what to do."
Here's the awful rub. While the Gestapo will not show up at Josh Mandel's door, it did show up at Georges Mandel's. His prison door, it happens. That visit — and subsequent execution of Georges Mandel — reveals the difference between the promise of French republicanism and preposterousness of American Republicanism.
Born Louis Georges Rothschild, the young man — whose father, a struggling tailor from Alsace, was several degrees removed from the Rothschilds — changed his name to Mandel to make this distinction clear. Though he graduated from a prestigious lycée in Paris, he never attended — despite his subsequent claim — the École normale supérieure, the even more prestigious university. Instead, Mandel was galvanized, like his older contemporary Léon Blum, by the Dreyfus Affair and threw himself into politics.
Unlike Blum, who became the leader of France's Socialist Party, Mandel instead pivoted hard to the political right. Though he was now keeping company with virulent antisemites like Maurice Barrès and Léon Daudet, Mandel never wavered in his nationalism. Rejected for reasons of bad health by the draft board in 1914, Mandel became the indispensable assistant to the fierce republican nationalist, Georges Clemenceau. In the dark days of 1917, Clemenceau, rightly known as "le Tigre," became prime minister by his vow that he would "to carry on the war and nothing but the war. The nation will know it is defended."
As Clemenceau's cabinet chief, Mandel proved his equal. In part, this was due to his intelligence. As one contemporary observed, Mandel "has read everything, the philosophers, the moralists, and, in particular, the historians." In part, it was due to his ruthlessness; when not breaking worker strikes, Mandel was berating the "defeatists" who sought a way out of the endless bloodbath.
Between the world wars, Mandel, breaking free of The Tiger, ran for parliament and, after two losses, won a parliamentary seat. He quickly established himself as the most ambitious and brilliant, but also and not coincidentally its most feared and isolated member. He always did his homework, always knew his dossiers, and always thought he knew better. For this reason, though the consensus was that he the most qualified man to become prime minister, he was among the least liked.
Named to a cabinet position — for the lowly postal service — for the first time only in the mid-30s, it was not until 1940 that he became Interior Minister. It was (and, with the Treasury, remains) the most powerful of all ministries; responsible for the nation's internal security, the Interior Minister is, in effect, le top flic, or cop, in France.
Of course, becoming minister of an interior besieged by German Panzers and Stukas is perhaps not the plum job it otherwise be. Yet when he was offered the position in May 1940, Mandel accepted it the spirit of his mentor Clemenceau. Along with the Prime Minister, Paul Reynaud and a newly appointed Under-Secretary of State by the name of Charles de Gaulle, Mandel resisted the faction, led by Philippe Pétain, that wanted to sue for peace. Within days, however, their furious struggle to carry on the war proved futile. On June 17, Pétain — given full powers by the parliament, took to the airwaves that he was offering the "gift of his person" to a battered France and seeking peace terms with Nazi Germany.
When the unthinkable became the irremediable, Mandel faced an existential choice. Winston Churchill, deeply impressed by Mandel's implacable and imperturbable character when they met in France in May, baptized him "Mandel le grand." Tellingly, Churchill believed Mandel, not de Gaulle, was the man of destiny and tried to persuade to cross the Channel and lead France's government-in-exile.
Mandel believed otherwise, convinced that a French Jew who quit the country in full debacle would be accused of cowardice. For this reason, de Gaulle recounts in his "Mémoires de guerre," Mandel asked the general to meet with him privately. "In a tone," de Gaulle wrote, "whose gravity and resolution impressed me," Mandel reminded him the war had only just begun. "You will have great duties to perform, General! But you will perform them with the advantage of being the one man among us all, a man with an unblemished reputation."
In the end, de Gaulle was the man of destiny. As for Mandel, destiny led him to Morocco, where he intended to carry on the war. Instead, arrested by Vichy officials, he was packed off to France where show trial summarily condemned him to life imprisonment for treason. Two years later, when German troops occupied what had until then been France's "free zone," Mandel was transferred to the concentration camp of Buchenwald where Blum had already been installed.
In the summer of 1944, just weeks after the Allied landings at Normandy, the Germans handed Mandel back to a quickly unraveling Vichy government. Imprisoned at the notorious Santé prison in Paris, Mandel was taken July 7 from his cell by miliciens — Vichy's wretched imitation of the SS — who drove the prisoner to the nearby forest of Fountainebleu, pulled him from the car and shot him dead. Perhaps because he was Jewish, perhaps because he was a republican, perhaps for both of these reasons.
In front of the cemetery of Passy, where lies buried this French Jew who gave his life for the republic, runs a grand boulevard renamed Avenue Georges Mandel in his honor. It is hard to imagine that Columbus will one day rename a street after the other Mandel to honor a Republican busy defending Donald Trump, even if it costs us our Republic.

Label lowdown: Eggs
This article was originally published in March 2020
Practically every egg carton on the shelf advertises attractive-sounding claims through both messaging and the use of certification labels. Look a little deeper to see what these claims and labels do—and, just as important, don't—guarantee. Here's a look at some of the common egg labels and on-package claims, with information courtesy of our partners at Consumer Reports.
On-package Claims:
Cage-free: This term is not regulated by any oversight agency. Cage-free chickens are not raised in a cage, according to Consumer Reports, but "might be packed into a building with tens of thousands of other birds with little ability to roam and peck."
Free-range: Definitions can range broadly. As a baseline, hens have access to an outdoor space, but there is no government standard for the amount, and birds may not be able to reach the door to the outdoors. (See the story "PCC sets a new standard for sustainable eggs" for PCC's definition of free-range.)
Pasture-raised: While definitions can differ, the common ground is quite literally the ground. Most certifications and claims imply significant outdoor time on pasture and a substantial amount of space per hen (e.g., 108 square feet). This claim also means that pasture must include living vegetation.
Labels or Seals
Third-party certification labels or seals often have a range of standards that can earn their use depending on additional on-package claims, such as "free-range" or "pasture-raised." Here are some key labels to look for and what they can mean:
USDA certified organic: The only such label backed by federal law, certified organic foods have minimal pesticide residues, no genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the feed, and animals are raised without antibiotics or added hormones. However, Consumer Reports rates the label's animal welfare requirements as weak; for instance, while poultry must be raised in living conditions that accommodate their "health and natural behaviors," chickens' beaks may be trimmed under organic standards and the Department of Agriculture has not enforced the label's requirement for outdoor access for chickens. (Combine organic with "pasture-raised," however, and outdoor, on-pasture access is assured.)
Non-GMO Project Verified: Food must contain no or minimal (less than 0.9%) genetically modified or engineered organisms. Manufacturers must work with independent certification companies that verify the product meets the Non-GMO Project's standards. The label does not address animal welfare.
Certified Humane: Overseen by Humane Farm Animal Care, a nonprofit organization. Baseline standards require that farms must provide living conditions that allow animals' freedom of movement and materials that allow them to engage in natural behaviors and increase their comfort. The standards require that all farmworkers be trained in humane animal care, and animals must be treated compassionately at all times. However, for laying hens, while cages are prohibited, the minimum space for hens can be as little as 1 square foot per bird. The standards require perches and nest boxes, both of which are important for laying hens, but do not require outdoor access or ways of engaging in natural scratch-and-peck behavior. (If you see a Certified Humane seal plus a "pasture-raised" or "free-range" claim on a carton of eggs, however, it means that the hens were required to have outdoor access with stronger space requirements.) Beak trimming is allowed.
American Humane Certified: Small wire cages (called battery cages) can't be used, but hens may be raised in other types of cages. The minimum space requirements are less than 1 square foot per bird. The birds must be given nest boxes and a place to roost—important for the welfare of laying hens. Indoor ammonia levels (produced by animal waste), which when high can cause illness, must be controlled. Beak trimming is allowed. Hens don't have to have access to a pasture, run or other outdoor space. (However, an American Humane label plus a "pasture-raised" or "free-range" claim on a carton of eggs means the hens were required to have outdoor access.)
Animal Welfare Approved: Chickens are raised on a pasture but also have access to a chicken house. They must be protected from predators and have shelter to protect them from extreme weather. The space requirements per bird exceed those of other animal welfare certification programs. The standards also require perches, dust baths, and nest boxes, all of which are important for laying hens. Beak trimming is prohibited.
United Egg Producers Certified: Hens can be confined in wire cages that provide less than half a square foot of space per bird. Birds housed in cages are not given a place to roost or nest. Producers have to provide nesting spaces for "cage-free" birds that live in a chicken house, but perches are a low-priority requirement and no access to outdoors is required. Beak trimming is allowed. Hens don't have access to pasture, run or any other additional space.

Credit Intelligence boss sells 65m shares to new investors; nets $1.4m
Jimmie Ka Sek Wong, chief of debt restructuring business Credit Intelligence, has sold 65.7 million shares to "two unrelated investors" in order to boost liquidity in the ASX-listed stock.
The off-market trade, made on Friday, netted Mr Wong $1.4 million and reduced his shareholding to 392 million.
He remains the biggest shareholder in Credit Intelligence (ASX:CI1) with a holding of 48 per cent. The company has a market cap of about $15 million.
In a statement to the ASX this morning the Hong Kong-based company told investors "the 9 per cent premium paid by the incoming shareholders demonstrates confidence in the prospects of the company's business and of its intended expansions plans into Australia and Asia".
"Mr Wong's share disposal will increase the company's available free float, providing greater liquidity to the trading volume of CI1."
CI1 shares were flat on the news at 1.8c.

When you sit down in an uncomfortable position, you may start to feel your legs "fall asleep." This sensation is caused by a temporary disruption in the flow of blood to your legs. When the blood flow is cut off, the nerves in your legs can't send messages to your brain, and you feel a numbing sensation. Although it's called "falling asleep," this sensation has nothing to do with actual sleep.
Interestingly, dogs can also experience this same phenomenon. If a dog sits in an awkward position for too long, the blood flow to his legs may be disrupted, and he may start to feel a tingling sensation. However, unlike humans, dogs don't have the ability to shift their weight and relieve the pressure on their legs. As a result, they may be forced to sit in an uncomfortable position for a long period of time until the feeling goes away. So next time you see your dog sitting awkwardly, don't worry – he's not actually falling asleep!
A more serious condition in dogs that causes decreased sensation in the legs is called neuropathy. Neuropathy is a general term used to describe any disorder that affects the nervous system. In dogs, neuropathy most commonly affects the hind legs and is caused by a loss of function in the nerves that control movement. This condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including trauma, infection, tumors, and autoimmune disease.
What is neuropathy and how does it affect dogs' legs?
Neuropathy is a condition that affects the nervous system. In dogs, neuropathy typically manifests as a loss of coordination and muscle control in the legs. This can lead to weakness, tremors, and difficulty walking.
Neuropathy is often caused by an underlying disease or injury, such as diabetes, cancer, trauma or infection. Treatment for neuropathy generally focuses on managing the underlying condition and relieving symptoms.
In some cases, physical therapy may be recommended to help your dog regain muscle strength and coordination. If your dog has been diagnosed with neuropathy, it is important to work closely with your veterinarian to ensure that he or she receives the best possible care.
What are some common symptoms of neuropathy in dogs' legs?
Neuropathy is a relatively common condition in dogs, particularly those that are aging or suffering from other health conditions. The most common symptom of neuropathy is weakness or paralysis in the legs, which can make it difficult for dogs to walk or even stand.
Other symptoms include loss of sensation in the legs, muscle atrophy, and changes in paw size or shape. In some cases, neuropathy may also cause uncontrollable twitching or spasms. If your dog is showing any of these symptoms, it's important to take them to the vet for a diagnosis. Neuropathy can be caused by a number of different conditions, so early diagnosis and treatment is essential for ensuring a good outcome.`
How can you tell if your dog's legs have fallen asleep due to neuropathy?
Neuropathy is a condition that affects the nervous system, causing a loss of sensation in the legs. While this can be a symptom of other health problems, it is most commonly caused by diabetes.
If your dog has neuropathy, you may notice that they seem to be walking on their hocks or knuckles, as they are unable to feel the ground beneath their feet. They may also drag their back legs when they walk, or lose their balance and fall over. If you think your dog may have neuropathy, it is important to take them to the vet for an evaluation. Early diagnosis and treatment can help to improve your dog's quality of life and prevent further damage to their nervous system.
What are the treatment options for dogs with neuropathy in their legs?
Neuropathy is a disorder that affects the nervous system, and it can occur for a variety of reasons. In dogs, neuropathy most commonly affects the legs and can cause a loss of sensation, an inability to walk properly, and muscle weakness.
Neuropathy is typically treated with a combination of physical therapy and medication. Physical therapy helps to strengthen the muscles and improve coordination, while medication can help to control pain and inflammation.
In some cases, surgery may also be necessary to correct the underlying cause of the neuropathy. Regardless of the treatment plan, it is important to work closely with a veterinarian to ensure that the dog has the best possible outcome.
How can you prevent your dog from developing neuropathy in their legs?
Neuropathy is a condition that affects the nervous system, and it can be incredibly debilitating for dogs. Symptoms can include weakness, loss of coordination, and pain. While there are many possible causes of neuropathy, one of the most common is diabetes. Dogs with diabetes are at risk of developing neuropathy due to the high levels of sugar in their blood.
The best way to prevent neuropathy is to keep your dog's blood sugar levels under control. This can be done through diet and exercise, and by monitoring their blood sugar levels regularly. If you think your dog may be at risk of developing neuropathy, talk to your vet about ways to prevent it.
A dog's legs can fall asleep due to sleeping or sitting in an awkward position. It is also possible for your dog to develop neuropathy which will cause a loss of feeling and coordination in the legs. If you think your dog may have neuropathy, it is important to take them to the vet for an evaluation. Early diagnosis and treatment can help to improve your dog's quality of life.

Big, bold Robertson Plaza is getting a pricey new revamp soon, with a slew of new food and beverage names looking to make room on the ground floor. Among them is The Henry, a popular Sam Fox restaurant out of Phoenix, as well as Blue Bottle Coffee.
According to sources, the 100,000 square foot property is in line for a total overhaul, which should revitalize one of the bigger properties along that leg of Robertson Boulevard. The Ivy is just one block up, around the corner is A.O.C., and both will soon be competing with The Henry, an all-day restaurant that works a menu involving everything from coffee and eggs to quick lunch plates to lingering dinner meals.
It's all-American food served in the former Newsroom Cafe space, meaning salads and burgers and steaks, but with the backing of the Sam Fox restaurant team — the same folks who run True Food Kitchen, North Italia, Wildflower, Flower Child (which has a location in Santa Monica), and many more places around the country.
Blue Bottle Coffee will also set up shop at the plaza, and they're aiming for a late summer or early fall arrival. The latest destination follows fast on the heels of Los Feliz, and marks another prime location for the quickly-expanding chain between their Beverly Hills and Beverly Boulevard locations. Rumor has it that an inbound cocktail bar called Bibo will also eventually land at the plaza too, but so far there's no further news on that front.
Robertson Plaza is still in remodel mode, with The Henry expected to arrive by early 2018. You might have to pardon the place's dust until then, but soon enough Robertson will have another popular new dining and drinking hub, not far from the likes of Gracias Madre, Cecconi's, and everything else.

Top Defi Projects To Look Out for In 2021: A comprehensive list
Today we have quite many top DeFi Projects, and it can be challenging to pick the right ones without adequate knowledge. We followed industry experts' briefings and opinions and compiled the most recurrent answers to create this comprehensive post. Aside from following these DeFi experts' views, we also researched the subject matter.
If you are a crypto and blockchain enthusiast, you must have heard about the emerging industry called Decentralized Finance(DeFi). This emerging industry has had sustainable growth and is currently worth more than $10 billion. Today everyone is talking about decentralized finance, and some crypto giants like CoinMarketCap already have a separate list dedicated to DeFi projects.

Why Should You Be Concerned About these Top DeFi Projects?
Before we go further to explore these top DeFi projects, let us understand what decentralized finance is. DeFi is an idea of rebuilding the traditional infrastructure of financial services to a fully decentralized one. It seeks to eliminate the need for third-parties like companies and governments. DeFi has the potential to revolutionize the global financial landscape.
Dune Analytics, a crypto market data aggregator, revealed that the total number of DeFi users has increased by roughly 11 times over the last year. This shows that people are gradually accepting a world of decentralized finance. There are many great DeFi projects that we will discuss in this post. If you are a crypto investor, you shouldn't take our word for it 100%. Do your due diligence before committing your money. The purpose of this post is to draw your attention to some of these wonderful top DeFi projects with huge potential.
We conducted thorough research on the best DeFi projects to look out for as we go further into 2021. Here are the top 5 on our list.
Top 5 DeFi Projects In 2021
For clarification, this list of top DeFi Projects is in no particular order.
Chainlink is a decentralized data feed that connects blockchains to off-blockchain data. It is a decentralized oracle and provides reliable tamper-proof inputs and outputs for complex smart contracts on any blockchain system. Chainlink has the capacity to access information in and out of blockchain in a secure, trustworthy, and decentralized manner. This project deserves its place on the top DeFi projects in 2021.
Chainlink's token usage ecosystem is what separates the project from the crowd of other decentralized finance projects. Smart contract owners use the Chainlink token (LINK) to pay Chainlink nodes to access their data. The number of LINKs a node has is proportional to how reputable that node is. Therefore, oracle providers are incentivized to hold as many LINKs in their Chainlink nodes. It gives them more usage and profit.
Another promising DeFi project to watch out for is Compound. It is a software that runs on Ethereum, and it allows borrowers to take out loans and lenders to offers loans. Lenders provide these loans by locking their crypto assets into the protocol. The crypto asset supply and demand determine the interest rates that borrowers pay and lenders receive.
With Compound, lenders receive interest faster than simple interest on the money the lender already has. The network achieves this through its unique and efficient lending system. As the length of time you hold your balance with them increases, the greater the potential interest you are able to ear on Compound.
This is arguably one of the best DeFi projects available in the market. The Uniswap protocol allows users to exchange ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum. Uniswap offers a user-friendly and low latency interface for direct ETH and ERC-20 token swapping. Due to the decentralized nature of Uniswap, it doesn't take any fees for itself. The project is designed to function as a public good.
Most users prefer Uniswap to other exchanges because Uniswap does not have an order book. Uniswap employs a mechanism known as "Constant Product Market Maker." This mechanism determines the exchange rate and price slippage. There are three main users on Uniswap; casual users, liquidity providers, and arbitrageur. Each of these users plays a vital role in the Uniswap ecosystem.
Read: Stellar Payment Network: Changing the global payment industry
The liquidity providers are incentivized to provide capital and earn transaction fees generated by the casual users. On the other hand, arbitrageurs are also incentivized to provide external price information by earning spreads between Uniswap and other exchanges.
Yearn Finance
Another one of the top DeFi projects on our list is Yearn Finance. It is a decentralized finance platform that performs a lot of functions. Yearn Finance functions as an aggregated liquidity and automated market maker by moving provider's cash from one platform to another.
The platform allows access to advanced earning mechanisms, thus giving people easy access to new investment strategies. If you hold $YFI in its protocol, you will earn a percentage share of the platform's fees generated by other users.
Last but not least, of our top 5 DeFi projects is Polkadot. This project aims to deliver the most robust platform for security, scalability, and innovation. One of the reasons why many people are talking about Polkadot today is because it is more scalable than Ethereum. Instead of using the traditional blockchain nodes, Polkadot uses several parallel chains to execute transactions.
It is also a cross-blockchain protocol with the capacity to transfer data between two different blockchains. Although Polkadot is a smart contract platform, many developers are using it to build DeFi tools and projects.
There are other great projects other than our top 5 DeFi projects. Although it is still very early in terms of DeFi adoption, these 5 featured Defi projects may gradually grab the spotlight they deserve with time. The ultimate movement of all these DeFi projects is to be free from the monetary control of centralized financial institutions. In the past year, the growth of decentralized finance has been one of the biggest cryptocurrency stories. In the end, we still have a long way to go with the mainstream adoption of DeFi projects

I want to say right at the start that I would love WHO'S ANNIE to go to series. I think it's got a great central character, Annie Pisapia as Annie, that makes this show sing. It has a lot of possibilities that make me want to see where it all goes. I have one thing that I think they may have to change if it goes farther.
The show is about Annie, a well traveled actress who has fought addiction, been in prison, married five times and lord knows what else. While doing a Burger Queen commercial she meets director Sophia Peer whose life is a mess. However she sees something in Annie and fashions a series about the two of them making a series about the two of them making a series.
Pisapia is fantastic. This could be a star making performance. She is a real person who never seems like she is acting. She is fully invested in everything that she is doing. I was enraptured. Watching the show all I could think was what I was going to see her in next and when will the awards roll in. I'm serious. She is that good.
The problem with the show is writer director creator and co-star Peer. Sure she is wonderful behind the camera, but unfortunately in front of it she is light weight. This isn't to say she's bad, she's not, but she is no match for Pisapia and the rest of the cast. I understand it's her show but where everyone sells what's going on, she really doesn't. The scene where she calls Pisapia about the series while watching a TV news story about elder abuse and she hits her grandmother seems wrong. Yes it belongs in another project, but Peer seems like she is in a sillier comedy. If they could recast her role this series would be a hit.
Definitely worth a look- especially for -Annie Pisapia is destined for greatness.
