Will the Airbus Restructuring Force Big Changes at Boeing?
Airbus confirmed over the weekend the reports on Friday that the company was merging its commercial aircraft division's headquarters with the group's headquarters. An unspecified amount of cost savings is expected as the move will result in those famous synergies that typically involve firing people.
Should Boeing Co. be worried? On the face of it, there appears to be little new threat from a management reshuffle at Airbus, but if the changes at the top are only the beginning, Boeing might want to begin doing some hard strategic thinking.
Both companies have suffered from a slowdown in new orders since the end of 2014. That is not going to improve anytime soon, but both companies also have years-long backlogs to help tide them over. Other things being equal, Airbus should perform better than Boeing through this period.
All things, however, are not equal. Airbus faces a decision on whether to put new engines on its superjumbo A380. In fact it has faced this decision for a couple of years now, and it has stalled because it has just one customer (Emirates airlines). Production of Boeing's 747 is slowing down and the iconic airplane may disappear from the company's price list in the next year or so. The market for jets of this size, never very large, continues shrinking.
The other bits of bad news for Airbus are the massive cost overruns on its A400M military transport and the delays in delivering the A350 passenger jet. Airbus wrote off a combined €1.4 billion in the second quarter for these programs. Neither problem is entirely solved, nor is the reworking of the Pratt & Whitney engine that powers the company's A320neo single-aisle competitor to Boeing's 737. These, however, look to be bumps in the road rather than life-threatening cliffs.
Boeing's problems are different and, by some accounts, worse. In addition to slowing sales, the company is having serious trouble getting new orders for its twin-engine, dual-aisle 777 to keep the production line going until the new 777X is ready for deliveries in 2019. The new 737 MAX airplanes will begin deliveries next year, but Boeing was slow coming up with the design for this competitor to the A320neo and that cost the company orders.
Over at Leeham News, Scott Hamilton cites a research report on Boeing and Airbus released last Friday by analysts at Goldman Sachs, a consistent Boeing bear. Goldman rates Airbus a Buy and Boeing a Sell:
In our view, today is a rare time where one [company]'s product set (Airbus) is meaningfully stronger that the other's (Boeing.) We think significant market share shifts could occur, without a pricing response from Boeing. And we think Boeing may need to invest significantly in multiple new aircraft, over time.
We wrote last week that Boeing is considering developing two new aircraft: one, a stretched version of the 737 MAX 9 to carry an additional 12 to 18 passengers; and the other a clean-sheet replacement for 757 and 767 known variously as the middle-of-the-market or new mid-size aircraft (NMA). Goldman Sachs believes that the Airbus A321neo and A330neo cover that market adequately and will be available before any new design from Boeing is ready for delivery.
One last note from Goldman: the analysts predict that free cash flow could quadruple at Airbus and decline by 30% at Boeing due to the availability of the A321neo over a still nonexistent variant from Boeing. Because Boeing argued that cash flow is the most meaningful metric of the company's performance, any decline is seriously bad news for Boeing.
The restructuring Airbus has announced is nothing more than a cost-saving measure intended to improve profitability. If one believes the Goldman analysis, simplifying management just adds to the company's already commanding lead in products. It's a relatively easy fix that can produce results fairly quickly.
Boeing has tried to lower its costs as well, but mainly by putting the squeeze on suppliers. This is more difficult to achieve than firing some middle managers. Even if Boeing were to follow Airbus's lead, the impact would be relatively small.
Boeing's choices are more expensive and have larger implications. Can it squeeze enough cost out of its suppliers? Can it afford to develop two new planes? Can it complete the programs in time to be competitive with Airbus? Stay tuned.

State of the Union 2011: Key senators laud Obama 'clean energy' push
Obama's goes much further in setting its target.
He will also likely need help from Energy and Natural Resources Chairman Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.) to survive the Senate but it's unclear if Bingaman is on board.Continue Reading
Bingaman - who unsuccessfully pushed for a bipartisan plan last Congress mandating as much as 15 percent of U.S. power to come from renewable sources by 2021 - has long opposed mixing mandates for solar and wind power with coal and nuclear requirements, and he reiterated that opposition in December when Chu floated the idea.
Since then, he opened a small window for further consideration and is keeping coy.
"I am encouraged by the president's continuing commitment to clean energy," he said in a brief statement. "Congress has a real opportunity to work together on bipartisan legislation to achieve his goals."
Bingaman would consider supporting the mixed mandate so long as it would not stunt development of renewables, but so far has not seen such a bill, spokesman Bill Wicker said Tuesday.
Bingaman will lay out his energy agenda in a lunchtime speech Monday, and will likely address the issue then, Wicker said.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), the ranking member on the Energy panel, left the speech early due to a family emergency. Her spokesman, Robert Dillon, told POLITICO that "the devil is in the details" on a clean energy standard.
"We certainly support the goal of increasing the use of clean energy. But, as with everything, the devil is in the details," he said. "Any policy that requires fuel switching has to be measured against the impact on electricity prices for consumers, especially in these troubled economic times."
The renewable energy industry also would want to make sure they are not shoved aside to make room for nuclear and other sources.
"It is important from a jobs perspective to focus on deploying clean energy sources over the next few years," American Wind Energy Association CEO Denise Bode said. "Wind energy is ready to go now; we don't need to wait nearly three decades."

2015 Conference Championship Games
- Updated: October 19, 2015
The participants have been determined and these pairings should result in three exciting games.
After fourteen weeks of regular season and playoff games only six teams remain, vying for their conference's championship trophy.
Boston Bandits at Western Connecticut Militia
Saturday, October 24 – 7:30pm
Western Connecticut State University's Westside Campus Field
University Boulevard – Danbury, Ct.
The Western Connecticut Militia, who have been eliminated from the playoffs the last three years at the hands of the Connecticut Panthers, have finally turned the tables on their arch-nemesis. After battling back to defeat the Pioneer Valley Knights 20-12 in the Divisional Round, the Militia shutout one of the league's top scoring teams the following week, winning 28-0. By virtue of their 9-1 regular season record (11-1 overall), they'll host the Colonial Conference championship game. It will be the first time the Leo Lombardi Trophy will be awarded in the Nutmeg State since 2011, when the Connecticut Bearcats defeated the Boston Bandits in New Haven. And speaking of the Boston, the Bandits (8-4) upset the North's top two seeds to advance to the title game. Boston lost to the Southern Maine Raging Bulls in their previous four meetings, including the last game at Boston English High, where the Bandits held Southern Maine's potent offense scoreless for over 59 minutes of game time, with the Bulls getting the winning score in the closing seconds. In this season's semifinal, however, Boston was able to keep the North's #1 seed completely scoreless for a full 60 minutes to take the game and punch their ticket the finals. This will be their seventh championship game appearance, and the Bandits are looking to improve on their 4-2 record in the finals. The last title won by Boston was in 2006.
Somerville Rampage at Worcester Wildcats
Saturday, October 24 – 6:30pm
Commerce Bank Field at Foley Stadium
305 Chandler Street – Worcester, Ma
Thanks to three upsets in the North Atlantic Conference playoffs, the AA title game will be played at Foley Stadium in Worcester, also the new site of the league's all-star games. This will be the first conference championship game in its 12th season for the host team, the West's #2 seed, Worcester Wildcats (9-3). Their opponents, the East's #4 seeded Somerville Rampage (8-4), look to get one more upset victory in this year's playoffs. The first-year team won their Divisional Round game with the East #1 seed, New Hampshire Wolfpack (9-1), and their Semifinal Round match-up versus the East's #2 seeded Southern New England Rage.
Northern Berkshire Kings at Port City Vipers
Saturday, October 24 – 2pm
Trinity Stadium
17 Lincoln Avenue – Haverhill, Ma
The Maritime Conference championship game will be played between the Northern Berkshire Kings (7-3) and the Port City Vipers, the league's only remaining undefeated team (10-0). The Vipers allowed just 41 points during the regular season (second best in Single A, behind the Granite State Destroyers 19 points allowed). They held all but one opponent to single-digit scores. The only team during the season to score more than 10 points on Port City… the Berkshire Kings. In the regular season match-up, the only prior meeting for championship teams this year, the Vipers defeated the Kings by only six points, the second slimmest margin of victory for Port City all year. (Vipers defeated the Destroyers in the semifinals by five points.)

How to, and How Not to, Siphon Manually
By Robert T. Ricketts, a.k.a. RTR
Every fish keeper needs to know how to siphon. This is one of the basic techniques in aquarium maintenance. It is second nature to everybody in the hobby, right? Maybe, maybe not. Do you get aquarium water in your mouth? Have you ever pulled the delivery end of the siphon out of the bucket and onto your shoes, the rug, or the hardwood floor? Maybe we should talk for a few minutes. I have done all the above, but eventually I learned how not to do so, and I'm more than willing to share what works for me. Think about it and see if anything here will work for you.
First, you need a siphon. These are commercially available at moderate cost. To have a siphon you really only absolutely require a length of flexible tubing just firm enough not to collapse when full of water and looped over the tank rim. About 1.3cm (0.5") ID (internal diameter) seems to be standard. Smaller diameter tubing would work more slowly in general, and clog more easily. Larger diameter tubing would work faster overall, but faster has as many disadvantages as advantages - floods and spills grow faster also.
Clear is better for me because I like to see what is going through and how fast it is moving. But we want a little more than that. We want a "gravel vacuum" on the business (in-tank, intake) end of the siphon. A gravel vacuum is a section of wider (commonly two inches in diameter) rigid tubing with an adapter coupling down to fit the 1.3cm (0.5") ID flexible tubing at the end. The length of the flexible tubing is not standardized, but for me should be at least eight feet. More on that point later. The rigid tubing that is most often original equipment is about 25.4cm (10") long. This is great for 10, 15, 20 long, 33 XL, tanks etc., all the ~12" high tanks.
It can be used readily in taller tanks as well, but if you wish, longer gravel vacuums are available. I have the standard 10", a 16" and what was originally a 24" gravel vacuum, and one now cut down to ~20". At one point I had one of the 30" tall tanks - big mistake, it was unworkable unless you like wet armpits. I do not (and I do have long arms). That tank went away, the gravel vacuum was cut to 20" and is fine for the 24-25" tanks, but for the smaller of those (30XH, 65), I'm more likely to use the 16" length for easier manipulation. For the big tanks (18-24 inches front to back), the extra length will be useful (but it will be more use with a Python attached than with a simple siphon).
Next you need a bucket, or if you can afford it (both money and storage space) 2-3 buckets. I prefer a Rubbermaid (USA brand name) (Roughneck is the type I have, food and water-safe in most colors). A pouring lip is very handy and for me needed, along with a sturdy bail (handle) - water is heavy. I like 11-19 Litres (3-5 US G.) buckets, but the latter are hefty if anywhere near full. So I use 5s, but fill to 11 Litres (3 US G.). I am clumsy. Internal volume calibration marks are good but not essential. These buckets absolutely must be reserved solely for fish tank use. Mark them in large letters on the outside, and if your cohabitants are not trustworthy, hide them (there is no small trick to concealing a stack of buckets). Soap or detergent residues can be deadly.
Siphon and Bucket[edit]
You now have the basics. There may be other accessories that will make your life simpler, so I'll post a simple list of these:
Carpet protector strip[edit]
These are plastic mats, available from rolls, with relatively skid-resistant surfaces. They are intended to cover carpet along a walkway to be used by movers, workmen, etc. A length greater than your longest tank can be used during tank work (you are a workman here, right?) to protect rugs, carpets, and your relationship with your significant other.
Beach Towel[edit]
This is used to top the plastic strip (above) provided the resulting layers are still securely non-skid (test this before you start work, it matters). If not, spread the towel just beyond the strip, in the path toward the sink/toilet, to "walk off" any water on the soles of your shoes. I store the plastic strip loosely rolled inside a bucket, with the upper surface rolled to the outside to avoid dangerous curls when unrolled for use.
Folding or other utility chair[edit]
Have you ever been vacuuming away on the tank, trying to get that back corner, and run the bucket over? Or pulled the siphon out of the bucket without noticing? I've done both. Finally it got through to me that I cannot rely on myself to keep one eye on the bucket and hose delivery end, while the other is concentrating on the job inside the tank. I am neither a horse nor a chameleon. My eyes and brain don't work that way. I can slow down the siphon's rate of flow by placing the bucket on a folding chair. The rate of flow is directly related to the height differential between the tank water level and that in the bucket. That height differential is called the "head pressure" on the system. Raise the bucket, slow the flow. Lower the bucket, speed the flow. The chair seat height still provides sufficient vacuum for most cleaning purposes. It is especially useful when you want to control the suction for light surface skimming in planted tanks. I cheat even further - I place a hand or finger over the rim of the bucket, so I will feel the water when it gets to my fingertip. Bingo, time to stop vacuuming and change buckets.
Keep a plain utility towel around your neck, over your shoulder, wherever it is immediately at hand. Obvious, I hope.
Ready to Go[edit]
Okay, I've got siphon, towels, plastic strips, buckets and I'm ready to go. Turn off all submerse power to the tank. I use two plug strips per tank (both feeding from a ground fault circuit interrupter, GFCI, of course). One has the lights and their timers on it, while the other has the things I do not want live while I'm working - the filters, heaters, etc. While my hands are still dry, I flip the toggle on that strip. I have instant safety plus no sprays from exposed pumps or blown out heaters. The lights I leave on for working.
To start the siphon, position the receiver bucket where it will be ready, and feed the gravel vacuum end of the siphon into the tank, allowing the air to escape through the flexible tubing. Continue slowly feeding at least about four feet of the flexible tubing into the tank - or the whole tube if you are just developing the technique. The slow feed allows the tubing to fill with tank water. Using you thumb to seal the delivery end of the siphon, lift this end from the tank and to the bottom of the bucket. Release the delivery end of the siphon from your thumb and water should now flow freely into the bucket. You are siphoning, and you did not drink any tank water.
When it is time to change buckets, if you have multiples, stop the flow with your thumb, then move the delivery end of the hose to the next bucket. If you have but one bucket, stop the flow with your thumb again, then move the delivery end back into the tank. Make certain it will not flop out while you are away emptying the bucket. I usually lower the cover glass on it to secure the hose while I'm away, or just feed the whole tube back into the tank.
Finishing Off[edit]
When you have done as much vacuuming, removed as much water as you planned, just lift the intake end out of the tank and allow it to drain into the bucket. Pull the coil in the bucket straight up out of the water, allowing it to drain as well. This avoids slopping that last bit in the hose onto the furniture or the frowning spouse.
If you absolutely insist upon sucking on the hose to start it, the trick is to have a long hose (as suggested earlier). The gravel vacuum should be in the tank as before, at or near the bottom. The flexible hose is over the tank rim, drops to the floor, and is long enough for this scenario to reach from floor back up to the water level of the tank and preferably at least a foot above. If it does not reach that far, cheat by lifting the floor loop up enough to get the delivery end above the water level of the tank - a foot above is good. Now you may, if you must, suck quickly and briefly on the delivery end of the siphon. The water from the tank will be pulled over the rim of the tank and drop toward the floor. Once it is past the water level of the tank the siphon is technically established, but it is conservative to wait for it to pass the middle to the bottom of the tank before you remove your mouth from the tube - this is fast, watch and don't dawdle.
Once the water hits the floor level, cap the delivery end with you thumb. If you wish you can then lessen the pressure on your thumb and bleed out the air in the tube up to the water level of the tank. If you wait too long to cap the delivery end when establishing the siphon, the momentum of the moving water can carry it past the end of the tubing - i.e., you have a brief but messy fountain with no catch basin. By stopping it and then bleeding out the rest of the air, you have killed the momentum and most of the water spill or spray hazard. But the passive fill technique detailed before is much, much better. Tank water is not clean. Don't drink it.
- If the delivery end of the siphon does not meet the bottom of the bucket and curl at least a bit there, your tube is too short. Take the rigid tube only (for a tight matching fit) to the local hardware store and get a longer tube. Do not get a connector or extension. Internal connectors can catch debris, plant leaves, etc. and lead to clogs.

I've found that this pea soup recipe will keep the whole family full and happy. It makes about six servings and has all of the hearty ingredients to fill their bellies and help them relax after a hard day's work. Bacon and peas go together like a horse and carriage and rosemary adds that subtle but distinctive flavor. By the way, rosemary is a really healthy ingredient that is easy to grow. In fact, it's usually growing wild just about everywhere, so if you can't find any on your property, give your neighbors a holler. Get your best deep cast iron skillet on the fryer with your favorite cooking oil and get ready for some mouthwatering home-cooked goodness.
1. Six slices of bacon.
2. One small onion, chopped up.
3. One large carrot, chopped up.
4. One leek, sliced nice and thin.
5. Two large garlic cloves, chopped up.
6. Four cans of your favorite store-bought chicken broth or the equivalent of your homemade kind.
7. One and one-half cups of your homegrown, prize-winning peas.
8. A few dried bay leaves.
9. A handful of freshly picked rosemary.
1. Fry your bacon in the deep skillet until its nice and crispy just the way you like it. I always find that the further apart you lay the pieces, the faster and better they will fry up.
2. Reducing the heat a little and keeping that delicious bacon in the skillet, add your onion, leek, carrot and garlic. Cook these ingredients until they get nice and soft. Remember that the smaller you chop these ingredients before you start, the faster they will cook.
3. Pour in your chicken broth. I find that the most flavorful chicken broth is the homemade variety, but store-bought will work just fine as well.
4. Stir in your homegrown, prize-winning peas, a few bay leaves and the fresh rosemary you swiped from down the road.
5. Bring your soup to a rolling boil for a couple of minutes to really bring out the flavors from the fresh herbs.
6. Reduce your heat to low and let that simmer for a good long while, until your peas are nice and soft. I usually let mine sit there for a complete hour while I clean up my kitchen and set the table.
If your family's mouths aren't watering when they smell this delicious soup cooking on the stove, then you should probably have their taste buds checked. For large families or really healthy eaters, you can easily double this recipe to keep everyone satisfied. And like all good soup recipes, if you find you have something extra growing in the garden you really want to add to it, use your best judgement and go right ahead.

But the good news is this: When you need reliable Raleigh, NC heat pump repairs, the team at Comfort Hounds is as loyal as your best friend and will come running to help.
Give Comfort Hounds a call today or schedule online for the best heat pump repairs in Greater Raleigh!
Do You Know How a Heat Pump Works?
Before calling for heat pump repair, you might be curious to learn how a heat pump actually works. For instance, did you know that a heat pump isn't just for pumping heat? It's true! They cool your home, too. Heat pumps don't actually generate heat. Instead, they transfer it from one place to another. So, in the winter months, a heat pump pulls warmer air in from the outside to heat your home. Then, in summer, it pushes it out—so you stay nice and cool. Pretty nifty, huh? Not only is it nifty, but it's highly efficient and budget-friendly, too!
Do I Need Heat Pump Repair?
Now that you know how a heat pump works, you'll be better tuned in to know when it's not working properly—and when it might need a quick fix! Here are some common issues to alert you that your heat pump might be on a downward spiral and in need of some professional repair:
Too noisy
A good signal that something is off with your heat pump is strange sounds. If you notice any rattling, whistling or humming coming from your system, give us a call for a heat pump repair.
Inconsistent airflow
One of the beautiful things about heat pumps is that they offer consistent heating and cooling throughout your home. If you start feeling hot and cold spots, that is a sure sign that something may be blocking your airflow or the cause of a ducting issue. Give us a ring for a little TLC!
Higher than normal energy bills
If you're seeing your energy bills skyrocket, your heat pump could be failing you. Does it sound like it's working overtime or cycling but not producing your desired temperature? If you're not feeling consistency in your temperatures, it's time for some professional advice.
Faulty reversing valve
Faulty reversing valves are another reason for heat pump repair. Bad valves can cause your system to get stuck in one mode, not allowing the system to switch from heat to cool or vice versa. This prevents your heat pump from providing the proper temperatures and operating efficiently.
Need Heat Pump Repair? We're the Cat's Meow!
When your home is in need of a heat pump or furnace repair, our team is happy to help. With well over 20 years of HVAC experience, our licensed technicians can put your heating worries at ease.

Wearsafe Labs, creator of the wearable panic button for alerting friends and family when you're in danger, is launching an Apple Watch app.
The Watch app will function much like the tag, instantly sharing your GPS location with select contacts and providing an audio stream from the device. There will be a complication and an app on the watch, which you'll be able to tap to send an alert. Like the tag, it will send 60 seconds of buffered audio recorded before the button is pressed, so as to give the receiver more context for your situation.
Read this: Facer's CEO on where smartwatch apps go next
As we discovered in our chat with several companies about building personal safety wearables, context is one of the biggest challenges in emergency situations, as the person on the receiving end - whether it's a friend or a member of the emergency services - has to piece together a picture of what is happening, often from very little information.
There's also the problem of false alarms, and Wearsafe says its app will have a five-second countdown so you can cancel an alert that's been triggered accidentally.
The downside, of course, is battery life. Dedicated panic buttons are built to last a long time, often months to years; the Apple Watch might get you a day and a half. So it's not as reliable, but the upside is that it's one less thing to carry on your person if you're already wearing Apple's smartwatch on a daily basis.
The Watch will also need to be paired with your iPhone to work (until Apple launches the rumored LTE Apple Watch). Another nifty feature of Wearsafe is that it opens a group chat for your chosen contacts so they can talk to one another and work together on helping you out. Once you've sent an alert you'll get a small vibration to let you know your distress call has been received. You'll then get further vibrations to signify that people in your help network have viewed the alert. This feedback needs to be discreet, as you might be in a situation where you don't want to give away the fact you've called for help.
To use the app you'll need a Wearsafe subscription, and those start at $5 a month. Wearsafe is also sweetening the deal by throwing in a free tag unit for new subscribers.

What We Thought:
Rupa was born in India but came to Glasgow as a tiny child. She has faint memories of her grandmother, Takri, 'the only person who remembered the date I was born,' but she grew up closer to Baba Kam – otherwise knows as Karam Singh – her mother's childhood friend who fled India after the Amritsar Massacre in 1919.
Now, as a middle-aged woman she begins a search for the real story of Karam Singh, Basant Singh, her grandfather, and Takri, 'the woman who loved them both.'
The story shifts back and forth through the history of India – and the Punjab in particular – in the first half of the Twentieth Century, from the traditions and restrictions of life at the turn of the century, through the struggles for independence, to the beginnings of an independent nation. On the way, we spend time in the villages of rural Punjab, at the Golden Temple at Amritsar, among the dancers and prostitutes behind the Friday Mosque in Delhi, and in the Glasgow tenements where the first south Asian immigrants crowded together.
Karam and Takri are both in their way fighters. Karam goes to prison for his actions against the British colonial government. Takri is one of the first to take up the Ghandi's challenge to reject imported cloth and to start making her own 'homespun'. Basant is a gentler character, wanting only to care from his own family. But links between the three of them prove stronger than either tragedy or betrayal.
Finding Takri has at its heart a complex and tender love triangle, one that mixes friendship, loyalty, duty and the desire for independence. A revealing glimpse of a slice of Indian history, based loosely on the author's family's own journey from Punjab to Glasgow.

What are savings goals and how do I create one?
Set, save and track
Set up a savings goal in the Barclays app and track your progress.
Whether you're putting some money aside for a holiday, home improvements or a rainy day, setting a goal could help you reach your target faster. If you've already got a Help to Buy: ISA, Everyday Saver, Rainy Day Saver, Blue Rewards Saver or Instant Cash ISA, you can link our 'Savings goal' feature to your savings account. If you don't have one of these accounts yet, you can open one and then create your goal. For Help to Buy: ISAs, you'll need to already have an account, as they're closed for new savers. We've also got some savings tips to help you stay on track.
Set up a savings goal in the Barclays app
Set up your savings goal
Get started in four easy steps
1. Choose a category
There's a range of categories to choose from, such as 'holiday' or 'home'. Simply choose the one that best suits your goal.
2. Name your goal
Giving your goal a name will make it more meaningful to you, such as 'Bali holiday'. This name will appear in your list of accounts when you log in to the Barclays app.
3. Choose a target amount
Simply enter the amount you want to save.
4. Set an optional target date
Having a timeline is optional, but if you set a date, we can work out how much you'll need to save on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
That's it – your savings goal will be set up.
Track your progress
Once you've set up your goal, use our personalised tracker to monitor your progress – if you've set a target date, you can see how much you've saved and how long you've got left to reach your savings goal. Just click on the account your goal is linked to and you'll see the tracker. If you need to change your goal, you can easily update the amount, target date or even delete it if you no longer need it.
Watch our video for a step-by-step guide to creating and managing your savings goals
How to stay on track
Need a little help to reach your savings goal? We've got some tips that could help.
Set simple milestones
Saving up enough money for a house deposit or large purchase could be easier if you break it up into smaller targets. Think of them as milestones on the way to your goal. You can also set up a regular payment to your account, so you don't have to think about topping up your savings.
Stay focused
It takes a fair bit of motivation to regularly save money. So help yourself out by writing down your goals and putting them somewhere you'll see them often. Also make sure your goals are realistic for the amount of money you have left after essential spending – we've got tips, tools and guides below that could help.
Treat yourself
Saving up for something usually means cutting back your spending on non-essentials. While you want to stay disciplined, it's important to have some fun and treat yourself for sticking to your savings plan.
Make changes to your account
You can name each of your accounts to match whatever you're saving for. You can also hide your accounts to stop yourself feeling tempted to spend or switch to a suitable account that limits your access.

Taylor Swift is offering her new album Midnights to fans in various colors of limited-edition vinyl, but she's just added a new color to the mix.
Taylor went on TikTok for another edition of her ongoing series "Midnights Mayhem with Me," during which she reveals the names of the songs on the album by spinning a bunch of ping pong balls in a bingo cage and pulling numbers out at random.
Last night, Taylor chose #2 and revealed that track number two on the album is called "Maroon." Does Adam Levine know about this?
"Maroon" joins previous track titles "Midnight Rain," "Question…?," "Vigilante S**t" and "Mastermind." The album arrives October 21.

Today we bought long balloons to make animals. I followed the directions, but was never successful in making any of the animals look like the ones in the picture.
Nola and Kira went to work making their own village of characters and asked to make a tutorial that works better than the instructions in the book. Here it is - in Nola's own words.
How to Make Balloon People - Narrated by Nola (age 4 3/4)
Step 1: Pump the balloon up - almost half way. But not all the way to the end. And tie a knot right at the end so the air doesn't come out. If you are not yet 4, have your Mummy tie it. If you are 4 you can do it yourself.
Step 2: Twist the balloon to make a head. Take the the uninflated part and tie it around the twisted part. Pull the uninflated bit down to make a nose.
Step 3: Tie a knot at the neck so the nose pokes out. Don't make the nose too long. You want it straight out and not hanging down.
Step 4: Make the floaty out of another balloon. Inflate it a little bit and tie it around the person.
(Note from Kira: Don't use too many balloons for the floaty because you'll use most of your balloons and won't have enough left to make all the people.)
Step 5: Put the mouth, eyes and nose on the person. If you are over 4 or 4 you can do it with a Sharpie. If you are under 4 let your Mummy draw eyes and mouth and nose for you.
Step 6: Scribble the hair.
Here is my finished person. It is called Flower Baby.
If you want to you can play, play, play with them...

With the continuous improvement of living standards, the pace of global infrastructure construction has gradually accelerated in recent years. Over the past few decades, China has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the fields of housing construction, roads, bridges, airports and railways. Among them, welding engineering is a very important part of construction site. The processing of a large number of profiles, plates and steel bars is inseparable from welding. Among them, a very important module in steel bar docking technology is electroslag pressure welding.
The application of vertical steel bar electroslag force welding technology has replaced the original method of lap bonding and manual electric isolation welding. The application of this technology can guarantee the construction quality, reduce the project cost, speed up the project progress, and reduce the workers. Therefore, the vertical steel bar electroslag force welding has a good effect of labor intensity under the current large-scale adoption of engineering construction, and the process operation is simple and easy grasp.
Electroslag pressure welding is a method of melting the flux by using the electric sol formed between the ends of the welded steel bars to obtain a high-temperature molten slag of more than 2000 degrees. Detailed process: Connect the circuit to produce electric and then the surrounding flux and steel bar ends quickly melt to form a slag pool. The temperature of the electric slag pool is about 1500-2000 degrees. When the ends of the upper and lower steel bars melt to a certain procedure, the nearby steel bars also reach a thermoplastic state. At this time, the handle is turned immediately to make the upper bars suddenly fall, and all the molten slag and liquid metal are squeezed out of the slag pool, forming a convex light Welded joint.
After years of hard work, punair is very popular in the welding field in China. When you visit the construction site, you can easily see the punair welding and cutting machines in the steel processing shed.This year,our welding machines are used for the construction of Huoshensan hospital instance-an emergency specialty field hospitalconstructed from 23 January 2020 to 2 February 2020 in response to the 2019-20 coronavirus pamdemic-as a contribution to our epidemic prevention.Generally speaking,it plays an important role in improving engineering efficiency, ensuring construction period, and quality control.The qulity and core concept has won us waves of praise and customers.

Hiring a trained professional to sell your home can seem obsolete. There are a lot of people that believe it is smart to exclude the middleman and just do the entire thing directly. While this may seem like a good idea (and in some cases it is), there are situations that can arise that are not easy to handle. The biggest motivation for avoiding trained real-estate professionals is to save money on commission and that is a valid point, but in some cases people end up losing more money without the middleman involved. This happens because sellers take the whole project rather lightly. The vocation of a real-estate agent wouldn't be around if people could do the job themselves.
Not everyone has the necessary skills or personality to deal with the complicated situation of negotiating, putting together a contract and that's why, if you feel that you have bitten more than you can swallow at any point during the whole process, you should immediately consult a professional. It is always better to be safe than sorry, especially in situations where there are a lot of things at stake and selling your home is never a thing to be trifled with.
Time and accessibility
Selling a house or an apartment can become a very complicated thing if you have a job (and we hope you do), since the amount of time you can spend showing your place to potential buyers is limited. Of course you can do this on your days off but this will unnecessarily prolong the whole process and you might lose a lot of potential buyers. This may also lead to you running from work back home to show it to someone. They may end up waiting for you (or leaving) or never showing up at all. This will certainly annoy you and you may end up not being polite to the next one that comes along, thus pushing them away.
On the other hand, a professional will always be available and he or she will present your home in the best light possible. He or she will always be polite and deal with all potential buyers for you – schedule and arrange everything.
The professional approach
Direct contact between the buyer and the seller can sometimes become complicated due to the fact that they are both biased (they both want the best deal possible). This can sometimes lead to unnecessary hostility between the two sides. It is not uncommon to run into people that just simply irritate you. This can be a major problem.
A good real-estate agent will always be polite, professional, helpful and will also keep your interest in mind. He or she will not get personal and will treat everyone like a potential business partner. There are techniques that agents use to in order to pull more potential customers and keep the buyers happy. They will, for example, give away free promotional products since gifts always make customers happy. They can give away key chains since they are appropriate for the business in question, or something fun like stress balls.
Negotiation and the contract
Real-estate agents are basically salesmen. This means they have a lot of experience with bargaining and negotiating. When the seller and the buyer negotiate, this sometimes turns into a shouting match. A professional can decline an offer without offending the buyer and thus keep the game going. They are also perfectly capable of making or reviewing a contract for you. This is very important since it is not an uncommon occurrence to sign a contract where you get robbed (metaphorically speaking).
Final thoughts
Selling your house is a serious matter and you should take it seriously. If you want to do it alone, you should be prepared for everything that might come your way and do your research diligently. By doing a poor job as salesman you can create a lot of problem for yourself and lose money. I'm not saying you shouldn't even try but, as soon as you hit a bump on the road, seek professional advice. A mistake here can cost you a great deal of money.

Universal Pictures was a champion of horror in the 1930s and 40s, building a rogue gallery of creeps known as the Universal Monsters. Universal is rebooting these classic horror films, and has announced plans to construct a shared universe via filmmakers Alex Kurtzman and Chris Morgan. The first, Kurtzman's The Mummy starring Tom Cruise and Sofia Boutella, debuts in June of 2017. In anticipation, we've been revisiting Universal's supernatural antagonists. Last week, we discussed the most famous bloodsucker of all, Count Dracula. Today, we discuss a tragic monster who never asked to be born into the society that would revile him: Frankenstein.
English author Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley published Frankenstein in 1818 when she was just 20. It was the result of an impromptu horror competition she engaged in with poet Percy Bysshe Shelly (whom she would later marry), the poet Lord Byron, and physician John Polidori while vacationing in Lake Geneva, Switzerland.
Shelley submitted for the approval of this 19th century midnight society a tale of a scientist who dared to play God, then was horrified by his own creation. The CliffsNotes: Victor Frankenstein, deeply affected by his mother's death, desires to create life from nothing. He builds a creature out of materials sourced from the "dissecting room and the slaughterhouse" then brings it to life. Frankenstein is appalled by his monster's ghastly appearance and abandons him. The forlorn Creature learns to talk and read, but is unable to acclimate to society because of his looks. He tracks Frankenstein down and asks him to build him a companion. When Frankenstein ultimately refuses, his Creature destroys everyone Frankenstein love, including his girlfriend, Elizabeth.
Though there were earlier film adaptations of Shelley's gothic tale of hubris and woe, it was Universal's 1931 blockbuster, directed by James Whale, that made Frankenstein a household nameâalbeit a misused one. Shelley never named The Creature at all, yet "Frankenstein" has evolved to refer to both the man and his monster.
Universal had based their wildly successful Dracula, released earlier in 1931, on a popular stage play by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston. Similarly, they decided to base their Frankenstein on a stage play written by Peggy Webling. Webling had written the play at the behest of Deane, though her story was much different than Shelley's. After briefly considering Dracula star Bela Lugosi, the studio ultimately selected English actor Boris Karloff to play the Creature. Colin Clive took on the role of Dr. Frankenstein, whose first name was changed from Victor to Henry.
Universal is responsible for much of the iconography we associate with Frankenstein today. It was Universal makeup artist Jack Pierce who gave the monster a flat head, heavy brow, and bolts jutting out of his neck. Shelley's monster had flowing black tresses and no bolts. Shelley's monster was well-spoken, but Karloff expertly conveyed the monster's emotions with grunts. Universal also changed how we perceived the monster's creation. Shelley's Frankenstein worked alone and used an ambiguous "spark of life" to awaken his monster. Universal gave the doctor a hunchbacked assistant, actor Dwight Frye's Fritz, who helps him loot the local cemetery for body parts. They, too, gave us the now iconic scene in which a storm generates enough lightning to awaken the creature in the doctor's basement lab. "It's alive, It's alive!" Frankenstein howls, one of cinema's most memorable lines.
This Creature is warmly welcomed by Frankenstein in the movie, but becomes aggressive when Fritz torments him with a torch. The Creature kills Fritz as well as Frankenstein's associate, Dr. Waldman, and escapes the lab. He befriends a young girl near a pond, but finds himself unable to understand how humans work. In a truly horrific moment, he tosses the girl into the pond assuming she, like the flowers she's been flinging into the water, will float. She doesn't. Her death riles up the locals who form the quintessential angry mob, armed with torches, and hunt the Creature down. In the finale, the Creature attacks but does not kill Frankenstein's beloved Elizabeth before the mob traps the Creature inside a burning windmill.
The film was so commercially and critically successful that Universal launched a sequel, The Bride of Frankenstein (1935). This film begins with Mary Shelley (played by Elsa Lanchester) telling Percy Shelley and Lord Byron that there's more to her storyâodd because the Universal story, of course, only resembled Shelley's novel in its foundation.
The Bride of Frankenstein then reveals that the Creature survived the fiery climax of the previous film. The Creature recruits Dr. Pretorius (Ernest Thesiger), who forces Frankenstein to help him create a bride for the Creature. However, the Bride (also played by Lanchester) finds the Creature just as loathsome as everyone else, leading to the Creature's decision to spare Frankenstein and Elizabeth, but collapse the lab on himself, his Bride and Pretorius. Notably, the Bride's giant hair with twin white streaks would go on to become the most iconic depiction of the bride, as Shelley's Frankenstein refused to create her.
Karloff would go on to star in numerous horror films throughout his long career, but his last appearance as the monster was in 1939's Son of Frankenstein. The monster himself emerged many more timesânot just in Universal sequels, but in countless other incarnations as well. Abbot and Costello met the Creature in 1948. Hammer Films produced several Frankenstein films in the 1950s and '60s, as they had done with Dracula. Sir Kenneth Branagh directed 1994's Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, in which Robert De Niro played the Creature. Though the film followed Shelley's text more closely than Universal's film, it was not as well-received by critics. (Universal's Frankenstein, even today, maintains a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and was added to the National Film Registry in 1991.)
The 1960s sit-com The Munsters feature a Karloff-inspired monster, Herman Munster, who marries Dracula's daughter Lily, with whom he has a werewolf son. Blaxploitation got into Frankenstein in 1973 with Blackenstein, while Mel Brooks took a shot at the work in the celebrated parody Young Frankenstein, starring Gene Wilder as Frankenstein's grandson and Peter Boyle as his monster. The Creature shows up again in the '80s comedy Monster Squad, this time as a hero who fights against Dracula and the other Universal monsters. He's also a hero in the fantastical I, Frankenstein, in which he's played by Aaron Eckhart and is actually pretty handsome for someone fused from various body parts. Numerous other properties have built upon the idea of a mad scientist crafting a creature, including cult rock opera The Rocky Horror Picture Show and '80s comedy Weird Science. In both, the "creature" turns out to be very attractive.
Throughout it all, Frankenstein remains one of the most complex terrors of cinema. He's not inherently evil, like Dracula, and he lumbers sorrowfully between two worlds while belonging to neither. It'll be interesting to see how Universal reboots horror's most famous monster, two centuries after his birth. Rumor has it they've already approached to actor Javier Bardem to star.

I think that people might find symbolism even if the author does not want them to look for it. Tolkien insisted that The Lord of the Rings was not allegorical. I guess the question is whether or not authors have a right to say what the book means.
I actually beg to differ. Some would argue that it is impossible to view the world without acknowledging the place of symbolism in it. Whatever the author's intentions, it is possible to look at and examine a piece of literature in a way that the author would never have imagined or dreamed of. Consider the frankly rather sexual analysis of works such as Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights, which were written by Victorian single women whose knowledge of sex was (we assume) rather limited. Thus, although we must take into account Hemingway's own ideas about his work, we can be free to discount them if we feel we can support our conclusions about his work.
It's always great to read what poets and authors say about their own work. This quote sounds just like Hemingway, and it's this same no-nonsense approach we find in this novella. This is just a guy, alone at sea, hungry and wounded, fighting a big fish. That's it--no symbols or other literary "junk." It's the simple story of how one man was able to persevere in spite of all those things going against him. We see him do it and we should be inspired that we'll be able to do the next hard thing that comes our way.
Ernest Hemingway wrote "The Old Man and the Sea" after suffering much criticism from his previous book, "Across the River and Into the Trees". Hemingway was deeply wounded by the critics and writing "The Old Man and the Sea" was his response to them. However, taking his cue from Mark Twain in "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", he blunted any possible criticism from the critics by saying there was no symbolism in the novella. One hundred years earlier, in a book Hemingway called "the first modern American novel", Mark Twain did the same thing in "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn".
"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" begins with the preface, " PERSONS attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.
BY ORDER OF THE AUTHOR, Per G.G., Chief of Ordnance.
By including a disclaimer in his novel like Twain, Hemingway was insulating himself from those literary critics who had wounded him so deeply after the publication of "Across the River and Into the Trees". Of course, there is symbolism and allegory in the novel. The fish is obviously his previous novel and the sharks are the literary critics who "ate up" what Hemingway thought was a masterpiece. Hemingway won the Nobel Prize for literature based on this book. It was his way of "defending the title" of the greatest American writer of the 20th century. And, in retrospect, he probably won that title, in spite of his so-called protestations that there is no symbolism.
Hemingway was a straight-forward man. He was masculine and active. He didn't like being clever-clever about literature.
Some books are allegorical. In other words there is a subtext. Even though it is not said, some books use one story to tell another. So you hear lecturers say, "The River" can be interpreted as "The Mind," "The Trees" could be "Fear" or "The Bad Weather" is "Austria's invasion of Serbia," etc. Perhaps the best known allegory is Animal Farm, a story of animals which is actually a retelling of The Russian Revolution.
Hemingway is saying there is no "second layer" in The Old Man and The Sea. The shark is not a symbol for "Death" or "Love" or "War". The old man is not "Time" or "Eveybody". He is just an old fisherman; his simple story is interesting without any interpretation. He is what he is, nothing more.
This quote expresses Hemingway's sense that trying to move below the surface of things, to "add" meaning to things (such as old men, fish, boys and sharks) was not his purpose, but rather what readers have added to his work. Hemingway didn't want to know what life meant; he just wanted to know how to live in it, how to behave with honor, and thus make your own meaning. We have in The Old Man and the Sea the struggles of an old man against a shark. Winning (understanding) is not the end; behaving honorably, both as a fisherman and as a shark, are what determining meaning, and are ends in themselves. Since life will never make any sense, there's only behavior to judge ourselves by. (I think there's some hints of Camus here, but I'd have to work that out --- and it's never safe to take what authors say about their works at face value.)

This year's rookie talent show will feature 2021 first-round draft pick Jalen Johnson and 2021 second-round draft pick Sharife Cooper. Special appearances also will be made by second-year player Onyeka Okongwu and two-way guard Skylar Mays.

The new sixth Transformers movie, Bumblebee, takes on new designs inspired by the original toys, along with a new director. This movie is based in the 80's where the popularity of the toys and cartoon series Transformers all started. This time, director Michael Bay steps down, making this movie possibly the first of a new direction for the Transformers movie series.
Many new features to the movie have fans excited. Such as, the transformers look more simplified, colorful, with less moving parts as its predecessors. Not since the first Transformers movie have we seen this kind of CGI. Many people also know Michael Bay for being over the top, and this movie may take us back to the basics. Transformers looking like toys, and being the focus of the movie.

Imagine trying to get to school each morning without shoes, or with shoes that don't fit. Maybe you have to wear the same clothes day after day because they are the only ones you have. Thousands of kids across Maricopa County don't have to imagine that experience of being without clothes or shoes; they face it every day along with many other obstacles that impact their ability to go to school.
Thanks to the Assistance League of Phoenix, with support provided by Maricopa County Human Services Department, several thousand children were able to go to their classrooms this spring wearing new shoes, new clothing and with other items they needed to help them achieve success in school.
From January through March 2022, the Assistance League of Phoenix was able to provide two full new outfits, including shoes and backpacks filled with school supplies, to 3,998 kids at no cost to their families. The program, federally funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), was part of $14 million in grants allocated by the Human Services Department to 82 nonprofits serving residents throughout the region.
While the new clothes, shoes and backpacks may not solve the greater challenges the children face, they do remove one barrier for the kids to have the opportunity to learn, grow, and experience life with confidence as part of a school community. It is one of the many ways that the caring staff of Maricopa County Human Services Department and its trusted community partners are making a meaningful difference in the lives of county residents.

The Information Disorder Update: November 5, 2018
Amid warnings of a looming civil war and an immigrant "invasion" from Central America, the 2018 midterm campaign has thrived on hyperbole and misinformation that have become weapons in an online battlefield.
In this digital warfare, the angriest, most extreme voices have dominated the political arena. Finally, on the eve of the midterm election, the online vitriol has morphed into violence including pipe bombs mailed to perceived foes and a massacre in a Pittsburgh synagogue.
The Information Disorder Lab team has monitored this uncivil internet conversation for six months, with a focus on the midterm campaign. We've seen a significant volume of outright fabrication on social media and websites. But our research team has seen an even greater share of misleading information — content that can claim a tenuous connection to fact but is twisted or manipulated, either innocently or intentionally.
Beyond those straightforward forms of mis- and disinformation, we've seen less obvious but equally dangerous problems: online hate and fear. These are also cases of information disorder; they use and abuse emotions to polarize and demonize.
During this campaign season, the major social media platforms have begun to respond more aggressively to confront these challenges. Twitter and Facebook have removed millions of fake and "inauthentic" accounts. Facebook created a war-room to monitor and act against disinformation. YouTube removed conspiracy theorists including Alex Jones and Mike Adams. Gab was shut down, at least briefly. This showdown is certain to intensify as we turn instantly from the midterms to the 2020 presidential campaign.
While the platforms have taken action against some Russian and Iranian, it's clear to us that a significant proportion of disinformation infecting U.S. platforms is domestic, with Americans targeting Americans. Solutions will have to be homegrown.
Here's a sketch of the key trends we have documented:
Race and religion provided ammunition for online hatemongers.
- Muslim candidates have run in unprecedented numbers in the 2018 midterms — and some have been pelted with misinformation. Twitter users accused Ilhan Omar, a Democrat running for Congress in Michigan, of following Sharia Law and marrying her brother, among other groundless allegations. Other candidates such as Rashida Tlaib have been judged guilty by association with Islamic organizations or other Muslims such as activist Linda Sarsour. California candidate Campa-Najjar was said to have terrorist links because his grandfather had helped stage the Munich terror attack against Israeli athletes in 1972. In fact, the grandfather died 16 years before Campa-Najjar was born in San Diego.
- The Pittsburgh synagogue attacker left a long trail of anti-Semitic rants on Gab, and the poison didn't end with the mass shooting. The shooter's supporters took to the internet, lauding the suspect with the hashtag #HeroRobertBowers. Several users continued to "upvote" Bowers' final post until Gab was shut down (it came back online Nov. 5). Anti-Semitic abuse has surged during the campaign, much of it aimed at billionaire activist George Soros. It persisted throughout the week after the attack; a 4chan user called for genocide against "Jews, the greatest evil the world has ever known."
- Racist social media posts even exploited Halloween, with anonymous users on 4chan sharing instructions on how to make "It's Okay to be White" memes designed to provoke media coverage amplifying the idea. Black candidates drew disparaging racist tweets — a tweet derided California Rep. Maxine Waters as "low IQ." echoing a tweet from President Trump in June. African-American gubernatorial candidates Stacey Abrams in Georgia and Andrew Gillum in Florida were falsely labeled socialist or communist, such as in this manipulated image.
Misinformation often preyed on emotions, reinforcing the findings of researchers that the more extreme the sentiment, the more likely a social media post is to provoke fear or anger — and the more likely it is to whip up more online traffic.
- The principal target for fearmongers' disinformation was illegal immigration. Social media language embraced military terms, with a growing emphasis on threats of "invasion," according to one post that was retweeted nearly 5,000 times. Militia groups at the U.S. border told the IDLab they were appealing for volunteers to help the border police combat the approaching Central American migrants, whom they claimed numbered more than 40,000 — ten times the number estimated by Mexican authorities. A YouTube video making a similar claim drew 4,800 views.
- The immigrant fears aligned with a broader confrontational theme pushed by far-right conspiracy theorists that another civil war is looming in the United States. This became a coordinated campaign waged by Mike Adams, founder of the much-criticized Natural News website. Adams used a network of similar far-right sites to spread several articles warning of civil war, and he made a video promoting the idea that was viewed more than 50,000 times on Brighteon, a fringe alternative to YouTube.
- As the midterm voting approached, heated social media battles swirled over the integrity of the election itself. Democrats and their online supporters accused Republican state officials, sometimes inaccurately, of conducting coordinated voter purges that eliminated millions of voters from the rolls, many of them people of color. For their part, Republicans raised allegations of potential serious fraud in the form of votes by vast numbers of undocumented immigrants — despite the absence of any evidence of significant voter fraud. Some social media versions of these arguments dispensed with nuance and context, contributing to a climate of mistrust.
- As early voting began in many states, disinformation emerged about the voting process itself. A Facebook group called The Deplorables insisted that George Soros remove his voting machines from states. (He has none). The post had 15,000 shares.
Alleged conspiracies took on energy online, usually without a shred of evidence but sometimes tied to a grain of fact:
- The long-simmering QAnon conspiracy movement leaped into the mainstream media at a rally by President Trump on July 31; beforehand, participants on 4chan had organized together to make and sell t-shirts for those who planned to attend the rally. Major media organizations then piled onto the story, generating front-page coverage for what had been a fringe far-right movement.
- Soros became the target of several major conspiratorial themes, many of them anti-Semitic: he was falsely said to have funded the legal costs of Christine Blasey Ford in the Kavanaugh hearings; he was falsely alleged to be behind the protesters in the elevator who accosted Sen. Jeff Flake (they worked for a non-profit that gets some funding from his foundation); he was falsely said to have financed the Central American caravan; and he was accused of being the largest donor to Democrat Beto O'Rourke in Texas. Groups including the Anti-Defamation League said the wave of online attacks on Soros threatened to inflame anti-Semitism in the country; Soros was among those who received mailed pipe bombs from a man who left a trail of angry, conspiracy-laden social media posts.
Amid this grim social media torrent, there also was an element of humor, even if often barbed and built on falsehoods. Manipulated and fabricated memes surged throughout the midterm race.
- NPC's, or non-playable characters, became a staple of the right to portray liberals as easily manipulated. Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' Infowars website promoted a contest for the best meme "capable of reflecting the Left's robotic and predictable nature, with a humorous twist." Twitter banned hundreds of accounts with NPC avatars that were tweeting false information about the midterm elections.
- The Brett Kavanaugh hearings generated memes poking fun not only of Kavanaugh and his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, but at spinoff themes such as beer-drinking.
- A fabricated interview portraying New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as inept drew more than 1.5 million video views in one day.
Recycled Content
- Numerous examples of misinforming content appear when old images, stories and videos are recycled as if they are current. When the critical temporal context is omitted, confusion is likely. This tactic is pervasive and powerful. When a user sees a story that resonates because of current events they can aggressively share it without reflecting on the timestamp. In many cases the original information was or is true, but is not relevant today. In other cases, old false memes or ideas re-appear despite having been previously debunked.
False Connection
False connections that inaccurately link people and ideas abound on social media. These connections are created directly when falsely attributing a quote to a person, through innuendo, when an open ended question is asked ("Soros?"), and through images, when something a photograph is falsely associated with a location or moment.
- Meme Implying Quote From NJ Governor
- Rep. Gaetz Questioning Source Of Caravan Cash, "Soros?"
- Homeless Image Falsely Located In SF
Once the votes are tallied and attention turns to the outcomes of the midterm elections, the IDLab will assess the patterns in information disorder that emerged in the 2018 voting. We welcome your thoughts and tips as we deconstruct how information was weaponized in this election to better understand how to monitor and investigate the phenomenon in the lead-up to 2020.

Your opinion is important to us.

Please take a minute to post your comments.
Describe the key elements of the accommodations : decor, hospitality, value, housekeeping, setting, and/or meals. What were the highlights of your stay? A comfortable bed and elegant decor? The convenient location? The delicious breakfasts and afternoon snacks? The hospitality of the innkeepers? Extra amenities and/or advice for business or vacation travel? If in the area again, would you return? Recommend to friends?
Be both honest and fair : We feature various types of accommodation - some more luxurious than others ... Criteria of charm vary from person to person
We offer a wide selection of quality guesthouses for all tastes and budgets
It is not fair to compare a guesthouse that charges €75 a night with a nearby property that charges double or triple that rate.
Things can go wrong in the best of guesthouses, and the difference between an average place and a great one is how the innkeepers address the problem when something unexpected occurs.
Avoid hyperbole : Reviews that include only effusive praise or complete condemnation are rarely helpful or even credible.
Innkeeper responses : There are at least two sides to every story (often three!). The reviews posted on the Charming Guest Rooms website are taken seriously by innkeepers.
We reserve the right for innkeepers to respond to any review.
. To write a review, you must have stayed in the guesthouse
