Another year has passed and apparently the world has not been put to an end by the hands (claws?) of a certain Link Joker archetype. At least not yet, because here we are with yet another update of Cardifght!! Vanguard: Stride to Victory!
We are now left with less than two weeks to the official release date, and there is no telling how many of these updates we have left. Time may be dwindling, but let us get started right away!
Continuing from where we had last left off, let's us continue with information related to the story. In my previous updates, I included my own predictions as to what may be featured in the gameplay. As not every single detail about the story has been released, I would have to leave some portions for the next update.
In addition, I apologise if it seems that I am being repetitive. But for now, let's see what we have!
As previously mentioned, this game will contain two stories: the Vanguard-G side focusing on Chrono and the new generation, and the Vanguard side focusing on Aichi and his good mates. On the Vanguard-G side, the player will embark on a journey with Chrono and his team to conquer the national championships. On the Vanguard side, it will focus on the festival that is being held in the town Aichi lives in.
On the Vanguard-G side, I have already mentioned previously how the story would open. For this update, let us focus on the returning and additional features of game play.
When you think of Vanguard-G, you think of quests! In Stride to Victory, quests play a vital part to the story.
Missions will be carried over from Lock on Victory, however it will be integrated as one type of quest. Other types of quests include quizzes and fights.
When you complete quests, you earn points to grade up on your FICA. Collecting enough points is essential for the story to progress!
Following these, we have the additional features that would make your experience with the game much enjoyable.
Similar to Lock to Victory, Stride to Victory will also include an "easy" mode. However, it does not make your fights any less challenging. What differs in "easy" mode is the number of times you get to mulligan for your ideal hand. As per any usual fight, you get to return as many cards as you like from your first hand to your deck, shuffle it, and redraw as many cards as you have sent back. However, in "easy" mode, you can do this more than once, up to ten times. However, each time you do so, you will lose Vanguard Points, so you may want to reconsider performing extra mulligans.
As mentioned long ago, you can also change how you want your protagonist to begin the match! Select between "Stand up! Vanguard" and "Stand up! The/My/Le Vanguard", whichever suits your fancy!
And as previously predicted, you will be able to earn extra Vanguard Points if you successfully pull off a final turn. Simply open the menu during your fight and select the "FT" button to make a final turn declaration!
Previously in Lock on Victory, players can fight with other players over the internet or over a local connection. This can also be done on Stride to Victory. In addition, you can earn CP and get cards by fighting with other players. I have only tried this once or twice on Lock on Victory so I am not too sure if this is actually a new feature.
We have come to the end of a very brief update for the Stride to Victory game. There will be at least one more update regarding the Vanguard side of the story but until then, on behalf of everyone here at Crossbone Vanguards, I wish all of you a great year ahead!
Happy fighting!

Kansas Wants To Stigmatize Welfare Recipients
A controversial piece of legislation in Kansas has arrived at the desk of Gov. Sam Brownback that would essentially ban those on Kansas state welfare from recreational activities. If signed into law by Brownback, who is expected to do so this week, House Bill 2258 will place restrictions on how the poor spend the money they get from governmental assistance programs.
The bill was passed last week with support from the Republican-controlled House and Senate, CNN reported. Among the activities that those receiving welfare are restricted from are swimming, watching movies, visiting spas or psychics, buying lingerie or tobacco, acquiring body piercings or tattoos, and going on cruise vacations. Wichita Republican Sen. Michael O'Donnell, who led the charge pushing for the bill, said it was designed to encourage responsible spending of public assistance and to mold the state's social support system into one that pushed individuals into employment.
We're trying to make sure those benefits are used the way they were intended. This is about prosperity. This is about having a great life.
But the bill is cruel in many ways. Democrat Rep. Carolyn Bridges opposed the bill, and said during the House debate that it sent a disheartening message to Kansas' poor that their personal choices were subject to state restrictions simply because they needed the government's help:
I just think we are simply saying to people, "If you are asking for assistance in this state, you're sort of less than other people and we're going to tell you how and where to spend."
Being on welfare is no walk in the park, and the restrictions will surely make life even tougher for those already struggling to get by. House Bill 2258 also perpetuates the erroneous belief that poor people are spending their money on luxury goods instead of looking for jobs, further tainting an already stigmatized group. Liz Schott, of the Center on Policy and Budget Priorities, told The Daily Beast:
This is not about a real problem, this is not a public policy decision. This is all about politics and creating a wrong impression that public welfare recipients can't spend their money wisely.
The legislation also limits Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) recipients from withdrawing more than $25 a day from ATMs. According to The Daily Beast, many, if not most TANF recipients do not have a bank account, and the $25 limit — $20, actually, if one takes into consideration that most ATMs don't give out $5 bills, not to mention the 85 cents service fee TANF attaches — renders it pretty much impossible for them to pay rent or bills. Schott told the media website:
This is not based on any understanding of the daily reality of making ends meet on these inadequate benefits.
If signed by Brownback, the law will go into effect on July 1.

Okay. So my hypothesis on hosiery goes that you don't actually lose socks in the washing machine, you just get one extra every once in a while. Free socks, yay!
But. Consider this: if you suddenly have an odd sock appear in this realm, it must go missing in another one. (It's socks physics, I don't want to bore you here with science.)
Point being: somewhere there's a realm of missing socks... [cue intro]

OK. I think headache is my only true side effect so far. And maybe a little bit of... impulsiveness, maybe.
Headache is starting to get to me - I don't have them all that frequently so when I do they bother me. Which is odd, because I have learned to live with body pain all the time and you would think that I could handle this, too. But it is different, and the headache is starting to make me forget what I am doing or just kind of space out mid-task. I hate that. Happens on *really* bad pain days, too, like when I can't focus on anything but my legs and no other thought or idea or thing-I-have-to-do-at-work can break through it and get me moving right.
One thing got me moving today, though. A certain source came in to the library and told me that Mondale was spotted on his annual class trip to Haagen Dazs. He surprises them, you see, by suddenly taking them to Haagen Dazs. Last year, his classroom was next door to mine so he ducked in to grab me to help serve as a third chaperone with him and Ms. Dee. He promised me that I was now part of the tradition and would henceforth forever be invited along. And I... like a schmuck... believed him.
So my sources revealed that Mondale and the kids were at Haagen Dazs and I went from a mild-mannered librarian
plagiarizing writing the summer reading list to a kickass super spy who was going to Take. Him. DOWN (someone's been watching too much Alias...). I stormed up to 7th Avenue to give him a piece of my mind. But I didn't even have to speak. His associate teacher spotted me and started to smile and wave, but then you could see it hit him - he knew they were supposed to have called me. The look on his face was priceless. And then I got to storm up to Mondale, hands on hips, and say nothing while he squirmed. "Oh. Hello!" He said Britishly. "I was just going to come get you for the other half group!"
Needless to say he bought me a very large ice cream cone when I accompanied the other group. He also allowed me to alphabetize his children and march them around in two adorable lines. Remember the thing about being impulsive? Yeah. It seemed fun at the time.

Item #: STLER-R16577SS
Retail Value: 149.00
Price: $99.00
Can't decide between a cross and
an ichthus to represent what you believe to the world? Now you don't have to!
These unique earrings incorporate both to create a pair that's unlike any other.
From the side, a simple ichthus (the "Christian fish") is clearly visible, but
when these earrings are viewed straight on they become modern crosses with a
clean cutout taken from each one. Either design would be sufficiently
eye-catching on its own, but together these two motifs form a powerhouse style
with an element of surprise. Crafted from top-quality .925 sterling silver, this
pair is a versatile and meaningful accent.
Earrings measure 19mm x 13mm.

Detailed Itinerary
Beijing Oldest Great Wall- Gubeikou Great Wall .
Gubeikou Great Wall has 1460 years of history, it is the oldest Great Wall around Beijing which was built in the Qi dynasty (AD 555 years). On this 8km family friendly Great Wall camping trip, we follow the Gubeikou Great Wall as it winds through the landscape on top of the mountain ridges. Big draws for this camping trip are the fantastic scenery of one of the best-preserved section of the Great Wall and a great lunch and a dinner that should be awarded for 2 Outdoor Michelin starred meals. Our camping site has views with 2 sections of the Great Wall. All the camping gear will be delivered to the campsite, so we will have a relaxing day to hike on the Wall.
For this Great Wall section, we will drive to the border of the Beijing and Hubei province. It is a 100-km drive that will take us about 2 hours. Our arrival point is a small folk village where we will start with a nice countryside lunch. After lunch, we will follow a small trail for about 45-minute hike in the fields and walk through the forest and climb up the hills until we arrive at the highest Great Wall watchtower of the Gubeikou Great Wall. This view from the General Tower is the first highlight of the day, the view looks like a paint that shows the Great Wall winding over the mountain ridges as far as the eye can see. On nice weather days, we can see the whole Gubeikou Great Wall, the Jinshanling Great Wall and even the Simatai Great Wall.
From this watchtower, we will walk on top of the Great Wall for about 3 hours, passing numerous watchtowers and beacon towers till we reach the camping spot. The Great Wall and its famous towers are very well preserved and are still in its original state. There will be plenty of time for breaks and pictures at excellent viewpoints. From the rooftop of the last watchtower of our hike, we will be able to see our camping spot. A nice flat grass field next to and surrounded by the Great Wall. From a view on 2 sections of the Great Wall, we can watch the sunset while enjoying a nicely cooked dinner and glass of wine. After breakfast in the next day, we will have a short hike down the Wall into the valley where our driver will be waiting for us. You will treasure the memories you created on the Great Wall for a long time. Around 12:30pm we will arrive back at our meeting point.

Gubeikou was originally named "Beikou", which literally means "Northern Pass", during the Tang dynasty (618-907), since it is the northern defensive line of Beijing. Later generations added "Gu" (ancient) in the front of "Beikou", and meant "Old Northern Pass". Gubeikou Great Wall is located in Miyun county, 140 kilometers away from downtown Beijing. Gubeikou was first built during the Northern Qi dynasty (550-557). In the early Ming dynasty (1368-1644), General Xuda was ordered to rebuild it. To enhance its defensive capability, more stones were add. Unfortunately, not many can be found today. The best-preserved is called
the Big Flower Watchtower (Dahualou), because of its square shape with 12-arrowed windows, which resembles a blossoming flower when seen from afar. When Qi Jiguang was appointed the chief commanding officer of the Ji Garrison (one of the eleven garrisons during the Ming dynasty), he ordered to lay another layer of bricks standing side by side the original one, forming the unique double-layered Great Wall. It goes for over 20 kilometers and comprises of the four parts: Wohushan, Panlongshan, Jinshanling and Simatai. Gubeikou was a strategic pass of the Great Wall in ancient times, and Panlong Mountain and Wohu Mountain are connected by it with the Chao River flowing across Gubeikou Great Wall, offering an important access to Inner Mongolia and northeast of China. This section is the most intact and well preserved, original section of all the sections in Beijing. Wohushan Section "Wohushan" literally means a mountain resembling crouching tigers, as it looks like two tigers: one lying on its back and the other on its stomach. The Wohushan section features the unique "Sister Towers". The Elder Sister Tower to the north is higher than the Younger Sister Tower to the south. Seen from afar, they are like two pretty ladies hand in hand. The Sister Towers were used to station troops, store weapons and foodstuffs during the wartime. Panlongshan Section The Panlongshan section features the General Tower and 24-Window Tower: The two-storey General Tower was the commanding office. It is square in shape, with a side length of about 11 yards (10 meters) and a door on each side. There are four windows on the eastern and western sides respectively, and three windows on the northern and southern sides. The tower is pretty symmetrical. However, the crenels on the top were seriously damaged during the war. Hence, the top has been exposed to the substance ever since. The 24-window Tower is the last watch-tower at Panlongshan section. It has three storeys, which is unique. There are three windows on each side on the first and second storey and teeth-shaped crenels on the third storey. The 24-window Tower worked as a partner with the General Tower during the wartime. However, the northwestern side of the tower has now collapsed, leaving behind the eastern and southwestern walls standing firm and still. This section has 143 beacon towers. The inside of these towers has different designs. Some towers have a flat ceiling. Some have an arched ceiling, a domed ceiling, or an octagonal. Each tower consists of two floors, six archways, and ten arched doors, allowing garrisoned soldiers to advance and retreat freely.

With the pound at rates not seen for a decade, deciding on how best to manage the situation for companies in the plastics industry can be a challenge. Here, Miles Eakers, Chief Market Analyst at London-based Centtrip, shares his insight.
Britain voting to leave the European union last year led to the Pound to drop by over 20 percent.
The decline of the Pound made British goods and services considerably cheaper and themanufacturing industry has benefited significantly from this. Order books have swollen, with recent data suggesting manufacturing has reached its highest level since 2011. Thetheoretical discount resulting from the drop in sterling has led to growing demand for UK based products in a shift from what was traditionally a service-led economy.
As the Pound falls this makes UK products cheaper overseas and allows UK manufacturers to be more competitive than their overseas counterparts. It's not all good news though, far from it, the cost of raw materials imported from overseas become more expensive, stoking inflation. The ratio of import cost to export revenue will be the key factor when determining if the fall in the Pound has been beneficial.
With the Pound hovering close to levels not seen since 2010 against the Euro and marginally higher than levels not seen since the late 1980s against the Dollar, it may be that the Pound doesn't remain at these low levels for much longer. Despite Brexit negotiations still ongoing, it's likely that a deal between the UK and the EU will give some certainty to the future and give the Pound a boost.
The ongoing political fears in Europe and the upcoming German and Italian elections could see weakness in the coming months for the Euro. Across the Pond in the States, growing geo-political tensions on the Korean peninsula and increasing uncertainty around Trump may weigh on the Dollar. This could see the Pound return to levels more traditionally associated with Sterling.
For those selling the Pound before the Brexit referendum the ability to hedge in a rate close to €1.30 against the Euro looks very attractive now. Many felt that the referendum would result in a victory for the remainers, this wasn't the case, and, as ever with major risk events, it's important to hedge against currency exposure. The same is true now.
With the Pound at a historically low level, this offers an exciting time to hedge against the Pound increasing in value. In manufacturing the need to hedge is often over a longer period that requires more than just one spot conversion. This opens up the use of 'forwards', which allow users to lock in a specific rate for conversion at a set data in the future. Knowing this rate is locked in, this can mitigate any violent swings in the currency markets and protect key profit levels for business.

I have a pet peeve. A rather irritating pet peeve.
Why is it that people just forward messages about alleged attacks and warnings, when they themselves don't know whether the events that are detailed in these emails are true or false?
In the recent past, I received two of these alleged warnings. One was a warning to females to watch their drinks because criminals allegedly drop Rohypnol (the date-rape drug) and another drug called "Progesterex" which is a sterilization drug. A friend of mine forwarded it to me, and something inside me just ticked, and said that this is too good to be true. I thus made some research in the internet, and a few seconds later, I found out that this is just a hoax. Read this article for details.
In another occasion, I also received an email about a perfume scam, where thieves apparently let you sample cheap "perfume" that turns out to be ether. You will then pass out and they will rob you of your belongings while your lights are out. I again did research and sure enough, based on this article, this is also a hoax. With this one, apparently, there are various versions circulating around, and there even are Northern Ireland versions, New Zealand versions, and other versions out there.
Now why is it that people, when they get emails like these, have an impulse to hit the "Send to Everyone" button and forward it to everybody they know? Is it because of their concern to other people? Are they really concerned of other people's welfare?
If for example, you were approached by a good friend of yours, and gives you an unknown substance, and tells you that it is good for your health, just mix it with your water, flavored water, milk, low-fat milk, non-fat milk, coffee, decaf, cappuccino, frappuccino, latte, espresso, green tea, black tea, herbal tea, chai tea, Pepsi™, Coca-Cola™, Dr. Pepper™, or any other liquid you happen to drink, and also tells you to pass it to other people you know too, wouldn't you take a few moments to verify whether it indeed is good for you or not? Simple common sense! Again, SIMPLE COMMON SENSE! Again, SIMPLE COMMON SENSE! I cannot emphasize that enough.
The same thing goes with forwarded emails. Even if it comes from a good friend of yours (which most of the time it does), check the truth or falsity of the message. It is simple common sense, people.
Now, why do I make a big deal out of this? Maybe it is because of my nature as a scientist. Being a linguist, I try to be as empirical as possible. I test my hypotheses whether they work or not. And so, even with everyday scenarios such as these, if I get a piece of information, I test it whether it is true or not. I then proceed accordingly.
Thus, the lesson is, check it as to whether they are fact or fiction, before you spread the word.
So, time for the flowers again. Some more orchids courtesy of my Ecuadorian Flora Series.

I get so pissed at these e-mails I usually reply to all with my "research" at Snopes.com debunking the forwarded missive. That usually learns 'em.ReplyDelete
Good thing I am not the only one. I haven't seen that site before. Usually I just google some key phrases in the email and some hoax busting site pops up.
- AnonymousSun Aug 12, 09:04:00 am CEST
Uggh! I hate anything forwarded too. I delete them right away without reading them. Hey LIW, have a wonderful time in New York! I'm so jealous!ReplyDelete

Risk management strategies for growing canola in the low rainfall zone
Michael Moodie 1, Mick Brady 2, Andrew Ware 3 and Therese McBeath 4
1 MSF, Mildura;2 DEDJTR, Mildura; 3 SARDI, Port Lincoln;4 CSIRO, Adelaide
Why do the trial?
For canola to be a sustainable, long-term break crop option for low rainfall farmers, low risk management systems need to be investigated. This project was undertaken to identify strategies that minimise the risk of canola production in the low rainfall zone. This will improve the long term profitability of canola in low rainfall farming systems.
How was it done?
Two trials were established in the low rainfall zone in 2015; at Ouyen in the Victorian Mallee and Minnipa on the Eyre Peninsula. Treatments were a combination of three factors:
• Timing of Sowing-early (21-22 April) or later (6-7 May) sowing;
• Variety- Hybrid (Hyola 450) or open pollinated (stingray) variety;
• Timing of nitrogen (N) application- N applied either at seeding, early post emergent, bolting or flowering.
Key Messages
• Contrasting canola yields were observed at two sites in 2015 highlighting both the potential and the risks of growing canola in the southern Australian low rainfall zone.
• Sowing at the earliest opportunity and applying N at seeding or early in the crop's development produced the highest grain yields.
• Purchasing hybrid canola instead of using farmer retained open pollinated canola provided no advantage in 2015.

Early childhood is the foundation on which children build the rest of their lives. At Heathfield School we greatly value the important role that the Early Years Foundation Stage plays in laying secure foundations for future learning and development, however we also believe early childhood is valid in itself, as part of life. It is important to view the EYFS as preparation for life and not simply preparation for the next stage of education.
At Heathfield our practice reflects the guidance set out in the 'Statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage' (DFE 2012).
All children begin school with a variety of experiences and learning. The vast majority of children entering Reception will have attended Heathfield Nursery. It is the privilege of the Practitioners in Nursery and Reception to take on the task of building upon the children's previous experiences. This is done through a holistic approach to learning, ensuring that parents/carers, and all staff work effectively together to support children's learning and development.
The four guiding principles shape the practice in our EYFS department. These are:
It is every child's right to grow up safe, healthy, and ready to face the challenges ahead. We aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum which will enable each child to develop personally, socially, emotionally, spiritually, physically, creatively and intellectually to their full potential. Each child is valued as an individual and teaching and learning is based on the understanding that children develop at different rates.
We aim to:
At Heathfield School we do not make a distinction between work and play. We support children's learning through planned play activities, and decide when child initiated or adult-led/guided play activities would provide the most effective learning opportunities. We believe that it is important for adults to support children's learning through play, by getting involved in the play themselves. Children are given the opportunity to explore and discover within a safe and supportive environment.
Play underpins the delivery of the EYFS curriculum. Through play our children explore and develop learning experiences, which help them to make sense of the world. They practise and build up ideas, and learn how to control themselves and understand the need for rules. The children have the opportunity to think creatively alongside other children, as well as on their own. They communicate with others as they investigate and solve problems. They express fears or re-live anxious experiences in controlled or safe situations. The children are involved with both group and individual play, some initiated by adults, some by the children. They learn through being active learners, working with a wide range of resources.

I imagine most everyone on here already does this but if you don't, please pray for the safety of our incoming President. As you know only we right wingers use irresponsible language, threatening rhetoric, and as a result provoke violence. That, of course, is the popular image promoted by the MSM and the cultural mavens, but these folks give lie to all that.
ZitatTrump's victory has sparked unrest across the US as angry citizens riot in the streets after his shock election win.But some raging Clinton supporters are taking things a step further as they blatantly call for The Donald's "assassination".
This is followed by the quoting of a number of tweets which unabashedly call for his assassination.
ZitatOne wrote on Twitter: "I do not know what is better for us to do, impeachment or straight assassination?"Another one added: "I still have faith in an assassination attempt, come through American snipers. It is all on you now."Twisted voters also wrote "this is gonna end with Trump's assassination" and "we might get to witness an assassination soon".And that is just a few of thousands of messages being posted across the internet as the world reacts badly to Trump's incredible win in the race for the White House.
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-n...use-US-ElectionThese kinds of posts are illegal, of course, and I hope the Secret Service will pursue the authors vigorously. However, they sure have their job cut out for them.
Headline from NY Post, via Drudge: ASSASSINATION THREATS FLOOD TWITTER
Not an assassination threat, but sick and indicative of Leftist thinking.

He understands that's what I desire. He desires it too, and we talk about having a woman. There are too lots of politics that will result from making our love authorities.
I are worthy of every minute of solitude and questioning if life is even worth living if I have to continue this method.

I sit here, with cash, product abundance ... whatever I believed I constantly desired. What is missing out on in my life are things that cash can not purchase. I should have every minute of isolation and questioning if life is even worth living if I have to continue this method.
Numerous traditional tales highlight the discomfort of a prohibited relationship, such as the traditional tale of Laila and Majnon in Persian/Indian/Arabic Folktales. An outstanding Bollywood movie that depicts such prohibited love is, "Veer Zaara," where Veer and Zaara are extremely much like Laila and Majnon. The tune listed below (in 2 parts) from the movie has effective lyrics that highlight the strength of love and grief.
I do not desire to think of the repercussions of our love. If our love stays, then we lose love in other methods.

I do not desire to picture the effects of our love. If our love stays, then we lose love in other methods. It makes me saddened to envision having a kid experience the very same life I did ... the very same situations and ideologies that indoctrinated me to think that being 'independent' and 'attractive' was something to accept, when in truth it lead me into prostitution and cash dependency.

LET'S BE HONEST – Brian O'Driscoll and Amy Huberman are the closest thing this country has to a John Legend and Chrissy Teigen-esque celebrity relationship.
This is helped, largely, due to how funny Amy is on social media. (Not to be hateful, BOD, but Amy is seriously carrying your brand ATM).
(Slinky number!!! Get it?!)
But is all as it seems with Ireland's faves? Someone on Twitter reckons BOD has been keeping some big secrets from Amy …
… Like the fact that he's ACTUALLY HARVEY KINKLE FROM WESTBRIDGE, MASSACHUSSETS.
(Seriously, how have we never noticed that before? Uncanny).
It must have been a shock for Amy, finding out with the rest of the world on social media.
As it turns out though, this isn't the first time he's been caught moonlighting as someone else.
But this? This level of deception is too much.
WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE ANYMORE, BOD. (Also, what does this mean for the original ending of Sabrina The Teenage Witch?!)
I mean, look at it this way – they have the Halloween costume sorted for next year.

Social structure and public policy
Valery Fedorov, General Director of the Russian Public Opinion Research Center, moderated the discussion on the "Complication of the social structure of society: challenges for social and economic policy" held on the third day of the Gaidar Forum. He explained that the complication of the social structure of society is one of the most serious challenges that can affect many aspects of state life.
A key speech at the discussion was presented by Stepan Lvov, head of the research department at the Russian Public Opinion Research Center. The expert called the misalignment with the context of social processes one of the modern problems. This problem can be solved by choosing adequate differentiating features.
The expert drew attention to such a definition of the concept of a seriality. Despite the autonomation of society, such autonomations form an aggregate. Fears and anxieties may cause the emergence of the seriality. These phenomena are the main attributes of modern life. As a result, modern society finds itself in a state of anxiety. 51% of society members are anxious about the future. Respondents were asked to rate their fears by 13 criteria. 36% have their fears expressed in a high degree.
People, who assess their financial situation as good, are less susceptible to fears. Fears are conventionally divided into several categories: economic, physical and social. The first make up the largest share.
A person in fear needs to be protected, and stereotypically refers to "common places". Thus, the effect of general intelligence arises. As a result, people have the so-called mantras. The most common mantras are related to raising the retirement age, blocking Telegram, elections, and others.
Collective life suits the majority, to some extent being a part of the "seriality" is attractive - it excludes inequality.
Vladimir Petukhov, Head of the Center for Comprehensive Social Research of the Institute of Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, commented on the topic of public anxiety.
According to the expert, many fears are man-made, and not the results of objective reality. The highest indicators of anxiety according to research results are caused by the situation in the country, whereas the situation in the region of residence causes the lowest fears.
Vladimir Petukhov commented on the key demands of society for change and the formation of new subjects of social action.
The relative majority of the Russians believe that changes are needed; however, a considerable part of them voiced a request for stability. The demand for changes is particularly pronounced in the segment of the young part of the population. The majority of demands is social in nature.
Oleg Chernozub, Head of the Center for Social and Economic Research, RANEPA, paid attention in his report to the problem of loss of explanatory models relevance.
According to the expert, the concept of modern man is currently in crisis. Following the traditional model, a person acts on the basis of what is beneficial for him or her. This thesis has become extremely problematic in recent years. Economics has proven that even under ideal conditions, the model of a rational person is very limited in its operation. The more uncertain the environment, the less rational behavior becomes. What to do if a person does not understand what is beneficial for him/her and how to behave? It is necessary to study decision-making mechanisms and related factors. Only some of a person's motives can be rationally explained, Mr. Chernozub believes.
Alexander Demidov, General Director of GFK-RUS, drew attention to the problem of the social and value-based potential of society in the context of influence on challenges.
When discussing the social structure, references to various factors of influence are always made, but attention should be paid to the issues of the social and value-based potential of society. The renewal of the system of values determines the social structure of economic transformations.
Social institutions are formed only after the formation of social and personal values. Over the past 20 years, the values of the Russians remain relatively stable, Alexander Demidov assures. The ratio of moral and material values is an indicator of the democratization of society. The personal values of the Russians are changing towards democratization at a very slow pace, the speaker said.
At the same time, the expert drew attention to the fact that it is extremely important to influence the value-based potential of the population in the first place, and this is more difficult than changing one or another economic component.
Natalya Tikhonova, chief research fellow at the Center for Stratification Studies of the Institute for Social Policy at the National Research University of Higher School of Economics, commented on the thesis of the rational behavior of the Russians and noted that there is a fundamental difference between economic rationality and rationality in general. The Russians, according to the expert, are generally relatively rational. In modern realities, they prefer to build up their material capital in order to remain in their social stratum. Even if it is associated with the need to undertake credit and mortgage obligations. On the one hand, such behavior is irrational, but from a social point of view it is rational, since in modern society social status is of high importance.
Natalya Tikhonova paid special attention to the need to study the social structure of society in order to develop social and economic policy.
In different countries of the world there are different types of societies with different types of structures. In Russia, this is an uneven regional development. A number of regions, for example, Moscow, are at the European level of development, and some are only starting to move towards it.
The expert explained that such a phenomenon as social stratification may contribute to the implementation of social policy objectives.
Iosif Diskin, Deputy Chairman of the Academic Council of the Russian Public Opinion Research Center, Member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation, stated: "The economic structure does not change much, but the interpretation of positions changes. Speaking about the problems of regulatory impact, it is necessary to understand the complexity of the social structure.
If the Russian breakthrough is successful, it will lead to dramatic changes in the situation of most social groups. This is a test for the socio-political system as a whole.
Politicians as public figures are always under scrutiny, and their "stupidity" and various statements have recently caused massive reactions among society. This suggests that the importance of a number of basic values has significantly increased. As soon as socio-economic decisions affect these values, an extremely emotional reaction is seen in response.
In society, moral sensitivity is growing. As crisis expectations increase, such sensitivity intensifies. This, in turn, limits the corridor of opportunities in the implementation of socio-economic policy."
All participants in the discussion noted the importance of the social situation in the country and the fact that its understanding is one of the necessary components for development of an efficient socio-economic policy.

The US Commercial Real Estate Index ("CREI") was created in 2014 by CRE Demographics, LLC and is designed to demonstrate the relative strength of the US Commercial Real Estate market. The index is composed of eight economic drivers and is calculated weekly. Updated values of the index are available at CRE Demographics, LLC.
The economic drivers behind the CREI are isolated into sub-indices that include the Employment Index, Commercial Real Estate Price Index, Credit Index, Consumer Confidence Index, Housing Index, Inflation Index, Income Index and the Retail Index.
An Index is a useful tool for monitoring a large amount of data from multiple economic drivers as a single number. Over-time multiple data points can be included in a time series which is extremely useful for trend analysis. The US Commercial Real Estate Index synthesizes over 60 data points from publicly released data and has an inception data of December 31, 2000.
An index can have an arbitrary starting point and an arbitrary starting value. The CREI has a starting value of 100 and is expressed in values rounded to two decimal points. The starting date was strategically selected as of the end of 2000 due to the timing of economic cycles. In the graph below from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, the start and end of the two most recent economic cycles can be seen in a graph of US Unemployment Rate data. Note that the starting and ending dates were determined by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER).
Historical Economic cycles with US Unemployment Rate
By choosing to start the index at the end of 2000, because it is very close to the peak of an economic cycle before the recession that occurred during the eight month period spanning March 2001 through November of 2001. Also, due to the length of the datasets supporting the CREI, the effect of two full economic cycles can be observed.
The CREI is designed to reflect change in the inputs since the inception of the index. Inputs can be negatively or positively correlated to the index. For example if the US Unemployment Rate rises, this would be considered to negatively impact the commercial real estate market. Conversely, if the US Unemployment Rate were to fall this would have a positive impact on the index. On the other hand, the change in the level of household income in the US would be positively correlated to the index.
The computation of the index is done on a "latest available" basis. With over 60 inputs and eight sub-indices, the data inputs are updated at different intervals. For example, there are daily changes to US Treasury rates, REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) prices and Retail ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) prices and some of the US housing indices are updated quarterly. Due to these varying rates of updates of the inputs, the data is updated as it is released and each component is carried forward until a new update occurs. This will create a constant revision process to the CREI. As data becomes available, each input that comprises the current value is reported and calculated on a "latest available" basis.

Am I Hungry?Read Now
When I tell people that I try to eat when I am hungry and stop when I am satisfied, the typical response is "of course". That idea is so simple. And yet as simple as it sounds IT IS NOT EASY and most people don't eat this way.
Eating when we are hungry may be how our body works but not how our society is set up. The structure of our days can be inflexible. Our meal times may not be when we are actually hungry. And when we get hungry there may be little to no time to eat or perhaps the food that is available is often high calorie and low nutrient density. And it is EVERYWHERE: the gas station, the card store, even the clothing store. Mindless eating is so easy in our society. I challenge you to come up with a place you frequent that doesn't have food available. And there is often FREE food available: at the secretary's desk, the lunch area, and even the car fix it place. Socializing also typically includes food and the portion sizes have gotten so big they are laughable.
So as simple as it sounds eating when you are hungry is a challenge. I think it may be like climbing Mt Everest or if not that hard at least as hard as getting up on time on a Monday morning. Before I tried to notice when I was hungry I ate according to the clock: 7:30 breakfast, noon lunch, etc. When I actually noticed my hunger it was overwhelming – I felt nauseous. I was a busy person and didn't listen to my body. In order for me to start listening to my body I had to get really "quiet" with myself, be super conscious, to actually notice how my body was feeling and what it was "saying".
I felt like I was learning a foreign language. If my body made this feeling – what did that mean? Hunger? Gas? Nothing? Maybe my hunger would show up as a headache, or being grouchy, or tired? Maybe I would feel weak? Maybe I would be hungry+angry="hangry".
After a bit I figured out my hunger would show up in my stomach area as very small pains. It was like my hunger signals were polite neighbors who might knock lightly but leave quickly if there wasn't a response. The neighbors would come back again and again but were really polite until they got so mad they would try to break the door down. It was an awesome moment when I actually figured out how my body was talking to me! I felt empowered. I also learned that listening to my body for hunger also gave me feedback on lots of other things: like stress and feelings. But that is another blog.
I also had to learn when to eat. Do I eat when I first feel a hunger pain? Or right before the door is going to fall in? I learned that for me I wait until the second or third knock since my hunger is clear but I am not so hungry I am going to eat everything in front of me until I am overfull. But this took time. Getting clear takes a lot of noticing and energy. The good news is once you get used to listening to your body it becomes second nature. It is like learning to use your new phone. At first it takes a bit of learning but then it is easy.
My challenge to you is to try to listen to your hunger. How does your body tell YOU that you are hungry?
