Could Subaru Discontinue Manual Transmissions in the Name of Safety?
One U.K. executive thinks it's possible
The manual transmission is a dying breed. That's not news. Modern cars are slowly killing off three-pedal driving in favor of more efficient automatic transmissions. Subaru still offers a manual transmission option on several models but that might not be the case for much longer.
Subaru's non-sports car offerings, the Impreza, Forester, and Crosstrek can still be optioned with a six-speed manual (five-speed for the Impreza) but not the Outback, Legacy, or new three-row Ascent. Additionally, the manual option can only be equipped on the lower trims and Subaru's EyeSight package of driver assist safety features cannot be equipped with a manual transmission—the reason the automaker is likely considering having an all-automatic lineup.
According to a report from Auto Express, Chris Graham, Subaru Managing Director for the U.K., said, "There are certainly no rumors we've heard that manual will continue, or Eyesight will be [offered] with manual. My gut tells me it will be Eyesight with Lineartronic [CVT] ongoing and long-term.
Graham continued, "[Subaru wants] to steal the mantle of the safest car in the world. I think if they do that, then they say 'here's a manual without Eyesight,' they'll just ruin that [message]."
"We've spoken for many years about [the safety granted by] boxer engines and symmetrical all-wheel drive," Graham said. "We're now talking about safety that's not just underpinned by the chassis, but by Eyesight, boxer, and symmetrical all-wheel drive. All these things are reinforcing the safety message. The safety message is the thing Subaru will want to take forward."
Subaru's EyeSight system consists of adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning with lane keep assist, and pre-collision throttle management—a feature that reduces engine power before a possible collision.
Like most automakers, Subaru plans for an autonomous future, led by EyeSight technologies that are compatible with automatic transmissions. Some automakers offer driver assist technologies on manual-equipped cars but Subaru might not see the benefit in spending the time and effort on that when a low percentage of buyers opt for a manual, and higher levels of automation will soon require an automatic transmission.
Does this mean the upcoming WRX and WRX STI models will be automatic-only? It might, especially with rumors that the next STI will have a hybrid powertrain. Graham didn't hide his enthusiasm for a possible upcoming hybrid STI, saying, "For me an STI has to be a manual in the guise it is today, however if you look at [auto-only] M-series BMWs, I don't think this is the end and I'd be very excited if they had a hybrid petrol STI. That would be phenomenal in terms of its acceleration."

HANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach - 14 January 2022 - As part of the VinFuture Award Week (Jan 18 – 21, in Hanoi), the "Science for Life" Symposium will see some of humanity's greatest thinkers give detailed predictions about the future of mankind.
Slated for January 19, the symposium, covering three main areas: Energy, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Health, is considered a "must-go" event for outstanding minds in global science and technology, who will be attending the VinFuture Awards Week from January 18-22.
The "Future of Energy" session is a unique event in Việt Nam that brings together two Nobel laureates, Sir Konstantin S. Novoselov and Professor Gérard Mourou, as well as the owner of the 2010 Millennium Technology Prize - Sir Richard Henry Friend.
Professor Novoselov, the world's youngest Nobel laureate in Physics, created graphene known as a super material, which is predicted to become a mainstream material in the future.
Professor Mourou, the 2018 Nobel laureate in Physics, is considered the "father" of ultra-short pulse laser amplification technology - a technique used in eye surgeries for millions of people each year.
Meanwhile, Professor Friend is recognised worldwide as his research has laid the foundation for the birth of OLED screens - a common part in electronic devices such as televisions and smartphones today.
At the symposium, questions about the most important alternative energy sources in the future like "How to make energy cleaner, cheaper and easily accessible to the vast majority of people around the world?" will be addressed. The topic interests both the scientific community and business circles.
At the "Future of Artificial Intelligence" session, the world's leading scientists such as Dr. Padmanabhan Anandan, Prof. Jennifer Tour Chayes, Dr. Xuedong David Huang, and Dr. Bui Hai Hung will provide an overview of the impact of AI on people's lives, how to create competitive advantages, close the gap between countries as well and ease potential risks or consider ethical aspects.
The event will bring Vietnamese scholars and public a rare opportunity to meet and talk directly with famous names coming from technology giants such as Microsoft, Google or Adobe.
Dr. Padmanabhan Anandan is former founder and CEO of Microsoft Research India, vice president at Adobe Research, with expertise in computer vision, visual motion analytics, video surveillance and 3D scene modelling.
Jennifer Tour Chayes is the managing director of three Microsoft Research centers in Cambridge, New York and Montreal. Microsoft Corporation Chief Technology Officer Xuedong David Huang currently owns 170 patents, and plays an important role in robot research that can see, hear, understand and support human life best way. Meanwhile, Dr. Bui Hai Hung used to hold important positions at Google DeepMind and Adobe Research, AI Center, and SRI International.
Attracting the most attention is probably the "Future of Health" session, where health 'spellbinders' will discuss the progress of medicine, responsibilities in the field of health and issues surrounding the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and its variants.
Notably, the scientists laying the foundation for COVID-19 vaccines technology will reveal the journey of a nearly 30-year preparation to produce a "weapon" in the fight against the global pandemic. These include Prof. Pieter Rutter Cullis, pioneer in gene therapy using lipid nanoparticle (LNP) technology; Drew Weissman and Dr. Katalin Kariko, co-recipient of the Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences 2021 with mRNA technology that shortens the production time of vaccines from years to just months.
Attending the symposium, the South African-born professor married couples, Salim Abdool Karim and Quarraisha Abdool Karim, will also share information about the "miracle" Tenofovir. This is considered a breakthrough invention that helps reduce the amount of HIV in the blood and reduces the risk of AIDS-related illnesses and other dangerous infectious diseases.
Right after the "Science for Life" Symposium, the winners of the prestigious VinFuture Prize will be announced in the award ceremony held at 8:10pm on January 20 at the Hanoi Opera House.
The organizers have carefully prepared a COVID-19 test for all guests participating in VinFuture events, in order to ensure a high level of safety.
VinFuture Science Week has four main activities:
- January 18, 2022: Conversation with VinFuture Prize Council and Pre-Screening Committee, where famous scientists share stories of passion, achievements and sacrifices of scientists.
- January 19, 2022: The "Science for Life" Symposium has three discussion sessions, each session will last 90 minutes with the topics: Future of Energy, Future of Artificial Intelligence and Future of Global Health.
- January 20, 2022: Inaugural Award Ceremony of VinFuture Prize at Hanoi Opera House at 8:10pm (live broadcast on VTV1 and major domestic and international platforms).
- January 21, 2022: Scientific Dialogue with the VinFuture Prize Laureates.

Salvito's Pizza Bar – Authentic Italian Pizza
Often considered one of Italy's most memorable dishes, beloved pizza is an ultimate comfort food and has become an ever-growing obsession around the world. Is there anything more enjoyable than a really good pizza? Pizza is a dish that we so often associate with Italy, but it is now found in pretty much every corner of our globe. A googling of pizza yields over 1,800 billion hits.
Italy in general and Naples, in particular, are known to be the place of pizza's roots; the fact remains that tomatoes – one of the main ingredients in pizza – originally came to Italy from America. Italian emigration to Nelson extends back as far as the 1860s, and in the early decade of 1920, the Wood became known for its tomato gardens, many of them owned by Italian families. At its height, there were more than 40 growers in The Wood Nelson's own Little Italy.
At Salvitos Pizza Bar on Hardy Street, you can step back in time as across the interior walls, there are photos and inscriptions detailing the story of the family's life and time to the present day. The Esposito family's connection to the city began in 1890 when 26-year-old Pasquale Fiatarone set sail from Naples in search of a better life on the other side of the world. Pasquale's great-great-grandsons Salvi and Vito, after whom the pizza bar is named, are on board with their father, John (Giovanni) Esposito in running the business, having grown up learning the art of pizza making at home and at Club Italia. Salvito's Pizza styles and ingredients adhere to tradition, although the names have been altered to honour those who had gone before. For example – the flagship Neapolitan pizza with homemade tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, dressed with fresh basil, grated Grana Padano and extra virgin olive oil – that's a 'Frank Monopoli Margherita'.
There is nothing like authentic Italian pizza. There are chains that serve pizza in all their glory, but Italian pizza is a hard-to-beat alternative. Authentic Italian pizza is often characterized by a crispy and thin bottom, with fresh ingredients and good choices of topping. John chooses raw materials with care and has a great customer focus. – Our pizzas are very much appreciated as we make them in an authentic Italian way. What drives us and gives joy are satisfied customers. When customers praise the food and say that it is the best they have eaten, you get really happy, says John.
Pizza, simple, unpretentious but at the same time incredibly varied, tasty and absolutely wonderful dish has taken place in the hearts of so many people around the world.
John Esposito and his sons want to honour that heritage and welcome you into a world full of flavours, aromas and sheer pleasure. Welcome to an Italian dining experience.

Such delicious pizza!!

Vosne - Les Malconsorts 1990 Thomas-Moillard
1/98. Acquired from London Dec-94 for $40 (imported for $50 net).
More than two years since I last tasted this wine. 'Les Malconsorts' 1er Cru
vineyard in Vosne-Romanee is adjacent to that of La Tache and, according to Henry
Thomas Moillard, part of the present-day La Tache was at one time an extension of
Moillard's parcel in Malconsorts.
COLOR: Dark 'healthy' color for a (B) wine. Hardly any clearing towards the rim and
not a trace of sediment.
NOSE: Very nice and elegant nose though not particularly high-powered. Typical 1990
bouquet where the 'Bourgogne Nose' is low-keyed and black fruit is more discernible
than red fruit.
TASTE: Soft, silky and delicate on the palate. Good tasty fruit, though not
particularly complex. Soft tannins still abound and good acidity adds some punch.
Both give the wine good grip. Very nice and tasty.
LENGTH: Moderate length. Aftertaste is still tannins-affected.
TEXTURE & BALANCE: Elegant and delicate rather than full-bodied. Finely balanced
though perhaps a touch too 'politically correct'... Very Vosne-Romanee in character.
OVERALL: Superb! About as good as a Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru can get (I personally
prefer the top Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Crus for their extra structure and zest).
MARK: 18/20.aaaaaaaaBUY MORE? Yes.

Stewardship Kaleidoscope workshop focuses on the gifts and talents present in the pews
by Sally Scherer for the Presbyterian Foundation | Special to Presbyterian News Service
CINCINNATI — Dr. Aimée Laramore remembers when, while working for a nonprofit, she received her first six-figure gift for the organization.
The people who made the donation were familiar to her. Eventually, she realized the couple came from the church where she grew up, First Church of God in Toledo, Ohio.
The husband of the couple told Laramore his story. His father had given him a gift to open up his first car dealership. Now, with three car dealerships, he was making a donation to pass along his gift.
She said she remembered thinking that she was a teenager while this man was running these businesses and yet he wasn't talking to the youth of the church about being an entrepreneur, being financially responsible, and dealing with debt.
She was learning about the Bible and the importance of service and prayer, but no one at her church was talking about money. She wondered how it was possible that her church wasn't leveraging this man's skills to teach, train and educate the people of the church community.
Laramore, who has a doctorate in African-American Preaching and Sacred Rhetoric and is a philanthropic strategist at the Center for Pastoral Excellence at Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, Indiana, spoke at the annual ecumenical Stewardship Kaleidoscope, a conference on stewardship and generosity held Sept. 13-15 in the Cincinnati area.
"How is it possible that we have gifts and talents in our pews and we never think of the implications for the rest of our congregation and the young people, too?" she asked.
The intersection of faith and giving
Laramore describes herself as a realist who talks about diversity — in term of streams of income and types of givers — at the intersection of faith and giving because it is a missing aspect of the work that church leaders do.
Laramore encouraged congregations to talk about the opportunity of giving and generosity throughout the year and not just during the stewardship season. She suggested that churches can create a culture of generosity by talking about it, by keeping the momentum going, by reflecting on giving, by celebrating givers.
"This idea of celebrating the parking lot ministry and celebrating anybody who teaches Sunday school — it's great," she said.
"But the reality is that, in addition to that celebration, we have to celebrate givers as well. How are you communicating with people for the gratitude for their gift? Not their tax letter, but thank you so much for all that you have done to help make this ministry thrive?"
She suggested conversations about the gift of getting are as important as the gifts of giving. Remembering who invested in you and how you can give back is essential.
"How is it we raise young people of faith in our communities and never ask the question, 'What does this congregation mean to you, what does this community mean to you? How might you come back and reinvest?'"
Discussions of core values and what's important are vital for churches. A mission statement that explains those values can help churches explain what puts them "on fire for God," she said.
Diversifying donors
Discussing diversity, equity, inclusion, social justice and cultural competency in faith communities does not make Laramore a popular speaker, she said. So, she tries to ease into the conversation about diversity in giving because it isn't realistic to change the orientation toward diversity in giving if everyone freezes up if the word is mentioned in the room.
"We often have a lack of diversity in our givers but not in whom we're helping," she said, adding that websites often show people who look just like her — a Black woman — as the recipients of the generosity of the church.
"I'm grateful. Your generosity matters. But you want me as a donor. You want me to see myself as part of the solution. You want me as a giver," she said. "So how come I don't see myself as one of the individuals providing service or providing gifts? Oftentimes we may miss the opportunity to help everyone understand you are a philanthropist, too."

text: The Sunburst Arch ADDS HEIGHT to your gate. Let's say you choose a 48 inch high gate and then add the sunburst arch. The outside of your gate will be 48 inches high and you will gain height as you move towards the center of the gate. Arch height varies based upon the width of the gate. It's not exact for every gate because all of our gates our first built by hand, then welded, then powder coated. However, the wider the gate, the higher the arch. For example, a walk gate with arch may have a rise of approximately 3 – 8 inches depending on the width of the gate whereas a driveway gate with arch may have a rise of 10 – 14 inches or more… again, depending on the width of the gate.

In this multi-part series, the staff members of Place to Be Nation have to come together to argue who the true Real World Champion of North American wrestling was in each year from 1983 through 2014. We factored in workrate, drawing ability, influence and general overall presentation, acceptance and cache. After intense debates, we chose our Champions for each year and submitted a writeup explaining the choice and also offering up the top matches each Champion competed in that year. On with the roll call!
Ric Flair
Mr. Perfect
It was an interesting year in the grappling game, with both major companies trying new things at the top to varying results and numerous booking overhauls coming about thanks to a decided decline in business. With so much turmoil at the top, it's natural that the talents that shined most were in the midcard and upper-midcard – Lex Luger in WCW and 1990's Wrestler of the Year and the man who dominated the WWF Intercontinental Championship: Mr. Perfect.
Arguably no wrestler, short of the Ultimate Warrior, had more momentum coming into 1990 than Mr. Perfect. He was riding an unbeaten streak on TV, engaged in entertaining feuds with top stars Warrior and Hulk Hogan, and seemed bound for a feud with whoever came out on top at WrestleMania VI. While that never really came to fruition, he did wrap up a fun run with those two before capturing the vacant IC title in a stellar bout with veteran Tito Santana. Jettisoning the Genius for far superior manager Bobby "The Brain" Heenan only added to Perfect's star power, allowing him to maintain a virtual stranglehold on the belt for more than a year.
While it can be argued that Hennig's best matches didn't come from this year, there are few suitable candidates who had more consistently good bouts. Matched with his promos and his incredible selling that made the worst opponents look credible, Perfect was PTBN's Real World Champion of 1990.
Notable matches
Mr. Perfect vs. Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior – Saturday Night's Main Event 1/27/90
Mr. Perfect vs. Ultimate Warrior – New York City. NY 3/19/90
Mr. Perfect vs. Hulk Hogan – Saturday Night's Main Event 4/28/90
Mr. Perfect vs. Tito Santana – WWF Superstars 5/19/90
Mr. Perfect vs. Tito Santana – Saturday Night's Main Event 7/28/90
Mr. Perfect vs. Kerry Von Erich – SummerSlam 1990
Mr. Perfect vs. The Big Boss Man – The Main Event 10/30/90
Hulk Hogan
In an overall putrid year for United States wrestling, utilizing a "devil you know" philosophy became a benchmark for selecting a candidate for 1991. Hulk Hogan was certainly hotter in other years in the 1980s, but it is tough to argue against the fact that after the failed Ultimate Warrior experiment of 1990, he regained his role as the undisputed #1 focal point of WWF in 1991. Regardless of your opinion on the Gulf War angle with Sgt. Slaughter, it was the most focused and well established feud of the first eight months of the calendar year in the WWF. After the Gulf War angle was blown off at SummerSlam, more emphasis became placed on angles and feuds such as Jake Roberts vs. Randy Savage. However, Hogan still had a lot going on with his interactions with Sid Justice, the debuting Ric Flair and fending off newcomer the Undertaker. Hogan turned in one of his best in ring years of 1991 wrestling a variety of different matches. The WrestleMania VII main event was a long brawl featuring weapons and blood, the house show series vs. Flair displayed Hogan being an alpha-babyface defending his territory, and the series of matches vs. Taker showed Hogan in a more vulnerable state than the viewer was used to seeing since he became the ace of the promotion. Hogan may have not have had as many career highlights in 1991 compared to other years, but he did sustain a consistency from a popularity, push and in ring standpoint that few others had throughout the entire year.
Notable Matches:
Hulk Hogan vs. Sgt. Slaughter – WrestleMania VII 3/24/91
Hulk Hogan & Genichiro Tenryu vs. Legion of Doom – WWF/SWS 3/30/91
Hulk Hogan vs. Sgt. Slaughter – New York, NY 6/3/91
Hulk Hogan vs. Undertaker – This Tuesday in Texas 12/3/91
Ric Flair vs. Hulk Hogan – New York, NY 12/29/91

Let's Make Matt Yglesias's New Weblog a Success!
I very much hope that Matt Yglesias's new weblog http://slowboring.com becomes the place to see and be seen on the internet.
Not, mind you, that I expect Matt to get everything right. Or that I expect all of his quick takes to be sound takes:
I find myself more with Tom Scocca here than you. You write https://www.slowboring.com/p/whats-wrong-with-the-media:
The problem here, to me, is not that Walker ought to "stick to sports." It's that the analysis is bad. But because it's in a video game console review rather than a policy analysis section and conforms to the predominant ideological fads, it just sails through to our screens...
And then you say:
What actually happened is that starting in March the household savings rate soared.... Middle class people are seeing their homeowners' equity rise and... their debt payments fall, while cash piles up on their balance sheets…
This makes sense as a criticism of Ian Walker only if you think that when Ian Walker wrote 'I'd be remiss to ignore all the reasons not to be excited for the PlayStation 5...', it was meant to be the start of an argument that the PS5 will not sell very well because of the epidemiological-economic-cultural uproar of the plague year.
But I do not think that was what Ian Walker was doing at all. When he wrote 'I'd be remiss to ignore all the reasons not to be excited for the PlayStation 5...', he was doing what Chaucer does at the end of the Canterbury tales—saying: 'OK. You have had a good read and a good laugh. But now I need to remind you of the most important things https://www.gutenberg.org/files/22120/22120-h/22120-h.htm that all his readers join him in praying:
Graunte me grace of verray penitence, confessioun and satisfaccioun to doon in this present lyf; thurgh the benigne grace of him that is king of kinges and preest over alle preestes, that boghte us with the precious blood of his herte; / so that I may been oon of hem at the day of dome that shulle be saved: Qui cum patre, &c.'
Ian Walker is doing something very similar to Geoffrey Chaucer here. Ian Walker is very excited about the PS5 https://kotaku.com/playstation-5-the-kotaku-review-1845588904:
This review has spent 3,000 words talking about the PlayStation 5, which is the most I've written about anything. It's as good a video game console as there has ever been. The combination of ultra high-definition video, increased framerates, high-end graphics techniques like ray tracing, and the lightning-fast SSD make it feel like a real-deal, next-gen successor to the PlayStation 4. And if you're not ready to give up on the previous console, the PlayStation 5 reliably runs a vast majority of the PlayStation 4 library, with many of those games receiving upgrades to fidelity, framerate, and loading times.
That is the passage that immediately precedes 'But I would be remiss'. What Ian Walker is doing is an act of confession: he is excited about the PS5, but he is letting that excitement crowd the important things out of his soul, and he wants to mark that allowing that to happen is a sin. His idea of sin is very different from Chaucer's: rather than calling to mind his need to 'thanke I oure lord Iesu Crist and his blisful moder, and alle the seintes of hevene...', Ian Walker wants to call to mind the 'covid-19 pandemic… Americans out of work... that the worst people aren't going away just because a new old white man is sitting behind the Resolute desk... a lot of people simply won't be able to buy a PlayStation 5... [his own] privilege... [that he can] simply tune out the world as it burns around you...'
This is not 'analysis [that] is bad…. But because it's in a video game console review rather than a policy analysis section and conforms to the predominant ideological fads, it just sails through to our screens...'
Ian is not forecasting how the pent-up hoarded cash is going to show itself in spending on consumer electronics next year—that is the thing I am doing, not the thing he does.
What Ian Walker is doing is shifting into Woke Theology Mode.
And, Matt, I think you miss his point because you take him to be doing a bad version of the forecasting exercises that I do.
&, by the way, good luck with Slow Boring. I have subscribed.
But how many weblogs-flying-the-jolly-roger-of-Substack-&-costing-$100-a-year am I supposed to subscribe to?

In Anishinaabe (Ojibway) tradition, an offering is a gift. It's a gesture given in the hope of creating a relationship. Anishinaabeg gifts can take many forms, from asemaa (tobacco) to miijim (food) to zhooniyaa (money).
In Anishinaabemowin, the word for a gift is bagijigan while the act of making an offering is bagijige. A more accurate translation is actually "to release" – to hand over the responsibility of carrying a gift to another.
I remember when I received a beautiful bagijigan: my name. Niigaan means "leading" or "at the front." A more direct translation is "future." The second half wewidam – to make a long description embarrassingly short – means "a coming sound" (like a voice or word). One translation of Niigaanwewidam therefore is: "sound that comes before speech." I'm still learning from this beautiful name.
For thousands of years Anishinaabeg have given these kinds of offerings, in words from our beautiful language that together form stories and songs. These live through speech and breath that – among many things – honour the sacredness of the universe, illustrate dreams, and record history. Some carry such power they have even adopted English as a medium of expression.
Anishinaabeg stories tell of the famous Naanaboozhoo or other spiritual, animal, and/or human beings. They are political tales, funny anecdotes, or philosophical and scientific articulations of the world. They are as brilliant as any composed in Europe, Asia, or anywhere else. Some of them, especially in how they embody the history and geography of Turtle Island (North America), are the best narratives of this place.
Some Anishinaabeg narratives are "published" in books but much more exist in other textual forms like petroforms, rock paintings, books, tattoos, paintings, street art, and beadwork. Some exist on sand, earth mounds, and footprints on the earth. These expressions not only carry the knowledge of a unique people but represent gifts to all; opportunities to understand a rich and resilient culture and community.
My latest book, Centering Anishinaabeg Studies: Understanding the World Through Stories is an offering that embodies and honours the spirit of gift giving in Anishinaabeg literatures. It features 24 contributors who propose that Anishinaabeg stories carry dynamic answers to questions posed within Indigenous communities, nations, and the world.
I had the privilege of bringing this collection into being by working with these brilliant Anishinaabeg and non-Anishinaabeg scholars, storytellers, and activists. Their brave words draw upon the power of Anishinaabeg culture and community and illustrate how these offerings help us understand our world in a meaningful way.
I invite you to partake in this gift, enjoy reading it, and, perhaps, pass on a few offerings of your own.
About Centering Anishinaabeg Studies
For the Anishinaabeg people, who span a vast geographic region from the Great Lakes to the Plains and beyond, stories are vessels of knowledge. They are bagijiganan, offerings of the possibilities within Anishinaabeg life. Existing along a broad narrative spectrum, from aadizookaanag (traditional or sacred narratives) to dibaajimowinan (histories and news)—as well as everything in between—storytelling is one of the central practices and methods of individual and community existence. Stories create and understand, survive and endure, revitalize and persist. They honor the past, recognize the present, and provide visions of the future. In remembering, (re)making, and (re)writing stories, Anishinaabeg storytellers have forged a well-traveled path of agency, resistance, and resurgence. Respecting this tradition, this groundbreaking anthology features twenty-four contributors who utilize creative and critical approaches to propose that this people's stories carry dynamic answers to questions posed within Anishinaabeg communities, nations, and the world at large. Examining a range of stories and storytellers across time and space, each contributor explores how narratives form a cultural, political, and historical foundation for Anishinaabeg Studies. Written by Anishinaabeg and non-Anishinaabeg scholars, storytellers, and activists, these essays draw upon the power of cultural expression to illustrate active and ongoing senses of Anishinaabeg life. They are new and dynamic bagijiganan, revealing a viable and sustainable center for Anishinaabeg Studies, what it has been, what it is, what it can be.

I will continue to support the reform of the back office functions enabling more money to be diverted to protect front line policing. I will continue to be open and transparent in how decisions are made and how tax payer's money is spent.
- I will ensure West Mercia Police balance's its books and effectively manages its finances. I will ensure your money is spent as efficiently as possible before ever asking you to pay any more
- I will ensure an ever greater percentage of the budget is spent on policing and fighting crime
- I will support West Mercia Police with the tools and equipment they need to fight crime and keep us safe. This includes the right technology and buildings to support them to be at the heart of our community as well as effectively fighting crime
- I will support West Mercia Police to reduce its carbon foot print through investing in more energy efficient buildings and vehicles powered from renewable sources
- I will professionally and effectively hold the Chief Constable of West Mercia Police to account for the effectiveness and efficiency of the service
- I support the reform of the emergency services including the way fire services are governed in West Mercia. I believe they should work ever closer together to deliver increases in efficiency and effectiveness, as well as greater collaboration with West Mercia Police. I believe this is only likely to be achieved with maximum effect by the creation of a Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner in West Mercia.
My Plan for crime prevention
Over the past five years as Commissioner I have consistently focused West Mercia Police on fighting crime, catching criminals and making our communities safer; as a result most crime types are down.
I have been consistently clear that crime and harm being caused should never just be accepted as inevitable in West Mercia. In my unrelenting focus on tackling crime I have also focused on the prevention of crime by tackling the root causes of it.
As part of a series of pledges in the run up to the PCC election in West Mercia on Thursday 6th May, John I have pledged to continue to increase the amount invested in prevention in my drive to deliver a Safer West Mercia. I will further focus prevention on:
- Targeting the perpetrators of domestic abuse. 1 in 4 crimes in West Mercia features domestic abuse. It is engrained within too much of our society and I will target the perpetrators of this wicked crime to break the cycle of domestic abuse.
- Targeting the most dangerous drivers on our roads. Too many people are dying or being seriously injured on our roads. Enforcement will continue to play a major role in making our roads safer, but it must also be accompanied with an intense focus on the causes of that behaviour. I will also continue to work with highway authorities to design out danger on our roads.
- I have invested in my 'We Don't Buy Crime' scheme that has seen Burglary drop by 31% in West Mercia through the roll out of SmartWater property marking. I will continue to expand the scheme to more parts of West Mercia including offering all Farms in West Mercia a "Farm Crime Prevention Pack".
- I will continue to support our Town Centres to thrive and feel safe with further investment in community CCTV.
- I will increase investment in diversionary schemes for young people on the edge of criminality, ensuring they have the right support and role models to enter adulthood as law abiding citizens.
The fight against crime will only ever be truly successful if it is accompanied by an effective and wide ranging programme of prevention. I have focused West Mercia Police on more effectively fighting crime, targeting criminals and supporting victims but we must do even more to target the causes of crime in our society.
If re-elected I will increase investment in prevention programmes across a range of issues. As part of this investment I will work to ensure survivors of crime such as domestic abuse should have confidence that West Mercia Police will not only work hard to bring their perpetrator to justice and support them in their recovery, but also effectively rehabilitate those perpetrators to break the cycle of harm.

Opening Day
Philadelphia Phillies 2020 Schedule
Today was supposed to be Opening Day for the
2020 season
, but that's not going to happen. At this rate, I'd be surprised if they're playing baseball before my birthday. When things settle down and they figure out when the season will begin, they'll probably need to print up all new schedules. Hindsight is 2020.

[Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him,
"If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples,
and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
They answered him, "We are descendants of Abraham
and have never been enslaved to anyone.
How can you say, 'You will become free'?"
Jesus answered them, "Amen, amen, I say to you,
everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.
A slave does not remain in a household forever,
but a son always remains.
So if the Son frees you, then you will truly be free.]. (Jn. 8:31-36)
Why do so many of us stay away from the Sacrament of Confession? Some recent studies show that only 25% of Catholics attend Mass on Sunday, and presumably the percentage of Catholics who take advantage of God's mercy in the Sacrament of Confession is even less.
I think the answer to our question is vividly seen in the response of the Jews in our Gospel today. Jesus tells them that the truth will set them free. They are bewildered;
They answered him, "We are descendants of Abraham
and have never been enslaved to anyone.
How can you say, 'You will become free'?" (Jn. 8:33)
Why would they need to be liberated if they have nothing to be liberated from? I think this is our hang up as well. We don't know or believe we need to be liberated from anyone or anything. We have lost a sense of sin and the havoc sin reaps on our souls.
According to Jesus' own words, "Everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin" (Jn. 8:34). Further, St. Paul says, "The wages of sin is death" (Rm. 8:23). We all sin, and sin keeps us out of heaven. By His cross Jesus makes it possible for us to enter heaven. We all screw up once in a while, and so we NEED mercy and forgiveness.
Mercifully God gave the power to forgive sins to His Church (cf. Jn. 20:22-23 & Mt. 16:19). Jesus's forgiveness is not a vague fuzzy feeling, but words of truth spoken from the cross, "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do" (Lk. 23:34).
If you haven't gone to the Sacrament of Confession this Lent, I strongly urge you to go before Easter. No matter how long it has been since your last confession or how awful you think your sins are, God desires to forgive you. He wants you to ask for forgiveness because He desires to restore you to life. Give Jesus the opportunity to speak His words of forgiveness and mercy to you in the Sacrament of Confession.
"God, the Father of mercies,
through the death and resurrection of his Son has reconciled the world to himself and sent the Holy Spirit among us for the forgiveness of sins;
through the ministry of the Church may God give you pardon and peace,
and I absolve you from your sins
in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
—Words of Absolution

The Green Bay Packers kick off their 100th anniversary celebration Sunday night when they host the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field. With that in mind, here is a look at the 10 best season openers for the Packers since the start of the Lombardi Era in 1959.
Games were ranked based on their significance, excitement, outstanding performances and memorable plays. Feel free to comment on any of these games or bring up one you feel deserved to be on this list and enjoy the trip down memory lane.
- September 9, 2007: Packers 16, Eagles 13
Rookie kicker Mason Crosby booted a 42-yard field goal with two seconds left to give the Packers a 16-13 win over the Eagles at Lambeau Field. It was Crosby's third field goal of the game and his second in the final minute of the fourth quarter.
The Packers offense struggled and failed to reach the end zone during the game. Tracy White scored the Packers only touchdown early in the first quarter when he recovered a muffed punt in the end zone.
With the win, Brett Favre won his 148th game as a starting quarterback, trying John Elway's career mark. Nobody knew it at the time, but it would be Favre's final opening day in a Packers uniform.
- September 13, 1964: Packers 25, Bears 12
Paul Hornung returned to the lineup with a bang, kicking three field goals and rushing for 77 yards as the Packers defeated the defending champion Bears 25-12 in Green Bay.
Hornung sat out the 1963 season after being suspended for gambling. The Packers missed their Hall of Fame halfback, finishing 11-2-1 with both loses coming to the Bears. Having Hornung back and upsetting their arch-rivals got 1964 off to a strong start for the Pack.
Bart Starr threw for two touchdowns, one to Max McGee and one to Tom Moore, while Jim Taylor led a balanced rushing attack with 79 yards on 16 carries.
- September 9, 2008: Packers 24, Vikings 19
Aaron Rodgers led the Packers to a victory over the Vikings in his first NFL start. Rodgers threw for 178 yards and a touchdown and ran for another score that put the Pack ahead 24-12 in the fourth quarter.
Will Blackmon made a big play late in the third quarter when he returned a punt 76-yards for a touchdown to give Green Bay a 17-6 lead.
Atari Bigby clinched the win when he picked off Vikings QB Tavaris Jackson in the final minute.
Rodgers is 7-3-0 on opening days going into the 2018 season.
- September 8, 2002: Packers 37, Falcons 34 (OT)
Ryan Longwell kicked a 34-yard field goal with just over five minutes left in overtime as the Packers edged the Falcons 37-34 at Lambeau Field.
Brett Favre outdueled Michael Vick, throwing for 284 yards and a pair of touchdowns while Ahman Green dashed for 155 yards on 27 carries to pace the Green Bay rushing attack.
The Packers overcame an early 14-3 deficit in a wide open see-saw contest. William Henderson's one-yard touchdown run with 1:10 left in regulation put the Pack ahead 34-31, but Vick led the Falcons downfield and Jay Feely's 52-yard field goal with five seconds left tied the game and sent it to overtime.
- September 4, 1983: Packers 41, Oilers 38 (OT)
Lynn Dickey threw for 333 yards and five touchdown passes as the Packers beat the Houston Oilers 41-38 in overtime at the Astrodome.
Dickey almost didn't play because of recurring migraines which bothered him during the week before the game. But he did play and had one of the best games of his career throwing touchdown passes to James Lofton, John Jefferson (two), Paul Coffman and Gerry Ellis.
Dickey couldn't finish the game, however, as the pain became too great. Backup David Whitehurst came on in overtime and went 3-for-3 to get the Pack into field goal range. Jan Stenerud booted a 42-yard kick 5:55 into the extra session for the win.
The game was a microcosm of the 1983 Packers season. The team had one of the most explosive offenses in franchise history, but due to injuries, the defense gave up points just as quickly as the offense could score them. The Pack finished the season with an 8-8 mark in Bart Starr's final campaign as head coach.
- September 12, 1999: Packers 28, Raiders 24
Brett Favre found backup tight end Jeff Thomason for a one-yard touchdown pass with 11 seconds left to lead the Packers to a 28-24 comeback win in Ray Rhodes' debut as head coach.
Favre threw for 333 yards and four touchdowns including two in the fourth quarter to overcome a 24-14 deficit. He also threw three interceptions during the game.
Antonio Freeman paced the Packers with seven catches for 111 yards and a touchdown while Dorsey Levens totaled 146 yards for scrimmage for the game.
- September 7, 1980: Packers 12, Bears 6 (OT)
The 1980 season opener was an unremarkable game for the first 60 minutes. Neither the Packers nor the Bears were able to generate much offense. Bob Thomas of Chicago and Green Bay's Chester Marcol traded field goals and after four quarters, the game was all even at 6-6.
The Packers finally put together a steady drive in overtime. The key play was a 32-yard pass from quarterback Lynn Dickey to James Lofton. The drive stalled and the Pack brought in Marcol to try a 35-yard kick to win the game. The kick was blocked by future Hall of Famer Alan Page, but it bounced right back to Marcol who ran down the left sidelines and into the end zone for the only touchdown of his nine-year NFL career. The entire stadium was in stunned disbelief.
The unlikely hero was sadly near the end of the line in Green Bay. Marcol later admitted he was high on cocaine during the second half of this game. The Packers let him go about a month later.
The Green Bay defense played very well. They limited Hall of Famer Walter Payton to just 65 yards on 31 carries and intercepted Bears starter Mike Phipps three times.
- September 12, 1982: Packers 35, Rams 23
The halftime scoreboard looked bleak to most of the 53,694 fans gathered at Milwaukee County Stadium. The Los Angeles Rams, led by the newly acquired Bert Jones, led the home team 23-0. The Packers were sloppy, turning the ball over five times in the first two quarters.
In the second half, the Pack rallied behind three touchdown tosses by Lynn Dickey and a pair of touchdown runs by Eddie Lee Ivery. John Jefferson caught 6 passes for 116 yards while tight end Paul Coffman had a pair of touchdown grabs. Ivery finished with 109 yards rushing including a 27-yard TD run that clinched the win with 3:06 left in the game.
Linebackers George Cumby and John Anderson each had interceptions late in the game to prevent a Rams comeback.
The 23-point comeback remains tied for the biggest deficit overcome in Packers history. Green Bay matched it in 2013 during a 37-36 win in Dallas.
- September 8, 2011: Packers 42, Saints 34
It was a crazy, exciting and high-scoring game that featured 76 points, 876 total yards, 54 first downs and five touchdowns of 29 yards or more and yet it all came down to one final play by the defense.
With the Packers clinging to an eight-point lead, the Saints drove down the field to the Green Bay 9 with three seconds left. A Drew Brees pass intended for Darren Sproles fell incomplete, but A.J. Hawk was called for interference and the Saints were awarded an untimed down from the one-yard line. On that play, Clay Matthews and Morgan Burnett combined to stuff Mark Ingram and the Packers held on for the win.
Aaron Rodgers finished the game 27-for-35 for 312 yards and three touchdowns. Randall Cobb caught one touchdown pass and returned a kick 108-yards for another score to tie an NFL record.
The Packers never trailed in this game which kicked off their title defense and was the first of 15 wins for the team in the regular season.
- September 27, 1959: Packers 9, Bears 6
Nobody knew what to expect when new head coach Vince Lombardi made his debut with the Packers. The Pack was fresh off a dismal 1-10-1 season and taking on their arch rivals who were 8-4 a year ago.
The Bears led 6-0 early in the fourth quarter before the Packers rallied. Center Jim Ringo recovered a fumbled punt return at the Chicago 27. Five plays later, fullback Jim Taylor ran the ball in for the game's only touchdown. Paul Hornung booted the extra point and the Packers led 7-6. The Packers finished the scoring when Dave "Hawg" Hanner tackled Chicago's Ed Brown in the end zone for a safety.
Taylor led the Green Bay attack with 98 yards on 22 carries. Starting quarterback Lamar McHan completed only three of 12 passes for 81 yards while Hornung completed one more pass on a halfback option.
The Packers players were so excited with the victory that they carried Lombardi off the field on their shoulders on their way to the locker room. The team still had a long way to go, but they had already matched their win total from the previous season on opening day.
In two more years, Lombardi would lead the Packers to the first of five championships. Nobody knew it at the time, but this game was the birth of a dynasty.

FACTS & STATS: Site: H.A. Chapman Stadium (30,000) — Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Television: ESPNews. Home Record: TSU 1-1, Tulsa 1-1. Away Record: TSU 0-1,
Tulsa 0-1. Neutral Record: TSU 0-0, Tulsa 0-0. Conference Record: TSU 0-0,
Tulsa 1-0. Series Record: Tulsa leads, 1-0.
GAME NOTES: The Tulsa Golden Hurricane return home to face the Texas State
Bobcats in a non-conference bout this Saturday night at H.A. Chapman Stadium.
Tulsa has been off since playing its first road game of the year against
Florida Atlantic on Sept. 13. The Golden Hurricane would certainly like to
forget that trip as they were destroyed in a 50-21 final. The loss followed
another demoralizing setback, 52-7 to Oklahoma. Tulsa did win its season and
league opener against Tulane in double overtime (38-31).
Texas State is also sporting a 1-2 record, although it was in action more
recently. The Bobcats visited Illinois last Saturday and fell short in a 42-35
decision. They also lost to Navy (35-21) after rolling over FCS squad
Arkansas-Pine Bluff (65-0) in the season opener.
The only other time these teams met was during the 2003 campaign when Tulsa
ran away with a 41-15 decision.
Despite their poor record, the Bobcats have actually been a productive
offensive team, as they average 538 yards and 40.3 points per game. Even in
their losses to Navy and Illinois, they still managed at least 440 yards of
total offense.
Dual-threat quarterback Tyler Jones is the key for Texas State. Jones has
completed a stunning 71.2 percent of his pass attempts for 845 yards and nine
touchdowns, while being intercepted only twice. He had perhaps his best game
of the season against Illinois, finishing with a season-high 336 yards as well
as four touchdowns. Jones has also rushed for 144 yards and two scores,
ranking second on the team in the former category.
Robert Lowe (349 yards, two TDs) is still the club's primary rushing option.
He has had at least 90 yards in all three games this season, including a 117-
yard effort against the Fighting Illini. He recorded a season-high with 26
carries in that contest.
As far as receiving threats go, there are plenty for Jones to choose from.
Jafus Gaines (11 receptions, 201 yards, three TDs) is the most explosive of
the group, but Bradley Miller (12 receptions, 113 yards), Ben Ijah (10
receptions, 99 yards, two TDs) and even Lowe (10 receptions, 117 yards) are
Since limiting Arkansas-Pine Bluff to 215 yards of total offense, Texas State
has struggled on defense, letting up more than 450 yards to both Navy and
Illinois. In total, the Bobcats are allowing 25.7 points and 389.7 yards per
game, but those numbers will likely keep inflating if a solution isn't found
David Mayo (36 tackles) has been all over the field for the unit. His 36
tackles lead the roster by a large margin, as Craig Mager is second with only
Tulsa hasn't had much difficulty moving the ball, but it has had problems with
scoring. The Golden Hurricane rank fourth in the American Athletic Conference
in total yards (427.7 ypg), but just eighth in points scored (22.0 ppg).
Inefficient play in the red zone is the main culprit, with only eight of 14
chances resulting in points.
Dane Evans runs the squad from under center, but he has struggled with his
accuracy and with avoiding mistakes. He has completed only 53.8 percent of
his pass attempts and has as many touchdowns as interceptions (six). However,
Evans has still found a way to be a potent passer as he is averaging more than
300 yards per game.
Keenan Lucas certainly makes Evans' job easier. Lucas has hauled in 28 passes
for 372 yards and four scores already this season. He leads the AAC in
receiving yards and is tied for the top spot in touchdown receptions with East
Carolina's Trevon Brown. Joshua Atkinson (15 receptions, 174 yards) and
Keyarris Garrett (13 receptions, 197 yards) are the secondary options.
Since Tulsa has usually been playing from behind this season, it has not been
able to produce as much on the ground. James Flanders (134 yards) is the
leading rusher for the team, which has just 342 yards overall. The Golden
Hurricane are also averaging just 3.5 yards per carry.
Defending the run has also been a real struggle for Tulsa, which is letting
foes rack up 6.7 yards per carry. It is not as if the pass defense has been
much better, however, with the team guilty of allowing 44.3 points and 538
yards of total offense per game.
Michael Mudoh (31 tackles) and Trent Martin (30 tackles, 3.5 TFL) are the most
productive defenders, at least in terms of total stops. Neither has helped the
anemic pass rush, which has accumulated only three sacks.
Playing at home should be a major benefit for Tulsa, which desperately needs
to establish some momentum as the rest of the AAC schedule looms. Texas State
may be able to score on the Golden Hurricane, but its own lack of defensive
pressure will hinder it once again.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Tulsa 38, Texas State 33

Why Video Marketing Is Important
I don't know if you've noticed but video has been slowly invading your social media feed in the past year. With apps like TikTok, Stories on both IG and FB, and Reels on IG. It seems like video is the new favorite format being shared on social media.
And it is! But video marketing is also important because humans are visual creatures and we tend to have longer attention spans when it comes to video than text or images.
And despite this, many businesses, in particular small businesses, often leave video out of their marketing efforts because they feel like it is something only bigger corporations get to do. Solely because of fear, budget, time, or skills.
But having a marketing strategy doesn't have to be an out of reach type of content, and it can actually take your business a long way if you start implementing it now.
For starters, video marketing can offer:
Higher conversions.
Improved social reach.
Greater credibility and trust.
Enhances other marketing strategies.
Video is not just a great way to enhance your marketing strategy and position your brand, but it is also a great way of telling your business' story to help you connect with customers or audience on a deeper level.
It allows you to put a human element behind what you are doing. An emotional connection can help you create a larger customer base. So if you take even a small amount of consistent action now, you will begin to see results.

"So…is belly dancing the same as stripping?"
Ugh. Cue the heart palpitations, blood boiling and stomach sinking.
Throughout my years as a professional belly dancer, this has got to be one of the most annoying questions that men ask me.
To take something that requires thousands of hours of hard work and dedication and reduce it by sexualizing it completely misses the point. Belly dance is an elevated art, and in 2021, it deserves more than to be brushed off and viewed through such a simplistic and narrow-minded lens.
Let me be clear: I don't believe there's anything wrong with stripping or "being sexy" by any definition. But for me, there are some key differences between stripping and belly dancing.
Stripping tends to have an external and outward focus, ultimately its meant to evoke desire in an audience. For me, belly dance is more focused inward: on yourself, your joy, and your creative expression.
S-E-X-Y is a four-letter word, with some pretty loaded connotations. For women, this concept has carried a lot of fear, shame and guilt – we're constantly worried about the potential consequences of being "too sexy" while frequently being told that we aren't sexy enough. Talk about a paradox!
I like to think that being sexy is more about empowerment and less about shame, it's about how you think and feel about yourself rather than how others see you. Over the years as a belly dancer, I found that it was easier to cultivate my own unique sense of sexiness when I let go of other people's perceptions. It helped me feel a greater sense of self-love and acceptance.
As a professional belly dancer for 16+ years, I've given a lot of thought about what it means to really be sexy. Here are some of the lessons I've learned about reconnecting with your inner sexiness and feeling amazing in your own skin.
1. The Most Powerful Way To Be Sexy Is To FEEL Sexy
As ironic as it sounds, the least sexy thing a person can do is to try to be sexy: when someone is obviously self-conscious and uncomfortable, things quickly go from vibey to cringey.
The sexiest thing you can do is put all your focus on YOU and less focus on others. Don't feel any pressure to portray sexiness, instead, start feeling yourself from the inside out.
Of course, I'm going to say that belly dance is the best way to cultivate this energy in yourself – but it's not just because I'm biased, I swear!
Belly dance can be a powerful way to keep you grounded and present. Swaying to the rhythm, feeling the music pass through your body, and letting it (literally) move you is a great way to practice this centering – as is any other technique.
Whether you're shimmying while brushing your teeth or doing jazz hands while stuck in traffic, remember that any practice (meditation and yoga included) that helps you to feel comfortable and at ease with yourself is a good thing. Plus, connecting with your own, beautiful inner energy has a certain magnetic quality – meaning that people will automatically be drawn to you.
Music is another good way to activate this vibe: I have a "Sexy" Spotify playlist (yes, that's really what it's called) and as soon as I hit play, I'm instantly accessing my sexy side.
Engaging all your senses can also be a great way to stay present: going for a nature walk, smelling essential oils, taking a relaxing bath, burning some yummy-smelling candles, or napping on soft, squishy pillows can help you get rid of the outside noise and center you back to what's going on inside.
2. Love Your Body Exactly As It Is Today
Let's face it- we're always going to have days where we don't feel our best – physically, mentally, or emotionally. I can't tell you how many times I had to perform when I'd just gotten my period – feeling bloated, uncomfortable, and tight in my costume. Even though I felt anything but sexy, the show had to go on, which means I did too.
But simply showing up and doing what I needed to do made me realize that I could still feel good about myself and accept and love my body – no matter how things seemed at the time.
Don't get me wrong: self-love as a woman is an Olympic sport these days. Billion-dollar beauty and diet industries are constantly profiting off our self-hate and trying to define what it means to be beautiful, attractive, and desirable – particularly for heterosexual women. Thanks to societal pressure and social media, everything from your weight to the shape of your eyebrows is being dissected – into what's acceptable and what isn't.
That's why it's important to remember: No matter what weight, size or shape you are, loving your body exactly AS IT IS in this very moment is the sexiest thing you can do for yourself. Getting into the mindset of self-love and finding joy within is the most powerful flex of all.
3. Embrace Your Feminine Curves
Fun fact: women have curves, whether they're apparent or not. One of the most magical things about belly dance in that it celebrates the female form – including, to quote Bridget Jones, the "wobbly bits". In fact, the curvier you are, the better it is, as a little extra flesh can really show off each, beautiful movement.
Not to say that having a six-pack isn't an achievement – it's an art on its own. The important thing to remember though is that women have curves for a reason: our bodies were designed to create and support life. Trying to achieve leanness isn't necessarily a bad thing but doing so for the wrong reasons can really be an uphill battle.
Instead, focus your energy on celebrating the way nature designed your body and remember that the female form is magical and powerful – in every shape and size.
4. Dress & Adorn Yourself in Things That Make You Feel Sexy
There's this very cool concept of "adorning yourself" that's been around for centuries. Beautifying and expressing your personal style externally has long been a way for women to make themselves look and feel sexy.
When I wear a beautiful costume while belly dancing, I feel instantly sexy and attractive – it makes me want to hold my head higher and show myself off! Not only is this an energy boost, but it's also a great boost to the self-esteem too.
Even if you're not dressing up for belly dance, the idea of adorning yourself can easily be applied to your everyday life. That's not to say that you should spend every minute of the day obsessing over what you wear. Rather, it means taking a little bit of time to assess your closet to find something that'll boost your confidence and make you feel sexy. The upside of this practice is that highlighting and accentuating your features isn't just limited to clothes, it also means wearing jewelry or doing your hair or make-up too.
Adorn yourself in a way that's going to make you feel like the goddess you truly are, channel and embody an energy that makes you feel good.
5. Connect With Your Passion & Joy
With our busy schedules, its easy to lose track of what brings us joy and passion. Finding activities or hobbies that make you happy, while keeping you grounded and present can bring you harmony– and there's nothing sexier than someone who's at peace with themselves.
Connecting with things that ignite your passion and bring you joy is probably the easiest way to become attractive. After all, who doesn't love the sight of someone's face lighting up when they talk about something they're really passionate about?
You'll find that when you're having fun, you'll radiate an energy that will draw others to you – like a magnetic force. If you feel like you've lost touch with what brings you joy, or you're not sure what you're passionate about, try sitting down with your thoughts for a minute to figure it out. You can also find and connect with your own personal Passion Blueprint. A cool side-effect of being connected to yourself? You won't care about who finds you sexy and who doesn't.
Ultimately for me, belly dancing has never been about being sexy. Instead, I like to think of it as an exercise in feeling joyful and getting to share that joy with others. And isn't that what true attraction – and being sexy – is all about?

eight) Your job would not swimsuit a home. Let's face it: houses imply work. It's a must to be sure the whole lot runs, and that the lawn is neat. If you happen to travel extensively or work lengthy hours, you do not have time to take care of upkeep. Residing in a condo, nonetheless, takes some of the load off your shoulders.
• Spring: Repairing roof from snow and ice harm; fertilizing lawn, cleaning and repairing gutters; monitoring basement and foundation for cracks and bugs. 6) Add texture not litter As a result of scratching is such an instinctive behavior, it is almost unimaginable to get a cat to stop scratching completely. Your finest wager is to redirect your kitty's consideration to a scratching put up, or a cat tree that includes areas for scratching.
It adverts coloration, or sample, or a crisp new feeling.
7) You need to de-muddle. Typically folks transfer from houses to condos after kids have moved away, they've divorced, or they wish to downsize. If the upkeep of a house is an excessive amount of so that you can deal with lately, cutting down your possessions and shifting right into a smaller condo is probably the suitable step to take.
Most significantly, downsizing will save you cash. In case you're staying in the identical space, you need not rush a sale; tell your actual property broker you could watch for the precise buyer, on the proper value. You don't need to jump on the first provide if it's significantly below what you wish to get. Your broker can simultaneously be on the lookout for a extra appropriate home or condominium for you to buy. If it is advisable generate cash out of your swap, let your dealer know how much money you want, and she or he will know the way aggressively to price your private home, and what your value vary for a new home shall be.
Not like Esparina, it isn't near an MRT station.
On the other hand, you might be shopping for a condominium now with the intention of creating it your major residence sooner or later but plan on renting it until that point comes. Some condominium firms may have restrictions on your means to lease out your unit. You possibly can get hold of this data from the Rules and Rules part of the Status Certificate.
3. As well as companies, too! Whereas talking about amenities, you can find fabulous companies available at many new condominium buildings and properties. From concierge plan to valet service and 24-hour security, expect your needs and needs to be fulfilled for those who buy a newer condo. Many upscale services are owned by condo house owners in cities and high-rise condo buildings. Once once more, you'll in all probability pay more for any condominium if it has resident providers, but having someone valet park your car following a long journey to the office is admittedly invaluable for most condo owners!
Would you prefer a resort, bed and breakfast, cabin or hostel? For those who resolve upon a resale condo you will be able to physically examine the constructing as well as the unit itself. My brother, sister and I then hauled in crates and baggage of delicacies from the household station wagon.

A duet Juvin – Bertrand now leads the CPGs team
Laurent Juvin recently joined Sandrine Bertrand as team-leader of the team CPGs (Coordination et Plasticité des Générateurs Spinaux), at INCIA. Associate professor, he's been working at INCIA since 2011. He's presenting his team.
In our team, we aim at studying how the mammalian spinal neural networks produce the locomotor activity. We are particularly interested in (1) how the different intra- and extraspinal neuromodulatory influences received by the spinal motor networks could shape the motor output, (2) to assess the plastic properties of these spinal networks and (3) to understand the interactions between spinal motor networks and other neuronal networks engaged during locomotion such as the axial network, the respiratory network and more recently the sympathetic nervous system in charge of the vascular control.
These different points are studied in physiological condition and in pathophysiological situations such as after a spinal cord injury that disconnects the spinal networks from the descending pathways and in a murine model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of spinal motoneurons.
Finally, we are also interested in the effects that these motor neural networks could undergo during development following maternal exposure to certain potentially toxic substances such as metal nanoparticles (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide).
This domain was the topic of a video (in french) in 2018 :

Again 89% - Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 Developer Certification
07 Sep 2004Today I cleared Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 Developer Certification with 89%. Yes, 89%, the same percentage I got in Macromedia Flash MX Developer Certification.
Today was holiday, so slept entire day. I woke around 3:00 PM and made my mind to take this exam. I called up to local VUE authorized center (DEXLER, Bangalore) and took a time.
Literaly, no prepartion just practical experiences with Dreamweaver helped me to get a score of 89%. I am feeling good...
Flash MX 2004 Developer exam is next in queue.
If you are looking for some hints, as I said above, practical experience is important. Reading a book and passing the exam would be an exceptional case. I recommend, playing with Dreamweaver MX 2004, reading help docs and following sample tutorials in help. That's it, you will have enough confidence to face any question. And don't forget to look at the exam guidlines and sample questions on macromedia.com. It would really help you while preparation.
Hope it helps..

Long-term investors are faced with a host of difficulties. As a strategy, "buy and hold" has been a dud over the last decade. Diversification sometimes helps, but when it's most needed it usually doesn't. Jay Pestrichelli and Wayne Ferbert offer an add-on in Buy and Hedge: The 5 Iron Rules for Investing Over the Long Term (FT Press, 2012). As the title indicates, they suggest that investors use options to hedge their stock positions.
The basic premise is both simple and sound. Risk is the input to your portfolio, return is the output. This means that you can control risk, not return. Put another way, risk is what you buy, return is what you hope for.
The authors hammer this point home over and over, and they're wise to do so since investors invariably focus on the potential reward of their position, not on the actual risk they are incurring. Yet they might just as easily be pinning their hopes on Enron as on Apple. Stock picking is tough.
And so, the authors argue, the solution is to define risk. Ideally, every investment should be hedged. Alternatively, the portfolio as a whole can be hedged. The authors outline a range of strategies, from married puts, collars, and ITM options to vertical and diagonal spreads, to accomplish this goal.
Since for the most part the authors view options as hedging vehicles, not speculative instruments, the focus is on risk management. They boil risk management down to four metrics, all of which should be used in analyzing a portfolio: capital at risk, volatility, implied leverage, and correlation.
Implied leverage may be an unfamiliar concept, so let me describe it briefly. First, what it is not: it is not using margin to buy stock. Rather, it focuses on the power of options to create leverage for a portfolio. That is, if an investor uses options to create exposure to equities and ETFS, he likely uses less capital than if he had bought or shorted the equity or ETF directly.
The authors offer the following example. "Suppose an S&P 500 ETF is trading at exactly $100 per share. You open an account with $100,000 in cash. Then you purchase ten Options contracts that are calls with a $90 strike price that expire six months from today…. The price of these Options is $11 per share…. Since a contract has 100 shares, the total price is $11,000. And with these ten contracts, you control 1,000 shares…." (pp. 81-82) The $100,000 portfolio is comprised of $11,000 in the SPY call options and $89,000 in cash. The implied leverage in this case is 1.0, calculated by using the formula (total market value of nonderivative securities + implied equity value for each derivatives position) / (total portfolio value – borrowed money).
If you add 2,000 shares of MSFT trading at $25 a share, your $100,000 portfolio now has an implied leverage of 1.5 because it controls the $100,000 of implied equity value plus $50,000 worth of MSFT. The numerator is now $150,000, and the denominator doesn't change. The portfolio with the higher implied leverage gains more in an up market and loses more in a down market. If, for instance, SPY and MSFT both increase by 10%, the first portfolio will be worth about $109,750 and the second portfolio $114,750. If they both decrease by 10%, the first portfolio will be worth $91,000 and the second $86,000.
The authors conclude that "too much leverage increases your portfolio's volatility by increasing the portfolio's rate of change. The recommendation from Buy and Hedge is to avoid all excess leverage. Your implied leverage should always be 1.0 or lower. Your traditional leverage should always be 1.0 also." (p. 85) Advanced investors who are looking for specific risk trades will end up with implied leverage well past 1.0, but the authors are trying to steer investors away from taking on speculative options risk. They are first and foremost hedgers.
Throughout the book the authors offer advice for long-term investors. For example, in the chapter "Harvest Your Gains and Losses" they identify when to reset your hedge in an investment that has an unrealized gain. Their suggestion is that once the unrealized gain of an investment is at least 50% of the total capital at risk for that investment, you should consider resetting the hedge to lock in gains.
Buy and Hedge is an eminently practical book for the long-term investor—and there are mighty few such books around these days.

In physics, an electric field or E-field is an effect produced by an electric charge that exerts a force on charged objects in its vicinity. The units of the electric field are newtons per coulomb or volts per meter (both are equivalent). Electric fields are composed of photons and contain electrical energy with energy density proportional to the square of the field intensity. In the static case, an electric field is composed of virtual photons being exchanged by the charged particle(s) creating the field. In the dynamic case the electric field is accompanied by a magnetic field, by a flow of energy, and by real photons.
The mathematical definition of the electric field is developed as follows. Coulomb's law gives the force between two point charges (infinitesimally small charged objects) as
In the SI system of units, force is given in newtons, charge in coulombs, and distance in metres. Thus, ε0 has units of C²/(N·m²).
This was known empirically. Suppose one of the charges is taken to be fixed, and the other one to be a moveable "test charge". Note that according to this equation, the force on the test object is proportional to its charge. The electric field is defined as the proportionality constant between charge and force:
However, note that this equation is only true in the case of electrostatics, that is to say, when there is nothing moving. The more general case of moving charges causes this equation to become the Lorentz equation.
The above paragraph is perhaps misleading that the equation could refer to electrodynamics by referring to a "moveable test charge"; however, it is important to understand that by "moveable", this means that the charge can be moved to, and held at, any position.
In the case of electrostatics, where velocity of both particles is zero, the above equation holds.
According to Equation (1) above, electric field is dependent on position. The electric field due to any single charge falls off as the square of the distance from that charge.
Electric fields follow the superposition principle. If more than one charge is present, the total electric field at any point is equal to the vector sum of the respective electric fields that each object would create in the absence of the others.
If this principle is extended to an infinite number of infinitesimally small elements of charge, the following formula results:
where ρ is the charge density , or the amount of charge per unit volume.
The electric field is equal to minus the gradient of the electric potential. If several spatially distributed charges generate such an electric potential, e.g. in a solid, an electric field gradient may be defined.

In this article, I want to tell you about the latest Bluetooth earbuds from Xiaomi with active noise cancellation.
Also, the new Xiaomi Mi Air 2 Pro has a 12mm driver, wireless charging, and battery life up to 28 hours with a charging case.
OK, let's talk about the main features of the new earbuds, and then I will tell you where you can buy them and for how much.
Original Xiaomi Air 2 Pro TWS bluetooth Earphone - Banggood
As you can see, the new Xiaomi looks different from the previous version – Xiaomi Mi Air 2. First, the new earbuds are black. There is no information about the white version yet.
The earbuds have a glossy outside, and it looks like they have a touch button control.
On top, we can see a physical button. It turns ANC on and off.
By the way, Xiaomi Mi Air 2 Pro comes with silicone eartips of different sizes.
The manufacturer says that one earbud weighs only 6.5 grams, while the weight of the earbuds with the charging case is 60 grams.
Talking about the main features of Xiaomi Mi Air 2 Pro, first, this is active noise cancellation. It is a very useful function that removes background noise such as metro, vehicles, airplanes, and so on.
The new Xiaomi earbuds have hybrid digital noise reduction. The noise reduction level is 35dB.
You should also know that Mi Air 2 Pro is equipped with a 12mm driver and LCP liquid crystal composite diaphragm. The sound quality should be great.
By the way, Xiaomi's new earbuds have not only active noise canceling, but also transparent mode. You can activate this mode to hear what is going on around you.
The battery life of Xiaomi Mi Air 2 Pro is 7 hours on a single charge and 28 hours with a charging case. That's very good.
Price and Buy
So, the new Xiaomi earbuds with active noise cancellation are already on sale in China for the price of $104. However, they are not available on Aliexpress, Banggood, and GearBest. When they will be, I will leave the links to buy Xiaomi Mi Air 2 Pro in the description under the article.
Also, I will try to buy the new Xiaomi earbuds and make unboxing and a full review of them.
