Topic: Xserve
Editorial: Does Apple have the mettle to fight for Mac success in the Pro market?
10/17/2019, 08:10 am

Split the Cost — Not the Marriage
The Wedding Guru Judy Lewis fields this week's wedding questions. Today: Split the Cost — Not the Marriage
Sheryl asks: "My son is getting married. His father and I are divorced from each other and have both remarried. We are expected to pay for half of the rehearsal dinner — I just received an email from my ex-husband with the quote from the caterer attached. He's assuming my husband and I are paying without any communication about this. What's the etiquette for this situation? If his dad and I were still married, he would not expect ME to pay half. I'm not sure how to deal with this situation."
Dear Sheryl: There is a "tradition" about who pays for what for a child's wedding, but these are just guidelines and there are no wedding police to enforce the division of costs. The proper way to deal with wedding costs is for all the parties to sit down together, discuss, and work out the details to everyone's satisfaction. It's inappropriate to be sent costs that you are then told to pay.
Please note that my sources say that the groom's site paying for the rehearsal dinner is optional. If you can't all get together, then maybe you should have a heart to heart with your son and explain to him what you can — and are willing to — contribute to the wedding, and to what degree, if any, you want to be included in the way the money is used. It seems quite clear that someone in your family needs to open and clear the lines of communication. I hope this helps and wish you much good luck!

Cornmeal-Crusted Chicken Nuggets with Blackberry Mustard
Tossing chicken tenders with cornmeal gives these chicken nuggets great crunch without deep-frying. Blackberries (or raspberries, if you prefer) combined with whole-grain mustard make for a sweet-and-savory dipping sauce. Serve with: Steamed broccoli and carrots. Source: EatingWell Magazine, July/August 2010
Mash blackberries (or raspberries), mustard and honey in a small bowl until it looks like a chunky sauce.Advertisement
Sprinkle chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Place cornmeal in a medium bowl, add the chicken and toss to coat (discard any leftover cornmeal).
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook the chicken, turning once or twice, until browned and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes total (thinner nuggets will cook faster than thicker ones). Serve the chicken nuggets with the berry mustard.
Tip: Chicken tenders are the lean strips of rib meat typically found attached to the underside of chicken breasts. They can also be purchased separately. Four 1-ounce tenders will yield a 3-ounce cooked portion. Tenders are perfect for quick stir-fries, chicken satay or kid-friendly breaded "chicken nuggets."

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
ROANOKE, Va. - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today announced a $1 million settlement of a class action race and gender discrimination lawsuit against Optical Cable Corporation, a high-tech employer and publicly held company that manufactures fiber-optic cables. EEOC's suit alleged that Optical Cable violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by failing to hire African-American applicants for a 10-year period, by assigning women to lower paying positions than their similarly situated male counterparts, and by wrongfully discharging a former African-American employee based on his race.
EEOC's investigation of Optical Cable began in October 1996 shortly after charging party Douglas Bonds was fired by the company after less than four weeks on the job. Mr. Bonds, only the second African-American hired by Optical Cable since it opened for business in 1983, alleged that he was denied training and fired solely because of his race.
In the course of its investigation, in addition to finding merit in Mr. Bonds' case, EEOC found widespread violations in Optical Cable's hiring practices involving African-Americans in general.
In addition, EEOC found that the company discriminated against females in job assignments on the basis of sex by refusing to place them in higher paying positions for which they were qualified. EEOC filed suit against Optical Cable in September 2000 after conciliation efforts failed to reach a voluntary pre-litigation settlement.
"I am very pleased that we were able to negotiate a successful resolution of this lawsuit," said EEOC Chair Cari M. Dominguez. "Now Optical Cable can turn its full attention back to the important task of maintaining a healthy work environment, one that offers a level-playing field for all employees and job applicants, irrespective of race, color, and gender. We commend Optical Cable for its forward-thinking approach to resolving this case and extend an invitation to all employers to work in partnership with EEOC as Optical Cable has done to achieve workplace equality."
Douglas Bonds, whose race discrimination charge led to EEOC's investigation, noted: "I feel very good about having this case resolved. People should be judged for what they do and not what they look like."
The settlement provides for a claims procedure in which Optical Cable will make three installments into a settlement fund over the next three years to satisfy the claims of class members, including African-Americans who unsuccessfully applied for employment at the company since October 1, 1994. EEOC and Optical Cable have agreed to donate any unclaimed portion of the settlement to projects furthering equal employment opportunities in the Roanoke community. In addition, the company has agreed to take steps to recruit and hire qualified African-American applicants and to communicate these efforts to minority communities in and around Roanoke. Optical Cable also will take steps to recruit and hire qualified women candidates for higher paying positions.
Gloria Underwood, Director of EEOC' s Richmond Area Office, which led the investigation, said: "Our investigation revealed that in the past Optical Cable had not demonstrated a commitment to providing equal employment opportunities to qualified African-Americans and women. EEOC is hopeful that this settlement will mark a change in Optical Cable's employment policies and establish the company as a model corporation in offering equal employment opportunities to all segments of Roanoke's population."
Gerald S. Kiel, Regional Attorney for the EEOC's Baltimore District Office, which has jurisdiction over Virginia, said: "We are confident that this settlement will not only offer compensation to those persons harmed in the past, but will also solidify the improvements Optical Cable has made in its employment practices and ensure that these improved practices continue in the future."
In addition to enforcing Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, religion, and retaliation, EEOC enforces the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; the Equal Pay Act; Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits employment discrimination against people with disabilities in the private sector and state and local governments; prohibitions against discrimination affecting individuals with disabilities in the federal government; and sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1991. Further information about the Commission is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Pitbull vs. Fallon in Giant Duff Beer Pong Game
Jimmy Fallon's love for turning basic drinking games into outsized (often, quite literally) versions of themselves is well documented, but the 'Tonight Show' host just might have reached the apex of his drinking game adoration when he challenged Pitbull (Mr. Worldwide, please) to a round of Giant Duff Beer Pong. Wait, why Duff? Because Fallon and his show have been camped out at Universal Studios in Orlando all week, and yes, this game is all about Duff Beer, the favorite fictional beer of 'The Simpsons.'
But that's not what's special about this game — it's how Pitbull finally reveals the source of all his powers during a particularly low point in the game. It's…tight.

What's in a logo
Though coming up with a name and logo doesn't have to be the first step in developing a brand, some say it can be helpful to have a concrete visual early on for people to see.
For his part, Bailey believes the logo should be chosen right off the bat, and he says a freelance graphic designer can be just as good as a large firm in coming up with one.
"To me, the image, or the essence of the brand, is what it is all about and shows what story we are telling with the food," he says. "It has to go hand in hand."
Yohn says it is important to pick the logo early on for the sake of the shareholders who will need to support the brand before the customers. She says a designer should be given general ideas about the logo rather than specific ones.
"Tell the professional what the attributes are of the logo that you want and what you are trying to communicate about the brand, but let them decide the best way to express that in a logo," Yohn says.
It's all about location
Picking a location for the first restaurant involves multiple considerations. The first is the geographic market. Operators must first decide what city and state in which to launch the new quick serve. This includes researching which concepts have failed, which have succeeded, and what the market is like in different cities in order to find the right target audience, the experts say.
After deciding to open the new modern Italian fast-casual concept, Howard and his team researched five major cities as potential launching grounds. He says it's important to have confidence in the market before breaking ground because financial support will trail off if a concept has already failed in one location.
The second factor playing into the location decision is figuring out whether or not to construct a new building or use an existing space. Vojnovic of Little Greek says retrofitting old restaurants is useful because it can cut an investment by half.
Operators must also be patient; a site search for a first restaurant should take time.
"You really want to learn your area and you really want to take the time to make sure it looks like what you want," Schaden says. "And then, once you're sure, you've got to make sure it fits your economic model."
While site selection should be a carefully planned process, Bailey says, a failed restaurant doesn't necessarily mean a bad location.
"I think good operators of the concept can succeed in almost any location," he says.
"You have to make yourself a destination. But if it is a good concept, people will come to it."
Give it some pizazz
Illinois-based Aria Group Architects has designed close to 2,000 restaurants worldwide, many of which were new startups. Though it is possible to come up with an in-store design without using a professional designer, president Jim Lencioni says, the creativity a designer or architect brings to a startup is well worth the cost because it gives a brand distinction and identity and ensures that a restaurant will have a clean, easy-flowing space.
He says the in-store design should take into account every physical aspect of the space, from the floors to the lighting, ceilings, counters, and walls. The process, he adds, should be less about simple decorating and more about utilizing the architecture and branding.
"One thing about quick serve is you want it to be attractive, but you also want to move the people through it," he says.
And while it is helpful for a designer to have a brand logo in hand to help influence the in-store design, Lencioni says, often the logo and in-store design process happen at the same time; such was the case for Aria Group's recent client, Swirlcup.
Whatever you do, don't slouch on the food
Creating menu offerings is usually a process of trial and error. There are consulting companies that develop recipes and menus using their own chefs. Howard and his team, for example, used the Culinary Edge in San Francisco to develop the menu for their modern Italian concept.
Any entrepreneur developing their menu in-house, meanwhile, should remember that testing the product with potential customers before the store even opens is a must, Bailey says. He suggests renting a table at a local festival or food contest to get the food into strangers' hands.
"Your friends and your family are going to say nice things," Bailey says. "But local events are going to tell you whether or not people are willing to pay for it, and strangers will give you feedback."
Throw open the doors
Social media can help attract a lot of customers on the first day in business, Yohn says, but it must be used with the specific market in mind. Community outreach and hosting preview nights are also ways to build a local fan base before the restaurant even opens, she says.
"Depending on the location and the market, having really breakthrough signage that says 'grand opening' very visibly and all the awareness building things that people do with balloons and flags is really important so people know you exist," Yohn says.
While the grand opening is important, a "soft launch" of the restaurant before the official opening can ensure things are running correctly for the first week or two. Live Basil Pizza, for example, opened the Friday before Memorial Day weekend, an infamously slow weekend for restaurants.
Schaden says the soft launch was for the best because the team could focus their attention on getting the restaurant's baking schedules nailed down before they had to think about promoting the brand.
"When you open the doors, you have to make them say 'mmmm' when they eat, and if you can do that, that is the best advertising you can get," he says.
Take it slow and steady
Though there are undoubtedly thousands of tips, tricks, and pieces of advice for successfully launching a startup, perhaps the most significant is making sure the process isn't rushed.
"Make sure you take the time to get it right," Schaden says. "If you are not sure you have the right product and that you can duplicate that product customer after customer, you'll be short on your success. Ultimately, the food wins today. [Even if] you are ready for financing and you pick a great site, all of those great things are really ancillary to the food."

Menopause does not signal the end of female sexuality. In fact, many women find that intimacy is enhanced in midlife.
Several years ago Judy realized she was no longer getting her period, her vagina was drier than usual, and sexual arousal was taking longer. She began to worry that her sex life would soon disappear.
She had heard that women lose their interest in and ability to have sex after menopause. But since she started using a little artificial lubricant and adjusted her expectations, she's found that she enjoys sex more than ever. She especially likes the extra time that she and her husband spend stroking and cuddling before they try to reach orgasm.
Like Judy, many women fear that menopause signals the end of their sexual desirability and pleasure. This fear comes from stereotypes about older woman as unattractive and asexual. In addition, loss of the ability to bear children may become confused with loss of sexual desire.
The reality is that the need for and capacity to have satisfying sexual relationships does not disappear as a natural or irreversible part of aging in women or men. How you perceive and deal with the changes can have a significant impact on your sexual health and pleasure. Some women have a reawakening of sexual interest when they are no longer concerned about getting pregnant and adult or older children require less time and attention. However, the experience varies from woman to woman.
Changes at Menopause That May Affect Sexuality
Physiologic changes at menopause can sometimes affect sexual activity and desire in some women. Changes may occur in lubrication, the vaginal walls, arousal, orgasm, and sex drive that make sex less comfortable and enjoyable.
Vaginal Dryness and Pain During Intercourse
The most common problem is vaginal dryness, although not every women will experience it. The vaginal walls may also become thinner and less flexible. Itching, burning, and occasional pain may occur during intercourse.
Over-the-counter water-based lubricants can help with vaginal dryness. Do not use petroleum-based lubricants, such as Vaseline, because they may cause latex condoms to weaken.
If lubricants are not sufficient, vaginal estrogen cream, rings, or tablets may be helpful. These products are prescribed by your doctor.
Stimulation and Orgasm
Some women have fewer and less intense orgasms when they reach menopause. It may take more time and stimulation to become aroused. For all women, having intercourse or masturbating regularly can help increase sexual responsiveness and pleasure. Kegel exercises, contractions of the pelvic muscle near the vagina, can also help strengthen the vaginal muscles.
Sexual Desire
Loss of interest in sex, temporary or long-term, occurs in some women during and after menopause. There are a range of possible causes for this, such as:
- Stress
- Difficulty sleeping
- Illness
- Bladder control problems
- Relationship problems
- Psychological issues
- Side effects from medicine
- Hormonal changes
- Discomfort from the physical changes of menopause
Relationship problems tend to be the cause of decreased sexual desire only when there have been ongoing difficulties in the relationship. These difficulties may increase with menopause. If this is the case, consider seeing a therapist who specializes in sexuality.
If the problem is hormonal, estrogen may help. However, its effect is generally on the physical changes, such as vaginal dryness and pain during intercourse.
A natural decrease in testosterone at menopause might play a role in sexual desire, although this remains unproven. Testosterone is available in pills, injections, and creams, but side effects are a major concern.
Increased Intimacy
The changes that take place in midlife can provide an opportunity to explore new and different sexual experiences. Men also go through changes, such as needing more time and stimulation to become aroused. The slower, more sensuous foreplay that often results is a welcome change for some women.
Increased focus on sensuality, intimacy, and communication can help a sexual relationship become more rewarding than ever. There are many ways of expressing your love besides intercourse:
- Hugging, cuddling, kissing
- Touching, stroking, massage, sensual baths
- Manual stimulation
- Oral sex
Sexual relationships after menopause can indeed be satisfying if you are able to adapt to the changes that occur.
A Note About Birth Control and Safe Sex
You will need to continue using birth control until you have not had a period for 12 months in a row. However, protection against sexually transmitted diseases , including HIV/AIDS, remains a concern. Unless you are in a monogamous relationship, be sure to use a male latex condom.

Adopted by the Board of Directors of Citizens for Midwifery, 22 May 1997
The education, credentialing and licensing of midwives are of critical concern to consumers, because they determine whether or not childbearing women will be able to get the kind of midwifery care they want and need.
CfM encourages the development and use of accredited midwifery education programs. By setting specific standards and requiring accountability, accreditation of midwifery educational programs can benefit both midwives and consumers.
Accreditation standards and requirements should be reasonably achievable by a wide variety of programs representing diversity of location, cost, duration and teaching methods – from individualized hands-on learning programs to formal academically-based programs. Increased availability of accredited midwifery education programs would help to meet consumer needs for more midwives and for diversity in the style and setting of midwifery care.
Clinical experience should include hands-on experiences in out-of-hospital settings in the areas of prenatal, intrapartal, postpartal, neonatal, and family planning care, as well as experience in early recognition of and appropriate responses to abnormal conditions. Clinical experience in out-of-hospital settings is essential for understanding and learning to responsibly provide the Midwifery Model of Care.
CfM recognizes that both the Midwifery Education Accreditation Council (MEAC) and the American College of Nurse-Midwives/Division of Accreditation (ACNM/DOA) are appropriate accrediting bodies for midwifery education, but neither one alone meets all midwifery education accreditation needs.
Consumers should participate in the review of accreditation standards for midwifery education.
CfM recognizes that both the Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) and the Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM) credentials help meet the consumer need for identifying competent midwives who are accountable to their peers.
Midwifery credentials should be attainable by midwives who have achieved mastery of the knowledge and skills necessary to practice entry-level midwifery, and should not be limited only to midwives who have completed university-based programs.
Consumers should fully participate in reviewing and improving credential standards and processes.
CfM promotes the legal recognition of the CPM credential in every jurisdiction; supports enactment of licensing laws that provide for the autonomous practice of direct-entry midwifery in all settings; and encourages community-based midwifery.

It's four o'clock on the fifth floor of Claridge's, and the Diana movie is in trouble. I am here to interview Naomi Watts about her star turn as the Princess of Wales. "There's been a change of plan," the PR explains briskly. "You'll be interviewing Naomi and the director Oliver Hirschbiegel," she says without explanation.
As I have been up until the small hours watching highlights of Watts's career (the masterpiece Mulholland Drive, a tender turn as the teeny blonde cupped in a hairy hand in King Kong, a recent gruelling portrait of a tsunami survivor in The Impossible), this is bad news. Even by the paranoid standards of movie junkets, something is obviously very wrong. As the last interviewer of the day, I'm guessing that the actress has had some uncomfortable questions about her decision to play the Princess, and Hirschbiegel has been brought in to direct the flak away from her and talk Germanly about camera angles. Danke schön.
It's not till I get home a few hours later that I discover Watts had actually walked out on an interview earlier with Simon Mayo for his Radio 5 Live show. This does rather explain the mood of the Diana PR team, roughly as chilled as the crew on the Titanic an hour after the ship hit the iceberg.
It becomes clear that I am in the middle of a damage-limitation exercise, when the producer explains that the film is not a Hollywood biopic. "It's a British movie, made by a British company," he says. I'm not sure how that makes it better. If anything, it's worse.
As Brits, they should have known that any attempt to portray the Princess would risk charges of bad taste and exploitation. (Far shrewder and safer to have opened the picture in the States, where they could have claimed that Diana was now happily living with a Hell's Angel in Honolulu and everyone would have thought it was simply adorable.)
It's 16 years this week since the Princess of Wales met her death in that Stygian Paris underpass, pursued by paparazzi. "The most hunted person of the modern age," was her brother Charles's bitterly brilliant description in his funeral address. Death diminished, but has never extinguished, the Diana coverage.
Lately, there has been a spate of renewed interest, partly because of the birth of the Princess's first grandchild, and partly triggered by the movie, which focuses on the last two years of her life, when she had a love affair with the Pakistani heart surgeon Hasnat Khan.
The current issue of Vanity Fair has the Princess on its cover – the last and loveliest of Mario Testino's portraits, in which she seemed to be dissolving in her own radiance. Meanwhile, conspiracy theories continue to be recycled, the latest featuring an SAS hit squad.
Bad enough to lose one's mother so young, as the Duke of Cambridge did, never mind having to endure speculation that she was murdered by the state of which you will one day be the head. If he and Prince Harry can be forgiven for not wanting to see Naomi Watts in a bad wig on the side of every London bus, then public enthusiasm for the project is also in short supply.
"Seriously," began a typical comment on Twitter, "what is the purpose of this new #Diana film? What does it hope to achieve? Allow the lady to Rest in Peace! Show Some Respect."
Showing some respect for the lady is what I am expected to do at Claridge's. Only this time it's ruffled Hollywood royalty that demands deference. "You're a fan of Naomi's, right?" says the PR before opening a door into the star's presence. "Yes, I'm a huge fan," I say. And I am. Watts is a wonderful actress who has never quite got her due. Doomed to play second fiddle to her close friend and fellow Australian Nicole Kidman, Watts is a more subtle performer, who can disappear so wholly into a role (see her cheating wife in The Painted Veil) that you hardly register it's her at all.
Watts, who is now 45 in human years – about 64 in the age of a Hollywood leading lady – must know that time is running out. She says she turned down the part twice, but eventually the lure of such a major mainstream movie proved too great.
A perfect mini-person, Watts is tucked into the far corner of a plump Claridge's sofa alongside the voluble, bald Hirschbiegel. She is smiling and friendly, but I can practically see the frantic speech bubble above her head. "What the hell have I done?"
I congratulate her on her bravery in moving from a tsunami film to the shark-infested waters of Diana imitation. Watts laughs. "It was very daunting. Normally when you're inventing a character, you start from the inside. With Diana, I had to go in the reverse direction. Dealing with the most famous woman of our time, I had to get the look, the walk and the talk as familiar as possible."
Hirschbiegel butts in to say that Naomi's resemblance to the Princess is spooky. "Sometimes I felt I was watching a ghost," he says. "It's not just the technical side of it, it's not about a nose or hair, at least half of it is coming from within. She becomes that character – it's in the eyes, basically."
He's right. The film was panned universally yesterday, but critics were so busy relishing the awful dialogue that they didn't mention quite how good Watts is, how uncannily she captures the Princess's mannerisms. Although the actress is five inches shorter, she does the flirtatious sideways glances and lowered-eyelid bashfulness perfectly, not to mention that tiny wry twist of the lips which was the Princess's punctuation when awkwardness overcame her.
Few actors, let alone foreign ones, can enter the OK-yah groves of Sloanedom and emerge intact. Watts, who lived on Anglesey till she was 14 and still has a British passport, is the Princess to a breathy tee. No actress could possibly have done the part better; whether it should have been done at all is another matter.
The main problem with Diana is that it is tasteless. I don't just mean crass and exploitative. The whole thing is so painfully well-intentioned and saccharine that it lacks any taste or flavour. The Princess's relationship with Khan (played by the divine Naveen Andrews) is like a doctor and princess book from the Mills & Boon stable.
There is no sign of the borderline-bonkers woman who made hundreds of nuisance calls to another crush, the art dealer Oliver Hoare. Because Dodi Fayed spoils the film's thesis that the Princess was still in love with Hasnat Khan when she died, the hapless Dodi is given a non-speaking part, which is strange when you consider that the Princess spent the last few weeks of her life in a relationship with him. The film also deliberately ignores the central relationship of the Princess's life – with her boys.
There is a brief glimpse of William and Harry saying goodbye to their mother at an airport, but otherwise she is shown as a singleton with a retinue of healers. "It somehow felt as if we would step over a line that didn't feel right," explains Hirschbiegel. "It was very important to show that Diana was a loving mother, but it just becomes something different when you see her do that with the actual boys because they are still alive… It felt wrong."
So the film lacks the courage of its own exploitativeness. It is happy to depict love scenes, the truth of which can only be known by two people, one of whom is now tragically dead. And Hasnat Khan, who was pictured a few days ago, alive and tubby and living in Brentford, has said it is "completely wrong" and "based on gossip".
"Yeah, but we did thorough research," says Hirschbiegel. A man previously best known for directing Downfall, a celebrated film about Hitler, he admits he didn't know anything about the Princess before he took the project on. "I never cared about her, to be honest. I was surprised by how many facets I discovered."
A German with imperfect English and no previous knowledge of the Princess of Wales seems an odd choice of director, but then this is a very bizarre film. When I tell Hirschbiegel that most of the royal reporting he calls "research" is completely invented, he winces, but Watts lets out an uproarious laugh. If she found out that the princes were upset by her portrayal of their mother, would she be upset?
"Of course I'd feel bad about it," she says nervously. "At the same time, they're not boys anymore. They're men. They're aware of the level of interest that's still there. But, you know, I'm sure they'd expect that, with someone who is that famous and creates that much interest. It's a piece of history which was sure to be documented at some point."
A piece of history Diana is not. A perfectly acceptable piece of tosh on ITV3 is more like it, if you were doing the ironing on a rainy Thursday afternoon. It would be different if they had waited a century, when the familiar would have had time to crystallise into legend.
Not for the last time, the Princess of Wales is being exploited. But don't blame the leading lady. Poor Naomi Watts. She is a swan in a turkey.
'Diana' is on general release from September 20

Stab in the dark: Murderous dreams come true
DRAWING BY DEBORAH DERR McCLINTOCK
Q. While the city sleeps through the long dark night, crime stalks the streets. But what if the sleepers are themselves the stalkers? Is sleep-crime very common? –Dr. Jekyll
A. It's more widespread than was originally thought, arising out of sleep disturbance or dysfunction and involving physical harm to people or destruction of property, reports the "Newsletter of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law."
There can be sleep-associated violence during night terrors and sleepwalking, possibly related to incomplete awakening from non-dreaming sleep. Medications, alcohol or other recreational drugs may be the cause, or psychosocial stress the trigger.
And "REM-sleep-behavior disorder" might involve an acting out of dreams, with hallucinogenic overtones. "Sleep drunkenness" can occur during the transition between sleep and wakefulness, when sudden arousal causes confusion and disorientation. This out-of-touchedness with reality can result in serious aggression, even homicide.
Fortunately, most sleep-crime is not so serious, such as someone throwing a sleepy punch; or the guy, as reported in Forensic Aspects of Sleep, who walked stark naked up and down a communal balcony, apparently unaware of his neighbors' presence. He was convicted of indecent exposure.
However, a wife who stabbed her husband 15 times– he survived– claimed to have been asleep, and the charges were dropped. Clearly, the law has a tough time knowing how to handle the shadowy cases of somnambulistic culpability.
Q. What exactly is your "money" and where is it? Could you lay your hands on it? –J.D. Rockefeller
A. Actually, probably not. Economists define money as currency + travelers' checks + an assortment of deposits in banks, ranging from checkable deposits to a highly liquid variety not necessarily removable via checks, says New York University economist Jonas Prager. The deposits are the largest group, comprising funds owed to depositors that banks are legally bound to honor. It's hard for people to accept at the gut level that what they consider their money is fundamentally intangible, electronic blips on bank tapes and not viewable upon demand.
"Yet, the monetary system works quite well, because we have confidence it will," says Prager. Keep in mind that money and wealth are not the same. Money is the most liquid form of wealth, but there are also stocks and bonds, real estate, homes, etc. "Wealth holdings far exceed the total amount of money in the world," Prager adds.
Q. Oh starry, starry night! Can it really be true that there are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on all the beaches of the world? –V. VanGogh
A. Imagine each grain is 1mm x 1mm x 1mm, and that there are 10,000 km of beaches, each about 100m in width and perhaps 10m in depth of sand. In this case, you get 10^19 grains of sand (1 followed by 19 zeroes). For the number of stars, take the number of visible galaxies, about 100 billion, and multiply that by 10 billion stars per galaxy, yielding 10^21 stars.
So here the number of stars exceeds the grains of sand by a factor of 100. But this is only for the visible universe. The real universe may be much much larger, perhaps another 10^100–yes, a google times larger. This would mean there are more galaxies (not seen) than the total number of atoms in our entire visible universe (about 10^80)! Strange, but possibly true!

I heard the ONLY way for us to even think about getting into UT is that we are URM students. Is this so?/quote]Sounds like it may be close enough to the truth.
So if you guys had to guess, would you say that the UT admissions people won't even get to see my resume? Or if they do, will the stop at the GPA and throw me into the "probably not" pile ? I wish they could see all the things I have done in UT undergrad but I'm pretty skeptical that they actually care. (Sigh)

Hollysys: New Orders Pick Up Pace, JP Morgan Raises PT To $23
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
J.P. Morgan raised its Buy price target for Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd. (HOLI), an industrial automation systems provider in China, from $19 to $23. Shares in Hollysys closed at $18 on Friday.
Hollysys's management confirmed its new order growth in October and November accelerated to over 30% from a year before, "driven by orders from thermal power and chemical segments," wrote J.P. Morgan analysts Chapman Deng and Karen Li in a research note. In the third quarter, new orders grew 20%.
In addition, there will be more new orders to come:
management is confident of delivering 20% revenue CAGR over the next five years in the industrial automation segment, which is higher than its previous guidance of 15% medium-term revenue growth guidance.
Hollysys is one of the three qualified high-speed railway signaling providers in China. J.P. Morgan expects the company to eventually move into inter-city rail, regular rail and subways as well.
The $23 price target implies 15 times the broker's 2014 earnings estimate and 2.2 times 2014 book value.

Olympic golden girl Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill had a blast today launching a new £500,000 Weston Park Cancer Charity appeal to improve the experiences of cancer patients in the region.
She used an air horn to sound the start of fundraising for Beyond The Treatment - which will see a huge refurbishment and modernisation of wards in her home city at Sheffield's Weston Park Hospital.
It will include WiFi and tech solutions to help patients stay in touch with their families using Smart TVs to make video calls, plus the introduction of lots of other home comforts for patients and visitors.
The hospital admits 3,500 people every year from Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster, Worksop and Chesterfield.
To donate visit www.beyondthetreatment.org.uk
VIDEO: Watch the official Beyond The Treatment video - CLICK HERE.
Charity bosses say the Beyond The Treatment appeal aims to make patients feel more comfortable and less isolated during their stay, along with improvements to day room facilities for visiting relatives and children.
As part of the transformation wards will get recliner chairs, circadian lighting to help patients sleep and an activity hub, with new technology also including access to iPads, DVD players, books and magazines.
A service to provide headscarves and support for people who have lost their hair as a result of their treatment, will also be paid for through the project.
Weston Park Cancer Charity needs to raise £500,000 by the end of September to cover the costs of the refurbishments and is calling on South Yorkshire businesses, community groups and individuals to help.
Dame Jessica, a Patron of the charity since 2011, put on a hard hat to tour wards where extensive building work is already underway as she launched the appeal today and explained: "We need to raise £500k to give two wards a big refurb.
"I live in the city. I've had friends and family who have visited this hospital. It's great to have this hospital here. To be able to be in a position to draw people to the appeal and give money, to make the hospital better for our city, is a very privileged position to be in.
"Weston Park Cancer Charity does incredible work and I am very proud to be helping them launch this campaign, which aims to make life that little bit easier for people being treated for cancer.
"I'm hoping that the people of South Yorkshire join me in helping the Beyond the Treatment appeal hits its target and make a difference."
Samantha Kennedy, director of Weston Park Cancer Charity, said: "Going through treatment for cancer can be exhausting, painful, and often quite lonely, so we're determined to help patients and their loved ones feel at home during their time in hospital.
"Thanks to the generosity of the people of South Yorkshire we have been able to support the hospital's work around cancer research, treatment and care for the last 23 years, and we're really hoping the community can get behind us again for this appeal. It's an ambitious target, but it will make a huge difference to people going through the most difficult time of their lives."
Former patient Andy Gardiner is also backing the appeal, in recognition of the care he received at the hospital five years ago.
Andy, aged 66, who lives in Nether Edge with his wife Lynne, was treated for a rare bone cancer and underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy before major facial reconstruction surgery.
He said: "The care I received from the staff was outstanding, but a television, internet connection, a reclining chair, a private toilet - things we take for granted at home - would have helped enormously. Going through treatment for cancer is very difficult, and small things like this can make it that bit easier. I urge everyone to get behind this appeal, to help the hospital like they helped me."
The NHS is covering the cost of extending and refurbishing the wards, which includes adding more single en-suite rooms, upgrading bay rooms and improving bathroom facilities. The money raised by Weston Park Cancer Charity will enhance the new wards beyond the basic standard to improve the experiences of patients and their loved ones.
Work on the first of the wards has already begun and the full refurbishment is due for completion in September. The hospital will remain fully operational throughout the refurbishment process.
Looking radiant, mum-to-be Jessica who recently released her first children's book, Evie's Magic Bracelet: The Silver Unicorn, added: "I've a very exciting year ahead. I'm feeling very well. I'm due in the autumn, so a while to go yet but I'm jeeping busy.
"My first book is out and it's going to be one of seven, so lots more books coming out and it's been really great fun to do."

Im trying to figure out what the best way to encrypt data sent between a webpage and the user(both ways) is, when hosted in an environment that doesn't support SSL. The purpose of encryption would be obscuring content for delivery through filters that aid in internet censorship. What ways would that be possible to acomplish for normal visitors without any effort on their part?
Any steering you guys could provide is greatly appreciated, Thanks!

OK, now to the conditionals... What do they do? They let you decide whether to perform an action or not, this decision is taken by evaluating an expression.
[if statements]
Conditionals have many forms. The most basic form is: if expression then statement where 'statement' is only executed if 'expression' evaluates to true. For example, '2<1' is an expresion that evaluates to false, while '2>1' evaluates to true.
Conditionals have other forms such as: if expression then statement1 else statement2. Here 'statement1' is executed if 'expression' is true,otherwise 'statement2' is executed.
Yet another form of conditionals is: if expression1 then statement1 else if expression2 then statement2 else statement3. In this form there's added only the "ELSE IF 'expression2' THEN 'statement2'" which makes statement2 being executed if expression2 evaluates to true.
OK, now to the syntax used in Bash:
... if [ expression ]; then #code goes here to be executed if expression is true fi ...The syntax is quite easy to understand, except the "="... if you worked with other languages, you use "==" to check equality, but this is BASH! it's syntax is a little different.
OK, here's a very simple script to practice an "if...else" condition:
#!/bin/bash STR1="astring" STR2="anotherstring" #don't forget the space after '[' and also before ']' !!! if [ $STR1 = $STR2 ]; then echo "$STR1 is equal to $STR2" else echo "$STR1 is not equal to $STR2" fiIt's a very stupid example but just for practice... the output will be "astring is not equal to anotherstring" as you know
Now let me tell you something! all that "[ expression ]" thing is a command in Linux! did you know? it is called "test". Check out it's man page to learn more about it and the conditions you can use inside it.
[for loops]
The for loop is really simple, come on! have a look:
#!/bin/bash #remember about the note we learned in previous tutorial about $(command) ? for i in $(seq 1 10); do echo $i donedon't panic! here's the explanation: in the first line of the loop, it tells that i is looped through 1 to 10, then we used a simple echo command inside the loop to print the value of i. It's quite simple
[while loops]
while loops are another type of conditional statements that might come handy. Here's an example of the usage:
#!/bin/bash counter=0 while [ $counter -le 10 ]; do echo $counter #*Note* let counter+=1 done*Note* this line is simple too! don't panic. it just lets us change the value of counter variable, we have to update it in order to continue the loop as we wanted. It just increases the value of counter by one.
here comes the last part:
[until loops]
until loops are another type of conditional loops to perform in bash scripts. The syntax is simply as follows:
#!/bin/bash counter=0 until [ $counter -gt 10 ]; do echo $counter let counter+=1 doneBasically, the loop continues until counter gets bigger than 10.
Now it's time to fulfill my oath to you! In previous tutorial, I promised to teach a simple way to know if a user has root privileges or not. Here's the script which uses an if statement and an environment variable (a variable controlled by OS and available in all scripts):
#!/bin/bash if [ $EUID -ne 0 ]; then echo "You don't have root privileges..." exit 1 fi*Note: we check the environmental variable "EUID" which is set by system to see if it is equal to 0, if false, then the user doesn't have root privileges. And the "exit 1" line tells the script is completed without success... use 0 for success.
This was the tutorial about using conditional statements and loops in Bash Scripts. Hope it was helpful for you

By selecting these tyres you are confirming that you understand your vehicle's requirements.View all sizes
For many years Michelin tyres have been the benchmark by which all other tyres are measured, whether it be in car tyres, van tyres, truck or agricultural. Dedicated to innovation, Michelin's engineers do not leave anything unchecked when they build their tyres and because of this Michelin are well known for their superb grip and their impressive resistance to the highest of temperatures.
With their impressive motorsport history ranging from Formula 1, Le Mans, WRC Rally and numerous other series cups their technical knowhow is second to none. Michelin have been at the forefront in developing the longest lasting tyres, tyres that give the best fuel economy and yet always maintain the highest levels of customer safety.
The Michelin CrossClimate tyre has proven a success since its initial launch in 2015. It answered the question of how to cope with ever-changing weather conditions. The CrossClimate Plus is an improvement of the original as it has the latest Michelin tread compound, providing safety and grip for longer and is ideally suited for UK winter conditions.
Michelin recommends that the CrossClimate+ should ideally be fitted in axle pairs, with new tyres to the rear.
B Grade – A Fuel efficient tyre only slightly behind grade A tyres
B Grade – Nearly the best quality tyres to stop in the wet, stopping only 3m more than a grade A tyre but on average 15m shorter than a car on grade G tyres (on a wet road when braking from 50mph – testing according to regulation EC1222/2009)
1 Bar – Below future EU noise limits
69 dB – Exterior noise level measured in decibels (dB). The lower the exterior noise level the better the environment near busy roads

Congo, neighbors sign new peace plan
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — Eleven African countries signed a United Nations-drafted peace deal on Sunday to stabilize the troubled Central African country of Congo, where rebels allegedly backed by neighboring countries last year threatened to oust the government.
Opening the agreement-signing meeting at the African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said peace, security and cooperation framework for Congo would bring stability to the region.
"The signing ceremony is a significant even in itself. But it is only the beginning of a comprehensive approach that will require sustained engagement. The framework before you outlines commitments and oversight mechanisms which aim at addressing key national and regional issues," Ban said in his speech.
Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Central African Republic, Angola, Uganda, South Sudan, South Africa, Tanzania, and the Republic of Congo signed the accord.
Congo's neighbors collectively promised to not interfere in the internal affairs of the Congo. They also agreed to not tolerate or support armed groups. A U.N. report last year said that Rwanda and Uganda helped aid M23 rebels inside Congo. The two countries denied the allegations.
Rwanda's President Paul Kagame was present at the signing and said the agreement is a new opportunity for Congo.
"The framework recognizes that a holistic approach that addresses the multifaceted root causes is the only way to end instability. Any meaningful contribution toward lasting peace in the DRC and the Great Lake's region has to abandon the self-defeating practice of selectivity in both memory and responsibility regarding the known, long standing causes of recurring conflict," said Kagame.
The U.N. says Congo suffers from persistent violence by both local and foreign armed groups that use rape as a weapon. The conflict has displaced nearly 2 million people. The U.N. said it will undertake a review of the its peacekeeping force in Congo, known as MONUSCO, to better help the country's government address security challenges. Ban said he would issue a special report on Congo and the Great Lakes region in coming days.
"It will outline my proposal for a new comprehensive approach to addressing the underlying causes of the conflict in the DRC and the region, which encompasses the various components of the framework but also a strengthened political and security role for MONUSCO, including the deployment of an intervention brigade with a peace enforcement mandate. Countries of the region have committed to putting in motion to this brigade," Ban said.
South African President Jacob Zuma welcomed the proposal to send more troops to Congo. But he said Congo's government needs to undertake "far-reaching reforms" for a lasting solution.
"A heavy burden of responsibility falls on the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and its neighbors. Theirs is the historic task of freeing the people of the DRC and the region from tortuous history of conflict and instability, and to introduce a new future offering democracy, peace, stability progress and prosperity," said Zuma.
Under the new agreement the Congolese government agreed to fast-track security sector reform, particularly within its army and police, and to consolidate state authority in eastern parts of the country. It pledged to prevent armed groups from destabilizing neighboring countries.
Congo President Joseph Kabila also vowed to advance decentralization and expand social services across the nation. The deal calls for Kabila to soon put in place a national oversight mechanism in order to oversee the implementations of the commitments. The U.N., AU, African Development Bank and other international groups have agreed to support the effort.
An agreement signing was cancelled last month at the margins of the African Union summit at the last minute, and Ban at the time blamed "procedural issues" for the delay. Ban on Sunday proposed that the leaders should meet twice a year, at the margins of the AU and U.N. summits, to review the deal's progress.

How to Innovate in E-commerce
Grow Your Business, Not Your Inbox
This story appears in the September 2013 issue of . Subscribe »
After 14 years and a $1.2 billion acquisition by Amazon, Zappos still hasn't hung up its innovation hat. To sustain a startup-like attitude, in 2009 the Henderson, Nev.-based e-commerce giant launched Zappos Labs, a San Francisco division staffed with 11 full-time employees dedicated to exploring what consumers want out of their shopping experiences, then creating new ways for them to engage on the main site.
Director Will Young describes Zappos Labs as a "testing ground" where the team is given free rein to experiment. By design, the department's budget is flexible. "Our mission is to innovate, and the secret to coming up with real innovations in e-commerce is to treat it like traditional R&D," he says, noting that if money were the objective, the company could just invest in coupon apps and call it a day.
The goal is to figure out the perfect blend of commerce, social media and content. Zappos Labs has launched more than a dozen products; most are short-lived, but some hold great promise. Among them:
- Glance suggests curated items and trends based on customer selections. Since Zappos' inventory can be overwhelming--more than 140,000 items from 1,000 brands--it aims to improve user experience by offering edited collections of products that are uncluttered by filters and multistep navigation.
- PinPointing takes what customers pin on Pinterest and recommends similar items available on Zappos. Young says the project was the result of assessing the popularity of social networks and leveraging them to drive sales and growth.
- TweetWall lets users browse the image gallery at Zappos.com and see customers' product tweets--"the good and even the ugly"--in real time. User-generated content is a foolproof way to drive interaction. What better way than to give customers an excuse to post selfies?

My name is Keith Giles. I love to write so that people can know Jesus and experience His life in their own. So, I started this blog to help people understand who Jesus is, and how He reveals what the Father is really like. This is a safe place to talk about all those questions you've had about the Bible, and Christianity. It's also a place to learn how to put the words of Jesus into practice.

YOUR CROSS AND MINE by Keith Giles
Your Cross And Mine by Keith Giles
In all things and in all ways, Jesus is our example, teacher and master. We are his disciples, followers and friends.
It troubles me that often we make the Gospel about His cross and not ours.
I think that what Jesus did for us on the cross was incredible. It was the single most heroic and astounding act ever committed by anyone in the known universe. Mostly because the person committing this ultimate act of humility and sacrifice was God Himself. He certainly didn't have to go through this. No one forced Him to do it. He simply could've wiped out all of mankind and started over with a new group of humans rather than endure the shame and the agony of the cross. Better yet, He could've just avoided all of this by not creating anything at all.
But, for whatever reason, God did create everything. He did know that it would cost Him everything. He did realize that this creation would require Him to leave His throne in glory, step down from the eternal praise of the angels and the twenty-four elders, and take on the form of a servant. Even the form of a baby, in a small stable, surrounded by smelly shepherds and barnyard animals.
Worse still, He realized that this creation would compel Him to first suffer unbelievable rejection, humiliation, physical torture, pain, separation from the Father, and even physical death.
Would you have said, "Let there be light" if you knew it would cost you all of this?
Yes, the cross of Jesus is miraculous and awe-inspiring. We don't talk about it or meditate on it enough. It is the scandal of the universe that the perfect, pure, Holy One became smeared with the filth of sin and shame…our filth…our shame.
But we forget that Jesus offered us a cross of our own. Before he took up his cross, he called his disciples to take up their own cross and follow him.
"Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me" – Luke 9:23
A.W. Tozer once said, "Among the plastic saints of our times, Jesus has to do all the dying, and all we want to hear is another sermon about his dying."
We are also called to die along with Jesus. His death was for our salvation, but our death is also necessary to the process. We must surrender our lives in exchange for the new life that Jesus died to give to us.
Jesus also tells us, "I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me." (John 12:24-26)
Somehow, in my walk with Jesus, I have forgotten to carry my own cross. Somehow, I have neglected to receive the words of my teacher, my master and my friend when He tells me that "Anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:27)
What is left for me is repentance, and a search for the cross which He has set aside for me to carry.
Jesus has left me with an example of what love is. He has called me to follow where he has already traveled. Our attitude should be the same as that of Jesus, as he humbled himself, we are to humble ourselves, as he emptied himself, we are to empty ourselves, as he took on the form of a servant, we are to take on the form of this same servant.
The amazing thing about the Gospel of the Kingdom that Jesus came and died to preach and proclaim is that "the Kingdom of God is near you" (Luke 10:9). This means that we don't have to strive and dance around to get the Kingdom to arrive or to make it go. It's here. Right now. Jesus announced it. He invites us into the Kingdom right now. Today.
What we often miss is that, the pathway into this Kingdom is through humility, servant hood and taking up our cross to declare Jesus as our Lord and our King.
Jesus declared the Kingdom was near to us. He demonstrated that it was true. He modeled for us how to enter the Kingdom and enjoy the Kingdom kind of life.
We're left with little mystery then, as to where the Kingdom is and how to enter it. What we're challenged with is the cost of this great treasure. It costs us everything, and yet, in comparison, it costs us nothing at all.
"I died on the cross with Christ. And my present life is not that of the old "I", but the living Christ within me. The bodily life I now live I live believing in the Son of God who loved me and sacrificed himself for me." (Gal 2:20)
We'd love for there to be "another way" into the Kingdom, wouldn't we? Even Jesus, when faced with his own cross, prayed and asked if there was another way, yet he concluded by saying, "Nevertheless, not my will be done, but yours" and he accepted this call to surrender unto death.
Our temptation is no different. The lie of the enemy is that there is "another way" to partake of the Kingdom and to follow Jesus besides the cross. We cannot allow ourselves to think that following Jesus is possible without dieing to ourselves daily and allowing Jesus to be our Lord and King.
"The terrible thing, the almost impossible thing, is to hand over your whole self--all your wishes and precautions--to Christ." (C.S. Lewis, "Counting The Cost")
The cross of Jesus is a stunning and breathtaking act of love and sacrifice by God Himself for people like you and me, and the cross He asks us to carry is our declaration of love and gratitude to Him for this amazing sacrifice.
"When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die." - (Dietrich Bonhoeffer, "The Cost Of Discipleship")

Golf instruction is best taken in a few small doses. Too much is perhaps worse then too little. The result can be a great deal of confusion and a swing that looks like your first carpentry project. To be useful golf instruction needs to be based on your own natural tendencies. In short, golf instruction needs to be personalized. Too many of us are like busy little bees who spend a short time on every flower of advice we come upon and then more to another when it does not give instant help. The point is that we need advice that will help with our own particular problems, and then work on that advice, commit ourselves to it until we integrate it into our game--on the course under pressure. You can find the golf instruction YOU need at Dr. Putt. Dr. Putt will answer all emails about your golf problems, providing sage and serious advice with a light touch, based on his experience as a college golf coach and instructor.
To read other emails that he has answered, visit golf instruction from Dear Dr. Putt, where you may find that your particular question has already been answered.
While Dr. Putt specializes in putting instruction and putting adivce, he provides instruction on all aspects of the game. If you want confidential advice, feel free to use an alias -- many of those who do write use rather interesting names -- to the amusement of Dr. Putt and his readers. Golf is fun (or it should be) and even golf instruction should have a fun element to it. If you do not want your letter posted for other readers, just say so and your personalized golf instruction will remain completely confidential!
Dr. Putt would admonish all players that too many books and magazines make putting instruction too complicated. Putting involves only three elements. (1) Judging speed and direction -- seeing the line after reading the green. That is the really fun and creative part -- the art of putting. (2) Lining up so that you are aimed along the intended line. (3) Putting along the intended line with the intended distance. While the player should learn from mistakes, too many players make major changes after inevitable human mistakes. Missing to the left or right can be a matter of misreading the direction or misaligning or poor execution or even stroking it too hard or too soft. For example, a putt that breaks to the right will be missed to the right if you putt it too softly and to the left if you putt it too hard. How can you tell what is your precise putting problem? That's just the kind of question that Dr. Putt can answer for you!
So to have your questions about golf instruction answered promptly -- before you miss any more putts or make any more unnecessary strokes, have Dr. Putt make a house call to your house! All golf instruction questions are generally answered within 24 hours!

Thank you so much to predictions expert, Mark Anderson, who publicly unveiled his 2019 Predictions at our 14th annual TAG Predictions event!
Renowned brand strategist and designer Tim Girvin, Founding Principal, Girvin, shared his ideas on Marks and Meaning at FiRe 2018.

PRC Steel and Aluminum Strategy A Long-term Play for Global Domination
For nearly a decade now, INVNT/IP has tracked the ongoing economic campaigns run by the government of the People's Republic of China (PRC) to dominate key global industries. From renewable technologies like photovoltaic cells and wind turbines to semiconductors, telecommunications, chemicals and beyond, the government of the PRC has pursued a system of global market domination that follows a distinct path. PRC government entities and their affiliates consistently follow three simple steps in the process of achieving unlawful domination of global markets deemed high national priorities by the leadership of China and the Communist Party of China (CPC): steal, amplify and dominate.
A simple but effective procedure, this system requires that the PRC government first promote or execute the theft of intellectual property from entities across the Western world, providing Chinese government and government-supported firms with the knowledge required to produce high tech goods without performing the necessary research and development. Once technical know-how has been stolen (or coerced through forced disclosure policies), government-affiliated firms are given funding and legal protection to "incubate" in the Chinese market.
Chosen by the government and carefully protected until they are able to compete internationally, these firms and their products are then introduced into the global market with extreme levels of government financial support. As a result, they are able to sustain below-profit sales at the government's behest long enough to weaken and destroy their competitors. This domination of global markets is, of course, the point of the effort and expenditure employed in the preceding steps.
Few industries offer a better case study for this process than global steel and aluminum markets.
In 2016, Chinese hackers working for the People's Liberation Army were indicted for hacking U.S. Steel, Westinghouse, Allegheny Technologies Inc., Alcoa, and the United Steelworkers Union (Solarworld was also a victim). The team obtained cutting edge manufacturing processes and advanced formulas, planning and strategy documents, and passed them to at least three major PRC government-owned firms: Baosteel, Chinalco and SNPTC. These firms, armed with massive PRC government subsidies (illegal by WTO standards), proceeded to sell these products on the global markets at far below the market rate.
In 2017, the United States Department of Commerce estimated subsidy rates of between 63.86 and 190.71 percent on products from a slough of Chinese companies in the metals business in its final determinations on antidumping and countervailing duty investigations of stainless steel sheet and strip from the PRC. Dumping margins from 48.64 to 106.09 percent were determined for aluminum products.
From BBC Business Daily:
Are US allegations that Huawei is helping Beijing hack US data networks motivated by genuine suspicions or by trade protectionism?
Joe Miller reports from the US where some Americans feel frustrated that their government is restricting them from using the Chinese tech firm's cheap and reliable products. Meanwhile Ed Butler asks Wired journalist Scott Thurm whether the Trump administration's clampdown is just part of the broader trade standoff between the world's two biggest economies.
Plus, Chinese billionaire and artificial intelligence expert Kai-Fu Lee explains why he thinks ultimately China may win the tech arms race with the US over everything from mobile payments to autonomous vehicles.
Mark Anderson (CEO, Strategic News Service) presents his latest thinking on Flow and Interaction, which he has come to view as the two fundamental elements of the universe, constantly at work, continually shaping every aspect of our lives. Flow: The movement of substances, data, information, ideas, or innovations over time. Interaction: The internal or external effect(s) of substances, data, information, ideas, or innovations as they travel over time, changing the original state of the flow. Mark shares examples of how those two actions drive everything from physics to economics, from biology to corporate success.
Mark Anderson is a predictions expert in the fields of technology and the economy. He is CEO of Strategic News Service, an online technology newsletter read by Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Elon Musk, Michael Dell, Jeff Bezos, and other leaders in technology and finance.

AUGUSTA, Maine – Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed the presence of Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) in a mosquito pool from the town of York.
This is the second mosquito pool from Maine to test positive for EEE in 2013.
According to Dr. Sheila Pinette, Director of Maine CDC, additional positive tests are likely. "We still have plenty of warm weather ahead in the next few weeks and this increases the possibility of additional positive pools."
EEE is a virus that is transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito. It can cause serious illness in humans, large animals like horses and some species of birds. Maine confirmed EEE in a flock of pheasants during 2012 and experienced unprecedented EEE activity during 2009 with multiple animals and mosquito pools testing positive for the virus.
Regionally, all of the surrounding states have also identified EEE in 2013 including mosquito pools in New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts. Two horses have tested positive for EEE in Massachusetts.
"EEE is a very serious illness" says Dr. Stephen Sears, State Epidemiologist, "Mainers need to take appropriate precautions against mosquitoes to prevent this illness."
Maine CDC recommends the following preventative measures to protect against EEE and other mosquito-borne illnesses:
■Use an Environmental Protection Agency-approved repellent when outdoors, especially around dawn and dusk. Always follow the instructions on the product's label;
■Wear protective clothing when outdoors, including long-sleeved shirts, pants and socks;
■Keep window and door screens down to keep mosquitoes out of the home;
■Limit time outdoors at dawn and dusk when many species of mosquitoes are most active;
■Remove containers holding water in and around the home, as water can attract mosquitoes.
Maine's Health and Environmental Laboratory (HETL) routinely performs testing for EEE and West Nile virus (WNV) in mosquitoes, large animals and humans. Maine stopped testing individual dead birds for mosquito-borne illnesses in 2006 and no longer uses them as an indicator for disease.
Maine CDC will continue to update information on mosquito-borne disease surveillance in Maine on a weekly basis. These reports are posted every Monday from May through September at www.maine.gov/dhhs/mecdc/infectious-disease/epi/vector-borne/arboviral-surveillance.shtml
Future positive tests will be announced through this report.
Information on pesticides and repellents is available at the Maine Board of Pesticides Control website at:www.maine.gov/agriculture/pesticides/public/index.htm#mosquito

Wynne's Diary….Wynne kept a diary from 1895 until 1931…a total of 30 volumes. Not all the diaries are online but those that are can be accessed through the timeline at the top of this page http://www.wynnesdiary.com/diary_layout/wynneframeset.html
These diaries are most interesting to read. There are the diaries themselves written exactly day to day and then sometimes biographical notes to explain them. Her diaries give an insight into life in England in early 1900s. In the early diaries, Wynne wrote about some of the dresses she had made…and she remained interested in clothes, though as the years passed she began to regard the latest fashions with some amusement, and started cutting them out of fashion plates and sticking them into her diaries, often accompanied by comments like: "here are freaks!"
