Why do you still have Word?
This topic was raised in an unrelated thread I started in the Writer folder. For those of you who have moved over to OOo but still keep Word on your computer, why?
I still keep it on because it can do things in the advanced search and replace (wildcards / regular expressions) that I either have a hard time pulling off in OOo or sometimes can't altogether.
THREAD DISCLAIMER: OOo is the single most useful project I've encountered online, and I'm deeply grateful for all the work that's gone into it. This thread is not intended to be negative in any way; I'm just starting it in the hopes that perhaps people mentioning what's holding them back from completely uninstalling Word could make OOo even better in the future.
Re: Why do you still have Word?
The "Synonyms" and "Antonyms" features in word are quick, easy, and available. When looking for the appropriate word on the tip of your tongue, but just not making it's way out of your head, it's really a useful feature. It also helps to quickly and conveniently keep your writing from being repetitive by diversifying the language, and consequently serves to help reinforce the diversification of your vocabulary.
I know this seems perhaps an odd thing to miss, and I realize that other features of word might be thought more advanced and desirable, but I have to say, when I did switch, upon getting my current computer, that was one of the, if not the, greatest factor(s) keeping me from Open Office.
my avatar... er... is too big.
+1 on search and replace.
Regular expressions is powerful, but not very approachable for new users or people who only use the functionality a couple of times a year.
I still have Word because part of my job is user support on the MS suite.
Our school used to use OOo primarily. Government guidelines advise the use of open standards. When county authorities were pushed by government directive to increase the use of ICT in schools, they re-introduced the MS suite as "the standard" for secondary schools in the county, and bought licenses to give to all the first grade students.

That's precisely why I've still kept Word around. In fact, it's the only reason.
I'm translator, and in most cases the clients require me to deliver jobs in Word DOC format. OpenOffice.org still can't export to DOC flawlessly, and I have always to check files with Word.
Well, yes, OOo's search&replace is inferior to MS Word's. And in some cases MS Word saves time. If OOo developers simply copycat Word, this will be great.
I still have Word (sigh) to send resumes and cover letters on Monster and other job hunting web sites. Most only accept Word/Works and a few will not accept PDF. It's very frustrating to convert for me, I was Oo completely until I lost my job and had to submit resumes.
Why not juy continue to use OOo Writer and SaveAs DOC files. If you keep to straightforward formatting then the results look fine when opened in Word.
* +1 on search and replace.
* My clients expect me to send doc files and, yes, there sometimes stay funny things in converted files, so I always make a last editing round in Word.
* I don't hate Word as some others seem to do, maybe because I have also worked with WordPerfect 5.1 without a proper training. When you're old enough to have worked with WP, you may remember the immense relief when WinWord 6 appeared.
my employer has it, so my choices are limited there, but outside of work I use OOo exclusively.
At work I have MS Word on my computer as well as OO. I was allowed to install OO so I'm lucky. Sometimes I do check my documents to make sure it looks ok in Word if I'm sending docs to other people.

Really? Never had that problem. And yes I was looking for employment when I converted to OOo. But my resume and cover letter template had been originally created in either Word 97 or WordPerfect 6 (DOS) (I think). I never had any major problems as long as I kept saving in .doc format.
Our school district (1000+ pc's) runs Open Office throughout. We found we had to keep Word (and the other MS Office components) on our Business Professionals of America lab. BPA is a High School program that students take to learn about vocational careers in professional organizations: http://www.bpanet.org/public/ Our students attend their national conference each year and attend competitions there. Unfortunately BPA only uses Microsoft Office (and only allows the one package in their competitions). We have asked the instructor why in this economy would BPA expect schools to constantly get the latest and greatest expensive package from Microsoft when Open Office is so much more cost effective for our school (we are saving $23,000 each year). The explanation is that they believe that the students need to have the same tools they'll be using in the "real world". In any case we want our students to participate in BPA, so we must have Office 2007 in one lab.
Why does it take so long to solve this trivial bug (OOo issue 94630) (LibO issue 31005) ?
I keep Word on my computer because I have to use it to fill out 4-H record book forms. When I edit them in OOo, the formatting gets REALLY messed up (they're DOC files).
One reason only: Outline View.
I use Outline View to give presentations. I think it makes a much better presentation than the linear powerpoint. Audiences can see where we're going, and where we've been. They continuously see the whole context of the talk.
I still use word as it is simple to use.Also, it has some features that are very easy and simple.The most common formt in the use is Doc which is used to foeward a document to some other user.Synonym and Antonym feature along with autocorrect and add to dictionary, all these things are good to use and more convenient. That's why word is still on use.
The most common formt in the use is Doc which is used to foeward a document to some other user.
Ther binary .doc fileformat is obsolete, never standardized, and it has a lot of incompatible, wrongly documented versions. Never use it.
Always use the International Standard ODF fileformats for your important document for the long time compatibility.
The newer MS Office versions can read the ODF fileformats.

Manage your printers better with Cartridge World.
Many companies, both large and small, heavily count on very few printers. When that printer breaks down or needs maintenance, what does a business do to continue their day-to-day operations? They don't… most of them don't have any printing redundancy. When it comes to computing, most IT professionals demand that data and hardware all have backups and alternatives, so the company doesn't experience data loss, down time, or costly recovery methods. The same strategy applies to your corporate printing. Adding redundancy can improve your chances of recovering after a failure. How many times have you wondered if you should keep an older car that has proved its reliability, in case your newer car breaks down? Instead of just one super expensive piece of equipment, many times our clients get away with having multiple machines that cost them less and provides the added benefit of choosing more appropriate technology for different departments or user's needs. Gaining redundancy in your office makes sense both financially and efficiently. When you speak with one of our printing experts they can help guide you to how many printers you need and which ones will help you save money based on your printing habits.
In a small business, each department has different printing needs. The printer that is assigned to reports, financials, and accounting probably would only need to print black and white. However, they also need the functionality of a multifunction printer so they can copy, scan and fax. The marketing department will probably need color photo quality printers so they can design new brochures, newsletters, packaging or other creative items. They would get very little use out of a fully black and white printer and it would be very costly to the business to buy a large copy machine to fill both department's needs. Furthermore, when one printer breaks down or needs repairs, both departments can use the other printer temporarily while it goes in for service.
Cartridge World can help your business minimize downtime and increase efficiency. Even the smallest home-based business can take advantage of having separate printers. One for the kids and homework, one for printing photos and cards, and one strictly for business and volume printing. There are plenty of reasons why larger copy machines aren't always the best alternative to smaller desktop printers. Of course, even the business that already has a contract for a larger printing device can also take advantage of adding additional printers to their fleet, especially in a larger office setting. It can be helpful to have executives print to local printers without needing to leave their office or workspace to go grab what they just sent to the printer.
Another concern that many businesses in the mortgage, financial, or medical fields have is privacy issues that are caused by sharing only one or two printers. When you send a document to a shared printer there is no way to make sure no one else grabs your private documents before you do. It is safer and more legally practical to have sensitive private documents to print from a local desktop printer.
To learn more about redundancy, multi printer office solutions, or how to save money and time without sacrifice, talk to us! We are your local printing experts and we will work with you to find the best way to optimize your printing.

THE UPEISU AND CASA COMMEND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S COVID-19 STUDENT AID PACKAGE
April 22, 2020 upeisu in Community News, Student Union News, UPEI News Views - 959
April 22, 2020 – Charlottetown, PE
The UPEI Student Union and the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations (CASA) are pleased with the student aid package announced today by the Government of Canada. The package will bring significant relief to many students affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and will provide valuable support to at-risk students and recent graduates.
"This kind of comprehensive aid package is key to ensuring that students and recent graduates are protected during this pandemic, ready to return to classes and the workplace once physical distancing measures are reduced," added Adam Brown, CASA Chairperson. "This announcement includes immediate financial relief for students and recent graduates who do not qualify for the CERB, while also making sure that students are able to access and afford their education moving forward."
Today's announcement expands the Government of Canada's COVID-19 response by providing a $9 billion aid package to postsecondary students and recent graduates. Students and recent graduates who do not qualify for the existing Canada Emergency Response Benefit will be eligible for another Emergency Student Benefit worth up to $1,750 per month in relief. In addition, the government has also committed to doubling the Canada Student Grant for the 2020-21 academic year, along with an increase in Canada Student Loans that will bring weekly allowances from $210 to $350. The government has also pledged to invest an additional $75 million in the Post-Secondary Student Support Program, Metis Education Strategy, and Inuit Education Strategy. Further, $291 million in funding has been committed to the Canada Granting Agency to allow for student researcher extensions. Today's announcement also commits to creating the new Canada Student Service Grant which will provide up to $5,000 to students who volunteer for a set number of hours during the pandemic.
"We were pleased to see this aid package. We hope the CESB will be available to international students, as these students have access to limited provincial and federal aid thus far. This would be a progressive measure to ensure these students are not disproportionately affected or falling through the cracks" said UPEISU Vice President Academic & External, Sweta Daboo.
The UPEISU and CASA have been committed to ensuring that the federal government safeguards the future by protecting students during the COVID-19 pandemic. We had previously called upon the federal government to provide serious relief for students by: Establishing an Emergency Response Benefit stream for students and new graduates, increasing the Canada Student Grant for low- and middle-income students, waiving the requirement for the fixed student contribution, permitting international students to travel to Canada in September 2020, and extending the research funding for student research funding issued by Canada's Granting Agencies. The UPEISU and CASA applaud the Government of Canada for taking action on our specific recommendations.


Schools are awash with paper. Booklets, worksheets, assessments, admin documents…the list goes on and on. Often a paper resource needs to be changed, or shared online but the original electronic version can't be sourced. Here are 3 easy steps to convert a paper-based resource to a digital document ready for editing and uploading.
1. Use your mobile to take a photograph of the document. It may seem obvious, but good lighting and a steady hand are important.
2. Upload the image to your DropBox folder. DropBox is available on Android and iPhone and should be installed on both your phone and computer.
3. Use a free online OCR reader. I find New OCR pretty reliable although there are plenty of others out there. Upload the image from your Dropbox folder on your computer to the OCR reader. It should only take a minute to be converted to text, and with New OCR it's a simply a question of copying and pasting the content to your new document.

Q: How to control output of a nuget package dependencies during build I would like to support backward compatibility in my application.
Simply saying - one app needs to work using different versions of a dll depending on a flag which the app get's during runtime.
I've simplified everything and created a test solution with 2 projects in it.
Each project has it's own version of the same nuget package.

I picked System.Drawing.Common cause it has no dependencies.
ClassLibrary1 contains System.Drawing.Common of version 4.5.0.
ClassLibrary2 contains System.Drawing.Common of version 6.0.0.
Both projects have same output path:
<OutputPath>..\DEBUG\</OutputPath>

When I build my solution I get just one System.Drawing.Common.dll in my output folder:

Cause both dlls have one name and only version is different.
The desired behavior on the pictures below:

*

*Distribute the nuget package dependencies into different folders according to versions.

*Add suffix to the nuget package dependencies according to versions.

The idea is in controlling output of the nuget package dependencies.
Do you have any idea how I can achieve that ?
P.S. all other logic - resolving dependencies according versions etc is out of scope of this question.

A: It's possible.
First you need to add GeneratePathProperty to PackageReference element in csproj file
<ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="System.Drawing.Common">
        <Version>4.5.0</Version>
        <GeneratePathProperty>true</GeneratePathProperty>
    </PackageReference>
</ItemGroup>

It allows us using $(PkgSystem_Drawing_Common) variable which contains a path to the nuget package.
Then we need to create a msbuild targets file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
    <Target Name="CopyNugetDll" BeforeTargets="BeforeCompile" Outputs="System.Drawing.Common.dll">
        <XmlPeek XmlInputPath="$(ProjectPath)" Query="Project/ItemGroup/PackageReference[@Include='System.Drawing.Common']/Version/text()">
            <Output TaskParameter="Result" PropertyName="NugetPackageVersion" />
        </XmlPeek>
        <ItemGroup>
            <NugetrDll Include="$(PkgSystem_Drawing_Common)\lib\net461\System.Drawing.Common.dll" />
        </ItemGroup>
        <Message Text="Copying @(NugetrDll) to $(OutDir)" Importance="high" />

        <Exec Command="copy $(PkgSystem_Drawing_Common)\lib\net461\System.Drawing.Common.dll $(OutDir)\System.Drawing.Common.$(NugetPackageVersion).dll" />
    </Target>
</Project>

Here using xpath we select version from project.assets.json file and save it in NugetPackageVersion variable. Exec copy is used to copy the dll to a specific location with a specific prefix which contains a value from NugetPackageVersion variable.
Lastly you need to include msbuild targets file to a project
<Import Project="CopyDll.targets" />

A: This just isn't how package resolution works in .NET, you get one version of each package which is decided at restore time.
There may be some funky options if you have a very niche problem, but it sounds like maybe you're trying to solve a common problem in an uncommon way which is generally a bad idea.
Typically for the problem of backwards compatibility the onus is on the publisher of the library rather than the consumer of the library to make sure it all works by not making breaking API changes.

3 new breweries set to open in April
Kathy Flanigan
Drink your green beer if you must. But know that Milwaukee is only a couple weeks away from a new round of craft brewery openings.
Broken Bat Brewing Co., 231 E. Buffalo St., expects to pour its first beer the weekend of April 7 — in time for the start of baseball season.
"We are obsessed with beer and we are obsessed with baseball," co-owner Tim Pauly said when they announced the new brewery. "Those are two things that get us up in the morning, besides family and friends."
Pabst Milwaukee Brewery, 1037 W. Juneau Ave., will open April 14. The date is tied to Milwaukee Day, so named because it falls on 4/14.
Westalllion Brewing, 1825 S. 72nd St., West Allis, is thisclose to a proper opening. Gathering Place, 811 E. Vienna St., is on track for a late May or June opening.
At the same time, Good City Brewing, 2108 N. Farwell Ave., wants to add seating and maybe a rooftop bar.
These beer events will keep you going until then:
Friday: Look for special events at Third Space and City Lights Brewing. City Lights Brewing, 2200 W. Mount Vernon Ave., opens at 6 a.m. for St. Patrick's Day, with live Celtic bagpipe music and the release of its special Irish Red Ale. One dollar from each Irish Red Ale sold will be donated to the Milwaukee County Boys and Girls club. Third Space, 1505 W. St. Paul Ave., opens at 9 a.m. to celebrate both its six-month anniversary and St. Patrick's Day. They call the Double IPA a "green" beer because it's stuffed with hops.
Saturday: Stillmank Brewing of Green Bay takes over the taps at MobCraft Brewing, 505 S. 5th St., from 6 to midnight. Beers on tap will include Wisco Disco, Perky Porter. Awesome Sauce and 6252-Simcoe Red IPA, according to the event page at Facebook. Meet the owners Erin and Brad Stillmank (Brad is also the brewer).
Sunday: Camp Bar Tosa, 6600 W. North Ave., will host the Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission (MADACC) Pints for Pups from noon to 5 p.m. For each pint of Milwaukee Brewing beer sold, $1 will be donated to the cause.
March 21: Wolfgang Schäff of Kloster Andechs Monastery Brewery visits Cafe Bavaria, 7700 Harwood Ave., Wauwatosa, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. to represent Kloster Andechs Doppelbock Dunkel, Pints of Dunkelweis and the rarely imported Bergbock Hell will be available.
March 21: Hear Tami Plourde, part owner of Pearl Street Brewery in La Crosse, talk about being a woman in a male-dominated industry. She will share her story and recognize the other women who are opening doors for a new generation. She'll talk at 6 p.m. at the Milwaukee Public Library East, 2320 N. Cramer St. Admission is free.
March 23: Draft & Vessel, 4417 N. Oakland Ave., Shorewood, hosts Another Beatrix Vegan Pop Up. That's not exasperation; that's the event's name. The night features Beatrix Vegan foods and a discussion of all things vegan with Tracy Hurst, Wisconsin native, vegan and co-owner of Metropolitan Brewing, a lager brewery in Chicago.

Why Emerging Markets are a Screaming Buy
Stocks in the developing world are volatile but inexpensive.
BYShawn Tully
November 20, 2018, 11:30 AM UTC
Nigel Cox for Fortune Magazine
For a chorus of the leading voices in investing, it was the monster rally whose time had come. For about five years, a group of sages, including value-investing boldface names Jeremy Grantham, Mark Mobius, and Rob Arnott, kept pronouncing that shares of companies in emerging markets offered the world's rarest blend of attractions: deep-discount prices compared with U.S. equities, cheap currencies, and the prospect of robust growth driven by a burgeoning population of youthful middle-class workers and consumers—all factors that long promised a powerful comeback in the beaten-down sector.
Two years ago, their prophecies came true. Valuations in emerging markets—a group of some 25 countries defined by low but growing per capita incomes, rapid industrialization, and zigzagging currencies—took flight. In the 24 months beginning in late January 2016, shares in the benchmark MSCI emerging markets index surged 85%, beating the S&P 500 by 31 percentage points. Despite the sprint, emerging markets looked as if they had plenty of room to run. Not only did they still boast a lot more earnings per dollars paid for equities in the developed world, they also now benefited from what they had long lacked: surging optimism and powerful momentum.
Then the revival suddenly collapsed. After peaking on Jan. 26, the MSCI dropped 22%, seven times the fall in the S&P 500, crushed by negative news about a looming U.S. trade war with China and debt crises in Turkey and Argentina. But for investors rummaging for bargains, the drop is a gift. It has sent the gap in valuations between stocks in developed and developing countries back to near-record levels, making the always-speculative index particularly attractive. As Arnott, chief of Research Affiliates, a firm that designs and manages indexes for mutual funds and ETFs, told Fortune: "Emerging markets are the buy of the decade." In a letter to clients, Grantham, cofounder of asset-management giant GMO, said he was putting half his family's retirement funds into the sector. As for Mobius, a pioneer of emerging-markets investing who retired earlier in the year from Franklin Templeton Investments, he's raising more than $500 million to take advantage of what he calls the "phenomenal opportunity" caused by the recent turmoil in the sector.
Emerging markets offer a classic high-risk, high-reward investment opportunity. The countries that fit the description represent 40% of the world's economic output as measured by gross domestic product but just 12% of global stock market value. The potential for high growth is associated with countries moving rapidly from heavy dependence on agricultural and raw-materials exports into finished goods manufacturing and services. That said, higher growth prospects come with greater volatility, especially owing to high political, currency, and other risks. This explains the valuation/GDP mismatch, and it's also why emerging-markets investment strategies fall in and out of favor so frequently.
So while experts pursuing emerging-markets investment strategies insist they present a buying opportunity, to commonsense civilians and other skeptics, they look and feel like a trap. Who's right?
For the sake of prudence, let's start with the considerable risks. These involve understanding this year's big selloff and acknowledging that by betting on the likes of China, Mexico, and India, investors are embarking on a potentially lucrative but almost certainly bumpy ride. Two principal factors triggered this year's drop: shock waves from moves by the Federal Reserve Bank that raised interest rates in the U.S. and the rise in global trade tensions stoked by the Trump administration. Those factors, in turn, triggered a slowdown in emerging-market growth rates.
What ensued was fear of a meltdown that could mirror the Asian debt crisis of 1997. A funding crisis occurs when companies borrow heavily in dollars, and investors lose confidence in the ability of national governments or leading corporations to cover the interest payments. The lenders then refuse to refinance the debt, leading to a wave of bankruptcies. That's what happened in the late 1990s. "People read these headlines about countries with big currency problems, and given the disaster of 20 years ago, they get really scared," says GMO's John Thorndike.
Investors can be forgiven their concern, considering that funding crises have already hit Argentina and Turkey. The Fed's rate hikes caused the U.S. dollar to spike relative to currencies in the developing world. Many of those countries have underdeveloped capital markets, so their governments and companies borrow from abroad, frequently in dollars. As the greenback appreciates, they're forced to pay a lot more in Indonesian rupiah or Argentine pesos, for example, to meet their dollar-denominated interest payments. Central banks then lift their own rates to prevent their currencies from sliding even more, a move that slows their economies, further curbing the business and tax revenues needed to repay foreign lenders. Since late 2017, Mexico, South Korea, Russia, Indonesia, and Turkey have all raised rates, with Turkey going this year from 8% to 24%. That vicious circle may cause a downgrade in their credit, so as principal payments on their debt come due, overseas banks demand double-digit rates to refinance their loans. The possible upshot: a replay of the defaults and devaluations of 20 years ago.
The other peril is volatility. Emerging-market equities flourished in the run-up of global commodities prices for most of the 2000s as many involve resource-rich countries and net exporters. But then pricey currencies and falling prices for oil and other raw materials sent the sector into a five-year bear market. From early 2011 to the start of 2016, equities tumbled 40%, measured in dollars. For U.S. investors, returns comprise two moving parts: the trajectory of stock prices in local currencies and the exchange rate measuring the dollars the Chinese yuan or Brazilian real buys. A drop in exchange rates helped fuel the half-decade decline, a reversal in their currencies' fortunes fueled the 85% explosion starting in 2016, and another currency drop accounted for around one-third of the 20%-plus market decline from the heights in January.
Emerging-market bulls rate the sectors risks to be greatly exaggerated. For a disastrous spiral to take hold, a nation must be battling three negatives: huge foreign (usually dollar) debt, a dearth of foreign reserves, and a trade deficit. In fact, only three countries face the full trio of headwinds: Argentina, Turkey, and Indonesia. According to an analysis by Research Affiliates, all three carry heavy dollar debt, and Argentina and Turkey are grappling with full-on crises. This year it took a $50 billion bailout from the International Monetary Fund to arrest the collapse in the Argentine peso, and the country's central bank has hiked lending rates to 65%. Turkey's economy isn't in free fall, but it faces high inflation and a big balance of payment deficits. Relatively strong economic growth has enabled Indonesia to stabilize the rupiah by hiking rates to 5.75%.
Brazil and South Africa also merit concerns, if not as severe as the other three. They have medium-size dollar debt loads and carry trade deficits that force them to borrow dollars. "They're both flashing yellow," says Chris Brightman, chief investment officer for Research Affiliates. "But they also have large foreign reserves. And Brazil is finally emerging from a deep recession, while South Africa is lowering rates to restart growth." It's important to recognize that eight nations make up 82% of the MSCI index: China, South Korea, Taiwan, India, Brazil, South Africa, Mexico, and Russia. On average, those nations hold the equivalent of less than 10% of GDP in dollar debt. For China and India, the figures are 1% and 4%, respectively. Argentina now rates high enough on "developed" metrics that it's not in the MSCI index, but as a past debt-crisis sufferer, it still has the potential to stoke investor concerns about other emerging markets.
Put simply, the threat of a funding crisis in the nations that dominate the emerging-market index is minimal. "The Southeast Asian nations have not binged on dollar debt," says George Mateyo, chief investment officer at Key Private Bank. "They took their pain 20 years ago, and now all of emerging markets have been penalized with a broad brush."
What's more, even when emerging-market economies slow, they still grow faster than their grind-it-out, mature-economy counterparts. Despite the downgrade, the IMF still expects developing economies to expand at 4.7% next year. The developed world is heading in the opposite direction. The agency forecasts that GDP expansion in the industrialized world will decline from 2.4% in 2018 to 2.1% next year. "Keep in mind that the U.S. is in the 10th year of an economic up cycle, and emerging markets are in the second year," notes Chuck Knudsen, a portfolio specialist at T. Rowe Price. Also, their government debt loads, generally averaging less than 50% of GDP, are far less burdensome than those of many major economies, including Japan (253%) and the United Kingdom (85%). And emerging markets hold 80% of the world's people.
Both Research Affiliates and GMO predict far higher future returns in emerging markets compared with U.S. stocks, despite the volatility. Both point to a gap in valuations that's unjustified by fundamentals. The best measure, they say, is the cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings ratio, or CAPE, developed by Yale economist Robert Shiller. It uses a 10-year average of inflation-adjusted earnings as the denominator, correcting for temporary peaks and valleys in earnings. Today, the CAPE for the S&P 500 stands at 31.1, vs. 12.5 for emerging markets. "That means emerging-market stocks are 60% cheaper than U.S. stocks," says Arnott.
Earnings growth of 3.8% in emerging markets is just a bit better than in the U.S., says Research Associates. In part, that's because big companies headquartered in those countries face competitive factors similar to those of the U.S. and European giants. But dividend yields of 3.1% are well above the 1.9% offered by the U.S. benchmark S&P 500. (Yields reflect dividends as a percentage of prices.)
Then there's the lure that so many emerging-market stocks are so darn cheap. Rising valuations, says Brightman of Research Affiliates, should add another 1% a year. Add all the components, and emerging-market stocks should return around 10% annually over the next decade. Research Affiliates' forecast for the U.S.: 2.6%. GMO is less optimistic but believes a 5.2% annual return is probable. Still, it thinks U.S. stocks, hit by a steady contraction in valuations, will fare miserably, saddling investors with average annual losses of 3.2% through 2025.
Those rich emerging-market returns come at a price—a performance chart that careens from sharp spikes to jolting drops. According to Research Affiliates, emerging-market stocks are 50% more volatile than U.S. equities. In two-thirds of all the months you own them, you can expect 6% swings to be normal. That's a lot of lurching around. Thorndike of GMO explains why braving the roller coaster is worth it. "The great thing about cheap," he says, "is that as an investor, you don't need anything great to happen. You just need a lot of bad things not to happen." It's possible that this basket of stocks will get worse before it gets better, so you need to take the long view. When pessimism is much too high, and prices are much too low, that's the perfect time to pounce.

The Marina Bay Sands resort casino recently announced that plans are underway for a fourth tower to be added to the Singapore skyline's signature structure. However, the company announced to the press that the fourth tower will not offer casino gambling operations.
The current Marina Bay Sands Singapore has 2,600 hotel rooms, which remain constantly full at an occupancy rate of 94% – 99%. The Singaporean government agreed to the expansion of the Sands to include a fourth tower for hotel rooms, luxury suites, and entertainment venues. The current structure is an architectural wonder made up of three 57-storey towers with sloped glass facades, topped off with a giant deck resembling a boat or a surfboard.
Safdie Architects, the company which built the original Marina Bay Sands in 2011, recently released plans which illustrate a separate fourth tower to be built near the current 3 towers. Its design will mimic the aesthetic of the current 3-towered megaresort. The new tower will be home to 1,000 hotel suites and its own sky roof with a swimming pool and restaurant. It will also house meeting rooms, ballrooms, and a 15,000 seat music arena.
The decision not to include casino and gaming operations in the fourth tower was a strategic one, as it also allows for expansion of gaming space in the existing 3 towers. This will allow for the fourth tower to be devoted solely to new rooms, luxury suites, and major entertainment venues. The plans also include remodeling 63 existing suites in the 3 towers by the end of this year.
Las Vegas Sands (LVS) owns the Marina Bay Sands, and CEO Sheldon Adelson has been very pleased with the performance of their Singapore property. "Marina Bay Sands is an iconic tourism destination that has exceeded all of our hopes in growing leisure and business tourism in Singapore," Mr. Adelson said.
LVS began with the purchase of the legendary Sands Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. The Sands was an early player on the Strip and home to the Rat Pack (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr). Adelson demolished the aging casino in 1990, and built The Venetian in its place. The Venice-themed megaresort signaled the Renaissance of the Las Vegas Strip and heralded the beginnings of a new global casino empire.
LVS currently owns The Venetian Las Vegas, the Sands Macao, The Venetian Macao, and the Parisian Macao. LVS contracted Israeli-Canadian architect Moshe Safdie to build the third most expensive building in the word: the Marina Bay Sands, which opened in 2011 after construction costs of $8 billion. The fourth tower expansion project will cost around $3.3 billion. The entire resort complex was built on land reclaimed from the sea.
Architect Moshe Safdie said his inspiration for the Marina Bay Sands design came from a decks of cards. Safdie Architects specialize in cutting-edge architecture and design on a massive scale, and one of their current projects is building the tallest indoor waterfall in the world, to be opened later this year at a new airport in Singapore.
Construction should begin soon on the fourth Marina Bay Sands tower, but no completion date has been announced as of yet. The Singapore government will receive an additional $6.65 billion investment from the city-state's 2 integrated casino resorts. This investment would allow the resort owners to continue to hold a duopoly on casino gambling until 2030.

6 Things You Didn't Know About Eyebrow Threading
The first time I tried threading, it was only because there weren't any other options available. I was at the Glamour offices for a photo shoot (of my actual and very unkempt brows, no less) and while I'd waxed and tweezed my eyebrows in the past, my current M.O. was not doing anything at all. Still, my brows had to be polished (read: completely overhauled), so I submitted. It was either that or have a photo of me circulating around the internet, resembling a girl version of Peter Gallagher, otherwise known as dad-hunk Sandy Cohen from The O.C. (in case your memory needs some refreshing).
I was terrified. Threading had always seemed like the most sadistic hair removal option available, although that's a tough race to win once you throw in plucking individual hairs and tearing wax off skin. The technique, which has been the primary mode of hair removal in Asia for centuries, consists of rolling twisted cotton thread over the hairs, which unceremoniously rips each follicle right out of its pore. I know, I know: This does not sound like an enjoyable activity, and I have a notoriously low pain threshold. But once I actually felt it for myself—and saw the results in the mirror—I knew I was never going back. Fun? Not exactly. But worth it? Absolutely.
It Doesn't Hurt That Much—Really
This is the biggest factor that holds many back from threading, says Sabah Feroz, brow expert at blinkbrowbar in NYC. "Our clients tend to describe threading to be an unusual sensation but not painful," she adds. If you're super-nervous, you can ask the threading tech to try it on the peach fuzz on the back of your hand first. Once people experience it that way, they're usually down with doing the brows, she says.
You Get Defined Brows
Threading is, at its core, all about precision. "Even the tiniest hair can be teased out of its follicle," says Feroz. Because it gets every single hair, no half-grown strays are left behind. Plus, the method of threading allows for total control over which hairs are removed and which aren't. "You can get really precise with shaping," explains Marco Ochoa, celebrity brow threader and owner of EcoBrow Studio in Beverly Hills. "You can thread one hair at a time or a line of hair, giving you well-defined brows."

Maintenance Is Way Easier
Threading is so precise that it can tackle even the tiniest hairs. This means that unlike tweezing, which can't always grab onto shorter, partly-grown follicles, threading can remove all of your unwanted hairs at once, explained Umbreen Sheikh, owner of NYC's Wink Brow Bar and the woman who oversaw my own brow shaping. And because of that, they'll all grow in at the same time, so you're not whipping out tweezers or stopping in for touch-ups every week. In general, "People like to clean up by tweezing at home after two weeks of threading," says Ochoa. "I recommend my clients come in after four to five weeks to reshape their eyebrows."
It's the Gentlest Form of Hair Removal
Since only the hair is getting yanked—and skin isn't an incidental casualty—there's very little chance of irritation. "There's no pulling or straining the skin," says Feroz. Threading is so easy on sensitive or irritable (a.k.a. acne-prone) skin types, actually, that blogger and author Aimee Song swears by it.
…But It's Still Not a Spa Day
While it is the gentlest form of hair removal out there, you're still removing hair. Since the cotton thread is rubbing against skin, it can cause a little redness and minor irritation on very sensitive skin types. If that sounds like you, just follow up the service with a cooling gel. "A rose water, aloe-vera or tea-tree gel helps to calm the area, soothe the skin, and remove any redness quickly," Feroz says. Some threading salons offer it gratis post-treatment.
Save It for Facial Hair Only
"Threading is the perfect temporary solution for hair removal of any facial hairs, like the brows," says Feroz. Because of its precision, though, it's not a good option for anywhere else on the body—partly because it'll take forever, and partly because an hour or more of getting your hairs ripped out probably is not something anyone would want to do. "Waxing or laser is much faster and definitely preferred for larger areas," she notes.

Strategies for winning the fight against corruption
Series: Foresight Africa 2019
Africa in focus
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala Tuesday, January 15, 2019
Editor's Note:
Below is a viewpoint from Chapter 1 of the Foresight Africa 2019 report, which explores six overarching themes on the triumphs of the past years as well as strategies to tackle the remaining obstacles for Africa. Read the full chapter on bolstering good governance.
That corruption and poor governance are key factors holding back Africa's development are notions deeply embedded in the literature and thought on Africa's socioeconomic development. What is not so common is discourse and success stories about how to systematically fight this corruption. Though this may sound discouraging, I can tell you, from my experience, that it is indeed possible to fight corruption successfully with the right knowledge, patience, and commitment to transparency.

To fight corruption, we must first understand it. Underlying the various forms of corruption—grand, political, and administrative, which include public resource transfers to private entities, allocation of public resources to political allies, and misuse of public funds—are three important factors. The first is a lack of transparency of critical financial and other information central to economic development, in particular revenues and budgets. Second is the weakness or total absence of institutions, systems, and processes that block leakages. Third is the pervasiveness of impunity—limited political will to hold accountable and punish those found guilty of such corruption.
Between the three, the tougher problem is how to build strong and enduring institutions. Building institutions takes time and does not deliver the quick results that typically attract politicians or donors. But it is essential if Africa is to fight corruption systematically and ensure long-term stability. We are fortunate to now have technology that enables us to build electronic platforms to manage government finances, biometric systems to bring integrity to our personnel and government payment systems, and web-based platforms to provide transparency of government finances. We need to go even further to see how we can deploy blockchain and other emerging technologies to underpin our contract negotiations and procurement systems, a huge source of corruption and leakage in many countries.
Africa needs to focus its anti-corruption fight on long-term, high-return institution building activities, coupled with the justice infrastructure and political will to hold those who transgress accountable.
We should combine these efforts with building strong and independent audit and justice systems, including a well-resourced judiciary and an oversight office to field complaints. We also need to create an environment that enables strong and accountable civil society organizations that provide oversight of government. Such strong and independent institutions have a salutary effect on political will as they exert the necessary pressure on politicians, even at the highest levels, to act. Such initiatives take patience and determination though, since building these institutions, systems, and processes may take a decade or more.
My experience in Nigeria showed that a decade spanning three administrations was necessary to build well-functioning technology platforms for managing the country's finances. The savings in terms of blocked leakages, amounting to over a billion dollars, made it worthwhile.

We found that supporting institution building with openness and transparency of revenue and budgetary data provides a win that can be implemented quickly. The increasing accessibility of the inter net via mobile phones and various analytic apps makes it easier now more than ever to share with citizens information on revenues and expenditures. Publishing monthly data in national newspapers on local, state, and federal government revenues was unprecedented in Nigeria when we started in 2004, but it helped us gain public support for our initiatives going forward. It laid the basis for much more sophisticated analytics on the budget shared widely via the internet today.
Africa needs to focus its anti-corruption fight on long-term, high-return institution building activities, coupled with the justice infrastructure and political will to hold those who transgress accountable. This process should start by making key government statistics open and transparent, enabling citizens to keep on top of important information and build trust in their governments. Only with these pragmatic approaches can the continent record wins against corruption.

WHOP PHILYOR
#1 - WIDE RECEIVER - INDIANA HOOSIERS
495 YDS
54 REC
3 TD
Turning pro Philyor announced Saturday via his personal Twitter account he will enter the 2021 NFL Draft.
Impact Philyor broke out as a junior in 2019, catching 70 balls for 1,002 yards and five touchdowns. He followed it up with 54 catches for 495 yards and three scores in eight games during a shortened 2020 season. Philyor is part of a deep wide receiver class and figures to hear his name called on the second or third day of the draft. His departure will leave Ty Fryfogle as Indiana's top receiver.
JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE
18 grabs in loss to Rebels Philyor hauled in 18 receptions for 81 yards in Saturday's 26-20 loss to Mississippi in the Outback Bowl on Saturday.
Impact While the 18 receptions set a new career high for the wideout, the senior was largely contained to shorter gains as he averaged just 4.5 yards per catch. Philyor ends the the season with 54 receptions for 495 yards and three touchdowns. He's yet to announce whether he will enter the NFL Draft or return to Indiana for his extra year of eligibility.
Finds end zone vs. Wisconsin Philyor hauled in four receptions for 47 yards and one touchdown in Saturday's 14-6 win over Wisconsin.
Impact Philyor helped extend the Hoosiers' lead to 14-3 when he linked up with Jack Tuttle for a seven-yard touchdown early in the second half. It marked the third score of the season for the senior, who has hauled in 36 of 69 targets for 414 yards through seven games.

TD reception in loss to Buckeyes Philyor caught six passes for 56 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-35 loss to Ohio State.
Impact Ty Fyfogle has stolen the show in recent weeks, but Philyor continued to be a solid WR2 in Saturday's loss. He tied the game up at 7-7 with a four-yard touchdown reception early in the second quarter and totaled six catches on the day. Through five games, the senior has hauled in 30 of 43 targets for 343 yards and two touchdowns. He will look to have another productive day next Saturday against Maryland.

Тжвжик (, на армянском языке произносится [тəжвəжи́к]) — блюдо армянской кухни, основным ингредиентом которого является печень (баранья, говяжья, свиная или куриная). Помимо печени может включать любые другие субпродукты. Считается лёгким в приготовлении блюдом.

Технология приготовления
Печень после удаления желчи очищается от плёнки, а лёгкие промываются. Почки разрезаются пополам и также очищаются от плёнки. Пищевод выворачивают и хорошо промывают. Подготовленные субпродукты и курдючное сало промывают, разрезают на одинаковые куски, кладут на сковороду и жарят до полуготовности. Затем добавляют нарезанный репчатый лук, томат-пюре (необязательный ингредиент), соль, перец. Сковороду закрывают крышкой и доводят тжвжик до готовности. Блюдо подаётся посыпанным петрушкой; соль, перец по вкусу.

Отражение в культуре
Сюжет рассказа западноармянского писателя  (Саркиса Мубаяджяна) «Тжвжик» разворачивается вокруг куска печени, который богач дарит бедняку. Рассказ был экранизирован в 1961 году в коротком метре на киностудии «Арменфильм» (режиссёр А. Х. Манарян, дипломная работа).

I was tasked to talk to some women about a variety of health and exercise topics. One question included, what do you think motivates you to get or stay fit?
A common response we all had was weight loss – not necessarily any sort of big weight loss but that moment when our normal pants start feeling tight, we all agreed we feel extra motivated to get moving to get back to a "comfortable" spot for ourselves and our bodies.
Another interesting response in our discussion about fitness and just overall healthy living habits had to do with our parents. As we're all Moms in our late 30s and early 40s, we're all in a similar situation with our parents – most of them are 65+. One Mom said that watching her parents health really deteriorate in the past few years was a big motivation to her to stay fit TODAY. Her parents were not active throughout their lives so it's that much harder (impossible) for them to suddenly develop an active lifestyle.
I thought it was point that really resonated with me. About five years ago, I was carrying an extra 10 pounds. I went on a diet and lost the weight but found I felt so good having adopted a true exercise regime that I wanted to stick with it. While I had always been the occasional exerciser/runner, REALLY finally diving into a 5-day a week workout routine has changed my life. And not just physically, I truly believe that keeping active keeps me emotionally happy as well. Not to mention the good things it does for my heart!
Bottom line is that it's never too late and that you're NOT getting any younger. Better to start adopting healthy habits at 39 than 49. Or at 49 than 59, right? There's only today.
Studies show that songs with a high BPM (beats per minute) can motivate you to workout harder. Download those fun upbeat songs to really make the most of your workout!
Having a gym buddy or group fitness can be such a bigger motivator. Commit to a friend to workout to hold yourself accountable!

It's so easy to get caught in the day to day. Thanks to my ladies for participating in the lively discussion!

From Sexual Liberation to #MeToo: Pop's Unstable Marriage of Hedonism and Puritanism
Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face. – Thomas Sowell
The increasingly strident political tone of today's pop music can certainly be traced back to the various counterculture movements of the 60's. For the most part, every single one of today's hashtag campaigns is merely a remix of the protest placards of yesteryear. Swap in an open borders sentiment for the antiwar movement, and the issues remain largely the same. There is, however, one notable exception. Sexual liberation. While liberals never hesitated to proclaim the moral high ground on the entire spectrum of domestic civil rights and foreign policy, this pursuit of every form of secular liberty also included an open embrace of free love and hedonistic indulgence. This celebration of bacchanalian excess stands in sharp contrast to the duplicitous messaging of today's pop stars. The message of free love has not completely disappeared from the progressive playbook. It has been repurposed and repackaged in the continued push to normalize every form of sexual fetish and orientation. Now that every kink and perversion is celebrated throughout academia and the media, the militant preaching of the #MeToo movement rings especially hollow.

— BuzzFeed (@BuzzFeed) January 29, 2018
While the Grammy Awards may have previously suffered from being merely another stodgy and boring entertainment industry spectacle which catered to insiders, the most recent broadcast hastened its plunge into the abyss of irrelevance by turning itself into yet another megaphone for progressive moral preening around the scourge of sexual predation against womyn. The ceremony was another tiresome cavalcade of brain dead celebrities regurgitating the same idiotic homilies for #DIVERSITY you hear at every other Hollywood event. What's especially galling about this particular exercise in celebrity virtue signaling is the attempt reclaim the moral high ground on the issue of harassment when the pop and entertainment industry has long advertised itself as the Kingdom of Bacchus. Making it even worse is that both progressive academia and media continue to sound the clarion call of sexual liberation while the feminist foot soldiers seem either blissfully oblivious or willfully deceitful around the standard progressive line around sexual liberation. Setting aside the sex negative ravings of militant lesbians and misadrist harpies, the only moral condition that's applied to sexuality is consent. As long as that is established, there are no taboos. But it's not difficult to conclude that this single moral constraint is not going to offset an anything goes mentality.
And this brings us to the age old critique of liberalism. If the ideology stands for nothing more than the dissolution of conventional norms around sexuality, then what will enter the void to constrain behavior? The answer remains the same as it's always been for the liberal: the State. Since the progressive worldview is secular, the Left has no choice but to circumscribe the entire sphere of moral action to politics. Therefore, all moral pathology and transgression must be collectivized and attributed to something material (i.e. race, gender) or something that exists as a metaphysical feminist boogeyman (i.e. the patriarchy). What ensues is the same pathological and destructive quest to punish transgression that's played out throughout every leftist revolution you can name.
As a product of the cultural legacy of Boomer generation liberalism, I remain sympathetic to the counterculture excesses of the 60's and their influence on art and society. I'd like to think there's room for sexual liberty and deviations from the norm without devolving into total degeneracy. That said, it's apparent that the acids of modernity don't exactly slow their corrosion of traditional norms. Subsequently, we see progressives trying to play the dual role of champions of transgression and beacons of moral authority. Not exactly a convincing mix.

Peterson v. Newman and Progressive Creationism
Progressives like to imagine themselves the steely, hard bitten arbiters of objective truth, scientific realism and an ever elusive, albeit objectively true, secular morality based on identity. They're the self-appointed champions of a never-ending quest to abolish "oppression". You can go to just about any leftist social media page and find numerous Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson memes belittling conservatives for their refusal to accept the Settled Science of climate change and evolution. As any conversation with a progressive will confirm, conservatives are nothing more than a collection of hidebound, knuckle dragging troglodytes who hate science, gays and immigrants. And it's the poor, long suffering, enlightened progressives who are tasked with the burden of lifting these lower life forms from the swamp of evolution through political protest, hashtag campaigns, pussyhats, and increasingly, a staunch refusal to even egage their opponents on the intellectual battlefield. After all, anyone who doesn't believe in #EQUALITY is just beneath contempt.
Unfortunately for progressives, this stubborn refusal to engage oppositional views has resulted in a lazy, smug, and entitled royalist mentality. Especially when it comes to being challenged on gender equality. This was perhaps never more evident than when British television journalist, Cathy Newman interviewed Canadian clinical psychologist, Jordan Peterson. Since Jordan Peterson was catapulted into the limelight by resisting transgender pronoun tyranny, he's predictably been tarred by progressive media as yet another alt-right, white supremacist. The fact that he self-identifies as a classical liberal is rarely, if ever mentioned or that his millions of supporters span the entire political spectrum. Nor is the fact that his work is geared towards warding off chaos, taking responsibility and grounding oneself in a set of values. Most importantly, his work is deeply focused on understanding how the mind becomes ideologically possessed and devolves into a tyrannical mindset. Subsequently, he has focused a great deal of attention on the steady encroachment of identity politics into the academic and public sphere.

— Jordan B Peterson (@jordanbpeterson) January 21, 2018
This interview has justifiably been hailed as a glorious victory for both Peterson and for everyone pushing back against the cult-like mentality of #SocialJustice identity politics. When she wasn't completely strawmanning his position, Cathy Newman alternated between condescension and puffed up indignation. Peterson dismantles her at every turn with laser guided precision and his calm, dispassionate demeanor. Peterson is like a real life version of Clint Eastwood's Jonathan Hemlock in The Eiger Sanction. An intellectual who's grounded in both the quality of his scholarship and the sturdiness of his convictions. In a word, a total badass. The memes that have surfaced are legendary too.
The Peterson phenomenon not only reveals the hollow pretense of progressivism, but the transformation that has overtaken the Left. When it comes to a progressive article of faith like gender equality, the alleged appreciation for scientific rigor is exposed as a shallow façade. The very people who constantly telegraph their appreciation for #SCIENCE with protest marches, slogans and memes seem to keep their outrage exclusively confined to bashing Creationists, skepticism of climate change, or anti-vaxxers. But if you bring up biological sex differences or evolutionary psychology, somehow you become a purveyor of pseudoscience. Funny how that works.

On Spencer v. Sargon, Collectivism and the Limits of Liberalism and Libertarianism
Sargon of Akkad's recent live stream appearance with Richard Spencer was a watershed moment not just for the so-called YouTube Skeptic Community, but for classical liberalism and libertarianism alike. Specifically, it has called into question the viability of the classical liberal assumption of the primacy of individualism over collectivism. So much so, that Sargon has renounced his perch of smug detachment and hoisted the banner of "liberalist" in hopes of revitalizing a philosophy that has long been considered the pinnacle of Western secular thought but has since fallen into disrepute with the ascendancy of progressivism and postmodern neo-Marxism.
What's at issue is the classical liberal and libertarian claim that all political collective action initiated under the banner of either multicultural neo-Marxism or white nationalist identitarianism is a pathway to tyranny. Conservatives have long argued that liberalism leads to atomized individuals with no larger concerns for community or country. And in the case of the alt-right, loyalty to race. Further, the idea that rights come with responsibilities and duties has given way to a either a sense of petulant entitlement or a false pretense of morality. Take for example, the progressive argument for single payer healthcare. Classical liberals (including many conservatives) and libertarians argue that legislation which expropriates the individual in order confer material goods or services through force of law violates individual rights. State compulsion deployed in order to forcibly impose a transfer of wealth from one group to another or to fulfill a broad notion of "public good" is merely a form of legalized plunder. While it may be tempting to take the standard libertarian tack of apolitical detachment and principled rationalism, That Guy T argues a point with which any serious liberty minded person must contend.
Humanity is wired for collectivism. Society can neither be built or maintained with a mass of atomized individuals. People's moral instincts favor group welfare over appeals to individualism. No matter how tight your argument against redistribution may be, you're fighting what amounts to a religious belief in the sanctity of group welfare. In the mind of the progressive, the fulfillment of a moral imperative which redresses entrenched inequalities and structural barriers to upward economic mobility completely trounces any appeal to individual liberty.
However, I believe the critical distinction is over what form collectivism will take and where it goes wrong.
The State is an institution of collectivized force. Politics is both the art of the possible and the socially sanctioned application of institutionalised violence. When any form of collective action enters the political sphere, it is in essence, an attempt to impose a widely shared moral imperative through the force of law. The progressive left has built a completely politicized moral system atop longstanding Marxist templates of oppression. The reason they have monopolized every institution which shapes values and perception is because the leftist ideology can only be upheld and maintained through aggressive propaganda and an atomized population whose cultural and familial bonds are weak or broken.
Sargon argued that the alt-right are simply the other end of the identity politics Horseshoe Theory. Ergo, they're no different from the SJWs. The alt-right quest for an ethnostate will require all manners of state oppression, thought policing and perhaps even blood testing. The alt-right, however, are arguing that ethnic and racial homogeneity is perfectly in accord with human nature and legislating a collective consensus is easier to justify when you're providing for your own people and there are more deeply rooted bonds of family and community. The alt-right contends that racially homogeneous societies produce higher levels of trust and cohesion. Even if you don't buy the argument for racial homogeneity, the libertarian argument for decentralization and smaller units of political power lends itself to creating a more manageable social order. T argues that libertarians can be liberty "consultants" for collectivism.
That Guy T is also correct to concede that libertarianism risks becoming an irrelevant clique of sanctimonious nerds. Pretensions of intellectual and moral superiority, postures of neutral detachment nor ideological votes for doomed candidacies are likely to win the day or build the kind of future libertarians seek. Libertarians must face the possibility that all the arguments in the world won't mean anything when people will use the political apparatus without hesitation to promote what they believe to be in the best interests of their preferred group. I have previously suggested that the libertarian pursuit of pure principles and free competition of ideas has the best chance of planting the deepest roots. This was perhaps an overly charitable appraisal. Perhaps the most uncomfortable truth which must be considered is that a marketplace of ideas doesn't stand a chance unless there's a culture which values a marketplace of ideas in the first place.
