Air travel could get any worse, some moron just assured it would.
A Northwest Airlines passenger landing in Detroit on Friday tried to blow up the flight but the explosive device failed, two U.S. national security officials said.
The passenger, who was traveling on Northwest Airlines Flight 253 from Amsterdam was being questioned Friday evening, according to one of the officials, both of whom spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was continuing.
One of the reasons I like cruise vacations. Generally, I only have to fly one way. Can't deal with all the security bullshit anymore.

Celebrating the birth of history's most famous liberal
The Last Chance Democracy Cafe, in toto and without comment, links at site:
The woman was as guilty as sin of the crime of adultery: the penalty for the offense, death by stoning, was clearly established. So what was Jesus Christ's response?
"He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone."
Talk about a bleeding heart liberal!
Now, to be fair to the alligator brains out there who have somehow managed to construe words like these to constitute an endorsement of intolerance, vengefulness and greed, I should probably note that there's some controversy over whether this particular story belongs in the Bible. It wasn't in the earliest versions of the Gospel of John, apparently having been added later.
So, perhaps the alligator brains are relying, instead, on less disputed examples of Jesus Christ's teachings. This for example:
Matthew 25:33-40:
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
Let me see if I've got this straight. The test of being a good Christian is generosity toward the underprivileged. Strange. I mean, what's that got to do with the prosperity gospel?
Come to think of it, wasn't this the same man who overturned the money changing tables, declaring: "Get these out of here! Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise!"
Hasn't he heard of the divine right to unfettered and unregulated markets?
You know, if I didn't know better I'd have to say the man sounds like a card carrying . . . liberal.
Wow. Whoever would have thought there'd be a whole holiday set aside celebrating the birth of history's most famous liberal?
I find it odd that we're going to have a big ham today to celebrate the birth of a Jew.
Once again ...
Jews will outnumber Christians at the Fixer house for Christmas this year. Being a godless infidel, it ain't about the religion, it's about the family (and the food).
Happy Christmas all!
Follow the drinkin' gourd, oops, wrong star...
Everybody likes Christmas songs and this is a very pretty version of this old song. I'm not asking you to suspend your disbelief, as Mary's mother and Joseph must have done on that 'immaculate conception' shit Mary thought up to cover her ass, which story you wouldn't have tried on your mother and fiancé in your wildest dreams, but which for better or worse has lasted longer than if she said she caught it from a toilet seat, so just take it for what it's worth. Jesus was just a baby, after all. He didn't cause any lasting trouble until long after he was dead and that wasn't really his fault anyway.
We'll get to the PR stunt the world's been paying for for two thousand years come Easter.

At the other end of the scale, last in happiness – is New York state.
As if to illustrate the problem, residents attending a meeting Wednesday in rural Queensbury unleashed their anger and cynicism at a state government they described as corrupt, self-dealing and too quick to increase taxes. It was a tirade that had one lifelong resident saying he was ready to flee "this stinkin' state."

Relief For Airline Passengers
EssEffChron
Reacting to nightmare stories of passengers trapped on planes with no food, no water and overflowing toilets, the U.S. Transportation Department told airlines Monday they will soon have to allow passengers on domestic flights to get off if their planes are stuck on the tarmac for more than three hours.
Violations will bring a fine of $27,500 per passenger, the department said.
The new federal rules, which take effect in 120 days, will also require that airlines provide food and water for passengers within two hours of a plane being delayed on a tarmac and to maintain working restrooms.
The airline industry said, without enthusiasm, that it would comply with the new rules. It said one unintended consequence could be more canceled flights.
"The requirement of having planes return to the gates within a three-hour window or face significant fines is inconsistent with our goal of completing as many flights as possible. Lengthy tarmac delays benefit no one," Air Transport Association chief James May said in a statement.
Shorter: What?! Food? Water? Toilets? For fucking passengers? Who the hell are they? Damn those Liberals!

Lie of the Year
Telegraph, UK
Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has won the dubious honour of telling the biggest political lie of the year.
A panel of experts ruled her claim the Obama administration was planning to introduce "death panels" was chosen as the most misleading statement of 2009.
See the list of candidates here. The Repugs and batcrap right lie so much I'm surprised it wasn't a lot longer.
Greatly expanded post on the ramifications of the 'death panel' lie.

How quickly ...

Diane Sawyer and ABC News this week:
"Respectable lady," [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad said, "this approach has failed... raising the stick of sanctions and then saying let's negotiate. It has failed. It's over. It's not repeatable." Ahmadinejad rejected evidence that Iran is working on a neutron initiator, a device which has no civilian uses but is the trigger for a nuclear weapon. It was first reported in the Times of London which cited an internal Iranian document. The plans for a neutron initiator has been described as the "smoking gun" that allegedly proves Iran's nuclear program is intent on building a bomb.
When Sawyer asked the Iranian president if he wanted to see the document, he waved it away.
"No, I don't want to see them at all. I don't," he said. "They are all fabricated bunch of papers continuously being forged and disseminated by the American government." White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod told ABC News the accusation that the U.S. fabricated documents was "nonsense."
You see, Diane, waving around a piece of paper purporting to be 'evidence' doesn't mean shit. Were we (the U.S. and U.K.) still in control of the moral high ground, it might mean something, but after this:
The Niger uranium forgeries refers to forged documents initially revealed by Italian Military intelligence. These documents purport to depict an attempt by the regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq to purchase "yellowcake" uranium powder from Niger during the Iraq disarmament crisis.
On the basis of these documents and other indicators, the governments of the United States and the United Kingdom asserted that Iraq had attempted to procure nuclear material for the purpose of creating what they called weapons of mass destruction, referred to as WMD, in defiance of the United Nations Iraq sanctions.
Any credibility we might have had was flushed. Any 'documentation' we produce now has as much worth and use as toilet paper.
Let me posit this to the folks who now claim Iran is the next big, bad, bogeyman: Were there a limited (while destroying the better part of a city is a horror, in the big scheme of things it is nothing compared to what the Soviets could have done) nuclear detonation in the U.S. (or some other western nation, Israel included) by a terrorist group, don't you think, if Iran's (or North Korea's) complicity was determined, Iran (or North Korea) would be a smoking hole in the ground? Don't you think all those ICBMs we have stashed underground in the Dakotas and Montana and SLBMs on subs would be on their way minutes later? We kept the Soviets in check for 50 years with that threat; do you think the Iranians don't understand that little fact of life?
Listen to me, it's one thing for some retard on the street to blow himself up in a bus or in a market. There are more than enough of them to go around but do you think the Grand Ruling Council of Iran, or Mr. Ahmedinejad himself, are willing to martyr themselves? Of course not; they enjoy their power too much. If they gave a nuke to a terrorist, there would be nothing left; no nation to rule over, no holy sites, and certainly no Council. Don't you think we have their GPS coordinates programmed into at least one missile crew commander's console? I'll bet a paycheck they aren't willing to risk that, just as the Soviets weren't.
Iran's nuclear ambitions are just another tool used to scare the population into compliance, as 9/11 was, as Iraq's yellowcake was, nothing more.
Watertiger:
Democracy. You're getting soaked by it.
Bipartisanship ...
Who knew we could get there?
Hell has officially frozen over. After more than a decade of hyper-partisanship and knee-jerk, reactionary opposition to the other, the entire political spectrum of Meet the Press's roundtable panel--Markos Moulitsas, Joe Scarborough, Ed Gillespie and Tavis Smiley--all agree on one thing: the health-care reform bill sucks. There's the vaunted bipartisanship Obama sought.

A Prayer God Probably Didn't Appreciate
The Last Chance Democracy Cafe
It's fashionable, at least among polite company, to break Republicans into two groups: first, the fringe-nutcase-teabagger-birther types and; second, the "establishment Republican Party." There is increasing compelling evidence, however, that this separation is wholly artificial.
Last night Tom Coburn provided the latest — and perhaps most obnoxious yet — example of this:
At 4 p.m. Sunday afternoon — nine hours before the 1 a.m. vote that would effectively clinch the legislation's passage — Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) went to the Senate floor to propose a prayer. "What the American people ought to pray is that somebody can't make the vote tonight," he said. "That's what they ought to pray."
It was difficult to escape the conclusion that Coburn was referring to the 92-year-old, wheelchair-bound Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.V.) who has been in and out of hospitals and lay at home ailing. It would not be easy for Byrd to get out of bed in the wee hours with deep snow on the ground and ice on the roads — but without his vote, Democrats wouldn't have the 60 they needed.
If there is a God who hears the prayers of his flock, one suspects he wasn't all that happy with Coburn's suggestion. I mean, imagine you're God, and prayers are flying in, one after the other, at the speed of light:
From Jessie in Mobile: "God, my wife . . . I'm sorry to be so emotional, but we have a son . . . he's only eight. Anyway, she needs an operation for cancer and she'll need lots of expensive medicine. The thing is . . . my wife and I both have other medical problems and we couldn't get insurance after I was laid off. I don't know what we're going to do. Please God . . "
From Senator Coburn's followers: "Lord, please let Senator Byrd die so there won't be 60 votes for health care reform."
Yeah, I bet that last one was well received.
In some respects this bill stinks (e.g., no public option). But man the opposition to it on the right stinks so much worse.
Whatever you think about praying, praying for the demise and suffering of others is despicable. And typical of phony religionists.
Windy City Watch, with video:
I call on the distinguished gentleman from Illinois, Senator Durbin to take his foot out of Sen. Coburn's ass
Today the pride of Springfield, Illinois, Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL), called out Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) on the United States Senate floor for asking that the American people pray that a US Senator not be able to make it to the late night/early morning vote on health care reform. Despite Durbin's request that Coburn come out on to the Senate floor to explain his comments, the cowardly Senator from Oklahoma went into hiding.

US healthcare reforms backed by Barack Obama passed a vital vote in the Senate , clearing the way for a bill to be passed before Christmas.
In the early hours a procedural measure to block Republican delaying tactics was passed in a 60-40 vote, with unanimous Democrat backing.
The vote all but assures the passage of healthcare reforms through the Senate, a feat that eluded generations of Democrats.
Well, the Senate passed something, more or less. Let's see what happens to it in conference with the House.
Either use it ...
Or lose it. You'll see a change in the commenting system here over the next few days. Haloscan has been sold to Echo and I'll have to upgrade to it or lose close to 47,000 comments that have been archived. It kills me to have to pay for this shit but I can't export them into the Blogger commenting system (I think it's by design but that's just my paranoia coming out) and I really don't want to lose them, nor to I want to enable word verification and moderation (it's a pain in the ass for both me and commenters but the Blogger system is notoriously spam-vulnerable). It's a shakedown, but it's worth it to keep the comments from over the last 5 1/2 years.

Ritz-Carlton brings luxe life to the forest
The ironically named Spud Hilton reviews my town's latest hotel. I put this in here because Mrs. G got taken to lunch at Manzanita the other day [she had a cheeseburger ("Want pommes frites with that?")] at sixteen bucks. She said the 'molten chocolate cake' dessert was divine! She said the service was terrific - they even had a kid who came all the way from New Zealand to brush the crumbs off the table in between courses! "Whadja do in the States, mate?" "I was a crumb-brusher for rich folks."
At first blush, dropping a Ritz-Carlton in the middle of the Tahoe National Forest - the land of mountain bikers, ski bums and "Hoss" Cartwright - seems a lot like wearing a ball gown to a country barbecue.
Not really. The R-C is at Northstar-at-Tahoe, a very upscale ski area and community. My first winter job here was as a bus driver over there. I learned how to drive in snow with 36 passengers. If they only knew. Heh. The driving instruction was pretty much "Don't scrub the ski racks off and try to hit something cheap". I remember dropping people off at their (mostly) second homes, which today go for about a $million dollars, which they call 'cabins'. I've always wondered what those folks did to other people that allowed them to have second homes that cost as much as my whole block. I swear the traffic light there is rigged to take precedence over the traffic on SR 267 when a rich person wants to go somewhere.
Oh, the mountain bikers there pay to use the ski lift to ride up, the ski bums there are the employees, who are also used as guinea pigs in ski school ("Point 'em downhill and go. The rest of you watch what not to do." Do not ask how I know this. The ski lessons were free.), and Hoss is dead.
The hotel chain is the poster child for swanky (take a wild guess from where the word "ritzy" originated) and is typically associated with people who order from menus without prices and who never open a car door for themselves.
Ain't life a bitch! Sigh.
Enjoy the rest of the article, but here's the money shot, at least to me:
If the roads are good, drive back into Truckee for less Disney-fied nightlife, including live music. Watch the ice.

Does anyone use the Utility Modeling?
I am creating as builds for a large trench project in which we have three different layers of materials placed back in the trench plus pipe and manholes and bases. I was wanting to create a solid shape that would represent the manholes and bases and the pipe and then be able to run the volumes for the different layers of materials and have the report exclude the solid 3D objects. I wasn't sure if the utility module will do that or not. I know TBC can't create solid figures but it would be nice if it did and you could classify them as items not to be included in volume reports. I am paid off placed materials and need to show the volumes minus the structures and pipe. This is the MH and base with just one of the surfaces shown. Hopefully this give you an idea of what I am after.
The utility takeoff report excludes the volume of the pipe in the trench and reports the volumes occupied by the manholes separately - The report gives you two tabs - one with the trench quantities (excl. the pipe, the other the manhole quantities and their accumulated displacement volume. If you take the first qty and subtract the second quantity you get the net volume. What it doesn't do is break out the manhole displacememnt volume into the material layer quantities, so if you need that you need to pro rate the Manhole quantites based on the depth of materials placed in the trench (i.e. if the Manholes are 2% of the total volume then reduce each layer material by 2% and you will be very close. Since manhole quantities are a pretty small percentage of the totals anyway.
The utility Pipes and Manholes / Boxes are a solid and they do displace volume in the Takeoff reports for Utilities. They do not however affect the volumes in Earthworks Reports or Corridor Earthworks reports at this time.

Once the slurry encounters a permeable formation, the cement solids are filtered out of the slurry as the liquid phase is forced into the formation matrix in the form of cement filtrate. A properly designed squeeze-cement operation will fill the relevant holes and voids with cement filter cake that will cure to form an impenetrable barrier.
The forcing, by pressure, of cement slurry into a specified location in a well, such as channels or perforations, for the purpose of achieving zonal isolation. Squeeze cementing is a remedial cementing technique used to repair flaws in primary cement or damage incurred by corrosive fluids.


TIP! You don't want to ever think that your team members are able to know what you're thinking. Make sure they understand exactly what's expected of them.
To really enjoy life, it's important to know what it means to become a better leader. You have to make sure you make the most of the leadership opportunities for you. The following article will offer suggestions on how this can be done.
TIP! Honesty is vitally important to a leader. A good leader needs to instill trust.
When you want to lead, keep your morals in mind. Decisions you make need to be ones that others are happy with and you are happy with, too. If a decision will upset you, don't do it. Some might not have your morals, but you have to do the thing you know to be right.
TIP! When you want to lead, keep your morals in mind. Make sure you will be able to live with your decisions.
Be clear with possible issues whenever you can. A while back people used to just hide what was going on, but these days leaders don't do that any longer. Why the change? Communication is prized nowadays. The truth will come out, one way or another. Why not control the message that comes out, instead of reacting? This is what great leaders do.
Don't pretend that you know everything just because you are in a leadership position. While you may truly be a great leader, you can always learn from your peers. They may offer advice about improving and executing your idea, and they may highlight problems that appear in the plan.
TIP! Tenacity is a very important characteristic of successful leaders. If the project goes downhill, you will be the team's guide as far as reaction goes.
Anyways convey an air of approachability. There are a great number of people who assume that ruling with an iron fist and intimidation are the right way to show leadership. If you try to show that you are boss by striking fear in the heart of your subordinates, it will be next to impossible to earn their respect. Part of your position is to ensure your team performs well, so ensure that they know that your door is open.
TIP! To be a leader that's good at what they do, you shouldn't give up your morals to compete with others. Find another way to compete if you aren't comfortable.
Set team goals high but make sure they are not impossible to reach. Don't set the team up to fail. That is a sure way to show that you do not have the makings of a true leader.
TIP! Offer incentives to people that do their jobs well. Incentives are a great way to boost morale and productivity.
A good leader is always honing his abilities. Be sure you're aware of what you are doing when you lead others. This article should be a great way for you to start improving your leadership skills. It'll help you be ready to lead the next time you're called upon to do so.

AP Exclusive: CIA following Twitter, Facebook
By KIMBERLY DOZIER , AP Intelligence Writer
In this March 30, 2011, file photo, a mural depicting a man in shackles and the Facebook logo and a mobile phone is seen on the wall of the University of Helwan arts academy in the Zamalek neighborhood of Cairo, Egypt. The team from the CIA's Open Source Center, housed in a unassuming brick building in a Virginia industrial park, pores daily over tweets, Facebook, newspapers, TV news channels, local radio stations, Internet chat rooms _ anything overseas that anyone can access, and contribute to, openly. The center saw the uprising in Egypt coming said the center's director, Doug Naquin. The center already had "predicted that social media in places like Egypt could be a game-changer and a threat to the regime," he said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. (AP Photo/Manoocher Deghati, File)
(AP) -- In an anonymous industrial park in Virginia, in an unassuming brick building, the CIA is following tweets - up to 5 million a day.
At the agency's Open Source Center, a team known affectionately as the "vengeful librarians" also pores over Facebook, newspapers, TV news channels, local radio stations, Internet chat rooms - anything overseas that anyone can access and contribute to openly.
From Arabic to Mandarin Chinese, from an angry tweet to a thoughtful blog, the analysts gather the information, often in native tongue. They cross-reference it with the local newspaper or a clandestinely intercepted phone conversation. From there, they build a picture sought by the highest levels at the White House, giving a real-time peek, for example, at the mood of a region after the Navy SEAL raid that killed Osama bin Laden or perhaps a prediction of which Mideast nation seems ripe for revolt.
Yes, they saw the uprising in Egypt coming; they just didn't know exactly when revolution might hit, said the center's director, Doug Naquin.
The center already had "predicted that social media in places like Egypt could be a game-changer and a threat to the regime," he said in a recent interview with The Associated Press at the center. CIA officials said it was the first such visit by a reporter the agency has ever granted.
The CIA facility was set up in response to a recommendation by the 9/11 Commission, with its first priority to focus on counterterrorism and counterproliferation. But its several hundred analysts - the actual number is classified - track a broad range, from Chinese Internet access to the mood on the street in Pakistan.
While most are based in Virginia, the analysts also are scattered throughout U.S. embassies worldwide to get a step closer to the pulse of their subjects.
The most successful analysts, Naquin said, are something like the heroine of the crime novel "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," a quirky, irreverent computer hacker who "knows how to find stuff other people don't know exists."
Those with a masters' degree in library science and multiple languages, especially those who grew up speaking another language, "make a powerful open source officer," Naquin said.
The center had started focusing on social media after watching the Twitter-sphere rock the Iranian regime during the Green Revolution of 2009, when thousands protested the results of the elections that put Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad back in power. "Farsi was the third largest presence in social media blogs at the time on the Web," Naquin said.
The center's analysis ends up in President Barack Obama's daily intelligence briefing in one form or another, almost every day.
After bin Laden was killed in Pakistan in May, the CIA followed Twitter to give the White House a snapshot of world public opinion.
Since tweets can't necessarily be pegged to a geographic location, the analysts broke down reaction by languages. The result: The majority of Urdu tweets, the language of Pakistan, and Chinese tweets, were negative. China is a close ally of Pakistan's. Pakistani officials protested the raid as an affront to their nation's sovereignty, a sore point that continues to complicate U.S.-Pakistani relations.
When the president gave his speech addressing Mideast issues a few weeks after the raid, the tweet response over the next 24 hours came in negative from Turkey, Egypt, Yemen, Algeria, the Persian Gulf and Israel, too, with speakers of Arabic and Turkic tweets charging that Obama favored Israel, and Hebrew tweets denouncing the speech as pro-Arab.
In the next few days, major news media came to the same conclusion, as did analysis by the covert side of U.S. intelligence based on intercepts and human intelligence gathered in the region.
The center is also in the process of comparing its social media results with the track record of polling organizations, trying to see which produces more accurate results, Naquin said.
"We do what we can to caveat that we may be getting an overrepresentation of the urban elite," said Naquin, acknowledging that only a small slice of the population in many areas they are monitoring has access to computers and Internet. But he points out that access to social media sites via cellphones is growing in areas like Africa, meaning a "wider portion of the population than you might expect is sounding off and holding forth than it might appear if you count the Internet hookups in a given country."
Sites like Facebook and Twitter also have become a key resource for following a fast-moving crisis such as the riots that raged across Bangkok in April and May of last year, the center's deputy director said. The Associated Press agreed not to identify him because he sometimes still works undercover in foreign countries.
As director, Naquin is identified publicly by the agency although the location of the center is kept secret to deter attacks, whether physical or electronic.
The deputy director was one of a skeleton crew of 20 U.S. government employees who kept the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok running throughout the rioting as protesters surged through the streets, swarming the embassy neighborhood and trapping U.S. diplomats and Thais alike in their homes.
The army moved in, and traditional media reporting slowed to a trickle as local reporters were either trapped or cowed by government forces.
"But within an hour, it was all surging out on Twitter and Facebook," the deputy director said. The CIA homed in on 12 to 15 users who tweeted situation reports and cellphone photos of demonstrations. The CIA staff cross-referenced the tweeters with the limited news reports to figure out who among them was providing reliable information. Tweeters also policed themselves, pointing out when someone else had filed an inaccurate account.
"That helped us narrow down to those dozen we could count on," he said.
Ultimately, some two-thirds of the reports coming out of the embassy being sent back to all branches of government in Washington came from the CIA's open source analysis throughout the crisis.

Q: How can I convert a tuple of floats to integers without having to convert each individual tuple element in Python? I have this code in Python:
self.__color = (int(f * c[0] * Li[0]), int(f * c[1] * Li[1]), int(f * c[2] * Li[2]))

How can I convert each element of the tuple to an int instead of having to cast each element like I do above?
I want to do something like:
int((float, float, float)) --> (int, int, int)

A: You can use a generator
self.__color = (int(x) for x in (f * c[0] * Li[0], f * c[1] * Li[1], f * c[2] * Li[2], 0))

Q: How do I plot the Variable Importance of my trained rpart decision tree model? I trained a model using rpart and I want to generate a plot displaying the Variable Importance for the variables it used for the decision tree, but I cannot figure out how.
I was able to extract the Variable Importance. I've tried ggplot but none of the information shows up. I tried using the plot() function on it, but it only gives me a flat graph. I also tried plot.default, which is a little better but still now what I want.
Here's rpart model training:
argIDCART = rpart(Argument ~ .,
                  data = trainSparse,
                  method = "class")

Got the variable importance into a data frame.
argPlot <- as.data.frame(argIDCART$variable.importance)

Here is a section of what that prints:
       argIDCART$variable.importance
noth                             23.339346
humanitarian                     16.584430
council                          13.140252
law                              11.347241
presid                           11.231916
treati                            9.945111
support                           8.670958

I'd like to plot a graph that shows the variable/feature name and its numerical importance. I just can't get it to do that. It appears to only have one column. I tried separating them using the separate function, but can't do that either.
ggplot(argPlot, aes(x = "variable importance", y = "feature"))

Just prints blank.
The other plots look really bad.
plot.default(argPlot)

Looks like it plots the points, but doesn't put the variable name.

A: Since there is no reproducible example available, I mounted my response based on an own R dataset using the ggplot2 package and other packages for data manipulation.
library(rpart)
library(tidyverse)
fit <- rpart(Kyphosis ~ Age + Number + Start, data = kyphosis)
df <- data.frame(imp = fit$variable.importance)
df2 <- df %>%
  tibble::rownames_to_column() %>%
  dplyr::rename("variable" = rowname) %>%
  dplyr::arrange(imp) %>%
  dplyr::mutate(variable = forcats::fct_inorder(variable))
ggplot2::ggplot(df2) +
  geom_col(aes(x = variable, y = imp),
           col = "black", show.legend = F) +
  coord_flip() +
  scale_fill_grey() +
  theme_bw()

ggplot2::ggplot(df2) +
  geom_segment(aes(x = variable, y = 0, xend = variable, yend = imp),
               size = 1.5, alpha = 0.7) +
  geom_point(aes(x = variable, y = imp, col = variable),
             size = 4, show.legend = F) +
  coord_flip() +
  theme_bw()

A: If you want to see the variable names, it may be best to use them as the labels on the x-axis.
plot(argIDCART$variable.importance, xlab="variable",
    ylab="Importance", xaxt = "n", pch=20)
axis(1, at=1:7, labels=row.names(argIDCART))

(You may need to resize the window to see the labels properly.)
If you have a lot of variables,  you may want to rotate the variable names so that the do not overlap.
par(mar=c(7,4,3,2))
plot(argIDCART$variable.importance, xlab="variable",
    ylab="Importance", xaxt = "n", pch=20)
axis(1, at=1:7, labels=row.names(argIDCART), las=2)

Data
argIDCART = read.table(text="variable.importance
noth                             23.339346
humanitarian                     16.584430

The Palmetto Animal League of Bluffton has received a $20,000 grant from Tom's of Maine for its efforts to help stray dogs find a home. PAL was one of five nonprofit organizations to win a grant after online voting by the public in the "50 States for Good" initiative, according to a news release from Tom's of Maine, a "natural products" company. The program is designed to spotlight local nonprofit projects. PAL plans to use the money to build a "dog lifestyle room" to help acquaint dogs with living in a home, so they will be able to acclimate to their surroundings after they are adopted, the release said. "This grant ... allows us to make sure the dogs have everything they need to find a permanent home," PAL executive director Amy Campanini said in the release.

New Technologies and the Preservation of Cultural Heritage, 1-3 Mai
30 avril 2020 Le CCRP
Starting this Friday, on 1-3 May, museum directors, artificial intelligence (AI) specialists, writers, professors of science and architecture theory and other thinkers are meeting online to discuss what can be done with digital technology, now and in the future. The free-to-attend event has been organised by The Art Newspaper and Factum Foundation, with Il Giornale dell'Arte.
The discussions will consider, but go far beyond the question, if an object can be reproduced exactly, which has the "aura"—the original or the facsimile? They will be broadcast live on The Art Newspaper's YouTube channel,
Discussion 1: The Future of Museums, Exhibitions and the Objects they Display
Rethinking the role and value of culture in the shadow of an uncertain future
Friday 1 May, 5pm BST/12pm EST
The role of the museum as a repository of physical objects that give access to collective memory is changing. New digital recording technologies that (among other things) allow exact facsimiles to be made and are providing access to a global audience, while new display technologies are inviting us to look at the nature of the object with new eyes.
This panel discusses the purpose of a museum, its role, what should it show, how and to whom. It will look at the way technology is making a « museum without walls » possible and realigning the relationship between the original and the authentic. Is the "aura" of originality now an obsession that is constraining what can be displayed, how it can be
seen and how it can be effectively preserved?

Discussion 2: The Circulation of Objects: the Politics of Recording, Training, Preserving and Sharing
Creating a cultural economy based on sharing skills, technologies and knowledge
Saturday 2 May, 5pm BST/12pm EST
For museums and other cultural heritage institutions, digital technologies open up unprecedented possibilities for sharing and collaboration, but they also give rise to new responsibilities. This panel asks how the international heritage community can best work to create accurate records and share both objects and knowledge with audiences across the world.

Icons of Sound – Total Sacred Immersion: Cappella Romana and CCRMA Time Travel to Hagia Sophia
When it comes to a technology called "convolution reverb," we can virtually feel the air pressure of sound in a physical space, such that "listening in may be viewed as much as a spatial experience as it is a temporal one." So notes Stanford's Icons of Sound, a collaboration between the University's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) and the Department of Art & Art History. The researchers in this joint project have combined resources to create a performance of Byzantine chant from the 6th century CE, simulated to sound like it takes place inside a prime acoustic environment designed for this very music, the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul.

Patrick Warren's Son Had No Idea an Armed Cop Would Come and Shoot His Dad Dead
TMZ.com
The son of Patrick Warren — the man with mental health issues who was shot and killed by a cop this month — says he felt betrayed when the officer arrived, because he didn't want an armed police officer dealing with his dad.
Patrick Jr. appeared on "TMZ Live" Monday … where he talked about the horror of watching his father die in front of the entire family.
As we reported, the family called 911 the day before Patrick Warren was gunned down. A mental health resource officer came out and talked to the man, who was outside praising God and would not come inside the house. The officer sat on the sofa, reasoned with Patrick and they then walked calmly to a car where the officer took the man to a hospital to get checked out. It was peaceful and successful.
ring.com
Patrick Jr. says the next day they had a similar problem and he called the mental health unit again, expecting a mental health officer would return. Instead, Patrick Jr. says he saw an armed cop with a gun, who almost immediately escalated the situation.
Patrick Jr. says his dad was not violent either day, and he pleaded with the cop not to use his gun.
Sadly, Patrick Jr. says he has a little brother who also has special needs, but now he's afraid to call anyone for help.
He and his lawyer, Lee Merritt, want the cop who shot Patrick Sr. dead fired, arrested and charged.


This is our official list in search of the best dash cam for truckers on the market today. Scroll further down for full details on each product and a brief guide to dash cams for trucking.
With the population growing at a rapid rate, the highways are filling up with vehicles, and every day, truck drivers must drive alongside thousands of other drivers. Since there is no way to know when an accident is going to occur, it's better to be prepared with the best dash cam for truckers.
Some of the first dash cams shot terrible video because the technology was still new. Over time, many technological improvements have been made to dash cams, and they've become essential tools for all drivers. Many fleet owners are investing in dash cams because they can help lower insurance rates and protect truck drivers from fraudulent lawsuits.
When used in a courtroom, video evidence is extremely powerful because it's virtually indisputable. A modern dash cam is designed to mount to the window, and it will record live video while you drive.
Many of the latest dash cams can record continuous video and overwrite existing data. This is a huge advantage because it eliminates the need to constantly swap out the memory card.
Due to the fact that they move at a slower speed, many truck drivers are victims of road rage, and if there are no witnesses, footage from a dash cam could save the day. Below, you'll find reviews for some of the best dash cams for truckers.
The KDLINKS X1 captures full HD video, which can be viewed in a 1920×1080 resolution. The video from this cam is recorded at 30 frames per second, and the KDLINKS X1 records live footage in a continuous loop, which is very convenient.

The DBPOWER 2K FHD DVR offers smooth recording and uses an OV4689 sensor for great video quality. This dash cam is a top choice for truckers, and it captures clear footage of street signs and license plates.
With an extra-wide angle, this camera captures more area around your truck, and the HDR systems allows it to capture high-quality video during any part of the day.
An emergency lock button allows you to instantly lock a video file, and the built-in G sensor can detect when an accident occurs and prevent the video file from being overwritten.
A snapshot feature makes it easy for you to take great pictures, and the camera can capture 16MP images. To get started, all that you need to do is plug the camera into a power source and hit record.
The ITRUE X6D Dual is easy to install, and it's a top pick for truck drivers. This dash cam features a 2.4-inch TFT LCD screen, and once you start your vehicle, it will automatically start recording.
The video is captured in a continuous loop, and since the footage is recorded in full HD, it's easy to read license plates and street signs. The ITRUE X6D Dual uses an AR0330 sensor to capture clear video, and to cover a larger area, it uses a 170-degree angle.
A built-in G sensor can detect when the vehicle has been involved in an accident, and it will automatically lock the current video file and prevent the camera from overwriting it.
This camera is even compatible with a GPS system, and it can monitor your speed. The memory bank can support up to a 64GB TF or SD card, and the ITRUE X6D Dual comes with a 16GB card.
The HQR X5 is lightweight, affordable and reliable, and with a compact size, it doesn't take up much space on the dash. This camera records footage in full HD, and it automatically starts recording after you turn your truck on.
Unlike many other dash cams, this product comes with built-in night vision, and it's a suitable choice for night driving. Since it has such a compact size, it fits easily behind the rearview mirror, and it won't obstruct your view of the road.
The HQR X5 comes with a built-in motion detector, and it can detect when you've been involved in an accident, which causes it to lock the video file. All of the recorded video files can be saved and accessed on a computer.
A dash cam is a camera mounted on the dashboard or interior windscreen, and provides continuous footage of whatever you can see out of the windshield of your vehicle.
They generally record what is going on outside the vehicle, although you can also buy some that will record what is going on inside the vehicle instead. You can even buy some with multiple lenses that will record both what's in front and what's behind the camera.
Their most common use is to guard against being sued in event of a collision, but they can also be used to record vandalism in parking lots, and to guard against insurance fraud.
Most dash cams work by plugging directly into the power of the car and automatically start recording when your car starts. Some cameras will have a location tracker and record the time and date, and some stay on standby till you actually crash, and only then start recording.
Do you want to just record what is happening outside your windshield, or do you want to record what is going on inside the cab too? Most basic dash cams have a single lens which records what is going in through the windshield, but it is possible to get multiple lenses if you want more than that.
You might also what to record what is going on behind your truck, which is another option, and here again a dual lens camera will be what you need. You can usually put the rear camera wherever you need it – either to keep an eye on the cab, or something valuable that you're carrying, or next to the rear windshield to record what's going on behind the truck.
There are different sizes of cameras too – the biggest issue here being that it might catch the eye of someone who would likely break in and steal it if it is on the bigger side. If you are worried about theft, you can either treat your camera like a phone, and take it with you when you leave the vehicle, or opt for a low profile version that wouldn't be noticed.
Video quality varies widely from camera to camera. If you are likely to be uploading your footage on You Tube then you might want higher quality. But if it is just a basic safeguard against legal action then it's probably not a big deal. With higher quality it might make you able to read licence plates in case of a hit and run, but will also be more expensive to buy.
Some dash cams sport GPS locators which can help you if you want to prove where you were at a certain time, and others will use the GPS to give you navigation directions too, so if you also need a navigation system then this might be the way to go.
If you are a business owner and own a truck which you're not going to be driving, consider the professional options which give you tamper proof recordings. These cameras can sometimes be tracked remotely so you can keep track of where your trucks are, and will feature locked memory cards or power cords so that they can't be removed.
If you are a trucker you really need a dash cam. Just think of how many hours of driving you do, and how many cases of bad driving you see every day. Then fast forward to the day when you're probably going to meet one of these bad drivers a bit closer than you'd like, and they sue you.
Lots of lawyers love to take cases where truck drivers are sued, because it's easy for most people to believe you're the culprit because you're truck is so big and you have large blind spots. But even if you are innocent, will you have any evidence to defend yourself? A dash cam will help you out by giving clear proof of what happened that can't be ignored.
These cameras can also help if you are parked somewhere and afraid your truck might get broken into or scraped by a passing car – they can give you much needed evidence to either claim insurance or nail the culprits who did it.
Then there are people who will deliberately walk out into traffic to try and get hit so that they can claim insurance! This apparently happens a lot in Russia, but you never know where else it might occur, so these cameras will help you out in court if someone is trying to pin something on you that you didn't do.
If you're looking for a bit of fun and adventure, you can also use a dash cam to record your road trip – maybe you can get some funny incidents to upload to You Tube! You also may find you pick up some unexpected footage of things like meteors on the way.
Avoid getting a dash cam that is made of too cheap a material, as it might lead to it melting in hot weather. Also be aware that most dash cams have internal batteries but they only last for a few minutes, so don't get one if you're planning to have it record when your car engine is off, unless it is specifically advertised to do that for long periods of time.
Some cameras have been found not to loop and re-record on the memory card, so make sure it is advertised to be looping if you want that.
It is advisable to remove your camera from the car if you leave it parked for extended periods in hot sunshine, as electrical items don't tend to bear up very well under extreme heat.
How long can it record for at one time?
This usually depends on the size of memory card that you use. An 8GB card will often record HD for 2-3 hours, and a 128GB card for 20-40 hrs. If you record with standard definition, this will be twice as long.
Are there any legal ramifications of having a dash cam?
You might need to check on the eavesdropping rules in your state if you dash cam has audio, as in some states it is illegal, or at least illegal if you're not party to the conversation. To be safe, just mute the microphone if you drop the truck off to be worked on, or someone else is going to drive it.
With no way to know when you're going to be involved in an accident, it's better to be prepared for the worst, and the best dash cam for truckers makes it easy to see who was at fault.
Depending on the situation, a high-quality dash cam can protect you from lawsuits, and it has the potential to save you hundreds of thousands of dollars.


Brooke, you Texas boyz role hard you are correct, this could be a game changer.
I have a few questions for you, if you are increasing boost, is this due to a reduction in blower pulley size? If that is the case belt slip would be more prone due to a smaller contact surface would it not. Going lighter in the pulley setup is definitely beneficial, could that be where the extra boost pickup is planned? There is definitely a sweet spot in reducing upper pulley size and increasing lower pulley size to maximize both HP/TQ. Coming from a rich background of the Eaton and twin screw blower, being able to manipulate the blower pulley sizing would bring major HP gains.
Either way, this is a major break through, and props to the TEXAS Playas.
We all will need clutches, so this takes care of one problem. Only takes a small decrease in pulley size to make up for a lot of S/C rpm. Belt slip will not be a problem. This also gives another option to alter boost, VS crank pulley change. 2) A lot of people may want to go up in boost by 6-8mm , change clutch and not have to remove crank pulley.
I was motivated a year ago to work on this, as my clutch is going bad, wanted a tad more boost , less rotational mass and most all of " it was postd many times that is was impossible to do" on the 55. We all know CODE 3 made the first aftermarket S/C for the 32 but they also could not pull off the e55 pulley. I think a few compabies have made since made replicas of the C32 by code 3..
I am pumped!! I am OCD about the challenges of designing/sourcing better GO FAST products for us. We all been having a lot of fun down here and more than happy to share my MFG contacts and resources to help. Lot of members have helped me out and that is what it is all about.
+1 ... would be awesome with my 168 crank pulley --- will this change the clutch engagement pack too??? or just a new contact wheel?
You get the pulley, high speed bearings and plate assembly.
BTW, I use Finite Element Analysis to maximize weight reduction and maintain strenght. This is the crucial engineering tool to make this pulley work on the E55 after all these years. Can you image how fast your blower/engine will rev up with a couple pounds less weight to spin at 15000 rpm deal with. One pound off would be like spinning 15000 less lbs a minute at WOT .
I am in, pm me pricing if you don't want to release it yet.
Brooke, thank you and the Texas crews for pioneer these goo fast goodies for the community. Keep up the good works!!
Very interesting, less rotational mass on the blower certainly could ease the engines job. Pulley sizes are getting a little carried away for crank size also, so something like this could help a lot to get the boost you want and be able to run a smaller crank pulley to also lower that rotational mass.
I would like to see the Bypass shut off and then block the hole(welded?) so boost cant push past the blade and then run a nice BOV on the surge tank.
I have the 180mm pulley already installed, would it be advisable to run this in addition or will the heat kill me?

Well they did do ONE 55 sc pulley many years ago. Who who who ah ah ah ahhhhh!! I am so bad. Unfortunately like most my mods back then it was in a drunken stupor( modding being the booze) and I got no dynos blah blah blah. Sounds amazing what you are doing B!! I need to just switch my sig to "holy cow" with bowing for the weekly stuff going on here lately!!
Guys great idea,the guys over in the middle east have done this also but when I asked they wanted 2k for the smaller pulley.
One thing you should try to make is the ability to swap out the outer pulley without taking the whole clutch apart so when we want to add or minus boost it will be cake.
You won't believe it, the guy who do that business here ( I don't know him actually ), he buys new pulley, takes it to one workshop to work on it for (100 USD) and then sell it as new pulley for 1400 USD (around that number), the new pulley cost here 1145 USD.
One of my friends found out where is that shop and told me, when you want to do your pulley, just let me know and don't go for that Thief.
It is a shame on some persons and vendors that easy modification can be done and they force you to buy a new part by cheating.
code3 (brandon) had a break through with the s/c pulley. I was one of the very first beta testers, including his intake.
Since I had both cars.. I can tell you the C32 with a smaller S/C pulley and intake was instant power delivery. Nothing like it.
My E55 has this gradual boost in comparison.
I would assume the throttle response of S/C pulley with the E55 will be much improved.
There is a limit on the E55 in terms of bearing size. So a mild boost S/C pulley and tune will not yield Crank pulley/Tune HP and TQ numbers. However it would be very simple to install and easy to remove.
For the C32, it was much easier to remove.
Try to make the color match OEM. This will help just in case you take it to the dealer.
Can't wait for pricing. Sign me up for one.
I'll take one of those 50..thanks!
<-- PM that guy with a price.
I know a couple of people have modified the stock 55 pulley but very small gains can be made there. This part is a complete new assembly, made in USA and every part of the assembly is new. Clutch plate, pulley, bearings, rivots, springs and clutch/pulley spacers. A new assembly from MB is around 1K!!!!
Just like when I had the idler pulley`s made to replace the factory 400 dollar set; they are lighter, better bearings and save us all a ton of money!
The reason so many parts get made, is that no one will run 2-3 sets of anything!! The CNC has to be programed, drawings made and they laugh at you for a couple sets. Thats why when I want something for my car, I pay to have the the min. quanity run met. Lot business need the work, so it is a win, win for everyone.
I sent a lot of parts off all over the country in the last week , since I came back from SEMA but dont want to get kicked off the site, if I mention them all and hurt a vendors feelings.. I wish that all of us auto enthusiast could make what we want and talk about it but we saw what happened to Shardul.
BTW, plan to have ultra high quality German bearings in this S/C pulley, so it can take all the extra high rpm !
I need/want one of these.

Spotlight On… Anita Asante
Posted at 09:34h in Discussion, Women's Super League by Charlotte Stacey
The morning before her 37th birthday, Aston Villa defender Anita Asante announced her retirement from professional football.
Asante's announcement was perhaps slightly surprising, but sewing up an immense twenty-year career was bound to come sooner or later. Asante's presence is one as familiar as a pitch itself and a WSL season without the centre-back gracing the grass will certainly take some getting used to.
From childhood football in the cages of North London to representing Great Britain in the Olympics, Asante's career has taken her across the globe and seen her win multiple accolades, always at the very pinnacle of the game.
Signing a senior contract at her beloved Arsenal in 2003 as a teenager, Asante was a part of the Gunners squad that made history becoming the first and only club to win the quadruple (Premier League, Premier League Cup, FA Cup and Champions League) in 2006-07. Asante is widely regarded to have played an exceptional game in the Champions League final against Swedish side Umeå.
Photo: @neetz2
Asante then moved across London to join Chelsea for a year before spending the next portion of her career overseas. In 2009 Asante joined New Jersey side Sky Blue FC in the inaugural season of the Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) and helped the side to win their first campaign. She was then traded to the now obsolete Saint Louis Athletica and the briefly joined Chicago Red Stars. Asante moved once again in 2010 to Washington Spirit before following then coach Jim Gabarra back to Sky Blue.
After the WPS folded in 2012, Asante took the opportunity to head back to Europe and settled into the Damallsvenskan, the top-flight of women's football in Sweden. Asante joined Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC (now known as BK Häcken) and went on to make 41 appearances and score nine goals, as well as winning the Svenska Cupen (Swedish Cup) and the Svenska Supercupen (Swedish Super Cup).
The defender then moved across to Swedish champions LdB FC Malmö (now known as FC Rosengård) and continued her illustrious run abroad. Asante picked up hordes of silverware in her four years with Rosengård, including the league title in 2014 and 2015, the Swedish Cup in 2016 and the Swedish Super Cup in 2016 and 2017. She also was part of the side that reached three Champions League quarter finals.
Swedish dominance achieved; Asante returned to England to join Chelsea in the WSL in 2018 before signing the final contract of her career with Aston Villa in 2020 for their first campaign in the top division. Rather fittingly, Asante's final away match came against Arsenal, signing out the very same way she signed in.
With such noteworthy domestic form, it is unsurprising that Asante's international bearing is no less impressive. Asante played for England through the youth groups and captained the U19 Lionesses to victory in 2002 at the U19 World Cup. Asante went on to make her senior debut in 2004 and subsequently made 71 appearances and scored two goals for her country. Asante was also part of the 2012 Olympic squad in which she featured prominently, playing in all four of Team GB's matches before their eventual defeat in the final eight.
Asante's style of play is simple; no nonsense, fundamentally driven, quality defending, and it has been her complete mastery of the basics that have kept her at the top for so long. In the final stretch of her pitch side endeavours Asante has played over 35 games for Aston Villa, still an essential part of the set-up as she was twenty years ago.
Timely blocks, clever interceptions, imposing body positioning to force an opponent onto the wrong foot, all make up the small details of Asante's game. Yet, possibly where she is most deadly is in one-v-one situations. Governing that backline with a notable astuteness, Asante is incredibly calm when handling immediate pressure. She will stick with an attacker before knowingly using her physicality or smart footwork to dispossess. In fact, in this final season alone, Asante leads as the player who has tackled the greatest number of dribblers throughout the term. Put simply, one sighs a certain amount of relief when Asante's name pops up in the starting eleven.
Asante's mark, however, has not just been stamped between the confines of the touchlines. Advocate and activist, for many years Asante has campaigned for the rights of the LGBTQAI+ community, as well as strongly supporting Show Racism the Red Card and Amnesty International and Goals for Girls.
Looking ahead, it seems there will be plenty on the horizon. Asante already lends her experienced voice to the masses, sharing her expertise in educating the nuances of women's football as a pundit within the media industry. Yet further than that, Asante has ambitions that will eventually see her back in the dugout, aspiring to come full circle and head back to where it all began. Asante hopes to one day return to The Arsenal and manage the club that has sparked two decades of a remarkable life.
"My long-term ambition is to one day manage my childhood club – it would be amazing to go back to where it all began. I want to live again in that world that gave me so much."
Anita Asante
It is abundantly clear there is a deep passion that runs through Asante for the causes and issues that are close to her, and whilst pitch may lose a great, the sport and its lending organisations gain someone truly special. The floods of tributes from coaches, players and supporters alike only served to confirm the iconic status of the stalwart. Plain and simple, the pitch will miss the ever-present excellence of Anita Asante.

HONG KONG—An outspoken Hong Kong radio host who lost his job in a storm over press freedom in the former British colony has vowed to bring the voice of the territory's citizens into the Legislative Council instead.
Albert Cheng, former host of Commercial Radio's hugely popular Teacup in a Storm political call-in show, was elected to Hong Kong's Legislative Council in Sunday's elections as an independent candidate.
He told RFA's Cantonese service that anyone who thought press freedom was doing well since the 1997 handover to Chinese rule was talking rubbish.
"Anyone who says this is not familiar with the basic principles of press freedom," said Cheng, who was among five candidates elected to represent the Kowloon East constituency. "Freedom of the press means protecting the freedom of every single person to freedom of expression and press freedom."
Cheng said his new role as legislator was "like stepping onto the pitch and joining in the game" compared with the observing and commentating role of radio presenter.
Cheng stopped presenting Teacup , and the show was pulled until after the elections, following a labyrinthine contractual dispute between him and Commercial Radio director Winnie Yu.
The raucous late-morning chat show, with its tea-pouring sound effect and jaunty signature tune, has long been a feature in the lives of ordinary Hong Kong listeners.
For the last 10 years, many have enjoyed the sound of Cheng taking on pro-Beijing politicians and government officials or lambasting social injustice in his persistent and abrasive style.
Now, two replacement hosts who were also critical of Beijing, Wong Yuk-man and Allen Lee, have also quit. Cheng and Wong received threats while Lee said Beijing—using friends and business contacts as intermediaries—had pressured him to tone down his style.
"I was targeted because I have influence," Cheng, who requested that his interview not be faded under a Mandarin translation for broadcast to mainland China, told RFA. "So some people say there are still radio stations which are still criticizing the government. So why can't I criticize them? Only that would be true press freedom."
"My rights to freedom of expression were taken away from me. With no freedom of expression, there was only one thing I could do—to move into the Legislative Council," he said.
Cheng, who identifies himself politically with the pro-democracy camp in the Legislative Council, was heckled by pro-Beijing supporters, often groups of elderly men, during the election campaign.
In one district of Kowloon, someone shouted the name of Lam Bun, a Commercial Radio broadcaster burned to death in his car for criticizing the Communist-inspired violence of 1967.
"The meaning of bringing up the Lam Bun incident with me is that I could be killed," Cheng told RFA.
Cheng said his political agenda as a legislator would be to support freedom of expression, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. He said he refused to bow to violence. "That way the mobsters and thugs get the upper hand, don't they?"
"Most important of all, I will be bringing the voice of the citizens of Hong Kong to the Legislative Council," he said.


Bitcoin (BTC) is about to complete a yearlong correction which has put a lot of things in perspective. It is now clear that BTC/USD was trading in a descending channel the whole time. Bitcoin (BTC) tested the top of this channel for the first time in October. It kept testing it in November and then finally continued to drop back into the channel after facing a strong rejection. This rejection was significant because it pushed the price below the 21 Week EMA. Currently, the price seems to be at the bottom of this descending channel but it has yet to touch the trend line. So far, this has not happened which is why we believe that a fall below $3,000 is in the offing.
The weekly chart for BTC/USD shows that $2,977 is a very strong support that the price has not tested yet. Testing this support will have important consequences. First of all, Bitcoin (BTC) will get to drop down to the 200 Week EMA. The price settled just above this level last week and disappointed a lot of investors who were expecting a reversal. As for traders, this gap meant more opportunities to trade. It was expected that the price will drop again to fill that gap. Currently, the price has three reasons to drop below $3,000. The first one is a test of the 200 Week EMA. The second one is a test of the historical support at $2,977 and the third one is a test of the bottom of the descending channel. All of these are compelling reasons to believe that the price will fall below $3,000 in the days ahead.
As much as most Bitcoin (BTC) believers would like to be over and done with this correction to see the price rise again, the reality is that the price is going nowhere without convincing investors that the correction is truly over. The best way to do that right now is to test that historical support and bounce strongly off it. The daily as well as the weekly RSI is in oversold territory but shorter time frames point to a strong probability of a fall in the next few days. The 4H chart for BTC/USD shows the price trading in a descending triangle. It is all set for a big fall soon as the price falls below this triangle. RSI for the 4H chart has ample room for a fall.
Bitcoin (BTC) currently faces strong rejection at 21 EMA on the 4H chart. If the price fails to break above this triangle, we could see it start to fall in the next few hours with a sharp decline in as early as 48 hours. This decline was expected since the beginning of the week but it was timed such that it could be prolonged till the end of the week. Over the next few days, towards the end of the week, we are likely to see the price decline sharply towards $3,000. Over the weekend, it is highly probable that the price will attempt to break slightly below $3,000 to test the historical support at $2,977.
