Editor's note: Officials now say there are three confirmed deaths.
An Amtrak train crashed in the American state of Washington Monday. At least six people died.
The train was making its first-ever run along a faster route on existing railroad tracks.
Seventy-eight passengers and five crew members were on the train. The train was traveling at a speed of 128 kilometers per hour when it went off the track and fell down to a busy highway below.
The crash occurred about 64 kilometers south of Seattle. Local police said the falling train struck vehicles on Interstate 5. Several drivers were injured.
Officials said they expect the number of dead to rise.
Chris Karnes was on the train. He said the only part of the train that remained on the tracks was the rear – or back – locomotive. Many train cars could be seen hanging off the overpass.
An official told The Associated Press that the train may have struck something before going off the track. The official was not permitted to discuss the investigation publicly.
The possibility that the crash was caused by something on the tracks concerns officials about the risk of high-speed trains crossing busy streets.
The mayor of a town near the crash site had warned about the danger of such an accident at a public meeting just two weeks ago.
This aerial image from video provided by KOMO-TV, shows the site of an Amtrak train that derailed south of Seattle on Dec. 18, 2017.
U.S. President Donald Trump used the deadly crash to call for more infrastructure spending. He tweeted, "The train accident that just occurred in DuPont, WA shows more than ever why our soon to be submitted infrastructure plan must be approved quickly."
The train was making the inaugural run on the new route designed to speed up service between Tacoma, Washington, and Portland, Oregon. State transportation officials said testing on the track was completed back in January and February, well before the crash on Monday.
How fast are trains traveling?
The Amtrak Acela Express – which connects several eastern cities - is the fastest train in the United States. It can travel at a top speed of 241 kilometers per hour.
European countries including Germany, Italy and Spain have trains that can travel more than 320 kilometers per hour.
The fastest trains in the world are found in Asia. Chinese media reported that the Beijing-to-Shanghai train can reach speeds of up to 350 kilometers per hour. A deadly crash between two bullet trains in 2011 led to China limiting train speeds to 300 kilometers per hour.
The fastest non-operating train in the world is still undergoing testing in Japan. The train, a Japan Railway maglev, has reached a top speed of 603 kilometers per hour.

What the Media Left Out About the Last Democratic Debate
Zachary Wood
Senator Kamala Harris.
Senator Kamala Harris was without peer during the fourth Democratic presidential primary debate. In fact, it's difficult for me to identify Sen. Harris' strongest moments because she optimally accomplished so much with each statement. I think the quality of her performance Tuesday night calls for a point-by-point breakdown. So, I'll try my best.
First, a snapshot of her game: Kamala Harris achieved (and sustainably grounded) position as master of her domain. She scored efficiently. She argued elegantly. She empathized naturally. She outclassed all opponents through a sheer display of self-possession. Her touch and tact, sincerity and sophistication, reflected a clear, robust understanding of the complex situational dynamics at play. Successfully capitalizing on each opportunity, Sen. Harris occupied and punctuated her time cerebrally — and, she protected her time as well. Time and again, the poise and ease of her stage presence exampled presidential command.
What stood out most in Sen. Harris' opening statement was her facility in seamlessly and vividly connecting the dots of Donald Trump's devastation. Moving from the great Maya Angelou's perceptive insight about "listening to somebody when they tell you who they are the first time," and Trump saying that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it to the democratic visions of America's framers, Harris diagnosed the disease (Trump) and offered the right solution (checks and balances) in a context conducive for unity: "Our system of democracy."
Regardless of an individual's background or ideological preferences, most Americans value our self-corrective democratic system of government. Also strong and cleanly executed was the way Sen. Harris noted, at the outset, how her experience as a progressive prosecutor uniquely positions her to read Trump like a children's book: "I know a confession when I see one."
Harris' second statement, once again, showed her to be not just the adult in the room, but a candidate fundamentally committed to fighting for the most vulnerable amongst us. Directly and poignantly, she issued perhaps the most imperative observation in the entire debate: "This is the sixth debate we have had in this presidential cycle and not nearly one word, with all of these discussions about health care, on women's access to reproductive health care, which is under full-on attack in America today."

— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) October 16, 2019
After the applause, Harris made no bones about getting to the heart of the matter. Her passionate, thoughtful expression embodied the frustration of women across America as well as her steadfast determination to resolve this crisis once elected.
I can't say that I'm surprised by this example of moral leadership, but I am very grateful.
I also want to acknowledge Senator Cory Booker for accentuating and building on Senator Harris' remarks by reminding us that "women should not be the only ones taking up this cause and this fight."
Back with more firepower, Harris, in all of her brilliance, took an abstract (relatively dry) question about a wealth tax and turned it into an incredibly powerful account that gripped me in a very personal way. She described how her mother would sit at the kitchen table, late at night, trying to figure out a way to provide for her daughters, and she spoke about fathers doing everything they could to support their families and meet the bills at the end of the month. It just so happens that the challenges Sen. Harris gave voice to encapsulate my own father's experience through much of my life. What moved me most in that moment was the depth and calm of her concern. Her solicitude felt durable and unadulterated — like it could withstand the messiness of political conflict and the harshest reality of any setback that might come with being president.
Her resolve gave me confidence as I marveled at the power of her light to uplift.
It was at this point that I thought to myself, the moderators, just on the basis of her performance thus far, will have to find a way to prioritize her inclusion.
Despite their failure, her performance only elevated. At her next opportunity, Sen. Harris exemplified peak preparedness, using feminine pronouns to capsulize a commander-in-chief's responsibility to "concern herself with the security of our nation and homeland" before following through with a lucid, compact, and highly detailed answer that named names, delineated the most relevant ramifications, and specified her intention to "stop this madness," under a Harris administration.
Following that, Harris attained perfection, offering an impeccable response to Anderson Cooper's gun control question about "enforcing a mandatory buyback." She exhibited complete control in her ability to deliver a thorough, colorful, and well-paced answer without error. This response from Senator Harris belongs on any shortlist of captivating, exemplary presidential debate moments.
With patient equipoise, Harris held her powder as a number of candidates bent over backwards to throw their hardest blows at Senator Elizabeth Warren. Once their energy was spent, Harris rose to the occasion with characteristic confidence and self-direction. "No, I don't agree with that at all." Harris proceeded to skillfully press Sen. Warren to agree that Trump's twitter account should be suspended. Upon being interrupted, Senator Harris firmly (and appropriately) impressed her dominance: "I'm not finished."
With little recourse, Warren fumbled, scurried to evade the question, and barely escaped entrapment by way of moderator interference.
In Harris' penultimate declaration, she held forth assertively and decisively on reproductive rights, beginning, "My plan is – as follows…," and ending, "It is her body. It is her right. It is her decision." Put simply, Harris seized this opportunity to definitively declare her commitment to ensuring that all women have the right to determine what they do with their bodies, and explain precisely how she would enact such justice.
To round out the night, Sen. Harris separated herself from the pack emphatically once more by answering the final question about friendships with political adversaries swiftly and without mishap. While every other candidate meandered and several appeared to be searching for an answer as they spoke, Harris replied immediately: Probably Rand Paul. What is more, she gracefully culminated her closing remarks with personal power and inspiration by telling her own story, and explaining that if Donald Trump had his way, her story would not be possible.
Unfazed by bias and seemingly unbothered by every obstacle, Kamala Harris accoladed a feat of prowess for the history books. While I am not the least bit surprised, I am both proud and supremely delighted.

The Impact of Recent Court Decisions on Abortion Access
Dear SCOTUS, Abortion Access Now!
A recent study by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers provides evidence that CD4+ T lymphocytes — immune system cells also known as helper T cells — produced by people who received either of the two available messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines for COVID-19 persist six months after vaccination at only slightly reduced levels from two weeks after vaccination and are at significantly higher levels than for those who are unvaccinated.
The researchers also found that the T cells they studied recognize and help protect against the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the delta variant — currently the predominant strain of SARS-CoV-2 in the United States — causes more infections and spreads faster than earlier forms of the virus.
The study findings were first reported online Oct. 25, 2021, in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.
"Previous research has suggested that humoral immune response — where the immune system circulates virus-neutralizing antibodies — can drop off at six months after vaccination, whereas our study indicates that cellular immunity — where the immune system directly attacks infected cells — remains strong," says study senior author Joel Blankson, M.D., Ph.D., professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "The persistence of these vaccine-elicited T cells, along with the fact that they're active against the delta variant, has important implications for guiding COVID vaccine development and determining the need for COVID boosters in the future."
To reach these findings, Blankson and his colleagues obtained blood from 15 study participants (10 men and five women) at three times: prior to vaccination, between seven and14 days after their second Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccine dose, and six months after vaccination. The median age of the participants was 41 and none had evidence of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection.
CD4+ T lymphocytes get their nickname of helper T cells because they assist another type of immune system cell, the B lymphocyte (B cell), to respond to surface proteins — antigens — on viruses such as SARS-CoV-2. Activated by the CD4+ T cells, immature B cells become either plasma cells that produce antibodies to mark infected cells for disposal from the body or memory cells that "remember" the antigen's biochemical structure for a faster response to future infections. Therefore, a CD4+ T cell response can serve as a measure of how well the immune system responds to a vaccine and yields humoral immunity.
In their study, Blankson and colleagues found that the number of helper T cells recognizing SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins was extremely low prior to vaccination — with a median of 2.7 spot-forming units (SFUs, the level of which is a measure of T cell frequency) per million peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs, identified as any blood cell with a round nucleus, including lymphocytes). Between 7 and 14 days after vaccination, the T cell frequency rose to a median of 237 SFUs per million PBMCs. At six months after vaccination, the level dropped slightly to a median of 122 SFUs per million PBMCs — a T cell frequency still significantly higher than before vaccination.
The researchers also looked six months after vaccination at the ability of CD4+ T cells to recognize spike proteins atop the SARS-CoV-2 delta variant. They discovered the number of T cells recognizing the delta variant spike protein was not significantly different from that of T cells attuned to the original virus strain's protein.
Although the study was limited because of the small number of participants, Blankson feels it pinpoints areas that merit further research.
"The robust expansion of T cells in response to stimulation with spike proteins is certainly indicated, supporting the need for more study to show booster shots do successfully increase the frequency of SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells circulating in the blood," says Blankson. "The added bonus is finding that this response also is likely strong for the delta variant."
Along with Blankson, the members of the study team from Johns Hopkins Medicine are study lead author Bezawit Woldemeskel and Caroline Garliss.
This study was supported by the Johns Hopkins COVID-19 Vaccine-related Research Fund.

Although extreme poverty in the United States is low by global standards, the U.S. has the worst index of health and social problems as a function of income inequality. In a newly published article, Bettina Beech, clinical professor of population health in the Department of Health Systems and Population Health Sciences at the University of Houston College of Medicine and chief population health officer at UH, examines poverty and racism as factors influencing health.
"A common narrative for the relatively high prevalence of poverty among marginalized minority communities is predicated on racist notions of racial inferiority and frequent denial of the structural forms of racism and classism that have contributed to public health crises in the United States and across the globe," Beech reports in Frontiers in Public Health. "Racism contributes to and perpetuates the economic and financial inequality that diminishes prospects for population health improvement among marginalized racial and ethnic groups. The U.S. has one of the highest rates of poverty in the developed world, but despite its collective wealth, the burden falls disproportionately on communities of color." The goal of population health is to achieve health equity, so that every person can reach their full potential.
Though overall wealth has risen in recent years, growth in economic and financial resources has not been equally distributed. Black families in the U.S. have about one-twentieth the wealth of their white peers on average. For every dollar of wealth in white families, the corresponding wealth in Black households is five cents.
"Wealth inequality is not a function of work ethic or work hour difference between groups. Rather, the widening gap between the affluent and the poor can be linked to unjust policies and practices that favor the wealthy," said Beech. "The impact of this form of inequality on health has come into sharp focus during the COVID-19 pandemic as the economically disadvantaged were more likely to get infected with SARS CoV-2 and die."
A Very Old Problem
In the mid-1800's, Dr. James McCune Smith wrote one of the earliest descriptions of racism as the cause of health inequities and ultimately health disparities in America. He explained the health of a person "was not primarily a consequence of their innate constitution, but instead reflected their intrinsic membership in groups created by a race structured society."
Over 100 years later, the Heckler Report, the first government-sanctioned assessment of racial health disparities, was published. It noted mortality inequity was linked to six leading causes of preventable excess deaths for the Black compared to the white population (cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, infant mortality, chemical dependency and homicide/unintentional injury).
It and other reports led to a more robust focus on population health over the last few decades that has included a renewed interest in the impact of racism and social factors, such as poverty, on clinical outcomes.
The Myth of Meritocracy
Beech contends that structural racism harms marginalized populations at the expense of affording greater resources, opportunities and other privileges to the dominant white society.
"Public discourse has been largely shaped by a narrative of meritocracy which is laced with ideals of opportunity without any consideration of the realities of racism and race-based inequities in structures and systems that have locked individuals, families and communities into poverty-stricken lives for generations," she said. "Coupled with a lack of a national health program this condemns oppressed populations such as Black and Hispanic Americans, American Indians, and disproportionately non-English speaking immigrants and refugees to remain in poverty and suffer from suboptimal health."
Keys to Improvement
The World Health Organization identified three keys to improving health at a global level that each reinforces the impact of socioeconomic factors: (1) improve the conditions of daily life; (2) tackle the inequitable distribution of power, money and resources; and (3) develop a workforce trained in and public awareness of the social determinants of health.
The report's findings highlight the need to implement health policies to increase access to care for lower-income individuals and highlight the need to ensure such policies and associated programs are reaching those in need.
"Health care providers can directly address many of the factors crucial for closing the health disparities gap by recognizing and trying to mitigate the race-based implicit biases many physicians carry, as well as leveraging their privilege to address the elements of institutionalized racism entrenched within the fabric of our society, starting with social injustice and human indifference," said Beech.
As we give thanks at the holidays, it's easy to overlook someone important: your past self.
While it's well documented that gratitude toward others can improve wellbeing, two University of Florida scientists find that gratitude toward your past self also has benefits.
Does thanking yourself seem a bit…selfish? The researchers, UF psychology professor Matt Baldwin, Ph.D., and undergraduate student Samantha Zaw, think not.
"Despite the fact that past gratitude is self-focused, it reminds people that they're part of a bigger story and that they have the power to grow," Baldwin said. "It's possible this promotes a pay-it-forward type of mentality."
Gratitude is what psychologists call a self-transcendent emotion, one that lifts us out of the everyday and expands our perspective, which can help us get along with each other better. In a recent experiment, Baldwin and Zaw asked participants to write brief gratitude letters. The first group thanked someone else, the second thanked themselves, while a third, the control condition, wrote about a positive experience they'd had. Zaw and Baldwin then surveyed the participants about their self-perception after writing the letter. Although the results are not yet published, early analysis shows that the exercise gave the other- and self-focused gratitude groups a sense of redemption and helped them feel they were morally good people. However, the group that wrote to themselves scored higher on both measures.
The past-self group also saw a benefit the others didn't: an increase in the self-awareness measures of clarity, authenticity and connectedness.
"Unlike gratitude toward others, being appreciative of ourselves carries an added benefit of truly understanding who we are and feeling connected to ourselves," said Zaw, a McNair Scholar who has been working with Baldwin since her freshman year as part of UF's Emerging Scholars Program.
Zaw and Baldwin's research — the first known data gathered on past-self gratitude — was inspired by a Reese's cup. When Baldwin's co-worker, boredom researcher Erin Westgate, returned to the office after pandemic lockdown, she was delighted to discover a peanut butter cup she had squirreled away in her desk.
"She texted me like, 'Oh my gosh, my past self left my future self a Reese's,'" Baldwin recalled. "I was like, 'Wait a second. You're expressing gratitude towards something your past self had done. We have to study this.'"
As Zaw and Baldwin dug into previous studies, they found plenty on gratitude toward others and a few on self-compassion, but nothing on past-self gratitude. They designed the letter-writing experiment to test its effects, presenting their findings at the Society of Southeastern Social Psychologists in October and at the upcoming meeting of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology in February.
If you're curious about the benefits of self-gratitude, Zaw offered a way to try the experiment at home, maybe as a new Thanksgiving tradition. Take a few minutes to write a thank you message to someone else, and another to yourself for something you did in the past. Sharing what you wrote could foster connections between loved ones, she said, but the exercise can also pay dividends if you try it on your own.
"At Thanksgiving and Christmas, we focus on other people, but self-care is really needed too, especially if we want to feel more clear about ourselves," she said. "Maybe it can even lead to a better vision for ourselves for the next year."

            forms.forEach(form =>{

                ////////////////////////////////////////////
                // MISSING PART FOR CALCULATING RESULT,

        saveButton.set('v.disabled',false);
    },

I need to calculate a "Result" of the two fields "Revenue" and "Margin" before save, but I don't manage to access the field values.
I have tried component.find("editForm").getElement().childNodes; / component.find("editForm").getElement() which doesn't work due to the invalid DOM access and form["vp_Result__c"]which is undefined.
Any idea how two identify the correct set of "revenue", "margin" and "result" fields within the same record form?
Thanks for any input.
Best, Raphael

A: When you iterate make sure the aura:id is a unique value. Then you can get the value. Follow a convention when generating the ID as part of the iteration and then if you need to loop through all the form fields you can catch the fields that follow the pattern.
i.e. aura:id = "balance1", aura:id="balance2" etc....
Find by aura:id1

And the winner of the 6 pack of Instant Peel is Katie Murray. She checked out my review on this amazing product and left a comment on Facebook saying "Sounds like a great product – and I love that it's natural!! I have suuuuuper dry skin, and even get lovely flakey-ness at times, especially on my forehead!! Help!! I love getting facials, but have been trying really hard to budget lately – we're saving to move!!
This product really is amazing & its going to save us ladies some money (more to spend on clothes & shoes)!
I was lucky enough to win the Instant Peel a little while ago…. Yay!! I just got back form vacation and finally had a chance to use it. I followed the instructions and climbed in the shower – it is to be used in steamed/damp skin only, never dry! The texture was not what I was expecting, more runny/milky, which caused me to spill a bit, so be careful! I started with the first part of my face, and was amazing to feel the dead skin coming off as I lightly rubbed, as promised! It got plenty of dead skin off (even though I wash and exfoliate regularly!!), and the only discomfort was a very light tingly feeling.
My skin was a little bit blotchy when I was done, but that faded very quickly (my skin is very dry, and a bit sensitive). After applying moisturizer my skin was glowing and soft, and I swear the lines that are starting to show themselves on my forehead are less visible now!! I highly recommend this product – it shipped quickly and works wonders!! Very grateful I won it!

This book and accompanying poem by Daryl Farmer references Mao Zedong's 1958 campaign to eliminate China's population of sparrows because they ate the rice on which the people depended for sustenance. The sparrows were poisoned and shot, their nests and eggs destroyed, nearly to extinction. Neglected was the fact that sparrows kept the locust population in check, and without sparrows the locusts drastically decreased the rice harvest, thereby causing thousands of Chinese to die of starvation.
The construction of the book's panels and their images echo the multi-faceted historical event described poetically by Daryl Farmer. A vintage image of Chinese people shooting sparrows opens the sequence, with images of dead birds, swarms of locusts, Mao himself, and ultimately gruesome portraits of emaciated Chinese people to follow. Images, mounted on wings attached to the panels and within smaller book structures, all fold up and are stored within the larger book construction.

Die Klosterneuburger Mostwaage (KMW) ist eine Senkspindel zum Messen des Zuckergehalts von Traubenmost in Gewichtsprozent (g/100 g). Ihre Skala zeigt Klosterneuburger Zuckergrade (°KMW) an.

Ein Grad Klosterneuburger Mostwaage (1 °KMW) entspricht  des Massengehaltes einer wässrigen Saccharoselösung von 20 %. Da der mutmaßliche Gehalt an zuckerfreiem Extrakt von vornherein abgezogen ist, stimmen die angezeigten Werte nur bei einem Zuckergehalt von etwa 20 % und einem Gehalt an zuckerfreiem Extrakt von 3 %. Bei höherem Zuckergehalt zeigt die Waage zu niedrige, bei geringerem zu hohe Werte an.

Die Klosterneuburger Mostwaage wurde vom ersten Direktor des Önologisch-Pomologischen Institutes in Klosterneuburg (Höhere Bundeslehranstalt und Bundesamt für Wein- und Obstbau), Freiherrn August Wilhelm von Babo, 1861 im österreichischen Weinbau eingeführt und später vom italienischen Weinbau als Babo-Grade übernommen.

Internationaler Gebrauch
Für das Mostgewicht, d. h. den Zuckergehalt des Saftes, werden international unterschiedliche Einheiten verwendet. Die Klosterneuburger Zuckergrade werden vor allem in Österreich, Italien, Ungarn, der Slowakei sowie den Staaten des ehemaligen Jugoslawien verwendet, sprich dem Einflussbereich des ehemaligen Österreich-Ungarn.

In Deutschland, der Schweiz und Luxemburg wird das Grad Oechsle (°Oe) verwendet. Klosterneuburger Zuckergrade können mit folgender Formel exakt in Grad Oechsle umgerechnet werden:

In Frankreich, Portugal und Spanien hingegen ist Grad Baumé (°Bé) in Verwendung. Grad Baumé stehen in folgendem Verhältnis zu °KMW:

Umrechnung in Volumenprozent Alkohol
Zucker wird beim Gärprozess zu annähernd gleichen Gewichtsteilen in Alkohol und Kohlendioxid umgewandelt. Deshalb kann, sofern alle vergärbaren Mostanteile vergoren werden, aus dem ursprünglichen Zuckeranteil in Grad KMW der Alkoholgehalt in Vol.-% folgendermaßen berechnet werden (Formel 1, einfache Annäherung):

Eine bessere Annäherung wird durch folgende Formel 2 erreicht, welche von der Landesregierung Niederösterreich offiziell verwendet wird:

U.S. Air Force Buying at Least 145 Stealthy B-21 Bombers
U.S Air Force Requests Billions for B-21 Stealth Bombers
(Washington, D.C.) The Air Force is plussing up its budget for its new B-21 stealth bomber as the service moves into production mode and builds the first several aircraft, an initial step toward its goal of acquiring at least 145 B-21s.
The Air Force had for many years indicated that it planned to buy about 100 B-21s. However following ongoing developmental success with the program, the promise of its new technologies and a fast-deteriorating existing Air Force bomber fleet, service leaders have not only said they could likely "pulse" production to go up higher than 100 but potentially go substantially higher.
Some service leaders, lawmakers and veterans have even been calling for as many as 200 new B-21s, however the service's current plan remains 145. The jump to 145, echoed recently by senior service leaders, represents heightened confidence in the program which is now amid preparations for its first flight.
The Air Force commitment to the B-21 is evidenced by its 2022 budget request, which asks for $2.8 billion for the new bombers, a $30 million jump over last year.
B-21 Raider concept in a hangar at Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo.
Deliberations about continued acceleration of B-21 production, as the first two airframes prepare to take to the sky following additional testing and preparation, reflect several interesting variables. The first and most pressing variable is clear and self-evident, as there is a massive Air Force need for new platforms. While there is great promise in the near term success of upgrades to legacy aircraft such as the B-52, B-2 and even B-1, it is no secret that the fleet is aging. New weapons, engines, avionics and communications technologies for the B-52 are expected to ensure the platform is highly capable and relevant for decades, yet it is a 1960s era-airframe, however viable the airframes may be.
Much like the B-52, upgrades to the B-2 are making it an almost entirely new stealth bomber capable of performing against a new generation of threats. New Defensive Management System sensors will enable the B-2 to find and therefore avoid enemy air defenses, new computer processing is 1,000-fold faster and upgraded weapons and fire control will vastly improve the aircraft's lethality. However, the B-2 is still three decades old and, much to the dismay of many in subsequent years, the program was massively truncated years ago and there are very few actual B-2s.
The possibility of increasing the Air Force's B-21 fleet size not only relates to this well known reality that the force desperately needs new platforms for the future, but also pertains in an extremely significant way to technological progress and the existing threat environment. Much of the breakthrough technology potentially integrated into the B-21 is likely not available for security reasons, there is broad discussion surrounding the extent to which it will likely introduce an entirely new generation of stealth capability as well as paradigm-changing computing, sensing, targeting and AI-enabled data organization. These things could likely prove crucial given the rapid technical advances now being made by enemies with systems such as air defenses. Finally, once a production line is up and running effectively, there can be cost and maintenance advantages to buying more.

As well as revisiting old favourites, on my quick trip through the South Island I've tried to tick off a few sites on my must-do-still list. Abel Tasman and Dunedin were both on this list, as was Doubtful Sound, and a fortnight ago I finally visited this beautiful and remote part of Fiordland.
We piled camping gear into Luke and Lisa's beast of a 4x4 and drove out to Te Anau for a night under canvas...or under a $10 tent from the Salvation Army store as it turned out! We eventually settled on a grassy clearing after testing the off-road capabilities of the beast on a twilight drive up a muddy, overgrown track. I spent the night wearing all the clothes I own, having weird and scary dreams, and trying not to touch the sides of the tent. Luckily the tent withstood the drizzle and we awoke bleary-eyed to rainbows. After brewing a cuppa next to Lake Manapouri we headed to Pearl Harbour to join our tour to Doubtful Sound.
coach for the winding drive across the mountains. The previous night's rain had fuelled the waterfalls and the ferns and mosses glistened. At the top of the pass we got our first view of Doubtful Sound's still, dark waters and steep wooded mountains laid out below us. At the end of the road our ship awaited us, a big sailing vessel with several decks and, by our standards, luxurious cabins. For the first time in my entire life we had all been upgraded from the 4-berth backpacker cabin to swanky ensuite twin rooms with big windows rather than portholes. Being skanky backpackers though, we had packed a bag full of snacks and wine, forgetting that in the posh world of all-inclusive cruises byo is frowned upon and there was more than enough food for us to gorge on!
in hats, scarves, gloves and jackets we braved the elements to watch the towering mountains glide past us, eyes peeled for glimpses of Blue Penguins and Bottlenose Dolphins. We sailed out to the mouth of the fiord and were greeted with a face full of icy water as the boat plunged into the ocean swell - the captain had warned us of slightly splashy conditions, not a tsunami!
cool again - the perfect excuse to stop being energetic and make use of the steaming bowls of complimentary soup and tea!
To think we were worried at one stage that there wouldn't be enough food provided...if only! The buffet was a backpackers dream: piles of salads, roasted veges, whole lambs and cows being carved up, and possibly the most meltingly delicious salmon I have ever tasted. After two piled up plates each our bellies were bulging, and then they started bringing out the sweet treats! Unable to resist real Kiwi Pavlova or cheese we continued to eat until we all felt ill and needed to lie down. On the way back to our cabins I looked over board to see the water sparkling with phosphorescence like a reflection of the night sky.
buffet in a bit of a daze, unable to pacify the two conflicting emotions of being full to our tonsils still, but not wishing to let good (free) food go to waste! In the morning the ship cruised back up Doubtful Sound and down another side channel, Hall Arm. In the early light the tops of the mountains shined out starkly against the darkness in the narrow inlet. The waters were so still they formed a perfect mirror image of the trees and rock face rising out of them. The crew cut the engines and generators for 'The Sound of Silence' and suddenly the only noises were the birds chirruping in the forest and camera shutters clicking in response.
can tramp into dense rainforest packed with ferns and intersected by fast flowing streams. At The Chasm are awesome rock formations, huge bowls in the river bed carved from water and pebbles. Then you drive through the Homer Tunnel, an impressive testament to the incredible hard work of men during the last century, before popping out on the shores of Milford Sound. The cruise terminal may be an air-conditioned hangar, but just around the corner all you can see before you is the towering Mitre Peak rising darkly out of the sparkling waters of the fiord. Jeff went off to do another cruise while the rest of us cracked open a cider and admired this magnificent view, until the sandflies decided we had had too much time in paradise and moved us on.
The pot of gold is in Lake Manapouri!

Mintel: Consumers hold companies most responsible for sustainability
New Mintel Sustainability Barometer offers in-depth look into how consumers view environmental issues
KEYWORDS Mintel / sustainability
Consumers hold companies most responsible for improved environmental and social standards, according to research from the newly-released Mintel Sustainability Barometer.
Specifically, consumers say companies are the most responsible for a host of issues. Almost half (48 percent) of global consumers believe companies are responsible for increasing the amount of packaging that is recycled; while only a quarter (25 percent) believe responsibility lies with consumers, and just a fifth (20 percent) with governments.
Meanwhile, two in five (41 percent) global consumers believe that companies are responsible for reducing emissions from air transport, compared to 36 percent who believe it's up to governments, and just 12 percent who think it is the responsibility of consumers.
"One of the major challenges for companies and brands is how to effectively close this understanding gap to better position their products and services as part of the sustainability solution," said Richard Cope, senior trends consultant, Mintel Consulting. "This will require more education around uncomfortable realities if more consumers are to engage with issues and environmentally beneficial products. More companies need to take the lead in asserting their positive credentials, but also in explaining what they view as the real societal problems — as well as their main business challenges. Messaging and campaigns will be most impactful if brands coordinate with government efforts or embrace the zeitgeist for environmental awakening documentaries like 'Seaspiracy' and 'Kiss the Ground.'"
Top types of companies held responsible:
The Top 9 types of companies ranked "most responsible" for protecting the environment by consumers include:
Passenger transport companies (44 percent)
Household product manufacturers (e.g. cleaning products, toilet paper) (39 percent)
Packaged meat, poultry and/or fish manufacturers (35 percent)
Packaged drink manufacturers (28 percent)
Other packed food/drink manufacturers (25 percent)
Retailers (e.g. supermarkets, online retailers) (23 percent)
Skincare and haircare product manufacturers (18 percent)
Make-up product manufacturers (17 percent)
Dining Venues (e.g. restaurants, coffee shops) (15 percent)
"Companies — especially those in certain sectors such as transport and household — are being held accountable for their actions. Failure to react to this reality will ultimately hit their bottom lines," the report says.
Mintel's data also showed that, "consumers won't compromise on quality or brand familiarity in the name of sustainability. A product's positioning should never discount the 'pleasure principle.'
"Looking at the example of coffee, we should never forget that a sustainable coffee is first and foremost a coffee. It must deliver pleasure, taste and quality before anything else. Likewise, sustainability is important when it comes to packaging, but the practical, fundamental elements are just as crucial. The cardinal rule of packaging should be that it protects the product and secures its shelf life so that the energy and other resources that went into its production aren't wasted."
The most popular behaviors are those that are simple and frugal, in other words, where consumers can have a positive impact by following straightforward processes or by cutting back on spending, Mintel says.
Specifically, recycling (curbside) is the most commonplace sustainable behavior, closely followed by returning packaging to stores.
There is a stark cultural contrast between Asia-Pacific and European markets in rates of 'returning' versus 'recycling' packaging, but the relationship with the retailer is key.
Accepting returned packaging is the clearest and most popular example of companies partnering with consumers on an issue they feel concerned about and fulfilling consumers' desire to make a difference with their behavior, according to Mintel's data.
Top environmental concerns:
Mintel also shared consumers' top ranked environmental concerns.
Climate change/global warming (53 percent).
Air quality (e.g. exhaust fumes, industrial emission) (52 percent).
Plastic pollution (e.g. ocean plastic) 52 percent.
Deforestation (40 percent).
Waste pollution (e.g. landfills) (40 percent).
Water shortages (40 percent).
Chemicals entering the environment (e.g. pesticides) (38 percent).

"When consumers are asked to select up to three environmental concerns, it's unsurprising that the concerns that are the most tangible (climate change), threatening to one's health (air quality) and visible (plastic pollution) are out in front by some distance. Consumers aren't environmental scientists, and, with their current levels of understanding, these factors will always precede considerations around GHG emissions when it comes to ranking their concerns," the report said.

The Competition Commission has ruled that a channel distribution agreement between the SABC and MultiChoice signed in 2013 constitutes a notifiable merger.
It wants the public broadcaster and Africa's largest pay-TV operator to register the transaction as a merger, failing which they will be in violation of competition laws. The five-year agreement worth R500m, gave MultiChoice the right to broadcast SABC's 24-hour news channel and an entertainment channel, SABC Encore.
In 2015 it emerged that as part of the deal the SABC undertook to back MultiChoice's position on digital migration, which was that set-top boxes to convert the digital signal to analogue after migration would not be encrypted. Then SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoneng got an R11m "bonus" for negotiating the contract.
The ruling by the commission has taken both MultiChoice and the SABC by surprise as it contradicted two previous rulings by the Competition Tribunal and the Competition Appeals Court that the agreement was not a merger. MultiChoice has indicated it will appeal.
The unexpected turn of events comes after a ruling by the Constitutional Court in October in a case brought by Caxton and lobby group Save our SABC (SOS) to appeal against the Competitions Appeal Court decision. Caxton and SOS argued that the agreement was a notifiable merger and that MultiChoice and the SABC had contravened the Competition Act by not notifying the commission.
In 2016 the Competition Appeals Court gave the go-ahead for a limited investigation by the commission. The commission had sought to interview executives at both the SABC and MultiChoice who entered into the agreement but this had not been allowed. Caxton and SOS appealed against the decision at the Constitutional Court, with the commission as an interested party. The court ruled in October that the scope of the investigation could not be restricted, allowing the commission to investigate further and interview executives who signed the agreement.
On Friday the commission concluded that while the entertainment channel agreement did not constitute a merger, MultiChoice's role in influencing the SABC's policy on the encryption of set-top boxes made this a notifiable merger between the public broadcaster and the Naspers-owned operator.
Policy uncertainty has frustrated efforts at digital migration, leaving SA years behind other countries in the region. The upshot has been a delay in the release of high-value spectrum required for broadband services that is still occupied by broadcasters. The encryption policy debate has been at the centre of the controversy with successive ANC ministers of communication and the ANC wrangling over policy.
Asked why they had gone against previous rulings by the tribunal and the Competition Appeals Court, commission spokesperson Sipho Ngwema said their decision was based on new facts, which outlined the role MultiChoice played in influencing the SABC's decision on the encryption of set top boxes.
"The decisions of both the Tribunal and CAC [Competition Appeals Court] were based on the information before them. Subsequently, the Constitutional Court ruled that the commission could and should conduct an investigation into the transaction. This duly happened and new facts have emerged that MultiChoice did influence the SABC," Ngwema said.
MultiChoice group executive for corporate affairs Joe Heshu said they disagreed with the commission's recommendation.
"We've noted the recommendation of the Competition Commission. Our view remains that the 2013 agreement between MultiChoice and the SABC was not a merger but a standard channel supply agreement."We have not been presented with the new facts to which the commission refers nor the opportunity to refute them. We will make further representations in the process to be conducted before the Competition Tribunal," Heshu said.
SABC spokesperson Neo Momodu said in a statement that they had taken note of the commission's ruling but they also did not agree that the agreement with MultiChoice constituted a merger.


"Thank you so much for a great job at AABB. I enjoy working with you so much. We make a great team. Best wishes for a successful trip to Rome and Brazil. Have a wonderful vacation. I look forward to working with you again soon."

Tiler Peck – Destined to be a NYCB Ballerina
Posted in Dance	by tilly062
Tiler Peck's story is like a movie. She is from Bakersfield, California and got her start dancing when she was young at her mother's dance studio. Jazz technique was her favorite, but her mother encourage her to have a strong ballet base. At seven she began to take private classes with Bolshoi ballerina Alla Khaniashvili. Soon after, she began ballet classes in Santa Monica at Westside School of Ballet from former New York City Ballet (NYCB) principal Yvonne Mounsey and with other NYCB alum Colleen and Patricia Neary. She continued to do other performing arts activities such as acting and singing as a child, and with the help of her agent, Victoria Morris, Peck was also able to advance her career. Some of these career pushing activities included movies (I.e. Donny Darko, A Time for Dancing, and Geppetto), ballet performances such as Clara (en Pointe) in the the Radio City Spectacular at Universal Studios at ten, and Broadway in NYC at 11 in the revival of The Music Man. At thirteen her mentors, and NYCB alumni encouraged her to apply to the School of American Ballet. She was accepted and began her studies in NYC for two summers before moving to New York to study Ballet full-time. At New York City Ballet, one of the most prestigious ballet companies in the world, she moved up the ranks quickly. In 2004 she joined as an apprentice. In 2005 as apart of the corp. In 2006 she was promoted to soloist. Finally, in 2009 she was moved up to a principal where continues to be today. (All date and background information found through Dance Magazine's "The Magnetic Tiler Peck" by Astrida Woods)
Her artistry in her dancing is breathe taking. Peck loses herself on stage in a work and has developed a musicality that is revered. She makes every port de bra, every pirouette, and each arabesque look natural and unhurried. Her presence within pieces such as Christopher Wheeldon's Carousal or the Romantic duet in Jerome Robbin's Fancy Free is storytelling that can make any ballet hater want to go see another. Peck's story isn't all sunshine and roses. Just like any artist she has had successes as well as set backs. In 2007, at eighteen, she broke her back and was out for six months. That kind of injury, and that length of time being out can be career ending. The loss of technique, flexibility, and the competition of up and coming ballerinas can put many injured dancers at a crossroad where they need to retire. Peck persevered, healed, and became more flexible, a stronger dancer, and developed a thought process of potential plans after dancing.
In the performing arts world there has been exploration among artists who continue to push boundaries as not only an artist, but continue to develop new ways to increase revenue streams and become more of a public face. In music you see artists crossing genres like Taylor Swift going from Country to Pop or even switching performing art styles like Kiesza going from being a professional dancer to a singer. In dance, it's becoming more prevalent for professional ballet dancers to do other activities outside of their company contract. In Peck's case she recently had the lead role in a new musical performed at the Kennedy Center called Little Dancer as well as did a six week run on Broadway with On The Town. Peck isn't the only one in the ballet world doing cross over work. Other artists such as Robert Fairchild (led of Wheeldon's Broadway Musical An American in Paris) and Megan Fairchild (On The Town). It doesn't stop there either. Just like musical acts, they are starting to cash in on branding, like Peck with Body Wrappers Apparel, Misty Copland with under armor, and Lauren Froderman with Gatorade. These crossovers are exciting because Ballet and dance in general is becoming more popular in society and not just looked as an elite art form.
If you look at Peck story it seemed that she was destined to be at NYCB. Her story also gives you insight on how a successful Ballerina gets to the top and understanding that sacrifice as a child is where it starts. Peck didn't have a normal life. She pushed boundaries by being involved in all walks of the performing arts, left home at a young age, and had developed an understanding that she is not going to be a ballerina forever. For now, I look forward to continuing to see her breath taking performances around the world, as well as being a role model for mini ballerinas to look to for strength, guidance, and an understanding of the dance world.
