I Finally Subscribed To Apple TV Plus, And It's Already Been Worth It
Paul Tassi
News and opinion about video games, television, movies and the internet.
Feb 1, 2021, 10:04am EST |
I have been resisting the urge to subscribe to Apple TV Plus for a long while now, as well, it's yet another subscription and I am already drowning in them between Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, HBO Max and now Disney Plus so I can watch a single Marvel or Star Wars show once a week.
But at long last, I finally had too many Apple Plus shows recommended to me and I was "out" of shows to watch on those other services (at least in terms of big new releases) so I figured I would give it a try.
At only $5 for a the month (and I may still be on the free trial portion), I have to say that I think the service has already been worth it, and after some initial launch struggles, I can see how it's coming into its own. Here are the five shows I've consumed already in just under two weeks, ranked by how good I think they've been:
1. Ted Lasso
I mean, what else did you think was going to be number one? Far and away I had this show recommended to me over everything else, and it's no wonder why this is quickly becoming the flagship offering of the service. Jason Sudeikis is absolutely fantastic as Ted, as his is supporting cast, as he plays one the most wholesome characters to grace TV, which I did not expecting walking into this (I hadn't even seen a trailer for it). It's funny, emotional and obviously going to be a staple of the service for at least a few more years with season 2 already greenlit.
As John Tavares Hits 1,000 Games, His Toronto Maple Leafs Have Unfinished Business
2. Servant
Many people missed the phase where M. Night Shyamalan started to be involved in good horror projects again, and Servant is no exception. Season one of this show was one of the more deeply unsettling things I've witnessed across all the horror series on all the streaming services I own, and while I think season 2 is a bit less scary, I remain enraptured all the same. Some stellar performances here and a great use of minimal gore, high tension horror.
3. Defending Jacob
I'm a sucker for murder mystery crime shows, usually of the British variety, and yet this is an American one that rivals any of them. A fantastic, unexpected performance from Chris Evans here, and the tale is one of the more twisted I can remember seeing with a finale that is going to stay with me for a while. One of the best shows in this genre in quite some time.
4. The Morning Show
I was skeptical of The Morning Show, given that it seemed like the idea was simply to throw a bunch of A-listers at the screen and see what stuck, but this was the show I watched with my wife and we both enjoyed it immensely. In a time in their careers when all these actors could be coasting, Jen Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Steve Carell and Billy Crudup are really going at 110% here, and it's the best work I've seen from any of them in years.
5. Mythic Quest
Mythic Quest I am a little more ambivalent about. It's supposed to be right up my alley as a program about a fictional video game developer trying to make and maintain a WoW-like MMO. I found the humor pretty grating at first, but I warmed up to it over time, and it does boast two stellar standalone episodes, its fifth one, about the development of a separate franchise over the decades, and its finale, filmed in quarantine lockdown in an incredibly creative fashion.
Those are the four I've done so far, and I know I have more to sample from See to Dickinson to For All Mankind. But what Apple has done at this point is convince me that its future shows should have promise too, considering I've already found four great ones and one pretty good one in the first five entries I tried. Not many services have a batting average like that.
If you have the free trial that comes with new Apple devices, give it a shot. If you have $5, also give it a shot. I'm keeping my sub until Servant season 2 ends at least, but honestly, I may stick with it for the long term now.

Over 9000 delegates from over 200 countries are expected to descend on the Durban International Convention Centre for the 26th annual Tourism Indaba which takes place from 10th-12th May. Renowned as "Africa's Top Travel Show", Indaba showcases tourism products from across the African continent and has built its reputation as one of the top three travel events in the world.
South African Tourism have made some key changes to the event's usual format to ensure it remains relevant, highly competitive and meets the needs of its exhibitors, buyers and delegates alike. Innovations at Indaba 2014 include a Premium Lounge offering a number of professionally managed office areas, equipped with modern furnishings and uncapped high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity, where serious exhibitors can conduct business with the international buyers.
This year, the show will also offer a technology pavilion (TechZone) which showcases the latest developments and technology offerings available in the global tourism industry. In addition to these changes, new delegate matchmaking software is being introduced to help buyers and exhibitors maximise their networking opportunities and meet the most appropriate business contacts over the three-day event.
This is the first year that a ministerial level policy dialogue will be held with other African countries. The Inaugural Ministerial session will be hosted by Minister of Tourism, Marthinus van Schalkwyk, and will provide a platform for fellow African Tourism Ministers to discuss the current state of Tourism on the continent. The session will include a keynote address delivered by the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, followed by a panel discussion on key tourism issues.
With four designated catering outlets across the Durban ICC and Durban Exhibition Centre, the complex's culinary team is geared up to ensure that all visitors and exhibitors are kept refreshed and revitalised during the event. Apart from the catering outlets, the culinary team will also provide pre-ordered catering for over 100 exhibitor stands and 31 side events with numbers varying from 50 to 300 delegates per event.
Designated Durban ICC staff teams have been allocated responsibility for various zones within the complex to ensure that the event runs without any hitches and IT and operational staff are preparing to work extended hours to ensure a seamless Indaba experience.
"A lot of effort has gone into transforming the event into a contemporary, pan-African trade show and we look forward to seeing the positive results these innovations will hold for South Africa's tourism industry and for Africa as a whole", concluded Ellingson.


It is hard to believe but no matter how long we live there will be things that will baffle Us. I am sure you remember the old saying how can the pot call the kettle black? Donald Trump has the nerve to call Hillery Clinton a liar. This man does not worry if anything that come out of his month is true.
Tonight, I am a loss for words and truly heartbroken upon learning of the death of my legal colleague and one of my constitutional mentors, local Orlando attorney C. Chad Cronon.
I met Chad professionally some years back, shortly after I was admitted into the Florida Bar, at one of the criminal court's many morning hearings.
Confession; I actually forgot the debate was happening on Saturday night until 48 hours ago (thank God for DVR). I would feel bad about this but I think that DNC chair Debbie Wasserman-Shultz planned it that way. These debate times are designed for low viewing and fewer criticism. We are already half way through the debate schedule and less than half of America is even tuned into the Democratic side.
Can you believe we are five debates in and we still do not know if the Trump shield of invincibility will finally come down long enough for other candidates to expose his weakness, at this point Trumps aura is the deathstar, and his opponents are the rebel faction tasked with fighting him. With the tragedies happening in both Paris and then San Bernardino, it was easy to predict that National Security and the topic of terrorism will take center stage tonight.
My comment about the ministers supporting Donald Trump; I have NO comment, BUT I do have a few words of WISDOM. See the bigger picture!!!
Let us first address the dynamic of the "African American Preacher" and his congregation. It has been well expounded upon that after reconstruction era all the way until the end of the civil rights movement in the 70's. The Black preacher was considered the moral mouthpiece, heart, leader and often times "oral" newspaper for the community.


Ha! I think this will make Portland a better place to live. One humbled hipster at a time.
Truly Awesome! Wish I could have seen that for myself.
I will help to salve your conscience: I'm sure the hipster was so assured of his own manliness that your unasked for opinion only strengthened his sense of virility, and he probably walked away assured that your own sense of masculinity was a source of personal doubt, revealed by your reaction to the perceived feminine nature of his attire. -- See. Don't you feel better now?

Ten Family Game Night Ideas
As the days are getting shorter and the air is getting cooler, we are slowly moving from outdoor activities to indoor activities. For our family, that means the return to game nights! We have a standard weekly game night, but usually wind up playing games together several nights during the week and weekends.
Andrew is six, so the games we play are for the younger crowd; however, I must confess that I enjoy playing them as much as he does! Here are some of our favorites:
1. Scrabble, Jr. I'm so happy that my son is carrying on my tradition of loving Scrabble® – even if it is the junior version!
2. Candyland. Who hasn't played this classic game?! Candyland was a great game when Andrew was smaller and learning his colors and it still continues to be one of his favorites.
3. Chutes and Ladders. Another classic game. I can't tell you how annoying it is to get close to the end of the game only to land on one of the slides that brings you back to the beginning of the game!
4. Trouble. Oh, watch out with this game, it can get a little loud AND frustrating. 🙂
5. Silly Sentences. Not only does this game teach reading and grammar (almost without the children realizing it), it's fun!
6. Hungry, Hungry, Hippo. This is a loud game, so I personally can't play this game for too long; but, Andrew loves it!
7. Don't Break the Ice. My son totally has this game backward. The object of the game is to NOT let the little polar bear fall; but Andrew always wants to make it fall! Ha!
8. Connect Four. When I was growing up, I only knew of one version of this game; but, now apparently there are three – and all of them are fun.
9. Operation. The version of this game that I remember is a little different than the one that is out now. However, it's still just as fun. (Although I don't get the same kick out of having to retrieve the "runny nose" as much as Andrew does!)
10. Twister. I can't play this game because of physical limitations; but, I do get to spin the board and call out the colors and placement (and laugh at everyone else trying to contort their bodies to get into the right position!). This is definitely a HILARIOUS game for the whole family.
What about you? Does your family have a regular game night? What games do your family enjoy playing?
(Linked to Top Ten Tuesday and Works for me Wednesday.)
'Becca says
We don't have a regular game night, but we do play games often, and we also have a six-year-old son. One of our favorites is Aquarius or (same game, different art) Seven Dragons. Here is a review. Another new favorite for us is The aMAZEing Labyrinth–it says age 8 and up, but my son and his friends have learned it easily.
'Becca…recently posted…Sleep Strategies for Babies, Children, and Parents
Thanks for sharing these games and reviews!
Another suggestion might be doing a jigsaw puzzle as a family. This site http://www.alljigsawpuzzles.co.uk/ has a ton of good puzzle to choose from.
Thanks for the suggestion, Jason.


The initial stages of a solar installation process are a bit costly. Before installation, find out whether your roof will need any repairs. Address this issue first as it will be easier than after the solar panels are put in place. Ask Brooklyn SolarWorks to assist you if you are not sure where to begin. Establish whether your roof is correctly positioned to receive maximum sunlight. In rented houses or apartments, installation may not be allowed. Should this be the case, consider the option of solar gardens; a system where several households share a solar array.
The main types of solar panels available are Photovoltaic and Thermal panels. Thermal solar panels use heat from the sun to heat indoor air and water systems while photovoltaic panels have cells that convert sunlight directly into electricity. Both types of solar panels have their benefits. Seek professional advice to discover which option is better for you.
Solar installation can yield significant cost savings in the long run. Depending on your financial status, you can choose to either lease or buy your panels. If you choose the former, ensure that you understand the terms of your agreement. Work with your solar installer to establish a budget that covers the purchase and installation of your panels.
There are many solar installation professionals in this industry. Ensure you select the best to install and maintain your panels. Seek advice from prior clients of any company you consider hiring to examine their work. Ascertain that they have the proper certifications and licenses.
Consult your electric company about grid connection before solar installation. Be aware of regulations that govern electricity distribution, cost of connection, and transmission times. After establishing the facts, get connected. The surplus power produced by your installation will be fed back into the grid and may earn you credits from the power company.
Solar power is a great alternative to traditional electricity. Not only are you helping protect the environment, you are also making an investment in your future.

The combination of meatballs and pasta can be made in so many different ways. Today, we're combining delicately flavored meatballs simmered in tomato sauce which are combined with piping hot rigatoni pasta. This Italian preparation can be easily cooked with a handful of ingredients. One can opt for a preferred red meat variety though I'll recommend beef to get the best results. Similarly, rigatoni can be replaced by your favorite pasta variant. Use generous amount of extra virgin olive oil to get a rich flavor. You can moderate the spice level too as per your taste. So, let's make this extremely delicious pasta and meatballs recipe to delight and surprise our family and friends.
Savor this delicious Italian pasta preparation made with rigatoni and meatballs cooked in flavorful tomato sauce which gives it a delicate taste and aroma.
Take a large bowl and add ground meat, parsley, garlic, whipped egg, ground pepper, and salt in it.
Mix all the ingredients and shape the seasoned meat into medium-sized meatballs.
Heat enough olive oil in a heavy base skillet to half dip the meatballs.
Fry all the meatballs on a low flame till the surface turns light brown from all the sides.
There's no need to place these meatballs on a paper towel as the grease adds to the flavor.
Leave about half a cup of oil used for frying the meatballs in the same skillet.
Add both onion and celery and sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes on a medium flame.
Add pureed tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.
At this stage, one can also add dried herbs like rosemary (optional) to elevate the flavor.
Finally add meatballs and simmer for about 45 minutes on a low flame stirring twice or thrice at equal intervals.
Add basil leaves and stir gently.
Boil rigatoni in salted water until al dente.
Add the cooked pasta in the piping hot tomato sauce and simmer for 2 minutes.
Top it with sheets (or in grated form) of Parmesan cheese.

Q: lmer: predictions on population level trigger an error I want to use linear mixed model and make predictions on population level (i.e. using only fixed effects and using 0 instead of random effects).
Example model:
require(lme4)

fm1 <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (Days | Subject), sleepstudy)
summary(fm1)
# values for prediction:
newx <- seq(min(sleepstudy$Days), max(sleepstudy$Days))

I tried several methods of the prediction on population level but they all failed:
pred <- predict(fm1, newdata = data.frame(Days = newx), allow.new.levels = TRUE)
# Error: couldn't evaluate grouping factor Subject within model frame: try adding grouping factor to data frame explicitly if possible

pred <- predict(fm1, newdata = data.frame(Days = newx, Subject = NA), allow.new.levels = TRUE)
# Error: Invalid grouping factor specification, Subject

pred <- predict(fm1, newdata = data.frame(Days = newx, Subject = as.factor(NA)), allow.new.levels = TRUE)
# Error: Invalid grouping factor specification, Subject

I tried to find the manual for the proper prediction method, but I don't know how? I tried to look at help(package = "lme4") and the closest function I found was predict.merMod (though the class of model fm1 is lmerMod not merMod). ?predict.merMod reads:

allow.new.levels   (logical) if FALSE (default), then any new levels (or NA values) detected in newdata will trigger an error; if
  TRUE, then the prediction will use the unconditional
  (population-level) values for data with previously unobserved levels
  (or NAs)

It specifically says "or NAs", but it apparently doesn't work that way!!

*

*Am I looking at the help page of a proper method? If not, what is the right method?

*How to make the prediction work on the population level?

A: You're looking for re.form:

re.form: formula for random effects to condition on.  If 'NULL',
            include all random effects; if 'NA' or '~0', include no
            random effects

As for your other questions:

*

*merMod is a "super-class" that includes both linear (lmerMod) and generalized linear (glmerMod) models: see ?"merMod-class"

*your second two tries probably should have worked; however, allow.new.levels was designed for cases with occasional NA values, not all NA values ... predict(fm1, newdata = data.frame(Days = newx, Subject = "a"), allow.new.levels = TRUE) does work.  It looks like the code detects an all-NA column and interprets it as something having gone wrong upstream - this could be fixed in the code, but doesn't seem very high-priority since re.form exists.

"You are correct about most editorial cartoonists today. However, this is because the art form is by and large in a very debased state. Editorial cartoons can in fact make arguments, though you are surely correct that those working today are not required to do so. And because they are not, the liberals among them (the majority, alas) are the least disciplined of all.
"However, to see how editorial cartoonists can in fact use the art form to argue and reason, look at the work of the late, great Jeff MacNelly. One of my favorites of his shows a huge overweight figure labeled 'government.' Riding on his back is another heavy-set, angry figure labeled 'voter.' From atop the government's shoulders, voter demands of him, 'get off my back.' This imagery does not translate into a simple slogan. It in fact makes a reasoned statement that might go as follows: 'The government is bloated. Many complain about it. However, those that do also fail to notice or complain about their OWN dependence on government.' The cartoon invites a response, and even those who disagree with it can see its logic and will have to contend with it if they want to make a reasonable counterstatement.
"Another cartoon, from 1989 (I can't recall the artist), shows two men destroying the Berlin Wall. One is using a hammer, the other a sickle. No words. But the argument ('communism's own fatal flaws ultimately undermined it') is powerful, even profound.

Dutasteride is the latest drug developed to combat baldness, and it is used by some patients. The drug was developed by Glaxo.
This medicine has the same action as Finasteride but it is more potent.
It is used and recommended in the treatment of prostatic hyperplasia.
Nonetheless this drug did not obtain FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approval as a drug indicated for hair loss treatment.
Its immediate side effects are important and long-term side effects are yet unknown.
The Glaxo Company itself has recommended that this drug should not be used as a drug for the treatment of hair loss.
I myself do not commend this medicine.

FWV division Prix Productions makes major casting announcements for Buddy Holly biopic
by Bulldog Reporter | Nov 23, 2020
Golden Globe nominee Colin Hanks, Screen Actors Guild Award winner Diane Guerrero and Grammy-winning hip hop superstar Nelly have joined the cast of Clear Lake, the Buddy Holly-inspired biopic that is being helmed by Oscar-winning director Bruce Beresford of Driving Miss Daisy and Tender Mercies fame.
Clear Lake is being produced by FWV's Rick French (Not Without Hope) of Prix Productions and Stuart Benjamin (Oscar-nominated and Grammy-winning producer of Ray and La Bamba) of Stuart Benjamin Productions, in association with BMG, which manages the Buddy Holly estate and controls the U.S. publishing rights to his catalog.
Ruairi O'Connor (The Spanish Princess; The Morning Show) is attached to star as rock & roll pioneer Buddy Holly.
Hanks (Fargo; Mad Men) will co-star as Norman Petty, Holly's brilliant, but often controlling manager and producer. Hanks is an accomplished actor, director and producer who has appeared in Peter Jackson's King Kong and several Jumanji series films; and directed the acclaimed music documentaries Eagles of Death Metal: Nos Amis and All Things Must Pass: The Rise and Fall of Tower Records.
Orange Is the New Black and Doom Patrol star Guerrero has been cast opposite O'Connor in the role of Maria Elena Holly, the radiant, Puerto Rican born wife of the rock & roll legend, who along with Ritchie Valens, J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson and pilot Roger Peterson died in a plane crash outside a snowy Clear Lake, Iowa on February 3, 1959, often referred to as "the day the music died" after Don McLean famously immortalized it in his classic hit, "American Pie." Guerrero is the best-selling author of "In The Country We Love: My Family Divided," a memoir about her survival and life after family separation through deportation at a young age.
Nelly, who had a supporting role in the 2005 remake of The Longest Yard and is currently appearing on ABC's Dancing with the Stars, is one of the top-selling rap/hip-hop artists of all time. He is a double certified diamond selling artist with his debut album "Country Grammar" selling over 10 million copies in the U.S. alone. Often referred to as "The Mayor of St. Louis," Nelly will play a fellow St. Louis icon: Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Chuck Berry.
David Hirshland and Kathy Rivkin Daum (David Crosby: Remember My Name) are producing on behalf of BMG. Maria Elena Holly, Stephen Easley (general counsel to Mrs. Holly and The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation) and Peter Bradley, Jr. of The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation, are associate producers.
Patrick Shanahan, who adapted Easley and French's original story, penned the screenplay and is a co-producer. He and French are partners in Raleigh-based Prix Productions, with Easley serving as general counsel.
Hanks is represented by United Talent Agency and MGMT Entertainment, as well as Brecheen, Feldman, Breimer, Silver & Thompson; Guerrero is represented by A3 Artists Agency, Vamnation Entertainment and Jackoway Austen Tyerman Wertheimer Mandelbaum Morris Bernstein Trattner & Klein; and Nelly is represented by ICM Partners, J. Erving Management and It Girl PR.
O'Connor is represented by Independent Talent Group, LINK Entertainment, and Rick Genow at Goodman, Genow, Schenkman & Christopher. Beresford is represented by The Gersh Agency, French is represented by Buchwald and Benjamin is represented by Neville Johnson.

Ariana Grande Cuts Her Ponytail in New 'Thank U, Next' Perfume Ad: Watch
Ariana Grande via YouTube
Ariana Grande just released the ad for her 'Thank U, Next" perfume.
On Thursday (September 19), the 26-year-old pop star celebrated the launch of her brand new fragrance by dropping a commercial a hilarious sequel to her instantly iconic "Thank U, Next" music video. In it, she once again recreates beloved movies like Mean Girls, Legally Blonde, 13 Going on 30 and Bring It On, however, this new version has everyone gossiping about exactly what's in her newest perfume.
The ad also brings back a few of the stars from the original music video such as Grande's BFF Victoria Monet and new mom/YouTube star Colleen Ballinger, who says, "Supposedly she uses juicy raspberries in it so I've only been eating juicy raspberries for months so my breast milk will taste like her perfume smells."
"Rumor has it, she put part of her ponytail in it," another person claims before the video cuts to Grande literally cutting a piece of her iconic ponytail to put into the fragrance.
The "Boyfriend" hitmaker also makes an appearance to poke fun at herself. "Honestly, I'm not the biggest Ariana Grande fan, but I do hear the new fragrance is... somewhat promising," she said.
Watch Ariana Grande's new fragrance commercial, below:
"I wanted to make a fragrance that smells related to my first fragrance Ari but more summery, so I revisited Ari's fruity pear and raspberry notes and changed it up by adding some coconut," Grande said in a statement to ABC. "I was inspired to design a bottle that represented the message of my song 'thank u next' — the emergence of the perfume from the broken heart represents moving forward from a challenging chapter."

In total some 3,000 people. Associated with a small Madrid-based group, it is conceivable that the information given out by the ultraswas taken from the 1979 electoral lists, as well as the old archives of the extinct Brigada Político Social, something not impossible taking into account the multiple contacts between the extreme right and the State security forces. Journalist Mariano Sánchez Soler mentioned in his book "The bloody transition" the existence of fascist groups in Valladolid, Madrid, and Barcelona coordinated with the so-called Operación Cuchillo.


Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis: Argentine Central Bank Chief Quits in Currency Dispute; Hyperinflation On the Way?
Argentine Central Bank Chief Quits in Currency Dispute; Hyperinflation On the Way?
On Tuesday evening, Argentine President Cristina Fernández accused Juan Carlos Fábrega, head of Argentina's central bank, of "provoking a devaluation of the peso".
In response Head of Argentine Central Bank Quits.
Without naming Mr Fábrega directly, Ms Fernández accused the central bank during a nationwide address on Tuesday night of failing to control "manoeuvres" by banks and brokers to provoke a devaluation of the peso, and suggested that "privileged information" had been leaked.
After continual clashes over economic policy with Argentina's economy minister Axel Kicillof, there are fears that Mr Fábrega's departure may clear the way for greater government control over the central bank.
"Kicillof has increased his power, he will have a bigger say on monetary issues and we should expect an acceleration in the pace of the worsening of financial conditions," said Miguel Kiguel, who runs the EconViews consultancy.
There was a sharp sell-off in the benchmark Merval stock index after Mr Fábrega's departure was announced. But Luis Secco, an economist, argues that the central bank has been "absolutely subordinated" to the executive's decisions "for a long time".
Mr Fábrega leaves the central bank as annual inflation has climbed to around 40 per cent, and presided over huge monetary emission to finance a growing fiscal deficit, with negative real interest rates of about 20 per cent.
Inquiring minds may be seeking proof the central bank has been "absolutely subordinated for a long time".
Here's a chart that shows just that.
On July 31, 2008, the peso had been relatively stable an traded at 3.03 pesos to the US dollar. Today the peso trades at 8.45 to the US dollar. That's a decline of 64%.
Does a 64% decline constitute hyperinflation? No not quite. Hyperinflation is generally defined as a complete collapse in currency.
Nonetheless, such a decline does constitute severe inflation, especially since the decline has gone increasingly hyperbolic in the past two years.
The black market exchange rate is about 14 pesos to the dollar. That's a decline of 78%. And that is arguably hyperinflation territory depending on how fast that decline occurred.
Here's a Black Market exchange rate chart form the Wall Street Journal as of the end of August.
On September 5, the Wall Street Journal reported Argentina Moves to Limit Dollar Purchases.
Argentina limited the number of people who can buy U.S. dollars on Friday, following record demand for greenbacks amid fears that a debt default and hard-currency shortages could lead to a second peso devaluation this year.
Argentine taxpayers seeking to legally buy up to $2,000 a month are now required to have a monthly salary of at least 8,800 pesos ($1,046). The increase from the previous floor of 7,200 pesos comes amid growing concerns about the central bank's declining foreign-currency reserves.
Argentines have bought almost $1.5 billion since the program was launched in January, when the government devalued the peso by about 20% in an ultimately successful bid to halt a run on the currency and reserves. In just the first four days of September, taxpayers bought $147 million, compared with $260 million for all of August.
The dollar purchases speak volumes about where some Argentines think the exchange rate is headed because buyers pay a 20% tax on those transactions, which effectively means they are paying about 10.10 pesos for each greenback. The local Rofex futures market quotes the peso at 9.1650 to the dollar in December.
Argentines have few reasons to hold pesos. Benchmark deposit rates are at 21%, while inflation is widely believed to be nearly 40%. A black-market exchange rate of around 14 pesos to the dollar makes the official exchange rate of 8.41 pesos look overvalued and hurts confidence in the currency.
The government has been selling limited amounts of dollars to taxpayers to keep them from turning to an underground currency market that is feeding inflation and devaluation expectations. But the default has rekindled demand for U.S. currency, causing the black-market dollar rate to surge from 12.30 pesos in late July and leading people to buy more dollars from the government.
AGRICULTURE ought to be Argentina's strength. Instead, incessant intervention has turned it into a source of weakness. The government has meddled in wheat production since 2006 by raising export taxes and setting export quotas. This interference, defended by the government as "protecting the tables" of Argentine consumers, has simply discouraged farmers from planting the crop.
The interventions show no sign of stopping. Last year's unexpectedly poor wheat harvest caused the price of bread to double, prompting the government to suspend exports of the crop. Last month was the first December in 25 years that Argentina did not export any wheat.
Wheat production in Argentina has plunged—from nearly 16m tonnes in 2005 to 8.2m tonnes in 2013. Not all the intervening years have been terrible, says Santiago del Solar, an Argentine agronomist and farmer. There were decent wheat harvests in 2008, 2011 and 2012, as high international prices incentivised farmers to plant wheat despite the unpredictability of government policy. But with export restrictions becoming tighter and tighter, Mr del Solar has slashed the area he plants with wheat. He expects other farmers will do the same.
The retreat from wheat has devastated exports. According to the US Department of Agriculture, Argentina was the world's fourth-largest exporter of wheat in 2006. By 2013, it had dropped to tenth place.
Not only are exports in tons down, prices are down even more.
Things do not look promising for Argentina.
Governments taking over central banks is a strong indication of futher trouble.
That Argentine citizens willingly pay a 20% tax to escape the peso is another sign.
A fourth factor is falling commodity prices.
If Argentina uses up all of its foreign currency reserves, it's lights out for the Argentina peso.

China's BYD to launch electric vehicles in Mexico next year
World's largest EV maker by sales says it aims to sell 10,000 vehicles in Mexico in 2023.
Chinese electric-vehicle maker BYD has announced it will launch its cars in Mexico next year [File: Kim Kyung-Hoon/Reuters]
Published On 30 Nov 202230 Nov 2022
Chinese electric-vehicle maker BYD has announced it will launch its cars in Mexico next year, with a senior executive pegging its sales target at up to 30,000 vehicles in 2024.
Next year, BYD will begin selling fully electric versions of its Tang sport utility vehicle (SUV) alongside its Han sedan through eight dealers across Mexico, the company's country head Zhou Zou told Reuters ahead of the announcement.
The world's largest EV maker by sales hopes to sell 10,000 vehicles in Mexico in 2023 and between 20,000 and 30,000 in 2024, Zou said, adding that the firm's long-term goal is to reach approximately 10 percent of total market share. Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway still has a stake in BYD after having sold some of its Hong Kong-listed shares in recent months.
As per Mexico's Automotive Industry Association, just 4.5 percent of cars sold in the first eight months of this year were hybrid – or about 31,000 of nearly 693,000 sold in total.
While BYD declined to name starting prices of its vehicles in Mexico, Zou stressed the company's affordability, saying: "We are the brand for everybody."
In September, BYD had set pre-sale prices for its Tanga and Han models at 72,000 euros ($72,500) in Europe. According to Mexico's statistics agency, few people in the country make more than $10,000 a year.
BYD's Zou also said the company aimed to sell cars through 15 licensed dealers in Mexico by the end of 2023 and hit 30 by 2024.
Representatives for the eight distributors, which include department store chain Liverpool LIVEPOLC1.MX and more traditional dealers like Grupo Continental, appeared at an event alongside BYD later on Tuesday.
The company's announcement comes as Mexico, a major car-producing hub, looks to make EVs more affordable by cutting sales taxes and import tariffs – moves Zou said marked a positive step.
In recent months, officials in Mexico have said the country is on track to meet its goal of turning 50 percent of automotive production electric by 2030.
However, a General Motors executive said this month that Mexico will more likely reach just 15 percent by 2030 if it does not change course.
Zou said as US states such as California go fully electric, Mexico – which produces a vast amount of cars for its northern neighbours – will likely follow.


The constant war of envy that so many take part in is what the commandment DO NOT COVET THY NEIGHBORS GOODS. There is also the one about the neighbors wife. Seems that it is the innocuous part of the 10 Commandments that people break without any regret or even awareness on their part.
Every time anything is attempted in a way that is intended to make government simpler and more fair, envy raises its ugly head. It is an automatic reaction that people hate anyone who is successful. Even when details are not known the first reaction is that "THE RICH WILL BENEFIT". Actually I am tickled when the rich do well. I have found no poor people that have created jobs.
I find it interesting that those who hate rich people let rich people run the parties that they are members of. It is the rich ones on the other side that are the nasty ones. It also is a wonder to me how people are always wanting free things and yet where does that money come from? Those that have it fund the programs for those who don't. Yet people still hate those who actually make money.
Those who are always talking about jobs do not take into account the number of jobs that those who buy luxury items create. Yet no one actually realizes that they are coveting what others have.
Civilizations that have been torn apart by the philosophy of hating the rich found themselves in countries that murdered its citizens and everyone was reduced to the same misery as their neighbor. Only the few who were more brutal made it to the top and lived like kings, (or dictators). And yet today education tells students that these failed experiments, that always led the world to suffering and failing miserably, is something to admire.
Of course it is absolutely imperative that belief in God had to be eliminated. Replacing the State in God's place gave licence to those who were free from any restraints that would allow their atrocities.
Today every time some horrendous event happens it is always asked 'what would drive someone to do these things'? It is very simple. When God is removed he is replaced by something and that is always evil. There is no factor that cannot be explained as to why so much evil is in the world. When good is gone the world fills the vacuum and that is evil.
When people don't hear what they want in the pulpit they just go to where they hear what they want. Many go where they are entertained and not challenged. The Bible admonishes that a person has the responsibility to warn others when they are wrong. Not to brow beat or nag. Once the error is pointed out it is the responsibility of a person to be there as a friend but not a judge.
This is something that I have difficulty with. I have a friend whom I admire who has turned her back on God. I have no idea how to approach the subject. In today's world if I say something I am condemned as intolerant. Yet it is not the fear of public condemnation it is the fear of driving her farther away from God's love and forgiveness. It is a dilemma that I wrestle with.
For all the complications of this life things would work much smoother if the simple 10 Commandments were just followed. The attitude that I want to do things my way instead of the right way has gotten this world in trouble ever since the beginning.
For those who hate rich people it would be good to stop and think what you would do with their money. Oops, that is what they already do now. It is the change in attitude that other peoples money belongs to the government is what is fueling this fight.
For those who want to battle and save the old tax system maybe the thought of slowing spending would be a better thing to fight for.

Authority, reason, experience; on these three, mixed in varying proportions, all our knowledge depends.
The authority of many wise men in many different times and places forbids me to regard the spiritual world as an illusion.
My reason, showing me the apparently insoluble difficulties of materialism and proving that the hypothesis of a spiritual world covers far more of the facts with far fewer assumptions, forbids me again.
My experience even of such feeble attempts as I have made to live the spiritual life does not lead to the results which the pursuit of an illusion ordinarily leads to, and therefore forbids me yet again.
I am not now saying that no one's reason and no one's experience produce different results. I am only trying to put the whole problem the right way round, to make it clear that the value given to the testimony of any feeling must depend on our whole philosophy, not our whole philosophy on a feeling.
Feelings, by themselves, are never an accurate guide into truth. That's why Lewis is saying we need the greater perspective; we need to see the big picture. And that big picture tells us the spiritual world is all too real. If that's the case, we need to take it seriously.

Coventry's Blitz - Moonlight Sonata
oventry's long history has been shaped by many events, some bringing prosperity; others misfortune. Two particular events have, however, had the most dire consequences; the first being the dissolution of the monasteries of the 16th century; and more recently, during World War Two, the air-raid which the Germans named Operation Moonlight Sonata - but which we in Coventry were more familiar with as "The Blitz".
This particular air raid was far more indiscriminate and inhumane than anything our city had ever experienced, and although London had already suffered more bombs and casualties during the previous few months of WWII, it was the concentration of the raid on our relatively small town centre that brought this horrific attack on Coventry to the immediate attention of the whole world. The publicity itself was a break from convention; the results of such an attack were usually kept quiet. However, the Ministry of Information chose this occasion to make use of the press to expose the senseless brutality of the Nazis. The reporting of the destruction of so many homes, and especially the cathedral, soon brought scorn on the enemy from all quarters of the civilised world.
The night of Thursday 14th November 1940, though, was all about Coventry, its people, and how they dealt with it. The next few pages will look at the many aspects of how it deeply affected our city - and how, if it hadn't been for an unfortunate error, the raid might even have been foiled.
Information for this section was taken principally from the following books: -
Air Raid - Norman Longmate
Most Secret War - R. V. Jones
Coventry at War - David McGrory
The City we Loved - Coventry Corporation
Moonlight Sonata - Tim Lewis
Ruined and Rebuilt - Provost R. T. Howard
Coventry Under Fire - Reverend G. W. Clitheroe
A Night in Little Park Street - J. B. Shelton
Coventry at War - Alton Douglas
Despite the devastation of the attack on Coventry that November night, the event was clearly a catalyst for inspiration in later years, and I'm pleased to be able to present here such inspired material....
Songwriter, Greg Harper, has composed a moving ballad about this tragic night, and it can be heard by following this link to November Sky.
Neville Macaulife has also written a beautiful poem called Coventry Rose.
For a progressive album written especially for the Blitz, try The Sonata of Coventry Cathedral by Robert Green.
In conjunction with Robert Green's album release, historian David McGrory made three short videos summarising the Blitz and its aftermath.
Many archive videos of or about Coventry's Blitz are also available to view online, including this selection....

Lecithin is a fatty substance which is found in high concentrations in the cell membrane (phospholipid). Every living cell of the body requires lecithin because of its requirement in creating cell membranes. Lecithin is both water and oil soluble and regulates the movement of fats and nutrients entering and leaving the cell.
Lecithin is required for a whole range of body functions, including infant and foetal development and as an aid in reproduction, is essential in keeping the liver and gall bladder healthy and for heart health.
The body uses lecithin both for the proper formation of bile (the body's main emulsifying compound), and as an emulsifying agent itself. Lecithin helps the body use and absorb fat-soluble nutrients, such as vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K.
Lecithin is an important precursor to the main neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, which plays an important role in memory and muscles control. Myelin sheaths that protect the brain, spine and thousands of nerves in the body are almost two-thirds lecithin.
Soy lecithin, a constituent included in most processed and packaged foods is included as a natural emulsifier or stabiliser, is extracted during the processing of soybean oil. It promotes solidity in margarine and gives a consistent texture to salad dressing and other creamy products.
The body produces its own lecithin in the liver.
People who wish to take a lecithin supplement should talk to a medical professional BEFORE taking it.
Liver disease - a 10 year study on animals showed that lecithin prevented cirrhosis and severe liver scarring caused by alcoholism. Other similar studies have shown it helps the liver affected with hepatitis.
People who wish to take an lecithin supplement should talk to a medical professional BEFORE taking it.
In generally healthy adults, there are no health concerns or contraindications at normal dosage.

How to conduct problem-oriented, comparative research?
I have long been interested in research design in the field of comparative politics and development, and I occasionally write on this topic. Usually, I am trying to thread the needle between compelling standards for making strong inferences, and the pragmatic imperatives of collecting good data in difficult places and the desire to answer substantively and theoretically interesting questions.
I recently contributed to James Mahoney and Kathleen Thelen's terrifice edited volume on comparative historical analysis (CHA) in the social sciences. Specifically, I consider the possibilities for integrating CHA with a range of social science methods, including experimental research. This piece was a revision of an earlier article I wrote on "Nested Analysis," which appeared in the American Political Science Review.
I recently published an article in Perspectives on Politics, exploring how the functioning of research cycles in the bio-medical sciences might be a relevant model for improving the quality of political science research. The editor invited several responses, and provided me an opportunity to… respond to the responses.


Jagruti's Cooking Odyssey: Sarson da Saag naal Makke di Roti - Mustard Greens curry with Cornmeal/maize flour Indian bread !
Sarson da Saag naal Makke di Roti - Mustard Greens curry with Cornmeal/maize flour Indian bread !
The amazing diversity of fresh greens and green leafy vegetables always draws them to my attention wherever they are..they brighten up my eyes...I love to get hold of fresh, vibrant leafy vegetables and as soon as I get hold of them I start thinking about what I will do with them :). You can't beat Leafy greens, whether they are used in salads, soups or stews. Salad greens include lettuce, spinach, endive, escarole, and radicchio. Popular cooking greens include Swiss chard, kale, collards and mustard greens.
Mustard seeds are abundantly available in London around the summer time and I never fail to get hold of these greens and prepare sarson da saag, which is a gravy prepared out of mustard greens served alongside with Makke di roti, Indian bread made out of fine cornmeal. A few days back, I saw proper Makke da Atta in my local shop. So next time I'll prepare Makke di roti with this flour instead.
Mustard greens have broad, frilled leaves. Mustard greens have a distinct, crunchy yet tender texture. The flavour is peppery and gives off a spicy smell during cooking.
Somehow I never ate this dish in India. I was delighted when one of my Punjabi friends taught me this dish when I came to the UK. Needless to say, every single time I prepare this dish, the taste is divine and devoured by each and everyone of my family members !!

Love this traditional Punjabi meal..
So healthy..In India we use batua instead of palak.but here I also add palak because we don't get all these rare Indian greens.
Wat an authentic foods, this combo rocks!
What a superb looking saag... my all time favorite..
Rocking combo of meal. Long time could not eat sarshon ki saag with makkai di roti, feeling hungry by seeing this tempting palatte.


When you first start working to obtain more online reviews, it can seem awkward to ask customers for feedback. There's no way around it. Reviews matter, and if you're not actively seeking them, then you won't receive the quantity or quality you need to be competitive.
When you ignore reviews and the issues revealed in the complaints go unnoticed by a company, then you're risking the success of your business.
Online reviews don't have to be a passive part of your business. Instead, you can leverage them to attract more customers on multiple platforms. Here are a few strategies to help you make the most out of your customer reviews.
The trick is keeping an open ear and placing yourself at the pulse of your customers' thoughts. But, that can be easier said than done. In this blog, I'll be answering that question and bringing light to key ingredients that'll make your social soufflé rise.
Inbound isn't about selling a message — it's about educating, influencing and persuading customers to the point where they're excited about what you have to say. Like traditional psychologists, inbound marketers use a much more analytic approach to campaigns than you'd think.

Ravenous 4.
Audio Another series galumphs to the end and although I've enjoyed it more than either Dark Eyes or Doom Coalition, why do I feel like it's time to move the Eighth Doctor on to some new paradigm? Perhaps it's because once again, the stand alone episodes in Ravenous have been the strongest by far and that just as previous attempts and serialisation have shown, this sort of thing doesn't really work in Doctor Who for longer than a few stories. When the EDAs attempted this sort of thing, it was always far more successful when it encompassed half a dozen books rather than a dozen or so, and having a single box for the Ravenous would have been far preferable to what we've had here. That said, there's still plenty of fun to be had, especially in the closing couple of episodes.
Doctor Who does A Quiet Place. Sort of. Having the Eleven as a Turlough figure seems ok in theory, but it leaves the Doctor looking like a naive idiot because once again he's in the position of assuming the best in people even if everything which has happened previously would indicate that he has no reason to. But it feels out of character for this Doctor and it's simply bizarre when it's revealed that he isn't stringing the Eleven along to see what he's up to but does genuinely believe he's changed, admonishing the very real suspicions of his companions, one of whom has already made the same mistake. The Doctor isn't Charlie Brown. He's Lucy.
Planet of Dust
Doctor Who does Mad Max: Fury Road with the Beevers Master as Immortan Joe. Sort of. One of the joys of Big Finish is how they've taken a character like this version of the Doctor's old frenemy and made him a viable antagonist based on just a few episodes of the classic series (four of which this actor didn't appear in) without running roughshod over televisual continuity. He has the perfect hook, a desperation to survive and although we know how he'll ultimately succeed (poor Tremas and would you believe I've only just realised that was an anagram), it provides plenty of narrative mileage to work from as is demonstrated here.
Day of the Master
Big moment for this project as the Eighth Doctor and the Bruce Master meet for the first time, or at least the first time outside of prose or the comics. The Diary of River Song has somewhat dulled the impact, the explanation for his survival having been established there already, but nevertheless hearing McGann and Roberts in a scene together again after twenty-odd years is quite the thing to behold even if it doesn't seem like they recorded together (not that you'd notice). Congratulations to John Dorney for returning him to a place at the end which means that other versions of his story also still make sense (in a way which suggests he was using the TARDIS Datacore as a reference).
The final episode is delicious. Messes Roberts, Jacobi and Gomez chomp merrily on the imaginary scenery, the latter clearly enjoying every second of this and foreshadowing her reaction to the Saxon Doctor (we have to assume this is the prequel). But the sheer number of mysteries and twists tumbling over each other to get out are incredible, to the point that I thought we might even stumble over the origins of the Eleven (was this a deliberate red herring?). Incredibly dark in places, this nevertheless has a heart as big as the ticker carried around by Kelly Hutchinson in Roger Sanchez's Another Chance video and I can't wait to see what happens next.

"A bunch of flowers and I slam the door ..."
Music Boom. It's Graham Norton day and #Sugababes is trending on the Twitters. Here's why:
Yes, it's cover version, but listen to those harmonies. I'm bias, but this is a far richer experience than the original and indeed gives us a window into what (the) Sugababes might have been like if Siobhan had stuck around for another couple of albums. Plus according to the track listing on Spotify, this by Sugababes. No definitive article. So they have properly got the name back and I'd love to know the story of that. Everything old is new again.
Meanwhile Amelle's on Coach Trip (whatever that is) which caused this extraordinary exchange:
"Tensions have been rising between the pair as 31-year-old James - who is on the trip with Essex co-star James 'Diags' Bennewith - continues to arrive late to the coach.
And things hit an all time high when the group were asked what their favourite Sugarbabes song is in honour of new passenger Amella Berrabah.
Arg was quick to say his favourite one was Overload, and Brendan jokingly asked if it was also Diags' choice because 'he does all the talking.'
The TOWIE star then shouted back: "You asked me my favourite Sugababes song so I'm f*****g telling you what my favourite Sugababes song is.
"Maybe I have got a different one to Diags."
Not stopping there, he added: "You like the sound of your own voice too much mate, slow yourself down."
After Brendan gave him a stern talking to, Arg later explained his outburst to the camera adding: "He got proper loud and rude in front of everyone, he proper mugged me off in front of my pals."
And the rest of the passengers were shocked by Arg's behaviour, as Steps singer Ian 'H' Watkins, 43, said: "I saw a different side to Arg. It almost was verging on nasty."
It's probably beside the point to note that he managed to pick a Sugababes track that was well before Amelle's time and that's not the thing they had a row about. Anyway, here's Amelle singing Overload with Keisha and Heidi.

Q: colorbox previous and next not working I have 2 scripts that seem to be in conflict, so that the Previous and Next buttons do not show on the Colorbox overlay (the Close button is there and works fine). My css calls are correct and I rule that out as an issue anyway by adding:
#cboxPrevious, #cboxNext {display:block !important; overflow:visible;}

which then shows the next and previous graphic buttons but they do not function when clicked (this has since been deleted).
The Chrome javascript console gives me this message:
Error: cboxElement missing settings object jquery.colorbox.js:204

Lastly, if I comment out Animated Repsonsive Grid, the controls perform correctly on the Colorbox overlay.
I did try to put the Colorbox script in noConflict mode, but that only disabled the Animated Responsive Grid.

Q: the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used in if else statement pred=data.frame(seq(1,100,by=2))
obs=data.frame(seq(1,100,by=3))
pr=data.frame(seq(1,200,by=4))
for (i in 1:dim(pred)[2]) {
  if (pr[,i]>max(pred[,i],na.rm=T)){
    pr[,i]=pr[,i]*(max(obs[,i],na.rm=T)/max(pred[,i],na.rm=T))}}

I am getting error"the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used" any alternatives??

A: If I understand you correctly you want to multiply all values matching a condition with a factor. For your example it would be:
pred=data.frame(seq(1,100,by=2))
obs=data.frame(seq(1,100,by=3))
pr=data.frame(seq(1,200,by=4))
condition <- pr[,1] > max(pred[,1],na.rm=T)
#set NA values false
condition[is.na(condition)] <- F
fac <- max(obs[,1],na.rm=T)/max(pred[,1],na.rm=T)
pr[condition,1] <- pr[condition,1]*fac
#do other stuff if the condition is false

Q: How to get only links that has a particular id from list of links using selenium I am new to the selenium framework and I must say it is an awesome library. I am basically trying to get all links from a webpage that has a particular id "pagination", and isolate them from links that don't have such id, reasons because I want to go through all the pages in this link.
for j in browser.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div#col-content > div.main-menu2.main-menu-gray strong a[href]"):
     print(j.get_property('href')))

The code above gets all the links with and without pagination.
example links with pagination.

example links without pagination.
https://www.oddsportal.com/soccer/africa/africa-cup-of-nations/results/
In my code, I try to find if the given ID exists on the page, pagination = browser.find_element(By.ID, "pagination") but I stumble on an error, I understand the reason for the error, and it is coming from the fact that the ID "pagination" does not exist on some of the links.
no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":"[id="pagination"]"}

I changed the above code to pagination = browser.find_elements(By.ID, "pagination"), which returns links with and without pagination. so my question is how can I get links that has a particular id from list of links.

            else:

    try:
        browser.find_elements("xpath", "//*[@id='pagination']/a[6]")
    except:
        condition = False

A: As you are using Selenium, you are able to actually click on the pagination's forward button to navigate through pages.
The following example will test for cookie button, will scrape the data from the main table as a dataframe, will check if there is pagination, and if not, will stop there. If there is pagination, will navigate to next page, get the data from the table, navigate to the next page and so on, until the table data from the page is identical with table data from previous page, and then will stop. It is able to handle an n number of pages. The setup in the code below is for linux, what you need to pay attention to is the imports part, as well as the part after you define the browser/driver.

        break
    print(dfs[0])
    initial_games_table_data = games_table_data
    print('went to next page')
    t.sleep(3)

A: You are seeing the error message...
no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":"[id="pagination"]"}

...as all the pages doesn't contain the element:
<div id="pagination">
    <a ...>
    <a ...>
    <a ...>
</div>

Solution
In these cases your best approach would be to wrapup the code block with in a try-except{} block as follows:
for j in browser.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div#col-content > div.main-menu2.main-menu-gray strong a[href]"):
    try:
        WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, "pagination")))
        print([my_elem.get_attribute("href") for my_elem in WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div#pagination a[href*='page']")))])
    except:
        print("Pagination not available")
        continue

Note : You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Update
A couple of things to note.

*

*The (By.ID, "pagination") element doesn't have a href attribute but the several decendants have. So you may find conflicting results.

*

*As you are using WebDriverWait remember to remove all the instances of implicitly_wait() as mixing implicit and explicit waits can cause unpredictable wait times. For example setting an implicit wait of 10 seconds and an explicit wait of 15 seconds, could cause a timeout to occur after 20 seconds.
