medi Rehab one compression stocking after surgery on a torn cruciate ligament
Interview with Christof Brandner
"What motivates me? Always pushing myself to my limits and achieving my best!"
His grandpa Ludwig am Jenner taught him to ski. Today, 25-year-old Christof Brandner from WSV Königssee, counts Downhill, Super-G and Alpine Combined among his favourite disciplines. The fact that speed is in his blood was demonstrated by his fourth-place win in the 2019 European Cup downhill race on the world-famous and infamous Streif, which is one of the most difficult downhill runs in the world. The third-place German champion, who finished second in the European Cup overall ranking for downhill in 2019, also loves off-piste challenges. After a cruciate ligament tear, he fought his way back into the World Cup. His perfect recovery process? A combination of therapy and medical aid. The medical compression stocking medi Rehab one supported the reduction of the oedema after the operation and in rehab, so that he can restore his astonishing speed next season, in keeping with his sporting mentality.
Christof, you injured yourself during a training run at the end of 2019. Diagnosis: cruciate ligament tear. How did that happen?
"For the Combined, I trained slalom at Pfelders in South Tyrol. During my third run, there was a point when I didn't have an optimal angle; my upper body twisted and I heard a clicking sound. The next moment I was lying in the snow. It was strange because I wasn't in pain. That was at the end of November 2019, around 6 p.m. How do I remember so exactly? Two years before, on almost the same day at the same time, I had torn my syndesmotic ligament and medial collateral ligament in my knee!"
How were you treated right after the accident?
"We didn't have a physiotherapist with us in Pfelders, so we decided to go immediately to the clinic in Munich. The investigation confirmed my suspicions: a cruciate ligament tear. I was operated on very quickly – and the pain afterwards was worse than I had ever experienced before. My knee was also very swollen at first."
After that you went to rehab – what did a typical day look like?
"As is fitting for an athlete, my day began at 7:40 a.m. before breakfast with an exercise activity: cycling! The rehabilitation measures continued in the afternoon: from manual physiotherapy and leg strength training on an unstable surface to core and movement drills. The focus was always on strengthening my knee."
You wore the medi Rehab one compression stockings for post-operative support. How did the medical aid affect your recovery?
"At first after surgery, I wore the stocking almost 24/7, which quickly reduced the swelling. During rehab the stocking supported me mainly during training, even in the mornings when I went on the bike."
How did the medi Rehab one feel on your knee?
"It was an integral part of my daily routine and from the very beginning it just felt like a normal stocking for me, because it is very comfortable to wear. I pulled it over my knee and made sure it was in place. The ribbed structure and positioning aid at the knee make the Rehab one really easy to put on and take off."
What are the characteristics of an optimal aid for you?
"For me as an athlete it is crucial that I can't feel the aid, but at the same time, I have to know that I can rely on it absolutely – and the Rehab one achieves that. It fits perfectly, doesn't slip during sport and is super comfortable to wear."
After rehab you continued to work on the stability of your knee. What was the plan?
"I trained a lot with my physiotherapist – up to six hours a day. Now it's time to gradually build it up and get back into team training."
That requires a lot of discipline. How do you motivate yourself daily to get back to the top?
"Motivation plays a major role in competitive sports. I am good at what I do and I like to push myself to my limits – that's what drives me. I like to maximize my performance even in training. I like going to the limit – not only in sports, but also in my free time. I just have this athlete's mentality in me."
So, you don't see the injury as a setback, but will continue to push ahead at full power?
"Definitely! I have my sights firmly set on the coming season and will go to my limits to get the best out of myself and my body."
Christof, we wish you all the best and great success in the next season! Thanks for talking to us!

Bundestag (Germany)
redirectTemplate:Politics of Germany
The Bundestag ("Federal Diet") is the parliament of Germany. It was established with Germany's constitution of 1949 (the Grundgesetz), and is the successor of the earlier Reichstag.
3 Election
The Bundestag was also the name of the governing body of the German Confederation from 1815-1866. This body met in Frankfurt and was presided over by the Austrian delegate. As one of the chief instruments of the reactionary forces opposed to democracy and nationalism, it was dissolved during the liberal revolution of 1848 but reconvened in 1850. It is a predecessor to the modern Bundestag in name only. While the modern parliament is elected by the people, the Bundestag of the German Confederation was appointed by the various princes and the governments of the free cities.
With the dissolution of the German Confederation in 1866 and the founding of the German Empire in 1871, the Reichstag was established as the German parliament in Berlin. The Reichstag delegates were elected by direct and equal manhood suffrage (and not the three-class electoral system prevailing in Prussia until 1918). The Reichstag did not participate in the appointment of the Chancellor until the parliamentary reforms of October 1918. After the Revolution of November 1918 and the establishment of the Weimar Constitution, women were given the right to vote for (and serve in) the Reichstag, and the parliament could use the no-confidence vote to force the chancellor or any cabinet member to resign. In 1933, the Reichstag voluntarily ceded its powers to Chancellor Adolf Hitler. Afterward it met only rarely to unanimously rubber-stamp the decisions of the government. It was last convened on 26 April 1942.
Bonn_Wasserwerk.jpg
Old pump building in Bonn, temporary seat of the Bundestag 1986-1992
In 1949, with the establishment of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany), the Bundestag was established as the new (West) German parliament. Because Berlin was not officially part of the Federal Republic, the Bundestag met in Bonn in several different buildings, including (provisionally) a former water works facility. The former Reichstag building housed a history exhibition ("Fragen an die deutsche Geschichte") and served occasionally as a conference center.
Since 1999, the German parliament has again assembled in Berlin in the Reichstag building, which is still known as the Reichstag. This building dates from the 1870's and underwent a significant renovation under the lead of architect Lord Norman Foster.
Together with the Bundesrat, the Bundestag forms the legislative branch of the German political system; Germany does not have a bicameral parliament in the strict sense though (see Bundesrat for details).
Although most legislation is initiated by the executive branch, the Bundestag considers the legislative function its most important responsibility, concentrating much of its energy on assessing and amending the government's legislative program. The committees (see below) play a prominent role in this process. Plenary sessions provide a forum for members to engage in public debate on legislative issues before them, but they tend to be well attended only when significant legislation is being considered.
The Bundestag members are the only federal officials directly elected by the public; the Bundestag in turn elects the Bundeskanzler and, in addition, exercises oversight of the executive branch on issues of both substantive policy and routine administration. This check on executive power can be employed through binding legislation, public debates on government policy, investigations, and direct questioning of the chancellor or cabinet officials. For example, the Bundestag can conduct a question hour (Fragestunde), in which a government representative responds to a previously submitted written question from a member. Members can ask related questions during the question hour. The questions can concern anything from a major policy issue to a specific constituent's problem. Use of the question hour has increased markedly over the past forty years, with more than 20,000 questions being posed during the 1987-90 term. Understandably, the opposition parties are active in exercising the parliamentary right to scrutinize government actions.
One striking difference when comparing the Bundestag with the U.S. Congress is the lack of time spent on serving constituents in Germany. In part, that difference results from the fact that only 50 percent of Bundestag deputies are directly elected to represent a specific geographic district; the other half are elected as party representatives (see below). The political parties are thus of great importance in Germany's electoral system, and many voters tend not to see the candidates as autonomous political personalities but rather as agents of the party. Interestingly, constituent service seems not to be perceived, either by the electorate or by the representatives, as a critical function of the legislator. A practical constraint on the expansion of constituent service is the limited personal staff of Bundestag deputies.
Constituent service does, however, take place in the form of the Petition Committee, rather than through individual delegates. In 2004, the Petition Committee received over 18,000 complaints from citizens and was able to negotiate a mutually satisfactory solution to more than half of them.
Members serve four-year terms; elections are held every four years (or earlier in the extremely rare case that the Bundestag is being dissolved prematurely by the Federal President). All candidates must be at least eighteen years old; there are no term limits. The election uses the additional member system, a hybrid of the first-past-the-post election system and party-list proportional representation. In addition, the Bundestag has a minimum threshold of either 5% of the national party vote or three (directly elected) constituency representatives for a party to gain additional representation through the system of proportional representation. The additional member system results in a varying number of seats; since the 2002 elections, there have been 603 seats. The distribution of the seats is calculated by the Largest remainder method. The overhang seats are distributed according to the vote count separately for each state.
Election results 2002:
percent of vote
SPD 38.5% 251 (incl. 4 overhang seats)
Bündnis '90/Grüne 8.6% 55
CDU/CSU 38.5% 248 (incl. 1 overhang seat)
FDP 7.4% 47
PDS 4.0% 2 (both directly elected)
For a list of current members, see the List of Bundestag Members
The most important organizational structures within the Bundestag are parliamentary groups (Fraktionen; sing. Fraktion), which are formed by political parties represented in the chamber which have gained more than 5% of the total votes. The size of a party's Fraktion determines the extent of its representation on legislative committees, the time slots alloted for speaking, the number of committee chairs it can hold, and its representation in executive bodies of the Bundestag. The Fraktionen, not the members, receive the bulk of government funding for legislative and administrative activities.
The leadership of each Fraktion consists of a parliamentary party leader, several deputy leaders, and an executive committee. The leadership's major responsibilities are to represent the Fraktion, enforce party discipline, and orchestrate the party's parliamentary activities. The members of each Fraktion are distributed among working groups focused on specific policy-related topics such as social policy, economics, and foreign policy. The Fraktion meets once a week to consider legislation before the Bundestag and formulate the party's position on it.
Parties which do not fulfill the criterion for being a Fraktion but which have got at least three seats by direct elections (i.e. which have got at least three MPs which represent a certain electoral district) in the Bundestag can be granted the status of a group of the Bundestag. This applied to the Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS) from 1998-2002. This status entails some privileges which are in general less than those of a Fraktion. In the current Bundestag, there are no such groups (the PDS has got only two MPs in the parliament and is thus not even considered a group anymore).
The Bundestag's executive bodies include the Council of Elders and the Presidium. The council consists of the Bundestag leadership, together with the most senior representatives of each Fraktion, with the number of these representatives tied to the strength of the party in the chamber. The council is the coordination hub, determining the daily legislative agenda and assigning committee chairpersons based on party representation. The council also serves as an important forum for interparty negotiations on specific legislation and procedural issues. The Presidium is responsible for the routine administration of the Bundestag, including its clerical and research activities. It consists of the chamber's president (usually elected from the largest Fraktion) and vice presidents (one from each Fraktion).
Most of the legislative work in the Bundestag is the product of standing committees. Although this is common practice in the U.S. Congress, it is uncommon in other parliamentary systems, such as the British House of Commons and the French National Assembly. The number of committees approximates the number of federal ministries, and the titles of each are roughly similar (e.g., defense, agriculture, and labor). Between 1987 and 1990, the term of the eleventh Bundestag, there were twenty-one standing committees. The distribution of committee chairs and the membership of each committee reflect the relative strength of the various parties in the chamber. In the eleventh Bundestag, the CDU/CSU chaired eleven committees, the SPD eight, the FDP one, and the environmentalist party, the Greens (Die Grünen), one. Unlike in the United States Congress, where all committees are chaired by members of the majority party, the German system allows members of the opposition party to chair a significant number of standing committees. These committees have either a small staff or no staff at all.

Q: Linked CSS buttons don't work in IE11 I am trying to create a group of buttons that will act as a page navigation for my site (a mobile/desktop hybrid that's the result of a non-mobile friendly platform). These buttons work in Chrome and Safari. When I test in IE11 they do not work. Does anyone know of any compatibility issues with IE11? Source code is below but note that I have commented out the :hover style.

            <button class="button1" type="button">Resources</button>
            <button class="button1" type="button">IMA Travel</button>
            <button class="button1" type="button">Military Pay</button>

            <button class="button1" type="button">Education & Force Development</button>
            <button class="button1" type="button">Entitlements & Benefits</button>
            <button class="button1" type="button">IMA Vacancies</button>

            <button class="button1" type="button">HQ RIO Detachments</button>
            <button class="button1" type="button">Awards & Boards </button>
            <button class="button1" type="button">Training </button>

A: I would actually add a Javascript event that changed pages on the divs themselves instead of adding a button. This should work on IE11 too, and possibly even on older versions of Internet Explorer. I think I remember doing such things on codecademy...
Of course this requires you know javascript and my own knowledge is too rusty (if it wasn't, I'd have added some code myself)

This book has also been reviewed in JAAR by Ted A. Smith.
In American Covenant, Philip Gorski sets out to provide specialists and nonspecialists alike with an account of the development of civil religion from the Puritans to the present. For Gorski, "the United States was not founded as a Christian nation or a secular republic, but as a prophetic republic" (202). The book not only provides a history of civil religion in the United States; it also makes a case for its importance for the success or failure of the American experiment.
Gorski begins his project by introducing readers to the three central concepts of the book. On the extreme right, we find American religious nationalism, which Gorski defines as, "a toxic blend of apocalyptic religion and imperial zeal that envisions the United States as a righteous nation charged with a divine commission to rid the world of evil and usher in the Second Coming" (2). On the extreme left, American radical secularism provides "an equally noxious blend of cultural elitism and militant atheism that envisions the United States as part of an Enlightenment project threatened by the ignorant rubes who still cling to traditional religion" (2). Gorski rejects these paths as "political idolatry dressed up as religious orthodoxy" and "political illiberalism dressed up as liberal politics," respectively (2–3). Framed as the path between Scylla and Charybdis, Gorski advocates for "civil religion"—a "prophetic republicanism"—that feeds a culture of "ecumenism, generosity, and civic friendship" (3). The civil religion is "neither idolatrous nor illiberal," recognizes "both the sacred and the secular sources of the American creed," provides "a political vision that can be embraced by believers and nonbelievers alike," and remains "capacious enough to incorporate new generations of Americans" (4).
Chapters 2 to 4 trace the threads of civil religion, religious nationalism, and radical secularism from the establishment of Puritan New England (the first founding) through the Civil War (the first refounding). As the United States began to develop and pull away from England, Gorski argues, the American founders generally understood republicanism and Christianity as complementary, rather than opposed, united by the shared emphasis on the Hebrew prophetic tradition. Importantly, we see apocalyptic religious nationalism largely in relief during this period: with very few exceptions, it is missing in the political discourse. The second founding of America was not established on the premise of radical secularism, but neither was it grounded in a distinctly "Christian" tradition. The Civil War would continue to witness a prophetic republicanism (e.g., Fredrick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln), but also a religious nationalism, with its new rhetoric of "blood atonement" accomplished by the war. Against this backdrop, one better understands the reactionary rise of radical secularism that began during Reconstruction.
The remainder of the book (chapters 5–7) follows the development of religious nationalism, radical secularism, and civil religion from the first half of the twentieth century through the presidency of Barack Obama. During the first decades of the twentieth century, figures like John Dewey, Jane Addams, Reinhold Niebuhr, and W.E.B. Du Bois responded to increasing secularity, diversity, and power. In addition, influential advocates of premillennial dispensationalism (a branch of conservative evangelicalism) such as Aimee Semple McPherson, contributed to the development of contemporary American religious nationalism by infusing political discourse with deeply apocalyptic ideas and rhetoric. In the decades following World War II, public intellectuals like Hannah Arendt, Martin Luther King Jr., and John Courtney Murray—each in their own way—enlivened the Athenian roots of Western democracy, reengaged the prophetic republicanism of the Hebrew tradition, and reintegrated the prophetic and republican strands of the civil religious tradition. On the heels of the civil rights era, Gorski argues, liberal Democrats who discarded the civil religious tradition tended to fail in their presidential bids, while conservative Republicans like Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush corrupted the civil religious tradition with Christian nationalism and succeeded. In the shadow of the loss and corruption of a deeply prophetic republicanism, Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign becomes an (ultimately unsuccessful) attempt to revive civil religion. The book concludes with ruminations on the benefits of the civil religion over religious nationalism and radical secularism. At the end of the day, American civil religion's focus on justice, freedom, and equality best supports our democratic experiment.
The arrival of American Covenant rings of serendipity and presents much to consider for those interested in civil discourse and the relationship between the state and the religious commitments of its citizens. First, the release of American Covenant comes on the fiftieth anniversary of Robert Bellah's seminal article, "American Civil Religion" (Daedalus 1967: 1–21). Second, the book went to press on the heels of the 2016 presidential election, in the first year of Donald Trump's presidency. The three frontrunners in the election each represented one of the Gorski's key actors. On the extreme left, Bernie Sanders advocated a radical separation of the state and from religion (radical secularism). Hillary Clinton worked within the frame work of civil religion (similar to that of Barack Obama and Bill Clinton). And, of course, Donald Trump played to religious nationalists (the connection between "Christian nationalists" and Donald Trump has been elucidated by the recent Baylor Religion Survey, Wave V).
Gorski's central thesis resonates with the work of Scott Atran and Joseph Henrich (Biological Theory 5 : 18–30) on the evolution of religion, which emphasizes the development and ascendency of religions through their prosocial benefits. Thus framed, prophetic republicanism, as articulated by Gorski, offers the most benefit to the most Americans. Even if both radical secularism (#feelthebern) and religious nationalism (#makeamericagreatagain) are experiencing an apparent resurgence today, the emphasis on universal justice, derived from the Hebrew prophets and the founding documents, provides a more adaptable and thus palatable civil religion for American consumption.
This book is indispensable reading for lay readers and specialists alike, but it will be of particular interest to graduate students and scholars of American religion, political scientists, and critics of presidential rhetoric. It is highly recommended.

Michael Raedecker (born 1963 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands) paints interiors, still-lifes (including floral still-lifes), portraits and landscapes in combination with needle-and-thread work. He embroiders with short stitches, loose fluff and low strokes of thinly-applied paint: "I've found a way of painting with embroidery. For me, embroidery is not a political statement […] I enjoy combining the slowness of needle and thread with the quickness of paint."* His paintings generally show alienating representations characterised by the absence of people or of a clear narrative, although the titles of the work often suggest a placement within a particular frame of reference.
Raedecker is regarded as one of the most successful of Dutch artists internationally. He won the John Moores Prize (the leading British prize for painting) in 1999, and was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2000.

If your teams don't understand and believe in your data, they won't leap with you.
I'm a huge practitioner of data-driven SaaS management. I believe that almost everything in a SaaS business can and should be measured. But there are two important caveats to measurement that I've recently seen overlooked.
First, the data you use for KPIs or OKRs must be understood by your teams. And second, it must have perceived integrity. They have to know what the numbers mean and trust that they're accurate.
There are some important words in there that need emphasis. First, "understood by your teams" isn't the same as understood by the founder or the C-level. Of course you know what the data means. That doesn't mean everyone else does. Ask them to explain it to you. You may be quite surprised by the range of responses.
If your teams can't articulate what their KPIs mean and how they track back to company success, teach them.
The other important word is "perceived". It's important because even if your data is solid, if it's perceived as shaky or inaccurate, the entire data-driven management process is undermined. Trust is critical to belief. Belief is critical to passion. And passion means the difference between striving to think big and settling for incremental gains.
If there's an undercurrent implicating your data as anything less than rock solid, you need to confront that and fix it. It's hard to nurture passion from people who value achievement if they don't believe that your data is an accurate reflection of their efforts.
I've written before on SaaS scale versus SaaS maturity and how that relates to scalability. Data-driven SaaS management seems to follow right along with the maturity curve. Early on, many a SaaS may make many a decision without the benefit of data. In some cases that makes sense because of scale. For example, there's nothing worse than trying to be a data-driven beast but having too-small sample sizes. That leads to one of two very bad outcomes. One, you actually wait for the data to become statistically relevant (way too long in SaaS time). Or two, you pretend you're data driven by making gut calls on pathetic sample sizes. Either way, you lose.
The moral to the scale dilemma is not to kid yourself or your teams. Let anecdotal decisions be just that.
If you have scale in your data, you can at least have confidence in what you're seeing. But maturity can be a very different thing, and it's where the sweet spot is. I've seen immature SaaS companies (with enormous scale) make similar data-driven mistakes over and over again. Usually, those mistakes start with quantity of metrics over quality of metrics. High quantity makes it harder to understand the numbers and maintain their integrity. It's the immature first reaction to "make the company data-driven".
The data-driven SaaS management sweet spot is where scale and restraint intersect in a mature and powerful set of growth-driving numbers that everyone understands and believes.
I have a simple way of looking at the sub-metrics that live below the big hairy audacious numbers. If the revenue growth goal of the SaaS company is 10% month-over-month, then every sub-metric below that needs to improve by at least that same rate. That's always been an easy way for me to justify audacious goals down to the lowest level. It's easy for everyone to understand the logic that the topline follows what happens all the way down to their personal OKRs. It stands to reason that you can't expect BHA growth if you don't expect BHA improvement everywhere.
Passionate people get behind data they believe in. In my experience, that passion is the secret sauce that lets you expect extraordinary results beyond incremental improvement. Is that easy? No. If it was easy, everyone would do it.

Morgan dollar is one of the most storied coins in American history. Minted from 1878 to 1904 and once again in 1921, this substantial silver dollar is cherished by coin collectors and enthusiasts of American history alike. This special edition set includes Morgan dollars produced at 4different mints, including Philadelphia (no mintmark), Denver (D mintmark), New Orleans (O mintmark), and San Francisco (S mintmark). These coins were hand-selected by professional numismatists after screening thousands of coins for quality and eye-appeal. Named after the designer, U.S. Mint Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan, the obverse of the coin depicts Liberty as a youthful woman wearing a Phrygian cap, originally worn by emancipated slaves of ancient Rome, together with a headdress of cotton and wheat, staples of the U.S.economy. The reverse features an American bald eagle with outstretched wings, symbolic of the power of the U.S.government. The eagle bears in its great talons both an olive branch and 3 arrows, representing a nation of peace but one that is poised for war. The dollar was authorized by the passage of the Bland-Allison Act in1878, which required the Treasury to purchase an enormous 2 to 4 million dollars' worth of silver each month to be coined into dollars. Later, in1918, the passage of the Pittman Act ultimately led to the melting of over 270 million Morgan dollars held in treasury reserves. Today, the chosen few that remain are cherished specimens of a bygone era that serve to immortalize the memory of a young prosperous, and powerful United States of America

India Vacation Packages » Ganges River » Gangotri
Gangotri lies in the hinterlands of Himalayas at an altitude of 3,200 m above sea level and is one of the most important pilgrimage centers for the devout Hindus. The Gangotri shrine is visited by huge number of pilgrims every year. The temple is near the spot where the goddess Ganga is said to have touched the earth for the first time, in answer to the prayers of King Bhagirath.
According to the Hindu religious scriptures, the heavenly goddess Ganga manifested herself in the form of a river to absolve the sins of King Sagar's sons. After three generations of severe penance, performed over several centuries, Ganga conceded to descend to the Earth. At the legendary source of the river, Goddess Ganga is worshipped in the form of deity. Lord shiva received her into his matted locks to break the great force of her fall. From there it emerged into many streams and the one which started from Gangotri, was called Bhagirathi.
There are a number of ashrams locked on other side of the Bhagirathi, many of which provide accommodation facilities to the travellers. A dip in its icy waters is almost a must for the pilgrims; and to the temple of Bhairavanth at Bhaironghati, (10 km.) Pilgrlims also trek to Nandanvan (6km) and Kedartal (18km) from Gangotri.

Chrystia Freeland faced off with Trump and China - but is she ready for Jason Kenney?
Politics·Analysis
Chrystia Freeland's former gig in foreign affairs put her at the heart of international confrontations and crises - an experience she now says helped prepare her to take on the national unity file.
The former foreign affairs minister says her international experience prepared her for the national unity file

Chrystia Freeland's entire cabinet career to date has been spent looking out, not in — focused on foreign files such as the renegotiation of NAFTA, or navigating an increasingly strained relationship with China.
She did that work as the world was entering one of the most turbulent periods in international relations since the end of the Second World War. So it might seem odd that she considers that experience to be the ideal preparation for her new task: taking on the national unity file as regional grievances are also growing more extreme.
"I think that's why I have this new job," Freeland said Friday in an interview airing Saturday on CBC Radio's The House.
The former foreign affairs minister was tapped this week by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to serve as the new minister of intergovernmental affairs, a post that PMs often reserve for themselves. It's not even a separate department, like finance or global affairs; it's a secretariat within the Privy Council Office that advises the minister and the prime minister.
Freeland's mission is to work with the country's top bureaucrat, Privy Council Clerk Ian Shugart, to overcome regional tensions and find ways for the federal government to respond meaningfully to the demands of the regions.
Applying the NAFTA experience
She said she's being given both the tools and the authority to pursue solutions. Her working relationship with Trudeau on the national unity file, she suggested, will mirror their approach to the Donald Trump administration during the NAFTA talks.
"The prime minister and I felt like we came up with a successful way of working together on a really difficult negotiation known as NAFTA and we're going to take that approach and bring it to bear on our big national challenges," she said.
Those challenges begin in Alberta — where Freeland was raised — and Saskatchewan. Voters in those provinces elected no Liberal MPs last month. Both provincial governments are continuing their legal challenge of the federal government's price on carbon.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney is looking into pulling his province out of the CPP and establishing its own public pension plan. He's also considering establishing a provincial police force and collecting federal taxes on Ottawa's behalf — just as Quebec has done.
Premier Scott Moe of Saskatchewan is demanding a change in the way equalization is calculated, and has hired former prime minister Stephen Harper to help the province expand its trading relationships in Asia rather than relying on the Trudeau government.
Message received
Moe said he emerged "disappointed" from a meeting with the prime minister last week, telling reporters Trudeau had learned nothing from his party's dismal election results on the Prairies.
Freeland to meet with Saskatchewan premier on Tuesday
Freeland said she believes the opposite is true: the Liberals' failure to elect a single MP in those two provinces and the re-emergence of the Bloc Québécois in Quebec both point to a growing divide between Ottawa and the regions — and the Trudeau government is paying attention.
"That's a serious message," she said. "Voters are saying ... that our government has some work to do in listening."
Freeland also said she thinks the vast majority of Canadians want the country to work, want federal and provincial politicians to drop the knives and get things done. She said she believes Canadians expect that of the group of anti-Trudeau Conservative premiers Maclean's magazine infamously dubbed "the resistance" on its front cover a year ago.
She might be right. And "the resistance" might be starting to agree with her a little.
Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister — one of the premiers on that magazine cover — emerged from his own meeting with Trudeau after the October election suggesting the fight against climate change could unite the country.
"Fighting climate change is a unifying project," he said at the time. "As we move forward we should unite around fighting climate change and we should not be caught up in a debate about a subset of a subset. The carbon tax is not the only way."
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says his meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was 'phenomenal'. Once part of the group of premiers dubbed the resistance, now he says the country needs to stick together. 1:30
On Friday, another charter member of the "resistance", Ontario Premier Doug Ford, had his own session with the prime minister and Freeland in Ottawa. They discussed working together on job creation and investments in public transit and other infrastructure projects.
Asked afterward by a reporter how the meeting had gone, Ford called the conversation "phenomenal."
Did the carbon price come up? "No, no. Never came up," he replied.
"It's absolutely critical we unite the country and we stick together. I can't emphasize it enough. We have to stick together as a country and send a message to the rest of the world that we're Canada and we're ready to move forward."
The premiers of Alberta and Saskatchewan present a different challenge.
A 'daughter of Alberta'
The Liberals have played up Freeland's personal connection to Alberta, along with Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson's years spent working in Saskatchewan — even though neither minister represents a riding anywhere near Canada's oil and gas heartland.
Still, Freeland said her early life in Peace River, a community of about 6,700 people roughly 480 kilometres northwest of Edmonton, gives her a unique perspective on the needs and anxieties of the region.
Kenney to seek 'common ground' as poll finds Quebecers most OK with Alberta separation
Why Chrystia Freeland is the indispensable Trudeau cabinet minister
So what does a deputy PM do? It all depends on the boss
"I would describe myself as a grateful daughter of Alberta," she told The House when asked whether her government is hyping her Prairie roots.
"I really know myself to be a product of Alberta's excellent public schools, a product of the Alberta Heritage Trust Fund created by (former premier) Peter Lougheed, whose amazing scholarships are the whole reason I had an international career, and sent me to Harvard."
The impressive set of diplomatic skills she acquired over that international career is what the Liberals are counting on now to help them navigate one of the roughest patches in domestic politics in more than two decades.

Q: When do improper integrals converge? I am studying for an exam, and I am getting myself confused about how to tell if an improper integral is convergent or not. I know that if a function $f$ is unbounded on $[a,b]$ then $f$ is not integrable on $[a,b]$. However, when you consider improper integrals, this rule is thrown out the window. For example, $f(x) = \log(x)$ is unbounded on $(0,1]$ but the improper integral $\int_0^1 \log(x) \,dx = -1$. Is there any such rule that holds true for improper integrals that lets one tell quickly if it converges or diverges?
I have this function $f =  \begin{cases}
      \frac{1}{x} & x \in (-1,1), x \not= 0\\
      0 & x = 0 \\
   \end{cases}$
and I am trying to determine if $f$ is integrable on $(-1,1)$. I am having a hard time deciding whether it is or not. Intuitively, if the integral does exist I believe it should be $0$, but I am struggling to directly compute the integral. Can I say that $\int_{-1}^1 f \,dx= \int_{-1}^0 f \,dx + \int_0^1 f \,dx$, and then since $f$ is locally integrable on $[-1,0)$ and $(0,1]$, apply the definition of an improper integral to get that $\int_{-1}^0 f \,dx + \int_0^1 f \,dx = \lim_{c \to 0^-} \log|c| + \lim_{k \to 0^+} \log(k) = -\infty$.
Which of these answers makes sense?

A: Your intuition is right.
Applying the definition would give the correct answer, although you made a sign error: you should get $(+\infty) + (-\infty)$, and so the integral is undefined.
(note that this isn't an indeterminate limit form -- the integral really is the sum of the two limits, and so we have an undefined arithmetic operation)
Aside: the "Cauchy principal value" of the integral exists and is zero.

Pitfalls with Income-Paying Funds
"Distribution may be paid from capital of the fund." Morningstar research finds that this can happen more than investors have desired.
Kate Lin, CAIA 21 June, 2021 | 8:00
Investors have been particularly wary of distribution out of capital, because it can result in an immediate decrease in the value of units. That means investors are left with a smaller amount of capital (as measured by NAV) after the distribution, than the amount they had started with, instead of earning more for the income.
However, there are serious consequences, more than just downsized capital. Reducing the fund size means that portfolio managers have less to maneuver in generating future returns. This is not ideal from a long-term investors' perspective. Moreover, with the cash distribution, investors are to consider what to reinvest in and chances are missing out on some of the gains when sitting on cash and looking for reinvestments elsewhere.
A report authored by William Chow and Matias Möttöla at Morningstar finds that income funds may seem to pay more than the dividend offered naturally by the market. Most of them are unable to deliver a total return far above the income the funds paid out, which leads to an erosion of portfolio capital.
Most Challenged Asset Class
The report studied a sample universe of 185 funds for sale in Hong Kong. They are either 1. allocation or equity funds investing with an income-generating objective, or 2. fixed income funds. Each of the researched funds has at least US$100 million under management.
The report finds there is considerable variability between funds in each asset class, and fixed-income funds have had the largest challenges in shredding NAV from distribution.
Among the bond funds for sale in Hong Kong with a 4% or more annualized yield, three in four products ended up with a lower NAV than at the start of the period. Outside of the fixed income universe, analysts say the situation was relatively healthier. Allocation and equity funds that were unable to afford distributions without touching their capital amount to 13% and 25% of the sample universe, respectively.
Analysts explain that this is caused by a structural reason with bond funds. Fixed income securities have smaller upside potential than equities. Thus, these funds hardly sustain a high level of distribution for an extended period without the possibility of earning an impressive capital return. In order to match the promised dividend paid, managers take a great deal of risk. Within the fixed income world, this may mean going down the credit quality spectrum. On the one hand, these strategies can benefit from a strong market environment. On the other hand, their risk-return profile also could hurt in the long term. In a less sanguine market, from a total return perspective, fixed-income funds with high payouts will be heavily tested.
Avoid Higher Payout Frequency
Distribution frequency is another red flag. Funds that distributed more often tended to have higher aggregate payouts but are also prone to paying out from the capital.
On average, monthly distributing share classes made the highest payout yields, yielding above 4.2% per year for funds available for sale in Hong Kong, 4.5% in Singapore, and 4.4% in Taiwan.
The mechanism appeals to retirees for a simple reason. The income is distributed as if a person is on the job with day-to-day expenses being covered by the anticipated cash flow. Analysts remind investors that a steady level of income is not sustainable in funds that promise a monthly payout. Data show that each annual distribution of monthly share classes shrinks over time, as the funds reduced in size after high distributions. Lower-frequency distributions, like share classes offering an annual and semiannual distribution, would make lower payout yields that were generally not detrimental to capital.
Instead of exclusively chasing for high income payout, investors should factor in other attributes, such as fee and total return, before allocating capital to an investment product.
