Irish Tales I: "Alive Alive-O"
By Brian Arsenault There she stands with her cart, sweet Molly Malone, just below the intense shopping of Dublin's Grafton Street. She's selling cockles (whatever they are) and mussels and she is delightfully well endowed.

If you are into eSports, what's going down in Houston?
Over the past couple years, Houston has really become a leader in the eSports community. The Houston-based Clutch Gaming is a team in probably the most popular eSport, League of Legends, playing in the League Championship Series (LCS). Additionally, Houston has an Overwatch team, The Houston Outlaws, who just finished the inaugural season in the Overwatch League (OWL).
Prior to 2018, the League Championship Series (LCS) was an open league similar in style to England's most popular soccer league, the English Premier League, which relegates the worst teams to a lesser division.
Starting with the Spring Split (season) in 2018, the League of Legends developer, Riot Games, decided to franchise the league's teams and move toward a more American sport league style. This move incentivized investment into the sport and created a market where teams would be operated out of a city.
Bursting into the LCS in 2018, Clutch Gaming (owned by Tillman Fertitta) is one of several North American LCS teams affiliated with the NBA. In one of the more interesting intros into the LCS, Clutch turned in an average regular season, beating the teams they were predicted to beat and losing to the teams that were projected to beat them. They did squeak into the playoffs and ended up matched against the LCS perennial favorites Team Solo Mid (TSM), in the quarterfinals.
TSM, who has more wins in the LCS than most teams have appearances, had never missed an LCS final; they handily won the first game of five. Then one of the biggest upsets in the history of the LCS happened: Clutch won three straight and was the first team to keep TSM from making the LCS Finals. After falling in the Spring Semi-Finals in five games, Clutch was supposed to be an up-and-coming team in the Summer Split.
However, Clutch never seemed to get going in the split, appeared generally indecisive, and lost on the new popular style of play, commonly referred to as meta. After firing their coach mid-season, and being eliminated from playing in the World Championships, Clutch enters the offseason looking for answers. Who will be the new coach? What lineup changes are there in store before the spring split? At least it will be an interesting offseason.
The Overwatch League is a relatively new addition to eSports; 2018 was the inaugural season. Twelve franchised teams around the world compete in this six-vs-six objective-based shooter. Owned by an eSport conglomerate, Optic Gaming, the Outlaws represent Houston. The Houston Outlaws played really well in the first stage of the season, finishing in second place.
The meta shifted towards a more aggressive style in stages 2 and 3, and the Outlaws struggled to keep up. They seemed to get it together a bit more in stage 4 by making a roster change, but it was too little too late. The top six teams make the postseason, and the Outlaws finished in seventh place. Hopefully, with some more roster building and more practice during the offseason, the Houston Outlaws will give us something else to cheer about in Houston.

Is "ESG" a consumer-friendly term?
How does one name a type of investment in a way that reliably reflects its remit? With difficulty, is the short answer. Arguably, it is even trickier to get this right in the responsible investment realm. We have found in previous research that private investors can take "sustainable" in a fund name context to mean it is an investment for the long-term, or one that aims to be slow and steady. "ESG" and "SRI" are problematic simply by virtue of being acronyms. When asset managers don't spell things out, some potential investors don't feel comfortable. They worry about lack of transparency, a possible tendency to hide behind jargon and maintain an air of superiority through misdirection and sleight of hand.
Spelt out, "environmental, social and governance" is helpful in informing people what it's all about. Yet it still alludes full comprehension, continuing to be used interchangeably with "ethical" even by professional investors. And, of course, it is a bit of a mouthful.
As a more light-hearted – but still insightful – component of our private investor research on responsible investing, we asked the 1,001 investors surveyed to tell us what they think ESG stands for in an investment context. We also requested that they avoid Googling the answer (where's the fun in that?).
Two fifths of investors did not venture an answer for "E" or "S", and a slightly higher proportion were thrown by the "G". Just over a tenth (13%) of private investors can correctly spell out ESG unabbreviated, with a little flexibility given by us for very close answers ("environment" instead of "environmental", for example – we're not harsh markers here at RiF).
After "environment", "environmental" or "environmentally", popular guesses for "E" included "ethical", "economic" and "estimated". After "social", "sustainable", "standards" and "savings" were common suggestions for the "S". For "G", popular wrong answers included "growth", "group", "guidance" and "guaranteed". No prizes go to the private investor who thought it would be witty/clever to suggest "egg", nor the investor who wrote in "sausages" (incredibly, not the same individual).
Among private investors, awareness of ESG is growing from a low base. There have been quite a few FT articles on the subject in the last year and also some in specialist investment mags, which has played a role in informing investors. Yet is the term really the one to take this kind of investing mainstream? Should it be used mainly as an industry term, rather than one that makes top billing in ads and brochures?
There is work both at the EU level and within the UK's Investment Association to create a taxonomy for ESG-esque funds. We are all for this, as better-defined criteria will improve the quality of investments in this area and set categories will help professional investors to benchmark performance where comparison with 'other' funds isn't so appropriate (perhaps for positive impact funds, for example).
Yet in the consumer context, too much focus on taxonomy may put people off. They don't need sub-genres for a new type of tune they're just starting to hum. Would "responsible" be the word to have front and centre?
In our previous blog posts, we have talked about scepticism around responsible and sustainable investing as well as how it has been impacted by wider trends in the investment world, such as the popularity of passive investing and emergence of ETFs. We also covered issues such as worries around sacrificing returns, but what happens when we get slightly more granular with ESG factors and the sustainable research process?
'Big Data' has undoubtedly shaken up numerous global industries, from logistics to retail to media and many more. Behavioural data analytics are increasingly being used for R&D, sales and marketing, and other business functions and processes. Investment is of course no different, and quant tools have played a vital role in it for many years. It should come as no surprise then, that the whole spectrum of responsible investing (from ESG to impact investing) is also very reliant on data, including company disclosures, voting records. Some say ESG-specific performance metrics are still in their infancy – quite a contrast to the financial statements and annual reports that analysts have incorporated into their research process for years. However, there is a universe of tools out there to help professional investors get their ESG data.
ESG Research and analysis is likely to comprise some form of analysis of regulatory filings, and public data, as well as company reports. In addition to these resources, sustainability research firms and ratings agencies such as Sustainalytics are becoming a major force in the market. MSCI compiles its own ESG ratings, and agencies such as Vigeo Eiris are providing in-depth data to professional investors around the world.
In the Netherlands, institutional asset manager APG, a subsidiary of the country's National Civil Pension Fund (the pension fund for government and education employees) recently announced the use of artificial intelligence to identify innovative opportunities for investing in companies that contribute to solving climate change, education and healthcare issues among others.
In Japan, Hiro Mizuno, executive managing director of the country's Government Pension Fund (who is also the world's largest investor), gave a keynote presentation at a conference emphasising the potential of AI and machine learning in mining large amounts of environmental and similar data to make evidence available to investors in real time.
AI-powered analytics could be particularly useful in impact investing, where measurement of impact and relating outcomes to particular goals is crucial. Measuring third party data (as opposed to self-reported), US-based Distilled Analytics says it has the ability to measure the non-financial risks and impacts of particular investments through AI-driven research in addition to human analysis.
Of course, we have barely begun to explore the full potential of artificial intelligence, and many ESG integration processes use a combination of quantitative and qualitative factors – one frequently used approach is to benchmark on quantitative factors and then overlay qualitative or 'subjective' factors – this is often to ensure that the investments reflect the beliefs or values of the investor(s), though this is in no way guaranteed. The parts of the ESG research process that are driven by formulas or ratings, and the extent of subjective judgement applied by analysts will of course vary with every asset manager. While there may be companies that are more or less universally viewed as 'bad actors' in either E, S, or G, for some (such as Tesla, for example) their rating is hotly contested. This means that qualitative judgement is welcome – especially if analysing whether a specific investment has had a particular impact or outcome.

He supports a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution. He is ranked in the top 20 of most conservative member of the House of Representatives.Chairman McCaul recently passed legislation out of the Homeland Security Committee requiring DHS to implement a national strategy to gain operational control of our borders requiring the use of technology to gain situational awareness, and creating metrics to produce verifiable results.
Chairman McCaul has held numerous hearings addressing DHS waste, fraud and abuse; the operational presence of Mexican drug cartels in the United States; the presence of Iran and Hezbollah in the Western Hemisphere; and on how "political correctness" led to the Fort Hood terrorist attack. Congressman McCaul is also a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Prior to Congress, Michael McCaul served as Chief of Counter-Terrorism and National Security in the U.S. Attorney's office in Texas, and led the Joint Terrorism Task Force.

A different heresy: Expanding the horizons of community.
Expanding the horizons of community.
It could be easy to read these words of Jesus to the Jews in the Portico of Solomon in the Temple and read into them exclusion and separation. It would be easy to read these words with a sense of smug self-satisfaction that we have heard the Shepherds voice. It would be easy to read these words as a justification for treating others poorly. It would be easy to read these words as an affirmation of our goodness and to think of others as bad.
Yet as tempting as such readings might be I do not believe they would be either faithful to the context in which Jesus spoke the words or helpful to our own.
Jesus' life is about breaking down barriers and expanding the parameters of the unity that he shares with the Father and, might I say, the Holy Spirit to include others.
To help gain an understanding I want to reflect on a glimpse from three Biblical texts we have heard this morning. First, the context of the question that the Jews ask, "Are you the Messiah?" Second is to consider the claim of Jesus to be the Good Shepherd and the connection that this has to the 23rd Psalm. And thirdly, to examine the trajectory that Jesus is heading towards revealed in the words of vision found in the book of Revelation.
So to the first issue! When the Jews come asking Jesus "are you the Messiah?" we should understand this is as much a political question as it is a spiritual one. The Jewish people were under foreign rule; their King Herod was merely a puppet of the Imperial might of the Roman Empire.
The prophecies surrounding the coming of the Messiah and certainly the expectations that sat alongside these prophecies were tied to the overthrow of foreign rule and re-establishment of the independence of Israel as a Kingdom.
The questioners may have seen Jesus miracles; they might have been challenged by his teaching; but, to actually throw themselves into a relationship of conflict with the might of Rome, that was a completely different matter. Was Jesus the Messiah? Would he restore Israel? Was God's grace and faithfulness to the covenant about to be manifest in their time?
The Jewish people had a pretty clear idea that they were God's chosen ones and this was expressed in the holiness codes and exclusion of various outcastes and gentiles from the community. It was all about insiders and outsiders.
The beginning of John's gospel tells us that Jesus came to what his own and his own people did not accept him. This is being played in this interaction – the drawing of lines: 'who is in?' 'who is out?' For the Jews this was about ethnic identity which was tied to their religious conviction but Jesus challenges this suggesting it is not so much about identity or holiness but relationship: the ones who respond to his voice. The boundary between insiders and outsiders was being challenged.
Jesus' claim at this point to be the Good Shepherd would have sounded blasphemous to those gathered. He was claiming to be God and he was claiming the role of the Shepherd found in Psalm 23. Jesus was not simply the Messiah, God's chosen one he was far more than that.
David sang, 'The Lord is my Shepherd', and now Jesus asserts he is that Shepherd. The Psalm was most likely written when David was at low ebb; it was a source of comfort in a time of distress. In the midst of persecution and challenges God accompanies people even setting them safely at meals where their perceived enemies sit.
In answer to the question that the Jews had asked, Jesus was expanding the horizon of his own identity for them. Jesus was not simply the Messiah, Jesus was the Good Shepherd. He was the Lord. He had authority and responsibilities further than they could perceive which lay even beyond the limits of life and death.
The expansion of the horizons for the Jews culminates in Jesus somewhat outlandish claim "I and the Father are one".
This unity between Father and Son is further elucidated through John's gospel but startlingly the relationship and unity that Jesus shares with God is to be opened out. There are ever expanding boundaries to the unity promised by Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus prayer of John 17 prays that the disciples share, not only a similar bond of unity with one another, but are drawn into the very relationship of Father and Son.
The vision of unity is also extended in other ways to those who sit outside the exclusiveness of the Jewish insiders. Jesus extends words of grace to those who have been ostracised and to those who are not even Jewish. His claim that all people would be drawn into his death, when the some Greeks came seeking him, must have been bamboozling for the crowds.
Just as Jesus was expanding who he was for the Jews who came seeking a political leader so too he was expanding the vision of who could be drawn into the unity of the Father and of the Son.
Rather than establish any sense of exclusivity Jesus is driving home new possibilities of who might be accepted when he makes the claim, "My sheep hear my voice!" The distinction is no longer tied to religious or ethnic affiliation.
Gathered in the final visions of glory at the end of the New Testament the possibility and hope of salvation is for people from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages. God's grace and God's love is forever expanding; it is ever incorporating others into the bond of Father and of Son and of Spirit.
It is my sense that when the Jews asked the question they wanted to limit God's grace, to restore their nation, to reassert the exclusivity of who they were as God's people: to be top of the heap.
such exclusivity and remind us that the relationship of Jesus with others was about new possibilities and new hope for all peoples.
I believe this is a vital message for us to hear in a world in which we already find ourselves divided on so many levels: political, racial, economic, spiritual and social. And in a world which continually encourages us to build select communities.
We are fed hate and hurt as reflected in the violence of the past week – in Boston, in Afghanistan, In Iraq and in every corner of the world where barriers were erected about people excluded: in refugee camps and detention centres; in prisons; in broken relationships; in racial and ethnic and religious tension.
Jesus response challenges our human tendency toward exclusion and opens out the life of God, dwelling always as community, and invites us in. This is the good news not just for a select few but for all peoples and the whole creation as God's love and life expands to encompass all.


Mirra aims to remove the need for coding when creating immersive content.
Immersive entertainment is responsible for some of the most impressive technological advancements of the last couple of years. And while all of these various breakthroughs and advancements seem to be happening more often, that still doesn't make them any easier to achieve. It takes quite a bit of knowledge and skill to develop programs and experiences for VR, AR and MR, making it an intimidating field to anyone even remotely interested in dipping their toes into their digital waters.
That's where Mirra comes in. Available now as an open beta, the 3D design and content creation platform allows anyone, from skilled developers to absolute beginners, to design and build their own personal immersive experiences in the same timespan as it would to whip up a basic powerpoint presentation.
You can upload images, videos, audio, 360° video, 360° pictures and even 3D models to the programs library where they're instantly optimized for the digital environment. It's then just a simple case of dragging and dropping the media to the desired locations around the virtual, augmented or mixed environment and it's ready for publishing in the cloud. From there you can view the experience via your platform of choice, whether that be a HTC Vive, Oculus Rift or a multitude of other options.
What's most exciting about a development tool this easy to use is its potential to attract a whole new market previously intimidated by the complexity of the still-emerging technology.
From a history teacher looking for a quick way to create an AR dinosaur bone scavenger hunt for his class, a real estate agent attempting to bring their website to life with a VR home gallery, to a marketer blowing away their client with a mixed reality promotional campaign of their product. All of these experiences would normally involve lengthy and expensive content development processes. Now, thanks to Mirra, these same individuals are capable of designing content themselves, all without having to write a single line of code.
"We think that people will use Mirra for a wide array of purposes: presentations, product tours, sales tools, training, portfolios, location tours, brand marketing experiences, promotional experiences, educational content, galleries, immersive experience prototyping, and more," added Farnham.
You can head over to Mirra right now to check out the beta and get started developing your own immersive project straight from your browser.

Home Articles in English Targeted academic boycott of Turkish higher education system
Targeted academic boycott of Turkish higher education system
In January 2016, 2,212 academics signed a declaration calling on the Turkish government to end the war in the Kurdish region and allow international observers to monitor the situation in Kurdish towns and cities destroyed by security forces. Since then the Academics for Peace have been subjected to vindictive and punitive attacks ordered by the president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. An evidence-based but by no means exhaustive list of violations includes the following: – University Rectors encourage staff and students to spy on and incriminate academics suspected of a critical stance towards the government; – The Higher Education Council (YÖK) and the University Rectors work with the National Intelligence Agency and the police to draw lists of academics to be dismissed; – The government-controlled Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) has: (a) terminated existing grants to and rejected funding applications by Academics for Peace; (b) terminated the scholarships to PhD students who signed the Academics for Peace declaration while researching in universities outside Turkey. Therefore, we call on all institutions of higher education, funding councils, academic and professional associations, and individual faculty members to boycott the Turkish higher education system: – Declare a moratorium on ALL future collaborations with the Higher Education Council (YÖK) and the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK); – Declare a moratorium on ALL future collaborations with rectors of the complicit universities; – Suspend the membership of all YÖK and TÜBİTAK officials and of all complicit university rectors in professional, business and educational associations; – …
Segnaliamo un documento concernente le recenti vicende che hanno coinvolto gli accademici turchi. Si può aderire alla petizione a questo indirizzo: https://academicboycottofturkey.wordpress.com/
In January 2016, 2,212 academics working in or researching on Turkey signed a declaration calling on the Turkish government to end the war in the Kurdish region, seek a peaceful resolution of the decades-long Kurdish question, and allow international observers to monitor the situation in Kurdish towns and cities destroyed by security forces. Since then, the signatories, who came to be known as Academics for Peace, have been subjected to vindictive and punitive attacks ordered by the president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and implemented through joint effort by the government and the higher education establishment.
The Academics for Peace have been accused with treason for calling on the Turkish government to end violence against its own citizens. Under instructions from the president, the government, the security establishment, the Higher Education Council and the university rectors have all joined forces to exact 'a heavy price' on Academics for Peace. The lynching campaign is still ongoing and has so far led to multiple waves of criminal and administrative investigations, detentions, dismissals, passport revocations and travel bans, denial of pension rights, and exclusion from the labour market through blacklisting of national insurance numbers.
Following the botched coup of July 2016 and the state of emergency in its wake, under the pretext of purging the loyalists of Fethullah Gülen movement, an ex-partner of the AKP regime that had also been complicit in the violations of academic freedoms and standards in Turkey, politically motivated attacks on academia and the whole public service sector in Turkey reached an unprecedented scale. As of 30 April 2017, academic dismissals reached a staggering level at 5,295. This state of affairs demonstrates that the Turkish higher education system is used by the government and its political allies as a locus of patronage exchange and score settlement, disguised under the veil of academic endeavour.
Violations of international standards on higher education
The lynching campaign against Academics for Peace is in serious violation of the international standards of autonomy, academic freedom and doctrine-free knowledge production in higher education. An evidence-based but by no means exhaustive list of violations includes the following:
University Rectors encourage staff and students to spy on and incriminate academics suspected of a critical stance towards the government, particularly the signatories of the Academic for Peace declaration;
A young academic, Dr Mehmet Fatih Traş, committed suicide after his contract at Çukurova University was terminated and his job applications to several universities were turned down on the grounds that he is a security risk;
Graffiti on academic staff office doors, hate speech and criminal threats against critical academics have become wide-spread practices used and tolerated on- and off-campus;
Students supporting dismissed lecturers are persecuted and dismissed;
The Higher Education Council (YÖK) and the University Rectors work with, and upon instructions from, the National Intelligence Agency and the police to draw lists of academics to be dismissed;
Lists of dismissals are approved by the government and the President; and implemented via state of emergency decrees without the right for appeal;
The government-controlled publisher of academic journals (the National Academic Network and Information Centre – ULAKBIM) has instructed journal editors to remove Academics for Peace signatories from editorial and reviewer boards;
Conference organisers are excluding dismissed Academics for Peace from conferences, seminars and workshops under threats from and/or in collaboration with the government and higher education bodies;
The government-controlled Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) has: (a) terminated existing grants to and rejected funding applications by Academics for Peace; (b) terminated the scholarships to PhD students who signed the Academics for Peace declaration while researching in universities outside Turkey; (c) forced funded PhD students to submit statements on their research with a view to ensure that their research does not harm national interests; (d) forced Academics for Peace signatories to withdraw their names from published or under-review work that it had funded in the past; and (e) stopped printing books on the theory of evolution and has increased support for shady 'research' projects that champion creationism.
Targeted academic boycott
Therefore, we call on all institutions of higher education, funding councils, academic and professional associations, and individual faculty members to boycott the Turkish higher education system. The aim of the academic boycott is ensuring that all dismissals are revoked and the persecution of academics, exacerbated under the state of emergency regime, is ended. The boycott is targeted against complicit universities and higher education institutions as follows:
Declare a moratorium on ALL future collaborations with the Higher Education Council (YÖK) and the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK), who violated the right for academic freedom and betrayed the international norms on higher education;
Declare a moratorium on ALL future collaborations with rectors of the complicit universities, who not only violated the right for academic freedom and betrayed the international norms on higher education, but also acted like an extended arm of the intelligence agencies in their universities;
Suspend the membership of all YÖK and TÜBİTAK officials and of all complicit university rectors in professional, business and educational associations;
Declare a moratorium on ALL future research collaborations with ANY complicit university;
Declare a moratorium on ATTENDING ANY future academic or professional conference/workshop/seminar sponsored and/or co-organised by or held at YÖK, TÜBİTAK or any of the complicit universities in Turkey and elsewhere;
Declare a moratorium on HOLDING or ORGANISING ANY future academic or professional conference/workshop/seminar at any of the complicit universities in Turkey.
This targeted boycott call excludes: (a) arrangements/agreements designed to help/facilitate student exchange; and (b) requests from individual academics in Turkey for visiting fellowships or similar engagements with universities outside Turkey.

A Complete Review of the Jeep Cherokee
January 5th, 2022	by Dawn McQueeney
Discover everything you need to know about the 2017–2021 models
If you're in the market for an SUV, you've probably come across the popular Jeep Cherokee. The Jeep brand has a loyal following and is well known for vehicles that provide excellent off-roading and towing capabilities. The Cherokee is a small crossover SUV that's slightly larger than the Jeep Compass but smaller than the Grand Cherokee, which is considered a midsize SUV. Whether you're knee-deep in research or just curious about the pros and cons of a Jeep Cherokee, read on to discover everything you need to know about this SUV.

Excellent off-road and towing capabilities

The Jeep Cherokee has seating for up to five passengers. Our inventory of Jeep Cherokee models has a variety of interior features, including:
Android Auto capabilities
Satellite radio ready
Some of the newer models feature a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, and dual-zone automatic temperature control with cloth or leather trim. The exact interior features of your Jeep Cherokee will depend on the model year and trim level. But if you're looking for something in particular, we can help!
One of the consistent cons about the Jeep Cherokee is the below-average fuel economy; the 2021 model sees an estimated 24 miles per gallon (mpg) combined.
According to U.S. News & World Report, the 2021 Jeep Cherokee has "excellent off-road capabilities while also providing a comfortable ride on the road." This can be different depending on what trim level you purchase. But reviews are mixed on the engine options, and the transmission has been called "sluggish."
According to J.D. Power, The 2021 Jeep Cherokee was redesigned with significantly enhanced safety features. Standard features now include blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic warning, full-speed forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.
U.S. News & World report has provided the following safety ratings:
2021 Cherokee – 9.5/10
2019 Cherokee – 9.2/10
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gives many of the Jeep Cherokee models a 4/5 overall rating. (You can see the complete ratings for every make and model here.) Also, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awarded the 2019 Jeep Cherokee a Top Safety Pick.
Here is a list of safety features you may find in a Jeep Cherokee. Some come standard, depending on the model year and trim:
Blind spot monitoring and rear cross path detection
Full-speed forward collision warning with active braking
LaneSense® lane departure warning with lane keep assist
Electronic stability controls
Reinforced with a high-strength steel frame to maximize crash protection
ParkSense® rear park assist with stop
ParkView® rear backup camera
Parallel and perpendicular park assist with full stop
Adaptative cruise control
Rain-sensing windshield wipers
Here is how the Jeep Cherokee stacks up against other SUVs:
#7 in Best Compact SUV of 2021 by J.D. Power
By U.S. News & World Report:
#12 in Compact SUVs
#44 in Best Crossover SUVs for 2021 & 2022
#31 in Best SUVs with 2 Rows for 2021 & 2022
#9 in Best 2020 Affordable Compact SUVs
#16 in 2020 Affordable SUVs with 2 Rows
#17 in 2020 Affordable Crossover SUVs
#35 in Used Compact SUVs $20K and up
#56 in Used Crossover SUVs #25K and up
#65 in Used SUVs with 2 Rows $20K and up
#12 in 2019 Affordable Compact SUVs
#78 in Used Crossover SUVs $20K to $25K
#112 in Used SUVs with 2 Rows $20K and up
Which Jeep Cherokee model year is right for you? Let's take a look at each one:
Certain safety features became standard in 2021, including automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keeping assist, according to Car and Driver. Jeep offers nine different trims of the 2021 Cherokee ranging from an MSRP of $28,135 to $38,210 (including the debut of two new models — the 80th anniversary edition and the Latitude Lux — and the removal of the Overland trim):
Latitude Lux
80th Anniversary Edition
The purchase of any new 2021 Jeep Cherokee comes with automatic enrollment into the Jeep Wave® loyalty program.
There were no major changes to the 2020 models. Expect above-average off-roading and towing capabilities, a roomy cabin, and easy-to-use technology features. The cargo space continues to be limited with sub-par fuel economy.
The 2019 Jeep Cherokee has excellent off-roading capabilities but falls short when compared with other SUVs in its class, according to U.S. News & World Report. It has roomy seating and user-friendly technology, but a small cargo hold, lackluster fuel economy, and sub-par safety ratings. The 2019 model features an enhanced exterior design and several infotainment features — a 7" touchscreen and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capabilities.
This year, the rearview camera became standard, and some of the Cherokee's trim levels were modified. According to U.S. News & World Report, some of the highlights of the 2018 models include: a spacious cabin, user-friendly infotainment system, smooth ride, and a V6 engine with hefty towing capabilities. Negatives include poor fuel economy, low reliability ratings and safety marks, and less cargo space than similar SUVs in its class.
The 2017 Jeep Cherokee offers user-friendly tech features and excellent off-road capabilities with the Trailhawk trim, according to U.S. News & World Report. But again, the Jeep Cherokee doesn't score high marks in terms of reliability and fuel economy.
The Jeep Cherokee has proven itself to be a quality vehicle in many categories. Looking at the reviews, it has its pros and cons, but with the Jeep name and a quality 4WD system, the Cherokee is a great vehicle for anything from snow-covered roads to summer road trips. The Jeep Cherokee has a roomy cabin, comfy seats, and an intuitive infotainment system. Though it has slightly less cargo space than similar vehicles, it's a great off-roading choice.
If you are looking for a vehicle with a strong 4WD system that feels planted to the road no matter the conditions, the Jeep Cherokee is a great buy. It is cost effective and provides a plethora of features to keep the driver and passengers comfortable.
It depends on a variety of factors, including the year, mileage, and overall condition of the vehicle. A new 2021 Jeep Cherokee starts around $28,000, but pre-owned models are available for thousands of dollars less than the base price. The exact price will depend on the model year and mileage.
There are many factors that will affect the price of your Jeep Cherokee insurance. It's important to remember that estimates will very, so it's best to research multiple insurance companies (or contact an insurance broker) to find the best price. Here is a list of the most common factors that will affect what you pay for insurance:
Driver's age, gender, and marital status
Car make, model, and year
Where the vehicle is regularly parked
Vehicle's safety features
Type of insurance coverage
Deductible amount
Since rates will vary, it's hard to pinpoint an exact number, but here are some estimates that will give you a good idea of what to expect with Jeep Cherokee insurance:
$131/month or $1,572/year (The Zebra)
$142/month or $1,708/year (Insuraviz)
Average cost of $1,512/year (SmartFinancial)
SmartFinancial also lists a complete breakdown of insurance estimates by model year and age group. For example, a 20–29-year-old will pay about $151/month to insure a 2021 Jeep Cherokee, whereas someone who is 60+ will pay about $124/month to insure the same vehicle.
Also, don't forget — popular auto discounts may provide additional savings. These include:
Accident-free
Vehicle safety features
Anti-theft features
Pay policy in full
Alumni associations
Professional memberships/organizations
The Jeep Cherokee falls in the middle to low end of the pack when it comes to small crossover SUVs. The Hyundai Tucson, Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-5, Kia Sportage, Ford Bronco Sport, and Toyota RAV4 typically rank ahead of the Jeep Cherokee due to better fuel economy, more cargo room, and a balanced performance.

Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement signed in Auckland; UN independent expert calls on states to safeguard regulatory space
On February 4, 2016, trade ministers from twelve Pacific Rim nations met in Auckland, New Zealand, to sign the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement.
On the eve of the meeting, UN Independent Expert on the promotion of a democratic and equitable international order, Alfred de Zayas, called on governments to issue an interpretative declaration on TPP, reaffirming their commitments to human rights obligations and to the Sustainable Development Goals.
In his statement of February 2, 2016, Zayas indicated that the TPP "is fundamentally flawed and should not be signed or ratified unless provision is made to guarantee the regulatory space of States." He recalled that the agreement resulted from "secret negotiations without multi-stakeholder democratic consultation," and would be signed despite "enormous opposition by civil society worldwide." The expert said that the agreement's compatibility with international law should be challenged before the International Court of Justice.
In a report published in August 2015, Zayas had recommended abolishing the existing investor–state dispute settlement (ISDS) system.
Ecuador's audit on investment treaties: CAITISA reports leaked
Three reports by CAITISA, Ecuador's citizen audit commission on bilateral investment treaties (BITs), were leaked by online newspaper Diagonal on January 24, 2016. CAITISA, formed by experts in foreign investment and international law, was created in 2013 by President Rafael Correa to examine the legitimacy and legality of Ecuador's BITs and the impact of their application. The commission concluded its work in December 2015.
In the report on Final Recommendations, CAITISA recommends that Ecuador denounce its BITs and negotiate new instruments, whether specific contracts with foreign investors or investment treaties. These new instruments should not include any of the old-style exception protection clauses except for clauses on direct expropriation. In addition, they should include state rights and investor obligations.
In its observations on international investment arbitration, CAITISA recommends excluding the clause on investor–state dispute settlement (ISDS) from existing and future BITs, and prioritizing adjudication by domestic courts. It also advances proposals for a transition period, which include: prohibiting compound interest in damages awards, providing for exhaustion of local remedies, enhancing transparency in proceedings, limiting arbitrator fees, issuing interpretive statements, creating an appellate mechanism, and establishing a permanent international or regional investment court, with permanent judges.
Standing tribunal included in European Union–Vietnam FTA
On December 2, 2015, the European Union and Vietnam signed a free trade agreement (FTA), closing three years of negotiations. The text, made public on February 1, 2016, includes the more traditional trade issues, including SPS and TBT, and trade facilitation, but also extends to other issues such as government procurement, competition policy, intellectual property, cooperation and capacity building, state-owned enterprises, and transparency. Like other recent EU treaties, it also contains a chapter on sustainable development covering both labour and environmental issues.
The investment chapter adopts the European Union's emerging approach to investment protection. It also includes a new type of investor-state dispute settlement mechanism, consisting of a standing nine-member tribunal to hear cases at first instance and a permanent six-member appeal tribunal.
Germany's judges and public prosecutors reject proposed investment court system in TTIP
In a statement issued in early February 2016, the German Association of Judges (known by its German acronym, DRB) firmly rejected the proposal published by the European Commission on September 16, 2015 to establish an Investment Court System (ICS) under the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the European Union and the United States.
The DRB saw no need for the proposed ICS, as existing judicial systems in EU member states guarantee access to justice and grant effective protection to foreign investors. It argued that, even if that were not the case, the issue should be addressed by national parliaments. For the DRB, creating special courts is not the proper way to guarantee legal certainty.
The statement also questioned whether the European Union has the legislative competence to create an investment court. It pointed out that the proposed court would limit legislative powers and alter the existing court system, both in the European Union and in member states.
Finally, the statement criticized the proposed procedure and criteria for appointing ICS judges, which would not meet the international requirements for technical and financial independence. According to the DRB, the pool of judges would tend to be limited to persons already involved in international investment arbitration, and ICS would emerge as a permanent arbitration facility rather than as an international court.
The DRB, founded in 1909, is Germany's largest professional organization of judges and public prosecutors. The official text of DRB Opinion No. 04/16 is available in German only.
Commission attempts to reopen CETA negotiations with Canada to revisit ISDS
EU officials are said to have requested the new Canadian federal government to revisit the ISDS clause in the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), according to reports by CBC News on January 21, 2016. CETA negotiations were announced as concluded in August 2014. The CETA provides for a more traditional-style ISDS mechanism, which is not in line with the European Union's new approach on a more permanent investor–state mechanism. As it currently stands, the text is seen as unlikely to be approved by the European Parliament.
UNASUR Arbitration Centre one step closer to being established
On January 19, 2016, experts from the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) met in Montevideo, Uruguay, to finalize agreements regarding the proposed regional centre for the settlement of investment disputes. UNASUR is a regional intergovernmental organization of the 12 South American nations: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
The text establishing the dispute settlement centre, not yet public, was negotiated by foreign ministers, general attorneys, and finance ministers in the region, in consultation with central banks. Once approved by the 12 states, the proposed centre could emerge as a regional alternative to the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID).
TransCanada initiates NAFTA arbitration against the United States over rejection of Keystone XL pipeline*
On January 6, 2016, TransCanada initiated arbitration against the United States for "unreasonably delaying approval" of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline and ultimately denying, in November 2015, the company's application for the required Presidential Permit. Alleging the United States breached its non-discrimination, expropriation, and fair and equitable treatment commitments under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Canadian company seeks damages of over US$15 billion.
The Keystone XL pipeline, which would carry crude oil from the Canadian province of Alberta to U.S. ports in the Gulf of Mexico, became a contentious political issue in the United States. Environmentalists pointed to the carbon-intensity of extracting oil from the Alberta tar sands, and argued that the pipeline would run counter to the country's efforts to reduce fossil fuel reliance. Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers and several U.S. states supported the project.
In its Notice of Intent, TransCanada highlighted that the application review lasted significantly longer than the average for such a pipeline. The Obama Administration admitted the review lasted longer because the pipeline became politicized. In a statement after rejecting the application on November 6, 2015, President Obama explained: "America is now a global leader when it comes to taking serious action to fight climate change. And frankly, approving this project would have undercut that global leadership."
On the same day it initiated arbitration, TransCanada also filed suit against U.S. federal authorities in a U.S. court, claiming Obama's rejection of the application exceeded the president's constitutional powers and lacked authorization by Congress. This U.S. court case is in addition and parallel to the NAFTA case, which is expected to take several years to resolve. The United States has never lost a challenge under NAFTA's investment chapter to date.

Philip Morris fails in PCA arbitration against Australia over plain packaging laws
On December 17, 2015, a tribunal at the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) issued its jurisdictional award in the case of tobacco giant Philip Morris against Australia over the country's tobacco plain packaging legislation. According to the PCA website, the award will be made available to the public once any confidential information has been redacted. Philip Morris admitted in a news release that the tribunal dismissed jurisdiction over the case. Accordingly, the tribunal did not rule on the merits.
Australian Senator Peter Whish-Wilson welcomed the result as a victory, commending plain packaging as an effective public policy tool. However, he cautioned that Australia is not free from similar challenges by foreign corporations under ISDS mechanisms contained in its trade and investment agreements with China, Korea, and the United States. "ISDS is the Damocles Sword hanging over Australia's sovereignty and our right to legislate in the public interest," he said. The Senator also indicated that the successful defence against Philip Morris reportedly cost Australian taxpayers US$35 million.
European Commission gives in to pressures for increased transparency of TTIP texts
All 751 Members of the European Parliament (MEP) will have comprehensive access to all confidential documents relating to TTIP negotiations. The Parliament announced the agreement with the European Commission on December 2, 2015, after 11 months of negotiations. Under the operational arrangements, MEPs will be able to read the restricted "consolidated texts"—which reflect EU and U.S. compromises—in a secure reading room at the European Parliament, as well as take handwritten notes.
On December 4, EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmström announced that reading rooms would be established in the capitals of all 28 EU Member States to allow national members of Parliament (MPs) to analyze the consolidated texts. The announcement was made as the Commissioner spoke to the President of the German Bundestag, Norbert Lammert, addressing the requests he had made in 2015 for access to the documents by German MPs.
A week before the two announcements, The Guardian had obtained documents allegedly revealing that the Commission had given U.S. oil company ExxonMobil access to confidential EU strategies in TTIP negotiations. The Commission denied the allegations.

The support of ophthalmic research has come a long way in the past 10 years. Sources have been governmental agencies, especially the National Institutes of Health and the Atomic Energy Commission, and such private foundations as the National Council to Combat Blindness, the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness, the Knights Templars, the Ophthalmological Foundation, various Lions Clubs, as well as a host of individual donors.
The most recent addition to this list is Research to Prevent Blindness, Inc. This new source of as yet unspecified amounts has several unusual features, not the least of which is its chairman, variously addressed as Mr. or Dr. Jules C. Stein. As Mr. Stein, he is president and founder of the well-known Music Corporation of America. His benefactions have centered in theatrical circles but have had such wide sweeps as the operation of canteens in World War II. As Dr. Stein, he

Q: How to apply bluebird promises to my existing javascript traversal and recursive based logic? I am curious to know how can I make use of bluebird promises in my existing javascript code that makes use of lots of callback based mechanism. Here is the scenario:
In my web application on page load using jQuery, I will get page's main menu links and generate a TreeModel structure from them which I will use later on to show a Breadcrumb on page top.
The function I am using for generating this TreeModel is following:
function _traverseNodeChildren(selector, parentNode, callback1, callback2) {

    $(parentNode.model.element).find(selector).each(function(idx, elm) {

        // Create a Tree Node using TreeModel
        let node = _createTreeNode.apply(this.comp, [elm]);
        this.parentNode.addChild(node);

        let hasChildren = $(elm).find("+ul.dropdown-menu").length > 0;
        if (hasChildren == true)
            _traverseNodeChildren.apply(this.comp, ["+ul.dropdown-menu > li > a", node, callback1, callback2]);

        if (node.model.id == "aboutLink") // last node
        {
            setTimeout(() => {
                callback1.apply(this.comp, [callback2]);
            }, 100);
        }
    }.bind({parentNode: parentNode, comp: this}));
}

After above traversal completes, I want to call myServerCall function that will involve an async Ajax request and post to completion of this async request, finally I want to call a third function myFinalFunc.
At present I am using following code to make this traversal code execute:
const TreeModel = require('tree-model');
const _treeModel = new TreeModel();

let _bcRoot = _treeModel.parse({
    id: "0",
    href: null,
    text: "",
    element: $(".main-menu").get(0)
});

_traverseNodeChildren.apply(this, ["> li > a[data-bc-id]",
            _bcRoot, myServerCall, myFinalFunc]);

But I would like it to be converted to bluebird promise based approach to get more control over it.
Following is the code that I want like it to be in the end:
_traverseNodeChildren.apply(this, ["> li > a[data-bc-id]", _bcRoot])
    .then(function() {
        return myServerCall();
    })
    .then(function() {
        return myFinalFunc();
    })
    .catch(function(error) {

    });

How can I do this using bluebird?

A: I'll start with simplifying your callback code to
function traverseNodeChildren(comp, selector, parentNode, callback) {
    $(parentNode.model.element).find(selector).each(function(_, elm) {
        // Create a Tree Node using TreeModel
        let node = createTreeNode(comp, elm);
        parentNode.addChild(node);

        let hasChildren = $(elm).find("+ul.dropdown-menu").length > 0;
        if (hasChildren)
            _traverseNodeChildren(comp, "+ul.dropdown-menu > li > a", node, callback);

        if (node.model.id == "aboutLink")
            setTimeout(function() {
                callback(comp);
            }, 100);
        }
    });
}

traverseNodeChildren(this, "> li > a[data-bc-id]", _bcRoot, function(comp) {
     myServerCall.call(comp, myFinalFunc)
});

However, given that callback is potentially called multiple times (when there are multiple aboutLinks), you cannot really convert this to promises. Unless you want it to behave differently.
If there is only one aboutLink, you don't need the asynchrony and callbacks at all in your traversal function. Just do
function traverseNodeChildren(comp, selector, parentNode) {
    $(parentNode.model.element).find(selector).each(function(_, elm) {
        // Create a Tree Node using TreeModel
        let node = createTreeNode(comp, elm);
        parentNode.addChild(node);

        let hasChildren = $(elm).find("+ul.dropdown-menu").length > 0;
        if (hasChildren)
            _traverseNodeChildren(comp, "+ul.dropdown-menu > li > a", node);
    });
}

traverseNodeChildren(this, "> li > a[data-bc-id]", _bcRoot);
setTimeout(function() {
     myServerCall(myFinalFunc)
}, 100);

which you now easily can convert to bluebird without even touching traverseNodeChildren:
traverseNodeChildren(this, "> li > a[data-bc-id]", _bcRoot);
Promise.delay(100)
.then(myServerCall)
.then(myFinalFunc)
.catch(function(err) { … });

If you want some kind of delayed traversal that waits on every node, you can use
function traverseNodeChildren(comp, selector, parentNode) {
    return Promise.mapSeries($(parentNode.model.element).find(selector), function(elm) {
        // Create a Tree Node using TreeModel
        let node = createTreeNode(comp, elm);
        parentNode.addChild(node);

        let hasChildren = $(elm).find("+ul.dropdown-menu").length > 0;
        if (hasChildren)
            return _traverseNodeChildren(comp, "+ul.dropdown-menu > li > a", node);
        else
            return Promise.delay(100);
    });
}

traverseNodeChildren(this, "> li > a[data-bc-id]", _bcRoot)
.then(myServerCall)
.then(myFinalFunc)
.catch(function(err) { … });
