The Pure Joy of Harry Styles Got Me Through 2020
By Michelle Ruiz
Photographed by Tyler Mitchell, Vogue, December 2020
Some people turned to controlled substances, tie-dye matching sets, or the ubiquitous sourdough. But it was Harry Styles in a Gucci chick-egg sweater, crooning about oral pleasure on NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts series, that got me through some of the gloomiest days of 2020.
Shot in pre-pandemic February, the dreamy acoustic set, including riffs on the smash singles "Watermelon Sugar" and "Adore You," is a 16-minute serotonin rush: Styles, in his gravelly tenor, singing that he'd walk through fire for you; Styles, with his perfect, princely hair and rugged stubble, dancing on a swiveling office chair. It's unbearably charming, sensual, and fundamentally joyful; the 26-year-old Brit feels like a burst of confetti in a relentlessly terrible year.
Styles's sophomore solo album, Fine Line, was released at the tail end of 2019, but it fully bloomed in 2020. "Watermelon Sugar," his first number one solo single in the U.S., was the undisputed earworm of summer; "Adore You" was the second most-listened-to song of the year, according to Variety, which named Styles hitmaker of the year. It's no coincidence that Fine Line was streamed more than one billion times in the throes of a global, deadly pandemic: "It's an album full of uptempo, unabashedly fun bops," beauty writer Tia Williams, author of the forthcoming novel Seven Days in June and an avowed Styles fan, told Vogue. "'Watermelon Sugar,' 'Adore You,' and 'Sunflower' are like rays of light beaming on Laurel Canyon."
Styles's shiny, happy, summer-of-love aura provided a desperately needed antidote to 2020. The "Watermelon Sugar" video, dropped in May, was "dedicated to touching," a colorful, quasi orgy on the beach that both made me long for the innocence of the Before Times and felt—for three minutes, anyway—like an escape from the horrors of the news cycle.
Although "2020 has been such a terrifying year," Williams said, the cheeky world of "Watermelon Sugar" "can't help but take you away from our grim reality." Tyler McCall, editor in chief of Fashionista.com, has been "listening to Fine Line on repeat just to get through the year," she told me. "I think it's impossible to be in a bad mood when you're listening to 'Golden.'" (It must be noted too that the album's suite of breakup songs, like "Cherry," spoke to the forlorn, aching nature of the pandemic.)
McCall and Williams both took a shine to Styles during the One Direction era, with Williams citing his "ethereal beauty, tats, and '70s-rock-style songs." I made the grave mistake of overlooking Styles in his 1D infancy, shrugging him off as just another basic, beanie-clad boy-band member. But I learned this year that he's a sex god like Jagger, a showman like Elton, and a boundary pusher in the grand tradition of Bowie, with his own personal ethos of inclusivity and sweetness. The 11th track on Fine Line—the retro-groovy "Treat People With Kindness"—is also a Styles mantra, splashed on official merch and backed up by vocal support of the LGBTQ+ community, a pledge to back Black Lives Matter, the legendary act of feeding a fan's fish after taking temporary shelter when his car broke down in October, and not speaking ill of his exes, even on Howard Stern. "I just don't think you need to be a dick to be a good artist," Styles told The Guardian last year.
"He makes niceness chic," Williams said, choosing an "un-edgy, totally earnest mantra" despite his rock-star bona fides. "Harry Styles is the heart-eyes emoji sprung to life." (At first, Williams says she felt peculiar fangirling a former boy-bander as a 40-something Black mom. "I wondered if I was having a midlife crisis," she told me, "but then I was introduced to actress/producer/novelist Robinne Lee, whose brilliant novel The Idea of You, was inspired by him and who is herself a 40-something Black mom, and I was like, Yes, I've found my people.")
Styles's beautiful soul is just one reason why I stand by my own budding fandom, even as I'm mocked by certain family members and even my six-year-old daughter for requesting T-shirts from his official store as my only Christmas gift or vaulting myself down the Harry YouTube rabbit hole. (Please seek out his duet with Lizzo on "Juice" at her Miami show at the Fillmore back in January, another world ago.) But it's not just that he reads Alain de Botton, writes his own music, wears insane sweaters, and has a cosmic connection with Stevie Nicks. Styles also strikes me as a man uniquely suited to the moment.
In an era of grotesque, Trump-fueled toxic masculinity, the sexiest thing about Styles is that he's comfortable in his femininity. What began with his sheer blouse and single drop earring at the 2019 Met Gala flourished in 2020 with a spate of traditionally femme fashion, including fishnets, a signature pearl necklace, and a Gucci dress on the cover of Vogue as the first solo male to ever appear there.
Tyler Mitchell's Vogue shoot "felt significant because it's still so rare to see male celebrities challenge conventional ideals of masculinity," Liz Plank, author of For the Love of Men, told Vogue. "We still live in a culture that encourages us to protect girls from gendered expectations and stereotypes, but that gets very uncomfortable when we suggest doing the same for boys."
The way Styles dresses and the fact that he paints his nails and wears stacked heels beneath his sailor pants continually prompts speculation about sexuality, and I can't help but notice that this doesn't trigger him or elicit passionate defenses or assertions that he is not gay. When The Guardian asked if he'd ever been asked if he is bisexual, Styles replied, "It's just: Who cares?" He denies he's "sprinkling in nuggets of sexual ambiguity to try and be more interesting," as he puts it. "I want things to look a certain way. Not because it makes me look gay or it makes me look straight or it makes me look bisexual but because I think it looks cool... I just think sexuality's something that's fun."
Styles's splendor-in-the-grass moment in Vogue sparked a now infamous backlash from conservative talking head Candace Owens, who whined: "Bring back manly men." That reaction "is proof that women can be just as sexist and drunk on the patriarchal Kool-Aid as men," Plank said, adding that the right wing is creating a "moral masculinity panic—this idea that men are under attack by feminism." Plank credits Styles but also notes that "there's a courageous pack of masculinity-bending, often LGBTQ or gender-nonbinary men who have been rocking these same looks for decades getting punished for it rather than celebrated for it."
Styles has become a fashion influencer for folks across the gender spectrum, including McCall, who now feels inspired to wear her grandmother's pearls "without seeming prim and uptight." Ryan Kazmarek, a Harry devotee and stylist at IGK SoHo in New York, is still mourning the fact that coronavirus thwarted his plan to fly to Styles's now postponed shows in Manchester, United Kingdom, with his boyfriend, William. Styles's fearlessness "has opened my eyes," Kazmarek told me. "I have recently been like, Okay, I'm going to check the women's section."
For his next act, Styles, who had a small but memorable role as a British soldier in Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk, will star in Olivia Wilde's forthcoming psychological-horror film, Don't Worry Darling. The photos of a dapper, suited Styles on the set has already overwhelmed Harries. "I don't even like horror movies—they literally give me nightmares—and still I am mentally handing my money over to Olivia Wilde," McCall said.
The year 2020 may (finally) be on its way out, but the pure joy of stanning Styles, music and fashion's Renaissance man, will endure for years to come. Playing "Fine Line" for the millionth time, the following "Treat People with Kindness" lyrics recently stuck out, seeming to sum up Styles and the spirit he brought to this bleak year: "Feeling good in my skin / I just keep on dancin' / And if we're here long enough / We'll see it's all for us."

All around the globe, the marketplace worth of homes on the marketplace have dropped permitting for acquiring properties for 30 to 40 percent of present market place value. This means that you cannot insert wildcard characters in the middle of a home worth such as Wton or at the beginning of a property value such as ington. I met a man in San Fran, who lived in a really good location of Vegas, he bought his house for $650000 about six years ago and lately the 1 opposite, precisely the exact same construct, went on the market place for $160000. Numerous of the Gujarat property search tools are cost-free to use and will permit you to input all of your specifications and see all of the results that match your specifications.
It is extremely basic to get a property listed on a Gujarat property search tool and many times it proves to be a very effective way to sell any property. Wildcard searches incorporate characters, such as ", which enables the search engine to substitute any number of characters and ?", which permits the search engine to substitute any single character. So if you are familiar with New York apartments, if you've visited an individual in the city or just have observed NYC apartments on Television, envision then nicest 1 you have ever noticed. You may extend the script for you requirements and configure other settings for every house.
Good, simply because if I bought in Florida I would use the property myself, to escape the British winter for three months per year, and I never drive (wife does, but she would not be in a position to do any more than one month a year). You should stay away from making use of the auto-generated managed house and produce your personal with the correct information kind and map it to the crawled house named just with ows_", in this case ows_salesdate. Enables a single or far more custom entity extractors to be associated with this managed home. Enables this managed property to be returned for queries executed by anonymous customers.
E.g. if you comply with by the very same instance which I employed in the post talked about above, you can generate new Managed house with name BusinessUnit" and add map to the Crawled house (User profile home) Individuals:BusinessUnit" (you can filter crawled properties by categories). That's the mad factor about America, it is properly 50 nations, California is pricey, just like the UK, Florida is inexpensive, just like Turkey.
I've rented my fair share of private homes in Florida over the years, and I do not even appear at these with out pool access. To fix this dilemma you need to re-order the crawled home mappings of the LastModifiedTime managed house. Early the subsequent morning, we have a voicemail waiting from our new Home Manager. Define an alias for a managed home if you want to use the alias rather of the managed property name in queries and in search benefits. This was not that valuable since the issue it's attempting to resolve is the search bar not operating.


Living in a cold home is not just uncomfortable, it can be quite hazardous too. Making sure your home stays at a temperature of around 18°C can help prevent health problems. That said, there are many reasons that someone may find themselves struggling to keep warm over winter. Whether its paying the bills, broken equipment, complicated heating equipment, poor insulation or property in a poor state of repair or perhaps even a misconception that being cold is good for you.
Portable heaters shouldn't be used for drying clothes.
Check cables are in good condition. If they are frayed or damaged, don't use them.
Switch heaters off if you are going to leave them unattended.
Keep portable heaters one metre away from furniture and other flammable items.
Keeping warm is key during the winter months but we want you to stay safe too. Here are some top safety tips when it comes to alternative ways of heating your home.
Candles should be secured in proper holders, away from materials that can catch fire. Never leave lit candles unattended.
Rooms with gas heaters and fires should be well ventilated. Appliances should be maintained regularly. Consider having a carbon monoxide alarm installed too.
Use fire guards to prevent embers igniting nearby combustibles. Keep the chimney swept regularly and don't sit or stand too close.
Only use heaters that are in good working order and keep them a safe distance from combustible materials.
Wheat Bags – Check the manufacturers instructions and your microwave settings carefully as wheat bags can easily overheat.
The Priority Services Register provides help to vulnerable customers when they need it most. It is a joint register that allows the utility companies to keep track of those who need support so that they can provide services and advice during times of uncertainty.
Alternatively your own utilities service provider may have information on their own website about what support you can get to help you stay safe, warm and well over winter.
You can also download the Government's Keep Warm, Keep Well leaflet here which has some hints on tips and advice on staying safe throughout the winter months.


Earnings season for a large number of publicly traded companies kicked off on Monday.
New data compiled by Goldman Sachs shows a 7.4% average implied move on S&P 500 stocks upon the release of their earnings, with stock prices expected to swing in either direction.
The data shows the highest implied average price moves since the financial crisis, reports CNBC.
Citigroup, the third largest US bank, says its net income year-on-year for the fourth quarter rose to $4.3 billion from a net loss of $18.9 billion during the same period the previous year, driven by a reduction in expenses, lower cost of credit and a declining effective tax rate, according to a company statement on Monday.
The profit translates to $1.64 per diluted share, on revenues of $17.1 billion.
The earnings for the recent quarter include a one-time, non-cash charge of $22.6 billion, or $8.66 per share, recorded in the tax line related to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Reform). It also included a one-time benefit of $94 million, or $0.03 per share.
JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo are scheduled to report their earnings on Tuesday, followed by Goldman Sachs and Bank of America on Wednesday, and Morgan Stanley on Thursday.

Flashpoint: September 2010
Well, it looks like someone was paying close attention. Maybe too close, since I was just trying to make a rhetorical point. Regardless, the northern town of Spectre, Ont., has come up with an innovative way to solve staffing and budget problems in two different but critical municipal departments.
September 20, 2010 By Peter Sells
In a previous Flashpoint column, I wrote the following:
Aside from the tasks we perform, which are inherently unique, there are many support functions that are common to fire and EMS: both train and equip staff; purchase and maintain vehicles; and operate communications and dispatch centres in order to provide emergency and non-emergency service to the public. But the same can be said about the solid waste, water/waste-water, roads or public health departments. How come I don't remember anyone talking about fire-based waste management?
Well, it looks like someone was paying close attention. Maybe too close, since I was just trying to make a rhetorical point. Regardless, the northern town of Spectre, Ont., has come up with an innovative way to solve staffing and budget problems in two different but critical municipal departments. Faced with all of the same pressures as any community, the Spectre town council was considering various cost-cutting measures such as: reduced staffing on fire apparatus (from four to three, always a bad idea); contracting out waste collection; severe water use restrictions and other equally unsavory choices. There had been a hiring freeze in place for five years, which had resulted in some staff reductions in all departments except fire. The strategic plan included attrition until the impact of contracting out waste collection could be minimized. But a fresh perspective on the overall deployment of town staff may make outsourcing unnecessary.
Beginning in October, pending the agreement of the CUPE and IAFF locals, Spectre's waste collection trucks will go on their daily routes staffed only by a driver/operator. Equivalent positions have been identified within the town for the remaining surplus waste management staff. Each collection truck will be followed by an on-duty fire apparatus. The lieutenant and driver will remain in the fire truck as the other two firefighters, dressed in coveralls, will act as the waste collectors, walking behind the collection truck. In the event of an emergency response, the firefighters will quickly strip off their coveralls, don their bunker gear and mount the fire apparatus. Since they will be assisting only with waste collection within their normal response areas, there will be no significant impact on response times.
Once the idea was hatched, some unanticipated benefits were identified. The lieutenant and driver can conduct valuable on-street work – smoke alarm surveys, distribution of public education information, hydrant familiarization, identification of derelict parked vehicles or other access problems. The impact on the non-emergency routine of the fire service will be limited to several hours per day for the day or days of scheduled waste collection within each station's first response areas. With the existing shift schedules and apparatus duty rotation within each station, each firefighter will work collection duty no more than twice a month.
The benefits? Apparatus staffing reductions will not be an issue going forward, likewise for contracting out waste collection. Everyone keeps a paycheque. The public has regular and predictable contact with the firefighters in their neighbourhoods. All that remains is for letters of agreement to be finalized with the locals. With the alternative being membership reductions for both CUPE and IAFF, the measures are expected to pass at special meetings before the October pilot project implementation.
So by this point I am sure that you have formed an opinion about this so-called process innovation. Will this experiment fill Spectre's needs, or will the municipality face a wall of vocal opposition when the matter comes to a vote? There is no argument that this is a cost-cutting measure, but as taxpayers should we not be holding our governments accountable for efficiency? The arguments will focus on whether the benefits of efficiency and sustainability of existing services outweigh the ambitions of over-eager town councilors or auditors who take this model to extremes of union-busting.
OK, now relax. Remember what I said above about a rhetorical point from my previous column? Well, this was a rhetorical exercise. There is no town of Spectre and no plan for fire-based waste management. What I would like you to do right now is analyze your emotional reaction to my ruse.
If you were angry, was it because firefighters were doing work that you consider less important than their traditional duties? Neither service is more or less important than the other. You could no more operate a city without waste management, or water/wastewater, or public health than without fire protection or law enforcement.
If your reaction was one of fear or anxiety, then perhaps you saw the situation as plausible. Would such a plan work in your town? What other services could be jointly delivered in this way?

Visser additionally talks with satisfaction concerning the many firsts she completed as a woman in sports broadcasting, essentially the most notable being the first lady to be enshrine into the Professional Football Corridor of Fame in 2006. Although all of this, she refers again to the talks she had together with her mom. Visser credit her mom with giving her the resolve to pursue a career in a male-dominated industry, with the quote that's the title of the e book serving as one Visser remembers for her whole life.
Research strategies utilized in any multi-disciplinary subject are likely to be various, because the methods of each of the guardian disciplines can doubtlessly be used, and this variety will solely be multiplied when that area encompasses both theoretical and utilized work, and populations starting from shortly after birth to dying. In truth, the vary of methods used by sport and train scientists is even wider than that, since many methods repeatedly used have been imported from further afield. Systematic reviewing has origins in agricultural research of seeds and fertilisers. Cluster analysis was first used by bacteriologists. And the detailed observational procedures used to track player behaviour throughout a recreation or session have been imported from ethologists' studies of animals within the wild (though that generally requires much less of a leap of the imagination!).

The group would win three more Super Bowls in the decade.

Hype: Rs 1 lakh, 10 crore in discounts on LUVs' insurance for next year
India has been witnessing a rapid increase in the number of LUV insurance policies being offered to its citizens.
According to data from insurance company LTV Insurance, over the last five years, there has been a 20 per cent increase in policies being issued to citizens.
In comparison, a decade ago, there were only 3,500 LUV policy holders in India.LTV claims that there is a "massive rise" in the numbers of LVs under the umbrella of LTV's premium insurance, which provides discounted rates to LVs that are bought by individuals.
"The premium policies have increased by about 10 crore from the last year.
We have a lot of policies under LTV, and it is very popular among the LVs.
Many LVs buy the premium policies for themselves, and have not used them before," said Anupama Chahal, partner, LTV."
There are also many LVs, especially those who have not had children, who are purchasing insurance from us," she added.LUVs are among the most popular types of car insurance.
They have a lower rate compared to auto insurance, and offer a lower amount of coverage for an extended period of time.
"This is why we have seen a massive rise in the rates of LV insurance.
The policy holders are happy with these rates.
They are buying LVs on the basis of a cheaper policy, which means the policy holders can get a discount," said Chahale.
In 2015-16, LUV premium rates were Rs 1,500 per year, according to LTV data.
In 2016-17, they were Rs 2,000 per year.
In the past few years, more and more LVs have been getting LTV insurance.
In 2016, more than 3,600 LVs were insured by LTV under the LUV umbrella.
A decade ago only 3.6 lakh were insured.
In 2017-18, the total number of policy holders has increased to 8,400.
"We have a very high demand for LVs in India, and this is the reason why we are seeing such an increase in policy holders.
We see people buying premium policies, and buying LV policies as a cheaper alternative.
LTV has become a very popular brand," said Vibhav Dutta, senior vice-president, Loyalty.
Dutta said that as the market for LV policy holders is expanding, the premium rates have also increased, with premium rates increasing by around 30 per cent over the past five years.
He said that while LTV is popular among LVs because it offers a lower premium rate, it has become the preferred choice of other consumers, too.
"Our customers are not satisfied with premium insurance.
So we have had to increase our policy rates to compensate," said Dutte.

Nonfiction / Biography & Autobiography / Personal Memoirs
What if your parents turned you into a human lab rat on the day you were born? Would that change the story of your life? Would that change who you are?
When Susannah Breslin is a toddler, her parents enroll her in an exclusive laboratory preschool at the University of California, Berkeley, where she becomes one of 128 children who are research subjects in an unprecedented 30-year psychological experiment that predicts who she and her cohort will grow up to be. Decades later, trapped in an abusive marriage to a man with a violent history and battling breast cancer, she starts to wonder how growing up under a microscope shaped the person she became and her life choices. Is she the narrator of the story of her life—or is something else? Already a successful journalist, whose published work has appeared in Forbes, The Atlantic, and Harper's Bazaar, she decides to make her own curious history the subject of her next investigation and embarks on a life-changing journey that will expose the dark secrets hidden behind the renowned longitudinal study of personality development that she grew up believing knew her better than she knew herself.
Fearlessly vulnerable, unflinchingly raw, and lyrically written, this groundbreaking book is a remarkable account of a woman's quest to reclaim her voice and an unblinking expose of why we turn out as we do. Data Baby's story is unlike any other, but its message is universal. Sometimes you have to give up everything you have to become the person you were truly meant to be.

Gear Acquisition Syndrome is an ailment. Is it real? Are there some who suffer with it? If so, can it be cured? What will it take to cure those who agonize over the ailment? Judge for yourself whether or not GAS does exist. Below are the 10 phases of GAS that appear in some who have contracted the malady. Here's to hoping we can assist those in need.
You vow to yourself that if you do purchase that new camera body, lens, flash, filter or gadget, you'll go out in the field every day for the next 365 days regardless of the weather, personal commitments or life interferences. You pledge to be in the field for a year straight, every day. After all, this purchase is the one that will make you stick to your vow.
You go through a spell where you're not happy with your photos. You return from every session hoping to find that winner that pops off the computer screen. But with each subsequent session, you return with the same result. You look at your gear with disdain and blame it for the poor captures. Gear Acquisition Syndrome kicks in and you experience another bout—better buy a new lens or flash so your photos will once again be good.
The years go on and your best friend, who's also a photographer, taps you on your shoulder. Because he's a good buddy, he suggests you're buying too much gear and you never give yourself time to learn how to use what you've already purchased. He suggests you rent a lens, body or flash to first try it out. He thinks he's doing you a favor. In his disbelief, you back away and bellow the word, "Rent?!" You wouldn't be caught dead renting anything. It would be a waste of money because you know you're going to buy it anyhow.
"Now that I own all this photo gear, when will I ever have time to read the manual for each?" you think. You set aside one day a week to attack one at a time, but you find yourself exploring the internet for new gear on that day. You get so lost in your search, the entire day passes, you buy more equipment and another manual gets placed on top of the pile.
Years have passed and you have enlightenment. You admit you show signs of having Gear Acquisition Syndrome, but you're not quite ready to see the psychologist. You've convinced yourself you'll create an interval of time and not allow yourself to make a new purchase for at least a two-month period. But, while you scroll through Facebook, you see a post of that new 18-500mm f/4 super lens, but it's only been three weeks since you purchased the newest flash that was just released. You succumb and pull out the credit card.
You reconcile in your mind that the only way to improve your photography is if you purchase that new camera bag. This way, all your gear will be more neatly organized and you'll be able to find all the other gear you've acquired. Because if you know where everything is, it will help alleviate your GAS.
You Google that new piece of photo equipment and every review is positive. You ignore the negative ones because you want the new [insert gear here] so badly. You shrug off the negatives by justifying that those reviewers aren't experts in the field. You can't believe everything you read on the internet unless it's in your favor and supports your opinion—a common symptom of Gear Acquisition Syndrome.
You finish your Google exploration and head to the internet to find the best price. You want to establish a relationship with the local camera store owner, but because you've purchased tens of thousands of dollars of gear online, the owner doesn't even know your face. You decide this is the time to get to know each other. You walk in, introduce yourself and ask the owner to hand you the new body on the shelf. One click of the shutter brings an instant smile across your face. Knowing that you're going to spend an extra $50 doesn't prevent you from saying "Sold." The sound of that shutter click is music to your ears. You walk out of the store feeling good because your affliction has created a working relationship with your local camera store owner.
You welcome the new piece of gear as if it were a new family member. It's precious and it's going to make a huge difference in the quality of your pictures. But, remember your promise to go out every day for a year when you bought that new [insert gear here]? You never stuck to it and you feel guilty you broke your promise. But, with this piece of equipment, it will be different. You promise, vow, commit and guarantee yourself you'll honor all the above phases.
GAS: Now you know why it's called a syndrome. It's not the camera or lens that takes a great picture. It's the person behind the camera who makes the picture. If you suffer from GAS, take the above to heart and really get to know every photo item in your arsenal. Once you outgrow the capability of each, let yourself upgrade. Until then, try to alleviate your GAS. Think about all the money you'll save so you can now take the gear you own on many more photo trips while you learn to master each.
Excellent (and amusing) essay, Russ. Beautiful photos as always. I love the Cheetah (My favorite wild animal)! And is that a young Springbok?
Some 40+ years ago I got into Photography as a life-long hobby, and luckily, and wisely, chose Outdoor Photographer to nurture my hobby from the beginning and through the years and learned an infinite number of sage tips from the best world-class professional photographers like you.
Photography is not as much about the equipment as it is about what we see and feel with the heart, and the respect we have for the subject.
I, too, love the cheetah. It's sleek and stealthy – quite the big cat.
The antelope is called a Klipspringer. I came across him when I was in the Northern Serengeti.
I TOTALLY agree that it's NOT the gear that makes the photographer. Think about the GREAT images that were made 50 years ago when cameras were "archaic." It is all about how the person behind the camera sees and feels about his/her subjects. I'm glad you found Outdoor and you don't suffer from GAS!!!!
Great article Russ; beautiful photos and valid points set fourth in an amusing way. I am still discovering features on my 3 and 4-year-old cameras I didn't even know about. It pains me to point this out, but your employer and my favorite mag promote GAS each and every month. Just when I think I've got my ailment licked, another issue arrives and I salivate over the newest gear ads and reviews. It's a constant battle, but I've managed to control my urges [most] of the time! Your articles about technique help a lot.
Thanks Jim- much appreciated. My motto: MASTER what you buy and once you outgrow it, then upgrade. It's not always the gear that gets the image.

Women's Basketball falls short to MMCC, 64-62

The Grand Rapids Community College Women's basketball team was defeated at home, 64-62, by the Mid-Michigan Community College Lakers on Wednesday in a Michigan Community College Athletic Association Western Conference matchup.
The first game of Wednesday's doubleheader was a tale of two halves. The first half was the better half for the Raiders, they shot 48 percent from the field (13-27) and 63 percent from long range (7-11). The Lakers shot just 21 percent from the field (7-33) and 12 percent from the perimeter (2-16).
Freshman guard, Ashley Bowen opened the game with a 3-pointer from the right wing, that started a Raider onslaught of long-range buckets with five different Raiders connecting from the perimeter in the opening half.
The Raiders forced MMCC into a lot of mistakes to the tune of nine turnovers in the first half and a 38-21 lead when the horn sounded for halftime.
"We started off the game strong like we wanted," said sophomore forward, Makayla Beld, in a post-game interview. "That's been our goal lately, to play a whole game. We had the first half, then we let them back in to their pace in the second half."
The second half opened up and the Raiders seemed to let off the gas pedal that they had theoretically stomped through the floorboard in the first two quarters of play.
MMCC made a comeback for the ages in the second half.
The Lakers were down by as many as 20 points and went on a blistering 14-9 run to open the second half and turn the momentum in their favor. The Raiders and Lakers battled in the third stanza of play and the Raider lead was closed to four points at 51-47 after the third quarter.
It was the Lakers' turn to step on the gas and take the lead with just under three minutes to play in regulation. It was their first lead since the early stages of the first quarter.
Fans in Gordon Hunsberger Arena were treated to an unforgettable final two minutes of basketball as the Raiders and Lakers battled until the buzzer sounded. Bowen drained a long-range jumper to close the Laker lead to 63-60 with 50 seconds to play. The Raiders had an opportunity to tie the game with just under 20 seconds to play following a Laker turnover out-of-bounds. Freshman guard, Hallee Breimayer, tried a potential game tying 3-pointer that careened off the backboard then the back of the rim and into the hands of the Lakers and ultimately sealed the game with a free throw with 3.1 seconds to play. The Raiders added a buzzer-beating layup to end the game at 64-62 in favor of the Lakers.
"It shows that once again, this group can play with anyone in the conference," Head Coach Dave Glazier said post-game. "We just have to work and continue to be better at finishing. We kind of took our foot off the gas and didn't play with the same swagger we did in the first half."
Glazier's message to his team in the locker room after the game was an honest one.
"I told them this was one that was going to hurt, and that's fine," Glazier said. "The first half of conference didn't go how we envisioned or hoped, but that's sports. We regroup and we're ready to start the second half on Saturday and we go to Jackson and that's a tough place to go play."
Energy and toughness have never been a question for the Raiders. Those two characteristics are the driving force behind this team.
"We just want keep up this energy we had tonight and bring that into the game on Saturday," Beld said. "We know we can hang with Jackson."
Wednesday's loss sets the Raiders back to 3-5 in MCCAA play and 10-8 overall with seven games remaining in the regular season.
Beld, Glazier and the Raiders head on the road to Jackson Community College to take on the Jets in Summit Township at 1 p.m. on Sat., Feb. 3. The next home game is at 5:30 p.m. on Wed., Feb. 7 against the Muskegon Community College Jayhawks.

Breaking one of football's glass ceilings
Mina Kimes '07 covers the sport for ESPN.
By Evan Frondorf '14 | Jul/Aug 2021
ESPN images
Mina Kimes '07, the first woman to be named an NFL analyst at ESPN, spoke with Evan Frondorf '14, a risk analyst in San Francisco who writes frequently about sports for this magazine. The interview has been condensed and edited for clarity. View full image
Mina Kimes '07 didn't visit the football stadium that often as an undergrad, but now it's her home away from home. She's the first woman to be named an NFL analyst at ESPN and a regular on popular shows such as NFL Live and Around the Horn. Kimes started her career with award-winning stints in business journalism at Fortune and Bloomberg before moving to ESPN in 2014 as a writer—a move spurred by ESPN's interest in a blog she'd written about sharing Seattle Seahawks fandom with her dad. And her lively, outspoken presence on social media has earned her over half a million followers on Twitter.
Evan Frondorf: Starting off with your time at Yale, what was your involvement in journalism, if any?
Mina Kimes: I was an English major, but I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do with that. I was also definitely not set on journalism. I did some writing for the New Journal, a bit of music writing here and there, but no sportswriting. It was more through my internships that I figured out I had an interest in journalism. Between my freshman and sophomore years, I taught—which I was awful at. Between my sophomore and junior years, I did book publishing, which I was awful at. And then between my junior and senior years, I interned at a magazine called Fortune Small Business. I actually enjoyed that a lot, and that ended up being where I worked out of college.
EF: In recent years, you've moved from a writing role at ESPN to a more permanent on-air role. What does that transition from print to TV look like?
MK: It looks like a lot more makeup and hair product. That's the real answer [laughs]. But actually, when I was a business journalist, I occasionally did some audio. In 2016, I started doing more radio, and that's how a lot of folks in TV at ESPN get their start—doing radio and podcasts, and getting a feel for being an opinionator and an analyst rather than reporting.
EF: How do you prepare for a taping of NFL Live?
MK: It really depends on what time of year it is. During football season, it's a different process. On Sundays, you're watching games. But even the rest of the week, you're watching games you may have not seen in
their entirety on Sunday, or rewatching games at times. On the morning of a show, the producers will call us and talk through our thoughts on the topics we've agreed will be on the show. Then we'll have a pre-show meeting where we talk through everyone's respective opinions.
EF: You're one of a growing number of women to hold an NFL analyst position. What's your view on gender equity in sports media today?
MK: There's a growing number of women in a variety of roles, but as far as analysts go, that's still pretty scarce. I want to sound optimistic and say that things are really changing, but the reality is that the pace of change is quite slow. That said, I was not on TV five years ago, and even five years ago, if you'd turned on some of the shows that I'm on now, there were no women in non-host roles.
EF: Last year, you made an appearance on the celebrity version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, providing the right answer to the million-dollar question as the Phone-a-Friend. As a result, $1 million was donated to hospitality workers affected by the pandemic. How did that come about?
MK: I've been friends with [restaurateur] David Chang, the contestant on the show, for a few years through Korean Asian circles. David reached out a couple weeks before and asked if I would do it, and I didn't really understand what that entailed. Turns out it's just sitting around and waiting for a phone call. I was really hoping they wouldn't call me, because a lot of time had elapsed, and so by the time they did call me, I had a suspicion it was going to be for a lot of money.
EF: Any thoughts about Yale football alumni in the NFL?
MK: The defensive coordinator for the Giants, Patrick Graham ['01], had a really nice season, and I didn't know he was a Yale guy. And Mike McDaniel ['05] is now the offensive coordinator with the Niners. That's two of the best coordinators in football, and I thought that was pretty exciting. And Foye [Oluokun '18] has been really good, really surprising as a player.

The Incorportation of Pammy in The Great Gatsby
Authors tend to choose their characters with a motive, even if it is ulterior. F.Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is character-driven story rather than an action-driven one. Even though a few main characters dominate the story, minor characters that only appear once or twice during the novel, like Daisy's daughter, have a purpose and effect on the plot as well. Fitzgerald decides to include Daisy's daughter, Pammy, to highlight Daisy's monotonous relationship with Tom and how she is tied to him. Fitzgerald also uses Pammy to shed light on Daisy's views of women's role in the Twenties.
Fitzgerald first introduces Pammy to hint that Daisy and Tom's relationship is customary and repetitive. In the first chapter, we are introduced to Daisy, Nick's cousin. Daisy claims she doesn't really know him: "'We don't know each other very well, Nick,' she said suddenly. 'Even if we are cousins. You didn't come to my wedding" (Fitzgerald 20).
We Will Write a Custom Case Study Specifically
Nick, in effort to catch up with her and continue their conversation, "waited but she didn't say any more, and after a moment [he] returned rather feebly to the subject of her daughter" to which Daisy responds nonchalantly that, "'[Daisy] suppose[s] she talks, and—eats, and everything' (Fitzgerald 20). Daisy remains unenthusiastic and has nothing else to say about her daughter, other than she does the basic human functions. Pammy, the product of Daisy and Tom's relationship, reflects the state of their marriage during the years Nick was absent. When Daisy describes her daughter in a routine and mundane manner, she is describing their relationship too. Tom and Daisy do the ordinary things married couples do, but we see no emotional attachment in Daisy's tone, or any other kind of passion. Fitzgerald uses Pammy to illustrate Daisy's disinterest in her husband and their relationship.
Fitzgerald also chooses to include Pammy to expose Daisy's opinion on women's roles during the time period. The same night Nick and Daisy are catching up, Daisy decides to tell Nick the story of the night Pammy was born. She does this because she claims the story will show him, "how [she's] gotten to feel about—things" (Fitzgerald 20). She tells Nick that the day she was born, "'[She] woke up out of the ether with an utterly abandoned feeling and asked the nurse right away if it was a boy or a girl. She told [her] it was a girl, and so [she] turned [her] head away and wept (Fitzgerald 20).
Daisy was deeply upset that her baby was a girl. She also told the nurse that, "I hope she'll be a fool—that's the best thing a girl can be in understands this world, a beautiful little fool" (Fitzgerald 20). Pammy's birth reveals Daisy's opinion on how girls have to behave and what their role is in society. When Daisy says that she hopes her daughter will be a "beautiful little fool" because that's the best a girl can be, she reveals that during the Twenties, the girls that led a comfortable life were those who acted ignorantly, obliviously and blindly, a behavior often seen in Daisy herself. This conversation also revealed that Daisy is smarter than what she appears, because she is aware of her behavior, and suggests that she wears a facade around others to appear a fool. Pammy is also included by Fitzgerald to highlight Daisy's commitment to Tom.
Near the end of the book, Daisy, Gatsby and Tom are gathered together the Buchanan's living room. Gatsby and Daisy were romantically involved by then, and even though Tom didn't know, he suspected it. When the nanny brings Pammy over to Daisy, Daisy inquires, "'how do you like mother's friends?' Daisy turned her around so that she faced Gatsby. 'Do you think they're pretty?'"(Fitzgerald 124). While Daisy sought Pammy's approval of Gatsby, Pammy reacts by asking, "'Where's Daddy?"(Fitzgerald 124), she calls out for the male figure that is closer to her. Daisy's reaction is to convince Gatsby that "'She doesn't look like her father,' explained Daisy.
'She looks like me. She's got my hair and shape of the face'" (Fitzgerald 125). In this chapter, Fitzgerald uses Pammy to remind the characters and the reader that despite Daisy's infatuation with Gatsby, she is tied to Tom both economically and by her daughter. Daisy tries to convince Gatsby that she and Tom aren't as entangled, by diminishing Tom's role in the family as a father and husband by saying that "[Pammy] doesn't look like her father". Pammy is the physical proof that it wouldn't be easy for Daisy to leave Tom for Gatsby.
Daisy is unable to leave Tom behind because they share a huge responsibility, which is something Gatsby might not understand since he doesn't have any children. Fitzgerald uses Pammy to help the readers comprehend why Daisy can't simply leave Tom to be with Gatsby. In conclusion, F.Scott Fitzgerald strategically includes Pammy to explore the themes and relationships of the book. Pammy serves as an opening to showcase Daisy'sviews on women's role during the Twenties. She also helps the author show Daisy's dull relationship with Tom implicitly, even early in the book.
Perhaps Fitzgerald's inclusion of Pammy suggests that children mirror their environment and the people around them.

Most of the links below are broken due to the upgrade in the NASA computer system and servers. The links are being re-worked, with new names. Until that time, please go to the NASA main website (not the TT Website) to download all Rules, Forms, Class Calculators, License Applications, etc.
NASA has decided that racers with a current NASA Competition or Provisional Race License will not need to also get a TT License. They do need to be aware that driving over-aggressively in a TT/HPDE4 session will put their Competition License at risk.
What does TT license look like? I have my HPDE4 leader signed the application, and turned in(paid of course)at Buttonwillow, but almost 2 months, haven't receive anything yet. Should I call to ask? or keep waitting?
It's a plastic credit card type card, like your membership.
Does this also apply for SCCA Regional Competition License and Novice Permit holders?
No. They need to either get a NASA TT License or a NASA Competition License. It is likely that someone with an SCCA Comp License will be approved to run in HDPE4/TT by the regional TT Director. A Novice Permit holder may require a check-out ride. But, in either case, they will need to follow the process for obtaining either a NASA TT or Comp License.
Hi, I am new to the forum here and I am looking to get my TT license this summer. I have done several club time trials and HPDE type events with point to pass situations. What all would be required of me to get a license? Should I just show up at a school with the proper forms?
...someone correct me if I am wrong.
1-work your way up through NASA HPDE 4 and get signed off to TT by HPDE 4 and TT director.


favorite fictional ladies: hermione granger (harry potter).

I am from Venezuela, a country that is NOT dollarized but still many things here are being charged in dollars like for example my dads surgery, he has not been to work since he lost his right eye and we're really worried he might lose his job, you can google the situation in venezuela if you want to understand how bad things are here, we can't give ourselves the chance of losing our jobs. i would really appreciate if you guys could donate what you can to my paypal account, no matter how much everything helps! and if you can't please reblog this so someone who might be able to help could donate a little something, thank you so much for taking your time to read, to reblog or even to donate. i will forever be so thankful with any help ya'll could give me!!!!


We are spending the rest of the week with our families. If you are in the area, head on down to Balboa Island for their annual Christmas lights display. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
I had lunch with a small business owner yesterday.
Looking for a recession-proof niche?
This is about as close as you're going to get.
e7sports provides online management systems for youth sports groups. Youth sports is pretty inelastic. The demand doesn't fluctuate too much with the economy.
We talked about his marketing strategy.
Marketing isn't just advertising. It isn't just being creative. It isn't simply saying you're the best.
It's living and breathing it every day by working on your internals – your brand strategy, your tactics, your culture.
Having a great product, answering the phone and genuinely caring about customer service (see Zappos) is both cost effective and smart.
We see a lot of waste.
We know of one business in Orange County that two years ago did a million a year in revenue and spent $10,000 per month on print and cable TV. They tracked none of it.
It raises a classic marketing debate.
It is getting more and more difficult to have the latter. Nike and Budweiser and anyone in the entertainment business beware. There are a lot of conversations going on out there and a lot of individuals with clout that can rave about a great product or slam a bad one.
You are a small business. You only have so much time, money and resources. Start with first things first. Have a great product. Answer the phone. If you haven't been focusing on that, now is the time.
A friend of mine has a nice little embroidery and screen printing business here in Orange County. Yesterday, as we stood in the parking lot after dropping our daughters off at school, he told me about a conversation with a Yellow Pages rep he had the day before.
The rep quoted him a rate for a full page ad and my friend politely declined, stating the none to obvious fact that almost half of his business was coming from online sources and the rest through word of mouth and referrals. The rep persisted and after the third "no" he dropped his quoted rate by 60%.
Now that the Yellow Pages has gone Tom Cruise crazy by telling small business owners that they've been ripping them off, it makes sense to help them find more practical uses for their product.
1. Use the book as a primer to teach your children the history of advertising. See kids? This is what ads looked like when your grandmother was a little girl!
As a small business owner, you rely on your local customers. The internet allows you to reach them more cheaply and more effectively than any other paid medium. Take advantage of Google, Local.com and Yelp.
Your future customers are all there. Are you?
MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn, Yelp. And whatever other social media business you can think of.
Like a lot of small business owners, dentists used to just advertise in local papers and magazines, do a direct mail piece now and then and watch their practice grow.
The old ways aren't working.
It's the death of Adus Interruptus.
He doesn't listen. He is old school in his approach. Top down. He's a genius. I'm an idiot. Let's talk a little bit. Let me be part of the process. I'll tell you what I think and you tell me if I'm making sense. Pull me, don't push me.
He doesn't connect with me. I'm not talking about being my buddy. Just do something to remind me that you're a human being. Stop sending me the tired postcard two weeks out and the day-before phone call. Try doing something different that takes you out of the pile of people who just want my money.
He doesn't care what other people think. Someone told me they had a bad experience. Is that true? No? Well, why did they post it to their Facebook page? Why did they Twitter about it? Why are you so poorly reviewed on Yelp? In the past, it was easier to hide poor execution, shady practices and shoddy performance. Not anymore.
He tries to upsell me all the time. I'm not in junior high anymore so let's just skip the retainer, ok pal? It's invisible? Yeah, ok, it's invisible. And I know you paid a pretty penny for that flatscreen image of the inside of my mouth that makes it look like a napalmed village but those fillings still work.
He has no empathy. Do you realize what you're suggesting is not only going to cost me a boatload of both time and money put also pain and stress? Can I tell you the 138 other things I'd rather do than come back for that?
No humor, no mirth, no glee. Goes back to being human. C'mon buddy. Lighten up. It's teeth!
Social media marketing is simple and painless. There is nothing to fear. Just get out of your own way and start connecting with people. Do it online and offline. Build some trust. It's the social currency of the future.

Who was the leading painter of the Harlem Renaissance?
At the urging of Alain Locke, W.E.B. Du Bois, and other influential leaders of the first three decades of the twentieth century, black creative artists began collaborating in literature, music, theater, and art to increase awareness of their culture. By the 1920s, this era became known as the Harlem Renaissance, named for the section of New York City where the transformation was based.
Aaron Douglas (1899–1979) became the leading painter of the Harlem Renaissance era. Active in New York from 1923 to 1925, he was the first of his generation to depict visual symbols—stylized African figures with overlays of geometric forms—that created a sense of movement and rhythm. The idea spread from Harlem, where many black intellectuals and artists from the Caribbean and elsewhere had settled, throughout the United States. This concept, while promoting ethnic awareness and pride, also counteracted the stereotypes and shallow interpretations prevalent in the popular culture of the time. Douglas's works include murals on the walls of Cravath Hall (the former library building) at Fisk University, the Countee Cullen Branch of the New York Public Library (now incorporated into the Schomburg Center in Harlem), and the College Inn Room of the Sherman Hotel in Chicago. He designed bookplates and also painted portraits of Mary McLeod Bethune, Charles Spurgeon Johnson, and other black luminaries. Douglas promoted African art in America through his murals and other illustrations. The Topeka, Kansas, native became an eminent muralist, illustrator, and educator. In 1939, he went to Fisk University in Nashville, where he established the art department.


Knowing what to expect following your LASIK surgical procedure can help you to be better prepared to follow the post-operative instructions provided to you by your ophthalmologist, and to ensure that you are not unpleasantly surprised by any of the expected post-operative side-effects and potential complications.
The majority of LASIK patients will see an almost immediate improvement in their vision after the procedure. Their vision will continue to improve as their eyes go through the healing process. In general, the cornea is the fastest healing tissue on the human body. That is the reason why sutures are not necessary to hold the flap in place while it is healing. The flap created by LASIK begins to heal immediately once the flap is replaced and will be secure within 2 weeks. However, the healing process will vary from person to person.
The entire post-operative healing process can actually take up to several weeks. Each person's eyes are different and you may find that your vision is completely perfect on the 2nd day post surgery and don't suffer any post-op complications. Or you may have slower healing and experience some side effects associated with LASIK such as increased light sensitivity, blurred vision, halos surrounding lights, and also poor vision at night. Some LASIK patients find that their night vision doesn't truly reach the levels that they were hoping, and may still need to wear corrective lenses for nighttime driving.
Almost every LASIK patient will experience some level of dry eyes after the procedure. Immediately following the surgical procedure, patients report that their eyes feel a little bit scratchy and somewhat gritty. Your ophthalmologist will prescribe several eye drops that will help to ease the symptom of dry eyes and also help to ease any potential inflammation that you may experience after your LASIK surgery.
It is vital that you follow the recommendations given to you by your doctor during the recovery period in order to ensure that you have the best chances of a completely successful LASIK surgery. Some of the guidelines that you could expect your surgeon to provide you with may include the following.
Your ophthalmologist will also conduct several follow-up exams in order to monitor the healing process and carefully evaluate your overall eye health as your vision improves.
While you will definitely see a great improvement in your vision after the procedure, it is not entirely unexpected to experience fluctuations in your vision as your eyes go through the healing process. Be sure that you reach out to your general eye doctor or to your ophthalmologist if you are at all concerned about the changes that you are experiencing.
If your vision has not been restored to the levels that both you and your LASIK surgeon were expecting, then you may be a good candidate for a LASIK enhancement. While only a very small number of LASIK patients need an enhancement, this form of surgical re-treatment can have a great improvement on the patient's vision if the original procedure did not produce optimal results. The unsatisfactory result of a LASIK procedure may be due to a number of factors, but most often it is hard to pinpoint the exact reasons; it is often thought to be related to atypical healing of the cornea however.
All LASIK patients still go on to develop a condition known as presbyopia if they havn't had it already to begin with. This is when you start to lose your ability to focus on near objects and occurs in just about every person after the age of 40. While the original nearsightedness, astigmatism, or farsightedness may be treated effectively with the LASIK procedure, once presbyopia occurs, former LASIK patients will still likely need reading glasses.
The most important part of your LASIK surgery is to ensure that you maintain effective communication with both your LASIK surgeon and with your general eye doctor. The better communication that you have with them as you relay details of your recovery, the better help you will be able to receive in the unlikely event that you suffer from some of the complications seen in some LASIK patients.

GOLDING'S TAKE: Frantic Ford opts for 'Project Swift'
The writing was probably on the wall for Jaguar and Land Rover when Ford made that recent announcement that it was going back to a global platform strategy. But the signals at that time were not strong enough to be picked up.
Now suddenly there is confirmation from Ford that its review is still in progress, and that it continues to review all operations globally, and all the dogs are barking.
We are just three weeks away from Ford closing the books on the first half of the financial year and if the core business in the US is still as ghastly as it has been, then Bill Ford and his boys are going to be looking at selling the furniture not just peripheral brands.
The conclusion of a deal for Chrysler – sold by DaimlerChrysler to a private equity house – has also been a stimulant for Ford. Private equity has become increasingly ambitious but until Cerberus actually pulled off the purchase no-one was convinced that such a complex and risky business could be absorbed by private money.
Jaguar is the real villain of the piece in that it has been soaking up money for 17 years. It has lost money every year since Ford bought it off the London Stock Exchange – paying treble the then-prevailing price. Initially it was bundled for sale with anything remotely profitable in Ford's Premier Auto Group. Unlike Jaguar, the siblings have been growing stronger to the point where Volvo, Land Rover and Aston Martin (now sold) are all now profitable.
The profit from the Premier Auto Group in the first three months of 2007 (inclusive of a farewell contribution from Aston Martin) was a record for a single quarter – up US$250m on last year. Ford of Europe was up US$150m.
Then Bill Ford stood away from day to day management and appointed Alan Mulally from Boeing as chief executive.
At one point in the will-they, won't-they sell PAG saga Mulally stepped up and said that he had never known a company with so little resolve and so much indecision. Coupled with the news that he was very impressed with the progress at PAG, the observation was thought to mean that PAG was safe.
After all, the losses of PAG – after exceptional charges – were improving steadily. Land Rover was getting exceptional acclaim for its new off-roaders, Volvo had the sector leader in European SUVs and Jaguar had announced a new direction in its design philosophy which had met with considerable approval.
The XJ was highly regarded but selling badly in its class because the retro look had been maintained a generation too long. The X-type and the S-type were both massively below volume assumptions.
Ford had tried putting specialist cars on global platforms and failed and a huge amount of money would be required for the Jaguar renewal to have its own platform.
And will there be financial buyers only? It seems so. Renault has ruled itself out; its own financial situation is deteriorating as volume and margin in Western Europe declines. Fiat is newly disclosed as an interested party but has departed. The company was told by advisers that whilst its trading situation is much improved, its finances are still not strong enough to bear the purchase of an unprofitable business without a downgrade in the credit rating.
Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and HSBC have all been named in the swirling speculation as having been appointed to advise Ford. If the interest from private capital is considerable and there is urgency to make a decision, having a number of advisers on the job will be valuable.
The give-away to the speed required is contained in Ford's code name for the disposal: Project Swift.

Android News / ASUS / Leaked 5G-Enabled Dual-Slider ASUS Smartphone Is… Different
Leaked 5G-Enabled Dual-Slider ASUS Smartphone Is… Different
By Kristijan Lucic
Evan Blass (aka @evleaks) has just released a bunch of images showing a rather interesting device, one of ASUS', it seems. This handset is ASUS' "5G dual-slider", says Mr. Blass, and he also added that this device is presented in two different designs which come from one of ASUS' ZenFone 5 designers.
As you can see, there are two different phones presented here, though both of them have rather interesting functionality, you can slide them both up and down, which is not something we've seen on other phones. In the case of the OPPO Find X, for example, you could slide the display up in order to unveil the phone's rear-facing cameras, while the Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 was the opposite, as you could slide the display down in order to reveal the phone's front-facing camera setup.
Well, in the case of these newly-leaked designs, sliding the display up and down has its uses. In the case of the first design, for example, sliding the display down will reveal the phone's front-facing camera setup and also huge LED lights. Sliding the phone's display up, however, will reveal a large Harman / Kardon speaker. In the case of the second design, sliding the phone's display down will also reveal front-facing cameras and LED lights, but sliding it up seems to reveal a touch-sensitive panel, a secondary display, if you will.
These two phones both sport extremely thin bezels, they do have a "chin" below the display, but other than that, their bezels are more or less non-existent. The first design actually shows a phone that is more rounded in the corners, than the second one, considerably more, actually. Both phones included buttons on the right.
Now, Evan Blass did share an image in which these two phones are actually shown in real-life, so ASUS' designer already created mockups, maybe even working units, who nows. The display is powered on here, but it's possible we're looking at mockups only. In any case, that image reveals that both devices have two cameras on the back, and that both include rear-facing fingerprint scanners.
It is still unclear whether ASUS plans to utilize these designs for actual phones that will launch in the future, but the content is fairly interesting. We've already seen quite a few sliding smartphones in the market, but not a single one was able to utilize its sliding mechanism to this extent. If utilized properly, this sliding mechanism could become quite useful, though who knows if consumers would be interested in that concept. We have seen a number of sliding smartphones out there, but they did not manage to become mainstream, as smartphone manufacturers seem to be more interesting in phones with notches, display camera holes, and pop-up cameras, than they are in phones that feature full-fledged sliding mechanisms.
Chances are that ASUS will release at least one of these two smartphones, and it's also quite possible that we're looking at high-end devices. ASUS announced its ZenFone 5 series of devices last year, and even though the company was expected to announce their successors in the first quarter of this year, that did not happen. It is possible that the ZenFone 6, or whatever the company opts to name its name series, will be somewhat different than the ZenFone 5 series, and perhaps even feature a sliding system like the one shown in these concepts.

Economy Half of RATP drivers still on strike
Half of RATP drivers still on strike
Unlike the SNCF, the RATP does not communicate on its rate of strikers. According to press reports, these figures are quite significant, after 42 days of strike.
Traffic at RATP has been severely disrupted since December 5. 44495750 / fivepointsix – stock.adobe.com
Parisian metros are gradually resuming their daily journeys. This does not prevent some lines from being always very disturbed, like line 3, 5, 12 or 13. And for good reason, the rate of strikers at RATP remains quite high after more than 40 days of strike, as the newspapers reveal Opinion and The echoes. According to this information, nearly 14% of employees are still on strike at the company. A figure that would climb to almost 60% for metro drivers alone. At Figaro, the RATP claims however to have no information on this subject and therefore refuses to comment on these figures.
Comparing them with those of the SNCF, strikers therefore appear to be much more numerous at RATP, where the general rate seems to stabilize around 6%. And the trend seems to differ slightly. Admittedly, after so many days of strike, the mobilization rates are decreasing in the two companies, but in a more controlled manner at the RATP. December 5, always according to Opinion, and without confirmation at Figaro, the rate was over 55% across all categories and 85% among drivers. On December 17, 40% of RATP agents were still on strike, then 30% on January 9, for seven out of ten drivers. After that date, the rate dropped dramatically – except among drivers where it remained roughly the same – to 14% today.
While the rate of strikers has declined somewhat for several days, the position of the majority unions of the RATP (Unsa-RATP, CGT, CFE-CGC) has not changed since the temporary withdrawal of the pivotal age. They remain opposed to the reform. This leads, within Unsa, to some disagreements with union leader Laurent Escure, who is more apt to reach out to the government. For the past few days, the RATP has been able to make about half of the journeys it usually makes each day, i.e. the contractual obligation imposed on it by Ile-de-France Mobilités.
