Productivity growth in the U.S. economy has speeded up.
Advances in IT are the driving force behind this acceleration in productivity.
Because of faster productivity growth, the U.S. economy can now sustain a higher growth rate without suffering from higher inflation.
The Federal Reserve should therefore pursue a looser monetary policy than it would with slower productivity growth.
In brief, are we in a New Economy?
It is impossible to make a definitive judgement until sufficient time passes to gain some historical perspective, but some evidence points to a recent acceleration of productivity growth—and therefore, of sustainable Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth—at about the time the Internet was diffusing rapidly through the economy. At minimum, that's an interesting coincidence.
Why the Fascination With Productivity?
Why are economists preoccupied with a concept as abstract as "productivity?" Don't real people care about more concrete things like jobs and wages? The answer is yes—and no.
To be sure, the growth rate of labor productivity is the primary determinant of how fast real wages can and will grow in the long run. The nation's output is divided into labor compensation and profits (in reality, there are other pieces, but these are the two that matter for present purposes). If real wages grow faster than productivity, the profit rate will get squeezed. In a capitalist system, neither that pattern, nor one where real wages grow more slowly than productivity, causing the profit rate to rise, can go on indefinitely.
In the long run, productivity growth and real wage growth must correspond. Since most people receive the lion's share of their incomes from wages and salaries, the growth of real wages is the principal determinant of how fast standards of living will rise. Productivity is no abstract number. In the long run, it is the name of the game.
Adding the growth rate of hours of work to the growth rate of output per hour demonstrates how rapidly our economy's capacity to supply goods and services—often called the trend growth rate—is increasing. For example, with annual productivity growth of 2.5 percent and labor force growth of 1 percent, the economy's trend growth rate would be 3.5 percent per annum.
The central job of monetary and fiscal policy is to manage the demand for goods and services so as to keep it in line with the economy's capacity to supply. If demand, measured by real GDP, falls short of capacity (which is sometimes called "potential" GDP), the economy develops what is politely called "slack," and what is less delicately called unemployment. If demand exceeds supply, the economy is said to "overheat," leading to higher inflation. The trend growth rate, then, essentially sets the economy's long-run "speed limit"—3.5 percent in the above example. This number is among the most important pieces of information the Federal Reserve must know (or, rather, must estimate) in order to conduct monetary policy. Productivity growth is the crucial ingredient.
Improve the quality of its workforce through education and training.
Equip its workers with more and better capital.
Improve the technology, so that given inputs produce more output. This, of course, is where information technology comes in, and it is where I will focus.
Studies dating back to the 1950s have consistently shown that technology is the primary driver of productivity gains. Starting in about 1973, the technology-based part of productivity growth (economists call it "total factor productivity," or TFP) slowed dramatically, from about 1.9 percent between 1948 and 1973, to only 0.2 percent from 1973 to 1997, the last year for which government statistics are available. The numbers reveal a striking coincidence: the productivity slowdown begins almost exactly at the time the personal computer was invented!
No one quite knows why productivity growth slowed down so much, although many partial explanations—higher energy costs, lagging investment, and deterioration in the skills of the average worker—have been offered, and no one blames the computer. Since there is no widely accepted theory for why growth suddenly slowed, it should not be surprising to find it speeding up again. Perhaps that is happening now.
These days, when people think of "high tech" they typically think of computers and the Internet. But history reminds us of two things. First, even today there are other important sources of technological improvement. Biotechnology, for example, is beginning to deliver on its promise. Even old-line industries like steelmaking, automobile assembly, and textiles have registered notable technological gains in the last 10 to 15 years (aided, of course, by computers). Important as it is, information technology is not the whole show.
Second, better information technology is nothing new—it has been improving for centuries. The Internet can be seen as the latest step along a path that began with movable type, and progressed through other forms of technology, including the typewriter, the telephone, radio, television, photocopying, and fax machines. In 1866, for example, the laying of transatlantic cable reduced the time it took to send a message from New York to London from about a week to a few minutes. No modern technological innovation has, or likely will, come close to such a gain!
Let's return to the post-1973 productivity slowdown mentioned earlier, and to the question of whether productivity growth has speeded up recently. Figure 1 displays the productivity data from 1959 through 1999, and shows a downward deflection of the productivity trend where the first vertical line is drawn (in 1973). Productivity growth averaged 2.94 percent per annum before mid-1973, but only 1.41 percent after that. Thus, the conventional view among economists for years has been that productivity growth mysteriously slowed down around 1973. No convincing explanation has ever been offered.
There is a reason for optimism lately. For example, in the four years ending in the fourth quarter of 1996, productivity growth averaged 0.9 percent per annum; but in the four years ending in the third quarter of 1999, it averaged 2.7 percent per annum?triple the rate of the previous four-year period.
It is not evident in figure 1 that the productivity trend line has turned upward. A statistical test suggests a notable upward deflection of about 1 percentage point, but figure 2 shows that we have experienced comparable events before. It displays average (annualized) productivity gains over overlapping four-year periods starting in the fourth quarter of 1970. The last number (2.73 percent) is indeed a big one, and the rise since 1996 looks impressive.
Similar surges in productivity can also be found in 1990—1992, 1983—1986, and 1977—1978. But they all followed recessions, when businesses expand output rapidly without hiring many new workers. And the surges were all subsequently reversed. Only one of these events (1983—1986) was as big as what we have witnessed recently. Although we cannot yet confidently assert the beginning of a new, higher trend, the recent data lend support to that conclusion, especially since the recent productivity surge is not part of the "bounceback" from a recession.
Suppose productivity really has accelerated. Is the Internet the main factor behind this phenomenon? During the time of the "computer paradox," American businesses invested in ever more powerful and cheaper computers for two decades with no apparent productivity gains. But now we may finally be seeing some dividends on these investments. What changed?
One possible answer, which will be received with cheers and nods by industry enthusiasts, is the Internet. One theory is that all these high-speed computers required greater interconnectivity before they could really boost productivity on a national scale—and the Net has now provided the missing link. This "Internet hypothesis" is plausible, and while history may ultimately prove it, we must wait some years in order to gain historical perspective.
Paul David of Stanford University reminded us that several decades passed before the technology of the electric dynamo diffused enough to significantly raise industrial productivity. But once the new technology spread and people learned how to use it, things really took off. David suggested nearly a decade ago that such diffusion delays might explain the computer paradox, and Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan has endorsed this hypothesis on several occasions. The diffusion hypothesis does not necessarily contradict the Internet hypothesis—interconnectivity may have been the vehicle through which diffusion finally took place.
Robert Gordon of Northwestern University has argued that the entire acceleration of productivity growth—which he estimates to be about 0.6 percent per year once measurement changes and cyclical influences are accounted for—can be traced to the computer manufacturing industry. This one industry, while just a small piece of the overall economy, has produced a genuine productivity miracle since about 1995. If Gordon is correct, all the computer-using industries together, which comprise virtually the entire U.S. economy, have displayed no net productivity acceleration at all. That appears to be bad news for the Internet hypothesis, which emphasizes the gains from using computers, not in manufacturing them. But even Gordon's hypothesis is consistent with a New Economy view of the productivity acceleration. After all, what's more "New Economy" than the computer industry?
Finally, let us ask an important conceptual question: How would improvements in information technology be expected to boost productivity, and how central should the Internet be to achieving these gains? The basic idea is that advances in information technology make more information available faster and cheaper, and that better, more timely information leads to better business decisions. That all rings true, but let's try to be more specific.
One way in which computerization has revolutionized business practices is by creating improved inventory control. When businesses can control their inventories more tightly, they save interest and storage costs and may also reduce incidents of depleting stock. The Internet also clearly improves communication between buyers and sellers up and down the business food chain. But with a few prominent exceptions, inventory costs are not a major share of total costs for most businesses, and so potential savings are limited.
The application of Internet technology that has received the most public attention is, of course, merchandising to consumers. Names like Amazon.com, eBay and eToys are among the marquee Web sites of the New Economy. Electronic commerce was essentially zero until 1995, and even in the first quarter of 1998, e-commerce totaled only $16.5 billion, according to the Center for Research on Electronic Commerce at the University of Texas. In the first quarter of 1999, however, the Center estimates that e-commerce reached $37.5 billion. E-commerce is currently growing at a mind-boggling rate.
Retailing over the Internet may offer many benefits to consumers, such as easier comparison shopping, removal of travel costs and 24-hour availability. But such gains will never be counted in GDP, and so will never appear in the productivity statistics. Gains are recorded only to the extent that Internet sales reduce firms' costs. Given the heavy start-up costs, advertising budgets, and well-publicized losses of online retailers, it is not clear that such savings have, in fact, been realized.
The Internet may offer the greatest productivity benefits in the harder-to-measure sphere of business-to-business commerce, where many companies claim that putting their supply chains online has led, or will lead, to major cost savings. If these claims—which come from industrial giants like IBM, Ford, and General Motors—are correct, such savings would be captured in the productivity statistics. For example, if Internet technology enables firms to produce the same volume of output with fewer purchasing agents and middle managers, productivity will rise.
Has the economy's sustainable growth rate—the so-called speed limit—been raised? And might it go even higher?
Has the lowest unemployment rate consistent with stable inflation—the so-called NAIRU (Non-Accelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment)—been reduced? And if so, how far?
The speed limit: As noted earlier in this paper, an acceleration in the rate of technological progress would obviously boost the economy's long-run growth rate. Until recently, there was no evidence that any lasting acceleration had in fact occurred. Now there is real evidence that the economy's sustainable growth rate has moved up, but it takes a long time to recognize a change in a long-term trend! For years after the 1973 productivity slowdown, for example, economists, policymakers, business executives, and workers continued to base decisions on what we now realize was an excessively optimistic estimate of the productivity trend. As one concrete example of the large errors that can be made when perceptions lag behind reality, it has been argued that the Federal Reserve pursued a highly inflationary monetary policy in the 1970s largely because it overestimated the productivity trend.
What might happen if the productivity growth trend falls, but neither labor nor management recognizes that for a while? If wage agreements continue to be based on an assumed productivity trend of, say, 3 percent, but actual productivity growth falls to 1 percent, then unit labor costs will rise 2 percent faster than either labor or management expected. The overestimate of productivity growth will lead first to excessive real wage agreements (relative to productivity) and then to higher costs and inflation. Firms will react by reducing employment and raising prices at the same time. This scenario helps explain the stagflation of the 1970s.
Now turn the logic around. If productivity growth speeds up, but people do not know it, wage agreements will come in too low (relative to productivity), thereby lowering business costs. Employment should also expand since labor gets cheaper (again, relative to productivity). This scenario may explain part of the fabulous macroeconomic performance of the late 1990s: an unrecognized productivity acceleration led to both higher employment and lower inflation.
The NAIRU: It is a bit harder to understand why improvements in information technology should reduce the NAIRU permanently. Electronic bulletin boards and other informational devices might reduce the frictions involved in matching workers to jobs. More generally, advances in information technology make it possible to shift some economic activities to locations where labor is more readily available; e.g., programmers can be hired in Bombay rather than in Palo Alto. But it is hard to believe that such effects could be quantitatively large on an economy-wide basis.
Consider, however, two believable scenarios that might produce a transitory decline in the NAIRU. One is the misperception scenario just described. If actual productivity grows faster than perceived productivity, the economy will experience a surprisingly favorable combination of stable inflation and low unemployment. In the data, it will appear as if the NAIRU has declined. But as perceptions adjust to the new, faster pace of productivity gains, the apparent NAIRU should return to normal. Similarly, if the Internet intensifies price competition, it could depress inflation, but only for a period of time. Could such a return to normalcy be in store for the United States?
The current revolution in information technology may indeed have accelerated the nation's productivity growth. If so, the Fed should allow the economy to grow faster than it would with a lower productivity trend. Chairman Greenspan has explicitly acknowledged this point, and the Fed seems to have behaved accordingly.
However, actual economic growth has clearly exceeded any reasonable estimate of the new higher "speed limit" for several years now. We know this because the unemployment rate has been tracking down steadily—a sure sign of above-trend growth.
Although the U.S. economy has not suffered any increase in inflation despite an unemployment rate below 4.5 percent for more than a year now, an unrecognized acceleration of productivity may have reduced the NAIRU only temporarily. If so, the apparent NAIRU will return to a more normal value as perceptions catch on to the new reality.

If you had asked me what I thought a Super Mario and Ravid Rabbid crossover game would be like, I would have guessed that it would have been something like the Dreamcast's Sonic Shuffle or Nintendo Co. Ltd's Mario Party franchise. Instead, as announced by Nintendo Co., Ltd.'s Shigeru Miyamoto and Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot during Ubisoft's E3 2017 Press Conference, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a turn-based strategy game that has surprising amount of accessible combat depth laced with a lot of the classic Raving Rabbid franchise humor. This year at E3, I was able to get my hands on a twenty-minute gameplay demo and I was impressed with what I found.
Mario and the other heroes in his team take on enemy Rabbids to restore order to the Mushroom Kingdom. (Image courtesy of Ubisoft).
In my E3 demo of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, it became quickly evidence that there were two gameplay components to the game: A gameplay exploration portion and a combat portion.
You control Beep-o as you lead the other heroes around to collect gold coins and solve puzzles. (Image courtesy of Nintendo Co., Ltd).
The gameplay exploration portion had my controlling a little robot named Beep-o, and my team of heroes (made up of Mario, Rabbid Luigi, and Rabbid Peach, though eight are available in the final game) would follow Beep-o around. While walking around the map, I could collect gold coins, solve some simple puzzles, and occasionally see small optional cutscenes of how the Rabbids are bringing their own brand of wackiness to the Mushroom Kingdom that they have invaded. One of the biggest classic Super Mario franchise mainstays, collecting eight red coins within a time limit, have returned, as I was tasked at one point with collecting them all in a maze with suddenly appearing walls in order to gain a new equippable weapon. More new weapons can additionally be bought by your party through the in-game shop with the gold coins you collect, and each of them come with different stats and abilities attached to them. As a result, Mario and the team can adjust their strategies for upcoming fights accordingly.
Gold coins are used to buy new weapons for your team to equip with all different stats and abilities. (Image courtesy of Ubisoft).
Speaking of fights, there were three of them in the demo. Each character has an attack phase, a movement phase, and a special ability phase, and you can use one, two, or three of them each turn in any order you wish. The movement phase means that the heroes (which you control during the 'Heroes' turn) can move anywhere within a large range of spaces surrounding that particular hero. Cleverly, you can have your hero actually slide into the enemy to do damage and then move away further from them to behind cover or across a warp pipe or even to bounce off another character to increase his/her movement potential. The attack phase is simply that: Mario, Rabbid Luigi, or Rabbid Peach will shoot their weapon at the enemy, which will do damage based upon a series of factors like distance away, coverage available to the enemy, any status bonuses from special abilities, and the like. Finally, each of the characters have a special ability that they can use that is available only every few turns. All of this adds to a surprising depth of combat that had me instantly hooked and wanting more.

There are a few other points of interest that I think are worth me mentioning. Of the three combat scenarios, two of them were for me to defeat all of the enemies, and the last one was to have a member of the team reach the other side of the battlefield (which was up a warp pipe) while not getting devoured by a Chain Chomp who will attack anyone (heroes or enemies) that he sees. Just in the brief demo I played, it was therefore clear that there will be a variety of battle scenarios to play and experience. Second, teamwork between the characters is a major emphasis in the game. I was bouncing Rabbid Luigi off of Mario in order to get him better placed in the battle area so I could attack the enemies where they would not be protected by a barricade. Third, all of the barricades are destructible in the battle map. This includes some that even explode if they are attacked and does area damage to characters nearby them. This adds yet another level of depth to the game's combat. Finally, there were no motion controls available for me to try out at my demo, it was just strict Joy-Con button pressing and stick movement.

If you're looking for a game to pick up after having completed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, I Am Setsuna, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, then just based on my E3 2017 hands-on demo, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle will easily satisfy that desire when it releases on August 29, 2017.
Are you looking forward to playing Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle when it is released? Let us know in the comments below!

Q: Python syntax with for loop and lists, exporting to text file
Possible Duplicate:
Joining List has integer values with python

I'm having a syntax problem with for loops and list in python.  I'm trying to export a list of numbers that's exported to a text file that's space delimited.
Example: what should be in the text file
0 5 10 15 20
The code I'm using is below, any ideas how to fix this.
f = open("test.txt", "w")
mylist=[]
for i in range(0,20+1, 5):
    mylist.append(i)
    f.writelines(mylist)

f.close()

A: If you want to use range() to generate your list of numbers, then you can use this:
mylist = map(str, range(0, 20 + 1, 5))
with open("test.txt", "w") as f:
    f.writelines(' '.join(mylist))

map(str, iterable) will apply str() on all elements in this iterable object.
with is used to wrap the execution of a block with methods defined by a context manager  This allows common try...except...finally usage patterns to be encapsulated for convenient reuse. What it does in this case is it will always close f. It is a good practice to use it instead of manually call f.close().

A: Try this:
mylist = range(0,20+1,5)
f = open("test.txt", "w")
f.writelines(' '.join(map(str, mylist)))
f.close()

A: You have to convert your list of integers into a list on strings map() to make it joinable.
mylist = range(0,20+1,5)
f = open("test.txt", "w")
f.writelines(' '.join(map(str, mylist)))
f.close()

Q: How can I determine how much of a string will fit in a certain width? Hi
I have a problem with adjusting length of text so that it fits to form's length.
In my form I placed a label which is responsible for displaying some long text. However the text might be so long that it won't fit to form. That is why I want to shorten this text and add ... to the end.
The problem is that I don't know how to efficiently calculate the substring of maximal lenght which would fit in form. So far I only managed to check if given text is too long (I use the method MeasureString from Graphics class).
What would be the best way to calculate max substring which would fit in form (substring which width < form.Width )?

A: Only reliable way I know of is shorten your string until it fits which you can check by using MeasureString(), there is no reverse method unfortunately (given a width, how much of this string would fit), so you are going to have to build that yourself.

A: I have a solution to this problem since I ran into it myself today. My ToolStripStatusLabel is set to auto-size, but it was exceeding the width of the parent control and thus hiding itself. My solution is specifically for use with the ToolStripStatusLabel control. Since that is the case this control does not provide a MaxWidth property or the AutoEllipsis property. It also will not generate a Graphics object for me since it is not part of the control family. This method can be altered to work with two Control objects, not much changes except for the parameter. My options were quite limited so I fabricated this method:
/// <summary>
/// If a child ToolStripStatusLabel is wider than it's parent then this method will attempt to
/// make the child's text fit inside of the parent's boundaries. An ellipsis can be appended
/// at the end of the text to indicate that it has been truncated to fit.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="child">Child ToolStripStatusLabel</param>
/// <param name="parent">Parent control where the ToolStripStatusLabel resides</param>
/// <param name="appendEllipsis">Append an "..." to the end of the truncated text</param>
public static void TruncateChildTextAccordingToControlWidth(ToolStripStatusLabel child, Control parent, bool appendEllipsis)
{
    //If the child's width is greater than that of the parent's
    if(child.Size.Width > parent.Size.Width)
    {
        //Get the number of times that the child is oversized [child/parent]
        decimal decOverSized = (decimal)(child.Size.Width) / (decimal)(parent.Size.Width);

        //Get the new Text length based on the number of times that the child's width is oversized.
        int intNewLength = (int)(child.Text.Length / (2M * decOverSized)); //Doubling as a buffer (Magic Number).

        //If the ellipsis is to be appended
        if(appendEllipsis) //then 3 more characters need to be removed to make room for it.
            intNewLength = intNewLength - 3;

        //If the new length is negative for whatever reason
        if(intNewLength < 0)
            intNewLength = 0; //Then default it to zero

        //Truncate the child's Text accordingly
        child.Text = child.Text.Substring(0, intNewLength);

        //If the ellipsis is to be appended
        if(appendEllipsis) //Then do this last
            child.Text += "...";
    }
}

I will be the first to point out that I did a dreadful thing and included a magic number! I apologize, but the 2M is a buffer. I couldn't find a better way to do that yet, when/if I find a way I will be sure to come back and update it here. I needed the magic number because the percentage I calculated is accurate, but in order to fit the child control inside of the parent well enough I needed about twice what was being returned.
I'm sure this will not be entirely accurate depending on the label font size and other factors, but hey its a place to start.

A: I used this code to make my statusbar text fit by stripping characters from the beginning of the string.  Maybe you can modify it to your needs
        status.Text = status.Text + " | " + newText;
        while (TextRenderer.MeasureText(status.Text, status.Font).Width > status.Width)
            status.Text = status.Text.Substring(1);

A: You can write the text word by word and meanwhile move the cursor point ahead until it reaches the end of line (width of the form). I had a similar problem but I was drawing the text on the form, I changed my code to fit your need.
private bool WriteWord(string word)
{
    Size size = TextRenderer.MeasureText(word + "  ", Font);
    if (cursor.X + size.Width > Width)
    {
        // you reached the end of the line
        return false;
    }
    label1.Text += word + "  "; // add the word to label.
    cursor.X += size.Width;
    return true;
}
Point Cursor;
private string FindMaxSubstring(string text)
{
    string[] tokens = text.Split(new string[] { " "});
    string substring ="";
    Cursor.X = 0;
    foreach (var t in tokens)
    {
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(t.Trim()))
        {
            if (!WriteWord(t))
                return substring;
            substring += t;
        }
    }
}

A: Set the AutoSize property of the label to true, then split your text to tokens and add them token by token to the label.Text until label.Width > Width.

Los Angeles High Schools Score Among the Best in California and the Nation (05-02-19)
LOS ANGELES, May 2, 2019 — Five Los Angeles Unified high schools were ranked among the top 50 in California and in the top 400 in the nation out of more than 17,000 public high schools, according to a recent list released by U.S. News and World Report.
Dr. Richard A. Vladovic Harbor Teacher Preparatory Academy was ranked 8th in California and 66th in the United States. Downtown Magnets High School ranked 15th in the state and 140th in the nation, while Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies ranked 27th in the state and 221st in the nation. Rounding out the top five in Los Angeles Unified were Alliance Dr. Olga Mohan High School, which ranked 45th in the state and 350th in the nation, and Francisco Bravo Medical Magnet, ranking 47th and 382nd in the state and nation, respectively.
"Congratulations to our many outstanding high schools for this well-deserved recognition," Superintendent Austin Beutner said. "I am grateful for the hard work of our teachers, administrators and staff as they prepare our students for success in college, careers and life."
U.S. News, well known for publishing systematically ranked colleges and universities since 1985, has been publishing similar ranked lists of America's high schools since 2007. The numerical rankings are based on data collected independently from all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The ranked list includes all high school types, including magnets, opportunity and continuation schools, and independent charters.
For the 2019 list, analysts used an expanded list of weighted factors, including graduation rates, student achievement tests in reading and math, college readiness (according to percentages of students taking college-level courses and exams and breadth of college-level offerings) and achievement among traditionally lower-performing populations.
"I am so proud that Dr. Richard A. Vladovic is ranked number 8 in the state of California and that we are ranked number 1 out of the 249 high schools in Los Angeles Unified," Principal Jan Murata said. "The credit goes to our hard-working students, high standards of our educators, supportive parents and a long-standing partnership with Los Angeles Harbor College."
"I am excited that Downtown Magnets High School received this recognition," Principal Sarah Usmani said. "I love that this was published right before Teacher Appreciation Week, as well. It is a way to honor the hard-working and dedicated staff, our determined students and our supportive families. I see the incredible efforts of all every single day, working to challenge and nurture our students."
"We are proud of all the achievements of our students and the Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies school community," Principal Kimberly Lesure said. "We are also grateful to our Board member, Dr. George McKenna, Los Angeles Unified leaders and the many hard-working individuals who help our students rise to their potential each and every day."
"The achievements of our Bravo Medical Magnet students do not happen by chance or in a vacuum," Principal Luis Lopez said. "The entire Bravo community, faculty, parents, support and classified staff rally around every single one of our students to help them achieve their personal and academic goals.

iSeeCars Study Finds 2022 Chevy Tahoe Likely to Reach 200,000 Miles
The 2022 Chevy Tahoe was recently categorized as one of the top vehicles to reach at least 200,000 miles in its lifetime. This analysis comes from the automotive research site iSeeCars. The online site focuses on data analysis to determine the various qualities of different vehicles. In order to discover whether the Chevy Tahoe could go beyond 200,000 miles, iSeeCars analyzed sales and registration data as well as the percentages of vehicles that surpassed the mile threshold. Several other Chevy models made the top list as well. This is good news for General Motors (GM) which has been in the spotlight recently for its all-electric 2023 Chevy Silverado. Like many automakers, GM has been focusing on electrifying its lineup. Despite the focus on EVs, we're glad to see GM still prioritizing its gasoline models.
Chevy Tahoe Can Reach 200,000 Miles
According to a recent top 15 list by iSeeCars, the 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe is more than capable of reaching 200,000 miles within its lifetime. This analysis comes from the automotive research site iSeeCars which utilized sale and registration data to determine the capability of the Chevy Tahoe. The online site also utilized the percentage of units from specific models that had surpassed this mile threshold. About the Tahoe, iSeeCars analyst Karl Brauer said,
"All manufactured by General Motors, the Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon, GMC Yukon XL, and Chevrolet Tahoe share a platform and many common parts, confirming why these popular family vehicles are all likely to last 200,000 miles," Brauer said.
According to iSeeCars' top 15 list, the 2022 Chevy Tahoe placed seventh. This means that of all the Chevy Tahoes currently registered in the US, 4.4 percent of them have 200,000 or more miles. As a family-size SUV, this reliability is a great asset for the Tahoe. Other GM vehicles also made the list. These included the Chevy Suburban in 3rd place with 6.6 percent and the GMC Yukon XL in 4th with 5.2 percent.
The 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe starts at an MSRP of $50,200 (plus destination fee). The full-size family SUV was revamped for the 2022 model year, so it features improved handling, a more spacious interior, and GM's advanced safety features.

The Chevy Trax And Buick Are Saying Good-Bye In 2022

Chevy Trax And Buick Are Being Discontinued
Those who closely follow General Motors (GM), shouldn't be too shocked that its subsidiaries, Chevrolet and Buick are getting rid of their Trax and Encore SUVs. These crossover models are set to discontinue by the end of the current 2022 model year, as stated in a report from GM Authority. Taking their place will be the Chevy Trailblazer and Buick Encore GX, which are already on sale.
The Trax and Encore SUVs became accessible in 2015 and 2013 to go on sale for those particular model years, successively. Since then, GM has provided minute changes to keep them looking fresh and interesting. About a couple of years ago, there was already talk that these models would get the boot from their respective lineups when the Chevy Trailblazer and Buick Encore GX came onto the scene, but GM decided against it, the reason being that sales were still going strong.
For all that, the Chevy Trailblazer and Buick Encore GX are more upmarket by far, which means that they could soon become more pricey as soon as optional packages come into play. Despite this, sales have experienced a steep decline since these successors arrived. Simply put, there is no reason to keep the Trax and Encore anymore. The compacts are manufactured in South Korea and production will officially retire in August.
While GM always had the intention to discontinue these models, they had to be strategic with the actual timing. This signal came when the sales of the Trailblazer and Encore GX become stronger than they've ever been. In 2021, sales for the Trax went down by 60 percent while Encore deliveries experienced a dip by 52 percent. A few years back, GM had to choose between heavily updating the crossovers or getting rid of them entirely.
There are some that agree that the latter decision made the most sense, particularly because the Trailblazer and Encore GX both possess longer wheelbases, allowing for greater rear-seat space and cargo capacity overall. This is also despite only being a few inches longer. Their cabins also have a more deluxe ambiance owing to their improved styling and higher quality for their build materials.
Funny enough, a spokesperson for GM hasn't even officially confirmed the discontinuation of the models just yet. However, the car blog, Car Buzz has reached out to the two subsidiaries and is currently waiting on a response. What we know to be certain is that Chevrolet will proceed with selling five crossovers, while Buick will have four.
Standard safety features of the 2022 Trailblazer includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, lane-departure warning, distance indicator, forward-collision alert, and automatic high beams. It also comes with a 7-inch screen with a backup camera, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and SiriusXM satellite radio.
If you're interested in purchasing a new Trailblazer SUV, be sure to do it at Miami Lakes Automall. We carry an extensive range of vehicles from the brand that range in various trims and prices.

2022 Chevrolet Blazer vs 2022 Chevrolet Traverse, Which is Best for You?
The 2022 Chevrolet Blazer is a mid-size SUV that offers consumers versatility and ample cabin space. With a sporty look, the 2022 Blazer offers those wanting good handling and performance an affordable vehicle that still retains elements of an SUV. In direct comparison to the 2022 Blazer is the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse. The 2022 Traverse is also a mid-size SUV, but it makes up where the Blazer lacks. The Traverse offers more space for passengers and cargo. It also features more advanced safety features. Both SUVs have a similar price point, so we'll explore the pros and cons of both to determine which is best suited for certain needs.
2022 Chevy Blazer
The 2022 Chevrolet Blazer arrives with a sporty, muscular look that is backed by its choice of engine, either a turbocharged four-cylinder 2.0L or a 3.6L V6. For those wanting more in terms of performance, the Blazer can meet those needs with its powerful 308 horsepower V6 engine. The mid-size SUV is also paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission that can be utilized with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The 2022 Blazer has great handling on the road, but it does taper off when off-road so this SUV is best for cities.
Inside the 2022 Blazer, consumers will note a straightforward interior with an 8-inch touchscreen. In terms of space, the Blazer does pale in comparison to the 2022 Traverse. The Blazer gets 64.2 cubic feet of cargo space when all the seats are folded, but despite this, it can be a bit tight in the back for adults. For safety, the 2022 Chevy Blazer gets automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, lane-departure warnings, and forward-collision alerts.
2022 Chevy Traverse
The 2022 Chevrolet Traverse sits at a similar price point as the 2022 Blazer, but it offers more in terms of SUV capability. While still considered mid-size, the Traverse has enough room for 7 or 8 passengers. It also has 100 cubic feet of storage space. The Traverse offers second-row captain chairs or a second-row bench. The captain chairs reduce passenger space but they offer more comfort. The mid-size SUV also features a modern infotainment system compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
In terms of performance, the 2022 Traverse comes equipped with a 3.6L V6 capable of 300 horsepower. The mid-size SUV features front-wheel drive, but owners can opt for all-wheel drive for a fee. Equipped with a towing package, the Traverse can also pull up to 5,000 pounds.
Both the 2022 Chevy Blazer and Chevy Traverse offer versatility and comfortability. As mid-size SUVs, they offer a great price point for those needing something with more room for passengers and cargo. Where these SUVs diverge, however, is with their performance and function.
At an MSRP of $33,400 (plus destination fee), the 2022 Chevy Blazer offers a more engaging driving experience with its choice of engines. It also has good handling and proves effective in the city. At an MSRP of $33,700 (plus destination fee), the 2022 Chevy Traverse offers more in terms of passenger and cargo space. It also has more safety features and when equipped with a towing package, it proves useful for towing. For those prioritizing a larger family, the Traverse is the optimal choice.

The 2023 Chevy Blazer Gets An Upgrade With Its Powertrain and Performance
Posted in Chevrolet, Chevrolet dealer, Chevrolet Dealer in Miami, Chevrolet Dealer Miami, Chevrolet Dealers, Chevrolet Dealers in Miami, Chevrolet dealers Miami, Chevrolet Dealership, Chevrolet Dealerships, Chevrolet Miami, Chevy, Chevy Blazer, Chevy dealer Miami, Chevy dealers, Chevy dealers in Miami, Chevy dealers in Miami FL, Chevy dealers Miami, Chevy Dealership, Chevys Miami, Miami, Miami Chevy, Miami Chevy Dealers
Towards the beginning of this year, Chevrolet revealed that they would release their mid-size Blazer in 2023, in an electrified form. However, before this SUV dumps the gasoline pump, the automaker is still giving its standard Blazer a revamp for next year, involving the enhancement of its styling on the outer body and augmenting the interior with a larger touchscreen.
While the visual details for the upcoming Blazer are nearly inconspicuous, the interior shakes things up with its high-mounted LED running lights, which are sleeker and bleed into a new grille design. This grille design is now mated to the central headlight unit through a C-formed trim piece.
Going to the back, you'll see that the taillights receive new LED light signatures. There are also new available wheel designs: 18-, 20-, and 21-inch. Along with these new kicks are a slew of paint colors, which encompass Fountain Blue, Sterling Gray Metallic, Copper Bronze Metallic, and Radiant Red Tintcoat.
Inhouse, all upcoming Blazers will receive a 10.0-inch infotainment screen, which is an upgrade of 2 inches. It's also getting wireless charging capability. The RS model will also get a Nightshift Blue interior. The mid-sizer will continue to have its offering of a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four, with an output of 228 horsepower, or a 3.6-liter V-6 producing 308 hp. Both powertrains will still be mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission, with front-wheel-drive (FWD) or all-wheel-drive (AWD) offerings.
SS Performance Variant
Recently, the division of General Motors announced that on top of its electrified version for the Blazer, it will be releasing a performance-centered SS trim. A teaser video that was released last week, (March 9), showed the SUV following a bundle of other announcements regarding electrics, encompassing the GMC Hummer EV and Chevy Silverado EV pickup trucks, which all use the brand's Ultium battery technology.
A short time ago, Chevrolet showed us the first images of its Equinox EV, an electric SUV joining the company's other compact crossover in their electrified form. Strutting a unique design, the newest Equinox will go on sale by the fall of next year. It was also at this time that the automaker mentioned its EV version of the Blazer, bringing along with it a performance SS model.
It's worth noting that the teaser video doesn't reveal too much. It opens up showing a charger being disconnected from a port behind the front left wheel. The second shot shows the charging port while also revealing black plastic cladding around the wheel well and what seems to be a sharply sloped hood. One can also get a quick glimpse of the Ss badge at the button of one of the wheel's six spokes.
Chevrolet says that the Blazer will be its first EV to receive a performance SS badge when it's introduced later this year. While the company didn't explicitly mention this, it's presumed that that EV version will be offered in a way that's centered on comfort. The Blazer SS is set to go on sale in the Spring of next year, and it's also expected that it will include the Ultium batteries.
The exact pricing will be revealed as we get closer to the on-sale date, but it likely won't change too much from the current Blazer's price ranging from $34,595, (plus destination fee) to $45,195, (plus destination fee).
When the time comes to purchase the 2023 Chevy Blazer, be sure to do it at Miami Lakes Automall. We carry a wide range of vehicles from the brand that range in various shapes and sizes.

KBB Says That The 2022 Chevy Equinox Is Comfortable and Under $30,000
March 2, 2022 By melanie s
Posted in Chevrolet, Chevrolet dealer, Chevrolet Dealer in Miami, Chevrolet Dealer Miami, Chevrolet Dealers, Chevrolet Dealers in Miami, Chevrolet dealers Miami, Chevrolet Dealership, Chevrolet Dealerships, Chevrolet Miami, Chevy, Chevy dealer Miami, Chevy dealers, Chevy dealers in Miami, Chevy dealers in Miami FL, Chevy dealers Miami, Chevy Dealership, Chevy Equinox in Miami, Chevys Miami, Miami, Miami Chevy, Miami Chevy Dealers
The 2022 Chevrolet Equinox SUV is getting high praise from the automotive editors at Kelley's Blue Book (KBB). The Irvine, California-based vehicle valuation and automotive research company, recently put in the latest Equinox on its list of Most Comfortable Vehicles Available To Buy For Under $30,000.
The company that's owned by the Cox Automotive subsidiary of Cox Enterprises published its list of most comfortable vehicles and deconstructed particular vehicles that they deem are the most spacious, tranquil, and ride the smoothest on the current market. The latest Equinox SUV ranked on this list, right ahead of the highly praised 2022 Honda Accord and incredible roomy 2022 Suburu Outback.
Editors at KBB gave high remarks over the design of the seats in the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox, combined with its extensive cabin space and its excellent range of available in-car conveniences. Some of these comforts include standard keyless entry, push-button start, touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, four USB ports, the Teen Driver system, General Motors' OnStar telematics system and subscription-based 4G LTE connectivity with Wi-Fi.
More safety-oriented features consist of forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assist.
Higher trims offer things like a power driver's seat, surround-view camera, leather interior, and a power liftgate. The Premier trim gets a new automatic parking assist, while the RS model receives darkened exterior aesthetics and unique interior accents.
"A compact crossover with a comfortable interior, the Chevrolet Equinox offers a good range of standard and available features," KBB says of the hot-selling Chevy. "Seating is plush and supportive with standard cloth surfaces that become leather on higher trims. Adding visual appeal is the RS trim with red contrast stitching. There's ample room for five adults with good headroom and legroom for rear passengers. Available options include a power driver's seat, heated seats, and a premium audio system."
It wasn't much of a surprise that the vast majority of these models happened to be crossovers, as vehicles in this segment are known for having a softer suspension and longer travel capability than regular passenger models. These types of vehicles are more equipped to handle potholes and grooves in the road, which is ideal for daily driving or long road trips.
These vehicles are also quite roomy and often consist of a great selection of standard active safety features. Having said that, there were some sedans that crawled their way into the bottom of the list, including the previously mentioned 2022 Honda Accord, as well as the 2022 Toyota Camry, 2022 Hyundai Sonata, and the 2022 Nissan Altima.
The high-ranking vehicle on KBB's list was the 2022 Honda CR-V. Following this were the 2022 Toyota RAV4 and 2022 Subaru Forester.
The time comes to purchase your spanking new and comfortable 2022 Chevy Equinox SUV, be sure to do it at Miami Lakes Automall. We carry a wide range of vehicles from the brand that comes in many shapes and sizes.

Increase quantity for The Elephant in the Room
Holly Goldberg Sloan, 256 pages, 2021
From the New York Times bestselling author of Counting by 7s comes a heartfelt story about "the importance of compassion and bravery when facing life's challenges" (Kirkus) for fans of The One and Only Ivan and Front Desk.
It's been almost a year since Sila's mother traveled halfway around the world to Turkey, hoping to secure the immigration paperwork that would allow her to return to her family in the United States.
The long separation is almost impossible for Sila to withstand. But things change when Sila accompanies her father (who is a mechanic) outside their Oregon town to fix a truck. There, behind an enormous stone wall, she meets a grandfatherly man who only months before won the state lottery. Their new alliance leads to the rescue of a circus elephant named Veda, and then to a friendship with an unusual boy named Mateo, proving that comfort and hope come in the most unlikely of places.
A moving story of family separation and the importance of the connection between animals and humans, this novel has the enormous heart and uplifting humor that readers have come to expect from the beloved author of Counting by 7s.

Q: MongoDB cluster network Resilience with 2 ethernet only I wonder if it is possible to configure a network resilience mongodb cluster using only 2 ethernet adapter card on each node.
I configured the cluster with 3 nic emulating the third nic using vip defined on the 1st adapter. It's just an exercise to test config and replica-set voting.
In case of network switch failure in the worst case I lost 2 routes at the same time.
Asking for a server board with dual port NICs is normal and cheap opposite to quad port which are not always available (i.e. blade servers)
Thanks in advance to everybody for any idea or suggestion.

PS: (I know that it could be possible if the underlying OS offers NIC teaming (linux eth bonding), my question is if MongoDB can do it  on its own!

A: I found my old question and two years later:
2 Box Mongodb cluster is unusual because of majority logic on replicaset.
3 or 5 or 7 boxes with 3 eth port on each node is enough and 3 network switches is enough without bonding.
Just enable STP on network switches for avoid loop

४.१ Timeline
The 2013 Wikimedia Foundation elections will be held from 8 to 22 June 2013. Members of the Wikimedia community have the opportunity to elect candidates for three positions:
Three candidates for the Board of Trustees to serve a two-year term which will expire in 2015. The Board of Trustees is the ultimate governing authority of the Wikimedia Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization registered in the United States. The Wikimedia Foundation manages many diverse projects such as Wikipedia and Commons.
Two candidates for the Funds Dissemination Committee of the Board to serve a two–year term.
One candidate as the Funds Dissemination Committee Ombudsperson to serve a two-year term.
The elections are held securely using SecurePoll software. Votes are secret, and no one from the Election Committee, the Board, or anyone on the Wikimedia Foundation staff has access to them. The encryption key for the election is held by an independent third party; once activated, the election is halted. Some personally identifiable data on voters (for instance, IP address, user agent, and other data that is substantially similar to that obtained by the Checkuser tool) is viewable by a select few persons who audit and tally the election (the election committee). Voters submit votes using a Support/Neutral/Oppose system. The votes will be tallied and the candidates will be ranked by percentage of support, defined as the number of votes cast in support of the candidate divided by the total number of votes cast for the candidate ("neutral" preferences are not counted, so this is the sum of support and oppose votes). The candidates with the highest percentage of support will be recommended to the Board of Trustees for appointment.
The election committee will announce the results on or before 28 June 2013. Detailed results will be available.

Blair and Donnie's wedding weekend was one near and dear to our hearts. Staged at the always-stunning Lee House, Blair and Donnie's entire weekend was bursting with love, excitement, laughter, and family. Between Blair's impeccable organization and her incredibly involved family, the details flowed seamlessly.
After an evening ceremony at Old Christ Church, Donnie and Blair were carried away in a romantic horse drawn carriage. As twilight set, guests made their way to a magically lit ceremony over at the Lee House.
In case you didn't know- we LOVE action packed events. This was our ideal kind of wedding- with Bobby Moore and the Rhythm Aces bringing the party, a photo booth decked out with fun props, and full action buffet stations spread throughout the Lee house. Guests mingled and danced the night away with complete disregard of the pesky cold front that had shown up uninvited.
As drinks flowed and guests danced late into the evening, servers passed a late night snack of tater tots in cone cups to keep the party going all night long.

I've been in my fair share of relationships, and knowing how to say the right things to your lady can most certainly help your relationships thrive ... Not sure of what NOT to say? Check out our previous post on that here. Men, most women love romance. To be continually wooed and reminded of why you are the center of her entire world are what keeps us happy! Many times my guy friends say to me, we already know what NOT to say but what SHOULD I be saying?
Well fellas, here are a couple of things that you should always remind your lady ….
She is loved - this may sound a little silly and should go without saying but there is such value in being reminded that we are loved. Nothing makes your heart flutter than knowing that someone out there loves you …just you! Reminding your lady that she is the one that you love will surely get her in a good mood.
She is protected - yes, this is the one time we need your chests puffed out and you exhibiting primal qualities! If a man disrespects your lady while out sir, please make a deal out of it! This is probably the one time where you steppin and say 'hey man, that's my girl', will get you all kinds of brownie points … sometimes even lets you into the cookie jar!
She is beautiful - notice that this isn't the most important or even the second most important reminder. Reminding a woman that she is beautiful everyday, but not how much you love her (by your words and actions) honestly doesn't count for much. If you are dating a woman who is self aware, being shown how much she is loved versus being told she is beautiful will win out any day! But, sometimes women need to be reminded that they are in fact beautiful before they put their face on! Reminding her that she is the reason you are there is what is important - not her looks - although it doesn't hurt to be told that you are banging now and again! Remember beauty goes beyond 'looks' there are many things that make a lady beautiful besides a well made up face. Does she cook? Does her smile light up the room? Does she give you a confidence that makes you feel superhuman? That's what I'm talking about men!
Alright fellas, let's start here and see how you do! Share with us if any of these tips helped you out or if you have some of your own!

Prayers for PriestsBrett Russell2017-06-26T19:48:34-07:00
Prayer for the Holy Father
"Lord Jesus, shelter our Holy Father, Pope Francis, under the protection of Thy Sacred Heart. Be Thou his light, his strength, and his consolation."
"O God, the Pastor and Ruler of all the faithful, look down, in Your mercy, upon Your servant Pope Francis, whom You have appointed to preside over Your Church; and grant, we beseech You, that both by word and example, he may edify all those under his charge; so that with the flock entrusted to him, he may arrive at length unto life everlasting. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen."
Prayer for Our Bishop
"God, Eternal Shepherd, You tend Your Church in many ways and rule us with love. you have chosen your servant, Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted, to be a shepherd of Your flock.
Give him a spirit of courage and right judgment, a spirit of knowledge and love. By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care, may he build Your Church as a sign of the salvation of the world."
"O Jesus, humbled in the Eucharist to be the source and center of charity of the Catholic Church, and the strength of souls, we offer Thee our prayers, our actions, our sufferings on behalf of Thy Priests, to the end that each may behold the wider extension of the Kingdom of Thy Sacred Heart."
"O Jesus, Eternal High Priest, Divine Sacrificer, vouchsafe to pour forth upon Thy Priests continual living streams of infinite love. Live in them, transform them into Thee: make them, by Thy grace, fit instruments of Thy mercy: do Thou act in them and through them and grant that they may become wholly one with Thee by their faithful imitation of Thy virtues: and in Thy Name and by the strength of Thy spirit, may they do the works which Thou didst accomplish for the salvation of the world. Divine Redeemer of souls, behold how great is the multitude of those who still sleep in the darkness of error, of those unfaithful sheep who stray to the edge of the precipice. Consider the throngs of the poor, the hungry, the ignorant, and the feeble who groan in their abandoned condition. Return to us in the person of Thy Priests: truly live in them; act through them and pass once more through the world, teaching, forgiving, comforting, sacrificing and renewing the sacred bonds of love between the Heart of God and the heart of man. Amen."
Prayer to St. John Vianney For Parish Priests
Dear Saint John Vianney, your childhood dream was to be a Priest, to win souls for God.
You endured years of toil and humiliation to attain the Priesthood. You became a priest truly after God's own heart,
outstanding in humulity and poverty; prayer and mortification. Totally devoted to the service of God's people.
The Church has exalted you as model and patron saint of all Parish priests, trusting that your example and prayers
will help them to live up to the high dignity of their vocation to be faithful servants of God's people,
to be perfect imitators of Christ the Saviour Who came not to be served but to serve, to give His Life in ransom for many.
Pray that God may give to His Church today many more priests after His own Heart.
Pray for all the priests under your patronage, that they may be worthy representatives of Christ the Good Shepherd.
May they wholeheartedly devote themselves to prayer and penance; be examples of humility and poverty;
shining models of holiness; tireless and powerful preachers of the Word of God;
zealous dispensers of God's Grace in the Sacraments. May their loving devotion to Jesus in the Eucharist
and to Mary His Mother be the Twin Fountains of fruitfulness for their ministry. Amen.
HOLY HOUR OFFERING FROM THOSE PRIESTS WHO HAVE FALLEN AWAY
MY GOD, poor, weak and miserable as I am, I have come to spend this hour alone with YOU, in reparation for the priests who have forgotten that they are YOUR chosen souls. Especially, dear God, do I offer this holy hour for the priests who at this moment need it most. In praying for consecrated souls, help me to remember my own utter weakness, misery and nothingness. Were it not for YOUR grace, I would be far worse than those for whom I pray.
St. Therese's PRAYER FOR PRIESTS and VOCATIONS
'O Holy Father, may the torrents of love flowing from the sacred wounds of Thy Divine Son bring forth priests like unto the beloved disciple John who stood at the foot of the Cross; priests: who as a pledge of Thine own most tender love will lovingly give Thy Divine Son to the souls of men.
May Thy priests be faithful guardians of Thy Church, as John was of Mary, whom he received into his house. Taught by this loving Mother who suffered so much on Calvary, may they display a mother's care and thoughtfulness towards Thy children. May they teach souls to enter into close union with Thee through Mary who, as the Gate of Heaven, is specially the guardian of the treasures of Thy Divine Heart.
Give us priests who are on fire, and who are true children of Mary, priests who will give Jesus to souls with the same tenderness and care with which Mary carried the Little Child of Bethlehem.
Mother of sorrows and of love, out of compassion for Thy beloved Son, open in our hearts deep wells of love, so that we may console Him and give Him a generation of priests formed in thy school and having all the tender thoughtfulness of thine own spotless love.'
0 MY GOD, help those priests who are faithful to remain faithful, to those who are falling, stretch forth YOUR Divine Hand that they may grasp it as their support. And for those poor unfortunate souls who have fallen, lift them up in the great ocean of YOUR Mercy, that being engulfed therein, they may receive the grace to return to YOUR Great Loving Heart. Amen.
