Reports of an unknown disease affecting maize crops in the South Rift region of Kenya appeared in September 2011. The disease was identified as maize lethal necrosis (MLN) after serological and molecular tests were carried out on infected maize plants by a scientific team from the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) and CIMMYT, in partnership with the US Department of Agriculture and Ohio State University. During 2012, the disease was also reported in the Central and Eastern Provinces as well as in some areas of Tanzania and Uganda. In August 2012, invited by the Government of Tanzania, CIMMYT surveyed the affected regions and identified the disease as MLN.
Studies undertaken jointly by CIMMYT and KARI over the past two years have confirmed the vulnerability of most pre-commercial and commercial maize germplasm to MLN under natural disease pressure as well as under artificial inoculation. More encouraging, however, was the identification of promising CIMMYT inbred lines and pre-commercial hybrids with resistance or moderate resistance to MLN, which offer considerable hope to combating the disease through breeding efforts.
In September 2013, CIMMYT, in partnership with KARI, established the Maize Lethal Necrosis Screening Facility at KARI-Naivasha which will focus on tackling the deadly MLN virus. The facility aims to provide MLN phenotyping services and effectively manage the risk of MLN on maize production through screening and identifying MLN-resistant maize germplasm. The facility was made possible with funding support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture.

UK: Will May announce ANOTHER snap election?
Jack BuckbyRebel Contributor
I know I said recently that I think it will be years until the next General Election, but Theresa May seems to be putting out feelers. I'm beginning to think she might just be mad enough to call another snap election.
It would be a seriously risky move, but what else can May do? Even her own government isn't on her side. Boris Johnson called her crazy!
What do you think? Do you think she's mad enough to do it?
David White commented 2018-05-16 13:22:22 -0400
Mayor Khan….although he is a con.
I was thinking along the lines of James Hall. I only seem to be able to envision May in that bluish headscarf she has donned in the past. The stodgy old coot should have to wear the whole mask….in shame for her utter stupidity and blatant appeasement of Islam as the rapid stampede of the death cult continues to over run Britain. Gotta wonder if the old girl hooks up with mayor con, the bantum rooster muslim mayor of London, to further the Islamic agenda. Britain, along with the rest of western Europe, Canada and Australia have become the dumping ground for the third world filth in conjunction with the Soros driven UN and EU policy. Can you imagine what Churchill's opinion of May would be…that she is the leader of the Conservatives and she kisses muslim ass. I think we know …he'd probably bite that cigar in half in anger.
Newspaniard commented 2018-05-16 07:38:02 -0400
I'm with you, but if I were a UK voter, I wouldn't know who to vote for. Labour are against anyone to the right of Antifa. The Conservatives are against anyone who believes in free speech anmd appear to be under the thumb of their islamist members. LibDems are remoaners incarnate. Jeremy hasn't a party. Britain First are a good option but would they put up enough candidates to make a difference. SNP are a bunch of republicans (in the literal, treasonous, way) Ho Hum…
Andy Neimers commented 2018-05-16 02:24:33 -0400
As I've said several times – Maggie Thatcher she is not…
James Hall commented 2018-05-15 21:35:27 -0400
Where is her mandatory Shiara head scarf ???
Keith Barnes commented 2018-05-15 19:37:35 -0400
Theresa May is nothing more than a grubby little Socialist dressed in blue. She also voted to stay in the EU, which makes one wonder what kind of deal she is negotiating.
Caution Theresa, lest you have riots on the streets.
In addition, she disregards Israel and America while kissing Turkey's butt.
bob egli commented 2018-05-15 16:22:15 -0400
Jack Buckby….Most Left and Right leaning voters don't like that useless woman; why doesn't the Party replace her with Jacob Mogg?
Jack you just said she isn't good for Free Speech. That is the most important Right in a Democracy; if she wants to take that away, put her on Trial and jail her, if found guilty.
Then Canada may follow your example regarding our deplorable PM.

Q: Proper use of function stdout in io package What is proper usage of stdout() function from package io in dart?
I wrote such a script:
#import('dart:io');
void main() {
  print("Hello World");
  stdout();
}

and I get following output:

firen@firen-VirtualBox:~/Downloads$ ./dart/dart-sdk/bin/dart
  ./dart/workspace/test/text.dart Hello world Unhandled exception:
  Object is not closure
   0. Function: '::main' url: '/home/firen/Downloads/dart/workspace/test/text.dart' line:6 col:7

A: import 'dart:io';
void main() {
     String s = "Hello World";
     stdout.write(s.charCodes());
}

stdout is a property of type OutputStream rather than method, which is why you get the "Object is not a closure" error when you try to call stdout();

To create a proper cocktail a mixologist uses spirits to create a potion that fuddles the mind. The same can be said when Watercolor Werewolf's Scoop Deville produces a song. "I believe that every song is inspired by a classic in one way or another" the Grammy nominated producer proclaims. Scoop produced this 7 song concoction while working on the Watercolor Werewolf debut RELEASE "HURRICANE". "It was important for us to share some of the origins and genres that created the eclectic Watercolor Werewolf sound" Scoop says. The mix is equal parts rock, pop and dance, a taste sweet enough to be called the New Old Fashion.
"Its a turn up on the rocks with a cherry on top" Deville EXCLAIMS...Cheers!

Vishal Popat from Pearson talks about his experience of taking Shared Parental Leave.
The day Vishal Popat found out about Shared Parental Leave he spoke to his boss about it. Both he and she had never heard of it before. By the following morning she had messaged Vishal, having researched it and told him to 100% take it and enjoy himself.
Vishal, who is a senior talent adviser for technology and global products at learning company Pearson, did just that and says: "It was fantastic and the best thing I have ever done as well as the hardest."
He had been with Pearson for around a year when he told HR that his wife was pregnant. They explained his options. He had assumed he would take two weeks' paternity leave and return to work. Vishal was told about SPL. After talking it through with his wife, it was clear it was the best option for their family. "We grabbed it with both hands," he says.
Vishal just had to fill in one form to get his four months off. He thought it would be easier for the business if he took the leave in one block so they could get someone in to cover for him. His wife, whose work contract had ended, was off at the same time as him.
Vishal Popat says his parental leave enabled him to forge a strong bond with his baby
Vishal says the fact of being around every day for four months helped forge a strong bond with his baby. In his NCT group every other dad went straight back to work after two weeks and he says they felt anxious about looking after their children on their own. Vishal, however, feels he knows what he is doing and has been through most scenarios. "I feel totally okay being alone with a child. It's like second nature and my child can feel that. It is not just a mum that can have that relationship," says Vishal.
He adds that taking the leave has had "a massively positive impact" on his relationship with his wife.
He has been telling all his friends about how fantastic the experience has been and explaining how it works. Many have since looked into it and he is sure it will become the norm.
About four weeks before he was due to return to work Vishal tore a knee ligament, requiring an operation. He had to work from home for several weeks after his operation.
During his time off he had kept in touch with colleagues via a whatsapp group, but if he ever asked about work he was told to focus on his leave. The support from Pearson was great, he says. He adds that returning to work made him appreciate how difficult it must be for mums who have taken maternity leave to return. "Until you go through it yourself you do not realise how hard it is. It is like you leave your soul behind every day you go into work. It was definitely very difficult to start with, but it is easier now," he says.
He admits that the initial few days when he returned to work and was no longer 'job sharing' the baby care were hard for his wife, although she soon adapted.
Vishal works full time, but can work two to three days a week from home. He says he would "1,000 per cent" take SPL again. "Going through an experience like that transforms your life and the way you think and makes you more empathetic to other people's situations," he says.
David Pautsch's bosses at Pearson made it easy for him to commit to Shared Parental Leave. He returned to work focussed and with a new knowledge of nursery rhymes!
David Pautsch could be forgiven for finding the return to work after Shared Parental Leave particularly daunting. He went straight into a new job!
David delayed joining education and qualifications company Pearson so he could have a chunk of time with his daughter.
"I never thought about not taking Shared Parental Leave," says David. "I commute and work long hours sometimes and I knew that those first few months were vital to develop a bond. So I wanted to have that bond and make it as strong as possible should it be tested when I may be absent later on."
David took three months Shared Parental Leave before starting at Pearson as a senior development manager. He manages a team who put together new educational qualifications and assessments.
Pearson were happy to wait to get their man. And the flexibility didn't stop there. "When I took the job I said I need to leave early one day a week to collect my daughter from nursery," explains David. "In practice two days a week I either work from home or go early to pick up Lilly. I've had multiple managers and it's never been a problem."
David's experience at work points up the importance of supportive and understanding managers in making life as a working parent succeed. And where employees get good managers they are likely to be grateful and loyal. "I cannot thank them enough," adds David. "I appreciate that flexibility is a two way street."
The experience has also given David some strong views on how bosses should cover a man's Shared Parental Leave. Generally a woman would be replaced in the workplace for the duration of her maternity leave. But the college David was working at before going on SPL, and before joining Pearson, chose not to replace him for the three months he was off. David reckons that's not the way to go about it. "If you're doing Shared Parental Leave you've got to commit to it and make sure work doesn't get in the way," he says. "If everyone is covering bits of your job then I would want to be in on the emails to make sure it's all OK. But you need to be able to switch off from work completely and focus on this thing that needs all your attention – your child."
There's no doubt SPL needs tweaked in law and in practice.
But it does broadly work for those that take it in its current form.
Shared Parental Leave seems to have made David a better employee. He says he came back to work from SPL refreshed and raring to go. And knowing he'd built up that bond with Lilly allowed him to focus on work. However he admits sending Lilly – who is now three-and-a-half – to nursery at first was hard. "I underestimated the guilt," he cringes. "It's taken a year to get over that guilt!"
Gender stereotypes
David chose to take his three months of SPL alone. "It was really important to have that one one one time with Lilly," he says. His wife returned to work after six months, but she set things up for David.
"I got involved with the NCT mums group," he laughs. "They were all very welcoming and invited me for coffee and cake."
He was the only dad at rhymetime though. "A lot of dads say they financially can't afford SPL. But I think a lot of that is due to the gender stereotype of being the breadwinner. There's a sort of macho thing of not doing parenting." He's advice for dads like that. "Get over it! The most important thing is this baby that needs looking after.
"I'm surprised that so few men decide to do it but those first months are crucial to create a bond. For me two weeks of paternity leave just wasn't enough."
As well as advice David drew up a funny list of observations that he'd noticed during his time on SPL just before he went back to work. He says they've struck a chord with mums and dads that have read them. So here they are in full:
David's lessons of SPL
There is more than one verse to Row Your Boat and Hickory Dickory Dock..who knew?
Nursery Rhymes are more catchy than any pop song. So often found myself humming or singing a nursery rhyme without knowing it.
Sometimes you need the animal knowledge of Noah to make Old MacDonalds Farm work. There are never enough verses.
Not all baby changing facilities are equal. Newport Pagnell services needs to be condemned.
People in John Lewis don't appreciate Lilly exploring her vocal chords.
Getting stuck in a traffic jam with a baby is no fun, especially with an exploding nappy.
Parent/Child parking spaces are never used by parents…unless they are collecting their pension whilst bringing up a baby.
Everybody in a supermarket will stop you if you are with a baby.
Favourite moment is when one man accused Lilly of giving him a death stare.
Check, check and check again the changing bag. Having to buy nappies whilst needing one is a messy and not to be repeated experience.
I'd recommend shared parental leave to anyone..it was an emotional, draining but brilliant experience
* Pearson have upgraded our paternity pay from 2 weeks normal pay to 4 weeks full pay.
* Pearson actively promote shared parental leave and innovative ways of working for men.

Enter Ghost
August 31, 2010 by Mark Athitakis, posted in Philip Roth
Wyatt Mason's tribute to Philip Roth's 1979 novel, The Ghost Writer, on Critical Mass is brief, but he clears enough room to challenge the idea that Roth is a writer of narrow range. "Despite a reputation for monomaniacal attention to fixed themes—sex; women; writers; writing; Jews; Israel—Roth has exhibited such formal variety from book to book that where you choose to jump in can create very different impressions of Roth's novelistic nature," he writes. "It would be difficult to gather three more different novels by a single author than Letting Go, The Breast, and The Counterlife."
Mason calls The Ghost Writer "perfect," an adjective he's smart enough to know only to deploy in only the most worthy cases. Maybe it is: I gobbled down the Zuckerman novels about 10 years ago, in the Zuckerman Bound omnibus, so my memory is foggy. I read the three novels (including Zuckerman Unbound and The Anatomy Lesson too quickly, but the feel of Nathan's neurosis and dark humor are hard to forget. Prompted by Mason's essay, I dug out the old paperback and quickly sunk back in. The Anatomy Lesson is the most memorable one for me—it's the anxious author in full flower, so oppressed by memories and failures he tries to pursue a medical career in middle age. A small bit shows Roth's skill at inhabiting Zuckerman's torment but finding humor in it too:
But he was not a sick man—he was fighting the idea of himself as sick. Every thought and feeling ensnared by the selfness of pain, pain endlessly circling back on itself, diminishing everything except isolation—first it's the pain that empties the world, then it's the effort to overcome it. He refused to endure one day more.
Other people. So busy diagnosing everybody else there's no time to overdiagnose yourself. The unexamined life—the only one worth living.
And yet he can't help but self-examine. Shortly after that fit of self-flagellation comes a single long paragraph, four dense pages in the paperback, that describe how the bright college boy became a serious writer. It's a great feat—not just telling the reader how Zuckerman became who he was but, in its very telling, showing how adrift he is.

Find Chase Bank – Maybe You've Asked Myself Why You Need This..
If you are searching for chase bank locations in your area, you really shouldn't have a problem finding these. Chase bank is actually one of the primary banks in the country, and if you cannot find one within thirty minutes or less of your house, you must really live in the middle of nowhere!
The bottom line is, it's very easy to find Chase bank locations, you truly shouldn't need to look long and hard to find them. However, should you work with Chase Bank over a different one?
Chances are, assuming your home is inside an area using a decent population, there are many than simply chase branches close to you, just what exactly ensures they are stand in addition to the others? Aside fro the fact that they may be large and also have a great deal of experience (many banks have this) chase charge cards are incredibly well-liked by consumers today, and are among the features they are known for.
The reason https://www.bestshopsnearme.com/chase-bank-locations are extremely popular is quite simple-they feature a thing that fits everybody, no matter what their demands are. If you intend on traveling often, you can find credit cards with travel rewards points, where reach dollar you would spend goes towards money back on airfare as well as other travel expenses, like gas.
If you love shopping often, you can get bank cards with rewards points which go for the locations you frequent by far the most, or just get a plain cash back card (what are the ones I'd recommend) because you can use them for whatever you want, and also at equally as much money-back since the others.
What are the additional features on the chase credit cards you ought to bear in mind? With all the platinum card, the APR in the beginning is zero percent, and this rate not just applies to everything you buy in the first year, but also any cash you may want to transfer from another bank card on your chase card.
Of course, if you have a lower credit rating, now period might actually be closer to three months, depending on your needs. What rate do you want to pay right after the initial honey mood period? It's typical around fourteen percent, fwztvx very affordable rate in comparison with the other more prominent credit card banks today.
As possible tell, I might definitely recommend chase bank cards, and all you want do is find chase bank locations close to you, go down and fill out an application, and you will definitely receive an acceptance decision very shortly.
An even better option would be to do so online, which will save you time form having to get the nearest chase bank locations, and complete the applying from enhanced comfort of home.
The Chase center is the online center where you could access your Chase banking accounts. Chase features a portal where you could access your banking accounts and not only examine your balance but also conduct transactions, view your money history, request new cards, etc… It used to be that one could log on at banking accounts and be able to do all the transactions that you simply needed related to your Chase banking account. Now you must to attend chase.com to be able to do these transactions and this is called the U card Chase center.

Laurel Hubbard (nascida em 9 de fevereiro de 1978) é uma halterofilista da Nova Zelândia. Selecionada para competir nos Jogos Olímpicos de Verão de 2020, ela será a primeira atleta abertamente transgênero a competir nos Jogos Olímpicos. Hubbard está em sétimo lugar da divisão feminina acima de 87 kg da IWF.

Carreira

Competindo antes de sua transição de gênero, Hubbard estabeleceu recordes júnior na Nova Zelândia em 1998 na recém-criada divisão M105+. Esses recordes foram posteriormente superados por David Liti. Hubbard falou contra o que ela chama de "um dos equívocos que estão por aí" que ela treinou durante toda a sua vida antes de fazer a transição para mulher, afirmando que ela parou de levantar peso em 2001, explicando: "tornou-se demais para suportar .. . apenas a pressão de tentar me encaixar em um mundo que talvez não fosse realmente feito para pessoas como eu".

Em 2012, Hubbard fez a transição para o sexo feminino e tornou-se Laurel Hubbard. Ela começou a tomar hormônios sexuais naquele ano. Hubbard competiu no levantamento de peso internacional pela primeira vez em 2017.

No Australian International & Australian Open 2017 em Melbourne, ela competiu na categoria acima de 90 kg, conquistando a medalha de ouro. Assim, ela se tornou a primeira mulher trans a ganhar um título internacional de levantamento de peso pela Nova Zelândia. Embora Hubbard cumprisse os requisitos de elegibilidade para competir, sua vitória gerou polêmica, com alguns outros concorrentes alegando que a competição era injusta. O presidente-executivo da Federação Australiana de Halterofilismo, Michael Keelan, disse que isso era injusto com os outros competidores.

Hubbard se qualificou para os Jogos da Commonwealth de 2018, mas uma lesão no cotovelo durante a competição forçou sua retirada do evento enquanto liderava o campo. Após a lesão, Hubbard anunciou sua provável aposentadoria do levantamento de peso.

Hubbard mais tarde voltou ao esporte, ganhando duas medalhas de ouro nos Jogos do Pacífico de 2019, em Samoa. A decisão de permitir que Hubbard competisse foi posteriormente criticada pelo presidente do Samoa 2019, Loau Solamalemalo Keneti Sio, e pelo primeiro-ministro de Samoa, Tuilaepa Aiono Sailele Malielegaoi.

Em 2020 ela ganhou a medalha de ouro no evento feminino acima de 87 kg na Copa do Mundo Roma 2020 em Roma, Itália.

Qualificação olímpica
Em 21 de junho de 2021, o Comitê Olímpico da Nova Zelândia confirmou que Hubbard havia sido selecionada para a equipe olímpica para competir na categoria feminina de 87 quilos. Essa decisão resultou em Hubbard se tornando a primeira atleta abertamente transgênero a ser selecionada para os Jogos Olímpicos. Ela é a levantadora de peso mais velha a se qualificar para os jogos.

A decisão atraiu polêmica, com a levantadora de peso belga Anna Van Bellinghen alegando que permitir que uma mulher transexual competisse no evento feminino era injusto e que a situação era "como uma piada de mau gosto". A seleção também foi criticada pela ex-atleta representante da Nova Zelândia Tracey Lambrechs e pela organização Save Women's Sport Australasia. A concorrente australiana Charisma Amoe-Tarrant apoiou a participação de Hubbard. Expressões públicas de apoio também foram feitas pela primeira-ministra da Nova Zelândia, Jacinda Ardern, e pelo ministro do esporte, Grant Robertson.

It's Like That when guitarist Jeff Richman fuses jazz and rock into a new recording.
Richman's extensive professional background includes performing on guitar, composing, arranging and recording music in many genres, and teaching in academic and private settings. He has produced 16 solo albums and toured worldwide with notable musicians over a 35-year career. Among those he has performed with are Ray Barretto, Flora Purim, Airto Moreiro, Eumir Deodato, Blood Sweat and Tears and Gerry Mulligan.
The title song is a moderate groove, featuring Kennedy, Taba and Johnson. Acuna's congas give it an extra punch. Richman's lead is smooth. Kennedy rolls through the toms to set up Johnson's solo. Taba holds his own, but it's Forman and Kennedy who have the most to say about this track.


Shared Story Worlds explores new models, frameworks, and best practices for creating, curating, sustaining, and maintaining collaborative entertainment properties which invite audiences to participate in the co-creation of the world and ideally rewards them for doing so (please read What is a Shared Story World? for a more detailed definition).
The idea of an entertainment property that allows audience participation in content generation isn't new, but it is becoming more prevalent. Indeed, there's an increasing number of commercial participatory entertainment worlds.

THOSE who followed the Zambia Fashion Week from inception – the Julian Becker days- can confess that her exit from the event back in 2008 threatened its continued existence.
Julian was the founder, until she started running her own public relations (PR) consultancy firm. The fear by many was that the ZFW would go with her.
This is what drove Karen Nakawala, in 2011, to revamp the Zambian Fashion Week (ZFW), which was on the verge of going into oblivion.
"I felt that something needed to be done before we completely lost our industry," she said.
Ms Nakawala is the chief executive officer (CEO) and founder of Afro Multi Media Productions, a media and events company. Her commitment to lifting and empowering her fellow women has also seen her pioneering the Zambia Women of the Year Awards.
"I thought the only way to improve our fashion industry is through a local platform that will allow local designers to showcase their works," she said.
Ms Nakawala has a degree in Public Relations and Marketing which she obtained from the Ndola-based Institute of Commercial Management in 2009.
While pursuing her studies as a distant learner, she worked for Ford Vehicle Centre Zambia Limited (CFAO) and later moved to Zambezi Airlines in 2009.
"I have a passion for media but women empowerment has always been on my heart since I was young," Ms Nakawala said.
She explains that in 2010, she decided to venture out on her own after realising she wasn't getting satisfaction from her formal job.
"I followed my heart to leave my Job, it was quite challenging sometimes but I knew I was doing it for my country," she shared.
Her passion for fashion has seen her captain the local fashion industry through the ZFW, which is now on the international calendar for fashion weeks.
For over seven years now, she has been organising the annual fashion event with the aim of creating a platform for growing the fashion industry in Zambia. And the event has proved to be a catalyst for job creation for models, designers, photographers, makeup artists and event planners.
"Every year in October we run the fashion week which has opened so many doors for many, it has brought up the spirit of learning and oneness in the industry," Ms Nakawala said.
Upon revamping the ZFW, Ms Nakawala's dream was to see locally made costumes on the market.
"It's now vivid enough because we can see that our fashion industry is improving day by day. We have our own (products) to embrace as Zambians and we can see people proudly buying local brands," she said.
Ms Nakawala recalls that her first fashion week in 2011 had only 11 designers, a small audience. She mainly put up the show using her own resources.
"Sometimes when I sit to compare how much the industry has grown through the fashion week, I begin to understand that soon Zambian brands will go international," she said.
The fashion week concept originated from New York In 1903, in a shop called Ehrich Brothers, and eventually spreading to other countries. Borrowing from the original idea of propping up the local fashion industry, the fashion week has become a big event in Zambia, attracting local and international designers.
From the time the ZFW was revived, Zambia has seen a rebirth in the fashion industry with more young designers bursting on the scene.
This annual event offers a platform for local emerging and established designers to showcase their designs to potential clients and buyers who attend the show.
"From the time we started the ZFW, we have seen a big difference, more fashion designers are coming up each year," Ms Nakawala said.
This year's ZFW successfully ran from October 19 to 21. The event was graced by award- winning South African designer Nobunkosi Mukwevho, who is behind the label Khosi Nkosi.
"The event was a huge success with more male talented local designers getting the opportunity to showcase their collections," Ms Nakawala said.
It saw over 1,000 fashion enthusiasts, investors and journalists attending the event over the three-day period.
The show attracted over 55 local designers and three foreign established ones.
With the theme 'Design beyond the ordinary' , the runway saw designs by the likes of Donalia Mwale (Dotty Designs), Kabaso Nkanda (Nkanda Yatu), Anna Mabula (Gloriaz Daughter), Kubekili Kalaluka (Afro Chic Designs), Chisoma Lombe (Chizo Designs), Martha Kabaso (Africouture Clothing) and Cecilia Njobvu (Ulo Designs).
Others are Duncan Kanyembo (Blink Designs), Nada (Nada Fashions), Juliet Jacobs (Interfashional Africa), Charity Nyirongo (Mo Creations & Couture), Nelly Chama (House of Ynell), Muleya Kalaluka (Evolve), Naomi Phiri (Nogam Designs), Ronnie Musonda (Akwe Couture) and Richard Kasanda (MK72).
"The event is arranged in a way that local designers are exposed and at the end of the fashion week, we give out awards in order to motivate them," Ms Nakawala said.
Her creative and artistic abilities have also been seen on stage, on television and on Radio Phoenix as a presenter.
The Zambian Women of the Year Awards founder and director enjoys creating opportunities for fellow women and believes that no circumstance is bigger than any woman.
Further, she shares that women must realise that hard work and achieving one's dreams has got nothing to do with gender. She believes a woman with self-belief, determination, focus and passion can achieve anything in life.
"It's time women shed off the victim mentality veil and stood up to be counted by getting involved in national development," she said.
Ms Nakawala is a single mother of two girls.

Brewery Establishes Free Speech Advocacy Organization
Published May 19, 2016 • Updated on May 19, 2016 at 8:07 am
A brewery in Frederick is using the money it was awarded in a legal battle to establish an organization that supports First Amendment rights.
Flying Dog Brewery executive director Erin Weston says the company has created the 1st Amendment Society to advocate for free speech and fight censorship.
Last March, the brewery won a six-year legal battle with the Michigan Liquor Control Commission after the commission rejected the company's "Raging Bitch'' IPA name and label.
The commission reversed its initial decision in 2011 and approved the label, but Weston says the company continued the legal fight in order to set a precedent.
The 1st Amendment Society will officially launch May 31 in Washington. The launch coincides with SAVOR, a weeklong beer and food event.


This study included the development of a methodology for evaluation of the effects of providing broadband connectivity and collected base-line data in schools from three provinces (Newfoundland, Quebec and Ontario). The evaluation research is designed to provide decision makers with information about the technical and pedagogical implications of such access in schools engaged in the pilot initiative. It provides much-needed information on the benefits and role of high-speed access in terms of teaching and learning.

"The Grand Tour" Season 2 will arrive in October
Sean Szymkowski June 7, 2017 Comment Now!
Fans of Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond won't have terribly long to wait before the trio are back at it. May has revealed that season two of "The Grand Tour" will drop on Amazon Prime this coming October.
According to Digital Spy, Clarkson, Hammond, and May are putting the final touches on season two of Amazon's popular program on cars. May revealed the air date during a recent interview.
"October is when you'll first be able to see it," he said. "But after that, you'll be able to see it whenever you want, of course. I'm told to say that!"
May added it will include the same extravagant travels and fast cars, and that it has been quite a production—Amazon allocated a massive budget to the series when it announced the trio was joining the online retailer's streaming service. He slipped one minor hint in about the new season, too, saying the show has been tweaked in a way he can't reveal just yet.
"There's a lot of travel involved. There's a lot of crew involved. There's a lot of tech involved, filming in 4K. But that's boring stuff. It's going to look largely the same, but we've moved it on a bit in a way that I can't really tell you about yet because you're the enemy and it's secret!"
During the filming of season two, it was reported Richard Hammond was injured when he "came off" a motorcycle at high speed. Co-host Jeremy Clarkson commented he was hurt "quite badly," though Hammond brushed the incident off saying was "not dead." For fans, it seems his injuries didn't delay filming too much either.

Q: Getting different values for $\int_0^{\infty}x^6e^{-2t}dt$ with/without using Laplace-Transform During watching a video course about Laplace-transform, I faced the following integral,
$$\int_{0}^{\infty} t^6 \, e^{-2t} \, dt$$
The teacher compared it with the $L\left\{f(t)\right\} = \int_{0}^{\infty} f(t) \, e^{-st} \, dt$ and said here $f(t) = t^6$ and $s=2$. Hence,
$L\left\{t^6\right\} = \dfrac{6!}{s^7}$ and plugging in $s=2$, gives $\dfrac{6!}{2^7}$.
But when I evaluate the integral with usual method I get a different answer,
$$\int_{0}^{\infty} x^6 \, e^{-2t}
 \, dt = x^6 \, \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-2t} \, dt = \left. \dfrac{x^6 \, e^{-2t}}{-2} \right|_{0}^{\infty} = \dfrac{x^6}{2}. $$
I'm wondering why I got a different value? Is there something wrong with this approach?

A: Both integrals follow from:
\begin{align}
I_{n}(s) &= \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{- s t} \, t^{n} \, dt \\
&= \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-u} \, \left(\frac{u}{s}\right)^{n} \, \frac{du}{s} \hspace{5mm} \text{where} \quad u = s t \\
&= \frac{1}{s^{n+1}} \, \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-u} \, u^{(n+1)-1} \, du \\
&= \frac{\Gamma(n+1)}{s^{n+1}}.
\end{align}
This is the same as saying
$$ L\left\{ t^{n} \right\} = \frac{n!}{s^{n+1}} $$
with the standard definition of the Laplace transform.
In the example of $n = 6$ and $s = 2$ the result is
$$ \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-2 t} \, t^{6} \, dt = \frac{6!}{2^{7}}. $$

Blake Cannon Wins World of Outlaws Late Model Thriller in Limaland
July 2nd, 2019 by Chris Leone	No Comments
Broadcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kHAZG_cEoM
Blake Cannon assumed the iRacing World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model World Championship points lead after withstanding 50 laps of high pressure from Alex Bergeron to win at Limaland Motorsports Park on Monday night. Cannon led a Swindell Speedlab Esports assault on the front of the field, as only Bergeron in second place kept the team from sweeping the top five.
"(Alex) was a little bit quicker than me, but that was a good race, and we had a clean, hard-fought race," admitted Cannon. "He kept me honest for the 50 laps. I really felt like when we got going, I was a little bit faster, but he was a little bit better on the restarts. Nonetheless, man, I'm out of breath. What a race!"
The quarter-mile bullring at Limaland is a fan favorite for its three and four-wide racing, and this week's action was no exception. The drama kicked off early in the preliminary rounds, as a number of the top names in the series found themselves in the last chance qualifiers. A number of series veterans, including defending champion Zach Leonhardi, Adam Elby, and Austin Carr missed out on the 20-car final.
That didn't mean the main event was lacking in talent, though. Cannon and Bergeron put on what may have been the most exciting show in any iRacing World Championship event this season, trading the lead numerous times as Bergeron threw repeated sliders to take the spot and Cannon held strong to defend the spot. Both drivers made small mistakes throughout, but nothing that separated the duo in any meaningful way until Bergeron clipped the wall on the final lap.
"We were fast tonight, for sure, and it was a good race with Blake," said Bergeron. "The top was very dominant there, and you really had to make good moves, but we missed a bit on that tonight. We wanted to take it easy for the championship—we were ninth before this race, and now we're second, but Hayden (Cardwell) was on top coming in and now he's sixth. Everything can change quickly, and you just have to be patient."
Even behind the leaders, there was plenty of drama throughout the field. A spin for Dylan Houser caused the first caution, and on the resulting restart, last week's winner Hayden Cardwell spun and fell to the back of the pack. Just before the halfway point of the race, another chain reaction got the best of Jeremy Capron, who spun while trying to avoid Nick Cooper and took contact from Chris Beck.
Despite all the drama in the middle of the field, Blake Matjoulis clawed his way to the final spot on the podium. Matjoulis, who advanced to the final through the last chance qualifier, sliced through the pack to reach the top five before the halfway point of the race, and eventually secured third place over teammate Kendal Tucker in the race's final laps.
"I was very pleased with the run," said Matjoulis. "Maybe if we had a little better qualifying run and didn't have such bad luck in the heat, I think we would've been good. I was surprised with the speed we had, keeping up with the leaders with all the damage we had coming from the back."
iRacing World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model World Championship points after two of 10 rounds are as follows:
Blake Cannon, 154
Alex Bergeron, 135
Kendal Tucker, 126
Blake Matjoulis, 124
Evan Seay, 123
Hayden Cardwell, 121
Shad Prescott, 104
Dylonn Fox, 103
Dylan Houser, 102
Steven Wilson, 99
The iRacing World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model World Championship resumes next Monday with a stop at the iconic Knoxville Raceway. As always, the race can be streamed live on the iRacing eSports Network on Facebook, Twitch, and YouTube.

Georgetown Mens Soccer Lift 2019 NCAA Division I Title Featuring Former EDP Stars
By Michael Lewis, 01/07/20, 5:15PM EST
Rio Hope-Gund and Jack Beer credit their time in EDP League & Tournament play with New York Soccer Club as vital preparation for playing at the NCAA Division I level. And did they ever—both playing big roles this season, helping Georgetown University to claim its first Division I men's championship.
Both players were moved to different positions during their tenure with a successful NYSC team, which went a long way in helping them integrate into the Hoyas' system.
"It was amazing," said Hope-Gund, who competed for the club during his high school years. "New York Soccer Club prepared me to the best of my ability and I'm sure Jack will say the same thing. Playing with some great players definitely prepared us, playing in some national championships. We had experience playing in big games, national championships, Dallas Cup championship. That really prepared us for what we've seen in college."
Beer, who performed for NYSC since he was 10, felt the club was a natural for him. "I knew from the first second when I joined it was the right club for me," he said. "It was a special one. Our playing style was the right one, the coaching was fantastic and EDP was a good, competitive league to play in. It's a really good league for talented young guys to showcase what they have and get recruited by big colleges. My development in EDP is something that is very special to me."
So was winning a national championship. Georgetown prevailed over the University of Virginia, prevailing in penalty kicks, 7-6, after playing to a 3-3 tie in regulation and overtime in Cary, N.C. on Dec. 15.
A post shared by NCAA Soccer (@ncaasoccer) on Dec 16, 2019 at 6:07am PST
Beer and Hope-Gund were not the only NYSC players on the Hoyas as forward Will Sands and midfielder Dante Polvara also contributed. The Georgetown roster had four other players with EDP backgrounds -- goalkeepers Tomas Romero (Real Jersey) and Ethan Koehler (SDFC), midfielder-forward Ethan Lochner (Manhattan SC) and midfielder Jacob Montes (FC Florida).
It should come as no surprise that Georgetown Head Coach Brian Wiese has recruited from many EDP clubs like NYSC. These clubs are right in his backyard and he and his staff obviously have years of experience recruiting college soccer stars.
"Wherever good players happen to be hiding, we'll hunt for them," he said. "The level of competition is important. When you look at the teams that play EDP and the environment they are in, it's competitive and it has to be competitive to develop players. The first red flag of any college coach when you're going to watch players, if the environment is not good, if the competition isn't there to grow players, those players aren't going to develop enough. We've found the players we've gotten from EDP teams are every bit ready for our environment. And what more can you ask for?"
Of Beer and Hope-Gund, several years ago Wiese was alerted to several talented NYSC players by then assistant coach Brian Gill.
"You saw two different players. One was Jack who was very polished, very technical, highly impactful and the other was this kid Rio who looked like he could become something very mobile. Wasn't totally sure what position he would play but had a great way to him. Looked like a good teammate, a good worker, good feet, still not quite the finished product. Both of these kids are different, but they're going to be good. They seem to have a good chemistry and in Rio's case he's going to be good. It was just a question of when for us."
As a youth player, Hope-Gund started off as a left back, but was switched to center midfield by his coach Christian Gonzalez, the NYSC president. The 6-foot, 170-lb. New York City native played there in his final three seasons with the club.
As a center mid, Hope-Gund ran the NYSC show. "He controlled the tempo of the game," Gonzalez said. "Super athletic kid. He was a ball winner, a leader, well respected amongst his teammates. Towards the end of his career with us, he went back to center back. We planted a seed with him, and he ended up transitioning from center midfielder to a center back for Georgetown."
"I don't think you sometimes appreciate what players do for you until they're gone," Wiese said. "While we always appreciated Rio, I don't think we really understood how important he was to the consistency of our backline. He's grown into a really great defender. He's improved his game in the air to be able to play the position well. He's a midfielder at heart, so he's a wonderful passer. That's just what we like in our players. He's becoming an all-around player.
"I would predict his trajectory will land him into a pro environment in a year or two. He has a fifth year [at Georgetown] if he wants to take it."
In a rarity, Hope-Gund's twin brother Kofi, a goalkeeper, was on the Amherst College team that reached the Division III final against Tufts University (read the story). Amherst lost.
In contrast to Hope-Gund, Beer began as a center back, but Gonzalez and his staff moved him to an attacking role. Gonzalez called the Thornwood, N.Y. native a "very skillful player, silky smooth around the box. He can shoot with both feet and has always been a guy that has come through for us with big goals." As a 14-year-old, Beer was invited to the U.S. Under-14 national team, the same year he tallied 28 goals for NYSC, "which is pretty impressive," Gonzalez said.
Needless to say, Wiese has been impressed with Beer as well. The 5-9, 160-lb. forward started a handful of games, but was a vital contributor off the bench (three goals, four assists), connecting for the game-winning goal on a "fantastic" free kick, Wiese said, in a 3-1 victory over Providence College in the Big East final.
It should come as no surprise that Wiese has recruited from many EDP clubs. They're right in his backyard and he and his staff have experience recruiting the next college soccer stars.

21 century gave us an exceptional privilege of getting any kind of information in mere minutes without even leaving a room. At the same time, people can share their own knowledge with the community, which is especially easy to do by presenting this knowledge as screencasts. Icecream Screen Recorder is a purely genius way to capture all sorts of on-screen activities and showcasing the information in the most perceivable way possible. Check out this tutorial to learn how to screencast right.
First off, download Icecream Screen Recorder right from this page. The process is simple: just hit the "Download" button, save the setup file, run it and complete the installation as suggested by the Wizard. Once you complete that, launch the program and proceed with the screen capture process.
Most of the setting job is done in the Settings panel of this screen recording software which you can access by clicking the "Settings" button in the bottom right-hand corner of the main window. The program's settings are all divided into 5 tabs: System, Save to, Video, Audio and Hotkeys. The full guide on the customization of these settings before the actual screen capture can be found here.
To start screencasting, press the "Capture video" button in the middle of the main window.
Frame the area that you'd like to capture and release the mouse cursor as it's done. You can change the size and the position of the recording area before the recording of your screencast is started: you can use preset parameters like Full screen, 960p, 720p, 1024x768p, etc., or do it manually with the Custom option through the program's recording panel while the "Area" button is pressed and is active.
Here on the recording panel you can find the "Switch" button, press it to switch control from the screen recording software to your PC (it will activate the desktop and let you control your computer in a regular way). Note that if the "Hide desktop icons" is enabled in the Video tab of the Settings panel, you wouldn't be able to use the icons on your desktop as they will be hidden during the capture of your screencast.
The "Draw" button opens the Draw panel where you can use a number of the most needed drawing tools (brush, shapes, step tool, text). You are free to add graphics to your screencast within the selected area before and during the recording.
Use the "Undo" and "Clear all" buttons to cancel the latest changes or remove them all respectively.
Click the webcamera icon in the right-hand side part of the recording panel to open the webcamera window. Customize its size and the location within the frames of the recording area.
Once all the preparations are done, you can start screencasting. To do that, click the "Rec" button on the left of the recording panel. The process will be initiated immediately or after a three-second countdown (depends whether or not the "Show countdown" option was disabled in the Video tab of the Settings of this screen recorder).
This screen recording software offers zooming in and out of the selected recording area during the screen capture (unless you're recording in "Around mouse" recording mode). Press the magnifying glass icon with "+" symbol to zoom in, the magnifying glass with "-" symbol to zoom out. The current zoom level is shown to the right of these 2 buttons on the recording panel.
To enable, disable and/or adjust the sound level of audio and microphone, press the audio and microphone icons to open their control panels.
If you want to pause the video to switch to another web page or add extra graphics from the Draw panel, press the "Pause" icon, and then press "Resume" to continue. Once you recorded everything you wanted, hit the "Stop" icon and the process will be finished. You will see a popup notification in the bottom right corner of the screen (this notification will be displayed if the "Show notifications" option is enabled in the System tab of the Settings panel of this screen recorder) – click the folder icon in this window to check the screencast in the containing folder.
You can also open an output file in a default player by double clickingit in the History tab (to access it you need to close the control panel). Press the "CLEAR HISTORY" button in the bottom left corner to delete all the videos from history or hit the recycle bin icon to the right of the file to remove this actual file from the list.

Gibbons Earns Second Pro Contract
Port Vale right-back James Gibbons has agreed his second professional contract by accepting a new one-year deal at the club.
The 19-year-old signed professional forms last year and having starred in the reserves, he made his senior debut as a 60th minute substitute during a 4-0 FA Cup win against Hartlepool in December.
Gibbons will be aiming to make more of an impression next term as he battles for a spot in the line-up against captain Ben Purkiss and the experienced Adam Yates.
The young defender signed last year alongside goalkeeper Harry Pickering and striker Dan Turner.
Pickering has yet to force his way into first-team selection as of yet, but 18-year-old Turner was heavily involved this campaign, featuring 18 times, including three successive starts in the final three fixtures of the season.
And Turner was rewarded for making the step up as he penned a new one-year deal at the start of the month, with options to extend that.

The world of obsession and desire come to life in Yasuzo Masumura's screen adaptation of Junichiro Tanizaki's Manji. Demonstrating the power of iconography, the manji—a cross with hooked arms pointing in a single direction, and mirror image of the swastika—is easily misinterpreted in modern culture as the symbol for Nazism, though its origins date back to 2000 BC. The Sanskrit swastika denoted good fortune, and the ever-changing universe, contrasting the heavens and earth, night and day, in opposing though connected and balanced fashion. Buddhism adopted it as the "seal on the heart of Buddha," and the ancient Chinese wan symbolized the four points of the compass; circa 700 AD it became the character for the infinite (literally 10,000, or countless). Through its Buddhist origins, the Japanese took the manji as a symbol for enormous luck and protection against evil powers, while reversed, it signified grave misfortune.
As pointed out in the accompanying essay, for the purposes of the film, the form of the symbol is much more relevant than its historic meaning, as the protagonists in the story each have separate directions, yet are fixedly intertwined. Through the confessions of one of the characters, Manji explores the relationship between four people, all drawn together by an inescapable force. As she tells her story, a woman captivated by the beauty of another spins a tale of forbidden love, treachery and tragedy.
Sonoko Kakiuchi is the wife of a lawyer, who is taking amateur art classes as a way to escape her dull lifestyle in Osaka. While sketching the image of the Goddess of Mercy using a class model, her principle notes that the face is not that of her subject, but of another student. Mitsuko Tokumitsu is the woman she is drawing, an idyllic beauty who has captured her imagination. When rumors begin to circulate that the two women are having an affair, they finally meet and decide to play along with the speculation.
Married for her family's wealth, Sonoko's relationship with her husband isn't spiritually fulfilling. While there isn't any real animosity between them, there is a distinct lack of passion, so when Mitsuko agrees to accompany Sonoko home to pose for a new portrait, the housewife finds herself uncontrollably attracted to her, which begins their torrid affair. Sonoko's husband Kotaro objects to the situation, not quite grasping what is happening between the two women, but repulsed by the thought that they are lovers, an unnatural and taboo arrangement. Sonoko is not willing to give up her new partner, but things get more complicated when she discovers Mitsuko has another lover, a sly and manipulative young man who has his own dangerous obsession with her. A web of deceit begins to unravel, drawing the players ever closer in an intense spiral of jealousy and betrayal, with the inevitable consequences causing an abandonment of all sensibilities and reason.
Masumura was the first Japanese student to attend Italy's prestigious Centro film school, whose alumni include the likes of Michaelangelo Antonioni, Liliana Cavani and Dino de Laurentiis. Filmed in glorious scope, Masumura fills his screen with simple, yet effective compositions. The direction is even, with his cast of players, most of whom have a long association with the director, embodying their roles wonderfully, exuding the passion and turbulence caused by their tangled affair. The exposition is well paced, as twists in the plot emerge with each meeting. The melodrama is high in true Japanese fashion, as pacts and allegiances shift the balance of power throughout the picture. While able to capture the sensuality of his subjects, Masumura does so without excessive voyeurism or blatant sexuality. The result is an exquisite photoplay, rich in the pitfalls of human desire, with interesting and dire unexpected consequences.
Rating for Substance: B-
Image Transfer Review: The scope image is very good overall, somewhat soft, but natural in look. Fine grain is well preserved, colors are solid and well saturated, and black levels appropriate. Print defects are pretty minor, limited to a few jump frames and some specks here and there. Aliasing or shimmer are minimal at best, but there is some dot crawl in the reds or around high contrast areas, but not enough to prove distracting.
Mono Japanese no
Audio Transfer Review: Mono Japanese is presented fairly well, with most of its problems related to the source. Sync is off in places, there are some clicks and pops throughout, as well as the odd dropout. Sibilance is a bit excessive, and there is an edge of distortion at times. Frequency coverage is acceptable, but limited in range. Instrumentation in the score is well defined.

Extras Review: Extras include a decent biography and filmography for the director, the theatrical trailer, and an 11-image photo gallery. Menus feature simple animated inserts, with the central theme as background music; however this is fairly harsh sounding. The insert contains an essay which covers various aspects of the film, in particular the symbolism of the title, and contrasts to other films by the director.
Extras Grade: C
With a masterful sense of exposition, Yasuzo Masumura's Manji delves into the taboo of forbidden sexuality, weaving an intricate web of circumstances and relationships from which the only escape is in death. Splendid performances, exquisite cinematography, and an engaging storyline combine to create a very interesting film. Its only drawback for western audiences may be its reference to cultural ideologies, whose societal importance may not be as easily perceived by cultures less steeped in tradition.

Assessing the Risk of Yield Curve Inversion: An Update
Presentation (pdf) | Press Release | Photos
Video of Presentation | Audience Q&A (audio)
Transcript of Media Q&A (pdf)
In Glasgow, Ky., St. Louis Fed President James Bullard talked about the possibility that the yield curve would invert, which he first discussed in a speech on Dec. 1, 2017. "Since then, events have transpired that have flattened the yield curve further, and imminent yield curve inversion in the U.S. has become a real possibility," he said.
In particular, Bullard commented that there is "a material risk of yield curve inversion" over the forecast horizon (about 2 ½ years) if the FOMC continues on its present course for raising the fed funds rate, as suggested in the June 2018 Summary of Economic Projections. Such an inversion—whereby short-term interest rates exceed long-term interest rates—is a "naturally bearish signal for the economy," he said. He noted that yield curve inversion is best avoided in the near term by caution in raising the fed funds rate. "Given tame U.S. inflation expectations, it is unnecessary to push monetary policy normalization to such an extent that the yield curve inverts," he said.
Audience Q&A:
On a two-day trip to Glasgow, Ky., Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard visited with business and other civic leaders. Among his stops Thursday and Friday were at two manufacturers, a health "pavilion" in what was once a Walmart and a technology center due to open next month on the local high school's campus. Bullard frequently visits communities in the four zones that make up the St. Louis Fed's District. Glasgow is in the Louisville Zone.
One of the stops made by Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard (arms folded) on Thursday was at SpanTech LLC, which develops and manufactures conveyor systems and chain components. The company's chief operating officer, Tiffany Somerville, and co-worker Roger Judd explain the manufacturing process. Also participating on this tour (from the left) were Courtney Ingram, an intern at the Fed's Louisville Branch; Randy Schumaker, a member of the Branch's board of directors; and Nikki Jackson, a senior vice president of the St. Louis Fed and the regional executive of its Louisville Branch.

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard addressed more than 200 people on Friday at a breakfast sponsored by the Glasgow-Barren County Chamber of Commerce. His topic was the risk of a yield curve inversion, when short-term interest rates surpass long-term rates. An inversion "is a naturally bearish signal for the economy," he said.


In a nutshell, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) measures a company's ability to pay its debts with its current income.
Here's what DSCR is and how it works.
The DSCR is the ratio of a company's operating income to its debt payments. This is measured on an annual basis, so (for example) a company's Debt Service Coverage Ratio from 2018 would measure all of the company's income from that year against all the payments it made on debt in that same period.
This is expressed as a multiple of income to debt.
The Debt Service Coverage Ratio measures how well a company can service its debt with its current revenue. Analysts can use several different variants of the basic formula to calculate DSCR, depending both on the analyst's practice and on the firm under review.
The final ratio, as discussed above, is expressed as a multiple of the firm's income to debt ratio.
Here are the core terms involved in calculating a Debt Service Coverage Ratio.
This is the measure of a company's cash flow.
EBIT stands for "earnings before interest and taxes." It measures a firm's basic operating income, its revenue after paying for all basic expenses but before paying debt interest and taxes.
EBITDA stands for "earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization." It measures the cash flow of a business, its revenue after paying for basic expenses but before paying taxes, debt interest and capital asset depreciation.
Each is a basic statement of the firm's post-expense income.
This is the net amount of capital expenditures a company has made within this accounting period. A capital expenditure is an outlay of money to acquire or improve capital assets such as buildings and machinery.
This is the money that a firm has spent on its major, institutional investments. In some cases, analysts will exclude it from a firm's income for the purposes of a DSCR calculation. This is particularly common for capital-intensive industries, such as agriculture or construction, which may have large costs for new, upgraded or replacement capital expenditures.
This is the total amount of payments due on both short-term and long-term debt during the period of analysis. It includes both interest and principle.
Most analysts also include lease payments due during the period of analysis. This is particularly the case for industries with particularly large rental expenses such as in real estate and equipment.
For this example we will use a simplified DSCR calculation.
This is Company A's cash flow after it pays for its basic operating expenses. It excludes the company's taxes or payment on interest, giving us a basic statement of operational cash flow.
The DSCR measures how much of a company's debt it can pay with its ongoing revenue. In the case above, for example, Company A has 30% more operating cash than it needs to pay its annual debt payments.
It is written with an "x" after it to signify how many times over the company can pay its debts. In the case of Company A, this firm has enough net revenue to pay its debts 1.3 times over.
The company has negative operating capital to debt service. It makes less money than it needs to pay its annual debts, and will have to draw on pools of capital or outside lending to prevent business disruption.
The company has exactly enough money to pay its debts. It is not at risk of insolvency, but it also has little or no excess capital for investment or to cushion against a downturn.
The company has more annual income than it needs to cover its debt payments. The higher the DSCR rating, the more comfortably the company can cover its obligations.
As a general rule, a DSCR of 1.15 - 1.35 is considered good.
The main purpose of a DSCR is to assess a company's creditworthiness. Banks and other lending institutions use it alongside credit history while deciding whether to extend a loan, or may also use it when structuring a leveraged buyout.
In both cases the DSCR assesses how well a company can afford to pay a new obligation. A low ratio indicates that the company may not have enough excess income to make payments on new debt.
A high ratio indicates that the company has plenty of extra cash coming in, making it a good subject for credit. Except during times of particularly loose lending, banks generally require a good DSCR before extending a loan (as noted above, between a minimum of 1.15 - 1.35).

We have said many times that Lamborghini Countach is a car that deserves to make a comeback. Lamborghini proudly celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Countach, by launching a series about the model's history. The original Countach was produced for 16 years, and now that the automaker is reviving the legendary model, it's worth revisiting all versions of the original car, including some of the very obscure ones.
Mansory and MTM Give The Lamborghini Urus Bugatti Power
1,001 horsepower seems like a more appropriate number for the Urus
December 27, 2021 16:00 by Alina Moore
Lamborghini is known for building supercars. But, with 650 horsepower under the hood, its Urus SUV is not exactly supercar material. In fact, we can name a few SUVs that deliver a lot more power than the Urus. Think for example about cars like: Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat (710 horsepower), Jeep Cherokee Trackhawk (707 horsepower) or Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid (670 horsepower).
The guys over MTM, in collaboration with Mansory, came to fix this problem!
The Lamborghini Aventador's Successor Spied, And It Has A V-12!
It will come with a new hybrid powertrain, but will still be a V-12
When Lamborghini launched the special edition Aventador Ultimae LP 780-4, we knew the end of an era was coming. After a decade on the market, the Aventador is finally going to be retired. Previous rumors suggested that it will be the last Lamborghini model to feature a V-12 engine, but it looks that Lamborghini is not ready just yet to give up on the V-12.
A successor for the Aventador is right around the corner, and despite many rumors, it will continue offering a V-12 engine- it's a hybridized engine, that's true, but still a V-12.
Will an SUV-inspired design transform the Estoque Into a Success?
Would the Estoque go into production today if it had a more SUV-ish or wagon-like appearance?
December 9, 2021 10:00 by Alina Moore
Lamborghini started to explore the idea of entering new segments of the car market back in 2008 when it unveiled the Estoque concept car. It was not only the first front-engine vehicle to be introduced by Lamborghini since the LM002, but it was also a four-door coupe.
Customers weren't really into the idea of Lamborghini making a sedan, and because of the initial negative feedback, the Estoque never made it to production. Lamborghini did however enter new segments of the market with the launch of the Urus which turned out to be a huge success, so would things be different this time around?

We love celebrating car birthdays and this year is the Lamborghini Jalpa's 40th anniversary. The car that was once considered the entry-level Lamborghini has now become 40 years old, having been produced between 1981 and 1988. With only 410 units produced, it certainly is rare and prices have started to reflect that. Here's a brief overview of the 1980s "Baby Lambo".
The V-12 Hybrid Lamborghini Aventador Has Finally Been Spotted

November 12, 2021 14:42 by Khris Bharath
Back in July this year, Lamborghini debuted the LP780 Ultimae. Well, the name gives it away, doesn't it? The Lamborghini Ultimae is apparently the ultimate expression of the Aventador line and blends elements from the Aventador S as well as the Aventador SVJ.
It is the last Lamborghini to feature a naturally aspirated V-12 engine. However, while that car marks the end of the line for the glorious V-12, sort of, the folks at Santa Agata Bolognese say that the V-12 is destined to live on for some more time.
Would You Pay $875K For A Used Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster?
Are 2,300 miles really worth an extra $350,000?
November 11, 2021 14:00 by Alina Moore
When initially launched on the market back in 2019, the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster came with a starting price of $517,770! Quite an increase when compared to the Avantador S Roadster priced at $460,000. But it was all for the right reasons: more power, most aggressive look, improved performance figures.
But, Fusion Motor is trying to sell an SVJ Roadster with 2,300 miles on the odometer for $874,950. That's a little over $350,000 more than the new car!

Here are some of the Cheapest Lamborghinis Money can buy
Lamborghini's certainly aren't the cheapest models on the market, but you might not have to spend a fortune to actually own one
October 3, 2021 10:00 by Nicholas Waithaka
Economical and cost-effective are not the terms that come to mind when talking about Lamborghinis. As one of the premier automakers globally, Lamborghini produces sleek, high-performance models that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. The brand also has a rich history that entails rivalry with Italian supercar greats like Ferrari. This long-established pedigree translated into producing models from high-performance parts in the market. The overall cost of production would mean an even bigger price tag for the consumer. Secondly, Lamborghini has produced a reduced number of its models to keep up the exclusivity. Its rarity seals the fact that not everyone can own one, but, as the years progress, some of the older models lose their shine due to better technologies and standards. These cars have become somewhat obsolete and become attainable to members of the middle class.
October 1, 2021 18:00 by Khris Bharath
Lamborghini has resurrected the Countach LP500 prototype in this recreation based on the original, a car that was first revealed to the press at the 1971 Geneva Motor show. However, during subsequent testing, the supercar was destroyed.
But now, after 25,000 painstaking hours of restoration, Lamborghini has brought back the original LP 500 from the dead to celebrate the iconic car's 50th anniversary. The car seen here is using the underpinnings of a Aventador LPI 800-4.

I think we can all agree that the Lamborghini Huracan is a very capable supercar out of the box. Be that as it may, the people at 7X Design thought it would be a good idea to exploit the car's hardware to its fullest. Moreover, with help from Envisage Group from Coventry, the Huracan received a bespoke new body that seems to have been inspired by the Miura. The results, both visually and performance-wise, are mind-blowing.

The former head of the Kosovo Police Coordination Body, Nebojsa Covic, believes that there is evil coming for the Serbs in the north of Kosovo and that Pristina government, with the support of the foreign mentors, plan to "round off sovereignty on the entire territory of Kosovo and Metohija".
Covic, in his text for the Serbian Telegraf, recalled that this year is the year of two anniversaries, 70 years of NATO and 20 years of bombing of Serbia and, he adds, a great pressure has been exerted on Belgrade to agree on the agreement on normalization of relationships, which should result in mutual recognition.
- The crimes, the bombing of Serbia, of the USA, Great Britain and NATO would be washed away with that and numerous civilian and military victims of the bombing and enormous material damage would be placed ad acta - adds Covic.
Covic, among other things, reminds of the KFOR statement about the legitimacy of the activities of the Albanian forces in Kosovo, including northern municipalities with the majority Serb population.
He believes that because of this, the Serbian majority institutions should urgently send the demarche to the NATO Secretary General and the governments of the member states.
- This step should be taken as soon as possible for the following reasons: Pristina is preparing a big celebration of the "20th anniversary of liberation," and formed a special work group dealing with it, the "Queen mothers" of Kosovo project are coming - Madeleine Albright and Hillary Clinton, and the family Blair will be there", said the former vice prime minister of the government of Serbia.
Covic warns that the Pristina authorities will need some big step that has weight, which, bearing in mind the coordinated efforts of Britain and Germany to present northern municipalities as criminal environments and recent statements by KFOR leaders, is likely to complete the "sovereignty" across the entire territory of Kosovo and Metohija.
He adds that the associates of the American president Donald Trump have warned about this and this should be taken seriously, reminding that in the last NATO Council, Russia, China, and Donald Trump were presented as the main enemies of Alliance.
