Most Hollywood action movies cram in so much death and destruction that there isn't much room for character or plot development. If you watched the "Godzilla" trailers expecting it to tread the same path, you'll be happily disappointed with the result. "Godzilla" sets itself apart with good pacing, crisp action, and strong visual intelligence. But, the plot, characters, and a few cinematographic quirks knock it down a few steps from amazing.
The plot of "Godzilla" is unengaging and does a poor job of creating tension. From start to finish, the humans seem ancillary to the ancient, enormous animals duking it out. It could be argued that this plays into one of the major themes of the movie: man is powerless against nature despite our best efforts. However, the movie would have ended in just about the same way even if the human anti-giant monster task force hadn't been present, and that's a big problem. Rather than coming across as poetic or impactful, lack of human agency in "Godzilla" is frustratingly uninteresting.
One of the most disappointing aspects of "Godzilla" is its flat, boring characters. Brian Cranston does his best to deliver an energetic performance as Joe Brody, a scientist with something to prove, but an actor can only do so much with dialogue that's of dubious quality. At no point does "Godzilla" give you a solid reason to care about anyone other than Godzilla. The humans bumble about in precarious situations and hope for the best, but their struggles are hard to care about and they don't have much nuance. That isn't to say that the characters are terrible, it's just that all they do is move the plot along.
Considering all the serious one-liners in the film's trailers, viewers may have been expecting "Godzilla" to provide insightful meditation on man versus nature wrapped up in the excitement of a monster brawl. Unfortunately, the movie uses cheap quips in an attempt to provide thematic gravity to one of the most exciting pro-wrestling matches you'll ever see.
The visuals of the movie belie the quality of its plot and characters. One of the films saving graces is its ability to visually convey the sublime nature of each scene. This is where "Godzilla" derives the bulk of its value. The first scene is reminiscent of the start of "Jurassic Park" complete with a construction site, two scientists in pink and blue shirts, and intense discussion with a worried foreman. The adventure and amazement conveyed in those short minutes quickly gives way to a scene which could have been pulled from "Alien." While investigating an anamlous hole in the ground, scientists wander in hazmat suits over an enormous subterranean bone yard, and stumble upon a bio-mechanical looking structure oozing viscous gunk. The message early on is clear: "Godzilla" will take you on a thrilling adventure, but beneath that is the crippling horror of how powerless humanity is against nature.
The film's first arc builds artful visual evidence for what Ken Watanabe's character, Dr. Ichiro Serizawa, plainly states: "The arrogance of man is thinking nature is under our control, and not the other way around." This line is emobdied when Brian Cranston's character and his son, played by Aaron-Taylor-Johnson, wander through a city reclaimed by nature. Plants dominate the face of every building, wild dogs roam through the streets, and insects crawl over every facet of civilization.
The presence of the monsters is subdued compared to the glitz and adrenaline of other action movies, and this helps convey that they're products of our natural world that are wholly out of our control. When the first monster appears on screen, it makes no direct attempt to kill any humans, but inadvertently crushes a lot of them. "Godzilla" could have easily presented creatures focused on purposefully destroying humanity, but casting them as animals following their natural instincts is an enjoyably nuanced approach and helps build on the films themes.
The actual monster fights are a little overdramatic, but a whole lot awesome. The combat is always crisp, easy to follow, and uncluttered. The size and impact of the monsters themselves are conveyed in every punch and bite, and your jaw may even drop a few times. What muddles this experience is the director's insistence on slow, dramatic reveals and a handful of forced gotcha moments. When they work, they're highly effective, but they happen too frequently and may make you groan. Slowly panning upwards to reveal Godzilla's full size for the first time was perfectly executed, but the third or fourth moment a monster attacks from the fog or off-screen feels derivative.
If you're looking for an amazing cinematic experience this weekend, you shouldn't see Godzilla." But if you can forgive the bland parts, you'll be treated to gorgeous visuals and one of the best monster showdowns to grace the silver screen.

On Forts & Frontiers Battles
by Kimber VanRy
If the American War of Independence was the birth of the United States, the wars leading up to it were a long period of gestation. Pre American Revolution conflicts among French and British armies, European settlers, and Native American nations reveal a complicated narrative of shifting alliances, overlapping agendas and regional factionalism rarely covered in the story arc of America's founding. It's in this period, set in the largely unsettled backcountry of North America, where the clashes of many worlds set history in motion for the coming centuries.
Our forthcoming books Forts & Frontiers Battles will present at least ten historical scenarios to reenact battles of the French & Indian War (1756-63) and Pontiac's Rebellion (1763-1766). While scenarios have been made available over the years in various rule books, magazines, and board games, there is presently no one guide available that gives a player interested in the 18th-century American wilderness all they need for refighting tabletop miniatures battles of the period.
In the coming months we'll preview some of the scenarios, along with the books, articles, sites, and other influences that inspired us to bring these stories to life in miniature.

Starting Points: Intellectual and Institutional Foundations of Organization Theory
Bob Hinings, Renate E. Meyer
Department of Organization
This Element reviews the first 120+ years of organization theory, examining its development from the sociology of organizations and management theory. It is initially organized around two streams of thought. The first is found in political economy and the sociology of organizations with an emphasis on understanding the new organizations that arose in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The second derives from practitioner-scholars whose aim was to provide theories and approaches to managing these new organizations. The Element then shows how each of the streams of understanding and managing came together to produce organization theory. In doing this, it also describes how the institutional frameworks in academic associations, academic centres and journals came out of these approaches and how they strengthened the development of organization theory.

Q: I return Response with `status=HTTP_404_NOT_FOUND` but find the 201 In the views.py, I return Response with status=HTTP_404_NOT_FOUND:
class CloudServerCreateAPIView(CreateAPIView):
    serializer_class = CloudServerCreateSerializer
    permission_classes = []
    queryset = CloudServer.objects.all()

    def perform_create(self, serializer):

        return Response(data="There is no data left.", status=HTTP_404_NOT_FOUND, exception=Exception())

        serializer.save()

But when I request the API, I get HTTP 201 Created, not the 404:
POST /api/user_productmanage/cloudserver/create/
HTTP 201 Created
Allow: POST, OPTIONS
Content-Type: application/json
Vary: Accept

    "profile": "asdas",
    "buytime": 1,

}

A: Your 404 logic should not live in the perform_create. Perform create is mainly used to inject data you calculate elsewhere or user specific.
For instance serializer.save(user=self.request.user, date_time=datetime.now()).
Try moving your logic to create or post method. My suggestion would be to move it to post.
class CloudServerCreateAPIView(CreateAPIView):
    serializer_class = CloudServerCreateSerializer

    queryset = CloudServer.objects.all()

We demonstrate the collinear generation of few-femtosecond ultraviolet and attosecond extreme ultraviolet pulses via a combination of third-harmonic and high harmonic generation in noble gases. The ultrashort coherent light bursts are produced by focusing a sub-1.5-cycle near-infrared/visible laser pulse in two subsequent quasi-static noble gas targets. This approach provides an inherently synchronized pair of UV and XUV pulses, where the UV radiation has a photon energy of ~5 eV and a pulse energy of up to 1 μJ and the XUV radiation contains up to 3.5 ∙ 106 XUV photons per shot with a photon energy exceeding 100 eV. This source represents a novel tool for future UV pump/XUV probe experiments with unprecedented time-resolution.

Fig. 1 Collinear generation of UV and XUV pulses in two subsequent gas targets. The targets, formed by 2 to 3 mm thick nickel tubes, can be positioned independently (x1, x2). They are situated inside a main vacuum setup in a small, differentially pumped vacuum chamber with two apertures (Ø 0.7 mm) for the laser. The few-cycle 720 nm NIR pulses (sub-4 fs, 400 μJ) are focused into the XUV gas target (purple) which is supplied with 0.2 - 0.3 bar Ne. The UV target (blue) is placed in front of the XUV target and supplied with Ar or Ne at variable pressure. The number of XUV photons per pulse is measured with an XUV diode placed under 45° in the beam path of the co-propagating NIR, UV and XUV beams. The diode is coated with a filter layer that partially reflects the NIR and the UV through a fused silica window outside the vacuum system, where the UV can be characterized in spectrum and pulse energy after separation from the IR with a prism. For the measurement of the XUV an additional 500 nm zirconium filter is inserted in front of the diode. The diode can be retracted for spectral characterization of the XUV with a grazing incidence grating (600 l/mm) spectrometer.

(a) The detector strongly attenuates spectra above 115 eV, so that the cut-off of the spectrum lies outside of the detector's range for the spectra at 0 bar and 2.5 bar. With rising pressure in the UV target, the cut-off shifts toward lower energies with rising Ne pressure (bottom to top) in the UV target. (b) When Ar is being used for UV generation, the XUV cut-off also shifts toward lower energies when the pressure rises from 0 to 1 bar but remains constant for higher pressures.

Google, Facebook, Twitter Trying to Take Down Donald Trump, Conservative Group Lawsuit Alleges
By Jenni Fink On 9/4/18 at 5:00 PM EDT
Tech & Science Google Facebook Twitter Donald Trump
Freedom Watch, a conservative political action group, filed a lawsuit against Google, Facebook, Twitter and Apple for allegedly conspiring to limit advocacy by conservatives and those who support President Donald Trump.
The suit, filed in the District of Columbia on Wednesday, named the four internet giants as defendants and charged them with violating Section One and Two of the Sherman Act, the First Amendment, and Washington, D.C.'s discrimination law.
Freedom Watch also accused the internet entities of working with traditional media outlets, including CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times and The Washington Post to intentionally suppress "politically conservative content in order to take down Trump and his administration."
Due to the alleged conspiracy among the tech giants, Freedom Watch claimed its' growth on social media platforms came to a "complete halt" and its audience base and revenue plateaued or diminished.
"It has been revealed that Defendants, each and every one them, have engaged in a conspiracy to intentionally and willfully suppress politically conservative content," the lawsuit stated.
Congress enacted the Sherman Act in 1890 in an effort to prevent concentrations of power from interfering with economic competition and trade. Section One of the law made it illegal for a contract, combination of entities or conspiracy to restrict trade or commerce. If found guilty, a corporation faces a fine of up to $100,000,000 and an individual person can be fined up to $1,000,000 or up to 10 years in prison.
"Defendants, each and every one of them, have conspired and illicitly agreed to refuse to deal and suppress media content and advocacy from Freedom Watch and those similarly situated members of the class," the lawsuit stated.
Due to the defendants alleged "conscious parallelism," Freedom Watch argued that the availability of conservative media and news content is "severely limited and suppressed."
Section Two of the Sherman Act prevents monopolizing trade or commerce, punishable by the same sentences as Section One. Freedom Watch's lawsuit alleges that the defendant knowingly engaged in an "exclusionary course of contact" in an effort to "destroy effective competition."
According to the lawsuit, evidence that the companies have violated the Sherman Act included:
YouTube demonetizing conservative accounts without specifying why
PJ Media study that showed 96 percent of Google search results for "Trump" were from liberal media outlets
Twitter banning right-wing accounts but ignoring similar behavior from left-wing accounts
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg being unable to answer who his biggest competitor is when asked by Senator Lindsey Graham during his testimony
Under Washington, D.C.'s, anti-discrimination law, it's illegal to discriminate against someone based on their political affiliation, which Freedom Watch claimed was exactly what the social media and search engine did. None of the companies had yet responded to the lawsuit.

On August 29, the conservative group Freedom Watch filed a lawsuit against Google, Facebook, Twitter and Apple alleging that they are trying to take down Trump by censoring content.

"Defendants have denied Freedom Watch the full and equal enjoyment of the services, privileges, and advantages that they provide to persons which they perceive to not be affiliated with the Republican Party," the lawsuit stated.
Given that Facebook, Twitter, Google and Apple "operate and control public platforms" designed to be a forum of free speech, Freedom Watch argued that they act as "quasi-state actors" and the regulation of the platform is equivalent to regulating free speech. The conservative group said its free speech rights were violated because content was censored "for purely political reason."
Freedom Watch's lawsuit requested the judge to rule in its favor and award damages of over one billion dollars. Larry Klayman, the founder of Freedom Watch, worked as an antitrust lawyer during former President Ronald Reagan's administration and helped break up AT&T's telephone monopoly.
He previously sued Facebook and Zuckerberg for one billion dollars after he claimed the social media site wasn't quick enough to take down a web page that threatened to kill people who were Jewish, according to the New York Times.
While he's gained a reputation for being quick to file a lawsuit and only winning a handful of times, in 2013, he sued the National Security Agency (NSA) and won. A federal judge agreed with Klayman's argument that the NSA overstepped its constitutional authority by gathering telephone records of Americans.

It could be time to investigate the structure of China's financial markets if volatility lasts beyond its current rollercoaster ride, Italy's Finance Minister told CNBC.
Speaking to CNBC on the sidelines of the European House-Ambrosetti Forum on Sunday, Italian Finance Minister Pier Carlo Padoan said he's otherwise calm about recent market moves triggered in part by fear of a Chinese slowdown following a raft of disappointing domestic economic data.
Italian Finance Minister Pier Carlo Padoan speaks to CNBC's Julia Chatterley on the sidelines of the European House-Ambrosetti Forum.
"There's not much concern, we all are aware...that as the economy shifts away from an investment-driven to a consumption-driven economy the overall growth rate goes down, but it goes down to a more sustainable, long-term growth rate, which is a little bit less than 7 percent," Padoan said.
"That would be a very healthy growth rate for China but also for the world economy."
China is headed for its slowest economic expansion in 25 years in 2015 and turmoil in the country's markets have sent global financial markets skittering.
Volatility would otherwise go away once this economic transition is complete, Padoan explained.
But if markets continue to founder, it may be time to take action.
"Then we would have to ask ourselves, are there underlying structural factors that need to be fixed in the financial system.
"But from that point of view, I think the Chinese authorities are very much in a cooperative and open mood."
As for how long is too long, Padoan said it would be clear when the time comes.
"I always define length after it's happened."


"I'm always here whether here or there."
I spent much of last month connecting to my hometown's Main Street webcam. The adjacent browser tab continuously updated their latest weather report, which I'd dutifully report to a largely disinterested Muse. I could see the shadows of that usual gang gathering at the Starbucks to loudly recount the prior day's sports events, a distraction I despise when I'm tucked in the corner writing there, but those shadows seemed warmly attractive from so very far away. Each subsequent snowfall would leave the sidewalk snowbanks a little taller and Main Street a little slipperier. That webcam became my primary window on the world, more informative than a long gaze out of my own window. HomeSick works like this.
Most sicknesses involve an excess presence, but HomeSick arises from the opposite of that, an excess absence. I'd spent ten months away this time, postponing several visits for good and valid reasons, before I'd apparently reached my tolerance limit. Food increasingly disinterested me. I'd forget breakfast and lunch and only feel prompted for supper because I'd agreed to make it. Then, I'd eat perhaps half my portion, creating a stream of leftovers my missed lunches would never catch up with. I slept poorly, too, waking from alarming dreams to wander the wee hours. Between checking that Main Street webcam, afternoons went on nearly forever. HomeSick seems to produce a deepening dissociation, where self and presence become unplugged for a time.
The Muse and I visited, which seems to have dispelled the symptoms for now. I'm learning to not take these alarming effects too awfully seriously, for they might demonstrate my abiding positive affiliation with the longed-for place, showing a fealty which never really shows itself in the absence of any long absence. Maybe absence really does make the heart grow fonder. Over-extended, these absences sort of threaten to beatify the longed for place, perhaps more than they're really due. I doubt that I could abide living in a place as attractive as my HomeSick projections produce. The place never was anybody's Heaven on Earth, though it mostly felt a little closer to Heaven than any other place I'd ever landed. The season I'd been peeking into typically features weeks of smothering fog which in my youth carried coal smoke smell. Flights in from Seattle sometimes turn around after peering down into the miasma, unable to find solid ground. The sun won't shine for weeks on end. The horizon disappears into a claustrophobically close distance.
Hearts long for whatever they choose to long for. They do not rely upon rational exposition to justify their wanderings. They form the sort of attachments your mother warned you against and shamelessly flout them. I suppose I could mindfully discipline myself out of contracting these periodic bouts of HomeSick, but I do not really consider them evidence of dysfunction. They represent a different functioning, serving a similar purpose as a homing beacon. I suspect that I'll never lose the compass reading and relative longitude denoting the distance between where I am and Home. For most of my absences, these readings serve as useful information, a way of sorting my space, helping me find presence. During my HomeSick times, this same information shifts into radical definition, and my internal alarms start sounding. I then become close to obsessed with silencing those warning klaxons. I simply must head back home.
This connection continues even in my more extended absences. My orientation remains true. The batteries powering my orientation system seem to require periodic recharging, that's all HomeSick signals. I might feel suffocated but suffer no real danger of suffocating. I'm running on a thin mix of oxygen then, one capable of sustaining me but also of deeply alarming me. I head back and relearn the fundamental distinctions between there and wherever else I might find myself. I'm always here whether here or there.

Het Nicolaas-Perervinskiklooster (Russisch: Николо-Перервинский монастырь) is een voormalig Russisch-orthodox klooster in het zuidelijke deel van Moskou. Het klooster is gewijd aan de heilige Nicolaas.

Geschiedenis
In de archieven wordt voor het eerst melding gemaakt van het klooster op de plaats in 1623, maar aangenomen wordt dat het klooster al ten minste een eeuw eerder bestond. De naam "Perervinski" werd afgeleid van het Russische werkwoord 'onderbreken' en wordt verklaard met het feit dat de Moskva op deze plek regelmatig van loop veranderde. Het klooster won in het midden van de 17e eeuw aan belang en groeide vooral tijdens de eeuwwisseling toen de patriarch het klooster als zomerresidentie verkoos en de Nicolaaskathedraal (1696-1700) liet bouwen. Op het terrein van het klooster werd in 1775 een theologisch seminarie geopend. De grote Kathedraal van de Moeder Gods van Iveron werd pas in de jaren 1904-1908 gebouwd. Architect van het in Byzantijnse stijl opgetrokken gebouw was Pjotr Vinogradov. Het klooster werd in 1920 gesloten, op het terrein werd een speelgoedfabriek gevestigd en de kerken werden gedeeltelijk vernield. In de jaren 90 werden de haveloze gebouwen teruggegeven aan de Russisch-orthodoxe Kerk en werd het complex gerestaureerd. Hervatting van erediensten vond plaats in 1991.

If you're looking for new flooring, you've probably already found a natural hardwood that you like the appearance of. The problem with many natural hardwoods, especially the exotic or rare ones, is that they can be terribly expensive.
Engineered hardwood and laminate are both usually cheaper than natural hardwood and can give you the same appearance as that natural hardwood you like. How do you choose between laminate and engineered hardwood flooring, though? It might help if you can get a side-by-side comparison of the pros and cons of both.
Engineered hardwood uses less actual wood than natural wood.
One of the selling points of engineered hardwood is that it's more eco-friendly than natural wood. Engineered hardwood is produced in a way that generates less wood waste per square foot, so fewer trees have to be cut down to produce it.
Engineered hardwood uses a thin strip of natural wood as the top layer instead of a printed image.
This means that the appearance of the natural hardwood you liked can be duplicated without the risk of it peeling off of your flooring or looking fake. The natural wood can also be sanded and refinished if it shows signs of minor damage..
Engineered hardwood can increase the resale value of your home.
Home buyers like it because it looks good and it's more durable than laminate. Engineered hardwood is an especially good investment if you own a home with a higher value and want to protect that value.
It's more expensive than laminate.
While not quite as pricey as exotic natural hardwoods, it might not be an option if you need new flooring but you're on a tight budget right now.
It's more difficult to install than laminate.
Most engineered hardwood options need to be stapled or glued to the floor to make it stay in place. Laminate just has an interlocking pattern that pretty much does the same job.
Watch out for inferior options.
Some engineered hardwoods can be purchased at bargain prices, but they may be cheaply manufactured and less capable of holding up to routine wear and tear.
Laminate is one of the cheaper flooring options.
Some thinner laminate flooring options can sell for as low as 50 cents per square foot. If you want quality laminate flooring without paying much, though, you might aim for thicker segments that can cost between $1 and $2 per square foot.
Laminate can be installed in a way that makes it moderately water-resistant.
While laminate isn't the most water-resistant flooring out there, it can be installed without seams so that water has a difficult time penetrating down into the lower layers to cause hidden water damage.
Laminate has a tough top layer that makes it resistant to normal wear and tear.
The top layer is coated with a clear material designed to take the wear and tear for the material underneath. That makes it more resistant even to accidental damage caused by mistakes made while moving furniture.
It can't be refinished if it is damaged.
Unlike engineered hardwood, the layers under the tough protective top layer can't be repaired, refinished or sanded if they are damaged. You can tell if it's old laminate if the wood image is damaged in some way and you can see the layers underneath.
The resale value isn't as high as engineered hardwood.
All other things being equal, the value of the home might drop if the floor is laminate and not engineered hardwood.
Sometimes you can spot a fake.
The printed wood patterns used on laminate only have a few variations, so an attentive expert might be able to spot places where these variations are repeating themselves. For this reason, the installation professional should be aware that it is laminate so he can avoid putting segments with the same pattern next to one another.
So, which should you choose? If you have the extra home improvement budget to pay for both materials and installation costs and if you care about the value of the home, go for the engineered hardwood. Just be aware of what you're buying and don't try to save money by cutting corners with either the engineered hardwood or the installation or you will regret it. Laminate is good for people who intend to live in their homes for a while instead of planning to sell within the next few years and don't want to spend a lot on a new floor right now, but it may not last as long as engineered hardwood because it can't be sanded or refinished.

Miss Tolima takes miss colombia swimsuit contest victory (VIDEO)
by Rob Edmond November 12, 2012
Miss Colombia hopefuls on Sunday concluded the swimsuit competition, the penultimate round of the national beauty pageant held in coastal city Cartagena.
Taking victory was the representative from Tolima, Karol Sanchez Quintero, with almost 17.5% of the online public votes closely followed by Miss Magdalena who received almost 16% of the votes.
The winner was selected mainly for the "tone and harmony" of her body mainly, among other things, by a panel of judges including a gang of TV personalities and a plastic surgeon.
The favorites tipped to take the crown include Miss Bogota, who is said to be very popular among the public, Miss Norte de Santander, also known as Miss Attitude, and Miss Meta, who dreams of taking protecting the plant life of Colombia single handed.
The final will take place tonight when one of the 25 hopefuls will be crowned, however, there will still be time for one last swimsuit parade by the 10 semi-finalists before the new Miss Colombia is chosen.

Trump's Trade War With China Could Cost the Average Family Up to $2,300 a Year, Report Estimates
Time May 14, 2019
President Donald Trump's trade war with China could cost the average American family of four up to $2,300 a year, according to a report on the effect of tariffs on the U.S. economy and workers.
The study, by the economic consulting firm Trade Partnership Worldwide, assesses how tariffs will affect American consumers and the economy. According to the report, an average American family of four would pay $2,300 more in goods and services each year if Trump imposes a 25% tariff on all goods from China, as he has repeatedly threatened. If tariff levels remain where they are today, the average American family is expected to pay about $770 in higher costs each year the tariffs remain in place, says Laura Baughman, a co-author of the study and president at Trade Partnerships Worldwide.
The findings come as Trump and China have both escalated the trade dispute in recent days. As U.S. and Chinese negotiations met in Washington last week, Trump announced that he was raising tariffs from 10% to 25% on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods. China responded with a plan to increase tariffs on $60 billion in U.S. exports. Then, on Monday, the Trump Administration outlined plans to impose additional tariffs on another $300 billion worth of Chinese imports, providing a list of products that include apparel, children's toys, crafting products, sports equipment and shoes. That amounts to tariffs on virtually all Chinese imports.
The U.S. imported almost $540 billion in goods from China in 2018, while exporting $120 billion. Meanwhile, the U.S. imported $18 billion in services from China in 2018, while exporting almost $59 billion, though services are not directly affected by tariffs.
Researchers calculated the cost of the trade war on families by estimating the total value of the increased price of goods and services after the tariffs are implemented and dividing that by the average number of families of four. They found that costs will skyrocket if Trump follows through on his threat to extend the tariffs to other goods, including apparel, footwear and consumer electronics. The costs were calculated for one to three years after the tariffs take effect.
But that just takes into account the increased cost of buying things produced in China. Baughman says the total economic costs on American families will be far higher––the result of a combination of job losses, slower economic growth and a drop in exports due to China's retaliatory tariffs.
"There's a ripple effect to this because of tariffs," she says. "If you look at the sectors, the big job losses are in services because it's about people not going out to dinner, putting off surgery or not using Uber or the subway because they're not going to the office anymore."
The tariffs Trump has already imposed are both widespread and steep enough that importers will have to pass on at least some of the increased costs to consumers. There will also be knock-on effects, says Baughman.
"It's such a huge value of goods that it's not really possible for importers or retailers to absorb price increases to 25%," she says. "In addition, U.S. manufacturers who compete with China can raise prices, too. Now, their competition costs more," she adds. "All of these price increases ripple through the economy in the form of higher costs for goods and services that are all tied in some way, directly or indirectly, to imports from China."
Gary Hufbauer, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics whose own calculations are in line with the Trade Partnership Worldwide's findings, says consumers will feel the immediate impact of increased prices on items they commonly buy, such as apparel and electronics, though they are unlikely to feel as directly the higher costs of imported raw materials or equipment, which go into a wide range of products with the "made in America" label.
Where American consumers will feel a real hit, Hufbauer says, are in job losses. The Trade Partnership Worldwide study found that the U.S. faces a net loss of more than 2.2 million jobs if all tariffs continue and cause a sales decline.
"You lose that many jobs and you're probably going to cut the growth of the GDP by at least a half percent," he says. "The unemployment impact will hit on new entrants to the job market. Those are the people who notice. For the people who are employed, it makes relatively little difference."

Student Arrested in Connection With Cyber Attacks on Miami-Dade Public Schools
A 16-year-old junior at South Miami Senior High School facing charges in cyber attacks
By Ari Odzer, Tony Pipitone and Brian Hamacher	• Published September 3, 2020 • Updated on September 3, 2020 at 5:00 pm
Authorities have arrested a 16-year-old student who they say is responsible for a series of cyber attacks on Miami-Dade Public Schools
The teen, a junior at South Miami Senior High School, is facing multiple charges
Officials said the district has been the target of more than a dozen distributed denial of service attacks since the 2020-2021 school year began
A student has been arrested in connection with a series of cyber attacks on Miami-Dade County Public Schools that have disrupted the district's first week of online classes.
The student, a 16-year-old junior at South Miami Senior High School, was arrested Thursday morning and faces charges of computer use in an attempt to defraud and interference with an educational institution, district officials said.
Officials said the district has been the target of more than a dozen distributed denial of service attacks since the 2020-2021 school year began.
US Capitol Riot 3 hours ago
MDCPS Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said the district suffered a DDoS attack on the first day of distance learning Monday morning as a software glitch blocked access to the district's servers. The glitch and DDoS attack rendered multiple online school district features useless and teaching nearly impossible, as the district moved to online learning amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The FBI and Secret Service were called in to investigate along with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Carvalho said. He added that the glitch had been completely resolved and optimized.
"I commend our detectives, the FBI, Secret Service, and FDLE for their tireless efforts to pursue those responsible for these attacks. It is disheartening that one of our own students has admitted to intentionally causing this kind of disruption, however, I am confident that the M-DCPS family will continue to show its resilience and commitment to education, in the face of adversity," Carvalho said in a statement Thursday.
Detectives were able to trace an IP address responsible for the attacks to the teen's home, officials said. The teen admitted to using a tool to attack the district's computer network, an arrest report said.
Officials said the teen is responsible for at least eight of the attacks, and investigators are working to determine whether other individuals besides the teen are responsible.
"We believe, based upon our investigation, that other attackers are out there. We will not rest until every one of them is caught and brought to justice," Miami-Dade Schools Police Chief Edwin Lopez said in a statement. "Cyber attacks are serious crimes, which have far-reaching negative impacts. Our message to anyone thinking of attempting a criminal act like this is to think twice. We will find you."
At a news conference Thursday afternoon, Carvalho said investigators confiscated some devices from the teen that were being forensically analyzed. Carvalho said the last attack on the district's system happened around 3 a.m. Thursday.
Carvalho also added that there were possible cyber attacks coming from foreign nations, including potentially Russia, Ukraine, China, Iraq and maybe others.
"These attacks are sophisticated, they are relentless, and they have a deep impact but the acquisition of the resources to launch them isn't that difficult," Carvalho said.
One of the charges the teen faces is a third-degree felony that, if prosecutors moved him to adult court, could result in up to five years in prison. The Miami-Dade County State Attorney's Office said no decision has been made on that.
Carvalho said students and teachers should have an easier time accessing the system Friday.
"I expect, as we had today, continuous improvement of the experience for the students going into tomorrow, the system today was much more stable," he said. "We are in a a process right now obviously of trying to understand better the percentage of culpability and responsibility attributable to the new platform with its inherent first day glitches versus the interference caused by these DDOS attacks."

KENS anchor-turned-Fox News star reacts to Trump's sex scandals
By Jeanne Jakle
Updated 4:36 pm CDT, Monday, April 23, 2018
In her new memoir, Ainsley Earhardt stresses her faith and how it led her to her dream job of anchoring Fox News' signature news program "Fox & Friends," a go-to show for President Trump.

Faith, the Bible and family values dominate the soon-to-be-released autobiography of former San Antonio newscaster Ainsley Earhardt, now the co-host of famously conservative national morning show "Fox & Friends."
Also prominent in "The Light Within Me," which goes on sale Tuesday, are loving words about Fox News Channel, the network that eventually provided her with what she describes as her dream job, a seat on that curvy couch next to co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade.
She also writes admiringly of her show's best known fan, President Donald Trump.

Her unwavering support of Trump on TV and in her book might register as odd to many considering Earhardt's descriptions of her fervent efforts to stay on the straight-and-narrow. By contrast, the morality of Trump's actions has come into question repeatedly before and during his presidency.
In "The Light Within Me," the South Carolina native attributes every major step taken in her 41 years — from her choice of a college major (journalism) to each rung of her broadcasting career, including two years as morning co-anchor on KENS and her subsequent 11 years on Fox News Channel — to the belief that her closest confidante, God, has shown her the right path.
Her memoir is even dedicated to "my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ."
A pivotal point in her life, Earhardt writes, was a weekend in the mountains with college pals. She relates how one night in 1997 changed her life.
"Music blared, a fire was going, I could smell marijuana. Everyone was drinking and laughing at things that suddenly struck me as inappropriate.
"Instead of being in the middle of the fun, I found myself thinking 'What would Jesus think if He walked in right now? What would my Dad think?' I thought about all the Christians in my life whom I adored and wondered what they would do in this situation."
She walked out, sat down outside and prayed. Earhardt described her life up until then as being "trapped at the bottom of a slimy pit, and no matter how hard I tried to grip the sides and climb out, I kept falling in deeper." But on that night "with snow falling around me, I felt God throw down a rope ladder and help me out of that pit once and for all. This is what I had been searching for all of my life."

Such spiritual devotion helps define Earhardt; it also seems to fly in the face of her effusive praise of Trump.
In her pre-election chapter "Front Row-Seat to History," about interviewing him in her first year on "Fox & Friends," Earhardt describes Trump as a man "who genuinely cared about others."
Yet he has been plagued by allegations of affairs and sexual misconduct throughout his three marriages and was recorded making lewd comments about women before his presidential run.
Most recently, adult film star Stormy Daniels has been speaking out in the media about attempts by Trump's lawyer to silence her allegation that she had sex with the future president not long after his wife, Melania, gave birth to their son.
"We're all flawed, and no one is perfect," Earhardt said when the topic was raised in a phone interview. "If you look at Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, those were America's choices. She lied about not having an email server."
When reminded that it's Trump, not Clinton, who's leading the country, Earhardt conceded that she does "not condone adulterous behavior by any stretch of the imagination.
"But I think based on what I've heard from conservatives, they chose him because they believe in his policies. If you look at the Kennedys, if you look at Bill Clinton, I think our country has decided or learned that we are all flawed, that we all have imperfections, and if all of that were revealed about each one of us, we would all be tainted. No one is perfect."
But does it bother her when we keep hearing about his indiscretions?
"Of course, if a man cheats on his wife, that bothers me," she said. "If this did occur with Stormy Daniels, no one supports that. … (I) don't know any woman who'd support that. We can look at Melania and feel bad for her."
People support Trump because of his policies, his conservative justices, she added. "That's what evangelicals have told me."
She mentioned a poll stating that 78 percent of evangelicals still support the president.
"What I'm hearing from conservative friends is his policies matter more than what he does behind the scenes in his personal life."
As for another major influencer in her book, the man who hired her, Roger Ailes, Earhardt is quite candid about her conflicted feelings about the longtime Fox News leader. His career, of course, ended in disgrace in 2016 amid shocking sexual harassment allegations by women who worked for him. He died the following year.
Although she writes fondly of Ailes, whom she says she'll always be grateful to for the opportunity at Fox News, she states she was "shocked" and "saddened" to learn of the accusations that led to his fall. "From the first day I met him, he was always a father figure and a mentor. But clearly that was not the experience other women had with him, and upon hearing their stories, my heart broke for them."
She even quotes a passage from the Bible: "Numbers 32:23 says 'You may be sure that your sin will find you out.'"
On a lighter note, Earhardt brushed off the various TV spoofs of "Fox & Friends," which poke fun at her and her co-hosts' unfailing support of Trump and his policies, as well as indications that the president is a faithful viewer, such as his tweets about what they discuss.
Animated versions of the Fox trio are featured on Stephen Colbert's comedy "Our Cartoon President" on Showtime, and as recently as February, "Saturday Night Live" lampooned the mutual admiration of Trump and Earhardt, Doocy and Kilmeade.
"Honestly, I just laugh," she said. "That stuff doesn't bother me. … I'm not here to make everyone love me. I wish they would.
"You have the choice, you don't have to watch us. I think there is a need for what we do every morning, and I'm proud of the product we produce."

Founded in 1840, the Huay Kuan's main objectives are to promote education, provide social welfare and preserve and promote Chinese language and culture. From its founding leaders: Tan Tock Seng, Tan Kim Ching, Tan Kah Kee, Tan Boo Liat, Tan Lark Sye, Wee Cho Yaw, Chua Thian Poh to the present President, Tan Cheng Gay, the Huay Kuan has steadfastly held on to its beliefs and continues to contribute towards the community and nation building.
In the 19th century, trade winds fanned the flames of diaspora from China's Fujian province to many parts of South East Asia. One of these promising lands is the free trade heartland of Singapore. Many of these early settlers arrived in this foreign land alone and thus brought about the rise of clan associations. The Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan was no different. It provided critical assistance in securing accommodations, jobs and burial services for the early immigrants.
While adopting many customs of the foreign land, these new xinke (新客) also brought with them their native traditions and cultures. This heritage legacy is something which we should all be proud of.

Q: Extjs add div into a window i would like to add a new div tag by clicking a button, but it doesnt work.
I have a web desktop from extjs and two modules. One window like the following code, with 1 div [20,20]. And a second window with a button and handler to add a new div tag in the first window. But it doesnt work.
            win = desktop.createWindow({
            id: 'firstwindow',
            title: 'firstwindow',
            width: 421,
            height: 391,
            divs: [{
                x: 20,
                y: 20
            }],

and so on..
and here the code for adding a div in the firstwindow by clicking button in the second window
                handler: function(){
                    if (Ext.getCmp('firstwindow')) {

                        Ext.getCmp('firstwindow').add({
                            divs: [{
                                x: 20,
                                y: 40
                            }]
                        })
                        Ext.getCmp('firstwindow').render();
                        console.log(Ext.getCmp('firstwindow'));
                    }
                }

Thanks in advance,
cheers,
Thomas

A: The add method you are using is used to add a ExtJs component into the container (in your case  its Window). You cannot create a DIV tag using the add method.
In ExtJS you can create a component and add it to the container. If you need to modify the DOM, you will have to update the el property. By default, in ExtJS its a DIV tag. You can override this by the autoEl config.
A possible solution:
Now, If you want to repeatedly create a DIV tag with some content in it and rendered dynamically, you can take the help of DataView. Create a Template with your DIV and its child.. load data into the store and finally render them or update DataView in your window.

A: I think you must use Ext.getCmp('firstwindow').doLayout() instead of Ext.getCmp('firstwindow').render()


The AIX "bootlist" command can be used to select the boot disk. This is useful if you want to test different AIX levels on the same system.
** Comment: In practice, I recommend the following "bootlist" syntax which specifies that if hdisk0 fails to boot, try booting from hdisk1, then tape, and finally CD ROM.


Mission San José was moved twice from its original site until it was finally built at its present location, set back from the temperamental river to a place on a small rise. At this time, it entered into a period of great achievement. Mission San José became the showplace of the Southwest.
The present church of Mission San José was begun in 1758 with the cornerstone laid by Governor Don Hugo Oconor and Gaspar José Solis, a Franciscan inspector. It was not completed until 1782 but became "the most beautiful church along the entire frontier of New Spain.


Who can you sue in case of a defective product injury in Frederick, MD?
Suffering a defective product injury in Frederick, MD, is unfortunate, but you now have the option of receiving compensation for your injury, pain, and suffering, lost wages, treatment, etc. But the first thing you must do is to determine who you should sue (the person/company that is liable). With the help of your personal injury lawyer from Frederick, MD, you can find who is at fault for the defect, and together you can make them pay you compensation.
Your Frederick injury lawyer will explain to you that according to the consumer law, you can include in your injury claim any and all parties that were involved in the chain of distribution. In the next part, you will find possible entities that participated in the chain of distribution of the defective product that caused your injury. You can also ask your personal injury attorney from Frederick, MD, to help you formulate your product liability claim.
The company that created the defective product is the first from the chain of distribution. Usually, the manufacturer is now a big multinational company. This also means that they probably have an insurance policy which is different from standard ones. Large enterprises tend to only to purchase components and assemble products. That is why you should take notice of the manufacturer and the parts that were defective and caused you an injury. A good example your Frederick injury attorney will give is the motorcycle battery injury. In this case, your claim can be addressed against the vehicle manufacturer and the battery manufacturer (and all other chain distribution participants). With the help of your Frederick injury lawyer, you can file your injury claim and increase the compensation you receive as much as possible.
You can also address your claim against the retail store from where you bought the defective product. Most people think that the retailer is innocent, but they are just as responsible for selling the injury-causing product as the manufacturer. According to the law, you don't have to choose who is responsible for your injuries. All parties from the chain of distribution can become singular defendants in your case.
And even if you purchase a product from a used goods supplier, you can still sue the provider (depending on the product). Your personal injury attorney from Frederick, MD, can help you determine if the supplier can be held responsible or not.
Generally, between the manufacturer and retailer, there are a series of other entities that handle the product, such as wholesalers, supplier, distributors (the so-called middlemen). All entities that were involved in distributing the defective and dangerous product that caused your injury are potentially liable. Your Frederick injury attorney can help establish the chain of distribution and create a valid defective products injury claim.
For more information about defective products and what your options are, you can contact the best personal injury lawyer from Frederick, MD, at (443) 569-3950 or via email [email protected].
