MEMPHIS, Tenn. — There's a middle school basketball player making a name for herself each time she steps on the court.
Coaches compare the rising 7th grader to high school athletes.
In a game where strong fingers and hands are crucial to performance, Savannah Scruggs handles the ball better than most players even though she was born with only one fully developed hand.
There's no rest for the 12-year-old this summer.
She trains hard, building her strength and endurance in the gym.
Her workout routine is a challenge even for the best of athletes.
"I have to really work really, really hard. I have to push myself to continue to keep growing so that I could be better and continue to grow and get better," Scruggs said.
She puts in the work at the gym so that she can shine on the basketball court.
"When I first saw her I was like, 'This lady is incredible.' She's not only a great athlete, but she's an athlete who had advanced adversities," personal trainer Sherika Holmes said.
"The thing that I remember most is the nurses all yelling, 'Abnormality, abnormality.' I knew something was wrong when they were saying that word. When I first saw her, they were saying left hand normality. That's when I noticed that she was born with her small left hand," Scruggs' mother, Tiara Freeman, said.
Doctors did surgery on Scruggs when she turned 2-years-old.
They took a bone out of her foot, and put it in her hand. That gave her mobility.
The 12-year-old took it from there. She never let her uniqueness stand in the way and picked up her first basketball at 7-years-old.
"We were at the house, and my uncle just put a basketball in my hand and just started showing me how to play," she said.
Scruggs' left hand never grew like her right hand, but that didn't stop this shooting guard from dribbling, passing and scoring.
"When I first coached her, I never even noticed. She just played, and then I looked really, really close. I was like, 'Wow,' because she can do everything," Scruggs' coach, Mario Strickland said.
"I feel like, as long as you can work hard and put your mind to it, you can do anything. I don't feel like it's a disadvantage. I feel like if you want to be like everyone else, then you just have to put in the work and work hard," she said.
Scruggs works hard, because her goal isn't to just compete on local basketball courts.
She wants to be able to play with the best players in the country.
Her mother says, after seeing Shaquem Griffin become the first player drafted in the NFL with one hand, it inspired Scruggs even more.
"That was very inspirational and motivational for us. We've been following his story for a while, and just to know that he was drafted was exciting," Freeman said. "We were literally jumping up and down. This is just a door that has opened up for Savannah's future."
The future is so bright that college coaches have already set their sights on the rising 7th grader.
"Yesterday I asked Savannah what's one of your weaknesses in having your deformity. She was like, 'I don't see a weakness.' That said enough for me," her mother said.
Scruggs is shooting for the stars, such as college D-1 basketball and then the WNBA.
She works toward her goal daily.
"I don't really like flipping the tire, because it hurts my hand a little bit. I cant still do it though."
She's an inspiration for a lot of of kids at her school, and all of those she meets around the country.

The fitness trainer was fantastic. After checking our personal medical histories, he set us on an easy programme that would kick start us into a positive frame of mind. He promised that this was not boot camp and that the best way forward was to gently ease into a specific programme of mixed aerobic and weight bearing exercises, preceded by an all important warming up session, and following lots of stretching, we would end the session with a cool down. Every few days we upped the intensity of the programme, by walking a little bit faster and increasing the incline of a treadmill or the resistance of any of the other machines we were using. Because the increase was so small, with each tweak, we did not even notice, and by the end of the third week, we were achieving ten times more than we had been able to do on that first day.
Fitness is one of the single most important things you can do for yourself if you want to maintain a healthy life. With this in mind, we all set about changing our eating habits and began to replace doughnuts with bananas and flapjacks, and the cups of cappuccino became cups of herbal tea.
Setting out with the intention of walking the ten kilometres we actually ended up running it, not fast, but running it all the same. Such was the sense of achievement and satisfaction that we all agreed to become full members of the gym and keep up the hard work. All of us have progressed in different areas of the gym; some of us prefer the range of classes that are available, others prefer to concentrate on the weights. But the one thing we do have in common is the desire to maintain our new found fitness, and of course our newly toned bodies. It was certainly worth all the hard work.

ANZ today announced a financial assistance package for customers impacted by the fruit contamination crisis impacting fruit growers across Australia.
ANZ Head of Agribusiness, Mark Bennett said: "We are extremely saddened to hear how difficult things have been for some of our fruit growers over the past week as they have been forced to dispose of perfectly good crops due to the deliberate and callous contamination of a tiny amount of fruit.
"We remain committed to all our fruit growers and hope that in some small way this support package will help our customers who have been impacted by this crisis," Mr Bennett said.
ANZ encourages customers impacted to contact their Agribusiness Manager so we can provide support and work with them on the best possible solutions to meet their needs.

Lightroom is an amazing application, but underwater photographers will eventually find the need to jump to Photoshop. The spot removal tool in Lightroom just doesn't cut it for removing backscatter, and although its new Range Masking tools rock, they can't compete with Photoshop's superpowers. Take your editing techniques to the next level by learning to use the most powerful editing software on the planet.
In the optional Friday night class, we'll check out system setup (computer, software configuration, external drives) and Photoshop Preferences to make sure everything's ready to go. I'll also introduce the most important concepts that we'll be covering in more detail on Saturday and Sunday.
On Saturday, we'll start with Photoshop's most basic building blocks – Layers and Layer Masks. By the end of the day, you'll have learned a ton of great solutions (and some dirty tricks) for many of the most difficult problems underwater photographers face.
You'll need your laptop in good working order and at least one external drive. Also bring at least 5 of your own images to work on, power cables, dongles, and chargers. Know your passwords!

The Humanizing and Enlightening Power of Music
Jan 14, 2022 Philadelphia ChantéEntertainment, Musicentertainment, music, power of music
We often hear it: music is an emotion.
Sure, you get it not only with a nostalgic feel but also when you listen to a particular song. Music can also be used to influence our emotions. Therefore, it is not surprising that different music genres have been used for many years as a cure for people with mental health and behavioral problems.
Since ancient times, people have used music to make them feel better. But according to Susan van Hooren, music therapy is much more than a good feeling. 'In music therapy, we apply musical parameters to influence emotions.
Widely applicable
After the Second World War, the use of music therapy in healthcare started to gain momentum. At that time, more attention was paid to the wellbeing of the patient, especially psychiatric patients. This provided room for more creativity and therapeutic interventions to complement medical treatments.
"Music therapy as an empirical therapeutic intervention is used today for different support needs and different target groups," says Susan van Hooren. This includes psychiatric care for people with depression, psychotic disorders, or addiction problems, but music therapy includes care for people with mental illness, acquired brain damage, Parkinson's disease.
It is also found in rehabilitation such as CVA, care for the elderly such as dementia, and children with ADHD and autism.
According to many studies, music therapy is also effective for people with dementia. How does this process work? Van Hooren: 'There are several hypotheses about this. First, music can provide a sense of familiarity, because it evokes associations with the familiar environment or fond memories.
These memories appear to be strongly entrenched, even in people with dementia. This familiarity can make someone feel safer, reduce inner unrest and thus reduce behavioral problems at the same time.
Tension and stress
Music can also reduce tension and stress. Van Hooren: "This applies to both the subjective experience of stress and the physical response to stress such as blood pressure, heart rate, and skin conductance because music activates very old structures in the brain.
In these cases, it is important that the needs of the parties are closely coordinated and the non-verbal response is activated almost continuously. Requires a patient-centric attitude and very good observation skills.
What kind of music?
But what is the best music for the brain, the best music to touch its sensitive nerves? "It's a difficult question that can't be answered in one sentence," says Van Hooren. It can be happy or sad music for example. We know the sad music paradox.
It evokes empathy and even positive feelings, which can make sad music soothing. In any case, many scientists agree that it is important to match the music used to the personal tastes of the people involved as closely as possible. With the help of the internet, different websites like top link building services, podcasts, radio, mobiles, and other helpful links.

Update: Upcoming Outsourcing Issues. October 28, 2013
1) National: Good Jobs First releases a report on the failures of privatized state economic development agencies. "Three years ago, newly elected governors in several states, most notably Wisconsin and Ohio, decided that the best way to create jobs was to transfer economic development business-recruitment functions to 'public-private partnerships.' These experiments in privatization have, by and large, become costly failures. Privatized development corporations have issued grossly exaggerated job creation claims. They have created 'pay to play' appearances of insider dealing and conflicts of interest. They have paid executives larger salaries than governors. They have resisted basic oversight."
2) National: The troubled rollout of the Affordable Care Act website and signup system shines a light on the IT contractor at the center of the project, CGI Federal (a unit of the Montreal-based CGI Group Inc.). "CGI Federal's winning bid stretches back to 2007, when it was one of 16 companies to get certified on a $4 billion 'indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity' contract for upgrading Medicare and Medicaid's systems. Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts—GWACs, as they're affectionately known—allow agencies to issue task orders to pre-vetted companies without going through the full procurement process, but also tend to lock out companies that didn't get on the bandwagon originally." CGI also contracts at the state and local level. The Washington Post notes that "the relationship between contractor and subcontractor is very close. At the Assisted Housing Services Corporation of Ohio, California Affordable Housing Initiatives, and North Tampa Housing Development Corporation, many staff actually list themselves on LinkedIn as CGI employees."
3) National: The Wall Street Journal takes a detailed look at the profit-driven pressures to cut corners at USIS, the contractor hired to do national security vetting. "The background-check system is so beset with problems that it is time to take another look at its privatization, says Sen. Tom Carper (D., Del.), head of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, which plans hearings on the system. 'What about that change still makes sense?' he asks." [Sub required]
4) National: Following an eight month investigation, The Palm Beach Post begins releasing a series of reports by investigative reporter Pat Beall for the next five Sundays on private prisons. First up, a look at the Geo Group and its CEO, George Zoley. "But GEO's offer this year of $6 million for naming rights to the university's stadium provoked unexpected student protests. Reports of human rights violations at GEO prisons and detention centers triggered them. Civil rights activists, the ACLU and national press quickly picked up on the controversy. The university's mascot is an owl, and a new national punchline was born: Owlcatraz. GEO withdrew its offer." [Sub required]
The Post also looks at costs, and reports that the "state's math is misleading." Says the state's "calculations distort the bottom line, The Palm Beach Post found. Strip away the contrived formula, and politicians' promises of 7 percent savings vanish: A Postanalysis of three years of prison costs shows that three of six adult private prisons saved no money at all. Another fell short of 7 percent. State law ensures private prisons will be paid as if they're 90 percent full, even if they're not. Contracts steer the cheapest prisoners to the private companies, leaving the state holding the tab for the sickest, the seriously mentally ill and the most violent. And a watchdog panel designed to make sure taxpayers get the best possible deal hasn't met since 2005. 'The savings are a fiction,' said Jim McDonough, a Jeb Bush-era director of Florida's Department of Corrections." [Sub required]
In another piece on bed occupancy guarantees, The Post reports that Charles Thomas, a former University of Florida professor specializing in prison issues, says "some feared the Department of Corrections would undermine private prisons." Judith Greene of Justice Strategies responds that "the notion that any prison, public or private, is guaranteed to be 90 percent filled whether crime is going up or down is absurd."
On transparency, the Post reported on its difficulties getting the story. "When private companies are put in charge, even though public dollars remain at risk, the cauldron tightens."
In future issues, coming next Sunday: reports on prison violence and CCA's Idaho "Gladiator School."
Coming November 10: "Who's Watching the Guards."
Coming November 17: "Big Politics, Big Power," on the reach of the private prison industry.
Coming November 24: Some solutions; a look at sentencing reform.
5) National/Florida: Geo Group, the private prison company, is expected to report its third quarter earnings on November 4. The company has announced over the past two weeks that it has received contracts to operate three prisons in Florida (Graceville Correctional Facility, Moore Haven Correctional Facility, and Bay Correctional Facility). Corrections Corporation of America is expected to report its third quarter earnings on November 7.
6) National: As the Trans Pacific Partnership treaty, currently being negotiated in secret, moves toward congressional fast track approval, 14 public interest groups weigh in to warn of its potential impact on state and local health, labor and other regulations. The TPP would potentially preempt many local protections, and it is unclear how it might affect "public private partnerships" in road and other projects, since many of these deals have foreign trade components. The anti-regulation American Legislative Exchange Council's board of directors recently approved a resolution supporting ratification. [Info from Citizens Trade Campaign; State Department background briefing on TPP]
7) National: American Water Works Company, the largest publicly traded U.S. water and wastewater utility company, will hold its third quarter earnings call on November 6.
8) National: Private reinsurers look to take on more risk in the national flood insurance system. FEMA has been tasked with exploring the possibility of a greater role. "The [Reinsurance Association of America's] Mr. Nutter said the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 required FEMA to contract with an outside party to evaluate the interest of the reinsurance market to assume flood risk, to prepare a flood insurance model, and to evaluate privatization options more broadly than the reinsurance markets. The law also called for a separate study on affordability." The study has been bid out but no winner has been announced.
9) National: Army looks to expand privatization. Will consider issuing dining cards. "Herman Bulls, the international director and chairman of the public institution division at international real estate firm Jones Lang LaSalle, said privatized services could include base operations support, information technology, security, finance and accounting, recreation, medical and library services. He said the Army needs to work out a business case that saves money while attracting private investment before it can begin privatizing more services."
10) National: Paul Buchheit spells out "6 reasons privatization often ends in disaster." Includes executive compensation, selective client services by private companies, commodification of human needs, and flawed incentives.
11) California/National: Pressure grows to end Veolia Transdev's operation of Sonoma County's bus fleet. The contract ends in mid-2014. "The Sonoma Alliance for a Fair Ride has led the anti-Veolia crusade on local soil. Lois Perlman, a member of the alliance, says she wants to see a U.S.-based firm operate the buses, both to keep profits within the country as well as to make a clear political statement that human rights violations, among other alleged offenses, will not be tolerated by local government. But the matter is not one of choice, according to Bryan Albee, transit systems manager for Sonoma County Transit. He says once a call is made for bidders on a new 10-year contract, 'all qualified proposers will be given equal consideration' and that it's illegal for a federally funded service like Sonoma County Transit to show preference for one bidder based on anything but the applicant's capacity to carry out the job."
12) California: Long Beach moves to tender in its civic center redevelopment "public private partnership." Seven potential bidders responded to the April RFQ, and the city will now prepare a request for proposals.
13) Colorado: National attention focuses on the November 5 elections for the school board in Douglas County. "The Colorado chapter of Americans for Prosperity is running television ads to support candidates who will continue the district's current path. AFP is an advocacy group founded by billionaire David Koch that has Tea Party ties. Koch and his brother Charles, co-owners of Koch Industries, have been major contributors to the organization." On the other side, "[Diane] Ravitch, who has endorsed Hodges and Scholting in the race through her national advocacy group, the Network for Public Education, recently blogged against keeping the status quo at the Douglas County district. 'Unless the public selects a new school board, Douglas County might become the first district to privatize public education,' Ravitch wrote."
14) Florida: Miami-Dade School Board votes down a transportation outsourcing studyamid protests. "Most board members voiced hesitation about investigating privatization in other districts, and conducting a valuation of the district's 1,300-bus fleet." Sherman Henry, president of AFSCME Local 1184, which represents the district's transportation workers, said "the notion that it's a study in a simple form isn't true. They create a study, and the next thing you know they're implementing it."
15) Illinois: Two Chicago community groups issue a report critiquing Mayor Emanuel's charter school expansion scheme. "As Chicago Public Schools (CPS) has been dramatically expanding its investment in charter schools, it has made drastic budget cuts to neighborhood schools, as will be shown in this report. CPS has rationalized its charter expansion strategies in different ways over the years. The latest rationale for opening new charter schools is to provide overcrowding relief. As this report reveals, this rationale is deeply flawed, and has major ramifications for Chicago students and taxpayers." [Big Dollars, Little Sense: The Real Facts Behind Mayor Emanuel's Charter Expansion Plan to Relieve Overcrowding]
16) Indiana: The Gary/Chicago International Airport Authority has announced that it will negotiate with one team of bidders for the privatization of the airport's operations. The team includes Guggenheim Securities and Loop Capital. "The committee expects to negotiate over the next few weeks and make a final recommendation to the full airport board next month." [The Bond Buyer, October 28, 2013; sub required]
17) Indiana: The Indiana Finance Authority has sent a request for proposals for its planned I-69 Section 5 "public private partnership" (DBFOM). Four teams are biddingfor the $500 million road project, including Macquarie, Isolux, Plenary Group, and Meridiam Infrastructure. Responses are due January 23, 2014. [Sub required]
18) Indiana: The state legislature's Pension Management Oversight Commissionrecommends stopping efforts to outsource management of the state's annuity system.Lawmakers said "INPRS annuity administration produces better returns for participants, even if interest is reduced to market rates, because it offers lower fees compared to private management and is not seeking to earn a profit." The pension board is seeking clarification and will consider the issue again in December.
19) Indiana: Transparency issue surrounds a secret decision to strip authority from a public official. "State Superintendent of Instruction Glenda Ritz is suing because the state board of education, appointed by Governors Mitch Daniels and Mike Pence, took a vote to strip her of any role on reviewing the A-F grading system when she was not present. She is the chair of the board, by law. The decision was made in secret, without an open meeting." Lesley Weidenbener, the editor of TheStatehouseFile.com,writes "if a judge decides what the board did is legal, it could set a dangerous precedent for other public groups and may call for legislators to rethink the Open Door Law."
20) Louisiana: As details begin to leak out about Gov. Jindal's privatization of LSU hospitals, criticism mounts of alleged insider dealing, conflicts of interest, political influence, and disputed cost savings. The state treasurer, John N. Kennedy, analyzes the "Financial Risk of Charity Hospital 'Privatization.'" Kennedy writes, "the reason advanced by the Jindal Administration for privatizing Louisiana's charity hospitals is that a private hospital like Lafayette General or Ochsner, for example, can manage a hospital more efficiently, and therefore cheaper, than the state. That's why I was taken aback when the chairman of the private entity taking over the Shreveport state hospital testified before the Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget that the private contractor's costs to run the Shreveport facility will be the same as the state's." Kennedy says the privatization deal may lead to a budget crisis.
21) Michigan: Former employees of the now-privatized Grand Rapids Home for Veterans send a letter to Gov. Snyder asking him if the company that bought the home, J2S Group Healthforce, "has ever contributed to the Governor's secretive NERD Fund. The letter was also submitted to the NERD Fund's Chairman, Charlie Secchia, of Grand Rapids."
22) Michigan: Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr hires Stacy Fox, the founder of the Roxbury Group real estate company, as his deputy. Fox's colleague at Roxbury, David Di Rita, touts his experience "in numerous complex development projects, utilizing public-private partnerships." Detroit's chief procurement officer, Andre DuPerry, recently resigned, which Deadline Detroit's Darrell Dawsey writes is "cause for worry." DuPerry pointed to Orr's "inconsistency and lack of compliance with the competitive bid and contract approval processes."
23) Missouri: St. Louis Post-Dispatch editorial raises questions about a proposed new municipal water contract with Veolia. "At first glance, the controversy over a $250,000 consulting contract for Veolia Water North America to review procedures at the St. Louis city water division looks like a typical City Hall kerfuffle. Oh, but it is so much more." St. Louis resident Ivan Martin writes in a letter to the editor, "St. Louis was recently ranked as the city with the 9th-best drinking water in the country. Let's not celebrate by inviting this transnational corporation to profit from our city's achievement. Comptroller Darlene Green needs to heed public opinion and refuse to sign this contract."
24) Missouri: First Student bus drivers in Sedalia vote to join Teamsters Local 833 in Jefferson City. "The victory is the latest in an effort to organize private school bus and transit workers across the country. Drive Up Standards is a national campaign to improve safety, service and work standards in the private school bus and transit industry."
25) Nevada: Balfour Beatty Campus Solutions concludes a "public private partnership" deal to design, build and finance a University of Nevada graduate and family student housing project. The company "will finance and own the complex through a 42-year ground lease from the university."
26) New York/New Jersey: Kiewit and Macquarie chosen to build the replacement of the Goethals Bridge. "Officials from both states have considered public-private partnerships to build infrastructure, but the Goethals is by far the largest such project undertaken in the region, Port Authority officials said. (…) In announcing the deal, Port Authority Chairman David Samson said he hoped the authority would continue to use similar private financing deals for future projects. Backers of the bridge project said they hoped legislatures in New York and New Jersey would pass laws allowing similar deals in their states." [Sub required]
27) North Carolina: Wilmington Star-News praises the New Hanover County Commission for having "come to their senses" and introduced competitive bidding for the operation of the county's trash services. "Waste Industries, one of the largest trash haulers serving county residents and businesses, can deliver what it has advertised. But by permitting one company to circumvent the process, the board would have run the risk of cementing a 20-year relationship without allowing the public sufficient time to comment and without seeing what competitors have to offer."
28) North Carolina: Wilmington resident Ed Tilley praises teachers for standing up against the privatization of education. "I lived through the privatization of mental health in this state which in my view has been 10 years plus of one disastrous change after another. I am not yet convinced that anyone has benefited from this especially as prisons have become the treatment facilities for many people. I think we in mental health remained silent out of fear."
29) Oregon: A hiring scandal at the Bonneville Power Administration, which was formed in the 1930s to provide cheap electricity to poor rural areas, raises concern that the public may lose control of the system. "Critics have long blasted the agency for providing cheap power to only one region, and it has faced regular attempts to shift control to Washington, D.C., including proposals to meld the agency into a national power grid, privatize it, auction off the system and sell energy at market rates." Sen Ron Wyden has vowed to "to do everything he can to fight a takeover of BPA—and said he had won enough reassurances from federal officials."
30) Puerto Rico: The Public Private Partnerships Authority has started the process of developing the $400 million Caguas-San Juan Commuter Rail Project as a "public private partnership." "We are moving one step forward with the Caguas-San Juan Commuter Rail Project. Now we will start the evaluation and selection process of the private group that will develop the train," P3 Authority Executive Director Grace Santana said in September.
31) Washington: Seattle acquires private parking lot, and may develop a public parking facility to replace it.
32) International: The OECD has released a report finding that large pension fund investments in infrastructure increased from 2010 to 2012, but only slightly. "The average allocation to alternatives increased from 14.4% to 15.6% of the total portfolio between 2010 and 2012." Canada's OMERS and Australia's AustralianSuper had the highest allocations in unlisted infrastructure.
33) Revolving Door News: Watchdog group unveils the Pentagon's "revolving door" database. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington obtained the database through a FOIA request. "The database 'is just a snapshot of the Pentagon's revolving door,' CREW wrote in a blog, 'but it suggests private contractors continue to see senior DOD officials as particularly valuable during this time of tight budgets and defense reductions. People have to be allowed to make a living and use their expertise, but the public needs to know former defense officials aren't using insider knowledge to benefit private contractors who charge American taxpayers billions of dollars.'" CREW says"it's difficult to track people moving through the revolving door. DOD should routinely release the information, instead of fighting in court to keep it secret."
34) Think Tanks: Robert Poole of the Reason Foundation and Joshua Schank of the Eno Center for Transportation debate transportation "national vision" and funding at the annual AASHTO conference. Schank "explored the positives of both the Highway Trust Fund and general funds toward transportation." Eno will publish a paper setting out these ideas early next year.
Legislative Issues:
1) National: House passes Water Resources Reform and Development Act. Will now move to a House-Senate conference to reconcile with a bill the Senate passed in May.
2) California: Anti-outsourcing bill becomes state law. SEIU Local 1000 President Yvonne R. Walker says "we have shown over and over that using state employees is a more effective and efficient use of those dollars. Using private contractors typically does not save the state money. Now that AB 906 is law, the state will do a serious cost benefit analysis on the billions spent on private contractors."
3) Illinois: With Chicago's Privatization Transparency and Accountability Ordinance (PTAO) still stuck in committee, Ben Joravsky suggests a legislative maneuver that may free the measure up for a full vote in the council.


A full day excursion to northen Bali. Journey along winding and climbing mountain roads to lovely Lake Bratan. On the shores of the Lake Bratan, visit Ulun Danu Temple, honoring the Goddess of the lake. Visit Gitgit Waterfall, following an 800-meters footpath to the site.
Continue to the Banjar village hot springs and Buddhist monastery. On to Singaraja, Bali's first capital, which retains some colonial buildings and Chinese Temples. Toward the east are the elaborately carved Beji Temple at Sangsit and Meduwe Karang Temple at Kubutambahan.


…because they had to get the ONE key from the manager for the cage it was in, then I had to sign a form with my address declaring my intention to use the threadlocker to lock threads instead of, I assume, squirt it into a baggie and huff it. The clerk told me the cops had come in one day and made them replace a combination lock with a padlock. Can you imagine the time and money it took to pass and enforce that legislation? Your tax dollars at work!


The obsession with inflation is grounded in historical fact. This is true both of our recent "conundrum" as well as broader circumstances surrounding slow burning structural changes. As to the former, last year the global economy was supposed to take off, concurrently signaled by accelerating inflation rates due to what are always claimed to be tight labor markets.
The worldwide LABOR SHORTAGE!!! was supposed to lead somewhere very good; an end to a decade of increasingly dangerous malaise.
This didn't happen, a fact more and more central bankers are trying to come to terms with. As you would expect, they are having a lot of trouble doing so. The reason is that every answer is staring right back at them from the mirror.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell was on Capitol Hill today for the semi-annual Humphrey Hawkins dance. The Full Employment and Balanced Growth Act of 1978 used to mean something. Among other things, it correctly required a minimal level of monetary competence from the US central bank. The year of its passage was no accident, the Great Inflation a case study in monetary incompetence.
I concur that we must remain vigilant regarding a sustained takeoff in inflation… We must be equally vigilant that inflation expectations do not get anchored at too low a level. This persistent undershoot of the Feds target risks undermining the 2 percent inflation anchor.
Which is it? It is, after all, your specific job to pick one, the right one.
But, now there is more collateral in the form of long treasury bonds to protect.
They are afraid of their own shadows and inflation even though there is deflation all around us. Except for assets.

New exploration of a familiar rhythm: U.S. premiere of Jörg Widmann's Trauermarsch

What happens when a piano concerto meets a funeral march? Clarinetist and composer Jörg Widmann explores the genre through the filter of the iconic rhythm with his Trauermarsch for Piano and Orchestra, which will have its United States premiere this month with the San Francisco Symphony. The work was co-commissioned by the San Francisco Symphony, Berlin Philharmonic and Toronto Symphony Orchestra.
Hear Yefim Bronfman perform Widmann's Trauermarsch, plus MTT conducting C.P.E. Bach's Symphony No. 1 and Brahms's Symphony No. 1, June 23-25 at Davies Symphony Hall. Get tickets at sfsymphony.org
It was the instantly recognizable, solemn, dum-dum-dah-dum rhythm of a funeral march that became the object of Widmann's obsession as he began working. He originally had a traditional four-movement concerto in mind, but things changed.
"I was originally convinced that the opening funeral march would just be a short introduction to a large-scale allegro first movement," he reflected during a recent conversation. "But, at some point it was obvious to me to give up the four-movement idea in favor of one large-scale, slow funeral march movement because as I continued to write I got more and more obsessed with the funeral march's rhythm."
It is the rhythm that has embedded its place in our popular culture and become a part of our collective consciousness through very different venues — everything from John F. Kennedy's funeral to Saturday morning cartoons. Depending on your age, you may have very different associations with the rhythm, or perhaps none at all.
"My piece is an exploration of whether this rhythm is still valid for us today," explained Widmann.
Trauermarsch had its world premiere with the Berlin Philharmonic under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle on December 20, 2014. It runs the gamut from clashing dissonances to melancholic lyrical beauty, to alien sounds produced through extended techniques, reflecting the emotional disarray inflicted by a death.
For the pianist it requires exceptional emotional and physical stamina, because — unlike a traditional concerto — the soloist plays with and against the orchestra for all but a few bars.
Written specifically for the renowned pianist Yefim Bronfman, who also premiered the work, Widmann remarked, "It was a great honor and pleasure to write the solo part for Yefim. Over the years he became a true friend and one of my favorite chamber music partners. He also premiered one of my piano cycles at Carnegie Hall. It was very special to write for his powerful and yet very subtle and at times fragile playing. You can feel that the piece is written for him from the opening bars. After its premiere with the Berlin Philharmonic it is a great honor for me that a fantastic orchestra like the San Francisco Symphony and maestro Michael Tilson Thomas will play the American premiere of Trauermarsch."

The purpose of the study was to develop an initial competency model necessary for success in the sales manager's job in the business to business market. The findings indicate that the initial competency model for sales managers has thirty-two competencies and six competency clusters including, relationship building, planning, monitoring, directing, evaluating and rewarding. The initial competency model developed here gives support to the argument that sales is moving from a transactional approach to a relationship approach. Therefore, attention needs to be given to developing the relationship orientation skills of sales managers. Relationships are being sought by both suppliers and customers as a way of assuring a consistent, quality supply and future business. This is evidenced by Trent (2005) writing from the buyers point of views who states, "A diverse set of research shows relationships matter to the point where they can be a source of competitive advantage," (p. 54). Trent (2005) goes on to say, "relationships matter because almost every industry is facing changes that make suppliers a critical part of the firm's value chain," (p. 55). The findings indicate that coaching and ethical behaviors are of particular importance to sales managers and care should be taken to fully develop these competencies. This is particularly important in light of the study conducted by Managing Training & Development, (2005) that found that respondents cited the lack of such skills as the primary reason for a sales leadership failure. A cross-functional mentoring program may be one method to develop coaching and relationship building skills. Ethics training can be conducted in the traditional manner using case discussions and/or role-plays with ethical dilemmas. Promotion criteria should also be restructured to reflect relationship skills, coaching and ethical behavior. Additional research should be conducted to confirm the initial model using another method. Additional research should also be conducted to determine the current contents of training programs for sales managers. Finally, research should be undertaken to finally answer the question of do the best salespeople make good sales managers.

REGIONAL QUALITY SCHOOLS NETWORK

MAPA DE PROCESSOS
MULTILINGUAL SCHOOL NETWORK
I'M IN EST!
Comenius Multilateral
Partnership Web
Tiempo Villanueva de Castellón
Our Comenius Partners from Primate Dixon Primary School (Northern Ireland), Skola Podstawowa im rtm Witolda Pileckiego (Poland) and Volkschule Unterwössen (Germany) visited our school from Thursday 13th to Saturday 17th March .
We welcomed them to our town with a Welcome Ceremony at Teatre Ideal, our local theatre, together with representatives of the Regional Educational Board, The European Projects Office and the Town Hall. They could experience the most traditional Valencian dances and music and I think they were impressed by our last film "The Mystery of the stars", which is about some fallen stars on the playgrounds of the partner schools and how our students discovered through a dream that by throwing them back to the sky at midnight and shouting "Comenius" all together they could create a new European Constellation. The film was produced in English and it has also been subtitled in Spanish, German and Polish. It wants to show our commitment and enthusiasm for the Multilateral Partnership "Mens Sana in Corpore Sano".
Our students expressed what is Comenius for them and they also asked the visiting teachers about their schools and students. There is no doubt that Comenius has had an influence on all of them and after the project they'll feel active European Citizens.
We visited the "trinquet Court" and some of the teachers together with our students played Pilota Valenciana assisted by "El Moro" a professional player, Óscar (our P.E teacher) ands two of our Secondary Students, Javier López and Jesús Sansolí. They did a good job and you would have thought they had played a game before. Congratulations!.
Our European partners could enjoy the "Fallas at school Day" on 15th March. We all had a great time with the Falla, the acrosport festival, the parade and the music and of course with the falleros and falleras and we were all very sad when the time came to burn our falla. Now we are already on the go preparing a new falla for next year.
We shared the activities with the wide community, that's why we visited the Adult School "Paz Minguez" in our town, The Town Hall, the most important export citrus company in the town, Cooperativa del Camp de Vila Nova de Castellón.
We can only say that for us it has been a perfect week and we would like to thank the whole educational community who has helped us organising and getting ready for the Comenius Week. Apart from teachers, students and staff, lots of families came to join us in the activities. Comenius has been a great opportunity for our school and of course and open door to Europe.
Thanks to all of you, we did a great job!

Our mission is to develop fun, engaging and cost-effective fundraising solutions that maximise revenue and enhance your guests event experience.
Our team has a combined 20 years industry experience which is why we are able to develop all of our software in-house. This means we are able to imprint your companies identity into the technology, giving each of our customers a completely unique experience every time.
Our systems allow guests to bid on silent auction lots and make donations using a variety of familiar devices at your event. Regardless of which device or solution you choose, the technology offers a fantastic user experience. The devices can also display other event information for guests to view, such as the event running order, live auction lots, food menus, details on where funds raised at the event will go towards and much more.
Offered as a completely free addition to our silent auction app, our pledging button allows your guests to make donations at the touch of a button.
You don't necessarily need to wait until the night to start raising funds. Our pre-event online auctions are a great way to entice your supporters to bid for lots and pledge money weeks in advance. It is also a great way to include guests that may not be able to attend on the night.
Commonly used at reception areas, cocktail parties and standing events, our bid stations are used to further enhance bidding opportunities.
Having a wide variety of different prizes is a must at any silent auction. We have an exciting and unique range of prizes ranging from sports memorabilia to exotic holidays to stunning original artwork. Save yourself the time, money and effort of sourcing auction lots and let us do it for you!
We give you the option to collect outstanding payments on the night from your winning bidders, giving you peace of mind and saving you the trouble of chasing them up after the event.
Promote your charity through our devices. Use our software to advertise upcoming events, display food menus or give further information about your cause. If you want to promote it, we can include it, reducing your printing costs in the process.
Our virtual scratch cards are a fun and unique way of generating additional cash at your event. Your guests buy a scratch card and simply use their finger to "scratch off" the panel revealing three symbols, if all three match, they win a prize!
An excellent addition to any event, our interactive quizzes can be used as an additional way of fundraising (through sponsorships, entry fees, etc) or to simply keep your guests entertained during the event.
We cover all aspects of iPad hire from short-term hire, through to complex setup and delivery. We have a strong team of Technicians to setup, support and provide complete iPad rental solutions. We can advise on the right apps and tools to meet your event objectives and deliver bespoke solutions.

Build your database with our bespoke data capture software. Focused around your brand, we build unique forms that will centre on which type of data you wish to gain from your guests.
Avoid long queues and gain instant access to reports on attendees with our unique registration software. Using custom made badges or invites, our ultra-fast system allows your team to check guests in without the tediousness of flipping through a clip-board to find a name.
The cost of the system primarily depends on which solution you would like to use and also the size and style of your event. Please contact us to discuss your event requirements.
What do you bring on-site and what do we need to supply?
Our team bring all the equipment needed to setup and run the silent auction system (including lots of unncessary backup equipment, just in case). At the event, we need a table that typically sits alongside the main AV desk for one of our technicians to setup and manage the control equipment. Before the event, we'll liaise directly with the AV team to discuss any relevant technical points and also conduct a site visit if necessary.
How many of your staff will be at the event?
Typically there would be 2 technicians on-site, but additional staff can be provided if required. All of our team have a wealth of live event experience, and often your account manager will be at the event to oversee system delivery.
Approximately 1 hour. Our team usually arive at the venue 4 - 5 hours before guest arrival time to ensure there is plenty of time to spare.
When do you need all of the descriptions and images for the auction lots?
It's good to have all of the auction data as far in advance as possible, but as long as we have everything we need 48 hours before the event, that's fine.
I may have last-minute changes or additions to the auction prizes and guestlist. Will this be a problem?
Absolutely not. We can even make changes and additions to the guestlist and auction items whilst the event is underway.
Are you able to help source auction prizes?
Yes, although it's always better for the charity to source their own prizes and therefore retain the sale value on them. However, we can offer a varied selection of experiences and holidays as well as memorabilia items. We can also put you in touch with our recommended suppliers - having working with many memorabilia companies, we are happy to advise on who to trust and who to avoid.
How does the technology work? Is it secure?
The technology is a closed wifi network that can be seen, but not used, by any other wireless-enabled device. All of the data sent to and from the bidding devices is stored on a central server which is then transferred into detailed reports for post-event analysis.
The auction software is incredibly user-friendly and has been designed to make the bidding process as quick and simple as possible. All of the software we use is built in-house - designed and created by us.
Is one device per table enough?
Generally, yes. Unless you know your audience and are expecting high bidding activity, we usually advise using one device per table in order to keep system costs as low as possible. We always bring spare devices that can be used as and when needed.
Yes. Each guest can choose whether they would like their name to be withheld from displaying on the device and scoreboard screens. If they change their mind during the event, we can change this straight-away.
Are guests limited to using the devices allocated to their tables?
No. Guests can make bids and pledges on any of the devices at the event.
Can the layout and style of the scoreboard screen be changed?
Yes. The theme and colours can be matched to the event/charity branding and we also regularly create completely bespoke designs. We can display running totals, countdown timers and different numbers of lots per page at any time throughout the event.
Can I use the system for pledge-only events?
Yes. We have worked at lots of pledge-only events where our system has been used to great effect. The pledging function is included as standard, so we highly recommend utilising this if possible.
How long have you been working in the event industry?
Event Technologies was founded in 2004, when we started delivering a range of audience interaction services to various corporate clients and government departments. Our founders had both been working in the live event industry for the duration of their careers before this. The rest of our team have a wealth of previous live event and fundraising experience and expertise.
How long have you been working with charities?
We delivered our first electronic auction in 2008 and now provide this service at anywhere between 5 and 20 events per month for charities, corporate clients and awards shows.
What is the maximum event size that ET can support?
Can you deliver your service and technology abroad?
Yes. We have delivered our auction system and our other interactive applications in cities around the world; Milan, Doha, Madrid, Johannesburg, Dubai, Geneva and Lisbon to name a few.
Absolutely. In fact, we encourage this. A live demonstration enables you to see exactly how the system works and can be best utilised at your event. Please contact us to arrange.

Jason Brailow Beauty Line Gets Extraordinary Boost from Kim Kardashian Post
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / July 8, 2019 / Given that 45% of the world's population uses social media, word-of-mouth promotion has essentially become synonymous with building brand awareness and engaging with consumers via platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest. In the current advertising landscape, celebrities have emerged as arguably the most effective social media influencers, and none among them have the sway of the Kardashian sisters. Their comments and endorsements have the power to make or break business ventures and change lives, which 38-year-old entrepreneur Jason Brailow can attest to: an Instagram post by Kim Kardashian West helped his beauty line take off, with the entire stock selling out online within three days.
Initially gaining fame through reality TV and a spate of controversies, Kim has transformed into a highly successful businesswoman and media personality, using her celebrity status to advocate for various causes: in addition to her regular donations to more than 20 charities, she has been vocal on the issues of homelessness, mental health, and sex trafficking. In September 2018, she made headlines for visiting the White House to discuss prison reform with President Donald Trump, and Rolling Stone magazine referred to her as an activist in its report of the event. The 38-year-old mother of four is a social media superstar, boasting 141 million followers on Instagram alone and reportedly collecting six- or seven-figure sums per post. Equally influential is her younger sister Kylie Jenner, 21, whom Forbes recently pronounced the world's youngest self-made billionaire. Kylie, who has 137 million followers on Instagram and is reportedly paid $1 million per post, has openly acknowledged that the massive success of her cosmetics line is due to the strong social media reach she had established before starting the business.
Posts and tweets from celebrities have immense power, something Jason Brailow has experienced first-hand after Kim Kardashian did a promotion on her Instagram for some brands and internet personalities and included him in the post. This mention by a top influencer helped him build the platform he needed to change his life and perhaps even the lives of many other people whose stories are going unheard. The millennial entrepreneur is no stranger to success or attention himself, having appeared in several reality programs, including a WE TV show and Bravo's Below Deck. In addition, he has spent more than a year as the leader of a team that has been producing a documentary about government corruption. Despite his achievements, Jason Brailow confides that he has had more failures than wins, noting that success never comes easy and can take a heavy toll on a person's mental health. According to a study by researcher Michael A. Freeman of the University of San Francisco, 49% of entrepreneurs report at least one lifetime mental health condition, the most common afflictions being depression, ADHD, substance use, and bipolar disorder.
Jason Brailow is a forward thinking serial entrepreneur, founder, and investor who has a pedigree of identifying unrealized potential, building operational value, and monetization. With a knack for building businesses, he has founded a handful of TECH start-ups over the last several years resulting in a series of accomplishments: Inc 500 - Product of the Year - Rising Star Award - Entrepreneur of the Year
Jason Brailow is recognized as one of the foremost authorities in Online Advertising. He has always had an entrepreneurial spirit but garnered his savvy business sense while starting, acquiring, and selling several ventures. His forward thinking and technological mindset has enabled him to build companies that create products used by consumers daily, around the globe.

Comedy brings father daughter together
Sarah A Matott
Carlsbad Current-Argus
CARLSBAD – Sometimes, family reunions don't go over so well. At least that is the case in the Carlsbad Community Theater's next play, "I Ought to be in Pictures."
The play would appear to be a simple one, with only three actors, but one will quickly come to understand in the first act of the play that the storyline is far from simple.
The story follows, the story of 19-year old Libby who has ventured from Brooklyn to Hollywood to try and get in the movies, but also to reacquaint herself with her father.
Herb, a once-was Hollywood script writer, gets a surprise when Libby, his distant daughter whom he left behind many years ago, arrives.
"Herb decides to take another stab at fatherhood," the Carlsbad Community Theater says about the play.
Libby DeWitt, 21, who plays the role of Libby, said that the show is about Libby and Herb rekindling their relationship, which is a bit chaotic at times.
"I play an aspiring actress, but my character and her dad (Herb) will get into a lot of fights during the show," DeWitt said.
In addition to DeWitt, the play will star Casey Gadbury as Herb and Jamie Covington as Steffie, Herb's girlfriend and a movie makeup artist.
Longtime Carlsbad Community Theater veteran Ellen Friesen is directing this play.
Tickets can be bought in advance at the Blue House, Candlewood Cards and Gifts, the Old Pecos Gallery, Kristina's Custom Frames and the Shade Tree. Tickets cost $12 for adults and $6 for students.
Tickets are also sold at the box office on production dates if seats are still available.
For more information, you can go to www.cctinfo.org or call 887-3157.
The dates of the play are:
Feb. 26 at 7:30 p.m.
March 4 at 7:30 p.m.
Sarah Matott can be reached at 575-628-5546.

Anime Limited News: More Standard Edition Blu-ray Releases, Release Date Adjustments & More
NormanicGrav • 8th February 2018
Two weeks ago we recapped the latest news and information from distributor Anime Limited, and to no one's surprise they managed to unveil even more content so now we have another news round-up already.
A couple months ago Anime Limited clarified that A Silent Voice was listed as a 'Soon to be Out of Print' title. Now we have received a new update on the current stock in which the collector's edition has nearly sold out on Shop AllTheAnime. Only the Shop Exclusive A2 Poster with Collector's Edition bundle is available so grab the set as soon as you can if you want to nab a copy.
New Standard Edition Listings
Can't afford the collector's edition sets or missed out when they were around? The good news is that we now have confirmation that there will be more standard edition sets over the course of the year. We already mentioned the Persona 3 Movies getting the treatment so we won't recap that info here.
On 5th March we have the complete series Blu-ray set of Black Butler: Book of Circus.
On 12th March we have the complete first season Blu-ray set of Blood Blockade Battlefront.
On 9th April we have the Makoto Shinkai double film pack of The Place Promised in Our Early Days and Voices of a Distant Star available on Blu-ray and DVD.
On 16th April we have a complete series Blu-ray and DVD standard only release of Kiss Him, Not Me!.
On 28th May we have the live-action film Tokyo Ghoul available as a standard only Blu-ray and DVD release.
And starting 28th May we have Sword Art Online II coming back in print with Part 1 (Episodes 1-7) on Blu-ray with a limited collector's box to house Parts 1-4 of the standard Blu-ray sets. Part 2 (Episodes 8-14) will be out on 25th June followed by Part 3 (Episodes 15-19) on 30th July and Part 4 (Episodes 20-24) on 27th August. For those wondering why there's no complete series set it's because of Aniplex's strict requirements.
BBFC Ratings
We got some new updates from the BBFC ratings board.
Sword Art Online the Movie -Ordinal Scale- has been rated for home video after receiving its theatrical release early last year with a 12A. The home video version includes some mini added stuff including a tweaked scene for Asuna hanging out in the bath for the fanservice. To everyone's surprise the BBFC gave it a rating of 12. There's an insight on the rating if you're interested.
We got some more new artwork revealed. Two of them we've shown earlier in this post with Black Butler: Book of Circus and Blood Blockade Battlefront standard edition Blu-ray sets. Anywho here's the next batch of new artwork!
The 2003 series of Kino's Journey is a complete series standard DVD-only release, currently set for 19th March. There is no Blu-ray master which is why it's just DVD but it should be NTSC compared to the previous ADV Films release. Note that this is the main 13 episodes of the TV series and won't include the other content that ADV didn't license in prior releases. Like the previous ADV release this does include English & Japanese audio with English subtitles.
Just in case you didn't see our report on Napping Princess and Princess Arete, you can view the artwork above!
Napping Princess has four versions available: standard DVD, standard Blu-ray, collector's edition combo and a shop exclusive collector's combo that comes with a A4 Japanese Clear File. English & Japanese audio with English subtitles with all four versions available on 19th March.
Princess Arete has three versions available: standard DVD, standard Blu-ray and a shop exclusive collector's combo. Japanese with English subtitles only with all three versions available sometime between the end of February and early March.
And just as we typed this the third and final arc of the Durarara!!x2 series – Durarara!!x2 Ketsu, is around the corner with its collector's edition Blu-ray and standard DVD tentatively set for 19th March. This covers episodes 1-12 of the Ketsu arc in both English & Japanese audio with English subtitles. Like the previous two arcs the Ketsu OVA won't be included for this release due to Aniplex's strict requirements.
Release Date Adjustments
We have some tweaks to the release dates for select titles so let's get into it.
The first season of The Testament of Sister New Devil has been pushed back to 2nd April. The raunchy ecchi series will be released uncut and uncensored at the very least, with a collector's edition Blu-ray and standard DVD planned with both English & Japanese audio with English subtitles.
The first season of Love Live!! Sunshine! is now currently tentatively set for 9th April. While Funimation's release it's joke, the Anime Limited version will offer a collector's edition Blu-ray and standard DVD with both English & Japanese audio with English subtitles.
And the very first feature length anime film from 1945 called Momotaro Sacred Sailors is now currently tentatively set for 26th March. This release is a collector's edition combo pack that will also include the short film The Spider and the Tulip as well as a 128-page book written by Dr. Jonathan Clements (Author of Anime: A History, co-author of the Anime Encyclopedia). Both the main film and short film are in Japanese with English subtitles only.

2021 Jaguar XF Review: What is 'a Proper Jaguar,' Anyway?
By Jake Thiewes / November 1, 2021 November 1, 2021 / Street Cars
Though the Jaguar XF has historically been the brand's midsize sedan, Jaguar stopped selling their compact XE, tweaking the 2021 Jaguar XF to fit both compact and midsize price points. Sedans aren't selling as well as crossovers, and every sedan on the market has to be that much more intentional to really justify its existence. This is doubly important for everything sold in the United States by Jaguar and its sibling Land Rover, as their sales figures here are lower than other luxury brands.
Many years ago, the hosts of Top Gear covered a new Jaguar as part of their news segment. The stereotype-filled discussion boiled down to what "a proper Jag" was, not based on a spec sheet, but on the overall vibe it gave off. I've always felt that Jaguar was a brand defined by an intangible presence more than anything, so when they dropped off a 2021 Jaguar XF, that "proper Jag" debate was front of mind.
This is a 2021 Jaguar XF P300 R-Dynamic. Now in its second generation, this XF has been on sale since 2015 and received updates for 2021 as the XE was discontinued. Jaguar cut the base price of the 2021 XF by $7,000 and shuffled some engine options as well, giving the entry-level "core" XF P250 a 2.0 liter turbocharged four making 246 horsepower. My XF P300 gets the same four-cylinder with more boost, coming in at 296 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. The supercharged V6 of past XFs is no longer available.
Both P250 and P300 engines are paired to a ZF eight-speed torque-converter automatic and, in most cases, all-wheel drive. The XF is on a rear-wheel drive platform, but only the most basic XF P250s will come as rear-drive models.
Choosing the R-Dynamic trim level locks you in to the higher-powered "P300" engine and all-wheel drive. Wheels are upsized to a 19-inch option and inside, 16-way front seats with heat are added. Subtle exterior tweaks round out the R-Dynamic package.
My specific 2021 Jaguar XF also included the Dynamic Handling package, which added electronically-controlled dampers, red-painted brake calipers, and a trunk-lid spoiler. The extended leather, cold weather, and convenience packages rounded out my particular British Racing Green test car, making it mostly-loaded as 2021 XFs go.
The most basic 2021 Jaguar XF R-Dynamic can be had for roughly $50,000 and my test car came with an MSRP of $62,695.
Relaxed Enough, with Sporting Bones
My week with the XF covered a mix of extended highway travel and some beautiful Shenandoah Valley back roads. In every case, the XF was competent and comfortable. It's no full-size sedan (RIP, XJ) but four of us fit well enough for a day of adorable fall-themed fun at an apple orchard.
For 2021, Jaguar updated the XF's infotainment software to their latest, called Pivi Pro. It is a massive leap ahead of their older system, with generally fast response time and easily-navigated menus. Pivi Pro drives an optional Meridian surround sound system that is punchy, crisp, and worth the $600 upcharge.
Jaguar did a fantastic job with the XF's suspension, offering just the right level of "supple" in its normal setting without feeling too soft or wallowy. Highway miles were soaked up with ease, and when I forgot to change drive modes, the XF still managed corners and quick body movements with grace in its default Comfort setting. Those moments where you crest a small hill and the road seems to drop away more than it should? Handled.
Twisting the drive mode dial to Dynamic firmed things up for back roads, though not to an unreasonable extent. The XF loves corners, remaining composed with solid steering feel and appropriate heft from the wheel. I enjoyed pushing the XF a bit, as the chassis is balanced and just easy everywhere.
Where I appreciate the 2021 Jaguar XF is its duality – crisp styling paired to a vehicle handles cruising through the city for date night or weekend drives in the mountains with aplomb.
…But Is It a Proper Jag?
While I had the XF and was spending a day evaluating a host of new cars with my local press association, I found out I had been promoted at my day job. Two years of work had paid off, and I felt like a million bucks as I slipped behind the Jag's steering wheel for my drive home, their "leaper" staring back at me from the airbag cover. I put my foot on the brake, hit the Start button, and wished for a little more as the Ingenium four-cylinder came to life.
The 2021 Jaguar XF is indeed "a proper Jag" in that it exudes presence. Given lower sales figures, it's not tremendously common to see another XF on the road. You absolutely stand out from something like a BMW 3-series or Mercedes C-Class, and it's thanks to taut styling that's not overdone.
Presence continues inside, with a relatively low dashboard, good view of the road, and tasteful materials choices everywhere you look and touch. The tactile and visual experience in the XF has been carefully considered, and it adds to the whole package.
Where I think the XF loses the "proper Jag" plot is with the engine. I understand entirely why Jaguar is only offering a turbo four-cylinder in the XF, but economies of scale aren't sexy and don't have that special something that I really wanted from this BRG-on-cream British sedan. Knowing that Jaguar Land Rover has a 3.0 liter inline-six in their arsenal, and knowing the noises it makes in the Land Rover Defender, having the XF's top-dog drivetrain make those kinds of four-cylinder noises was a letdown.
Yes, every other luxury manufacturer also plops a standard, fine-but-also-kind-of-underwhelming two-liter turbo four in their midsize sedan. They all make adequate power, and the Jag's offering is no exception. The 2021 Jaguar XF carries a power to weight ratio of 13.0 pounds per horsepower and can get to sixty in 5.8 seconds. The transmission listens to you and works well if you get playful, holding gears and shifting quickly enough. It's totally fine.
Where Jaguar falls short is having their basic-Becky engine be the only one offered. I know why they dropped the supercharged V6, I get it. But I don't like it.
So yes, the 2021 Jaguar XF is proper enough… but a touch more flair and drama wouldn't hurt.
Earlier this year, Jaguar announced they would become an all-electric brand by 2025. The notion of "proper" is about to change in a big way. Some of us dream of XJs gone by, with the leaper bolted to the hood looking out at light cast from four round lamps. I am one of those somebodies. Big, brash luxury sedans definitely do it for me, doubly so if they can take a corner.
Crossovers are practical and ostensibly the best choice for a lot of buyers. Sedans like the Jaguar XF aren't nearly as all-purpose as they once were, and the XF isn't really "brash" like it used to be. There's no XFR or XFR-S anymore. The 2021 Jaguar XF is a nice place to spend time, and beyond the engine offering, it's a very well-balanced and very well-styled sedan that I liked. I wanted to love it, though, and I couldn't quite get there.

A trust is an estate planning tool that can be used to give property to those you care about, either while you are still living or after you pass away. To set up a trust you as the trust creator create the terms of the trust with the trust document. In the trust document you name a trustee, the beneficiaries, and the rules related to how the trustee is to manage the trust. You would then transfer assets to the trust. A trust can be revocable or irrevocable. In general, a revocable trust can be changed or revoked. Under certain circumstances event an irrevocable trust cannot. New York probate law has special provisions related to how a trust can be revoked. Under New York Estate, Powers and Trusts, section 7-1.9, in order to revoke a trust the creator must indicate the intention to revoke in writing using the same formalities required to record the conveyance of real property. If the trust was recorded in the office of the clerk or registrar, then the revocation document must be recorded in the same office. Because the rules related to creating and revoking a trust are complicated, it is important to contact an experienced New York Estate Lawyer who will help you make sure that your trust and other estate planning documents are executed or revoked in a manner that is consistent with New York law.
If you create a revocable trust you can change or terminate it at any time during your lifetime. This allows you to modify the trust due to such changes in your family or changes in your finances. For example, you may want to change your trust if you get married, get divorced, have a child or have a grandchild. You may also want to change it if you or a family member suffers a disability. However, it is not necessary for there to be some sort of family change or financial change for you to change your trust. You may change the terms of the trust simply because you change your mind about what property you want to include in the trust or who you want to benefit from it. However, when you pass away your revocable living trust will become irrevocable, and it cannot be changed.
In Perosi v. Ligreci, 948 N.Y.S.2d 629 (N.Y. App. Div., 2012), Nicholas LiGreci created an irrevocable trust and named his brother as trustee. Nicholas later named Linda Perosi as his attorney-in-fact, giving her power to act as his agent on all of his financial matters, including the power to name a trustee of any trust. With the consent of the beneficiaries of the trust, Perosi executed an amendment naming a new trustee and a new successor trustee pursuant to EPTL 7–1.9. Before the Nicholas signed the amendment, he died. The original trustee sought to set aside the amendment arguing that the trust was irrevocable and that the attorney-in-fact did not have power to change it. The court ruled in favor of the attorney-in-fact. Under EPTL 7-1.9 an irrevocable trust can be amended as long as all of the beneficiaries agree. Also, while New York law prohibits an attorney-in-fact from amending a will, there is no law which prohibits an attorney-in-fact from amending a trust.
Upon the written consent, acknowledged or proved in the manner required by the laws of this state for the recording of a conveyance of real property, of all the persons beneficially interested in a trust of property, heretofore or hereafter created, the creater of such trust may revoke or amend the whole or any part thereof by an instrument in writing acknowledged or proved in like manner, and thereupon the estate of the trustees ceases with respect to any part of such trust property, the disposition of which has been revoked. If the conveyance or other instrument creating a trust of property was recorded in the office of the clerk or register of any county of this state, the instrument revoking or amending such trust, together with the consents thereto, shall be recorded in the same office of every county in which the conveyance or other instrument creating such trust was recorded.
For the purposes of this section, a disposition, contained in a trust created on or after September first, nineteen hundred fifty-one, in favor of a class of persons described only as the heirs, next of kin or distributees (or by any term of like import) of the creator of the trust does not create a beneficial interest in such persons.
A testamentary or lifetime trust wholly benefitting one or more charitable beneficiaries may be terminated as provided for by subparagraph two of paragraph (c) of section 8-1.1 of this chapter.

Luciana Berger's running to be the next Lib Dem MP for Finchley and Golder's Green
We've got some great news - Luciana Berger will be standing to be the next Liberal Democrat MP for Finchley and Golder's Green!
Luciana had this to say:
"It has been an enormous privilege to have served as the MP for Liverpool Wavertree for almost ten years.
I cannot thank my constituents enough for the relationship we have grown over the last decade and what we have achieved together."
Ahead of the next General Election, a letter from me to constituents about my future - pic.twitter.com/S1UGOoBHnA
- Luciana Berger (@lucianaberger) September 26, 2019
"Balancing personal and professional responsibilities is complicated for everyone and, as a family, we have had to work out how best to balance our work with raising our young children.
After a great deal of thought, we have decided that after the next election - whenever that may be - we will relocate full time to London.
I will be standing as the Liberal Democrat Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Finchley and Golders Green at the next general election.
I will persist in standing up to Johnson and his government, who are intent on taking us to the No Deal Brexit precipice which would result in serious consequences for people's jobs and livelihoods in London and across the country."
We think Luciana will be a great MP for Finchley and Golder's Green - and look forward to supporting her in her campaign there.

El Frente para la Liberación de Dhofar (DLF) (en árabe: جبهة تحرير ظفار) fue un frente comunista que se estableció para crear un estado separatista en Dhofar, la provincia del sur de Omán, que compartía frontera con Yemen del Sur.

La DLF fue creada por jóvenes comunistas (marxistas-leninistas) en Salalah en 1965. Su principal objetivo era conseguir financiación para el desarrollo de la zona y acabar con el gobierno del sultán de Mascate y Omán (Said bin Taimur).

Los dos personajes del liderazgo que estarían en el centro de la corta historia del frente fueron Musallam bin Nufl y Yusuf bin Alawi bin Abdullah.

Apoyados por Yemen del Sur, lucharon durante 10 años contra el sultán de Mascate y las fuerzas armadas de Omán. El Ejército del Sultanato, apoyado por Irán y el Reino Unido, consiguió desalojar a las DLF y empujar sus fuerzas hacia la frontera de Yemen y las montañas en 1976.

Tennessee basketball forward Yves Pons plays saxophone cover of 'Careless Whisper' in empty park
Will Backus
Knoxville News Sentinel
Yves Pons has had a busy offseason.
Besides staying in shape for either the NBA Draft or Tennessee basketball's next season, he's been working on his saxophone skills.
In a video posted by the Tennessee basketball Twitter account, Pons showcases his familiarity with the instrument, playing George Michael's "Careless Whisper" in the middle of an empty World's Fair Park.
"Just an absolute force of nature," the tweet read.
The video has edited overlays of Pons' highlights from his time with the Vols, as well as birds in flight and various flowers, and includes a backing track similar to that found in "Careless Whisper."
Pons is also now listed as a "skilled saxophone player," with a link to the video, on the official UT athletics website.
An unedited version was also posted for those that just want to hear the dulcet tones of Pons playing.
Pons entered the NBA Draft on April 26 to go through the process and test the waters. He retains his ability to return for his senior season at Tennessee.
As a junior, he was named the SEC Defensive Player of the Year, tying the program record in blocked shots with 73. He blocked a shot in each of the Vols' 31 games.

Abstract: Recent developments in intelligent transport systems (ITS) based on smart mobility significantly improves safety and security over roads and highways. ITS networks are comprised of the Internet-connected vehicles (mobile nodes), roadside units (RSU), cellular base stations and conventional core network routers to create a complete data transmission platform that provides real-time traffic information and enable prediction of future traffic conditions. However, the heterogeneity and complexity of the underlying ITS networks raise new challenges in intrusion prevention of mobile network nodes and detection of security attacks due to such highly vulnerable mobile nodes. In this paper, we consider a new type of security attack referred to as crossfire attack, which involves a large number of compromised nodes that generate low-intensity traffic in a temporally coordinated fashion such that target links or hosts (victims) are disconnected from the rest of the network. Detection of such attacks is challenging since the attacking traffic flows are indistinguishable from the legitimate flows. With the support of software-defined networking that enables dynamic network monitoring and traffic characteristic extraction, we develop a machine learning model that can learn the temporal correlation among traffic flows traversing in the ITS network, thus differentiating legitimate flows from coordinated attacking flows. We use different deep learning algorithms to train the model and study the performance using Mininet-WiFi emulation platform. The results show that our approach achieves a detection accuracy of at least 80%.

Q: How sleep mechanism works in Linux We have an embedded Linux in which we manage and control many* subsystems. In addition, it has a communication medium which allows us to communicate with it without a cable(S-Band).
Currently, I am dealing with some scripts where we can use them during the operation period.
Here is a timer prototype, where we can activate some scripts when the clock shows 00:00.
while [ 1 ];
do
    curHour="$(date +%H)"
    curMin="$(date +%M)"
    echo $curHour:$curMin
    if ((10#$curHour=="0")); then
        if((10#$curMin=="0"));then
            ./archAndComp.sh
        fi
    fi
    sleep 60
done

The script I am calling has particular jobs which are archiving and compressing the desired directory. Here is the prototype of what I explained.
dirName="logs"
j=0
if (find $PWD $dirName*); then
    i=0
    while (find $PWD $dirName-$i.tar.xz);
    do
        let i++
    done
    tar -cvf $PWD/$dirName-$i.tar $PWD/var/log/$dirName
    xz  $PWD/$dirName-$i.tar
else
    tar -cvf $PWD/$dirName-$j.tar $PWD/var/log/$dirName
    xz  $PWD/$dirName-$j.tar
fi

In summary, at the end of every day I want to archive and compress a specific directory. The file transfer/download script is provided. Thus, no need to discuss that part.
The thing that bugs me is; when the timer.sh script is active, does it cause a process sleep which does not allow any other process to be completed? Alternatively, some internal scheduler may assign the sleep to a thread-like mechanism which allows other processes to continue their lives...
For the first case, I should daemonize the timer script. What would be your suggestions, should I stick with systemd or implement my own clock-like daemon?

A: Eric Renouf has a point - unless you are really tight on memory on your embedded system, cron is a fine way to schedule running of other process on regular basis. However, if you decide to stuck with bash solution, there are some hints.
By custom while true is used for infinite loop. There are some technical details hidden causing it could be a little better than while [1]. A little better as in: you may spare literally a few CPU cycles. So, it's not very bothering.
You have choose quite elaborate way to check if the time to run a process arrived. It could be done simpler:
if [ "$(date +%H%M)" = "0000" ]; then
  ./do-something.sh
fi

There is no need to check the time every 60 seconds. You can check the current time and sleep until midnight:
while true; do
  t=( $(date +"%H %M %S") )   # store current hh:mm time into an array
  if [ "${t[0]}${t[1]}" = "0000" ]; then
    ./do_something.sh      # it could be a time consuming process
    t=( $(date +"%H %M") ) # so we want to know when it ends
  fi
  # sleep till next midnight
  sleep $[ 86400 - 3600 * ${t[0]} - 60 * ${t[1]} - ${t[2]} ]
done

You may want to call your script in the background:
./my_scheduler.sh &

Also, you may want to keep the log from whatever you called from inside your scheduler:
./do_something.sh > /log/something.log 2>&1

And as for your original question: the sleep from bash is implemented using the sleep(3) system call. More or less, it means for scheduler (a kernel subsystem deciding when to assign a CPU time for a process/thread): do not run me, unless the specified time pass or something special happen. Therefore, sleeping process does not eat CPU resource.
