GRACosway Weekly Wrap Up: Government loses Banks to crossbench
The PM's popularity is up, according to the polls, while the Coalition continues to lag behind Labor, ahead of the final parliamentary sitting week of the year.
Liberal MP Julia Banks has announced she will leave the Liberal Party to sit on the crossbench, further diminishing the Government's numbers in the House of Representatives.
The PM and Finance Minister are headed to the G20 meeting in Argentina, following a tough week in Parliament.
The Federal Budget will be handed down on 2 April 2019, while MYEFO will be delivered on 17 December 2018.
Labor has welcomed a landslide win at the Victorian State Election, with Premier Daniel Andrews unveiling a revamped ministry yesterday. Matthew Guy will step down as Leader of the Opposition.
PM's poll boost
The Coalition's primary vote has fallen for a third consecutive poll to reach a near-record low of 34 per cent. Results of the latest Newspoll reveal the Government continues to trail Labor on a two-party preferred basis, 45-55, while Prime Minister Scott Morrison has doubled his lead over Opposition Leader Bill Shorten as preferred PM and recorded a significant four-point jump in approval ratings.
Government's numbers tested in the House
The Government had a trying week in the House of Representatives – its first sitting week as a minority government – dealing with a push by the crossbench to establish a national integrity commission; the resignation of Liberal MP Julia Banks; the aftermath of the Coalition's Victorian State Election loss; and an attempt by the Opposition to suspend standing orders. Prime Minister Morrison and Finance Minister Matthias Cormann are headed to the G20 meeting in Argentina today, where issues such as anti-corruption, education, climate and energy are on the agenda. The final sitting week of the year is expected to create further headaches for the Government, with crossbenchers flaggingplans to introduce a raft of bills.
Banks leaves Liberals
In an unanticipated move, Liberal MP Julia Banks announced her decision to leave Liberal ranks and sit on the crossbench, citing concerns over the party's treatment of women; recent "dark days" during the leadership spill; and internal division over energy and climate change. Her departure will reduce the Government's numbers in the House of Representatives to only 74 seats. On the ousting of former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, the member for Chisholm said that "the coup was aided by many MPs trading their vote for a leadership change in exchange for their individual promotion, preselection endorsements or silence". In further unwelcome news for the Government, conservative Liberal MP Craig Kelly is also reportedly considering quitting the Liberal Party amid concerns over his preselection.
Budget date announced as next election looms
Australians are expected to head to the polls next May, following this week's announcement that the Federal Budget will be handed down on 2 April 2019. In a joint press conference with Treasurer Josh Frydenberg, PM Scott Morrison said the Government intends to deliver a surplus Budget on 2 April, while confirming that the mid-year economic and fiscal outlook (MYEFO) will be handed down on 17 December 2018. The Government has also released the 2019 parliamentary sitting calendar, amid criticismfrom the Opposition that there are too few sitting weeks before the Budget.
Labor landslide in Victoria
Labor has celebrated a resounding victory following Saturday's State Election and is currently predicted to win a minimum of 52 seats in the 88-seat Legislative Assembly. Less than a week later, Matthew Guy has announced he will step down as leader of the Victorian Opposition, with senior party members John Pesutto and Michael O'Brien tipped to replace Mr Guy. Leader of the Victorian Nationals Peter Walsh has indicated he will remain in his role. The Greens have also suffered, predicted to lose up to four of the party's five Upper House seats.
The Federal, Queensland, SA, WA, NT and Tasmanian parliaments will sit next week. The 2019 federal parliamentary sitting calendar is available here.

Let us tell you that the Indian and American forces have been doing military exercises for the past several days in Auli, Himachal Pradesh.
A few days back, China had lodged its objection regarding this military exercise.
China had said that the place where this military exercise is taking place in India is just 100 kilometers away from the international border.
In such a situation, doing military exercises by staying so close to the border is ignoring the international agreement.
America also reacted to China's objection.

A dream summer for most youth is to play and create in a safe, fun space with adults who care and give them the freedom to be who they are.
Youth who attend the S.A.Y. Detroit Play Center on Detroit's East Side engage in a variety of enriching developmental learning activities — sports, robotics, tutoring and music. A fully decked out music studio offers a real-world experience. But, a safe space isn't enough to engage youth and keep them coming. That's where caring adults who are trained in positive youth development come in.
Over the summer, S.A.Y. Detroit Play Center's staff joined seven other organizations that collectively operated 18 summer camp sites across Detroit to participate in the Youth Development Resource Center's first Summer Learning Program Quality cohort. This was funded by The Skillman Foundation through grants to YDRC and the National Summer Learning Association. This effort is an extension of YDRC's Acting with Data Learning Community, which offers data-driven youth program quality improvement support.
In May, S.A.Y. Detroit Play Center and the cohort of summer program teams attended a Summer Learning Institute to learn about key indicators for summer learning program quality, such as helping youth gain skills through hands-on collaborative learning.
In July and August, while kids filled the building, YDRC assessors and coaches visited S.A.Y. Detroit Play Center. They interviewed staff, observed the quality of activities with the Summer Learning Program Quality Assessment, and coached the staff as they identified improvement goals.
During the full-day observation in the music studio, program partner Notes for Notes provided a particularly engaging experience for youth. Why was it high quality?
Staff guided youth using questions rather than giving answers.
They used paired work groups and gave youth opportunities to plan and execute their ideas.
The whole group discussed the Center's values and how they could be incorporated into music — linking an abstract concept with a concrete experience.
When staff praised the youth for their great work, they included details about focus and creativity — all positive feedback that might motivate a young person to achieve more in another setting like school.
One improvement goal staff identified was working to make sure to offer youth reflection opportunities — whether on the basketball court or in the tutoring space. When adults give youth control over their own learning, in a supportive space that facilitates their creativity, anything is possible!


The report, produced jointly by Biocom Institute and California Life Science Institute, reflects on real-time information collected, in early 2018, by approximately 115 HR representatives and over 40 life science executives, as well as the in-demand technical skills and job titles from nearly 10k online job postings in 2017.

Primary Category: Performing Arts / Film, TV, Video
Genre: Film
Matthew Modine plays Joe Slovak, son of a West Coast fisherman, who goes to medical school and has a hard time adjusting. The film focuses on Joe and the members of his dissection group in Gross Anatomy. Joe, perhaps because of the proud independence of fishermen, goes through most of the film with a big chip on his shoulder, refusing to take things seriously, showing up late for dissection carrying a basketball, refusing to consider the feelings of hypothetical patients, etc., while everyone else is trying their hardest to become good doctors. He falls in love with dissection partner Laurie Rohrbach (Daphne Zuniga), but he has a hard time there, too.
When Joe's roommate David is kicked out, Joe goes home to think things over. He visits Dr. Rachel Woodruff (Christine Lahti), head of Anatomy who all along has been critical of his attitude but is now at home, incapacitated with lupus. She tells him of her disappointment in her own career ("I made doctors--people need healers.") and in him, because he has never wanted to be as good as she knew he could be. She pleads with him to commit to being a good doctor.
Switch to the group's all-nighter before finals and the sudden labor pains of the very pregnant member. They all rush off to the hospital, but don't make it, and Joe winds up delivering the baby on a table in a roadside diner (soft trumpet fanfare from the soundtrack). Between Dr. Woodruff, who dies at the end, and the delivery, Joe gets the message about commitment, and he winds up with both good grades and the girl.

Pityriasis rosea (PR) is an acute, self-healing disease having an incidence of 0.3–3%, with oval, erythematous, squamous lesions in the trunk and extremities, usually following precursor plaque formation [1, 2]. Although the onset of a pioneering plaque, followed by widespread secondary lesions, and subsequent spontaneous healing support infectious etiology, the exact etiology of the disease has not yet been established [3].
We hypothesited that there may be a relation between PR and H1N1, since both of them are prevalent in the same period as winter or season transitions. In the past, PR cases that are thought to be linked to immunological mechanisms against influenza subtype H1N1 have been presented [4, 5].
We aimed to investigate the effect of the H1N1 virus in PR in this study.
Between January 2016 and January 2017, PR patients who applied to Kırıkkale University Medical Faculty Hospital Dermatology Outpatient Clinic were included in the study. The patients were asked whether they had upper respiratory complaints (fever, cough, sore throat, joint and muscle pain) and influenza vaccination. Informed consent form was obtained from all patients. All patients were clinically evaluated every 2 weeks until recovery. Pityriasis rosea diagnosis by clinical examination was confirmed by skin biopsy and histopathological examination. Blood was drawn to biochemical tubes and a lesional skin tissue sample was taken with 5 mm punch biopsy instruments from PR patients. Blood collection and biopsy were done on the 7th day of the disease. Serum samples obtained from the blood and skin tissue samples were stored at –70°C in sterile conditions in Eppendorf conical tubes. IgM and IgG antibodies against influenza subtype H1N1 were investigated by an enzyme immunoassay (EIA)(Eastbiopharm, Hangzhou, China) test in serum of patients. H1N1 RNA was extracted from tissue samples of PR patients by a commercial kit (High Pure Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit, Roche Diagnostics, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Before RNA extraction, tissue samples were exposed to tissue buffer (Roche, USA) at 60°C overnight and vortexed well. Extracted RNAs were amplified by the real-time RT-PCR method (LightMix Modular Influenza A H1(H1N1), Tibmolbiol, (Berlin, Germany) (LC Multiplex RNA Virus Master, Roche Diagnostics, USA).
Twenty-one female and 12 male PR patients who applied to Kırıkkale University Faculty of Medicine Hospital Dermatology Outpatient Clinic were included in the study. The ratio of female to male patients was found to be 1.75 : 1. The patients' ages ranged from 18 to 46; their average age was 28.66. Seven of the 33 (23%) patients had positive IgM and IgG antibodies. It was found that none of these patients had influenza vaccination and 2 of the 7 patients had upper respiratory tract infection within 4–6 weeks prior to admission. Influenza subtype H1N1 RNA was not detected in the tissue samples of 33 PR patients.
In the etiology of pityriasis rosea, HHV-6 and HHV-7 viruses were implicated and studies were carried out. In some studies it has been shown that these viruses play a role in PR etiology. However, not all of the patients had evidence of HHV-6 or HHV-7 as the etiologic factor [6]. Therefore, it can be surmised that PR may have an infectious etiology other than HHV-6 and HHV-7.
In our study, IgM and IgG antibody positivity was detected in seven patients for influenza subtype H1N1, but no findings of this virus were found in skin tissue samples. IgM and IgG antibodies are detected by ELISA within 2 weeks after influenza subtype H1N1 inoculation. The peak antibody level for the virus is detected within 4–7 weeks after infection and decreases slowly. Anti-viral IgM and IgG antibodies can be detected for many years after infection [7]. It is difficult to comment on whether antibody positivity detected by ELISA in this study is an acute infection or antibody positivity to a previous infection.
If serologic results that we found in our study are acute and/or past infection markers, we can say that influenza subtype H1N1 does not play a role in PR etiology because tissue samples cannot detect influenza subtype H1N1 RNA. If the serological results reflect an acute infection, we can make several possible conclusions. First, we can say that influenza subtype H1N1 does not play a role in PR etiology. Secondly, we may consider that influenza viruses do not infect epithelial cells or induce a large viral load at such a level that the virus can be detected, as reported by Kwon et al. [4]. Thirdly, we can say that PR lesions are associated with increased cytokine release due to the inflammatory response during infection. Neurological symptoms of seasonal influenza virus infection are well known, but findings of this virus have not been detected in brain spinal fluid or tissue specimens. In this case, it was thought that neurological findings related to cytokine release increased with the inflammatory response [8]. Much like neurological findings, many studies have focused on the possible cause of immunity to viral immunity. The same situation may have been occurred in the pathology of PR, and thus PR may be a result of inflammation caused by cytokines that were released against to influenza subtype H1N1.
Finally, Bin et al. reported that the mean incubation period of the influenzae virus is 2 days (1–7 days) and the PCR results are positive on the 6th day of the disease (1–17 days) [9]. In our study, blood and skin tissue specimens from patients were taken on the 7th day after the onset of lesions. Another possibility is that this period is not compatible with the time of the virus. Due to the possible reasons mentioned above, we may not have been able to detect the virus RNA in the skin biopsy specimens. One of the shortcomings of our study is that the number of patients is low and there is no control group. It would be worthwhile to carry out this study with more patients and a control group.
According to the results of this study, we cannot determine a relationship between influenza subtype H1N1 and PR. To support this result, we believe that it would be appropriate to investigate influenza subtype H1N1 RNA from patients with acute influenza subtype H1N1 infection at appropriate times, in several consecutive skin biopsy specimens.

Amazon.com, Inc., the Seattle-based retail giant is reportedly planning to partner with Go-Jek, an Indonesia-based on-demand multi-service platform & digital payment technology group. According to sources, Amazon is in talks with Go-Jek to tap into the firm's Indonesian delivery infrastructure.
For the record, Amazon dominates online shopping in the U.S. and has a lucrative business in cloud computing. Amazon has moved into new online offerings as well, that includes groceries and entertainment segment.
Reliable reports cite that, in 2018, online shopping sales in Indonesia reached $12.2 billion in terms of gross merchandising volume. The retail giant took its first step into South-east Asia in 2017 when it penetrated into Singapore through Amazon Prime Now. Nonetheless, in Indonesia, with the region's largest and most promising market of the region with 260 million people, Amazon still has no presence.
However, with this investment, Amazon is expected to tap into the most populous market as per its plans to expand in Indonesia.
As per industry experts, Amazon is estimated to be worth $53 billion by 2025. In recent years, the tech-giant has moved into markets like India and Australia and has plans to compete against retailers like Shopee, Lazada Group and Tokopedia.
Meanwhile, in 2015, Go-Jek rolled out its app for hailing motor-bike taxis in Jakarta, and since then has evolved into a multi-tasking app, handling part digital-wallet provider, part ride-sharing service & part food-delivery business. The app also offers multiple on-demand services such as medicine delivery or booking a cleaner
According to reports, the Indonesia ride-hailing company recently raised a $100 million in funding from existing investor Astra. The funding was claimed to be a part of the firm's current Series F round and is reported to aid the firm grow its offerings in South-east Asia.

Editorial: Missions possible
By: Reporter 08/19/2021 1:00 pm
Missions possible
On its editorial page over the past few weeks, The Freeman's Journal has commented on, among other important issues, the fog-like haze that was smoke from the western wildfires that fell on the lake and village, leaving the air heavily dangerous for long periods of time, and the latest COVID surge that is gnawing, for the most part, on our unvaccinated and younger residents — children — as well as causing new concern among our older population. None of this was any good and all of it is sad and, no doubt to some, depressing.
However, for us here in Otsego County, this distant, remote upstate almost-forgotten (or, perhaps, not yet discovered) place, there is a special glimmer; something that can bring a smile; something to lighten our load and keep us on a happier track. Otsego Lake.
Nine miles of clear, deep water that laps endlessly on steep tree-lined shores and often reflects the changing sky and clouds and forest, the lake is a home to myriad fish and feathered wildlife, a reservoir for the village of Cooperstown and a summer and winter playground for boaters, tubers, swimmers, sailors, rowers, paddlers, divers, fishermen and water, and snow-skiers. Glacier-created during the last great Ice Age, and spring-fed as well as stream-fed, this superb natural resource is the headwaters of the Susquehanna River. In the past it has played a variety of roles in the Leatherstocking novels of James Fenimore Cooper, who called his – and our – beautiful lake The Glimmerglass.

Hyde Hall holds history
close to its heart, mission
The haunted mansion exudes an atmosphere
that is unlike any other in Otsego County
Hyde Hall brings to mind Shirley Jackson's famous opening for the Haunting of Hill House. Only in this case, the house stood for more than 200 years and will probably stand for 200 more.
Hyde Hall is something of an anomaly. It's a relic of the past, which does not exist anymore and was unusual even for the time, at least in Otsego County.
The breathtaking scenery surrounding Hyde Hall is enough to warrant a visit. At the top, where the house stands, you can look down at Otsego Lake and see all the way to Cooperstown.
The limestone house has a cold, intimidating demeanor, which is why it is a surprise the interior of the house feels warmer and much more decorative. Marketing Manager John Aborn describes it as an oyster with a pearl inside.
ELLSWORTH: Hugh's Legacy Linked To Famed Novelist
LETTER from CATHERINE LAKE ELLSWORTH
Hugh's Legacy Linked To Famed Novelist
Editor's Note: On hearing of Hugh MacDougall's March 6 passing, former columnist Cathe Ellsworth, now retired from Cooperstown to Mount Vernon, Ohio, resubmitted this column from Feb. 15, 2018, as a tribute to the James Fenimore Cooper expert.
Catherine Lake Ellsworth
We have recently learned that at the 21st International Cooper Conference, held in Oneonta last September, Cooperstonian Hugh MacDougall was recognized as founder of the Cooper Society and longtime Cooper Conference participant.
At the conference, a handout entitled "A Tribute to Hugh MacDougall" was distributed to the attendees. And while we have not had the opportunity to read all of the tributes to Hugh, we would like to share part of the one written by Steven Harthorn, the Cooper Society's executive director for publications.
Harthorn wrote: "Hugh MacDougall is an extraordinary person in many ways, and when spending time with him, it doesn't take long to recognize his vigorous energy or his
encyclopedic knowledge.
"One quality that has stood out for me as I have tried to carry on Hugh's legacy in editing the Cooper Society's publications is Hugh's passion for outreach. Hugh's vision for the
Cooper Society has made it distinctive in the world of author societies.

Cooperstown Historian Traces Roots
Of Mystery Novel To Cooper Daughter
Cooperstown Village Historian Hugh MacDougall fields a question from the Friends of the Library's Hilda Wilcox this afternoon after delivering a paper on "Elinor Wyllys," a little known 1845 novel by Susan Fenimore Cooper, daughter of James Fenimore Cooper. The courtroom scene in "Elinor," and her father's 1850 mystery novel, "The Ways of the Hour," were early examples of what continues to be a popular genre today, said MacDougall, an expert on the Cooperstown family of writers and a founder of the James Fenimore Cooper Society.

Home / Media / This year's Fifth Third Bike the Drive goes virtual!
People walking are five times as likely to be killed by a driver traveling 30 mph as one going 20 mph.
This year's Fifth Third Bike the Drive goes virtual!
Clare McDermott
clare@activetrans.org
Participants will enjoy Laugh the Drive — a comedy set featuring Chicago-based comedians plus other bike-themed perks
CHICAGO, IL, May 20, 2020 — After making the decision to cancel Fifth Third Bike the Drive because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Active Transportation Alliance knew many Chicagoans would still be craving a taste of this iconic event on Memorial Day Weekend. To help satisfy this craving and to support the organization's advocacy work in improving walking, biking, and transit in the region, we've created a Virtual Fifth Third Bike the Drive.
Active Trans is asking supporters to donate $20 or more and, in exchange, will receive access to the Virtual event taking place on Sunday, May 24 at 10 a.m.
During the hour-long program, participants will be treated to "Laugh the Drive," a comedy set featuring Jake Noll and Marz Timms.
Noll is a Chicago-based comedian and is a regular at the Laugh Factory and an understudy at Second City's e.t.c. Theater.
Timms is also a Chicago-based comedian who has served as the Chicago Bulls in-arena host, made appearances on the Netflix original series, Easy, and tours both locally and internationally.
In addition to Laugh the Drive, participants will also have a chance to try their hand at bike-themed trivia, get a print-at-home participation certificate, and hear from Active Trans' brand-new Executive Director, Amy Rynell.
"While nothing can replace the experience of riding Lakeshore Drive, we are thrilled to hold our first-ever Virtual Fifth Third Bike the Drive," said Rynell. "Donations raised through this event will help to fuel Active Trans' work fighting to improve conditions for people who walk, bike, and use public transit throughout the year."
Those who will be missing the beer garden at Fifth Third Bike the Drive can still enjoy a few beers while participating in the virtual event. Active Trans' sponsor, Revolution Brewing is selling a party pack featuring Ghost Ride, their bike-inspired Kolsch-style ale, plus sweet Rev Brew and Active Trans swag. Curb-side pickup is available and the party packs can be purchased online.
"As an iconic Chicago event, we are thrilled this event will continue virtually and Chicagoans can still kick off their biking season on Memorial Day weekend, albeit a little differently," said Mitch Feiger, Chairman and CEO, Fifth Third Bank (Chicago). "As the title sponsor, we look forward gathering together again at next year's ride."
Those who are interested in participating Virtual Fifth Third Bike the Drive can visit http://go.pardot.com/e/213232/givingday/d1p42/248589331?h=4CHYkG1iC-X9cNVB87yZGl6mbXb9v0wTWno4lpMKvhk to make the $20 donation and will be emailed the link to the event.
For 35 years, Active Trans has been fighting for sustainable transportation options that serve everyone in Chicagoland. The funds generated by Fifth Third Bike the Drive support better walking and biking infrastructure, help trails get built, and sustain our push for accessible and equitable public transit.
During the pandemic, this work has been moving forward with a renewed sense of urgency. In recent weeks, Active Trans has been working to support safe commutes for essential workers, it's rallied behind bike shops so that they could stay open as an "essential service," and it's been part of a campaign that successfully won operating assistance for public transit agencies in the emergency stimulus bill.
Active Trans is grateful for the support of Fifth Third Bank, and its continued financial commitment despite this year's event cancelation.

Where else to start but Paul Pogba? He's made a decent start with two goals in his first two league games, but continues to get the brunt of criticism from pundits when things go wrong, as they did against Brighton.
The France international just doesn't look quite right in this United side, and he'll need to influence big games like this one if he is to truly win the Paul Scholeses and Graeme Sounesses of this world. Though will Scholes dare anger Pogba's agent Mino Raiola again after this thinly-veiled threat?
As for Spurs, it will be interesting to see how Toby Alderweireld performs after continued links with United throughout the summer transfer window. If he has a solid display to shut out Alexis Sanchez, Romelu Lukaku and co. it will serve as just more fuel to Jose Mourinho's transfer angst fire – then again, if he sticks around long enough, maybe it means he'll get the signings he wants in future?
United lost and lost badly to Brighton. It may only have been 3-2 in the end, but they were distinctly second best throughout. Considering they were up against a team put together at a fraction of the cost of this Red Devils squad, that's a damning result.
As for Tottenham, they made it two wins out of two for the season with a 3-1 victory over newly-promoted Fulham, with Harry Kane even realising he can score in August, a duck broken at a bad time if you're a United fan.
Was the FA Cup semi-final. Tottenham took an early lead through Dele Alli and then did what Tottenham do best in those games…they bottled it.
Alexis Sanchez equalised with a superb header before Ander Herrera struck home the winner in the second half, making it two FA Cup semi-final defeats in a row for Mauricio Pochettino, who's still without a trophy for Spurs.
Well, Pochettino might not have a trophy yet as he heads into his fifth season in charge of Tottenham, but we're not sure Spurs fans would swap him for Mourinho right now.
The Portuguese will tell you he won three trophies in his first year at Old Trafford, but it's a sign of how far the mighty have fallen that he's bragging about the Community Shield, the League Cup, and the Europa League – one of those awarded for winning just one game, the other a trophy he once notably mocked Rafael Benitez for winning.
Jose Mourinho's tricky start to continue?
Still, head to head it's pretty even between these two, with three wins for Mou and two for Poch since the former took the United job in 2016.
If the Argentine can make that a third this weekend, one imagines that'll be big pressure on the man in the opposite dugout as talk hots up about Zinedine Zidane being primed to replace him (as per the Mail).
Spurs do have the habit of messing these games up, so relying on them after a bizarre lack of summer signings against a wounded United side at Old Trafford is undoubtedly risky.
However, this start by Mourinho's side just looks too similar to that 2015/16 meltdown at Chelsea, so we can't see them having the confidence or craft to find their way past such an organised defensive side who also have a frightening attack when the likes of Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen all click.
Sticking our necks out for a close 2-1 away win.
What's your prediction for Man Utd-Spurs?

Comfortable seat designs the sofa, amongst stories, and also thatched gazebo, it'll make a superb perception with your home. A fragile table lamp regarding fresh delphiniums or a rise using freshly embellished desserts will figure a scene.

How you can beat inflation and save money
Updated / Sunday, 10 Apr 2022 05:00
Although it started with energy prices, inflation has made its way through to other items like food costs but savings can be found in several areas of spending
Prices have been rising at their fastest pace in decades, but it's not that anyone needs reminding.
According to the latest figures form the CSO published this week, inflation hit a 22 year high of 6.7% in March.
The ESRI and the Central Bank both expect the annual rate of price increases to peak at 8% in the summer and will average at around 6% for the full year.
For anyone who started earning from the mid 2000s onwards, their experience of inflation has probably been fairly limited.
For much of the last decade, aside from rent increases and the occasional increase in public transport costs, inflation has been pretty much non-existent.
So, this is either a totally new experience, or for those who are old to enough to remember a bout of inflation from past times, it's probably a fairly distant memory.
Just think of it in the words of Warren Buffett who likened inflation to 'running up a down escalator.'
Here are a few ways to make the escalator travel a little slower.
The main driver of inflation is of course the cost of energy.
And while most of us have looked at the bills through our fingers for the past few months, the next electricity bill should at least contain something of a reprieve as the €200 credit has started to be applied to bills from the start of this month.
It appears on the bill as a credit of €176.22 (which is €200 excluding VAT).
Although a sense of gratitude towards the energy provider may be felt, remember it's exchequer money and not the provider so don't feel any obligation towards them.
All of the energy providers have increased their prices several times over the past year so increases are impossible to avoid.
The only way to limit the hikes to some extent is to keep switching providers when a contract comes to an end.
Most energy suppliers here offer discounted rates to new customers as a sign-up incentive.
"These deals usually expire after 12 months. At this stage, if you don't switch, your supplier will revert your plan to standard pricing and you'll pay more for the exact same service," Daragh Cassidy, head of communications of bonkers.ie advises.
And he says the process is easily done - all you really need is a recent gas and electricity bill to get your unique numbers and a meter reading.
Measuring your energy usage
If you're a night owl who doesn't mind doing some domestic duties into the small hours, it might be worth considering a Night Saver meter.
This works by charging a lower rate for electricity used after 11pm (or midnight in the summer months) up to 8 or 9am, depending on the time of year.
However, the standing charges are higher and the rate charged for energy used during the day is also higher than the regular tariffs.
It's estimated that more than 30% of the daily usage of electricity in a house would have to be consumed during these off-peak hours to make it worthwhile.
The night saver is considered most suitable for homes with electric storage heaters, electric car chargers and heat pumps.
Separately, smart meters are currently being rolled out to premises across the country, which means that as well as better monitoring your usage, estimated readings will become a thing of the past.
Smart tariffs, or time-of-use tariffs, are being introduced as part of the process, but like the night saver option, some of the more favourable rates are offset by higher rates at other times, so it's recommended to do some research on your energy usage before signing up to a pricing structure.
For two car households (with petrol or diesel powered motors), the burning question is should you continue burning those increasingly pricey fossil fuels?
As well as accounting for the price of the mechanically propelled lump of metal, the cost of insurance, motor tax and servicing is a considerable outlay every year.
Now, the cost of keeping it moving is escalating too, regardless of whether it's forecourt fuel or electricity from your own domestic supply.
For many households it could be a good time to reconsider the two car strategy and looking at getting one electric vehicle.
Although the ESB recently announced some hefty increases in the cost of charging a vehicle at its public charge points, which will take effect from next month, the cost of an entire charge at one of these points (that is, with no contribution from a home charge point) would still be cheaper than the cost of a fossil fuel alternative.
Using the example of a round trip from Dublin to Galway, approximately 400 kilometres, the ESB calculates that using one of its fast chargers on a pay as you go plan, would cost the motorist €26.67.
This compares to a diesel car cost of €37.34 for the same trip, it said.
Charging at home will save even more money, but those cheaper running costs have to be offset against the considerably more expensive price of an electric car, even one that's not brand spanking new.
Electric vehicles are in big demand at the moment and given the shortage in the second hand car market in particular, prices for used cars are already at a premium.
According to DoneDeal's Car Price Index, the price of electric and hybrid vehicles have increased by 19% and 25% year-on-year respectively.
Given that the average price of such vehicles is high anyway, that's a significant outlay.
It would take a lot of charging to make it worthwhile, but ultimately it's where we will all be going eventually.
Mortgage holders are switching providers at a healthy pace in order to unlock savings in their monthly repayments.
According to the Banking and Payments Federation in their most recent Mortgage Approvals report, remortgaging and switching was the fastest growing segment of the market.
And it's easy to see why. The savings can amount to hundreds or even thousands per year and the savings over the lifetime of the mortgage can be very substantial.
Alison Fearon, Managing Director of digital mortgage platform Switcheroo said there were a number of factors driving the behaviour.
"The arrival of non-bank providers who are competing on low rates and longer term fixes has really shaken up the market," she explained.
"Financially savvy customers are also aware that inflation is best tackled at a policy level with interest rate rises. We are seeing a significant amount of customers looking to fix over the medium to long term to avoid additional costs to their mortgage that will come with expected interest rate rises," she added.
One mortgage provider, ICS Mortgages, has already increased its fixed rates for new customers with other providers expected to follow suit in the months ahead.
Fixed rates can now be availed of for up to 25 or 30 years for as low as 2.65%.
"Don't wait for ECB changes to fix or you may have missed the possibility of lower repayments," Alison Fearon advises.
Aside from mortgages, savings can be made in the banking space by simply switching current account providers.
Some banks charge a flat fee structure, but others have a hybrid of a lower flat rate together with charges for individual transactions which, over time, can add up.
Some providers, for example, charge as much 20 cent for chip and pin transactions, and some charge up to 60 cent every time cash is withdrawn from the account.
Bonkers.ie calculates that up to €100 a year could be saved by switching to a bank with lower fees.
And the process has been made considerably more user-friendly with the Central Bank code of conduct for switching which all banks must comply with.
Although we're losing two providers with the departure of Ulster Bank and KBC from the market, a new entrant has come in the form of payments app, Revolut, which now offers current accounts and loans with further services to follow.
One rare bright spot in the most recent inflation figures was that the cost of motor insurance had dropped by 12% in the year to March.
But premiums had risen substantially in the years leading up to that.
A number of changes in the market - including the introduction of judicial guidelines aimed at reducing general damages awards as well as measures to end the practice of insurers penalising customers who remain loyal to them - appear to be helping to gradually drive premiums down.
However, the current stability in the price of cars due to scarcity of supply means that their residual values are not dropping as much as they once did, which might limit the drop in premiums in the medium term, making shopping around at renewal time as important as ever.
Another rare beam of sunlight through the clouds of rising prices came in recent weeks came from the VHI with the announcement of another tiered rebate of between €75 and €300 (depending on the price and complexity of the policy) which that provider's customers will benefit from in the weeks ahead.
All of the providers have been reducing their premiums in line with the once-off rebate of the state health insurance levy announced by the Health Insurance Authority last year.
"Whilst this is welcome news for all health insurance members, it's important to remind consumers of the need to shop around at each renewal to make sure you're on the best value cover," Dermot Goode of totalheatlhcover.com said.
"Research shows that around half of consumers are on the wrong plans and members aged 50 plus tend to be over-paying by 30% - 40% simply because they're remaining on dated plans," he advised.
The UN Food and Agricultural Organisation's latest food price index showed food prices rising at the fastest pace in 14 years, reaching a record high in March.
The impact of the war in Ukraine saw the annual rate of food price rises exceeding 33%.
While price increases are already making their way through to the supermarket shelves here, more hikes have yet to come.
Smarter shopping can help offset some of the increases. For example, supermarkets tend to place their higher yielding and more expensive items at eye level.
The cheaper products are often on the top or bottom shelves.
Another useful tip is to shop by comparing the price per unit rather than just going on the price.
"Under EU rules, the unit price - or price per unit of measurement - must be clearly displayed in shops on barcodes beside the actual price," Daragh Cassidy of bonkers.ie points out.
"It's amazing how many people either don't know this or don't see it. By looking at this you can determine what represents the best value and ensure you're not overpaying or being fooled by gimmicky offers," he added.
Don't just leave your cash sitting there
We saved record amounts of money in Ireland during the pandemic.
Total household deposits stood at a whopping €136 billion at the end of last year with over €11 billion added throughout the course of 2021.
The problem is that not only is that cash not making any return, but its value is effectively being eroded by sitting there as inflation soars.
"When it comes to the value of money, the only real means of beating inflation is through investing," Frank Conway, founder of the Irish Financial Review and Moneywhizz said.
He explained that investing in Ireland was often viewed through the prism of property or company shares, but the range of investment options available was far more complex.
"For those actively employed, pension contributions are one means of investing. This offers the added benefit of very generous tax relief on contributions, investment growth and also at drawdown with tax-free lump sum withdrawal allowances," he explained.
Outside of pension contributions, he pointed to various low-cost funds, including exchange-traded funds which he said offered the advantage of low costs, risk diversification and regular fund rebalancing to ensure the risk tolerance of the investor is met.
If interest rates are on course to rise, paying off debt is a good use of spare cash during an inflationary period.
Shorter showers and reducing your driving speed
Environment Minister Eamon Ryan's apparent suggestion that people might consider taking shorter showers was met with some bemusement. He also previously recommended driving more slowly to cut down on energy usage.
They can actually be quite effective measures. According to the US Environmental Protections Agency, leaving the hot tap to run for five minutes uses about as much energy as letting a 60-watt light bulb run for 22 hours.
In short, the longer you run the hot water, the higher your energy use and utility bills rise.
When it comes to car journeys, cruise control is your friend.
The key is to drive at a consistent speed. So, where the speed limit allows, driving at a speed of 100 kilometres per hour, it's claimed, uses 15 to 20% less fuel than driving at 120 kilometres per hour.
You could also consider giving up the car completely and cycling.
Under the Government's Cycle-to-Work Scheme, which has been running for 8 years now, an employer can pay for bicycles and bicycle equipment which can then be paid back through salary over 12 months.
No income tax, PRSI or the Universal Social Charge are levied on the repayments.
There is a limit of €1,250 per bicycle purchased and €1,500 for electric bikes.
For a higher-rate taxpayer buying a new bike for €1,000, it'll end up costing just over €500, spread out over 12 monthly payments.
Ask for a pay rise
Inflation effectively makes us poorer if our earnings are not rising to match the rate of price increases.
One of the simplest and most direct ways of combating it is to ask your employer to pay you more.
Some are in the fortunate position of being able to negotiate a pay rise to match or even beat the current rate of inflation, but for those on a fixed income or those dependent on welfare that's not an option.
Employers will be keen to keep pay increases to a minimum and an an official level it causes concern if wages are rising right across the economy as it can lead to what's referred to as a 'wage-price spiral'.
The request may be rejected but it's worth at least asking the question.

Q: creating a stored procedure that enables/disables(depending on passed parameter) all foreign keys (DB2, V10.5) Names of the foreign keys should be get from the system tables dynamicaly.
That's what I've got for now:
"select 'alter table ' ||tabname||' alter foreign key ' ||constname||' not enforced;' from syscat.references"
This following code outputs such queries:
alter table ADDRESS alter foreign key SQL161110091657410 not enforced;
alter table ADDRESS alter foreign key SQL161110091748740 not enforced;
alter table CLIENT alter foreign key SQL161110092705870 not enforced;
alter table CLINIC alter foreign key SQL161110091917520 not enforced;
alter table DOCTOR alter foreign key SQL161110091133120 not enforced;
....

Now I need to execute these queries in stored procedure (depending on passed parameter). The following code is incorrect, I attach it just to illustrate the problem:
db2 "create procedure fk_switch (sw IN varchar(3))
   begin
   declare var1 varchar(100), var2 varchar(100)
   if sw='off' then @var1=select 'alter table ' ||tabname||' alter foreign key ' ||constname||' not enforced;' from syscat.references
   execute @var1
   elseif sw='on' then @var=select 'alter table ' ||tabname||' alter foreign key ' ||constname||' enforced;' from syscat.references
   execute @var2
   end if;
   end;"

How do I write the results of selects into variables? can I execute them within procedure? or maybe there is another solution?
And yes, I know, that it can be solved by using bash, but my task is to create a stored procedure:)
Please share some links about db2 stored procedures.

A: The answer is that you could compose the SQL string (as "var1") within your procedure and would be able to use EXECUTE to run it, but not successfully. It is not possible to solve your problem with a stored procedure.
By taking a look at what SQL statements are supported in SQL routines (functions, procedures) you will notice that ALTER TABLE is not supported.

Time to make a huge game. I think that there are a lot of interesting things that you could do with this idea, including something a long ways out there, which is have it played with multiple groups.
In this game the different planes, fire, earth, prime material, hell, abyss, fey wild, and everything else, they are all being beset upon by an outside force, a massive massive outside force that is probably controlling one or some of them already and having them branch out against the others.
So in this game you pick different realms, probably fey wild, Sword Coast, Eberron, and whatever else you want and you start playing games in each of them where there are forces, maybe the elemental plane of fire and the abyss have been overrun by whatever this great force is, some evil deity most likely, that is bending them to their will. Have the players then deal with the threats showing up in their worlds.
Build this story up for some time that something is wrong in the abyss or the plane of fire, but don't really let on that there is a big bad guy, think that it's something smaller that is causing the unrest. Eventually have this dark force and their own army also show up in the realm. And here is where you might want to have one combined game for all the groups to spring the big reveal on them. Have this force s how up on all of their planes, and they all get transported to some pocket dimension or something like that where this being is controlling everything from. Then have there be a prophecy, but not one of those impossibly vague prophecies, but something something as specific that they basically have to find the pieces of Voltron or some god killing weapon, or even Dragon Balls.
Then you split back up and make the games take similar paths, but searching for this thing in their own realm. And they shouldn't really be able to interact with the other realms. Once each group has found their piece of the weapon, come back to together for a final epic battle.
I'd really recommend doing a set piece for this epic battle. As I think having loads of monsters around that the players aren't really fighting, but are kind of set dressing, but there should be some generals that each group of players need to take out to fight their way to the evil deity. Then some players are going to have to do a challenge to get the weapon assembled while the others are fighting off all sorts of monsters. The big thing is that they can't do damage to this deity without the weapon and the weapon is a one shot kill. So once they've gotten the weapon assembled, and you can do some interesting things with that, like them having to cast spells, deal with things in their minds that the deity might be doing to them, more than just roll a dexterity tinkering check. The other players can then be fighting off hordes and hordes of monsters, and make it cinematic and let them hit more than one thing with a swing, so minion type monsters that just pop, but also can pack a punch if they actually get to attack.
Then once the weapon is ready, take your DM control back, and basically narrate what happens. I wouldn't let it kill the deity, something that kills a deity besides another deity is too powerful, but it could banish him to a prison dimension, where he had been banished before, but had escaped from, or had been banished for a million years. The weapon should fall apart and Dragon Ball it out of there in it's separate parts.
That's where the campaign ends. I would pitch this when you are starting out in sessions zeros as an epic game that is going to be fought for the fate of all the planes. Hopefully every group will be in on the game, but really lean into that this is going to be bigger and more epic than other games. Also, with that, really let the players be heroes. As a DM, you should try and avoid having characters die in this game. Also, try and limit plane hopping, I'd maybe allow conversation to happen after that mid point of the game, but traveling between planes might be locked down by either the evil deity, or by good deities to prevent the spread of the evil deity. Definitely make this game big, and I also wouldn't make this game all that long. Power level your characters up, getting them to the mid levels by the mid point of the game, and then let them have level 20 for the epic fight, But this game doesn't have a ton of variety, so having them level up fast, almost as chosen ones, would make the characters seem really powerful.
I also know that I said, don't kill off the characters die in this game. The last session, that is out the window. If a character actually die dies, that's fine, that's the epic end, in fact, there should be a chance that everyone dies. At level 20, if it seems too easy, have plans to bump up monsters, add in different tougher monsters, add in lair effects and other hazards for the players, make it difficult on them, make them use up resources to get to the final skill challenge, and make them use resources there. Maybe the weapon needs some magic items put into it to power it, make them spend stuff that they've got. Maybe they need to load some spell slots into it, take away resources, and make them spend resources to get there, this should be tough. I'd give the deity a way to interact with them throughout the whole battle, so they might be fighting the deity's generals, but the deity is also causing them problems with large area effect spells and stuff like that, make it work for what you need, even if it "breaks" the D&D rules.
So what do you think of this game? Do you think it could be cool to run something this epic, or is it too simple and combat focused?

Watchmen: HBO Reminds Everyone Why Emmy Winner Regina King Is Queen
Posted on September 22, 2020 | by Ray Flook | Comments
Eleven Emmy Award wins isn't too bad of a way for Damon Lindelof's pseudo-sequel "remix" of the comic book classic Watchmen to wrap its "life cycle" as a series (even if there are additional seasons). The HBO series would earn the honor of being the first comic-book adaptation to walk away with the kind of gold. Along with Outstanding Limited Series, the night also saw statues going out to Yahya Abdul-Mateen II for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie, Lindelof and Cord Jefferson for Outstanding Writing for a Limited Series, Movie, or Dramatic Special, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for Outstanding Music Composition for a Limited Series, Movie, or Special, and more. But perhaps the biggest no-brainer of the night was Regina King winning for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie.
Angela takes that next step on Watchmen, courtesy of HBO.
With all serious respect to the other nominees, Watchmen found a way to be an ensemble series with a deep bench while never giving viewers a minute to forget who the focus of the series was on- and King's performance reminds you every second she's on the screen that this is Angela's story. But just in case you need a little reminder of just how fierce, poised, and heartfelt King's performance as Angela Abar aka Sister Night (aka Dr. Manhattan?) was, HBO presents a look back at her Emmy Award-winning performance in the clip below:

Bleeding Cool's Watchmen Reviews: A Look-Back
Bleeding Cool praised how powerful the Nicole Kassell (Castle Rock)-directed series premiere "It's Summer and We're Running Out of Ice" was (review here), while "Martial Feats of Comanche Horsemanship" kept the momentum going by deepening the conspiracies at play (review here). Jean Smart's Agent Laurie Blake took center stage in "She Was Killed by Space Junk", elevating the tension while serving as "devil's advocate" (review here).
"If You Don't Like My Story, Write Your Own" (review here), introduced us to Lady Trieu (Hong Chau), saw Angela (Regina King) look to Looking Glass (Tim Blake Nelson) for help when things started hitting too close to home and revealed how Adrian (Jeremy Irons) "trains" new servants as his escape attempts continued We learned Wade Tillman aka Looking Glass' "origin story" (and possibly his final days) in "Little Fear of Lightning" (our review here), as Agent Blake places Angela under arrest but not before she goes "nostalgic."
Angela and Dr. Manhattan meet again and for the first time on Watchmen (Image: HBO).
Angela comes to understand her true past and the truth about "This Extraordinary Being" Will (Louis Gossett Jr. – review here), a truth that starts with the formation of the Minutemen. "An Almost Religious Awe" (our review here) brought with it the major reveal that Dr. Manhattan has been with us the entire time, and he's a major part of the Seventh Kalvary's plan.
With the penultimate episode "A God Walks into Abar" (review here), we were offered a look back at the seeds of Angela and "Cal's" tragic (and apocalyptic) love story – the heart of our series. Which brought us to season/series finale "See How They Fly", where the machinations of the Seventh Kalvary, Sen. Keene, Lady Trieu, "Calhattan", Adrian, Angela, and Agent Laurie come to a head – as the world of Lindelof's Watchmen comes to an end… and to a beginning (review here).
