Local housing executives worry about declining affordability
Bakersfield real estate professionals lamented declining affordability within the local housing market during an online forum Monday that laid the blame on lack of inventory, state building requirements and rising demand from outside the area during the pandemic.
The hourlong discussion gave voice to frustrations from homebuyers and renters alike who are paying sharply higher prices than they would have even two years ago. Related concerns brought up Monday dealt with neighborhood gentrification and young people leaving their hometown for less expensive markets elsewhere.
None of the four professionals participating in the event predicted much positive change in the near term. But the immediate outlook sounded worse for renters than homebuyers, not only because builders are busy putting up new homes but also, rising interest rates are expected to cool the market.
No such moderating force is on the horizon in the rental market, property manager and Realtor Nik Boone said during the forum.
"It's as, if not more, cutthroat to rent a property as it is to buy a property right now," said the owner of Bakersfield's Ascend Real Estate & Property Management. "It's really, really frustrating for people to get into Bakersfield right now."
Monday's event, hosted by the Greater Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by Chevron Corp. and Dignity Health, focused on recent conditions, but it also compared and contrasted them with the housing bust of 2006-07 and its aftermath.
A big part of what's different now, some of Monday's speakers said, is that since the start of the pandemic, people from more expensive markets have flocked to Bakersfield's relative affordability within the state.
Bakersfield appraiser Gary Crabtree, a close observer of the local housing market who has worked locally for six decades, said many of the area's homeowners are not being priced out.
"I'm surprised at the number of locals that are buying," he said, adding that some who bought entry-level homes have since seen such strong price appreciation that now they may be able to move into a new home in a more desirable neighborhood.
Unfortunately, he said, an entry-level home in Bakersfield may have become "a thing of the past."
"We literally do not have an entry-level market anymore," Crabtree said, adding that's more a challenge for local first-time buyers than it is for people coming from other markets who expect to pay higher prices.
Another distinction that arose during Monday's discussion was the difference between the kinds of homes available locally as opposed to what's on sale in bigger markets.
Urban infill opportunities are becoming more common in already developed areas like downtown, commercial real estate developer Bruce Davis noted. But generally Bakersfield features homes with large yards, which he said allows more room for amenities.
Davis also pointed out a significant risk to losing Bakersfield's vaunted affordability: Locally raised children might not be able to afford to stay in the area. He went on to say that sometimes the related trend of gentrification may be inevitable but that in other instances it can be traced to outside factors that he did not name.
There was also talk Monday of how state requirements on new housing have driven up costs that can have a disproportionate effect in a relatively low-cost area like Kern. In that regard, Crabtree was critical of what he characterized as misplaced state policies that he said make little sense in Bakersfield.
CEO Derek Sprague of the Bakersfield Association of Realtors predicted home prices will continue to rise but that sales volume will decrease. If asking prices do drop, he said, buyers waiting on the sidelines will jump on the opportunity.
Crabtree sounded less convinced. He called the current seller's market unsustainable and said, "One thing's for sure. What goes up must come down."
A difference he noted between the aftermath of the last housing bust and the current market is the presence of outside investors.
After prices bottomed out more than a decade ago, Crabtree noted, investors snapped up homes for rent and only recently began offering them for sale. But these days, he said, the same type of investors seem to have moved on to stronger markets like Phoenix and Dallas.
"I don't think the buyers are back in Bakersfield buying up the inventory," he said.

Lady Gaga: I curated my life to be an expression of my pain
Lady Gaga overcame depression by creating her pop star persona, who was stronger than the real Stefani Germanotta.
The Bad Romance singer has been open about her personal struggles with mental illness, once admitting she felt like she was dying when crippling depression consumed her at the end of 2013. Thankfully the star is in a much better place now and she attended the Emotion Revolution Summit at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence on Saturday (24Oct15) to speak candidly about her experiences.
"I invented myself, Lady Gaga - I curated my life to be an expression of my pain," she said at the event, according to elle.com. "This is how I overcame my depression, by creating somebody that I felt was stronger than me.
"But... nothing was able to fix how I was genetically made. I was born this way. No matter how much success you have, no matter how many opportunities, fame, fortune—no matter how many people accept you, to your face, the person that really needs to accept you is you."
Gaga feels so strongly about raising awareness for mental health and emotional stability that her Born This Way Foundation sponsored the summit.
Having faced media scrutiny ever since she broke into the music industry in 2008, the star knows how important it is to be true to yourself, not to try and be someone you are not for the benefit of others.
"(This is) why we're here today," she continued. "We're going to talk about why it's important to accept yourself, why it's important to empower yourself, and why it's important that emotional intelligence is taken seriously."
Before her speech, the 29 year old launched the #IAMNOTJUST campaign on Instagram and Twitter. The star shared posts from her own followers and hopes it will start an "emotion revolution".

Q: Is there any upper limit for de broglie wavelength due to zero point energy? We know that the lower the momentum a particle has the higher will be its de Broglie wavelength, so is there any upper limit to the de Broglie wavelength of electron or any other particle due to the zero point energy of vacuum which prevents further reduction in momentum?

A: Since the electron is a very light particle, when we talk about the case of zero momentum, i.e. the particle is at rest and it's position is well defined, this means that uncertainty in its momentum is infinite, so there is no case of zero momentum. (We use Compton wavelength for this case)
Further, zero point energy itself can be deducted from uncertainty principle, so we can informally say that uncertainty principle imposes upper bound for the De Broglie wavelength.

It's a hard life for a mistaken Al Qaeda militant
February 29, 2012 · 8:42 PM UTC
By Erin Cunningham
Saif Al-Adel, a suspected terrorist wanted in connection with the 1998 bombings of the United States Embassies Tanzania and Kenya, is shown in a photo released by the FBI October 10, 2001 in Washington, DC. Courtesy FBI/Getty Images.
CAIRO, Egypt – On the run for more than a decade, why would Mohammed Ibrahim Makkawi return to Egypt, where he's wanted on charges of conspiracy to commit terrorism?
Because living a life where you're constantly mistaken for an even more hardline jihadist – Al Qaeda's Adel Al Saif, also Egyptian – is apparently worse than potentially spending the rest of your years in Egyptian prison.
Makkawi, who was once a member of Egypt's Islamic Jihad and whose name was mistakenly published by the FBI as one of Al Saif's aliases, for years suffered harassment from authorities – even after denouncing Al Qaeda and living as a political refugee in Pakistan.
Fed up with the trouble, and somehow managing to secure travel documents from the Egyptian embassy in Islamabad, according to CNN, Makkawi decided to hop on a plane to Egypt to clear his name once and for all.
Of course, he was immediately nabbed at the airport as Al Saif – but Egyptian police quickly changed their tune and confirmed it was in fact Makkawi, a case of mistaken identity.

An Egyptian ministry official told GlobalPost he would be referred to the state security prosecutor's office for any legal charges he may face. According to CNN, he is still charged with terrorism and conspiracy to topple the regime. Makkawi fled Egypt to Pakistan in the late 1980s.
But following decades of persecution under Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak – although many of them did commit violent crimes – the Islamists are experiencing a new era in Egyptian politics.
Following the ouster of Mubarak last year, hundreds of Islamist prisoners, violent and non-violent, were released from Egyptian prison (some also escaped).
Many who had participated in assassinations or attempted assasinations were set free, having rejected the armed struggle. Political Islamist parties just swept Egypt's parliamentary elections and now hold a majority in the people's assembly.
"I came to Tahrir to lead the way to a good Islamic life," one former Islamic Jihad prisoner, Sheikh Adel Shehato, told me at a protest in Nov. 2011. He was held for 20 years. "We are fighting for bin Laden. There is no armed struggle, but our fight against the Pharonic regimes is on a mental level."

Makkawi may have been a high-profile arrest, and his militant activities go back to the 1980s.
But in Egypt's new political climate, with Islamists in the parliament and jihadists in Tahrir, I wouldn't be surprised if the charges are dropped and he's free to go.

We must begin to ask ourselves if the foreign labour market is worth dying for.
The controversy over the Qatari police allegedly trying to recruit Nepali nationals for its security forces has resurfaced this week. This follows the fiasco, in November last year, that the Qatari police had tried to bypass Nepal's foreign employment rules. The issuance of a visa to a Nepali national last week under the category Police Army Staff for work in Qatar has raised suspicion among Nepali authorities that migrant workers are being sent to the Gulf state illegally.
Qatar had recruited 179 youths legally in the first phase early last year, but had allegedly bypassed the government's guidelines while recruiting 300 youths in the second phase. Nepal had suspended three recruitment companies that were found to be involved in conducting interviews for recruitment without following the due process. Government officials have said they are trying to ascertain the authenticity of the visa and check whether the alleged wrongdoing is the handiwork of the Qatari police or of local manpower companies duping job seekers by misusing the name of the Qatari police this time. However, as the Post reported on Monday, the candidates are being asked to pay a hefty sum of over $6,000 for getting the security force job. This means that the agencies have possibly returned to business clandestinely.
In addition, there are reports that foreign employment agents are already recruiting Nepalis through India after the Nepal government refused to release labour permits and started raiding Nepali manpower companies. If this is true—as Foreign Employment Department Director-General Kumar Prasad Dahal thinks it is—it is a case of human trafficking, and the government must take this matter up with India and Qatar immediately to ensure that Nepali youths seeking foreign employment are not duped once again.
Qatar has been a major labour destination country for Nepali migrant workers, with 31.8 percent of them taking up jobs in the Gulf country in 2018-19. The ongoing controversy does no good to the relations between Qatar and Nepal, both of whom have been inter-dependent on each other for labour force and remittance respectively. The Nepal government cannot afford to remain lenient this time, and should conduct a swift investigation to bring the wrongdoers—if any—to book at the earliest.
But there are other things too that Nepal must consider as it begins to crack down on the alleged malpractices. It must begin to consider how its image is being shaped into that of a manpower country, as it encourages its youths to spend their lives toiling in foreign labour destinations. That does not mean Nepal can afford to impose a complete check on foreign labour migration. Remittances account for over a quarter of the country's gross domestic product. Nepal received a financial remittance of $8.79 billion in 2018-19 apart from the skills the migrant workers learn.
But along with the financial benefits come problems including deaths and amputations among the migrants that are part and parcel of high-risk jobs. The fact that Nepal receives three dead bodies of migrant workers on an average each day shows how foreign labour is an ongoing national tragedy. Nepalis expressed shock and dismay as 18 coffins of deceased Nepali migrant workers repatriated from Malaysia were offloaded from a Nepal Airlines aircraft on Saturday. It's about time we began asking whether the foreign labour market is really worth dying for. It definitely is not, if we have the audacity to begin thinking about how we can create more employment opportunities for youths within the country itself.

April 2007 entries
Grrrreat. *insert sarcasm*
Imagine my elation when I opened my email to see this update in my inbox this morning:
Air Force Might Cut Pay For Surge
Military.com/Christian Lowe
The Air Force's top officer said Wednesday that if nearly $1 billion in personnel funds taken from the service to pay for combat in Iraq and Afghanistan isn't restored by the end of the summer, Airmen and civilian employees might not get their pay.
Due to a congressional delay in approving a wartime supplemental funding bill this year, the Pentagon pulled about $880 million from the Air Force's personnel accounts to make up for a shortfall it warned lawmakers would come in mid-April.
Poll: Should Air Force personnel be used to man Army billets in Iraq?
Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Michael "Buzz" Moseley said at a breakfast meeting with reporters today that the money is coming out of the military personnel account earmarked for the last four months of the year.
"Somebody's going to have to pay us back," Moseley said. "You have to pay people every day when they come to work."
"A: it's the right thing to do, and B: it's kind of the law," he added.
Alert: Tell your public officials how you feel about this issue.
The shortfall could delay permanent change of station moves, temporary duty expenses and other pays that "take care of people," he said.
On April 15, the Army announced it would have to cut training, depot repair, and maintenance of non war-related gear because funding for the surge in Iraq, combat operations in Afghanistan and other Global War on Terrorism costs was running dry.
The Army also requested that about $1.6 billion be diverted from the Air Force and Navy personnel accounts to help put the wartime funding tab in the black.
With Congress locked in a political battle with the Bush administration over withdrawal deadlines and troop rotation schedules, the $100 billion wartime spending bill to pay for operations through the end of the fiscal year has yet to be signed into law.
Though both the Senate and House have submitted the supplemental bill to the floor for a vote this week, President Bush has vowed a veto over withdrawal deadlines inserted into the law.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Peter Pace has said if the wartime funds aren't in place by mid-May, even more drastic cuts will have to be made, including reductions in training for forces on their way to Iraq, which will force the Pentagon to extend the deployments of units already there.
"The comptroller now has a check that they're going to have to give us back to pay for [personnel] as we get closer to the end of the summer," Moseley explained, putting the screws to Pentagon and administration budgeteers to recoup the loss.
"I don't want to have any concerns about getting that money back," he said. "It would be a breach of faith to take mil-pers money out of a service and then fast forward a couple of quarters and then just say 'eat it.'"
Moseley said he'll resist providing Airmen to man jobs the Army and Marine Corps can't fill due to high operational tempo and increased demand, insisting his service is "drawing some red lines" to deny ground commanders' requests.
About 20,000 Air Force personnel have filled shortfalls in the ground services' manning – dubbed "in lieu of taskings" – including convoy and base security operations and even detainee handling jobs. As early as 2005, Air Force security personnel began augmenting Army detainee-handling troops at Camp Bucca prison near Baghdad and have continued to man prison jobs in Iraq.
"We don't guard prisoners, we don't even have a prison," Moseley said. "To take out people and train them to be a detainee-guarding entity requires time away from their normal job."
Some U.S.-based Air Force commands have as many as 25 percent of their personnel deployed to Iraq and are still executing their home station duties. For example, the San Angelo, Texas-based 17th Training Wing has its crash, fire, and rescue teams and security force units deployed "and we're still operating the wing," Moseley said.
Moseley said he's happy to provide personnel with job skills the Air Force has in abundance, including drivers and information technology specialists. But "I am less supportive of things outside of our competencies," he said.
"We've drawn some red lines on some of the 'in lieu of' taskings to get away from the tasking of our folks that is incredibly outside the competencies."
While I imagine the true odds of servicemember pay getting cut in the end, this is disturbing for obvious reasons. The consequences of this borrowing are very real for our family.
I'm sure either side of the war spending debate could spin this to their fancy...those in favor of the legislation could bolster their argument that this war is a debacle and entirely too expensive and is taking a toll on our resources and servicemembers in dramatic ways. On the other hand, those against the legislation could argue that more money is precisely what the war effort needs so as to avoid this borrowing-from-servicemember-pay situation.
Regardless, the political wrangling and the congressional delays over war funding are impacting the military community in very real ways and in some that most probably have never considered before.
Figure it out. Take care of those who are fighting on your behalf. One way or another.

"Here Comes Your Man" -- The Pixies (another remnant of my unversity experience)
"Glory & Consequence" -- Ben Harper (I *heart* Ben Harper and this is one of my all-time favorites)

"Don't Stop Believin'" -- Journey (cheestastic!)
"Cruel" -- Calexico (one of my favorite senso tunes and recent favorite artists)
"Solsbury Hill" -- Peter Gabriel (one of my favorite Peter Gabriel tunes. Though I was irritated when I heard this in a Cingular ad the other day; for some reason, the use of a good song in a commercial sullies it for me. )
"Joyful Girl" -- Ani DiFranco (you might as well know: I love Ani's music. She's a phenomenal songwriter and performer; I have a relationship with so many of her songs and this is one of them)
"In a Daydream" -- The Freddy Jones Band (great Chicago band and this is their best tune, IMO)

One of the most common forms of fire sprinkler back-ups is to have a battery available in case the electricity is unavailable to a particular part of your building. It's not unexpected to have fire eat through electrical cables, causing outages to the very sprinkler system that should be protecting your building. When you have a standby battery option, you're protecting your building and your staff from the danger of a fire that is raging out of control.
As your sprinkler system is starting up, your system will often have a booster pump to help equalize pressure early on. Also known as a jockey pump, this system helps maintain pressure during times of extreme stress, but is not powerful enough to bring the system up to full pressure by itself.
Keeping additional sprinkler heads on hand is extremely important. Each sprinkler head comes equipped with bulbs that are set to break at specific temperatures — which is what triggers them to become operational. While unusual, sprinkler heads can be triggered accidentally, and if you don't have adequate additional sprinkler heads on hand you may be leaving your building without the fire protection that you need. Replacing worn or outdated sprinkler heads is something that your fire protection partner can review on a regular basis as part of your ongoing maintenance strategy.
Keeping your fire protection system in tip-top shape is critically important, as it can not only reduce the chance of injury in a fire but also provide you with quick notifications that you have a problem. At AAA Fire Protection, our industry-leading 24/7/365 support ensures that you are always protected and that you will always be able to speak with a human when you call. Contact us today at 855-778-7807 anytime with questions or to learn more about our fire protection services for your business.


West Ham defender Issa Diop produced an assured display at the back for his side on Sunday and he has made into Garth Crooks' team of the week.
The Hammers battled out a 0-0 draw against Chelsea and Diop was excellent in dealing with the likes of Hazard and Giroud.
BBC pundit Garth Crooks has heaped praise on the young defender for his performance.
The 21-year-old seems to be adjusting well to the Premier League and the fans can expect more commanding displays at the back in future.
Pellegrini spent 25 million pounds on the young defender this summer and his quality is there for everyone to see. Judging by his displays against Everton and Chelsea, Diop certainly has the ability to justify his fee this season and prove himself as a bargain in the long run.
West Ham have improved defensively in their last couple of outings and Diop has been excellent in both. The fans will be hoping for more of the same as the season progresses.

BRC: More Than 1 in 10 UK Shops Now Empty
Written by: Keith Tully
Published: 23rd November 2012
With retailers such as Comet, JJB Sports and Clinton Cards disappearing from our high streets, new figures that show 7.6% of London's shops are now vacant have come at little surprise.
The survey, produced by the British Retail Consortium (BRC), painted a bleaker picture outside of the capital with more than 1 in 10 shops being dormant across UK towns and villages.
The BRC said the overall town centre vacancy rate of 11.3% was the lowest figure since it began the regular nationwide survey in July 2011.
A fifth of store units are currently empty in Northern Ireland, while the rate for Wales is 15.1% and for the North & Yorkshire region the rate is 14.6%.
Other well-known brands such as Blacks Leisure, Game and Peacocks have also disappeared or scaled back their presence on the high street after entering administration.
BRC director general Stephen Robertson said the new figures would set "alarm bells ringing" as it confirmed the financial challenges for both customers and retailers were far from over.
"Many retailers are battling stagnating sales and rising costs, and next year's threatened business rates increase can only make matters worse," Mr Robertson said.
"If the Government wants to breathe life back into our town centres and ensure the retail industry can play its full role in job creation, it needs to freeze rates in 2013."
A Department for Communities and Local Government spokesman said: "Empty shops are a wasted economic opportunity that spoils the town centre. That is why we are proposing to scrap the damaging red tape that is keeping so many shops boarded up, allowing young entrepreneurs to open pop-up shops and turn the high streets into an exciting start-up launch pad.
"The best thing Government can do to help businesses is to provide them with a stable economic environment, which is why we want to protect local firms from soaring tax bills. We've postponed the revaluation, which will stop soaring tax bills for 800,000 firms, and given businesses the option of spreading this year's increases out over three years."
One member of the public predicted an end to the high street as we know it, unless there's a dramatic change.
"Landlords, councils and HMRC beware. Soon many businesses will give up on the high street. If taxes and rents are not heavily reduced, there will be no more tax or rent to collect. Once businesses realise that they no longer need a shop, customers habits will have changed and the effects will be irreversible. The high street in many towns will be nothing but coffee shops, charity shops and tumbleweed. And those overpriced 'to let' units will be of no use to anyone."

China FTA round three next month
'Silver economy to impact consumption patterns'
Silver economy which is emerging as a result of population ageing will have a profound impact on consumption patterns and the Sri Lankan economy as a whole.Advancements in healthcare and medicine...
Tuesday, May 3, 2016 - 01:00
China is a promising market for Sri Lanka's select, premium products such as gems –and an important round of bilateral talks on Lanka-China FTA is scheduled for next month.
Updating the Lankan business community on the country's latest global trade developments, Minister of Industry and Commerce Rishad Bathiudeen revealed the government's intention to review Trans Pacific Partnership further, before any action.
"When reviewing the garment sector, we need to be able to carefully address the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement," said Minister Bathiudeen on 29 April in Colombo.
Minister Bathiudeen was addressing the "Meet the Minister" session organised by the National Chamber of Commerce of Sri Lanka on 29 April joined by National Chamber of Commerce President Thilak Godamanna, National Chamber of Commerce Secretary General/CEO Bandula Dissanayake and Members of NCC as well as the Minister's top officials.
"Being a founding member of GATT and WTO, Sri Lanka is committed to pursue an outward-oriented trade regime following the principles of the WTO, with a view to enhancing overseas market access for our export products and achieving greater integration into the world economy.
The Indo-Sri Lanka Free Trade Agreement and the Pakistan-Sri Lanka Free Trade Agreement allow more than 4,000 product lines to be exported to these two markets at zero duty.
Sri Lanka actively involves in Joint Economic Commissions and bilateral forums with a number of countries in order to enhance our trade and commercial relations," said Minister Bathiudeen and added: "When reviewing the garment sector, we need to be able to carefully address the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement under which tax free garment export opportunities have been given to countries such as Vietnam. This has enabled them to engage in competitive markets and supply the American, Chinese and Japanese markets at low rates. This may also affect exports from Sri Lanka in the future. TPP must therefore be reviewed further. In this context, arrangements are under way to hold the third round of negotiations for China-Sri Lanka FTA in June this year."
Minister Bathiudeen refrained from giving any further details on China FTA talks on 29 April. Trade between Sri Lanka and China crossed the $4 billion last year for the first time in the bilateral trade history, surging by 17% from 2014's $3.58 billion 93% of 2015's total trade consisted of imports from China-mainly iron & steel, fabrics & fibres, cotton, and Urea fertiliser.
Responding to questions by business reps from the gem and jewellery sector at the session, Minister Bathiudeen said: "We are working on further product diversification to China. There is no doubt that China will be a promising market for select, premium products such as Lankan gem and jewellery items."

It was easy for Ron Francis to be "Captain Class," a moniker Sports Illustrated once hung on him. He only needed to be himself.
"In a sports era that celebrates the loud, the lewd, the boorish and the belly-pierced, Francis has quietly slipped through the cracks and into the record books," Gerry Callahan wrote in his 1997 Sports Illustrated profile of Francis. "He has flourished without an act, an attitude or a designer ego."

Savoia 1908 is an Italian association football club located in Torre Annunziata, Campania. It currently plays in Eccellenza.
It is one of the oldest companies in southern Italy. It was founded on 21 November 1908 by a group of industrial mills and pasta factories, with the help of other characters from the middle-class of Torre Annunziata. The social color is white, the color of the raw material of Torre Annunziata economy of the time: the flour. The symbol of the club is the stylized Savoy shield and plays its home games in the Alfredo Giraud Stadium. They won the championship of Southern Italy in 1924, obtaining the honor to face the national champions of Genoa.[2]
From U.S. Savoia to U.S. Torrese[edit]
Founded in 1908 as Unione Sportiva Savoia, after the homonymous Italian royal family at the time, the team played the Italian Serie A league finals in 1924, losing to Genoa C.F.C.
In 1915 the company became affiliated to the Italian Football Federation and the first official tournament played was the International Cup, played in Naples in 1916 with Naples, Puteoli, Bagnolese and Internazionale and finished in 3rd place. During the Great War he won the third-rate Campano championship and on 3 November 1919 lost the play-off for admission to the First Category against Pro Caserta, he participated in the Promotion League 1919-1920 where, although he came third, he was admitted to the First Category 1920-1921 for the enlargement of federal cadres. In this period the club absorbed the second town team of Pro Italia, and on 13 June 1920 the Campo Oncino was inaugurated.
In the first two seasons in top flight the club did not pass the regional phase, obtaining a third and a second place, with first driving Fornari and then Garozzo. Subsequently, even under the control of Voiello, there was the first and biggest winning cycle in the history of the club, which won three consecutive titles of champion of Campania, a title of champion of central-southern Italy and disputed the double final Scudetto of 1924 lost against the Genoa. Until then the champions of central-southern Italy had always suffered defeats by the great clubs of the north, but after the honorable defeat of the first leg by 3–1, in the return leg the Savoia entered the history of Italian football by drawing for 1- 1 with the eight-time champions of Italy, becoming the first club in central-southern Italy to end a race. Coach of that triennium was Raffaele Di Giorgio supported by Wisbar in the last two years. This is the eleventh second in the league: Visciano, Nebbia, Lobianco, Cassese, Gaia, Borghetto, Orsini, Ghisi I, Bobbio, Mombelli, Maltagliati.
From the thirties, in the first five years of which was the name of Fascio Sportivo Savoia, the club played steadily in Serie C until after the war, excluding the two years 1936–1938, becoming first Football Association Torre Annunziata and then Spolettificio Torre Annunziata, in fact a team military consisting mainly of footballers who held the lever in the city barracks, which regained the Serie C dominating the league with fourteen wins and a draw in sixteen matches. With the purchase of Enrico Colombari, who ended his career as a footballer in Torre Annunziata and started as a coach, the club ranked second in 1938-1939 behind the MATER of Fulvio Bernardini ; then, with Osvaldo Sacchi as a trainer, he obtained in 1939 the best result ever in the Italian Cup, in which he reached the final sixteenths; subsequently, with Ruggero Zanolla, he arrived fifth in 1940–41 and third in 1942–43.
In 1944, for political reasons, had to renounce both the emblem of the Savoy, the symbol of the club, both the name changed first in Ilva Torrese and then in Unione Sportiva Torrese. During the last years of the Second World War he participated in the 1944 Liberation Cup and the 1945 Campano Mixed Championship, placing himself second and ninth respectively. At the resumption of the championships the Torrese was classified fourth in 1945–46, which thanks to the renunciations of Benevento and Gladiator, earned it the first promotion in Serie B of its history. Under the presidency Carotenuto, the technical guide of Dario Compiani and with the goals of the attacking trio Eugenio Calleri, Renato Ghezzi and Secondo Rossi, the team was classified sixth in 1946–47, which is today the highest point reached by the company from the establishment of the single round. With the reduction of the federal cadres, the 12th place of 1948 sanctioned the return in Serie C. From that year the club began to weaken by establishing a slow decline in which there were 4 retrocessions compared to a single promotion up to the bankrupt in 1955, the year that also saw the closure of the Campo Formisano that had hosted the whites for about a quarter of a century.
U.S. Savoia[edit]
In 1955 a new club restarts as Unione Sportiva Savoia 1908, relegating down to Serie D and even Promozione. Two consecutive promotions, in 1964 and 1965, led Savoia to Serie C, where however played just for one season.
In 1978/1979, Savoia was admitted by the Italian Football Federation to the newborn Serie C2 division, playing at that level until 1981/1982. Savoia returned to play Serie C2 eight years later, and promoted to Serie C1 in 1994/1995 after playoffs under coach Luigi De Canio. In 1998/1999, under coach Osvaldo Jaconi, popular for his successful years at Castel di Sangro, Savoia qualified for the Serie B promotion playoffs. In the playoff semifinals, Savoia sensationally eliminated Palermo, winning both the matches, and defeating 2–0 Juve Stabia in a final, and also a derby between two rival teams. In 1999/2000, despite a fairly good start, Savoia quickly entered into crisis, and Jaconi was fired at the 14th day, being replaced by Franco Varrella, who however was unable to save the team from relegation. After an unenthusiastic Serie C1 campaign in 2000/2001, in the next summer Savoia was cancelled because of financial troubles. On those days, an Eccellenza club from Naples, Internapoli, accepted to relocate to Torre Annunziata and switched its denomination to Intersavoia, quickly obtaining promotion to Serie D. Following that promotion, the team has assumed the former denomination.
At the end of the 2008–09 Serie D season the club was relegated to Eccellenza, but was excluded from that championship during the following season.
A.C. Savoia 1908[edit]
In the summer 2010 the club was refounded as A.S.D. Calcio Savoia and restarts from Promozione: in this season 2010–11 it was promoted to Eccellenza Campania and became the current denomination. Also in the next season it was promoted, now to Serie D. In the season 2013–14 it was promoted to Lega Pro as Serie D/I winners. The next season they were relegated back down to Serie D.
In the season 2017–2018 it was promoted to Serie D as Eccellenza Campania winners. In the summer of 2018 the club was renamed U.S. Savoia 1908.
The club moved back to Eccellenza in 2021 after swapping their football title with Giugliano.[3]
In November 2022 the club was acquired by a consortium headed by Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy, Prince of Venice, who was appointed as the new chairman.[4]

The use of wine tasting descriptors allows the taster to qualitatively relate the aromas and flavors that the taster experiences and can be used in assessing the overall quality of wine. Wine writers, like Karen MacNeil, author of The Wine Bible, differentiate wine tasters from casual enthusiasts; tasters attempt to give an objective description of the wine's taste (often taking a systematic approach to tasting), casual enthusiasts appreciate wine but pause their examination sooner than tasters. The primary source of a person's ability to taste wine is derived from his or her olfactory senses. A taster's own personal experiences play a significant role in conceptualizing what he or she is tasting and attaching a description to that perception. The individual nature of tasting means that descriptors may be perceived differently among various tasters.
Aftertaste: The taste left on the palate after wine has been swallowed. "Finish" is a synonym.
Alcoholic: A wine that has an unbalanced presence of too much alcohol.
Aroma: The smell of a wine. The term is generally applied to younger wines, while bouquet is reserved for more aged wines.
Astringent: An overly tannic white wine.
Autolytic: Aroma of "yeasty" or acacia-like floweriness commonly associated with wines that have been aged sur lie.
Baked: A wine with a high alcohol content that gives the perception of stewed or baked fruit flavors. May indicate a wine from grapes that were exposed to the heat of the sun after harvesting.

Powerful: A wine with a high level of alcohol that is not excessively alcoholic.
Raisiny: A wine (usually red) with a slight taste of raisins resulting from the use of grapes that were overripe when picked.

Vanillin: An oak induced characteristic aroma reminiscent of vanilla.
Vegetal: A wine with aromas and flavor reminiscent of vegetation as opposed to fruit or floral notes.

She told my mom that while I was a good student, I had lied to the class about flying over both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans many times. My Mom gently explained to her that I was born in Asia and that we had also lived in Europe. My teacher couldn't believe the amount of traveling I had done at only 5 years old!

Is it ever okay to flirt while in a relationship?
How to feel confident in the bedroom when acting sexy makes you cringe

Words by Evangeline Polymeneas
A couples therapist weighs in.
Flirting is an international language. Whether it's the bat of your eyelashes, a quick up-and-down glance, or holding eye contact for just that bit longer than usual, there are plenty of ways to communicate your sexual desire to another person.
In recent years, conversations on the perimeters of monogamy have crept into everyday life, as more and more people start to question its inherent value. This has led to closer examination of whether flirting is crossing the boundaries of respectful relationships, or whether it's totally fine.
Looking for more thought-provoking reads? Try our Life section.
If you're in a monogamous relationship, flirting tends to be largely private and directed towards your significant other. But is there an argument for practising your flirting techniques on others, or flirting simply for a bit of fun? To get a better idea, I spoke to couples therapist, Mukti Jarvis, on whether it's okay to flirt with other people while you're in a relationship.
"It's risky territory," Mukti says. "Your partner might see something in your flirty behaviour that you're not necessarily conscious of, or they might enjoy seeing you flirting with someone else, or it might [make them feel] insecure in the relationship. You might be acting out some unmet need for attention, sexual connection or significance.
"Go there if you like, just know that flirting is kind of cheating if you're stretching the boundaries of intimacy beyond you and your partner's description of monogamy," she says.
So, is it actually flirting?
There are subtle nuances that turn friendly behaviour into flirting, so Mukti suggests having open conversations with your partner until you have a clear understanding between the two of you, on what feels okay and what doesn't, so you can respect and take care of your relationship.
To do this, it's important to understand the meaning of monogamy and flirting. "Monogamy is really the keeping of your intimate sexual and romantic attention and energy for just the person that you're in a relationship with," Mukti explains.
"[Flirting] is a behaviour where you're teasing or challenging, in a way that is slightly more intimate than what is aligned with the current level of the relationship. Flirting is essentially inviting the other person to come closer to you emotionally, physically, or sexually. It's designed consciously or unconsciously to create sexual interest and tension."
She explains that flirting is designed to create sexual interest and tension, and therefore has the potential to be read as an invitation, whether intended or not. "Clearly then, it can quite easily be upsetting for your partner if you're flirting with someone else," Mukti says. "Just how much flirtatious energy you expend and where the line is, has to be something you and your partner are both comfortable with."
Setting your boundaries
If either partner is uncomfortable with the other's flirtatious behaviour, it can drive up the insecurity felt within the relationship, leading to attachment anxiety. "Anxiety and insecurity increase the likelihood of reactivity towards each other, basically, because the bond [between you two] feels challenged."
In order to establish the boundaries of your own relationship, communication is key. If your feelings are hurt by your partner's flirtatious actions, it's important to express your feelings in a blame-free environment then be prepared to listen openly in return. "When you're fully heard, it'll be your turn to hear why the other one was flirting. Dig deep, focus on understanding them – they're not a 'bad person'.
"Ultimately, I recommend that you address it without making anybody feel wrong for their feelings or actions, and focus on understanding each other fully. Then look to establish clarity between the two of you, for what works for the both of you."
Flirting together
If you feel like getting your flirt on, Mukti recommends flirting with your partner instead. "It becomes just part of the 24/7 foreplay between the two of you," she says. "It feeds the visceral sense of connection and attraction between you. Flirting with your person supports the sexual tension between the two of you, which then can translate into your sexual activities together."
Overall Mukti does conclude that it's not healthy to flirt with others if you, or the other party, is in a relationship. "If you disagree with that, then I invite you to have a look inwards," she says. "What are you trying to get from flirting?" She suggests discussing those desires and needs with your partner instead.
Mukti also notes that flirting might not necessarily be an active attempt at sparking sexual tension, but could instead be a way of seeking validation as desirable, attractive and sexy, without wanting things to go any further. As with many behaviours in romantic relationships, it's important to work out the 'why' behind our actions.
According to Mukti, it all turns on respect. "Suggesting or expressing a level of available sexual or emotional intimacy toward someone who isn't our person, in a way that isn't respecting the primary relationships, is cheating in anyone's book."

Q: Calculating an integral without using the Cauchy Integral Formula I'm trying to solve an exercise in Stein complex analysis book, and totally stuck up right now.
I can't find a pdf of this book..so I take the photo.
The problem requires me to show the equality 'without' using the Cauchy Integral Formula. I at first thought it would be an easy task...but the calculation seems to be quite nontrivial. Some complicated exponential terms come out on the denominator.....
Could anyone help me how to solve this problem?

A: Split apart the integrand by partial fractions, and parameterize $\gamma$ as $re^{it}$ with
$0<t<2\pi$.

Q: How to monitor the number of rows inserted per second and per minute into MySQL db I have a running script which is inserting data into a MySQL database.
I want to know how many rows are getting inserted per second and per minute. If the count of rows inserted per second or per minute goes beyond a certain count, I need to stop executing the script.
How can I monitor this?

A: You should be able to derive that information from the output of
mysqladmin extended-status

Or
show status like 'Innodb_rows_inserted';

in MySQL, run every minute.
Or for individual databases or tables, you could use information from information_schema.TABLES:
select TABLE_NAME, TABLE_ROWS from information_schema.TABLES
    where TABLE_SCHEMA = 'my-database';

A: There are ways to do this via some count() on the db, but i think this will always be kind of ugly and just slow the execution of your script down. So the best way to do it is inside the script itself.
For example after every 1000 inserts you check the time since the last 1000 and then decide what to do.
