HYDERABAD: Six years post the global recession, Hyderabad's realty story continues to be bleak. In fact, in recent times, shutters have come down on over a dozen residential projects in the city, leaving customers in a soup even as roughly 6,000 units are crying for buyers.
While builders put the blame squarely on "unfavourable circumstances" -- first the meltdown and then the bifurcation keen observers of the sector tell a different story. According to them, the financial crisis that developers claim to be in, is in many cases highly exaggerated. "If it was true, how are they able to invest in projects outside Hyderabad?" asked a prominent realtor from the city, pointing out how many realty firms, including Janapriya Engineers Syndicate, Keerthi Estates Pvt Ltd, SMR Holdings and Aditya Infra among others, have entered the Bangalore, Chennai and Pune markets over the past one year.
This, despite some of them holding a vast number of unsold properties in Hyderabad. "The reality is that developers cannot sell these units because there is genuinely no demand. And that is not as much to do with pricing as it is to do with their inability to complete any venture over the last three-four years," sources said. The dwindling reputation has kept buyers at bay, with even modestly-priced homes (anywhere between Rs 2,800 and Rs 3,500 per sft) waiting for takers.
Incidentally, most of the dying projects are those that jumped on to the private equity bandwagon (partnering with private investors) that chugged into the city between 2006 and 2008. The concept, then new to Hyderabad, was lapped by primarily because it did not require the developer to bear the initial capital alone. Over time, however, the economic turmoil coupled with an almost 50% depreciation in land value spelt doom for these partnerships.
"It is very important that people understand the nitty-gritty of a private equity project before entering one. Also, because exiting such a project is very difficult, especially in the prevalent market condition," said Sandip Patnaik, managing director, JLL (Hyderabad). According to him, most developers are now staying put in these ventures (despite they not selling) as they would have to suffer a 50% 'haircut' (loss) in case they decide to walk out.
"It is true that some developers stretched themselves too much as they did not foresee such a long dry spell. But despite the odds, they cannot slash prices now to clear their stocks as the selling price is already at rock-bottom. In fact, if you factor in the escalating cost of construction over the years, some are even selling at a loss," argued P Dasharath Reddy, president of Telangana Real Estate Developers' Association. He insisted that the number of developers facing a fund crunch comprise only "a minuscule percentage of the total 3,500 builders operating in Hyderabad".
While that claim may be debatable, builders unanimously agree that property rates in the city will continue to remain stagnant for at least another four quarters. "There is no scope for any increase in property rates any time soon," said Ashwin Rao of Manbhum Constructions, reiterating how it's the "ambitious projects that are in limbo" at present while the "smaller ventures are doing considerable well".

Legal analysis aims to clear the air on third-party solar in Wisconsin, Minnesota
Posted by Laura Arnold / November 01, 2015 / Posted in solar, Uncategorized / No Comments
WRITTEN BY Kari Lydersen 10/28/2015
Wisconsin has become known nationally as a state hostile to distributed solar energy, with a Public Service Commission that has supported utility policies making rooftop solar installations difficult to finance and develop.
Minnesota, meanwhile, is generally known as a state where policies and officials are friendly to solar energy.
But in both states, a lack of clarity around the legality of third-party ownership, an important solar financing arrangement, has jeopardized or slowed the prospects for solar development, industry backers say.
Third-party ownership is a way that schools, government agencies and other non-profit organizations can finance solar installations and ensure that they can take advantage of tax credits.
In response to the situation, the Environmental Law & Policy Center has recently released legal memos making the case that in both states, statutes and case law clearly indicate such arrangements are fully legal (the ELPC is a member of RE-AMP, which publishes Midwest Energy News).
The Wisconsin memo, released in mid-October, is meant to help change the prospects for distributed solar in the state and jump-start a local solar industry that has been on hold because of what backers call hostile decisions and actions from utilities and regulators. In Minnesota, the memo released today is meant to bolster and protect a generally vibrant distributed solar outlook.
Wisconsin situation
The Wisconsin Public Service Commission's rulings in three major rate cases last year put a serious chill on distributed solar installations by, among other things, increasing fixed charges on utility bills and adding new fees for solar installations.
The commission did not adopt one of the most extreme utility proposals – We Energies' bid to essentially outlaw third-party ownership of solar installations.
However, that proposal continues to stall solar development in the state, since the commission did not clearly reject the concept and commission members have released informal letters indicating opposition to third-party ownership.
With the possibility seemingly looming that third-party ownership in Wisconsin could be prohibited in the future, solar developers have been largely unwilling to embark on projects in the state, industry leaders say.
Matt Neumann, president of Sunvest Solar in suburban Milwaukee, says his company does not do third-party ownership deals in its home state because of the uncertainty.
'It's a gray area, and when it's a gray area you don't get companies testing the waters.'
Amy Heart is senior manager of public policy for the national solar company Sunrun.
"It's a gray area, and when it's a gray area you don't get companies testing the waters, you don't get investment from companies when that's one of their business models, you get people doing business in other states instead," she said.
"We hear from companies that, 'We're not considering going to Wisconsin' because of that uncertainty. And companies like Sunvest that are headquartered in Wisconsin are doing the majority of their business in surrounding states."
A public utility?
Third-party ownership is essentially when one company owns and operates solar panels located on the roof or property of another entity, including a private individual, business, government agency or non-profit organization. The owner or tenant of the property often buys power from the company owning and operating the solar panels, through a PPA, or power purchase agreement.
Similar arrangements can also be made for small wind power projects or biogas installations, like those on many farms. In another form of third-party ownership, the property owner or tenant can lease the solar installation or other distributed generation from the entity that owns it, in which case there is no sale of power.
Third-party ownership arrangements often makes solar installations much more affordable, since the property owner or resident does not have to put all the capital up front. These arrangements are especially attractive for non-profit institutions like government agencies, schools and many hospitals, since they are tax-exempt and cannot on their own take advantage of tax breaks that are meant to make solar more affordable.
The main argument against third-party ownership with a power purchase agreement is that the company owning the solar panels is acting like a utility by generating and selling electricity, and that it should be regulated as a utility and only allowed to exist if it meets the requirements put on utilities. That argument was used unsuccessfully by Madison-based Alliant Energy in a recent Supreme Court case in Iowa.
In Wisconsin, state law prohibits public utilities from providing service to customers already receiving service from a utility. That means designating third-party installations as public utilities would essentially outlaw the arrangements, if the customer was also connected to the grid as most people with solar panels are.
"That confusion and uncertainty has really been hindering the development of the [solar] market in Wisconsin," said ELPC attorney Brad Klein, co-author of the memos. "Customers and municipalities and others that might be interested in investing in solar have not been willing and able to go forward with this type of financing model because they don't know if the commission is going to uphold it."
The ELPC memos cite precedent and make legal arguments to assert that third-party ownership does not make the owner of solar panels a utility.
The main reasons are clear and simple, the ELPC memos say: third-party installations are not monopolies, they do not devote property to public use, they do not use public infrastructure or investments, they operate in a competitive environment and do not exert political influence on decision-makers.
Utility regulation as we know it was developed specifically to protect ratepayers from unfair treatment by privately-run utilities that are essentially granted monopoly power by the government. In other words, in situations where customers have little choice over what utility provides their services, and when utilities are in part supported by taxpayer funds.
By contrast, companies that offer third-party solar or other installations operate in a highly competitive environment. There is no pressure on consumers to enter into these agreements at all, and if they do, they have choices of which companies to partner with.
Ironically, if utilities are able to convince utility commissions in Wisconsin or elsewhere to effectively prohibit third-party ownership, these virtual monopolies will have succeeded in doing what regulation was meant to curb: taking away choices from consumers.
Encouraging precedent
The ELPC Minnesota memo notes that the state's Supreme Court has in the past decided whether something is a utility on a case-by-case basis depending on what it "actually does."
For example, it ruled that a closed-circuit educational television network at the University of Minnesota did not pose the "usual monopolistic evils" that true telecommunications utilities could. It decided the closed circuit TV network did not qualify as a utility subject to regulation.
The ELPC Wisconsin memo cites various state Supreme Court decisions that would also seem to clearly affirm that third-party solar installations are not utilities – for instance, cases where a property owner built a steam plant to serve tenants in several buildings, where neighbors built their own small electric line and where a Ford plant built a hydroelectric dam to power its operations.
The memo cites a Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling in saying that: "Solar developers are much more like vendors of 'merchandise . . . like soap, candles or hats' than railroad barons or gas company monopolists."
Third-party solar installations, the memos stress, are "behind-the-meter" arrangements resulting in on-site electricity generation, with the "sale" of the electricity being only incidental.
Possibilities for relief
The memos, which the ELPC produced as part of its participation in the U.S. Department of Energy's SunShot Initiative promoting solar energy, have not been filed with any specific agencies or in any formal capacity.
But Klein said he hopes they will influence state lawmakers and judges, public service commissioners and utility officials in their future proposals and decisions. Klein noted that public service commissions could make proactive declaratory rulings that would affirm the legality of third-party ownership.
State legislatures could also pass legislation affirming the legality of third-party ownership. Neumann would like to see this happen.
"I do believe that third-party ownership is legal in Wisconsin, both leases and PPA's which are the most common structures," he said. "I would like to have the legislature pass legislation to make it clear, rather than having the utilities challenge the issue in front of the public service commission.
"Clean solar energy is supported by over 85 percent of Americans, our laws should support the desires of the constituents. A legislative bill for solar free-market financing would be the best way to do this."
Lawsuits possible
If a third-party project is ever torpedoed by a utility or commission in the future and a lawsuit is filed challenging that move, the legal arguments laid out in the memos could inform attorneys' arguments or judges' decisions.
'A key question when determining whether a public utility exists is whether there are any sales to the public.'
In Iowa, third-party ownership was essentially declared legal and valid thanks to a case that went to the state Supreme Court, wherein a utility had tried to prevent Eagle Point Solar from owning an installation on a municipal building. The state Supreme Court ruled in favor of allowing the installation, in a move seen as an important victory for solar installations.
Klein helped defend Eagle Point's interest in the Iowa case, and said that Wisconsin case law is even more clear than Iowa law in affirming the legality of third-party ownership. That's because previous court decisions in Wisconsin have, he said, been very clear in establishing that private contracts are not sales to the "public."
"A key question when determining whether a public utility exists is whether there are any sales to the public," Klein said. "The Wisconsin [court decisions in past] cases are very clear that sales to a very limited or restricted class of people like we have here is not a sale to the public. That's a private contract involving a sale to that particular person – it's not available to the public at large."

Is the Personal Consumption Expenditure Index ("PCE") a better measure of inflation?
How can a business respond to inflationary fears?
It is difficult to ignore the mounting fears of inflationary impacts on consumers and businesses. The alphabet soup of indicators includes at least the CPI, PPI, and PCE.
The Federal Reserve ("Fed") announced at its January 2012 Federal Open Market Committee meeting that the PCE would be the primary measure of inflation the Fed will use to assess the level of inflation in the economy. While the CPI is regularly quoted, the PCE does not achieve the same level of notoriety.
The CPI represents a basket of goods and services that urban consumers would buy without making substitutions when prices change. The PCE includes a broader range of goods and services than the CPI, and the PCE uses a broader range of buyers. The PCE attempts to track what is actually purchased and incorporates buying pattern changes when prices change.
The Fed believes using the PCE leads to a smoother and typically lower level of reported inflation.
The PCE is published monthly in the Personal Income and Outlays report. The graph below shows the value of a basket of goods from 1960 to July of 2021. The July 2021 PCE (compared to prices one year ago) was reported at 4.2%, compared to 3.6% in April and 4.0% in May and June.
What are the differences?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics ("BLS") releases the CPI and the Bureau of Economic Analysis ("BEA") publishes the PCE.
The CPI uses data from household surveys while the PCE uses data from the gross domestic product report and the suppliers. The CPI only considers urban households, while the PCE measure goods and services purchased by all US households and nonprofits.
The CPI only considers out of pocket expenditures on goods and services purchased while the PCE includes expenditures such as medical care paid by employer provided insurance, Medicare or Medicaid that are not paid directly by the consumer.
Inflation Indicators
Both the PCE and the CPI are showing inflationary trends. The Fed chairman announced on August 27, 2021 that that recent inflation readings are "a cause for concern", but he sees this as a temporary trend and believes that tightening monetary policy could be a "particularly harmful" mistake.
It is difficult to ignore the possibility of inflation. And, it is difficult to ignore the commodity price changes being experienced. How a business responds to the level of uncertainty and how the business plans for price changes is key to successful operations.
Here are several steps to take:
Review and summarize all contracts with customers.
Maturity dates.
Automatic renewals.
Price escalation terminology.
Review and summarize all contracts with suppliers.
Review bid processes.
Are key inputs repriced in the bidding software being used?
What is the contractual price lock period during the bid process?
What is the escalation terminology in the bid and contracts?

The wool is hand spun and the pile, after weaving is also hand finished (clipped) thereby giving a unique look and feel to this type of rug. When combined with the natural dyes used to obtain the colours the overall appearance is of a rug that has some age in it. Colours are broken rather than solid and the pile of the rug is soft with an almost slightly worn appearance.
This rug measures 10 feet long by 8 feet 1 inch wide. ( 3.02 x 2.45 metres ).

Dennis Rodman's Net Worth: Find Out How Much the Former NBA Star Earned Throughout the Years
By Jeremy Caroll On Aug 22, 2022
Brittney Griner, a famous player for the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), was found guilty of drug trafficking in Russia and sentenced to nine years in jail. On Saturday, Dennis Rodman made the announcement that he intends to travel to Russia in order to petition for Griner's release.
Rodman has stated that he has received the required permission to go and assist the player, and he is preparing to depart this week in order to do so. Fans have been eager to learn more about the ex-NBA player ever since he made the news, and one of their primary questions is the amount of money he is currently worth. Continue reading to find out the answer.
Netflix Glass Onion Release Date Confirmed| Is This Sequel of Knives Out?
The wealth amassed by Dennis Rodman
Rodman has enjoyed success in both the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the world of professional wrestling. When people considered his career, they anticipated that he would possess a fortune of several million dollars or more. Nevertheless, that is not the situation! According to the website Celebrity Net Worth, Dennis Rodman has a wealth of $500,000 at the present time.
Rodman was a member of the Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, and Dallas Mavericks over the course of his 14-year career in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The player, who is now 61 years old, raked in approximately $27 million in salary from the game, which, when adjusted for the effects of inflation, is equivalent to $43 million today.
The former player reached his financial pinnacle in 1996-1997, when he made $9 million from the game, which is equivalent to $15 million now. This was the player's highest earning year. Dennis has won the NBA championship a whopping five times. It was with the Pistons that he won the title twice, and it was with Michael Jordan and the Bulls that he won it three times.
Who is Dennis Rodman, and Why Does He Intend to Travel to Russia in Order to Petition for Brittney Griner's Release?
Since they were young, the player had to deal with difficult financial circumstances
Because his father deserted the family when Dennis was still a little child, his childhood was fraught with hardship. The wrestler who has previously competed in the sport disclosed that he is the eldest of a total of 47 children that were born to his parents. As a means of providing for his family after the death of his father, Dennis took on a variety of odd jobs, often working as many as four jobs at once.
After that, he took a job at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport as a janitor who worked nighttime shifts. After growing to a height of 6 feet 7 inches, he made the decision to give the sport of basketball a shot. He was given the opportunity to play at the university level at Southeastern Oklahoma State and did well, which led to the Detroit Pistons selecting him in the second round of the NBA Draft in the year 1986. After that, there was no turning back at that point.
Dennis made his debut in the World Championship Wrestling in the year 1997, beginning his career as a professional wrestler. In the same year, he achieved victory in the WCW World Heavyweight Championship match alongside his good friend Hulk Hogan. In the year 2000, Dennis announced his retirement from wrestling.
Dennis Lost Money in Divorce
Even though the former player made millions during his careers in basketball and wrestling, and even though he also had additional income from endorsements, book sales, and feess for making appearances, he still managed to lose a significant amount of money because of his divorce as well as the fines and suspensions he received from the NBA.
In 2012, Dennis was accused of having a child support obligation to his ex-wife in the amount of $800,000. He was required to show up in court in Detroit, where his attorneys argued that the athlete was bankrupt and unable to pay anything because he had no money. After kicking a referee in the crotch in 1997, Dennis was given a fine of $200,000 as a result of the incident. Because of the event, he was also suspended for 11 games, which was a total financial loss of $1 million for him.

Home Science Geology
First ever evidence of a comet striking Earth – a piece of it lies in Tutankhamon's brooch
in Geology, Space
For the first time, researchers have found evidence of a comet entering Earth's atmosphere and exploding, obliterating everything in its path before ultimately crashing down into the Sahara.
Comets and asteroids
Artist's rendition of the comet striking the Sahara desert.
Many people will probably be asking themselves "Didn't we find comet evidence on Earth before?". No, not really – if you did wondeer that, then you're probably mistaking comets for asteroids. We did find lots of (usually small) asteroid impact sites, but no comet ones.
A comet is an icy small Solar System body spinning around the Sun; as it gets closer to our star, it heats up and begins to outgas, sometimes displaying a visible atmosphere or even a tail. Asteroids are minor planets, but the difference between comets and asteroids is that comets feature an extended, gravitationally unbound atmosphere surrounding their central nucleus.
A comet impact
Researchers have found glass out in the Sahara that's basically from melted sand, which came from an impact which took place some 28 million years ago.
"Comets always visit our skies – they're these dirty snowballs of ice mixed with dust – but never before in history has material from a comet ever been found on Earth," says Professor David Block of Wits University.
As the comet entered our atmosphere somewhere above today's Egypt, it heated up the sand beneath it to a temperature of about 2 000 degrees Celsius, creating a huge amount of yellow silica glass which lies scattered over a 6 000 square kilometer area in the Sahara. Interestingly enough, a piece of that very same comet can be found in Tutankhamun's brooch (the yellow scarab).
At the center of this scattered yellow glass, geologists found mysterious black pebble; after conducting chemical analysis on the rock and eliminating all other possibilities, geologists came to the conclusion that it could only be a comet.
"It's a typical scientific euphoria when you eliminate all other options and come to the realisation of what it must be," said Jan Kramers of the University of Johannesburg, who worked alongside Dr Marco Andreoli of the South African Nuclear Energy Corporation, and Chris Harris of the University of Cape Town. .
The impact also produced microscopic diamonds.
"Diamonds are produced from carbon bearing material. Normally they form deep in the earth, where the pressure is high, but you can also generate very high pressure with shock. Part of the comet impacted and the shock of the impact produced the diamonds," says Kramers.
Comet material is very elusive – it has only been found so far as microscopic sized dust particles in the upper atmosphere and some carbon-rich dust in the Antarctic ice. Space agencies (NASA included) have spent astronomic sums to find pristine samples of comet material – because it contains inside it valuable clues about our solar system's birth.
"Comets contain the very secrets to unlocking the formation of our solar system and this discovery gives us an unprecedented opportunity to study comet material first hand," says Block.

Q: Input re-rendering and losing focus every time I type when using Formik When using FieldArray in Formik my inputs are always rerendered and thus they lose focus when a user types.
   <FieldArray
      name="wallets"
      className="space-y-4"
      component={(arrayHelpers) => (
        <>
          {
            formik.values.wallets.map((wallet, i) => (
              <div
                key={i}
   {...}

Following the docs, Formik uses an index as the child key, which is not a good practice, but I don't have any other immutable value in the wallet to use (all of them might be changed within form). I believe the re-render is not a matter of using the index as a key but simply Formik re-rendering the whole mapped values each time a value changes.
Is there any way to prevent this to happen without being a huge hack?

A: You just have to put a key that  should be permanent for the same component when props change
like this
   <FieldArray
      name="wallets"
      className="space-y-4"
      component={(arrayHelpers) => (
        <>
          {
            formik.values.wallets.map((wallet, index) => (
              <div
                key={`wallets.${index}`}
   {...}

Solution :
remove
key={i}

and do this
key={`wallets.${index}`}

CDMO Trends Leading to Industry Growth
The Role of CDMOs in the...
Dynamic Commercial Aspects of Life...
CDMOs to Drive Innovation in the Pharmaceutical Industry
With changing customer demand, CDMOs are adjusting their business model and setting a clear course toward technology leadership, which will become an important factor in the coming years.
FREMONT, CA:As flexible third-party service providers, CDMOs support pharmaceutical companies at every stage of the process of making medicines, such as by providing services in the research and development stages, providing support in manufacturing, and offering to formulate and finish processes. CDMOs have been rising in an increasingly dynamic mergers and acquisitions (M&A) landscape driven by consolidation. New developments are likely to continually change the CDMOs' position.
Earlier CDMOs operated on a business model that predominantly focused on serving as external service providers for manufacturing advanced pharmaceuticals. This model included capacity addition through the acquisition of manufacturing facilities from pharmaceutical companies. However, CDMOs have increasingly become innovation leaders, covering more pharmaceutical business sectors and adding new revenue streams. Through acquisitions, CDMOs can rapidly expand their capabilities and thereby be able to deliver advanced services at scale.
This change of focus has been accompanied by a transformation in the M&A landscape in the market. In the last decade, for example, the rise of novel modalities such as cell, gene, or mRNA therapies and innovative vaccines necessitated a significant investment in new additive manufacturing capabilities for viral vectors, cell manipulation, nucleic acids, and lipid-based formulations.
Well-positioned CDMOs can flexibly alter their production lines to meet the increasing demand for smaller, more diverse projects. New partnerships have arisen, enabling CDMO players to fuel the rapid growth of capacities and capabilities, helping the industry succeed in ramping up in areas such as vaccine production.
CDMOS needs to be a trusted partner for mature pharmaceuticals and contribute technical knowledge to maintain a competitive edge in manufacturing innovative products. This is especially true in the case of novel modalities, which account for the vast majority of M&A transactions, such as cell and gene therapies and novel nucleic acid therapies.
The expansion of the capability of CDMOs is occurring along three main axes, including value chains within a modality, new modalities, and a focus on product offerings toward providing additional complementing service categories such as clinical trial services. In comparison to the CDMO M&A activities examined in previous years, investment firms appear to have developed a desire to become more active players in the field. This trend will continue to prevail in the future. CDMOs offer an option to enter the life sciences and pharmaceutical markets by investing in continuous service revenues, while still benefiting from high growth rates in new therapy fields.
CDMOs are likely to foster their new role as technology innovators. Major businesses increasingly integrate smaller startups and technology leaders. Product-focused companies will continue to move toward the CDMO service market, while CDMOs will move toward an extended product offering. Additionally, the integration of clinical trial services could be a new trend for CDMOs to enter high-value, low-volume segments such as personalised medicine. However, a particular business model will differ from a traditional volume-first business model. CDMOs are likely to become strong contributors to innovation in the pharmaceutical industry. They will be key partners for pharmaceutical companies and will gain further relevance through their increasing technological expertise and know-how along the value chain.

Kent Island and Maryland's Turbulent Early History
October 6, 2021 by Patricia Samford
Travelers heading over the Chesapeake Bay from Maryland's western shore along Maryland Route 50 are often on their way to one of the sandy beaches along the Eastern Shore's Atlantic Coast. Sunlight sparkles off the bay on either side of the bridge, as large container ships, commercial fishing vessels, sail boats, and other pleasure craft ply its waters. Up ahead, the shores of Kent Island become visible, its forested shores and fields gleaming green in the distance.
Figure 1. The date 1593 and a medallion device bearing a two-headed bird decorate the German stoneware sherd discovered in 1988. From the 18QU300 Medallion Site. (Photo courtesy of Darrin Lowery.)
Today, Kent Island is home to the Terrapin Nature Park and miles of sandy beaches, as well as a number of marinas, yacht clubs, inns, restaurants, and hiking trails that help support a booming tourist industry. But long before it became a popular visitor destination, the island experienced a tumultuous early history, marked by pitched turf battles between the Maryland and Virginia colonies for ownership of this land.
The impressive fragment of German salt glazed stoneware jug or bottle shown here was present for those early, turbulent years. Discovered by archaeologist Darrin Lowery in 1988 while working on a clamming dredge off the southwestern side of the island (Roylance 1991), this sherd is the oldest ceramic bearing a date in the collection of the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Lab, the state's archaeological curation repository. The vessel of which it was a part is believed to have been used, broken, and discarded at Kent Island's earliest settlement.
Kent Island, settled in May of 1631 as a trading post and farming community by English settler William Claiborne, is the third oldest English settlement in North America, after Jamestown, Virginia and Plymouth, Massachusetts. Claiborne, appointed to be the Virginia Colony's Secretary of State, had arrived in Jamestown in 1622 at the age of 21 (Copeland 2003). After receiving permission to explore the Chesapeake Bay from Virginia's governor (or, as he put it, "to win the forests of Virginia"), Claiborne claimed Kent Island, near the head of the bay, for the Virginia Colony (Appleton 1888:620). By the end of the 1630s, over 120 people lived on the island (Isaac 1957), forming a community of planters, shipbuilders, coopers, millwrights, and sailors.
Figure 2. William Claiborne. Appletons' Cyclopedia of American Biography (1888), from which this illustration is taken, called Claiborne "the Evil Genius of Maryland."
Within several years of Claiborne's claim, the Virginia colony began a legal battle over ownership of the island—a conflict that would last over four decades. In 1634, King Charles I granted the Calvert family a charter to establish the Maryland colony north of Virginia, which included the upper half of the Chesapeake Bay, including Kent Island. Calvert was willing to allow Claiborne to keep his land if he pledged allegiance to the Calvert family. Claiborne, however, was unwilling to recognize Calvert's authority because Kent Island had already been developed under the name of the Virginia colony.
Maryland responded by confiscating one of Claiborne's boats, prompting Claiborne to reciprocate with armed skirmishes. Financial backers lost faith in Claiborne, replacing him as the island's leader in 1637. After Claiborne returned to England to plead for reinstatement, Calvert seized control of the island and the Lords Commissioners of Plantations ruled in favor of Lord Baltimore's legal right to the land.
Claiborne was not so easily thwarted. Seven years later, he and fellow Protestant Richard Ingles launched an attack on St. Mary's City, prompting Governor Calvert to flee south to Virginia. Claiborne thus regained control of Kent Island until 1646, when Calvert retook the Maryland colony, including the island. In another reversal, Claiborne and Virginia governor Richard Bennett overthrew the Maryland government and ruled from 1652 to 1655. By 1657, Maryland had been restored to the Calvert family and, despite one final attempt by Claiborne at regaining his land in 1677, his control of Kent Island remained elusive.
Over the centuries, the effects of erosion and sea level rise have caused Claiborne's original settlement to now be inundated by the waters of the Chesapeake Bay, off of the southwestern side of the island. In 1991, archaeologists examining the shallow waters 40 feet offshore discovered three old barrel wells believed to date to the seventeenth century (Roylance 1991). Fragments of wooden barrel, likely been part of another well, were also found in the soil containing the medallion sherd brought up by the clamming dredge in 1988. Because the earliest evidence of Claiborne's settlement now appears to be underwater, it is likely we will never know more about the actual appearance of this fort.
Figure 3. This fanciful 19th-century woodcut imagining of Claiborne's fortified settlement has little bearing in reality—the teepee dwelling and the shape and structure of the canoe are more appropriate to styles used in other geographic regions and time periods of the American past, for example.

(1958, Horror, b&w), with:
A Gumby Adventure: Robot Rumpus
(1956, Children, color)
The producers feel they must offer a free coffin if you die of fright while viewing the Screaming Skull!
Rating: **
Short: Gumby learns a valuable lesson after causing a lot of accidental property damage.
Film: A man uses a skull to drive his new wife to a nervous breakdown.
Short Summary:
In Robot Rumpus, Gumby (famed in song and story, as seen on TV) and his orange horse pal Pokey kick back in the kitchen, demanding milk. When Gumby's ridge-chested mother wants to know why they aren't out doing the yard work, he points out the window to a team of hard-working robots. Mother thinks the use of robot labor is a grand idea, and gives her son crackers to go with his milk.
But then something goes wrong. The garden robot starts hoeing down flowers. The garbage robot starts to disassemble the garage. The painting robot scrawls graffiti on the house. The lawnmowing robot pushes his mower through the front wall, across the house, and out the back wall. Mother glares disapprovingly at her son and calls her toupee-clad husband Gumbo for help.
By the time Gumbo's fire truck arrives, the robots have lifted the entire house from its foundations to rock it back and forth. Gumbo rushes from robot to robot, flipping the on/off switches on their backs. When he checks inside the house, he finds Gumby, Pokey, and Mother all rolled into a single clay ball in a corner of the kitchen. Gumbo is captured by another robot while they untangle themselves. It reactivates the other robots, forcing Gumbo and Gumby turn them all off again.
Finally, only the strongest, wiliest robot remains. Gumbo moves in for the kill, but it hurls a wrench through his soft body before throwing the hapless clay fireman onto the roof of a neighboring house. Gumby rescues his dad with a ladder truck, and then eviscerates the last robot with a commandeered steam shovel. Gumby is forced to repair all the robot damage by hand, while a robot's severed head is hung above the garage as a grim reminder of his failure.
Film Summary:
The Screaming Skull reaches its climax in shocking horror! Thrill as a manic-depressive bride hears screaming and sees skulls on the property of her creepy husband's deceased first wife—a woman who, naturally, died under suspicious circumstances. Gasp in no surprise whatsoever when we discover it is actually the sinister husband trying to drive his rich new wife to suicide, and not (as the filmmakers try quite unsuccessfully to convince us) the kind but simple gardener. Groan in boredom and irritation when it turns out the house is haunted by a possessed skull after all. Sigh in relief as the first wife's murderous head bone exacts deadly revenge on her killer, effectively ending the film.
I'd like to give you more details, but it turns out there aren't any.
Tom has become a beautiful butterfly, with gossamer wings, antennae, a party favor proboscis, and a delicate, slender body. He describes transformation in unnecessary detail, lingering uncomfortably over the "soft front parts of the pupae." Mike feeds him nectar.
Host Segment One:
Tom has lost his wings in an industrial accident, gained all his weight back from binging on junk food, and accidentally shrunk his antenna to the point of invisibility. At least he still has his party favor proboscis. Down in Castle Forrester, Pearl et alia have dressed in penguin costumes. They demand to know why Mike et alia have not done so as well. Mike and the 'Bots hurry into whatever costumes they can find, with Mike as a dog, Crow as a sheep, and Tom as a reindeer. Turns out it was all a hoax to make Mike and the 'Bots look ridiculous. Pearl and her cohorts celebrate the success of their prank—until Mike points out how much time and money it took them to pull off a practical joke that required the extended use of several stupid-looking penguin costumes.
Host Segment Two:
Tom and Crow have created a whimsical Claymation world, detailing the adventures of those lovable clay lumps, Bolis and Horseflop. They make Mike move the characters as these two carry on a "campaign of terror and savagery" against replicas of their own robot selves. When Mike puts a stop to it, Tom cries, "This is how it is in the real world… Horrid lumps of discharge destroy beautiful, innocent robots with impunity!" Mike calms them down with the promise of Dizzy Grizzlies.
Host Segment Three:
The producers of The Screaming Skull have promised a free coffin to anyone who dies of fright while watching their film, so Tom calls them up claiming to have a friend who has died during the viewing. He has second thoughts while the operator dutifully takes down his information, but doesn't admit it's all a scam until she has already sent the coffin. Quoth Mike, "You guys should try thinking of pranks that don't involve lying about the dead." "You think of one," Crow replies.
Host Segment Four:
Crow paints his head like a skull and mounts it to the desk, shrieking eerily when Mike comes in. Mike shrieks back while he batters Crow's head with a bag of chips, a baseball bat, and finally a bag of golf clubs. Screaming all the while, he tests a number of different clubs for heft and balance before settling on his favorite Big Bertha driver.
Host Segment Five:
Tom's coffin arrives; he has to admit that no one has actually died and send it back. He maxes out Mike's credit card to pay for shipping both ways. Down in Castle Forrester, Bobo has put on an ape suit and tries to pull the costume prank again. On Pearl's orders, Brain Guy shrinks him to size of a marmoset.
Stinger:
The creepy husband throws a stool at his dead first wife.
Okay, so Gumby is nude, lopsided, and hairless. Pokey is nude too, but has a mane. Gumbo is nude and presumably hairless, but covers his nakedness with either a toupee or a matador's cap. This leaves Mother as the only one with both hair and clothing. So what's the dress code here? The most obvious conclusion is that only women can wear clothes, but Gumbo's hairpiece/beret scuttles that theory. On further speculation, my guess is that Gumby-world clothing requires a license, like cars in the real world. Gumby will finally get to wear shorts when he's old enough to take the clothing test. Pokey can wear a mane under the terms of his learner's permit. Gumbo lost his license for full clothing when he got drunk one night and ran his brand new polo shirt into a tree. The weekend job at the fire department is only part of his community service—on weekdays he has to visit middle schools to warn students about the dangers of mixing of alcohol and clothing accessories. Remember kids, don't drink and dress!
Moving on to this episode in particular, what's the message supposed to be? I know it's just a cartoon, but think about it—these days, all shows for the younger age groups have some kind of moral, even if it's only something like "please share," or "be kind," or "niceness is nice." Is this episode trying to teach the young Billys and Bettys of the world that all underprivileged sources of manual labor will eventually turn on their employers? If the robots insurgency had led to a utopian socialist robot paradise, I would call it a Marxist allegory, but it didn't; Gumby et al. turn the revolutionaries into scrap. Okay then…it's trying to teach our little Juanitos and LaChondras that malcontents from the lower classes must be put down with extreme prejudice? Adorable Guillaume and precious Brunhilda need to know that we must not rely on lesser beings if we are to survive? It's a racist allegory, right? Am I reading too much into this?
And now, I will simulate the experience of watching The Screaming Skull. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Thank you, and good night!
Maybe it's just the blank daze induced by the utterly empty film, but the only host segments that do anything for me at all are the first costume sketch and the "Crow as skull" sketch, and even those were just vaguely amusing. No wait, I quite liked sketch about the Gumby short; hearing the 'Bots wax eloquent on any subject is always good for a laugh or two. On the other hand, Tom's butterfly transformation is just odd, and the coffin subplot wasn't that funny either. There isn't much to the shrinking scene at the end. It looks completely, totally, and unequivocally fake—so much so that at first I wasn't quite sure why Bobo had suddenly moved to the back of the room. Just because it's cheesy doesn't mean it has to be bad, though. It could have been the set up for something hilarious, but the segment just shrinks him and ends with no attempts at any further jokes. Maybe the empty haze of the film affected the folks at Best Brains as well.
The commentary to the Gumby short is hilarious. When the garbage robot starts to disassemble the garage, Crow says, "Habitat against humanity." When a robot projectile leaves a wrench-shaped hole in Gumbo, Mike puts words in Gumby's mouth, "You can throw things through Dad! I'm going to get an anvil!" When we see a robot's severed head above the garage, Tom makes retching noises and cries, "This is worse than Seven!" Unfortunately the short ends after only six minutes, and we start the long, eventless slog through the barren film. By necessity, ninety percent of the commentary during The Screaming Scull refers to the fact that nothing is happening, as in Tom's, "They have two servings of tension that they're trying to serve to seven people;" and Crow's, "Remember folks, if you die of boredom, you do not get a free coffin. Sorry;" and Mike's, "They made a tiny bit of movie and just put the rest in a box filled with foam peanuts." It's to their credit that most of these comments are funny, but you can only throw insults into the void for so long before you realize this whole system works better when there's actually something out there to insult. If the Gumby short was available separately (say, in a collection of shorts or something), this episode would get one of the rare Zero Stars ratings, but Robot Rumpus is six of the funniest minutes ever to appear on the show. It's worth repeated viewings, so long as you turn it off before The Screaming Skull can begin.

The university community observed the second annual Shared Governance Day on Tuesday at a joint meeting of the Faculty Senate and Professional Staff Senate, with invited speakers including SUNY Fredonia President Virginia Horvath and Charles F. Zukoski, UB provost and executive vice president for academic affairs.
The meeting, which was open to all members of the UB community, took place in the Center for Tomorrow on the North Campus.
Horvath, Fredonia's 13th president and recipient of the first SUNY Shared Governance Award, told the group that open communication and bringing all ideas to the table are keys to developing policies and agreements that work to achieve larger goals.
"Giving people the authority and responsibility of using their voice for the collective good — looking someone in the eye and respectfully disagreeing — is something I think we need more of," Horvath said.
In her remarks, Sharon Cramer, SUNY Faculty Senate parliamentarian, said patience among shared governance leaders is also a key to bringing successful results.
Connor Arquette, a second-year UB medical student and president of the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences Polity, also cited the importance of open lines of communication for the medical school student association.
UB Police Chief Gerald W. Schoenle Jr. said the principles of community policing are keys to shared governance for University Police.
"We have been building these tenets of community policing into our training for a number of years," Schoenle said.
"UB is very complex. In the course of an average day our officers can come into contact with members of the UB community from across the university," he said.
In his closing remarks, Zukoski told the group that for UB to respond to changing expectations and needs, the university's faculty, staff, administration and students must have mechanisms for acting, well-defined roles and responsibilities, and open lines of communication.
"In particular, there has to be trust that we share common goals and objectives," he said. "That we hear and take advice from each other, and that we are, in concert, dealing with issues in a timely and nimble manner.
"As a public university, we have a responsibility to meet the needs of our state, nation and students," he said.
Zukoski noted that with nationwide increases in student debt, decreases in funding for public education and shifts in students' interests and backgrounds, there is growing pressure on public research universities to change the way they operate.
"We increasingly are expected to deliver cutting-edge research that addresses society's problems," he said.
At UB, Zukoski said, "we have a robust governance system in place and we have already demonstrated that we can make large, significant changes when all of us work together.
Zukoski pointed to significant strides in enhancing faculty mentoring, citing the work done by the Faculty and Professional Staff senates, together with the vice provost for faculty affairs.
He also cited the role of shared governance in accomplishing changes in UB's culture around diversity, equity and inclusivity, making the university an exemplar in SUNY.
"Through the Commission on Academic Excellence and Equity, which the senate helped to create, and more recently through the Equity and Diversity Strategic Plan, which benefited from the faculty and professional staffs' input, UB has established a vision and strategic direction for diversity, equity and inclusion," he said.
Concluding his remarks, Zukoski told the group UB will continue to build its future by working together to chart directions and shape initiatives.
"We will accomplish this in areas such as enrollment growth plans and admissions policies, tuition rates and institutional aid policies, facilitating cross-disciplinary and multi-level educational program development, and enhancing the inclusion and engagement of international students.

Why We Can't Get Enough of 'Call of Duty'
by SOFREP Dec 31, 2021
Call of Duty®: Vanguard. From Call of Duty Website. ©Activision
If the record-breaking results and being dubbed as one of the highest-grossing games of all time are any proof, it's safe to say that Call of Duty captured the hearts of many online game lovers. But from all the other war games ever released, what sets Call of Duty or COD apart from the rest?
Staying ahead of the game
"Call of Duty allowed players to advance through World War II in a series of campaigns or to battle it out against human opponents in its multiplayer mode. The ability to pull up and aim firearms, to relive the last few seconds of a fallen comrade's life, and to realistically be stunned by nearby explosions were notable features that helped distance the game from its competitors," according to Britannica.
Great characters, great storyline

For those who are non-players or those who just started playing COD, some of the characters may get you hooked, adding to the rich storyline the game offers its players. Let's get to know some of the notable characters in Call of Duty.
First on the list is Vladimir Makarov.

"Arguably the most memorable villain in the Call of Duty franchise, Makarov manages to be universally despised by fans of the series, which was the main purpose of his role. Unlike some of the other villains in the franchise, Makarov truly has no redeeming qualities, being all about anarchy and causing as much chaos as possible without any remorse for his actions," writes Matthew Wilkinson of The Gamer.
Alex Mason comes second on our list. "Alex Mason is flawed by his inability to trust his own sense. This makes for a fascinatingly damaged character, who deeply changes over the two games, yet somehow manages to retain both his passion and impulsiveness, despite the chaos around him," says Evan Williams of the Early Game.

Are you now convinced why this game made so much impact? Could you recall a character in an online game as specific (not to mention dramatic) as Alex?
Captain John Price would also be a popular one. Never showing fear, Captain Price was a true leader amongst men and is probably the most iconic character in the Call of Duty series. He's harsh but honest and has an extensive range of quotes that most COD players can easily recall with ease.

His classic cigar and witty comments are just some of the reasons why people loved him so much. Price even became the poster boy for the franchise for a short while, mainly because most players associated anything Call of Duty with his memorable mustache-framed face, citing Williams' Early Game article.
Give it a go!
There are other characters in the game that made up a great storyline, and if I ever continue, you'll never hear the end of it. You might as well check COD's website to learn more about it.
Surely, the sophisticated game came to be from extensive research, consulting people in the military field, and countless hours of simulations.
We could all agree, it all paid off. Many spend their weekends and nights playing COD, which surely saved us from a lot of boredom. Who knows, it might've saved lives too? Think about when players stayed indoors rather than being out and running the risk of getting hit by a car or getting murdered? Just saying. Call of Duty has become a kind of cultural touchstone as well, the game is associated with memes and even invoked as a pejorative to ding those who think playing at war is anything like actually going to war. Never mind the irony in the fact that so many actual warfighters are big fans of the game themselves.

Pickett Explains Game-Winning Touchdown To Pickens
By Alex Kozora
Posted on December 25, 2022 at 12:25 am
Kenny Pickett to George Pickens. Touchdown. A combination you're going to hear a lot more of over the next several years. And one heard in the game's biggest play Saturday night, Pickett firing the game-winning 14-yard touchdown to Pickens with under a minute to go, completing the comeback against the Las Vegas Raiders, 13-10.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Pickett explained what he saw on the play.
"[Pickens] has a middle read route," Pickett said via the team's YouTube channel. "George did an incredible job of reading that. The backside safety was hanging over to Pat's side. I just wanted to hold him long enough with my eyes to make the throw to George down the seam. It worked out really well."
Here's a look at the play. The Steelers are 3×1 with Pat Freiermuth as the backside "nub." Worried about him after making plays in the second half, the Raiders shifted coverage his way, opening up Pickens on the trips side. Pickett fired a strike between two DBs for the score and the win.
UNREAL.

Offenses should practice how they play and Pickett says what the team did during the week translated to notch a win and keep Pittsburgh's season alive.
"Had that look in practice a few times. So it's great when you work on something, you work real hard at it and it shows up in the game in the biggest moments and you win a game like this."
Pickens turned in a solid game, finishing with five catches for 57 yards and that touchdown. As we've noted, his route tree has expanded since the bye week and Pittsburgh utilized him as more than a deep-ball receiver against the Raiders, though he had a patented 25-yard fade down left sideline. He aligned in the slot, catching a third down slant in the first half and the game-winning touchdown in the second.
The play put Pickett in rare territory, as tweeted by the NFL after the game.
Kenny Pickett's 14-yard TD pass to George Pickens marked only the 4th instance in the Super Bowl era of a rookie QB throwing a game-winning TD to a rookie receiver in the final 2 minutes of regulation.@steelers
— NFL Research (@NFLResearch) December 25, 2022
For Pickett, he sees growth.
"George is growing as a receiver every week and it's something that we talked about earlier in the season. Just how he wants to be able to do all these different things and he's gonna continue to work on his craft. We're gonna move him around and I'll find him with the football."
There's no question Pickett and the Steelers' offense was brutal for most of the game. There's no rewriting history there. Had it not been for an incredible defensive showing against a potent, top-ten Raiders' offense, Pickett, Pickens, and the rest don't have the opportunity for a game-winning drive. But as this team has done all year, and for years, honestly, they found a way to make plays when they had to have them. Backs against the wall, the Steelers shine and so their season plays on.

The PLM 241 B 1 was a high-pressure steam locomotive built in 1929 for the PLM (Chemins de fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée) using the Schmidt high-pressure system. It was a 4-cylinder compound design.

The manufacturer was Henschel & Sohn of Germany; it was considered unusual for a French railway to buy German technology due to the deteriorating relations between the two at the time. Schmidt and Henschel seem to have been the only sources of suitable technology.

Only one was built. The locomotive was scrapped in 1936.

After levels of speculation the music world rarely sees, Taylor Swift has confirmed new music is coming.
The global megastar took to social media on Wednesday (8/23) to announce Reputation, her first new album in three years, will drop November 10.
The news follows last week's digital darkness, during which Taylor went black on her official website and removed all traces of herself on social media.
Subsequently, she posted three separate clips of what fans now know to be a snake, igniting a flood of rumors, fan theories and conflicting stories on the web.
Despite the confirmation of a new album and single, questions still remain. How does the snake fit into Taylor's new music? Will the one-time country phenomenon kick off her new era with a performance—potentially with longtime nemesis Katy Perry?—this Sunday on the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards?
The first single from Reputation is set for release tomorrow night (8/24).

Il Benelli T50 è un ciclomotore prodotto dalla casa motociclistica italiana Benelli dal 1973.

Il contesto
Presentato in un periodo di particolare espansione del settore dei ciclomotori e in contemporanea ad una versione da motocross con cui condivideva buona parte della meccanica, montava un motore monocilindrico a due tempi da 49 cm³ di produzione interna della casa. Le prestazioni erano quelle previste dal codice della strada del periodo.

Si confrontava, sul mercato delle moto da turismo stradale (da cui la lettera "T" nella sigla) utilizzabili anche in assenza di patente, con analoghi ciclomotori prodotti da Gilera e Fantic Motor.

Dotato di un cambio a 5 rapporti, tra le sue particolarità c'è la presenza del comando dello stesso montato sulla destra del veicolo e con l'inserimento della prima marcia in alto. L'impianto frenante ero composto da due freni a tamburo, sia all'anteriore che al posteriore.

On Monday (Sep. 3), a fourth victim told police they were grazed by a bullet in the shooting and had non-life threatening injuries.
At this time, police are trying to figure out if the shooting was random.

The primary purpose of vitamin K is to prevent excessive bleeding by helping your blood to clot properly. When referring to vitamin K, we are actually talking about a group of compounds, where vitamins K1 and K2 are the most important. The former is derived from plant-based foods and the latter from animal-based foods. In recent years, however,it has been thought that vitamin K2 can help to treat osteoporosis, but the evidence to support this idea is not very strong at present.
This smoothie will ensure that your body gets an important vitamin K boost, which is especially helpful after major surgery or childbirth when there is a greater risk of blood loss. To make it, add all the ingredients to a blender and process until smooth.
The Swiss chard in this smoothie enables you to benefit from perks such as lower blood pressure, preventing the risk of developing osteoporosis, improved endurance and fighting against cancer. Just like its wild cousin, kale, Swiss chard contains very high amounts of vitamin K, with one cup containing around 370% of the recommended daily allowance.
This nutrient dense vegetable contains impressive amounts of nearly every important vitamin and mineral our bodies need; a one cup serving has nearly seven times the recommended daily allowance of vitamin K! One of the biggest benefits of eating kale comes from the antioxidants it contains that fight against cancer and free radicals. Other benefits include lowering cholesterol and protecting your eyesight.
Spinach is yet another humble looking vegetable in this smoothie that packs a surprisingly powerful punch in the nutrition department, containing good amounts of nearly every vitamin and mineral our bodies need, including around 180% of our daily requirement of vitamin K per cup. Spinach also has anti-inflammatory properties and helps to fight against cancer thanks to the phytochemicals it contains that give it its dark green colour.
Adding collard greens to this smoothie will provide you with more than twice the daily requirement of vitamin K per cup. What's more, you'll benefit from stronger bones, a reduced risk of developing cancer and a healthier digestive tract.
Parsley contains a surprising amount of vitamins and minerals, including nearly six times the daily requirement of vitamin K in a 28g serving. By adding parsley will experience protection of cells from oxidative damage, reduction of inflammation in conditions like arthritis and a healthier cardiovascular system.
Kiwifruit is thought to be able to improve the overall look of skin, maintain a healthy heart, improve quality of sleep and prevent constipation and by adding it to this smoothie you can hope to experience these benefits too. Kiwi fruit is also a good source of vitamin K with a one cup serving containing around 90% of your daily allowance.
A one cup serving of blackberries provides around 36% of the daily allowance of vitamin K and the health benefits of consuming them include maintaining healthy blood sugar levels, reducing inflammation and helping protect against neurological diseases.
Like with most berries, blueberries are packed full of antioxidants that help to fight against heart disease, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's disease. They are also known to help assist in weight loss and prevent constipation thanks to their high fibre content.
Pomegranate juice has antioxidants that are incredibly powerful and are thought to be the cause of health benefits such as reduced inflammation, protection against cancer, relieving symptoms of arthritis and even improving erectile dysfunction.
