althought the t10 cost much more it would be a better buy in my opinion, one wont change your tablet that often and its a good idea to spend that extra money in the first place.
if there is a return process you should activate it first, if not i doubt the seller will entertain any of your questions.
in the case where you cant reach a settlement with the seller you can just send it back, provided that you dont have to pay return shipping of course.
the specification of the dc jack is 3.5mm*1.35mm, search 3.5mm 12v and you should get the compatible models.
just note, do buy something rated 3a and above, the chinese interpretation of 12v 2a means it will stop working once it reaches the rating.
my stock charger finally failed and i went out to buy a PD charger since i know that is is supported by the surbook.
however, upon some preliminary testing i discovered that the charger is actually outputting 15v rather than 12v.
left it to charge for half an hour and it appears to work fine but i am still worried.
agree with the xiaomi recommendation but i would go with the pro version instead, subscribe to the newsletter from gearbest and it will regularly go for under 800USD.
If you really cannot live with the TN screen the best option is to sell it and get another with a ips panel.
You can first try one of those linux tutorial to determine if you can get any of it to work, best case scenario only the emmc is knackered. If you can get linux to work off a usb then try installing windows to a m.2 ssd and see if it will boot.
If it just stopped working suddenly then it will most probably be a hardware issue and not fixable, your only option is to use the m.2 slot for a wifi card.
Its definitely possible and i've done this to my iphone as well.
The problem is finding compatible chips which is near impossible even if you have the part number, even if you did find one the cost of it with workmanship included will probably cost more than what you paid for the tablet in the first place.
For anyone who needs to replace their batteries can consider ripping a xiaomi 10000mah power bank 2 instead, i've done this a couple of time for diy projects and its good to know that you are getting quality batteries. From memory i believe the battery dimensions are 110mm * 60mm * 11mm(stack of 2 battery) and they are rated at 3.85v as well.
download hwinfo and monitor the battery voltage, note the voltage when fully charged, take the charger out and monitor the voltage, a good battery should drop no more than 0.2v(lowest brightness cpu near idle), if it drops to lower than 7.6-7.8v immediately then you have a faulty battery which fortunately still can be replaced.
Damn that is a lot of thermal paste, good thing there doesnt seems to have enough pressure pushing down on it or it would have possibly covered half the motherboard.
Guess i will be getting the older knote after all, im only using it for very light task so the 2gb of extra ram and laminated screen would do me more good than a slight boost in performance.

Movie Review: Nowhere Boy
I had the opportunity to have a night out with the family and catch a showing of the new John Lennon biopic – "Nowhere Boy" at the Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville.
(A quick history of the Colonial Theatre – this theatre became famous in the 1958 cult classic "The Blob" when the patrons run screaming from the theatre after the blob takes over.)
I was really torn watching this movie. It a very well made film and the acting is quite good. It is a wonderful to relax to…if you're not a die-hard Beatles fan. I must have leaned over about five times and whispered in my husband's ear, "That's not how that happened." From John's blue eyes (his were brown) to Paul McCartney being shorter than him (he wasn't) to Uncle George dying in front of John (John was away when his uncle died), a hardcore Beatles fan will feel like there are nails scratching a blackboard while watching. But, for the average, everyday music fan that just wants a little background into Lennon's early years…yes, this film will please you. And though a lot of it is a bit out of chronological order, it gets its point across of the turmoil and heartbreak that Lennon must have felt in his youth and adolescence.
I'm not sure how to rate this film. I want to scream, "Did you think we wouldn't notice your blatant disregard of the facts?" and at the same time, I want to say, "Great film…very well made!" This is where I'm going to have to say to my readers, go see the film and try to separate yourself from the truth just enough to enjoy the film. There really isn't any one thing in this movie that changes the overall story of John Lennon's real story and that can't be attributed to 'artist license'. And for this reason…
I rate this film: 3 out of 4 Beetles
The movie will continue to be shown throughout this week (November 5-11, 2010) at the Colonial Theatre. For more information and showtimes, please go to: www.TheColonialTheatre.com.

My feelings on the film are similar to yours. (My review is here: http://exm.nr/bC6ihd) Overall, I just took it as just a story. I liked the Liverpool scenery the best. But it's just a story, like a soap opera. There are some elements that work, but the people have been bent and twisted to fit the director's view. Which is fine, as many films take dramatic liberties. But "Nowhere Boy" has been trying to pass itself off as the true story. It's not. The Lennon family says so and others, like you, say so. So enjoy it for what it is. But don't make it what it's not — the real thing.
beatlesfreak
Thanks for your feedback, Steve.
Did you find the scene with the girl in the park a little too graphic in relationship to the rest of the movie?
I didn't really pay much attention to that, to be honest. I mean after the sexy scenes in "Backbeat," it wasn't that much to be concerned about. But back to the topic, movies about the Beatles have been tough to do. I think my favorite still is "I Wanna Hold Your Hand." "Nowhere Boy" is fiction. That's what people should keep in mind.
Smile Away
I am as die hard as it comes regarding the Beatles. While watching this movie I had the feeling they could have replaced John Lennon with any character and it would have just been like any other dramatic film. The movie was not historically accurate and it had little to do with the Beatles and their relationship to music. It seemed like the movie was just about a troubled boy and his awkward relationship with his mother.
Also, they didn't pay any attention to Stuart Sutcliffe in this film. His death was, I think, almost as detrimental to John as his mothers. Lastly, I agree the scene in the park could have been less graphic.
Maclen
You can't be serious. Paul was shorter so the movie's inacurate? Actually Paul was 14 at the time and John was 16, so I imagine he WAS shorter. The eye color is off – so what, the kid who played John wasn't John – he was an actor, and had we measured him, he might have been – 5′ 10 and 1/2″ instead of 5′ 10″ and maybe he weighed 150 instead of 145 or something – does it really matter? I'm a huge fan like yourself but we have to accept that when a movie is made it has to be entertaining, so sometimes there are changes for dramatic effect. I really enjoyed the movie quite a bit and so did my wife. Lighten up, loosen your collar, enjoy life.
FFF2
Maclen,
Good for you that you could suspend your disbelief long enough to enjoy this dramatization. But I, like BF, could not.
If you're going to play fast and loose with the facts of a historical figure's life, just call it what it is: fiction.
And change the names while you're at it.
Pattie Noah
I enjoyed it for what it is – a film depiction of the teenage years of someone who as an adult became more than he or anyone could have ever imagined. Any book or movie of a person's life can never be totally accurate, whether it is claimed to be non-fiction or fiction. I took it as entertainment based on someone I love dearly, so I enjoyed it despite the inaccuracies. I had just returned from an absolutely fab visit to Liverpool – I saw Uncle George's real grave, Mendips, Julia's house – all the wonderful sites. The real sites were not in the film but I still was taken by the portrayal of John's early years. Our tour guide in Liverpool, who lives and breathes the Beatles, also was really torn. She recognized the many liberties taken – Julia's daughters were not told of her death for weeks afterward so would not have been at the house after the funeral – but still found the film compelling. It offers insight into the years the made him the man that he became.
I'm glad it's not just me! I didn't like the movie at all. Had a chance to get an early DVD of it about 6 months ago and came away from it feeling very sad. Yet again, another Lennon biopic that's so far off the mark. The inaccuracies are rampant. Unlike you, I didn't think the acting was that good. I thought the scouse was lousy. The biggest problem I had though was beyond the aesthetics (although the blue eyes bugged the crap outta me). The portrayal of Julia was such a caricature! Yes, Julia was very flirtatious and free-thinking…there's no denying that, but for god sake, they make her out to be a psychotic bound and determined to bed her own son. Just because John mentioned an incident in his audio diary (which is very true), they've taken that moment and made it the focus of their relationship. I think it's horrible. I also would hate to think of how the portrayal of Mimi would have been before the re-write. As it is, they have her as "Mimi the Hun". The woman DID have a heart and NEVER threw things at John's head. She would have died first. Regarding the sex scene with the girl, no, I didn't find that offensive. John was a very sexual guy from an early age, so I felt that was appropriate to portray. I just worry that the "average" Beatles/Lennon fan will come away from this movie with the wrong idea about Julia and Mimi, and that will, over time, colour his life, which is now becoming more mythology than fact. John said it himself…just gimme some truth!
Patti: I didn't hate it, but like I said above, it is what it is. I think it should be appreciated, but its importance not overblown. Some people are making it out to be the one true story, especially with Yoko's support of it. I don't take it totally seriously, as I don't take "Backbeat" or any other fictional film about them totally seriously.
Roger Stormo
Here's my review from back when it was being shown in Norway: http://wogew.blogspot.com/2010/01/nowhere-boy-movie.html
You should also see "Lennon Naked", which is a bit like a sequel, but with real Lennon and Beatles music: http://wogew.blogspot.com/2010/10/lennon-naked-review.html
Roger: I thought "Lennon Naked" was very one-dimensional and hardly a great dramatization of him. People who didn't like NB would definitely not like this. My review of LN is here: http://www.examiner.com/beatles-in-national/bbc-s-lennon-naked-tv-movie-barely-tells-the-former-beatle-s-full-story
Michael in Toronto
One criticism too many.
In the movie, Uncle George did not die in front of John.
In the movie, Mimi informed John with little emotion, which is what is described in biographies.
The most serious non-truth in this movie is that John never punched Paul in the mouth.
The best and most accurate truth projected in this movie (and missing from other stories) is that Paul was John's musical superior.
I'm reading all of the replys here and it never ceases to amaze me how otherwise normal people think they actually know a celebrity (This case John Lennon) based on what?, "A Hard Day's Night", "Help", some interviews and books that you've read? It's funny how people put complete faith in what's written in a book as absolute fact, like Hunter Davies "The Beatles" or "Shout" by Philip Norman but when a film doesn't portray it as the same, the film is completely wrong. I'm willing to bet the books aren't 100% accurate either. Now unless I miss my guess, none of you actually grew up with John much less slept at Aunt Mimi's house to witness first hand what went on. I choose to believe that books give a pretty good view of what went on, but I, by no means think that authors are completely accurate or even try to be, they are trying to sell a product, just like the movie business. Anyone here believe a word of what Albert Goldman has to say in "The Lives Of John Lennon"? Anyone see the Beatles Anthology? There's a very amusing part of the film where all of the participants (The Beatles) remember Shea Stadium DIFFERENTLY, and they were there !!! My point is, authors depend on information from people who were there and they depend on them to remember it accurately, which is not always easy. Just my 2 cents which is probably all it's worth.
Lenmac
Maclen, I agree 100%. I've been a Beatles fan for 45 years and there are times when I'm embarassed to associate with other 'fans'. With all of the whining done here with regards to the NB film, this is one of those times. Your post is a breath of fresh air. Sidenote; I have seen the movie Lennon Naked. I thought that it was very well done, too. I imagine the people that derided Nowhere Boy will hate this one as well.
I just received a review copy of Lennon Naked and will be watching in the next day or two. Keep an eye out for my review in the next several days….
Lenmac, thanks for the vote of confidence. I too have been a fan since Ed Sullivan and am looking forward to the "Lennon Naked" film. Nice to get some new stuff from John, thought the "Double Fantasy Stripped Down" a substantial improvement, a welcome addition.
Paul McCartney said clearly that it is wrong in the movie when John punches Paul. He said it never happened. This is not my opinion. This was reported on the beatlesnews.com website that lead to this website.
John Lennon played guitar with banjo chords until Paul taught him differently. This is not my opinion.
thebeatlesarethegreatestrockbandever!
Actually in the excellent thorough,John Lennon biography Lennon by award winning music journalist and former editor for 20 years of The Melody Maker Magazine, and close friend of John's from 1962-1980,he says Cynthia said that when John first told his aunt Mimi that Cynthia was pregnant, John told Cynthia that there had been the most tremendous scene,one of the worst things he'd ever have to go through and that Mimi through everything at him,Mimi yelled,"You stupid children,getting yourselves into this situation! You've got yourself into this mess,now get yourselves out of it!"
I forgot to mention the author of the great book,Lennon is Ray Coleman.
Maclen, I do think you make a good point about taking what's written in various Beatles books as gospel, but I do have to disagree with you a bit. Authors today (some not all of course) are spending a great deal of time and money to access the best possible resources to write the most accurate accounts of this group and its members. Yes, they still rely on the memories of people who did have first hand knowledge, but you can believe they're checking multiple times into that story before it hits the page so I wouldn't disregard the information we get from them so casually or think they're only trying to make a quick buck.
As for the film, I too was annoyed by some of the historical inaccuracies, but only some. Though John may not have hit Paul, it's not so unbelievable to think he would have knowing their relationship especially at that time. I wasn't sure what to make of Julia and since I don't know that much about her, it's these parts of the film that confuse me most. If other things had been more accurate, I could make sense of it, you know? But since I know making a film of someone's life as it happened (to the best of our knowledge) isn't good entertainment, I can only assume they either exaggerated her personality or portrayed her as she was. Deciding which I should believe is the hard part. It's the same with other parts of the film that are really unclear to us as fans – things that have been touched on but never delved into – since this could be new ground we're discovering or complete falsehoods.
Overall, though, I enjoyed the film. I think the film makers put a lot of effort into bringing us back to that period and exposing us to what John's life at that age could have been like and probably was. Some people thought they portrayed him too soft, some thought too hard, but I think they got just the right balance. I loved all the actors and the aesthetics didn't bother me at all; we're not going to find clones after all. Anyway, I love anything to do about Lennon and people so often focus in on his death. This film was a breath of fresh air and it'll be a nice little film to add to my collection.

Hi! I just watched "Nowhere Boy, and there are some things I need to know about your take. First, Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Aaron Tyler-Johnson are in real life only half an inch in height difference (5′ 101/2" vs 5′ 11"). Brodie-Sangster is the lowest, but such a minor difference would not have been noticeable for most people. Brodie-Sangster was 19 when he portrayed 15 year old Paul, so he was probably fully grown – in fact he is a month older than Tyler-Johnson. If you look again at the film (worth a repeat), you can see that they are the same height. I will add that the film has a number of screenings where it looks as if John is taller than Paul, but the actors are not, so it is probably a trick of the mind.
Also, while I agree that the relationship with the mother is exaggerated for dramatic effect, the eye colour is off and George Smith did not die while John was present, the point of the film should rather be to get the feel of the film rather than total accuracy, don't you think? Was the character true to John? Was Paul well-represented?
You see, if you are to pick apart inaccuracies, which I as a Beatle fan for 30 years and a major in history applaud, you must take them all. The beer glass, the radio sketches and the cigarettes are equally incorrect, but probably not as much in the way of the story for most.
Personally I think it is a good step up from Backbeat. Too one-dimensional on Paul and not enough George, but a step in the right direction. I am still hoping to see a good feature film about The Beatles not named "A Hard Day's Night" at some point.
My comments on the glaring mistakes in Nowhere Boy reflect those of the Beatles purists. And though to many these fanatics may seem a bit overboard in their demand for perfection, they do provide good reasoning behind it. ..Where as you and I know the truth about what really happened, a young, new, soon to be Beatles fan is not going to be able to see discern the fictitious parts and will take it as gospel. This is who rumors and lies get started about the Fab Four. It's like the rumor about Aunt Mimi dodging bombs in the streets to see John when he was born in the hospital. It never happened that way…yet the story lives on.
Yep, it is interesting when I took up the Phillip Norman book and discovered that there are some factual errors. Among them, as you pointed out the fact that Liverpool wasn't bombed on October 9th.
Still, I stand by my point. They are the same height. That being said, please continue your blog, it is highly enjoyable, and I learn lots and you help me find a good understanding about most things.

Mexico's Toks restaurant chain adopts SIMBA Chain blockchain for coffee traceability
Mexico's family restaurant chain Toks has partnered with the blockchain platform SIMBA Chain to develop a traceability solution for its coffee supply chain. Toks, among several items on its menu, serves coffee crafted from its sustainably sourced, roasted, and ground coffee beans.
Toks is a popular restaurant chain in Mexico and currently has 208 outlets across the country. It is owned by Mexican listed conglomerate Grupo Gigante, whose other chains include Office Depot and The Home Store.
Meanwhile, SIMBA Chain is best known for its U.S. Air Force contracts, and a few months ago raised $1.5 million in a seed round. But following up on its defense contracts, it now has more than a thousand applications on its platform, which supports Ethereum, Quorum, Hyperledger Fabric, Stellar and other blockchains.
Coffee supply chains are inherently complex, with a large number of intermediaries such as growers, traders, roasters, curers, and other processors. Toks said it works with cooperatives of small farmers to source coffee beans that go into each of its restaurants. Working with SIMBA Chain, Toks will develop a distributed application (Dapp) prototype to register and track coffee beans as they are purchased, processed, packaged, and sold by Toks.
SIMBA Chain recently launched a cloud-based smart contract as a service platform that helps enterprises deploy Dapps faster. Toks aims to use this solution to build a Dapp for coffee bean traceability.
"Smart contracts are a powerful tool for food producers and restaurant companies that want to bring enhanced security and traceability to their supply chain," said Joel Neidig, CEO and Co-founder of SIMBA Chain.
"It is important that we authenticate, track, and trace every bag by farmer, coffee grade as well as production dates. SIMBA Chain's smart contract solution will help Toks maintain the high quality that our customers expect and enjoy," said Gustavo Pérez Berlanga, Senior VP of sustainability and social responsibility for Toks Restaurant Group.
The project will begin in May, and a prototype is expected to be delivered by September 2020.
SIMBA Chain was founded after a DARPA (U.S. Defence agancy) grant to the computing department of the University of Notre Dame and Indiana Technology and Manufacturing Companies (ITAMCO). It has since assisted the U.S. defense departments with blockchain solutions.
SIMBA worked with the U.S. Air Force on an aircraft parts manufacturing traceability blockchain. The solution helped verify 3D printing data for aircraft parts. Most recently, it won a $9.5 million contract to deploy a blockchain-based messaging and transaction platform for the Naval Air Warfare Center. Separately, Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) tested SIMBA's blockchain solution for tracking aircraft parts.
Among food traceability projects, IBM's Food Trust has several high-profile clients worldwide. J.M. Smucker, Douwe Egberts, and a few others are using IBM's blockchain through their partnership with Farmer Connect for coffee traceability.
Starbucks is also exploring blockchain for coffee traceability.

Steve Wynn Met With Treasury Department For Advice After Selling $2.1B Stake in Casino Empire

Steve Wynn met with the US Treasury Department after selling his $2.1 billion stake in his namesake company after sexual misconduct allegations against him came to light early last year.
Following his fall from grace, Steve Wynn met one-on-one with a counselor to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. (Image: Taylor Hill/Getty/CBS News/Casino.org)
According to The Wall Street Journal – which first exposed the alleged sexual wrongdoings in January 2018 – Wynn met on June 4 with Daniel Kowalski, a counselor to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.
The billionaire was seeking advice on how he might reduce his 2018 tax liability from cashing out of Wynn Resorts, which would have put him on the hook for around $125 million. Specifically, Wynn was inquiring about the 2017 tax reform program, known as the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act," that President Donald Trump signed into law on December 22 of that year.
Along with reducing tax rates for businesses and many individuals, the bill created "opportunity zones." The program afforded tax breaks and the reduction and delaying of capital gains for investments made in low-income areas.
Mnuchin's official record from June 4 shows that he stopped by to see the former casino tycoon during his visit. Steve Wynn is listed as Wynn Resorts CEO on the secretary's calendar despite the billionaire resigning from that role four months earlier.
Treasury: No Wrongdoing
During a House Ways & Means Committee hearing on Thursday to discuss the president's 2020 budget proposal with Mnuchin, Rep. Don Beyer (D-Virginia) brought up the Wynn meeting. "We have meetings with lots of people," the secretary answered.
Wynn resigned as the finance chair of the Republican National Committee when he left his casino company.
The Treasury Department said in an official statement, "The point of the meeting was for educational purposes. The Secretary briefly dropped by to say hello to Mr. Wynn."
The WSJ admits Wynn's meeting didn't violate any laws or ethics rules.
Individuals are not required to disclose if they made "opportunity-zone" investments. Wynn, who has disappeared from public life, has made no mention of whether he took advantage of such tax break incentives. However, he would needed to have done so by September of last fall due to the law's stipulations.
Massachusetts Readies Review
Steve Wynn continues to maintain he never acted inappropriately with female workers. Last month, Wynn Resorts neither admitted guilt not refuted the Nevada Gaming Control Board's investigative conclusions that on at least seven occasions executives or managers became aware of the billionaire's alleged actions.
The Nevada Gaming Commission subsequently imposed a record $20 million fine on the company, but allowed it to keep its coveted gaming licenses.
In Massachusetts, gaming regulators are to receive the state's review into whether Wynn Resorts purposely concealed knowledge of the sexual misconduct claims during its 2013 bidding. Specifically, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) wants to know if there was a coverup of an alleged $7.5 million hush payment made to a woman who became pregnant with Wynn's child.
The MGC's Investigation and Enforcement Bureau completed its review months ago, but the materials haven't been given to the five-member commission due to a lawsuit filed by attorneys representing Wynn. That case was recently settled.
The MGC will determine if Wynn Resorts remains suitable to hold a casino license in Massachusetts. If not, it could revoke the permit that the company paid $85 million for, and throw the future of the $2.6 billion Encore Boston Harbor into jeopardy.

Learn about how Configuration Management can be performed in a test-first manner (in these examples) using Chef, in a talk full of food puns. I'll discuss how investing time into the manner in which your application is deployed is almost as important as the software that is deployed.
Chef is a great tool for provisioning your infrastructure, as well as performing scripted deployments for your applications.
When building a new service that required a lot of configuration, our team decided to use the infrastructure already used at Capital One (both UK and US) and to investigate Chef over a sprint's work. I'll briefly talk about why we chose this over other Configuration Management tools, or leveraging some existing Bash scripts.
As a team who are strong believers of testing first - through TDD - we have spent a lot of time working on fully unit tested code, as well as building levels of quality into our code through reviews, enforced linting and unit tests, as well as verifying the code actually configures a machine as expected.
This talk will have a focus on building up confidence in the system you're deploying your application to, as well as the actual application that's being deployed. You'll also be served with a treat - all the culinary puns you could ever want - wincing not optional!

Where in the world did the month of October go?
Announcements were made Sunday morning in church and one of them was our upcoming THANKSgiving supper?
How in the world can THANKSgiving be a little over 3 weeks away?
I think being depressed could be why October slipped through my fingers. I spent 3 weeks in a dark tunnel, for lack of a better explanation. Many of you understand, I know. For those of you who don't understand, please don't judge. Please don't say "just get over it". Please don't quote scripture. Please don't brag on how you don't ever get depressed, or how you're able to get over it on your own. Please don't say that the depressed person must not be a Christian. Most likely the depressed person has already spoken all those things to themselves anyway.
and what about Job and so many other great saints in the Bible.
Just pray for your friends when they ask for it.
Yesterday morning when I prayed, I asked God to send me some encouragement. Not very long after that a friend called and we talked for over an hour. Oh, what an encouragement it was to me to talk to my friend and share with her some of my frustrations. She in turn did the same and it was difficult for me to even hang up because of the connection we have. There is NOTHING in the world like a God-ordained friendship.
So, there you have it, folks.
That's a bit of my rambling thoughts for Tuesday morning.
HOPE each of you has a wonderful day.
you never know what just a smile will do to lift someone's spirits.
just keep Breathing in His Grace and Breathing out His praise!!!
I hope and pray that your November brings you peace, joy, laughter and love.
You are so precious...your honesty, your faith, your walk with God is such a blessing to me. Just so happens depression is an old friend of mine, not a good friend either. God doesn't forsake His children, everything thing is going to be okay because He holds us in His righteous right hand. Sending my love across the miles.
You are NOT alone, Deb. You really aren't!!!
Oh Mrs Deb! It makes my heart hurt to hear that you have been in such a dark place recently. Praying your November is filled with light and joy. You are loved!!

Doug Casey Shows You How to Profit from the Latest Central Bank Gimmick
Nick Giambruno: Doug, both the Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan (BOJ) had big meetings recently.
It seems the BOJ is eager to adopt every new "innovative" policy. I'm keeping a close eye on its strategy for debasing the yen since the Fed will probably adopt that method soon enough.
The BOJ's latest gimmick is to target the yield curve by printing currency to buy up enough government bonds to keep the 10-year rate pegged at precisely zero.
Doug Casey: At this point, I don't see how anyone with an IQ above room temperature can believe that these academics know what they're doing. What's happening in Japan is disastrous, not only for the Japanese but eventually for the rest of the world as well. Japan's just leading the race to Dead Man's Curve, for the moment. But what the U.S. does is much more dangerous, because the U.S. dollar is, in practice, the world's currency.
All of the world's central banks use the dollar as their main asset. And the dollar not only serves as the de jure national currency in several countries, but also as the de facto currency in dozens more. If the yen blows up, it's a problem mainly for the Japanese. If the dollar blows up, it's a worldwide catastrophe.
The U.S. is going to run trillion-dollar annual deficits in the years to come. It's not going to be able to sell that paper to the Chinese and the Japanese as in the past. So the Fed is going to be stuffed to the gills with it. Plus a lot of toxic waste it'll buy to prop up failing corporations as times get tough.
Nick Giambruno: The BOJ's stock holdings also caught my attention recently. It's now one of the top five shareholders of 81 companies on the Nikkei 225 stock index. And it's set to be the number one shareholder of more than 55 of those companies by the end of the year, according to Bloomberg.
It's amazing that some people still think a central bank is a free-market creature.
Doug Casey: No idea is too stupid or destructive for the bureaucrats infesting the world's central banks. And it shows just how desperate they've become…
Now, in fairness, Japan isn't the first country to try this. The Swiss National Bank is said to have bought nearly $62 billion worth of shares in the U.S. market – as a way to "manage" the value of the Swiss franc. And Hong Kong's central bank bought local shares during the 1998 Asian crisis. Dim-witted journalists still credit this government buying spree with creating the following economic recovery – much like they wrongly credit FDR's policies for getting us out of the Depression.
But it's a bad idea now, just as it was then. Putting capital into the hands of bureaucrats can only lead to disastrous consequences. Because it gives them even more influence over how the companies will conduct their business – on top of the thousands of laws, regulations, and other hurdles that already stand in the way.
Plus there is always the implied threat the government will retaliate against politically incorrect decisions. So instead of running the company in order to turn a profit, the managers are making all sorts of goofy decisions to satisfy their government "partners."
Not to mention, government ownership crowds out activist shareholders who would otherwise agitate for change. Good luck gathering enough votes to boot out the incompetent board member who was "suggested" by the government…
Incidentally, the latest fashion is for governments to set up "sovereign wealth funds," where they invest in public and private companies' shares. This is just asking for trouble. Nigeria is the latest one. I promise 98% of the money in its fund will disappear without a trace.
Nick Giambruno: Just to play devil's advocate…
Doesn't the government buying private assets drive up prices, making everyone feel wealthier and spend more money? Doesn't it "stimulate the economy"?
Doug Casey: Of course more demand for shares will increase the share price – assuming the share count remains stable. But, perversely, the BOJ's policy creates an incentive for companies to issue more shares, because the BOJ is taking shares off the market, and keeping the share price higher than it would otherwise be. The government "bid" allows executives and board members to fatten their pockets with stock options, while further diluting the average shareholder. As always, the main benefits accrue to the 1%. It's true that, in a politicized economy, the rich really do get richer.
And like all government interventions, this policy sends false signals to the market. The "wealth effect" of higher stock prices is based on money that's been printed out of thin air, not savings. In order to keep prices elevated, the BOJ has to print ever-increasing amounts of money to prop up the market. As you mentioned, they are on track to becoming the number one shareholder in a shockingly short time…
These actions always have unintended consequences as well. For instance, liquidity can dry up because one owner holds this giant block of shares – making it harder for other shareholders to dispose of their shares. A liquidity crisis already occurred in the Japanese bond market earlier this year because the government owns the largest blocks there, too…
112 Billionaires Buying Gold in Anticipation of December Announcement
All over the news billionaires like George Soros and John Paulson are buying gold hand over first. But unknown to the mainstream media, a group of 112 billionaires are poised to begin a historic gold buying spree. They're preparing for a major December announcement that could rock markets… And spark a $3 TRILLION wave of buying that sends gold to $5,000, virtually overnight. There's no time to sit on this one. Click here for the full story.
Even if Hillary Beats Trump This November, She LOSES…
Does it really matter if Hillary crushes Trump in the debates? Maybe not. Because, guess what… According to a new finding by an ex-advisor to the CIA and Pentagon… winning the White House may work out to be a DISASTER for Hillary. No, it's got nothing to do with her husband's scandals… or the unwinnable War on Terror. It's a whole different kind of threat, one even she didn't count on. Click this link and find out what it is. Hillary must be terrified…
Nick Giambruno: Stepping back for a moment, it's incredible that central banks actually try to create inflation.
After all, the U.S. government sold the Fed to Americans by promising it would preserve the value of the dollar – not squash it.
Doug Casey: Correct. And even then, they had to slip it through Congress during the Christmas break when most Senators had gone home. A trick that Obama repeated nearly a century later, by the way, when he signed the National Defense Authorization Act authorizing indefinite detention of American citizens.
It's one more example of a program sold to the public in the aftermath of a crisis created by the government itself. Like the Department of Homeland Security after 9/11. The so-called Patriot Act. Or the giant bureaucracy that's grown alongside Obamacare. Once these institutions are in place, they are almost impossible to get rid of. Remember, the Prime Directive of every organism is to survive… and that implies growth, and the acquisition and control of more and more resources. Individual Federal Reserve members and Bank of Japan directors naturally want more power.
Every country in the world has a central bank, and they're all doing exactly the same thing: creating currency units out of thin air as fast as they think they can get away with. They feel they have no alternative. Take Gideon Gono, who was the head of the Zimbabwe Reserve Bank when it issued 100 trillion dollar notes. I know him personally. He didn't do it because he thought it was a good idea. He did it because he felt he had no alternative, and was following the best accepted practice. It sounds incredible, but it's true.
And they are all trapped, because if they take their foot off the gas pedal, the markets will drop from the loss of liquidity. Like during the so-called "taper tantrum" of 2013, when the Fed merely suggested a slowdown in its bond purchases. Former Fed Chairman Bernanke backed off immediately when the 10-year bond yield spiked 1.4%.
But, as you noted, it's odd they're trying to actually create inflation. Why might that be? I suspect it's because they fear a catastrophic deflationary collapse, with bond defaults and stock and real estate crashes. So they're printing up even more paper money—which will create even more bubbles—to prevent it. They're actually quite stupid.
And all these central bankers talk to each other. They all went to the same schools, they gather together at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, every September… and meet at Davos every winter…
These people all have the same worthless degrees from major universities, where they were taught by people like Ben Bernanke. In fact, Bernanke made a well-publicized visit to Japan this summer, where he reportedly lectured them on the virtues of "Helicopter Money."
So you can be sure that the BOJ will print trillions and trillions of new yen, and try every stupid idea that's dreamed up in the Ivory Towers…
Who knows? Maybe they'll be the first to try Paul Krugman's idea of minting a trillion-dollar coin to pay off the national debt.
Nick Giambruno: It reminds me of the 1989 Batman movie, where the Joker (played by Jack Nicholson) showers a crowded Gotham street with free money.
It looks like it's raining hundred-dollar bills. The people love it. But they don't know it's actually a trap. Once the Joker lures them into the street, he poisons the unsuspecting crowd with gas.
Back to Japan. One of the new twists in the BOJ's recent meeting was a pledge to maintain a "steep" yield curve. In their view, that means negative rates on the short end (the overnight rate for banks borrowing from each other) and the grand sum of "zero" on the 10-year rate.
Doug Casey: It's just one more example of how degraded modern finance has become. Evidently they're doing this to help the banks, insurance companies, and pension funds that need to invest a certain percentage in long-term bonds. They were getting squeezed by negative rates on those assets. And these days a large pension fund or insurance company can't go to the bank and take out millions of dollars in cash to put in a safe. So in that sense, zero return is better than having to pay the government to hold its debt…
But of course this does nothing to ease the burden of the average Japanese citizen who has his life savings in yen. He's not getting any return on his savings, if he leaves it in the bank. So quite correctly, many Japanese have decided to buy safes to store gold and cash at home.
Nick Giambruno: So Doug, how does this end for Japan? Any investment implications?
Doug Casey: Well, I used to say that all fiat currencies (including the yen) would reach their intrinsic value – namely, the value of the paper they're printed on. But with the global war on cash, even that may be too optimistic…
As far as the Japanese stock market, I'm standing aside for now. I could make the case that the Nikkei will continue to rise as the government prints increasing amounts of yen to purchase shares. At some point stocks will crash, as investors lose faith in the BOJ and the yen itself… That would create an ideal crisis-investing situation.
But I'll give you a prediction. The Greater Depression is going to be worse than even I think it's going to be.
Nick Giambruno: Thanks for your time, Doug.
Doug Casey: My pleasure, Nick.
Editor's Note: Unfortunately, most people have no idea what really happens when a currency crashes, let alone how to prepare…
The coming economic collapse is going to be much worse, much longer, and very different than what we've seen in the past.

Lotus Exige S (S2) | Spotted
How to spend new hot hatch money is one of our favourite conundrums. The Exige is an oft-cited answer
By Sam Sheehan / Sunday, January 12, 2020
Lotus is undergoing its biggest transformation yet, and nowhere is the shift more apparent than in the upcoming Evija EV. The 2,000hp electric hypercar represents so many firsts for the British brand that it's barely recognisable as a Lotus product at all. Its sub-1.7-tonne kerbweight, while admittedly lighter than equivalent rivals, feels somewhat un-Lotus. Even more so than the lack of engine, completely alien design philosophy and, well, plenty more attached to its carbon fibre monocoque – which itself is another Lotus first.
Impressive as it is, the Evija isn't a signal of what's to come across the board, it's a signal of intent to show that Lotus is aiming high on the world's biggest stage. Beneath its mission statement we expect to see a lineup which includes more traditional offerings, designed to succeed the purebred line-up of Elises, Exiges and Evoras. These are the cars that have carried Lotus through difficult years and maintained it in the face of financial difficulty. It's still the best in the business when it comes to chassis work.
The Exige in particular has done a stellar job of illustrating that fact. The S3 has inevitably put on a few pounds compared to its predecessors thanks largely to the addition of a 3.5-litre V6 engine at its heart, but it still tips the scales at 1.1 tonnes. It remains a featherweight in 2020. Still, some purists lust most after the S2 because while it has two fewer cylinders, with even the supercharged Exige S weighed just 935kg.
With the addition of a blower, its Toyota-supplied 1.8-litre four-cylinder produces 221hp and 159lb ft of torque, which is plenty in a car liable to blow away if you sneeze too close to it. Naturally, it's got manual gearbox, but 62mph still comes in just 4.3 seconds and top speed is a very respectable 148mph, so it's not like short gearing is the explanation for its pace. Of course, with so little mass onboard the S2 Exige is just as athletic through the bends, its short dimensions and the instantaneous responses afforded by a 'charged motor meaning it's perfectly in line with the philosophies of Colin Chapman – and effervescently rewarding to drive quickly as a result.
The Series 1 is, admittedly, the rawest Exige offering. The earlier platform is lighter and the K-Series engine – while prone to head gasket failure – is arguably the more exciting, even if it lacks the Toyota unit's peak punch. But the S2 is generally regarded as offering almost all of the S1's class and capability in a far more rounded, not to mention reliable, package. And, let's face it, used values for S2s mean they're now comfortably the best value option for Exige ownership. You'll need more than £30k to open your search for an S1 on PH's classifieds, meaning there's barely anything between these rare early cars and far younger, V6-powered S3s. By comparison there are two S2s presently on PH for under £25k.
Today's Spotted is neither of those examples, because we're opting to spend just short of twenty-eight grand on a rather lovely red Exige S. It's got 46,000 miles on the clock, a fair amount for a 13-year-old car like this, but most importantly its latest custodian is an Exigephile who came back to Lotus ownership after selling a McLaren. This is their third example of Lotus's mid-engined sports car, and it looks to be in fine shape both inside and out, with a healthy supply of additional carbon parts added by the current owner. It hasretained a full-service history, both keys and is sat on a set of new boots. Oh, and the only reason it's being sold is the arrival of a manual Audi R8 Spyder. Say no more.

It's not very often you get contacted by SEGA out of the blue, nor is it very often you're given the chance to have some questions answered by one of the original creators of NiGHTS into Dreams -represented- by SEGA. Ohohoh.
Takashi Iizuka, producer, director, and lead designer of Journey of Dreams was in London's SEGA headquarters to promote his new game. Community manager Kevin Eva (Also admin of Sonic Wrecks ) attended to represent the .Com, as DiGi and I couldn't attend due to busting our bank flying out to Amsterdam SEGA Benelux a few weeks prior on short notice to play the JoD Beta D:
Mr AAUK went armed with a selection of obscure questions I'd written up regarding both the original and the new game.
Thanks to Mike Taylor from NintendoLife we have audio/video and a transcript of the interview. Mike was also there asking questions along with G from SEGANerds. Consider the following to be the 'epic combi meal' of our Websites' joint efforts.

Interview Transcript:
Nintendo Life: When did development for Journey of Dreams start?
Takashi Iizuka: The idea came about 2 Years ago. Development began 1 and a half years ago
Nintendo Life: Years ago rumors came about, for a game called Air NiGHTS, a proposed sequel for the original game. Motion control was rumored to be the main idea for the game back then. Was Air NiGHTS a real game, and did it have any bearing on Journey of Dreams?
Takashi Iizuka: At the time SEGA had been playing with the idea of motion control on their consoles. Air Nights was a prototype game testing out the technology. Nothing came of it, and development stopped.
SEGANerds: Where did you come up with the idea for the My Dream segment of the game?
Takashi Iizuka: It was developed from the A-Life system in the original NiGHTS. While the original only allowed you to interact with A-Life in the missions. You now have a separate, small world, the beauty of A-Life, is it creates a place where the developers will not be able to predict what will happen.
SEGANerds: Why did you decide to give NiGHTS a voice? And why did you choose a female voice?
Takashi Iizuka: [LAUGHS] Well the original game had voice clips for NiGHTS, but in Journey of Dreams I wanted to use more voice acting. The voice helps to add depth to the game play, and tell the story in the cut scenes.
NiGHTS is neutral, and therefore has no gender. The impressions of the character with regards to gender are totally up to the player.
SEGANerds: Will there be any unlockable content in Journey of Dreams? Like with Christmas NiGHTS – you could unlock Sonic.
Takashi Iizuka: There will be some unlockable features, but I cannot say what they are. They are meant to be a surprise. But if players get high rankings, they will unlock features.
SEGANerds: Is there anything you would have liked to have changed or added to the final release of Journey of Dreams?
Takashi Iizuka: No, nothing more. I feel that we have implemented everything we wanted to. I think we did everything we could do with the Wii's features.
Nintendo Life: [JOKES] Nothing more you could so. Perfect!
Takashi Iizuka: [LAUGHS]
SEGANerds: Which control method do you prefer?
Takashi Iizuka: I personally prefer the Wiimote controls, as you get the feeling of free flying with these controls.
But I suggest that fans of the original may wish to use the GameCube controller, as it is more like the Saturn controller, and is what players will be used to, at least at first.
NiGHTSintoDreams.com: Some people say that BellBridge (the game's fictional setting), resembles parts of London. Is there any truth to this? And if so, why did you choose this setting?
Takashi Iizuka: Well like the character of Sonic is designed to be more like American style, NiGHTS has been designed to be more like that of European. So that is why the stages have the look of a more European setting.
It is also why the characters in NiGHTS have English accents.
NiGHTSintoDreams.com: How many people worked on NiGHTS Journey of Dreams?
Takashi Iizuka: There were 26 developers from Sonic Team USA working on the game. With the sound and CG developed in Japan.
NiGHTSintoDreams.com: Why was Jackle not included in Journey of Dreams? Is the Chameleon boss meant to be a replacement? In addition, will we see Jackle again?
Takashi Iizuka: [LAUGHS] Well really I like the character, but if we created all the characters again we would be looking at the same game. We only wanted to keep Wizeman and Reala. [LAUGHS] It is a new game.
(*)NiGHTSintoDreams.com: The second biggest mystery of NiGHTS! What did the deleted boss Selph look like? Apparently there was a deleted boss from the original game called Selph.
Takashi Iizuka: [LAUGHS] How do you know about Selph?
NiGHTSintoDreams.com: 'They' know.
Takashi Iizuka: [LAUGHS] They, who is they?
NiGHTSintoDreams.com: Fans.
Takashi Iizuka: [LAUGHS] Ah, ok.
Well the idea for the character existed, but he was never actually created.(*)
Nintendo Life: In Journey of Dreams, NiGHTS has different masks, which he can use. What is your favourite mask?
Takashi Iizuka: It depends on the situation; I like the Rocket mask because you can use it to create your own strategy.
But my favourite will have to be the Dragon mask.
Nintendo Life: While we were having a play of your game a little while ago, we noticed that there is a counter in the game. The counter seems to change with each night you play. Does this have any effect on the game at all?
Takashi Iizuka: No. It is just there as a counter, for you to know how long/many times you have been playing.
SEGANerds: NiGHTS used the Saturn's internal clock to add new game play/secrets to the game, depending on the date. Will the same feature be used in Journey of Dreams?
Takashi Iizuka: No. For the Saturn, it was a new feature and a new challenge.
With the Wii, the Forecast Channel is the new challenge. However there will be seasonal events within the game, which will appear in the My Dreams section.
Nintendo Life: It has recently been announced that NiGHTS is being remade for the PS2. Will the game be released worldwide? In addition, are there any plans for a Wii version, perhaps on the Virtual Console?
Takashi Iizuka: There are currently no plans for the PS2 version to be released outside of Japan.
Nintendo Life: [TUTS]
Takashi Iizuka: [LAUGHS] It is being released in Japan, due to the high demand for the game. So there are no plans for a worldwide release… for now. As for Virtual Console there are no plans for a release either… for now.
NiGHTSintoDreams.com: For gamers who played NiGHTS into Dreams obsessively, you could unlock rare Nightopians called King or Superpians. Will there be any rare Nightopians in Journey of Dreams?
Takashi Iizuka: In the My Dreams section of the game it is possible to mix Nightopians with the Marens (baddies) to create new creatures.
There will also be Superpians.
Nintendo Life: Thank you very much, for your time and for making a new NiGHTS game.
Takashi Iizuka: Thank you.
Are we finished yet? Heck no! The following Monday morning we were sent a parcel of glee from SEGA, fiendishly gathered together during a meeting with Iizuka-san later on to discuss our lovely fanbase (THAT'S YOU GUYS). Here's some pictures of our amazing Christmas gifts!
The unreleased USA BoxArt… signed by Iizuka!
A -massive- Japanese Journey of Dreams promo poster. Signed by Takashi Iizuka for me and DiGi XD Needless to say, Ebay will never see this sucker for no sum of money. I want to get this framed… need to find a frame BIG enough…
And as a super extra Christmas gift Arch' showed Iizuka some of my most popular pieces of old artwork. Iizuka was 'very very very impressed' and apparently 'enthralled'. Paradox was his favourite one. Aha I'm a big sap and cried about it. Dude. Then… HE SIGNED MY ARTWORK O_O… I kid you not.
*snicker… he signed Reala's Butt teeheehee*
( That's one case of art stealing I don't think I'll report XD )
SEGA we still adore you T_T even after all these years, it's seriously heartwarming to see the creators connect to their fans in this way.
THE BIG SELPH MYSTERY
If you've listened to the audio for the above interview you will have heard the part at which AAUK asks Iizuka about the boss Selph. Iizuka seems somewhat shocked as to how we would know about a boss that didn't even make it into a beta. He speaks to his translator in Japanese thinking that it probably wouldn't be noted or understood. But we wouldn't be very good NiGHTS fans if we just took his translators English answer would we? ha ha
Our Japanese staff member Seiya listened to the conversation between the translator and Iizuka and told us exactly what is being said. It REALLY goes like this -
(*)—TRANSLATIONS—
*AAUK asks about Selph*
Translator to Iizuka- "What is it? Such a boss was in the plan of original NiGHTS?"
Takashi Iizuka to translator- "Yeah, it's true. I had thought I wanna add a boss called Selph to original NiGHTS."
Translator to Iizuka- "Well, is it ok if I tell it (in English)?"
Takashi Iizuka to translator- "OK. Maybe Naka had already told it before."
Translator to Iizuka- "Ah, so they know… But why was it deleted?"
Takashi Iizuka- "Because… The original story of NiGHTS already had been made perfectly. So I thought the boss isn't needed anymore. So I deleted Selph."
And that's the truth behind the famous deleted boss, Selph. Iizuka himself was responsible for Selph's deletion.
This most certainly wraps up the entire myth as to what Selph originaly was, and now we know. He was indeed 100% a boss character but was removed because the story was as good as it could be….which now brings up the speculation as to what made Selph so important that he changed the flow of the story.
And uh.. sorry to the lovely Mr Yuji Naka who actually DIDN'T tell us about Selph. We kinda figured that one out ourselves
NiGHTS fanbase – we're a sneaky lot.

Hey guys! As you guys have seen this week, we are taking it back a few years as far as class structure is concerned. If you arrive before class time, hit the mobility hard, but please refrain from starting the warmup until the class start time. If you're one of those folks that's habitually 10 to 15 minutes late, time to start leaving a few minutes earlier to get there on time. There are a number of reasons we'd like you to be on time, but first and foremost, we want to make sure everyone is getting the warm up they need, which is a big deal when it comes to keeping folks healthy. Something else to consider is class management. When 8 of 10 people are on time, and 2 show up late, the coach invariably extends the warm up time to some extent to cover the late arrivals. That's nice for the folks that have arrived late, but not so nice for the folks that got there early or on time. It also means less time for skill, strength wod and cool down. In short, we want the best for all of you, so we are asking you to help us out a little. We love you guys!
See you 530ers bright and early!


After a long absence, I'm seeking some needed help. After a year of zero problems I got the car out for a show, it started but sounded like it was missing, ran rough and had to feather the throttle to keep it at idle. Seemed better in 2nd and 3rd, Drove around the block to warm it up but didn't improve, by the time I made the round and got home it quit altogether and hasn't started since. Fuel pump comes on with the ignition and the engine turns over but will not start. Just bought a code reader but haven't had a chance to check it yet. If any you have any ideas I'd love to hear from you. I'm 8 hrs away from the nearest Lotus service, so doing my best to narrow this down before I make the trip. Thanks in advance.
Bibs, I'm new to the forum and appreciate all your hard work, just donated 100 US to keep things going. Happy New Year!

French sociologist Émile Durkheim identified two modes of maintaining social order. The first is mechanistic solidarity, wherein cohesion develops among people who play similar roles and whose status is more or less equally valued, save for those in leadership positions. This applies to kinship-based systems (formerly called "primitive") where the unit of organization is the extended family or clan, and the distinction between the individual and society is minimal. The second is organic solidarity, in which order is achieved through a complex division of labor and role differentiation. This is typical of capitalist societies, which rely on the integration of specialized tasks.
Both systems have their merits and demerits. In the musical realm, the division of labor allows a select group, known as "musicians," to focus on the craft and make significant cultural contributions. However, such specialization tends to have the opposite effect on the rest of the populace, which is tacitly discouraged from making music, even as an amateur pursuit. This contrasts with the norm in indigenous groups, where an egalitarian ethos encourages music from everyone. Although lacking in notation and recording, and all the artistic expansion they afford, their music can be remarkably intricate and varied.
Blacking identified division of labor rather than an absence of aptitude as the dampening force on music compulsion. In capitalist societies, where skills become professions, commercial music is a major industry. Yet music sales still depend on our fundamental musicality. The performers may be specialists, but they are no more proficient in discerning musical sounds than the listeners who support them. Thus, the musical consequence of societal evolution is not biological but sociological. The shift from indigenous to industrial societies causes a general redirection of emphasis from collective music-making to individual listening. We remain musical, but our active expression is significantly stifled.

Stop 'moving the goalposts' over lockdown decisions, MPs tell Government
The Commons Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee said the Government should be more transparent with its framework

The UK Government should be more transparent and stop "moving the goalposts" over its lockdown decisions, MPs have urged.
The Commons Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee (PACAC) said the Government should publish data on its thresholds for dialling down coronavirus restrictions.
It warned in a report that "repeated" changes over lockdown and tiering decisions had led to "uncertainty" among the British public.
The lack of transparency caused "confusion and mistrust", it said.
The MPs said the Government's priority must be to ensure there is a "clear and consistent framework for making lockdown decisions as a path back to normality is charted".
As an example, the PACAC noted that leisure and hospitality businesses had not seen the data underpinning decisions to put restrictions on their sectors.
It also said that Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove's decision to decline an appearance before the committee last month was "contemptuous of Parliament".
MPs added that ministers sent in his place were "poorly briefed and unable to answer the committee's questions".
The PACAC report said: "The new road map must be updated to point to where data can be found under each indicator.
"The road map indicators should be added to the dashboard, with clear links through to the data at lower local authority level underpinning each one.
"The framework for lockdown and tiering decisions has changed repeatedly throughout this pandemic.
Rape and sex offence charging policy change challenge fails
'17 buyers chasing every new home' House prices rise £2,500 in just a month
"While the Committee does not object to the inclusion of new metrics (such as vaccines), changes in the framework to date have not always appeared to reflect new information.
"This has amounted to a moving of the goalposts, which creates uncertainty, makes it impossible to see trends and therefore must stop."
Committee chairman William Wragg said: "This report is not intended to look at the rights and wrongs of the Government's decisions in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. It is about ensuring that we, as parliamentarians, can hold the Government to account for those decisions by examining the data.
"The British public must be commended for how it has risen to challenges that would be unimaginable in any other circumstance. Securing their trust is a crucial factor in the success of our response to the pandemic.
Sarah Everard vigil: Priti Patel to give statement over policing
Shaman's psychedelic drug DMT could have 'immediate impact' on depression
"For the Government to build public confidence, it is absolutely vital that it is open on how it reaches its decisions and the data underpinning them.
"Lessons must also be learnt on how the Government shares information with local partners.
"Delays in sharing vital data, and a reluctance to share detailed data almost certainly hampered the local response. This over-centralisation must not be repeated.
"I, like the rest of the country, look forward to the easing of lockdown restrictions and a return to normality. If the Government learns the right lessons and improves how it shares data with partners and the public, we can be in the best possible position to react to any future stages of the pandemic."

Data from: Threshold effect of habitat loss on bat richness in cerrado-forest landscapes
Renata L. Muylaert, Richard D. Stevens & Milton C. Ribeiro
Understanding how animal groups respond to contemporary habitat loss and fragmentation is essential for development of strategies for species conservation. Until now, there has been no consensus about how landscape degradation affects the diversity and distribution of Neotropical bats. Some studies demonstrate population declines and species loss in impacted areas, although the magnitude and generality of these effects on bat community structure are unclear. Empirical fragmentation thresholds predict an accentuated drop in biodiversity, and species...

Data from: Phylogenetic community structure of North American desert bats: influence of environment at multiple spatial and taxonomic scales
Lorelei E. Patrick & Richard D. Stevens
1. Numerous processes influence community structure. The relative importance of these processes are thought to vary with spatial, temporal, and taxonomic scale: density dependent interactions are thought to be most influential at small scales, at intermediate scales environmental conditions may be the most influential factor, and biogeographic processes are thought to be of greater importance at larger scales. Additionally, the stress-dominance hypothesis suggests that communities experiencing harsher environmental conditions will be predominantly structured by habitat...

Data from: Resource availability and roosting ecology shape reproductive phenology of rain forest insectivorous bats
Elias Nurul-Ain, Rosli Hashim, Tigga Kingston & Hashim Rosli
Bats in temperate and subtropical regions typically synchronize birth of a single young with peaks in resource availability driven by local climate patterns. In tropical rain forest, insects are available throughout the year, potentially allowing departures from seasonal monoestry. However, reproductive energy budgets may be constrained by the cost of commuting to foraging grounds from distant roosts. To test these hypotheses, we simultaneously tracked female reproductive activity of 11 insectivorous bat species, insect biomass, and...

Understanding diversity patterns and the potential mechanisms driving them is a fundamental goal in ecology. Examination of different dimensions of biodiversity can provide insights into the relative importance of different processes acting upon biotas to shape communities. Unfortunately, patterns of diversity are still poorly understood in hyper-diverse tropical countries. Here, we assess spatial variation of taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity of bat assemblages in one of the least studied Neotropical countries, Bolivia, and determine whether...

Goodyear Tires May Have Caused 95 Deaths or Injuries: Government
The alleged defective tires were said to be made for delivery trucks
Published Apr 5, 2018 at 9:00 AM | Updated at 9:14 AM EDT on Apr 5, 2018
AP Photo/Steven Senne, File
In this Thursday, Nov. 30, 2017, file photo, general maintenance technician Paul Bourque, of Everett, Massachusetts, rolls a wheel wth a new tire toward a vehicle at a Goodyear Auto Service Center, in Stoneham, Massachusetts. Goodyear is now under investigation for defective motor home tires that may have caused a number of deaths and injuries.
Within a decade, defective tires may be the cause 95 injuries or deaths.
Safety advocates allege the tires were designed for delivery trucks, recreational vehicles
The investigation covers about 40,000 tires made from 1996 to 2003
The U.S. government's road safety agency says it has received allegations that defective Goodyear motor home tires caused crashes that killed or injured 95 people over a decade.
The allegations were revealed in an information-seeking letter sent to Goodyear by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Last year, the agency began investigating whether Goodyear's G159 tires are unsafe. The probe began after a judge ordered the release of Goodyear data that had been sealed under court orders and settlement agreements.
Lawsuits and safety advocates allege the tires were designed for delivery trucks and not for recreational vehicles that travel at highway speeds.
Goodyear says it received the letter and will provide the requested information on the tires.
The investigation covers about 40,000 tires made from 1996 to 2003.
