Located between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River, Wisconsin is often considered the top state in the U.S. for hunting big white-tailed deer. The northern part of the state is heavily forested, with mixed hardwood and coniferous forests interspersed with thousands of small lakes. Much of the rest of the state is rich in farmland and is the reason the state is famous for its dairy products. This geographic diversity has produced a thriving herd of over a million whitetails. In addition, Wisconsin has nearly 6 million acres of public land and sells licenses over the counter for nonresidents that are good for one buck and one doe, making the state a deer hunter's paradise.
In addition to deer, Wisconsin offers hunting for black bears, wild turkeys, waterfowl, and upland game. Wolves were recently re-listed as endangered and are currently not huntable. The black bear population is thriving and expanding its range; in 2010, the state recorded a record harvest of 5,000 black bears. Baiting and hunting with dogs are legal; however, these methods are restricted to certain season dates. Wild turkeys were reintroduced to Wisconsin in 1976 and population levels are increasing statewide. Turkeys can be hunted in both spring and fall.

Which Wisconsin Exports Are Canada's Tariffs Hitting The Hardest?
State's Biggest Export Destination Retaliates On Products Ranging From Paper To Boats

"Let's keep a good thing growing!" declares a 2017 fact sheet in which the Canadian government's agriculture agency touts the nation's trade relationship with Wisconsin. Indeed, Canada is the United States' largest trading partner, and the biggest destination by far for exported goods from Wisconsin. Between 2008 and 2017, the state's exports to Canada have averaged about $6.85 billion per year, while imports from the U.S.'s northern neighbor have averaged around $4.1 billion annually.

But as the Trump administration ignites trade wars around the globe, Canada is fanning the flames, and has clearly done its homework on Wisconsin. After the U.S. announced new tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum products in May 2018, Canada imposed retaliatory tariffs on dozens of American goods. Using categories from the World Customs Organization's Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System — which attempts to give nations and businesses across a global marketplace a common nomenclature for thousands of types of products — Canada not only targeted U.S. steel and aluminum, but also a host of agricultural, food, paper and chemical goods.

Canada's tariffs, which went into effect on July 1, apply to 228 categories of American products. Of those, 163 cover those that Wisconsin has exported to Canada over the past decade. It's a surgical strike, not just at Wisconsin but likewise at other states Donald Trump won in the 2016 presidential election.

The World Custom Organization's categories range from the mind-numbingly granular (one subtype of steel product is described as "Other, in coils, not further worked than hot-rolled: Of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more but not exceeding 10 mm") to just plain baffling (one agricultural product category is "Of bovine animals: Other").

From 2008 through 2017, Wisconsin exported a total of $68 billion worth of products to Canada. The product categories tariffed by Canada in accounted for $6,100,719,257 of that. Altogether, that accounts for 8.5 percent of the state's exports to Canada over the 10-year period. Canada retaliatory tariffs are intended to send a message, but a figure exceeding 6 billion dollars is also bound up with thousands of livelihoods and the well-being of communities around the state.

The steel and aluminum tariffs will impact Wisconsin, but Canada's counterpunch is hitting the state where it really hurts: paper and agriculture.

With new tariffs on greeting cards, tissue paper, napkins, toilet paper and even playing cards, Canada puts pressure on a range of products that has represented more than $2 billion in exports from Wisconsin to that nation over the past decade. The paper industry employs just under 30,000 people in Wisconsin, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, though those numbers have been falling, even as the economy recovered from the Great Recession.

The paper industry has a long history in Wisconsin, especially in the Fox Valley. Paper might not be as iconic as cheese or Harleys, but this industry drove the clearcutting of the state's North Woods during the 19th century, and it has faced ups and downs in the late 20th and early 21 centuries.

In the meantime, Wisconsin newspapers are also worried about the impact of previously levied U.S. tariffs on Canadian paper.
   !function(e,t,n,s){var i="InfogramEmbeds",o=e.getElementsByTagName(t)[0],d=/^http:/.test(e.location)?"http:":"https:";if(/^\/{2}/.test(s)&&(s=d+s),window[i]&&window[i].initialized)window[i].process&&window[i].process();else if(!e.getElementById(n)){var a=e.createElement(t);a.async=1,a.id=n,a.src=s,o.parentNode.insertBefore(a,o)}}(document,"script","infogram-async","https://e.infogram.com/js/dist/embed-loader-min.js");
Agricultural and food products are not far behind, growing to rival paper in recent years.

New duties on products from cucumbers to soy sauce (produced at a large Kikkoman plant in Walworth County), to yogurt (produced at several facilities in Wisconsin, including a large Schreiber Foods plant in Richland Center, whose product is not exported to Canada) will touch Wisconsin farmers and food processors. (Curiously, the Canadian government spells yogurt as "yogourt," which is a bilingual nod.)

The tariffs also include "Waters, Including Mineral & Aerated, Sweetened Or Flavored," which is a big deal in the birthplace of Klarbrunn and La Croix. Wisconsin exported more than $249 million worth of products in that category to Canada between 2008 and 2017

Maple syrup, a product closely associated with Wisconsin in the popular imagination, is in the crosshairs too, but represents a much smaller dollar value: During the same period, Wisconsin exported about $2.5 million worth of the sweetener to Canada.

The impact of other new Canadian tariffs will be widespread in Wisconsin industries, large and small. The various types of steel and aluminum goods targeted represented more than $620 million in Wisconsin exports to Canada from 2008 to 2017.

Canada has hit products Wisconsin makes very little of (such as sleeping bags) and yet more industries that make up a significant chunk of the state's export footprint, like the chemical industry. The tariffs include a range of household products, from refrigerators to mattresses to washing machines, along with everyday odds and ends like pens and candles, as well as on the less-everyday end of things. For example, the trade war with Canada will also strike at Wisconsin's boatmakers, who depend heavily on international markets.

However, plenty of other notable Wisconsin exports were spared in Canada's reprisal, including silica sands, mink furs, bull semen and cranberries, though China has targeted the latter in its own set of retaliatory tariffs.

While Canada remains Wisconsin's largest export destination by far, this budding trade war is already demonstrating the variety of ways in which the state is coupled with this nearest of international markets.

Paper mills are a longstanding Wisconsin industry, and can be found around the state, including on the Fox River in Green Bay.

The Second Season of Ash vs Evil Dead Will Contain Ash's Craziest Fight Scene Ever
Filed to: ASH VS EVIL DEADFiled to: ASH VS EVIL DEAD
SDCC2016
Images: Starz
Yesterday's Ash vs Evil Dead Comic-Con panel was catnip for all the gorehounds who turned out to see Bruce "El Jefe" Campbell in person—as well as Sam Raimi, Lucy Lawless, Lee Majors, Ted Raimi, Dana DeLorenzo, Ray Santiago and Rob Tapert. Most also participated in a press room earlier in the day.
One big change for the Starz show's second season, which kicks off on Halloween, is that television legend Majors (The Fall Guy, The Six Million Dollar Man) is aboard to play Ash's cantankerous father. (Campbell joked that they had to cast Majors, since he's "the only other actor working in Hollywood who still has hair on his body," and prompted Majors to give proof.) Majors—who was attending Comic-Con for the first time—explained how he came to be involved with the show.
"When they approached me, I was not that familiar with the show, but I knew what it was," he admitted during the press room, in a tale he repeated for the panel. "I viewed the first episode, and then I kept viewing and viewing and viewing, all 10 episodes at one time. I said, 'This is a fun show.' I never associated so much horror and blood with being fun, but it's just hilarious, the crew is so good, and the chemistry all seemed to work very well. It's so well-done, and I don't mind being a part of it."
Majors and Campbell both mentioned how much they admire each other, and how well they get along off-camera, but that doesn't extend to their characters. "[Ash's father] doesn't like his son," Majors said. "[Ash] goes back to his home town, where he created the mess to begin with, and left me there trying to clean up his mess. The town kind of went against me, also, because they didn't want to be associated with the father of 'Ashy Slashy'."
The show-biz veteran, who called himself "old-school," had to quickly dive into the show's very bloody aesthetic. "The chainsaw starts and things start happening and I didn't even get a chance to close my eyes," he remembered. "I think [the other actors] get used to it, and they know what's coming, so they close their eyes before [the blood comes]. Anyway, it was all good and fun, but you walk around after that and have to stay in the same costume for hours. My pants and my shirt dried, so it felt like cardboard."
DeLorenzo and Santiago enthusiastically revealed that season two is even gorier than season one. In the first episode, DeLorenzo had to contend with 85 liters of stage blood. "And I Google, OK ... that's 26 gallons. Just on me. For one moment of one scene. And then Ray, Bruce, and I all got blasted with a cannon full of blood. And that wasn't enough blood, so they just honestly took a bucket of blood and dumped it over our heads. So yes, double the blood, bigger stunts, bigger action sequences."
After explaining that all that blood takes "no less than five showers and a bottle of shaving cream" to remove, DeLorenzo hinted at what that one of those bigger action sequences might entail.
"The one thing that will stand out [this season] will be the most disgusting yet hilarious Ash physical fight that [has happened] in the franchise. You will know what I'm talking about, because you will be talking about it around the water cooler at work when you are horrified, but laughing at what you just saw that you will not unsee."
Campbell offered even more intel on that fight scene. "There's a fight with a colon. An extended fight with a colon."
Of course Ash would fight a colon. "Ash is a flawed hero, and that's the beauty of it. I don't like heroes who are perfect. That's snoresville, man. I've turned down hero parts because the bad guy is so much better," Campbell said, noting excitedly (as he also did during the panel) that Ash smokes angel dust this season.
Going back home to Elk Grove, Michigan, where his father and his high-school best friend, Chet (played by Ted Raimi), still dwell is no simple task for Ash.
"Chet is a very questionable character on his own ... he makes drinks laced with ketamine. So that's not a healthy situation," Campbell said. "And [Ash's] relationship with his father is terrible. He hasn't seen his father in 30 years. His father thinks he's a serial killer, a maniac. The whole town gave him a nickname, 'Ashy Slashy.' So when he comes back to help the town, they don't really want it. So he's gotta fight the evil dead and his town."
Season two will also feature a yet-to-be-known character who will play a very important role. "There's also a new main, main baddie, who is a nasty fucker. But we're gonna take him down. If we can," Campbell said.
"It's somebody who was intimately connected to [Lucy Lawless' character] Ruby," Rob Tapert—who produced the original Evil Dead movies, including Army of Darkness, which will get shout-outs this season—explained. "[This character] now knows that Ash is the chosen one, and he must be stopped at all costs."
What paths might the show take if, as Campbell offered frequent and fervent hopes at the panel, it gets renewed for even more seasons? That's "the struggle of the show," according to Tapert.
"We kind of figure it out as we go. When we started this season, we thought we knew exactly where this is going. But the devil's in the details. Once you get into it, you go, 'Oh, it really wants to take this road, or you really want to follow this character in a new direction.' So that's been the creative challenge this season. You have an overall goal and you know, thematically, what you want to accomplish. But then the events that create that have been like jello."
While Sam Raimi is still involved in Ash vs Evil Dead, his role in season two is somewhat reduced, according to Tapert. "Sam had a huge footprint in the first season. [The season two plot of] going back home, some of the casting decisions, including Lee, and some things we played around with involving his beloved Delta [car]—[those are things] that he had to sign off on, and he was very much ultimately behind those things. He was very involved in the first part of the second season, getting that all set up. But he's been involved in some other big movie projects that sort of sucked him away for the later half of the season."
As for Lawless, whose character will have a much bigger role this season, "My fans want to see me kicking ass," she said. So there'll be plenty of that. But Ruby is "not entirely trustworthy," she stressed, and that seems to be a big factor in what happens as season two heats up. "In the end, Ruby is her own worst enemy. So just remember that I said that."

It's Never Too Late to Get Healthy
Even starting in middle age reduces risk of heart disease and death, study shows
THURSDAY, June 28, 2007 (HealthDay News) -- Adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle makes a difference, even if the change doesn't come until middle age.
In fact, people who eat right and exercise more can substantially reduce their risk for cardiovascular disease and death even if they're in their 50s or 60s, researchers from the Medical University of South Carolina report.
Consuming at least five fruits and vegetables daily, exercising at least 2.5 hours per week, maintaining a healthy weight and not smoking can lessen your chances of heart trouble by 35 percent, and your risk of dying by 40 percent, compared to people with less healthy lifestyles, according to the report in the July issue of the American Journal of Medicine.
"We call this the turning-back-the-clock study," said lead researcher Dr. Dana E. King. "We want to emphasize that it's not too late change, and the benefits of a healthy lifestyle don't accrue only to people who have been doing this all along, but you can make changes in your 50s and 60s and have a healthier longer life because of it."
King said his team wanted to test if, once you reach middle age, it's too late to adopt healthy habits and improve your health. "We found that it's not too late," he said. "The benefits were dramatic and immediate, even at age 65."
"Some people in middle age don't change, because they think the damage is done," King said. "In fact, in this study, the chances of dying or having a heart attack were reduced by a third after just four years of living a healthy lifestyle."
In the study, King's team collected data on 15,792 men and women aged 45 to 64 who took part in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study.
The researchers found that during four years of follow-up, the benefit of switching to a healthy lifestyle after age 45 became apparent. In addition, the benefit happened even with modest changes in health habits.
Moreover, a healthy lifestyle was beneficial when compared with people with three or fewer healthy habits, not just compared to people with no healthy habits or only one of the healthy habits, King's group found. While people with only three healthy habits had lower mortality, they did not reduce their risk for cardiovascular disease.
Unfortunately, only 8.5 percent of people in the study practiced these four healthy behaviors, and only 8.4 percent adopted these lifestyle changes after age 45.
King noted that men, blacks, those without a college education, those with lower income, or those with a history of high blood pressure or diabetes were all less likely to adopt a healthy lifestyle past age 45.
One expert noted that living healthy reduces your risk of other diseases, too.
"Most experts agree that a health-promoting lifestyle -- eating well, being active, not smoking -- can cut overall risk of heart disease by 80 percent, cancer risk by 60 percent, and diabetes risk by 90 percent," said Dr. David Katz, director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University School of Medicine.
King and his colleagues show that it may never be too late to start over, Katz said. "Healthy living is the most powerful medicine of all. It requires no prescription, and all of the side effects are beneficial, too. It can, admittedly, be tough at times to get there from here, but it's well worth it, and anytime is a good time to start."
"These are very encouraging results," said Alice H. Lichtenstein, director of the Cardiovascular Nutrition Lab and Gershoff Professor of Nutrition at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center at Tufts University.
"They confirm that adopting heart-healthy behaviors, regardless of age, can lead to clear benefits," Lichtenstein said. "Additionally, by identifying individuals who are more likely to adopt heart-healthy behaviors and who is not, more targeted programs to help the more unlikely ones to change can be developed."

No one can predict exactly how much you would have to pay if you were to cause an accident. Ask yourself how you would pay for any damages exceeding your coverage limits.
The higher your liability coverage limits are, the more likely your policy will be able to pay all of the damages.
How high or low should my collision and comprehensive deductibles be?
Higher deductibles lower your premium but increase the amount you must pay out of your own pocket if a loss occurs. Ask yourself how much you would be willing and able to pay on short notice in order to save on your premium.
You may be required to carry collision or comprehensive coverage if your vehicle is leased or financed. Once you have paid off your car, and its value decreases, you might consider dropping these coverages to save money on premiums. Consider, though, whether the savings would be enough to offset the risk of having to pay the entire cost of repairing or replacing the vehicle.
If you are buying or selling a car, you will need to re-evaluate your auto insurance needs.Generally, the more expensive the car, the more you pay.
Generally, due to higher rates of vandalism, theft, and accidents, urban drivers pay more for auto insurance than those in small towns or rural areas.
Studies have shown that credit history is a powerful predictor of future auto insurance losses. Many insurance companies consider certain credit characteristics in addition to many other factors when determining an individual's rate.
If you're shopping for a car, consider how your choice will affect premiums.
Some insurers increase premiums for cars more susceptible to damage or occupant injury, and lower rates for those that fare better than the norm.
Ask about discounts for good students, insuring more than one vehicle, accident-free driving, and others.
Consider joining a car or van pool, or finding other transportation to work. If you reduce your driving mileage enough, you may lower your premiums.
A deductible is the part of a covered loss that you have agreed to pay with your own money. If you file a claim against your insurance, you will pay only the amount of the deductible. Your insurance provider will pay the rest - up to your coverage limit. When choosing a deductible, you must decide how much you would be willing and able to pay out-of-pocket, if you ever had to file a claim. Typically, higher eductibles mean lower premiums.
An Auto Insurance policy generally consists of several kinds of coverages. Because all 50 states have different laws when it comes to Auto Insurance, the following coverage descriptions are simply general information. They are not statements of contract. To learn more about auto insurance in your area, contact an agent.
Bodily Injury Liability - which covers medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other special damages.
Property Damage Liability - which covers damaged property, and may include loss of use.
This coverage is available in most states. It pays medical and funeral expenses for covered persons when those expenses are related to an auto accident.
This coverage pays for damages when a covered person is injured in an auto accident caused by a driver who does not have Liability Insurance. In some states this coverage may also pay for property damage. This coverage varies by state and depends upon policy provisions.
This coverage pays for damages when a covered person is injured in an auto accident caused by another driver who has insufficient Liability Insurance. Application of this coverage varies by state and depends upon policy provisions.
This coverage pays for renting a car when your auto is disabled due to an auto accident. Daily allowances or limits vary by state or policy provisions.
This coverage pays for having your auto towed due to a breakdown. Towing limits vary by state or policy provisions. This information is only a general description of the available coverages and is not a statement of contract. All coverages are subject to all policy provisions and applicable endorsements.

People whose birthdays fall in the month of December often claim it's not the most ideal timing.
Families and friends are so focused on Christmas and the New Year that their special day sometimes feels like it has fallen by the wayside, The Mirror reports.
But while you may feel you miss out on special birthday celebration, scientists have 'discovered' that December babies have loads of other amazing benefits that other babies miss out on.
A 'multitude of scientific studies' (and some slightly less scientific) indicate that those not born in December may have actually drawn the short straw afterall.
Maybe it's because they were born in a month where it's pitch black by tea time, but research has found that people born in December are more likely to enjoy getting an early night AND waking up early .
Apparently those born in the winter and autumn months have natural athletic capabilities, according to a study in the International Journal of Sports Medicine .
Do you agree with the findings, are December babies 'more special'?

Q: getline(cin,s1) not prompting me for input The getline(cin, s1) function is not prompting me to input a string. it appears as if it is being skipped over even when the if condition is being met. any help? code is below. the problem is in the first if statement.
//Exercise 3.2
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using std::cin;
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
using std::string;

int main(){
char a1;

 cout << "Read line (L) or word (W)?:";
cin >> a1;

if (a1 == 'l'){
    string s1;
    getline(cin, s1);
    cout << s1 << endl;
}
else{
    string s1;
    while (cin >> s1){
        cout << s1 << endl;
    }
}
system("pause");
 return 0;
}

A: When you do:
cin >> some_char_variable;

it reads the char and leaves the input stream pointer pointing at the next character, which is invariably the newline you entered.
If you then do a getline(), it will get the line, which is delineated by that newline in the input stream that you left there.
This is the same problem as when you mix getchar() and fgets() in C, the combination of which generally always confuses newcomers.
I tend to avoid mixing the two styles, such as by using getline() everywhere, such as with:
string choice;
getline(cin, choice);

if (choice[0] == 'l') ...

But, if you must mix them, you can clear out the line before trying to accept more data, with something like:
cin.ignore(numeric_limits<streamsize>::max(), '\n');

For weddings September 1
On this day in 1939, Germany invaded Poland, thus signalling the start of World War II. Not the most auspicious of starts, is it (Groom) and (Bride)?
On this date in 1792, Mary Wollstonecraft published her groundbreaking book A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. And luckily for you (Groom), in order to celebrate this, (Bride) is going to spend the entire wedding night reading you extracts.
Now, September the 2nd marks another historic joint venture. It was on this day in 1992 that former enemies Russia and the United States agreed to build an international space station together. Of course, when you're cooped up in a tin can in orbit above the planet for months on end, you have to make very sure that you're going to get along with your crewmates. Personally, I think (Bride & Groom) would be perfect. If anything they'd get on better in zero gravity, because (Groom) wouldn't be able to leave his pants and socks on the floor!
On September the 2nd 1666, The Great Fire of London destroyed large swathes of the city. It was commemorated with the erection of what was then London's tallest structure, The Monument… I can't help drawing parallels with (Bride & Groom)'s wedding day. A red hot night, and in the morning, a massive… no, I can't say that…
It's September the 3rd; 493 years to the day since Ferdinand Magellan led the first successful expedition to circumnavigate the globe. He died en route, unfortunately, but his crew finished the journey for him. Marriage is a bit like that, I suppose. You set out together to see the world, there are adventures and pitfalls, storms and rough patches along the way, but at the end of it, if you're both still alive and you've planned your route properly, you might wind up on a beach in Spain.
(Groom), I didn't have you down as someone who knew and respected British Royalist history. It is 363 years to that day that Oliver Cromwell brought an end to the English Civil War by defeating the Royalists at Worcester and I can only attribute (Groom)'s odd behaviour this morning to a form of tribute to Charles II. Why else would he have been hiding in that oak tree?
On this day in 1965, Help! by the Beatles went to the top of the charts. Which, by coincidence, is the song Linda was originally planning to walk down the aisle too...
106 years ago today, the American Explorer Robert Peary became the first person to reach the geographical North Pole. Actually, there's some debate about that. He may have been as much as 97 kilometres off course. Which I suppose isn't far off in North Pole terms, but (Groom) if I were you, I'd aim for a much smaller margin of error in your marriage. Plan your journey together with the utmost care. Protect her and shelter her. Keep her from the cold at all costs... If you ever want anyone to reach your pole again, that is.
This is the beginning of a long and happy history of being together for (Bride) and (Groom). But today also marks another instrumental moment in time, for it was on this day in 1909 that the American explorer Robert Peary became the first person to reach the North Pole. I don't suppose (Groom) can imagine what it must be like to be stuck on a seemingly endless journey through a frigid, hostile wasteland. Constantly on edge … wondering whether your next mistake will be your last … but give him a few years of marriage.
How can we have a wedding today and not think about the Mayflower pilgrims, leaving Plymouth on September the 6th, 1620, to sail for the New World. There's a whole new world ahead for (Bride & Groom). One with less scurvy, thankfully, and a significantly diminished fear of witchcraft.
For weddings September 6-7
Well, for those who are still naïve, impressionable, and puerile of mind, it's back to school with you on Monday. Nervous, Paul?
I hope you like what I'm wearing today. As you can see, I've taken advantage of Primark's back to school clothing range.
For weddings September 10
Today's wedding coincides with the Last Night of the Proms, so here's hoping that tonight our Bride and Groom will make sweet music together and with any luck (Groom) will be asked for an encore.
Did you know, it's 93 years to the day since the Episcopal Church removed the word 'obey' from the bride's wedding vows. The Church of England still gives Brides the choice to include the traditional vow, but for some reason it hasn't got around to offering the same option for the Groom. Don't worry, (Groom). We all know who's in charge.
On September the 14th, 1984, Joe Kittinger became the first person to fly a balloon solo across the Atlantic Ocean. I thought about booking (Groom) a balloon flight for his stag night, but in the end we just went for some food at the pub. Same result at the end of the day… chicken in a basket.
121 years ago, New Zealand became the first self-governing country in the world to give the vote to women. Of course, women are still struggling to get their voice heard all over the world, but at least, in the 21st Century, thanks to women like (Bride), so are men.
It's September the 28th; the day, in 1066, that a once proud, independent kingdom was overcome by a mightier, more sophisticated leader. A day not unlike today, metaphorically speaking. Let's hope nobody loses an eye.
On this day in 1066, William the Conqueror invaded England, and claimed the throne. Paul must have been paying tribute in his own special way this morning, because he claimed the throne for at least two hours.
I wonder how many guests here are aware that today is actually Roald Dahl Day? And how many have heard that Phil first tried chatting up Julie by claiming to have something that's big, then friendly, then giant?
How appropriate that Tasha should agree to marry Ryan on the date of the annual International Day of Charity.

The nomination period runs through the application cycle up to one month before the application deadline. Review of Nominations • State coordinators convene state selection committees of prominent mathematicians, scientists, mathematics and science educators, and past awardees to select up to three mathematics category and three science category finalists for recognition at the state level and for submission to NSF. To ensure consistency, state selection committees review their applications using the same criteria and scoring information that was approved by OSTP. Following the state review applicants are given two weeks to complete an addendum to the state application that addresses state reviewer comments. • NSF (EHR) convenes a National Selection Committee of prominent mathematicians, scientists, mathematics and science educators, and past awardees that review the application packets of the state finalists including VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:32 Sep 04, 2020 Jkt 250001 the addendum and make recommendations to NSF.

Although Read Tuesday hopes to promote literacy and encourage reading through a huge one-day sales event like Black Friday, improving literacy and reading is a great cause any time of the year.
Get children to read anything (age-appropriate, of course)—even signs, menus, or electronic messages. Ask them questions about it as this will aid in comprehension.
Share your passion for reading with others. Let them see how much you enjoy it.
Ask people what they have read lately. Share what you've read.
Recommend good books to read (relevant to the person's interests).
Gift books for birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries. With e-books, it's easy, instant, can be scheduled, doesn't require a trip to the store or waiting in lines, doesn't involve delivery charges, and (with big retailers) returns and exchanges are easy. Many e-books can be read on an iPhone, tablet, laptop, or PC.
Attend a reading and bring your friends. If you're an author, give a reading and let your passion for reading show.
Hold a reading program for children at a school, day care, church, or a gathering with parents and children. (You may need to clear a background check to do this at a school.) A reading can also be videotaped and shown online (provided that you have permission to use any materials).
Join a reading or writing club. Encourage others to join, too. If you can't find one you like, start one featuring your favorite genre.
Donate books to a school or library—especially, books that are very likely to be used.
Hold a reading contest to encourage children to read. For example, there may be prizes awarded based on how many books a child reads in one school year.
Might be situational, but having a child read a book before they see the movie version is what my parents did. I wasn't allowed to see a movie based on a book unless I read it first.

Brexit delayed until Halloween
US markets managed to close modestly higher yesterday, though some of the gains were constrained by a slightly more hawkish interpretation of the latest Fed minutes to what many in the markets had been expecting. European markets also closed higher after ECB President Mario Draghi insisted that the ECB was prepared to use all instruments available to support the Eurozone economy.
Last nights Fed minutes appeared to offer up more questions than answers when they were released yesterday. Expectations of a dovish set of minutes were shown to be somewhat wide of the mark as several policymakers kept the door open to possibly raising rates later in the year, if the economy were to evolve in line with their expectations.
While this was a minority view with most participants expecting rates to remain unchanged for the rest of the year, they certainly didn't chime with the narrative markets took away from the dovish volte face that we saw in the aftermath of the March decision to keep rates on hold.
With the Fed trimming its growth forecast last month, there was no indication that US policymakers are concerned about anything other than a temporary soft patch, though they were careful to give themselves optionality in either direction when it came to future policy moves. This would suggest that Fed officials, despite the abrupt change in tone with respect to forward guidance, aren't especially concerned about a significant slowdown in US growth prospects.
This certainly isn't true of the European Central Bank, which left rates on hold and where ECB President Mario Draghi persisted with the fiction that rates would remain at current levels at least until through the end of 2019, while insisting that the ECB was ready to use "all instruments" at its disposal if the economy were to deteriorate further. The reality is that rates are likely to remain on hold well beyond 2019, and it wouldn't hurt the ECB to acknowledge that reality, given that markets are already largely pricing that in.
There appeared to be no discussion around the merits, or otherwise of trying to mitigate the effects of negative rates, along with little discussion of how the upcoming TLTRO program would be structured, ahead of its scheduled start in September.
Given the nature of the weakness in recent economic data this seems extraordinarily complacent, especially in light of Draghi's admission that economic risks remain tilted to the downside.
Last night's EU Council meeting saw EU leaders push out the UK's exit date until Halloween, the 31st October, which is much longer than the UK was looking for, but also shorter than most EU leaders were proposing. The fly in the ointment so to speak was France and French President Emmanuel Macron, who pushed back on the rest of EU leaders, by insisting that an extension until June was sufficient.
In a concession to the French, a review of progress in June was agreed to establish how much progress was being made, but in a sign that France was tiring of the melodrama surrounding the Brexit talks it was being reported that French President Macron wanted a UK departure before the European elections on the 22nd May, come what may.
In any case the resulting delay also means that the UK will probably have to take part on European elections in May, with the June deadline also being used by the EU to establish whether progress towards a deal is being made.
There was some talk that the EU might impose a number of conditions on any extension with French President Emmanuel Macron seeming to be the main protagonist behind the idea, though this doesn't appear to have happened.
While an understandable precaution, it remains highly questionable as to whether this would be legal under EU law, given that the UK would still be a fully paid up member of the European Union.
In any case Prime Minister May will now have to return to the UK and make the case to her disgruntled Brexiter MPs later today that the UK will now not leave on April 12th and will be in the EU for another six months. This is not likely to go down well, which could well increase internal party manoeuvres to replace her.
EURUSD – still have solid support at the 1.1180 area, with a break targeting the 1.1000 level. The current rebound could well see a run up to the 1 1340 area and 50-day MA. Upside likely to remain limited to the 200-day MA at 1.1460 if we move above the 50-day MA.
GBPUSD – the 200-day MA and 1.2960 area continues to act as solid support. Unlikely to move much beyond the 1.3170 area until we get a clearer political picture. Below 1.2960 opens up the 1.2800 area.
EURGBP – needs to push above the 0.8650 area to argue for a move towards the 0.8720 level. While below here the bias remains for a move back to the recent lows at 0.8500.
USDJPY – has continued to drift lower falling below the 111.20 level and potentially opening up further losses towards the 110.20 area, with interim support at the 110.70 level. We need to move back above 111.30 to argue for a return to last week's peaks.

Battery companies as secret winners of the trend towards electric vehicles
Insights, Technology, Trends
Is the good old combustion engine puttering towards its well-deserved retirement? In any case, electric vehicles are gaining ground. It is still unclear which automaker will secure pole position. However, battery manufacturers are likely to be among the hidden winners of this trend.
Gasoline and diesel problematic
China, the world's largest automobile market, wants to introduce a minimum quota for electric models from 2019. In Europe, for example, the UK and France are planning to ban combustion engines from 2040 onwards (for a selection of initiatives to promote electric mobility, see table). As the last year's International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt has shown, automobile manufacturers are gearing up for the post-combustion engine era and presenting studies or new "e-models" – probably also in order not to be seen (any more) as polluters. Volkswagen serves as an example of the rethink among auto manufacturers. The company, which for a long time was hardly enthusiastic about electric automobiles, wants to offer electric versions of all its conventional models.
Electromobility has yet to make a breakthrough
Weaning drivers off gasoline and diesel will not happen overnight, especially as electric models leave a lot to be desired regarding price, range and charging infrastructure. For this reason, vehicles powered exclusively by electric motors have not really won over customers – apart from the conspicuous luxury models of the Californian manufacturer Tesla. Nevertheless, demand for electric vehicles is growing rapidly. The number of new registrations has accelerated in recent years, achieving high double-digit growth rates.
The manufacturers' good commercial prospects might also be reflected in investors' portfolios.
Only slightly more than 200,000 vehicles with an electric motor were on the roads worldwide in 2012, but by 2017 this figure had risen to over three million. Although the share of total vehicles sold remains low, according to the latest data from the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association ACEA, less than 10% of new registrations in Europe in 2017, the potential seems to be all the greater. We expect e-vehicles to capture a double-digit market share in the medium term. This is in line with the forecasts of the International Energy Agency IEA.
Electric cars in the overtaking lane after a slow start

Batteries as energy storage in the garage
The battery alone currently accounts for just under a third of the purchase price of an electric vehicle. This is likely to change. Mary Barra, head of the largest U.S. automaker General Motors, recently announced that she expects the cost of one kilowatt-hour for the batteries of the flagship e-model Chevrolet Bolt to fall from the current 145 to about 100 U.S. dollars by 2021. This is significant for two reasons. On the one hand, buyers of electric vehicles will not have to dig so deeply into their pockets. On the other hand, automakers can increase their profit margins. In addition, it creates more of an incentive for them to invest more heavily in the development of electric vehicles.
High-performance lithium-ion batteries are getting cheaper and cheaper
Source: Statista, Vontobel
The trend towards cheaper batteries reflects the worldwide increase in production. While the quantity produced in 2014 was equivalent to 50 gigawatt hours (GWh), this figure is currently 125 GWh. If forecasts that electric models could account for around 40 percent of the total market in 2020 are accurate, however, 2,500 GWh would be necessary. This in turn would create an industry with a volume of 240 billion U.S. dollars. In our view, the battery industry offers interesting investment opportunities. Investors could also be "electrified" by this theme.

The frosts of a couple of weeks ago turned all but the hardiest of my summer flowers to a memory, and now it's the turn of the winter bloomers to take a star turn in VP Gardens.
The earliest of these is Clematis 'Freckles'. The guidance says she blooms from November through to February; mine's been throwing out the odd bloom or three since July. This isn't a rare occurrence; it happens here most years and I know Alan has had the same experience this year.
I can thank NAH for this year's plentiful blooms. This is a pruning group 1 clematis, so I tend to neglect her dreadfully. NAH in Drastic Gardener mode cut her down to the ground last year when the huge tangle of stems invaded next door's garage. He left her for dead, but she's made of sterner stuff and has grown back more strongly than before. It was worth sacrificing last year's winter display ('Freckles' flowers on old wood) for what's there now.
The guidance says growth is up to 4 metres; be prepared for much longer than that if you leave this clematis to her own devices like I've done. I've found stems popping up in all kinds of unexpected places in the garden. I've also found a few self layered plants - note to me: I must keep a much closer eye on her in future.
This clematis may look quite delicate with smaller leaves and thin, wiry stems... but remember, this is a winter flowering plant so it's a tough cookie. Having said that, a sheltered position is recommended as the plant has a hardiness rating of H4, so my neighbour's west facing garage wall is ideal. It's also much stronger than you think; when NAH cut her back I realised she'd been holding my enormous fig tree upright. It's now sprawled right across the patio instead.
I've started a renovation pruning of my fig, and the plan is eventually it'll form a fan across my neighbour's garage wall. This means there won't be room there for my clematis, so in the spring I'll take some cuttings ready for her new home further along the garden boundary. I hope the fence is to her liking.
I chose this clematis because it hails from Mallorca; a place of happy times in the past. It also provides nectar for bees foraging for food on warmer winter days at a time when there's not a lot else around. I love that Raymond Evison named her 'Freckles' when he introduced the plant in 1989, because his daughter Rebecca had plenty of them when she was a little girl.
She's definitely a star plant in my garden. What's starring in yours?
Garden Bloggers' Blooms Day is hosted by Carol at May Dreams Gardens.
How pretty. I love a vine covered wall. Sorry about the fig, hopefully you'll have it looking great in a season or two.
I am in love with your Freckles! And I think that it is so interesting that I have never seen this clematis in Spain in nearly 30 years, and here I see it for the first time on your blog. From Mallorca, you say? Incredible. While my climate in central Spain is not as benign as in Mallorca, I see from your RHS link that Freckles is hardy to -10 degrees, so it should do well here.
Now my next question is: where do I find one?! Can you imagine if I couldn't find a supplier here?
Welcome to Veg Plotting! Yes, 'Freckles' came from seed collected in Mallorca and then grown on at the Raymond Evison nursery on Guernsey - unfortunately they don't deliver outside the UK. If you have a good local nursery they should be able to advise how you might source one in Spain? Another option is to look for Clematis cirrhosa var. balearica, I think you can guess where this one came from! She's not so freckled as 'Freckles', but still lovely.
What a beauty VP especially so for shining at this time of year. I imagine that you didn't thank him at the time but well done to NAH for the drastic haircut.
