Q: Delete the 'Cleaning all the gems on your system is dangerous!' message on bundler install I would like to know if it's possible to remove the following message on bundler install commands:

Cleaning all the gems on your system is dangerous! If you're sure you
  want to remove every system gem not in this bundle, run bundle clean --force.

From what I understood, this message is supposed to be displayed bundler clean, so I don't understand why it would be here. Could it be that it is due to that time I used bundler install --clean?
Thank you in advance. Have a nice day.
P.S.: Please warn me if the question should be on another OverFlow website, or with other tags.

A: The warning is due to bundler trying to run bundle clean after each install or update.
bundler config clean false and bundler config --local clean false should be able to disable those attempts, leading to the suppression of the warning.
P.S.: I do not know if that could create problems, as it is not simply suppressing an useless warning, so I won't mark this answer as the selected answer for now, to avoid misleading people with the same problem.

A: The solution for me was to delete the .bundle/config which contained BUNDLE_CLEAN: "true".

Is Ford's Electric Mustang SUV a Game-Changing Patrol Vehicle Option?
March 16, 2022 • By David Griffith • Bookmark +
It was an announcement that made both the automotive and law enforcement media take notice. Ford was sending a police-marked version of the all-electric Mustang Mach-E to the Michigan State Police Vehicle Evaluations. It would be the first electric vehicle to be tested at the annual event.
Ford released that news on Sept. 17, just a week after the company had shown a police concept car over in the United Kingdom, complete with yellow and blue police markings. Some in the auto press believed the all-electric SUV was better suited to European police duty. Ford challenged that belief, releasing photos of a baby blue and black U.S. police concept Mach-E and taking the battery-powered Mustang for a run with the Michigan troopers.
Run is exactly what the Mustang Mach-E did. Under the command of Lt. Mike McCarthy, head of the MSP's precision driving unit, the electric SUV performed impressively at the Chelsea Proving Grounds.
McCarthy piloted the electric Mustang to 120 mph in just under three quarters of a mile. Its top speed of 124 mph was a few notches below the PI Utility Hybrid, but still very respectable. The Mach-E was also quick, reaching 0 to 60 mph in an average of 4.03 seconds and 0 to 100 mph in an average of 11.94 seconds. Those acceleration figures are better than Ford's current line of Police Interceptor Utility pursuit-rated SUVs. Braking was also impressive. MSP projected the Mach-E's stopping distance at 125 feet. That's better than all of Ford's pursuit-rated SUVs, according to MSP.

French rolling stock manufacturer Alstom has announced plans to introduce hydrogen-powered trains to the UK to support the government's plan to withdraw diesel locomotives by 2040.
The company is currently working on a project with Eversholt Rail to equip a fleet of Class 321 electric trains with hydrogen tanks and fuel cells to enable hydrogen-powered operations.
Hydrogen will be produced through sustainable electricity and electrolysis, where the fuel cells will produce electricity by combining hydrogen and oxygen, creating water as a waste product.
Subsequently, the electrical energy is stored in batteries and the train will run on electrical traction drive.
Under this process, only steam and condensed water are given off by the systems.
Alstom UK & Ireland managing director Nick Crossfield said: "Not only are hydrogen trains zero carbon, they are near-silent and emit no particulates, which means they offer substantial air quality and noise pollution benefits too.
"On cost, hydrogen trains can help to avoid the necessity for line electrification, which represents a significant investment for customers.
The company has already designed a hydrogen train, the Coradia iLint, which is currently being tested in Germany.
Crossfield added: "Less than 50% of the UK network is electrified, and much that isn't electrified is unlikely ever to be so.
Around one-third of all trains in UK are diesel units. They are required to be overhauled or replaced to fulfil the government plan to remove all diesel rail vehicles by 2040.

Residential rental market a potential legal minefield for landlords
Renting out residential property has always been considered a relatively easy source of income as well as a great way to get a foot in the property market, but this is no longer the simple exercise it used to be and has become a potential minefield for owners wanting to rent out property on their own.
Originally only governed by the Rental Housing Act, the property rental market has in recent years become an extremely complex legal field, says Lorraine Dellbridge, rentals manager for Lew Geffen Sotheby's International Realty in the southern suburbs, Noordhoek and False Bay.
The National Credit Amendment Act (NCAA), which came into effect in March is the latest in a string of new laws which have been promulgated in recent years, including Rental Housing Amendment Bill, Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act, the Protection of Personal Information Act and, of course, the Consumer Protection Act.
"Each of these plays an enormous role in the rental arena and landlords who are not familiar with them could find themselves losing money and tied up in lengthy legal battles," says Dellbridge.
"Not only are many of these new laws generally tipped in the tenant's favour, but landlords also need to understand that nowadays people are a lot more aware of their consumer rights in general."
Dellbridge says that although many of the regulations were initiated to do away with unfair practices such as landlords pocketing deposits for no reason, they have also limited landlords' access to information that can be vital in selecting a tenant.
The new National Credit Amendment Act stipulates that all adverse information recorded on a credit bureau must be removed once the debt has been settled, which can make it very difficult for a landlord to check a prospective tenants' rental payment track record.
"A compounding factor is that many cash-strapped South Africans are deeply in debt," says Lew Geffen, chairman of Lew Geffen Sotheby International Realty. "Just looking at a study like the Debtsafe data released recently shows that 57.8 percent of the population is categorised as 'delinquent' in their debt payment behaviour. With statistics like that landlords really can't afford to gamble with what is often their biggest investment.
"The days of casually letting property with a standard lease from a stationery store are over and, unless a landlord is well-versed in all the new laws and regulations, it's advisable to enlist the services of an experienced rental agent who will save a property owner a tremendous amount of frustration, time and in the long run – money."
Dellbridge says that vetting a new tenant includes a number of screening processes such as confirming stable employment, checking with previous landlords to establish a rental track record and doing a credit check. Reputable estate agencies have effective access to all this information as well as application forms that include the relevant clauses which allow prospective tenants to authorise the background checks as required by law.
However, Dellbridge warns that there is a vast difference between a selling agent and one who specialises in rental property and it is therefore essential to select a reputable agent who specialises in rentals.
"The best way to do this is by asking questions – and don't be afraid to do so as the potential risks associated with property rental are now considerable. Landlords need to ensure that they have covered all the bases before they rent out what is probably their most expensive asset."
Important questions to ask include:
Is the agent registered with the Estate Agency Affairs Board? If you're not sure, ask to see a copy of a valid fidelity fund certificate.
How long has the agent been letting property and how many homes are presently on the agency's books?
What is the agency's process for reviewing potential tenants and how do agents determine whether the tenant is suitable for a property?
Do the agents conduct police checks, or checks regarding their past rental history, current employment, and others?
Does the agent always insist on a deposit? This should be a non-negotiable aspect of any rental deal.
What services does the letting agency offer? This is particularly important for absentee landlords. Good letting agents should have a list of reputable service providers, including plumbers and general maintenance people.
Ask to see a copy of the agency's standard rental contract. This allows the landlord to fully understand both his and his tenant's obligations and also affords the opportunity to amend the contract if necessary.
Dellbridge says: "Property management is not just a question of collecting the rent; it is a comprehensive service which should be provided by trained property managers who have demonstrated longevity in the role which proves that this is a career for them.
"If as a landlord you're not convinced that you're fully conversant with the new laws and how they affect your rights and access to information as a property owner, don't even think about going it alone. It could end up costing you tens of thousands in legal bills, never mind potential damage to your property from an unsuitable tenant."

Finding perspective in the unexpected
A model of efficiency

Midyear graduates share lessons learned, both at Harvard and during time away
By Ben Aaronson Harvard Correspondent
Date December 3, 2018 December 5, 2018
When first-year students enter the gates of the Yard, most expect to walk out four years later as graduates. But, of course, life doesn't always go as expected. Plans change as unforeseen challenges and opportunities arise.
For many of the 117 students honored at Friday's Midyear Graduates Recognition Ceremony, unexpected circumstances meant taking off a semester or more from Harvard before returning to finish their studies, while others were graduating early due to advanced standing. All were joined by faculty, friends, and family for a ceremony and reception at the Student Organization Center at Hilles, which included remarks by Danoff Dean of Harvard College Rakesh Khurana and lecturer on organismic and evolutionary biology Andrew Berry.
Three of the graduates spoke with the Gazette about their Harvard journeys and what they learned from their time away from campus.
Hanaa Masalmeh
As a child in Portland, Ore., Hanaa Masalmeh would often search in her family's pantry for "normal" food instead of the eggplant pickles and other Syrian delicacies her immigrant parents kept stocked. Her desire to fit in was in constant tension with her parents' insistence that she learn Arabic and go to Islamic school every Sunday. But in time she came to embrace her cultural heritage and find great strength in her identity as a Syrian-American Muslim.
"I realized that, being visibly Muslim, my very presence is an unofficial ambassadorship. For better or worse, I'm influencing people's perceptions of Muslims and Arabs. That's a lot of pressure to deal with, but ultimately I learned how to turn that external pressure into internal motivation," she said.
At Harvard, Masalmeh took advantage of opportunities to learn about different cultures, both in her personal relationships and through her studies. She concentrated in anthropology and learned Hebrew, continuing an affinity for languages that began with Arabic and that grew to include Spanish, French, and German. She studied abroad in South Africa, Italy, Israel, and Turkey, among other countries.
This past year, Masalmeh put her Arabic and German to use when she spent a semester in Germany studying Syrian refugee integration there, which eventually became the topic of her senior thesis. "I wanted to see how these things worked for myself," she said. "I have a lot of family who escaped Syria and fled to Europe, and I felt that news coverage wasn't doing justice to their experiences."
Another highlight of her time at Harvard was stand-up comedy, a talent she discovered in high school and rekindled in college.
"I've never had to make up a story for stand-up because my life is full of crazy situations that are perfect for comedy," Masalmeh said. "Our society has conditioned us to think that being a minority is an inherent disadvantage, but I see my identity as an incredible advantage. It gives me a unique perspective and, more importantly, it gives me empathy for those who don't fit in. That's ultimately what makes good comedy — and a good life philosophy."
While she hopes to continue writing and performing comedy, Masalmeh is clear about her professional goals: attending law school and eventually working for the U.S. government, possibly in Middle Eastern and European relations.
Looking back on her time at Harvard, she considers her stay a period of tremendous personal growth. "Experience is nothing more than making mistakes and learning from them. It's like the Japanese proverb: If you fall down seven times, you stand up eight," Masalmeh said. "I pushed myself every second to be a better friend, a better scholar, and a better citizen of the world."
Carolina Brettler
For Carolina Brettler, the things she didn't do at Harvard ended up being among the most defining.
Eager to get involved in student life on campus, she attempted to join several organizations only to be rejected during the highly competitive application (or "comp") process. Hearing no, and hearing it often, was not easy.
"That was a huge learning experience for me, and in the process I ended up joining groups that I might not have thought of at first," she said.
Brettler ultimately found her niche as a member of the Crimson Key Society and a tutor for the public-speaking course "Expos 40." Her work as a peer speaking tutor led to another defining moment: giving the Ivy Oration at Class Day last spring, a speech she infused with both humor and wisdom about learning to cope with rejection.
But the experience that changed the trajectory of her time at Harvard came after her first year, when an illness forced her to spend 18 months away from campus. Searching for ways to keep her mind busy while home in New York City, she began taking film classes, watched hundreds of movies, wrote scripts, and filmed and edited what she could using only her phone and computer.
"When I got back to Harvard, I studied economics, which I absolutely love, but I also decided to explore my passion for film and directing — so in that sense it was a blessing in disguise," she said. "It also gave me a new appreciation for being at Harvard. I feel grateful in a way that I don't think would have been possible without having to step away from it."
Brettler will soon start a job in asset management and plans to continue pursuing film whenever she can. "It's something that I don't want to push aside because it balances out the way I think about things. And it also just makes me really happy."
Audria Amirian
Family is everything to Audria Amirian. Growing up in a tight-knit Armenian community in Glendale, Calif., she was surrounded by scores of aunts, uncles, and cousins who lived within a few minutes of her house.
Amirian's parents both emigrated from Iran. Her father fled to the U.S. around the time of the Iranian Revolution, but it was five more years before her mother could join him, only after establishing refugee status in Austria.
"I can't even wrap my head around everything they've been through," she said. "Thinking about where they've come from, it's meant a lot for me to have had the luck and privilege to come here."
Amirian struggled initially to adapt to her new home at Harvard, but she eventually found community through friendships formed at Thayer Hall and Mather House, and purpose through involvement in extracurricular activities. She learned Latin dance, joined Harvard Undergraduate Women in Business, helped revive the defunct Armenian Students' Association, and became chair of the Education Policy Group at the Institute of Politics, building on an interest that was sparked as a student member on her school district's board of education.
But Amirian had to put everything on hold during her senior fall, taking a leave because of health issues. While it wasn't easy to pause her life at Harvard, she found comfort in the support of her family and her Harvard community, particularly her House resident dean.
"My dad has always said it's your health, your education, and your family — in that order. That's how you should live your life, and that's how I've done it," she said.
Like Brettler, she is grateful for the time off, which helped crystallize what she wants to do with her life. "I figured out that you've got to do what you love, and for me that's economic development."
Amirian is applying for jobs in Los Angeles and hopes to work in local or county government, where she can help solve infrastructure problems, particularly as the city prepares to host the World Cup and the Olympics. While she's excited to begin the next chapter of her life, she's not ready to fully turn the page on Harvard.
"I don't think about it as being done," she said. "I want it to be woven throughout my life."

Moldova next in line to join ATA chain
News • Paris, 21/05/2010
The Republic of Moldova will become the 67th country to join the ATA Carnet system as of 1 July 2010. With a modest recovery predicted for the Moldova economy in 2010, the move will help facilitate trade and open new business opportunities with the country.
The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Moldova has been approved as the national guaranteeing and issuing organization.
"ATA Carnets are a useful tool to aid efforts to attract investment and identify new markets," said Peter Bishop, Chair of the WCF World ATA Carnet Council that monitors ATA operations. "Joining the system can help countries such as Moldova boost their export markets."
Managed jointly by WCF and the World Customs Organization, the ATA Carnet system permits the duty-free and tax-free temporary import of goods for up to one year. From commercial samples to goods for use at trade events, Carnets account for billions of US dollars in goods every year.
The World ATA Carnet Council works to expand the number of countries who are members of the ATA chain. Prior to Moldova, Montenegro was the last country to join in 2008. Mexico, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the United Arab Emirates are all expected to join in the near future.

These stipulate that personal protective equipment (PPE) should be supplied and used in the workplace wherever there are are risks to health and safety that cannot be eliminated or managed in any other way. The Regulations also require that PPE is: properly assessed to ensure its suitability; issued with full instructions on its safe use; stored and maintained properly; and used correctly by employees.
I can help by giving advice on the correct type of gloves, face masks, eye and ear defenders and relate these to the risks they are trying to protect employees from.

Deconstructing the Policing of Conservation Subdivision Design Standards
Continuing a conversation about the definition of conservation subdivisions, this article examines the inconsistent application of the term by policymakers. Moreover, the auto-dependent realities of rural development require more critical thinking.
March 19, 2014, 7am PDT | James LaGro, Jr.
Gigra
In a recent Planetizen post, Randall Arendt claims that a peer-reviewed research paper—published in the Journal of Planning Education and Research—is "seriously flawed" because it "conflates three entirely different kinds of subdivision design" (conservation design, clustering, and planned residential developments). He asserts that these three development types are "built at significantly different densities" and that "the majority of the 54 developments examined by the study fail to meet the minimum open space standard for conservation subdivisions contained in my publications."
While Mr. Arendt's consternation is understandable, policing the implementation of a concept as broad as "conservation subdivision design" is an exercise in futility.
Policy inconsistencies
Wisconsin's Waukesha County—the study area for Dr. Asli Göçmen's research—allows "conservation subdivisions" that do not adhere to Mr. Arendt's design standards or to the regional planning commission's design recommendations. This discrepancy is a research finding with sustainability implications. The Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC) is an advisory agency, and its land development recommendations are not consistently implemented at the local level. Consequently, the municipalities across the seven-county region take widely differing policy approaches to conservation subdivision design. In some areas of the Town of Waukesha, for example, the minimum open space requirement for conservation subdivisions is only 20 percent.[1]
Furthermore, clustering, planned residential development (PRD), and conservation subdivision design (CSD) are terms that could describe a single subdivision. There are no definitive design standards for clustering or PRDs, and even CSD policies vary considerably. SEWRPC's summary table of subdivision ordinance requirements in southeastern Wisconsin includes this telling footnote:
"Conservation subdivisions may also be referred to as cluster developments, cluster subdivisions, and open space subdivisions, depending on the community."
Even among the states that have adopted model CSD ordinances, conservation design standards vary. Not all model ordinances require, for example, that half of the development tract's buildable area be set aside as permanent conservation open space. Also, the minimum open space percentage of the total tract area (including primary conservation areas) is less than 50 percent in some model ordinances. Georgia and South Carolina's model ordinances set the minimum threshold at 30 percent and 40 percent, respectively.
Sustainability implications
Although rural open space conservation is essential, the world has markedly changed over the past 20 years. Population growth combined with climate change warrant a re-examination of low-density residential development (two or more acres per dwelling) in the rural periphery of metropolitan areas. While rural conservation subdivisions may perform better than large-lot conventional subdivisions on some environmental measures, these residential enclaves still raise ecological—as well as troubling social and economic—implications.
Many of the conservation subdivisions in southeastern Wisconsin are high-end examples of suburban sprawl, catering to affluent homeowners who commute to the region's more urbanized areas. This auto-dependent development type fares poorly on vehicle-miles traveled per household (a key sustainability indicator with air quality, public health, and climate implications). Other negative effects include the fragmentation of productive farmland—especially in areas with extensive prime agricultural soils. Scattered residential development also increases the costs per household of building and maintaining infrastructure (e.g., roads, utilities) and providing other public services (e.g., bussing to schools, police and fire protection).
Scientific research—scrutinizing the often-messy implementation of the conservation subdivision design concept—is necessary to gain an unbiased assessment of both its benefits and costs.

NAME OF PARTIES TO JOINT RESEARCH
REFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING
[0005] Research indicates millions of tons of wrapping paper waste each year are added to landfills in the United States. They have historically been used one time and discarded. The color dye and laminated surface of many paper wraps can prohibit recycling successfully. Fabric is an excellent alternative, including man-made or natural renewable resource materials. Wrapping with these usually requires the use of scissors and tape. Millions of tons of paper waste is created just during the Christmas holiday. Figuring out the correct measured amount and cutting the paper requires a certain amount of fine motor skills and can be difficult for some individuals, and requires a considerable amount of flat space. Traveling and attempting to wrap a gift in a vehicle is not easy. A person must carry scissors and tape or buy these items. Anytime one wraps with paper, cutting the paper on roll, or flat sheet, generally leaves a wasted segment unless the full width is needed, and this results in small wasted pieces if not needed. Once cut, the only way to add to the size is to re-cut and use more tape. Ribbon, bows, and tissue paper are generally also used one time, become torn, misshapen, or have a loss of adhesiveness, and are thrown away thus creating more waste. Bows are flattened during stacking and shipping. One prior design (It's a Wrap! U.S. Pat. No. 5,392,983) reflects a wrapping sheet with a fixed, attached ribbon and bow, resulting in a box type gift with predetermined bow placement, and which may require gluing by the user to secure the wrap. Another prior design reflects an invention creating a box-type container which contains ribbon slots with corresponding tabs on the bow which affix into the slots (Fonar, U.S. Pat. No. 4,726,509). This requires that the top decoration piece be used in order to secure it, thus necessitates the use of the top decoration in order to cover the holes. Stretch material fabric wraps or tubular embodiments have been designed and utilized which slide or encase over a gift by being pulled on and off, and may conform to the shape of the gift, but result in some measure of extra fabric on one end, or both ends. Childs, U.S. Pat. No. 7,926,702 utilizes drawstrings and constricting cuffs on ends to secure the wrapped item, and the design by Wrapeez, LLC, U.S. Pat. No. 9,174,783 results in a wrapping embodiment with two sleeves which meet and have elastic ends and fasteners to secure the item, and these do not generally result in a traditional wrapped appearance. Another version with a top opening and a closure plate, requires the user to pull the open end excess fabric up to the top and press a closure plate down around the excess, which secures it, but excess fabric extends up out of the top (Sardo, U.S. Pat. No. 8,931,242). Prior limited-stretch or non-stretch fabric wrap designs have resulted in models which would not allow for some adjustments in size to accommodate differences, but allowed for only very slight size differences, or contained excessive hook and loop strips for adjustment, (Yates, U.S. Pat. No. 5,407,125), reflecting an invention which utilizes multiple, fixed, aligned and perpendicular hook and loop strips on a fabric sheet, for extra sizing options, whether or not the extra sizing is needed. This can result in an unnecessary burden on the fabric, which may affect the shape of the fabric, particularly post-washing, and may be unnecessary when adjustment of size is not needed. Extensive use of mating hook and loop strips such as this may adhere to, or gather, excessive lint during the laundering process. Another prior version did not appear to mention stretchable fabric, and describes the use of sewn hook and loop fasteners which may restrict bow placement options (Selga, U.S. Pat. No. 5,004,144). The present invention utilizes a movable fabric band enabling many different bow positions. The need to adjust the width when wrapping a gift is not unusual, as generally, when a gift is put into a gift box, this can add a significant amount of size to the middle of the gift. Therefore, the girth is the section that often needs extra width. Prior removable hook and loop features involved fasteners which may be removed prior to washing, (Hagan, U.S. Pat. No. 5,904,289) but which then requires the user to reapply the fasteners which could be less convenient, and which has the bow fastened directly to the fabric wrap rather than a movable apparatus for increased options for bow placement. Reflected in another prior patent, adhesive may need to be added to tabs by the user (It's a Wrap! U.S. Pat. No. 5,392,983) which can be less convenient for the user. Some prior designs have also required the user to cut and apply the removable hook and loop fasteners. These have not allowed for the option of no fasteners with an alternate method for securement, as does this present invention, and other possible embodiments comprising the aforementioned fabric movable band. Further, in addition to versatility in sizing, we must address the need for versatility in occasions. Wrapping paper is frequently exclusively related to reason for giving, holiday, etc. Therefore there needs to be an efficient product to address occasion versatility. This invention and the alternative embodiments provide for this, as the wrap can be solid color and be paired with any theme-related fabric movable band, thereby creating less manufacturing and less paper wrap needed. Prior fabric designs indicate that they can be constructed of varying fabric designs individually, but fail to offer multi-themed use of a single wrap. The prior design by "It's a Wrap!" U.S. Pat. No. 5,392,983 included the use of fabric markers to be used to decorate a solid fabric in order to offer decorative versatility, however, the requirement for the user to draw on a solid wrap can be time consuming and possibly artistically limited. Therefore, the idea of fabric wrap has spawned some thought and designs, however, these have not been widely used, or ideal, and have not solved the multitude of limitations of paper wrap. Therefore the history of mass application and use of fabric wrap has been extremely limited due to the lack of a practical solution for the need for adjustability and versatility. There is also a need for a cost effective manner for providing this for the masses of people who wrap gifts, so that a real environmental difference can occur, and which will allow an individual to spend less money on paper wrap each year as they reuse fabric wrap annually. This invention addresses these issues.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
[0006] Embodiments of this invention comprise a pre-sized, pre-cut, flexible fabric sheet, fabric sizing-strip, fabric movable band, bow-loops, and fabric movable and loops. This allows the fabric wrapping and fabric components to be washed and dried, for repeated uses, while maintaining an attractive wrapped appearance which conceals the object within. Wrapping can be completed without the use of scissors and tape, as it is self-sufficient for closure which may involve the use of any plurality of multiple fasteners which may be secured to the fabric, or no fasteners. For persons with limited motor skills, this type of wrapping process may be easier than cutting and taping. Sizing versatility is addressed with a uniquely structured fabric sizing-strip allowing the user to quickly and easily resize the circumference of the wrap by adding to the width, but only when needed. The issue of occasion versatility is addressed with the fabric movable band, which is interchangeable, and which may be reversible, for varied holidays and occasions. A decorative fabric movable band is a continual, or finite and secured, fabric loop which adds decorative color, designs, or patterns, and may be used to secure the wrap. Use of fabric bow-loops and fabric movable band-loops, and/or pockets, are optional components. Any of the embodiments of this invention should not be construed or interpreted as exhaustive, or as the finite limited set of embodiments which may be generated within this invention. This invention is capable of other embodiments. The intention, and scope of this invention, should not be limited to the preferred and original embodiments contained herein. The spirit in which written descriptions and illustrations are provided is not intended to be limiting, but are provided for greater description and understanding of some of the possible embodiments.

Fastener size, positioning, and quantity vary.
[0017] FIG. 10 View of the fabric movable band which may be formed as a perpetual ribbon or strip, adjustable loop, or of specific dimension, and may contain a single fastener, no fastener, or a plurality of fastener(s) or band-loop(s) (Ref. 6) which allows fabric bow-loops, or other decorative pieces, to be attached, which may create or attach colorful bows, of varied shape, design, or dimensions, and may contain an optional card pocket of varying sizes (FIG. 14, Ref. 9) and dimension. This fabric band embodiment may consist of multiple widths, lengths, and dimensions, may be lined or unlined, and may be flat or constricted (FIG. 14, Ref. 8) to result in a gathered, wavy dimension. Illustrations are to aid in the description but is not limiting in scope.
[0018] FIG. 11 View of the fabric movable band on the fabric wrapping sheet which has been wrapped on a gift. After the gift has been wrapped with the fabric wrapping sheet, with no fasteners in this view, (thus no visible fastener stitching lines), the optional movable band which may be of multiple shapes, designs, and/or dimensions, can be slid onto the outside which can cover the sizing-strip (if used) and secure the end and middle edges, and which also allows the user to attach a bow to the fabric movable band by means of clip, loop, tie, mating male and female fasteners, clip, snap, etc. The fabric movable band can be slid back and forth in a side-to-side, or top/bottom direction allowing the bow-loop, pinched/constricted section, etc., of the fabric movable band, to be positioned in multiple positions such as but not limited to closer to the top, side, or any corner, if desired.
[0019] FIG. 12 Top and end view of fabric movable band (Ref. 8) which is on the fabric wrapping sheet as if wrapped around a gift box. Fabric bow-loops on the fabric movable band in this view, (Ref. 7) may be attached in, on, under, or through the fabric band-loop (Ref. 6) on the fabric movable band, directly to the fabric movable band, or directly to the fabric wrapping sheet and may be looped, inserted, tied, overlapped, sewn, fabricated, etc., or otherwise fastened, and which may comprise varying shapes/colors/sizes allowing the user to attach matching, complimentary, or contrasting fabric bows or bow-loops as alternate movable accentuations, which can be customized to the fabric colors as desired, and be reused.
[0020] FIG. 13 View of a single bow-loop which may be perpetual or finite and fastened, or adjustable.
[0021] FIG. 14 Top and end view of fabric wrapping sheet (Ref. 1) embodiment, as if wrapped around a gift box, with no fasteners (thus no visible fastener stitching lines), with pinched/constricted fabric movable band (Ref. 8), with optional pocket (Ref. 9).
[0022] FIG. 15 Bottom view of an embodiment, appearing as wrapped around a box, with a flat fabric movable band in the center position.
[0023] FIG. 16 Bottom view of an embodiment with ends which reach the bottom (appearing as wrapped around a box) and have one or more fasteners (Ref. 2) of the aforementioned varieties.
[0024] FIG. 17 An embodiment of the fabric wrapping sheet with the sizing-strip (Ref. 8) which can be tucked under one edge of the fabric wrap when not needed, or pulled out when needed, but which may stay attached and hidden on the underside of the fabric wrapping sheet by use of stitching or any of the aforementioned fasteners. If stitched, note that the slightly visible stitching line, (Ref. 10), shows that it is attached on the inner side of the fabric wrapping sheet, and will not interfere with the using the edge fasteners on the fabric wrapping sheet (Ref. 3). If the sizing-strip, (Ref. 8), is not needed, it can remain tucked and hidden inside under the fabric wrapping sheet.
[0025] FIG. 18 An alternative embodiment of the fabric wrapping sheet as viewed from the top, and the inner side (side of the fabric which would be concealed after wrapping). Notice the aligned fasteners near the mid-area of the fabric wrapping sheet which could overlap and secure when no extra width between them (Ref. 11). The resulting extra fabric on the outer side could be covered with a fabric movable band. When an extra width of fabric is needed, these fasteners (Ref. 3 in the middle) are not fastened and the resulting flat fabric wrapping sheet is wider when unfastened, than when it is fastened by the middle fasteners (Ref. 3 in the middle).
[0026] FIG. 19 An edge view of the fabric wrapping sheet, as relates to FIG. 18, as the two fastener parts (Ref. 3 in the middle of FIG. 18) are brought together to be secured.
[0027] FIG. 20 View of fabric movable band as it is utilized to create a band-loop. Fabric movable band (Ref. 8) is folded, and then stitched across both layers once the two sides are brought together at the base, see stitching lines. (Ref. 12)
[0028] FIG. 21 View of an alternate method to form the band-loop by simply folding the fabric movable strip and stitching across both layers (Ref.)
[0029] FIG. 22 View of finished band-loop on fabric movable band. Notice stitching lines on side of flattened loop (Ref. 13), allowing the ends to remain open (Ref. 14).
[0030] FIG. 23 View of an embodiment with a bow formed with bow-loops, as it would appear wrapped around a gift box.
[0031] FIG. 24 View of a preferred embodiment with a pinched fabric movable band, as it would appear wrapped around a gift box.
[0032] Embodiments comprise multiple sizes of fabric wrapping sheets that may include traditional mass produced gift box sizes including but not limited to 15''.times.9.5''.times.2'', 17''.times.11''.times.2.5'', 11''.times.7''.times.1.5'', 19''.times.12''.times.3'', 24''.times.14''.times.4'', which are commonly referred to as shirt, sweater, glove, robe, coat, boxes, etc., and which generally have some slight variation in size dependent upon box manufacturer, etc.
[0033] The flat fabric wrapping sheet embodiment (FIGS. 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9,11, 12), sizing-strip (FIG. 3 Ref. 4, FIG. 4, and FIG. 17, Ref. 8) and fabric movable band (FIG. 10, FIG. 11 Ref. 8, FIG. 12 Ref. 8, FIG. 14, Ref. 8, FIG. 15 Ref. 8, FIG. 17 Ref. 8), are pre-cut and sized to fit varying dimensions and comprise any number of a plurality of securements/fasteners which may or may not include, but are not limited to, male/female mating fasteners, hook and loop, stitching, snaps, hook and eye, buttons, ties, magnets, adhesives, zippers, elastic, stretchable or elasticized fabric, or other securement types, etc. for closure, or contain no fasteners. A fabric movable band fitting corresponding sizes, is a solid/perpetual, adjustable, or predetermined dimension, and may comprise a single, or a plurality of, aforementioned fasteners, or no fasteners. The fabric movable band can also act as the securement element when no fasteners are used on the wrap, as it will hold the ends and middle edges secure when it is encircled around the gift. The fabric band loop (FIG. 10, Ref. 6, FIG. 11 Ref. 6, FIG. 12 Ref. 6), and fabric bow-loops (FIG. 12 Ref. 7, FIG. 13) are varying sizes, dimensions, colors, patterns, etc., to allow dimensional, themed, and/or any-occasion versatility, with varying thickness, texture, and depth, to allow decorative appearance of bows and varying ornate decorations, and may contain any of the aforementioned fasteners, but which are not intended to limit the scope of possible fasteners appropriate for the possible alternative embodiments.
[0034] An embodiment of the fabric wrapping sheet, has sizing versatility by utilizing an optional reusable, sizing-strip. The user can adjust the width each time it is used, if desired, depending upon the need based on the girth of the object being wrapped. The fabric sizing-strip described and illustrated is a fabric strip which may be of varying dimensions which corresponds to the fabric wrap. When placed between the two meeting edges of the fabric wrap, (FIG. 3, Ref. 4, and FIG. 4), or when pulled out from the inner/under side of the fabric wrapping sheet (FIG. 17, Ref. 8) as if it was pulled out from where it had been tucked under one side, the fabric sizing-strip adds a measure of width. When no additional width is needed, the fabric sizing-strip is not required, thus not adding unnecessary fabric when it is not needed.
[0035] The process of wrapping with the embodiments which may contain aligned secured fasteners, allows the process to be completed in a significantly faster time-frame than traditional wrapping, due to the elimination of measuring, cutting, taping, and the need for a large flat space, as no tools are required.
[0036] The embodiments in this invention's wrapping process produces ends which array cover the ends of the item being wrapped, but not reach to wrap around to the bottom (FIG. 1), or may cover the end and partially cover the bottom of the gift (FIG. 16), thereby creating an even edge, or a covered end, resulting in a relatively traditional appearance of a wrapped gift. Any of the embodiments of this invention can utilize diverse fabric types which may include stretchable or non-stretchable fabrics, man-made fabrics, as well as renewable resources, such as cotton (which may be more beneficial to the environment). Multiple possible embodiments included in this invention's fabric composition, allows multiple types of cleaning and/or washing, and/or drying, which may include machine washing, hand-washing, line-drying, and/or tumble drying.
[0037] Uniquely, the embodiments of this invention offer multi-theme versatility for each individual wrap. Any of the embodiments of this invention provide the ability to utilize a wrap, which is compatible with a multitude of decorative fabric movable bands, enabling a fabric wrapping sheet to be reusable for different themes/occasions, as it is paired with a different fabric movable bands. The bow-loops can be mixed, matched, and coordinated by multiple attributes such as color, design, size, etc., which allows the bow to be constructed for each use, based on color scheme, and design desired, which adds occasion and appearance versatility of the bow. The reusable nature of the embodiments requires less fabric to create a themed appearance, which further benefits the environment as less raw materials are used. For example, the same green fabric wrap used for a holiday gift, (solid green fabric wrap for with Christmas holiday print on fabric movable band), could also be used for a birthday, by using the same solid green wrap but swapping an alternate, or reversible, fabric movable band which has a pattern and color(s) appropriate for use with the green fabric wrapping sheet as a birthday gift.
[0038] How to Make the Embodiment Components:
[0039] The fabric wrap sheet is cut to the desired dimensions based on object to be wrapped. If a lining is desired, equivalent dimensions should be cut from a compatible material and sewn around all edges with outer/decorative sides together, leaving a small opening to pull the fabric through after stitching. The opening will then need to be stitched closed.
[0040] Preferred fasteners can be added at intervals along the edges which can align for closure, or, no fastener use is also an option.
[0041] If creating an attached fabric sizing-strip is utilized, the fabric sizing-strip (FIG. 17, Ref. 8) is a length corresponding to the dimension of the fabric wrapping sheet, and is attached on the inner side of the fabric wrapping sheet, next to the fasteners (if any), thus enabling the sizing-strip to be tucked, or folded under to be hidden, while leaving an edge fastener on the fabric wrapping sheet available for use (FIG. 17, Ref. 3).
[0042] If creating the fabric wrap comprising the double parallel fasteners on the inner side as a sizing mechanism (FIG. 18, Ref. 3), align fasteners directly across from each other at a distance desired for adding a measure of extra fabric, which will be available as potential extra, or narrowing, width (FIG. 18, FIG. 19).
[0043] If creating a sizing-strip as a separate strip (FIG. 3 Ref. 4, and FIG. 4) it should be cut to a length corresponding to the length/width of the fabric wrapping sheet. Preferred fasteners can be added at desired intervals to align with the fasteners on the edges of the fabric wrapping sheet, which will provide securement, or no fasteners is an option, and fabric sizing-strip can be simply tucked under each edge of the fabric wrapping sheet.
[0044] If an embodiment of the fabric wrapping sheet comprises a reversible lining, one side of the fabric wrapping sheet may have fasteners and the reversed side may have no fasteners, or both sides may be the same with or without fasteners. When no fasteners are used on either side of the fabric wrapping sheet, or if one side has no fasteners and this is the desired side to be used as the outside of the wrapped gift, the fabric movable band may be used to secure the fabric wrapping sheet.
[0045] The fabric movable band is a fabric band of desired length and width to encircle the item being wrapped, vertically (FIG. 15, Ref. 8 and FIG. 14, Ref. 8),or horizontally. Once the length is determined, if a lining is desired, cut another equal size from compatible fabric and sew around edges with right/outer/decorative sides together, leaving a small opening to turn it right side-out. Finish closing the small opening. If one layer of fabric is preferred, edges may be finished in a preferred manner such as edge-finishing, surging, etc. Ends may be overlapped, tucked inside one another (if two layers were used), sewn, or otherwise fastened together, to create the finished fabric movable band. Slide fabric movable band on the gift or wrap around it and then fasten as desired.
[0046] If creating a fabric movable band with band-loop (FIG. 11, Ref. 6), cut extra length and before closing ends, push two areas together in the approximate middle of the fabric strips, to cause a measure of fabric to rise up (FIG. 20, Ref.), and then stitch as the base to maintain/secure the loop. An alternative method for creating the band-loop is to fold the fabric movable band (FIG. 21) and then stitch across to maintain/secure the loop (FIG. 21, Ref.) It can remain as it is, or can then be flattened and stitched next to closed edges to form an opening through which, or to which, bow-loops can be inserted or otherwise secured. If creating the pinched fabric movable band (FIG. 14, Reg. 8), bring together the sides of the fabric movable band to create folds, of fabric. When met in the middle, fasten by preferred means such as stitching vertically, horizontally, diagonally, etc.
[0047] Embodiments of the fabric movable band are able to be slid up and down, or side-to-side which allows the decorative fabric movable band to be centered or closer to one edge or another, top or bottom. If the fabric bow embodiment is attached to the fabric movable band, this enables the user to ensure the bow is positioned as desired such as closer to the top, in the center, or near a corner, etc.
[0048] The fabric bow-loops (FIG. 12, Ref. 7 and FIG. 13) and the fabric movable band-loop (FIG. 11, Ref. 6, and FIGS. 21 and 22) may be formed of strips of desired widths and lengths cut and sewn or otherwise fastened right/outer/decorative sides together around edges leaving a small opening. Turn inside-out and close small opening. It can also be formed with a single layer of fabric which does not require fastening two layers together. The loop can be formed by stitching across a section of the strip near a fold (FIGS. 20, 21), and is used as results after stitching, or can then be laid flat to press down on the loop to flatten loop, and then stitch next to the outer closed edges of the flattened loop (FIG. 22, Ref) to secure it, yet maintain openings on both ends through which bow-loops and desired decorative components can be added. Multiple or single bow-loop(s) (FIG. 12, Ref. 7 and FIG. 13), or other preferred decorations, are inserted through the band-loop on the fabric movable band (FIG. 11 Ref. 6, and FIG. 12 Ref. 6).
[0049] How to Use the Embodiments:
[0050] The fabric wrapping sheet, which may contain fasteners, is placed right/outer/decorative side down (FIGS. 6, 8). The item or box to be wrapped is placed in the middle of the fabric wrapping sheet on the inner/wrong-side which is placed up and visible during wrapping (FIGS. 6, 8) The side of the fabric wrapping sheet which the user wants to be visible as the outside/right/decorative side of finished wrapped gift is placed downward, and not visible during this first placement of item to be wrapped (FIG. 6 or 8). The edges of the fabric wrapping sheet are brought to the center of the object which encases the object. If no fabric sizing-strip is needed, the fasteners (if used) on the fabric wrapping sheet, are in direct alignment for fastening and results in one edge overlapping the other as fasteners meet and are secured (FIG. 2). If separate fabric sizing-strip (FIG. 3, Ref. 4, and FIG. 4) is used, it is placed in the center between the two sides of the wrapping sheet edges (FIG. 3, Ref. 4) as this view contains fasteners which align parallel with fabric sizing-strip edges and both edges of the fabric wrapping sheet may be fastened to the fabric sizing-strip, creating an extra width of fabric (FIG. 3, Ref. 4). If the fabric wrapping sheet, with attached sizing-strip is used (FIG. 17), pull out hidden/tucked fabric sizing-strip to add width, if needed. If fabric wrapping sheet with middle-fasteners is used for sizing (FIG. 18), either fasten or unfasten middle fasteners (FIG. 18, Ref. 3), depending upon size needed. If no fasteners are used during the making of an embodiment, a simple overlap of sides and ends can be performed. Ends are secured by folding the sides of the ends inward, then the top and bottom edges pressed downward and ward upward, fasteners (if used) can be aligned and fastened (FIG. 5). If no fasteners were used, or if when reversible embodiment is created, one side comprised fasteners, and the reversible side did not, the fabric movable band may be used to hold the ends and sides in place.
[0051] The embodiment of the fabric wrapping apparatus has alternative variations, and has been described in considerable detail, with reference to certain possible embodiments, however, other embodiments are possible. Therefore the scope of the claims and specifications should not be limited to the embodiments reflected.
[0052] The preferred embodiment in FIG. 24 is viewed as if wrapped around a box.


I have been reading a bit about the recession in America. Crazy to see how many people are losing jobs and it has been a weird dynamic observing this and being a missionary depending on people having jobs to support us here in Africa. I was speaking with a friend over here and they were saying that many non-profit organizations are having to shut their doors because the funding is drying up because of the recession. It is sobering to see how many ministries and health organizations are dependent upon American jobs.
It is also interesting to think about the recession as I drive around and encounter Zambians, also trying to make a living. I never appreciated infrastructure as I did when I moved to Zambia and began to try and make sense of it all.
This first picture shows how every day pickup trucks can become moving companies. The big bags are full of clothes and are donated for free from places like the U.S. and then are sold to different communities. Last year I saw a Chicago Bears Super Bowl Champion shirt when they lost to the Colts three years ago. All these shirts get shipped to other places. I am still looking for a Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl Champion:) On a side note, it seems like a great thing to donate clothes, but from what I have heard, these donations have actually crippled and shut down textile companies because they can't compete with these free clothes. So, hundreds of people don't have a job because we (developed countries) have killed these companies with our kindness. Crazy, huh?
This next picture is a typical market selling used clothing, stuffed animals and just about anything else they get to buy.
The next picture is a store called Daniels Meat Cave:) I, you know, just think that is a pretty funny name for a business. I am not sure what kind of meat is found in a cave, but I am pretty sure I don't want it.
On this next pic, you can see a bunch of rubber gloves on pipes. This is the universal sign for Plumber. You pull over and then a plumber will appear from somewhere and you take him to your house and he, well, plumbs.
This next 2 pics are something you see a lot of. A man pushing a wheelbarrow filled with something, anything. Wood, barrels, groceries... Just about anything. In town, you see the guys pushing these wheelbarrows and the muscles are literally ripping through their shirts, sweat burrowing down... It is impressive... They make maybe $2-3 dollars a day for 12 hours of brutal labor.
This next pic is a police station, but if you look closely, you will see a tomato stand on the veranda of the police post. Everywhere and anywhere, little stands provide income for people.
The next pic is a bad shot while driving, but you get the gist of it. A stack of 15 or so egg cartons on the back of a bike of dirt, bumpy road..
This pic shows a man carrying a barrel of wood.
And I saved the best (and most brutal) for last... These people in this picture pay $1 a month to be able to dig rocks out of the field beyond, wheelbarrow them in to the road and then spend all day breaking up big rocks in to gravel size rocks. These little shacks are their only protection from the hot sun... There are literally whole families, breaking up rocks, and selling them on the side of the road.
It is indeed sobering how the third world survives and thrives in such difficult circumstances.

A: hi please check below code how to subscribe node and how we can get payload message, whenever somebody subscribed user sending something.Moreover taking overview from xmpp official site from here.
LeafNode XMPP_PUB_SUB_LEAF;
SimplePayload item = null;
LeafNode node;

class ItemEventCoordinator implements ItemEventListener {
    @Override
    public void handlePublishedItems(ItemPublishEvent items) {

        Log.e("tag", "ItemPublishEvent ::" + items.getItems());

    }
}

PubSubManager mgr = new PubSubManager(XMPP.getInstance()
                    .getConnection(acitiviy));
//  ConfigureForm form = new ConfigureForm(FormType.submit);
//  form.setAccessModel(AccessModel.open);
//  form.setDeliverPayloads(true);
//  form.setNotifyRetract(true);
//  form.setPersistentItems(true);
//  form.setPublishModel(PublishModel.open);
try {
//  LeafNode leaf = (LeafNode) mgr
//  .createNode("ABC", form);
LeafNode leaf = (LeafNode) mgr.getNode("ABC");
leaf.addItemEventListener(new ItemEventCoordinator());
//leaf.getSubscriptionOptions(XMPP.getInstance().getConnection(acitiviy)
// .getUser());

//leaf.unsubscribe(XMPP.getInstance().getConnection(acitiviy)
//.getUser());

leaf.subscribe(XMPP.getInstance().getConnection(acitiviy)
                        .getUser());

leaf.send(new PayloadItem(XMPP.getInstance().getConnection(acitiviy)
                        .getUser(),
                        new SimplePayload("Online", "stage:pubsub:simple",
                                "<book xmlns='pubsub:test:book'>   <title>Online</title></book>")));

for (int i = 0; i < leaf.getAffiliations().size(); i++) {

    Log.d("tag", "getAffiliations 111::"
                            + leaf.getAffiliations().get(i)
                                    .getElementName());

}

for (int i = 0; i < leaf.getSubscriptions().size(); i++) {

                    // Log.e("tag", "getSubscriptions 111::"
                    // + leaf.getSubscriptions().get(i).getJid());

}

try {
 List<Subscription> listSubs = mgr.getSubscriptions();
                    for (int i = 0; i < listSubs.size(); i++) {

// Log.e("tag", "Subscription ::"
// + listSubs.get(i).getJid());

}
} catch (XMPPException e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}

Thanks hope this will help you understand pubsub.

A: i found the solution, i have to post a stream like this:
<iq type='set'
    from='hamlet@denmark.lit/elsinore'
    to='pubsub.shakespeare.lit'
    id='ent2'>
  <pubsub xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#owner'>
    <affiliations node='princely_musings'>
      <affiliation jid='bard@shakespeare.lit' affiliation='publisher'/>
    </affiliations>
  </pubsub>
</iq>

Clarksons: Shipping Market Heating Up?
Increased activity in a number of core areas in 2017 has seen the shipping market temperature rise a little, according to Clarksons Research.
The shipping services provider's ClarkSea Index, which measures the performance of key volume market sectors, averaged USD 11,816/day since the start of the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to USD 23,667/day between the start of 2000 and the end of the third quarter of 2008.
Aside from earnings, investor appetite for vessel acquisition often added "heat" to the market in the form of investment in newbuild or secondhand tonnage, even at times when earnings have remained challenged.
The quarterly Shipping Heat Index, which reflects not only vessel earnings but also investment activity, shows that things, though still chilly, have been warming up a little.
In 2016 the quarterly index averaged 37.4. It surged by 32% in 2017, averaging at 49.4, and in the fourth quarter it stands at 46.1, up 25% year-on-year.
One factor behind this has been that earnings have started to improve this year. The ClarkSea Index has averaged USD 10,718/day, up 14% on its average level in 2016.
Meanwhile, the investment side has seen an even more positive, if still mixed, picture. Contracting, although more than 40% up on full year 2016 in value terms, remained limited at USD 53 billion in the first eleven months of 2017.
S&P investment meanwhile has seen an active year. Around USD 19 billion so far is an improvement of nearly 55% on 2016, reflecting that, albeit with many distressed assets out there, investors perhaps harbour warmer feelings towards the markets.
The shipping markets still "look like a chilly environment," Clarksons said. Although earnings alone suggest a slight thawing in conditions, a wider view of the temperature of the shipping markets points towards a greater degree of heat, with S&P investors in particular helping to bring back some much-needed warmth.

US STOCKS-S&P 500, Dow surge over 1% on boost from financials, Boeing
The Dow and the S&P 500 rebounded on Thursday, boosted by financial shares and Boeing in a week so far marked by wild swings on rising angst about the spread of the new Omicron coronavirus variant globally. Boeing Co jumped 5.7% after China's aviation authority issued an airworthiness directive on the 737 MAX that will help pave the way for the jet's return to service in China.

The Dow and the S&P 500 rebounded on Thursday, boosted by financial shares and Boeing in a week so far marked by wild swings on rising angst about the spread of the new Omicron coronavirus variant globally.
Boeing Co jumped 5.7% after China's aviation authority issued an airworthiness directive on the 737 MAX that will help pave the way for the jet's return to service in China. Kroger Co surged 12.4% to top the S&P 500 after the retailer raised its full-year sales and profit forecasts, boosted by sustained demand for groceries.
Payments processors Visa Inc, Mastercard Inc and American Express Co added between 4.1% and 4.9%. All of the 11 major S&P sectors advanced, with eight of them surging more than 1% each. Financials led the pack, rising 3.1%.
"Today is a relief rally in markets, but the virus and the Fed's hawkishness - are going to weigh on the market over the next couple of weeks as markets digest those," said Joe Saluzzi, co-manager of trading at Themis Trading in Chatham, New Jersey. "The trajectory into the year-end for U.S. stocks remains choppy. We're up over 20% on the S&P, and a lot of people have nice gains, so I wouldn't be surprised if they try and lock some of those in prior to year-end."
Much remains unknown about Omicron, which was first detected in South Africa last month and has been spotted in at least two dozen countries. This uncertainty, coupled with the Federal Reserve shifting its stance away from 'transitory' nature of inflation, has led investors scramble for bargains after every drawdown this week. A second U.S Omicron case was identified in Minnesota on Thursday.
Stellar earnings reports and strong economic growth have powered Wall Street to a series of record highs in November, with the S&P 500 climbing 21.4% so far this year. A Reuters poll of equity analysts said a correction was likely in the next six months, with the benchmark expected to finish at 4,910 by the end of 2022.
At 12:20 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 660.49 points, or 1.94%, at 34,682.53, the S&P 500 was up 71.00 points, or 1.57%, at 4,584.04, and the Nasdaq Composite was up 132.96 points, or 0.87%, at 15,387.02. Still, the three indexes are tracking weekly losses, with the Dow on pace for its fourth straight fall. The CBOE volatility index, also known as Wall Street's fear gauge, was last trading at 27.30 points, a day after hitting its highest level since February. Apple Inc fell 1.5% after a Bloomberg report about slowing demand for the company's iPhone 13.
Travel and leisure stocks bounced back, with the S&P 1500 Airlines and the S&P 1500 Hotels, Restaurant and Leisure indexes rising 6.1% and 3.4%, respectively. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 2.47-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by a 1.43-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.
The S&P index recorded three new 52-week highs and 12 new lows, while the Nasdaq recorded eight new highs and 529 new lows.

Satellites are the best available measuring instruments to detect man-made pollution worldwide. Atmospheric scientist Pieternel Levelt initiated OMI and TROPOMI, two of the most prestigious measuring instruments for the detailed mapping of harmful pollutants in the atmosphere. TROPOMI, the latest of the two, is capable of identifying and studying sources of pollution with even greater precision. The recently launched satellite will also be monitoring the main greenhouse gas emissions.
Both satellite instruments are orbiting at a distance of hundreds of kilometres from the earth and play a leading role in monitoring various pollutants which are affecting air quality and climate. OMI, TROPOMI's precursor, has been active since 2004 and is still producing important data. 'OMI boasts the longest measurement series for nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere. After 13 years it is still in very good condition, which is rare for a satellite instrument,' Levelt says.
TROPOMI, which was launched on October 13, is different from OMI in a number of important ways. The instrument's resolution is ten times greater – and this opens new doors for scientists. Levelt: 'TROPOMI has a spatial resolution of 3.5 by 7 kilometres, which makes it possible to identify different sources of air pollution. In a city like Rotterdam, for example, we can distinguish between the emissions from the port area and those produced by the city centre. In that context it will be interesting to see whether or not measures to combat pollution are making a difference. The resolution is powerful enough to monitor a plume of smoke from the larger industrial areas in time, which will give us an idea of how such plumes, resulting from industry or forest fires, develop.
The TROPOMI project was commissioned by the Netherlands Space Office (NSO) and is financed by the ministries of Economic Affairs, Infrastructure and Environment and Education, Culture and Science, as well as the European Space Agency (ESA).
The TROPOMI instrument was designed and built on the instruction of the Dutch government and the European Space Agency (ESA). The principal investigator is provided by weather bureau KNMI while the co-principal investigator is provided by SRON. Airbus Defence and Space Nederland is the main contractor for TROPOMI. TNO is responsible for the optomechanical design. The development of TROPOMI data products is a joint project partnered by institutes from The Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain and Finland.
