The Government Still Doesn't Want You to Know What Caused the Financial Crisis

In the aftermath of the 2008 financial meltdown, the US government launched a vast investigation, but it still doesn't want you to know the details of what it found.
In January 2011, the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC) created by Congress put out its final report. But it only released a portion of all the source documents it scoured, so last year the government accountability group Cause of Action filed a lawsuit seeking the release of those documents, including emails, memoranda, and draft reports. Last week, the DC district court announced it was dismissing the case. But it's not over yet: COA vowed on Tuesday that it will appeal the decision. In a statement, the group said the judge's ruling that the documents were not subject to the Freedom of Information Act was "a misapplication of the law," and said that "COA will continue to fight to shed light on the workings of our government."
The FCIC was created in 2009 and given an $8 million budget and a lot of power to subpoena witnesses and documents, and give whistleblower protections to those who would come forward with information. The commission was also plagued by partisan division. Its final report in 2011 faulted failures in financial regulation, excessive borrowing, a lack of transparency, and risky investments, among other causes—but Republicans on the committee put out their own conflicting report. Meanwhile, the commission said it could not release all related documents but vowed that they "will eventually be made public through the National Archives and Records Administration." (Which has yet to happen.)
As Jay Rosen, a journalism professor at New York University, told my colleague Nick Baumann at the time:
The [final] report, as I understand it, says [the financial crisis] was a preventable thing and preventable by lots of different measures. The Republican dissent is that this was caused by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. That's one of those disputes where it's not just two interpretations of common facts diverging from one another. Those are two different narratives coming out of the same commission, which lead in two different policy directions and really tell two different stories.
There are powerful incentives in certain institutions to just leave it at that. The most obvious one is the "he said/she said" journalism, where you say, "This is what the commission Republicans said, this is what the Democrats said, and really—who can tell." The release of documents provides a way for people to provide a check on that tendency.
As Baumann reported, FCIC chairman Phil Angelides worried at the time that "there's going to be a very conscious, deliberate effort to rewrite [the] history [of the crisis], to wave this away like it was a bump in the road." Keeping the primary source documents hidden from the public makes that easier, of course.
COA suggested that another financial meltdown could loom if the public can't hold the government accountable for exactly what happened in the lead up to the 2008 crisis. "The President has signed into law regulations, like [the] Dodd-Frank [financial reform bill], without the American people fully understanding what caused our economic meltdown or what went into the creation of the FCIC's report," the group said, adding that it's not even clear if the taxpayer-funded FCIC conducted a full investigation.
As Michael Perino, a law professor at St. John's University in New York who has written about the investigation of the causes of the Great Depression, told Baumann in 2011: "Opening up all those materials would allow independent investigators to pore through them and reach their own conclusions."

Q: How to enable exFAT for Ubuntu 20.04 Today I installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 20.04 (GNU/Linux 5.4.0-1008-raspi aarch64) on my Raspberry PI, and I know that exFAT should be supported by the 5.4 kernel, but whenever I try to mount an external drive, I get an error
$ sudo mount -t exfat /etc/sda1 /media/wd
mount: /media/wd: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'.

And here is the output of cat /proc/filesystems
nodev   sysfs
nodev   tmpfs
nodev   bdev
nodev   proc
nodev   cgroup
nodev   cgroup2
nodev   cpuset
nodev   devtmpfs
nodev   configfs
nodev   debugfs
nodev   tracefs
nodev   securityfs
nodev   sockfs
nodev   bpf
nodev   pipefs
nodev   ramfs
nodev   devpts
    ext3
    ext2
    ext4
    squashfs
    vfat
nodev   ecryptfs
    fuseblk
nodev   fuse
nodev   fusectl
nodev   mqueue
nodev   pstore
    btrfs
nodev   autofs

Do you need to do anything additionally to enable the support for exFAT?
Thank you

A: I had the same issue after having the fuse drivers installed in an earlier version then upgrading to 20.04 and removing the fuse drivers. cat /proc/filesystems | grep fat does not show exfat.
I re-installed the kernel module included with 20.04 using:
sudo modprobe -v exfat
cat /proc/filesystems | grep fat now shows exfat.
Then to make it survive a reboot, I added exfat to /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf

A: Here's something you can try.  Since the GNU/Linux 5.4.0-1008-raspi aarch64 kernel doesn't seem to have the support for exFAT built in, you can add it.  From https://www.techrepublic.com/article/try-out-this-new-linux-exfat-kernel-module-for-improved-performance/ you can follow the steps to download and install the exFAT support for the kernel.
Install git if it is not installed:
sudo apt install git

You may also want the build-essential package:
sudo apt install build-essential

Next, download the exfat-linux:
git clone https://github.com/arter97/exfat-linux

Enter the newly created folder which should be cd exfat-linux
Then run the following to install the kernel module and make it active:
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe exfat

Now when you run cat /proc/filesystems you should see exfat at the bottom of the list.

A: Here's the fix I found on my amd64 Ubuntu 20.04.
The fuse support gets called first if you have exfat-fuse installed.

*

*I renamed /sbin/mount.exfat.fuse to /sbin/mount.exfat.fuse-save

*I renamed /sbin/mount.exfat-save to  /sbin/mount.exfat-save
(so if I screw up I can revert them)

*I checked that exfat.ko existed in /lib/modules/5.4.0-29-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/

*I insmod-ed the exfat.ko (which I found wasn't necessary after the renaming of the mount commands above.

*I called /bin/mount to add the external drive and it mounted.

*I called umount to remove the mounted filesystem.

*I rmmod'd the exfat.ko and checked it just worked without insmod being forced.

*I apt removed exfat-fuse and removed the two saved renamed mount files above since they get called BEFORE the system mount command.

Hope that helps some folks.  I think that were all the troubleshooting steps.
Ubuntu should put this in the release notes so others don't have the old fuse-mount versions loading first.

A: The new exFAT kernel driver was in Staging in 5.4 and fully released in 5.7.
See:
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/11/linux-5-4-kernel-release-features
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2020/06/linux-5-7-kernel-features

A: For me I had to run sudo apt install exfat-utils before it stopped being greyed out.

A: Distilling the above answers to their simplest form, for 20.04:
sudo apt install exfat-utils
sudo apt remove exfat-fuse
sudo mount -t exfat /dev/sde1 /mnt/exfat

Of course, mounting by UUID is better than /dev/sdX1 as the names change depending on what's plugged in first.

A: Using Ubuntu 20.04 with kernel 5.14 I gave up on the old gparted and just used parted;
B="/dev/sda"
sudo modprobe exfat
sudo parted "$B" mktable msdos
sudo parted "$B" mkpart primary 0% 100%
sudo mkfs.exfat "${B}1"

A: $ sudo mount -t exfat /etc/sda1 /media/wd

etc... to be replace with dev and it will work. Even on Ubuntu Core it works out of the box.


Scientific Names:Berberis vulgaris L., B. aquifolium Pursh. Mahonia aquifolium Nutt.
Common Names: Barberry, Oregon grape, trailing mahonia, berberis,jaundice berry, woodsour, sowberry, pepperidge bush, sour-spine.
Barberry (Berberis vulgaris) is a shrub in the family Berberidaceae, that is native to central and southern Europe, northwest Africa and western Asia.
Barberry grows in the wild but has gained popularity in Europe and US as a garden plant, commonly used as hedge or plant fence due to its thorny, wiry branches. Barberry has long been used in herbal medicine since the Middle ages, used to treat liver and gallbladder disorders.
Barberry shrub grows to about 4 meters in height. Barberry leaves are of variety of shapes about 2 to 5 cm long, the primary leaves are three-forked spines, while secondary ones are oval, subtended by a three branched spine. Barberry flowers are bright yellow that bloom between April to June. The flowers are about 4–6 mm across, produced on 3–6 cm long panicles. Barberry bears red, edible fruits that are oblong in shape about 7–10 mm long and 3–5 mm in diameter. Barberry fruits are very sour that ripens in late summer or autumn. Barberry fruit is rich in vitamin C.
Medicinal use of barberry dates back more than 2,500 years. Barberry has been used in Indian folk medicine to treat diarrhea, reduce fever, improve appetite, relieve upset stomach, and promote vigor as well as a sense of well being. Today, Barberry is widely used for medicinal purposes, including for biliary disorders (such as gallbladder disease) and heartburn.
The herb, which helps digestion and reduces gastrointestinal pain, comes in the form of capsules, tinctures, topical ointments and fluid extracts. Dried barberry roots can be used to make tea. Barberry has many benefits, but it can cause nausea, vomiting, convulsions and dizziness if not taken correctly. Barberry can be poisonous to children, pregnant women or lactating women. Consult a doctor before taking barberry to treat a medical condition.
There are over 500 kinds of Barberry bushes. The two most common forms of barberry bushes in the US are the Common Barberry and the Japanese Barberry. The Common Barberry is used for landscape gardening and grows as a wild bush in the eastern region of the United States. Barberry grows berries in a bunch. The Japanese Barberry is a famous garden plant where berries grow either single or in pairs.
Is Barberry healthy? The answer of course is a resounding yes. Barberries have a number of health and nutrition benefits. The chemical composition of this herb makes them highly nutritious and perfectly suitable for human use.
Barberry berries have Vitamin C in them in a generous measure. Vitamin C helps clear toxins away from the body. It helps maintain strong teeth and bones. Barberry is also needed by the body for a glowing, healthy skin. Athletes have begun to realize the importance of Barberry and have started to incorporate into their diets to speed up healing, support tissues, get relief from colds and get back vigor after intense workouts.
Barberries are rich in the chemical Berberine which boosts the immune system and cell functioning. Barberry prevents bacterial infection of the human cells.
Barberries are a rich source of acids which helps flush extra water and toxins out of the physical system.
Barberry has been used as anti-inflammatory and Antifungal agent and is used to ease inflammation and infection of the urinary tracts and, gastrointestinal tract. Barberry is considered effective in treating bacterial diarrhea. Barberry is effective in treatment of respiratory tract infections like sore throat, nasal congestion. Barberry is used to treat candida (yeast) infections, psoriasis, and other skin infections. Compress containing Barberry is used during conjunctivitis or inflamed eyelids.
Barberry is used to promote vigour and immunity. This is attributed to alkaloids present in barberries which are proven to combat infection, bacteria and increase immunity. Barberry is hepatic, purgative, laxative, tonic and stomachic in nature; it increase flow of bile and eases disorders related to gallbladder and jaundice.
Barberry may offer protection against Type 2 diabetes. When used along with milk thistle, helps stabilize blood sugar levels and treat diabetes.
Barberry extract used in a salve may reduce symptoms of psoriasis, but there is currently not enough clinical evidence to support this claim.
The flowers and the bark of Barberry are anti-rheumatic in nature.
Barberry can be an effective cleanser for the liver. It has the ability to promote the flow of bile and correct liver function. According to Vitamins & Health Supplements Guide, "Barberry has long been used to stimulate bile secretion and the liver in general, as a bitter digestive tonic, diuretic, alterative, and immunostimulant."
Barberry can be an effective treatment for diarrhea. It helps the treatment of diarrhea because it contains astringent properties. Barberry can be a quick remedy for diarrhea symptoms.
Barberry can be an effective treatment for bladder, urinary, yeast and gastrointestinal infections. It can also be used to treat a sore throat, sinusitis, bronchitis, nasal congestion and respiratory inflammation.
Gargling with a Barberry mouthwash can be useful in providing relief from Pyorrhea, sore throat, mouth irritation and throat irritation. Barberry can also help strengthening the gums.
Barberry may be beneficial to the cardiovascular and neural systems and may be used as a treatment for epilepsy and convulsions. It has also been used as an alternative treatment for tachycardia and hypertension.
As with other herbs containing berberine, barberry should not be used by pregnant women because it is a uterine stimulant. No studies have been done on the safety of barberry in nursing women and therefore it is probably best to avoid using barberry while nursing.
Used in appropriate doses, barberry has no reported side effects. In excessive doses it may cause nosebleed, diarrhea and vomiting. Barberry may also cause kidney problems. Pain during urination, blood in the urine and low back pain are symptoms of kidney problems and should be reported to a doctor immediately.
Barberry may interact with other medications, so it is important for patients to advise their doctor if they are taking barberry. Patients who are under the care of a doctor and taking prescribed medications should not take barberry until they have discussed it with their doctor. Before taking barberry as a remedy, patients should discuss the medical condition and therapeutic benefits with a doctor or herbalist.
The concurrent use of berberine (a constituent of barberry) and antibiotics may have additive effects. Consult with a qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist, before combining therapies.
Barberry has displayed anticholinergic activity. Theoretically, combination use of barberry with anticholinergic agents may increase these effects. Examples of anticholinergic herbs include bittersweet (Solanum dulcamara), henbane (Hyoscyamus niger), and Jimson weed (Datura stramonium).
Berberine may increase platelet formation, therefore caution is advised when using herbs or supplements that may have competing effects.
Berberine has been shown to decrease blood pressure. Patients taking blood pressure lowering medications should consult with a qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist.
Use with other herbs containing berberine may increase the risk of berberine toxicity. Examples of berberine-containing herbs include bloodroot, goldenseal and celandine.
Barberry contains vitamin C and may have a mild diuretic effect due to the acid content. Theoretically, barberry may increase the effects of other herbs with potential diuretic effects. Caution is advised.
Preliminary evidence shows that barberry may interfere with the way the body processes certain drugs using the liver's "cytochrome P450" enzyme system. As a result, the levels of these drugs may be altered in the blood, and may cause different effects or potentially serious adverse reactions.
Berberine may lower blood sugar levels. Caution is advised when combining with other herbs and supplements that may also lower blood sugar.
Theoretically, concomitant use of berbeine may have additional effects with other sedative agents. Berberine may cause drowsiness and motor impairment. Caution is advised when using in combination with other herbs or supplements that have sedative effects, such as chamomile.
Yohimbine, a constituent of yohimbe, and barberry competitively interact for binding sites. In addition, due to the anti-fertility properties of berberine, use of yohimbe for the purpose of procreation may not be effective.
Berberine may decrease the metabolism of vitamin B, and caution is advised.

Chevron announces $75 billion stock buyback, dividend boost
Chevron last month reported its second-highest quarterly profit ever.
Justin Sullivan | Getty Images News | Getty Images
Energy giant Chevron
announced a $75 billion stock buyback program and a dividend hike on Wednesday evening.
Shares of Chevron were up more than 2% in extended trading.
The buyback program will become effective on April 1, with no set expiration date, the company said in a press release. The dividend hike increases Chevron's per share payout to $1.51 from $1.42, and that will be distributed on March 10.
Chevron's market cap was roughly $350 billion as on Wednesday's market close, meaning that the buyback would represent more than 20% of the company's stock at current prices.
This buyback plan follows a $25 billion plan enacted in 2019. The old plan will be terminated at the end of March. For the third quarter of 2022 — the most recent quarter that Chevron has reported — the company repurchased $3.75 billion of shares.
The new buyback plan comes after a massive year for energy stocks, as a reopened U.S. economy and Russia's invasion of Ukraine combined to drive oil and gas prices hire in 2022. Chevron reported more than $12 billion of free cash flow and $11 billion of net income in the third quarter alone.
The financial success of energy companies has led to criticism from politicians, including U.S. President Joe Biden, who threatened higher taxes on energy companies last year for their "war profiteering."
Chevron CEO Mike Wirth told CNBC in December that the company was "in contact" with the Biden administration on a variety of issues.
"Our goal of stable markets and prices that are affordable for the economy is something we share. How we get there, sometimes we have different ideas," Wirth said on "Squawk Box."

« Product or service – what's the difference?
When I left corporate life I didn't really know anyone outside of the companies I had worked in. I didn't have 'a network' of much substance. So, I went on 'the circuit' and set about building one.
I didn't know what I wanted to offer either. I had done many different things in my career and had worn many different hats, and had been pretty competent at most things I had turned my hand to. I felt I could do pretty much anything.
So I did what seemed like the safest option. I had a network of people that knew me, liked me and trusted me. I decided to put something together that would appeal to my network. It couldn't be hard, could it? I mean, I know all about defining requirements, creating products and services, marketing them effectively. It should have been a doddle.
I have had several ideas about what they want and what they need. I have started a few initiatives but none of them have sustained, none have got traction. It's just seemed like really hard work. And the reason it's not working, I have realised, is because I am doing it the wrong way around. I may care about them but I don't really care about their issues. Don't get me wrong, I want to help them but their stuff just isn't my stuff. I am not passionate about what I am doing for them, and they can tell.
So, now I am starting with what I care about. What really gets my juices flowing, what I feel I really know about. And then I am going to find the market for it. And because I care about it, I know I will find the people I need.
It seems the much riskier option. But it feels a much better bet. I can't wait to get started.

Survivor Tells of Living Through Collapse of Taiwan Building
Rescue workers using excavators continue to search the rubble of a collapsed building complex in Tainan, Taiwan, Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2016. Photo: Annie Ho / AP
TAINAN, Taiwan — A survivor is telling of how he propped himself up against a wall for 20 hours to survive the collapse of a southern Taiwan building complex in Saturday's earthquake.
Ko Ching-chung said he was with his girlfriend in their apartment at the Weiguan Golden Dragon complex in the city of Taiwan when the 6.4 magnitude quake hit just before 4 a.m. on Saturday.
Seeking to avoid falling and potentially smothering her, Ko said he wedged himself into the space but began to lose strength as the hours went by. Finally, he could no longer hold himself in place and, begging her forgiveness, collapsed onto his girlfriend.
The young couple had been trapped in Saturday's pre-dawn collapse of the Weiguan Golden Dragon apartment complex in the southern Taiwanese city of Tainan following a strong earthquake. Outside, rescuers were frantically searching for survivors amid the smashed concrete and twisted iron.
"Toward the end, to tell you the truth, I had already given up," Ko told Taiwanese broadcaster FTV from his hospital bed on Monday, a day after he and his girlfriend were rescued.
"I had no strength left to hold myself up anymore. My body fell on top of her. She would have soon not been able to breathe. I said to her I had to lay on top of her, and she said to me it's OK."
Soon after, rescuers heard her voice and pulled the pair from the rubble, placing them among the more than 300 people who survived the tragedy that had claimed at least 40 lives by Tuesday. More than 100 people remain unaccounted for more than three days after the collapse.
Ko said his main desire following his rescue was to reunite with his loved ones, especially his mother, who had waited anxiously at the scene.
His mother, whose name wasn't given, said she shuddered when rescuers told her they could make out only a female voice.
"It was very difficult and horrible. But they continued digging, then they heard his voice," she said. "At that moment, I felt thankful to the gods in heaven and earth and all the blessings that people gave to us."
Also among the survivors was 8-year-old Lin Su-chin, who was rescued on Monday along with her 28-year-old aunt, Chen Mei-jih. On Tuesday, Lin had recovered enough after her 61-hour ordeal to speak a few words to her father and grandparents, mainly to express her wish for her favorite snacks.
"I want to eat gelatin, ice cream — I want to eat so many things," Lin said

Q: jQuery search title and contents with accordion I wanted to create a live search on the title and the description or content with an accordion. I've seen this post How to search through nested accordion using JS and see if it could help and I've tried it and it works fine.
The problem is I don't think it looks for the title, it only look for the description. I wanted to look at it for both title and description.

Thanks for the help!

A: The logic is already searching in both the titles and descriptions of each collapsible section.
The issue is due to the fact you add or remove the hidden class in every iteration of the loop through the child elements. As such, you could remove the class when a match is found in one child but then the class is added to hide the parent again when there is no match in the next child.
To fix this you can amend you logic so that you hide everything before the search starts and unhide only when a match is found within the loop. Try this:

jQuery($ => {
  $("#search-qa").on('keyup', function() {
    let searchText = $(this).val().toLowerCase().trim();
    $('.collapse').addClass('hidden', searchText.length > 0); // hide all elements when a search starts

    $(".collapse *").each(function() {
      let $child = $(this);
      let $collapse = $child.closest('.collapse');
      let text = $child.immediateText().toLowerCase().trim();

      if (text.indexOf(searchText) !== -1)
        $collapse.removeClass('hidden'); // show the current collapse container when a match is found
    });
  });

Luis Enrique dismisses defensive issues after Valencia triumph
Barcelona v Valencia
The Catalans had to come from behind after gifting an early goal, but their coach is not convinced they have a problem from dead balls
Barcelona head coach Luis Enrique denied his side have a problem defending set pieces after they conceded from a corner for the second La Liga game in a row.
Valencia's Eliaquim Mangala, who was later sent off, scored from Daniel Parejo's corner to give Valencia the lead after 29 minutes at Camp Nou.
But goals from Luis Suarez, Andre Gomes and a brace from Lionel Messi ensured Barca ran out 4-2 winners in the end, with Munir El Haddadi scoring Valencia's second.
Alexis could play against Argentina
Deportivo La Coruna scored two goals from corners to beat Barcelona 2-1 in the Blaugrana's previous game, but Luis Enrique is unconcerned by the trend.
He told Marca: "It is football. You enter into a dynamic.
"You can go one hundred corners without conceding, and then you concede three.
"Mangala's goal is entirely to his credit."
The result moved Barcelona back to within two points of La Liga leaders Real Madrid ahead of the international break, and Luis Enrique was satisfied with his side's performance despite their defensive frailties being exposed.
He said: "It was an entertaining game for all of us, with chances for both of us until the last minute.
"We played a good game. Valencia made us work hard, but we generated many chances and it could have been a better result.
"We got three points against a difficult opponent."
Luis Enrique singled out Gomes for praise after the 23-year-old scored his first goal for Barcelona since joining the club from Valencia in July 2016.
"I'm triply happy for him," said Enrique. "There's nothing better than your stadium applauding you.
"I am sure that Andre Gomes will be a very important player in the coming years in Barcelona."

Tesla Q1 profits boosted by selling Bitcoin
MilesK
Tesla has been selling off some of their bitcoin to help boost their profits. Tesla's shareholder update revealed that sales of bitcoin made a $101 million "positive impact" to their profitability.
Overall Tesla reported a net profit of $438 million on a GAAP basis for Q1.
Tesla's bitcoin speculation helped boost profits by more than $100 million in Q1
On Monday, Tesla's shareholder update revealed that sales of bitcoin made a $101 million "positive impact" to the company's profitability during Q1.
www.cnbc.com
Tesla reported first-quarter results on Monday, including a record quarterly net profit of $438 million on a GAAP basis.
As usual, those profits were buoyed by sales of environmental regulatory credits. But in a new wrinkle this quarter, the company's sales of bitcoin during the quarter also contributed $101 million toward the bottom line.
In February, Tesla made waves when it announced a $1.5 billion purchase of bitcoin and said it may continue investing in cryptocurrency more broadly.
On Monday, Tesla's shareholder update revealed that sales of bitcoin made a $101 million "positive impact" to the company's profitability during the period ending March 31, 2021.
On the company's cash flows statement for Q1 (page 26), it recorded $1.5 billion in purchases of "digital assets," as well as $272 million in proceeds from sales of digital assets during the quarter.
Elsewhere (page 5), the company says its profitability was helped from a sale of bitcoin which contributed a $101 million "positive impact, net of impairments, in 'Restructuring and Other.'" This shows up as a $101 million reduction in operating expenses on the company's Statement of Operations (page 24).
This suggests that the company quickly flipped some of its big bitcoin purchase for a gain of $101 million, as bitcoin prices rose during the quarter.
As CFO Zachary Kirkhorn said during the earnings call, "Elon and I were looking for a place to store cash" that wasn't immediately being used to get returns. But they had a need to be able to access their cash quickly too.
"Bitcoin has proved to be a good decision, a good place to put some of our cash that's not being used for daily operations…and be able to get some return on that." Kirkhorn added that while they were pleased with the liquidity of the bitcoin market, "It is our intent to hold long-term."
Tesla does accept bitcoin payments from customers now.
But apart from that, it's not clear how investments in and use of cryptocurrency serve the mission of Elon Musk's electric vehicle and energy storage business. The stated mission of Tesla has long been to "accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy."
Vicki Bryan, founder of the bond investment research firm Bond Angle, wrote in an e-mail to CNBC:
"Bitcoin is not fungible or logically advantageous as currency, arguably not safer for the owner vs cash in transactions, and inexcusably damaging to the environment."
Tesla had historically racked up around $1.6 billion in regulatory energy credits, primarily zero emission vehicle credits, Bryan notes. Credit sales helped Tesla to report more than four consecutive quarters of profitability, qualifying Tesla for addition to the S&P 500 index.
With Tesla's bitcoin purchases, Bryan says, Tesla is adding a volatile asset with limited reported visibility to financial statements which "already conceal vital clarity of key operations and financial conditions."

I wonder if you take out the carbon credits and bitcoin stuff is Tesla a profitable 'car' company. Last quarter that was not the case. More power to them but its an issue long term.

lefkonj said:
Pretty sure they have not had a profit in any quarter without the credits. As more manufacturers start building EVs the value stream for the credits will dry up.
They do have a new battery cell that will lower their cost shortly that will help.
I have no clue how their stock has the value it does. My opinion they are at least 6 to 7 times too high.
SANZCO2 said:
Do you think the stock is a bubble or could it actually maintain those levels in the coming years?

eHauler said:
I am not a financial analyst and this is not any legitimate prediction, only offering it as a layman's perspective.
My personal opinion is it is a huge bubble. A company with a high PE is usually in the 70-80 range. Tesla's PE is at 710 today.
Stock price was 71.00 in November 2019 closed at 709 today, my opinion the 71 price makes more sense even today, there PE would be high at 71 but more in line with trend setters on the forefront. Even if they had a high PE like Fiat at 210 the stock would be 212.00
They are valued at more than all of these other companies combined based on Stock price and outstanding shares.
Tesla - PE 710 - Valuation 380 B
Ford - PE 21 - Valuation 49 B
GM - PE 13 - Valuation 81 B
Fiat -PE 210 - Valuation 32 B (crazy high PE as well)
Daimler - PE 10 - Valuation 78 B EU
BMW -PE 12 - Valuation 65 B
There are so many EVs coming to market in the next 6 to 24 months, many from main stream manufactures, so they will start getting a lot of competition for market share. That could be a challenge for them with their quality and service department history.
They do still have a huge advantage with their Super Charger network. They also have a new battery cell coming out in the next 12 to 24 months that should be more dense and cheaper to manufacture so that is a benefit as well. But that should allow them to start being profitable at current prices. They have not been able to make a profit so far with manufacturing so I do not think they will be having lower cost vehicles with the new battery.
They are showing profits now because they are selling ZEV credits. Without those credits and bit coin in the last quarter they would have lost 181 million. As more companies move to EVs the market for the ZEV credits will start drying up.
Being profitable doing something that isn't your main reason for existing is just so odd.
Imagine if Sony came out and said 'We wouldn't be profitable except for our potato farms, they are really bringing it in'
Tesla is playing a very dangerous game, not only is the competition for EVs getting heavier but their only profits come from carbon tax credit sales and bitcoin..... What happens when that dries up?
This could be bad news for Tesla….

I wonder what will happen to tesla's bitcoin position now. It is already in big losses and perhaps investors will soon be asking questions with no clear answer. It will be a big blow to the crypto market if even a rumor about Tesla selling bitcoin appears.

According to the last earnings report, it looks like tesla's not doing well. The demand issues and the company missing revenue expectations in its third-quarter earnings report caused investors to lose faith in it.
Also, Musk's controversial Tweets cause the company's stocks some issues. I personally don't want to invest in this company now, but I will also pay attention to the actions of professionals from social trading platforms on https://www.doughroller.net/investing/bеst-social-trading-platforms/. They might see something I don't.
What do you think about investments in tesla now?

Q: Query and filter Table and it's relation with multiple parameters in flask-sqlalchemy I've created a database using "flask-sqlalchemy".
There are two tables:1-University and 2-Field
one University can have many Field(s) so here we have a one-to-many relation.
So when we query University it also returns a list of Field(s) for each row of the University table.The code is in below:
class University(db.Model):
    name = db.Column(db.String(120), index=True, unique=True, primary_key=True)
    country = db.Column(db.String(128))
    fields = db.relationship('Field', lazy='dynamic')
    ...
    ...

class Field(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    study = db.Column(db.String(256), nullable=False)
    grade = db.Column(db.String(256))
    university_name = db.Column(db.String(256), db.ForeignKey('university.name'))

my question is:I want to query the University and also It's relation at the same time so that the result would be a University object which contains only one specific Field object with it(not a list of all the Field(s) related to that one university object)so here after I filter the University I'm then filtering(querying)It's relation
I have 3parameters for the query,one is in University and the other two are for It's relation:
country_param = 'usa'
grade_param = 'master'
study_param = 'electronics'

I'm struggling and reading sqlalchemy docs,flask-sqlalchemy docs for two days and I've read and tried many similar questions in stack-over-flow and nothing worked.
plus many different combinations like
existing = University.query.join(University.fields).filter(University.country == 'usa',
                                                           Field.grade == 'phd').first()

or
    a = Field.query.with_parent(u).filter(Field.grade == 'master').all()

I've tried but nothing works.
-Thanks for reading my question and helping me


When you own a property and want to make them attract buyers then you should know how to make your small property look presentable. Making good impression is essential in property business. This also happens when it comes to present your property to potential buyers. One of the most common problems is small property tend to look even smaller if you try to decorate it or add some accent in effort to make it look presentable and convenience. Your small property is your asset after all. That is where you will earn your income or profit. Thus, making it look great and attractive is the least you can do.
Asses the overall of your property from inside and out. Take a look at every detail the interior design before putting some furniture inside. Take a note on what you need to fill and where to put things properly. Remember that buyers always look for comfortable living space. Thus, focus on this priority instead of thinking about futuristic furniture or smart tools to fill in the rooms.
How to make your small property look presentable is to minimize the use of unnecessary furniture or accessories. Especially, avoid putting your personal items in the room. It is recommended that you arrange the room by putting clean and fresh linen dressing for the bed, or putting fabulous cushion on the sofa. Those are small things but more effective in making interior design look more presentable and attractive without putting too much effort.
If the wall look worn out, you can repaint it or just put a layer to make the color comes alive. Interior design with fresh and beautiful color is effective in charming buyers because the wall is one of the most important parts in interior design.
When it comes to living area, you need to create certain look that will make buyers feel attracted. Since your property is small, make arrangement which makes the room look spacious. Instead of putting large and expensive sofa, it is recommended to put minimalist sofa with soft fabric and few cushions. Choose L arrangement for the sofa position so that the room feels more spacious that it is.
Make sure that your unit or property is clean and tidy before you present it to your potential buyers. Staying on the concept of clean and simplicity is how to make your small property look presentable to the buyers.

Unlawful Possession of a Firearm in Maryland
The unlawful possession of a firearm in Maryland is wearing or carrying a handgun. A first offense has a maximum penalty of three years with a minimum of 30 days. This minimum is not necessarily going to occur all of the time. The minimum punishment depends on whether a judge gives them a probation before judgment where an individual does not have to have any penalty.
Someone who has a firearm that is stolen, that is not lawfully purchased, or not registered, could put themselves at risk of getting not only arrested but convicted and put in jail. When facing charges of unlawful possession of a firearm in Maryland, it is important for that individual to contact an experienced gun lawyer right away.
Possession vs. Distribution
Laws for unlawful possession of a firearm in Maryland focus on both possession and distribution. Law enforcement wants to get illegal guns off the street, meaning guns that are in the hands of criminals, former felons, drug dealers, or people who should not have a firearm for any reason.
Simple possession is indistinguishable in terms of criminal activity and whether it is a first or second offense. A first offense of unlawful possession of a firearm in Maryland is typically a maximum of three years and increases to ten years on a second offense with a minimum one year. If there are multiple weapons, it can go even higher.
In Maryland, Baltimore had the deadliest year, which continues to be on the upside. In 2015, Baltimore had 344 homicides and the prior year was 344. In 1993, it was 353. Between 1993 and 2015, police were able to really reduce that number. However, 90 percent of those homicides were results of shootings and over 900 people were shot in that year alone.
The prior governor's administration really strengthened gun laws, especially handgun carry conceal strict laws. Unlawful possession of a firearm in Maryland laws have made possession of a handgun on an individual's person and transportation to a vehicle harder for someone to do legally. The laws continue to change as part of Governor Hogan's pledge. When elected, he said that it would not affect the changes in the strictness of gun laws even though there was an enormous amount of lobbying behind it.
The number of violent acts involving handguns has increased, rather than successful decreasing as a result of the new firearm strictness. This most likely means that guns are in the hands of criminals or other unlawful carriers.
Gun-Free Zones
Specifically, gun-free zones are places where people cannot go with firearms, even if they have a wear carry conceal permit. One place would be school property, while another is an individual within a thousand feet of a demonstration in a public place, legislative buildings, any aircraft, or air commerce services.
Other areas include public areas such as Chesapeake Forest Lands, state forests, state parks, state highways, adult rehabilitation centers, and childcare centers with some very small exceptions. Lodging establishments can be gun-free zones when innkeeper reasonably believes individuals possess property that may be dangerous to other individuals such as firearms or explosives. There are about 13 types of places in total that are gun-free zones.
The use of weapons in a gun-free zone, specifically the use of a weapon in a school zone or use or possession of a weapon on school grounds is punishable by up to five years in prison. Contacting a local attorney can help in better understanding your rights regarding unlawful possession of a firearm in Maryland.

Wat kan het effect van Pilates zijn voor migrainepatiënten?
Migraine en migraineachtige hoofdpijn komt naar schatting bij 10% van de Nederlandse bevolking voor. Dit kan variëren van lichte tot zware aanvallen en voor mensen een grote belasting betekenen in het dagelijks leven. Deze mensen zijn misschien geneigd om niet (of minder) aan sport te doen uit angst dat zij hiermee hun hoofdpijn opwekken of verergeren. Dat is jammer, want sporten brengt veel gezondheidsvoordelen met zich mee, ook voor migrainepatiënten.
Helaas is er jammer genoeg niet zoveel bekend over migraine en sportbeoefening. Wel weet men dat sportbeoefening bij de meeste mensen niet leidt tot migraineaanvallen. Een goed gedoseerde duurtraining kan de frequentie en de ernst van de migraineaanvallen zelfs verminderen, op voorwaarde dat het op de juiste manier is opgebouwd. Over het algemeen mogen migrainepatiënten dus gewoon sporten en is elke sport geschikt. Zoals hardlopen, fietsen of roeien maar ook aan teamsporten, zoals voetbal of basketbal. Ook zwemmen of aquajoggen en aerobics liggen binnen de mogelijkheden. Als je meer van een mildere, ontspannende sport houdt, kies dan voor wandelen, Pilates, Yoga of b.v. Tai Chi.
Ben je geïnteresseerd naar wat Pilates kan doen als je last hebt van migraine, lees dan dit artikel.
I hate to even say the word: Migraines. Many of us suffer from migraines, either as the person afflicted with them, or as a loved one. For me, it's been a long journey to get past these debilitating headaches, but that's just where they are: the past. Through experimentation and trial and error on my own migraines, here are some things that have helped me. If this helps with your migraines or your clients (even just a little bit), then we will have been hugely successful.
David Butler's Explain Pain helped me understand that the severe pain and chronic nature of my migraines had entered into the world of central nervous processing. The pain receptors were completely lit up and overactive, like a house alarm that can't be shut off. Butler says that one of the best ways to turn the alarm bells off is to convince the alarm system (brain) that there is no danger (pain). Enter pain-free movement. If movement is pain-free, then the alarm system that looks for even the smallest discomfort to get over-excited about can calm down and be quiet. For me, with migraines, the pain always intensified with exercise that felt like any sort of exertion at all.
Footwork on the Reformer for 10-20 minutes.
Arm Circles Supine on the Reformer for 5 minutes.
Side-facing single leg press on chair for 5 minutes each side.
I was careful with the exercises I chose so as not to overly activate the upper traps and levator scapulae. I didn't try to avoid them completely, but I also didn't choose to do overhead work and cervical spine extension/flexion when the migraines were acute.
The tightness that usually accompanies migraines leads one to stretch… a lot! But instead of focusing on holding a muscle stretch I discovered neural glides.
A nerve that isn't gliding, or that is "stuck", will feel very similar to a tight muscle. In The Sensitive Nervous System, Butler takes an in-depth look at neural assessment and neurodynamics. Stuart McGill, in Low Back Disorders, shows an easy way to assess a non-gliding, pinched or tensioned nerve in the spine, spinal cord or meninges, an area most likely to be aggravated with a migraine.
Assessment Exercise for tension in the spine, cord and meninges.
a) The first picture shows how to assess on your own body, if there is a tensioned neural component to the migraine. First, raise your right leg. Flex the foot. Do you notice a hamstring stretch? Bring your leg closer until you do. It's okay to bend your knee here if the only stretch you are feeling is either behind the knee or in the lower leg. Now lift your head off the mat. Does that increase your hamstring stretch? If yes, that is a nerve being tensioned. Why? Because there is no muscle attached from your hamstring to the back of your head.
b) See figure 2 for this assessment. Sit on the trap table or any table where you can't touch the floor. Straighten the right leg and flex the foot. Do you feel a hamstring stretch? It's okay if you don't. Now drop forward into a flexed spine position. Does that increase the hamstring stretch or give you a hamstring stretch for the first time? That's nerve tension.
c) Nerve Glide for the Spine, Cord and Meninges.
A nerve is not a muscle. When you have a tight muscle it's okay to hold the stretch and give the muscle time to override the golgi tendon reflex, or the reflex that tries to prevent the muscle from stretching too far. A nice long 90-second hold of a muscle that is tight is okay. A nice long "stretch" of a nerve that is tense is not okay. You'll just make it angry and it's likely to be more aggravated, resulting in more pain for you or your client/patient.
The Spine, Cord and Meninges Nerve Glide.
Outside of Pilates, here are other things that can help with migraines.
Try to alleviate a major stressor. If you are anxious, upset and/or depressed that needs further investigation.
Passing time. As women, our bodies go through many changes and shifts in our lifetimes. My mother one told me that about every 7 years our bodies go through such a shift. My migraines lasted just about that long.
Evaluate your diet. I found switching to plant-based foods worked wonders for me. Keep a food diary and see what things you're eating that could be affecting your frequency or intensity of migraines.
Pain meds didn't work for me. They are not a magic bullet and can't be relied upon 100% of the time for relief.
Our bodies are infinitely complex. Pain is not purely. Pain is also psychological and sociological. Look at your mechanisms and how migraines have changed your life. If you have to make concessions in your life or you have changed how you live due to migraines, then what you are seeing is the multitude of facets that go along with chronic pain. I cannot encourage you enough to continue to find a solution. It's there. Just keep following the path.

Have you ever looked within the newspaper and seen a remarkably amazing type of loan that made your last type of loan look pitiful? Maybe it was a week once you signed for which you thought was the very best rate available. And perhaps it had been. When lenders advertise their finest home loan rates, these figures tend to be the very best rate they are able to share with the most effective customer. Does which means that you aren't a great customer? No, but there are many factors that can make you more appealing to lenders and obtain a rate plan.
Among the greatest factors is obviously your credit rating. It's not necessary to have perfect credit to obtain a great type of loan (even though it certainly is needed!). Even though you have missed some payments or had some unfortunate conditions, you are able to rebuild your credit. Even small increases in your credit rating can help you save tremendously through getting a lesser type of loan. There a couple of simple guidelines to help you.
First, pay your present bills once you receive them. Having to pay quickly and staying away from delayed payments is a superb begin to adding suggests your credit rating. Also, if you're able to, pay a minimum of double the amount minimum payment. This teaches you have reserve and understand how to be careful inside your budgeting. This raises your credit rating with time. For those who have had delayed payments or missed payments within the last two or three several weeks, this is higher than should you missed a repayment last year. Unless of course you're underneath the gun, strategically searching for any type of loan after 6 several weeks of excellent payment history is a plus.
It is crucial also to avoid trying to get new loans or new charge cards. Typically, with each and every application, your credit rating is checked. Although this appears pretty minor, every credit assessment lowers your credit rating by 12 points. You haven't always done almost anything to take into account this decrease in credit, however the credit industry knows that credit users frequently make an application for more credit from multiple sources. This winds up tossing you right into a "bad" credit category.
Other methods for you to increase your credit rating is to take down overall debt. The low your financial troubles, the greater your credit. This lowers one key factor that lenders assess when assigning a home loan rate…your financial troubles-to-earnings ratio. The low your financial troubles, the low your financial troubles-to-earnings ratio. And will also favor a much better type of loan since you appear less "dangerous" to mortgage brokers. If you're able to lower your credit good balance to under 50 % on every line of credit or loan, this favors a good credit score scores.
Other ways that you are able to attract individuals better home loan rates is to create a bigger lower payment. Lenders understand that should you put lower greater amounts, besides this lessen the amount borrowed needed as well as their risk, it increases neglect the as well as your own risk if you ever default. A bigger lower payment is really a win-win within the eyes of the loan provider. If this sounds like possible, it'll certainly provide you with more room to barter a much better type of loan.
And finally, you have to look around and compare home loan rates among different lenders. Different lenders have been in different situations at any give time so eventually an industrial bank could have a better type of loan, and subsequently day, it might be a lending institution. Lenders shop several lenders due to this reason. By constantly sampling several locations for home loan rates, there is a better ability to locate a lower rate in addition to a bigger number of terms.
Remember, with regards to finding the right type of loan, the specific game is risk. The loan provider, who decides exactly what the rate is going to be, is just prepared to lower the speed if he feels the danger is less. How can you lower his risk? You need to do this by growing your credit rating through having to pay bills promptly, lowering your debt, growing your earnings, by creating a bigger lower payment. Additionally, different lenders have different amounts of motivation to make a home loan work. Shop and compare along the way to obtain the loan provider that provides the finest type of loan. These simple strategies could save you big bucks over time.


In the mid twenty-first century, mankind has reached a point in its technological advances to enable colonization of the far reaches of the universe. DARK STAR is a futuristic scout ship traveling far in advance of colony ships. Armed with Exponential Thermosteller Bombs, it prowls the darkest reaches of space on a mission to seek out and destroy unstable planets ahead of the colonist. But there is one obstacle that its crew members did not count on -- one of the ship's thinking and talking bombs is lodged in the bay, threatening to destroy the entire ship and crew! DARK STAR was originally intended to be a 68 minute film. Jack Harris, the Hollywood producer, convinced the filmmakers to shoot 15 minutes of extra footage and he released the expanded version theatrically in 1975 through Bryanston Pictures. To honor the filmmakers wishes, this new DVD will contain both the shorter 1974 Original version and the longer 1975 Theatrical release version. The 2010 Hyperdrive Edition DVD has been sourced from a new 16x9, 35mm transfer, with a further pain-staking, frame-by-frame digital restoration of the video master to produce the best picture ever seen. The soundtrack has also been digitally enhanced and restored to Dolby Digital 5.1.

Some people love their cats and some people go out of their way to let you know how much they love their pets. In a strange new trend, people are getting tattoos of their pets, but to make this even odder, they're getting tattoos based on their cat's own hair.
A tattoo service in Switzerland creates ink from medically clean organic carbon extracted from either human or animal hair. Using this ink, the tattoo artist can inject it under a person's skin to create a tattoo. That's why Kathrin, who goes by the modelling name of Makani Terror, got a tattoo of her cat using the cat's own hair for the ink.

Revising can be messy. It's all well and good to kill your darlings, but it's often the case that the darlings need reshaping rather than killing.
Ghosts of the Old City has required some particularly bloody revising. After going through my alpha draft, I realized that almost a third of the book was in the wrong order. Some scenes—and most of two chapters—featured characters spinning their metaphorical wheels, waiting for the next thing to happen. (Really, it was the author waiting to figure out what happened next.) The disappointing thing is that those scenes were not even good character development. I had glossed over some things that should have been interesting challenges for the characters, and I had zoomed in on some moments that turned out to be insignificant.
Starting to implement the necessary fixes has made me feel like a Civil War era surgeon, operating with butchers' tools and booze for anaesthetic. There's little delicacy for me at this stage. I ginned up sixteen new chapter files in Scrivener on a fresh storyboard. Most of those will use some existing text. Some will be new. One will require only moderate changes to reflect the altered flow of the plot. "Cut and paste" feels like chop-and-paste, or chop and throw into a bucket for later reattachment. It is brutal and unsubtle stuff.
I find this a little ironic because one of the things that I appreciate about the revision process is the craftsmanship of it. When I'm drafting, I'm chasing the story. I'm discovering things. I am, when things are working well, a damn wizard, conjuring something out of nothing. The revision process, as I was describing it to somebody a few weeks ago, is more like engineering. My friend (who is a research scientist) nodded sagely and said that it's an iterative process, where you can try things out and see what works. I like that kind of work as much as I do the wilder stuff of creating. There's something satisfying about each step getting you closer to the beautiful (or functional, or both) thing that you're working on. I just tend to imagine it like bonsai or playing with Lego.
I want the first half of the book to be worthy of the second. I also want the first half to build correctly to the second, which is why the hatchet job was necessary. Plot relies on conflict. Usually—and in this way my novel is nothing unusual—that conflict should build gradually. In the first-and-a-half draft of Ghosts, the conflict is just kind of there. Drafting it, I had antagonists in mind, but I hadn't thought of exactly what they wanted or how they were going about their business. Now I know what needs to happen, and it's not there.
I've gotten through the most brutal parts of the corrective surgery. I can put down the cleaver. The next step is to pick up the needle and stitch it all back together with everything in the right place. One of the fun things about being a writer is that if you're doing your job, your story won't even show the scars.
I am working in feverish fits and starts to get the last few thousand words into my first draft of Ghosts of the Old City. It was supposed to be volume one of "The Fairworth Chronicles." (That is, in fact, what my Scrivener project is called.) A few weeks ago, I read a blog post about names and languages, along with another about a writer having to rename her protagonists to move them away from stereotypes. The combination of those two posts set the niggling worms of doubt to work at the back of my mind. Sometimes—this time—those worms were simply the precursors of an uncomfortable but necessary change. I have to find one of my heroes a replacement surname.
I loved "Fairworth" as a surname. It sounds great. It has interesting connotations for a character who doesn't always think of himself as worth much, and particularly for a family that has done some pretty unworthy things. It also just works for a pulp hero. Those characteristics were particularly important for Maedoc's original incarnation, years and years ago, as a character for a short-lived online game. (The game never got off the train it started on.) The concept for that character—"unlucky dilettante who sees ghosts"—didn't change much for the novel, but the novel has given that thumbnail a chance to develop into a full character.
More importantly, I've developed my own world around him. That game had trains and elven cults fighting the erosion of magic (with dynamite!) and a world vaguely defined by a recent war between magicians and technologists. I didn't really keep any of that, instead building a culturally divided city, partly made of magic letters. There are humans and, in the background, seal-people—no elves or dwarves or (FSM forbid) gnomes. There are trains but not automatons or dirigibles or other steampunk staples.
…and that world has its own languages. More importantly, I've worked hard to avoid it becoming some undiscovered part of England. One language is based loosely on Bulgarian and associated with a culture formerly reliant on horses. The other language features a phonemic rune alphabet. Neither has a place for "Fairworth." The name makes it too easy to think of the faux-Bulgarian Parukhi as British (and thus substituting France or a vaguely-defined Far East for the opposing Shehru rune alphabet culture). It also just doesn't fit with all the place names I've used. I had, at one point, a half-baked theory about the Parukhi aristocracy all having adjective+noun or noun+noun names: Fairworth, Stormcliff, Briarwood, usw. The Parukhi commoners had one-word surnames drawn from common objects: Wood, Needle, whatever. (Gene Wolfe does a lot with those object-names in his Book of the Long Sun, by the by.) In theory, it's not a bad idea. In practice, there's absolutely no spot to explain or demonstrate that in the novel. I'd end up with something forced or confusing. Never mind that even with that distinction, squashing together English words for names just doesn't fit with all of the other things I've created.
So I spent Sunday afternoon playing with Google translate and trying out different surnames. I'm testing one of them now, but am not wholly sold on it. It's hard to take a name I've been living with for over a year and replace it. My initial feelings are that it loses some of the sonic "essence" of Maedoc, but deepens the sense of his family history. Given that the name was originally created for a character with minimal background, this isn't surprising. I think the change will ultimately help anchor poor Maedoc to the world, make him more a part of his family (not necessarily a good thing for him!) and help the world stand better on its own. Like so many things in writing and in life: necessary, but not necessarily fun at the time.
In the meanwhile, there will be much find and replace. So much find and replace.
Well and good. As a fantasy writer, though, I usually have to approach the question from the other direction: what (if anything) makes magic distinguishable from technology? Is it just a different kind of science, a matter of formulae and experimentation? Is it part of the fabric of the universe (or worse, midichlorians)? Is it an element of special souls? Of words? Of music? Is it woven into objects and made permanent, or is it ephemeral? If it's any or all of those things, how magical is it? How does it defy expectations, and when should it fulfill them?
Well-written magic makes fantasy stories shine. Poorly-written or poorly-conceived magic can keep stories dull. Magic is an easy place to go astray. It's too easy to slip towards a gaming conception of magic: wizards (and maybe priests) casts spells that mostly do big, obvious things—quantifiable things. There's a spell for healing. A spell for fireballs. A spell for turning an orc into a newt. There's not much magical about that, especially if you steal D&D's Vancian fire-and-forget approach.
Broadly speaking, magic's qualities depend on where you put it—the mind, the soul, the world, divinity, or in things.
Dungeons & Dragons: I cast magic missile at the darkness.
The early Dungeons & Dragons took its inspiration for magic from the works of Jack Vance. Vancian wizards basically wrote spells in their brain in some metaphysical equivalent to temporary tattoos. Casting a spell took it out of their minds. (Zelazny's second Amber series uses a similar approach to "hanging" spells.) There was little fuss in D&D about where the magic came from. It was just sort of out there…unless you're playing a cleric, in which case it behaves with identical rules but the power source is your deity of choice. It isn't until you get into the higher levels of magic that the rules begin to bend away from a patchwork of the quasi-mundane.
In Brust's work, magic is a series of tricks of the mind. You can manipulate energy directly (pre-Empire sorcery), through something called the Imperial Orb (sorcery), or through symbols (witchcraft). The energy is out there to be manipulated. Some characters have genetic predisposition to certain kinds of magic (particularly pre-Empire sorcery), but most can be learned by people with the resources to get training. Mostly, magic does what the plot needs it to do; hardly anything is codified. The interesting thing about the Dragaera books is that magic is pervasive. Brust has incorporated many of the little things you'd expect magicians to be doing that are often left out of other settings (keeping track of time, warming up coffee). Magic is not mysterious until the gods get involved (and Brust's gods roughly approximate entities that are just really, really good at magic).
Tolkien's an interesting case. Instances of D&D-esque spellcasting are few and far between—Gandalf throwing lightning in the goblin caves, spells of opening and closing in Moria. Magic in Middle Earth instead comes in two broad forms: that which inheres in artifacts, and that which moves men's wills. Artifacts, from the Rings of Power to Sting, are the products of knowledge. It's secret knowledge, too, often described as "cunning" in usage that echoes the Norse and Germanic myths that inspired Professor Tolkien. Those cunning elves (and much more rarely men or dwarves) discover secrets.
Tolkien's relation of magic to divinity and influence on men's wills is more idiosyncratic. I don't recall anything quite like it. Yes, the Witch-King of Angmar knows spells. He's deadly, though, because his will works on his enemies. The Nazgul are terrifying beyond reason. Saruman's voice eats away at his listeners' resistance. Gandalf and Aragorn are pillars of strength that prop up everybody around them. It's metaphysical rather than psychological, some quality that seems to belong to certain great souls. I feel perfectly reasonable calling it magic.
The Earthsea books feature my favorite writing of magic. Wizards use magic mostly to do the things people would want it to do in a low-technology setting: mend pots, cure goats' infected udders, conjure wind for ships. Unlike Brust's stories, though, this is the main function of wizards. (LeGuin isn't dealing with Dragaera's hierarchies, mind.) The magic itself relies on true names, the language of the making of the world. In one sense, it's not far removed from the cunning of Tolkien's artificers—there are secrets that a prepared mind can use to influence reality. The power of those secrets, though, manifests in words, especially spoken words. Magic is a dialogue with creation. That's what makes it so convincing to read.
For Ghosts of the Old City, my model of magic is probably closest to Brust's. Maedoc does magic (a bit)—it's a manipulation of finite energies that he couples with a family talent for seeing dead people. I muck things up by including alchemy on the side. Alchemy's my "speed of plot" bit of magic, one that I use sparingly and mostly for patching up my busted protagonists. Importantly, alchemy is necessary for making permanent changes. If the fabric of reality is a bedsheet, magic can put wrinkles in it. The greatest wizards with access to the right sources of energy might be able to fold it. It takes alchemy, though, to make any stitches. Eventually, even the greatest magic-forged wrinkles and folds will lapse back towards flatness. That combination lets me have magic do flashy things when I need it to without worrying about the complications of people running around with magic flamethrowers. Hopefully, it keeps the magic suitably magical…you know, distinguishable from technology.


As most of you Aussie's already, it's finally winter!!! Which means freezing temperatures of about 20 degrees (just kidding, but not really).

With upgradation of technology, many brands have introduced cell phones with low cost and maximum features. The increasing usage of internet and high volumes of data demands high processing speeds in computers and phones. This influences demand for the global dynamic random access memory market.
Today, every smartphone has several mobile applications that run on internet and at the same time handle different forms of data like images, videos, and music. To ensure devices do not hang while storing or processing large volumes of data, dynamic random access memory is needed. This augments demand in the global dynamic random access memory market.
At the same time, the growth in use of computers in governments and corporates is a positive. Most of the corporate world has migrated to digital media and requires computers. This trend is only expected to move north in the future, thus propelling demand in the global dynamic random access memory market.
Asia Pacific will emerge as the leader of the global dynamic access memory market. The per capita income of people in developing economies like India and China are rising over the past few years. This has increased the purchasing power, thus creating demand for smart phones and other connected devices. At the same time, penetration of internet and support from government in digitizing several state processes are expected to spell growth for the global dynamic random access memory market. Economic development also opens opportunities jobs and improved educational infrastructure, thus creating demand for the product.
North America and Europe will continue to maintain the momentum. The developed internet infrastructure will sustain demand for smartphones and computers, thus positively affecting the global dynamic random access memory market.

Leigh Halfpenny vows to overcome 'challenge' of knee ligament injury
The full-back will undergo surgery after being hurt against Canada.
Wales full-back Leigh Halfpenny hopes past experience will help him 'overcome the challenge' of a season-ending knee injury.
The Welsh Rugby Union confirmed that Halfpenny would require surgery after suffering a knee ligament problem in Wales' 68-12 victory over Canada on Saturday.
He is sidelined for Wales' remaining summer Tests – two Principality Stadium appointments with Argentina – and the WRU added that further assessments would "determine his long-term prognosis and management".

Halfpenny, who missed the 2015 World Cup with a cruciate ligament injury, was hurt during the opening minutes of his 100th Test match for Wales and the British and Irish Lions.

Kasper Schmeichel asks if football has ever been home ahead of Euro 2020 semi
A trophy would make Gareth Southgate and England players special: Glenn Hoddle
Writing on Twitter, he said: "Today I received the news I feared that I suffered a knee ligament injury against Canada on Saturday that requires surgery.
"Hard to put into words how I'm feeling right now.
"Tough one to take, especially on such a proud day for myself and my family. Whilst it's a setback, I look forward to overcoming this challenge and making a return to the game I love as soon as possible.
"I've got a lot more I want to achieve and having come back from a similar situation before I've every confidence I'll be back out there."
Wales assistant coach Stephen Jones backed the 32-year-old to bounce back.
"It was a tough one for everyone concerned," Jones said.
"The guy is a fantastic professional, a class act. The standards he sets in the environment, and how he pushes things forward, he is ambitious to improve all the time.
"It was a special milestone for a guy who has worked incredibly hard and had an amazing career and has still got international rugby ahead of him. To have to leave the pitch so soon was unfair on him.
"One thing about Leigh is he is mentally tough. He will do everything in his control to make sure he recovers and comes back as soon as he can.
"He is a superb professional, he will tick every box from that perspective, and it will be nice to have him back with us as soon as we can."
Dragons wing Jonah Holmes moved to full-back following Halfpenny's exit, capping an impressive contribution by scoring two tries.
He is likely to be in head coach Wayne Pivac's thoughts for the full-back role against Argentina this weekend, although fellow squad members Hallam Amos, Ioan Lloyd and Owen Lane are also potential candidates.
Wales have won their last four Tests against Argentina, but they are without 10 Lions players and will encounter a buoyant team.
Jones added: "It is a great test. We are playing against a physical side, a side who are off a victory over New Zealand and two drawn games against Australia in Australia, so they will be feeling good about themselves.
"It doesn't change for us. We are back in the stadium with a crowd, with an excellent group who are desperate to prove their value to the coaching group and are desperate for success, so it's a great situation for us."

Jones meanwhile, confirmed Cardiff fly-half Jarrod Evans was available for the Argentina clash following an injury, increasing options in that position alongside Callum Sheedy and Ben Thomas.
"Callum is a great ball player when it comes to attacking the line, and Jarrod is the same," Jones said.
"They are both great attacking threats, and young Ben, who ran out at number 10 (against Canada).
"They've got great skill-sets where they can ask questions of defences. That is how we want to play the game, and we are blessed in that position."

If I just try to grab Feature 81 (model.feature_importances_[81]), I get:0.051136363. However model.feature_importances_.argmax() returns 72.
Any idea why these two methods give me qualitatively different results?
