How can I write better lyrics? Keep in mind that if you are walking in Commencement, you will not receive your official diploma at the ceremony. Can I find out how many transfer credits I am eligible for before I apply to the degree program? If you are interested in applying to the Bachelor of Professional Studies degree program and would like an estimate of the amount of transfer credit you would receive, you can request an unofficial transfer evaluation by emailing a copy of your transcript s to the Berklee Online Transfer Team at transfer online.
Be sure to include your name, major of interest, and any additional questions you may have. You can expect to receive your assessment within business days. What should I do? The earlier you contact us with questions or concerns regarding your evaluation, the easier it will be for us to address any issues. Therefore, it is very important when you first receive your official transfer evaluation that you review the information carefully. If none of those exclusions apply, please fill out a Transfer Credit Equivalency Re-evaluation form for the courses you wish to have reconsidered.
Sometimes, we are not able to locate specific information for a course online and we are not able to determine an equivalency, but we are always happy to review additional material which will help us make that determination. No, credits completed at Berklee or through the prior learning process do not count towards the 60 transfer credit limit.
This maximum is for credit-bearing exams and undergraduate-level coursework completed externally. What is a credit deficiency and why do I need to make up credit? Credit deficiencies are caused by transferring a course that is less than three 3 credits to fulfill a three 3 credit Berklee Online requirement.
Students with a credit deficiency will be short of the minimum number of credits required to graduate once they have completed their program requirements. In order to be eligible to graduate, you will need to make up the credits you are deficient in. While the Transfer Team does their best to avoid giving students credit deficiencies, it is not always possible. You can make up the credits you are deficient in by completing additional Berklee Online coursework, by applying for prior learning credit, or by completing additional external coursework in the area in which you are deficient.
Note all external courses will first need to be approved by the Transfer Team. Generally, transfer credit cannot be used to fulfill prerequisites unless we determine that the course you completed is a direct equivalent to one of the courses we offer at Berklee Online. Keep in mind that there are some courses which require you to pass a placement exam. For these you will need to achieve a passing grade on the test to fulfill the prerequisite, otherwise you will need to complete the appropriate Berklee Online course.
Can I transfer credits to Berklee Online after I have started the degree program? To determine if the coursework you already completed or are considering taking is eligible to fulfill your remaining degree requirements, contact the Transfer Team at transfer online.
I am a Berklee campus student. Can I transfer courses from Berklee Online to my campus-based program? Are Berklee Online courses transferable to other institutions? Berklee Online is regionally accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, the same association that accredits our main campus and other leading academic institutions such as Harvard University and MIT.
We recommend getting a course pre-approved by an institution before enrolling. Moreover, a recent study revealed that the average annual tuition at for-profit colleges is more than twice as expensive as Berklee Online. How much does a certificate program cost?

Both programs are comprised of 12 three-credit courses that can be taken during four week semesters. The cost for an individual course includes the tuition fee.

Paris: External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj arrived in Italy on Sunday as part of her first official visit to the country.
Swaraj was received by Indian ambassador to Italy Reenat Sandhu at the airport.
During her visit, Swaraj will call on Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, and will meet her Italian counterpart Enzo Moavero Milanesi, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, according to the External Affairs Ministry.
Both leaders are expected to review bilateral relations between the two countries.
From Italy, Swaraj will depart for France, where she is expected to meet Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Jean-Yves Le Drian.
Her visit comes at a time when both nations are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their strategic partnership.
While in Paris, Swaraj will be the Chief Guest at the naming ceremony of the Indian Culture Centre and also interact with the Indian community.
Later on, Swaraj will be visiting Luxembourg from June 19-20, marking the 70th year of establishment of Diplomatic Relations between the two countries.


Xiaomi took the world by surprise when it announced the launch of the Xiaomi Mi A1. Now the device is available for pre-booking through the official website and also through Flipkart. You can head straight to the links provided and pre-book your device. The sale will start on 12th Sep, at 12PM.
And if you are planning to buy one, before you go ahead register for the sales, spend a couple of minutes and find out what are our top 5 reasons, and why you should buy the Xiaomi Mi A1.
Xiaomi Mi A1 flaunts a sturdy metal unibody with well-rounded corners and stylishly tapered edges, etched out of a single block of aluminum.
The glass front featuring 2.5D Gorilla Glass blends smoothly with edges encasing the 5.5-inch full-HD, LCD display giving it a smooth finish and a sleek look.
Xiaomi's first Android One powered device offers a great mix of powerful hardware and some slick Android experience. While the experience would be top-notch, the Mi A1 will receive software updates and security patches in time.
The updates, however, won't come from Google directly and Xiaomi would be tweaking them to work best for the hardware they have offered with the device.
Xiaomi claims that Mi A1 will be upgraded to Android Oreo by the end of 2017.
Xiaomi claims that Mi A1 will be upgraded to Android Oreo by the end of 2017. It doesn't end there as the company also promised that it will be one of the first Xiaomi phones to get Android P, whenever it's launched.
The Mi A1 is one of the very few devices in the sub Rs 15,000 price range to offer a solid dual camera setup.
The combination of a 12-megapixel wide angle lens and a 12-megapixel telephoto lens would let you capture brilliant pictures with DSLR-like bokeh effect, quite similar to the recently launched OnePlus 5.
The 1.25-micron large pixels of the image sensors result in more light intake and thus offer a better image quality. And with the 2X optical zoom, it is possible to capture object from a distance with ease.
With the Pure Android experience, the Mi A1 essentially would come free of any bloatware apps.
With no bloatware, the device is bound to deliver great performance. Such apps, make the device laggy and result in battery drain as well.
What you can expect is a zero fuss, lag-free experience with the Mi Ai. And as an added bonus, all the new apps coming from Google would be made available on this device, since it is part of the Google Experience.
The Mi Ai gets a dedicated 10V audio amplifier tuned with Dirac HD Sound algorithm and supports high-quality headphones of up to 600Ω impedance.

This was the first real nice box that I have created. This was based on one piece of highly figured cherry. I am very critical of mixing wood species in a project. For this project I choose quarter sawn cherry. This way the highly figured wood would not fight with the consistent look of the quarter sawn wood.
This was also the first time I had built a box with mitered corners. These were cut on the table saw and ended up perfect.
The hinges are really nice Brusso 95 degree hinges, so the top when open .
This was made as a solid box and then the top was cut off on the table saw. You have to remember to account for the 1/8″ saw blade width.
I was very pleased with the construction and joinery. The construction pictures tell the story in the comments.

The poetry of J.H. Prynne has recently come to the attention of an international set of poets and literary theorists. This interest has developed into a recent edition of Jacket, a festschrift from Quid, as well as the publication of many essays dedicated to the critical analysis of his work. This attention has coincided with the release of his updated collected work, Poems, and, coincidentally, with Prynne's retirement from a teaching position at the University of Cambridge and as Fellow Librarian at Gonville and Caius College.
The attention that the rerelease of Poems has incited is due partially to a growing awareness of contemporary British Poetry, and marks the first time that Prynne's poetry has been made widely available outside of the small press publications of Cambridge. Further marginalising Prynne from a mainstream audience is the fact that his poetry is some of the most complex and linguistically innovative to be released in recent years. The pursuit of and representation of meaning, are two of Prynne's main initiatives and have led his readers to actively pursue his texts, sources, and ultimately the development of new ways of interpreting poetry and poetic language.
The Bloodaxe/Fremantle Arts Centre Press version of Poems has been released in two volumes. The first, in 1999, includes the majority of Prynne's poetry collated from the last three decades, building on the 1982 release. Poems represents a comprehensive collection, with the exception of Force of Circumstance and Other Poems (1962), which were written in a more traditional linear poetics, and which Prynne chose not to include.
Prynne has also published a wide range of critical analysis and academic prose. His academic works include a monograph on Saussure, Stars, Tigers and the Shape of Words, a book length commentary on Wordsworth, Field Notes: 'The Solitary Reaper' and others, and an analysis of Shakespeare's Sonnet 94, They That Haue Powre to Hurt; A Specimen of a Commentary. His essay on the development of Chinese poetry from the Han Dynasty appeared in New Songs from a Jade Terrace, in 1982.
The transcript from Prynne's 1971 lectures on Olson's Maximus Poems presented at Simon Fraser University has been widely circulated and has been reprinted by the Charles Olson Society. His status as an academic has slowly caught up with his mythological status as the hermetic poet-don of Cambridge University. Prynne's reputation as a literary outsider has also added to the lore, and can be seen as reflective of Edward Dorn's reputation in American poetry; a poet with whom Prynne had a long-standing correspondence, and to whom the latest edition of Poems is dedicated.
The poetic traditions out of which Prynne is writing are typically contrasted against the lineage of Whitman, Wordsworth, Celan, Bunting, Pound, Olson, and Dorn, all of whom have had a major influence on the development of Prynne's poetics. Prynne's work during the 1970's is detailed by the development of a late-modernist poetics. For the sake of a singular definition this essay will focus on the term as defined by Anthony Mellors, the British literary theorist.
Mellors defines late-modernism as it developed out of the ideas of 1930's modernism and details the changes induced by the rejection of subjective rationalism and mysticism that were being purported as poetic devices capable of creating a universalising system of self-expression.2 A typical characteristic of a Prynne poem contextualises the subjective in a fragmented form and strands him at the periphery of the communicative framework. Prynne forces subjective instances of remembrance and communication towards indeterminacy. Late-modernist poetics represent a resistance to the singular expression of the self, which is based on a denial of early modernist narrative traditions.
This ideal developed simultaneously on both sides of the Atlantic, though in oppositional strains. The American model, most easily recognised in the L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E Poetry tradition, 'espouses a dynamic notion of the objective and seeks radical formal methods, but often undemonstrative diction, to embody it.'3 In Britain, the development of late-modernist poetics was focused around the often mislabelled 'Cambridge School', a group of writers who engaged with contemporary philosophy within their poems, and focused on the materiality of language and the functional use of poetics as a discourse for the expression of philosophical, scientific and political concepts.
The poetry which developed during the British Poetry Revival, and for which The English Intelligencer and the Grosseteste Review were particularly noted, provided a staunch resistance to the conservative mainstream of the British Poetry of the 1960's. For Prynne, the poetry which was created in this late-modernist period, beginning notably with the release of Brass in 1971, obfuscates the nominative perspective of the self, thus creating a paratactic and polyvalent identity, representative of many fragments and defined by a constant conflict of information.
The overlay of images and thoughts preclude the reading of a consistent series of ideas and forces the reader to dissect frameworks of definition so as to make cognisant the tacit knowledge of the poem. The overlaying matrices of information which typify the formal structure of Prynne's poetry signal the necessity of connecting each word's outlying referential sources to breach the meaning of language as it is used within the poem. The poetic images of Prynne can, if not fully, be partially unveiled through unearthing the sequences of the naturally occurring interconnections and polyvalent elements in such images.
The complexity of Prynne's work is the result of his ambiguous representation of life as a conflux of images and lexical arrangements. Poet and critical theorist Veronica Forrest-Thompson asserts that, 'the constant movement from one implied external context to another does not allow consistent development of image-complexes over several lines; they appear momentarily only to disappear again.'4 Prynne's lexical, historical, scientific, philosophic and poetic references add to the obfuscation of a singular identity within the poem.
The proposition of reading a text with this multifaceted complexity forces the reader into a structural analysis of history, time, etymology, transcendental philosophy, prosody and the overlaying sources which compromise the authority of the written text. Each of Prynne's poems resist cohesive exaction and align themselves within the possibilities of expression.
Prynne's late-modernist writing places itself at the cusp of transgressional traditional representations of knowledge and creates from the poem an open field of inquiry. Adorno states that: 'form [is] the sediment of content'; and in a separate argument that, 'form seeks to bring the particular to speech through the whole'.6 These statements replicate Olson and Creely's thought, that 'form is never more than an extension of content,'7 and thereby an examination of this form can produce meaning.
For Prynne, the meaning of any given text is defined through examination and reflection by the reader on his or her relation to the world. It is not the physical form, but the relation the author establishes with the external world which formally situates the subjective, and defines the text. Early on, Prynne defined this intent: 'It has been my own aspiration, for example, to establish relations not personally with the reader, but with the world and its layers of shifted but recognisable usages; and thereby with the reader's own position within this world'.8 This assertion argues that beyond the relatively static sphere of informational derived analysis and the self-generative criticism of a number of Cambridge based critics, there is a relation established between the reader and the poem.
It is the basis of this relation upon which the establishment of Prynne's poetic rests. The reader is given the task of establishing an influential portion of the text, and uncovering the references codified and coexisting within their reading of the poem and the contextual, socio-historical references which constitute and define the object of study.9 It is my obvious contention that to begin to understand Prynne, one needs to work at it, with some rigour: assiduously reading and rereading lines, words and phrases until units of coherence start to form. Readers should be asked to side with Reeve and Kerridge, who ask us to 'read on, beyond the sense of impasse'10 and expect moments of severe frustration as ideal and even necessary.

Home SPORTS Leicester City to pay £30m for Newcastle striker
Leicester City to pay £30m for Newcastle striker
Leicester City have agreed to pay £30m to Premier League rivals Newcastle for striker Ayoze Perez.
The 25-year-old, who scored 12 league goals last season to help the Magpies avoid relegation, will discuss personal terms with the Foxes.
The Spaniard joined Newcastle from Tenerife for £1.5m in 2014.
Perez would become Brendan Rodgers' second signing of the summer, following the acquisition of defender James Justin from Luton.
Perez played in all but one of Newcastle's Premier League matches in 2018-19 and he has been the club's top scorer in all competitions in each of the last two seasons.
In all he has scored 48 times for the north east club in 195 appearances.
Newcastle are currently searching for a new manager following the departure of Rafael Benitez, who took over at Chinese side Dalian Yifang on Tuesday.

They could have given any other number, and it would have been just as believable and relevant. How does $5.6 trillion sound? Bit heavy, let's do $3.8 trillion. Adjust your models accordingly. And then let's play a round of golf.
The IMF also pointed to the low volatility term structure for the S&P 500, suggesting equities also may be underpricing the risk of higher volatility in the future. It's these concerns that have led the Federal Reserve to increase their communication to the public, through quarterly press conferences as well as interest-rate and economic forecasts. Observers both inside and outside the Fed expect the first rate hike to occur in the middle of 2015. But there remains considerable debate over the pace of subsequent hikes. Meanwhile, while the IMF warned about the Fed lifting interest rates, they also note the risks of the Fed and other central banks keeping rates low for so long. The IMF pointed out that asset price appreciation, spread compression and record low volatility have occurred simultaneously across broad asset classes and countries.
Put 'em up, Calamity Janet.
A prolonged period of ultra-low interest rates poses the threat of a fresh financial crisis by encouraging excessive risk taking on global markets, the International Monetary Fund has said. The Washington-based IMF said that more than half a decade in which official borrowing costs have been close to zero had encouraged speculation rather than the hoped-for pick up in investment. In its half-yearly global financial stability report, it said the risks to stability no longer came from the traditional banks but from the so-called shadow banking system – institutions such as hedge funds, money market funds and investment banks that do not take deposits from the public.
At last. Let's get some real prices.
The headline for much of this year has been that home price gains are easing. Prices are still higher compared to last year, but not nearly as much as they had been. Now, suddenly, it looks as if home values could actually go negative on a national level. "That will be the first time collectively, as a nation, we've seen prices drop since the low point or the trough of the housing crisis," said Alex Villacorta, vice president of research and analytics at data firm Clear Capital. Villacorta points to a 1% quarterly home price gain from the second to the third quarter of this year. Last year that quarterly gain was 3%. "The discouraging thing about that is, yes, we're still in the positive, but that 1% has been waning from that three%, and this comes after what should have been the most active buying season in the housing market for the summer that just ended," he added.
The West, which has some of the largest metropolitan markets in the nation, has seen a huge drop in distressed sales, as fewer properties go to foreclosure. At their peak in 2009, just over half of all sales in the West were of distressed properties; today that share is just over 12%, according to Clear Capital. Investors, consequently, are moving on to other markets in the South and Midwest, where there are still bargains to be had. The West is therefore seeing sharper drops in home price appreciation. "And that is why the West is really that leading indicator, the canary in the coal mine, because as the West goes, both on the downturn and in the recovery,we've seen the rest of the country go as well," said Villacorta.
Pretty useless 'analysis'. Is Saudi battling America? I wouldn't be so sure. There might be something else going on.
With oil prices tumbling — and dragging gasoline prices at U.S. pumps further below $4 a gallon — investors wonder if Saudi Arabia will cut production in an effort to stop the slide. Don't count on it. In a note, commodity strategists led by Seth Kleinman at Citi argue that the Saudis aren't likely to throttle back output, in part because they apparently "think that they can win any price war" with U.S. shale producers. In other words, Saudi producers are playing a long game, confident that "full cycle" shale production costs are considerably more than their own. As Julian Jessop, head of commodities at Capital Economics points out, there is precedent. Saudi Arabia responded to a glut of non-OPEC oil in the latter half of the 1980s by increasing its own output, successfully eroding the profitability of other producers, including those in the North Sea, he said.
Oil futures remained under pressure Wednesday, with the price of light, sweet crude for November delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange falling $1.54, or 1.7%, to $87.31 a barrel, hitting the lowest price for a most-active contract since April 2013 after data showed a further rise in U.S. crude supplies. ICE November Brent crude futures fell 58 cents, or 0.6%, to $91.53 a barrel, setting a two-year low. Saudi Arabia earlier this month cut the official selling price for its crude, according to news reports, a move that put additional pressure on oil prices at the time. The Citi analysts say the Saudis might be right to think they can win a price war, but only up to a point.
What if they built a pipeline and nobody came?
When it comes to oil, U.S. is king. Discoveries in North Dakota and Texas have pushed American oil production past Saudi Arabia and Russia this year. The new supplies have boosted the economy and dialed down the price of oil everywhere – gasoline at $3 a gallon anyone? The price of oil has fallen so low it's threatening the feasibility of controversial and expensive drilling projects proposed in the Canadian Oil Sands and the Arctic. West Texas Intermediate, the U.S. benchmark for crude, is going for less than $90 a barrel. That's approaching the break-even point for profitability at many of the very wells driving the American oil boom.
"If prices go to $80 or lower, which I think is possible, then we are going to see a reduction in drilling activity," Ralph Eads, vice chairman and global head of energy investment banking at Jefferies LLC, told Bloomberg News reporter Isaac Arnsdorf. "It will be uncharted territory." At the current price of about $87 a barrel, cheap American crude undercuts many of the most aggressive oil projects under consideration by the oil majors. About $1.1 trillion of capital expenditures have been earmarked through 2025 for projects that require a market price of more than $95 a barrel, according to a May study by the Carbon Tracker Initiative, a London-based think tank and environmental advocacy group.
Is China about to devalue? The question seems to pop up everywhere I go – most recently in Frankfurt, Sydney and New York. Economists here in Tokyo, too, are buzzing about the chances of a big decline in the yuan in the next few months. A new report from Lombard Street Research explains why all these folks may have reason for concern. According to London-based Charles Dumas, China's slowdown will soon drag down gross domestic product growth below 5% (whether Beijing admits it or not). Dumas joins long-time Asia investor Marc Faber in thinking China will find itself in the 4% range by year end. A continued downtrend, Dumas says, would represent "a major, slow-motion shock for the world economy and financial markets" that will slam everything from commodities to growth rates from Japan to Germany.
Growth significantly below Beijing's 7.5% target also complicates President Xi Jinping's efforts to shift China to a services-based economy from an export-and-investment-led one. The obvious solution: a weaker exchange rate that boosts exports and thus buys Xi time to recalibrate growth drivers. While Chinese leaders aren't dropping clear hints of a devaluation, it's a logical next step. Even before the 2008 global crisis, Lombard Street says, capital spending in China had already reached an unsustainable 42% of GDP. Then the regime responded to the crisis with an unprecedented investment surge, beginning with a $651 billion stimulus package in 2009. By the end of that year, capital spending had jumped to 48% – where it remained until last year. It's simply not possible for an economy that carries a consumer-spending ratio of about 36% to thrive long-term with an investment ratio on the cusp of 50%.
Since the crisis, Chinese corporate debt has also reached $14.2 trillion, topping that of the U.S., according to Standard & Poor's. Recently, China's central bank set out to measure activity in China's $6 trillion shadow banking industry, implying that officials worry it's even bigger than we know. And while estimates of the true size of liabilities facing local governments differ widely, roughly $1.65 trillion of their debt is already held by major banks, including Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and China Construction Bank. Borrowing more to gin up growth isn't an option for a highly-indebted developing nation. Debt must be reduced.
Ambrose wants you to spend! He also says France will overtake Germany soon because of the birthrate.
The German economy has already stalled. Output contracted in the second quarter. Factory orders fell 5.7pc in August. Germany's "Five Wise Men" council of economic experts will slash the country's growth forecast to 1.2pc next year in a report on Friday. Prof Fratzscher accuses Germany's elites of losing the plot in every important respect. Investment has fallen from 23pc to 17pc of GDP since the early 1990s. Net public investment has been negative for 12 years. Growth has averaged 1.1pc since the beginning of the decade, placing Germany 13th out of 18 in the eurozone (or 156th out of 166 countries worldwide over the past 20 years). This chronic weakness been masked by slightly better growth since the Lehman crisis, and by the creditor-debtor dynamics of the EMU debt crisis. German looks healthy only because half of Europe looks deathly. The Hartz IV reforms – so widely praised as the foundation of German competitiveness, and now being foisted on southern Europe – did not raise productivity, the proper measure of labour reform.
Data from the OECD show that German productivity growth slumped to 0.3pc a year in the period from 2007 to 2012, compared with 0.5pc in Denmark, 0.7pc in Austria, 0.9pc in Japan, 1.3pc in Australia, 1.5pc in the US and 3.2pc in Korea. Britain has been negative, of course, but that is no benchmark. Prof Fratzscher says the chief effect was to let companies compress wages through labour arbitrage. Real pay has fallen back to the levels of the late 1990s. The legacy of Hartz IV is a lumpen-proletariat of 7.4m people on "mini-jobs", part-time work that is tax-free up to €450. This flatters the jobless rate, but Germany has become a split society, more unequal than at any time in its modern history. A fifth of German children are raised in poverty. Philippe Legrain, a former top economist at the European Commission, says Germany's "beggar-thy-neighbour economic model" works by suppressing wages to subsidise exports, to the benefit of corporate elites. This is "dysfunctional", and the more that EU officials try to extend the model across the eurozone, the more dangerous it becomes.
The numbers keep coming in bad.
German exports slumped the most since January 2009 in the latest sign Europe's largest economy is struggling to rebound from its second-quarter contraction. Exports dropped 5.8% in August, after a 4.8% increase in July, the Federal Statistics Office in Wiesbaden said today. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg News predicted a decline of 4%. While the typically volatile data was influenced by the timing of German school holidays in late summer, it still depicts an economy that is stumbling as the euro-area recovery grinds to a halt. The European Central Bank has added unprecedented stimulus to try to revive inflation and economic growth in the 18-nation currency bloc.
German imports declined 1.3% in August, after dropping 1.4% in July, today's report showed. The country's trade surplus narrowed to €14.1 billion ($18 billion) from a record €23.5 billion. The current account surplus shrank to €10.3 billion from €20.1 billion. German gross domestic product fell 0.2% in the three months through June. Data earlier this week showed factory orders and industrial production each declined by the most since January 2009 in August.
Power battle between France and Germany.
Hollande and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi want the European Union to use flexibility in its budget rules in the face of slowing growth and are pushing for the bloc to spend more creating jobs for the one in five young people who are out of work. Currently €6 billion has been set aside for the issue in 2014 and 2015. "I'd like to see more by 2020," Hollande said. "If Europe can't provide opportunities for the young, then people will turn away from Europe," he said. France and Italy are also under pressure as lack of growth distances them from deficit-cutting commitments made earlier in the year. France now expects its budget deficit to rise this year for the first time in half a decade and doesn't see the shortfall shrinking to the EU limit of 3% of gross domestic product before 2017. Italy has pushed back its plan to achieve a structural balance to next year from this year.
After lobbying for more EU spending on job creation on the way into yesterday's meeting, Hollande echoed Merkel's view that existing funds must spent first as he sat alongside her at the press conference afterward. "I'd like to see more by 2020, I've spoken of €20 billion, but before we must see these sums are spent," he said. "We need simplification and speeding up of this disbursement." Euro-area countries including France and Italy have until Oct. 15 to submit their 2015 budgets to the European Commission under the region's fiscal rules. The commission will have to then judge their plans and decide whether governments have made sufficient efforts or need to be prodded to do more. The 3% limit was "conceived more than 20 years ago, in a different world," Renzi said. "I respect the decisions of other countries such as France today or Germany in the past with a different government to breach the limit," adding that Italy will meet its target all the same to bolster its credibility.
Mario Draghi's policy tools are being blunted in Berlin. The European Central Bank president has stopped short of large-scale sovereign-bond purchases as efforts to mollify Germany's political elite do little to silence criticism of his ever-more expansionary measures. Support for anti-euro groups such as Alternative for Germany has risen and the ECB's latest plan to buy assets sparked an outcry within all major parties. "German public opinion matters an awful lot," said Anatoli Annenkov, senior economist at Societe Generale SA in London. "Draghi wants the ECB to be a central bank like any other, one that can go and buy government debt. But he's perfectly aware of Germany's opposition, and the storm now is a clear signal that it'll be much more difficult." Draghi may be pressured at the International Monetary Fund meetings in Washington this week to take further measures to revive the 18-nation currency bloc's recovery.
That won't be easy in the face of a German aversion to quantitative easing that is rooted in the 1920s, when money-printing laid the foundation for a society that still fears rising prices more than deflation. The debate over sovereign-debt purchases will be raised again on Oct. 14 when the European Union's highest court hears arguments about the ECB's still-unused OMT program. Germany's Federal Constitutional Court has already expressed doubts about the legality of the two-year-old pledge to buy bonds of stressed countries after a challenge by a German lawmaker and a group of academics.
The German 'Strongman' went home. And he's going to stay there.
This week's disappointing German manufacturing data are the latest sign the "strongman" of Europe is weakening, in what could mark a worrying turn for the rest of Europe. Tuesday's industrial output numbers for Germany missed forecasts, with production slowing by 4% month-on-month in August. German factory orders, out on Monday, also showed a steep—and unexpected—decline. "The data from Germany is persistently dreadful," said Societe Generale's Kit Juckes in a note on Wednesday. The warning comes after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) cut Germany's growth outlook for this year and next on Tuesday. It now sees the economy growing by 1.4% in 2014 and 1.5% in 2015. This is better than the euro zone average, but below peers like the U.K., where the economy is expected to expand by 3.2% this year and 2.7% next.
Here we take a look at some of the reasons why Germany could be losing its economic clout: France has criticized Germany for hoarding cash rather than using it to stimulate domestic demand, which could help boost growth throughout the euro zone. "Germany must fulfil its responsibilities," French Prime Minister Manuel Valls declared at a policy meeting last month. Now, some economists say the zealous fiscal prudence exercised by Chancellor Angela Merkel and colleagues is harming Germany, as well as its neighbors. "The figures should provide something of a wake-up call to those in the German government still resisting calls to loosen the fiscal reins and provide the euro zone's biggest economy with more support," said Jonathan Loynes, chief European economist at Capital Economics, in a note on Wednesday.
Sure, let's turn to the rich to solve our problems.
One of France's leading businessmen has admitted the economy is 'under pressure' and lashed out against high taxes. Henri Proglio is the chairman and chief executive of EDF, the French energy giant with more than 150,000 employees worldwide. He was speaking as EDF received approval from the EU for its nuclear power plants at Hinkley Point in Somerset. Brussels revealed the price of the work has risen to £24.5billion from the projected £16billion once debt financing is included. It could rise to as high as £34billion in a worst-case scenario. Proglio's comments on the French economy come only days after John Lewis boss Andy Street said that France was 'finished' because it is 'sclerotic, hopeless and downbeat'.
I'm bad, but you're worse.
France's economy may be doing badly but Germany's energy sector is a "disaster", the head of French state-owned energy company EDF has said. Henri Proglio, EDF chief executive, acknowledged his country was "in a poor situation" and "under pressure". But he said different industries should be considered in their own right, highlighting the German energy sector, where the country's phase-out of nuclear power and drive for renewables has severely damaged its two biggest companies. "When it comes to energy they are in a disaster. Their two major companies – E.On and RWE – are under huge pressure. One is more or less dead, the other one is in a very difficult situation," he said. By contrast, he said EDF was doing "quite well" and the French aerospace industry was "number one in the world".
Mr Proglio was speaking after his company was granted EU state aid approval to build Britain's first new nuclear plant in a generation at Hinkley Point in Somerset. "It's too easy to say today France is doing bad, because it's obvious," he said, adding attention should focus on "how can you make it better". "On the fiscal point of view, France, in my view, made some bad choices for a few years. Over-taxation is very negative for the country," he said. "On the other hand, we have some very good companies." Mr Proglio said it was "very important to consider industry as a key driver for growth". "You have to force a country to make some improvements in overheads, public overheads and to drive more investment." Earlier this week French Prime Minister Manuel Valls admitted the country's economic growth had been in "long breakdown" but insisted that his government was "pro-business".
Paul Massara, the head of RWE's UK supply business npower, did attack the Hinkley Point subsidy deal, suggesting it was poor value for consumers. "We recognise the need for Britain to have modern, efficient energy infrastructure with a diverse mix of technologies, but this must happen at the lowest possible cost to the consumer. "We are concerned that today's decision around guaranteed revenue from new nuclear power stations in return for their delivery could force the next three generations of British consumers to pay unnecessarily high energy bills," he said.
If euro zone countries like France do not complete vital structural reforms, the currency union faces another "lost decade," Hans-Werner Sinn, president of the Munich-based Ifo Institute, told CNBC. Rather than the breakup of the single currency, Sinn warned that the euro zone will see another prolonged period of stagnation with weak growth unless countries can boost productivity and complete tough rebalancing programs. "We have already lost, under the euro, one decade because of these enormous capital flows into users in southern Europe which were not so productive and we will lose another decade if we don't act," he told CNBC on Thursday.
The euro zone's main problem over the last decade has been that savings have been shifted into southern European nations that have "eaten up" that capital rather than using it to increase productivity in their economies, he said. He now believes that struggling southern European nations should undergo painful devaluation in order for them to grow again. So, instead of continuing to borrow at low interest rates through the current period of low growth and low inflation, Sinn says that painful reforms need to be implemented. "If you take the pain anyway it won't happen," he said.
With unemployment numbers like Greece has, this sounds like nonsense.
Prime Minister Antonis Samaras said he aims to sever the international lifeline that has kept Greece afloat since 2010 by forgoing disbursements of emergency loans scheduled over the next two years. "We feel fully comfortable" that Greece can cover its financing needs from the bond markets in the coming years, Samaras, 63, said in an interview in Milan yesterday after a European Union summit. An improvement in public finances and low interest rates have emboldened Samaras, who said the Greek parliament will discuss the end of aid from the euro area and International Monetary Fund, which have granted the country €240 billion ($306 billion) in bailout loans, in a confidence-vote debate scheduled to run through tomorrow. Greek bonds are the best-performing securities in the Bloomberg indexes this year, having earned 20% through yesterday.
The yield on 10-year debt fell as low 5.52% on Sept. 8, the lowest since early 2010. Even after a sell off in the past month, that compares to a record high of 44% in March 2012, on the eve of the world's biggest-ever debt restructuring. Samaras's confidence contrasts with fellow euro-area and IMF officials, who insist Greece should retain access to bailout funds next year. The prevailing view among those officials is that Greece's market access remains fragile, according to two people directly involved in the negotiations. European Central Bank President Mario Draghi weighed into the debate last week, saying the country needs to remain in some kind of program for Greek banks' junk-rated asset-backed securities to be eligible for the ECB's ABS purchase program. The bailout loans came with belt-tightening conditions that exacerbated a six-year Greek recession, left more than a quarter of the workforce jobless and triggered a social backlash. Aid next year would also come with strings attached.
"A plan by the Swedish Bankers' Association to require borrowers to pay down new loans to 50% of property values may be enough". Sounds like trouble for borrowers.
Sweden's financial regulator may not push ahead with formal rules on amortization after the country's banks presented a proposal targeting a reduction in mortgage debt. A plan by the Swedish Bankers' Association to require borrowers to pay down new loans to 50% of property values may be enough, Martin Andersson, head of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, said yesterday in a phone interview. If banks "present a proposal that's very similar to what we ourselves think is a very good proposal it's absolutely a conceivable alternative," he said. Banks can implement such a plan quicker and it provides "the flexibility needed for particularly vulnerable households that for a period of time are unemployed, or sick, or whatever it may be that makes it hard to amortize," Andersson said.
Sweden is trying to stem an increase in private debt that has soared to record levels while protecting the most vulnerable households from new requirements. Finance Minister Magdalena Andersson, Riksbank Deputy Governor Cecilia Skingsley and Klas Danielsson, chief executive officer of state-owned bank SBAB, have urged policy makers to exempt some demographic groups from amortization requirements. The Bankers' Association this week proposed new guidelines that would force homeowners to pay down their mortgage debt to 50% of property values after lowering it to 70% from 75% in March. The group said it hopes the measure aimed at fostering a better amortization culture will prevent the regulator from introducing formal legislation.
Britain won EU approval for a new nuclear power plant in Somerset on Wednesday, allowing the government to commit to 35 years of financial support for Europe's biggest and most controversial infrastructure project. Hinkley Point C will cost £24.5bn to build, EU officials revealed – a much higher figure than the £16bn disclosed last year by EDF, the French utility running the project. The lower figure was in 2012 prices and excluded interest payments made during construction and other pre-building costs, said EDF. Joaquín Almunia, the EU competition commissioner, said the project's total costs would be about £34bn, including cash the developers had to show they could come up with in the event of problems during construction.
Formal state aid approval from the European Commission, on the condition of some minimal revisions, came after a deeply divided debate that led to four EU commissioners voting against the decision. Mr Almunia said the final decision had been taken, despite initial doubts, because the UK had shown there was a "genuine market failure" which meant that "without public support this investment could not take place". "This decision will not create any kind of precedent," he added, describing Hinkley Point as a project of "unprecedented nature and scale".
Japan's solar energy boom is starting to fizzle after two years of rapid expansion left utilities saying they're unable to accept electricity from so many new sources that generate power only when the sun shines. At least five of the nation's biggest utilities are restricting the access of new solar farms to their grids. Struggling to compensate for nuclear shutdowns after the Fukushima reactor meltdowns, the government of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe offers some of the highest incentives for solar in the world. That's helped make Japan the second-biggest market for photovoltaic panels, providing an alternative to downturns in Germany and Spain, nations that once led the industry. "Everyone was entering the solar market because it was lucrative, and that has strained the market," said Yutaka Miki, who studies clean energy at the Japan Research Institute.
Japan's trade ministry has approved plans for about 72 gigawatts of renewable energy projects since July 2012. The country installed almost 7.1 gigawatts of solar capacity last year, more than currently exists in all of Spain, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance. A gigawatt is about the size of a nuclear reactor. Japan's investment in the technology more than tripled to $29.6 billion in 2013 from 2010 levels, data from London-based BNEF show. Kyushu Electric Power, which supplies power to the southern island of Kyushu, said in late September that it will suspend giving new grid access to clean-energy producers while examining how much more capacity it can take on. The question is whether Japan's grid can handle intermittent power deliveries from solar systems that only generate when the sun is shining.
What good is this going to do?
\The U.S. plans to start checking the temperatures of passengers arriving at major airports from West African countries with high rates of Ebola, federal officials said Wednesday. The measure is part of a growing list of steps aimed at detecting travelers infected with the disease to stop it from spreading inside the U.S. Authorities plan to start the new screenings at John F. Kennedy International in New York on Saturday. Next week, they'll add it at O'Hare International in Chicago, Hartsfield-Jackson International in Atlanta, Washington Dulles International near Washington, D.C., and Newark Liberty International in Newark, N.J. Authorities said more airports may follow.
Real economics. And real scary too.
Kondratieff, being a Russian, of course took the long view. He took Schumpeter's four stages (expansion, crisis, recession, and recovery) and equated them to the four seasons in a year. Once he had identified what he felt to be the length of each "Spring," "Summer," "Autumn," and "Winter," Kondratieff had his "Wave;" and, as it turned out, that Wave ran for approximately 53 years. In 1925, when he published his book The Major Economic Cycles, using existing data, Kondratieff overlaid his wave on world history and projected it forward — meaning that everything for the 89 years that followed was conjecture on his part… How'd he do? Well, as it turns out, surprisingly well. Kondratieff nailed far too many major turns to have his work simply dismissed, and his most recent turn into Winter occurred in 2000 or, for those of you who measure the passing of time by such things, precisely at the bursting of the tech bubble.
The blue shaded area shows how far into the current Kondratieff downwave we are and — far more importantly — how much farther we have to go before things are supposed to turn around. But what do the inner workings of a Kondratieff Winter look like? And are we in the middle of one, as a nearly 90-year-old forecast would have us believe? Like Schumpeter's cycles, the four seasons in a Kondratieff Wave are broken down and characterised by the phenomena usually seen during each specific phase of the full cycle. I won't go through all four seasons now, as we don't have time, but rather we'll focus on the longest phase — Winter — as it's the one we find ourselves mired in.

REEL ADVICE: 'Fear of Clowns'
REEL ADVICE: Fear of Clowns
Fear of Clowns is going to show us two very critical points of the entire concept of direct to video.
One, you can have original and truly well designed storylines that'll make you cringe from the suspense and leave you guessing up until the last few minutes.
Two, you've got to be really, really careful. Chances are you do NOT have the budget to do anything really funky with your special effects, and so anyone who's paying any kind of attention--coughTHECRITICALCOMMUNITYcough--is going to spot the wires real easily and that's going to hurt your credibility in the long run.
That having been said, let's take a look at what's under this particular big top. Lynn Blodgett is a professional artist who specializes in clowns. And in a horror movie, you know that's going to end poorly. Indeed it does, too, as Lynn finds herself, her friends, and her family terrorized by a clown. The one on the box art too--a real winner named "Shivers the Clown". Lynn's also going through a rather messy divorce from her insufferable prick of a hubby and a custody fight over her son Nicky.
The really big plus about Fear of Clowns is its fantastic plotting. There are a panoply of options open to us, and it's nigh impossible to tell just where the plot is going. You've got a clown stalking a woman. Is this a serial killer getting started? Is hubby out for payback? Is hubby just trying to discredit mom for the sake of the child custody? Is this possibly even demons from hell out for Halloween fun?
That's right. Halloween. This all takes place right around Halloween.
The first five minutes is stacked high and deep with creepy moments. Thirty seven minutes in will give you an excellent suspense building sequence with a good payoff, and more of these can be found throughout.
Which brings me to the one problem with Fear of Clowns--an overambitious special effects department.
Oh, where do I begin?
The beginning, I suppose. Like three minutes and forty four seconds. Way to ruin a perfectly creepy sequence with lousy special effects, guys! That clown was plenty scary on his own WITHOUT the poorly done tearaway face effect!
And then, we segue into this truly godawful sequence featuring a cop at the one hour and forty eight second mark. If you watch the way the arms are positioned as the "cop" gets his head taken off, you can tell that they've just swapped out for a mannequin.
Plus, a human head probably shouldn't CLATTER when it hits a windshield, nor should a corpse's leg bend at almost a right angle upward like that (one hour one minute twenty eight seconds), nor should the eyes on the head close of their own volition (one hour two minutes thirty three seconds).
Unless of course I've misinterpreted my limited medical training again, which is always possible.
The ending, shot in a movie theatre, was a fantastic touch, plus there's an excellent twist somewhat involving this gruesome clown lamp at one hour ten minutes thirty seconds.
The special features include English and Spanish subtitles, English closed captioning, audio options, and a collection of trailers that I can't seem to find on this promo DVD I got.
So all in all, Fear of Clowns was a solidly put together movie. Not all of the bells and whistles work the way they should, but that's not to say that the underlying movie isn't at least fairly well done. Closer attention and a bigger effects budget probably would have solved most problems, so rent with confidence.


Google's external ethics board has been controversial from the start.
Google's Advanced Technology External Advisory Council was supposed to oversee its work on artificial intelligence and ensure it doesn't cross any lines. Now, the council wouldn't be able to do any of that, because the tech giant has officially cancelled it just a bit over a week after it was announced. According to Vox, the project was falling apart from the start due to Google's decision to name controversial figures as members of the board. The most problematic of them was perhaps Kay Coles James, the president of Heritage Foundation, which has long advocated against LGBT rights.
"Appointing James to ATEAC also significantly undermines Google's position on AI ethics and fairness. The potential harms of AI are not evenly distributed, and follow historical patterns of discrimination and exclusion. From AI that doesn't recognize trans people, doesn't "hear" more feminine voices, and doesn't "see" women of color, to AI used to enhance police surveillance, profile immigrants, and automate weapons -- those who are most marginalized are most at risk. Not only are James' views counter to Google's stated values, but they are directly counter to the project of ensuring that the development and application of AI prioritizes justice over profit. Such a project should instead place representatives from vulnerable communities at the center of decision-making."
Another controversial board member was Trumbull Unmanned founder Dyan Gibbens, whose appointment reignited discussions on the use of Google-made AI for the military. And then there's the fact that some members resigned over their problematic peers.
A Google spokesperson has confirmed the panel's dissolution to Engadget. And based on what they told us, it sounds like the company is looking for a new way to get valuable outside opinions on its artificial intelligence efforts.
"It's become clear that in the current environment, ATEAC can't function as we wanted. So we're ending the council and going back to the drawing board. We'll continue to be responsible in our work on the important issues that AI raises, and will find different ways of getting outside opinions on these topics."

"Earlier this week, CMS staff detected anomalous activity in the Federally Facilitated Exchanges, or FFE's Direct Enrollment pathway for agents and brokers. The Direct Enrollment pathway, first launched in 2013, allows agents and brokers to assist consumers with applications for coverage in the FFE... CMS began the initial investigation of anomalous system activity in the Direct Enrollment pathway for agents and brokers on October 13, 2018 and a breach was declared on October 16, 2018. The agent and broker accounts that were associated with the anomalous activity were deactivated, and – out of an abundance of caution – the Direct Enrollment pathway for agents and brokers was disabled."
CMS has notified and is working with Federal law enforcement. It expects to restore the Direct Enrollment pathway for agents and brokers within the next 7 days, before the start of the sign-up period on November 1st for health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
"I want to make clear to the public that HealthCare.gov and the Marketplace Call Center are still available, and open enrollment will not be negatively impacted. We are working to identify the individuals potentially impacted as quickly as possible so that we can notify them and provide resources such as credit protection."
Sadly, data breaches happen -- all too often within government agencies and corporations. It should be noted that this breach was detected quickly -- within 3 days. Other data breaches have gone undetected for weeks or months; and too many corporate data breaches affected millions.


In my next blog entry, I'll explain the 11th and final Customer Debug Probe (CDP) that exists in the v1.1 product. But for the next version of the product (code-named Whidbey), we're looking at adding additional probes, and not just in the area of Interop. The goal is to help you find, prevent, and/or diagnose bugs in your managed code by allowing you to opt-in to extra run-time checks done by the CLR. These extra checks slow down the applications that are probed, which is why you should never have these probes enabled in a production environment (unless you're debugging).
Take yesterday's BinarySearch example. Although many folks figured out the problem quickly, I would categorize that method as error-prone. Of course, its behavior was consciously chosen for performance reasons. Why should it force a sort of the array since the careful developer who read the documentation ensured that it is already sorted appropriately? You're supposed to pass an appropriate comparer (as Ken suggested) or call Array.Sort first (as Chris suggested) or just guarantee that the array is always sorted in increasing order as elements are added. But since failing to follow the rules doesn't slap you on the wrist - it simply gives a wrong answer some of the time - this seems like a potential candidate for a new CDP.
Imagine a "Binary Search on Improperly Sorted Collection" probe that raises a red flag whenever someone calls Array.BinarySearch or ArrayList.BinarySearch on an unsorted (or improperly sorted) array or ArrayList. Wouldn't it be nice to have this extra bit of assurance that you aren't going to ship your software with such a bug? As long as whomever responsible for QA sufficiently exercises the software with the probes turned on, you would get instant notification of the problem.
But certainly there are more compelling probes that could be added. Any suggestions? What subtle issues have you run into when writing managed code? What hypothetical probes would have saved you hours or days of debugging time? Of course, I can't promise that anything would make it into a future version of the CLR, but your feedback is valuable. We want to make software development enjoyable and less prone to bugs, even if you don't read the documentation!
How about a "Windows Forms Control used from wrong thread" probe? This one catches people out all the time.
Those are both very interesting suggestions. Unfortunately for the second one, it's likely that the probes will continue to be restricted to "core CLR" things, i.e. code in mscorwks.dll or mscorlib.dll. But if nothing else, perhaps a separate diagnostic could be added for such a thing. I believe the Windows Forms folks are already looking into that.
I have another Dispose related suggestion, although I'm not really sure if it lends itself to a CDP. Something that previously caught me out is when "ownership" of disposable objects is transferred. For example, say you are populating an image list with colours, i.e. you generate 32×32 images for certain colours that you want to display and add them to an image list. Personally I've gotten into the habbit of thinking along the lines of "If I created it then it's my job to dispose of it.". Therefore when I create a new Bitmap I know that I must dispose of it, but when I get hold of the Graphics that comes with a PaintEventArgs I know that I shouldn't dispose of it. I'm not sure if this is the best way to think about disposable objects and this thinking certainly breaks down when adding disposable objects to collections, such as in the image list example above. As a result I ran into problems when attempting to draw the images in the image list since I'd already disposed of them, but the exception messages were sufficiently cryptic ("Invalid handle", etc.) to point me in the wrong direction. You also have to consider that the real bug was in how I was adding the images, not how I was drawing them and my erroneous dispose call was occurring much earlier. A CDP that warned me with something like "IDisposable added to IList/ICollection" would have immediately reminded me that I should think about who's responsibility it was to dispose of images in the image list. Arguably this can be addressed with better documentation (or better developers <g>) as it's something that might fire all too frequently, but it was a "subtle issue" that cost me a few hours debugging.
My suggestion above may not be the best way to surface these bugs, but it seems like somehting could be done along those lines…. Any help making multithreaded bugs happen more often seems like a great benefit.
Integrate Flash support into CDPs.
One thing that I would find useful would be to know if a disposable object has been disposed via its finaliser rather than explicitly in code.

Witnesses included representatives from the International Cruise Victims Association and passengers who were the victims of sexual assault while on a cruise.

Before Defense Secretary James Mattis resigned in December, the Defense Department had been helmed by an acting secretary just twice, the longest and most recent stint lasting two months in 1989 under President George H.W. Bush, The Associated Press reports. Now, the Pentagon is preparing for its third acting secretary in seven months.
There is also no Senate-confirmed deputy defense secretary, a confirmed incoming Joint Chiefs of Staff member and top Navy admiral abruptly retired this week, and the nominee for Joint Chiefs vice chairman, Air Force Gen. John Hyten, was just accused of sexual misconduct by a senior military officer, throwing his confirmation into doubt. "The causes are varied, but this leadership vacuum has nonetheless begun to make members of Congress and others uneasy, creating a sense that something is amiss in a critical arm of the government at a time of global uncertainty," AP reports.
No previous administration has had more that one acting defense secretary, though the resignation of President Trump's second consecutive acting secretary, Mark Esper — who took over from acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan when he abruptly resigned in June — is supposed to be temporary. Esper is legally required to step aside when he begins his Senate confirmation process next Tuesday, and in that period Navy Secretary Richard Spencer will fill in as acting Pentagon chief.
"Even our foes" expect more stability from the U.S. military, former Defense Secretary William Cohen told AP. "There will inevitably be increasing uncertainty regarding which officials have which authority, which undermines the very principle of civilian control of the military," and "other countries — both allies and adversaries — will have considerable doubt about the authority granted to an acting secretary of defense both because of the uncertainty of confirmation as well as the worry that even being a confirmed official does not seem to come with the needed sense of permanence or job security in this administration."

On Friday, Taiwan's legislature became the first in Asia to approve legal same-sex marriage. The country's Constitutional Court ruled in May 2017 that prohibiting same-sex marriage violated Taiwan's constitution, and lawmakers had until May 24 to fix the laws accordingly. The legislature considered three bills, and they approved the most progressive one, creating a new class of marriage that confers full legal rights in areas including taxes, insurance, and child custody. It also gives same-sex couples limited adoption rights.
After the 2017 court ruling, Taiwan held several referendums that showed a majority of Taiwanese voters wanted to keep the definition of marriage as between one man and one woman. The new law therefore leaves the old civil law regarding marriage untouched and creates a new law for same-sex couples. Conservative lawmakers had wanted to allow "same-sex unions" or "same-sex family relationships." Peter Weber
On Tuesday, Nevada boldly went where no man-minority state legislature has gone before. With Las Vegas county officials appointing two women to fill vacancies in the state Assembly — Rochelle Thuy Nguyen and Beatrice "Bea" Angela Duran, both Democrats — Nevada officially became the first state with an overall female majority in the state legislature. The Assembly will now be 55 percent female, with women holding 23 of 42 seats — enough to overcome the slight male majority in the state Senate, where women hold nine of 21 seats.
Nevada and Colorado both elected female-majority lower houses in November, following the lead of New Hampshire's 2009-10 state Senate. But "it is unprecedented at this point to see a majority female legislature overall," says Kelly Dittmar, an assistant professor at Rutgers, whose Center for American Women and Politics tracks female political representation. When lawmakers are sworn in next year, women will hold 28.6 percent of state legislative seats in the U.S., up from 24.3 percent a decade ago.
Nevada will also be represented nationally in January by two female U.S. senators and a House delegation with two women and two men; voters elected three female Nevada Supreme Court justices as well, giving women a 4-3 majority on the court. According to the last census, Nevada is 49.8 percent female, the Los Angeles Times notes. Gov.-elect Steve Sisolak (D), whose final meeting as Clark County Commission chairman involved voting to appoint Duran and Nguyen, called the female-majority legislature "a great milestone!"

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees needed 201 passing yards to push past Brett Favre and Peyton Manning and set a new NFL all-time passing record, and he did that during the second quarter of Monday night's game in New Orleans against the Washington Redskins. And the pass that put him over the line was a 62-yard throw to Tre'Quan Smith, who ran it in for a touchdown. The celebration was pretty intense.

Brees finished the game with 363 yards, three touchdowns, and his new record, and the Saints trounced the Redskins 43-19. Manning, who'd held the record with 71,940 passing yards, responded in a video.
Congratulations, @drewbrees!
Peyton Manning's really happy you broke his record.

President Trump is officially a liar — according to The Washington Post's stickler-for-words Fact Checker team, headed by Glenn Kessler. Kessler's team has documented 4,229 false or misleading claims Trump has made as president — for an average of 7.6 a day — but despite pressure from Trump's critics, the team "has been hesitant" to accuse Trump of lying, "as it is difficult to document whether the president knows he is not telling the truth," Kessler explained on Wednesday. But with Trump's firm denial of knowledge about his lawyer Michael Cohen's hush payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels, "it's now clear that the president's statement was a lie."
You can read Kessler's "definitive story of a Trump lie," including names, dates, and supporting video evidence, at The Washington Post. At CNN on Wednesday night, Chris Cuomo discussed Trump's lie about the Stormy Daniels payment, but he also spent a few minutes debunking Trump's new whopper, that former President Barack Obama "did the same thing." "In fact, he liked this excuse so much — so nice — he used it twice," Cuomo said, calling the charge Trump's "weakest" line of attack yet. But in the end, the main point is Trump's shifting story about paying off Daniels, he said, and "the real problem here is lying." Watch below. Peter Weber

A coalition of opposition parties won control of Malaysia's government on Wednesday, unseating scandal-tarred Prime Minister Najib Razak and ending 60 years of rule by the National Front party. According to official results, the opposition Alliance of Hope has more than the 112 parliamentary seats needed to form a new government, and Mahathir Mohamad — Najib's mentor and a former authoritarian prime minister — is expected to be sworn in as soon as Friday. At that point, Mahathir, 92, will be the oldest elected leader in the world.
Mahathir came out of retirement to join the opposition after Najib's government became embroiled in a massive corruption investigation involving a state investment fund, One Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). The U.S. Justice Department says Najib's associates stole $4.5 billion from the fund, and $700 million ended up in Najib's bank accounts while millions more was laundered in the U.S. through banks, a Picasso gifted to Leonardo DiCaprio, and expensive real estate, among other vehicles. Najib has denied wrongdoing.
Opposition parties, many of whose leaders were jailed by Mahathir during his 22-year rule, agreed that the former prime minister was their best hope for wresting control from Najib and the dominant National Front. The Alliance for Hope scored its landmark victory in state and national elections despite newly drawn gerrymandered districts, a recent "fake news" law critics said was a tool to silence dissent, and electoral laws that give outsize power to the National Front's base in rural areas. Critics also say Najib used all the tools at his disposal to quash investigations into the 1MDB scandal.
"We are not seeking revenge," Mahathir said Thursday morning, as Malaysians celebrated in the streets. "What we want to do is restore the rule of law." You can learn more about the 1MDB investigation — including cameos by President Trump and his D.C. hotel, DiCaprio, a flashy Malaysian playboy, and Paris Hilton — at the PRX show Reveal. Peter Weber
On Monday, doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore announced that they successfully completed the first full penis and scrotum transplant. The patient, a U.S. service member whose lower legs and genitals were blown off by an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan, "is expected to be discharged from the hospital this week, and we are optimistic that he will regain near-normal urinary and sexual functions following full recovery," said Dr. Andrew Lee, chairman of the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Johns Hopkins University.
A team of nine plastic surgeons and two urological surgeons preformed the surgery over 14 hours in March, after five years of preparatory research and practice. The unidentified patient said in a statement that losing your genitals is "a real mind-boggling injury to suffer; it is not an easy one to accept," and "when I first woke up, I felt finally more normal." The doctors said that the patient will likely be able to urinate by the times he leaves the hospital but it will take about six months for the nerves to regrow enough for sexual function and sensation. The medical team did not transplant the donor's testes, due to ethical concerns about the patient being able to father the late donor's children.
Johns Hopkins released a mildly graphic illustrated re-enactment of the surgery, if you are interested:

More than 1,300 male veterans sustained genital injuries in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars between 2001 and 2013, according to a 2017 study in the Journal of Urology. Lee said the "hidden" genital injuries have a "devastating impact" on the identity, self-esteem, and relationships of afflicted veterans. This wasn't the first penis transplant — there was an apparently successful one in South Africa in 2015 and an unsuccessful one in China, and a 2016 penis transplant at Massachusetts General Hospital has left the patient, Thomas Manning, doing fine but without full sexual function, USA Today reports.

Monday's Doctor Who Christmas special marked the end of Peter Capaldi's role as the 12th Doctor, as well as Steven Moffat's seven years as head writer and showrunner for the iconic BBC sci-fi franchise about a time-traveling Time Lord, and it briefly introduced the 13th Doctor, Jodie Whittaker, a star of Broadchurch and now the first woman to play the Doctor. Capaldi's regeneration into Whittaker, 35, occurs at the end of the episode, and it appears the Doctor's time machine, the TARDIS, is not pleased with the change.
Whittaker will appear in her first full episode next year. Moffat's replacement is Chris Chibnall, the creator of Broadchurch — which, along with featuring the future 13th Doctor also starred the 10th Doctor, David Tennant. Peter Weber


Arabica coffee, Bourbon variety. The plantation from which the coffee originates is located in the Sul de Minas growing region, about 450 km northwest of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The coffee trees grow at altitudes of 950 to 1,200 meters, and the coffee is processed using the washed method. Experts regard it as the best Brazilian coffee.
Prepared espresso is dominated by hint of sweet chocolate with a very subtle citrus acidity. The fruity taste with the sweetness of honey and chocolate creates a richly structured coffee.
Brasil coffee has ecological certification from Rainforest Alliance and UTZ Certified.

It's not uncommon to see someone in full wizard garb at Volta Coffee in Gainesville, Florida. Even aspiring conjurers need a caffeine jolt. But add to the mix a young professional sipping a double espresso with his red Lamborghini parked just outside and you start to get a feeling that this local coffee scene supports more than just a diverse clientele … it's a meeting point and incubator of story. A place where the most amazing story I could ever hear might be sitting just a table away, enjoying an iced cafe au lait.
Wizards, Lamborghinis and Volta Coffee had me ruminating on the importance of story, especially its use in the design process. How story bonds design concepts to people and places in meaningful, understandable ways. How it adds authenticity, relevancy and even whimsy in the creation and reinvention of cities and destinations.
A century ago, Gainesville was still throwing off its "Hogtown" roots and starting down the road as a major point of research, education and service anchored by the University of Florida. The City's story then was linked to cotton, World War I and the University's enrollment of just under 200 students. The rapid growth of the City, the 51,725 students, the wizards, and Volta Coffee would all come later.
The new Gainesville is perhaps exemplified by the recent opening of Florida Innovation Hub at UF and the broader plans to transform six city blocks into Innovation Square, a node for research, commerce, housing and recreation. Development of "shark skin" technology to reduce treatment-resistant bacterial infections in hospitals is the story of the day here; a storyline, at least in rough outline, that was envisioned in the master planning and design of this new district.
That cup of coffee in Gainesville and Volta's merry band set into motion a bit of a side project: To document through a series of interviews why story matters and to uncover the steps taken to explore, and ultimately, script meaningful stories as part of the design process. More than 25 conversations later, there is still much to learn… but also, much to share. Over the course of my next several posts, I will introduce you to several professionals for which story and design are an essential part of their work. Each offers a bit of wizardry of their own making useful for practitioners seeking to advance the craft of story in their creative process.


Because of the historic inventory shortage, competition for homes has been steep, and prices have been rising sharply in markets across the country as a result.
But according to a recent report, it looks like that's (finally) starting to change, spelling good news for buyers.
According to recent data from Zillow, 14% of all listings in the United States had a price cut in June 2018, and since the start of the year, the share of listings in the US that had a price cut increased by 1.2 percentage points—the largest January-to-June increase since Zillow started collecting data.
What does this mean? As the housing market starts to normalize (after years of leaning towards sellers), homeowners putting their properties on the market are having to adjust their prices in order to stay competitive—which is great news for buyers.
If you've been thinking about purchasing a home, now is a great time to make a move and take advantage of these price cuts.


Suprisingly, the crowd here on a daily basis is filled with the young and the restless. We can be quite sure that this is the place where classmates stalk their latest 'crushes' and is practically 'the O.C' hang out of Jakarta.
With loud thumping dance music in the background, swimming pool and good food it is no wonder this place is like a moth to a flame for youngsters. To suit their main target market, New Oceanic Cafe serves an array of easy and non-fussy International foods hailing from Indonesia, Japan, and Italy.
The Seafood Platter and Calamaris definitely fit into the ambience but for the much younger crowd, they mostly enjoy the fried rice option. Especially their Crazy Fried Rice with baso, chicken, shrimp, eggs and chillies. Or the Special Fried Rice that is served standard with a couple of sticks of sate and sunny side up egg. Another favourite treat is the Chicken Cordon Bleu served with a generous amount of cheese. For those hungry for some western food, steak is available such as the Australian tenderloin and sirloin steak @220 grams each. This is served up simply with you choice of sauces and sides.
Another reason why this place appeals to the younger crowd, is because of their unique beer cocktails and original cocktail offerings. If you decide to try the Mr. J-Black drink, we advise you to make sure that you have eaten a good solid meal beforehand, as the drink consists of 12 different types of spirits mixed with a combination of orange and cranberry juices, sweet 'n sour and of a splash of grenadine. This is no child's play drink though.
Enjoy your time at this venue with your family and friends; you can easily spend a nice relaxing day here, soaking up the view, people-watching, eating, drinking and of course going for a dip in the pool to cool off.
