GT14_00 General Track – The wider societal and organizational changes underpinnig digital transformation
Today, most major businesses are being transformed by the power of data and the technological assets that make it possible for them to use the data in the best possible ways. Digital transformation is a considerably broad concept that encompasses customer-driven strategic business transformation requiring far-reaching and cross-cutting organizational change in addition to the implementation of digital technologies. There is a widespread realization that the path to competitive advantage is through data. Due to its scope, digital transformation is not a matter of implementing one project, but rather a whole series of different projects, effectively necessitating the organization to deal.

GENERAL TRACK 2022 TRACKS
T14_01 Better questions for business and management education at the digital crossroads
The 'digital transformation' of the business landscape has been a topic of interest for business and management educators for many decades. Can we find better questions to answer when examining the opportunities and challenges for management education in this latest era of digital transformation? This track critically apprises the deeper issues around the digital learning experience, the delivery of online learning and preparing our students for this new era. Additionally, we will also accept more general reflections on how the pandemic and the associated digital transformation of teaching and learning changed our practice and pedagogy as educators.
Goal 4: Quality education

T14_02 Digital Transformation and Compliance Leadership
Sir Isaac Newton, when asked about South Sea, declared that "he could calculate the motions of the heavenly stars, but not the madness of people". This statement is more relevant today than ever before and describes the challenge facing a management that, to ensure compliant behavior among thousands and thousands of employees around the globe, must ensure that they behave correctly. This is the core task of compliance leadership. It now foreshadows entirely new opportunities and challenges as an outgrowth of digital transformation. This proposal highlights some of these aspects, which are crucial for successful compliance leadership using digital transformation.
Goal 4: Quality education, Goal 16: Peace, justice and strong institutions

T14_03 Digital technologies and the emergence of new ecosystems, business models, and marketing practices (NEW)
Digital technologies are often seen as game changer towards a more digitized world. Digital technologies hold considerable potential for innovation. Their exploration, however, calls for new collaboration forms by providing opportunities for novel value generation. New forms of digital business models require ecosystem collaboration and allow for the generation of new revenue models as well as new forms of value such as customer, business, collaborative and/or societal and environmental value. By using digital technologies organizations may understand the behavior of users much better to derive evidence-based decisions to deliver the right values and increase the chance of success.
This track examines how organizations tackle Digital technologies as a source of new ecosystems, business models, value generation, purpose-driven innovation, and digital marketing approaches.

T14_04 Digital Transformation and Hybrid/Virtual Negotiations
Whereas negotiations had previously taken place in person, at the latest in the final process, they now had to be conducted purely virtually, even at critical moments, due to the contact restrictions to contain the Corona pandemic. This challenge affected individuals as well as companies, public authorities, NGOs/NPOs and international organizations. In the context of this topic, we will discuss what the effects of such purely virtual negotiations mean for the individuals and organizations involved as well as the effect of upcoming technologies on the negotiation experience and structure.

T14_05 How digital technologies are reshaping marketing approaches and practices
The mini track "How digital technologies are reshaping marketing approaches and practices" takes into account the disruptive changes in marketing based on new emerging technologies. Digital technologies (including QR codes, mobile phones, augmented reality, RFD chips, 3-D digital modelling, geolocation, machine learning and so on) are being integrated with marketing activities continuously or disruptively to reach Marketing 4.0 – a new generation of marketing approaches, methods, tools, and practices (Dash et al., 2021). Using these technologies enables marketing organisations to understand the behaviour of users much better and to derive fact based decisions to increase the chance of success.
Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth
Michael Klaas , ZHAW, michael.klaas@zhaw.ch
T14_06 Management History, Theory, and Philosophy
The "Management History, Theory, and Philosophy" addresses historical and philosophical foundations and challenges of management and organization theory and practice. Knowledge of these foundations and challenges is vital for developing creative management solutions to persistent organizational problems, overcoming intellectual lockdowns, and shaping the futures of our disciplines.
Open to all paradigms, this track invites decidedly philosophical, historical, theoretical and conceptual contributions from scholars with backgrounds in management and organisation studies, sociology, economics, anthropology, history, philosophy, information science, communication studies, and further appropriate fields of sciences.

T14_07 The remote work transformation: New actors, new contexts, new implications
The COVID-19-pandemic fundamentally changed how people, teams and organizations work. Established concepts such as digitalization, virtual teams, flexible work arrangements, work from home and new ways of work do not cover this transformation and its far reaching implications. We invite empirical, theoretical, methodological and conceptual contributions from a variety of disciplines that shed light onto the new actors, new contexts and new implications of the remote work transformation. We wish to identify how HRM, in particular international HRM, shall spearhead the remote work transformation of the future.

One of the biggest points of contention in many marriages is money. It's a hot-button topic that can send even the most level-headed couples into a heated frenzy. Why is that? For whatever reason, people are passionate about money, and everyone comes into a marriage or relationship with preconceived ideas, values, and experiences regarding how to handle money. When those ideals don't mesh with one's partner's, it inevitably causes tension.
So, how do you talk to your significant other about money matters? Ideally, this is one topic that would have be discussed at length before you entered a serious relationship, but as we all know, we don't live in a perfect world, right? As the saying goes, the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago; the second-best time is today. So, even if you are well entrenched in your relationship, it's never too late to have a conversation about money in an effort to get on the same page as your spouse.
How will/should we handle the household bills?
In some relationships, the bills are simply paid out of the household coffers, and that's that. For others, it works better for each member to have his or her own bank account, out of which a certain bill or bills gets paid each month. It's important to discuss this with your spouse so you know what they expect. If their ideas differ from yours, you may have to come up with a compromise.
Do we have to discuss every expenditure?
For some couples, it's important that they discuss every expenditure with each other. For others, it's important to have discretionary spending abilities that don't require a discussion with their partner. Ask questions like how much money, if any, your partner feels you should each be able to spend without the consent of the other person.
How will we discuss money matters in the future?
Aside from the financial discussion, we are talking about here, how will you discuss money issues moving forward? Will you have regular "meetings" to touch base, or will you discuss things as they come up?
Make an appointment to talk about money. Put down your phones, make sure the kids are in bed or at school and have an honest and open discussion about your financial situation today and any goals you have for the short- and long-term. Never schedule these meetings when either of you will be stressed or tired, as this can lead to flare-ups and arguments that aren't necessary. If you do find yourself in need of a little extra cash someday, you can look here for advice.
When you do have your meeting, be sure to come prepared with issues, paperwork, concerns, plans, and ideas. The meeting will only be successful and useful if things actually get resolved!
Be willing to compromise! It's extremely unlikely that you will agree with your partner on everything, so it's important to go into financial discussions with an open mind and be willing to compromise on some things.
Remember not to let your emotions run over you in these financial discussions. Money is a very personal and sometimes contentious thing in relationships, but it's very important not to be ruled by emotions in discussions with your partner. Be calm and rational, and talk, talk, talk! The only way to resolve issues is to talk them through and, as much as possible, get on the same page as your partner. Always bear in mind that nothing is more important than your relationship, and money is only a means to buy things. You can't replace your partner, and hurt feelings can't easily be mended all the time, so choose your words carefully and put your relationship first. There will no doubt be differences of opinion and discussions (sometimes even heated discussions) about money in your relationship, but with an open mind and a healthy measure of compromise, you and your partner can have a healthy financial relationship for years to come!

UAE 'surprised' at inclusion in EU tax-haven blacklist
EU adopted a blacklist of 17 non-EU tax havens, including the UAE and Bahrain
The UAE government said it's "surprised and disappointed" to be included on a European Union list of non-compliant tax jurisdictions, according to Undersecretary of Finance Yousef Haji Al-Khouri.
On Tuesday, the EU adopted a blacklist of 17 non-EU tax havens, including the UAE and Bahrain, following a year of negotiations, singling out countries that EU officials accuse of facilitating the creating of shell companies and other structures designed to aid tax avoidance.
A further 47 countries are on a "grey list", according to sources quoted by the AFP.
In a statement, Al-Khouri said, "The UAE has worked to meet the European Union's requirements in terms of exchanging tax-related information.
"We have committed to a reform process which will be finalised by October 2018, and we are absolutely confident this will ensure the UAE is swiftly removed from the list.
"We look forward to moving into the next phase of cooperation with our EU partners on the important issue of tax regulation."
Al-Khouri noted that the EU has acknowledged that the UAE has addressed each issue that has been raised, and that the UAE has drafted, legislated significant reforms to ensure that they remain in "lock-step" with partner countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and international best practice.
In the UAE's case, the only remaining issue is the implementation of the BEPS (base erosion and profit shifting) minimum standard, which the UAE has committed to finalising in October 2018 and ratifying in March of the following year, giving the UAE's federal structure the time necessary to ratify the measure across all seven emirates.
The UAE government has said it is confident it will be recognised as being an internationally compliant partner at the EU's next review.

This year I am looking for a healthier version of Hot Cross buns for baking and enjoying. Here is my Vegan Hot Cross Bun recipe, enjoy!
Place all the yeast mix ingredients in a bowl. Mix to combine and leave in a warm place to get frothy. (about 10 mins) (If the yeast doesn't froth at this stage, it's not active and you'll have to get some fresh yeast before going any further).
Add the yeast mix and liquid mix and mix until you achieve a soft and sticky dough. Knead for 5 mins or so in the bowl until smooth.
Cover with cling wrap and leave to rise in a warm space for an hour up to an hour or until doubled in size.
Turn dough out and knead until smooth – divide into 12 and roll into balls. Place them 3 x 4 in a 19 cm x 23 cm baking tin or oven tray, lightly touching. Cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm place till nearly doubled.
Mix the cross ingredients into a paste. Make a piping tube from a snap lock bag and pipe crosses on buns.
Bake buns for 20 mins. In the last 5 minutes of baking mix together the glaze ingredients until smooth.
Move to a cooling rack immediately to avoid soggy bottoms.

The Medusa v. The Odalisque (Infinite Jest)
June 17, 2015 June 19, 2015 BibliokleptLeave a comment
But this one other short high-tech one was called 'The Medusa v. The Odalisque' and was a film of a fake stage-production at Ford's Theater in the nation's capital of Wash. DC that, like all his audience-obsessed pieces, had cost Incandenza a real bundle in terms of human extras. The extras in this one are a well-dressed audience of guys in muttonchops and ladies with paper fans who fill the place from first row to the rear of the balcony's boxes, and they're watching an incredibly violent little involuted playlet called 'The Medusa v. The Odalisque,' the relatively plotless plot of which is just that the mythic Medusa, snake-haired and armed with a sword and well-polished shield, is fighting to the death or petrification against L'Odalisque de Ste. Thérèse, a character out of old Québecois mythology who was supposedly so inhumanly gorgeous that anyone who looked at her turned instantly into a human-sized precious gem, from admiration. A pretty natural foil for the Medusa, obviously, the Odalisque has only a nail-file instead of a sword, but also has a well-wielded hand-held makeup mirror, and she and the Medusa are basically rumbling for like twenty minutes, leaping around the ornate stage trying to de-map each other with blades and/or de-animate each other with their respective reflectors, which each leaps around trying to position just right so that the other gets a glimpse of its own full-frontal reflection and gets instantly petrified or gemified or whatever. In the cartridge it's pretty clear from their milky-pixeled translucence and insubstantiality that they're holograms, but it's not clear what they're supposed to be on the level of the playlet, whether the audience is supposed to see/(not)see them as ghosts or wraiths or 'real' mythic entities or what. But it's a ballsy fight-scene up there on the stage — having been intricately choreographed by an Oriental guy Himself rented from some commercial studio and put up in the HmH, who ate like a bird and smiled very politely all the time and didn't have even a word to say to anybody, it seemed, except Avril, to whom the Oriental choreographer had cottoned right off — balletic and full of compelling little cornerings and near-misses and reversals, and the theater's audience is rapt and clearly entertained to the gills, because they keep spontaneously applauding, as much maybe for the film's play's choreography as anything else — which would make it more like spontaneously meta-applauding, Hal supposes — because the whole fight-scene has to be ingeniously choreographed so that both combatants have their respectively scaly and cream-complected backs 155. to the audience, for obvious reasons… except as the shield and little mirror get whipped martially around and brandished at various strategic angles, certain members of the playlet's well-dressed audience eventually start catching disastrous glimpses of the combatants' fatal full-frontal reflections, and instantly get transformed into like ruby statues in their front-row seats, or get petrified and fall like embolized bats from the balcony's boxes, etc. The cartridge goes on like this until there's nobody left in the Ford's Theater seats animate enough to applaud the nested narrative of the fight-scene play, and it ends with the two aesthetic foils still rumbling like mad before an audience of varicolored stone. 'The Medusa v. The Odalisque' 's own audiences didn't think too much of the thing, because the film audience never does get much of a decent full-frontal look at what it is about the combatants that supposedly has such a melodramatic effect on the rumble's live audience, and so the film's audience ends up feeling teased and vaguely cheated, and the thing had only a regional release, and the cartridge rented like yesterday's newspapers, and it's now next to impossible to find.
155. The Medusa wears a kind of chain-mail backless evening gown and Hellenic sandals, the Odalisque a Merry Widow.

The RMS Titanic[1] was a British passenger ship. She was built by Harland and Wolff ship builders, in Belfast, for the White Star Line company. She sank during the first trip at sea.
Before the Titanic sailed, many people thought it would be almost impossible for ships of this design to sink.[2]

Sinking on[change | change source]
Titanic at Southampton docks, prior to her departure, 10 April 1912.
The Titanic leaving Southampton on 10 April 1912.
At 11:40 PM on 14 April 1912, during the Titanic's first trip, she hit an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean. The iceberg broke the Titanic's hull (bottom), letting water into the ship. The Titanic sank two hours and forty minutes later at 2:20 AM on 15 April.
As she sank, the Titanic split in two. The wreck killed over 1,500 people. Only around 705 people survived.[3] It was one of the worst shipwrecks that was not during a war.
Titanic-New York Herald front page. Wrong numbers were posted the first days after the accident.
One reason why so many people died was that the ship did not have enough lifeboats for everyone on board. The Titanic had 20 lifeboats with room for 1,178 passengers, only a third of the number of passengers the ship could carry. It actually had more lifeboats than was needed by law (it needed 16 with room for 990 passengers). This was because the laws in the UK were out of date. They did not say that a ship needed enough lifeboats for all passengers. They only said that a ship weighing more than 10,000 tons needed 16 lifeboats (the Titanic weighed 46,000 tons). Furthermore, the White Star Line believed that the lifeboats on the Titanic would only be needed to take passengers a short distance to a rescue ship.
Higher class women and children were allowed on the lifeboats first, and passengers who sailed in first class (which meant that they paid for better rooms on the ship) were allowed on before other passengers. Few of the poorer people who had paid less (called second class and third class passengers) got out safely. last summer
Another reason so few people survived was that the radio was off on the SS Californian, the ship closest to the Titanic. The Californian crew did not hear about the accident.[4] Also, the Titanic did have flares but they were white. Back then (and still now), red meant emergency and other colors were used for identification (White = White Star Line). The Californian and other ships saw the flares but they didn't think of the flares as distress signals.[5] Another ship, the SS Carpathia, did hear about the accident and collected all 705 survivors.[6]
This had several reasons:
There was no information. The ship didn't have an alarm system (like the common ones, where sirens could be sounded). This means that the crew had to tell each passenger to go and evacuate the ship. There was less crew for second and third class, and there were much more people.
People who paid less had no access to certain decks.
There was a clear separation between the classes. The passage between decks of different classes could be locked. This was especially a problem in the first phase of the evacuation. According to some survivors, some passages were not opened even when the ship started sinking.
Many people travelling in third class were foreigners. Their language skills were limited.
Many of those who died didn't die because they couldn't leave the ship before it sank. They died of hypothermia, while they were floating in the cold water (which was only a bit over the freezing point at that time).[7] When the MS. Carpathia arrived, at 4.10 ship's time, they were floating dead bodies in the water. Many lifeboats rowed away from those who were in the water shouting for help. The people in the lifeboats were afraid the lifeboat would capsize when people entered it from the water. Only lifeboat Number four returned to the shouting people in the water. Five people could be rescued, but two of them died in the lifeboat. Around 3 am ship's time, 40 minutes after the sinking, the last calls for help ceased. After 3am, lifeboat number 14, commanded by Officer Harold Lowe returned. He could save another three people. He had emptied the lifeboat and let the people in the boat enter other boats beforehand.
The following table gives a listing of those who died and those who survived, grouped by age, gender and ships class. Children are those up to age 12. It is taken from a report to British parliament of 1912.[8] There are other lists, with slightly different numbers.

Last survivor[change | change source]
The last survivor of the Titanic disaster to die was a woman named Millvina Dean. She was the youngest passenger on board, as she was then a baby of only nine weeks old. She died in Ashhurst, Hampshire, England on 21 May 2009 aged 97.[9]
Changes after the accident[change | change source]
The Titanic disaster changed many maritime ship laws. Because so many people died, authorities felt that laws should be put into place to make ship travel safer. Changes included requiring all ships to carry enough lifeboats for everyone on the ship, and emergency materials such as flares. Someone must be at the ship's radio all the time.
Alexander Brehm, a German physicist, was shocked when he heard about the disaster. He wanted to invent a technology that would be able to detect icebergs. He wasn't able to achieve that goal until his death, but he was granted patents relating to the measurement of the depth at sea, using sound. Today, this is known as echo sounding.[10]
Discovery[change | change source]
Titanic's bow, photographed in 2004.
The wreck was found by a French and American team, led by Robert Ballard, on September 1, 1985 at 1:02 in the morning.
In 1986, Ballard returned to the wreck with a submarine. He took many photos and made lots of films.
In 1987, a French team salvaged 900 objects and took them to the surface.
Culture[change | change source]
The story of the sinking has been made into several movies. The most popular film version is a 1997 film starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio called Titanic. It won 11 Academy Awards, tying Ben-Hur for the record for the most Academy Awards won by one movie.
Other movie versions of the story include the 1958 film A Night to Remember, the 1953 film Titanic, the 1979 film S.O.S. Titanic and the 1996 movie Titanic.
In the 1980 film Raise the Titanic, salvagers raise the shipwreck from the bottom of the ocean to the surface. However, this is impossible to do in reality. The Titanic broke in two, and the wreck is partially stuck in the bottom, buried under more than three feet (1 m) of mud in some spots. The ship has been on the ocean floor for more than 100 years, and would shatter into many more pieces if disturbed. Worms and other animals have eaten away much of the wood and many other parts.

Will.i.am has a laser rave in a Lexus!
will.i.am has just done something we didn't expect. Well that's pretty normal for him, so maybe we did expect it. The Black Eyed Peas and TV show 'The Voice UK' star has been busy, making music by using a car, and lasers.
The action took place on a disused runway in Spain, where will.i.am and 3 stunt drivers navigated the world's biggest musical stave with new Lexus NX cars to make the tune. The sound played out as if it were a game on your iPad or tablet.
All this happened during the hours of darkness, using a rave style mixture of lasers ato create the music as long as the Lexus NX cars used hit the sensor at exactly the right time.
In excess of 350 projected mapped motion and audio sensitive lasers and lights were set up up as will.i.am and his stunt drivers battled against speed and rhythm to conduct and navigate a the three Lexus NXs', hitting the laser targets at the correct tempo to synchronise with the smash hit tune.
It was an immense sound-road race against time to complete the challenge in the limited hours of darkness available before the sun came up.
will.i.am said: said: 'Working with the stunt guys to hit the laser targets in time with the music wasn't easy to get right but the result was awesome. The combination of technology, design and music in this project was out of this world.'
Over 65 engineers worked for over a week to set up the rig for the lights and motion sensitive lasers, which were designed by world-renowned light artists, Marshmallow Laser Feast who have previously worked with other artists such as Coldplay and U2.
Built around bespoke software that too nearly 2 weeks to develop, the bright lights were visible from around 10 miles away, with a further 10 long-throw lasers were used to mark out the staves.
"We've created a huge musical game with three stunt drivers as the players and will.i.am as the conductor," MLF Creative Director, Barnaby Steel said whilst explaining the project.
"Music is created when the cars trigger notes and samples by hitting beams of light that are motion sensitive. It's basically like a giant laser harp with cars instead of fingers."

Gov. Greg Abbott Pledges State Help After Timberview High School Shooting In Arlington
By Jack Fink October 6, 2021 at 6:07 pm
Filed Under:DFW News, Gov. Greg Abbott, Mansfield ISD, School Shooting, Timberview High School, Timberview High School Shooting
ARLINGTON, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) – Governor Greg Abbott offered state resources to Arlington Mayor Jim Ross and the surrounding community following Wednesday morning's shooting at Timberview High School in South Arlington.
"We as a state working with the local communities will do everything possible to ensure that the shooter will be prosecuted swiftly and effectively," Gov. Abbott said.
Abbott made his comments at noon during the start of his news conference with ten other Governors at the border in Mission, Texas.
"It is illegal for the shooter to either possess or to have purchased the gun that was used in this crime," he said.
Gov. Greg Abbott (CBS 11)
State Representative Chris Turner, D-Grand Prairie, represents the area surrounding the school.
He said Wednesday that he hopes the investigation can quickly reveal key questions about the accused shooter.
"How the student came to possess the gun in the first place, and how the student was able to bring the gun on to the campus and into the building," Rep. Turner said.
After ten people were killed and 13 others were injured in a shooting at Santa Fe High School in South Texas three years ago, the state legislature passed a comprehensive bill to prevent school shootings.
School districts are now required to have emergency operations plans in place, train not only school resource officers but teachers, including substitutes and other employees on what to do during emergencies.
They must also have threat assessment teams to identify potentially violent students.
The state increased mental health services, and provided school districts some money to harden their campuses.
The law though left it up to individual school district leaders to decide what's best for their communities.
After the shooting Wednesday, the district sent school buses to Timberview High School to take students to be reunited with their parents.
Wednesday CBS 11 saw a line of school buses waiting to take students to be reunited with their parents.
One parent praised the school district. "I do thank Mansfield ISD because they did keep the communications open. I mean, I was driving but we got text messages and emails. So I think they did a really good job of informing the parents."
Representative Turner said, "I'm glad to hear that about the emails and text messages. Communication is key in a time of crisis."

What's the best internet provider in my area?
Fiber internet providers are likely to offer the fastest, most consistent speeds for the money. Cable internet providers can also deliver fast speeds, up to 100 Mbps and higher, but are more vulnerable to slowed speeds during peak usage times. If you're shopping for cheap internet, a DSL provider may be the best option for your household.
What's a good speed for gaming?
Speeds of 10 Mbps and higher are good for gaming, but what you really want to consider when choosing an internet service for gaming is latency, or ping. Latency is the measure of how long it takes for your device to communicate with the server and is the main contributor to lag. The higher the ping, the more likely you are to experience lagging. Shoot for an internet service with latency below 100 ms.
Why aren't there more internet options?
According to the FCC, 93% of households have access to three or more providers. In many areas, a cable, DSL, satellite and possibly fiber-optic provider may be available. You are unlikely, however, to find multiple providers of the same internet type, such as two cable providers, in the same location because operating expenses in an area already served by another provider can be too high to be profitable.

How America rated President Donald Trump's tweet about Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch
Linley Sanders
Data Journalist
President Donald Trump, on Friday, used Twitter to attack former US Ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, as she testified to the House Intelligence Committee about smear campaign that preluded her dismissal. Hers was the third in a series of public hearings aimed at determining whether Trump committed impeachable offenses in pushing the President of Ukraine to investigate his political rival, Joe Biden.
In the middle of the hearing, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Representative Adam Schiff, asked Yovanovitch to respond in real-time to Trump's tweet.
Trump wrote, "Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad. She started off in Somalia, how did that go? Then fast forward to Ukraine, where the new Ukrainian President spoke unfavorably about her in my second phone call with him. It is a U.S. President's absolute right to appoint ambassadors.....They call it 'serving at the pleasure of the President.' The U.S. now has a very strong and powerful foreign policy, much different than proceeding administrations. It is called, quite simply, America First! With all of that, however, I have done FAR more for Ukraine than O."
Schiff read the tweet aloud and asked Yovanovitch what the effect she thought it would have on other witnesses' willingness to come forward. Yovanovitch testified that "It's very intimidating. "I can't speak to what the president is trying to do, but the effect is to be intimidating."
Schiff responded that he and the committee "take witness intimidation very, very seriously." In a statement, the White House said the tweet was not witness intimidation, but rather, "simply the president's opinion, which he is entitled to."
While Yovanovitch considered the tweet intimidating, Americans did not find it significantly more negative or positive than Trump's other Twitter missives. Most Americans' who rated the tweet considered it slightly below the median score that represents whether the tweet is seen as "Great" or "Terrible." The exception to that is Republicans, who considered the tweet slightly above their median score.
These scores are sourced from regular Americans who consider themselves affiliated with a political party. Every day, YouGov asks a nationally representative sample of US adults to rate the president's tweets on a five-point scale from Great (+2) to Terrible (-2), which produces an overall score for how the general population feels about the tweet on a scale from -200 (if everyone thinks it is terrible) to +200 (if everyone thinks it is great).
Democrats rated the tweet -146, which is 31-points below their median score (-115) for all tweets from President Trump's Twitter account since the beginning months of his presidency. Republicans rated the tweet 9-points above their median score (+102), giving the tweet a score of +111. Independents rated the tweet a -25, which is 9-points below their median score (-16).
More than half (54%) of Republicans rated the tweet "Great," the highest classification for a Trump tweet. In contrast, seven in ten (71%) Democrats and three in ten (30%) Independents rated the tweet as "Terrible," the lowest possible score. About two in ten (19%) Independents thought the tweet was "Great."
Related: How did Trump's tweets affect Sean Spicer on Dancing with the Stars?
Methodology: YouGov TweetIndex shows how the public rate each tweet from President Donald Trump's official Twitter account. At the end of every day, YouGov shows a representative sample of US adults the tweets sent in the past 24 hours by President Trump. The panelists are asked to rate the posts on a scale Great (+2), Good (+1), OK (0), Bad (-1), and Terrible (-2). Theoretically, scores can range from -200 (if everyone thought the tweet was "Terrible") to +200 (if everyone thought the tweet was "Great").

Gilder's Daily Prophecy
By George GilderPosted April 2, 2020
The Grave Disorder in Regards to Democracy
We are living in the age of Aesculapian politics and even morality, when our leaders fear to appear in public without a physician in tow or scientist at his back.
Even President Trump will not make a decision that is not valorized by Dr. Anthony Fauci, standing by his side with afurrowed brow and medical diagnosis. As Trump speaks, Fauci allows his drifting eyebrow to convey the supercilious superiority of the scientist over the former real estate tycoon turned politician.
Fauci permits Trump to speak, to offer optimistic prognoses — "Aw shucks, it would be great to open for Easter." But everyone knows that the real decision is being made by the experts based on "science."
Former President Barack Obama declares that this priority is correct. He asserts the coronavirus is directly comparable to "climate change." "Science" should rule. Politics is nearly irrelevant. There is no higher order of values than is wielded by a doctor at the bedside of a particular patient or precarious planet.
Just as the so-called climate experts call on us to suppress the world economy in the name of a climate disaster, the medical experts call on us to close down the US economy in order to prevent a healthcare disaster.
This is not an acceptable argument. The healthcare system is not separate from the economy but a crucial part of it. The socialization of healthcare, as if it can function without a free economy, is already a major error.
The economy is what keeps us alive. It is what sustains the nation and the world. If it fails, billions will starve or die early of other preventable afflictions. If the medical diagnosis declares that the economy must be suspended to uphold medical priorities, then political leadership must assert the larger public interest.
Science Versus Leadership
As the supreme Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises wrote, economics "did more to transform human thinking than any other scientific theory before or since" because "with good men and strong governments, everything was considered feasible… [But with the advent of economics] now it was learned that in the social realm too there is something operative which power and force are unable to alter and to which they must adjust themselves if they hope to achieve success, in precisely the same way as they must take in to account the laws of nature."
The prevailing ideology defies this Misesian wisdom. It holds that in this plague year, politicians have no real role. Democracy must stand down. The constitution must be suspended. Political leaders must defer to doctors. The coronaviral threat is addressable only through medical expertise.
This is a grave disorder of democracy, a usurpation of politics by diagnosis, an abdication of leadership to scientific prescriptions that do not apply. Science is about the past. Leadership is about the future, which is not implicit in the past or determined by what we already know. The future is shaped by human choices.
According to a probably apocryphal but enduring story that teaches a vital truth, Prime Minister Winston Churchill on the night of the 14-15th of November 1940 left Coventry to burn under the bombing of the German Luftwaffe.
The wartime Prime Minister allegedly believed that alerting the people of Coventry would reveal British success in breaking the German codes. Better to leave the people of Coventry to their fate, then to give up the huge advantage in intelligence earned by the codebreakers at Bletchley Palace.
This Churchillian decision epitomizes the tragic burden of leadership in extreme times. Churchill did not summon his doctor, Lord Moran, or cite him to increase his authority.
In the sovereign decisions of government, you do not call the doctor for a peremptory prescription. You do not consult Pew for the latest poll results, which allegedly informed Trump that a large majority believed in a full lockdown as a response to the coronavirus.
You do not assert some spurious Andrew Cuomo-calculus, justifying surrender "if just one life is saved."
You do not offer a military exoneration: "We had to destroy the city to save it."
You do not try to escape the onus of decision making altogether and replace it with the holy writ of diagnosis and remedy.
If there were scientific answers to all public problems, we should elect Marxists and give them power. It is because some problems rise above the expertise of physicians, professors, meteorologists, and pharmacologists that we hold elections and award the winners with the burden and glory of providing leadership.
Sometimes it is necessary to allow Coventry to burn to save the country. No physician has any role in that fateful order.
Today, we are being told that to halt the spread of a flu virus, which in some apocalyptic predictions might kill millions, we have to close down most of the world economy. But closing down the world economy will surely kill millions or so impoverish their lives that they might wish to die.
Thus, the decision requires judgement. As my friend and colleague Bruce Chapman's book on Politicians: The Worst Kind of People to Run the Government, Except All the Others eloquently maintains, there is an order of decision making that cannot be subsumed by expertise alone. Politicians have the burden of free will and responsibility.
Philip Howard, the eminent lawyer and author of a luminous series of books, most recently Try Common Sense, explains that the effort to reduce thought to algorithm impoverishes both. "Try common sense," he says, "assign responsibility and accountability." Do not imagine that all decisions can be reduced to scientific expertise and specialization.
If Adam Smith's "division of labor," whereby all issues are ultimately treated as issues of efficiency and specialization, did not face limits, there would be no need for politics or politicians. We could assign all authority to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party), which in turn would cede actual power to bureaucracies of science.
Today's Prophecy
Our system is based on the assumption of human agency, free will, and choice. Even if humans could live longest and most happily in the pods of the "matrix," with every need and sense optimally gratified, we would spurn this utilitarian nirvana. We would seek freedom. We would assert common sense.
Common sense says that if a disease poses the threat of killing millions of elderly people already afflicted by medical conditions, those people should be sequestered and protected. But the rest of us should proceed with our work, taking prudent precautions, even if, amazingly, some of us will die anyway.
Adults in free nations should respect the facts of life and the hierarchies of the universe. We all ultimately live in Coventry.
If we are going to succeed as investors, we must assert the significance of our free will and domain. Whatever Trump does, we cannot defer to Dr. Fauci in shaping the future of the economy.

Zaur Antia to stay as head coach until 'after Rio 2016'
February 2, 2016 irishboxing	Rio 2016, Zaur Antia
Interim head coach Zaur Antia will remain the leader of the Irish boxing team until beyond the 2016 Olympics after replacing Billy Walsh last year. Antia has been backed by CEO of Sport Ireland, John Treacy after leading the sport through a tough few months after Walsh's controversial departure.
The head of Sport Ireland made the announcement as he opened the newly-constructed €4m Irish Institute of Sport Training Centre at the start of the year. The decision will come as a relief to Sport Ireland and a number of Ireland's Olympic hopefuls like Katie Taylor who have worked closely with Antia.
Even though she is yet to qualify for the Olympics, she will surely be one of the favourites to pick up gold with the bookmakers after her victory in London 2012. Although Walsh may have left for America after they offered him a large pay rise amongst other reasons, bookmakers Coral will prove some things really are for free by offering free bets on the boxing throughout the Olympics in Rio. If you've never bet on boxing before, then the Olympics would be a great time to open an account as Coral will give you €20 in free bets when you deposit €5.
Sport Ireland, the Olympic hopefuls and even those placing a free bet on the Ireland team to do well may be thrilled with the news Antia is staying, but there will be one group of people that will be even happier. The biggest relief will be from the IABA, who has been worried that more of their staff would head for the door like Walsh did. Although Antia has said he has had a number of offers from other countries to front their boxing teams, it seems Anita is focused on finishing the job that he and Walsh have worked on – preparing a team for Rio 2016.
Anita had big shoes to fill once he took charge of the team. Just days before his resignation, Walsh was still leading Ireland to a lot of successful victories. In October, Michael Conlan claimed gold in the World Boxing Championship. The evening was tinged with disappointment as Michael O'Reilly, who was already being coached by Antia at that time, lost his fight after a shock judge's decision.
Although Zaur Antia is widely recognised as one of the best amateur boxing coaches in the world, the IABA still looks likely to consider other candidates to replace him in the main role. But a successful medal haul at the Rio Olympics this year could mean that it won't just be those placing free bets that profit from the sport. Although they said they couldn't come close to what Walsh was offered for his new role in America, they will surely be forced to do everything they can to keep Anita if the team does well. Even if that does means finding some money for the sport from somewhere.

Welcome to Tight Lines, Bent Rods; an audio series about fishing, our Western NC region, and our environment.
I've seen this on the East Fork of the Pigeon River off Hwy 276. It wasn't heavy last year but about 2 years ago I saw a lot of it. Quite thick too. I had called the water dept and they indicated it would be a pollutant. However there are no homes/industry at that altitude so what caused it we didn't know.

GET THE ALBUM
Incomparable as time is for the dead and the dying, some six months prior to Kiefs' capitulation at the hands of The Shoemaker beneath a symphony of mist and stars, the automatic doors swung open before Eric Cross in the heart of the City of London.
Cross had been in an induced coma for a week so that they could monitor his brain activity and ensure that there had been no permanent damage done following his episode in the control room. He had again been interviewed by the Chief Medical Officer and Kiefs before his release and they were happy with his progress and his memory of the events, or lack thereof.
He was wearing the same clothes that he had arrived to work in nine days ago. Admittedly they had been washed and pressed for him but it added to the feeling that he had just carried out an impossibly long shift at work. Because of the nature of his work, the department had not allowed his family to visit in that time, instead permitting him to merely speaking to them on the phone since being brought out of his comatose state.
Stepping out into the street and running a hand through his thinning hair he felt a jarring sensation immediately. Something had changed. The tangible and intangible combining to form a harmonic drone. The usual smell of exhaust fumes mingling with the scent of the full litter bins in the summer heat had vanished. It was strangely sterile, and he felt a cold detachment from his surroundings as if wandering in on a stranger's grief. Cross started off along the road lined with tall Georgian style government buildings casting a suspicious look at the pigeon in the road that emitted a low brooding coo in an attempt to attract a mate from his disinterested companions. At the corner he turned into the convenience shop to buy a drink for the journey home.
At first he stepped back, screwing his balled up hands into his eyes in a cartoon of shock. The whole left hand side of the shop had been replaced by a long row of brand new, silver refrigerators which contained only one product. Electric blue plastic bottles of energy drink, available in just one flavour lined the shelves and there were even several cardboard cut-out promotional stands for the same drink throughout the shop.
BLUE COLA!!!
Got the urge? Go with it!
He stood and observed the scene with sheer amazement and then turned and approached the counter.
"Excuse me, do you have anything else to drink?" he asked the shopkeeper, as she leafed through a newspaper. She was in her mid-twenties, with black and red tattooed artwork of roses, vines, patterns and names stretching down her right arm and over the wrist. There was fresh evidence of a nose and cheek piercing which had been recently removed and had yet to heal. It seemed like she had made an overnight decision to conform and straighten up or something. The conservative Cross liked this.
"No," she said absent-mindedly as she closed the paper slowly and looked up to meet his gaze with her cold blue eyes. "Nothing but Blue." He looked down at the front page of the paper emblazoned with the headline 'THE SECRET TO BLUE COLA'S OVERNIGHT SUCCESS'.
"Not to worry," he stammered, taken aback by her icy expression. "I'll just take one of these instead," picking up a copy of the tabloid newspaper.
He wondered how long he had been out for and whether he had been told the truth by his superiors. He paid up and left the shop. He checked the date on the paper which confirmed what he was told when he came around in the hospital wing. Reasoning that he had been very distracted due to the project at work, it was entirely possible that he had managed to miss a whole popular culture phenomenon.
It was quiet in the city; the usual hum of traffic was completely absent and had been replaced by the percussive sound of footsteps. Thousands of footsteps. He approached the junction and started to quicken his steps, feeling unsettled when he saw it.
Newly erected advertising boards, hoarding and screens had been erected outside the basilica and even in the mid-afternoon sun they managed to cast an eerie blue light on the pale domed building and faces of the bystanders.
BLUE COLA! DRINK BLUE!
GIVE IN TO BLUE
TRY BLUE
NEW: BLUE LIGHT
He felt sick and for the first time considered that maybe he was still in a coma and this was all a figment of his imagination. He had to get home to his wife and children. They'd be able to tell him it was all real or not, he'd know if it was them or if they were just memories within his dream-state. He just had to finish the short journey to the tube station, get to Kings Cross and then he could sit on a train for 45 minutes, calm down and see this for what it was: a fad.
There were no cars or buses. The people walked in lines, evenly spaced and with great precision and organisation. Dressed and presented in the usual myriad styles, the people carried an array of strange objects. Cross noticed that one man even had a small motor which looked as if it had been removed from a lawnmower. It appeared to him that they were a huge line of ants raiding a picnic hamper and heading back to the colony.
The colony has already been poisoned, he thought, the blue liquid of the ant trap spreading across the human race.
He hastened his steps, weaving throughout the procession of people, as they ignored him. Suddenly he saw her. Still wearing her military uniform, Kiefs' assistant, Briggs was walking towards him. He smiled and began to say, "They've let me out," but she stared through him and sidestepped just as their paths were about to collide. His mouth dropped open as he turned to watch her pass, and before he knew it the next two ants in the line had done the same and she was gone.
He ran into St. Paul's underground station, fumbled for a ticket and was at a sprint by the time he reached the platform. As he emerged from the stairway he saw the blue light again. Adverts adorned every surface of the station except the tracks. He stumbled through the immaculate lines of commuters, looking up at the adverts on the ceiling and fell across the yellow line, cartwheeling with flailing limbs onto the tracks.
Panicking, he jumped to his feet just in time to acknowledge the arrival of the westbound central line train. The penetrating squeal of metal on metal gave him the split-second warning for the imminent impact, his bones crushed and flesh mutilated by the train as it came bearing down upon him. The other commuters on the platform continued to hold the line and walk in time, failing to recognise the tragic death of the one among them.
It was just another loss to chalk up on the ledger. Another loss on A Day Called X.

Q: Can I use a serial port as TCP/IP interface on Red Hat Linux? Background
We want to run an FTP server on a Red Hat Enterprise OS. The problem is, the machine we have does not have an Ethernet port/interface (please don't ask why; it's just a project requirement).
We only have a serial port.
Question
Is there COTS / open source software that I can use to make serial port "look" like a an Ethernet port? My project is commercial. We run Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3.
Note:
Pardon me if my post title is unclear. If you can think of a better title, please suggest or simply change the title.

A: You should also be able to use PPP (point-to-point protocol) to another endpoint over a serial connection.

A: I found a couple of things, but I'm not sure if it's the answer to my question. Please comment as you see fit:

Mouse anti Human MMP-3 antibody, clone 1B4 recognizes human matrix metalloproteinase 3, also known as MMP-3, stromelysin-1 or transin-1. MMP-3 in its pro-form is a 477 amino acid ~54kDa zinc dependent endopeptidase processed to a 378 amino acid, ~45 kDa peptide in the mature form containing 4 hemopexin-like repeats.
MMPs are also involved in cell proliferation, migration, differentiation and apoptosis (Jana et al. 2012). Most MMP's are synthesised as inactive zymogens and a propeptide region must be cleaved off before the enzyme becomes active. Their expression is increased dramatically in a variety of cancer types, where it indicates invasive disease and a poor prognosis (Holmberg et al. 2013). MMP-3 can degrade proteoglycan, fibronectin, laminin, and type IV collagen, but not interstitial type I collagen (Wilhelm et al. 1993). It can activate other MMP's and may be involved in the repair processes of the heart after myocardial infarction (Wang et al. 2011).
Mouse anti human MMP-3 antibody, clone 1B4 has been used successfully for the identification of MMP-3 in gastric cancer by both Western blotting and immunohistochemistry (Murray et al. 1998)

Sunnyvale, CA (April 20, 2015) – Icon Bioscience Inc., a specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on utilizing its patented and proprietary Verisome® extended-release drug delivery platform to develop unique intraocular eye-care therapeutics, today reported data from its pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial for IBI-10090. The results of the trial showed that IBI-10090 is highly effective in treating inflammation post cataract surgery.
An estimated 4 million cataract surgeries are performed in the U.S. annually. Inflammation is common following such surgery and can lead to serious complications, if left untreated. Post-operative care typically involves the use of an ophthalmic anti-inflammatory medication applied topically several times daily over an extended period of time.
IBI-10090 employs Icon's Verisome® technology to dispense an extended-release, biodegradable formulation of the anti-inflammatory agent dexamethasone into the anterior chamber of the eye through a single administration immediately following cataract surgery. "This is a novel therapeutic designed to improve the management of post surgery inflammation," noted David S. Tierney, MD, Icon's President & CEO. "IBI-10090 has been developed to increase efficacy by placing the drug at the site of action and to help patients, in a largely elderly population, avoid noncompliance and dosing errors associated with the comparatively burdensome process of multiple, self-administered, daily eye drops."
A discussion of the Phase 3 results was presented on April 19th at the 2015 Annual ASCRS-ASOA Symposium & Congress by Eric D. Donnenfeld, MD, Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology, New York University and Trustee, Dartmouth Medical School for the study investigators. Commenting on today's press release, Dr. Donnenfeld noted, "In this Phase 3 trial, IBI-10090 showed unprecedented efficacy in reducing inflammation associated with cataract surgery, with a safety profile similar to that of placebo. IBI-10090 could prove to be an important new therapy as an alternative to frequent corticosteroid drop instillation in post cataract surgical care."
Vernon Wong, MD, Icon's Chairman and founder, said "The success we have achieved to date with the development of IBI-10090 reflects the dedication and hard work of the entire team at Icon, and we are encouraged and excited about pursuing the next steps in bringing our first Verisome® based product out of the pipeline and into the marketplace."
IBI-10090 Phase 3 Clinical Trial Highlights
The Phase 3 study of IBI-10090 was a prospective, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial involving 394 patients consisting of both men and women aged 40 years and older, undergoing unilateral cataract surgery by phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. Three treatment arms included placebo and IBI-10090 at 342 µg or 517 µg placed into the anterior chamber of the eye at the conclusion of cataract surgery. Patients were followed for 90 days postoperatively. The primary endpoint in the clinical trial was the percentage of patients achieving anterior chamber cell (ACC) clearing at day 8, i.e., ACC=0. Secondary outcome measures included anterior chamber flare (ACF) and anterior chamber cell + flare (ACCF) clearing in the study eye. Ocular and non-ocular adverse events were assessed.
In both of the clinical trial's drug treatment arms, the percentage of patients with an ACC=0 grade at day 8 was statistically significant compared to placebo. Specifically, the percentage of patients with ACC clearing at day 8 was 63.1%, and 66.0% in the 342 µg and 517 µg treatment groups, respectively, (P< 0.001) compared to 25.0% in the placebo group.
With regard to secondary endpoints, the percentage of patients with ACF clearing at day 8 was 92.4%, and 89.1%, respectively, in the 342 µg and 517 µg treatment groups (P< 0.001) compared to 63.8% in the placebo group. The percentage of patients with ACCF clearing at day 8 was 63.1% and 67.3% in the 342 µg and 517 µg treatment groups, respectively, (P< 0.001) compared to 33.8% in the placebo group. Additionally, no ocular serious adverse events were reported up to day 90 and adverse events among the three groups were similar.

Getintothis' Jess Borden has the scoop on new music from the Oxford indie quartet, ahead of a much-anticipated O2 Academy date in October.
The first taste of new music from indie psychedelics Glass Animals sounds very much like that of a trippy daydream with the drum beat being reminiscent of that of a heart beat. The upbeat pop nature of this track really shows how much the band has taken from the raw energy of their live shows.
The colourful melodies drape over the deeper verse vocals and fade back and forth between the chorus and the verses. The repetition of the chorus "come back down to my knees, gotta get back gotta get free, come back down to my knees, be like them lean back to breathe" demonstrates an urgency which mirrors the building energy in the melody.
Life Itself appears a much more confident development of their first album with tracks such as Hazey and Black Mambo whilst retaining their unique style that first grabbed attention.
Their highly anticipated second album How To Be A Human Being is scheduled for release on August 26, ahead of an extensive US tour, followed by a UK jaunt featuring an appearance at Liverpool's O2 Academy.
Glass Animals play Liverpool O2 Academy 2 on Friday, August 26, doors 7pm; tickets go on sale Thursday, June 9 at 10am.

A winning formula in theory, but here the digital frosting is too-often a means of atoning for the absence of anything substantial underneath. Opener 'Twice' is a heart-rendingly pretty piano ballad, while 'Place To Belong' has a delicious undercurrent of longing and sadness. Elsewhere, however, there is a severe shortage of memorable hooks and melodies on this debut album.

How Have Developers in Other Game Genres Cashed in on the Success of Clash of Clans?
Clash of Clans is one of the best selling games ever made, and it played a huge part in making the booming mobile games market the behemoth it is today. The 2012 title from Supercell is the most successful app of all time in the App Store, with $6.4 billion earned within its first six years. The game has inspired similar offerings in the mobile industry, and developers on other platforms have also tried to cash in on its success by imitating its themes.
Clash of Clans Inspired Many Mobile Games
Game developers are quick to jump on trends and create similar content before it goes out of style, and this has been particularly prevalent in the mobile market due to the simplicity of the games and the quick turnaround in production. After Clash of Clans became one of the most popular titles of all time, there was a surge in freemium mobile strategy games.
Some of the most notable titles inspired by Clash of Clans include Plarium's Vikings: War of Clans, Guild Royale's Castle Clash, and Plunder Pirates from Midoki. These have all attracted high playing numbers and have made strategy games the most popular genre on mobile.
Direct Replica in the iGaming Sector
A branded slot can act as an indication of the success of a game, television series, or film in the modern age. Developers in the online casino industry only have a few seconds to draw players in with their offerings, which are always lined up alongside a vast list of other options. Therefore, they need to make sure their title grabs players' attention quickly. Drawing on the familiar is a common technique for this, which is why Tomb Raider, Game of Thrones, and Jurassic World are all extremely successful reel spinners.
It should come as no surprise, then, that there is a slot game that has been directly inspired by Clash of Clans to such an extent that its cover art resembles the Supercell game. Cash of Kingdoms from Microgaming and Slingshot Studios is one of the main games advertised at Jackpot City. This is the top-rated site to spin and win real money, as it furnishes players with a deposit match bonus of 100 percent up to $1600. Along with the lucrative offer, the site lures players in by displaying familiar-looking games like Cash of Kingdoms.
Console Game Developers Have Used its Themes
Clash of Clans is inspired by medieval civilizations like the Vikings, who would often engage in faction wars within local regions. There appears to have been an increase in Viking-related content on console since the release of Clash of Clans, suggesting that developers were trying to capitalize on the popularity of the mobile offering. Alternatively, the buzz around the Supercell title could have drawn more players to the games that would have been released anyway. These titles include the famous God of War, Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, and Kingdoms and Castles.
Almost a decade on since the release of Clash of Clans, its influence can be seen in every corner of the gaming industry. Has there been a title in recent memory that has had such a seismic impact?

US-Built Priuses Still Coming, Eventually
John Voelcker March 6, 2009 Comment Now!
Toyota site in Blue Springs, Mississippi, from Flickr user CochranForSenate
When gas hit $4 a gallon last summer and Prius sales were booming, Toyota announced plans to build the 2010 Toyota Prius in a brand-new factory in Blue Springs, near Tupelo, Mississippi. Then last December, with gas prices plummeting and the economy in freefall, the company put its plans on indefinite hold.
Now, a Toyota adviser has confirmed that he expects the plant to open when the economy turns around, saying Wednesday there's no truth to the idea that Toyota would walk away from its $300 million investment in the half-completed assembly plant.
Dennis Cuneo, who had been a senior vice president at the company, currently advises Toyota and its suppliers. Speaking to a crowd at Itawamba Community College, he described the move as purely a financial one. With global car sales down 20 percent or more, all companies are conserving their cash and retrenching.
Moreover, with hybrids piling up on dealer lots, Toyota can supply North America from its two existing Prius plants in Japan.
The plant had originally been intended to build the Toyota Highlander crossover sport utility vehicle. Industry observers were surprised when the company swiftly changed gears last summer, dumping plans for the Highlander and switching the plant to the Prius.
It makes sense, though, since the US is the largest single market for the cars. Toyota has said it hopes to sell 180,000 of the 2010 Prius.
So if you want a US-built hybrid, for the moment you have three choices: the Toyota Camry Hybrid, the Ford Escape Hybrid (and its twins the Mercury Mariner Hybrid and Mazda Tribute Hybrid), and the Ford Fusion Hybrid (and its twin, the Mercury Milan Hybrid). For the Prius, you'll have to wait a little longer.
