Bundle of investment news: FIFA, Huawei and buying shares at historic highs
4 minutes of reading / Companies / NASDAQ, stock, company, news, USA / 11/26/2021 11/26/2021
EA may part with FIFA. American companies will be allowed to export semiconductors to China. A new study by American economists casts doubt on the stock wisdom that, that the inflated prices of some companies can be justified by their future profitability.
Disclaimer: when we talk about, that something has grown, we mean comparison with the same quarter a year earlier. Since all US issuers, then all results are in dollars. When creating the material, sources were used, inaccessible to users from the Russian Federation. Hopefully, you know, what to do.
"Your expectations are your problems": Electronic Arts may lose FIFA
If you can't, but really want to, then you can: US allows semiconductor exports to China
The high price of the issuer's shares is not justified by the financial statements
Game maker and publisher Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: SHE) may lose license for FIFA games. The current agreement ends after the World Cup in Qatar in 2022, and FIFA does not want to renew the contract.
Thanks to this agreement, FIFA receives $ 150 million in royalties per year.. But the association wants more: she claims to be 250 million a year. Moreover, FIFA plans to limit the rights of exclusivity of different elements of the championships, such as stadiums, game tournaments, valuable virtual items and other, for EA games: most likely, FIFA wants to be able to sell the rights to this content to other companies.
For EA, the agreement with FIFA as follows, what does FIFA want, profitable much less: the essence of FIFA's requirements can be described something like this - the association wants to give EA less for a larger amount.
May be, the parties will agree. Maybe, and no: EA registered trademark EA Sports F. C. - apparently, to call the next game of the FIFA series in the event, if you can't agree.
Strictly speaking, if EA does not agree with FIFA, it will only lose the rights to the name, logo and the right to make games about the world championship. EA has separate contracts, about 300 pieces, as with whole clubs and leagues, as well as with individual players - so they stay in games.
But in theory, a name change could negatively impact EA's reporting.: EA's first FIFA game released in 1993, several generations of players have grown up on this brand. Will they want to play EA Sports F. C. 2023 instead of FIFA 2023? Can, Yes. Or maybe, and no.
Bundle of investment news: division of Amazon and Shell, couriers with convictions
We don't know for sure, how much money FIFA games give to EA. But EA itself says, that much. Basically, we can guess approximately. The financial report for 2021 has more than $ 1.6 billion in revenue - 28,42% from EA revenue - the company received from the Ultimate Team gaming service, tied to FIFA.
The FIFA initiative did not appear out of nowhere: football now, like other types of mass entertainment, going through hard times. A sharp drop in income due to the pandemic almost led to the creation of an alternative Super League in the summer. FIFA is looking for additional revenue streams in the face of falling revenues and rising costs of retaining top clubs. Getting EA to shell out and sell your content to other companies is a clear strategy for FIFA in the current environment.
All this news doesn't bode well for EA. Because commercially, FIFA games are the perfect cash cow. Every year, a game almost identical to last year's predecessor is released., which has some cosmetic changes, - but in general there is a lot to change there and it is not necessary. Any Jedi Fallen Order to do is long and dreary. But FIFA has a ready-made loyal audience. Whether it will remain after losing the FIFA trademark - unknown. But FIFA's movements, regardless of the outcome, can lead to other problems.
It seems to me, following FIFA clubs and players, including from American football, will also begin to demand a renegotiation of current agreements with EA and then EA's sports business will stagger. All professional sports are now out of money - so other EA sports partners can ask EA to share. And if that happens, then EA shareholders will have a reason to be very upset.
US recently imposed sanctions on Chinese tech companies Huawei and SMIC. American companies are prohibited from entering into direct relations with these companies without special rights.. But it turned out in October, that the US government issued more than $ 100 billion in export licenses to American companies - 113 licenses for 61 billion for Huawei shipments and 188 licenses for 42 billion for SMIC shipments. Deliveries were made from 9 November 2020 to 20 april 2021. This news is rather good..
IPO Softline: IT provider enters two exchanges
Many US semiconductor and equipment manufacturers supply large volumes of goods to China. The threat of a ban on trade with other Chinese customers constantly looms over the business. But, as shown by the example of export licenses for Huawei, the American government, for all its dislike of China, does not intend to ruin its own high-tech industry.
It gives hope, that in the event of another round of trade war between the two countries, the business of American issuers with a significant share of sales in China will not be much affected.
Recently, American economists shared a study by Lifetime Earnings. In it, they analyzed the reporting of over 16 thousand American companies., who managed to bargain on the stock exchange during the period from 1 January 1975 to 1 january 2019. Here's what you can see in this study..
Centenarians. Only 17% companies are traded on the stock exchange to this day, but 42% merged with other companies. The rest disappeared from the exchange for various reasons.: became private, went bankrupt or were excluded by regulators.
Pumping. Investors are pumping quotes of some companies to the stratosphere in anticipation of that, that the growth in profits of these companies will justify the extremely high price in the future. it, basically, not a secret. Here's what was really unexpected about the study., so this is the conclusion about, that these expectations are often not justified and are not realized over long distances. Relatively speaking, for every 10 $, spent on the purchase of one expensive and promising company in 2000, by 2019 it will be good if there will be 2 $ lifetime earnings. That is, the company pumped up in anticipation of "great accomplishments", usually, does not really justify the credit of trust given to her.
The best result of the surveyed companies was Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN). Adjusted for the division of shares, they were worth in 1997 about 24 $. By 2019, the company's total earnings per share were approximately 53 $ - adjusted for inflation. This is not the worst result - but the lion's share of the increase in profits took place in 2017-2018. So if you took Amazon stock in 1997, then you would have waited a very long time for profit, justifying its cost. But most companies do not even show such a result..
One side, the researchers' conclusions are quite pessimistic: most likely, overvalued unprofitable startups existing today will never justify their current value - and therefore their quotes grow only due to the irrational belief of investors in their future success. Which means, that bloated P / S and P / E exist by credit of trust, issued without reason. And this can lead to a strong drop in the value of shares..
Обзор Freedom Holding: freedom of finance
On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with that. Shares of unprofitable startups do not necessarily expect a fall. More than likely, that such companies will be bought up by tech giants. So you can buy companies at historical highs - but not with the expectation, that their business will justify such a price in a certain number of years, and with the expectation, that their life on the stock exchange will end with their purchase by someone larger.

Harrisburg School District claims it became aware of $10 million federal funding suspension during audit meeting
Posted 6:08 PM, April 24, 2019, by Sean Naylor
HARRISBURG — Harrisburg School District claims that it became aware of a $10 million federal funding suspension on Wednesday by the Pennsylvania Department of Education during a meeting with the department.
In a news release, the district said that it met with the department around 2 p.m. to address and resolve issues and questions related to the ongoing audit — the district received a list of 14 unanswered information requests and agreed to comply with 13 of them, the one being unsupervised remote access to the district's eFinance system by the auditors. The release stated that the district was informed by the department at the conclusion of the meeting that the funds were suspended at 12 p.m.
The district claimed that it questioned the purpose of taking the action two hours prior to the meeting and asked that the decision be reconsidered as it agreed to comply with all but one of the department's information requests. It then renewed the prior offer to give the auditors onsite direct access to the eFinance system as compromise but the offer was rejected.
The district noted that the suspended federal funding represents approximately six percent of its $150 million in annual revenues.

As part of an extended Earth Day Celebration at the Vallarta Botanical Garden, on April 23rd volunteers and guests took a field trip to the Rancho El Santuario (about a 20 minute drive from the Garden) to participate in the installation of a new nest box for the native Military Macaw, one of the largest and most colorful parrots in the Americas. Intrepid climbers scaled to nearly the uppermost branches of an impressive pine tree of well over 20 meters to set up an anchor and hoisting system for the nest box, an octagonal structure of about 1.3 meters high and 90 kilograms in weight. The mass of this giant nest box was great enough to sway the mighty pine back and forth each time the muscular team of volunteers on the ground heaved on the rope to pull it into place.
The original impetus for this conservation project was a response to a senselessly cruel crime against nature. While visiting his ranch back in December of 2012, Francisco Espinoza Ibarra was horrified and saddened to see that someone had cut down the hollow old pine on his property that was home to an entire colony of Military Macaws. The way the nest cavity was carved up by chain saw cuts was clear evidence that the motivation was to poach the hatchlings for sale on the black market as illegal pets. Not only did the former company of these majestic birds provide Francisco and his family with great joy, they were an excellent draw for tourists who would pay to see them, thereby providing an economic incentive for their continued care. Something needed to be done to give them a second chance! As a response to this tragedy, volunteers from throughout Cabo Corrientes, Puerto Vallarta and beyond came together to install segments of the original trunk as "resurrected" nest sites. With the technical support of the Vallarta Botanical Garden and Vallarta Adventures, the project was quickly off the ground. Fast forwarding to the following nest season, miracle of miracles occurred and both nest boxes were occupied and resulted in yet another generation of young guacamayas (Spanish for "macaws").
Thanks in part to a donation of climbing equipment from Defenders of Wildlife, Francisco, along with his family and friends, have been installing more boxes and the guacamaya population at their ranch is expanding beyond their wildest dreams. The most recently installed nest box is number nine of the new generation of boxes designed and built by Jorge Novoa, Francisco's brother-in-law. The patron of this particular box is Todd McGrain, founder of The Lost Bird Project, a New York based not-for-profit dedicated to conservation and awareness building for threatened species of birds across the planet, and especially here in North America. McGrain was amazed by the work of Francisco and Jorge after visiting El Rancho Santuario in March at the invitation of the Vallarta Botanical Garden to participate in the Vallarta Bird Festival.
On the day of this most recent nest box installation, Vallarta Botanical Garden administrators pledged the sponsorship two more nest boxes, in honor of "Aves del Paraíso" a local not-for profit caring for rescued parrots. Another participant, Vallarta Botanical Garden member Susana Borneman, pledged a box as well, which will bring the total amount within the Rancho el Santuario to an even dozen by the summer rainy season. Aside from sponsoring a nest box (5,000 pesos or 250 USD each including carpentry, custom engraving, and installation) other sponsorship opportunities include donations to expand the preserve land of the Rancho El Santuario (currently at about 65 hectares), and installing solar powered cameras (to deter poachers, monitor the birds, and allow people from all over the world to visit virtually). Those of you lucky enough to live in the Vallarta Region or have occasion to visit can experience the thrill of bird watching at the Rancho El Santuario for yourselves. A guided tour is only 200 pesos per person for groups of three or more, otherwise a minimum amount of 500 pesos is charged for either individuals or pairs. Tours may be booked by calling 322 223 6234 or emailing novoapv@hotmail.com. Nature tours are even more rewarding when you know that you're contributing to great local conservation!

[ARCHIVED] Open House June 6 Showcases Pet Adoption Center Renovations
Contact: Doug Bolnick, Department of Public Health Public Information Officer, 636-949-7408
St. Charles County, Missouri – Glass-lined kennels and a "cattery" are just two of the many improvements recently completed at the St. Charles County Pet Adoption Center, located at 4850 Mid Rivers Mall Drive in St. Peters. The public is invited to see these exciting renovations first-hand at an Open House from 3-6 p.m., on Wednesday, June 6 at the facility.
"Providing high-quality care for the animals we host and a pleasurable environment for our guests have always been priorities for the Division of Humane Services' staff," Division Director Katie Willis says. "The improvements we've made over the past several months give us a better opportunity to provide a great experience for our animals and prospective pet parents."
New features at the Pet Adoption Center include:
A fully renovated dog kennel — featuring 72 new, glass-lined shelters, an upgraded sanitation system and an enhanced interaction area.
An improved outdoor play area for dogs.
A modern "cattery" for kittens and adult cats, with a play zone and interaction rooms.
A public meeting and training room with space to host classes on pet care, grooming and ownership.
During the Open House, guests will have an opportunity to:
Tour the facility.
Win prizes by participating in an interactive contest
Visit informational booths on animal health, grooming, pet training and more.
Join the Pet Adoption Center's volunteer team or become a Pet Foster Parent.
Take advantage of a special adoption rate of $20 for all dogs or cats ages 6 months or older (discounted rate is only available during the Open House hours).
The 15,000-square foot facility provides kennel housing for dogs, cats and other adoptable pets, as well as a veterinary clinic to care for lost pets and stray animals. It features animals of many breeds, sizes and ages that are eager to join a forever home. The Pet Adoption Center team strives to collect a history of the animal, treat medical issues and assess temperament, so that these pets can make a smooth transition into their new home. Staff will help visitors select the best pet for their family, allow time for interaction before adoption, and provide suggestions on being a good pet parent.
Last year, the St. Charles County Pet Adoption Center found homes for more than 2,600 animals through adoption. The $60 adoption fee for dogs and cats includes a health examination, initial vaccinations, spay or neuter, microchipping and other services that are not always included when adopting elsewhere. The facility is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday (with extended hours until 6:30 p.m. on Wednesdays). As an added convenience, the Pet Adoption Center is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. To view pets available for adoption, please visit www.sccmo.org/pets or stop by the facility today.

InterLock® adjuvant works effectively with a wide range of herbicides to improve spray deposition and manage drift. OnTarget™ adjuvant is designed specifically for use with dicamba herbicide chemistries to reduce driftable fines and enhance canopy penetration. Talk with your agronomist about what adjuvant would work best for your fields.
4. Know your weed emergence schedule.
As I mentioned earlier, marestail can emerge in the fall, but it is one of the earlier weeds that also emerges in the spring. Another early emerger is giant ragweed. With these weeds, an early burndown application is important to achieve adequate control. Waterhemp and Palmer amaranth have a longer period of emergence — from early spring to peak emergence in June and early July. So make sure you use an effective preemergence herbicide, but also use a layered residual herbicide post emergent for late-emerging Palmer amaranth and waterhemp.
Large weeds result in limited options and higher costs for you. It pays to be proactive and consistent to achieve season-long weed control, so be sure to get an early start." allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Spring is just around the corner, and you know that the emergence of troublesome weeds won't be far behind. If you haven't done so already, talk with your local trusted advisor about your weed-control strategy for 2018. Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you formulate a plan to tackle weeds throughout their growth cycles.
1. Look at last year.
Evaluate the performance of your 2017 weed-control strategy to see what worked well and what you'd like to switch up. Note last year's most prevalent weeds and devise your plan for controlling them first. Your local agronomist can equip you with resources — for example, university research and/or Answer Plot® Program data — that can help you make good agronomic and economic decisions for your fields.
2. Start with a clean field at planting.
Use tillage or an effective burndown application to get your crop off to a weed-free start. An effective herbicide strategy consists of using multiple modes of action, correct herbicide rates and timely postemergence applications. In no-till cropping systems, I usually recommend doing a fall burndown. Fall-emerging marestail is very difficult to control with herbicides in the spring, especially in parts of the Midwest. If you did not do a fall burndown, your spring burndown will need to use effective modes of action to control any winter annuals and/or marestail in your fields.
I recommend using three effective modes of action for any weed-management program. This strategy consists of residuals and postemergent herbicides. The postemergent herbicides should be applied in a timely manner and offer another residual to protect against later-emerging weeds such as waterhemp and Palmer amaranth. This can be an effective strategy for both traditional tillage and no-till systems. Be sure to check herbicide labels for plant growth restrictions on postemergent herbicides.
3. Choose the right adjuvant.
The goal is to get all the herbicide you possibly can to the target weed or soil, so choosing the right adjuvant for whatever burndown system you use is key. InterLock® adjuvant works effectively with a wide range of herbicides to improve spray deposition and manage drift. OnTarget™ adjuvant is designed specifically for use with dicamba herbicide chemistries to reduce driftable fines and enhance canopy penetration. Talk with your agronomist about what adjuvant would work best for your fields.
Spring is just around the corner, and you know that the emergence of troublesome weeds won't be far behind. If you haven't done so already, talk with your local trusted advisor about your weed-control strategy for 2018. Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you formulate a plan to tackle weeds throughout their growth cycles.
Large weeds result in limited options and higher costs for you. It pays to be proactive and consistent to achieve season-long weed control, so be sure to get an early start.

Karel Torfs (Boechout, 2 februari 1912 – 2002) was een Belgisch componist, dirigent en fluitist.

Levensloop
Torfs studeerde fluit aan het Koninklijk Vlaams Conservatorium in Antwerpen. Hij deed ook privéstudies bij Karel De Schrijver voor harmonie, contrapunt, fuga en orkestratie. Nadat hij afgestudeerd was, werd hij orkestmusicus. Maar sinds 1933 was hij militair muzikant. In 1946 werd hij benoemd tot oberluitenant-kapelmeester en in 1951 werd hij kapelmeester van de militaire kapel van de 7e Brigade in Duitsland. In 1955 werd hij benoemd tot luitenant. Op 11 februari 1957 benoemde de toenmalige Minister van Landsverdediging Karel Torfs tot dirigent van het Groot Harmonieorkest van de Belgische Gidsen in Brussel. In deze functie bleef hij tot het einde van het jaar 1961. Aansluitend werd hij tot erekapelmeester van dit orkest benoemd.

Ook in het civiele leven was Torfs in de blaasmuziek werkzaam. Zo was hij onder andere dirigent van de Koninklijke Fanfare "Sinte Cecilia", Londerzeel van het midden van de jaren vijftig tot 1980 en oogstte met dit fanfarekorps grote successen in binnen- en buitenland. Ook bij de Koninklijke Katholieke Fanfare "De Vrije Vlaamse Zonen", Kapelle-op-den-Bos was hij van 1963-1978 dirigent.

Als componist was hij een actief medewerker om het repertorium van de harmonie- en fanfareorkesten te verrijken.

Disney's staple of movies are already dominating box office receipts and that's not good for competition within Hollywood. | Source: Photo by Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP
Disney's Fox Purchase is a Terrible Deal for Hollywood
October 6, 2020 UTC: 2:20 PM. June 19, 2019 UTC: 5:45 AM. by Lawrence Meyers
By CCN.com: The Walt Disney Company's merger with 21st Century Fox was hailed in the entertainment industry as a great deal for both companies. There's a lot of truth to that, particularly for Disney, as far as revenue is concerned.
Disney obtained the rights to numerous franchises under the Fox banner, including Avatar, Men In Black, Alien, Die Hard, Home Alone, Maze Runner, Night at the Museum, Planet of the Apes, and X-Men.
This, however, has not been such a good thing from the standpoint of creativity, originality, or economics for Disney or Hollywood.
Welcome to the Disney Oligopoly
With the number of film studios dwindling, the movie industry faces the same challenges that any oligopoly faces: lack of innovation.
It becomes much easier for film executives to lean on franchises and blockbusters, which are known quantities, than risk capital and reputations on new projects.
Hollywood hates accountability. Everyone has a boss and nobody wants to have to tell that boss that they messed up by green-lighting a lousy film that loses money. That's because their boss will have to explain it to THEIR boss.
It's easy to palm off responsibility for producing the failed "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" by pointing out it was a film in an established franchise. There was no risk taken in making the film, so why should anyone lose their job?
Hollywood Hates Risk
Because Hollywood is averse to risk, it will rely more and more on established properties.
For entities like Disney, whose shareholders also don't want risk, that leaves the path of least innovation.
The danger, however, is that oligopolies also lead to product of reduced quality over time. If there is limited competition, then why bother trying to defeat what doesn't exist? Corner will get cut. Less expensive talent will be hired. The films will suffer in quality.
The Numbers Tell the Story
Of the top 15 all-time box office revenue winners, 12 belong to Disney or Fox. "BV" is Buena Vista, Disney's distribution arm.

The trend towards oligopolistic control over films of declining quality has been evident since 2002. The number of tickets sold in North America has been trending down – off 22% from its 2002 high.

Box office revenue (in billions) has increased 30 percent during that period…

…but that's only because of a corresponding 55 percent increase in the average ticket price. Hollywood offsets declining attendance with higher prices.

Things won't improve. The studios have effectively abandoned low-to-mid-budget range films to Netflix and Amazon.

Complaints about language discrimination in school Olympiads
Andrejs Berdnikovs: Sarmite Elerte is seeking revenge and the "Unity" will play tough on ethnic issues
The regulations issued by the Cabinet of Ministers envisages that starting from 2013, all school Olympiads will be conducted only in the state language, thus excluding Russian language from the possibility to receive information about the tasks and provide answers. The newspaper reminds that during the recent years, several attempts were made to exclude Russian from communication. A teacher and former MP Jakovs Pliners believes the new regulations are unfair and calls the Prime Minister to restore equal opportunities of Latvian and Russian pupils. The Head of the Consultative Council on the Education of Ethnic Minorities of the Ministry of Education Romans Alievs also believes that languages should not be restricted, because the pupil might misunderstand the task and fail; besides, testing the knowledge of the state language is not the goal of the school Olympiads. The head of the Latvian Association in Support of Schools with Russian Language of Instruction (LAShOR) and an MP Igors Pimenovs together with four other MPs (Concord Centre) sent a letter to the Prime Minister, pointing out that the new regulations put the pupils of minority schools into unequal situation: the pupils might misunderstand the tasks given in the state language therefore make errors. Vesti Segodnya
A political scientist, ex-advisor of the Minister of Culture on integration issues Andrejs Berdnikovs believes that the decision of the political party "Unity" to nominate the former Minister of Culture Sarmite Elerte as a candidate to the post of the Mayor of Riga is a "spit in the face of the Russian voters" and a sign that the "Unity" will play tough on ethnic issues and is unwilling to make any compromises. According to Berdnikovs, Sarmite Elerte as a person is uncompromising and currently seeking revenge. Mr.Berdnikovs believes that if the "Unity" wins the elections, Mrs.Elerte would try to ban the annual celebration of the Victory over Nazism on 9 May. Chas
Reforms Party proposes to allow choosing one additional day in a year for celebrating important religious events
Candidate for the post of the Mayor of Riga Baiba Broka: power in Riga should be overtaken by ethnic Latvians
Chairman of the Union of Politically Repressed Persons: Russian community of Latvia is not responsible for the Communist repressions
The Reforms Party (RP) proposes to allow employees to choose one additional day in a year for celebrating important religious events. The RP proposed similar draft amendments in March 2012, however, it was not even discussed at the coalition's meeting. Diena
A candidate for the post of the Mayor of Riga from the nationalists union All for Latvia!-FF/LNIM Baiba Broka in an interview with TV channel LNT stated that "After (municipal) elections it is necessary to establish a coalition of ethnic Latvian parties and the power in Riga should be overtaken by ethnic Latvians." At present, the Mayor of Riga is Nils Usakovs who represents party the Concord Centre and is ethnic Russian. The Ex-Minister of the Regional Development Edgars Zalans, in his turn, an interview with Chas, stated Riga has always been multinational city and it is wrong to say that it should be returned to ethnic Latvian. Mr Zalans also stated that at the moment, none of the parties is capable to propose a successful alternative to compete against Nils Usakovs at present. Chas, Vesti Segodnya
Yesterday, speaking at the opening ceremony of the Monument to the Victims of the Communist Repressions the chairman of the Union of Politically Repressed Persons Gunars Resnais stated that the politicians are setting up against each other ethnic Latvians and ethnic Russians, which is unfair, because the Russian community of Latvia is not responsible for the Communist repressions and in everyday life the people get along well with each other. He believes the Monument could become a bridge which unites the society, because the Communist repressions impacted all communities. In the meantime, he also believes that those Russian speakers, who arrived during the Soviet era and lost their identity and language, are a "plaque, which paddles on our ethnic feelings". The monument was funded by the Riga City Council and the opening ceremony was attended by various politicians. Chas, NRA

Patriarch Cyril of the Russian Orthodox Christian Church criticizes Latvia for problem regarding Russian language and non-citizens
Sestdiena interviews a woman who immigrated from Ukraine to Latvia
Activists for non-citizens' rights held adiscussion in Strasbourg
Newspapers report about a congress of a political party Unity held last weekend. Party's leaders put the main emphasis on the forthcoming municipal elections and in particular on municipal elections in Riga. The candidate to the Mayor of Riga Sarmite Elerte stated that Riga should be ethnically Latvian and at the same time it should be European, diverse, multilingual, open, and dynamic and create city. Mrs Elerte stated that Riga will not become two-lingual, two-community and split city. Vesti Segodnya, Chas, Diena, Latvijas Avize, Neatkariga
Patriarch Cyril of Moscow and all the Rus' (Russian Orthodox Christian Church) during meeting with the Mayor of Riga Nils Usakovs, stated if Latvia solves issues regarding status of Russian language and large-scale non-citizenship it will bring social peace and stability to the country. The Patriarch stated it is non-sense that Russian language has status of foreign language in Latvia when for 44% of its residents it is native language. Vesti Segodnya, Chas
Weekly magazine Sestdiena features an interview with one of a project's AMITIE ambassador in Latvia Mira. Mira arrived to Latvia from Ukraine two years ago following her husband. At present, Mira works in Riga and studies for her third Masters degree in one of the Latvian universities. Mira is actively involved in the work of non-governmental organisations on issues concerning asylums seekers.

Vesti Segodnya reports about a discussion about non-citizenship problem in Latvia held at the European Parliament's Intergroup for Traditional Minorities, National Communities and Languages in November 2012. The discussion was initiated by the MEP from Latvia Tatjana Zdanoka. According to the activists for non-citizens' rights who participated in the Intergroup discussion, the large-scale non-citizenship in Latvia is the basis for discriminative policies against Russian language, schools, culture and the exclusion of ethnic Russian residents from the governance of the country.
Security Police wants to close a number of radical organisations
ID cards issued to non-citizens are not valid for travelling within the Schengen states
Job advertisement requires "do not to switch on Russian music in the car"
According to the head of the Security Police (SP) Janis Reiniks, the SP gathers materials in order to close and ban several radical organisations active in Latvia. Newspaper Vesti Segodnya reports most likely the ban will concern the radical organisation "Centre of Gustavs Celmins" which promotes ultra right ideology and whose leader Igors Siskins recently got arrested for attempt to buy explosives.
Vesti Segodnya reports that Latvian ID cards issued to non-citizens are not valid for travelling within the Schengen states. The MP Boriss Cilevics (Concord Centre) believes that such fact puts non-citizens in unequal situation comparing to citizens because for Latvian citizens the ID cards are valid document for travelling in Europe. The Concord Centre asks the Minister of Foreign Affairs to explain the situation because both Latvian citizens and non-citizens do not need visas for travelling to these countries.
A doctor in Daugavpils (mainly Russian speaking town close to Byelorussian border) published a job advertisement for the vacancy of a "car driver" listing as one of the job requirements "do not to switch on Russian music, Russian and Belorussian radio stations in the car in the presence of employer." At the same time, the announcement says that the ethnic affiliation of a candidate does not matter. The doctor explained to the journalists that such requirement is based on the fact that he dislikes Russian music and prefers music in other languages. Experts interviewed by the journalists see nothing wrong in discriminating against specific language. Representative of the Latvian Employers' Confederation Agnese Elksne stated that "employer is entitled to set restrictions on playing music at the workplace. The legal acts do not regulate actions of the employer regarding playing of music in specific language or of specific nations". The head of the Equal Treatment Division of the Ombudsman's Office Sarlote Berzina referred to the labour legislation and stated that the ban on listening music at the workplace is determined by the employer, which is envisioned in the internal labour regulations.

Sarmite Elerte will not use Russian language if becomes the Mayor of Riga
Ambassador of Egypt criticizes Latvia for inclusion of Egyptian citizens in so-called "black list"
The Unity's candidate to the post of Riga Mayor Sarmite Elerte stated she will not use Russian language being a Mayor. Mrs Elerte believes the city Mayor should create favourable environment for Latvian language and it will promote learning of Latvian language by non-Latvians. Vesti Segodnya
Vesti Segodnya reports that the Ambassador of Egypt to Latvia Mr Mohamed Osama Taha Elmagdoub criticizes Latvia for inclusion of Egyptian citizens in so-called "black list" and thus many Egyptians cannot receive visas to Latvia. The Ambassador also blames Latvian mass media warning residents of coming to Egypt due to conflicts in Cairo. The newspaper, in its turn, notes that Egypt itself adopted regulations which complicate entrance of Latvian non-citizens to the country demanding for additional requirements, thus treating Latvian non-citizens unequally to the citizens.

Corruption Indictments Rock Long Island, NY
Adam Klasfeld / October 20, 2016
BROOKLYN, N.Y. (CN) — In a Long Island spin-off of "Albany on Trial," federal prosecutors unveiled charges against two of Nassau County's highest-ranking officials.
A 13-count indictment unsealed Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York charges Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano; his wife, Linda Mangano; and Oyster Bay Supervisor John Venditto.
Prosecutors say Edward Mangano, who occupied the highest seat of power in Nassau County, set up a $450,000 "no-show" restaurant job for Linda.
An exasperated statement on the case by U.S. Attorney Robert Capers calls attention to the drumbeat of similar cases that have rocked New York in recent years.
"Yet again, we announce a breach of trust by two of our public officials," Capers wrote by way of introduction.
"In 2010, Nassau County voters granted Edward Mangano the opportunity to serve by electing him their highest ranking official in the County," he said. "Similarly, in 1998, Town of Oyster Bay voters granted John Venditto the honor of electing him their chief elected official. Yet, as alleged in the indictment, both of these men undermined the very system of laws they promised to uphold by furthering their personal interests rather than the best interests of their constituents."
Mangano and his wife, both 54, are residents of Bethpage.
Prosecutors say the couple traveled on an unidentified co-conspirator's dime to Niagara Falls, Canada; Marco Island, Fla.; Amelia Island, Fla; St. Thomas; and Turks and Caicos — while also accepting luxury gifts that included an office chair valued at more than $3,300, a more-than $3,600 massage chair, and a more-than $7,300 Panerai Luminar watch.
The unnamed benefactor is said in court papers to own roughly 30 businesses in Nassau County, including restaurants in Hicksville and Queens, N.Y.
Mangano's charges have long been anticipated since the case of disgraced New York Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, who was convicted last year in a spate of corruption prosecutions against the state's Legislature and executive branch.
During that trial, a jury heard Skelos on a wiretap pressuring Mangano to award a Hurricane Sandy contract to AbTech, an Arizona-based company that sold sponge-like products to clean water pipes.
Though Mangano is not charged with conduct involving AbTech, prosecutors do accuse him of steering a $237,000 emergency food contract in the wake of the storm to the restaurateur who underwrote his travels.
Mangano also helped land this person's company a $200,000 contract to supply bread and rolls to the Nassau County Correctional Center, according to the indictment.
With Mangano's assistance, Oyster Bay's supervisor Venditto obtained the town's guarantee on four loans totaling about $20 million to the same benefactor, and Venditto received free limousine service for more than two years in return, prosecutors say.
Charges in the indictment include bribery, extortion, obstruction of justice and honest services fraud.
The Nassau County Executive's office declined to comment, and the town of Oyster Bay has not returned a phone call seeking comment.

New Zealand's economic growth is running at an annual rate of around 3½ percent. While dairy prices have declined sharply, domestic demand has retained momentum, supported by the ongoing growth in consumption and construction activity. Interest rates are low by historical standards and continue to support domestic demand. The exchange rate does not reflect the decline in export prices this year and remains unjustifiably and unsustainably high. We expect to see a further significant depreciation.
CPI inflation remains modest, at 1 percent in the year to September. Weak global inflation, falls in international oil prices and the high exchange rate are the main influences. Inflation in the non-tradeables sector remains subdued with capacity pressures having less impact than usual.
Growth is expected to remain at or above trend through 2016, with unemployment continuing to decline. Modest inflation pressures suggest the expansion can be sustained for longer than previously expected with a more gradual increase in interest rates. Underpinning this, the economy's productive capacity is being boosted by high labour force participation, strong net immigration and continued investment growth.
Risks to the growth outlook include dairy prices, which are expected to recover in 2015, the overvalued exchange rate, and the strength of construction activity. Inflation risks include the impact of rising capacity pressures on domestic inflation, the response of house prices to the strong migration inflows, and the impact of lower oil prices.
With output projected to grow at or above capacity, CPI inflation is expected to approach the 2 percent midpoint of the Reserve Bank's target range in the latter part of the forecast period. Some further increase in the OCR is expected to be required at a later stage. Further policy adjustments will depend on data emerging over the assessment period.

Leave a gift in your Will to Dilworth
Introducing The James and Isabella Dilworth Circle: joining an extraordinary legacy.
Dilworth is the legacy and vision of one couple who have changed the lives of thousands of New Zealand boys.
Their names were James and Isabella Dilworth, and in 1894, James gifted their considerable wealth to establish a school for boys of any race and creed whose parents were experiencing "straitened circumstances", so that they might become "good and useful members of society".
Over a century later, their incredible legacy continues to transform boys' lives. Beyond measure. Today, as then, we accept boys from families experiencing personal or financial hardship and offer them lifetimes of possibility through the power of an excellent education. Every year many more families and young men apply to attend Dilworth, but the capacity of the Dilworth Trust Board to do so is limited. We would like to extend this life-changing opportunity to a greater number of students if possible.
We invite Old Boys and supporters who share our commitment to the highest quality education for boys to build on the generous and far-reaching vision of our founders and leave a gift in their Will to Dilworth. If you do, you will truly help to transform boys' lives. Thank you.
If you include Dilworth in your Will and notify us that you have done so, you qualify for membership of the James and Isabella Dilworth Circle. As a member you will receive a special certificate and be invited to selected functions with other members.
Why leave a gift in my Will to Dilworth?
If you were a Dilworth Old Boy, you were the beneficiary of an amazing gift: you received an education that many families dream about. Leaving a gift in your Will is a way to give something back to Dilworth and help the students of tomorrow have a chance to reach their full potential. Just as you did.
Perhaps you are a supporter of the Dilworth vision, appreciate the transformational gift and value of education at Dilworth, and would like to support a greater number of Dilworth students in the future. Leaving a gift in your Will is a way to ensure that you will make an invaluable contribution that has a profound impact well beyond your own life.
Dilworth Foundation Trustees
Established in 2016, The Dilworth Foundation Trustees have responsibility for ensuring the Dilworth Foundation receives and directs philanthropic support as intended. The Trustees of the Dilworth Foundation are:
· Aaron Snodgrass (also a member of the James and Isabella Dilworth Circle)
· Simon Curran (also a member of the James and Isabella Dilworth Circle)
· Brian Maltby
· Peter Alexander
· Jonathan Mason
· Frances Valintine
Enduring generosity
Other people have followed in the footsteps of James and Isabella Dilworth by providing for Dilworth in their Wills.
Anna Wynn Southern, a Dilworth mother and former President of Dilworth Family Connect. Anna passed away in January 2019 and chose to leave a gift in her Will, knowing how a Dilworth education transformed the life of her son, Jason.
Rosemary Clark, mother of Dilworth Old Boy, Conrad Libischer (Dux, Prefect, 1st XV), also supported Dilworth Family Connect during her lifetime, and left a gift in her Will so that other boys could have the same opportunity as her son.
Arthur Sydney Norman chose Dilworth as the recipient of his generosity when he left a significant gift in his Will in 2015, which was used to support the construction of the Junior Campus Sports Centre, a transformational facility that was formally opened in March 2019 by the Governor-General of New Zealand.
Having no family of her own, Earline Wright established the Ella Burford Charitable Trust to provide for tertiary scholarships and trade grant awards for Dilworth Old Boys. The Ella Burford Awards are made annually at the Dilworth Founders Day Assembly.
How do I make a bequest?
You can instruct your solicitor or professional advisor to leave a gift to the Dilworth Foundation in your Will using the following template. You may specify a particular purpose or scholarship, but we encourage you to allow the Foundation to apply your gift to the greatest needs for student support, education and care at the time, as outlined in the template below.

Mary was a 'courageous woman' up to the end, pope says
By Junno Arocho Esteves • Catholic News Service • Posted September 15, 2017
VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Mary was a courageous woman who stood by Jesus even when the crowds turned against him and even though she knew he would face a tragic death, Pope Francis said.
"At the very end, she is there, standing, looking at her son" on the cross. "Maybe she heard comments: 'Look, there is the mother of one of the three delinquents.' But she remains. Silent. She is the mother, she does not deny her son," the pope said Sept. 15 in his homily during a morning Mass in the chapel of the Domus Sanctae Marthae.
Commemorating the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, the pope reflected on the day's Gospel reading from St. John which recounted Jesus' final moments on the cross.
Mary, the pope said, had heard Simeon's prophecy that a sword would pierce her heart and knew that her son would one day give his life for humanity.
Yet she followed Jesus the whole time, which is why "we say that Mary is the first disciple," the pope said.
Pope Francis told those gathered in the chapel with him that the scene of Mary at the foot of the cross is something to be contemplated in silence rather than explained.
From the cross, "'woman,' — her son says — 'behold your children.' He doesn't say 'mother,' he says 'woman,'" the pope said. "A strong, courageous woman; a woman who was there to say, 'This is my son: I do not deny him.'"

The whole Volkswagen group is massively investing in electric vehicles as it is trying to move away from diesel vehicles.
"This planning round bears a clear signature: We are taking a very systematic approach to electric mobility and will be much more focused in future. We are consistently prioritizing our resources for future-oriented products and services that are highly attractive and relevant to the market. With models such as the recently presented Audi e-tron GT concept, we want to electrify people again for Audi and at the same time be an agile and very efficient company.
The Audi e-tron SUV is the first and it will be followed by a Sportback version and the recently unveiled e-tron GT.
As Audi makes this announcement, I am in Abu Dhabi to test drive their e-tron SUV.
I'll have a lot more to say about the vehicle and Audi's electrification effort on Friday when I can start talking about my experience with the electric SUV.
That said, it's encouraging to see Audi putting some real money behind electrification and hopefully, that will result in higher volume electric vehicles.
If we are talking about exactly half of those 20 "electrified models" being all-electric, 10 new EVs is not a bad crop over 8 years.


I had a problem with no spark so i pulled some specs and ran some test on the stator, realized there was no reading from the pulser coil/trigger coil so i ordered one from the UK, waited 2 weeks, before i installed it i decided to test the old coil again and to my damn surprise i got the right readings. Is it possible for that to happen with a coil? Did i make a mistake multiple times with my initial testing? Or could the coil be faulty ? If it was a my mistake somehow, then how could i test the CDI ?
Motorcycle electrics are know to be the primary habitats of gremlins, demons and dark magic.


It seems hard to believe that Thanksgiving is just a few days away–are you ready? I'm not! You probably figure I've forgotten all about turkey day considering all the Christmas cookies I've been baking lately, but nothing could be further from the truth. Once I get Thanksgiving on the brain, all thoughts turn to the "green dressing" or "ping" in Italian-American speak, probably my favorite family dish, ever. When I heard that Paula over at Vintage Kitchen Notes was hosting a virtual Thanksgivingkkuh feast for #SundaySupper, I just had to break out our family recipe for turkey dressing.
What is green dressing anyway? It's a savory blend of spinach, garlic, ground beef, and French bread, chopped into a fine mixture and stuffed into the bird. Basically, ravioli filling with a little bread added, underscoring the genius of Italian-American cooks (we're not the only ones who do this). It may look funny, but one bite and you'll be sold.
While the family recipe is my favorite, I've yet to try a stuffing I didn't like. In fact, stuffing in general would be near the top of my "foods I can't live without" list. It's nestled right up there with the mashed potatoes, as it should be, since they're best when heaped together on a fork. And I look forward to the green dressing every year. Funny enough, my sisters prefer standard bread stuffing. This year we're getting both.
In order to accommodate schedules, we have our celebratory feast on the Friday, rather than on Thursday, which is becoming a tradition on its own. Every year, in addition to our immediate family, we always include a smattering of friends–a practice that I started a while ago to make sure friends who didn't live near family had a place to go. This year, Friday happens to be my birthday too, which means I'm calling dibs on whatever green dressing is leftover. Or maybe I'll just say thanks for getting a chance to celebrate the holiday (and my birthday) surrounded by such wonderful folks. I've been fortunate that way, and even if I don't say it often, I'm thankful that I was born into this crazy family, that I have a loving husband, and that I have such a devoted group of friends, all of whom support me in this adventure we call blogging as well as my many other endeavors.
First, get the bread soaking in a bowl of water. While the bread is soaking, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the parsley, celery, and spinach. Let that cook about 10 minutes, uncovered, then drain and cool.
While the spinach is cooking and the bread is soaking, brown the ground beef. Drain this and let it cool.
Now comes the fun part, because I love my chopping bowl and my mezzaluna (it's therapeutic). First, I chop up the garlic, then I chop everything else into it, working in batches, since my bowl is on the small side. You could also do this in a food processor–pulsing until everything is finely chopped–just be careful not to liquefy it!
Transfer everything to a bowl, so you can stir in the eggs, salt, and pepper. At this point, you can cover and refrigerate until ready to use. We usually prepare this mixture a day in advance so all the flavors blend.
When ready to bake, transfer the dressing to a greased 2-quart casserole, and bake until it starts to brown around the edges.
Is it obvious I couldn't wait to taste it?
A savory blend of spinach, garlic, ground beef, and French bread comes together in this traditional Italian-American turkey dressing.
In a large bowl, soak the half loaf of French bread in enough water to cover the bread.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil, and add the spinach, celery, and parsley. Allow this to cook uncovered for about 10 minutes. Drain and cool.
While the spinach is cooking, brown the ground beef in a medium sized skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain and cool.
In a chopping bowl (or food processor), chop the garlic. Squeeze all the water out of the spinach mixture, and chop into the garlic. Next chop in the ground beef. If using a food processor, pulse the mixture until a fine chop is reached.
Transfer this to a mixing bowl and stir in the eggs, salt and pepper.
Turn into a greased 2-quart baking dish, and bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges start to brown.
If serving with turkey, before serving, stir in some of the pan juices for the best flavor.
*Feel free to use Swiss chard instead--it's very good that way too!
This can also be cooked at 350 for about 40-45 minutes.
Also, for best results, prepare the mixture a day in advance so the flavors blend, then bake before serving.

The OpenClass Vision: An Example
By Michael Feldstein. Posted on March 3, 2013
In my last post, I described a vision for combining elements of MOOC-like scale with a more traditional face-to-face classroom experience, as articulated by Pearson's Adrian Sannier. (Full disclosure: Pearson is a client of MindWires Consulting.) A couple of months ago, I suggested in an interview with Josh Kim for Inside Higher Education that this is where MOOCs would go next:
Question 6. Will MOOCs replace accredited curriculum? Why or why not?
I don't know how to answer this question, because I'm not convinced that we know what a MOOC is yet. Will there be massive elements that are integral to many curricula? Almost certainly, although I don't know how much of it we will see in 2013. Will the curricula be all massive? Probably not in most cases. Will we consider the mix of massive and non-massive elements to be "MOOCs"? I don't know.
The problem that we have right now is that we have very few models for how this might work. So when Sannier mentioned a course called Habitable Worlds being developed by Professor Ariel Anbar and Lev Horodyskyj at Arizona State University that will eventually be brought to OpenClass to support this model, I asked to speak with Professor Anbar in order to get some specifics. The conversation shed some light not only on possibilities for the mixed model, but also on possible futures for the liberal arts and the role of the professor.
A Quest for Intelligent Life in the University
The core organizing principle of Habitable Worlds is something called the "Drake Equation," formulated by astrophysicist Frank Drake during the early days of Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence (SETI) as a discipline. Anbar describes it as "a way of organizing our ignorance about what we need to know in order to figure out whether there is intelligent life in the universe." It has seven variables, ranging from things we know quite a bit about, like the rate of star formation in our galaxy per year, to things we know something about, like the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets, to things we know almost nothing about, like the average lifespan of a technically advanced civilization. Through a series of interactive exercises, the students learn about each of these variables. They are also each given a unique, computer-generated star field. Their ultimate quest for the course is to come up with an estimate of the number of planets within that star field with which communication might be possible (which is the result of the Drake equation).
It's fair to say that Habitable Worlds is an attempt to rethink Gen Ed. It's designed to satisfy the quantitative general science requirement, counts for laboratory credit at ASU as a fully online course for non-science majors. Phil Regier, Dean of ASU Online, gave Anbar permission to start from a blank sheet of paper (and, apparently, something relatively close to a blank check). For his part, Professor Anbar confessed his interest was in "teaching science as a process, not a bunch of facts." "I wanted to design a course around a quest or a game-like concept where you have to solve a problem," he continued. "A good lab does exactly that."
Let's pause here for a moment and consider the implications of this statement. The rap against liberal arts in the current political environment is that students don't learn skills and knowledge that are useful for employment. For the moment, let's leave aside the question of whether that is the only or the most important purpose of higher education. Let's focus instead on the question that the critics raise. Is it true that liberal arts fail to teach job skills? And to the degree that it is true, is it inherent in the notion of the liberal arts education, or is it due to the way we currently structure the college experience? "Liberal arts" tends to be interpreted as shorthand for taking music and sociology and art history and a bunch of other topics offered in the smorgasbord that is today's undergraduate course catalog. It is often taken to mean breadth of knowledge producing a "well-rounded" person. But Professor Anbar offers a very different notion of liberal arts here. Habitable Worlds is a science class for non-science majors designed to teach them how to solve problems like scientists do. Is this skill set one that would be useful in the workplace for people in non-science careers? You bet it would. The work of liberal arts is done not by running through a checklist of knowledge that a student should be exposed to, by crafting an experience that is focused on enabling the students to acquire skills that a student may learn from exposure to a particular discipline. That change in emphasis requires a different design both of the curriculum or "major" as a whole and of individual courses. A good lab teaches problem solving. But how many labs are designed and taught with that goal in mind? What are the odds that a typical liberal arts student in a typical liberal arts program is going to be deliberately and thoughtfully exposed to the problem-solving skills that science can teach? If the liberal arts are to survive, the answer needs to be "close to 100%".
Anbar also talks about creating a self-sustaining knowledge community among the students. That is a core course goal, and implicitly, a core skill set that students need to learn. In this regard, he thinks that the standard survey-level courses are particularly bad candidates, because they don't naturally stimulate the kind of interest and discussion that what he called "integrative curricula" like climate science or SETI does. So again, this suggests a need for a shift in emphasis in liberal arts from content to skills. Some of this has already been happening for quite a while, piecemeal, through Gen Ed and core competency efforts, but there hasn't been a real wholesale shift in mindset yet.
For the expository portions of the course, there's heavy use of video and interactive media. For example, there's a "virtual field trip" to Shark Bay, Australia, where students "walk around" the beach and explore various icons, some of which include David Attenborough-like narrations from Anbar. The exercises are built on a platform called SmartSparrow. (More on that in a bit.) One of the more interesting aspects of the course design is the twist on the use of robo-grading that comes when you think about it in terms of a game. The students are trying to make progress in a challenge game, which essentially robo-grades their exercises. "Assessment is done by the simulators, like levels in a game," says Anbar. "There are a huge number of A's, even though there was a lot of anxiety, because if you put in enough time, you can make it through. Teacher and TAs mainly decide what the grade boundaries are and fix things when they don't work."
Anbar acknowledges that building a course like Habitable Worlds is "expensive." (The scare quotes are his.) This is where scale comes in. If he were only developing the course design for his own students, the cost couldn't be justified. But if it becomes a Gen Ed course that all ASU students go through, or if it is adopted by schools other than ASU through Pearson's OpenClass or some other platform, then the cost can be amortized. This is a different emphasis on the benefits of scale than you get from MOOC providers, where they talk about the benefits of scale in not only production but also delivery. Anbar's view of scale in delivery, which I'll get to in more detail later in this post, is more nuanced. But he definitely stresses the value of scale through re-use as a way to justify production expenses.
At the same time, he pointed out some challenges with current tool sets. He sees the biggest cost challenge as the authoring platforms that enable the development of the interactive components. Today, he claims, developing good game- and simulation-based courses is difficult and expensive because "everything you do has to go through the hands of a sophisticated programmer. We all know that as teachers, we're always iterating and improving, at least if we're any good." So working with developers to hand craft simulations is not a good fit, in his view. That's why he was excited to find the SmartSparrow authoring tool, which he compared to PowerPoint in terms of how it might be used by instructors in the future. ""Five years from now," he said, "the question will be 'What's your authoring platform,' not 'What's your LMS?' The LMS is your file cabinet or your book shelf. It's the most boring part of the equation."
Overall, he was fairly disparaging of traditional LMSs, specifically calling out their "disappointing" and "limiting" discussion engines. (Habitable Worlds uses Piazza.) He liked the idea of OpenClass because "Pearson is designing OpenClass so that it can basically get out of the way. I can have my course experience to take over the entire screen. You don't want students seeing everything through the lens of the file system." That said, there is no date yet for when Habitable Worlds will be available on OpenClass because some of OpenClass' APIs are not ready yet. "Where waiting for OpenClass to be more Open," said Anbar.
The Role of the Instructor and Scale in Delivery
So where does the instructor fit into all of this? One of the criticisms of the xMOOC 2.0 model, where instructors act as on-site facilitators to support the massive course experience, is that it "reduces instructors to TAs." I've never fully understood what that criticism means, but I wanted to know what Anbar thinks the role of the instructor is—and isn't—in his model. His answers were interesting. First, he is quite happy to let go of as much of the grading function as he ethically can. "I've turned myself into an expert guide and a coach," he said. "That's what I want to be as a teacher, so that's what I've done. I'm not interested in being a judge." He spends a lot of his course time on the discussion boards. We talked about the difference between the instructor and the TA. So far, he's taught the course with up to 500 students in it and has a goal of 1000, so TAs are definitely involved. The difference in role he described is subtle and has everything to do with the perception of him by the students as an expert. The TAs are there to coach, but the students respond differently to somebody that they perceive to have deep experience who is there to support them in their course quests. It's not too far from what old school asynchronous learning researchers might call "teaching presence." Some of that comes from interactions on the discussion board, but some of it is about the way in which he is presented in the course materials. He was very aware of his voice (literally) as the voice of the course. As he expands the course out to be taught by other professors, he is thinking about either genericizing the videos or making it possible for instructors to put in their own. He also spoke about maybe making the course a little more modular so that professors have more control over the shape of the curriculum, although he didn't offer any specifics for how this could be done in a course with such a strong organizing principle.
I must say that Anbar was substantially more agnostic about scale than Sannier was. He definitely was imagining the possibility of the course as a MOOC-like "self-organizing online community." That said, his focus, at the moment, is on the course as a large, but not MOOC-large, online course in which a human instructor still plays a very substantial role as a facilitator. But the role of the instructor is very substantially different from in traditional courses, whether face-to-face or online. Between that and the focus on teaching skills in an interdisciplinary, quest-driven context, Habitable Worlds is a pretty radical experiment.
Update: Professor Anbar has asked me to point out that his co-creator of the Habitable Worlds class was ASU staff member Lev Horodyskyj. He wrote, "It's fair to say that while the vision is mine, [Mr. Horodvskyj] has had the larger hand by far in the implementation, operating as a sort of super instructional designer and, more recently, course manager. And, as in any creative partnership, there's been a sufficient melding of minds that I consider him a co-creator of the course." Accordingly, I have added Mr. Horodvskyj's name to the introduction of the post. Anbar also asked that credit be given to NASA's Astrobiology Institute, " which helped catalyze some of this (especially the virtual field trips)."

Anbar's language reflects an approach that many faculty have assumed lately as the image of the authority figure in education fades. Leaving ego at the door and sharing this threshold approach with a colleague makes me grateful…and am curious about SmartSparrow.
johnakline says
I think the professor shows wisdom in carefully considering the context of his course within the gen ed framework. And he shows a bit of vision in designing a course that intends to refocus the liberal arts curriculum on process and skill acquisition. In my experience, many professors who teach x101s share this perspective but often only on a gut level. They struggle to articulate this message in their teaching – let alone design classes that build these skills on a daily basis. Because it's hard to do, they are not trained to think this way when it comes to instruction methodology, and it does require additional expertise and support. The k-12 world is probably a bit ahead of higher ed in this when it comes to actual classroom teaching, how teachers are trained an how curricula are developed. I'm waiting for colleges and schools of education to get involved in MOOCs because I think they have so much to share. It is a bit ironic that those with the most knowledge about teaching and learning have not been involved in MOOCs nearly as much as those in business and engineering.


Are you looking for an Applebee's calorie counter online? Well, the chart below will help you find nutritional information about Applebee's food.
Thanks for the info! I will probably not be eating there anymore.
awesome i can plan my meal better with this information. thank you!
This will help me to purchase low calorie foods when I visit.
Trying to stay on a 1500 calorie diet.
I had the under 550 calorie shrimp and vegetable dinner and it tasted great. It had a type of stir fry sauce on it that had a truly great flavor. It even made the brocolli taste good. It was almost too good to be just 550 calories.
I love this salad but way to many carbs.
The salads have almost as much calories as a burger has! Might as well eat the burger?
Thanks so much for having Weight Watchers Options… What a treat to eat out and know you are doing it right!
Would really like to have the values for the Summer Berry Salad. The dressing is very nice!
The daily sodium intake is suggested at 2,300 mg. a day. The fajitas have over 6,000 mgs. each!
Aren't salads supposed to be the lower calorie option? HOLY COW!!! I see a lot of comments about choosing the burger instead. It seems a better protein/calorie burner option actually.
Ate there tonight and had the herb grilled chicken and shrimp. Skipped the fried potatoes on the side,and it filled me up and was actually pretty tasty.
I appreciate all of the nutritional stats being printed. I can go in and enjoy myself…knowing where I stand regarding fat, sodium, and calories. This makes me feel much more comfortable (knowing ahead of time) what my choices are.
Thank you for the WW info. This really helps when ordering. I'm looking very forward to lunch there tomorrow.
Unfortunately my husband and I will will no longer be eating at Applebee's. The sodium content is way too high in every food item for anyone with a heart condition. It would be nice to have a few low sodium options. Surely it wouldn't be difficult to offer some low sodium dishes. Without that, we can no longer eat there.
Holy Cow – Do we really need all of that sodium? I know it enhances taste, but what about too much is too much? Surely you can sub some herbs and retain the taste quality while greatly reducing the sodium intake.
My sister is a recently diagnosed diabetic, and being able to show her the foods she *can* have ahead of time is very nice. Looking at carbs, some foods are amazing while she may only have a small portion of others.
The carbs in these meals is beyond insane! The WW meals are great for WW dieters, but I am a diabetic and require low carb foods. There is hardly NO low carb options. Plus the sodium is also beyond insane. I would love to refer people to Applebees as the healthy place to eat, but no way!
I used to like Applebee's, but the sodium levels are off the charts. I am allowed no more than 1,700 mg per day, so this pretty much eliminates everything on the menu. I wish there were some low-sodium choices.
Wish u had some low sodium options! Waaaay high in most choices!
It is GREAT to have the nutritional information, especially for those of us who are serious about attaining good health. When we don't pay attention to a restaurant's menu nutrition info, we're 'sticking our heads in the sand' and will pay for it with our health instead. Applebee's has great menu choices and really tasty too. Thank you for caring enough to provide this information!
This restaurant is excellent however the sodium content of the plain, non meat salads was baffling. I assume it is the preservatives in the produce that makes it so. I still will go. I am grateful for this transparency. I can choose the lesser of things. Just compensate the rest of your day with low sodium and lots of water. I would suggest to corporate that a heart healthy menu be included. Things with low sodium.
Way too much sodium in everything. Unfortunately we can't be eating there anymore.
Good grief. Wish I had read all of this before I ate there tonight. The salad I had blew my whole day for calories and CARBS!! No more Applebee's for me!! Dang!!

Destiny 2's scannable objects somewhat replace the Grimoire Cards from the original game. You'll find items and places throughout each region and upon interacting with them you'll get a little bit of info that lets you know more about the world around you. Finding each of these scannables is going to be tough, as not only are there a ton of them, but sometimes they really blend into the background.
• Check out our Destiny 2 guide for Guardian tips and tricks plus a complete walkthrough of the campaign missions.
Below we'll show you how to find scannable locations in Destiny 2. If you're still stumped, our guide collects every one of them, broken up by region, to help guide you towards the objects that are eluding you.
A lot of scannable objects in Destiny 2 can be found easily by keeping your eyes open. If something seems out of place, more than likely it is. Head over to any objects you find on your travels that stand out to you and see if the prompt to scan them comes up.
For the scannable areas that blend into their surroundings well, you'll need to try a different approach. If you use your Ghost to scan an area, scannable objects will be highlighted. The annoying part of this is that the Ghost scan doesn't have a huge range, but it's better than nothing.
