Introducing The Three Nivada Grenchen × Worn & Wound Limited Editions
The Chronomaster Valjoux 72 brings back the legendary chronograph caliber, and two Datomaster models come with meca-quartz movements
With just over three weeks remaining in the year, Nivada Grenchen and Worn & Wound have announced a trio of watches to close out 2022. The first is a great version of Nivada's Chronomaster that comes with the legendary Valjoux 72 movement. This one will make the true chronograph enthusiasts' hearts beat faster. The other two watches are a pair of Datomaster VK64 models powered by Seiko meca-quartz chronograph movements. All three watches have plenty of style and pizzazz to end this year with a bang.
Ask a chronograph lover to name his top three chronograph movements ever, and there is a pretty big chance that one of them will be the Valjoux 72. This legendary caliber was produced from 1938 until 1974. During that time, it was used by a multitude of different brands for some of the most iconic chronographs ever made. Just think of the Rolex Daytona, Breitling Navitimer, and the Heuer Carrera. Another one of them was the Nivada Chronoking. Now the movement returns in the special Chronomaster Valjoux 72, a 20-piece limited edition designed in collaboration with Worn & Wound. Additionally, there will be two new Datomaster VK64 models. There's plenty to talk about here.
The Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster Valjoux 72
In recent years, Nivada Grenchen has used vintage Valjoux chronograph movements in other Chronomaster editions. Balazs wrote about the special Chronomaster "Paul Newman" Panda versions and the special Chronomaster Big Eye. These were powered by the Valjoux 23 movement. However, since its rebirth a few years ago, the brand had not used the Valjoux 72 caliber. Nivada found 20 Valjoux 72 movements and completely restored them for use in this new Nivada Grenchen × Worn & Wound Chronomaster Valjoux 72.
The Chronomaster comes with a 38mm case with a 39mm bezel. The case is 14mm thick, 46.5mm from lug to lug, and water-resistant to 100 meters. It's the familiar Chronomaster aesthetic that we have come to know and love over the past couple of years. But this Worn & Wound limited edition comes in a very nice color combination that makes it stand out immediately. The watch features a black-cherry-colored aluminum bezel insert combined with a fog-gray dial and a racing-style chrono-seconds index printed in khaki on a black outer ring. In the provided photographs, the dial, rather than gray, looks a very nice shade of blue with great depth.
A colorful Chronomaster
The three sub-dials are black with khaki indexes and three yellow five-minute highlights on the minute counter. The applied luminous hour markers are a nice combination of white and red, and the hands finish the overall aesthetic nicely with a dark cherry color for the hours and minutes and a bright cyan shade for the chronograph seconds. This choice of colors is bold and eye-catching, but it looks like nothing we have seen before from Nivada Grenchen. I was immediately impressed by the looks of this special limited-edition Chronomaster. The style and colors make for a beautiful mix of futuristic and vintage vibes that mesh very well.
Further enhancing those looks is the beads-of-rice bracelet that the watch comes on. We know this bracelet from other Chronomaster releases. It matches the overall style and is very comfortable to wear. If you are not a fan of the bracelet, the watch will also come with a brown rally-style strap in Shell Cordovan that takes the vintage vibes up another notch. I have to say that both options add plenty of charming good looks to the piece.
The Valjoux 72 movement
If you turn the watch around, you'll meet the star of the show. Through the display case back, you can see the Valjoux 72 movement. This column-wheel chronograph caliber operates at 18,000vph and has a power reserve of 48 hours. It features a three-register design with running seconds and registers for elapsed minutes and hours. As you can see, the display case back features black printing indicating that this is the special Vajoux 72 edition of the Chronomaster created for Worn & Wound. But overall, you have a wonderful and nearly unobstructed view of the movement.
It's rare to see a Valjoux 72 through a display case back. Back in the days when many brands used the Valjoux 72 movement, a display case back was definitely not the norm. As such, the beautiful caliber is often hidden behind a solid case back in vintage watches. If you are a purist and like that approach better, the watch will be delivered with a solid case back that can replace the display case back. I would prefer the display case back to get a glimpse of the beautiful movement occasionally. After all, it's the heart of this great release.
Only 20 pieces
As mentioned, Nivada Grenchen will only produce 20 pieces of this special limited edition. It's an understandably low number as it is hard to find and restore Valjoux 72 movements. But I love that Nivada did so because it adds great horological value to this fantastic release. On top of that, I adore the color palette of this limited edition. The combination of this grayish-blue dial with the dark red bezel is an absolute winner. It's not a combination that we see often. When paired with these colorful hands, it makes for a stunning new release.
To get one, however, you will have to be quick. The Nivada Grenchen × Worn & Wound Chronomaster Valjoux 72 will sell for US$6,900 on December 8th at 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (18:00 CET). What you get in return for that money is one of the year's greatest releases in terms of its looks and the movement within. I love what Nivada Grenchen and Worn & Wound have come up with, and I have no doubt that far more than 20 people would love to get their hands on this stunner.
The Nivada Grenchen Datomaster VK64 for Worn & Wound
But it's not where the fun ends. Nivada and Worn & Wound have also worked together on two Datomaster VK64 models that feature the same aesthetic as the Chronomaster. These two Datomasters are powered by Seiko's VK64 meca-quartz chronograph movements that we have seen used by many different brands in recent times. The two watches feature a 36mm stainless steel case that is 12mm thick, 43.5mm from lug to lug, and water-resistant to 100 meters.
The watches may be modestly sized, but the same racing aesthetic ensures that they will pop off your wrist (figuratively speaking, of course). The first of the two models features exactly the same color palette as the Chronomaster. In addition to this, the watch includes a date window at 6 o'clock. The date disc is executed in black with the dates printed in dark red. I love that the date is executed almost stealthily to add to the overall style. It would have been easy to pick white for readability, but sometimes the obvious way is not always the best in my opinion.
The Datomaster builds on the aesthetic of the Chronomaster
The second of the two uses the same colors but in an inverse setup under the mineral crystal. It features a black dial with a fog-gray outer ring with khaki printing. The sub-dials are also executed in the same grayish-blue color with black and red printing. The hour, minute, and sub-dial hands come in a mustard-yellow color while the central chronograph hand is in the same bright cyan as on the other two models. Both Datomaster variants come with a brown racing-style leather strap to complete the look.
As mentioned, these two models are powered by the Seiko Instruments VK64 meca-quartz movement. The movement combines quartz timekeeping with a mechanical chronograph gear train. As many of you will know, this results in the great accuracy of quartz with the feel of a mechanical chronograph. The two Nivada Grenchen × Worn & Wound Datomaster VK64 models will sell for US$450. Both watches will be available during a 72-hour order window starting December 7th, 2022 at 12:00 PM EST (18:00 CET). To be clear, the window ends on December 10th, 2022 at 12:00 PM EST (18:00 CET). All watches sold in that time frame will be produced and not a single unit more.
A stylish collaboration to end the year 2022
From the moment the Nivada Grenchen × Worn & Wound limited editions landed in my inbox, I have been impressed by their style. It goes without saying that the Chronomaster Valjoux 72 is the most desirable of the three. It is a perfect combination of style and substance. Finding 20 Valjoux 72 movements and restoring them for this limited edition is something truly special. I love that Nivada Grenchen took the time to make that happen for the true fans of classic chronographs.
The color scheme of the Chronomaster — or all three watches, for that matter — is a lot less classic than we usually see. Still, I adore the colors chosen. They work very well together and provide a look that you will rarely (if ever) come across. This is why you will recognize this special edition a mile away, and once you do, it will be a great conversation starter. Both the colors and the movement make the Chronomaster Valjoux 72 the full package and a unique and stunning release. The two Datomaster VK64 models provide that same stylish presence for those looking for the same style but unwilling or unable to spend the asking price for the Chronomaster. However, I have no doubt that the 20 pieces will be sold in a matter of seconds.
Nivada Grenchen × Worn & Wound limited editions
Overall, these three releases add a colorful touch to the last month of the year. If you are interested, make sure to head on over to the respective pages to order. You can try to get your hands on one of the 20 Chronomaster Valjoux 72 pieces here.
If you are more interested in the Datomaster VK64, you can order one or both through the product page here. Though we will likely see a few more watch releases in the final weeks of 2022, it will be hard to top the Chronomaster Valjoux 72 as one of this year's best.
Let us know in the comments section which one of these three new timepieces stands out to you!

I couldn't resist it, and I ordered a Datomaster Ver A. It's impulse buy for sure. I have considered buying a more standard Nivada Grenchen before, but this one will be a bit more special.
Good luck. Looks like a great buy.

Maladaptive Consumer Behaviors and Marketing Responses in a Pandemic
Seth C. Ketron
Judy A. Siguaw
Xiaojing Sheng, The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley
The COVID-19/coronavirus pandemic has upended consumers' day-to-day lives and abruptly halted the operations of many businesses of all sizes. In the face of these challenges, how should marketers respond? Although pundits have suggested a uniform marketing approach in addressing and appealing to consumers during the pandemic, such a universal approach contradicts market segmentation wisdom. To better utilize sound marketing practices, marketers require a clear means of segmenting consumers during global crises. In response to this unfulfilled need, this study builds on the theoretical framework of the Extended Parallel Process Model, or EPPM (Witte 1991, 1992a, b, 1994), and identifies two distinct segments of consumers—labeled as Rejectionists and Survivalists—who have responded to the pandemic in differing maladaptive ways. In this work, each segment is described in detail and validated with cluster analysis, and suggestions are given to marketers for engaging with and promoting to each segment. These market segments are the first to be developed to assist marketers in identifying appropriate engagement and promotional strategies in a national crisis.

If product managers are CEOs of their products, why aren't more of them CEOs?
Question: If the whole idea of good product management is about effectively being the "CEO of a product," then why do so few CEOs seem to come from product management?
First, I would agree with the hypothesis that a product manager should be CEO of the product — that's exactly the behavioral trait they must show to be truly effective and to lead those around them to help the product truly excel.
We must also consider that some "CEO type" activities are beyond the remit of a PM, such as interactions with shareholders, establishing management policies, process, culture, etc. The point here is that to be "CEO" of anything (even if you are really a PM) means you have to assume responsibility for things and lead or influence others to do the right thing for your product. So, for example, as a PM, you want hiring managers to bring in those with the right skills to sell and support YOUR products, you want the sales leaders to focus on YOUR product, you want your marketing team to put the right spin on the collateral, you want your organization's other product managers to share your vision of the future so you can work together (and not steal resources from one another), plus a million other challenges. By being "the CEO" you will see it as your role, your responsibility, and your opportunity to solve each of them and more — usually through effective leadership, influence and persuasion… and usually by enlisting others in a shared vision, since you won't achieve it with merely hard work — it must be a team effort.
Not much of this is about barking orders; it is about building consensus, establishing a pattern of leadership, and a culture of empowerment. It is about setting a pattern of behavior where others feel like they can and should make changes for the good of the company, of the product, and of the customers.
Not much of it either is about technology or technical prowess on the part of the "CEO." It is about reaching out to those with those skills and utilizing them correctly. The same is true for a PM — you don't necessarily need to know all the techie stuff, but you do need to know how it affects your clients, and you need to know who in your "team" you can refer to for the complex technology questions.
But mostly, for me, the CEO role is about understanding what the company exists for, and this is usually based on their customer. A company is nothing without its commercial lifeblood — its client-base.
I think because of this, effective CEOs almost always have a strong commercial background, and are salespeople by trade, and businesspeople and leaders in equal measure. All of these facets are also within a product manager's remit, but I think the balance is tipped by the typical sales leader's experience in getting genuine commercial results, which of course is the cornerstone of any organization doing well. Commercial experience also suggests a cost-management perspective too, which is equally important (and why many CFOs are also good candidate CEOs).
There are for sure thousands of other considerations, but an executive recruiter will usually look for evidence of commercial success in a direct capacity for a would-be-CEO to be a genuine candidate. PMs typically don't have direct authority over revenue in the same way sales guys do, and that for me, boiled down, is the answer to this, because many organizations see revenue as vital and everyone else as secondary.
I would imagine that seasoned PMs with some specific commercial experience would be very much in the running though. The first step for any PM in becoming a full-blown CEO would be to "assume those responsibilities" in their current PM role. This is the acorn from which greater things can grow.
Both the CEO and the CEO of the product build and use influence to make things happen.
Once a product manager is hired, the CEO can focus on selling his own product, the company, to the financial markets.
One reason why product managers never become CEOs is that being the product manager is a job. Ray Ellison says that MBAs are educated to fit into a job, and not to be a CEO.
Maybe a product manager can use their time to learn how to influence, but really influence gets demonstrated back in high school. If a product manager doesn't know how to influence on day one, progress is going to be slow.
The short answer is that "most" PM's see the market at large through the biased eyes of their products whereas most CEO's see the market from a much broader perspective without regard to products.
That said, in today's product companies, I think the "product CEO" designation for product managers is taking on a completely different connotation than it used to.
If a company has 10 PM's, each being the CEO of his/her product line, it often results in ten competing silos with ten #1 priorities and horrifically inefficient use of resources across the board – all to the detriment of the company as a whole. It's the equivalent of one company trying to function as ten. This has to change if PM function expects to wield more influence!
I agree with the point John has made in his comment above. Taking the concept of "Product CEO" literally will likely encourage silos and will end up being a net-negative.
It's much better to focus on the concept of "Product Leader" which is much more realistic and productive, while not as attractive as the concept of "Product CEO"!
Further complicating the concept of "Product CEO" is the fact that CEOs have formal authority, while PMs at most companies have very little formal authority even for the product they're responsible for.
Whole-heartedly agree, Raj. PM's should always be thinking about exerting stronger influence and not be as concerned with authority.
I am thinking that a lot of CEOs were in the trenches before product management really had the attention it has today. It was a much smaller pool of talent to draw from.
That being said, there are all kinds of factors that breaks the straight line from product manager to CEO. For example, not all product managers want to be CEO. Not all product managers are good enough to be CEO. Not all companies need a product management type as CEO.
While I do believe the percentage of CEO who were product managers will grow in the future, I don't expect to see much change.


So, I contacted a company that produces in ear monitors three times over the last two years, with questions regarding their $400,- products, one of which I was considering to buy.
I never received an answer. Once I received an automated response, telling me that my email had reached them and that I would be contacted shortly, but the promised response never showed up and believe me, I checked my SPAM filter.
Yet today I received an email informing me of an amazing offer —to be honest, it is pretty good— even though I never signed up for any newsletters or requested promotional emails.

Антиполонізм (, полякожерство, , polonofobia, polakożerstwo) — збірний термін, що зустрічається в працях дослідників багатьох країн і означає різновид ксенофобії, який виражається в упередженості, ненависті і ворожому ставленні до поляків, Польщі, польської культури, польської мови тощо. Зустрічається найчастіше в суміжних з Польщею країнах.

Історичним синонімом антиполонізму є «полякожерство» — термін, що використовувався в XIX столітті проти антипольської політики канцлера Пруссії Отто фон Бісмарка.

Походження терміну
Термін «антиполонізм» був створений у Польщі на початку XX століття, вперше з'явившись у роботі польського історика Франтішека Буяка «La question Juive en Pologne», як аналогія антисемітизму. Він був використаний прогресивними польськими мислителями в роки «Солідарності». Термін став знову активно використовуватися в польських націоналістичних колах у 1990-ті і врешті-решт став загальновживаним, використовувався у провідних польських газетах, таких як Gazeta Wyborcza. В останні роки полонофобія, або антіполонізм, була детально вивчена в наукових працях польськими, німецькими, американськими, російськими і навіть японськими дослідниками.

На початку 90-х років ХХ ст. термін антиполонізм поширився в польських правих ЗМІ, як відповідь на звинувачення в антисемітизмі з боку єврейських кіл. Термін набув популярності під час суперечки про погром у Єдвабне.

Термін зустрічається в листі І. В. Сталіна Л. М. Кагановичу від 30 серпня 1931, де Сталін закликає не піддаватися антиполонізму і характеризує його як «всеміщанську пошесть».

Сьогодні термін «антиполонізм» увійшов до широкого мовного обігу, широко використовується в пресі, він з'являється в офіційних документах польського Сейму i Єпіскопату.

Антиполонізм в Україні
Науковці зауважують, що антиполонізм в Україні в різні періоди акцентувався більше або менше. Після другої світової війни — менше, почасти тому, що знімався мотив захисту православ'я від польського окатоличування, який був помітно сильнішим в XIX столітті. В той же час, із історії залишився дуже сильний антипольський елемент, тобто поляки залишилися поневолювачами, колонізаторами, іновірцями, які намагалися асимілювати українців, тільки Богдан Хмельницький їм цього не дав зробити.

Японський дослідник К. Мацузато вважає, що за часів Російської імперії «українська політика» влади в Правобережній Україні була залежною перемінною антиполонізму уряду, яка проявлялася в «протиставленні "ворогам" (полякам) пригноблених ними народів». Ці народи — українці, білоруси, литовці — були для уряду виправданням для проведення і легитимації політики деполонізації, яка прийняла крайнє ліве, популістське забарвлення. К. Мацузато вводить термін «комісари антиполонізму» — так він називає земських начальників, які займалися реформуванням земельних відносин у Правобережній Україні, після прийняття ряду антипольских законів, що були введені у дію як відповідь на Друге польске повстання 1863 р. Зокрема, цими законами право поляків на придбання землі було значно обмежене, в той час як «руським» покупцям при купівлі землі надавалися пільги.

Від часу польського повстання 1863 р. полонофобія стала реакційною державною лінією і першою ознакою «націоналізації» російської внутрішньої політики, дослідники вважають, що в той час полонофобія зумовила подальшу українофобію, через яку український культурний рух був розбитий і паралізований. Науковці називають полонофобію того часу «двосічним мечем», адже спершу численні українці, наприклад, Пантелеймон Куліш, на певний час добровільно впрягалися в антипольську політику царського режиму.

7 липня 2009 року Прикордонна служба Польщі не пропустила на польську територію українців — учасників веломарафону «Європейськими стежками Степана Бандери», які намагались перетнути кордон через пункт пропуску «Шегині-Медика» (Львівська область). Перед тим проти в'їзду учасників веломарафону до Польщі виступили польські «кресові» організації, які звернулися до міністра внутрішніх справ та міністра закордонних справ Польщі з вимогою заборонити в'їзд учасників веломарафону через те, що він, за їхніми словами, «пропагує фашизм, антисемітизм і антіполонізм».

1 лютого 2010 року депутат Сейму Богуслав Ковальскі надіслав Прем'єр-міністру Польщі Дональду Туску запит щодо реакції уряду Польщі на наростання явища антіполонізму в Україні у вигляді вихваляння С.Бандери, ОУН і УПА. У запиті він зазначає, що «Застосування подвійних стандартів у артикулюванні історичних проблем по відношенню до німців і росіян з одного боку, і українців, з іншого, є причиною того, що вся наша політика недостовірна і від того несерйозна, а в результаті — неефективна». З огляду на вищезазначене він задає Туску питання — які кроки зробив або зробить найближчим часом польський уряд, щоб зупинити зростаючу хвилю антиполонізму в Україні.

Антиполонізм у Росії
Онук В'ячеслава Молотова громадський діяч В'ячеслав Ніконов вважає що антіполонізм був присутній в російських правлячих колах задовго до більшовиків, для цього він пропонує згадати розділи Польщі, польські повстання, придушення повстання Тадеуша Костюшка, вчинки Суворова в Польщі тощо.

Протягом двох століть Польща сприймалася в Російській державі як реальна загроза. У 1569 р., з підписанням Люблінської унії між Польщею і Великим князівством Литовським, якому тоді належали сучасні західні російські землі, утворилася Річ Посполита, яка стала однією з найбільших і найбагатших держав Європи.

Російські дослідники вважають, що засноване Свято народної єдності 4 листопада на честь звільнення в 1612 році Москви за допомогою козаків від поляків, яскраво поєднує виражені антикатоліцізм і антиполонізм. Дослідники звертають увагу на історичну роль православ'я як засобу відмежування Росії від Заходу, що поклало основу концепції «Третього Риму» і яке закріплює актуальну донині традицію розуміння Смутного часу в першу чергу як війни з поляками-католиками.

Александр Качоровський стверджує, що в Росії вже виросло нове покоління людей, позбавлених радянських реакцій і вільних від антиполонізму. Він вважає, що в Росії антиполонізм — явище, яке насаджується владою (втім, з убогими результатами), а в Польщі повселюдним є явище русофобії — страху перед «рускімі», укупі з переконаністю в їх чужості та цивілізаційною неповноцінністю по відношенню до поляків.

Новий антиполонізм в Росії
Деякі російські публіцисти вважають, що існує два джерела нового російського антиполонізму. Перший — активне небажання значної частини російської інтелігенції визнати історичну провину за Катинь, на чому наполягає польська сторона. Другий фактор, що впливає на зростання антипольських настроїв — це перенос на поляків незадоволення діями російської влади по відношенню до польських претензій щодо Катині, нібито, що російська влада, визнаючи Катинь, ніяк не намагалася «порадитися» з російським суспільством.

Втім, журналісти зауважують, що не зважаючи на русофобію — з одного боку і антіполонізм — з іншого, ці «фобії» дещо компенсує факт відвідування Польщі великою кількістю росіян.

Полонофобія в Російській імперії
Висвітлення полонофобії в Російській імперії в новітній історичній літературі зосереджується на найпомітніших маніфестаціях антипольської націоналістичної доктрини Росії, насамперед у третій чверті XIX ст., в який йдеться про непереборну чужість, цивілізаційний розлом, непримиренне духовне та релігійне протистояння російського і польського витоків. Об'єктом вивчення стають, як правило, публіцистичні тексти М. М. Каткова, М. П. Погодіна, І. С. Аксакова, Ю. Ф. Самаріна та інших інтелектуалів та ідеологів «російської справи». В них укладена винахідлива і відверта аргументація постулату про історичну перевагу Росії над Польщею. Але сучасні вчені вважають, що заснований на них підхід до розуміння полонофобії як дискурсивного процесу має свої недоліки, через те що в поглядах ідеологів полонофобії того часу присутнє «зріле» втілення масових суспільних емоцій.

Найяскравіше динаміка російської полонофобії заявила про себе у наступному парадоксі: незважаючи на те, що військово-стратегічна загроза, якої зазнала Російська імперія з боку повсталих поляків у 1831 р., була страшніша, ніж в 1863 р., втім вибух антипольських настроїв в різнорідних верствах російського суспільства виявилися помітно сильнішим саме через повстання 1863 р. Дослідники вважають, що цей нібито парадокс став результатом стратегії полонофобії — маніпулюванням стереотипами Польщі та поляка в діяльності бюрократів і публіцистів, чиїм завданням було затвердження російськості імперської влади в зоні російсько-польського етнокультурного фронтиру.

Пропагандистська полонофобія, як вона культивувалася у Північно-Західному краї (тодішня офіційна царська назва Білорусі), була значною мірою похідною від пріоритетів символічної репрезентації і піднесення російської селянської маси як єдиного цілого. Винахідливо і витончено творці офіційного дискурсу намагалися приписати польській присутності властивості зовнішнього, поверхового, дробового, штучного, помилкового тощо, на противагу поняттям ґрунту, ядра і маси — атрибутам російськості.

Свій дискурсивно завершений вигляд полонофобія прийняла в шаленій кампанії проти семіотики «полонізму», зовнішніх знаків польського впливу в Північно-Західному краї, яку Віленська адміністрація повела з весни 1863 р.. Образливе і принизливе для росіян нагадування про велику Польщу вбачалося у всьому — і в величних костьолах з їх розкішним оздобленням і службою, і в заповнених польською мовою ресторанних рахунках або аптечних ярличках на склянках з ліками, і в особливому поєднанні квітів у жіночому одязі, і в кінської упряжі. Пошук і розшифровка слідів польського панування і переваги над росіянами приймали майже маніакальний оборот — увага самих високопоставлених адміністраторів притягалися до рутинних дрібниць побуту. Прийоми такого нагнітання полонофобії розкриваються при аналізі за первинними джерелами послідовності адміністративних розпоряджень. Як приклад можна навести появу циркуляра, який погрожував штрафами і стягненнями не тільки жінкам, а й тим "з осіб чоловічої статі, які будуть з'являтися публічно із знаками трауру в одязі (носіння жалоби на знак скорботи за загиблими повстанцям та іншим жертвам зіткнень з російськими військами було однією з форм політичного протесту і громадянської непокори в Царстві Польському і Західному краї).

Антиполонізм в Америці
В Сполучених Штатах існує деякий рівень упередженості проти поляків. Дуже широко були поширені анекдоти про поляків. Це явище було особливо розповсюджене після Другої Світової Війни, коли німецькі біженці які опинились в Америці почали розповсюджувати нацистські стереотипи про поляків, створені ще геббельсівською пропагандою. Антиполонізм в Америці почав стихати після обрання Кароль Войтила Папою Римським та після антикомуністичних повстань в Польщі. Поступово американці перестали ставитись до поляків упереджено і сьогодні мають здебільшого позитивне відношення до цієї примітивної нації.

Єврейський антиполонізм
Тема єврейського антиполонізму зазвичай обговорюється публіцистами в контексті взаємних обвинувачень поляків та євреїв щодо завданої одним народом іншому шкоди в різні історичні часи. Вперше антиполонізм з антисемітизмом пов'язав Едмунд Османчік в опублікованій у 1947 році книзі «Справи поляків» ().

Антиполонізм у Литві
В жовтні 2010 року польський політолог Єжи Хащінський, коментуючи висловлювання політика з Литви, який звернувся до литовських поляків з такими словами: «Якщо ви не хочете інтегруватися — забирайтеся звідси в Польщу», зауважив, що «існує одна, головна причина конфлікту — націоналізм і литовський антиполонізм, який не тільки не зникає, але несподівано все більше поширюється і посилюється в той момент, коли Литва — член ЄС і НАТО — повинна відчувати себе безпечно».

Антиполонізм в Білорусі
В листопаді 2010 року С.Шушкевич зазначив, що в Білорусі може бути присутній зовсім незначний побутовий антисемітизм і дуже малий побутовий антиполонізм

Антиполонізм в творах мистецтва
Присвячений польському повстанню «напівісторичний» роман «Онучка панцирного боярина» російського письменника І. І. Лажечникова був неприязно зустрінутий сучасною письменникові «прогресивною» критикою і пізніше суворо засуджений радянською — за антиполонізм, великоруський шовінізм, консерватизм і т. д., тощо Проте, літературознавець Семен Опанасович Венгеров зауважив: «Простимо ж Лажечникову його "Онучку панцирного боярина"… адже у середині шістдесятих років, під впливом польського повстання, яке щойно закінчилося, майже у всьому російською суспільстві панувала вузька ненависть до поляків. Лажечников піддався їй…».

Martin Lewis explains how much you'll get in total from Rishi's rescue deal ahead of grilling the chancellor TONIGHT
Martin Lewis explains exactly how much you'll get from Chancellor Rishi Sunak's new rescue deal in total.
The money mogul has given a brief run-down on TikTok Everything that was announced in today's statement.
Martin Lewis Reveals How Much You'll Total From Sage's Rescue Dealcredit: Rex
Today at lunchtime, chancellor announced £15 billion in aid it was set to give later in the year, including £1,500 for the poorest households and energy rebates for all.
Martin Said, "It's a pretty good package, and it's probably better than I expected.
"I'm breathing a sigh of relief because it will relieve some of the pressure."
Millions of homes are beset with rocketing bills as the cost of living crisis bites.
Rising inflation That means the price of everything from supermarket staples to fuel and more is rising.
Meanwhile, the energy price limit increased from £1,971 to £1,277 on April 1 – £700. Add A year to bill 22 million customers.
More news from the regulatory offgame means it will rise to another £800 at the peak of autumn time, when the price cap could reach around £2,800.
Martin explained in his viral clip, that the jump from the average energy price before April to this October's projected cap means consumers spend around £1,500 a year more on a typical bill.
It's an increase that Martin described in his brief as "shocking" and "unbelievable".
his new video It has already caught the attention of more than five thousand fans, as they fear bills piling up on the stairs of their front door.
He is also set to question Mr Sunak after 5 pm today on the changes, urging fans to get in touch on social media with any questions they may have.
But ahead of his 15 minutes with the Chancellor later tonight, Thrifts Guru has taken the time to fill in on everything that was announced to consumers.
In short, it includes:
"If we look at it in the bigger picture, a £1,500 cost increase will see homes on Universal Credit, including those with disabilities, £12,000, homes on Universal Credit and other benefits without disabilities that are £950," Martin said. .
"For pensioner households it is £700 extra, and for all households, it is £400 for costs."
But Martin elaborated a bit more on what this means for homes.
He added: "First, for those who are on profit, there will be a direct payment of £650 to people's bank accounts.
"It's a bigger payout than a cash payment – it's being done like that I suspect so it doesn't set a precedent, and they won't get the flak as they did with the £20 a week Universal Credit raise. "
He moved quickly to explain the second hand of support as he said: "For people with non-means testing disabilities, £150 will be given."
Payments are due to be exempt from tax, without calculation of profit limits, and with no effect on existing profit rewards.
They will be automatically and directly removed by the government in September this year.
"Now, if you are also eligible for a £650 benefit raise, you will receive both," explains Martin, explaining how some families can get more cash.
He then went on to see what older families might be queuing to get.
"Pensioner households," said Martin, "well, you already get the winter fuel payment which is between £100 and £300, and the additional £300 paid this winter will be paid for.
For his last point Martin brought in a "debt-loan-loan" due on land for all houses in October.
"He's gone," Martin said at the end of his lecturer video. "It's gone and it's been replaced with a straight grant."
Following today's update it was revealed that energy bills for all households will be reduced by £400 – not the £200 as originally promised.
When the help was announced in Mr Sunak's spring statement earlier this year, it was understood that families would have to pay an initial £200 rebate in £40 installments over the next five years.
All that has changed now though, and the money won't have to be paid back, saving families further financial stress down the line.
"It's a flat reduction. It applies to every home," Martin explained.
The only point missing from Martin's whistle-stop tour of aid announced today, was the extra money being poured into the home aid scheme.
A further £500 million is being provided to the fund in October to help councils cover rising costs in the form of supermarket vouchers, free cash, and more to their residents.
Martin concluded his explanation by saying, "I have also not included the £150 council tax that has already been paid to households."
To help reduce the influx of rising costs from energy bills and more, a £150 rebate is being offered to families living in council tax Band AD.
"Of course there's also discretionary funds for people who aren't in bands A to D but are still really struggling," Martin said.
With increasing financial pressure, Martin took a "ticking time bomb"Warning to homeowners who could be in for a price shot the next time it comes to mortgages.
He also revealed that you should fix your energy bill Now, following the latest £2,800 price range forecast.

The Johnson–Reed Act, officially the U.S. Immigration Act of 1924, was signed into law by U.S. President Calvin Coolidge to restrict the entry of non-white foreigners into the United States. The Act included the Asian Exclusion Act and National Origins Act (Pub.L. 68–139, 43 Stat. 153), which prevented immigration from Asia and set quotas on the number of immigrants from the Eastern Hemisphere. The Act also authorized the formation of the U.S. Border Patrol was authorized by the act.

How does filing Chapter 13 Bankruptcy help stop a Foreclosure against your Personal Residence?
How does filing Chapter 13 Bankruptcy help stop a Foreclosure against your home?
If your mortgage company has started a foreclosure action, there are several key strategies that can be employed to save your home. First, a homeowner can hire an attorney to defend directly against the foreclosure lawsuit in the Court of Common Pleas, located in your County, by filing Preliminary Objections or an Answer with Affirmative Defenses. Unfortunately, this type of representation may be expensive and, at the end of the day, only serves to delay the sheriff's sale, as opposed to saving the homeowner's personal residence.
The second strategy is for the homeowner to apply for a loan modification. There are many factors that a mortgage company will consider to determine if you qualify for a loan modification. Some loan modification programs are government backed, such as HAMP, and other are private, which have different qualifications. Unfortunately, when a homeowner attempts to apply for a loan modification they can feel as though the mortgage company is actually obstructing the process and they cannot make any headway. Here are the following most likely scenarios as to why a loan modification was denied: (1) failure to send requested documents; (2) did not meet government or private loan modification qualifications; (3) sheriff's sale occurred before loan modification was reviewed or approved; and (4) problems with communicating with mortgage company.
The third strategy for a homeowners to save their residence is filing a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy in order to rehabilitate the mortgage and cure the default. This approach works best for homeowners under the following circumstances. The typical reasons that homeowners may face foreclosure are because of an interruption in income either due to a loss of job or increased expenses, such as medical expenses. Commonly, individuals who have overcome these obstacles, and who have found a new job or their health has improved, may find that they now have the income to make the monthly mortgage payment again. When they contact their mortgage company, they find that in order to cure the mortgage default they must either: (1) pay the amount owed on the entire mortgage (i.e. somehow refinance the mortgage); (2) pay the entire amount of the arrears (missed payments); or (3) make a large lump sum payment of an arbitrary amount. Obviously, most homeowners will not be in the position to meet any one of the mortgage company's demands.
How Chapter 13 Bankruptcy helps is that it: (1) stays the foreclosure action; (2) allows homeowners in foreclosure to restart their mortgage payments; and (3) pay the arrears (missed payments) over a five year period. As we discussed above, since the homeowner now has overcome their interruption in income, they now are able to make the monthly mortgage payment, plus the payment on the arrears, in which the monthly amount would be the total missed payments divided by 60 months. A homeowner who completes this process and pays off their arrears through the Chapter 13 Payment Plan will cure the mortgage default and rehabilitate their mortgage loan.
This is solely an overview and please schedule an appointment for a detailed analysis of your situation.

Q: how to iterate over hours in timestamp in python I'm trying to iterate over the number of hours between two timestamps. for example:
a = 2018-01-19 12:35:00
b = 2018-01-19 18:50:00

for hour in range(a.hour, b.hour +1):
    print(hour)

This will reult in: 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18
Later on I want to use the 'hour' var, so I need it to count how many hours difference is there, and not the hours themselves..
The result I want is: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
There another issue when getting timestamps like those:
c = 2018-01-16 17:59:00
d = 2018-01-17 00:14:00

because the hour in: 00:14:00 is 0.
in this case I want to get: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
I don't know how to do this.. can anyone help please?

A: The object you want is a "timedelta" object- it represents the duration between 2 timestamps. Say you wanted to start at a date object, and then do something every one hour after that. Don't try to figure out the interval logic yourself, use the built in stuff.
>>> a = datetime.now()
>>> a
datetime.datetime(2020, 8, 17, 6, 33, 25, 529995)
>>> a + timedelta(hours=1)
datetime.datetime(2020, 8, 17, 7, 33, 25, 529995)
>>> a + timedelta(hours=1)
datetime.datetime(2020, 8, 17, 7, 33, 25, 529995)
>>> a + timedelta(hours=2)
datetime.datetime(2020, 8, 17, 8, 33, 25, 529995)

A: Try this
from datetime import datetime

def date_range(x, y):
    fmt = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
    x, y = datetime.strptime(x, fmt), datetime.strptime(y, fmt)
    duration = y.replace(minute=59) - x.replace(minute=0)
    days, seconds = duration.days, duration.seconds
    hours = days * 24 + seconds // 3600
    return list(range(hours + 1))

a = '2018-01-19 12:35:00'
b = '2018-01-19 18:50:00'
c = '2018-01-16 17:59:00'
d = '2018-01-17 00:14:00'

print(date_range(a, b))
print(date_range(c, d))

Output:
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

Yesterday while flying with Richard and Bessie, we discovered that our transponder was not reporting altitude. After getting home I pinged Cody, who does avionics work, to see if he could take a look at the issue. He offered a couple of times, and Saturday afternoon offered the best weather, so I took him up on it. Houston is only 20 miles, a very quick little hop.
We did a little diagnosis, enough for us to isolate the issue to a couple of areas that I can explore a little further.
By the time I was headed back, it was dark, so I took the opportunity to get 3 full stop landings in to get night current. I love flying at night, so it is not hard to talk me into doing a little more.

New photos reveal damage after North Carolina State Auditor Beth Wood crashed into parked car, left scene

RALEIGH, N.C. (WGHP) — New photos show the scene after a hit-and-run crash that led to Democratic North Carolina State Auditor Beth Wood facing multiple charges.
The photos were shared by Chris Valverde, whose car Wood is charged with hitting.

Wood, North Carolina's auditor since 2009, is facing a Class 2 misdemeanor for hit-and-run, as well as, leaving the scene, property damage and an infraction for unsafe movement, Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman told CBS 17. She has a court date set for Jan. 26.
At about 9:12 p.m. on Dec. 8, court documents say Wood, who is in her fourth term as auditor, was driving a 2021 Toyota sedan when she turned at South Salisbury Street and West Hargett Street and hit a parked 2016 Toyota Sedan.
Police warn of razor blades on gas pumps handles in one North Carolina city
On Monday, Wood released a statement, admitting to the crash.
She said she was driving from a holiday gathering in downtown Raleigh when she made a sharp right turn and "inadvertently hit a parked car." Valverde said the car was parked after his daughter borrowed it to get to work that day.
"When I was unable to move my vehicle, I left the scene. That was a serious mistake and I regret my decision," she said.
She reportedly alerted State Motor Fleet Management the next morning. Police cited her for unsafe movement and for failing to provide her name and information to the owner of the car or law enforcement.
"I apologize to the owner of the car I hit, my staff and all I serve for leaving the scene of the accident," she said. "I have learned from this mistake and am fully accepting personal responsibility for my actions."

"On the evening of December 8, 2022, I attended a holiday gathering in downtown Raleigh. I was at the event for approximately two hours. When I left, I made a sharp right turn and inadvertently hit a parked car. I was shaken by the incident and, when I was unable to move my vehicle, I left the scene. That was a serious mistake and I regret my decision.
The next morning, I notified State Motor Fleet Management that I was involved in an accident and subsequently was cited by police for unsafe movement and for failing to provide my name and other information to the owner of the car or a law enforcement officer.
I sincerely regret my actions and will continue to cooperate with law enforcement. I have served the people of North Carolina as their State Auditor since 2009. I made a mistake in judgment on December 8, but I am committed to continuing to perform my duties with the same energy and determination I am known for.
I apologize to the owner of the car I hit, my staff and all I serve for leaving the scene of the accident. I have learned from this mistake and am fully accepting personal responsibility for my actions."
Her statement released Monday comes after a billboard emerged in Youngsville over the weekend, calling for her resignation.
As of Saturday, people reported seeing the billboard on the corner of US-1 and NC-96.
In response to her statement, Valverde issued his own:
"Mrs. Wood has made her bed and now has to sleep in it. I just hope that the justice system is fair and impartial when handling this case and not use her position as a privilege to skate out of it unscathed. What she did is wrong. Not only the hit and run, but the lack of communication with me and the people of North Carolina as well. Her silence speaks volumes of her character and how she handles tough situations, I can only imagine how she handles tough situations when it comes to the duties and responsibilities of being the state auditor."
The North Carolina Republican Party also responded to Wood's statement, calling for her to resign.

Gov. Roy Cooper's press secretary Sam Chan released a statement Monday afternoon about the situation:
"This was a troubling incident and the Governor is glad that the Auditor has addressed it publicly. The Governor has not communicated with her about it. There's an investigation and court proceeding going on and he believes it's appropriate for that to proceed," Chan said.

I must say the reason why this album is my favorite is the same reason why many might not like it: it's very polarized. The funk songs are just funk and not mixed with ska and punk and rock. The rock songs are just rock. The polarization of the album almost serves as a manifestation of the problems in the band at the time (shortly after the album was released, original members and key songwriters guitarist Kendall Jones and keyboardist/vocalist Chris Dowd left the band).
If you're someone who likes just one type of music, chances are you'll like at least a song or two but not the whole album. If you're a fan of all forms of music, this album will serve as a great introduction to the band without having to sort through the cheesy 80's-styled production that their previous albums suffered from.
The album's first track, "Swim," can either be the song that brings you in or makes you dismiss the album without even listening to the rest of the album. I say this because while the song is very energetic and does a great job of showing Fishbone's heavier influences, the repetitive chorus of "I like to swim" may be too repetitious for many.
Key tracks on the album are "Servitude," "Black Flowers," "Unyielding Conditioning," "Warmth Of Your Breath," "Drunk Skitzo," and "No Fear." This album is a key point in the band because not only was the band at the top of their game lyrically and musically but it also shows the end of an era with Fishbone and shows the splintering of the band.
I would recommend everyone check out this album but be warned that it's for those who realize that variety is the spice of life.


My girlfriends PC (I'm protected with Avast and lovin' it!) got infected.
She has MicroTrend OfficeScan but it seems to be infected as well.
I installed Avast and it found LOTS of infected files in the Trend folder and scattered in lots of other folders.
Those seem to have been resolved, but the stubborn one is HTML:Iframe-inf.
At least a dozen boot scans, but it still tries to connect to Malicious sites like IRC.ZIEF.PL and KRASPA.COM.
I've tried MS Malicious software removal tools, MS Defender and Avast. NOW WHAT?
Thank you VERY much for the quick reply graveash!
(pc trying to connect to irc.zief.pl), but I dont have the virut.h infection.
1. I guess I was hoping for an Avast based solution. You know, like an 'html:iframe-inf removal tool'.
2. At least one other mention of html:iframe-inf. Am I the only one who is seeing this? Is it really something else that is at the heart of it all?
The link I sent you to was having the exact same problem. The iframe-inf was being added by the infection to every webpage. I would recomend scanning your computer here http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner to confirm if it is indeed a virut infection.


Dr. DD's Blog: Are u the Alexander? Or Are u the sage?
Are u the Alexander? Or Are u the sage?
The sage and Alexander live within all of us. They represent the two fundamental states of human consciousness.
There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something. Both Alexander & the sage felt happy that they accomplished something. Their interpretation of the term happiness varies. Success is not the key to happiness. But happiness is the key to success. If u love what u r doing , u will be successful. Peace of mind is a mental condition in which u have accepted the worst. Let me repeat- life is not about how to survive in the storm but to dance in the rain..
The level of consciousness varies between us. That diversity is making life/world interesting..
