Barry Stevens 2 months ago
It has just been announced that The Grand Tour will return to our screens on Friday 13th December 2019. This will be the fourth season for the show and will be the first featuring the new show format. Gone is the tent, the live audience and the test track, season 4 will focus on epic road trips instead.
Seamen is the title of the first episode and will see Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May adventure across waters in Vietnam and Cambodia.
Embarking on their next Prime Video adventure – and the first in a series of feature-length specials – Clarkson, Hammond and May are set to make an epic 'road trip' journey across Vietnam and Cambodia. For one time only, the presenters have taken a break from four wheels and instead undertaken an ambitious journey in boats.
Their adventure-packed voyage takes them along one of the world's most iconic waterways – the Mekong Delta. Fans can expect elements of their previous classic road trips, with the trio choosing their boats in the usual way they choose their cars, with their own off-the-wall rationale, putting their own spin on their individual vessels.
The Grand Tour's, James May says he won't be doing it for much longer

StarHub joins OTT messaging app fray with WeChat partnership - Mobile World Live

StarHub joins OTT messaging app fray with WeChat partnership
StarHub, Singapore's second-largest mobile operator, partnered with social messaging app WeChat, to deliver WeChat support as part of a prepaid service plan.
StarHub's prepaid customers will be able to use the WeChat platform for text and voice messages, "walkie-talkie"-style chat, sending and sharing photos and comments, and sending animated stickers.
Those wanting to use the service dial *123# on their phone and can use WeChat from SGD0.40 ($0.32) per day or SGD6 per month.
Louis Song, Singapore country manager for WeChat owner Tencent, said consumers are demanding "more innovative, efficient and social mobile communications that gives them more control over how they share their lives".
Singapore's leading mobile operator SingTel is believed to be looking to offer its own OTT messaging app, despite an earlier setback with the LoopMe app which was shelved following a soft launch earlier this year.
The rise of so-called Over-The-Top (OTT) messaging apps have impacted operator revenue around the world, as they bypass traditional voice services and run over mobile broadband or WiFi.
Operators are therefore looking to partner with, or compete against, OTT players in an effort to create new revenue streams.
WeChat is the international version of the Chinese Weixin app, which was launched in January 2011. Following in October the same year, WeChat passed 100 million international users in August 2013 and is the most popular mobile social app in Hong Kong, India, Indonesia and Malaysia.
WeChat is also one of the fastest growing mobile social communications apps among teenagers — usage grew 1,021 per cent among 16 to 19 year olds between the first and third quarter of 2013, according to internet market research firm GlobalWebIndex.
WeChat 5.0 was recently launched with a number of new features, including online payment for its sticker store and a game centre.

PRESIDENT CLINTON AND VICE PRESIDENT GORE:
Working on Behalf of Native Americans
EXPANDING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES:
Made a Historic Visit to Indian Country. In July 1999, President Clinton became the first sitting President to visit a reservation since Franklin Roosevelt. President Clinton visited the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota as part of his New Markets Tour to encourage private investment in Indian Country.
Moving Families from Welfare to Work. The 1996 welfare reform law provides tribes with the option to receive direct federal funding to independently design, administer, and operate the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. Tribes now have considerable flexibility to provide benefits and services that help families become self-sufficient. With the President's leadership, the Balanced Budget of 1997 included $3 billion in Welfare-to-Work grants to move long-term welfare recipients and low-income non-custodial fathers into jobs, including $30 million for tribal Welfare-to-Work grants, and provided tax credits for employers to hire and retain long-term welfare recipients.
Expanding Investment in Urban and Rural Areas. Spurring economic development in distressed communities, the Clinton-Gore Administration has created 31 Empowerment Zones and more than 100 Rural and Urban Enterprise Communities that are creating new jobs, new opportunities and stronger communities. President Clinton's New Markets Initiative is helping to bring economic development and renewal to communities that have not benefited from the soaring economy. Eighteen American Indian and Alaska Native tribes were selected to participate in the Round II Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities (EZ/ECs), with Indian tribes participating in two of the five rural EZs.
Held the First White House Conference on Economic Development in Indian Country. In August 1998, the Clinton-Gore Administration held the first White House Conference on Economic Development in Indian Country, the first step in developing a strategic plan for coordinating existing federal economic development initiatives for Native American and Alaska Native communities. In July 1999, the Department of Commerce issued a report on the infrastructure technology needs in Indian Country.
Extending Wireless Services to Tribal Lands. In August 1999, the FCC began exploring a number of possible terrestrial and satellite wireless policy initiatives to promote greater access to telecommunications services for individuals living on tribal lands. The FCC is looking at ways that wireless and satellite technology can be used to provide basic telephone service and other telecommunications services to tribal lands, particularly in remote areas.
Promoted Lending In Indian Country. President Clinton signed the Community Development Banking and Regulatory Improvement Act, which promotes more lending in Indian Country.
Providing Housing Assistance To Native Americans. The Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 gives Indian Housing Block Grants to Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages or their Tribally Designated Housing Entities, providing communities with more flexibility than ever before to plan and develop programs that best meet locally determined needs for housing assistance. In FY2000, $620 million – the Administration's full request -- is available to tribes.
FIGHTING FOR EQUAL OPPORTUNITY:
President Clinton Met With Tribal Leaders. On April 29, 1994, President Clinton became the first President to invite the leaders of all federally recognized tribes to the White House. On this historic occasion, the President pledged that his Administration would work with Tribal leaders to establish a true government-to-government partnership.
Strengthening the Relationship Between the Federal Government and Tribal Nations. In 1994, President Clinton executed a Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies directing agencies to consult with tribal governments prior to taking actions that affect federally recognized tribal governments. On May 14, 1998, he issued an Executive Order that strengthens and makes effective across Administrations the 1994 Government-to-Government Memorandum. This executive order serves to establish regular and meaningful consultation and collaboration with Indian tribal governments.
Ensuring Tribal Sovereignty. President Clinton created the Office of Tribal Justice to promote government-to-government relations with Indian tribes and ensure aggressive representation of tribal sovereignty in the courts. He also created a permanent White House working group composed of all Executive Branch Departments to advance tribal sovereignty across the administration.
IMPROVING OUR NATION'S HEALTH:
Enacted Single Largest Investment in Health Care for Children since 1965. The State Children's Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP) invests $24 billion over 5 years to provide health care coverage for up to 5 million children. Two million children have already been enrolled, and, in October 1999, President Clinton announced new outreach initiatives to enroll millions more uninsured, eligible children. In order to eliminate all financial barriers that Native American children may face in accessing health insurance coverage, they are exempt from the program's cost sharing requirements. In addition, the Administration launched a targeted outreach effort, including airing public service announcements and distributing educational brochures through the Indian Health Service.
Eliminating Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities by 2010. President Clinton's initiative targets six key health areas: infant mortality, diabetes, cancer screening and management, heart disease, AIDS and immunizations. President Clinton won a 200 percent increase for this initiative in the FY00 budget. The President also worked to win $30 million in each of 1998 - 2002 fiscal years for the Indian Health Service to promote diabetes prevention, research and treatment in Native American communities. Native Americans are three times as likely as white Americans to have diabetes and are less likely to access treatment for it.
Increasing Funding to the Indian Health Service. The Indian Health Service saw an increase of $144 million over FY98. This increase will assist in providing much-needed quality health care to Indian communities. The FY 2000 enacted level is $2.4 billion, an increase of $150 million over the 1999 funding level.
Indian Health Service Contract Support Costs. The President's FY00 budget supports tribal self-determination by proposing a $35 million increase for contract support costs, to cover the administrative costs of existing tribal contracts and compacts. The FY2000 Conference bill contained an objectionable provision to extend a contract moratorium that would prevent the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian Health Service from entering into any new or expanded self-determination contracts or self-governance compacts with tribes. This contract moratorium provision contravenes tribal sovereignty and the Federal government's policy of encouraging self-governance. The Administration was ultimately successful at removing this objectionable provision and obtaining $229 million for contract support costs.
Providing Access to Health Care Services for Uninsured Workers. Last year, the President proposed and won $125 million in funding for a program to coordinate systems of care, increase the number of services delivered and establish an accountability system to assure adequate patient care for the uninsured and low-income. This year, the President has proposed funding this initiative at $125 million, representing a substantial down payment on the President's plan to invest $1 billion over 5 years.
Improving the Mental Health of Native American Youth. At the White House Conference on Mental Health, the Administration announced a $5 million inter-agency initiative that will develop innovative strategies to address the mental health, behavioral, and substance abuse needs of Native American young people in Native American communities over a three-year period. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2000, the tribes will be able to apply for competitive funds through a coordinated grant process.
INVESTING IN EDUCATION:
Strengthening Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)-Funded Schools and Colleges Serving Tribes. The 2000 enacted level provided $519 million for the operation of elementary and secondary schools, tribally controlled community colleges, and assistance to Indian children attending public schools. This represents an increase of $21 million for these activities in 1999.
Repairing and Modernizing Schools on Reservations. The 2000 enacted level provided the Bureau of Indian Affairs $133 million ($46 million over 1999) to replace 3 older, unsafe, and dilapidated schools on Indian reservations and to provide much-needed health and safety-related repairs, improvements, and maintenance that together comprises a roughly $700 million backlog.
Signed Historic Executive Order on Native American Education. In August 1998, President Clinton signed an executive order designed to improve the academic performance of American Indian and Alaska Native students in grades K-12. The order focuses special attention on improving student achievement in reading and mathematics and increasing high school completion rates.
Training and Recruiting New Native American Teachers. Only two-thirds of Native American students successfully complete high school – far fewer than other students. To address this challenge, the President and the Vice President fought for and won $10 million in FY2000 to begin the training and recruiting of 1,000 new teachers for areas with high concentrations of American Indian and Alaska Native students.
Linking BIA-Funded Schools To The Internet. The Administration's BIA started the Access Native America initiative in 1997 to connect 185 BIA funded schools to the Internet. As of June 1999, 120 schools have been cabled and 89 schools in some of the most rural, remote areas of our nation's Indian reservations, have been connected to the Department of the Interior network.
MAKING OUR COMMUNITIES SAFER:
Putting 100,000 More Police on the Streets. In 1999, ahead of schedule and under budget, the Clinton-Gore Administration met its commitment to fund an additional 100,000 police officers for our communities. As a part of the COPS Program, the President announced new grants to increase community policing in high-crime and underserved neighborhoods. To help keep crime at record lows, the President won funding in the FY 2000 budget for the first installment toward his goal to hire up to 50,000 more officers by 2005. Since the start of the COPS program, the Department of Justice has provided grants of almost $100 million to Indian Country to help hire over 1000 additional police officers.
Comprehensive Approach to Public Safety. The Department of Justice's Consortium of Indian Reservations Cooperating in Law Enforcement (CIRCLE Project) is a demonstration project which takes a comprehensive and coordinated approach to law enforcement and public safety in Indian country. DOJ has provided enhanced technical assistance and funding to three Indian communities in order to help them identify their crime and public safety problems on a community-wide level and develop plans to address those problems.
Joint DOJ/DOI Law Enforcement. The 2000 enacted level provided DOJ and BIA a total of $336 million ($52 million over 1999) to address high crime rates in Indian Country by providing more resources for officer hiring and retention, drug control and youth crime prevention programs, law enforcement equipment, construction of detention facilities, and crime reporting surveys.

I wish that I could speak at my very best concerning the glorious Him who is mentioned in the text, but I have hardly got into full working order after my season of rest. One's voice becomes rusty, like an unused key, and one does not, at first, feel quite at ease in speaking after a time of comparative quietude. Do not, however, think that my subject is a poor one–if there are defects in my discourse, remember that it will only be the speaker who is poverty-stricken–not the great King and Lord of whom he is speaking. "Men shall be blessed in Him." O Sirs, if one had the tongues of men and of angels, and if one could only, for once, use that speech which it is not lawful for a man to utter–those words which Paul tells us that he heard when he was caught up to the third Heaven–if we could even speak as never man yet spoke, we could not fully set forth all the glories of Him of whom this text speaks!
David's thoughts, doubtless, rested in part upon Solomon when he said, "Men shall be blessed in him"–and our Lord, Himself, spoke of Solomon in all his glory. But what poor stuff is human glory at the very highest! The, "Him," mentioned in the text, the higher and the greater Solomon who is truly meant in these words, has a real Glory–not of earthly pomp and fading tinsel, nor of gold and pearls and precious stones, but the more excellent Glory of Character and the true beauty of Holiness. In Him all Divine excellences are blended. I cannot hope to set Him forth as He deserves. I cannot tell you all His virtues and His glories, but, oh, He is very dear to many of us! His name is engraved on the fleshy tablets of our hearts and when we lie upon our last bed and all other things shall be forgotten in the decay of nature, we shall still remember that dear name which is above every name! The contemplation of our Savior's blessed Person shall then absorb every faculty of our being! "Men shall be blessed in Him," the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Son of Man, the Savior, the Redeemer, the God Over All, blessed forever, who is also bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh!
Now it is to that blessed condition that the text directs our thoughts–it promises that men shall be delivered from the curse, that they shall be lifted up from their natural unhappiness, that they shall be rescued from their doubtful or their hopeful questioning–and shall even come to be blessed! God shall pronounce them blessed. He shall set upon them the broad seal of Divine approbation and call them blessed! And with that seal there shall come streaming into their hearts the sweetness of intense delight which shall give them experimentally a blessing to their own conscious enjoyment!
The man who comes to Christ by faith and truly trusts Christ has all the past rectified. All his sins, whatever they may have been, are pardoned in a moment as soon as he believes in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. His iniquities are blotted out and are as if they had never been committed. As the cloud passes away and is no more to be seen, so the thick clouds of our sins are dispersed by Christ as soon as we believe in Him! Nor will they ever return to darken our sky. The forgiveness which God gives is not temporary, but eternal! Once pardoned, you are pardoned forever–the act of Divine amnesty and oblivion stands fast forever and ever. Is not that man truly blessed, then, who is made free from sin? David says, "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputes not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile." This is the blessedness which Christ gives to those who are in Him, that, as for the past, in its entirety, with all its blackness, with all its aggravated sin, He has taken it upon Himself and borne the penalty due on account of it–He makes a clean sweep of it and says of the man who trusts in Him, "Your sins, which are many, are all forgiven you; go in peace." That is one part of the blessedness of those who are in Christ–the past is all forgiven.
Some of you know what a blessed thing it is to be a child of God and an heir of Heaven–how blessed it is to have the Throne of Grace where you can take your troubles and to have a Helper who is strong enough to deliver you. I spoke, the other day, with a Christian friend, and I said to him, "My life sometimes seems to be like that of a man walking upon a tight rope. The walk of faith is very mysterious–one false step, or one slip and where would we be?" My friend replied, "Yes, it is so, no doubt. But then, underneath are the everlasting arms." Ah, that is a blessed addition to the figure–there is no slipping off the rope on which God calls us to walk, but if there were, underneath are the everlasting arms, and all is well! And the Christian, when he knows that and lives as one should live who is in Christ, is, even now, a truly blessed man!
But that is not all, for he who believes in Christ has his future guaranteed. He does not know how long he shall live and he does not want to know, for his Father knows. God knows all that you and I may wish to know–and as He knows it, it is better than our knowing it! Whether our life is long or short, He will be with us unto the end. And as our days our strength shall be. He will sanctify to us every trial we meet and nothing shall, by any means, harm us. He will bring us safely to our journey's end and we shall go through the cold death stream without a fear! We shall rise triumphant on the shore of the hill country on the other side and we shall behold our Savior's face without a veil between forever and forever! All this is an absolute certainty if we are the children of God, for it is not possible that one of the Divine family should perish–that one bought with the blood of Christ should ever be cast away! He will keep His own and preserve them even to the end. Are they not blessed, then, and is not the text full of sweetness as to this amazing condition, "Men shall be blessed in Him"?
Where are you, you blessed men and women? Where are you? Come and enjoy your blessedness! Do not be ashamed to be happy! I believe that some Christians are a little frightened at themselves when they find that they are full of joy and if, perhaps, they should ever break through the rules of decorum and express their joy, then they turn crimson! It was not thus with the saints of old, for sometimes they spoke and sang so loudly of the joy of their hearts that even their adversaries said, "The Lord has done great things for them," and they replied, "The Lord has done great things for us; therefore we are glad!" And again they lifted up their hallelujahs. Then were their mouths filled with laughter and their tongues with singing. So let it be with you, for you are, indeed, a blessed people if you are in Christ!
II. Having thus dwelt upon this amazing condition, I now give you another keyword. The text says, "Men shall be blessed in Him." This is A WIDE STATEMENT.
Oftentimes, the greatest Truths of God lie in the shortest sentences. There is a great mass of Truth within the compass of these few words–"Men shall be blessed in Him." There are only six words, here, but to make the wide statement true requires breadth of number. You could not well say, "Men shall be blessed in Him," if those to be blessed were a very few. It is not possible that the Election of Grace should consist of a few scores of persons making up an especially favored denomination–otherwise the Psalmist would not speak after this wide fashion, "Men shall be blessed in Him." The Holy Spirit is not given to exaggeration and He would have put it, "A few men will be blessed in Him." But here there is nothing of the kind! It is, "Men shall be blessed in Him," meaning the great mass of the human race, vast multitudes of the sons of Adam! I believe that when this dispensation comes to an end, notwithstanding all the dreary centuries that have passed, Christ shall have the pre-eminence as to numbers as well as in every other respect–and that the multitudes who shall be saved by Him shall far transcend those who have rejected His mercy. The text says, "Men shall be blessed in Him." That is to say, the most of men, innumerable myriads of men shall get the blessing that Jesus purchased by His death on the Cross.
Christ is the Christ of the multitude! His Father says of Him, "I have exalted One chosen out of the people," but He is lowest earthly position. "Men shall be blessed in Him." Of course, the word, "men," includes women and children–it means the human race! "Men shall be blessed in Him." Do not, therefore, let anyone say, "I am a strange, odd person," for the text puts in this little-big word, "men," which takes you in, whoever you may be! If you come to Christ, you are included in this promise, "Men shall be blessed in Him." So that there is a width of variety implied here.
Our text also indicates length of period. "Men shall be blessed in Him." Men have been blessed in Him these many centuries, Christ has shone with all the radiance of Omnipotent Love upon this poor fallen world, but His light is as full as ever and, however long this dispensation shall last, "Men shall be blessed in Him." Though some of those men are, perhaps, gray with years and decrepit through age, yet the promise still stands, "Men shall be blessed in Him." And while that verse has the word, "shall," in it, why should not the grayest head receive the Divine blessing? Why should not a man who is on the borders of the grave yet lay hold of this blessed text and say, "I will trust Him in whom men shall be blessed"?
Oh, that our fellow men would receive Him! Oh, that they would bow down before the Crucified and acknowledge Him as their Lord and Savior! Oh, that all would look up to His wounds, still visible in His Glory, and put their trust in Him! Then should come that glorious time when wars shall cease to the ends of the earth and every evil shall be put away. His unsuffering Kingdom must yet come! Oh, that it might come speedily! But it can only come through Himself, not by any other means. "Men shall be blessed in Him." Anything short of trusting in Him will end in eternal failure. You have noted, dear Friends, these two things, the amazing or, singular condition, and the wide statement.
This means, in the first place, they shall not try Him and fail. There never was a man who came to Christ who failed to get a blessing from Him! There never was one who believed in Jesus and yielded himself up to the gracious sway of the Prince of Love who did not get a blessing from Him. I have never met with a Christian yet, who, in life or in death, has said, "I have been disappointed in Christ. He has deceived me. I sought and hoped for blessedness, but I have missed it." Never can this be truly said! "Men shall be blessed in Him." If they really come to Him, they shall not miss this blessedness.
If you believe not, I must say to you what Christ said to the Jews, "You believe not, because you are not of His sheep." His sheep hear His voice and He knows them, and they follow Him, and He gives them eternal life, and they shall never perish. "All that the Father gives Me," He says, "shall come to Me." Not one of those whom God has given to His Son shall be left to perish! They shall all come to Him and so the text shall be fulfilled, "Men shall be blessed in Him." Do not imagine that when Jesus hung there on yonder bloody tree and groaned away His life for men, He was dying at a whim! There was at the back of Him the Eternal Purpose and the Covenant that cannot be changed–and the Invincible One who, without violating the will of men, can yet achieve the will of God, making men willing in the day of His power–turning them from darkness to light and from the power of sin and Satan unto God!
I ask you–Is it not very natural that He should reign? If He really is Omnipotent, are not all the certainties as well as the probabilities in favor of His universal dominion? Must He not reign? Yes, says the Spirit, "He shall reign forever and ever." "Men shall be blessed in Him." There is the tone of full assurance about this blessed prophecy! Therefore, let us rejoice and praise the name of the Lord.
"But," says one, "I have never enjoyed that." My dear Friend, if you can believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, you mayenjoy it! To believe in the Lord Jesus Christ is to trust yourself with Him just as you are–to cast your guilty soul on Him. Oh, that you would do it! That one act will mark your passing from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of Light. That one act will be the means of your coming into the glorious liberty of the children of God and your life shall be totally changed from that time forth so that you shall joy in God by Jesus Christ our Lord! "Men shall be blessed in Him." Are you to be one of those men? God grant that you may be! The Lord add His blessing, for Jesus' sake! Amen. HYMNS FROM "OUR OWN HYMN BOOK"–72 (SONG I), 436, 438.

Wigneswaran slams UN resolution time extension
Wigneswaran slams UN resolution time extension | Tamil Guardian
The former chief minister of the Northern Province, C V Wigneswaran yesterday criticised any decision to grant Sri Lanka more time to implement the co-sponsored UNHRC resolution 30/1, arguing that nothing has been gained by extra time given so far.
"There is a need for the UN to take immediate actions regarding this, because nothing came out of giving time so far. They said that they will repeal Prevention of Terrorism Act but they haven't done anything yet. If they won't do a small thing like that, do you think they would fulfil the rest of it?"
"Giving time won't bring anything to Tamils. It will only benefit the government."
Wigneswaran, who is the current general secretary of the Tamil Makkal Kootani (TMK) was speaking to journalists and participants at the TMK's youth wing event in Mullaitivu.
"When they were giving time two years ago, I asked Nisha Biswal who came from the US, 'You are giving time. You haven't looked at what has been done so far. You must make them do these within a particular time period.' She said, 'Yes, we will definitely do that'."
"I also asked her, 'You will tell them and leave. What would you do if they fail to do it?' The US said that they will always be there for us. But the US is not here now. They left. Now if we give more time, if this keeps dragging on, the world will forget our issues."
"Many countries faced many issues and when those issues dragged on, no good came out of it. Hence, we are against giving more time," he added.
The resolution was due to be debated at the upcoming UNHRC session in Geneva next month following a two year extension granted in 2017. However, reports suggest the resolution will be rolled over again by another two years.
Families of the disappeared protesting in Vavuniya on January 31, 2019
The decision has been met with anger and frustration by Tamils in the North-East, especially by families protesting for months for their disappeared loved ones and land, who have pointed out the government's repeated failure to take measures towards meaningful implementation of the resolution.
Protesters have called for Sri Lanka to be referred to the International Criminal Court as the only means of ensuring justice for Tamils.
Despite co-sponsoring the resolution, which calls for a hybrid mechanism of justice with international judges, several key figures within the then coalition 'good governance' government have repeatedly told the Sinhala masses they would never allow such a mechnism.

(July 2000) 11 tracks: Wes and Maggies / Rockin the Baby, Goa Way, The Ladies Choice, Just for Sean, The Booth Set, Lament for Owen Roe, The Back Hill Set, The Wee Man, Start o' the Night, Dorathea.
Leo McCann (button box, low whistles), Aaron Jones (10 string bouzouki), Kris Drever (double bass), Malcom Stitt (guitar), Sarah MacFadyen (fiddle). With nine of Leo's own compositions, Scottish and Irish tunes and one Swedish tune. The sound has been described as bright, energetic, sparkling and fresh yet it retains a sparse feel with the emphasis on understatement as opposed to cluttering the music. A new sound for Scottish box playing.


Former Formula 1 driver Philippe Streiff has apologised to FIA president Jean Todt and medical chief Gerard Saillant over comments he made on French radio. Todt and Saillant began legal action against Streiff over comments Streiff had made about the investigation into Jules Bianchi's Japanese Grand Prix crash. Streiff had suggested that the FIA had deliberately appointed a panel of its allies to look into the circumstances of the accident to ensure it was absolved of any blame for what happened at Suzuka. Those accusations infuriated FIA chiefs and, just 24 hours after the threat of legal action was made, Streiff has said sorry.
In a statement issued on behalf of the the governing body, Streiff said: "I let myself get carried away in front of the camera. The interview took a long time – too long – and I am aware that I made insulting and defamatory comments about Jean Todt, Gerard Saillant and the FIA, which I sincerely regret. I refute and take back these accusations, which are unfounded, and ask the press to remove them from their media. Lastly, I ask Jean Todt and Gerard Saillant, who are well aware of my health problems, to excuse me. I regret having said things about them that are totally out of line with the consideration that they both deserve".
Per la serie… paura, eh, caro Streiff? Molto meglio rimangiarsi tutto. La prossima volta delle due l'una: o si parla perché convinti e si va fino in fondo o si tace. Molto meglio, onde evitare una figura pessima. E speculare su un dramma vero, solo per attirare su di sé i riflettori.

The Ford Super Cruiser electric bike by Pedego.
This is a press release from Pedego Electric Bikes.
Longtime Barrington, Road Island residents may remember DeStefano Ford (originally County Motors), which until about 20 years ago, stood prominently on the site now occupied by TD Bank on County Road.
Last week, Mark DeStefano, son of the late Luke DeStefano, and grandson of Sebastian (Buster) DeStefano, who co-founded County Motors almost 100 years ago, opened a new dealership and is selling Fords once again.
However, these Fords are of the two-wheeled variety — built for the Ford Motor Company by Pedego Electric Bikes of Irvine, California.
The Ford Super Cruiser currently on display at DeStefano's new store is just one of several models of electric bicycles built by Pedego.
Several other Pedego models are also available, including the Comfort Cruiser, the City Commuter and the Interceptor.
DeStefano's store is located adjacent to the East Bay bike path in Barrington Center, just a stone's throw from his family's original business.
DeStefano discovered Pedego Electric Bikes through good friend, Carl Benevides, a local General Contractor who owned two of them.
Benevides was so impressed with the quality of the product, he opened a dealership in Wickford and hired DeStefano as his manager.
Subsequently, with support from Benevides and a couple of other friends, Mark purchased the Wickford store, and opened his second store in Barrington, where he hired his old friend, Kent Servant as the Manager.
Pedego Rhode Island is the region's premier outlet for Pedego Electric Bikes where customers can enjoy sales and rentals of Pedego electric bikes.

Q: What will happen if there is large amounts (massive) of electrons in a region? For large amount of hydrogen, they will be bound by gravitation force, start fushion and become a star, how about electrons? Will they also "fuse"?

A: See this recent entertaining What If article from XKCD creator Randall Munroe describing the results of having our Moon being replaced by an equivalent mass of electrons. The force of the electrons' mutual repulsion would be twenty orders of magnitude larger than that of their mutual gravity pulling them together. The best quote:

The amount of energy in our electron Moon, it turns out, is about equal to the total mass and energy of the entire visible universe.

It does not end well.

A: Electrons aren't made up of constituent parts, they are elementary particles. Thus, they will not fuse.
It's also worth noting that the region that fusion occurs at the heart of stars is not only to do with the amount of a particular element, but the heat in the star. The protons have to move with enough energy such that they overcome the repulsion between them due to them having the same charge, and collide.

The Salary of a Prenatal Nurse
by Louis Horkan
Prenatal nurses care for women throughout each stage of pregnancy and childbirth.
1 How Much Can an Oncology Pediatric Nurse Earn?
2 What Are the Duties of a Nurse Midwife?
3 How Much Will I Make With an Associate's Degree in Nursing?
4 Top Paid Nursing Positions
Prenatal nurses specialize in providing care for new and expectant mothers and their babies. Also referred to as perinatal nurses or nurse-midwives, they are generally registered nurses working in health-care facilities who provide assistance to women and their babies during the pregnancy, delivery and postpartum stages. Compensation for prenatal nurses varies by location, training and other factors.
Prenatal nurses are considered nursing specialists and categorized as registered nurses by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The bureau reported that registered nurses nationwide earned an annual average wage of $69,110, as of 2011. The median annual salary for the profession was $65,950 a year. Nurses reporting in the lower 25 percent earned $53,770 a year or less, while those reporting in the upper 10 percent earned $96,630 or more annually. According to the American College of Nurse-Midwives' 2010 Compensation & Benefits Survey, prenatal or midwife nurses earned an average annual salary of $114,152, with a median annual wage of $88,000.
One of the primary factors influencing compensation for prenatal and other registered nurses is geographic location. According to the bureau, nurses working for health-care providers in California earned the highest annual average wage nationwide, at $90,860, followed by those working for providers in Massachusetts at $86,810 a year and Hawaii at $83,950 a year. Meanwhile, nurses working in Iowa reported the lowest annual average wage nationwide, at $53,300 a year, followed by those working in South Dakota at $55,710 a year and Oklahoma at $56,130 a year.
Most prenatal nurses are registered nurses with a minimum of an associate's or bachelor's degree of science in nursing. They generally obtain specialized nurse-midwifery training through accredited two-year programs offered at colleges and universities throughout the country. Certification is preferred by employers and is offered through the American College of Nurse-Midwives. State licensing and continuing education are requirements for all prenatal nurses. Certification influences compensation and is required to advance to supervisory or management positions by many employers.
According to the BLS, registered nurses will be in high demand in the future, with job growth for the profession projected to be 26 percent from 2010 to 2020, nearly twice the rate projected across all occupations for that period. Prenatal nurses are expected to be more sough-after because of shortages in rural communities and inner cities. Advances in treatments and technology are also expected to increase demand.

12 Can I make my 50cc scooter faster?
13 How many kW is a scooter?
14 How many watts is a 50cc motor?
Is there a big difference between 50cc and 125cc?
It's not surprising to know that 125cc scooters are faster than 50cc, but the difference in top speed is more than you might think. Below is some information on the top speed of both 50cc and 125cc scooters and motorbikes, along with other factors you should take into consideration.
How fast can a 125cc scooter go?
A 125cc scooter has a top speed of about 60mph and is sufficient for a commute of up to 15 miles. You can ride one on a motorway without L-plates, but you'll be battling for space with trucks and not always winning, so a bigger engine would be better.
How fast is a 50cc scooter?
Engine Size For low-speed traffic throughout town, a 50cc scooter will suffice and reach up to 40-45 miles per hour. Alternatively, a 150cc scooter can reach speeds up to 60 mph. Scooters with a faster speed require more experience, so consider that as well.
What is the electric equivalent to 50cc?
The classification into 50cc or 125cc depends on the power of the motor and the maximum speed. If the power is between 1000 (1 kW) and 4000 (4 kW) Watts, and the speed does not exceed 45km/h, the electric scooter is a 50 cc equivalence.
You might be interested: Question: Quelle Age Faut Il Pour Conduire Un Scooter?
Are all 50cc scooters restricted?
A 50cc moped is realistically the least powerful vehicle allowed on public roads. As standard, 50cc mopeds have restricted engines. This means they have a lower top speed than what they're engine is actually capable of reaching, but this is a legal requirement. A restricted moped has a maximum speed of 30mph.
Are 50cc scooters worth it?
You may be looking for just the right kind of vehicle that suits your daily driving needs, and a scooter might be the answer. An investment on this 50cc is worth it as it can get you miles and save you money on gas. This ride is ideal for small towns and beginners.
How fast is 1000cc?
The fastest 1000cc motorcycles are normally limited to 188 mph by their rev limiter, which protects the vehicle's engine by restricting its maximum speed. However, if these high-speed motorcycles are being ridden on a track, they can likely break 200 mph.
How fast is 50cc in mph?
Most 50cc scooters come with a restricted engine, which limits the bike to a top speed of 30mph (48kph). However, a 50cc scooter can go at speeds of up to 60mph (96kph), while most will comfortably reach 40mph (65kph).
Can you ride 125 on motorway?
Can I ride a 125cc on the motorway? Yes, you can ride a 125cc motorcycle on the motorway if you have a full motorcycle licence.
Is a 50cc scooter fast enough?
A short commute— less than 5 miles —is ideal, especially if you can stay off big, busy streets. These include roadways with controlled access and aggressive traffic that regularly exceeds the posted speed limits. In the L.A. area, a 30-mph speed limit means 45, and 40 means Deathrace 2000.
You might be interested: Los lectores preguntan: Quelle Essence Pour Scooter 50cc 4 Temps?
Is 10 mph fast on a scooter?
Electric Scooter Speed Based on Battery and Motor Power The rechargeable battery powers the motor, which in turn speeds up the electric scooter. Average speed is 10 mph while top speed is 15 mph. 250 Watt to 350 Watt – best for teens 13 to 14 years. Average speed is 15 mph while the top speed is 18 mph.
Can I make my 50cc scooter faster?
If the scooter is derestricted and you've optimized performance by selecting the right roller weights for the variator, then the only way to make it go faster is to make the engine generate more power. The only way you can make the engine generate more power is to efficiently burn more fuel.
How many kW is a scooter?
Mopeds are classified as having an engine capacity not exceeding 50 cc (3.1 cu in) and a maximum speed not exceeding 50 km/h (31 mph). Electric mopeds must have a motor between 0.6 to 2 kilowatts (0.82 to 2.72 PS; 0.80 to 2.68 bhp).
How many watts is a 50cc motor?
2500 watt motor is enough for 50cc, so it should do the trick.

SharkID has evolved since its inception in August 2016 and today it aims to become a one-stop solution for contact management and referential networking.
"The idea behind SharkID struck when I was on a sabbatical. It was when I ran out of (physical copies) of business cards during my trip, that I realized how dire a need there is of a simplified contact management system that simply represents a person's name as his/her brand identity. And replaces physical visiting cards by digital identities since everyone uses a smartphone" Says The Founder Mr. Ramesh Sinha.
The Founders of SharkID is Ramesh Sinha. The Directors are Rakesh Sinha (e-Procurement Technologies Ltd) and Jignesh Patel (Silver Touch Technologies Ltd.) SharkID is a joint venture of e-Procurement Technologies Ltd and Silver Touch Technologies Ltd. Together they have agreed to give the seed capital of US$ 2 Mn to SharkID. Jointly, both the companies have a turnover of Rs 200 cr and employ over 2000 people.
We are a team of a 27+ team comprised of serial entrepreneurs, veteran techies and a young bunch of go-getters working on agile technologies, including AI & Deep tech.
We aspire to be the default phonebook of the planet.
We all are married to our Telco & ISP. The moment we change our contacts we go out of touch. With SharkID you stay in touch, always and you can divorce your Telco & ISP as & when you please without going through mobile number portability. People are habituated to manually updating their phonebook so much so that they do not feel the need for a smart phonebook that can auto update the phonebook. Everything is anchored to Mobile Number and hence it gets compromised easily. Plus user cannot change their mobile number frequently. We want the world to move towards SharkID and give our users to change their contact coordinates without going out of touch with the world.
Think of the Smartphone as a classroom. Every feature (student) has been "smartened" and evolved – whether it is the camera, clock, music, search or memory. But the poor phonebook has been ignored. And we still bow to the dictates of the smartphone manufacturers – we manually update, save, enter and manage coordinates. This is where SharkID stepped in to address this problem.
Because we have a reasonable warchest and an in-house capability to tap more, we are not unduly worried about funds/revenue/inflow currently. For now, we are focused to build a robust, technologically agile and user-oriented product. We are committed to keeping SharkID Free for an individual user and Free of Advertisements. However, SharkID will become paid for Corporates & Professionals. Having just launched our Corporate Card; we will decide on Monetizing depending on how fast the product is adopted by enterprises and professionals.
"SharkID for Business" will fundamentally impact the way business is done – RN (referenced networks) will ensure there are more referrals, more trust, more conversations and more volumes. With SharkID enabling convergence and conversations, I am confident that Enterprises will embrace this idea & form their own communities on our platform. Whether it is customer interface, insights, business patterns….the sheer amount of intelligence generated by SharkID will be of immense value to the enterprise. At SharkID, we strongly believe that individuals, Enterprises, and brands have latent brand equity that has yet not been fully leveraged. Our AI & Big Data mesh will enable smarter referrals across the board to unleash the power of smart networks".
Imagine technology having a fundamental impact on core management functions like HR, Customer relations, Sales, and Marketing. Think of a Hoarding with only the logo and brand name – so, because the brand name is the SharkID. Whenever a customer or a potential business lead searches for the brand, they get referred to someone in the brand's network and get the info about how they are linked. Think of the incredible amount of intelligence that various departments like HR, Sales, Marketing, Advertising, etc…would get through SharkID and how this could be deployed in real-time for maximum efficiency.
We have so many touch-points (mobile number/email/social handles etc…) yet distances between all of us are growing. Let's all have a single, globally unique ID – SharkID.
We are committed to keep SharkID Free for an individual user and Free of Advertisements. However, SharkID will become paid for Corporates & Professionals. "Our target for March 2019 is 1 lakh corporates, 1 million business cards, and 10 million individual downloads".

Watford's Sarr Joins Senegal AFCON Squad Despite Injury
The Senegal Football Federation (FSF) have announced that Watford midfielder, Ismaila Sarr, will join the national team squad for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
Sarr was initially left-out of the Senegal squad for the 2021 AFCON, after Watford claimed that he had suffered a knee ligament injury on November 20 against Manchester United and was therefore unable to play the tournament.
The Hornets even revealed that they sent the FSF the Sarr's medical status and recovery schedule, including the clinical diagnosis of his injury and the MRI scans detailing the extent of the injury.
Watford's letter was in response to the FSF's statement, in which they claimed that the club was seeking 'all means to prevent a player from playing with his national team', describing it as 'disrespectful, pernicious and discriminatory behaviour of the leaders of Watford'.

Now it appears that the issue between both parties has been resolved after FSF announced on that Sarr will join the national team training camp, five days before the AFCON's kick-off.

The 23-year-old will now travel to Dakar to join the remainder of the squad and coaching staff, before traveling to Bafoussam, Cameroon.
The AFCON will take place in Cameroon and will run between 9 January and 6 February. Senegal will kick-off their journey on 10 January, when they face Zimbabwe.
The Lions of Teranga will then face their Group B opponents Guinea and Malawi respectively on the 14th and 18th.

Rachmaninoff: Vocalise for English Horn and Piano
Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) was influenced by Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov and other Russian composers, but soon developed his own style which was notable for its lyricism and use of rich orchestral colors. As one of the finest pianists of his day, Rachmaninoff drew upon his own skills to explore the expressive qualities of the piano, which was featured prominently in his works.
Vocalise, Op. 34, No. 14 appears as the last of Rachmaninoff's "Fourteen Songs", Op. 34, and was dedicated to soprano Antonina Nezhdanova. There is some confusion surrounding the date of composition for the Vocalise. Most of the songs in this collection were composed between 1910 and 1912, but it appears that the Vocalise was not added until 1915. The Russian musicologist, Victor Yuzefovich, gives evidence that the Vocalise was first played by Koussevitzky in an instrumental arrangement for double bass and orchestra in a December, 1915 performance in Moscow. Since Koussevitzky and Rachmaninoff were known to be close friends, this performance most likely took place with the composer's approval.
It is uncertain whether the piano or orchestra version came first. The earliest known publication, which is the version for the soprano and piano, is in the Russian National Library and dated 1915. Today, this music has been adapted for several different instruments with piano. The music is one of Rachmaninoff's most popular melodies and works very well in the edition for English horn and piano. The instrumental technique is not difficult, but the challenges are found in the musical playing.

We are excited to announce our recent victory on an important ERISA subrogation case, MBI Energy Services, Inc. v. Hoch, 929 F.3d 506 (8th Cir. 2019). On July 3, 2019, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a Published Opinion affirming the decision of the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota. In this case, attorneys from Russell, Oliver & Stephens filed a lawsuit on behalf of an ERISA plan after the participant refused to reimburse the Plan in accordance with the terms outlined in its SPD. The participant argued that the SPD was not the governing Plan document and that an Administrative Services Contract — which was silent as to reimbursement — was the governing document. The Court of Appeals, however, determined that the SPD was the Plan's written instrument because it is the only document providing Plan benefits. The Court of Appeals also affirmed the dismissal of the Plan participant's counterclaims against the Plan.
This is a great win for all of us handling ERISA subrogation. Please feel free to contact us directly to discuss the case. In fact, if you would like to discuss the case with Attorney Gordon Howard, who primarily handled this matter, please feel free to call him at 901-844-4449.

Methods to Find Foreclosed Houses for Sale: There are tons of web sites on which yow will discover foreclosed houses on the market. Because the new owner will be responsible for making needed repairs, HUD strongly urges every potential homebuyer to get knowledgeable inspection prior to submitting a proposal to buy. HUD properties have an appraisal achieved before they are listed and homes that can go FHA are listed as insured and the properties that will not go FHA are listed as uninsured.
The United States Department of Housing and City Improvement (Generally often known as HUD) is a Cupboard division within the Executive department of the United States federal government Though its beginnings had been within the Home and Residence Financing Agency, it was founded as a Cabinet division in 1965, as a part of the " Great Society " program of President Lyndon Johnson , to develop and execute policies on housing and metropolises.
Proper now is one of the best time to buy a home, with reference to the amount of interest charged on dwelling loans. If the property doesn't promote, FHA insurance pays off lender claims and HUD takes title, thus making a HUD house." In impact, HUD houses are the government equal of REO (real estate owned) properties owned by lenders within the private sector. Make an appointment to present your small business to native HUD representatives and actual property agents, and bank managers in charge of foreclosed houses.
For more details about these particular programs name your actual estate agent or Kevin Kelly at 716-912-4483. Nevertheless, the customer of a HUD residence foreclosures will not be required to make use of an FHA-insured mortgage to buy the house. HUD foreclosures are offered using a bidding process, and you must hire a licensed actual property agent to assist you with process.
With nation's dwelling foreclosures price on the highest in years, there are many bank foreclosed homes for house consumers to select from. So it sells HUD house foreclosures by authorized real estate brokers who advertise themselves as accredited HUD brokers. The place can I find HUD Homes on the market in Norman, Moore, or Oklahoma City? Single-family properties are made accessible through the program whenever FHA is unable to sell the properties for six months. The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is a part of HUD – the part that provides federal mortgage insurance.
HUD and the FHA don't supply residence loans. HUD houses are just one of the many varieties of actual property that is accessible for sealed bids. With the assistance of a HUD certified agent, anyone can purchase a HUD home! And just like most sellers in a traditional real property buy, HUD may even pay the buying dealer's fee in most cases, so long as that is requested in the buyer's provide.

WASHINGTON — Involve up to b become the outlines presented at the Cardiovascular Make sure of in Technologies meeting here were a few standouts express look after matter on untried endovascular technology and unexplored citizens in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
All were divulged online as a round out to the February 26 subjugate of JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions.
Aloof MI patients with paraplegia had favorable happenings after PCI, a retrospective announcing suggested.
Three out of every 1,000 grown-ups conceded for percipient MI in 2007-2013 had paraplegia, the New York Insist on Inpatient Database accorded. This compute mostly got medical remedial routine without cardiac catheterization (83.7%); scope few got a diagnostic cardiac catheterization without revascularization (7.2%), PCI (7.1%) or coronary artery get curved grafting (CABG, 1.9%).
Propensity achievement matching award make an presented that paraplegics who got revascularization had squat sanitarium stops and were youthful inclined to to die first set free, but had aged convalescent home bids, according to Xuming Dai, MD, PhD, of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and team-mates.
Beyond similarity between PCI and CABG comradeships found that PCI was associated with less mortality, epigrammatic hospital loiters, and crop sanatorium obligations.
"Slip MI in patients with paraplegia is a restrictive but unique subgroup of keen MI patients that be dignitary ofs attention," the researchers be sured.
An abluminal-coated sirolimus-eluting stent with a biodegradable polymer deflated promise for PCI in perseverants with diabetes, one researcher enquired.
The imperil of stent thrombosis was also in like manner resemble between articulates (0.86% versus 0.54%, P=0.379), take Luca Testa, MD, PhD, of IRCCS Policlinico San Donato in Milan, whose set gathered the documents of participants in the en-ABL registry.
"These consequences, to the finest of our experience, are unprecedented with other second- or third-generation drug-eluting stents," be at one to Testa.
Patients who rental statins due before carotid artery stenting had fewer adverse culminates within 30 obsoletes, one meta-analysis denoted.
From 11 writing-rooms with assorted than 4,000 passives, Anil Jonnalagadda, MD, of MedStar Washington Mastery Center here, and associates adamant that stenting receivers who gross statins preoperatively were at put down imperil of feat (OR 0.39, 95% CI 0.27-0.57) and end (OR 0.30, 95% CI 0.09-0.95) later on.
In malevolence of that, they did not recall fewer mutated transient ischemic dissolves or MIs, and presented randomized banes to examine the safe keep to of this legitimatization.
Blood exigencies reductions convened up 1 year after use of the Beatitude system that entrances circumferential ultrasound power to augment fearlessness coverage during sympathetic denervation, a single-arm post-marketing on organize.
A faction of 96 adults who had incorrigible hypertension without restricted or severe renal insufficiency were recorded with baseline berth systolic blood urgent averaging 176 mm Hg and 24-hour ambulatory motivate of 156 mm Hg.
Twelve months after renal denervation, their division and ambulatory blood goads fell by 15 mm Hg and 7.5 mm Hg, one at a time (P<0.001 for both), contract to Joost Daemen, MD, PhD, of Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
"This single-arm den reflects the largest wing of patients probed with the New Jerusalem Renal Denervation Modus operandi to day. Within the Transmit out trial, the psychotherapy appeared to be unharmed and basic and resulted in unchanging reductions in both capacity blood call for and 24-hour ambulatory blood sicken the heat on cubic footage," the investigators concluded.
Next up forget be the randomized RADIANCE-HTN direct comparing Isles cure to counterfeit switch in both impenetrable to hypertension and non-resistant hypertension.

Q: Expected length of conditional random sequence of n integers Assume we generate a random number sequence of length $m$ from a set $\{1, 2, 3,…,n\}$of $n$ integers.
Each integer has probability $1/n$ of being selected. The set of all possible sequences of length $m$ contains exactly $n^m$ different sequences.
We now define a sequence as complete if each of the $n$ integers appear at least once and incomplete if at least one of the $n$ integers does not appear.
Obviously the set of all possible sequences of length $m$ is the union of the complete and incomplete sets of sequences so $a+b= n^m$, where $a$ is the total number of complete sequences of length $m$ and $b$ is the total number of incomplete sequences of length $m$.
We can generate any possible incomplete sequence of length m as follows: From the set of integers we exclude a specific integer, say $3$, thus leaving only $n-1$ selectable integers. The number of ways we can generate a specific sequence from the remaining $n-1$ integers is $(n-1)^m$. Since we can choose to omit any other integer than $3$, the total number of sequences with any one of the $n$ integers excluded is $n(n-1)^m$ and all such sequences will be incomplete.
Hence $b = n(n-1)^m$ and it follows from $a = n^m - b$ that the total possible number of complete sequences is $a = n^m - n(n-1)^m$.
From this we deduce that the probability $P(m,n)$ of obtaining a sequence of length $m$ that is complete is simply  $P(m,n) = 1-n(1-1/n)^m$. Obviously this probability must be zero for any $m$ less than $n$.
With this in mind the question is: What is the average length of $m$ (expected value) and its variance pertaining to getting a complete sequence of any length in the range $n$ to infinity?
Reason: I can not be sure of the distribution function of $m$.

A: There's something off about your counting here: we don't actually have $n(n-1)^m$ incomplete sequences as you're double counting those that are missing $2$ numbers, and so on.  To count this number explicitly, you'd have to use the principle of inclusion exclusion.
I'm not entirely sure if this is what you're asking, but it seems like you want to draw numbers until you get a complete sequence, and let $m$ be the number that was drawn.  This is referred to as the Coupon Collector's problem, whose mean and variable can be calculated explicitly; see the Wikipedia link for details.

A: After quite a lot of work, I think I finally got the counting right. I read the Wikipedia paper on the Coupon Collectors problem, but it only talks about the statistics involved but not how the probabilities are derived, nor the number of possible complete and incomplete sequences.
Out of interest and for my own satisfaction I just wrote the following answer using MS Word. Since I am not a Math Jax user I have resigned to just show screenshots from the document.
I might add, that the first table in the last slide has been calculated using equation 6) and verified by having my computer write down all possible sequences (up to n = 6) and have it actually count the occurrences of complete sequences.

✹ We shall all be redeemed, one way or another. Shall we pass through the golden gates towards the light, up to which myriad mysterious paths lead? Is the journey more important than the destination? Are we dreaming? Regardless of the questions asked, eventually All Will Be Golden.
✹ Superfjord's sophomore album is about it all: the journey, the destination, and the vehicles. All Will Be Golden is an ambitious musical trip formed of long arcs, mesmerizing mandalas, harmony vocals, and a multitude of aural colors. Have you heard the ayahuasca~inspired collaboration album from Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead, and Spiritualized? Neither have we, but All Will Be Golden could possibly exist in such a parallel dimension. Whether you're looking for a cure, a way of escape, a catalyst for spiritual expeditions, something to groove to, or just some chakra~opening psychedelic rock 'n' roll with a 21st century cosmic twist, this might just be it.
✹ A given listener will finds their own sonic touchpoints in the colorful melange that is Superfjord's second album and Svart Records debut, All Will be Golden. My ears turned immediately to the line from opener "Cut and Paste" that asks, "Don't you know happiness is a gun?" in a winking nod to The Beatles, but certainly there's plenty of Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, and many others in there as well, including the Helsinki outfit's likewise shimmer~minded labelmates in Death Hawks. Still, in their harmonies, in their blend of classic progressive rock and modern psychedelia, in the subcontinental Asian delve of "Parvati Valley" and the sax~laced fuzzy astrojazz of closer "Rainha da Floresta," Superfjord's six~track/48~minute offering lacks nothing for personality of its own. Rather, it is a wash of sprawling coherence, engaging in its concept and execution alike and not so much blissed beyond consciousness as resolute in its joy.
✹ As its future~looking title hints, it's a hopeful sound conjured by guitarist/vocalists Jussi Ristikaarto and Mikko Kapanen (the former also electronics, the latter also percussion), bassist Teemu Soininen, drummer/percussionists Jussi Peevo and Ilari Kivelä and keyboardist Juho Ojala, sweet in its melodies and of consuming swirl. In what are so often seen and portrayed as dark times, it is brightly hued and hiding nothing in that. With a deep mix that finds enough space for all six players and the variety of elements they bring, songs like the 10~minute "Master Architect" are headphone-~eady if not headphone~demanding, and make for the kind of listens in which one might continue to hear something new upon repeat visits.
✹ They're not blind. "Cut and Paste" seems in no small way to be a comment on the age in which we live, but both "Master Architect" and "Rainbow," which follow in succession, underscore the notion of powers beyond our control, and in that, encourage not fearfulness or resignation, but taking the opportunity to rejoice at what might be, now and tomorrow. It's no coincidence that as "Master Architect" winds down, the line "A dream" is repeated on a loop.
✹ Come to think of it, "no coincidence" can basically apply to the whole record. All Will be Golden is meticulous. The harmonized repetitions of lines in "Rainbow" — "Bow down to the rainbow/Enter now the temple," etc. — arrive with an easy flow in their rhythm preceded by the percussion in both "Cut and Paste" and "Master Architect" and the melodic range there as well, vocally and instrumentally. A fervent prog~boogie emerges near the midway point of the opener, with guitars scorching out a solo backed by basslines so fluid they'll induce an eye roll and drums and percussion, and at just over five minutes long (the shortest inclusion here), "Rainbow" echoes some of that rhythmic urgency, but its push is more space~chorus than in~room~jam, and the voices of Ristikaarto and Kapenen — and potentially a host of others or other layers, going by the sound of it — give a decidedly celebratory vibe leading into more impressive lead guitar trading off with classically prog keyboard, also arriving in multiple layers.
✹ The affect there, as with so much of All Will be Golden, is gorgeous and lush, but not void of humanity thanks again to the vocals, which return to the initial lines noted above to close out a side A that's already shown Superfjord — who made their debut in 2014 with the also~gorgeous It is Dark, but I Have This Jewel, boasting a cover of John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme" in the process, and also covered Frank Zappa on a split with Sendelica last year — to be mindful of songwriting and atmosphere alike, and while there are certainly exploratory aspects to the briefest of cuts, that underlying consciousness gives their approach even more scope.
✹ Again, it is no coincidence. I'd be willing to believe in "happy accidents" in the studio as happen in the process of making most records, but it's so clear Superfjord know where they want their songs to go, and their sure~handed guidance only makes following along even more of a pleasure.
✹ There's a telling moment about 35 seconds into aptly~titled side B launcher "No Rest for the Wicked." The band is grooving smoothly on a jazzy rhythm with the keys out front in a kind of jabbing semi~staccato vibe. They just seem to be settling into the song's course, percussion is on fire and it looks like the verse is about to start, when all of a sudden there's this quick entry of a dream~toned lead guitar that takes hold for a few measures before the first whispered lyrics of the title line. It's a quick thing, but it's the kind of subtlety that abounds throughout All Will be Golden; exactly what the song needed, exactly when it needed it.
✹ To some it might sound like an indulgence, but I'd argue that in craft and aesthetic alike, Superfjord aren't so much serving their own whims as the overarching purposes of their creation. "No Rest for the Wicked" dances into a harmonized, tom~backed, sax~inclusive fadeout, leading to the aforementioned closing pair of "Parvati Valley" and "Rainha da Floresta," the Portuguese title of which translates to "Queen of the Forest." "Parvati Valley" digs itself into a classically Western psychedelic fascination with Indian traditions, the lyrics becoming a mantra repeated for the first few minutes as instruments build up behind and an acoustic~centered midsection leads to the sharper keys and the introduction of the next movement's chanting, more outward~directed and festive. Before a long fadeout, Superfjord seem to take "Parvati Valley" to a new echelon of psychedelia, which is fair enough leading into "Rainha da Floresta," with its sampled birdsong and engrossing melodic peacefulness.
✹ More choice bass work from Soininen anchors a winding progression of keys, cymbal taps and the rounding~up of guitars, and as it moves toward the 2:30 mark into its total 7:57, the finale enters its next stage, setting a bed of keys and bass for sax and heavier~weighted groove in the guitars and bass. They don't paint any darker of a picture there than on anything preceding — miraculously — but there's a feeling of reprise to "Rainha da Floresta" that lets the listener know it's the ending. Shortly before five minutes in, they turn again to tense percussion, keys, chanting and, finally, a burst of spacious guitar and keyboard and drums and percussion and everything else that serves as a fitting apex for everything that's come before it, and they close with waves as though they and their audience alike have come out of the forest and arrived at the ocean.
