Denver police bring new focus to downtown…
Denver police bring new focus to downtown library amid spike in drug use, illegal activity
Denver library officials say police presence has reduced crime

The Denver Police Department has begun patrolling the Central Library, amid a spike in drug use and illegal activity that has been the focus of heightened scrutiny in recent months.
Library officials are crediting the increased police presence and other safety measures with a significant decrease in illegal activity this summer. The downtown library has also added cameras, increased waste clean-up around the building and stocked overdose kits on site to treat patrons.
"Just observing how the building feels, there's been a remarkable change," said Michelle Jeske, the city librarian. "I don't see the same activities I did a month ago."
Typically police have only visited the library when called, but officers began regular visits in May. Police patrolled inside and outside the building for 219 hours between May 11 and June 16, according to a library news release. Both undercover and uniformed officers are are stationed in the library, said John White, a police spokesman.
"It used to be a lot worse here," said John McClaugherty, a 61-year-old homeless man and library regular who said he stopped using the library briefly due to rampant drug use by others. "It was terrible going in the bathroom, there were needles. I feel a lot safer in here (now)."
Pairs of officers tend to monitor the library for four hours every afternoon, said Chris Henning, a library spokesman.
"A lot of the dealers have been preying on the homeless population. As the dealers move out, the problem has gotten better," Henning said. "We're seeing less loitering, less trash in the past month."
There have been 14 overdoses at the library since Jan. 1, Henning said. The Central Library began stocking kits with Narcan nasal spray to treat overdoses in February, after a 25-year-old man died of an overdose. The kits have been used nine times since.
January 29, 2017 Homeless spending days at Denver's libraries find help in the stacks
March 16, 2017 Denver's Central Library sees 6 drug overdoses since Jan. 1
Police made 40 arrests at the library between January and May, primarily for trespassing. Six arrests were made for warrants, six for drug violations and four for assault. The library called police 262 times in 2016, a 30 percent increase over the previous year. So far this year, calls have been down slightly.
Rachel Fewell, a library administrator, said many arrests at the library are due to banned library patrons re-entering the space. Before police were patrolling, many banned library customers would leave before officers arrived. Now, police on site have been able to respond to trespassing immediately. Some 700 patrons are banned at any given time, Fewell said.
As police crack down on illegal activity at the library, there has been an increase in waste and needles found at nearby library branches, including the Rodolfo "Corky" Gonzales, Byers, and Ross-Broadway branches and the Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library. Henning said the library is monitoring these sites but police aren't currently patrolling there.
Seeing police on-site at the main library has relieved some patrons' fears about safety, but others are uneasy.
Juan, a 37-year-old from Houston who refused to give his last name, said he was using the library every day but stopped when police started patrolling. Juan, who often sleeps in hotels and has no permanent home, complained about harassment and said the officers made him feel less safe.

The library has installed five new cameras outside the building, and will soon be hiring two new "peer navigators," mentors who were formerly down on their luck themselves, to join the two social workers and three peer navigators currently on staff.
Multiple library patrons said Friday that drug use is still frequent in the bathrooms. James Short, a 51-year-old homeless man who has frequented the library for 30 years, said this year's drug use has been the worst he's ever seen.
"The problem is massive," said library regular Eugene Konen, who is also homeless. "You'd have to put a monitor in every bathroom to catch everyone."
The library closed the bathrooms on two floors in June to combat this issue — reducing the number of operating bathrooms from 12 to eight, said Henning, the library spokesman. That allows security to check bathrooms more frequently and concentrates traffic in bathrooms to certain floors. The library is considering different approaches, including employing monitors outside bathrooms.
"It certainly has gotten better as we've closed those two floors down but that's not a model we can sustain long-term," he said.

Arrivals & Departures Navigating the world from your car
The old map book in the car door's pocket might still have its place, but in-car navigation systems and smartphones have taken over. And now there's a new wave of app-based ways to stay on the right road.
Here I am, driving through the Kimberley in the north of Western Australia, laughing at the car's built-in navigation screen. I'm following the Great Northern Highway and there's just a single yellow line across the green screen, not a turn-off anywhere.
"After 100km, go straight on at the junction." Well, it hasn't actually said that, but it could have.
Of course, in-car navigation isn't always this simple, and we are not always helped by systems like this new Toyota Prado's excellent system, which has Kimberley tracks named and showing, and even moves to a night setting, showing the ranges and ridges lit gently by moonlight as they pass across the screen.
Where we have reception, we can use our smartphones, of course.
Big distances in the Kimberley. Stephen Scourfield
But Travel Club Motoring Editor Sam Jeremic is onto something else, with a new navigation app that hooks the phone straight into the car.
It's an example of high-end development finding its way down to affordable everyday cars, as you can find out in his excellent video story …
The Holden Captiva SUV range now has a good, standard feature that will appeal to travellers — Apple Car Play and Android Auto, right across the range. So, these Captivas now come with satellite in-car navigation for thousands of dollars less than if it had had it built in to them. Apple Car Play and Android Auto work through the car's entertainment system, by using an app on your phone. Melissa Leo, Seven West Media

As we head into 2016, it is hard to believe that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare or the PPACA) is six year old already. However, if you look at the results, by most measures it is failing miserably.
On the positive side, the number of uninsured Americans has been reduced by 22 million. Yet this is only 73% of the expected number of 30 million. Similarly, while Obamacare supporters predicted that there would be 17 million new enrollees in Medicaid, the actual number is only 13 million, or 76% the expected number. However, when you look at the newly covered under the exchanges, that number is only 12 million, which is only 57% of the expected number of 21 million. By any measure, only achieving 57% of your goal can hardly be considered anything but a failure. And it gets worse, if you can believe it.
With exchange enrollment down 43% and Medicaid enrollment down 24%, one would expect that the cost of the PPACA would be down significantly as well. However, costs are only 17% below the expected figures. How can this be? Obviously, the cost of covering Medicaid enrollees and exchange subsidies must be significantly higher that was predicted. In fact, the government now predicts that the average subsidy in 2016 will be 18% higher than was predicted in March 2015. That's almost 20% higher than was predicted just a year ago, not what was predicted back in 2010 when the program started. This is a clear indication that enrollees are less healthy (resulting in higher claims and thus higher premiums) and poorer (resulting in higher subsidies) that was predicted just one year ago.
As if that is not bad enough, the story gets even worse. Since those being covered are sicker than expected, insurers will need to continue to raise premiums to maintain coverage given the higher claims expense, which in turn will increase the government expense for subsidies and also likely discourage new enrollees while potentially causing some enrollees to drop their coverage. Yet, the ones most likely to drop coverage are those who are healthy, so the trend to an unhealthy population in the exchanges will continue to accelerate. This in turn will cause premiums and subsidies to increase further. This has been supported by studies that have shown claims processed under exchange policies are approximately 20% higher that under the employer group insurance market.
So with escalating costs and underperforming enrollments, PPACA supporters still estimate that there are 6 million exchange eligible Americans who continue to be uninsured, even despite individual mandate penalty of at least $695 per year. With these results, how can this be deemed anything but a failure?

Q: onSubmit validation changing label style I'm trying to get this form to change label color after submission if the field is empty and then return back to normal when the field is filled in.
It's behaviour would be something similar to:
Onsubmit validate change background requried fields?
Except I can't figure out how to link the inputs to the labels. I'm using the jsFiddle from the link above at:
http://jsfiddle.net/interdream/cpG2r/7/
window.onload = function() {
document.getElementById("myForm").onsubmit = function() {
  var fields = this.getElementsByClassName("required"),
      sendForm = true;
  for(var i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) {
    if(!fields[i].value) {
      fields[i].style.backgroundColor = "#ff0000";
      sendForm = false;
    }
    else {
      fields[i].style.backgroundColor = "#fff";
    }
  }
  if(!sendForm) {
    return false;
  }
}
}

My JavaScript isn't so good. Please help!

A:
Here is your Working sample</>

A:
You should look around Knockoutjs style binding with dom value.

A: you could add label tags, like:
<form action="" id="myForm">
    Required field: <input type="text" name="field1" class="required" />

    Required field 2: <input type="text" name="field2" class="required" />
    <input type="submit" value="Go" />
</form>

And in js part
window.onload = function() {
    document.getElementById("myForm").onsubmit = function() {
      var fields = this.getElementsByClassName("required"),
          sendForm = true;
      for(var i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) {
          var lbl = document.getElementsByTagName("label")[i]; //get label
        if(!fields[i].value) {

            lbl.style.color = "red";
            console.log(lbl );
          fields[i].style.backgroundColor = "#ff0000";
          sendForm = false;
        }
        else {
            lbl.style.color = "black";
          fields[i].style.backgroundColor = "#fff";
        }
      }
      if(!sendForm) {
        return false;
      }
    }
}

See : updated Fiddle

A: Try
<form action="" id="myForm">
    Required field: <input type="text" class="required" />

    Required field 2: <input type="text" class="required" />
    <input type="submit" value="Go" />
</form>

And
window.onload = function() {
    document.getElementById("myForm").onsubmit = function() {
        var fields = this.getElementsByClassName("required"),
            sendForm = true;
        for(var i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) {
            if(!fields[i].value) {
                fields[i].style.backgroundColor = "#ff0000";

                var prev = fields[i].previousSibling;
                while(!/label/i.test(prev.tagName)){
                    prev = prev.previousSibling;
                }

                prev.style.backgroundColor = "#ff0000";
                sendForm = false;
            }
            else {
                fields[i].style.backgroundColor = "#fff";
            }
        }
        if(!sendForm) {
            return false;
        }
    }
}

Demo: Fiddle

A: You can use jquery validation Plugin ... it has support for all types of validations as well as changing label colors & Can display suitable error messages

A:
Here is very simple, smart yet effective way to doing this by using amazing knockout binding  here is working sample :JsFiddle Link

In this episode, I break down the 5-part strategy my church uses to partner with parents. I walk through these five steps, talk about what they look like practically – week to week, and month to month – for us. I also draw a roadmap, detailing how churches can begin to take steps toward partnering with parents, while not doing it all at once. The ultimate goal of parent partnership is to help parents take one step in leading their child spiritually. I hope that this 5-part strategy helps you do that.

During a media call for the season launch of the V8 Super Cars at Taronga today, driver Jamie Whincup was having a zoo encounter with a python when he was asked by photographers to pose for a photo with the competition trophy.
The python took an interest in the trophy base and started to investigate it. A few minutes later, when Mr Whincup adjusted his hold on the trophy, the python bit Mr Whincup on the knuckle.
An experienced reptile keeper was on hand and encouraged the python to release its hold. Mr Whincup was given first aid to treat the small puncture marks on his knuckle.
The snake was a 10 year old non-venomous Python that has been at Taronga since it was a hatchling. Named 'Fluffy', the snake is always calm during encounters and is known to have a placid nature. It has never bitten anyone before.
The Zoo commenced an incident investigation immediately and the python will not be used in encounters until that has been concluded.
Zoo staff apologised to Jamie Whincup, who was calm and gracious about the accident.


That there is a lot to be said sometimes for that old saw, that creating is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. Recently at least, it has seemed to be more about working without feeling hugely inspired at all and allowing the flow to come slowly, without forcing it.
I have been attending life drawing classes and that has sometimes seemed like a drudge at the end of a long, long day.
I have also been working on a new series of paper-based works that did not seem to be coalescing into any new body to be excited about at all. I have been trying to resolve two older pieces in canvas as well as creating new textural pieces on canvas using the techniques I have been working with on my paper-based works, without much sense of these coalescing into any kind of massive new ouevre likewise either.
It was good then, after photographing my works over the weekend, that things have been taking form, and taking form well – at least my newest paper-based works have been. My smaller canvas-based works are beginning to take shape too, but I am looking forward to having more time over the summer to really make a difference to those.
Enjoy these images, if you are following this blog in any way at all – there is more to come!
These three works are created on stiff paper, using differently-textured other kinds of paper, gold and copper acrylic or wax-based paints and metal foil. The intention is that each piece should be deeply layered, each containing memory and imprints of earlier stages of evolution.
This entry was posted in Uncategorized and tagged canvas pieces, gold and copper, mixed-media pieces, paper pieces, textural pieces on June 3, 2014 by Lynda Stevens.
Fantastic works, suggestive of heat of change, pressures, the forces of nature and the coldness of ice.
Thanks for dropping by again Colin! – and yes I always went for an organic feel with these.

Q: Do I need to use jQuery.noConflict() when using SASS as well? I am using both SASS and jQuery, and not sure if the two would have conflict over the dollar sign. Also, I am using them on js.fiddle, so cannot artificially prioritize any. Can someone tell me if the jquery noConflict function is needed in this case, or at all?

A: No it is not required. Both are very different entities, you can use $ in both.

The 4-hour Work Week – Author, Tim Ferriss, adopts the pareto principle or the law of the "vital few" where 80% of the result come only from 20% of the causes. Ferris says that by maximizing the 20% you will be able to eliminate distractions and focus on what is important. Thus creating a lifestyle that has less work and more play. Find out more by clicking here.
Rich Habits – This personal finance gem is a product of Tom Corley's 5-year research about what the rich do every day that the poor don't. Among these habits are: they wake up 3 hours before work, they watch less reality tv than those who are poor, and they educate themselves by listening to audio books during commute to work. Find out about the other habits here.
The Automatic Millionaire – Most of us believe that we only need to find ways to increase our income in order to gain wealth. Bach believes that it is not true. He argues that wealth is a product of what we spend and not what we earn. Similar to the personal finance favorite, The Richest Man in Babylon, this book promotes paying oneself first and automating everything else. Click here to grab a copy.
The Millionaire Next Door – This book will help you understand how real millionaires are made and offers realistic advice on how we can become one. The Millionaire Next Door revolves around some key themes: choosing a partner with similar values, focusing time and energy on wealth accumulation, and living below your means. This is a great read for those who are starting out in their journey to financial success. Click here to get a copy.
The Intelligent Investor – Written by Warren Buffet's mentor, Benjamin Graham, who introduced the term "value investing" to the world of securities analysis.

The answer is "yes". Click here to find out why.
The Richest Man in Babylon – This book is based on parables set in ancient Babylon. The lessons you will find are very simple and straight to the point. Among the lessons mentioned are: only seek advice from those who are wise and knowledgeable about a subject, pay yourself first, save 10% of what you earn, and 20% of your income should be used to pay for debt. Click here for more lessons.
Think and Grow Rich – A product of 20 years of research to accumulate information from more than 500 individuals, this book showcases 13 steps to obtain success. It has shed its light to more than 70 million readers up to date and is still considered to be one of the greatest self-help favorites available. Click here to grab a copy on Amazon.
Rich Dad Poor Dad – Personal finance guru and writer, Robert Kiyosaki stresses in this book that money is not taught in school or any educational institution but mostly at home. Thus not having a good financial program and negative mindest greatly affects the success of an individual. This explains why professionals who had good grades in school may still face difficulty in managing their finances later on in life. While not a personal finance "textbook", it has nevertheless been tremendously influential. Click here to grab a copy.
The Total Money Makeover – Like the title suggests, the main premise of this book is to give your finances a "makeover". But as Ramsey points out, everything should start with behavior since personal finance is 20% knowledge and 80% behavior. Ramsey also introduces the Debt Snowball method, a method of paying off your debts that has been proven to be effective. Click here to learn more.
Freakonomics – Although this book is not personal finance in nature, it helps its readers see things in an economist's point of view. Particularly the hidden economic side of most things including personal finance. If you are up for reading a book with a lot of controversy that will open your mind, then this book is for you.

Bhikkhu Bodhi is an American Buddhist monk from New York City. Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1944, he obtained a BA in philosophy from Brooklyn College (1966) and a PhD in philosophy from Claremont Graduate School (1972).
Drawn to Buddhism in his early 20s, after completing his university studies he traveled to Sri Lanka, where he received novice ordination in 1972 and full ordination in 1973, both under the late Ven. Ananda Maitreya, the leading Sri Lankan scholar-monk of recent times.
He was appointed editor of the Buddhist Publication Society (in Sri Lanka) in 1984 and its president in 1988. Ven. Bodhi has many important publications to his credit, either as author, translator, or editor, including The Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha — A Translation of the Majjhima Nikaya (co-translated with Ven. Bhikkhu Nanamoli, 1995) and The Connected Discourses of the Buddha — a New Translation of the Samyutta Nikaya (2000)
In May 2000 he gave the keynote address at the United Nations on its first official celebration of Vesak (the day of the Buddha's birth, enlightenment, and passing away). He returned to the U.S. in 2002 and since July 2002 has been living and teaching at Bodhi Monastery. He is currently the president of the Sangha Council of Bodhi Monastery and the chairman of Yin Shun Foundation.

Eminem issues apology for racist lyrics
Eminem issues apology for racist lyrics. Slim says he's sorry, cites the power of hip-hop to uplift, and still gets a dig in at The Source, which unearthed the song
By Gary Susman
Updated December 05, 2003 at 05:00 AM EST
It's usually impossible to get Eminem to apologize for his often inflammatory lyrics, but now he's apologized for the same track twice in two weeks. When The Source magazine unearthed a cut of a pre-fame Marshall Mathers from at least a decade ago, in which he spouted rhymes dissing a black ex-girlfriend, the rapper downplayed the tape as the rant of a callow teen who was bitter over a failed romance. On Thursday, however, he issued a fuller apology, a page-long statement in which he explicitly apologized for the track's racial slurs, though not without getting in a few digs at the magazine that dug up the recording.
Eminem dismissed the magazine's revelation of the old tune as another salvo in its ongoing feud against the rapper, a feud he has said is fueled in part by sour grapes on the part of rapper and Source cofounder Ray "Benzino" Scott. In his statement, as quoted by MTV News, Eminem called the unveiling of the tape at a press conference last month "really nothing more than blatant self-promotion for a failing magazine and one man's lifeless music career. They're scared of what can happen if the hip-hop community shows it can live without them."
He also emphasized that the song "in no way represents who I was then or who I am today. In becoming an adult, I've seen what hip-hop and rap music can do to touch millions of people. The music can be truly powerful, and it has helped improve race relations in a very real way. I want to use this negative attack on me as a positive opportunity to show that."
The "Lose Yourself" rapper concluded, "So while I think common sense tells you not to judge a man by what he may have said when he was a boy, I will say it straight up: I am sorry I said those things when I was 16. And I don't want to let anybody turn this into an opportunity to promote their own bulls— agenda."

Patriarch Bartholomew urged Ukrainian dissenters to join the Orthodox Church
Strelna, May 31, Interfax - Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople urged Ukrainian dissenters to repent and join the canonic Orthodox Church.

Once again, Townsquare Media and Oxford Casino Hotel have teamed up to help raise money for local charities, and this year they came up big.
Oxford Casino Hotel partnered with the likes of radio stations WCYY, WBLM, WHOM, the Peak and the Q in order to pull in over $150,000 in 2017.
The "money went to fight cancer, help our veterans, feed families, find homes for pets and help grieving families," according to Brian Lang, regional market president for Townsquare Media.
Vice President and General Manager of Oxford Casino Hotel Jack Sours added, "We are so proud that the guests of Oxford Casino Hotel stepped up to contribute over $150,000 in donations for 2017."
Whether it was for Q Cans for a Cure, Peak for Pets or the many other fundraisers, giving back to the community has been key.
Both Oxford Casino Hotel and Townsquare Media can't wait to raise even more money this year and help out once again.

Q: Git Lab: How to get issues by user id without authentication Following the GitLab Api Documentation i can't found a solution to my problem.
Need to get every open issue and closed issues from up to 2 days ago using GitLab api, preferably grouping them by the user whom has the issue assigned.
The solution right now its doing a request to bring all the groups from the gitlab, and do a request for each group to bring its issues closed and open, select only the closed ones from 2 days ago, then get all the users from gitlab and start comparing who has assigned which issue (most urgent change its that "getting every single one closed issue" since request can take a lot).
GitLab api appears to be able to bring issues created or asignated to the authenticated user, but still doesnt bring issues created by other users (even when i'm using an admin key to authenticate the api requests)

A: You are correct that it is not possible to request all issues at once, but it is possible to request issues on behalf of other users.
For this there is the sudo parameter. This parameter you can use to impersonate any user as long you are a admin.

Haunted by a failed love affair and the darkest of family secrets, Waldemar 'Waldy' Tolliver wakes one morning to discover that he has been exiled from the flow of time.
The world continues to turn, and Waldy is desperate to find his way back-a journey that forces him to reckon not only with the betrayal at the heart of his doomed romance but also the legacy of his great-grandfather's fatal pursuit of the hidden nature of time itself.
Part madcap adventure, part harrowing family drama, part scientific mystery–and never less than wildly entertaining–The Lost Time Accidents is a bold and epic saga set against the greatest upheavals of the twentieth century.


Orasa Avudhkhom, director of the Prachuap Khiri Khan Office of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, said her office has reached an agreement with the Thanarat Fort, which is in charge of the park, to close it for maintenance of the sculptures of the seven great kings of Thailand. Workers would also use the period to restore landscaping in the park, she added. The park, which features giant statues of the kings, is located at the Army Noncommissioned Officer School and is opposite the Suanson Pradiphat Army recreation site. Ms Orasa said the park had been visited by more than 600,000 people from July 1 to Sept. 25.

Of Computers and Cronyism: What's the Cause of Italy's Productivity Problem?

The latest Stigler Center working paper from Bruno Pellegrino and Luigi Zingales argues that Italy's sclerotic TFP growth over the past two decades has stemmed from the inability of its meritocratically challenged management to take full advantage of the ICT revolution.

Economists started worrying about Italy's poor productivity numbers long before the IMF warned last year that the country is currently verging on two "lost decades" of growth. Hard-hit as the country has been by the financial firestorm of 2008—with IMF forecasts showing it unlikely to fully bounce back from the crisis until the mid-2020s—Italy's problems stretch back much further to the mid-1990s. In their latest Stigler Center working paper, Bruno Pellegrino and Luigi Zingales [Faculty Director of the Stigler Center and one of the editors of this blog] offer evidence linking one of the most alarming symptoms of this "Italian disease"—the country's near-stagnant total factor productivity growth—with a lack of meritocracy among managers that has prevented firms from capitalizing on the information and communication technology revolution.
Productivity in Italy began to trail behind that of other developed countries in the mid-1990s, with growth in output per hour worked during 1996–2006 reaching just 0.5 percent, compared to Germany at 1.7 percent, France at 1.9 percent, and the United States and Japan at 2 percent. But while some of the institutional dysfunctions for which Italy stands out among other rich countries might explain some of this lag, Pellegrino and Zingales are more interested in probing why Italy's productivity suddenly dropped off relative to its own historical performance in the decades prior. Growth in Italian TFP (which measures the part of output not accounted for by production inputs—in other words, how efficiently inputs are being used) hit a wall in the mid-1990s, during what was otherwise a period of relative economic stability.

Economists have advanced several ideas on what caused this unraveling of Italian productivity growth after its steady climb up until the early 1990s. In their working paper, Pellegrino and Zingales take on various competing hypotheses—that trade shocks, inflexible labor markets, or just plain bad governance is what has been hurting growth—before turning their attention to another shock that swept across the developed world at that time: the digital revolution. They are particularly interested in the literature on ICT complementarity, that is, how ICT investments can interact with certain firm characteristics to either bolster or dampen productivity.
One after another, the authors discard hypotheses on the Italian productivity decline by marshalling a rainbow of different data sets for their needs. The root of the problem is not, they say, due to shocks to trade after China's entry to the WTO or Italy's integration into the eurozone: in fact, sector-level EU-KLEMS data reveal that Italian industries with greater exposure to China as measured by OECD and WTO data did no worse on TFP growth than less exposed industries.
Nor does it appear that the problem is that Italy's rigid labor markets have been keeping people from moving into the right jobs: sectors where workers experienced mass layoffs (as captured in the CPS Displaced Worker's Supplement) during the same period in the United States, with its extremely unprotected labor markets, did not do worse on TFP growth in either Italy or other countries that score high on a composite index of labor law strictness.
And while the decline in Italy's quality of government, as measured by the Rule of Law Worldwide Governance Indicator over the period in question, is obviously quite a serious problem, it seems not to be the root of the Italian productivity problem, or at least not directly. The authors test for a relationship between TFP slowdown and a sector's level of dependence on the government using a dataset they put together themselves from the Factiva news search engine, and conclude that decaying governance quality is not what's sapping productivity growth.
Among the competing explanations for the Italian productivity problem, Zingales and Pellegrino see the most potential in shocks from the ICT revolution that took off in the mid-1990s. The rest of their paper probes the mechanism whereby ICT capital might yield productivity growth and why it has not done so in the Italian case. Other research has examined how Italy's delay in jumping on the ITC bandwagon hurt productivity. But here Pellegrino and Zingales follow other researchers who've found that, on its own, simply investing in ITC is not enough: Garicano and Heaton (2010), for instance, found that IT increases do not necessarily make workers more productive in the absence of specific management and organizational practices and the sorts of "intangible assets" described by Brynjolfsson et al. in 2002 and elaborated upon by Bloom et al. in 2012.
One such asset on which previous research has found Italian firms run conspicuously short is meritocracy. Most Italian firms make human resources decisions—whom they hire, fire, promote, and reward—based on loyalty rather than merit. Loyalty-based management can work well for firms operating in contexts with weak legal enforcement and widespread corruption, but it is often poor at embracing, deploying, and capitalizing upon new information technologies. As the authors put it, "A reasonable explanation is that, at the onset of the ICT revolution, Italy found itself with the wrong type of management system to take advantage of these newly available technologies." In other words, the interaction between meritocratic management and ICT investment is the ground on which Italian productivity came to die.
To disentangle the possibility that other country-level institutional features correlated with meritocracy might be what is actually at work here, the authors measure meritocracy at both the firm level (with EFIGE data) and the country level (using the WEF Global Competitiveness Report Expert Opinion Surveys). They find a positive correlation between EU-KLEMS sector-level TFP growth numbers and an interaction term capturing level of meritocratic management and ICT capital—not just in the Italian case but across the countries in their sample.
Figure 2: Productivity growth around the ICT revolution at the industry level.1 Source: Pellegrino and Zingales, 2017
As figure 2 shows, in non-meritocratic countries, sectors that invested less in ICT capital showed higher levels of TFP growth than ones that spent more on ICT. Money spent on ICT is clearly no magic bullet for boosting productivity in the absence of the appropriate management styles. In the Italian case specifically, the estimated magnitude of the effect is rather breathtaking: at least half of Italy's TFP gap can be accounted for by this interaction between ICT and meritocracy.
The obvious question that emerges, then, is why Italy should continue to cling so stubbornly to a management style that has been dragging down the country's growth numbers for decades. In answering it the authors circle back around to one of the factors they started with: Italy's shoddy institutions. The authors are careful to use positive language in assessing when loyalty-based management can be optimal: in the face of Italy's inefficient legal system and problems with corruption, it seems this management style can still get things done.
But they step away from the euphemisms when delivering their final, damning diagnosis of Italy's productivity problem: "Familyism and cronyism," they conclude, "are the ultimate cause of the Italian disease."

Original figure notes: "This figure displays the evolution of TFP estimates, indexed at 1995, from the EU KLEMS database for different country/sector groups. We sort high-Meritocracy versus low-Meritocracy countries (top tercile versus bottom tercile based on our country-level measure of meritocracy) and high ICT intensiveness versus low ICT intensiveness sectors (top eight versus bottom eight sectors based on the sector-level, cross-country average contribution of ICT capital to output growth in 1995–2006). We take the median TFP growth rate for each group/year, giving equal weight to all country/sectors."[↩]

Look for the stock to spike just before Oct 13 based on hype ($40?) and then settle a little afterwards ($38?). Predictions are fun.
In one quarter, JJ? When did that happen.
I think everyone and their mother knows that Apple has sold one million iPods since they debuted, but they haven't sold one million in ONE QUARTER!
Actually Ed, Apple is now routinely selling 700 to 800,000 iPods EACH quarter for the last few quarters. With HP selling their version of the iPod, Apple should top one million units shipped in this quarter.
solid: I think that was the point Ed was trying to make!
Nashlore: Could be Nashy, but it's hard to infer from his comment. To me, he is implying that Apple has only sold one million iPods since its introduction, which would be way low. And they have been nearly selling a million per quarter for quite a while now.

In recent years, Schleimbeutelentz�ndung treatments using lights provides proven to be a good good medical related alternative for you to a variety of conditions between sleep disorders, suffering, acne attacks, SAD (seasonal affective disorder) and gentle depressions. 1 very good point for the choice is the effectiveness as opposed with the other varieties of treatments when it comes to simplicity of use, costs, moment and effort.
The other factors considered are the fever blisters facts that light healing is non-invasive and drug-free for the most part. For SAD and minor major depression, there is virtually no more need to buy anti-depressant medicinal drugs that are in some cases contra-indicated with the patients normally unknown illnesses and may trigger complications. There can be no more need for like actions as injections and the like to address these health conditions like often the old ways in treating acne pimples, for instance.
The light-weight used for wound care treatment and treatment happen to be five to 20 time period brighter than normal lighting, and sports close to ten, 000 (lux) an average of. That can be effective in the event that you want more rapidly success in your therapies. It is common that patients show improvements exposed to natural lighting. However , in severe situations, a tool is needed to help produce higher luminosity levels of light to be effective.
These days, LED technologies is now useful for often the bright light treatments for any benefit of patients. Again, patients are found in order to show advancements exposed to help such natural light methods as the sun. Scientific studies, even so, had proved the fact that these treatments (done in respect to specifications by simply dermatologists) produce better results than natural healing. One account is usually how intense this ministration of the cure itself.
A non-threatening pimples treatment, that is constantly good for consult your doctor or even a great health qualified before embarking on self-medication using lights. For instance, not all types connected with acne can be properly dealt with by this medical procedure. When your doctor recommends this therapy form, by all means, abide by his guidance to the letter.
Pores and skin sensitivity must also come to be tested prior to doing almost any cure. The removal of makeup together with other merchandise on your current skin is recommended before a light therapy treatment. Advantages and disadvantages of Light Pain Relief - Is going to do You Have to Know can furthermore change it is effectiveness. Whilst it may well be great for some people, other people get little or simply no effect at most. Your dermatologist or perhaps medical professional are able to help you assess the particular situation rather than embarking on judgements of your family. Right now there are theories on this in connection with the right array connected with light to utilize, the length of the treatment, and also the level (or otherwise) with the treatments during the sessions.
You must check with your medical doctor after of a month involving light therapy to check on often the effectiveness. If there happen to be considerable improvements, you can certainly check out purchase the in home light therapies device as well as devices you may need. Increasing typically the period, regularity of therapies, or the intensity involving the treatment sessions have to be cleared with your medical doctor or maybe a overall health professional immediately after considering your present advance, or lack.
Treatments have to proceed along with caution to get people who own some other active skin challenges throughout the treated areas. The identical is true for persons who also happen to be extra sensitive to bright lights. Important safeguards are usually the best policy.

Robredo calls out Duterte govt for faster rehab of Marawi city
The second highest official in the land is calling on all government agencies to refocus in giving the added push in the efforts in the rehabilitation of the war torn Marawi City which she calls "nelected" because of the inaction of government since its occupation by the Jemaa Islamiyah inspired Islamic militants three years ago.
Vice President Maria Leonor "Leni" Robredo said this comment coinciding with the third year anniversary of the Marawi siege.
"Three years of inaction and neglect in Marawi is a thousand days too long. We call on all concerned agencies to accelerate their actions while exercising full transparency," Robredo said in a statement on Saturday.
Marawi City in ruins, VP Robredo (inset)
"Marawi is not merely a tragedy to be remembered; it is an ongoing problem that needs to be solved," she added.
The Marawi siege began last May 23, 2017 and it took five months of war between the government troops and the Islamic militants who want s to declare their own Islamic state.
It ended October 2017, after the government was able to exterminate the leaders of the militants including Isnilon Hapilon.
VP calls out the Duterte government
Robredo said after three years from its liberation, the city still "lies in ruins," and many of the residents are still living in the temporary shelters established by the government.
As per the non-government organizations Al-Mujadilah Development Foundation Inc., Ranaw Rescue Team, and the Moro Consensus Group showed that about 17,000 Marawi residents continue to live in temporary shelters.
"Marawi continues to suffer even as we all face the challenges brought about by COVID-19," VP Robredo said. "The ongoing crisis should have by now made us realize: The suffering of one redounds to the suffering of all."
VP Leni stressed that temporary shelter communities "pose an even more profound challenge given the virality of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease)."
"Any outbreak in these tightly-packed communities will increase the risk for all of us, and affect a public health system that is already under tremendous strain," the Vice President explained.

A Korean American Graduate Donates Lifetime Retirement Savings
to Alma Mater
Alumnus Yoon, Heung-noh donates USD 870,000 (KRW 10.4 billion),
a sum that he saved during his 47 years in the US.
▲ Alumnus Yoon, Heung-noh
Yoon, Heung-noh ('64, College of Medicine), a Korean American, made a USD 870,000 (approximately KRW 1040 million) donation to the Korea University Medical Center through the International Foundation for Korea University (IFKU).
After graduating from the College of Medicine, Yoon immigrated to the US in 1973. At that time, the US, which was short of doctors due to the Vietnam War, was opening its doors to foreign physicians, which led 300 out of 800 Korean medical school graduates to pursue their careers there. When Yoon was undergoing his medical resident training in Washington, D.C. in 1975, African American residents of Anacostia visited him one day. Devastated by the assassination of Martin Luther King, they asked Yoon if he could open a clinic in their neighborhood. With his desire to become a doctor like Albert Schweitzer, Yoon opened a clinic in Anacostia in 1978, and has been working there for over 40 years.
Yoon said, "I have never experienced any conflicts with the residents and have had the reward of practicing medicine in a place that needs doctors as much as anywhere else." As a progressive social activist, he has served as the head of the Washington Chapter of the National Unification Advisory Council since August 2017, and as the Board Director of the Washington Branch of the Center for Historical Truth and Justice since last November. Yoon has also worked hard to promote the legitimacy of the peaceful reunification of Korea by meeting with US politicians and their aides who work on policies related to the Korean peninsula. Moreover, he has supported the unearthing and examination of historical documents related to US-Japan diplomacy in the Library of Congress in Washington and various other archives.
He had donated his lifetime retirement savings to his alma mater. During a conversation about his life in the US and the motivation behind this donation, Yoon said, "I am truly indebted to my alma mater in many ways, which led me to want to return the favor. I thank my wife who willingly agreed to my plans and encouraged me to donate as soon as possible."
Due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, KU's plan to visit the American alumni association in the US was unfortunately canceled. Instead, KU President Chung Jin Taek recently held an online video conference with the alumni, making clear his appreciation of their regard for Korea University, and delivering Chuseok greetings. He told Yoon that "The donation, made up of your lifetime savings that you worked so hard for, will be used to cultivate future intellectuals and for the development of KU."
Kim, Young-hoon, KU Vice President for Medical Affairs, announced his gratitude by saying, "I would like to express my profound respect to Mr. Yoon, who has devoted his life to one of the places where medical care is most needed. His valuable donation, the result of his heartfelt sincerity, will be used by the KU Medical Center to conduct research that can contribute to advances in cutting-edge medical technology."
According to IRS regulations, if a taxpayer residing in the US donates through IFKU, they are eligible for a tax deduction. IFKU plans to offer Yoon IRS tax deduction consultation services, provided by local experts in the US. The entire amount donated through IFKU will be deposited in KU's bank account. IFKU was established in New York in October 1997, with the contribution and support of US alumni, and the organization has donated over USD 8 million to KU over the past 23 years.

Google launches Google Shopping in India, What's special?
Ritik Singh
The search giant Google has now expanded its services in India by offering a dedicated search engine dubbed as "Google Shopping", intended to provide a flawless shopping experience to the users.
The new Google Shopping search engine will be available across both mobile and desktop versions of Google Search in India that includes a new shopping tab as well as a dedicated shopping homepage. Additionally, it'll be soon made compatible with the Google Lens feature.
With Google Shopping, users will be able to search for different products across several categories and choose between thousands of retailers to get the best price. The selected product can also be analysed based on the reviews, ratings and price drops. Users will even get recommendations based on what they search across various categories, ranging from Electronics, Books, Watches, Clothing, etc. Moreover, the service will also be offered in the Hindi language in addition to English.
"There are 40 million Indians coming online every year. In India, there are a total of 450 million internet users right now. However, only one-third of these have ever shopped online, and this includes all types of purchases, including tickets, hotel bookings, retails. When it comes to actual retail, the figure is even smaller. We want to open up the ecosystem, and help bring more users online," explained Surojit Chatterjee, Vice President – Product Management, Google.
Google aims to offer a personalised shopping experience to the users. Following the same, Mr Chatterjee mentioned "We are using machine learning to fine-tune the experience. As you use the service more and more, it will show the categories most relevant to you." He also claimed that there wouldn't be any commercial interference in the search results, and there will be a separate team to rectify fake product listings.
That being said, the company has also created a sperate page for merchants, dubbed as Merchant Centre. The retailers across the globe are free to upload details of their products that too without any charges. To support local retailers, the Merchant centre will also be available in Hindi from now onwards. The company is also conducting a pilot programme with offline retailers to bring them on the new platform.
