RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Grace Hunter scored 19 points and No. 13 North Carolina State pulled away in the third quarter to beat Michigan 66-55 on Thursday night in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge and remain undefeated.
NC State is 7-0 for the first time since 1999. The Wolfpack have won 23 consecutive nonconference home games and hosts Old Dominion on Sunday.
Hunter was just 4 of 14 from the field but made all 11 of her free-throw attempts. Kiara Leslie added 15 points on 7-of-19 shooting for the Wolfpack. Elissa Cunane chipped in with 13 points, and Hunter and Leslie grabbed eight rebounds apiece.
Nicole Munger scored 18 points and Deja Church had 14 to lead Michigan (5-2). The Wolverines have lost two of their last three games, both to ranked teams, and face No. 22 Marquette on Sunday.
Michigan led 40-33 with 6:49 remaining in the third quarter. Aislinn Konig made back-to-back 3s to spark a 21-4 run that spanned the quarters to give the Wolfpack a 54-44 advantage with 7:10 left in the fourth. Cunane added seven points during the stretch. The Wolverines pulled to 60-55 but didn't get closer.

Student Brought Gun to Farmington High School: Police
Published December 13, 2021 • Updated on December 13, 2021 at 11:25 pm
Police have arrested a 14-year-old Farmington High School student accused of bringing a gun onto school grounds on December 3.
Police learned about the incident after investigating an alleged threat to the school last week. Officers determined the threat was not credible, but word of the investigation prompted a student to come forward Tuesday to report the incident about a gun being on school grounds the Friday before.
On Monday, police arrested the 14-year-old student accused of having the weapon at school. That student had not been back at school since December 6, police said.
Students and parents gathered at the high school Monday night to get some answers about what has been going on. At a forum, leaders commended a student who saw something concerning and said something, and they hope others do the same.
"The email alone is enough to scare any parent, something is going on," said Aaron Engel of Farmington.
Community members voiced their concerns at the forum.
"Just not very happy with how the district is handling it and the lack of transparency. It's led to a lot of rumors. A lot of scared students. Anxious parents. And we have no idea how to reassure our kids," said Lisa Humbarger of Farmington.
The school district says there are limits on what it can say and when as it follows laws and makes sure not to compromise the ongoing police investigation.
"All of us want to communicate with all of you as soon as possible," said Farmington Superintendent Kathleen Greider.
The student is charged with illegal possession of a weapon on school grounds, carrying a pistol without a permit, illegal possession of a weapon in a motor vehicle, and risk of injury to a minor.
Police said there were no threats of gun violence related to the incident.
Officials said they're upping their patrols at schools in town.

Q: Java import packages understanding i'm learning Java for one year now and this question is confusing me.
At the moment i'm working with Java Swing and i want to know why i have to write the line
import java.awt.event.*;

when i want to use the actionListener even when i've already imported the whole awt package before :/
import java.awt.*

why do i have to tell the compiler to import a Sub-package (is it the right name?), for instance the event package, when i already imported everything under the awt package?
Thanks alot!

A: Because each package is separate. They don't have a parent-sub relationship.
import java.awt;

doesn't mean that java.awt.event is imported.

According to a feature in the upcoming issue of PSM3 magazine in the UK, early specs of the PS4 show that the platform is looking to be a more powerful machine than the next-gen Xbox console. PSM3 sister publication Xbox World also suggests that PS4 will have a more powerful processor, but added Microsoft has built the next Xbox with "utility and innovation" in mind, rather than raw power.
The magazines also suggest that the next Xbox will likely be ready for the 2013 holiday season, with the PS4 coming out only a few months later.
Hopefully we'll get the full story this spring, as it's been reported that both Sony and Microsoft will unveil their new platforms at E3 2012.

The Fall of the Kings with Ellen Kushner (2002)
This book is set in the same world as Swordspoint, about two generations later. The story begins at the University, where Basil St Cloud is a young Doctor of History at the University. It is there that he meets Theron Campion, son of the Mad Duke and heir to Tremontaine.
I liked this book far less than I liked Swordspoint, which means that it's still a good book, although not a great book. What kept it from being great is that I just didn't care as much about the main characters as I did in Swordspoint. I was fond of some of the secondary characters, especially Justis, but I just couldn't get really attached to the main characters. I almost felt as if the author(s) knew that she (they) was (were) going to do bad things to some of the characters, and so didn't want to get too attached, so that she (they) could go through with it.
The other problem I had was that there was just too much sex for my tastes. Sure it may necessary to describe the sexual relationship between characters, because of the relationship between Kings and Wizards in history; I just don't care to read about all the details. Of course it wasn't as bad as I'm making it sound, I just would have preferred more detailed sword fights and fewer detailed sex scenes. (Which right there tells you plenty about me I suppose.)
Tied in, is the fact that when some of the characters made claims of being in love, I just didn't believe it. Lust I could believe. Obsession I could believe. But love? The story would have been far stronger if I could have believed it was a love story. I just didn't.
Oddly enough, I enjoyed the bits about research and scholarship, but then I do work in academia, so that shouldn't come as a huge surprise I suppose.
But, all in all, the book had political intrigue, romantic intrigue, and a fantastic plot, so the it is is well worth reading, despite my misgivings.

Afterword: Death by Tori Amos
It took me several months to read this book, not because it was boring, but because I was carrying it back and forth to work to read at lunch, or if I had to go somewhere for an appointment. This means that as I finished the last story in the book, I could barely remember the first story in the book.
I liked B.W. Clough's The Birth Day, a story of the beginning of an idea. I also liked Robert Rodi's An Extra Smidgen of Eternity, which is the second of two stories about Wanda from A Game of You. I liked A Bone Dry Place by Karen Haber, because it had several of the Endless interacting, although the story that tied everything together confused me, even on a second read. One of my favorite stories was Nancy A. Collin's The Mender of Broken Dreams. I quite liked the idea of the creatures of the realm of dream wondering about themselves. I of course loved Steven Brust's Valosag and Elet, but then I tend to love everything that Steven Brust writes, so you'll have to consider the source. One of the stories merits is that it is written as a folktale, and since I love folktales, that made it all the more endearing.
The horror tales were my least favorite. Will Shetterly's Splatter was set during The Doll's House collection in the Collectors, one of the more gruesome tales. The Writer's Child by Tad Williams is disturbing, although everything is alright in the end. But I don't particularly care for horror, so you'd best not take my opinion if you like it yourself. The stories were well written, but they were not anything that I particularly enjoy so take that as you will.
There was so much more that I wanted to say about these stories, but it's been over a month since I finished the collection, so I best say this for now, lest I forget everything.
These were stories written in the world of the Sandman, but they were not written by Neil Gaiman. If you liked Sandman and like short stories, then you'll like this collection. But if you are looking for more of Neil Gaiman's writing, or know little or nothing of The Sandman, then this collection is probably not for you.

The Essential Bordertown (1998) edited by Terri Windling & Delia Sherman
The Essential Bordertown is a collection of short stories set in Bordertown, the land between our world and Faerie. The stories are written with a teenage audiences in mind, with primarily teenage characters, and parts of a "traveler's guide" appearing before each chapter.
Bordertown strikes me as a cross between Sanctuary of Thieves' World and the world created by Charles de Lint. It's the area where faerie and the world of humans meets, and it's a strange place where neither magic or technology works properly, and although there are some places where elves and humans meet and get along, there are roving gangs of elves and humans who rule different parts of town, and woe to the opposite race who wanders into their territory.

How Shannaro Tolkinson Lost And Found His Heart - FelicitySavage
Some of my favorite authors contributed to this anthology: Charles de Lint, Steven Brust, Ellen Kushner. I particularly liked Charles de Lint's story "May This Be Your Last Sorrow", but then I think that he has his own magic in that he is able to write the most wonderful short stories.
Although all the stories in this anthology were good, I did like some more than others. As I mentioned, I particularly enjoyed Charles de Lint's "May this Be Your Last Sorrow". I also very much liked Carloline Stevermer's story "Rag", whose characters were adults, but they were adults deal with the friendships of childhood and adolescence. The story "Half Life" by Donnard Sturgis was particularly good–I had no idea where the story was going, and was pleased with how it ended.And Delia Sherman's story "Socks" was also particularly good, although there was much that was unresolved.
As a whole, the anthology was pretty good. Unlike Thieves World the authors didn't write each others characters, but they did have a shared world, which did tie the stories together, making it something more than a simple anthology.
I would love to read the original Borderland anthologies, however, they're out of print and I'll have to find them used if I want them. But I do recommend The Essential Bordertown to anyone who likes antholgies or any fan of the Charles de Lint.

A Wolf at the Door (2000) edited by Ellen Datlow & Terri Windling
I love folk tales and fairy tales, and I love the idea of stories that have been told and retold, and then finally captured on paper. The problem of course, is finding an author who is good at translating stories from an oral tradition into something that works well written.
There's something wonderful about a well-told short story, and I think that the best short stories in the world are folk and fairy tales.
Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling are very good at finding authors who can take these stories and retell them, and they always put together wonderful anthologies. They brought together thirteen writers for this collection of retold fairy tales.
Although one or two of the stories I found to be just okay, others were nothing short of excellent. It also seems as if the stories were I liked the best were towards the end of the book. For me the collection started out okay, and then got better and better the more I read.
Delia Sherman's story, The Months of Manhattan is a retelling of one of my favorite folk tales, and although the moral remains the same--always try to have something nice to say--I was somewhat disappointed by the change in the ending. I thought that Janeen Webb's Ali Baba and the Forty Aliens did a better job modifying a familiar story without making it a bit too neat and pat. And considering some of the other stories in this collection, I'm not quite certain why the The Months of Manhattan ended the way it did.
Not that I think the purpose of these stories is necessarily to scare us, as much as it is to make us pay attention to what is happening around us.

The Faery Reel: Tales from the Twilight Realm (2004)edited by Ellen Datlow & Terri Windling
Any time I see a fantasy anthology edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling, I'll often as not pick it up, because I know that it's going to be good. Usually very good. This volume however, has the added bonus of poems by both Charles de Lint and Neil Gaiman.
Needless to say I snatched it up--even thought it was in hardback--when I came across it.
These faery tales are based not upon the fairies of Disney but upon the faery of folktales. As they say in the introduction:
In this book about our good neighbors, we've asked a number of our favorite writers to travel into the Twilight Realm (an ancient name for the land of Faerie) and to bring back stories of faeries and the hapless mortals who cross their path. "No butterfly-winged sprites," we pleaded. "Read the old folktales, journey farther afield, find some of the less explored paths through the Realm.
It would be hard for me not to love this book.
Catnyp by Delia Sherman I quite liked; it reminded me a bit of a Charles de Lint story. In Catnyp, Faerie exists parallel to our world, and includes a New York Public Library that reminds me a bit of Terry Pratchett's library, only without the L-Space.
All in all an excellent anthology. But I hardly expected anything less.
The Coyote Road: Trickster Tales (2007) edited by Ellen Datlow & Terri Windling
I love short stories. Aside from collections by Charles de Lint, I best love anthologies by Ellen Datlow & Terri Windling best. Their books are like comfort food, and I save them up for when I'm sick or feeling low.
In the same vein as The Green Man and The Faerie Reel,Datlow and Windling have this time collected stories about tricksters,and they've got some of my favorite authors in this collection: Charlesde Lint, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Ellen Kushner. As usual, they manage tocollect stories by some of my favorite story tellers.
Besides those there, all the stories in this collection were good,and most were excellent. I especially enjoyed "The Fiddler of BayouTeche" by Delia Sherman, which is somewhat of a deal with the devilstory, except it's not really the devil, though for all he does, he mayas well be acting in the devil's stead.
If like short story collections, or trickster tales, then you will want to read The Coyote Road.It has stories from many of my favorite writers, and as with all theircollections, I was delighted to discover new authors for whom I'll beon the lookout.

The Way of the Wizard (2010) edited by John Joseph Adams
I love anthologies. They give me an escape in bite size pieces that won't keep me up past my bed time on a work night, and they also often a wonderful introduction to authors I have not read previously.
This anthology focuses upon wizards of all sorts, doing wizardly things, though not very many evil wizards.
Delia Sherman's story was "Wizard's Apprentice" was another story I'd read previously, but enjoyed just as well the second time through. I like how I thought it was going in one direction, but it then veered off someplace else completely. Also, what's not to like about an evil wizard running a used book store?
There were multiple stories I didn't care for, but on the whole, I found it a good and enjoyable collection. After all, I don't have to read the stories I don't like.

Naked City (2011) edited by Ellen Datlow
This collection of urban fantasy stories has several of my favorite authors, so it was a no-brainer to get. The bad thing is that I've been reading this collection for several months, so I now have no idea what the stories at the start of the anthology were about, which is dangerous, because it means I may end up accidentally rereading several of them.
Delia Sherman's story was next, "How the Pooka Came to New York City." It's 1855 and tells how a pooka came to NY with a human, Liam O'Casey.
Although there were several stories I didn't care for, I believe that was more a matter of personal taste than quality. And the stories I did like, I liked very much.

Teeth: Vampire Tales (2011) edited by Ellen Datlow & Terri Windling
This is an Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling anthology, so as always, there are fascinating bits of folklore.
Rice, not garlic, was the most effective means of keeping Chinese vampires at bay, for they had a strange compulsion to count. Throwing rice at the ghost compelled it to stop; it would not move again until each grain was counted.
"Flying" by Delia Sherman was another favorite story. A young trapeze artist and her parents have to stop touring when she develops Leukemia, but Lenka misses the circus and wants more than anything to return.
As expected, this was a very good anthology, and although I didn't like the horror or the poetry, that's a failing of mine, not the anthology.
Under My Hat: Tales from the Cauldron (2012) edited by Jonathan Strahan
This is a lovely YA anthology, with some amazing stories by some of my favorite authors. I didn't love all the stories, but none of them were bad. The theme is young witches coming of age, but the stories are far greater than that.
"The Witch in the Wood" by Delia Sherman tells of a young woman meeting her true love, and how she breaks his enchantment.

Instead it was a two-plus year slog that I finally forced myself to finish.
Queen Victoria's Book of Spells by Delia Sherman is the story of an historical researcher looking for new material on the beloved queen, when she discovers hidden material under Victoria's childhood sleep book.
From the moment her father, the Duke of Kent, died, when Victoria was eight months old, to the moment she became queen of England at eighteen, her mother and Sir John Conroy, her mother's treasurer and secretary, oversaw every aspect of her life. They developed something they called the Kensington System, after the palace King George IV had given them to live in, designed to keep the young princess safe from infection, accident, and making her own decisions.

With a start like that, how can you resist?
All in all this is a marvelous collection, that I highly recommend.

03/08/2018 · by SteveRicketts	· in Diary of a retired Rugby League Journalist.	·
Attend the funeral of my former Murwillumbah Brothers' teammate, Kerry Twohill, at Tweed Heads. Father Paul McDonald, ex Murwillumbah, now based at Kingscliff, says Mass. Catch up with so many people from my youth, including the Ryan brothers, Peter and Mick; and of course, the Nunan brothers (three of the four anyway), twins, Geoff and Allan and the youngest, Mick. Kerry Twohill's first marriage was to their sister, Margaret.
I am 'Linked-In' with former Great Britain and Wales rugby league international, Eddie Cunningham, who is now a mental health worker in Warrington, England. I saw Eddie play for Wales against France at Naughton Park, Widnes in January, 1978.
TUESDAY, JULY 5.
Panic when I see dress regulations for 'League Nation'. You are required to wear a sports coat!! I don't own one, so off to David Jones at Chermside, I go. I get to Channel 9 at the time specified, but there is so much time to kill before we actually have to get in front of the cameras. And, would you believe it, my new (blue check) coat is not suitable for television, so I have to wear one from their wardrobe, a drab brown number, which my wife hates. Justin Hodges and Scott Prince are on the panel with me, and a special guest is Josh Hoffman.
Learn of the death of former top sports radio guy, Rod Tiley, in Perth, after a long battle with cancer. He worked (briefly) at 2MW at Murwillumbah when I was a young journalist and local footy player.
WEDNESDAY JULY 6
'Men of League' lunch at Broncos, where I interview former dual international rugby star, Michael O'Connor. 'Snoz' is very good, but quietly spoken, and some of the older guests struggle to hear. Michael says the best backline he played in – either code – was the 1986 Kangaroos outfit. It was: Halves: Peter Sterling, Wally Lewis; centres, Brett Kenny, Gene Miles' wingers: Dale Shearer, Michael O'Connor. Fullback, Garry Jack. The great Mal Meninga was a reserve. I covered that tour for the Brisbane Telegraph, and some of the football played was a joy to behold.
Ayr (North Queensland product) and former Norths' player, Rick Bradford recalls my Norths' days. He has a great memory, because I did not set the world on fire.
Today I submit my preferences in a Quest Newspapers promotion to pick a State of Origin side, based on their old Brisbane clubs.
Greyhound racing has been banned in New South Wales. Have only been to the dogs once – back in the glory days of greyhound racing at the Gabba.
At Brothers Leagues I attend a farewell for Henry Michael de Silva (better known as 'China', even though he has Sri Lankan heritage), who is moving back to Victoria. He will be missed by his Brisbane mates, especially Keith 'Mickey' Rooney.
One of Marie's Irish relatives (through marriage) has been bashed by 'hit men', over land dramas in County Tipperary. Heavy stuff.
SATURDAY, JULY 9
Babysit our grandson, Ethan. He is such a delight. Take him for a walk around the neighborhood. All the trees have gone from recently sold house at corner of Uxbridge and Sellheim Streets. It was a mini-rainforest. Such a shame.
Former Murwillumbah High schoolmate, Barbara Jean Merrotsy (nee Gray) passes away today. She was an assistant at Grogan and McCarthy, where I had my dental work done. I took Barbara out on one occasion. A lovely, tall lass. Such a shock to hear of her death.
Family dinner tonight – slow cooked lamb – and excellent conversation.
Listen to Macca on ABC. He talks about Walt Disney's Cliff Edwards and his rendition of 'When You Wish Upon a Star', a song I loved as a kid. Macca talks about his love of cabbage. I telephone to tell him a cabbage story, but can't get through. I'm sure he would have loved it!! In 1966, when the Great Britain rugby league team toured Australia, they played North Coast at Kempsey. Afterwards they were given a mayoral reception, and the meal included cabbage. One of the British forwards, in a broad Lancashire accent, bellowed: "Cabbage! Cabbage! Pig food. I won't be eating that." Bloody fussy Poms! In England, our players had a similar reaction to being served up cucumber sandwiches. I was told the cabbage story by larger than life Lismore identity, Mick Davis Snr., who played for North Coast against the Poms on that day in 1966.
Watch Tour de France, and there is snow in Andorra. Marie and I know all about that. We had to turn around when our battered old Dutch Army Kombi Van couldn't make it over the border. Chains on the tyres might have helped, Stephen.
On that same trip we saw a bullfight in Barcelona, where it is now banned, but not in other parts of Spain. This week there has been a bullfighter killed in rural Spain, during a live telecast.

Dundee comic book artist's mural on show as revamped city cinema officially reopens

The Odeon in Douglas has reopened.
A Dundee comic book artist's mural celebrating the city has gone on display inside a revamped local cinema.
Work to transform the Odeon in Douglas has been completed after four months spent turning it into a luxury venue complete with a bar and a high-tech new screen.
Anna Morozova and her mural.
A mural by Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design graduate Anna Morozova, which was created in collaboration with local residents, has taken centre-stage in the cinema.
Inspiration for the work included city landmarks and local legends such as the tale of the Dundee Dragon and the Nine Maidens.
Ms Morozova said the artwork celebrates the city's heritage, including its ties to the comic book industry.
Inside the new-look cinema.
The cinema's new bar.
She added: "The most important part was the contribution by the community. The public were asked what they'd like to see on it, what are the main things they think of when it comes to Dundee?
"It took about two weeks. It was all happening in the cinema with the audiences. People were able to see it from start to finish.
"I've not heard a single negative comment. People have recognised the references which to me is a good sign. People who are walking past are immediately making connections."
With the Odeon revamp complete, a high-tech, 45ft-wide iSense screen is now showing films in ultra-high definition at the cinema; with hundreds of new reclining seats installed across its 10 screens.
A wider range of alcohol is now available for cinema-goers at the movie theatre at the new Oscar's Bar.
Odeon Dundee's general manager Kim Thorne added: "We are all over the moon because it has been a long 16 weeks for the team and the guests.
"Everybody is delighted. It is completely different. I think really it is quite different from the old Odeon we had. This is far better."

Capitalists@Work: How long wil lthe boom last?
How long wil lthe boom last?
Predicting 9 of the last 3 recessions, as co-writer Blue Eyes often rightly criticises me for, it s mugs game. Even the informed writers here knew the 2008 crash was coming, but how deep and when eluded everyone - markets are just not predictable.
1. Thatcher and Major oversaw a huge strengthening of the economy from is weakest point which was probably around 1982/3 in terms of the post baby boomer period.
2. The 1990 recession slowed growth in share prices from 300% to 25% until around 1995. Although there is a clear upturn from 1993.
3. From 1995 the dotcom bubble really distorted the picture until the crash of late 2000/2001, which also cross over with 911. A min-recession took place in the real economy in the Tech and Travel and Hospitality sectors, but the rest of the country survived relatively unscathed - stock prices took a big dip as the effects of the dotcom bubble wore off. The indices returning to its pre-1997 levels.
4. Then we have the disastrous leverage boom of 2003-2007. How so much damage could be done so quickly is frightening. Still, stock prices bounceback within 18 months and have been steady ever since.
5. However, since 1999 there has been zero real growth in the FTSE, even allowing for the changes in constituents, the index has shown little growth.
6. Reflecting the UK's wider productivity issues remarkably well, the indices has been suffering from slow growth since 2011 - 4 years now of slow chugging up.
So what next? Well from 1984 it took until 1987 for a crash and then the overall recovery too to around 1993. This boom then last until 2001. So a 4 year expansion, then a 7 year recovery period, followed by a 7 year boom.
Then we have the dotcom crash, a 3 year downturn then another 4 year boom. Then a huge crash followed by a weaker 7 year recovery period.
On balance, this means we are likely due a 3-4 year boom phase before the next crash. Given property cycles are often cited as 18 years - then this would also match with the next big bust not due to the early 2020's in theory.
What seems unlikely now from a historical context is a huge recession in the next few years. It maybe that with technology changes and volume of interactions that phases are getting shorter - but still, its hard to be a bear even now.
Of course, event dear boy, events - an EU Grexit or Brexit or the final realisation of the massive Chinese bubble in printed money and over-investment can jinx historical moves. But then again they always could.
There are worse doom-mongers, to be fair!
Tony Blair once said "I don't make predictions; I never have, and I never will."
The UK economy is weird. We seem to be awesome at selling services to overseas customers, both by selling to customers overseas and by bringing customers here to spend their money. Chinese people come to London to buy tat made in China. I don't really get it. But I am glad we are good at it.
In this context GDP and trade figures are a nonsense, as are averages such as property prices and wages and productivity. London/the SE feels like it is overheating: everything is overcrowded, restaurants are full and evermore expensive, people are tripping over themselves to do/go to whatever is new new new.
I have no idea what is happening in the rest of the country.
A recovery need not end in a bubble and bust, if some of the needed structural reforms are made, such as allowing more housing and infrastructure to be built, sorting out the pension and welfare systems, encouraging invesment over consumer spending.
I think thing are genuinely different this time.
The entire UK stock market pretty much behaves like a long dated gilt.
High volatility (by that I mean changes > +/- 10% over a week) will not happen until US interest rates increase rapidly .
Not to mention how much *building* is going on in London!
first you post a FTSE 100 chart and refer to it as a FTSE all share chart, when the latter would include small caps and dividend income, whereas the former would not.
Then you use it to re-write modern economic history.
But you finally absolve yourself by finally accepting that land price cycles are about 18 years in length.
Personally I'm thinking about going long the NASDAQ, but paying the premium for a guaranteed stop loss, hoping for a 'blow off' phase of that bubble.
I'm sure I heard a great financial leader say that.
6. Last 4 years annualised returns of 8.59% fo FTSE and 9.5% for All share -not too shabby against cash returns of 0.5%.
You forgot QE in your analysis and most of that cash seems to have fueled an asset boom especially house prices in London and the SE (and other major cities worldwide)so it really is a bit different this time.
I presume that at some point interest rates will rise; I can envisage that putting a lot of BTL landlords under pressure and forcing them to dump their property p.d.q. Cue collapse of house prices, severe bust.
I suppose the 'independent' bank of England won't willingly do it, as no politician wants it on his watch.
"cash returns of 0.5%": not for the personal investor, at least not this one.
SW - I really doubt that, rents can go up. The demand for preoprty in the South East is so far aherad of supply it is sickening. Even the massive bust in 2008/9 lasted less than 1 year in London - in the main due to the supply issues. Resi here thought, commercial took a lot longer to recover, nearly 3 years.
If rents can go up, why haven't they gone up already? It should be fairly low-risk if demand outstrips supply.
1. Property boom/bust - this has been wholly engineered to save over-indebeted boomers and the banks they borrowed from. If you aretn selling property into this you are a mug. Thats why all the action in private pension funds is selling commercial property to the pension fund to release cash. This is not a healthy sign; the pension funds have been denuded of cash over the last few years and now the remaining funds are being released by selling the business to the pension fund. The owner gets cash the pension fund gets an insolvent business/warehouse in Exeter.
NHS cuts will require the bed-wetters to sell their properties, kill their mortgages and pay for morphine. So far they arent doing that. Instead they are getting into BTL and strangling their cash. Good luck selling that 2 bed flat when you need suddenly need chemotherapy; I'm sure the buyer ('Pensioners Advice Helpline' or some such) will be sympathetic.
2. This tech boom is very, very different. It isnt about websites and dotcom names its about automation and data aggregation. It will demonstrably and definitively change things at an unprecedented rate; the iPad was only released in 2010.
In 2.5 years we will develop, market, adapt, use and be dependent on a technology we can only imagine. Anyone predicting economic outcomes (that involve growth) in this environment is a mug.

Roses and Rot
By Kat Howard
Narrated by Madeleine Maby / 9 hours 55 minutes
Imogen and her sister Marin escape their cruel mother to attend a prestigious artists' retreat, but soon learn that living in a fairy tale requires sacrifices, whether it be art or love in this critically acclaimed debut novel from "a remarkable young writer" (Neil Gaiman, American Gods).
What would you sacrifice for everything you ever dreamed of?
Imogen has grown up reading fairy tales about mothers who die and make way for cruel stepmothers. As a child, she used to lie in bed wishing that her life would become one of these tragic fairy tales because she couldn't imagine how a stepmother could be worse than her mother now. As adults, Imogen and her sister Marin are accepted to an elite post-grad arts program—Imogen as a writer and Marin as a dancer. Soon enough, though, they realize that there's more to the school than meets the eye. Imogen might be living in the fairy tale she's dreamed about as a child, but it's one that will pit her against Marin if she decides to escape her past to find her heart's desire.

Here I am in Maine, with my muse - the island where the mountains meet the sea, and instead of stepping out into the garden, I chose to make a drawing of some other textile and some other beads. I am with the 'font' of beads and textiles, when with my mother. I realise that by focusing on her beads I am appropriating her colours too. Or are these our colours?
It has been so sunny that we've been all hours in the garden: weeding, mulching, raking - perhaps that's why I chose to zero in on the beads? The garden is predominately green, brown and grey, perfect for mark making, but not so interesting for me and my colour studies. I will go out before I return to England, though, perhaps tomorrow!

Loyns
Last name: Loyns
This unusual surname, now widespread in Norfolk, is of early medieval English origin, and is a patronymic form of the name Loyne or Lowne, itself coming from the Middle English male given name "Lovin", ultimately from the Olde English pre 7th Century "Leofhun", a compound of the elements "leof", dear, beloved, and "hun", bear cub. Pre 7th Century Anglo-Saxon and Old Norse personal names were usually distinct compounds, whose elements were often associated with the Gods of Fire, Water and War, or composed of disparate elements. On May 28th 1556, Hew, son of John Lowne, was christened at Marsham, Norfolk, and on February 20th 1596, the christening of Elizabeth Lownes, an infant, took place at St. Bride's, Fleet Street, London. The final "s" on the name indicates the genitive, and is a reduced form of "son of". In the modern idiom patronymics of Lowne include: Lownes, Lowndes, Loynes, Loines, Loins and Loyns. On May 11th 1655, Rose Loynes and Thomas Church were married at St. Giles', Norwich, Norfolk, and on November 4th 1849, Ann, daughter of John and Ann Loynes, was christened at Fylingdales, Yorkshire. A Coat of Arms granted to the family is a shield divided quarterly gold and black with a red cinquefoil on the first and fourth quarters, the Crest being a hydra proper. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Jone Loynes, which was dated February 12th 1585, marriage to Francis Goodwin, at Hemblington, Yorkshire, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1, known as "Good Queen Bess", 1558 - 1603. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

NRK1 (fram till 1995 enbart NRK) är Norges första tv-kanal. Sändningarna inleddes den 20 augusti 1960.

Förutom att sända program som spelas in i Norge, sänder kanalen program från bland annat övriga nordiska länder (till exempel genom Nordvision-samarbetet), USA, Storbritannien, Australien, och Europa.  Utländska program och delar av norska program på andra språk sänds med norska undertexter.

Under vardagar sänder kanalen nyheter varje timme om dagarna. Klockan 19.00 och 21.00 sänds nyhetsprogrammet Dagsrevyen.

Namn och grafisk identitet
Kanalen hette officiellt NRK Fjernsynet fram till 1995, men kallades i dagligt tal bara NRK.

Den 1 januari 1996 bytte kanalen namn till NRK1 eftersom NRK2 lanserades samma år.

NRK1 har bytt ut sin grafiska identitet flera gånger genom sin historia, och den senaste omstruktureringen företogs i 2011. NRK1:s grafik är för det mesta i blått. NRK har alltid använt kanalvärdar i bild. NRK1 är den enda kanalen som fortsätter att göra så i Norge.

Marknadsandel
I januari 2020 hade NRK1 en marknadsandel på 37,1 procent och var den kanal i Norges som hade överlägset flest tittare.

China slams U.S. sanctions on Iran as cooperation agreement launched
Wang Yi
FILE PHOTO: Iran's flag pictured in March
Chinese diplomat and politician
SHANGHAI (Reuters) -China reaffirmed its opposition to unilateral sanctions by the United States against Iran as the Chinese and Iranian foreign ministers announced the launch of a 25-year cooperation agreement aimed at strengthening economic and political ties.
In a meeting on Friday in the city of Wuxi, in Jiangsu province, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi also backed efforts to revive a 2015 nuclear deal between major powers and Iran.
A summary of the meeting between Wang and Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian was posted on China's foreign ministry website on Saturday.
Wang, who is also State Councillor, said the U.S. bore primary responsibility for the ongoing difficulties with Iran, having unilaterally withdrawn from a 2015 nuclear deal between the major powers and Iran.
Under the terms of that deal, in return for the lifting of international sanctions, Iran would limit uranium enrichment activity, making it harder to develop nuclear arms - although Tehran denies having plans for nuclear weapons.
Wang said China would firmly support a resumption on negotiations on a nuclear pact.
But he said China firmly opposes unilateral sanctions against Iran, political manipulation through topics including human rights, and interference in the internal affairs of Iran and other regional countries.
The United States reimposed sanctions that badly damaged Iran's economy after withdrawing from the nuclear pact in 2018, saying the terms did not do enough to curb Iran's nuclear activities, ballistic missile program and regional influence.
A year later, Iran began to gradually breach the accord, rebuilding stockpiles of enriched uranium, refining it to higher fissile purity and installing advanced centrifuges to speed up output.
China and Iran, both subject to U.S. sanctions, signed the 25-year cooperation agreement last March, bringing Iran into China' Belt and Road Initiative, a multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure scheme intended to stretch from East Asia to Europe.
The project aims to significantly expand China's economic and political influence, and has raised concerns in the United States and elsewhere.
The foreign ministry summary said the agreement would deepen Sino-Iranian cooperation in areas including energy, infrastructure, agriculture, health care and culture, as well as cyber security and cooperation with other countries.
Iran and the U.S. remain locked in talks over whether a compromise can be found to renew the deal and dispel fears of a wider Middle East War. A source close to negotiations said on Friday that many issues remain unresolved.
Wang, who earlier in the week met with several counterparts from Gulf Arab countries concerned about the potential threat from Iran, also said China hopes to set up a dialogue mechanism with Gulf countries to discuss regional security issues.

China plays discreet but critical role in Iran nuclear negotiations
As talks in Vienna to revive the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal proceed in fits and starts, China is trying to position itself as a key player in the region, and for good cause: It is in Beijing's interest to push for the lifting of US sanctions on Iran, with which it has signed a historic bilateral partnership.

Q: Why do I get less securities than request in RefData? I am requesting RefData from Bloomberg API via c#.
I create a list of 912 securities.
But I get the final "RESPONSE" message after only 92.
Why might that be?

A: Bloomberg will split up responses for large requests so that each PARTIAL_RESPONSE event will contain data for multiple securities. Currently, it looks like each event will contain data for up to 10 securities, but I would not rely on that number staying the same as I seem to remember a few years ago it was 8.

Joe Biden's Top Ten Tax Hikes
Tom Hebert
Biden has proposed raising taxes on American businesses, workers, and families. Biden's plan would also claw back all the progress President Trump and Congressional Republicans have made in reforming the tax code for the benefit of all Americans.
In compiling this list, ATR used Biden's estimate for revenue raised for each new provision. All told, Biden says his tax hikes would raise $3.42 trillion over the next decade.
A recent study from the left-wing Tax Policy Center estimates that the Biden tax plan would raise taxes on Americans by $4 trillion over the next decade.
The Penn Wharton Business Model projects that Biden's tax hikes would raise between $2.3 trillion (including macroeconomic effects) and $2.6 trillion (excluding macroeconomic effects), $1 trillion less Biden's estimate.
Either way, none of these estimates would come close to raising the $4.8 trillion Biden needs to enact his wishlist of liberal policies.
Joe Biden fashions himself a moderate Democrat, but his tax plan is firmly in line with the radical left. Here are Biden's tax increases.
1. Tax capital gains as ordinary income
If elected, Biden would tax capital gains as ordinary income. Currently, the capital gains rate is 20 percent. Biden has said that he would nearly double the rate to 39.6 percent.
Capital gains are already taxed twice under the current system –– the capital gains tax is levied on income that has already been subjected to the individual income tax and is then reinvested in the economy. This investment spurs job creation, economic growth, and economic productivity.
In fact, taxing capital gains as ordinary income would decrease GDP by more than 3 percent over the long term and cost 700,000 jobs according to the Tax Foundation. In contrast, eliminating the double taxation of capital gains would increase household income across the board by an average of 3.8 percent, would lead to 2.7 percent higher GDP, and would create more than 500,000 new jobs.
This is an $800 billion tax hike over the next decade.
2. Raise the corporate tax rate
Biden has repeatedly stated that he wants a full repeal of the Trump Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which would raise the corporate tax rate to 35 percent.
On other occasions, Biden has stated that he would raise the corporate tax rate to 28 percent, a drastic increase from the 21 percent corporate tax rate established under the Trump tax cuts.
Even if he "only" raised it to 28 percent, the higher Biden corporate rate would be levied on top of the average state corporate rate of 4 to 5 percent, giving the U.S. a higher rate than the United Kingdom (19 percent), China (25 percent), Canada (26.8 percent), and Ireland (12.5 percent). It would also impose a tax rate higher than the current combined corporate rate across the 36 member Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation (OECD), which is currently 23.7 percent.
An increase in the corporate tax rate would also directly raise the cost of utility bills in all 50 states. In contrast, the Trump 21 percent corporate rate has unleashed American competitiveness at home and abroad, and has directly led to economic growth and job creation.
Raising the corporate rate to 28 percent would be a $730 billion tax hike over the next decade.
3. Death tax increase
Under current law, when an individual dies and bequeaths property to an heir, the property's cost basis receives a "step-up" to its fair market value at the time of the original owner's death.
Stepped-up basis protects the new owner from double taxation by eliminating the capital gains liability for any appreciation in value that occurred during the previous owner's lifetime. Without stepped-up basis, the new owner would pay capital gains tax on accumulated value during the original owner's life on top of the death tax.
Biden would eliminate stepped-up basis, exposing taxpayers to double taxation and needless compliance costs.
This is a $440 billion tax hike over the next decade.
4. 15 percent corporate minimum tax
Biden has proposed a "minimum book tax" of 15 percent on corporations that generate $100 million or more in revenue. This tax would essentially function as an Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) for firms, and would inject needless complexity and confusion into the tax system.
As such, the new Biden book tax would prevent American companies from using lawful deductions and credits upheld by bipartisan majorities in Congress and the Obama Administration.
What Biden fails to realize is that companies can end up with a federal corporate tax bill of zero by using a lawful deductions and credits routinely upheld and extended by bipartisan Congressional majorities. This is not tax evasion –– these provisions, like the research and development credit, are vital for stimulating investment in the economy and American workers.
The ironic twist here is that President Obama supported many of the same deductions and credits Biden now rails against.
5. 21 percent tax on overseas income
The Trump Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted several new provisions designed to move the U.S. closer to a territorial system of taxation by reducing the double taxation of American businesses and allowing trillions of dollars in previously stranded foreign income to be repatriated into our economy.
One of these provisions, Global Intangible Low Income Tax (GILTI), was designed to counteract base erosion.
Biden would double this tax to 21 percent, taxing businesses on income that has already been taxed overseas. Raising taxes on overseas income in this fashion further undermines the TCJA's territorial system and moves the U.S. once again towards a worldwide system of taxation.
6. Impose a 28 percent cap on the value of itemized deductions
Biden revives an Obama-era idea to cap the value of itemized deductions at 28 percent, a move that would effectively eliminate tax deductions for mortgage interest, charitable contributions, out-of-pocket medical expenses, and HSA contributions, among others.
7. Sanctions for "tax avoidance"
Biden would impose sanctions on places like Ireland, the Netherlands, the Cayman Islands, and Bermuda for "tax avoidance." It is unclear how Biden would actually implement this. he
8. Raising the top income tax rate to 39.6 percent
Biden would increase the top tax bracket from 37 percent to 39.6 percent.
This is part of Biden's ultimate plan to repeal the Trump tax cuts in full. If Biden got his way,
A family of four earning the median income of $73,000 would see a $2,000 tax increase.
A single parent (with one child) making $41,000 would see a $1,300 tax increase.
Millions of low and middle-income households would be stuck paying the Obamacare individual mandate tax.
Taxes would rise in every state and every congressional district.
Millions of households would see their child tax credit cut in half.
Millions of households would see their standard deduction cut in half.
Raising the top tax rate is a $90 billion tax hike over the next decade.
9. Close real estate "loopholes"
Biden would repeal several tax provisions used by real estate.
One of these provisions, like-kind exchanges, exists under Section 1031 of the tax code to promote investment. This allows an investor to defer paying taxes on certain assets when they use those earnings to invest in another, similar asset. This can be done again and again until the investor ultimately cashes out and protects against a lock out effect that would otherwise discourage investment.
Section 1031 is a vital and commonsense provision. Because there is a continuity of investment from any 1031 eligible transaction, there is no reason to arbitrarily punish reallocation of resources. If anything, this provision should be expanded so all capital gains are treated the same as like-kind exchanges.
This is a $70 billion tax hike over the next decade.
10. Energy tax hikes
Biden supports a longheld left-wing priority of eliminating several deductions for fossil fuel companies.
Biden mischaracterizes standard cost recovery practices employed by oil and natural gas producers as subsidies. Namely, Biden would eliminate expensing of exploration costs, a move that would make it even more costly for oil and natural gas companies to create energy.
The Trump Tax Cuts and Jobs Act allowed all businesses to fully deduct the cost of new investments in the year they were purchased instead of deducting the cost gradually over several years. This drastically decreased tax complexity for businesses and incentivized more capital to flow into the American economy.
Biden would prevent fossil fuel companies from fully expensing their assets solely to serve the far-left's climate religion.
Eliminating full-business expensing for fossil fuel companies would result in higher prices at the pump, increased utility bills, and fewer American energy jobs as companies flee the U.S. to avoid these industry-crippling tax hikes.


Two staff members from Archer Window Cleaning were just about to start their workday in Liverpool at 8am on 21st December 2018 when they heard a woman's screams coming from nearby.
Without a thought for their own safety, they rushed to see what the noise was and found a man attacking a woman who was on her way to work.
The two window cleaners stepped in and chased off the attacker, saving the woman from what would have been a serious assault.
Police were called, and an investigation is currently underway.
For legal reasons, we are unable to name the two heroes or the woman who was attacked, as the Police investigation is still ongoing.
All this might have gone unnoticed until the Manager of the shop at which the woman worked wrote to Chris Oakes, Managing Director of Archer Window Cleaning to express her thanks.
The unnamed victim has since written to Mr Oakes expressing her appreciation, insisting that she believes things could have ended very differently had it not been for the two heroes intervention.
The Police are continuing to investigate this matter.

Odysseus loses several crewmen to the six-headed monster Scylla, and faces numerous dangerous threats in his journey. This is probably the best bad movie ever. It was a film that should have been 30 minutes long, but instead was filled with boring, dragged out sequences and black screens. He fights his enemies bravely and honors the gods. I don't want to sound shallow by emphasizing that aspect of the epic because I do understand and appreciate the subtler nuances and motifs of Homer's poem.
The exteriors of this luxurious motion picture were filmed on the Mediterranean coast and islands described in Homer's Odyssey. This is the core message. Overall, this is a long yet enjoyable movie for the entire family keeping in mind that some scenes are quite violent which features several very tender yet adult scenes of love, compassion, passion, anger, and vengeance. In the first, prehistoric apes, confronted by a mysterious black monolith, teach themselves that bones can be used as weapons, and thus discover their first tools. Kubrick's film is almost unique in enhancing the music by its association with his images.
You can watch this terrible movie online for free at Netflix. As the popular series for younger readers attests, kids are fascinated by Greek tales of gods, monsters, and heroes, and The Odyssey is the original Olympian tale. I have always felt that the smooth artificial surfaces and right angles of the monolith, which was obviously made by intelligent beings, triggered the realization in an ape brain that intelligence could be used to shape the objects of the world. After fighting in the Trojan War , Odysseus spends years trying to return home to Itaka. But they made a great job selecting the most important parts of the poem and representing them. I am a big fan of fantasy movies and more if it concerns mythologic episodes.
Nearly 30 years after it was made, it has not dated in any important detail, and although special effects have become more versatile in the computer age, Trumbull's work remains completely convincing -- more convincing, perhaps, than more sophisticated effects in later films, because it looks more plausible, more like documentary footage than like elements in a story. The movie could have been a half hour film, but instead it drags out its scenes with black screens, music, or visual effects. The cast is brilliant and international , with American as well as European actors. Man is confronted with a monolith, just as the apes were, and is drawn to a similar conclusion: This must have been made. If you want a crappy retelling that isn't worth your time, watch this pile. You will receive a weekly newsletter full of movie-related tidbits, articles, trailers, even the occasional streamable movie.
Vanessa William's superb rendition of her character is but a mirror of the other great acting roles distributed throughout the movie. The film did not provide the clear narrative and easy entertainment cues the audience expected. The Odyssey isn't just an important book, it's also a very exciting book and a beautiful work of literature. But I did, however, review this film very harshly since it has been known to define the sci-fi genre since its inception. Based on Homer's Odyssey adapted by Chris Solomine and director Andre Konchalovski himself.
They are one of the few parts everyone knows about the Odyssey. I was amazed by the special effects in Hades. And I really enjoyed it this time. What we can expect and what I did expect was some faithfulness to the original message and to historical detail. On the return home to Ithaca , Ulysses' boat shipwrecks and he's found unconscious on a Phaeacian island beach by beautiful princess , Calypso Vanessa Williams. Every film fan has their favorites, a list of movies they can watch endlessly.
His plan succeeds, but boastful Odysseus fails to give sufficient thanks to the god Poseidon for his help. The net effect is of the story told entirely from Odysseus' viewpoint, while keeping an eye on events back at his palace in Ithaca. With the help of Athena, Odysseus finally returns home in disguise. It wants to be sublime; it brings a seriousness and transcendence to the visuals. The film falls into several movements. But the truth, as I see it, is that it is a very accurate depiction of the way people were back then.
Philippe also realises that he needs to switch from exploration to conservation after he sees the cook casually toss a bucketful of waste over the side. I promise I went into this movie with an open mind and no plans to compare this film to any others. In capturing all of the excitement, enticement and rollicking adventure of the epic, they brought to life a superlative story rich in imagination. Yet, considering Cousteau's celebrity status, his frequent infidelities, his financial crises and the simmering tensions with Philippe, there are surprisingly few moments of real dramatic intensity. After visiting the prophet Tiresias Christopher Lee in Hades, Odysseus and his crew must brave the gaping jaws of the monsters Scylla and Charybdis. Once Odysseus is humbled a potent nugget of wisdom is revealed: Sometimes it's necessary to temporarily kowtow to the arrogant in order to assess the situation and bide your time for an effective strike.
From beginning to end, this film featured an amazing amount of music, from Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss, to the unsettling chorus from Requiem by György Ligeti, this movie had some of the best music I have heard in a movie so far. The hero of The Odyssey, Odysseus, occasionally strays from his homeward path, but he always returns to his mission of returning home to his family. Most movies are about characters with a goal in mind, who obtain it after difficulties either comic or dramatic. This ship is crewed by six: three scientists are in deep sleep in cryo-units and two of the astronauts are awake to tend the ship: Dr. I thought it was a pretty good movie from the start.


The TSU Laboratory for Social and Anthropological Research was established in the framework of the project "Man in a Changing World. Problems of Identity and Social Adaptation in History and at Present" (Russian Government Grant № 14.B25.31.0009) as a result of long-standing efforts of TSU historians and ethnologists to develop such lines of research and educational subjects as history, ethnography, ethnology, anthropology, and archaeology.
In 1962, a subdepartment of archaeology, ethnography and history of Siberia (later renamed to the subdepartment of archaeology and history-oriented regional studies) was opened. In 1968, there was a domain-specific research laboratory for history, archaeology and ethnography of Siberia created. At different times among the subdepartment and the laboratory's staff members were well-known Siberian ethnographers and anthropologists – G.I. Pelikh, N.V. Lukina, E.L. Lvova, A.M. Sagalaev, V.M. Kulemzin, N.A. Tomilov, V.A. Dremov, A.A. Kim, A.V. Bagashev, O.M. Ryndina, I.E. Maximova, M.V. Rykun and others. The staff of other TSU subdepartments was also involved with research and teaching in the field of ethnography/ethnology.
Over the years, a lot of field research was carried out in the regions of Tomsk, Kemerovo, Tyumen, Yakutiya, Khakasiya, Shoriya, Altai, etc. Numerous research publications were issued. Teaching staff of TSU department of history specializing in ethnology and social anthropology got many times invited as experts to assist authorities and public organizations in their work. TSU teaching and research staff's professional skills and expertise in ethnology and anthropology led to the establishment of the second beyond the Urals dissertation defense board in "Ethnography, Ethnology, Anthropology" in the year 1999.
In the 1990s-2000s, along with the continuing ethnographical study of the Siberian population, different research projects dealing with a wide range of ethnological, social and anthropological issues were undertaken. The role of students in that research is difficult to overestimate. In 2005, the student research laboratory for social anthropology (SNILSA) was set up.
Today, the disciplines of social anthropology and ethnology are actively being developed at Tomsk State University in close collaboration with well-established Russian and international research and educational centres.
