Monday evening in Memphis and, it is pitch black at 5:20 p.m. Feels more like 9:00 p.m. These days take me several weeks to get used to. I'm thinking about wonderful and easy comfort food to serve while our Thanksgiving company is here this year. This easy appetizer is warm and quick to assemble.
Mix cream cheese and ranch dip mix until blended. Spread mixture in bottom of 9 x 13 glass baking dish. Arrange chicken bite pieces over top of cream cheese mixture. Pour Buffalo sauce over chicken. Add more or less, depending on your taste. Top with blue cheese crumbles. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Serve warm with corn chips. DELISH!

Beyond the Numbers: Foreign Direct Investment in the United States Vol: 83
William L. Casey Jr.
Contemporary Studies in Economic and Financial Analysis
"Foreign Direct Investment in the United States" examines the factors that have motivated foreign firms to invest in the United States. Foreign direct investment (FDI) has changed from being a one-lane country road, handling a modest flow of financial traffic to a two-way superhighway carrying huge amounts of capital into, and out of, the country. There is an explanation regarding how this has all come about, through a multidimensional/multidisciplinary approach to the subject, applying both microeconomic and organizational theory. Cultural and political factors associated with FDI are considered whilst two full chapters are devoted to an analysis of the effectiveness of public policies (both federal and state) in attracting capital to the U.S. The book contains data that tracks FDI since 1950 by industry and by country of origin. Of special interest is the discussion of the relationship between the U.S. and Japan and how the chronic current account surplus of Japan became FDI to the U.S.
Preface and Acknowledgments. Introduction. The development and evolution of foreign direct investment theory. The determinants of foreign direct investment in the United States: factors governing the investment decision. Japanese foreign direct investment in the United States: a special case. U.S. governing policy and inward foreign direct investment. State incentive programs and foreign direct investment motivation. Conclusions.

Vietnam looks for Biden partnership after rocky Trump era
World 4h ago
South Korea's Moon urges Biden admin to follow up on Kim, Trump summit
Trump, in wave of Tuesday pardons, so far not planning to pardon himself - source
Officials are calculating whether and how Vietnam can restore stability in economic relations with President-elect Joe Biden. - AP
HANOI (Bloomberg) - Vietnam is looking to reset its volatile relationship with the US after finding itself caught in the middle of President Donald Trump's economic confrontation with China.
The South-east Asian nation was among the biggest beneficiaries of the US-China trade war as global companies added investments to diversify their supply chains. But its own swelling surpluses with the US saw it slapped with tariffs and accused of currency manipulation.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc said Sunday (Nov 15) "no matter who wins, the US is still a friend."
But behind the scenes, officials are calculating whether and how Vietnam can restore stability in economic relations with President-elect Joe Biden.
Hanoi anticipates the Biden administration will accelerate the US' broader engagement with Vietnam and won't be as focused on currency and trade issues as Mr Trump officials, said Mr Le Dang Doanh, a Hanoi-based economist and former government adviser.
"The United States is the biggest export market for Vietnam," Mr Doanh said. And in order to keep employment steady "Vietnam needs to keep exports growing."
There's heightened concern among some US businesses that the Trump officials could slap additional tariffs on Vietnam after the US Department of Commerce this month imposed a preliminary anti-subsidy duty on Vietnamese car and truck tires, citing the nation's "undervalued currency" among the reasons.
The department will make a final determination on the tariff around March 16, near when the US International Trade Commission is scheduled to rule on the case.
US imports of passenger tires from Vietnam were valued near US$470 million (S$631.92 million) in 2019, it said. Its trade surplus with the US is on pace to break last year's record US$56 billion.
"For a country like Vietnam, where inflation rates have been higher than most of its trading partners, a weakening dong is understandable," said Mr Truong Van Phuoc, a senior member of the prime minister's economic advisory board.
The government kept inflation at about 4 per cent while the dong's decline was only around 1 per cent-2 per cent annually in the last few year, he said.
The US has criticised Vietnam for its current account surplus and for allegedly buying the greenback in order to weaken its own currency. Yet the current account surplus is mainly due to remittances, not exports, according to Mr Phuoc, who's also a former chairman of the National Financial Supervisory Commission and former head of the central bank's foreign exchange department.
Remittances are money sent to Vietnam from abroad and often used for businesses and not just family support.
"When investors bring dollars in, they need to convert them into dong to invest," he said, noting that it's not the central bank snapping up dollars.
Additional tariffs put in place by outgoing officials could handcuff the Biden administration, which would have to expend political capital to undo them. Congressional Democrats are also expected to push for a stronger focus on human rights issues in the country, said Mr Ernie Bower, Washington-based president and chief executive officer of BowerGroupAsia.
Prime Minister Phuc, in a meeting last month with Mr Adam Boehler, head of the US International Development Finance Corporation, reiterated that Vietnam doesn't use its currency for a competitive trade advantage. Doing so would "seriously hurt macroeconomic stability, people's and investors' confidence" while damaging the nation's economy, he said.
Vietnam will have a chance to make another high-profile pitch to the outgoing US administration when National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien visits Vietnam and the Philippines this week.
Foreign investors and multinationals are increasingly drawn to Vietnam, which is set to be a rare economy to eke out growth in 2020. Its Communist leaders have doubled down on free trade, inking a deal last year with the European Union and hosting the signing Sunday of the world's biggest trade deal, known as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership.
New US tariffs could hurt the export-dependent economy, particularly manufacturers, which are struggling amid the global pandemic, said Mr Doanh in Hanoi. Economic growth is forecast to slow to 2 per cent -3 per cent in 2020 from last year's 7.02 per cent.
"The Vietnamese have a reasonable hope that the Biden approach will be less ideological and sharp" while maintaining pressure on China, said Washington-based Mr Bower.
Meanwhile, thanks to aligned interests on regional politics, trade and investment,"there's a view among the Biden foreign policy team that Vietnam has become a very strategic-thinking country in Asia."

Next up in DubNetwork's NHL Drat Profile spotlight is Portland Wiinterhawks defenseman Clay Hanus. He was named a "C" prospect in the Players to Watch rankings released by NHL Central Scouting. This means that they feel he could be drafted in the fifth, sixth or seventh rounds of the 2019 NHL Draft.
Clay Hanus seemed destined to play at the University of Minnesota. The Excelsior, Minnesota native grew up in a suburb of Minneapolis and did not know much about any paths to his dream of playing NHL hockey than the one that went through the Golden Gophers hockey program.
After participating in the 2016 Neely Cup and having his 2016-17 high school hockey season derailed due to a knee injury, Hanus started to contemplate the WHL path that was introduced to him by a trusted coach.
"Well I was originally committed to the University of Minnesota. I was planning on going there and playing in the USHL last year. I had a coach at a hockey school that worked with me and he was a Canadian guy. He was also a big WHL guy and he introduced me to the Dub and what it was about. Being from Minnesota, you don't really know much about it. From what he showed me, it sounded like a great place to be," Hanus said.
After finally deciding to take the plunge into the WHL with the Winterhawks in April of 2017, Hanus got to know another recent signee of Portland's, albeit one with a bigger name than his. That fellow American was New York Islanders draft pick Kieffer Bellows, who signed with Portland just under two months after Hanus did.
The uniqueness of being around a high profile NHL prospect would fade as Hanus would get to play with three other high picks in defensemen Henri Jokiharju and Dennis Cholowski and forwards Cody Glass and Bellows.
Hanus also noticed the smaller things fellow defensemen Jokiharju and Cholowski did on the ice that were key to their success.
The 5-foot-10, 170 pound defenseman may be on the more diminutive side of things but he is a fan favorite as he does not shy away from contact and pursues opponents in the corners with a dogged determination.
Hanus spent much of the year splitting the sixth defenseman role with 2000-born fellow rookie John Ludvig. Despite not getting a lot of ice time, the 2001-born Hanus soaked up as much as he could while playing on a team that nearly won the U.S. Division title and made the second round of the playoffs.
Hanus had his season end a little earlier than he would have liked though as after playing in 56 regular season games and potting six assists, he played in just one playoff game.
Ultimately he would have offseason knee surgery.
His first hockey after the surgery was suiting up at USA Hockey's Select 17 camp. He was named to one of two all-star teams at the end of camp and just missed being named to USA Hockey's U-18 Hlinka Gretzky Tournament team.
Hanus feels his knee is strong now and he is ready for his NHL Draft eligible season.
While many of those first-round picks have moved on to professional hockey and many are expecting Portland to fall short of what they were able to do last year, Hanus feels that this team should not be counted out.

Tackling life-threatening child malnutrition in Chad
Global development is supported by
Chad, in west Africa, has suffered prolonged droughts, poor harvest and most recently, devastating floods. These 'weather shocks' have exacerbated an already chronic food crisis and one in every four children under five suffers from acute malnutrition in the west of the country. Through the West Africa Humanitarian Response Fund, the UK's Department for International Development is funding partners such as Action Against Hunger to help respond to these humanitarian crises
Fri 15 Oct 2010 12.04 EDT First published on Fri 15 Oct 2010 12.04 EDT
Two-year-old Achtor is severely malnourished. She and her grandmother, from drought-stricken western Chad, live in poverty and struggle to get enough food. But Achtor is one of the lucky ones. Her acute malnutrition has been caught and is being treated before it develops into life-threatening severe acute malnutrition
Photograph: S.Hauenstein Swan/Action Against Hunger
Achtor's 75-year-old grandmother, Fatima, looks after the little girl since her mother left. "Achtor is a child that catches illnesses quickly. She is crying as she's hungry and wants to eat," she says. Before Achtor was diagnosed and put on treatment, two handfuls of maize had to last both of them two days
Achtor's great-uncle, Suliman, Fatima's brother, says that last year was not good. There was no pasture and six out of 10 of his camels died. And only one of the survivors is a female, which means that restocking will take a long time, so there is no spare money
Suliman's small millet field will probably produce just two to three bags, which will only last them for three or four months. "The rains have stopped after a good start in June and now it is too dry for growing. Many shoots remain too small to give yields."
To alleviate the chronic food insecurity and acute malnutrition, charities like Action Against Hunger (ACF) run mobile clinics, where they assess and identify the nutritional status of children like Achtor and treat them. It's part of the West Africa Humanitarian Response Fund, which is funded by the Department for International Development (DfID)
At this mobile clinic, children are weighed and measured and given the "appetite test". Those who have acute malnutrition, but still have an appetite are given ready-to-use therapeutic foods. Those who have lost their appetite and have life-threatening severe acute malnutrition and additional medical issues are sent to a regional hospital for intensive care
Whilst western Chad frequently experiences high acute malnutrition rates during the "hunger gap" season (a period of routine scarcity between harvests) the last two years have been particularly harsh. Some people are resorting to diluting leftovers of burnt millet porridge given to them by neighbours to feed their families
The Emergency Aid Programme is directly treating 8,000 severely malnourished children as well as implementing nutrition and health awareness-raising activities to some 214,000 household members across 580 villages in the region in partnership with the Chad Ministry of Health
This clinic in Mossouro town is where cases of severe acute malnutrition are handled
Severe acute malnutrition can be fatal if left untreated. This little girl has been taken to the clinic in Mossouro where she is receiving specially formulated micro-nutrient-enriched food and other medical support
The food crisis continues for more than 2.1 million men, women and children across Chad. DfID provides support to organisations such as AAH, Unicef and the World Food Programme to help

ISLAMABAD (AP) — The Taliban welcomed news of the U.S. plan to withdraw half its troops in Afghanistan by the summer, as Afghan generals warned it would be a blow to the morale of the country's beleaguered security forces who come under daily attacks from the insurgent fighters.
The announcement seems certain to complicate efforts to reach a peace deal, mostly because it gives the Taliban leverage by allowing them to hold off until a total U.S. withdrawal, or step up their demands over a weakened Afghan government.
"I believe the Taliban will see this as a reason to stall, and therefore it disincentivizes the Taliban to actually talk to the Afghan government, which it has refused to do," said Bill Roggio, an Afghanistan analyst with the Washington-based Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
Afghanistan's security forces rely heavily on U.S. airpower against both Taliban and an upstart Islamic State affiliate, and Afghan military officials note the announcement by the Trump administration comes as the country's security is at its worst since 2014, when more than 100,000 NATO troops pulled out of the country and handed off security to Afghans. The U.S. and NATO retreated into a training and advising role.
President Donald Trump considers the war in Afghanistan a lost cause and has long pushed to pull the troops out. His decision was made public a mere few hours after he abruptly announced the U.S. was withdrawing troops from Syria.
Trump's state of mind is sure to have given a sense of urgency to U.S. peace envoy Zalmay Khalilzad, who has been working to reach a negotiated end to America's longest war and has been pushing for a deal by April.
In an interview with Afghanistan's TOLO TV on Thursday — hours before the withdrawal plans were announced — he noted Trump had campaigned for president on a promise to end the Afghan war, which has already cost Americans nearly $1 trillion. More than 2,400 American soldiers have also died in Afghanistan since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion.
"There was little doubt that Ambassador Khalilzad was always working with limited time and a zeal of desperation to achieve something before the president pulled the plug," said Daniel Markey, senior research professor at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies.
Peace talks aside, the announced withdrawal has Afghan generals and analysts worried about the ability of the beleaguered Afghan National Afghan Security Force to stave off a Taliban insurgency unfettered by U.S. troops and their pounding air power.
The Taliban are already stronger today than they have been since their ouster in 2001, controlling or holding sway over nearly half the country.
Several high ranking Afghan military officials, who spoke on condition they not be identified because they were not authorized to speak to the media, said the morale of Afghanistan's undertrained and poorly equipped security forces was already at a dangerously low ebb. The troops routinely complain about reinforcements that arrive too late, equipment that fails and even running out of food.
The officials called America's withdrawal a defeat, comparing it to the U.S. evacuation from Vietnam and Russia's 1989 forced withdrawal from Afghanistan that capped a failed 10-year campaign.
U.S. troops invaded Afghanistan in November 2001 in response to the Sept. 11 attacks. Their ouster of the Taliban returned to power former warlords, whose bitter infighting and runaway corruption had resulted in vast tracts of the capital Kabul being destroyed and given rise to the Taliban, who used a strict and harsh interpretation of Islam to restore calm to the country.
Ordinary Afghans have mixed feelings about the presence of U.S. and NATO troops. Many fear their departure believing it will strengthen the Taliban, yet criticize their presence for doing little to improve security, which has deteriorated. Afghans complain bitterly about their deeply corrupt government and see the U.S. — which largely bankrolls the government — as responsible.
Neighbor Pakistan, who has been harshly criticized by Trump for not doing enough to bring the Taliban to the table, had warned that a sudden departure of U.S. troops would result in chaos in Afghanistan and destabilize the region.
"The last thing it (Pakistan) wants is a radical Islamist state on its Western border, even if that eliminates or reduces Indian influence in Afghanistan," said Shuja Nawaz, author and fellow at the Atlantic Council's South Asia Center.
Associated Press writer Amir Shah in Kabul, Afghanistan contributed to this report.

Judge dismisses case against man accused of running puppy mill
Sheriff's asks case against Donald Black be reinstated

Donald Black: charged with ill treatment of animals
A judge has dismissed the case against a man who was charged with ill treatment of animals after what was believed to have been one of the largest puppy mill raids in the area.Donald F. Black, 74, was arrested in August 2013 after more than 150 dogs were rescued from a suspected puppy mill on Martin Road in Starr in Anderson County.He was served with four arrest warrants charging him with ill treatment of animals that investigators said encompassed the mistreatment of 126 of the dogs.Sheriff John Skipper said a vet's evaluation of the dogs helped determine what charges should be filed against Black.Officials said the dogs ranged in age from 1 or 2 days old to older than 10 years. Martin voluntarily surrendered the dogs.Authorities said the Chihuahuas, cocker spaniels, dachshunds and Pomeranians were living in their own waste and didn't have clean drinking water.More than 100 people helped with the rescue operation, including local volunteers, county employees and members of the South Carolina State Guard.Reason for dismissal explainedBlack's defense attorney, Donald Smith, told Judge Nancy Devine that he hadn't received documents that he had subpoenaed in the case. Smith said he could not properly defend Black without that information. He says that's why Devine dismissed the case.Sheriff John Skipper says his office has given their entire file to the attorney and he showed WYFF News 4's Mandy Gaither the receipt that the file had been received by the attorney's office.Smith said, "My secretary did sign for what was sent to me. But what I'm saying is what was sent to me was not complete and since all of the people involved in this are basically related to the county, I find it disingenuous that I can get materials relating to one dog that is probably eight or nine pages and everybody else received two or three pages. It's just not sufficient."Skipper said, "I think it was an error to dismiss it based on, if she thought it was information were were supposed to provide and we didn't. But as I understand, that's not the case. We complied with what we're required to do by law to prosecute this case."WYFF News 4 tried to get in touch with Devine, but the call was not returned.Gaither also talked to County Administrator Rusty Burns about the documents Smith says he didn't get. Burns said he hadn't had the opportunity to review the file of the documents Black alleges are missing.As of late Wednesday afternoon, there was still no word on whether Devine would reinstate the case.
ANDERSON COUNTY, S.C. —
A judge has dismissed the case against a man who was charged with ill treatment of animals after what was believed to have been one of the largest puppy mill raids in the area.

A few weeks ago, I went with my friend Jason to see the fantastic, sweet, inspiring documentary 'Bill Cunningham New York'. Since the 1960s, Cunningham has been working as a street fashion and society photographer, publishing a weekly fashion spread in the New York Times, among others. He is very influential and well-respected in the international fashion community for his ability to spot trends, his eye for fun and beauty, and his encyclopedic knowledge of fashion history. And, he's a lovely person. You just HAVE to see it. During the movie and afterward, I had a sad little wish that someday he would see my work (his previous career was as a milliner), although I doubted this was ever likely to happen. Little did I know, by that time he had already seen my work and liked it enough to photograph it, include it in the spread and slideshow, and even use it as the thumbnail representing the slideshow on the NYT website. I'm beyond thrilled!!!
And here's the photo. This is a Belle Epoch mini top hat in 'mink' long-nap felt, with matching veiling, a large gray/green cockade, and pheasant feathers. I remember this hat very well, it was a joy to make, the colors are really subtle and were fun to work with. I love how happy the lady looks wearing it!
Here's a link to the full slideshow.
The hat was purchased earlier this year, perhaps specially to wear to the parade, from ADS Hats in San Francisco.

Change is the need of the hour and it is really important for every organization to carry out change management processes in an efficient manner throughout the transformational journey in order to have optimum results. Although, many change management agents and leadership of the organization implementing change management processes might face difficulty in creating a smooth flow of the change management processes and maintaining the momentum.
Maintaining the momentum is crucial in any change management process since it provides stability to the organization's change management processes and adds value in the end product. Below are some of the key rules that will help you in maintaining the momentum of the change management process in your organization.
You should be open to accepting new allies and their feedbacks in order to build momentum throughout your change management process. Your allies can be present in anywhere at any unexpected place. It may be someone opposing your decisions that might have come up with a very apt and efficient suggestion. Such people will add value to your journey and will assist you in achieving excellence in your change management journey.
Opposition will help in molding your change management journey for the better. Moreover, any change management process needs to be supported by all the levels in order to have a holistic approach towards any problem and consequently for an effective solution. The opposition will help you in finding out the mistakes that might impact the overall health of the change management journey. They are bound to criticize you, but it is your responsibility to take them along with you in order to have a optimized and effective change management journey.
Every now and then there will be some aspects or people which will be out of your reach and capabilities. It is then, when you need to realize this fact that and stop spending your resources and time. There will be people who will not be happy with whatever you do and despite your efforts; you might have to part ways with such people. It is important to do that since it will help you in focusing on the transformation journey as well as remove the excess burden of resources.
Am I open enough to accept new allies that can benefit me?
Am I constantly listening to my opposition and motivating them to be a part of the journey?
Am I ok with the fact that I might not be able to win everyone?

Engineering graduate students earn support for water-quality research
Posted by Joe Kullman /
Resources Students
Heather Stancl and Natalia von Reitzenstein will do research in pursuit of doctoral degrees in civil and environmental engineering from the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering with support from professional organizations in their fields.
Von Reitzenstein received a National Water Research Institute Fellowship providing $5,000 each year for two years.
Stancl won a $2,500 scholarship from the WateReuse Arizona organization.
Von Reitzenstein is developing a novel electrospun fiber that can be used for water treatment.
Electrospinning is a methods commonly used for in materials science and biomedical engineering to produce conductive textiles and tissue scaffolding.
"Basically I'm making a new kind of fiber that will improve water treatment by increasing efficiency and reducing costs," she said. "What's cool about this idea is that electrospun fibers have a much higher surface-area-to-volume ratio that the conventional ion exchange beads now used for water treatment."
After earning her degree, she hopes to continue the work at a research university as well as develop new methods for learning engineering that will "get students more interested and invested in this field," Hoogesteijn said.
Her research advisor is Paul Westerhoff, a professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment.
Stancl is using novel nanotechnologies to find solutions to contamination of drinking water. Specifically, she's exploring ways to remove nitrates from water systems.
The decontamination method she is developing also promises to be effective in removing pesticides and other toxic materials, she said.
"Research to find a successful way to remove nitrate from water involves fundamental chemistry, materials science, engineering and physics," Stancl explained. "The goal is a product that can be implemented at low cost and require a low amount of energy while removing contaminants that pose a risk to human health."
Her career aspiration is to "provide a means for implementing access to safe water on a global scale."
Stancl's research advisors are Westerhoff and Kiril Hristovki, an assistant professor in the engineering programs in the Polytechnic School.

The Final Wager
Fact Primers
Memorizing the geography of Asia
« 2015 Teachers Tournament, SF #3
2015 Teachers Tournament, SF #2 »
To memorize the geography of Asia and the Caucasus, let's split this huge continent into pieces.
Before we begin, a few notes:
First, these segments aren't designed to make geopolitical sense, although in many cases they do. They're simply the best chunks for memorization, at least using my approach.
Second, the close-up regions aren't exact in terms of shape and area. That's a by-product of using GIMP (a Photoshop alternative) on a low-quality image.
Third, for simplicity's sake, I've excluded border disputes, exclaves, and enclaves (more on that later).
Let's start here…
…and move from west to east (sort of, anyway).
If you're having trouble seeing any map, click on it for a version with a solid background.
Caucasus region
Park the car in the GArAze (Georgia – ARmenia – AZErbaijan, west to east).
It's here we discuss our first exclave: Nakhchivan, which is part of Azerbaijan. An exclave is a part of a country that's separated by another country.
An enclave, conversely, is part of a country that's totally surrounded by another country. West Berlin was a classic example: to get there by land, you'd have to travel through East Germany.
Mediterranean area
When the end times come, this part of the world is going to be a waste land.
From north to south, it's T-S-L-I-J – almost like T.S. Eliot.
Note: For some reason I originally had "leaves of grass" as a mnemonic – I hope that didn't cost anyone a correct Final response in the February 19 game.
Saudi Arabia is the keystone of this area. Hanging from the bottom of this… uh, phallic area are two manly countries: Yemen and Oman (YO!).
Those of you who live in New York will know about the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, which provides the acronym for the nations along the Persian Gulf: Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.
Iraq, Iran, Kuwait
Playing pool against Saddam Hussein, I racked, then I ran.
Just remember that Iraq invaded tiny Kuwait to get at its oil – as well as at the Persian Gulf.
Indian subcontinent and environs
India and Pakistan are always at loggerheads, so it makes sense that they'd be next to each other. And many escapees from Afghanistan in our offensive there, including Osama bin Laden, went to neighboring Pakistan.
Another way to remember: In an India Pale Ale – I.P.A. (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan) – the bubbles rise toward Great Britain. (There's a historical reason to use this mnemonic.)
Nepal and Bhutan are mountain kingdoms to the north of India. And Bangladesh, which has disastrous floods seemingly every monsoon season from the Bay of Bengal, is surrounded by India. It was known as East Pakistan until the Liberation War of 1971, which cost the lives of hundreds of thousands (perhaps millions, even) of Bangladeshis at the hands of [West] Pakistan.
India and Bangladesh have dozens of enclaves and exclaves, including the world's only counter-counter-enclave – a piece of India completely surrounded by Bangladeshi territory, which is in turn is completely surrounded by Indian territory that's surrounded by Bangladesh.
Sri Lanka is that island southeast of India.
The "minor" -stans
Kazakhstan, the largest landlocked country in the world, is our starting point. Beneath it, to the west, are Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan: K-U-T. (Uzbekistan is one of two countries that are doubly landlocked.)
To the east are another K-T combination: Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
So we have two T countries. To tell them apart: Turkmenistan is closer to Turkey than is Tajikistan; it also has a U, like the country right above it.
The big boys
You should be able to memorize this one by rote. Hainan is just a big island, not a wannabe-independent country like Taiwan.
The keystone here is Thailand. It really ties this area together – without it, it would be split into two.
Trader Vic's in Hollywood used to make Mai Tais – MYanmar and THAIland, in that order.
Singapore, the city-state at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, has the world's nicest airport. That should help you remember that it's next to Malaysia, which lost two airplanes (Flights 370 and 17) last year.
Malaysia also has another large parcel on the island of Borneo, surrounding the Sultanate of Brunei.
Vietnam is on the eastern edge of the area, along the water; the 1964 Tonkin Gulf Resolution cleared the way for LBJ to escalate in the 1960s.
The Viet Cong invaded neighboring Cambodia, which is not Laos, the only landlocked country in the region.
The southern archipelagos
All that's left are the Phillipines, Indonesia, Timor-Leste, which broke away from Indonesia for good in 2002, and Brunei, the sultanate surrounded by the Malaysian exclave on the island of Borneo. (Map to follow.)

Use our definitions to understand ISO's business continuity management standard. A business impact analysis is a process that organizations use to analyze the effect a business disruption could have on activities that support the provision of products and services. The results of this analysis are used to set business continuity and recovery priorities, objectives, and targets. 3.9 pokemon red instruction manual pdf When organizations operating internationally started calling for a single International Standard, ISO/TC 223, Societal security, responded by developing ISO 22301:2012, Societal security – Business continuity management systems – Requirements.

It's tempting to think of Junkies' Promises: curated by Ivan Návarro as a psychotropic first night of Hannukah. Lights, lights everywhere seeming to burn endlessly; the endurance of the lights and the brilliant variety of colors they shine in appears just shy of miraculous. But Návarro's keen technical decisions, whose own work appears in a section of the show, is hardly a novel phenomenon: his fluorescent furniture-esque work has effectively bridge a hardened gap between form and functionality, all the while questioning the aesthetic repercussions of both concepts. His play on William S. Burroughs' semi-autobiographical novel works with the skills and cunning of one who defies every man-made law in order to survive (if the right to exist is meant to be divine law).
Steel lanterns from Jorge Pardo, a spiral tribute to Louise Bourgeois by Deborah Kass, a ladder reflecting colors by Stephen Dean and an elegant Deco chandelier from Josiah McElheny illuminate both lit and unlit spaces within the cavernous Paul Kasmin Gallery space on Tenth Avenue and its satellite space on 27th Street. The room directly to the left of the entrance (on Tenth) glows a deep navy blue, with flickers of white and multicolor neons littered on the floor and the walls. A curious installation, called Lap Lamp (2006), from Pipilotti Rist sits alone against one wall. A standup lamp covered with a painted lampshade stands next to a nondescript chair, a circular projection resides on the seat bottom. What is the light source? Do we eclipse light with our own presence? When we 'turn out' a light, it still appears in other places. In Burrough's case, for example, one unavailable hit of heroin could be rescued in the detritus of another. One failed opportunity to get high spurs determination beyond any to reach another. Rist's work is equivalent to the recurring promises a junkie makes for him or herself: the source is always somewhere, visible or not.
Back in the first room, the chandeliers burn almost too brightly. The eclectic collection of Baroque and Deco lighting delicately treads the threshold of light too intense to be seen. Dzine's Around the Way Girl (chandelier sculpture) (2013) further enhances its own luminous intensity with mirrored shards above the hanging candle-shaped bulbs. More than pulling a realistic symptom of the junkie's condition (sensitivity or extra-sensory perception to light), Návarro reads into the culture of lighting space and how such a basic natural function is warped into complex visual codes. Further evidence of Burroughs' death-drive existence are manifest in two works at the 27th Street space. Jill Magid's Bayonet Range (2013) physically mirrors the printed word as both the weapon and the victim: just as Burroughs' account was catharsis, it was also self-incriminating. He An's He TaoYuan (2012) softens the impression neon light as exploitative, but willingly reveals its breakages as something specific to a distressed or questionable atmosphere. Rounding out all of these works is a typically poignant, piercing neon message from Alfredo Jaar (who echoes the core plea from a personality like Burroughs'): Teach Us To Outgrow Our Madness.

How many decimal digits are needed to represent a binary floating-point number exactly?
How many decimal digits are needed to represent a binary floating-point number reversibly?
How many decimal digits are needed to represent a binary floating-point number as an exact fraction?
When the exponent is zero, you need as many decimal digits as there are binary bits in the significand of the binary floating-point number (you get one power of two in each digit).
For example, the 64-bit IEEE 754 binary floating-point format (often called a 'double') has a 53-bit significand (52 bits explicit in the format and one implied). To represent this exactly needs 53 decimal digits.
Consider the double which has all ones and an exponent of zero; that is, the binary fraction 1.1111111.... (53 one bits in all). That has the value 20 + 2−1 + 2−2 + .... + 2−52.
There are 37 significant digits in the right-hand term, again giving a total of 53 significant digits.
See also see item 2 in an earlier answer for a couple more examples where you need over 50 digits for the exact conversion of a binary double to a decimal fraction.
Additional digits may be needed when the exponent is non-zero; probably up to 63 or 64 (again, one digit for each bit of information in the original number). Leading zeros (depending on the chosen format for the result) may also be needed.
As described in the last answer, representing a binary floating-point (BFP) number as an exact decimal number needs as many decimal digits as there are bits in the binary number.
However, far fewer are needed for a safe reversible conversion (that is, converting a BFP number to decimal and then back to BFP giving the identical BFP to that which one started with). For the 64-bit IEEE 754 binary floating-point format ('double'), it's 17.
Why 17? Think of the significand as a 53-bit integer. This can have (simplifying slightly, but erring on the safe side) 253 different values. All we need to do is convert each of those values to a different decimal digit sequence (and ensure that converting back gives us the original binary integer). To do that we need a decimal number that can encode 253 or more values.
253 is 9007199254740992, which has 16 digits. To accomodate edge cases when taking into account the exponent it turns out one more digit than that is needed, which is 17 digits.
For more detail on this, see the Conversions section of links at the General Decimal Arithmetic page, especially Steele & White's paper and others which cite it.

Q: Asp.Net MVC Razor Dropdown - Accessing list from ViewModel I'd like to make a dropdown menu in a cshtml file using Razor. I'm using a ViewModel, in which I define a list. I'd like to use that list's values as dropdown options. For this, I'mtrying:
@model GuestViewModel
...
@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.SelectedLocation, m => m.travellocations, "Select location!")

However, for the m => m.travellocations (travellocations is a list: travellocations = new List<SelectListItem>();), it just says it cannot convert the lambda to a list. How can I access this list in such a dropdown?

A: The second parameter is not a lambda expression, so use this declaration:
@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.SelectedLocation, Model.travellocations, "Select location!")

The lambda expression "m" is a shortcut for Model anyway.

Even if you have to lean on each other to get there.
Looking for your word(y) contributions….
Anything and everything…spit fire or choke gargling on vomit…just a message in your own words.

September 3, 2019 ~ Forgetful Bard
Music echoed softly from the living room as Sarah stood in silence – staring into the bedroom of her missing roommate, Andrea. The sound was intended to help Sarah not feel so alone in the apartment. In the end, she was uncertain if it helped or hurt. Her eyes scanned the self-portraits and photos of Andrea that decorated the room and somewhere deep in her chest, she ached. The sun was setting, and the room's overhead light cast a soft warmth over everything – replacing the day's light.
Did I miss some sign that Andrea was in trouble?
What could I have done differently?
Earlier, Sarah had spent part of her day with Jeremy searching through sketchbooks. The last few hours, she had helped cover a shift at the coffee house for someone who was sick. Working her regular hours wasn't enough, and it had become necessary to start picking up extra shifts as the bills continued to pile up. Now, though, she was all alone in her apartment again. She wanted nothing more than to have Andrea back and safe, but, here and now she would settle for just the knowledge of what had happened to her.
The easel stood at the foot of the bed with its unfinished painting as Sarah walked in and moved the sheet and cover back to make up the side of the bed on which Andrea usually slept. The outfits that had been left out on the bed were still there. She had been unable to bring herself to move anything in Andrea's room until now and worried she would have to pack everything up for someone who would not return.
Somewhere under her, a spring half-squeaked as she turned and sat down on the edge of Andrea's bed. There was no one now – no one with whom she was genuinely close. Slowly the reality of it all was setting in and becoming too much. Her best friend was missing. It was a struggle to make ends meet. Other than her neighbor and coworkers, there was no one close for support. Family members were a phone call away, but it wasn't enough – not now. In this big city, the realization of isolation and seclusion was overpowering her.
Unable to take the pain of loss and solitude any longer, she felt flood gates open behind her eyes as tears began to stream down her face. Uncontrollable sobs accompanied her tears as she glanced around the room. There was so much happiness that Andrea had created through her art and photos. Every smiling picture or brightly colored painting caused Sarah to slip further away. She wiped away tears only to have them replaced.
Giving in, she shifted her weight to lay down on Andrea's bed. Thoughts became blurred as she lost focus of any way to reason through her emotions. She pulled her bare feet up off the floor, resting her body in the same spot where Andrea had slept. She wished she could go to sleep and wake to find it all a horrible dream – that she would hear her friend's voice waking her up. It never happened. She would never get to say goodbye. Instead, she continued to lie there – drifting in and out of fits of crying and sniveling.
Reaching under the pillows on the bed to adjust them as she rolled flat onto her stomach, she buried her face into the coolness of the pillow. Her long blonde hair was down out of its bun, and she could feel strands of her hair matting to the sides of her face. Shifting the weight of her small frame to brush the hair away from her face, she heard something clatter against the floor and wall near her.
Lifting her head, she looked around, almost sure that a painting or photo had fallen. As she moved her hair back away from her eyes, there was nothing on the walls was out of place or missing. Convinced she had heard something fall near her, she wondered if she knocked something off of the bed.
In her confusion, the sobbing subsided. She rolled over the side of the bed and stood again, searching the floor around her feet. Seeing nothing, she moved back and leaned down to look underneath Andrea's bed. The light barely illuminated under the bed, but Sarah could still see something on the floor, leaning against the wall. Climbing down onto her hands and knees, she slid partially under the wooden frame of the bed. She stretched her arm out as far as she could without moving further underneath the bed, and her fingertips brushed against the object and grasped it.
Sarah shimmied back away from the bed, bringing the object in her hand back as well. Resting on her knees, she turned it over to look at the cover. It was one of Andrea's sketchbooks – a smaller sketch pad than her normal ones, but the same brand that Andrea had sworn by. Unable to control her curiosity, she flipped open the sketch pad and began to turn through its pages.
Still kneeling on the floor next to Andrea's bed, Sarah turned over each of the pages slowly. Other than the size, initially, the book seemed just like any other sketchbook to her. As she continued to turn through the usual sketches and notes that Andrea left in her books, it became apparent it was not a typical sketchbook. The expected drawings and comments the artist wrote to herself were slowly replaced by the same partial images that Sarah and Jeremy had found earlier in the day.
Andrea had drawn features of a face independently on separate pages. A chiseled and masculine jawline, a featureless head, piercing eyes, smirking lips – all alone on each page and each incomplete. Some of the pages that followed began to have quickly scrawled notes accompanying them.
A drawing of the penetrating eyes bore the words "He draws me to him."
Another image of a mouth and part of the face showed a confident smirk and the words "More and more, I want to be with him."
One page was blank save for the words "His eyes pull me in."
The pages continued throughout the last half of the sketch pad's pages. Sarah continued. It was like getting a glimpse into Andrea's mind as she worked. The quality of the drawings and notes began to deteriorate and grow more frustrated. Andrea would start something only to scribble through the illustration roughly.
The notes along the sides of the pages began to change to questions.
"Why can't I draw or paint him?"
"Why can't I picture him fully?"
The pencil work in the drawings became more defined, and some of the images began to take up the whole page. Sarah flipped through several sketches of solitary eyes that took up the entire page to stare back at her. Finally, she reached a page that was torn through by how heavily the lead had run over it. The sheet underneath was blank save for the unintended markings. Sarah took a moment as she thought about Andrea's state as she had been drawing and writing in the book. Andrea must have been breaking down, and Sarah had never even noticed.
Andrea had seemed so happy. She'd finally met someone, and he was amazing and dreamy. That was all Andrea would say about the man she had joked about keeping as her secret. Sarah had demanded details, but her roommate would only smile and say that she wasn't allowed to tell. Andrea had struggled to draw him as well, while her sketches and notes had become bleak. Something was wrong.
Sarah flipped to the next sheet and found a single, clearly written note across it. "I can't finish the painting of him, no matter how hard I try."
At the bottom right of the page, there was a small arrow drawn in the corner – guiding Sarah to turn to the next page. It was a little thing they had started doing in their class notes, and notes left for each other around the apartment. It was something the two women did when they left a message for each other on the reverse of a piece of paper.
Instinctively, Sarah turned the page once more and found the clear and carefully drawn outline of the smirking mouth she had seen in other drawings. An arrow was drawn in the corner of the page again. Was this a note for Sarah? Had Andrea known that Sarah would eventually find this sketchpad?
The next page featured a wave of thick hair and sideburns on an otherwise blank page. Another arrow directed her to flip the page. This time, eyes were drawn on the page – the same piercing eyes that Andrea had sketched so many times before. Another arrow. Sarah turned the page yet again.
Several more pages and several more arrows and all of the features were there. Andrea, for whatever reason, had been unable to draw the man she had become obsessed with all at once. Instead, she had put down each of his features on separate pages, but the lines were substantial enough to allow Sarah to see the page immediately underneath. Had this been Andrea's final message to Sarah?
The final arrow turned to a page with a note, addressed to her and confirming what she had suspected. "Sarah, I have to go see him. God help me. I can't stop myself."
Maybe this sketchbook was it. Maybe the sketchbook and the note were the clues that Andrea's case needed. Sarah sprung to her feet and ran barefoot from her apartment and into the hallway.
Sarah had to show Jeremy what she had found.

I love this. My interpretation of its meaning is probably incorrect…ish. But I guess that's the beauty of it, haha.
Also, fishing always makes me sad. Despite their simple fishy minds, I always feel bad for the pain we cause them when fishing. Especially the dreaded swallowed hook! Even hurting the worm makes me sad though. I'm such a bleeding heart. Sticking the hook through the body of the worm – watching it writhe in pain. If there is a God, I hope he gave bugs and bottom-of-the-food chain creatures less nerve endings.
Part of it is about empathy, so you haven't missed the point.
Ugh, I hate the swallowed hook! The removal is always so crunchy and horrifying. Then they're like, "Go back in the water sweetie, grow up big and strong, I set you free!" and it sinks straight to the bottom. I wish people would just eat the fish they catch.
