Being a small business owner has its shares of important decisions, not the least of which is how to secure necessary financing. It may be that your business is seasonal, or your business could be growing at a faster rate than you have the working capital to handle. One way that small businesses can find much needed funds to increase cash flow, without going into debt, is called factoring. In the simplest of terms, this just means selling your unpaid invoices to a factor company at a discount.
Here's how to determine if this is the best option for your business.
Does Your Business Have Accounts Receivable?
Obviously, in order to sell any unpaid invoices to a factor company, you must operate a business that generates invoices. If your business provides goods or services to customers, then accounts receivable might work for you. Many factor companies want you to sell large batches of invoices or all the invoices from one customer. If your main business operations do not generate many monthly invoices, this type of financing may not be the most suitable for you.
How is the Credit of Your Customers?
One of the appeals factoring holds for many small business owners is that factor companies generally care more about the credit worthiness of your customers more than that of your business. This makes securing approval easier than trying to get approved for a small business loan. If your customers have good credit and regularly pay on time, then selling their invoices could help you get payment faster than the net 30 days regularly associated with invoice payments.
Do You Have a Clear Idea of Your Financial Needs?
Last, but certainly not least, it is very important to have a good understanding of what will and will not work for your company when it comes to terms and fees. Just like with banks, factor companies each have their own conditions, fees, and services. Do they handle collection? What is the discount rate? Are there any additional charges? Before deciding to sell your invoices, make sure the terms work for your individual business needs.
Whether your small business is in an off-season slump or experiencing sudden growth that requires an increase in cash flow, selling your outstanding invoices to a factor company can help you find funds quickly and without increasing debt. If your business has a substantial amount of accounts-receivable and customers with a good repayment history, then factoring could be just the financial solution your business needs.

Band at Historically Black Alabama College to March at Inauguration, Sparking Controversy
Other historically black schools, including Howard University, said they did not apply to march in the parade
Published January 2, 2017 • Updated on January 13, 2017 at 12:12 pm
Organizers of President-elect Donald Trump's inaugural parade say the marching band of Alabama's oldest private, historically black liberal arts college, Talladega College, has accepted an invitation to perform.
Friday's announcement comes as historically black schools including Howard University, which marched in President Barack Obama's first inaugural parade, said they did not apply to march at Trump's inauguration.
The news has lit up Talladega College's social media sites with a sharp debate about the band's decision to participate. Some people voiced strong opposition, while others supported the band's participation.
So Talladega College band playing for Donald Trump's inauguration . How can you tarnish the legacy of an HBCU by associating it w| Trump?
— Big General👳🏾♀ (@SpiffyGxld) December 23, 2016
Talladega College officials did not immediately return phone calls and emails seeking comment.
The news is part of the Presidential Inaugural Committee's larger announcement Friday of the 40 organizations, including several military and veterans groups, that will march in Trump's inaugural parade.
No high school or university marching band in the D.C. area will march in the parade.
News4 reported earlier this month that no D.C. public school marching bands had applied to participate, after at least one local band played in the past five parades.
Two groups from Northern Virginia will perform: the U.S. Army's Caisson Platoon from Fort Myer and the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) from Arlington.
The Caisson Platoon is comprised of soldiers on horseback who lead fallen service members to rest in Arlington National Cemetery.
TAPS serves people grieving the death of a loved one who served in the Armed Forces.

Outcome: Creating smarter digitised infrastructure requires cross-industry collaboration. Transport, energy and cities will all be transformed by new technologies and many of the issues facing these areas will be cross-cutting in their nature.
techUK has acted as a convenor of the smart infrastructure market, bringing together members and external organisations together through forums and a series of events. These have included discussing future energy purchasing models and workshops with organisations such as Highways England and TfL. Alongside our Local Government programme we have helped to drive techUK's Council of the Future project, helping to create the environment for greater collaboration between councils and tech companies. Throughout 2017 we engaged closely with Harrow Council, supporting them on their innovation journey.
Turning to transport, SmarterUK worked closely with the SMMT, supporting greater understanding between the two communities through joint sessions and engagement at Automechanika Birmingham. The team has also worked with Digital Railway making it easier for tech companies to participate in the project and engage with the supply chain.
Establishing itself as a champion for smart infrastructure across a range of areas, the team supported the ICE with its State of the Nation 2017 Digital Transformation Report, providing members an opportunity to feed into the drafting process through a series of focused roundtables.
SmarterUK holds a seat on the Infrastructure Client Groups Project 13 Digital Transformation workstream. Through this project the team works with key stakeholders across the infrastructure industry to develop two outputs; an industry readiness matrix and a technology platform. Both outputs seek to deliver higher levels of technology implementation across UK infrastructure assets and related services.
In the energy market, SmarterUK has consistently and successfully helped to drive Government policy towards embracing a smarter, more flexible system. In smart cities we have helped newly elected metro mayors to understand the opportunity that embracing the smart city concept can bring to their region and the practical steps they can take through techUK's digital devolution paper.
Shaping policy and regulatory developments.
Outcome: Smart Infrastructure spans many areas but a general theme is that it is shaped heavily by either policy or regulatory outputs. Given the diverse nature of smart infrastructure apparently benign developments can have wide-ranging impacts.
techUK has ensured that members have stayed up-to-date with related developments through monthly newsletters, as well as highlighting opportunities such as innovation funding. The team has also ensured that members are able to engage directly with relevant organisations either through workshops, such as with the National Infrastructure Commission or through engaging directly with companies such as UKPN.
The programme delivered significant insight into ongoing projects through SmarterUK's membership of several bodies. These include the ENA's Open Networks Project, UK Power Network Critical Friends Panel, Quarterly SMMT CAV Forum, BSI's L13 Smart Grid Policy Committee, All-Party Parliamentary Group on Smart Cities and the BEIS/Ofgem Smart Systems Forum.
Addressing security and privacy challenges.
Outcome: Security is a growing issue in operational technology, particularly in areas of Critical National Infrastructure. At the same time there is growing concern over the damage poorly secured IoT devices can have within their own ecosystems and beyond.
The programme has explored several aspects of the privacy and security debate, starting with a set of Trust Principles for an IoT World. The team continues to explore IoT security both from a technical viewpoint and looking at international best practice within Critical National Infrastructure.

The Cornell Daily Sun (https://cornellsun.com/2016/10/21/actions-speak-louder-than-words/)
Courtesy of Film Arts Guild
By Trip Hastings | October 21, 2016
After surviving attempts to destroy all copies of this film due to copyright infringement (they never got the rights to the material), this adaptation of Stoker's Dracula (1897) was brought before a packed audience in Sage Chapel. For those who don't know, Nosferatu is a 1922 silent, expressionist, German film. This means lots of beautiful stylized acting may be in store, which is my favorite part of any silent film. Since silent films can only use intertitles for dialogue, the plot has to be conveyed via the characters' actions. The actors are over the top in their gestures, and their eyes bulge farther than I think should be physically possible. However, the stylized acting here is downplayed to make the audience take the film more seriously. So, unfortunately, it isn't as funny as I thought it might be. But, what do you expect from one of the most influential horror films of all time? The question I wanted to explore was whether Nosferatu really is as flawless as everyone believes it to be.
In any silent film, the only sound is the accompanying soundtrack. That night, we had the pleasure of live accompaniment from the orchestra, the Silent Czars. And, I don't know if it was just because I couldn't see them, but I kept forgetting the music was live. It was dramatic, on point with what was on screen down to characters' gestures and really created a creepy atmosphere. One of the Silent Czars even added an intro to the piece by dressing up in period costume, trying to scare the audience before the film started. It was creative but confusing.
The film lives up to its name in atmosphere. For a film made in 1922, it builds suspense very well through the ominous shadows (chiaroscuro lighting for you film junkies), long takes and the eerie music. The best scenes are when Count Orlok (a.k.a. Nosferatu) tries to kill his victims by sucking their blood. I just wish there were more scenes like this. Throughout the entire film, you only see Nosferatu attack four times and control people with his shadow once. The other times, we just see the result of his attacks and the dead. So, despite the atmosphere building in intensity and eeriness, there's not that much of a payoff. You could argue less is more, but scenes when we don't see Nosferatu ranged from odd to confusing.
The characters are pretty typical to what you would find in this genre today: the unspeakable evil (Nosferatu), the minion (Knock), the fair maiden (Ellen), the dashing hero (Hutter) and others. Nosferatu is creepy, and his costume and makeup design really add to the overall effect. I particularly like the addition of his long nails, which is a pretty defining feature. His limitless telekinetic powers make me wonder why it takes so long for him to kill everyone and attack Ellen. What is he waiting for? Knock, Hutter's boss and scapegoat for the town's killings, is controlled by Nosferatu. He is just a crazy character and is so much fun. Even his eyebrows take on a life of their own. I wish he does more than just send Hutter to Nosferatu, but that might make the audience not take the film seriously. I guess I just wanted more over the top.
The actress playing Ellen isn't fantastic, but I can't say I've seen silent films where the acting is realistic. And, some artistic liberties are definitely taken with the portrayal of characters. There is a very bizarre scene where she somehow telepathically stops Nosferatu from attacking Hutter. Her "powers" don't come into play anywhere else, so I'm not sure how to interpret that. Also, she is Hutter's wife, so how is she a fair maiden? I mean, I don't know the inner workings of their marriage, but I doubt that she's a maiden. I guess Nosferatu goes after her because he sees her in a picture Hutter has, but it's weird that she just happens to be the one that could somehow distract Nosferatu and kill him. And, she doesn't do anything to really distract him more than other people, so it just seems like Nosferatu is stupid for not getting back to his house in time.
Hutter ranges from fun and enjoyable to just dopey. He is a relatable character but doesn't run when he figures out Nosferatu is a vampire. And, to follow Nosferatu, he jumps out of a tall window instead of using the stairs, which causes him to be taken to a hospital. Hutter never makes the connection, or tells anyone, that the vampire is in their town. So, people die because he doesn't take action.
The story starts with Knock sending Hutter to Count Orlok in "the land of phantoms" to offer him a house across from Hutter's. I don't know if the phantoms are a metaphor or are real because the world seems like ours, which is why Nosferatu adds conflict to our normal world. Hutter even laughs at the idea that a creature like Nosferatu could exist. But, when Hutter goes to a tavern in Transylvania, they tell him to spend the night to take cover from the werewolves, something apparently common in the area. And, I don't really know how worldly people were in the 1920s, but instead of having someone in a silly costume, there are shots of a hyena since, I guess, it was a bizarre creature to the period's audience. I speculate that the filmmakers thought it would be taken more seriously, but all I thought was "poor hyena." I hope it is equity. So, we are led to believe that the supernatural exists, but once people start dying from a bite in the neck, everyone assumes plague first. Then, they quite randomly decide that Knock is a vampire since he kills a guard.
There are a couple of other plot holes that also rear their ugly heads. The townspeople are scared to go to Count Orlok's castle at first but regularly go there other times. Nosferatu also doesn't drink all of Hutter's blood the first chance he has, and, to be honest, he doesn't really need to sign the deed for the house in Hutter's town since he goes there without anyone knowing anyway. So, why doesn't he go there before? And, why does he take a ship to the town if he easily moves himself across land? Hutter gets there just as fast on foot as he does in water (a problem that even the film addresses in that they don't know how it is possible). As confusing as these flaws are, and as easily swayed the townspeople are, it doesn't distract from the enjoyment of the picture.
The effects for the time are really good. Despite being a black and white film, this version, still from 1922, includes filters that help determine the time of day: piss yellow for a lit space, blue for night (yet people can still see) and white or pink for early morning. Some of the frames are missing in time, so some scenes are choppy, including the stop motion. However, you can really appreciate what they were able to accomplish almost 100 years ago, especially when the doors and other objects flawlessly move on their own, thus giving a "not of this world" appearance. For example, the footage of the horse and carriage that carry Hutter to Nosferatu's castle is sped up to give the carriage unnatural speed. The idea is good, but it does look a little silly. It really makes you wonder what effects we use today are going to be dated 100 years from now. It was shot on location, which is a better choice than what some filmmakers do today in only using CGI. Practical effects look real guys, not just fake CGI sets.
My biggest problem, other than Hutter being a bit of an idiot, is the intertitles. There is a lot of reading, even for a silent film, to a point where we had to reread titles we had already read. I know this is a famous film, but I think my screenplay professor would faint at the amount of reading the audience had to do.
In the end, the film still really holds up. It's just not as flawless as people make it out to be. The slow moving atmosphere makes the intense scenes with Nosferatu all the more effective and enjoyable. And, Nosferatu is a quintessential villain. He is all knowing, telepathic, telekinetic, and is king of the night. I just wish a creature that powerful would be harder to kill and survive beyond the film. But, I did enjoy the development in Ellen's character in her willingness to sacrifice herself to kill Nosferatu. I just yearned for Hutter to grow a pair and take a stand as well. Anyway, I gotta grab another band-aid. I woke up this morning with two equally spaced holes around my neck. Stupid mosquitoes.

Metropolis: Alloy Orchestra Come to Cornell Cinema
By Catherine Hwang November 8, 2016
Created in 1927, Metropolis (dir. Fritz Lang) is a classic urban dystopian tale — we follow the story of Freder (Gustav Fröhlich), the son of the wealthy Joh Frederson (Alfred Abel), whose power and influence essentially keep the city running, and Maria (Brigitte Helm), a young woman who is a saint to the poor underground workers who keep the city's essential machinery running through long, tiring shifts.

Juan José Tortel Maschet (La Seine, Francia, 1763 - Valparaíso, Chile, 27 de noviembre de 1842) fue un marino francés que llegó a Chile en 1802 como piloto de la fragata mercante española "Unión" de la cual se desembarcó radicándose en el puerto de Valparaíso y dedicándose al comercio marítimo.

En 1810, cuando ocurrieron en Chile los acontecimientos que finalmente resultaron en su independencia del Imperio español, Tortel se puso voluntariamente a las órdenes de la Junta de Gobierno identificándose plenamente con la revolución. Fue nombrado Gobernador Marítimo de Valparaíso, recibió sus despachos de oficial de la Marina chilena y se le asignaron diversas tareas y el mando de buques de la naciente república. Por enfermedad se retiró del servicio naval en 1821. Falleciendo en Valparaíso en 1842.

Biografía

Traslado a Chile - primeros años
Juan José Tortel nació en 1763 en la localidad de La Seine, Francia, llegando a Valparaíso, Chile en 1802 como piloto de la fragata mercante española "Unión". Decidió radicarse en ese país y se dedicó a la actividad marítima. En 1804 fue contratado como capitán de la fragata "Jesús María" que realizaba el tráfico entre Valparaíso, El Callao y otros puertos intermedios y combatía las naves extranjeras que efectuaban contrabando. Ese mismo año contrajo matrimonio con la dama chilena doña Josefa Boza Astorga.

Carrera Naval - Participación en la independencia de Chile
Tortel mantenía su ciudadanía francesa, pero en 1810, cuando se estableció la Junta de Gobierno se identificó con la causa de la revolución poniéndose al servicio del nuevo gobierno.

Primer Capitán de Puerto de Valparaíso
La Junta de Gobierno lo nombró Capitán de Puerto de Valparaíso, siendo la primera persona en desempeñar tal puesto.

Nombramiento como oficial de la Marina de Chile
El 14 de abril de 1813, la Junta de Gobierno, "atendiendo al mérito, idoneidad  y  patriotismo en la causa de la libertad chilena", le otorgó los despachos de  Teniente de Navío de la Marina de Chile, con lo cual pasó a ser  el primer marino con nombramiento oficial. Ese mismo año armó dos goletas de su propiedad, la "Mercedes" y el "Poción", actuando como corsario contra las fuerzas españolas.

Durante la Reconquista española
En 1814, después del desastre de Rancagua, emigró a Mendoza siendo nombrado instructor de artillería de los oficiales chilenos que conformarían el Ejército Libertador. Después de la batalla de Chacabuco, el gobierno chileno volvió a designarlo Capitán de Puerto de Valparaíso.

Comandante de la primera fuerza naval chilena
En julio de 1817 se le entregó el mando de una flotilla compuesta por los bergantines "Aguila", "Araucano" y "Rambler" más la barca "María" destinada a romper el bloqueo de las naves españolas. Tortel era el comandante del "Rambler". Esta primera fuerza naval chilena cumplió plenamente su misión logrando mantener alejados de los puertos de Valparaíso y Talcahuano a los bloqueadores. Durante este tiempo continuó desempeñando el cargo de Gobernador Marítimo de Valparaíso.

Comandante de Marina interino
El 15 de octubre de 1817 el gobierno decidió separar los asuntos ralitivos a la marina que estaban a cargo del Gobernador Político y Militar de Valparaíso, creando el cargo de Comandante de Marina, y nombrando a Tortel en este puesto en forma interina.

Con fecha 26 de junio de 1818 la Junta de Gobierno decidió transformar la Comandancia de Marina en Comandancia General de Marina, con sede en Valparaíso, y para cuyo cargo nombró al capitán de marina de primera clase Manuel Blanco Encalada. En septiembre de 1818, Blanco Encalada hizo entrega de la Comandan General de Marina a Tortel quien tenía el grado de capitán de corbeta.

Comandante de los Arsenales de Marina
La Junta de gobierno le ordenó en diciembre de 1817 que creara un Arsenal de Marina cosa que hizo nombrndo un guardaalmacen para el puesto pero, ante las deficiencias y quejas de los comandantes de las naves, el 26 de enero de 1819 se designó el primer comandante de Arsenales, cargo que recayó en el mismo Tortel.

El 3 de diciembre de 1817 la Junta de Gobierno dispuso que Tortel se trasladase al astillero de Nueva Bilbao, en Constitución y contratase la construcción de seis lanchas cañoneras. De esta orden solo dos lanchas fueron construidas e incorpordas a la Marina.

Comandante de la fragata Chacabuco
Al zarpe de la Expedición Libertadora del Perú el 20 de agosto de 1820, a Tortel se le dio el mando de la corbeta "Chacabuco" nave de 450 toneladas y 20 cañones con la que bloqueó los puertos de Chiloé y Valdivia, protegiéndole las espaldas al Almirante Cochrane mientras éste operaba en el Perú.

Retiro - Últimos años
En 1821 con el grado de capitán de fragata graduado dejó el servicio naval por problemas de salud. En 1826 fue elegido diputado suplente del Congreso Nacional en representación de Valparaíso. En 1829 fue nombrado comandante de la Brigada de Artillería Cívica. Falleció en Valparaíso el 27 de noviembre de 1842 a los 76 años de edad.

Each text is broken up into small excerpts. The adapted excerpt with inserted literal English translation and brief lexical comments comes first. The original text follows untranslated with no prompts.
Those who have just begun learning a foreign language can first read the text with the prompts and later on, the same text without any prompts. If they forget the meaning of some word but understand the text in general, it is unnecessary to look for a translation in the adapted excerpt. They will come across this word more than once in the future. The exact purpose of the untranslated passage is that for some amount of time, no matter how short, the reader is "swimming on his own". When he has finished reading the original (unadapted) text, he should move on to the next adapted excerpt. And so on. There is no need to go back to review the material. One is just supposed to keep on reading.
Naturally, at first you will be overwhelmed by the torrent of unknown words and forms. Don't be discouraged: no one is testing anyone here. As you read (it may happen in the middle of the book or as you're approaching the end) everything will "fall right into place" and you'll probably be surprised: "Why do they provide the translation and the dictionary form of the word again when it's already clear!" When you reach the "underderstood without saying" level, it's worth changing the order in which you read: the unadapted excerpt first and the translated part second. (The same recommendation may be made to those who do not start learning a foreign language from scratch).
Language, by nature, is a means, not a goal. That's why it is best learned not when somebody sets a specific purpose of mastering it, but when it is being naturally used either in conversation or when a person becomes engrossed in reading something interesting. Then it is learned by itself, latently.
Our memory is closely related to what we are feeling at a particular moment; it depends on what condition our inner world is in, how "awake" we are right now (and not, for example, how many times we repeat a certain expression or how many exercises we do).
In order to remember we don't need to be frantically memorizing something, while half-asleep, or polishing certain skills. What we need is novelty of impressions. Instead of pronouncing the same word several times, it would be better if we saw it in different collocations and various contexts of meaning. The largest part of the most frequently used vocabulary will be memorized naturally, if you utilize the suggested reading method, due to the frequency of words. That's the reason why, having read the text, one doesn't have to try to memorize the new words. The "I won't move on until I've digested it" approach doesn't work here. The more intense the reading, the faster the person races ahead, the better. In this case, the more superficial, the more relaxed the manner of reading is, the better, strange as it may seem. Then the very volume of material starts to work for you; quantity turns into quality. Thus, the only thing that's required from a reader is reading not thinking about a foreign language as something that for some reason should be learned, but thinking about the content of the book.
If you read really intensively, the method should work. The biggest mistake anyone makes when studying a foreign language is that they do it little by little, not jumping into it head first. Language is not mathematics; one doesn't need to learn it, one needs to get accustomed to it. It's not about logic or memory; it's about experience and skill. It rather resembles a sport that one should practice according to a certain schedule, because otherwise there'll be no result. If you start reading in a foreign language at once and do it a lot, then fluency is only a matter of three or four months (for beginners). If you read little by little, it's just agonizing and slow. Language, in this sense, is akin to an icy hill – you have got to move fast if you want to get to the top of it. As long as you can't reach the top you'll be sliding down each time. If a person attains fluency in reading, they will never lose that skill or forget the vocabulary, even if they don't use it for several years.
What is one supposed to do about the grammar? Actually, in order to understand a text that contains such prompts, one does not need grammar – all will be clear anyway. Soon one becomes used to certain forms and the grammar is also learned latently. It is very much like when people who had never studied grammar but were put in a language environment, managed to master the language. I'm not saying this so that you keep away from grammar (it is very interesting and useful). The only point is that you could begin reading such books without being an expert on grammar; rudimentary knowledge would do. This kind of reading can be recommended at the earliest stage. Such books will help you overcome a very crucial barrier: you'll learn the vocabulary and get accustomed to the logic of the language while saving time and energy.

Obese Americans could be prioritized for coronavirus vaccine
Nov. 30, 2020 at 12:10 pm Updated Dec. 30, 2020 at 11:56 am
Scientists work on the coronavirus vaccine made by AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford in Oxford, England, Nov. 19, 2020. When CDC advisers meet Tuesday to discuss who should get coronavirus vaccines first, one population they may consider prioritizing is Americans who are obese — a major risk factor for severe COVID-19 that some experts say has gone underrecognized.(Andrew Testa/The New York Times)

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisers will meet Tuesday to discuss who should get coronavirus vaccines first.
One population they may consider prioritizing: Americans who are obese – a major risk factor for severe covid-19 that some experts say has gone underrecognized.
"Obesity was ignored for the longest time and overweight was completely ignored," said Barry Popkin, an obesity researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Now the CDC is talking about both, he said.
The agency has already laid out four groups that should be considered for priority: health-care personnel, workers in essential and critical industries, older adults, and people with certain underlying medical conditions – including "severe obesity." But it's unclear to what extent the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will prioritize this group.
There's been much discussion about how underlying medical conditions such as hypertension and Type 2 diabetes are associated with higher risk of dying from the coronavirus. But these conditions are most frequently found in people who are obese – making it difficult to discern whether the medical conditions or the obesity were the biggest factors at play.
More on the COVID-19 pandemic
Our collected COVID-19 news and resources
The evidence, Popkin argues, points to extra weight as a bigger risk factor than any individual comorbidity. That's because people who are overweight or obese have more body fat – which is more hospitable than other tissue to the coronavirus – and they suffer from reduced lung capacity.
"Being an individual with obesity independently increases the risk of influenza morbidity and mortality, most likely through impairments in innate and adaptive immune responses," according to a paper Popkin wrote over the summer, which analyzed 75 studies on the connection between covid-19 and body mass index.
Popkin and colleagues found that people with obesity were 113 percent more likely to be hospitalized, 74 percent more likely to be admitted to intensive care units and 48 percent more likely to die of covid-19.
The connection helps explain some of covid-19's impact on Black and Hispanic Americans, who have died at disproportionate rates from the disease and are also more likely than White Americans to be obese.
Great Britain is prioritizing its most obese population for vaccination. Its public health agency posted guidance last week saying that morbidly obese people – defined as those with a body mass index over 40 – should be prioritized for vaccines ahead of those younger than 65. This "at-risk" group also includes people with asthma, kidney disease and weakened immune systems.
But the prioritization doesn't extend to obese people who don't meet this threshold – despite the research showing they may still be at much higher risk for hospitalization, intubation and death from covid-19.
About 28 percent of British people are considered obese. Rates are even higher in the United States, where a record 42 percent of Americans now meet the obesity threshold.
The sense of urgency to get a vaccine approved and distributed is only intensifying.
The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices announced on Friday that it is holding an emergency meeting Tuesday, presumably due to the speed at which several drugmakers are moving to get their coronavirus vaccines approved by the Food and Drug Administration. A separate panel of advisers to the FDA will meet next week to consider a request from Pfizer for emergency approval, and Moderna has announced it will file a request for emergency use of its vaccine.
As record numbers of Americans test positive for the virus, health providers are bracing themselves for a post-Thanksgiving bump in cases that experts are calling a surge on top of a surge.
"What we expect, unfortunately . . . we might see a surge superimposed on the surge we're already in," Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Sunday on CNN.
"The holiday, which is typically one of the busiest travel periods of the year, fell at a particularly dire time in the pandemic," The Washington Post Sarah Kaplan reported. "Some 4 million Americans have been diagnosed with the coronavirus in November – twice the previous record, which was set last month. More than 2,000 people are dying every day. Despite that, over a million people passed through U.S. airports the day before Thanksgiving – the highest number of travelers seen since the start of the outbreak."
The weekend brought some bleak indicators. Hospitalizations in the United States exceeded 90,000 people for the first time on Thanksgiving Day. And experts warn it will only get worse in two or three weeks, when infections contracted during holiday travel turn into serious cases of covid-19.
"I fully expect on a national level we will see those trends continue of new highs in case counts and hospitalizations and deaths," Caitlin Rivers, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, told Kaplan.

Today's Game: Chicago Cubs (25-30) at Houston Astros (21-35), 1:05 p.m.
By Tom Martin Jun 6, 2010, 11:50am CDT
Share All sharing options for: Today's Game: Chicago Cubs (25-30) at Houston Astros (21-35), 1:05 p.m.
(Sports Network) -- The Chicago Cubs hope to build off a breakout performance on offense and claim a needed series win over the Houston Astros when the National League Central rivals conclude a three-game set today at Minute Maid Park.
Chicago's slumping lineup finally caught fire in last night's matchup, banging out 12 hits and getting home runs from Aramis Ramirez and Tyler Colvin to come through with an 8-5 triumph over the Astros. The victory halted a four-game losing streak in which the Cubs mustered a mere five runs total.
Ramirez finished 3-for-4 with two RBI on the night, with both Colvin and Koyie Hill collected two hits and knocking in a pair of runs. Marlon Byrd added three hits, including an RBI double, for the Cubs, who had lost six of their last eight coming in.
Maybe the most impressive fact about Chicago's long-awaited outburst was that it took place against Houston ace Roy Oswalt. The Cubs put up six runs on nine hits in the three-time All-Star's seven-inning stint.
"It's bound to happen in 35 starts, you're going to have some bad ones," said Oswalt, who fell to 3-8 on the season. "It doesn't matter if you lose 1-0 or 6-0, you still lose."
Ryan Dempster (4-5) was more effective for Chicago, allowing three runs on six hits and striking out seven over the first 6 1/3 innings to win for only the second time in his past eight starts.
"It's nice when guys put up a bunch of runs like that," Dempster said afterward. "It gives us all a lot of breathing room. Now we have a chance to go out and win a series."
Houston, which had been gunning for a season-high fifth straight win, got all of its runs off Dempster via the long ball. Humberto Quintero had a two-run homer as part of a 2-for-4 night, with Jeff Keppinger contributing a solo shot in a losing cause.
Chicago could have a tougher time generating offense in the finale, with Brett Myers slated to take the hill for the Astros. The offseason free-agent signee has pitched to a 2.41 earned run average over his last six starts and is coming off a season-high 10-strikeout performance against Washington this past Tuesday.
Myers received a no-decision in that game after allowing four runs, only one of which was earned, but held theNationals to just four hits in seven innings. The right-hander has pitched six innings or more in all 11 of his starts this season.
The former Philadelphia Phillie has also fared well when facing the Cubs over the course of his career, bringing a 7-3 record with a 2.63 ERA in 13 lifetime appearances (nine starts) into today's clash. In addition, the Astros have come out on top in five of his six trips to the Minute Maid Park mound in 2010.
Chicago counters with Randy Wells, who's best work this season has come in games on the road. The sophomore righty is 2-1 with a 3.15 ERA in six away outings so far this year and yielded three runs or fewer in all but one of those assignments.
Wells tossed five shutout innings in his most recent road test, a no-decision at Pittsburgh on Monday. That outcome came three days after he failed to record an out in a May 28 loss to St. Louis at Wrigley Field, with theCardinals battering him for five runs on six consecutive hits.
The Illinois native performed sensationally in three starts against the Astros as a rookie last season, going 2-0 and surrendering only one unearned run over a combined 20 innings. Each of those encounters took place in Chicago, however.
Houston took two of three from the Cubs when these teams squared off in Chicago from April 16-18, but have lost seven of the last 11 tilts between the clubs held at Minute Maid Park.

Sheng's world view: western neoliberalism 'bankrupt'
by David Marsh 30 March 2020
As central banks act, 'independence is a myth'
The long-term effects of the Covid-19 pandemic will be as much social and psychological as economic. A man who can comment on both – a globalist with a distinct Asian perspective – is Andrew Sheng, the pull-no-punches Hong Kong-based former central banker and financial regulator, weathering the storm in his native Malaysia.
Speaking from Penang, Sheng says a 'full-blown systemic crisis – an entangled production-consumption-income issue' undermines basic tenets of western society, exposing, in particular, fragilities in the US, without a developed safety net for poorer people. 'The neoliberal philosophy that has dominated the West is completely bankrupt. It has created a situation whereby 20% to 40% of the population is on the brink – living precariously, the precariat. If companies and small businesses cannot last beyond stalled cash flow of more than a month, what happens to unemployment and poverty levels?'
Sheng, who started his career at Bank Negara Malaysia, was deputy chief executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, chaired Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission and holds posts at several Chinese research centres and advisory boards, dismisses talk of 'win-lose' outcomes as evidence of a cold war mentality. He denounces 'conspiracy theories' about China's alleged quest to use dislocation to advance world leadership as 'stupid ideological nonsense'.
But he sees China's systemic approach to a medical emergency that emanated from Wuhan – now with a lead over other nations in curbing its reverberations – as giving it some longer-term advantages. This appears to strengthen long-avowed Chinese multilateralist orthodoxy as a foil to President Donald Trump's relentless unilateralism. 'This is a global crisis that takes whole-of-government, whole-of-society and whole-world cooperation to overcome. The blame game gets us nowhere. In this war, the common enemy is Covid-19, not each other.'
Sheng is not given to understatement. He sees a once-in-a-millennium crisis. 'We have never seen anything so devastating in terms of its profound effects on the global system – psychologically, emotionally, economically, socially, politically and geopolitically.'
In the short term, he says, 'everybody is hurt. China's numbers are down 20%, yet the Chinese policy-makers are not panicking. The Chinese have injected Rmb1.3tn ($180bn), or 1.2% of GDP, of fiscal measures, the Americans $2tn, or around 10% of GDP, plus there has been massive quantitative easing by all the North Atlantic central banks. The Chinese realise this is a long-haul pandemic war, so they have not cut interest rates down to zero.' US Covid-19 infections have overtaken China's. 'There are 53m Americans living on the edge of low income and maybe a quarter have no insurance at all. The damage from a prolonged lockdown to America economically, socially and politically will be unthinkable – which resulted in this massive stimulus package.'
It would be short-sighted to interpret Sheng's opinions as merely reflecting a Beijing worldview. His spicily delivered arguments provide an essential guide to what a large section of the world is now thinking – including about the credentials of the US president. 'I'm puzzled that [Trump's] rating has gone up, despite bungling tests for those infected, not listening to his experts, not getting enough medical supplies and still playing the cold war game. Calling this a China virus is to shift blame rather than confronting what needs to done. Trump began electioneering the day he became president. No Asian leader has ever shown that kind of characteristic.'
Asked about Trump's hopes of US semi-normality in April, Sheng retorts, 'No medical expert thinks that is likely. Millions will be infected if that happens, and thousands more may die. Miracles can happen, but he must be dreaming.'
He sees the 10 countries of the Association of South East Asian Nations as possible trade beneficiaries. 'As China has a huge domestic market that will still be important post-crisis, I think the trend towards China-Asean trade becoming even more integrated will continue.'
Sheng recognises the social impact of central banks taking widespread action to curb upsets. 'Central bank independence has always been a myth, like the emperor with no clothes. When push comes to shove, we have seen central banks funding government deficits carte blanche.' Injecting liquidity 'is the right short-term move because we are in wartime conditions of grave uncertainty. But quantitative easing has been increasingly interpreted as central banks funding the 1% through asset bubbles and taxing the savings of the middle and lower classes.' The US debate is about rescuing the corporations, the economy or the population. 'That's a tough call. If the "precariat" says the money is not coming to me, social revolution is the next call.'
'Quantitative easing will be broadened to include more unconventional assets. I predict that if the stock market drops more, more central banks will follow the Bank of Japan to intervene in equity-indexed exchange traded funds.' And this has inescapable conclusions for economic structures. 'At the rate central banks are buying up corporate debt securities, and if they buy into equities or guarantee student loans and mortgages, doesn't that become nationalisation but in name?'
David Marsh is Chairman of OMFIF.

"Don't worry when your game is not recognized, but strive for it to be worthy of recognition." ~Lincoln
Jack's Forehead Surgery
Time to fix that forehead once for all!
TheRpgmakerAddict
Today I played the third rpgmaker game dedicated to a youtuber: last year I played (and reviewed) Back to Felix, a game dedicated to Pewdiepie, then BoxxyQuest: The Gathering Storm... this year is instead time to play Jack's Forehead Surgery, a game about Jacksfilms, or John Patrick "Jack" Douglass.
This game was made with RPGMaker VX Ace by Josh Taylor alias asdfJosh with in one month, for the 2015 3rd #JacksChallenge. This game was probably inspired by Jacksfilms' video "FIX MY FOREHEAD", since it starts a tuesday afternoon in which John/Jack Douglass is going to a clinic for a forehead reduction.
Believe me, this special bread will become useful during the adventure!
BUT... guess what? Something happens, othwerwise there would be no adventure! The quirky staff of the clinic warns our protagonist that some monsters that live in the chemical waste dump under the clinic stole some important medical equipment that is needed for the surgical operation. Unfortunately Rick, the attendant that usually deals with the critters, is ill, so Jack can choose between waiting some days for the man to get better and come back to work, or having Dr. Green and Dr. Crawford use improvised tools. But no, he chooses another option: with Rick's equipment he'll try to heroically recover the needed items by himself!
So the valiant Jack takes a communicator, Rick's rifle and stale bread, swallows a pill that should protect him (I hope so!) from the radioactivity of the rubbish dump, and finally descends the stair into the unknown. Well, apparently most of these do not creatures seems to be too dangerous, like the Immobile Drooling Flora or the Harmless Living Waste... but who knows that else lives there!
Remember to use the special hi-tech rifle to attack, that is listed as an item, not equipment or special ability (so you need to open the items menu to attack)!
Jack's Forehead Surgery is a quite short adventure game that will take about 25 minutes from the beginning to the end. I call it adventure game because it's not a horror game (no chase sections or exploration), not an rpg (there is no party, no experience levels and battles aren't combat encounters in the traditional sense),and not a puzzle game (even if there are some tasks but they're more "find the items -> use it here"). The game just consist in exploring few rooms to find the needed items to progress and solve some tasks interacting with the scenarios. Battles are just "use the right item in your turn to win, because creatures are immune to standard attacks, and apparently they also always miss. I won't complain!
Ok, visually the game uses a ton of RTPs and other classic RPGMaker VX Ace assets, but there are also some custom made facesets, like those of Jack and Jaden Smith (oh yes, there's also him in this game!) made by the developer. Even if these are photos that obviously clash with the rest of the anime-styled RPGMaker VX Ace sprites, I must admit that the protagonist, Jack, has a ton of different expressions and these are well used through the adventure. Moreover there are lots of interactions, even with useless items like the dog of a vending machine that only sells tomato soup! Uhm ok.
Mapping is ok, overly spacious rooms and sewers aside, at least there are no mapping errors and no mapping orrors, no random encounters (well all encounters are fixed, but again, this is a small adventure game even if it's in Rpgmaker!).
Concerning music and sounds it's all RTP except for the theme of the main menu, in any case, nothing new, nothing special... but also nothing bad.
But you will! Because you absolutely have to fight that thing if you want the desired forehead reduction!
Jack's Forehead Surgery is a little comedy adventure scenario clearly made in a few time for an event, so I could not expect much, but I think everyone will agree that this is a game that despite offering nothing new or special is at least solid, has no bugs, typos or cut dialogues. Is it good? Well that's subjective, for me it was ok, considering the premise and the reason why this was created.

Spencer Suderman breaks The Inverted Flat Spin World Record with 81 turns Featured
Written by Ingrid Font
Spencer Suderman, an Airshow performer from United States, broke the Guinness Book of the World Records for the most successive inverted flat spins on board of his Pitts S-2B at Naval Air Facility El Centro, in California (EUA).
Suderman completed 81 turns from 23,000 ft. and recovered it at 2,000 ft. over the California desert. This was his third attempt to beat the previous record that was set in 1999 by Wayne Handley, an airshow legend, who did 78 turns. The attempt was performed in March 13th and during the last week he got the official confirmation from the judges.
Inverted Flat Spin
He trained hard to beat this record for a long time. This flight and all of its preparations were a data driven exercise in the research and development of the aircraft configuration, pilot performance, problem solving and flight safety.
His two previous efforts resulted in 64 and 77 turns performed in March 2011 and December 2013. Suderman explained before his third attempt: " It would probably be my last because after a while your credibility wears pretty thin when you don't do what you say and I really felt like I owed them a world record for all they have done for me over the years".
Given this success, Suderman concluded that the secret is to find a way to climb higher and spin faster, taking into account, "that the plane rotates at a constant rate but falls quicker in the higher altitudes due to the thinner air".
Spencer Suderman explains us in Snap&Roll all the conclusions he got from his experience after breaking the inverted flat spins World Record. To read the full article visit http://snap-and-roll.com/articles/others/item/644-inverted-flat-spin-world-record-third-time-is-a-charm.html

Viktor Gyokeres leaving returning to Brighton from Swansea… and then moving to another Championship club
Some very interesting information on the future of Viktor Gyokeres is brought by Swedish outlet Fotboll Direkt today.
The website reports that the striker is being called back from his loan spell at Swansea City, for whom he made 15 appearances this season.
His time back at Brighton & Hove Albion, however, won't last long. It's said the Seagulls will immediately loan him out to another Championship side.
The name of the club couldn't be revealed, although Fotboll Direkt's sources claim it's one of the 'most respected' sides in the second tier, and he could even make his debut at the weekend.
The report also claims that Malmo were close to signing the 22-year-old, and even had a personal agreement with Gyokeres. That deal, however, is now 'cracked' as the player is continuing his career in English football.
It's pointed that Legia Warsaw made an attempt to sign him on a permanent deal, but Brighton were demanding something around £1.5m, and the deal never happened.
Signed by the Seagulls in a €1m deal from Swedish side Brommapojkarna back in 2016, Gyokeres has already had loans at St. Pauli and Swansea City, and now seems to be going for his third consecutive spell.

Do my gi pants make me look fat?
Anyway, I digress. Though honestly I can't remember from where I began without reading the first part. Such is my life. I have to use my iPhone to keep track of most things. Do you find that to be true for you as well?
I think that is a decent first post. The educator in wants to read, correct, reread, and correct it one more time before submitting this to the Great Ether of the Internet. The rest of me says, "You need to do the laundry, pay the dojo bills, walk the dog, feed the baby, check on the middle one, listen in on the eldest one, do the dishes…" Ah well, the rest of me outvoted the educator.

» The counter response from Japanese government to UN report
After the release of the report by UN Special Rapporteur Anand Grover, Japanese government published the counter statement. According to Japanese government, the Special Rapporteur misunderstood many points but the request of changes before the release of the report was not accepted much.
For example, the Special Rapporteur questioned about the assessment to the health aspects of radiation exposure. Japanese government, however, says that there is no problem since it follows the international safety standards of ICRP ( International Commission on Radiological Protection) . Mr. Takashi Okada, Geneva International Organizations Representative Ambassador expressed his regret at UN Human Right Council, "even though we have pointed out the misunderstandings from scientific and the legal point of view, but it is not reflected in the report."
