Principles and institutional arrangements for better policy design : Brazil's productivity implementation agenda - ideas, rent seeking, and institutions (English)
The previous chapters have suggested that many policy-induced distortions constrain productivity and development in Brazil. As a result, a significant number of potential policy reforms could increase competition and thereby stimulate innovation and productivity growth. ... See More + These policies could also promote economic and social inclusion. Therefore, it is somewhat of a paradox that after many decades of debate on policies to promote development and a large volume of public resources spent, it appears so difficult to develop and implement successful policies. This chapter suggests that many of the currently-implemented policies failed because they have an intellectual justification rooted in distorted versions of development theory, or a misplaced vision of national security and self-sufficiency. The combination of interests with misleading intellectual justifications means that for reasons of history and political economy, adopting improved policies for productivity is very difficult. Even though the overall objective of growth is a nationally-shared aspiration, individual policy interventions have rarely had clear objectives. See Less -

Morocco - First and Second Transparency and Accountability Development Policy Loans Project (English)
Ratings for the First and Second Transparency and Accountability Development Policy Loans Project for Morocco were as follows: outcomes were moderately satisfactory, risk to development outcome was significant, Bank performance was moderately satisfactory, and Borrower performance was moderately satisfactory. ... See More + Some lessons learned included: The time period following the ratification of a new Constitution offers a strong opportunity to make far reaching reforms and should be aggressively seized. A cautious approach on reforms should be resisted if there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for reform and instead front load reforms to the extent possible. A continued strong policy dialog between the Bank and the Government is important to ensure sustainability of reforms. Program design may help reduce the risk of lack of follow-through on implementation byassigning a results indicator to actions which might not necessarily have an impact. The use of global or composite results indicators should also be carefully considered and/or qualified as necessary. Program design and relevance can be enhanced when multiple donors work together on a joint reform program. A strong communication plan is necessary to win public support particularly when the reforms include behavioral changes because they need a sustained and strong demand to realize full implementation and impact. It is a good practice to provide complementary TA for a reform program, particularly one that entails many changes in the basic workings of government. See Less -

Nicaragua - Property Rights Strengthening Project (English)
The development objective of the Property Rights Strengthening Project for Nicaragua is to provide beneficiaries in selected municipalities with: (a) updated and integrated cadastral and property registry information; and (b) improved land administration services. ... See More + Project design reflects the progress achieved by Nicaragua over two phases of PRODEP implementation, emphasizing the need to ensure that the Project will help establish a functioning and sustainable land administration system, and sufficient capacity among the country's land agencies and municipalities to deal with remaining issues. Accordingly, Project design centers around three strategic themes: (i) fine-tuning the institutional and policy framework and integrating systems; (ii) expanding cadastral, regularization and titling services to the central region of the country; and (iii) strengthening of municipal capacities for land administration and territorial planning. The Project includes five Components. The first four Components are directly related to outcomes (a) and (b), while Component 5, consistent with the strategic approach taken for Nicaragua, corresponds to potential support for immediate emergency recovery. First component, institutional and policy framework and system integration will strengthen Nicaragua's land administration system by supporting key policy consolidation and inter-institutional coordination and collaboration, and furthering the integration of the cadastre and property registry information and streamlining of processes. Second component, castrate, regularization and titling services will support the production of cadastral information and the recording and clarifying of land rights through systematicand on-demand land regularization, including issuance of legal documents as well as new titles and their registration. The systematic process will continue to focus on beneficiaries belonging to the "reformed sector." On-demand activities will focus on beneficiaries prioritized by government programs, including small producers not belonging to the reformed sector. Third component, municipal land administration services will strengthen land administration capacities at the municipal level to promote their effective performance in the national cadastral system, as well as the better use of information for local planning and fiscal purposes, disaster risk management and overall development. In the medium term, this Component will contribute to enhancing the impact of cadastral information and the sustainability of cadastral investments; Fourth component, project management, monitoring and evaluation will support PGR, and its PCU, to manage the Project and to monitor its progress and evaluate it; Fifth component, Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC) reflecting the strategic approach taken in Nicaragua across the Bank's portfolio, this Component will provide immediate response to an eligible emergency. As such, in the event of such eligible emergency (as defined in the CERC Operational Manual already prepared and adopted by the government), and at the request of the government, the Component would finance emergency activities and expenditures through the reallocation of funds from the Project.

Nepal - First Programmatic Fiscal and Public Financial Management Development Policy Credit Project (English)
The proposed operation will support the Government of Nepal (GoN) in its efforts to establish a framework to move towards fiscal federalism and improve public financial management.Nepal is at a historic juncture where it is establishing a federal democratic republic based on the 2015 Constitution.This Development Policy Credit (DPC) series is a key component of the World Bank's support to federalism.With a focus on the fiscal and PFM aspects, this DPC series lays down the foundation for the new federal state, and will help mitigate the country's elevated risk of fragility and conflict.The current three-year 14th Periodic Plan and the Socio-Economic Development Strategy (2030) aim to achieve graduation from least developed country status by 2022 and transition to middle-income status by 2030. ... See More + The periodic plan guides the annual budget, while the 2030 Strategy is a guide to achieving longer-term goals. Some of the key areas that these strategies prioritize include job creation, urban development, investment in connectivity and infrastructure, improvements in human capital, strengthening of public service delivery, and improved PFM. The proposed operation supports the government's efforts in some of these areas, including strengthened public service delivery (through the move to a federal structure) and improvements in PFM.The proposed operation supports the government's transition from a centralized to a federal structure and reforms that enhance PFM. The operation is fully consistent with the government's three year periodic plan and the 2030 Strategy. It is the first in a programmatic series of two operations and is organized under two pillars: (i) establish a framework to move towards federalism, and (ii) improve the policy framework for PFM.First pillar is to implement fiscal federalism the Parliament has approved the Intergovernmental Fiscal Arrangement Act which provides the legal framework for resource allocation among the three tiers of government. Second pillar is to improve the policy framework for public financial management is to strengthen public financial management systems, the MoF has: (i) integrated all public financial management systems onto one platform - Public Financial Management Information System and (ii) provided access to the PFMIS to all federal ministries.Nepal was the first country in the South Asia region to implement Medium-term Expenditure Frameworks (MTEFs), which was then discontinued.addition, while the federal government's annual budget is anchored in the national development plan, the same is not true for the local governments due to the absence of local plans.Finally, in addition to the above reforms to support better budget preparation, an overarching legislation to govern fiscal policy will be necessary to ensure fiscal prudence.

Mali - Project to support grassroots initiatives to fight hunger and poverty (English)
Ratings for the Mali: Project to support grassroots initiatives to fight hunger and poverty are as follows: Outcome was moderately unsatisfactory, Risk to development outcome was high, Institutional development impact was N/A, World Bank performance was moderately unsatisfactory, and Borrower performance was satisfactory. ... See More + Lessons from the project include: (i) Projects that seek to "improve living conditions" need to define, benchmark, and measure a project's attributable contribution to changes in human welfare. Measuring access to assets is an insufficient metric. (ii) Private productive investments should not be relied on to finance the operations and maintenance of core public services provided by World Bank–financed projects when local revenue recovery is not feasible. (iii) A pilot project should be designed to generate lessons: its M&E system should therefore double as a learning lab to test and adapt interventions within the country and sector context.

How to address constraints underlying gender disparities in Mongolia's labor market (English)
As emphasized in Toward Gender Equality in East Asia and the Pacific: A Companion Report to the World Development Report (World Bank 2012), gender inequality in access to economic opportunities, earnings, and productivity persists across East Asia and the Pacific. ... See More + These disparities include wage gaps and the concentration of women and woman-led enterprises in less-remunerative jobs and sectors. This is problematic for at least three reasons. First, utilizing the full potential ofwomen in the labor market would likely result in greater macroeconomic efficiency, all other factors being equal. Second, jobs can serve as direct instruments for the development and empowerment of women. Third, expanding opportunities for women in the labor market has the potential to produce tremendous positive spillovers on women's overall agency, control, and power. See Less -

External Oversight of Supreme Audit Institutions : Who Audits the Auditor? (English)
Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) are the highest national authorities responsible for overseeing and holding governments to account for their use of public resources. ... See More + A broad-based consensus underscores their importance to public sector accountability and good governance. The contribution of SAIs to good governance is twofold (see box). As part of the public sector accountability system, SAIs reinforce the effectiveness of bodies responsible for government policy, expenditure, and public financial management. Second, through their audit work, they assess policy implementation, assure the compliance of policy makers, and provide "evidence of the performance of the machinery of government" (OECD 2011, 13–14). But, who oversees the auditor and how? Arrangements for scrutinizing the work of SAIs are determined by constitutional and legislative frameworks and differ from country to country. A new international framework offers guidelines for developing oversight systems and procedures. This Governance Note examines international standards and monitoring tools for external oversight of SAIs and illustrates practices from 21 member countries across Regions of the World Bank.

Innovating Bureaucracy for Increasing Government Productivity (English)
Improving government productivity is one of themain challenges of economic development. Althoughconsensus exists around the core policies needed fordeveloping countries to achieve equitable growth andreduce extreme poverty, government capability toimplement them and achieve the desired outputs fora given set of inputs varies across both countries andpolicy domains within countries.policy domains within countries. ... See More + Research underlines the importance of the qualityof bureaucracy for government productivity. First, government productivity must be robustly measured to effectively explore its determinants. Second, much better information on the human capital of government—the numbers, skills, and characteristics of the individuals populating the bureaucracy—is the most crucial factor in the government production function. Third, moving beyond these inputs, a transition is needed from thinking about government productivity as a "capacity building" problem to an incentives, motivation, and selection problem for managing the workforce. Fourth, understanding motivation and selection requires grappling with the politics of public administration. And finally, digital technologies offer considerable opportunities forinnovating bureaucracy, although viewing technology as a silver bullet is a temptation to avoid. See Less -

Global trade : slowdown, factors, and policies (English)
Growth in global trade has been slow since 2012. While global trade downturns are not unprecedented, the observed change in the relationship of trade to GDP poses the question whether the trade slowdown is a transitory deviation or a more long-lasting phenomenon brought about by structural changes. ... See More + This new dynamic, coupled with the rise of protectionist policies and rhetoric in many countries, positions trade at the forefront of policy discussions. This brief reviews recent patterns in global trade, examines the factors affecting trade—distinguishing between transitory and structural components of the slowdown—and discusses policies shaping the path of future trade.

GA Mom Charged With DUI After Driving Son to School, Passing Out
On behalf of Daniels & Rothman, P.C. posted in DUI on Thursday, June 10, 2010.
A Georgia mom is in the Miller County Jail on DUI charges after driving her son to summer school while under the influence of drugs. Barbara Thornton was arrested by Quitman County Sheriff's deputies Wednesday after employees of the Big Cat gas station about a half mile from the school called to report a woman passed out in her car in their parking lot.
The employees say that the 34-year-old Georgetown woman pulled into the lot and almost hit the car of the station's owner. Then she almost struck a pole before coming to a stop. Employees found her passed out in her car and called police when they couldn't rouse her.
Thornton told sheriff's deputies that she had taken her son to summer school and was trying to get home again. Sheriff's deputies reported that she had severely slurred speech and was drifting in and out of consciousness. She told authorities she had taken medicine. Thornton was impaired to such a degree that she could not take a field sobriety test.
Thornton refused to give deputies a sample of her blood or urine, so her driver's license was automatically suspended. Sheriff's deputies were dismayed that Thornton would drive a car, let alone with her child as a passenger, in that condition, when she could barely even keep her eyes open. They say it is lucky that no one was hurt or killed that morning on the way to school.
Thornton pleaded guilty in March to possession of cocaine and was sentenced to probation, according to Quitman County Superior Court records.

My Opinion > Do not expect lockdown to end after April 14, situation demands it should continue
Do not expect lockdown to end after April 14, situation demands it should continue
Rajat Sharma | April 08, 2020
With the end of the 21-day nationwide lockdown fast approaching (April 14), there have been numerous queries as to whether the lockdown will be extended. Many people are stuck, away from their families because of the lockdown. Millions of daily wage and migrant labourers are waiting for factories to reopen.
Chief Ministers of Telangana, Tamil Nadu, UP and Maharashtra have called for extending the lockdown. Of course, the final call will be taken by the Prime Minister after he makes an assessment of various factors in front of him. He is the best judge in the present circumstances.
But I can tell you, do not expect the lockdown to end after completion of three weeks. It's more likely to continue. Hotspots like Noida, Mumbai, Indore and Bhopal, where the number of cases are on the rise may witness even a more severe lockdown. We should be prepared to face such an eventuality.
The situation has been worsened by hundreds of workers of Tablighi Jamaat, potential carriers of the virus, going underground and police in different states are trying their best to trace them. Punjab chief minister Capt. Amarinder Singh on Tuesday issued a 24-hour ultimatum to all underground workers of Jamaat to either come out or face criminal charges.
In the national capital, the Coronavirus figures would have been under control but for the Tablighi Jamaat. Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal is doing his best and is fully cooperating with the Centre to contain the spread of the virus. He is particularly worried about scores of Jamaat workers who have gone into hiding. The number of Coronavirus cases in Delhi has touched 550 with 25 new cases coming in and two deaths reported on Tuesday. This number could have been on the lower side if the Jamaat incident had not happened.
Kejriwal says, his government is making preparations to handle up to 30,000 Coronavirus cases. Other state governments are also making plans, but the sooner the potential carriers of the virus are quarantined, the better it will be for the rest of the people. Two hotspots, Dilshad Garden and Nizamuddin, have been completely sealed off as of now.
Reports of Tablighi Jamaat workers creating unruly scenes in Delhi's Narela and UP's Firozabad have come in. At the quarantine centre in Narela, some of the workers urinated in bottles and poured it on the floor, while several others defecated in the corridor. At the Firozabad district hospital, Jamaat workers spitted on the windows and walls and the local authorities had to take stern action.
I again appeal to the Tablighi Jamaat leaders to rein in their workers, ask them to come out of hiding, and follow quarantine rules. Timely treatment of Covid-19 will save their workers and their contacts, otherwise India will have to face the full brunt of the pandemic, with thousands of deaths taking place every day.

Use a voice actor. Pay a voice actor. That's the rule, and it's a good one. What that means practically is that even the guy who says, "Previously on Gargoyles" needs to be paid for that episode. Or rather, we won't use someone to say "Previously on Gargoyles" unless that actor is already appearing in the episode, because we don't want to pay someone JUST to say "Previously on Gargoyles..." Now, if you know that one fact, then when you hear our good friend Thom Adcox saying "Previously on Gargoyles" at the beginning of the episode, then it's a pretty safe bet that Lexington is going to appear... and yet, as the episode begins, it seems, at least by this time, to be a fairly standard World Tour Adventure: Goliath, Elisa, Angela & Bronx in the exotic locale of the week. So where in the world (since it ain't gonna be Guatemala) is Lexington going to pop in?
The origins of this episode ("The + [one word title]" attributable to me) come from two semi-competing desires. 1) I wanted to make sure we hit every continent, including South America on the World Tour. And I believed that the stunning visual image of Quetzacoatl, the Flying Serpent was another great inspiration for a Gargoyle character. 2) Frank felt strongly that we had not seen enough of Hudson & the Trio during the Tour. I'll admit, as I have before, that I underestimated their popularity and probably overestimated -- at least at the time -- the interest in our little odyssey 'round the world. But even then, I could see Frank's point. I didn't want to not do our Mayan adventure, so Cary & I constructed a story that would give us an interesting experience in the Green, but would also bring us back to the deep purples of Lex & Broadway's Manhattan.
"Have I mentioned how much I hate Gargoyles."
"If a tree falls in the forest... do I get to hear it scream?"
Zafiro had a good line too: "There's no such thing as a few trees."
And Goliath: "What's left of their world is rapidly dwindling."
And Morgan (to an unconscious Hyena): "You have the right to remain silent."
My kids wanted to know.
First off it's hot. Elisa takes off her jacket, revealing her (in this instance) short-sleeve black t-shirt. Even this slight clothing change for her comes off as exciting to me.
Second, it's full of potential herbal medicines, admirably demonstrated by Obsidiana.
Third, it's got Obsidiana. And Turquesa and Jade and the amazingly designed Zafiro. And the revelation, that long ago, Gargoyles were everywhere in the world. In hindsight, I wish that all four characters had had the serpentine lower body. Though I'm glad that only Zafiro had the feathered wings and snake-like head. There's a great Mayan/Aztec flavor to all four gargs. And you wouldn't believe the trouble we had figuring out their names. Now they seem so right. But we went through many permutations, before figuring them out. I think at one point, Zafiro was named Jose.
Fourth, it's got that cool pyramid.
Fifth, it's got amulets which defy the basic Day/stone dynamic. We had some fun with that. And my son Benny liked seeing them alive in the morning. It was different.
Sixth, what didn't get mentioned was Oxygen. I had a line in there which talked about the dilemma of losing the rain forest on the basic level of how much of our oxygen it produces. I felt that was a VERY important message. Frank felt it was preachy. I lost that battle, or ceded it or something. But the line's not in there.
Elisa is accepted fairly easily by the Mayan Clan. Obsidiana takes a particular shine to her. Despite having undergone a Wyvernesque massacre, none of the Mayan gargs have a knee-jerk negative reaction to humans. And certainly nothing on the level of what Elisa had just experienced in New Olympus.
DID YOU NOTICE THE HOMAGE?
To THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN & THE BIONIC WOMAN? I think we did some cool things with Hyena's bionic ear and Jackal's seven-figure eye.
Also, Jackal has a built in hair dryer?
And there's a moment in the museum when Hyena activates her rear jetpacks, when both my kids and my wife thought that she had "rocket-boobies". The shot switches from front to back, and her jets emerge from bionic shoulder blades. But if you miss the camera-angle switch, it can certainly look briefly as if her breasts have become rocket powered. Top that Lyndsey Wagner!
Just a taste of him here. He's largely a place-holder. A bad employer of our two bad villains. But we tried to make even this little bit of Vogel interesting. He's still somewhat morally-challenged. And he reveals that he has gained more responsibility as Renard's affliction has worsened.
This episode is, by the way, loaded with references to OTHER World Tour episodes. That's supposed to be a no-no. We couldn't guarantee that they would all air in order within the World Tour Tier, i.e. between the AVALON Three-Parter and the GATHERING Two-Parter. But I guess, we had some confidence that "The Green" would air after "Golem", after "Grief", etc.
I love how they disagree with each other without losing respect or concern for each other. It's so DAMN mature.
Yep, we're knocking down and burning down the rain forest right & left (in an attempt to save it by influencing public opinion, no less). But we also trash another museum. I was SO cavalier about it at the time, but when I see that Mammoth skeleton go down now, I cringe.
Cool amulet though. It rolls. It frisbees with a great sound effect. Since we had the NYC plot ending -- before the Guat-plot ended -- with Hyena's defeat, we wanted to maintain some suspense. So we have Broadway and Lex come to the incorrect but believable conclusion that the Amulet must be destroyed. Fortunately, they decided to confiscate it instead. And, yes, it survives the destruction of the Clock Tower in Hunter's Moon. Then back in Guatemala, we have Obsidiana lose her amulet so that we could see her in stone and wonder if Broadway had destroyed it so that all four Mayan gargs would be sleeping.
Speaking of Hyena's defeat, she goes down after a head injury. In today's world of S&P there's no way we would be allowed to give her that head injury in the first place.
Seventh, I hope, without getting TOO preachy, it managed to teach a lesson. Erin thought so. Which is perhaps good enough for me.

Sex Crimes Land Monterey Park Police Officer in Prison
A judge sentenced a former Monterey Park police officer to prison for sex crimes he committed on duty. According to prosecutors, Israel Sanchez sexually assaulted several women while on duty between July 2014 and August 2014.
In March, a jury found Sanchez guilty of five counts of sexual battery by restraint, five counts of assault under color of authority, three counts of false imprisonment by violence and one count of soliciting a bribe. In addition to a nearly eight-year prison term, the judge also ordered Sanchez to lifetime registration as a sex offender.
The Monterey Park Police Department turned the investigation over to the Long Beach Police Department. According to Long Beach investigators, Sanchez encountered his victims during traffic stops over a three week period, and ordered them to expose themselves. Sanchez held one woman for more than two hours. Two of the victims also claim that Sanchez touched them after ordering them to expose themselves. His victims ranged in age between 19 and 28.

That means your chances of finding the highest quality representation diminish significantly. Don't settle for an attorney who doesn't want to fight for you.
Instead, work with an attorney who wants to take your case and will manage every aspect of your defense personally. You need an attorney who will fight aggressively for you throughout the judicial process.
Contact Robert Helfend or call toll-free at (800) 834-6434, (310) 456-3317, (818) 591-2809 or (805) 273- 5611 for an immediate consultation on your Los Angeles County sex crimes case.

As Gun Sales Continue To Soar, Ammo Becomes Scarce
We are not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with the U.S. military or the Department of Defense
The COVID-19 pandemic stimulated the United States guns and ammo market. As gun sales continue to soar, ammo is becoming more scarce. This ordeal is impacting law enforcement agencies, recreational shooters, personal protection seekers, and hunters.
Weapon manufacturers say they are trying to produce ammunition as quickly as possible to keep up with demand. However, many gun stores' ammo storages are empty, and prices keep rising.
Due to the pandemic, there has been a rise in social turmoil and violent crime, inspiring millions to buy guns for protection. Also to take up shooting for sport.
"We have had a number of firearms instructors cancel their registration to our courses because their agency was short on ammo or they were unable to find ammo to purchase," said Jason Wuestenberg, executive director of the National Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors Association.
Doug Tangen, a firearms instructor at the police academy Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission, said the academy is having trouble obtaining ammo.
"A few months ago, we were at a point where our shelves were nearly empty of 9mm ammunition," he said. In response, instructors took steps to conserve ammo. They started reducing the number of shots fired in each drill, which got them through several months until fresh supplies arrived, Doug Tangen said.
The industry trade group National Shooting Sports Foundation says over 50 million people participate in shooting sports in the US. They sold an estimate of nearly 20 million guns in 2020. Eight million of them were first-time buyers.
"When you talk about all these people buying guns, it really has an impact on people buying ammunition… If you look at 8.4 million gun buyers, and they all want to buy one box with 50 rounds. That's going to be 420 million rounds," said spokesman Mark Oliva.
"Where there is an increased sense of instability, fear, and insecurity, more people will purchase guns," said Ari Freilich of the Gifford Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.

My LD secret santa gift arrived today! I've got no idea who's it's from – there's nothing in or on the package to identify the sender, except an Irish stamp. What's inside?
Gave up on yesterday's project (for now!) so that I could have something finished for the deadline!
Probably won't finish this game this weekend.
Here's a final playable build, from what I had finished up last night! I decided to embrace that placeholder music and use the rest of the loops from the game it's from, which, as it turns out, is kinda thematically similar to what I've got in mind.
Doesn't look like I'm going to be ready to submit to either the compo or the jam, but I'll keep working on this tomorrow and try to finish it up next week. Spent most of today working on battle stuff. I really like where this is going.
Good look to everyone rushing to submit something tonight!
Really happy with how this is coming along. I want to focus on story stuff tomorrow, so I'm going to try and get the basic game working completely today – which means moving onto the RPG stuff right away.
You can walk around and that's pretty much it so far. Refresh to generate a new level if you start stuck in a wall.
My maze generator is starting to actually make interesting levels!
My idea is to make a dungeon crawler where you equip your defeated enemies. For example, defeating a Vampire allows you to equip his fangs, and so on.
Really looking forward to Ludum Dare this weekend! Haven't a clue what I'm going to make yet, or what I'll end up using to make it. I only really have one goal, this time: I wanna do something somewhat technically challenging, for once. I'm thinking possibly some procedurally generated content, if I can shoehorn it into the theme somehow.
Ludum Dare Jam, Live at CB2 Bistro this weekend!
Hello again! Last Ludum Dare the Cambridge Friendship Club held a meetup in CB2 bistro, Cambridge, England, to work on our Ludum Dare entries together. We're planning to do again for this Ludum Dare! You are very welcome to join us! Cambridge is just a short 45 minute train trip from London.
Hi Ludum Darers! There's a game challenge starting tomorrow that I thought some people here might be interested in – RPGDX's Alternate History RPG Challenge.
Participants have one week to make an RPG that explores the theme Alternate History. It's very informal; there's no voting and collaborations are encouraged! More info here.

Der Arısama Dağı ist ein Berg und ein antiker Siedlungsplatz im Norden des Landkreises Emirgazi der Provinz Konya. Der Arısama Dağı liegt 2 km nordöstlich der Kreisstadt und ist 1446 oder 1425 m hoch. Im Volksmund heißt der Berg auch Kel Dağ (kahler Berg), Kötü Dağ (böser Berg), Boz Dağ (grauer Berg) oder schlicht Emirgazi Dağı, i.e. Emirgazi-Berg. Auf seiner Westflanke gibt es Überreste einer alten Kaserne und im nordöstlichen Abschnitt Ruinen von Zisternen. Auf dem Arısama, genauer auf dem Kale Tepesi, befinden sich die Reste einer alten Festungsanlage, die Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts Keçi Kalesi (Ziegenburg) genannt wurde. Diese Burg war Teil einer Kette von Festungen, die Sichtverbindung hatten und der Übermittlung von Nachrichten dienten. In der Umgebung wurden fünf Rundaltäre aus der Zeit des hethitischen Großreichs im 2. Jahrtausend v. Chr. gefunden. Sie trugen einen identischen Text, der sich auf einen heiligen Berg Šarpa bezieht. Der Hethitologe John David Hawkins identifiziert diesen Berg mit dem Arısama Dağı. Der heutige Name des Berges soll auf eine hethitische Siedlung Ardistama zurückzuführen sein. Die früheste schriftliche Erwähnung dieses Namens wurde durch Ptolemäus überliefert. Das etwa drei Kilometer östlich liegende Dorf Belkaya am Fuße der Erhebung trug bis in die Zeit der Republik Türkei diesen Namen.

Auf einer offiziellen Karte aus dem Jahr 1957 war der Arısama Dağı als Karacadağ verzeichnet.

New study shows time is the new consumer currency—what's the impact on brands?
I was in Italy in the middle of summer, and it was hot. The Italian fashion brand I was meeting up with had gotten this idea that it would be great to add some "digital marketing" for their re-launch of their most iconic product ever. The problem was just that the launch was less than a week away. I wanted to help them get the word out, but how?
The game came and gone (pretty low scoring one if I say so myself!) but what brings together many professionals across social media and marketing together: The Super Bowl Ads ! I always love to see what is launched, discussed, and highlighted not just during the game, but also for the commercials.
The evolution of PR and communications, including the tools we use, the methods in which we measure its efficacy and the ways we cut through the clutter to share our stories, was front-and-center on the minds of communications professionals throughout the past year.
Every brand wants more earned media, but, too often, these well-meaning brands go about it in all the wrong ways.

Retweeting lousy links, mindlessly pasting across platforms and using useless hashtags can undermine your credibility. Today's savvy social media users are expert in finding (and pointing out) mistakes. They are also quite good at detecting half-hearted effort, which is a major digital turnoff.

People will say they dislike advertisements because of the disruptive nature of them. It's a bit of a bait and switch – a publisher teases you in with a headline or promising show – and then shoves a commercial in your face.
In a PR world driven by efficiency and profit margins, it can be tempting to fall back on tech to deliver—often at the expense of true storytelling.
Some marketers aren't afraid to take a risk on new ideas, push leadership on new technology or champion an entirely new methodology. They are often the ones that drive real, lasting change and quickly gain influence. We call these people change agents.

Not long ago, I had a conversation about PR measurement with someone I consider a media relations master — a person who leads global communications for a high-flying public company.

With so much of today's technology designed to make lives easier, time is more fleeting than ever. A new study by ad agency Allen & Gerritsen takes a deep dive into consumers' relationship with time, revealing that 57 percent of those surveyed indicated that they rarely have time to relax.

when the idea of the JG world HQ was just a little dream of ours, we always knew we wanted it to be a friendly ecosystem for the unique species of troubadours to migrate. a place for singers and songwriters to find inspiration. a place where they, along with junkers, roadtrippers, and dreamers could all live symbiotically in sweet, sweet harmony.
and now, that little dream of ours is coming true…i'm very,very excited to announce…drumroll please…. the first ever JG FRONT PORCH SERIES: unplugged!!!
it's gonna be a biggo time! seriously y'all….we are so honored to be hosting some of the finest singer/songwriters around!! they'll be pickin' on our front porch! and we sooo hope all of y'all can come!
in case you're not picking up what i'm putting down, let me spell it out for ya… longhorns grazing in the pasture next to the HQ, bluebonnets blooming roadside, the big blue country sky up above, junk as far as the eye can see, and inspiring music that'll make you wanna pull up a rocking chair and stay awhile! and oh yeah, i forgot to mention miranda lambert wine on select days! does it get any better?

'What time on April 2nd is Cody Canada going to be playing?


Writing an email to a friend, a creator, an old time school mate. I am not sure what to call it. Writing about how December has a way of running away from us. We think we have that one last month to cross all the t's and dot all the I's, but it will be gone before we know it. I suppose everything will be gone before we know it. That's morbid. Grad school is almost fully applied to, my record is almost finished (being written), and I have collected more serving jobs for the holidays than I can deal with. I need money and I need sanity and they both feel like a hail mary to no one in the en-zone. Someone has been looking at our home, they want to buy it. This will also mean moving sooner than I had hoped. I hope this doesn't sound like I am complaining because these are all burdens I am more than happy to carry. Ah, the wonderful burden of progress.
I read in your horoscope today that: continents separate and collide creating new formations- it's just what they do.

Props to LeBron James and his new Akron public school — but what about the other kids?
LeBron James speaks Monday at the opening ceremony for the I Promise School in Akron, Ohio. The school is supported by James's foundation and part of the city's public school system. (Phil Long/AP)
August 2, 2018 at 6:00 AM EDT
Basketball superstar LeBron James is getting major props — from Barack and Michelle Obama, no less — for underwriting a public school for at-risk students in his hometown, Akron, Ohio. His investment in the newly opened I Promise School is a welcome change for public education supporters. They have watched celebrities put their names and money behind alternatives to traditional school systems for years even though those districts educate the vast majority of America's schoolchildren.
(Tennis great Andre Agassi, for example, has been pushing charter schools for years, along with Pitbull, Sean "Diddy" Combs and a host of others, while Earvin "Magic" Johnson was involved with a chain of for-profit schools for several years. And Obama, when president, supported the expansion of charter schools.)
To you @MichelleObama & @BarackObama THANK YOU!!! 🙏🏾 @IPROMISESchool #IPROMISE https://t.co/eFulE2AgaS
— LeBron James (@KingJames) July 31, 2018
But James focused on helping Akron Public Schools, which is the fifth-largest district in Ohio with about 22,000 students and where he attended school. Born to a teen mother who raised him alone when he was young, James famously missed a lot of school and has spoken about wanting to use his wealth to help underprivileged children have a better educational experience. Though James is leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers and moving to Los Angeles to play for the Lakers, his roots have always been in Akron.
LeBron is more than basketball 👏
A post shared by Sports Blog Nation (@sbnation) on Jul 30, 2018 at 8:42am PDT
The praise for James has come from far and wide, including from charter school supporters who no doubt would have preferred that James opened a charter, which is publicly funded but privately operated. (Ohio's charter school sector has long been riddled with scandal, with the latest fiasco being the collapse of the for-profit cyber-charter Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow (ECOT), which has been ordered to repay the state some $80 million.)
And James's focus on building a school within a traditional public district suggests he understands the importance of the traditional public education system in the United States, which some argue is the country's most important civic institution and which is under assault from school "reformers" who want to privatize it.
Still, the fact that this school opened only because of the good graces of a very wealthy, civic-minded athlete underscores the continuing problem with education funding in this country. And it highlights the push for school "choice" that has Betsy DeVos, President Trump's education secretary, as its chief advocate.
Money for public education comes primarily from local funds, supplemented by state and federal sources. Though the percentages vary state to state, the largest chunk of public education money comes from property taxes, which perpetuates unequal resources for schools depending upon the wealth of an area. Federal funding is available to help close the gap but doesn't come close.
In recent years, high-profile school reformers, chief among them the fabulously wealthy Bill Gates, have poured money and prestige into projects they said would improve educational opportunities for the neediest students — even though they lacked research or input from educators. Gates — through a number of initiatives, including funding the creation and implementation of the Common Core State Standards — played a key role in driving school reform during the Obama years. Other philanthropists joined in, helping create a movement fueled in part by personality.
That's not how civic institutions should be run. America's public schools should not have to depend on any wealthy individual or private entity to be sustained or improved.
If Americans really want all children to have equity in educational opportunity, then our governments at all levels have to ensure that happens, without depending on the market (which always has winners and losers) or the generosity of the wealthy (some of whom have limited attention spans). Not even LeBron James, the best basketball player on the planet (and in history, if you ask me, which you didn't).
Yes, he deserves praise for throwing his money and celebrity behind what every kid in Amer…ica needs: a good, responsive, free public school. No, there's nothing in his I Promise School that educators haven't known kids need. That means resources to deal with them where they are — academically, emotionally and psychologically.
It's not rocket science. It's harder.
I'm thrilled @KingJames started a pubic school—not a charter school that drains money from the rest of the schools. https://t.co/FTbRJfL2Pb

"For the love of beautiful." Within the colorful walls of the Italian villa, Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer sits in an armchair and utters the phrase that will define the British automaker for years to come. Not five feet away, I listen from on my own piece of doughy furniture, visualizing the ignition button on Aston Martin's new DB11 sports car parked outside.
The launch of Aston's DB9 successor is accompanied by an ambitious declaration: one all-new model will debut each year between now and 2020, at which time the luxury marque expects to produce 7,000 vehicles per year – up from 4,000 this past year.
"The DB11 is probably the most important car in Aston Martin's history," continues Palmer, "and the U.S. is the most important market to us right now." These punctuated bits of information may be solely for the benefit of the American journalists huddling around the executive, but the frankness of his speech suggests otherwise.
"We've agonized over how to communicate who we (Aston Martin) are to Americans. It's like Cricket: to us, it makes sense, but Americans have only heard of it and don't quite understand it." Palmer goes on to admit that Aston Martin underperforms in the U.S. and fails to create a distinction among competitors like Bentley and Ferrari.
Fortunately, the automaker believes that this is about to change, that it's cracked the code. The DB11, along with Aston Martin's core model replacements (Vantage, Vanquish) and the DBX crossover due in 2019, will attempt to embody the new, "beautiful" creed. "It's not a commodity; we need you to love what we love," Palmer concluded.
I don't envy the blokes tasked with replacing the DB9. It is, after all, one of the most stunning vehicles ever crafted. For the last dozen years, the DB9's silhouette has loosened the jaws of onlookers while its V12 bellow melted their membranes.
It's fortunate, then, that I held no authority in the DB11's design, because its presence is bewitching. Aston Martin's Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman attempts to breakdown the DB11's physique by a one-third to two-thirds styling logic, but I'm already lost in the sports car's flawless form. In the brief moments where I return to reality, I catch notes about the car's single-piece clamshell hood, wider aluminum grille, shark-like nose, and airflow manipulation.
There would be time to analyze each body panel, but not until the DB11's amalgamation has totally consumed me. Confidently, Aston Martin has transported an original DB9 from its Gaydon headquarters to pose alongside to its next of kin. Rather than attempting to rehash any specific element of the DB9, Aston's designers have revolutionized the styling characteristics that make spark enthusiast awe.
More than any Aston Martin models before, the DB11's aerodynamics compliment its design. The aggressive chin splitter pulls air over the front tires, through the curly-cue air ducts, along the jutting side skirts, into the open C-pillar buttresses and through the trunk. The exiting air is tightly funneled over the rear end in the form of a patented "airblade." As the DB11 gains speed, this invisible spoiler can propel air up to a meter high.
Wider, longer, and lower than the DB9, the DB11's bonnet seems endless, its rear haunches are nearly horizontal shelves, its floating roof strake is like a stylist's swath of color in an aphotic hairdo, and its rear has been creased into slivers of light and metal. Even motionless, the DB11 is like reveling in a production of Troilus and Cressida, leaving the audience in a passionate sweat.
The DB11's external styling commands that essential first impression, but owners can only admire their vehicles for so long before they must climb inside. The DB9's analog gauges, low-resolution infotainment system, and flat dash simply won't do in 2016.
Welcome to an all-new Aston, dear readers.
A familiar blend of supple leather, Alcantara, ornate stitching, and glass surfaces is now enhanced by a choice of open-pore wood or chopped carbon inlays, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, and Mercedes-Benz's electronic architecture. Finally, the concept of Aston Martin luxury permits a glimpse of modern technology.
Don't expect a semi-autonomous S-Class experience, despite the DB11's employment of Merc's COMMAND system within a 7.0-inch center screen, digital TFT driver display and gauges, and controller that sits in front of the console armrest. As a result, drivers can access a surround view camera system, smartphone integrated contacts and music, navigation, and vehicle settings from either the steering wheel controls or mouse. The center stack has also been updated with a myriad of touch controls and a line of toggles for key functions like the defroster and fan speed.
Driver and passenger are treated to sculpted front buckets that provide a respectable amount of support but stop short of gripping too tightly – after all, this is a car designed with the more "robust" American buyer in mind. Rear passengers benefit from an ounce of additional legroom compared to the DB9, but the molded seats are still no place for full-size adults.
The enveloping cabin is exquisitely constructed by hand yet there is nary a man-made fault to be found. Each stitch and panel is perfectly fabricated. This is certainly Aston Martin's most sumptuous cabin ever, with contemporary conveniences to please occupants even when the DB11's all-new V12 is in its most tranquil state.
Emission and fuel economy restrictions have hit some automakers harder than others, and Aston Martin is perhaps the most compromised. Its fleet of high-horsepower, naturally aspirated, large-displacement vehicles makes no attempts to mask dedication to performance and acoustic thrills over environmental friendliness. Alas, the regulatory hammer is falling, but Aston has found a compromise worthy of its new mantra.
The DB11 is powered by a new 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12 that spools up 600hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. Connected to a ZF 8-speed automatic gearbox, the sports car catapults to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds and effortlessly muscles its way to a 200 mph top speed. For now, the DB11 is available exclusively with 12-cylinder power, but we can expect a bi-turbo V8 from Mercedes-Benz to slot under the hood in the near future as an entry-level variant.
Despite its larger dimensions, the DB11 is 86 lbs lighter than the outgoing DB9, augmenting the potency of its more powerful engine. Aston's engineers have also managed to pull the powertrain completely behind the front axle, a first for the brand. Rounding out the performance enhancements are a dynamic torque vectoring system and adaptive drive modes. The latter system can independently tune the powertrain and suspension for GT (comfort), Sport (excitement), or Sport+ (you'd better be paying attention) characteristics.
As I wend my way through Tuscany's narrow, serpentine roads, I can imagine a satisfied smirk on the faces of Aston's vehicle development crew. The surge of power above 3,000 rpms is deftly controlled by the DB11's duo of braking performance and torque vectoring. In an instant, the suspension morphs from pliant to nimble, squeezing the DB11's substantial body through tight bends with ease. Governing the car's electric steering system (another first for AM) through each corner is equally satisfying – and confounding to my hydraulic rack loyalties.
And all the while that V12 blare is rattling the hands of innocent Italians attempting to steady an espresso cup inches from their lips.
Second chances are rare for large-scale auto manufacturers, and mere pipe dreams for low-volume companies like Aston Martin. Flubbing the DB9 successor wouldn't just hurt the brand, it would crush it. The DB11 must succeed in every single grand touring category; it must be fast; it must be modern; it must be elegant; it must be luxurious.
Americans will never put stock in Aston Martin if they don't understand it – Palmer and his team have that right. So this bit's for you, fellow countrymen: the DB11 is infatuation. You may struggle to explain it, but all that matters is that you know how it feels, and that you can't tear yourself from it.

Like many, I loved playing Duck Hunt on my NES as a kid. Well, the ducks have come back to get some revenge! This time they are doing it in 3D as well as 2D! Below is the 2D version of this funny yet gory video since I am doubting that most of you have a pare of 3D glasses laying around. If you do, you can check out the 3D version here. Remember to take your NES Zapper with you on your next hunting trip just in case the ducks decide to fight back!

Crew-1 Mission Builds on Success of Demo-2

On Saturday, May 30, 2020, at 3:22 p.m. EDT, NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley made their way into the history books. The Demo-2 mission was the first launch with astronauts of the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket to the International Space Station as part of the agency's Commercial Crew Program.
That paved the way for NASA certification of SpaceX's crew transportation system, which allows the agency to regularly fly astronauts to the space station, and ends sole reliance on Russia for space station access.
For today's Crew-1 launch, NASA astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, and Shannon Walker, and astronaut Soichi Noguchi of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), will fly on SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft, lifting off on a Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A in Florida, for a full duration mission on the space station. It is the first crew rotation flight of a U.S. commercial spacecraft with astronauts to the space station following the spacecraft system's official human rating certification.
Crew-1 astronauts will join the Expedition 64 crew of Commander Sergey Ryzhikov, and Flight Engineers Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and NASA astronaut Kate Rubins. The arrival of Crew-1 will increase the regular crew size of the space station's expedition missions from six to seven astronauts, adding to the amount of crew time available for research.
Today's launch is targeted for 7:27 p.m. EST. There remains a 50% chance of favorable weather conditions at liftoff.

These cookies aren't the type you leave for Santa.
Christmas cookies are part of a time-honored tradition that spreads love and good cheer to family and friends.
But that doesn't mean it's immune to shenanigans. Give your frenemy a taste of what s/he deserves with these relatively harmless cookie pranks.
From a cilantro cookie sure to red pepper flake shortbread, these baked treats aren't for the faint of heart.
Make these and you're likely to get a lump of coal in your stocking. But the look on your evil neighbor's face might be worth it.


Cat's back today with more about old thinking that has kept her circling feelings that stand in the way of getting where she wants to go. The good news is, she's working through it and finding herself on a sure path to success — being able to make your own choices about what you need in the moment.
I can feel the mist in the air, hitting my face as the breeze rustled the leaves on the trees surrounding me. I'm on top of a steep 20 foot drop, trying to work up the nerve to make my way down to the waterfall that is just past the line of trees that block my view. I get to the edge of the wall and completely freeze—I can't move, I can't think. All I can feel is fear working its way from my head to my toes.
I never made it to the waterfall that day. My feet stayed firmly planted on the rock wall, and I stayed firmly planted in a fear that, at the worst of times, feels like auto-pilot.
For the last few weeks, I feel like I've been stuck in neutral, letting myself slide from newer, healthy behaviors into my old way of doing things. It's not the worst place to be. It's comfortable. It's predictable. I know it's safe. But it's definitely not what I want.
Here's the thing: it's driven by guilt and shame, by my past, but most importantly, by that same fear that kept me from doing what I really wanted. All this does is highlight something I know to be true, staying in neutral is never going to get me where I want to be.
I felt stuck when I first came to Green Mountain. Years of unhappiness and fear had led to years of hard, intense pushing, physically and emotionally, thinking that that was my way to satisfaction. All I needed to solve my problems was some old-fashioned, boot-strap-pulling effort, right?
All those years of fighting fear with pushing ever harder had left me exhausted and further away from my goals than when I had started. I knew that they only way out was through, but I needed to learn how to support and love myself along the way.
That firm foundation of self-esteem and self-respect was and is vital. That is the only way for me to calm the waves of anxiety about my past and future, and simply move forward.
At Green Mountain I learned what I wish I'd known a long time ago—that even my greatest efforts needed to be based in love from the start if I want to go anywhere.
I wish I could say that this has made my journey easy, but I still struggle, some days more than others. It's easy to get pulled back into old ways.
As I fight the urge to give up or grit my teeth and push, I have to stop myself from doing either and remember how I felt at that rock wall. Only this time, I get to choose the outcome.
Turning back won't get me there, but neither will aggressively rushing myself. I have to take one step at a time, lovingly and mindfully.
Whatever that waterfall is for you, you'll get there. By the way, I'm going on a trip next week. I'm going to go see some pretty awesome waterfalls.


We still don't know much about Tesla 's plans for an electric semi truck, which Elon Musk tweeted about on Thursday, but one analyst believes the vehicles could disrupt the trucking industry.
"Commercial vehicle makers -- and their suppliers -- would be wise to stymie their laughter and take these tweets seriously," Piper Jaffray's Alexander Potter wrote Tuesday.
Granted, there's been no word on pricing or performance for the Tesla semi, which will be unveiled in September, so it's hard to know whether the trucks will justify their cost. But Potter says that different fleets have different needs, and there are opportunities for electric vehicles to crack the market.
"Urban, fixed-route electric vehicles are easy to charge -- and they compete with expensive diesel vehicles that get bad fuel economy," he wrote.
Overall, the heavy truck market in North America and Europe is a $100 billion revenue opportunity, Potter says. This year, Tesla could bring in about $11 billion in revenue.
He feels strongly enough about Tesla's potential in this industry that he downgraded shares of Paccar , a truck manufacturer and Cummins , which makes engines, based partly on the threat from electric vehicles. Potter now rates those stocks at Neutral, indicating he thinks shares will trade in line with the overall market. "We think Tesla's impending arrival could pressure valuations," he wrote.
Big Picture: One analyst thinks that Tesla's plan to make an electric truck poses a challenge to the existing makers of 18-wheelers.

In a small bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the tortilla pieces. When tortilla is soft, pour eggs into the skillet and cook 3 to 5 minutes, lifting eggs to allow the uncooked portion to flow underneath. Remove from heat; sprinkle egg evenly with cheese and place skillet in a 325 degrees F oven for 3 to 4 minutes or until the cheese melts. Spread avocado mixture on top 1/2 omelet and return it to the oven for 5 to 7 minutes. Fold the omelet in half to serve.


Good morning. I'm David Greene. Say you're a parent, and you still like dressing up on Halloween. Your kid's dressing up as Luke Skywalker. And so you decide, for fun, you're going to go as Princess Leia. Well, I would just not do that in Chesapeake, Va., a city law there says anyone over age 12 who engages in, quote, "the activity commonly known as trick-or-treat" could face a $100 fine or up to six months in jail. Maybe I'd be OK with this if they let me take my candy with me. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
