High Mercury Levels Are Found in Tuna Sushi
Tony Cenicola/The New York Times
Tuna sushi is a popular item in New York but may be risky.
By MARIAN BURROS
Published: January 23, 2008 The New York Times
Recent laboratory tests found so much mercury in tuna sushi from 20 Manhattan stores and restaurants that at most of them, a regular diet of six pieces a week would exceed the levels considered acceptable by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Sushi from 5 of the 20 places had mercury levels so high that the Food and Drug Administration could take legal action to remove the fish from the market. The sushi was bought by The New York Times in October.
"No one should eat a meal of tuna with mercury levels like those found in the restaurant samples more than about once every three weeks," said Dr. Michael Gochfeld, professor of environmental and occupational medicine at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in Piscataway, N.J.
Dr. Gochfeld analyzed the sushi for The Times with Dr. Joanna Burger, professor of life sciences at Rutgers University. He is a former chairman of the New Jersey Mercury Task Force and also treats patients with mercury poisoning.
The owner of a restaurant whose tuna sushi had particularly high mercury concentrations said he was shocked by the findings. "I'm startled by this," said the owner, Drew Nieporent, a managing partner of Nobu Next Door. "Anything that might endanger any customer of ours, we'd be inclined to take off the menu immediately and get to the bottom of it."
Although the samples were gathered in New York City, experts believe similar results would be observed elsewhere.
"Mercury levels in bluefin are likely to be very high regardless of location," said Tim Fitzgerald, a marine scientist for Environmental Defense, an advocacy group that works to protect the environment and improve human health.
Most of the restaurants in the survey said the tuna The Times had sampled was bluefin.
In 2004 the Food and Drug Administration joined with the Environmental Protection Agency to warn women who might become pregnant and children to limit their consumption of certain varieties of canned tuna because the mercury it contained might damage the developing nervous system. Fresh tuna was not included in the advisory. Most of the tuna sushi in the Times samples contained far more mercury than is typically found in canned tuna.
Over the past several years, studies have suggested that mercury may also cause health problems for adults, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and neurological symptoms.
Dr. P. Michael Bolger, a toxicologist who is head of the chemical hazard assessment team at the Food and Drug Administration, did not comment on the findings in the Times sample but said the agency was reviewing its seafood mercury warnings. Because it has been four years since the advisory was issued, Dr. Bolger said, "we have had a study under way to take a fresh look at it."
No government agency regularly tests seafood for mercury.
Tuna samples from the Manhattan restaurants Nobu Next Door, Sushi Seki, Sushi of Gari and Blue Ribbon Sushi and the food store Gourmet Garage all had mercury above one part per million, the "action level" at which the F.D.A. can take food off the market. (The F.D.A. has rarely, if ever, taken any tuna off the market.) The highest mercury concentration, 1.4 parts per million, was found in tuna from Blue Ribbon Sushi. The lowest, 0.10, was bought at Fairway.
When told of the newspaper's findings, Andy Arons, an owner of Gourmet Garage, said: "We'll look for lower-level-mercury fish. Maybe we won't sell tuna sushi for a while, until we get to the bottom of this." Mr. Arons said his stores stocked yellowfin, albacore and bluefin tuna, depending on the available quality and the price.
At Blue Ribbon Sushi, Eric Bromberg, an owner, said he was aware that bluefin tuna had higher mercury concentrations. For that reason, Mr. Bromberg said, the restaurant typically told parents with small children not to let them eat "more than one or two pieces."
Koji Oneda, a spokesman for Sushi Seki, said the restaurant would talk to its fish supplier about the issue. A manager at Sushi of Gari, Tomi Tomono, said it warned pregnant women and regular customers who "love to eat tuna" about mercury levels. Mr. Tomono also said the restaurant would put warning labels on the menu "very soon."
Scientists who performed the analysis for The Times ran the tests several times to be sure there was no mistake in the levels of methylmercury, the form of mercury found in fish tied to health problems.
The work was done at the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute, in Piscataway, a partnership between Rutgers and the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.
Six pieces of sushi from most of the restaurants and stores would contain more than 49 micrograms of mercury. That is the amount the Environmental Protection Agency deems acceptable for weekly consumption over a period of several months by an adult of average weight, which the agency defines as 154 pounds. People weighing less are advised to consume even less mercury. The weight of the fish in the tuna pieces sampled by The Times were 0.18 ounces to 1.26 ounces.
In general, tuna sushi from food stores was much lower in mercury. These findings reinforce results in other studies showing that more expensive tuna usually contains more mercury because it is more likely to come from a larger species, which accumulates mercury from the fish it eats. Mercury enters the environment as an industrial pollutant.
In the Times survey, 10 of the 13 restaurants said at least one of the two tuna samples bought was bluefin. (It is hard for anyone but experts to tell whether a piece of tuna sushi is bluefin by looking at it.)
By contrast, other species, like yellowfin and albacore, generally have much less mercury. Several of the stores in the Times sample said the tuna in their sushi was yellowfin.
"It is very likely bluefin will be included in next year's testing," Dr. Bolger of the F.D.A. said. "A couple of months ago F.D.A. became aware of bluefin tuna as a species Americans are eating."
A number of studies have found high blood mercury levels in people eating a diet rich in seafood. According to a 2007 survey by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the average level of mercury in New Yorkers' blood is three times higher than the national average. The report found especially high levels among Asian New Yorkers, especially foreign-born Chinese, and people with high incomes. The report noted that Asians tend to eat more seafood, and it speculated that wealthier people favored fish, like swordfish and bluefin tuna, that happen to have higher mercury levels.
The city has warned women who are pregnant or breast-feeding and children not to eat fresh tuna, Chilean sea bass, swordfish, shark, grouper and other kinds of fish it describes as "too high in mercury." (Cooking fish has no effect on the mercury level.)
Dr. Kate Mahaffey, a senior research scientist in the office of science coordination and policy at the E.P.A. who studies mercury in fish, said she was not surprised by reports of high concentrations.
"We have seen exposures occurring now in the United States that have produced blood mercury a lot higher than anything we would have expected to see," Dr. Mahaffey said. "And this appears to be related to consumption of larger amounts of fish that are higher in mercury than we had anticipated."
Many experts believe the government's warnings on mercury in seafood do not go far enough.
"The current advice from the F.D.A. is insufficient," said Dr. Philippe Grandjean, adjunct professor of environmental health at the Harvard School of Public Health and chairman of the department of environmental medicine at the University of Southern Denmark. "In order to maintain reasonably low mercury exposure, you have to eat fish low in the food chain, the smaller fish, and they are not saying that."
Some environmental groups have sounded the alarm. Environmental Defense, the advocacy group, says no one, no matter his or her age, should eat bluefin tuna. Dr. Gochfeld said: "I like to think of tuna sushi as an occasional treat. A steady diet is certainly problematic. There are a lot of other sushi choices."
Studies Link Other Ills to Mercury, Too
In the past few years, several studies have concluded that elevated mercury levels may be associated not only with neurological problems but with cardiovascular disease among adults as well.
One of the studies, reported by Dr. Eliseo Guallar, an associate professor of epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, in 2002 in The New England Journal of Medicine, looked at men in European countries and Israel. The mercury levels among men who had had a heart attack were 15 percent higher than those who had not.
In 2006, a National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine report titled "Seafood Choices: Balancing Benefits and Risks" acknowledged some of these findings, saying that "increased methylmercury exposure might be a risk factor for adult cardiovascular toxicity."
The report added, "For child neurodevelopment and adult cardiovascular health, emerging evidence suggests that the health benefits of seafood consumption are greater among individuals whose body burden of methylmercury is lower."
Other studies have concluded that the benefits of consuming fish, because it contains omega-3 fatty acids that may help prevent heart disease, may outweigh the risks of mercury contamination. Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, a cardiologist and assistant professor of medicine and epidemiology at Harvard Medical School, said that "the evidence is inconsistent that high mercury level has any effect" on the risk of cardiovascular death among adults. More research had to be done, Dr. Mozaffarian said.
But some researchers who have examined the links between mercury and cardiovascular disease agree with Dr. Ellen Silbergeld, professor of environmental health sciences and epidemiology at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, who said "the existing evidence is strong and striking," even though more studies were needed.
"It is very unwise to wait until we have complete scientific truth," said Dr. Philippe Grandjean, adjunct professor of environmental health at the Harvard School of Public Health and chairman of the department of environmental medicine at the University of Southern Denmark. "The prudent judgment is to protect human health."
There is also recent epidemiological evidence on the relationship between mercury and neurological problems. One study, published in Environmental Health in 2003, linked low-level methylmercury exposure with impaired dexterity and concentration. The greater the mercury level, the greater the effect, the researchers found. The study also suggested that adults exposed to methylmercury might be at risk for vision loss and numbness of fingers and toes as well as blood pressure and fertility problems.
Increasing numbers of physicians are reporting on signs of mercury poisoning among patients who eat large quantities of fish.
Dr. Jane Hightower, a clinician and diagnostician in San Francisco, evaluated more than 100 patients who had vague, unexplained symptoms. Of them, 89 percent had mercury in their blood that exceeded the level considered acceptable by the Environmental Protection Agency.
The symptoms included memory lapses, hair loss, fatigue, sleeplessness, tremors, headaches, muscle and joint pain, trouble thinking, gastrointestinal disturbances and an inability to do complex tasks.
Dr. Hightower tracked 67 of the patients, directing them to stop eating all fish. After 41 weeks, all but two had blood mercury levels lower than the level considered acceptable. Her clinical observations, published in 2003 in Environmental Health Perspectives, indicate that such neurological problems in otherwise healthy adults recede when blood mercury levels go down.
No one is recommending that people stop eating fish, unless their blood mercury levels are dangerously high. In fact, health professionals and researchers encourage eating seafood selectively, choosing species, like salmon and sardines, that have high omega-3 fatty acids and low levels of mercury.
Fish in the diet "is not an all-or-nothing story," Dr. Silbergeld said. "The trick is to figure out which ones to eat."

Camping is a popular choice for many travelers in Iceland. There are around 170 registered campsites in Iceland, usually open from the beginning of June until late August or mid-September.
Many visitors come to Iceland to experience the pure, clean and untouched environment. Responsible camping allows you to enjoy Iceland in its purest form, and depends on campers respecting nature and minimizing their impact on the area they are camping in.
Icelandic nature preservation law dictates where you are allowed to camp in Iceland if you find yourself away from registered campsites. In residential areas, you are allowed to pitch up to three camping tents in uncultivated land for one night only if there is no campsite in the area.
If you wish to camp on cultivated land or near residential buildings, fenced off farmland, or such, you have to ask permission from a landowner or other beneficiary before you pitch up the camping tent. The same rule applies if you intend to stay longer than one night. You are not allowed to camp on farmland without permission.

Harvey looked after me exceptionally.
Excellent service and a professional set up. It was a pleasure doing business, despite Dove House driving a hard bargain.
Exemplary service, an absolute pleasure to deal with Dove House Motor Company and make a purchase.
The team at Dove House handled us very professionally from start to finish. The car was well prepared and they seemed to care about long term business, and not just making a quick sale. We would go back again to buy, so that says it all! Keep up the good work.
From my initial phone call to Nick at Dove House Motor Company to viewing the car and then collecting it a few days later, nothing was too much trouble. I was made to feel a valued customer and kept up to date with the buying process throughout with emails and phone calls. Even on collection I was able to talk to one of their technicians about servicing and general running maintenance. Car is fantastic and was spotlessly prepared and valeted both at the viewing and collection. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend Dove House Motor Company. An enjoyable experience.
Excellent service, which is why we came back to buy another car from you. We have not been disappointed.
Having had my previous vehicle - a Gen 1 911 C2S looked after by Dove House I had decided that my next purchase would be from them. The service department, (Tony) is second to none that I have experienced in my 30 years of driving. The set-up is extremely professional, the staff - both in the workshop and sales team absolutely know the products. Nick West handled my purchase and what I found particularly nice was that there was no hard sell, no pressure but just a really pleasant and enjoyable experience both pre-sale and post sale - I can't recommend them highly enough!
From the first contact with Dove House, I was truly impressed. Most discussion were done over the phone and a very good deal was arranged subject to viewing both cars. On arrival at Dove House I was met by Nick who proceeded to show me the Porsche 991 at it was exactly as "described on the tin". Nothing was too much trouble and it was rather rare to deal with a sales person who was both knowledgeable and courteous. Over all a great experience.
All in all a very nice experience.
This is the third car I have bought from Warren at Dove House and he makes car buying a pleasure. Please pass on our thanks and we will of course recommend you to friends and colleagues.
A first class service and nothing was too much trouble.
Regardless of the purchase, the experience from first visit to completion was first class.
Completely satisfied with the car and the purchase procedure. I am enjoying many happy miles of motoring.
'I wanted to send you an email sating how impressed I have been with the service you have given to me since the purchase of my car from Dove House. You have always been an absolute pleasure to deal with and through any issues we have had with the car never tried to brush me off and always rose to the challenge. You also did this with a style that and never made me feel in anyway uncomfortable, even passed the warranty period. You have been the finest garage I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with and I could not recommend Dove House highly enough. It's reassuring to know people like you still exist in this industry and have the organisation behind you who support this above and beyond approach'.
I was made to feel special and as a result the whole experience of buying a car from Dove House was second to none. Thank you.
Just a short note to express my great satisfaction with the excellent standard of service at Dove House. Have just had my Boxster S (bought from you six months ago) in for MoT. The car sailed through its MoT, so obviously it was well prepared when sold to me. Not only that - to my surprise it also received a valet, and your chief mechanic Tony fixed a small problem with one of the ignition keys not working. He is most helpful and a tremendous asset to the company.
'I purchased a 997 C2S from Dove House in July 2013. I travelled 150 miles from Lancashire to Northants to view the car. Harvey at Dove House provided a number of accurate photographs prior to the viewing and was upfront and honest throughout the viewing process. Unfortunately 8 weeks later it developed a minor issue with a rear light cluster, however the problem was fixed by my local Porsche specialist free of charge under the warranty that Dove House provided with the car. No hassle, very smooth experience from Dove House and when I had a problem they sorted it out quickly although I live 150 miles away from them. I can't speak highly enough of Harvey and the guys at Dove House'.
Love spending with you, see you again soon!
It was a singular pleasure dealing with you in spite of the journey.
Outstanding, it's their attention to detail. The guys at Dove house were really helpful, this is a great place to buy a car.
A five star service all the way. It's the first time in my life that I've purchased a quality sports car, it's been a pleasurable experience both purchasing and owning a car I have dreamed about since my youth.
I have already thanked Nick and Tony personally for the courtesy and professionalism shown to me throughout my dealings with them during the purchase process but what I would like to also add is that it was refreshing to again experience people with an infective enthusiasm and passion in the pursuit of their respective jobs. It is something sadly lost in today's customer relations and service. Thank you for restoring it.
I would like to say how much I am enjoying my new car. This is my first Porsche and I'm finding it's abilities revealed the more I drive it (quicker is better). Friends and colleagues like it too. I would also like to say how much I appreciate the time you took and advice offered when deciding what car to buy. I can recommend Dove House Motor Company to anyone who wants to buy a sports car. Thank you to everyone at the dealership, you can all be very proud of the business you are all part of.
Very helpful, excellent customer service - would certainly recommend a car purchase from them to others.
First class service, a very good experience buying a car at your dealership. Many thanks!
Very professional, great customer service and a special thanks to Harvey and Tony.
Now that I am over the initial shock of having to find a considerable amount of cash to repair my pride and joy, I would just like 'again' to express my sincere thanks to you and Tony for all the help and advice given to me on Monday. To you especially, for the offer you made in efforts to secure a warranty on the car, being willing to take time out to drive to Leicester and to oversee the necessary documentation to obtain that warranty; hence saving me a considerable amount of outlay. To Tony for his concerns for both me and the car and wanting to commence work on the car for me as a matter of some urgency, then in contacting 'Hartech' and his efforts to get some priority on their repair system knowing we have trips planned at home and abroad in the very near future. As we have proclaimed to many other Porsche owners we know and have met - Dove House Motor Company gives first class customer service, renowned value for money and "go the extra mile" in their efforts for complete customer satisfaction – and we shall continue to do so. You have been gifted with exceptional members of staff who form an impressive team with their loyalty, professionalism, reliability and a willingness to help. Whilst I am only too well aware of how very busy sales, workshops and office are at this time, I wish to say that I sincerely appreciate all the efforts made on my behalf, in particular by Tony and his mechanics for fitting in a massive job within the really heavy workload that the workshops must have at this particular time. In my dealings over quite a few years with Porsche OPC's and Independent Porsche specialists I have never before come across such a committed workshop manager as Tony Whitcombe – in my 'humble' opinion he is such an valued asset to DHMC. Please convey my very best wishes and thanks to all your team.
'Just a quick note to say thanks for everything. Got the car home without incident! It still looks awesome in the metal and I am impressed with the Supagard as it really seems to repel the muck. I look forward to a long and happy relationship with my 1st 911 and Dove House (even if you are a few miles up the road!)'.
'Collecting my porsche today from Harvey was a real pleasure and reminds me why I was keen to buy a car from Dove House. A genuine team effort from sales to the finest valeting I have come across - quality is clearly at the heart of every aspect of your business. I will recommend Dove House to anyone trying to source a best of class prestige car - the buying experience is relaxed, well informed and highly professional. Tony Whitcombe's open and helpful approach on technical advise is just priceless and very re-assuring to the new customer. Thank you all, I shall be back. The Cayman drives and handles every bit as good as it looks - I am so proud of it'.
Another car bought from Dove House and another exemplary experience. Nick looked after me so well, I have no room for criticism, both he and Dove House went the extra mile to help me and I would 100% recommend them to anyone considering purchasing one of their cars, Thankyou!
I am so pleased with the my Ferrari that I just wanted to email and say thank you so much for your amazing service from start to finish. You gave me confidence from the outset, which is so important when buying a car like this. It is now covered up in its new home, snug and warm. I will have to get it out and clean it tomorrow, or is that just an excuse I hear you ask! I will definitely be bringing her back for servicing and for you to look after her, so it is not the last you will see of her. I will also be looking for a 911 for my wife later on in the year so I will enlist your professional help once again. Finally I would like this email to be shown to whoever should know what service I have received. It makes a great deal of difference in today's environment to look after customers and many could learn from your professionalism. Once again, huge thanks and I will be in touch soon, that I promise.
'Just a short note to express my great satisfaction with the excellent standard of service at Dove House. Have just had my Boxster S (bought from you six months ago) in for an MOT. The car sailed through its MOT, so obviously it was well prepared when sold to me. Not only that - to my surprise it also received a valet and your cheif mechanic Tony fixed a small problem with one of the ignition keys not working. He is most helpful and a tremendous asset to the company'.
Dovehouse have been a pleasure to do business with, the staff are very informative and professional. Harvey the salesman in particular, has made the purchase of my Porsche an easy and hassle-free process. On the one occassion I came across an issue with the vehicle, the Dovehouse staff dealt with it quickly and efficiently, specifically the in-house technicians and valet. I would highly recommend 'Dovehouse' to anyone who is looking to purchase a prestige vehicle.
Excellent service throughout. Many thanks.
'I am writing to say thanks for your helpful service when buying my first ever Porsche. I can happily say that Dove House are the most professional and knowledgable people I have ever dealt with when buying a car. I will certainly be coming back to see you and will be using you for my aftersales back-up'.
Just to say a big thank you for your excellent service. I am so happy with the car and the exceptional service you provided. Just little things like reserving the car for me until i came to view it, getting the car serviced so quickly and also going over all of the cars functionality in such depth really took out the stress for me which is what i really needed after the bad luck of having my previous car confirmed as a total loss after a large van drove into the back of me whilst i was stationary in traffic. I will be contacting your garage with plenty of notice for a full service next year before the warranty expires on 1st September 2016. I was going to investigate my options of extending the warranty with BMW but will be bringing the car to your mechanics to carry out the service every year as the car drives fantastically after their work on it.
Nice to meet you yesterday. Thanks for the tour, very impressive and I can see how passionate you guys are about DHMC. Drive home was awesome, even though the weather and traffic was awful, something made it special. Still haven't stopped smiling and keep wanting to go out and look in the garage. Thanks for an excellent buying experience.
I have already told my friends about how good your company was to deal with and how good Harvey was in dealing with both my purchase of the Turbo and my part exchange. From the moment I spoke to Harvey about the Turbo and his accurate description of its condition etc together with the details of my boxster everything was perfect. The turbo required the wheels being refurbished and a couple of scratches on the paintwork being mopped out and all of this was carried out to an excellent standard. Also as Harvey was busy when I arrived I was looked after for a while by one of your vehicle technicians who was also very good and professional. In summary the whole buying experience was perfect and I have no hesitation in recommending your Company.
We would just like to say a big thank you to everyone we met at Dove House Cars, you are all very helpful and professional.
Dove were very helpful orgainising a test drive and sorting the car out to my specification. Regular updates and photos showing works done.
The most professional car dealership without doubt. They never for one minute pushed me into a sale . What they wanted to do was make me fully aware about the car , its history and quality. They spent over an hour showing me round the car inside and out - the car itself was immaculately presented. They advised me on the finance and insurance options . They talked me through the purchase of the car at every step of the way. I was particularly impressed when I asked about the price and the way they responded ; they gave my question serious thought and when into some detail and price comparison to justify the asking price which I thought was very fair. And when I went to collect the car - again the presentation was exceptional - and the whole experience was very special and never to be forgotten. In fact I couldn't fault them from start to finish.
1 week in and my life has changed!!! The car is beyond amazing...I'll be highly recommending yourself and Dove to my Surrey boy work mates!! Thanks for your support throughout.
"A first class experience. It was a joy to deal with Dove House. I would not hesitate to recommend your company. Truly an oasis of motoring excellence"
'Past experience of buying cars has not always been particularly pleasurable. Usually the first obstacle is the salesperson who never listens to what you want and has the impression of doing you a favour. In my opinion Dove House have re-written the book in this repect. Harvey, who handled my purchase of the Aston Martin DB7 never pressurised me but gave me support. On the occassions I had to visit or contact your company, all the staff were welcoming and created a relaxed atmosphere. I have already told friends and colleagues about Dove House and will not hesitate in supporting you in the future.
I've been dealing with Dove House and will be picking up a 987.2 S tomorrow. I have to say that to date the whole process has been very pleasant, with the main point of contact being Harvey Beaumont. I always consider initial impressions to be paramount, this guy has it nailed. The level of service has been exceptional, there's never been any pressure, a genuine interest in your needs, and just honest information freely given by a true enthusiast who would happily talk motors all day long...insert a constantly yawning wife! Harvey sensed this and gave her the keys to go sit and play in the Aventador and Ferrari California! Coffee's not too bad either! To be fair there was little scope for a price reduction, it had been recently reduced, however; by way of prep the car has had a brake fluid change, 2 x new 'N' tyres, 12 months MOT and I've just received a phone call to say it's good to go, now being valeted and then a "oh, by the way we decided to change out all 4 discs and have fitted new pads, they were not to our in house requirements". This was said in such a manner, just slipped into the conversation really, as to be 'routine'. Nice. (I had previously checked the discs and really didn't consider them to be worn anywhere near to limits). So, all in all I'm pretty happy so far. Dove House experience, part two. Well, I picked up the Cayman from Dove House on Saturday. I wanted an early start for the 2 hour trip and I was going to be dependant on the wife taking me. In order to achieve this my prep was immaculate, 4 days out and the housework was completed (along with with an extensive maintenance programme), meals all cooked, bath run every evening and accompanied by a glass of Suav Blanc, cats fed on time, flowers 2 days out...best laid plans and all that... Anyway, we made it pretty much to schedule to be greeted by Harvey. We were taken to view the car which was presented in the handover bay, it had been thoroughly valeted and polished to a high shine. Upon inspection it was evident that the discs and pads had been changed out for new, (see above post) and in addition Harvey informed me that the battery had also been changed. Impressive, cue smile. Paperwork completed and keys handed over, along with a complimentary Porsche leather key fob, and we went back to be shown around the car to be given a comprehensive 'this is where everything is' tutorial. Cue big smile. Get in car, drive home...cue massive bloody smile all the way home! To summarise, it was a very pleasant experience and one I'm sure would have been identical if I were to be buying one of the very high end cars in stock. Thanks Harvey!
Sales representative was very helpful, not at all 'pushy' and allowed time and space to make a decision. Impressive aftercare, would definitely recommend and would return for future purchases. Fantastic car!
I was seeking to buy a Porsche 911 (964) of a rare and precise specification - C2, Manual, Coupe, Very low mileage, original concours unrefurbished condition. I had been looking for some months without success. (There are quite a few varied 911(964s) around but not to such exact criteria.) When a car of that description was advertised on the Dove House web site I enquired immediately only to find that the car had sold to the first inquirer just before me - the first day it was advertised. One month later I was contacted by Dove House to tell me the car was back in their showroom, the previous buyer having found the car was not suited for his Central London daily commuting requirements in heavy traffic. I was able to negotiate the purchase quickly with a very friendly, efficient and supportive sales team, who helped to make the whole process easy and enjoyable. I am very happy with my as new, rare and valuable Porsche, which I am confident I acquired from a very reputable dealership.
On behalf of Su and myself, thank you so much for your time and trouble in preparing the GT3 to such a high standard. Yes, of course you are a business and thus your main aim is to make money but we both were most impressed with your professionalism and attitude. Certainly a company to do business with and rest assured we will make sure that members of Porsche Club Great Britain are made aware of this. The drive home was great and Su had a smile on her face the whole time (well apart from when I insisted of a go). Thank you once again.
Excellent customer service. Happy to answer my questions. I would definitely recommend Dove House to anyone.
First class service, a very good experience buying a car at your dealership, many thanks.
Really happy with the experience!
Once again it was a pleasure doing business at Dove House. The atmosphere is relaxing but professional, the staff are extremely friendly and knowledgable and Harvey does his upmost to ensure customer satisfaction.
Courteous and knowledgeable staff made the buying process easy and stress free. They honoured every word of their verbal agreement. Excellent service.
Exceptional! This is the first sports car I have bought in over 35 years and was a little hesitant. The team were superb and patiently answered my endless questions. At all stages of the purchasing process I felt I was in very professional and reassuring hands. I can't recommend them enough and would give them 6 stars! I will definitely be using Dove House for servicing.
I would just like to say a big thank you to you. I'm so pleased with my Porsche, everybody that sees the car comments on what a nice car it is. I was so happy with the way you went about doing business. You offer a great service from initial consultation down to collection of the car. It's a shame other companies don't share the same passion that yourself and all the staff at Dove House have. I will certainly be dealing with Dove House again in the future and will be highly recommending you to anybody that is looking to purchase a Supercar. Thank you once again.
Firstly just wanted to reaffirm what we said on Saturday - we thoroughly enjoyed buying the Porsche Cayman from Dove Motor Co, you were an absolute joy to deal with, we so wish our other car purchases over the years had been as much fun! And secondly...... I absolutely love her (we decided she's definitely a 'her'!), the Mercedes is spending a bit more time on the drive at the moment!!!!! We will be back!!!
'I am delighted with the 996 C4S I bought from Nick. The sales process was very straight forward with no pressures at all, different to a number of other dealers I visited! Behind the scenes Tony and Philip (in the workshop) worked hard to make sure my car was mechanically spot on and the results speak for themselves. Tony and Philip need real praise too, qualified Porsche tecnicians, these guys are the real deal and my car will now be worked on by some of the best in the business. Thanks to all the team!
Quick note to say how pleased I was with the work on the Ferrari. Car running really well and spotless detailing too! Many thanks to Ed and everyone.
These guys made buying my 911 a fantastically seamless experience. I was very impressed with the quality and variety of their stock. My sales contact was Nick who was very knowledgeable and helpful. Being a salesman myself I admired his professionalism. He was never pushy and made me feel very comfortable throughout. As far as the car is concerned I'm absolutely delighted and wouldn't hesitate in giving them my highest recommendation!
I recently heard that your company was opening up as an independent service centre for Porsche cars, therefore I took the opportunity of trying your workshops by booking my car in for a service and to have some remedial work undertaken on the exhaust system. From the initial call to your Service Manager Tony, to discuss prices etc and throughout having the work done, the customer care and service afforded to me was absolutely superb. By the way, your coffee is excellent! Having dealt with various OPC's in the past, I think they could learn something from your team in giving true value for money and personal customer care. Your technicians were most helpful and friendly. I sincerely cannot praise your team highly enough and I will most certainly spread the word about Dove House at every opportunity. I am an active member of the 'On Line' Porsche community and I will certainly be recommending your business on the various forums. I wish you every success with the workshop, you have one very happy customer who will most certainly be back.
Very good service and a pleasure to deal with. You are now our 'performance car' supplier of choice.
I love the car! I would have no hesitation in recommending Dove House and will certainly be back in touch when I am next in the market for another Porsche.
Fantastic company, a pleasure to deal with. Excellent advice and service.
Harvey dealt with my purchase and I was entirely satisfied with his handling of the sale. The car is superb, and I was thoroughly reassured by your comany's approach to getting the car fit for purchase. This included the multi-point check, replacement of a damaged windscreen and front wheel bearings which had been raised as an issue at the MOT. As a non-mechanically orientated person who just likes to drive, I found the business of buying a second-hand car through your company very easy. The fact that you have your own mechanics on-site is particularly reassuring. I was confident that I was buying a good car that had been thouroughly checked out. I am pleased I found the car via a posting on eBay. This particular specification of Mercedes is very rare and I was pleased to have come across it. I had been searching for this particular colour and specification for a year. I'm glad to have done business with you.
'Approximately a year ago I purchased a Maserati from your dealership, which at the time, was unknown to me. Since then I received nothing but quality service from your staff. As I am away a great deal of the year overseas the few odd things that have gone wrong have been taken care of without questions, while the vehicle was under warranty. Being a business man myself I have to commend you and say you are extremely lucky to have Harvey and Tony working for you. I would use your company when I purchase another vehicle and would recommend your dealership to my friends. Thank you for your exceptional service'.
I have recently purchased a used BMW M5 from Dove House Motor Company and would recommend them to anyone looking to buy a prestige second hand vehicle. Nick the sales manager I dealt with was extremely knowledgeable and acted with professionalism throughout the process.
Driving now for almost 50 years, I can honestly say my recent experience with the Dove House Motor Company has been one of the very best. At no time was there any pressure, and the selection of hand picked high performance cars on offer were superb. Probably not the cheapest, but you only get what you pay for, and this experience at least, showed you are paying for the very best. And it goes further, for if you want to learn more about the cars, technical or otherwise, the very polite guys at Dove House will explain all. It seems nothing is too much trouble. I would say to anyone looking to purchase the type of car Dove House specialise in, its well worth travelling to Rushden, don't think you'd be disappointed. I would recommend them most strongly.


James Franco is a man of myriad creative pursuits. There are, of course, his many on-screen appearances -- his humorous performances on "Freaks and Geeks," "Pineapple Express," to more dramatic turns in Sam Raimi's "Spider Man" films,"127 Hours," "True Story" and more. Then there was his stint on "General Hospital" as a serial killer, his Broadway run on "Of Mice and Men," his art, his writing and his directing. And he also happens to be in a band.
If you're wondering what drives his polymathic tendencies, a good place to start might be this short film, the latest in BBH L.A.'s work for Google Play and California Sunday. Here, Franco talks about growing up in Palo Alto, California as the son of a children's book author and a techie. The latter, his father, Franco says was always working on multiple projects, just as the actor does today. As a kid, he was given to vandalizing and thieving (cologne, of all things), and after becoming a ward of the court he started to channel his creative energies into pursuits such as filmmaking and storytelling.
Now, "all the things I do, I think they're kind of connected in one way or another," he says. "At least in my head, what I'm trying to do is just find the best forum for it, but maybe it looks like I'm just kind of a mad scientist gone off the rails."
The film, directed by Julian Glander, is a fun addition to the Google Play/California Sunday series of animated videos that look into the creative roots of many California-born or -nurtured creative types, including Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon, Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh, Director Mike Mills and Actor/Musician Jack Black.

Q: Exchange Facebook SDK acces token for Azure B2C acces token I'm currently working on a mobile app and I want to use Facebook SDK access token on android to authenticate against a .NET Web Api.The Web Api is secured with Azure B2C Identity Management.
My Azure B2C Identity Management system uses Facebook as Identity provider.
What I want to achieve is to acquire an access token silently from the Azure B2C Identity Management System based on the Facebook SDK access token. The reason I want to achieve this is that if the user has already installed Facebook app on his mobile to not be forced to reenter his credentials.
I found this post which does something similar but using mobile services on azure https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/carlosfigueira/2014/01/07/using-the-facebook-android-sdk-for-logging-in-to-azure-mobile-services/
What I want to achieve is something similar but using Azure B2C Signin Policy.
Any ideas on how this can be done?

A: I believe this isn't supported. You would instead have to use an OpenID Connect SDK like AppAuth instead.
AppAuth uses features like Chrome Custom Tabs which shares cookies with the main browser so users don't have to re-login to sites like facebook.
Also, there is an official tutorial for using AppAuth with Android using Azure AD B2C.

NFL Conference Playoffs 2012: San Francisco 49ers v New York Giants
The NFL conference playoff game between the San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants at Candlestick Park will see the victor claim the NFC Championship and progress to the Super Bowl. Latest NFL Lines for this game see the 49ers as -2.5 point spread favorites and the over under total is at O/U 42 which is down two points from the opening. The NFL Odds or moneyline odds currently have San Francisco at -133 (1.75) and the Giants +120 (2.2).
Last week the 49ers overcame the Saints (36-32) in an exciting clash that came down to the final seconds. San Francisco's defense was impressive in the 1st quarter, paving the way for the 49ers to take a 14-0 lead. Alex Smith and his offense were kept pretty quite in the 2nd and 3rd quarters but were able to get the job done when it counted in the 4th. With that win the 49ers covered the (+3.5) point spread, cashed on the moneyline at +171 (2.72) opening and around +149 (2.49) closing. The combined 68 points were more than enough to see the total go over the closing O/U 46.5.
Eli Manning and the New York Giants were to good for the Green Bay Packers last week running out (37-20) winners. We did question Green Bay's momentum and how much difference the week off and the fact that Aaron Rogers had not played in three weeks would make. Full credit to the Giants defense in containing the leading scorers in the league, however the uncharacteristic number of drop balls, fumbles and the at times out of sync offense by the Packers, most likely was not all due the Giants defense. That win saw the Giants cover the spread (+8.5), cash on the moneyline at around +339 (4.39) and the total cash for the over bet.
The San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers who finished 1st in the NFC West with a 13-3 record averaged 23.75 points per game and conceded only 14.31 for a points differential of (+9.44). At home they went 7-1 with a differential of (+16.75), their only home loss came in week 2 against the Cowboys (24-27). In NFL wagering during the regular season the 49ers were the most profitable team against the closing money line odds with a profit of +$835 and +$820 against the opening (for $100 bets each week). They also finished with a very handy point spread record of 12-3-1 and in over under betting they went 7-9.
The New York Giants
With a 9-7 record the New York Giants clinched 1st place in the NFC East. They had an overall points differential of (-.37) having averaged 24.63 points per game and allowing 25 ppg. On the road the Giants have a (-.88) differential going 5-3 with wins over PHI (29-16), ARI (31-27), NE (24-20), DAL (37-34) and NYJ (29-14). While their road losses were against WAS (14-28), SF (20-27) and NO (24-49). In wagering results for the regular season the Giants went 8-7-1 ATS, 9-7 in over under betting and +$598 against the opening moneyline odds and +$651 against the closing.
Their Last Meeting
These two teams last played in week 10 of this years regular season at Candlestick Park. On that occasion the 49ers closed as -4 point spread favorites after opening at -3.5. The over under total opened and closed at O/U 42.5 and the money line odds closed with the 49ers at -205 (1.49) and the Giants +184 (2.84). The 49ers prevailed (27-20) in a game where San Francisco's Justin Smith with 34 seconds on the clock batted down an Eli Manning pass on fourth and 2 from the 10 yard line to help secure the win for his team.
The verdict - Here at TheFootballLines.com our numbers show value on the 49ers and we have bet them on the money line at -128 (1.781) and against the point spread -2.5. Our over under number is in line with the sportsbooks, so no play there.

Q: Intersection between two concave polygons in given direction Input: Two 3d concave polygons A and B, unit vector d. No polygons are intersecting at time t = 0. Expected that direction d will not change very often, so some preprocess phase is needed.
Problem: Determine if two concave polygons A and B can be intersected in direction d, at some time t. In another words: if we move one polygon in given direction d, would it intersect another polygon?
Output: 1 - intersection exist, 0 - othewise.

A: First you should find plane that is perpendicular to vector d.

For both 3d polygons you should calculate projection on this plane.
Then, if the projections are overlapping then the 3d polygons will intersect at some time t.
Now you have simpler problem: checking if two 2d non-convex polygons are intersecting.
You can do it by simply iterate over every pair of edges and check if they are intersecting.


Let's face it, celebrating Valentine's Day in elementary school is a little silly.
So we developed our on holiday. On the second Friday in February 500 kids and teachers now participate in a school-wide celebration of reading.
Developed in our classroom, the second Friday in February is now dedicated to a school wide celebration of reading.
I created the video to model how we can look to our collective experiences as inspiration for writing. Finding the language to reflect back to students the importance of how they felt about themselves on that day required us all to take a risk.
...it's become tradition for students to check the class website right before bed for a sneak peek at the schedule crafted specifically for that year's class.
2015: Students hold our NASA themed class read-a-thon flag after being particularly jazzed over the story of the Mars Curiosity Rover.
2017: When it came time to settle on a team name for this year's read-a-thon, the kids suggested "Lil' Lewis Library" after the name they gave to their class group-text: "Little Lewis's" which was the first time I learned out community seeped into their personal space. Cool.
Their enthusiasm inspired me to keep the traditions evolving. From comfy attire (left) to mentoring younger students (below).
2009: The community outside of our classroom first took an interest in adopting our holiday after seeing this picture. Seeing so many boys get into the spirit of identifying themselves as readers was uncommon at the time.
2014: Partnering with a classroom of 3rd grade students established our class as reader leaders ensuring that younger kids internalized the message: nobody's too cool for reading, especially when it comes to cool picture books.
(left) Alison Morris of First Book, a non-profit organization devoted to getting high-quality literature into disadvantaged schools, discusses the importance of books as windows into the lives of others and mirrors into our own thinking.
(below) Jonathan Auxier reads an unreleased excerpt from his upcoming novel The Night Gardener.
With the help of a few of my Minecraft aficionados, we turned Ms. Kelliher's desk into a giant brick using a total of 2,000 books transported from our classroom library!
When I arrived to school on the morning of December 21, 2017, I was greeted by a note on the front board. Two students from my 2015 class came to visit the prior afternoon but I had already left. So they took it upon themselves to dig their class flag out of the closet and hang it back up. My current class was understandably curious so I played them the 2015 video. A little mythology builds a lot of anticipation.

Far left Israel Middle East peace process Palestinians Progressive Jews
Why advocating a one-state solution does not help the Palestinians
Uri Avnery, a longtime dove and gadfly of the Israeli establishment, is often quoted by people on the anti-Israel far left and Arab intellectuals. There are few Israeli Jews who have fought harder for the Palestinians or have taken a more uncompromising stand against Israel's treatment of them. So it is worth reading a persuasive essay on his website, which explains why efforts to push for a one-state solution or all-out boycotts of Israel are not only doomed to failure; these efforts do more harm than good to the victims of Israel's occupation.
Avnery is way to the left of me; he is so far to the left he is on the Palestinian right. So please read carefully, International Solidarity Movement admirers, Jews Against the Occupation, fans of Phil Weiss and others who refuse to endorse a 2-state solution. You might not take left-wing, pro-Israel types like me seriously. Surely you need to take Uri Avnery seriously.
I'll include a long excerpt and hope you will stay with it. After describing those who think there is a "one-size-fit all solution" that applies to both Israel and South Africa, he writes:
.THIS WEEK I listened to a lecture by Professor Ilan Pappe of Haifa University, one of the leading spokesmen for [the idea of a boycott and a one-state solution] The audience consisted of Palestinian, Israeli and international activists in Bil'in, the village that has become a symbol of resistance to the occupation. He presented a well-structured set of ideas, expressed with eloquence and enthusiasm. These were the principles:
There is no sense in opposing just the occupation, nor any other particular policy of the Israeli government. The problem is the very essence of Israel as a Zionist state. This essence is unchangeable as long as the state exists. No change from the inside is possible, because in Israel there is no essential difference between Right and Left. Both are accomplices in a policy whose real aim is ethnic cleansing, the expulsion of the Palestinians not only from the occupied territories, but also from Israel proper.
Therefore, everyone who strives for a just solution must aim at the establishment of a single state, to which the refugees of 1948 and 1967 will be invited to return. This will be a joint and egalitarian state, like today's South Africa.
There is no sense in trying to change Israel from the inside. Salvation will come from the outside: a world-wide boycott of Israel, which will cause the state to collapse and convince the Israeli public that there is no escape from the One-State Solution.
It sounded logical and convincing, and the speaker did indeed gain applause.
THIS THEORETICAL structure contains several assumptions with which I have no quarrel. The Zionist Left has indeed collapsed in the last few years, and its absence from the field of struggle is a painful and dangerous fact. In today's Knesset, there is no effective Zionist party that is seriously fighting for real equality for the Arab citizens. Nobody is able today to call out into the street hundreds of thousands, or even tens of thousands, in order to pressure the government to accept the peace proposal of the whole Arab world.
There is no doubt that the real disease is not the 40-year long occupation. The occupation is a symptom of a more profound disease, which is connected with the official ideology of the state. The aim of ethnic cleansing and the establishment of a Jewish State from the sea to the river is dear to the hearts of many Israelis, and perhaps Rabbi Meir Kahane was right when he asserted that this is everybody's unspoken desire.
But unlike professor Pappe, I am convinced that it is possible to change the historical direction of Israel. I am convinced that this is the real battlefield for the Israeli peace forces, and I myself have been engaged in it for decades.
Moreover, I believe that we have already attained impressive achievements: the recognition of the existence of the Palestinian people has become general, and so has the readiness of most Israelis to accept the idea of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as the capital of both states. We have compelled our government to recognize the PLO, and we shall compel them to recognize Hamas. True, all this would not have happened without the steadfastness of the Palestinian people and (sometimes) favorable international circumstances, but the contribution of the Israeli peace forces, which pioneered these ideas, was significant.
Also, the notion has lately gained acceptance in Israel and other countries, that peace will be achieved only if we succeed in overcoming the gap between the Israeli and the Palestinian narratives and in integrating them into one single historical account, which will recognize the injustices which have been committed and which are still going on. Nothing is more important. (Our path-breaking booklet "Truth Against Truth" was the beginning of this process.)
On the surface, it appears that we have failed. We have not succeeded in compelling our government to stop the building of the wall or the enlargement of the settlements, nor to restore to the Palestinians their freedom of movement. In short, we have not succeeded in putting an end to the occupation. The Arab citizens of Israel have not attained real equality. But beneath the surface, in the depths of national consciousness, we are succeeding. The question is how to turn the hidden success into an open political fact. In other words: how to change the policy of the Israeli government.
The idea of the "One-State Solution" will harm this effort very much..
It. diverts the effort from a solution that has now, after many years, a broad public basis, in favor of a solution that has no chance at all.
There is no doubt that 99.99% of Jewish Israelis want the State of Israel to exist as a state with a robust Jewish majority, whatever its borders.
The belief that a world-wide boycott could change this is a complete illusion. Immediately after his lecture, my colleague Adam Keller asked the professor a simple question: "The entire world has imposed a blockade on the Palestinian people. But in spite of the terrible misery of the Palestinians, they have not been brought to their knees. Why do you think that a boycott would break the Israeli public, which is far stronger economically, so that they would give up the Jewish character of the state?" (There was no answer.)
In any case, such a boycott is quite impossible. Here and there, an organization can declare a boycott, small circles of justice-lovers can keep it, but there is no chance that in the coming decades a world-wide boycott movement, like the one that broke the racist regime in South Africa, will come about. That regime was headed by declared asmirers of the Nazis. A boycott of the "Jewish State", which is identified with the victims of the Nazis, just will not happen. It will be enough to remind people that the long road to the gas chambers started with the 1933 Nazi slogan "Kauft nicht bei Juden" ("Don't buy from Jews").
(The obnoxious fact that the government of the "State of the Holocaust Survivors" had close relations with the Apartheid State does not change this situation.)
That is the problem with the bed of Sodom: one size does not fit all. When the circumstances are different, the remedies must be different, too.THE IDEA of the "One-State Solution" can attract people who despair of the struggle for the soul of Israel. I do understand them. But it is a dangerous idea, especially for the Palestinians.
Statistically, the Israeli Jews constitute, as of now, the absolute majority between the sea and the river. To that, one must add an even more important fact: the average annual income of an Arab Palestinian is about 800 dollars, that of a Jewish Israeli is about 20,000 dollars – 25 times (!) higher. The Israeli economy is growing every year. The Palestinians would be "hewers of wood and drawers of water". That means that if the imaginary joint state did indeed come into being, the Jews there would wield in it absolute power. They would, of course, use this power to consolidate their dominance and prevent the return of refugees.
Thus the South African example could come true retroactively: in the Single State, an apartheid-like regime would indeed come into being. Not only would the Israeli-Palestinian conflict not be solved, but on the contrary, it would move into an even more dangerous phase.
Pappe put forward an argument that looked a bit strange to me: that a Single State already exists in practice, since Israel rules from the sea to the river. But that is not so. There is no single state, neither formally nor in practice, but one state occupying another. Such a state, in which a dominant nation controls the others, will eventually disintegrate – as did the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia.
The One State will not come into being. Not only the Israelis, but most of the Palestinians, too, will not give up their right to a national state of their own. They can applaud an Israeli professor who advocates the dismantling of the State of Israel, but they have no time to wait for utopian solutions that could be realized in a hundred years. They need an end to the occupation and to achieve a solution to the conflict here and now, in the near future.
ALL WHO wholeheartedly want to help the occupied Palestinian people would be well advised to keep well away from the idea of a general boycott of Israel. It would push all Israelis into the arms of the extreme Right, because it would reinforce the right-wing belief that "All the world is against us" – a belief that took root in the years of the Holocaust, when "all the world looked on and kept silent". Every Israeli child learns this in school.
A focused boycott against specific organizations and corporations that actively contribute to the occupation can indeed help in convincing the Israeli public that the occupation is not worthwhile. Such a boycott can achieve a specific aim – if it is not aimed at the collapse of the State of Israel. Gush Shalom, to which I belong, has for 10 years been organizing a boycott of the products of the settlements. The aim is to isolate the settlers and their accomplices. But a general boycott on the State of Israel would achieve the very opposite – to isolate the Israeli peace activists.
THE "TWO-STATE SOLUTION" was and still is the only solution. When we put it forward immediately after the 1948 war, we could be counted on the fingers of two hands not only in Israel but in the entire world. Now there exists a world-wide consensus about it. The path to this solution is not smooth, many dangers lurk on the way, but it is a realistic solution that can be achieved.
One can say: OK, we will accept the Two-State Solution because it is realistic, but after its realization we shall endeavor to abolish the two states and establish one joint state. That is alright with me. As for myself, I hope that in the course of time a federation of the two states will come into being, and relations between the two will become close. I also hope that a regional union, like the EU, will be established, consisting of all the Arab states and Israel, and perhaps also Turkey and Iran.
But first of all we must treat the wound from which we are all suffering: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Not by patent medicines, certainly not by a bed of Sodom, but with the medicines that are on the shelf.
THE 18th CHAPTER of Genesis tells of Abraham trying to convince the Almighty not to obliterate Sodom. "Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city; wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?"
God promised him not to destroy the town if there were 50 righteous in it. Abraham haggled and brought the Almighty down to 45, then 40, 30 and 20, finally settling for 10. But in Sodom there were no 10 righteous to be found, and so its fate was sealed.
I believe that in Israel there are many, many more than ten righteous people. All public opinion polls show that the great majority of Israelis not only want peace, but are ready to pay its price. But they are afraid. They lack trust. They are shackled by the beliefs they acquired in early childhood. They must be freed from them – and I believe that it can be done.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas warned on Thursday that he might not run for re-election in January, although it's not clear if the announcement should be taken seriously, as it might be a ploy to pressure the U.S. and Israel. It's useful to remember that, like this blog, Abbas has been assailed by extremists from […]

Q: Let $G$ be a set with associative binary operation and a unit. Let $G$ be a set with associative binary operation and a unit. Assume that for every $ g \in G$ there exists $ x \in G$ with $xg = 1$. Prove that $gx = 1$ is a consequence.
That above is the question, and i think i have the answer however I need clarification on the unit part of the question.
So by saying there is a unit in the set, does this mean that the neutral element is 1, and that the statement is saying that for $ x \in G$ there exists a left inverse $x$ such that $xg = 1$. And conversely we can say that for every $x$ there exists a left inverse say $g'$ such that $g'x=1$. And then by associativity i have proved the consequence.
Is this the right way to go and the simplest?

A: Denote $x$ by $x_g$. then for each $g$:
$$gx_g=1gx_g=x_{x_g}x_ggx_g=x_{x_g}1x_g=x_{x_g}x_g=1$$

What are the National Spanish Examinations?
The National Spanish Examinations are a motivational contest to recognize student achievement in the study of Spanish and to stimulate further interest in the teaching and learning of Spanish.
The National Spanish Examinations are online, standardized assessment tools for Grades 7 -12, given voluntarily by about 4000 middle and high school teachers throughout the United States to measure performance (interpretive communication) and achievement of students who are studying Spanish as a second language.
From 1957 until 2005, the National Spanish Examinations were administered in a paper and pencil format. Since 2006, the National Spanish Examinations have been administered in an online format through the Quia Corporation and was the first national world language exam administered online.
The National Spanish Examinations are the most widely used tests of Spanish in the United States. In the spring of 2020, a total of 140,000 students registered for the National Spanish Examinations.
The National Spanish Examinations are recognized by many administrative and teaching associations and organizations at the local, state and national levels. The National Association of Secondary School Principals has placed this program on the NASSP National Advisory List of Contests and Activities for 2020-2021.
What is the purpose of the National Spanish Examinations?
The purpose of the National Spanish Examinations is
to recognize achievement in the study of the Spanish language
to promote proficiency in interpretive communication in the Spanish language
to assess the national standards as they pertain to learning Spanish
to stimulate further interest in the teaching and learning of Spanish
Many teachers state that they use the National Spanish Examinations to prepare students to take other standardized tests such as AP, IB, SAT II and college placement exams.
Many administrators state that they can use data from the National Spanish Examinations to create reports to show how their schools have improved over an academic year.
What is the mission of the National Spanish Examinations?
The mission of the National Spanish Examinations (NSE) is to recognize student achievement and to promote language proficiency in the study of Spanish.
NSE is committed to providing teachers with assessment tools and offering students opportunities to know their language skill ratings in vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension, and listening comprehension.

Beypazarı és una vila de l'Anatòlia Central i districte de la província d'Ankara. Es troba a 98 km a l'oest de la ciutat d'Ankara i a 700 m d'altitud. El Mont Hidirlik (Hıdırlık Tepe) divideix la vila en dos: la ciutat moderna y el poble tradicional. La seva economia depèn de l'agricultura i el turisme, ja que tant la gastronomia tradicional de la regió com els konaks (grans cases tradicionals de Turquia) d'arquitectura otomana utilitzats com a hotels atreuen especialment els turistes turcs per una visita nostalgica als temps otomans. Beypazarı es famós a Turquia per les seves pastanagues (70 % de la producció nacional) i també dona el seu nom a una mena de pa dur, anomenat Beypazarı kurusu ("sec de Beypazarı" en turc). Anualment, Beypazarı celebra el "Festival de la Pastanaga, Güveç (estofat turc tradicional), Artesania i Cases tradicionals" cada primer cap de setmana de juny. La part tradicional de la vila, amb els carrers estrets, cases otomanes, mercat d'artesanies, restaurants i cafés, es considera un museu a l'aire lliure. Beypazarı té un "Museu viu" (turc: Yaşayan Müze) que es dedica a la història i cultura de Beypazarı.

Eagles OL Lane Johnson Confidently States Carson Wentz 'Ready for Prime Time' Season
Jonathan Sherman
Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is certainly considered to be one of the most promising young quarterbacks in the NFL.
Unfortunately, injuries have derailed his opportunities to prove his full worth in the postseason. However, offensive lineman Lane Johnson is confident that the 2020 season will be Wentz's opportunity to prove his doubters wrong.
Lane said as much when he appeared on "Good Morning Football."
.@Eagles OT @LaneJohnson65 joined #GMFB to talk about the offensive additions, @cj_wentz, his Oline summit, and what it will be like playing without fans this season. pic.twitter.com/FxMqAavov8

"I think we all have something to prove every year," he said. "Especially with how last year ended, him coming out early with the hit by [Jadeveon] Clowney, as far as just competitiveness, his drive, this is it for him. As far as having the pieces around him this year and really ready to click, I think he's ready for a prime time season, and when he's healthy, man, he's so dangerous, and I think we'll see more of that what you just saw across the screen."
Wentz burst onto the scene as a star quarterback during the 2017 NFL season. Sadly, he tore his ACL in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams. Incredibly, his Eagles went on to win Super Bowl LII.
The next season, Wentz missed a number of games due to injury.
Last year, Wentz helped lead the Eagles to an NFC East title. Unfortunately, he was forced to leave the NFC wild-card game against the Seattle Seahawks after suffering a head injury. The Eagles ultimately lost that game, ending their season.
Now, Wentz will look to continue his strong production and shed the reputation he has gained for being injury prone.
If he can stay healthy, there's little doubt that Wentz has what it takes to prove Johnson right and be one of the more dangerous quarterbacks in the NFL.

He made the switch to defensive line heading into the 2016 campaign and saw action in seven games recording 12 solo stops and a forced fumbles. He started 11 games as a senior in 2017 tallying 16 solo tackles and also recorded touchdown after scooping up a blocked punt against Illinois State and returning it 15 yards for a major.
Mack was a Sociology Major in university and loves to spend his time away from the field either playing piano or traveling with friends.
