Another OPEC deal
Dec 06 2016 | Hilliard MacBeth
Another OPEC deal and the price of crude oil soars about 10 percent from $45 to $50.
Several OPEC deals have been touted in the two years since 2014, when the oil price slide accelerated. From June 2014 at $105 to February 2016 at $27 crude oil measured by WTI crashed. Most deals fell apart.
Will this latest deal hold and will the price of crude continue to rebound?

Once again the world markets buy into the OPEC story that supply will tighten and prices will rise.
But according to John Kemp at ThomsonReuters.com there are some issues:
The agreement provides for cuts of 1.2 million barrels/day (BPD) from OPEC members, led by Saudi Arabia, and a smaller undetermined amount from non-OPEC suppliers like Russia. Canada and the U.S. are not included in the deal.
The cuts only bring production back to earlier in 2016, since the production levels used as a base are at the record high October production statistics.
As well, Russia carries the second-biggest burden, after Saudi Arabia, by agreeing to gradually reduce its production by up to 300,000 bpd. Unfortunately, nobody was able to pin down Russia on the crucial benchmark production level that the cuts would be calculated from. Russia is nearing Saudi levels of production at more than 10 million bpd.
OPEC-founding-member Iran, the Saudi arch enemy which has scuttled previous agreements, changed its tune from previous meetings when it insisted on free reign to increase production. Iran's argument was that it had suffered from sanctions for years and only recently has been freed up to increase sales. In order to agree to a cut, Iran negotiated a benchmark level of peak production going back to 2005, so the cut is 178,000 bpd from that high-water mark. So in reality Iran will be increasing production to about 4 million bpd.
Swiss-based investment bank Credit Suisse believes that the deal is the real and that it will significantly impact the excess supply of oil in the market. In their bull market scenario oil goes to about $75 by mid-2017, unless shale production grows quickly. If U.S. shale production rebounds, the price increase would be limited to about $60.

The flaw in this is obvious. Why would OPEC plus non-OPEC major producer Russia reduce their production so that U.S. shale and non-shale producers like Canada can increase production to prior peak levels of 9.5 million bpd in the U.S. and 4 million bpd in Canada?
In a Bloomberg story, Javier Blais, Bloomberg reporter, points out that Abhishek Deshpande, from investment firm Natixis in London, isn't convinced that OPEC is back.
The agreement relies on self-compliance and commitments are weak, especially from Iraq and Iran. OPEC members don't even agree on how to measure the size of production so cheating becomes quite easy to do, without any risk of getting caught.
The only OPEC member that has traditionally stuck to its quota is Saudi Arabia. The Saudis have borne the brunt of the cuts needed to get the market back into balance over the years. But back in 2014 they announced a change in policy and that if the price plummeted as a result of their reluctance to cut, that might be a good thing.
In a May 2016 article in Foreign Affairs, the author points out that oil left in the ground for more than 30 years might remain there forever, as the world shifts to a post-carbon era. For this reason Saudi production could be increased to take advantage of the current demand, even if the price falls as a result.
The fear of being stuck with "stranded assets" couldn't have disappeared in the last six months. From that article:

So it's correct to be wary of this latest agreement. The long term trend for oil prices is still down, and the survival of OPEC as a cartel is still very much in doubt.

Who is PR?
CEOs and Politics
When it comes to politics, most corporate CEOs are Switzerland, with no enemies and friends on all sides.
But now two academics have taken to the pages of the New York Times to suggest CEOs might want to step up their game. They suggest that, as brands seek to "personalize" their relationships with consumers, "adopting a political orientation might be part of closing the deal."
As they put it, "In an era of political polarization, corporate neutrality may be outdated. Perhaps it is better in 2016 to be intensely loved by a few than inoffensive to many."
They even see evidence CEOs can contribute to political change when they take a public stance "on controversial issues like race relations and gender equality that are unrelated to their core businesses." And they think this new outspokenness can increase sales at the same time.
Aaron K. Chatterji of the Fuqua School of Business at Duke and Michael W. Toffel of Harvard Business School admit their position is based largely on anecdotal evidence.
For example, after the chief executives of Intel, Salesforce.com, and Unilever opposed a "religious liberty" bill allowing faith-based businesses to discriminate against same-sex couples, Republican Gov. Nathan Deal of Georgia promised to veto it.
That was consistent with an earlier field experiment they conducted when Apple CEO Tim Cook expressed opposition to a similar bill in Indiana.
In that experiment, when voters were exposed to a statement of Cook's position, support for the bill declined among all but opponents of gay marriage. Interestingly, purchase intent for Apple products increased among gay marriage supporters.
While it's important for CEOs to demonstrate they care about issues important to their customers, I don't think they should drag their companies into controversies "unrelated to their business," as the good professors put it.
From a practical, dollars and cents point of view, why would a company want to alienate any customers and stakeholders? From an ethical perspective, spending shareowner money on something many might oppose, without a compelling business reason, is questionable.
Having said that, I would argue that gay marriage -- part of respecting the human dignity of gay people -- is important to any company's core business, as are race relations and gender equality.
No company can afford to ignore or marginalize employees, customers, or other stakeholders simply because of who they are. Not only would that be a serious violation of their rights, it would waste their talent.
The same logic applies to a number of other hot-button "cultural issues," depending on the company. Starbuck's, for example, has a legitimate reason for barring guns from its stores even in states with open carry laws.
Every company needs to make that judgment for itself. And while it may sound complicated, there is one fool-proof test. Before taking a position on an issue, ask yourself this: if the poop hits the fan on this, are you willing to go to the mat on this issue, to do whatever it takes to win?
If you can't say "yes" to that question, save yourself some grief and stay out of the fight.

Ever imagine what it might be like to play in a Gilded Age mansion with 33 acres of the Catskills to wander? Throw in a full bar stocked with exquisite craft beverages, a superb locavore chef, and wildly imaginative hospitality, and you begin to get the picture of Spillian, the unique co-creative endeavor unfolding just over the Delaware County line in the wee village of Fleischmanns.
The house itself is a marvel. A 5,000-square-foot stick-style manse built in the 1880s as part of a summer compound for the Fleischmanns Yeast family, it has a great room with a Steinway and harp and a formal dining room with chandeliers and a vast feasting table, both with working fireplaces. There are eight glorious, themed guest rooms with all the luxe comforts. The grounds feature a meadow with bonfire pit and stone stage and an antique gazebo. Even if Spillian were just an inn, it would be a remarkable one. But this particular lodge is further elevated by the vision and mission of its founders.
Cocktail hour brings not one but two hyperlocal signature drinks made with things like Tree Juice Maple Syrup, Union Grove vodka, and Bootlegger 21 bourbon from nearby Prohibition Distillery. Then it's time for the Trout Tales Feast, a seven-course smorgasbord built around exquisitely fresh trout from the nearby Beaverkill Trout Hatchery, elevated at the hands of chef Christian Van Etten. On the menu: trout caviar with crème fraîche and wild spring herbs; watercress, candied pear, and goat cheese salad with hard cider vinaigrette; smoked trout mousse with caramelized shallots and charred ramp; pan seared trout with maple glaze and wild garlic mustard chimichurri; farro risotto with wild mushrooms and greens; spring peas with miso butter and mint; and house-made caramelized celeriac ice cream.
But it's the fish stories that steal the show. "Saturday night is a total blast," Melander says. "People sport trout-shaped hats, bring audio-visual aids, there's singing going on. We have 50 people sitting around one giant table and getting up to share tales, at the end of the night we use wholly unscientific methods of gauging applause to pick the winner of the truly elegant porcelain fish we found on eBay for $20. They get to hold it for the night and come back to defend it the following year." Sunday morning is dedicated to learning how to smoke fresh trout over an open fire and then feasting on the results.
The event, in its fifth year, has spawned other Mythic Catskills Weekends at the Spillian Imaginarium, as Melander and her crew frolic their way through the adventure of Catskills placemaking. The Find Your Wild Spirits weekend in May will celebrate local libations, and The Leavening, to be held June 7, will celebrate the history of the place itself and the 150th anniversary of the founding of Fleischmann's Yeast.

Q: Android Grid View: Stack image on top of another Got a grid view, where each grid item comprises of 2 images and 1 text view.
The main image 'subjectIcon' always displays and in the example below is a red square with a stethescope. The second image, 'favouriteStatus' is a small star image that should display in the top right corner. The text sits underneath the 'subjectIcon' image.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="120dp"
        android:layout_height="170dp">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/subjectIcon"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="120dp"
        android:padding="0dp"
        android:scaleType="fitCenter"
        android:visibility="visible"
        app:srcCompat="@drawable/imagescenario" />

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/favouriteStatus"
        android:layout_width="36dp"
        android:layout_height="36dp"
        android:layout_marginStart="84dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
        android:scaleType="fitCenter"
        android:visibility="visible"
        app:srcCompat="@drawable/star_fill_drop" />

<TextView
        android:layout_width="120dp"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:id="@+id/subjectTitle"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
        android:layout_marginTop="120dp"
        android:text="Subject Title"/>

The design view shows this, which is what I want:

However, when I run the app, the star image is never shown. Interestingly if I have the text over the top of the main image, that sits on top and shows.
Been hitting my head against a wall now for 3 hours, what am I missing?
Thanks in advance

A: I have added Layout attributes of the RelativeLayout ViewGroup.
They will add constraints to the underlying widgets in order to fit withing the parent, and with respect to one another.
For instance, the ImageView that doesn't appear (favouriteStatus), added top and right/end constraints to the parent.

</RelativeLayout>

A: Firstly, many thanks to Zain for help above. Knowing it wasn't an issue with my XML made me look and alter another area where I found the issue, albeit I'm unsure why this is an issue.
In my code I had a simple IF/ELSE statement where if 'favStatus' was 1 then to show the star image, if 0 then do not.
Initially I had this code:
        if (favStatus.equals("1")) {favIcon.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);}
        else {favIcon.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);}

I found simple changing it to this worked:
        if (favStatus.equals("1")) {favIcon.setImageResource(R.drawable.star_fill_drop);}
        else {favIcon.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);}

I don't understand why VISIBLE did not work, and I had to set the image filename again (already done in XML) for it to show.
Anyway I have a solution. albeit one I'm not sure why, any enlightenment on this would be appreciated.

Q: analytic function on convex open subset of complex plane $f$ is analytic on a open convex subset $\Omega$ of the complex plane $C$ and $|f'|\leq1$ on $\Omega$

I want to show $|f(a)-f(b)| \leq |a-b|$ for $a, b \in \Omega$

How I can use the convex condition?

A: Convex implies the line $ L= \{ ta+(1-t)b \mid 0<t<1 \}$ is entirely contained in $\Omega$. Now apply the trivial bound to
$$ \int_L f'(z) \, dz = f(b)-f(a). $$

Q: How to group_by and summarise vectors inside a tibble into a single vector?
tibble(x = rep(1:3, 2),
       y = list(1:5, 1:10, 10:20, 20:40, 1:50, 5:10)) -> df

df
#> # A tibble: 6 × 2
#>       x y
#>   <int> <list>
#> 1     1 <int [5]>
#> 2     2 <int [10]>
#> 3     3 <int [11]>
#> 4     1 <int [21]>
#> 5     2 <int [50]>
#> 6     3 <int [6]>

I want to group_by 'x' and summmarise the vectors of each group into a single vector. I tried using c(), but it didn't help.
df %>%
  group_by(x) %>%
  summarise(z = c(y))
#> `summarise()` has grouped output by 'x'. You can override using the `.groups`
#> argument.
#> # A tibble: 6 × 2
#> # Groups:   x [3]
#>       x z
#>   <int> <list>
#> 1     1 <int [5]>
#> 2     1 <int [21]>
#> 3     2 <int [10]>
#> 4     2 <int [50]>
#> 5     3 <int [11]>
#> 6     3 <int [6]>

I also want a union of elements in a group or any other similar function applied to these kinds of datasets.
df %>%
  group_by(x) %>%
  summarise(z = union(y))
#> Error in `summarise()`:
#> ! Problem while computing `z = union(y)`.
#> ℹ The error occurred in group 1: x = 1.
#> Caused by error in `base::union()`:
#> ! argument "y" is missing, with no default

A: If you want the data to remain nested, you can do
df %>%
  group_by(x) %>%
  summarise(z = list(unlist(y)))

The c() function won't work because it' doesn't unnest-lists. For example, compare
c(list(1:3, 4:5))
unlist(list(1:3, 4:5))

The c function doesn't return a single vector. But unlist does. This matters because your function will recieve a list of matching row values when you use summarize.
Also note that if you leave off the list(), the values don't be nested anymore
df %>%
  group_by(x) %>%
  summarise(z = unlist(y))
#        x     z
#    <int> <int>
#  1     1     1
#  2     1     2
#  3     1     3
#  4     1     4
#  5     1     5
#  6     1    20
#  7     1    21
#  ...


Fifty people have been extrajudicially executed by park guards in the last three years, at India's infamous "shoot on sight" national park. Innocent tribal people face being shot, beaten, tortured and killed at the hands of heavily armed park officials. Last year guards shot a 7 year-old tribal boy. Akash (pictured) spent five months in hospital and is now maimed for life. All this is being done in the name of conservation.
Kaziranga National Park promotes extra-judicial executions by encouraging guards to "kill the unwanted." There are plans to introduce this policy in tiger reserves across India. Tribal people are already being beaten and harassed into leaving their forest homes. Arming the guards would result in even more violence against India's tribes.
But targeting tribal people diverts action away from tackling the true poachers – criminals conspiring with corrupt officials. Targeting tribal people harms conservation.
It's time for a global outcry against extrajudicial killing and torture in the name of conservation. It wouldn't be tolerated in any other field and it should be loudly condemned by all those who care about human rights and the environment.
Please write to India's Minister of Environment and Forests, asking him to ban "shoot on sight" policies in India's national parks and tiger reserves, to uphold the law and stop all evictions that don't have the free, prior and informed consent of the tribal communities concerned.

NESV threat to walk is an early worry
Do Liverpool's potential new owners have the resolve to match that of its fans? Fans who have done all they can to see off the old owners?
After over 3000 votes had been cast on a poll on this website the message that came across was about as clear as it possibly could be.
We'd rather face the uncertainty of administration than the uncertainty of one more day under Hicks and Gillett.
97.6% of the 3188 votes said the risk of a nine-point deduction was worth it.
We started 2009-10 with fans talking seriously about a title challenge – after all we'd finished second a few months earlier. Despite the events that have happened since we still started this season with expectations of a top-four challenge at the very least.
Unfortunately the start to the season has been embarrassing. Roy Hodgson's men have played so badly, been so unlucky, been so fed up, lacked so much preparation time or whatever else you want to put it down to that they've dropped a total of 15 points already this season.
The club is in the bottom three, with only six points managed so far – meaning nine-points docked would see us in minus figures. But it would take some seriously bad form for this club to be relegated.
It's not being complacent, or arrogant, to say that we feel fairly secure that we would avoid the drop even with that nine point penalty. Roy Hodgson deserves a couple more games at least to turn things round. After that we'll find someone else who can instead.
And if we're so bad that a nine-point deduction would see us go down then perhaps we should sack Roy now. We weren't that bad last season, nowhere near, and we aren't that bad this season.
All we need to do is start winning a few games.
Before we actually get to try and win another game the supporters are forced to contend with games of a different kind, the type that have blighted the club for far too long; the games played in the media.
One of the latest ones is in relation to the likelihood of administration and in turn the chances of that leaving us with a star next to our name in the league table to explain why we've got nine points missing.
One day we're told it's highly unlikely, the next day it's nailed on. Much like the outcome of the court action Martin Broughton has started against Tom Hicks, nothing is really certain at this stage. All the speculation does is fill in some time, and perhaps most annoyingly gets the supporters angry, worried, and filled with more uncertainty.
As always, the supporters are the last to be thought of.
Martin Broughton tells us the 9 point deduction can and probably will happen if he loses his court case. He's confident he won't lose his case, but if he does the risk is real.
Yet his sidekick, Christian Purslow, tells us he's not even given it a passing thought. He's so laid back about it he could be talking about whether he brought his brolly out with him on a bright autumn morning. He's too busy thinking about the sale he says.
Speaking to the BBC, the MD said: "I'm not even contemplating administration and nobody should be."
Wait a minute Christian. Judging by the number of outlets that report sources close to NESV telling them a 9-point deduction would see them back out it's clear that these potential new owners have thought about it. Liverpool fans will take the hit if needed. But the potential new owners would rather make a quiet exit.
This 17-man consortium are telling anyone who'll listen that if the Premier League confirm nine points will be docked they'll be off to find something else to spend their £300m on. Surely you've spoken to them about it; tried to reassure them, or perhaps to clarify why they're making these threats.
Of course not: "I have not discussed that possibility with them. I am completely focused on the sale."
There won't be a sale if nine points are docked – unless the NESV sources are following in the footsteps of their predecessors by being economical with the truth. So focussing on the sale should include a little attention to this claimed sticking point.
Garry Richardson, the presenter of the show "Cecil" appeared on, is usually kind to the MD. But he asked a question that Purslow perhaps would rather he hadn't. He asked him to spell out to fans why he thought administration wouldn't happen.
Purslow wouldn't, or couldn't give that reassurance. Instead he evaded the question: "As I say, we are focused this week on making sure the sale of the club, for a very attractive price, completes, and that is our complete focus."
Focus, focus, focus.
The only on-record quote from the club about NESV's reported threat to walk away is from Christian Purslow, who tells us he's not thought about administration, let alone asked them what they'd do.
Why on earth would NESV consider walking out of this deal over a relatively small points deduction?
What kind of message does it send out to supporters?
It's an astounding threat for them to make. Maybe they're not being honest, maybe it's some difficult to fathom negotiation attempt. A lack of honesty really isn't a good start when fans list "lies" as one of the main reasons they want the current owners gone.
Are we about to be sold to some sharks? Hicks and Gillett sounded wonderful when Rick Parry and David Moores described them to us just before they took over. Words mean nothing, it's actions that count. And they're threatening to make their first action a sharp exit at the first sign of trouble.
They're talking of walking away, before the storm.
Maybe they haven't got the guts for the fight. Because this is a fight.
George Gillett has reportedly defaulted on a loan secured on his half of the club. He has little left to lose. The people he took the loan with, Mill Financial, have. Tom Hicks has around £70m to lose. NESV know – or should know – they've got a fight on their hands.
And if the fight is won off the field there'll be a fight to win on the field – with or without the nine point deduction. It's a fight we can win – but not if we've got owners with such little resolve.
Liverpool fans made it absolutely clear that we would take the loss of nine points on the chin if it came to it. We'd take it on the chin in the hope it would see us with new, responsible owners.
A clean break, a fresh start, an opportunity to climb out of the hole we've been sinking into for the past three years.
If NESV have such weak stomachs maybe they're not the best people to help us get out of that hole. And maybe this board aren't the best people to find someone who is.
Hicks and Gillett's reign began with the words "Trust me" blaring out of the pages of the local press, Rick Parry trying to convince us he'd made the right, if last minute, decision.
NESV came late to the table. Can we trust them? Can we trust the people telling us it'll be a good deal?
At this moment in time – no.

Kevin Farrugia says:
No official NESV statement was made on this issue so its premature to write up an article based on "sources" without knowing why and who originated them!
Hop says:
Hey cool your boots man! I think that the threat to walk away is negotiation. It means that NESV do not want 9 points to be docked, of course they don't. So what NESV are saying is that if Hicks' court challenge is successful and RBS do end up taking over LFC there is no need to put LFC into administration, because NESV would be happy to immediately buy the club from RBS. They are using as much weight as they can to stop any 9 point deduction happening; as it stands there is no need for the club to be put into administration. Any prospective buyers would probably do something similar.
ESPN is a pretty good source of info on this – I think they broke the story about Henry's interest originally and would appear to have a fair idea of what's going on.
Even if LFC *did* go into administration there is still the Asian buyer, whoever they were – and NESV might still be interested, and anyone else who's shown interest before – effectively there might be a new round of bids for the club as someone tries to secure it at a lower price.
I realise Jim that you're probably most concerned with new owners who are no better – out of the frying pan etc. And its good that people like you are around fighting to keep them honest. But for now, I just want the club out of Hicks' hands, however that happens. And if NESV do secure LFC I'll be delighted to give them a chance.
Decky says:
It's simply being put out in the media so that it can be used in court for the judge to see that a national heritage is in that much danger simple as.
AgreeWithHop says:
In addition to what Hop has said I'd like to add that NESV are not fans. They run a business involved in sports. They will not spend a dollar more than they have to and you can not say Liverpool fighting a relegation battle is worth the same amount as a Liverpool playing in Europe. Think about how much you get playing in the Championship in comparison to the Premier League and UEFA cups.
We need rational thinking and not knee jerk reaction
Fans have been asking the Club to do things the Liverpool way and go about their business quietly and with dignity then bitch about the Chairman not giving a running commentary on the takeover situation
They pray for a saviour, "anyone would be better than Tom and Jerry" they say, and find reasons to bitch about NESV
We were hoping for our club to be more competitive commercially but bitch about Christian Purslow who has done in this few years what Ricky Parry failed in over ten years
Get a grip! Chill and not be a negative skeptic who chooses to look at the torn and not the rose.
Maybe Hodgson is not the suitable one to lead us to glory, but I too stood by and hoped it would have been Rafa, but I bellieve he has taken us as far as he could. Maybe one day he can come back and become better from this experience as well.
And Purslow meant that he is confident of the outcome in court and that is why he is not even thinking about administration.
And yes, i believe the pulling out of the deal by nesv is purely a negotiation stance but here, you've got us all to show hand to tom and jerry.
damn they do and damn they do not.
just wait for the good news and stop looking at the cup being half empty
stop creating a sense of hysteria. If it happens then we can all get hysterical together. not now
These "sources" spoke to practically every UK media outlet they could. It's a technique used by members of the board on both sides of the Atlantic and obviously also by NESV. As fans we've got to look beyond the 3 official statements that went on the club website last week and the one from Tom Hicks that didn't go on the club's website.
Hop,
I am fairly sure that the threat to walk away is negotiation, but this late in the day I struggle to see who it's negotiation with and how it helps to do it through the media.
We've had nearly four years of this kind of nonsense and it would be nice to think that a change of regime would see the start of some honesty and the end of spin.
It would be nice to think the club was run by people who, yes, want to make money out of us, but also care enough about the club and its fans to think before they act.
I doubt these owners could be as bad for LFC as the current pair – but let's make sure from the off that they know we're not going to sit back and let them do any more harm to the club than what's been done before they got here.
If they mean they'll walk at a 9-point deduction they might as well walk now. If not then they need to start explaining themselves and to stop getting involved in media games that are going to make little difference to the decisions of a judge, the Premier League or RBS.
Decky,
People are saying we should ignore these claims because they don't have a named source. I don't agree, but I think the chances of a judge taking them into account are probably zero. In fact it could be argued that these claims weaken the case for the English board and NESV if they are going to take the claims seriously.
If anything this is an attempt to get a reassurance from RBS that they'll extend the finance until the legal battles are over.
Bad bluff that RBS will see through – or truth that makes NESV questionable custodians.
"AgreeWithHop",
The idea that NESV are valuing the club based purely on this season suggests they are only thinking of short-term gain and also suggests they are unwilling to provide the investment that is needed in the squad to get the team back on track.
They are taking advantage of the situation H&G, with the help of RBS, have got us into. They made their approach after the end of Martin Broughton's various deadlines (end of July, end of August) and made an offer that was essentially the bare minimum – enough to pay off RBS and without even the promise to fund a new stadium.
If that's their reason, again they're not suitable custodians. Better than the last two? Hard not to be. Good enough? Being better than the last two isn't good enough on its own.
Not sure who the "fans" are you're referring to but something I've said for a long time is that the idea "anything's better than these" is good enough for LFC is a terrible idea.
Breaking my criticisms down a little – Martin Broughton has done a job and played a game a certain way. I'm not sure if he's gone for the "anything is better" approach, if he feels these will just have to do, or if he genuinely feels these owners are good enough. Either way he's not going to say anything more than "these are excellent".
As for Christian Purslow can you explain exactly what he's done? Don't give him credit for the work Ian Ayre's done on the commercial side.
If you had a time machine now, went back to 2007, and you saw Rick Parry's "Trust Me" plea – would you say "Okay then"? If you saw the gushing compliments about how Hicks and Gillett are sports people and understand what it means and so on – would stand there and applaud?
What harm does it do to ask questions or raise concerns about NESV?
If it's enough to scare them off they shouldn't be here.
If they can answer the questions and address the concerns in an appropriate way they'll be happy to do so.
I'd rather they were found out today – if they need to be found out – than found out next week when we can't do anywhere near as much about it.
Just like those who wanted Rafa out will, if they're being honest, admit they didn't quite expect him to be replaced by Roy I think it's best we don't celebrate a change of ownership if it still falls some way short of being what we wanted.
If you want glossy interpretations of what's going on at the club then you're best sticking to the official site, because obviously they're not going to be asking questions on there.
And what I want most from these questions are answers that reassure me and other supporters and leave us feeling more secure about the future.
It's a long time since I did "Let's not think about it, I'm sure it'll all turn out good."
And that should be the case for all of us.
rowan says:
So much posturing going on, who knows exactly what will happen. One thing in our favour is that its in british courts, plus the old yanks have a bad rep for doing this to well known sporting institutions.
This is part of the 'smoke em out' ploy by Henry.
Next up Hodgson…please do the right thing and get rid.
Another take on things here:
Sporting Intelligence – Full Purslow transcript, and why administration makes no sense
And yet another:-
http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/broughton-keeps-plan-b–up-sleeve-to-try-to-ensure-anfield-sale-goes-ahead-2103215.html
If this is true and I have no reason to doubt it is, then we have got ourselves a five star chairman.
I am a naive optimist no doubt but, I have confidence in Broughton's judgement.
Give it a rest mate!! The likes of yourself & Evans are doing far more harm than good to the Club's fanbase now. Sky should be calling you anyday now!! you'll find a home there
Or is it Josh?
Just been looking through your posts Kevin, if it is Kevin, and you seem to be sending out some quite mixed messages.
Trouble is, it makes it nearly impossible to work out what's bothering you.
I don't mind constructive criticism, I don't mind people disagreeing with me and correcting me. We're all fans (I assume) but you seem to spend most of your time commenting in an abusive and far from constructive manner. When you're not doing that you're writing posts that seem to oppose completely what you've already said. Maybe it's sarcasm, but it's never really in context so it's lost.
If you want engage with me properly I've no problem, but less of the accusations and abuse if you don't mind.
And as for Sky calling me, they did, on Friday. They had me live on SSN. I talked to them about the poll we ran on administration, about groundshare, the new owners, the old owners, and so on. I've not got the equipment needed to get it onto YouTube so you'll not be able to tell if I said the right things or not. I hope I did, but like any other fan it's only ever going to be about my interpretion of events or my opinion. Except for the poll, which was nearly 98% in favour of admin over a H&G extension.
If you watch this video without blinking you can see if I said the right things. I said "Go" to Tom Hicks and mentioned the absence of the new stadium and new players that were the whole reason they came in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO55BazkiZ4
Seriously though, there's no need for any of this. If you can't argue your point in a more constructive way maybe it's not a very good point to argue.
And maybe you should try and be consistent. Here's a selection of your comments so far:
"They have my preleminary support provided I don't hear the term groundshare being mentioned"
"Hopefully either Jim or someone from SOS will get Purlsows place on the new board. That's what Liverpool needs right now, real supporters ruining the club, not traitors like Purslow."
"I'd be very cautious about NESV or any other Americans for that matter owning the club."
"This has the potential to be even worse than H&G"
"I'm sure they won't be foolish enough to let someone like Purslow on the board."
"The day will come when we would give our right arm to have Purslow on the Board."
"This has Leverage written all over it – just watch this space."
"This is a potential disaster – I bet you Purslow will be still at the club – the fight goes on – class"
"I've being reading Dion a long time too Jim and I certainly can see why you would jump to his support. Unfortunately like all Irish media including our national disgrace RTE or rather MUTV it seems to be a must to be anti Liverpool to even get near writing in a paper. He did like Rafa though – i wonder why. They all wallow in lFC's demise."
"No new articles despite defeat at Citeh & europa tonight. What's the story?? do we only talk about doom & takeovers"
"Let's all just hope that Kenny is the saviour that you all seem to think he is. Personally I smell something not quite right about him – somewhere in there the plan will be for leverage and it's very important that this cannot happen again."
"Jim Where do you think Christian Purslow is in all this. Surely he has to be behind the Kirdi bid as he is just a pupet for H&G. What do you think? surely he will link up with those 2 tits to shaft us yet again and this is why they sacked Rafa. They knew Rafa would go to the media in Spain about their dirty dealings."
So whatever your name is Kevin/Josh, it wouldn't hurt to try and be on the attack a little less would it?
Actually Jofrad that is the same take on it, or at least it's the same person writing both articles! Nick Harris works freelance (I believe) as well as for his own Sporting Intelligence website.
What sort of deal would be acceptable? It's quite obviously clear that not everyone will be happy with what is on the table. The least happiest are H & G, although G has suddenly gone mute, because they don't stand to make any money from the current terms. In my opinion, if NESV came up with £444m there wouldn't be so much resistance…
As mentioned previously, there has been no official line from NESV suggesting they will do one if we get docked 9 points, so I regard it as pure speculation. I for one won't be up in arms about it or distrust them until I hear something officially. Because until I hear that, I would have to assume that NESV think that ourselves, the written media, the Premier League, Broughton, Ayre and Purslow were all born yesterday and the only reason they want the club is to sell it on for a hefty profit with no real interest in team performance, a profit they won't see if we're in the Championship…oh, and they will heap all of the debt onto the club.
There will be a level of manageable debt, mooted at £1m a year in some quarters, and as far as I am concerned that is all the debt the club will have to manage, although will we have to pay for the stadium as well?
The sales process began in April and NESV, according to reports, approached the Board in August. Late to the table? Yes. But I am encouraged by the time it took them to carry out all procedures, including due dilligence to finally make an offer. This was happening in the background as kenny Huang was trumpeting his grand plan and we were lead to believe that once he rode out of town there were no other serious bidders on the table.
Perhaps the offer from Asia is the return of Huang & Co? This time maybe he knows better than telling everyone who'll listen something that, to all intents and purposes, should be fiercely confidential until confirmed…it's awfully quiet from that side of the fence…anyone know if their bid has been withdrawn?
RBS just apparently released this statement;
http://www.sportingintelligence.com/2010/10/11/breaking-liverpool-ownership-battle-rbs-statement-interim-injunction-v-hg-in-place/
RBS STATEMENT
RBS in its capacity as lender to the Kop group of companies received the benefit of various contractual undertakings from Mr. Hicks and Mr. Gillett in relation to the corporate governance arrangements that Mr. Hicks and Mr. Gillett agreed would apply to the Kop group of companies with effect from April 2010.
Those undertakings provided for the appointment of Mr Broughton as chairman of the board and the appointment of the chief executive and commercial director of LFC to the Kop boards.
As is well known, Mr. Hicks and Mr. Gillett purported to make changes to those corporate governance arrangements on 4 October. This was in breach of those contractual undertakings.
In light of that purported breach of contract RBS sought and obtained on Friday 8 October 2010 an interim injunction against Mr. Hicks and Mr. Gillett until a further hearing scheduled for tomorrow.
Among other things, that interim injunction prevents Mr. Hicks or Mr. Gillett taking any steps to remove or replace Mr. Broughton from his position as chairman of the board of the Kop companies or from taking any other steps to appoint or remove any directors from the board of the Kop companies.
The proceedings tomorrow represent the continuation of Friday's proceedings and relates to breach of contract only. These proceedings do not represent steps by RBS to enforce its security or to appoint an administrator.
We are unable to provide any visibility on timing for resolution of these proceedings at this stage.
STATEMENT ENDS
Mr F says:
Jim the way you talk about Purslow, I think it's because you have a thing for him.
It reminds me of when I was a little kid and i fancied this girl, so do you know what I done?
Yes I called her names!!!!!
Do you sleep with a picture of him next to your bed and draw moustaches on it?

Nelle teorie della grande unificazione della fisica delle particelle, il meccanismo seesaw (o meccanismo dell'altalena) è un modello generico utilizzato per comprendere le dimensioni relative delle masse dei neutrini osservate, dell'ordine degli elettronvolt, rispetto a quelli dei quark e dei leptoni carichi, che sono milioni di volte più pesanti. Il nome del meccanismo ad altalena è stato dato da Tsutomu Yanagida in una conferenza di Tokyo nel 1981.

Esistono diversi tipi di modelli, ognuno dei quali estende il Modello Standard. La versione più semplice, "Tipo 1", estende il Modello Standard assumendo l'esistenza di due o più campi di neutrini destrorsi aggiuntivi insensibili rispetto all'interazione elettrodebole, e l'esistenza di una scala di massa molto grande. Ciò consente di identificare la scala di massa con la scala postulata della grande unificazione.

Seesaw di tipo 1

Questo modello produce, per ogni sapore, un neutrino leggero e un neutrino molto pesante, che deve ancora essere osservato e offre una spiegazione del perché le masse dei neutrini osservate sono così piccole.

Secondo il modello standard minimale (dove i neutrini sono privi di massa), il neutrino fa parte di uno spinore di Weyl  e, insieme al leptone carico sinistrorso (di chiralità sinistra) , costituiscono un doppietto leptonico di isospin debole:

Si postuli inoltre l'esistenza di , uno spinore di Weyl corrispondente al neutrino destrorso, che è un singoletto rispetto all'isospin debole, il che significa che non interagisce debolmente, come un neutrino sterile.

A questo punto ci sono tre modi per formare termini di massa covarianti di Lorentz e sono i seguenti:

e i loro complessi coniugati. Questi termini possono essere combinati assieme scrivendoli come una forma quadratica:

Poiché lo spinore del neutrino destrorso non ha nessuna delle cariche associate alle simmetrie di gauge del modello standard,  è un parametro libero che in linea di principio può assumere qualsiasi valore arbitrario.

Il parametro  è proibito dalla simmetria di gauge elettrodebole, e può comparire solo dopo che la simmetria è stata rotta spontaneamente da un meccanismo di Higgs, come le masse di Dirac dei leptoni carichi. In particolare, poiché  ha isospin debole  come il campo di Higgs H, e  ha isospin debole 0, il parametro di massa  può essere generato dalle interazioni di Yukawa con il campo di Higgs, nel modo convenzionale del modello standard,

Ciò significa che  è naturalmente dell'ordine del valore di aspettazione del vuoto del campo di Higgs del modello standard:  e  per cui

se l'accoppiamento di Yukawa è di ordine . Può essere scelto più piccolo in modo coerente, ma valori estremi  possono rendere il modello non perturbativo.

D'altra parte, il parametro  è vietato, dal momento che nessun singoletto rinormalizzabile sotto ipercarica debole e isospin può essere formato utilizzando queste componenti di un doppietto – solo un termine non rinormalizzabile di dimensione 5 è consentito. Questa è l'origine del modello e della gerarchia delle scale della matrice di massa all'interno del "meccanismo seesaw di tipo 1".

La matrice

ha due autovalori:

e

Applicando questo modello ai neutrini,  è considerato molto più grande di . Allora l'autovalore maggiore, , è approssimativamente uguale a , mentre l'autovalore minore è approssimativamente uguale a

La grande dimensione di  può essere motivata nel contesto della grande unificazione. In tali modelli possono essere presenti simmetrie di gauge allargate, che inizialmente forzano  nella fase non rotta, ma generano un grande valore non nullo , intorno alla scala della loro rottura spontanea di simmetria. Quindi data una massa  si ha . Una scala enorme ha quindi indotto una massa di neutrini drammaticamente piccola per l'autovettore

La massa molto piccola è in accordo con i dati sperimentali.

Il nome "altalena" nasce dal fatto che gli autovalori sono l'uno inversamente proporzionale all'altro, pertanto se uno dei due autovalori sale, l'altro scende e viceversa.

The new Sigma fp is the smallest full-frame camera
Details on Sigma's new camera and lenses.
The Sigma fp is the world's smallest full-frame camera and features some powerful video components.Sigma
This week during an event in Japan Sigma announced a ton of new products, including the Sigma fp, which is the world's smallest full-frame camera. The surprising new body features some big innovations, especially when it comes it its video capabilities. It employs Leica's L lens mount in front of a 24.6MP BSI-CMSO Bayer sensor as opposed to the Foveon sensors we might expect from a Sigma camera. The camera is the most compact full-frame on the market at 4.4 x 2.7 x 1.77 inches and weighs 0.81 pounds without a battery or card. In many ways it seems designed to compete with cinema cameras like the Black Magic. Here is what else we know about it:
Contrast-detect AF system
ISO range of 1000-25600, expandable to 6-1024000
Fixed 3.2", 2.1M-dot touchscreen
Electronic shutter
Eye AF and HDR
Burst rate of 18fps
Capable of 12-bit UHD 4K/24p video
Features a waveform monitor, shutter angle control, and timecode
Teal and Orange color mode for cinematic shooting
Director mode lets shooters preview video in alternative aspect ratios
Weather sealed body
Included heat-sink to keep the camera cool while shooting
Available this fall
This compact prime for L-mount and E-mount cameras has eight elements in seven groups.Sigma
The compact camera is designed for scalability, and Sigma says that they will be offering a number of accessories as add ons for the camera: grips, a flash bracket, and an eyepiece. On its own, the fp is little more than a box with a big screen that takes up most of the back.
Although the Sigma fp was certainly the most surprising news from Japan, there are plenty of other new lenses on the way too. Here is what we know about:
Three DC DN F1.4 lenses will be available this fall for Canon EF-M mount cameras in 16mm, 30mm, and 56mm focal lengths.
This lens will have 18 elements in 13 groups and an 11 blade circular aperture.Sigma
A 45mm F2.8 DG DN lens for L-mount and E-mount cameras is also coming soon. The compact prime is 1.8" long and weighs 7.6oz. It has eight elements in seven groups, a seven-blade rounded aperture and is weather sealed.
A 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN Art lens is coming in August for full-frame Panasonic, Leica L-mount and Sony E-mount shooters. The lens will have 18 elements in 13 groups, including 1 FLD, 5 SLD, and 3 aspherical elements and includes Nanon Porous and Super Multi-layer coatings. It has an 11 blade rounded aperture and features a rear filter holder. The lens is splashproof, dustproof, and weighs 28oz. Sigma expects it to cost $1499 once it is available.
The newest 35mm Art lens will be available for Sony shooters by the end of the month for $1499Sigma
Sigma's new 35mm Art lens will be available for Sony shooters by the end of the month for $1499. The 35mm F1.2 DG DN Art has 17 elements in 12 groups, including 3 SLD and 3 aspherical elements. The lens is quite bulky compared to the F1.4 Art. The new lens will weigh 2.4lbs and is 5.4" long. The lens features a customizable AFL button, is weather sealed, and has a front coated element to keep it free from smudges and water.

Ру́банівське (раніше Григорівка) — село у Васильківському районі Дніпропетровської області. Населення становить 233 особи. Орган місцевого самоврядування — Письменська селищна рада.

Географія
Село Рубанівське розташоване на південному заході Васильківського району на березі річки Соломчина. На півдні межує з селом Граничне Новомиколаївського району Запорізької області, на сході з селом Тихе, на півночі з смт Новоіванівка та на заході з селом Вербівське.

Історія

Село було засновано наприкінці 18-го сторіччя козаком Прокопом Рубаном, після розгону Запорозької Січі. Могила засновника збереглася на цвинтарі Свято-Покровської церкви, що розташовано в селі.

3 січня 2019 громада Свято-Покровського храму УПЦ МП підтримала перехід під юрисдикцію об'єднаної Помісної Української Православної Церкви.

Визначні пам'ятки

Одним з найвизначніших пам'яток не лише села Рубанівське, а й всього району є Свято-Покровська церква.

Церква була заснована у другій половині 19-го сторіччя дворянкою Катериною Павлівною Василенко. Також вона заснувала й Свято-Знаменський жіночий монастир в селі Вербівське Васильківського району. В 60-і роки XX століття храм було закрито і частково зруйновано. У 1991 році на прохання жителів села і по благословенню єпископа Дніпропетровського і Запорізького Гліба храм був відкритий і зареєстрована церковна община.

В селі розташовано єдиний у світі музей відомого поета, етнолога, фольклориста Івана Івановича Манжури.

Персоналії
 Кузнєцов Ігор Русланович (1991-2022) — молодший сержант Збройних сил України, учасник російсько-української війни, що загинув під час російського вторгнення в Україну в 2022 році.

Apple Watch's secret weapon is its new prize
September 12, 2019 Technology 2 Views
The most compelling update is not a feature but the price: You can now buy an Apple Watch for $ 199. It's a significant saving over the cost of previous models, as well as the recently announced series Smartwatch starting at $ 399, or $ 499 with mobile connectivity.
Apple ( AAPL ) pulled down the price of its Apple Series 3 watch, a two-year device, in an attempt to attract new users – a tactic the company has long used used with their iPhones. Last year, the 3-ounce series cost $ 279.
Smartwatches typically start in the $ 300 range or higher, with the exception of Fitbit ($ 169), the second most popular portable brand behind Apple.
"Apple loosely bases its pricing on the cost of producing a device, but it's more about the price a consumer is willing to pay," Canalys analyst Ben Stanton told CNN Business. "A cheap price point for Apple Watch is important because much of the device's growth right now comes from consumers who have never owned Apple Watch before. It tries, and seems to succeed, to appeal to different demographics with different devices and price points." [1
9659006] The biggest thing Apple didn't announce at its iPhone event " data-src-mini="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/190909085933-apple-not-unveling-5g-phone-small-169.jpg" data-src-xsmall="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/190909085933-apple-not-unveling-5g-phone-medium-plus-169.jpg" data-src-small="http://cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/190909085933-apple-not-unveling-5g-phone-large-169.jpg" data-src-medium="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/190909085933-apple-not-unveling-5g-phone-exlarge-169.jpg" data-src-large="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/190909085933-apple-not-unveling-5g-phone-super-169.jpg" data-src-full16x9="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/190909085933-apple-not-unveling-5g-phone-full-169.jpg" data-src-mini1x1="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/190909085933-apple-not-unveling-5g-phone-small-11.jpg" data-demand-load="not-loaded" data-eq-pts="mini: 0, xsmall: 221, small: 308, medium: 461, large: 781″ src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhEAAJAJEAAAAAAP///////wAAACH5BAEAAAIALAAAAAAQAAkAAAIKlI+py+0Po5yUFQA7″/>
[19659004] While not new, the Series 3 watch offers a handful of appealing features such as and fitness features, notifications and, yes, control time. The company quietly killed its Series 4 model on Tuesday to further differentiate between the lower end and Series 5, providing a faster processor and an always on display that still promises 18 hours of battery life.
"The lower price of Apple Watch 3 is a gateway to get people engaged," said Ramon Llamas, a research director at market data company IDC. "Relatively speaking, you pay 50% less than a new model – a cost that is much easier to swallow."
The Apple Watch originally appealed to luxury consumers, but the $ 200 price tag makes it more accessible to a larger audience. Now about the same cost as a pair of AirPods, it's about as close to a stocking filler as Apple gets.
Apple Watch came from humble beginnings, but it has made great progress since its launch in 2015: It now offers mobile connectivity, which means it doesn't have to be tied to an iPhone to be fully functional and has a strong foothold in the wearables market.
The category is still behind the iPhone in terms of sales, but ahead of the iPad. According to IDC data, Apple shipped a total of 23.3 million units last year – a number expected to total 25.9 million this year.
"It's strange to think that there are brand new users out there waiting Given that it's been more than four years since it first launched, Stanton said. "Apple Watch was a very slow starter compared to its recent sales, but this can be a unique feature of portable technology. The more people who wear it, the more potential customers will see it. "
For several years, Apple has relied on partners in the research and medical field, from the University of Michigan to the World Health Organization, to drive its presence At the iPhone event earlier this week, the company showed a video of customer testimonials about the health-related effects of carrying the device, from marking early signs of a heart attack to helping a pregnant mother know she needed an emergency C-section. "Hearing these stories just makes my heart sing," Tim Cook said at the time.
The company recently announced a new app called Studies released later this year that will allow more Apple Watch users to participate in health research.
"Apple's strategy for the clock is developing in an interesting way," Stanton said. "It used to be about fitness with running, cycling or swimming, but now it's cker it to wellness. It started this effort with features like guided breathing, but now the latest tools, such as sound level tracking and menstrual cycle tracking, have really taken this focus on wellness to a new level. "
Still missing on the latest Apple Watch, however, is a built-in sleep tracking feature – one of the more sought-after user tools.
" The & # 39; We have prioritized day functions that require enough power [to get you through the day] says Frank Gillett, a VP at the research company Forrester. "You can get third-party apps that monitor sleep, but when will you charge [the device]?"
Maybe those upgrading to Series 5 will use their older Apple Watch and a third-party app for sleep monitoring while new ones are charging.
