Increase in fuel, food prices weakens inflation recovery pace
Although the consumer price index, (CPI), which measures inflation decreased by 11.26 per cent (year-on-year) in October, 0.02 per cent points lower than the rate recorded in September (11.28 per cent), rise in fuel prices—diesel and kerosene as well as food items continued to weaken the pace of recovery.
Indeed, increases were recorded in all COICOP divisions that yielded the Headline index, based on the latest data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) yesterday.
On month-on-month basis, the Headline index increased by 0.74 per cent in October, down by 0.09 per cent points from the rate recorded in September (0.83) per cent.
Also, the composite food index rose by 13.28 percent in October compared to 13.31 per cent in September. This rise in the food index was caused by increases in prices of fruits, meat, vegetables, potatoes, yam and other tubers, bread and cereals, and oils and fats.
The core sub-index increased by 0.80 per cent in October compared with 0.64 per cent recorded in September, on month-on-month basis.
The highest increases were recorded in prices of fuel and lubricants, vehicle spare parts, domestic and household services, carpets and other floor coverings, dental services, hospital services, repair of household appliances, and medical services.The average 12-month annual rate of change of the index was 10.90 per cent for the period ending October, from 11.09 per cent recorded in September.
On month-on-month basis, the food sub-index increased by 0.82 per cent in October, from 1.00 per cent recorded in September.The percentage change in the average composite CPI for the 12 months ending October 2018 over the average of the CPI for the previous 12 months period was 12.78 per cent, from 13.16 per cent recorded in September.
The urban inflation rate increased by 11.64 per cent (year-on-year) in October from 11.70 per cent recorded a month earlier, while the rural inflation rate increased by 10.93 per cent in October from 10.92 per cent in September.On a month-on-month basis, the urban index rose by 0.76 per cent in October 2018, from 0.86 per cent recorded in September, while the rural index also rose by 0.72 per cent in October, down from the rate recorded in September (0.82) per cent.
The average annual rate of change of the Food sub-index for the 12-month period ending October, over the previous 12-month average was 15.36 per cent, from the average annual rate of change recorded in September (15.92) per cent.
For Research Analyst at Cyprus-based FXTM, Lukman Otunuga, there was a sense of relief felt across the Nigerian economy, following reports of the nation's inflation cooling to 11.26 per cent in October, after rising for two straight months."Although the CPI report is somewhat encouraging, markets need to see further signs of inflationary pressures easing."There will be a strong focus on November and December figures, which most likely will shape monetary policy expectations for the first quarter of 2019.
"Away from inflation figures, the steep decline in oil prices could be a threat to Nigeria's economic recovery. If oil prices remain depressed and government revenues end up taking a hit, the impacts are likely to be reflected on the currency and inflation," he said.
The ''All items less farm produce'' or Core inflation, which excludes the prices of volatile agricultural produce stood at 9.9 per cent in October, up by 0.1 per cent from the rate recorded in September 2018 (9.8) per cent.

As a global biodiversity hotspot, the subtropical evergreen broadleaved forest (SEBF) in southern China is strongly influenced by the humid monsoon climate, with distinct hot-wet and cool-dry season. However, hydraulic strategies of this forest are not well understood. Branch and leaf hydraulic safety margins (HSMbranch and HSMleaf, respectively), as well as seasonal changes in predawn and midday leaf water potential (Ψpd and Ψmd), stomatal conductance (Gs), leaf to sapwood area ratio (AL/AS), and turgor loss point (Ψtlp) were examined for woody species in a mature SEBF. For comparison, we compiled these traits of tropical dry forests (TDF) and Mediterranean-type woodlands (MW) from the literatures because they experience hot-dry season. We found that on average SEBF showed larger HSMbranch and HSMleaf than TDF and MW. During the dry season, TDF and MW species displayed a significant decrease in Ψpd and Ψmd. However, SEBF species showed a slight decrease in Ψpd but an increase in Ψmd. Similar to TDF and MW species, Gs was substantially lower in the dry season for SEBF species, but this might be primarily because of the low atmospheric temperature (low vapor pressure deficit). On the other hand, AL/AS and Ψtlp were not significant different between seasons for any SEBF species. Most SEBF species had leaves that were more resistant to cavitation than branches. Additionally, species with stronger leaf-to-branch vulnerability segmentation tended to have smaller HSMleaf but larger HSMbranch. Our results suggest that subtropical evergreen broadleaved forest is at low hydraulic risk under the current climate.

Foresights and futures studies depend on the adequacy of our knowledge of the present and the past.
Big data evidence suggests that the English language area was not capitalist between 1800 and 2000.
Popular social macro trend statements ought to be regularly scrutinised so as to reduce the risk that inadequate trend assumptions are projected into the future.
Abstract: As foresights and futures studies depend on the pertinence of our knowledge of the present and the past, this article tests whether the English language area may be adequately described as secularised and capitalist between 1800 and 2000. We are using the Google Ngram Viewer to chart and interpret time series plots of combined frequencies of pertinent keywords in the largest Internet book corpus, the Google Books corpus. The results suggest that the English language area is a secularised, politicised, scientificised, and ultimately also mediatised language area which has never been dominated by the economy. We conclude that the sample period may not be characterised as capitalist if we associate capitalism with any form of over-average importance or even dominance of the economy and suggest that popular social macro trend statements be regularly turned from implicit assumptions into explicit research questions so as to reduce the risk that inadequate trend assumptions are projected into the future.

If you wannabe my Mayor
By James Rentoul, Research Team Leader
In May this year Londoners will vote for only the fifth time to directly elect the Mayor of the capital city. It is an election that will be the first to not feature Ken Livingstone. Boris Johnson – Britain's most popular politician – will also be stepping aside (to spend more time in Uxbridge). With two new candidates in the race, Londoners have a chance to get to know some fresh faces. While the most recent polls give Labour's Sadiq Khan the early lead, the race is really only just getting started.
The turn of the year has seen campaign activity ramp up, and with it the negative attacks. Sadiq Khan, the Labour candidate, has been labelled "divisive and radical" by the Conservative campaign. Meanwhile, Zac Goldsmith, the Conservative candidate, has come under fire in recent days from Labour, particularly on his business credentials, with Sadiq Khan saying that his rival "doesn't get how to work with business". However, the view of the Capital's business community itself does not necessarily align with Labour's message.
ComRes research for the LCCI among London business decision-makers clearly shows that the business community appears to favour Zac Goldsmith and the Conservatives for London. Two thirds (68%) of London businesses think that Zac Goldsmith is pro-business, more than double the proportion (29%) who say the same of Sadiq Khan.
However, while the London mayoral race has historically been dominated by big personalities, it is not won solely by individuals. Particularly interesting therefore is how each candidate's position relates to that of their Party.
For the Conservatives, party and candidate are closely in line. Three quarters (76%) of London business leaders say that the Conservatives under David Cameron are pro-business, roughly in line with those who say this of the Party's candidate for the top job in London. This suggests that Mr. Goldsmith is aligned with the perceived pro-business stance of his party.
Things are very different for the Labour Party however. While Sadiq Khan's pro-business score of 29% is far below that of his rival, it is twice the 14% who think that the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn is pro-business. Mr. Khan appears to be seen differently to his leader, whose party still suffers from a lack of economic credibility not just among businesses, but with the public as well. One of Mr. Khan's biggest struggles may be how he manages to differentiate himself from the man he nominated for Labour leader.
Of course business leaders only get one vote each, just like any other Londoner. London showed at the 2015 General Election that it is not afraid to buck the trend. While the rest of the country turned ever more blue, London experienced a swingtowards Labour last May. Recent polls also have Mr. Khan in the lead.
The views of business leaders in isolation will not therefore decide the winner. Other issues and factors play on the minds of voters. However, at this early stage when voters are still getting to know these new candidates, the views of business can help to shape and influence the broader debates and arguments that Londoners are hearing.
Business confidence is not enough to win an election. However, it will certainly provide a fillip to a candidate that starts the election year behind his rival, and a lack of business support will not aid Mr. Khan's differentiation strategy. In the absence of the big beasts of London elections gone by, it may take the capital city some more time to warm up to their new wannabe mayors.

Eliza Sam (岑麗香) has been appearing on my screen a lot lately – she's in so many TVB dramas since all the big names are either getting married or leaving for Chinese dramas. But I've noticed that she's gotten a lot prettier than before, and obviously when you wonder about an actress' beauty, nearly everyone will question whether its natural or not. I also noticed that her eyelids were a little bit weird in her recent dramas.
So me, being hella basic and in super detective mode searched up her before/after pictures.
For my personal opinion, I think she did get plastic surgery. Obviously I don't know for sure, maybe it's tape or something but her eyelids are definitely different. I have nothing against plastic surgery because if I could guarantee to look as pretty as she is, I would totes get it.
Before you say, "But you can! That's how plastic surgery works" – I've seen too many botched surgeries for me to get it.
You know what I mean?? There is no doubt that she got double eyelids.
So PRETTY! Definitely 'princess'-level as the media has dubbed her.
So her eyelids are very obviously single in the beginning.
Still hella good looking though.
You see how thick her eyelids are there compared to before?
A lot of netizens are saying that she got her 'inner corners' cut and double eyelid surgery. Cutting the inner corners open up your eyes (like by a lot). It's extra apparent in here.
You see her left eye with the extra fat above it with the weird line?
Her eyelids aren't so single here anymore and she's still got some baby fat. You can tell though that her eye shape is still different from her current eyeshape.
She's so gorgeous and seeing what a huge different it had made makes me so tempted to go get something done on my face (even though I would still not be as gorgeous). I love her with the short brown hair.
There's two sides – there are netizens out there that feel like that Eliza is all natural and that she didn't get anything done and get mad when people accuse her of plastic surgery. They say that it's losing baby fat – but I don't think baby fat makes you have double eyelids.
I honestly think those people are hella stupid when they get mad when their idol gets accused of plastic surgery because for some reason they correlate plastic surgery with fakeness and negativity but I personally think that hey, if it makes you better, go for it! It's like dying your hair, exercising, and putting on make-up – if this permanent change makes you feel happier and better about yourself then you should definitely do it.
Thoughts about her change? She's come a long way since 2010.


They say the early bird catches the worm, or as they say today, 'rise and grind' or 'team early'. Don't you want to be apart of that hype? Well then. Don't hit snooze. Hit Play! and bump this "Morning Coffee" mix brewed up for you by DJ $IR TIPP. It's a mix of some upbeat jams, kind of synthy poppy, kind of funky, dance, R&B, electronic, two steppin kind of music to help jumpstart your day. Acts like a musical cup o joe, so to speak.

Lucky Lady Nearly Trashes $100,000 Winning Scratch-off
Allegany County woman wins top prize on Crossword Deluxe game
A forgotten Maryland Lottery scratch-off delivered a $100,000 win to a Frostburg woman, who is in shock over the size of the prize and the fact that the instant ticket almost went in the trash.
Her near-miss saga began when the 47-year-old bought a $10 Crossword Deluxe scratch-off from the Beer, Wine & Spirits Warehouse in town. She's partial to crossword scratch-offs, the woman said, because "they're just more fun than some of the others."
The Allegany County resident left the instant ticket in her car and forgot about it for about three weeks. While cleaning out the vehicle one day, she happened to spot it just before the paper scratch-off joined other items in the trash. The lucky woman took the ticket inside, where she scratched it off and then used the Maryland Lottery app on her phone to scan it. She had to find her eyeglasses so that she could see all of the zeroes in the $100,000 win, she said. "There was no one else in the house so when I saw it, I just sat down and kept quiet."
The happy player has only shared her good news with her husband. She's worked in the auto detailing business for about 20 years and may use her $100,000 prize to start a business of her own.
The Lottery retailer shares in the fun of the win, too. The Beer, Wine & Spirits Warehouse located at 36 South Broadway in Frostburg will receive a $1,000 bonus from the Lottery for selling a top-prize scratch-off in the game. In other good news, there is still one more unclaimed $100,000 top prize remaining in the game along with six $10,000 prizes and thousands of smaller prizes ranging from $10 to $1,000.

Recommendations on how to select the right VoIP solution for your business.
Have you been thinking about making the move from multi-line analog or PRI trunk phone service to VoIP, but unsure about how well it will work? Here are some ideas and recommendations about what you can achieve and how to proceed successfully.
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is also called "network voice" to distinguish it from traditional wireline phone service. The key word is "network." VoIP is designed to run on computer networks rather than the proprietary telephone technologies we've been using for the last century. In fact, on the network, voice is just another service running along with data, video and streaming audio. Every service generates packets that are transported from source to destination using routers and switches on the network.
This presents a huge cost savings opportunity for larger businesses. Having one network to carry all traffic saves over having to maintain separate telephone and data networks. It's less of an issue for smaller companies, although there are also cost savings in having one service provider connection instead of different telephone and broadband lines.
Where VoIP has gotten a dicey reputation is from using the Internet as both a telephone line and a broadband data service. The Internet wasn't designed for high quality two-way voice conversations, so it's a hit and miss proposition as to how good the voice quality of your conversations will be. Some calls may sound as good or better than the best analog line. Others will sound distorted and slightly delayed so that you and the other party cut off each other's conversations. Residential users may not find this variable performance all that annoying, so they're happy with the savings they get from dumping their analog landlines in favor of using their broadband Internet connection for both phone and computer service.
Business users who want clear conversations with their customers at all times have some better performing options available. Medium and larger companies will opt for a private line or MPLS network connection to their phone system provider. This is also called a SIP Trunk after the Session Initiation Protocol standard used for VoIP switching. A SIP trunk can support multiple simultaneous phone conversations, similar to an ISDN PRI trunk that is used with in-house PBX telephone systems.
Note that the type of VoIP service we're talking about here is remotely hosted telephone switching at a service provider's location. This is also known as Hosted VoIP, Hosted PBX, or communications in the cloud.
Small companies can also benefit from Hosted PBX service even if they have only a few to a few dozen telephones. In this case, the SIP Trunking provider supplies your business with an Integrated Access Device (IAD) that uses the SIP trunk to deliver both telephone and broadband Internet service. Unlike residential broadband phone service, the SIP trunk keeps the voice and data packets from interfering with each other. That maintains your voice quality on telephone calls. The phones have priority. Any bandwidth they are not using is automatically assigned as broadband Internet bandwidth. With some providers, you may also elect to plug existing analog phones into the IAD. This is called an analog handoff.
Another service that can provide both Internet and telephone service is Cable business broadband and telephone bundled service. You have one line coming into your office in the form of a coaxial cable. This cable carries telephone, broadband Internet and even television. Quality of service is maintained by keeping the telephone, television and Internet services in their own channels on the cable. Your phone service is VoIP technology, but your phone calls never touch the Internet. They just ride their own channel of the cable to a switching system that connects to the public telephone system. Note that to make this work, you need to get both your business broadband and phone service from the same Cable provider.


The stock market has been setting news highs all year, Bitcoin has returned just over 1,700% year-to-date, and every day on TV you hear how someone is making huge money but wonder if it's too late and where you could invest now and still feel confident that you're making a sound fiscal decision. Well, another of buzz words this year has been ETFs and we'd like to show you some strategies that may let you get into the market, minimize your risk, and feel like you're not missing the party.
Ok, let's start at the very beginning. ETF is an acronym for Exchange Traded Fund, which is actually very similar to a mutual fund. An ETF, or exchange-traded fund, is a marketable security that tracks an index, a commodity, bonds, or a basket of assets like an index fund. Unlike mutual funds, an ETF trades like a common stock on a stock exchange. This allows you to get incredibly granular with your investment. For example, you could select the home builder ETF (NAIL) that only invest in home builder stocks like Home Depot. ETFs experience price changes throughout the day as they are bought and sold. ETFs typically have higher daily liquidity and lower fees than mutual fund shares, making them an attractive alternative for individual investors.
Regardless of liquidity there is not much that can save you from a bad bid (buy price), and being that the market has been setting new highs and is well above 24,000 the chances of you picking up 10% (Dow 26,800) on your money in a straight S & P or Dow Jones mutual fund before it pulls back 10% due to year end selling or profit taking at the beginning of 2018 are dramatically against you so it would be prudent to dollar cost average into whatever you invest in at these level. DCA simply means buying a fixed amount on a monthly or quarterly basis so in the event there is a correction you can actually purchase the same security at a lower pArCarice and hopefully the price will return to previous levels actually making the previous fluctuation your new best friend. That's a beautiful picture we just painted but once again perhaps the use of ETFs could reduce your market risk. By choosing a specific sector may protect your position against a broader market correction. For example, a gold ETF should actually provide a positive return during a Dow or S & P correction.
Of course the flip side is if the market continues to rise then you will continue to miss out on returns that beat what you can make in your savings or CD account. If that's the case the previous strategy is a way you can ride the current market conditions while decreasing your risk of a lump sum investment. An ETF will give you instant liquidity so if you were to wake up one morning and the market is down substantially, you would liquidate at a specific price rather than having to wait to the close of the market like you would with a mutual fund. These and other advantages is why there has been such an inflow of funds to various ETFs.
That and the fact that they are not actively managed like a Mutual Fund which can time the market by selling and purchasing stocks based on their own evaluations. Now, keep in mind that some mutual funds outperform the overall market as well as their ETF compeers with similar risk for this reason but the majority do not and for the added annual expenses and lack of transparency, many have decided to move in the ETF direction and it looks like that trend will continue.

Gender inequalities from movies to arts
Novembre 24, 2020| News| enwe
by Giovanna Pezzuoli
From music to publishing, from drama to the art market, from architecture to cinema and television, up to the future artificial intelligence scenario, the international picture of gender disparities is daunting. Prejudices penalizing female participation are shared by all cultural and creative sectors, as explained by economist Flavia Barca, who has been involved in media and cultural policies research and planning for 25 years. The data from the EENCA (European Expert Network on Culture and Audiovisual) report speak for themselves: to begin with, only 20% of registered composers are women, and classical music female composers' works represent just over 2% of the total number of concerts. These numbers reflect in the glass ceilings that women are unable to break to reach the top of the industry, as in the glass walls that hinder female mobility, effectively segregating women into specific roles.
The "inverted pyramid" mechanism also characterizes the drama and dance sector. According to the report presented in 2018 in France by the "Haut Conseil à l'Egalité," in industry academies the representation is equal (52% of women) but, in the labor market, the share of women decreases (31%), and becomes completely marginal when it comes to programmed works (11%). As for women artists, in the list of the 500 top artists, women do not go beyond 14%, even if the percentage rises (31%) when we consider the generation born after 1980. And a large study carried out on over 60 thousand people in 45 countries has shown that female painters' works have a 50% lower market value than those created by their male counterparts.
The publishing sector registers an important female presence, despite the persistence of the two usual critical issues: economic and top management imbalances. There are also widespread thematic prejudices ("allocative discrimination"), that is a sectorization of literary genres with women dominating historical, and romance literature, but also horror and mystery, while men are more devoted to science fiction, politics and crime. The Architects' Council of Europe (Ace) counts a female presence of around 38% in the sector, having increased by just one percentage point in 10 years. Furthermore, as it happens in other fields, after the age of 46 the difficulty of remaining in the labor market drives away a substantial share of women. And the inclination of male architects to network among themselves is not to be underestimated, while the lack of mentoring and female role models discourages young women.
In terms of stereotypes, Flavia Barca notes, particularly significant are those conveyed by the movie industry and television, where a not very reassuring picture emerges. Let's look at the US movie industry: according to research by the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, out of 800 films monitored, only 31% of speaking characters are women, only 4% of movies are directed by female directors, and out of the 100 top films in 2015 just 32% portrayed female characters in leadership roles. Aging also costs women dearly: in career terms, only 5 out of 100 films had over-45-year-old female protagonists. And the situation in television is only slightly better with 28% of "above-the-line" women professionals (director, screenwriter, producer, etc.), but with female directors representing no more than 17%. In this uncomfortable scenario, it should be emphasized that gender inequalities decrease when a woman is covering key roles.
And in Europe? The study "Where are the women directors?" confirms the low presence of women in top positions and the scarce funding allocated to them: in 85% of cases, the money goes to films directed by men. The critical moment generating the gap is the transition from education (where 44% of directors who graduate are women) to industry work, where the percentage drops to 24%. As for Italy, the EWA research shows how more women obtain their diploma than men (41.5% versus 39%) and then run aground along the most demanding professional paths, such as directing, where they represent just 17%. The data on films by women financed by the public radio and television service (11%) and their distribution are also discouraging: women-directed movies arriving at the box office represent just 3% of the total. This, despite the incentives provided by the implementing decrees of the Franceschini law to producers who accept "above-the- line" women professionals. Similarly, the monitoring of 2019 television programming by Cares-Osservatorio di Pavia shows an imbalance in favor of men, who constitute 63.7% of the 18,688 registered presences, while women appear marginalized (they are 18% among politicians, 22% among spokespersons, 24% among experts and 33% among celebrities). The only country to present encouraging data on gender equality in the audiovisual sector is Sweden, thanks to policies that in 5 years have led to a rapid increase of films directed by women, from 19 to 50%.

The Three Musketeers at The Shakespeare Theatre of NJ is a sheer delight
There have been many times I've had fun at the theatre, but rarely have I experienced an evening of sheer delight like I had seeing Ken Ludwig's The Three Musketeers. Mr. Ludwig has turned his prodigious talents at adaptation to Alexandre Dumas' 1844 novel of daring and intrigue, and the results are more than satisfying. I am thankful that the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey in Madison has seen fit to open its new season with it. It is hilarious, it is romantic, it has swashbuckling adventure galore. It is unreal and wonderful and captivating. Why beat around the bush? Just go, already!

The familiar story follows the adventures of young D'Artagnan (Cooper Jennings) as he makes his way to Paris to join the King's Musketeers. He is also charged with delivering his sister Sabine (Courtney McGowan), no slouch with a sword herself, to a convent school in the city. Once in the city, the young man runs afoul of the one-eyed Rochefort (Jeffrey M. Bender), captain of the Cardinal's Guards, and his henchman Ravanche (Patrick Toon). By accident D'Artagnan also schedules three consecutive duels with Athos (John Keabler), Porthos (Paul Molnar), and Aramis (Alexander Sovronsky), the three Musketeers of the title. In coming to the aid of Constance (Billie Wyatt), servant of Queen Anne (Fiona Robberson), D'Artagnan arouses the suspicions of Cardinal Richelieu (Bruce Cromer) and his henchwoman Milady (Anastasia Le Gendre). An intrigue involving Queen Anne, the Duke of Buckingham (Clark Scott Carmichael), King Louis XIII (Michael Stewart Allen), and a diamond necklace set off a massive race against time to preserve the Queen's honor and foil the Cardinal's desire for more political power.

Director Rick Sordelet keeps the action moving along at a brisk pace while not rushing any of the humor or drama in the story. In this he is given outstanding support by his son, fight director Christopher Kelly-Sordelet, handling both personal duels and large group melees with panache. The world of Dumas' Musketeers is brought to life by the Shakespeare Theatre's fine production staff: scenic designer Brian Prather, lighting designer Matthew E. Adelson, and costume designer Brian Russman. Actor Alexander Sovronsky, who plays Aramis, successfully takes on the tasks of sound designer and composer of the show's original music.

The 20-member cast—a large one for the Shakespeare Theatre, with many performing multiple roles—is one of the best ever assembled for a production here. The acting was at the usual standards of the Shakespeare Theatre, from the leads down to the ensemble. Particular notice goes to Courtney McGowan as Sabine, a new character created by Ken Ludwig for this adaptation. At the first preview, the actress already cast in the part suffered a fractured ankle and had to leave. Ms. McGowan stepped into the role and with only three days of rehearsal and previews gave a magnificent opening night performance as D'Artagnan's feisty sister.

There have been rare times when I have said that a production is so good you should hock your grandmother to buy tickets. The Three Musketeers is such a delight that you should hock both your grandmothers to see it. The only bad thing about this production is that it will only be playing until July 7, 2019 due to the Shakespeare Theatre's production schedule. At the risk of repeating myself, I'll say it again: Go, NOW, to see Ken Ludwig's excellent stage adaptation of The Three Musketeers before it has to close!
The Three Musketeers is presented by the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey at the F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre on the campus of Drew University in Madison through July 7, 2019. For tickets and information, visit shakespearenj.org.

For iPhone / iPad users learning Chinese, it is possible to enter characters simply by writing them on the screen. You don't even have to write them exactly right, even if you get the stroke order wrong or it doesn't look pretty, the software can usually recognise what you write – and if you use this method to enter characters into a dictionary app like Pleco or a dictionary website like nciku, then it makes looking up characters much much easier than using a regular dictionary.
Some apps have their own handwriting recognition functions, but to get you started you can try the built in system you already have first.
If you are learning simplified Chinese, then click on Chinese (Simplified), or if you want to enter traditional Chinese characters, then click on Chinese (Traditional). You will then see a list of the input methods, for the Chinese handwriting recognition, click Handwriting. You can also switch on the Pinyin input method by clicking on Pinyin – QWERTY. The Chinese input method should now be switched on.
Now you can go to any dictionary app or any app where you want to enter text. Click on the globe icon on the keyboard and slide up to where it says 简体手写 (in the case of simplified Chinese handwriting recognition) or the corresponding name of the keyboard.
Then go ahead and write a Chinese character on the screen in the box at the bottom. You will see some options of characters to enter appear, click on the right character that you want to enter. When you are done with typing Chinese, you can click on the globe bottom at the bottom of the keyboard again to switch the keyboard back to another language.

Liberty Bowl Memorial, Memphis, Tennessee Attendance: 9,475
White, Memphis overcome Houston rally for 30-27 win
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) Riley Patterson kicked a 47-yard field goal as time expired to give Memphis a 30-27 win over Houston following the Cougars' improbable comeback on Saturday.
Trailing 27-6 at the end of third, Houston's Clayton Tune threw a pair of touchdown passes around his 19-yard scoring run in the final quarter to tie it at 27 with less than a half-minute left to play.
Tune threw a 13-yard score to Marquez Stevenson early in the fourth after a 10-play, 75-yard drive. His touchdown on the ground came five minutes later with 8:01 remaining. The game-tying drive ended when Tune threw an 18-yard scoring pass to Bryson Smith with 28 seconds to go. On the 15-play, 70-yard march, the Cougars had two conversions on fourth down to keep the drive going.
Brady White responded to lead Memphis (7-3, 5-3 American Athletic Conference) on a 5-play, 46-yard drive to set up Patterson. The Tigers were aided by a 15-yard pass interference play on Thabo Mwaniki as he defended Calvin Austin III.
White found Austin two plays later on a 22-yard reception in which the receiver bent backwards across his body and appeared to injure his leg.
With the win, Memphis finished a second consecutive season undefeated at home for the first time in program history.
White, who threw for 246 yards, became the program's all-time leading passer with 10,406 yards. He moved past Danny Wimprine who played from 2001-04. His two touchdowns against Houston (3-4, 3-3) gave him 87 for his career and the win as a starter was his 27th; both Memphis records.
Tune led Houston with 270 yards passing.

The Montreal Pledge vs. the Montreal Carbon Pledge, Portfolio Decarbonization Coalition!
by The Climate | Dec 20, 2022 | Podcasts, The Climate Daily
Montreal mayor calls for cities to sign the Montreal Pledge, plus the Montreal Carbon Pledge, and the Portfolio Decarbonization Coalition!
MONTREAL MAYOR PUSHES FOR CITIES TO SIGN THE MONTREAL PLEDGE
Last week, during opening remarks at the COP15 Biodiversity conference in Montreal, Valerie Plante, that city's mayor, urged all other cities attending the two week event to take the Montreal Pledge. It's a pledge to protect biodiversity and ecosystems in urban environments through 15 specific actions. Plante initiated the Montreal Pledge because she believes cities are at the forefront in observing biodiversity loss and being impacted by its effects. As local governments, they're also well placed to take rapid, concrete action to halt this decline.
The 15 actions include
integrating biodiversity into territorial and regulatory planning,
aiming to eliminate plastic waste, cutting pesticide use by two-thirds,
ensuring the equitable and effective participation of indigenous peoples and local communities in decision-making and in the process of knowledge acquisition and transmission, and
aiming to ensure urban agriculture, aquaculture and forestry zones are accessible and sustainably managed to contribute to food security
Plante, also the Global Ambassador for Local Biodiversity, says, "With this strong commitment, the signatory cities of the Montréal Pledge will demonstrate the leadership and ambition of cities around the world to act swiftly and influence their partners to do the same, in order to reverse the trend and protect our biodiversity." Why does the Montreal Pledge matter to us? In less than a month almost 50 cities on 5 continents representing over 113 million people have signed it. Check out the link to the Montreal Pledge by clicking on the link in the Deeper Dive section of this story at theclimate.org/episodes.
BTW, the Montreal Pledge is NOT to be confused with The Montreal Carbon Pledge.
DEEPER DIVE: Montreal Pledge, Montreal Carbon Pledge
THE MONTREAL CARBON PLEDGE
So what's the difference between the Montreal Pledge and the Montreal Carbon Pledge? The MCP was launched on 25 September 2014 at PRI in Montréal, and is supported by the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI). And it states: "As institutional investors, we have a duty to act in the best long-term interests of our beneficiaries. In this fiduciary role, we believe that there are long-term investment risks associated with greenhouse gas emissions, climate change and carbon regulation. In order to better understand, quantify and manage the carbon and climate change related impacts, risks and opportunities in our investments, it is integral to measure our carbon footprint. Therefore, we commit, as a first step, to measure and disclose the carbon footprint of our investments annually with the aim of using this information to develop an engagement strategy and/or identify and set carbon footprint reduction targets."
Why does measuring the carbon footprint of one's asset portfolio matter to us? Thankfully, here's also ever-growing pressure – from governments, civil society and from the investment community – for companies and the investors that hold stakes in them to measure and reduce their carbon footprint. So, Measuring the carbon footprint of a portfolio means you can:
compare it to global benchmarks
identify priority areas and actions for reducing emissions
track progress in making those reductions
The Montréal Carbon Pledge also allows investors and investment managers to formalize their commitment to the goals of portfolio decarbonization in ways that support the transition to a low-carbon economy. The Montreal Carbon Pledge overseen by the PRI has attracted commitment from over 120 investors with over US$10 trillion in assets under management.
DEEPER DIVE: Montreal Carbon Pledge, UNPRI
THE PORTFOLIO DECARBONIZATION COALITION
So here's the thing: all this research we've been doing this week around COP15 Biodiversity taking place in Montreal has really gotten us here at The Climate Daily much more intimately acquainted with the UN. The result? We love the United Nations even more. What we've discovered is it's basically like a local library, with tons of resources, and also staff doing great research work, which they then publish. So maybe not so much a LOCAL library. More like a university library, where folks get paid to research and publish stuff.
For example, have you ever heard of the Portfolio Decarbonization Coalition, PDC? It was CO-founded in 2014 by UN Environment and its Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), the fourth national pension fund of Sweden (AP4), Europe's largest asset manager Amundi, and CDP, the most important mechanism for climate disclosure worldwide. In 2016—six years ago—the PDC authored a report which offers suggestions on how governments, investors and the PDC members themselves can accelerate the process of portfolio decarbonization in ways that support the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Why does a report that's almost seven years old matter to us? Because it exists! And because it's been around for seven years waiting for governments, investors and the PDC members themselves to use it as a template to accelerate the process of portfolio decarbonization in ways that support the transition to a low-carbon economy! Yes, I said TEMPLATE. To be fair, seventeen members of the Portfolio Decarbonization Coalition now have formal decarbonization related objectives and targets covering some or all of their investment portfolios. And twenty-seven have started to take substantive action to decarbonize their investment portfolios and have adopted a variety of approaches, ranging from engagement to divestment.
And oh by the way—they've changed their name to the Net-Zero Alliance. Strong move.

Lasting legacy or missed opportunity?
The study, led by Professor Anne Power for the poverty charity Elizabeth Finn Care, began in early 2012 with an examination of Newham prior to the announcement of the successful bid in 2005. LSE researchers then compared these results with available data up to the present day.
Annual household income rose between 2006 and 2011, but more slowly than in London or nationally. In 2011, incomes were lower than London and similar to the national average (Newham £26,681; London £31,935; national £26,615).
Newham saw much larger increases in unemployment between 2005 and 2010 than the rest of London, but less than the rest of the UK (increases = Newham 44%; London 21%; national 59%). In 2005, the unemployment rate was already double the national average and much higher than the rest of London (Newham 13.7%; London 8.8%; national 7.8%).
There has been an increase in the number of enterprises in the borough between 2008 and 2011 whereas London and England saw a reduction (Newham increase 6%; London decrease 0.4%; England decrease 4%).
The 1990s saw very poor education attainment levels. Pupils achieving 5 GCSEs A*-C: Newham 23%; national 46%. There had been a huge improvement by 2005: Newham 51%; national 57%. This improvement continued after the announcement in 2005 and Newham has now overtaken the national average.
Total crime has fallen since 2005, including decreases in violent crime and criminal damage (violent crime decrease from 32.79 offences per 1000 population to 22.31; criminal damage decrease from 18.29 to 15.27). However, there has been a large increase in drug offences (2.9 offences per 1000 population to 10.89).
Private rents are much lower than in surrounding boroughs despite the Olympics (Hackney, Tower Hamlets) and cheaper than the London average (mean monthly average for 2-bed property: Newham £833; London £980; Hackney £1,135; Tower Hamlets £1,196).
Increases in house prices since the announcement of the Olympics have been marginal, despite a much larger increase in London prices (3.5% increase in Newham 2005-2012; 32.5% increase in London; 2.2% increase nationally).
There has been a year-on-year decrease in council housing stock since 2005 (22,992 properties to 17,547 by 2012). However, Housing Association stock now stands at 13,065, up from 10,839 in 2005.
Professor Anne Power pointed out that much of what has been promised for Olympic legacy may not be seen until long after the athletes have gone home.
Malcolm Tyndall, a director at Elizabeth Finn Care, said: "It was Jack Straw, following the success of London's bid in 2005, who said 'The Games will transform one of the poorest and most deprived areas of London. They will create thousands of jobs and homes.
A full report, taking into account what happens in the year after the closing ceremony will be delivered in August 2013.

Disha Patani talks about working with Jackie Chan

Disha Patani bagged herself an Indo-Chinese film before her Bollywood debut even kicked off. The film titled 'Kung Fu Yoga', sees Patani starring alongside the acclaimed martial artist Jackie Chan.
In the Hindustan Times, Patani spoke about her experience working with Chan.�ʉ��He was like a Santa Claus on the sets and would come there with cookies and chocolates. Everyday he would get so much food for the crew. He would feed everyone and no other actor does that. He would be concerned for everyone�۪s safety. I think whatever he has got is because a lot of blessings must have gone out in the universe for him,�۝ said Patani.
The 'Loafer' (Telugu – 2013) actress added, ���He is one of the finest and kindest human beings I have come across. When you meet him, you will understand why he is the Jackie Chan. It�۪s not just for his work but also the kind of person he is.�۝
Patani who is currently playing the character of Priyanka Jha in M.S. Dhoni's biopic 'M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story', feels that by being open to films in Hollywood or Bollywood gives her more scope in cinema.�ʉ��I am an actress. My first film was a Telugu film, my second film was Bollywood and third was Indo-Chinese. It doesn�۪t matter to me where am I going. Language is not a barrier for me, I can go anywhere with my craft so, why not Hollywood,�۝ said Patani.
'Kung Fu Yoga' is scheduled for release in China on 28th January 2017.

The Pixelated Palette is a monthly digital magazine started in 2014 by Cupboard Distributing.
Andy Taylor and Bewitched are the two TV shows I recall from my childhood. With only three stations to select on our black and white TV, I spent most of my time playing with crafts. My older sister was an oil painter and I drooled over her supplies and talents. In college I majored in Fine Art (Oil Painting), but soon found out that making a living by selling oil paintings was not all fun and games. My biggest successes were selling in restaurants and furniture stores. Even that came to a halt when expecting my first child, the odor from the turpentine was totally intolerable. After the pitter patter of little feet went to school (BTW, oil and kids do not mix), I discovered the wonderful world of acrylic. I have been an addict ever since! My background in art continually encourages me to try new and exciting paints, mediums and techniques. I absolutely love what I do and feel very blessed that I am able to design and share my wonderful world of art.
I was born across the pond in England, the progeny of a proper British lady and a good ol' Kentucky boy. I came to this country at the ripe old age of 3 months in a cardboard box (no fooling, ask my dad). ;) I married my high school sweetheart, John, in 2004 and while stationed at the US Naval base in Illinois, I was introduced to the wonderful world of paper crafting and mixed media. After moving back home to Ohio, I started working at Cupboard Distributing in 2008. I live in Ohio with my husband and our 5 critters; two dogs, two kittens, and a very talkative parrot. When I'm not crafting, you can usually find me with my nose in my Kindle reading, on an adventure, or at a Cincinnati Reds game.

Mob Psycho 100 and the Beatles' Mop Tops - September 12, 2020
Chicago-based singer Jay Goeppner pours his fervent love for the music of the Beatles, and John Lennon, into every performance. His voice, and his energy onstage, are almost eerily similar to Lennon's. I've seen several of his Beatle Brothers shows, and can testify that the only time I've gotten a stronger Beatles vibe was at Paul McCartney's concerts. I caught up with Jay by phone recently, as he was returning from a last-minute road trip to fill in for the lead singer of the band Class of '68.
Jay and fellow Chicagoan Phil Angotti are the original "Beatle Brothers," who began performing together more than 30 years ago. That duo grew into a six-piece band with such a solid understanding of the Beatles' music that they play live together seamlessly despite not rehearsing together or having a predetermined setlist for shows. Both Jay and Phil have pursued many projects separately, and years have gone by between some of their their performances together. Jay fronts a cover band, Backdated, and recently formed the Jay Goeppner Band to play his original songs. He often travels internationally to perform, recently completing shows in Sweden and Finland. Phil has made multiple albums as part of Phil Angotti and the Idea and as a solo artist, as well as playing with multiple groups in the Chicago area.
How did the Beatle Brothers start? What keeps you and Phil playing together?
"We started on May 17, 1986. I call it the 'greatest accident.' I made a phone call to a radio show — Jonathan Brandmeir [of WLUP in Chicago], who was a big 'wild and crazy' DJ at the time.. He had the idea of hosting the show from a listener's house. I called and said my mom had a big basement he could use."
Once Brandmeir arrived, he begged Jay to sing. "He kep saying "Oh come on, sing! Sing!'" Finally Jay gave in and sang "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party." Brandmeir was enraptured, and used the airwavs to appeal for a partner for Jay. "He was saying, 'I need a Paul McCartney guy! Call me if you're a McCartney guy!'" When Brandmeir's efforts didn't turn up a likely collaborator, Jay suggested his friend Phil.
Jay recalls that Brandmier "asked us to go on his show on Friday at 7 a.m. We weren't even a group at the time, just two friends going in to do some Beatle harmonies." After being heard on the radio, Jay and Phil started getting gigs and became known as the "Beatle Brothers." "The station kind of named us that," Jay explained.
How do you and Phil prepare for a Beatles Brothers show? How do you decide the setlist?
Jay and Phil at Fitzgerald's
"We never make a list. We go on how we're feeling. It's funny, but when it's just Phil and I [without the four-piece band] we never make lists." When the six-member version of the Beatles Brothers plays, "we have a plan of which albums, but not necessarily which songs. We want it to be different every time . . . . We go with the feel of the crowd and what they're responding to."
Jay recalls so many "great audiences and times" in a wide range of venues that it's hard to pick favorites, but Fitzgerald's in Berwyn has the hometown advantage. "It's always a great place for us, because people are fired up and excited. There's always a good audience that is knowledgeable about the music."
Which Beatles or Lennon songs do you most look forward to performing with the band? Has that changed for you over the years?
"Being a 'John' singer, I always love 'I Am The Walrus.' In general, I like doing rarities, but I enjoy them all." Jay has a particular love for the harmony songs, since they are powerful when performed by "six pretty damn talented people."
"We never have rehearsal, because every member knows his parts. The band's always been pretty magical. Performing with other bands, we always have to rehearse. We only had one rehearsal, and that was Phil and I, back when we were a duo." Since that 1986 occasion, the Beatle Brothers haven't rehearsed as a band.
In addition to Jay and Phil, the band now features Casey McDonough, George Kralj, Rich Geist, and Dick Schmitt. Rich and Dick joined a bit later than Casey and George; the lineup has now been stable since 1994.
I saw the "Ramagine" show you and Phil did at Fitzgerald's back in 2011, where you played all of "Ram" and "Imagine." What was doing that show like?
"Well, those are my favorite Beatles solo albums, so it was a cool show to put together." For this performance, Phil and Jay worked separately, appearing with musicians they were collaborating with at the time. But they also ended the night by performing a bunch of Beatles songs together.
"Whenever Phil and I are in a room and playing together it's pretty special; we aren't together as often as we were twenty years ago. But when we are, it's always a great time."
Are there other bands whose music has the lasting force of the Beatles for you?
"I've always loved the Who, and got to share a mic with Roger Daltrey in Seattle." The 2010 benefit included drummer Alan White, who played with Yes and John Lennon, as well as Heart, the Dave Matthews Band, and members of Queen.
Jay recalls "I was doing a soundcheck — 'How Do You Sleep?' Roger told me "that was gut-wrenching.' . . . I idolized Roger for the longest time, so it was amazing to meet him."
And I believe you've also met Paul McCartney?
You-Know-Who and Jay, wearing the suit that made the meeting possible
"I've been fortunate enough to talk to him several times." Jay recalls that in 1984, when McCartney came to Chicago as part of the Give My Regards to Broad Street press tour, "I was determined to meet him. My attitude was, 'if a Beatle is coming to Chicago, I've got to see him.'"
Jay laid his strategy carefully. He found out through "good sources" some details about the McCartney contingent's arrival and stay at the Ritz Carlton, where they were meeting up with Gene Siskel.
"I scoped out the venue the night before. That day I dressed in a business suit and tried so hard not to look like a Beatle fan. I sat in the lobby reading the paper and having a coffee. When the security people came through, they ran out all the fans who were wearing Beatles and McCartney shirts. They came up to me and I pretended I wasn't interested in what was going on: 'I have a meeting.' And they left me alone."
After that initial meeting, Jay developed a routine that worked well. "All the other years after that, when he'd come to Chicago, I'd know where he'd be. I always brought flowers for Linda. Everyone would run to Paul, and I'd run over to Linda with the flowers and talk to her. I knew Paul would eventually come to her, and I'd watch people getting pulled off of him. He'd come over: 'OK, who's this guy?' And he got to know me, even autographed a guitar for me. I never asked him for an autograph after that, never pestered him for anything."
But it was Lennon you most wanted to meet, yes?
"John Lennon was my hero, and he was the one I dreamed about meeting. When John passed, I was devastated . . . . My plan had been to go to New York City when I turned 18 and somehow meet him, but he passed when I was 17. I remember being so excited when Double Fantasy came out, that he was making music again."
"After he was killed I couldn't sing, I didn't want to sing . . . . A year or so later, I remember going to Beatle Fest and everyone was saying 'Do a John song!' and then all of a sudden Harry Nilsson comes out and says 'I never heard anyone sound like John the way you do!'' I told him I didn't sing anymore because it made me so sad. 'You have a future — do it for John,' he said. That was a pivotal period for me. It made me realize that I should be doing this."
"I was eight years old when I saw A Hard Day's Night, and I knew right away that my favorite Beatle was John. I loved his sense of humor, the way he handled himself. My real name is John, but I don't use it because I don't want to be seen as trying to 'be' John. In my eyes, I'm just a person who wants to sing John's songs as best I can."
And you've gone all over the world doing it — what are some of your favorite travels and shows?
"It was a thrill being invited to Liverpool to play and perform. I played at the Cavern Club with Instant Karma in 2004– played five years in a row there. We were the first band to play inside Strawberry Fields. I remember singing there, and Julia — John Lennon's sister — was there, and she cried and told me I reminded her of John, his spirit. Julia told Billboard magazine that she followed me because 'he does it for the love.' "From that article, I've been invited to 16 countries around the world."
This year, Jay will be going to Belgium in October. Next year includes shows in Sweden, Finland, Ireland, and England, doing "just John Lennon" with bands based in those countries. "A lot of the time I'm singing solo Lennon, because so many other bands are doing Beatles songs."
"I was nervous when I first went to England, because I thought all those bands had such an edge: they're English, like the Beatles! But it was great. I've performed ten of the last twelve years in Liverpool, and brought Phil one year, the Beatle Brothers [the whole band] one year. The whole band also went to Belgium."
"It was also great to perform with Cheap Trick; in 2010 Robin Zander called me up and asked me to a background singer for the Sgt. Pepper's shows they were doing in Vegas. I took a month off work to do it! I remember seeing Cheap Trick at Chicago Fest at Navy Pier when I was fourteen. I would have thought you were crazy if you'd told me I'd end up singing with them!
So how would you sum up the Beatles Brothers at this point
"The whole Beatle Brothers thing has been a pretty magical, fun ride. I love all the guys, I love Phil. Phil and I were friends before we became bandmates. We always had this agreement that if we get tired of the business of the Beatle Brothers we should be cool enough to tell each other and just let it go. Phil wanted a break for a few years — he needed that time for his own projects. But we never said the Beatle Brothers had broken up. We were just doing different things."
"Talk about living the dream . . . . I love it all. I'm fortunate to be able to do music and have people come out and see us."
Jay's friendship with Phil also helped spark his interest in recording original music. "The Jay Goeppner Band formed about a month ago, and it's the first time I've shared my own music. I've admired Phil doing it for years, but I never felt confident enough." Finally a friend in LA talked Jay into writing songs with him, and "I started having the nerve to play my own songs to friends just to see what they think." Jay's considering releasing an album: "I may slowly start recording. I'm just enjoying it right now –not having the pressure, taking small steps."
And how would you describe your original songs?
"They're very . . . Beatles-influenced!"

I've seen Jay in concert many times. He used to do a show called Instant Karma where he did all John's solo stuff.

I watched some of YouTube videos. Sorry but I don't get it. Doesn't sound anything like John. I'll stick with the Fab Faux if I need to see a cover band.

I enjoyed the article. It's neat that Jay is able to make a living playing music, by a band he reveres. That has to be so gratifying!
It was also cool he got to meet McCartney several times. I'm impressed with his ingenuity!! I wish he would have divulged more about what his impressions of him were!
I do have to agree with Pam that after watching the video, I don't think he sounded that much like John.
Maybe it's that particular song, but I wasn't feeling it.

WILLEMSTAD - The proceeds of the parking fees in Punda and Otrobanda disappear into the pockets of parties that have nothing to do with the inner city. And the government does nothing about it. This is according to the Downtown Management Organization (DMO).
DMO believes that the current parking problem is a barrier for the population to visit the city regularly.
According to DMO, a LOB (National Ordinance document) request issued last May points out that no funds have been paid to the government since 2010. Examination of the LOB shows that no documents have been found that indicate that money is being paid.
As a result, according to the report of the Court of Audit Curacao, Curaçao will miss approximately 40,000 guilders per month that is necessary for the maintenance of the inner city. But the city sees nothing of this, says Carine Ghazzi, director of DMO.
