Q: How to calculate the change using a baseline hour in R? I have this data frame
library(lubridate)
df <- data.frame(seq(ymd_h("2017-01-01-00"), ymd_h("2020-01-31-24"), by = "hours"))
df$close <- rnorm(nrows(df), 3000, 150)

colnames(df) <- c("date", "close")
df$date <- as.POSIXct(df$date, format = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
df$hour <- hour(df$date)
df$day <- day(df$date)
df$month <- month(df$date)
df$year <- year(df$date)

I want to get the change of close price since the 16 hours. For example, after hour 16 the mean change of price in all the data at hour 18 was...and so on for all the hours. I want to set one hour as a baseline and get the change in price.
This is what I did. First I use lag but I am not sure how to set 16 hours as a baseline. However, this not even give me close to the result I want. The second approach I use lead but I have the same problem:
df_2 <- df %>% group_by(year, month, day, hour) %>%
  mutate(change = (close-lead(close)))

In summary, I want to calculate on each day the change in price from hour 16 and then get the mean change on price from 16 hours to the rest of the hours.

A: If you need around the clock diff:

setDT(df)
df[, date_number := as.numeric(as.Date(ymd_h( sprintf("%d-%d-%dT%d",year,month,day,hour) ) - hours(16))) ]
df[, delta := close - close[ hour == 16 ], .(date_number) ]

head( df, n=48 )
tail( df, n=48 )

df[, .(meanPerHour = mean(delta)), .(hour) ]

To do it correctly you need to create the Date object, which you can see in the code, then subtract 16 hours (or add 8), to make 16:00 your new 0:00 , and then cast this back to a Date, and group by that Date's day number (which you get from as.numeric).
The first 48 rows:

24:   23   3.0638861

And in the end, a neat function:

average.by.hour.by.reference <- function( df, hrs=16 ) {

    df <- as.data.table(df)
    df[, date_number := as.numeric(as.Date(ymd_h( sprintf("%d-%d-%dT%d",year,month,day,hour) ) - hours(hrs))) ]
    df[, delta := close - close[ hour == hrs ], .(date_number) ]

    return( df[, .(meanPerHour = mean(delta,na.rm=TRUE)), .(hour) ] )

}

average.by.hour.by.reference( df, 16 ) # produces the above results

Ironically
You can get, the same, or close enough for real application most likely, by not bothering with the date-wise grouping and just do a global group by hour and subtract from that what ever hour you want as reference.
(but then we wouldn't get to show all this fancy code!)

A: Using data.table you can try the following to get the difference between the baseline and the a price after 16.
df <- data.frame(seq(ymd_h("2017-01-01-00"), ymd_h("2020-01-31-24"), by = "hours"))
set.seed(56789)
df$close <- rnorm(nrow(df), 3000, 150)
colnames(df) <- c("date", "close")
df$date <- as.POSIXct(df$date, format = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
df$hour <- hour(df$date)
df$day <- day(df$date)
df$month <- month(df$date)
df$year <- year(df$date)
library(data.table)
setDT(df)
df[,dummy:= ifelse(hour>=16,1,0), .(day,month,year)] #building temporary dummy variable
df[dummy==1, Difference:= close-close[1],.(day,month,year)] # computing only when dummy=1
df[1:24,] first 24 rows

                  date    close hour day month year dummy Difference

Then to compute the average you will need.
df[dummy==1, .(Average= mean(Difference)), .(day, month, year)]
      day month year    Average

Sokratis Papastathopoulos Reveals Why He Joined Arsenal
Arsenal's new signing Sokratis Papastathopoulos has revealed why he has left Borussia Dortmund to sign for the Gunners (via Arsenal.com).
It's a transfer which has been expected for some time but finally, Arsenal have confirmed their capture of Sokratis Papastathopoulos.
The Greek international has signed for a fee believed to be in the region of €19 million.
"I feel very good. It's my first day here, everything is special," Sokratis said after completing the move.
"It's a beautiful moment and I'm very happy that I will be here for the next years."
"Arsenal is one of the three biggest teams in the Premier League and one very big club. It has a lot of fans and a very big history. Like I said before, I'm very happy that for the next years I will be here to help the team."
Sokratis is the third former Borussia Dortmund player to join the club in the last six months and was asked how it felt to be reunited with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
"I spoke [to them] a lot of times. They said to me the best things about this club, that it is one big family and of course they also called me not every day but a lot of times telling me to come here.
"Yes, it's a little bit [strange] but it's also very beautiful that I've come to one team but I also have two players who I was together with for a lot of years. I know them both very well and I'm very happy."
Sokratis Papastathopoulos is a solid signing for Arsenal. He will add solidity and experience to a backline which is drastically missing it.

«Альта» — парк-пам'ятка садово-паркового мистецтва місцевого значення. Парк розташований на території Бориспільського району Київської області, Подільська сільська рада. Об'єкт створено на основі рішення 16 сесії 21 скликання Київської обласної ради та на основі рішення Київського обласного виконавчого комітету від 26 листопада 1991 року за № 191.

Загальні дані
Землекористувачем виступає Подільська середня школа.

Площа заказника — 3 га, створений у 1991 році. Об'єкт закладений в XIX столітті. Тут у парку зростають віковічні дуби (Quercus), ясени (Fraxinus) та липи (Tilia). Панський парк займає порівняно невелику площу в центрі села. До нього прилягає ставок і болото, що є частиною болотного комплексу, розміщеного навколо села. Поряд розташоване урочище Альта, велику частину якого займає природне болото і яке входить до складу охоронної зони парку-пам'ятки. Урочище відіграє важливу роль для збереження декількох видів водно-болотних видів птахів, яких приваблює озеро посеред нього незважаючи на його розміщення у зоні постійної присутності людей.

Історія

У селі Поділля, званому у ХІХ ст. Війтовці, біля дворянської садиби пана Тумачинського на луці біля річки Альта було розбито парк, що дійшов до нашого часу у значно зміненому вигляді. Він несе історично-культурну і природну цінність. Урочище Альта є незначною частиною найбільшого в Київській області болотного комплексу, що займає у значній мірі осушену меліорацією територію від Борисполя до Переяслава. На замовлення Державного управління охорони навколишнього природного середовища у Київській області Інституту зоології імені І. І. Шмальгаузена НАН України 2011 розробляв схему розташування екологічної мережі Київської області, де зазначалось виняткове значення цих теренів для охорони біорізноманіття з перспективою відновлення. У разі реалізації цієї пропозиції парк-пам'ятка «Альта» може стати частиною значно більшої заповідної території.

Опис
З панського парку залишились алеї з старих дерев липи, ясену, дубу, що вели до панської садиби, на місці якої розташовано школа. Старий місток у парку не зберігся і був замінений новим. Більшу природну вартість несе річище Альти з збереженим гідрорежимом, старими вербами (Salix alba L.), водно-болотяною і прибережно-водною рослинністю з плакуном верболистим (Lythrum salicaria L.), осот болотяний (Cirsium elodes M.Bieb.), вовконіг європейський (Lycopus europaeus), осокою прибережною (Carex riparia Curtis.), м'ята водяна (Mentha aquatica L.), алте́єм лі́карським (Althaea officinalis L.), очеретом звичайним (Phragmites cumunis), рогозом вузьколистим (Typha angustifolia L.). Добре розвинена водяна рослинність на плесі озера, де у прибережних заростях можна побачити лиска (Fulica atra) та курочку водяну (Gallinula chloropus), що підлягають охороні відповідно до Додатком ІІ до Бернської конвенції про охорону дикої флори та фауни і природних середовищ існування в Європі. У паркових деревах поширені співочі птахи.

The Umbrella Queen
by Shirin Bridges, illustrated by Taeeun Yoo
Ages 5-8 40 pages HarperCollins June 2008 Hardcover
A little girl named Noot lives in a small Thai village that specializes in making beautiful umbrellas adorned with traditional designs of flowers, vines and butterflies. In her own family, her father makes the umbrella frames, her grandmother makes the paper covers for the umbrellas, and her mother paints the umbrellas.
Noot is finally allowed to paint the umbrellas too, and is given five umbrellas ready to be painted, along with her very own set of brushes and paints. Noot sits in a sunny corner in the garden and starts to paint…but what she paints are not the traditional designs. Instead, elephants romp across the umbrellas, chasing butterflies, attempting handstands, and just having fun being silly.
Alas, the village council's shop will only carry flower-and-butterfly umbrellas, so Noot must follow tradition as well; making umbrellas to sell in the village shop is what puts food on the table for this family.
All year long, Noot works hard at painting butterflies and flowers on umbrellas, but she also makes tiny, doll-sized umbrellas out of scraps of leftover materials on which to paint her beloved elephants. When the King arrives in the village to select that year's Umbrella Queen, he picks Noot's tiny umbrellas for having been painted "from the heart."
The Umbrella Queen is a touching book about duty and the desire for independence, told in a manner that remains faithful to Thai culture. This is author Shirin Yim Bridges's second picture book; her first, Ruby's Wish , won the Ezra Jack Keats Award. The beautiful and unique artwork by Taeeun Yoo was inspired by traditional linoleum prints. This is a great book for introducing American children to other cultures in a readily accessible way.

As the need for social distancing recedes and government restrictions ease, most people look to regain some notion of normalcy in their day-to-day lives. At the same time, many workers have come to like their office away from the office. And the COVID work-from-home experiment has gone well enough for it to stick around, possibly in a hybrid form . Those are key conclusions in a recent study (by three of this post's authors) titled "Why Working from Home Will Stick."
One frequent concern we hear about remote work is the challenge of hiring and onboarding new employees who rarely—or even never—set foot on the employer's worksite. Yet our evidence suggests that these challenges are modest and aren't a big barrier to finding, onboarding, and integrating new employees.
During the past two months, we asked executives participating in our Survey of Business Uncertainty (SBU) about their experiences hiring remote workers and integrating them into their organizations (see the three charts below). The share of new hires who work almost entirely from home (rarely or never stepping onto business premises) was 15.8 percent, a figure nearly identical to the share of all paid workdays performed at home in earlier pandemic-era snapshots from the SBU. Moreover, the share of new hires varies across industries, just as we'd expect based on research by Jonathan Dingel and Brent Neiman that flags which jobs can be performed remotely. The Survey of Working Arrangements and Attitudes (whose data underpin our aforementioned recent study, "Why Working from Home Will Stick") also suggests that new hires are at least as likely to work from home as the general population.
So as we see, new hires are working remotely to the same extent, and in the same proportion across industries, as incumbent staff. These findings suggest that integrating and training new remote workers isn't a big barrier to hiring. But it must be a pain, right? Otherwise, why all the fuss?
And here, the unanimity dissipates. Of firms with new remote workers, 60 percent say the integration process is more challenging. On average, SBU respondents say it takes about a month or so longer to fully integrate remote-only employees, though the spread about that average is pretty wide—ranging from six weeks less to six months longer.
If you're at a firm that finds it challenging to onboard remote employees, perhaps you'll find some solace in the fact that most of your new staff appear not to notice. In the The Survey of Working Arrangements and Attitudes , 42 percent of workers hired into fully remote positions during the pandemic say that adapting to their new jobs has been neither easier nor harder than adapting to in-office jobs before the pandemic. The other 58 percent are distributed similarly over "easier" and "harder" (see the chart).
Stepping back and taking a broader look, many observers wonder why aggregate U.S. employment remains 6.8 million below its prepandemic peak, despite record numbers of job openings. On the list of potential reasons for this shortfall—such as lingering concerns about the virus, generous unemployment benefits, inadequate childcare options, and more—it appears you can cross off the difficulty of onboarding and integrating remote workers.

Home Entertainment Bollywood Interview Actress Daisy...
Actress Daisy Shah Overwhelmed With Bollywood's Support
Daisy Shah Is completely opposite in real life
Actress Daisy Shah Overwhelmed With Bollywood's Support, Flickr
Actress Daisy Shah says that having started as a humble assistant dancer, she feels overwhelmed to be one of the leading ladies of a commercially successful franchise like "Race 3".
Daisy told IANS: "When I look at the film's poster, I feel so surreal thinking about my journey. I was one of the assistant dancers of 'Race' 10 years ago, and now I am one of the lead actors of 'Race 3', where I have got a chance to share screen space with some of the legends of our country like Anil Kapoor and Salman Khan. I am overwhelmed."
She began her tryst with showbiz as an assistant dancer under ace choreographer Ganesh Acharya. Daisy first worked with Salman in the film "Tere Naam" as a dancer.
Emphasising on the importance of luck to grow in the entertainment industry, Daisy said: "Luck plays an important role in Bollywood. We all work really hard to earn success but our luck has to be on the right side, especially from where I come from.
"I started from zero, really. It is about meeting the right people at the right time that makes you go where you do. And I know that in our industry, everyone works hard but not everyone gets recognition. Perhaps that is why I am quite compassionate towards people on a film set, including technicians…because I know I was one of them a while ago," said the actress.
In "Race 3", Daisy essays Sanjana, a strong-headed extrovert woman. In real life, Daisy is quite the opposite.
"I am more of an introvert person who is a little shy to get into random chat. I would rather observe people silently. My character is a quite 'out there' person," she said.
For the movie, releasing on Friday, she went through extensive training in kickboxing.

"The film has action sequences and my training in kickboxing really helped to gain good reflex. I started my training in kickboxing a year ago because I wanted to learn it. Eventually, it helped me to get things right in the film," she said.
As "Race 3" is helmed by Remo D'souza — also a well-known choreographer — asked if she wishes to work on a dance movie with him considering her love for the dance form, she said: "I had a brief chat with Remo sir, but of course we need a right script to collaborate in a film.

The recent death of a Stamford man by police tasering reminds us once again of the need for a Civilian Review Board. Police practices such as the use of Tasers -- or surveillance cameras, or punching a woman in the face last summer -- demand more oversight. Stamford needs to either form a Civilian Review Board or enhance the role of the Police Commission so we have a responsive body similar to those that have been established in New Haven, New York, Philadelphia and other cities across the country.
Civilian oversight of police is an essential component of community policing and makes the city safer for everyone. According to the New Haven city website, "The Civilian Review Board's mission is to act in the interest of the people of the City of New Haven and the Department of Police Services, by reviewing investigations of complaints by members of the public concerning misconduct by officers."
This issue was addressed by Angela Carella in her Advocate column of Aug. 25 ("Stamford needs better way to track police complaints"). Mayor Pavia and the Board of Representatives should consider this seriously as the city transitions to a new police chief.
Since many believe that innumeracy is a bigger problem in this country than illiteracy (think of all the people who took out mortgages with terms they didn't understand), you may wish to correct the all-too-common error that appeared in your Jan. 1 edition.
The last day of the 20th century was Dec. 31, 2000, not 1999. Since there was no year 0, the first decade was years 1 through 10, not 1 through 9. Since a century is 10 decades, centuries end in years that end in 0, not 9.
I do not wish to deprive Destiny Day Nielsen of the honor you have mistakenly bestowed on her. I suggest you identify the last person born on Dec. 31, 2000 (the real last child of the 20th century) and honor both of them in the future.
Both parties are guilty of being one-sided and narrow-minded. Scoring political points for their respective parties happens to be their only interest and the only reason for their arguments on the day's most important topics. Further, the arguments they claim to make on behalf of the American people have become the vehicle to raise funds, which has become more important than the arguments and the topics themselves.


Upon condition that you are the person who is occupied with the Mergers and Acquisitions, it is desired to audit the further info. Nowadays, there is no sense in refusing the smart options. Consequently, there is no sense in refusing the Virtual Repositories . It is self-understood that you should not be familiar with all their features, but in cases when you hold an interest in the effective result for your Alternative Data Rooms, we suppose that you are to overview some facts about the Digital Data Rooms.
On the first-priority basis, it is worth saying that working with the tones of papers is exacting. In our epoch, it is better on the grounds that you have the unique chance to take advantage of various laptops, cell phones etc. You get the large multicity of tools and one of the most advanced ones is the Virtual Data Rooms. Surely, there are such tools as the costless virtual datarooms repositories and the traditional repositories but it is a matter of course that the sophisticated system of protection of your papers is not guaranteed with them. When you have a doubt, you have the possibility to check the certification of numerous VDRs.
It is a general knowledge that upon condition that you are a busy person, you cannot always utilize your laptops. Thus, you have all the rights to make use of the Electronic Data Rooms with the aid of your cell phones. The most modern Virtual Data Rooms also suggest you their own branded programs. Concerning the running costs, we can maintain that in the real life, the Electronic Repositories have very pleasant prices. To say more, for 14 days you can use it free of cost.
Speaking of accomplishing business trips, you have a great chance to forget about it. This is one of the principal pros of the Due Diligence rooms, you are entitled to learn information independently from your place. Doing it, there is no sense in paying over for the official trips. It goes without saying that your depositors will also appreciate this opportunity. To be honest, with the VDRs, you may get in touch with large numbers of investors at the same time.
We realize that not all the enterprises are ready to spend plenty of money on the Up-to-date Deal Rooms. So, you are bound to think about the fact that there is the variety of Deal Rooms. Likewise, there are not high-priced online services which offer you the same positive effects as the expensive ones. There are even such Virtual Data Rooms which take charge for the users. Therefore, on condition that 2 persons use Virtual Platform, you will pay for 2 persons. It is a sublime option for the small enterprises.
Plenty of undertakings face problems when they search the necessary papers. It happens insomuch as traditionally, the archives are not really organized and in general, the companies keep plenty of files. On the assumption that you make use of the Virtual Rooms, you can organize your files and to find anything like a lamplighter.
In view of this, it is worth saying that the Virtual Rooms and the M&A settlements are the practical combo which will make your work much more productive. With the Electronic Data Rooms, you will be ready to happen on any problems. .

Sedation Dentistry, sometimes called Relaxation Dentistry, refers to the way dentist's manage Pain and Anxiety during dental appointments.
Unlike General Anesthesia where a patient is completely unconscious, asleep, and unable to respond, patients under Conscious Sedation, are able to respond to commands and breath on their own.
1. IV Sedation is used by dentists with specialized training and special certification. With this type of sedation, medications are administered directly into the blood stream. The greatest advantage of IV Sedation is that if someone is not sedated enough, the doctor can administer more medication and the effects are instantaneous. IV Sedation is not used commonly in most dental offices because of the specialized advanced training required and the requirements for certification by the State Board of Dentistry. The drugs used for IV Sedation are much more effective then the same drugs taken orally. There is profound amnesia associated with this technique.
2. Enteral Conscious Sedation "Orally Administered Sedation", sometimes called "Pill Sedation" is administered by taking a pill. All body functions remain normal and the person is able to breathe on their own. Although marketed heavily by lesser trained Dentist due to its ease of use, sleeping pills are not a reliable sedation medication on there own. Due to the poor predictability and results, Oral sedation is best used as a mild relaxer before a procedure. Only some degree of amnesia is common. The disadvantage with this method of sedation, is that the level of sedation for each person is very unpredictable, and there is a very long delay of effects if more medication is needed.
3. Inhalation Conscious Sedation, Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Sedation also known as "laughing gas". This is the most frequently used sedation method used in dentistry. All bodily functions remain normal and the person is able to breathe on their own. The patient will not fall asleep and will not have memory loss. It is best used for mildly anxious patients who wish only a small amount of sedation to "take the edge off".


Open activity monitor and look for the f.lux process to see if it's active. If it is not there, find the f.lux program in the applications folder and run it there. Note what happens, if any changes such as it appearing in the activity monitor, or if it's in the dock.
If none of the above worked, restart your computer. Then, try the above one more time. If it's still not working, do a search in finder for "flux" and move all of it to the trash, and reinstall f.lux!
Let the forum know what works!
The problem is that I am not even able to open the app for the first time when it is unarchived. Because the inscription "Can not open the app "Flux.app" appears and all I can do with it is to tap "OK"
@krasdor Let's go back to the beginning. When you download the flux app, what do you do? I'm not a mac user, but when I was using a mac system, I tried double clicking the zip folder, just to see what would happen. What I found was that it automatically unzipped the folder, AND put the zip in the trash for me! I was just amazed at how simple that was.
My first time trying it though, I did it like I do in Windows, I opened containing folder, unzipped the folder, and run the thing in the folder. I think either way works, but I'm just letting you know there's a couple ways to do it here.
What happens when you open the (either zip folder just by double clicking) or when you have the unzipped folder and open the flux app there? Does anything open?
When I unzip folder, the Flux.app appears it my Finder folder. But when I try to open the Flux.app the window with error appears. This window has only one sentence: "Can not open the app Flux.app" and all I can do with this is to tap "OK"

They ignore the flutters in their stomach, the little hints of movement that leave them nauseated and miserable. They lean on cold ceramic tiles and tell themselves that it's just a bug, that it'll pass.
But the thing is, it won't. And for the next nine months, those girls–the same ones who, before this happened, wanted nothing more than to turn 16, 17, 18, to experience high school with friends–will be forced to confront a world they haven't been prepared for with any amount of schooling. About 77 percent of teen pregnancies occurred "too soon," according to a national survey of adolescents. When a pregnancy comes unplanned in the middle of high school, teenagers are forced to make the most important choice they may ever make.
Junior Olivia Parks sits in the hospital waiting room, staring at the white tile floor. She dreads the news to come. It's impossible, right? She can't be pregnant.
A typical pregnancy lasts for approximately 40 weeks, so there was little time left until it was time to deliver the baby. After two weeks, doctors induced a state of labor because of pre-eclampsia, a condition that gave Parks an abnormally high blood pressure.
In these few weeks, Parks was given a difficult task: to decide whether or not she was going to keep and raise her child.
There were many things to consider while weighing her options. She had to figure out her future plans, whether or not she was ready to be a mother and how much she would have to sacrifice for everyone to be happy.
Ultimately, Parks decided to keep the child, but is now faced with the challenge of raising her daughter alone.
Parks now plans to finish high school, and is looking into colleges– such as Southern Arkansas University– that provide dorms for students raising children. She is enjoying her time with her 3 month-old daughter, and hopes to have a successful life with her.
His face lights up as he tells the group about his daughter. "Oh, yeah. Her name's Aubree Mechelle." She's a year old, and he gushes about her every chance he gets.
Junior Kaveone Ragland has been a father for over a year, and he has developed his relationship with her as much as he can.
For the duration of the pregnancy, Ragland wanted to support his girlfriend and their child. He attended doctor's appointments and spent time preparing for the birth of his daughter.
Once his girlfriend went into labor, Ragland spent two nights with her in the hospital to support her and assist in the process. It was of the utmost importance to him to be present at the birth, so he rarely left her side.
Since Ragland played such a large role in his girlfriend's pregnancy and the birth, he experiences an unconditional love for his daughter that has changed the way he lives.
After the birth of his child, Ragland has devoted much of his time and dedication to raising her. He knows that not a lot of teen dads take responsibility for their children, but he is determined to make her a part of his life.
Despite the challenges it has posed, Ragland plans to be an active part of his daughter's life and help his girlfriend raise her. He encourages all other teen fathers to do the same.
Senior Jordyn Zymbroy gave birth to Nathan in May 2016.
After visiting First Choice Pregnancy Center, Zymbroy decided that adoption was the best choice for herself and her child.
Zymbroy worked with the Christian adoption center called Bethany, an organization based in Little Rock. With this organization, she was able to meet with a coordinator once a week to choose the adoptive parents.
Zymbroy has developed a strong relationship with his adoptive parents. She sees him at least twice a week, the family often attends football games and he will know that she is his mother from the early stages of his childhood.
Based on the choices she made and the resulting relationship she has built with the adoptive family, Zymbroy recommends the same course of action for anyone who is unable to keep their child.

'Guestworkers: A Taxonomy'
'The Business of Belonging'
88 , July Aug 2014
Back to NLR 88, July Aug 2014
Kristin Surak
Re-selling Japan
'Japan is not interesting': thus the literary scholar Masao Miyoshi could, with a twist of irony, entitle an essay on his native country a decade and a half ago.footnote1 The dramas that have since beset Japan might serve to qualify Miyoshi's provocation. In 2011, the fifth most powerful earthquake ever recorded thrust parts of the archipelago four metres to the east and jolted the country back to the front pages. The accompanying tsunami towered forty feet high, killed twenty thousand, displaced 300,000, and ignited the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl. Capitalists hoped the destruction would be creative. When the waters cleared, the ldp was returned to power under the leadership of an unlikely innovator promising to jump-start the economy and revive the country's animal spirits with bold inflationary measures. The Economist lost no time blazoning Abe on its cover, kitted out as Superman, punching the skies.
Economic crisis and opportunity have in the past prompted a number of leading journalists to move from broadsheet to octavo and assess the island nation. In 1989, Bill Emmott predicted in the incongruously titled The Sun Also Sets that Japan would continue to hold strong (a revised edition appeared within a year). The resulting doldrums encouraged Richard Katz to take the patient's temperature a decade later in Japan: The System that Soured; again the diagnosis—only electoral reform could shake it awake—misread the symptoms. With Bending Adversity: Japan and the Art of Survival, David Pilling joins this group. A dozen years covering East Asia for the Financial Times have equipped him to update the tradition with another plotter of economic diagnosis-cum-prescription, and he pays his dues to it. Written for a non-specialist Anglosphere audience, Pilling's book is best read not just as an example of the expanding genre of works by foreign correspondents stepping back to look at the societies where they have been posted, but also as an illustration of the ways in which Japan is changing in the neoliberal imaginary. In both respects, Pilling's tone and method are distinctive.
Bending Adversity is framed by vivid descriptions of the tsunami and its aftermath. Pilling aims to take the disaster as a starting point for a broader inquiry into how Japan's institutions and its people have dealt with comparable crises. The country's modern history has been punctuated by abrupt changes of course in response to existential threats: the revolution-from-above of the Meiji Restoration in the 1860s; the Blitzkrieg imperialist expansion of the 1930s and 40s; the breakneck growth that made it the world's second largest economy in the 70s and 80s; the equally dramatic bursting of its property bubble after 1989, leaving it a world leader in zombie banks and deflationary stagnation, the 'Japanese scenario' a spectre haunting the post–2008 us and eu. Might the horrors of the tsunami and the nuclear meltdown at Fukushima—plus, Pilling slips in, the rise of China—galvanize Japan's leaders into a new leap forward? In successive chapters, he examines the ideology of Japan's uniqueness, the history of the country from Meiji times to the Pacific War, the economic miracle of the post-war decades and the debacle of the nineties. He then considers the social and cultural effects of the decades of slow growth since, the ways in which it has been handled, the Koizumi years, Japan's demographic prospects, the situation of women and youth, and its diplomatic isolation. An afterword asks whether Abe will seize the chance to 'bend adversity' once again.
In substance, the book divides into three kinds of writing: reiteration, rectification, and reportage. The chapters on the post-war economy rehearse stories familiar to anyone with a newspaper habit. These follow on much stronger sections untangling the nationalist imaginary—no other nation seems more unique or homogeneous than Japan—that ties up not merely right-wingers and people on the streets, but many analysts as well, who describe the country only in terms of how different it is to everywhere else in the world. This eye for diversity keeps the reportage fresh, which is at its best in the coverage of the tsunami. The volume opens with the country upended and its contents shaken out. Pilling tells the story of the Triple Disaster in gripping style through the fate of Rikuzentakata, an ancient town whose 70,000 seaside pines were regarded as one of the scenic beauties of Japan. They resisted the 9.0 earthquake that turned the earth to liquid with the force of 600 million Hiroshima bombs, but were no defence against the tsunami which followed half an hour later. A ghostly dust—remnants of collapsed buildings—preceded the wall of mud towering over ten yards high that reduced the settlement to a churning wreckage of homes, boats, schools, hospitals, and factories. Four minutes after the tsunami reached shore, nothing remained, and one in twenty were dead: 'It was as if the man-made world had vomited up its innards. The things that were usually hidden—piping, electric cables, mattress stuffing, metal girders, underwear, electricity generators, wiring—were suddenly on full display, like secrets expelled from the intestines of modern living.' The waves breached even the evacuation centres, sending escapees to the roof, from which they were swept away. The elderly drowned in their beds; the young, trying to rescue them.
At the other end of the book we are shown, as in some darkly comedic action film, the government and the power company in charge of Fukushima bungling clean-up efforts, concealing information, and destroying what remains of public trust. While the president of tepco hides in his office, the Prime Minister orders what company officials are reluctant to do—extinguish the plant but contain the meltdown by dumping seawater onto the reactors. But strong winds blow the loads dropped by helicopters back to sea. The ombudsman, the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, routinely covers up accidents and ignores warning signs from safety checks. The workers who carried these out did so under abysmal conditions—almost 90 per cent of the labour force at Fukushima Daiichi was sub-contracted, or sub-sub-contracted, with the day labourers carrying out the most health-threatening jobs. The government considered evacuating Tokyo, a metropolitan area home to 35 million, but would not release reports on the amount of radiation being leaked. A terrified public was not willing to let this slide, and more than 100,000 in the capital took to the streets in recurrent protests—a story barely covered in the Japanese media, notoriously more lapdog than watchdog. The catastrophe aroused both great solidarity, of which Pilling provides moving examples, and parochial discrimination. The people of Kyoto reject funerary honours for the souls of the dead in Rikuzentakata, fearing that, if burned, the wooden slats bearing their post-mortem names would contaminate the ancient capital. The rural mayor in Tohoku responds not with bitterness, but with the dignity and decorum that are rarely far from social interactions in Japan.

Pit Bulls and Rottweilers Banned from Edina
By Crystal Howerton
In a culmination of their efforts to resolve the ongoing Pit Bull issue, which has plagued Edina City Council the past couple of months, members adopted Ordinance No. 668 ultimately banning Pit Bull and Rottweiler dog breeds from the City of Edina on Monday night, June 9, 2008.
Prior to this action, citizens were given the opportunity to speak out. Pit Bull owner Jim Dick asked multiple questions pertaining to the ordinance, such as whether or not the City had contacted a licensed veterinarian in regard to attack statistics and if another breed of dog would be included in this ordinance in the event of an attack. City Council members responded to those questions and others at which time Edina Mayor Davey Strickler read Bill No. 668, Ordinance No. 668 in its entirety. A vote was conducted to hold the second reading by title only, and it was.
An ordinance amending Ordinance No. 659 and repealing ordinance No. 606, and governing the control of animals and for other purposes, Ordinance No. 668 has outlawed Pit Bull and Rottweiler dog breeds with the exception of those currently harbored within city limits providing that they abide by certain regulations including, but not limited to, registering of said animals with the City, confinement and confinement indoors, leash and muzzle, signs, insurance, identification photographs and reporting requirements. In addition, requirements have been set for any dog owner in possession of a "vicious animal" as defined in the ordinance. However, it is recommended that all pet owners familiarize themselves with the animal control ordinance, available at Edina City Hall, in order to avoid any possible violations
The ordinance will go into effect after a reasonable amount of time in which the City of Edina will notify citizens of this action by publishing notices in the local media and posting them at Edina City Hall, as well as notifying residents by mail.
Upon completion of this business, Jeanne Bailey, in the company of husband, Freddie and daughter, Lyndsey Leckbee, responded with heartfelt appreciation to the actions of City Council members regarding this issue.
In other business, the reading of the minutes and Collector's report were heard from City Clerk Margaret Gibson and Collector Betty Morgret. City Treasurer Peggy Collinge was present to give her report.
Collinge stated that increased expenses were due to unusual items last month. She said that recent changes to fees were being reflected in the budget. Alderman Craig Miller questioned Collinge as to the effect high gas prices was having on the budget. She responded that so far they were "keeping up." "We are not too far out of balance yet, but that could change," admitted Collinge.
Gary Waite and Gary Parish approached City Council members on behalf of the Knox County Community Center board. "We are actively pursuing a community center and would appreciate support from the City Council," said Waite.
Wastewater Superintendent Brad Eitel submitted a written report for the Wastewater Treatment Facility. The average daily flow for May was 160,000 gallons per day, or 72.7% of the design flow, a total of 4,953,000 gallons treated. The actual population equivalent for May was 1254 out of 2200. Eitel added that he was behind on sledge hauling having hauled last in October but at that time it was empty. In addition, the new fence at the baseball field has been completed and he reported numerous good comments.
Superintendent of Utilities Mike Wriedt met with the Board. He stated that he had addressed the areas near the post office and Farm & Home, which were mentioned during Alderman comments at the last month's meeting. Wriedt stated that the lift stations were pumping over capacity due to continuous rains resulting in a broken pump. He is making inquiries to have it repaired. Wriedt said he is delaying the purchase of oil for street improvements until the rain slacks off.
City Council members discussed the possibility of hiring a temporary part-time employee. Wriedt was contacted by Mike Fox, of Kirksville, MO, recently who was interested in part-time employment. Alderman Albert Hagerla announced that he had was aware of Fox's experience with grader work and other abilities. Wriedt stated that someone with that kind of knowledge would be a benefit to the City. Council members agreed that they had no objections to hiring Fox as temporary part-time employee to be used at Wriedt's discretion, providing that he was conscientious about labor.
He announced that city employees have started keeping track of fuel usage and how much was being spent for mowing, trucks, etc.
Wriedt suggested the early purchase of pipe for future water line replacement projects to save on costs. He foresees the cost of PVC pipe rising significantly as gas prices continue to raise. In addition, he recommended that the cost of digging permits be raised from $50 to $100. According to Wriedt, the act of doubling the digging permit fee will still only barely cover the costs to the City for fuel and rock prices and hauling. It was the consensus of the Board to prepare an amendment for the Board's approval next month.
Wriedt said that he had spoken with Knox County Presiding Commissioner Pete Mayfield and Larry Barnes regarding sidewalk and curb replacement on the west side of the courthouse. The City and County are in cooperation for this project, which will begin the week after the 4-H Fair. He discussed the need to purchase forms for the project, as well.
Little discussion was held concerning the demolition update; Police Chief Roger Waibel was absent due to an illness. However, Gibson did report that asbestos had been removed from the McCauley properties.
City Council members received two applications for building permits. Sam Smith has proposed another location for his rabbit operation, which was discussed at the May meeting. The new application is for 606 Marion Street. He proposes to purchase the property, owned by Caroline Adkins, and replace the existing trailer with a 14×70 foot mobile home. Although absent from the meeting, Smith had reportedly talked to the neighbors who were agreeable to this.
Alderman Donnie Davis commented that he was opposed to having this type of operation in the city limits. After some discussion, the permit was approved by a 4-2 vote. Yea: Gordon Edwards, Renee Edwards, Craig Miller and Albert Hagerla. Nay: Donnie Davis and Tom Morgret. Unanimously approved was M. (Sparky) Wenger's application for a building permit to construct a 30×40 foot shop at 302 S. Fulton.
April LaJune addressed the Board regarding a liquor license. LaJune is anticipating the purchase of Sugar Bear's Café in Edina on July 1. As a potential owner of the restaurant, which will be referred to as The Classic Cup, La June requested a liquor license to serve beer and wine to compliment her menu items. Aware that Edina Ordinance No. 582-L limits the number of City beer and liquor licenses to six, LaJune asked the Council to consider amending the ordinance to categorize businesses/events that can hold a liquor license as follows: Tavern/Bar & Grill, Hotel and Restaurant, Retail Liquor Store, Club and Optional Premises/Event.
City Council members did not feel that any harm would come from another restaurant possessing a liquor license but was adamant that they did not want any more bars in Edina. A special meeting will be held on Monday, June 23, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. to decide this issue.
Mayor Strickler read from minutes of the Clarence Cannon Wholesale Water Commission board meeting containing disturbing news. In essence, it is very likely that the City of Edina will soon be paying more for their water supply contract. CCWWC General Manager Liz Grove plans to attend the July meeting of the Council to discuss this.
Council members adopted City Resolution No. 669, a resolution of intent to participate in natural hazard mitigation and to work toward becoming a safer community.

Book festivals are designed to introduce readers to authors, wether they are famous bestselling authors or local unknown authors. Most events are held over a one day period, while some are two days long. This short window of opportunity for an author to find new readers and for many small indie or unknown authors, it can also be very costly.
For the book festival organizers, the job not only encompasses getting well-qualified authors to attend but to get the readers to attend and spend money. This becomes an increased expense for the festival organizers to market and promotes all aspects of the event. Sadly, in many cases, the festival barely makes enough money to cover its expenses, and as seen over the past year, many are closing down due to the high cost of the event and lack of financial return.
Few book festivals display much information about the overall event beyond the initial promotion of the event, and even then, keep their websites to a limit with author information and other valuable tools. BFN goes the extra step of promoting the event with its own subdomain for the festival on their system but also giving the authors additional pages to use for promotion of themselves and their books. These additional pages then increase the book festivals net worth and search engine value.
BFN then takes the event one step further by NetCasting the event live as it happens. With interviews of the Authors and those participating in the event. Then, they edit the video so each participating author has a video for their BFN web page which then furthers promote who they are and the books they have written.
Finally, as the website is up and running long after the event, the organizers are then given the opportunity to use the registered guest's information for promotion of attending authors books with coupons, newsletters, or other forms of interactive connectivity that keep their event alive beyond the single event date.
This turns their event into an opportunity to promote their sponsors, which then allows for continued income and growth by showing the value of sponsorship of their event. The authors also benefit from the additional exposure, which then reinforces the belief of value of spending the money to attend the festival.
BFN has created greater opportunity for promotion and increased income for all parties involved, which leads to greater success and production for future events.

Greens Welcome Cosmetic Animal Testing Ban and Vow to Keep Up Pressure on the Government
Mehreen Faruqi 15 Feb 2019
Australian Greens Senator for NSW and Spokesperson for Animal Welfare, Dr Mehreen Faruqi, has welcomed a ban on animal testing for cosmetics. A full ban is conditional on the Government enacting further measures outside Parliament, and Senator Faruqi has vowed to keep the pressure on the Government. The Greens have been at the forefront of pushing for a ban on cruel cosmetics for years, including introducing the first bill to ban animal tested cosmetics in 2014.
Senator Faruqi said:
"This is a great step forward for animals. Animals shouldn't suffer and die to test cosmetics or other ingredients. I am proud that the Greens have been at the forefront of this campaign against cruel cosmetics.
"The Government had previously tried to pass a partial ban that would not have come close to ending animal testing. Thanks to the crossbench, the opposition and the Greens standing together, we have been able to extract commitments from the Government for a full ban. The Greens will be pursuing the Government relentlessly to ensure that it follows through with its commitments.
"Australia has lagged behind the world in banning animal testing which is both cruel and completely unnecessary. People quite rightly expect that animals should not have to suffer significant pain and distress, and in many cases die, for cosmetics.
"I want to pay tribute to former Greens Senator Lee Rhiannon who introduced the first bill to ban animal testing for cosmetics and strongly pushed to protect animals from unnecessary and cruel procedures," she concluded.

The scirocco is a warm, sultry, rain-bearing wind, but if the rain comes, that is also 'of the process' – the dao – and Odysseus' final voyage 'outward from Herakles' to his death is also 'of the process' just as was Lucifer's fall (the original 'light-bringer') and Mussolini's passing. And now Pound, himself, trapped symbolically in Polyphemus' cave is 'noman' (840/426) or 'ΟΫ ΤΙΣ' – 'Odysseus' is now the name of his 'family'. Mussolini's own 'periplum' takes him 'past the pillars' in his death, but his voyage is also the voyage Odysseus made at the end of his life to find the fabled paradiso terrestre . The sun's 'great periplum' has brought darkness upon the earth, but it has also brought 'the stars to our shore' and with the sun gone down, a man can see further into the heavens – he can then see the points of light we call stars: tiny fragments, as it were, of a paradiso 'spezzato' ('broken', 864/438).
The potentiality of death is a striking feature of Canto LXXIV : life also has a tough resilience 'under les six potencies ', and people can be as 'squawky as larks over the death cells' (840/426). One of the most resonant images of transcendence in The Pisan Cantos is also initially associated with the proximity of death: 'from the death cells in sight of Mt Taishan @ Pisa' (842/427). Mount Tai ( Tài Shān ) in Shandong province has been briefly mentioned before in the poem, when Emperor Yang-Kien is recorded as having sacrificed on 'Mt Taï Chan' in Canto LIV (542/284). It is often regarded as the first of the 'Five Sacred Mountains' of China and is particularly associated with the sunrise, birth and renewal. Several peaks of the Monti Pisano would have been visible to Pound from the D.T.C. facility at Coltano and it is unclear which one he particularly associated with Mount Tai, but it is clear enough that one of those distant peaks represented a new beginning for him – a hope of paradise. 'Taishan', in fact, becomes an important element of the natural beauty that he saw about him and which helped him to train his vision to discern from afar the paradiso terrestre (which, in Dante's Purgatorio stands atop another sacred mountain):
Che sublia es laissa cader
between NEKUIA where are Alcmene and Tyro
and the Charybdis of action
to the solitude of Mt Taishan
femina, femina, the wd/ not be dragged into paradise by the hair,
( Canto LXXIV , 850/431)
The quotation in Provençal is from Bernart de Ventadour's 'Quan vei la lauzeta mover' – and refers to the lark 'who forgets himself and lets himself fall' at that moment when the bird begins to spiral slowly down through the air as it sings. Pound had used the image before, in Canto VI (42/22) and it also occupies a significant place at the very end of his poem ('Notes for Canto CVII et seq.' 1494/803). In Canto LXXIV the lines immediately prior to this quotation record 'two larks in contrappunto' (850/431).

The Belgian-German multinational corporation Agfa-Gevaert N.V (known by most of us as AGFA) has today announced what many of us already knew to be true. The company, popular for its very affordable, rather bold C41 35mm films (available in both 200 and 400 speeds) has earned a cult following for producing a good consumer-grade product at a (very) cheap price point. It was well publicised that the AGFA emulsion was produced by the dwindling film powerhouse that is FUJI, so when the green juggernaut began killing off its own lines of film, people instantly started wondering about the fate of the humble VISTA. The death of the film stock, which runs against the grain of a global resurgence in film, reminds us that even with the ability to fight (and live), there will be some casualties.
JCH today wrote that "A quick pop into the local Yodobashi Camera today here revealed a grand total of 3 rolls of Vista 200 and none left of the 400." While some might argue that's a single camera store in a single region, if Yodobashi aren't carrying a wealth of a the modest, playful colour film, it's unlikely there's more of it stashed elsewhere. Late last year, UK seller Poundland announced the discontinuation of their roll in distributing the stock, which came as a massive shock to the community. It's these drops of information that point toward the demise of VISTA, rather than an official statement by any singular authoritative figure.
Like most stocks that find themselves discontinued, packs and fresh rolls will still be found circulating for some time to come, so if you're a big VISTA fan, now might be the time to go out and grab a roll or two and keep it (well stored) for whatever the right occasion might be.


"I was asked to open the windfarm at Delabole. At that time nobody was talking about a gigantic programme, getting 15 or 20 per cent of the country's energy from wind turbines. It was a kind of nice green gesture. I think, now that I know as much as I do, I wouldn't have touched it with a bargepole."
—James Lovelock, the founding historical and cultural leader of environmentalism for environmentalists around the world and originator of the GAIA concept.

Maddie & Tae Singer Tae Dye's Baby Arrives Early [Pictures]

Maddie & Tae singer Tae Dye's baby was born on Monday (Jan. 17). The little girl arrived very early, but is "beautiful, strong and everything we have ever dreamed of," a post on the country duo's social media shares.
When Tae Dye and husband Josh Kerr revealed they were pregnant last November, they pegged spring 2022 as the arrival date. However, last month Dye was put on bedrest in the hospital, when their baby was 24 weeks gestation.
One week ago, the couple indicated that their daughter would be arriving early, and indeed she did. Leighton Grace Kerr was was born at 2 lbs., 5 oz.
"She decided to be a Capricorn like her daddy," a caption alongside four pictures notes. "We already can't wait for the day we get to take her home."
Leighton Grace is 26-year-old Dye and 31-year-old Kerr's first baby together. They married in February 2021.
The set of pictures show the new mom and dad looking at their daughter in the NICU lovingly and holding her tiny feet and hands. Given that Dye was admitted to the hospital with the baby at 24 weeks, she was born between 28 and 30 weeks. Full-term is 40 weeks.
Because of Dye's bedrest, Maddie & Tae needed to cancel their CMT Next Women of Country Tour, scheduled for this month. The duo have a new EP called Through the Madness Vol. 1, set for release on Jan. 28.
In the comments of his Instagram post, Kerr reveals how emotional the experience has been. "It's the last picture for me," he says, with a watery-eye emoji. His followers agree.
