Heavy drinkers and heavy smokers develop Alzheimer's disease years earlier than people with Alzheimer's who do not drink or smoke heavily, according to new research.
"These results are significant because it's possible that if we can reduce or eliminate heavy smoking and drinking, we could substantially delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease for people and reduce the number of people who have Alzheimer's at any point in time," said study author Ranjan Duara, M.D., of the Wien Center for Alzheimer's Disease at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, Fla. The findings were presented April 16 at the American Academy of Neurology 60th Anniversary Annual Meeting in Chicago.
In the study, researchers found that the combination of heavy drinking and heavy smoking sped up the age of onset of Alzheimer's by six to seven years. That is a considerable number, making them among the most important preventable risk factors for Alzheimer's disease.
The number of cases of Alzheimer's is expected to balloon in coming years, as the aging baby boomers reach their 70s and 80s, when Alzheimer's is most likely to strike. Delaying its onset by six to seven years through a healthy, smoke-free lifestyle could cut considerably the number of expected cases of the disease.
The study looked at 938 people age 60 and older who were diagnosed with possible or probable Alzheimer's disease. The researchers gathered information from family members on drinking and smoking history and determined whether the participants had the APO-E4 gene, which increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease. People who carry this gene variant also tend to develop Alzheimer's at an earlier age than those who do not have it, though it is by no means a guarantee that someone will develop Alzheimer's.
About 7 percent of the study participants had a history of heavy drinking, which was defined as more than two drinks per day. One in five, or 20 percent, had a history of heavy smoking, which was defined as smoking one pack of cigarettes or more per day. And 27 percent had the APO-E4 gene variant.
Researchers found that people who were heavy drinkers developed Alzheimer's 4.8 years earlier than those who were not heavy drinkers. Heavy smokers developed the disease 2.3 years sooner than people who were not heavy smokers. People with APO-E4 developed the disease three years sooner than those without the gene variant.
Adding the risk factors together led to earlier onset of the disease. People who had all three risk factors developed the disease 8.5 years earlier than those with none of the risk factors. The 17 people in the study with all three risk factors developed Alzheimer's at an average age of 68.5 years; the 374 people with none of the three risk factors developed the disease at an average age of 77 years.
Heavy drinking, like cigarettes, may be bad for the entire body, including the brain. Excess alcohol is known to damage the liver and other organs, including the brain. In some cases, heavy drinking can lead to permanent memory problems that resemble those of Alzheimer's.
Any damage to the brain — whether it's due to alcohol, poor blood flow, a stroke, or other reasons — is not a good thing. Alcohol damage may be particularly important for those concerned about ailments like Alzheimer's, since a diminished brain capacity may contribute to memory problems and speed the onset of mental decline, research suggests.
A drink or two a day, on the other hand, is recognized by many as an effective way to ease stress and may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's. Some studies suggest that antioxidants and other substances in wine and other beverages may boost longevity and heart health and possibly even help to ward off serious ailments like Alzheimer's disease. A glass of red wine with dinner is part of the traditional Mediterranean diet, which has also been shown to reduce the risk for Alzheimer's.
The bottom line: If you drink, do so in moderation. That means two drinks a day tops for younger men, and just a drink a day for women and older people. And if you smoke, quit.

Q: NGINX with mono and fastcgi-mono-server4.exe in windows For academic purposes i am trying to set up the Nginx with mono on my dev. machine (Windows 7).
I got stuck at one point and not sure how to proceed.

*

*Installed Nginx and configured it to run on a different port and its working fine. can browse localhost and everything is working fine.

*Installed Mono and it installed properly under system root.

One thing i am not sure was as referenced in most of the documents is to start the fastcgi-mono-server4.exe that way the asp.net files gets executed and i cant find that file. Where and how to download that file and install it in windows so that i can run it and hence can start nginx?
All the documents point to installing it on a Linux but as said earlier trying to set this on a windows 7 machine.
Please let me know how i can achieve this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
FYI... this is the document i was referring to http://www.mono-project.com/docs/web/fastcgi/nginx/ and it mentions in the last section to start the Mono FastCGI server.
Thanks,

The Tourism Era & Future Transformation: the history of the Gold Coast, part 3
After the struggle of the 80s and 90s, Gold Coast developers wasted no time taking advantage of the prosperous 00s. With sophisticated nightclubs and no-height-limit developments taking shape, the 2000s completely transformed our beloved Gold Coast. The 2010s race for entertainment and shopping venues kept our holiday destination status thriving, which has enticed many to call the Gold Coast their home.
The future of the Gold Coast is an exciting one, with many revolutionary developments in the works and on the plans. The future of our city will be a time unlike any other, and one that will make our history as a small little beach town difficult to recall out of the soaring skyscrapers and innovative city infrastructure.

Gold Coast History: 2000s-Now, and Looking Forward
Following the recession of the 1990s, the early 2000s brought a steady economic recovery to the region. This was also the era when tourism was embraced and attracted high value investment from government and private enterprise. The establishment of a varied and sophisticated night life with nightclubs, such as Vanity, Swingin' Safari, The Ruby Tramp and many more, cemented the Surfers Paradise 'Glitter Strip' amongst the nation's top attractions.
The 2000s was an era that achieved unprecedented heights, pun intended. During this time, the Gold Coast skyline welcomed many major developments reaching incredible heights, including: Q1, Soul, The Oracle twin towers and more. It was a development boom unlike any other, with many investors and project developers achieving residential tower heights never before seen in South East Queensland.
Alongside major residential high-rise developments, the 2010s welcomed many new entertainment venues and shopping precincts. It was a sign that the Gold Coast had evolved into a sophisticated, prosperous and highly attractive city where more and more people are choosing to reside and invest.
The future of the Gold Coast is projected to be a prosperous one, with multiple multi-billion and multi-million development projects in the works. It is an exciting time to be on the GC. Dedicated to ongoing economic growth, the Gold Coast can expect to see tourism, residential and entertainment projects that will transform its beautiful skyline.

Bhubaneswar: The Odisha Police has issued a press release stating that a fake document is being circulated in social media purported to be an assessment report of some assembly constituency by the Intelligence Department. The Police clarified that the document is fake and fabricated. It has also said that urgent legal action would be taken against persons responsible for such blatant lie.
The Odisha police has advised all to desist from circulating the fake document. Circulation of such false message will call for legal action.
It is also clarified that there is no section like SIB Political Desk in Odisha Police Intelligence Department as mentioned in the fake letter. SIB is Subsidiary Intellignce Bureau commonly known as IB. Even the letter head, correspondence format, despatch Number and signatures shown in the letter are forged and fabricated.
On a report of Sh. Kartikeshwar Samal, SP, Special Branch, Odisha, Bhubaneswar regarding circulation of a fake and fabricated letter in the name of State Intelligence Branch, Kharvel Nagar PS case no. 85 dated 18.03.2019 under section 465, 468, 469, 471 IPC has been registered.
The FIR states that there is no section in the Intelligence Directorate in the name of 'SIB Political Desk'. Neither the letter has been issued from any of the offices of the Intelligence Directorare. There have been manipulation and fabrication of the purported letter.
This is very low level trick. A similar trick was created during the Karnataka assembly elections when Siddharmaiya contested from two assembly seats. It shows how low a political party can go when people have rejected them.

RIP Jean Simmons
If things had gone a bit differently, she might well have been as huge a superstar as such contemporaries as Audrey Hepburn or Natalie Wood — she certainly had the talent and screen presence to do so. However, as I'm reminded by her New York Times obituary, an ugly situation involving a sexual proposition the married actress got from Howard Hughes may have prevented Jean Simmons from reaching the super-stardom she deserved as much as anyone. The vindictive aviation and filmmaking magnate may have deliberately put her in films he thought were inferior and refused to allow his film studio to lend her out for the lead in "Roman Holiday," the role that deservedly made Audrey Hepburn a more or less instant star.
Nevertheless, Ms. Simmons, who sadly passed on yesterday at age 80 from lung cancer, outlasted her Hughes contract and gave witty and altogether enchanting performances in numerous and diverse films, ranging from break-out teenage performances as the young Estella in David Lean's still-definitive 1946 version of "Great Expectations" (she'd eventually play Mrs. Havisham in a TV production) and as Ophelia in Laurence Olivier's 1948 "Hamlet." As a puckishly beautiful adult actress who pretty much owned the word "luminous," she had no problem quietly stealing scenes on an epic scale from the likes of Kirk Douglas in "Spartacus," Burt Lancaster in "Elmer Gantry," Gregory Peck in William Wyler's underrated "The Big Country," and, most famously these days, Marlon Brando in her only musical appearance, "Guys and Dolls." Brando was easy to outshine musically though she was also easily his acting equal or superior, but here she shows she would have had to chops to almost hold her own musically with with costar Frank Sinatra, if only the script had called for it. What she lacks in polish, she more than makes up for in sheer commitment.
An admitted survivor of alcoholism, Simmons was a class act on every level who famously complimented Hepburn on her great "Roman Holiday" performance, as painful as it must have been to watch and even though it's not clear that she wouldn't have been just as good in the role. She kept working through most of her life — her last significant role was her voice work in the English-language version of "Howl's Moving Castle" — and her loss to the world of entertainment is not a small one. She was often low-key, but she was never dull.
There's more from David Hudson, Edward Copeland, Jose at the Film Experience, and Glenn Kenny. The L.A. Times also has an excellent and very detailed obituary.

Shout it from the rooftops. The trades have revealed that an essentially South African film with a previously unknown, first-time feature director, a cast of complete unknowns, and an R-rating is not only #1 at this week's highly competitive box office, it significantly over-performed even the highest expectations I mentioned last time. Forget those more optimistic numbers of $25 million+, it has earned an extra-profitable estimated $37 million.
As Nikki Finke points out, the outstanding showing of "District 9" is especially mighty considering that the film's budget was only an extremely modest by sci-fi action standards $30 million, not including its no doubt pricey viral and not-so-viral marketing campaign. Oh, and it got excellent reviews, too and that's supposed to be box office poison because movie goers hate writers or something. Weird. I don't think Peter Jackson's name in the credits alone can do that alone, though I'm sure it didn't hurt.
Meanwhile, wither "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra"? Stephen Sommers PG-13 sci-fi actioner with a budget of $170 million, not including its no doubt expensive damage-control oriented marketing campaign, met its expectations with an estimated $22.5 million, dropping 59% — fairly typical for this kind of Hollywood product. It should be noted, however that "Joe" was on 4,007 screens, while "District 9" was at 3,049. In terms of per screen averages, it amounts to a real trouncing with Blomkamp's film netting a huge $12,135 per screen as compared to the unofficial "Team America" remake's merely solid $5,615 average. (Okay, I admit it. It's not right, but I haven't even seen this movie and I really have it in for it; I was provoked.)

Crosslinkers dramatically increase the effective molecular weight of the guar and guar derivatives by binding polymer chains, which increases the viscosity of the fracturing fluid, enhancing the proppant carrying capacity while reducing fluid loss.
A 3% borate based, high pH self-buffering, cross-linker designed to provide immediate viscosity in guar or HPG (hydroxypropyl guar) based fracturing fluid systems. It contains internal buffers that automatically raise the pH of the gelled fluid to the range of 9 to 11 for cross-linking. This eliminates the need for external buffers and allows for an immediate cross-link. BIO-CROSS 104 assists in minimizing fluid loss to the formation, thereby contributing to more efficient fractures being produced.
A high temperature borate cross-linker that provides a delayed cross-link in guar or HPG (hydroxypropyl guar) based fracturing fluid systems. It provides substantial gel strength and proppant carrying capabilities at temperatures greater than 250°F (121°C). BIO-CROSS 109M assists in minimizing fluid loss to the formation thereby contributing to more efficient fractures being produced.

Stoney isn't a religious little stoner, but can't deny all the soulful gospel breaks out there. ALC/Budgie Beats/Ras G/Tuamie/Jake One all released classic beat tapes from all gospel source material. Then you've got cats like Nas/2pac/Mobb Deep/Biggie and others who aren't shy about rapping about God. Well, Stoney started diggin'; smoked a few blunts; and got busy on them turntables.
I'm not exactly sure who is solely responsible for the recent trend of Gospel-sourced music, but I first became aware of it through J. Rocc's Adventures in Stereo program on KPFK, where he devoted an entire episode to Gospel themed music (late 2015). On this particular episode, J. Rocc had Budgie Beats as a guest. Through my introduction to Budgie Beats, I became aware of his collaboration with ALC on The Good Book (a beat tape with all Gospel sample sources). Both discs of the The Good Book (basically two separate albums; one by ALC and the other by Budgie) are absolutely classic. House Shoes' SCM label has also released several gospel themed albums by Ras G, Tuamie, and Jake One.
The aforementioned albums don't comprise the entire Stoney Finds God mix, but songs from those albums make up the bulk of the music used. Music from the likes of David Axelrod, 2pac, Mobb Deep, Nas, Biggie, MC Hammer, ATCQ, and a few others will be heard on the mix. Volume 2 of The Good Book came out during the making of this mix, so no songs from that album will be heard on the mix. Perhaps there will be a second volume of the mix. Time will tell.

Cherkassky, Lisa; University of Derby (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020-06-15)
In Re: AB (Termination of Pregnancy), the Court of Appeal was asked to consider an assumption made about the future living arrangements of a pregnant patient, and the weight to be ascribed to her wishes and feelings when she had no real understanding of her predicament. This commentary explores the importance of taking into account the perspective of the patient, even if suffering from a mental disorder, and it will analyse the existing common law to show that the weaker the ability of the patient to form her own wishes and feelings, the more appropriate it would be to rely on the remaining evidence.
Regional Economic Communities as the Building Blocs of the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement
Ajibo, Collins .C; Nwankwo, Chidebe .M; Ekhator, Eghosa; University of Nigeria; University of Derby (MARVIS BV, 2021-06-16)
The African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement (AfCFTA) recognises the Regional Economic Communities (RECs) as the building blocs for continent-wide integration in line with the historical efforts reflected in the Lagos Action Plan of 1980 and the transitional plan of the African Union (AU) articulated in the 1991 Abuja Treaty establishing the African Economic Community (Abuja Treaty). The AfCFTA enjoins State Parties that are members of other RECs, which have attained among themselves higher levels of elimination of customs duties and trade barriers than those provided for under the Protocol, to continue maintaining this, and where possible improve upon, existing higher levels of trade liberalisation among themselves. While RECs are fundamental to the African integration experience and are considered the building blocs of AfCFTA, several challenges may emerge. This paper examines the prospects and challenges of RECs under the recently established AfCFTA regime.
The regulation of illegal fundraising in China
Huang, Flora; Liu, Xinmin; Yeung, Horace; University of Essex (Taylor and Francis, 2018-10-03)
The rise of financial technology means that it is easier than ever to raise funds from a large group of people, notably via peer-to-peer lending or crowdfunding platforms. This article seeks to discuss the law on illegal fundraising, which has existed for some time before the boom of the Internet, as a legal response to the increasing number of fundraising from the public. Regulation is necessary to ensure market order and investor protection. Virtually in all markets, there are restrictions on how entities can make a public offer of shares, bonds and/or other investment schemes. There are several laws, most notably criminal law, in China that are relevant to illegal fundraising. An individual/company can poten- tially breach one or more of these rules as long as they attempt to raise funds from a non-conventional (i.e. not stock markets or banks) route. The worst outcome of this used to be death penalty. There has been a degree of ambiguities in the application of these laws. The article will attempt to clarify these ambiguities. The regulation of illegal fundraising can have a far reaching conse- quence on the financial markets in China, considering that non- state entities, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, have limited access to conventional finance. The article will con- sider whether China is on the right track in terms of regulation to allow alternative fundraising channels to thrive. This article is the first ever to present a holistic account of the regulation of illegal fundraising in China.

Ricoeur and the hermeneutics of suspicion
Scott-Baumann, Alison; University of Derby (Continuum Bloomsbury, 2009)
Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005) was one of the most prolific and influential French philosophers of the Twentieth Century. In his enormous corpus of work he engaged with literature, history, historiography, politics, theology and ethics, while debating 'truth' and ethical solutions to life in the face of widespread and growing suspicion about whether such a search is either possible or worthwhile. In Ricoeur and the Hermeneutics of Suspicion, Alison Scott-Baumann takes a thematic approach that explores Ricoeur's lifelong struggle to be both iconoclastic and yet hopeful, and avoid the slippery slope to relativism. Through an examination of the 'hermeneutics of suspicion', the book reveals strong continuities throughout his work, as well as significant discontinuities, such as the marked way in which he later distanced himself from the 'hermeneutics of suspicion' and his development of new devices in its place, while seeking a hermeneutics of recovery. Scott-Baumann offers a highly original analysis of the hermeneutics of suspicion that will be useful to the fields of philosophy, literature, theology and postmodern social theory.
Risk management in stalking victims: A multi-agency approach to victim advocacy
Jerath, Kritika; Tompson, Lisa; Belur, Jyoti; University of Derby; University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand; University College London (SAGE Publications, 2020-12-15)
A pilot Multi-Agency Stalking Intervention Programme (MASIP), introduced in three police forces in England, provided among a range of interventions, the delivery of safety planning advice, and needs-based support for stalking victims through a bespoke advocacy service. The ultimate aim of MASIP was to equip victims with tools to manage the variety of harms caused by stalking, as well as enable them to access the criminal justice system with adequate support. This study explores the personal needs of stalking victims from the perspectives of stalking victims, advocates and stakeholders involved in the intervention program, as part of a larger evaluation study conducted by the authors. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a total of 10 stalking victims who participated in the MASIP, three advocates who directly interacted with the victims, and 19 MASIP stakeholders involved in the project. Findings revealed that overall, victims believed the advocacy service aided their ability to cope with the realities of stalking. Having a victim advocate as single point of contact made victims' journey through the justice system easier to navigate, provided them with the emotional support that they required to deal with the harms of stalking and the practical advice offered regarding their personal safety, and allowed them to feel in control of their own risk management. Advocates reported that the multi-agency context helped in risk assessment and ability to design and deliver bespoke support plans, which uniquely improved victims' engagement with the service. Due to the small size and possibly biased sample, our conclusions must be interpreted with caution.
The secret world of liver transplant candidate assessment
Selecting a disabled embryo can constitute grievous bodily harm
Cherkassky, Lisa; University of Derby (2015)
The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 (as amended) in the UK allows parents to select a disabled embryo for implantation as part of fertility treatment services. There was widespread condemnation of a couple in the United States who intentionally conceived two deaf children, and there is evidence to suggest that requests for dwarfism are on the rise. This article suggests that it is an offence against the person to give birth to an intentionally disabled child, and that this is a unique criminal act that can be distinguished from a wrongful life action (rejected in UK law by McKay v Essex Area Health Authority [1982] Q.B. 1166). The components of s.18 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 will be explored to prove that should an intentionally disabled child ever come forward, a prosecution may be possible under the criminal law.
Self-disclosure and self-deprecating self-reference: Conversational practices of personalization in police interviews with children reporting alleged sexual offenses
Childs, Carrie; Walsh, Dave; University of Derby (Elsevier, 2017-11-06)
This article examines how police officers ostensibly reveal personal information about themselves in investigative interviews with children reporting their being victim of alleged sexual offenses. We identify two practices of personalization. First, we show how, during the opening phase of interviews, officers engage in clear, unambiguous self-disclosure and how these self-disclosures are designed to elicit expressions of affiliation from witnesses. Second, we identify instances of self-deprecating self-reference as in 'I'm going deaf that's all'. These self-references are delivered to manage trouble responsibility in environments of repair. We show how they manage the conflicting demands of rapport building and the requirement to make interviewees feel as if they are being listened to and understood, on the one hand, and the need for effective evidence gathering, on the other. The present study extends understanding of how officers personalize the investigative interview, as recommended by best practice guidelines.

Shareholder protection in China from a numerical comparative law perspective
Huang, Flora; Yeung, Horace; University of Essex; University of Leicester (Oxford Academic, 2019-04-16)
The traditional approach in legal comparative research is doctrinal rule based. A relatively recent breakthrough has been the use of econometric techniques in comparing the extent of success in different jurisdictions with respect to, for example, protecting shareholders. The meshing of legal research and econometrics is known as 'leximetrics'. One of the most prominent and widely cited use of leximetrics is the seminal study by Rafael La Porta and colleagues on the correlation between shareholder protection and financial development. The study, though highly influential, has attracted various criticisms. Subsequent studies have sought to build on the study by coming up with improved research design. For example, using a panel data set covering a range of developed and developing countries, researchers from the Cambridge Centre for Business Research have discovered that a significant upward movement in the level of shareholder protection was made by China between 1990 and 2013. It has been suggested that, during this period, China experienced the 'biggest increase in shareholder protection' among 30 countries studied, and China was amongst the top performers (along with France and Russia) in shareholder protection in 2013, performing even better than the United Kingdom and the USA. At the same time, the World Bank's Protecting Minority Investors Index, which forms part of its Doing Business reports, has recently painted a rather opposite picture, in contrast to the positive assessment by the Centre for Business Research, by putting China in the 119th position out of 190 countries, which indicates a very mediocre performance. This article seeks to address the question of whether and how the two studies, both employing leximetric techniques and examining an ostensibly similar issue, can point to discrepant results.
Sino-African trade: A multi-layered appraisal
Huang, Flora; Yeung, Horace; University of Derby; University of Leicester (Electronic Publications, 2020-04)
There are both believers and critics on the state and potential of Sino-African trade. For example, China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is expected to benefit several African countries. At the same time, some critics refer to it as 'debt trap diplomacy' for China to politically and economically exploit the countries involved. Nearly a decade ago, China surpassed the US to become Africa's largest trading partner. Sino-African trade is now four times larger than that of US-Africa. While the importance of Sino-African trade can be seen in the scale of trade and investment, this article at the same time concerns the legal, and also some non-legal mechanisms such as BRI and the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, to take the bilateral/multilateral relations to the next level. Other than continental and country level perspectives, firm level considerations cannot be ignored. Chinese companies now dominate in certain Africa's business sectors and are rapidly expanding into new sectors. There have been concerns regarding the behaviour of certain Chinese companies in Africa. Through a multi-level analysis, the article endeavours to form a comprehensive picture of the closer than ever Sino-African trade relations.

The sociological implications for contemporary Buddhism in the UK: socially engaged Buddhism, a case study
Henry, Philip M.; University of Derby (Dickinson Blogs, 2006)
Buddhist Studies has, for well over a century, been seen by many in the academy as the domain of philologists and others whose skills are essentially in the translation and interpretation of texts derived from ancient languages like classical Chinese, Pāli, Sanskrit, and its hybrid variations, together with the commentarial tradition that developed alongside it. Only in the last thirty-five years has there been an increasing number of theses, journal articles, and other academic texts that have seriously addressed the developments of a Western Buddhism as opposed to Buddhism in the West. As Prebish (2002:66) attests, based on his own 1975 experience of teaching Buddhism in the United States, "Even a casual perusal of the most popular books used as texts in introductory courses on Buddhism at that time reveals that Western Buddhism was not included in the discipline called Buddhist Studies." Fundamentally, this paper addresses Buddhist identity in contemporary settings, and asks what it means to be Buddhist in the West today. This is the overarching theme of my doctoral research into socially engaged Buddhism in the United Kingdom, which addresses the question of how socially engaged Buddhism challenges the notion of what it means to be Buddhist in the twenty-first century.
State vs non-state armed groups - a political economy of violence
Jegede, Francis; Bampton, Kevin; Todd, Malcolm; University of Derby (Global Science and Technology Forum (GSTF 2015), 2015)
The early 21st century has witnessed the rise in violent extremism with groups such as Al Qaeda and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in the Middle East, the Boko Haram in West Africa, and Al Shabaab in East Africa. The activities of these and other non-state armed groups have created a general state of panic and fear that is spreading beyond their areas of operation to other parts of the political world. Rather than diminishing the influence of these groups, the states' counter extremism strategies seem to be further fuelling the extremism and creating new waves of violence that threatens global security and undermines the very essence of our collective wellbeing. This paper examines the socio-economic and political environment in which these armed groups have thrived and poses the question as to whether the failure of politics and development are to blame for the rise of extremism. The paper proposes a new approach to combating extremism that involves re-connecting people with politics and development. The basic contention of this paper is that there has been a failure of the state to satisfy the wellbeing of its citizens. The paper provides an explanation of, but by no means a justification of, the use of violent extremism in the early 21st century.
Stock connect: Integration, internationalisation and implementation
Huang, Flora; University of Derby (Sweet and Maxwell, 2021-09)
Stock Connect is a stock exchange collaboration between China and international bourses such as Hong Kong and London. In contrast to existing literature mostly focusing on economic analysis, this article explores the legal issues in Stock Connect and makes practical contributions by appraising the successes and failures of this scheme.
A Study Space Analysis of Interpretation Service Needs and Optimisation
Amurun, Oghene-Ovoh Tyson; University of Derby (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-12-02)
The paper reports a study space analysis (SSA) of 117 published investigations of the need for interpretation services and approaches to their optimisation. The study explores literature on the adequacy and ecological validity of interpretation service and interpretation optimisation. Research on rapport building appears to be the most investigated issue. Studies on interpretation services need and planning are infrequently researched, and there exist little or no study investigating police diversity effects on interpretation service needs and the planning effects. Studies investigating cognitive load, language, and gender effects on interpreting accuracy are sparse, with most research effort concentrated in conference interpreting settings.
Sustainable Development and the African Union Legal Order

Sustainable development has been at the centre of discourse in the African Union (AU) and its Member States in recent times. Over time, the AU has developed mechanisms on sustainable development including conventions and different policies and programmes. This chapter critically analyses these mechanisms and their possible implications on the development of sustainable development norms in Africa. This chapter argues that the various AU treaties on the environment and initiatives on sustainable development are an integral part of the emergent AU legal order on the continent. This chapter discusses the utility of the African Charter on Human and People's Right and Agenda 2063 as integral aspects of sustainable development under the AU and hence contributing to the emergent AU legal order. This chapter focuses on the contribution of the African Charter and Agenda 2063 to the development of sustainable development norms under the AU's framework.

Home Business Sunday Business & I.T. How Google fights disinformation on YouTube
How Google fights disinformation on YouTube
By NOEMI LARDIZABAL-DADO
NOEMI LARDIZABAL-DADO
The words "misinformation," "disinformation," and "fake news" mean different things to different people. Google refers to disinformation as deliberate efforts to deceive and mislead using the speed, scale and technologies of the open web. What is disturbing is several Marcos videos proliferate in YouTube which contain several fallacies which have been debunked already. One example is the order of Marcos "not to fire" at EDSA protesters when in fact there was an order to decimate mutineers on EDSA.
I got a copy of How Google Fights Disinformation from Yves Gonzales, Head of Government Affairs and Public Policy, Google Philippines to understand how disinformation is being handled. Facebook looks at inauthentic coordinated behavior of the accounts.
Subscribers or account names are not an issue in the YouTube platform if their content does not violate community guidelines. My issue is when video content is misleading or contain half-truths. In a Marcos propaganda video, a text description reads "After 25 years, it is now obvious that Cory administration is more violent with more journalist dead in her 6 years' term compared to Marcos' 20 years." Where are the facts to support this?
Google's approach to tackling disinformation in their products and services is based around a framework of three strategies: make quality count in their ranking systems, counteract malicious actors, and give users more context. They want to create a balance "between managing our users' expectations to express themselves freely on the platform with the need to preserve the health of the broader community of the creator, user, and advertiser ecosystem." They use three guiding principles:
1. Keep content on the platform unless it is in violation of our Community Guidelines
2. Set a high bar for recommendations
3. They view monetization on our platform as a privilege.
Beyond removal of content that violates their community guidelines, one of three explicit tactics used by YouTube to support responsible content consumption is to reduce recommendations of low-quality content. The Marcos propaganda video I mentioned will not be pulled out in YouTube, but it won't be listed in "recommended for you" videos. The video contains half-truths, so it is not a downright violation of their policies. What it would remove though are violations on YouTube's policies against hate and harassment. "Hate speech refers to content that promotes violence against, or has the primary purpose of inciting hatred against, individuals or groups based on certain attributes, such as race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status or sexual orientation/gender identity. Harassment may include abusive videos, comments, messages, revealing someone's personal information, unwanted sexualization, or incitement to harass other users or creators."
For example, content that claims that the Earth is flat or promises a "miracle cure" for a serious disease might not violate their Community Guidelines, but they "don't want to proactively recommend it to users". The intention is to get this right for their users. They use people as evaluators to provide input on what makes up disinformation or borderline content under their policies, which in turn informs their ranking systems.
As media consumers, flagging the half-truths or misleading content on YouTube would help evaluators to understand context. YouTube's artificial intelligence recommendation engine, the algorithm that directs what you see next based on your previous viewing habits and searches, could promote false and useless content in the pursuit of engagement. Google needs to look at their policies about misleading content. The enemy of truth is not the outright lie, because an outright lie is easy to see and expose. The enemy of truth is the half-truth lies coated in generalizations, which may have some truth in them but are meant to deceive. How do they now create a balance of freedom of expression on the platform with the need to preserve the health of the broader community? Lies interspersed with part truths fool people. The antidote: demand for specifics or provide context. Google provides users with more context (often text-based information) to make them more informed users on the content they consume. They provide information panels that contain additional contextual information and links to authoritative third-party sites so users couldmake educated decisions about the content they watch on their platform.
While most Marcos-related videos attempting to revise history are not searchable and circulate among closed groups, let's not underestimate closed spaces in niche social networks. Many of us are already using messenger apps because Facebook or Twitter could be stressful. With the popularity of closed, niche networks and group-chat apps, links to misleading content can re-posted in various groups. More work needs to be done in fighting disinformation. I commend the recent launch of #ThinkFirst campaign of Google and their partners to bring awareness and unite diverse stakeholders to promote media and information literacy in the country.

Best NFL Game Pass VPNs for 2023 – Watch Anywhere
Dennis Anon
Dennis - UPDATED: October 21, 2022
NFL Game Pass is no longer available for fans in the U.S., but you can still subscribe and watch most games by using a VPN.
If your football fever is back, you can watch most games live with NFL Game Pass. As you know, NFL rules are so arcane (and sometimes arbitrary) that the network broadcasts need to have a retired official in the booth to explain the weird happenings and decisions during many games. He usually sounds like a lawyer. The rules regarding broadcasting and streaming are equally complex.
NFL Game Pass will let you live stream most games, but excluded games vary by region. If you are in the U.S., you are entirely blocked from subscribing to the service. The NFL knows you're there because you have an IP address assigned to the U.S. NFL+, the current service for the U.S. market only lets you watch local games and replays, and only on mobile devices. You can solve those problems by using a VPN. A VPN will give you a choice of IP addresses assigned to other countries.
A VPN can also help you get the cheapest deal, because NFL Game Pass prices vary by country. The typical cost is $10/month or $80/year. Make sure the country you choose doesn't have blackout restrictions for games you can't bear to miss. This article will help you pick the best VPN for NFL Game Pass streaming.
You can start with this quick summary of the best VPNs for NFL Game Pass or skip to the more detailed explanations further down this article.
My best VPNs for NFL Game Pass:
NordVPN: My top choice for use with NFL Game Pass. Very fast, vast network that accesses streaming services around the world with ease. Includes a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee.
Surfshark: Best budget premium VPN. It's very fast, secure, and privacy-oriented. Streaming is one of its strengths.
ExpressVPN: This premium VPN has servers in 94+ countries, very fast connections, and an excellent record of accessing streaming services.
CyberGhost: The fastest VPN, making it ideal for streaming and watching your favorite NFL side play each week. Has very competitive prices.
PrivateVPN: Low-priced VPN that is also great at accessing streaming services while you're on your travels.
IPVanish: The second fastest VPN on my list is one of the few VPNs that offer phone support. Allows unlimited simultaneous connections.
Private Internet Access (PIA): Has servers in all 50 U.S. states. Especially great for privacy and security.
Atlas VPN: Bargain-priced, but full-featured VPN. Speed is among the best.
I chose VPNs that have exceptional ability to access geo-fenced content and enough speed for live HD streaming. While these two factors were arguably the most important, they weren't the only things I considered. I will go into more detail about the criteria I used later in this article, but here is a brief explanation of the other factors I considered when selecting the best VPNs for NFL Game Pass:
Numerous US servers
Consistent, high-speed connections
The ability to access NFL Game Pass and other popular platforms
Strong encryption and high-quality security features
Desktop and mobile apps
An extensive privacy policy
Best VPNs for NFL Game Pass
The following reviews explain why each of these VPNs is recommended for use with NFL Game Pass.
NordVPN is the fourth fastest VPN, according to recent tests. It works well for users in China and other countries that block VPNs. NordVPN has more than 5,600 servers throughout the world. Those assets and excellent security features make it the best all-around VPN for watching NFL Game Pass.
It can also access ESPN, FOX Sports, and other popular sports and entertainment streaming media services. NordVPN is a premium VPN service, and its prices are higher than many other VPNs, but lower than other premium VPNs, such as ExpressVPN.
As a premium VPN, NordVPN has all the standard security capabilities and more. It will block ads, pop-ups, trackers, and malware. Your team could use NordVPN on its offensive line. Additional features include split-tunneling, obfuscated servers, private DNS, DNS leak protection, and a kill switch.
NordVPN maintains a strict no-logs policy, which means that your privacy is completely protected. You can even register anonymously.
The provider makes easy-to-use apps for Windows, Android, iOS, Linux, and macOS. The company continues to earn accolades for its tech support and customer service, allowing you to connect up to six devices at the same time on one account.
Exceptional speed
Works with major streaming media services
Great privacy and security features
Works in China
Enables split-tunneling
Most VPNs are cheaper
BEST VPN FOR NFL GAME PASS:NordVPN is a superb all-around VPN. It's very fast, has extra security features, and is great for streaming. NordVPN will also give you a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee.
2. Surfshark
Surfshark is a budget premium VPN. It is the fifth fastest VPN, which is as fast as you need for streaming HD content like NFL games. Accessing streaming content is one of Surfshark's strengths.
The provider is a relatively new VPN, but already has more than 3,200 servers in 99+ countries. It also works in China and is cheaper than all the other VPNs on this list.
Surfshark allows unlimited simultaneous connections. That's great if you and your family have a lot of connected devices, but be warned that many simultaneous connections will strain your bandwidth while you're watching games.
Surfshark has a plethora of security and privacy features. It blocks ads and trackers and includes a browser plug-in that blocks those obnoxious cookie-notice pop-ups. Surfshark's extra features include obfuscated servers and private DNS. The apps also have kill switches and a feature called "Bypasser." Although those features sound like football strategies, they enhance your online security.
The provider's customer support is always available via 24/7 live chat should you have any questions. A searchable support library and an FAQ section, as well as a support contact form, are also available.
Low prices with a 24-month plan
Accesses all major streaming media services
Bonus security and privacy features
Unlimited connections
Users complain that Surfshark makes canceling the service too difficult
BEST BUDGET VPN:Surfshark gives you a tremendous amount of features and benefits for a low price. It offers everything you need to use NFL Game Pass. Comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
ExpressVPN is the third fastest VPN and the VPN equivalent to luxury boxes. It is a premium VPN service and it has a premium price. ExpressVPN has servers in almost 100 countries, which makes it ideal for people who want to stream football games almost anywhere in the world.
The provider is very good at accessing streaming media services and countries with heavy geo-restrictions. Major VPNs like ExpressVPN and NordVPN have the resources to quickly develop workarounds if a streaming service like NFL Game Pass becomes successful at blocking other VPNs.
ExpressVPN has outstanding security capabilities and blocks trackers. It does not keep activity or connection logs and uses its own encrypted DNS on every server. ExpressVPN makes apps for every type of device.
Customer relations are an asset. However, some privacy and security advocates are concerned that ExpressVPN is now owned by Kape Technologies, a company with a disreputable history. Despite this, ExpressVPN's privacy and security capabilities remain on par with the best VPNs.
Price is the only major concern with ExpressVPN. The choice is like paying a fortune for Aaron Rodgers or gambling on the budget-priced Trey Lance. Connect up to five devices simultaneously.
Vast server network
Good at accessing streaming media services
Prices are much higher than average
Owned by Kape Technologies
BEST PREMIUM VPN:ExpressVPN excels in speed, security, features, and customer service. It has servers close to most of the world's population, so you can connect no matter where you are. Comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
CyberGhost is the Raheem Mostert of VPNs. It is the fastest VPN. Because of its speed and unblocking ability, CyberGhost is good for use with media-streaming services in general, such as NFL Game Pass, but won't access all of them. To prevent buffering and other woes that can interfere with streaming, CyberGhost lets you use dedicated streaming servers.
The provider has a network of more than 9,000 servers in 90+ countries. If you plan to visit a country with a repressive government, be aware that CyberGhost isn't able to access content in countries like China, UAE, or Saudi Arabia, as some of the other top VPNs are.
CyberGhost's second-best asset is price. Its privacy and security capabilities are also solid: it blocks ads and malware, and has a kill switch, leak protection, and automatic WiFi protection. It does not log your activity.
Apps for Windows, Android, macOS, iOS, and Linux are simple and easy to use. It's a good choice for first-time VPN users for that reason.
Customer support is available in the form of 24/7 live chat, a trouble ticket submission system, and an easy-to-search knowledge base.
Fastest speeds
Dedicated streaming servers
Very good price for the three-year plan
Highly satisfied customers
Little or no service in China or UAE
Won't access all streaming services
FASTEST VPN FOR NFL GAME PASS:CyberGhost's exceptional speed and dedicated servers make its service ideal for streaming video. Customer satisfaction is very high. A 45-day money-back guarantee is included.
5. PrivateVPN
PrivateVPN is the Tyreek Hill of VPNs: it's small, but very fast. It's also cheap and if you're willing to commit to three years of service, it's like locking up a rising star with a long-term deal.
The provider has 200+ servers and just a dozen in the U.S., but they are well-scattered among NFL cities. PrivateVPN was just acquired by a Swedish company in June. That may bode well for continued rapid growth.
PrivateVPN works with NFL Game Pass and all the other major streaming services.
It has very good security capabilities and privacy policies, but it lacks some of the extra security features that premium VPNs give you, and it has not yet adopted the WireGuard protocol.
Apps for the four major operating systems are easy to use. PrivateVPN now allows 10 simultaneous connections.
If you want speed and size, NordVPN is the D.K. Metcalf of VPNs. Where PrivateVPN shines is in customer satisfaction, and they have a reliable and friendly customer support team ready to answer any questions you may have.
Works with all major streaming services
Great price for the three-year plan
Great security features
Free trial period
Its small size and limited number of servers will be a disadvantage for some users
New ownership could raise prices or make other unwanted changes
RELIABLE AND SPEEDY VPN:PrivateVPN is great for streaming and is always reliable. Comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee for added peace of mind.
6. IPVanish
IPVanish is CyberGhost's closest rival in speed. It has worked with NFL Game Pass, but isn't effective at overcoming VPN blocks from some of the other popular streaming media services. However, the most notable feature of IPVanish's home page is large photos of people watching live streams of football, baseball, soccer, and boxing.
The provider's prices are ordinary, but the VPN is now touting included protection against malware and ransomware. IPVanish allows unlimited simultaneous connections and has also recently upgraded to the WireGuard connection protocol. That will increase both speed and security.
IPVanish operates a network of more than 2,000 servers in over 75 locations. Our higher-rated VPNs have bigger networks, but IPVanish's network is big enough for most people to find fast connections.
Apps are minimalist and easy to use. Privacy and security are solid.
Great speed
Works with Kodi
Doesn't access Amazon Prime and some other popular streaming services
EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SUPPORT:IPVanish is very fast, easy to use, and provides exceptional support. You can simultaneously connect all your family's devices. Comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
7. Private Internet Access
Private Internet Access (PIA) is among the 10 fastest VPNs, but considerably slower than the fastest ones. Although it works with NFL Game Pass, PIA is generally less successful at overcoming geo-restricted content from streaming media sites than other VPNs.
However, PIA has two exceptional strengths. It operates servers in all 50 states, and more than 3,300 servers throughout the world. You should easily be able to get a fast connection anywhere in the U.S.
PIA's other great virtue is exceptional privacy and security features and the ability to customize them. Privacy features include no usage logs and anonymous payment methods. RAM-only servers can't save data, so no traces of your web use can be recorded. The MultiHop feature routes traffic through several servers at the same time. Security features include ad, tracker, and malware blocking; kill switches; split-tunneling; the WireGuard connection protocol; and private DNS.
PIA's customer support offers a live chat option, a trouble ticket system, and a searchable support library.
Excellent privacy and security features
Fast enough for live HD streaming
Servers in all 50 U.S. states
Subpar support content on website
Customer relations need improvement
GREAT FOR DOMESTIC TRAVELERS:Private Internet Access has servers in all 50 U.S. states. Excellent privacy and security features. Comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
8. Atlas VPN
Atlas VPN is another newcomer that is already establishing itself as one of the best VPNs. It is also one of the cheapest.
Its speed is among the best and it works with all major streaming services, NFL Game Pass included. It's also great for torrenting. It does not work in China.
The company was recently acquired by Nord Security, the developer of NordVPN. It has shortcomings when compared with its step-sibling, but Atlas VPN is full-featured with a no-logs policy, malware and ad blocking, WireGuard connection protocol, tracker blocking, split tunneling, a private DNS, unlimited simultaneous connections, and a kill switch.
If you're a Titans fan, Atlas might seem like the best choice, but it is suffering growing pains. Customer service is one area that needs improvement. A big issue is that Atlas VPN makes cancellation during the trial period almost impossible. That type of issue is likely to be overcome, and the support of Nord Security should help.
Excellent fast speeds
Will not work with Linux, Chrome OS, or older versions of Windows (pre-Windows 10)
Customer relations are poor
Relatively small network
GOOD SECURITY AND PRIVACY:Atlas VPN takes your privacy online seriously and is also very affordable. You get a lot for the price, but customer relations are a concern. Includes a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Methodology: Choosing the best VPNs for NFL Game Pass
The same criteria I would use to pick the best general VPNs apply to picking the best VPNs for NFL Game Pass. The difference is that speed, unblocking ability, and the number of server locations are weighted much more heavily. These are the key criteria:
Performance (speed): Using a VPN will cause some amount of slowing compared to a direct connection to the internet. The best VPNs have negligible speed loss. Slower speeds can cause buffering, lag, or low-resolution video, which is especially undesirable for watching live sports. The VPNs recommended in this article are fast enough for live HD broadcasts.
Unblocking ability: NFL Game Pass and other streaming services try to prevent VPN users from accessing it, so the ability to overcome those blocks is as important as having a good defensive line. The ability to access geo-restricted content is also essential if you want to watch games while you are in China or another country with restrictions.
Server locations: NFL Game Pass is not available in the United States and some other countries. If you are far from a VPNs nearest server, your connection will be slower. More servers increase your chances of a fast connection.
Security and privacy: Your internet use isn't limited to watching NFL games. The best VPNs have a full complement of security features, including 256-bit encryption, leak protection, kill switches in all apps, and split tunneling. Many of them also block malware, ads, and trackers. Some give you even more features to enhance security and privacy. For privacy, an unequivocal no-logs policy is essential.
Value: VPNs constantly run promotions and try to make their prices difficult to compare with their competitors. I do the math and understand the market, so I know the difference between good and bad deals.
Customer relations: Tech support, customer service, responsiveness, good websites, and communication methods are all a big deal. You must be able to get the help you need and get your problems solved. I evaluate all those factors and read user reviews to compare how VPNs treat their customers.
You can find out even more information about the testing methodology I use here.
How do I access NFL Game Pass with a VPN?
Follow these simple steps to access NFL Game Pass with a VPN:
Sign up for NordVPN or one of the other VPNs recommended in this article.
Download and install the appropriate VPN software for your operating system (Windows, Android, etc.)
Using the VPN, connect to a server in the virtual country you plan to use for NFL Game Pass.
Sign up for NFL Game Pass from that virtual country.
Log in to NFL Game Pass and test it. If it works, you're set for the rest of the season. If not, try connecting from another server location.
NFL Streaming Game Pass FAQs
Can I watch NFL Game Pass with a free VPN?
Some free VPNs do allow you to access streaming services, but free VPNs are generally too slow for streaming. Some limit you to very low-quality video and allow too many users per server, which causes traffic jams with slowing.
Free VPNs also pose a bunch of security risks. Many track you and sell your information, financing the service by infecting your devices with malware.
If you're going through the expense of paying for NFL Game Pass, the ability to watch games without buffering or periodic connection drops is worth a little more of your money. That is why I recommend you choose one of the VPNs from my list. You can also find out more information about my other cheap VPN alternatives.
When are the big games?
With the expanded regular season, the games don't end until January 8, 2023. The playoffs start the following Saturday, January 14. Super Bowl LVII will be played on February 12 in Arizona.
What can you watch with NFL Game Pass?
In addition to the regular and postseason games that are available for the location you chose, you can watch replays, NFL RedZone, and the 24-hour channel, NFL Network. You can also watch Good Morning Football, NFL Total Access, Hard Knocks, and A Football Life.
Would "The Surfsharks" be a great name for an NFL team in Hawaii?
Yes, and when the old Houston Oilers moved to Tennessee, the person who suggested renaming the team "The Dueling Banjos" had a much better idea than whoever settled on calling them the Titans.

Home Anti-gun Ebola kills by simply possessing it. A gun does not.
Ebola kills by simply possessing it. A gun does not.
For those of you most likely not familiar with MSNBC – it's a cable "news" channel – you most certainly missed their most recent claim that the Democratically-controlled Senate's unwillingness to approve President Barack Obama's 2013 anti-gun nomination for U.S. Surgeon General, Vivek Murthy, was the NRA's fault, thus making the Ebola outbreak also the NRA's fault as a result. We know: stupid. But why aren't Senate Democrats forcing this? Why isn't the spineless Harry Reid pushing this?
What is the one (and probably only) thing that "scares" any elected Congressman? That's right: NOT getting reelected! And what would cause a Congressman to not be reelected? Voters voting against them. Why would a voter vote against a Congressman? Because the Congressman made decisions in office that worked against his or her voters or did not reflect the views of their voting constituents. So this means that Congressmen – Democratic and Republican Senators in this case – do not want to confirm President Obama's nomination of the anti-gun Vivek Murthy for Surgeon General because they know that their voting constituents are adamantly against this ridiculous political appointment and would bounce these Congressmen out on their tails if they supported the nomination.
It's not the NRA that the Congressmen are afraid of; it's their own voters! The NRA simply makes the information available to likely voters to make a more educated vote, which makes them the enemy in the eyes of those seeking to further hammer through gun control in the United States.
And you may be wondering what makes Vivek Murthy anti-gun. Among other things, he believes that guns can impact Americans' health. Much like a car, a hammer, a baseball bat, or a rolled up pamphlet from a Democratic convention could impact our health. Guns are not a healthcare issue. Do not allow the gun control wackos of America to directly or indirectly force guns out of your home in order to get cheaper or more adequate healthcare.
The growing Ebola crisis has nothing to do with the NRA. Any human smart enough not to rub their own feces into his or her own hair knows this. But once again we find the liberal media looking to blame someone else for the Obama administration blowing something off as significant as the deadly Ebola virus – which coincidently does kill a person if they simply possess it. Unlike a gun.

"MAXimum Comfort, MAXimum Efficiency": United Details Initial 737 MAX 9 Plans
Cover image courtesy of Boeing.
Hi everybody, I would like to start off by apologizing for the extremely late post. As you might already know, the past two weeks was the end-of-trimester assessment period, meaning that I had little time to spend outside of studying for exams. However, exams ended today, and I hope to be back on a regular posting schedule soon.
A couple of weeks ago, United Airlines announced the first routes for its brand-new Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft. These innovative next-generation aircraft, compared to their 737NG counterparts, feature new CFM LEAP-1B engines, as well as other aerodynamic enhancements to offer a substantial increase in fuel economy. United has configured their 737 MAX 9s with the same number of seats (179) compared to most of their 737-900ERs, but one row of economy is removed in favor of another row of extra-legroom Economy Plus. Thus, the overall configuration will be 20 first class seats in a 2-2 configuration, 48 Economy Plus seats in a 3-3 configuration, and 111 Economy seats in a 3-3 configuration. The seats will be B/E Aerospace Meridians with tablet holders, similar to what American Airlines offers on their 737 MAX 8 but likely with slightly more seat pitch as United does not seek to further densify an already cramped plane. Based on United's press release, I suspect the new first class will be the same PriestmanGoode seat as the first class seats on the Airbus A320/A319 and 737-700 fleets.
United has released their first routes for the new 737 MAX 9. It looks like the initial frames will be based in Houston, with some being based in Los Angeles as well. Eventually though, all hubs will likely be the bases for some of these aircraft, as United has 61 such frames on order. Here's the initial schedule:
Are you excited to be flying United's new 737 MAX?
737 MAX 9
