A trade war is a back and forth dispute where a country imposes tariffs on certain imports in order to restrict trade. In response, the country or countries affected by those tariffs impose their own fees on imports. So simply trade war can be called as the tariffs with fees or taxes assessed on certain product when imported into a country. The 2018 China-United States trade war also known as the Trump trade war is an ongoing trade war between China and the United States which Trump, the current US president, promised in his campaign to fix China's longtime abuse of the broken international system and unfair practices. Each country has introduced tariffs on goods traded with the other. Starting in April 2018, the US imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from China, as well as Canada and countries in the European Union. The tariffs also aim to push back against China's demands for the technology transfers from US companies in return for access to china's market. The effects of this were that Chinese currency depreciated 4.3 percent against the dollar. This is natural market reaction to the US projection. Over the same period, the dollar has appreciated about 5 percent against a basket of major currencies. President Trump asked the United States Trade Representative (USTR) investigate applying tariffs on US$50 billion worth of Chinese goods, which he estimated would affect about $60 billions of Chinese imports. President Trump asked the United States Trade Representative (USTR) investigate applying tariffs on US$50 billion worth of Chinese goods, which he estimated would affect about $60 billions of Chinese imports. So, on 6th September China stated that it will take countermeasures if the US imposes tariffs on USD 200 billion worth of Chinese products, recently in Beijing they repeated how the tough stance in the trade war despite the growing impact it is having on its own economy.
Much of what the US imports from China contains value created in other locations that includes America. Much of the value in an iPhone imported from China, for example an iPhone gets its display from South Korea, its Chips from Japan and the programming is done in the US, so each dollar of sales lost by a Chinese company actually has a less than 1-dollar impact on the Chinese economy. In computers and electronics, which accounts for the largest share of China's exports to the US, the Chinese value added in each dollar of imports is about 50 cents. Consequently, the negative effects of tariffs on the Chinese manufacturing is unlikely to be large enough to have an impact on China's trade practices.
Let's take Apple has a whole company and see how it affect them in the trade war. Apple's dealing with China are extensive, both in manufacturing and in sales of its flagship products. Of Apple's $247.5 billion in revenue over the last twelve months 18% originated in mainland China, making it the second- largest market for Apple's products. The country also serves Apple's primary manufacturing base, all of the companies' hardware products are currently manufactured by outsourcing partners that are located primarily in Asia, with some Mac computers manufactured in the US and Ireland. A lion's share of the world's iPhone is assembled at a single Foxconn plant in Zhengzhou in the central part of China, but we always see "Designed in California, assembled in China" inscribed on the back of each device. Apple is said to have created and supported 4.8 million jobs in China including 1.8 million iOS app developers and other iOS ecosystem-related jobs there, in addition to more than 12000 direct employees in the country. The Chinese mainland alone is the world's largest market for the iPhone, Apple's flagship product that made up 62 percent of the company's total revenue in the past financial year. Substantially all of its hardware products are currently manufactured by outsourcing partners that are located primarily in Asia. So for a company that is so depend on the Chinese market will have a huge dent and will suffer a huge loss if the trade war takes place, According to reports President Trump had offered to exempt Apple's and iPhone's tariffs in a meeting with the CEO of Apple (Tim Cook) to justify the arguments of an anonymous source familiar with the talks anyhow the White House later denied any knowledge of the conversation, this shows us that President is not sure what to do with the big companies who are so dependent on the Chinese market. And now the numbers are not looking good for the President who has made reducing of the US trade deficit one of his main economic goals.
Now sighs are emerging that President Trump's trade war are starting to hit economic growth, not just in US but all around the world, new data shows us that US trade deficit in July is widening at its fastest rate since 2015 as monthly deficits China and the European Union both hit new records. In the year so far, the US's overall goods and services deficits is up by $22 billion or 7% compared to the same period last year. The numbers coincide with Trump's moves escalates his battles with China and efforts to badger Canada into sighing on to a New North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), highlighting what economists have argued is the incongruity of his trade policies. Even as he launches his battles in the name of reducing the US's imbalances, he has been causing the overall deficit to grow by increasing public spending and encouraging domestic investments. Also apparent in the trade data are some of the distortions that Trump's policies have been fueling and how they may be helping mask the long-term impact of his trade wars. While soybean farmers are widely seen as one of the likely Victims of the trade war China, for example a surge in exports of Soybeans to get ahead of new tariffs helped boost US GDP growth in the second quarter. In the first seven months of this year, the value of US soybean exports actually increased by more than 40% or $5.7 billion compared to the same period last year. Those distortions are likely to be temporary and this is why many economists believe US GDP growth may have peaked at 4.2% in the second quarter, with trade likely to be a drag on growth in the months to come. The effects of trade are unlikely to be restricted to only US and China, due to this other country will also find a change in the dynamics of their economy. Like the basic principles of economics that is supply and demand will once again come to a play. The shortage of supply of goods, either finished material or raw, will increase the final consumption price for the consumers. Moreover, the burden of increased tax from the duties will also borne by the final user. India also gets affected by the trade war for example the Rupee value has dropped to an all-time low, when in some occasions it was hovering around the mid 68s against the US dollar. This coincided with Trump's threat of imposing a fresh round of tariffs on exports worth $200 billion. This trend can weaken the US dollar, which automatically creates a negative impact on the trade deficit of India, causing a chain reaction of sorts. The stock market also saw a significant drop in this period, as of now the Sensex is trading at about 37.5 which is below the average. As the US imposed duties on steel and aluminum, India now has to pay approx. $241 million worth of tax to the US. India on the other hand as a counter-measure has proposed imposing duties on different types of goods. This will ensure that the US has to pay about $238 million as duties to India. This will surely make life difficult for the end consumers as everything that falls under the tariffs scanner is expected to become more expensive.
All the countries have to play a significant role by keeping their business environment stable. Their strategic plans could prove to be crucial and hence there is a need for different plans suitable to different economic environments. The world is witnessing an unprecedented trend of synchronous growth, a growth which is dynamic in nature. So, there is a necessity for preparedness for all types of eventualities, as on the trade war does not materialize the possibilities of tremendous growth in the economic world.
I would like to conclude by saying this trade war is affecting a lot of businesses which is affecting in their own economic growth. If a trillion-dollar company as Apple can be affected by this think about the smaller companies and a consequences they would have to face. No country will sustain or gain anything if the trade war takes place. It might be a temporary thing right now because of the US President Trump but everyone should have their plans accordingly for them not to suffer any problems in the future.

They told her to make a demo. She made one of techhouse & one of techno and send it to some organizers from the festivals. In december 2019 on her dad's birthday she received her first announcement for a gig at a large indoor event. That usually started on April 4th 2020.
On New Years Eve she went to a private party to play there as a dj. She was not on the line up here. But she drew almost all the audience from the other area. And the dj's from the other area who where mentioned in the line up ask her to stop spinning. But she goes on and the rest is history.
With her recognizable fresh sound with sometimes a deep flow, she managed to get hold of the audience.
She likes to make the audience feel the music. Every beat in any track should be made to feel danceable.

Motor News Media test-drives the 2015 Volvo S60 sedan.
Volvo has kept the pedal to the metal for 2015 following last year's major styling revisions with new drivetrain hardware. The Swedish automaker has taken the wraps off of its new Drive-E powertrain technology with an all-new engine family and new transmission that delivers enhanced fuel economy, reduced emissions and increased driving pleasure.
The 2015 Volvo S60 sedan is offered in T5 Drive-E, T5 AWD, T6 Drive-E, and T6 R-Design AWD models with Base, Premier and Platinum trim levels.
Volvo's new engine family was developed in-house at Volvo's R&D department in Sweden with two versions of the innovative Drive-E 2.0L four-cylinder engine making their debut for 2015 on front-wheel-drive S60 models. The new class-leading S60 T5 Drive-E features a turbocharger and direct-injection. The T6 Drive-E employs both a turbocharger and a supercharger for the 2.0L engine for increased engine output. The mechanically linked supercharger starts to function immediately at low revs while the turbocharger kicks in when airflow builds up. This combination provides seamless power delivery that feel like a larger, naturally-aspirated engine with the benefits of greater fuel efficiency and reduced weight.
An all-new standard eight-speed "Geartronic" automatic transmission contributes to the increased efficiency of this new engine family. Quiet, smooth shifts help to reduce noise at higher speeds while additional gears allow these engines to operate at peak efficiency for optimal performance and maximum efficiency. Also new is the start/stop feature, which automatically stops the engine when the vehicle comes to a stop. The engine restarts when the driver releases the brake pedal.
The third component of Drive-E is new ECO+ fuel-saving technology designed to optimize shift points, engine control and throttle response. When activated by the driver, ECO+ can improve fuel economy by five percent depending on driving style, temperature and climate.
The midrange S60 T5 AWD is designed for those seeking the all-weather advantage of Volvo's signature All-Wheel Drive with Instant Traction. This model's standard 2.5L turbocharged five-cylinder engine is teamed with a six-speed "Geartronic" automatic transmission.
Volvo's standard All-Wheel Drive with Instant Traction provides the best possible grip in all situations - on wet, slippery or completely dry roads. The advanced Haldex AWD system delivers power to the wheels with the best grip. When a tire loses traction, power is reduced to that wheel and instantly transferred to the more sure-footed wheels.
The T6 R-Design is regarded by many as the ultimate performance S60. With the most powerful six-cylinder currently offered by Volvo, the R-Design's 3.0L turbocharged engine is fitted with standard All-Wheel Drive with Instant Traction plus Corner Traction Control with torque vectoring.
The R-Design's standard Sport Chassis continues to take it to the next level of performance. Volvo's chassis team fitted a strut brace under the hood that links the suspension strut towers to improve steering response. Front springs are shortened by 15 mm to give it more visual attitude. At the rear, monotube dampers feature compression and return damping via the same valve for shorter, faster fluid flow allowing the damper to respond more quickly.
Inside the passenger cabin, Scandinavian design is exemplified by beautiful, simple shapes and surfaces with any unnecessary clutter removed. This is reflected inside by the attention to detail, authentic materials such as wood and leather, and the easy to use controls that contributes to the in-command driving experience.
Instrument clusters help the driver stay informed of the S60's dynamic capabilities. The base T5 features a contemporary analog cluster. An adaptive digital display is standard on T5 Premier and Platinum trim levels plus all T6 and R-Design models. The easy-to-read Thin Film Transistor (TFT) design allows drivers to select from three different themes: Elegance, Eco and Performance.
Volvo's long-standing tradition for providing supportive and comfortable seats to help reduce fatigue on long drives continues with sport seats, standard on T6 and available on T5. As the perfect addition to the in-command feel of a true driver's car, these seats provide added side support from the thighs to the shoulders to help keep the driver firmly in position in quick corners.
Inside the R-Design, the driver and front passenger sit in sport seats in which the highly supportive backrest is matched with a unique seat cushion with deeper side bolsters. The exclusive standard upholstery is Off-Black leather with contrasting stitching and sport-oriented texture accents with embossed R-Design logo across the front-seat backrests. The interior also features an R-Design sport steering wheel, gear selector, sport pedals, floor mats and adaptive digital display with R-Design graphics.
Engine: 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder (T5 Drive-E) – 240 hp at 5,600 rpm and 258 lbs-ft of torque at 1,500-4,800 rpm, (T6 Drive-E) – 302 hp at 5,700 rpm and 295 lbs-ft of torque at 1,800-5,500 rpm; 2.5L turbocharged five-cylinder – 250 hp at 5,400 rpm and 266 lbs-ft of torque at 1,800-2,400 rpm; 3.0L turbocharged six-cylinder – 325 hp at 5,600 rpm and 354 lbs-ft of torque at 2,100 – 4,200 rpm.

You ask what makes all of this so special? I really don't know what special means – our approach is just very open, transparent, carefree, and without fear – we are not afraid to chase wild product ideas that are a real pain to complete … these are the type of projects that really excite us and I think that's why we've been able to come out with some unique concepts that are genuine innovations in the Indian market.
How did you go about building up the team?
I got back to India in 2010 after being way for a few years, and two days later opened up the office. I didn't have any network here and at that time my only friend was the yellow pages. I remember looking for HR consultancies and then speaking with a bunch sharing the type of person I was looking to hire. I was very clear that I wanted a young team and I preferred freshers who were inexperienced but had a set of balls. No one really gave me a break when I got out of college, no one believed in me. If someone doesn't take that first step of faith in a person, that person can never begin. So this was my way to give people that chance, and also to prove that a company can be built with a team of young kids who may not have any experience but have guts, determination, and who dare to dream.
A few days later Ameya came in for an interview, 21 and fresh out of college. He was virgin enough to get carried away with my vision – so he came on board. Since then, we've built the team slowly and pretty much all those who've joined have been right out of college with Unived as their first job.
Everyone who joined in the early days is still at Unived – and I doubt they will ever leave.
Tell us some of your challenges that you faced?
Oh man, tons. It has been a very long and hard journey, and will continue to be. Unived is an ant trying to climb a big mountain, the effort is hard, rewards come in small crumbs, and the fact that we can be crushed anytime continues to remain a reality.
When you're against the tide, every step is a challenge.
Can you give us some tips to deal with the summer heat?
Get a glass of water, throw in a bunch of ice, and keep yourself hydrated.
If a cyclist is looking for products, which products would be a must for pre, during and post ride?
Selecting the right nutrition for your ride depends on a lot of factors. One needs to consider the duration of the ride, the intensity planned, weather conditions, previous nights meals, present physical condition, and a lot more – to get the 'optimal' fueling plan in place. This comes with experience and a lot of trial & error.
The RRUNN Pre-During-Post system has been built to cater to the three distinct physiological requirements of the body. Pre gives you instant and sustained energy so you start strong and continue long. During, rehydrates you and gives you added endurance while facilitating fluid uptake and protecting you on a cellular level from heat & humidity. Post is the scientifically proven 4:1 carb:protein formulation with some phytonutrients like Curcumin and Ashwagandha – to give you a complete system recovery. Post-exercise recovery is one of the most crucial components for an athlete – and the one that is most neglected.
We also have salt capsules, Endurance Gels, and other supportive products like Algae Calcium, Plant-Based Vitamin D3, and Plant Based Protein.
Any products you would want to suggest cyclist?
I would recommend going through our sports nutrition products on our site. Each product can contribute towards better performance and recovery. Just like we go through different types of training during the week – it is important for the person to try the various products and to understand the true potential of the product and then make an informed decision on what should be used and when.

Q: JavaScript Radio Toggle Show Different Form Fields Based on Checked So I'm trying to display certain fields based on the radio that's selected and I feel like I'm close but it's not working and I'm not getting errors.
So I defined all the DOM elements, set change event listeners, and I'm calling them down. I also set a default of display: none on a class that works.

const intSelect = document.querySelector('#internal_form');
const extSelect = document.querySelector('#external_url');
const intForm = document.querySelector('.internal_form');
const extForm = document.querySelector('.external_form');

function show() {
  intSelect.addEventListener('change', showOne);
  extSelect.addEventListener('change', showOne);
}

let showOne = event => {
  event.preventDefault();
  showTheThings(event.currentTarget, intForm, extForm);
}

let showTheThings = (target, div) => {
  if (target.checked = true) {
    div.classList.remove('hide');
  } else {
    div.classList.add('hide');
    div.querySelectorAll('input[type="radio"]').forEach(function(el) {
      el.checked = false;
    });
  }
};
.external_form.hide,
.internal_form.hide{
display: none;
}
<form>

    Method

      <input class="trigger form-check-input" type="radio" value="Internal Form" name="event[registration]" id="internal_form">
      Internal Form
      <input class="trigger form-check-input" type="radio" value="External URL" name="event[registration]" id="external_url">
      Internal Form

Internal

External

</form>

However nothing is happening. Though when I test in my browser it will apply the change on the intSelect but will not remove when clicking on extSelect (weird how it's not working here).
I've also tried very generic JS with something like:
function show(){
 if (intSelect.checked =true) {
  intForm.classList.remove('hide');
 } else {
  intForm.classList.add('hide');
 };
}

This again works just on removing the class but not triggering the add.
What am I missing here?

A: So trying out your code locally, I made a couple of changes.
First was to make show function as a self-calling function so that the event listener will be attached on the radio buttons as soon as the page is loaded.
(function show() {
    intSelect.addEventListener("click", showOne);
    extSelect.addEventListener("click", showOne);
})();

Also, you should make sure that the script is loaded when the html/DOM is loaded by adding the script tag at the end of the body tag of the HTML.
body>
    <form>

            Method

                <input class="trigger form-check-input" type="radio" value="Internal Form" name="event[registration]"
                    id="internal_form">
                Internal Form
                <input class="trigger form-check-input" type="radio" value="External URL" name="event[registration]"
                    id="external_url">
                External Form

Internal

External

    </form>

So, now your js looks like this:
const intSelect = document.querySelector("#internal_form");
const extSelect = document.querySelector("#external_url");
const intForm = document.querySelector(".internal_form");
const extForm = document.querySelector(".external_form");

(function show() {
    intSelect.addEventListener("click", showOne);
    extSelect.addEventListener("click", showOne);
})();

function showOne(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    showTheThings(event.currentTarget, intForm, extForm);
}

function showTheThings(target, div) {
    if ((target.checked = true)) {
        div.classList.remove("hide");
    } else {
        div.classList.add("hide");
        div.querySelectorAll('input[type="radio"]').forEach(function(el) {
            el.checked = false;
        });
    }
}

I hope this helps.

A: Here is the simple code using the ID , And by add and removing class
<!DOCTYPE html>

<form>

    Method

      <input class="trigger form-check-input" type="radio" value="Internal Form" name="event[registration]" id="internal_url">
      Internal Form
      <input class="trigger form-check-input" type="radio" value="External URL" name="event[registration]" id="external_url">
      external Form

Internal

External

</form>

Code is simple and by looking it , you will get understand . If you have any doubt , feel free to ask anytime .

What would U do? A friend told me about a situation and it got me thinking what would I do. She was on a "date" meeting an on-line guy for 1st time. She immediately felt NO chemistry, across the room a man was starring at her they exchanged glances. She felt sparks. She didnt want to be rude to the man she was with. She kept her eye contact with the other man when her date wasnt looking who was continually starring at her.She said left and asked me if she should have walked by the other guy and dropped her card off since she never intended to see her date again. Should she have given her number?
How would this woman look to the guy she was interested in if she gave him her number while on a date with another guy? NO CLASS!
What kind of guy would WANT to date someone who gave him her number while she was on a date with another guy?
I agree, if it is meant to be, another opportunity would present its-self.
When you commit to a first date, it is your responsibility to follow thru on that commitment.
The other guy.... well... he may not be single, and if he were, wouldn't he wonder if she would do this to him if they ever ended up seeing eachother again and making a date??? Maybe.
Too bad she was on a date!
I can see why some people right as anonoymous. This person writing about a friend may be writing about themselves and seeing comments such as "no class" could be hurtful.
Sometimes we don't know the appropriate thing to do and we are all growing and learning individuals.
If it was destant to be they shall cross paths again.
I wouldn't give my number either. If it's meant to be...it will work out. He'll show up again. And Daph is right...how does that make you look as a person. Very tacky.
It was my friend not me that went on the date, she isnt familiar with your website and I wanted her to see all the answers to her question since my answer back to her didnt seem to be what she wanted to hear.
Another way to look at it is life is short she could have been honest with her date and said youre a nice man just not for me, Im going to stay here alone for a bit. THen she could have been honest with the other man and said it was an internet date, do I know you - I was wondering by the way you were starring at me. Who knows it could have been a wonderful story on how "they met".

Marxes in the Sky - Harpo, 23 November 1888
This chartwheel was created using Halloran Software's Astrology for Windows, available as shareware at www.halloran.com.

Harpo (Arthur) Marx
November 23, 1888, New York City
Interpretation by Kathy Biehl
This interpretation uses the birthdate and place given in the Marx Brothers Encyclopedia. The chart was run with the sun on the ascendant, to avoid the problem of not having an exact birth time, and as a result I'm not making any conclusions about the ascendant. The planets and signs are:

The preponderance of planets in fire and mutable signs gives the chart a Sagittarius overlay, underscoring the Sun's placement in Sagittarius..
This chart shows a generally optimistic, independent person with a need to do things his way rather than follow established rules (accompanied by the innate ability to get away with it), and a sensitive emotional nature with the potential for giving and receiving nurturing.
Sun in Sagittarius usually indicates a personality that's a little hard to pin down. It can be warm, impulsive, freedom-loving, prone to broad humor and pranks, generous-hearted, athletic and playful, but it's also incredibly changeable. All of this goes double-strength in Harpo's chart because the ruler of Sagittarius, Jupiter, is in the sign as well. He probably had a great laugh; Sags can laugh so hard and cathartically that they wind up in incoherent spasms and tears. He would have been a great party guest; with all the Sag he knew how to amuse himself and other people, and could convey an air of not taking anything too seriously.
The Sag spectrum has room for more than just happy clowns; it also embraces phenomenally rigid thinking, like political and religious dogmatism. The negative expression of Sagittarius is equating your view of reality or a particular situation with absolute, unshakeable Truth. Even the most easy-going Sags exhibit this now and again. With a Neptune/Pluto conjunction opposing (in a stress aspect to) his sun, Harpo would have been prone to this himself, particularly if something challenged his personal life philosophy. (The incident that comes to mind is steadfastly standing by Chico when his daughter Maxine complained about his neglect and unleashing a furious lecture about the importance of family loyalty.) He was not a person to cross, and his will (when he cared enough about something to flex it) would have been almost impossible to override.
The same planetary configuration gave Harpo a charisma bordering on the otherworldly. Pluto's presence in the opposition injected an intense, piercing, seductive, dangerous quality behind the happy-go-lucky fascade. Pluto would also have given him the ability to mask his face completely, so that it gave no hint whatsoever of what was going on inside him. (Think of the ending of "Animal Crackers," when he is equally impassive to the policeman's lecture, his brothers' commentary and the silverware tumbling from his clothes. I challenge you to find a more uncommunicative blank-eyed stare than Harpo's.) Softening the harshness of Pluto, Neptune added the sense of being untainted by whatever he encountered or experienced, no matter how sordid (and, next to Pluto, he would have been inclined to wander through experiences many people couldn't handle.)
The rock-solid personal power this configuration conveys would have enabled Harpo to deal with the most difficult and troubled of people, and would have magnetized them to him. He innately understood them, because he innately understood the depths and the heights of human existence. Since the Neptune/Pluto conjunction trines his moon in hypermaternal Cancer, a part of him would have actually wanted to take care of this sort of people — which explains allowing the prickly Oscar Levant to move in for a protracted period.
The ethereal charisma suited Harpo for the stage, particularly once he stopped trying to fit into established traditions. Because of the sun/Neptune contact, playing make-believe would have been second nature for him. Because of the Neptune/Pluto contact, the charisma also translated into films, which are associated with Neptune.
His innate knack for unpredictability and shock value is shown by Uranus (an influence of rebelliousness and unconventionality) squaring, or in stress aspect to, Mars (which shows what type of energy a person has and how he uses it.) That would have been a crowd-pleaser, too; no one would have been quite sure what he would do, except that it probably wouldn't match convention (shown by Uranus sextiling, or in harmonious aspect to, Saturn, which represents authority and obligations).
He had his own set of internal brakes, though. He would not have been prone to do anything so extreme as to damage his position, obligations or responsibilities, nor to cause anyone serious harm, at least not intentionally. (Because of the sun/Neptune/Pluto contact, he may have thought, superstitiously, that he did cause harm just by wishing it, as when he yelled "I hope your theater burns down!" to an owner who'd double-crossed the brothers — and the building did go down in flames after they'd left town. Then again, who's to say he didn't actually possess evil eye powers; a sun/Neptune/Pluto configuration would have it, if anyone could.) The brakes on consciously causing real harm comes from Saturn in Leo sextiling Uranus in Libra, which also shows that when he tweaked an authority figure, the person probably benefitted from it. At the least, Harpo got away with it. The sextile also shows that he could gain respect from not following the same rules as the norm, which fits with holding his own without saying a word in an incredibly verbal act. The square between Mars in Capricorn and Uranus in Libra, on the other hand, suggests he had to learn not to damage his own security (particularly material) or work.
Since not speaking was key to his career, a look at his Mercury is in order. Mercury shows communication: how a person takes in a processes information as well as how he conveys it. In the water sign of Scorpio, Harpo's Mercury shows that he did not think in words. Instead his mind worked more abstractly. He may have seen pictures; he may have automatically understood concepts. He learned things by being in the middle of them; like Zeppo, whose Mercury was in the water sign Pisces, he could read situations and people just by coexisting with them. While Zeppo mimicked, though, Harpo penetrated. This would have aided his timing as a performer. He would have known, without being able to say why, where another performer was heading and exactly when he should jump in.
As shown by the moon sign, his emotional nature and needs were singular among the Marx Brothers. Every other brother required distance; what Harpo needed was comfort, closeness and nurturing. Moon in Cancer creates a man with maternal impulses; he may well build a shell around his heart, to avoid their detection, but what's behind the shell is definitely soft, squishy and sentimental. Harpo was capable of being moved and feeling intensely (though, with Pluto masking his sun, he may not have shown it in his expressions publically.) He was also capable of crying, though this would have been privately. Because of the moon's harmonious aspect to the Neptune/Pluto conjunction, he was capable of unwavering emotional commitment bordering on religious devotion.
The Cancer/Capricorn axis involves the issue of who gets to be the parent and who gets to be the child. With moon in Cancer and Mars in Capricorn (in close opposition), Harpo wanted to be both, at once. This was a key issue for him. The importance of this dichotomy is amplified by the fact that the nodes of the moon also coincide with this opposition. The south node of the moon reveals a person's instinctive, automatic impulses; the north node shows their life path and purpose, the behavior that they are to grow into. Harpo's south node is exactly conjunct Mars in Capricorn (they're only 20 seconds apart), which means he was predisposed to be the daddy -- much like Groucho, who also had Mars in Capricorn, but to a stronger degree. He worked hard for long term goals, particularly involving family and material security, and he would have felt an obligation to take on financial responsibilities, particularly where emotional loyalties were concerned. Harpo's north node, the path he needed to take, is closely conjunct to his moon. This gave him an innate ability to act in synch with the times and fueled his popularity. It also meant that he needed to be more than a provider; he needed -- and, in a cosmic sense, was supposed to have -- emotional nurturing. He did achieve this, after marrying late in life (true, as always, to his own distinctive drummer.) He and his wife Susan Fleming created a home that was nurturing both to them and their adopted children, where Harpo played freely like a child.
This moon placement also gives clues about Harpo's relationship with his mother. With the moon in Cancer, he experienced some traditionally maternal qualities in her, unlike his brothers. (For an astrological comparison of their relationships with Minnie, click here.) Whether she actually was expressively caretaking, nurturing and loving, her presence would have felt like a security blanket. He felt emotionally connected to her and was probably protective of her; with Mars opposing his moon, he would have fought for her. What she wanted from him dovetailed with his own desires, so it was easy for this freedom-loving soul to follow her dictates. The strong will indicated by the sun opposing the Neptune/Pluto conjunction works absolutely in harmony with his emotional nature. His moon is harmonious aspect to both ends of the opposition (it trines his sun and sextiles his Neptune/Pluto conjunction.) Harpo would have seen larger-than- life, goddess-like qualities in Minnie, but they would not have loomed as a threat capable of destroying or consuming him. They would, instead, have been powerful allies in his own personal development, as well as worthy recipients of unflagging devotion.
Interestingly, Harpo's romantic/artistic/aesthetic nature and image of the ideal woman is similar to Gummo's, and a far cry from those of his other brothers. Venus in Capricorn conveys traditional aesthetics and an old-fashioned, hearts and lace aspect to romance. There's also a utilitarian undertone, valuing the object of one's affection a bit for the display factor. As far as womanhood goes, Harpo had down-to-earth opinions and preferences. His ideal woman was a practical, feet-on-the-ground sort, responsible, stable, reliable, even useful. A woman on a pedestal was not what he was after. Real and close at hand were more attractive characteristics. Making him feel safe and secure would have been the key to moving his interest into the realm of emotions. And when Harpo's emotions were engaged, he was there for life.

Hearings of the trial of Pierre Laval in 1945
Introduction by Eliane Loudenot-Faure, honorary attorney at the Paris Bar.
INTRODUCTION DE L'AUTEUR
LES INTERROGATOIRES
Pierre Lavals interrogations
Hearings of the trial of Pierre Laval in 1945 conducted by the Inquiry Commission of the High Court of Justice.
Before registering with the bar I worked as a clerk for the inquiry at the High Court of Justice in charge of trying the leaders of the Vichy government.
This gave me the opportunity to come into contact with the main politicians of the 3rd Republic.
Apart from four hearing sessions of Pierre Laval, I also participated as clerk in the plenary herring session of Philippe Petain at the Montrouge Fort when Paul Reynaud, Edouard Daladier, Leon Blum, General Gamelin, Yvon Delbos and others were heard as witnesses.
I much appreciated listening to Jacques Benoist-Mechin, Xavier Vallat, General Dentz and … Otto Abetz, among many others and for various reasons.
Being nearly 90 years old I most likely am the last living person who came into contact with these famous people, most of who met a tragic fate.
Many books have been published on Pierre Laval, his life, his career in government, his role during the German Occupation, his trial and his execution (which went beyond the limits of atrocity). However, the transcripts of his interrogations by the Inquiry Commission of the High Court, which took place before the public trial, and allowed the investigating judges, with the help of a clerk of the court, to determine the degree of guilt of the accused, were locked in the National Archives until 2008 due to the prohibition on publishing certain items under the law.
I was given permission to copy these documents that have not been published so far.
It is in these documents indeed that one can appreciate the weakness of the inquiry conducted by the judges in this trial.
I saw Pierre Laval as a hounded animal taking notes to complete what he did not have time to explain during the very limited herrings. He felt he was already condemned without being given the opportunity to present his case.
Nearly 60 years after these events it is felt that some elements in his favor should have at least avoided his receiving the death penalty.
But what becomes of justice in time of war?
It is my duty to publish these interrogations on the internet so that anyone interested will be able to form an opinion on these historical documents unpublished so far.
Originals held at the National Archives in Paris.

Lawn enrich the look of residential as well as commercial exterior areas. Moreover, lawns increase the production of oxygen and advance the development of microorganism. Properties that have got good landscapes are more costly than those that are un-kept. Not to mention that a well-maintained lawn gives a sense of peace and improves the emotional health of the residents. Lawns are good at promoting natural environmental processes such as soil and water preservation. It is therefore imperative to take care of the health and wellbeing of one's lawn. Such owners should be keen to promote external hygiene. Importantly, the leaves and branches should be regularly shared. Also, the lawns can be cared for by ensuring they have enough nutrients and are free of pests.
With basic training, homeowners are able to maintain well-groomed lawns. Alternatively, the homeowner can contract a landscaper to organize and design the lawn for them. At a small fee, the expert landscapers can do wonders for the property exterior gardens. It is important to engage them often. With some guidance from the professional lawn maintenance firm, the owners can care for their gardens themselves. When relying on self to maintain the lawns, the owner should purchase or hire the right tools for trimming and shaping the lawns. After grooming the plant droppings should be thrown away. The residue of the grooming exercise should not be left to lie around.
A vital part of tending to the yards is watering. The watering of the lawn should be efficient and timely. The person who is watering should be sensitive to the prevailing weather conditions. During these periods the water does not evaporate so the plants take in most of it. When rains are expected, it is best to avoid watering the plants as they will be watered by the rain. Wastage of water should be avoided when irrigating the plants.
In order to maintain that evergreen and beautiful looking yard, the owner should also ensure that the plant receives enough nutrients. This can be done by submitting soil samples to soil testing organization. The soil test is geared towards testing for nutrient composition, the acidity of the soil and nitrogen content. The soil test technician will then advise the lawn owner on the quantity of fertilizer or lime to add to the soil. The owner may be advised to provide more compost manure.
The other important area to consider when caring for your lawn is pests. Pest seriously affects the health of the lawn plant. The lawns should be subjected to continuous inspection in order to detect pests in good time. The gardener can resolve the pest infection using eco-friendly products. This may include natural pest repellents such as onion and garlic sprays, soap mixtures, oil sprays, neem oil sprays, and vegetable products. If the organic products do not work or are unavailable, the homeowner can discuss with his or her agro vet on the best chemical products to use in their lawn. If the lawn maintenance service provider opt to use chemical products, they should select the ones that are most friendly to the environment.

Having multiple pets can be hard enough, the last thing you need are ticks jumping around from pet to pet, creating an unhealthy environment in your home. Fortunately for you, this guide will help you find new ways to keep ticks at bay if you have a few pets that you take care of. So, what are you waiting for? Let's start kicking those pesky ticks out of your home!
One of the most helpful tips we can offer is to bring your dogs into your home at a time. This will help make checking ticks a whole lot easier and prevent the risk of ticks jumping from dog to dog. Also, this will help calm your dogs down enough to help check them easier.
No matter how long you go outside for, whether it be for a few minutes or a few hours, you should always check for ticks. If your pet has rough hair, make sure you do a thorough check and have an anti-tick device on hand that you can pick up for your local pet store. Also, don't forget to treat your pet to a reward after checking them for pest! This will make the next tick check that much easier.
Although flea checks are usually fool-proof, you also want to invest in a good-quality flea collar for when walks and outdoor time. Fortunately, there are dozens of flea collar companies, such as Frontline, Seresto, and Hartz to pick up at your local pet store, but make sure you do plenty of research to determine which type is best for your pet. For example, check to see if your pet isn't allergic to the ingredients in the flea collars before putting it on them.
Even though you do regular tick checks and invest in flea collars, one of the best people to check to make sure your pet is tick free and isn't infected from one of these pests is your local vet. It's crucial that your pets are checked regularly by your vet because ticks can pass off deadly diseases and bacteria, even if you get the tick off.
Ticks are nasty pests that enjoy our pets nearly as much as we do. Make sure you do enough tick checks with your pets to avoid them becoming sick or worse. In worst case scenarios, remember that your pet is your best resource, not the internet. If needed, seek professional care such as that of Fowler Pest Control.
This makes me glad I don't have any pets to de-tick.
Never had this issue, but always prevent.

Ursus maritimus tyrannus (білий ведмідь велетенський) — викопний підвид білого ведмедя з родини Ведмедевих. Мешкав в плейстоцені (100—12 тис. років тому). Утворився внаслідок еволюції популяції бурих ведмедів, ізольованих в Арктиці внаслідок настання льодовикового періоду. Деякі дослідники вважають, що він був підвидом не білого, а бурого ведмедя.

Опис
Відомий з однієї ліктьовою кісткою, знайденої в піщаних відкладеннях Темзи в Лондоні (Велика Британія). На основі аналізу дослідники припускають, що цей ведмідь 183—190 см в холці, повний зріст становив 3,6—3,9 м при вазі 1200—1500 кг. Зовнішністю і будовою він ще сильно походив на бурих ведмедів.

Спосіб життя
Першим серед ведмедів перейшов на харчування виключно м'ясом тварин, полюючи на великих травоїдних, яких у плейстоцені було досить багато. Велика кількість жиру давала змогу йому легше переносити низькі температури.

Розповсюдження
Його ареал захоплював, мабуть, не лише сучасну Велику Британію, але й Скандинавію і більш південні райони Західної Європи.

This is the story of one of recent history's most intriguing figures: Ulrike Marie Meinhof. In the 1970's, she was the mastermind of Germany's notorious Red Army Faction. Ulrike Meinhof was finally captured in 1972. In 1976 she committed suicide in her prison cell. This film is a journey into the past. Made up of both previously unreleased archive material and the personnal recollections of those who were close to her, Ulrike Marie Meinhof tries to uncover the true story of her radical drift. Ulrike Meinhof was a close friend of the authors's family and Timon Koulmasis was brought up with the her twin daughters.
A landscape of the north : the sea, the moon – red – over the banks of sand when the tide is out. In a lullaby, the good Lord threatens the child not to wake him in the morning. "Der Tod ist ein Meister aus Deutschland". Death is a Master from Germany (Paul Celan). Later: "The one who doesn't resist, dies. If he doesn't die, he'll be buried alive!" Ulrike Marie Meinhof, a close friend of my parents and the mother of my best friend. Memories of my childhood in Germany.
History is written by the victorious. This is a commonplace. But one doesn't have to accept it. In my film Ulrike Marie Meinhof I didn't try to find the truth but, as Rilke put it, "to read through grief and from far away"; I tried to understand.
The least one can say is that this film is a work of truth. It is never complacent. It is a success.
Timon Koulmasis' honesty, his refusal to abuse of his position … is not only a question of principle but of truth: he keeps the distance necessary to define with accuracy a woman everybody pretends to know - the icon of a generation -but nobody really understood, a woman who remained a mystery even to her closest relatives and friends. Ulrike Marie Meinhof is a documentary that tries to understand. It is the exact contrary of a news report that pretends to know.
Ulrike Marie Meinhof oscillates between memory (super 8 family films, testimonies of people close to her) and the social image (tv archive material) the film in fact rejects … Uncovering the wanderings of the terrorist, the director finally exhumes the implacable, uncompromising personality of a woman.
Ulrike Marie Meinhof reveals the profound gap between the human being and the superficial image its epoch has reflected. She was neither the bloodthirsty terrorist the media denounced nor the "martyr" certain activists liked to see in her. … Timon Koulmasis throws light in an original way on the generation following the war, the 1968 generation.
Reconstituting her true face and voice, this documentary restores her dignity.
This film has been one of the great moments of the festival. Ulrike Marie Meinhof, by Timon Koulmasis, shattered and deeply moved the audience. Remembering the simplistic image of violence and fanatism conveyed by the mass media, the spectators discovered, through rare documents and sensitive, intelligent testimonies, a gifted journalist sometimes compared to Rosa Luxembourg, a loving and beloved wife, a thoughtful mother, a theorist of the revolution often doubting and always torn apart.
Timon Koulmasis' film is an analysis and a requiem at the same time. It does not only describe Ulrike Meinhof's personality but paints a sensitive portrait of post-war Germany. It shows Ulrike Meinhof as a victim of collective neurosis in a country which had violently repressed its violent past and decided to defend the new order with violence.
Timon Koulmasis' film is shot in color and black and white, and classical music underlies large parts of it : an elegy. It does the person -Ulrike Meinhof- justice. An individual case. No elegy, though, can solve the mystery why there have been so many individual cases then.
Today the historical pantheon of the left has gone to ruin. (…) Timon Koulmasis films impartially the biography of a hero in Germany's recent history. He follows Ulrike Meinhof's wandering, from her years in university and her first contacts with pacifist movements as well as the epoch of the newspaper magazine konkret, until the time of the Red Army Faction, her arrest and presumed suicide in prison.
The film is based upon previously unreleased archive material and the testimony of close relatives and friends. Koulmasis, whose parents were intimate friends of Ulrike Meinhof and her husband Klaus Rainer Röhl, insists on his closeness to her family but, assembling images and interviews, he keeps the necessary distance. The film avoids sensationalism and uses the archive material –even the images of the department stores' arson, the prison or Ulrike Meinhof's death- in a very discreet way.
So Ulrike Marie Meinhof is something like an attempt ot show behind the frontpages of the newspapers and their image of the revolutionary martyr, a part of the social history of West Germany after the war.
How does your film treat the "Otherness" of its character?
This is a philosophical question concerning the image and what it represents, so it is the cinematographic question par excellence. Ulrike Meinhof led a singular life. Its reflections have shone out a long time on the present and later on the collective memory. The masks posterity put on her face have veiled her real identity. There is the mask of the assassin, the terrorist and the idealized one of the victim (of the system, her husband, her comrades in arms Baader and Ensslin, etc.) I had to destroy these masks in order to understand the real life story of Ulrike Meinhof. Only then I would be able to construct the necessarily complex image of the human being she has been before becoming a public figure. With this film, I do not pretend to know. I just try to ask questions with utmost accuracy.
When you have been so close to this story – Ulrike Meinhof was an intimate friend of my father's and I grew up with her twin daughters – the point is your responsability in making or not making a film rather than any motivation (psychological, historical or even just your desire as a film director). Because on the one hand this closenes made things easier for witnesses to talk, on the other hand it compelled me morally to find the just distance (on a personal level and on the cinematographic level as well) when I started to question this private and at the same time collective memory. This is quite difficult. After a lot of thinking, it seemed to me that it would be possible, though, and that I had this responsability to do the picture rather than not to do it.
How was this film received, especially in Germany?
My documentary broke the ice and finished with a taboo subject. It was the first time in twenty years that somebody spoke so freely about these oppresive years. Several other films have been made on these subjects since then. For the record: my film caused a scandal at the Berlin International Film Festival 1995. Certain protagonists of this epoch, whatever their political stance, were not ready to see the masks come down, to question certainties that had made them have an easy conscience for all these years. The film has been released in thirty countries since then.
At the time we were trying to create the New Man, capable of leading the struggle of transforming society and ready to transform himself.

In case you missed it, it's onsale now and here's the official blurb
"I have no respect for politicians and presidents. They're such backward-thinking human beings." Nergal, Behemoth
Behemoth frontman Adam 'Nergal' Darski speaks in the latest issue of Zero Tolerance Magazine about the conclusion of his recent defamation case against Polish politician Ryszard Nowak, head of the Committee For Defence Against Sects which, similarly to the PMRC in the '80s, has attempted to have various rock and metal artists – Behemoth included – proscribed in Poland. "In a 20-minute interview, he [Nowak] called me a criminal several times because of what I did," Nergal relates, referring to a Behemoth show in Poland where he was filmed tearing a bible. "But the fact is that I didn't do anything that he could consider criminal because I wasn't sentenced or convicted. It was lawless to call me that. I didn't feel offended, of course, but I played that I did and I went to court. It was a small YouTube channel and maybe 15,000 people who saw it. I thought, 'You know what? Maybe this guy, maybe someone's gotta fucking put him in his place,'... So I'm gonna do it. I invested some money, I brought him to court, and I won everything. He's got to pay for this homeless dogs' asylum, pay all the costs in the case, and apologise in the biggest Polish newspaper. I think it's a fair deal. We have free speech, but y'know, we also have a genetic condition...I don't know what to say – I have no respect for politicians and presidents. They're such backward-thinking human beings."
Turning his attention to Behemoth's new album Evangelion, Nergal reveals that an epic three-year tour is planned to promote the offering: " I love touring, and I love staying at home. I've been at home for months; it feels like forever, and y'know, I'm loving it. I have my regime, my discipline, my training, my work, my home and my hobbies. At the same time, I can't wait to get my ass on the road and wake up in a different place every day. I'd never change a single thing in my life because this is a good place for me to be – talking about my new record. It gives sense to my life; it defines me as a human being."
Behemoth aren't the only Poles to feature in the new issue of Zero Tolerance – this issue also sees the return of the legendary Vader, who talk about the changes extreme music in Poland has undergone during the quarter-century-plus they have been active. And proving that Vader aren't the only 'veterans' with plenty to offer, Suffocation, Obituary and Current 93 all join in the fun, along with Shining, Municipal Waste, Slough Feg, God Dethroned, Anaal Nathrakh, Job For A Cowboy, Man Must Die, Asphyx, Grunt, Death Pact International, Diocletian, Tetianblood and many more!

Since its inception in 2004, Zero Tolerance has set the agenda for extreme music, representing the sonically unacceptable without compromise, exposing the darkest, most obscure recesses of the musical imagination and celebrating its diversity. From black, death and folk metal through to industrial, noise, power electronics and neofolk, Zero Tolerance has consistently covered the music that other publications simply don't even know about - and while they play catch-up, ZT remains several steps ahead.

The CD was good, though to be fair I was only in it for the new Vader track, but the rest of the stuff on display was pretty good.
Contents of magazine were good, no major complaints.
Glad Adam Whatshisface is on board as I'd be a bit let down if at least one of you was a miserable fucker
The letter from the Welsh chap has inspired me to send a letter in contradicting him.
It will be as witty as a hammer, as subtle as a gangrape and as badly written as any Dan Brown book.
I'm expecting him to write another letter, actually, as Nergal from Behemoth has recently appeared on the cover of Metal Hammer lately amongst all the other winners of the Golden Gods and some other guys. WEERUGGGH COMMERCIAL!!!!!!!!!!1111111111one
That show was fucking cool, incidentally.
Cronos gave Ihsahn an award for being awesome.
Re-read that. Motherfucking Cronos gave Motherfucking Ihsahn an award for being awesome.
I would like to ask about one of the comments on the card thing that came with the mag.
What the fuck is "Real Underground Reporting"?
- Your staff vanish from the earth after conducting their interviews via 8-track recording exchange sent by disciples through a subterrenean network of tunnels of black ice while said staff are dressed as sith lords?
- Only 500 copies of each issue are printed and unsold ones are burnt?
- Bullshit statement that doesn't actually mean anything and is scientifically designed solely to annoy people at Terrorizer? Novel approach, I've never heard of anyone cringing to death
I'm sorry, ZT, I really am, but, MY BRAIN HURTS
*Insert picture of John Cleese with fake moustache, towel over head and wearing tiny glasses*
The Best Superhero In The Entire Universe
oh. does it sound that bad?
well, we need to point this stuff out - that we cover *underground* material, as not everyone will know that - and that we do is something that separates us from other magazines really. for those who have never bothered picking us up, this may be the clincher. maybe i can think of a better way of saying it. but i guess that if this comment on a piece of advertising material is your only significant complaint, then that's not bad going is it.
actually, it's not a dig at terrorizer at all. i don't have time to think about petty oneupmanship - i have tunnels to dig goddamit!
I didn't mean to imply that there was some sort of "Ragh, destroy Terrorizer vibe" it was just a facetious comment
Well, Terrorizer does a lot of underground shit.
Metal Hammer does some underground shit.
Reason I like Metal Hammer, in fact, is because it's ALMOST fucking everywhere in the wide, wide, ranges of metal.
Reason I prefer Zero Tolerance is because there's more extreme shit
yes, and a lot of the more extreme shit is more underground. it's advertising blurb. whaddya want? the moon on a stick

Another awesome issue. I really need to pull my finger out and subscribe though, as nowhere near me stocks it and I end up having to go into town specifically to pick it up. ZT is the only magazine I read nowdays as it actually does cover a lot of extreme underground metal bands as opposed to just talking about it and not delivering the goods. I could have done without the job for a cowboy interview, but at least it didn't focus on the "music" at all, just the vocalists hippy beliefs. There are always going to artists covered that I'd prefer were not, but in terms the worthy vs unworthy ratio, ZT comes out tops by a country mile. Good work ladies and gents.

Looking Back at the Best Moments from the Millrose Games
From Paavo Nurmi to Mary Decker to Eamonn Coghlan to Bernard Lagat to Elinor Purrier, stars have shone brightly at the oldest continuously contested U.S. indoor track meet
By Taylor Dutch, Runner's World
For the first time since the inaugural competition in 1908, the Millrose Games, the oldest continuously contested indoor track meet in the United States, will not happen this year. Originally scheduled for February 13 at the Armory Track & Field Center in New York, the competition was canceled as a safety precaution amid rising cases in the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Cancelling the iconic Millrose Games was a very difficult decision, but with all the health concerns surrounding an event of this complexity, rather than risking the athletes, officials, meet personnel, media and others, we have decided to wait until February 12, 2022, for the next edition of the Millrose Games," meet director Ray Flynn said in a statement on December 22, 2020.
For more than a century, Olympic gold medalists, world champions and record holders have launched their track seasons at the Millrose Games. With the prestigious competition scheduled to return next year, it seems fitting to take a moment and reflect on the many historic performances that have thrilled track fans inside Madison Square Garden and The Armory (since 2012). Here are nine highlights from Millrose Games past.
#9 Paavo Nurmi sets indoor world bests in 1925—after traveling for 2 1/2 weeks
The winter of 1924-25 was a standout season for Finnish distance runner Paavo Nurmi, and it started with a victorious opening night inside Madison Square Garden.
Months after winning the 1500 and 5000 meters within two hours at the 1924 Paris Olympics, Nurmi was scheduled to compete in the Mile and 5000 meters—both inside an hour—at Millrose on January 6, 1925. Prior to his arrival in New York City, Nurmi traveled for two and a half weeks across the Atlantic Ocean and trained while onboard the ship, according to World Athletics.
In the meet's opening night, Nurmi won both events and set indoor world records of 4:13.6 and 14:44.6. After the Millrose Games, the Flying Finn went on to dominate a U.S. tour in which he won 51 of his 55 races and set 12 world indoor records.
#8 Mary Decker shatters world indoor record in the 1500 meters
As The New York Times reported on February 8, 1980, Mary Decker was "the hero of the 73rd Wanamaker Millrose Games" after she beat her opponents by half a lap to win the women's 1500 meters in 4:00.8, a world indoor record. The performance took place 12 days after Decker broke the world record for the outdoor Mile by running 4:21.7 in Auckland, New Zealand. Her time at Millrose translated to 4:19 for the Mile.
Just 21-years-old at the time, Decker broke the records in her return to the sport after undergoing surgery on her calves, a procedure which gave Decker her health back after a slew of stress fractures and launched a career that included two World Championship crowns in 1983.
#7 Eamonn Coghlan becomes "Chairman of the Boards"
For almost a decade, Eamonn Coghlan was unbeatable in the Wanamaker Mile. From 1977 to 1987, he won the marquee race seven times, earning him the nickname "Chairman of the Boards" because of the wooden boarded track in Madison Square Garden.
During the 2020 Millrose Games, the Wanamaker Mile was awarded the World Athletics Heritage Plaque and Coghlan donated one of the Wanamaker Mile trophies that he won to commemorate his seven victories. He also donated the green spikes he wore when setting the indoor Mile world record of 3:52.6 in San Diego in 1979.
