Reining in Runaway Enzyme Halts Neuronal Destruction
Mouse Study Supports Potential Treatment Approach for Numerous Neurological Diseases
By Brandon Levy
Winter is fast approaching, bringing with it both picturesque snow flurries and raging blizzards. It's a good reminder that something that is desirable in moderate amounts can be downright dangerous in large quantities, and the systems that keep our cells healthy are no different. IRP researchers recently found a novel way to tamp down a runaway cellular process that can kill neurons, findings that may one day lead to new treatments for several debilitating neurological conditions.
Cellular Garbage Aids Quest for Alzheimer's Blood Test
Experimental Approach Predicts Future Alzheimer's Diagnoses
If you looked through my garbage, you would probably find a litany of apple cores (my favorite fruit) and a couple fundraising requests from my alma mater. Similarly, scientists can learn a lot about what is going on in cells by examining their trash. IRP researchers recently developed a blood test that may be able to predict Alzheimer's disease years before the onset of symptoms by examining packages of waste products from neurons.
Yoga Helps Pain and Brain
Five Questions with Dr. Catherine Bushnell
By Brooke Worthing
Yoga is all the rage these days, with millions of people taking part in the practice for relaxation, meditation, and increasing flexibility and muscle strength. However, the benefits of yoga go beyond what most might think. In fact, the mind-body practice of yoga could have a significant impact on the lives of those living with chronic pain, a condition that affects tens of millions of Americans.
In the past, doctors often prescribed opioids to treat chronic pain. However, research has shown that people with chronic pain have anatomical and neurochemical alterations in the brain that make them less responsive to opioids. In addition, both the medical and political systems are currently contending with a public health crisis stemming from the over-use of opioid pain medications. As a result, researchers have been working to identify ways to better manage chronic pain, particularly without the use of medication.
Poster Day Showcases Summer Student Science
Annual Event Shares Research by IRP's Summer Interns
NIH's Natcher Conference Center was packed once again last Thursday for the annual Summer Poster Day. This year, more than 1,200 college and high school students spent their summer performing research in an IRP lab through the NIH's Summer Internship Program.
I navigated through the more than 900 posters presented this year to get a taste of the impressive work done by these young men and women in less than three months. If they can make these kinds of discoveries in just one summer, imagine what they might one day accomplish as full-time scientists and clinicians!
Stress-Relieving Chemical Could Combat Alcohol Use Disorder
Targeting Brain's Stress Circuitry Curbs Rats' Alcohol Consumption
For social drinkers, alcohol brings to mind barbecues and bar-hopping with friends, but for the roughly 16 million Americans with alcohol use disorder (AUD), drinking is a source of significant stress. Unfortunately, those negative emotions — particularly those experienced during withdrawal — drive people with AUD to drink even more. A recent IRP study points to a potential way to curb the desire to drink in people who abuse alcohol by altering the behavior of a brain structure that governs negative emotions.
Mirror Therapy Alters Brain Response in Phantom Limb Patients
Neuroimaging Could Help Tailor Treatment for Amputees
Our brains frequently cause us to perceive things that are not real, from high-pitched ringing in an empty room to dancing spots in our vision after staring at a bright light. Even more strangely, people with phantom limb syndrome feel sensations, including pain, in arms and legs that they no longer have. New IRP research into the brain mechanisms underlying phantom limb pain could help hone treatment for individuals living with the condition.
On the Cusp of Customized Concussion Care
Five Questions With Dr. Jessica Gill
Each year, millions of Americans suffer sports-related concussions, and the number of youth suffering from these traumatic brain injuries has been rising. Blows to the head are common in sports such as football and hockey, and when these forces are strong enough to cause a concussion, they can harm the brain and impair cognitive functioning. Although concussions occur in staggering numbers, scientists do not fully understand what happens to the brain at the time of concussion or during the recovery period. However, that doesn't mean they're not trying.
A Friendly Bet Turned Major Scientific Discovery
IRP Investigator Bevil Conway Discusses the Science Behind the Headlines
What started as a friendly bet between investigators soon produced a major scientific discovery that calls into question the long-standing notion that non-human primates serve as accurate models for the way human brains function. The study, conducted by IRP investigator Bevil Conway, Ph.D., made headlines recently with reports in outlets such as NPR and U.S. News and World Report. We're going Behind the Headlines with Dr. Conway to dive deeper into the story, understand the significance of his findings, and see where his work could lead.
Another Piece of the Alzheimer's Puzzle
A Conversation with Dr. Lori Beason-Held
Expert estimates suggest that more than 5.5 million Americans may have dementia caused by Alzheimer's, a disease currently ranked as the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. Because of the condition's growing prevalence and profound consequences for patients, understanding Alzheimer's disease and other forms of cognitive decline is an important goal within the Intramural Research Program.
One example of the IRP's many contributions to the field of Alzheimer's research is a 2013 study that detected brain changes in older adults who would go on to develop cognitive impairment years before their memory began to fail. This research, led by IRP staff scientist Lori Beason-Held, Ph.D., aimed to understand who might be susceptible to developing Alzheimer's disease and what factors contribute to the development of the disease before symptoms appear.
Modified Stem Cells Boost Regeneration After Stroke
New Technique Overcomes Major Obstacle to Stem-Cell-Based Treatments
Your brain cells need plenty of oxygen and nutrients to survive — that is, unless you're a hibernating ground squirrel. By tapping into the cellular process that keeps these animals' brains healthy during the long winter months, IRP scientists have discovered a way to increase the survival of neuron-producing stem cells implanted into the brain after a stroke, a development that could one day dramatically improve stroke treatment.

We're having major glo up struggles ourselves tbh.
First up, lets all get on the same page: A 'glo up' is modern terminology to describe the ugly duckling syndrome, where someone suddenly gets very attractive after growing up and hitting puberty. We've all done it, witnessed the magic happen to someone else or simply pined for it to happen to ourselves, but either way - it's a thing and we want it.
So, in order to represent your current ugly duckling struggles, we've discovered every single pain you're going through right now and backed up with the appropriate YouTuber GIF. Tag your friends in this article so they can either feel loved or mocked by their genetic ability to get hotter. It's an epidemic folks.
When someone's glo up is so severe you gotta take a nap.
Trying to convince people that you're halfway through the glo-ing process and still have some work to do.
Seeing an ex who glo'd up SO good that you wanna experience time travel.
Looking the same way 10 years later and calling bulls**t on the whole glo up trend.
Slapping back to the haters when you get fierce WAY beyond reasonable explanation.
Trying to glo up in 5 minutes when you find out bae is coming over.
Hoping that puberty hits you real hard and you glo up overnight.
When you eventually glo up and still nobody wants you.
When your friends try to convince you that you don't need good looks 'cause you got a pure soul.
Seeing people in your DMs who called you fugly years ago.
Wishing to get hot any day now because the summer is coming and you're still single AF.
When your pet has a stronger glo up game than you.
Promising bae you'll start glo-ing real soon to make sure they don't leave you.
Knowing you will NEVER be as impressive-looking as Neville Longbottom.

This flash drive had a broken connector. Board seems physically okay but still not recognized when connected. The LED does not light up. Caps test okay. Data lines to CPU have continuity. Would like some additional testing advice before completing a chip off.
Check the 2 "000" resistors for continuity, plug in and put tweezers over to make circuit.
also, is C8 sldered ok? hard to tell, may just be shadow on the bottom.
Sometimes BGA balls get lifed if drive was bent or stressed.
Zero-ohm resistors R100 and R101 appear to be connecting PCB ground to the metalwork of the USB connector. I can't see how they could possibly affect the circuit. Instead I'd be checking the two 1R0 resistors (R1 & R3, 1 ohm) for continuity.
I'd also confirm that the crystal oscillator (U6) is oscillating.
U4 appears to be a switchmode regulator IC. I expect that the junction of L1 and C17 would the Vcore supply for the flash controller.
I would also try removing/re-soldering the micro-controller. If the drive took physical damages (broken connector), it's possible that some of the pads beneath the IC legs have cracked. Removing the controller will allow you to see if the pads are in good condition. Any damaged pads can be repaired.
I changed out the crystal just to make sure.
There is no voltage at the junction of L1 and C17 (also no voltage to the LED) so that area could be our issue.
Is C8 sldered ok? hard to tell, may just be shadow on the bottom.
Yes that is okay, just a shadow.
While I have not removed the controller, I checked the pads under the microscope and tacked them all down again.
Can you tell us the markings on U4?
Can you measure the voltages across C23 (V1) and C17 (V2)?
I had one that passed the microscope inspection but when I lifted the controller, the pads lifted with the IC. Sometimes the damage occurs at the junction between the trace and the pad and these can often be underneath the IC. If everything else looks good, then lift the controller to rule out all possibilities.
It appears that U4 (RT8010) is not getting an input voltage (Vin, pin 3). We need to find where Vin is coming from. I suspect that the flash controller may be reducing the USB +5V input to +3.3V via an internal LDO regulator. Then this +3.3V supply would be applied to the Vin pin of U4 to generate the controller's Vcore supply.
I would confirm that +5V is present at each end of resistors R1 and R3 (1R0). I would then use the multimeter's continuity function to determine which pin of the controller is connected to the Vin pin of U4, if any. If the controller is receiving +5V but is not outputting +3.3V, then it would be suspect. Alternatively, U4 could be powered from the +5V input, so I would test for that possibility as well.
Wouldn't it be funny if by removing the NAND chip the controller booted up and we found out it was simply a broken pad under the NAND chip.
We definitely seem to have a power issue.
What are the voltages across C104 and C8? What are their resistances?
Can I measure resistance of a Cap while its on the board?
Diode mode readings of both these caps is 591.
Neither cap is shorted, so the problem must be at the host end. What voltages do you measure at each of the USB pins?
Tim what model controller does this flash drive have?
I suspect that the flash controller may be reducing the USB +5V input to +3.3V via an internal LDO regulator. Then this +3.3V supply would be applied to the Vin pin of U4 to generate the controller's Vcore supply.
Phison controllers usually don't do such trickery. Besides, it adds to the cost of the flash drive.
If I had to guess because its BGA, Vcc is 3.3v and VccQ is 1.8v.
4.3v, not sure why its not 5v. This is also wired to a new connector so we can rule that out.
4.3v, not sure why its not 5v.
That's not good, try taking the DC/DC converter out of the circuit. Something is pulling amperage.
Unless you have miswired the USB pins, then ISTM that you must have a problem with the thruhole at C8.

Here are the cities and counties in D-FW that require face masks at businesses
Many cities and counties in North Texas are requiring businesses to mandate face masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Credit: WFAA
Author: Eline de Bruijn
Published: 1:25 PM CDT June 30, 2020
Updated: 1:25 PM CDT June 30, 2020
Many cities and counties in North Texas are requiring masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Counties across Texas, including Dallas and Tarrant, have recently recorded surges in new daily cases and hospitalizations.
On June 17, Gov. Greg Abbott clarified that "local governments can require stores and businesses to require masks." Bexar County was the first county to place the requirement on businesses and other counties across the state followed.
The declarations look similar across cities and counties that implemented them. They require anyone 10 years or older to wear a face covering when they are in a public place "where it is difficult to keep 6 feet away from other people or working in areas that involve close proximity with other coworkers."
Face masks do not need to be worn while pumping gas, driving with members of the same household, exercising or other outdoor physical activity, and when consuming a drink or food.
RELATED: Pence, Birx appeal 'to every Texan' to wear a mask after state's positivity rate triples in one month
The requirement doesn't apply when receiving a service where the wearing of a face mask would impair the performance of the service.
The business must post a sign near all entrances about requiring face masks.
The City of Kaufman is requiring masks at businesses beginning at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, the mayor's declaration said. Face masks will be required for patrons over 10 years old and employees, the declaration says.
"Face coverings are not a replacement for social distancing, frequent handwashing, quarantining, and self-isolation when sick," the declaration says.
Collin County has not issued a county-wide face mask ordinance. Plano City Council will consider one at a 5:30 p.m. council meeting Tuesday.
In McKinney, starting at 12:01 p.m. July 1, all local businesses must require employees and visitors to wear masks, according to the mayor's declaration.
The declaration will be in effect until 11:59 p.m. July 6, unless city council votes to continue it at their July 7 meeting or it is terminated by an executive order by Abbott.
To report a complaint regarding a business or facility not in compliance, residents can contact Code Services at 972-547-7400. Go here for more information from the city.
All businesses and nonprofits in the City of Denton must require face coverings starting 11:59 p.m. July 1, the city said. It will continue through 11:59 p.m. on Aug. 4 unless the Denton City Council decides to extend it.
The city also prohibited outdoor gatherings of more than 100 people.
Residents can report concerns regarding potential violations of the order through the Engage Denton mobile app, online at engagedenton.com or by calling and leaving a message at 940-349-8228.
"When concerns are received, the City will assign staff to visit with businesses and focus on educating and communicating the requirements of the Order and other potential health and safety measures that could be implemented," the city said.
Businesses in Tarrant County must require customers and employees to wear face masks, according to an executive order.
Business owners who don't follow the order or post the mask policy could face a fine of up to $1,000.
The order is in effect through 6 a.m. Aug. 3.
"We tried voluntary compliance but folks we just weren't seeing it, we need your help, we need you to follow these orders, we need you to mask up," Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price said at a news conference June 18.
There will be no fine or penalty for a person who doesn't wear a mask, but they will be asked to leave the premises if they do not comply, the city said.
Face masks are required at businesses in Dallas County through midnight on Aug. 4.
The ordinance, which went into effect June 19, includes a $500 fine if a business fails to come up with a health and safety policy and post it "in a conspicuous location sufficient to provide notice to employees and visitors."
County Judge Clay Jenkins also said businesses will not be subject to a fine if a customer refuses to comply with the policy.

Pete Buttigieg aims for 'generational' change at Transportation
Better Business Bureau: Avoiding Facebook scams
by: Danielle Scruggs
Posted: Aug 18, 2016 / 11:50 AM CDT / Updated: Aug 18, 2016 / 11:48 AM CDT
ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI)-Millions of people log onto Facebook every day to stay connected with family and friends. But do you know who else is online? Scam artists are trying to rob you of your hard earned money and the better business bureau has a warning today.
Chris Thetford from the Better Business Bureau shares some ways to protect yourself.
Chris says the scheme appears similar to others reported across the U.S. and Canada. Last month, a 76-year-old woman from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, lost more than $21,000 in an almost identical case. That woman, too, initially was contacted through Facebook by a thief who had stolen the identity of a friend.
In March, a woman from Toledo, Ohio, reported losing $9,000 in a Facebook lottery scheme after she was contacted by a thief posing as the woman`s cousin.
The bogus lottery is just one of many schemes directed at Facebook users and designed to steal personal information or money. Some of the most common include:
• Facebook romance schemes. Thieves ask for money after developing a romantic relationship with the victim.
• Privacy hoaxes. Thieves claiming to represent Facebook try to charge users to keep their pages private or their information secure.
• Phony Facebook quizzes. Thieves try to get users to click on fake quizzes or tests to hijack their computer or steal information.
The Task Force offers the following tips to help Facebook users avoid falling victim to thieves:
• Facebook does not sponsor a lottery. Anyone who tries to get you to pay any money in advance of receiving a prize is trying to steal your money.
• If you believe a friend`s Facebook identity may have been stolen, cease communications with him or her until you have investigated. Hackers have become adept at stealing Facebook identities and then using those identifies to convince others to give up money or personal information. If you have any reason to believe you may not be communicating with a friend or family member, verify the person`s identity by phone or email.
• Be cautious of clicking on unfamiliar sites and be particularly cautious about giving anyone any personal information through these sites.
• Be suspicious of anyone you do not know asking to 'friend' you on Facebook. Thieves often use this as a first step in gaining your trust in hopes of stealing money or personal information.
• If you receive a friend request from someone you know, first check to see if you're already friends with that person. If you recognize a page as a fake, you can report it at: https://www.facebook.com/help/174210519303259?ref=u2u
• Facebook says if an email or post looks strange, don`t click any links or open any attachments, and report it to the company. Emails can be forwarded to phish@fb.com. Learn how to report suspicious Facebook messages by going to: https://www.facebook.com/help/199655413426788/?ref=u2u To learn more about suspicious emails or notifications, visit the Facebook Help Center at: https://www.facebook.com/help/324203247669141/?ref=u2u
The Task Force is a coalition of local, state and federal government agencies and nonprofit business and consumer groups in Missouri and Illinois that work together to protect consumer and donor rights and guard against fraud.
The group has tackled predatory payday loan offers, tax scams, timeshare reselling fraud, credit repair and foreclosure scams, bogus sweepstakes, Internet sweetheart scams, home remodeling, air duct cleaning schemes and a variety of other issues.

Drugstore, department store, or speciality store, I've certainly tried my fair share of mascaras over the years. In my opinion, mascara is a product that can really make your look: what's a smoky eye without lush, voluminous lashes? It's also an integral part of my "3 step process" for when I don't have enough time to apply a full face of makeup: 1. apply under-eye concealer, 2. curl lashes and apply mascara, 3. apply tinted lip balm. Fun fact? Egyptians were the first people to use mascara, where both men and women darkened their lashes in an effort to protect their eyes from the desert sun, and ward off evil spirits (after all, the eyes are the window to one's soul). Luckily, the formulation and wear of mascara has changed quite a bit since then (honey, dung, and water were the Egyptian's concoction), and I've put together a list of my top 3 modern-day favourites. Whether you're looking to spend a little or a "little-more", any of the mascaras below are sure to cause bouts of lash-batting and selfie-taking. Ready?
I originally purchased this product as an impulse-buy at the L'Oreal private sale, and was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be one of my all-time favourite mascaras. The thin, comb-like brush separates and coats lashes without clumping, and the fragrance free/ophthalmologist-tested formula is suitable for sensitive eyes and washes off easily at the end of the day. If you're looking for extra length, and an extra-wallet friendly deal, definitely give this mascara a try. Learn more about the L'Oreal Telescopic line here, and purchase it from stores such as Wal-Mart, Target, and Shoppers Drug Mart, or online at well.ca.
I've been a fan of Mac Cosmetics for a long time. Their products are of professional quality, and there's always a great mix of "fun" and practical goodies to try. One of my go-to repurchases is their Zoom Lash Mascara, which has a fibre-wand that multiplies the look of lashes (while also elongating) and coats them in a shiny, gel-like formula. One coat is enough, but you can definitely build coats for more drama without worrying about clumping or caking. If you want lashes to look bolder and thicker, then allow me to introduce you to your new best friend. Purchase it in-store, or on the Mac website here.
I can't help but laugh whenever I wear this mascara and someone asks me if I'm sporting fake lashes; I'm sure Benefit would be happy to hear that the name they chose definitely holds true to their product! The perfect combination of separation, length. and volume make this product worth every penny. For application, you'll want to stop after 1 or 2 coats to avoid caking (you really won't need any more). If I'm looking to revitalize my lashes before going out at night, I'll simply re-curl them instead of applying more product. For removal, you'll want to use some sort of eye makeup remover (soap and water aren't enough to wash this beauty away). If you're thinking that $29.00 is too much for anyone to spend on a tube of mascara, you're probably on the same boat that I was before I tried it. My recommendation is to jump-ship, skip a few daily lattes, search your couch for spare change, and start saving for this holy-grail product. You'll thank me later.


Home prices are climbing nationally and in Scottsdale. According to a recent report released by the National Association of Realtors, existing home prices in the first quarter of 2016 jumped 6.3 percent year over year to a median $217,600, up from $204,700 in the first three months of 2015.
Johnathan Smoke, chief economist for Realtor.com, said in an online article that, nationally, demand is increasing faster than the supply of properties. New home construction is down roughly 6 percent, and there's fierce competition for affordable housing in areas with a strong job market.
Phoenix as a whole is one of those strong markets. According to the National Association of Realtors report, existing home prices climbed 8.2 percent in the first quarter of 2016, raising the median home price to $223,100. That's a full 2 percent higher than the national level.
If you break it down even further, the news for Scottsdale is mixed, according to the Cromford Report. Prices for existing single family homes in South Scottsdale (85257) and Old Town (85251) have increased 12 percent and 16 percent, respectively.
Looking at the market based on the price of the house instead of its location, you get a similar mixed picture. Sales of homes priced under $500,000 are down 2 percent over the last three months (March through May) compared to the same period one year ago, according to the Cromford Report. But, active listings are also down 2 percent in this market, and based on priced per square foot, the homes have appreciated 5 percent.
Between $500,000 and $1 million, sales are up 4 percent, but the supply is up a strong 16 percent. As a result, appreciation is fairly weak at 1 percent. The news is not good for the $1 million and over segment, though. Sales are down 5 percent while active listings are up 10 percent. Not surprisingly, prices of existing homes at this price have declined an average of 4 percent since last year.
Since so many factors go into determining exactly what your home (or any home) is worth, you'll want to consult a real estate agent before jumping to conclusions on the value of your home. If you're looking to buy a home, an agent can also point you toward homes where you'll get more for your money.

Hurts, Eagles too much for Lions in opener 38-35
By Associated Press Posted on September 11, 2022

By LARRY LAGE AP Sports Writer
DETROIT — Jalen Hurts accounted for 333 yards and a touchdown and A.J. Brown had a career-high-tying 155 yards receiving in his Philadelphia debut, helping the Eagles hold on for a 38-35 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
The Eagles scored 24 points in the second quarter and had a 17-point lead in the fourth that was cut to three when Jared Goff threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to DJ Chark with 3:51 left.
Philadelphia sealed the win with Miles Sanders' 24-yard run on third-and-2 from the Eagles 27 just before the two-minute warning and Hurts' sneak that converted a fourth-and-1 from the Detroit 40 with 50 seconds left.

Sanders finished with 96 yards rushing and was one of three Philadelphia running backs to score.
The Lions started strong, opening the game with a nine-play, 75-yard touchdown drive and forcing Philadelphia to turn it over on downs.
Hurts, though, proved to be too tough to stop on the ground and through the air.
He ran 17 times, one short of his career high, for 90 yards and a 1-yard touchdown early in the second quarter. The third-year quarterback was 18 of 32 for 243 yards, including a 54-yard pass to Brown that set up Jake Elliott's 23-yard field goal that gave Philadelphia a 24-14 lead at halftime.
Brown made a quick return on the team's investment. The Eagles traded the No. 18 pick and a third-round choice to Tennessee for Brown and signed him to a four-year contract worth at least $57 million.

Goff, who was inconsistent, was 21 of 37 for 215 yards with two touchdowns and an interception that James Bradberry returned 27 yards for a score that put the Eagles ahead 21-7 in the second quarter.
Detroit's D'Andre Swift, who is from Philadelphia, had a career-high 144 yards rushing and a touchdown on 15 carries.

EJECTED
Lions defensive back Tracy Walker was ejected for swiping in a scrum with the Eagles after hitting Hurts near his head as he went to the turf late in the third quarter. When Walker hit Hurts above the shoulders after he went down on a run into Detroit territory, Philadelphia players came to their quarterback's defense. Walker responded by swiping at tight end Dallas Goedert's helmet and that ended his game.
Eagles DE Derek Barnett limped off the field in the third quarter and was evaluated in a tent behind the sideline.

'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Blu-ray Review
At this point, to say that The Last Jedi is a divisive entry in the Star Wars canon would be a vast understatement. Even though the film was a rousing financial success with more than $1 billion earned worldwide and was well-received by critics, the middle chapter in Disney's new trilogy caused quite the fissure in the Star Wars fan community. With the release of The Last Jedi on Blu-ray and 4K last week, it's safe to assume that the majority of people who purchase the movie on home video enjoyed it when they saw it theaters. However, after spending some time listening to writer-director Rian Johnson's commentary track and watching the generous helping of included special features, I'd strongly advocate for anyone who found themselves feeling disappointed or even betrayed by Star Wars: The Last Jedi to pick up or at least find a way to watch the Blu-ray. Johnson is front-and-center in most of the features and provides in-depth insights into his thought process behind some of the film's most controversial scenes, as well as some humorous and charming asides along the way that highlight specific actors, the editing process, and pretty much everything that goes into making a Star Wars movie. It's quite possible that a fair number of the film's very vocal critics will at least walk away from the Blu-ray with a new appreciation for Johnson's creative decisions, even if they still don't necessarily agree with them.
The director's commentary is where you'll get the most insight into how The Last Jedi came together and I'd highly recommend giving it a listen. It's hard not to be charmed by Rian Johnson's evident affection for Star Wars and the entire process of getting to make a movie of this scale, though I do wish that there was another track with more of the cast and crew involved, so as to at least create more of a dialogue around the film and Johnson's creative choices (how great would it have been to get Mark Hamill on there with him?).
Like most movies, the deleted scenes run the gamut from important to totally expendable. The two that stand out as being scenes that arguably should have stayed in the movie are a brief moment where we see Luke silently grapple with the news of Han's death, as well as an extended Luke/Rey scene that expands the world of the alien nun caretakers, as well as revealing more of Luke's propensity for mean-spirited pranks. But the scene's true merits lie with delving deeper into Luke's reasons for abandoning his family, friends, and the Jedi Order, which could have only helped the film as a whole given how controversial Luke's characterization proved to be. We also get to see Tom Hardy's cut scene as a Stormtrooper who recognizes Finn aboard Snoke's ship and while it's interesting, I'm glad it was cut given how out-of-place Hardy's hokey performance feels.

Movie Review:
When Disney and Lucasfilm brought Star Wars back to cinemas in 2015 with Episode VII, The Force Awakens, they did so amidst a fanbase that was both hungry for and troubled by the release of a new film in the immortal space-opera series. George Lucas' largely atrocious prequel trilogy had burned many a loyal fan and it was hard to believe that handing the reigns over to one of the biggest studios on the planet would somehow restore the integrity of a franchise that had captured the imaginations of millions since the original Star Wars released in 1977. Fortunately, The Force Awakens mostly lived up to the hype, with director J.J. Abrams delivering a rousing, though at times derivative, new chapter that would go on to become the third highest-grossing movie of all time and give Disney the green light to start pumping out new Star Wars films on a yearly basis. Now two years later, Star Wars is taking something of a different gamble on hiring Rian Johnson, whose biggest prior directing credit was the well-received 2012 time-travel flick Looper, to oversee The Last Jedi. Abrams could be excused somewhat for playing it safe with The Force Awakens, given how much was riding on its success, but Johnson is under a different kind of pressure to not only produce a better sequel but one that represents the middle chapter in a trilogy, which is never an easy thing to tackle from a story perspective.
It's a good thing then that The Last Jedi not only improves upon The Force Awakens in every conceivable way but is so good that it ranks among the best things the Star Wars franchise has ever produced. Yes, it's Empire Strikes Back good.

Quality isn't the only thing The Last Jedi has in common with Episode V though, as the film also shares a number of thematic similarities with Empire. Much like that film, The Last Jedi finds the Rebels — sorry, Resistance — in a desperate situation. With The First Order launching a full-scale retaliation following the destruction of Starkiller Base at the conclusion of The Force Awakens, Episode VIII opens with the Resistance feeling the full brunt of their enemy's power. Make no mistake: this is arguably the most "Star Wars" of Star Wars movies, with much of the film taking place in the cold emptiness of space as the war between the two sides escalates. I was actually reminded of Mad Max: Fury Road of all things in terms of the way The Last Jedi sets up its cat and mouse pursuit between the First Order and Resistance fleets. The film is right up there with Empire and Revenge of the Sith in terms of being the darkest installment in the series but it's also filled with some huge laughs — many of which can be attributed to the adorable Porg creatures, who you will absolutely adore. Johnson expertly balances these tonal shifts and knows when to lean into the dramatic moments and when to pull back and give viewers a breather.
Meanwhile, Rey (Daisy Ridley) has sought out Jedi Master Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), who was notably absent for all but the final scene in The Force Awakens. Hoping to learn from Luke and seek his aid in the fight against the First Order, Rey discovers a much different figure than she had envisioned, one who appears to have given up on the Force and indeed, the very idea of the Jedi Order he once saved from the brink of oblivion. Hamill is simply sensational in his long-awaited return to the role that made him a star, delivering a performance that demands a reevaluation of how we interpret legacy and what happens when our heroes no longer believe in themselves. To say any more would be giving too much away but suffice it to say, the film hinges on the relationship between Rey and Luke and that it goes to some truly unexpected places says a lot about both the strength of the performances and Johnson's script.
Is Rey The Most Powerful Jedi In The Star Wars Universe?
Really though, it's hard to find much to complain about regarding any of the major characters. Whatever its faults, The Force Awakens succeeded in introducing an all-new cast of characters who were immediately likable and engaging, and The Last Jedi gives everyone something interesting to do. Oscar Isaac continues to be charming as hell as hotshot pilot Poe Dameron, whose reckless flyboy antics actually end up forming the basis of a pretty significant plot point. Poe's best buddy Finn (John Boyega) also returns and gets to be a "big deal" once again, as he's paired with newcomer Rose Tico, played by the wonderful Kelly Marie Tran. Boyega and Tran are easily the film's most adorable pair and have some of the film's most fun moments, but never at the expense of character development. Tran's Rose, in particular, is given a surprisingly emotional arc, as she wrestles with the recent death of a sibling while trying to maintain an air of hopeful optimism in the face of overwhelming odds. However, it's Adam Driver who really goes for it as Darth Vader-wannabe Kylo Ren, unearthing new depths to his character that helps make him one of the most interesting on-screen villains in contemporary pop culture. Of all the characters in The Last Jedi, I'm most looking forward to seeing where Driver takes Kylo Ren next in Episode IX.
I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention Carrie Fisher's final performance as General Leia Organa. Fisher takes on a bigger role here than she did in The Force Awakens but it still doesn't feel like enough, as it's hard to set aside the reality that this is the last time we'll get to see the late actress portray one of cinema's greatest and most beloved female heroes. As with most things in the film, it's hard to talk about Leia's role without giving things away but rest assured that The Last Jedi treats both character and actress with the reverence they deserve.
The Mandalorian: Easter Eggs You May Have Missed
I previously mentioned that The Last Jedi shares some similarities with The Empire Strikes Back but Rian Johnson also takes inspiration from Return of the Jedi and unfortunately, these moments don't work quite as well. One pivotal scene in the film feels almost like a shot-for-shot remake of a specific scene in Episode VI, which cuts the dramatic tension down a bit due to the sense of deja vu it elicits. The good thing is that it doesn't take long for this scene to cast aside those Return of the Jedi parallels and completely subvert expectations, resulting in one of the film's most surprising twists. Still, for as much as The Last Jedi does a considerably better job of balancing its homages to the original trilogy than The Force Awakens did, the film still manages to stumble occasionally when it comes to mining the old films for ideas but that's a small gripe considering how well Johnson is able to interrogate the legacy of those films and their characters.
I was also surprised by how intimate The Last Jedi feels. Make no mistake: this is an ambition film that is grandiose in every sense of the word but considering it's set in an entire galaxy, we don't actually get to see very much of it. There are really only a few different major settings to speak of, a byproduct of the film's intense focus on the war between the Resistance and First Order. The result of this is that the film at times feels a bit claustrophobic, which may or may not be an intentional creative decision, but I just know I was thankful when Finn and Rose travel to a casino city midway through the film, if only for a change of scenery and a reminder that there is a still a vibrant, living galaxy out there (it also helps that Canto Bight, the city in question, is wonderfully designed.) I'm still not sure whether or not I enjoy the film's relative minimalism when it comes to setting but at least each location in The Last Jedi stands out as a unique entity, unlike the derivative forest and desert planets introduced in The Force Awakens.
George Lucas & Baby Yoda Meet At Last
The Last Jedi is the best Star Wars film put out by Disney thus far but there's so much more going on in Rian Johnson's film that it feels like a disservice to simply say it's better than The Force Awakens and Rogue One. In spite of their many faults, one thing that can be appreciated about the prequels is that they dared to be different and didn't feel the need to repeat the look, feel, or indeed the plot of Episodes IV-VI. The Last Jedi may contain echoes of the Star Wars of yesteryear but for the most part, it doesn't feel derivative. This is a film that recognizes that the binary good/evil, light/dark side dichotomies of George Lucas' original Star Wars saga are an outdated storytelling model and indeed, the notion of the Jedi being benevolent upholders of truth and justice is directly challenged in some pretty shocking ways. The Last Jedi frequently turns subtext into text, giving voice to theories and discussions that have taken place for years among die hard fans but in ways that fit with the natural progression of the series. Of course, The Last Jedi is also a rousing space opera with some of the greatest action scenes in the series to date (let's just say if The Force Awakens' climactic lightsaber battle left you wanting, you won't be disappointed). The film is exciting, heartfelt, funny, and rewards longtime fans of the series with some truly powerful moments. Luke Skywalker was right: "This is not going to go the way you think." The Last Jedi will shock you with some of its twists but more importantly, it will probably remind you why you fell in love with Star Wars in the first place.
I just feel bad for J.J. Abrams in having to follow this up with Episode IX. May the Force be with you!
The Last Jedi is the best Star Wars film of the 21st Century and stands alongside A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back as the series' crowning achievements.

We are able to engrave this family crest for Balthorp or any other one you may have. Just send it to us with your order, or let us know where to find it and that is what we would engrave for you on the ring of your choice.
I have received my daughter's pendant. Thank you--I was so surprised to receive mail on Sunday. I was also surprised at how heavy the pendant is. This will surely help it to last for a lifetime. The detail is very good. I don't know how you do it.
My daughter will be receiving the pendant for her graduation as an instrumental music major. Her name is Haley and we believe she is the last of our branch of the Haleys, so the pendant is very meaningful.

Santa Clara site certified to key food-contact standard
Joins 6 other sites achieving ISO GMP standards
New status supports local and international customers in food-packaging market
Muttenz, December 17, 2019 – Clariant's Business Unit Masterbatches, a leader in the field of color and functional additive masterbatch concentrates and compounds, today announced it has completed ISO 22000 certification for its site in Santa Clara Coatitla, near by Mexico city. The Mexican site is the first in the Americas, to have completed the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certification, and joins the global footprint of certified sites in Asia Pacific and Europe.
Certification strengthens Masterbatches global capabilities and leadership position as a supplier of high-quality, high-performance color for the regulated industries of food, healthcare and toys. Applications supported by the Mexican site include plastic caps and closures, food tabs and bottles, as well as film and sheet. In recent years, regulators have determined that packaging that comes in direct contact with food products must be considered a food ingredient and must meet the same standards for safety. Because Clariant's color and additive concentrates are used in making plastic packaging, achieving ISO 22000 status for its manufacturing plants simplified the certification process for its customers and their clients.
"Our objective is to expand the business related to food contact applications and support our long-standing collaborations with current local and international customers in the region." says Miguel Ramirez, Head of Region Latin America BU Masterbatches. "This success is a result of continous improvement measures we introduced into the site over a long period of time, and a sign of the long-term strategy and commitment of the business to serve high regulatory markets".
ISO 22000 belongs to a family of international GMP standards such as ISO13485 for medical, devices, ISO22715 for cosmetics that address assessment and management of risk in the manufacturing and associated processes. ISO22000 is focused food-safety management and lists the measures that an organization needs to put in place to control eventual food safety hazards. These regulations are more stringent than earlier standards governing simple food contact. The need for such a standard is driven by an increased level of awareness of consumers towards food safety.
The certification process, which was overseen by SQS, a qualified Swiss provider of international certifications and audit systems, took roughly one full year and will undergo constant annual review.

Lo sventramento è l'atto della rimozione degli organi interni dall'addome. È stato utilizzato come forma estrema di pena capitale e per tortura per gravi crimini. Gli ultimi organi ad essere eviscerati, al fine di tenere in vita il condannato e protrarne la tortura, erano cuore e polmoni.

La pratica è stata attuata fin dai tempi più remoti da numerose culture, sebbene con metodiche che potevano variare da regione a regione. Come metodo d'esecuzione fu praticato a Roma e nell'antica Grecia.

In Giappone, il Seppuku era un rituale per il suicidio in uso tra i samurai praticata come espiazione di una colpa commessa o come mezzo per sfuggire ad una morte disonorevole.

Nell'Inghilterra medioevale lo sventramento faceva parte dell'esecuzione capitale per impiccagione, sventramento e squartamento.

DUBAI: After his most famous role as Imtiaz in Udaari, Ahsan Khan is back on the telly. The actor garnered bouts of critical acclaim for his role as he took a major risk deviating away from his chocolaty hero image. He was also recently seen in Ishq, a play based on Heer Ranjha originally penned by Waris Shah that was showcased on Sadler's Wells theatre in London. The actor now returns to Tv with a much-awaited play called Aangan, produced by Mohammed Ehteshamuddin, starring alongside Sajal Aly ,Mawra Hocane and Ahad Raza Mir.
Speaking to The Express Tribune, Ahsan khan spilt some details about Aangan and his character in the serial.
What can you tell us about Aangan drama serial and about your role in the show?
Ahsan Khan (AK): Aangan is based on a beautiful novel by Khadija Mastoor. I hadn't done anything after Chupan Chupai, Rehbaraa and Ishq. MD productions and Ehtesham were my biggest attraction towards it and I loved Mustafa Afridi's Sang-e-Mar Mar, who is now doing the screenplay for Aangan. I found the combination great. I can't say much about the character at the moment but it's a very subtle and straight. There aren't a lot of angles that I can go into great detail about but on the whole, the play is very well written.
I've always liked period plays; the way women are dressed, the way we speak, the language, the beautiful antique homes, havelis, the music – all of that beautifully portrays our reality, our culture, who we are and Ehtesham is the best person to bring all of that to screen. Even if you take away my character, it's a very gripping story. It's basically a family drama that is set in the partition era. It's not like Dastaan, which was mostly anchored on partition; this story is based on a family during political turmoil.
ET: Did you audition for Ishq?
Ahsan khan: The producers had auditioned around 100 people. Some of the people involved in this play were Pakistani and they had seen me in Udaari, but they wanted to audition me in English. The writers and all the other actors were new, but the script was very well written. I wanted to explore and see how British theatre works. Also performing live in London theatre, in front of 1600 people was an ideal situation for me. I only had 20 days for rehearsals even though the producers wanted more, but it all worked out in the end.
ET: You are very active when it comes to addressing social issues. What's your say on taking a stance against such issues?
Ahsan khan: As celebrities, we have a lot of clout. When public figures like us go out and support these causes, the government starts paying attention too. I think it's important to set an example instead of sitting at home and just writing comments. It's better if we can actually go out there and physically make a difference. We need to make a move to actually change things.


Healthy Environments Create A Healthy Generation!
Governor Snyder calls on schools and child care programs to play an essential role in preserving and promoting community health.
Learn about the importance of physical activity and healthy eating in the classroom, and then experience cuts in recess time and physical education class?
See vending machines filled with not-so-nutritious food and drinks?
See a "Tobacco-Free Zone" sign on school grounds, but see adults smoking directly outside of school doorways?
Are always offered healthy meal and snack choices emphasize colorful fruits and vegetables, whole grains, low fat dairy, beans, nuts and lean proteins?
Have clean, self-serve water available to drink all day?
Are only expected to be seated 15 minutes or less at a time, and are encouraged to be active inside and outside?
Have role models for healthy behaviors, like eating healthy and being physically active?
Healthy child care and school environments give young children and students clear and consistent messages, accurate health information, and ample opportunity for application.
The classroom, gymnasium, playground, cafeteria, on site activities, and communication systems can reinforce and educate our next generation, staff and families on healthy eating, physical activity and tobacco-free lifestyles.
"Health and Success in school are interrelated. Schools cannot achieve their primary mission of education if students and staff are not healthy and fit physically, mentally, and socially."

Post subject: Snow run anyone???
With all the rain that we are currently getting, there should be some snow on Mormon.
We will meet at the Corn Creek Ranger Station at 9AM on Saturday 1/9/16.
Post subject: Re: Snow run anyone???
Chris and I will be there for sure.
sorry I wont be able to make it. We have friends in town (from Europe) and they are coming over Saturday (3pm) to visit. Please let us know how it goes and if you run into any snow. I might go out there Sunday if there is any snow.
Sad we missed it. Looked snowy and cold up there. Yes, Roy, there is lots of snow.
It was a fun run. 5 vehicles showed up. The only problem that we encountered was a flat tire on a Fish and Wildlife truck. So the Rescue Rangers had to rescue the Ranger. Once we helped change the tire, since trying to plug it didn't work, we headed uphill again At the campground, there was about 8-10 inches of snow. After the snowball fight, we warmed up around a campfire. Thanks Ed for bringing some wood. We made sure to put out the fire and buried it under snow before we left. Since the road is open all the way through Sawmill Canyon again, that is the way we went. I think everyone had fun. I know I did. Thanks to all those that came out.

Q: C# Create high score text file and reorder the results I'm trying to create  a text file containing the players' scores of a hangman game. The structure of the text file should follow the order: number. name score (e.g. 1. Helen 2500). I tried to split the line so that I can introduce the data into a specific array for name and score so that I can compare the results and reorder them (the numbers remain the same: 1, 2, 3, etc.) but it doesn't work. I don't get errors but the building stops at this function because of an incorrect use of the array v[]. What do you suggest me to do to make it work?
[code]
private void New_Score(int score)
        {
            int k=0, i;
            char[] sep = new char[] { ' ', '\n', '.' };
            string line, aux1, aux2;
            string n=null, s=null;
            n = textBox1.Text;
            s = Convert.ToString(score);
            string[] part=null, nr=null, name=null, result=null;
            file_path = @"D:\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\WindowsApplication2\WindowsApplication2\Resources\HighScore.txt";
            StreamReader f = new StreamReader(file_path);

            while ((line = f.ReadLine()) != null)
            {
                part = null;
                v = null;
                part = line.Split(sep);
                i=0;
                foreach(string c in part)
                {
                    v[i]= c;
                    i++;
                }
                nr[k] = v[0];
                name[k] = v[1];
                result[k] = v[2];
            }

            for (i = 0; i < k; i++)
                if (string.CompareOrdinal(s,result[i]) == 1)
                {
                    aux1 = s;
                    s = result[i];
                    result[i] = aux1;

                    aux2 = n;
                    n = name[i];
                    name[i] = aux2;
                }

            for (i = 0; i < k; i++)
            {
                line = nr[i] + ". " + name[i] + " " + result[i] + "\n";
                File.WriteAllText(file_path, line);
            }
        }

[/code]

A: I would personally abstract the code a bit more, but if you don't want to add any more classes or really do anything outside of the method, here's what I'd do:

*

*Parse high scores in as a List<Tuple<int, string, int>>

*Add the new score

*Use either list.Sort() or LINQ to sort the list

*Write the list out to the file.

It's a lot cleaner and way more readable than what you have in the question.

A: There is no reason to store number, line position can serve to that purpose. Even better would be serialize List with score objects to for example XML (if you want to keep human readable score file), to avoid line parsing. But if you want to store to plain text here is a simple example :
private void New_Score(int score, string name)
{
  string filename = "scores.txt";
  List<string> scoreList;
  if (File.Exists(filename))
    scoreList = File.ReadAllLines(filename).ToList();
  else
    scoreList = new List<string>();
  scoreList.Add(name + " " + score.ToString());
  var sortedScoreList = scoreList.OrderByDescending(ss => int.Parse(ss.Substring(ss.LastIndexOf(" ") + 1)));
  File.WriteAllLines(filename, sortedScoreList.ToArray());
}

And later when displaying results add order number in front, something like this:
  int xx = 1;
  List<string> scoreList = File.ReadAllLines(filename).ToList();
  foreach (string oneScore in scoreList)
  {
    Console.WriteLine(xx.ToString() + ". " + oneScore);
    xx++;
  }

A: Despite the fact this goes entirely against the saying about fishing and eating which I strongly support, I took the liberty  of making a few improvements by completely rewriting your code.
First of all, I got rid of storing the position of the player in the text file. This isn't efficient, since when you add a player with the highest score (rendering him #1), you'll have to re-number everyone else that's present in the file at that point.
So the resulting file looks like this:
Foo 123
Qux 714
Bar 456
Baz 999

The main() method looks like this:
var scores = ReadScoresFromFile("Highscores.txt");

scores.ForEach(s => Console.WriteLine(s));

Console.ReadKey();

Then there's the Highscore class:
class Highscore
{
    public String Name { get; set; }
    public int Position { get; set; }
    public int Score { get; set; }

    public Highscore(String data)
    {
        var d = data.Split(' ');

        if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(data) || d.Length < 2)
            throw new ArgumentException("Invalid high score string", "data");

        this.Name = d[0];

        int num;
        if (int.TryParse(d[1], out num))
        {
            this.Score = num;
        }
        else
        {
            throw new ArgumentException("Invalid score", "data");
        }
    }

    public override string ToString()
    {
        return String.Format("{0}. {1}: {2}", this.Position, this.Name, this.Score);
    }
}

You see a Highscore populates itself based on the line from the Highscore file it's fed. I populate the list of scores using this method:
static List<Highscore> ReadScoresFromFile(String path)
{
    var scores = new List<Highscore>();

    using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(path))
    {
        String line;
        while (!reader.EndOfStream)
        {
            line = reader.ReadLine();
            try
            {
                scores.Add(new Highscore(line));
            }
            catch (ArgumentException ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Invalid score at line \"{0}\": {1}", line, ex);
            }
        }
    }

    return SortAndPositionHighscores(scores);
}

And finally some sorting and position assigment:
static List<Highscore> SortAndPositionHighscores(List<Highscore> scores)
{
    scores = scores.OrderByDescending(s => s.Score).ToList();

    int pos = 1;

    scores.ForEach(s => s.Position = pos++);

    return scores.ToList();
}

Resulting in:
1. Baz: 999
2. Qux: 714
3. Bar: 456
4. Foo: 123

A: Seems like a complicated way to store a simple list of high scores. Why don't you try the following.
Define a simple object to hold a player's score.
[Serializable]
public class HighScore
{
    public string PlayerName { get; set; }

    public int Score { get; set; }
}

Make sure you mark it with the [Serializable] attribute.
Let's quickly create a list of high scores for a couple of players.
var highScores = new List<HighScore>()
{
    new HighScore { PlayerName = "Helen", Score = 1000 },
    new HighScore { PlayerName = "Christophe", Score = 2000 },
    new HighScore { PlayerName = "Ruben", Score = 3000 },
    new HighScore { PlayerName = "John", Score = 4000 },
    new HighScore { PlayerName = "The Last Starfighter", Score = 5000 }
};

Now you can use the BinaryFormatter to serialize the scores and save them to a local file.
using (var fileStream = new FileStream(@"C:\temp\scores.dat", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
{
    var formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
    formatter.Serialize(fileStream, highScores);
}

Later you can load the high scores from this files in a similar manner.
using (var fileStream = new FileStream(@"C:\temp\scores.dat", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
    var formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
    highScores = (List<HighScore>) formatter.Deserialize(fileStream);
}

If you want to sort them you can implement the IComparable interface on the HighScore type.
[Serializable]
public class HighScore : IComparable
{
    //...

    public int CompareTo(object obj)
    {
        var otherScore = (HighScore) obj;
        if (Score == otherScore.Score)
            return 0;

        if (Score < otherScore.Score)
            return 1;

        return -1;
    }
}

Now you can just call the Sort(...) on your generic List collection.
highScores.Sort();

And voila the scores are sorted in a descending order.
foreach(var score in highScores)
{
    Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0}: {1} points", score.PlayerName, score.Score));
}

Or even more simple, just use LINQ to sort the high scores.
var sortedScores = highScores.OrderByDescending(s => s.Score).ToList();

This is a period of significant and profound change, one that perhaps happens once in a lifetime. Technological advancements and transitions are quickly moving us from the old to the new economy. This tech evolution is having an impact on the way we live, how we work, how we govern, how we identify as individuals, and who we do business with. The changes that we're experiencing will shape the global landscape for generations.
Bloomberg's New Economy Forum seeks to be the defining voice and global hub of ideas as we experience these transitions and seismic shifts. The forum will give a unique group of leading executives, policymakers, rising stars, innovators, and thought leaders from around the world the opportunity to have candid exchanges and conversations. Together, they'll define the challenges, identify the opportunities, and chart a way forward for the global community.
Global institutions and capitalism are struggling. Is the answer greater regionalism to preserve economic and political stability? Technology is making governments simultaneously more powerful and more vulnerable. Artificial intelligence gives governments a powerful tool to monitor and control their populations, but it also provides a way for the public to scrutinize their leaders. How can societies protect the freedom of individuals? To compete, Western governments are developing industrial policies in response to the Chinese Model, featuring industrial planning and powerful state enterprises. Are these Chinese models more suited to the tech-driven economies of the 21st century? Will New Economies borrow the Chinese playbook? And will the free-market systems of the West be forced to adopt some of its principles?
The World Trade Organization is in trouble. A U.S.-China trade deal is being negotiated outside the WTO framework, weakening a pillar of the Bretton Woods system and raising the question: Is the multilateral trading order giving way to an era of managed trade? Meanwhile, New Economies face critical infrastructure bottlenecks. The "Belt & Road" initiative helps fill a massive gap with real strategy, hard cash, and 5G-enabled projects. Skeptics talk of debt traps and nontransparent contracts that favor Chinese companies. Is there a better plan? And as technology continues to spread, the trade in data is worth more than the trade in goods. Is proximity to fiber-optic cables more important than being close to sea lanes and air routes? If so, who are the winners and losers in this digital market?
Cross-border innovation networks produce breakthroughs in areas such as artificial intelligence and robotics. 5G networks will enable everything from autonomous driving to telemedicine. But a Silicon Curtain is falling between the U.S. and China that threatens the global rollout of 5G networks, which could cleave the global industries and cause an "innovation winter." How will New Economy countries navigate the uncertainty? What will be the impact on global businesses?
Cities are becoming hubs of the New Economy, and local governments are taking on a more global role. At the same time, technology is changing how cities function. Mayors are increasingly designing the blueprints for successful living across diverse metropolises. How do governments balance the growing importance of cities with non-urban populations needs?
Finance & Capital Markets
Can capitalism save itself? To survive, it will be forced to reconcile with its critics on the Left demanding radical wealth redistribution, higher taxes, stronger social safety nets, and a stronger role for the state in the economy. What will this mean for corporate investment and profits? Increasingly, as China's trade surplus shrinks—or turns negative—the country will look to the rest of the world to finance its growth. What are the opportunities for global businesses?
Many scientists worry that we've already past the point of no return and the warming is irreversible. Does the world need to turn the focus from prevention to mitigation? How will this shift in planning affect migration, economies, and infrastructure development? What are the governments and businesses that are planning creatively for a different climate and what can the world learn from them?
Global migration has had an impact on old and New Economies alike. It's easier and less expensive than ever for people to move in search of opportunity. But this mass movement hasn't always been welcome and has given rise to populism and xenophobia. How can societies include the talents of migrants for the economic benefit of all. There are more women in government than ever before, but women business leaders have yet to reach parity with men. The economic benefits of women in the workplace are well known. But will the New Economy pave the way for gender equality?
New Economy Forum
Established in 2018 by Michael Bloomberg, the New Economy Forum is a community of global leaders engaging with the world's most significant changes and challenges. The forum has been in held in Singapore in 2018 and Beijing in 2019.
