Bulldogs Conduct Fourth Spring Practice
ATHENS, Ga. — The Georgia Bulldogs held their fourth practice of the spring campaign on Tuesday afternoon, working out in full pads. Georgia will continue practice through the Bulldogs' G-Day game on Saturday, April 20 at Sanford Stadium.
The following are quotes from head coach Kirby Smart and senior defensive lineman David Marshall in media sessions after the workout.
Head Coach Kirby Smart:
Opening Statement:
"I'll open up with a comment first about Tyrique Stevenson and Tyler Simmons and then talk about practice a little bit. Obviously very disappointed. There's a standard of behavior that's expected of athletes at the University of Georgia and that's not indicative of the behavior we want at the University of Georgia. It's very obvious that those guys made poor choices and decisions and they will be disciplined. They will be disciplined internally and to be honest with you, both of them were cited with disorderly conduct which I think you guys know. They've got to find a way to make better decisions especially as young men representing this university. Those things will be handled, and they'll be handled the right way.
"As far as practice today, I thought guys did a tremendous job practicing, really pushed hard, spirited practice. They competed really hard. We've got a lot of good competitions going on out there. I thought Saturday's practice was really good, too, so we've had two really good competition days. Hope we can continue to stay injury free, we've got some bumps and bruises. We're starting to get some guys back, LB David Marshall was able to do a little more today than he's been doing coming off the Liz Frank injury, hope we can continue to do that. With that I'll open it up for questions."
On if there is a frustration with team leadership after the arrests of a freshman with a senior…
"Yeah, there's always frustration when you have this. I don't think it's about a senior or a freshman. Those two guys weren't even together. They didn't go there together. That wasn't the case. They ended up there, but that's not my concern. My concern is I've got is the decisions that were made to put yourself in that situation. Look, our kids go downtown. We know our kids go downtown. When you go downtown, you've got to behave. You've got to act the right way. You've got to follow rules and be law-abiding citizens. That's the expectation we've got for our players and, to be honest with you, for the most part our guys do that. But when they don't they're going to be punished and we're going to try to correct it and we're going to do it through educational ways. We're certainly going to do that with both Tyrique and Tyler."
On Simmons' injuries from the incident…
"Yeah, he's fine. He practiced today. It was something to do with his ear, but I'm not sure what it was."
On if there were any other players involved…
"Not as far as I know. I do not think so. I think it's over and done with. They finished it up, but I'm not 100 percent sure on that. Our communication with them is that those were the two guys involved. There were other guys there, but as far as the involvement it was those two."
On filling the tight end position without Isaac Nauta…
"Thin. There's not a lot of guys there. You know we moved Colby White, who we thought was a really good outside backer in fall camp, and he did a good job. He's developed. He's gotten a little bigger. We moved him over there to give us a little more depth. He's done some really competitive things. He's fighting his tail off. There's a young man that decided to be a walk-on here, Peyton Mercer, who's done an incredible job competing over there. Several guys. Charlie [Woerner]…[John] Fitzpatrick are ahead of the other guys. Obviously we've got help on the way and we want more help. But if you ask me right now it's thin."
On who stands out of the wide receivers…
"Well, ironically Tyler Simmons has played well. He's really competitive, he's fast, he gets on top of us. He's done some good things. I think 'D-Rob' (Demetrius Robertson) stepped up. He's got to continue to play more physical, but he's made some catches. He's made some vertical threats. Jeremiah (Holloman) is playing well. Kearis (Jackson) is coming along, probably not as fast as I'd like. Matt (Landers) has done some things and Tommy (Bush} has done some things. You know Matt's got some bruises. Tommy's dealing with some groin injuries. The volume we have for the number of receivers we have has been tough, and we normally balance that with tight ends but we don't have volume there. So we're thin. We know help's on the way, but we've just got to do a good job developing enough depth that we're comfortable with. They've made some plays, I definitely think that, where last year it was like big-play-bonanza out there with the wideouts while we had the young DBs. That's balanced out more. Our DBs have gotten better, at least I hope they have, or the receivers are not as good a group right now. Actually, it was this time last year. That's only going to happen through getting the kids here we signed and continuing to develop them."
On CB Tyson Campbell's development…
"Tyson's doing a good job. He's in a really good competition. What's good about the corner position, we've got some guys coming along. DJ Daniel was, which we knew in bowl practice, he's going to be a good player. He was covering the guys in the likes that were at the combine so we knew we had a pretty good player in DJ. Tyson's improved. He understands the defense better. He's bright, he's doing some good things out there. (Eric) Stokes is doing some good things. Even Tyrique Stevenson has picked some things up. So we've got some good competition at that corner position."
On David Marshall's injury… "We got him fixed immediately, we just didn't know when he was coming back. David in my mind was probably not going to be able to come back most of the year last year. So I don't really know what you're asking. His injury is not the same injury as James Cook, though, no. It didn't so much linger as it did. He was injured (and) then out for a while. We got him fixed. He's taking the screws out now; he's taking the next step to coming back now. He's got to progress back because he gets sore each time he uses it because he hasn't used it for so long."
On the impact of losing Marshall last season…
"I don't know. That's in the year's past. He's a good player, I'm not going to cry over that. We need him this year. I want him to stay healthy."
On if they work on schematic or individual defensive plays...
"There's definitely some schematic stuff. We have a base defense that we feel good about. Within that, we have pressures and we have a lot of things we didn't use last year for whatever reason. We may not have thought they fit the opponent. We may not have thought the fit who we had on the back end to protect it. I think we're going to be deeper and older and wiser on the back end, which allows for a little more complexity. Last year was s tough year. It was nothing to do with Coach (Mel) Tucker. It was tough. We had some young guys in the secondary, a lot of young guys. Where now, I feel like we have a group back there that is emerging with some personality. Divaad (Wilson) has grown a little confident. That bowl game worked wonders for him. He's playing good. Mark Webb is where he understands things. J.R. Richard…there's good competition at safety with Otis (Reese). We just have more competition, which I think allows us to create more havoc. Some of that is scheme where you go meet with five times that are in the top 20 creating tackles for loss and you say 'How do you do it?' You start learning that and you try to put some things in that they do. We're trying to that, but to be honest with you, you're running against a big ole wall of grown men up that, and that's tough. That's a good offensive line."
On what he's seen from early enrollees DE Nolan Smith and LB Jermaine Johnson…
"I've seen hunger out of both of those guys. They don't know exactly what to do yet, but man they do it hard. There's something to be said for that. We're going to play kids at the University of Georgia who give effort and play hard and do the right things. Those two guys, they play hard. They don't know what they're doing yet, and that's our job. I'm very thankful they're here for (these) 15 practices. I mean Nolan has flashed some plays. He made a helluva hit today and a really good play. He's also flashed some What are you doing?' Jermaine has been the same play. We call them 'Super Man plays,' where you look out there and say 'Who is that guy? Who is that jersey number?' But then they're lost some too. I'm fired up to coach those two guys because I'm excited about what they're going to do to the guys in front of them from a pushing standpoint.
On if DL Jordan Davis and other defensive linemen are stepping up with an injured line…
"What other guys? We don't have any. Defensive line is super thin. I guess I'm whining to the masses because every coach would tell you they don't have enough defensive linemen. Jordan is pushing hard. He's working hard to control his weight. He's not playing to the level he was playing mid-season to the end of the season. He's not there right now, but he's working hard. Jordan comes in and works cardio more than anybody we've got. I mean if I ran as much as Jordan my wife would be happy because I'd be skinny. Jordan's got to fight that battle, and he knows it. We don't have enough depth there. I thought Devonte Wyatt is a guy who's really been competitive and done some good things. He was starting to grow up during the season, and there's something about these guys in that second spring when they start to click and get it. Our help is on the way there. It's just not here."
On OL Jamaree Salyer's performance…
"I'd say he's three or four practices, he's our most improved offensive lineman. It's not center because he's working at center as a candidate, but he's working at right tackle and right guard. Let me tell you something, he's played quick. The biggest jump has been that guy. We kept waiting on it because you knew you were getting a really talented player. I didn't see the Jamaree I've seen this spring, I didn't see any of that in the fall. He's challenging some guys. He's making guys work hard. I didn't know if the guy could be a right tackle, but he's gone out and played well. He's gone to right guard and played well. He's gone to center and blocks Jordan Davis. You start going 'Who is that?' 'That's Jamaree.' 'Who's that at right guard?' 'That's Jamaree.' Jamaree has done some good things. We gave him some looks today with the ones, and we'll continue to do that if he continues to play well."
On DT Michael Barnett putting on weight…
"We want some quickness and twitch. When we study all these 'havoc rates,' a lot of it is twitchy players…quick guys. It's a catch 22 for us because if you have quick twitchy guys and you're playing against our guys every day in practice, our offensive line, when you move and they move you, some times the displacement is huge because when you've got Salyer and Andrew (Thomas) and really good offensive linemen and you start moving sideways, they just whack you and move you. We're not built to be an extremely violent quick, twitchy defense. Mike has put on a little weight. I can't tell you if it's good or bad weight because he's playing good football. He's not playing great; he's playing good and I'm pleased. Mike is a leader. Mike is a lunchpail guy. He's gotten better every year. He works really hard Jordan is pushing him, though."
On David Marshall and the inside linebacker position…
"Well, Marshall's not able to do much. I see him a lot during walk through and I see a lost kid. LB Rian Davis, the only time I see those kids are during walk through. I'm just licking my chops to go coach them and they don't get to practice. That's unfortunate. They can't put pressure on themselves to go learn it in walk through. You can only learn it through repping it. One guy who's done some good things has been LB Nakobe Dean. He's very intelligent, he's very instinctive and he's going to challenge some guys. He's got to continue to grow and learn. LB Channing [Tindall], LB Monty [Rice], LB Quay [Walker], LB Tae [Crowder], even LB Jaden [Hunter]. They're all doing a good job. They're competing. But, as you know we just had two guys leave the program. I thought they were both team players and competitors but they were not elite speed-wise. We're not going to be able to play until we get an elite speed guy in there that can run and chase things down. We're still looking for that."
On J.R Reed's decision to return…
"It's really important for us. We've got some continuity in secondary, he's a great leader, he's very communicative, he is the alpha in that secondary. He says, 'this is what we're doing' and he takes over. He demands guys take notes in meetings. He is what you want. Him staying doesn't have to do with me. He talked to his dad who is an NFL vet, played a long time. He talked to his mom. I don't get involved in that decision. I provide information and I get feedback from people I talk to but he made that decision. I'm certainly glad he did. I think he'll go down as one of the best leaders to come through here because he's got a chance to be a three-year starter.
On running back Brian Herrein…
"Brian's a fire plug out there. Brian's hard to cover, explosive. I think you're just seeing more of Brian because before it was sharing, sharing, sharing. He gets a chance to do a lot more and he's worked really hard and we need him to be a good leader on the team."
Senior David Marshall:
On how Coach Kirby Smart's emphasis on 'havoc play' has impacted the defensive strategy this season...
"It really makes us go out there knowing that we need more tackles for loss, more sacks, more fumbles and more interceptions. We go out there and work every day getting better, trying to get more sacks and interceptions."
On what he's seen from the two-deep group of offensive linemen...
"They're working against each other and competing against each other, getting back right. They're just making each other is what I've seen out there."


Art Battle Amsterdam No.3 - November 19th. Don't Miss It!!!
Let me introduce you to this amazing artist Bruno Portella. I was lucky enough to view him painting live at Amsterdam's first Art Battle competition. If you haven't heard of these events (they are big in the US and Canada and now expanding into Europe) the are live art events where competitors have 20 minutes to create a painting all using the same materials and the crowd vote on who should progress to the final and ultimately the competitions winner.
A few months back I came across this Dutch brand selling soaps and household cleaners. I had been looking for some new green cleaning products here in the Netherlands. So far I have tried the hand soap, washing up liquid and general all-purpose spray cleaner. I love the fresh smell and fact that I'm not harming my body with any toxic chemicals or artificial scents.
It's so hard to find truly natural or non-toxic cleaning products these days, sometimes it's just easier and cheaper to make your own using simple ingredients. Baking soda, aka Sodium Bicarbonate is one of my favourite products to use around the house for cleaning and acts to neutralise pH whether it's acid or alkaline. Here are my 'Top Tips' for using it!
Last weekend I attended a Bonsai for Modern Life Seminar at Time and Style in Amsterdam. I've always loved the look of Bonsai trees but never imagined the work needed to care for one and the Japanese ways of placing a Bonsai in the home.
Last week I was lucky enough to attend the first Art Battle in Amsterdam. The event was hosted at Pllek by the owners of Sweet Bob's Amsterdam. This was a tournament that showcased the best in live painting. You move art and art moves you! Artists had 20 minutes to take their canvases from blank to beautiful and the audience votes to pick the winner.
I consider myself one of the lucky few to have visited this wellness retreat. After attending a Balanced Body Pilates Conference in Phoenix, Arizona, I decided to take some 'me time' and spend a few days here at the Miraval Resort. It's only a short travel from Phoenix.

What Are NFTs
Importance Of NFTs
Why Are People Buying NFTs?
FAQs about NFTs
Non Fungible Tokens are a new talk of town. They have become a new craze in cryptocurrency and blockchain world. You might have recently heard that Wikipedia creator's computer and Non-Fungible Tokens were auctioned for almost $1 Million, and it might have compelled you to think, what these NFTs are. If you want to know about Non Fungible Tokens in simpler terms, then you are at the right place.
NFT stands for Nun Fungible Tokens. Simply put, Fungible refers to any such thing that can be replaced by another thing of equal value. For example, a note of 500 Dollars can be replaced by another note of 500 Dollars or 5 notes of 100 Dollars. Similarly, a Non Fungible is any such thing, that can't be replaced by any similar thing, as it is unique in value. Token refers to a certificate, code or contract, and it is stored on a Blockchain.
NFTs are a set of non-replaceable data that represents a digital asset on a blockchain. If you have any digital asset, that is rare, unique and can't be replaced by anyother thing, it is appended with a piece of code (identification code or token), which is then stored on a blockchain, and is known as a Non Fungible Token. This code helps in ascertaining the ownership of the digital asset and prevents its piracy and duplication.
Non Fungible Tokens, as the name suggests are the pieces of encrypted data, that are irreplaceable and represent a unique and a non-replaceable asset. These pieces of data grant ownership rights to the beholder and make the digital assets tradeable and verifiable using blockchain technology.
NFTs can include anything ranging from tweets to digital art to a song or an album. If any tweet is non-fungible, it means it can't be replaced by anyother thing, and if it is a token, it means it is represented by a piece of data on a blockchain. Unlike a bitcoin which can easily be replaced with another one, as both have same value.
Suppose you and your friend, each have a Bitcoin and a drawing pad. Both of you make copies of Monalisa painting, on your respective drawing pads, and suddenly Leonardo Da Vinci, emerges out of his grave, and declares to the world that your painting is going to be digital version of Monalisa and appends his signature on it. Will you ever interchange your painting with your friend now? No, and therefore it has become non-replaceable or Non Fungible. Will you exchange your Bitcoin with your friend? Yes, you will, because none is superior than the other.
Since your painting has increased in value, you would like to maintain ownership rights on it. To do so, you will secure your digital painting with a piece of code, called token. This piece of code will be stored in a Blockchain as Non Fungible Token. Whoever holds the code, holds the ownership rights. This token has no value of its own. It derives value from the asset, which it represents on a blockchain.
NFTs or Non Fungible Tokens are a new use case of cryptocurrency and its underlying Blockchain technology. It is going to revolutionise the world in the following ways:
NFTs are going to be of immense use especially in validating ownership rights. NFTs contain the ownership details in encrypted form on a blockchain, which it makes easier to establish and validate the ownership.
NFTs removes the intermediaries that existed in conventional sale and buying of art forms and rare assets. The original owner has an exclusive control over his asset and it allows him to connect directly with his audience. It is just the ownership that gets validated through the blockchain. All this boosts transparency and discourages piracy and duplication.
NFTs can help in the diversification of ownership. Imagine a famous and a rare painting in physical form. It can be owned by a single person, as multiple ownership does not make any sense here. Now imagine the same painting in digital form and tokenised on a blockchain, it can be owned by many persons.
NFTs will pave way for metaverse. Many metaverse companies like Sandbox have many digital assets whch they sell as NFTs using metaverse relevant coins.
NFTs can help in providing values to intangible assets. for example, the CEO of twitter, Jack Dorsey sold his first tweet as an NFT. Selling a tweet was something that was not heard of in the conventional world.
Buying and Selling of NFTs is a new trend in virtual world, and it is witnessing an exponential upward trend. People mostly buy NFTs because of human psychology. People love buying and selling new forms of assets. Buying NFTs grants them authority, access and acceptance in this emerging virtual arena.
Buying and selling of NFTs has emerged as a full fledged business. People are buying NFTs as they have a firm belief in its underlying technology and see a long term value in them. Most of the buyers are well aware about the prospective uses of NFTs, and want to be the early players of the game.
Buying NFTs grants people exclusivity and social status. While on one hand, people faunt them by making them as their social media profile pictures, on the other hand, It helps people form clouts amongs their friends and other people, and form communities like Crypto Punks.
What are NFTs?
NFTs are a set of non-replaceable data that represents a digital asset on a blockchain. If you have any digital asset, that is rare, unique and can't be replaced by anyother thing. It is appended with a piece of code (identification code or token), which is then stored on a blockchain. This code helps in ascertaining the ownership of the digital asset and prevents its piracy and duplication.
Give some examples of Non Fungible Tokens?
Some examples of non fungible tokens are;
1. the first tweet made ever, which was sold as an NFT for millions of dollars.
2. Madhushala NFT collection, that was sold for rs 5.5 crore.

Bourgeois Ideology Caused the Great Enrichment
(p. A13) What accounts for the wealth and prosperity of the developed nations of the world? How did we get so rich, and how might others join the fold?
Deirdre McCloskey, a distinguished economist and historian, has a clarion answer: ideas. It was ideas, she insists–about commerce, innovation and the virtues that support them–that account for the "Great Enrichment" that has transformed much of the world since 1800.
. . . , this monumental achievement was caused by a change in values, Ms. McCloskey says–the rise of what she calls, in a mocking nod to Marx, a "bourgeois ideology." It was far from an apology for greed, however. Anglo-Dutch in origin, the new ideology presented a deeply moral vision of the world that vaunted the value of work and innovation, earthly happiness and prosperity, and the liberty, dignity and equality of ordinary people. Preaching tolerance of difference and respect for the individual, it applauded those who sought to improve their lives (and the lives of others) through material betterment, scientific and technological inquiry, self-improvement, and honest work. Suspicious of hierarchy and stasis, proponents of bourgeois values attacked monopoly and privilege and extolled free trade and free lives while setting great store by prudence, enterprise, decency and hope.

King Henry I Might "Have Liked Being Buried Under a Car Park"
(p. A4) LONDON — Looking for a dead medieval king? You might want to check under a parking lot.
That theory, at least, is on the minds of archaeologists and historians in Reading, about 40 miles west of London, who this week will begin searching for the high altar of the abbey founded by King Henry I. They believe that the altar — and, they hope, the king's remains — could be under the parking lot of a local prison, near the abbey ruins. The area around a nearby nursery school will also be searched.
Nearly four years ago, archaeologists discovered King Richard III's grave under a parking lot in Leicester, about 100 miles northwest of London, on the site of a former monastery.
John Mullaney, a historian who is part of the team undertaking the search, said that archaeologists knew "within a few yards" where Henry was probably buried. He said the team would use ground-penetrating radar to search the area around the prison, and around a nearby nursery school.
As to whether a former monarch would roll in his grave at the prospect of spending eternity under a parking lot, Mr. Mullaney was philosophical.
"I'm afraid that England is a nation of car drivers," he said. "We are a small country and most people travel by cars, so we need lots of car parks. Henry was a reforming king and would have been fascinated by the idea of cars and transport, and may well have liked being buried under a car park."

How Many Government Staff Members Does It Take to Change a Light Bulb in King Tut's Display Case?
(p. A7) The intense attention paid by experts to Tutankhamen's tomb has not always been matched by staff members at the run-down Egyptian Museum. In January the government said eight people at the state-run museum were being disciplined for their role in a botched repair job that caused minor but lasting damage to King Tut's golden burial mask.
The repair job was an attempt to correct the damage caused by workers who had accidentally knocked the beard from the 3,300-year-old artifact in August 2014 as they repaired a light fixture in its display case.

"We Can Fight Back When Our Lives Depend on It"
(p. A23) San Jose, Calif. — I'LL never forget the first piece of safety advice I got when I began my transition from the male body in which I was born to the female body I now occupy: Carry a whistle. If I was attacked, I was supposed to blow it in hopes it would alert some do-gooder to dash into a dark alley to break up a brutal hate crime.
The idea was not only preposterous, it was also insulting. The implication was that I, being transgender, wouldn't be able to save myself. But I didn't need a whistle; I had a gun.
Since the attack in Orlando, Fla., many L.G.B.T. groups have been calling loudly for laws restricting gun ownership. But if anyone should be concerned about protecting the individual right to bear arms, it's L.G.B.T. people. We need to stop preaching nonviolence and voting for politicians who don't protect us.
Violence toward L.G.B.T. people is real. We are victimized at far greater rates than other minority groups. We often face multiple assailants. The attacks are frenzied and quickly escalate from harassment, to fists, to something altogether different. People die.
If you find yourself in a violent encounter, you're lucky if you get three seconds to react. If you want to save yourself, you have to go on the offensive. And a whistle isn't going to cut it.
But every day, Americans use guns to defend themselves, and they don't even have to pull the trigger. The mere appearance of a firearm can save their life. Just last week, Tom G. Palmer, now a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, wrote in an op-ed article in The New York Daily News about an episode in his 20s when he flashed his pistol at a group of men who were threatening to kill him because he was gay — and they retreated.
This is a call to L.G.B.T. people to take their own defense seriously, and to question the left-leaning institutions that tell them guns are bad, and should be left to the professionals. Become a professional. You're allowed. That's what the Second Amendment is for. We can fight back when our lives depend on it.

Letter to a Crony Capitalist
(p. B4) . . . , an excellent read is "Dear Chairman: Boardroom Battles and the Rise of Shareholder Activism," by Jeff Gramm, owner and manager of the Bandera Partners hedge fund and an adjunct professor at Columbia Business School. This book explores the rise of activist investors like Carl C. Icahn and Daniel S. Loeb.
Mr. Gramm has collected a series of deliciously rich letters, many of which were never before published, sent to chief executives by investors by everyone from Warren Buffett to Ross Perot. They are eye-opening, often chilling and include fascinating lessons about business.
My personal favorite is this letter from Mr. Loeb to the chief executive of Star Gas Partners: "It seems that Star Gas can only serve as your personal 'honey pot' from which to extract salary for yourself and family members, fees for your cronies and to insulate you from the numerous lawsuits that you personally face due to your prior alleged fabrications, misstatements and broken promises. I have known you personally for many years and thus what I am about to say may seem harsh, but is said with some authority. It is time for you to step down from your role as C.E.O. and director so that you can do what you do best: retreat to your waterfront mansion in the Hamptons where you can play tennis and hobnob with your fellow socialites.

World Health Organization Praises Coffee, Reversing 1991 Warning
(p. A9) An influential panel of experts convened by the World Health Organization concluded on Wednesday [JUNE 15, 2016] that regularly drinking coffee could protect against at least two types of cancer, a decision that followed decades of research pointing to the beverage's many health benefits. The panel also said there was a lack of evidence that it might cause other types of cancer.
The announcement marked a rare reversal for the panel, which had previously described coffee as "possibly carcinogenic" in 1991 and linked it to bladder cancer. But since then a large body of research has portrayed coffee as a surprising elixir, finding lower rates of heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, neurological disorders and several cancers in those who drink it regularly.

Government Land Use Regulations Increase Income Inequality
(p. A1) . . . a growing body of economic literature suggests that anti-growth sentiment, when multiplied across countless unheralded local development battles, is a major factor in creating a stagnant and less equal American economy.
It has even to some extent changed how Americans of different incomes view opportunity. Unlike past decades, when people of different socioeconomic backgrounds tended to move to similar areas, today, less-skilled workers often go where jobs are scarcer but housing is cheap, instead of heading to places with the most promising job opportunities, according to research by Daniel Shoag, a professor of public policy at Harvard, and Peter Ganong, (p. B2 [sic]) also of Harvard.
"To most people, zoning and land-use regulations might conjure up little more than images of late-night City Council meetings full of gadflies and minutiae. But these laws go a long way toward determining some fundamental aspects of life: what American neighborhoods look like, who gets to live where and what schools their children attend.
And when zoning laws get out of hand, economists say, the damage to the American economy and society can be profound. Studies have shown that laws aimed at things like "maintaining neighborhood character" or limiting how many unrelated people can live together in the same house contribute to racial segregation and deeper class disparities. They also exacerbate inequality by restricting the housing supply in places where demand is greatest.
The lost opportunities for development may theoretically reduce the output of the United States economy by as much as $1.5 trillion a year, according to estimates in a recent paper by the economists Chang-Tai Hsieh and Enrico Moretti. Regardless of the actual gains in dollars that could be achieved if zoning laws were significantly cut back, the research on land-use restrictions highlights some of the consequences of giving local communities too much control over who is allowed to live there.
"You don't want rules made entirely for people that have something, at the expense of people who don't," said Jason Furman, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers.

Please give suggestions for a lurantis ,vileplume deck. Most likely with Pinsir and Shiinotic as well. Could someone formulate a decklist for me hopefully using these.
Asking for lists on here isn't allowed. You may provide your list and we can help you change it, but if we give you our lists, that doesn't help you any.
What @herpderp said, but TheCharizardLounge has and article on the deck so you may wanna try that.

Why CPAN Was Founded
Canada signed The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child November 20th 1989, before that children had no rights. The federal government were so committed to end child poverty that 4 days later they signed a unanimous resolution in the house of commons to 'End Child Poverty by the year 2000'
In 2000, the Child Poverty Report Card was released and figures showed that there was more child poverty in 2000 than in 1989, as no action was taken. Locally a number of agencies hosted several community meetings to inform the public on the status of child poverty in Renfrew County. At the same time, these agencies became more aware of the depth of child poverty in their own communities and felt that it needed to be dealt with at more than a case by case level. As a result, Renfrew County Child Poverty Action Network (CPAN) was born with the mandate to eliminate the effects of child poverty and to do so in a manner that was empowering and inclusive. We purposely wanted to focus on the word ACTION so that we did not have a group that only talked about child poverty, but rather a network that would have activities and actions that did something about it.
Since its inception the organization has been true to its roots. There have been many activities and actions and these continue to expand and be refined as we move forward and find more and more agencies and individuals who want to be a part of the solution. Our membership is increasing; currently membership stands at almost 600 individuals, with 62 agencies and organizations that are spread throughout Renfrew County, Ontario, and Canada. Members also come from every walk of life. If you would like to be part of the solution click here
CPAN is a grassroots network. Our membership consists of members from a wide range of social, economic, and geographic areas. There are many individual members as well as several agencies, organizations, and businesses that are members and support CPAN throughout the year. CPAN members contribute in many ways. There are no costs to become a CPAN member – the only requirement is the belief that child poverty must be eliminated. Each member is a resource to us; some members donate money, some donate their time in various ways, such as participating in meetings, becoming presenters and/or guest speakers, sitting on sub-committees, or helping with fundraising. Some members give ideas, provide important contacts and resources, share their skills and expertise, and others spread the word to raise awareness. Everyone has something to offer no matter how big or small. We believe that together we are able to accomplish anything!
CPAN is truly a diverse network. Our members range in age and profession and come from a variety of social and economic backgrounds, but all share a common goal, our commitment to eliminate child poverty, and to do so in an empowering and inclusive way.
CPAN is involved with a number of activities related to the elimination of child poverty and minimizing the effect that poverty has on children in need who live in Renfrew County. These activities fall under three categories; practical assistance, advocacy, and education.

Times, they are a changing. Gone are the days where women wait for their partners to gift them with diamonds and jewelry, instead, they are buying their own. A shift in the jewelry industry shows many women prefer to select and buy their own pieces for many different reasons.
The jewelry business began as a gift-heavy industry but is starting to shift as women skip the surprise and head for the jewelers themselves.
No one knows a woman quite like she knows herself. Rather than a simple diamond or a basic necklace, women are looking for jewelry that stands out and says something to their character and personality. Each woman has her own sense of style that might lead her to want to buy something to show off who she is, as she should!
As women climb the corporate ladder and find great success in all types of industries, they purchase jewelry to treat themselves and signify their successes. Women are independent, strong-minded, and successful people that work hard every day both professionally and personally. If they fall in love with a piece of jewelry, they're going to buy it for themselves: they certainly deserve it.
While women still appreciate the gift of jewelry on holidays and special occasions from loved ones, they often buy their own jewelry to celebrate a milestone or signify a memory. Women are using jewelry to commemorate trips, celebrate the birth of a new baby, celebrate a promotion, in honor of a holiday, and much more.
Women are no longer waiting to receive jewelry as a gift, instead, they are simply buying the jewelry they want when they want it.
If you are a woman looking for better fine quality vintage, modern jewelry, or antique and estate pieces, head to Frank Pollak and Sons in New York for fashionable necklaces, watches, earrings, and rings. With a commitment to only the finest jewelry offered at competitive prices, we can help you find a statement piece suitable to your personality and occasion.


Armacell's patented r-PET technology uses recycled PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles that are rejected for re-use by the PET recycling industry.
Armacell, a leading provider of engineered foams for the composites market, will reach the notable achievement of one billion recycled PET bottles during 2019. Passing this milestone would not have been possible without the sea change in customers from the energy/wind, transportation, and construction industries, among others, implementing the use of recycled PET foam core products.
Armacell launched r-Pet (recycled PET), the world's first foam cores made from 100% recycled PET, in 2010. Armacell's entire PET foam product portfolio is now based on this technology, supporting customers as they work to increase the use of sustainable advanced composite materials. Armacell's patented r-PET technology uses recycled PET bottles that are rejected for re-use by the PET recycling industry and converts the waste material into a high-quality resource, then feeds it back into the production cycle.

The Competition Commission of Singapore ("CCS") was established on 1 January 2005 to administer and enforce the Competition Act (the "Act") (Chapter 50B). On 1 April 2018, CCS was renamed the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore ("CCCS") and took on an additional function of administering the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (Chapter 52A). In relation to the Act, besides investigating and enforcing against practices that have an adverse effect on competition in Singapore, CCCS also represents Singapore in respect of competition matters in the international arena. In addition, CCCS has a statutory duty to advise the government or other public authority on national needs and policies in respect of competition matters generally.
The functions and duties of the CCCS are to:
(a) Maintain and enhance efficient market conduct and promote overall productivity, innovation, and competitiveness of markets in Singapore.
(b) Eliminate or control practices having adverse effect on competition in Singapore.
(c) Promote and sustain competition in markets in Singapore.
(d) Promote a strong competitive culture and environment throughout the economy in Singapore.
(e) Act internationally as the national body representative of Singapore in respect of competition matters and consumer protection matters;
(f) Promote fair trading practices among suppliers and consumers and enable consumers to make informed purchasing decisions in Singapore;
(g) Prevent suppliers in Singapore from engaging in unfair practices;
(h) Administer and enforce the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (Cap 52A); and
(i) Advise the Government, other public authorities or consumer protection organisations on national needs and policies in respect of competition matters and consumer protection matters generally.
These functions are supported by the various divisions in CCCS, which include the Business and Economics, Consumer Protection, Corporate Affairs, Enforcement, International and Strategic Planning, Legal, and Policy and Markets.
As part of its role as Singapore's competition authority, the CCCS also works with its foreign counterparts to promote competition by mitigating non-tariff barriers, building the necessary capacities and rendering technical assistance. The CCCS also cooperates with its foreign counterparts on cross-border competition matters. Such co-operation includes:
(a) Entering into agreements with foreign competition agencies, eg, negotiating FTAs with competition chapters to establish a level playing field for businesses.
(b) Forging strategic engagements with key foreign counterparts to foster closer cooperation in competition-related matters.
(c) Participating and contributing actively at the various international competition fora to shape the development and implementation of best practices in competition policy and law.
(d) Monitoring emerging competition trends and developments, and identifying international best practices, to operate a robust and enlightened competition regime in Singapore.
CCCS matters are usually handled by local counsel, but a Qualifying Foreign Law Practice ("QFLP") can also assist a client with CCCS matters in limited ways.
A QFLP can provide legal advice and make representations, including oral representations, on behalf of their clients for all matters before CCCS staff, but only (1) through lawyers registered under s 36B or s 36E of the Legal Profession Act (Cap 161, 2009 Rev Ed), and (2) strictly within the permitted areas of legal practice as provided under rule 4 of the Legal Profession (Regulated Individuals) Rules 2015. A QFLP should provide these details when they first contact the CCCS.
