A crise dos reféns de Gladbeck (conhecida na Alemanha como o drama dos reféns de Gladbeck) foi uma crise de pessoas feitas reféns (tomada de reféns) que aconteceu em Agosto de 1988 após um ataque armado a um banco em Gladbeck, Renânia do Norte-Vestfália, Alemanha Ocidental. Dois homens com antecedentes criminais, Dieter Degowski e Hans-Jürgen Rösner, andaram a fugir por dois dias pela Alemanha e Holanda.

A 18 de Agosto de 1988, a situação dos reféns foi encerrada durante uma operação policial na auto-estrada A3 (Bundesautobahn 3). Três pessoas morreram durante a crise, dois adolescentes que foram feitos reféns e um polícia envolvido num acidente de carro. Todo o episódio tornou-se um circo da mídia na Alemanha e na Holanda.

Crónica

16 de Agosto
De manhã cedo, dois criminosos armados e encapuzados invadiram uma agência da Deutsche Bank no distrito de Rentford-Nord em Gladbeck antes do horário de abertura do banco.

Às 8h04, uma chamada de emergência foi feita por uma testemunha da polícia. Um carro da polícia estacionado foi visto pelos infratores ao deixarem a sucursal. Eles voltaram para o banco e fizeram reféns dois funcionários, exigindo um carro e dinheiro de resgate, disparando várias vezes para o ar.

Uma estação de rádio foi a primeira a conduzir uma entrevista com eles enquanto a crise dos reféns estava a acontecer. Após várias horas de negociações, os sequestradores receberam 300.000 marcos alemães (aproximadamente 153.400 euros) e um Audi 100 branco como carro de fuga. Às 21h45 a fuga começou. Marion Löblich, a namorada de Hans-Jürgen Rösner (que era um dos ladrões), embarcou no carro em Gladbeck.

17 de Agosto
Depois de dirigir na autobahn para Bremen, os sequestradores pararam no distrito de Huckelriede e sequestraram um autocarro (ônibus) público com 32 passageiros às 19 horas do dia 17 de Agosto. A mídia entrevistou os sequestradores e os reféns sem qualquer interferência da polícia. Alguns reféns até tinham uma pistola pressionada contra a garganta.

Após a libertação de cinco reféns, o autocarro (ônibus) foi levado para a área de serviço da autobahn de Grundbergsee. Os dois bancários foram libertados lá.

Dois policias prenderam Löblich, que estava a usar a casa de banho (banheiro). Exigindo uma troca, Degowski e Rösner ameaçaram matar um refém a cada cinco minutos. Após o término do ultimato, eles atiraram na cabeça de um menino italiano de 14 anos, Emanuele De Giorgi. Dizia-se que ele estava a proteger a sua irmã. Löblich estava prestes a ser libertado pela polícia a pedido dos sequestradores, mas chegou tarde demais devido a uma chave da algema partida e à comunicação policial deficiente. Uma ambulância chegou 20 minutos depois, mas o adolescente baleado morreu duas horas depois no hospital.

Após este incidente, o autocarro (ônibus) foi levado para a Holanda. Durante a perseguição, um carro da polícia colidiu com um camião (caminhão), deixando um polícia morto e outro ferido.

18 de Agosto
Às 2h30 do dia 18 de Agosto de 1988, o autocarro (ônibus) entrou na Holanda. Às 5h15, duas mulheres e três crianças foram libertadas, depois da polícia holandesa se recusar a negociar enquanto as crianças estivessem sendo mantidas como reféns. Às 6h30, Rösner e Degowski ganharam outro carro, um BMW 735i. O carro de fuga havia sido preparado pela polícia para que o motor pudesse ser desligado por controlo remoto. Ao tentar escapar, Löblich e o motorista do autocarro (ônibus) ficaram feridos.

Quando pararam em Wuppertal, os sequestradores foram fazer compras a uma farmácia.

Depois de parar numa área de peões (pedestres) em Colónia às 10h30, o carro foi cercado pela mídia e compradores. Alguns repórteres ofereceram-se para orientar os sequestradores no seu caminho ou entregar-lhes fotos de polícias para evitar enganos em caso de troca de reféns. Um repórter, Udo Röbel, guiou os sequestradores até a uma área de descanso próxima na autobahn e os acompanhou por vários quilómetros.

Na A3 perto de Bad Honnef, poucos quilómetros antes da fronteira entre os estados de Renânia do Norte-Vestfália e Renânia-Palatinado, um carro da polícia atingiu o carro onde os sequestradores estvam às 13h40 e o imobilizou, desencadeando um tiroteio. Um dos reféns conseguiu sair do carro, no entanto, Silke Bischoff de 18 anos, foi mortalmente baleada no coração e morreu. Depois disso, os sequestradores foram presos.

O controlo remoto para desligar o motor do carro não foi usado, pois os polícias esqueceram-se de levá-lo. Do outro lado da fronteira do estado, uma força-tarefa especial (GSG9) estava em posição à espera para poder agir.

Julgamentos
No dia 22 de Março de 1991, Rösner e Degowski foram declarados culpados pelo tribunal superior regional de Essen e condenados à prisão perpétua. Löblich foi condenado a nove anos. Em 2002, o Tribunal Superior de Hamm determinou "culpa de natureza muito grave" e a sentença de Degowski foi aumentada para 24 anos. Em 2004, o mesmo Tribunal Superior recusou um pedido de liberdade condicional e um pedido de Rösner para encurtar sua pena. O tribunal também declarou um estado de "prisão preventiva" ("Sicherungsverwahrung") e, portanto, é improvável que Rösner seja libertado após o fim de sua pena.

Rescaldo
No dia 20 de Novembro de 1988, o Ministro do Interior de Bremen, Bernd Meyer, renunciou devido a erros da polícia. Vários anos após o incidente, houve uma discussão pública numa academia da polícia local sobre o incidente com o juiz que havia condenado Rösner e Degowski à prisão perpétua e jornalistas, incluindo Udo Röbel, um repórter que havia entrado no veículo com os sequestradores e ido com eles, dando-lhes instruções para sair de Colónia. O juiz elogiou Röbel por ter evitado um possível banho de sangue em Colónia entrando no carro. Esta não foi uma opinião expressa no relatório oficial sobre o incidente por um inquérito parlamentar no estado da Renânia do Norte-Vestfália, que fez comentários negativos sobre a ética dos jornalistas.

Conduta da mídia
Este foi o primeiro incidente na Alemanha com interferência direta de representantes da mídia. Os meios de comunicação foram severamente criticados pela sua manipulação desta situação e para a realização de entrevistas com os reféns (um dos jornalistas que agiram desta forma foi Frank Plasberg).

Como resultado, o Conselho de Imprensa Alemão (Deutscher Presserat) proibiu qualquer entrevista futura com sequestradores durante situações de reféns. O chefe do maior sindicato de jornalistas da Alemanha (DJV), Michael Konken, referiu-se ao incidente como "a hora mais negra do jornalismo alemão desde o fim da Segunda Guerra Mundial".

Libertação de Dieter Degowski
Em Agosto de 2018, foi anunciado pelo tribunal regional de Arnsberg que Dieter Degowski seria libertado em liberdade condicional após cumprir 30 anos de prisão.

Songs and tunes which reflect the turning of the seasons and the passing of the ritual calendar. The album has songs for each of the major seasons plus songs from the Sheffield Christmas tradition, the new year, Easter, and Whitsuntide. This is his third solo recording and is a testament to his consummate ability to stand alone as a singer and one of the best concertina players in the country. His obvious grasp, clear insight, and love, of the musical genre is simply a joy to behold. Many of the songs are Derbyshire based and display the pride that Keith has in being a Derbyshire mon.. He has always harboured a love of the ecclesiastical sounds and textures of carols and hymns and this is apparent in his choice of material for this album.

"Going public" via a process known as an preliminary public providing (IPO) implies that a part of the enterprise will probably be owned by members of the general public. This requires the group as a distinct entity, to disclose information to the public, and adhering to a tighter set of laws and procedures. Most public entities are firms that have sold shares, but increasingly there are additionally public LLC's that sell items (sometimes also called shares), and other extra exotic entities as properly, similar to, for instance, real estate investment trusts in the USA, and unit trusts in the UK.

Thailand's Ministry of public health is getting behind traditional medicine by increasing efforts to make the alternatives to modern medicines more accessible across the kingdom.
The project called the "Thai First action plan" is being spearheaded by the Minister of Public Health Dr Piyasakol Sakolsathayadhorn who has given out guidelines for systematically making traditional Thai herbal medications, asking for the Ministry of Industry and Science to encourage their use in place of modern pharmaceutical remedies.
Currently the ministry plans to promote the use of Thai traditional remedies and improve people's access to such medicines all across the kingdom.

It's not easy. According to a recent article in The Sydney Morning Herald, an internal audit of the state's transport agencies found significant gaps in internal controls of enterprise mobility and security. The government did not know who was using more than 6,200 mobile phone SIM cards, potentially putting government data at risk. What if sensitive data on these devices had fallen into the wrong hands?
In addition, more than 10,500 devices, including mobile phones and laptops, were not assigned to an individual cost centre. This oversight meant the lead agency, Transport for NSW, was picking up the bill for their use instead of the agencies actually responsible for using them.
The audit also estimated that the government could save approximately $600,000 a year by ensuring better oversight of technology used by the workforce at the state's transport agencies.
As the number of mobile devices in an organisation grows, the complexity involved in managing them also escalates. No longer is the most sensitive information on an employee's device their contact names and phone numbers. Depending on how your employees use mobile devices at work, unauthorised access to the information on an employee's smartphone could be just as damaging as a data breach of your computer system.
In terms of keeping control of your devices, in imei's experience, things start to get complicated at around the 50 mark. Organisations with upwards of 50 mobile devices in their fleet need to employ tools to manage and keep track of those devices. At this point, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain an accurate and up-to-date identity of the users and information and systems they access.
As your mobile fleet approaches or surpasses 50 devices, use this as an opportunity to batten down the hatches and mitigate the risk of sensitive information being accessed on unsecured devices.
imei can help your organisation ramp up internal controls, manage costs and reduce security risks by giving you greater visibility over your mobile fleet and other communications systems. With our tools and technologies, you can monitor, maintain, and secure access to company resources at all times.
By building an accurate snapshot and maintaining and securing all components of your mobility ecosystem, you can both secure and enable your employees' use of mobile devices for maximum competitive advantage.
For example, it's important to know how fully a device is protected against security threats such as phishing risks, and unsecured Wi-Fi networks. With imei Intelligence you can see security settings and take action where necessary to ensure security protocols are at their highest level and ensure your mobile devices are on the latest and most up to date operating system.
Likewise, when employees leave your organisation it's important to off-board them and their technology. This includes ensuring access to services is shut off and devices are appropriately decommissioned or wiped. Again, with imei Intelligence, you can see at a glance and take appropriate action.
By putting the right internal controls in place you could save significant costs while heightening mobile data security standards ensuring your people can take full advantage of mobile working. With an imei Intelligence service, our experts will put together recommendations for savings, performance improvements, and headroom for growth. So, just like the government, you can potentially realise significant savings just by putting the right controls in place.
If your organisation allows employees to access corporate data from mobile devices you need clear oversight. Book an obligation-free assessment of your communications environment with imei Intelligence service to gauge the gaps in your internal controls.
Don't become another statistic in OAIC's next quarterly report. Use our data risk calculator to assess data risk in your organisation and identify potential issues before they become costly problems.


If the IVIg is ordered to treat a medical condition which is funded under the Criteria for the clinical use of immunoglobulin in Australia (the Criteria) , then the product is supplied and funded under the national blood supply arrangements. In this case the cost of the product is shared between the Commonwealth and the relevant state or territory.
The Australian Red Cross Blood Service (Blood Service) is contracted by the National Blood Authority (NBA) as the authoriser and distributor of all IVIg funded under the national blood supply arrangements. Orders for IVIg are made through BloodNet . In seeking authorisation, the requesting medical officer will be asked to provide information to the Blood Service through BloodSTAR  to establish that the request meets the Criteria.
Access to BloodSTAR is only available through the BloodPortal . To register an individual account follow the process outlined in the instructions and tip sheets available here .
BloodSTAR has been designed to implement best practice privacy controls and is fully compliant with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cwlth) . For more information about the privacy controls in BloodSTAR, visit the BloodSTAR Privacy Controls  page.
When a clinician completes an authorisation request in BloodSTAR  the system will allocate either domestic or imported Ig product based on system rules. This allocation is based on a plan agreed between the Blood Service and the NBA, which is developed in consultation with IVIg user groups and states and territories. The allocation plan specifies the categories of medical conditions and patients who will receive domestic IVIg and the categories who will receive imported IVIg. This product choice can be changed by the requesting clinician or the Blood Service if deemed necessary.
The NBA does not manage individual requests to access immunoglobulin products outside of the conditions funded under the national blood arrangements as described in the Criteria for the clinical use of immunoglobulin in Australia (Criteria) .
For conditions not funded under the national blood arrangements, a medical officer may be able to seek access for immunoglobulin products through a jurisdictional direct order (JDO). The JDO arrangements allow hospitals to purchase the product directly from the supplier at an equivalent price to that negotiated by the NBA. If approved as per the arrangements in place in the relevant jurisdiction, the cost is borne directly by the Approved Health Provider.
If an entity is unsure whether it is an Approved Health Provider, it should contact the relevant state or territory health department to clarify this and ensure it is nominated as an Approved Health Provider to each supplier.
Approved Health Providers place orders for imported immunoglobulin directly with the supplier.
Purchases are paid for in full by the Approved Health Provider.
Upon placement of the order, a contract is established directly between the supplier and the Approved Health Provider for the supply of the immunoglobulin product.
*Note that some jurisdictions do not require providers to be approved each time to access immunoglobulin via the JDO process. If unsure you should contact the local health department or local hospital Drug and Therapeutics committee to ascertain the jurisdictional arrangements.
In circumstances where immunoglobulin cannot be accessed under the Criteria or JDO arrangements, it may be possible to access imported immunoglobulin directly from relevant suppliers on a commercial basis and at private expense.
Only imported immunoglobulin products are available under JDO arrangements. Domestic immunoglobulin products made from Australian plasma are restricted to treating indications listed within the Criteria under the national blood arrangements.
Products that can be supplied under JDO arrangements are listed on the following document.
Please contact the National Blood Authority on 13 000 IG GOV (13 000 44 468) or email IgGovernance@blood.gov.au .

The work of righteousness will be peace, and the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
Why are people filled with worry and anxiety? Today we will look at a couple of the major causes of worry in our lives.
First, some of the worry we experience is caused by a wrong value system. The Scottish preacher Alexander Whyte once talked about our tendency "to hang very heavy weights on very thin wires." For example, we hang the heavy weight of our happiness on our health, only to have that wire snapped by a bad report from the doctor. Or we hang the heavy weight of our security on our job, only to have it snapped by an economic downturn. Or we hang the heavy weight of our purpose in life on our family, only to have it snapped by a traffic fatality. We will always be filled with worry when we build our lives around things that can be taken away from us. Deep down, we know how tenuous those things are, and we have a low-grade worry that stays with us whenever we build our lives around those things. I think Jesus had more in mind than just money when He said, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal" (Matthew 6:19-20).
A second source of worry in our lives could be unconfessed sin. Whenever we willingly violate God's standard, we have a heavy anxiety as we expect God's discipline. When we know we are living apart from God, it produces dread and anxiety. Contrast that to the peace of mind that comes from righteousness. In Isaiah 32:17, Isaiah said, "The work of righteousness will be peace, and the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever." We see a contrast between unrighteous and righteous living in the story of Daniel. In Daniel 6, three commissioners manipulated King Darius into signing an edict prohibiting anybody from praying to anyone other than Darius. Daniel heard about the edict, but "he continued kneeling on his knees three times a day, praying and giving thanks before his God" (v. 10). Daniel had a peace that allowed him to continue praying to God despite the edict. Notice the contrast between Daniel's response and that of Darius. When Darius signed that edict that he knew violated God's command, he "went off to his palace and spent the night fasting, and no entertainment was brought before him; and his sleep fled from him" (v. 18). That is the difference between righteous and unrighteous living. Daniel's response was peace. Darius's response was anxiety, because he knew he was violating God's Word. Unconfessed sin can be a source of anxiety.

One of our passions at RE is to be a part of something bigger than ourselves.
We love working with and being a part of organizations and businesses whose vision is to better our world in some way or form. We have amazing products, like our Saphan line, that benefit the lives of the men and women who create them in Thailand. Products like the LQVE line are making an impact on the people in the refugee camps and the community of Cascade Pichon in Haiti. We even have employees who have been so privileged to go there and see first hand the work being done because of these products.
We are now honored to introduce to you our newest line called The Giving Keys.
I am SO excited about these keys. I was first introduced to them on my last trip to Waco to attend the VIP "Silobration" event with Fixer Upper's, Chip & Joanna Gaines.
On the way down we stopped in Oklahoma at a few places, and I stumbled upon these keys in the back of a store, sitting all alone.
The first key I touched was "breathe". You see, each key has a unique word on it. It allows the keys to have different meanings for different wearers. I knew my daughter needed this one. As soon as I touched it, I felt connected to her and the key. I bought it.
What's better is when we arrived in Waco and I was at the event I saw the keys again. Joanna's sister and niece where standing next to them and talking to people about them and how they are part of the Magnolia retail line.
When we returned to KC, I began the process of approval to have the keys at RE. Each key is handmade so the process takes several months. Our keys arrived a couple of weeks ago and they are stunning.
The mission of the key is to wear it awhile and when you find someone who needs it more, to pass it on. Their tagline is even "a pay it forward company." I am wearing one now that is reminding me to pray. Pray over many decisions and people each day.
I cannot wait to share this beautiful new line with you. I hope they will mean as much to some of you as they have to me. Come see us this weekend at First Friday's and let me show you "The Giving Keys".

Jenny McCarthy Recalls Her Time On 'The View' As The Most Miserable She's Been On A Job In All Her Career
Jenny McCarthy isn't holding back when explaining who made her time co-hosting on 'The View' a living nightmare.
Cindy Ord / Getty Images
Helen Storms
Jenny McCarthy parted ways with The View in 2014 after a year serving as a co-host. Now she claims she doesn't miss the show or her former co-hosts one bit. The 46-year-old got her start as a Playboy model and went on to become an actress, screenwriter, and television personality. She's taken on a lot of different gigs throughout her career but the time she spent on The View was the least pleasant for her. McCarthy candidly described her negative experience to author Ramin Setoodeh, who then wrote the upcoming book Ladies Who Punch: The Explosive Inside Story of The View. McCarthy held nothing back when criticizing her former co-hosts for turning her job into a nightmare, according to Fox News.
McCarthy passed up the opportunity to be on a CBS talk show in order to take the gig with The View because at the time, the show wanted to steer away from their focus on politics. McCarthy seemed to be the right woman for the job because she was on the younger side and would have the background knowledge of pop culture that Barbara Walters didn't have. Walters was then in the midst of her final year appearing on the show.
Despite the show's initial intention to cut back on the political talk, Donald Trump becoming president often served as the subject matter of many on-air discussions. McCarthy wasn't someone with much knowledge of the political side of things and struggled to quickly decide her stance on controversial political issues.
"Every day I went home and I was miserable. It really was the most miserable I've been on a job in my 25 years of show business."
Jenny McCarthy recalls being 'miserable' working with Barbara Walters on 'The View' https://t.co/FngzNYxSFA pic.twitter.com/c4GgZ5SUqS
— Page Six (@PageSix) March 20, 2019
It seemed that Walters wasn't too eager to welcome McCarthy on board, causing further pressure to be put upon the newest addition to the team. The model claimed that Walters would routinely critique her outfits and at times even ask her to change before the show if she didn't approve.
"Barbara would check out what I was wearing. If she didn't agree with it, or it didn't complement her outfit, I had to change. Mind you, she doesn't look at anyone's clothes but mine… I was a human Barbie doll."
While McCarthy wasn't Walters' biggest fan, she didn't particularly get along with Whoopi Goldberg either. She claimed Goldberg would hardly allow her to get a few words in before talking over her.
"I would be stepped on or interrupted. She had an addiction to controlling all of it and everybody," she said.

Low-emissivity (low-e) storm window attachments feature a low-e coating that helps minimize heating and cooling costs by reducing unwanted exterior heat gain and interior heat loss.
This technology is appropriate for use in small commercial buildings (20,000 sq. ft. or less) with low-performing existing windows, including: retail, office, federal buildings, dormitories, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, hotels and motels, and historic buildings.
Low-e window attachments significantly reduce air leakage and heat transfer by attaching to an existing window's interior or exterior and creating an insulating pocket of air between the windows. This minimizes heating and cooling costs by reducing unwanted exterior heat gain and interior heat loss.
While traditional storm windows can help reduce heat loss, their single pane of clear glass doesn't reduce air leakage as well as low-e models. And as newer low-e storm window attachments can be operable or fixed to match existing window function, they never have to be removed like traditional storm windows.
The illustration to the left demonstrates how low-e window attachments work with your existing window to create an insulating barrier. By affixing to an existing window frame, this window attachment offers a relatively easy installation when compared to full window replacement.
Reducing business energy use by 10 to 20 percent, low-emissivity (low-e) storm window attachments are a cost-effective, high-performance alternative to full window replacement for small commercial buildings. Low-e storm window attachments simply attach to the interior or exterior of a window for quick installation with minimal tenant disruption. At about one-third the cost of window replacement, this durable and consistent product comes with extended manufacturer guarantees.


The last item was a Portable Media Enclosure. I didn't wind up buying this, but I did wind up winning something even better: The Brite-View CinemaTube. (Thanks to Brite-View and Jen from The Dirty Shirt for running the giveaway.) The Brite-View can connect to an external hard drive (which I happened to have an extra of) via USB. It can also connect to your home network and/or the Internet via Ethernet or optional Wi-Fi adapter. I purchased the Wi-Fi adapter and set up the Brite-View.
I'll admit that my first impressions weren't all that great. I encountered two big problems. Problem 1 was that the remote had a lag to it. If you pressed a button, you had to wait about 30 seconds before pushing another button. I worked with Brite-View's customer support and finally realized that the problem was low battery charge in the remote control. Recharging the batteries overnight solved this issue.
Those problems aside, I love the Brite-View. As I said in my "drool" post last year, I hate having to swap out DVDs. First, I need to move the inevitable pile of toys that gather in front of the DVD cabinet's doors. Then I need to find the correct DVD. Then I need to put it in, keeping the case handy so I'll be able to put it away when the kids are done with it. Discs can easily get misplaced or lost in the stack of DVDs.
My new system is to convert the DVD to MPEG, store them on the external hard drive and let the Brite-View play them. Even better, the Brite-View allows me to set up video playlists so I can have The Wiggles, followed by 2 Max and Ruby videos and ending with Sesame Street. In other words, I can have hours of kid-entertainment without a single disc to swap. I can also play/view music files or photos or add them to the playlist, but honestly my main use is movie viewing.
The CinemaTube costs $99.99, or $119.99 for the CinemaTube and USB wireless adapter. At this price, it is well worth it. If I hadn't won it, I would have gladly paid for the functionality the CinemaTube has provided me.
this is a great media player and i have one too!
great customer service as you mentioned and i'm totally satisfied! strongly recommend brite-view cinematube … among other similar products, this manufacturer and device can't go wrong!

Mandala with Watercolor Tattoo by Allan F. Gois at Aliens Tattoo India. This one is really an exceptional and uncommon design that the client longed for and Allan knocked it off brilliantly. The fusion of a Mandala and watercolor is indeed a gorgeously deadly combination since the contrast is radiating. The colors have literally flourished over the black and grey Mandala design making it bewitching.


Although the novel is set in the future and filled with spaceships, aliens, and war games, Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game cannot be mistaken for any ordinary science fiction novel. Ender's Game is the story of Ender Wiggin, a child genius chosen to save the world. The military needs a brilliant commander to fight buggers, alien enemies who have previously come close to wiping out humanity. Before he can face the enemy, however, Ender must make it through Battle School, where he learns that hatred is not reserved for the buggers alone. Battle School is where the best and brightest are trained to be military commanders through participation in intricate war games. Card's writing allows the frenzied feel of the games to permeate the book, and Ender's trials accelerate as time begins to run out for humanity. Because Ender is the most brilliant military mind that Battle School has ever seen, his success earns him the resentment of most of his peers. He has only himself to rely on, although his small core of loyal friends is there for him in more ways than Ender knows.
By placing the fate of the world in the hands of a child, Card challenges traditional assumptions both about children and war. Ender may be small, but he thinks, feels, and acts like an adult, and an exceptional one at that. Ender's Game suggests that both compassion and ruthlessness are necessary features in a leader, and much of the story is the interaction between these two features of Ender's personality. A child, convinced that he is alone in the universe, holds the fate of a planet in his hands. There are adults actively involved in every step of Ender's training, and they view their manipulation of him (and the other children) as an unavoidable evil. Ironically, sometimes the children are the manipulators and sometimes they are manipulated. Card never lets us forget the keen insight and understanding of human nature that children have, nor does he miss their inherent fragility. Ender, although sometimes superhuman in ability, does not cease to be a child. Card's characters, regardless of their age or intelligence, are human in their needs and desires. Jealousy, pride, hatred, loyalty, and friendship are integral parts of the human condition, but in Ender's Game the stakes are at once both the humanity of the individual and the survival of the species.

Q: Not sure how these two options are different in interpreting $\lim_{x\to a} f(x) = L$ I came across a multiple choice question asking "What do we mean when we write $\lim\nolimits_{x \to a} f(x) = L$?" The only two of the four answers that made sense are

*

*As $x$ gets closer to $a$, $f(x)$ gets closer to $L$.

*We can make $f(x)$ as close as we like to $L$, by choosing $x$ closer to $a$.

Using the precise definition of a limit, I knew that the answer was 2., but I am unsure how these two answers are different.
The only thing that I could come up with is that option 1. has to do with continuity, for $x$ getting closer to $a$ is not sufficient to conclude that $f(x)$ gets closer to $L$, unless $L=f(a)$, but I'm not sure.
Edit: I added $L=f(a)$ in the last sentence of the preceding paragraph.

A: They are different. Because the first statement only says we're getting closer, but not as close as we want (see Example 1). Moreover we can get as close as we want without constantly getting closer (see Example 2, in which $L=f(a)$).
Let me explain with an example:
Example 1. Let $f:[0,1]\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ be the function $f(x)=x$. Now if $L=1$, $a=1$ both statements hold.
However you can now take $L=2$. I claim that the first statement hold, but the second doesn't.
Indeed, the first holds. Since $f(x)$ is monotonically increasing, it gets larger as $x$ gets closer to $1$. In particular as $x$ gets closer to $1$, $f(x)$ get closer to $L=2$. Formally, $|2-f(x)| = 2-x$ decreases as $x$ gets closer to $1$.
On the other hand, the second property doesn't hold. Because no matter how close you get to $1$, $f(x)$ will always be at least $1$ point far from $L=2$.
If you take $L=f(a)$ the statements still don't mean the same thing (the first one would imply continuity but it is much stronger).
Example 2. For instance consider
$$f(x) = \begin{cases} x & \text{there is no } n \text{ s.t. } x=1-\frac{1}{n}\\ 1 & \text{if }  x=1-\frac{1}{n} \end{cases}$$
Take $L=f(1)=1$. Then the second statement holds, but the first doesn't. Because $f(\frac{1}{2})=1$, and if $x=\frac{98}{100}$ then $f(x)=\frac{98}{100}\not = 1$. Clearly the value $f$ gives to $\frac{1}{2}$ is closer to $1$ then the value it gives $\frac{98}{100}$ even though $\frac{98}{100}$ is closer to $a=1$.

A: Both of the statements are defective. In 1.) you do not need to get arbitrarily close to $L$, as is necessary for a limit, and in 2.) one can not exclude that there are multiple values for $L$ that $f(x)$ gets close to for $x$ approaching $a$. For instance in $f(x)=\sin(1/x)$  you can chose $x$ arbitrarily close to $a=0$ so that $f(x)$ is equal to any value in $[−1,1]$.

Under the assumption that the "dynamics" of "getting closer" includes that the distance has to go to zero, the first variant seems to be more correct. A more formal formulation of the dynamical statement would be that the sets of function values $f((a-δ,a+δ)\cap D_f)$ gets more concentrated around $L$ the smaller $δ$ gets, the radius shrinking to zero.
The second variant in my view describes a limit value, that is, the sets $f((a-δ,a+δ)\cap D_f)$ need not concentrate around $L$, they just need to all contain $L$ in their closure, the radius of the sets can remain above some positive bound.

Or in still other words, in the sequential interpretation of the limit, the first condition demands that $f(x_k)\to L$ for all $x_k\to a$, while the second condition only demands that $f(x_k)\to L$ for at least one sequence $x_k\to a$.

A: The reason the second definition is better is primarily because of sets other than $\mathbb{R}$ limits can exist in any sets that have distance measures. If you think about for example $\mathbb{R^2}$ getting closer to a number doesn't mean the same thing as in $\mathbb{R}$ In $\mathbb{R}$ it is very simple to think about following a point along a function to infinity to approach a point but this is more complicated in other dimensions as there is not necessarily a set path to follow.
Another issue with the first definitions is discontinuities that aren't related to the limit. For example $\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{1}{x}=0$ but if you look at the left side of the y-axis and try to follow the function you would be justified saying that the limit is $-\infty$ since as you move x closer to $\infty$ it gets closer to $-\infty$
The third reason is that it doesn't say anything about how close, like in my last issue while $\frac1x$ might approach 0 as it goes to $\infty$ it also gets closer to $-1$ and really any negative number.

A: The second answer would be the more correct of the two.
The reason is because of the notion of "arbitrary closeness."
The limit of a function $f(x)$ as $x \to a$ exists and is equal to $L$ if and only if given any $\epsilon > 0$, we can find another number $\delta$ for which whenever $x$ is within a $\delta$-neighborhood of $a$, it necessarily follows that $f(x)$ is within the associated $\epsilon$-neighborhood of $L$.
The $\delta$, however, is not a universal $\delta$. If you change $\epsilon$ we may need to recalculate $\delta$, but we are assured that such a $\delta$ exists by the underlying definition of limit.

Charges relating to a pay-to-play scheme involving state pension plans were announced by U.S. Attorney General for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara at noon Wednesday.
The charges are against former portfolio manager at the New York State Common Retirement Fund, Navnoor Kang, and two brokers — Deborah Kelley and Gregg Schonhorn.
The suit also claims that Kang used his position of power to "promote the interest of Kelley and Schonhorn, and their respective firms." Kang allegedly steered "more than $2 billion in fixed-income business," to Kelley and Schonhorn's respective companies.
Kang currently works as the Chief Strategy Office for Fair Observer, a San Francisco-based nonprofit media organization. He began his career as an analyst for Goldman Sachs.
Accompanying the attorney general at the noon press conference were Special Agent-in-Charge of the New York Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, William F. Sweeney, and Director for the Division of Enforcement for the Securities and Exchange Commission, Andrew Ceresney.

If both the stat and bulb went then it sounds like a bum stat. I've had a number of bulbs running through stats blow over the years and never had one take out the stat as well. Checked the rest of your wiring? Couldn't be the timer (if you're using one) could it?

So, Elon Musk now officially owns Twitter
On October 27th, Tesla CEO and billionaire Elon Musk finally completed his $44 billion purchase of the social media giant Twitter. While the move has been met with a few criticisms, many at large view the acquisition as a positive development for Web3. This is especially so as the billionaire has always been vocal about fighting spam bots and integrating crypto payments into the platform.
How the Twitter deal came about
Initially announced in April, the Twitter acquisition was not all rosy, as it hit multiple roadblocks along the way. At one point, the social media company even adopted a "poison pill" to protect itself from the second-biggest shareholder's billion-dollar buyout offer.
Things were going back and forth until Musk threatened to pull out from the deal over claims that Twitter wasn't transparent about the number of bots using the platform. As a result, the Twitter board at the time lashed out and filed a lawsuit against him in a bid to close the transaction.
With that, it didn't take too long for the business mogul to change his mind. Earlier this month, Musk proposed moving forward with the purchase at the original price of $44 billion, or $54.20 per share. The deal - finalized on October 27th - saw the company going private as shares of Twitter were suspended from trading after Thursday's close at $53.70.
On the same day, Musk posted a video of him walking into Twitter headquarters with a sink. The video was captioned: "Entering Twitter HQ – let that sink in!" The SpaceX boss has since tweeted an open letter to share his motivation behind the acquisition and retweeted photos of him meeting employees at the Twitter HQ coffee bar.
Following his takeover, Musk went on to fire Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal and CFO Ned Segal, according to CNBC, citing people familiar with the matter. Even so, DOGE, the wildly popular meme coin associated with the billionaire, has rallied more than 79% since Thursday's open at $0.07265. The token is currently trading at around $0.13050, according to TradingView.
The billionaire's crypto plans for Twitter
Now that the Twitter acquisition is done and dusted, many are looking forward to what radical changes the new Chief Twit will bring to Twitter. After all, Musk has always been a strong proponent of cryptocurrency and freedom of speech which aligns with Web3 ethos that emphasizes the importance of identity, ownership, and community in the space.
A day after his takeover, the platform introduced "NFT Tweet Tiles", a new blockchain feature under development that allows users to buy and sell non-fungible tokens (NFTs) through Twitter. In essence, NFT Tweet Tiles will showcase NFT images via tweets with details, including the artwork title, creator name, and an option to view the digital collectibles on marketplaces. Rarible, Magic Eden, Dapper Labs, and Jump Trade are the participating NFT marketplaces in this initiative. Given Musk's long-time hate for digital JPEGs, the Tweet Tiles feature certainly comes as a surprise to many NFT enthusiasts.
Besides that, the Tesla boss is reportedly working to promote freedom of speech on one of the biggest social media platforms in the world. According to Musk, that doesn't mean Twitter will become a "free-for-all hellscape", as content moderation still needs to be in place, and freedom of speech should always adhere to the "laws of the land".
To kick things off, the new Chief Twit announced yesterday that Twitter would form a content moderation council of members with widely diverse viewpoints. He added that no major content moderation policy changes would occur before the panel convenes.
The SpaceX boss also discussed plans to introduce fiat currency and cryptocurrency payment features into Twitter. While details are scant, the charismatic billionaire suggested that payments would help "maximize the usefulness of the service", making the platform "so compelling that you can't live without it". Of course, with his ongoing love affair with Dogecoin, it wouldn't be surprising if Twitter eventually enabled payments in DOGE.
Just so you know, Twitter added bitcoin tipping in 2021 under ex-CEO Jack Dorsey before adding ether wallets to the feature earlier this year. The company also became the first to try out a new program by payments processor, Stripe, which announced a USDC payment feature via Polygon in April.
Apart from a new payment feature, let's not forget about bots elimination - one of the biggest priorities that Musk has promised to work on after buying Twitter. The social media platform is currently infested with bots, which often trick crypto and NFT users into clicking malicious links. Even Twitter's "blue check" mark is not helping, as a number of accounts have been able to impersonate verified users such as Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin, Binance CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk himself. In fact, Musk was also one of the high-profile Twitter accounts hacked in a massive Bitcoin-related scam in 2020.
With that in mind, the billionaire proposed making Twitter's anti-bot algorithms open to public review in June. There are also plans in place to add an optional paid-tier service for people to prove their authenticity - similar to the Sybil-resistant mechanism in crypto. Speaking of which, a new promising type of NFT called soulbound tokens is reportedly geared toward such an application. However, Musk hasn't shown much interest in integrating such technology with Twitter so far. The possibilities are endless, for sure. Though it remains unclear how Musk will carry out his crusade against bots, with details yet to be ironed out.
On the whole, Musk's $44 billion takeover of Twitter is being hailed by many as a win for the Web3 community. With so many crypto and NFT proponents showing high hopes for what's to come from the new Chief Twit, it remains to be seen if Musk will live up to his promises to make Twitter a safer and more enjoyable experience not just for the crypto-savvy users, but also for the general public at large.

LONDON/ZUG, Switzerland, May 16 (Reuters) - Glencore Xstrata Chairman John Bond surprised investors on Thursday by announcing he had been voted out of the top job at the miner and trader at the group's first annual shareholders' meeting.
Bond gave no explanation, but as the meeting began in Zug, Switzerland, he handed responsibility for chairing the gathering to former BP boss Tony Hayward, the company's senior independent director.
The results of the shareholder vote are due to be published by Glencore shortly.
A veteran of London's financial sector who was formerly chairman of miner Xstrata, Bond agreed last November to stand down once Glencore and Xstrata merged, quitting after coming under fire over a 140 million pound ($223 million) "golden handcuffs" package for key Xstrata managers.
But he had been due to leave only after a replacement was found and his abrupt ousting is likely to raise questions over governance at the company, whose shares are still largely held by its top managers.
Glencore was widely criticised for its appointment of Hong Kong veteran and former legionnaire Simon Murray as chairman at the time of its stock market listing, as analysts and investors questioned whether he would act as a sufficient counterpoint to CEO and top shareholder Ivan Glasenberg.
Murray was replaced by Bond after the merger.


Modeling shallow-water waves in a basin with a finite length and width introduces challenges related to low-frequency (LF) waves, especially for testing of moored vessels with long natural periods. Waves in this frequency range are also present in reality, as for instance bound set-down waves and unbound free waves formed by the geometry bathymetry. In model basins, additional unwanted LF wave components will be formed as a side-product of the wave generation and due to the basin geometry though. Standing waves over the basin length and width (basin modes) can generally be identified, which are difficult to dampen using beaches. This is the case for every wave basin, as they all have finite dimensions. Figure 1: Overview of the Offshore Basin (L50xB36 m, movable floor between 0-10 m, wavemakers on 2 sides) Moored structures generally have natural frequencies in the LF range, which may be excited by basin modes with similar frequencies. It is therefore important to understand the natural modes of a basin before tests with moored structures in shallow water are done. The energy of these basin modes increases and their natural frequency decreases with decreasing water depth (waves travel slower in shallow water). Generally, it can be said that the issues with basin modes are present on very shallow water (typically ~15-30 m water depth full-scale for structures with a length around 200 m at a scale around 1 to 40). The smaller the basin for the same water depth, the higher the basin mode frequencies and the higher the likelihood of resonance problems. The energy and frequencies of the basin modes and their relevance for specific tests depend on the effective length and width of the basin, the water depth, wave conditions and the (mooring stiffness of) the structure under consideration. The influence of these variables is evaluated in the current study. Tests were done in MARIN's Offshore Basin (OB), but most of the results are also expected to be applicable to other basins. The observed basin mode frequencies during these tests were compared to the theoretical values, and an overview of the unwanted LF wave content as a function of water depth, wave height and period is presented. The energy and shape of individual basin modes is also discussed. Considering these results, a practical approach for future basin projects on shallow water is described.

Does the forum software support polls?
Sorry I can not see where you can create a poll but I might have something turned off in the user panel that I do not know about.
Is it part of the attachment area ie a certain file needed?
How about the load area light turning off when the car is locked, like the other interior lights?
Ok thanks to ChrisMiller's suggestion it would appear the mods can create a poll which I am hoping Phevy will set one up for us so we can work out what suggestions are most popular and it will not be just left up to me to decide which ones look to be the most popular and then put on that list.
Now we have time as I am only trying to work with MMC at the moment on those drive battery items on the list. I am sorry if that appears selfish of me but I have been trying to sort them out for awhile and I just want to finish them off once and for all.
But I will work through that list as quickly as I can.
Don't you have a "middle" setting? If I remember mine is "Off","Auto","On"
I had to split it in two, as a poll can only have 10 items.
I would like to be able to lock the vehicle and leave the A/C on a set temp. for these reasons 1. Running errands. 2. Leaving dog in car.
Edit: I know it can be done using correct lock settings (unlock driver door only) then locking all doors then exiting vehicle and using the actual key to lock drivers door but this is a PITA.
I'd like to be able to swap units from miles to kilometres, when passing from UK to Europe.
Much easier for adhering to speed limits, which they seem to be tightening-up on now.
Hey, just say thank you from me.

A PLACE WITH A SOUL
and deep roots in city history
Almarossa is housed in a handsome five-story redbrick structure dated back to the 1920s.
While recent renovations have allowed for many updates for modern convenience and comfort, the interior design maintains many of the original elements inspired to a simple Liberty style.
The historical neo-Gothic structure is visible and emphasized in the exterior facade, typical of Bologna in the early twentieth century. This feature bears witness to the city's transformation during that time.
The building is located inside the city walls, walking distance from Central Station in an area brimming with restaurants and attractions. Almarossa resides at a well-known intersection: via Mascarella, the heart of one of the most popular and picturesque quartiers, and via Irnerio, which connects the city center with the University district.
Almarossa invites travelers to explore the celebrated attractions of Bologna, an Italian city known for its art and culture, business meetings, fairs and shopping. A food capital and a reputed center of learning and knowledge.
Main Features of Almarossa
Fully furnished rooms, serviced studios, and suites of different sizes
Modern features providing comfort, service, and safety (climate control, free Wi-Fi, wide screen TV, access control, CCTV, fire alarm system, etc.)
Pay parking in the vicinity with no need to advance book
An ideal location to stay and discover the city, whether for business or leisure
This particular area of the city was a lower-class district that bordered a community garden in the late 1800s . Today, this area is dedicated to the Botanical Garden and Herbarium of the University . The building is linked to the city's transformation, which can be seen in its architecture. In particular, Almarossa embodies the completion of the front of Via Irnerio, which began in 1889 and completed in the second half of the 20th century.
Source of the image is the catalog of the Exhibition "Norma e arbitrio" Architects and Engineers in Bologna 1850-1950, 2001 Civic Museum.
This refurbishing of the area at that time was a process of gentrification, where older and poor buildings were replaced with more prestigious ones. For instance, the beautiful building across the street from Almarossa, on the opposite side of the corner, is the Sanguinetti house, which is dated back to 1907.
The construction of Almarossa started in 1926 and continued for the following 2-3 years.

Actors must continually coordinate in order to achieve an objective, given the social distribution of relevant problem solving and political resources. We saw earlier how central government policy actors seeking the deployment of more renewable energy depend upon the technological and financial resources of others. This requires human resources in the form of a skilled workforce (whose training is led by others still), organisational resources in the form of clear and straightforward planning procedures (administered by local councils), and the legitimate authority (the political resources that come through a popular mandate) to bring all these elements together through policy reforms. Clearly, there are many resource interdependent actors involved in renewable energy governance.
Each actor will wish to retain sufficient autonomy to influence the outcomes favourably for them. Not everyone approaches sustainable energy policy from the same starting position; neither do they see this world nor more sustainable ones in the same way. Obviously, different actor framings will perceive the policy 'object' and its boundaries differently. The primary concern for the UK Sector Skills Council involved in training plumbers, for example, is the skills set required for qualification into the trade, rather than a specific piece of technological hardware like solar water heating. Energy technology developers, such as marine power ventures or farmers' associations interested in diversifying into biomass, will each have their core competencies and marketing goals. They will argue for the inclusion of their technology in the prospective support systems sought by policy initiatives. Economic regulators, such as Ofgem in the UK, will consider sustainability policy through their particular economic regulatory frameworks and assess and recommend changes accordingly.
Sustainable energy governance consequently has to be sufficiently flexible that it can convince everyone from venture capitalists to low-income households to conceive their interests differently and deploy their resources towards the new sustainability goal. Some will be convinced more readily than others, and will change their behaviour with greater enthusiasm and to a larger degree. Others will not buy into the new vision, and might need to be brought into line more forcefully, for example through regulation and punitive enforcement. Sustainable energy governance will have to undertake conflict resolution activity, as well as reaching consensus where possible.
Existing material interdependencies shape this challenge. Wilks and Wright (1987, pp. 4-5) have noted in industrial policy that 'each player's room for decisional manoeuvre on an issue is constrained by the material and intellectual resources available to him, appropriate to that issue and which he is prepared to use, and by those possessed by other players, who may perceive their own interests differently'. Possessing key resources helps one wield influence in governance, but only to the extent that other (differently) resourced actors are persuaded or compelled to continue their engagement accordingly, and to the extent to which one is dependent upon the resources of others. The basis upon which resources are exchanged (be they financial, economic, technological, authoritative, legal, informational, organisational, legitimising, or other) requires building trust and the negotiation of informal and formal rules of the game among participants.
Yet because resource interdependencies need not be symmetrical, indeed often they are not, the basis for negotiating rules of exchange, or forming common views and strategies, does not take place among equals; some resourceful actors are more powerful than others. The energy utilities that own energy assets, like power stations, distribution infrastructures and research capacity, hold obvious important resources for new energy technology deployment. Their technological capabilities make them an important partner for government initiatives such as energy R&D programmes, and utilities consequently have considerable influence over ensuing research agendas and strategies. Any transition to a new, sustainable energy system will have to negotiate with these businesses, not least because it will be important to maintain levels of energy service even while the basis of their provision is altered radically. Similarly, those with the constitutional authority to regulate the system hold important negotiating positions and consequently have an important role in rethinking regulation for a sustainability transition.
In other words, amidst all this complexity there are still regular relations and outcomes that are explainable through power, which derives from commanding important resources. Resourceful actors exercise influence over the shaping of policy agendas, thereby defining what a 'reasonable' position is in debates framed in this way. Given the need to start from existing governance arrangements, these interdependencies inevitably privilege incumbent actors. They enjoy an important gate-keeping position for any attempts to radically alter aspects of the energy system, such as fiscal rules, market structures, infrastructure access and development, skills provision, and technology choice.

This is something I do with my students in my winter survival classes and quite frequently in my backyard when the snow is coming down. It is -1 degrees today in Flagstaff so it seemed like a good time to practice. It's one thing to start a survival fire under controlled conditions during a camping trip or when your body is in good shape but quite another when you are dealing with hypothermia and the reduced motor-skills that accompany it.
1. Place your hands in the snow for 2 minutes then 2) grab your different firemaking tools and try to ignite your tinder. Simple as that. 99% of the time the spark rod is my tool of choice as it requires gross motor skills unlike a lighter or matches and works when wet. Good luck trying to get a lighter going when you're all thumbs. Tinder is in the top pics. For my friends in Phoenix, get a bowl of ice cubes!
Since the majority of hypothermia cases happen in 50 degree F weather around the world and since most lost dayhikers are injured and hypothermic, it pays to build your skills and accompanying trail gear around the fact that you may have reduced motor-skills.

Vivo Pro Kabaddi League Season 8: Patna Pirates share points with Tamil Thaliavas
Bengaluru, 6 January: Patna Pirates and Tamil Thalaivas shared points after they played out a 30-30 draw in the Vivo Pro Kabaddi League Season 8 at The Sheraton Grand, Whitefield Bengaluru on Thursday.
Monu Goyat scored 9 for the Pirates while Ajinkya Pawar came off the bench to score 12 points for Thaliavas. Both teams went into the match on unbeaten streaks and matched each other in an intensely-contested Kabaddi match.
It was raining tackle points the entire half with Pirates' all-rounders also chipping in with tackles and assists. Monu Goyat was the stand-out star for the three-time champions Pirates, picking up difficult points against a well-drilled Tamil Thalaivas defence.
Pirates' players, capable of defending and attacking, made it difficult for Thalaivas to target any weaknesses. The Patna Pirates clinched their first ALL OUT in the last minute of the first half which finished 18-12 in favour of the men in green.
Ajinkya Pawar's introduction provided much need sharpness to the Tamil raiding unit. His 2-point raid early in the second half set the tone for the Thalaivas who went on to get an ALL OUT in the 8th minute. Ajinkya Pawar also clinched his Super 10 as Thalaivas opened a 2-point with 10 minutes remaining.
Pirates stayed in the game, with two crucial reviews ensuring they stayed within touching distance from the Tamil Thalaivas. Iranian Mohammadreza Shadloui ensured they stayed focused with body blocks and dashes. The scores were 30-30 with one minute left in the match and the teams decided to safeguard the three points (for a tie) rather than go for the win.

Nets Sign DeAndre Jordan To Play With Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant
By: Zachary Diamond
The Brooklyn Nets signed center DeAndre Jordan on June 30.
While most of the Brooklyn Nets offseason buzz has been centered around obvious candidates Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, the team made another important move that has flown a little more under the radar. The Nets acquired 11-year veteran DeAndre Jordan to play center for the team next season.
If it seems like DeAndre Jordan has been playing awhile, it's because he has. Jordan's first season was 2008-2009 when he was 20 years old. Jordan spent 10 years with the Los Angeles Clippers, part of the very good Blake Griffin and Chris Paul "Lob City" team.

Jordan led the NBA in rebounding two years in a row, averaging 13.6 and 15 rebounds a game during the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 seasons. He won First Team All-Defensive back to back years, during the 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 seasons. Jordan led the NBA in field goal percentage five seasons in a row, starting in 2012-2013.
Following the 2017-2018 season, Jordan opted out of his deal with the rebuilding Clippers. He signed a 1-year deal worth $24.1 million with the Dallas Mavericks. However, his expiring contract was part of the Mavericks trade for Kristaps Porziņģis, and he was shipped to the New York Knicks. Overall, in 2018-2019, Jordan averaged 11 points and 13.1 rebounds per game, at the age of 30.
In June 2019, it was announced that Jordan signed a 4 year/ $40 million dollar contract with the Brooklyn Nets. NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted: "Free agents Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are taking less than the max to allow DeAndre Jordan to get the $10M annual salary with Brooklyn, league sources tell ESPN."
While Jordan probably could have gotten a better deal on the open market, Jordan, Durant, and Irving made it work so they could all play together. Jordan wanted to stay in New York, just in a different borough.

Jordan has started every game he's played since the 2011-2012 season, but the Nets have a talented young 21-year-old center in Jarrett Allen. Allen averaged 26.2 minutes per game last season, starting 80 games for the Nets. Brooklyn's head coach Kenny Atkinson hasn't committed to starting either player yet and is encouraging competition between Allen and Jordan in training camp.
In regards to the starting center competition, in an interview with BrooklynNets.com writer Tom Dowd, Atkinson said, "I look at it as our biggest strength. We have real depth there and we have real choices there. I hope that makes sense. Sure, it's competitive. Those are two competitive guys. The problem is they both played really, really well today. It's two really good players. It will evolve. It always plays itself out. Yeah, I think those guys both know that they're competing for something."
In his age 31 season, Jordan does not have the starting center role locked down. As I said in an earlier article about Allen, I would prioritize the 21-year-old's development over Jordan, who is 10 years older than Allen. While Jordan has been getting over 30 minutes a night for most of his career, he will probably play a similar amount of minutes to Allen and play roughly 25 minutes a night. Regardless of who starts, the Nets have a lot of talent at the center position this upcoming season, and Jordan should be able to continue his double-double streak.
