Here's The New Cardi B Song That Everyone Is Talking About Right Now
By Jorge Rodriguez-Jimenez July 27, 2017 at 5:14 pm
"I used to live in the P's / Now it's a crib with a gate."
Reality TV star-turned-rapper Cardi B is making a name for herself through hard work and being true to herself. It's no secret that misogyny is prevalent in the rap community. In fact, rapper and record label empresario Rick Ross recently said he can't sign women to record deals because he would end up "f-cking the female rapper." So it isn't too surprising that Cardi B decided to forge her own path into the industry.
Her latest song, "Bodak Yellow," has been blowing up lately and people are here for it. On "Bodak Yellow," Cardi B boasts about pulling herself up and making a name for herself in the rap industry: "Look, I don't dance now / I make money moves / Say I don't gotta dance / I make money move." The music video accompanying the song was posted to YouTube on June 24 and is already nearing 19 million views.
In the video, you see Cardi B in several different settings: lounging on the steps of a mansion with a cheetah, riding a camel in the desert and sitting at a VIP booth at a club with $100 bills raining around her. Apparently, that's how you let all the haters know that you've come up.
On the iTunes chart, "Bodak Yellow" just passed "Despacito" and that's kind of a big deal.
Number 4 my lucky number …THANK YOU EVERYBODY I LOOOVEEESSSSS YALL ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A post shared by Cardi B Official IG (@iamcardib) on Jul 26, 2017 at 7:39pm PDT
"Despacito" has been on everyone's minds and even broke the global streaming record, racking up around 4.6 billion streams.
People are so loving Cardi B's song that some are already considering it one of the songs of the year.
Bodak Yellow is one of the hardest songs of 2017 and I don't care what anyone else has to say about it
— Trevor Norris (@trevor_norris0) July 27, 2017
The beat is pretty sick. Even if you don't like rap, something about this song just draws you in.
Cardi is even being hailed as the female rapper of the moment.
Bodak Yellow is better than anything Nicki Minaj has released in the last 5 years.
— . (@CAWBBBB) July 23, 2017
Ooof. You better hope Nicki doesn't see this. We don't need another 2015 VMA moment.
It is literal poetry to so many ears.
I really don't see a difference between Bodak Yellow, & Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou.
— Dean. (@OmarDeanII) July 23, 2017
Mind. Blown.
Some people have reported that the song makes their bodies do strange things.
I am not responsible for what happens when bodak yellow comes on. Might just smack a hoe by accident, on purpose.
— Rockii. (@RockiiRoadd) July 25, 2017
Damn. This song must be lit to cause all of that.
It is *unofficially* being named the NYC anthem of the summer.
2014 – Shmurda
2015 – Milly Rock
2016 – Ooouuu
2017 – Bodak Yellow https://t.co/cEAd5umxvF
— Ira ?? (@Bluyankee) July 25, 2017
This song is literally making people speechless and that is a beautiful thing.
literally screamed every word from bodak yellow every single time they played it last night. now i have no voice. smh

This Is The Trippiest Commercial I've Seen But Somehow Cardi B And Reebok Make It Work And I Can't Stop Watching
Reebok / YouTube
By Justin Lessner July 17, 2019 at 2:49 pm
She has never shied away from getting the biggest, baddest, sharpest and most decorated nails around. But now Cardi B has been taken to the next level in the nail game with nails that come to life with just a thought and can act as new limbs.
In the latest campaign for her brand partnership with Reebok, released Tuesday, the rapper takes viewers to the beauty salon.
Cardi B highlights her famous nails in latest ad with Reebok and it totally works.

A sneaker deal is a rapper's rite of passage. And Cardi B has famously partnered with Fashion Nova and Steve Madden in the past, but last November she announced she would partner with Reebok, the classic sneaker and athletic-clothing brand.
On Tuesday, the company released a new advertisement, and at its center is the "Press" rapper. It's absurdist, attention-grabbing, and completely Cardi B.
The video is next level Cardi B realness.

While chatting with a friend under hair dryers everyone in the shop is alerted to Cardi's one untied sneaker. Without missing a beat, she wills her already long, pink, jewel encrusted nails to do the task for her.
The video sees her nails grow a few feet and work independently to tie up her shoe before retreating back to a more normal length.
With a freshly tied pair of Reebok's Classic Club C, she turns to a customer and simply says 'nailed it.' Living!
These are the hot tenís she's rocking in her new commerical that she also played a part in designing.

Reebok spoke on the collab with Cardi, and said, "The film is a salute to Cardi's own life experience, which saw her challenge expectations to become a self-made maven and incorporates boundary-pushing nail art that has become an iconic feature of her style."
As for the shoes, Reebok describes vintage Club C's as , "Take it down to pure essence with clean lines and a classic lineage. A Union Jack symbol along the side profile calls up heritage style. No excess, no riffraff. Made for icons.
And the shoes are currently on sale for $75.
People are absolutely living for her ad with the sneaker brand.
Even though it looks like, at least on Twitter, people didn't even realize the rapper had a collab with Reebok.
But her ad seems to be working because people are already posting screenshots of them buying Cardi's new shoes.
While some are calling the ad absurd and totally attention grabbing. But ain't that straight up Cardi B?

I wouldn't want anything less from Cardi B.

The Debut Trailer For 'Hustlers' Opens With J.Lo Showing Constance Wu How To Pole Dance And It's Already The Sexiest Scene I've Seen In A Movie In A Long Time
STX Entertainment / YouTube

How badly do you want to see Jennifer Lopez, Constance Wu, Lizzo, and Cardi B dancing, stripping, and racking up pyramids of cash from unsuspecting dudes? A lot? Perfect: keep scrolling.
The sickening trailer for the badass film 'Hustlers' is finally here.
The trailer dropped Tuesday night at midnight and fans of strippers, fierce women, and especially Cardi B, we're all totally here for it.
The film follows the story of a group of women who have formed their own extended family. They're all strippers in the NYC area but then they decide to go bigger and start drugging and robbing ultra-wealthy Wall Street types.
The movie is actually inspired by a true story from a now-viral magazine story.
Credit: @TheCut / Twitter
The article, titled "The Hustlers at Scores" by Jessica Pressler, chronicles the real-life, modern Robin Hood story of a ring of strippers who ripped off wealthy clients.
The film is centered on two badass women, Destiny (Constance Wu) and Ramona (Jennifer Lopez).
Destiny is struggling to make ends meet and is helping to take care of her abuelita so she turns to stripping. This is how she meets Ramona who takes her under her wing and teaches Destiny everything she knows.
I mean Jennifer Lopez, on a pole, showing Constance Wu the moves. I. Am. Here. For. This!
Together with their extended family, these women decide to rob from the rich to help care for their loved ones.
Credit: @hustlersmovie / Giphy
Based off true events, J.Lo's, Constance Wu's, Cardi B's, and Lizzo's characters step up their hustle to include drugging men and robbing them of thousands of dollars.
In one scene, J Lo's character explains it away as simply taking money from bad Wall Street guys who stole money from everyone during the financial crisis.
Things start to get real cray cray real quick.
Credit: @hustlersmovie / Twitter
The women end up drugging many of their clients to complete their heists…so you can see how things could quickly take a turn for the unexpected.
The plotline is amazing but many fans are here to support this gorgeous, talented, diverse cast of incredible women!
The casting director for this movie 100% deserves some serious stanning.
In addition to Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu in badass lead roles but fans will also see Cardi B, Keke Palmer, Lizzo, and Usher on the big screen. Like what did we do deserve this masterpiece?!
Some in the Bardi-gang took to Twitter to say they're kinda disappointed by the trailer.
They wanted more Cardi.
But whoever is running the Hustlers' Twitter account was quick to calm their nerves.
According to the 'Hustlers' Twitter feed, "Cardi B is this movie." Apparently, they didn't wanna give it all away so soon. So Cardi B fans better get ready for her big screen acting debut.
Overall, 'Hustlers' looks like it just may be one of the fiercest movies of 2019.

Frontier Funds // MFG Global Sustainable // Overview
The Frontier MFG Global Sustainable Fund's goal, also referred to as its investment objective, is to seek attractive risk-adjusted returns over the medium to long-term while reducing the risk of permanent capital loss.
Principal Investment Strategy
The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets in shares of common stock of issuers listed on U.S. and international stock exchanges that meet the criteria for environmental, social and governance ("ESG") and low carbon investments of the Fund's subadviser, Magellan Asset Management Limited doing business as MFG Asset Management ("MFG Asset Management"). In selecting ESG investments, MFG Asset Management reviews a broad spectrum of ESG issues for their materiality of impact on the future earnings and risks of companies. MFG Asset Management considers amongst other things and where applicable: environmental issues, such as climate change and pollution; social issues, such as human rights and health and safety; and corporate governance issues, such as governance and compensation structures. The choice of ESG factors for any company will vary by industry and company. In addition, MFG Asset Management incorporates a proprietary process that facilitates the identification of companies with materially lower carbon factor risk through the analysis of factors such as carbon emissions intensity and fossil fuel exposure.
The Fund invests in a non-diversified portfolio of high-quality companies, which are companies that MFG Asset Management believes are market leaders in their industry, earn returns on capital above the cost of capital, and have long term and sustainable competitive advantages. The Fund will normally hold a limited number (generally 20 to 50) of companies in its portfolio that meet these criteria. The Fund may invest in forward foreign currency contracts for currency hedging purposes. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will allocate its assets among issuers located in at least three different countries and will invest at least 40% of its net assets in non-U.S. companies. MFG Asset Management may reduce this 40% minimum investment amount to 30% if it deems market conditions to be unfavorable. With respect to its non-U.S. investments, the Fund invests in companies located in developed countries, but may also invest in emerging markets as part of its principal investment strategy. The Fund may invest in companies of any size, but generally invests in companies with a market capitalization of at least $5 billion.

Many Physicians Fail to Bring Up Sexual Concerns with Middle-Aged Women
By Caitlyn Fitzpatrick
Do sexual concerns hurt the quality of romantic relationships? Many would probably nod. But data on older women shows changes over the years.
Researchers from the University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center in Ohio aimed to find how women's outlooks on sex vary as they enter menopausal ages. Their findings were presented at The North American Menopause Society 27th Annual Meeting (NAMS 2016) in Orlando, Florida.
More than 500 women ages 40 to 75, who were in relationships at the time, were included in the analysis. The participants took an online questionnaire that assessed sexual health concerns and what they thought would be personal consequences associated with them. In addition, it collected data on sociodemographic information, help-seeking motivation, and how those sexual concerns could impact intimacy and relationship quality.
MD Magazine is on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn!
The top two sexual concerns (across all ages) were diminished or no sexual interest and diminished or inadequate vaginal lubrication. Women in their 40s reported the greatest negative impact of these sexual concerns on their relationships. All of the women, except for those in their 70s, said that sexual activity was important to their overall quality of life. However, looking at the cohort overall, the sexual concerns only "somewhat decreased" their ability to enjoy their relationships.
"Although the women in this study felt that their sexual satisfaction could improve, the majority remained happy with the quality of their partnered relationships, demonstrating that sex may become less of a determinant of overall relationship satisfaction over time," explained lead author Sheryl Kingsberg, PhD, chief of the Division of Behavioral Medicine at the University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center.
This questionnaire also confirmed the need for better communication between healthcare providers and middle-aged women. Of the participants, 52% had not talked about their sexual concerns with their doctor. But out of those who had, 70% had to initiate the conversation.
The sexual concerns are there for women ages 40 to 75, but actually addressing them is a whole other issue.

SHRI P. RAJEEVE (contd.)
THE VICE-CHAIRMAN (SHRI BHUBANESWAR KALITA)
SHRI DEREK O'BRIEN (CONTD.)
Ends) प्रो .
SHRI P. RAJEEVE (KERALA): Sir, all of us are aware that the Indian economy is witnessing a mix of illness -- slowdown of economic growth, widening the Current Account deficit, depreciation of currency, high inflation and fiscal deficit. The price of essential commodities is skyrocketing. Some of our learned colleagues have already elaborated the picture of price of essential commodities in the market. Due to constraint of time, I would not like to elaborate the situation prevailing in different parts of the country. From Delhi to Kerala, the price of essential commodities have raised in a very drastic manner. The common man is struggling too much to lead a day-today life.
Sir, the hon. Finance Minister expressed his concern on the Current Account deficit. It resembles the July 24, 1991, speech of the then Finance Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh. At that time, the then Finance Minister expressed his concerned about the Current Account deficit, fiscal deficit and the status of the forex reserves. At that time, in 1991, the Current Account deficit of the country was 2.5 per cent of the GDP. To overcome that situation, in that Budget Speech, the Government started liberalized policies. They opened our economy for Foreign Direct Investment, Foreign Institutional Investment and removed all caps. Then, what is the reality after implementation of neo-liberal policies after 22 years. At that time i.e., 1991, the CAD was only 2.5 per cent of the GDP. But, now, it is 4.8 per cent of the GDP. Last year, it was 5.1 per cent of the GDP -- the highest in the history of our economy. Now, it is 4.8 per cent of the GDP. Sir, India never enjoyed a trade surplus after 1976-77. At the time of Independence, our share of exports was 2 per cent. It is fell down to below 1 per cent after implementation of all these policies by the Republic of India. Now, the growth rate is also the Hindu Growth Rate i.e., around 5 per cent. I do not believe on the GDP and such things. Our hon. Finance Minister is also aware that the former French President, Mr. Sarkozy, constituted a Commission, under the leadership of Amartya Sen and Jean Dreze. The Report is available in the public domain which says that it is mis-measuring our lives. They clearly stated that the GDP is an indicator which is not reflecting the real picture of the economy. But, we are still focusing on the GDP factor. But, Mani Shankar Aiyarji has correctly stated whether we could use the GDP as an engine for the development. In the recent book "Uncertain Glories", written by Amartya Sen and Dreze, they analyzed the situation of India in 1991 and 2011 with South Asian countries and other developing economies.
(COTND. BY KGG/2R)
-NBR-KGG-SC/2R/2.50
SHRI P. RAJEEVE (contd.): In 1991, the Indian life expectancy was the same as in Bangladesh; but in 2011, an Indian lived four years less than a Bangladeshi. Bangladesh is not an emerging economy; it is a very small country. But, in all human indices, our position is very bad compared to the South Asian countries; with regard to under-nutrition, underweighted children, our position is the least.
Sir, while we are functioning in the economy, the Constitution gave a direction under article 39(c). I have explained it while participating in the discussion on the Companies Bill. The function of the economy should not result in the concentration of wealth. But, as per the U.N. Report, the super rich, who constitute 10 per cent of the country's population, control 53 per cent of the assets of the country and the poor 10 per cent control only 0.2 per cent of the assets of the country. That is the picture after the implementation of the neo-liberal policy. The Government opened the doors for foreign investment. The logic behind attracting investment is, it would create employment and it would lead to the growth. That was the propaganda at the time of implementation of the neo-liberal policy. Then, where is the market? You are focussing on the exports, export-oriented policies. The international economic crisis is still continuing. The world trade is declining. That means, the international market is contracting. Then, where are the export-oriented policies taking us? What is the result of those policies after these twenty years? Then, what about the domestic market? What is the purchasing power of most of the people in our society? Seventy-nine per cent of the people are living with Rs.20 per day; that is the income per day as per the Government report. That is the status of the purchasing power of the majority of the society in our country.
Sir, I would like to draw the attention of the hon. Minister to one article in The Economic Times and the other article in The Economist, London. That is not a publication of the Left. As per the Sunday's Economic Times, they gave an analysis of the employment scenario in our country. Steel industry is downsized by 10 per cent; telecom and shipping saw a 17 per cent dip; paper sector saw 23 per cent; the corporate sector expects a loss of more than one crore jobs. This is the employment scenario in our country. Has the new FDI created any employment in our country? The Economist weekly published a very good article on how India is missing its opportunities. In that article, they gave a very good example of 570 million Euro Volkswagen plant in India. It is a totally robot-run factory. No job creation. This is the report in The Economist. No employment is created by this so-called FDI. The result is job loss; job loss is one of the significant feature of the economy in our country.
The agrarian sector has crashed and it is already explained by some of our learned colleagues. I would not like to go into the details of it. The real wages are also decreasing. That means, the purchasing capacity of the domestic market is declining drastically. That is the situation in our country. What is the remedy? I would like to invite the attention of the Minister to the first Budget Speech of our country by the then Minister, Shri Shanmugam Chettiyar. I quote:
"When a depression is on Government, it should launch bold
schemes of public expenditure."
That is in 1947-48, at the time of the first Budget. Then, what is the strategy of the present Finance Minister, Mr. Chidambaram? Is the Ministry ready to increase the public investment? But, instead of that, the Government has again opened up our economy to foreign investment, foreign direct investment, foreign institutional investment, or any type of investment, at any cost and at any condition. Sir, this would lead to more and more crises. These policies, these tactics, to overcome the situation would lead to another crisis in our country.
(Contd. By TDB/2S)
TDB/2S/2.55
SHRI P. RAJEEVE (CONTD.): Sir, while demanding for more public investment, the reply from the Government is that there is no money for that. Sir, as per the last Budget, the revenue forgone is Rs.5,29,432 crores in 2011-12, which is six per cent of the GDP. Sir, this is higher than our fiscal deficit. As per the calculation done by well-known journalist Sainath, since 2005-06, taxes and duties for the corporate world and the rich have been written off at the rate of Rs.70 lakhs a minute on average. Sir, in a minute, the Government has written off Rs.70 lakhs in favour of the corporates in the country. That is the real picture. This Government stands for private interest. This Government does not stand for public interest. This Government is not ready to increase public investment to increase the dynamism of the economy.
Sir, we have other sources of capital for investment. As per the Public Enterprises Survey, our PSUs had a surplus reserve of Rs.5,60,203 crores in 2011, which is now Rs.6,13,949 crores in 2012. This is the cash reserve in public sector companies. It is lying there as dead money. Why is the Government not trying to utilize that money for investment in different productive sectors and for creating more and more jobs in our country?
Sir, one more point which I want to make is this. We are crying for the FDI. The Economist analysis says, "Every dollar of FDI made by outsiders in manufacturing sector in five years to March, 2012, local firms invests 65 cents for manufacturing outside the country." That is the reality. They are creating, as per the Commerce Ministry's analysis, 10,000 jobs outside the country in a short span of time. Why we could not utilize this capital for creating employment in our country?
Sir, then, there is Foreign Institutional Investment, FII. We are open for that. Actually, the FII is flowing from one country to another country wherever they get more and more benefits. They do not stick on the periphery economy. They always have the tendency to go back to the core economy, i.e., the United States of America. That is happening and that is reflected in the depreciation of our currency.
THE VICE-CHAIRMAN (SHRI BHUBANESWAR KALITA): You have to conclude. Your time is over.
SHRI P. RAJEEVE: Sir, I would just make the points now. Sir, as per the Finance Ministry's explanation, this depreciation is due to the declaration of the policy of the Federal Bank of the United States of America. If it is true, then, it reveals over-dependence of Indian economy on America. Actually, the rupee has been falling against the dollar for quite long time before Bernanke's announcement.
Sir, one question which I want to put to the hon. Minister is this. This current account deficit created pressure on the value of the currency. But my question is, in spite of America's facing a serious current account deficit, how can it maintain the strength of its currency? That is being done at the expense of the economy of the developing countries like India. For strengthening our currency, for meeting our economic issues, we open all our doors for the Foreign Direct Investment.
THE VICE-CHAIRMAN (SHRI BHUBANESWAR KALITA): Please conclude now.
SHRI P. RAJEEVE: Sir, I want to make one important point about the pricing of natural gas. What is the public interest behind that? The Government has decided to increase the price of natural gas. That means, the subsidy burden of the Government would be increased. Some analysts stated that it would be more than Rs.2.5 lakh crores. I do not know what the actual figure is. The increase in prices of fertilizers leads to subsidy burden and it leads to increase in fiscal deficit as power industry and steel industry would be compelled to move for imported coal. That would again lead to widening of current account deficit. Why did the Government take a decision to increase the price of natural gas when there is a complex economic crisis in our country? That shows that this Government is working for the private interest, not for the public interest, not for the national interest.
THE VICE-CHAIRMAN (SHRI BHUBANESWAR KALITA): Please conclude. There are other speakers also.
SHRI P. RAJEEVE: Sir, lastly, I would like to invite the attention of the hon. Finance Minister to the latest online survey of The Economist weekly. They predict that a credit downgrade is looming and, perhaps, a full economic crisis in India.
(Contd. by 2t-usy)
-TDB-USY/2T/3.00
SHRI P. RAJEEVE (CONTD.): So, Sir, I urge upon the Government to review its liberalized economic policy. The politics should decide the economics. But, now, you have a very bad politics and bad economics. Thank you very much.
(Ends)
SHRI DEREK O'BRIEN (WEST BENGAL): Sir, they say, eleven months is a long time in politics. But we, from the Trinamool Congress, were actually walking the talk and making our actions louder than our words because, eleven months ago, we walked out of this Government and left the Congress to learn a minority-led UPA. And, it is interesting that we are discussing this subject today, that is, the state of the economy, because when we left the Government eleven months ago, we also had some very serious issues on the state of the economy. The core issue was especially the price rise, we will come to that later. But there were also issues of fertilizer price hike, the LPG cap, the petrol and diesel prices. But it pains me that even after eleven months, even after we moved out, and, now, even more and more people believe in what we said eleven months ago, the Congress party is still living in denial.
Sir, the economists have an index, which they call the Big Mac Index. The Big Mac Index is an index that gives you the purchasing power parity. When you look at the price of a hotdog or a hamburger in different countries of the world, you get to know what the local currency is, in response to the dollar. Okay, forget about the Big Mac Index. In India, our belief is, there is even a more important index, which is called the API, that is, the Aaloo-Pyaj Index. And, this Aaloo-Pyaj Index is something which this Government has never understood. They did not understand it one year ago. They don't even understand it today. The Aaloo-Pyaj Index is basically price rise in agri commodities.
Sir, here are two clear views. One, we believe that there has been a total negligence on capacity expansion. Second, there is a total lack of increased production. For onions, specifically, we understand and we appreciate that rainfall could be one of the reasons. But the second one, and the more important one, is the lack of logistics and not anticipating the problem before it actually comes. In case we mention something like this, an excuse may always be given that you know the Opposition parties did not allow the Walmart. We are looking for a good governance. We are not looking to outsource our problems to the Walmart. When it comes to anticipation, let me give you a small example of my own State, the West Bengal. In June 2012, knowing that something like this could happen, a Task Force was set up by the Chief Minister of West Bengal, headed by the Secretary (Agriculture). And, it had members from agriculture, horticulture, vendors and retailers together. That's why, today, in Bengal, there are still ten markets in Bengal with mobile vans where onion is available at rupees 35-40 per kg. There are still fruit markets in Bengal, during Ramjan, through the same mobile vans where fruits are available at decent prices. I am not saying that that is the only solution. But the point I am trying to make is that there was some anticipation before the problem arose.
Sir, our Prime Minister keeps talking about the global economy. Actually I am beginning to believe him now. Because, nowadays, even in the price of onions, we are paying global prices; we are paying one dollar fifty cents for one kilogram of onions.
The erudite speaker Shri Mani Shankar Ayar is, obviously, still in denial because he selectively quoted certain growth rates. He said that in US it is 1.4; in UK, it is 1.2. So, we are doing very well with 4.7. But here are two points. One, on what we base we are talking about that these economies are growing at 1.2 and 1.4.
(Contd. by 2u – PB)
-USY-ASC/PK-LP/2U/3.05
SHRI DEREK O'BRIEN (CONTD.): And the second short point here, Sir, is, look at Indonesia, it is six per cent. Look at Phillipines, look at Sri Lanka and look at Vietnam. When the Congress Party decides to keep quoting selective figures, then, Sir, it really is a problem. The Finance Minister is here. I have some pointed questions which I hope he will address in his reply. Sir, the LPG cap is one of the issues on which the Trinamool Congress gave up one Cabinet Minister and six Ministers of State. Sir, how much have you saved in terms of real rupees from the time this LPG cap was fixed at 9 a year? Sir, what have you done with regard to the fertilizer prices? As far as fertilizer prices are concerned, the world knows, the biggest scam is 'gold plating'. Now, instead of being self-sufficient, we, still, have to pay for imported fertilizers. So, my specific question is: What steps have you taken in the last one year for gold-plating of fertilizers? The previous speaker spoke about gas prices and I want to take that one step further. Gas prices are going up substantially. But what is the magic date, Sir? Please enlighten us about 1st April, 2014. Why not October, why not November? Some people would believe that by 1st April, 2014, you will not only play a cruel joke on the nation, but you may also not be in the Government. But that is another story, Sir. That is on the fertilizer prices. Sir, I would take a few minutes to share four figures, to tell you how my own State is doing. For GDP, the national average last year was 4.96 per cent –just four figures,– while Bengal's was 7.6 per cent. Now, I come to industrial growth. The national average was 3.12 per cent; in Bengal, it was 6.24 per cent. In agriculture, the national average was 1.79 per cent while in Bengal, it was 2.56 per cent. And the most significant one -- that is why economies like that of Phillipines are growing so much – is services. For services, the national average was 6.5 per cent while Bengal's average was 9.48 per cent. Sir, I want to go back to the story of the onions, because there is a lot of pride with the phrase, "the aam aadmi". I know who the aam aadmi is. But there is a sense and there is a belief that the Congress also knows who the aam aadmi is. But that aam aadmi is in the groccery shop of Khan Market. Otherwise, we would not have had these figures of Re.1/- to Rs.100/-. You can get a meal in some States, depending on your state of mind -- Rs.12/- in Mumbai or Rs.18/- somewhere else. Sir, the Egyptians worshipped this 'something' because it had concentric circles. The Greek's athletes ate this because they thought they would perform better. Roman gladiators rubbed its juice on their muscles. Sir, I am talking about the onion. But for the Indian housewife, it does nothing of this, Sir; it only brings tear to her eyes. I want to finish, Sir, now by going back to my story of the API, which is the aaloo- pyaj index. Sir, In 1998, and before that in 1980, this aaloo- pyaj index benefitted the Congress Party. It gave them Delhi, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. I am not an astrologer, Sir. But the people of this country who have been cursed by this shameless minority Government, insisting on staying on even when they are not wanted. By 2014 or before that, Sir, the same aaloo- pyaj index will send Congress where they duly belong to. Thank you, Sir. (Ends)

प्रो. राम गोपाल यादव (क्रमागत): यह तो हो सकता है कि देश में 5%-10% लोगों के पास इतना पैसा हो कि उनके पास उसे रखने की जगह ही न हो। लोगों के पास बहुत बड़े पैमाने पर ब्लैक मनी है, पता नहीं आपने इसको स्टडी करवाया है या नहीं। ब्लैक मनी की एक समानान्तर अर्थव्यवस्था चल रही है और कुछ प्रतिशत लोग ही उसे चला रहे हैं। लेकिन बहुतायत में जो लोग हैं और जो सेक्टर बड़े पैमाने पर रोजी-रोटी देने का काम करता है, उनके लिए क्या किया जा रहा है?
अगर लोग अदरवाइज़ न लें, तो मैं एक बात कहना चाहूंगा। आपकी जो 'मनरेगा' है और अब जो 'फूड सेक्योरिटी बिल' आ रहा है, इसके आने के बाद किसान यह सोचने लगा है कि हम अपनी हड्डी-पसली क्यों गलाएं, हम भी दो रुपया और एक रुपया किलो अनाज खरीद लेंगे और उसी से काम चला लेंगे, धूप में, बरसते पानी में, ठंड में और पाले में खेती का काम हम क्यों करें? यह स्थिति पैदा होने जा रही है। किसान खेती का काम करना बन्द करने जा रहा है। राजस्थान में धान रोपने के लिए मजदूर नहीं मिल रहे हैं। उत्तर प्रदेश में भी यही स्थिति है, दक्षिण भारत में भी यही स्थिति होगी। मुझे अफसोस के साथ यह कहना पड़ रहा है कि आप पूरे देश को निकम्मा बना रहे हैं। जब बिना काम किए हुए खाने को मिल रहा है, तो आदमी काम क्यों करे, यह स्थिति बनती जा रही है। इसका असर आपको दो-तीन साल बाद दिखने लगेगा, जब एग्रीकल्चर का प्रोडक्शन ड्रास्टिकली कम होगा। शायद तब आपको एहसास होगा कि आपने केवल पॉलिटिकल लाभ के लिए जो कदम उठाए थे, उनका देश को कितना बड़ा खामियाजा भुगतना पड़ रहा है।
मैं यह बात इसलिए कह रहा हूं कि खेती की तरफ और किसानों की तरफ आपको विशेष रूप से ध्यान देना होगा। बेरोजगारी पहले ही बढ़ रही है और यह और भी ज्यादा बढ़ेगी, जिस दिन खेती में कुछ काम नहीं होगा। अभी तक तो लोग खेती में जुटे हुए हैं, लेकिन जब खेती में कुछ काम नहीं होगा, जब काम करने के लिए कोई मिलेगा ही नहीं, तब लोग खेती करना ही बन्द कर देंगे और तब असली दिक्कत पैदा होगी।
ऐसी बहुत सारी चीज़ें हैं। आपने पहले भी एक ऐसा ही कदम उठाया था, यहां मैं इस विषय से थोड़ा हट कर बात कर रहा हूं। पहले आपने एक 'वॉलंटरी डिस्क्लोज़र स्कीम' शुरू की थी, जिससे बहुत पैसा मिला था। इस देश में इतनी ब्लैक मनी हो गई है कि कुछ लोग पैसे के बल पर बहुत बड़े आदमी बन गए हैं, चूंकि पैसे की वजह से लोगों का स्टेटस आंका जाने लगा है। जो पैसे वाला है, वही बड़ा आदमी है, फिर चाहे वह कितना भी घटिया किस्म का आदमी क्यों न हो और पैसे वाला नहीं है, तो चाहे वह कितना ही अच्छा क्यों न हो, उसकी कोई हैसियत नहीं है। अब अगर कहीं आप फिर से 'वॉलंटरी डिस्क्लोज़र स्कीम' चालू कर देंगे तो हो सकता है कि एक लाख, दो लाख, तीन लाख या चार लाख करोड़ रुपया आपके खजाने में बढ़ जाए। स्थिति बहुत खराब हो रही है, दयनीय हो रही है, आप उसको रोकने की कोशिश कीजिए। लोगों को कैसे रोजगार मिले, कैसे रोजगार का सृजन हो, कैसे रोजगार के अवसर पैदा हों, वित्त मंत्री होने के नाते यह देखना आपकी जिम्मेवारी है, केन्द्र सरकार की जिम्मेवारी है। ...(समय की घंटी)

The Silver Lining in Apple's Very Bad iPhone News
Brian Barrett
Turns out people are upgrading their iPhones less frequently. That's not good for Apple's revenue—but it's great for everyone else.
David Paul Morris/Bloomberg/Getty Images
Apple on Wednesday warned investors that its revenue for the last three months of 2018 would not live up to previous estimates, or even come particularly close. The main culprit appears to be China, where the trade war and a broader economic slowdown contributed to plummeting iPhone sales. But CEO Tim Cook's letter to investors pointed to a secondary thread as well, one that Apple customers, environmentalists, and even the company itself should view not as a liability but an asset: People are holding onto their iPhones longer.
That's not just in China. Cook noted that iPhone upgrades were "not as strong as we thought they would be" in developed markets as well, citing "macroeconomic conditions," a shift in how carriers price smartphones, a strong US dollar, and temporarily discounted battery replacements. He neglected to mention the simple fact that an iPhone can perform capably for years—and consumers are finally getting wise.
As recently as 2015, smartphone users on average upgraded their phone roughly every 24 months, says Cliff Maldonado, founder of BayStreet Research, which tracks the mobile industry. As of the fourth quarter of last year, that had jumped to at least 35 months. "You're looking at people holding onto their devices an extra year," Maldonado says. "It's been considerable."
A few factors contribute to the trend, chief among them the shift from buying phones on a two-year contract—heavily subsidized by the carriers—to installment plans in which the customer pays full freight. T-Mobile introduced the practice in the US in 2014, and by 2015 it had become the norm. The full effects, though, have only kicked in more recently. People still generally pay for their smartphone over two years; once they're paid off, though, their monthly bill suddenly drops by, say, $25.
The shift has also caused a sharp drop-off in carrier incentives. They turn out not to be worth it. "They're actually encouraging that dynamic of holding your smartphone longer. It's in their best interest," Maldonado says. "It actually costs them to get you into a new phone, to do those promotions, to run the transaction and put it on their books and finance it."
Bottom line: If your service is reliable and your iPhone still works fine, why go through the hassle?
"There's not as many subsidies as there used to be from a carrier point of view," Cook told CNBC Wednesday. "And where that didn't all happen yesterday, if you've been out of the market for two or three years and you come back, it looks like that to you."
Meanwhile, older iPhones work better, for longer, thanks to Apple itself. When Apple vice president Craig Federighi introduced iOS 12 in June at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, he emphasized how much it improved the performance of older devices. Among the numbers he cited: The 2014 iPhone 6 Plus opens apps 40 percent faster with iOS 12 than it had with iOS 11, and its keyboard appears up to 50 percent faster than before. And while Apple's battery scandal of a year ago was a black mark for the company, it at least reminded Apple owners that they didn't necessarily need a new iPhone. Eligible iPhone owners found that a $29 battery replacement—it normally costs $79—made their iPhone 6 feel something close to new.
"There definitely has been a major shift in customer perception, after all the controversy," says Kyle Wiens, founder of online repair community iFixit. "What it really did more than anything else was remind you that the battery on your phone really can be replaced. Apple successfully brainwashing the public into thinking the battery was something they never needed to think about led people to prematurely buy these devices."
Combine all of that with the fact that new model iPhones—and Android phones for that matter—have lacked a killer feature, much less one that would inspire someone to spend $1,000 or more if they didn't absolutely have to. "Phones used to be toys, and shiny objects," Maldonado says. "Now they're utilities. You've got to have it, and the joy of getting a new one is pretty minor. Facebook and email looks the same; the camera's still great."
The WIRED Guide to the iPhone
In the near term, these dynamics aren't ideal for Apple; its stock dropped more than 7 percent in after-hours trading following Wednesday's news. But it's terrific news for consumers, who have apparently realized that a smartphone does not have a two-year expiration date. That saves money in the long run. And pulling the throttle back on iPhone sales may turn out to be equally welcome news for the planet.
According to Apple's most recent sustainability report, the manufacture of each Apple device generates on average 90 kilograms of carbon emissions. Wiens suggests that the creation of each iPhone requires hundreds of pounds of raw materials.
Manufacturing electronics is environmentally intense, Wiens says. "We can't live in a world where we're making 3 billion new smartphones a year. We don't have the resources for it. We have to reduce how many overall devices we're making. There are lots of ways to do it, but it gets down to demand, and how many we're buying. That's not what Apple wants, but it's what the environment needs."
Which raises a question: Why does Apple bother extending the lives of older iPhones? The altruistic answer comes from Lisa Jackson, who oversees the company's environmental efforts.
"We also make sure to design and build durable products that last as long as possible," Jackson said at Apple's September hardware event. "Because they last longer, you can keep using them. And keeping using them is the best thing for the planet."
Given a long enough horizon, Apple may see a financial benefit from less frequent upgrades as well. An iPhone that lasts longer keeps customers in the iOS ecosystem longer. That becomes even more important as the company places greater emphasis not on hardware but on services like Apple Music. It also offers an important point of differentiation from Android, whose fragmented ecosystem means even flagship devices rarely continue to be fully supported beyond two years.
"In reality, the big picture is still very good for Apple," Maldonado says. Compared with Android, "Apple's in a better spot, because the phones last longer."
That's cold comfort today and doesn't help a whit with China. But news that people are holding onto their iPhones longer should be taken for what it really is: A sign of progress and a win for everyone. Even Apple.

UX designer and project manager Reymi Castellanos is the founder of Grupo Interactivo, a digital marketing agency based in the Dominican Republic.
He leads UX design projects from the ground up and recently played a role in giving the country's first online supermarket the UX treatment.
In this post, we catch up with Reymi and uncover how he's using Justinmind to create wireframes, user interfaces and high-fidelity prototypes for all kinds of clients.
Build and prototype your own ecommerce site. Download Justinmind.
Every great new design starts with something simple: a prototype.
For Reymi Castellanos, prototyping is what brings his ideas to life and gets stakeholders on board.
But before Reymi could solve design problems with prototypes, he needed a reliable design tool he could turn to when he wanted to try out an idea.
That's when Reymi decided to go with Justinmind. As a busy UX project manager, Reymi understands that without the right set of tools, creating good design work is difficult.
High-fidelity and offline prototyping? Reymi was sold.
Now with a robust design tool at his disposal, Reymi set about solving the design problem at hand. He and his team were involved in redesigning the website and app for the first online supermarket in the Dominican Republic. No small feat.
Big projects like this one often run the risk of failure. Poor communication, lack of testing and zero research are a few ways good projects turn bad. How did Reymi get started?
This involved researching new and existing users, carrying out an expert analysis and propose several solutions for the client.
The best part? All of this is possible right inside Reymi's design tool, Justinmind.
Conditions were a powerful element in Reymi's online supermarket design. They provided the realism he was looking for. Before long, he was hooked on using conditions.
Login forms are relatively simple to design but present a great UX opportunity. You can use placeholder text, useful microcopy and intuitive interactions so logging in is a dream.
"The behavior of the login was the easiest part to create because the definition of conditions is very intuitive in Justinmind.
Justinmind enabled Reymi to recreate important design patterns for the supermarket UI.
But what benefit did this have? It meant Reymi could show seamless and lifelike interactions. It's one thing to show screenshots of your design but another thing to have an app that works like the real deal. It's this sort of thing that makes stakeholders happy. How did they show their work?
Not only could Reymi share his prototypes with ease but with useful conditions, templates and drag and drop widgets, he managed to gain one thing all designers are in short supply of: time.
For Reymi, creating workable, high-fidelity prototypes that function properly coupled with the massive time saving means happy stakeholders and a smoother design process.
Reymi can successfully bring a project to life thanks to his prototyping tool. By choosing something that's intuitive and easy to understand, he doesn't need to spend hours learning. He can put his time to better use: improving the UX of mobile apps and websites.

Ghosn hid scale of Nissan salary, fearing dismissal from Renault, Tokyo court told
FILE PHOTO: Carlos Ghosn to unveil ambitions plan to help Lebanon economy
TOKYO (Reuters) - Carlos Ghosn concealed the scale of his compensation at Nissan because he feared the French government would force him out of Renault if it discovered how much he earned, an executive at the Japanese carmaker told a Tokyo court on Thursday.
Hari Nada, a former Nissan vice president in charge of legal affairs, is a key whistleblower in the case brought by Japanese prosecutors against former Nissan and Renault boss Ghosn, who was arrested in 2018.
Nada was testifying at the trial of former Nissan executive Greg Kelly who is charged with helping Ghosn hide 9.3 billion yen ($89 million) in compensation over eight years through deferred payments after Japan introduced new rules requiring executives to disclose payments above 1 billion yen.
Kelly has pleaded not guilty. He has been on bail in Japan since his release from jail in 2018 and is facing trial without Ghosn because his co-accused fled to Lebanon in December 2019.
Ghosn, who was one of the world's most prominent auto bosses as head of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance, has denied wrongdoing. He says he is the victim of a boardroom coup by former Nissan colleagues worried he would push through a merger between Nissan and Renault, its largest shareholder.
Nada told the court that Ghosn had concealed his true compensation because he feared the repercussions in France. He said Kelly had given him this information.
"He (Ghosn) didn't want to be fired. If he paid himself what he wanted and that was disclosed, the French state would have felt obliged to fire him," said Nada, who agreed to cooperate with Japanese prosecutors in return for immunity from prosecution.
A person close to Ghosn dismissed the notion that he had feared being forced out over his pay levels.
France's economy ministry declined to comment.
Nada was demoted following Ghosn's arrest.
Ghosn is also charged with enriching himself through $5 million in payments to a Middle East car dealership, and for a breach of trust for temporarily transferring personal financial losses to his employer's books. He denies any wrongdoing.
Kelly's trial could take about a year. If found guilty he could face up to 10 years in prison and a 10-million-yen fine.

The Capitol Police said in a statement the lockdown was lifted and the fire contained. But the move underscored the security jitters that exist two days before President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration on Wednesday (January 20). One eyewitness captured images of thick smoke coming from a under a bridge. On January 6, supporters of outgoing President Donald Trump laid siege to the Capitol building with some calling for the death of Republican Vice President Mike Pence as he presided over the certification of Democrat Biden's November election victory. The Capitol Police said that as a precautionary measure following the fire its acting chief shut down the complex, which consists of the Capitol, its grounds and several buildings. The city's fire department posted on Twitter that firefighters put out a fire near the Capitol. People taking part in a rehearsal for Biden's inauguration were held in the Capitol rotunda and other indoor areas, according to a Reuters witness.

The government has liberalised the regime for foreign investment in infrastructure bonds to step up the availability of funds for the sector that needs over $1 trillion in the 12th Five-Year Plan beginning Ap ril 2012.
Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) will now be able to invest up to $5 billion in infrastructure bonds having residual maturity of one year at the time of purchase and initial maturity of five years or more, a finance ministry release said on Monday.
The earlier regime restricted FII investment in infrastructure debt to listed and unlisted bonds that had a minimum residual maturity of five years. Besides, the investment was locked in for three years from the date of purchase. The lock-in period has also been reduced to one year and FIIs. Foreign investors would also be allowed to trade among themselves even in this one-year lock-in period but not sell to domestic investors.
The government will review the response to the amended scheme and could further raise the limit of $5 billion. "We will see how the new scheme works now...A review would be carried out in sometime," said a finance ministry official. The move comes following the ministry's consultations with the industry and other stakeholders and a detailed review of the scheme and FII response to it so far.
FIIs have remained lukewarm to this much-hyped scheme that was announced in the budget 2011-12. The government had raised the limit for FII investment in long-term corporate bonds issued by companies in the infrastructure sector from $5 billion to $25 billion to open new channels of funding for the infrastructure sector and also facilitate the emergence of a vibrant corporate bond market. As on August 31, 2011, investments by FIIs under this scheme were only $109 million, or Rs 500 crore, against a ceiling limit of $25 billion or Rs 1,12,095 crore.
"The government has been monitoring FIIs subscription under the scheme and it was observed that additional steps would have to be taken to increase the level of subscription by FIIs," the official said. He said it was concluded that the three-year lock-in period and doubts regarding the interpretation of the requirement of residual maturity of five years were discouraging FIIs from investing in this scheme.
"In order to make this scheme attractive to FIIs, the scheme has been modified in consultation with RBI and Sebi," the ministry statement said. The $5-billion investment allowed in shorter residual maturity bonds is a carve-out within the overall limit of $25 billion.

Q: image can not be seen in htdocs? I am using Ubuntu 12.10 and recently have installed xampp 1.8.1. My problem is: image from server can not be shown.
my code is ::

Unsung heroes...

here, in my address bar I use
 http://localhost/madeTemplet/basicTemplet/templet03.html

and I want to show image after "Unsung heroes" text but it only shown some link and not any image
But when I use the following
file:///opt/lampp/htdocs/madeTemplet/basicTemplet/templet03.html

and images are shown after Unsung heroes text.
It works well in windows platform.
After checking the permissions to access the directory where images are, I get this text in my terminal window ::
  sabbir@sabbir-pc:/opt/lampp/htdocs/madeTemplet/basicTemplet/_images$ ls -l
  total 300

As a new user I can't insert image so you can check the given link as follow :
 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16178342/image-can-not-be-seen-in-htdocs-in-ubuntu-12-10

A: Two things are comming to mind, the first is permissions and the second false path to image.
You could try only for testing purposes to:

*

*give ownership to Apache i.e: chown -R www-data:www-data where www-data the Apache user and group.

*use hardcoded path to image i.e:  <img src="/opt/lampp/htdocs/madeTemplet/basicTemplet/_images/1_full.jpg"...
Hopefully you will be able to find the problem.
Rebember to revert the changes after testing acoordingly.

A: I think you have to change permission of your htdocs folder
you can try this::
  1)  sudo -s

  2)  give your password

  3)  sudo chmod 777 -R /opt/lampp/htdocs

A: DO NOT use the 'chown' or 'chmod' command lightly. I've done that and trust me it is not a piece of cake to revert to the initial configuration after that. So I've had this problem for a while now and I finally figured out a solution to it although it's only to be used as a last resort:
sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/lampp/htdocs/path/to/image/folder

this basically gives you all permissions pertaining to all the images stored in that folder. Cheers!

For the release of the new big coffee roaster, we decided it would be interesting to interview Wilfred Giesen, the CEO of the company.
Wilfred, the W140A is finished now, how long did it take to design and build it?
We have been working on the roaster for about a year. There is more to it than just building the machine. It is the idea that must be worked out. Don't forget about everything that is attached to the machine. The destoner, the conveyor system, the after burner with heat recovery system and the air conditioning system.
Did you need to change your plans much during the development process?
Some minor tweaks but nothing major. We needed to test all new features extensively and the first results are very positive.
Was there anything less positive during the development.
The cast iron plates at this size are quite heavy and take longer to produce. That makes the process a bit slower than with a smaller coffee roaster, but nothing we can't handle.
How many people worked on the new roaster the last 12 months?
About 6 to 8 people. Not every person was working on it every day of course, but on average.
I heard you personally worked on the W140A too. What did you do in the process?
I came up with everything and explained the vision I had of the machine. I know what I want, but the guys here make it.
Which feature of the coffee roaster would you like to emphasize?
The W140A is very controllable, especially for a coffee roaster of this size. The accuracy is due to the adjustability of all the parts of the roasting process. The possibility to control that much in a roaster this big is quite unique.
When can the W140A be ordered?
Starting right now the W140A can be ordered.

Indian researchers have identified the mechanism by which muscles above the neck, known as head muscles, are formed during development of embryo in the womb.
Till now scientists had only known about the way muscles below the neck develop in the embryo. The new study has found that the process is different for development of head muscles. It was observed that formation of head muscles was triggered by inhibition of two pathways called Wnt/beta-catenin and Nodal pathways, while muscles below neck require switching on of two different pathways (Wnt and Fgf).
"We found that muscles in the head, such as jaw and facial muscles, have fundamentally different developmental program when compared to that of muscles below neck. We have shown this by mutating two genes in mice embryos," explained Dr. Ramkumar Sambasivan, a member of the research team at the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (InStem), Bangalore.
" formation of head muscles was triggered by inhibition of two pathways called Wnt/beta-catenin and Nodal pathways, while muscles below neck require switching on of two different pathways (Wnt and Fgf). "
"The study has traced evolutionary process that allow emergence of head in vertebrates and identifies mechanistic cues that might be involved in the process. This information can be used to streamline therapy for muscular disorders affecting distinct parts of the body, rather than a 'one therapy fits all muscles' approach," commented Dr Suchitra Gopinath of Translational Health Science and Technology Institute (THSTI), Faridabad, who was not part of this study.

There are different vinyl looks and styles to choose from, what's your texture? Hover over the images to the right to find out more.
Still looking for more info about vinyl flooring? Here are some of the vinyl questions we get asked most often by our customers here at Bowling's Carpet.
Does luxury vinyl need to be acclimated before installation?
Yes! Be sure to obtain your product at least 48 hours before installation and leave it in the room in which it will be installed. This will allow the planks or tiles to acclimate to your room's climate. Once installed, luxury vinyl will not expand or contract from moisture.
Can I wet-mop a wood-look vinyl floor?
Yes! Most luxury vinyl products are water-resistant, if not waterproof. You can use a wet mop to clean your vinyl floor, but don't let puddles sit! Standing water could cause damage. Be sure to dry your floors promptly if any puddles occur.
What's the difference between vinyl and linoleum flooring?
Linoleum is actually a type of vinyl flooring, but it's fallen out of fashion. Modern luxury vinyl floors have advanced far past traditional linoleum In terms of style and performance capability.
What's meant by LVT and LVP?
These acronyms actually refer to the same thing, just in different forms. Both are luxury vinyl products. LVT stands for luxury vinyl tile, made to look and feel like ceramic or stone tile flooring. LVP stands for luxury vinyl plank, made to look and feel like natural hardwood.
Can I install vinyl floors over my existing floor?
Yes! New vinyl floors can float over existing tile, provided that the surface is secure and smooth. You may need to level the tile with a special compound, first.
The process of installing vinyl floors is actually very simple relative to other categories of flooring. Learn just what it takes and what to expect in our guide to luxury vinyl flooring installation.
Vinyl flooring may look like real hardwood, but that doesn't mean you should clean it the same way! Learn how to properly care for your new vinyl floors by reviewing this guide compiled by our flooring experts.
Because luxury vinyl so faithfully recreates the look of natural hardwood and tile, you may have seen it in action and not even realized it! See just what vinyl can do in our gallery of vinyl styles.

Secure Collaboration Insecurely
16th May 2010 ~ asdmather
A year or more ago I wrote a post that lamented how I was struggling to book meetings within a project team where a half dozen suppliers used separate calendar systems. The post disappeared from my blog either because of my own fat finger trouble or glitch in the publishing system. I promised to come back to the point and then promptly forgot to, despite being reminded every day of the very point I was trying to make. So here's a reworking of it. I don't know if it makes the same points as I did back then but I hope it makes some of them and maybe even adds some more.
The government, by its very nature, wants to keep systems secure. Success at that aim has varied wildly. But one thing it has surely kept locked down is the calendars of its employees. Once you're on a UK [central] government system you can forget about publishing your calendar to the world. Why would you want to do this? Because even then you're on the inside of the great firewall, you want to meet people who are on the outside. And a public – or, at the very least, a shared – calendar is the easiest way to get to organise those meetings. As it is, though, I run several calendars and am forever juggling appointments between them all, copying invitations back and forth (which, when meeting locations, dates and times are updated numerous times gets very confusing).
Today, I have three calendars: internal government, external systems provider and personal. I can publish one of those to the web (using multiple routes, but my favourite is Tungle). But two of them, both behind "restricted" firewalls don't allow me to make that simple synchronisation. That means that people in other government departments can't see my calendar and, of course, people working with suppliers (even those working in the same team as me) can't see it either. Cynics might say that if people managed their own calendars then there'd be no way to keep an eye on what they were doing.
If I could wave a magic wand, then my 2010 wish would be for that to be made a simple click – with whatever devious security rules that need to be manipulated (contravened?) happening in the background. I'd like that to be a feature of the new GSI so that anyone in government could see my calendar and that those that I invited, from outside of government, could also see it. In a flash, things would be synchronised together and the complexity of meeting organisation would trend downwards. So a GSI service that was available outside the GSI. Hold on, we could call it an ex-GSI. Although I think that name is taken.
Beyond Calendars
Is it reasonable that in 2010, someone wanting to send a file to another entity should have to copy it to a CD and send it with a registered courier? No. But it goes on, every day. After the Child Benefit data loss, you'd have thought that this would have been top of the list – right after all the IT folks had banned memory sticks. Sending secure information from [cleared] entity to [cleared] entity goes on all the time because the necessary tools that would remove that need are not yet widely deployed. They exist, of course. Sometime in 2003 the team that I led in the Cabinet Office created such a capability for the folks in Criminal Justice (who wanted to allow barristers, solicitors and the courts to exchange information about cases) – that, or one of its near relatives, is still in heavy use. But it isn't available to everyone (even inside government, let alone those outside government who are running secure systems).
With the second wave of my magic wand, I'd create twin track email systems that would recognise what they could and couldn't send to any given email address and would block what they couldn't send (much of government has this in place) but would then – cleverly – consult a central address book looking for alternative, and secure, email addresses for that person and then send the material to the relevant address. A separate note would be sent to the usual mail address letting them know that they had new mail (and perhaps even allowing them to stay on the cc loop for any replies to the original mail).
I'd have this as a hosted service within the GSI too – one that knew who had secure email capabilities and who didn't and, based on rules about which documents went where, would automatically swap out insecure email addresses for secure ones.
Beyond File Exchange
I'll need a bigger wand for this one. I work with a lot of suppliers on various projects that, inevitably, overlap and interconnect in various ways. We exchange a lot of information – certainly emails and meeting requests but also files, ad hoc thoughts, ideas, cost proposals, requirements, designs, pictures, photos of whiteboards and so on.
Today there is absolutely no way that we can do that in a secure and managed way. I'm looking for the hosted social network [facebook, sharepoint, ning equivalent] for people involved in a programme who *and this is the important bit* whose only shared network is the Internet. They're not on the GSI, they're not on their own corporate network, they're not on some super secure network in a tempest-protected building. Often, they're not even in the same building and occasionally not in the same country. But what they are all doing is working on the same project and trying to stay up to date with torrents of information, latest versions, thinking and status checks. They have tasks allocated to them on the same plans, issues from issue lists and risks from risk lists.
This problem has been solved where everyone can freely access the Internet and exchange data – but I can't find anyone who has solved it in a public/private setting where various (necessary) levels of security prevent the creation of a simple sharepoint (to name one solution) structure.
Some of the data will be freely available (possibly even public – indeed, I'd like to think that a lot of it could be public so that there was far greater transparency over programme status), some of it will be held so that anyone invited by the programme team can access it and some if it will be more closely guarded, available to only a few of the programme team. Controls would probably need to be in place to stop some information from being further circulated – and this is where it gets difficult and where the problem in getting it done so far lies.
This is another service that I'd host centrally but allow access to from inside and outside government. Invite only, management of who was in and who was out devolved to the programme teams. A high turnover team would have to be on its toes to ensure that as people moved in and out of teams, their access was kept appropriate (another thing that, I'd suggest, would make some people throw fits about this kind of service being made available).
There would be risks in this. The expectation would be of rock solid secure collaboration. Yet it would have to be insecure to make it work. Too much security and it would be too hard to use and so no one would use it. Hence, Secure Insecure Collaboration. Or the idea of collaborating securely yet insecurely.
If government programme management – and delivery – is going to evolve … these need to get solved. [Relatively] simple tools like these would allow the delivery umbrella to be extended to a wider range of organisations including small ones who don't normally see the inside of government.

Supreme Court rejects Lindsey Graham's request to Georgia testimony
The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a request from Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) to spare him from testifying before a Georgia grand jury investigating efforts to overturn the election defeat of former president Donald Trump.
There were no noted dissents to the court's short order.
Graham had claimed his actions were legitimate legislative activity protected by the Constitution's "speech or debate clause" and that he was protected from disclosing them to a grand jury.
But Tuesday's unsigned order said lower courts already had protected him from questioning that related to his official duties.
"The lower courts assumed that the informal investigative fact-finding that Senator Graham assertedly engaged in constitutes legislative activity protected by the Speech or Debate Clause … and they held that Senator Graham may not be questioned about such activities," the order said.
"The lower courts also made clear that Senator Graham may return to the District Court should disputes arise regarding the application of the Speech or Debate Clause immunity to specific questions. Accordingly, a stay or injunction is not necessary to safeguard the Senator's Speech or Debate Clause immunity."
The Fulton County special grand jury investigating alleged 2020 presidential election interference by Trump and his allies has called for the senator to testify by Nov. 17. Jurors already have heard testimony from several Trump lawyers, including Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman and Boris Epshteyn. A judge has also ruled that former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows must testify.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) wants to question Graham about calls he made to Georgia election officials soon after Trump lost the election to Joe Biden. Prosecutors say Graham has "unique knowledge" about the Trump campaign and the "multistate, coordinated efforts to influence the results" of the election in Georgia and elsewhere.
The senator's lawyers have said that they have been informed that Graham is a witness in — and not a target of — the probe. Graham's lawyer Donald F. McGahn told the Supreme Court that Graham is immunized by the Constitution and that without a stay, "Sen. Graham will suffer the precise injury he is appealing to prevent: being questioned in state court about his legislative activity and official acts."
Last month, a district court judge said prosecutors could not question Graham about portions of his calls that were legislative fact-finding. But the judge said Willis's team could explore coordination with the Trump campaign in its post-election efforts in Georgia, public statements regarding the 2020 election and any efforts to "cajole" or "exhort" Georgia election officials.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit agreed that those actions "could not qualify as legislative activities under any understanding of Supreme Court precedent." Two of the judges were nominated by Trump.
Willis had warned the Supreme Court that if Graham is allowed to avoid testimony entirely, the grand jury "will be foreclosed indefinitely from pursuing unique information, analyzing any resulting evidence, or using the Senator's testimony to explore additional routes of valid inquiry." It is scheduled to conclude its work by April.

Top 5 NBA Players not in the HOF (HOF Snubs)
In any sport, the best of the best are inducted into the Hall of Fame. The people inducted either changed the sport, helped create it or exceeded at playing the game. In this article I will be going over 5 players (not active) that I think should have made the HOF. Comment down below if you agree/disagree or think I missed someone.
#1- Chris Webber
Webber has a pretty strong resume that makes me believe he deserves to be in the HOF. He was HOF class of 2019, and was actually a top 5 finalist but ended up not making the cut He's a 5x all-star, been on 5 All-NBA teams, and lead the league in rebounds once as a 6'9 PF. Webber retired with 17,182 points, 8,124 rebounds, 3,526 assists, 1,197 steals, and 1,200 blocks in 831 games during his 15 year career. He also coached the Kings for two years.
Career averages: 20.7 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 4.2 assists on 47.9% shooting.
#2- Ben Wallace
Wallace, also (would have been) HOF Class of 2019 was a top five finalist. In nine seasons with the Pistons Wallace made the finals once, and won a title in 2004. People say that Wallace isn't a HOF player because of his "short peak", however during that short peak he was a 4x all-star, on 5 All-NBA teams , and won the DPOY award four times. Big Ben had competition like Shaq, KG, Chris Bosh and many more and still found a way to stop them. He would also be the only undrafted player in the HOF, and is considered to be the best undrafted player of all time.
Career averages: 5.7 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 1.3 assists on 47.4% shooting
#3- Shawn Kemp
Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton lead the Supersonics during the 1990s, and made one NBA Finals in 1996 against MJ and his Bulls. The Sonics lost in six, but put up a fight against the greatest team of all time. Kemp made 6 all-star teams and 3 All-NBA teams. Kemp, for his dunks alone should be inducted into the HOF. He is one of the most elusive, and explosive dunkers during the 90s, and all time.
Career averages: 14.6 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists on 48.8% shooting
#4- Tim Hardaway
Tim Hardaway, makes up the "T" in one of the most iconic three-headed dragons, Run TMC. Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin, who are both HOF players make up the "M" and the "C". If Richmond and Mullin are in the HOF why isn't Tim Hardaway. Richmond accolades, and stat wise is the better player. However, Tim Hardaway has appeared in more all-star games than Mullin, and was on more All-NBA teams. Hardaway was on 5 all star teams, and 5 All-NBA teams. I know the reason that Hardaway isn't in the HOF because of his homophobic comments he made in 2007, but by now he has turned his wrongs into rights. Since 2012 Hardaway has became an outspoken LGBTQ+ advocate, which is why I think he should be in the HOF because he has changed.
Career averages: 17.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 8.4 assists on 43.1% shooting
#5- Chauncy Billups
Billups started his career slowly in Boston after playing for four different teams in five years. However, once he joined the Detroit Pistons in 2002, he turned into an instant scoring option for them after averaging 16.2 points that season. Billups' won an NBA Championship in 2004 and won Finals MVP. He made his first all star team two years later, and then went along to appear in five straight all star games. He also made 3 All-NBA teams, and 2 All-Defensive teams.
Leave a comment down below if you agree/disagree or think I left someone off the list.

In Indiana: Region around Terre Haute Targets Defense Business; Database to Support Growth of State's Defense Industry
In Mission Support/Community Partnerships
The Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce has formed the West Central Indiana Defense Network, a six-county network aiming to increase the share of defense contracts landed by companies in the Wabash Valley. The new group — made up of leaders in government, business and economic development — will focus on community and government engagement, education and research, and support for military personnel and veterans, reports CNHI News Indiana. Officials will market the region's assets, including its transportation network, education and health care resources, workforce and the Indiana Air National Guard's 181st Intelligence Wing; in addition, the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division is located nearby. … Separately, state and local officials unveiled a digital portal designed to bridge the gap between DOD's technology requirements and Indiana's defense industry marketplace. "[The platform] brings the best practices of today's leading industry innovation clusters and digital marketplaces to disruptively scale the process of identification, production, deployment, operation and sustainment of optimized solutions to national defense requirements," Danielle Chrysler, director of the Indiana Office of Defense Development, said at a press conference last week. Development of the database was funded through a $2.7 million grant from DOD's Office of Economic Adjustment, reported WBIW.

You may remember my piece on League City titled 'Tea, Antiques & Books' where my daughters and I discovered the whimsical side of historical League City, TX. We went back and explored a little bit further down Main St, and revisited our favorite cottage shops! Here are the pictures from our fun day!
Imagine my surprise when I entered this amazing cake shop and saw a TON of book inspired cakes. They're gorgeous & unique; I know where my next birthday cake is coming from!
An adorable little shop with specialty clothing, shoes, sock, bows- you name it. There's even a bucket of barbie dolls in the back of the store for your kids to play with while you shop (life-saver!). I said "OMG. IT'S SO CUTE" about fifteen times.
My most favorite store under the sun! I love it even more than Barnes & Noble, and that's saying A LOT. Nana's was a main feature in Tea, Antiques & Books, so if you love what you see in these pictures, you'll really love the peek inside their store in the other article.
See that awesome wallpaper!? That's not wallpaper! It's scrapbook paper that's been glued on with wallpaper glue! And it's been there for YEARS, meaning that Pinterest DIY that i didn't believe would actually work- really does! I'm SO doing this to my office.
The bricks are painted, as well as the faux door frame. The unique vintage touches make the atmosphere of Nana's unique and WHIM-ZAY!
I never knew I wanted a cotton wreath, but I do now. As well as the OH-SO-CUTE hangy thingies from that leaf thing- yes, that's the technical term. I majored in interior design…. not really. I also love the wooden bird cages, anything wooden gives me that Once Upon a Time/ fairy tale vibe. Mix it with some greenery and boom.
PAPER!! I recently discovered Paper Source (see their awesome-ness here). Take a moment and appreciate paper flowers, paper garland, and cute flying birds from the ceiling.
