Bryan Mercer Strives to Keep the Drive Alive
By Jim Clarke, Kawartha Speedway PR/Clarke Motorsports Communications
Close. They say it only counts in horseshoes (and occasionally hand grenades). Midway through Kawartha Speedway's 2011 season, it looked like Port Hope, Ontario's Bryan Mercer was close to earning his first career NAPA Auto Parts ACT Late Model track championship. After scoring a 3rd place finish on opening night, the 15 year veteran racer picked-up a convincing win in the season's first 100 lap invitational – his first main event win since 2006. Another 3rd place effort Friday, June 24th was followed by a history making triumph in the 8th annual running of the 150 lap Summer Sizzler and a $3,000 payday."Between the final checkered flag of 2010 and first green of 2011, our car spent a lot of time on either jackstands or a jig," said Mercer. "We stripped off the body panels and sent the car to Mike McColl's shop in London, Ontario. They updated some of the geometry and other components during the winter. It really made a difference to how the car felt and handled. Our 2007 Monte Carlo felt like a brand new piece every time we took to the track. I've been told a number of people thought it was a brand new car."
The strong, early season showings placed Mercer and his #81 Sine's Flooring/Durmach Tooling/Creative Edge Graphics/Jim's Pizza, Port Hope/Quantrill Chev-Buick-GMC Cadillac/Cressman Tree Maintenance/UAP NAPA, Port Hope/Appleman CARSTAR Collision/ Dent Tec/True2spl Windshield Repair/Clarke Motorsports Communications Chevrolet in a comfortable, albeit not commanding lead atop the Fraserville 3/8th miler's headline division standings. As anyone who is familiar with the world of short-track racing will tell you, things can often change in the length of a straightaway; or in Bryan Mercer's case, the turn of a corner.
"No matter how much I'd like to erase that night from my mind, I'm sure I'll never forget the incident from Friday, July 15th," said Mercer. "I was coming through turns 1 and 2 in the semi feature. I'd already won a heat race, so that meant starting near the back. Another car and I went into the corner running close together and we made contact. I don't know if he didn't know I was there or if the car just broke loose. No matter how it happened, it was frustrating and may have cost us the championship."
In a sportsmanlike gesture, Bryan Watts offered the use of his car for the main event, but the 38 year-old father of 3 could only muster a 9th place finish in the unfamiliar piece. With just a week before the next event, crew chief and father Ron Mercer along with Shane Crombie, Dave Dennis, Jeremy Dennis, Donny Dennis, Dylan Fraser, Danny Langstaff, Mike Lagrois and Terry Stark went to work to get their damaged machine ready for a trip to McColl Racing Enterprises to have a front clip updated. The car made its return Friday, July 22nd, but a second place finish was its best showing in the year's final 6 events. A fluid leak on the final night of the season saw the black bow-tied beast with the patented showroom shine loaded into the hauler after only a couple of laps in the night's first qualifying heat.
"Finishing 5th in points – especially after running so well at the start of the year – was a bitter pill to swallow," said Mercer. "On the positive side, we were only 1 point out of 4th and found what it takes to win. As a team, that makes us more determined to come back even stronger when the 2012 season gets underway."
Mercer says he likes the competition and challenge of racing and the friends he's made over years. The graduate of the thunder car and challenger divisions would like to see a more uniform set of rules from track to track to allow the drivers to travel more. He'd also like to take a stab at the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series before calling it a career. To learn more, see www2.creativeedgegraphics.com/mercer.
Be sure to visit www.kawarthaspeedway.com for details on the on-line voting for most improved and most sportsmanlike drivers in each of the 3 regular divisions. Winners will be announced at the annual awards banquet Saturday, January 14th. The 2012 season kicks-off Sunday, February 5th with the 3rd edition of the Long John 200 Endurance event. Kawartha Speedway will also be part of the Canadian Motorsports Expo – presented by Inside Track Motorsports News – February 10th, 11th and 12th at the International Centre in Toronto.

Everybody recognises the power of marketing and no one can argue that it's a force to be reckoned with. With millions of pounds being invested in so many different campaigns including TV advertising, direct-to-consumer and B2B, marketing means something different for all of us.
A lot of us are uncomfortable with the idea of self-promotion. We've been told that it's "bad" and that if our product is worth it, other people will do our promoting for us. And that's true, if you're a mega brand. But people can't promote what they don't know about and, as a small business owner, the burden falls on you to make sure that people know you exist and what you're up to.
Plan, plan, plan. Have a marketing plan, have a rainy day plan and have a growth plan. Manage your resources, work smarter, not harder, and lastly – believe. There's no such thing as an overnight success, but an idea or person whose time has come.

Infrastructure Today Magazine | Essar Ports Registers Impressive Recovery in Cargo Handling
Essar Ports Registers Impressive Recovery in Cargo Handling
Web Exclusive / Jul 07, 2020
One of India's largest private sector port operators in terms of capacity and throughput, Essar Ports recorded an impressive cargo handling of 11.23 million tonnes (MT) during 1Q2021. For the month of June 2020, cargo handling grew by 75 per cent compared to the April tonnage.
A substantial number of business operations were affected after India announced the world's largest lockdown to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic from March 24. There was a dip in cargo handling at Essar Ports due to dwindling production at its key customers including power and steel companies.
"In June 2020, Unlock#1 was unleashed across the country, and the economy immediately started displaying green shoots of recovery. Our terminals, which remained operational despite challenges faced through the successive phases of the lockdown, have clocked an impressive cargo handling of 11.23 MT. We are well placed and prepared to ensure the nation's economic engines are up and running in the most efficient manner," said Rajiv Agarwal, CEO & Managing Director, Essar Ports Ltd.
The company specialises in the development and operations of ports and terminals for handling dry bulk, breakbulk, liquid and general cargo. It has four operational terminals in India, one each in Hazira and Salaya (both in Gujarat) on the west coast, and in Visakhapatnam and Paradip on the east coast.

A few days ago, a student sent me the following email.
I saw this article online just now. VERY odd. I'd love to learn of your thoughts about it if you have any to share: 'Mindfulness' is a Meaningless Word with Shoddy Science Behind It.
Here's what I have to say about that. Newsweek.com is a meaningless word with shoddy journalism behind it.
The culture of journalism at its worst is about getting people's attention, even if it means stating things in an unnuanced, distorted, and inflammatory way. The culture of science at its best works for the opposite values: fine-grained analysis based on thorough discussion and respectful disagreement. So, their worst: Clever click bait. Our best: Collegial debate.
If you look at the actual articles cited by Newsweek.com, you'll see that in fact they are written by experts in the mindfulness field, several of whom are committed practitioners — indeed, friends and colleagues of mine. Moreover, some of the points mentioned in those articles are things that I've been screaming from my soapbox for years.
In terms of journalism, here's a better article. It sticks more closely to what the researchers are actually saying.
If you're interested in my personal take on all this, you can check out my manifesto What is Mindfulness?
So once again, it's all about expansion and contraction. As the mindfulness meme becomes more ubiquitous, there's going to be irresponsible hype and also irresponsible counter-hype. Hopefully in the end, both forms of irresponsibility will cancel out, leaving a deep and helpful truth in the service of our humanity.
Here's a visual summary of how I view the field of contemplative neuroscience.

Growcom announces new CEO
Rachel Chambers takes on top role at peak industry body for Queensland horticulture
Growcom, the peak industry body for Queensland horticulture, has appointed Rachel Chambers as its new chief executive.
Rachel Chambers
Growcom chair Belinda Frentz welcomed Chambers and said the company's members would be well served by Chambers' diverse background and strong reputation for future-focused, data-driven advocacy.
"The Growcom board's mandate to Chambers includes ensuring the needs of Growcom's members are met through optimising the structural and operational needs of the business," Frentz said.
Chambers comes to Growcom after a short-term contract with the Local Government Association Queensland (LGAQ) as the lead transport and logistics. Prior to her role at LGAQ she served as mayor of the North Burnett for six years and has worked in economic development, education, health, and small business.
Chambers said she was immensely grateful to the Growcom board for entrusting her with their vision.
"The responsibility Growcom has to advocate for and improve outcomes on behalf of its members is one I don't take lightly," Chambers said.
"I look forward to building on Growcom's strong advocacy platforms and shaping an organisation where members are the foundation on which all our knowledge, understanding and resulting actions are based.
"I have a firm belief that to understand completely you must experience it yourself, so I will be an active chief executive right across Queensland, because as we all know, there are not too many farms in Brisbane on George Street."
Chamber said she would strongly represent the members of Queensland's horticulture industry when lobbying government.
"What is near George Street however are politicians. The familiar saying, 'It takes one to know one' rings true in this case, as after spending the last six years as a politician I have learnt the art of being able to navigate, communicate and negotiate with government.
"The horticulture sector will need unity, strength, leadership, and innovation to overcome the current challenges being thrown its way.
"Growcom has been a partner in horticulture for many years, and I will ensure we continue to have the industry's back into the future as we ride out this next chapter together."

Obama's Wars
Author: Bob Woodward
Narrator: Boyd Gaines
Unabridged: 16 hr 4 min
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio
Genre: History - United States
Bob Woodward provides the first inside account of President Obama wrestling with the fate of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the constant threat of terrorism. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with key administration officials, their deputies, and other firsthand sources, Woodward takes listeners deep into the national security state and shows how Obama debates, decides, and balances the enormous pressures facing the modern president.As always, Woodward also bases his work on extensive documentation, including internal memos, letters, detailed chronologies, and meeting notes that reveal the behind-the-scenes realities of the Obama era.Obama has learned that he is not commander-in-chief of the economy. Many of his high-profile domestic reforms—health care, education, and energy—were largely turned over to Congress. But the president has realized the weight and reach of his authority as commander-in-chief, a responsibility that may define much of his legacy. Filled with intimate scenes told verbatim, this is an unprecedented look at a young president responding to the dangers and commitments of the twenty-first century.

Exchange rate crisis drops foreign investor participation in stock market to 16.8%
General and Uncategorized By Temitope N. Dec 15, 2022 No Comments4 Mins Read
Nigeria's exchange rate crisis had crashed foreign investor participation in the stock market to just 16.8% when compared to their domestic counterparts.
Naira-dollar
This is largely due to capital controls put in place by the central bank limiting currency repatriation as well as the disparity between the official and parallel market rates.
On Tuesday, the exchange rate between the naira and the dollar fluctuated between N444 and N446 to the dollar at the official market. However, the rate on the parallel market was N745 to the dollar.
The parallel market, where the dollar is freely exchanged but at a premium of 80% to the official spot rate, is where many firms and investors buy dollars.
In the meantime, the exchange rate conundrum is now negatively affecting Nigeria's stock market. Although the naira's official depreciation against the dollar this year is 4%, many international portfolio managers looking to repatriate funds from the country are unable to access that rate due to a scarcity of hard cash.
Foreign investors yet to return: Foreign involvement in Africa's largest economy has not yet returned to normal since the pandemic-induced capital flight. This is partly because of overvalued naira at the official market and the country's unstable macroeconomic environment.
Foreign portfolio investors' participation in the Nigerian domestic stock market has decreased solely because of the country's volatile foreign exchange market, which is mostly the result of subpar exchange rate management and declining foreign reserves.
However, Nigeria's Foreign Portfolio Investments, or FPIs, increased by 11.8% to N321.04 billion in the third quarter of 2022, or Q3'22, from N287.2 billion in the same period of 2021, or Q3'21.
FPI is a measure of the value of foreign investments in Nigerian stocks. Despite being referred to as "hot money" because of the quick entry and leave, analysts believe the higher balance in the FPI position is due to the investors' inability to withdraw their funds due to the lack of foreign exchange.

59% decline in foreign direct investment: In the meantime, domestic investors' strong appetite has continued to outperform international investors in the Nigerian stock market. Total domestic transactions made up 77% of all transactions made in 2021, while overseas transactions made up 23% of all transactions made during that time.
According to the YTD transaction data for 2022, there were N1.729 trillion in total domestic transactions and N349.59 billion in total foreign transactions.
But since the start of the second half of the year, there has been a slowdown in overall market activity because of risk aversion ahead of the general election in 2023 and a lackluster macroeconomic backdrop.
For example, foreign transactions as a percentage of domestic transactions on the stock exchange is a paltry 16.8% year to date compared to 21.3% same period last year.
In terms of total transactions, foreign investments are about N349 billion compared to N792 billion and N1 trillion in 2019 and 2018 respectively, when Nigeria was not facing a forex crisis.
Note that the elevated level of insecurity in Nigeria has partly also contributed to a 59% decline in foreign direct investment during the past 11 years.
In a nutshell: Africa's biggest economy is suffering from a sharp decline in foreign investments, both portfolio and direct investments, which has reduced FX liquidity.
This has been made worse by the drop in export revenues, which is mostly attributable to the decline in crude export revenue despite an uptick in remittances from the diaspora and non-oil export receipts.
The devaluation of the local currency might imply that domestic investors will want more cash to maintain their current standard of living from a local standpoint. And to do that, they may need to sell some of their stock.
See also Naira Continues To Fall Against US Dollar, Current Rate Being N280 To A Dollar
This explains why the market has been under stagnant pressure in relative terms. This pattern might last for a while, except there is a convergence between the naira's official and black market.
Why are they staying away: The central bank's capital controls are a major disincentive for foreign investors who will like to easily repatriate their investments without any limitations. Since central bank policies limit forex outflows, it makes no sense for them to keep investing in Nigeria.
In addition, the hike in interest rates, especially in Western markets, has also forced most investors to move their funds back to the United States where rates have increased.
Also, to add that Nigeria's inflation rate figure of around 21% is also a major disincentive for any foreign investor looking for decent returns.
Despite these challenges, the equities market seems to be holding up without them with the All Share Index posting two years of consecutive positive returns of 50% and 6.07% in 2020 and 2021 respectively.
The All Share Index is currently up 11% YTD in November and is likely to close positively this year.

ROGER Mullin, Member of Parliament for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, enjoyed a lively visit to Support in Mind Scotland's Fife base at John Hunter House in Kirkcaldy to discuss mental health issues with carers and service users.
Mr Mullin has represented the constituency since May when the SNP won the Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath seat from Labour. He succeeded long-standing incumbent, the former Prime Minister and Labour leader Gordon Brown, who stood down from Parliament prior to this year's General Election.
Mr Mullin's visit to John Hunter House was eagerly anticipated by local staff, service users and carers, who relished the opportunity to share with him their experiences and their views on how best to improve the wellbeing and quality of people affected by mental illness, and offer continued support to families and carers.
A lively two-hour round-the-table discussion took place. Marjory Sprunt, Area Manager for Support in Mind Scotland's Fife services, explained: "Carers and service users spent two hours with Roger, discussing a range of topics.
"These topics included training opportunities which should enable people to return to work, welfare benefit changes and the implications of sanctions as well as a very analytical debate concerning human rights. There was also a lengthy discussion around the parliamentary processes of proposing new legislation.
"We thank Mr Mullin for taking the time to come along to see us and it proved a worthwhile visit."

Chase d'Arnaud Is One of the Greatest Red Sox Hitters of All Time
When you think of great hitters that have donned a Red Sox uniform over the course of the franchise's storied history, names that first come to mind probably include legends such as Ted Williams, Wade Boggs, and Nomar Garciaparra.
As revered as those three individuals are, there's probably one former Red Sox player you weren't thinking of. His name? Chase d'Arnaud.
You might be thinking to yourself, Chase d'Arnaud only played two games with the Red Sox a few seasons ago. How could he possibly be regarded as one of the best hitters in the franchise's history?
Well, I'll tell you why that is. d'Arnaud owns a career 1.000 batting average with the Red Sox. It's that simple. According to FanGraphs, six players have accomplished that feat and d'Arnaud is the only one who wasn't a pitcher. Boom.
Claimed off waivers by Boston from the Atlanta Braves on April 27th, 2017, d'Arnaud made his Red Sox debut on May 7th as a pinch-runner and scored a run in a 17-6 win over the Minnesota Twins.
Two days later, d'Arnaud, then 29, got his first plate appearance with the Red Sox in Milwaukee, when he pinch-hit for Drew Pomeranz in the top half of the sixth inning.
Facing off against Brewers right-hander Wily Peralta, d'Arnaud reached on an infield single and came in to score on a Mookie Betts RBI double a few moments later.
The very next half inning, d'Arnaud's day came to an end with Fernando Abad entering the game in relief of Pomeranz.
d'Arnaud did not appear in another game in any capacity for the Red Sox and on May 18th, he was designated for assignment to make room for right-hander Hector Velazquez.
In total, the California native went 1-for-1 with that single and two runs scored in his brief tenure with the Red Sox. That's good for an OPS+ of 430 and a wRC+ of 474. Not too shabby when you don't think about the number of plate appearances. Hall of Fame numbers, really.
So, without taking qualifications into consideration, Chase d'Arnaud really is one of the best hitters the Red Sox have ever seen.

Elizabethe Holland was awarded a prestigious Gerald Loeb Award in 2010 for her teamwork on a series of articles exposing the shady transactions of auto-warranty firm US Fidelis. But that's not why Holland caught our attention this past year. More impressive was Holland's dogged coverage of the shenanigans within the Northeast Ambulance and Fire Protection District. Holland's reporting revealed how the fire district's attorney, Elbert Walton Jr., billed the agency outrageous fees of hundreds of thousands of dollars while his cronies on the board awarded themselves with lucrative perks and payouts. Holland's articles eventually led to a state audit; auditor Susan Montee called the fire district a "poster child" of bad government, and a judge froze the board's checking account.


With the Football (or is it Futbol?) World Cup underway, the fever has set in big time and everyone seems to feeding off it. The folks at FusionCharts.com picked up stats from previous world cups and put together an infographic using their stunning charts.
While a lot of the statistics shown in the infographic are common info (done pretty neatly though), it brings to light some interesting numbers as well. For starters, the fact that the world cup winners have been from only 2 continents, South America and Europe, both at 9 apiece. Also, the figures for Goals For and Against by the winners clearly brings out the attacking nature Brazilian football has had throughout history. The infographic also brings out the highest scoring games at the World Cup till now. The home team as always is the most supported one, with South Africa having around 1.25 million fans who will be cheering for their team in the stadium. Spain and Brazil start as the overwhelming favorites as expected.
I would have like to see some more themed graphics included and less time spent on graphical bars in the graphs. The World Cup offers so many design ideas with the soccer ball, field shape, goal netting and crowd ethnicity, I think a design opportunity was lost here. Still, good numbers, good fun and a quick look at how big the FIFA World Cup games really are.


We live in tough economic times. Money is difficult to come by and jobs are as rare as four-leaf clovers.

On Team Galactic's private airship, the grunt who has his own thoughts diligently works at the computer, and finally manages to generate a good photo of their target. On the screen, the once blurred silhouette of Lady Berlitz is now in much better resolution, almost showing clearly her facial features.
Born into the number one prestigious Berlitz family, this girl not only has wealth, but is deeply connected to the academic world, with her father, Sir Berlitz, being one of the most active Pokemon scholars. Right now, Sir Berlitz is working as the assistant of a renowned professor named Rowan, and both of them are currently attending a Pokemon Academic Conference at Canalave City. When the girl decided to leave home and go on a journey, for safety reasons, her father has hired two bodyguards to protect her. Now, with both bodyguards gone, she is in a highly vulnerable state.
The grunt walks over to the glass dome at the bottom of the airship, which allows directly visualization of the outside, and spots the Canalave Library where the Conference is being held. He soon sees Prof. Rowan and Sir Berlitz walking towards a food stall for a snack, and sees the calm expression on both men's faces.
Clearly, the girl has not told her father about the disappearance of the bodyguards, and he is carrying out his daily duties as usual. The grunt figures that this would be his perfect opportunity to intervene, and prints out the young girl's picture on a photo paper, ready to bring Team Galactic another step closer to their goal.
Meanwhile, following all the drama at Celestic Town, the trio once again has luck on their side, and moved across the Sinnoh skies on Fantina's Drifblim through the foggy routes, eventually finding themselves back at Hearthome City, the hometown of the purple-haired woman.
Lady Berlitz voices her gratitude to Fantina, and Fantina grins that she doesn't have to thank her, that she can quit her heart and just go home, a joke which she learnt from the boys before and still wouldn't stop laughing over. Pearl feels a bit dizzy seeing the glamorous city again, and says while he is grateful for Fantina's rescue and Drifblim's ride, they have once again moved away from Mt. Coronet, and wonders if they will ever reach their destination.
Lady Berlitz remarks that she doesn't regard coming back to Hearthome as such a bad thing however, since she has heard learnt that a gym exists in the city, and she did not get the chance to challenge the gymleader in their last visit. Pearl is surprised at the Lady's enthusiasm in doing gym challenges, and the girl explains that she is still looking for opportunities to try out the new strength of Empoleon.
Overhearing the conversation, Fantina beams with joy that it will be a great idea, and says she is always looking out for opponents. Her remark is met with silence from the trio, and Dia breaks the awkwardness by saying they are aware that Fantina is a superb Contest coordinator, but the Lady is actually trying to challenge the gym this time. Fantina keeps the grin on her face and says she understands, which is why she is accepting the challenge.
Her reply causes the three young trainers to bolt with shock, and they are surprised to learn that Fantina is the gymleader of Hearthome. The purple-haired woman does a spin with her dress, and laughs that she has studied a lot about Pokemon for the sake of Contests, and the knowledge has also helped her become a gymleader. Winking to Lady Berlitz, she tells the girl to give her best, and says she will definitely not lose to her.
Later, at the suite room of Hotel Great Hearthome, Dia and Pearl are practicing their Manzai.
Pearl: Speaking of Pokemon!
Pearl: We are having another gym battle~!
Dia: Indeed! And this time, our opponent is Fantina.
Dia: (sighs) I don't think there is a chance for the Lady to win.
Pearl: You sound quite pessimistic.
Dia: I am, what else can happen when she can't defend-ina?
Pearl: (collapse)
Pearl: Before we make our challenge, we must plan a good strategy in order to win. (flips out notebook) Erm... our opponent's expert type is... ah! Here it is! Fantina's expert type is... ghost!
Dia: (takes out a toast machine)
Pearl: (smacks Dia on the face) That is a toast!!
Dia spreads honey on some toast for Roo and Beh as he comments that their verses have gotten smoother again. Pearl gets a pensive look, and says he has a suggestion to make. He points out that their Manzai and short conte have already reached a quite stable level now, but as comedians, they must always challenge new ways of entertainment. Dia wonders what Pearl has in mind, and Pearl grins that they shall give a go at the most powerful weapon of a comedian, One-shot Gag, which involves a single act or sentence to make the audience laugh. He bestows upon Dia the homework to come up with one, and Dia begins to play around with ideas in his head, although to no avail so far.
While Dia thinks hard to come up with something, Pearl looks out of the window, and sees that Lady Berlitz is already busy practicing with Empoleon and Ponyta for her upcoming gym challenge. He decides to take Dia's part of role-playing the gymleader this time, and tells Dia to just sit tight while he grabs the Fantina mask and heads down to join the Lady.
Calling out to the Lady, Pearl says he will practice with her, and the girl thanks him with a grin. Pearl takes out his notebook and says since Fantina is an expert in ghost types, she will most likely use the Drifblim they have taken several rides on, as well as a Mismagius which is in the records of her Contest victories.
He wonders how the Lady plans to tackle the challenge, and the girl flips out her Pokedex to check on the data of Mismagius. She states that she will most likely resort to type advantages and powerful attacks, but is a little concerned about the magical Pokemon's famous illusions. To counter the illusionary attacks, she will certainly use both Empoleon and Ponyta, and wonders if it is enough.
Pearl ponders for a moment, and finally suggests her add Dia's Beh to her challenge team. He advises her to pick a 3-Pokemon switch-in battle, and says he shall come up with appropriate strategies for the combination. With that, he tells the Lady to give him an hour and turns to leave, while the girl questions herself if Munchlax is really a good choice to handle a ghost type's illusions.
The next day, at the Hearthome Gym, the trio enters the front door and sees the multi-layered design of the place. Fantina greets them from the fourth floor next to Mismagius and Drifblim, and the dragon-like statue welcomes them for the challenge, greeting them as the children of the future like it always does. It easily recognizes the three, and asks Lady Berlitz to select the type of battle. The Lady decides to go for a 3-Pokmon switch-in battle, and the statue remarks that Fantina has agreed to the presence of observers.
With that, the platform which the trio is standing on begins to move upwards, and they realize that it is actually a lift. Upon arrival on the next floor, they see three closed doors behind a wooden box, which has a piece of paper on it, and the statue explains that in order to proceed, they must pick the correct answer to the question written on the paper, and open the doors accordingly. Lady Berlitz gets closer to the wooden box, and discovers that her first question is a mathematical equation.
Meanwhile, at Canalave City, Prof. Rowan and Sir Berlitz leave the Canalave Library, and the old gentleman believes that they have gathered enough information for the day. He remarks that the long hours of the Conference is starting to take its toll on him, and suggests going for some sweet snacks before heading back to their quarters to rest. Sir Berlitz agrees to the idea, and Rowan grins that he has learnt of a nice local store from the staff at the Conference.
Just then, Sir Berlitz discovers that he has left behind something at the Library, and tells the professor is keeping walking while he goes to grab it. Rowan says he will meet him down the road in that case, and Sir Berlitz quickly rushes back into the Library. As he climbs the stairs to the higher floors, a Gible suddenly appears out of nowhere and stuffs a photo at his face.
Sir Berlitz sees that it is a picture of Lady Berlitz, and a voice comes on to ask if it is her daughter. The scholar turns around to find himself face to face with a man in black cloak, just when a Staraptor appears from behind and gleams its sharp claws at him. The cloaked man claims that they have kidnapped the girl, and demands a ransom of 1.5 billion dollars.
However, Sir Berlitz puts on a calm look, and finds the remark absurd as his daughter is under the protection of two highly professional bodyguards. He advices the cloaked man not to make bogus claims, and says there is clearly no way anyone could get past the bodyguards to reach his daughter. The cloaked man begins to laugh, and suggests Sir Berlitz challenge his credibility by phoning up the two men personally. He can assure him that the call will not be answered, as the bodyguards have already been eradicated...
In the first part of the Manzai verse, Dia says there is little hope for the Lady to win because 'Douse damerissa', which means 'It won't work after all'. The pun is on Fantina's Japanese name, Merissa, which is deliberately added to 'Dame' (will not work) by Dia.
In the second part, the original meaning has been kept.
371: VS Drifblim

Test your Catholic vocab: What is Mystagogy?
Hickory Hardscrabble | CC
Philip Kosloski | Apr 19, 2017
It sounds very mysterious, but is linked to something we just witnessed on Holy Saturday
Following the celebration of the Easter Vigil and their entrance into the Catholic Church, the newly baptized enter into the catechetical period known as Mystagogy. The word comes from the Greek mystagogos, which has at its root the word mystes (one who is initiated into the mysteries). Mystagogy then is a time when those newborn in Christ are initiated into the various mysteries of the Catholic Church.
This period of time typically lasts an entire year, called the Neophyte Year, and traditionally was focused on helping these new converts understand the seven sacraments. Originally the sacraments were referred to as "mysteries," a term the Orthodox Church retains to this day by speaking of the sacraments as the seven Sacred Mysteries.
In the early centuries of Christianity, those who wished to be admitted into the Catholic Church had to go through a rigorous training. To keep a sense of anticipation and to help properly form these converts, the Church did not allow them to witness the celebration of these before they were baptized. The catechumens were allowed to be inside the church, but often behind a veil that entirely obscured the view of the Mass, or they were dismissed after the reading of the Gospel. This meant up until the Easter Vigil, the catechumens had only heard the liturgy and never witnessed it with their own eyes.
As a result, the newly baptized needed much more catechesis to ensure they understood the various rites of the Church and the symbolism behind the sacraments. Additionally, the neophytes were taught the many other mysteries of the faith, revealing more about God's saving action in salvation history.
The Catechism explains that this "Liturgical catechesis aims to initiate people into the mystery of Christ (It is 'mystagogy') by proceeding from the visible to the invisible, from the sign to the thing signified, from the 'sacraments' to the 'mysteries' (CCC 1075).
Many of the Church Father wrote beautiful sermons that have been preserved through the centuries and provide a glimpse of what this period was like in the early centuries of the Church. For example, St Ambrose gave a mystagogical homily to newly baptized on the sacrament of Baptism that sheds light on what just took place at the Easter Vigil.
What is water without the cross of Christ? Only an ordinary element without sacramental effect. Again, without water there is no sacrament of rebirth: Unless a man is born again of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. The catechumen believes in the cross of the Lord with which he too is signed, but unless he is baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit he cannot receive the forgiveness of sins or the gift of spiritual grace.
The Syrian Naaman bathed seven times under the old law, but you were baptized in the name of the Trinity. You proclaimed your faith in the Father – recall what you did – and the Son and the Spirit. Mark the sequence of events. In proclaiming this faith you died to the world, you rose again to God, and, as though buried to sin, you were reborn to eternal life. Believe, then, that the water is not without effect.
Mystagogy is a beautiful time in the life of the newly baptized and received, where the true treasure of the Church is more fully revealed. It remains a vital part of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) and is essential to the flourishing of the faith of those reborn in Christ.


Populism has become protectionism under the mantra 'Make America Great Again'. Britain's exit from the European Union is apparently set to lead the UK to brighter opportunities, but a few details of how to do this are being forgotten for the time being. For instance, there has been a complete disregard for the important, interconnected nature of global supply chains and the relationships between companies and regions in this process.
Contrary to the US and UK, populism will not overthrow Europe's path of 'boring but reliable' economic progress. That may enable investors to look again at out-of-favour European markets and the improving trend in profits. The euro area economy is expected to grow by about 1.5% in 2017, according to European Commission forecasts. An improving economic climate is leading to more relaxed government spending. There is every reason, therefore, to hope that Europe is entering a virtuous, rather than vicious, circle.
To be sure, the political contours seem threatening. The UK is stumbling along an ill-defined path towards Brexit, with the government promising no damage to the economy and full access to European trade, while not paying any bills. A few nervous dissenters, quickly shouted down by a partisan, right-wing press, are quietly asking how this will be possible.
Outside the UK, European politics makes onlookers nervous. In the Netherlands, the populist Freedom party of Geert Wilders, like all current European 'alt-right' parties, has accrued significant support on an anti-immigration platform. But Wilders is unlikely to be included in any coalition government. Furthermore, if there is a referendum in the Netherlands on EU membership, the Dutch have made it clear that it would be advisory only.
France faces a presidential election in April and May. Even if Marine Le Pen of the extreme-right National Front party makes it through to the second round of voting, she is unlikely to defeat either the centre-right François Fillon or centrist Emmanuel Macron. The result will probably be a repeat of the 2002 election, when Le Pen's father lost convincingly to Jacques Chirac. Autumn sees the German elections, where it looks probable that Chancellor Angela Merkel will be re-elected.
Owing to a combination of better growth and emerging inflationary pressures, yields on 10-year bonds have risen to 0.36% in Germany and to 2.56% in the US. This has major implications for banks and recovery stocks. It is clear that, regardless of intense global political uncertainty, the market has chosen to believe in economic recovery.
Companies more sensitive to changes in the economy, such as Atlas Copco in Sweden and Siemens in Germany, are seeing improvements in many areas related to higher investment spending. Banks are seeing a widening net interest margin (the difference between the income generated from loans and the interest paid out to depositors), albeit a gradual one, and increasing demand for loans.
Equity markets have seen a rapid move out of 'growth' and into 'value'. This switch has pushed up the price of value stocks to beyond their 10-year average, while valuations on growth stocks have fallen below theirs. The key to 2017 will be signs that the shift towards value has gone far enough, given the reality that growth in our 'mature, low growth world' cannot be conjured into existence. It is too early to make a significant move back into 'growth', but that may well be the direction of travel in the next six to nine months.

Transcendent Places Around the World to Find Your Inner Peace

Places are not inherently spiritual, but rather become so when we experience a sense of wonder and acceptance, awe or healing by being there and feeling a pure connection to something far greater than ourselves. No matter where we go—whether wondrous cliffs in Ireland or a shopping center in Finland, a turtle reserve or a graveyard—or how we get there, we can be on a spiritual journey. Here are some suggestions to find your own liminal places—spaces between heaven and earth where you can find meaningful experiences both sacred and mundane.

This 41,000-square-mile strip of land along the Pacific coast west of the Andes, punctuated by the Licancabur volcano, considered holy by the Atacameño people, is said to be the best place on Earth for stargazing. Its high altitude, absence of air and light pollution and cloud cover make it an astronomer's paradise even without a telescope. Centuries before the Europeans arrived, the Indigenous peoples here charted the sun, constellations and planets to navigate time and terrain.

Legend has it these fantastic cliffs were built by a giant named Fionn Mac Cumhaill. According to geologists, the 40,000 interlocking columns are the result of a volcanic eruption 56–66 million years ago. As if the stone formations weren't wondrous enough, Giant's Causeway is also a protected nature reserve for plants and birds such as rare sea spleenwort, frog orchids, skylarks and linnets.

A change to our personal environment can sometimes help healing, reorienting us toward our spiritual selves. Transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau built his famous cabin here just three years after the death of his brother John—what biographers say was the greatest grief of his life. He wanted to partake of the "tonic of wildness." As he explained in his journal soon after his arrival, "If I am not quite right here, I am less wrong than before."

It's estimated there are over 100,000 crosses on this hill. Most are inscribed with names and prayers, spanning languages, nations and religions. Despite the Soviets repeatedly bulldozing the area during their occupation—1944 to 1990—Lithuanians left these crosses and other tokens here in peaceful protest. After regaining their independence, this testament to hope and resilience remained.

Kamppi Chapel of Silence
A shopping center in the heart of a major city might not seem the most spiritual place, but this ecumenical chapel which looks a bit like an elegant alien spacecraft, is just that. It was built specifically for sitting in calm, quiet and reflection. When the Finnish Tourist Board explored what would attract visitors to the country, landscape, education and design were considered, but they landed on an entirely different resource: silence.

Rad al Hadd Turtle Reserve
Every April and August, green sea turtles migrate to these 28 miles of coastline. People migrate, too—to witness the miracle of some 50,000 eggs hatching. Like birds and honeybees, the hatchlings are guided by an inner compass on their path toward the sea. In Arab folklore, the turtle symbolizes patience, humility and persistence: traits that make up faith. Watch the hatchlings yourself, and you'll know why.

Paro Valley, Bhutan
The "Tiger's Nest" is perched on a cliff's edge, 3,000 feet above the Paro Valley. Its improbable, precarious construction contributes to the almost-visible magic of this holy Himalayan site. Buddhist master Padmasambhava, credited with bringing Buddhism to Tibet and Bhutan in the 9th century, is said to have hidden texts and ritual objects amid the area's caves and lakes to be discovered and interpreted by tertons, or future "revealers."

Waipoua Forest
Hokianga, New Zealand
On the North Island, the country's largest remaining tract of native forest was declared a sanctuary in 1952. It is home to giant kauri trees, treasured by New Zealanders and especially the indigenous Māori. Two kauri stand out: God of the Forest is the largest of them all—nearly 11 stories tall; Father of the Forest is said to have been living for almost 3,000 years—the oldest tree in New Zealand and perhaps on Earth.

Spending less is essential in today's lackluster economic system. We must all be cautious with funds, but we don't have to quit shopping fully. You can find almost all you need online and usually in a far better selling price. Please read on for more about excellent deals.
Before doing shopping online, make sure that your computer is stuffed with the most recent anti-virus software program. Shopping on the internet is actually a haven for fraudsters. You will even find the ones that are extremely very good to be real just so they can distribute malicious software to the pc.

Goa Travel Guide Goa Trips Sun-Drenched Goa
Sun-drenched Goa
By Nancy Nance
Baga Beach
Calanagute Beach
Anjuna Beach
Flea Market at Anjuna Beach
Basilica Bom Jesus
Se Cathedral
Church of Our Lady of Rosary
The first thing that comes to one's mind when talking about Goa is 'beaches, beaches everywhere'. Goa is popular because of its sandy beaches. There are so many beaches in Goa that if you don't like one, there's always another option. Apart from its beaches, Goa is famous for its Churches and world heritage architecture. The best time to visit Goa is from November to January as during these months, one could enjoy the Christmas and New Year celebration. It is best to rent a room near Calangute beach as most of the travelers go there. The beach is 15 minutes away from the area where all the hotels are located.
Calangute Beach
Calangute Beach is the most popular beach of Goa which draws huge crowds. If you enjoy swimming, this is the perfect beach for it. Many water sports too can be enjoyed here.
The atmosphere is quite peaceful. One could sit here, enjoy the sight of sunset and relax. It's not a crowded beach like Calangute.
This beach is popular with foreign tourists who come here for water sports and to get tanned.
Quiet environment, rocks on the coast and the views of calm sea describe this beach the best. Also, Anjuna Beach is famous for its Wednesday Hippy flea market.
Sé Cathedral
Famous for its beautiful architecture, the place is spread over a large area and has a museum.
Basilica of Bom Jesus
Situated just opposite of Se Cathedral in Old Goa, it's a grand old church of Goa which can't be missed. The earthly remains of St. Francis Xavier are kept here.
It's a seventeenth century Portugeuse Fort on Sinquerim Beach. It was built for clean water storage so that big ships could fill clean drinking water. That's why the fort is named Fort Aguada, 'Aguada' meaning water.

Q: PostgreSQL: Is it possible to build tsvector value manually? I want to implement an information retrieval system which uses vector space model, but with multi-term tokens and a custom term weighting function.
I am considering building my inverted index in PostgreSQL instead of file system. I read about GIN index which build such an index on a tsvector column.
Can I build tsvector values manually without calling to_tsvector function so that I can build my "custom" vector with custom tokens and custom weights ?

A: You can make tsvectors by hand.  But as far as I know you can only assign 4 different weights, A, B, C, or D.  Multi-word tokens will have to be put in single-quotes in order to keep them together as one token.
select $$'two words':1c oneword$$::tsvector;
         tsvector
--------------------------
 'oneword' 'two words':1C

A: In case it is helpful to anyone, building on the original answer:
select $$'foo':1 'bar':2 'baz':10$$::tsvector;
         tsvector
--------------------------
 'bar':2 'baz':10 'foo':1

Gyula Bíró (ur. 10 maja 1890 w Budapeszcie, zm. 23 stycznia 1961 w Meksyku) – węgierski piłkarz i trener.

Kariera piłkarska

Kariera klubowa
Wychowanek MTK Budapeszt, z którym trzykrotnie został mistrzem Węgier (1907/08, 1913/14, 1916/17) oraz czterokrotnie wywalczył puchar kraju (1909/10, 1910/11, 1911/12, 1913/14). W czasach juniorskich początkowo grał na pozycji bramkarza (1902–1903), następnie prawoskrzydłowego, później obrońcy i pomocnika. Według Andrew Handlera miał wyjątkowo dobrą wytrzymałość i cieszył się znakomitą wiedzą techniczną. Jego jedyną słabością była szybkość. Karierę zawodniczą zakończył w wieku 26 lat.

Kariera reprezentacyjna
W seniorskiej reprezentacji Węgier zadebiutował mając 16 lat. W barwach narodowych występował do 4 czerwca 1916, rozegrał w tym czasie 36 meczów i strzelił trzy gole – dwa w spotkaniach z Austrią i jednego w pojedynku ze Szwajcarią. W 1912 r. brał udział w igrzyskach olimpijskich w Sztokholmie – w turnieju piłkarskim wystąpił w trzech meczach.

Kariera trenerska
Po zakończeniu kariery piłkarskiej został trenerem. Początkowo pracował w klubach niemieckich. Od 1922 r. do sierpnia 1923 r. był szkoleniowcem Makkabi Kraków. Następnie powrócił do Budapesztu i na początku 1924 r. przez dwa miesiące pracował w 33 FC, zaś w marcu 1924 r. wybrano go trenerem reprezentacji Polski (funkcję kapitana związkowego pełnił wówczas Adam Obrubański). Był nim w dwóch oficjalnych meczach – przegranym 5:1 spotkaniu ze Szwecją oraz zakończonym porażką 0:5 pojedynku igrzysk olimpijskich w Paryżu z Węgrami. W czerwcu 1924 r. został szkoleniowcem Warty Poznań, którą prowadził do jesieni 1925 r. Następnie pracował m.in. w klubach z Niemiec, Rumunii, Austrii, Szwecji, Francji, Szwajcarii i Meksyku.

Życie prywatne
Z wykształcenia był inżynierem. Ze względu na swoje żydowskie pochodzenie, w 1937 r. w obawie przed coraz bardziej prawdopodobną II wojną światową wyemigrował do Meksyku. W czasach pracy w Niemczech był znany jako Julius Biro, a gdy osiadał w Meksyku – jako Julio Biro.

There are some sales teams that seem to operate like a well-oiled machine. They consistently crush their goals month after month, bringing in one major deal after another. But what is that X factor that makes the difference for them?
Successful sales teams don't just sell effectively, nail the pitch, and know the product inside and out. They also develop specialized skills that give them an edge over the competition and are supported by an organization that sees them as more than just sales reps.
Here are 4 things successful sales teams have in common and tips on how to develop these areas across your team.
Help reps master this skill through video coaching and roleplaying. In your roleplay, act as the buyer and coach your reps to ask the right questions as you discuss your business challenges. Your reps should be able to repeat those challenges back to you and make actionable suggestions.
The average cost of replacing a B2B sales rep is $115,000, according to Forbes Insights. Jim says, "sales enablement leaders have to put as much emphasis on retention as they do on onboarding." Show reps that you are committed to their growth from day one – from onboarding to continuous training and coaching.
But helping reps develop goes beyond training – successful sales organizations help reps grow as professionals in their careers too. Offer continuous learning and assessment paths that reps can follow to get to the next step in their career, whether that's another role in sales or across your company, and make this assessment path part of their continuous training program. For example, if your rep is looking to become a sales manager, include training on leadership skills or a new competency that will help them get to that next step.
"Practice makes permanent, without feedback," said Iron Mountain's vice president of sales enablement, Kevin Starner. In other words, if reps keep practicing their pitch the same way without any feedback, then they'll continue to do it that way. Successful sales teams regularly practicing giving and receiving constructive, performance-based feedback. For example, if a sales manager recognizes that Johnny is getting tripped up on the same objection over and over again, the manager should provide him with the right direction to improve his response during future interactions.
Recreate the scenario using roleplaying and coach Johnny through the right way to respond to the buyer. Reiterate how he handled the situation, how he should handle it in the future, and why he should handle it that way. Then assign him a relevant training on objection handling. After training, Johnny should be able to pass an assessment, showing he's mastered the material.
Don't just focus on manager-to-rep feedback. Sales reps can coach each other as well by providing feedback to each other on video coaching submissions or viewing examples of what good looks like.
Effective sales teams don't just have great sales reps – they also have strong sales managers supporting them every step of the way. Aside from the day-to-day management of reps, sales managers also need solid leadership skills, but those won't happen overnight. According to CSO Insights, 41% of firms don't specifically support sales manager development efforts. This is where successful sales teams stand out – they provide sales managers with onboarding as well as continuous learning just like the rest of their team.
Customer: This includes selling and business development skills, as well as customer management and engagement. Sales managers have to know these key components to lead by example!
People: Coaching is the most important aspect of a sales manager's job – this is an especially important skill for new managers to hone so that they can bring out their team's full potential.
Business: This includes funnel management and forecasting skills – businesses depend on these outputs and forecasts to make critical investments and decisions.
