FOOD MAN CHEW: TV chefs Bobby Flay and Giada DeLaurentiis are shopping daytime talk show.	Post photo composite
Bobby Flay and rising-star Giada DeLaurentiis are in talks to host a "Regis and Kelly"-like daily show — perhaps as soon as next year.
The red-headed chef and pretty granddaughter of famed film producer Dino DeLaurentiis each have their own shows on Food Network — and have been working together as judges on the popular "Food Network Star" competition series.
But this would be a chance for Flay, especially, to break out of the narrow confines of specialized cable and on to mainstream TV.
The show, according to sources, is being pitched to potential networks and syndicators as a new-generation "Live! With Regis and Kelly," where the stars are more than big personalities but also established experts at something else — food.
Flay and DeLaurentiis have the same agent, Jon Rosen, who yesterday declined to comment on the proposed show.
But sources at several major TV studios says that talks are in the "very early stages."
Flay, 47, is practically food TV royalty — along with Emeril Lagasse, Paula Deen and Mario Batali — and one of New York's best-known successful restaurateurs (including the Mesa Grill and Bar Americain).
DeLaurentiis, 41, is, by comparison, a newcomer — she started on Food Network eight years ago on a show called "Everyday Italian" — but is one of the network's most-popular young stars.
The show — if it makes it to the air — would most likely be done out of New York, if only because Flay's business is based here.
Shows about subjects like food, fashion and health — once confined solely to specialty cable TV channels — are now getting serious consideration by the broadcast networks and TV stations scrambling to replace soap operas and Oprah as the staples of daytime TV.
"You have to have a compelling reason to make people come to the TV set now," says Gordon Elliott, the former TV personality who has moved behind the cameras and now produces the new, surprisingly successful ABC lifestyle show "The Chew" (which, after just three months, is drawing as many viewers as the more-expensive soap opera it replaced).
"The challenge now is to put on something useful," he says.
It also signals a feeling within the TV business that, with Regis gone, viewers may not want to tune in to Kelly Ripa — even with a new co-host, once one is selected.
The time may be right for a new TV couple, one seasoned TV exec said yesterday.

After teaching my students about Howard Gardener's Multiple Intelligence Theory, I wanted them to imagine they were a preschool teacher and had to develop activities around a particular children's theme, incorporating each of the 8 multiple intelligences. After randomly selecting a theme, students create a theme board to share their ideas. In addition, students must explain how each of the activities selected relates to the multiple intelligence they've partnered it with. If your students are actually teaching in pre-school programs, this would be a great planning tool for them to utilize.
Note: Prior to assigning this project, students would have learned about Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory via this lesson on Multiple Intelligences.
Introduce the assignment and show students a sample. I project a sample onto my screen, using the monster theme and the activities used in the original lesson as I'm discussing the project.
Students randomly select a theme from the list of options and utilize online resources for activities relating to each intelligence. I encourage students to use Pinterest, and The Perpetual Preschool site for ideas.
Students create grids electronically, inserting activities, pictures and hyperlinks for each activity. If doing this on an iPad, Google Slides works best for creating the grids.
In addition to creating the theme board of activities, students must also explain how their chosen activity relates to the intelligence they paired it with.
I plan to utilize your Multiple Intelligence theme board project idea using a Pinterest board – similar to your children's storybook project. Then I think I will have each student create one of their pinned ideas if time permits.

Q: How a custom GWT Editor can know that a new edit begin (before the setValue) If we have an Editor with LeafValue subeditor.
We can implement the interface ValueAwareEditor. with this interface with can implement a flush and a setValue.
But the setValue is called after the driver has set all values in sub editor.
How can we execute code before the driver set values in sub editor. (This may allow to clear the state of the editor).
Is-there an equivalent of the flush method for an edit (or display) cycle in editor ?
Thanks.

A: So you are re-using Editors trees to edit different objects? Assuming that is the case I don't think there is an event just before setValue. You can always use the EditorVisitor to visit your Editors before you bind a new object?
We throw away the Editor tree each time to try and keep it simpler.

'I Hate It': Ithaca Service Workers React to Cuomo's Executive Order Halving Capacity
By Christina Bulkeley | March 13, 2020

Subscribe to coronavirus
Already reeling from an impending exodus of Cornell students, Ithaca restaurants were hit with yet another obstacle on Friday: Facing a seemingly unabated rise in COVID-19 cases, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.) put forth an executive order on Friday afternoon requiring all businesses in the state to limit their capacity to 50 percent going forward.
Most service workers heard about the decree shortly before the dinner rush hit, sending them scrambling to limit seating in order to comply. At Viva Taqueria, a Mexican-themed downtown restaurant, empty sour cream containers marked every other table as one that was unavailable to patrons.
"We normally have five table sections for servers, we're down to three table sections now," said Lexi, a hostess at Viva Taqueria, who did not want to be identified by her last name. "We took half the barstools out, but there's nothing we can really do about people standing around the bar."
For servers, the executive order creates a direct constraint on their earning potential. As the number of patrons is forced into decline, money earned from tips is expected to see a dramatic dip.
"I hate [the order] because we're already gonna be strapped for trying to make bills and stuff because everybody's afraid to go out," said Spike Brooks, a bartender at The Chanticleer. "I understand we're trying not to spread the disease, but [the order is] not helping anybody."
Brooks was not alone in believing that business was already naturally cut down before Cuomo's order. According to the bartender, fear among the general public has already kept business from being as busy as it would be sans-pandemic.
According to Lexi, the Governor's forced reduction in capacity takes the onus off patrons to monitor their own safety.
"I sort of think that if you're going to come out to eat, then that risk is on you," Lexi said.
And, though The Chanticleer does not generally fill to capacity, Brooks expressed anxiety at potentially having to turn people away at the door.
"That's just going to be a headache," Brooks said.
But reactions to the order are mixed, ranging from Brooks' "I hate it" to praise from Manpreet Chandhar, a server at Taste of Thai.
Highlighting the importance of containing the coronavirus' spread, Chandhar hailed the dramatic measure as a boon to public health.
"If a government implements something, it means to take care of the people," Chandhar said. "It's a good rule."
The order went into effect at 5 p.m. Friday and is currently slated to last 30 days.

Steve Harvey's daughter Brandi turns heads in orange one-shoulder jumpsuit & matching turban
By Aby Rivas
Share this pen
https://news.amomama.com/99119-steve-harveys-daughter-brandi-turns-head.html
Brandi Harvey recently stunned fans on social media with a bright orange outfit, and the lucky women that were able to hear the speech she gave in said outfit, were left stunned for different reasons.
She's one of the eldest twin daughters of comedian and actor Steve Harvey, and like her father, Brandi leads by example in her life. A businesswoman and motivational speaker, Brandi has a holistic approach to life, always working out, eating healthy and sharing wellness tips with her followers.
Through her company, Beyond Her, Brandi works to spread the mindset that happiness can be found by balancing the body, mind, and spirit through a healthy lifestyle.
That same approach to life has led Harvey to become a motivational speaker, always earning a massive response from the crowds that listen to her. Whether they are teenagers, women who have suffered domestic violence, college students, or entrepreneurs, Brandi seems always to have the right words.
She was recently awarded the Ambassador of Change Award in Health and Wellness from Ambassadors Of Change INC. According to their site, they are a nonprofit organization that provides a place "for minority girls and women to be Change Agents in their communities, states, and nations."
Brandi was one of four honorees that attended a luncheon with several women that, in one way or another, have made changes to their community.
To commemorate the occasion, Harvey shared a photo on Instagram showing off the outfit she rocked at the event. Fans were entranced by Brandi's neon orange off-the-shoulder jumpsuit and her matching headwrap. She completed the look with golden accessories and long white nails.
She wrote in her caption:
"Yesterday I was honored with the Ambassador of Change Award in Health and Wellness from @aocinc. It was a phenomenal day. SWIPE LEFT to see my fellow honorees and some beautiful Queens. @beyondher.co #gobeyondher #thewinnerscircle."
Brandi also shared a short clip from the talk she gave at the luncheon, titled "When are you going to #hashtag your own life?". In the short video, she can be heard saying to the room:
"When are you going to hashtag your own life? How is someone else's relationship "goals" because you can get your relationship? How is somebody else's body goals because you can't get your body together? How come is somebody else's business "goals" because you can't discipline enough yourself to get your business together? Is just your life…"
Steve Harvey is a proud father of four kids. Let's meet them

Harvey earned cheers, applause, and sounds of approval from the audience and a good reaction from her followers in her comment section as well. One user commented "Wowwww!!! This just blessed me!!!! Thank you for that push!" and another added "Wow. What a message! #hashtag your own life. I'm guilty of this myself."
A more extended version of her speech can be found on Brandi's IGTV.

Today I took a survey in Catalan; it was the first one I've ever seen with the option "non-binary"!
I was taking a survey in Catalan (about linguistics). When I finished it, I saw that it was asking me my gender. I thought "Well, I will put 'other', as always". But then I saw that the options were male, female, non-binary and other! I felt so happy that I even said "Thanks for including non-binary identities" in the "other comments" section!
Just wanted to share, because it's the first time I see the term "non-binary" in my mother tongue in an official or public place :)

Jeph's attempts to represent every major marginalized group in the United States have absolutely wrecked this comic, and ended up accurately representing nobody.
Jeph...is not a great writer. I know we all have fond memories of QC in its "glory days," but participating in the reread I've started to realize something. Jeph's ability to write a good story is limited to what he himself experienced in his formative days and while he was writing the early strips: life as a mid-twenties-something guy, pining after attractive girls that came and went from his little indie music scene.And he does it well, because he's drawing on what he knows. The dialogue is realistic! Comics don't all end with a shitty-punch-line delivered by a sp0rk-holding-rando...because Jeph probably didn't interact with people like that. The main characters come off as real people because most of them are probably based, consciously or not, off of people Jeph really knew and interacted with.
It's also real. There's plenty of dialogue that reads as entitled, or would now be considered entirely unacceptable in Jeph's writing. See Sarah's "rape/hump" dialogue. This is how Jeph and his friends *probably* spoke. I know that I threw around the word 'rape' much more casually when I was young and immature than I do now. (It also bothers me that Jeph tries to hide the fact that he's grown out of this mindset, but that's a different post altogether.)
Or look at Faye's alcoholism storyline - probably the best writing the comic has seen. It's compelling and readable because it's something Jeph himself has dealt with - he knows those feelings of helplessness and addiction. It's true to life, and as a consequence the writing is almost naturally well done.
And it makes sense! Because things proceed like a person's life often does, for Marten. People come, people leave. You fall in love with one girl, she leaves and you meet another. It's realistic because it's based in reality. It's fun because it has goofy situations, interesting characters, and a "very-pretty-if-you-don't-look-too-hard-at-it" sci-fi angle.
Then we come to today.
Look at how the cast has changed. Aside from having no protagonist, there is not a single main character that Jeph can really relate to on any real-world-experience level. As far as I know, he does not identify as a woman, as a person of color, as someone who is queer, or as someone who is transgendered. There's nothing wrong with that or writing about it, but it's definitely going to make writing characters who *are* living those lives a little harder to write. You don't have the dialogue to draw on. You don't have those interactions with other characters as lived-experiences to draw on.
So you've got two choices. You either write what you *imagine* them to be and sound like, or you do your research. Let's talk about the first, and more problematic of the two options, first. I would encourage everyone to go check out /menwritingwomen for some good examples of why it can be this way. Even if you're doing your best to write it realistically, it's probably going to come off as often-times awkward sounding dialogue. Effectively every female character in the comic has been reduced to this. When they're not serving Jeph's purpose to represent their marginality (May opining the life of a convict, Roko having a dissociative episode, Brun acting emotionlessly and/or discussing clocks, the list goes on) they're acting like Jeph probably *imagines* women act around other women. Because Jeph has never *been* a woman alone with another woman, and he doesn't know the intricacies of homogenous gender conversations of the opposite sex more than a cis-gendered woman could explain had by men alone. It invariably turns to stereotypes - boobs, appearances, relationships.
It also gives you characters, even if you represent them well, who are defined by the one characteristic you created them for. Brun is my favorite example for this. Do we know *anything* about this girl? We know she's an out-of-work bartender, enjoys clocks , and has autism. We know *so* much about her autism and almost nothing else about her because that's probably what Jeph has to draw on. I don't know that he's ever met someone with autism, let alone spoken with them about their life and experiences. We also know that everyone wants to fuck her, but that's its own weird can of worms that I don't really want to address right now.
So what's the alternative, if you want to write about a person who is different from you? I don't think that artists should be constrained and I also think representation is really important. I think that Jeph's *intentions,* to write a comic that accurately represents the lives of members of marginalized groups, *especially* considering everything that's been going on in the United States is an admirable thing. And he actually does hit some elements quite well, actually. I know this sub likes to bash on the realism of Clinton's perceived sexual revelations, but queerness doesn't require foreshadowing to appear in someone's life and Jeph understands this.
But, if you're going to do it, do your research. Be forewarned that from this point onwards, I'm speaking *solely* on theory. I don't get the sense that Jeph has ever researched the communities and issues he's trying to write about, save for the woketwitter threads he reads. Everything he writes now reads like it came out of a 15-post-long twitter thread explaining the virtues or disvirtues of this and/or that. I do not get the sense that he's ever strived to understand anything more than the broad-strokes of an issue, know the key-phrases and topic catchphrases, and sets off to write about it. For starters, *talk* to these communities. Reach out, past Twitter and Deviantart, and get a real understanding of what you're writing about. Meet transgendered people. Work with children with autism. Work with convicted felons. That's what good writers *do* when they want to understand the subjects they're writing about. Yes, that's hard when you're trying to represent *everyone,* so maybe it's time to scale back and focus in a little harder on one issue that's important to you, Jeph.
Here's how I want to conclude this: Jeph wants to represent the marginalized in his comic, and he wants to offer sincere political commentary. I do not believe he does it just for the woke points (although, yes, his Patreon is the specter that will always loom over him). But if it's going to be at all quality, Jeph needs to narrow things down tremendously. Choose your target, do your research, and continuously write about that character, giving them the chance to develop naturally. Otherwise, it's going to be more of this herky-jerky bullshit forever.
Edit: Read comments, decided to add a bit more.
A lot of this comes from Jeph's mixed attempt at what he's doing. On one hand, he's admitted he's trying to make this comic a safe space for trans and other non-binary folk, which I think is great. On the other hand, he's simultaneously telling the stories of the lives of marginalized folks and write social commentary about the world as he perceives it.
And there's nothing wrong with that...except for that you end up with, frankly, shitty storytelling and messages that don't come across very clearly. He has these intense lead-ups, like Faye coming out to her mother, or Roko's dissociative episodes, or Elliott confessing his attraction to someone who (as far as he knows) is a straight man. And then it just...gets resolved. No difficulties, no problems, just smooth sailing. And hey, if Jeph just wants to tell a friendly story there's nothing wrong with that, but it isn't really telling the stories of the marginalized. Because the truth is that those stories usually don't have happy endings. They don't usually end with accepting parents, or a problem that can be resolved with a snap of the fingers. They're oftentimes painful and they're intense, and if Jeph as an author is going to tell these stories then it is his responsibility to tell the truth. I think doing anything else is irresponsible, frankly. He's giving his readers, many of whom are younger and impressionable, a false sense of how these stories usually go.
And I don't agree with the, "It's just supposed to be lighthearted," angle either. Plenty of shows have managed to maintain a tone while handling serious issues. Adventure Time is a great example of this.

Trial Results: Should we suspend the Simple Questions rule?
tl;dr: probably not, no.
On July 28th, 2020, MFA_Nay asked openly for feedback on the "Simple Questions Rule" and how we as moderators handle content curation on the sub. We were responding feedback of many users who were concerned that the sub was stale and/or they were unable to "ask for advice" on the front page. It's been a while since we've considered test-running the counterfactual to our norm, so it seemed appropriate to give it a shot.
On July 31st, 2020, we officially suspended the rule. We were originally considering doing a month-long trial, but came to the conclusion (based on rapid and strong feedback from many regulars, combined with exasperation on our end) that a week would be quite sufficient.
On August 7th, 2020, we wrapped up the trial and solicited feedback in both comment and survey form.
I don't intend to put too many personal takes up here, and will add them down below as a top level comment, but I did promise you some data and figures, so I will deliver those here.
When evaluating the questionnaire, the goal was to find patterns that would pass reasonable muster. The data are too small and perhaps too biased* for any real power (*though there's a case to be made that the respondents are sufficiently representative of the population we wanted the most feedback from; never underestimate the convenience sample).
Looking at respondents' primary reasons for being on MFA, it seems like most people are here to lurk. I'm surprised by how many people said their reason here is "To Give Advice", and wonder if the question should have instead been split into a binary by combining "To Lurk" and "To Get Advice".
Looking at respondents' time on MFA, the mean/median/mode have been here a couple of years (2-4), and barely 15% report being here less than a year.
Most respondents preferred heavier curation (mean 7.3), and their curation preferences were not associated with their tenure here.
Looking beyond the survey at comment and post frequency, you can see that the volume of posts is driven almost entirely by questions and the comment volume is slowly decreasing but steady.
What does this mean? Well, probably not much. Allowing simple questions does not drastically change the traffic, nor does it seem to make regulars (read: the content creators here) very happy. Multiple have expressed in comments and messages that that they are less inclined to create content, and on a 5-option Likert scale question asking "Did allowing Simple Questions on the frontpage make you more or less likely to create content?", half said "Much less likely", less than 10% said "Somewhat more likely", and I didn't even realize there was a fifth option until I was rereading the question and typing this post, because no one put "Much more likely".

WotV PvP Tactics & Mentality - Six Months of Mediena Bombs & how the Meta Evolves in PvP
*** Registration is Now Open until 9/15 for the latest Live PvP tournament, organized by u/LongTimeGaming. There is no entry fee and everyone is guaranteed at least five rounds of combat! Please PM him or myself for details on how to register! ***
For today's entry I want to discuss one of the stronger live PvP strategies currently floating around the meta, particularly at the higher player ranks or with whales smurfing at lower ranks: The Medi (Mediena) Bomb.
What is a Medi Bomb?
Let's start with an example formation:
The non-Medi options are pretty flexible. One of the Mag VCs should be on Medi not House B for extra mag power.
And some idea of what AGI you should be able to see (90+) and other stats:
My medi isn't close to tip top shape - I never use her in live PvP!
Mediena's LB, Cosmo Plume, is well known throughout the community for its power, wide AoE range, and immediate availability. Coupled with Shukuchi Medi has a threat range of NINE squares (movement of 4 plus maximum effective range of 5) and so a forward deployed Medi can reach all possible starting locations except for two on the current PvP map:
Initial Deployment - Medi forward and centered.
From forward center Plume Medi can hit all possible squares except the back two corners - Cid and Mont are about to have a bad day!
Once properly setup the execution of this strategy is as brutal as it is simple: Medi runs forward and tries to OHKO as many of the enemy team as possible. The remaining units in the Medi Bomb formation exist to provide clean-up in the event that enough of the enemy team survives to take out Medi.
Medi Bomb Breakdown - Synergies
The Medi bomb, as it currently exists, comprises three major components: a Shukuchi Mediena, Agility, and as much Magic/Magic Attack equipment and VCs as can be mustered together. If you take away any of these components the win probability of the strategy plummets. Let's examine each in turn:
Shukuchi (and forward deployment) - Without Shukuchi and pushing Medi as far forward as you can you leave a lot of squares open where the enemy team can be hiding. No highly competitive team in live PvP is sticking to the default 'three across' formation!
Agility - Medi's main weakness is her fragility. If Medi doesn't go first there's the chance that the opponent will have a high speed unit in place to OHKO Medi (i.e., Frederika) or will at least be able to reposition their faster units out of Medi's threat range. Shadow Runner on a Medi is a must of course, but VCs that yield AGI are crucial as well.
Magic Attack - Being able to OHKO at least one enemy unit is essential - a unit with 1 HP is as dangerous as a unit with 4000 HP. A Platinum Rod +5, and a high level Trousseau are the most important elements. Mag from Ramuh is useful. You won't have Medi's own mag passive available due to needing Speed + Movement.
Responses to the Medi Bomb - Sample Formations
So here are some sample formations I whipped up - note the screenshots are composites from my main account so levels and etc. are not going to be optimal. There are many variations possible, these are just starting points!
Option 1 - Go Faster than Medi
Gunner Girls that are faster than a Medi Bomb are close to a guaranteed win!
The hardest counter to Medi bomb is a Fred that's faster than her - A properly kitted Fred can OHKO a Medi with sharpshoot off the bat without any external buffs. Because Medi + AGI VC is always faster then a Fred without, you will need to put AGI cards of your own on top of your Fred to ensure you go before the enemy Medi does.
Option 2 - Be able to survive the Plume
This is the second picture here - the first one had an impossible setup for Rain due to my photoshopping (I don't own Rain).
There are of course characters that can survive a plume, even a plume from a super whaled out Medi. Rain is one of these - he's a magic tank off the bat and he has elemental advantage to Medi. Ayaka can stand your viktora back up post plume while Rain can OHKO the Medi.
Option 3 - Be able to Evade the Plume
Miranda is a super useful utility placeholder for these formations
Vinera is pretty popular in live pvp these days due to her combination of speed, power, and high evade. She is essentially unhittable to teams that haven't geared with guaranteed hit options or stacked as much ACC as they can. I don't have a leveled up Vinera to test the above combination for exact hit percentages but an unbuffed Vinera should have about 150-200 evade depending on cards. Not exactly easy to hit with a plume!
A Brief History of the Medi Bomb
Finally, the changes in popularity to the Medi Bomb through time exemplifies the essential elements that define the 'meta' in live PvP: the outcome to nearly every match is a binary win or loss. Any team that is slightly better than another will win almost all the time holding all over elements equal. Medi's evolution in live pvp shows this perfectly.
In the first weeks of WotV, Medi bombs were one of the most common formations available. Medi was I think the fastest launch character and once she hit level 40 she could OHKO most other units common at the time that were also at level 40 (Mont, Sterne, etc.). This meant that Medi could just run up and drop the other team. Lots and lots of Medi v Medi engagements were happening and Medi's dominance in PvE and PvP was often remarked on by jokes or commentary here and elsewhere.
Flash forward to the FFT event or so and Medi bombs disappeared from competitive play. Two things happened: Frederika and increasing toughness of teams. Fred, as I said before, is a hard counter to Medi as long as she goes first and at this stage in the game almost no one had high AGI VCs so Freds melted Medis off the live PvP scene. A secondary effect was that everyone was getting to level 99 on their mains and starting to amass TMRs - Medi stopped being able to OHKO units.
Medi Bombs stayed quiet for the months following FFT until Platinum Rod came out, then whales with +15% AGI off the House Beolve card could go first in most engagements and do enough damage to OHKO broad swaths of units. Now with FFT2 almost done plenty of dolphins or even minnows/f2p willing to proc 5-6 whimseys per day can have their 15% AGI cards so Medi bombs are more accessible.
Essentially, the meta is an unstable equilibrium defined by a complex set of inputs and that binary output of winning/losing. As soon as Medi is one AGI slower then her hard counter *and that hard counter is common* she becomes worthless. Same with the tipping point between OHKO and survival. Right now medi bombs are fast and powerful - therefore viable against many team comps.
Well that wraps up today's post - this one turned out to be longer than I was expecting. Let me know if its too long in the comments and if you have any suggestions for future topics that you'd like a detailed breakdown on please let me know!

Wall Street Week Ahead for the trading week beginning August 17th, 2020
Here is everything you need to know to get you ready for the trading week beginning August 17th, 2020.
Stocks are ignoring the lack of a stimulus package from Congress, but that could change - (Source)
Stocks could hang at record levels but gains may be capped until Congress agrees to a new stimulus package to help the economy and the millions of unemployed Americans.
Stocks were higher in the past week, and the S&P 500 flirted with record levels it set in February.
In the coming week, there are some major retailers reporting earnings, including Walmart, Home Depot and Target, but the season is mostly over and the market is entering a quiet period. There are minutes from the Fed's last meeting, released Wednesday, and housing data, including starts Tuesday and existing sales Friday.
Investors had been watching efforts by Congress to agree to a new stimulus package, but talks have failed and the Senate has gone on recess. There is a concern that Congress will not be convinced to provide a big enough package when it does get to work again on the next stimulus round because recent economic reports look stronger. July's retail sales, for example, climbed to a record level and recovered to pre-pandemic levels.
"The juxtaposition of getting more fiscal stimulus and better data has paralyzed us in our tracks … we've seen this sideways [market] action," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at National Alliance. "It feels like we need more action from Congress, and the concern is the longer we wait, the better the data gets and the less impactful the next round of stimulus will be."
Some technical analysts say the market may pull back around the high, to allow it to consolidate gains before moving higher into the end of the year. The S&P 500 reached an all-time high of 3,393 on Feb. 19.
Hogan said he expects stocks to tread sideways during the dog days of August, but they could begin to react negatively to the election in September. He also said it is important that progress continue against the spread of Covid-19, as the economy continues to reopen.
Peter Boockvar, chief investment strategist at Bleakley Advisory Group, said the market could have a wakeup call at some point that the stimulus package has not been approved.
"I think it will cross over a line where they care," he said. "I think the market is in suspended animation of believing there will be a magical deal." Boockvar said he expects a deal ultimately, but the impact is not likely to be as big as the last round of funding.
"What they're not grasping is any deal, any extension of unemployment benefits, is going to be smaller than it was, and the rate of change should be the most important thing investors focus on," he said. "Not the binary outcome of whether there's a deal or no deal. There's going to be less air going into the balloon."
It's the economy
Still, economists expect to see a strong rebound in the third quarter, and are anticipating about about a 20% jump in third-quarter growth. But they also say that could be threatened if Congress does not help with another stimulus package.
Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, described the July retail sales as a perfect V-shaped recovery, but cautioned it would not last unless more aid gets to individuals and cities and states. Democrats have sought a $3 trillion spending package, and Republicans in the Senate offered a $1 trillion package. They could not reach a compromise, including on a $600 weekly payment to individuals on unemployment which expired July 31.
President Donald Trump has tried to fill the gap with executive orders to provide extra benefits to those on unemployment, but the $300 federal payment and $100 from states may take some time to reach individuals, as the processing varies by state. He has also issued an order instructing the Treasury to temporarily defer collection of payroll taxes from individuals making up to $104,000.
"I think in August and September, there will be a lot of Ws, if there's not more help here," said Zandi, referring to an economic recovery that retrenches from a V shape before heading higher again. "It's clearly perplexing. It may take the stock market to say we're not going to get what we expect, and sell off and light a fire."
Zandi said it could come to a situation like 2008, where the stock market sold off sharply before Congress would agree to a program that helped financial companies.
"We need a TARP moment to get these guys to help. Maybe if the claims tick higher and the August employment numbers are soft, given the president is focused on the stock market, that might be what it takes to get them back to the table in earnest," he said, referring to the Troubled Asset Relief Program that helped rescue banks during the financial crisis.
He ultimately expects a package of about $1.5 trillion to be approved in September.
The lack of funding for state and local governments could result in more layoffs, as they struggle with their current 2021 budgets, Zandi said. Already 1.3 million public sector jobs have been lost since February, and there will be more layoffs and more programs and projects cancelled. The impact will hit contractors and other businesses that provide services to local governments.
"The multipliers on state and local government are among the highest of any form of support, so if you don't provide it, it's going to ripple through the economy pretty fast," he said.
Economists expect to see a softening in consumer spending in August with the more than 28 million Americans on unemployment benefits as of mid-July no longer receiving any supplemental pay.
"The real irony is things are shaping up that September is going to be a bad month, and that's going to show up in all the data in October," Zandi said. "They are really taking a chance on this election by not acting."
4 Charts That Will Amaze You
The S&P 500 Index is a few points away from a new all-time high, completing one of the fastest recoveries from a bear market ever. But this will also seal the deal on the shortest bear market ever. Remember, the S&P 500 Index lost 20% from an all-time high in only 16 trading days back in February and March, so it makes sense that this recovery could be one of the fastest ever.
From the lows on March 23, the S&P 500 has now added more than 50%. Many have been calling this a bear market rally for months, while we have been in the camp this is something more. It's easy to see why this rally is different based on where it stands versus other bear market rallies:
They say the stock market is the only place where things go on sale, yet everyone runs out of the store screaming. We absolutely saw that back in March and now with stocks near new highs, many have missed this record run. Here we show how stocks have been usually higher a year or two after corrections.
After a historic drop in March, the S&P 500 has closed higher in April, May, June, and July. This rare event has happened only 11 other times, with stocks gaining the final five months of the year a very impressive 10 times. Only 2018 and the nearly 20% collapse in December saw a loss those final five months.
As shown in the LPL Chart of the Day, this bear market will go down as the fastest ever, at just over one month. The recovery back to new highs will be five months if we get there by August 23, making this one of the fastest recoveries ever. Not surprisingly, it usually takes longer for bear markets in a recession to recover; only adding to the impressiveness of this rally.
"It normally takes 30 months for bear markets during a recession to recover their losses, which makes this recovery all the more amazing," said LPL Financial Chief Market Strateigst Ryan Detrick.. "Then again, there has been nothing normal about this recession, so maybe we shouldn't be shocked about yet another record going down in 2020."
When a Few Basis Points Packs a Punch
US Treasury yields have been on the rise this week with the 10-year yield rising 13 basis points (bps) from 0.56% up to 0.69% after getting as high as 0.72% on Thursday. A 13 bps move higher in interest rates may not seem like a whole lot, but with rates already at such low levels, a small move can have a pretty big impact on the prices of longer-term maturities.
Starting with longer-term US Treasuries, TLT, which measures the performance of maturities greater than 20 years, has declined 3.5% this week. Now, for a growth stock, 3.5% is par for the course, but that kind of move in the Treasury market is no small thing. The latest pullback for TLT also coincides with another failed attempt by the ETF to trade and stay above $170 for more than a day.
The further out the maturity window you go in the fixed income market, the bigger the impact of the move higher in interest rates. The Republic of Austria issued a 100-year bond in 2017, and its movements exemplify the wild moves that small changes in interest rates (from a low base) can have on prices. Just this week, the Austrian 100-year was down over 5%, which is a painful move no matter what type of asset class you are talking about. This week's move, though, was nothing compared to the stomach-churning swings from earlier this year. When Covid was first hitting the fan, the 100-year rallied 57% in the span of less than two months. That kind of move usually occurs over years rather than days, but in less than a third of that time, all those gains disintegrated in a two-and-a-half week span from early to late March. Easy come, easy go. Ironically enough, despite all the big up and down moves in this bond over the last year, as we type this, the bond's price is the same now as it was on this same day last year.
Retail Sales Rock to New Highs
At the headline level, July's Retail Sales report disappointed as the reading missed expectations by nearly a full percentage point. Just as soon as the report was released, we saw a number of stories pounce on the disappointment as a sign that the economy was losing steam. Looked at in more detail, though, the July report wasn't all that bad. While the headline reading rose less than expected (1.2% vs 2.1%), Ex Autos and Ex Autos and Gas, the results were much better than expected. Not only that, but June's original readings were all revised higher by around a full percentage point.
Besides the fact that this month's report was better underneath the surface and June's reading was revised higher, it was also notable as the seasonally-adjusted annualized rate of sales in July hit a new record high. After the last record high back in January, only five months passed until American consumers were back to their pre-Covid spending ways. For the sake of comparison, back during the Financial Crisis, 40 months passed between the original high in Retail Sales in November 2007 and the next record high in April 2011. 5 months versus 40? Never underestimate the power of the US consumer!
While the monthly pace of retail sales is back at all-time highs, the characteristics behind the total level of sales have changed markedly in the post COVID world. In our just released B.I.G. Tips report we looked at these changing dynamics to highlight the groups that have been the biggest winners and losers from the shifts.
100 Days of Gains
Today marked 100 trading days since the Nasdaq 100's March 20th COVID Crash closing low. Below is a chart showing the rolling 100-trading day percentage change of the Nasdaq 100 since 1985. The 59.8% gain over the last 100 trading days ranks as the 3rd strongest run on record. The only two stronger 100-day rallies ended in January 1999 and March 2000.
While the Nasdaq 100 bottomed on Friday, March 20th, the S&P 500 bottomed the following Monday (3/23). This means tomorrow will mark 100 trading days since the S&P 500's COVID Crash closing low. Right now the rolling 100-day percentage change for the S&P 500 sits at +46.7%. But if the S&P manages to trade at current levels tomorrow, the 100-day gain will jump above 50%. It has been 87 years (1933) since we've seen a 100-day gain of more than 50%!
B.I.G. Tips - New Highs In Sight
Whether you want to look at it from the perspective of closing prices or intraday levels, the S&P 500 is doing what just about everybody thought would be impossible less than five months ago - approaching record highs. Relative to its closing high of 3,386.15, the S&P 500 is just 0.27% lower, while it's within half of a percent from its record intraday high of 3,393.52. Through today, the S&P 500 has gone 120 trading days without a record high, and as shown in the chart below, the current streak is barely even visible when viewed in the perspective of all streaks since 1928. Even if we zoom in on just the last five years, the current streak of 120 trading days only ranks as the fourth-longest streak without a new high.
While the S&P 500's 120-trading day streak without a new high isn't extreme by historical standards, the turnaround off the lows has been extraordinary. In the S&P 500's history, there have been ten prior declines of at least 20% from a record closing high. Of those ten prior periods, the shortest gap between the original record high and the next one was 309 trading days, and the shortest gap between highs that had a pullback of at least 30% was 484 tradings days (or more than four times the current gap of 120 trading days). For all ten streaks without a record high, the median drought was 680 trading days.
Whenever the S&P 500 does take out its 2/19 high, the question is whether the new high represents a breakout where the S&P 500 keeps rallying into evergreen territory, or does it run out of gas after finally reaching a new milestone? To shed some light on this question, we looked at the S&P 500's performance following each prior streak of similar duration without a new high.

Professor's 1979 Chemistry Nobel Prize Gold Medal Offered by Heritage Auctions
Heritage Auction
Nobel Prize medal presented to chemist Georg Wittig for 1954 discovery of "The Wittig Reaction" is accompanied in October 19, 2016 auction by four other prestigious medals awarded to the noted German researcher and educator
The historic 1979 Nobel Prize gold medal for chemistry awarded to Professor Georg Wittig (1897 – 1987) of Germany will be offered by Heritage Auctions (www.HA.com) on October 19, 2016 as part of Heritage's two-day Historical Manuscripts Grand Format Auction. Four other gold medals awarded over the years to Prof. Wittig are also being offered together with the large, 22 carat Nobel Prize medal.
"Dr. Georg Wittig was a distinguished researcher, author and educator who received the 1972 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his 1954 discovery of what is now known as The Wittig Reaction, a process of regulating the regrouping of atoms in a molecule," said Cristiano Bierrenbach, Heritage's Executive Vice President of International Numismatics.
"Professor Wittig's work along with Nobel Prize co-recipient Herbert C. Brown made it possible to mass produce hundreds of important drugs, such as the arthritis medicine hydrocortisone, as well as mass produce industrial chemicals that would otherwise be prohibitively expensive," Bierrenbach explained.
The Nobel Prize medal, designed by Swedish artist Erik Lindberg, measures 6.5 centimeters in diameter (approximately 2.5 inches) and weighs 204.0 grams (approximately 7.2 ounces). Struck in 22 carat gold, it features female allegories of Science and Nature, with Wittig's name and the year of the award engraved beneath. The front side features the likeness of Alfred Nobel with the dates of his birth, 1833, and death, 1896, in Roman numerals.
The medal is housed in the original presentation case received by Prof. Wittig in 1972.
The four other medals received by Prof. Wittig and accompanying the Nobel Prize medal in the auction are:
–The Paul Karrer Award 22 carat, 97.7 grams, two inches in diameter gold medal presented in 1973 by Universitat Zurich.
–The 14 carat, 123 grams, 2.25 inches gold medal Otto Hahn Prize for Chemistry and Physics awarded in 1967, and is considered the highest German award for outstanding scientific achievements.
–The Roger Adams Medal given by the American Chemical Society in 1973. It is cast in 10 carat gold, weighs 258.9 grams, and is three inches in diameter.
–The Adolf Von Baeyer medal awarded in 1953 to Prof. Wittig. It is gold-plated, weighs 83.3 grams and is two inches in diameter.
Full descriptions of all the medals are available online.
"Most of Dr. Wittig's scientific work, including that which won him the Nobel Prize, was conducted during his years at the University of Tübingen. He was known as a meticulous teacher who set very high standards for his students, and he established a productive research group of young, promising scientists," said Bierrenbach.
Prof. Wittig died on August 26, 1987, just a few weeks after his 90th birthday.
For additional information about the medal or other items offered in this auction, contact Heritage Auctions at (877) 437-4824 or visit online at www.HA.com.

Euclid's theorem is a fundamental statement in number theory that asserts that there are infinitely many prime numbers. It was first proved by Euclid in his work Elements. There are several proofs of the theorem.

Euclid's proof
Euclid offered a proof published in his work Elements (Book IX, Proposition 20), which is paraphrased here.

Consider any finite list of prime numbers p1, p2, ..., pn. It will be shown that at least one additional prime number not in this list exists. Let P be the product of all the prime numbers in the list: P = p1p2...pn. Let q = P + 1. Then q is either prime or not:

If q is prime, then there is at least one more prime that is not in the list, namely, q itself.
If q is not prime, then some prime factor p divides q. If this factor p were in our list, then it would divide P (since P is the product of every number in the list); but p also divides P + 1 = q, as just stated. If p divides P and also q, then p must also divide the difference of the two numbers, which is (P + 1) − P or just 1. Since no prime number divides 1, p cannot be in the list. This means that at least one more prime number exists beyond those in the list.

This proves that for every finite list of prime numbers there is a prime number not in the list. In the original work, as Euclid had no way of writing an arbitrary list of primes, he used a method that he frequently applied, that is, the method of generalizable example. Namely, he picks just three primes and using the general method outlined above, proves that he can always find an additional prime. Euclid presumably assumes that his readers are convinced that a similar proof will work, no matter how many primes are originally picked.

Euclid is often erroneously reported to have proved this result by contradiction beginning with the assumption that the finite set initially considered contains all prime numbers, though it is actually a proof by cases, a direct proof method. The philosopher Torkel Franzén, in a book on logic, states, "Euclid's proof that there are infinitely many primes is not an indirect proof [...] The argument is sometimes formulated as an indirect proof by replacing it with the assumption 'Suppose  are all the primes'. However, since this assumption isn't even used in the proof, the reformulation is pointless."

Variations
Several variations on Euclid's proof exist, including the following:

The factorial n! of a positive integer n is divisible by every integer from 2 to n, as it is the product of all of them. Hence,  is not divisible by any of the integers from 2 to n, inclusive (it gives a remainder of 1 when divided by each). Hence  is either prime or divisible by a prime larger than n. In either case, for every positive integer n, there is at least one prime bigger than n. The conclusion is that the number of primes is infinite.

Euler's proof

Another proof, by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler, relies on the fundamental theorem of arithmetic: that every integer has a unique prime factorization. What Euler wrote (not with this modern notation and, unlike modern standards, not restricting the arguments in sums and products to any finite sets of integers) is equivalent to the statement that we have

where  denotes the set of the  first prime numbers, and  is the set of the positive integers whose prime factors are all in

In order to show this, one expands each factor in the product as a geometric series, and distributes the product over the sum (this is a special case of the Euler product formula for the Riemann zeta function).

In the penultimate sum every product of primes appears exactly once, and so the last equality is true by the fundamental theorem of arithmetic. In his first corollary to this result  Euler denotes by a symbol similar to  the « absolute infinity » and writes that the infinite sum in the statement equals the «  value »  , to which the infinite product is thus also equal (in modern terminology this is equivalent to say that the partial sum up to  of the harmonic series diverges asymptotically like ). Then in his second corollary Euler notes that the product

converges to the finite value 2, and that there are consequently more primes than squares («  sequitur infinities plures esse numeros primos »). This proves Euclid Theorem.

In the same paper (Theorem 19) Euler in fact used the above equality to prove a much stronger theorem that was unknown before him, namely that the series

is divergent, where  denotes the set of all prime numbers (Euler writes that the infinite sum  , which in modern terminology is equivalent to say that the partial sum up to  of this series behaves asymptotically like ).

Erdős's proof

Paul Erdős gave a proof that also relies on the fundamental theorem of arithmetic. Every positive integer has a unique factorization into a square-free number and a square number .  For example, .

Let  be a positive integer, and let  be the number of primes less than or equal to . Call those primes .  Any positive integer  which is less than or equal to  can then be written in the form

where each  is either  or . There are  ways of forming the square-free part of .  And  can be at most , so .  Thus, at most  numbers can be written in this form.  In other words,

Or, rearranging, , the number of primes less than or equal to , is greater than or equal to .  Since  was arbitrary,  can be as large as desired by choosing  appropriately.

Furstenberg's proof

In the 1950s, Hillel Furstenberg introduced a proof by contradiction using point-set topology.

Define a topology on the integers Z, called the evenly spaced integer topology, by declaring a subset U ⊆ Z to be an open set if and only if it is either the empty set, ∅, or it is a union of arithmetic sequences S(a, b) (for a ≠ 0), where

Then a contradiction follows from the property that a finite set of integers cannot be open and the property that the basis sets S(a, b) are both open and closed, since

cannot be closed because its complement is finite, but is closed since it is a finite union of closed sets.

Recent proofs

Proof using the inclusion-exclusion principle

Juan Pablo Pinasco has written the following proof.

Let p1, ..., pN be the smallest N primes. Then by the inclusion–exclusion principle, the number of positive integers less than or equal to x that are divisible by one of those primes is

Dividing by x and letting x → ∞ gives

This can be written as

If no other primes than p1, ..., pN exist, then the expression in (1) is equal to  and the expression in (2) is equal to 1, but clearly the expression in (3) is not equal to 1. Therefore, there must be more primes than  p1, ..., pN.

Proof using Legendre's formula

In 2010, Junho Peter Whang published the following proof by contradiction.  Let k be any positive integer.  Then according to Legendre's formula (sometimes attributed to de Polignac)

where

But if only finitely many primes exist, then

(the numerator of the fraction would grow singly exponentially while by Stirling's approximation the denominator grows more quickly than singly exponentially),
contradicting the fact that for each k the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator.

Proof by construction

Filip Saidak gave the following proof by construction, which does not use reductio ad absurdum or Euclid's lemma (that if a prime p divides ab then it must divide a or b).

Since each natural number (> 1) has at least one prime factor, and two successive numbers n and (n + 1) have no factor in common, the product n(n + 1) has more different prime factors than the number n itself.  So the chain of pronic numbers:1×2 = 2 {2},    2×3 = 6 {2, 3},    6×7 = 42 {2, 3, 7},    42×43 = 1806 {2, 3, 7, 43},    1806×1807 = 3263442 {2, 3, 7, 43, 13, 139}, · · ·provides a sequence of unlimited growing sets of primes.

Proof using the incompressibility method
Suppose there were only k primes (p1, ..., pk). By the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, any positive integer n could then be represented as

where the non-negative integer exponents ei together with the finite-sized list of primes are enough to reconstruct the number. Since  for all i, it follows that  for all i (where  denotes the base-2 logarithm).  This yields an encoding for n of the following size (using big O notation):
 bits.
This is a much more efficient encoding than representing n directly in binary, which takes  bits. An established result in lossless data compression states that one cannot generally compress N bits of information into fewer than N bits. The representation above violates this by far when n is large enough since .  Therefore, the number of primes must not be finite.

Stronger results

The theorems in this section simultaneously imply Euclid's theorem and other results.

Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progressions

Dirichlet's theorem states that for any two positive coprime integers a and d, there are infinitely many primes of the form a + nd, where n is also a positive integer. In other words, there are infinitely many primes that are congruent to a modulo d.

Prime number theorem

Let  be the prime-counting function that gives the number of primes less than or equal to , for any real number . The prime number theorem then states that  is a good approximation to , in the sense that the limit of the quotient of the two functions  and  as  increases without bound is 1:

Using asymptotic notation this result can be restated as

This yields Euclid's theorem, since

Bertrand–Chebyshev theorem

In number theory, Bertrand's postulate is a theorem stating that for any integer , there always exists at least one prime number such that

Bertrand–Chebyshev theorem can also be stated as a relationship with , where  is the prime-counting function (number of primes less than or equal to ):
 for all

This statement was first conjectured in 1845 by Joseph Bertrand (1822–1900). Bertrand himself verified his statement for all numbers in the interval
His conjecture was completely proved by Chebyshev (1821–1894) in 1852 and so the postulate is also called the Bertrand–Chebyshev theorem or Chebyshev's theorem.

Kadampa Buddhism is a Mahayana Buddhist school founded by the great Indian Buddhist Master, Atisha (AD 982-1054). His followers are known as "Kadampas." "Ka" refers to Buddha's teachings, and "dam" to Atisha's special Lamrim instructions known as "the stages of the path to enlightenment." Kadampas are practitioners who regard Buddha's teachings as personal instructions and put them into practice by following the instructions of Lamrim.
The Kadampa tradition was later promoted widely in Tibet by Je Tsongkhapa and his followers who were known as the 'New Kadampas'.
Transforming daily activities into the path
By integrating their knowledge of all Buddha's teachings into their practice of Lamrim, and by integrating this into their everyday lives, Kadampa Buddhists are encouraged to use Buddha's teachings as practical methods for transforming daily activities into the path to enlightenment.
The great Kadampa Teachers are famous not only for being great scholars, but also for being spiritual practitioners of immense purity and sincerity.
The lineage of these teachings, both their oral transmission and blessings, was then passed from teacher to disciple, spreading throughout much of Asia and now to many countries throughout the western world.
Buddha's teachings, which are known as "Dharma", are likened to a wheel that moves from country to country in accordance with changing conditions and people's karmic inclinations.
The external forms of presenting Buddhism may change as it encounters different cultures and societies, but its essential authenticity is ensured through the continuation of an unbroken lineage of realized practitioners.
Modern Kadampa Buddhism
Through the activities and dedication of the renowned Buddhist Master, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, Kadampa Buddhism has spread to many countries in recent years.
Geshe Kelsang has worked tirelessly to spread Kadampa Buddhism throughout the world by giving extensive teachings, writing many profound texts on Kadampa Buddhism and founding the New Kadampa Tradition. His latest book, Modern Buddhism, presents the very essence of the Kadampa Buddhist path, both Sutra and Tantra, in an accessible manner that can be easily integrated into our modern lives. Modern Buddhism is available as a free e-book.
