Fraser Institute ranked 14th best think tank in the world; recognized as an international Centre of Excellence
— Published on February 2, 2021
The Fraser Institute ranks 14th best think tank worldwide out of more than 11,000 organizations, according to the University of Pennsylvania's annual Global Go To Think Tank Index that was released last week.
Notably, the Institute was also named a Centre of Excellence, placing it among an elite group of institutions that are recognized for their sustained commitment to quality and excellence in public policy research.
"Our ranking as one of the best think tanks in the world and, in addition, being acknowledged as a Centre of Excellence is a testament to the dedication and commitment of our diverse team across Canada and the United States," said Niels Veldhuis, Fraser Institute president.
"What makes our organization unique is our ability to disseminate our research to millions of Canadians each year, and we are therefore particularly proud to rank in the top ten worldwide for our digital communications, including 5th for best use of social media and 7th for best use of the internet."
In addition to these rankings, the Fraser Institute also ranks:
2nd in the world for social policy research;
6th in the world for health policy research;
11th for best use of external relations and public engagement;
15th for most innovative policy ideas; and,
16th for best think tank network.
While the Fraser Institute plays a critical role within Canada, it also leads a global network of more than 120 independent think-tanks from 95 nations and territories through its Economic Freedom Network. Seven other members of that network ranked among the top 100 think-tanks in the world in this year's index, including:
Cato Institute (United States), 27th;
Center for China and Globalization (China), 64th;
Institute of Economic Affairs (United Kingdom), 66th;
Libertad y Desarollo (Chile), 70th;
Centre for Civil Society (India), 83rd;
Association for Liberal Thinking (Turkey), 90th;
Timbro (Sweden), 93rd; and
Centro de Divulgacion del Conocimiento Economico para la Libertad (Venezuela) 99th
"The Fraser Institute supports the efforts of think tanks around the world in providing empirical research to educate citizens and contribute to fact-based debates on public policies," Veldhuis said.
"In particular, we would like to recognize the efforts of some of our international partners for doing so well in this year's ranking."

Willmott Dixon wins £8m Nottingham Science Park contract
March 22, 2019 – Willmott Dixon has been awarded an £8m contract by Nottingham City Council to expand Nottingham Science Park.
Willmott Dixon will build Nottingham Science Park's second facility, creating 22,700 sq ft of Grade A office space for companies looking for research and development facilities near similar organisations. The building has been designed by CPMG Architects to complement neighbouring buildings and is the first phase in a series of new developments at the site in the coming years.
The D2N2 Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) has helped to fund the scheme, which was procured via Scape's national construction framework.
Nottingham City Council leader Jon Collins said: "Nottingham has a proud history of manufacturing, and of scientific discovery through Boots, the discovery of ibuprofen and the creation of the MRI machine. We want to create many more opportunities for discoveries, cutting edge technology or new breakthroughs, and investing in a new hi-tech building is a crucial step in that. Being close to both the University of Nottingham and the Boots Enterprise Zone only enhances the opportunities the Science Park can foster. By investing in an innovative sector of the city and national industry, we can all benefit from this in the future as firms expand and invest more into themselves and into Nottingham."
Willmott Dixon will work with Perfect Circle, a consultancy consortium comprising Pick Everard, Gleeds and Aecom, to deliver the new building by early 2020.
Science buildings are becoming a bit of a speciality for the contractor, having delivered similar projects such as BioCity Discovery Building, a life science incubator on the edge of Nottingham's Creative Quarter for Nottingham City Council, and the University of Derby's STEM building, as well as Menai Science Park in Anglesey and Boole Technology Centre in Lincoln.

While Wang Wan was rushing and begging for Li Si, unexpectedly Li Si raised his voice to criticize Da Qin's arrogance and want to cannibalize, calling the tiger wolf in vain, making him almost provoke killing. Fortunately, Ying Zheng thought that Li Si was loyal to his ears, and he kept his life for the time being, and he succeeded him as the official, and was on duty at night as usual.
After this incident, Wang Wan personally invited Li Si to drink, and the two of them fell in love with each other, and the friendship was even further enhanced. Yao Jia's return journey is just around the corner, and Prince Zhao will also enter Qin as a host. Wang Wan heard that Ying Zheng stayed alone in the study for a long time, because he guessed that there would be an abnormal behavior next, and simply told Li Si about Ying Zheng's experience in Handan. The grudge between him and Zhao Tong.
Ying Zheng implored Lu Buwei to let him dispose of Zhao Tu on his own, in order to avenge his mother and murder. However, Lu Buwei considered that Qin and Zhao had just formed an alliance and should not regain suspicion, so he decisively refused.
That night, Ying Zheng recalled what Li Si had said in the day, and realized the so-called useless ruling. He declared Li Si into the hall and asked the other party how he thought of the enemy who had insulted him. Li Si responded with the allusions of the king of Yue and pointed out that Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei called Zhao Yu into the Qin goal, which made Ying Zheng secretly surprised, and the depression in his chest suddenly disappeared.
Zhao Yan and Guo Kai visited the court again, hoping that Mao Sui would help him ascend to the throne. Whether he was a high-ranking official or a treasure, he could not enjoy it. However, he did not want to continue to be controlled by this, and flatly refused, claiming that he would not do anything for him in the future. Guo Kai was furious when he heard this, and planted the seeds of revenge in his heart.
Bewildered by Donger's slander, Zhao Ji decided to take the lead for Yingzheng, and rashly angered Zhao Yao, who had been named Chunping Jun, on the court, and punished him to go to Lishan Xiu Mausoleum and become a civil servant. Unbearable, Zhao Yu made a noise in front of the temple. Li Si stood guard at the city gate and witnessed the soldiers escorting Zhao Yu into the ox cart and drove away.
When the meeting was over, Zhao Ji learned of Lu Buwei's plan to deal with Zhao Guo from Ying Zheng, and then realized that he had just acted recklessly, and rebuked Lu Buwei for telling her the plan in advance. Lu Buwei knew that the order had been laid down and could not be taken back, so he could only let Zhao Ji suffer some hardships in Lishan first, and then find time to complete the plan in the future.
Yao Jia and others went to Yideju for a drink. Hearing that Zhao Tong had been punished, he sent the news back to Zhao Guo. When Zhao Jiang Li Mu learned that Zhao Ti, who was the prince, was doing hard labor in Qin, he immediately rushed to the Longtai Palace. Zhao Dan was furious. No matter how hard Li Mu admonished, he still insisted on arranging Lian Po to rectify the army and let him conquer Qin. , Recapture the prince.
At this time, the vicissitudes of the country of Zhao have been completely unrecognizable. 50,000 soldiers and horses live in the city of Handan, and 200,000 troops are stuck on the border. This snowstorm-sweeping battle has not waited for the camp to move forward. Ended in critical condition.
The Manchu civil and military knelt in front of the couch, waiting for Zhao Wangdan's instructions at any time. Lian Po and Li Mu were responsible for rectifying their armaments to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the opportunity to commit a crime. Since Mao Sui was ordered to rush to Qin to welcome Zhao Tong back, to prevent Zhao Tong from returning to the country, Zhao Yan ordered Guo Kai to lead the killer to ambush and kill him.
As soon as the next day passed, Mao rushed to the savannah hills, and suddenly saw dozens of people in black rushing from around, surrounding him and his entourage. After solving the major problems, Guo Kai quickly returned to the city and Zhao Yan returned to life, and truthfully described the results of the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, indicating that Zhao Dan's deadline will be in the near future. Zhao Yan was in a complicated mood when he heard the news. After a moment of silence, he told Guo Kai to deal with the monks around Zhao Dan so as not to show his feet.

Famously known for its warm yellow façade and stunning views of the Atlantic, the Ocean House opened in 1868 just after the Civil War. The hotel gained prominence among the historic New England hotels built during this era. For those who could afford the luxury of travel, the Ocean House in the early 1900s became the quintessential summer home attracting many distinguished guests. The grand Victorian hotel was a genteel beach resort where generations of families and guests from across America came "to summer." The Ocean House welcomed guests for 135 years or more until it closed in the early 2000's.
In 2004 a new structure replicating the original exterior design was conceived. Today, this much-loved beach hotel has been recreated to convey the romance of its storied past and the rich character of Watch Hill, Rhode Island.

The Landmarks Preservation Commission voted to approve a renovation plan for the Rainbow Room on January 8, 2013. The interior landmark, on the 65th floor of Rockefeller Plaza, was designated by Landmarks on October 13, 2012 and approved by the City Council on December 18, 2012.
The Rainbow Room, which was first opened in 1934, was designed by the firm Associated Architects, under the supervision of architect Wallace K. Harrison and interior designer Elena Bachman-Schmidt. The historic nightclub and restaurant features double-height windows, opulent chandeliers and sconces, a circular dance floor, and a domed ceiling. The room underwent an extensive renovation in 1987, overseen by architect Hugh Hardy. The Rainbow Room has been closed since 2009. (read more…)

Landmarks Holds Public Hearing on Rainbow Room [Update: Rainbow Room Designated]
Designation • Midtown, Manhattan

This article was originally published on 8/17/2012 (see below for update).
Rockefeller Center-owner Tishman Speyer endorsed designation, but said it would continue with plans to "revitalize" the currently unused nightclub and restaurant space. On September 11, 2012 Landmarks held a public hearing on the potential designation of the Rainbow Room on the 65th Floor of 30 Rockefeller Plaza as an interior landmark. The Rainbow Room was designed by Associated Architects and opened in 1934. The iconic nightclub and restaurant space features 24 double-height windows, tiered seating around a dance floor, crystal chandeliers and sconces, and can accommodate 300 people. In 1987, architect Hugh Hardy oversaw the room's renovation and restoration. The Rainbow Room has been closed to the public since 2009, when Tishman Speyer Properties evicted Cipriani Restaurants from the space. Landmarks calendared the space on August 14, 2012. (See CityLand's coverage here.)
Rainbow Room Enters Landmark Review Process
Calendaring • Midtown, Manhattan
Currently shuttered nightclub and restaurant venue on top of Rockefeller Plaza calendared for public hearing in September 2012. On August 14, 2012, Landmarks took the first step to consider designating the Rainbow Room on the 65th floor of 30 Rockefeller Plaza as an interior landmark. The Rainbow Room has been closed since 2009, when Tishman Speyer Properties, the owner of the building, evicted Cipriani Restaurants from the space.
The Rainbow Room opened in 1934, one year after the repeal of Prohibition. Described by Landmarks' staff as "streamline modern", the Rainbow Room was designed by Associated Architects, the same firm responsible for Rockefeller Center. Wallace K. Harrison acted as the lead architect and Elena Bachman-Schmidt oversaw the nightclub's interior design. The nightclub could accommodate 300 people for dining and dancing, and was known for its expansive views of (read more…)

Contract Award • Hudson Yards, Manhattan
Proposed redevelopment of Hudson Yards. Image: dbox, courtesy of Related Companies.
$1.054 billion offer adds more affordable housing than Tishman's plan. On March 26, 2008, the MTA selected Tishman Speyer to develop the John D. Caemmerer Rail Yards, also known as the Hudson Yards. 5 CityLand 46 (Apr. 15, 2008). But on May 13, 2008, Tishman withdrew its proposal, prompting the MTA to select a proposal submitted by a joint venture between the Related Companies and Goldman Sachs.
Related/Goldman's proposal is equal in value to Tishman's, but calls for more residential space, at 5.3 million sq.ft., less commercial space, at 5.5 million sq.ft., and more public space, at 15 acres. Moreover, 20 percent of all residential rental units, approximately 440 units, will be permanently affordable. The new proposal also seeks to retain the entire High Line; unlike Tishman's proposal, which called for removing the 10th Avenue spur. (read more…)

MTA selects Tishman's billion dollar bid for Hudson Yards
A rendering of Tishman Speyer's proposal for Hudson Yards. Image: Tishman Speyer Properties.
Proposal would create 13 million sq.ft. of developable space. On March 26, 2008, the MTA Board selected Tishman Speyer's proposal to develop the western and eastern portions of the John D. Caemmerer Rail Yard, also known as Hudson Yards. At $1.004 billion, Tishman outbid four competing real estate developers for the right to transform the 26-acre site despite proposing the smallest number of residential units and the least amount of open space.
Tishman's proposal, designed by architect Helmut Jahn, calls for more than eight million sq.ft. of total office space, 550,000 sq.ft. of retail space, 300,000 sq.ft. of residential space, and 13 acres of public open space. The western half of the site, located between West 30th and 33rd Streets from 11th to 12th Avenues, is currently zoned M2-3 and must be rezoned to accommodate Tishman's proposed mixed-use development. However, the MTA will allow Tishman to terminate the contract if the developer is unable to obtain the necessary zoning changes. The eastern half of the site, located between 10th and 11th Avenues from West 30th to 33rd Streets, was rezoned in January 2005 as part of the Special Hudson Yards District. 2 CityLand 4 (Feb. 15, 2005); 1 CityLand 36 (Dec. 2004).

Stuy Town Tenants' Claims Dismissed
J-51 Tax Benefits • East Village, Manhattan
Tenants at Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village claimed that owners covered by rent regulations. Tenants of Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village sued property owner PCV ST Owner LP and general partner Tishman Speyer Properties, seeking damages for rent overcharges and a declaration that rent regulation should continue as long as the property owner received J-51 tax benefits. The tenants alleged that the owner had deregulated more than 25% of the units under the luxury decontrol law, but continued to receive J-51 benefits. The tenants further claimed that the luxury decontrol laws that allowed owners to deregulate high-income, high-rent apartments could not be applied as long as the building received the J-51 benefits.
Justice Richard B. Lowe III dismissed the tenants' complaint, ruling that receipt of J-51 benefits did not preclude an owner from deregulating units under the luxury decontrol law. The court found that the luxury decontrol law, created in 1993, was not applicable to housing accommodations that became subject to rent regulation only because of their participation in the J-51 program. Because Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village had been subject to rent regulation since 1974 and had only begun participating in the J-51 program in 1992, the exclusion from the luxury decontrol laws did not apply to them. The court noted that J-51 benefits could be reduced in proportion to the number of units in the building that were deregulated through luxury decontrol. (read more…)

Wow – this looks so unusual to me. I've never had much success with Brussels sprouts (they're such a polarising vegetable down here in Aus!), but I'm really looking forward to trying it!
Hi Nahma – yes, it is quite an unusual way to serve them, but so much better than boiled (although others suggest forgot boiling and roast them instead). They are similarly polarising here, but I've served this up to sworn anti-sprouters, and they've enjoyed it. If you try it, let me know what you think!
Yum! I need this in my life right now.
This is my type of salad! Looks so good!!!
Looks delicious! I actually prefer my Brussels sprouts like this over roasted.
Thanks! I should try roasting them. I had a go ages back but got the timings all wrong and they were a bit cremated. You've inspired me!
This looks so amazing and delicious. Thank you!
Thanks! Do give this a try, and of course you can play around with quantities and ingredients to suit your tastes.

Q: Taking multiple values in an argument in Clap I'm using Clap and I'm trying to make it so that a subcommand can take multiple values for the argument. The interface I'm after is:
just use repo [files]

An example:
just use radar/dot-files gitaliases ryan-aliases

The repo argument here will be the string "radar/dot-files" and the files argument will be a vector of ["gitaliases", "ryan-aliases"].
Here's the code that I'm trying to use:
let matches = App::new("just")
    .version("v1.0-beta")
    .subcommand(
        SubCommand::with_name("use")
            .arg(Arg::with_name("repo").required(true))
            .arg(
                Arg::with_name("files")
                    .required(true)
                    .multiple(true)
                    .number_of_values(1),
            ),
    )
    .get_matches();

if let Some(matches) = matches.subcommand_matches("use") {
    println!("{:?}", matches.value_of("files").unwrap())
}

This outputs just the first file that I specify, rather than all the files.
How can I make it output all the different files, for an arbitrary number of arguments?

A: durka42 from irc.mozilla.org#rust told me to use values_of instead of value_of:
let matches = App::new("just")
    .version("v1.0-beta")
    .subcommand(
        SubCommand::with_name("use")
            .arg(Arg::with_name("repo").required(true))
            .arg(Arg::with_name("files").required(true).min_values(1)),
    )
    .get_matches();

if let Some(matches) = matches.subcommand_matches("use") {
    let files: Vec<_> = matches.values_of("files").unwrap().collect();
    println!("{}", files[0]);
    println!("{}", files[1]);
}

I could probably use an iter() call to go through the files if I wanted to.

DALLAS – The Dallas Mavericks and Nick & Sam's Steakhouse hosted 120 children from Buckner after-school programs on Nov. 22, teaching them how to shoot some hoops at the American Airlines Center. It was the 14th annual Mavs Turkey Dunk and the first time the organization partnered with Buckner for the event.
Children lined the perimeter of the basketball court waiting for the Mavericks to appear, chanting "Go Mavs!" until their arrival. Dirk Nowitzki lifted the smaller children into the air to help them dunk the ball, while guard Jason Terry gave away two pairs of autographed shoes to some special kids.
After the one-hour basketball clinic, children were rewarded with a five-star meal of Thanksgiving turkey, beef tenderloin, mac and cheese and lobster ravioli from corporate chef/partner Sami Dhurandhar at Nick & Sam's Steakhouse. Mavs mascot Mavs Man also made an appearance with the kids.
To learn more about the ways you can collaborate with Buckner, please contact Buckner Foundation at 214-758-8000 or email measter@buckner.org.

Western swamp tortoises have been released into the wild today with special data loggers attached that will help guide recovery efforts for the critically endangered species. The 12 Perth Zoo-bred tortoises were released into Ellen Brook Nature Reserve in Perth's north-eastern suburbs. Data loggers attached to the tortoises will record information about how long they spend in water, the depth of the water they forage in, and the summer-time conditions they experience when they aestivate under leaf litter and in holes during summer. After 12 months, the tortoises will be returned to Perth Zoo. The trial will enable researchers to compare tortoises of similar age, genetics and history to tortoises being released at Meerup in the South-West, and will help guide decisions about possible future…

Apple Expunges Antigay App from Store
By Brennon Slattery
PCWorld	 Dec 1, 2010 7:30 am PST
Apple's app removal processes have always been a little blurry, but over the Thanksgiving holiday, the company made one point clear: the App Store is no place for homophobia.
The product in question, the Manhattan Declaration app, was an offshoot of the religious cause's condemnation of gay marriage and, by association, homosexuality in general. In the Manhattan Declaration's screed, the independent group states that marriage is "a conjugal union of man and woman," and that support of gay marriage is synonymous with support of "promiscuity and infidelity."
Change.org created an online petition to remove the Manhattan Declaration app, and explained that the app "espouses hateful and divisive language." The app was originally rated 4+ — meaning it contained "no objectionable material" — but after Change.org collected more than 7,700 signatures, Apple pulled the app.
"We removed the Manhattan Declaration app from the App Store because it violates our developer guidelines by being offensive to large groups of people," Apple said.
The Manhattan Declaration released a statement asking Apple to reconsider its decision. To clarify its position on homosexuality, the group wrote that "disagreement" is not "gay-bashing" and therefore not in violation of Apple's policies.
"Anyone who takes the time to read the Manhattan Declaration can see that the language used to defend traditional marriage, the sanctity of human life, and religious liberty is civil, non-inflammatory, and respectful," the group wrote on its website.
The Manhattan Declaration claims that heterosexual marriage is the only righteous choice and that deviating from the traditional undermines "the dignity of marriage."
The group describes gay marriage as an "erosion" of godliness and says that homosexuality is "immoral conduct." Dodge blame with semantics all you want — the Manhattan Declaration couldn't be more transparent in its denunciation.
So while the Manhattan Declaration will continue its campaign to have its app reinstated in Apple's App Store, it's just not going to happen.

As a Colour Specialist Salon we help a lot of our clients go from brunette to blonde.
Whether you are doing an all over bleach, balayage or foil highlights it is normal to expect a middle stage which will reveal the warm tones in the hair before it can be taken to the lightest white or platinum blonde.
The main focus on making a successful transition is about keeping your hair healthy and being realistic as to the stages you will need to go through to get to a true blonde.
Read on to understand the journey of going blonde!
I WANT TO BE BLONDE, CAN YOU GET ME TO A LIGHT BRIGHT BLONDE IN ONE SESSION?
Unless you are a professional colourist it can be hard to understand why you are unable to achieve the blondes you see on Instagram and Pinterest in one go! The main thing that will affect your ability to achieve a blonde colour is your hair's natural underlying pigment. For those of your with dark hair (brunette) the most common pigment is red. Also any hair that has colour build up (see below) it will prevent your from achieving blonde results in one session. Also everybody's hair lightens at different rates. Some people's hair is resistant to lifting, while others will lighten quickly. If your hair is resistant to lightening you will need to accept that your road to blonde may include a 'warm phase' with colours of red, orange, copper, yellow and then blonde.
As colour specialists we will always give you an honest assessment of your hairs ability to go blonde. Keep in mind though that because everyone is unique, we have no idea how your hair will lift until you have had your first session or if we can take a strand test. We use Olaplex to help keep the hair bonded during each session, plus using common sense, which is only lightening to the level the hair, can tolerate and remain in good condition. The simple fact is if you lighten the hair beyond what it can handle, it simply snaps off or turns to jelly. Unfortunately we are often asked to repair very damaged hair caused by DIY home kits or from other salons less experienced colourists who just don't realise that hair is a fragile thing and with chemical colouring it can get damaged to a point of no return. We will always give you an honest assessment, we are passionate about what we do and we want you to have the best possible colour, not just to take your money and ruin your hair. We refuse lightening services purely because we know you will regret it if your hair cannot cope. If you have a long journey to blonde, we will offer you lots of solutions to make your 'in-between' colours look great and you feeling attractive on your journey to blonde.
WHAT IS COLOUR BUILD UP AND HOW DOES IT EFFECT THE DESIRED HAIR THAT I AM TRYING TO ACHIEVE DURING MY FIRST VISIT?
Colour build up is any type of colour that has been put in your hair at any stage, even if you can no longer 'see' it. Unless the hair is 100% grown out, you will most likely have old colour left which affects the type of result that you would like to achieve. Colour build up can cause banding, patchiness and colour unevenness. We often get asked from clients if they can achieve blonde in their first visit? This depends heavily on two things – your current hair colour and colour build up. Once you have colour build up it can take a long time to remove – especially red or dark tones (browns and blacks). If you hair is very dark it's usual that you will need to persevere through a warmer stage where you will see red, copper, orange, brass tones before you can get to blonde. This could mean multiple lightening sessions – usually it takes between 3 – 4 sessions spaced 8 weeks apart so that the hair doesn't break from chemical stresses put on it from the lightning process. In some cases it can take a year to completely achieve your goal colour, it all depends on how fast your hair lightens up and how easily any colour build up can be removed. We will usually know after the first colour correction session a basic timeline for you.
As you can see the more of a budget and time and clients invests - determines how fast they manage to reach their goal.
They may need 4-6 large appointments for the best results and healthiest hair.
For ("most") clients, I recommend - 2 larger appointments a year to get the overall result they want.
As well as 4-6 maintenance appointments throughout the year to make the results last.
Get ready to go blonde at our Perth Hair Salons, in Subiaco and Claremont. Book in online here.
Feel free to pop in for a complimentary hair consultation as we love sharing our knowledge on how to get your hair looking it's best!

From time to time we will use this resource as a venue to hear from you, our friends, and clients. This is our first discussion on driverless (or autonomous) cars. Over time we will discuss how it will impact society, its cost savings, the technology, and how it will impact your portfolios being managed at Princeton Global Asset Management. There is no doubt that the technology of driverless cars will be extremely disruptive. According to an article in the Wall Street Journal on August 15, "Driverless cars have the potential to reshape a wide range of occupations held by roughly one in nine American workers, according to a newly released U.S. government report." This disruption will take time to develop. Ultimately there will be corporate winners and losers. Our first commentary on this subject will focus on sectors of the economy where the development of driverless cars will likely have a negative impact. Within these sectors, there will be companies that can successfully adapt to the disruption and thrive and our goal is to identify those companies as well as others who will be beneficiaries of the driverless car technology whose shares would be attractive additions to our clients' portfolios.
The journalist David Leonhardt recently wrote a column in the Wall Street Journal that highlighted a conundrum given to the students of the former Dean of Yale law school, Guido Calabresi. The students were asked to consider a new invention that would make life more pleasant for almost everybody. The invention, however, would have a cost – a very high cost. The cost would be 3,000 people would lose their lives every day. The students are then asked if they would accept the deal. Almost all say no. We have queried many our clients and friends and almost all of them say no.
We already have this product.
And most of us approve.
And most of us use it. It improves the lives of virtually everybody we know, and is directly responsible for the death of 3,000 people per day. The product is the automobile and worldwide over 1.2 million people die in road crashes each year. Another 35 million people are injured or disabled.
And the toll on the young is particularly upsetting. More than half of all road traffic deaths occur among young adults ages 15-44. Road crashes are the leading cause of death among young people ages 15-29, and the second leading cause of death worldwide among young people ages 5-14. Over 90% of all road fatalities occur in low and middle-income countries, which have less than half of the world's vehicles.
And the cost is even greater than that. Road crashes cost $518 billion globally, costing individual countries from 1-2% of their annual GDP.
We put up with these costs because we imagine them as problems with no cure. However, we may very well be wrong. The digital revolution is changing the equation, and the change may very well be closer than we think!
One solution is the driverless car. Both Lyft and Audi have recently announced that the driverless car is a reality.
Lyft announced on July 21 it will introduce driverless cars in Boston before the end of the year, and expand the program to other cities in the near future. Driverless cars will be chosen for particular customers by Lyft depending on traffic, weather, route and time of day. These cars will be manufactured by a variety of partners and plugged into Lyft's "Open Platform" network.
On June 4, Audi stated that its new A8 will be fully self-driving for up to speeds of 60km/hr using its "Audi AI". Contrary to other cars, the driver will not have to do safety checks such as touching the steering wheel every 15 seconds. The Audi A8 will be the first production car to reach level 3 autonomous driving and Audi will be the first manufacturer to use laser scanners in addition to cameras and ultrasonic sensors for their AI (Artificial Intelligence). "Level 3" has been billed as "no feet, hands, or eyes," but drivers must be ready to take back control immediately. "Level 4," also known as "mind off" requires no driver attention is ever required for safety. We at PGAM have dubbed this "sleep permitted driving". If the vehicle gets to a non-supported area it will abort the trip and park itself. Of course, there is a level 5, also known as "wheel optional" where no human intervention is required.
Almost everybody thinks they are an excellent driver. However, many of us are reckless teenagers, faltering elderly, inclined to distraction, prone to fatigue, and uncontrolled in their rage. Below is a list of the top causes of car accident fatalities.
Distracted Driving – The number one cause of accidents. This includes texting while driving as well as other behavior destined to kill, such as phone calls, eating, grooming, disciplining children, talking, and playing with your radio.
The common theme of these accidents is they all involve human error. According to an article from the Transportation Research Institute over 92% of car accident fatalities are from human error. Consulting firm McKinsey & Company estimated that widespread use of autonomous vehicles could "eliminate 90% of all auto accidents in the United States, prevent up to US$190 billion in damages and health-costs annually and save thousands of lives. The Eno Center for Transportation estimates that in the US the number of accidents would drop from 6million to 1.3 million per year if 905 of cars were self-driving.
Insurance: With human error taken out of the picture the number of auto accidents would nose dive. There would likely be more car sharing and the number of auto insurance policies would decline. And then the companies would need to recreate their business models and figure out who to insure. Not good news for the current big dogs like Allstate, Progressive and Geico if they do not adapt.
Auto Manufacturers: Think about your car. It probably sits in your garage or commuting park spot most of the time. (Cars are unused almost 95% of the time). With driverless cars entering the equation, the logistics will change. The driverless car that takes you to work can go home and service other people in your family and then come back to pick you up after the workday. The need for multiple cars in your family declines. Fewer cars due to car sharing translates to fewer vehicle sales, and less revenue for the car manufacturers.
Auto Parts Manufacturers: A large part of the demand for the products in this industry is from supplying replacement parts after auto accidents. With more car sharing, the total number of vehicles on the road will decline, reducing the demand for normal maintenance parts as well. Moving to autonomous cars and electric vehicles also reduces the number of moving parts in a car like fuel injectors or turbochargers. Continental and Magna are leaders in this industry.
Hospitals: Motor vehicle injuries account for 12% of emergency departed related visits, 15% of hospital admissions, and a substantial 26% of hospital revenue. Hospital emergency departments are often seen as money losers, but studies have shown ED's are profitable as getting more profitable as more patients gain health care coverage through the Affordable Care Act. Add on the revenue from emergency department patients admitted to the hospital and fewer motor vehicle accidents would be a material revenue void.
Oil Companies: Half of every barrel of crude oil is used to make gasoline. Fewer cars on the road could translate to lower demand for gasoline. However, some believe the average miles driven for each car will rise. So why does the demand for oil drop. The answer is driverless cars will run on cruise control all the time which experts believe will deliver a 20-30% improvement in fuel economy. Furthermore, the anticipated lower weight and aerodynamic styling combined with active traffic management could lead to a 50% improvement in fuel economy from driverless cars. As technology evolves and innovators continue to advance the capabilities of all-electric vehicles, the threat to the revenue stream of the oil industry will grow. U.S. oil refining companies appears most vulnerable to lower gasoline demand including Valero, Marathon Petroleum & Phillips 66.
Parking Garages: The cost of a parking space in an expensive city like New York can be prohibitive. According to Miller Samuel Real Estate Appraisers the average parking space in New York City costs $165,019 or $1,100 per square foot. This is close to the average apartment price of $1,107 per square foot. The average cost of NYC monthly parking is around $430. Daily rates can easily top $50 for a prime location. As you travel further away from the prime location the opportunity for cheaper parking rises. The opportunity to get out of your car at your destination and have it travel a few miles away without a passenger to find a cheap parking space will be irresistible to some. The prime space parking garage will have to compete with much cheaper competition. This is not a good formula for a healthy revenue stream.
Downtown Real Estate: In some cites downtown parking garages occupy up to 30% of the real estate. If many of these parking garages are closed in favor of offsite locations there will be a new supply of real estate available for other uses. This will probably put some downward pressure on real estate prices.
In our next discussion, we will focus upon those sectors which we believe will benefit from the development of the driverless car technology. Stay tuned!!

McDonald's has recently introduced its lucrative $1, $2 and $3 menu across the country, and to celebrate its launch, the fast food giant has teamed up with none other than high-end fashion designer Anna Sui. Together the two have come up with exclusive Year of the Dog envelopes that feature original designs by Sui along with a bit of added quirk.
The collaboration also celebrates the Lunar New Year, where in red envelopes are traditionally handed out with money. Drawing inspiration from this tradition, Sui has created red covers that encompass value-themed well wishes and her original artwork of popular Asian dog breeds, including a Pug and Shiba Inu. Fans of both Sui and McDonald's will get a chance to own their exclusive envelopes on Tuesday, Jan. 23rd, at Japantown Peace Plaza in San Francisco, where the fast food marquee will unveil a $1 $2 $3 Dollar Menu-inspired arcade game that incorporates Sui's designs.
Those outside San Francisco can get theirs through fun social media sweepstakes that will be run by McD enthusiasts, Leenda D and Miss Gina Darling. McDonald's coveted $1 $2 $3 Dollar Menu is a steal for the breakfast, burger and chicken options that it is offering at dirt cheap rates. But for now, Sui's red envelopes is all we can think about!

I find it intriguing to look back on defining moments in life. One such moment for me arose when I was 8 years old. My nan lay dying in hospital and it was a strangely mystical experience because, as a spiritualist medium, she appeared to know the exact date and time that she was going to die.
The thing that captured my imagination at the time, however, was her moving admission that she had always dreamed of going horse riding but never actually got round to it. And now she would never fulfil that dream. It freaked me out, the possibility of reaching the end of my life with that feeling.
So I embarked on an approach to life characterised by doing whatever I felt an interest or passion for. I was determined not to miss a moment, an experience, that could leave me feeling regret - that sense of opportunity lost. If nothing specific came to mind, I would try something new anyway...just in case.
As I look back, I can see how that experience of my nan's experience has stimulated, spurred and driven me to push my own boundaries so many times. On reflection, it feels like a mixed blessing, making it difficult to ever feel settled, content, satisfied. There's always the possibility of that something else.
And so it feels like a paradox. I thank God for the rich experiences he has granted me, for that desire to experiment and explore, yet I also need to learn to be less driven by my own need for adventure, to look outward to others' needs more, to know peace and calm and to appreciate more that which is.

Patton (1970)
Directed by: Franklin J. Schaffner
Starring: George C. Scott, Karl Malden, Michael Strong, Stephen Young
Genres: Biography, Drama, War
Significant dates Titles starting with P
Question: During the slapping, what did George mean when he said send him up to the front?
Answer: "The front" means the front line, i.e., where the enemy is being engaged. He's saying that since the soldier isn't physically injured, he should be fighting, not (as Patton sees it) being a coward and shirking his duty.
Answer: He meant that he intended to send the soldier back to his unit where the main fighting with the enemy is taking place. This is referred to as "the front."

Question: Is it just me or does this film seem to have some definite homosexual undertones when it comes to Patton? He dresses flamboyantly, wears lots of jewelry, designs uniforms, caresses his dead staff member, kisses a soldier tenderly after a battle. Did the writers do this intentionally and/or were there rumors about Patton's sexual orientation?
Answer: It's just you.
Answer: In real life Patton spoke with a high pitched effeminate voice, not the gruff George C Scott type of voice.
stiiggy
Question: How accurate is Patton's temper?
Answer: Very accurate, almost spot on, as veterans who served under him during WW2 would attest after seeing the film "Patton." The real life difference between actor George C. Scott and the real General Patton was his voice- unlike the gravel voice that Scott possessed, Patton had a high voice that would get higher the angrier he got.
Scott215
Question: When Patton visits the battlefield he says he was there when the battle happened. What did he mean? He wasn't born yet.
Answer: George S. Patton was not speaking figuratively. In real life, Patton very much believed in reincarnation, and he believed he had been reincarnated as a warrior many times, going back thousands of years. His poetry described his real-life belief in reincarnation.
Answer: In real life, George Patton wrote a poem called "Through a Glass, Darkly." This scene is a way to tie that poem into the film. Depending on how you interpret the poem (I suggest reading it and drawing your own conclusion) he's talking about his past lives, where he has been reincarnated as a soldier, or warrior, etc each time. In the poem he suggest he remembers each life and the battles he's fought. So in the scene he's saying he fought in the Punic Wars. If you think he's speaking figuratively, then through his studies of past wars, he's able to vividly image himself there and it feels as if he was there.

Question: Why did they have to have Patton slow down?
Answer: The Allied High Command had to slow Patton down for two reasons: first, he was advancing so quickly across France he was outrunning his fuel and supply lines, leaving the resupply units vulnerable to attack and risking Patton's army being cut off from its supplies and strangled by the Germans. Second, British General Montgomery griped to Churchill and Eisenhower that Patton was getting priority, and Montgomery said he needed fuel so he could launch his own attacks via Operation Market Garden, the seizure of bridges in Holland across the Rhine river.
Question: I know Patton really did slap a soldier named Bennett. I have two questions. Firstly, is the dialogue in the scene where Patton slapped Bennett accurate? Secondly, was Bennett really a coward?
Answer: The entire slapping incident is surprisingly accurate, including the second slap knocking off Bennett's helmet. The dialogue is not verbatim but the scene is accurate in spirit. By today's standards Bennett would not be considered a coward. He suffered from what we call today post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). During Patton's time PTSD was called "shell shock" or other terms and was not treated with the same compassion as today. Patton himself did not believe in the concept of shell shock and thought men like Bennett were simply cowards.

Question: When Patton arrives at corps headquarters, a lieutenant says they have a new commander due. What is he talking about? Was their previous commanding general fired?
Answer: Due to his poor performance at Kasserine, General Eisenhower sacked Major General Lloyd Fredendal (Patton's predecessor), and he was sent back home in disgrace, never to command combat troops ever again.
Answer: Patton was put in charge of the American II Corps in North Africa after the Americans were badly defeated at the 1943 Battle of the Kasserine Pass. The lieutenant apparently does not realise that Patton has been sent to replace the previous commander and will begin enforcing strict discipline into the troops.
OK, but what about the other part of the question? Was their previous commanding general fired?
The previous commanding general was not "fired" he was replaced. It was Major General Lloyd Fredendall who was in command of the II Corps, at the Battle of Kasserine Pass. He was reassigned stateside, then about three months later was promoted to lieutenant general. For the rest of the war he was in command of training assignments in the US.
Super Grover
He was effectively "fired", as in removed, from his commanding position, due to his weak leadership, but that did not mean to say he was fired from the U.S. Army. The term "fired" is relative here.
I feel the need to clarify the point that my original reply was to the person who asked this question: "OK, but what about the other part of the question? Was their previous commanding general fired? " Please know that my reply was not meant to come off as butting heads with your answer, raywest, I was merely answering the submitter's question and acknowledging their use of the word "fired" within their question. But since you responded directly to my original reply, I'll respond. You state in your reply to me, "He was effectively "fired", as in removed, from his commanding position, due to his weak leadership, but that did not mean to say he was fired from the U.S. Army. The term "fired" is relative here." Okay, well I really don't agree with that, because I can't see the term "fired" as being relative here, IMO. In civilian life, when a civvie is "fired" from their job it means getting laid-off, being unemployed. To say a servicemember is "fired" from the military, it would basically mean being dishonorably discharged. The OP's question was regarding Lloyd Fredendall. After his reassignment, Major General Fredendall even received a promotion and became Lieutenant General Fredendall within a few months. Anyway, those are my personal thoughts on the matter. :) Be well, raywest. With warm regards, Rikki.
Not fired, just relieved of command and transferred elsewhere.
Yes, he was removed (fired) from his post because his troops were so badly defeated in the battle. Patton was assigned to take over.

Question: Did George Patton really change the time which the mess hall was open and closed like he does in the movie?
Answer: Yes, Patton did change the mess hall times. Chester B. Hansen, who was General Omar Bradley's aide, kept a detailed personal wartime diary. In it he wrote about Patton, and regarding the mess hall Hansen described it this way, "When Fredendall was the corps commander, the II Corps people generally went to breakfast at about 9 o'clock in the morning. When Patton came, however, he changed all that, and in Fairlana they stopped serving breakfast at 6 o'clock in the morning. Therefore it was necessary for us to stumble out of bed at about 5, hurry down and grab a breakfast. It was quite cold at that time in the morning..." After the war, because of his detailed diary Hansen was the ghostwriter of Bradley's war memoir, A Soldier's Story, which was one of the resources for the movie's screenwriters.
Did Patton change the mess hall times in order to discipline his troops?
In short, yes, it was part of Patton's stern discipline and strictly enforced regulations, which he believed essential. Following the disastrous defeat at Kasserine Pass, when Eisenhower had Patton promoted and appointed the new commander of II Corps, it was because Patton was the perfect choice. Just as Scott215 mentioned Patton's helmet requirement and the wearing of shirt and tie, this was all part of one of Patton's top priorities - the dress code and the strict adherence to it, and the strengthening of morale and fighting spirit. Eisenhower himself had later written, "morale in II Corps was shaken and the troops had to be picked up quickly. For such a job Patton has no superior in the Army... General Patton's buoyant leadership and strict insistence upon discipline rapidly rejuvenated the II Corps and brought it up to fighting pitch...the troops...had a much higher appreciation of the value of training, discipline, and speed in action."
Answer: As the commanding Corps General, Patton did, indeed, have the authority to change not only the opening and closing times of the mess hall, but many other areas under his command, like the helmet requirement. He even required his officers to wear shirt and tie while in combat zones, so he did call the shots. His command, his rules.
Question: Did the part where allied command cuts off Patton's supplies really happen?
Answer: Yes, it did. In short, Allied command favored a more spread out approach to the offensive rather than the "single thrust" approach Patton favored. It was deemed that Montgomery's Twenty First Army Group had a higher priority to Patton's Third Army.
Plus, Patton was advancing so fast he was outrunning his fuel, and supply lines.
Question: Did Patton really promise to control his temper before being assigned to the third army?
Answer: He most likely would have had to agree to monitor his temper and behavior and also his habit of making off-the-cuff, politically incorrect or politically charged remarks. He at times spoke or acted impulsively.

Factual error: When Patton orders his driver to drive to the Carthaginian battlefield he addresses him as "sergeant". He is, however, wearing corporal's chevrons. A famous stickler for discipline and ceremonial, Patton is not likely to have made a mistake like this.

General Omar N. Bradley: There's one big difference between you and me, George. I do this job because I've been trained to do it. You do it because you love it.
This film's most remarkable for the ironic choice of vehicles used. All of the German tanks represented in the movie are, in fact, M48 "Patton" tanks borrowed from the Spanish army. This is most likely the first and only time in history a general is unintentionally fighting to destroy his own namesakes!
