At least for some Americans, it could be harder to vote in next year's presidential election than in any for several decades. And yet, there are genuine reasons for new-found optimism about the state of U.S. voting rights.
If that sounds hard to square, consider that perhaps for the first time this century, there's now unquestionably more energy behind efforts to make voting easier than to make it harder. Continuing a trend that began after the 2012 election, numerous mostly blue states — with an important nudge from Hillary Clinton — have introduced, and sometimes passed, a slew of expansive bills, including one idea that could transform access to the ballot. Meanwhile, the march of major new GOP-backed restrictions that characterized the period from 2011 to 2014 essentially came to a halt.
But voting rights advocates are a long way from celebrating. Nothing happened to undo existing restrictions, and the worst of them remain in place. And as 2016 approaches, the Roberts Court, with its conservative majority, looks likely to play the lead role in shaping the voting landscape going forward.
Wendy Weiser, the director of the Democracy Program at the Brennan Center for Justice, summed up the best-of-times, worst-of-times atmosphere.
Rachel Maddow reports on the swift and brutal reaction by the American public to the news that Alabama would be closing some DMVs in predominantly black counties after passing a voter ID law, and effort by Governor Robert Bentley to undo that decision.
First, the bad news: The 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) — and "Selma," a high-profile movie about the legendary activists who pushed for it — put a national spotlight on the importance of the landmark civil rights law. But though some Congressional Republicans were eager to be photographed marking the occasion in Selma, Alabama, they were far less interested in taking action to restore the VRA to full strength, after it was gutted by the Supreme Court in Shelby County v. Holder in 2013. Neither of two bills introduced this year to bolster the law — one a holdover from last year — received so much as a hearing.
"To this point, we have not seen a process forward that is necessary," Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the chair of the House Judiciary Committee, said in January.
That means southern states and local governments will continue to have free rein to make changes to their voting rules without federal oversight. Only via lawsuits filed after the fact — a tactic that's often too costly and time-consuming to be effective — can changes deemed racially discriminatory be stopped.
Meanwhile, Republican officials in several states maneuvered to impose strict rules that are likely to throw up more hurdles for would-be voters. In Kansas, Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R) announced plans to toss out 36,000 pending voter registration applications. Most run afoul of a 2013 law backed by Kobach that requires people to show proof-of-citizenship documents when registering to vote. In Ohio, Secretary of State Jon Husted (R), removed hundreds of thousands of voters from the rolls — a majority of whom were singled out because they hadn't voted in recent elections. And in Alabama, Republican state officials drew nationwide attention for a plan to close several DMV offices in predominantly black counties — a move that, critics said, could make it much harder for blacks to get the ID needed to vote under the state's photo ID requirement. The Kansas and Alabama schemes have drawn lawsuits, and voting rights groups this week threatened a lawsuit in Ohio, too.
But Kobach, Husted and company were sailing against the wind. Prompted by record low turnout in the 2014 midterms, states proposed a flurry of bills aimed at making voting easier and more accessible. According to a tally by the Brennan Center, at least 464 expansive state-level voting bills were introduced or carried over between the start of the year and mid-May, compared to 113 restrictive bills. No tally exists for the rest of the year, but there's no reason to think the ratio changed much.
Many of the expansive bills focused on simplifying the registration process. Oregon and California each passed automatic voter registration laws, which will allow for anyone who comes into contact with the DMV to be registered. Sixteen other states, and the District of Columbia, as well as both houses of the U.S. Congress, introduced similar bills. (New Jersey's passed, but was vetoed by Gov. Chris Christie, who's running for the GOP presidential nomination.) Many acted after Hillary Clinton endorsed the idea as part of a far-reaching and expansive voting rights vision during a speech in Houston in May.
Other efforts to expand access moved forward, too. Virginia and Kentucky both took steps to make it easier for ex-felons to regain their voting rights, though Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin, a Republican, reversed course after taking office this month. (In Maryland, Republican Gov. Larry Hogan vetoed a bill that would have restored the right to vote for some citizens with felony convictions after they leave prison – meaning around 40,000 people in the state will continue to be disenfranchised long after they've left rejoined their communities*.) Pennsylvania and Florida were among the states to implement online voter registration, which emerged as a rare reform with at least some Republican backing. Other states expanded early voting. Both ideas were key recommendations released in 2014 by a bipartisan presidential commission on voting.
As important as what happened was what didn't. When the year began, several Republican-controlled states, including Nevada, New Mexico, Nebraska, Missouri, and Iowa looked like they could be next to impose voter ID. Ultimately, all those efforts failed amid staunch opposition from Democrats. No new ID laws were enacted, though North Dakota tightened its existing law. Bolstering the notion that pushing for voter ID is no longer a surefire political winner for Republicans, the idea has largely been absent from the GOP presidential race. And the two presidential candidates who signed ID laws as governor, Rick Perry of Texas and Scott Walker of Wisconsin, were the first to drop out of the race.
One reason for the holding pattern in the states was uncertainty about the status of the law. The Supreme Court declined to intervene in a challenge to Wisconsin's strict ID measure — meaning the law remains in effect — and lawsuits against Texas' ID measure and North Carolina's omnibus voter suppression law are still working their way through the lower courts. But there's a good chance that the high court will use either of those two cases, or perhaps a different one, to issue a broad ruling that provides some clarity on when voting restrictions like voter ID violate the bans on racial discrimination in the Voting Rights Act and the Constitution. If that happens under the court's current makeup — that is, the same court responsible for Shelby — the result could well be a green light for efforts to restrict voting further.
In fact, the justices could be poised to attack voting rights from a whole new angle. As the year wound down, the court heard a conservative-driven case, Evenwel v. Abbott, in which the plaintiffs argue that people who can't vote have no right to representation at all. They want states to be required to draw district lines by counting only eligible voters, not all people, as they've long done. That would boost the power of predominantly white rural areas with a high share of eligible voters at the expense of minority-heavy urban areas with lots of non-citizens and children.
In other words, a new frontier beckons for expanding access to the ballot — even as threats to voting, old and new, still lurk.

BMW M8 Confirmed With More than 600 HP; Enters Final Testing Phase
The BMW 8 Series coupe will soon be on dealership floors, the convertible was recently revealed and the Gran Coupe is not far off from launch either. But, the 8 Series we are all looking forward to is the M8. The M5's bigger brother and successor to the M6, BMW has confirmed is in final stages of testing with engineers conducting the final evaluations at top racetracks.
The M8 will utilize the high revving 4.4-liter turbo V8 of the M5 along with its eight-speed automatic, and rear-biased all-wheel-drive system with driver selectable rear-wheel drive. While, the M8 might use the M5's powertrain, it will be much more powerful than its younger sibling. Just how powerful remains to be seen.
Recent rumors suggest that the M8 could be capable of doing 0-62 mph time in under 3.4 seconds, and the top speed should be in excess of 186 mph. The M5 Competition produces 617 hp (460 kW / 625 PS) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque and can accelerate from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 3.3 seconds. We expect the standard M8 to be similar to the M5 Competition in terms of performance but BMW could turn things up further on the M8 Competition.
The BMW M8 will also benefit from enhanced body rigidity, weight reduction, better weight distribution with a lower center of gravity compared to the M850i.
The M8 coupe will launch in 2019 likely at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. An M8 Convertible and M8 Gran Coupe will follow soon after. Expect a starting price around the $150,000 mark. The M8 will compete with the Mercedes-Benz AMG S63 Coupe.

adiabatically to a desired level before descending back to the original level from which the
parcel started.

Title: The impact of interest rate spreads on the profitability of commercial banks in Ghana; a case study of standard Chartered bank Ghana Limited.
Abstract: Financial intermediation is the main business of financial institutions; transferring of funds from those with excess liquidity but do not have a use for it now to those with shortage of funds but have the need for it. The existence of market imperfections resulting from information asymmetry and transaction cost, allows for some level of interest rate spread resulting from the wedge that exist between what borrowers pay and what lenders receive. The study sought to assess the impact of interest rate spreads on the profitability of Standard Charted Bank (SCB) in Ghana using annual data from 1990 to 2015.The study found evidence that interest rate spreads drives profitability for the bank. This indicates that the high trends in the interest rates spreads among banks is an avenue for the banks to make profit. The study also showed that liquidity risk, operating efficiency and Regulated Deposit Savings Rate have positive impact on profit.

Banned 19th century play gets a modern makeover
Pictured are Drew Buchanan as Melchior and Sophie Wickes in the role of Moritz for Awakening.
Awakening, the Australian adaptation of a highly controversial coming of age play written 130 years ago, is opening its Queensland tour at Hota this week.
Playwright Daniel Lammin has given German playwright Frank Wedekind's 1891 work, Spring Awakening, a makeover for contemporary audiences.
Awakening follows the fortunes of a group of physically blossoming and emotionally vulnerable students dealing with the challenges of adulthood.
The play, which was banned when it was first performed, deals with explicit issues such as sexual violence, depression, anxiety and suicide.
This new 21st century interpretation has been directed by Kurtis Laing for Good Time Theatrics who, along with actor Sophie Wickes, talked to arts and entertainment writer and podcaster Douglas Kennedy this week.
The show opens at Hota's Theatre 2 on Friday and Saturday (July 30 and 31 at 7pm). Other Queensland dates include Studio 188 in Ipswich (August 13) and the Ron Hurley Theatre, Seven Hills (August 14).

Q: A bi-directional hashing algorithm? Is there an algorithm that will yield the same hash for two numbers, no matter what order they are in?
For example, hashing 3268 and 2642 should yield the same result as hashing 2642 and 3268.
Is this possible?

A: Of course, XOR does that.
 3268^2642 == 2642^3268

There's a lot more (addition, multiplication, basically any commutative operation), but XOR is usually used for hashing anyway (because it's easy to "unhash").

A: Hash the two numbers separately (using an integer-to-integer hash of your choice), and then either add or xor the results.

A: You could add or XOR the two numbers before hashing them.

Things We Said Today
jimsweetmandotcom
If you're a disillusioned Labour voter read this – please!
Okay, I admit that Labour is going to have a bad day on Thursday. My suspicion is that the Conservatives may have an even worse one but that's not important. As I understand it, Labour is being criticised for not having a clear policy on Brexit, for not supporting Remain, and for having Jeremy Corbyn as leader.
Jeremy Corbyn has been additionally attacked as being the wrong choice of leader although he was democratically elected. He is considered to be too left-wing, pro-Palestine, an international ally of radical left-wing movements and anti-Semitic. At one time, it was thought that he would use his influence as leader to drag the party further to the left and allow left-wing elements to oust sitting MPs so as he could consolidate a kind of Stalinist grip on the party. Momentum was imagined to be the parallel of Napoleon's dogs in George Orwell's Animal Farm, hounding and destroying those who opposed him.
So, let's start with Brexit. Labour does have a clear policy on this which started from a decision to honour the referendum result, shared across Parliament before it took place, so that the issue, it was thought, could be put to bed for ever. Labour cannot be blamed for the existence of the referendum which was David Cameron's fault entirely. As we know, the referendum was lost and despite the fact that the campaign was corruptly funded and many lies were told Labour agreed to respect that result as it had committed itself to do.
It is sometimes argued that if Jeremy Corbyn had campaigned more vigorously the referendum would not have been lost but it was difficult for anyone in the Labour Party to share platforms with the Conservatives who instigated the thing, who thought they would win easily and would come out of it with David Cameron smelling of roses. Labour did not make it a political party issue but Labour MPs did go out and support Remain in large numbers. In hindsight, some people think that was a mistake but it wouldn't have been an easy option at the time with the Conservatives desperate to find splits in Labour support which their media friends could amplify so as to cover up some of the gaps in the Conservative Party.
David Cameron went and Theresa May's government came into power and set in motion the departure of the UK from Europe – again supported by virtually all of Parliament shortly after the result. It should then have been a foregone conclusion for the government to do the deal, or whatever version of the deal it wanted, which would have flown through Parliament, whether or not it was necessary for it to do so then which is questionable, and we would have left Europe some time ago.
Then, Theresa May made a decision to call a snap General Election, a decision which turned out to be almost as stupid as David Cameron's. Labour fought a strong campaign on achieving social democracy, a better departure from Europe than the Conservatives were promising and with a radical manifesto.
Labour did much better than the media ever expected, perhaps because the media viewpoints, and particularly those of the BBC and the Guardian which might have been supportive, were informed by a constant campaign to destroy Jeremy Corbyn encouraged by disaffected Labour MPs. These people tried to suggest that there were deep splits over nuclear deterrence, to imply that Labour's foreign policy would be pro-Soviet and that Momentum and Seamus Milne would run the country. In practice, no MPs were deselected but the constant tabloid headlines and the stream of criticism had the effect of reducing the Labour vote. Without that, it is more than probable that Labour would have won the election with a workable majority.
Labour then developed a policy on the Brexit negotiations which was, essentially, to achieve a result which still respected the referendum while maintaining a customs union and free-market, workers' rights and conditions and UK control over its industrial investment policy. If this could not be achieved, Labour would want a General Election and, failing that, some kind of second referendum. This was considered to be a surprisingly clear policy at the time and many people were surprised – imagining that the arch anti-European Jeremy Corbyn would not want such a deal. The assumption was that he must have been defeated following some internal strife but the reality is that this was a policy worked through from the bottom ranks of the party and well supported at the time.
While negotiations were going on, there were still attempts to discredit Jeremy Corbyn over links with Palestinian organisations and for failing to root out anti-Semitism in the Labour Party. There is no evidence to suggest that the Labour Party is more or less anti-Semitic than society at large but it is more anti-Israeli and the attempts to conflate criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism have continued for some years. There has been evidence to show that there's been an organised campaign to discredit the Labour Party on this basis probably in the interests of the Israeli state and funded by it as well. It has been a success as well and a difficult and problematic diversion for the Labour Party. When a handful of its MPs left to form Change UK it was one of the reasons they put forward. This is all worth mentioning because it shows how readily the media could have jumped on anything Labour said which appeared to be any sort of reversal, betrayal or indecision.
It is also worth noting that the Conservative party with the help of the Ulster Unionists still had a majority. It is only because the European Reform Group faction rebelled on certain issues that Labour has had any influence whatsoever on events.
However, there are plenty of people around who think that Labour could, somehow, have changed its policy and become a Remain party and this is, somehow, Jeremy Corbyn's fault that it hasn't because that is what everybody else obviously wants. In practice, the only way to do that would have been to call a special conference which would have revealed substantial splits in Labour, maybe quite reasonably because of the view that there was a strong Brexit vote in some Labour heartlands which ought to be respected. You can also imagine the media firestorm and political rant which would have accompanied such a conference and because Labour is a democratic party, you can appreciate it would have ended with a compromise quite similar to that already achieved.
To come up to date, it is nice to recognise that Labour has achieved a significant series of defeats for the government on Brexit issues but also necessary to understand that Parliament has only agreed on the issue of No Deal. It is clearly understood even by its supporters that there is no majority for a referendum to be rerun, even with a Labour whip.
However, Labour has used its influence and the 'discussions' to gain significant concessions on workers' rights, a wider acceptance of the notion of a continuing customs union and, more recently, the idea of a confirmatory referendum. This would not be a rerun of the original referendum but would instead offer the choice of a negotiated deal and remaining in the EU.
Finally, we need to underline that the decision to hold European elections is nothing to do with the Labour Party but it is an outcome of Parliamentary indecision and the incompetence of the government. Labour is following its established policies in the manifesto even if it is seen as sitting on the fence when, allegedly, it could change its mind and support staying in Europe. Instead, it has maintained its position which seems a fair choice given the history and even if you don't agree with it personally.
Where does it all go next? Possibly, the best option would be another defeat for Theresa May and a confirmatory referendum with the options as above. Worse ones include Boris Johnson as Prime Minister reigning with the help of a triumphant European Reform Group or a general election where the continuous carping against Labour creates a situation where right-wing fascists hold the balance of power.
That's why, whatever you think about Europe and whatever you think about Jeremy Corbyn, you ought to go out and vote Labour on Thursday and encourage your friends and relatives to do the same. If you were planning not to, at least think again for five minutes about what the consequences might be and if you still won't all I can say is that I tried and you might regret it later.

A British writer of more contemporary novels, the author David Hewson has been writing for quite some time now, with his unique brand of mystery stories, filled with both suspense and intrigue, that manage to take the genre forward in an idiosyncratic and stylish manner. Offering something that breaks from the traditional cliches of the genre, he works at making it his own, something which his many readers have warmed to over the years. Not only that, but he's clearly a writer who's at the top of his game as well, with his books all moving at a clear and confident pace.
Early and Personal Life
Born on 1953 on the 9th of January, the writer David Hewson was born and raised in Britain, where he was to spend the majority of his formative years. With an early passion for both reading and writing, he was to nurture his love for the written word from a young age. Gaining inspiration insight from the world around him, he would hone and refine his craft over the following years, to become the author that he currently is today.
Leaving school at just seventeen he went straight into working for the local newspaper, the Scarborough Evening News, as the cub reporter there. Getting a professional insight into the reporting style, he gained a lot of experience whilst on the job that would serve him well. With a keen ear for engaging stories and people, he quickly learned how to keep his many readers hooked.
Later moving on to work for The Times, the Independent, as well as the Sunday Times, he fast learned what it was people wanted to read. Getting to the heart of the story he was always able to find what worked and what didn't in a narrative, getting to the center of it almost immediately. This would also help to serve him in his writing of mysteries, as he would work all the details together, giving the reader just enough to keep going.
Now living in Canterbury in Kent, in the United Kingdom, he still continues to write to this very day. Whether it's a mystery novel or his latest venture into audiobooks, he's always keeping himself busy and on the go. With more novels to come from him in the future, this looks set to be something that won't be finishing anytime soon, as his writing career grows from strength-to-strength.
Writing Career
Publishing his first full novel in 1986, he later brought out the book Semana Santa, renamed Death in Seville upon its reissue, to much acclaim in 1995, with it even being turned into a film. Reaching the silver screen, the movie would feature Mira Sorvino in the 2002 feature-length title, directed by Pepe Danquart. This would work to cement his name as one of the most prestigious in his field, taking his name far and wide.
Garnering the acclaim of the critical establishment as well, he would not only gain the attention of the critics, but the general public as well. Getting numerous nominations for his work, he would gather a global audience, with his books reaching internationally as well as nationally. With many of his books taking place across Europe, mainly Italy and Amsterdam, this then seemed perfectly apt.
Primarily known for his character of Nic Costa, a cop always looking to do whatever it takes to crack the case, he has built a rather impressive legacy. Still writing to this very day, there seems to be lot more yet to come from this author, including that of his many franchises and characters. With more novels set to be released on the near horizon, it seems that this will continue on into the foreseeable future.
Shanghai Thunder
Initially brought out on the first of January in 1986, this was the which helped to introduce David Hewson to the world as a writer for the first time. Released through the Robert Hale publishing brand, it was to help set the style and the overall tone of how his books were to develop in the following years to come. This is thought to be one of his rarer entries, with there not being many copies of it believed to still be in print, as many have disappeared into the library system over time.
As a very early foray into writing it's an extremely interesting insight into how he's progressed as an author, so is a must for anybody hoping to get a lot into how far he has come as a writer. Featuring Michael Hogarth as its art historian protagonist, it follows his attempts to track down a 12th century Chinese painting for the benefit of a Chinese businessman. This turns out to be harder than he first anticipated though, as his journey takes him a lot farther than he'd initially expected, coming into a lot of trouble along the way. Will he find the painting? Who is the business-man and what do they want with painting? What will become of him as he discovers the truth behind the Shanghai thunder?
The Sacred Cut
Originally published in 2005 on the first of January through the Dell publishing house, this was to be the third book in the ongoing Nic Costa series of novels. Following the eponymous detective, they maintain their momentum throughout, keeping up the narrative and sustaining the overall tone, something which its many readers have come to appreciate over the years. That's not to say that it's not without its twists and turns, which help to keep the readers guessing right until the very end and on the edges of their seats.
Dealing with a murder in the streets of Rome after a body is discovered, Nic Costa is called to the scene once again to deal with the travesty. The big difference with this case though, is that it took place under the great dome of the Pantheon, and it appears that there have been a succession of similar murders taking place across the world in other large monuments. With the woman being an American, a squad of U.S. agents also descend on the case, something which Nic Costa must also now contend with. Who is comitting the murders? Where will they strike next? What is the secret behind the sacred cut?

Tibor Bakonyi, Zsolt Radak. (2004) High Altitude and Free Radicals. Journal of Sports Science and Medicine (03), 64 - 69.
High altitude exposure results in decreased oxygen pressure and an increased formation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), which is often associated with increases in oxidative damage to lipids, proteins and DNA. Exposure to high altitude appears to decrease the activity and effectiveness of antioxidant enzymes system. Moreover, during high altitude exposure several RONS generating source are activated, including mitochondrial electron transport chain, xanthine oxidase, and nitric oxide synthase (NO). Physical exercise at high altitude can further enhance the oxidative stress. The available information suggests that RONS are involved and are even a causative factor of acute mountain sickness. Supplementation of antioxidant seems to be a necessary step to prevent or decrease to high altitude exposure associated oxidative stress.
