Tanak confident Hyundai can "fight hard" in 2022 WRC
Tom Howard
Ott Tanak is confident he will be able to "fight hard" for success in the 2022 World Rally Championship despite Hyundai's late start in developing its new Rally1 machine.
The 2019 world champion endured a frustrating 2021 campaign claiming more stage wins than any of his rivals, but witnessed victories slip from his grasp due to reliability issues.
Tanak, who missed last year's final round in Monza due to personal reasons, is eager to kick off the 2022 season which presents a fresh start, courtesy of the WRC's embracing hybrid technology as part of new Rally1 regulations.
Although Hyundai was the last of the three marques to commit to the 2022 rules, Tanak has been impressed by the work undergone to create and develop the all-new i20, that is set to take on Toyota and M-Sport Ford, beginning at the Monte Carlo Rally on the 20-23 January.
The Korean brand was also the last team to unveil the final iteration of its car, which only began testing in late November. The operation is also without a permanent team principal following Andrea Adamo's departure last month.
"Let's say the last two years have not been too successful, so for sure it is a good chance for me to work with the guys and put a good strong car together," Tanak, who finished fifth in the 2021 standings, told Motorsport.com.
"It is good to see at the moment, and even if we started a bit late and a being a bit behind in our development, that the people are still working hard. I'm sure we can fight hard this year.
"There is really no idea what is the gap [to the opposition] or what the situation is at the moment. It is really challenging for everyone.
"We have been focussing on our own job and as long as we are happy with what we have done, we should be proud. If we keep working and try to achieve our goals, and if we can do that, then I'm sure we are going to be strong.
"It [the car] is slowly getting there. The potential is there and it seems to be a good package, so we just need to learn and understand where the window is for this car and how it is working."

Hyundai alongside rivals Toyota and M-Sport face a voyage into the unknown at Monte Carlo with reliability a huge concern for all the teams as their brand new hybrid cars tackle the challenging asphalt stages for the first time.
Not only will the use of hybrid power provide a challenge, but the cars will also run with significantly less aero and reduced suspension travel, and without a centre differential, courtesy of the new rules.
Such are the unknowns surrounding the cars, Tanak believes reliability will be more important than outright performance in Monte Carlo.
"To start the year reliability will be crucial," he added.
"I guess in the beginning we just need some good mileage experience and score points, so for sure the reliability is more a priority than the performance, but let's see.
"The guys are doing their best and hopefully it will work out."
Tanak will be joined by teammates Thierry Neuville and new signing Oliver Solberg for a pre-event test in France next week ahead of the season opener.

Ohuruogu, Sanders 1-2 for Britain; Ohuruogu wins just weeks after ending ban
By STEPHEN WADE, Associated Press
Weeks after completing a one-year ban for missing doping tests, Christine Ohuruogu won a 400-meters world title.
Ohuruogu, who ran 49.61 seconds, led a 1-2 finish for Britain at the world championships Wednesday, giving the British their first medals on the fifth day of the nine-day meet.
Nicola Sanders took silver in 49.65 barely outleaned at the tape. Noviene Williams of Jamaica took bronze in 49.66.
"At this time last year I was in complete turmoil," Ohuruogu said. "I didn't know what I was doing.
"I didn't know whether I was going to compete, continue training because I didn't see the point. I had so many things against me."
Prior to the championships, Ohuruogu had not raced since July 27, 2006, but has been in training for Osaka. She met the qualifying time of 51.50 seconds when she won the 400 Commonwealth Games title in March 2006 with a personal best of 50.28.
Ohuruogu responded to critics who said she did not belong on the British team.
"As far as I'm concerned, they can write what they like but I know what I do and I know the goals that I set myself," she said. "I'm pleased I can walk off the track with my head high because I know how hard I've worked for this despite what everyone else has said.
"The negativity has done nothing but spurred me on. It's nice to say to people: `Look, you got it wrong'."
Sanders also said the two of them had "proved them wrong" back in Britain, where little was expected.
"You can't ask for more than that," Sanders said. "Obviously I'd have liked if it had been the other way around. At the beginning of the season neither me nor Chirstine were running. My aim was just to make the final, and I thought that was a realistic aim. But to come second and Christine come first is fantastic."
Ohuruogu was suspended after missing three out-of-competition drugs tests, a violation which UK Athletics said was "due only to forgetfulness."
She has lodged an appeal against her lifetime ban from the Olympics, which the British Olympic Association automatically imposes on any athlete who commits a doping violation.

Salil Shetty (born 3 February 1961) is an Indian human rights activist who was the Secretary General of the human rights organization Amnesty International (2010–2018) till 31 July 2018. His tenure at Amnesty International was marred by significant controversy surrounding the organization's Global Transition Programme and the prevalence of a toxic workplace culture, which was later found to have contributed to the suicide of employee Gaetan Mootoo. Previously, he was the director of the United Nations Millennium Campaign. Before joining the UN, he served as the Chief Executive of ActionAid. In September, 2021, Shetty will become the Vice President of Global Programs at the Open Society Foundations.

In recognition of his long-term commitment to Human Rights and his deep understanding of the complexities of human rights issues, Shetty was appointed a Senior Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School's Carr Center for Human Rights for the academic year 2018–2019.

Shetty is also affiliated to Harvard University's Lakshmi Mittal and Family South Asia Institute for the academic year 2018–2019.  Affiliates contribute to the academic study of South Asia by bringing their expertise on a wide range of issues to Harvard University.

Early life and education
Shetty grew up in Bangalore. His late mother, Hemlatha Shetty, was active in women's groups and his father, V.T. Rajshekar, was active with the Dalit movement. Growing up in India in the tumultuous 1970s, he lived through the 1976 state of emergency which led to human rights being curtailed and an intense level of activism. He did his schooling from St. Joseph's Indian High School, Bangalore. He received a BCom in Advanced Accounting from St. Joseph's College of Commerce in 1981, an MBA in 1983 from the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, and an MSc in Social Policy and Planning from the London School of Economics in 1991 with distinction.

Early career
In 1983, Salil Shetty was hired from IIM-A by Azim Premji and began working for the Indian IT company Wipro.

ActionAid
Following this, Shetty joined ActionAid, one of the world's most respected international development NGOs, rising up to head ActionAid's operations in India and later Kenya in East Africa.  Shetty was the first person from the global south to be appointed as the Chief Executive of ActionAid, 1998- 2003. Salil Shetty is credited with not just transforming ActionAid into a Southern-led International organisation, moving its global headquarters from London to Johannesburg in South Africa, but set off an important new trend in global development organisations to become more participatory and bottom up in their approach.  The most recent major global organisation to move in this direction is Oxfam which has moved its headquarters to Nairobi, with an African woman CEO.

The move initiated by Salil Shetty enable ActionAid to work towards giving all its different country programmes a more equal say in how the organisation works. The new structure made ActionAid's commitment to accountability to the people, communities and countries it worked with a reality, and therefore making it more effective in fighting and eradicating poverty. In line with Shetty's commitment to making ActionAid a truly international organisation, during his tenure as Chief Executive regional programmes and policy advocacy offices were established in Bangkok, Harare, Brussels and Washington DC.

UN Millennium Campaign
Given his significant achievements at ActionAid, Shetty was then appointed the Director of the United Nations Millennium Campaign from 2003 till 2010. The UN Millennium Campaign was established by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan in 2002. The Campaign supported citizens' efforts to hold their governments to account for the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG's). Under Salil Shetty's leadership the campaign for the MDGs reached over a hundred countries across the globe and the MDGs gained a great deal of traction among decision makers and citizens alike.

In 2005, citizens groups, including NGOs, faith groups, trade unions, supported by the Millennium Campaign, mobilised for the MDGS/'Make Poverty History' campaign to increase awareness and pressuring governments into taking actions towards relieving absolute poverty. The campaign focused on the responsibility of developed countries, especially the G8 and European Union. The three focus areas for change were trade, debt and aid. Mass mobilisations were seen in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Norway and other developed countries.

The UN Millennium Campaign, under the leadership of Salil Shetty, also helped aggregate the various national campaigns into The Global Call to Action Against Poverty GCAP). GCAP is an alliance that brings together trade unions, international non-governmental organisations, the women's and youth movements, community and faith groups and others to call for action from world leaders in the global North and South to meet their promises to end poverty and inequality. GCAP added to existing campaigning on poverty by forming diverse, inclusive national platforms that are able to open up civil society space and advocate more effectively than individual organisations would be able to do on their own. It also organised global mass mobilisations that expressed solidarity between the global North and South, allowed tens of millions of ordinary people to make their voices heard.

An innovative mass action launched by the UN Millennium Campaign was the Stand Up initiative. On 16 October 2006, millions of people around the world joined together to 'Stand Up against Poverty' – an effort to remind governments that they must keep their promises to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and eradicate extreme poverty. Stand Up against Poverty, is also officially recognized in the Guinness World Record for the "greatest number of people to stand up for a given cause, at multiple locations, within 24 hours." Stand Up campaigns were held around the world by people of all ages, races and religions. Since 2006, the UN Millennium Campaign organized record breaking Stand Up events annually around the world, to campaign for the MDGs.

Amnesty International
Shetty was appointed as Secretary General of the human rights organization Amnesty International from July 2010. The role involved being chief strategist, advocate and spokesperson for the global Amnesty movement and Chief Executive of the International Secretariat.

During his tenure at Amnesty, Salil Shetty traveled extensively, visiting over 70 countries, meeting grassroots activists, political leaders and members of the media, as well as those on whose behalf Amnesty International campaigns.  This has included visits to Egypt in the aftermath of the 2011 uprisings and to Australia to campaign for the rights of indigenous people. He also represented Amnesty International at major meetings at the UN, the World Economic Forum and led the organisation's show of solidarity in Oslo for the imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Liu Xiaobo calling on the Chinese authorities to improve their human rights record.
Shetty was also instrumental in establishing the Secretary General's Global Council, which was established to help raise public support and financial resources to fuel Amnesty International's expansion in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. The goal of the Global Council is to raise financial resources and support for projects connected to Amnesty International's Strategic Goals 2016-2019. These goals seek to address the rising inequality the world is facing, increasing movement of people within and across borders, ongoing crises and conflicts, unlawful actions by states in the name of public order and ending terrorism. Salil Shetty invited Sir Richard Branson to co-Chair the Council which had leading human rights supporters from the world of art, business and philanthropy including Paulo Coelho, Yoko Ono, Tony Fernandes, Hadeel Ibrahim, Bassim Haidar and Krishna Rao.

As Secretary General, Salil Shetty revived Art for Amnesty and the Ambassador of Conscience Award, Amnesty International's highest honour that recognizes remarkable individuals and groups who have promoted and enhanced the cause of human rights by acting on their conscience, confronting injustice and using their talents to inspire others.

After completing two terms of four years each, Salil Shetty decided to step down as Secretary General in July 2018.

Global Transition Programme
As Secretary General, Salil Shetty led a major change process to transform Amnesty International from being a predominantly European organisation to a truly global people's movement for human rights. This Global Transition Programme (GTP) to move Amnesty "closer to the ground" represented a significant organizational change for Amnesty: it set up Regional Offices across the globe in 11 locations, hired the vast majority of its staff and leaders from the global south. The change process also focused on strengthening the integration across segments and functions within the organization and strengthening Amnesty's national chapters/sections, particularly in the South.

Amnesty also aimed to increase its supporters and activists in the global South, while diversifying its institutional sources of funding.  The change process was aimed to lead to "Amnesty having significantly greater impact by becoming a more global movement" and to result in "acting with greater legitimacy, speed, capacity and relevance as we stand alongside those whose rights are violated". New national offices were set up in India, Brazil, Nigeria, Indonesia, South Africa and Kenya in 2012.

An independent study conducted by the Transnational NGO Initiative housed at Syracuse University on the Global Transition programme observed that the Global Transition Programme had resulted in only a modest increase in the human rights impact of Amnesty's work. The report also found that Amnesty's visibility in national and regionally salient media and localities and languages was somewhat enhanced, while its credibility among the general public and other stakeholders was generally thought to have improved as a result of the GTP. GTP also contributed to Amnesty's supportership growth strategy through the increase of supporters in a few selected countries such as India.

Decentralisation controversy and staff suicides

The decentralisation of Amnesty International's international secretariat, led by Shetty, caused a serious dispute amongst the organisation's staff. According to an article published by the Guardian on 2 December 2012, staff objected to leadership reneging on long-standing terms and conditions, including severance, immediately prior to initiating job cuts, resulting in the first ever vote to strike by the organisation's employees.
The British newspaper The Observer, where Amnesty International's founder launched the organization in 1961, characterized the situation caused by Shetty's sacking of staff working on core issues such as women's rights and the death penalty: "Amnesty was one of 20th-century Britain's greatest gifts to the world. Now it is a wreck."On 25 May 2018, Amnesty International's West Africa researcher, Gaëtan Mootoo, was found dead in the organization's offices in Paris. Five weeks later, Roz McGregor, a paid intern in Amnesty International's Geneva office, committed suicide in an apparently unrelated incident. Shetty stood down as Secretary General in July 2018 shortly after the deaths. The friends and families of both employees cited concerns about Amnesty's organizational culture as contributing factors in their deaths, leading the organization to order two independent inquiries. The first, carried out by the KonTerra Group was tasked with investigating Amnesty's workplace culture and the wellbeing of its employees, while the second examined the circumstances of Gaetan Mootoo's death and was conducted by James Laddie QC. Both reports were highly critical of Amnesty International's senior leadership. In particular, the KonTerra Group report found that "bullying and public humiliation was used as a management tool" and that the "management-related issues observed went well beyond normal failures of effective management in high pressure contexts". The report concluded that "senior staff bear responsibility for the toxic culture that currently exists. Staff fear senior leadership [...] many individuals feel overwhelmed, underappreciated and generally miserable".

Open Society Foundations
On June 9, 2021 it was announced that Shetty would become the Vice President of Global Programs at the Open Society Foundations on September 1, 2021.

Awards
On 2 February 2012, Salil Shetty received an honorary degree from University Catholic of Louvain (UCL) on behalf of Amnesty International.

In 2014, Salil Shetty given the 'Public Servant of the Year' award by the prestigious Asian Awards in London. The Asian Awards is the only event that pays tribute to Asian success across all walks of life; emphasising inspiring achievements and highlighting inspirational role models in the fields of business, sport, entertainment, philanthropy and popular arts and culture.

In June 2018, Shetty was awarded the Stardust Achievers Award for Excellence in Humanitarian Service. The Stardust Achievers Awards honours Indian achievers from diverse fields in the UK.

Auburn tries to avoid letdown against ULM
By John ZenorThe Associated Press
AUBURN — The Auburn Tigers face a different type of test this week.
Fresh from a big win and with No. 1 Alabama looming, the sixth-ranked Tigers want to avoid a morale-sapping letdown when Louisiana-Monroe visits on Saturday.
Auburn (8-2, No. 6 CFP) is coming off a 40-17 win over No. 7 Georgia, which came in as the top team in the playoff rankings. The Tigers can ensure a spot in the Southeastern Conference championship game if they win that game.
Then they'd face Georgia again with a playoff berth on the line — providing they don't stumble badly against the 36-point underdog Warhawks (4-5) and have their playoff stock fall.
"A lot of teams after a big win you've seen this year around the country, have a falloff," Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said. "We can't have a falloff. That's our challenge to our team: to keep our momentum going into the last game of the year and just keeping that championship urgency this week.
"That's my message to our team and I expect us to do that."
The Tigers have rolled to three straight SEC wins by an average of 23.3 points.
Now they face a ULM team that's coming off an open date following its biggest victory of the season, 52-45 over Sun Belt Conference power Appalachian State.
The Warhawks' offense is leading the Sun Belt in total and rushing yards, but the team ranks last in total and passing defense.
Coach Matt Viator figures the biggest challenge comes against Auburn's front lines, which had strong performances against Georgia.
"It starts with their offensive and defensive lines," Viator said. "They're fabulous. Really top-notch players on their offensive line, and their defensive line has been dominant all year long."
Here are some other things to watch when Auburn hosts Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday:
NOT LOOKNG AHEAD
Excessive celebration of the Georgia win isn't the only potential distraction for Auburn. The Tigers also are trying to avoid thinking about the Iron Bowl. "You have to be mentally focused ... because everybody's talking Iron Bowl, Iron Bowl," Tigers receiver Ryan Davis said. "Really, the Iron Bowl doesn't matter if you don't win this game. We have to win this game, and the Iron Bowl will take care of itself next week."
KERRYON'S CARRIES
Auburn tailback Kerryon Johnson could probably use a light day of work, if circumstances allow it. Johnson has averaged 27 carries over the last six games, including a 32-run, 167-yard performance against Georgia. With Kamryn Pettway sidelined by a shoulder injury, that could leave more carries for Kam Martin, Malik Miller and freshman Devan Barrett.
Auburn ranks among the SEC's top four teams in scoring, total, rushing and passing offense. ULM's defense has struggled, giving up a Sun Belt-worst 505.3 yards per game and ranking 10th in allowing 37.9 points on average.
ALL-PURPOSE THREAT
Warhawks freshman Marcus Green leads the Sun Belt in all-purpose yards, averaging 155.9 yards per game. He has returned three kicks for touchdowns and kickoff coverage has been an issue for Auburn. Green also has returned punts and has 517 receiving yards.
AUBURN'S BLOCKERS
Guard Mike Horton (left ankle) and tackle Darius James (leg) have been nursing injuries lately. Marquel Harrell started two of the past three games at left guard. Malzahn said Auburn coaches will "see where that goes later in the week" on whether Horton and/or James will play.

Pizza Hut, Turning All Its Touch Points Digital!
Pizza Hut, the speedy express delivery eatery network, is utilizing computerized testing to guarantee that it changes to its online center point. Establishes the correct linking with customers from a conduct and attitudinal viewpoint alike.
Rachel Lorraine, executive/key evaluating at Pizza Hut, talked about this subject at The Market Research Event (TMRE) 2018, a meeting held by KNect365.
"Today, the greater part of our requests are put on the web," she said.
Given that customers who make buys on the telephone or in a store frequently peruse its site first, it is clear this stage has an impact over the brand's the same old thing. "Our site has a ridiculously huge obligation," said Lorraine.
Against this scenario, the Plano, Texas-based endeavor conveys different types of web-based testing, from client encounter and inquire about individuals through to the A/B testing of various sites and highlights its major features.
Sitting between that we combined research systems, a virtual testing program, which commonly observes 400 to 600 online clients preliminary a cloned rendition of its computerized center point that isn't live on the web, yet definitely recreates its genuine administration.

"This is something that causes us to organize advanced arrangements .. dependent on not exactly what do buyers like and what they are letting us know, however, anticipated main concern affect," Lorraine said.

The Secret Foods Dietitians Eat to Stay Fit and Healthy
By Samantha O September 3, 2020 Nutrition 0 Comments
Ask food or nutrition professionals what their favorite food is, and chances are you'll get a wide variety of responses. Some experts love particular foods for their flavor profile, while others are drawn to certain foods for their versatility in the kitchen or nutrient impact on health. I asked a few dietitian friends and colleagues what their go-to health food is and the responses were wide and varied. Here are a few under-the-radar food finds that dietitians in the know are recommending right now.
Can't Fail With Good Fats
One of the keys to smart eating is choosing foods that help you stay full. Refined carbohydrates and high-sugar foods may fill you up fast, but they leave you feeling flat soon after that. Good fats are the antidotes to hunger pangs, and avocados contain the unsaturated fats that are a heart-smart way to help keep you full.
Dr. Anne VanBeber, PhD, RD, is a professor and the department chair of nutritional sciences at Texas Christian University. Her go-to snack is half of an avocado sprinkled with a little kosher or sea salt. "I just eat it with a spoon," VanBeber says. "I know I'm getting some good fat, some good fiber, and it will help fill me up. Avocados help with cravings and keep me from eating sugary foods."
Pack it In With Powdered Peanut Butter
Elizabeth Shaw, MS, RDN, of ShawSimpleSwaps.com, says that powdered peanut butter is hands-down, one of her favorite foods. "Because it's essentially powdered peanuts with the oil removed, there's 85 percent less fat and calories than you find in traditional peanut butter, which makes powdered peanut butter a great swap for an everyday routine."
Shaw explains that, although she loves the real deal as well, she sometimes finds it hard to stick to a two-tablespoon serving of peanut butter, and those calories can easily rack up. She adds powdered peanut butter as a flavor enhancer and protein pump in her yogurt and smoothies, and also spreads it on toast topped with banana slices for an awesome on-the-go snack.
Caught Red Handed With Cruciferous Veggies
The cruciferous vegetable family members are particularly potent when it comes to nutrition benefits. These vegetables contain fiber and vitamin C and include crunchy favorites like Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, bok choy and broccoli. Integrative dietitian and nutrition coach EA Stewart, aka the Spicy RD, is totally taken with one cruciferous vegetable in particular: red cabbage, which she calls, "One of the most underrated super foods out there."
Stewart loves red cabbage not only for its crunchy contributions to the gluten-free recipes she creates, but also admires its potential cancer-fighting health benefits. It's also a cost-effective and inexpensive ingredient to have on hand. Stewart recently deepened her relationship with red cabbage by creating this delectable Fennel, Apple and Red Cabbage Slaw with Creamy Maple Tarragon Dressing recipe.
The Ever-lovable Egg
Dietitians don't always get super fancy with their favorite food finds. In fact, Sarah Koszyk, MA, RDN, sports dietitian and blogger at Family. Food. Fiesta., says that eggs are her favorite secret weapon. "It may sound simple, but I'm a huge fan of eggs because they provide high-quality proteins, choline and vitamins D, B2 and B12. To top it off, eggs are so versatile for cooking and relatively inexpensive." Choline, she points out, "is a nutrient important for maintaining a healthy metabolism."
To get her daily egg fix, Koszyk uses hard-boiled eggs in salads and sandwiches and also adds them to soups. And to start her day, nothing beats avocado toast topped with a soft-boiled egg for breakfast.
Fermented Food Fans Unite
Fermented foods are definitely having their day in the sun. Food and nutrition blogger and dietitian Liz Weiss, MS, RDN, says that one of the secret foods she consumes to stay healthy is kombucha, a lightly fermented tea that's a little fizzy, a bit vinegary in flavor, and good for gut health.
Weiss highlights the good bacteria benefit of fermented foods like kombucha, explaining, "The reason I drink kombucha is because our bodies are more bacterial than they are human, so it's important to consume fermented foods as well as fiber-rich foods, which those good bugs love to eat." She recently hosted an episode all about fermented foods on her podcast Liz's Healthy Table, which you can catch over at LizsHealthyTable.com.
Savory Porridge in the Pot
University of California, Berkeley nutrition lecturer and dietitian and food blogger Kristen Rasmussen de Vasquez, MS, RD, found her stealth health food—savory porridge—on a trip to Copenhagen where hygge, or "beyond cozy," is the status quo. She loves the versatility of porridge: "If you have grain, liquid and leftover vegetables, you have a savory porridge."
You can add an egg or other protein and some flavoring agents to dress it up, but basically with savory porridge, "You have a delicious, healthy, and cost- and environmentally-friendly porridge party on your hands." Rasmussen de Vaxquez's penchant for porridge and New Nordic cuisine is so strong that she recently began hosting "Porridge Pop Ups" in the San Francisco Bay Area. You can read more about the power of porridge over at her blog Rooted Food.
…or Maybe Skip the Secret Foods Altogether?
When asked about her secret food for staying healthy, intuitive eating and eating disorder dietitian Lindsay Stenovec, MS, RD, shared, "My secret is I don't have any secret foods! I enjoy a wide range of foods with varying nutritional value, sans guilt." A great reminder from a mindful-eating expert that all foods can provide value, and there's no such thing as a "perfect" food or a "bad" food.
(But…when pressed to share one of her all-time favorite foods – regardless of its impact – Stenovec, who is also founder of The Nurtured Mama Club said she's a fan of potatoes. "I was recently turned on to stuffed hasselback potato recipes and I love filling them up with different creative combos of veggies, artisan cheeses and meats!" )

[UPDATE] GameStop and EB Games are now listing Bethesda's RPG and Vivendi's FPS as not coming until early next year; latter delay now official.
As it held its Gamers' Day event in San Francisco, Sony announced the launch lineup for the PlayStation 3. The list had 21 games, including the PS3 edition of Bethesda Softworks' critically lauded role-playing game Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Vivendi's acclaimed first-person shooter F.E.A.R. Sony said all the games on the list would be "available through the holidays," which traditionally means the end of the year.
However, now it appears that timeframe may extend to some 2007 holidays. The product pages at both EBgames.com and Gamestop.com now list Oblivion as shipping January 1, New Year's Day, and F.E.A.R. shipping on February 6, when Jamaicans celebrate Bob Marley Day.
Could the new dates be errors in EBgames.com and Gamestop.com's shared database? Given the two sites' history of revealing delays before publishers do, that seems unlikely. However, the dual PS3 delays are still not official. Vivendi reps declined to comment on the new F.E.A.R. ship date. [UPDATE] However, Bethesda Softworks has now officially confirmed that the PS3 Oblivion is a "Q1 2007 title."


Even though he left on a low, John Stumpf, former CEO of Wells Fargo, will take about $133.1 million into retirement.
The beleaguered executive retired Wednesday afternoon as investors, lawmakers, and consumers grew increasingly frustrated with how Stumpf handled the fallout of the bank's phony account scandal. He first denied that the bank's culture had led to the 2 million credit card and deposit accounts opened without permission. Instead, he blamed some 5,300 bad employees who had been fired. Before Congress in late September, he denied that the scandal was as grave as they saw it—fanning their ire, leading the bank to clawback a portion of his pay. The bank said that Stumpf would not get a severance package.
But despite that, and giving up $41 million, Stumpf is still walking away with a pay package that goes into the nine figures, according to executive compensation research firm, Equilar, showing how large CEO pay packages are, even after executives are punished for significant mistakes.
The majority of Stumpf's payday comes from some 2.4 million shares in the company that Stumpf earned over his years working at the company. That stake is worth $109.9 million based on Wednesday's closing price.
Stumpf also has some $4.4 million from deferred compensation, and another $19.9 million in his pension account.
The pay calculation does not include the office space, personal driver and administrative assistant Stumpf would be eligible for if he stays on as a consultant to Wells Fargo for the next two years. Those benefits are worth about $200,000, according to the firm's proxy filing.
What's more, while the bank has said that it will claw back $41 million in unvested options from Stumpf, it's not clear where that is coming from. The most recent filings from the company only accounts for about $24 million of the $41 million in unvested shares Wells Fargo says it has clawed back. That suggests that the bank awarded another 39,920 or so shares between February and September that would have vested some time after September 27—the date the claw back was announced.
Stumpf has been CEO of Wells Fargo, once the largest U.S. bank by market cap, since 2007. and he has been with the company since 1998, when Norwest merged with Wells Fargo.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass), a noted Wall Street critic and one of Stumpf's harshest detractors throughout the scandal, has still been calling for Stumpf to give back more of his pay, and undergo investigation by the Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission.
The focus on Wells Fargo's executive team is also unlikely to abate with Stumpf's departure. His successor, Tim Sloan, and former Chief Operating Officer, has been an executive throughout the time Wells Fargo was creating phony accounts. The SEC investigation says it began in 2013, though some employees say it began as far back as 2005. As recently as July, Sloan said that he didn't think the company's cross selling strategy was fundamentally flawed.
Shares of Wells Fargo (wfc) are down 1.67% today.

Obama hails Senate passage of health bill
"These are not small reforms; these are big reforms," the president says
Check out this article! https://www.salon.com/2009/12/24/obama_128/
December 24, 2009 7:10PM (UTC)
In brief remarks Thursday morning, President Obama praised the Senate for passing its version of healthcare reform legislation.
"With passage of reform bills in both the House and the Senate, we are now finally poised to deliver on the promise of real, meaningful health-insurance reform that will bring additional security and stability to the American people," Obama said.
In a comment that appeared intended for critics of the bill on the left, the president also said, "these are not small reforms; these are big reforms," adding, "If passed, this will be the most important piece of social legislation since the Social Security Act passed in the 1930s and the most important reform of our health care system since Medicare passed in the 1960s."
Finally, in a nod to the fact that a final bill -- which still has to be worked out by the House and Senate, and then passed again -- will not, as he and his fellow Democrats had hoped, be hitting his desk before the end of this year, Obama said, "For the sake of our citizens, our economy, and our future, let's make 2010 the year we finally reform health care in the United States of America."
Obama's full statement:
In a historic vote that took place this morning, members of the Senate joined their colleagues in the House of Representatives to pass a landmark health-insurance reform package; legislation that brings us toward the end of a nearly century-long struggle to reform America's health-care system.
Every since Teddy Roosevelt first called for reform in 1912, seven presidents -- Democrats and Republicans alike -- have taken up the cause of reform. Time and time again, such efforts have been blocked by special-interest lobbyists who perpetuated a status quo that works better for the insurance industry than it does for the American people.
But with passage of reform bills in both the House and the Senate, we are now finally poised to deliver on the promise of real, meaningful health-insurance reform that will bring additional security and stability to the American people.
The reform bill that passed the Senate this morning, like the House bill, includes the toughest measures ever taken to hold the insurance industry accountable. Insurance companies will no longer be able to deny you coverage on the basis of a pre-existing condition. They will no long be able to drop your coverage when you get sick.
No longer will you have to pay unlimited amounts out of your own pocket for the treatments you need. And you'll be able to appeal unfair decisions by insurance companies to an independent party.
If this legislation becomes law, workers won't have to worry about losing coverage if they lose or change jobs. Families will save on their premiums. Businesses that would see their costs rise if we do not act will save money now and they will save money in the future.
This bill will strengthen Medicare and extend the life of the program. It will make coverage affordable for over 30 million Americans who do not have it -- 30 million Americans.
And because it is paid for and curbs the waste and inefficiency in our health care system, this bill will help reduce our deficit by as much as $1.3 trillion in the coming decades, making it the largest deficit-reduction plan in over a decade.
As I've said before, these are not small reforms; these are big reforms. If passed, this will be the most important piece of social legislation since the Social Security Act passed in the 1930s and the most important reform of our health care system since Medicare passed in the 1960s.
What makes it so important is not just its cost savings or its deficit reductions. It's the impact reform will have on Americans who no longer have to go without a checkup or prescriptions that they need because they can't afford them, on families who no longer have to worry that a single illness will send them into financial ruin, and on businesses that will no longer face exorbitant insurance rates that hamper their competitiveness. It's the difference reform will make in the lives of the American people.
I want to commend Senator Harry Reid, extraordinary work that he did, Speaker Pelosi, for her extraordinary leadership and dedication. Having passed reform bills in both the House and the Senate, we now have to take up the last and most important step and reach an agreement on a final reform bill that I can sign into law.
And I look forward to working with members of Congress in both chambers over the coming weeks to do exactly that. With today's vote, we are now incredibly close to making health insurance reform a reality in this country. Our challenge then is to finish the job.
We can't doom another generation of Americans to soaring costs and eroding coverage and exploding deficits. Instead, we need to do what we were sent here to do and improve the lives of the people we serve.
For the sake of our citizens, our economy, and our future, let's make 2010 the year we finally reform health care in the United States of America.

[pot] For the remainder of combat, all damaging strikes that require Potence [pot] made by this vampire inflict +1 damage.
[POT] As above, but those strikes inflict +2 damage.
Whisker wrote: Hello, just to make sure, strikes granted by Heroic Might are not strikes requiring potence, just abilities from card in play? e.g. you can't boost them with potence altering effects like increased strength?
Curiously, the answer is actually "Yes, you can do that", with the damage-dealing strike.
Pascal did appear to think about changing it in [FZD 20160414] , but nothing has happened that I'm aware of.
For my money, I think the original ruling is wrong. If the strike requires Potence, the vampire should surely have Potence when choosing it - but card text doesn't require that, and the vampire may have lost their Potence since playing Heroic Might. (e.g. a Hand of Conrad that went away, Agent of Power that's since burned etc.) But that isn't where we currently are.

Q: How do I turn a number into a date? I have a dataset with the dates given in numbers from 1995 to 2016.
1/1/1995 is equal to 1, 2/1/1995 is 2 and 31/12/2016 is 8036, so every day is one number.
How do I turn my time array [1,2,3,...,8034,8035,8036] into dates of dd/mm/yyyy?

A: Use the datetime.fromordinal(x) method. This creates a date from the number x, signifying the number of days since 0001-01-01.
If you want to start with x==1 being 1995-01-01, you can do
d = datetime.date(1,1,1) # actual date does not matter
print d.fromordinal( datetime.date(1994,12,31).toordinal() + x)

where x is the number of days since the last day of 1994.

A: Use the epoch conversion which is also supported by the python time library. The unix epoch time starts on 01/01/1970 and is counted in seconds. If you add 788932800 seconds to reach 01/01/1995, you can then add 86400 (seconds per day) and can use standard techniques to calculated the "seconds from epoch" back to a correct date.
Example code:
#!/usr/bin/python
import time
entryid = 5
epochdate = 788932800 + entryid * 86400
print time.strftime("%d/%m/%y", time.gmtime(epochdate))

A: does this help for first 100 days? You can change the no though.
import time
epochOne = 788918400 #epoch for 1995-01-01 00:00:00
oneDay = 86400 #epoch for 86400
noOfDays = 8036

for each in range(noOfDays):
  epochEach = epochOne + (each * oneDay)
  print(time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', time.localtime(epochEach)))

Q: Netlogo: adding a plant to the wolf sheep stride inheritance Me and my friends are working on a project for school.
In which we're basically trying to make a realistic model out of the model of the following link: https://netlogoweb.org/launch#https://netlogoweb.org/assets/modelslib/Sample%20Models/Biology/Unverified/Wolf%20Sheep%20Stride%20Inheritance.nlogo
Our biology teacher had the idea to add a poisonous plant to the model.
But our programming skills aren't good so we do not exactly know what we could do to add this plant. we know that we should probably add the plant to the code as a patch, but apart from that we do not know what we should do.
If there's anyone who could help us, we would be very thankful.

Q: Bootstrap: Changing Grid Dimensions I have a container of rows that I'd like to make the container bigger.  By default, bootstrap has it at 1200px.  I thought that by changing col-md-4 to something like col-lg-4, it would expand the grid but it doesn't for me.  Is there a way to expand the grid?

A: If you don't want to mess around with less variables and just want to increase your container size...make sure your custom css style sheet is called after your bootstrap css so that it isn't overridden and then use a simple css markup in your style sheet such as
@media (min-width: 1200px) {
.container{
    width: 1400px;
}

You could even use min-width/max-width properties, or as benja pointed out you could also use container-fluid to maximize your container to the full width of the viewport.

A: You can use <div class="container-fluid"> for a container that will take the full width of your viewport.

A: Go to the Customize menu on Bootstrap website and choose your preferred size. In Less Variables -> Grid system you can find a form to input your preferred sizes. Then you can easily download the preferred grid. Hope this will help.

A: The middle term in col-XX-num corresponds to the screen size that will cause a "break" in your grid so that the items in the grid are responsive. For example, a div with a class of col-sm-4 will take up 4 of the 12 grid cells in a default Bootstrap row until the "small" screen size is noted (in Bootstrap "small" is defined as 750px). Read more about the Bootstrap grid.
If you want to change the width of the Bootstrap container, use this CSS:
.container{
    max-width: 1900px;
}

This will make the container wider but will not make your grid bigger. The Bootstrap grid is locked at 12 cells per row. When you use the class col-md-4 as you gave in your example, you are telling Bootstrap to make this element take up 4 out of a possible 12 cells in this row.
Perhaps you will achieve your desired result making your columns take up less cells. Something like col-md-2 then you can use something like col-md-offset-2 to position the column within the row if needed.
Hope this helps!

Steps In A Florida Criminal Case
ARREST / NOTICE TO APPEAR
This marks the beginning of your criminal case. If an officer has probable cause to believe you have committed a crime, he can make an arrest and file the case with the Clerk of Court.
Sometimes an officer may give you a Notice to Appear in lieu of an arrest, which informs you that you are being charged with a crime and sets a court date.
Arraignment (Usually Waived)
At arraignment, your charges are formally read to you and you must enter a plea of guilty, not guilty, or no contest. We will usually waive arraignment and simply file a written plea of not guilty.
This means that your arraignment is cancelled and you don't need to attend.
At the beginning of your case we will file a notice of appearance and demand for discovery (evidence known to the prosecutor), which the prosecutor is required by law to disclose. The prosecutor must also disclose any evidence that could help establish your innocence.
It can take up to several months to receive all the discovery from the prosecutor and often times extends over several pretrial conferences.
PRETRIAL CONFERENCES
Between the beginning of the case and its resolution are pretrial conferences, where your attorney, the prosecutor, and the judge will discuss your case status.
As the case progresses, we will file motions to prepare your case and sometimes pressure the prosecutor to drop your case. A motion simply asks the judge to make a decision or take a certain action on your case.
Here are some examples of motions:
A motion to suppress will try to get evidence thrown out if it is the product of an illegal search, seizure, or confession.
A motion to dismiss tries to get the case dropped because you cannot be prosecuted: e.g., the prosecutor does not have enough evidence to prove you committed a crime, you were granted immunity, or double jeopardy applies.
A motion to compel asks the judge to order the prosecutor to turn over any outstanding discovery.
PLEA DEAL
There will always be ongoing negotiations for a plea deal that is acceptable to you, right up until trial begins. But if the prosecutor's offer is unacceptable or you choose to fight your case, we will be prepared to go to trial on your behalf.
As an alternative to taking the plea deal, you also have the option of taking the case directly to trial where a prosecutor has to prove you are guilty.
Should I Move forward with a Motion to Suppress?
RISKS & REWARDS TO CONSIDER
If the motion to suppress is granted, you can have your entire case dismissed or receive a better plea offer. Even if all of the prosecutor's evidence isn't thrown out, the prosecutor may offer a better plea deal after the motion is heard. But it cuts both ways: If the court denies the motion, the prosecutor could also revoke the plea offer or add more sanctions.
The Motion to Suppress Hearing
The point of the motion to suppress is to throw out any evidence that was obtained as a result of a violation of your constitutional rights. At the hearing, we and the prosecutor will present evidence and argue whether the officers violated your rights. The judge will then issue an order throwing out all, some, or none of the evidence.
WHAT IS THE HEARING ABOUT?
A motion to suppress tries to have evidence thrown out that police obtained in violation of your constitutional rights. For example, the motion may challenge evidence or statements you made that are the product of an illegal traffic stop or illegal questioning.
The point of a hearing on a motion to suppress is not to see whether you are guilty, but to determine whether the police violated your constitutional rights—the focus is on what the officers did, not what you did. The judge will then decide whether the prosecutor will be allowed to show the evidence to the jury.
EVIDENCE IS PRESENTED
At the beginning of the hearing, we and the prosecutor will present evidence to the judge. The evidence will usually come from questioning witnesses and playing any video footage the officers took on the scene.
Once all of the evidence has been received, we will then argue what the facts are based on the evidence and why the facts show that your constitutional rights were violated.
The final step is for the judge to decide whether to grant the motion to suppress and throw out the evidence. The judge may either issue a ruling immediately at the hearing or "reserve" ruling to think more about the facts and law. Additionally, the judge's ruling could be either oral or written.
The ultimate ruling can take one of several different forms:
The judge may grant the motion to suppress in its entirety and throw all of the evidence out.
If the judge finds that only some of the evidence was obtained as a result of a violation of your rights, then the judge may throw out that evidence but let the other evidence stand.
The judge may deny the motion to suppress entirely. If this is the case, then the prosecutor is allowed to introduce the evidence at your trial.
What To Expect At Your Plea Hearing
BEFORE THE PLEA
When you show up to court for your plea hearing, be sure to dress nicely to make a good impression on the judge.
Once we're in court, we usually have to wait in line while the judge goes through a list of cases.
Once your case is called up, you and your attorney will walk up and tell the judge that you are pleaing and what the agreed-upon conditions are.
THE PLEA HEARING
The judge will then ask a series of questions to make sure you understand the consequences of your plea. You can see a list of questions the judge may ask in the next section below.
QUESTIONS THE JUDGE MAY ASK
Do you understand the minimum and maximum penalties of your charges?
Has anyone forced you or promised you anything (other than the plea offer) to get you to enter this plea?
Are you under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication?
Are you satisfied with your representation by your lawyer?
Do you understand that you are giving up certain rights by entering this plea, including the right to remain silent, the right to confront your accusers, the right to present witnesses on your behalf, and the right to a trial by a jury of your peers?
You don't have to worry about the judge asking questions about the case, as that almost never happens. The judge is more concerned with making sure you understand what you are pleaing to.
AFTER THE PLEA
Once the judge accepts your plea, we will wait for paperwork. If you are put on probation, you will have to take your paperwork to the probation office to check in, which usually must be done on the same day as the plea. We will go over this and any other consequences of your plea in detail after the plea hearing.
The first step of trial is choosing who will serve on the jury. During jury selection, we question potential jurors and try to remove jurors who would be bad for your case.
OPENING STATEMENTS
Trial will begin once your jury is selected, starting with opening statements. This gives us a chance to explain to the jury what we think the evidence will show.
Once opening statements are completed, the prosecutor will be the first to present evidence by questioning witnesses and showing pictures or videos that were taken in your case.
DEFENSE CASE-IN-CHIEF
Once the prosecutor has finished presenting evidence, we can present evidence for your side. This isn't required, and sometimes it's beneficial not to put on a case—for example, when the prosecutor's evidence fails to prove that you are guilty.
Once each side's evidence is presented, we can make certain motions to the judge, which asks the judge to take a certain action on the case. We will typically make a motion for a judgment of acquittal, which argues that even if the jury believes all of the prosecutor's evidence, it still doesn't prove that you committed the charged crimes. We might also make a motion for mistrial if you didn't get a fair trial.
CLOSING ARGUMENT
If the judge decides to send the case to the jury, each side will make closing arguments. This allows us and the prosecutor to summarize the evidence and argue whether it proves that you are guilty.
The judge will then tell the jury the process for reaching a verdict, and the jury will finally be sent to a separate room to deliberate and decide whether the State has proved that you committed the charged crime.

Let's face it: airline companies typically don't have the best reputation for customer care. But Southwest Airlines pulled through the help a customer in her time of need and went so far as to turn the plane around for her!
Peggy had just boarded her flight to Chicago from Columbus when her husband attempted to call her because their sun had fallen into a coma back in Denver, where they lived. Her phone was off as she had been getting ready for the plane to take off, so her husband called the airline instead.
Immediately, airport customer service rushed to contact the pilots and have Peggy informed of what was going on. Luckily, the plane had only begun moving and had yet to take off, so the plane was immediately stopped and a taxi was called for Peggy, who rode it back to the gate. She was then able to speak properly with her husband about the matter.
Peggy now had to fly to Denver instead, and Southwest Airlines pulled through and rescheduled her flight for her for free! She was even given a private waiting area and was allowed to board the plane before other passengers. When she disembarked at Denver, a packed lunch was waiting for her. Her luggage was safety rerouted as well.
It's truly heartwarming how this airline pulled through to help Peggy through a difficult time of her life! Share away, people.

After joining the Pasir Gudang kitefestival, Volker went with all the other kitefliers to Alon Setar.
This kitefestival took place the first time since many years.
The kitefiled was situated a bit out of the city, close to rice paddies. A set of 132kV powerlines downwind of the kitefield proved to be magnetic to kites, although no final losses had to be claimed (thanks to Tenaga Nasional). Alon Setar kitefestival followed the good wind conditions fo Pasir Gudang: Most of the time there was enough wind to anchor the kites for several hours.
In the morning of the 26.2., we visited the house were Mahathir bin Mohamad , the 4th prime minister of Malaysia grew up. The place included exibitions of the early life of Mr. Mahatir. Additionally, we visited the Muzium Padi , which is the first museaum in Malysia designated to rice farming.
I look forward to join this kitefestival next year again.
