The Association of Media & Entertainment Counsel announced that Jeff Gewirtz, Executive Vice President, Business Affairs and Chief Legal Officer, Brooklyn Nets and Barclays Center, will be honored as its 2014 Sports Counsel of the Year. Gewirtz, along with fellow honorees, will be presented with his award at a black tie gala on January 9th at the House of Blues in Los Angeles.
Gewirtz, who was featured in the Spring 2013 issue of LawNotes, oversees legal and business affairs for both the Nets and Barclays Center. Following graduation, Gewirtz joined the New York City offices of Dunnington, Bartholow & Miller, LLP, where he served as the associate to the then general counsel of the USTA, who was a partner at the firm. Since then, he has held one dream sports lawyer job after another, including in-house counsel for the WTA Tour, General Counsel for the LPGA Tour, sports, entertainment and media counsel in The Coca-Cola Company's Corporate Legal Division, Director of Legal Affairs for the International Olympic Committee's Television & Marketing Services division, and, most recently, the General Counsel and Chief Legal & Government Affairs Officer for the United States Olympic Committee.
"I am humbled and honored to have been selected by the Association of Media & Entertainment Counsel as the 2014 Sports Counsel of the Year," said Gewirtz. "Having had the opportunity, since 2007, to work as a lawyer for the first major professional sports team to grace the borough of Brooklyn since 1957 and for Barclays Center, as well as to work with our principal owners Mikhail Prokhhorov and Bruce Ratner, along with our CEO Brett Yormark, has truly been a labor of love."

MARIA USBECK SHARES "Nostalgia" SINGLE
Avery 2 min read
photo by Holland Brown
Maria Usbeck just shared "Nostalgia," the second single from her sophomore album Envejeciendo and follow up to the album's praised first single "Amor Anciano." Spanish for "aging," Envejeciendo is a concept album exploring the universal obsession with youth and our preoccupation with growing older, and available August 16 via Cascine.
Told with humor and tenderness, the album is an eccentric collection of dreamlike pop songs, sung in a mix of English and Spanish. The Ecuador-born, NYC-based musician tells Gorilla vs Bear, "Nostalgia is about the moment when you slowly start realizing that you miss everything that was around you at a certain point in life. The music, the people, all of it. Feeling more and more out of touch with what's currently popular."
Hear "Nostalgia" here
Today, Usbeck also announces her Album Release Show, set for Brooklyn's The Sultan Room at The Turk's Inn on Wednesday, September 4. More info and tickets can be found HERE.
The tracks on Envejeciendo are anchored in the Usbeck's personal experiences with adulthood. After recently forcing herself out of a depressive, aging-induced slump, Usbeck was determined to have fun with the subject matter. The album is peppered with personal anecdotes and nods to her firsthand fieldwork into the aging process.
Particularly moving are the samples of a recorded interview with Usbeck's late Ecuadorian grandmother, who speaks animatedly about her girlhood suitors and imagines what her life could have been had she married someone else. It's this tone of nostalgic joy, coexisting with curiosity for futures both impossible and unrealized, that runs throughout Envejeciendo. Pre-order the album here: https://ffm.to/envejeciendo.
For Usbeck, even cloudier subject matter like elderliness and death is rife with humor and optimism, evidenced in her buoyant brand of sunshine-dappled pop music. Flanked by drum machines and mirror-polished production, Usbeck imagines a futuristic version of retirement homes that are more like "really fun hotels," robot caretakers, and Brave New World-esque rejuvenation drugs.
Sonically, there are still ties to the Latin American textures of her childhood — the ones that informed her last album, the tropical bricolage Amparo — but here, those textures are filtered through the 80's synth pop and early 90's tech-house fixations of Usbeck's teenage years.
Born in Quito, Ecuador, she moved to the states at 17 to attend art school, and found herself fronting the new wave band Selebrities. But, after five years of singing in English, the polyglot decided to let her mother tongue speak. Amparo, Usbeck's 2016 Caroline Polacheck co-produced solo debut, was a return to her Latin American roots, sung almost entirely in Spanish, written and recorded across Ecuador, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Barcelona, Lisbon, Easter Island, Costa Rica, Florida, L.A. and her home in Brooklyn.

Book Review Mini Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
by Sarah Romano
SEARCH BOOKROOM REVIEWS on Bookshop
Mini Shopaholic, a novel by Sophie Kinsella, published as a Dial Press Hardcover on September 21, 2010, 432 pages.
Curling up with a Sophie Kinsella book is like having a good friend whom you haven't seen in years come to visit you, and the both of you laugh and laugh and laugh! Ms. Kinsella knows all too well the embarrassments of life, and what to do about them, which is mostly shopping as a remedy, of course! Unlike the rest of us (resigned to pragmatism), she has her protagonist
Becky Brandon shop and shop and shop and end up terrified by the bills, but somehow it always all turns out all right in the end!
This time Ms. Kinsella focuses on Becky's shopaholic-in-training, her two-year-old daughter, Minnie, and how Becky attempts to plan a surprise birthday party for her husband Luke, who usually doesn't even celebrate his birthday. Minnie is spoiled, or so everyone else implies (but mother Becky doesn't believe it). Minnie goes around grabbing everything, toy ponies, Santa's sled, and even all the handbags of her mother's friends, which she turns upside-down while screaming "Miiiiiiiiiine!!!!!!!!!", and Becky can't stop her.
Becky also has more intrigues going than ten thousand barrels of monkeys! Normal everyday events (planning Luke's party, evading a hired TV nanny, and going with her mother to the Pound Store – similar to American Dollar Stores) become sensational extravaganzas! Becky lies to cover up her "mistakes," has secrets, and she blunders her way through, like we all do (although perhaps we're not quite as dramatic about it as she is!). And her daughter Minnie has become a tad possessive, as she pulls ALL of her toys into bed with her each night, contentedly saying "Miiine."
I find Becky and Minnie's world believable, and because Ms. Kinsella has a great sense of humor, it's easy to get lost in it, like Alice going down the rabbit hole just to discover the wackiness of everyday life itself. Will Becky be able to unweave all the webs of lies she's woven? And come out ALIVE? We the readers are forever on the edge of our seats hoping that she does, and who cares if her stubborn little Minnie isn't the best-behaved child in the world? After all, she's only two! You will identify with and enjoy Ms. Kinsella's forays into motherhood and all it entails.
Most of the Kinsella Shopaholic books are tomes (as is this one, at 432 pages), but when you're immersed in them it feels like you've only been reading for a few moments when someone reminds you that a lot of time has gone by and dinner should be on the table. Will Becky get out of trouble – AGAIN? And – HOW? Usually she finally comes up with a clever solution! And is there even such a word as over-spending? Also, in the end, Mini Shopaholic is fun, fun away from the daily tedium of everyone's lives. I don't see how women got along without Ms. Kinsella's books before she started publishing them! If you need a safe and happy romp (no messy affairs to wring your hands over here), I urge you to indulge. You'll be glad that you did!

I love the Shopaholic series! They're light-hearted even though they involve debt, and Becky always manages to find a way out of her problems!
It's everyone's dream to be able to shop however much they want, without regard for money – or at least, with an excuse for spending. Must read this book!
This is a fantasy, since in the real world if you shop too much creditors (and your family) catch up with you. But it sounds like an enjoyable read!

Those are long at 432! You wouldnt think a book about shopping could last that long 🙂 Sounds fun, will have to find the series!

Washington County residents to choose fate of recycling plan
ddemille@thespectrum.com
Elected officials are leaving it up to residents to determine whether a proposed curbside recycling plan comes to fruition.
Under an agreement approved last week by the Washington County Solid Waste District board, local company Dixie Waste committed to providing weekly curbside pickup for between $2.94 and $3.82 per month for users who don't opt out of the program, with the price varying depending on how many choose to participate. In a separate agreement, the board also approved a deal with Rocky Mountain Recycling to process the material once it's collected.
"It's nice to get to this point, to know what the costs are going to be and be able to go from there," said St. George Mayor Jon Pike, who proposed such a service last year as a way to increase the lifespan of the county landfill and foster a more concerted effort at good stewardship for the land and the environment.
Representatives with the district still have to work on individual interlocal agreements with more than a dozen area governments, and each city and town, as well as the county, could cater their agreements to fit their particular demands. In addition, logistical measures are still needed, such as pickup schedules and the purchase of what could be more than 20,000 new bins.
Planners are hoping to have the service up and running by the start of 2016, but what the program looks like and exactly how much it will cost will fall upon the customers to decide.
Most area municipalities, including St. George, are planning to offer residents a chance to opt out of the program and avoid any increase to their current waste services bill, and the more residents who say no thanks, the more the program will cost for others. Under the agreement with Dixie Waste, it will take a 70 percent participation rate to trigger the $2.94-per-month cost. Anything between 50 percent and 70 percent will make the cost $3.82 per month.
If more than 50 percent of customers opt out, the program will not move forward.
"We're kind of letting people decide for themselves," Pike said, noting that preliminary analysis done so far suggest a participation rate somewhere between those 50 percent and 70 percent trigger points.
Based on analysis of other opt-out programs and Washington County's demographics, Larry Gibbons, director of business development with Rocky Mountain Recycling, said in a meeting with St. George officials in May that he expected the rate to be closer to 50 percent, although it would likely increase with time.
The Environmental Protection Agency reports that 65 percent of what is usually thrown in the trash could be recycled, but nationallyonly about 25 percent of that material actually makes its way through a recycling plant.
Washington County's current rate of recycling 3 percent of its waste could improve to roughly 10 percent with a curbside program, even if residents are given a chance to opt out of the program if they don't want to pay the fee, Gibbons said.
Elected leaders in some municipalities have indicated they would prefer making the program mandatory for their residents, including those in Springdale, Ivins and Santa Clara. Customers in those cities could see a slight discount — 20 cents less per month. In at least one other municipality, Apple Valley, elected leaders have said they would prefer not to participate in the program at all at this time. County officials have indicated that the service would also likely not come to the unincorporated parts of the county. Leaders from outlying Enterprise have also indicated their participation is unlikely.
The district's current recycling program, which involves "binnies" where residents can drop off recyclable items at various locations around the county, is expected to continue, although where the binnies are located and how often they are picked up could change depending on how the curbside program affects use.
The program, funded by a 50 cent-per-month fee on customers' bills, has seen a steady rise in use over the years, growing from 600 tons collected when the program started in 2008 to 1,725 tons last year, said Neil Schwendiman, solid waste district manager.

New Scientist promotions
Join us for a mind-blowing festival of ideas and experiences
Our award-winning festival, New Scientist Live is back to stimulate, challenge and inspire with some of today's biggest scientific discoveries and ideas.
Life 11 February 2022
From the fight against climate change and exploring the deep oceans to growing a supermassive black hole, our relationship with artificial intelligence and the mind's power to impact health and longevity, New Scientist Live is back to stimulate, challenge and inspire with some of today's biggest scientific discoveries and ideas.
Our award-winning festival will be held in Manchester for the first time from 12th to 14th March, with 14th March being a schools-only day. It will feature more than 40 acclaimed speakers across four stages, as well as over 30 exhibitors covering interactive workshops on flintknapping and immersive fireside Q&As, to name a few.
After the success of our virtual events during the pandemic, this year's New Scientist Live Manchester will incorporate a new hybrid format to allow each of its talks, activities and performances to be experienced in-person at the Manchester Central venue or virtually. The Engage Stage is our new hub that will bring together the live and online, featuring a roving camera for behind-the-scenes access. Talks will also be livestreamed and available on demand to attendees for 12 months after the event.
Some of this year's talk highlights taking place across the weekend include cutting-edge technologies that are opening new doors in human capability and materials design, the latest experiments that may have found entirely new forces of nature, and a rethink of how life began in the first place.
On the Brain and Body stage, Professor Daniel Davis from the University of Manchester will reveal how the latest advances in our understanding of the human body can lead to future technologies such as cognition-improving drugs and bespoke cancer predictions. If you want to learn how the scientific method could help you in everyday life, Professor Jim Al-Khalili, a science communicator and theoretical physicist at the University of Surrey, will be explaining how we can navigate some of the complexities and unpredictabilities of modern life by thinking more like a scientist.
See planetary scientist Dr Suzie Imber and science TV presenter Dallas Campbell over on The Universe stage as they draw on space technologies, missions and stories to provide a comprehensive guide to space travel. The teachings and mysteries of the solar system's ice giants – Neptune and Uranus – will be unravelled by Dr Leigh Fletcher from the University of Leicester, who will speak about the planned missions to explore these planets in the near future.
On the Earth stage, archaeologist Professor Penny Spikins from the University of York will explain what the archaeological record reveals about how to survive an ecological catastrophe, and how we can look to millions of years of evolution for clues in preventing one – today, an ever-pressing necessity. If you have ever wondered about life's origins, freelance science writer Michael Marshall will be on hand to unpick old theories and propose a rethink of what we previously thought we knew.
Meanwhile, recent advances in materials engineering, such as one-atom-thin graphene and two-dimensional voids, are the subject of Professor Radha Boya's talk on the Technology and Engineering stage. Dr Jess Wade, a research fellow at Imperial College, and structural engineer Roma Agrawal will also be delving into the fascinating world of nano and its applications.
This year's hybrid format opens the stimulating atmosphere and energy of New Scientist Live to a more global cohort of attendees to meet some of those shaping the world of science and technology, as well as to relive the festival at home. It is scheduled to return to London at the ExCeL Centre in October 2022.

The Monash Youth Music Festival, which was known as the Waverley Music Eisteddfod from 1979 to 2018, is an annual music festival held over two weeks in August in the City of Monash, Victoria, Australia. The Volunteer Committee runs around 40 music events, catering for a wide range of young musicians. The first Waverley Music and Dance Eisteddfod started in a very small way, but gradually expanded with new sections such as school choirs, vocal solos and instrumental competitions. The Waverley Music Eisteddfod grew to become a successful, prestigious and vibrant part of Melbourne's cultural calendar.
The Waverley Music Eisteddfod was established in 1978 by Councillor Howard Friee and his piano teacher wife, Frances..
Mr Howard Friee
L. Howard Friee JP served the City of Waverley dutifully as Councillor from 1971 until his tragic death in 1986.
L. Howard Friee JP served the City of Waverley as Mayor 1976-1977, and was a Councillor from 1971 until his tragic death in 1986. His love of music was displayed as a church organist. During that time, Howard with his piano teacher wife Frances, had a vision to give the city a premier music eisteddfod on par with those of the cities of Dandenong, Footscray, Mordialloc, Manningham, Hawthorn, Brighton and Ringwood.
Howard co-founded the Waverley Music and Dance Eisteddfod in 1978 with Frances. Howard and Frances worked tirelessly for an entire year, seeking sponsors and volunteers, and organising the competitions. Prizes in his name are still offered in a piano section and the Choral Excellence Award.
Upon Howard's death, his wife Frances continued on as President.
Mrs Frances Friee
Frances was a founding member of the Waverley Music and Dance Eisteddfod in 1978, which became Waverley Music Eisteddfod after 3 years. Upon the death of her husband, Howard, in 1986 (co-founder of the Eisteddfod) Frances became President for the next 21 years, retiring at the end of 2007 (29 years in all).
Her many artistic pursuits included studying voice, singing in the Church choir, and teaching piano. Encouraging young people in music with prizes in her name are still being offered to young pianists. Her skills in calligraphy were appreciated in the certificates presented.
A Memorial service to Frances' life was held at the Uniting Church, Mt Waverley, on 11 May 2019. She will be long remembered for her love of music and community involvement.
We have continued Howard and Frances Friee's vision to this day to offer one of the last remaining eisteddfods in Melbourne. To acknowledge the historical ties with our local Council and the continued support of the City of Monash, we changed our name to the Monash Youth Music Festival during our 40th anniversary year.
We honour the name of our founders, Cr Howard Friee and Mrs Frances Friee, by continuing the following awards:
The Howard Friee Award for Piano Solo (18 Years and Under)
The Howard Friee Memorial Trophy for Choral Excellence
The Frances Friee Piano Scholarship (12 to 14 years, one piece from the Baroque or Classical periods)
Mrs Jennifer (Jenny) Boyle
Mrs Jennifer Boyle was elected as Secretary of the Waverley Music Eisteddfod in 1981. She worked tirelessly in that capacity for the next 31 years, plus one year as Sponsorship Coordinator - a staggering 32 years in all. Her diligence and dedication was deeply appreciated by everyone.
Jenny's ability to structure and organise all the sections across the Eisteddfod was legendary, being able to draw up the intricate roster freehand, and from memory without missing a section!
In Mrs Jennifer Boyle's honour, we hold the annual Jennifer Boyle Memorial Award for the Vocal Solo, 15 years to 18 years, generously donated by the family of Mrs Jennifer Boyle.
Our Festival Patrons
Keith and Karolee Jones, long-time committee members of the Waverley Music Eisteddfod, have been honoured as patrons of the Monash Youth Music Festival.
Mrs Karolee Jones
Karolee started as a prospective committee member of the Eisteddfod in 1982, then joined the committee as Piano Registrar in 1983. Karolee held that position for the next 34 years. In that time she also acted as Secretary for two years.
Mr Keith Jones
Keith was a 'silent' worker for many years coordinating the Eisteddfod Schedule and Program, before joining the Committee in 2008, when he served as President for the next 3 years. Keith remained on the Committee for 10 years.
Their dedication and tireless service to the Waverley Music Eisteddfod was much appreciated, and to our delight, they have both rejoined the Committee, and are active members to this day!
Will you join us?
The Monash Youth Music Festival is run by the Waverley Music Eisteddfod Inc Committee, a committee of dedicated volunteers.
Do something for your community - why not join our Committee? It's fun and very rewarding. No experience is necessary at all, just a willingness to help.
Go on - contact us today to see how you can help!

Inevitable that Omicron variant will come to Pakistan, we have weeks to reduce its threat: Asad Umar
Dawn.com Published November 29, 2021
Federal Planning Minister Asad Umar (L) and SAPM Dr Faisal Sultan address a press conference. — DawnNewsTV
Federal Planning Minister Asad Umar warned on Monday that the latest concerning variant of the coronavirus, Omicron, will inevitably come to Pakistan and the country had only a few weeks to contain its threat.
Addressing a press conference alongside Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Health Dr Faisal Sultan, Umar stressed the need for citizens to get vaccinated and complete their doses.
"This [strain] has to spread in the whole world as we saw before that when a variant comes, the world is so interconnected that it is impossible to stop it," the minister said, adding that vaccination was the most logical solution to curb the threat.
Explainer: All we know about new Covid-19 variant Omicron
He said the initial information the government had received was that although Omicron was a "very dangerous" variant, vaccination will be effective against it.
"So it is my appeal to Pakistanis, particularly those who've gotten one dose to get the second dose because this is one effective thing we have to protect ourselves from the danger of this variant," Umar said.
He noted that a big vaccination campaign was being started in the provinces in the next 2-3 days, saying there was a need to speed it up further. "This variant will come to Pakistan, and we have next 2-3 weeks to reduce its threat."
In view of the variant, Umar said additional measures were being taken such as increasing the number of daily tests — particularly in high-risk areas — which had previously been reduced as the positivity rate declined.
He added that the contact-tracing system would be revived as well and emphasised the need to "rejuvenate" it with more resources and increased efficiency.
Additionally, consultation will be completed by Tuesday on administering booster shots to the population most at risk from the coronavirus, he said.
A day earlier, the Sindh health department had decided to inoculate all residents with a booster shot of Pfizer keeping in view the increased risk of transmission and re-infection posed by Omicron.
Umar also said that restrictions had been placed on travellers coming from abroad and further measures would be taken to delay the variant's entry into the country.
Providing updates on the vaccination campaign so far, the minister said 50 million Pakistanis had been completely vaccinated, while 30m had been administered one dose.
Meanwhile, Dr Sultan explained why the new variant was being treated as a "variant of concern", saying it was "clear it is spreading faster compared to previous variants".
The danger this posed, he said, was of increased pressure on the healthcare system that could potentially lead to a shortage of beds and other medical services.
Sultan said an analysis of the variant's genetic makeup had shown numerous mutations. "It seems there are mutations in certain areas of the [virus] that have the potential of making it more dangerous or transmissible," he added.
Like Umar, the SAPM emphasised that despite restrictions and limitations in place, it was very difficult and "nearly impossible" to stop the variant's entry into the country due to the interconnected nature of the world.
Sultan also stressed the need to increase vaccinations to cover the unvaccinated sections of the population.
On Saturday, Pakistan had placed a complete ban on travel from six south African countries — South Africa, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique, Botswana and Namibia — and Hong Kong in the wake of the variant's discovery.
The National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) said that travel from the aforesaid countries to Pakistan would be allowed "on extreme emergency", provided that the travellers obtained the required exemptions and followed the necessary health and testing protocols.
The NCOC also directed the Aviation Division, airport management, and the Airport Security Force to devise a mechanism for screening passengers travelling from the banned countries via indirect flights and share its details with all relevant departments by November 29.
The Omicron scare
The NCOC's decision to ban travel from the African nations followed similar decisions by a host of other countries wary of the spread of Omicron, which the World Health Organisation (WHO) has classified as a "highly transmissible" variant of concern — the same category that includes the predominant Delta variant, which is still a scourge driving higher cases of sickness and death in Europe and parts of the US.
The new variant was first detected in South Africa last week, with scientists holding it responsible for a recent spike in Covid-19 infections in Gauteng, the country's most populous province.
The discovery of the strain sent a chill through much of the world on Friday as nations raced to halt air travel, markets fell sharply and scientists held emergency meetings to weigh the exact risks, which were largely unknown.
The United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Russia, European Union nations and a host of other countries have restricted travel for visitors from southern Africa.
However, medical experts and bodies, including the WHO, have warned against any overreaction before the variant is better understood.

So, this will be Wave-5 of the horrible Pandemic?
A state whose political and economic system has become so weak that the government is no longer in control, is called a failed state. And, we are a multiple failed state.

2019 Mazda CX-8 Asaki review
Car Reviews, Mazda, Mazda reviews, Medium SUV | January 17, 2019 | by Mitchell Jones
To say the medium SUV marketplace is crowded would be an understatement. Mazda's dominance of said segment, however is unquestionable, with the CX-5 remaining the clear sales champion for a number of years now. That formula of sporty styling and dynamics, Japanese reliability and just-the-right size has paid dividends.
Recently, however, rivals such as the Honda CR-V, Nissan X-Trail have joined the Mitsubishi Outlander in offering a 7-seater option. While this hasn't put a dent in the CX-5's dominance, buying a 7-seat Mazda SUV meant going into the next segment up for the CX-9 – until now, that is.
Mazda has concocted a 'best of both worlds' formula in the CX-8- a car that starts with the CX-5 as its base- sharing dimensions such as width, but adding the CX-9's 2930mm wheelbase for more room between the wheel arches. For those wondering, the CX-8 is 4900mm long, 1840mm wide and 1725mm tall.
To further justify its existence, the CX-8 is, for now, a diesel-only proposition (although a petrol version just became available in Japan). We took the top-of-the-range $61,490 (before on-roads) CX-8 Asaki on a family holiday to see if it really is the 'Goldilocks' SUV in terms of size, or if it is compromised compared to a large SUV such as the CX-9.
2019 Mazda CX-8 Asaki Review: Cabin Space and Comfort
Straight off the bat, we're onto the most important part. For our holiday, we loaded four adults and two children, including child seats into the car. Being a Christmas trip, this was also a great opporunity to test the CX-8's present-swallowing ability. Luggage capacity ranges from 209 litres with all three rows in play, to 742L with the third row stowed. This compares with 230L and 810L respectively for the larger CX-9, but an extra storage cavity expands space to 242L.
With all seven seats in play, we might've struggled to carry our luggage, but with six occupants, the versatility of the CX-8 was outstanding.
CX-8's Nappa leather seats look and feel delightfully upmarket, with excellent support for all occupants over the 6 hour journey- even one who had back problems. Another bonus was the second row seats which slid fore and aft, meaning that an average-sized adult was able to fit in the third row. Furthermore, access to the third row is gained easily, with no clumsy mechanism to grapple with, as you would find in a Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, for example. Furthermore, the power-assisted tailgate with soft close was another impressive addition.
In this critical area, the CX-8 exceeded our expectations comfortably.
2019 Mazda CX-8 Asaki Review: Infotainment and Ergonomics
In terms of interior theme, CX-8 follows other models in Mazda's lineup with sweeping horitontal lines, semi-binnacle instrument cluster and angled transmission tunnel with the brand's MZD Connect system. The 7.0-inch touch screen it operates may be smaller than some in its class, but doesn't want for clarity and ease of operation. Having said that, the navigation was slow to react to route changes at times, and the overall unit we would class as good, rather than class best. At least Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available now, though.
Ergonomically, the CX-8 is sound, with the high transmission tunnel and its array of controls- including radio volume knob- intuitively arranged. Climate control knobs can be adjusted by the driver without looking away from the road, while the range of seat adjustments ensured there were no complaints from any of the occupants throughout the journey. The heads-up display (HUD) ensured that the driver's gaze seldom wandered from the road ahead, and we're glad Mazda has dispensed with the pop-up plastic unit of yore.
2019 Mazda CX-8 Asaki Review: Design
Upon first glance, CX-8 is unmistakably Mazda – especially in the company's signature Soul Red Crystal colour. Similaritires with the CX-5 and CX-9 are unmistakable, with a side-by-side comparison required to distinguish them. That's not a bad thing, though as Australians have resoundingly embraced Mazda's Kodo design language, if the sales figures are any indication.
Some might say that the combination of CX-5's width plus more heigh and wheelbase makes the CX-8 look a bit awkward and gangly, but we say it gives the car character.
High quality interior materials are what we've come to expect from a modern Mazda and the CX-8 doesn't disappoint. The Nappa leather from the seats spreads to the door trims and dash, contrasting neatly with soft-touch black trim and chrome highlights. The interior is premium enough to justify every cent of its price tag.
2019 Mazda CX-8 Asaki Review: Engine and Performance
Like the CX-5 diesel, CX-8 is equipped with a 2.2-litre twin-turbo diesel four-cylinder, developing 140kW at 4500rpm and 450Nm from as low as 2000rpm. Thanks to a low compression (for a diesel) of 14.4:1, the car has a distinctly petrol-like character, revving cleanly beyond 5000rpm. Futhermore, we did not hear a trace of clatter for the whole week we had the car. This engine is truly a gem, with the only criticism being dull off-the-mark response.
Quoted performance figures include a 0-100km/h time of 9.6 seconds, which is impressive when you consider the CX-8 Asaki's 1957kg kerb mass is only 16kg shy of big bro CX-9.
2019 Mazda CX-8 Asaki Review: Transmission
The sole gearbox on offer is a six speed auto, with a sports mode oriented for sporty driving ( down for +, up for -), but no paddles here. Our trip included a vast array of traffic conditions, gradients and altitude changes that would be sufficient to test the transmission's logic, and not once did it hunt or feel like it was in the wrong gear. While many rivals are moving to eight-speed-or-more units, the CX-8 makes a compelling argument that less is more.
2019 Mazda CX-8 Asaki Review:Handling and Steering
Let's face it, 1957kg of three-row medium SUV is never going to feel like an MX-5, but the CX-8 never feels cumbersome. The centre-of-gravity feels lower than its tall-and-narrow proportions suggest, while suspension geometry strikes a fine balance between body control and ride (see below).
The steering possesses a quick enough ratio to make the car feel a class smaller, without feeling jittery or nervous like some poorly calibrated setups (we're looking at you, Holden Trax). CX-8's electric power steering system (EPS) transmits as much feedback as possible with this kind of setup, but we would stop short of calling it organic. Another fine chassis from Mazda,
2019 Mazda CX-8 Asaki Review: Ride and NVH
Despite the tauter suspension tune that typically makes Mazdas sporty to drive, the CX-8 had plenty of suspension travel, so was able to absorb potholes and sharp corrugations in the road. Even noise over coarse chip tarmac was impressive, so Mazda have learned some lessons in the NVH department. Testament to their efforts, most occupants were asleep for the duration of our trip. Sun-blocking window shades certainly helped augment the CX-8's inner tranquility.
2019 Mazda CX-8 Asaki Review: Fuel economy and running costs
The quoted figure of 6.0L/100km is achievable on the open road – we saw 6.6L/100km, affected in no small part by the Blue Mountains climb, but around town, expect the figure closer to 9.0L/100km. We found ourselves switching the auto-stop system off, as it was too slow for our ever-eager traffic light launches. If you don't mind letting cars ahead at the lights, leave it on and enjoy the incremental fuel savings. The entry-level, front-drive CX-8 Sport is over 100kg lighter, so has a lower fuel consumption rating of 5.7L/100km.
As far as servicing goes, intervals are 10,000km and vary between $322 and $390 for the first five visits.
2019 Mazda CX-8 Asaki Review: Safety
As you'd expect a 5 star ANCAP rating is par for the course, but the CX-8 also comes stacked with active safety features too. These include a handy surround-view camera with a birds-eye projection of the car, radar cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, lane keep assistance, traffic sign recognition, rear cross-traffic alert and auto high beam. To us, none of these features felt obtrusive, only helpful and when they did intervene, it was subtle and most welcome. Other car makers should take note : this is how you balance semi-autonomous driving aids without sacrificing driver enjoyment.
2019 Mazda CX-8 Asaki Review:Value for Money
But for seat cooling and maybe a panoramic roof, the CX-8 Asaki doesn't want for much, so represents pretty good value in our eyes. If you are looking at other models, such as the entry-level CX-8 Sport, an entry price of $42,490 (before on-road costs) might not be on the budget end of the spectrum, but considering the depth of engineering and quality, still represents good value in our opinion.
2019 Mazda CX-8 Asaki Review: Conclusion
This is a car that was put to the ultimate test- a holiday with a sizable family on board and it passed with flying colours. While it might not have the outright versatility of its larger brother, it is close enough where you would feel adequately catered to in most situations. Mazda has obviously structured its lineup carefully, so as not to tread on CX-5 or CX-9's toes, but an entry-level petrol CX-8 Sport below $40,000 would be a worthwhile addition, we think- especially since Honda is considering spreading the 7-seater option to other models in its CR-V range.

Essays on Contemporary Events: The Psychology of Nazism. with a New Forward by Andrew Samuels


"I wish today were Friday 'cause that's my day off," said Brad Robinson, gloomily, as he watched the aerial lift being loaded onto a flat bed tow truck while the yellow trailer it had until three hours earlier been riding on remained in the middle of Congress Street – at the corner of the Eastern Promenade. As truck driver Brad turned the corner onto Congress Street, the lift and trailer toppled over together onto the street. No one was injured. The accident occurred around 8:30 a.m. today according to Brad.
The skinny Brad said he'd loaded the aerial lift onto the trailer on North Street on the Hill where it had just finished a job. That was around 7:00 this morning. He was driving it to Saco for another job when the accident occurred. The youngish Brad who is a ten year licensed truck driver with no criminal record works for Lawrence Ryea Construction Co. in Saco.
According to State Policeman Charles Granger the aerial lift was not loaded properly on the trailer. And the brakes on the trailer didn't work at all. Five safety chains are required by law to secure the load on the trailer and Brad admitted that he had attached only two of the safety chains this morning on North Street – in violation of the law. The construction company is responsible for the brake failure.


Actions: Kills parasites (particularly roundworms); eliminates food retention; strengthens the spleen; dissolves accumulations.
• Roundworms or malnutrition in children due to improper diet, weak constitution: abdominal distention, poor appetite. If roundworms are severe, this herb can be combined with Bing lang.
• To reduce the herb's toxicity, dry fry it until it is aromatic.
• Traditionally, this herb is not to be taken with hot tea (may lead to diarrhea and belching).
Liu: One piece per day for no more than 20 days (may discontinue for a week and then resume administration).
Bensky and Gamble: 1 piece per year of age, per day, not to exceed 20 pieces per day.
Li: No more than 12 pieces per day.
"The three most common types of worms found in the body are: the thread or seat worms (Oxyuris vermicularis), the round worms (Ascaris lumbricoides-lumbrici), and the tape worms (Taeince-Taenia solium, bothriocephalus latus). There are also other less-common worm types that enter the body, such as hook worms for which thymol [from essential oil of Thyme] and oil of Chenopodium duodenale (American Wormseed) are specifics, and those of unclean pork, etc., which thrive on toxic conditions in the body.
The thread or seat worm is rather easily destroyed or expelled because it is usually found in the lower bowel and does not adhere to the intestinal wall. Herbs such as cathartics, astringents, Aloes, Quassia, Calumba, apple cider vinegar, etc., are effective against these intestinal vermin.
The roundworm is most likely to be found in and often clinging to the intestinal wall, and can cause considerable harm and physical discomfort, especially to children. If roundworms are not checked, they may increase to the point that they enter the stomach, and even travel up the esophagus to the pharynx, with most unpleasant and upsetting results. You can see roundworms in the stools, and you can also know you have them because they greatly disturb the balance of the stomach. The anthelmintic herbs are particularly useful and beneficial to eliminate roundworms and tapeworms. The anthelmintic agents are classed as to their action against the worm parasites: Vermifuges cause the expulsion of worms from the body. Vermicides kill worms in the body. Taeniafuges cause the expulsion of tapeworms from the body. Taeniacides kill tapeworms in the body.
1. Go on a three day cleanse/fast drinking only one type of juice and distilled water and take the anthelmintic morning and night, preferably with Wormwood.
2. On the morning of the fourth day, drink 6-8 ounces of Senna [Fan xie ye] tea alone to cleanse and purge the bowel of the parasites (other suitable cathartics are also acceptable).
The tapeworm is somewhat more obstinate, but the foregoing procedure will also work, using Male Fern [Guan zhong] or Pomegranate [Shi Liu Pi, Shi Liu Gen Pi] as the anthelmintic. Continue taking the remedy a few days after the worm sections have ceased to pass, and use Lobelia along with an antibilious cathartic.


Prefixes are key morphemes in English vocabulary that begin words. The prefix pre-, which means "before," appears in numerous English vocabulary words, for example: predict, prevent, and prefix! An easy way to remember that the prefix pre- means "before" is through the word prevent, for when you come "before" something else to stop it from happening, you prevent it.
Prefatory remarks are those "relating to speaking, talking, or saying" something "before or in front of" a book or speech to serve as an opening or introduction.
An unprecedented event has the "particular state of not having gone before," that is, it has never happened.
Today we will focus on the prefix pre-, which means "before." Prefixes are morphemes which begin words, attaching to a word's main part, or root, adding to the meaning of the word in some way. The word prefix itself has the prefix pre- in it. A prefix is an affix which is fastened or fixed "before" the primary root or stem of a word.
When you try to prevent something, you come "before" it to put a halt to it, thereby keeping it from happening. Someone who is being precise cuts off all inaccuracies "beforehand" to keep only the exact facts. If you're filled with prejudice towards a particular person, you have judged her "before" knowing her full story.
Sometimes it's hard for voters to know for whom they will prefer to vote, or which candidate they will carry "before" others when it comes to casting their ballot. It can be a hard choice to know for whom to vote for president, or that person who sits "before" us all governing the country.
Hopefully this preview of the prefix pre- will lead towards precision "before" seeing any words with pre- in them!
The Latin root word vent of prevent.
The Latin root word cis of precise and imprecise.
A spelling variant of the Latin root words vid and vis of preview.
The Latin root word dict of predict.
The Latin root word fer of prefer.
The Latin root word sid of president.

Siesta Chamber seeking three amendments to Siesta Key Overlay Zoning District regulations
Published on September 30, 2019 September 30, 2019 by ebstein
By Rachel Brown Hackney
SarasotaNewsLeader.com
The Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce has asked the Sarasota County Commission to consider three amendments to the county's Unified Development Code "as [the latter] applies to the Siesta Key Overlay District."
In an Aug. 16 letter to Zoning Administrator Donna Thompson, Siesta architect and long-time Siesta Chamber Director Mark Smith explained each of the proposed amendments. During the Chamber's Aug. 21 quarterly meeting for members, he said he believed two of the three cases entailed oversights that occurred when the Siesta Key Overlay District (SKOD) was being drafted.
The first of those involves Section 4.10.4, which says, "Accessory structures shall not exceed the height of the principal structure." That regulation did not take into account the need for new buildings on the Key to conform to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) floodplain restrictions, Smith noted during the Chamber meeting.
The narrative in the letter regarding the proposed amendment points out, "All of Siesta Key is in a FEMA Flood Zone. All new structures are required to be built to meet the FEMA Base Flood Elevation."
As the SKOD section is written, Smith told the Chamber members on Aug. 21, a '70s ranch house constructed at grade cannot have an accessory dwelling unit, because the latter could not be taller than the house.
The Chamber letter described the situation this way: "[I]t is impossible to build to the required higher FEMA elevation and keep the roof height below the height of the principal structure."
Thus, the amendment, as proposed, would read, "Accessory structures shall not exceed the height restrictions for the principal structure."
The other section where Smith believes the final language was an oversight prohibits upper-story residential units in districts zoned Office, Professional and Institutional (OPI) and Commercial General (CG). Such dwellings are permitted everywhere else in the county in those districts, Smith said on Aug. 21. "Upper-story residential is all part of the nature of a commercial district."
Smith pointed out that if the owner of a restaurant, for example, lived above the establishment, the owner would have a much greater sense of the need for compliance with the county's Noise Ordinance when bands are playing.
People living above shops and restaurants also would mean "more eyes on the street for crime," Smith noted.
"It just makes sense," Smith added. "I'm not sure why [the upper-story residential provision] was excluded …"
The narrative in the Aug. 16 Chamber letter regarding that proposed SKOD change also points out, "To live above your place of business or have employees live above where they work eliminates commuting …"
The proposed new SKOD language calls for live-work and upper-story residential uses in the OPI, CG and Commercial Intensive (CI) districts to be allowed when the SKOD parking requirements can be met.
Finally, the third proposed amendment would allow the use of sandwich or A-frame-style directional signs "for parking and valet. Such signs shall not contain any commercial advertising."
The narrative accompanying that proposal points out, "Parking is at a premium on Siesta Key. Visitors to Siesta Key need help finding both parking spaces and valets. These signs would be an aid in navigation and a public service to help get drivers off the road and safely parked. There are plenty of 'No Parking' signs on Siesta Key. We need positive signs that help visitors."
The Unified Development Code, which went into effect the first of this year, combines the county's land use and zoning regulations. County Planning and Development Services Department staff has established a schedule for privately initiated amendments to be submitted to staff for consideration.

Having Downton Abbey withdrawal? Of course you are. We all are. Thankfully, we've got a particularly fabulous tidbit to help get us through the (seemingly endless) wait for Series 5.
The Television Academy of Arts & Sciences hosted a special event for its members in Los Angeles on May 3rd which featured appearances by several members of the Downton cast and crew and was streamed live over the internet as it happened. Part Series 4 retrospective, part general show discussion, there's plenty of fun here for all who love the megahit costume drama.
Stars Joanne Froggatt, Phyllis Logan, Sophie McShera and Robert James-Collier all took part, along with series creator Julian Fellowes and executive producer Gareth Naeme. It was actually pretty fun to watch some members of the cast who may not get in front of the media as frequently get the chance to shine. McShera, for example, is completely adorable, and I promise you'll be so charmed by James-Collier that you'll basically forget how much you hate Thomas.
Cumberbatch sat down for an in-depth Q&A session with The Hollywood Reporter's Scott Fienbeg last week, to discuss all manner of topics. His appearance served as the kick-off for a new series called "In Conversation," a forum sponsored by BAFTA New York and The Hollywood Reporter, intended to provide artists with an outlet through which to discuss the creative process in depth.
This inaugural "Conversation" was held in front of a live audience comprised of BAFTA members and journalists last week in New York at The Standard High Line hotel. The event was recorded and THR released a full version of the event this weekend.

Masterpiece executive producer Rebecca Eaton sat down with Downton Abbey stars Hugh Bonneville, Jim Carter, Rob James-Collier, Joanne Froggatt, Sophie McShera, as well as producer Gareth Neame and moderated a panel featuring many questions from a (very excited) audience on a variety of topics. There are a few tidbits here and there about things we can expect to see in Series 3, as well as some very interesting insights into several beloved characters.

Another shameful, racist performance by right wing conservative Republicans. So much for their proclamations of religious righteousness, truthfulness and honesty. Do they understand what is genuinely evil?

Peter sits on a stool at a table, hunched over the remains of his meagre breakfast. He is wearing worn out overalls and a frayed straw hat.
PETER: Nothing's been the same since my brother was drafted. The letter came from nowhere. I don't know where he is or what he is doing. Heck, I don't even know if he's still alive. He always did say if he went out, he'd go like a warrior. He didn't have no sympathy for them fancy men with slicked back hair and glowing teeth who'd die of nothing more than plain laziness. If they'da got out more, they'da probably not kicked the bucket so easy. A good day's work is what saves a man, that's what Bill said. Now he's off to war and I'm still here, tending to the farm. It gets lonely down here sometimes, even with the help I've hired since Bill left. It's nice on the weekends though when Delilah comes down. Bill never did like her, though I can't think why. He'da never been caught dead with a little city girl. But Delilah's different from most city folk. She really gets me and she'd be willing to work on the farm if I needed her to. She told me so. But I couldn't let a pretty little gal like her do all that heavy labor. No, that's a man's job. Too bad it's only Wednesday. I've gotta wait another couple of days for the weekend.
DELILAH: From offstage. Hello? Pete, are you home?
PETER: Aside. Well, speaking of the devil. I wonder what she's doing home so soon. To Delilah. I'm in the kitchen, hon'. I'd offer you breakfast, but I just finished up.
Delilah enters. She wears a scarf, a coat, and a pair of gloves.
DELILAH: Oh, that's fine. I cannot believe how cold it is outside.
PETER: It's only gonna get colder, I'm afraid. It's only November.
DELILAH: Wow. Winter must be early this year.
PETER: I hope not. I've still gotta finish the harvest.
Delilah pulls a stool up to the table and sits.
DELILAH: How've you been, Pete?
PETER: Well, it's been a rough time, what with harvest and Bill off to die like a warrior. I'm just glad I've got you. It makes everything so much easier. How have you been?
DELILAH: I've been good. I booked an art show last week and about two dozen people came and quite a few bought paintings.
PETER: That's great! I know how much your work means to you and you do it so well.
DELILAH: Good. You'll understand then.
DELILAH: Looks down and draws circles on the table. I got accepted into art school.
PETER: That's great! I'm so happy for you.
DELILAH: But I won't be able to come down on weekends anymore.
PETER: Oh. You got class on weekends?
DELILAH: No. But I can't afford to come see you every weekend. And I realized something. If I'm not willing to sacrifice art school for our relationship, then it can't be worth that much to me. I love you Peter, I hope you know that, but I don't think it's going to work out.
PETER: But we can make it work. I can come to see you sometimes too. Or I could sell the farm and move up there with you and find another job.
DELILAH: I don't want to ask that of you Peter. You've been a farmer your whole life. What else would you do? Besides, I wouldn't feel right asking you to sacrifice your life for me when I can't do the same for you.
PETER: I just want to make you happy.
DELILAH: I don't think either of us can be happy like this.
I'm sorry, Peter. I have to go now.
Delilah leaves the stage and Peter walks out the door to his farm. Everything is covered in ice.
PETER: I'm a ruined man. My brother is probably dead, my fiancée doesn't want me anymore, and the farm is frozen over. It's gonna be a long, cold, merciless winter and I'll be alone with not much to live on. The harvest is ruined. I can feel the frost taking over my heart now too. This is my end.
Hello! c: Cat here to review your piece.
First off, the whole structure is great; it fits all my mental script checks (though I am absolutely no expert) and overall is very similar to all the scripts I've read. The descriptions of certain things do feel off and forced? I don't know why, but they don't seem to fit in the italics of normal stage descriptions. I think some of them need to be in different places, like when Delilah stands up, I think maybe it should be in parentheses after her line (and then maybe put her next line right after that instead of on a new line).
The whole of the story feels kinda awkward and forced. The dialogue doesn't feel natural. I understand that really the only way to show certain things in a script is by dialogue, but it feels scripted and unnatural.
Peter's monologue in the beginning is a chunk. I feel like he's trying to be a narrator, explaining everything in this situation before anything actually happens. I also feels void of feeling.
I cannot say enough about this!! I loved it so much, and everything was done so well. I especially appreciated how you made the linguistics realistic, without going overboard. It's a really hard thing to balance, but you hit it spot on. I also like how you used winter/the frost to symbolize loneliness and heartbreak. It was a nice touch.
On the first read, I didn't really get that the harvest had been ruined too, which was just another nail in Peter's coffin. Maybe it's just me, but is there a way you could make that a bit more clear?
On another note, I feel like Delilah's behaviors were a little underdeveloped. I think that it might work better if you showed some more of her nervous energy when she first walks in. You do kind of show this later on, when she's drawing circles onto the table, but if you did something earlier, in addition, it would really bring it out and add suspense.


PA finally deciding to stop bankrolling Hamas?
The Palestinian Authority has apparently decided to stop paying for Gaza infrastructure as it has been. It will announce at the end of the Fatah conference that it will only send salaries to the 77,000 workers in Gaza who do no work.
"Anonymous" claims to have hacked Mossad. Um, not quite.

A mother's sacrifice: Child dropped from the 10th floor in London tower fire...
The baby was caught, but others were not so lucky...
Just this week, we heard of a raging inferno that engulfed the 24-storey-tall Grenfell Tower in North Kensington, London. The images and stories related to the fire that are flooding in are mostly chilling, and reminiscent of the New York 9/11 tragedy.
The fire, according to the BBC, broke out shortly after midnight on Tuesday. Hundreds of people were in the tower at the time the fire started, with most of them asleep.
So far, 12 people have been confirmed dead in the tragedy, with 64 people injured and 18 in critical care, according to latest reports. However, many are still unaccounted for and search and rescue operations continue.
Eyewitness have described the chaos that occurred as a result of the fire, with those trapped in the building screaming for help and even throwing their children out of windows in utter desperation.
Among the many, many stories that are crowding our news-feeds, this one caught our eye.
Baby thrown from 10th floor
Samira Lamrani was a witness to the fire that fateful night in London. She is quoted by The Telegraph as saying she saw a woman on the ninth or tenth floor of the blazing building throwing her baby out of the window to members of the public below.
The incredibly lucky baby was caught by a quick-thinking man and saved. It is not known if the mother escaped.
"People were starting to appear at the windows, frantically banging and screaming," said Lamrani. She explained that the windows in the apartment the mother was in were slightly open, and she was signalling to people below that she was about to throw her baby out and for someone to catch the child.
"Somebody did, a gentleman ran forward and managed to grab the baby," she said.
"I could see people from all angles, banging and screaming for help. Members of the public were reassuring them. We told them them we've done what we can and that we've phoned 999, but obviously the look on their face was death," Lamrani further explained, according to the news report.
twitter.com/Telegraph/status/874973328188092416
More children thrown
Another resident, called Zara, has described seeing a woman throw her son - who looked to be about five years old - from the fifth or sixth floow window, in order to save him from the fire. said she saw a woman throw her son, who was about five years old, from a fifth or sixth floor window to escape the blaze.
"One woman actually threw her son out of the window. I think he's OK", she said. "I think he might have just had some broken bones and bruises."
Not so lucky
While these two little ones certainly seemed to have guardian angels watching over them, others were not so lucky. Other news reports mention another mum, who lived on the 21st floor of the tower, racing down as fast as she could with all six of her children.
But by the time she got to the bottom, only four of her little ones were with her. An eyewitness is quoted as saying, "she can't find two of her children anywhere. She's in a community centre absolutely breaking her heart.'
What caused the blaze?
According to The Guardian, experts suspect the cladding used in the building might have contributed to the fire. The tower, which was built in 1974, recently underwent a major refurbishment. Investigations are continuing into the cause.
We at theAsianparent offer our heartfelt condolences to all those affected by the blaze. If you have loved ones or friends in London who you are concerned for, here's a helpline that you can contact: (+44) 0800 0961 233.

Episode 45 of the National Security Law Podcast: An Inter-Jurisdictional Cluster-You-Know-What?
by Steve Vladeck
Al-Nashiri, Detention, Foreign Agents Registration Act, Guantanamo, Military justice, Mueller investigation, National Security Law Podcast, Robert Mueller, Russia Investigation, Special Counsel Mueller
Has it only been a week? Yeesh. Well, we are back! In this episode, Bobby Chesney and I focus on three topics:
The Mueller investigation and the prospect that Mike Flynn may be charged under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
The increasingly-complex saga of the withdrawn defense lawyers in the al-Nashiri military commission case at GTMO. Habeas petitions are sprouting all over the place, and the procedural complexity of the situation is growing by the day.
An interesting legal and policy question is lurking out there: The use of the "hybrid model" (that is, military capture and initial interrogation, followed by long-term disposition via the civilian criminal justice system) in the Mustafa al-Imam case generated no complaints from the right, whereas the decision to use the civilian criminal justice system for Saipov certainly did. This highlights the fact that we have a comparatively stable system blending military and criminal law enforcement tools for overseas captures, but no analogue domestically. Yet there is a statute, from the USA Patriot Act in 2001 no less, that arguably could function as the domestic equivalent to the "slow boat" that undergirds the overseas-capture hybrid-model scenario. Will it ever be used, and if so what might a constitutional challenge look like?
With that out of the way, your intrepid hosts wrap up with a debate over the greatest comedy films of all time. What's your top three? Let us know on Twitter: @nslpodcast
And, hey, while you are online, go ahead and give us a review!

What do you currently have in place?
Are you offering your employees the opportunity to contribute to a pension scheme? Do you have a Group Personal Pension (GPP), an Occupational Pension Scheme or a Group Stakeholder Pension in place?
Does it meet the requirements for Auto Enrolment ?
By April 2017 all employers are expected to have all employees, who meet the requirements, auto-enrolled into a suitable pension scheme unless they have opted-out. The minimum contribution that needs to be met by October 2018 will be 8% of earning between £5668 and £41450 with a minimum of 3% being paid by the employer.
Have you had an annual review of your employee pension scheme to ensure all employees' contributions meet current requirements and salary?
How are the members communicated with and at what cost?
Have you considered the administrative costs of updating your employees on their opt in or opt out and their pension updates every year? Have you consider the most efficient way for this to be done in your business?

Q: Xcode 9 - Fix all in Scope greyed out With Xcode 8 the errors could be fixed using the "Fix all in Scope", but in the latest Xcode 9 that option is always greyed out. Do you have an idea if I have to set up something or if it's just a bug?

The Xcode I'm using is the App Store version, build number 9A235, so it's not a beta.

A: Usually it helps to clean "derived data", the project and to restart your mac. Feels like Windows but I have good experiences with this kind of bugs.
Navigate to the deived data folder in Finder. For this open tab Locations in XCode Settings where you will find a link. Delete all data within derived data folder. (No worry - it will be restored by XCode)

A: look for and select the page you have error and there is the word fix

and go Editor  >>>> Fix All Issues

Here's what the front pages say about the Cabinet reshuffle (Smriti Irani is still the favourite)
A look at the headlines of India's major newspapers on Wednesday.
Jul 06, 2016 · 12:41 pm
Tuesday was tough for newspaper editors. As the line-ups of Wednesday's editions were being finalised, details started to trickle in about the portfolios that had been allocated to the new and existing ministers in the Union Cabinet after the reshuffle that had taken place on Tuesday afternoon. While, most editorials had already been finalised, the portfolio announcements made sure that everything from the front pages to the unsigned editorials needed to be redone.
Bummer! What was meant to be humdrum expansion turned out 2b a big reshuffle #CabinetReshuffle Means all edit lines written so far trash now

Sadly, that's also the moral for journalists! Don't write an edit based on #CabinetReshuffle at 11am, wait till 11pm https://t.co/uAyuO2gQCV
Wednesday morning headlines in major dailies were a mix of sarcasm and shock. Smriti Irani's fate emerged as the focus for headline writers and front page editors, who used puns and wordplay to highlight at the fact that she had been shunted out from the ministry of human resource development and allocated charge of textiles instead.
The Hindi press also applauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision to give the high-profile HRD portfolio to Prakash Javadekar, moving him out of the ministry of environment. The business press, meanwhile, claimed that the rejig was basically a combination of performance appraisal and politicking by the Bharatiya Janata Party as it gears for next year's elections in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh.
This is perhaps why we have 19 new faces in the Cabinet, which has grown to 79 members.
Here's a look at how some major papers played the news.
