The Real Story of the Huge Chunk of Cheese That Sat in the White House for a Year
By Noah Kaufman
© DeAgostini/Getty Images
"Andrew Jackson, in the main foyer of the White House, had a two-ton block of cheese. It was there, for any and all who were hungry, it was there for the voiceless." Those words came from fictional White House chief of staff Leo McGarry on season two of The West Wing. They also, in part, served as the inspiration for the very real Big Block of Cheese Day currently going at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, during which administration higher-ups like Vice President Joe Biden, First Lady Michelle Obama and nonfictional chief of staff Dennis McDonough will answer questions from The People about whatever is on their minds. At this point the amount of actual cheese eating that will occur is unknown. BBOCD is a nice way to bring the executive branch closer to the American people, but what of the actual cheese and the poor, huddled masses whom Andrew Jackson supposedly provided it for? It turns out McGarry's speech, much like McGarry himself, is only based on a true story.
Andrew Jackson did in fact keep an enormous block of cheese in the White House, but that seems to be where the similarities with The West Wing speech end. The legend makes it sound almost as if Jackson were on a humanitarian quest to up the dairy consumption of poor Americans. Actually, the giant cheese was a gift to the president, and worse, it wasn't even an original idea. According to Benjamin Perley Poore in his 1886 book Perley's Reminiscences of Sixty Years in the National Metropolis, Thomas Jefferson received an awe-inspiring 1,600-pound cheese behemoth from western Massachusetts and, "Jackson's admirers thought that every honor which Jefferson had ever received should be paid him, so some of them residing in a rural district of New York, got up…a mammoth cheese for Old Hickory." After a national tour that included New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, the cheese arrived at Jackson's White House, where he kept it on display for a year. Then, during the final party he threw as president in 1837, he allowed anyone and everyone to get their fill of the open-air-aged New York cheese. That party produced, perhaps, one of the greatest descriptions of cheese eating on record, again from Poore:
"For hours did a crowd of men, women and boys hack at the cheese, many taking large hunks of it away with them. When they commenced, the cheese weighed one thousand four hundred pounds, and only a small piece was saved for the President's use. The air was redolent with cheese, the carpet was slippery with cheese, and nothing else was talked about at Washington that day. Even the scandal about the wife of the President's Secretary of War was forgotten in the tumultuous jubilation of that great occasion."
That scandal, by the way, was the infamous petticoat affair in which Jackson nominated John Eaton as Secretary of War even though Eaton had married a woman who supposedly had many affairs with married men. Accusations of extra-marital affairs in the 1800s were about as popular as they are today and the "respectable" wives of Jackson's cabinet members were so put out that they (GASP) refused to pay courtesy calls to Eaton's free-loving wife. Ultimately, Eaton resigned his position over it.
But back to the cheese. While the Big Block of Cheese may have, over more than a century of American history become a symbol of a caring democracy at work, according to a source on the ground at the time, it was really more of a gaudy party favor. But at the very least, it's good to know that the power of cheddar, even for a single day, captivated the public more than a Washington sex scandal.
If you want to talk to someone in particular at the White House today, you can find the schedule of Obama administration officials taking part here.

Q: How to debug an R package (with C and C++ code) in Eclipse? In Visual Studio we can use "attach to process" in order to debug the DLLs.
Is there any way to debug C/C++ code of an R package in Eclipse/StatET (i.e. something like this example of debugging external code linked to Scilab)?

A: The following steps work for Eclipse-CDT C/C++ (LUNA).

*

*Compile R (3.2) with debug information. Steps for downloading source using SVN can be found in R install guide.

$./configure --enable-R-shlib --with-valgrind-instrumentation=2 --with-system-valgrind-headers --CFLAGS='-g -O0 -fPIC' FFLAGS='-g -O0 -fPIC' CXXFLAGS='-g -O0 -fPIC' FCFLAGS='-g -O0 -fPIC'
$make
$sudo make install

This will install R under /usr/local/lib/R.
Note: -g and -O are needed to add debug symbols and to make sure that comiple optimization do not prevent debugging.

*Setup proper directory structure for an R-package with C source code. Use a makefile rather than relying on Eclipse-StatET for building the project.  Makes the setup more easily portable to Windows.

*R CMD install at the command line or using the Makefile will install the package to the user's local R library.

*Under Eclipse (Luna) create a "New Debug Configuration" under C/C++ Application.

*Under 'Main' tab:
a. select a C/C++ Application:
/usr/local/lib/R/bin/exec/R
b. Project  may point to the R-package project.
c. Check "Connect process input & output to a terminal".

*Under "Arguments" tab use:

--slave --vanilla --no-save

*Under 'Environment' tab add:

a. LD_LIBRARY_PATH: /use/local/lib/R/lib
b. R_HOME /usr/local/lib/R
Select "Append environment to native environment"

*Under "Debugger" tab

a. Pick GDB debugger gdb
b. If 'GDB command set' is not displayed as an option, click 'Select other...' at the very bottom. Choose 'Legacy Create Process Launcher'. Doing so will now display options for picking GDB command set: Pick Standard with protocol mi.

*Under "source" tab

a. Add absolute path to the R directory with R source (optional) ~/Downloads/R
b. Add absolute path to the package src directory and any other dependent libraries.

*Click Debug.

A: You should run R first. Then you should run the package and attached it to the R process (Debug configuration >  C/C++ attach to application). Both R and eclipse must be run as root.
Shared library must be the address to ...dll or ...so, which is the R package library.
Note 1: You should setup eclipse to compile an R package.

2 Peter 1:15-21 says, "Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease. For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: 'This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.' And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain. And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." Peter related that he and the others were on the holy mountain with Jesus and heard God gloriously declare, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Peter told of being present on the holy mountain, in a 'glory experience', and being touched by God's holiness. Let's remember, no true prophecy came by the will of man but holy men of old spoke being moved by the Holy Spirit. We should not be a vessel that houses the Holy Spirit and not walk holy. We simply can't because otherwise we grieve the Holy Spirit. We are the temple of the Holy Spirit! The Sonship Gift of holiness enables us to house the Holy Spirit! If we were not declared holy we could not be the temple of the Holy Spirit! The reason we can house the Third-Person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit of the Living God is because the blood of Christ has already imparted to us holiness! We must not squander this incredible privilege. We need to greatly honor this amazing gift and be awed by the love of our Father in His gifts to us. Let's move with the Holy Spirit and maintain our holiness because that is our place of faith before God.

Jessica Staveley
Valentine's Day is fast approaching and we all know what that means – it's time to binge watch our favourite romantic comedies.
Whether you're in the mood for a comedy to watch with your partner, or a feel-good movie to watch on your own, there's a romantic comedy for every occasion.
From To All The Boys I've Loved Before to Love Actually, let's take a look at some of the best romantic comedies available to stream on Netflix and Stan right now.
To All The Boys I've Loved Before
Where can I watch it? Netflix
Image: Netflix.
To All The Boys I've Loved Before is a Netflix original movie based on the 2014 young adult novel of the same name.
In case you haven't seen it yet, the movie is an incredibly watchable rom-com filled with all of the high school cliches and movie montages we've come to expect from teen romance movies.
The movie follows high schooler Lara Jean Covey (Lana Condor) after her secret love letters are mailed out to her crushes against her will.
The movie also features Peter Kavinsky (Noah Centineo) – a.k.a the internet's boyfriend.
Watch the trailer for To All The Boys: P.S. I Still Love You. Post continues after video.
The sequel to the movie, To All The Boys: P.S. I Still Love You, was released on Netflix on February 12, making it the perfect Valentine's Day binge.
Where can I watch it? Stan
Image: Stan.
He's Just Not That Into You is yet another romantic comedy based on a book.
The movie, which features Scarlett Johansson, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Aniston to name a few, looks at the challenges of reading or misreading human behaviour – particularly in relationships and dating.
Relatable, right?
Always Be My Maybe
Always Be My Maybe is the Netflix original that's been dubbed the modern day When Harry Met Sally.
The film, starring Ali Wong as Sasha and Randall Park as Marcus, follows two childhood friends and one-time college lovers who reconnect later in life.
As their feelings for each other return and grow after meeting again as adults, the pair come across a number of obstacles.
One of those obstacles? KEANU. REEVES.
The much-loved actor famously played himself in the hilarious rom-com. (Well, a heightened caricature of himself at least...)
We know what you're going to say.
Yes, Love Actually is technically a Christmas movie. No, we're not going to stop watching it outside of December.
We've watched it every year since its 2003 release, sometimes more than once, sometimes… multiple times, but even after all this time, it's still SO GOOD.
Featuring an incredible ensemble cast and plenty of hilarious moments, Love Actually is available to watch on Stan all year round. (Seriously, get on it.)
Listen to the latest episode of Mamamia's daily entertainment podcast, The Spill, below. Post continues after podcast.
Someone Great
Someone Great, starring Jane the Virgin's Gina Rodriguez and Straight Outta Compton's Lakeith Stanfield, tackles love, loss and female friendship.
Here's a quick rundown of the plot:
When Jenny (Gina Rodriguez) is offered her dream job as a music journalist in San Francisco, her boyfriend of nine years ends their relationship.
Before leaving New York City for her new job, Jenny enjoys one last adventure with her two best friends, as she attempts to reconnect with who she was before the relationship that defined much of her twenties.
Although Someone Great is technically a bit of a break up movie, it's definitely a much watch.
Matthew. McConaughey.
Do we need to say anything else?
How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days follows Angie Anderson (Kate Hudson), who's assigned to write an article on, you guessed it, how to lose a guy in 10 days.
Funnily enough, when Angie sets her sights on a man, her plan... doesn't exactly go well.
In fact, advertising executive Benjamin Barry (Matthew McConaughey) has his own plan to make a woman fall in love with him in 10 days.
Based on Cecelia Ahern's bestselling novel, Love, Rosie, follows childhood best friends Rosie and Alex.
For years, Rosie (Lily Collins) and Alex (Sam Claflin) have wondered whether there could be something more than friendship between them.
Over the years, the pair kept getting separated – but fate just keeps bringing them back together.
Failure to Launch
Yep, we've included yet another Matthew McConaughey movie. (Sorry).
Failure to Launch follows Tripp (Matthew McConaughey) – a 35-year-old bachelor who is still living with his parents.
Frustrated with his, ahem, failure to launch, Tripp's parents hire interventionist Paula (Sarah Jessica Parker), in the hopes of changing his life.
Along the way, however, the intervention doesn't exactly goes as planned.

I refuse to watch anything in which Matthew McConaughey leaves his shirt on.
My recommendation - gritty thriller, starts off looking like a Tarantino bloodbath, but give it a chance, ends up more nuanced. Perfect mix of action with character development. IMO.

Your Yoga Mat Could Be Hurting Your Chances Of Getting Pregnant
By Andrea Frazier
Dealing with fertility issues can be one of the most stressful and maddening experiences for a person or a couple to go through, with the strict attention to cycles and sometimes even IVF treatments. Disappointment and frustration and despair over what the heck could possibly be going wrong oftentimes color the process. Now, researchers have identified one possible culprit for yet another negative pregnancy test. It turns out that your yoga mat could hurt your chances of getting pregnant. But take a deep breath in and a let a long breath out, because there are steps that women can take protect themselves from the common chemicals that are bad for fertility.
It's probably a good idea to get the bad news over with first, though. The organophosphate flame retardants (PFRs) in yoga mats are actually common chemicals in all sorts of everyday objects, such as sofas, computer cases, and car seats, according to The New York Daily News. And researchers from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health detected these chemicals (TDCIPP, mono-ITP, and TPHP) in 80 percent of the women undergoing IVF treatment whom they studied between 2005 and 2015. The findings that the researchers ultimately published Friday in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives were striking.
Kena Betancur/Getty Images News/Getty Images
Basically, the women — all of whom were undergoing IVF treatments at the Massachusetts General Hospital Fertility Center — with higher concentrations of any of these PFRs were 10 percent less likely to achieve a successful fertilization through IVF, according to a press release. They experienced embryo implantation 31 percent less of the time than their counterparts with lower concentrations of the chemicals in their systems. Most notable, however, was the difference between the two groups in the likelihood of having a clinical pregnancy with a heartbeat at the ultrasound (41 percent less) and an actual live birth (41 percent less).
It all sounds pretty scary — and, most unsettlingly, a little uncontrollable. Tech Times reported that flame retardants are sometimes mixed into the base of products, and that they can eventually end up as dust outside the foam mattress pad or yoga mat in which they were originally contained. These flame retardants have been known to disrupt the thyroid and sex hormones in animals, according to HuffPost, and it's possible that the same thing could be going on with humans. That's obviously pretty disturbing for anyone who desperately wants to get pregnant but, for whatever reason, can't.

Still, there's hope. Study author and environmental epidemiologist Courtney Carignan told HuffPost that it could be a good idea to invest in furniture with either barrier technology or it made of fabrics like leather or wool, which are naturally flame resistant. Getting rid of carpeting that may contain PFRs could also be a step in the right direction. Those who may not be able to get new furniture or make other big changes to their homes should wash their hands often. And when it comes to that yoga mat? Try switching it out for one that's chemical-free.
Researchers opted to study women undergoing IVF so they could track each stage of the process, but they believe that their findings are applicable to the population more generally as well. This is the first study of its kind to detect the link between PFRs and infertility, so more research is in order.

Vapes and Recreational Drugs: A Deadly Combination
Electronic cigarettes are on the rise in the military community — a recent study found these drugs not only are used more prevalently than previously thought, but they are also outmatching traditional cigarettes. But electronic cigarettes may not only be more dangerous than we realize, they are also banned in some cases.
Electronic cigarettes or e-cigs, e-pens, and e-hookah are known collectively as ENDS — electronic nicotine delivery systems. They were first introduced to the U.S. mass market in 2007 as an alternative to actual cigarettes. But there are a lot of unknowns to ENDS, and according to smokefree.gov, "Since e-cigs aren't regulated yet, there's no way of knowing how much nicotine is in them or what other chemicals they contain. These two things make the safety of e-cigs unclear."
Branches of the military have also realized the potential hazards of e-cigs and vaping products. The Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces, and Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet released a joint message recently that suspends the use, possession, storage, and charging of ENDS aboard ships, submarines, aircraft, boats, craft, and heavy equipment. This new policy is in response to continued reports of explosions of ENDS due to overheating of lithium-ion batteries.
The Army's message came through the Army Public Health Center, which recently released a Public Health Alert on the health effects of vape oils such as cannabidiol (CBD) oil, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), or synthetic cannabinoids. Military Treatment Facilities have treated Service members who reported headaches, nausea, vomiting, palpitations, dilated pupils, dizziness, disorientation, agitation, and seizure symptoms that are associated with synthetic cannabinoids.
In a recent article, military officials state that, although some vape oils claim to contain CBD oil, CBD, THC, and/or synthetic cannabinoids, many vape oils do not disclose that they may contain illegal and/or potentially hazardous substances. Consumers may unintentionally purchase and use the oils containing these substances.

Q: How to send a JAVA object to C through JNi and assign the java object values to C Structure? I have a JAVA function which makes a call to C function through JNI .
My Java Function :
  char details= 'd';
        char reg_code='r';
        char[] reg_chal ={0x01,0x02,0x03,0x04,0x05,0x06,0x07,0x08,0x09,0x00,0x01,0x02,0x03,0x04,0x05,0x06} ;
        char[] aid = {0x01,0x02,0x03,0x04,0x05,0x06,0x07,0x08,0x09,0x00,0x01,0x02,0x03,0x04,0x05,0x06,0x01,0x02,0x03,0x04,0x05,0x06,0x07,0x08,0x09,0x00,0x01,0x02,0x03,0x04,0x05,0x06};
        RegisterInfo regInfo = new RegisterInfo( reg_chal,aid);

        res = nativeLib.reg(regInfo, details, reg_code);

Now my C File which contains JNI stuff .. Actually i'm sending registerInfo object to JNI. Register Info class contains some char arrays. I want to assign the value of the char arrays to my C structure : reg_info_t:
#define DEBUG_TAG "NDK_NativeLib"
#define  LOGD(...)  __android_log_print(ANDROID_LOG_DEBUG, DEBUG_TAG, __VA_ARGS__)

typedef struct{

    unsigned char reg_chal[12];
    unsigned char aid[12];
}reg_info_t;

JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL Java_com_marakana_NativeLib_reg(JNIEnv *env,jclass obj,jobject info ,jchar details,jchar reg_code)
    {
        reg_info_t regInfo;
        jclass clazz;
        jfieldID fid;
        jmethodID mid;

        jint status =0;

          LOGD("NDK:LC: [%s]", "JNI Function call started");

        clazz = (*env)->GetObjectClass(env, info);
        if (0 == clazz)
        {
            printf("GetObjectClass returned 0\n");
            return(-1);
        }

        jstring  reg_chal= (*env)->NewStringUTF(env,regInfo.reg_chal);
        fid = (*env)->GetFieldID(env,clazz,"reg_chal","Ljava/lang/String;");
        (*env)->SetObjectField(env,info,fid,reg_chal);
        LOGD("NDK:LC: [%s]", reg_chal);

         return status;

}

RegisterInfo.java
public class RegisterInfo {
   private char[] reg_chal  ;
   private char[] aid;

   public RegisterInfo(char[] reg_chal,char[] aid) {
        super();
        this.reg_chal = reg_chal;
        this.aid = aid;
   }
}

Now when i run the Code i get the error :
09-14 10:14:19.536: WARN/dalvikvm(666): **JNI WARNING: illegal start byte 0xf0**
09-14 10:14:19.536: WARN/dalvikvm(666):              string: '�ѯ$ԯ�'

I think i am making some error in conversions between string,char[] and objects assigning. Can you please help me. Thanks in advance.

A: check this link for char[]

I spent an hour or so yesterday completing the forms necessary for my family to travel on our Mediterranean cruise next week. The cruise line asks that you send in your passport information— as well as certain details like your travel plans, your emergency contact and of course, your credit card number for on-ship spending. What I hadn't expected them to ask was for the primary racial identification of all of our travellers.
It's funny, I had completed that section for my husband, myself and my older daughter without really thinking about it. White, black, black… and then I came to my baby, who is bi-racial. I couldn't call her primarily white any more than I could call her primarily black. If she were old enough to ask, I would have written whatever she said. Experts on the subject say that it's normal for bi-racial children to bounce between racial choices: black at one stage of their growth, white at others. They may also insist on both– or neither, claiming themselves to transcend classification. I've read enough literature to be prepared for Sommer's choices as she grows older.
But right now, Sommer's a little shy of 4 years old. At this moment, the choice was mine. We've never come across this before: she goes to a private preschool where the question was never asked. Perhaps in a year or so, we may confront the issue again on some public school form. But this was my first time– my virgin moment– with racial classifications in my own family– and I was surprised my the conflicting emotions it brought up.
I re-read the form. This section was optional– the cruise line was only interested for marketing and consumer information purposes– but I hadn't hesitated or even questioned the use of their data for the rest of my family. Sommer's status made me re-think whether that was information that I cared to share– or at least whether the cruise lines marketing database was a good enough reason to provide it. But righteous indignation aside, there will be other forms, more crucial ones. Medical forms, for example. What is the appropriate response for a child whose parents are of different races?
Organizations like ProjectRace.org have been focusing on this issue for years. They have lobbied against boxes like "other" and argue that, in our increasingly multiracial society, forms should allows to "check all that apply" instead of being forced into a single category box. The wisdom of this approach seems obvious to me: it allows a person of mixed heritage to honor all of his or her cultural influences.
But the larger questions remain about why any of this matters so much outside of the medical context (where certain genetic markers may affect compatibility of treatments). What does it say about our society when a cruise line collects racial information "for marketing purposes"? What does it say about our school system if racial heritage is important information to tracking the performance of a student?
The truth is, if I knew more about my own racial heritage, I could probably check every box on any form you give me— most of us probably could. I know for certain there is white/Dutch ancestry in family, as well as English/Anglo Saxon blood. But I'm certain there is a far more rich story that I don't know and that that rich heritage is present for us all.
Perhaps the ProjectRace.org approach is the beginning: we check as many boxes as apply… until science and geneology make it possible for all of us to check all of the boxes. Only then will the necessity for racial categorization become unnecessary.
For today, I left Sommer's form blank … and when back and erased the categories for the rest of my family. We're a family travelling together and that's really all the cruise line needs to know.

I like your article. I also like what you say about what we all might find looking at our distant family tree. I am a pale blond of primarily Irish, English and Swedish descent but when I was digging into my geneology about six months before my now 4.5 year old daughter who is bi-racial was born I found that my great, great grandmother from New York was listed on census records as mullatto. For an instant this discovery was shocking (not in a bad way). However, it made sense as my my maternal grandmother had light brown skin that through family lore we attributed it to some likely mysterious native american. Point being illustrates what you mention — who knows — what anyone's background is. In the reverse, my husband who is African-American just two generations back had a great grandfather from Germany who basically lived in an African-American enclave not understanding America's racial issues and apparently not understanding at least immediately why his living among African-Americans was strange and in the south at the time dangerous. What box am I to fill out from our daughter? I try to check-off as many as appropriate and hope more flexibility in this arena because I think many others have the 'surprise' relatives in their background that both my husband and I have…:-)

"But the larger questions remain about why any of this matters so much outside of the medical context (where certain genetic markers may affect compatibility of treatments)."
I am still annoyed that we could not get our wedding license without answering this question. Had I to do over, I would put "human" in the space and leave it at that. I had to answer the question to take Portuguese at the adult ed program through Miami public schools. Really? My race is relevant for this?
For the US census, I didn't answer the question. The census people called me four times! I refused to answer each time. None of their business.

Add a box that says "human" and check that.

The British Open — or simply, The Open, as they call it across the pond — returns to Carnoustie, site of the infamous Jean van de Velde meltdown. It's been 19 years since Van de Velde epically choked away a Claret Jug on the tournament's final hole. So plan on hearing plenty about that in the next few days, much to JVDV's chagrin.
Is there a marquee group?
Not really. The closest thing to a supergroup is Jordan Spieth, Justin Rose and Kiradech Aphibarnrat, who has the best name in golf. They go off at 4:58 a.m. ET Thursday. Rickie Fowler and Jon Rahm (5:09 a.m.) will tee it up together in the first two rounds, a pairing of the two best players in the world not to have won a major.
When does Tiger Woods tee off?
No need to set the alarm for Tiger on Thursday, who goes off at 10:21 a.m. Thursday. He's paired with Hideki Matsuyama and Russell Knox.
Who is the favorite to win?
Per OddsShark, Dustin Johnson (11-1) and Rory McIlroy (12-1) are the favorites to win. Other favorites include the usual suspects: Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood are all 16-1. U.S. Open champ Brooks Koepka is 20-1, as is … Tiger Woods.
Rounds 1 and 2. All times ET.


Carpentry Apprentice Program takes determination, diligence, and good fortune to complete it. Being that there is a high demand for more carpenters in the construction business more and more apprentices are being needed each day. Positions are available to apprentices that want to work as carpenter helpers. It is a fact that the economy is getting better and carpenters across the world are going to need apprentices to help them on basic carpentry jobs.
To complete an apprentice program it takes determination from the candidate that wants to become a journeyman carpenter. Determination is just one of the clues to unlocking the door to journeyman. Determination plays a huge part in completing the apprentice program. Without it anyone is capable of failing this hard task. If a hunch comes in your brain to quit remember that quitters never win and winners never quit.
Being diligent is another way to complete the carpentry program. Each person that is a participant in this hard program should be careful in everything that is done. Always keeping safety the number one priority. This is a sure-fire way to complete this hard and difficult program. Without diligence it is impossible to complete the apprentice program.
When I completed my carpentry apprenticeship I realized at the end that it took determination diligence and a passion to learn carpentry. I was fortunate to be able to complete such a difficult task I was tested inside and out. It was one of the major accomplishments in my life. As I result I am committed in helping anyone that can use some help if it is a word of encouragement or advice I am here for you thank you for reading and God Bless.

Investors Flood Into High-Tech Board Shares
By Zhang Yu and Liu Jiefei

Investors are making a frantic scramble for shares in companies to be listed on China's new high-tech board, with some initial public offerings (IPOs) oversubscribed more than 300 times, amid expectations their prices will surge when they start trading.
Suzhou TZTEK Technology Co. Ltd., a video measuring and machine vision instrument manufacturer, is selling 48.4 million shares at 25.5 yuan ($3.71) per share to raise 1.23 billion yuan. Investors subscribed for 339.9 times the number of shares on offer, according to the company's filing (link in Chinese) to the Shanghai Stock Exchange on Monday.
Zhejiang Hangke Technology Inc. Co., Yantai Raytron Technology Co. Ltd., and Suzhou HYC Technology Co. Ltd., the three other companies that have announced their IPOs, also reported subscriptions of 233.5 times to 335.7 times, according to their statements.
Demand is strong despite the IPO candidates' high price-to-earnings (PE) ratios, a key valuation metric that shows the ratio of a company's share price to its earnings per share. The higher the ratio, the more expensive the shares are perceived to be, although investors are usually prepared to pay more for companies they believe have good growth and earnings prospects even if their profits are currently low.
The high-tech board is trialing a new IPO system based on registration rather than regulatory approval and has abolished an unofficial cap on the PE ratio imposed on listing candidates — the upper limit has been set at 23 since early 2014 and informally enforced through "window guidance" to companies and their advisors. The aim of the change is to let investors and the market decide on the price, the practice followed in other countries, rather than the regulators.
Suzhou TZTEK's IPO price values the company at 57.5 times its 2018 earnings after excluding nonrecurring gains and losses. That's 2.5 times higher than the average PE ratio of 23 for mainland-listed companies and almost double the average PE ratio of 31.3 estimated by China Securities Index Co. Ltd. for the professional equipment manufacturing industry, according to a filing by Suzhou TZTEK. Even so, it's close to the average PE ratio of 49.7 of the four listed companies named in the filing as comparable businesses.
Raytron Technology, which engages in the research and development of infrared imaging and micro-electromechanical sensor technology, set its IPO price at 20 yuan per share, valuing the company at 79.1 times its 2018 earnings. The average PE ratio for the industry is 30.58, but the average ratio for public companies with similar businesses is 100, according to a filing by Raytron Technology.
Both Raytron and TZTEK have relatively higher PE ratios because there are few other similar companies in their industries, an investment banker involved in IPOs who declined to be identified told Caixin.

Ok, I am going to try to update much more often because these monster posts are a hassle to write, i forget details and interesting things, you probably hate to read all of it - or just don't- and doing so more often will be more interesting.
So, though this is not in the spirit of the holidays and their value, I will try to quickly go over the biggest holidays of the year and some other stuff as quickly as possible while retaining whatever particularly interesting things happened.
I was in Ma'ale Adumim for both Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur. RHS was good, my family (for simplicity's sake though they are not related - sister of an uncle through marriage) follows Sephardic custom and so the beginning of the meal was a bit more involved then the "just dip the apple in the honey (to represent a sweet new year)" that I'm used to.
There were a number of symbolic foods, all of which had a particular blessing before them and represented a certain value that we hope for in the new year. A lot of not falling to our enemies, strengthening ourselves, and so on. Of note was the the fish's head (filled with gefilte fish - which i thought Sephardim didn't eat) which was to symbolize that "we be as the head and not as the tail" i.e. from Deuteronomy/Devarim דְּבָרִים ("things") where it says "And HASHEM shall place you as a head and not as a tail..." which is paraphrased by a commentator as "as a mighty one and not as a weakling." Other than that the holiday involved getting up for 7:30 shul, early starts on holidays and shabbat is one of the few things I can't say I love about this country though there are values to it.
In between the two holidays I went hiking near Abu Ghosh, an Israeli-Arab town know to have very good relations with Jewish Israelis. It was nice though there is something lost, the quiet of nature, when you hike with a large group as I did (it was organized through the school). The hike ended with us walking to a restaurant in town that, unfortunately, a few of us couldn't eat at because it didn't have kosher certification. Some people are surprised that there are places that a shomer kashrut Jew wouldn't be able to eat at in Israel though it has to do with the certification being expensive and simply unnecessary for business when the place is located in christian, Arab, or secular areas.
Yom Kippur was somewhat disappointing. Don't get me wrong, family was good, shul was good, break fast was good, and the fast was relatively easy. That said, Chabad at my school does a really really great job with services. It feels very intense and meaningful there. You'd think that upstate would have nothing on Israel but it is what it is. Perhaps I wasn't plugged in right.
Interesting about YK in Israel is that it is also called, by some, the Day of the Bicycle. During YK even many many secular Israeli's practice in some way. There is so little automobile activity (and in some areas none) that kids, one day a year, can ride their bikes freely throughout the streets. After services Friday night (YK is the only fast day allowed to take place on shabbat, all others are postponed until the next day or made early when they fall on shabbat) everyone was out, walking, talking, riding (mostly kids under 13 who don't have to fast), etc. It was another Israel moment - a mix of emotions - although I can't say I loved people doing many things prohibited by the holiday it was also something to see streets so empty of traffic and to see so many Jews involved in the heritage in some way.
There was an end of ulpan picnic Sunday which was nice and I was particularly impressed by Hiba, an Arab-Israeli in our class, who brought us a package made up of layers and layers of newspapers. Every other layer there was a small prize covered with a piece of paper on which was a question to answer. We all one some cute key chain or other, it was very very thoughtful.
Monday was the final from 8:30-12. We'll see how I do but assuming I pass I'll be able to advance to the next level of ulpan during the first semester (Gimmel, the 3rd level of 6, something like high intermediate or low advanced).
I went to friends' subletted apartment in the German Colony Wednesday night (sprinted in Naot to catch the last bus - thank Gd, maybe because of the holiday- he stopped for me, which is unusual a country of often rude bus drivers.
Walked an hour each way to a neighborhood next to the New Gate of the Old City. We attended a sukkot meal/party of about 40 young Americans. It was really nice. Plenty of food and I spent a lot of time speaking with a guy, also staying with my friends, who is currently in the army through Machal after studying at Haifa for a year (Don't worry guys, I'm coming home). I picked up a few tips for my friend B who is going in a month or so. The two interesting ones were to tell him to go to his induction with facial hair. At BAKUM, the base where soldiers are drafted and set up, you are given a photo ID. In the army you have to be cleanshaven and my friend told me that sometimes the commander would walk around scratching people's chins to see if they had stubble, then make them shave if they did. In any case there is a loophole, religious soldiers who feel the need to have a beard can get an exemption. Thing is, you have to kind of prove to them that you want/need a beard so... they look at your ID picture. Now my friend with whom I was speaking is not religious but he got it anyway. "One of the little things that makes your life much easier." The other thing was to pray three times a day (as Jewish men are supposed to) no matter religious or not, "its a great way to start your day, reflect and recenter yourself, and avoid [having to practice clearing your gun from any possible jam]."
Today we walked an hour back and forth again to the Old City to join Ezra on the roof of his house. I had lunch in the hippiest (though very beautiful) and most crowded (with hippies) sukkah for my second meal for my first sukkot in Israel."
Sukkot here is great so far. Its the first holiday I've been able to get into. I went to Geula and spent hours picking out arba minim (which was a bit much, but part of the experience i guess) and while traveling around during the week I love noticing how many people have sukkot up. Everywhere. Someone quoted another person as describing it like this "At home we have maybe one sukkah around, here even Burger King has a sukkah (many kosher restaurants put up sukkot during the holiday).
Of course I want to build in some message for the holiday. Ezra mentioned that many people loved the sukkah at his place, it was built using colorful tapestries for walls, its floor covered with patterned mats, and decorated with "trippy" pictures and artwork. He had been asked about certain changes that might be made, making the sukkah circular instead of rectangular, and noted that there were restrictions to building a sukkah including that it have a square or rectangular shape. Many people complain about the restrictions that shabbat, various holidays, and religious life in general come with. However it is possible to focus, instead of on the restrictions, on the opportunities that we have while dealing within the framework of these rules (if we cant watch TV, or go to the mall we have to spend time with family, talking, sharing, thinking). In the same way he was able to build a beautiful sukkah that people love AND work within the requirements of Jewish law we can build an amazing lifestyle while working with restrictions. We should all have a beautiful Sukkot holiday, filled with family and friends, and get the meaning of the holiday and be built from it.
Finally I think I'm sick after - my hypothesis - lowering my immune system during a really hard track work out Tuesday night, then more by sleeping with a fan to my head, then being exposed to a lot of people. I hope this doesn't mess up shabbat plans.
One more thing, on the cab ride back from HaMoshav HaGermanit (German Colony) I spoke with the cab driver about how his sukkot started, where he was from (Maale Adumim!), and managed to get something of a compliment on my Hebrew!!!!
You always write with such heart and insight. Another pleasant, touching entry, sir.

Maryland Enacts Mandatory WARN Act Obligations for Even Small Job Actions
By Steven Kaplan, Daniel Thieme and Meredith Schramm-Strosser on
Maryland recently enacted amendments to its Economic Stabilization Act to require that an employer implementing a "reduction in operations" must provide 60 days' advance notice to employees and others, and also provide continuation of health, pension, severance and/or other benefits to affected employees on terms yet to be developed by the state secretary of labor. These significant obligations are triggered by the closure of all or a portion of operations affecting as few as 15 employees, as well as by relocations of operations. The change was enacted on May 7, 2020, as a result of Governor Hogan's decision not to veto legislation passed in March. The new law will be effective on October 1, 2020.
The Terms of the Amendment
The law replaces prior voluntary guidelines, and implements three critical changes: (1) mandatory 60 days' written notice, (2) mandatory continuation of benefits, and (3) orders of compliance and fines for violations.
These now-mandatory obligations apply to any person or entity that employs at least 50 employees and operates an industrial, commercial, or business enterprise in Maryland. The law does not specify whether employees outside of Maryland are counted toward this employer coverage test.
Obligations under the law are triggered by a "reduction in operations," which is considerably broader than the triggering events under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act or any other state equivalent. A Maryland "reduction in operations" includes (1) a relocation of part of an employer's operations, and (2) the shutdown of a workplace, or portion of operations, that reduces the number of employees by at least 25% or 15 employees, whichever is greater, over any three-month period.1 With respect to the relocation trigger, the law does not specify whether 25% or 15 employees must have their employment terminated, or whether the relocation must involve a significant distance.
Mandatory 60 Days' Notice
Employers are obligated to provide 60 days' written notice of a reduction in operations (RIO) to the following persons and entities:
All employees at the workplace that are subject to the RIO;2
Each exclusive representative or bargaining agency [sic] that represents employees at the workplace that is subject to the RIO;
The Division of Workforce Development's dislocated worker unit; and
All elected officials in the jurisdiction where the workplace that is subject to the RIO is located.
Whether the law requires notice to all employees at the workplace, or only those the employer expects to lay off, is not clearly addressed.
Continuation of Benefits
The state secretary of labor is directed to develop regulations that shall include the continuation of benefits, such as health, severance, and pension, that an employer facing a reduction in operations should provide to employees whose employment will be terminated.
Orders and Fines
The amendment empowers the state secretary of labor to issue both orders compelling compliance and fines for violations of the notice requirement. Where a violation is found, the new law requires that the secretary issue an order compelling compliance, and gives the secretary discretion to assess a civil penalty up to $10,000 per day (up to a potential total of $600,000).3 Factors taken into consideration when determining the penalty are (1) the gravity of the violation, (2) the size of the employer's business, (3) the employer's good faith, and (4) the employer's history of violations under the law. In contrast to this potential $600,000 penalty exposure, federal WARN and most other state WARNs carry a maximum monetary penalty to governmental entities of $30,000. The Maryland law does not expressly address whether it authorizes private rights of action, or instead requires that all claims must be presented to the state secretary of labor.
The Amendment Appears to Lack Important Protections Present in Federal WARN and Other State WARNs
The amendment fails to expressly state important exceptions and clarifying provisions that are a part of federal WARN and most other state WARN statutes. Those differences include that the Maryland law:
Does not provide an express exception or allow shortened notice for natural disasters such as the COVID-19 pandemic, or unforeseeable business circumstances such as an unexpected customer cancellation or even a government shutdown or shelter-at-home order.
Does not provide an express exception or allow shortened notice for faltering businesses trying to raise capital but unable to disclose that they might have to close.
Does not expressly specify that employers have the flexibility to implement short-term furloughs without incurring liability.
Does not provide an express exception for a sale of a business, when employees really do not lose employment but move from the selling employer to the buying employer.
The law states that WARN notice shall be given to all elected officials in the jurisdiction where the workplace is located. "Jurisdiction" is not defined. Even assuming this will be interpreted, in parallel to federal WARN, as referring to the county and, if applicable, the city, town, or village, the law still seems to require that the employer locate and notify every elected official of the relevant municipality. The City of Baltimore, for example, has 18 elected officials.
The law copies erroneously from federal WARN in its definition of employees who are not counted for WARN purposes, by stating their length of employment is judged in "the immediately preceding 12 months," rather than during "the 12 months preceding the date on which notice is required." This raises the possibility that under the Maryland law an employee may be credited with service through the employee's termination date, rather than through the notice date 60 days earlier as under federal WARN and in other states. This subtle difference has the potential to create surprise and unanticipated liability for employers.
Employers should carefully review this new law with experienced counsel before implementing reductions in force or relocations of jobs within Maryland on or after October 1, 2020.
See Footnotes
1 To calculate whether this minimum is exceeded, the statute does not count persons who work on average less than 20 hours per week or have worked for the employer for less than 6 months in the immediately preceding 12 months.
2 If notice is due, the statute requires notice to employees regardless of hours of work or tenure.
3 No penalty may be assessed before notice and hearing is provided to the employer.

Seychelles election marks first opposition victory in 44 years
Sésel / Péyi kréyolopal
Lundi, 26 Octobre, 2020 - 09:05
Wavel Ramkalawan wins presidency ousting incumbent United Seychelles party leader
An Anglican priest won the Seychelles presidential election on Sunday, marking the first opposition victory since the Indian Ocean archipelago's independence from Britain more than four decades ago.
Wavel Ramkalawan won enough votes in the first round to clinch the presidency on his sixth attempt and called for unity after his victory.
"It is important to find how we can reconcile our people to go forward," the 59-year-old said as his jubilant supporters began celebrating in the streets of the capital, Victoria.
The incumbent, Danny Faure, 58, who was running under the recently renamed United Seychelles party that had been in power since 1977, conceded defeat and wished his successor good luck.
Ramkalawan, the leader of the Linyon Demokratik Seselwa, or Seychelles Democratic Alliance, won 54.9% of the vote to Faure's 43.5% to become the fifth president of the Seychelles.
The opposition also won the legislative election that took place from Thursday to Saturday alongside the presidential poll, with Ramkalawan's party taking 25 seats, or two-thirds of the parliament. The United Seychelles party won 10 seats.
The opposition had been hoping for its first presidential win in the 44 years since independence from Britain. All previous presidents have come from the United Seychelles party, and Ramkalawan lost the 2015 race by only 200 votes.
The US state department hailed the election as a "another major milestone in Seychelles's democracy".
It said Washington looked "forward to expanding cooperation on a wide range of mutual interests including maritime security, good governance, and fighting drug abuse, piracy, and terrorism".
The campaign had taken place mainly over social media, with rallies banned because of the coronavirus.
The Seychelles has recorded only 149 cases of Covid-19, mostly imported, but the pandemic has been a burning campaign issue because restrictions on global travel have hit the tourism industry, a major sector for the country's economy and employer of many of its 98,000 people.
Visitor numbers have collapsed since March in what is normally a popular destination for honeymooners and paradise-seekers drawn by its sandy beaches and turquoise waters.
The economy has slowed significantly since the start of the pandemic and unemployment has risen to 6.3%, according to government figures.
Average income is among the highest in Africa, but the national statistics agency says about 40%t of Seychellois live in poverty because of the high cost of living.
