Elon Musk: The Scientist Behind the CEO (and How He Teaches Himself) Documentary Venture City
This mini documentary takes a look at how Elon Musk sees the world through a scientific and engineering mind – and how this fuels the businesses he has started. We will also take a look at how he taught himself about different industries: from banking (Paypal), to rocket engineering (SpaceX). Elon Musk champions the use of physics as a way of thinking. And believes that more people should be innovating in manufacturing – to help build the city of the future. Rather than entering the finance, law, or internet based industries. This video also takes a look at the 'reasoning from first principles' framework – which will allow anyone to view their world, personal and business, just like Elon.

Audible Audiobook – Unabridged
Ashlee Vance (Author), Fred Sanders (Narrator), HarperAudio (Publisher)
Kindle from $11.99 Read with Our Free App Audiobook $0.00 $14.98Paperback
In the spirit of Steve Jobs and Moneyball, Elon Musk is both an illuminating and authorized look at the extraordinary life of one of Silicon Valley's most exciting, unpredictable, and ambitious entrepreneurs – a real-life Tony Stark – and a fascinating exploration of the renewal of American invention and its new makers.
Elon Musk spotlights the technology and vision of Elon Musk, the renowned entrepreneur and innovator behind SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity, who sold one of his Internet companies, PayPal, for $1.5 billion. Ashlee Vance captures the full spectacle and arc of the genius' life and work, from his tumultuous upbringing in South Africa and flight to the United States to his dramatic technical innovations and entrepreneurial pursuits.
Vance uses Musk's story to explore one of the pressing questions of our age: Can the nation of inventors and creators who led the modern world for a century still compete in an age of fierce global competition? He argues that Musk – one of the most unusual and striking figures in American business history – is a contemporary, visionary amalgam of legendary inventors and industrialists, including Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes, and Steve Jobs. More than any other entrepreneur today, Musk has dedicated his energies and his own vast fortune to inventing a future that is as rich and far reaching as the visionaries of the golden age of science-fiction fantasy.

Smarter Faster Better: The Secrets of Being Productive in Life and Business Kindle Edition
by Charles Duhigg (Author) Hardcover $16.76
FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE POWER OF HABIT COMES A FASCINATING NEW BOOK EXPLORING THE SCIENCE OF PRODUCTIVITY, AND WHY, IN TODAY'S WORLD, MANAGING HOW YOU THINK–RATHER THAN WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT–CAN TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE.
Productivity, recent studies suggest, isn't always about driving ourselves harder, working faster and pushing ourselves toward greater "efficiency." Rather, real productivity relies on managing how we think, identify goals, construct teams and make decisions. The most productive people, companies and organizations don't merely act differently–they envision the world and their choices in profoundly different ways.
This book explores eight concepts that are critical to increasing productivity. It takes you into the cockpit of two passenger jets (one crashes) to understand the importance of constructing mental models–telling yourself stories about yourself in order to subconsciously focus on what really matters. It introduces us to basic training in the U.S. Marine Corps, where the internal locus of control is exploited to increase self-motivation. It chronicles the outbreak of Israel's Yom Kippur War to examine cognitive closure–a dangerous trap that stems from our natural desire to feel productive and check every last thing off our to-do lists, causing us to miss obvious risks and bigger opportunities. It uses a high-achieving public school in Cincinnati to illuminate the concept of disfluency, which holds that we learn faster and more deeply when we make the data harder to absorb. It shows how the principles of lean manufacturing–in which decision-making power is pushed to the lowest levels of the hierarchy–allowed the FBI to produce a software system that had eluded them for years. It explores how Disney made Frozen into a record success by encouraging tension among animation teams–a version of what biologists refer to as the Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis, which posits that nature is most creative when crises occur. With the combination of relentless curiosity, deep reporting and rich storytelling that defined The Power of Habit, Charles Duhigg takes readers from neurology laboratories to Google's brainstorming sessions and illustrates how we can all increase productivity in our lives.

Things That Make Us Smart: Defending Human Attributes in the Age of the Machine Kindle Edition
by Don Norman(Author) Kindle $7.55Read with Our Free App Hardcover $36.30 Paperback $14.58
By the author of THE DESIGN OF EVERYDAY THINGS.
Insightful and whimsical, profoundly intelligent and easily accessible, Don Norman has been exploring the design of our world for decades, exploring this complex relationship between humans and machines. In this seminal work, fully revised and updated, Norman gives us the first steps towards demanding a person-centered redesign of the machines we use every day.
Humans have always worked with objects to extend our cognitive powers, from counting on our fingers to designing massive supercomputers. But advanced technology does more than merely assist with memory—the machines we create begin to shape how we think and, at times, even what we value. In THINGS THAT MAKE US SMART, Donald Norman explores the complex interaction between human thought and the technology it creates, arguing for the development of machines that fit our minds, rather than minds that must conform to the machine.

There was a time in the not-too-distant past when intelligence was associated almost exclusively with narrow IQ tests designed to predict who would succeed and who could not. That IQ score was said to be fixed. But in 2018, thanks to a revolution in cognitive neuroscience, experts now know that we have many kinds of intelligence –not all of them measured by old-style IQ tests- and that IQ itself can be enhanced. How we raise our children, how we spend our spare time, even our exercise, all serves to boost the cognitive brain. In this book, we cover the range of intelligences that make us successful, from verbal and spatial to social and emotional—and, through a series of exercises and how-to's, we dive deep into the emerging techniques for boosting our brains across the realms. Look here for an interactive quiz to find your creative style; create a workout program of physical exercise to boost your smarts; and take an in-depth test of your emotional IQ. Bonus features include sample questions across the different areas of intelligence and a bona fide version of the Wonderlic test, which is today given widely to job applicants in Fortune 500 Companies and even the NFL. The good news is that new training techniques covered in The Science of Smart can help anyone increase their scores and—more importantly—their performance in the world.

Nikola Tesla: The Man Who Worked the Future – A Biography Documentary of the life of Nikola Tesla by: All About Everything
Leonardo da Vinci Paperback – October 2, 2018
by Walter Isaacson (Author) Paperback $11.99 Kindle $11.99
The #1 New York Times bestseller from Walter Isaacson brings Leonardo da Vinci to life in this exciting new biography that is "a study in creativity: how to define it, how to achieve it…Most important, it is a powerful story of an exhilarating mind and life" (The New Yorker).
Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo da Vinci's astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson "deftly reveals an intimate Leonardo" (San Francisco Chronicle) in a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardo's genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy.
He produced the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry. He explored the math of optics, showed how light rays strike the cornea, and produced illusions of changing perspectives in The Last Supper. His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities and the sciences, made iconic by his drawing of Vitruvian Man, made him history's most creative genius.
In the "luminous" (Daily Beast) Leonardo da Vinci, Isaacson describes how Leonardo's delight at combining diverse passions remains the ultimate recipe for creativity. So, too, does his ease at being a bit of a misfit: illegitimate, gay, vegetarian, left-handed, easily distracted, and at times heretical. His life should remind us of the importance to be imaginative and, like talented rebels in any era, to think different. Here, da Vinci "comes to life in all his remarkable brilliance and oddity in Walter Isaacson's ambitious new biography…a vigorous, insightful portrait" (The Washington Post).

Featuring a new epilogue read by the author.
From the author of the best-selling biographies of Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein, this is the exclusive biography of Steve Jobs.
Based on more than 40 interviews with Jobs conducted over two years – as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues – Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.
At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the 21st century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering.

TIME Alternative Medicine Single Issue Magazine – January 17, 2020
by The Editors of TIME (Author)
Much of what has long been labeled "alternative" medicine is actually viable ancient wisdom common for millennia. In a time of skyrocketing health insurance costs and with prescription drugs that often seem to cause as much harm as good, these natural, time-tested practices have moved into the mainstream. Between 30 and 40 percent of Americans seek out alternative treatments, such as acupuncture and natural remedies, spending more than $30 billion each year. Now, this special edition helps you unpack the sea of choices and navigate the trends for science-backed information. Trace a timeline to the origins of these modern treatments and explore the effective mystery of acupuncture; how to bend and be well with yoga; the healing power of plants, including cannabis; the dietary cleanse and the simple power of mindfulness to reduce stress. You'll even find tips on getting coverage from your insurance company. Reconsider the brutal costs and unnecessary side effects of many modern preventions and treatments with this special edition of alternatives. Please note that this product is an authorized edition published by the Meredith Corporation and sold by Amazon. This edition is printed using a high quality matte interior paper and printed on demand for immediate fulfillment.

TIME 100 Most Healing Foods: +20 Delicious Recipes Kindle Edition
Put these 100 powerful foods to work for you.
That we need food to survive is evident, but it is also becoming increasingly clear that what we choose to eat can either harm or heal us. In an age where the vast majority of American adults fail to eat the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables a day, it is impossible to overstate the impact that food has on our livelihood. It has been used as medicine for hundreds of years and different cultures have long-standing cures and corrections for everyday ailments-in fact, many doctors prescribe fruits and vegetables for better health!
This new Special Edition from TIME presents 100 foods that will help bolster your health in unique ways. Some protect against cancer (think broccoli, turnips, and eggplant) and anti-inflammatory disorders (more reasons to enjoy pineapples, mushrooms, and swiss chard), while others ease cold symptoms and digestive issues. And because cooking gives us control over what we put in our bodies, there are also 20 creative recipes and simple tips for how to enjoy each of these foods (for instance, a flavorful Feta Herb Edamame Succotash). TIME's 100 Most Healing Foods proves that filling our plates with colorful fruits and vegetables, power proteins, grains, nuts, and spices can set us up for long-term health and happiness!

David Eagleman: The Creative Brain WheelerCentre
Creativity and ingenuity are the qualities that set our species apart, argues neuroscientist David Eagleman. 'Obviously, a little bit of credit needs to go to the opposable thumb and larynx, but fundamentally it's about this massive mashup of ideas that we have … Most of them stink, but occasionally, something gets generated that works for our society.' Eagleman has dedicated his life to understanding the inner workings of the brain, through his books 'The Brain: The Story of You' and 'Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain' and the television series 'The Brain with David Eagleman'. For the past few years, the Stanford University professor has turned his attention to the link between the brain and creativity. With composer Anthony Brandt he's co-authored a book, 'The Runaway Species: How Human Creativity Remakes the World', which explores the key components and possibilities of creativity through the lens of neuroscience. The pair propose that there are three key elements to all acts of human creativity: bending, blending and breaking. At the Athenaeum Theatre, Eagleman joins Natasha Mitchell to expand on these ideas, explaining how the human brain can remake the world.

Why the Future of Farming is in Cities – The Big Money in Vertical Farming Venture City
You'll be seeing more and more high tech farms popping up in cities. As the population grows, and we run out of farming land, along with climate change, the future of farming is to bring them into our cities. Creating high tech vertical farms that use aeroponics or hydroponics. From an underground farm in London, to a Japanese office building with a rice paddy field. Across the world people and companies are investing in creating new ways and technology to provide a more sustainable future. Big name investors include Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Leonardo DiCaprio, and even the former McDonalds CEO Don Thompson. All pushing the technology of farming and agriculture forward. Companies highlighted in this video include: AeroFarms, Growing Underground, Square Roots (who have Kimbal Musk, brother of Elon Musk, as a co-founder), the Open Agriculture Initiative, Persona Group, Farm One, Bowery, Plenty, Impossible Foods, and Beyond Meat.

How Much Can Vertical Farming Improve? Exa Cognition
In the last video we saw the different types and the potential of vertical farming, but we also saw how it is mostly limited to leafy greens. How can we improve vertical farming to grow more types of food, and how big can the impact be? We saw how the most promising type of vertical farm is the plant factory, and how it is more advanced than a hydroponic greenhouse. Not only does its use hydroponics but it also utilizes artificial grow lights and multiple growing levels. It has a much greater level of control over it's environment, allowing it to boost yield. While Plant Factories might be the most viable version of vertical farming, is it going to be enough to impact the global issues? Agriculture is both a contributor and solution to major global issues, from climate change to world hunger. Can the plant factory help to solve these problems? What technology improvements are needed to make vertical farms profitable and sustainable? From the LED grow light, to solar energy, future tech will play a key role in reducing the cost and carbon footprint of this technology. But it's not just renewable wind energy that will improve the energy efficiency. There are many improvements that can be made and we look at them in this video. As technology improves, vertical farms can broaden the variety of crops grown profitably. The difference between growing lettuce and growing rice is significant. What will it take to close the gap? Find out next video.

Michio Kaku – The Future of the Mind – The Quest to Understand, Enhance, and Empower the Mind Cuckoo for Kaku
The Future of the Mind: The Scientific Quest to Understand, Enhance, and Empower the Mind $22.99 The New York Times best-selling author of Physics of the Impossible, Physics of the Future and Hyperspace tackles the most fascinating and complex object in the known universe: the human brain.
For the first time in history, the secrets of the living brain are being revealed by a battery of high-tech brain scans devised by physicists. Now what was once solely the province of science fiction has become a startling reality. Recording memories, telepathy, videotaping our dreams, mind control, avatars, and telekinesis are not only possible; they already exist.
The Future of the Mind gives us an authoritative and compelling look at the astonishing research being done in top laboratories around the world – all based on the latest advancements in neuroscience and physics. One day we might have a "smart pill" that can enhance our cognition; be able to upload our brain to a computer, neuron for neuron; send thoughts and emotions around the world on a "brain-net"; control computers and robots with our mind; push the very limits of immortality; and perhaps even send our consciousness across the universe.

Stamps, coins, should feature Canadians, not royals
Posted on January 21, 2016 April 21, 2018 by Wayne Adam
January 19, 2016 –Toronto A patriotic group seeking to give Canada its own head of state is calling on Canada Post to honour Canadians on its stamps instead of royalty in Britain. It's also asking the Mint to put Canadians on the head of Canadian coins–something the Mint has never done. The requests come from Republic Now after the release, last week, of a new stamp picturing Queen Elizabeth–the second one to feature her in just 17 weeks. The latest issue coincided with the birthday of John A. Macdonald, whom the organization says is a more fitting subject.
"When portraits are chosen for everyday Canadian stamps, those of historic Canadians should be used," says Republic Now spokesperson Wayne Adam. "If a stamp comes out on John A. Macdonald's birthday, the postal service should consider picturing him, not another image of Queen Elizabeth. British royalty has been wildly overexposed on our stamps, impeding Canadians who might otherwise have been honoured."
In the 165 years since we've had postage stamps in this country, no Canadian has been on a regular (definitive) first-class stamp. Not one. Elizabeth Windsor, as a princess or queen, has appeared on some 76 Canadian stamps, sometimes on multiple issues in a single year. By contrast, Macdonald, the chief architect of Confederation, has appeared on just four stamps in the past 89 years, and never on a first-class definitive.
A national stamp program that presumably strives to balance numerous competing stamp topics seems to have lost all rationality when it comes to royalty. Recent years have seen multiple stamps for Prince William, Kate Middleton and Prince George. Stamps have been issued for a royal engagement, a wedding, a birth, a tour of Ottawa, a 100th birthday, anniversaries of accession, coronation, jubilees (silver, golden, diamond)–and last September, the longest reign of a British–not a Canadian–monarch.
Moreover, post office rules insist regular queen stamps be featured at every postal outlet's countertop display.
Canada Post contends its stamps offer something for everyone. That is not a rationale for a fixation on foreign royals. Canadian stamps should celebrate Canadians and their achievements, not the milestones of a famous British family. Let Britain's Royal Mail do that.
Beyond that, the cost of constant designs, approvals, and production of new Elizabethan stamps is unnecessary when existing stockpiles can be used and reprinted, if needed. Their Permanent ("P") denomination means new stamps are not required for rate changes. For an agency that says it's being squeezed into cutting costs, including reducing door-to-door delivery, obvious savings can be had by halting the seemingly never-ending tributes to the House of Windsor.
"Every time our stamps picture a British royal, we deflect a high honour overseas, and lose a chance to honour a Canadian," says Adam. "The stamps and coins of an independent nation on the eve of its 150th anniversary should celebrate its own people and achievements, not those living in the palaces of a foreign country."
Elsewhere, the Royal Canadian Mint has *never* featured a Canadian on the head of a Canadian coin in its 108-year history. Republic Now calls on the Mint to reverse this policy, saluting Canadians on the obverse of all its coins.
"As we marked John Macdonald's 201st birthday," says Adam, "it's unfathomable that his effigy has never graced the front of a Canadian coin. The Mint creates dozens of designs every year, but has never seized the chance to cheer a Canadian on the obverse of a single coin. It's baffling, and it needs to change." Even Jamaica, which shares Elizabeth as its queen, puts national heroes on its coins.
Republic Now urges people to contact the Stamp Advisory Committee at Canada Post (stamps@canadapost.ca) and the Royal Canadian Mint (themes@mint.ca) to support a moratorium on British royalty on our stamps and coins, and it welcomes new members who feel the same.
Republic Now is a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization advocating a Canadian head of state — one who shares our citizenship, lives in this country, and is chosen by Canada in a democratic way.

Cristiano Ronaldo in race to be fit in time for Tottenham clash
Real Madrid forward's hamstring strain means he is a doubt Champions League showdown with Spurs
By Martin Caparrotta
Sunday 20 March 2011, 15:40 UK
Cristiano Ronaldo will be out for "between two and three weeks" Photo: Real Madrid CF
Cristiano Ronaldo could miss Real Madrid's Champions League quarter-final clash with Tottenham Hotspur after aggravating a hamstring injury in Saturday's Madrid derby.
The 26-year-old forward, who has already netted 37 goals for Real this season, is yet to complete 90 minutes following his return to action against Lyon last week after missing two games with a hamstring strain.
He has started Real's last two matches but only played around 70 minutes in both, and the fresh setback could see him ruled out of the Champions League clash with Spurs on 5 April at the Bernabeu.
A club statement said he is likely to be out for "between two to three weeks, depending on his progress".
"I'm not 100 per cent fit and it was a difficult game for me," said Ronaldo after his side's 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid.
"Those who know me could tell I wasn't myself during the match, especially in the second half. I think I've got an injury of some sort. We'll see what shows up in the scan."
Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid remain eight points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona despite their win after Pep Guardiola's men beat Getafe 2-1 earlier on Saturday.

Q: Column name repetition in pandas data frame I am trying to read some data but the column names are repeatedly coming.
Here is a sample code:
for i in range(1, len(df_A2C), 1):
    A2C_TT= df_A2C.loc[(df_A2C['TO_ID'] == i)].sort_values('DURATION_H').head(1)
    if A2C_TT.size > 0:
        print (A2C_TT)

Output:

I do not need column names. What should I do?

A: You may simply call the values method after head:
for i in range(1, len(df_A2C), 1):
    A2C_TT= df_A2C.loc[(df_A2C['TO_ID'] == i)].sort_values('DURATION_H').head(1).values
    if A2C_TT.size > 0:
        print (A2C_TT)

EDIT:
On a side note, I think that you may get away without iterating over your pandas dataframe.
I created an example dataframe to illustrate this:
df = pd.DataFrame()
df['COL_A'] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 6, 6]
df['COL_B'] = [100,200,666,200, 451, 42, 1664, 1665]

Below is your snippet modified for this dataframe:
for i in range(1, len(df), 1):
    A2C_TT= df.loc[(df['COL_A'] == i)].sort_values('COL_B').head(1)
    if A2C_TT.size > 0:
        print (A2C_TT)

I think that you may simply sort by COL_A (your TO_ID) and then by COL_B (your DURATION_H) and then group by COL_A, taking the first value in each group:
df.sort_values(['COL_A', 'COL_B'], ascending=[True,True]).groupby('COL_A').first()

Both snippets output the same dataframe:
    COL_B
COL_A
1   42
2   200
3   666
4   200
5   451
6   1664

Impeach Judge Gregory: He Has Violated His Oath
Roger's Rules
By Roger Kimball 2017-05-30T15:40:48
Inquiring minds want to know: Can the chief judge of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals read?
We know that he can copy down or transcribe words. But reading implies comprehension, which is something else. In Les mots, his autobiography, Jean-Paul Sartre recalls how when he was "seven or eight" he would play at writing. He "invented nothing," but merely transcribed other people's stories, altering a name here, a detail there. "This cold-blooded plagiarism," Sartre recalls, was liberating: "[E]verything was necessarily true because I invented nothing."
Judge Roger Gregory, of course, is involved in a different literary genre. But reading his majority opinion for International Refugee Assistance Project v. Donald J. Trump, one wonders whether he was not, in effect, taking dictation. Judge Gregory held for the plaintiff, affirming the lower court's nationwide injunction against Donald Trump's "Executive Order Protecting The Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States." But is there any evidence in that opinion that Judge Gregory read and understood that executive order? He writes that although the EO "speaks with vague words of national security," "in context" it "drips with religious intolerance, animus, and discrimination."
But as Judge Paul Niemeyer notes in his vigorous dissent, Trump's executive order "undisputedly contains no facial reference to religion," i.e., religion is not mentioned.
Then again, Judge Gregory cites Kleindienst v. Mandel, the 1972 case that, as many commentators have noted, provides the governing precedent for the issue under dispute: whether the president has the authority to bar certain non-citizens from entering the United States. But as Judge Niemeyer also noted, Judge Gregory's opinion, while it mentions Mandel, in fact "refused to apply" its central finding: that courts must not "look behind ... 'facially legitimate and bona fide' exercises of executive discretion in the immigration context to discern other possible purposes." In other words, a court may not adduce things a candidate said on the campaign trail as a reason to vacate a properly formed executive order the candidate issued when president.
The lower court, Niemeyer argued, "seriously erred" in at least three ways:
(1) by refusing to apply the Supreme Court's decision in Mandel; (2) by fabricating a new proposition of law -- indeed, a new rule -- that provides for the consideration of campaign statements to recast a later-issued executive order; and (3) by radically extending Supreme Court Establishment Clause precedents. The district court's approach is not only unprecedented, it is totally unworkable and inappropriate under any standard of analysis.
But how are we to understand Judge Gregory's incapacity? Two possibilities present themselves. One is simple incompetence. He cannot read.
The other is thoroughgoing partisanship: he cannot judge because parti pris has already determined his conclusion before he considers the evidence.
In either case, he should either resign or be impeached and removed from office.
Every federal judge swears an oath to "administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and … [to] faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me … under the Constitution and laws of the United States."
This Judge Gregory has ostentatiously failed to do. The law, it is said, is no respecter of persons. But the fury directed against Trump's executive order calling for a pause on immigration from certain countries is all about persons, i.e., Donald Trump. As an ACLU lawyer acknowledged, had the very same executive order been issued by Hillary Clinton, it would have been just fine.
Just think about what an abyss such reasoning would open up before us. If the law were to be applied not on the basis of what it said but rather because of the personal preferences of those framing, executing, or adjudicating the law -- what then?
Chaos, that's what. Or, more precisely, the triumph of naked power over the law.
There has been a lot of talk about impeachment since November 9, 2016. A left-leaning fellow in my neighborhood has even taken to wearing a hat with an acronym beginning "IT." The first word stands for "Impeach." You know what the second word stands for. (The result of the acronym stands for something unprintable in a family-oriented outlet.)
But if asked what Trump should be impeached for, none of the people baying for his blood can supply a coherent answer. "Russia" won't wash, and indeed that rationale is deliquescing like the Cheshire Cat before our eyes.
There is a compact but admonitory list of judges who have been impeached since the early days of the republic. Only a small percentage have actually been convicted by the Senate and removed. The reasons for impeachment run the gamut from drunkenness on the bench to bribery, incompetence, and abuse of power.
It is possible that Judge Gregory is merely incompetent. In that case, although he deserves our pity, he should be removed from office quietly and without ostentation.
But I suspect naked partisanship, not incompetence. If that is the case, he deserves our anger and our contempt. For he has violated a most sacred secular trust and should be publicly impeached, convicted by the Senate, and removed from office.

Well, it is that time of the month again and very timely too given all that is going on in Egypt. I should really be featuring Tahiya who was very engaged politically but I had a picture of her and Farid in my previous post, so, am going with the other great dancer of that time, Samia Gamal, in a very early film where you also get some of the film action (sorry if you are not an Arabic speaker) and a divine dance with the camera focusing on her beautiful midriff to start then panning to her shadow then finally on her and the motley drooling men watching her. One of my favourite clips of hers. I need to find the film (Agaza fi Gahanam, 1949) and show it at Koshari Street. Very soon we will have screens in there to show classic black & white Egyptian films and street food scenes from around the world!
I finished the year with my favourite dancer and I start the new one with my second favourite dancer, Samia Gamal, at the height of her fame when she was 30 years old and still had a wonderful body — there were periods when she was quite fat (at least by my standards). Anyhow, her movements are sinuous and graceful, and never vulgar. She did have an irritating habit though and that was her permanent wide fixed smile that seemed silly at times. Not here though!


Below, we take a look at Charles River Laboratories (CRL - Free Report)	, which currently has a Momentum Style Score of B. We also discuss some of the main drivers of the Momentum Style Score, like price change and earnings estimate revisions.
It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Charles River Laboratories currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B outperform the market over the following one-month period.
Let's discuss some of the components of the Momentum Style Score for CRL that show why this medical research equipment and services provider shows promise as a solid momentum pick.
For CRL, shares are up 2.99% over the past week while the Zacks Medical Services industry is down 1.95% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 3.91% compares favorably with the industry's 0.12% performance as well.
While any stock can see its price increase, it takes a real winner to consistently beat the market. That is why looking at longer term price metrics -- such as performance over the past three months or year -- can be useful as well. Shares of Charles River Laboratories have increased 20.32% over the past quarter, and have gained 36.45% in the last year. In comparison, the S&P 500 has only moved 14.25% and 11.02%, respectively.
Investors should also pay attention to CRL's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. CRL is currently averaging 343,168 shares for the last 20 days.
The Zacks Momentum Style Score also takes into account trends in estimate revisions, in addition to price changes. Please note that estimate revision trends remain at the core of Zacks Rank as well. A nice path here can help show promise, and we have recently been seeing that with CRL.
Over the past two months, 9 earnings estimates moved higher compared to 1 lower for the full year.
