D.C. Council Members Propose Soda Excise Tax
by Sam P.K. Collins October 16, 2019 December 21, 2021
In their latest attempt to curb soda consumption, and ultimately the soda industry's influence in low-income communities, several D.C. Council members have garnered the support of local nonprofits and grassroots organizations, some of which have framed food insecurity as a matter of public safety.
Earlier this month, D.C. Council members Brianne Nadeau (D- Ward 1), Mary Cheh (D-Ward 3), Trayon White (D-Ward 8), and six of their colleagues introduced the Healthy Beverage Choices Amendment Act. If approved, it would replace the 8 percent sales tax on sodas and sugary drinks with a $0.015-per-ounce excise tax, the revenue from which would fund healthy food initiatives, child care, and recreation programs.
For Ronnie Webb, head of the Green Scheme, and an affiliate of the Don't Mute My Health movement, the policy aligns with ongoing efforts to increase healthy food access for people living in the eastern part of the District. On October 8, surrounded by his son, fellow coalition members, and Council members Cheh, Nadeau, and White, Webb decried what he described as the beverage industry's overwhelming presence in the District's food deserts.
Our House D.C. WIN Daily
"I'm scared for my son's future. He is a young Black child, and they tend to consume more sugary drinks and have access to less healthy drinks," Webb said from the front steps of the John A. Wilson Building in Northwest. "It's a design and plan by the industry to target young people like [my son] Josh when they turn on the television and walk into the corner stores. Neighborhoods in Wards 5,7, and 8 have [most of the] ads."
On October 1, the 8 percent sales tax on soda and sugary drinks went into effect. The increase from 6 percent will expand free-breakfast programs at schools and recreation centers and support a fruit and vegetable voucher program. The sales tax increase didn't shake the soda lobby; sales tax, unlike excise tax, gets added at the register instead of on the product.
Supporters of the excise tax said the increase is designed to curtail soda and sugary drink consumption while increasing that of water and healthier beverages. However, some people like Sharece Crawford, contend that by that time, people in communities east of the Anacostia River would have doled out several dollars.
That's why she said accountability measures must be put in place to ensure the funds are used correctly.
"I have questions about where the dollars are going and how do we not disenfranchise the most impacted by increasing costs," said Crawford, a communications strategist and former ANC commissioner of Single-Member Districts 8E03 and 8E04, located in Congress Heights. "I'm for food equity [but if] people are getting taxed, I think we need to make sure that the language is right and every dollar comes back."
A Virginia Commonwealth University study last year found that residents of upper Northwest live at least 15 years longer than their counterparts east of the Anacostia River. In low-income communities where sodas and other sugary foods cost less than fruits and vegetables, people often develop diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and other chronic illnesses.
In 2010, Cheh proposed similarly crafted excise tax legislation that failed to pass by one vote. In the years since food insecurity has increasingly become a part of the dialogue about chronic illness in low-income communities. As the Healthy Beverage Choices Amendment Act advances through the council, some supporters, like Dr. Yolandra Hancock, said they have employed a strategy focused on D.C. residents more so than the soda and sugary drink lobby.
"This is about educating people about the impact of sugary drinks and sugary drink alternatives. It's not that we don't have access to those alternatives, but [the problem] is getting them," said Dr. Hancock, a professor at the George Washington University's Milken Institute School of Public Health.
"I grew up in an income-challenged environment, but [during that time] sugar drinks were more expensive than water. The problems happened when we shifted that ratio. When we engage the community, that's where the change starts to happen."

So far Hugh has created 74 blog entries.
I just hosted my first webinar, talking about the relationship between Agile development and UX. It was a good talk, but to someone used to live audiences the experience of speaking out into the great ether is slightly unnerving. I made like an old-time radio announcer (do they still have those?) and it was fine.
Hugh Beyer presents five concrete and proven actions UX groups can take to ensure that a user-centered focus is not lost.
A report from Agile 2012: on beyond Agile.
One of the ongoing questions in Agile development is whether and how much up-front design needs to be done. This is my perspective.


Oh the famous J. Crew herringbone vest, that I believe EVERYONE has in their closet! It is such a staple piece to have & goes with so many things. I just got these olive green pants & adore them just as much as these black ones, that I wore here. They are not a jean material, so they stretch & are comfy. I got this sweater at the N Sale, it's a cute sweater, but the quality just isn't there. Luckily I got it on sale because I probably would have returned it. Gap & Old Navy are usually my go to for sweaters & the cost is always amazing with their discounts!
I am still a little under the weather, but heading out to do some errands. Thanks so much for reading!
I need this vest! So adorable!!
Hey Bri! Thanks so much & yes you do!!

Humane Society to host benefit concert
By Dustin Fox Times Staff Writer
A night of live music, dancing and food will be hosted at the Venue at Coosa Landing on Friday to benefit the Humane Society Pet Rescue and Adoption Center. A silent auction will also be held during the biggest fundraiser for the shelter this year.
The Swingin' Medallions are set to perform during the concert. HSPRAC marketing director Jessica Millican said that the band, known for their song "Double Shot (Of My Baby's Love)", always put on a good show.
"They're a big brass band and they sing all different types of tunes," she said, adding that "they have a big history in Gadsden," as they have performed several times with the local Tyn Tymes band.
Dinner from the Gridiron will also be provided, as well as a number of items up for grabs during a silent auction. Attendees will be able to bid on a trip to Cabo San Lucas, items from Back Forty Beer Company, gift certificates to local restaurants, a treatment of Botox from the Myers Institute of Plastic and Hand Surgery, a gift basket from King's Olive Oil and a massage through Therapeutic Healing Massage Spa, amongst other items.
Funds raised for the event will go towards the animal shelter. Millican said the funds will be used to "support [the animals] and get them adopted to good homes." She also said the funds will help the shelter continue to educate the community on spaying and neutering their pets.
The benefit concert will be held at the Venue at Coosa Landing on June 28, with doors opening at 6 p.m.
Tickets are $50 and can be purchased at the door or by visiting the Humane Society in advance. They can also be purchased at http://www.hsprac.com.
For those who are interested in supporting the shelter but are unable to attend Friday's event, Millican said donations can be made on their website and the shelter can accept donations of Purina Puppy, Dog, Kitten or Cat Chow foods, as well as cleaning supplies.
Still, Millican and the staff at the Humane Society are excited for the concert, and she expects it to be a good event.
"It's going to be a lot of fun," she said. "We hope to see everyone there."

H2 Applications
Hydrogen Sources
Eco Alert
Each year, globally over 60 million tonnes of hydrogen are used in diverse ways: chemical reactions, transport, hydrogen stations, heating (source: Afhypac). This is the equivalent of 1/4 of global methane production – noting that the most common means of producing hydrogen is from methane.
One kg of hydrogen provides sufficient electricity to run the average Belgian household for three days.
Hydrogen is best considered as an energy 'vector'. That is, before hydrogen can be used to provide electricity, the hydrogen must first be dissociated from the molecules in which it is found – typically in water (H2O), in organic molecules found in compost, in natural gas, oil or in alga. No matter what the production process, the use of hydrogen leads only to water as a bi-product.
1. Steam reforming
The most common industrial process to produce hydrogen is the steam reforming of natural gas. The main component of natural gas is methane (CH4). At high temperatures (between 700 and 1100°C), water vapour reacts with methane to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen. This mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide is commonly referred to as 'synthetic gas'. If the process is undertaken in the presence of excess water vapour, the carbon monoxide is further oxidized to yield carbon dioxide, which also leads to additional hydrogen production. The hydrogen is then purified under high pressures (20 Atmospheres). In this process, for each kg of hydrogen produced, 10kg of CO2 are emitted.
2. Electrolysis of water with platinum
The alternative approach to produce hydrogen, which is carbon neutral (i.e. leads to no carbon emissions) is through the electrolysis of water. This is the decomposition of water, using an electric current, into oxygen and hydrogen molecules. The electrolytic cell consists of two electrodes – usually inert metals such as platinum – immerged in water and connected to a continuous source of electricity.
3. Electrolysis of water with enzymes
Electrolysis is a method of producing hydrogen from water with the help of electric current. The electrolytic cell consists of two electrodes – usually inert metals such as platinum, a precious and expensive metal and which is responsible for the high production cost of electrolysers. "Using enzymes to replace platinum is a cost effective alternative to reduce costs and improve profits in the production of hydrogen form water", assures Dr. Philippe Lorge – president of H2life foundation and director of development project of enzymatic electrolyser and fuel cell. Enzymes are catalytic proteins naturally present in vegetables and animals and can also be synthesized industrially.
For this project, Dr. Lorge got inspired by the natural process of photosynthesis – more precisely the first stage of photosynthesis. This consists of using solar energy and the photosynthetic enzymes to dissociate the elements (H and O) in the water. This method – termed enzymolysis or enzymatic electrolysis– is a renewable and a cyclical biological processes - the elements in the water are dissociated and then re-associated whilst the energy is produced.

A Green St. Charles Streetcar travels through an oak tree shaded section of the Garden District. St. Charles Avenue in New Orleans, Louisiana, is the home of the St. Charles Streetcar Line. These green streetcars are one of New Orleans' most visually iconic links to the past. Registered as National Historic Landmarks, New Orleans first started using streetcars in 1835, more than 180 years ago! Making this the oldest continuously run route for such transit in the world. The 900 series streetcars were first put into service in the 1920s. The Southern live oak trees, plentiful in the historic Garden District, were planted during the early twentieth century and stretch more than five miles before terminating near the river at South Carrollton Avenue.

What, asks Paul Scully, is holding local authorities back?
Local government has been at the sharp end of the Government's drive to cut the structural deficit, with a further decrease in their Settlement Funding Assessment of 13.9% in the 2015/16 local government settlement. This is at a time the Localism Act led the way in pushing decision making closer to the people affected. By the very nature of localism, councils responded in different ways to the added responsibilities, challenges and threats that were brought about by devolving power. The challenge, especially for the Conservative Party, who holds 40% of the total number of council seats, is to be able to recruit, train, equip and retain the very best people at a local level who can think strategically and make the most of the opportunities on offer through devolved power.
At the heart of Conservatism is the drive to greater freedom, trusting people with meaningful choices and decision-making rather than a centralised state run by diktat. Localism offers that opportunity but is mistrusted by some local authorities for two reasons: lack of vision and a roadblock to further devolution.
Localism is not clearly defined. The underlying premise, known as the General Power of Competence, allows councils to do "anything that individuals generally may do". Essentially this removes the restriction that permitted local authorities only to do things for which they had specific statutory powers. Previously anything else was deemed to be ultra vires. This leaves an incredibly wide area for councils to cast their net. Officers who are used to running de facto branch offices of central government and councillors who act as the patricians of old will likely miss opportunities that will be snapped up by their more entrepreneurial counterparts in a neighbouring authority.
While many local authorities welcome the opportunities afforded by a localist agenda, some are concerned when decision making is pushed further down than the local authority or they are bypassed entirely. Some are happy for devolution to come to a juddering halt at the town hall. Many of the most successful reforms to public services under the Coalition, continued with the Conservative government, have councils as a partner or facilitator rather than as provider. Free schools and academies have cut out the middle management of local education authorities, clinical commissioning groups work alongside 'health and wellbeing boards' in areas such as public health.
There are hundreds of councillors up and down the country who will not be fazed by these changes, seeing them as a real opportunity to get stuck in and shape their local area as councils move from a large organisation that provides everything, to a sleeker outfit that takes a strategic lead. However, there will be some councillors who risk being left behind without the comfort of a blueprint to follow. This can be masked in the short term in a local authority with a set of top-quality officers but will soon be found out. The role of councillors has to change to reflect the moving landscape of local government.
The Conservative Party needs to make sure it is at the forefront of that change to ensure that there is no hiatus between the change in greater local decision-making and having councillors in place that can fully grasp the opportunities that this brings.
Conservative thinking need not be limited to policy; our approach, critical thinking and effective system planning, is just as crucial in delivering a Conservative agenda. We believe in the free market, free choice and trusting people. Smaller government would naturally lead to individuals and community groups taking greater responsibility; our instinct to lower taxes whenever possible stems from a belief that people can make better decisions as to how to spend their own money than government. Similarly, pushing decisionmaking closer to those affected is a freemarket approach to governance.
In order to make this work without an anarchic free-for-all or a slow retreat back to Whitehall centralisation, we need local representatives that understand this and can make it work for their local area. In the same way that turnout is often low for local elections, many local associations find it hard to recruit new talent. Plenty of people do not see the local council as being an important part of their life, despite it being in control of most day to day, visible local services. Greater responsibility can lead to making the role more attractive, although that responsibility will be strategic, bringing together public services such as the police, the local hospital, CCGs, academy schools, charities, community groups, local businesses et al, all to help shape the locale. That is not an easy thing to manage. It is far easier to nod through a committee report written by the Chief Executive after asking a few searching questions.
In 2007, Stephen Greenhalgh, then leader of Hammersmith & Fulham council wrote a pamphlet, Mind of a manager, soul of a leader, art of a politician, taking a wellknown business self-improvement book and adding the third strand to best describe a truly effective councillor. Those three points should be the starting requirement of the selection process for council candidates with as wide a net cast as possible to encourage original thinking in local government.
If localism is to be realised, if local economies are to be reinvigorated and if good quality public services are to be assured, then the role of the councillor must be more positively supported by giving their recruitment, preparation and skill development greater attention. Tomorrow's Councillor, a 2012 report that I co-authored with Christina Dykes (and published on the ConservativeHome website) got its name through our belief that tomorrow's councillors should be able to walk tall. Then their worth will be seen in its true light as keeper of public services, shaper of the local area, and enabler and voice of local communities.
Councillors should be fully supported as the first line political operators that they are. In return, councillors should be more proactive in looking for opportunities, be risk-aware rather than risk-averse, and be agents of change rather than being regulators of change. There are many examples of such work; there are many, many talented and dedicated councillors working all hours for their community. The challenge for those leading council groups or preparing to select the next slate of Conservative council candidates is to keep the pace in moving forward, look ahead to the next twenty years and help keep Conservatives at the front of the pack in shaping a successful new era of local government in what will be for some time to come a tough environment in which to work.

This set of MATLAB Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on "Modeling – 1".
1. What has been modelled in the following Simulink screenshot?
Explanation: Since the step function is given as an input to the system whose transfer function is s, the above screenshot shows the modelling of a system whose impulse response is a step function while the input is also a step function. The graph suggests that step time is 0.
2. The system, that has been modelled in the following Simulink screenshot has ___ initial conditions.
Explanation: We note that the ramp function does not start from 0 at t=0. This implies that it has some initial conditions.
3. Digital systems ______ in Simulink.
Explanation: Logic systems and bitwise operator section under Simulink provides the user with a multitude of operators for digital system. MATLAB also has HDL doe verifier.
Explanation: The logical operations present are AND, NOT, OR, NAND, NOR, XOR and XNOR. Hence, the correct option is 7.
Explanation: By clicking the head of the arrow, we can drag it and change it's direction. Also we change the alignment of the body by keeping the cursor pressed on the arrow body, while moving that part of the body. It does show on the screen, i.e. it's head and it's tail.
6. The output at scope 1 is?
Explanation: The derivative of the step function is 0. This is because the step function has a constant amplitude.
7. What have we modelled here?
Explanation: The output of the derivative block will be 0. Hence this system shows a model of the event described in capacitor which is blocking DC. Note that to model option inductor which is blocking AC, we need an integrator which takes a high frequency sinusoid.
8. What can be the possible limitation of this block?
Explanation: The system having more zeros than poles is extremely unstable and not realizable. Hence, this is the only possible limitation of the given block.
Explanation: In the window, which contains the graph obtained from the scope block- there is the option of Configuration Properties in the View option. We can modify the limits of both axis from that segment. The layout and style options don't contain the axes.
10. For this block, the early voltage is always infinite.
Explanation: The Early voltage can be specified amongst the parameters of the NPN B.J.T. It can also be put to Infinite for the sake of calculations- though it never happens in reality.


Crackdown in India-administered Kashmir in bid to prevent 'Million March' called to protest weekend visit by Indian PM.
Authorities in India-administered Kashmir have cracked down on hundreds of political activists and pro-independence leaders ahead of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the region.
Modi will hold a public rally in the restive Himalayan territory on November 7 where rebels and pro-independence groups have called for a counter 'Million March' on the pattern of a similar campaign held recently in the US.
"India has responded to our peaceful march with sheer force. But we will try to reach the venue with one million people," Syed Ali Shah Geelani, the region's top pro-independence leader told Al Jazeera.
Geelani, who is under house-detention, has called for a such a march supported by all pro-independence parties and over a dozen rebel groups who are fighting for independence, or merger of the territory with Pakistan.
"We don't want to sabotage his [Modi's] rally but we want to remind the world about 18 UN resolutions on Kashmir that promise right of self-determination to Kashmiris," he said.
In the past few days, Indian police have raided several places across the region to detain political leaders and activists ahead of the visit.
Authorities have also blocked more than a dozen pages on social networking sites that were promoting the protest rally, while a complete blockade of internet, phones, roads and highways is expected on Saturday.
"We don't want to take any chance. Known stone throwers and protesters have been detained while tight security measures are in place for the prime minister's visit," a top security official who wished to remain anonymous, told Al Jazeera.
Authorities fear the proposed march could cause a repetition of the huge anti-India rallies that rocked the region in 2008 and 2010 together, for months.
On Wednesday, Indian police raided a scheduled news conference of Hilal War, another pro-independence leader, before seizing him and his campaigners.
War's People's Political Party (PPP) has voiced support for the 'Million March,' saying: "Situations like these are in themselves a referendum to suggest what Kashmiris want."
Members of another influential pro-independence party, the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), which is led by Yasin Malik, told Al Jazeera that police have detained "our 150 activists over their support of the 'Million March'."
"The top rung of our party is caged, while the mid-level and low-level activists have gone underground," one of the party leaders told Al Jazeera from an undisclosed location over the phone.
Saturday's trip marks Modi's first visit to the Kashmir Valley since his right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the local pro-India Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), assumed power in the 2014 local assembly polls.
The PDP leaders have billed his visit as a "turning point" in the history of Kashmir.
"Modi's visit will offer fresh impetus to the 'Agenda of Alliance' between both parties which have political and economic aspects," the PDP's chief spokesperson, Mehboob Beg, told Al Jazeera.
The PDP expects the announcement of a financial package of $13.7bn for public infrastructure and for the victims of devastating floods last year, which caused an estimated $17bn of damage to homes and businesses.
"We are also looking forward to ending hostility with Pakistan with which we could have friendly ties," Beg said, while recalling former Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's visit to Kashmir in 2003, in which he offered to hold talks on all disputes with Pakistan.
Beg supported the government curb on pro-independence activists, saying: "Anything that disturbs the prime minister's visit will not be allowed."
India has stationed thousands of troops in Kashmir as part of a decades-old confrontation with Pakistan, which also claims the region.
Both the nuclear-armed Asian rivals have fought two of their three wars over the control of Kashmir since 1947, when the British left the sub-continent.
Nearly 100,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed and thousands have disappeared during the armed revolt and subsequent military operations since 1989.

Sister Anthony O'Connell Auxiliary #10, Dept. of Ohio
About SAOCA
The Auxiliary to the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) is a fraternal organization dedicated to preserving the history and legacy of heroes who fought and worked to save the Union 1861-1865. The SUVCW was organized in 1881 and chartered by Congress in 1954, as the legal successor to the Grand Army of the Republic.
The need for an Auxiliary was recognized immediately and through the efforts of Major A. P. Davis, the first Ladies Aid Society was organized at Philadelphia in 1883, and in the following year was officially recognized as their Auxiliary. Ladies Aid Societies were formed in several States in rapid succession and in 1886 plans for a National Organization were formed, with the first National Encampment being held in Akron, Ohio, in September 1887. At the National Encampment at Boston, Massachusetts in 1894, the name was changed to the Sons of Union Veterans Auxiliary, with it eventually becoming known as the Auxiliary to Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War.
Our members work alongside the SUVCW during special events, ceremonies, and presentations.
Sister Anthony O'Connell Auxiliary No. 10 was founded in 2013 and is the official Auxiliary to the General William H Lytle Camp #10 in Cincinnati and the Major William T Sherman Camp #93 in Dayton, Ohio, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW). It is one of six auxiliaries comprising the Department of Ohio.
We take part in annual Memorial Day celebrations and various living history and educational and patriotic events throughout the year. We seek to educate and keep alive the memories of our ancestors – the "Boys in Blue".
Our patriotic service is focused on veterans primarily through our "Sisters Supporting Women Veterans" project.
We are available to speak and teach when requested.
"Their blood runs in our veins. We cannot, we will not forget"
"Through this organization, the declining days of the Union Veteran will be made pleasant, his record of service to his country preserved, his memory honored, patriotism promoted. ~Major Augustus P. Davis, December 1881"

Kinda late, but after seeing the MU chart, myself not agreeing with some matchups and actually playing those characters a bit from other players.
If you wish to see The Original Match Up Chart.
For How they rated Yoshi's Match ups, Feast your Eyes on it below.
So after awhile I thought this list was pretty accurate. But after about Three Tournaments since the chart was released, I started getting a different view on quite a few characters.
Opinion: 0/Even - Despite myself only playing 4 Peaches and one of them being Illmatic. I still see this as A possibly Even matchup depending on how hard we read Peach, if we correctly camp her, Space Bairs like we do with ZSS, and outspace ourselves from Peach's moves. Probably just me being biased, but in my MM with Illmatic I always got him to last stock last hit, even on game 2 I DownB'ed him but his USmash came out first so he got the hit on me yet I somehow got the Hit on him as well.
Opinion: 0/Even - Of course i've never played any real Sheik mains since the only Sheik players i've gone up against is Polt's Sheilda, and Nike's Sheik. What I notice is, as long as we don't play stupidly, Try to challenge her offstage, and leave ourselves open using moves with alot of lag (Like Egg throw DSmash or DownB). I could see this as an Even MU.
Opinion: +1/Small Advantage - I think it's +1 our Favor, I don't have any good reasons since i've only played 1 Ness player that doesn't main him. But Camping, Egglay, getting USmashes out of GR, Avoiding Dair as much as possible, and being careful not to run into Ness's Retreating Fair is pretty much what I do to win this MU.
Opinion: -1/Small Disadvantage - Only played 1 Diddy main and probably 5 others who uses him for a secondary.
All the Nanner shenanigans we have can pretty much control this MU a bit better than most characters, of course we don't have as much control as Diddy does with Glide tossing and such. Just like ROB and us having the Gyro and basically controlling the MU a bit more, If we keep even One nanner in our hands we should be able to handle Diddy Pretty well.
These are just my opinions, don't rage too hard in this very late thread.
Cause as long as the Luigi outreads us, he has this in the bag.
One thing that jumped out at me reading this post. This says nothing about the match-up; it just means that from your experience in the match-up, your opponent outplayed you.
Made me laugh, not gonna lie.
Surprised people agree with that so easily.
Of course he outplayed me, It's Big Lou.
I don't have much to be writing a small writeup in the opening. But i'll state a few things I noticed.
You must namesearch Lucario to be in our humble board.
I just look at what people post in the BBR MU charts around, that is all.
Shiek 0/Even - Of course i've never played any real Shiek mains since the only Shiek players i've gone up against is Polt's Shielda, and Nike's Shiek. What I notice is, as long as we don't play stupidly, Try to challenge her offstage, and leave ourselves open using moves with alot of lag (Like Egg throw DSmash or DownB). I could see this as an Even MU.
Ness +1/Small Advantage - I think it's +1 our Favor, I don't have any good reasons since i've only played 1 Ness player that doesn't main him. But Camping, Egglay, getting USmashes out of GR, Avoiding Dair as much as possible, and being careful not to run into Ness's Retreating Fair is pretty much what I do to win this MU.
Diddy Kong - Only played 1 Diddy main and probably 5 others who uses him for a secondary.
Luigi - I've played 3 Luigi mains, One of them being The only Luigi main i've played (But might as well be the Only one needed) is Big Lou. He almost 3 stocked me in our matches back at MLG Dallas, and despite being pretty light and having the sliding problem. I still see this as his Favor by just -1. Cause as long as the Luigi outreads us, he has this in the bag.
Sheik****** THE 'I' BEFORE 'E' HAS QUITE A FEW EXCEPTIONS; LOOK AT THE CSS BEFORE YOU SPELL. I can't STAND when people misspell Sheik.
Ness: I can run with that.
Diddy Kong: I'd agree with -1.
Luigi: NEVER land next to him. NEVER approach him. NEVER fight him head on. NEVER be NEAR his general proximity when you don't have your double jump. That kind of stuff.
Also, after watching that set, I didn't see Polt gimping you, which is basically the main reason why it's not in our favor. Keep in mind that one of the reasons why Metaknight is a -2 is because he can gimp us slightly better than Sheik.
That's why I don't think many of our MU's are that bad. People just try to use MU ratios as a crutch to close skill gaps between them and who they lose to, and I hear about it ALLLLL the time.
Well, it's a damn frustrating MU, mainly because your Dair beats out both our Usmash AND our Uair, which are 2 of our 3 best kill moves. It could possibly be -2, but every single tactic that all of our off-the-wall Yoshis have come up with haven't proven as effective for the MU as we'd like to see.
Your Uair out-ranges our dair, but the spacing really hard.
I knew I had it right the first time... I hovered my mouse over Sheik and the icon shows "Shiek"
I guess i'll edit it after this post.
Yeah... his moves ***** me. I now know despite not being D3, Might as well camp him all day.
The only Tourney set (Outside of Laurel's Ragequit) that was recorded was him winning. He won game 1, I won game 2 (which wasn't saved), Game 3 (I forget) I went through the ledge and lava of Brinstar which made me lose the match. Also notice how I have "Sheild" next to Polts name. He doesn't go full sheik against Yoshi.
Gotta love Lucario and his Aura.
I've been meaning to play Trela just to see how hard Lucario is, but by the time both of us were at our 2nd stock back at WHOBO 3. Our matches were called and we had to end our friendly. I kept forgetting to ask him if he wished to continue our match.
Lucario is very winnable, which makes it hard to put an exact ratio.
Like whenever i used to paly stauffy they would always be last hit.
When i played l33 mart1n u may notice we are pretty much completely even in the beginning. The problem comes when you make mistakes and get killed first, and its very nerve racking to play against lucario with aura as lucario, especially when its so hard to get those usmashes and uairs (and down bs really, because his roll away is so fast).
Ness is definately not our advantage.
Ness is quite difficult to grab, punishes quite hard, and kills probably easier than we do. We would definately lose if it wasnt for GR usmash and uair, which allow us to keep up and exceed his damage output.
In my opinion Yoshi has a -1 disadvantage against Peach.
You took me to last hit game two slush, not game one.
I could see how you think it's +1/0 in your favor though Slush, you are best at the matchup after all.
Ness: Ness is even. I don't see any big advantage we could have in this mu, and I don't see anythig drastic on his side either. I played FOW at Las Vegas and he used straight ness against me, but I lost 3-1 in the money match. Then again, my only other ness experience is an average main who mostly concentrates on Melee anyway, so take my opinion on this MU lightly.
Diddy: -1 IMO. One of the top players in my area mains him, so I have decent knowledge here. Diddy isn't that bad if you go to a stage with platforms and know how to use his naners against him. Jut play really gay and it's not terrible. The only problem here is the fact that approaching diddy is annoying and diddy can rack damage well, but it's not -2 worthy thanks to our own shenanigans on him.
Luigi: Not our disadvantage FOR SURE. I'd say even or maybe our advantage +1. I play a ton of luigi mains around here, and luigi doesn't have anything at all if we play keep away, which is easy due to his mobility. The only reason we don't **** is cuz when he gets in, HE GETS IN.
The only mu I have a problem with IMO is ROB, I absolutely WILL NOT agree to that as a disadvantage. I take my states rob to last game/hit EVERY SINGLE TIME I play him, and he's #3 on our PR. I know for a fact that he's better than me, and I know that he knows the mu as I play him at least once a day, I'm not even kidding. Aside from this, my brother ALSO mains rob, so I play this mu even more than every other character in this game. This is even at worst, and possibly even our slight advantage. We can play soooo safe against rob, and if we get the gyro, he can't do anything but try to approach. If we get an egglay, we can juggle the ever loving crap outta him, and he has no response.
why is Luigi even? we can camp him so hard.
Cuz luigi gets in like a mofo, and kills like nobody's buisness when he does get in. DAT JAB!! SHORYUKEN!! THE WEEGEE POKE!!
Regardless, i think id lean towards +1 us, but +2 is too much.
I dare you to play a good weegee and completely keep him out for 8 mins.
of course he will get through there and there but that shouldn't really do much D: I need a delta opinion!
Weegee only needs a couple good approaches to make stuff happen.
We keep Weegee out very well. The only truly fast way he can get in is Cyclone, which pops us up and lets us escape without much hassle. He also needs more than a few decent approaches to get work done; we can DJ out of many of his combos. The problem with this MU comes with getting antsy and losing patience, which can happen, since Luigi IS intimidating to a degree, and then you approach and get ***** for it. Just kick back and take your time. Also, don't try to chain him too much. Nair is gayyyyyyyyyyyy.
Are we able to stop fireball with b-air?
bair nair jab, whatever you want.
Yeah luigi is definitely not even. My friend is a luigi main and let me tell you, almost everything I do he can counter with one if his moves. My bair is almost useless in this MU. Gotta be careful with running grabs because if he sidesteps what happens? Hello UpB! His jab beats ours. His bair beats most of our aerials. The mu should be -1 for us imo.
you know that we are about to argue for at least +1?
Raptor, your problem is that you're approaching. We get solidly beat by Luigi if we approach. What you need to do is camp the hell out of him. THAT will beat Luigi. Not aggressiveness.
Cant luigi just double fireball and then we cant egg and then we have to approach?
Fireballs aren't that good though. They do interfere with eggs a bit, but if he's double fireballing it means he's jumping so you can run in and punish. Just because we're camping doesn't mean we're throwing eggs. =P I do the same thing to Mario, lol.
Going through old Yoshi threads and I notice this old thing.
MU chart v2 is out so that means a change in stuph we might want to fix/discuss while the 3rd MU chart is in the works.
Which relates to this thread kinda since we argued about Luigi the most a year ago.
I've never played a good MK (Unless you count Draco, Mero and Plank... meh) but using Yoshi against them was incredibly easy, I'd like to play Tyrant or M2K as Yoshi sometime, but I don't get to play US players ever.
I can honestly say though, if you don't know how to play MK's it's a -2. But if you can keep control of your character against MK as Yoshi, it's easy.
and i'm even doubting myself, but i'll say -1.
I can honestly say though, if they don't know how to play it's a -1. But if they can keep control of their character as MK against Yoshi, it's easy.
'cause, MK can pretty much force Yoshi off stage and kill him with dem dairs.
I hope Luigi V Yoshi gets +1 for Yoshi.
I think we can have a +1 on ,a +2 on ,a +3 on and ,a -1 on ,a -2 on ,a -3 on ,and a 0 (even) with , and .
But this chart is not bad,I liked it.
The chart in the OP is actually the previous ratios when v1 of the MU Chart was made.
For now, here's the new stuph from v2.
Falco needs to be put at -3.
I'm implying that a top-level Yoshi can beat a top-level Meta Knight easily.
I'm also implying average Yoshi players will lose horribly to average MK's.
I didn't easily beat M2K. In fact, I lost to him.
Not to say it was terrible, but still.

Televangelist Fraud Kenneth Copeland Is So Surprised By Inside Edition Reporter That He Winds Up Telling The Truth And Exposing Himself
When Inside Edition's Chief Investigative Correspondent Lisa Guerrero caught up with him in Branson, Missouri, he spoke to her at length about his lifestyle and why he says the jets are important to his ministry. "If I flew commercial, I'd have to stop 65% of what I'm doing," he said. Guerrero asked him about a previous comment he made saying he doesn't fly commercial because he doesn't "want to get into a tube with a bunch of demons."
by	Geoffrey Grider	May 23, 2019
Televangelist Kenneth Copeland enjoys a life of luxury. He has his own airport next to his mansion in Newark, Texas, where he keeps his private jets.
This video starts at a fairly high level of uncomfortability, and as it proceeds, flies right off the charts like an exploding thermometer from those old cartoons. Kenneth Copeland receives a surprise visit from Lisa Guerrero of Inside Edition, asking him questions about his lavish lifestyle and previous comments he has made about his followers being 'demons'. Copeland by turns stutters before lapsing into silence, lashes out in a frenzied rage, and concludes with some very hard to watch hand kissing combined with some rather creepy comments that were intended to be compliments. You're watching Kenneth 'Crazy Eyes' Copeland at his finest, showing us the demon that he truly is.
"Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself." 1 Timothy 6:5 (KJV)
So what's the takeaway from all this? Well, for one, it absolutely confirms everything we have ever said about him being a Laodicean fraud, a crook and a swindler. Guerrero is amazing in that she when she asks him about his life of luxury he not only doesn't deny it, he brags about it. Secondly, watch his facial expressions. He breaks out into a huge inappropriate grin whenever she asks him the hardest questions, like the way someone who was a mental patient in a sanitorium might reply. Think 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest' and you'll get what I mean.
If you are one of his followers, sit under his preaching, and are able to support his ministry without any warning bells from the Holy Spirit going off in your head, then guess what? It's a high likelihood that you've never been saved according to 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV). You should think about that.
Preacher Kenneth Copeland Defends His Lavish Lifestyle in Full Interview
FROM INSIDE EDITION: When Inside Edition's Chief Investigative Correspondent Lisa Guerrero caught up with him in Branson, Missouri, he spoke to her at length about his lifestyle and why he says the jets are important to his ministry.
"If I flew commercial, I'd have to stop 65% of what I'm doing," he said. Guerrero asked him about a previous comment he made saying he doesn't fly commercial because he doesn't "want to get into a tube with a bunch of demons."
"Do you really believe that human beings are demons?" she asked.
"No, I do not and don't you ever say I did," Copeland responded as he pointed his finger at her. source
But Kenneth Copeland Must Have Forgot About This
Kenneth Copeland told Inside Edition that he never referred to his followers as 'demons', oh but he did, and it's right here.
Inside Edition Reviews The Ministry Of Kenneth Copeland
You've seen them on TV, popular televangelists who preach the gospel to millions around the world. You may be surprised that these men of God are living a lifestyle few could imagine. Jesse Duplantis and Kenneth Copeland drive fancy cars and live in lavish mansions. They also fly in private jets. It's impossible to know exactly how much money these ministries take in each year because they are not required to make financial disclosures of donations they receive and all of it is tax exempt.
Prosperity Gospel Exposed In Interview With Inside Edition
This is the full version of the interview with some nice editing of bible verses along the way.
When you contribute to this fundraising effort, you are helping us to do what the Lord called us to do. The money you send in goes primarily to the overall daily operations of this site. When people ask for Bibles, we send them out at no charge. When people write in and say how much they would like gospel tracts but cannot afford them, we send them a box at no cost to them for either the tracts or the shipping, no matter where they are in the world. Even all the way to South Africa. We even restarted our weekly radio Bible study on Sunday nights again, thanks to your generous donations.
But whatever you do, don't do nothing. Time is short and we need your help right now. If every one of the 12,832 people on our daily mailing list gave $4.50, we would reach our goal immediately. If every one of our 151,781 followers on Facebook gave $1.00 each, we would reach 300% of our goal. The same goes for our 14,000 followers on Twitter. But sadly, many will not give, so we need the ones who can and who will give to be generous. As generous as possible.

Broadway came to life in the ambitious and infectious Guys and Dolls at Migration Hall in Kingsville this past weekend. The company's take on the 1950s tale of gamblers, dancers and soul-savers in New York City had the opening night audience smiling, laughing and tapping their feet to some irresistibly catchy music, flashy costumes and fun choreography.
The hall was set up in a cabaret style with circular tables throughout the floor and a serious selection of food and drink was available inside and at an outdoor food truck. It was a phenomenal layout for this presentation.
Guys and Dolls follows the story of obsessive gambler Sky Masterson (Eric Minch) as he is challenged by Nathan Detroit (Dan Santos) that he cannot take prim and proper missionary Sarah Brown (Becca Silvius) on a date. Detroit is not without his own trials in the romantic world; his fiancée of 14 years, Miss Adelaide (Stephanie Allen Santos), is growing impatient with his endless gambling ways.
The production featured four extremely strong leads, each bringing distinctive voices and talents to the show, making it a lively and fun-filled evening. Minch was slick, debonair and a smooth player as Sky, while Dan Santos offered some adorable and loveable sleaze to Detroit.
The leading women were equally as charming. Stephanie Allen Santos was as cute as a button as Miss Adelaide – this was a shining moment and a perfectly crafted roll. And I must say, it's also the only time I've ever seen her in her unmentionables, when she got a little cheeky during those Hot Box routines. Silvius keeps getting better with every show. She was absolutely adorable as Gertrude McFuzz in last year's Seussical, but with Sarah Brown, she raised the bar. Silvius had a charm that reminded me of the girl-next-door characters Sandra Bullock played earlier in her career.
Another standout was Brett Hallick who was a pure joy to watch as Nicely-Nicely Johnson. He gave the character a good balance – there was just enough cynical and deadpan mocking to know he's a diehard gambler, but he also gave the role a little fun and sympathy, which made the character much more loveable. Johnson is the type of character that can make or break the relationship between the gamblers and Hallick elevated the him beyond what most community players might do with the role.
The Hot Box and Havana scenes were fun. The cheesy cabaret of Bushel and A Peck was super fun and the crowd loved the dresses getting ripped off in Take Back Your Mink. The stellar Havana dance routine was a highpoint in the show.
There's a lot of theatre competition in Windsor-Essex at the moment, but Guys and Dolls is a bit like a trusted old friend – it's a guaranteed good time. With Migration Hall's annual productions, you're always guaranteed a hit.
The production featured four strong leads, each bringing distinctive talents to the show, making it a lively and fun-filled evening. It took an incredible cast, crew and orchestra to put this show together. Director Melissa McLeod crafted a combination of acting, choreography, live music in a fast moving and lively show that can't be missed.
Migration Hall Board – Bonnie Porteous (Chair), Betsey Sabara (Vice Chair), Larry Paterson (Town Council Rep), Julia Burgess (GECDSB Trustee), Bill Toews (KDHS Principal), Heather McDonald, Marg Stevens (Past Chair), Stephanie Allen Santos (Manager), Peter Slingerland (Technical Director).

Paris 1968. Pent-up anger and frustration over poverty, unemployment and the conservative government of General Charles de Gaulle, gave rise to a mass movement for sweeping social change. In the month of May, workers and students took to the streets in an unprecedented wave of strikes, walkouts and demonstrations. By May 18th, 10 million workers were on strike and all factories and universities were occupied. During those days of turmoil the ATELIER POPULAIRE (Popular Workshop) was formed. The faculty and student body of the Ecole des Beaux Arts were on strike, and a number of the students met spontaneously in the lithographic department to produce the first poster of the revolt, "Usines, Universites, Union." On May 16th, art students, painters from outside the university and striking workers decided to permanently occupy the art school in order to produce posters that would, "Give concrete support to the great movement of the workers on strike who are occupying their factories in defiance of the Gaullist government." The posters of the ATELIER POPULAIRE were designed and printed anonymously and were distributed for free. They were seen on the barricades, carried in demonstrations and were plastered on walls all over France. Their bold and provocative messages were extremely influential and still resonate in our own time. These prints are extracted from a 1969 book about the posters produced by the ATELIER POPULAIRE. They are double-sided and suitable for framing. Translations of the posters are seen at the bottom left of each print. I have shown photos of both sides. Dimensions: 11"W x 16"T Condition: Vintage/ There is some yellowing to paper (it is a creamy color and quite thick) and there is the occasional crease or bend. Also, because these are extracted from a book, one edge will show some roughness from the binding glue. This item will be shipped flat between two boards.

Q: A doubt about real analysis concerning countable sets I sometimes get confused when dealing with the notion of countable sets. MY book says that $A$ I countable if there is bijection $f: A \to \mathbb{N }$. but then I frequently see people refer to countable sets only if $f$ is injective.
So, my question is: if there is an injection between $A$ to $\mathbb{N}$ does it imply that $A$ must be countable ?

A: All right, here's the solution to your problem. Let $A$ be a set with an injection $f$ into $\Bbb N$. If $A$ is finite, it's countable according to your definition.
If, on the other hand, $A$ is infinite, then you need to show that $A$ has a subset in one-to-one correspondence with $\Bbb N$. That is, you want an injective map $g:\Bbb N\to A$. To get such a thing, pick an element $x_0$ of $A$ (being nonfinite, $A$ is nonempty). Since $A$ is nonfinite, $A\setminus\{x_0\}$ is still nonempty, and has an element $x_1$. Continue this way, getting a map $g:\Bbb N\to A$, by $g(n)=x_n$. I'm sure a careful proof of this requires an appeal to the Axiom of Choice.
But now that you have injections going both ways between $A$ and $\Bbb N$, you call in Bernstein's Theorem, which finds a bijection between $\Bbb N$ and $A$.
You see that all the above argument calls in some relatively heavy artillery from elementary Set Theory, and maybe you can see why people have just asked you to believe that for countability of $A$, it's enough to have an injection from $A$ into $\Bbb N$.

A new wording of the draft law on health has been adopted at parliamentary plenary session after a final discussion.
It means that now all medical doctors, assistants and nurses who work in centers of aimags and regional zones will receive every five years a bonus equal to their six months' salaries. Those with the same status but working in soums, bagas and villages will be given every three years a bonus equal to six months' salaries.
Apart of it, every hospital in a soum will be named as "soum health center", and family hospitals as the "health community center".
"All this will greatly improve the medical first aid and services," says the Minister for Health S.Lambaa.


Lakea is building a block of flats in Hervanta, Tampere, where you can make the most of living in the city. The location is ideal: close to the city centre but peaceful. To be completed in August 2019, the building will feature studio flats, two-room flats and three-room flats. The building, named Kalliorinne (Rocky Hill), was designed by Sakari Miettunen.
"At Kalliorinne, we will also invest in communal living. The flats have no saunas, but there will be a separate outbuilding that has room for many activities. It will house the housing company's sauna as well as a residents' room and a workshop. The housing company may purchase a pool table or sofa set and organise parties or other shared activities," says Jaana Mäki-Maunus, a real estate salesperson at Lakea.
While Mäki-Maunus predicts that the building will interest students and young families in particular, it is also an interesting opportunity for real estate investors.
"The glazed, protruding balconies serve as extra rooms from early spring to late autumn. And the jogging path starts right at the door," she describes.
The city district of Hervanta is known for its university campus as well as its diverse recreational opportunities and rugged rocks. There are beautiful green areas in Hervanta, particularly around Kalliorinne. In the future, the tramway will run through Hervanta, making it even easier to get to the city centre and the rest of Tampere.
You can read more about Kalliorinne here.
Our offices are open 18.4. until 13:00.

Tropical forest biodiversity is declining, but the resulting effects on key ecosystem services, such as carbon storage and sequestration, remain unknown. We assessed the influence of the loss of tropical tree species on carbon storage by simulating 18 possible extinction scenarios within a well-studied 50-hectare tropical forest plot in Panama, which contains 227 tree species. Among extinction scenarios, aboveground carbon stocks varied by more than 600%, and biological insurance varied by more than 400%. These results indicate that future carbon storage in tropical forests will be influenced strongly by future species composition.

A simulation of forest decline shows that carbon sequestration in a tropical forest in Panama varies by up to a factor of six, depending on which among the 227 tree species are lost.


A bunch of things have been fixed - the changelog is here - and you know where downloads, forums, etc are!
Any idea as to when this is targeted for GA or Final release?

For the moment, I'd like to ask you to hold off on trying to add Shuffle data to more Pokemon pages. If you don't know how to use a template right, that doesn't really mean it's the best choice to use it wrongly anyway. You can always ask someone for help figuring it out.
I have a spreadsheet that can make the process a bit faster (and a certain amount reliable/consistent as well). I want you to use that spreadsheet to do these updates. I'll link it to you in a bit (if you want to do all this) after I've made a few necessary updates.
We've been trying to update all our Pokemon pages to use both the new side games templates and new navigation templates. Basically, everything that's changed in this edit should be changed in every edit to the side game data. It's simpler if you just do the nav header and footer at the same time as the side game data so someone else doesn't have to come back through to finish it up.
Then try this. (Otherwise I can probably just link you Google Sheets.) Flaaffy's assist should best have been left blank.
Second, the Shadows of Almia and PokePark boxes do not belong there at all; those aren't Slowking's. The spreadsheet recommended you erase one Pokemon's data before pasting in another's, and you probably didn't do that, resulting in Slowking magically having this data it shouldn't.
As a precaution against all this, I'd also ask you to just open one window on the current Pokemon page, open another for editing the code, and then preview/view them together so you can compare the side game data in one window to the other. That way, you should easily be able to spot if something's gone wrong.
May I recommend recreating what is currently your user page at User:IHHeroes/Camp_Pokémon or, if you plan multiple projects, at User:IHHeroes/Sandbox instead? I'm guessing you are not familiar with the ability to do this, and you probably wanted to use your talk page to try things out before. An advantage of using other pages besides your user page itself is that you can invite others to help with your projects; generally, it's not permitted to edit someone else's user page at all.

I was thrilled to be asked to The Iron Lady Premiere by Olivia Colman. We have been working together for sometime now and this really was a special moment to be involved in. Meryl Streep, Jim Broadbent and the rest of the cast were to be there too, so I was all of a flutter to say the least.
Dame Vivienne does not do understated shows. This would be no exception. Having gone through metal detectors last season at the Royal Courts, we were sat in the halls of Smithfield Markets, on a purpose built set waiting the collection.
Westwood held a reserved cocktail soiree on the Friday night of London Fashion Week, for the launch of the Palladium jewellery designed by Dame Vivienne Westwood. The party was in the fabulous surroundings of the Wallace collection in Mayfair. Amongst the rooms and the beautiful decor there were showcases with the fine Jewellery pieces, and as you glided up the glamorous staircase a string quintet greeted you.
