I'm an orphan, chump. That was probably your daddy in a wig and sundress, seducing you yet again.
513. Re: Federal Deep State Judge?
Yeah, she said it was much more satisfying than your one second and two hours of crying.
Trump has always said his greatest asset is his reputation. Talk about negative equity!
Oh, you are a tiresome little stinkbug.
And you, are incapable of reading, understanding or parsing objective reality: the title clearly states 'complicit'. Here's a quarter. Catch a bus downtown and borrow the Merriam Webster from the library--if you can read.
518. Re: Who's Still a Trumper?
Yep. Let's do a little experiment on them, and see how they ignore reality. Here's a chart comparing various special investigations and their outcomes. Note which one is quickly outpacing all of the others. Now let's see them dismiss this, or ignore it completely. Or, just froth at the mouth and shout out rude words.
Both days serve the same purpose. But neither of you members of the 101st Tinyhanders cares about that, because screw the military, use 'em and throw 'em away, they're little people--just like Fat Nixon.
521. Re: Who's Still a Trumper?
Nice to see the tiny mushroom brigade to show up to confirm the study. BTW Dane, your mama didn't think I was so gay last night.
US law doesn't hold anyone in power to account. I was speaking with regards to the UN on war crimes, using gas on civilian populations to further a military goal. Apologise your face off for the war crime, it won't change anything. Those are American troops being used in a police action on American soil to back up cops against a bunch of toddlers and their moms and dads.
525. Re: Who's Still a Trumper?
Cohen, and Manafort is going to jail forever for lying after his plea agreement. Sad!
Between his tiny little mushroom and minuscule raccoon-like paws, Fat Nixon has to bluster a lot to make up for his self-perceived inadequacy as a male--something his followers seem to love and emulate.
527. Rake America Great Again!
Oh no, there's no such thing as climate change! If only we raked the floor (you know, that one in the forest?) like the Finns do, we'd be able to prevent every fire in California, forever! Yay, Republican Science! Yay our Orange-Utan Oberstrumpführer!
Ha ha ha, those kids were used to spicy food! They probably loved it!
Turnip Denis Tear Gas Used On Legitimate Refugees Despite Tear Gas Being Used on Legitimate Refugees Nothing like watching the US military being complicit in a War Crime and an Atrocity to make your morning coffee seem perky!
You take a few days off and you come back to a zillion shitposts. I can't even bring myself to read the sophistry, rationalisations, and nonsense that Drumpfites want to use to justify their castigation of reason, democracy and an ordered and rational society. So I won't. Screw you all, I'm going to go to actual reality, where we can have blackjack and hookers like Jesus intended.
Oh, who is that terrible man, making the Orange-utan look like the forest-floor coprolite he is? It's Master Corporal Iain Cleaton at the Remembrance Day Ceremonies at the Commonwealth Cemetery at 5 Wing Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador. If you continue to support Drumpf, please stop pretending you give a rat's hindquarters about the military. He doesn't.
A few sprinkles that didn't stop anyone else in the world from commemorating the most important day of peace for modern civilization kept him in his soundproof suite, watching Fox and Friends and masturbating with his Cheeto fingers until his tiny mushroom was a greasy orange wilted tassel. Meanwhile in the actual world, where human beings live . . .
537. Re: Did You Take Your Wristband Off?
No, I gave it to your ugly mama as a souvenir of my visit.
They probably don't actually help. Achoo there seems to be seriously thinking-impaired.
When will it stop? When we progressives stop 'giving the other side a chance to speak'. The only thing I give to anti-semites, anti-muslims, anti-christians, anti-gays and all other hate groups and fascists is a taste of my hand. No debate, no quarter, no 'fair play'. If the other side's position has them deciding who gets to be human, I'm not playing, ever.

Home Car News For Sale For Sale: 1-of-1 PTS Iris Blue 993 Porsche 911 GT
In 1995, Porsche introduced the 993 model, which was the last of the air-cooled 911s. As a result of the success of all-wheel-drive cars in competition, such as Porsche's 961 and Audi's Quattro, four-wheel-drive was banned by most racing organizations in the mid-1990s. To comply with these regulations, Porsche created the GT2, a rear-wheel-drive version of the Turbo model that also had weight savings and was instantly competitive. In order to homologate the GT2 for racing, Porsche had to build a certain number of road-legal GT2s.
The GT2 had a 3.6L twin-turbo flat-six engine with higher boost than the standard Turbo model, now producing around 430 horsepower, and was mated to a manual six-speed gearbox. It also featured cutaway wings, removable and replaceable bolt-on flares, a large rear wing, and a lowered body to reduce drag. Porsche completed 194 road-going GT2s and 78 race cars. This particular example was optioned with a unique paint-to-sample Iris Blue Metallic color, manual wind windows, a radio delete, airbag delete, comfort seats, and air-conditioning.
This car was ordered new by Phillipe Aunay who was a prominent figure in the Porsche world being a co-founder of Porsche Centre Rouen and president of the Porsche Club of France for some 25 years before passing in 2004. An esteemed collector of both the fastest Porsches (both road and race) and a curator of the wildest colours, his car ownership was varied. Owning no fewer than three 2.7 RS' including a Lightweight, a 2.8 RSR, a 964 3.8 RS in Light Yellow, a 964 RS in Blood Orange, a Guards Red 3.0 RS. There was also the 'Toblerone' liveried 3.0 RSR amongst others.
The car has been sourced from Monaco where it resided with an ex-Formula 1 driver and the mileage stands at 43,680 kilometres from new, all the panels on the car are original and free of damage. This car is available for sale with DK Engineering and is one of the most desirable examples we have seen to date.

Q: Prove inequality for $a, b , c, d$ for $a,b, c, d\ge 0$ How does one prove the following inequality:
$$ \frac{a}{a^2+1}+\frac{b}{b^2+1}+\frac{c}{c^2+1}+\frac{d}{d^2+1}\le\frac{a}{b^2+1}+\frac{b}{c^2+1}+\frac{c}{d^2+1}+\frac{d}{a^2+1}$$
without much computation? Is there a trick?

A: Yes, there is.
You can consider the numbers $a,b,c,d$ on one side and the numbers $\frac1{a^2+1}$, $\frac1{b^2+1}$, $\frac1{c^2+1}$, $\frac1{d^2+1}$ on the other, and apply the Rearrangement Inequality.

Google, LinkedIn and Other Tech Firms Send Employees Into New York Classrooms
Tech-in-Residence program aims to help students expand skills and boost chances for finding jobs after graduation

Feb. 9, 2020 9:00 am ET
New York City tech companies are hungry for new hires, with some even sending their own workers into college classrooms to make sure students have the skills they need after graduation.
Tech employees from companies including Google, LinkedIn and Spotify are teaching 22 computer-science courses at the City University of New York this semester. The instructors are recruited through a city program called Tech-in-Residence Corps to help the university meet a soaring demand for technology classes including data analytics, data science and cybersecurity.
"The biggest concern our students have right now is getting into the courses that they want, because we can't staff them fast enough," said Marios Koufaris, chair of the Paul H. Chook Department of Information Systems and Statistics at Baruch College's Zicklin School of Business.
Enrollment in the department's master of science in information systems program, which offers technology and business courses like data analytics, has tripled over the past three years, with 316 students enrolled as of this spring, Dr. Koufaris said. Students on all career paths are clamoring for technology instruction. Aspiring accountants, for example, are pursuing graduate degrees in information systems as a way of making themselves more attractive to accounting firms, he said.
How can universities and tech companies work together to improve the needs of both parties? Join the conversation below.
More than 1,500 students have taken 73 classes across nine CUNY campuses through the Tech-in-Residence Corps, which started in spring 2018 and is run by the Department of Small Business Services, said Commissioner Gregg Bishop. Instructors are paid a $3,500 stipend per course, with the funding coming from the city.
The program's instructors, who work at four dozen different companies, have expertise in fields ranging from software engineering and blockchain to cybersecurity and data visualization. The hope is that New York City students will learn necessary tech skills and that tech companies will broaden their recruitment efforts to give more consideration to public-university graduates.
Most of the classes are taught in CUNY classrooms, but LinkedIn has started hosting students at its office in the Empire State Building, a model Mr. Bishop said he hopes other companies adopt.
"Having the companies have a stake in the future of our workforce is one of the things that makes a difference," he said.
Exposure to the daily operations of an office is helpful for students, who often ask as many questions about interviewing and working for tech companies as they do about coding, said Nikolai Avteniev, a senior staff engineer at LinkedIn who has taught CUNY students since 2018.
Andrew Bristow, head of cybersecurity at Chobani, at rear in dark sweater, with students in the Tech-in-Residence Corps program.
"The questions often asked were, 'Should I work at a startup or should I work at an established company? Do I go to graduate school?' " Mr. Avteniev said.
Mr. Avteniev said he has found that recent graduates are skilled at writing software and implementing algorithms but often struggle, when they first start working, with team projects. It is one thing to write code for an assignment that is checked by a professor, but it is another to work collaboratively on a product that is used by millions of people daily, he said.
Julia Lau, who graduated from CUNY last May with a bachelor's degree in computer science, was one of Mr. Avteniev's students and learned some of these collaborative skills in his class. One assignment required Ms. Lau and her classmates to work with code-sharing platforms like GitHub and integrate code that was written in different computer languages.
"The benefit of going to a computer-science program for four years is learning the fundamentals and theories," Ms. Lau said. "But the application part, using the actual tools used in the industry—traditional academia didn't prepare me for that."
Ms. Lau, 23 years old, found a job after graduation as an associate data scientist at Spotify.
Chrystal Mingo, an undergraduate computer-science major on track to graduate in spring 2021, said she learned Python, a programming language that she used during her summer internship at Morgan Stanley, from a data-science class she took last year with a Tech-in-Residence instructor.
Ms. Mingo said she is still weighing her career options but feels confident she'll be able to find a job after graduation, in part because tech companies seem eager to hire female engineers.
Andrew Bristow, Chobani's head of cybersecurity, at left, teaches a class in the Tech-in-Residence Corps program at Medgar Evers College, CUNY.
Grant Long, a senior economist at StreetEasy who teaches computer-science classes to CUNY students, said the Tech-in-Residence Corps helps tech companies recruit diverse talent in a competitive market. "There are more jobs than there are graduates, so finding and retaining people is hard," he said.
Increasingly, tech companies are looking beyond recruiting people with traditional computer-science degrees and searching for applicants who can adapt to rapidly changing technology. These are skills that can be taught in the classroom so students are prepared when they start internships or their first jobs, said Sarah Henderson, who manages computer-science education for Google's New York City office.
"When we're hiring for engineers, we're looking for generalists who can be really flexible and think on their feet," she said.
City officials plan to expand Tech-in-Residence Corps, with the goal of offering 100 courses per semester starting next year. Mr. Bishop said the program could also broaden to other universities and fields of study, such as health care, in the future.

Aerie Continues to Accelerate Growth, Expands #AerieREAL Role Model Family
January 31, 2019 August 16, 2021 In News & Media,
Busy Philipps, Samira Wiley, Jameela Jamil, Brenna Huckaby and Molly Burke Join Aerie's Body Positivity and Women's Empowerment Movement
NEW YORK — (Business Wire) –- American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (NYSE: AEO) announces that Aerie will expand its #AerieREAL Role Model™ family for spring 2019, continuing to accelerate the growth of the lifestyle brand and strengthening its commitment to body positivity. Actor, The New York Times bestselling author and host of E!'s late night show BUSY TONIGHT Busy Philipps, actress and activist Samira Wiley, actor, writer and activist Jameela Jamil, gold medal para snowboarder Brenna Huckaby and creator Molly Burke will join current Role Models Iskra Lawrence, Aly Raisman, Cleo Wade and Jenna Kutcher in Aerie's ongoing mission to empower its customers.
"The #AerieREAL Role Models are a source of inspiration for our customers and women around the world," said Jennifer Foyle Aerie Global Brand President. "These amazing Role Models embrace the Aerie lifestyle and were chosen for their influential voices, unique stories and commitment to nurturing an inclusive, empowering community for Aerie women everywhere."
The #AerieREAL Role Model '19 campaign will feature real conversations around body confidence and social causes at stores across the country. Role Models will share their stories and create awareness for the causes they stand behind by appearing in unretouched images and videos in stores, online and through social marketing.
The new #AerieREAL Role Models share first-hand what being part of the campaign means to them:
"Aerie's campaign showing unretouched women looking beautiful and empowered help me drive home the message of self-love and confidence that I bestow on my two daughters daily."
– Busy Philipps
"I am here to wake everyone up the way I had to be woken up. I just want to stop people from feeling the way that I once felt by being beaten up by imagery and messaging that wasn't real and wasn't demonstrative of what the real world is. I am here to make change and be surrounded by people and brands who are willing to take risks and push boundaries. "
– Jameela Jamil
"Finding passion and purpose in everything I do is what drives me and makes me feel fulfilled and happy in my own skin. The Aerie family has truly embraced and celebrated the real me."
– Samira Wiley
"I wasn't always comfortable with my body and was afraid of what people would think of me, but I've learned when you feel good in your own skin it absolutely shows. I want to help change the stigma behind disabilities and the opportunity to be a part of this campaign helps reinforce to ALL women that there is absolutely nothing that can stop any of us from fulfilling our dreams."
– Brenna Huckaby
"When my world became dark at age 4, I swore that I would use my voice to shed some light into the lives of others. I strive to be relatable, real, and not show my life as photoshopped and perfect—these imperfections are what make us real and tell our story."
– Molly Burke

Two cultures, one Library
Chances are, if you're visiting the Library, you've got one thing in mind: finding the books you need for your latest assignment or exam. But have you ever stopped to wonder what's on all those other shelves? By Martin Monahan
In 1959, C.P. Snow famously described the two cultures of Western society: on the one side the arts and humanities, on the other the sciences. He argued that these two cultures operated apart, causing an unnecessary division that hindered the forming of a complete approach to the problems of the world.
You have probably found this division present in your own university experience, either at undergraduate or postgraduate level. Ploughing through your own subject can seem daunting enough—be it Chemistry or English, Engineering or Politics—and, almost inevitably, your intellectual furrow becomes narrowed as it becomes deeper. But, university is the ideal time to read outside the subject you are taking as a degree and there is no better place to do this than the Library. Be it a systematic search or just a casual browsing, many wonders can be found outside the reading list that has been assigned to you.
You may even, as C.P. Snow once suggested, choose to cross the gap between the two cultures. And whether you're a scientist interested in the arts or an arts and humanities student interested in the sciences, you're not alone. There is a grand precedence for such 'interdisciplinarity' (to use the contemporary jargon); or perhaps here we mean more disciplinary AWOL. If you are a medic, you may care to examine the long list of doctors who have also been accomplished writers and poets. William Carlos Williams, alongside a thriving medical practice, wrote some of the most important modernist verse of the early twentieth century:
Who shall say I am not
the happy genius of my household?
(from 'Danse Russe', William Carlos Williams)
Likewise, Chekhov, Keats, Mikhail Bulgakov, Louis-Ferdinand Céline and Alfred Döblin, were all familiar with both the stethoscope and the fountain pen. Thomas Hardy trained as an architect, and the architect Le Corbusier knocked out a poem or two (as well as being the co-founder of the Purist art movement). The great physicist Richard Feynman was a fine essayist and memoirist: his popular writings can be found in the floor 2 extension. Meanwhile, the actress Hedy Lamarr engaged in ground-breaking research in torpedo radio guidance during the Second World War: her autobiography is available from the store.
The finance section on Floor 5 may not seem the most obvious place for a Philosophy student to visit, but Voltaire, after all, was a renowned investor, becoming one of the richest men in France in his lifetime, and a billionaire in today's money. Politics students could head over to the music shelves, or even visit The Music Centre, taking their inspiration from Giuseppe Verdi, who briefly became a politician; and law students could follow Wassily Kandinsky, who trained as a lawyer but switched to being a painter (though only after gaining his degree!).
After you graduate, and embark on further study or move into a career, the sense of feeling trapped in one of the 'two cultures' can increase. So there's no better time than now to break out and to read more widely. Next time you take a wrong turn amongst the Library shelves, you may just be taking your first step towards a new culture!

"REEVE'S TALE, THE" Geoffrey Chaucer (ca. 1390) "The Reeve's Tale" appears in the first fragment (or group A) of "The Canterbury Tales," after the General Prologue, "The Knight's Tale," and "the Miller's Prologue and Tale." It is followed by the extremely short, and obviously incomplete, Cook's Tale. This first group forms a tightly knit unit, in which the various tellers respond to each other, under the attempted orchestration of Harry Bailly, the Host. In the General Prologue to the Canterbury Tales, the Reeve and the Miller, as is socially appropriate, are to be found in the last group, together with the Sum-moner, the Pardoner, the Manciple, and Chaucer the Narrator. As the Miller disrupts the orderly, class-based sequence of narrations suggested by the Host by intervening directly after the Knight, so does the Reeve speak deliberately after the Miller, and his motives in doing so are made clear in his long Prologue.
Here the Reeve (a word indicating the Steward of a manor), a man of choleric disposition and one of the less likeable among Chaucer's pilgrims, laments the infirmities associated with old age and reveals his animus against the drunken and overbearing Miller, who has spoken before him and has allegedly offended him. His harangue is rudely interrupted by the Host, who reminds him that "The devel made a reve for to preche" (l. 3903) and urges him to begin his story. The tale proper begins, and it is clear from the start that it is conceived as a riposte to the Miller, since the Reeve fancies himself parodied in the portrait of the old and gullible carpenter in the previous tale.
The narrative is set at Trumpington, near Cambridge. Symkyn, a grasping and bold miller, lives there, and he is equally in love with money and with his (mostly imagined) social position. The long description of this character emphasizes his apelike face and body, his boastful bearing, the excessive weaponry he always wears, his outrageous thievery, and his family pride. He fancies himself well-connected since his wife is the illegitimate daughter of the parson, and the two of them project their ambitions on their 20-year-old daughter, Malyne (whose quick physical description marks her as far from the conventional beauty of the type), and on their small baby, who, though only six months old, is already "a propre page" (l. 3972).
Having been sent by the master of their college to have their corn ground, Aleyn and John, two poor scholars of Cambridge, visit the mill. While the miller foresees another opportunity to steal on the correct measure of flour, the two scholars are fatuously certain that they will not be cheated, as they think their learning far outshines the miller's native ingenuity. They are determined to watch the miller's every move, but he proves more than a match for them: Not only does he steal their flour and give it to his wife to knead into a cake, but he also makes their horse bolt, forcing them into an undignified scramble across the fields to recapture the animal; thus the miller proves that "The gret-teste clerkes been noght wisest men" (l. 4054).
By the time the scholars manage to detach their horse from its company of wild mares, night has fallen and they are forced to ask for Symkyn's hospitality. The provisions and ale they send for become the occasion for an impromptu feast at which both the Miller and his wife get drunk, and when they all go to bed (in the same room, as was the custom), the two older people's (and their daughter's) snores are a sonorous accompaniment to the scholars' rueful nightly meditations. But they also provide the cover under which the two students undertake their revenge by "swyving"— that is, having sex with, the Miller's wife and daughter. First, Aleyn slips quietly into Malyne's bed and rapes her before she has a chance to cry out; then John, shamed by his friend's boldness, moves the cot where the baby sleeps from the proximity of the parents' bed to his own, so that when the miller's wife has to get up, she mistakes the bed in the pitch-dark room and ends in John's arms, enjoying his enthusiastic lovemaking in the drunken conviction that it is her husband's.
Dawn arrives, and the denouement begins with a mock aubaude: Malyne's tearful adieus to her "lem-man" ("sweetheart," l. 4240), who in his turn swears, "I is thyn awen clerk" (l. 4239). This is soon forgotten, however, as Aleyn, equally tricked by the displaced cot, enters the miller's bed and boasts of his success. The uproar caused by the miller's discovery of his daughter's undoing causes a furious fight with Aleyn, which is abruptly ended when the wife, persevering in her mistake, deals her husband a stunning blow. With dishonor upon both women and the recapture of the stolen flour, the students' revenge is completed, and they can go back to Cambridge victorious.
"The Reeve's Tale" is a fabliau, a short, comic, and scurrilous tale in verse, generally dealing with lowborn characters, set in the present or in a not-too-distant past, so as to make the setting and characters (however generic or stereotyped) immediately recognizable to the audience. Born of the Reeve's bitter desire for revenge, however, this tale is less light and humorous than its companion piece, "The Miller's Tale," and the fate it metes out to innocent characters such as the miller's daughter helps us understand the fabliau's darker side. Yet the comedy is far from sacrificed, and the tightly constructed plot turns the final scene into a triumph of slapstick comedy, a farce of clock-like inevitability. Faithful to the spirit of the genre, Chaucer does not pass judgement on any of his characters, nor do any of the pilgrims comment on the scholars' outrageous revenge. However, Chaucer avoids the transformation of the comedy into mechanical farce and the representation of the miller and his rival as mere puppets by preserving the individuality of each character, giving most of them a name, often unforgettable physical traits (such as the "camuse nose" marking the kinship between the miller and his daughter), and a distinctive personality, while these characteristics preserve evident links with the types of the genre tradition.
Critical attention to "The Reeve's Tale" has tended to focus on individual characters, as they are distinctive enough to warrant in-depth analysis and may suggest literary analogues and echoes beyond the fabliau tradition. The miller, for instance, has suggested analogies with Simon the Magician as represented in Dante's Inferno; he has also evoked outright analogies with the devil or, given his name and simian appearance, with the ape. The two students, with their association with one of the most famous and ancient universities in Europe, have prompted analyses of their role in medieval scholarly tradition, suggesting derivations from Richard de Bury's Philobiblon (1473) or other conventional treatises on scholarly life. More generally, biblical analogies are suggested by the Reeve's declaration, in his Prologue, that his rival the Miller "kan wel in myn eye seen a stalke, But in his owene he kan nat seen a balke [beam]" (ll. 3919-20), and recent studies have used the biblical analogy as a possible interpretative key for the tale. Some attention has also been dedicated to the animal imagery in the tale, and to its associations with allegorical images of pride, wrath, and lust.
A number of parallels in French, Italian, German, and Flemish literature have been identified for this tale, and a number of studies have concentrated on its relation to its sources and analogues. The most important are two anonymous French fabliaux, Le Meunier et les II Clers and De Gombert et des II clers, and Giovanni Boccaccio's Decameron Book 9, Tale 6, along with another Italian novella and two German tales. In all cases, the plot is substantially the same, especially in regard to the bed trick, although the characters' social status and the motivations differ. This might make the reader think that Chaucer's tale is too constrained by the tradition to which it belongs, but "The Reeve's Tale" demonstrates the poet's ability in handling and renovating traditional material. It is also unique in the "bed-trick" tradition in its almost complete absence of romantic overtones. This motif, in which two characters unknowingly have sex with each other because of mistaken identity, was particularly popular in fabliaux. The mock aubade concluding Malyne's and Aleyn's "night of love" is also unique to Chaucer's text.
Another aspect that has attracted critical attention is Chaucer's use of dialect, as he offers the first extensive representation of a dialect in English literature. Critical studies have lately focused on linguistic details in an attempt to pinpoint the exact dialect Chaucer used and his accuracy in reproducing it.
More recently, the use of space in the tale's final scene—a use anticipated by the miller's ironic consideration that the scholars may consider themselves welcome in his house, since, though it is narrow, they can "by argumentes make a place/A mile brood of twenty foot of space" (ll. 4123-24)—has triggered critical discussion on the use of space and place in the tale, and on the concept of sight and its association with knowledge. It has also helped to put the miller's pride in a new perspective, linking it with his "greet sokene" (l. 3987)—that is, his monopoly on grain-grinding and his dreams of his great estate, which he wants to enlarge through marital alliances, thus effectively founding an imaginary dynasty. The ambition of this character is thus not simply a comical trait predetermining his downfall, but a marker of social unrest. Chaucer may also have hidden in his description of the miller's pride a satirical note against holy orders and the abuse of church privilege. For instance, the parson in the Tale diverts church goods for his own use. At the same time, the rivalry between the miller and the scholars has been reassessed in terms of a competition between university and country wits, transcending the usual class war inherent in fabliaux to suggest how the expansion of the universities in the 14th century might create new social problems. The expansion challenged the traditionally established class structure by inserting a new order, that of the clerks, who, while conscious of their intellectual superiority and their financial disadvantages, were made aggressive and perhaps violent by the uncertainty of their status.
Finally, feminist scholarship has investigated the "comic" treatment of rape and deception within the tale, focusing primarily on the "no really means yes" aspect of Malyne's and Aleyn's sexual encounter. Another avenue of investigation involves the use of innocent women to punish men.

The laboratory was one of the first to reoccupy the area with the purchase and renovation of the old, Brutalist-style Bell Telephone Building. Oklahoma is a unique and varied state, home to 39 Native American tribes, diverse enterprises and a landscape marked by contrasts. A major producer of natural gas, oil and agricultural products, the state relies on an economic base of aviation (generates $11 billion annually), energy (third largest producer of natural gas and fifth largest producer of crude oil), telecommunications and, more recently, biotechnology. It also boasts 13 distinct ecological regions within its borders—more per square mile than any other state. With four separate mountain ranges—the Ouachitas, the Arbuckles, the Wichitas and the Ozarks—more than 500 named creeks and 200 dam-created lakes. This environmental diversity, coupled with frequent extreme weather events and heavy industry, makes environmental testing critical to the health of Oklahoma's 3.9 million plus residents. Facility After separating from the Oklahoma State Department of Health in 1993, the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, State Environmental Laboratory Services (SELS) began a complex series of phased construction and moves in 1998. Today it is located in the heart of Oklahoma City directly north of the Oklahoma City National Memorial and The 48,000 square-foot laboratory resides with DEQ central offices in what has become a bustling, vibrant downtown. Its BSL-2-rated facility occupies the ninth and tenth floors, and there are specialized areas in the basement for radiochemistry instrumentation, on the third floor for storage, and on the first floor for sample intake. For all its tragedy, the bombing of the Murrah building ushered in a renaissance in Oklahoma City and a new beginning for the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Oklahoma City continues to grow and prosper with public and private partnerships dramatically transforming its face. Chris Armstrong, director of SELS, has been at the forefront of environmental public health in Oklahoma for over four decades. "It's been gratifying to see the effects our programs have had on public health the environment in the state." Director A lifelong Oklahoma resident, Armstrong received his bachelor's in microbiology with a chemistry minor from Oklahoma State University. But he worked construction for over a decade before joining a local medical research foundation, performing tissue culture and working on animal immunotherapeutic protocols. "Extraction and digestion laboratories have very specialized mechanical needs, and I had a really good understanding of that when I first started," Armstrong said. He loved research, but he soon found himself with a family of five, so he became a clinical microbiologist doing STD microscopy, cultures and serological tests. He made the jump to environmental science after participating in Oklahoma's first waste load allocation study, and has served as a supervisor to both a clinical laboratory and environmental laboratory. Staff SELS has 57 full time employees. More than 90 percent of the staff have both undergraduate and graduate degrees in chemistry, biology or microbiology and have a minimum of 11 years of experience. Two accreditation program staff members plus four scientists also serve as laboratory accreditation assessors. "We're currently three positions down, and our new budget makes it unlikely we will be able to refill vacancies this year." Revenue SELS has a budget of $7.2 million, of which approximately 47% is fee revenue, 33% is state appropriation and 20% is federal grants. While fees for testing are fixed, Armstrong says, "We had the foresight to include a Consumer Price Index (CPI) clause into our rules," so fees would have an automatic increase based on the CPI of the previous year.

Trump and Moral Authority
Matthew Boedy May 22, 2017 Religion
Recently "moral authority" has become part of the debate over the effectiveness of the Trump presidency. It is important to understand how this concept works beyond presidential politics. It can impact more broadly how we interact with each other.
First, the political. Former Labor Secretary in the Clinton administration Robert Reich wrote in April that "the moral authority of the office" of the president has "disappeared" with Trump. Reich tweeted on April 24 that degradation of this authority is "one of the biggest legacies" of Trump's first 100 days in office. And if you think Trump started this, Senior National Correspondent for MTV News, Jamil Smith, replied to Reich that "Trump is an avatar for the lack of moral authority that was there all along."
We could debate that claim for eons. But it is also important to point out that a lot of our institutions work on this authority, not just the government. Clergy members are acceded this authority, for example. But it also works in economic arenas, such as when David French at the National Review questioned the moral authority of United to drag one of its customers from a flight in April. Finally, moral authority works in professional fields: Marc Edwards, the Virginia Tech professor who was the first to discover the drinking water crisis in Flint, MI, was given an award for returning moral authority to engineers.
These examples assume the need for and want of moral authority. In a time of proliferating questions about moral authority in the presidency, these assumptions must be openly articulated. If indeed there is a need or want for this authority, 'fleshing it out' is required. We do need this authority to fight presidential authoritarianism but appeals to moral authority are present in other arenas. For example, a white Florida state senator resigned after using a racial slur to describe a black colleague. As The New York Times noted, we don't consider this appropriate behavior for an elected official. The white senator's moral authority to represent us as Americans was erased by his moral errors, forcing his resignation.
Reich wrote that moral authority is based on the notion "from early in the Republic" that the presidency (and here I include all elected officials) is "a focal point for the nation's values." Reich says Trump's family enrichment, cruelty, and lies demonstrate his lack of moral authority.
Clearly there is a moral code that grounds such authority. Reich points out in his April essay that this code comes from our nation's history. Presidents such as Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Franklin Roosevelt, are "exemplars" of this authority: "It is not merely what these men accomplished, but how they did it; not just their policies but their positive effects on the institutions of democratic governance."
However, this moral code isn't just received, it's also actively made. In her essay "Crafting virtue: The rhetorical construction of public morality," rhetorical scholar Celeste Condit calls moral authority a "collective discourse." In other words, the moral code is continuously made and remade by us all.
Yet our "collective" has been consistently undermined by what Condit and others call a "privatization of morality." In other words, the authority one gets from the collective now comes from one's own morality. This can be summed up in a misreading of the Bible verse "judge not, lest you be judged." Or in layman's terms, my morality is not better than yours so I can't judge yours.
The privatization of morality leads to certain people or certain offices having moral authority. The antidote for this is what Condit calls "the value of human craft." We see this in the ways that we give 'flesh' to morality when we speak and then collectively use these crafts to judge our democratic institutions or representatives. As the Florida Senator's example shows us, appeals to moral authority are still powerful.
To paraphrase Condit, morality is created with every word we speak. But a moral individualism is not the end of the story. If we allow moral authority to flow one way – for example, to let Trump tell us that whatever he says is presidential, as one of his supporters said in January, or allow only our personal moral authority to reign – we run the risk of failing to recognize the collective nature of the human craft and so, as Condit says, "we sadly deplete the quality of human life."
If indeed we seek to impose our authority on another, how then do we live together in a democracy? One method can be seen in past presidents who have lived out their moral authority. While they all were complex moral actors – each with their own failings and limited vision – each sought to be a voice for a general American consensus. When this consensus is violated – whether in legal or social arenas – the moral crafting of the nation either pulls us back into consensus or punishes the outlier through resignation or silence. Most of the time.
In other words, what we're missing is a president who speaks a nationally transcendent language—who speaks to our national identity, to our national aspirations. But, what Trump's presidency may have exposed is that there is no longer a viable nationally transcendent language with which to speak.
The only way democracy works out its moral authority is if we all aim to craft morality together, working through issues. We cannot use moral pronouncements as mere bricks in our isolating walls. In short, any moral authority a representative has comes from the moral crafting we do. And so voices from individuals like you and me make an impact on the collective power implied in the moral authority given to our local, state, and national representatives.

For a math class, Curatorial Fellow Katrina Greene gingerly holds a tape measure an inch away from the surface of a painting.
When art is math
The college's Mead Art Museum has always been a place to look at art, but in recent years it's become much more, including a classroom. Professors in many disciplines—from music to German, from chemistry to English—now bring their classes to do work at the Mead.
Some courses visit once a semester, to look at a Tiffany lamp or a Mayan artifact. Last semester, Writer-in-Residence Daniel Hall taught some sessions of his poetry course at the Mead—fitting, says Mead Director Elizabeth Barker, since it's where Robert Frost used to give readings of his works in progress.
Luca Grillo, assistant professor of classics, had students in Classics 28, "Life in Ancient Rome," adopt and research ancient artifacts at the Mead, including a pair of Roman earrings and a coin minted in Alexandria, Egypt, during the later part of Nero's reign. Those students created a Web exhibition, wrote text for a series of gallery installations and, with the help of the Center for Community Engagement, presented their research to schoolchildren.
Students studied this glass double unguentarium, by an unknown artist, which was probably used to hold perfume. (Reproduced here with permission of the Mead Art Museum, Amherst College, President Charles Cole Collection)
Students in intermediate calculus have calculated the volume of objects in the Mead's collection, figuring out, for example, that a Greek terracotta amphora, decorated with scenes of a drinking party, holds exactly 4.14 liters. Their instructor, Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics Benjamin Hutz, has also taken students in Math 13, "Multivariable Calculus," to the Mead, to produce mathematical formulas and three-dimensional models based on museum objects. "In our painting, we modeled a watermelon, a pear and a peach," says one Math 13 student in a Mead audio tour. "The watermelon we had some difficulty with, because leaves were covering up some of the key points. We determined it was a cylinder intersecting with a paraboloid." For several Math 13 students, the class visit was their first time in an art museum.
Special events in March, April and May include meditation sessions, gallery talks and Evenings at the Mead, which are hosted by student docents and feature art and live music. For a schedule, go to www.amherst.edu/mead. The Mead is free and open to the public. Hours are 9 a.m. to midnight Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan judge has refused to lift his order blocking state officials from moving ahead on a consent agreement with Detroit leaders on overcoming the city's financial crisis.
Ingham County Circuit Judge William Collette on Thursday rejected a request from Gov. Rick Snyder and the financial review team to freeze Collette's order keeping them from proceeding with a consent agreement.
The judge says that must wait until his March 29 hearing examining whether the review team violated Michigan's Open Meetings Act.
The state says it plans an appeal.
Lawyer Andrew Paterson represents union activist Robert Davis, who challenged the closed meetings. Paterson says it's possible the review team may be violating Collette's order.
The team must tell Snyder by Monday if an emergency manager is needed in Detroit.

FBI Shoots Down Media Reports, Says Border Agent's Death Involves 'Assault on Federal Agent Investigation'
November 22, 2017 95 No comment

The FBI is offering $25,000 for information on the "incident" that left one Border Patrol agent dead with severe injuries to his head and another agent hospitalized. The FBI held a press conference on November 21, 2017 and said a number of possible scenarios existed, but they were investigating the matter as an assault on a federal agent, despite media claiming FBI thought the incident involved an accident.
Breitbart Texas first reported on the incident and later noted that Border Patrol agents were claiming an attack had occurred at the hands of illegal immigrants and that the deceased agent's skull was beaten in with a rock or rocks. The National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) went on record with the assertions and shockwaves spread far and wide. Many left-of-center outlets began focusing on the fact that the FBI investigation looked into whether the agents had fallen or suffered an accident; however, many Republican leaders began asserting that the agents were attacked.
After President Donald Trump tweeted that an attack occurred, left-of-center outlets such as the Associated Press (AP) began reporting a source's claims that the agents likely fell. Breitbart Texas then published images from the scene, showing that such injuries from a fall were unlikely given the specifics of the location and that the AP source got key details wrong in the report.
The NBPC and Border Patrol agents on the ground believe the agents were attacked due to eyewitness testimony from the scene, the massive manhunt that was mobilized and sustained, and the realities of the area with respect to its high levels of Mexican narcotics trafficking and human smuggling. The area is approximately 30 miles from the Texas border with Mexico.
The left-of-center news outlets alleging that authorities believe an accident is to blame are largely giving half-truths. In any such investigation, the FBI would consider all possibilities–including that an accident was at fault or that an attack was to blame. This is standard procedure.
The only certainty at this point is that the public will not know exactly what occurred until the FBI decides it is appropriate to release more information.

Background: Chemotherapy, a multimodal approach to oncological treatment, involves highly complex regimens and hence accounts to high susceptibility toward adverse drug reactions (ADRs). The present study aims to determine the prevalence of adverse events in patients treated with chemotherapy. Materials and Methods: Spontaneous ADR report of patients on antineoplastic drugs received in the past 2 years (January 2011-January 2013) were studied. These reports were analyzed for various carcinomas under treatment, medications used, types of ADRs, organ system involvement, severity, causality assessment, and preventability. Results: Over a period of 2 years, a total 591 cases were received with an incidence of 58.6%. The prevalence of ADRs was more in female patients (73.6%) as compared to men. ADRs mostly occurred in the age group of 41-50 years (27.4%). Patients treated for breast carcinoma (39.1%) reported the highest incidence of ADRs. Cisplatin (19.6%) was found to be the most common offending drug. The most common ADR reported was nausea and vomiting (23%). Gastroenterology (40.1%) was the most affected system. About 50.2% of the ADRs required treatment and 12.9% ADRs were considered serious. Causality assessment revealed that 80% of the ADRs were possible. About 86.97% cases were found to be mild, and 51% were not preventable. Conclusion: The success of chemotherapy comes with the word of caution regarding toxicities of antineoplastic drugs. Pharmacovigilance of these drugs needs to be explored, and use of preventative measures needs to be enhanced in order to reduce the incidence and severity of ADRs.

Your sales staff should have mandatory ongoing training sessions. This should continue even after they have undergone "onboarding" training.
This is because no sales professional will remember everything from the training sessions that he or she may have received at the beginning.
Also, it makes sense for them to attend short training sessions (classroom training or e-learning). During these short sessions, they can revisit some of the concepts learned earlier.
It will furthermore help them look at some real-life sales scenarios, with which they can easily relate.
Your sales team is likely to consist of a mix of outstanding sales reps and average sales reps.
Those who are outstanding, close a lot more sales than the average sales reps, who just about manage to reach their targets. So, you need to identify a team of sales champions who can share useful tips to get more out of the Salesforce system.
This could be done during internal group training sessions on a regular basis.
Such training sessions need to focus on those sales processes which were actually unsuccessful for some of the sales reps.
The experts can identify the gaps and point out key tips on how to close the sales the next time, if a similar scenario occurs.
It's better if you don't organize long training sessions that are likely to block your sales resources for two to three days. Such sessions could even share too much information at once.
It may thus be impossible for your sales reps to remember all that is taught during such long training courses.
You should rather expose them to short training sessions every once in a while. During such session, limited information can be shared.
You can even give them access to useful Salesforce tips and case-study-based e-learning courses. They can access these whenever they want to.
You can also share a list of Salesforce related FAQs that your sales staff is likely to encounter. This can be done while you deal with their prospects or opportunities.
You should maintain a database of all the Salesforce training material. You should then encourage your sales staff to add information (post validation) based on their real-life experiences.
For example, a sales rep may have tried a new Salesforce customization technique that helped him or her close a sales deal. Such tips need to be included in the training material.
This way the other sales reps could benefit from even small innovations that helped others achieve success.
Most sales reps are already occupied with their own work and targets. So, some may not be very keen to spend time at training sessions to share knowledge that could benefit others.
So, you need to encourage your sales team to participate in the training. For example, they could be a trainer or contribute to the Salesforce training material database.
This could be done by rewarding the contributors and trainers with points, which they can redeem at the end of a specific period for some holidays or monetary rewards.
In a large organization, it may be difficult to keep tabs on who is learning what in your sales team. So, you need to make sure that your sales team only has access to the training material that is relevant to them.
This will make it easy for them to find the right information at the right time. They will also not need to receive training which is not useful to them till they reach a certain level in the organization.
Do you have any Salesforce training hacks to share? Please feel free to leave your comments below. Thanks for reading!

Ryan Moore: The views on my six rides on Dubai World Cup day
Ryan has six rides at Meydan on Saturday afternoon
The flat season is upon us which means the return of Ryan Moore's exclusive Betfair column. The three-time Champion Jockey will be giving his frank and honest views throughout the summer months, starting with the lowdown on his six rides in Meydan on Dubai World Cup day...
Ryan Moore on Planteur
"Marco knows full well what he is doing, and I am sure you will see a much sharper, fitter and better horse today. But, being honest, a place is probably the limit of my expectations. Hunter's Light, well drawn in four, is the horse to beat."
13:10 Meydan - Red Jazz
In a normal Godolphin Mile, I probably wouldn't be giving a 6yo with plenty of miles on the clock too much of a chance. But it looks a very open and winnable race this year, as it appears to lack a stand-out performer along the lines of an African Story. Red Jazz finished third to that horse in this last year and while he may not be the horse he was two or three years ago, when he was Group 1-placed, Red Jazz showed a pretty high level of form - in the context of this race anyway - when second to Fulbright in the Challenge Stakes last October.
I got on him for the first time on his comeback run here earlier in the month, when 10th of 14 in a Group 3. He clearly needs to improve massively on that run to take a hand in the finish here, but there was more promise in that run than it may have looked on TV, and I am sure that he will be sharper here. He has finished third in the last two Godolphin Miles and another similar placing wouldn't totally surprise me. Moonwalk In Paris would possibly have been my idea of the likeliest winner in a very tight race to call but is badly drawn, and another horse with similarly strong form claims but better drawn is Surfer.
13:45 Meydan - Imperial Monarch
Imperial Monarch may have a bit to prove against the likes of a peak-form Saddler's Rock or Cavalryman, but I think this lightly-raced colt has the potential to go close in this and probably has a favourite's chance. I'll be honest and say that he was slightly disappointing when I rode him in the International at Woodbine in October - we expected a bit more there - but I wouldn't be in a rush to judge him on that run. He had previously shown tons of talent, meeting all the trouble going in a carnage of a French Derby before winning another messy race in the Grand Prix De Paris.
I don't think the step up to 2m will be a problem, and he seems to have a lot more scope for improvement than a few in here. If he handles the quick surface, then he has a lot going for him. Of the others, there could be more to come from Tenenbaum, but Imperial Monarch is probably my best chance of the night.
14:25 Meydan - Lines Of Battle
This is a horse I have always liked, and I would like to think that he will give a good account of himself here from a good draw in four. I rode in the Curragh maiden that he won on his debut and that day he struck me as a lovely-looking horse going places. And I was on board when he was a promising sixth in the Coventry on his next start. He went on to progress further in his next two outings, before Aidan sent him over to contest the Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita in November. I was lucky enough to win that race on George Vancouver for the stable but I am sure that Aidan was happy enough with Lines Of Battle, who did well to finish in midfield after being drawn 14 of 14.
Richard's Law Enforcement went from strength to strength last season; the well-related Secret Number was very impressive here earlier in the month and could be the pick of the usual strong Godolphin hand in this race. But I just wonder whether he will be a bit too raw for this and not battle-hardened enough so early on in his career; I'm told the De Kock camp think that they haven't seen the best of Emotif and Zahee in Dubai yet but they clearly need to improve; and I actually rode Keiai Leone to win his maiden in Japan last year and I liked him. He is a nice, big, grey who is tough too, a good quality to have in these races.
Although this is something of a guessing game with so many unexposed horses, I am positive on the chances of Lines Of Battle.
15:45 Meydan - Taisei Legend
If Krypton Factor returns to the form of his defeat of Rocket Man in this race last year, then he is probably the one to beat. But he is badly drawn and hasn't been running to that level of form this season, and this looks another wide-open race.
Gordon Lord Byron won the Foret and developed into a genuine Group 1 performer last season, had an exercise canter in winning his prep at Dundalk - which is a similar surface to here so a positive in that respect - last time, and is obviously a leading contender here from a good draw. The problem is, so are loads of these. Australian Group 1 winner Mental won well on his Meydan debut last month and is a big danger; Trinniberg won the Breeders' Cup Sprint on dirt and has a big chance on form, but the surface is a question mark; Frederick Engels has been running well in Grade 1 company in Hong Kong; and Reply, who I rode to finish third in a Middle Park, could be an interesting outsider stepped back to 6f.
I ride Taisei Legend, and he is another horse stepping back in trip. Everyone knows how much I rate the strength of Japanese racing and this horse hasn't been getting home on his last two starts. He had earlier won what the Japanese call a local Grade 1 contest over 7f, but I think 6f may be his most effective trip in this class. Whether or not he has the Group 1 ability of some of these is obviously open to doubt and he is probably going to be one of the outsiders. But underestimate Japanese horses on the international stage at your peril.
16:40 Meydan - Wigmore Hall
Wigmore Hall has a pretty good record here; in fact, his two best career efforts arguably have come in this race, finishing third to Presvis in 2011 and fourth to Cityscape last year. If he runs to that level of form again, he may not be far away at all but the draw is a big negative. He rounded off last season with two good efforts over 1m4f at Woodbine, winning a Grade 1 race for the second successive year in September, so he is certainly not out of his depth in this company. And this is arguably a weaker Duty Free than in recent seasons. He felt fine when I rode him in a racecourse gallop at Lingfield last week and I would say he has outside place chances again.
Little Mike has to be respected on his Breeders Cup Turf win - that is probably the single best piece of form on offer here - and has shown Grade 1-winning form on turf over this trip in the States, and you would have to expect he would have needed his prep run here after a bad journey over from the States. But it remains to be seen whether he is fully recovered from that and comes here in top form. I think they are running him in the right race though.
Of the others, Giofra had Group 1-winning form against some of the better fillies in Europe last season and ran well at Sha Tin in December; Ocean Park has some very strong Group 1 winning form in Australia and New Zealand; Sajjhaa is on a roll and won the Jebel Hatta against a few of these last time; and Trade Storm could not have been more impressive in beating Musir and Fulbright over a mile last time. It is easy to get carried away with visually stunning performances like that but there was substance to the form, too. He could be the one to beat but being drawn 14 of 14 does him no favours at all and any one of about half a dozen will probably be fancying their chances in this.
18:05 Meydan - Planteur
A lot of people will think the Americans hold the winning hand here, but I wouldn't be so sure. I have obviously been out in Dubai a fair bit this winter and the horse that has probably impressed me most has been Hunter's Light. He has come a long way since finishing behind me on Carlton House in the Brigardier Gerard and Sea Moon in the Hardwicke last season and looks to have developed into a genuine Group 1 horse, his only defeat in his last six runs coming against Cirrus Des Aigles in the Prix Dollar.
He gained his first Group 1 win in Italy in November and has really looked the part in his two victories over this course and distance. I rode the third, Prince Bishop, when he won a Group 1 here by nearly three lengths last time - the horse he beat, Kassiano, didn't get the best of runs there but looked really progressive himself beforehand and, though badly drawn, is not without a chance himself here - and he looks a high class and improving horse who you know is suited by conditions. And, perhaps equally as important, he looks very straightforward. He may not even have to improve again to take this, and looks sure to run a big race.
And another one of his stablemates, the improving African Story, isn't totally out of it if staying on his first attempt at 1m2f; his pedigree does give a bit of encouragement that he may but most Pivotals excel at a mile or shorter.
But the Americans clearly hold far stronger claims on the book than him. Royal Delta is a four-time Grade 1 winner and those four wins have come on different tracks, so she is adaptable too, which may stand her in good stead in handling Dubai's Tapeta surface. She clearly didn't get the chance to show her best when hampered when well beaten in this race last year but her overall form in the US makes her a major player at these weights. She is a grinder who will probably try and go from the front, but I just wonder whether this track will suit her.
Dullahan is a horse I have always rated but he will have to have improved enormously from his run behind African Story here earlier in the month, albeit that race came over just a mile. But I do know that both he and Little Mike had a very bad journey over from the States before their prep runs. And there are two ways of looking at that. One is that they will come on a lot for them, but the other is that the bad trip will have taken a lot out of them. So who knows?
Animal Kingdom looks to have a lot more going for him, and is probably the most talented horse in the race. The 2011 Kentucky Derby winner and Preakness runner-up ran a tremendous race when second in a very strong Breeders Cup Mile at Santa Anita in November and I imagine connections were not too downbeat with his second to Point Of Entry, again on turf, at Gulfstream last month. We know he handles dirt, and if he takes to this surface then he could prove to be the best of the Americans.
But anything drawn high has a lot to overcome, whatever their run-style. I hear there is some confidence in Treasure Beach improving a good deal on his prep race behind Hunter's Light, and I know the horse well, having ridden him to beat Nathaniel in a Chester Vase. Mike de Kock has been having a good Carnival and it wouldn't surprise me were he to be thereabouts in what is clearly a very open race.
And I obviously know Red Cadeaux well, too. He is turning into another remarkable globetrotter for Ed; don't underestimate what it takes to win a Hong Kong Vase, but you have to think he may struggle for pace over 1m2f against some of these.
Then there is my mount, Planteur. He ran a great race when third in this race last year and I suppose odds of around 15.014/1 look pretty accurate in what looks to a better race depth-wise. A lot of people were underwhelmed by his narrow win in the Lingfield Winter Derby Trial last time. And if he ran to that level of form here, he would probably finish last. But I remember being similarly unimpressed by him when I rode him in a piece of work at Wolverhampton before he travelled to Dubai for last year's race, and then he went and finished third. Marco knows full well what he is doing, and I am sure you will see a much sharper, fitter and better horse today. But, being honest, a place is probably the limit of my expectations. Hunter's Light, well drawn in four, is the horse to beat.
