Among the Democratic candidates, the fact that many people, including former President Jimmy Carter, are urging Gore to run is also an indication that not all is sanguine on the Democratic side.
Should Gore succumb to a draft it would be bad news for the Republicans.
They might defeat Clinton because she is such a polarizing figure. Gore, who in 2000 won the most number of popular votes by one half million, would be very difficult to defeat.
Many believe he was cheated out of his last race. That would give him an emotional edge this time. We shall see.
Paul Weyrich полагает что республиканцам здорово поплошает если Гор примет участие в гонке. По его мнению шансы Гора на победу будут выше чем у Хиллари Клинтон. Хиллари поляризует избирателей. У ней сильный слой приверженцев и столь же мощный слой избирателй ее на дух не переносят. Тогда как Гор не имеет такого заряда к себе неприязни - с одной стороны, а с другой можно вспомнить что за него проголосовало большинство американцев - на полмиллиона больше чем за Буша - в 2000 году.
Ему возражают некоторые - большинство - из участников об том дискуссии.
Ниже два характерной аргументации примера таких возражений.
Gore's Not That Stupid. Gore's a doofus, he's a dolt,he has an ego the size of an endangered whale, Global Warmed Baloney has his picture on it but if Paul Weyrich thinks Gore's dumb enough to stand in front of the Clinton Crime Family's stampede towards The Big One he's dead wrong.
There are the skeletons in Gore's closet from the eight years that he served as one of the Crime Family's yeggs and Nobel Prize or not they'll throw him into the wood-chipper MUY PRONTO if he makes a fuss.
He might be concerned about the state of the oceans but that doesnt mean he wants to sleep with the fishes.The Clinton Crime Family is too close to the Big Enchilada to let a goof like that screw it up. Gore still must be wondering whether they set him up to lose in 2000 to pave Dragon Lady's way back to power. It aint gonna happen.
Gore Ain't Running. Why should he? He won an Oscar, an Emmy, a NOBEL PEACE PRIZE! With all the publicity he's gotten he knows he can effective shape policy from the sidelines without having to throw his hat in the ring. Plus he knows the value of a good DISTRACTION!
If he can divert attention away from the election(Republican attention specifically) then he's done his job!
Gore will contunue to work on the moderate to liberal wing of the Republican party and Independents with his Global Warming plan. As more and more moderate conservative buy in the natural progression siphons off votes to Hillary. Plus not being in the race also give him carte blanche to say whatever he wants to without having to worry about political damage.
And lastly somebody tell the townspeople that Duncan Hunter doesn't have a chance. He will be the next person to drop out of the race. Ron Paul will hang in there longer than he will.


If we live, we live to the Lord: and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
One of the incredible realizations we have as Christians is that our relationship with the Lord is eternal. As we seek after him, he is always there and no one can separate us from his love. Even when we die, we go to "be with the Lord." When we sleep in death, we are still "in the Lord." When he returns in glory we will go to "be with the Lord forever." Everything we have on earth is temporary except our love for the Lord Jesus, our praise of God through him, and our friends with whom we share that love and praise!
Almighty God, thank you so much for binding yourself to our world in Jesus and binding me close to you through his lordship in my life. I look forward to the day when the Lord I kneel to worship today will be recognized by all the living and the dead as the One True Lord. I commit to live this day to honor him, and I know dear Father, that by honoring him I honor you. I praise and thank you for the gift of Jesus' eternal and abiding lordship in the name of the Christ my Lord. Amen.
Today and over the last several weeks, our brothers and sisters in Iraq and many other places in the Middle East and Africa, have had to make the ultimate sacrifice for their faith. They have been servants to the end. Some have been crucified. Some have seen their children beheaded before they were killed. They have had their earthly lives destroyed. Please take a minute and go to Voice of the Martyrs and learn more about their plight and pray about ways you can help. Thank you!

The latest update from Spring and Autumn 2008 shows a positive growth in cycling. Between 2007 and 2008 there has been an increase in numbers cycling by 44.6% and the estimated modal share for cycle use is 11.19%.
An impressive achievement that is rightly celebrated. Camden repeat it in their more general transport reports as the take-home-message on cycling.
Cycling fell by 16% between 2006 and 2007 which was out of line with the longer term trends. The recent data has indicates that 2007 was a "blip" year with 2008 showing cycling increases and the overall trend back on track.
Fancy that. This is how cycling revolutions are made.
Seriously, though: these kind of numbers matter, because basic data on cycling demographics are needed if, for example, medical statisticians are to be able to comment on why we see the patterns that we see in cyclist death and injury. I don't necessarily think that collecting that sort of serious data is something that we should be expecting overstretched borough and district councils to do. But there isn't anyone else.

Kangana Ranaut On Leaked E-Mails To Hrithik Roshan: Felt Naked, Cried For Nights
Kangana Ranaut said: "What's not justice is to make fun of a woman's vulnerabilities and sort of embarrass her for her desires"
Written by: Nilanjana Basu | December 17, 2016 15:20 IST (New Delhi)

Kangana Ranaut, Hrithik Roshan met on the sets of Kites in 2009
Kangana Ranaut, Hrithik Roshan exchanged legal notices
It all started when Kangana obliquely referred to Hrithik as 'a silly ex'
Warring stars Kangana Ranaut and Hrithik Roshan trends yet again on Saturday as Ms Ranaut opened up about what she went through during the public feud with the Krrish 3 actor, reported Indian Express. Earlier this year, Hrithik Roshan had alleged that Kangana Ranaut was fabricating a romantic relationship with him. Hrithik also filed a case with the Mumbai Police claiming that someone impersonating him was corresponding with Ms Ranaut through e-mails. Ms Ranaut, who said that she dated Hrithik from 2009, had reportedly sent 1439 emails to Hrithik. Contents of the alleged e-mails were leaked on social media when the investigation began earlier this year. It all started when Kangana obliquely referred to Hrithik Roshan as "a silly ex" in an interview. Mr Roshan initiated legal action following which, both sides exchanged legal notices. Ms Ranaut and Mr Roshan met on the sets of Kites in 2009.
At a recent media interaction, Ms Ranaut said that she felt rather "exposed" when the contents of her letters (she is perhaps referring to the e-mails), were revealed during the ongoing feud with Hrithik, reported Indian Express. "The letters that I might have written were brutally exposed to the world. How did I feel as a human being because every letter that you've written to your lover holds a lot of vulnerability? You are exposing part of your soul or yourself, not to the world but to an individual. I felt extremely naked in front of the world. I cried for nights in my room. People make fun of me. But I never answered to that brutality in the same spirit. I think that makes me see myself as a winner," Indian Express quoted Kangana Ranaut as saying.
"I can't help if I am not good enough for an individual but I think what's not justice is to make fun of a woman's vulnerabilities and sort of embarrass her for her desires. As far as letters are concerned, I've gone ahead to tell my side of the story," she added, reported Indian Express.
Ms Ranaut also highlighted that the curtains were drawn on her love story when "the man" bailed out of a relationship with "the woman with fire in her belly," reported Indian Express. "But the thing is, I cannot help if I have fire in my belly. To make myself worthy of an individual or my lover, I have crossed mental landscapes, human landscapes and all sort of distances covered. But what happens when these worlds meet and you are faced with extreme brutality? I am saying this because people have seen how I have put up a strong front to fight but nobody has seen what I feel as a woman, when I am subjected to that kind of brutality," Indian Express quoted Ms Ranaut.
In November, a statement issued by Hrithik Roshan discarded reports stating their investigation into the e-mails Kangana Ranaut alleged were exchanged between Mr Roshan and her has ended. "Media reports that the case is closed are totally false," said a representative of Mr Roshan. Hrithik Roshan was perhaps referring to Mumbai Mirror, which reported that the case was closed.
Hrithik Roshan, 42, and Kangana Ranaut, 29, have also co-starred in 2013's Krrish 3. Mr Roshan was last seen in box office dud Mohenjo Daro. His next film Kaabil opens on January 25 and clashes with Shah Rukh Khan's Raees.
Ms Ranaut won her third National Award this year, for her film Tanu Weds Manu Returns. She will next be seen in Vishal Bhardwaj's Rangoon.

TALLY STICK MONEY
The tally stick was a unique form of money that seemingly existed on the power of thin air through the fiat principle. They were most prominent in medieval England and also used to a lesser degree in France, Germany and numerous other nations and settlements of ancient times.
Tallies in one form or another have existed from prehistoric times but the most significant use of them was began by King Henry I in England in 1100 AD and were in use for an amazing 726 years. The split tally was accepted as legal proof in medieval courts and the Napoleonic Code of 1804 still makes reference to the tally stick in Article 1333.
The tally sticks owed their prominent financial use to King Henry's response to a dire economic situation when he assumed the throne. He discovered that the Crusades had siphoned off most of the gold and silver that could be used as money. He found himself in a similar situation to Lincoln before the Civil War. He either had to borrow at excessive interest from the money lenders of the day or improvise with a system of his own.
Just as Lincoln chose to create a fiat money that did not borrow from any lender even so did Henry create a tally system that was backed by no commodity and was interest free. There was a huge difference on how the two financial instruments were used. The greenbacks bought war materials that were either destroyed or of little use after the war. These added little or nothing to the nation's actual wealth.
On the other hand, many of the tallies were used to finance agriculture, construction and essential trades that helped the people live more abundant lives.
Some critics of fiat money have claimed that the tally stick was not fiat, or even money but merely IOUs that had to be paid off in gold or silver coin.
This presentation is extremely misleading and distorted. First there was very little gold and silver in the kingdom as most of it was shipped out of the country for the Crusades. Many of the tallies were redeemed for commodities instead.
As for whether they were fiat or not – let us examine how they worked and see.
"A tally was a stock about nine inches or so long with each of the four sides about ½ inch wide. On two of the sides, the value of the "tally" was carved into the wood. On the other two sides, the amount was printed in ink.
"The tally was then split in half lengthwise. One half remained in the treasury and the other half was given to soldiers for their pay, to farmers for wheat, to armorers for armor, and to laborers for their labor.
From War Cycles – Peace Cycles by Richard Hoskins, Virginia Publishing (2000)
There were a number of advantages for using the tally sticks.
(1) They could be used like money, but they were interest free.
(2) They were virtually impossible to counterfeit. Each tally had different grains in the wood and different records and notches engraved that appeared on both halves. To be legal you had to match your half with the King's half.
(3) They did not need any gold or silver to back them but were backed by commodities that did not even exist at the time of issue. These commodities could be future produce, something manufactured or even gold or silver that the person hoped to acquire.
(4) They were basically inflation proof. Unlike money in our current system they could not be produced in unlimited amounts. The number of tallies made would be limited by the estimated production or wealth of the people. Then when the tallies were turned in for taxes or payment during Michaelmas (the harvest time) they no longer existed within the system and new ones had to be created. There could only be an increase in tally sticks if there was a corresponding increase of anticipated production and since each person was responsible for the value of his tally stick there was little desire to inflate its value.
(5) Tally sticks were widely accepted by the people for two reasons. First, tally sticks of some kind have been used for elementary record keeping since civilization began and people trusted them. Secondly, the king insured its equivalency to money by issuing a fiat that they can be used to pay taxes. In addition the various kings used tally sticks for money themselves.
It wasn't long before the value of tally sticks in circulation far exceeded gold and silver money. Richard Hoskins (cited earlier) estimates that by the end of the seventeenth century the tallies in circulation had a value of about fourteen million pounds yet the coined metals at the time never exceeded a half million pounds in value.
By 1694 the tally sticks evolved into being represented by paper bills and by 1697 they circulated interchangeably as money with banknotes and bankbills.
The amazing thing is that life was a good during the height of the tally system. Contrary to popular belief the people prospered and had to work much fewer hours to make a living than they do today.
Monetary author Ellen Brown makes this interesting observation:
"Modern schoolbooks generally portray the Middle Ages as a time of poverty, backwardness, and economic slavery, from which the people were freed only by the Industrial Revolution; but reliable early historians painted a quite different picture. Thorold Rogers, a nineteenth century Oxford historian, wrote that in the Middle Ages, "a labourer could provide all the necessities for his family for a year by working 14 weeks." Fourteen weeks is only a quarter of a year! The rest of the time, some men worked for themselves; some studied; some fished. Some helped to build the cathedrals.
Web of Debt by Ellen H. Brown, 2008, Page 60
She continues:
"Economic historians like Rogers and Gibbins declare that during the best period of the Middle Ages – say, from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century, inclusive – there was no such grinding and hopeless poverty, no such chronic semi-starvation in any class, as exists to-day among large classes in the great cities . . . . In the Middle Ages there was no class resembling our proletariat, which has no security, no definite place, no certain claim upon any organization or institution in the socio-economic organism. Page 61
The great cathedrals were not only built with mostly unpaid voluntary labor but they were also maintained by volunteers. The people had free time and used it to increase the wealth of the kingdom and took pride in keeping public buildings and works of art in good shape.
They also had free time for learning, which explains why many great universities, libraries and centers of learning were established during that time.
There is an interesting book in the public domain by James J. Walsh called "The Thirteenth, Greatest Of Centuries" detailing how this was actually the most wonderful century in which to live that set the foundations to many of the amenities we value today. This was also the century when the use of the tally stick matured and came into almost universal use and acceptance in England.
The tally stick worked great and everyone was happy except the bankers. They were not getting their cut in interest from the tallies and decided to act as soon as they had the opportunity.
That opportunity came near the end of the seventeenth century after lengthy and costly wars with France and the Netherlands. The tally sticks did a great job of keeping the internal economy functioning, but external wars demanded large expenditures of gold and silver which were accepted outside the country. Goldsmiths were charging 30-80% interest on small loans and what coinage was left was clipped about 50%. The public lost millions of pounds because of goldsmiths going bankrupt.
Bankers proposed creating a Bank of England to solve the money problems. With a name like this it sounded like a government bank but in reality it was a private bank composed of private investors. The bank practiced fractional reserve banking and loaned the government money that it could have created for itself. Government debt went from 1.4 million pounds in 1694 to 16 million in 1698. The prices of most things doubled.
It is interesting that tallies were one of the sources used to finance this bank yet after it became established the bank saw the tallies as competition and from that point on sought to destroy them. Even so, some continued to be used until 1826 when they were removed from circulation and stored in the houses of Parliament.
In 1834 the tallies were ordered to be burned in the two furnaces in the House of Lords. This wound up starting a fire that got out of control and burned down both Houses of Parliament. It almost seemed like divine retribution for trashing a money system that worked so well.
Those with a negative view of fiat money cannot deny that the tally system was successful so they save face by saying that it was not fiat money at all, or not even money but merely like a promissory note. Others have said they were used like a modern day credit card.
No matter how you look at it the fiat principle was behind the use of the tally stick. Yes, the tally stick was like a promissory note, but a note authorized to be used as money. Many promissory notes of today or yesterday are not backed by gold, silver or any commodity. They are a promise to pay only backed by fiats of the issuers and the power of their good names. Just like our fiat dollars today are promissory notes from the Federal Reserve and are used as money even so were the tally sticks individual promissory notes also used as money.
There was a huge difference however. The tally sticks did not involve interest and never drove the government deeper into debt and did not contribute to inflation. This was why they were successful for numerous centuries.
Then the tallies had the fiat of the King authorizing them to be used as money to pay taxes. It's difficult to see the reasoning as to why some critics do not see the Tallies as fiat money when two different fiats were involved and they were virtually backed by thin air. Just because they do not exactly fit the parameters of fiat money of today does not mean they were not based on the fiat principle.
Another criticism is the tallies were not even money because they were sometimes discounted or that discounting them was as bad as paying interest.
If an owner waited for the tally to mature then he received the full value but if he needed the value early in or if he had to use it in another country he had to trade them at a discount for commodities or coins. For internal use they were traded as money at a standard value just as money is today.
The occasional discounting does not alter the fact that they were used as money and had a more consistent value than does the fiat money of our age. Even in our time promissory notes and contracts are used as money on a number of levels, but the tally had the additional legal monetary authorization of the King.
The tallies were not in the same category money loaned at interest today for they drew no interest. First, only a small number were discounted whereas all new money today is created through loans at interest. Secondly, the tallies did not add to the public debt as is the case with today's money.
Unless one takes the path of splitting hairs there is no other way to view the era of the tally sticks then as one of a successful fiat money.

"We no longer talk about Russian music, books, cinema, works of art. They no longer exist in our heads and in our hearts.

TestimonialsFrom kyiv, Sasha follows the news of the Cannes Film Festival, marked by the speech of the Ukrainian president Zelensky and the presence in competition of the Russian filmmaker Kirill Serebrennikov. In Paris, her sister Olga de Ella also wonders about the impact of Russian culture on her lives. For the thirteenth week, they recount their daily life.
Olga and Sasha are two Ukrainian sisters. The first is 34 years old and is a wine merchant in Paris, where she has lived for seven years. The second, 33, lives in kyiv, as does her mother and her partner Viktor. After spending the beginning of the conflict all together, Sasha now lives in a small apartment, alone with her dog. The two sisters have agreed, since the beginning of the conflict, to take their logbook to M The World Magazine. This week, life resumes in kyiv, which is not directly under the bombs. Sasha gets used to her new job and returns to the movies. In France, it's the Cannes Film Festival. Olga is nostalgic for everything that reminds her of Ukrainian culture. They reflect on the role Russian culture has played in their lives.
tuesday may 17
Olga: Tonight I had a drink with a friend and we talked about one of my best friends: S. I was with him in primary school. Together with his father, they are well-known potters in kyiv. [Kiev, M respecte le choix orthographique d'Olga et de Sasha]. They hung small bronze sculptures in the city that symbolize the history of Kyiv: there is the Kyiv chestnut tree, the Kyiv tram, the Kyiv cake… I especially like the chicken sculpture, the first one.
kyiv style chicken is an institution! I love this dish – it's chicken with herb butter, dill and grated or pressed garlic. When I lived in Ukraine, I never cooked it. I prepared it in France at Yanis [son compagnon], and he loved it. We had it again in kyiv last summer. We walked around the city, I showed him my favorite places and we stopped at a small restaurant-canteen where Ukrainian soldiers returning from the Eastern Front used to go. These memories bring tears to my eyes.
Sasha: Our dad had eye surgery and Viktor's dad was diagnosed with cancer. He is also going to be operated on. This news is already worrying, but with the war around us, it becomes almost unbearable. For the rest, the days go by quickly, they are intense. I am learning my new job. I like very much.
Tonight was the opening of the Cannes Film Festival. Zelensky made a surprise speech on video, it was very loud. He talked about Charlie Chaplin and his movie. The dictator… I hallucinate every time he speaks, I would like to be part of the team that imagines and writes what he says. I know that he is also very involved in writing his speeches. As I am a total fan of cinema, it was a very special moment to see him intervene in Cannes…

These local elected officials who seek to democratize the health system


"I am NOT buying a yellow Charger" I said to my brother in law when he let me know they had one on his lot. That would be a ticket machine. Then I drove it. Just enough power to be fun. There is more room that any car I have owned. What I like best is the number of people that have actually said to me "Nice car" when I am out and about. It is a little too "plasticky" on the inside to be considered a high quality vehicle, but it is more fun to drive than my 300C was, and that is saying a lot.
Great engine. Fantastic overall appearance. Roomy. The favorite thing about the vehicle to me is that, even though it is a Spartan interior compared to many cars currently being manufactured, it was fully loaded for that year and has all that I need rather than having several expensive, unneeded add-ons.
Poor gas mileage. Engine could use a bit more power.
The Dodge Charger is a a high performance machine that is easy on the eye. It gets excellent gas mileage. It has a powerful engine. It has a nice design inside and out. It is a perfect car for someone wanting power and style together.
I brought this car three days before I went on my first date with my current girlfriend. I took her out in this car. We had a blast and ended up having our first kiss in this car. The car and the girl have been loyal to me since.
The engine is powerful. I've never had any issues under the hood; I've put it through some extreme conditions and it's never let me down. The car is very reliable and handles exceptionally well. If you treat this car well, it will treat you well.
The one problem I've had with this car is the brakes. I had to replace the brake pads multiple times. It seems to be a reoccurring issue.
They were so inviting and it never felt like i was being pressured to buy anything. We walked in and was able to get assistance immediately even though there were several other people there as well. We test drove 4 vehicles and was able to get the paper work done for the car that we wanted within an hour after we had accepted the price. They have been wonderful about helping us since the purchase contacting us several times to make sure that everything is working out great for us. They are very knowledgeable about the vehicles that they have on their lot.
I had been searching around for a nicer used car to use throughout high school and college without avail. On my last stop of the day I decided to try Bob Brown, a very large dealership. I saw the 2002 Dodge neon, which was a little high on my price range, but decided to give it a drive and everything sounded and looked very smooth. I was able to get the price down to an acceptable offer and made the purchase that day. The dealership was great in making sure that even though the car was used, they had replaced everything possible and cleaned it to perfection before I came along. It was great to know that in buying a slightly older used car with no warranty, that I could count on it for many years before I would have to invest in a large repair. This turned out to be exactly the case as the car has run as smoothly as I could have hoped for in the years after I purchased it.

Dolphin Entertainment Acquires B/HI, Gaming PR Firm Will Operate as Division of 42West (EXCLUSIVE)
Entertainment marketing and production company Dolphin Entertainment is acquiring boutique gaming and e-sports PR firm B/HI, formerly known as Bender/Helper Impact.
Under the terms of the deal, B/HI will operate as a division of public relations agency and Dolphin subsidiary 42West, with B/HI founder Dean Bender and Shawna Lynch leading the unit as co-presidents. B/HI, founded by Bender in 1986, specializes in corporate and product communications across gaming, e-sports, entertainment programming and consumer products groups.
"The acquisition of B/HI provides a tremendous gateway into the last remaining large vertical of entertainment for our Super Group – video gaming and esports," said Dolphin CEO Bill O'Dowd. "Video gamers are celebrities in their own right, and among the most popular social media influencers in the world. We believe the opportunities to cross-sell services with B/HI will be numerous, as will be the possibilities to create original content and live events. Dean and Shawna are seasoned, well-respected entertainment PR professionals who share our collaborative culture, and we couldn't be more excited that they and the staff at B/HI have joined the Dolphin family."
The agency has offices in Los Angeles and New York, and in addition to e-sports organizations such as Immortals, Super League Gaming and Team Liquid, B/HI has represented a wide range of companies, including Amazon Studios, Boat Rocker Media, CBS Home Entertainment, DC Comics, HBO Home Entertainment, Funko, Rovio Entertainment, Nexon, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment and Warner Bros. Consumer Products.
"It became immediately apparent to Shawna and me that by joining the Dolphin Entertainment Super Group of PR and marketing firms that we can really maximize our current client relationships as well as provide a wealth of uniquely-curated services to prospective clients," said Bender. "We've always been aware of how dominant 42West is in the entertainment sector of public relations. It's an honor to join Amanda and her team to be able to supplement and diversify the client roster."
The multi-billion dollar gaming industry has grown steadily worldwide. A NewZoo report from December estimates that the market will generate $189.3 billion in global revenue in 2021 across 2.8 billion gamers, with annual cloud gaming revenue surpassing the $1 billion mark for the first time. And Insider Intelligence projects a 9% compound annual growth rate in e-sports viewership between 2019 and 2023, ultimately reaching 646 million.
In addition to 42West, The Door and Shore Fire Media are also subsidiaries of the publicly traded Dolphin Entertainment.
"Dean and Shawna have built a business with vision and relevance that could not be more at home at 42West," said 42West CEO Amanda Lundberg. "I'm thrilled they have chosen to bring B/HI's valuable expertise in gaming, e-sports and consumer products to 42West. This latest addition to the Dolphin collective of agencies will not only benefit existing and new clients but be a key step in our creation of assets."

5 Ice Cream Truck Songs That Weren't Written By Racist A-Holes
As if there's not already enough wrong with the world, Americans were treated, this week, to the news that the Ice Cream Truck song is racist, and not just a little, but like, 11 on the racist scale. Before aggrieved white people completely lose their shit over black people ruining yet another thing, though, there are other ice cream truck songs that aren't racist, and which you can still enjoy while continuing not to think about racism.
As if there's not already enough wrong with the world, Americans were treated, this week, to the news that arguably the most recognizable ice cream truck song is racist, And not just a little, but like, an 11 on the RAF™ Scale.
Before aggrieved white people completely lose their shit over black people ruining yet another thing, though, there are other ice cream truck songs that aren't racist, and which you can still enjoy while continuing not to think about racism. If you're looking for a list of ice cream truck songs that won't make you want to stick knives in your ears, we can't help you:
1. Mister Softee
This New York City favorite was written in 1960 by Les Waas, can only be played by NYC ice cream vendors when their trucks are moving, and is the perfect setup for Viagra jokes. The lyrics aren't racist, either, but do include the phrase "ding-a-ling down the street" and was a source of a childhood trauma endured by Larry David.
2. "Rocket Sauce"
Popularized by Tenacious D, this tune is based on "Sailing, Sailing," because nothing says "ice cream" like being on a pirate ship.
3. "Hello"
According to The Washington Post, this nostalgic chimey earworm "is no song at all. Rather, it is a medley of tunes. An Asian manufacturer placed it on a computer chip to show off a new technology. It was just supposed to be a sample, but (ice cream music mogul Mark) Nichols included it in the Omni music box. It became an ice cream standard."
Sometimes referred to as "The Ghetto Ice Cream Song," so okay, that's a little racist.
4. Michael Hearst's Songs For Ice Cream Trucks
An entire album of 13 ice cream truck songs that won't make you think about racism at all. Well, okay, maybe "Ice Cream Yo!" is a little bit racist. Damn.
5. "The Entertainer"
Scott Joplin's ragtime standard is one of the most popular tunes for ice cream trucks to butcher. While it's not racist, the ragtime genre did spawn a racist sub-genre of "coon songs," because of course it did.
Well, you get the idea, there are lots of public domain songs that don't have the n-word in them. Now, I know what you're thinking right now. What are all of these ice cream men supposed to do with their existing music? Who's going to pay for all of that? (the answer: WHITE PEOPLE!!) It's not like they can just flip a switch.
Actually, yes, they can just flip a switch. The industry standard for ice cream truck music is, apparently, Nichols Electronics' Digital II, which literally allows the driver to flip a switch between eight different songs -- only one of which is racist. Does "La Cucaracha" count? Oh, shit, "Camptown Races."
The racist origins of the Ice Cream Song were sussed out by Theodore Johnson, III sort of confirmed my suspicion with his excellent article at NPR's Code Switch blog, came across the song "Nigger Love A Watermelon Ha! Ha! Ha!" while researching racial stereotypes, and immediately recognized the tune. While the song is usually credited as "Turkey in the Blind," Johnson has the Ice Cream Song dead to rights as the later, more racist version, which even references ice cream in the lyrics.
Also of great interest is the piece that Johnson wrote tracing the origins of the watermelon stereotype, in which he first discovered the origins of the Ice Cream Truck Song, and in which he also reveals the irony that. although he personally hates watermelon. "I'm a black man with a watermelon for a birthmark."
I know how he feels. My birthmark is a silhouette of Kenny G.
What's remarkable about Johnson's article, though, is that I actually don't know how he feels, and never will, because I don't live in a culture whose every sedimentary layer is contaminated with hatred and contempt for my very being. As Ani DiFranco was accidentally right about when she freaked out on people who didn't like her workshopping on a plantation, you can't throw a rock in America without hitting something that was enabled by racism.
For some white people, though, the thought of racism can be very painful, even downright terrifying, so if you've read Mr. Johnson's piece, and are afraid you can never eat ice cream again without being angry with him for ruining it for you, there's good news: there are lots of other ice cream truck songs that aren't racist.
Of course, you could always deal with racist ice cream truck songs the way NPR's Theodore Johnson III does: like a Toasted Almond Bar, nut up and deal with it:
"And so when a song about niggers and watermelon fills the suburban air, I will smile and hand over money from my pocket. The sight of my children enjoying a Good Humor ice cream bar will fight back the racist song that lampooned black people who happened to be in good humor. The delivery of the cold hard truth can wait until another day."

Number Crunching 2.0
Michelle V. Rafter
If you've been waiting to ditch your desktop accounting software for a Web-based application, Microsoft may have given you a good reason to
If you've been waiting to ditch your desktop accounting software for a Web-based application, Microsoft may have given you a good reason to do it sooner rather than later.
The software giant disclosed last week that after November 16 it will stop selling its Microsoft Office Accountant software line, including both desktop and online versions – thus ending its long battle to compete effectively with Intuit's QuickBooks programs.
For soon-to-be-former Office Accountant users, or anyone who's in the market for a new way to send invoices, track expenses and create profit and loss reports, a Web-based app may be the way to go.
The past few years has seen an influx of Web-based accounting and bookkeeping apps from established players -including Intuit, which sells a Web-based version of QuickBooks called Quickbooks Online. They've been joined by online-only start ups such as Clarity Accounting, Less Accounting and Numia.biz, and open source or shareware programs such as GnuCash and LedgerSMB.
On the plus side, Web-based programs live "in the cloud," meaning program and data files live on a server connected to the Internet and can be accessed through a browser from a PC or smartphone anywhere there's an Internet connection. Most are subscription-based, with users paying either a flat annual fee or monthly subscription.
Some desktop software fans remain unswayed by the online innovation. Kathleen Schneibel, a Minneapolis CPA who providing accounting services for small businesses, says she's not comfortable putting that much of her clients' financial information on someone else's servers. Schneibel, who worked as a company controller before hanging out a shingle three years ago, says if someone wants 24/7 access to financial records, why not just keep the program on a laptop? "And if you're paying someone each month you'll end up paying way more than if you just bought it yourself," she says.
But Jeff Nicol, a contract chief privacy officer in Hood River, Oregon, affirmed his belief that Web-based is the way to go after using both types of programs over the past year. Nicol has used QuickBooks Online for his own business, Privacy Ready LLC, for some years. He likes the convenience of being able to share information with his accountant without needing to burn the files onto a CD. "It makes it really easy to interface with her when it's tax time," Nicol says. What's more, upgrades happen without him having to do anything, and he doesn't have to worry about backing up his computer to protect data from being lost. "You just turn it on and it's there," he says.
Then Nicol took over as secretary and treasurer of a Hood River-based non-profit business group, the Columbia River Gorge Technology Alliance, and assumed the responsibility for their financial records, which had been created on QuickBooks' desktop version. That meant Nicol had to buy the software, install it on his computer, import and set up the files.
For general peace of mind, he subscribed to an online back-up service to run regular saves on the data. "It's definitely more work for me," he says. Sharing information is harder too, since he has to email it to fellow board members rather than letting them to look at it online. Says Nicol: "If I were on vacation or got hit by a truck, I'd be a bottleneck, not because I want to be, but by the nature of having the software sitting on my machine."
Meanwhile, if you're currently a Microsoft Accountant customers, a FAQ posted on the Microsoft website suggests that free Excel templates packaged with Microsoft Office are "a better option" for small businesses. Microsoft will stop supporting add-on services for the program from eBay and Equifax on Dec. 15, but will continue offering users phone help for five years, though exactly how long depends on what version of the software they use and how long ago they bought it. Anyone who bought the program within in the past 30 days can get a refund.

Excalibur secures seven-figure funding to support growth
Vodafone platinum partner signs deal with HSBC to support organic and acquisitive growth strategy, including the financing of a management buy-out
Excalibur has secured a seven-figure funding package with HSBC Commercial Bank to support future growth plans, incorporating the financing of a management buy-out (MBO).
The move is expected to create 20 new sales jobs before the end of January 2013, adding to its existing workforce of 60 staff, and drive revenues at the company as it looks for both organic and acquisitive growth.
HSBC's Wiltshire Commercial team has provided the financial package, which includes extended working capital facilities to support these plans. Swindon-based IT communications company Excalibur moved its full business banking to HSBC last year in a deal led by the bank's senior international commercial manager Gary Mealing.
The MBO sees Excalibur CEO James Phipps (pictured) become the majority shareholder with an 80 per cent stake in the business. Managing director and founder Gary Wetherall will step down, although he retains a stake in the business.
Following the MBO, Phipps has appointed four new senior managers, including Dave Wardell as sales director and Tim O'Donnell as operations director. Wardell was head of global sales at Nokia Siemens Networks, with O'donnell VP of operations at IT services company Sentaca.
Sally Parker will take on the role of Excalibur's service delivery manager while Melanie Stevens has been recruited as HR manager.
Excalibur, which also has offices in Chertsey and Basildon, provides mobile communications, telecoms and IT services to over 5,000 businesses. It also sponsors Swindon Town Football Club manager Paolo Di Canio and the club's Stratton Bank stand.
Phipps said: "Revenues are up 50 per cent on this time last year but we think there is scope for further growth in this market. I am keen to push the boundaries of this business and to ensure we continue to further exceed our customers' needs and expectations. HSBC's role was critical in this MBO and we see the bank as a valued and long-term partner."
Mealing said: "We have been impressed by James's passion and tenacity in driving Excalibur's growth and it is exactly the type of business that is helping the UK's economy trade out of these difficult times. The company is recruiting, innovating and displaying confidence and we look forward to working with Excalibur as it continues on its growth plan."

The accounting and audit functions must be segregated in an SMSF.
Where Superannuation Warehouse is the Fund's accountant and tax agent, the audit fee is included.
Superannuation Warehouse also provides auditing services for other accountants as well as for SMSFs for whom we provide no other services. Cost control is a key factor in the success of an SMSF. That's why we provide price certainty for conducting audits.
Audit independence means that the auditor and auditing firm cannot also provide non audit services to the SMSF. For a diagram on audit independence, see page 53 of the Audit Independence Guide.
We recognise there are significant efficiencies associated with auditing multiple SMSFs, particularly where they have a similar structure (e.g. a similar trust deed). Accordingly, we offer a discount to accountants, financial planners and SMSF Administrators with multiple funds which require auditing. Just add "Multiple Funds" in the audit quoting tool.

Betrayal or cooperation? Analytical investigation of behavior drivers
Using game magnetization and susceptibility in an analytic investigation of cooperation with infinite numbers of people
image: At the macroscopic level, there are numerous examples of people cooperating to form groupings.

WASHINGTON, September 8, 2020 -- When looking at humanity from a macroscopic perspective, there are numerous examples of people cooperating to form societies, countries, religions, and other groupings.
Yet at the basic two-person level, people tend to betray each other, as found in social dilemma games like the prisoner's dilemma, even though people would receive a better payoff if they cooperated among themselves.
The topic of cooperation and how and when people start trusting one another has been studied by various researchers who have addressed this problem numerically. In a paper in Chaos, by AIP Publishing, researchers investigate what drives cooperation analytically.
In order to investigate what happens when an infinite number of people, instead of two people, play a game like the prisoner's dilemma, the researchers mapped the two-player game to a two-spin ID Ising model, which is a 1D line of interacting spins in the presence of an external magnetic field.
Spins can either point clockwise, which is up, or counterclockwise, which is down. The net difference between the fraction of spins pointing up to those pointing down provides the analytic result for the magnetization.
"Game magnetization is an excellent measure of how in the overall scheme of things the total number of players respond to different payoffs," said Colin Benjamin, one of the authors. "In our work, we go beyond game magnetization and look at game susceptibility, too."
An analytical result for susceptibility probes the net change in the fraction of players adopting a certain strategy for both classic and quantum social dilemmas and pinpoints the real drivers of cooperative behavior, which can vary given the situation.
The findings in this research can be applied to analytical solutions to numerous other social dilemma games, such as rock-paper-scissors, Battle of the Sexes, or Stag Hunt. The mapping to ID Ising model can help understand cooperative behavior in many other social dilemmas as well.
"One future area to explore is that of recent COVID-19 infection dynamics," said Benjamin. "A lot of numerical work has been done to explore COVID-19 infection dynamics using tools of evolutionary game theory. An analytical model, however, is lacking."
The article, "Thermodynamic susceptibility as a measure of cooperative behavior in social dilemmas," is authored by Colin Benjamin and Aditya Dash. The article will appear in Chaos on Sept. 8, 2020 (DOI: 10.1063/5.0015655). After that date, it can be accessed at https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/5.0015655.
Chaos is devoted to increasing the understanding of nonlinear phenomena in all areas of science and engineering and describing their manifestations in a manner comprehensible to researchers from a broad spectrum of disciplines. See https://aip.scitation.org/journal/cha.

The Miss Worcester Diner on Southbridge Street was built in 1948 by the Worcester Lunch Car Company, which was nearby. Recently, it reopened after changing hands and being renovated. It serves good diner food and is busier than this picture suggests. I waited for a lull in the crowd to take this picture. Currently, the diner is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Worth a trip if you are anywhere near Worcester. If you view the large size, you can read the specials menu.

Kitchen renovation is a common theme of home improvement shows, and it's typical for the host and designer to talk about removing interior walls and "bumping out" exterior ones in order to gain more space. Everyone wants a big, beautiful kitchen, but changing the footprint of yours isn't always practical, especially if you lack the budget of a home improvement show!
Everything looks bigger and better in the daylight, but if your kitchen has just one small window over the sink or no windows at all, it can look dark and feel even smaller. Adding windows isn't always possible in a kitchen where you need to reserve wall space for cabinets and appliances. Skylights can be a cost-effective and quick way to bring more natural light into a kitchen - even if it doesn't have direct roof access.
By adding Energy Star-qualified, solar-powered, fresh-air skylights, you can greatly increase the amount of natural light while keeping functional wall space. For times when you want less light, the addition of solar-powered blinds, available in designer colors and patterns, allow you to attractively shade your skylights. Operated with a programmable touchpad remote control, today's skylights also feature a sensor that will automatically close them in case of rain. And there's a 30 percent federal tax credit available to the homeowner on solar powered skylights, blinds and installation costs.
As a cost-effective and easily installed alternative to traditional skylights, Sun Tunnel tubular skylights deliver natural light to spaces that don't have direct roof access. Optional light kits make them functional both day and night. To learn more, visit www.whyskylights.com.
Who doesn't want more cabinet space? Storage is essential in a kitchen, but too many cabinets or too dark cabinetry can make an already small kitchen feel downright miniscule.
If you just can't give up any cabinet space, you can still make your kitchen feel brighter by painting or staining them a lighter hue and using bright, reflective hardware in modern styles. Glass cabinet doors can also visually open up a kitchen - and inspire you to greater organization so that the inside of your cabinets always look guest-ready.
Fortunately, appliance makers offer products in multiple sizes and finishes to fit any space and design preference. Before you appliance shop, be sure to measure the spaces where the new pieces will reside in your kitchen. Further, keep in mind the overall scale of the room, too. If your kitchen is small, a massive refrigerator will overwhelm the space, even if designated cutout for the fridge is big enough to accommodate a large one.
Choosing lighter colors and finishes is the easiest, most cost-effective way to make any space look bigger. If you've already addressed the cabinets, you can further expand the visual feel of the kitchen by painting walls a light color. Replace dark floors and counters with brighter colors and upgrade faucets, cabinet hardware and light fixtures to be brighter and more reflective.
Finally, try adding under-cabinet lighting above work spaces. Not only will task lighting put more illumination where you need it most when working in the kitchen, but when combined with abundant natural light from skylights it will provide an overall effect of a lighter, brighter and bigger space for your Keller home.

Soviet license plates and Kolmogorov complexity
That depends on what class of operators you allow.
You could trivialize the game by applying the fractional part operation {x} to both sides since the fractional part of an integer is zero.
You could disallow the fractional part operator on the grounds that it's not clearly a high school math operation, or just disallow it because it makes the game uninteresting.
Universal solutionIt turns out there's a universal solution, starting with the observation that√(n + 1) = sec arctan √n.
If one side is greater than the other by one, the formula above gives an immediate solution.
For example, a solution for the license plate 89-88 would be√89 = sec arctan 88.
If the difference is greater, the formula can be applied repeatedly.
For example, we could apply the formula twice to obtain√(n + 2) = sec arctan √(n + 1) = sec arctan sec arctan √nand so a possible solution for 35-37 issec arctan sec arctan √35 = √37.
Kolmogorov complexityGiven that a solution is always possible, we can make the game more interesting by looking for the simplest solution.
We have some intuitive idea what this means.
With our example of 44-74, the first solution4!.+ 4 = 7*4is simpler than the universal solution√74 = sec arctan sec arctan … √44.
which would require applying secant and arctangent each 30 times.
The Kolmogorov complexity of an object is the length of the shortest computer program to produce the object.
We could compute the Kolmogorov complexity of the functions applied to the digits on each side in order to measure how complex a solution is.
To make this precise, we need to specify what our programming language is, and that's not as easy as it sounds.
If we think of mathematics notation as a programming language, do we want to count!.as one character and arctan as 6 characters?.That doesn't seem right.
If we wrote "arctan" as "atn" we would use fewer characters without producing a different solution.
Complexity of Python codeTo make things more objective, we could look at the length of actual computer programs rather than imagining math notation to be a programming language.
Say we choose Python.
Then here are a couple functions that compute our two solutions for license plate 44-74.
from math import sqrt, cos, atan def f(): sec = lambda x: 1/cos(x) y = sqrt(44) for _ in range(30): y = sec(atan(y)) return y def g(): return sqrt(77) We could measure the complexity of our functions f and g by counting the number of characters in each one.
But there still are difficulties.
What about the import statement?.It should count toward the length of f because it uses everything imported but g could have used a shorter statement that only imported sqrt.
More fundamentally, are we cheating by even importing a library?Furthermore, the two functions above don't produce exactly the same output due to limited precision.
We could imagine that our imported functions are infinitely precise, but then we're not really using Python but rather an idealized version of Python.
And what about the loop?.That introduced new digits, 3 and 0, and so violates the rules of Landau's game.
So should we unroll the loop before calculating complexity?Thought experimentKolmogorov complexity is a very useful concept, but it's more of a thought experiment than something you can practically compute.
We can imagine the shortest program to compute something, but we can seldom know that we've actually found such a program.
All we can know in practice is upper bounds.
In theory you can enumerate all Turing machines of a given length, or all Python programs of a given length, and find the shortest one that does a given task, but the list grows exponentially with length.
However, it is possible to compute the length of particular programs if we deal with some of the complications mentioned above.
We could make Landau's game a two-player game by seeing who could come up with the simpler solution in a fixed amount of time.
Back to LandauIf we allow sine and degree in our set of operators, there's a universal solution due to B.
Gorobets.
For n ≥ 6, n!.is a multiple of 360, and sosin (n!)° = 0.
And if n is less than 6, it's two-digit representation begins with zero, so we can multiply the digits to get zero.
If we disallow transcendental functions, we block Gorobets' trick and we have functions whose length we can objectively measure in a programming language.

Vengeance Road (Paperback)
By Erin Bowman
When Kate Thompson's father is killed by the notorious Rose Riders for a mysterious journal that reveals the secret location of a gold mine, the eighteen-year-old disguises herself as a boy and takes to the gritty plains looking for answers and justice. What she finds are devious strangers, dust storms, and a pair of brothers who refuse to quit riding in her shadow. But as Kate gets closer to the secrets about her family, she gets closer to the truth about herself and must decide if there's room for love in a heart so full of hate. In the spirit of True Grit, the cutthroat days of the Wild West come to life for a new generation.
Erin Bowman is the critically acclaimed author of numerous books for children and teens, including the Taken Trilogy, Vengeance Road, Retribution Rails, the Edgar Award-nominated Contagion duology, The Girl and the Witch's Garden, and the forthcoming Dustborn. A web designer turned author, Erin has always been invested in telling stories–both visually and with words. Erin lives in New Hampshire with her husband and children.
"Teens sick of books that coddle them will enjoy sinking their teeth into Bowman's latest...the book demands the same stoicism from its readers as the heroine herself possesses." —School Library Journal * "Kate's pursuit of the murderous Rose Riders, intertwined with gold-rush greed driving men to madness, makes for a thoroughly engrossing read." —Publishers Weekly, starred review "[Kate] is a hard-riding, tough-talking young woman who can shoot to kill. The story is hers to tell." —VOYA "Readers will be entranced by Bowman's swiftly paced, romantic revenge drama, and historical fiction fans will relish the period clothing, western dialect, and details of everyday life. With plot twists galore and a nice surprise at the end, it's a page turner." —Booklist "A story of grit, love, and deadly revenge that climbs off the page and into your heart–saddle up for a thrilling, harrowing ride!" —Alexandra Bracken, New York Times best-selling author of The Darkest Minds trilogy "A take-no-prisoners heroine with a bloody debt to settle. I'm still breathing in the dust and hot Arizona sun." —Megan Shepherd, author of The Madman's Daughter "Gritty and honest, Vengeance Road captures the heart of the Wild West." —Mindy McGinnis, author of Not a Drop to Drink "Thrilling. . . . Kate is a heroine to be reckoned with." —Jessica Spotswood, author of The Cahill Witch Chronicles "Relentlessly readable, Vengeance Road is a perfect Western. You won't be able to turn in until you get to the very last page!" —Saundra Mitchell, author of The Springsweet "Flinty and fierce, Kate is a formidable addition to the pantheon of tough young adult heroines. Her story and voice crackles to life." —A.C. Gaughen, author of the Scarlet Trilogy "Gold madness, a good-for-nothing posse, and frontier justice: Vengeance Road is everything you could want in a Western." —Jodi Meadows, New York Times best-selling author with My Lady Jane "This is the kind of book I'll re-read again and again." —Susan Dennard, author of the Something Strange and Deadly series —

Q: Posicionamento da terceira div Tenho 3 divs e a ideia é que as primeiras duas uma ao lado da outra, então usei o float: left:

Mas agora tenho uma terceira div e pretendo que fique por baixo da segunda div, como posso fazer?
Mostro na imagem:

A: Segue um modelo com float como vc queria, o problema é que com float a altura do box da esquerda não fica igual a altura dos boxes da direita, se vc quiser ajustar isso tem que por um valor mão. Além disso, vc precisa fazer um clearfix, para o texto que vem depois do container não encavalar com os box de cima...
Segue um exemplo básico.

A: Ao usar float: left tudo será agrupado à direita dos elementos. Uma forma é inserir uma div com clear: both; após a terceira div, evitando que elementos posteriores sejam agrupados à direita das divs:

Uma observação: não repita id's. Um id deve ser único. No exemplo
  abaixo converto o id repetido employee_table em classe.

Como o @Hugocsl colocou, use calc para definir a largura das divs (descontando as margens). Porém a minha sugestão não necessita de divs container, como ele colocou.
Veja como fica:

.employee_table{
   float: left;
   margin: 5px;
}

.div1{
   width: calc(40% - 10px);
   background: red;
}

.div2, .div3{
   width: calc(60% - 10px);
}

.div2{
   background: blue;
}

.div3{
   background: yellow;
}

.breaker{
   clear: both;
