1Password reports 300 percent growth in B2B revenue over last two years
1Password, a Toronto-based password manager, recently announced its B2B revenue has risen more than 300 percent over the last two years, and that it serves over 47,000 paying businesses worldwide, from SMEs to enterprises.
"I think the growth has really happened because of the current state of cybersecurity. The real answer to data breaches is a password manager."
According to the 2018 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, passwords are the primary cause of data breaches for businesses, accounting for 81 percent of breaches in 2018. As a result, more enterprises are making security best practices a top priority. 1Password, which began targeting its offering to consumers, moved into a B2B play in recent years, and now sees itself as the actionable face of what to do in the case of a data breach.
"There is a clear and growing trend towards data breaches and their associated costs [are] accelerating," said Jeff Shiner, 1Password's CEO. "We launched 1Password Business three years ago to address the need for businesses to improve their data security. We're now seeing everyone from startups to multinational corporations making data security their top priority."
1Password was founded in 2005 by David Teare and Roustem Karimov. Version 0.1 came about as an internal tool to manage and share passwords for in-house tools and client websites. Fourteen years later, it has applications and extensions for Mac, iOS, Windows, Android, Chrome, Opera, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. The startup has a team of over a hundred people located throughout the world.

"We're all around the world, and people work from home, so there's nothing stopping us from scaling faster," 1Password's chief marketing officer, Matt Davey, told BetaKit, adding that 1Password is looking to bring the team headcount to 200 by the end of the year.
Last year, the company released 1Password7, which involved a revamp of the software's appearance and functionality, including features like a new sidebar, dark mode, and 1Password mini, which automatically detects the app or webpage users have open and suggests items.
To help businesses protect themselves, 1Password offers free family accounts to all 1Password Business customers to help make good password habits stick. Employees who use weak or duplicate passwords at home are more likely to continue those habits at work — putting that business at increased risk of a breach.
"Our internal privacy and data management policies go further than any other similar company," said Shiner. "For example, we don't track our users' behaviour within the app, and it's not possible for us to access any passwords stored in 1Password. We don't even use analytics to profile our customers for marketing. This is a fundamentally different approach, counter to current trends of customization at the expense of anonymity, and we hold ourselves to a higher standard in order to give customers the privacy they deserve."

In a Statistics Canada report on business victims of cybercrime, just over one-fifth of more than 10,000 Canadian firms reported that they were impacted by a cybersecurity incident, which affected their operations. A 2018 report from the Canadian Internet Registration Authority
(CIRA) found 40 percent of businesses surveyed experienced a cyberattack in the 12 months prior.
"I think the growth has really happened because of the current state of cybersecurity and these companies protecting the data that people give them," Davey said. "The real answer to data breaches is a password manager."
Davey told BetaKit the company is currently working on a new update that bundles several new business-focused features, including for protecting accounts and also reporting, expected to be released sometime next year.

THE GREAT SOUTH BAY MUSIC FESTIVAL Celebrates It's 13th Year
Long Islands longest running, and largest 4 day, all ages Music & Arts Festival, returns to the picturesque waterfront at Shorefront Park in Patchogue Village from Thursday, July 18 through Sunday, July 21st.
Celebrating its 13th anniversary, the four-day festival, presented by King O'Rourke Autogroup, will feature over 75 performers on five stages, in classic and contemporary rock, folk, punk, blues, indie, jam-band, reggae, and funk genres. The fest boasts multiple craft beer and wine tents, an artisan and craft market, and food court offering a diverse gourmet menu of funky and healthy fare.
Great South Bay Festival will kick off the four days with Long Islands own, Taking Back Sunday, who are celebrating their 20th anniversary as a band on Thursday, July 18. Their performance at the festival will be one of the first of theirs back in the states following a monster tour in Europe. Iconic post hardcore band, and hometown favorites, Glassjaw, plus The Menzingers, and ex My Chemical Romance guitarist Frank Iero & The Future Violents will also perform this day. Ten artists will perform on two stages.
Friday, July 19th brings a genre busting rock-reggae party to the south shore with over 20 performers on 4 stages. Headlining the Main Stage is Slightly Stoopid, described as: "A Spiritual bath of positive party energy. Reggae rock favorites Sublime with Rome returns, with SOJA, and Common Kings supporting.
Saturday at the festival is always "Jam-Day", and this year Great South Bay brings its most eclectic and diverse lineup to date. Fest favorites Lotus headlines the main stage, with Dweezil Zappa supporting and carrying the eclectic Frank Zappa torch. Also appearing on the main Stage are Spafford, Reid Genauer's Assembly of Dust, Pink Talking Fish, and the Englishtown Project.
On the "Jambalaya Stage" Great South Bay will present a 50th anniversary tribute to the '69 Woodstock Festival. Headlining will be Kiss The Sky, featuring Jimy Bleu and Juma Sultan, Hendrix percussionist at the original Woodstock Festival. Also appearing is Who's Next, considered the premier Who tribute, Joplin's Pearl, The The Band Band, and Halfstep, playing the music of the Grateful Dead. Over 25 bands will perform on this day.
Sunday will highlight all things classic rock, and this year it's all about "Legends, and Future Legends". 2019 will be Grammy winners, and perennial rock favorites America's, 49th. anniversary. Original Founding Members: Gerry Beckley, and Dewey Bunnell met in high school, and 40 plus years later are still making music together, and touring the world.
Supporting America is the multi-platinum-selling WAR. True legends with over 50 million records sold, 12 Billboard Top 40 hits, and countless "samples" by artists including: Dave Matthews, Tupac, Flo-Rida, Kendrick Lamar, Korn and more. Main Stage support also includes The Edgar Winter Band and Blue Coupe, a fusion of Blue Oyster Cult founders Joe and Albert Bouchard, and Dennis Dunnaway of Alice Coopers Band. Brandon "Taz" Niederauer, the phenom guitarist who, at just 15 years old, has shared the stage with Gregg Allman, Gary Clark Jr., Tedeschi Trucks Band, Warren Haynes, Lady Gaga, Stevie Nicks, Dweezil Zappa and so many more, is no doubt on the road to being a "Future Legend".
This year, Great South Bay has added an additional stage in an effort to support and nurture original singer–songwriters, and emerging artists. The Busker Stage will showcase 15 up and coming artists.
As always, Great South Bay will also donate $1 from every ticket sold to the GSB-Stony Brook Cancer Center Fund. To date, the fest has raised over a quarter of a million dollars for the cancer center.

Chris Hook, currently employed as Senior Director, Global Product Marketing at AMD, according to his LinkedIn profile, has decided to leave AMD for pastures new. Hook joined ATI back in 2001 and quickly progressed upwards through the company, which was bought up by AMD in 2006. His major roles over those 17 years have all been in marketing and PR positions.
In a Facebook post, now seemingly inaccessible but saved by VideoCardz, Hook wrote a lengthy status update about his career at ATI/AMD and his mixed feelings about moving on. Looking back at the start of his career at ATI, Hook reminisces about there being a company smoking room, transistor sizes being measured in microns, and 320x240 pixel graphics displays being considered 'high res'.
Getting closer to the present day, Hook, says that "The most rewarding experience I had at AMD was reigniting Radeon over the past couple of years with Radeon Technologies Group, growing its market share from high teens to low thirties, and achieving a record revenue quarter late last year." Sharing appreciation for his experience at AMD, Hook added, "It was a ton of work, but I've never had so much fun, visited so many great places, or worked with such amazing people."
From his Facebook sign off it sounds like Hook is already taking a break, before starting a new role at some other company at the end of April. We don't get to hear about what the new position / business is, however Hook promises to share info on his 'new opportunity' in the coming weeks.
So, what will happen at AMD to fill the Chris Hook shaped void? Sasa Marinkovic, the current Director of Software Marketing at AMD, will step into the vacant position. Interestingly, Marinkovic started at ATI back in 1996 as a Senior ASIC product manager before diverting off through various marketing functions from 2005 onwards.
320x240 pixel graphics displays being considered 'high res'.
His linked in page says he was doing PR for mobile for ATI in 2001.
"Chris Hook now working for Intel" is the next article I expect to see!
I wonder what will change now he has left.
if Nvidia had purchased ATI the current price of a GTX 1080 would be? $10,000. ~Titan V @ $30,000.
Someone from marketing has left and the position given to someone else from marketing, yawn…bit of a slow news day on the technology front?


Over two million people in the UK suffer accidents at work every year, according to HSE statistics. A study by the labour force survey showed that this includes around 300,000 injuries which are serious enough to be reported, representing a rate of one serious work accident per 100 workers.
There are about 2.5 million sport or activity related injuries in the UK per year making sports injuries one of the major causes of work absence in Great Britain.
This is a serious problem because not only is it costing companies, sports facilities and sport clubs millions of pounds of compensation in this economic crisis it is leaving certain individuals with life changing injuries. This is one of the reasons why the government has cracked down on health and safety, to prevent and avoid these incidents from occurring and to make workplaces and sports facilities a worry free environment for employees, participants and visitors.
All the acts are in place are all similar to each other because of the main reason being, protecting everyone's safety and well-being including employees, participating players and spectators. These acts and regulations are put in place as a legal necessity to ensure a safety net for every person watching, working within or playing the sport. The Hillsborough disaster had a big impact and these acts are in place to ensure this doesn't happen again.
All the acts, the national governing bodies, the school policy, the HSE and the laws are all similar in the fact that they have a form of relation between the government and how they are run. Within the sports side of things the national governing bodies are different because they usually only take into account their own sport, for example the FA will not concern about sports governed by other bodies, this is similar to the school policies because from each sport there are different laws and rules and with the school policies as the rules are different from school to school it would make sense the school governing body would take control of the school policy rather than the government. The HSE is run and maintained by the government alone, making sure all the rules and laws are modern and up to date.
A negative impact of extreme health and safety acts is that it can restrict how much a school or a community can do outside the facility due to all the paperwork and permission that is required to go ahead. The members of staff have to spend hours filling in the paperwork while having the large risk of accidents which could lead to the staff being sued by the parents or guardians of the children.
A positive impact of the extremely health and safety acts is that it means that all external groups visiting the facility can feel more reassured that they are being looked after. All the paperwork and permission is there to make sure that everything is covered from one extreme to another.
In conclusion although the extreme health and safety acts can put a limit on how much an organisation/school can do, it will provide extra security and care of everyone's well-being.

Exercising Denver: Twerk It Like Miley at Tease Studio
Lauren Archuletta January 11, 2016 6:48AM
"We're going to do 'Twerkies' tonight. You know, like a burpie but with that booty."
It's Wednesday night, and a group of girls are spread around a dark dance studio, each peering somewhat uncertainly at the poles that hang from the ceiling. Upon hearing that the evening's warm-up will involve jumping in the air and then bouncing their butts up and down while in plank position, this uncertainty quickly dissolves into a look that clearly says, "Oh shit."
Welcome to Twerkshop.
There are about a million thoughts that race through your mind after you sign up for a twerking class at Denver's Tease Studio. Questions like: Should I wear workout clothes or should I look like I stepped out of Beyoncé's 7/11 video? Should I know how to twerk before I get there?
Still, if you've ever taken a dance class, you think you have a general idea of how this will go. Yes, there will be a teacher demonstrating predetermined choreography in front of a full-length mirror and, yes, there might be opportunities for group work. But be warned: Twerkshop is not a Zumba class. As adults, we're terrified of making fools of ourselves in front of strangers. When we sign up for a fitness class, we tell ourselves that we're just focused on working out — and then try our hardest to not look at the person on the yoga mat next to us. Twerkshop throws all that bullshit out the window.
Twerkshop instructor Marquette Carrington guides the group through a grueling cardio set, all the while yelling out "Twerkology" terms. (Fun fact: a Salt-n-Pepper is when you spread your legs, bend over at the waist and somehow do the running man without moving — actually picking up your feet, but just making your booty shake.)
There's something that happens, though, when you're in a room full of strangers, all shining with a well-earned sweat, and the Ying Yang Twins' "Wait (The Whisper Song)" comes on. You suddenly find yourself strutting across the floor, three by three, and dropping it low for the last four counts.
By the time the Justin Bieber choreography is pulled out, everyone has gained a level of confidence that didn't seem possible thirty minutes earlier. It's likely that nobody in that room is a trained dancer, but that doesn't matter: Everyone is looking in the mirror at something sexy staring back at them.
Carrington shows everyone how to isolate their lower backs and "rock the boat," and she even throws in some cheerleader arm movements so that we can briefly imagine that we are performing in front of a crowd. (Every student will definitely use those choreographed arms each time Bieber sings, "I just need one more shot at forgiveness.")
All in all, we only learn 49 seconds of "Sorry." Nobody is twerking in a wall handstand by the end of the hour-long class, but everyone gains a few new dance moves and a confidence boost.
Carrington says that this first class was intended to be slow-moving, a way to prepare to "get real nasty" next week. Our homework? Go home, place a cup on our lower back ,and flip it using just our butts. Look out for that party trick at the Broncos playoffs tailgate!
In the meantime, if you're Interested in rocking the boat, check out this Spotify playlist designed just for twerking.
Marquette Carrington teaches Twerkshop at 5 p.m. Mondays and 9 p.m. Wednesdays at Tease Studio, 1070 Bannock Street. Visit teasestudio.net for more information.

How student-athletes can successfully balance sport and school
By kuluri19/11/2021November 22nd, 2021No Comments
Home » How student-athletes can successfully balance sport and school
The Mediterranean College of Sports speaks to university lecturer and sport psychology expert Dr. Adele Muscat about how a dual career path in specialised sports schools can help student-athletes.
For talented young athletes, specialised sports schools provide a unique opportunity to follow a dual career path, carefully balancing education and athletic training to ensure that student-athletes earn the qualifications they need to take the next step academically while also getting enough opportunities to continue their sporting careers or education in Malta or abroad.
While the concept may still seem novel to many, the number of student-athletes has exploded in recent years. National youth teams are now full of athletes following dual career paths, and more and more young people are moving abroad to continue their sporting education in countries like the UK, USA and Italy.
Dr. Adele Muscat, a sport psychology expert and lecturer at the Institute for Physical Education and Sport, firmly believes dual career paths offer the best opportunity for student-athletes to thrive.
"Young athletes need the right support," Muscat says, "and a specialised sport school allows for that by training academic staff to understand the challenges that children in sport may face, having coaches who can speak to teachers on an everyday basis and providing other support staff like physiotherapists, psychologists and guidance counsellers. This level of support may not be present in a normal school where the main focus is on academics."
Support and mentorship
Student-athletes benefit from mentorship on all levels, whether it's guidance on their future career in Malta or abroad and support when issues in their sport and life arise. Feedback from coaches on their training and from academic staff on keeping up with their schoolwork, as well as physiotherapy and strength and conditioning support to ensure they're dealing with injuries efficiently and developing physically in the best way possible to prevent future injuries may also be present.
"Mentoring is important because the athletes and their parents do not know everything about their sport; different professionals need to have their say in helping the child athlete develop in the best possible way," Muscat says.
This additional support is crucial because student-athletes inevitably face a range of additional challenges compared to other students. In addition to finding time for homework, study and getting adequate rest, they have to cope with hours of intensive training, regular travel for competition and catching up on any missed schoolwork, as well as finding time for a healthy personal and social life while managing the pressures of their sport.
Burnout, according to Muscat, can be a major risk, especially for particularly talented athletes who may find themselves in high-level competitions before they are mentally ready, as well as in sports such where athletes are encouraged to specialise early. "These days there is a greater focus on mental health," Muscat says. "We're seeing more and more young student-athletes struggling with anxiety and symptoms of depression because they feel overloaded, which is why it's so important to have the right support team within the school that can recognise behaviours that might indicate a child is struggling."
Part of the role of a sports school is also educating parents on how best to support their child in sports. Muscat explains that what parents may think of as support may actually end up putting too much pressure on a child to succeed, where the focus should be on making sure the child is enjoying the sport. "Very often what a child really needs is to feel understood when they have particular challenges," she says.
A question of balance
Within the school set-up, a set programme of career assistance can teach students skills on handling pressure, mindfulness exercises and focusing strategies that they can practice regularly, as well as teaching them how to set goals both in sport and academics and bringing in top athletes to speak about their own challenges and how they overcame them. The specialised nature of the school allows students to learn skills specific to their experiences, be it nutrition and injury prevention, or how to handle moving into an adult team for the first time or pursuing a sports career abroad.
Muscat says that clear pathways for student-athletes to develop after their secondary education is equally important. While efforts have been made to provide greater support in Sixth Forms – such as flexible timetables to incorporate athletes' training regimes – she says more needs to be done in this regard as it is at this stage that student-athletes start to grasp whether a career in sport may be possible. She also wonders whether the Maltese curriculum may be too intense for student-athletes, noting that a number of students have found success through alternative systems such as the International Baccalaureate.
Ultimately, Muscat says, the question is one of balance. "I believe continued education is crucial because it's not ideal for an athlete to derive their identity purely from sport: it's important for an athlete to know that, even if they do manage a professional career, they can still enter university or a different line of work if it doesn't progress as they want it to. With the right support, students can get the qualifications they need as well as the training and competition opportunities to move forward in their sport."
Dr Adele Muscat is a lecturer within the Institute for Physical Education and Sport with her area of expertise being that of sport psychology. Her PhD thesis and subsequent research has focused on athlete transitions, in particular, the challenges experienced by footballers when they migrate to play professional football overseas. Adele has a Bachelor's in Psychology degree from the University of Malta, a Masters' degree in Sport and Exercise Psychology from the Manchester Metropolitan University and a Doctor of Philosophy from Liverpool John Moores University.
The Mediterranean College of Sport is set to be one of the most pioneering educational and sporting facilities in the Maltese islands, aiming to develop future athletes of international calibre. The co-educational college is set to open its doors to students in September 2023 and will be housed adjacent to St Aloysius College in Birkirkara.

A Three Week Course on How to avoid Hyper- extension in Yoga.
Hyperextension is the movement or extension of joints, tendons, or muscles beyond the normal limit or range of motion. Unlike hyper-mobility, hyperextension is the stretching of a body part beyond what is normal.
The most common joints affected are the one with the most mobility which are the knees and elbows and in some people the lower back / lumbar region. When you hyperextend in yoga (also known as 'locking the joint') you use fewer muscles, so it is easier to hold poses for longer.
However hyperextending while a joint is supporting your body weight is dangerous for the joint. Overtime a hyperextended elbow or knee can damage ligaments, cartilage and other stabilising structures in and around the joint.
When you hyperextend, the work of holding you up is all being done by your elbow joint, or knees. Unlocking these joints will help to bring the body into proper, optimal alignment. Also by strengthening the muscles that support your joints they will be able to work in ways that are impossible when you push into hyperextension.
As someone who has hyper extended arms and legs and lumbar lordosis in the lower back I have had to do a lot of work over the years to avoid injury in my daily yoga practice. I am very happy to offer this course to focus on this very common problem. With only 7 places available you will receive a lot of personal attention.
This course will help prevent injury and pain, bringing greater ease, comfort and perhaps surprisingly, more mobility in to your yoga practice. A absolute must for those who tend to lock into their joints!
This quote from BKS Iyengar who was the founder of Iyengar Yoga and considered one of the foremost yoga teachers in the world perfectly encapsulates the effects the practice can have on body and soul. He has written many books on yoga practice and philosophy including "Light on Yoga", "Light on Pranayama", and "Light on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali".
As yoga's popularity has accelerated and continues to splinter into ever increasing variations on a theme – yoga for cyclists, yoga for runners. yogalates, what keeps people coming back to this ancient practice is the physical and mental well-being that yoga provides. But if yoga is a science and an art why do more and more people insist on treating it like a religion?
Putting aside the debate on whether yoga is a religion – its origins in India and roots in Hindu texts like the Katha Upanishad and The Bhagavad-Gita are evidence enough for even moderate religious groups to label it as one the practice of yoga in the west as I experience it as a full time yoga teacher and student has increasingly more in common with religious dogma than the freedom of expression associated with artists and the ability to self examine and the resilience needed to be a scientist.
How people choose to pursue their yoga practice is dictated by many factors not all of which we are able to control. How often we are able to practice in a class environment will change as our roles in life do – as a teacher my role has developed into providing a safe environment for students to explore the physical postures and there ability to influence, integrate and harmonize all the levels of being – physical, mental emotional and spiritual, and ultimately to empower students with the tools to sustain a healthy body and mind over the course of a lifespan.
The culture of gossip and judgment of other's lifestyle choices such as diet, choice of clothes to practice in, what mat to practice on, what music to practice to and beyond have more in common with petty regulations imposed by systems with a need to control others in order to feel more in control of themselves than they do with the with the qualities of acceptance and non-judgment implicit in the practice of yoga.
Going back to the quote above – 'yoga means union — the union of body with consciousness and consciousness with the soul' if we are to pursue this goal surely it is better to do so with an open and curious mind. Consider for a moment how artists and scientists pursue their work. While these disciplines might seem like polar opposites, one is fact and evidence-driven, the other driven by emotion the similarities between how artists and scientists work far outweigh the differences. Both are dedicated to pursuing the big questions in life What is truth? Why does it matter? How can we move forward? Both search deeply and often doggedly for these answers. Surely the yogi should do the same.
Couldn't this also apply to the practice of yoga?
Yoga by its very nature can encourage narcissism in the individual. We are constantly told to look inward, to observe physical sensations in the body, to observe any thought that comes uninvited to the mind and then to detach from them. to just observe and then let them go; but sometimes all this inward navel gazing rather than serving to crush the ego has the exact opposite effect, we become obsessed with every single twinge of sensation in the body, every single thought we have sometimes to the point where interaction with others becomes strained and sometimes even breaks down completely. Relationships are neglected or even avoided altogether as we become more and more obsessed with our own practice.
Artists and scientists are both trained in the ability to self-critique – they spend the majority of their time alone with their work and need to be able to be both resilient and fail – often in public. If we can train ourselves to approach our yoga practice with this same mindset – the inner critical voice we are always being told to silence can become a valuable asset rather than a stick to beat ourselves with. It is worth noting that before internet message boards and comments sections gave everyone a dissenting voice critical thinking was in and of itself considered an art form.
Artists come in many different guises. Yoga is sometimes compared to dance and gymnastics because the physical shapes the body makes in asana are similar to this art and athleticism. Both dancers and gymnasts push boundaries and physical limitations of what the body can achieve but the ultimate goal is different. Gymnastics is a competitive sport in which the athletes strive for technical perfection to achieve the highest score possible from a panel of judges. Dancers on the other hand work endlessly to hone their technique so that they can then transcend it to achieve artistry and convey emotion. One is an art form and the other is pure athleticism.
Maria Kowroski a Principal Dancer with the New York City Ballet when she talks about performing says: "When you're really in the moment, you just feel all of the blood rushing, my arms, my legs, I can just feel something so pure and raw and you're just.. living" This is what we strive for in Yoga – the ability to be perfectly in the present moment.
Another side effect of the explosion of yoga's popularity especially across social media platforms is the constant rehashing of spiritual quotes from the same sources. While these can be a useful and concise way to express an idea in a class situation after a certain amount of time they can begin to sound trite and even meaningless. One of the things I have heard in interviews over and over with writers, artists and dancers I admire that continues to resonate with me is that you don't become a better artist by just staying in your field. Equally if we can widen our source of reading material there is a wealth of inspiration from writers outside the realm of the spiritual texts that deal with the same human condition and questions but with a broader and more questioning outlook.

VANDERBURGH COUNTY COUNCIL APPROVES FUNDING FOR SOLDIERS & SAILORS MEMORIAL COLISEUM STUDY
Evansville, IN – November 10, 2021 – As part of an ongoing effort to restore and revitalize the Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Coliseum, the Vanderburgh County Council yesterday approved $30,000 towards the creation of a formal facility assessment and development opportunities study. The Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Coliseum, often referred to as the Veterans Coliseum, was completed in 1917 and designed to serve as a civic structure and memorial to the local veterans of all wars. Since 1971, the County-owned venue has been leased and managed by the Veteran's Council of Vanderburgh County. In 1979, the Coliseum was accepted into the National Register of Historic Places.
In April of 2021, a diverse committee of community leaders was formed to study the current lease agreement, assess the condition of the building, and propose future uses for its operation. Additionally, local arts organizations, tourism leaders, and outside event promoters have been engaged to outline opportunities for driving additional revenue and leisure travelers to the community through activities at the Coliseum.
"As a venue, the Coliseum's size and flexible space are unique to the Evansville market. The renovation and revitalization of this storied building would directly respond to and support initiatives like Talent 2025 and Visit Evansville's Master Tourism Plan, by creating an anchor in the NoCo District of Downtown and attracting a new brand of resident and arts and entertainment seekers. But, at the end of the day, it is critical we preserve and protect the interests of the Veterans Council, and ensure the historical and military character of the facility remains intact, which is why a formal architectural study is necessary at this point to move forward," said Commissioner Cheryl Musgrave.
"We are thrilled the County is taking this next step," said Alexis Berggren, Old National Events Plaza General Manager. "The Coliseum is a tremendous community asset that, if appropriately restored, could enrich the ways we sell and market our destination. Whether an ancillary event space for the largest conventions or a venue for smaller, more intimate entertainment performances, a revitalized Coliseum will bring something 'new' to the city that meeting planners, arts organizations, and promoters will be very excited about."
With funding approved, the selection of an architectural firm and related work can begin immediately. The public will be invited to view and comment on concepts and renderings as they are completed and made available. Follow the Vanderburgh County Commissioners page for future updates.

Q: Regular Expression form {m,n} does not use upper limit My understanding was that the regexp form a{m,n} would match a at most n times. However, the following snippet does not work as I would expect (this is javascript):
/\{{2,2}/.exec ('df{{{df')
// [ '{{', index: 2, input: 'df{{{df' ]

Shouldn't it return null?

A: It is matching the text because there are two.  That satisfies the requirements your regex specifies.  If you want to prevent extras from matching use a negative lookahead: (?!\{).
(?:^|[^{])(\{{2,2}(?!\{))

Then, use the first captured group.
Edit, by the way, the the ,2 in {2,2} is optional in this case, since it's the same number.
Edit: Added usage example to get rid of first matched character.  (Javascript doesn't support negative lookbehind.
var myRegexp = /(?:^|[^{])(\{{2,2}(?!\{))/g;
var match = myRegexp.exec(myString);
alert(match[1]);

A: What your expression states is find {{ anywhere in the string, which it will find.  If you want to find only {{ and not {{{ then you need to specify that you want to find:
/[^{]\{{2,2}[^{]/

In English:
[Any Character Not a {] followed by [Exactly 2 {] followed by [Any Character Not a {]
This will match a{{b but not a{b and not a{{{{b

A: It matches because it contains a substring with exactly 2 left braces.  If you want it to fail to match, you have to specify that anything outside the 2 left braces you are looking for can't be a left brace.

A: That regular expression is looking for exactly two left-curly-braces ({{), which it finds in the string "df{{{df" at index 2 (immediately after the first "df").  Looks right to me.

Ohio State Big Ten Michigan State
No. 25 Michigan State gears up for tough October schedule
By NOAH TRISTER - Oct. 01, 2019 04:17 PM EDT

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Forget about waiting until the stretch run in November. Michigan State will find out right now how it measures up against the Big Ten's top teams.
Ohio State, Wisconsin and Penn State — all in a row, the first two on the road. That's the October schedule the 25th-ranked Spartans are facing.
First up is No. 4 Ohio State, which has won its last four games by at least 41 points each, including a 48-7 rout of Nebraska last weekend. Some of Mark Dantonio's greatest wins as Michigan State's coach were against the Buckeyes, but the Spartans have managed only nine points total in their last two meetings with Ohio State.
"I think it's a measuring stick. I'm sure with the win comes more opportunities, and you get ready to play the next one as well. We've got two big ones," Dantonio said. "We've known this. We understand this. Then when you do your summer studies and things of that nature, you understand what you're up against when you come to this part of the season."
Michigan State will at least have an open date between the Wisconsin and Penn State games, but that feels a long way off with the Buckeyes looming. The transition from Urban Meyer to new coach Ryan Day has gone well so far, with Ohio State looking like every bit the juggernaut it usually is.
The Spartans beat Ohio State in 2011, 2013 and 2015 — and those were all pretty special seasons at Michigan State. The Kirk Cousins-led Spartans made the Big Ten title game in 2011, then Michigan State won the conference in 2013, beating Meyer and the Buckeyes for the championship. In 2015, a win at Ohio State vaulted the Spartans to another conference title and a spot in the College Football Playoff.
"Ohio State has been a dominant program in this conference," Dantonio said. "I don't think I'm letting the cat out of the bag here."
This will be the earliest matchup between Michigan State and Ohio State since 2012, when they played in late September. Then the Spartans will have to face what looks like a formidable Wisconsin team. Michigan State has had its ups and downs already, losing at home to Arizona State but starting Big Ten play with wins over Northwestern and Indiana.
The Northwestern game was an impressive blowout on the road. Against Indiana, Michigan State won 40-31, which was a step forward for the team's much-maligned offense.
"You can see each and every week, we want to get out there on Saturday and prove that we can be better," receiver Darrell Stewart said. "And show different things that we can do."
There may be no better opportunity than this weekend for the Spartans to prove their worth, on both sides of the ball.
"It's going to be a challenge as we back it up to Columbus, Ohio, but that's part of it. We understand that," Dantonio said. "Again, if you want to be the best, if you want to say you're one of the best defenses in the country, you'd better play well against a great offense as well. That's part of it."
NOTES: Dantonio talked a bit about RB Connor Heyward's decision to enter the transfer portal. "I think this is a sign of the times a little bit. I'm always going to take the position that, hey, whatever you think is best for you — if you don't think it's best to be here, then it probably isn't because you're not all in," Dantonio said. "We've got competition at running back. I don't think there's any question about that, that there's been competition there. I think at this point in time we have a No. 1 running back." Redshirt freshman Elijah Collins has been receiving the bulk of the carries.

Did you hear the news? "Eggo Waffles now have colors and flavors from natural sources!" My kids grew up loving all of the fun Eggo Waffle varieties like the Kellogg's® Eggo® Blueberry, Strawberry, and Chocolatey Chip Waffles, but I stopped buying them because of the ingredients. Now that Kellogg's has improved their recipe I'm ready to add them back to our menu starting with a dessert using Eggo® Cinnamon Toast.
The single slice of Eggo Cinnamon Toast is the perfect little canvas for a twist on smore's. This soft, crunchy, cinnamony Eggo topped with graham cracker crumbs, chocolate and marshmallow will have your kids drooling.
1. Heat a small pan on medium heat. Place one Eggo® Cinnamon Toast waffle in the pan and top with 15-20 marshmallows and milk chocolate chips. Sprinkle on a teaspoon full of graham cracker crumbs. Top with another Eggo® Cinnamon Toast waffle and heat until brown on both sides flipping halfway through the cooking process.
Allow the waffle to cool a few seconds before cutting into mini waffles.
The bite-sized smore' waffle sandwiches are so yum! I made some for the kids after school, then we made a few more for dessert. This sweet and gooey dessert is so quick and easy to make and gives you a different way of using frozen waffles. There are a bunch of Eggo waffle flavors you could make this with and don't worry, the entire Eggo product line at Walmart uses colors and flavors from natural sources.
Look for the new Eggo® packaging on the freezer aisle at Walmart and pair your purchase with this ibotta offer. Earn $2 when you purchase ONE Eggo® Breakfast Sandwich, Bacon or Sausage varieties only, 8 ct. box only at Walmart here.
This looks like an yummy evening snack recipe.definitely going to try this one.
Absolutely love this…would be great for camping or just a Sunday afternoon treat!
Welp there goes my diet hahhaa those are so perfect . You know what this would make a perfect eggo waffle too hmmm i thi k you are onto something .
I love your creativity! These look so delicious. S'mores are one of my favorite sweet treats and this is a lot cleaner than trying to attempt the graham cracker sandwich!
These look really good. We have a snow day today. Might be the time to try them.
Ok, first things first! Food looks delish but your nail polish is to die for! What brand is it?
It's Sally Hansen's "Gilty Party"
wow these are little cute waffles! Perfect for snacks 🙂 Yummylicious!
Nope! This is a super easy recipe.
Love this! Waffles are one of my favorite breakfast foods, so I'm totally pinning this to hopefully get to one day! I never would have been creative enough to think of this myself.
I only ate one since I work out I didn't want to kill my results.
What an awesome idea! I never would have thought of this!
Wow, when I read mini-Smore, I knew that I'd love this post. Then, I saw that photos and loved it even more! Great job!
Oh my, this looks really good. I've only ever had the plain waffles but, this I've got to try. Thanks for the recipe.
Oh man that looks good!! I can't recall the last time I had mini Eggo! I thinks years and years, when I lived in Florida. I miss them. I haven't seen any at my local grocery store.
The new packaging with not artificial color/flavors are rolling out this month.
Yummy indeed! I will have to make this too. I will be babysitting my grandchildren this weekend and this would be a delicious treat for them after their playtime.
These would be great for an after school snack bar! My son always has friends coming home with him and this is something the tweens could easily make on their own!
Now that looks delicious! Love the idea of making it into a smoke!
These look delicious and I bet kids especially love them. I love the little mini waffle size, too.
I love the size too. I can eat one or two and not throw my whole workout week away with all of this sweetness.
This looks so yummy. I never would have thought to use waffles when making Smore's, this is a fantastic idea.
I thought it would be a good way to switch things up and instead of a crunchy cookie a soft crunchy sweet waffle.
Well obviously I have to try these ASAP! How fun and cute! Perfect for Spring and sumemr!
So true! They'd be perfect to melt the marshmallows over a campfire and use the Eggo waffles.

An earthquake hit Florida on Thursday. How often does that happen?
There were no injuries or damage reported from the quake Thursday, though a lot of people reported feeling it.
In the midst of a historically active hurricane season, Florida was thrown another curveball from Mother Nature on Thursday: A magnitude 4 earthquake on the state's border.
While there was no reported damage or injuries, according to the Escambia County Sheriff's Office, hundreds reported feeling the quake. It occurred more than 6 miles beneath the surface, according to the Geological Survey, and was the first of the year in the state.
Earthquakes in Florida are mostly limited to the Panhandle, according to Don Blakeman, a geophysicist with the Geological Survey.
They are rare in the Sunshine State. In fact, the official Twitter account for the Geological Survey wrote: "Speaking of earthquakes in enigmatic places, now there's something you don't see every day: an earthquake in (or very close to) Florida!"
Speaking of earthquakes in enigmatic places, now there's something you don't see every day: an earthquake in (or very close to) Florida!https://t.co/UhFZcdqCDt
— USGS Earthquakes (@USGS_Quakes) September 3, 2020
Last year, however, Florida was at the center of an even larger earthquake anomaly. From March 6 to April 12, 2019, there were nine earthquakes that rattled the northern part of the state — perplexing experts. None of those quakes was as powerful as Thursday's, however.
"They ranged from 1.9 to 3.1," Blakeman said. "They were considerably smaller than the one today."
Florida doesn't see many earthquakes because the state is not on a tectonic plate boundary, Blakeman said, unlike places like Alaska, Japan or Chile. The movements of plates cause the interior of them to stress, which likely caused Thursday's earthquake.
We have had a few reports of possible seismic activity from Santa Rosa county FL and Escambia county AL.
The USGS now reports that a 4.0 earthquake did occur along the FL/AL line just to the NW of Mount Carmel Florida at 1007 AM. Did you feel it? pic.twitter.com/5xcBUVx5mg
— NWS Mobile (@NWSMobile) September 3, 2020
Most earthquakes in Florida are too small to cause significant damage, Blakeman said. But he also wouldn't be surprised if people who live near Thursday's epicenter had a couple of items fall off shelves. Damage isn't likely to ever extend beyond that in the state, he said.
"No one in Florida should worry about earthquakes," Blakeman said. "Honestly it's just not a seismically active area at all."
In general, the eastern United States isn't very susceptible to powerful earthquakes, though, on rare occasions, quakes have caused damage east of the Mississippi.
In 2011, a 5.8 magnitude earthquake in Virginia cracked the Washington Monument. An earthquake in Charleston, S.C. in 1886 destroyed much of the city, according to the Geological Survey's website.
While it didn't hit Florida directly, a number of Floridians also felt the rumble of a magnitude 7.7 earthquake near Jamaica in January.

The hack is the latest in a series of efforts to encourage people to subscribe to the Swedish YouTuber's channel over the past couple of months. The reason for this being that PewDiePie could be about to lose his top spot on YouTube after having the most number of subscribers on the video platform for years. His closest rival is Indian music label and movie studio T-Series, which has been steadily gaining on PewDiePie's lead, and is currently only thousands of subscribers behind.
In response to this, PewDiePie supporters have been making videos to tell people to subscribe to his channel and otherwise spreading the message online to help maintain his number one spot. The most outlandish stunt so far was performed by YouTuber MrBeast who launched an advertising campaign in favour of PewDiePie across Greenville, North Carolina – it included billboards, TV adverts, radio appearances, and wrapping a truck.
Now, as spotted by Metro News, the PewDiePie campaigners have taken to hacking GTA V to spread their message. Twitter user Z3RVO shared a photo of the in-game message put into the game by the mystery GTA V hacker.
Other GTA V players soon responded to Z3RVO's tweet showing that they had also received the in-game message to subscribe to PewDiePie.
At the time of writing, PewDiePie still has the most YouTube subscribers, with the number now totalling over 74 million. T-Series, on the other hand, is yet to break the 74 million subscriber mark but is less than 200,000 away.

HERKIMER, N.Y. – The newly combined Fort Plain/Oppenheim-Ephratah-St. Johnsville softball squad walked off with a 4-3 win in its first game Saturday at the Emma Durrant Memorial Tournament, part of the NYSSCOGS Softball Festival at the Mudville field complex.
Each team had a lead early in the game. Tully struck first and took a 2-0 lead in the top of the second inning and Fort Plain/Oppenheim-Ephratah-St. Johnsville came back with one run in the bottom of the inning before taking a 3-2 lead in the third. Tully tied the game in the sixth and the game went to extra innings after Michaela Stockwell was retired for the first time.
Stockwell worked her way through the top of the eighth, striking out the first Tully batter while Emma Bielecki, the runner starting the inning at second base, stole third. The next batter walked and took second on a wild pitch. Stockwell snared a soft line drive from a check swing by the next batter and ended the inning with another strikeout.
Stockwell, who had singled, doubled and walked earlier in the game, put on a helmet and took her place at second base to start the bottom of the eighth. She held up when Jenna Reese grounded to shortstop and took third base on the throw to first. Bella Page then grounded to second base, sending Stockwell home with the winning run.
In their second game, the Hilltoppers were beaten 9-0 by Waverly from Section IV. Wendi Hammond pitched a five-inning, one-hit shutout and homered for the Wolverines, and Riley Hall homered twice. Leadoff hitter Fontana LaCoppola had the lone hit for Fort Plain/Oppenheim-Ephratah-St. Johnsville, a ground-rule double on a third-inning fly ball into a towering pile of snow holding out in front of the eight-food fence in left-center field.
Waverly (4-1) was beaten 2-1 in eight innings by Shaker in its first game. The Wolverines' first two batters reached base to start the Fort Plain/Oppenheim-Ephratah-St. Johnsville game and Hall, the third, gave them a quick lead with her first home run. Hall's second home run was a line drive down the left field line her second time up. Hammond led off the fifth inning with her second home run of the day; her first had given Waverly its only run against Shaker.
Holland Patent, Sandy Creek and Lancaster-St. Mary's all went 2-0 in the day's later games.
The Hilltoppers (1-1) open Western Athletic Conference play at home in Fort Plain Monday against Middleburgh. They will be back at Mudville Tuesday for a nine-league game against Dolgeville.

Q: Trying to get a loop to stop once a certain value is reached, but it always carries on 1 step too many As the title suggests. Looking at the block of code:
m = 100
a = -9.8
y0 = 30000
t0 = 0
v0 = 0
dt = 0.01

yAF = np.array([])
yAF = np.append(yAF, y0)

tAF = np.array([])
tAF = np.append(tAF, t0)

speedAF = np.array([])
speedAF = np.append(speedAF, v0)

def dy_dt(t):
    return a * t

i = 0

while yAF[i] >= 0:
    i = i + 1
    tAF = np.append(tAF, tAF[i-1] + dt)
    speedAF = np.append(speedAF, dy_dt(tAF[i-1]))
    yAF = np.append(yAF, yAF[i-1] + dt * dy_dt(tAF[i-1]))

As you can see, the condition I am trying to achieve is that when the value yAF[i] goes below zero, I dont want to add it to the array and I want the loop to end.
The code currently still adds the first value less than 0 onto the array before stopping. Is there any way to fix this error?

A: You have inverted the order of checking and appending. You should first check and only then append:
yAF, yAF, speedAF = [], [], []
yAF_next, tAF_next, speedFA_next = y0, t0, v0

while yAF_next >= 0:
    yAF.append(yAF_next)
    tAF.append(t0_next)
    speedAF.append(speedFA_next)

    tAF_next = tAF[-1] + dt
    speedAF_next = dy_dt(tAF[-1])
    yAF_next = yAF[-1] + dt * dy_dt(tAF[-1])

Interestingly, you do not even need the i variable. And yes, work with lists, later convert them to arrays.

A: Just change the while condition to > 0 instead of >= 0 to save yourself one loop.
Also, just looking at this code this would give an infinite loop because you're incrementing i but exiting when i is less than 0.

Being An Only Child Does Not Hurt Social Skills – Communication Studies
Being An Only Child Does Not Hurt Social Skills
September 24, 2010 coms Interpersonal/Small Group Communication 0
Growing up without siblings doesn't seem to be a disadvantage for teenagers when it comes to social skills, new research suggests.
A study of more than 13,000 middle and high school students across the country found that "only children" were selected as friends by their schoolmates just as often as were peers who grew up with brothers and sisters.
"I don't think anyone has to be concerned that if you don't have siblings, you won't learn the social skills you need to get along with other students in high school," said Donna Bobbitt-Zeher, co-author of the study and assistant professor of sociology at Ohio State University's Marion campus.
Bobbitt-Zeher conducted the study with Douglas Downey, professor of sociology at Ohio State. They presented their research Aug. 16 in Atlanta at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association.
The concern that a lack of siblings might hurt children's social skills has become more significant in recent years, Bobbitt-Zeher said.
"As family sizes get smaller in industrialized countries, there is concern about what it might mean for society as more children grow up without brothers and sisters," she said.
"The fear is that they may be losing something by not learning social skills through interacting with siblings."
In fact, a 2004 study by this study's co-author, Douglas Downey, did find that children without siblings showed poorer social skills in kindergarten compared with those who had at least one sibling.
This new study was designed to see if that advantage to having siblings persists as children become adolescents.
Data from the study came from the National Study of Adolescent Health (ADD Health), which interviewed students in grades 7 through 12 at more than 100 schools nationwide during the 1994-95 academic year.
ADD Health used an innovative way to examine friendship among these students: each student was given a roster of all students at their school, and was asked to identify up to five male and five female friends.
"This allows us to consider how popular a student is by counting how many times peers identified him or her as a friend," Bobbitt-Zeher said.
Overall, students in the study were nominated by an average of five other schoolmates as a friend. There were no significant differences in that number between those who had siblings, and those who had none.
The researchers examined a wide variety of situations and still found no difference. The number of siblings a teen had didn't matter, and it didn't matter if those siblings were brothers, sisters or some combination, or if they were stepsiblings, half-siblings or adopted siblings.
"In every combination we tested, siblings had no impact on how popular a student was among peers," she said.
There is also a concern that parents who have large families are somehow different than other parents, and this may influence how popular their children are. So the researchers took into account a wide variety of other factors, including socioeconomic status, parents' age, race, and whether a teen lives with both biological parents or not. None of these factors changed the relationship between number of siblings and social skills.
Why did this study find no effect of siblings on social skills, while Downey's earlier study of kindergarteners did?
Bobbitt-Zeher noted that the two studies had different methods for estimating social skills, which may have played a role. The earlier study of kindergarteners was based on teacher ratings of social skills, while the teen study used friendship nominations by peers.
But more importantly, Bobbitt-Zeher said she believes that children learn a lot about getting along with others between kindergarten and high school.
"Kids interact in school, they're participating in extracurricular activities, and they're socializing in and out of school," she said.
"Anyone who didn't have that peer interaction at home with siblings gets a lot of opportunities to develop social skills as they go through school."

'Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse' Is Next Year's Most Likely Breakout Sequel
Scott Mendelson
I cover the film industry.
In a debut that makes sense as this weekend is Brazil's Comic-Con, even as next weekend marks the three-year anniversary of its predecessor, Sony just dropped an announcement teaser for surefire breakout sequel Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse part One. Apparent "two-part sequel" thoughts aside (hey, if they like 1 of 2, they'll show up for 2 of 2), I am amused by the simplicity of the sequel title as well as the apparent Beatles in-joke.
To my relief, the 150-second teaser is almost entirely about the established human relationship (and budding romance) between Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy. Beyond just the film not opening until October of next year, so the film isn't anywhere close to finished, this is a sign that Sony and friends understood why Into the Spider-Verse was so damn beloved in late 2018.
The critically-acclaimed animated adventure, which went on to win Best Animated Feature over the $1.24 billion-grossing Incredibles 2 (also pretty great, natch), was both a multi-verse fantasy and a terrific character-specific coming-of-age story. I am amused by indications Marvel and Sony's Spider-Man: No Way Home seems to be piggybacking on the relative success ("mere" $376.7 million global gross on a $90 million budget notwithstanding) of the disconnected animated offshoot, selling the Far from Home sequel as its own kind of "Spider-Man characters from different worlds unite" action sequel.
One big reason it became the leggiest comic book superhero movie ($191.4 million from a $35.5 million debut) since Batman ($251 million/$43 million) in summer 1989 was because audiences gravitated to its top-billed hero. It was, first and foremost, a Miles Morales origin story. Across the Spider-Verse (part One) is next year's most likely breakout sequel.
Into the Spider-Verse had rave reviews, a strong but not-quite-best-possible domestic and worldwide total, white-hot word-of-mouth, incredible legs and years of post-theatrical discovery. And unlike a lot of recent animated franchise sequels, this one A) is focused on a true marquee character and B) isn't going to deal with folks just being curious the first time (since everyone who casually checked it out loved it) or the film just playing to kids the next time out (again, everyone loved it).
Shameik Moore and Hailee Steinfeld in 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse'
When you have a much-loved "part one" that was clearly successful without breaking records (think Austin Powers, Scream, The Bourne Identity, John Wick and Pitch Perfect), the second chapter is the one which cashes in on the goodwill of that sleeper hit.
Granted, I presume the Joaquim Dos Santos/Kemp Powers/Justin K. Thompson-directed flick, with a screenplay courtesy of Phil Lord, Chris Miller and David Callaham, will be budgeted at a level which doesn't require a blow-out performance. We could see something akin to Scream 2, which opened 5.5 times larger than its predecessor ($33 million versus $6 million) but then ended up with a near identical $101 million domestic gross.
It'll open October 7, 2022, in the key "first biggie of October" slot home to Gravity, The Martian, Venom and Joker. It'll have a month before The Flash in early November, with (thus far) only Halloween Ends ("Correction… evil dies tomorrow!") qualifying as tentpole competition. This is just an announcement teaser, and it'll probably be the last trailer we see until mid-summer, but this is exactly the kind of genuinely anticipated sequel that deserves a long-lead teaser.
With Shameik Moore and Hailee Steinfeld reprising, and Oscar Isaac joining up as Spider-Man 2099, this could easily see this one pulling an upswing on par with Planet of the Apes (from $481 million for Rise of the Planet of the Apes to $710 million for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) or even Captain America (from $376 million for The First Avenger to $714 million for The Winter Soldier).
That's obviously not the bar for success, but you're going to have plenty of folks young and old who saw Into the Spider-Verse well after opening weekend (and/or after theaters) and fell in love with it. They will almost surely show up with bells on coming opening weekend for Across the Spider-Verse part One.

All the Presidents' Bankers: The Hidden Alliances That Drive American Power
By Nomi Prins
Read by Marguerite Gavin
Nomi Prins Tantor Audio
Culled from original presidential archival documents, All the Presidents' Bankers delivers an explosive account of the hundred-year interdependence between the White House and Wall Street that transcends a simple analysis of money driving politics—or greed driving bankers. Nomi Prins ushers us into the intimate world of exclusive clubs, vacation spots, and Ivy League universities that binds presidents and financiers. She unravels the multi-generational blood, intermarriage, and protégé relationships that have confined national influence to a privileged cluster of people. This unprecedented history of American power illuminates how financiers have retained their authoritative position through history, swaying presidents regardless of party affiliation. It explores the alarming global repercussions of a system lacking barriers between public office and private power. Prins leaves us with an ominous choice: either we break the alliances of the power elite, or they will break us.
Prins divides her justifiably long text into digestible one- to three-page segments and seamlessly incorporates dozens of prominent banker profiles. Her work is highly recommended both to general readers and to students of financial history. —Library Journal Starred Review
"A seminal history…Her book is a stunning contribution to the history of the American Establishment." —Kai Bird, Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer
"A must read, a gripping, historical story on the first corporate staters—the handful of powerful bankers and their decisive influence over the White House…Raw truth." —Ralph Nader, New York Times bestselling author
"A calm, authoritative elucidation of verifiable history." —Financial Times
"Spins an enormous amount of research into a coherent, readable narrative." —Wall Street Journal
"Highly recommended both to general readers and to students of financial history." —Library Journal (starred review)
