The end of the year brought a flurry of activity in Washington including the federal tax overhaul. Overall, the new tax structure does not look favorable for home buyers in California as it imposes lower limits on home mortgage interest and the deductibility of property tax. However, for commercial real estate the opposite appears to be true. The new tax structure contains provisions for "pass through" income and it allows a deduction limit based on the value of structures owned by the corporation. This increases the rate of return on commercial real estate and makes CRE investment more attractive. Moreover, as the tax overhaul makes home ownership relatively less attractive it shifts some demand towards multi-family rental housing.
The year ended with solid economic news as evidenced by two quarters of 3% GDP growth and continued job growth. Going forward the outlook for the economy in 2018 is good.1 Investors who were previously concerned about no new tax bill and the continuation of sluggish economic growth are now, with the prospect of higher rates of return, considering getting back in the game and our survey reflects that. The only fly in the ointment is in brick-and-mortar retail. Though the 2017 holiday season was relatively good for in-store purchases, there is a general recognition that too much retail space is available. Indeed restructuring is expected to continue through 2018.2 The Survey results for the seven largest markets in California reflect these changes.
In the Bay Area, office developer sentiment has been trending down for the last two years, but in December the index turned up to a watershed, a value of 50, between better and worse markets in 2020.
The index first went below 50 for San Francisco two years ago and below 50 for Silicon Valley and the East Bay in June 2016. Today, all three markets are back in the neighborhood of 50. Our panelists are only negative about vacancy rates in San Francisco. Not much has changed in the overall Bay Area economy since the June survey. Economic growth is still occurring, but the very rapid growth earlier in the expansion that abated a year ago continues. Importantly there is a distinct slowdown in the growth of professional and business services, a key driver of demand for office space. Thus one would not anticipate this turnaround in expectations based on past data and those facts point to the tax overhaul.
However, this change in sentiment has not yet induced a change in behavior on the part of the panelists. Just under two-thirds of the panelists were on the sidelines during the last 12 months and a similar percentage state they will be on the sidelines during the next 12 months. Moreover, they have changed their view of the cost of land and the non-labor cost of building from declining relative to today to increasing relative to today. The Bay Area panel is therefore sending a signal that while they think office markets will be similar to today's markets three years hence, that there is not yet enough improvement to jump in and cause significantly different build rates.
Although the indexes for San Diego and Orange County only dropped below 50 in the previous survey, the sentiment jumped dramatically over the past six months. The panel reported that they now view 2020 as decidedly better in both rental rates and vacancy rates than today. This shift in sentiment occurred with no change in subleasing, a slowing in the growth of employment, and a forecast of falling commercial land prices. A larger percentage of the panel, more than two-thirds and the highest since 2014, said they would be on the sidelines in the coming 12 months.
How does one reconcile the seemingly contradictory behavior in these five markets? The answer lies in the recently passed tax overhaul. The new tax code is more favorable for commercial real estate owners and developers and the prospect of higher profits leads to optimism. Nevertheless, the panelists don't think the difference is enough to change the fundamentals in these markets. So we are left with a tax bump and data indicating an increase in building associated with a forecast of no-change to a decrease in building. Nevertheless, the change in sentiment, if it holds, ought to lead to more construction in the future.
Los Angeles continues to buck the trend. There was no fall off in sentiment and there is no tax bump either. The difference between L.A. and the other California cities is Hollywood and Silicon Beach. The entertainment and tech industries continue to grow in the Los Angeles region in response to robust demand for gaming, streamed content, and television programming, and due to critical mass being achieved in Silicon Beach. The L.A. panel did not view the office products in the pipeline as sufficient to meet all of the expected demand two years ago and they are of the same mind today. The obvious conclusion is that rates of return are high enough in L.A. and increasing them with more generous taxation has not changed investment decisions.
Six months ago Bay Area industrial sentiment tanked. In each of the three markets, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and the East Bay sentiment was the most pessimistic it has been since we began the survey in 2009. But negative sentiment in the index does not necessarily correspond to a negative view of the market. With vacancy rates below 2% in 2017 it was is difficult to see how the market could be better in 2020. Thus, the panel last June saw the Bay Area industrial market as being at its zenith.
Except it wasn't. In June, occupancy rates were expected to fall sharply over the next three years, but events in the meantime, including expected higher consumer spending due to the tax overhaul, has led the panelists to now conclude the opposite; that not enough industrial space exists and therefore occupancy rates will hold or even rise and rental rates will increase in step with the lack of available space.
In Southern California there was only a modest fall off in sentiment six months ago and a modest increase in December. In the latest survey, there is an increase in plans to start new projects relative to a year ago, likely caused by imports from Asia that have grown at double-digit rates and a sense that the economy is still growing.
In addition to import logistics, e-commerce will continue to drive a hot market for warehouse space, and though it is not quite as searing hot as before, there still exists robust demand in Southern California. With high occupancy rates and the improvement in market conditions our panelists forecast for the next three years is for higher rental rates and a market that is still somewhat away from an adequate supply of space.
"We may be in brick-and-mortar, but we're not in the business of selling product anymore. We are selling an experience"
And then there is retail. If the tax overhaul was supposed to make investment rates of return higher it did not do near enough for this sector. Indeed, the survey panels in each of the six markets are more pessimistic now than they were before the tax bill passed. Though there have been reports of a good holiday buying season for brick-and-mortar retail establishments this year, the trend to online retail is sufficiently strong that California store closings, including retailers Sears, Kmart, WalMart, Kitson, and Macy's, even in this expanding economy continue apace.
In the Bay Area none of our panel of retail developers started a new retail project last year and only a little over 10% stated they are planning on starting one this year. In Southern California 53% of the panel began new retail projects last year and that has dropped to one-third for the coming 12 months. Clearly there are opportunities but in general retail is overbuilt.
The multi-family market has been tight since early in this economic expansion. Job growth, the precursor to household formation, has remained robust and the new tax plan makes rental housing relatively more attractive. Nevertheless, there was no significant change in multi-family developer expectations for 2020 since last June. In the Bay Area, the expectation of the panel is for the market to remain unchanged from today three years hence and for Southern California it is for improving markets, but not by more than was expected earlier in the year.
But unlike retail, this is a market that is performing well for investors. Permits for new units rose by 12.8% from the previous year. Developers' activity reflects these sentiments. In the Bay Area about two-thirds of all developers have plans to start at least one new project this year with half planning more than one. This is up significantly from plans one year ago.
In Southern California two-thirds of the panelists are also planning new projects with 45% expecting to begin multiple multi-family developments. This represents an improvement of 18 percentage points from a year ago. According to FannieMae3, the very low vacancy rates in Los Angeles should remain for the balance of the decade. Our panelists strongly agree for Los Angeles, and they forecast unchanged vacancy rates for Orange County, and a slight increase in San Diego.
The difference in the two parts of the State can be inferred from the panel's views on land prices. In each of the three Bay Area markets, the average increase in the cost of land in the responses corresponded to price increases matching the rate of inflation. This is consistent with the very expensive Bay Area market having reached an equilibrium and is reflective of the sharp slowing of growth in Bay Area employment. Though there is little difference between the three markets in the Bay Area, there should be a slight tightening of the East Bay multi-family market.
By contrast, in Southern California the panel's view is that land prices are going to increase faster than the rate of inflation. This is driven by the improved job growth in the Southland and indicative of a faster rate of household formation. For the three markets, San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles, there is very little difference in the sentiment indexes.
However, the differences in sentiment throughout the State are not reflective of any pull back in this sector, only a continuation of a shortage of housing creating excess demand for new rental units. What about the favorable treatment of real estate development in the new tax code? When the rate of return is sufficient to hit capacity in development and construction, a higher rate of return cannot induce more. Thus, at least in the difficult building environment in California, there is no tax bump in multi-family home construction.
The ostensible purpose of the tax overhaul is to ease the tax cost to businesses and free up cash for investment. This is advertised as a way to increase economic growth. The proposition for a full employment economy is controversial, but it is an empirical question as to whether or not these outcomes will obtain that result. As our retail and multi-family housing panels demonstrate, other fundamentals may be more important than corporate tax rate reductions and new income pass-through provisions. However, the office and industrial markets are interpreting the change in the tax code as inducing more office using employment and more consumption on the part of households. Thus just as economists are not in agreement on the potential outcome of the tax overhaul, our panelists are also of different minds as to how the new tax structure will affect their business. The June 2018 survey might give us more insight, but for now we can expect moderate but uneven growth in commercial real estate development.

ASSET OWNERS MAKING SIGNIFICANT ALLOCATIONS TO ESG WITH MORE CAPITAL ON THE WAY
ASSET OWNERS MAKING SIGNIFICANT ALLOCATIONS TO ESG WITH MORE CAPITAL ON THE WAY, ACCORDING TO CFA SOCIETY NEW YORK SURVEY
Mainstreaming of ESG reflects broader effort to reform capital markets, with 60% of asset owners excited about the Business Roundtable statement about a shift to stakeholder capitalism
NEW YORK, October 8, 2019 — Institutional asset owners are aggressively embracing ESG, with 45% reporting that ESG is fully or significantly integrated across their portfolios and 39% planning to more formally integrate ESG into their investment processes. That's according to a survey of 89 asset owners who were in attendance at the 2nd Annual ESG and Climate Asset Owner Summit ("ESG Summit"), which was hosted by the CFA Society New York ("CFANY").
In total, more than 200 asset owners — such as pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, family offices, endowments and development finance institutions — with more than $15 trillion in combined assets attended the ESG Summit, which was held on September 23-24, 2019 in New York as part of Climate Week NYC.
"Asset owners have a tremendous amount of power and influence when it comes to shaping the future direction of the global capital markets," said Daniel Dagen, CFA, CEO of CFANY. "As the world's sustainability challenges become more severe and urgent, these asset owners are sending a clear message to the financial services industry: ESG and sustainability must become the new normal."
"The twin cousins of finance and capitalism must evolve to meet the needs of today's world," said Hiro Mizuno, Executive Managing Director and CIO of Japan's Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF), the world's largest pension fund. "It's time for the investment community to accept its social responsibility, which means working to minimize, mitigate, and reverse any negative externalities caused by our investments."
"At a minimum, this means they must start integrating environmental, social, and governance data into their investment process immediately," he added. "Too many asset owners say they are waiting for standardized data or more academic proof. But in investing, as in many industries, if you wait until a theory is fully proven it's already too late. The ESG movement shows us a path forward to a more sustainable form of capitalism that can contend with systemic threats like the climate crisis."
The survey showed that asset owners broadly agree with Mizuno, who was one of the keynote speakers at the ESG Summit and also sits on CFANY's Asset Owner Advisory Board. The majority of asset owners said that they were excited about the recent Business Roundtable statement on the "purpose of a corporation" to serve all stakeholders, with 60% saying that "the statement shows that the ESG movement has momentum." In contrast, only 17% called the statement a "publicity stunt with no substance" and even fewer (8%) said that the statement "undercuts accepted notions of managerial accountability to shareholders."
The survey also found that:
Asset owners are integrating ESG across their portfolios: Nearly a quarter (21%) of asset owners surveyed said that ESG is fully integrated across their portfolio while an additional 24% said they have significant allocations to ESG (representing at least half the portfolio). More than a quarter (29%) said that they have no specific allocations to ESG within their portfolios.
Asset owners are committed to continued learning about ESG: Asset owners picked education as their top priority over the next 12 months, with 42% planning to educate their supervisory board on the importance of ESG and sustainability issues, and 36% planning to train existing staff on how to use ESG data. Other immediate priorities for asset owners included more formally integrating ESG into their investment processes by updating existing policies or adopting new ones (39%) and hiring additional ESG specialists (24%).
Uncertainty over ESG data presents the biggest challenge for asset owners: More than half (51%) said that the "lack of quality ESG data" was their biggest challenge in allocating to ESG-oriented investments. This easily topped the other survey choices, which included: "skepticism over the viability of ESG" (15%), "political or regulatory uncertainty" (14%), "confusion over industry terminology" (10%) and "lack of quality fund managers" (10%).
Risk/return opportunities are driving growing adoption of ESG: A combined 59% of asset owners cited "evidence of the materiality of ESG issues" (35%) and "opportunities to generate alpha" (24%) as their biggest motivators in allocating to ESG- or impact-oriented investments. More than a third (38%) pointed to "growing investor or beneficiary demand" while virtually nobody cited "regulatory or political pressure" (3%).
Consensus is beginning to emerge on ESG metrics: While 33% of asset owners use internally developed ESG metrics to build and monitor their portfolios, the industry standards with the most widespread support include: the PRI (42%), UN SDGs (25%), SASB (22%) and TCFD (20%). Only 24% said they do not use any measurement or reporting metrics or standards.
In addition to Mizuno, several of the 130+ speakers who participated in the ESG Summit include:

Local District Supervisor of the Year Finalists say it's owed to their districts
Local District Supervisor of the Year Finalists say the recognition is owed to their school districts.
Local District Supervisor of the Year Finalists say it's owed to their districts Local District Supervisor of the Year Finalists say the recognition is owed to their school districts. Check out this story on jacksonsun.com: https://www.jacksonsun.com/story/news/education/2019/10/08/district-supervisor-year-gibson-special-lauderdale/3907282002/
Lasherica Thornton, Jackson Sun Published 1:21 p.m. CT Oct. 8, 2019 | Updated 1:26 p.m. CT Oct. 8, 2019
The local district supervisor of the year finalists in Gibson and Lauderdale Counties said the recognition belongs to their school districts.
Goad: highlighting the work in Gibson Co.
Michelle Goad is the instructional supervisor for fifth through eighth grade as well as the testing coordinator in Gibson County Special School District.
As the instructional supervisor, Goad is a resource for teachers in providing them feedback, ensuring they have the curriculum they need and ensuring they're teaching at the right levels.
She's been in the role for 11 years after teaching and being an instructional coach in the district.

More than a decade ago, it wasn't her plan to be a supervisor.
She had a love of teaching, being in the classroom and being with kids, so she figured an administrative role, if any, wouldn't happen early in her career, like it did.
"I want to see each and every kid in our district have the same type of education regardless of which building they're in," she said.
She's willing to take risks and try new initiatives and has a good, working relationship with her teachers, Goad said about herself.
"I spend a lot of time in the buildings," Goad said as she talked about her role. "They're (teachers) the experts. They're the ones doing it everyday, so I listen to their feedback and try to make the best decisions based on that feedback and our data."
The honor highlights the work they do in Gibson County, she said of the district that's been ranked in the top 10% of schools in the state.
"It's recognition not just for the supervisor role but for the teachers and what they do because it speaks volume for the achievement in our district," Goad said.
Since being honored with the recognition, teachers and others have contacted Goad in appreciation of her work, which humbled Goad.
For example, a superintendent from a neighboring county emailed Goad to congratulate her, but she said her comment was that "My teachers make me look good."
"We all work hard, so I think it's as much as a recognition for what they (teachers) do and for the work our students do," she said. "I just think it validates the extremely hard work that we do and the high expectations we have in our district for the students and the teachers."
Farris: a collective effort
Susan Farris is the director of secondary and career technical education for Lauderdale County. In the position for seven years, she oversees instruction for academics and career technical education.
Farris had worked in the school setting for years until she reached the point in her life, where she felt she needed to make changes in order to grow. That's when the position became available with the opportunity for a new experience.

She said she feels her responsibility has been to set her students up for success, either through ACT scores, dual enrollment/credit or industry certifications.
Always putting students first, looking at the needs of students individually and advising students about the next steps is what Farris said she does.
Going forward, she wants to establish high expectations for her students, whether in academics or in the career technical field. .
Lauderdale County is classified as an economically distressed county, which is based on unemployment rates and income and poverty levels.
It speaks to the economic picture of the district and that that the challenges are ofttimes dictated by students' environment, Farris said.
But Farris called herself a representative of the district and of the collective effort of the district's work.
"When we're recognized, people realize that poverty does not define us, that we can rise above that designation and move all of our students forward," Farris said. "I'm not saying it's not challenging some days, but we do it, and we do it with a positive outlook and hard work."

In this module, our young teacher encounters a final test in the form of marketers that attempt to push technology tools on him and his classroom. We give some final advice about how to deal with the massive numbers of tools that are currently available, and what to do to ensure that the tools that are chosen will truly benefit students.
[SOUND] >> Do I have a product for you?
Okay, what are my objectives?
Yeah, I want my students to do presentations.
>> So the product I have.
>> Does it create interactive presentations?
>> No, I don't know what that- >> Bye then.
[SOUND] Before you speak, I want you to know what I'm looking for.
I have a student presentation coming up.
now let's see if I can go somewhere with this.
I'm looking for a way to give more exciting presentations.
Tri, what do you got?
>> So glad you brought me along.
on a city of their choice.
Fun project, all right, what were you thinking?
the shoulder, I was hoping for something a bit more.
Well, what if you had your students be tour guides?
>> Like take a tour through Venice.
and maybe end with some sort of festival that has food and music.
>> That sounds great, exactly what I'm looking for.
A virtual tour through Venice, wow.
>> I'll need to choose a technology.
The project this big, I'll probably want to choose multiple technologies.
I wonder what technologies are available to create that kind of presentation.
But beware, there is still a lot of choices out there.
Looks like you want to create a multi modal experience for your learners.
Let's see how you manage.
>> No, no, not you.
Yes, definitely use that technology.
The rest of you, disappear.
will allow you to create a WebQuest?
>> No, I've never heard of it, what is that?
>> Tri, what do you think?
>> Looks legitimate, give it a try.
>> Welcome to the team.
>> Could have never done it without you.
>> I didn't tell you how it's going to end.
Just how it's going to begin.
A world with technology, a world where anything is possible.
Where we go from there is a choice I leave up to you.

This heatwave is hot isn't it! It also appears like it's forecast to last all month, which means heatwave survival tactics are reaching new levels and so I compiled this list and asked some fellow bloggers for their top 'getting the kids to sleep in a heatwave' tactics too. It's amazing how many similar tactics emerged!
I first shared the ways we were keeping H cool in the heat almost 3 years ago, when she was 7 months old. She's now 3.5 and we also have Baby B who has just turned one. We've coped with the heat each year, including living in a house with a south facing garden… aka two bedrooms in the sun all day. H's bedroom faces north, however that just means the sun is on her window at bedtime. Excellent just what we need. Not! So, we've found a few ways to keep the house and bedrooms as cool as possible.
I've compiled a few tips we've gained and tweaked through the years, and also a few tips from some blogging friends which we personally haven't tried, but they think are game-changers.
These are a must in our house as they really make the room darker as we always find that light still gets round the blackout curtains.
We've roller blinds in each of the girls' rooms, but I've also taped blackout curtain linings to their windows so that the gaps of light around the roller blinds don't show through. It's worked really well and also reflects the sun away from the room, while we're still able to have the window open during the day.
We also make sure to tuck the curtains in behind the radiator below so that no light can escape there either.
I also tried taping cardboard to the wall to bridge the gap between the blind edges and the wall. It makes a bit of a difference but I think I prefer the linings in the window option.
Keeping the curtains shut with the windows open does seem to make a huge difference both to the light evenings and light mornings, as well as keeping the heat out of the rooms. H has unicorn blackout curtains from Next and B has owl blackouts from Dunelm – both make a huge difference.
Keep each room at its own temperature. So, our hall has a window which gets the sun from 3pm, it's scorching hot and heats up the whole of upstairs and we don't want that heat getting into the bedrooms.
4. Door wedges, and open the doors and windows!
In saying the above…, if there is a breeze coming in one side of the house, take advantage and open the internal doors so it cools throughout out the house. Just make sure to edge the doors open otherwise baby will be woken from a door slamming!
Yup babies sleep in just a nappy but if we have the fan on or there is a draft her a 0.5 tog sleeping bag keeps it off her. and kids in pants and perhaps a thin sheet (no duvet).
Charlie from www.ouralteredlife.com also agrees suggesting "cotton sheets to replace a duvet" helps.
Some nights I've been doing this too…. it's so refreshing. It really helps get rid of the sun cream, the sticky skin and cool down. It also helps with the ridiculous amount of ice lolly that B seems to get stuck in her hair.
Pop a tub of ice or cold water in front of a fan to create a cool airstream. We've done this for a few years now and it really makes a difference. We have normal 'desk' fans but also now have a 'tower fan' which we are more comfortable having in H's bedroom as she can't stick her fingers in it.
Beth from www.twinderelmo.co.uk thought this worked well too.
We've been making sure both girls have either ice lollies or yoghurt for pudding to keep them cool after their dinner.
If the girls are still hungry after their dinner the girls have some fruit, particularly strawberries or cucumber – fruits high in water content to keep them hydrated.
If the girls are quite hot we have popped icy cold water in a mini hot water bottle to try to cool their beds. I'm sit sure if that's really helped but felt like I'd tried something!
H has her Fisher Price light show and music projector which she still loves for bedtime, and B has her My Hummy which we use to mask the outside noises which are much louder when the windows are open. Card, trains, buses, motorbikes are a bit less obvious when these are playing so we hope they help keep them asleep. Not sure if they really help, but it makes sense!
We've found that making sure the girls can always access water during the day, and allowing lots of down time (yes, giving into the requests for PJ Masks and Peppa Pig) do make a difference. It's hot and these toddlers seem to need more downtime too.
Obviously these aren't miracle workers, the house is still hot, in fact often B's room is 27C, and some night she is waking but she's also teething again, dribbling away and hands in her mouth. And, if all my usual options haven't worked to get her back to sleep if hubby gives her a bottle, she'll fall asleep without a doubt. Frustrating but at least we all get back to sleep, and our poor neighbours who must also hear her screams with everyone's windows open all night!
If you have any more tips, or if any of these are life changers for you, leave me a comment below!
If you have an amazing how to get the kids to sleep in a heatwave tip and are happy for me to include it in this post do say so in the comments and I'll add an update section.
I've a few more posts related to heatwaves and gorgeous summer weather… and if you have a Perfect Prep and it's having trouble making baby's bottles I have some solutions and more about the problem – Perfect Prep machine warning light in hot weather.
Excellent. When my nieces were hot at night, they would panic and feel worse. Having airflow helps quite a bit.

2020 Polestar 1: What's the point? | Everyone's a Critic
And there you go. [LAUGH] So today we are in the, I don't think it has a model here, but it's the new Polestar 1. [LAUGH] Not the Volvo Polestar 1. [LAUGH] Not the Polestar P1, but the Polestar 1. [LAUGH] It's a really confusing naming scheme, but it's simple. First car from Polestar. [LAUGH] This is so much fun [LAUGH]. And so what you've just witnessed was the acceleration of its hybrid powertrain. Because the first Volvo vehicle is gonna be a plug in hybrid. And now Volvo Polestar 2 dude. Damn it even I'm doing it now. The first vehicle that we're in right now plug in hybrid. Very powerful hybrid gasoline turbocharged supercharged engine up front, two electric motors out back. 758 pound feet of torque. [LAUGH]. And now you're getting a taste of those big old beefy [UNKNOWN] breaks with a rotors bigger than me out of wheels. Funny when you see that you're like wow, there's a lot of master stop here. [LAUGH]. Yeah well it's a with all the battery. Reason the hybrid power train. It's a 5100 Yeah. which is what we're doing today, everyone's a critic. We're gonna be taking some of your feedback from our previous first drive in this vehicle. When our editor in chief Tim Stevens drove a very early pre production version, and we're also gonna be taking the automaker to task about some of the flowery language Which they use in their press releases, and I can't wait to hear what the press, what the manufacturers say, because Volvo, like they're just note will, sorry, whole star. How that's going to be so hard, dude. Like you're, if Lexis had this much trouble in the first year, I don't think so because the LS didn't look anything like Toyota's lineup looks like gumballs though a hell of a lot. Like an S. 60 Polestar designed. All right, okay. So what are the manufacturers saying? So here we go. An electric performance hybrid engineered without compromises and designed down to the micron. To. To the micron. Do you know how small a micron is? I know how small a micron is? A micron. It's microscopic. A human hair is 50 microns across. Yep. There is no way this is designed down to the To the [UNKNOWN] No Did they explain that? No, that's just designed down to the [UNKNOWN] Which is interesting because on our first drive video, a whole lot of our readers pointed out the massive panel gaps on the pre production version. Yeah, but that's a pre production Pre-production vehicle. That happens on pre-production. The one we're in today is closer to production. And so the panel caps look a lot nicer. Yeah. The whole fit and finish of the vehicle looks a lot better. I mean, you were saying earlier that it's a lot like an XC40 interior. But I feel like the materials are a little bit Higher quality. This actually feels a lot like the XC90 Inscription that has the crystal shifter. Yes, yeah, yeah. We've got something like that here. Just general fit and finish, nice Nappa leather, carbon fiber here on the dashboard, which hints at the fact that the entire body of this vehicle is made with carbon fiber. Is carbon fiber, baby! Except the floor, which is steel. [LAUGH] But even that has an extra carbon fiber brace. It's to stiffen up that chassis. Yeah. So here we go. Okay, what else do we got? Do we have anything from readers? Tell you what we got, my phone. Here we go. Here's what we got, we'll just power through. Okay. Power through. [CROSSTALK] manufacture we don't have a lot of it. Okay. And we wanna dig right in to what you guys are saying also. Polestar 1 is where world-class engineering and high-grade components meet uncompromised design. Beautiful lines with powerful sculpted exterior surfaces are combined with state of the art technology underneath each and every part. Every detail is there for a reason. I mean, I'm not going to deny the sculpted part. I mean, there's some pre like pretty intense creases out here on the body, especially on the side rear quarter panel and on the hood. Like those creases a mean it mean business. Flowery language but at the same time, I can get down with it, it's a great looking car. Yes. A fantastic looking car. They pulled off some very interesting tricks with the creases, thanks to the carbon fiber construction. So they don't have to stamp the panels, they can actually do a little something different with them there. And there is an interesting technology underneath. We'll get into a second whether this is the technology that people want, but it's there and it's very interesting. The use of carbon fiber has hugely influenced the overall form of Polestar one. I'm unflappable, enabling a distinctive low roofline and creating a unique silhouette, which is kind of what we just talked on. Yeah. great looking car. Yeah. I just feel though like I do feel a little claustrophobic. I mean, Well, I'm glad. Yeah, I know. But I think I'm five nine. I'm not I cut my hair can't get much higher before it starts session. And the roof of this car. I don't know. I feel like it's a good-sized vehicle. Feels pretty good to me. And I would say also that with the proportion. One thing that I really like about the exterior of this vehicle is the sort of wheel-to-body ratio. Yeah, it looks nice. Definitely looks a whole lot Like the concept that came before it, and also, it's got very like muscle car proportions. Last bit from the manufacturer before we get into what you guys said, and that's gonna be both the interior and exterior design can be customized according to your preferences choose between six exclusive colors All available in metallic or Matte versions carefully selected to match the design of the vehicle, add a unique touch to your personal vehicle. Add a unique touch to your personal choice of upholstery is not that unflappable turns out. [LAUGH] Rims and brightwork. Make sure you get the Polestar 1 the way you want it. I mean like kinda sort of, they're making it seem like as if it's bespoken. It's not. Clearly not bespoken. You got two interior choices, three wheel finishes. And six colors, right? Six Six colors or with with matte finish is technically it's 12 colors. And then you got a choice between Matt or glossy black trim on the outside from that super bespoke. There aren't even any options again on this vehicle when you pay your $155,000 Pollstar one, your only choice at that point or what color do you want it to be and you want to pay an extra five grand? For your Mac finish. Okay. And then 1500 bucks for destination charges, of course. Not super customizable, but. They're pushing the envelope there. Pushing the envelope there. Okay, what do people say what do I Say I'm interested. Here's, [LAUGH] we got a lot of, it looks like a Volvo Mustang. And that comes from Quinton on our YouTube video. And that is what springs to mind when you see this car in profile. It's got very old Mustang looks, the way the tail sorta scoops up. Yeah, it scoops up. And there's big haunches in the back for those 21 inch wheels, yeah. Real muscle car-y. Great. Mm-hm. Here we go. We got one from Jameel Ja. Great looking car but 15, I mean what, 5,100 pounds, yowzers. There are pick-up trucks and full sized SUVs that weigh less than that, lol. Yeah, but this thing has so much power though that that overcomes a lot of the weight. And plus you gotta have batteries. I mean. You gotta have batteries. And that's the weight. Center of mass has a lot to do with how cars feel. But let me ask you like, Tim, when he drove this car earlier this year that you can't really feel the weight in the corners. I didn't really feel like this was a heavy car when I was driving it. How do you feel? I don't feel like it's a really heavy car. I mean, because I have plenty of like mid range torque because those electric motors. Kickin, so I don't feel any of that I don't feel like it's going to get out of sorts with it because all of that mass is down low. And then when I just tap on the brakes, these brakes are amazing and they really bite it and they slow it down really quickly.>> Well, let's see here. This is an interesting one. Okay. What is the point of this car that comes from the one anton? Not me, Anton. Well the point of this car is that it's the first car from pull start and it's a super turbo plug-in hybrid with like over 700 pound-feet of torque. Well I think that sort of speaks to what a lot of people There's a sticker shock with this vehicle. When you see $155,000. Yeah. And you see 700 pound feet, and then you see 5000 pounds. Your mind starts going, is it supposed to be a performance cars? Is it supposed to be a luxury car, is this a Maybach or is this an AMG. [UNKNOWN] Like what is the vehicle trying to do? And I think there is a little bit of confusion and pollsters messaging there, especially for this first one, I think that when they get into the P two the P three further on is they just start making volume electric cars. Yeah. The price gets a little bit lower because those aren't going to be full carbon fibre vehicles the what pulsars trying to do will start to make a lot of sense but this one. It's a weird one. And Polestar as a brand is going to be, Aah! big branch in middle of the road. I remembered that on the way up, and I was like you need to remember where that is. Polestar wants to do all plug-in hybrids or fully electrics, right? We're not going to see just internal combustion engines? It's an electrified brand and so far they've announced this [UNKNOWN] and one fully electric model, which is the two It's volume sort of Tesla Model three fighter compact SUV looking thing. Okay. So I believe going forward we might see a mix of plugins and fully electric. But nothing is going to be just an internal combustion and. No that's not the point of this brand so I guess that's That's kind of the point. Here we go, here's one from, [BLANK_AUDIO] I cannot pronounce, Impionotespaul, so basically an i8? No. No. [LAUGH] The i8, well is it? The i8 But the IH looks wrote checks that its performance could not cash. Right. I really enjoyed having the aid and as soon as you like got it up to speed and in the corners It was a frickin blast and I love the way it looks but he didn't have the torque off the line at all this does. This thing is way more fun when When you put your foot right into it in line three 1.4 liters. Yeah, it was a is a series hybrid, sort of like a volt. So, I think that's one of my favorite things about hybrid vehicles is that there are so many ways to make. Mix Gas and Electric, you got a Honda there with their sort of like he CVT system but then also they've got the NSF with a power train it's very similar to this one but flip backwards. They've got their, there's like Toyota doing he all wheel drive there's BMW doing like range extended EV Pure battery electric. It's the wild west when you say that something is a hybrid, what the hell's happening in the hood. Yeah, what does it mean. And I just find that so interesting. Yeah. But this power train is more or like the NSX [INAUDIBLE]. Yeah, I mean the i8 is great, I think it was a good design study, I think It was a good thing to see if BMW drivers would go for a performance hybrid. I just don't think that the performance part of it went far enough at all. Mm. Mm. So here's one from a Hugo Fernandes talking about the way I saw a XC90 XC90 TG pull out of a junction, I have no doubts in the performance of this car. Yeah. That thing flew like a rat after eating a ghost pepper. [LAUGH] I just liked, rat after eating a ghost pepper. [LAUGH] That's great! That's the only reason [UNKNOWN] comments in here. [LAUGH] But, yeah. Yeah, and another reason why I really like these super turbo. Hybrid. The super turbo power, well, and with the hybrid as well is that if you are someone that lives up in altitude, you don't face any penalties by any reduction in power. Yeah. At 12,000 feet, at sea level, you're gonna get the same amount of power under your right foot, which is really nice for those. People who are living in colder weather climates. Yeah, the first induction definitely solves a lot of problems. And the interesting way they have this one sort of working as a supercharger off the line and then the turbocharger- when it kicks in, along with the sort of extra grunt of the electric motor up front, doing a assist to electric motors at the rear doing their thing, really good performance goals, no gap from the past. And everything is Power. No, no, no, and everything has been really seamless. There's an eight speed automatic transmission on the front axle. That's great. And I've not noticed a shift all day. No. Even when I was hammering it. No, no, no, not at all. Here's one from Martin Hubinette says for [SOUND] sake. [LAUGH] Someone, anyone, please just mount a Long inline engine in the front of a car, run that power to the rear wheels and then use the remaining engine bay space for two electric engines for the front wheels. Slap batteries in the rear for weight distribution. Torque vectoring, regenerative braking and all wheel drive. How is no one thought of this? It's the perfect 40 setup. I don't your heart's in the right place and that sounds like it would be freaking awesome because you'd be able to basically perform like it basically perform like the unisex. Yeah, that would be nice. But the thing is unisex. Has its engine at mid-ship's rear. Because in your setup, there's a drive shaft that runs down the middle of the vehicle. And you also have to cram two electric motors in the engine bay with a gasoline motor which already takes up the whole engine bay in this car. Yeah, a lot of room. You could have a really, really tiny engine. Like a little one-liter, three cylinder [SOUND]. Sounds like what you want is the NSX's powertrain. Train and I think everyone will agree that shift engine is better than front engine. Yeah, absolutely. [LAUGH] Again awesome, awesome comment. I definitely like where your heart's at, where your brain's at there. But it's already been done just without the [UNKNOWN]. Just go and get the NSX. NSX needs a lot of flak. No, you know what, honestly, I haven't had chance to drive the NSX. Because- [UNKNOWN] I know that's not fair, I don't think I was in town. It's awesome. But it's one of those cars where you get caught up in the numbers and you miss the point of the car. So what would you rather have I know you've only spent a few hours in this car, would you rather go this or NSX? NSX. Is it a good engine? Well if I"m spending that much money on a car, it should like the future. [LAUGH]. Should look like the few. Yeah, I mean you know the unisex is also it bends more in the performance, direction it's, you know it has a very similar setup to this vehicle, but by flipping the [UNKNOWN]. [CROSSTALK]. By being low. Wait. Yeah, and I would definitely feel more comfortable taking an NSF onto the track. Or an auto cost than I would with this. The vehicle is really good. I think this would be a better daily driver. Especially with that plug in hybrid power train. With the ability to use full me put you back on that gasoline engine. Yes, please. Power mode especially with the ability to. [NOISE] [LAUGH] The ability to have basicaaly two cars in one here, a very quite but sporty vehicle, but still also a bit of a monster when you want it. It definitely makes a better daily driver. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, we've got a stright-a-way here, so I'm gonna take it because it's gonna Gonna be fun. I'm gonna attempt to read a question while you do that,>> Okay, when you are ready we got a couple of, Wait, is that a cop? No, you gotta tell me if you're a cop. Okay, ready 3 2 1 [LAUGH] Well my foot is to the floor and that's that's too bad. that's really fast, Not bad. No.Sounds really good for forbing?>> Yeah, I mean not a lot of noise gets into the cabin but again, they're not going for this that performance car feel and you can just hear it just enough in the engine to be like, freaking awesome but not enough that you're like sorry Nick, Neighbors. But still, on the subject of the power train, we got a couple of responses two readers that asked the same- Actually a lot of readers but here are two that stand out. I'm disappointed that it is not fully electricby Devil Gaara 8. And but why is it a bhybrid? Just make it fully electric, by Rick James Rick James? Like Super Freak Rick James? That Rick James. I didn't know he was really interested in doing it. Specifically him, not some random person on the internet who used Rick James as their YouTube. Well no, we've already talked about that. That's what's gonna happen with the pulse star two. I think with this vehicle, you've got a contingency of people who Who's got excited about a car that looks like this but is full electric. And that's what the Polestar 2 is gonna be, right? Yes. [CROSSTALK] But Polestar 2 is gonna be like kinda cutsie, compact car. [CROSSTALK] It's not gonna be this. Typical. It's not gonna be the E trying [UNKNOWN], which is- Also there's a lot of people in this country that don't live near infrastructure where they can have a fully electrical vehicle whereas this- Different strokes for different folks, I agree 100% with you there. There's different types of [UNKNOWN] that work for different people. We just gotta a charger at the house, I'm super stocked Yeah, so I'm just going to take this home and plug it in to me level two charger. You're not taking this one home. [LAUGH] So, along the lines of like disappointment in this not being an electric, not fully electric vehicle, we asked Asked from the road show account on our YouTube video. Which would you rather have? This hybrid pole star one, or the upcoming electric pole star 2? This one. Let's see what the readers say. It was split three ways between a third of the people wanting the pole star one, a third of the people wanting the pole star two, And a third of them. Wanting like a charger hellcat? A third of them wanted neither. The most often cited vehicle was a high performance Tesla, because I think a lot of people again. There's probably a contingency of people who have a bunch of money they want to spend on a performance vehicle, but they feel like a plug in hybrid's a half step. Here we go, The External is clean and classic with nice light attributes. The powertrain is as sad as an engine should, wait- What? I- The powertrain is sad- As the engine should be unique, extra-special for this price category. They probably regret going with the hybrid, as their timing for BEV was just a bit off. They should make a 2.5 second BEV in the next version to justify the price. That comes from. Roy McLellan. What is the zero to sixty on this, do you know? I don't know? Do you want to find out? No, we already just did that. I mean we are on a public road so we shouldn't do that. I don't know the number off the top of my head, but we do have a full first drive and a second drive on theroadshow.com, and then we've also got an in depth ride from editor in chief Tim Stevens where you can find out a little bit Bit more info This is more of a feedback show. Hassan Ger says ugly boring and slow process agree with all of this? Yes absolutely. Who in their right mind would choose this crap over an M8 or an LC500? Totally different cars. Yeah, well, the LC is sort of, they're both GTs. They're both expensive. Ft coupe so they're not exactly totally different cars. But I think that also sort of falls in that neither one of those is as exclusive as this. There is somebody who wants to get this first, fully carbon fiber Pollstar vehicle added to their collection and fit in the garage. [LAUGH] So sad What would it be like to be able to have a car collection? I'll never find out on Roadshow salary. I know. [LAUGH] The best I could hope for is a small Miata collection. Or the Jeep. Let's see here. We got one from Dusan Skebic who is waiting for the Etron GT. You and me both buddy. [LAUGH] But I think the interesting thing about the Etron GT is I think much like with the Etron SUV that just dropped earlier this year. People are going to wait on that GT when it comes out Next door are gonna nitpick it. I know. Because it's only gonna have 250 miles of electric range and Tesla fans are gonna come out of the woodwork to remind you of that everyday. Yeah. But it looks amazing. This car looks amazing. I am also Really excited about driving and you trying a GT. My god, it's so much fun. [LAUGH]. We got a whole lot of readers, basically everyone else, who came out of the woodwork, who came to our video from seeing this vehicle in the Need for Speed Heat trailer. Really? You know what the Need for Speed Heat is? No. It's a video game. So this car features as one of the hallmark cars in the Need for Speed e-video. That's super cool. Have you played it? Well, it's not out yet. Okay. But half of you saw the car in that video, in that trailer, came to our site and wanted to see what it was all about. And then A quarter of those are a little bit disappointing. [LAUGH] But it's a polarizing vehicle this Polestar. That's how you're going to remember what the brand is, it's polarizing Polestar. I'm just going to keep calling it a Volvo and hope that they don't notice. On our first drive on the website we got one from Marcogman. He says looks great but not enough for the money. You're buying a Volvo experiment and one that is woefully underperforming, where the market should be currently 100 miles electric with great front wheel drive performance? Regardless of carbon fiber plastics and all that brings, this should have been the state of the Volvo line about a year ago and for a lot less. They are basically selling their expense to move to the future. Unfortunately, you buy the present Maybe the recent past when compared to what we will have this year from others. And what is Tesla already brought? That's a pretty. It's a pretty good [LAUGH] It's well thought out when you took the time to leave it and I mean, I can understand that sentiment. Yeah and it's definitely one that a lot of our readers share the that. State of the art is EV now. People get excited about EVs. I am excited about the upcoming Toyota Mirai. Yeah, it looks so good. Because I'm still a hydrogen dude. I think people in their head when they, Hear hybrid, they still think Prius. Yeah. They still think->> They still think boring, sitting in the fast lane at 55 miles an hour with no get up and go [CROSSTALK] and that's not what we've got these days. People's notions about the architecture of this vehicle, what with the gasoline engine only being connected to the front wheels. The first thing they think is it's front wheel drive car. But it's actually mostly rear wheel drive, in the front wheel drive only kick in when they're needed or under performance mode it's actually more of a 50/50 split. Yeah. This isn't a front wheel drive car. I mean, in theory if all of your electrics went out. [LAUGH] Then sure, it would be a front wheel drive car but- It'd be front wheel drive car, but this car would never operate under those conditions. You have a lot problems if, [LAUGH] all your electrics go out on your Polestar. But definitely a messaging issue this vehicle, with the Polestar brand. And you've gotta think that somebody on their team is scrambling right now like, we put out this high performance hybrid, and everyone's talking EVs, EVs, EVS. [LAUGH] And as a first step for their brand, I mean it's a gorgeous car. So they're gonna win that. It's a great performing car. They're gonna win that. But when people start doing that sort of like bench racing, when they're like Sunday morning, Monday morning, [CROSSTALK] quarterbacking, the car doesn't look great. And since it's also super exclusive, they're only selling about 1,500, they may only be 50 to a 100 in the United States. Most people would never get to drive them to wipe that notion away. And so, as a first step for their brand, this is not a great one, even though it's a great vehicle I don't think it's great step for their brand. But hindsight 2020, right? All right, well we're almost back to our HQ here [UNKNOWN] Today so what else you got anything else? Let's see here we got one from Andrew sartin says 11 would come and start with let's be honest about adaptive suspension okay, it's okay for rental cars reviewers who give the car back right away and the will to do but a $400 corner plus installation is it. Expensive pain in the ****. Going through IPD isn't going to save you any money. And I think this in reference to the fact that these are these Olins dampers, we've got an east corner manually adjustable but they're good old fashioned dampers not an adaptive suspension. So in order to get any. Any kind of different suspension I'd have to go in with a couple of tools. No you just pop the hood and you turn that bad boy with [INAUDIBLE]. I think a lot of people were complaining that this car, this expensive doesn't have like a fancy adapter I set out right. And, what Andrew here is saying is that it's not really worth the money. He also says that even Honda's new adaptive struts are $400 each in the parts category. And that's a pointlessly bad value for car like the Accord. I think if you're spending $150,000 you probably got money for struts on this. I also don't think this car will ever be driven enough that you're wearing those struts out. No, no, no. And honestly- But I agree with every You saying? When you get into a car that has adaptive suspension? Don't you just always put it on sport? No. You don't? No. You're crazy? I usually go normal or comfort because I live in Oakland, California. I live in Oakland, world's worst second only to Detroit, Michigan. Were worst worlds in the world. Worst world in the world? Worst world in the world. At that point, it simply. This is a different one from these last two. From Icolbowca. At that point this' simply a collector's car. Somebody who can say that they have one of the only 50 Polestars ever built. Yeah, that [INAUDIBLE] Honestly, $150,000 I can get a high performance vehicle with the assurance of a legacy brand name. If you're a new carmaker and you wanna establish your brand, you sell average cars that perform at above average. a-la-Kia Put that in there for a shout out to somebody who clearly appreciates the kia stinger as much as we do. Yeah i guess he usually Yeah the kia stinger i think i don't think it did as much for the Kia brand as they were hoping as old as well which is too bad, it's so much fun Yeah, but again that is what doesn't matter yeah we're not talking about. About the Kia Stinger, we were talking about the Polestar. Tell me about the Kia Stinger. We've got time. Well, the only thing I didn't like about the Kia Stinger is that there was you had to put it into sport mode to get anything out of it. It was the first thing I did was start the car, click, click over to sport mode. Well, that's the point of sport mode, isn't it? Yeah, but comfort mode was just such a drag. It was like you- Comfort mode? But it was not even It was a [UNKNOWN] more comfortably but then like a throttle was super Muted and the shifts were lazy and i was just like this is terible [UNKNOWN] you would like the B-M-W empire which is entirely too firm even in comfort mode think that's the point to drive the car to the field different between the modes wasn't even the point It was too comfy it was too large [UNKNOWN] Comfy. [LAUGH] All right, last one. Funny thing, I owned an S60 Polestar, this is from pmind, P-M-I-N-D, I pronounced that wrong. Funny thing, I owned an S60 Polestar for about three months. And just like this car, the power delivery was impressive but the transmission was abysmal. Just like this car? Nope. Not driven this car. It was really, truly terrible. I has assumed it was just because Polestar had to work with the existing S60 platform, but here we are again. No, we already talked about [UNKNOWN]. The transmission of the vehicle- Yeah. Is transparent. I don't know if, maybe other people have had other experiences, but- Where's, I do have a manual mode here. Is this a flip over, or just a [UNKNOWN]? You got [UNKNOWN] shifters that you can use for them, but- Yeah. I mean, they don't. You don't effect the electric motors at all with that. Yeah. But the polyshifters, it shifts it pretty quickly. It's like the equivalent of hopping in a Tesla and saying it doesn't change gears fast. That's not really the point of gears. The other thing is that PMI, whatever. That commenter. The only thing this person brings up. You stay right there. That there is that idea again, that there's a lot of platform sharing with your regular 50 thousand [UNKNOWN] Dollar normal. [UNKNOWN] Yeah, I think that can be [UNKNOWN] a little bit less special for people who are you know. And [UNKNOWN] but [UNKNOWN] and I rose that concern with them. It was pointed out to me that only 50% of the parts in this vehicle are shared with any other mobile. [UNKNOWN] The other 50% are bespoke Pollstar bits. A lot of that is gonna be mean you know the entire chassis and white. Yeah. Is basically unique except for the floor, which is shortened. But yeah, it's a very different vehicle, but I think that's also sort of the nature of. True of the way cars are built now. Every manufacturer's moved to a modular platform. Yeah, isn't the Volkswagen Atlas is the same platform as the Golf or something crazy like that? They are both on the same platform. The same platform and it's like two entirely separate vehicles. One's a big 'ol three-row SUV and the other is- And then that little hatchback. Tiny little heads back and just the nature of the beast is that you know, you can you can develop a lot faster. You can be a lot more like cost effective. Yeah, that's the thing here. But when you're when you're dealing with you're not doing Reinventing the wheel with every other vehicle. Deal different and I would wager that even the Pollstar to the fully electric one that's coming out is going to share something either absolute MTA or the CMA platform from Volvo, because those platforms were built with electrification in mind. So I mean, the best you can really hope for is that when these platforms are designed that they are designed. With someone who has poor thinking. Yes. So that's been. Everyone's good at it. That's it, everyone's comments. [UNKNOWN] for you right here so we can read them at Respond to them in the vehicle that we've been talking about. So as I've mentioned a couple of times before, we've got a full first drive over on theroadshow.com. We've got a full second drive over on theroadshow.com. So you can get my opinion Opnion and editor in chief Tim Stevens opinion about this vehicle right over there. We've got a walk around too. Yeah. We've got a complete walk around where we look at the exterior of this vehicle and some of the design. And this is a new format for us, we're trying some new things. So, why don't you let us know in the comments below whether you like it or not. What would you like us to do differently? And we'll take that into advisement. Until nex time.

Topping the release roster is Samir Qantar, who is serving a life sentence for a 1979 border raid and whom Israeli officials previously described as the last "bargaining chip" for the return of missing Israeli soldiers Ron Arad.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert sought the government's go-ahead on Sunday for a prisoner swap with Hezbollah to get two soldiers.
Israeli media said Olmert would win a majority vote for the German-mediated deal at the cabinet session, despite arguments against trading live Lebanese prisoners in light of intelligence assessments that the soldiers are dead.
"This is a matter of the highest moral order," Olmert said in broadcast remarks to the ministers before the debate, which was expected to take around two or three hours.
Through a U.N.-appointed German negotiator, Israel has offered to free five Lebanese fighters and repatriate the remains of around 10 people in exchange for Israeli soldiers Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev.
Hezbollah has said little about the indirect negotiations, but a Lebanese political source said this month that the final touches were being put on the swap deal.
Asked about media reports that the exchange could take place within two weeks, Transport Minister Shaul Mofaz, a former defence chief, told Israel Radio: "Whether it happens on the 11th or the 12th (of July) is not critical ... What's important is that we get this done as soon as possible."


Chambers pointed the finger at Net Neutrality for a slow down in purchasing by carriers in US markets and that he perceives it as damaging to Cisco business interests. I find it more credible that SDN/NFV is slowing capital investments than some far off political change.
So, sure, you COULD run NSX and ACI in the same network. No, you WOULD NOT run NSX and ACI in the same network.


Brexit, post-quake, bureaucracy and high taxes do not stop foreign investors looking for a second home in Italy.
According to Gate-away.com, Italian real estate portal devoted to foreigners who want to buy Italian homes, in the first months of this year, real estate demand growth was 25.42% compared to the first half of 2016.
They are mainly Germans (15.86%), US (14.5%) and British people (14.18%), followed by French (6.21%) and foreign buyers sending requests from Italian territory (5.98%).

U.S. Senate calls for whistleblower complaint to be sent to intelligence panels
The U.S. Senate on Tuesday approved a resolution calling on the Ukraine whistleblower complaint to be submitted to the Senate and House of Representatives intelligence committees.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer urged Republicans, who hold the majority of seats in the Senate, to support his resolution calling for the complaint to be submitted to the committees as required by law. "I cannot imagine any legitimate or straight-faced reason" to object to the legislation, Schumer said, arguing that the only reason would be "to protect the president from accountability."


Well in about a week and a half, Patch Tuesday arrives sans any updates for Windows 8 (as support ran out for the OS on the 12th of January). So after running System Restore, I will be running WSUS Offline and downloading February's updates for Server 2012. I'll check the bulletins for each patch and see which of the patches do not relate to server-specific code, and attempt running those.
I'll keep you posted on what happens. I may need to patch/edit the update.inf file somehow, but I'm not sure yet. This will be the first time that a Windows NT 6x based OS runs out of support, to try this experiment, so I'm eager to see what happens.
I would really like to hear so, since Windows 8 is just easier to setup for desktop use than Server 2012, lol.
I do have Server 2012 running in my home laptop though, and it's perfect. DWM feels smoother in NT 6.2 than 6.3 with the glass8 mod, that's why I'll leave 2012 R2 and completely migrate to R1 in the home computer.
I'll certainly let you know what happens.
What do you need to customize in Server 2012? I remember with Server 2003, I had to enable Media Player and Internet connectivity if I wanted to even browse.. I adjusted RAM for programs vs cache. Does it come with the main Windows 8 desktop, or is it like "Classic"?
Server 2012 has the Aero Lite theme of 8 by default, but you should be able to change to the normal Aero theme of 8 in Personalization. I changed to a custom Vista theme for Windows 8, which works perfect. For all of those bells and whistles of the Aero theme, you can just go to the advanced system settings and change performance settings in there. Of course, for features like Media Player, you still need to install Desktop Experience, along with WLAN Service and .NET Framework 3.5 to get some apps to install and work.
I have noticed, for whatever it may be worth, that WSUS Offline Downloader has dispensed with any inclusion of updates for Windows NT 6.2, as of v10.4. So neither Windows 8 no Server 2012 has been included. How do they expect downloading of Server 2012 patches?
Patch Tuesday is tomorrow, so I'll keep you posted.
Well I got home later than I anticipated, but ran System Restore to create a Restore Point. Then I downloaded six updates (five for Windows Server 2012, and one for Internet Explorer 10). I had shut off the Windows Update service and had cleared the \Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder on a previous occasion, so I started the service and let the folder populate.
Now I had removed IE10 from my system (and even deleted the disk payload for the feature using the DISM command), but I thought perhaps that the IE update would improve security in the IE engine files that may still reside on the system. All updates installed without incident. Now to reboot.
So I guess Server 2012 Updates do install.
And I guess you're covered till Jan 10, 2023 !!!
You may get the v11 update, now that you know the KB, from the MS Update Catalog... Search for "2012" or perhaps "Server", then sort by "latest first", by clicking on the release date column header. Try it, and let me know.
Nope! Won't even bring up a download page. Just says that the Windows 7 version of IE 11 is not compatible with your system.
Keep in mind that the original Server 2012 is only supporting IE 10 as well.
Hey, at least you shouldn't be harassed to update to Windows 10, since your system won't even run Windows 8.1.
Well I'm happy even as it is. Plus this also gives Vista users added hope (since they're in a similar situation). They'll likely be able to do the same with patches from the original Server 2008.
I hope we're able to keep updating 8 until 2023 with this method.
Technically, I could upgrade to 8.1, but since 8 works, I just don't see a reason to do so at this time.
Since I still use Vista on some other machines, I'll be grateful if that works as well. I had planned to continue using Vista as my main OS until at least 2017, but after building my new haswell machine, the hardware just won't take Vista at all. I'm really enjoying the speed and added desktop features/improvements of 8 over Vista though, so I can't say I really miss Vista too much. I also found myself running into so many compatibility issues with Vista with other software, unfortunately.
Anyway, thanks for finding this out.


Before building a robust critter squad, you should first know how to collect creatures. You will need to summon them by tapping the purple-gold treasure box at the lower left corner of the screen.There are two ways to summon critters: Using Idols and Tickets. Both can be found while exploring the map. Tickets are easier to find and can be used to summon common critters, whereas idols are hard to get.
Tip: You will need at least 50 tickets to summon a single creature. I would recommend saving tickets and go for multi-summon. You will need 450 tickets to perform a multi-summon, which gives you a guaranteed rare critter.
There are different types of idols. Common idols can be used to summon common critters whereas legendary idols are used to summon rare creatures. Also look for special daily rewards for free summons. For example: The Spring Fling rewards in the latest update will let you win two summon idols. All you have to do is login daily between April 13 to April 20 2017 and get those rewards.
Occasionally, you might find free offers such as the Exclusive Jade Dragon offer. To get this rare creature, you will need to invite your friends via FB, Twitter and recruit them. A friend is recruited when he/she redeems your invite code. Once you have recruited 10 friends, you will get the rare Jade Dragon and several summon idols. You can also redeem invite codes sent by your friends to receive a rare creature and bonus loot. Such free offers can be found on your home screen.
1. On the collected critters list, tap the "Sort" button if you want to arrange critters by rarity. To do this, just tap the Stars button. This will arrange creatures in the descending order starting from critters that have more stars to those with fewer stars. The more number of stars under a creature's icon, the higher its rarity. Now, choose those critters that have more number of stars and add them to your team. If you have plenty of one-star critters and few rare/uncommon critters, then recruit one or two common creatures that have a higher level.
2. You can also create separate mission-based teams if you have plenty of creatures available. Tap "Creature" > Team and press the double arrow icon at the bottom of the screen. This will reveal empty slots where you can add a new set of creatures to create another team.
You can create a maximum of 7 teams. You can then experiment by deploying separate teams on the same mission to see which squad fares well. If team one fails to defeat enemies, there's team two with a totally different critter-combo that might prove to be better against enemies.
3. You can also create a team by keeping enemy elements in mind. Each element has a unique color. Fire is red, Nature has a green color, Water is Blue and so on. Recruit creatures whose elements are stronger than enemy elements. Now you won't be able to know what enemies you will encounter in a particular mission, so the most viable option would be to have all 5 creatures with five different elements.
Make sure you have collected several creatures before opting for this strategy. You can create one team of rare creatures all belonging to different elements or another team with a mix of rare and legendary belonging to 5 different elements.
Red (Fire) > Nature (Green) > Earth (Yellow) > Water (Blue) > Fire (Red). Dark and Light elements are stronger than each other.

Allen Saalburg (1899-1987) was a painter, illustrator, and innovative screenprinter who spent most of his career working in Frenchtown, New Jersey. From 1917 to 1920 he studied painting at the Pratt Institute and the Art Students League. In the late 1920s, Saalburg worked in Paris and had a solo exhibition at Galerie Bernheim-Jeune before returning to New York in 1930.
Throughout his career, Saalburg illustrated covers for popular magazines. His paintings were shown in group exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago and Whitney Museum of American Art. Solo exhibitions included shows at Grand Central Galleries and Kraushaar Galleries in New York, and others in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He produced complex prints based on his paintings and experimented with screenprinting onto non-traditional surfaces. A piece on plastic panels was commissioned for a pavillion at the 1964 New York World's Fair.
Allen Saalburg's marriage to Muriel King, a costume and fashion designer, ended in divorce. His second wife was Mary Faulconer, a painter. Allen Saalburg died in 1987 in Flemington, New Jersey.
The collection was processed to a minimum level and a finding aid prepared by Catherine S. Gaines in 2013. Minimal processing included arrangement to the series, subseries, and folder levels. Generally, items within folders were simply verified with the original folder titles, but not arranged further. The collection was rehoused in archival containers and folders, but not all staples and clips were removed.

This conference will focus on three complementary questions to understand childhood and early childhood media cultures. Firstly, what mediations to the world do contemporary media offer to children, and what is their role in children's socialization and development? Secondly, how do media contribute to the social and cultural construction of children's image in our societies? Finally, what is the children's situation or integration into these constructions of the self and the world, potentially via some (more or less formal) educational practices? As these three questions cannot be addressed separately, this conference is an invitation to build bridges between them.
The conference will decline these questions towards three directions: (1) the observation and analysis of young children's media uses and practices, (2) the critical exploration of media contents and devices available to children, and how they are designed and delivered to children, (3) the examination of the (formal or informal) educational dimensions that accompany or guide children as they build their media culture and literacy.
This multidisciplinary scientific event is open to researchers studying childhood and / or early childhood media cultures from different perspectives and from various disciplinary frameworks: media studies, psychology, sociology, anthropology, education sciences, language sciences, IT, etc. Expected submissions may deal either with experiments or theoretical reflections, as well qualitative and / or quantitative observations of media practices. They should follow at least one of the suggested directions, even if considering their interdependence is highly recommended.
Today, the child evolves within a media-friendly family environment. Recent surveys show the multiplication of screens in homes. Thus, from an early age, children use and manipulate various media objects that allow them to discover a physical (sensory), social, psychological and symbolic world, different from the one they encounter in the here and now. These practices and usages remain to this day much less documented in the scientific literature than the ones of teenagers, probably partly because of the –supposed – difficulty of investigating younger audiences.
• What media practices and what uses do young children build for themselves, and at which stages of their development?
• In view of developments in the media supply, what status do these uses assign to children within the family, but also in other reception areas for young children?
• What are the psychosocial mechanisms (identity and personality construction, cognitive development, etc.) at work behind these uses?
• What skills (social, technical, cognitive, informational) are developed through these uses?
• What differences can be observed in different social contexts, age or gender of the children?
• How do children themselves consider media devices (screens, connected devices, books, etc.), as well as the recreational, cultural or educational experiences they live with or through them?
Children are now a specific audience for media industries. They represent one (or more) target(s) that content providers (publishers, authors, developers, advertisers, producers, broadcasters) try to reach, with an uneven and sometimes presumed knowledge of their tastes and expectations, and with diverse goals. Moreover, children media contents keep expanding and diversifying with the segmentation and the specialization of media industries (e.g. the children's press, the children TV channels, etc.) on the one hand, and since the advent and the democratization of digital technologies on the other hand.
• What multimedia universes (heroes, worlds, etc.) do media offer to their young readers / viewers / players?
• Under which conditions and with what knowledge of their audiences are children media contents created?
• How do media industries adapt their language to these specific audiences (use of stereotypes, presence or absence of certain topics, etc.)?
• What representations of the world and society do media convey to young children? In particular, what specific image of childhood and early childhood do they seek to spread?
• Do media contents offer a place for adults, and if so, which one (e.g. purchase or viewing justifications, opportunities of co-reception, etc.)?
• Do media change the way adults conceive childhood and behave with children?
The increasing presence and use of media (be they digital or not) in the different contexts of young children's everyday lives (at school, at home, in associations and communities…) point to several educational issues. Numerous studies have shown the interest, but also the difficulties, of implementing an education to and through media. Rather than seeking to erase the differences between these two approaches, this axis aims at rethinking their boundaries, to better understand their connections and synergies.
A first focus for such analyses focuses on the formal types of these educational practices (from "media education" as such to the introduction of innovative teaching practices through the media), or at least in those intentionally designed and developed by adults (teachers, parents, educators, etc.) with an educational goal. Schools are obvious venues for such initiatives, when they leverage media, as part of the vast array of informational, technical and social resources available today, to foster the acquisition of new knowledge and skills. But in this context, how should cultural industries that produce so-called "educational" content and resources be considered?
A second issue concentrates on the informal educational practices that pervade most of children's everyday learning experiences. These can be observed at home. Indeed, the family environment, which acts as an incubator of the child's most fundamental representations, actions and human relationships, is increasingly traversed by media systems. Such practices are also present in the actions of cultural associations and community organizations, which have long played an important role in child development, and in particular in their appropriation of media. Children themselves also sometimes find the opportunity to educate one another, in open-ended contexts, by developing creative media practices that make sense to them. As a result, the media have become ubiquitous in the children's socialization processes, which unfold throughout their development, experiences and everyday interactions. The encounters with peers or the role played by mediators in particular recreational contexts can then be analysed as opportunities to appropriate media and their ever increasing presence. If formal and informal learning need to be distinguished for analytical purposes, they are often combined, or, more accurately, overlaid, voluntarily or de facto, by the various institutional (schools, game libraries, media centers, childcare centers, etc.) and social (family, peer groups, etc.) spaces that call upon them. The study of media and media uses can only gain in relevance by deconstructing these interactions, in order to enrich and widen how these educational issues are investigated.
• What are, or should be, the modalities of formal and/or informal media education and education through media directed towards very young children?
• To what extent can the media support and foster learning, and to what degree of formalisation?
• What types of formal / informal knowledge and skills can the media provide young children with, for the media in general, and for those labelled "educational"?
• How do the media fit into the educational practices of families?
• How do cultural or recreational venues assign a specific role or place to the media in their projects, with or without a connection to their educational goals?
• Under what conditions can different actors (e.g. media producers, educators) contribute to the media education of young children? How do they succeed in involving families in a co-construction of informal educational practices?
For this conference, multidisciplinary and international approaches will be highly appreciated. In order to offer a powerful and critical look at these issues, a discussion will be engaged with professional actors of the media world and youth specialists.
Abstracts should be submitted by December 28th, 2015 in French or English (maximum 5,000 characters, including spaces, Times New Roman, font size 12, single spaced, 5 keywords, one title) to the address jeunesetmedias.events@gmail.com. All submissions will be double-blind evaluated by the scientific committee. Submissions as well as presentations at the conference may be given in English or French.
In the submission email, please provide the following information: first name, last name, email address, academic/professional status, university and research centre affiliation, title of the paper. Please send the paper proposal itself in an attached document in .doc format with your name (FirstnameLastName.doc). In the abstract, on the other hand, you are asked to respect anonymity, even if you are referring to some of your previous publications.
Selected papers will be grouped in an academic publication, the terms of which will be specified later.


Oklahoma school district boundaries are set by law. Within the district, there are boundaries set for four early childhood centers, 15 elementary schools, five middle schools, a freshman academy and a high school. Students are placed in schools according to attendance boundaries for each school. Exceptions require an approved intra-district transfer, which are granted only under certain conditions permitted by board policy 4170.
Broken Arrow Public Schools continues to experience growth at a rate of about 3 percent per year, with more than half of this growth taking place at the elementary level. Thankfully, Broken Arrow patrons continue to support our students by passing bond issues that support academic achievement through investments in instruction, technology and facilities.
On April 10, 2017, the Board of Education approved new boundaries for Pre-K through 12. Please click on the boundary maps below for more information.
