Ideas for new products can be obtained from basic research – Use the SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities & Threats). Market and consumer trends, company's R&D department, competitors, focus groups, sales & other employees, spies, trade shows, etc.. All these help determine how to work on new product lines and add product features.
Idea Generation or Brainstorming for new products/services/concepts – techniques like the 6 hats method can be applied later.
Before sharing ideas with outside parties, inventors should first look at protecting their ideas.
How will the product be produced most cost effectively & what will it cost to produce it – check with a reliable company specialised in product development.
Testing the Concept by asking prospective customers what they think of the idea.
Estimate sales volume based upon size of market and such tools.
Consider which option will work for you – licensing the product, partnerships or setting up your own business.
Work with companies like ODMasia to get your products listed on websites or at trade shows.
Logistics planning – see incoterms.
Resource plan publication – Budgeting.
Contingencies – Never forget Murphy's Law and plan around it….
We hope this information was useful and wish you best of luck with all new product development. The ODM Group is happy to assist on all steps of product development with our teams in Singapore, Hong Kong & China.

Amazing Week in Portugal
We had planned to spend more time in Portugal, but Queen Elizabeth II passed away a week before our trip and we decided to fly to London for the funeral. We had planned to go to London after visiting Porto and the Douro Valley, but we will have to come back to Portugal for that part of the trip.
We started our journey in Lisbon, where we picked up our rental car at the airport. Most of the cars they rent are station wagons, even if you booked a sedan. The car was nice, but it would have been too big if we had to drive it through the narrow roads of the Douro Valley as we had previously scheduled.
It only took a few minutes to drive from the airport to downtown Lisbon, where our hotel was located. We stayed at the Sheraton Lisbon which had a good central location and a parking garage.
The next day we first drove to the Tower of Belem and then visited the Jeronimos Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We had to wait a few minutes until the end of Sunday mass to visit the church of Santa Maria de Belem, located next door. Afterwards we took our car and parked next to the National Museum of Coaches, which we planned to visit next. When walking down the road we stopped by chance in front of the presidential palace. We took a couple of photos and heard that the president of Portugal, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, would be arriving soon at the palace. After a couple of minutes, the gate opened, the motorcade arrived and passed by us. The president's car stopped a few hundred yards away. He waved at us and we reciprocated. To our surprise, he started walking back in our direction. One of the security guards opened the gate and he started talking with us for a few minutes. That was one of the highlights of our trip.
During that afternoon we visited the National Museum of Royal Carriages, which is located in a new building. Afterwards we drove across the bridge to the National Sanctuary of Christ the King, a monument inspired from the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro. The view of Lisbon is worth the drive. On our way back we further visited the Old Town and spent time in the Baixa and Alfama districts. We had drinks at the Time Out Market, a concept created in 2014. It features 26 restaurants, 8 bars and 12 shops. That evening we had a great meal in an eclectic Thai restaurant named Boa-Bao.
We left Lisbon the next morning and drove the coast to Sintra. We stopped for lunch in Cascais, a fishing town which is now also a resort town. Afterwards, under a monsoon we attempted to visit Cabo da Roca, the most westerly point of mainland Europe. We were finally able to get out of the car and take a photo of the cape and the lighthouse. We ended the day in Estoril near Sintra and checked-in at our hotel for the next two nights, the beautiful Penha Longa Resort which is part of the Ritz Carlton portfolio. Besides the usual amenities, the property has a huge park, a monastery, a golf course and two Michelin-starred restaurants. We had dinner there both evenings and also enjoyed the breakfast buffet.
The next day was dedicated to the city of Sintra. We found a parking spot near the train station and hired a taxi to drive us up to the first castle, the National Palace of Pena. Private cars are not allowed to the palace. It was raining again and we missed some of the views, but the building is beautiful by itself. We took a taxi back to the city and we stopped at the Quinta da Regaleira, a Renaissance-style manor that is also classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The place is especially famous for its Initiation Well. We had lunch on the terrace of the Lawrence's Hotel. Established in 1764, it is the oldest hotel on the Iberian Peninsula. In the afternoon we visited the old town of Sintra and the National Palace.
We left Sintra the next morning after learning that our room in Obidos had been flooded and was unhabitable. We quickly found a room on the coast a few miles from Obidos at a property that turned out to be breathtaking, the Praia D'El Rey Marriott Golf & Beach Resort. We still made a stop in Obidos to visit the old town. On our way from Sintra we also stopped in Mafra to visit Palace and Monastery, which are UNESCO heritage sites. It has a stunning library. Before checking-in at the hotel that afternoon we drove to Nazare, one of the finest beach towns in Portugal, known for having some of the world largest waves.
Our next stop was in Coimbra. We made several stops on our way. We first visited the Monastery of Alcobaça founded in the 12th century by King Alfonso I. It is also an UNESCO World Heritage Site. Afterwards we visited another impressive UNESCO monastery in the city of Batalha on our way to the pilgrimage town of Fatima, where the Virgin Mary supposably appeared before three shepherd children in 1917. We had one more stop before we reached Coimbra, the Convent of Christ in Tomar. It belonged to the Order of the Templars and was founded in 1160 by Gualdim Pais, grand master of the Knights Templar. It is also a UNESCO site and we would definitely recommend making a stop there when visiting Portugal. It took less than an hour to drive to Coimbra where we stayed at the Quinta das Lágrimas Hotel. It was there that in the 14th-century Prince Pedro and Ines de Castro lived their forbidden love affair. Legend says that Ines cried there for the last time, while being pierced by the daggers of the killers sent by King Afonso, Pedro's father. Her tears that gave the name to this romantic hotel. We took a tour of the property and had a very nice dinner there.
We toured the city of Coimbra the next day. It is only a few minutes to drive from the hotel and we were lucky enough to find a parking spot in the Old Town. We took a taxi up to the University where the famous Joanine Library is located. It is considered as one of the most beautiful libraries in the world. Only a few people can visit it at a time, but it is worth the wait. Afterwards we visited the National Museum Machado de Castro and the Old Cathedral. We then drove to the city of Porto where our flight to London was leaving the next day. We had a few hours and we wandered around the Old Town, visiting the cathedral and the famous Lello bookstore. We walked down to the Douro River where the Port wine cellars are located. They have a lot of wonderful restaurants and bars on the banks of the river.
We had a great time in Portugal and we will definitely come back to further discover Porto and visit the Douro Valley.

Zamfara Assembly Abolishes Law Authorising Pension For Former Governors
Governor of Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle
The Zamfara House of Assembly on Tuesday repealed a law that allowed the payment of pension and other allowances for the state's former governors and their deputies.
Spokesperson of the state's assembly, Mustapha Jafaru, made this known in a statement issued to journalists.The law also affects former speakers of the House of Assembly and their deputies.
Presenting the bill before the House on Tuesday, House leader, Hon Faruk Musa Dosara urged his colleagues to, as a matter of urgency, consider the repeal of the law which provided jumbo pay for former political leaders in the state to the detriment of retired civil servants who have not been paid their entitlements over the years.
Seconding the motion at the chamber, Hon Tukur Jekada Birnin Tudu from Bakura Local Government Area said the abolition of the law was necessary.
After serious deliberations by House members, the Speaker, Hon Nasiru Mu'azu Magarya, ordered the Clerk of the House to give the bill first and second reading. The House then went for a committee of the whole meeting, after which the bill went for a third reading. The House then passed the bill into law which would be sent to the governor for assent.
"With this development, all past political leaders in Zamfara will no longer enjoy any entitlements unless those prescribed by the National Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission," Jafaru said.

Q: check whether 'hash key string' contains a word in perl I want to check whether a particular word is present in key of hash.
I tried in the following way:
while (($key, $value) = each(%hash))
{
   if( $key =~ /\b$some_word\b/ )
   {
      print"$key contains $some_word \n";
   }
}

My question is there any built-in function for the same or is there any alternate method?

A: use warnings;
use strict;

my %hash = (
    'foo' => 1,
    'foo bar' => 2,
    'bar' => 3,
    'food' => 4
);

my $some_word = "foo";

for (grep /\b\Q$some_word\E\b/, keys %hash)
{
    print "$_ contains $some_word (value: $hash{$_})\n"
}

Update: included value as well.
Update 2: Thanks, kenosis, for suggesting the quote-literal modifier (\Q...\E) which is usually a good idea when putting a variable into a regex. It ensures that nothing in the variable is interpreted as a regex metacharacter.

News DappRadar raises $2.3 million in seed funding, eyeing expansion
DappRadar raises $2.3 million in seed funding, eyeing expansion
By Bitnewsbot.com
DappRadar, a leading platform designed to monitor the use of decentralized applications (dapps), announced on Thursday that it has raised $2.3 million in a seed funding round led by Naspers Ventures, a global internet group and one of the largest organizations to invest in new technology.
Other investors taking part in the round include Angel Invest Berlin and Blockchain.com. Executives at DappRadar say the funds will be used to expand the company's services and build new functionality.
Jon Jordan, DappRadar's director of communications, told Decrypt that the company's primary goal is to provide the most accurate data about the dapp ecosystem and enable better discovery of dapps.
Decentralized applications "are important as they combine the attributes of their underlying blockchain so they enable trustless access to decentralized products, each of which can run their own unique economic system," Jordan said. "This could be anything from a collectible such as CryptoKitties, to more traditional games, decentralized finance apps such as generating loans, social networks, gambling, etc."
At the moment, DappRadar monitors more than 2,500 dapps across a half dozen blockchains, including EOS, TRON and Ethereum. Founded in Lithuania in early 2018 by Skirmantas Januskas and Dragos Dunica, the company is now planning to expand its services to other blockchains in the coming months. Among the tasks DappRadar undertakes include ridding false activity from participating networks and providing market intelligence.
More broadly, DappRadar examines dapp user activity—which includes transactions and token volumes—to see how these applications are being used and, in theory, help prevent fraud. It also provides ways for dapp developers to communicate with potential consumers to decide what services are needed the most and make decisions on which apps to build next.
According to Jordan, dapps are generally safer than any software one might find in a standard computer network. "Anyone can build a dapp on top of a blockchain, [and] dapps shouldn't directly impact the security of their underlying blockchains," he said. "All the smart contracts dapps use are open-source and can be audited, and the security risks they pose to users are arguably lower than those of traditional software."
The popularity of dapps has grown exponentially over the years, according to DappRadar, and so too have their benefits for users.
"What I think is the most interesting thing about this sector is the way dapps are gaining interoperability," said Jordan, especially in the gaming and decentralized finance industries. "It really is an incredibly dynamic space to be operating in," he said.

LISTEN: Jack White — Love Interruption
LISTEN / January 30, 2012
As all good White Stripes fans know, February 2 marks the anniversary of the talented twosome's retirement from the music industry (I know I'll be holed up in my room, crying silently while "Elephant" spins on my record player).
And yet, Jack White released a new solo single today called "Love Interruption." Be still my beating heart.
It's not a hard rocking jam, but rather a happy track full of acoustic guitars and chiming pianos. It also features vocals from a female singer on almost every lyric.
The digital version of the track will be released tonight, and there's also a 7" that will be released on February 7 along with a non-album track entitled "Machine Gun Silhouette."
"Love Interruption" will also be included White's upcoming solo album, "Blunderbuss," which is scheduled for release on April 23.
It's great to have you back, Jack.

Q: Migrate SQL Server backup to MySQL for a Wordpress site I have a client with an old .Net site that used SQL Server. For lots of reasons they decided to switch to Wordpress. They had a bunch of news articles on that old site that they want turned into posts or custom post types on their new Wordpress site (the standard post is probably easier?)
I reached out to their hosting company and got a .bak file of their database and through online research it seems that MySQL workbench is the best route to go as far as getting this file into a MySQL DB. This is where I'm getting stuck. I don't deal with databases a ton besides backing up Wordpress MySQL databases to move them during local to production development or changing url structures.
Do I need to upload this file to a server somewhere like my personal production site's server to make this migration happen?
My plan was copy the Wordpress site over to my localhost and migrate the SQL Server backup file to my local MAMP server somehow as a test to see if it works correctly. I see this question was sort've asked before but there wasn't a ton of dialogue on that so was hoping anyone with new ideas could help me out since I gave a little more context on my goal. I'm on a mac by the way.
There are 1745 articles with categories and subcategories that won't match the current configuration in the Wordpress database. I asked my server side engineer here at work and he said a possible option is to export the database to CSV and use a CSV to Wordpress plugin to import it. Does this sound like a possibly easier solution?

A: Good luck.  You'll need to do way more work than just a "restore".
Essentially, you'll need to create a custom pipe to convert the data in the SQL Server database into the table structure used by WordPress.
Even if the table structure was identical, and it isn't, you can't "restore" a .bak file into a MySQL database.  The .bak does not contain SQL statements; it is a binary representation, page by page, of the SQL Server database.
Presuming there aren't a huge number of articles, it is generally considered easier to manually transfer them into WordPress using the interface.  Welcome to the thrill of vendor lock-in.
If you have access to a SQL Server, you might try restoring the .bak file then exporting the desired data as SQL Statements using the "script database" facility.  You might then be able to do a transformation on the SQL Statements to make them "fit" the design of the WordPress database.  I'd be very skeptical that this would be easy, however at a certain point this will take less time than manually recreating the stories in WordPress.

A: The .bak file is a Microsoft SQL Server binary backup format. It cannot be used with MySQL - no matter even if you rename it to use another file name extension. A valid .sql file for MySQL is a plain text file with SQL statements supported by MySQL - refer MySQL documentation at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/sql-syntax.html.
To migrate data from SQL Server you will need to connect to it using ODBC. as mentioned here,

Mandate on Kashmir dispute
Posted date: December 28, 2012 In: Articles | comment : 0
Posted by Faheem Belharvi
According to the sources, the preparations to pay grant of Most Favored Nation status to India have been completed at the government level. Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf accorded approval to the strategic trade policy framework, which will be announced by commerce Minister Makhdum Amin Fahim after obtaining confirmation from entire cabinet, on Friday.
Reportedly, the grant of most favored nation status to India, agreed upon in principle, is likely to be delayed by a week or so, instead of December 31 it would be some time in the first week of January 2013 when it come into force.
Historically and on legitimate grounds, we have been opposed to developing commercial relations with New Delhi before it comes around to resolving the core issue of Kashmir in line with the aspirations of the people of the disputed state.
The favor of most favored nation would, it is a forgone conclusion, tend to further harden its already recalcitrant posture, not induce it to settle it, as argued by the proponents of trade with India.
Thus, the hope or the desire expressed by Mian Nawaz Sharif and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, when APHC chairman called on PML-N president in Lahore on Friday, that trade relations should not be allowed to impinge upon the Kashmiris right to self determination, is not likely to come true.
In fact, it is a patently facile hope, One wonders how they could expect the Indian leadership to change its stand when even now, with the prospect of getting the most favored nation status in sight – their longstanding wish – they insist on calling the disputed state 'atoot ang' of India, they are ready to hold negotiations on Kashmir only if it is about determining the final status of Azad Kashmir.
Besides, the most favored nation has come at a most inauspicious moment, when our industry, thanks to no long hours of load shedding is in utter ruin. That would facilitate the Indian goods to swamp our market, also because they are much cheaper and because the negative list is being pashed out. For these very reasons as well as the trade barriers that New Dehli has laid for our exports, Pakistani goods would not find much access to the Indian market.
Three wars have been done between Pakistan and India and the main dispute is Kashmir. Most of the lives of Kashmiris have been lost by the Indian army.
The government should pay attention to how trade is flowing, and its first effect on trade and industry. It should not be so anxious to flood its markets and thus destroy its industry. Simply drafting frameworks will not work, not unless there is hard work put in to ensure that the framework is more than just building castles in the air.
The people at large, apart from the commercial community that could stand to gain, are not in favor of the decision either.
It is strange that in the rush to normalize relations with the eastern neighbor our leaders are turning a blind eye to the singular importance of Kashmir to Pakistan. Apart from other factors like the Muslim majority state and the dispute being the leftover agenda of partition, Kashmir is vital to Pakistan's survival and that is becoming increasingly apparent with the uncontrolled diversion of our share of water by India for its own use. Would that the government has the sense to look before leaping into the abyss of dependence on India!(Sher Muhammad Khan)

Retrograde peri-implantitis (RPI) is defined as a clinically symptomatic periapical lesion that develops shortly after implant insertion while the coronal portion of the implant sustains a normal bone-to-implant interface. A 61-year-old male was screened and evaluated for three maxillary anterior implants placed 10 years previously. Evaluation included a thorough periodontal and dental exam, radiographs, and cone-beam computed tomography. Probing depths around all implants ranged from 2 to 4 mm with no bleeding on probing/mobility. The apices of implants #8 and #9 exhibited radiolucencies, and a draining fistula was associated with implant #8. Treatment consisted of sectioning and removal of the affected portion of the implants and collection of a specimen for histopathologic examination. Resection of the apical portion of implants is a viable treatment modality in the management of RPI.
The effect of the pure-phase beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) Cerasorb on bone regeneration was evaluated in hollow titanium cylinders implanted in the posterior jaws of five volunteers.
Dr. Gerard J. Lemongello describes the diagnostic and therpeutic components necessary to achieve predictable aesthetic results in implant therapy.
Dr. Michael Tischler describes the parts and techniques he routinely utilizes to simplify fixed implant therapy in his practice.
Dr. Maurice Salama discusses the utilization of imaging technology and virtual treatment planning to more effectively deliver predictable and efficacious implant therapy.

Alabama's Alexander Shunnarah billboard game replacing Punch Buggy on road trips

Gallery: Alexander Shunnarah Billboard Game and Memes
By Kelly Kazek | kkazek@al.com
After a long trip to the Alabama coast, do you fall asleep counting Alexander Shunnarah billboards in your head? If you've played the latest family road-trip game, you might.
It's a game similar to Punch Buggy, the license plate game or what my family called the ABC game (finding words on signs that begin with each letter of the alphabet in order). The billboard game is played like this: See which person in the car can count the most Alexander Shunnarah billboards. The person who spots one first, calls it, and then it can't be counted by anyone else.
And there are plenty to find. According to reporter Kent Faulk in a 2015 story on AL.com, Shunnarah has more than 2,000 billboards across Alabama. The Alabama-based attorney also has billboards in Georgia, Florida and other states. Shunnarah, 49, manages a team of lawyers who take on mostly personal injury cases. His was the only plaintiff's firm named in the top 5 on the Reporter's list of 2014 Most Prolific Trial Law Firms.
The first mention of the game I saw on Facebook dated to 2013 but the exact date of origin is unknown. Despite, or perhaps because of, the fact that many people seem annoyed by the number of billboards, the game's popularity is on the rise, if mentions on social media are any indication.
Current car ride game is pointing out all of the Alexander Shunnarah billboards and I'm pretty sure it's about 10364820137

Israel Crocker of Summerdale, Ala., suggested a new version of the game in a Facebook post: "New Game: Can you hold your breath between Alexander Shunnarah signs?"
Brannon Hill of Birmingham wanted to name the game: "Geez...I-65 from Montgomery all the way to the coast is like Alexander Shunnarah Land. If you get bored on a road trip, you can play a game like Slug Bug everytime you spot a sign of his. Call it Slug Leech...or Slugarah...or Shun Fun...I'll work on the name later. Just be careful while participating or you might cause a wreck and summon King Shunnarah."
Then there's the person who created an entire Facebook page devoted to Shunnarah billboards. See it here.

WHY IS WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE NECESSARY TO PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS?
Small and home-based businesses may find purchasing workers compensation insurance policy an extra cost to the company but in many ways, it is rather an affordable business decision and a mandatory one as well. It protects your business from being ceased by the state in case an employee sues you and also protects your company from many extra costs a medical emergency of an employee may incur upon the employer. Moreover, it is necessary to build a 'trust' relationship between the employee and the employer which is essential for a healthy work environment in the workplace and gives motivation to the employees to work even under stressful and harder conditions if their job calls for it. Every state provides an employee the right to sue the employer he has been associated with in case he/she is injured or falls ill due to his/her Job requirements. In such a case, the employer is liable to provide medical expenditures and replacement of wages the employee missed. Every state has a different policy regarding such a right and in case, a lawsuit has been filed the employer may also have to face the costs of hiring a lawyer and all other expenses of the lawsuit. Fine imposed by states policy and probably paying off extra medical coverage to the employee which the state law has also ruled out thereby incurring far greater costs to the business revenue contrary to the case. where a set limit of medical expenditures has been pre-decided between the employer and the employee regarding such a scenario and is hence paid in case of medical emergencies immediately. Some state policy may also stop the business from operating in such a case which would be a blow to the survival of business. Hence, a proper workers' compensation insurance policy saves any extra costs to the business and also gives an employee a mental satisfaction from his employer. For businesses that depend on its employee's assistance such workers' compensation insurance policy is necessary. Not only does it save the employers any extra costs as explained above but also builds a reputation for a responsible and considerate business strategy which wins the trust of its employees. Employees also find it much appreciating and convincing to provide their services to the businesses that offer them such coverage so as to protect them from unseen medical situations. Some workers' compensation insurance policies cover the medical care and replacement of wages and some even cover the expenses of the family of employees to some extent in the case of death of an employee due to his nature of the job. Workers compensation policy varies from state to state. In any case, this is an effective mandatory policy every business needs to provide to its employees and saves time and money for both the employee and the employer.
Over the years, PEOs (Professional Employer Organizations) have tremendously grown in popularity.
• The number of employees you have.
• The type of work your employees do.
Like all insurance, Workers' Comp is priced based on risk: riskier industries and jobs are more expensive to insure than less risky ones. To make sure prices are as fair as possible, they're determined by classification codes: each type of work has a unique code. For example; One way to save money on your Workman's Comp policy is to make sure you've classified every employee correctly. The secretary for a construction firm, for example, will have lower rates than the bricklayers.
Workers' Compensation Insurance is regulated by the states. This means that having Workers' Comp is a unifying thread for businesses with employees, it also means the cost of this coverage varies significantly from one state to another.

The Siren Call Of The Castaway
Posted on Monday, May 13, 2019 1:50AM Monday, May 13, 2019 by Thomas O'Dwyer

Title page from "The Real Robinson Crusoe". (1835).
The enigma of the castaway existed long before Robinson Crusoe was published 300 years ago in April 1719, but nothing had ever enthralled the growing reading public of his time like Daniel Defoe's now classic novel. And, thanks to Defoe, the curse of the desert-island cartoon remains with us – a circular sandbank, a palm tree, a ragged castaway. All that's required is for a New Yorker magazine funnyman to append an enigmatic or incomprehensible caption. The castaways too – sometimes called Robinsonades but don't encourage it – are still with us. Tom Hanks communes with a volleyball in a film named, yes, Cast Away, and Matt Damon goes one-up on him in The Martian by claiming to be "the first person to be alone on an entire planet." New movie variants on the theme have been released almost every year since the 1954 Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, Luis Buñuel's first colour film.
So who reads the original Robinson Crusoe today? This book has been called the first English novel, or imperialist propaganda, or a textbook of capitalism. Since the nineteenth century, it has been a children's book – more specifically, a boys' adventure book, sitting on the same shelf as Treasure Island. A cursory search of Amazon's statistics yields a surprise. Among many editions still on sale, the novel ranks number 358 in the Classic Action & Adventure genre, number 615 in Children's Classics, and number 202 in the Kindle store's Fiction Classics. Those are impressive rankings for an archaic seafaring tale that was first published 103 years after the death of William Shakespeare.
In academia, Robinson Crusoe has long been part of the debate on the origins of the first English novel. Of course, in Western literature, Don Quixote is the outstanding claimant, but Crusoe did set up the English narrative structure that authors have riffed on ever since. When Crusoe's ink supply runs out on the island, the author noticeably transitions from writing a journal to crafting a novel. John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress was published forty years before Crusoe and was probably the last fictional, albeit devotional, work approved of by the various churches. After Crusoe came the deluge – Moll Flanders, Fanny Hill, Tom Jones, Vanity Fair, and hundreds more. To hell with devotion. The novels teem with flawed and moral castaways who must find salvation within themselves, if ever.
Crusoe is at least the first realistic novel. No one can dispute its importance in the history of world literature or its durability in the popular cultural imagination. It is still surprisingly readable, with a captivating rhythm that is most apparent in some of the audio recordings that are now available. It is a story with a complex and compelling plot, high drama and an emotional impact. It introduced many techniques of novelistic realism – journal entries, descriptions of scenery, quotidian details and believable narratives of its characters' thinking. Before Defoe, the thoughts of such ordinary people as a sailor and a native American tribesman would not have been deemed worthy subjects for literature.
Of course, there are the jarring elements of the world three hundred years ago that a modern reader must glide past. There is slave trading, cannibalism, the invisibility of half the world's population. (Of his life after his rescue from the island, Crusoe tells us that he "married a woman." We know his parrot's name was Poll, but his wife didn't merit a name, much less a description). So the book is rife with the assumptions of its time and slavery is fine so long as you convert the savages to Christianity.
As the plot and his battles against adversity carry us along, it is easy to miss that fact that this Crusoe, whose name has been known around the world for 300 years, is a pretty dull fellow. Adventure seems to be his aim, but mediocrity and the accumulation of stuff is his practice. He refers again and again to his father's Goldilocks philosophy of life, which he admires. "My Father bid me observe it, and I should always find that the calamities of life were shared among the upper and lower classes of mankind; but that the middle station had the fewest disasters, and was not exposed to so many vicissitudes as the higher or lower part of mankind."
Daniel Defoe was nearly 60 when the novel was published and even he was amazed by its success. Four English editions rolled off the presses and translations into French German, Dutch and Russian followed. The full title of the first edition probably qualifies as flash fiction – a story in itself: The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, Of York, Mariner: Who lived Eight and Twenty Years, all alone in an Uninhabited Island on the Coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, wherein all the Men perished but himself. With An Account how he was at last as strangely deliver'd by Pyrates. Written by Himself.
At the heart of the novel is an intersection of three associated characters – Alexander Selkirk, Defoe and Crusoe. In a time of booming sea traffic and multiple shipwrecks, there were plenty of real-life castaway stories Defoe could have drawn on. The most likely was the experience of the Scottish sailor Alexander Selkirk, who spent four years on an uninhabited island in the Juan Fernandez atoll, off Chile. He asked to be put ashore there, after refusing to continue a voyage on a leaky ship. (The ship later sank). Selkirk, the son of a tanner, was unpleasant and quarrelsome from a young age. He eventually went to sea on a pirate ship that preyed on merchant vessels of England's enemy Spain.
Unlike Crusoe's island, Selkirk's was reasonably abundant and he survived at a basic level of existence, making no great effort to improve his situation. An English vessel rescued Selkirk in 1709 and, in 1712, members of the expedition which rescued him published his adventures in A Voyage to the South Sea and Round the World and A Cruising Voyage Around the World. His experience mellowed him and the captain who rescued him wrote: "One may see in him that solitude and retirement from the world is not such an insufferable state of life as most men imagine." The calm didn't last. Back in England, Selkirk was charged with assaulting a shipworker and was jailed for two years. He returned to a pirate ship and died of yellow fever off the west coast of Africa in 1721. He was buried at sea. In 1966, Chile renamed the Juan Fernandez island as Robinson Crusoe Island – somewhat confusing, since it was Selkirk who was marooned there. The fictional Crusoe was shipwrecked on an unnamed Caribbean island north of Venezuela.
The author Daniel Foe was the son of a London candle-maker. He was a lifelong hack, a hopeless entrepreneur, and a bankrupt. His failed schemes included selling marine insurance (during a war), breeding civet cats, collecting taxes on glass bottles and making tiles and bricks. He changed his name to Defoe to imply a higher social status. Mercantilism was the rising economic force in his time, generating a new spirit of capitalist individualism which is clearly reflected in his and Crusoe's characters. Defoe produced more than 600 journals, pamphlets and books under many pen names, and for years published The Review, a weekly journal. Robinson Crusoe was his outstanding success, and he capitalised on it with two follow-ups – in 1719, The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, and in 1720, Serious Reflections During the Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe.
He also had some success with two picaresque novels, Moll Flanders and Roxana, but he accumulated massive debts all his life and was often imprisoned for it before his death in 1731. Filtered through Defoe, there is a crucial difference between the real and fictional castaways. Selkirk was a buccaneer, ruthlessly looting and raiding coastal settlements. The economic philosophy of the Crusoe book is the opposite. Pirates raid, loot, rape and frequently drink themselves to death on their takings. Not Robinson – he's your capitalist imperialist; his world, even in miniature, is one of trade, exploitation and profit. He's the master of his own domain and Friday, the only other human he meets on the island, is told to call him "Master."
Now, what on earth has this fiction about a dull merchant stuck on an island got to do with 2019? In one of the masses of scribblings marking the book's anniversary, The Guardian's Charles Boyle wrote an article titled Robinson Crusoe at 300: Why it's time to let go of this colonial fairytale. He wrote: "Defoe's book has inspired novels, Hollywood movies and games – but the shipwrecked slave-trader should never have become a role model." But for whom is he a role model? Could it be the white male imperialist capitalist who demeans women and thinks people of colour are savages? Aha! Yes, let's ditch that one.
And yet, a digitized Robinson Crusoe is now wafting through the cloud. A Google search for the word "Crusoe" returns 18 million hits covering every imaginable topic far beyond books and movies. Now it is most often listed as a children's book. (Even in the nineteen century, women authors started to write stories of girl Crusoes for the sisters of the little imperialists). Over the years, almost any person of opinion has had something to say about the book and the academic papers would fill a warehouse.
Virginia Woolf said Robinson Crusoe was so ubiquitous that it was "one of the anonymous productions of the race rather than the effort of a single mind". The American comic writer Will Cuppy mocked Crusoe's supposed survival skills: "Most people, it seems, think that Robinson Crusoe when he landed on his island had nothing to keep him from starvation or anything else. As a matter of fact, he had twelve raft loads of supplies that he took off the wrecked ship. He had as much food and furniture as if he had had a delicatessen store and Fifth Avenue outside his hut."
Ah yes, sneered Carlos Fuentes, "Robinson Crusoe! The first capitalist hero, a self-made man who accepts objective reality and then fashions it to his needs through the work ethic, common sense, resilience, technology, and, if need be, racism and imperialism." Jean-Jacques Rousseau differed: "There exists one book, which, to my taste, furnishes the happiest treatise of natural education. What then is this marvelous book? Is it Aristotle? Is it Pliny, is it Buffon? No. It is Robinson Crusoe."
Perhaps the desert-island cartoonists will be the first to let us know when Crusoe's days are finally done, as The Guardian columnist suggested they should be. After all, they quietly killed off the white explorers stewing in cannibal cauldrons in Africa, and we haven't seen ragged figures crawling towards a desert mirage for some time. Now that we have satellite maps and GPS, have we not squeezed this castaway meme dry? William Shawn, who edited The New Yorker from 1952 to 1987, once banned desert-island cartoons. But they are still here and everywhere, now incorporating useless email messages in bottles ("You have no new mail"), surveillance cameras on the palm tree, and even bemoaning the lack of Wifi.
"I really feel like such a cliché." [Image: Breier]
Bob Mankoff, who retired as The New Yorker cartoon editor in 2017, told Vanity Fair in an interview some years ago that the desert-island cartoon definitely came out of desert-island literature – namely, Robinson Crusoe. "It's the classic thing of tragedy plus time equals comedy," Mankoff said. "In the 17th and 18th centuries, shipwrecks were common and people actually were stranded on desert islands. Originally the desert island in cartoons was quite large, and the ship is sinking in the background, so there was a narrative. You understood how they got on the island. Later, the island shrank to an icon, the tiny island with a single palm tree… But the genre keeps morphing, if you will, to change with the times."
Mankoff said the original cartoons portrayed isolation from the restrictions of society, especially the moral strictures of the time. "If a man and a woman were on the island in the 30s or 40s, the cartoon probably has sexual content. The woman might be asking the man, 'How can I be sure you're a millionaire?'"
Of course he's a millionaire; he's the final culmination of Crusoe capitalism.

Hips Don't Lie: 3 Drills To Nail The Hip Hinge
Sohee Lee
There's a lot of power stored up in your hips. Learn to harness it, and you'll enter a new world of strength and athleticism!
For both beginners and seasoned veterans, pulling more weight seems to be the ultimate goal. Unfortunately, it often comes at the expense of proper form. Look around in the gym, and you'll notice this with the deadlift as much as any other movement. It's easy enough to spot the person deadlifting wrong; just look for that guy with the dangerously rounded back that could snap clean in half at any minute. It hurts to watch.
It would be easy to tell him he's pulling too much weight, but that's almost never the whole problem. No, the real issue is that his hip hinge isn't solid enough to handle the weight he chose! The hip hinge is the fundamental movement pattern for the deadlift, as well as the kettlebell swing, Romanian deadlift, good morning, and explosive barbell movements like cleans and snatches.
If you're not performing the hip hinge correctly, you're not performing these movements correctly—and that means you're at risk for serious injury. Let me say this another way and make it absolutely clear:
You shouldn't do deadlifts, or cable pull-throughs, or good mornings, or even pick up heavy everyday objects, until you master the hip hinge.
Yeah, it's that important. I have tweaked my back a handful of times when I was being careless and didn't pay attention. But it's not an easy movement to master, and it's not one that many of us have the opportunity to learn or practice outside of the gym. So let's break it down to the basics.
What a Hip Hinge Isn't ///
Keep your chest up. Tuck that chin. Pull your shoulders back and down. Push the knees out when you pull. Squeeze the glutes at the top. Don't hyperextend. Look down. Sit back, sit back, sit back.
These are some of the more common coaching cues used when walking someone through a deadlift, whether trap bar, sumo, or conventional. Unfortunately, for most people it's not as simple as hearing the instructions and being able to following them, particularly with inexperienced gym-goers or teens going through their awkward gangly-limbs phase. Getting set up properly for a hip hinge is about as easy as tying a cherry stem into a knot with your tongue.
When I was interning at Cressey Performance, I was taking a high school baseball athlete through his first training session. Let's call him Bob. He was 17 years old, and he was uncoordinated. But he told me that he had lifted weights before, so I took that to mean he had experience with basic movement patterns. I had him stand inside the trap bar and instructed him to get into his starting position. He hunched over and grabbed the bars, his back as round as could be. Yikes.
I cued him to get his chest up, and he cranked his head up to look at the ceiling, severely hyperextending his cervical spine. "Like this?" Uh, not quite. I told him to flatten his back, and he bent his knees more. I took this as a glaring sign that the kid needed a little more practice with each individual cue. Still, I poked and prodded him until he eventually reached a proper setup.
From there, with 10-pound bumper plates on each side of the bar, I had him pull. Then I told him to reverse that exact same movement on the way back down, and again he hunched his back as he brought the weight to the floor. No bueno.
What did Bob do? It was supposed to be a deadlift, but it ended up looking like a hunched, bent-over kind of a squat, really. And it's common, probably because Bob was always told to "lift with your legs, not your back" while growing up. But let's be clear: A hip hinge is not a squat. Perfecting the hip hinge will help your squat, and vice versa, but the two movements are separate.
So What Is a Hip Hinge, Then? ///
The hip hinge is, in general, any flexion or extension originating at the hips that involves a posterior weight shift. With the hip hinge, you maintain a neutral spine and bend at the hips, not the low back. This pattern relieves stress off of the lumbar spine and can prevent a whole host of injuries. Just watch any toddler bend down to pick up an object and you will observe a perfect hip hinge. It's a shame we unlearn this movement pattern as we become adults.
There are a number of ways to go about learning this movement. The first option for most trainers is external cues. For example, "Imagine I've got a string tied to your tailbone. Now, if I pull that string back, what will happen? You'll break at the hips first, not the knees, as you sit your butt back."
This isn't a bad cue, but it's hard for some people to visualize. To make it more concrete, walk over to a wall. While you stand about three inches away from the wall, facing away, try to tap the wall with your butt. To do this, you have to stick your butt out and hinge at the hips. Once you've done this from three inches, step away from the wall another inch and repeat the same movement. Finally, step another inch forward and execute a full hip hinge.
You'll feel a nice stretch in your hamstrings and your knees should only have a soft bend in them. Voila! Hip hinge complete. But our lesson isn't.
The Dowel Drill ///
While I like the wall drill, it doesn't always work. Sometimes you think that you're going to tap the wall with your butt, but instead, you lean back with your whole body, thumping the wall with your entire back.
Luckily, there's another way to practice that gives more concrete prioperceptive feedback, one that guarantees you get to experience the tactile feel of a proper hip hinge. To perform this exercise, place a dowel along your back so there are three points of contact: the back of your head, the upper back, and the sacrum. From there, with your feet shoulder width apart and toes pointed slightly outward, sit back with the hips, all the while maintaining contact at the three points.
If you ever lose contact, you're doing the movement incorrectly and you should start over. The movement should look like this:
Dowel Hip Hinge Video
Watch The Video - 00:13
To start out with, perform 3 sets of 10 reps. Do it at home, at the gym between sets, or after a workout—whenever you can squeeze it in. It won't be long until you pick up the movement pattern, because the feedback is direct and unmistakable:
If it's not touching your tailbone, your spine is flexed, not neutral.
If it's not touching your upper back, you're squatting too much, or your head is tilted too far back.
If it's not touching your head, your spine is flexed or your head is tilted too far forward.
The Next Step … ///
Once you've got the dowel drill down—and I mean down—you can transition to a cable pull-through or trap-bar deadlift. By then, those deadlift cues from above will be far more approachable. But just because I'm nice, here's one more tip that I've seen work over and over again.
Keep the chin tucked, even at the bottom.
Many people have a habit of looking straight ahead as they deadlift. As they lower the bar, then, their neck cranks all the way up. The chin should be tucked throughout the entire range of motion, even at the bottom.
One way to combat this is the ball-under-the-chin method, in which a lacrosse ball, tennis ball, or baseball is placed under my chin. However, this can be distracting.
Instead, I advise you try biting the collar of your T-shirt. This serves as a constant passive reminder to keep your chin down, so it takes the thinking out of the equation. To help stay in this form, look at a single spot on the ground 4-5 feet in front of you at all times.
Learning The Hip Hinge—Chin Tuck Trick
Take the time to master the hip hinge, as it will spare your back over the long run and prevent needless trips to the doctor. You owe it to yourself to take care of your back for optimal health and performance in the gym.

Bloodletting
"For many centuries, blood-letting was considered a tried and true remedy for certain conditions. It was recommended for fevers, inflammations, a variety of disease conditions and, ironically, for hemorrhage." While this on-line exhibit from the UCLA Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library mainly features images from the Early Modern period, bloodletting was an important medical practice in the Middle Ages and so the information here might be of interest.

von Bahrska häcken heter en, trots namnet, relativt bred sträng av träd i stadsdelen Löten i Uppsala. Johan von Bahr (1860–1929), sedermera borgmästare i Uppsala,  lät skolbarn plantera denna trädgårdsanläggning år 1910 som skydd mot hårda vinterstormar. Ursprungligen planterades fyra trädslag: gran, tall, ek och björk. Vid tiden för planteringen utgjorde den en gräns för tätare bebyggelse mot öster. En gång- och cykelbana går innesluten i von Bahrska häcken. von Bahrska häcken är något avskuren av Tycho Hedéns väg som delar den i två delar. Innan vägen anlades nådde von Bahrska häcken fram till de villor som ligger vid Svartbäcksgatan.

von Bahrska häcken planterades 1910 och stadsfullmäktige försökte etablera en rad mer neutrala namn, Skogsbältet, Parkbältet osv. Namnet von Bahrska häcken var emellertid så etablerat i folkmun, att politikerna föll till föga och lät detta bli officiellt från 1965.

von Bahrska häckens träd inventerades 2009. Antalet träd som var större än 20 cm i stamdiameter uppgick till 1 555 stycken. Antalet trädarter var 13:

Tall 875 st (56,2 %)
Björk 314 st (20,2 %)
Gran 123 st (7,9 %)
Lönn 75 st (4,8 %)
Bok 38 st (2,4 %)
Rönn 37 st (2,4 %)
Alm 28 st (1,8 %)
Hägg 19 st (1,2 %)
Sälg 19 st (1,2 %)
Ask 14 st (0,9 %)
Lärk 11 st (0,7 %)
Asp 4 st (0,3 %)
Ek 1 st (0,1 %)

Situated within the Mountain Rainier National Park, Washington, the Golden Gate Loop Trail is a 4-mile loop trail with breathtaking and panoramic views of Mount Rainier and its green and lush terrain. Being a seasonal trail, it is best used from July to September and is primarily used for a variety of activities such as hiking, walking, running and nature trips. The Golden Gate Loop Trail is home to a variety of indigenous plants such as conifer trees and lupines. In addition to offering hikers breathtaking views of the glaciated Mount Rainier, the Golden Gate Loop Trail also offers excellent vistas of a waterfall and snowmelt streams. It is important for hikers to remember two things; dogs are not allowed on the trail and a National Park Fee is required to gain access to the trail. Hikers may obtain water from nearby streams; however, they should remember to treat the water first before drinking.

Q: .NET SHA256 Vs Object.GetHashCode() What are the pros/cons when it comes to using SHA256 Vs Object.GetHashCode()?
In the code below, the output is identical for both methods, however the GetHashCode() seems a lot simpler, requires fewer objects/code.
class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            TestGetHashCode();
            TestSha256();
            Console.Read();
        }

        static void TestSha256()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Testing SHA256");
            UnicodeEncoding byteConverter = new UnicodeEncoding();
            SHA256 sha256 = SHA256.Create();
            string data = "A paragraph of text";
            byte[] hashA = sha256.ComputeHash(byteConverter.GetBytes(data));
            data = "A paragraph of changed text";
            byte[] hashB = sha256.ComputeHash(byteConverter.GetBytes(data));
            data = "A paragraph of text";
            byte[] hashC = sha256.ComputeHash(byteConverter.GetBytes(data));
            Console.WriteLine(hashA.SequenceEqual(hashB)); // Displays: false
            Console.WriteLine(hashA.SequenceEqual(hashC)); // Displays: true
        }

        static void TestGetHashCode()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Testing Object.GetHashCode()");
            string data = "A paragraph of text";
            int hashA = data.GetHashCode();
            data = "A paragraph of changed text";
            int hashB = data.GetHashCode();
            data = "A paragraph of text";
            int hashC = data.GetHashCode();
            Console.WriteLine(hashA.Equals(hashB)); // Displays: false
            Console.WriteLine(hashA.Equals(hashC)); // Displays: true
        }
    }

A: You cannot compare the two as they are built for two entirely different purposes.
What is your goal? - Encryption or simple object lookup?
For object lookup (in a hashtable): GetHashCode()
For encryption: SHA256 combined with e.g. AES.
GetHashCode() should be overridden for your type and ideally only use immutable fields, ie. fields not changing over the lifetime of the object, read-only fields is a good example of this ;-)
SHA256 is used for example to hash a password for usage in an encryption algorithm that takes 256-bit keys. The point of a hashing algorithm used for encryption is that it must be slow (the opposite of the object lookup scenario) to make it more difficult to bruteforce attack passwords.
So no pros/cons as such, but really depends on your goal. Use the right tool for the purpose :-)

Pro Cycling - Tour de France
Name Decals and Teams
Argentius
All pro teams' bikes have name decals to connect bike and rider.
What do the decals say about the team?
Note Gerolsteiner's Hoj -- http://www.cyclingnews.com/photos/2006/apr06/roubaix06/index.php?id=roubaix_bikes3/IMG_0066 -- it could've been made with a $30 label maker.
Hoste's is much fancier -- little Belgian flag and all -- and it appears to be under the clearcoat.
I know, this doesn't really matter, but I'm amused at the level of attention (or lack of it) that different teams pay to this detail.
· Self-Banned
Argentius said:
The cheap label that reads Hoj F. looks cool to me in some odd way. It's kind of minimal, kind of Hi/Lo punk rock and it's banality ironically makes it charming in a peculiar way. It reminds of the white illuminated sign that said "home" out front a house in scene from A Clockwork Orange.

It says that it makes it a lot easier for the mechanics and the riders to know whose bike they're working on, and or riding. Doesn't matter how fancy they are, it is just for identification.

Suspicious Looking Apple is a pet-summoning item exclusive to the Mobile Version. It is dropped by the Eater of Worlds, Devourer and Giant Worm. It summons a Pet Worm.
In spite of its name containing "Suspicious Looking", this item spawns a pet rather than a boss.
If the worm buff is active and the player dies, a unique tombstone drops.
The summoned Pet Worm is a reference to the game series Worms.
There is a hole in the bottom right corner of the apple which is the reason why it is "Suspicious Looking", based on the fact that worms eat apples by tunneling into the fruit.
"Boring!" - when standing still too long.
"Bye bye!" - when player dies.
"Grenade!" - when throwing an explosive, such as a Grenade .

Democrat Senator, Mazie Hirono, Blames Men for Sexual Assault and Puts the Burden of Proof on the Accused
September 25, 2018 Fox News Freedom 2
Senator Mazie Hirono, Youtube
Senator Mazie Hirono, a supporter of Christine Blasey Ford, the accuser of Judge Kavanaugh, says that American men need to "shut up and step up." She says that women like Dr. Ford need to be heard and believed. Tucker Carlson calls her out on her presumption that all men are guilty and all women should be believed even without evidence or due process. Tucker closes the segment saying that Republicans could stop the assaults on Kavanaugh's character and demand a vote, but they don't do it because they just don't care about the American people. -GEG
Tucker Carlson said Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono has become a left-wing "folk hero" for inventing a new system of justice in the United States, where men are presumed guilty and the accused must prove their innocence.
Carlson also ripped Senate Republicans, saying their actions show they "don't care about you," the citizen.
Hirono threw her support behind Christine Blasey Ford, who accused Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, allegedly during a Maryland party in 1982.
Speaking at a press availability last week, she told American men to "shut up and step up."
"Not only do women like Dr. Ford, who bravely comes forward, need to be heard — but they need to be believed," Hirono said.
Carlson "translated" Hirono's rhetoric as "all men are guilty, not because they've been proven guilty, but because they are men… they are inherently guilty."
He said that under Hirono and the Democrats' new justice system, a person is preordained to be innocent or guilty based on birth.
"All women are to be believed… Evidence is irrelevant," Carlson said.
Hirono, who faces Republican engineer Ron Curtis in November's election, said Kavanaugh has been judged negatively in what she called a "court of credibility."
"Look, we're not in a court of law. We're actually in a court of credibility at this point. And, without having the FBI report or some semblance of trying to get corroboration we are left with the credibility of the two witnesses," Hirono told MSNBC.

The high efficiency of these systems helps them pay for themselves by slashing electrical costs. Strong, quiet and efficient DC motors are used both indoors and outdoors. High performance fan blades, condensers and evaporators combined with variable speed inverter-driven compressors makes for unmatched performance. Variable speed compressors automatically adjust to fluctuating room capacity requirements.
Since mini-splits have little-to-no ducting, they forego those energy losses typically associated to central forced-air systems. Duct losses can easily account for more than 30% of energy consumption, especially if the ducts are not sealed tight or in an unconditioned space such as an attic or crawlspace. With ratings as high as 19-SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio), systems are among the highest rated efficiency equipment available anywhere!

Have your say: Should Harry and Meghan lose their royal titles?
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex
Ellen Manning
25 September 2020, 3:13 am ·2-min read
English journalist and television host
A new survey has revealed the percentage of Britons who think the Duke and Duchess of Sussex should be stripped of their royal titles.
The results of the survey for Tatler magazine, which was conducted last month, come as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle came under fire from critics for commenting on the US election.
The couple are now facing calls for their royal titles to be removed, with Piers Morgan among those to call for the move, branding Meghan's comments "brazenly partisan".
The couple took part in a video as part of Time 100 - a list compiled by Time magazine to celebrate the world's most influential people - in which they urged Americans to vote.
In the video Harry has urged US citizens to "reject hate speech" and vote in the country's upcoming presidential election.
Many saw the couple's comments as critical of President Trump, though their spokesperson said they did not refer to any specific political party or candidate, but were instead "a call for decency".

Meghan also spoke out at an online When All Women Vote event, claiming that those who do not vote would be "complicit", warning "we all know what's at stake this year".
According to the Tatler survey, the majority of respondents believed Meghan should not be commenting on US politics.
The data, collected by research consultancy Savanta Comres, polled 4,174 British adults, only taking results from those who expressed an opinion when questioned.
It found 68% agreed Harry and Meghan should have their titles as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex taken from them after stepping down as working royals and moving to the US.
A total of 63% agreed that Meghan should not be commenting on US politics despite the fact she's American, while 35% agreed that the duchess "wants to be president of the United States one day".
The full results are contained in the November issue of Tatler, available on newsstands and via digital download next Thursday: https://www.tatler.com/article/meghan-markle-november-2020-cover
