Dion goes live with 'AlphaClick' solution for private equity and venture capital firms
Dion Global Solutions (Dion) (BSE: 526927), technology partner to the financial services industry, has launched a new technology solution, AlphaClick, which enhances portfolio monitoring for private equity and venture capital firms.
AlphaClick streamlines the collection and analysis of portfolio company data, enabling fund managers to meet increased transparency and reporting requirements. Dion has deployed the solution at RTP Ventures, a US-based venture capital firm specialising in investing into software companies.
AlphaClick transforms the way firms analyse portfolio company data, automatically turning raw investee information into actionable insights. This dramatically reduces time spent on collecting, processing and analysing data, and simplifies and improves reporting and decision-making. Experienced financial analysts support the automated validation and standardisation;ensuring fund managers have access to the highest quality data. Deviations between targeted and actual performance are highlighted by comparing portfolio performance across reporting cycles on an 'as-reported' and standardised basis with dynamic analytics tools such as waterfall charts etc.
"AlphaClick enables us to track and analyse portfolio company data at both a granular and rolled-up level of detail on a like-for-like basis, which is critical to decision-making. Once the data is centrally located AlphaClick also becomes an integral platform for reporting as well," said Steve Berg, Senior Analyst at RTP Ventures. Anurag Garg, President, Financial Research & Information, Dion said: "We wanted to take the headache out of data management for private equity and venture capital firms. In other parts of financial services, technology exists to trade in less than a millisecond and make payments from your smartphone wherever you are in the world. However, private equity and venture capital firms are still relying on manual processes to retrieve and Dion Global Solutions manipulate vital information. This provides clients with the ability and confidence to access the technology they deserve and need for their business."
AlphaClick, is available on a Software as a Service ('SaaS') basis hosted in the cloud. It was developed using HTML5 and is compatible with all browsers and platforms.

Scorsese's Next Invention
On Film / Short Takes — Jan 22, 2010
Following in the triumphant recent footsteps of Wes Anderson and Spike Jonze, Martin Scorsese is, according to reports in Variety and the Guardian, likely turning to children's literature for his next movie. And we're big fans of the source material: author-illustrator Brian Selznick's fanciful Caldecott Medal–winning The Invention of Hugo Cabret, a dazzlingly drawn, 550-page (!) storybook about a young orphan's relationship with the mysterious Georges Meliès in turn-of-the-century Paris. Its combination of fantasy and film history should certainly make for a nice fit with movie-mad Scorsese. Incidentally, Selznick wrote a lovely appreciation for Criterion of another magical child's-eye view of Paris: The Red Balloon.

Here at Money That Counts We like analyzing people that are great with money. Naturally, we wanted to do a post on Mark Cuban. I mean, he is a billionaire. Everyone knows who he is, he owns the Dallas Mavericks and is one of the infamous "Sharks" on the tv show Shark Tank, where he has invested in companies like Simple Sugars and Ten Thirty One Productions.
I've always thought of him as the cool shark, and figure he has some advice worth listening to. He recently made a video with Vanity Fair and gave his top 9 tips to getting a little richer.
Check below the video for our infographic and let us know what you think?
Invest in the cheapest index fund that matches the market.
If you haven't started investing yet you can open an account with an investment bank or download an app like Stash and start now with just $5.
I've made an effort to try to negotiate when possible. Even just asking for a discount at fast food restaurants or the hardware store have gotten me coupons and discounts I didn't know were available.
I shop at Costco about once a month and get cheap foods like freezer burritos and huge amounts of paper towels and toilet paper. If you know you're going to use it, you may as well buy in mass quantity to save some cash.
Amazon is great too, sometimes even better than Costco.
This deal is less than $1 per roll!

Crossword Solution
Maria 'Jake' Legault
JAKE LEGAULT
Maria Elena "Jake" Jacobson Legault, 76, of Thompson Falls, passed away August 24, 2020, at her home after a brief battle with brain cancer.
Jake was born in Kellogg, Idaho, September 30, 1943, to Roy and Lois Jacobson. She didn't like her first name and her friends nicknamed her Jake in high school. She graduated from Kellogg High School in 1962.
Jake met Ron Legault at an Eagles dance in Wallace. They were married December 21, 1963, in Osburn, Idaho. They welcomed daughter Elena in 1964 and son Bob in 1967. In Idaho, Jake was crowned the Snowmobile Queen in 1968 by the Wallace snowmobile club. Ron and Jake would adventure into the mountains, going camping, fishing and horseback riding.
Jake worked at the drug store in Wallace and then the Sears Catalog Store. Ron worked as a miner. Jake bought the Thompson Falls Sears store in 1973 and the family moved to Montana. Ron switched to logging when the Legaults moved to Montana. Jake ran the Sears store for about 10 years before selling it.
The family lived at the Birdland Bay trailer court before building their home west of Thompson Falls in 1979. Jake was a proud supporter of the Blue Hawks and kept score and helped Dick Browne coach the Lady Hawk softball team. She and Judy (Wakefield) Leufkens would race to games and she got so many speeding tickets in her big blue Monte Carlo with the swivel seats that she lost her driver's license for a time. Families would go to softball tournaments and stay at Flathead Lake together when Elena was in high school.
Jake loved to bowl, first at Thompson River Ranch and then at the Rimrock. She worked with Rimrock owner John Lawrence to design the bowling alley and worked as manager, an accomplishment she was very proud of. She bowled in several leagues and competed at the state and national level for many years. She was inducted in the local hall of fame in 2002 and was bowler of the year in 1995. She enjoyed traveling with her friends and Ron to places such as Las Vegas and Reno.
The outdoor adventures continued when Ron and Jake's kids were gone. They logged lots of miles on the roads and waterways as they fished all over the northwest, making many trips to Lake Koocanusa, Westport, Washington, or the Helena area.
Jake bartended just about everywhere in Thompson Falls, including Ferk's (now the HighLead), the Black Bear and the Rimrock. She also worked in the Sanders County Clerk and Recorder's office before taking a job at Thompson River Lumber. She was in charge of TRL's scales for 10 years and retired from the mill in 2008.
Jake loved to play games. She always had a puzzle going in the winter and would play cards, cribbage and dominoes for hours. Ron called her the Pinochle queen of Thompson Falls. She was a regular at the Thompson Falls Senior Center games and with the Trout Creek Pinochle group. Everyone always said Jake was a kick in the butt. She was very respected and loved and everyone enjoyed being around her.
Jake was a straight shooter. She called it as it was and didn't sugar coat things, but she had a heart of gold. She loved her family and enjoyed having her granddaughters visit in the summers, taking them boating and swimming.
Jake was preceded in death by her parents, brother Sonny and sister Tina Marie. She is survived by her husband Ron and son Bob (Toni), all of Thompson Falls; daughter Elena (Chuck) Friesz of Forks, Washington; granddaughter Halie (John) Fletcher and great-granddaughter Harper of Forks; granddaughter Miranda (Nate) Gimlin of Tacoma, Washington; siblings Skip, Teri, Lee, Chris and Beth Ann; many nieces and nephews; and many, many friends who were like family to her.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Jake's name to Clark Fork Valley Hospital Hospice or Cancer Network of Sanders County. No services will be held at this time.

Aerial WalkwayArboretumBenchIn the treesLooks a bit like a boatNational ArboretumWestonbirtWhere did all the people go?
Westonbirt is currently displaying its usual Autumn finery. However, my visit there last week also revealed some fine examples of fungi. I was particularly struck by the mini toadstools peeping through the more mature ones.
I'm sure they've heard that joke many times before, but I simply couldn't resist. Seen at The Festival of the Tree at Westonbirt Arboretum on Saturday.
My niece's quiz sheet asked what the colour of these buds are. We couldn't quite decide – how about you?


Is it me or does it seem that most vendors in the LMS/LCMS market still believe that with some smoke and mirrors, you won't realize that social media actually must be integrated into social learning for it to exist? Or do they just drop the word, "social media", and rather say, "social learning and web 2.0"?
After all, many have a blog, wiki, RSS feed, a Facebook like page, with profile, inc. an image, friends can connect and see comments – sort of like a Twitter and the end user can tweet within the LMS". See, it is social learning. Not!!!
Web 2.0 is still being hyped in the market, as the upcoming Web 2.0 expo clearly shows and some argue that social media grew up within the web 2.0 process.
Nevertheless, social media has overtaken its Web 2.0 buzz, now standing and expanding on its own. The expo? Features social media solutions. When people scour the job markets, employers post seeking social media experts. Social media covers over 15 categories and grows as more offerings slide in there. With APIs and mashups, who knows where it can go.
Can one exist without another? The answer is no. Social Learning = Learning, Collaboration & Communication. To achieve this and move forward, social media must be integrated into the platform or mechanism.
I often see vendors in the e-learning space that believe that social learning is similar to what I listed at the beginning of this article. While some vendors in the LMS/LCMS space will argue that they offer similar "real life" social media offerings in their solution, the key here is "similar".
Real life social media, is just that – real time, real life. Open sharing of information, collaboration and communication. Does this exist in your system? Can you tweet in real time in your LMS and people outside of your system see your tweet? Then, people outside of the LMS tweet and you (as the end user) can see the tweet in real time in the LMS? This goes beyond just your "friends" within the system, and extends to the outside real world.
I know of only one LMS that does this, just one. The others who offer the "similar", offer just that "similar", but not the full open sharing of information. A counter argument for not offering the "real life" experience is the fear or someone saying something, or security issues, but for most companies, it is really the former. After all, if you are enabling your employees to read their internet emails, surf the web or even Tweet during company time, security is not the concern.
One vendor created a "filter" system so the administrator would type in words that were unacceptable, thus when the end user typed them, in real time, they appeared as *** or not at all. Sadly, they do not offer it as an open sharing of information – internal to external system, rather just for end users in the LMS, when writing on a blog, wiki, etc. At least it is a start.
A filter system could be created tied to any open sharing of information – internal LMS to real world and back again and work.
End users want the ability to open only one window and have everything contained within it. If you could have your real time Twitter, Linkedin feeds, Facebook and some other social media capability, and your end user did not have to open any other screens, what is the likelihood, that your system would increase in sales?
While it has been around for awhile, you are really starting to see traction on it. You sign up an account online, select some options, and you are able to see where your friends are in real time on a map or as it says "location".
Download the solution's app to your smart phone or tablet, and now on the go – you can see in real time where all your friends are located (those who signed up for the service). The social media solution utilizes your built in GPS with your smart phone, tablet or ties it into your IP address via your laptop, netbook, etc, regardless if you are at home or in the coffee shop.
I want the ultimate learning experience, so not only do I want to select and have friends follow me within my LMS and chat with them or have them read my feeds, but I want to know where they are and vice versa, so if we want to meet up we can. We want to take that next level of collaboration and communication. We wish to expand on another social media form – "events" – see meetup.com as an example; and intertwine them.
So, what can we do? Add geolocating as part of our social learning services. Now, I want an even greater experience, so I will add a virtual world.
Toss in scheduled webinars, real time livecasting, real time video streaming, avatars that have the face image of your end user and not Sigmund the Sea Monster, communicate in real time – with mini video screens between learners – beyond just texting, and while you are at it… track it..everything, full analytical data. Yeah, you can toss in e-commerce, APIs, Mashups, and add any social media you can think of – slideshare presentations? You bet. App Sharing? Simple.
How far are we away from such a real world application? Not that far away, especially as technology, access speed (for the end user) and the on-going growth of social learning continues. 5 years? Easily.
Your LMS is your hub, a virtual learning community truly exists – to/from your LMS. Eliminating a piece here or there and a patchwork of odds and ends.
It would require a lot of capabilities in one solution to tap into various learners' tastes, wants and companies training goals; something LMS/LCMS vendors always seem to be one step behind. It would be something someone hasn't seen before, which for most vendors is unacceptable, but it could be done. Now where did I put my Ipad?

Jack Dorsey defended Twitter's decision to allow Alex Jones to keep tweeting after Apple, Facebook, and YouTube all banned the Infowars presenter.
Dorsey took a thinly veiled swipe at Facebook and YouTube, which only acted after Apple removed Jones, by saying that Twitter does not "simply react to outside pressure."
Dorsey's decision has not gone down well with some, however, with Reddit's former CEO suggesting it could lead to Twitter's demise.
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has tweet-stormed his reasons for not banishing renowned conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, and in doing so, took a not-so-subtle swipe at Facebook and YouTube.
In a thread of five tweets, Dorsey said Jones did not break Twitter rules and so the company decided against blocking him after Apple, Facebook, and YouTube all shut down the Infowars presenter on Monday.
In a tick-tock on the events of Monday, CNN's Dylan Byers revealed that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg personally stepped in to remove four of Jones' pages. He did this only after learning of Apple's decision, Byers said, which is why Facebook announced its decision at 3 a.m. Pacific Time. YouTube and Spotify reacted similarly.
"If we succumb and simply react to outside pressure, rather than straightforward principles we enforce (and evolve) impartially regardless of political viewpoints, we become a service that's constructed by our personal views that can swing in any direction," Dorsey tweeted. "That's not us."
Dorsey then went on to say that it is the job of reporters to shoot down the false assertions made by Jones. He explained: "Accounts like Jones' can often sensationalize issues and spread unsubstantiated rumors, so it's critical journalists document, validate, and refute such information directly so people can form their own opinions."
As BuzzFeed's Charlie Warzel points out, Jones does use Twitter differently to other social media sites, choosing to be less inflammatory. "He's much more careful with what he posts," Warzel said. But this hasn't shielded Twitter from criticism following its decision to allow Jones a platform.
A notable detractor is former Reddit CEO Ellen Pao, who suggested it could lead to Twitter's demise. In a tweet directed at Dorsey, she said: "Your platform does not operate in a vacuum. We tried treating @reddit as a silo, and it was a huge mistake. People got harassed cross-platform. Also if your site is the only one that allows this hate and harassment, it will get overrun and collapse."

KIEV, Ukraine -- Head of the Department of Foreign Affairs of Switzerland Didier Burkhalter talked about the visa-free regime in a meeting with President Petro Poroshenko, in Kiev.
Switzerland will introduce visa-free regime for Ukrainian citizens on June 11.
"The Head of the Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed that his country will introduce visa-free regime for Ukrainian citizens on June 11," reads the report.
President Poroshenko, in turn, informed on the impact of the ongoing aggression of Russia in Donbass targeted mainly against residential areas and civilian areas objects.
"The Head of State noted the efforts of Switzerland aimed to settle the situation in Donbass, particularly its significant contribution to the OSCE SMM activities. He thanked Didier Burkhalter for visiting Mariupol in the course of which another humanitarian cargo of medicines and water-filtering reagents was delivered," reads the report.

Q: Jython How to Use Standalone JAR? I am trying to use the Jython PythonInterpreter class, but am struggling a bit.
Due to physical limitations, my scenario lacks any sort of project structure. I simply have a Jython JAR file and a Java file.
I am currently compiling my Java code like so:
javac -cp "jython-standalone-2.7.0.jar" test.java

This command does not fail.
When I try to run the compiled Java, I get this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/python/util/PythonInterpreter
        at test.main(test.java:9)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.python.util.PythonInterpreter

        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:357)
        ... 1 more

The code looks like so:
import org.python.util.PythonInterpreter;

class test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        PythonInterpreter interpreter = new PythonInterpreter();
    }
}

The code is very simple. Should I be importing the Jython classes a different way? Does my method here have any chance of working?
Thanks

A: How do you run the command?
You will also need to set the CLASSPATH.

La pasta alla Norma (in dialetto siciliano a pasta cu sucu di mulinciani, pasta ca sassa e mulinciani  o pasta câ Norma) è un piatto dai sapori tipicamente mediterranei a base di pasta, solitamente maccheroni, condita con pomodoro e con l'aggiunta successiva di melanzane fritte, ricotta salata e basilico.

Origine
La ricetta è attribuita alla città di Catania, tant'è che è il piatto simbolo della cucina catanese, sebbene numerose varianti della pasta al sugo preparata con le melanzane erano certamente già diffuse in tutto il meridione prima della nascita ufficiale del piatto catanese.

L'origine della dedica alla Norma, che sembra un esplicito riferimento all'omonima opera di Vincenzo Bellini più che a una generica "norma" nel senso di una preparazione fatta "a puntino", non è certa. Sono almeno due le versioni della storia di questo piatto ritenute più plausibili ma non esistono testimonianze dirette e univoche.  Secondo alcuni a dare il nome alla ricetta sarebbe stato il commediografo siciliano Nino Martoglio che davanti ad un piatto di pasta così condito avrebbe esclamato "È una Norma!", ad indicarne la suprema bontà e paragonandola alla celebre opera di Vincenzo Bellini nonostante fossero passati parecchi decenni dalla creazione della stessa.

Secondo altri, a maggior giustificazione della dedica, la ricetta sarebbe stata perfezionata, reinterpretata e messa a punto sulla base della cucina tradizionale da uno chef siciliano proprio in occasione delle celebrazioni per la nuova opera lirica del grande compositore catanese, destinata a diventare in breve tempo una dei suoi maggiori successi nonostante una prima alla Scala di Milano travagliata e tutt'altro che incoraggiante; forse in uno dei tanti ricevimenti a cui fu presente lo stesso Bellini nella sua terra natia visto che è da sempre prassi abbastanza consolidata da parte di chef di grido e organizzatori di eventi omaggiare degli ospiti d'onore illustri con piatti creati ad hoc.

In Sicilia, è molto diffusa anche la pizza alla Norma, con gli stessi ingredienti del condimento della pasta.

A questo piatto della tradizione catanese e siciliana è stata dedicata anche una "Giornata Nazionale della Pasta alla Norma", che cade il 23 settembre.

Adelino da Palma Carlos (Faro, Portugal, 3 de marzo de 1905-Lisboa, 25 de octubre de 1992) fue primer ministro del primer gobierno provisorio de Portugal (de 17 de mayo a 18 de julio de 1974).

António de Spínola recurrió a este prestigioso abogado para que formara el primer gobierno de Portugal tras la Revolución de los Claveles. Con buenos conocimientos económicos y con la simpatía de los progresistas, tenía el perfil necesario para garantizar la respetabilidad del nuevo gobierno en los medios conservadores e internacionales. Pero una coyuntura política en la que la balanza de relación de fuerzas se inclinaba dedidamente a la izquierda, no hizo que el gobierno fuera tarea fácil. Al igual que Spínola, que era su apoyo fundamental, tuvo muchos problemas con el MFA. En vano procuró el presidente de la república crear una fuerte corriente nacional y militar que reconfortase su posición política, a través de apelamientos al buen pueblo portugués. El propio Consejo de Estado recusaría sus propuestas, de concentración de poder en las instancias presidencial y gubernamental a través de un referéndum constitucional. En consecuencia, Palma Carlos pedirá su dimisión.

Honour boards written in gold leaf are the ultimate type of honour board; they ooze old world charm and character that cannot be mimicked by any other material. An honour board that is written in gold leaf will ensure that a sense of importance and quality are associated with the privilege of having your name on an honour board or honour roll.
The gold leaf lettering that is used on honour boards consists of 24 carat pure gold. Gold leaf or gilding (as it is often known) is by far the best method of letter application, albeit the most expensive. An honour board or honour roll that has gilt letters, headings or logos, will last for centuries.
With the advent of modern technology, gilding has become a dying art, and unfortunately there are not many signwriters or other tradesmen who are skilled in this art or have even been exposed to it. Therefore it is important when selecting a tradesman to gild your sign that you obtain a list of their credentials and a list of works that they have completed that you can view. Our family has been gilding honour boards and various other signs for over a century and Neil is a very skilled gilder and will be able to provide any gilded sign or honour board with that handmade quality that can only be achieved by old school technical work.
The gold leaf comes in two types: transfer leaf, or loose leaf. Both types of gold leaf are used, although they have different applications. Transfer leaf produces a matt finish and loose leaf produces a bright gild i.e. looks like a mirror. It is usual to use transfer leaf (i.e. a matt finish) on honour boards. After the honour board has been produced (how to manufacture an honour board), if you are starting a new board, or if it has been dusted down and prepared, the lettering to be gilded is marked out lightly in Omnichrome pencil. Precipitated chalk or talcum powder is then applied over the surface of the board. This ensures that the gold leaf doesn't stick to the background. The lettering or object to be gilded is then has gold size applied to it by brush. Once the gold size tacks off you can then press the transfer gold leaf onto the gold size. The wording that has had the gold leaf applied to is then burnished off with cotton wool. After the desired areas are burnished and cleaned up you then add your outlines or shades and the honour board. Your honour board is now complete and it will guarantee to immortalise those fortunate enough to be listed on the honour roll for decades to come.

She was beautiful, kind, intelligent, and completely committed to you. This was the girl who would do anything just to be by your side and make you happy. Even when you were at your lowest, her caring smile would pick you right back up again. She was truly the kind of girl that only comes around once in a lifetime.
I suppose that being with someone who wanted nothing more than to love you just wasn't good enough for you. Her only desire was to be yours, but you pushed her away anyway.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi once said, "Happiness radiates like the fragrance from a flower and draws all good things towards you." That was what it was like to be with her. She radiated joy and optimism and made you happier just by being around you. It wasn't by accident either, her goal was always to bring you joy.
You were the center of her entire world. She put everything aside so that she could take care of you. Despite her best efforts, it seems like it was never enough for you. Although she put sweat, blood, and tears into making you happy, you didn't care.
Perhaps sometimes you didn't like her suggestions. You didn't want to change your lifestyle to fit her recommendations. The truth is though that she was just trying to help you do what she knows is best for you. She just wanted you to have the best life possible.
This was a girl that did so much for you. She put herself second just so that she could put you first. In spite of all her efforts, you never saw just how much she really did for you. As a result, you never put her first. You didn't even put her second or third. Instead, you put her at the bottom of your list of priorities.
Everything she did, both big and small, were all for your benefit, but you took it all for granted. She should have hated you for how ungrateful you were. She should have cursed your name and left you behind. Sadly, she loved you too much to ever let you go.
Maybe you were both blind to each other.
You doomed this relationship to fail, everyone could see it. Her family and friends all knew that you didn't appreciate her, but she didn't listen. All she wanted was to be yours and to love you freely and unconditionally. Because of how strong her feelings were for you, she did everything that she could to make the relationship work.
It didn't matter to her how bad things seemed. Even when you pushed her away with your selfish actions and dishonesty, she clung onto you as much as she could. The thing is though, there's only so long that someone can hold on for until all ties begin to break. You pushed her too far, and there was nothing left for her to cling onto.
People say that all good things must come to an end, but that's not really true. They only end when you end them, and that's exactly what you did here. You took the most amazing thing in your life and you threw it away. Now, you don't have her anymore. Thankfully, she's much better off without you.
No woman deserves this kind of treatment. If you know any woman who's in a situation like this, share this article with her. Let her know that she is a kind, caring, and beautiful person inside and out. One day, she'll find someone who's truly worthy of her.

I tell her that after I wiped the look of horror from my face, I thanked the girl politely and told her I was fine standing. Really. That walker she assumes I need? Not to worry. It comes with factory-equipped, anti-lock brakes.
I must look more decrepit that I realize. I can't tell. The five-watt light bulb over the bathroom mirror is dim and great for hiding wrinkles. It also hides household dirt, so you don't need to clean so often. Sometimes I think, why even bother? It'll just come back again.
Marilyn, another Facebook friend I don't know IRL (that stands for In Real Life) posts this about subway girl: "I'm the same age as you, and I would love it if someone did that for me." Liar.
Oh, right. Carded. That dreaded rite of teenage passage is now so remote it seems quaint. Like getting whistled, cat-called and hooted at by construction workers. In my feminist youth, I burned with indignation. Then I reached my 40s, the decade when women start to turn invisible. Time dampened my flame. When a few guys in hard hats still harassed me for old time's sake, I realized all I felt was … relieved.
My friend Debbi attempts to be helpful about the subway seat offer. She posts: "Maybe she had one of those 'do something nice for someone' school assignments and you just happened to be the recipient." Nice try, Debbi.
"It's much worse when the person offering you the seat is actually older than you," Marilyn points out.
I tell myself it's really no big deal. So what if a girl offered me her seat? After all, we're visiting Boston. It's overrun with college kids. No one's a day over 22, so anyone past 27 looks middle-aged. After two days, I begin to wonder what exactly it is they do to citizens once they reach 30.
This takes carding to a whole new unwelcome level.
Okay. Point taken. My son offers his seat to older people, too. He makes me proud.
Maybe it's time to pull myself up by my orthopedic bootstraps and embrace the senior fare discount.
But I'm still not taking that subway seat.
Here's what else I won't do yet: shop at Chico's, binge-watch Golden Girls or yell "Get off my lawn" at the neighbor's kids. I'll wear sensible shoes if I must. But as God is my witness, I will never eat dinner at 4:30 in the afternoon. Because demographically speaking, the death spiral starts with the Early Bird Special.

Trump China Trade War Has Deeper Agenda
Column: Economics
Region: Eastern Asia
Washington's recent trade actions are aimed foursquare at China, not at the EU or other trade partners. However, the aim is not to reduce China exports to the US. The aim is a fundamental opening up of the Chinese economy to the Washington free market liberal reforms that China has steadfastly resisted. In a sense, it is a new version of the Anglo-American Opium Wars of the 1840s using other means to open China. China's vision of its economic sovereignty is at direct odds with that of Washington. Because of this Xi Jinping is not about to cave in and Trump's latest threats of escalation risk a major destabilization of the precarious global financial system.
There exist basically two contradictory visions of the Chinese future economy and this is what the Washington attacks are about. One is to force China to open its economy on terms dictated by the West, especially by US multinationals. The second vision is one put in place during the first term of Xi Jinping aiming to transform China's huge economy into the world's leading technology nation over the coming seven years, a tall order but one Beijing takes deadly serious. It is also integral to the vision behind Xi Jinping's Belt Road Initiative.
Washington is determined to push China to adhere to a document it produced in 2013 together with the World Bank during the time Robert Zoellick headed it. The document, China 2030, calls for China to complete radical market reforms. It states, "It is imperative that China … develop a market-based system with sound foundations…while a vigorous private sector plays the more important role of driving growth." The report, cosigned then by the Chinese Finance Ministry and State Council, further declared that "China's strategy toward the world will need to be governed by a few key principles: open markets, fairness and equity, mutually beneficial cooperation, global inclusiveness and sustainable development."
Referring to the current Washington strategy of imposing import tariffs on billions worth of Chinese products, Michael Pillsbury, a neo-conservative former Trump Transition adviser and China expert told the South China Morning Post, "The endgame is that China complete its deep reforms of its economy as laid out in the joint report," referring to the World Bank Zoellick China 2030 report.
…Versus Made in China: 2025
Notable about that report is that it was released at the very start of Xi Jinping's presidency and can be said to be a product of an earlier China. Soon into office, Xi unveiled what is now his Belt Road Initiative, the ambitious multi-trillion industrial infrastructure project for high-speed rails and deep water ports that would create an integrated economic space across Eurasia including Russia, South Asia, the Middle East and parts of east Africa. Two years after Xi Jinping unveiled his new Economic Silk Road as it was initially called, his government released a quite different national economic strategy document to that of the World Bank. It is titled China 2025: Made in China.
The document calls for China to emerge from its initial stage as an economy assembling technologies for Apple or GM under license, to become self-sufficient in its own technology. The dramatic success of China mobile phone company Huawei to rival Apple or Samsung is a case in point. China 2025 is a strategy to support the development, much as was done in Germany after 1871 with "Made in Germany." In the space of thirty years German manufactures went from a position of low quality to one of the highest quality standards. The Chinese are well aware of this model.
The China sanctions are being drawn up by the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR). The USTR first report, some 200 pages, explicitly goes after what it calls China's unfair trade practices, accusing her of disregard for intellectual property rights, discrimination against foreign firms, and use of preferential industrial policies to "unfairly" bolster Chinese firms. That USTR report by name cites Made in China: 2025 as the offending strategy Trump tariffs aim to change.
China 2025 is the current blueprint to turn China into a world-class high-technology economy, exporting its own high-speed rail technology, aircraft, electric vehicles, robotics, AI technologies and countless other leading-edge technologies. It is in certain ways modelled on the 1950-1980 South Korea model in which the country moves in stages from labor-intensive industries and climb the value-added chain to high-tech industries with necessary state guidance. China, already facing the beginnings of a demographic imbalance knows she must develop this new industrial base model or face economic stagnation as it loses competitiveness. It's about going from dependence on foreign technology and investments to becoming independent in key areas. Much of China 2025 is based on China's careful study of the German "Industry 4.0" which seeks to marry German industrial production with the digital age. China:2025 seeks to achieve "self-sufficiency" through technology substitution, becoming a "manufacturing superpower" globally in critical high-tech industries.
"…stab at the heart of the snake"
The stakes in this latest confrontation from Washington are far too high to expect Xi Jinping to back down to US pressure and open its economy according to Washington demands. That would not only jeopardize China's economic strategy. It would also cause Xi Jinping to seriously lose face, something he is not inclined to do. Headlines in recent Communist Party state media indicate the mood. The lead story in Peoples' Daily declares, "Bravely unsheathe the sword, have the courage to oppose, stab at the heart of the snake…" It continues, "a trade war will hurt America's low-income consumers, industrial workers, and farmers…the main supporters of Trump."
In effect, Washington and the latest trade salvos are intended to tell China to keep its place in the US-version of a globalized liberal world where the state is not allowed to play any significant role, one where decisive power is held by a multinational corporate elite. Xi Jinping, having just consolidated his position with no restrictions on his term and consolidating his role as no previous Chinese leader since Mao, is not about to revert to what China sees as bowing to foreign pressures on its economic sovereignty. Privately, as I have confirmed in numerous discussions in China in the years since the 2008 financial crisis, China views the United States as a declining hegemon, much like the British Empire after 1873. It is determined to prepare a multi-polar alternative to the post-1990 US "sole superpower." Its close recent bonds with Russia include preparing gold-backed currencies, alternatives to the Western SWIFT, military defenses against any potential US threat in the South China Sea or elsewhere. Notable in this light the first trip abroad of new China Defense Minister Wei Fenghe was to meet his Ruian counterpart and signal the close ties of the two Eurasian powers to Washington. The Chinese view the US as a former industrial power whose debt is out of control and whose "free market" model has manifestly failed America, let alone the world.
An April 3 editorial in the official Beijing Global Times suggests China has no intent to back down or revert to the World Bank agenda. It declares, "Washington wanted to demonstrate its authority to the world, but unfortunately it gambled badly. The entire US elites have overestimated the strength and execution." The editorial continues, "There is no way for the US to rebuild the hegemony that elites in Washington picture. As globalization and democracy have dented the foundation for that hegemony, the US lacks the strength, will and internal unity needed. In fact, the US has found it difficult to subdue Iran and North Korea, not to mention major countries like China. Washington cannot rule the world as an empire."
China's execution of its ambitious Belt Road Initiative has not been to date without mistakes. It's the most far-reaching project in perhaps all world history to cooperate economically across more than 60 nations and cultures. It appears to be learning from mistakes and correcting them as the work develops. So far Washington has responded to direct invitations to participate by slamming the door and now imposing severe trade tariff sanctions to try to force China to back off from its state model of industrial policy.
It's hard to avoid the conclusion that this will not end in any victory for Trump or the US economy. The reaction of the bloated US stock markets to recent escalations suggest he risks popping the greatest speculative bubble in US stock market history, something that would trigger a financial crisis far worse than 2008. All of which suggests the old saying, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Trump has decided to launch not a trade war but a confrontation between Washington's version of a US-run globalized economy versus China's vision of national sovereign economic development. Today we see an increasing divide opening between nations such as China, Russia, Iran and several European countries such as Hungary or Austria who realize that the agenda of US-riven globalization spells disaster for their future. This divergence is the most significant tectonic fault line in world geopolitics and will define whether the world descends into a new depression or develops a model for growth and expansion centered around the infrastructure of China and Russia Eurasian cooperation.
The US economy is in no shape to win such a confrontation, nor will Xi Jinping back down. This could get very nasty. China is responding very carefully and in measured moves.
The latest Pentagon strategic policy document, 2018 National Defense Strategy, explicitly names China and Russia as the main threats to US "national security," and accuses China of "predatory economics" (sic), of using to their advantage economic policies that use the rules of the system to advantage, as if the US didn't. If Trump really escalates, China is clearly ready to do whatever necessary, even with economic pain, to defend its economic model, as defined in China: 2025.

Justin Bieber: "I Never Met the Woman"
The 17-year-old pop singer appeared on "Today" to set the record straight about paternity allegations.
By Eric Alt	• Published at 5:31 am on November 4, 2011
Amid screaming fans and the promotion of his Christmas album, Justin Bieber found himself having to clear the air regarding recent paternity allegations on "Today" Friday morning.
The 17-year-old pop singer was on the plaza to promote his new Christmas album, "Under the Mistletoe," which he said allowed him to give back to the food banks where he and his family received food before his rise to superstardom.
After talking about his charity contributions, Bieber was questioned by host Matt Lauer about the accusations being levied against him by Mariah Yeater. The 19-year-old woman is claiming she and Bieber had a tryst backstage after one of his shows and that he is the father of her 3-month-old son.
"I'd just like to say, basically, that none of those allegations are true," said Bieber. "And I know that I'm going to be a target, but I'm never going to be a victim."
He continued: "I think it's crazy because every night after a show I've gone right from the stage right to my car, so it's crazy that some people want to make up such false allegations. But to set the record straight: None of it is true."
When asked by Lauer is he knew Yeater at all, Bieber replied: "Never met the woman."
The Biebs thanked his supporters hours later in a tweet.
"Thanks to everyone who supports me. much appreciated. grateful. thank u. #focused," he wrote.

Discussion in 'iPad 2 Forum' started by MikeV99, Mar 26, 2011.
I am toying around with the idea of letting Best Buy buy back my iPad 1 and getting an iPad 2. Are my files transferable between the two? If yes, would this be done via iTunes?
Can I uninstall my apps on 1 and then install them on the new iPad 2? If yes, how?
Is it possible to install an iPad 1 backup on the iPad 2?
Yes. When connecting the iPad 2 with iTunes it asks, whether you want to restore, choose yes, wait a few hours and then all content (music/videos/apps/settings) will be copied over to iPad 2.
There is no need to uninstall apps on iPad 1, as apps can be used on an unlimited number of iOS devices.
Great. After I backup the iPad 1 how do I remove everything and get it back to factory state?
Perfect. Now all I need is a little spare change? I think I shall wait until I get close to the 6 month 50% window and then make the jump.
You might not want to wait too long if you want much for you iPad. I sold mine to Gazelle.com 2 weeks ago for $530. The price they offer now is already down to $381.
The more high-end apps that come out that require the iPad 2's processing and graphics power, the harder it's going to be to sell the original iPad.
When I bought my iPad, Best Buy had a buy back special going. If I trade it in within 6 months I get 50% back. I get 6 months use of the iPad 1 and then get an iPad 2 unless the iPad 3 is here by then .
50%? not a chance. I would sell it privately first.
You may be right. However, Apple is selling new ones for $729.00. I can get $415 anytime between now and about 5 months. Refurbished units are selling for $659.00. Gazelle is offering $318. Free shipping Mint ones are selling on eBay for $550. I might be able to get that for mine, but maybe not. The market is quickly becoming a buyer's market.

Friends remember man killed Wednesday as someone bigger than life who cared for others
LAS CRUCES - Friends say Las Cruces resident Efren Valdez Gutierrez was a good person. He always had a smile on his face; he lived to help people.
At 10:45 p.m. on Wednesday, June 10, Gutierrez's body was found in his home after police responded to a call that had come in through dispatch. Someone was outside the apartment yelling for help.
Arturo Francisco Quintana, 31, who was Gutierrez's next-door neighbor, has been charged in the murder.
Quintana was just one of the people Gutierrez was trying to help. On many occasions, Quintana would stop by Gutierrez's apartment to ask for a cigarette, a drink or money for the gas station.
Prologue to a requiem
Three days before Gutierrez's death, police were dispatched to the Mesilla Manor Apartments for a domestic dispute in which Quintana was identified as one of the suspects. During the dispute, police say Quintana assaulted a police officer, then barricaded himself in his home by moving furniture in front of the door before jumping out a second-story window to evade police.

Following the Sunday incident, Quintana remained at large until apprehended following Wednesday's homicide. As he fled the scene, neighbors heard Quintana say, "I had to do it," according to police reports. He was later arrested without incident.
'I will always treasure every bit of Efran trash'
As news spread of Gutierrez's death, friends and loved ones flooded his Facebook page with memories — and expressing their grief and shock over his loss.
For many years, Gutierrez worked at the BPL Plasma Center. He was currently attending massage therapy school and working as a caregiver.
On Facebook, Gutierrez's former co-worker at the plasma center and roommate, Amy Ivey, said:
"Suddenly I'm grateful for every single thing you left in my house. I will always treasure each bit of Efren trash, and your crock pot, and the Yoda you bought me. And the beach thing I can't be even lift. Artie's broken harness. And every memory you left on these walls."
Ivey said she and Gutierrez were friends for about seven years and roommates for about five, along with a couple of other people.

He was an incredibly optimistic person who always gave other people smiles, she said.
"He's the type of person who tries to give back in everything he does," she said.
He had two dogs, but one of them recently passed away, she said. Despite his loss, Gutierrez was helping a friend take care of two puppies.
One of Ivey's favorite memories of Gutierrez was when he threw a Halloween party in 2016 in honor of his brother who had died several years ago.
"It was just music, and we decorated the yard with glow sticks. It was just really fun and jovial. I remember he changed costumes three times in the evening because he couldn't decide what one he wanted to be in more," she said.
He liked to be fun and to make people happy, Ivey said.
One of the costumes was a caveman, a Venom costume and another gray costume that he changed into throughout the night, she said.
They stretched cobwebs throughout the house and played horror movies all night.

Since finding out about Gutierrez's death, Ivey said she's having trouble processing it.
"He is a force that will be greatly missed by the energy of the world," she said.
Because Quintana was a person Gutierrez was trying to help, Ivey said it makes his death even more tragic.
'Share his face'
In his Facebook post, Gutierrez's friend, Mark Monsivaiz, shared the Las Cruces Police Department's announcement of his friend's death and the arrest of Quintana and urged everyone to share his face.
"This is the stupid [expletive] THAT KILLED MY FRIEND...OUR FRIEND! Efran did nothing! And did not deserve this! I hope you get what you deserve for taking his life," his post read.
Monsivaiz said Gutierrez was the warmest, kindest soul a person would ever meet.
"He was never afraid to meet new people," Gutierrez told the Sun-News. "He was always the first person to start up a conversation with a stranger. He was just that kind of friendly person. He was always there for us. He was always there for his friends and family, no matter what their circumstances were."
News of his friend's death pains him greatly, Monsivaiz said.
"He was always success driven. He was so hard-working and determined to get his life on track, and that's what he was actually doing. He was going to school for massage therapy. His life was really getting on track. It saddens me to know that his life was taken so soon," he said.
The two friends met several years ago while working at BPL Plasma Center. Gutierrez was Monsivaiz's trainer when he started working there.

"As soon as we met, we immediately created this friendship and this bond. We were more than just co-workers, we were friends. We would hang out outside of work," he said.
When Monsivaiz learned of Gutierrez's death, his heart immediately sunk, he said.
"It felt like it fell into my stomach. I was at a loss for words. I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to believe it at first. That's the last thing you'd expect to happen, especially to someone like Efren. It hurts me so much to know that he's actually gone," he said.
'Thank you for being an inspiration'
Nicole Garcia posted that her memories of Gutierrez will never fade.
"Until we meet again, dear friend, I love you Efren. Thank you for being such an inspiration while we had you," she posted.
On Thursday afternoon, in an interview with the Sun-News, Garcia said she was still having difficulty absorbing the fact that her friend had been murdered.
"He was a kind person, and very enthusiastic and sweet — always willing to lend a helping hand," she said.

His passing, she said, is a huge loss.
"He was always ready to dance and to have fun. He was always in a good mood," Garcia said.
When she found out about his death, Garcia said she was shocked and couldn't grasp what had happened.
"A friend told me how it happened, and I felt this overwhelming feeling of anger and distress and just overall sadness," she said.
If there's one thing Garcia said she wants the community to know about Gutierrez, it is that he was a fun-loving soul — everything you'd expect from a good person.

NLG Condemns Supreme Court's Attack on Workers' Rights in Janus Decision
Contact: K. Dean Hubbard, Jr., NLG Labor and Employment Committee Chair, deanhub@gmail.com
With its Janus v. AFSCME (American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees Council) decision, the Supreme Court's conservative majority has overturned a 40-year-old precedent that allows public sector unions, like private sector unions, to charge non-members—who they are required by law to represent—a fee for that representation.
The core of the Court's naked power grab on behalf of the far right in Janus is an argument that "compelling a person to subsidize the speech of other private speakers" violates the First Amendment. But that's not what this case is about. It's about destroying unions that represent public sector workers, such as librarians, firefighters and teachers. Unions protect the free speech rights of public sector workers by providing them a collective voice that counterbalances the power of the government. The Janus case is about erasing that collective voice and power so governments can comfortably represent the interests of the rich and powerful, and ignore, abuse, and exploit the rest of us.
Public sector unions are on the right wing hit list because they have remained strong in the face of decades of attacks, so they have won vital victories not only by bargaining for the people they represent, but by fighting for policies that benefit all people. Public sector unions are one of the only remaining institutional bulwarks in a number of states against a complete takeover by the forces of oligarchy led by ALEC, funded by the Koch Brothers and others. The Janus majority's claim that destroying the collective power and voice of public workers to negotiate with their boss is about protecting their free speech is about as Orwellian as it gets.
Janus does not signal the end of public sector unions—but it does require an effective, concerted and strategic response, not just from unions but from all people who do not want to see democracy lost for good. Conservatives see Janus as another step in a long-term, nationwide power grab that continues to dismantle our democracy. Unions are a strong voice for progressive government that represents the interests of everyday people, and corporate interests will now have nearly unobstructed use of government. At its heart, opposing these efforts is not just about solidarity with union workers. It is about the survival of democracy and all of our human rights, in the same way that the civil rights and voting rights movements are not just about the rights of people of color, that immigrant rights struggles are not just about protecting immigrant families. Once again, we are at a defining moment in our history where we are being shown that we as a nation cannot be free if any of our people are not free.

Were you by any chance looking for the 2018-2021 version of "Lost in Space"?
The Lost In Space TV show was a 60 minute sci-fi series that aired on CBS for 83 episodes from 1965-1968. It was about the Robinson Family, Major Don West and their faithfull robot who left Earth on the Jupiter II spacecraft on a five-year mission to explore a planet in the Alpha Centauri star system. Unfortunately, Doctor Zachary Smith sabotaged the ship, throwing it off-course and leaving the entire crew including Doctor Smith ... Lost In Space! Each week they travelled from planet to planet searching for the way back to Earth and finding aliens and danger along the way.
Lost In Space Broadcast History:
Wednesday Nights from 7:30 to 8:30 PM on CBS during its entire run
Lost In Space Cast
Guy Williams .... Professor John Robinson
June Lockhart .... Maureen Robinson
Mark Goddard .... Don West
Marta Kristen .... Judy Robinson
Billy Mumy............ Will Robinson
Angela Cartwright .... Penny Robinson
Jonathan Harris .... Doctor Zachary Smith
Lost In Space Trivia
The Lost In Space TV show was originally titled, "Space Family Robinson". CBS was afraid that it was too close to Disney's Movie, "Swiss Family Robinson", so they changed it.
June Lockhart started her "on-screen" career with a bang! In 1938 she played the role of "Cratchit's Daughter" in the classic movie, "A Christmas Carol"!
The first name chosen for the spaceship was, "Gemini XII" (in the pilot only). It was changed to "Jupiter II" because it was felt that the audience might confuse it with NASA's "Gemini" program.
Before going "off-course", the Jupiter II was heading for "Alpha Centauri".
Caroll O'Connor (Archie Bunker on the series, "All in the Family") was considered for the role of Dr. Smith.
In order to keep their budgets as low as possible, it was common to share props from one program to another. Some of the props including the robot on Lost In Space were also used on "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1964)", "Batman (1966)", "Time Tunnel (1966)", and "Land of the Giants (1968)".
Nasa and Houston did not control the flight of the Jupiter II spacecraft during the pilot and first episodes. That was done by "Alpha Control".
Marta Kristen (Judy Robinson) was not born in the United States. Her mother was from Finland and her father was a Nazi soldier from Germany. Her mother left her at an orphanage in Oslo, Norway when she was only two months old. Happily, she found a loving home when she was adopted by a couple from the United States.
Bill Mumy appeared on three of the original "Twilight Zone (1959)" TV show episodes and also appeared in the "Twilight Zone Movie". His first cast appearance on the series was in 1961 and his movie appearance was in 1983! During his long career, he has also appeared as a guest cast member on other sci-fi series such as: "Bewitched", "I Dream of Jeannie" and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine". His first credited appearance, however, was in a movie! In 1960, he played the role of "Aladdin" in the movie, "Wizard of Baghdad.
