Big Bank Obesity Conundrum
March 5, 2012 Chidem Kurdas
Is the Federal Reserve a hotbed of trustbusters? Fed officials (as well as some academics) have been calling for forcible downsizing of big banks . "I am of the belief personally that the power of the five largest banks is too concentrated," Dallas Federal Reserve Bank president Richard Fisher said a few days ago during a visit to Mexico, according to news reports. He's expressed similar views before, as has Thomas Hoenig, former president of the Kansas City Fed.
Here on ThinkMarkets Jerry O'Driscoll, a Federal Reserve veteran, wrote: "There is no conceivable efficiency gain that justifies the risk these gigantic, risky institutions impose on all of us," to quote one of his comments. The main argument is that large banks, having been given access to financing from the Fed during the crisis, are now more likely to take risks because they know they'll be bailed out.
The neo-trustbusters favor the rule, suggested by and named after former Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker, aiming to slim down banks by having them divest proprietary trading and hedge fund and private equity businesses. "Perhaps the financial equivalent of irreversible lap-band or gastric bypass surgery is the only way to treat the pathology of financial obesity, contain the relentless expansion of these banks, and downsize them to manageable proportions," Mr. Fisher says.
No doubt, government backing of banks, like government backing of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, creates a nasty moral hazard. Unlike Fannie and Freddie, however, the banks were originally not creatures of the government. They grew in scale and scope for decades, long before the bailouts and the emergence of the notion that they are too big to be allowed to fail. Government-subsidized risk taking is not the reason they became big—they were already big, for reasons the neo-trustbusters do not address.
The classical objection to concentration is that the resulting monopoly or oligopolies boost prices and restrict output to make extra profits. But investment banks face competition in almost every line of business; the competition is ferocious in areas like brokerage. It is not just that big US banks compete with each other. They also compete with large banks all over the world. It would be hard to find any major financial market where the incumbent enjoys monopoly rents at the expense of customers with no threat of competition.
So the case for scaling down banks is not predicated on their monopoly power but on the menace to taxpayers in the event the government props up failing banks. But if they're not making monopoly profits, why did these banks become large and diversified in the first place? Remarkably, this has happened everywhere, under different policies and regulatory regimes. Global financial players – not just Bank of America, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo but also Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, UBS, HSBC, Barclays – are all big entities.
Fed officials say banks don't need to be so large to be efficient. But then why are they so large? The long-term trend of expanding scale and scope in banking goes back a century or more and is global. Surely, so protracted and widespread a trend can't be due to mistake or chance. There must be some efficiency advantage. The great business historian Alfred Chandler explained scale and scope economies in modern industry. We need a similar analysis for finance. It is likely that there are such economies and destroying them in the name of shrinking the banks will obliterate a portion of national income.
So far, the starve-the-fat-banks Volcker Rule treatment is not going well. While regulators still try to determine how to implement the rule, unintended consequences have already shown up. Banks' trading on their own account is intertwined with market making for clients. As the prop desks shut down, there are fewer market players to match buyers and sellers. That increases the cost of transacting in particular in the bond market, adding to the expense of mutual funds and small businesses.
Europeans complain that the Volcker Rule could discourage banks from trading European government bonds, thereby increasing the costs to those governments and aggravating credit problems.
We'd be better off if the ancient medical tenet, first do no harm, were applied by both doctors and regulators. Instead, regulators tend to behave like medieval physicians who apply leeches for bloodletting every time they confront a baffling condition.
Until there is a better understanding of why banks grow, what makes them efficient and how the loss of efficiency will affect the system, forced dieting is likely to do more harm than good.

Idina Menzel is not that girl
The Broadway superstar on being a gay icon, diva and role model
By Richard Burnett Sep 01, 2015, 12:28 PM EDT
Idina Menzel may be on top of the world, but the American actress and singer insists that she's no diva. "I'm pretty low maintenance," says Menzel. Her rise to fame originated from her Tony-nominated role as Maureen Johnson, in the 1996 Broadway musical Rent. She later won the Tony for best actress in a musical in 2004 for playing Elphaba in Wicked, a role she would reprise when the show opened in London's West End in 2006. Superstardom came when Menzel voiced the character of Elsa in the Disney movie Frozen, and topped the charts with her Oscar-winning anthem "Let It Go." In this edited interview, Daily Xtra sat down with Menzel to talk about fame, performing and being a gay icon.
Daily Xtra: How do you protect your voice on a long world tour like this one?
Idina Menzel: I warm up with my voice teacher. We treat it like an athlete trains for the Olympics. You don't run a marathon coming out of nowhere. It's important to train, especially for when you have a cold or you're having a bad day. You have to be able to get up there onstage and still be powerful even if you're not 100 percent.
How did your recurring role as Shelby Corcoran on the TV series Glee affect your career?
More people see television than see theatre, so I think if anything, people said, "Oh, that's the girl from Wicked in the green make-up!" It allowed people to connect the dots.
Speaking of Wicked, I have to ask you about your Jan 8, 2005 performance, when you fell through a trap door and cracked a lower rib.
I thought I had punctured my lungs or something. It was crazy and I was surrounded by all the crew guys backstage, who were my friends. They were trying to get me to breathe and were afraid to move me because they wanted to make sure my spine was okay. It was scary.
How different is it performing on Broadway versus the West End?
Not much of a difference. Londoners get a bad rap for being more refined of an audience, and I think that is completely unfounded. I find them to be as or more supportive than any New York audiences. They're excited, smart and sophisticated, and I love going back there.
Are you involved with the upcoming US national tour of the Broadway musical If/Then?
I am going to headline a couple of the opening cities, get it started, because it's really important to me that the rest of the country gets to see this incredible show that I was with from the very beginning and feel very connected to.
Will you star in the Broadway adaptation of Frozen?
We'll see if they want me to. They're still working on the story, and I might be too old to play Elsa onstage.
Beyond your championing LGBT civil rights, what is it about Idina Menzel that your gay fans love?
That question is always one of the hardest ones for me to answer because I'm not quite sure. I think it's partly the underdog characters that I've played — characters who overcome alienation, or being ostracized, who overcome adversity to feel beautiful. Also, good big hair, a good big voice and a nice vibrato is always good for the gay community. I owe everything to my gay fans, ever since my Rent days.
A new generation and wider audience discovered you via Frozen. What is it like for you when young girls and women celebrate you?
It's beautiful, but it's also quite a responsibility. It makes me need to be on my game and make sure I am not just talking the talk, but walking the walk, that I am practicing what I preach. I am out there singing about empowerment and accepting who you are, and what makes you extraordinary in this world. So I make sure I do that for myself, as a 40-year-old woman. I don't want to be hypocritical. It's a big responsibility, not just to young girls, but also to young boys.
Is Idina Menzel a diva?
(Laughs) Not in the negative context they use it these days. I hope I'm not. I'm grappling with asking for what I need [to do my job] as a powerful woman in this world, because women get a bad rap when they stand up and speak for themselves. But I'm pretty low maintenance, I would say. It's a balance. It all ties into Frozen and Elsa and not being afraid to embrace power and harness it, and know you can change the world.

The best way to keep your real estate brand at the forefront of your customer's mind and drive traffic back to your website on a regular basis is to employ reminder advertising. This highly effective marketing strategy typically consists of sending out brief messages to your target market on a regular basis with the objective of reminding your customers about your real estate brand and services and then driving them back to your website.
Property Email Alerts - Potential buyers and tenants are able to register their unique property requirements on your website or you can manually log their requirements in the Leads Management System. Then every time you list a new property, buyers or tenants with matching property requirements will automatically receive a branded property email notification. If the property is of interest to the buyers or tenants on your database, they will click on the link and return to your website for more information.
Monthly Email Newsletters - Keeping in regular contact with your client base is key to reminder advertising, and monthly email newsletters are the most effective way to achieve this. You can create and distribute a custom email newsletter on a monthly basis to promote your featured listings, company services, testimonials and your latest property news and advice articles with links back to your website.
Promo Emails - Not all reminder advertising campaigns are regular; some are designed to promote an upcoming event, special offer or an important announcement. Such is the purpose of a promotional email marketing campaign. It targets a segment of your mailing list in a highly personalised way, and delivers a specific message that is relevant to that specific audience for a certain time period.
Google Display Ads - You can also promote your real estate brand through Google's Display Network by creating, placing and displaying a wide variety of text and image adverts on other relevant high-traffic websites that are visited by people most likely to be interested in your property business and services. Then you can employ remarketing techniques to connect with past website visitors. Once a prospective customer has visited your website, you can display highly targeted adverts on any other high traffic website within the Google Display network and remind them about your brand or even a particular property listing and then attempt to drive them back to a specific page or section on your website.
Facebook Ads - Just like Google Display Ads, you can create adverts on Facebook and then employ remarketing techniques to display those highly targeted ads to users on Facebook who have previously visited your website.
Website Content - The best way to get prospective customers to return to your website is to publish original, valuable and engaging content on your website on a regular basis. Not only will this position your website and real estate brand as a valuable online resource and boost your search engine visibility, but it will keep your visitors coming back for more. The more often you publish new property listings and property news and advice articles on your website, the more likely a prospective customer is to return to your website.
By consistently distributing Property Email Alerts, Email Newsletters and Promotional Emails to highly targeted segments of your customer database and then employing clever remarketing techniques through Google Display and Facebook Ad campaigns, and ensuring that valuable content and property listings are published on your website on a regular basis, you are sure to keep your real estate brand in the forefront of your customer's mind and keep them coming back to your website throughout 2017.

India warns of Afghanistan becoming haven for JeM, LeT
India has warned of Afghanistan becoming a haven for terrorist organisations that threaten the region and called for unified action against the Islamic State, Al-Qaeda, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba getting entrenched there.
India's Permanent Representative T.S. Tirumurti told the UN Security Council on Thursday, "We need to see concrete progress in ensuring that such proscribed terrorists, entities or their aliases do not get any support, tacit or direct, either from Afghan soil or from the terror sanctuaries based in the region."
"The linkages between groups listed (as terrorist organisations) by the UNSC (Security Council) such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Jaish-e-Mohammed, as well as provocative statements made by other terrorist groups operating out of Afghanistan pose a direct threat to the region," he said. He noted that the Taliban, which now controls Afghanistan, "is yet to dissociate itself with other terrorist groups such as the Al-Qaeda which continue to remain active". Therefore, he added, unified action was needed to "ensure that Afghanistan does not become a haven" for other terrorist organisations, including the "local Islamic State affiliate known by the acronym ISIS-K, Al-Qaeda, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba".
Tirumurti heads the Council's panel overseeing the implementation of its sanctions relating to Afghanistan that is known as the 1988 Sanctions Committee after the resolution setting it up. He said that the committee's report issued in May indicates "that the current authorities need to take much stronger action to fulfil their anti-terrorism commitments".
In particular, he added that "there is a significant increase in the presence of ISIL-K in the country and their capacity to carry out attacks. ISIL-K, with its base reportedly in Afghanistan, continues to issue threats of terrorist attacks on other countries". ISIS-K has claimed responsibility for the attack on gurdwara Karte Parwan in Kabul last week and has threatened to strike elsewhere. Under-Secretary-General Martin Griffiths, who is the UN's Emergency Relief Coordinator, described the "desperate situation" of starvation and drought in Afghanistan which has been compounded by the earthquake this week. Asking for more aid to that country while pledging to ensure that they are administered properly, he said, "Without intervention, hunger and malnutrition will intensify with devastating consequences. Drought will persist, wreaking havoc on crop yields and availability of safe water."
Tirumurti said that India has sent Afghanistan 30,000 tonne of wheat, 13 ton of medicines, 500,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccines and winter clothing. India has signed an agreement with the World Food Programme (WFP) for the distribution of 50,000 tonne of wheat in Afghanistan. The wheat supply through the WFP was held up by Pakistan but has since been allowed and they are being sent to Afghanistan. India has also sent 1 million doses of the Covaxin vaccine to Iran to innoculate Afghan refugees living there against Covid-19, Tirumurti added.
He said that an Indian team had gone to Afghanistan this month to meet representatives of the international organisations involved in distribution of the humanitarian assistance and to visit places where Indian programmes and projects are being implemented like Indira Gandhi Children Hospital, Habibia High School, Chimtala sub-power station and the WFP wheat distribution centre. According to the Ministry of External Affairs, the team headed by Joint Secretary J.P. Singh was also to have met with representatives of the Taliban.
Trina Saha, the Acting US Mission's Minister Counselor for Political Affairs, said that if the Taliban wants to normalise relations with the international community, it should heed the Council's demand "to reverse the steps it's taken to exclude women from social, political and economic life — immediately".
"This is a perilous moment for Afghanistan," she said, adding, "We have been alarmed by the resumption of fighting and reports of abuses against civilians in various parts of Afghanistan, including in Panjshir."

Led Zeppelin, Bruce Springsteen Covered During Super Bowl Halftime Show
Hulton Archive / Maddie Meyer / Mike Coppola, Getty Images
Snippets of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" and Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." were performed during the halftime show of last night's Super Bowl, held at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla.
An eight-second bit of the riff from "Kashmir" was used by Shakira as a transition between "Empire" and "Chantaje." Another eight seconds of "Born in the U.S.A." were performed in the middle of Jennifer Lopez's "Let's Get Loud" by Emme Maribel Muniz, Lopez's 11-year-old daughter. At the time, Lopez was wearing an outfit with the Puerto Rican flag on one side and the U.S. flag on the other. Lopez is of Puerto Rican ancestry and was born in New York City.
You can watch the halftime show below. "Kashmir" appears at the 1:51 mark; "Born in the U.S.A." turns up at 12:16.
When it was announced that Shakira and Lopez were to perform the halftime show, Dee Snider took exception to the decision. "Once again the great heavy music that rocks the stadiums week after week, game after game, is completely ignored," he tweeted. "I guess we don't shake our ass enough!!"
"Hey @NFL! Your go-to songs at every game are metal" he continued. "'Enter Sandman,' 'Cum On Feel the Noise,' 'Thunder[struck],' 'Crazy Train,' 'We're Not Gonna Take It,' 'We Are the Champions,' 'Final Countdown,' 'I Wanna Rock,' 'We Will Rock You,' 'Welcome to Jungle.' None of those bands have ever played half-time show!"
Snider was heard during the telecast, however, in the form of Twisted Sister's "I Wanna Rock." The song was used in an ad for Facebook that played during the fourth quarter.
The Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers, 31-10 to take home their first championship since 1970. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was named the game's Most Valuable Player.

Exciting New Developments in Springfield


If you need an appetizer that is quick to make, does not call for too many ingredients and is healthy enough to have even when you are sick, you need to make this. If you are not sick, and need a healthy snack you should make this.
I am recovering from a bout of fever and could have made a stew, but my legs refuse to stand too long today, so the thought of chopping up vegetables, thawing the broth, picking herbs seems a long and tiresome process. I did not want the regular khichdi because my tongue wants something more flavourful. Then I remembered the baby carrots in the fridge. I had been meaning to make them sometime back but too many appetizers kept happening and the baby carrots did not find their way to the kitchen table.
So here is what I did. Not much of a recipe here. Just putting together a few ingredients and creating a flavour I like, colours that pop sparks of energy, even if temporarily. Yes, this is indeed comfort food as it is lively on the mind but soothing to the sight.
Baby carrots – We had about 20-25 nos.
Olive oil – 2 tsps.
Pre-heat oven at 220 deg. C.
Wash and dry carrots with a towel. Line baking tray with a foil. Drizzle olive oil.
Arrange carrots and sprinkle herbs, flakes and salt as per taste. Toss lightly so that the oil and seasonings are evenly mixed.
Bake in the center rack for about 20 minutes or till done. Do not let carrots shrivel or blacken. The colour should turn a shade or two brighter. Else you might end up with miniature carrots that might just feed birds.
Serve with vegan cream cheese if you have the patience or finish it up.

Kim says she's been having sex 500 times a day
TMI Kim, TMI.
On 22 March, at 9pm, Keeping Up With The Kardashians is back on our screens. We have so many questions about what will happen in the new series; Will Bruce openly talk about his rumoured sex change? Will Kim talk about wanting another baby? And will Rob finally come out of hiding?
In a teaser trailer for the new series, Kim Kardashian says she has sex 500 TIMES a day with Kanye as she desperately tries to get pregnant.
The newly blonde star, who is currently in Paris for Paris Fashion Week, has previously opened up about her struggle to have a baby, saying: "It's been more challenging to get pregnant the second time around.
Kim Kardashians's 40th Birthday special episode of KUWTK is airing today - here's how you can watch it
The kountdown is on (sorry).
"When you're not planning it, it happens. It's just how God works.
"And when you want it so bad, it's not happening..."
As well as Kim's fertility struggles, the new series is all about the family matriarch, Kris Jenner. Her daughters have had their time in the spotlight, and now it's her turn.
Inside Kylie Jenner's epic 21st birthday party
Inside the best party (possibly) ever. But clearly our invite got lost in the post. Alas.
The series kicks off with Kris and Bruce finalising their divorce, and having the family adjusting to the change.
Eager to get their 59-year-old mum back out there, and having fun, Kylie Jenner enlists the help of Scott Disick to get Kris back on the dating scene. Having these two as matchmakers can only end in trouble, surely?!
However, the joke stops being funny when Kris finds her kids aren't as supportive when she finds herself a much younger man, 33-year-old Corey Gamble.
The new series will also see friction between Kris and her daughter Kim. It's no secret that the pair are struggling living in close quarters, but the tension reaches an all-time high, and Kris takes it upon herself to have Kim's things packed and moved - without Kim knowing.
Later in the series, the family is ready to let loose and spend some quality time during their annual family holiday and head to a winter wonderland for some fun in the snow and ski time. Will it end without any drama? We seriously doubt it.

On July 12th, the CFRF hosted a meeting in which Dr. David Richardson and Dr. John Manderson from the Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) presented, to a room full of fishing industry members and fisheries scientists, the most recent research findings and further questions being investigated about the squid resources along the East coast.
Dr. Richardson presented recent findings made while analyzing past NEFSC offshore plankton trawl survey data. The offshore NEFSC plankton trawl began in the 1970s and has sampled 6 times every year since. While analyzing the larval squid samples, the diversity off the East coast was startling, with up to 25 different squid species being found. Longfin squid accounted for the greatest abundance within the larval samples (85-90%). Relying on larval surveys and aging databases, Dr. Richardson has begun to determine where the squid found in the Northeast could be originating from. As squid are a short-lived species, typically living only 6-9 months, the location of squid larvae throughout the year indicate where and when adult squid are spawning. Dr. Richardson has found that squid larvae are nearly absent from the Northeast shelf during winter months, suggesting that the squid that support the summer fishery originate elsewhere. The most probable point of origination/spawning is the Southeast shelf, where larval squid are abundant during winter months. Squid spawned in the Southeast during the winter could be transported northward via the Gulf Stream to recruit into the Northeast squid fishery during the spring and summer. During the summer months, larval squid are abundant across the Northeast continental shelf. It is believed that these squid remain in the Northeast and recruit into the fishery in the fall and winter.
Dr. Manderson presented a summary of his research surrounding methods for monitoring and managing fisheries utilizing real-time oceanographic technology and catch monitoring systems. With the system applied in the squid fishery, Manderson is able to monitor how the squid fishery and landings respond to changing oceanographic conditions. Ultimately, this type of automatic analysis system could be utilized by individual fishermen to target locations based on ideal oceanographic conditions. One specific example that Dr. Manderson provided was to target specific temperatures and salinities to maximize target species abundance and minimize bycatch. On a larger scale, this approach could be applied to monitor how the oceanographic conditions are evolving over a region throughout each season to begin to predict the potential appropriate harvest levels based on those conditions.

"Kill!"
It was instant. The second that flowing white hair appeared among the crowd, the elders of the Xue Clan zipped forward to smite her.
Altogether, there were 12 4th class elders, excluding the First Elder, and they were all taking part in the charge.
However, they weren't the only ones waiting for this moment.
Damien's figure flashed away, appearing in the Xue Clan elders' path. His five 4th class subordinates appeared behind him at the same time.
"You know the deal, right?" He spoke jokingly.
The White Dragon King rolled his eyes. "Kill, kill, and kill some more, is it?"
Damien grinned. "You know me best."
The six of them split up. Each of Damien's helpers took two of the Xue Clan Elders and dragged them into combat.
It wasn't a matter of whether the elders wanted to engage them or not, it was a matter of survival. After all, the beasts of the 3000 Beast Mountain Range and the Demons of the Primordial Undying Realm were innately stronger than humans at the same level.
The problem was, there were still two elders left who slipped through the cracks and continued their charge.
But, of course, it wasn't by mistake that they were able to do so.
Damien grinned to himself. 'These guys are really tactful. They entangled the stronger elders, and left the two weakest ones to me. Are they perhaps testing my power? Very well, it's not like I'm afraid to show them.'
But just as Damien was about to charge at the two incoming elders, Ruyue appeared by his side.
"Well, I have a rough idea of what's happening. But this is my revenge, so don't you think I should participate as well? You take the left, I'll take the right."
Damien smirked at her words. As expected of his woman. He put his hands together and cracked his knuckles, doing the same with his neck right after.
"Deal."
With a single word, he vanished from his position and appeared mere centimeters away from the 11th Elder.
"Hi there!"
The 11th Elder's eyes widened in shock. He hurriedly raised his arms to block.
Damien's fist landed only an instant later, causing the 11th Elder's bones to emit a guttural snapping sound.
"I'll be playing with you today, so don't disappoint me too much, 'kay?" Damien grinned mockingly.
He was incredibly excited. After all, this was his first fight since all the power boosts he gained from the Primordial Undying Fruit. And having an entry-level 4th class as his opponent was perfect.
This kind of strength…he no longer feared it.
Space twisted into an illusory blade in Damien's grasp. His figure once again disappeared, reappearing before the 11th Elder could regain his bearings.
'Let's test my cutting power first.'
'Void Sword Art First Form: Bladeless'
Ziu! BOOM!
A thin black line formed in space, shooting out like a bullet until it covered several kilometers of the sky. And the second it finished extending, it explosively expanded into a massive gash that swallowed the 11th Elder.
Damien shot into that gash after him. Finding the 11th Elder's figure in the shattered space, he took his stance once more.
'Void Sword Art Second Form: Horizon Break'
His sword was parallel to the ground, his arm pulled back like he was priming a bow. Mana gathered and coalesced around the blade as it sped forward.
As if air was forced to compress and expand, a large bang sounded through the shattered space. What followed was…
"ARGH!"
A roar of pain. The 11th Elder was suddenly assaulted by blinding pain in his shoulder, but when he looked down, he noticed that he no longer had one.
'The power of horizon break has risen satisfactorily.' Damien nodded with a smile.
Looking at this man, who was supposed to have an entire class' worth of advantage on him, unable to fight back, Damien couldn't help but praise his own improvement.
But his eyes hardened in the next second. His body twisted at an unnatural angle, almost causing his bones to shatter.
An ice arrow grazed his cheek. If he was only a single second late, it would've pierced his skull without any resistance.
'Tch. A 4th class is still a 4th class after all. I have enough attack power to harm him, but my defense isn't enough to stay unharmed. I can't give him any more opportunities.'
'Void Sword Art Third Form: Dance of the Void'
Damien's figure turned illusory, multiplying endlessly. Tens, hundreds, thousands of phantom projections filled the shattered space.
The 11th Elder smirked. "Haha, brat. You think a mere illusion technique could fool me?!"
A thousand Damiens shook their heads in response. "No wonder you didn't talk before. The only thing that comes out of your mouth is bullshit."
The illusory phantoms danced through the shattered space. Their movements seemed random, but had an unpredictable and ever-changing flow within them.
Small blades of space continuously cut the 11th Elder's body as their dance continued. Thousands of Damiens attacked him at the same time from every direction, not even giving him a second to pinpoint the position of the main body.
This was the glory of Dance of the Void. The phantom illusions weren't just afterimages produced by his speed, they were spatial phenomena caused by his rapid movement through and manipulation of the spatial layers.
It could be said that none of them were real at all, or that all of them were the real Damien at the same time.
Calling the technique a mere illusion technique? It was at that moment when Damien realized that the 11th Elder wasn't a standard for 4th class beings.
Frankly, he was subpar.
Damien shook his head and continued his assault. This fake 4th class wasn't worth his time. If he couldn't even stand against the 3rd form of his sword art, then a single Dimensional Severance would be enough to end him.
And so, that's exactly what Damien chose to do.
His blade pointed to the Heavens, as if trying to gather the power of all things. Pitch-black Void Essence covered the blade, concealed by a heavy coating of spatial mana that lay on top of it.
However, that was nothing. Even after these ingredients had been layered on top of the blade, the attack seemed to get more and more powerful without new additions.
Dimensional Severance wasn't a simple vertical slash combined with Void Essence. If it was just that much, it wouldn't have the right to its name.
When Damien said Dimensional Severance was the epitome of his comprehension of space, it wasn't a joke. Because that was exactly what he used to fuel his blade.
"Distance," "Destruction," "Vectors," "Expansion," "Compression," and many more conceptual fragments that made up the foundation of the concept of space itself, all of his comprehension of these concepts was poured into his blade.
It was a truly ethereal feeling to do so. Even Damien didn't quite understand how he was able to. After all, Dimensional Severance was created in a bout of enlightenment, and he was still riding that enlightenment every time he used it.
If he ever managed to understand the foundation and workings of the attack itself, its power would far outstrip what he could show today.
But even what he had now was enough to split Heaven and Earth in two.
'Void Sword Art Fifth Form: Dimensional Severance'
A thin black like, no bigger than the width of a piece of paper, traveled through space at a snail's pace. The 11th Elder had a mocking grin on his face as he saw it, causally moving to the side to avoid the slash.
But, strangely enough, no matter how he moved, that vertical slash was always directly in front of him, approaching to split him into two halves.
The 12th Elder frowned. This kind of trick, was it enough to cause his death? He was a 4th class! No matter how much effort a 3rd class put into their attack, it didn't change the fact that they couldn't connect with the laws of the world yet.
With a mocking look in his eyes, the 11th Elder pushed his mana.
'I'll show you what it means to enter the 4th class.'
An icy chill spread through the air. No, the chill spread through space itself. The shattered space that was just beginning to fix itself was frozen into ice crystals that fell to the ground.
But those crystals didn't shatter. No, they impacted the ground and turned the area a few hundred kilometers around the duo into an icy desert.
"Utilizing laws isn't something mere elements can compete against. Freezing space, freezing time, I can do it all! What, do you think this tiny attack can faze me?!"
The 11th Elder held out his hand, causing the icy blue mana to rush toward Damien's Dimensional Severance. Even though it was an attack, it looked like the 11th Elder was building a construct, since space froze around the mana whenever it came into contact.
But none of that mattered. It only took an instant for the icy mana to collide with the slash of Dimensional Severance.
As it did so, Damien smirked. "Laws? I can use those too."
And as if to prove his words, the thin black line of Dimensional Severance cut through the icy blue mana like paper. Contrasting its snail's pace from before, it reached the 11th Elder before he could even comprehend what had happened.
And then, it split him in two.

Harry Reid remembered as a fighter, skilled Senate dealmaker
Published 12:00 am Wednesday, December 29, 2021
By News Service Report

By LAURIE KELLMAN and KEN RITTER
LAS VEGAS (AP) — He was an accomplished amateur boxer who'd rather dance. But Harry Reid was fond of reminding his opponents that he knew how to fight, too.
That skill took him far — from poverty in Searchlight, Nevada, to the pinnacle of the U.S. Senate.
"I don't have people saying 'he's the greatest speaker,' 'he's handsome,' 'he's a man about town,' " Reid told The New York Times in 2010 after a hard-fought reelection victory. "But I don't really care. I feel very comfortable with my place in history."
Reid, who died Tuesday at 82 after a four-year battle with pancreatic cancer, was one of Congress' most skilled negotiators, thriving on the behind-the-scenes wrangling that frustrated many of his predecessors. As majority leader from 2007 to 2015, he kept the Senate in Democratic hands through a volatile era of polarizing health care and economic policy, recession and war, and with a Republican and then a Democratic president.
"If Harry said he would do something, he did it," President Joe Biden said in a statement after the death of his longtime Senate colleague. "If he gave you his word, you could bank on it. That's how he got things done for the good of the country for decades."
Not a showman, Reid sometimes got in his own way on the national political stage. He once called President George W. Bush a "loser," criticized Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan as a "political hack" and misstated the condition of ailing Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, who was then dying of brain cancer. He apologized to President Barack Obama for calling him "light-skinned" and having "no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."
Reid made an unproven political claim he refused to detract. During the 2012 presidential election he said on the Senate floor that GOP candidate and fellow Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints member Mitt Romney had not paid taxes for a decade. Romney denied that, and fact-checkers at the time found no evidence to support Reid's claim.
He was frequently underestimated. In his 2010 bid for reelection he looked like the underdog to tea party favorite Sharron Angle. Ambitious Democrats, assuming his defeat, began angling for his leadership post. But Reid defeated Angle, 50% to 45%.
Reid reluctantly retired rather than seek reelection in 2016 after an accident while he was exercising left him blind in one eye. His life after public office included a fellowship at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, law school and a role leading a new think tank at the school with former House Speaker John Boehner. The Ohio Republican and former congressional rival remembered Reid on Tuesday as "a fighter until the end."
Former President Bill Clinton, in a statement, called Reid "a canny and tough negotiator who was never afraid to make an unpopular decision if it meant getting something done that was right for the country." Obama released a letter he sent recently to Reid telling the ailing Democrat that "I wouldn't have been president if it hadn't been for your encouragement and support."
Reid was born Dec. 2, 1939, the son of an alcoholic hard-rock miner who killed himself at 58 and a mother who served as a laundress in a bordello. He grew up in a small cabin without indoor plumbing and swam with other children at a local brothel.
He hitchhiked to Basic High School in Henderson, 40 miles from his Searchlight home, where he met the woman he would marry, Landra Gould, in 1959; she and their five children survive him. At Utah State University, the couple became members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He put himself through George Washington University law school by working nights as a U.S. Capitol police officer.
At age 28, Reid was elected to the Nevada Assembly and at age 30 became the youngest lieutenant governor in Nevada history as Gov. Mike O'Callaghan's running mate in 1970. Elected to the U.S. House in 1982 and 1984 and to the U.S. Senate from 1986, Reid served in Congress longer than anyone else in Nevada history. In 1998 he held off Republican Rep. John Ensign by 428 votes after a recount that stretched into January.
After his election as Senate majority leader in 2007, Reid was credited with putting Nevada on the political map by pushing to move the state's caucuses to February, at the start of presidential nominating season. That forced each national party to pour resources into a state which, while home to the country's fastest growth over the past two decades, still only had six votes in the Electoral College.
Reid's extensive network of campaign workers and volunteers twice helped deliver the state for Obama.
The most influential politician in Nevada for more than a decade, Reid steered hundreds of millions of dollars to the state and was credited with single-handedly blocking construction of a nuclear waste storage facility at Yucca Mountain outside Las Vegas.
He often went out of his way to defend social programs, calling Social Security "one of the great government programs in history" and championing suicide prevention with the story of his own father. He stirred controversy in 2010 when he said in a speech on the floor of the Nevada legislature it was time to end legal prostitution in the state.
Reid's political moderation meant he was never politically secure in his home state or entirely trusted in the increasingly polarized Senate. Democrats grumbled about his votes for the Iraq war resolution in 2002, for a ban on so-called partial-birth abortion and against resolutions endorsing Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion.
He also voted against most gun-control bills and in 2013, after the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, dropped a proposed ban on assault weapons from the Democrats' gun control legislation. The package, he said, would not pass with the ban attached.
Reid's Senate particularly chafed members of the House, both Republicans and Democrats. When Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi muscled Obama's health care overhaul through the House in 2009, a different version passed the Senate and the reconciliation process floundered long enough for Republicans to turn it into an election-year weapon to demonize Pelosi and cast the legislation as a big-government power grab.
Obama signed the measure into law in March 2010. But angered by the Great Recession and inspired by the small-government tea party, voters swept Democrats from the House majority.
Reid hand-picked a Democratic candidate, former Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto, who won the election to replace him in 2016. He built a political machine in the state that helped Democrats win a series of key elections in 2016 and 2018.
Kellman, an Associated Press writer in Jerusalem, covered Congress during Reid's time as Senate majority leader. AP writers Michelle L. Price in New York and Scott Sonner in Reno, Nevada, contributed to this report.

"Catch" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Brett Young. It was released on June 3, 2019 as the second single from his second studio album Ticket to L.A. (2018). Co-written by Young, Ross Copperman and Ashley Gorley, the song is about a man getting drinks after work and being smitten by a girl at the bar. "Catch" gave Young his fifth consecutive number-one hit on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. It also reached numbers five and 29 on both the Hot Country Songs and Hot 100 charts respectively. It was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting sales of over one million units in the United States. The song also charted in Canada, reaching number three on the Canada Country chart and number 73 on the Canadian Hot 100. An accompanying music video for the single, directed by Seth Kupersmith, tells a semi-autobiographical story about Young's previous dream of playing in Major League Baseball ending after a career-ending injury and falling in love with his college girlfriend.

Critics of the team's name and logo said it was linked too closely with the medieval "crusades", a war between Christians and Muslims that spanned hundreds of years.
Emotion, respect and class: How Crusaders navigated Christchurch return
Crusaders bosses announced on Friday that the name wouldn't change but that the 25-year-old logo - of a medieval knight and sword - would be replaced by the Tohu, a Maori motif.
A joint statement between the Crusaders and NZ Rugby said their final decision was made after canvassing a broad range of the community and rugby stakeholders.
"While the main focus of the brand review was not the club's name, it did consider whether alternative name options would more accurately reflect the club's identity and story," the statement said.
"Ultimately, it was decided that no name better represented the club's commitment to living its values - crusading for social improvement and inclusiveness, and crusading with heart for our community and for each other - than 'Crusaders' did."
The team will play under a "holding brand" in 2020, with the new red and black logo to be fully introduced in 2021.
Crusaders chief executive Colin Mansbridge has repeatedly stressed the terrorist attack and the team should not be linked although the franchise had moved to quickly distance itself from the medieval definition of the name.
"When questions were raised after the 15th of March, we were shell-shocked, as was the whole community, and we were horrified our identity was connected to that event," Mansbridge told reporters.
"It's contrary to everything we stand for. As much as we thought we might not have liked it, we had to acknowledge the association had been made so it was time to go back to our DNA, our core of who we were."
The issue sparked considerable debate in New Zealand, with the Muslim community having said it would support any change to the team's name, although it had been reluctant to force the issue.
The team's horses, which have traditionally performed pre-game laps of the ground for home games ridden by "knights", will remain but the riders will wear a different garb.
Coach Scott Robertson's team recovered from the shock of the shootings to go on and win a third straight title in July. It was their 10th crown, seven more than any other team.


This year Langtons* released their fifth Classification of Australian wines. The first was in 1991 and they followed in 1993, 1998, 2002 and 2005. I rang Andrew Caillard to learn more about the criterion for inclusion.
The wine must have 'auction presence' and by this Andrew means a record of buyers and sellers, and a persistent volume so that a genuine market has been established. This may be a small market, as many of the wines are quite rare, but it is regular, with a consistent and orderly demand without wild fluctuations in price. This he calls 'consistency'. The wine must show a 'volume of demand', that is not artificial and by this he means that it is not the same two people trading stock so the value is maintained but in reality there is no volume. And then 'price realisation' which is a genuine price not one that is a temporary fashion and is the price a buyer pays to drink the wine.
Andrew sees the Classification as a market of opinion, with the classification set by the buyers and sellers. He hesitated when we asked about his influence and the view that follows is an interpretation we formed from a general discussion. As he has been auctioning wine for several decades plus he travels widely to wineries and tastes their best he may exercise some discretion, particularly at the introductory level known as Distinguished wines. Often emerging wines enter at this level of the Classification and as several may closely match the criterion it may be necessary to adjudicate. For example he acknowledged that for many years he knew it was only a matter of time before the great Barossa red styles would break through into the Classification.
We also learnt that the market has altered and many great white wines have dropped out not because their quality is any less but because the market is more focused on red wines.
Looking ahead to 2010 Andrew sees a stronger role for single vineyard wines particularly from Margaret River, Coonawarra and the Barossa. Definitely Coonawarra will come back and he feels Balnaves and Majella and possibly Parker Estate and Katnook could make the next Classification. He is worried by the cult wine scene and feels that wines must remain true to their place and not for example be 'Parkerised'. And lastly a word on our show judging circuit which he feels rewards 'safe not terrific' wines and indeed can reward blandness.
*For those not familiar with Langtons, they are Australia�s largest wine auction house.


I bought a neon pink pair a few years back and I would wear them with absolutely everything. Skinny jeans and DC shoes, denim skirts, tights... I loved them at the time, but it seriously makes me cringe now.
Oh gosh so many especially in the 90s, body warmers, massive orange puffer jackets, leggins as trousers with the straps where your feet go through....*slaps forehead* I'll never forgive my mum for some of stuff I've seen her make me wear in pictures!
my God. just... my God.
Blue velvet trousers with a mini skirt over the top ( ), bubble bag, a pink leather jacket.
Lol, I look at old photos and cringe. And I used to have a pink leather jacket too, tho it was the fake leather kind and looked like snake skin, it was soo popular I went to party aged like 8 or 9 and another girl had exactly the same jacket!
Oh how could I forget BELLY/TANK TOPS! Spice Girl and Britney Spears style!
i was gonna say this, but i loved them really.
I also shamelessly wore ultra-flared jeans with Chinese symbols down the side.
Why did I think this ever looked good?
What? :| Indie isn't a trend. Yeeesshhhh, get it right man!
lol.. like most girls on here i also made the dreaded mistake of having them trouser skirt things when i was little. They were baby pink!!!! and LYCRA!! ARRRGGHHH!!!
For one year only, labels. I was 18 and everyone at college was wearing labels so I got hold of a Ralph Loren shirt for what was about £80 in today's money. The shirt didn't look too good, felt awful but I had a "label" and drank in the trendy bars so therefore I was cool.
Would have been far cheaper to have ditched the vain fashion-conscious shysters far earlier - would have been a lot less painful in the longer term.
A bright pink t-shirt with a lemon on it.
Don't even ask me why.
would you put out if a guy bought you Uggs for Christmas?
Are Pauls Boutqiue bags out of fashion?
I despise men with jack-ups.
Should clothes be more expensive?


On December 10, the board visited Easterly Parkway Elementary (EPE) School. It was the first school visit which I attended. The visit was well attended by board members and administrators. Our host was EPE principal Brian Peters. Mr. Peters gave us an overview of the thoughts on education and explained some of the changes he's made in his short tenure there. He told us he employs what I would call a peer learning team experience in his faculty meetings, where groups of faculty read articles and share information and best practices with each other. My Penn State IT Leadership Program involved many of these type of activities and I'm a huge advocate for this style of learning.
Mr. Peters also uses the Penn State Professional Development School program extensively at EPE. This program is much more involved than a standard student teaching assignment and creates College of Ed graduates who are very prepared for a teaching career. One of the EPE teachers I spoke with was a PDS student at the school just last year.
All of the staff and students were welcoming. We ate the cafeteria lunch (I owe David because I forgot my wallet) and had a very good lunch discussion with Mr. Peters and those teachers who happened to be eating their lunches at the same time. I tried not to be too disruptive to instruction, but I did enjoy some of those candid classroom moments.
Thanks to Mr. Peters and his excellent staff and faculty. So far, this is the best part of being on the school board.

The Ādityavāra-vrata-kathā is a popular story in Digambara circles. It shows the good and bad results of observing or not observing the so-called 'Sunday vow'. This is one of the numerous vows – vratas – which a Jain can keep to counteract the misfortunes of life, to acquire merit and diminish the quantity of karma. Observing such a vow means fasting, worshipping and also listening to specific stories. Some vows are connected with a given day of the week.
In this tale seven brothers gain success after numerous adventures, by worshipping Jinas and Jain deities.
Jains believe that there are 24 Jinas in each complete cycle of time in the human world. A 'victor' in Sanskrit, a Jina is an enlightened human being who has triumphed over karma and the neverending cycle of births in which the soul is trapped. Also known as a Tīrthaṃkara or 'ford-maker', a Jina teaches the way to achieve liberation.
A 'victor' in Sanskrit, a Jina is an enlightened human being who has triumphed over karma and teaches the way to achieve liberation . A synonym for Tīrthaṃkara, which means 'ford-maker' or one who has founded a community after reaching omniscience through asceticism. The most famous 24 – Ṛṣabha to Mahāvīra – were born in the Bharata-kṣetra of the middle world , but more are found in other continents. There have been Jinas in the past and there will be some in the future.
Jīva
Sanskrit for 'self', 'soul' or 'that which is sentient'. It makes up the universe along with ajīva, or non-sentient material substance. It is a material substance that changes in size according to the body it inhabits in each life. It is born in different bodies in various places in the Jain universe based on karma from earlier lives. The soul is liberated from the cycle of birth when it has achieved spiritual purity and omniscience. Also called ātma or ātman.
Action or act, thought of as physical in Jainism. Created by mental or physical action, karma enters the soul, which then needs religious restraints and practices to make it flow out. Karma can be both:
negative – deriving from harmful acts
positive – arising from beneficial actions.
Both types of karma trap a soul in continual rebirth. A pan-Indian concept, karma has extremely complex, detailed and technical divisions and subdivisions in Jainism.
Kathā
Story, narrative literature.
Omniscience, enlightenment or perfect knowledge – the highest of the five types of knowledge , where one knows everything wherever and whenever it is. It is extremely difficult to attain, equivalent to the 13th stage of spiritual purity in the guṇa-sthāna. Digambaras believe only men can achieve it whereas Śvetāmbaras believe that both men and women can become enlightened.
Vows are extremely important in Jain religious life. Mendicants take the compulsory Five Great Vows – mahā-vratas – as part of their initiation – dīkṣā. Lay people can choose to take 12 vows, which are divided into:
aṇu-vratas – 'Five Lesser Vows'
guṇa-vratas – three supplementary vows
śikṣā-vratas – four vows of spiritual discipline
All of these vows are lifelong and cannot be taken back. The sallekhana-vrata is a supplementary vow to fast to death, open to both ascetics and householders.
Giving up or limiting food or specified foods for a period of time, usually as part of a religious practice. Fasting is a key part of Jainism, chiefly because it is believed to:
help destroy karmas that bind to the soul
gain merit – puṇya.
A classical language of India, originally used by priests and nobility. Sanskrit has a rich literary and religious tradition. With only a few thousand native speakers nowadays, it is predominantly used in Hindu religious ceremonies and by scholars.
Aḍhāī-dvīpa
The Hindi phrase for 'Two and A Half Continents' describes the only part of the universe where human beings live in the Middle World of Jain cosmology. It is made up of the central continent, Jambū-dvīpa, the second continent, Dhātakīkhaṇḍa, and Lavaṇa-samudra, the circular ocean that separates them. Kālodadhi is the ring of ocean around Dhātakīkhaṇḍa, dividing it from the 'half' continent, which is the inner part of the Puṣkara continent.

Q: How to open non integrated terminal window from vscode extension? I am developing an extension for Visual Studio Code. I need to open a terminal window and run some command there (One after another finishes). Same as Terminal.sendText but not in integrated terminal. Is there a way to do that?
Update
The closest I've got is using:
const childProcess = spawn('node', ['--version'],{
    shell: true,
    detached: true,
    windowsHide: false
});

And the problem is it closes automatically

Saw this on CL, but more interested to know if it is someone on our site, since they have GT/CS dash and steering emblems!
I just spoke to the seller. Nice guy. He has 2 California Specials, one is blue and the other is Highland Green.
He also has a '67 convertible that needs a console, so if you know where there is a '67 console for sale please let me know and I'll contact him.
Steve (rvrtrsh) the seller has met you a time or two.

Yes, I met him a few years ago at the Bellevue Mustang show. I believe he bought the car that was advertised from somewhere near Longview, Wa.
oh how I long for one of those!! They look so right!
They are looking for modification ideas for their car. Who better than you to spend their money!!!
Hey guys! Thx for watching! Is there anything you would change with the Cali? We're thinking about putting a 4 speed and doing some custom exhaust modifications this spring.
Send them my way!!! I am spending other peoples money at the speed of light this winter!!!
IMHO, $650 is too much. A good lower console should be $400 tops.
They're all the same whether it comes from SCJ, Deluxe interior or a 6 banger.
The bugaboo for consoles is finding a decent pad for the radio/storage area.
They are however different from AC cars and Convertibles.
Yes they are. But easily trimmed for either application.

Q: How to color a plot with a vector Suppose I have four dimensional data, i.e. at each point in the plane, I have two numbers associated with it. For example, {{{1,1},{f[1,1],g[1,1]}},{{1,2},{f[1,2],g[1,2]}},...}. My data would not make sense to plot as a vector field. Instead, I would like to color each point, where its darkness corresponds to the size of f, and its hue corresponds to g. So at the end of the day, it would look like a ContourPlot, where the ColorFunction takes the function values as input.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

A: Here is a solution that seems to work:
customColor[xx_, yy_] :=
 Blend[{Hue[0, 1, yy], Hue[0.2, 1, yy], Hue[0.4, 1, yy],
   Hue[0.6, 1, yy], Hue[0.8, 1, yy]}, xx]
dataTest = { {1, 1, 0.1, 0.3}, {1, 2, 1, 1}, {2, 1, 0.5, 0.1}, {2, 2,
    0.7, 0}};
Graphics[{customColor[#3, #4], Rectangle[{#1, #2}]} & @@@ dataTest,
 Frame -> True]


This procedure has been tested with Mac OS X 10.4.8 (Tiger) and should work for all Mac OS X versions.
