Cenerentola - Il gioco del destino (Cinderella III: A Twist in Time), intitolato anche Cenerentola III - Il gioco del destino, è un film d'animazione direct-to-video del 2007 diretto da Frank Nissen.

È il secondo sequel direct-to-video del Classico Disney del 1950 Cenerentola. Canonicamente è una continuazione del Cenerentola originale, piuttosto che di Cenerentola II - Quando i sogni diventano realtà (2002), anche se a causa della sua insolita sequenza cronologica esso riconosce gli eventi di quel film, utilizzando alcuni dei suoi personaggi.

Il film venne distribuito negli Stati Uniti il 6 febbraio 2007.

Trama
Per festeggiare l'anniversario di matrimonio tra Cenerentola e il Principe Azzurro, la Fata Smemorina decide di preparare una sorpresa per loro assieme a Giac e Gas con un pic-nic nella foresta. Nelle vicinanze tuttavia c'è la vecchia casa di Cenerentola, dove Anastasia e Genoveffa stanno amaramente sbrigando le faccende di casa al posto della giovane ragazza trasferitasi al castello.

Mentre scappa fuori per evitare il lavoro, Anastasia si imbatte nella bacchetta magica che Smemorina aveva perso e, nella lotta che ne segue, la trasforma accidentalmente in pietra. Lady Tremaine e Genoveffa, dopo essersi precipitate in giardino disturbate dal baccano creatosi, alla vista della bacchetta magica, decidono di darsi un'altra possibilità nel cambiare il loro destino. Lady Tremaine usa infatti la bacchetta per tornare indietro nel tempo con le figlie al giorno in cui il granduca aveva provato la scarpetta di cristallo su Cenerentola: la povera ragazza è ancora bloccata nella soffitta mentre Giac e Gas lottano con Lucifero per ottenere la chiave e così liberarla. Lady Tremaine, con l'aiuto della magia, espande la scarpetta in modo che si adatti su Anastasia, e tutte vengono portate al palazzo mentre esce Cenerentola, arrivata troppo tardi. Lady Tremaine rompe l'altra scarpetta che la fanciulla teneva in mano, il suo unico alibi, e la mette in guardia di tenersi lontana dal palazzo. Cenerentola però non si arrende e si intrufola nel palazzo con Giac e Gas.

Comprensibilmente, il principe si accorge che Anastasia non era la ragazza con cui aveva ballato, ma Lady Tremaine altera la sua memoria con la bacchetta e lui accetta Anastasia come sua sposa. Giac e Gas vedono questo da lontano e informano Cenerentola che la sua matrigna ha la bacchetta della Fata Smemorina. Cenerentola si traveste da cameriera per entrare nella stanza della matrigna, ma viene scoperta mentre i topi scappano con la bacchetta. Purtroppo, le "corrotte" guardie del palazzo catturano Cenerentola, poco prima di poter ripristinare la memoria del principe. La fanciulla tocca brevemente la mano del principe e lui comincia a riconoscerla, ma Lady Tremaine ordina che la ragazza venga messa sulla prossima nave che fosse partita dal regno. I topi trovano il principe e gli spiegano tutta la storia, e lui, dopo aver capito che Anastasia era la ragazza sbagliata, cavalca via per intercettare la nave proprio mentre lascia il porto. Cenerentola abbraccia il principe e le sue vere memorie tornano. Lui le chiede subito di sposarlo e lei accetta.

Il principe riporta Cenerentola al castello e spiega tutto al granduca e al re. Questo ordina che Lady Tremaine e le sue figlie vengano arrestate, ma loro riescono a fuggire usando la bacchetta. Il re dichiara le Tremaine come fuorilegge e ordina che vengano trovate. Tuttavia, Lady Tremaine non si arrende e, mentre Cenerentola si sta preparando per il matrimonio, lei esce con Anastasia, trasformata per magia in una copia di Cenerentola. Prima che Cenerentola possa agire, Lady Tremaine trasporta lei, Giac e Gas nel parco del castello, dove dovranno morire in una carrozza di zucca contorta con Lucifero come suo cocchiere, ma riescono a sconfiggerlo e a fuggire, lasciando il gatto incagliato nella foresta.

Cenerentola corre al castello mentre i voti sono in procinto di essere scambiati. Tuttavia, all'ultimo momento, la coscienza di Anastasia ha la meglio su di lei facendole rifiutare il principe, facendo infuriare la malvagia matrigna e la sorella. Escono allo scoperto e il re ordina di arrestarle, ma Lady Tremaine usa la bacchetta per respingere le guardie e trasformarle in animali. Mentre la donna si prepara a maledire Cenerentola e Anastasia, il principe usa la sua spada per riflettere la magia su Lady Tremaine e Genoveffa, che si trasformano in rospi e vengono trasportate nella cantina del castello. Recuperata la bacchetta, Anastasia torna alla sua forma originale e la cede a Cenerentola che, dopo averla ringraziata e perdonata, porta nella sala la Fata Smemorina, non più una statua. Vergognandosi, Anastasia restituisce al re una conchiglia preziosa che lui le aveva dato, ma il monarca le permette di tenerla, sulla base del fatto che tutti meritano il vero amore. La Fata Smemorina propone di invertire la linea temporale al suo stato originale, portandoli nella loro "vita precedente", ma Cenerentola e il principe, non capendo di cosa parli, continuano a guardarsi innamorati e la fata lascia perdere. Ancora una volta, i due si sposano e di nuovo "vissero per sempre felici e contenti".

Produzione
Questo film fu l'ultima produzione della Disney Australia (lo studio venne chiuso e le attrezzature messe all'asta una volta completata la produzione del film nel luglio 2006). A differenza del sequel precedente, Cenerentola II - Quando i sogni diventano realtà, che era stato in gran parte prodotto in Giappone (anche quello studio aveva chiuso poco dopo il completamento di Cenerentola II), agli animatori di Cenerentola: Il gioco del destino vennero dati fogli modello meticolosi e ampie sequenze live-action per il riferimento dell'animazione.

Colonna sonora
La colonna sonora viene rilascia il 2 marzo 2007 negli Stati Uniti, con le seguenti tracce:

 Perfectly Perfect - Cast
 More Than A Dream - Cinderella
 At The Ball - Jaq & GusGus
 At The Ball (Reprise) - Jaq & GusGus
 I Still Believe - Hayden Panettiere
 More Than A Dream (Pop Version) - Laura Dickinson
 A Love For All Time (Love Theme From Cinderella 3) - Joel McNeely

I brani originali contenuti nel corpo del film, tra cui "Che splendido anno", "Non è un sogno" ed "Era lei", vennero scritti dai frequenti cantautori Disney Alan Zachary e Michael Weiner. Hayden Panettiere eseguì la canzone dei titoli di coda, "I Still Believe", e un video musicale venne creato come contenuto speciale del DVD.

Distribuzione

Edizione italiana
L'edizione italiana del film venne curata dalla Disney Character Voices International. Il doppiaggio, eseguito dalla Royfilm, fu diretto da Leslie La Penna, autore anche dei dialoghi. I testi italiani delle canzoni sono di Lorena Brancucci, e la direzione musicale è di Ermavilo. Il cast vocale del film precedente torna quasi al completo, con tre cambiamenti:
 Melina Martello sostituisce la defunta Angiolina Quinterno nel ruolo di Lady Tremaine;
 Silvia Pepitoni sostituisce Maria Cristina Brancucci nelle parti cantate della Fata Smemorina;
 Rossella Ruini sostituisce Renata Fusco nelle parti cantate di Cenerentola.

Doppiaggio

Accoglienza
Cenerentola - Il gioco del destino ha ricevuto un'accoglienza generalmente positiva tra gli otto critici raccolti da Rotten Tomatoes, che gli ha dato un punteggio del 75%.

Lo scrittore della rivista Slate Dan Kois utilizzò Cenerentola - Il gioco del destino per difendere i meriti dei sequel direct-to-video della Disney, dopo che la Disney aveva annunciato di stare eliminando la produzione di qualsiasi altro sequel. Kois sottolinea che in Cenerentola - Il gioco del destino la sorellastra malvagia (Anastasia) - in origine una "balorda caricatura" - diventa finalmente un personaggio completamente concretizzato, e alcune delle assurdità del film originale vengono gentilmente prese in giro.

Molti hanno notato numerose similitudini tra la premessa del film e quella di Twice Charmed: An Original Twist on the Cinderella Story, un musical teatrale in stile Broadway creato dalla Walt Disney Creative Entertainment che attualmente viene eseguito sulla Disney Cruise Line.

Edizioni home video

DVD
La prima edizione DVD del film uscì in Italia il 27 marzo 2007. La seconda edizione DVD è uscita il 12 settembre 2012, insieme con la prima edizione BD. In questa seconda edizione il titolo del film è stato modificato in Cenerentola III - Il gioco del destino.

Blu-ray
La prima edizione BD del film è uscita in Italia il 12 settembre 2012. Il BD, disponibile solo in un cofanetto con la Diamond Edition di Cenerentola, contiene entrambi i sequel.

Have any of you installed an android stereo in your car? How did it go? I am looking the Android car stereo to install in my car. How about the Seicane Android car stereo?
Was looking at this earlier. They have a harness that can use with our C5. But funds are low now so KIV first. You can email them at the link in the video.
Too bad we are right hand drive. Else we can buy those dashboard integrated android head unit from Taobao.


Mara and recently acquired friends her 'keys' to doing the move from city to country successfully.
Not long after purchasing our land, on Radio National, I heard an interview with Tammi Jonas from Jonai farm and discovered my neighbour was a free range pork producer (read all about Tammi in the latest issue of Pip). Immediately I emailed her and expressed pure joy at having her as my neighbour. I signed up to Jonai's Community Supported Agriculture Deliveries and now bask in the pleasure of her produce.
Around that time our family had dropped in on Captain's Creek Organic Farm for a drink, a five minute drive from our new home and discovered their organic produce box. Today once a week at our front door arrive vegetables in a film of volcanic goodness.
Moving to the country, I feared I would never ride my bike again. The Calder Highway with its lengthy steep ascents was not for me. I decided I would door knock Daylesford locals to ask for a bike adobe. If I could park my bike on the edge of town then an agreeable bike riding distance could be achieved. Well before door knocking took place one of our builders offered to host my Yuba Mondo at his partners gorgeous permaculture house.
I was eager to meet as many locals as possible. In Melbourne I had cultivated a strong and wonderful community. It was rare for me to venture out and not bump into someone I knew. I thrive on community and on daily interactions with both strangers and those I know well.
By dropping in on neighbours along my street I met Mara, a circus performer and permaculture gardener, Carol a conservationist and animal rescue carer and Danny a young farmer making Portuguese tarts with home grown eggs and delicious pork panini.
It occurred to me that the value of our land was far greater than what we had paid, as our neighbours were priceless!
At a book launch at the Daylesford Community Gardens I met authors and bike enthusiasts Meg and Patrick (Pip Magazine's resident weed expert). During drinks a gorgeous woman introduced herself and on finding that I was new suggested we have coffee together the next day. At her home we entangled ourselves in sourdough bread baking stories and I ate her flavour saturated dried fruit as we promised to see each other at the opening of the Creswick Farmers Arms.
Within a short period of time I had found community and begun rewarding friendships, and now I feel the comfort that comes from knowing my neighbours are caring open minded people striving to improve the world.
My bike is at hand but my gardening is slow. So for the moment that is what I am focussing on, as trees take a long time, and with few herbs and no quince tree to harvest in May, life is simply a little less tasty, but full of friends!

Q: SNAT problem in iptables I am trying to reroute traffic from specific devices in my house over openvpn. For this, I've created an OpenVPN tunnel between my house wifi router and my server.
Here is my setup:
Wifi router's outgoing interface IP: 192.168.1.102
Wifi router's openvpn tun0: 10.8.0.2
Server's openvpn tun0: 10.8.0.1

My PC                   WiFi                                          Server
                              ,- 10.8.0.2(tun0)    10.8.0.1(tun0) --.
                             |                                      |  _
 __  _                       '                 .-,(   ),-.          ' |-|
[__]|=|    wireless     ___|_      VPN      .-(           )-.   VPN   |=|
/::/|_|  <- - - - - >  [__...]  < - - - >  (    internet     ) < - >  |=|
                          .                 '-(          ).-'         "^"
                          |                    '-.(  ).-'
                          `-- 192.168.1.102

Server's iptable configuration:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o tun0 -m state --state RELATED, ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i tun0 -o eth2 -j ACCEPT

Wifi router's configuration (with a new routing table openvpn-route):
ip route add default via 10.8.0.1 dev tun0 table openvpn-route
ip rule add fwmark 0x1 table openvpn-route
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -m mac --mac-source aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa -j MARK --set-mark 1
iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -o tun0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j SNAT --to 10.8.0.2

Now whenever I access sites from my laptop, I see traffic going to wifi router's tun device and from there to the server. However, the SRC IP address of the traffic is 192.168.1.102 (outgoing interface IP of the wifi router). Because of this, I think the server ignores this traffic.
When I look at how many packets matched SNATing rule to change SRC IP to 10.8.0.2, I see that count as zero. So that rule is not getting matched for any packet.
How can I fix this?

In Honor of Alex Trebek
Marc Petock
As a long-time Jeopardy fan, the passing of its host, Alex Trebek marked an end of an era.
The show debuted in 1964 with Alex gaining the host seat in in 1984. There have been in excess of 8,000 episodes aired. Some other data points about the show:
The record for "most consecutive games won" is 74.
The most cash won by a single player to date is $4,688,436.
The highest one-day winning total is $131,127.
The show has global adaptations in 33 countries.
So, what does this have to do with us? Nothing.
It did, however, give me pause and think about our industry and what questions could be asked if there were a Built Environment /Building Control and Automation category on the show.
So, here are a few tidbits to remember in the "History of Building Automation" category:
1883-Warren Johnson, a schoolteacher from Milwaukee and founder of Johnson Controls, invented the thermostat.
1884-the modern light switch was invented.
The first sign of an automated HVAC system came in the 17th century with Cornelis Drebbel. Drebbel created a mercury thermostat that could automatically keep a space at a constant temperature.
In the 18th century, René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur, a French scientist created a temperature-controlled incubator based on Drebbel's ideas and the thermometer that Réaumur invented.
1925-Nicolas Minorsky invented the PID controller with the same principle being applied to create the first analog device for controlling the feed temperature of heating systems
The rise of digital computers in the 20th century were also integral to the advancements made in building automation technology, resulting in the modern building automation that we see today.
During the 1960's, the first sign of building IoT was realized when an engineer from Westinghouse Electric developed a prototype computer that managed air conditioning, did accounting tasks and managed shopping lists.
1969 saw the introduction of commercial programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
1979/1980-Pneumatic and analog systems began to be displaced by direct digital control. Also, ethernet became a cost-effective, and universally accepted standard for exchanging data.
The advent of non-proprietary standards began with the introduction of BACnet in 1987.
1998 and 1999-Connectivity of building systems took off with the Internet and the debut of Wi-Fi.
1999-The Niagara Framework was launched.
2005-Building automation and the integration of different systems begins its acceptance along with the" smart building".
The Cloud and building automation hook up in 2008.
Project Haystack was introduced to the industry in March 2011.
We spend more than 90 % of our lives in buildings.
The installed base of connected devices deployed as part of IoT-based building automation in smart and connected commercial buildings will reach 483 million units in 2022.
The number of cellular connections in the building automation market will grow at a CAGR of 44% and reach 19.4 million in 2022.
An effective preventive maintenance program can provide a savings of 12% to 18% cost savings over a reactive maintenance program.
By 2022, 75% of all data will need analysis and action at the Edge.
Commercial building energy can be cut by an average of 29% using controls already installed in most large commercial buildings.

So, what is and who is?
To Alex Trebek--Godspeed!

Talking less about VN Kickstarters and more about Kickstarters for games in general.
Dai Gyakuten Saiban episode 3-4 has been translated!
Surprised I haven't seen anyone here post about the DGS translation project, but just in case anyone is interested I wanted to let you all know. Scarlet Study has been translating the game for a while now, and after not having any releases for around 10 months they finally dropped episode 3-4 the other day. And on top of that, they made the translation for the Android port of the game as well, so it's much easier to get ahold of it. Apparently the final case shouldn't take nearly as long to release, so the game should be finished soon! Anyone else happen to play this yet? Gonna be picking up the game in a few days on no life-ing it for a week or so.
Abby is nice, but is kinda outclassed by Hokusai. That third skill is just so OP, so much defense reduction.
So I started the game last night and finished the prologue, and wanted to do all the other routes before Ai's. Was going to follow the walkthrough but I have already entered Ai's route before the walkthrough is even supposed to start? Reloaded the save to pick a different option and it put me on Sae's afterstory. I'm pretty confused, is the walkthrough incorrect or am I missing something? Do I have to go down Ai's route to start the other two? Edit: Figured it out. There are a couple choices before the date where the walkthrough starts that determine which route you go down.
There's just so much to choose from, so i'd love some recommendations. I have a few things i'm looking for Romance - which is going to be in most games so that shouldn't be an issue Length - at least 30-50 hours, the longer the better Routes - would like to have a few, never been a huge fan of linear stuff No BL/otome - just not my thing No nukige - not what i'm looking for at the moment No utsuge - drama is fine, some darker tones are also fine (ex. Grisaia, G-senjou) but i'm not really looking to throw myself into despair That's about it, any recommendations are welcome!
I do want to mention that i'm not specifically looking for something like DI. In fact, something different would probably be preferred so I don't get burnt out on the genre.

Whether you are a long distance rambler, a hilltop hiker, a Sunday stroller, a fanciful footslogger or an enthusiastic pedestrian preferring to explore urban or village life, walking in the Peak District is for you.
The Peak District is carefully managed by the National Park Authority and local Councils, with the emphasis on providing a safe and enjoyable environment whilst successfully retaining a balance between visitors and the conservation and preservation of its countryside, flora, fauna and wildlife.
The majority of paths, tracks and rights of way are clearly way-marked and have accessible stiles or gates which are well maintained and regularly monitored. Erosion of popular paths is controlled by introducing hard-wearing protection such as the thousands of Yorkshire slabs which have been painstakingly laid over several moors and popular paths in the Dark Peak area. Not only do these protect the landscape, but they also make walking across bleak and hazardous moorland much safer and more accessible.
The Peak District and Derbyshire are criss-crossed by recognised routes and paths for ramblers such as The Limestone Way, The Midshires Way, The Pennine Bridleway, The Derwent Valley Heritage Way and the southernmost stretch of the famous but indomitable Pennine Way. Then there are the disused railway lines running through the heart of the White Peak countryside which have been utilised and transformed into the Tissington Trail, the Monsal Trail and High Peak Trail.
Derbyshire may not have a coastline, but we make up for it with massive reservoirs set in scenically beautiful countryside, where you can find many waterside paths and tracks that are easy to follow and some which are pushchair and wheelchair friendly. A visit to Carsington Water in the south of the region can provide a whole day of entertainment, especially if you decide to walk the 8-mile lap around the Water's edge. Ladybower, Derwent and Howden Reservoirs can be found in the Dark Peak, set amidst wooded valleys beneath heather clad moors dotted with the occasional boulder and outcrop of gritstone rocks that have strange sounding names like The Salt Cellar or Cakes of Bread. A Walk in the Peak District here is a far different prospect.
Peak District towns and villages are steeped in history and character, with some offering walk guides for visitors to wander around at will and to explore, investigate or just appreciate the wonderful architecture, curiosities and to hopefully gain an insight into Derbyshire past and present.
Local Councils and the Peak Park Authority are actively encouraging more people to venture outdoors to appreciate the social and wellbeing benefits. There are now regular 'guided health walks' from leisure centres at various locations about the county and organised hikes and rambles which are free of charge and lead by rangers or qualified leaders. There are also several independent guided walk providers in the Peak District, offering a variety of guided walks from a simple stroll around some of Derbyshire's treasures; a luxurious 'picnic walk' in the heart of the countryside to a carefully arranged and prepared walking holiday or a team bonding exercise for informal groups. By clicking on the entries below you can wander around our website to prepare for your Walk in the Peak District. We have provided some general 'what you need to know' information that should help you to have a happy and enjoyable walk. There is also a selection of walks for you to download and follow, which have been compiled by competent and experienced writers. However, if you do not feel confident enough to venture out alone, or would simply like to be guided around the beauty spots by an informative and friendly guide, then click on our Guided Walk section for further details.
Whatever you choose, enjoy your walk!
Why not stay in one of the hundreds of Peak District Cottages we have to offer and walk every day if you want!


Cat Lover Zone - Everything About Cat - wealth of practical advice and information on cat types, cat grooming, cat breeding, cat showing, cat care including cat pictures and videos.
Blacker than black, this cat is possessed of a truly remarkable coat that is often described as having the sheen of patent leather. It is named for the city of Bombay because of its resemblance to the Indian black leopard.
The breed was created in the US in the 1950s by crossing a Burmese and an American Black Shorthair. It has not yet achieved recognition in Great Britain.
The Bombay rarely stops purring, craves human companionship, and dislikes being self alone. It is quite happy to spend its entire life indoors.
Still relatively rare outside the US, this cat's elegant good looks should ensure it a wider popularity in the near future.
Color should be a gleaming jet black and the fur short and close-lying.
Should be medium in length.
Medium in length, in proportion to the body.
The paws should be small and oval with black pads.
Rounded, with a full face that should taper to a short, well-developed muzzle with black nose pad.
Round, set far apart, and should range in color from gold to vivid copper.
Should be medium-sized, broad at the base with gently rounded tips. Ears are set far apart and should tilt forward slightly.

It was a very insightful first week back for the commission of inquiry into state capture, when it resumed its public hearings on Monday after a month-long break. Between the testimonies of former public enterprises minister Barbara Hogan and former government spokesperson Mzwanele Manyi, South Africans were given a lot to think about.
Hogan did not hold back on detailing events that occurred in her 18-month stint as minister – events that contributed directly to the breakdown of the relationship between herself and former president Jacob Zuma, and led to her removal from Cabinet in late 2010. Zuma's interference in the appointment of leadership in state-owned enterprises (SOEs) – which fell under Hogan's portfolio at the time – drove a wedge between the pair, both of whom have deep roots in the ruling party.
If Zuma was not imposing a compromised Siyabonga Gama on Hogan and the Transnet board, he was unilaterally making decisions about the future of Eskom and its then CEO Jacob Maroga, at a time when the latter was not on good terms with the board of the power utility. On her last day of testimony on Wednesday, Hogan decried the culture within the public service, of devaluing competent, hardworking public servants in favour of cadre deployment. A case in point, she said, was the lack of consideration for the contribution that Sipho Maseko would have brought to Transnet. Maseko was recommended by the board, but subsequently overlooked while Gama's fate was being debated between Zuma, the board and Hogan. Maseko later withdrew his candidacy, and now leads Telkom. Gama was investigated by Transnet for allegations of misconduct relating to a major contract while CEO of its freight rail subsidiary Transnet Freight Rail – he was later cleared, and became Transnet group CEO in 2011.
Similarly, it was Zuma who insisted on Eskom retaining Jacob Maroga, despite the view of the board that he was not meeting the strategic requirements of the company. Maroga, however, sealed his own fate when he insulted Hogan and the board in a letter. After receiving the go-ahead from Zuma to return to his post following a period of special leave, he wrote that he reports only to Zuma and no one else. The ANC intervened and Maroga was removed.
South African Airways (SAA) too did not escape interference, according to Hogan. She shed some light on how a lucrative route of the carrier became an issue of contention when it appeared threatened with capture by an Indian-based competitor. Jet Airways began lobbying for the Johannesburg-Mumbai route some months before Hogan's dismissal. Then SAA board chair Cheryl Carolus told Hogan there had been rumours for some time of the route's possible termination. In her August testimony before the Zondo commission, former ANC MP Vytjie Mentor said the issue of the route had surfaced during a conversation between herself and businessman Ajay Gupta when he offered her Hogan's position. Gupta allegedly told her at the time, also in 2010, that if she did become minister, she would be required to terminate the route.
Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, the commission chairperson, asked Hogan if she would be available to compile a report that could help direct the commission in its final recommendations. To this, Hogan agreed, citing the importance of change in the current business model defining the shareholder (government) role in the running of SOEs, as well as the protection and rehabilitation of whistle-blowers, who have been severely compromised, she said, by processes that should protect them.
As soon as Hogan was done, it was the turn of Manyi. The former CEO of Government Communications and Information System (GCIS) presented himself in response to a subpoena by the commission to clarify two issues in which he was implicated by his successor, Phumla Williams, in her testimony. Williams had reported that Manyi sent her a text message during a break in proceedings on her second day of testimony, to try to intimidate her out of implicating him in alleged irregularities at GCIS that facilitated capture of the institution. Manyi was also to clarify structural changes he allegedly made, which Williams said were not in the best interest of GCIS.
Manyi said he would not apologise for having sent the text, as he merely wanted Williams to emphasise that events she was referring to at that point in her testimony happened before Manyi joined GCIS. He wasted no time in slating Williams, questioning her intentions in testifying, as she clearly chose to omit important factors that she was privy to, with regard to the changes he brought. He likened the GCIS's procurement structure to a "mini VBS", where conflict of interest and irregular, fraudulent contracting occurred.
Events and their timelines, said Manyi, were important for the records of the commission. He then detailed the circumstances around a dodgy contract that was investigated – at his behest – by National Treasury, found to be irregular, and stopped. The contract, said Manyi, was worth R26-million, and the only document recording the relationship between GCIS and the contractor, had Williams's signature on it. She had not been mandated in the role of signing off on contracts at the time.
Manyi returns to the inquiry on 23 November to answer to other questions, including his apparent role in the bankrolling of Gupta-owned TNA Media, at the expense of GCIS, during his tenure.
As far as procedural matters go, three postponements were discussed in the week. First up was Duduzane Zuma, who arrived on Wednesday at the request of the commission. His legal representative Piet Louw brought forward a grievance that Duduzane had travelled from abroad to cross-examine former deputy finance minister Mcebisi Jonas, while Jonas had applied for a postponement due to his unavailability. The commission granted the postponement, and he will appear on 26 November for cross-examination.
Further postponements were also granted for the return of Mentor and former finance minister Nhlanhla Nene. Mentor will reappear on 30 November to give more information on elements of her initial testimony that the commission has since investigated. Nene, on the other hand, applied for his postponement on medical grounds and on his doctor's instructions, could only avail himself from January next year.
The inquiry resumes on Monday 19 November, with the expected testimony of public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan.


It is not fully lined so it is lightweight. French seams make it super sturdy, it will even hold 2 gallons of milk! I added a small piece of elastic at the bottom so it can be easily rolled up and tucked away in my diaper bag.
It is perfect for trips to the store, bringing packages to the post office, carrying books home from the library... I love this bag!
Start by downloading and printing my pattern found in the link above. Cut out the pattern pieces and tape them together by following the directions on the pattern. You can overlap them a bit.
Stack your fabric for the outside of the bag and fold it in half longways (this way you only have to cut once). Iron along the fold. Fold your lining fabric into quarters and iron your folds. Line your pattern up on the fold, trace it and cut it out.
See those two small lines on the bottom of the pattern, copy those onto your fabric, you only need them on one side.
Finish the bottom edge of the lining. If you have a serger, across the edge. If you don't fold the edge up 1/4" on the wrong side of the fabric and iron, fold it up another 1/4" iron and then sew along the hem.
Cut little slits in the seam allowance along the curves, be careful not to snip your stitches.
Turn one side of the bag right side out and iron the seams. Place it on top of the other side with the lining side up on both.
Feed the top of the right side out one into the top of the inside out one. Line up the top of the handles and pin in place. Sew across the top of both handles, I like to go back and forth a few times so it is pretty strong.
Now flip the other side right side out, your bags should be attached! Top stitch across the top of the handles, around the big circle in the middle and the curves on the outsides.
Line up the sides of your bag, you want the wrong sides together because you are going to make french seams. Pin the sides and sew them together with a 1/4" seam allowance. Do not sew the cut outs in the corners yet!
Trim your seam allowance on the bottom and sides to about 1/8". Be careful not to cut off the elastic you just sewed on!
Sew along the sides again with 1/4" seam allowance. When you finish, your raw edges should be encased in the seam.
Almost done! Now we will finish the corners... Flip the bag right side out again. Pinch at tho top corner of the corner cut out on both sides and pull the sides apart. It should go straight across now.
Line up you side seams and pin in place. Sew across the corner and trim your seam allowance to 1/8".
Flip your bag inside out, iron the corner seam and then sew over it with 1/4" seam allowance.
Flip your bag right side out and you are done!
To roll up your bag: lay it flat, tuck the sides in and pull the bottom out, fold it in half and then in half again, start rolling from the handles, stretch the elastic around the rolled bag to keep it in place.
I keep saying I'm going to make a bag! This one is so cute and i love your fabric! In love with the size and the use of the elastic too! Thanks for the pattern!
Great little market bag! I made one this summer with friends and now am making 2 more for my granddaughters to carry their books to & from the library! Thanks for the tutorial!
I am sending this link out to the ladies in my modern quilt guild. We are making reusable grocery bags for a donation effort, and so far this is the best tutorial I have found. Thanks for putting this together! Great bag.
This bag was fast to make and turned out really well. I love the French seams--they look so professional! I'm planning to make several more to give as a Christmas gift to my mother-in-law, who lives in an area where plastic bags have recently been banned. Thanks so much for the detailed and easy to follow tutorial!
Thank you for this tutorial. I have just sewn three bags for my children's teachers as Christmas presents.
You can make it fully lined just by using the outside bag template for the lining fabric. I followed the same instructions too and it worked great!
Hi crystal...i just finished making this shopping bag and i love it! It was easy and quick and turned out awesome with no exposed seams. I didnt print off the pattern...i just drew it up from your pics. Thank you so much for posting this tutorial!
Great pictures and directions! Thank you!!
Super easy and practical!! This is a pattern I will be using over and over again! I modified it to become a fully lined bag as I was aiming for a sturdier library bag, and added a pocket on the outside for keys. Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial! God bless!
I made one yesterday, then taught my girls at church how to make them last night. Such a cute bag and quite easy. Thank you!!!
Nice tutorial. I like it, Thanks for sharing.
That looks amazing! Thanks for your post.
Does anyone know the finished size of this tote?
Just made mine. Thanks for the tutorial.
Awesome post!!! I am very interested in your blog. I am planning to start doing this one. Thanks for sharing.
I am new to downloading patterns and using them. I made some burp cloths with a downloaded pattern (successfully) but the pattern did have a one inch block on it to make sure the printout was to scale. I downloaded your pattern, printed it, taped it together and cut it out. Unfortunately, the bag is very small--there was a lot of fabric around the pattern. I see that yours goes nearly to the edge of what I assume is a fat quarter. How do I adjust this pattern to try again? I sure would appreciate if anyone could help me with that. I do like the pattern and thanks for posting it.
Awesome post!!! best for healthy life style also. I am very interested in your blog.
I made one today and now I want to make several more out of different fabrics. Thanks for the wonderful tutorial!
I made these as Xmas gifts everyone loved them! My brother wants a larger one. Any I ideas on making this pattern bigger.
Thinking of used jeans for this with seams exposed, hippy style.cut out the Pocket and sew to the bag.
I have been making these recently and I love them. They're a great size and super strong! I'm going to try making a mini version now, we'll see how it goes. Thank you for the fabulous pattern and tutorial!!!
Did you pre-wash your fat quarters? Do I need to be worried about shrinkage if I don't pre-wash and end up having to wash the bag later?
Check your print settings. You don't want "fit to page". Print full size.
I did print size "100%" and when I taped it together, the pattern is longer than a fat quarter. Can you add a ruler or 1x1" square to the pattern?
I also found mine was too small. I printed the pattern out 'landscape' and it was much bigger. I hope this helps.
I cannot find the link for the template...Please help!!!
I think my pages didnt print right, so mine came out kinda small. I'll probably use it as a lunch tote to take to work. Or if I ever need just a few things from the store. It came out pretty good though! I've never done French seams before so it was great to learn!
I had the same problem, when you print be sure your printer is set at "actual size" and print horizontal and you will get the correct size pattern which is twice as big as my first bag!
Thank you for a great pattern , my friends are asking me to make them some.
I've made a dozen of these so far and given half away... have another six cut out and ready to sew. Passed long the link for this tutorial to several sewing friends as well. Love these grocery bags... they hold much more than a plastic bag because they're sturdier... cut the number of bags I needed for my first grocery run in half at least. Another benefit is that the handles do not cut into your arm while you're carrying laden bags into the house... yea!
out of fruit or vegetable print fabric. Thank you!
I made a couple for myself and loved them, I have now made a couple for quite a few of my friends. This bag is perfect to pop in your purse especially since they got rid of single use plastic bags in NSW.
Nice bag making. The process is really so great.
Can anyone break down the part where the handle are being sewn together for the 1st time??
I placed the sides on top of each other as instructed and fed the ride side one into the inside out one but once they were attached I couldnt get the inside one, right side out.
I love the pattern!!! I just could figure our the handle part.. so instead I placed both sides right side out and sew the handles together at the top with wrong sides together and it just makes them look cluttered. I would love to learn how they are suppose to be done. Any help would be appreciated.

MEDC Approves $200,000 performance-based grant for St. Clair County Manufacturer – Michigan Metal Coatings
Today, the Michigan Strategic Fund (MSF) in cooperation with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) announced the approval for a $200,000 performance-based grant for Michigan Metal Coatings. The company, headquartered in Port Huron, Michigan, will be purchasing an additional 66,375 square feet to expand operations, creating approximately 41 new jobs and investing up to $11,000,000 in St. Clair County, Michigan.
The Michigan Business Development Program is available to eligible businesses that create qualified new jobs and/or make qualified new investment in Michigan. Michigan was in competition with Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky for this project.
"We realize the importance of logistics and value in being close to your customers. Recognizing that some of the company's customers may be located in southern states, we are grateful to the MSF Board and MEDC for approving an incentive to help keep Michigan Metal Coatings right here in Port Huron, Michigan. We are pleased that Michigan Metal Coatings finds our region a great place to do business and plans to remain in the area. We look forward to the company's continued growth," said Mayor of the City of Port Huron, Pauline Repp.
Michigan Metal Coatings, is an ISO 9001:2015 certified company with an A2LA accredited laboratory, and is a leader in the application of chromium free, corrosion resistant coating systems. The company provides metal finishing services to large automotive OEMS as well as servicing non-automotive industries.
"The MEDC and St. Clair EDA have been important partners in ensuring the Michigan Metal Coatings expansion in Port Huron is realized. We look forward to continuing this partnership and continued growth in Port Huron," said Jay Dusenberry, Strategic Planning Manager for Michigan Metal Coatings.
The Economic Development Alliance has worked closely with Michigan Metal Coatings through the years, including assisting the company in relocating their operations to Port Huron in 2006 and the company's equipment investments in 2013 and 2014. "Since opening their Port Huron operations, Michigan Metal Coatings has become a leading corporate citizen for Port Huron and St. Clair County," says Bruce Seymore, EDA Director of Business and Community Services. "We are excited to be able to work with Michigan Metal Coatings on their recent expansion, which shows the company is committed to retaining and creating jobs for our residents."


A caper involving a missing Chick-Fil-A inflatable cow has a happy ending — both for the franchise owner and the man who found it.
The Chick-Fil-A inflatable cow holding an "Eat Mor Chikin" sign had been displayed at an Arizona State University football game, but after the store's team packed it up, the cow disappeared from the back of Phil Thomas' company truck.
"This is the only 24-foot inflatable cow in the state of Arizona," Thomas, owner of two Tempe-area Chick-Fil-A franchise locations, told Fox 10.
Through Phoenix's Fox 10, Thomas offered a reward: free Chick-Fil-A sandwiches for a year for the person who could bring the 350-pound cow home.
Luckily, someone spied the cow in a local backyard and called it in. When police paid a visit to the yard in question, the resident said he got it at a garage sale, where he thought he was buying a bouncy house.
ABC15 reports the cow has been returned to the local franchisee.
We do not know the identity of the honorable tipster, but we salute his newly achieved chicken-sandwich habit.
Your Turn: What is your most regrettable garage-sale purchase?

GARY WINDO – Dogface
Europa 1982 / Gonzo 2013
GARY WINDO –
Dogface
Unsung hero of British brass brilliance goes for a howl and a haul of a canine-themed bender.
For all his jazz brilliance, the great late Gary Windo had always been a rocker who used to play with the likes of Keith Tippett, Hugh Hopper and Robert Wyatt, almost joining the latter's MATCHING MOLE, but it would be a different kind of animal which the saxophonist chose as a totem for his solo debut. Recorded during Windo's second stint in the USA, "Dogface" is a kaledoscope of various line-ups – some, like THE WOOFS, shaped in the studio and named on the spot; other, such as NRBQ, powerful enitites in their own right – bent on celebrating, as the album's title suggests, a man's best friend. Jam-based as they are, the electric madness of "The Husky" and "Rex And Spot Meet The International Bitches" betraying its provenance, eleven pieces on offer sparkle with spontaneity throughout.
The spark is always there, be it the aforementioned originals or a glorious take on Sister Rosetta Tharpe's "That's All" that somehow hints at her immortal "Hound Dog" and throws a ball to the swinging "Don't Be Cruel" after having a ball with "Feela Dog" by Rufus Thomas that, of course, rewrites a certain kind of walkin'. Yet "Puppy Kisses" sets it rolling, just like "Lassie Breaks Out" finishes it off, in quite an unhinged fashion, as the leader unfolds his wild solo over a fusion funky groove, while his wife Pam's piano boogies down lightly, as do NRBQ on the elegant "Baxter" and "Guard Duty" which they composed especially for this project in a juke joint style for Gary to add, respectively, some breeze and sleaze to. The lame military march of "Hound" fares much tighter until it breaks into Latinesque dance and brass rumination, one to be ruined by the title track's hilarious chant.
Given the meaning of "dogface," it's rather logical but keeping it straight is, fortunately, impossible as killing the buzz would be a major crime. A special record on all fronts, then.

DIALETO – The Last Tribe


Philadelphia's controversial new soda tax offers a lesson in the unintended consequences of "sin" taxes, in (what public-finance scholars call) the border-tax problem, and in tax incidence.
(2) The soda tax is a citywide tax: it doesn't apply even one foot outside the city limits of Philadelphia. The smaller the political jurisdiction in which a tax is applied, the more susceptible is the tax to the border-tax problem—the willingness of citizens to avoid taxes on purchases by making their purchases outside the taxed jurisdiction. Here, according to the linked article, Philadelphians aren't reducing their soda consumption because of the tax; they are reducing their soda purchases in Philadelphia because of the tax—making their soda purchases instead in nearby cities and towns.
(3) Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney has made many statements criticizing soda distributors (on whom the city's soda tax is nominally levied) for passing this tax on to retailers (who have, in turn, passed it on to consumers) in the form of higher prices. He impugns the soda distributors' character for not simply swallowing the tax in the form of a diminished bottom line. However, just as the intentions of political authorities don't determine how consumers respond to a tax, those intentions also don't govern who, ultimately, pays the tax. Economists call this tax incidence. Among the factors influencing the incidence of a tax is the price-elasticity of demand for the taxed product. Because the price-elasticity of demand isn't controlled by political authorities, neither is the incidence of the tax.
Jeff Brown, CEO of Brown's Super Stores, which manages six ShopRite stores in the city, said beverage sales were down 50 percent from Jan. 1 to Feb. 17 compared with the same period in 2016. More concerning, he said, is a 15 percent dip in overall sales at city stores.
Danny Grace, head of the Teamsters union, representing many of the drivers, said members have seen pay cut by as much as 70 percent because they're moving fewer products. "Many of them have quit as a result," Grace said. He did not provide specific figures.

Here's What J.J. Abrams' Canned Superman: Flyby Would've Looked Like
Eric Joseph Jun 21, 2019 12:34 pm 2019-06-21T13:08:36-05:00
Now that it appears as though Henry Cavill has vacated the role, everyone's speculating on which actor may next inherit the mantle of Superman. Personally, I'm not sure of whom I'd choose myself, but it's guaranteed this icon will be recast every so often.
So, while we wait to see whatever the future may bring, let's take a moment to look back on the Man of Steel's cinematic history and some of the interesting trivia that comes along with it. Much like the void of false starts that occupied the space between Batman & Robin and Batman Begins, so, too, did Big Blue have trouble finding his way back to the silver screen after The Quest for Peace.
Aside from Tim Burton's Superman Lives, one could say the most notable script that never made it to screen was J.J. Abrams' Superman: Flyby. And now, thanks to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse director Peter Ramsey, we've been gifted with some storyboards from the adventure that never was. Posted to his Twitter page and found below, the industry veteran said he "had fun" drawing these back in the day when he was attached to that particular production.
Superman: Flyby Storyboards
As you can see, the Boy Scout is delivering what the title of that film had promised by – what else? – flying by stuff. Whether it be orbiting the Earth or zooming down the streets of Metropolis, that fella can move.
Like I said, Superman: Flyby never came to be and Superman Returns sprung up in its place not long after. And though Bryan Singer's effort wasn't perfect, it was probably for the better. I'm just not sure if Abrams' deviation from the source material would've gone over with diehard fans and the moviegoing public at large.
In short, I'm saying that because not only was Krypton never destroyed in said screenplay, but other major changes were made as well. For one, Lex Luthor was a government agent obsessed with UFOs, and it's just plain weird hearing Jor-El's brother's name changed from Zor-El to Kata-Zor. Suffice it to say, there's much more regarding this script online if you're willing to do the research.
Even though Superman: Flyby fell through, you needn't weep for J.J. Abrams. Now having Lost, Fringe, Star Trek and Star Wars under his belt, I'd say he's done pretty well for himself. And now that he's been hired to co-write a new Spider-Man comic book for Marvel, he'll definitely leave his mark on the superhero genre.

I love Austin. Its people, foods, and culture. Wanna visit this place again.
I think I'll go to Austin too! This photo calls forth memories of a place I'd really love to visit again.
I'm not much of a traveller but I'd really like to visit Texas one day. I'm a photographer too so I'd get as many shots as I can.
The trademark of Austin is too little for that tall building at the back. I think its the the main subject here (that tall building). Stunning shot!
This is like a trademark of Austin. When you see it you just know you have arrived.
It's a lovely shot. I wish you could have captured more of the buildings.
I love the photo but isn't the background too much? The building is definitely distracting me from focusing on the signage. Anyways, I still love your work!
I don't get to see skyscrapers everyday..but seriously, I love this picture..whoever took this snapshot is a professional. Mere looking at the picture shows that Austin beautiful and I wish I could also visit the place one day.
I dont know Austin yet, but this picture definitely called my attention.
I think I'll definitely go to Austin after seeing this post!Surely will be added on my bucketlist.
This is a creative shot. You took the shot from a good position and add sharpness to give it a better looks.
Cool travel pin! Your creativity really inspires me.
Nice view of the place. Probably, nice place to visit as well.
Yes,this shot will depict the caption. It wil help lure people attention to Austin. Same here with me.
It would be cool if we got an inside look? I mean if I am going to Austin then I may as well see why that is right?
Hahaha what a good pin, sure it must be a very good place to visit, too creative the place. Good luck!!
Great subject composition complete with the locator pin. I'd have to agree with the others in saying this deserves a chance on the cover of a travel guide for Austin.
I could't agree more that this photo be on the cover of Austin travel guide. Nice angle and good lightning.
I feel like this photo could be on the cover of an Austin travel guide. Perfect time of day and luring feel for the overall setting.


After doing a bit of research on the internet, I found out that a club in Arnhem, VDZ, has the oldest stand of the Netherlands (which is still in use for football). As I had some time left before going to Jong Vitesse - Kozakken Boys, I decided to visit this ground.
In the 2016-2017 season, VDZ (Volharding Doet Zegevieren) plays their games in the 3th class (Sunday division). The club has also been playing most of their existence in the 3th class with but they also managed to reach the 1st class (2 seasons, early 60's).

Q: Distinguishing between linear and non-linear differential equations I am working on a few problems from Dennis Zill's book on Differential equations and in te exercise below I am asked to say if the differential equation is linear or non-linear and its order:

My answers:
1 - 2nd order, linear
2 - 3rd order, ?
3 - 4th order, linear
4 - 2nd order, non-linear
5 - 2nd order, non-linear
6 - 2nd order, non-linear
7 - 3rd order, linear
8 - 2nd order, ?
Can someone confirm that? I am really confused about a differential equation being linear or nonlinear.

A: An ordinary differential equation is linear if it can be written in the form
$$
L(y(x))=\left[A_n(x)\frac{d^n}{dx^n}+A_{n-1}(x)\frac{d^{n-1}}{dx^{n-1}}+ \cdots +A_1(x)\frac{d}{dx}+A_0(x)\right]y(x)=f(x)
$$
(this guarantees that if $h(x)$ and $k(x)$ are solutions , also $\alpha h(x)+\beta k(x)$ is a solution)
so, in your case , the equations 2,4,5,6,8 are not linear.

Thanks to huge efforts from the Aaron Cohen family, Sen. Miguel Diaz de la Portilla, and cyclists across South Florida, The Aaron Cohen Life Protection Act was signed into law Tuesday. This is the best piece of legislation Governor Scott has signed in almost 4 years.
The legislation increases the penalties on Hit and Run who leave the scene of a crash in which a person is killed to a minimum mandatory sentence of four years, the same as for DUI manslaughter. Incredibly enough, prior to the signing of the legislation Hit and Run drivers who were intoxicated were able to avoid harsh penalties by leaving the scene and avoiding DUI testing. Thus, there was an incentive for drunk drivers to take off and leave the scene.
This is one of many steps that MUST be taken in order to transform Miami and the rest of South Florida into a pedestrian and cycling friendly city. It speaks volumes that South Florida leads the nation in Bicycle accidents and fatalities.

New trailer reveals March, 2017 launch.
You may have spotted your console chums harping on about PS4-exclusive The Last Guardian of late, and how magical the relationship between the unnamed protagonist and half-bird-mammal creature Trico is. Troll and I might be nothing like Fumito Ueda's latest fantastical action adventure game, but it does feature a similar human-meets-monster partnership. It's also got a new cinematic trailer, as well as a launch date: March 21 in North America, and March 24 in Europe.
Filling the shoes of hero Otto, Troll and I sees you form an unlikely bond with a mythical troll who's being pursued by a ruthless hunter. By switching "seamlessly" between both characters, the game tracks your journey as you "fight, strategise and sneak through a dangerous wilderness" with your adversaries hot on your heels.
"Troll and I features a combat system that allows contrasting abilities for each character: Troll and his highly damaging attacks can crush enemies in one blow while Otto incorporates more quick and nimble moves," reads a statement from publisher Maximum Games. "Troll and Otto can also cohesively act as one to fight off rivals, solve puzzles and complete missions. Each employs their own distinct presence and gameplay functionality."
Developed by Spiral House—a UK dev team who've in the past worked on the likes of LittleBigPlanet, Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare, and Motorstorm—Troll and I features local co-op split-screen multiplayer, should you wish to buddy up with a mate.
Troll and I is due March 21 in the States, and March 24, 2017 in Europe.

Fed's Powell pumped trillions into the economy. Now, he may be the party killer.
Powell is widely credited with taking quick and sweeping action to keep the economy afloat during the severe pandemic disruptions, so his confirmation is not in any jeopardy. But heightened frustration among Americans about soaring prices is fueling congressional pressure on the Fed chief — a Republican who was first elevated to the chair by President Donald Trump — over how the Fed will respond.
19-Year U.S Airman Files EO Case Against Air Force Officials After Facing Discharge and Loss of Retirement for Saying No to Biden's Unconstitutional Vax Mandate
"He's going to get asked about inflation from everybody, moderate to right," said Claudia Sahm, a former Fed economist who worked under Powell. "The Republicans are going to just grill him on inflation. Democrats — Sherrod Brown, Maxine Waters, the Squad — they're totally going to take him to task on maximum employment. So he's going to get it from both sides."
For his part, Powell argues that the central bank has positioned itself so that it can more easily react no matter how the economy develops, expressing confidence that the central bank would be able to remove some of its support without unduly denting the recovery.
"We're actually in position now to take the steps that we'll need to take in a thoughtful manner to address all of the issues, including that of too-high inflation," he told reporters last month.
The Fed chief will face the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday, where Republicans will continue their drumbeat against heightened inflation, which they've used as a cudgel to criticize Biden's big-spending plans. Brown, an Ohio Democrat who chairs the committee, hasn't explicitly opposed the prospect of rate hikes but recently urged Powell to "continue to help steer our economic recovery in the right direction — toward full employment and an economy that empowers workers and their families."
In prepared testimony for his hearing, Powell underscored the strength of the economy, which he said "is expanding at its fastest pace in many years, and the labor market is strong."
He added, "The economy has rapidly gained strength despite the ongoing pandemic, giving rise to persistent supply and demand imbalances and bottlenecks, and thus to elevated inflation."
Powell's first term featured no shortage of difficulties, including a campaign of rate hikes designed to finally remove economic support that had persisted since the Great Recession, followed by a relentless public bashing from Trump and, ultimately, the global pandemic. But the potential for the Fed to make a mistake is perhaps even higher now than before, along with the political danger for Powell in his second term.
The White House isn't throwing up political barriers to the Fed's intentions to do more to combat inflation, at least for now.
"I want to be clear: I'm confident the Federal Reserve will act to achieve their dual goals of full employment and stable prices and make sure the price increases do not become entrenched over a long term, with the independence that they need," Biden said Friday.
Among the uncertainties facing central bank policymakers: the surprising persistence of the virus and its variants; lingering supply chain disruptions that have driven up the prices of goods; and an upheaval in the labor force that has resulted in millions of Americans quitting work, creating a tight job market that can lead to more inflation.
The Fed has penciled in three rate hikes this year, and the first could come as soon as March. But the pandemic generally, and the Omicron variant specifically, remains a confounding factor that could either stoke inflation by prolonging production and shipping delays or cool it by tempering spending and hiring.
"They can either look like they're trying to rein in inflation, or they can look like they're trying to support the economy and financial markets," said Jim Bianco, the head of financial analysis firm Bianco Research. "They can't do both at the same time."
Bianco argued that the problem is partially one of the Fed's own making because it did not act sooner to begin removing its extensive efforts to keep rates low, allowing inflation pressures to build. That means the central bank will have to act more quickly to increase borrowing costs now, which could cause turmoil in financial markets, he said.
"Is [half a percentage point increase in rates] going to hurt the economy? No, it's not," he said. "But it is going be felt on Wall Street, and if Wall Street winds up having a conniption over it, then that's a policy mistake."
Adam Ozimek, chief economist at freelancing platform Upwork, said the Fed misjudged how large the inflation spike would be, though he still thinks — as the Fed previously argued — that price increases will eventually start to cool on their own. He said the danger instead is that the Fed will overreact to levels of inflation that ultimately prove temporary, hurting the millions who still haven't returned to the labor force.
"Inflation is by any measure extremely high, yet labor slack remains significant as well and we are far from full employment," he said. "The policy challenge is far more complicated than in 2018, when Powell faced uncertainty about labor slack but without the added pressure of high inflation."
Still, others have praised the Fed's restraint amid the price spikes, keeping rates low and allowing the job market to heal more quickly. They argue that inflation is significantly being fed by supply chain issues that the central bank isn't equipped to solve.
