Look At The Swank Digs The Loudmouth Socialist, Occasional-Cortex, Just Moved Into
Written by K. Walker on February 20, 2019
It's all 'champagne wishes and caviar dreams' for AOC who is now living in luxury in what Forbes has labeled one of the 12 'coolest' neighborhoods in the world.
Not too shabby for a 29-year old former bartender who was concerned that she wouldn't be able to afford to pay rent in D.C. after being elected. According to Zillow, a real-estate website, the median rent in Washington, D.C. is $2,700, so it would be a stretch for the former bartender whose last reported income was just $26,600.
There are many little ways in which our electoral system isn't even designed (nor prepared) for working-class people to lead.
This is one of them (don't worry btw – we're working it out!)

No worries, though. She's shacking up with her boyfriend, Riley Roberts, so the strong, independent woman's new digs could be courtesy of his paycheck. Of course, she's also pulling in a sweet Congressional salary of $174,000 which puts her firmly in the upper end of the Upper-Middle Class range according to Pew Research. Surely she could get a nice place with that kind of dough.
Last year Forbes magazine named the Navy Yard neighborhood one of the 12 coolest in the world.
It's the fast growing area in the nation's capitol and features the Nationals Ball Park; District Winery, the only winery in the city; beer gardens; posh restaurants and expensive workout studios like SolidCore and Pure Barre.
The Yards Park – situated on the banks of the Potomac River – contains a fountain, outdoor concerts, outdoor workout classes, restaurants, and speciality shops.
And the city is building a soccer stadium in the area.
Not only that, there is a Whole Foods Market which is ironically owned by Amazon, the company AOC worked tirelessly to prevent from building their massive HQ2 near her Queens Congressional district. She was successful in her opposition but Governor Andrew Cuomo blasted her for 'putting political interests above community.'
But, like many socialists, (democratic or otherwise,) AOC seems to be a big fan of 'Do As I Say, Not As I Do', so as she condemned Amazon and lobbied hard against the HQ2 deal in Queens, she went out shopping at Whole Foods.
She was spotted shopping in the Whole Foods in her new D.C. neighborhood on Thursday night, Politico's Playbook reported.
Looks like AOC made an oopsie.
That's not the only hypocrisy from the new 'rising star' of the Democrat party, it turns out that Ms. Affordable Housing has taken a home in a building that has specifically chosen not to offer affordable units under the Washington, D.C.'s Affordable Dwelling Units program. So, no poor people allowed.
But housing affordability was a major campaign issue for rising Democratic star and helped her defeat Democrat Rep. Joe Crowley in the June primary, a victory that shocked the Democratic establishment.
'New York 14 is one of those last working-class congressional districts in New York City. These communities are very rapidly seeing the cost of living go up: In the last three years or so, the median price of a two-bedroom apartment in New York 14 has gone up 80 percent,' she told Vogue magazine in June. 'Our incomes certainly aren't going up 80 percent to compensate for that, and what that is doing is a wave of aggressive economic displacement of the communities that have always been here.'
Ocasio-Cortez mocked Brooklyn for gentrification because the area has 'been taken over by bespoke quiche spots' that the 'weird L train people' did to the area.
BX is seizing the throne, now that Brooklyn has been taken over by bespoke quiche spots or whatever you weird L train people did down there ? https://t.co/yZctYTI4Dg

Washington D.C.'s Navy Yard neighborhood is also part of a gentrification battle.
Just last year, a civil rights attorney sued the government of Washington D.C. for alleged discriminatory policies in areas like Navy Yards which encouraged gentrification and was attracting affluent 'creative millennials' while displacing minority communities.
Yikes. That's awkward.
So how swank are her swank digs? Pretty damned swanky.
Her new D.C. apartment building – the exact location DailyMail.com is not revealing – contains two private massage rooms; men's and women's saunas; a 25-meter indoor lap pool; a rooftop infinity pool with views of the Capitol; a Peloton cycling studio; and a fireside lounge featuring a Steinway & Sons player piano, the Examiner noted.
Apartments in the building go for $1,840 a month for a 440 square foot studio, and can go up to $5,200 for a three-bedroom.
AOC railed against luxury developers in her bid to become a member of Congress — luxury developers like the one who built her fancy new pad.
Skyrocketing rents.
Housing instability.
Homelessness in NYC is at its highest since the Great Depression – yet there are 3X vacant apts as people experiencing homelessness.
It's time we stand up to the luxury developer lobby. Every official is too scared to do it – except me. pic.twitter.com/QTdOPp1j68
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) April 25, 2018
Ah, leftists! If they didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have standards at all.
Is anyone in the Media(D) going to ask AOC about her anti-luxury developer position and her new apartment?
I think it's highly unlikely, don't you?

Fregatidae comprises a single genus (Fregata) and five species.
Frigatebirds have a pantropical marine distribution.
Frigatebirds are pelagic and coastal in tropical and subtropical oceans. Breeding grounds are located on remote oceanic islands or in coastal mainland mangrove regions.
The egg is incubated for 40-55 days. Chicks are altricial and acquire a whitish down. Chicks are brooded and fed by parents. Fledging age is variable and ranges from 4.5-7 months. Post-fledging care may last from four to eighteen months depending on species. Adult plumage may be acquired between four or six years. Age of first breeding varies with species and ranges from six to eleven years. Frigatebirds may live for at least 25-34 years.
Frigatebirds are large birds (89-114 cm; 625-1640 g; 196-244 wingspan). Females tend to be larger and heavier than males. Plumage is mostly iridescent black-brown and some species have white on the breast and/or abdomen. The gular sac is red and becomes greatly enlarged when inflated by males performing mating displays. Wings are long, narrow and pointed, and the tail is long and deeply forked. Head is small and neck is relatively short. The long, cylindrical bill is strongly hooked at the tip and palate is desmognathous. Small feet are totipalmate with a small area of webbing at base of toes. Legs and feet of males are mostly black or brown, whereas females are white or red. Both sexes have brood patches. Coracoid and furcula are fused to the sternum (unique in birds).
Frigatebirds may breed in mixed colonies with other fregatids, red-footed booby (Sula nebouxii), terns and noddies (Sternidae), gulls (Larus), cormorants (Phalacrocorax), shearwaters and petrels (Procellariiformes), pelicans (Pelecanidae).
Frigatebirds feed primarily on flying fish (Cypselurus, Exocoetus), but will also take menhaden (Brevoortia), squid or jellyfish. They also prey upon eggs and chicks of their own species, terns (Sterna), boobies (Sula), and petrels and shearwaters (Procellariiformes).
Predators of frigatebirds include: domestic cats, rats and humans. Frigatebirds may kill chicks and eggs of conspecifics and congeners.
Frigatebirds are considered seasonally monogamous. Males gather in groups to display for females by spreading their wings, inflating their large scarlet gular sacs, and pointing their bills skywards. When a female flies over the group, each male quivers wings and head, and the bill vibrates against the inflated pouch producing a distinctive drumming sound. A female will land next to one male and two or three days of pair-formation ensues with periods of head snaking and the male taking the female's bill into his own. The pair takes two to three weeks to build a nest on the display site. The male collects nesting material (sometimes pilfering from nearby nests) whereas the female defends the site and builds a nest from the materials brought by the male. Copulations occur at the nest site.
Frigatebirds breed in colonies numbering up to several thousand pairs. Breeding is considered biennial, although in some populations females may breed biennially whereas males may breed annually. The beginning of breeding is variable and may coincide with food availability. Nest-sites include trees, bushes, and cliffs. Nesting material consists of twigs, leaves, grass, seaweed and feathers. Females generally lay one whitish egg per clutch.
Both sexes have brood patches and parents take turns incubating for 40-55 days in stints lasting from one to 18 days. Males and females take turns brooding and feeding chicks regurgitated food until chicks fledge at four to seven months. Chicks are guarded constantly during the first month, then left alone frequently while the parents forage. Post-fledging care is prolonged (14-18 months) and the female may do most, if not all, of the post-fledging feeding.
Frigatebirds generally spend the year within range of the breeding colony, yet young birds may disperse widely. Frigatebirds are noted soarers, spending much of the day riding the winds and roosting at night on trees or cliffs. Thermoregulation includes gular fluttering, feather ruffling, and wing extending. Frigatebirds catch most of their prey by flying low over the water and picking prey from near the surface. They will, however, feed opportunistically by taking fish from fishing boats or offal from slaughterhouses. Interestingly, frigatebirds sometimes obtain food by cooperatively stealing prey items from other species. Several frigatebirds soar together and target seabirds (boobies and others) returning with food items. The frigatebirds swoop down from above to pursue the target, pulling at the bird's wings or tail, in an attempt to force the bird to disgorge and drop its prey items. If successful, the dropped food item is plucked from the air by one of the agile frigatebirds.
Frigatebirds form mixed flocks with other Pelecaniformes for breeding and roosting. They generally forage singly or in small groups of two or three individuals, but may flock over an abundant food source.
Frigatebirds are often quiet in flight or when perching. Colonies are often noisy. Males and females have distinctive vocalizations. Adults elicit twittering, drumming, rattling and bill clattering. Young birds chirp or squeal.
Frigatebird eggs and young are collected for human consumption.
Two frigatebird species are included in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Andrew's Frigatebird (Fregata andrewsi) is listed as 'Critically Endangered' and Ascension Frigatebird (F. aquila) is listed as 'Vulnerable'. Major threats include: habitat degradation, introduced predators, and human disturbance at breeding sites.
The evolutionary relationships of frigatids remain unclear. Frigatebirds have been considered related to other totipalmate birds (tropicbirds, anhingas, gannets and boobies, pelicans, cormorants and anhingas), which when taken together, form Pelecaniformes. Frigatebirds have been considered most derived within Pelecaniformes. However, some hierarchies include frigatebirds within Ciconiiformes or Charadriiformes. Morphological, ethological and molecular analyses suggest differing hypotheses of sister group relationships: frigatebirds as sister to a group comprising pelecanids (pelicans), sulids (boobies and gannets), phalacrocoracids (cormorants and anhingas); frigatebirds as sister to procellariids (tubenoses); frigatebirds as sister to a group consisting of spheniscids (penguins), gaviids (loons), procellariids (petrels, shearwaters, albatrosses).
A frigatebird fossil (Limnofregata) from Wyoming has been dated to the Eocene.

We've been working with a large manufacturer of shock absorbers to bring MG ZT / ZT-T Dampers back to 'regular' prices - these are items that have been tried and tested by us on our fleet of test cars, and have passed with flying colours.
You'll need to select the engine type from the drop-down box at the top of the page - some variants use different items. If yours isn't listed, please email sales@dmgrs.co.uk and we'll look into it for you.
These items are made to the 'Comfort' specification, which is ever-so-slightly softer than the 'Standard' specification (common on Mk1 cars, Mk2s were mainly 'Comfort').
We guarantee you'll like these - our 2003 ZT-T feels a lot more taught with these replacing the 150,000 mile-old items previously fitted. Cornering is sharper, and tramlining is greatly reduced.
With these costing around half of the standard item, you'll save a packet and transform your ZT / ZT-T.


in front of me almost the whole day.
I still can spot the jetty far away across the Sarawak River.
By the noon, weather forecasted it will lasted until the week ends.
Got email from the management to everyone in the office.
season king tide and rising of flood water level today.
will have to be extra careful & alert.
Worry at the same time.
On my way back, no "big" sign of rising water level at my areas.
Only at Foochow Road bridge.
If only no rain tonight, it will be alright.
If it does rain, then we'll see what tomorrow have for us.
Flash flood hit Kuching last Saturday because of continuous raining.
with "teh-c-peng" water from the drain.
Everyone had to turn back and use other roads!
Non-stop heavy downpoured for at least 48 hours.
as their housing area were badly flooded!
other areas in Sarawak also experienced it too.
I pray & hope it ends tonight.
Or it spoilt everyone's Chinese New Year mood.

El Morocco Inn & Spa - Palm Springs Hotels - Palm Springs Life Magazine, June 2007
Passport to Morocco
A new Desert Hot Springs inn transports guests to another world
Janice Kleinschmidt. May 24, 2007 Hotels & Resorts, Real Estate 0 Comments
Jewel-toned sheers dance in the breeze to the soft lilt of belly-dancing music. An innkeeper pours warm rosewater over the hands of a guest about to enjoy refreshments. The scent of apricot wafts through the air as two other guests simultaneously inhale flavored tobacco from a hookah pipe. This is Morocco.
Well, actually, this is the Moroccan "experience" — and it's only eight miles north of Palm Springs.
John Aguilar — co-owner with Bruce Abney of the 4-month-old, 11-room El Morocco Inn & Spa in Desert Hot Springs — fell in love with Casablanca during a one-day side trip from Spain (an eight-mile ride across the Strait of Gibraltar). "Everybody was warm and friendly. I felt embraced, and I wanted to bring that sense of the Moroccan experience back home," he says.
Aguilar and Abney owned a home in Palm Springs five years before moving to the desert full time in 1999. In San Francisco, Aguilar worked as director of real estate for the Port of Oakland and then San Francisco Presidio Trust. Abney, once a trainer for the Hilton chain, was general manager of Hotel Bohème.
"We wanted a climate that would go with the theme," Aguilar says. The Coachella Valley mirrors not only the climate of Morocco, but also the setting of desert sand and date palms against the backdrop of a mountain range.
From the moment guests walk through the front door, Abney wants to transport them to another place. He took pains, for example, to have the cement flooring resemble sand. Sheer fabrics hang in a canopy from a lantern over the reception desk made by Abney. Its front is upholstered with Moroccan fabric, the top painted red with the typical eight-pointed star motif in gold. Fez-topped monkeys hold a dish of the inn's business cards, while another monkey forms a lamp. Although it's hard to disguise a laptop computer, at least the mouse pad resembles a patterned Moroccan carpet.
In addition to a tented telephone "booth" and peacock feathers in large vases, the entryway features rough-hewn double doors from a Moroccan house. "They were very, very pricey, but the fact of the matter is they are a piece of art," Abney says, admiring the hand-routed wood and pondering the story behind what caused two stains.
Beyond the entryway, guests step into an interior courtyard that Abney likens to a Moroccan riad (a house with an interior garden). The courtyard features a pool, canopied sofas, a fire pit surrounded by Moroccan leather poufs on prayer rugs, a rattan bar, and — behind a wall with keyhole-cut windows and floating sheers — a large hot mineral water spa ringed with blue rope-designed tiles (matching the tile around the pool).
Guest-room doors are painted a saturated blue, mimicking those in Morocco, where the vivid hue is thought to ward off evil spirits, who, attracted by the color, will linger and not enter.
"We copied the doors in Morocco," Abney says, explaining how they beat and split the wood to make it look aged, added round caps, and painted them Majorelle Blue — a color named for French artist Jacques Majorelle, who lived in Morocco in the 1920s and 1930s. Abney picks up a book in the library and opens it to a picture of a small hexagonal table.
"Through 10,000 circuitous routes, I found that table," he says. "I bought the table to get the blue and took it with me to the paint store to match."
Each door also features a knocker in the form of the "hand of Fatima" (a Moroccan symbol of fertility). Instead of a "Do Not Disturb" card, a silver tassel is provided to hang on the doorknob to signal a request for privacy.
At one end of the courtyard, guests find refreshments and entertainment in the Kasbah Lounge and Library. In the morning, an elaborate, complimentary breakfast buffet includes a house-blend granola. Starbucks coffee beans and French-press coffeemakers are available at all times, as are iced Desert Hot Springs prize-winning water, Humphrey Bogarts (the inn's version of an Arnold Palmer made with Moroccan mint tea and lemonade), figs, dates, pistachios, and fruit.
Throughout the day, Casablanca runs continuously in the library. Not including the number of times the 1942 film has looped, Aguilar and Abney have watched the Bogart classic "literally hundreds of times."
"Even before we opened, we used to watch this for inspiration," Aguilar says. Abney points out that the decoration on the piano in Rick's Café matches the zouak hand painting (detailed patterns created with a fine brush) on a cabinet in the Kasbah Lounge and Library.
The library features a fireplace; cushioned bench seating with lots of velvety toss pillows; a hand-painted octagonal table; patterned, upholstered Ottomans; some of the inn's more than 200 books on Morocco; magazines (some only in French as a nod to the 1940s French Morocco of Casablanca); and games, including Morocco's favorite: backgammon.
As in each of the guest rooms, a framed 1940s-vintage poster from the Moroccan tourism bureau hangs on the wall. Carpets, lanterns, fabrics, furnishings, and accessories throughout the inn came from Morocco.
"Sometimes things came a little beat up, but it's part of their character," Abney says. He points out cracks in a hand-painted goatskin lamp. "When you buy them in Morocco, they are perfect because the temperature is held in the same range as when they were made," he says. "When they sit out there in the salty ocean air and arrive a year or six months later, they're split. At first I hated that, because I am an American and we expect everything to be perfect. I began to realize this is part of their beauty. This is part of their journey."
Near the lamp is a picture of row upon row of colorfully embroidered Moroccan slippers, called babouches; olive branches in a vase; and a two-person, far-infrared sauna equipped with a sound system so guests can listed to Moroccan music while letting the heat soak into their bones.
"We say, 'Take the heat, take the water, and then take a sofa,'" Abney says. Or guests could get a massage.
On a second level at one end of the courtyard (marked by a wooden screen with intricate geometric cutouts called a moushrabiya) are three spa rooms (one open to the sky and one including a one-person sauna). Guests may choose organic ingredients reminiscent of Moroccan spice routes to enhance a variety of massages. Chamomile, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, and other spices fill small tagines (Moroccan containers with conical lids) on the Blue Parrot Spa Bar (named in honor of a tavern in Casablanca).
Rounding up the Usual Suspects
By fall, Abney and Aguilar hope to move the spa rooms to a garden on the adjacent lot. In addition to building guest-room patios overlooking the garden, they plan a bocce ball court, giant chess- and checkerboards, hammocks, and — the pièce de résistance — a Moroccan tent.
"This is the real tent that sultans still travel around in across the Sahara Desert," Abney says, looking at the partially assembled tent. "If you come inside, you are seeing something that many Moroccans have never seen. It's for the very, very wealthy."
The lining fabric features the red and green royal colors. The triple-layer roof and walls include a vinyl liner and canvas exterior, keeping the inside insulated from outdoor temperatures. The 364-square-foot tent — 20 feet tall at its finialed peak — will be divided into two spa rooms, but can be opened into one space for weddings or parties. A wooden floor will be overlaid with carpets.
"It cost $1,000 just to get it out of customs," Abney says of the $12,000 tent. (Abney and Aguilar previously spent $6,000 on a smaller tent that never arrived.)
While they have spent as much money to outfit their inn as they did to buy the property, Abney and Aguilar saved money on renovations by performing much of the work themselves — such as installing reeded ceilings on roof overhangs; heavily texturizing and painting walls with pearlescent coppers, golds, and other rich Moroccan tones (Abney was a professional faux finisher for five years); and hanging patterned, striped, and sheer fabrics for awning, canopies, and curtains.
Guest rooms and suites feature canopy beds with upholstered headboards (three with seven-foot-round beds are called "sultan's play pens"); hanging curtains of beads; silk-threaded pillows in reds, saffrons, crimsons, and blues; and built-in sofas with matching swag and seat cushions copied from a Moroccan palace. The abundant use of sheers and Moroccan fabrics with traditional motifs are courtesy of Abney's mother, a seamstress who now also lives in Desert Hot Springs.
"It's nerve-racking handing that fabric off to your mom, because you can't yell at her if she ruins it," Abney jokes. "But she didn't."
Beginning a Beautiful Friendship
When they discovered the former Caravan Spatel and adjacent lot were for sale, they plopped down $275,000 and began renovations. Abney worked as general manager of Orbit Inn in Palm Desert and then Movie Colony Hotel in Palm Springs three years to the day at each, though he plans to stick with El Morocco longer. "This is my retirement," he explains.
Wanting to blend his real estate expertise with social commitment, Aguilar serves as director of development for the Coachella Valley Housing Coalition during the week and joins Abney and Abney's brother, Steve, running the inn on weekends. Wearing pullover gauze shirts and long strips of leather with first-name-only tags hanging around their necks in lieu of starched white linen, button-down shirts with badges bearing a hotel logo pinned over the pocket, they balance keeping an eye out for guests' needs with a desire to give their guests privacy — that is, until happy hour.
A little after 5 p.m., the trio begin setting out martini glasses rimmed in sugar on the courtyard bar and fill them with melon-colored Moroccotinis. As guests begin to gather for the complimentary social hour, they perform the traditional Moroccan hand-washing ceremony, pouring warm rosewater from a silver urn whose lower portion serves as a basin to catch the water.
This is when guests typically try a hookah pipe, for $10 selecting flavored tobaccos from Morocco, Syria, and Egypt.
After a chatty hour, the innkeepers gather up the glasses, hand towels, and cracker mixes and the guests head off to dinner. When they return to the inn, they will find a decanter of Spanish cream sherry and small Moroccan tea glasses on a brass tray in the Kasbah Lounge. Perhaps they'll raise a glass and say, "Here's looking at you, kid."

The Nice List
We're the Dawsons!

Raw promised a brilliant go-home episode as SummerSlam is just six days away.
With Renee Young on commentary, becoming the first woman to voice an entire episode of Raw, we were scheduled to witness two former UFC champions with Ronda Rousey and Brock Lesnar both booked.
Also, rumours floated around that Dean Ambrose was expected to return from the injury that has kept him out of action for seven months.
Would we see Ambrose return during the expected contract signing between Dolph Ziggler and Seth Rollins?
Ronda Rousey entered the arena first and before beginning to focus on Alexa Bliss, she paid tribute to friend Natalya after the sudden loss of her father, Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart. You can read about his in-ring career as part of the Hart Foundation here.
Ronda welcomed Ember Moon to the ring, declaring that the War Goddess would be facing Alexa Bliss next. Bliss, accompanied by a taped up Alicia Fox after suffering a Rousey arm-bar last week, made her entrance and hired some extra security to protect her from Rousey.
As expected, Rousey dispatched of the security with ease - with one security guard not even taking the fight to Ronda. The match began with Bliss running from Moon before getting in a cheap shot to take control.
However, some lovely holds and a wicked baseball slide sent Bliss flying into the barricade as The Baddest Woman on the Planet looked on.
Moon almost had the match won as she hit her beautiful Eclipse on a stunned Bliss but before the referee could reach a three-count, Alicia Fox interfered and sent Moon flying with a hair toss. Rousey sprinted back into the ring and delivered three Judo throws that sent Fox scrambling out of the ring with Bliss, the champion barely in one piece.
Rousey was pure class in this segment. She started softly when paying tribute to Natalya before shifting her intensity to Alexa Bliss, who she will face on Sunday. Her Judo throws never get old, whether she is throwing a security guard or Alicia Fox across the ring. The match between Bliss and Moon was very good too, leaving fans wanting more in the future between the pair.
The Constable of Raw went up against Breeze, who is without partner Fandango due to injury. Breeze started to pick up the pace early but Corbin threw Breeze straight into the barrier.
After a short exchange, Corbin dodged a crossbody and hit the Deep Six on Breeze for the win, not even having to dip deep into his arsenal for the End of Days.
After the match, he grabbed the microphone and announced Finn Balor's opponent for the evening- Jinder Mahal. But, not only would Balor face Mahal, but Kevin Owens too in a handicap match.
Kurt Angle added to the match, ordering the Monster in the Bank, Braun Strowman, to join Finn Balor and make it a tag match. Balor took control of the match in the early stages as Owens ran away from Strowman, avoiding any conflict with the current Money in the Bank holder.
Strowman then received the hot tag from Balor and laid waste to Sunil Singh and Owens on the outside before hitting the Running Powerslam on Mahal for the win.
Post-match, Owens scurried away from the ring up the ramp followed in hot pursuit by Strowman. This gave Baron Corbin an opportunity to attack a lone Balor in the ring, nailing an End of Days to stand tall ahead of his SummerSlam match.
Corbin's short match with Breeze was ok but the crowd was really into the tag match with Strowman, Balor, Owens and Mahal. Strowman, as always, looked like a machine and gets a massive roar as he receives the hot tag. Constable Corbin has found his place on the card and really excelled in the role, making him more relevant to the show.
Mahal is an interesting component to the Owens/Strowman match this Sunday. Could he help KO get the briefcase from Strowman?
A country singer from Greensborough under the name Ricky Roberts praised Elias for his music, calling him his idol. Elias came out to perform and, as per usual, attacked the crowd. Lashley interrupted and before a match could get underway, Roberts used his own guitar to hit Lashley.
Lashley didn't even flinch and produced a dominating Spinebuster on Roberts with so much force.
Lashley and Elias did not get physical and they don't have a match booked for SummerSlam, therefore this felt like a bit of an empty segment.
In a match for the Raw Tag Team Champions, the rules were that only two men were legal at any one time, meaning that one team would be out of the match at any given time.
The Revival produced a Hart Attack early, in homage to The Anvil. Bray Wyatt hit Uranage's everywhere and on everyone, including one onto the apron for Dash Wilder. Matt Hardy then Superplexed Scott Dawson off the top rope onto the remaining four competitors below on the floor.
However, some cunning ring awareness from Curtis Axel allowed him to pick up the win. He tagged himself into the match just before The Revival hit Matt Hardy with the Shatter Machine. He then threw Scott Dawson out of the ring and made the pin himself in order to retain his tag team titles.
It was quite a fun match with all six men getting their moment to shine. Hardy's Superplex looked lovely and Axel looked clever in order to retain his championship. Some may say it was a little too short, especially as there isn't space for a tag match on the SummerSlam card this weekend.
Roman Reigns wants to leave Raw in a better place than it was when he started. He declared it was the end of Lesnar's reign on Sunday before Paul Heyman interrupted.
Heyman, on the back of his brilliant promo last week, wanted to join forces with Reigns and praised The Big Dog relentlessly. He wanted to join forces after Lesnar seemingly got rid of him two weeks ago on Raw.
However, it seems as though Heyman was fooling us all as he surprisingly pepper-sprayed Reigns multiple times. This left Reigns stunned and an opportunistic Brock Lesnar entered the arena and delivered some devastating knee strikes to the mid-section and then sent Reigns to sleep with a Guillotine hold.
Heyman laughed in the background as his plan was perfectly executed. Lesnar left and returned to the ring for one last F5 to send a clear message to Reigns ahead of Summerslam.
After Heyman's brilliant performance in his Renee Young interview last week, this was a brilliant swerve. It seems as though Lesnar and Heyman had it planned all along, faking their breakup two weeks ago. Lesnar looked venomous as he preyed on a weak victim, with WWE presumably hoping that Reigns will get some sympathy from the fans.
This match begun as Michael Cole was still summarising the Reigns/Lesnar segment beforehand. In a match that went no longer than 2 minutes, Roode hit the Glorious DDT on Rawley for the win.
Nothing to report. Rawley getting pinned so early in the feud is poor though, as it seemed as though he could get some momentum as a heel.
The leader of The Riott Squad was back in action for the first time in a month against one half of The Boss and Hug Connection.
The Riott Squad caused some distractions on the outside but the turning point was when Sasha Banks got her hand caught in the ring steps, allowing Riott to attack and damage the left arm.
Sasha managed to nail a Suicide Dive to the outside onto Sarah Logan but it wasn't enough as the distractions worked for Riott, who took advantage to get a roll-up win over Banks.
There isn't too much story behind these matches other than it's Bayley and Banks back in the same corner. It was nice to see Riott back in action, she is one of the most underrated performers in WWE today.
The story throughout Raw was whether Rollins was going to make it back to Raw in time to sign the contract, as he spent the last week in Shanghai, China. Inside the contract was a clause allowing Rollins to have somebody in his corner, with lots of people hoping it will be The Lunatic Fringe, Dean Ambrose.
GM Kurt Angle put over Roman Reigns before Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre made their way to the ring to sign the contract ahead of Sunday's Intercontinental Championship match.
Ziggler and McIntyre then continued to tell the audience how their hard work got them to where they are today. Rollins finally arrived in the arena and stated that the clause in the contract was put in for a reason. If Ziggler got a Scottish Psychopath in his corner, then he needed a Lunatic.
Dean Ambrose then got one of the biggest pops of the year as he sported a shaved head with a full beard and with about 10 pounds extra muscle. He and Rollins took to the ring and as Ambrose got rid of Ziggler, Rollins kicked McIntyre in the stomach. This turned him into Ambrose and saw the first Dirty Deeds of 2018.
Ambrose and Rollins ended Raw in the ring together, posing with their 'Shield Fists' out for the WWE Universe to witness and applaud.
Ziggler and McIntyre were terrific on the microphone before Rollins arrived. They said that despite them appearing together, they are not a tag team and merely superstars who want to make each other better.
Rollins got a great reaction and Ambrose an even bigger one when his music hit. It has been long overdue and hopefully, we see him get into some action at SummerSlam this weekend.

and work by Francis Alys, Lynn Chadwick, Lucy Harvey, Andrew Logan, Jaqueline Poncelet, Bridget Riley and Martin Smith from the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art collection.
25 January – 11 April 2020
Public Launch 6–8pm Friday 24 January 2020
In the Castle of My Skin is a solo show of new commissions and existing work by Sonia Boyce, with work by seven other artists co-curated with Boyce. The exhibition is built through improvisation techniques and riffs on ways of playing in urban space. It takes shape across a large new sculptural display system that houses works by Boyce and artists including Anna Barham, Harold Offeh, Flora Parrott and Alberta Whittle alongside selected works from the Middlesbrough Collection. The sculpture is based on the crystalline form of the mineral pyrite, known as Fool's Gold, and is clad in wallpapers made by Boyce since the early 1990s.
In the Castle of My Skin starts with the metaphor of skin as a covering, a surface, a barrier, a marker of identity and a connector between internal and external worlds. This builds on the intersection of diverse histories as a recurring theme in Boyce's work. The sculpture and a newly-commissioned video expand Boyce's thinking about the speculative nature of improvisation, social bonding, visual cultures and relationships to the built environment.
Boyce is fascinated by moments of serendipity that occur when people are brought together without a script. The new video comes out of the performative laboratory of two live, public events produced at Eastside Projects in 2017 in which local skate-boarders and skate-boarding ukulele players performed. This unlikely pairing is combined with footage of female skaters shot in Middlesbrough who play and improvise, uncovering knowledge of their bodies and the town's urban architecture.
The title, In the Castle of My Skin, comes from an autobiographical novel by writer George Lamming, a study of colonial revolt that is seen as one of the great political novels in modern 'colonial' literature. Set in the 1930s in Barbados, where the author was born, the story follows a young boy's life against the backdrop of major societal change. This reference builds on Boyce's extensive work in re-evaluating modernism to incorporate a range of perspectives, journeys and voices.
In the summer of 2020, the exhibition will be reimagined and reconfigured at MIMA in Middlesbrough. MIMA holds one of Boyce's key early works, She Ain't Holding Them Up, She's Holding On (Some English Rose), 1986 (acquired in 1987) and throughout 2019 the artist has collaborated with the institution and colleagues from the Black Artists & Modernism research project to audit the collection for contributions by black artists.
This exhibition is organised in partnership with MIMA, Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art. The new works are co-commissioned by Eastside Projects and MIMA, with support from The Henry Moore Foundation and The Elephant Trust.

"Pretty Woman" Has Its Roots In Judaism and Other Awesomeness
Not since Shmuley Boteach's Kosher Sex has Jewish hanky-panky gotten so much play.
Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg (I met her before she was ordained at a San Francisco signing of her first book, Yentl's Revenge, collection of deliciously edgy feminist essays) has just released The Passionate Torah: Sex and Judaism. While it's unlikely than no one's going to be using this new anthology as hot foreplay on a Shabbat afternoon, it does promise to challenge our notions of what it means to be a sexy Jew:
Covering topics such as monogamy, inter-faith relationships, reproductive technology, homosexuality, and a host of other hot-button issues, these writings consider how contemporary Jews can engage themselves, their loved ones, and their tradition in a way that's both sexy and sanctified.
In this interview with Mandy Van Deven for Religion Dispatches, Reb Danya discusses the story of spy-lover Rahab and how she's inspired the "hooker with a heart gold" archetype, as well as how feminism can reconcile Judaism to its highest potential.
It may not be erotica, but it's interesting stuff.

Just as the Boston Celtics return Rajon Rondo to the fold, they'll now be forced to go on without Avery Bradley.
Bradley, who injured his right ankle during the Celtics' 93-86 loss to the Miami Heat on Tuesday, will miss the next "couple of weeks," according to The Boston Globe's Gary Washburn.
Celtics coach Brad Stevens speculated after Tuesday's game that Bradley would not suit up for Wednesday night's matchup against the Washington Wizards.
The layoff also will give Bradley time to rest his sore right hand, which he injured in a win over the Toronto Raptors last week. The fourth-year point guard is averaging 14.5 points and 4.1 rebounds per game this season.
Bradley is the second Celtics guard to go down since Rondo returned to the lineup last Friday. Jerryd Bayless, whom the Celtics acquired from the Memphis Grizzlies on Jan. 7, exited Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic with a sprained toe and did not suit up against the Heat. He is expected to miss seven to 10 days.
With Rondo and rookie Phil Pressey as their only healthy backcourt players, the Celtics signed D-League guard Vander Blue to a 10-day contract on Wednesday.

Banned notes has been used to make file-pads by prisoners in TN
Vastavam web: Convicts undergoing life imprisonment at the Puzhal Central Prison here are giving a fresh lease of life to demonetised currency, converting the shredded notes into customised stationery.A senior official said the stationery is being used in state government departments and their agencies."While the Reserve Bank of India has offered 70 tons of shredded notes to us, Puzhal jail officials have so far taken delivery of nine tons…We will bring the rest of it in a phased manner," TN Prison Department, DIG (in charge), A Murugesan told.
Shredded notes are first made into pulp, then solidified by pouring it into a die-mould and eventually the notes are made hard pads, all in a manual process. Besides using the banned notes, file-pads are also made using specially procured hard pads from Khadi, the official said.Used in government offices, a file pad is a type of semi-corrugated, hard pad with corners embellished with red coloured cloth material.There is a proposal to upgrade the hand-made stationery making unit at Puzhal into a semi-automated facility which will enhance the productivity, the official said.
Though six other jails in Tamil Nadu including Vellore, Salem and Madurai make such file-pads, Puzhal is the only centre to make such stationery out of demonetised currency.Approximately 1.5 lakh file-pads are produced every month in Tamil Nadu.Central jails in the state specialise in other areas of production apart from stationery-making by using convicts as its labour force.

Returning late from a snowshoe trip to the Mount Baker area, we stopped in the small town of Maple Falls to get a sandwich and gas. It was quiet, and the darkness beyond the brightly lit gas station reminded me of the paintings of Edward Hopper–one of my favorite American artists. I carefully composed the photograph in several ways, and this turned out to be my favorite. The name for the photograph comes from a Bruce Springsteen album, which has some of the same thematic elements as this photograph: the power of darkness, the lure of the open road, and the magic and threat of night.

Dallas Cowboys fans were made to endure a miserable Monday morning after a tough divisional loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday (Jan. 22). While the team seemed prepared to blast through the playoffs, the stinging defeat has members of rival teams and football fans in general on Twitter frying America's Team.
The Dallas Cowboys, led by quarterback Dak Prescott, were seen as the underdogs in the contests by the sports betting world. However, some analysts believed that the veteran-stacked team would defeat the San For 49ers, who were led to victory by rookie quarterback Brock Purdy.
It wasn't a blowout as the 49ers edged the Cowboys 19-12, and there were some missed opportunities and injuries on the Cowboys' side that also hindered their chances. Cowboys running back Tony Pollard also suffered a severe leg injury in the game, putting a considerable dent in part of the team's hopes on offense.
It isn't a secret that in the NFC division, Cowboys fans are among the most passionate next to perhaps the Philadelphia Eagles team supporting base. That usually means plenty of season-long trash talk with the only thing left to do is have it proven on the field.
With the 49ers moving on to the NFC Championship to face the Eagles in Philly and Skip Bayless somewhere having an epic meltdown over the Dallas Cowboys losing last night, Twitter is rife with commentary and we've collected some of the best responses to the moment below.

Q: Windows keyboard logging. A trait of the WM_CHAR message in various applications Good day. There was a need to monitor typed text, ie No keystrokes, but namely derived characters.
At the beginning I use the raw input method for obtain a virtual key codes of pressed keys, but this decision had to be abandoned because failed to properly convert virtual key codes to characters.
MapVirtualKeyEx + LoadKeyboardLayout - did not give the desired effect, ie if the load the Russian layout by calling LoadKeyboardLayout, then MapVirtualKeyEx still returns to Latin A for code 0x41.
So I began to use the hook WM_GETMESSAGE.
if (nCode < 0)
    return CallNextHookEx(NULL, nCode, wParam, lParam);

// WH_GETMESSAGE
if (nCode == HC_ACTION)
{
    PMSG pMsg = (PMSG)lParam;
    if (pMsg != NULL)
    {
        if ((pMsg->message == WM_CHAR)||(pMsg->message == WM_UNICHAR))
        {
            keyEntry.character = pMsg->wParam;
            ipc->SendData(&keyEntry, sizeof(CHARENTRY));
        };
    };
};

return CallNextHookEx(NULL, nCode, wParam, lParam);

Everything works fine, including for the characters with Dead key.
But when I tried to type the text in the editor of a visual studio, problems occured:

*

*For one key press comes two identical messages WM_CHAR;

*For the Cyrillic characters the value WM_CHAR-> wParam does not match the characters typed, for Latin - all right.

How to convert virtual key code to a character considering input language of the process in which the text is typed + able to recruit composite characters (for example: ô). Or tell me how to solve the problems in the version with hooks.
Thanks in advance )

A: A keyboard generates two scan codes when the user types a key — one when the user presses the key and another when the user releases the key.
Source : About Keyboard Input - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646267(v=vs.85).aspx
WM_CHAR will only be UTF-16 if the application is compiled for Unicode as
the character encoding (i.e. the difference between MBCS and UNICODE). If
your application is built with MBCS (multi-byte character set), then the
system will use the current system code page to convert the Unicode
character to "Ansi" (in quotes) and send that.
So check in your build settings for which character encoding your app is
configured for.

To Whom It May Confound::
Dear Word Detective: I recently received an e-mail from my brother in which he told me he wouldn't be coming to visit me this weekend because he had received a "Dear John" letter from his girlfriend. I gather that she dumped him, but why "Dear John"? His name is Craig. -- Frank Golding, Brooklyn, NY.
Well, you could suggest to your brother that his girlfriend actually meant to dump one of her other boyfriends, but he's probably not in a mood for humor.
There are worse things out there in the postal system than junk mail, and one of them has been a fixture of life since the Second World War -- the "Dear John letter." A "Dear John letter" is a missive penned by one's paramour in which she (or he) abruptly announces an end to the relationship. "Dear John letter" entered the public vocabulary via the military during WWII, a conflict which sent millions of husbands and boyfriends overseas, many of whom discovered that absence, especially prolonged for years, often does not make the heart grow fonder. As a Rochester, NY newspaper explained in 1947:
"Dear John," the letter began. "I have found someone else whom I think the world of. I think the only way out is for us to get a divorce," it said. They usually began like that, those letters that told of infidelity on the part of the wives of servicemen... The men called them "Dear Johns."
The pain of receiving such a letter in the midst of a war in a far-away land must have been made all the worse by the stilted salutation apparently common in such messages -- "Dear John," rather than the expected "Dear Johnny," "My Dearest John" or simply "Darling" -- and probably explains how "Dear John letter" came to stand for the entire phenomenon of long-distance postal dumping.
"Dear John letter" may also be the key to another popular phrase, "That's all she wrote," meaning "That's all there is" or "That's the end of it." According to some authorities, a joke current among servicemen during WWII had a soldier opening a letter and reading it aloud to his comrades. "Dear John," he reads, and then abruptly stops. His mates urge him to go on reading. "That's all she wrote," he says, holding up a letter blank except for the deadly salutation.

DEAR JOHN LETTER
[Q] From Pien Metz: "As a non-native speaker of the English language, I still wonder where the phrase Dear John letter comes from. I have always taken it to be a letter in which the recipient is told a love affair is over, but I might be amiss."
[A] No, you have it right. It's conventionally a letter from a woman to a boyfriend or husband saying that all is over between them, usually because the woman has found somebody else. A much more recent phrase that reflects today's sexual equality is Dear Jane letter.
The expression seems from the evidence to have been invented by Americans during the Second World War. At this time, thousands of US servicemen were stationed overseas for long periods; many of them found that absence didn't make the heart grow fonder. The unhappy news was necessarily communicated in a letter. A writer in the Democrat and Chronicle of Rochester, NY, summed it up in August 1945:
"Dear John," the letter began. "I have found someone else whom I think the world of. I think the only way out is for us to get a divorce," it said. They usually began like that, those letters that told of infidelity on the part of the wives of servicemen... The men called them "Dear Johns".
Why Dear John? That isn't entirely clear but a couple of pointers give a plausible basis for it. John was a common generic name for a man at this period (think also of terms like John Doe for an unknown party to a legal action). Such letters were necessarily written in a formal way, since any note of affection would obviously have been out of place. So a serviceman getting a letter from his wife or girlfriend that started so stiffly knew at once that a certain kind of bad news had arrived.
Several subscribers have mentioned a song on the theme of receiving a "Dear John" letter, suggesting it was the origin of the phrase. However, online sources say it appeared only in 1953, several years after the phrase had become established. A more plausible source was suggested by Dick Kovar—in a pre-World War Two radio programme called Dear John, starring Irene Rich, which was presented as a letter by a gossipy female character to her never-identified romantic interest and which opened with these words. Proving a link is likely to be impossible, but it's conceivable this played a part in the genesis of the term.

Blackstone Group mega deal to ripple through Gulf Coast
GLP US sale highlights ways industrial real estate has changed nature of warehouses
by: Kevin McQuaid Commercial Real Estate Editor
EYE: Commercial real estate
Blackstone Group's record $18.7 billion acquisition of the U.S. industrial assets of Singapore-based GLP will have ripples throughout Florida, analysts say.
GLP agreed earlier this month to sell some 179 million square feet of industrial space to New York-based Blackstone in what is believed to be the largest single commercial real estate transaction in history.
Gulf Coast industrial real estate specialists say the deal, which involves more than two million square feet in the Tampa area and Lakeland, in the prized Interstate 4 corridor, highlights how industrial space evolved in recent years to be an integral part of the global supply chain.
"What's happened is that warehouses have gone from places where people used to just keep stuff to an essential part of running a successful global operation," says Ed Miller, an executive managing director and principal at commercial real estate brokerage firm Colliers International Tampa Bay.
"This sale puts Blackstone in a position to have solid market share in key areas all around the country, including Florida," Miller adds.
Prior to the sale, GLP had owned 24 buildings in Tampa, around Tampa International Airport and in Lakeland. GLP officials in Orlando did not return telephone calls for comment on the transaction, and Blackstone representatives in New York did not respond for comment.
"Those three areas are very good places to be in this market," Miller says. "And the variety of sizes and types of product they'll have will allow them to accommodate a large number of customers."
In Lakeland, four properties' key locations, together with their 1980s vintage, represent a significant potential for redevelopment.
Among its properties there are 7105 New Tampa Highway, a 247,700-square-foot building completed in 1989 on 8.84 acres; 5200 Regions Court, a 217,850-square-foot building on 11 acres completed in 1988; and 5300 Regions Court, a 73,714-square-foot building on nearly five acres completed in 1987, according to Colliers International data.
Each of the properties are near the critical distribution nexus of Interstate 4 and County Line Road, a sought-after location by logistics firms.
Both Miller and John Dunphy, an executive vice president of industrial services with commercial real estate brokerage JLL, say the deal will give Blackstone a footing in both e-commerce-inspired logistics and "last-mile delivery" of goods to consumers, which is the fastest-growing segment of the industrial real estate landscape.
The same week Blackstone and GLP unveiled their deal, for instance, Amazon announced plans to roll out free, one-day shipping of more than 10 million products to its Prime members. The Seattle-based company also says it will spend about $800 million to halve its current delivery time throughout North America.
"I think what this says is that Blackstone really believes the industrial segment is poised for further growth," says Dunphy. "If you look at their investment track record, it's spectacular, and I think this deal will be a real wake up call to a lot of players in the industrial arena."
Despite the disposition, GLP, whose U.S. headquarters is in Chicago, hopes to ramp up its North American holdings. The company, one of the largest industrial real estate owners in the world, first entered the U.S. market in 2015.
Blackstone, too, has been an eager buyer of industrial properties globally. In the past decade, the company with $140 billion in assets under management has acquired more than 930 million square feet of industrial space.
CoStar Group officials say Blackstone may have specifically and strategically targeted the GLP assets because of their familiarity: Turns out Blackstone previously owned roughly half of the GLP portfolio that was sold.
Andrew Rybczynski, a CoStar senior consultant, says Blackstone in early 2015 sold more than 1,100 buildings to GLP for $8.1 billion. Many of those same properties are part of the recent portfolio deal.
But the recent transaction, more than the one that occurred four years ago, focuses on properties that involve distribution rather than just warehousing, including a pair of 1.5 million-square-foot properties once owned by appliance maker Whirlpool. The distinction is significant, Rybczynski says, and reflects the growing importance of logistics as a part of e-commerce consumer sales.
Rybczynski also emphasizes that much of the Blackstone purchase centers on properties in the Southeast, where population growth has exceeded other geographic areas in the U.S. Florida's population, for instance, has grown to more than 20 million and roughly 1,000 new residents migrate to the state daily, according to U.S. Census figures.
"This newer portfolio focuses more on areas of growth in terms of population as well as adjusts for the Panama Canal expansion," Rybczynski adds.

Hmm – tricky to explain what this is.. its NOT Progressive House, its not Disco. its certainly not Euphoric. It is about 125bpm, if that helps. Maybe its Tech House?
Err.. well, anyway, its kinda nice. (I think).. Put it like this, it'd be perfect to wake up to and it'll keep you sane by gently getting your brain in gear as you commute through the dark Winter morning.
Not too catchy for a genre name, granted, but dont worry about the name, just enjoy the music!

Financial"In this environment, a 10% move is nothing."
Morning Coffee: War means traders brace for seismic recalibration of reality. Morgan Stanley's accessible jobs attract new elite
How do you price in the threat of nuclear war? On a day in a week that's likely to define an epoch, irrespective of Putin's threat, talking about the travails of traders seems immaterial, and yet for anyone working in financial markets, today is going to be a day of enormity.
As Jim Reid, global head of fundamental credit strategy at Deutsche Bank, writes, today is likely to be up there with the most consequential and complex trading days of recent years: "The Lehman collapse, the bailout of AIG, the conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the Greek default, the near miss with other peripherals, Draghi's "whatever it takes", the Japanese earthquake, the Brexit vote, the 2016 US election night, and the pandemic to name a selection," says Reid. It's not just Putin's threat, which the Financial Times says is being taken seriously, it's the range of sanctions against Russia, the shifting of the "tectonic plates" of geopolitics, and the potential governmental and fiscal response. Even before this all happened, Business Insider said traders were positioned for a "cataclysmic shift" and potential market collapse. What now?
Anything related to Russia will clearly be in the eye of the storm. "In this environment, a 10% move is nothing," Yury Arkhangelskiy, a Russian broker, told Bloomberg of the prospects for the ruble (which is already down 29% this morning): "The market is panicking and investors are getting rid of Russian assets." Norway's oil fund is disposing of $3bn of Russian holdings; BP is taking a potential $25bn hit in dumping its shares in Rosneft. The Russian financial system will be in danger of collapse following the decision to sanction Russia's central bank; this morning, it raised the interest rate to 20%, a move that will challenge Russian households who've loaded up on debt in recent years, according to analysis by Adam Tooze of Columbia University.
Then there are the effects on real, physical trade. Many people will have seen the list doing the rounds on social media about Ukraine's significance as an exporter. More than 25% of global exports of wheat and grain come from Russia. As the Wall Street Journal points out, war in Ukraine threatens car parts, chips and sunflower oil. Factories making cars in Germany have already been shut down as a result. Commodity markets will be roiled.
And then there are the secondary effects. Zoltan Pozsar, Credit Suisse's global head of short term interest rate strategy and the expert on illiquid markets and shadow banking, is suggesting that the decision to ban some Russian lenders from SWIFT will prompt monetary authorities to again flood the system with dollars.
If you're working in financial markets, it's a lot to take in. As Reed points out, this day, and this week, look like the sorts of definitive days that are remembered for a generation. Individual reputations will be gained and lost. The risk landscape has metamorphosed, and against a backdrop of jarring threats and images from Ukraine, banks, traders and hedge funds need to take account of this.
Separately, in more quotidian news, Morgan Stanley is not easy to get into - even if you're applying through a program that's supposed to open the bank up to diverse applicants. The Financial Times reports that Morgan Stanley received 1,100 applicants to its program that made sales and trading jobs open to people without sales and trading experience. It accepted 14. It's now launching the same program in its investment bank.
Meanwhile...
"If you added the Russian central bank to the SDN list, it would be the single most impactful sanction that you could apply to Russia...it would render a sizeable chunk of their foreign exchange reserves unusable overnight." Everyone in the world would be "skittish about moving any assets on behalf of the Russian central bank." (Financial Times)
