Gold edges lower as investors await U.S. employment figures
Gold futures traded virtually unchanged Friday morning, as investors watched for a report on U.S. employment that could provide a catalyst for the yellow metal.
Bullion is headed for a sharp weekly fall, but the precious metal is still viewed by some commodity experts as a go-to asset in the face of an expected period of lower interest rates globally and nagging concerns about Wuhan virus.

So far, 638 people have died from the novel coronavirus strain that reportedly originated in Wuhan City, China, and the number of cases have ballooned to 31,000 thus far since the start of January, China's National Health Commission said on Friday.
"Gold remains above the $1,560 psychological level, still up by more than 3% so far in 2020, while U.S. 10-year Treasury yields remain some 15 percent lower compared with the start of the year," wrote Han Tan, market analyst at FXTM, in an emailed research note Friday.

Commodity investors may watch to see if U.S. employment remains healthy. The U.S. economy is expected to have added 165,000 jobs in the first month of the year, according to a poll of economists by MarketWatch. The unemployment rate is expected to hold at 3.5%. Average hourly wages are estimated to rise to 0.3% in January from 0.1% in the prior month. The Labor Department report is due at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time.

Sherlock Holmes – Der Seidenstrumpfmörder (Originaltitel: Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking) ist ein Fernsehfilm aus dem Jahr 2004 des Regisseurs Simon Cellan Jones für die BBC. Der Film basiert auf Arthur Conan Doyles Figuren Sherlock Holmes und Dr. Watson, die von Rupert Everett und Ian Hart gespielt werden.

Handlung
London im Jahr 1902: Sherlock Holmes führt ein einsames Leben in Langeweile, konsumiert Drogen und treibt sich in Opiumhöhlen herum. Als am Ufer der Themse eine Frauenleiche gefunden wird, versucht Watson, ihn für den Fall zu interessieren. Die unbekannte Tote hatte einen Seidenstrumpf um den Hals und aufgrund der Kleidung vermutet man, sie wäre eine Prostituierte gewesen. Holmes hat kein Interesse an dem Fall und schickt Watson wieder fort, doch als er sich das Foto der Frau genauer ansieht, erkennt er, dass es sich bei ihr um Alice Pentney handelt, eine Lady aus der Oberschicht. Ihre Mutter Mrs. Pentney ist die Herzogin von Narborough. Der Herzog von Narborough, Lord Pentney, gibt Holmes daraufhin den Auftrag, den Mörder seiner Tochter zu finden. Holmes findet heraus, dass das Opfer mit Schlafmittel in einem Brandy betäubt wurde und den Mörder gekannt haben muss.

Watsons Verlobte Mrs. Vandeleur, eine Psychoanalytikerin aus den USA, vermutet ein sexuelles Motiv und macht Sherlock auf das Buch Psychopathia sexualis aufmerksam. Als nächstes Opfer wird Georgina Massingham an einer Straßenlaterne aufgehängt gefunden. Sie wurde mit Chloroform betäubt, hatte ebenfalls einen Seidenstrumpf um den Hals und trug die Kleidung von Alice Pentney. Beide Opfer ließen ihre Schuhe bei Schuhmacher Bilney anfertigen. Über Mr. Bilney kommen sie auf dessen ehemalige Angestellte Sarah O'Brien, die angeblich Selbstmord begangen haben soll. Watson lässt Sarah O'Brien exhumieren und man erkennt, dass sie das erste Opfer des Serienmörders war und er dem späteren Opfer Alice Pentney ihre Kleider angezogen hatte.

Bei der Beerdigung von Georgina wird die 13-jährige Imogen Helhoughton entführt, doch der Täter lässt sie wieder frei, nachdem er entdeckte, dass sie einen Klumpfuß hat. Holmes findet heraus, dass der jetzige persönliche Diener der Herzogin von Narborough, Charles Allen, in den Häusern aller drei Opfer beschäftigt war. Allen hat jedoch für alle Tatzeiten ein sicheres Alibi.

Holmes benutzt Roberta Massingham als Köder für den Täter und tatsächlich wird Charles Allen dabei erwischt, wie er sie gerade betäubt. Allen wird festgenommen, doch Holmes erklärt, dass er einen Zwillingsbruder haben muss, was auch sein Alibi erklären würde. Anhand der Fingerabdrücke erkennen sie, dass sie den falschen gefangen haben. Der andere Zwillingsbruder entführt inzwischen Roberta aus ihrem Zimmer. Holmes und Watson finden sein Versteck, befreien Roberta und können beide Zwillingsbrüder festnehmen. Watson heiratet schließlich seine Verlobte.

Hintergrund
 Wie bereits in der BBC-Verfilmung Der Hund der Baskervilles aus dem Jahr 2002 wurde der Film wieder von Tiger Aspect Productions produziert und das Drehbuch von Allan Cubitt geschrieben. Dr. Watson wird wieder von Ian Hart gespielt, Richard Roxburgh wurde jedoch durch Rupert Everett als Sherlock Holmes ersetzt.

 Der Dialog zu Beginn des Films, in welchem Holmes meint, Watson hätte siebeneinhalb Pfund zugelegt und Watson darauf besteht, dass es nur sieben Pfund wären, stammt aus der Geschichte Ein Skandal in Böhmen.

Kritiken

Auszeichnungen
 Rupert Everett war in der Kategorie Bester Darsteller in einer Miniserie oder einem Fernsehfilm für die Satellite Awards 2005 nominiert.
 Adrian Johnston war für die Filmmusik für einen RTS Television Award 2005 der Royal Television Society nominiert.

The All-on-4® treatment concept (Nobel Biocare) within the framework of fixed implant-borne total rehabilitation for the maxilla and mandible is a scientifically proven and clinically prescribed therapy.
The All-on-4® surgical protocol, developed at the end of the 1990s by Paolo Malo, provides simple and immediate full-arch rehabilitation for edentulous patients with 12 fixed teeth on just 4 implants, with immediate loading, no later than 24 hours after the operation.
In the clinical study chosen for this issue of the "IFCIA newsletter", we provide a stage-by-stage description of mandible rehabilitation development using a fixed prosthesis based on a simple, accurate and standard protocol and quick execution, restoring the patient's masticatory function and aesthetics.
In this retrospective study, 44 patients received screw-retained full-arch acrylic resin provisional prostheses connected on 4 or 6 implants in the mandible or maxilla, respectively. With a mean follow-up of 17.6 months, 3 of 205 implants were lost and replaced successfully. Cosmetic fractures were observed and fixed in six patients.
The results confirmed that immediate loading of 4 mandibular or 6 maxillary implants with an acrylic resin prosthesis for full-arch rehabilitation is a reliable technique in the short- and long-term.
Special edition of Le Fil Dentaire: "Bone management in implantology"
In this special edition of Le Fil Dentaire published in September 2017 on "Bone management in implantology", we have included numerous clinical cases which in order to cover the most common approaches in our daily work, based on a well-defined therapeutic gradient.
The term "emergency" describes the onset of a painful, acute phenomenon requiring a precise diagnosis so it can be treated quickly and correctly. This last point is particularly important when dealing with a periodontal emergency, in which gum pain is often associated with extensive tissue impairment with a high risk of deterioration. Among periodontal diseases, periodontal abscesses and necrotic periodontal diseases are among the most frequent reasons for emergency consultations. Nevertheless, even if their prevalence is minimal, certain gum diseases which are not induced by plaque, are also characterised by intense pain, which, beyond the periodontal repercussions, may also compromise the patient's health considerably.
Immediate loading: a comfortable solution for the patient.
In this issue of the "IFCIA Newsletter", we are dealing with complete oral rehabilitation after the extraction of multiple teeth, placement of implants, MCI and prosthetic construction. The use of simple and accurate protocols enabled us to optimise the restoration of the masticatory function and the aesthetic requests of the patient.
The "socket shield" technique seems beneficial to the patient. It incorporates the benefits of immediate implant placement with provisional restoration. The patient undergoes one intervention and benefits from fixed implant-supported prosthesis on the day of the surgery.
Background: Few large-scale follow-up studies are reported on routine implant treatment.
Purpose: To report retrospective data on early inflammatory and early implant failures in a large number of routine patients at one private referral clinic.
The loss of a dental organ normally causes bone resorption, —a topic widely discussed in scientific and clinical journals. In order to optimise the results of both the biomechanics and aesthetics of the incisive section, reconstruction of the tissue lost is required. Both hard and soft tissue are involved.
Several techniques have been developed and applied; bone grafts, guided bone regeneration, vertical and horizontal osteotomies, connective tissue grafts to name but a few... with the single objective of getting closer to the initial state of the teeth and obtaining satisfactory, stable and long-lasting results.
Une patiente est adressée pour un avis de réhabilitation implanto-portée en remplaçement des dents n° 24 et 25. Elles présentent des atteintes endodontiques et parodontales importantes rendant leur pronostic défavorable.
Le CBCT révèle un volume osseux satisfaisant ce qui a orienté notre choix thérapeutique, malgré la perte d'une table osseuse vestibulaire, vers l'option de l'extraction-implantation associée à une régénération osseuse guidée simultanée à une mise en esthétique immédiate.
Ce protocole permet de réduire considérablement le nombre d'interventions et offre un confort très apprécié par les patients.
Extraction, Immediate implant placement and loading in the maxilla incisor sector. Management of a fenestration with guided bone regeneration (GBR).
Immediate extraction implantation is a technique which has been used and approved with a clinical track record. Loading immediately after the implant is put in place is provided by a provisional crown. In the anterior sector, this approach has several advantages: on one hand, it provides the patient with significant aesthetic comfort and psychological ease, and on the other hand, on a morphological level, it helps to control the peri-implant mucosa healing process and maturation by preparing the site for pleasant and stable aesthetic outcomes over time.
In this clinical case, the stages of replacement of a central incisor presenting inflamed periradicular lesions of endodontic origin and bone fenestration (vestibular) will be described. The stages of extraction and immediate implantation associated with guided bone regeneration, connective tissue grafts and the placement of a immediate provisional crown have also been extensively described.

Lions SightFirst Foundation and EyeCare4Kids Providing Life-changing Eye Surgeries
by John Dye | Sep 6, 2022 | News | 0 comments
The Lions Clubs of Nevada is a part of Lions Clubs International, a network of volunteers who work together to answer the needs that challenge communities around the world. The Lions Club is one of the oldest service-based clubs in the United States and has a particular focus on helping people and the community with vision-related problems.
The Lions SightFirst Foundation of Southern Nevada is dedicated to providing excellent vision care to economically disadvantaged people in our community. Its goal is to eliminate preventable blindness and visual impairment.
"EyeCare4Kids is proud to partner with The Lions Club to provide vision care to our Southern Nevada community," said Stephanie Kirby, executive director of EyeCare4Kids Nevada. "With shared values and purpose, we will accomplish a lot together."
As a result of a generous grant and professionals who volunteer their time and talents, individuals with a financial need who have been diagnosed with glaucoma or cataracts can receive surgery through the Lions SightFirst Foundation. To date, this foundation has provided life-changing surgeries to dozens of EyeCare4Kids patients.
In addition, during the holiday season of 2021, EyeCare4Kids was included as one of the charities to benefit from the Light the World Giving Machines through Latter-day Saint Charities. The Giving Machines invited people to support charities and nonprofit organizations through donations collected in vending machines in select cities across the country. As a result of the remarkable donations made to EyeCare4Kids from the Light the World campaign, eligible EyeCare4Kids' patients can receive pterygium surgery while funds are available. The surgery is also possible because of the kindness of Lions Club members, specifically, Dr. Peter Debry.
Kirby added, "We thank our friends at the Lions Club as well as Latter-day Saints Charities for their commitment to our communities!"
Stay up to date on announcements and information from EyeCare4Kids™.
We would love to answer any questions you may have and help you learn how we can meet your child's vision needs.

Plan Your Trip for Dining in Lima
Considered one of the best food cities in the world, Lima combines the diversity of the Amazon and Andes with fresh seafood from the Pacific Ocean and the influences of its Chinese, Japanese, African, Arabic, and French immigrants. The result is a vibrant culinary scene that I found intimidating on my first visit. After all, there are so many unique dishes, outstanding restaurants, and a limited number of meals to enjoy. This is a guide to help you know where to find the best food in Lima.
Although Lima gets fresh vegetables and fruit year-round from the Amazon, Andes, and local sources, dishes here revolve around meat, potatoes, and rice. Salads are an afterthought, and veggies are often an accent.
Fresh ingredients from the Amazon and Andes, plus the influence of Lima's many immigrants, give the city its rich culinary diversity. Photo by Teresa Bitler
Prepare to be wowed by the diversity of flavors. Dishes often include ingredients you won't likely find elsewhere. Watch for some of the country's 4,000 different potato varieties or 55 types of corn to make an appearance on your plate. Not to mention unique fruits or meats like cuy (guinea pig).

Said to have originated with the Moche, a pre-Incan civilization in Peru and Ecuador, ceviche consists of the morning's catch of fresh fish marinated in lime juice and spicy rocoto peppers. It is then garnished with onion, corn, and sweet potato. You can find it on the menu at restaurants serving traditional dishes or seafood.

If you want to eat like a local, drink the leche de tigre, the leftover marinade, if offered in a separate shot glass. It is better to order ceviche before lunch as it is freshest in the morning. However, don't worry if you can't resist having some for dinner. I did, and it was just as tasty, in my opinion.
Papa a la Huancaína features boiled Peruvian potatoes topped with a spicy cheese sauce called huancaína and a boiled egg cut in half. The sauce gets its kick from ají Amarillo, the nation's favorite pepper, and appears in other dishes. But it's most associated with this dish.
Huancaína sauce is used in a variety of dishes. Photo by Teresa Bitler
Restaurants usually serve papa a la huancaína as an appetizer. While you can find it at restaurants serving traditional Peruvian food, it's also sold by street vendors.
Lima families that don't indulge in chifa, on Sunday enjoy pollo a la brasa, a soy-and-spice-marinated whole roast chicken. Traditionally, the chicken comes with French fries, salad on the side, and aji verde dipping sauce. Not only is it tasty, but it's also wallet-friendly. And it's distinctly Peruvian.

The dish dates back to the 1940s when a Swiss immigrant decided to roast some of his chickens to earn extra cash. He set up a restaurant and sold all-you-could-eat roast chicken for a low price. Soon, others followed his example, opening restaurants in Lima. Today you'll find restaurants dedicated to Pollo a la Brasa all over the city.
Another cheap option, the pan con chicharrón, is probably one of the best late-night foods you'll find in Lima—or anywhere. This tasty sandwich features a fried pork belly topped with sweet potato and a salsa made of onions, aji chilies, and cilantro all between thick French bread. I recommend getting it with an order of French fries if that's an option.

Lima residents also eat pan con chicharrón for breakfast. Whether you order it early in the morning, late at night, or sometime in between, you can find pan con chicharrón at sandwich shops and food markets throughout the city.
Inspired by the Chinese immigrants who came to Peru in the 19th century, lomo saltado is a stir fry of soy sauce-marinated tenderloin, sirloin, onions, and red peppers. The two versions I had both came topped with a fried egg and potatoes (or French fries) on the side. Like Chinese food in the US, it can also be served with white rice.

Lomo saltado is one of the most popular forms of chifa. Ask anyone born in Lima, and they'll tell you chifa is a distinctly Peruvian cuisine. However, many chifa dishes look similar to what you'd get at an old-school Chinese restaurant in San Francisco. More on that in the next section.
A fusion of classic Chinese dishes and local ingredients, chifa is the Sunday dinner of choice for many Peruvians. Families share large plates of dumplings, noodles, stir-fries, and fried rice at restaurants dedicated solely to chifa. Or they'll make their favorite dishes at home to share on a smaller scale.
Chifa is inspired by dishes brought over by Chinese immigrants. Photo by Teresa Bitler
Because chifa are so popular, you'll find chifa restaurants everywhere in Lima. These range from higher-end restaurants with sleek interiors to no-frills mom-and-pop shops. However, the dishes are mostly the same. While you won't see kung pao chicken on any chifa menu, the dishes should seem familiar. Think lo mein, fried rice, and safe selections from a 1970s Chinese restaurant.
Just as chifa is a Peruvian-Chinese fusion, Nikkei pairs Japanese techniques with Peruvian ingredients. Many of these ingredients come from the Amazon and Andes. As a result, the presentation and flavor combinations can't be duplicated elsewhere. In fact, several Lima restaurants rank among the best restaurants in the world. This includes Central, the world's second-best restaurant according to The World's 50 Best Restaurants, and Maido, which takes place No. 11.

Dishes vary at Nikkei restaurants but look for sushi showcasing colorful potatoes, peppers, and corn. Chefs also put a Peruvian spin on Maki rolls and tiradito, thin strips of fresh fish, or add Japanese ingredients to traditional Lima favorites. Just know that you will need to make reservations well in advance at Nikkei restaurants, which will be a splurge.
Many travelers think cuy when you mention Peruvian food. While you can find guinea pigs on the menu at some restaurants, it isn't common in Lima. If you want to try it, you'll have more luck finding it outside of the city.
It isn't just about the food in Lima. The city is known for its drinks as well. Be sure to try these beverages when you visit.
The national drink of Peru starts with three ounces of pisco, a white brandy made from Peruvian muscat grapes. Add an ounce of lime juice and an ounce of simple syrup combined with one ounce of egg white. Shake and top with three drops of aromatic bitters when poured into a glass. It's frothy and markedly sour but oh-so-tasty. Pisco sours were my drink of choice, especially with ceviche.

For a less sour version, try the maracuya sour, which replaces some of the lime juice with passion fruit juice.
Created in 1935 by British transplant Joseph Lindley, this bright neon yellow drink is Peru's favorite cola. It is technically lemon verbena, a combination of 13 plant-derived flavors. But most Americans, myself included, describe it as tasting like bubble gum. (Some also say cream soda.) It's overly sweet and not something I'd seek out but worth a try.
Many think Inca Kola, the nation's most popular soft drink, tastes like bubble gum. Photo by Teresa Bitler
Tip: My host told me that it was a faux pas to order a Coke with chifa. Peruvians drink Inca Kola when at a chifa restaurant. That's just what you do.
Nine of Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants are in Lima, but you don't have to eat at one of these top restaurants to have an incredible meal here. Any of these restaurants are worth seeking out.
According to The World's 50 Best Restaurants, Central is as good as it gets, placing No. 2 on the list. (It comes in at No. 1 on the Latin American list.) The contemporary Peruvian restaurant's tasting menu leads you through the country's farmlands, jungles, lakes, and coastal areas, one course at a time. Be prepared to pay at least $175 per person for the 12-course experience ($250 with wine pairings). And be sure to make your reservations several months in advance.
Located inside the Iberostar Selection Miraflores, this restaurant wows diners with traditional Peruvian dishes like ceviche and lomo saltado. But you'll also find grilled octopus and other Mediterranean-influenced dishes on the menu. Many of the restaurant's casual dishes, like its ceviche, are also served upstairs at the hotel's rooftop bar, 27 Tapas. I highly recommend visiting the bar, especially at sunset, even if it's just for a drink before dinner downstairs.
Ortega & Huamán features Peruvian ingredients, like these mashed potato tubes and native peppers. Photo by Teresa Bitler
Overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the Barranco neighborhood, Cala Restaurante specializes in fresh seafood and serves beef, pasta, and risotto. I suggest starting with a seafood tower or ceviche. Then, try the salmon. The excellent-but-reasonably-priced food is reason enough to visit Cala, and so are the sunsets. Make a reservation to ensure you get a table on the patio or at a window.
Cala Restaurante specializes in fresh seafood. Photo by Teresa Bitler
Maido restaurant ranks No. 11 among The World's 50 Best Restaurants and is no less challenging to get a reservation for than Central. Helmed by chef Mitsuharu 'Micha' Tsumura, it features Nikkei cuisine that applies Japanese techniques to Peruvian ingredients. Choose from the Nikkei Experience ($141) or Veggie Experience ($88) tasting menus. There's an option to add wine to the Nikkei Experience for an extra $100. Again, make your reservations early to ensure a table.
For more than 25 years, friends and families have gathered around the large, red-clothed tables at Chifa Hou Wa to share platters of noodles, rice, and stir-fries. Resign yourself to the fact that you will have leftovers and go ahead and indulge. Since Huaca Pucllana is nearby, you may want to visit the ruins in the morning and drop by Chifa Hou Wa for lunch.

When I first saw La Lucha Sanguchería Criolla in Miraflores, I thought it was a 50s-style diner. But the sandwich shop is one of the best places in Lima to sample the pan con chicharrón. Since you're already risking clogged arteries when you order this fried pork belly sandwich, go all in and order fries. The restaurant also serves chicken and ham sandwiches as well as hamburgers.

While you can't possibly try everything Lima's amazing culinary scene has to offer or visit all of the city's best restaurants in one visit, these suggestions are a great start. If you are looking for other things to do in South America or seeking out great restaurants wherever you travel, Wander With Wonder is an excellent resource. Did I miss one of your favorite Lima finds? Please let me know in the comments below so I can try it on my next visit.

High chance of drier than average autumn4 months, 2 weeks ago
High chance of drier than average autumn
Source BoM.
It's not the news eastern and central Australia needed.
The Bureau of Meteorology has released its updated 2019 Autumn Outlook, showing a high chance of drier than average conditions for most of the country's east and warmer than average conditions for the entire country. It comes on the back of what will be Australia's warmest summer on record.
The Bureau's manager of long-range forecasting Dr Andrew Watkins admitted the outlook wasn't the news many would be wanting to hear.
"It won't come as a surprise to many that this summer will be our warmest on record, but apart from parts of northern Queensland, many locations fell short of their summer rainfall averages too," Dr Watkins said.
"Unfortunately, the outlook isn't giving a strong indication that we'll see above average rainfall in many areas over the autumn period. The only exception is for parts of inland Western Australia.
Unfortunately, the outlook isn't giving a strong indication that we'll see above average rainfall in many areas over the autumn period.
"Autumn is obviously a critical time of year for the agriculture sector in parts of the country. It's important to remember that despite what the outlook is suggesting, individual heavy rainfall events are always possible, and people should stay up to date with the latest seven-day forecast and warnings for their area."
The outlooks also show a strong chance of warmer than average conditions continuing into and throughout autumn.
"If we have a look at what's driving the outlook, we can see that Australia's two main climate drivers in the El Niño–Southern Oscillation and the Indian Ocean Dipole are currently in a neutral phase, meaning there's no strong influence from either.
"However, we are observing cooler than average waters of the coast of Western Australia and we expect this may influence weather patterns during autumn.
"The other factor is the ongoing influence with of the long-term increases in global air temperatures."
The Bureau will be releasing its summer summaries on Friday (March 1) but preliminary figures show the recent summer period will be Australia's warmest on record and among the top ten driest on record.
It's also expected the current summer period will be among the top five warmest on record for each state and territory.
Latest Outlook in full.

Called to discern new ways of relating
The General Conference of the United Methodist Church (UMC) is currently meeting in St Louis, USA. This is a gathering of nearly 1,000 delegates, elected by annual conferences of the Methodist Churches from around the world. Half of the delegates are laity (non-clergy members), half are clergy. A description of this body can be found at http://www.umc.org/who-we-are/general-conference
The Conference is meeting in Special Session, for the specific purpose of discussing (once again) human sexuality. There is a report from the Commission on the Way Forward, which specifically considers the way to maintain the unity of the church in the face of the polemical disagreements that have been occurring with regard to marrying people of the same gender.
There are a number of different proposals (called Plans) before the Conference, ranging from maintaining the status quo (and thus, not permitting marriages of same gender couples), through allowing local case-by-case decisions, to the removal of "all prohibitions that limit the role of homosexual people in the church". There is a useful chart which provides an overview of the four main Plans that are under consideration at http://s3.amazonaws.com/Website_Properties_UGC/learn/documents/GC2019-Plan-comparison.pdf
The website of the UMC has an interesting discussion, from the experience in the USA, of three other denominations who have wrestled with the same issue, and documents the results of those discussions in each case.
The Episcopal Church has opened the marriage rite to same-sex couples as well as opposite-sex couples. There has been controversy about same gender couples in this church since 2003, when an openly gay person was consecrated as a Bishop (see https://www.nytimes.com/2003/11/03/us/openly-gay-man-is-made-a-bishop.html)
In 2018, its General Convention voted to give each minister the right to determine whether to marry couples of the same gender (see the report at https://www.episcopalnewsservice.org/2018/07/13/convention-lets-its-yes-be-yes-agreeing-to-give-church-full-access-to-trial-use-marriage-rites/)
The Rev. Canon C. K. Robertson reported that "Although there were people within and outside The Episcopal Church who predicted a large schism after 2003, the actual number of members who left their congregations or dioceses was quite small. In those five dioceses where the bishop and others did leave, there were others who stayed and continued to move forward."
The rate of decline in The Episcopal Church has slowed significantly in recent years. The denomination has 1.7 million members, in 6,447 congregations. The splinter group which was formed in 2009, over the matter of sexuality, has just a thousand congregations.
In 2009, the national Assembly of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America voted to allow pastors to bless same-sex unions and permit churches to accept clergy and lay leaders in "publicly accountable," "monogamous" same-gender relationships. Decisions about such marriages are made locally by congregations, not by a centralised body. (There is a summary of the position, and a link to the full statement, at https://www.elca.org/Faith/Faith-and-Society/Social-Statements/Human-Sexuality)
There are 3.5 million members in 9,252 ECLA congregations. There have been about 750 congregations which have withdrawn from the ECLA over the past 20 years. However, the reasons for their departures relate, not only to debates over sexuality, but also to the 1999 agreement to enter into full communion with the Episcopal Church. (Closer relationships with fellow Christians of a slightly different denomination are obviously fraught with problems, for some people!)
The dissidents belong to two different Lutheran organisations, both of which are much smaller than the ECLA.
The Presbyterian Church (USA) has dealt with two major issues regarding human sexuality in recent years. In 2011, the majority of presbyteries (regional bodies) ratified language that allows its ordaining bodies to ordain and/or install clergy and lay leaders who are in same-gender relationships on a case-by-case basis. The decision was actually simply to remove one clause—the requirement to live "in fidelity within the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman or chastity in singleness" (see https://www.pcusa.org/news/2011/5/10/presbyterian-church-us-approves-change-ordination/)
In 2014, the denomination's General Assembly voted to allow individual clergy to officiate at same-sex weddings and congregational leadership to decide whether to hold such services. The wording used was cautious, but the step was taken (see https://www.pcusa.org/news/2015/3/17/presbyterian-church-us-approves-marriage-amendment/)
The Presbyterian Church has about 1.4 million members in 9,304 congregations. There have been departures over the past few years, and some of these dissidents have formed the Evangelical Covenant Order for Presbyterians, with 335 congregations.
The Rev. Robina Winbush, PC(USA) ecumenical officer, commented that "The over 40-year-old struggle within the PC(USA) for full inclusion of Christians who understand themselves to be LGBTI+ has called us to discern in new ways who and how Christ is calling us to be in relationship to one another and with the wider world."
She noted that, "While the struggle was extremely painful, once it was decided, it has allowed us to move forward with mission and ministry in new ways. It has allowed many within the PC(USA) to be authentic in their Christian identity and has allowed us to be in relationships with many who may not have been freely welcomed previously."
That sounds like a very positive situation. Let us hope that the United Methodist Church can make a decision that enables people in that denomination, also, to move forward in a reinvigorated and refreshed way.

Piranga rubrasummer tanager
By Kari Kirschbaum and Alicia Ivory
Summer tanagers breed throughout the eastern United States south of southern Pennsylvania and northern Illinois, in the southwestern United States and in northern Mexico. They winter from central Mexico through northern South America, as far south as Bolivia and Brazil (Robinson 1996).
In summer in the eastern portion of its range, summer tanagers primarily inhabit open woodlands of mixed oak and other hardwood trees. In the west, they live in riparian woodlands of cottonwoods and willows. They are also sometimes found in orchards, parks and roadside trees. In the winter, they continue to inhabit open woodlands, as well as tall secondary growth, gallery forest, forest edge, shaded plantations, and trees in parks and gardens along city streets. In Mexico, summer tanagers inhabit humid evergreen forest and tropical deciduous forest. Summer tanagers are typically found at low elevations, though they winter as high as 1800 m in Panama. (Robinson 1996; Isler and Isler 1987)

Summer tanagers are medium-sized birds, though rather large in comparison to other tanagers. They measure approximately 17 cm long and weigh an average of 30 g. Males are bright rose or orange-red throughout the year, and are distinguished from the scarlet tanager because their plumage is paler--not an intense scarlet--and because the summer tanager's wings and tail are red rather than black. Adult male summer tanagers have no crest. Females are olive above and orange-yellow below. They have conspicuous narrow yellow edging on their wing coverts. Some females develop complete male pigmentation as they age. Juvenile summer tanagers resemble adult females, but males often develop distinctive patches of red during the first winter.
There are two recognized subspecies of summer tanagers. The subspecies P. r. cooperi has paler plumage and is found in the western part of the range. The subspecies P. r. rubra has shorter wings, tails and legs and breeds primarily in the eastern part of the range. Robinson 1996; Isler and Isler1987; Terres,1980)
Average mass
Summer tanagers breed once annually, and raise one brood per summer. They are serially monogamous, that is, they keep one mate throughout each breeding season, but not necessarily in successive seasons. Breeding pairs form soon after arriving on the breeding grounds in the spring, and split up after the young disperse late in the breeding season. Male summer tanagers arrive on the breeding grounds in full song, usually a few days before females arrive. Courtship begins with frequent, sudden, energetic chases of the female by the male. Males may also display before the female, carrying food items and hopping about. Little else is known about summer tanager courtship.
Summer tanagers breed once annually, and raise one brood per summer. They serially monogamous and sexually mature at one year of age. Breeding pairs form soon after arriving on the breeding grounds, and split up after the young disperse late in the breeding season.
Nest building begins 2 to 4 weeks after the birds arrive on the breeding grounds in spring. The nest is usually built out on a horizontal branch about 2.5 to 10.5 m from the ground. The female builds the nest alone, though she is often accompanied by the male while searching for a site and suitable nest-building materials. The nest is constructed primarily of dried herbaceous vegetation, and lined with fine grasses. There seems to be some regional variation in the quality of summer tanager nests; birds in the eastern range usually build flimsy and ragged nests, while the nests of summer tanagers in the western part of the range are sturdy and well-constructed. (Robinson 1996; Isler and Isler 1987; Terres 1980)
Egg-laying begins immediately after the nest is completed. The female lays 3 to 4 eggs that are smooth and somewhat glossy, pale blue or pale green, and spotted reddish brown. Incubation is carried out by the female only and lasts 12 to 13 days. During this time, the male spends a lot of time resting and caring for his feathers. In some pairs, however, the male feeds the incubating female, who may beg him for food. The chicks are fed by both parents after hatching, though males may do so indirectly by first giving the food to the female, who then gives it to the chicks. The young are fed primarily whole food, though some regurgitated food is also given. After 8 to 10 days, the young leave the nest, and by day 10, they are can make short, fluttery flights. The adults attend the young for 2 to 4 weeks after fledging. (Robinson 1996; Isler and Isler 1987; Terres 1980)
Summer tanagers breed once annually.
Summer tanagers breed between April and August.
The female lays 3 to 4 eggs, which she incubates for 12 to 13 days. During this time, the male may feed the female. Both parents feed the altricial chicks during the nestling stage, which lasts 8 to 10 days. The female also broods the chicks for at least four days after hatching. Both parents feed the chicks for 2 to 4 weeks after they fledge.
During the nestling stage, both parents sanitize the nest by removing fecal sacs. (Robinson 1996; Isler and Isler 1987; Terres 1980).
The longest recorded lifespan of a summer tanager is 5 years. There is very little information on survivorship and life span of this species (Robinson 1996).
Summer tanagers are usually solitary birds, except during the breeding and migratory seasons. Pairs are seldom seen by humans, as they tend to conceal themselves in the tops of the tallest trees. The song of the male is quite recognizable, being rich and musical, not buzzy or harsh like the song of the scarlet tanager. The male sings vigorously all day during the breeding season, especially while trying to attract females and establish a territory. Some females sing a garbled version of the males' song. Both sexes give a loud, clicking call, which is used in various situations.
The summer tanager is migratory. Migratory flocks can be as large as 30 individuals, though it is not known if these flocks fly together or simply gather when on the ground. Tanagers sometimes join mixed-species flocks, especially at forest edges and fruiting trees.
Tanagers generally migrate at night, as shown by the presence of many TV tower casualties. They also sleep primarily at night, though they sometimes take brief naps during the day. Their flight is swift and direct. The summer tanager often sits still on its perch, and then moves in sudden bursts. Breeding pairs preen frequently, and individuals occasionally sunbathe.
Male summer tanagers defend their nest site and a feeding territory during the breeding season. After arrival on the breeding grounds, rival males give vigorous flying chases in competition for territory. There is some physical contact between males at this time. Males also engage in a lot of counter-singing at the beginning of the breeding season. During the incubation period, males have been observed chasing females back to the nest. Should the male hear the song of an intruder male within his territory, he will respond by searching him out (Robinson, 1996; Isler and Isler, 1987; Terres, 1980).
arboreal
Average territory size
90,000 to 110,000 m^2
There is no data available on the home range of summer tanagers. Territory sizes have not been well-studied, but one study found territory sizes of 90,000 to 110,000 square meters (Robinson 1996).
Summer tanagers communicate using vocalizations and physical displays. Male summer tanagers defend their nest site and territory by singing and chasing rival males, sometimes coming into physical contact during these chases. They also engage in counter-singing at the beginning of the breeding season. This is the practice of singing in response to neighboring males. Males attract mates by singing and chasing the females. Summer tanagers have a musical song unlike the buzzy songs of other tanagers. They also use several call notes to communicate (Robinson, 1996; Isler and Isler, 1987; Terres, 1980).
Summer tanagers are primarily insectivorous, eating a wide variety of flying and non-flying insects, such as beetles (order Coleoptera), dragonflies (suborder Anisoptera), grubs, cicadas (family Cicadidae), grasshoppers, ants (family Formicidae), caterpillars, weevils and spiders (order Araneae). They also eat fruits such as blackberries, whortleberries, mulberries, pokeweed, citrus and bananas, especially during the late breeding season, migration and on the winter range. However, the primary components of summer tanagers' diets are bees (superfamily Apoidea) and wasps. They frequently attack wasp nests until the wasps abandon their nest, leaving the larvae for the tanager to devour. Summer tanagers occasionally capture food on the ground, but forage primarily in the tops of trees, where adult bees and wasps are caught in flight. Once prey has been caught, tanagers take the insect back to a perch and beat it against the perch until it dies. By wiping wasps on a branch before eating them, tanagers removes the stingers and other inedible body parts. (Robinson, 1996; Isler and Isler, 1987; Terres, 1980)
Predation of summer tanagers has not been directly observed. However, summer tanagers have been seen reacting aggressively to blue jays, Cooper's hawks, raccoons, squirrels and black rat snakes, suggesting that these are potential predators. Summer tanagers do mob predators, diving at them and calling vigorously. (Robinson 1996)
Summer tanagers affect the populations of the insects they eat. They also spread seeds of the plants whose fruits they eat. They host at least three species of external parasites, including a louse (Philopterus subflavescens) and two mites (Trombicula irritans and Sternostoma pirangae).
Ecosystem Impact
disperses seeds
Summer tanagers eat insect species that some people consider to be pests, such as bees and wasps.
There are no known adverse affects of summer tanagers on humans.
The North American breeding population of summer tanagers has remained relatively steady, and there are no pressing concerns for protection of this species. They are not protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, but are protected by the U.S. Migratory Bird Act. The most significant human impact on this species is probably destruction of breeding habitat. However collision with television towers during nocturnal migrations is also a significant source of mortality.
There are two recognized subspecies of summer tanager: P. r. cooperi in the west, and P. r. rubra in the east. (Robinson 1996)
Summer tanagers are also known as beebirds, calico warblers, and crimson tanagers.

Ministry in Training: Walk of Faith House
By Chris York on April 24, 2018
Walk of Faith is a twelve to fifteen month in house regeneration program for women struggling with addictions. We work to establish their identity in Christ, which leads to a road to freedom from addictions. Walk of Faith is led by Kim Maniaci, the Executive Director, and John her husband. It was founded in 2015. "We are currently raising funds to establish a house in the Coweta/Carrol county area. In the meantime, we are hosting a community small group that uses the "Freedom Curriculum" for women struggling with addictions and/or their family members. Our first group of women completed the program late in 2017. In January we started our second group, and have twelve participants." "LEAD provides a tremendous return on our investment, you get back exponentially more than its cost. It's very important that we are learning all the things we need to know to properly run our ministry and keep it in compliance " said Kim. "LEAD has had a definite impact on their operations, particularly fundraising. The classes have been tremendous. Getting the two pager together has really paid off. It's available for anyone to use to explain our ministry. Our board now has copies so they can talk about us to others." Said John. For more information go to walkoffaithhouse.com

Q: Vitali's Theorem on convergence of holomorphic functions Can anybody point me to a statement and proof of Vitali's (convergence) Theorem, which states (I think) that nets of holomorphic functions converge under certain conditions?
I understand that there are different formulations of this theorem. I'm looking for a reference, which treats the theorem comprehensively.

A: The comprehensive treatment can be found in section 2.4 of:
Schiff, Joel L. Normal families. Universitext. Springer-Verlag, New York, 1993. xii+236 pp. ISBN: 0-387-97967-0
Here is what he calls Vitali-Porter theorem: Let $\{f_n\}$ be a locally bounded sequence of analytic functions in a domain $\Omega$ such that the limit $\lim_{n\to \infty}f_n(z)$ exists for all $z$ belonging to a subset $E \subset \Omega$ which has an accumulation point in $\Omega$. Then $f_n$ converges uniformly on compact subsets of $\Omega$ to an analytic function.
In this text it is explicitly shown that this theorem is equivalent to Montel's theorem on bounded families of analytic functions. Other texts (e.g. Goluzin) usually only deduce Vitali's theorem  from Montel's theorem, if they treat it at all. Also, several generalizations are mentioned at the end of the section. All seem to concern sequences rather than general nets, but since in Montel's theorem the family is not required to be countable, perhaps you can somehow get what you want from these results.

Q: Python + Selenium: send_keys sending spaces, instead of numbers, to text box I'm using Python and I'm trying to fill this text box with my birthday using send_keys (Firefox). However, send_keys doesn't work properly; instead of sending the keys "01012012", it sends spaces only.
I've noticed using Safari's WebDriver works, but it doesn't with Firefox's or Chrome's.
This is the element:

<input type="text" name="dob" value="" maxlength="10" class="input\_login input\_date" placeholder="Dia / Mês / Ano" tabindex="3" id="dob" required="" aria-required="true" title="Por favor, forneça uma data válida. Ex: 01/01/2012">

Data de Nascimento
DD/MM/AAAA

This is the command I'm using:
driver.find_element_by_name("dob").send_keys("01012012")

I have also tried clicking the element, then sending HOME key and then sending the date, but it also doesn't work.
Any suggestion, please?

A: This was definitely an interesting one. For some reason, almost half of the time the input just doesn't get correctly entered. I have written a little workaround that you may use that seems to work.
from selenium import webdriver

inputDOB = "01012012"
enteredDOB = "{0}/{1}/{2}".format(inputDOB[:2], inputDOB[2:4], inputDOB[4:])

browser = webdriver.Chrome()
browser.get("https://www.clear.com.br/pit/signin?controller=SignIn")
dob = browser.find_element_by_name("dob")
while (dob.get_attribute('value') != enteredDOB):
    dob.clear()
    dob.send_keys(inputDOB)

Edit: Explanation
inputDOB is your normal input that you will be giving in.
When you compare the value of the dob field, it will return a value like MM/DD/YYYY, including the slashes. So I created an enteredDOB variable which is really the same as inputDOB but with the slashes.
So for an inputDOB = "01012012", enteredDOB = "01/01/2012"


So on a Friday night when the nation has its attention on a rapidly intensifying category 4 major Hurricane making landfall, the coward Nazi serving as our President pardoned his fellow racist birther felon former Sheriff Joe Arpaio and issues an official order banning transgender troops from serving in the military.
"President Trump pardoned Joe Arpaio, the former Arizona sheriff whose aggressive efforts to hunt down and detain undocumented immigrants made him a national symbol of the divisive politics of immigration and earned him a criminal contempt conviction," the New York Times reports.
President Trump has directed the military not to move forward with an Obama-era plan that would have allowed transgender individuals to be recruited into the armed forces, following through on his intentions announced on Twitter a month earlier to ban transgender people from serving.
The presidential memorandum also bans the Department of Defense from using its resources to provide medical treatments for transgender individuals currently serving in the military. Trump also directed the departments of Defense and Homeland Security "to determine how to address transgender individuals currently serving based on military effectiveness and lethality, unitary cohesion, budgetary constraints, applicable law, and all factors that may be relevant," a White House official said.
The official signaled that the administration was returning to the military's pre-2016 policy under which no transgender individuals were allowed to serve openly in the armed forces, but said Trump was giving the secretaries of defense and homeland security leeway to determine the policy on currently serving transgender troops.
Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen "offered a forceful defense of broad new banking regulations enacted after the 2008 financial crisis, saying the rules safeguard the economy against another crisis and rejecting assertions from President Trump and top aides that they should be rolled back," the Washington Post reports.
"President Trump handed Democrats a gift this week with his vow to shut down the government if he doesn't soon get money for his border wall. Democrats may be only too happy to let him follow through on his threat since it will now be easy for them to blame the president for any government interruption, which would probably aggravate many Americans," the New York Times reports.
"President Trump is strategically separating himself from Republicans in Congress, an extraordinary move to deflect blame if the GOP agenda continues to flounder," the Washington Post reports.
Thanks for the link! I've been saying for years that most parents aren't capable of making informed educational decisions.

In addition to the 27 new tracks Andy wrote, Capcom also licensed ten tracks from Combichrist's past including "Sent To Destroy" (from 2009's Today We Are All Demons), "Get Your Body Beat" (from 2007's What The F*ck Is Wrong With You People) and "Throat Full Of Glass" (from 2010's Making Monsters). Out Of Line has released a limited edition 2-CD digipak of No Redemption that is exclusively available in Europe and via combichrist.com that includes the 13 No Redemption tracks and the ten licensed tracks.
No Redemption will be released in the U.S. on February 5, 2013 by Out Of Line for the world outside of Japan (January 25, 2013 for Europe) and by Columbia/Nippon for Japan (February 20, 2013).

This riveting story will hold the reader spellbound as Ravanipur employs magical realism to illuminate the searing realities of life in war-torn Iran. Afsaneh Sarboland can remember little about her reasons for fleeing her home and husband in the middle of the night, and must deal with the unjust assumptions and indictments of Iranian patriarchy. Driven to the point of madness by abuse and the devastating Iran-Iraq War, the embattled woman must also come to terms with her personal demons, who have taken on internal lives and personalities of their own. In a world gone mad, Ravanipur skillfully leads her readers to the startling conclusion that Afsaneh's internal dialogs represent a peculiar form of sanity, appropriate to the realities of her family and country.
It is no secret that hopeless young men and women make excellent candidates for radicalization. British-born Pakistani Maajid Nawaz details how, in 1992, his own journey towards extremism begins with the gang warfare decimating his neighborhood. He was imprisoned for five years in Egypt, which led Amnesty International to adopt the young man and his co-workers as prisoners of conscience. "Radical: My Journey Out of Islamist Extremism" documents this remarkable tale.

Nevada City Police Chief Addresses BLM Protesters Attacked by Trump Supporters
Posted by Vanguard Court Watch Interns
By Cailin Garcia
NEVADA CITY, CA — After a violent counter-protest broke out during a Black Lives Matter rally in Nevada City last weekend, Chief of Police Chad Ellis issued an official statement addressing the situation and condemning the actions of the counter-protesters.
"During yesterday evening's peaceful Black Lives Matter protest participants were met by a group of counter-protesters who appeared to have no purpose other than to bring controversy and conflict to the streets of Nevada City," said Chief Ellis in a press release issued on Aug. 10.
Black Lives Matter supporters had peacefully gathered on the evening of Sunday, August 9, when a hoard of counter-protesters arrived and began to disrupt the protest by banging on pots and jars, shaking tambourines, and shouting profanities.
A collection of social media videos posted by the Sacramento Bee show counter-protesters, many of whom were dressed in Trump apparel, aggressively shoving BLM protesters out of the way as they marched down the crowded street.
Shouts of "Get off of her!" and "Leave them alone!" from BLM participants can be heard throughout the video, but the encounter grew more and more violent as counter-protesters continued to push and snatch signs away from the peaceful protesters.
"Get out of my town!" yelled one of the counter-protesters captured on video.
"The Black Lives Matter protesters consisted of local community members and not people 'bussed in' as rumors suggest," Ellis clarified in the press release.
One of those community members happened to be a member of the Nevada City Council, who reported being one of those assaulted by the counter-protestors.
After reviewing video clips of the conflict submitted to him by the community and speaking with the City Council member, Chief Ellis wanted to make it clear that he did not condone the behavior displayed in the video.
"The aggressive behavior by the counter-protesters towards the Black Lives Matter protesters which [was] comprised of many women and children will absolutely not be tolerated," Ellis said.
Ellis also addressed that many of the violent counter-protesters were carrying black and white American flags with a single blue line in the middle—a well-known symbol of the pro-police Blue Lives Matter movement.
"The counter-protesters waived the thin blue line flag as a show of support for the police, however the actions and behavior did nothing more than put the community in danger," said Ellis, adding that the supposed "connection and unity" between the police and counter-protestors is a "falsehood."
Three Nevada City police officers had been present at the protest when the violence broke out. They instructed people to contact the police and file reports later as they were "inundated with the situation at hand."
Body camera footage from the three officers as well as community-submitted video footage is currently being reviewed by the Nevada City Police Department.
Chief Ellis encourages "anyone who was present at the protest and victimized by an assault, a theft, a vandalism or any other crime to come forward and provide our investigator with a statement so we [Nevada City Police Department] can seek criminal prosecution against those involved."
"We are undoubtedly experiencing difficult and challenging times as a community and as a nation," said Ellis, attempting to close the press release on a hopeful note. "My hope is that we can remain united and work together to combat the injustices we face as a society."
Chief Ellis has launched an official investigation into the incident between the BLM protestors and aggressive counter-protestors. Special investigator Angela Ford has been assigned to the case.

It's hilarious seeing the BLM protesters which included some dressed in Antifa garb carrying 'Abolish the Police' signs crying "where were the police"?
It's nice to see the tables turned for a change.
I guess the reporter didn't want to write about the BLM protesters who attacked a veteran in a wheelchair.

Apparently neither did the Mayor or Police Chief

You are welcome to remove this – it was in regard to what was so obviously going to be pulled.
Much as I don't like seeing anything pulled – blatant two-way personal insults are the one thing that has no place on blogs nor value to anyone.

The spirit of the Mercedes-Benz SL: Accessories from the Mercedes-Benz Classic Shop
Julia Löwenstein
Manager Classic Communications
julia.loewenstein@mercedes-benz.com
Tel:+49 151 58610215
Various model series of the Mercedes-Benz SL as models and toys
Historical documents from workshop manuals to sales brochures
Writing implements, wine bottle stoppers, umbrellas and much more
Stuttgart. The fascination surrounding the unique tradition of the Mercedes-Benz SL begins with the original vehicles – but extends deep into everyday life – which is ensured by many accessories relating to the history of the SL sports cars on offer through the shop at the Mercedes-Benz Museum. The range includes toy and model cars covering a considerable price range: from the 300 SL Coupé (W 198) with a pull-back drive in red or silver for 7.90 euros each to the elaborately hand-built and patinated model of the same vehicle on a scale of 1:8 for 19,990 euros. The shop also offers specialist books and lifestyle products. In addition to the shop in the museum, there also is an impressive range of items on offer online at https://www.mercedes-benz-classic-store.com/en/collection/sl-familie/.
The Mercedes-Benz SL has been setting the standard for glamorous sportiness since the 1950s and the miniatures of these sports cars in the shop are scaled down but just as breathtaking. They are available in a range of scales. For example, there are the models of the 300 SL Coupé (W 198) and the 230 SL "Pagoda" (W 113) in the sumptuous 1:24 scale (29.90 euros each – all prices include VAT and exclude shipping costs). They are made of die-cast zinc with plastic parts and have some movable elements, from the gullwing doors to the bonnet. There are also numerous vehicles from the entire history of the SL up to the R 231 series in smaller formats (particularly 1:38 and 1:43). The trailer set consisting of a G-Class, trailer and 300 SL "Gullwing", which has been compiled in this form exclusively for Mercedes-Benz Classic, also appears in a 1:38 scale (24.90 euros). In addition to these model cars executed in fine detail, the shop's range includes toy cars with additional functions such as a pull-back drive (various models, 7.90 euros each). Whether destined for the showcase or for a child's bedroom – SL fans both large and small will find the perfect model sports car here.
Authentic documents
The workshop manuals for the respective model series provide deep insight into the era of each Mercedes-Benz SL from the perspective of experienced mechanics. These printed manuals were originally created as technical literature for the customer service personnel of Mercedes-Benz brand workshops: they describe maintenance and repair work broken down into individual work steps with the aid of drawings, photos and tables. Today, as authentic reprints, these manuals are an important reference for all lovers of Stuttgart sports cars when it comes to caring for their classics. For example, the shop offers workshop manuals for the iconic 300 SL (W 198) in both German and English (149.90 euros each). The technical literature also includes faithful reproductions of operating manuals for various SL sports cars from the 190 SL (W 121) of the 1950s to the 107 model series for SL Roadsters and SLC Coupés (34.90 euros each). Maintenance booklets and sales brochures complete this range of literature. The technical literature is available exclusively online.
Of course, specialist books on the history of the SL are also available in the shop, e.g. the luxurious limited edition volume "Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Rennsportwagen (W 194)" by the renowned automotive historian Günter Engelen (99 euros).
Savour the Mercedes-Benz SL
How about a good glass of wine to savour the memories of the unique Mercedes-Benz SL spirit? Or a surprising acoustic reminder while writing a note? Accessories such as the wine bottle stopper in the shape of the shift lever knob from the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupé (14.90 euros) and the silver-coloured "sound" ballpoint pen, which plays the original engine sound of this sports car at the touch of a button (12.90 euros), or the chrome ballpoint pen with a three-dimensional "Gullwing" on the clip (29.90 euros) provide those very moments. Sometimes, however, the connection to the SL tradition only becomes evident on second glance. Like the exclusive driver cap manufactured in fine leather (99 euros) for open-top driving or the leather travel bag (399 euros), for instance: they are lined with a chequered fabric that revives the look of the original seat upholstery of the 300 SL.
Umbrella and key fob, magnets and postcards, more writing tools and USB memory sticks: the range of Mercedes-Benz Classic Shop's SL-related products is almost as diverse as the variety of original vehicles and their history. Since 1952 and starting with the 300 SL racing sports car (W 194), Mercedes-Benz has continued to write this fascinating history of the SL sports cars. This year, the Mercedes-AMG SL of the R 232 model series celebrates its world premiere.

"The Indy location is the worst for flexibility. Good base pay but that's about it. Need better benefits too."
One thing Monster can improve?
"If you happen to take maternity leave here hopefully all goes well on your return to work because if you run into complications they will not provide any flexibility."
Would you recommend Monster to other women?
"The flexibile hours and work from home concept is great for raising kids at home. "
"No maternity leave, not family focused. Only people without kids get promoted."
"Was at the company through some highs and lows in my particular department, but was lucky enough to encounter and work for some of the best managers I have experienced in my career. "
"Amount of PAID weeks depended on if you had a c-section or natural birth. You got to take a total of 12 weeks, some weeks paid with short term disability, one week of actual maternity, and the rest you had to fill in with PTO or go unpaid. You could also borrow up to 40 hours of PTO and acrue the hours back once you were back to work, however, if you leave the company before you acrue all the borrowed hours back, the difference gets taken out of your final paycheck."
"Monster offers 5 days of paid maternity leave to bridge you before EDD starts. Otherwise, you are limited to state and federal leave policy."
"I have worked here for a very long time and have worked my way up the ladder and through different departments. There is a lot of room for growth if you seek our the opportunities. While there are frustrations particularly in the lack of raises and bonuses in the last few years, I have stayed for the flexibility. While there is no official work from home policy across the company (though there should be), most people in Product and Technology work 1 day a week from home and ad hoc is accepted for things like sick kids, repairmen at the house, etc. Unfortunately it is at the discretion of a manager so someone could be a jerk about it and not allow it and I believe this is not the case in other departments in the company. The drawbacks is that the maternity policy could be far better, particularly as other tech companies greatly expand their offerings. Also, most leadership positions are held by men. With a few exceptions, all VP level positions and higher are held by men with a slightly larger number of director positions for women."
