Business Groups Warn of Peril as Trump's Trade War Spirals
The latest whipsawing escalations in the United States' trade war with China prompted a wide array of business organizations to warn over the weekend that American consumers and workers would soon be caught in the crossfire.
It is now looking increasingly likely that few large American companies will be able to sidestep the toll exacted by the new tit-for-tat tariffs that China and President Trump rolled out on Friday.
Many business leaders have kept a low profile as the trade war intensified, for fear of attracting President Trump's ire, and in the hope that the threats of tariffs could be negotiating tactics that will lead to some sort of trade agreement.
But with several tariffs already in place, and President Trump staking out an even more aggressive stance on Friday, many industries are reckoning with just how serious the situation has become.
Joshua Bolten, the president and chief executive of the Business Roundtable, an organization representing the leaders of the largest American companies, said on Sunday that many C.E.O.s were already "poised right on top of the brake."
"The risk is that everybody's going to slam on the brake, and that would be a disaster," Mr. Bolten said on "Face the Nation" on CBS.
President Trump's latest moves, Mr. Bolten said, could "disrupt trade and commerce in a way that would cause huge damage — not just to the Chinese economy, but to the global economy and the U.S. economy."

The American economy has so far been relatively resilient as the two sides battle. But several recent signs suggest that the tit-for-tat is beginning to broadly hit American businesses.
The American manufacturing sector, for instance, shrank in August for the first time since 2009, according to data released last week from the research group IHS Markit.
"America's manufacturing workers will bear the brunt of these retaliatory tariffs, which will make it even harder to sell the products they make to customers in China," the president and chief executive of the National Association of Manufacturers, Jay Timmons, wrote on Twitter on Friday.
While corporate earnings have held strong, several companies said last week that they were trimming their profit expectations as a result of the trade war.
On Friday, after China announced new tariffs and Mr. Trump ordered American companies out of China, the Standard & Poor's 500 index slid 2.6 percent and the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite fell 3 percent. After the markets closed, the president announced more tariff increases.
China said on Friday morning that it would impose new tariffs on $75 billion of American imports. A few hours later, President Trump announced on Twitter that he would be raising tariffs further on $550 billion of goods coming from China.
The biggest shock was from Mr. Trump's statement that he was ordering American companies to "immediately start looking for an alternative to China."
The president said he had the power to do so as a result of a 1977 law that has traditionally been used to deal with security and military threats.

Over the weekend, some of Mr. Trump's advisers tried to somewhat soften the blow of the president's words.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, speaking on "Fox News Sunday," said that Mr. Trump had the authority to make such a demand if he declared a national emergency but that he had not yet done so.
"I think what he was saying is he's ordering companies to start looking because he wants to make sure — to the extent we are in an extended trade war — that companies don't have these issues and move out of China," Mr. Mnuchin said. "And we want them to be in places where they are trading partners that respect us and trade with us fairly."
There is still significant uncertainty on how many of the steps that China and Mr. Trump have announced will come into effect. The president has stepped back or delayed previous tariffs. And on Sunday the president said he was having "second thoughts" about the threats he made last week. But shortly thereafter, the White House press secretary, Stephanie Grisham, said that the president's regret was that he had not raised tariffs even further.
American businesses have already begun taking steps to respond. The toymaker Hasbro said last month that it was planning to shift a significant portion of its manufacturing from China to other Asian countries by 2020.
The American toy industry is particularly reliant on Chinese factories, which account for 88 percent of its production, according to the National Retail Federation. But the figures are also large for other major portions of the retail industry.
David French, the senior vice president for government relations at the retail federation, said this weekend that companies were facing a difficult road because it could take years to make the kind of moves that the president has demanded.
"It's impossible for businesses to plan for the future in this type of environment," Mr. French said in a statement. "The administration's approach clearly isn't working, and the answer isn't more taxes on American businesses and consumers. Where does this end?"

President Trump has said that he expects China to pay the costs of the tariffs he has imposed. But the direct costs of the tariffs are generally paid by the companies importing goods from China, who can then pass them along to consumers.
The Consumer Technology Association, which represents the largest electronics companies, has said that the tariffs are already costing the American tech sector $1.3 billion a month, and could raise the price of cellphones by $70 and the price of
The Consumer Technology Association, which represents the largest electronics companies, has said that the tariffs are already costing the American tech sector $1.3 billion a month, and could raise the price of cellphones by $70 and the price of laptops by $120, on average.
JPMorgan Chase analysts recently predicted that the overall costs to American families of the tariffs were likely to be between $1,000 and $1,500 a year.
"Tariffs are taxes on Americans, putting us on the wrong economic path and compromising our global leadership," the president and chief executive of the technology association, Gary Shapiro, said on Friday. "How much longer will our families, companies and economy be forced to bear the financial burden of this misguided trade policy?"
China appears to be aiming its tariffs at parts of America where support for President Trump is particularly strong, like farm country in the Midwest. China's actions on Friday, for instance, add 5 percentage points to the 25 percent tariff already paid on American soybeans.
The president of the American Farm Bureau, Zippy Duvall, said after the latest announcements that "continued retaliation only adds to the difficulties farm and ranch families are facing and takes the situation in the exact wrong direction."
China also added new tariffs to cars made in America. Tesla, as well as the Germany carmakers Daimler and BMW, are the most vulnerable to the additional levies. Six of the top 10 vehicle models exported from the United States to China, the world's biggest car market, are from the two German brands, according to the forecaster LMC Automotive.
In private, auto executives say that, for now, the uncertainty is a greater concern than the potential material impact of the tariffs. One auto executive who spoke on the condition of anonymity said the industry was more worried that it cannot predict what might happen next or how bad it might get.

"I'm not a climate change guy, but…": Farmers reckon with new reality in the heartland
Walking over soggy lifeless crops, Brett Adams, a fifth generation Nebraska farmer, paused to catch his breath. Under the dark grey clouds of the Midwestern spring, he was forced to come to terms with an alarming reality: 80% of his farmland was under freezing floodwater.
In March 2019, record-breaking floods inundated America's breadbasket, a region that's also a key exporter of corn and soybeans to the world. Much of the Midwest was overwhelmed with floods as a result of torrential rains, frozen ground unable to absorb more water, heavy snowmelt, and a series of extreme weather events that culminated in a major winter storm—described by meteorologists as a "bomb cyclone."
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the federal agency responsible for the management of the country's levee systems, say they've seen record runoff in the past 15 years. This historic flood has made it clear that unpredictable weather patterns are getting more extreme. After massive flooding in 2011, the Corps had to repair five breaches. So far in 2019, they are dealing with 50.
"Our current goal is to close all the breaches by March of 2020," said Matthew Krajewski, the Readiness Branch Chief of the Army Corps of Engineers. However, if the Corps were to update the levee to newer engineering standards — to help it withstand the rising flood levels predicted in the coming years — they would need funding approval from the U.S. Congress.
A recent report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) found that the U.S has seen the wettest 12 months on record, with an average of 38 inches of rain falling from July 2018 to June 2019.
Adams put it in personal terms. "When I was a kid," he said, "an inch of rain, or an inch and a half of rain, was a big deal. Now it's like we get four- or five-inch rains all the time, or six-inch rains, even. That was unheard of."
"I'm not a climate change guy, as far as climate change, global warming, or any of that stuff," Adams said. "But have I seen the weather change in, say, my 20-year farming career? Absolutely."
In response to these troubling changes, some farmers in Nebraska are considering new solutions to keep their businesses afloat. One of those farmers, Graham Christensen, travels the country discussing a green farming initiative called regenerative farming.

Trump Lies About His Poll Numbers After Iowa Speech: A Closer Look

Tariffs, Mr. Trump's Miracle Cure
The president appears to view tariffs as the solution to a wide range of foreign policy problems. It isn't working.
So we're going to tax Americans until Mexico stops allowing people from Central America to exercise their legal right to seek admission to the United States?
Seems pretty foolproof.
President Trump announced Thursday evening on Twitter, his preferred medium for policymaking, that he plans to impose a new tariff on all imports from Mexico, "until the illegal immigration problem is remedied."
The tariff would begin at 5 percent on June 10 and gradually rise to 25 percent by October.
Mr. Trump persists in the falsehood that tariffs are paid by America's trading partners. The truth is that Mexico would no more pay this tariff than it is paying for the construction of a border wall. The evidence is clear: Mr. Trump's tariffs are taxes being paid by Americans.
This new tax would sit atop Mr. Trump's tariffs on aluminum and steel imports, and Mr. Trump's tariffs on Chinese imports, and the bill is adding up. The United States so far has collected about $19 billion in Trump tariffs. A full 25 percent tariff on Mexican goods could add as much as $87 billion a year to that total.
Mexico would most likely respond by imposing retaliatory tariffs, which is especially bad news for the probable targets: American farmers. About two weeks ago Mr. Trump ended a tariff on Mexican aluminum and steel, and Mexico ended a tariff on American farm goods. So much for that false dawn. Farmers may need to resume the search for new markets.
Taxation is always painful, and always the question is whether the benefits outweigh the pain. In this case, Mr. Trump is using a tariff as a cudgel to induce Mexico's cooperation in keeping immigrants from America's southern border. While the cost of the tariff would be paid by Americans, the Mexican economy most likely also would suffer a loss of sales to the United States.
Mr. Trump might succeed in pressuring Mexico to take stronger steps on immigration. Tariffs, however, are a very crude tool. Most of the immigrants seeking to cross the southern border are fleeing problems in Central America that are beyond the control of the Mexican government. Moreover, while Mr. Trump tends to refer to all of the immigrants as illegal, many are exercising a legal right to seek asylum.
Past administrations have sought cooperation from Mexico on immigration issues without disrupting economic relations between the two countries. Mr. Trump's decision to mix the two issues threatens to disrupt both economies because the manufacturing sectors in Mexico and the United States are tightly intertwined. About two-thirds of trade between the countries is between factories owned by the same company, according to Deutsche Bank.
The auto industry is the largest and most important example. Many vehicles are produced by a combination of Mexican, Canadian and American factories. The Ford F-150 pickup truck — the best-selling vehicle in the United States — is assembled at factories in Kansas City, Mo., and Dearborn, Mich., but15 percent of the parts come from Mexico.
The industry has long argued that its reliance on Mexican factories for labor-intensive production of some parts allows companies to keep assembly plants in the United States. Tariffs threaten to disrupt that symbiosis, which could push production overseas.
Similarly, vehicles assembled in Mexico are full of American parts. By one recent estimate, American parts make up 38 percent of the value of the average vehicle imported to the United States from Mexico. Mr. Trump's tariff is a threat to that line of business, too.
Mr. Trump's tariff also could derail his efforts to secure approval of a renegotiated North American Free Trade Agreement — the deal that sets the terms of trade among the United States, Mexico and Canada. The main point of the deal, from Mexico's perspective, is to guarantee reliable access to the American market. In exchange, Mexico has agreed to make concessions, including improvements in labor laws. But Mr. Trump is giving Mexico reason to doubt whether he would keep his side of the bargain.
Other American trading partners with whom Mr. Trump is trying to negotiate new trade deals, including Japan and the European Union, presumably are having the same thought.
Last but not least, messing with Mexico weakens the Trump administration's hand in its dealings with China. Mr. Trump's tariffs on Chinese goods have persuaded some American companies to relocate production to Mexico from China. Those companies now face a more difficult choice. Mr. Trump and his advisers also may find it more difficult to rally international support for their efforts to persuade China to make changes in its economic policies.
Mr. Trump's apparent determination to fight with all of America's trading partners at once makes it harder to make progress on any particular front.
Once again, Mr. Trump is lashing out rather than acting strategically — and Americans will feel the pain.

Trump's Fake Fix for a Bad Economic Policy
What is driving the president's apparent eagerness to impose tariffs is a simple and wrongheaded idea that plays to a large part of his base: A trade war will spur job growth in America. He is trying to use tariffs to give a leg up to American industries against countries that manufacture the same products that we do — whether steel, aluminum or cars — but more efficiently. And who could be against that if it creates more jobs?
.. In reality, however, creating jobs alone does not make for a strong economy. What we really want is to increase production. And to achieve that, we need to allocate labor as efficiently as possible.
.. One way to do that is to ensure that if other countries can make certain goods more efficiently than we can, we trade with them for these items, rather than manufacture them ourselves. The result is cheaper goods, which is to our advantage.
But tariffs do nothing to improve this efficient allocation of labor. They also do not increase or decrease employment. They just shift jobs around, and almost always in a manner that hurts the economy.
.. That is a $12 billion bailout using taxpayer funds for a problem the president himself created.

Trade Fight Threatens Farm Belt Businesses
Many farmers, who depend on shipments overseas for one-fifth of the goods they produce, say they are anxious
Researchers at the University of Illinois and Ohio State University estimate that over four years, a 25% tariff on U.S. soybean imports by Beijing would result in an average 87% decline in income for a midsize Illinois grain farm. The loss would pressure farmland prices, they say, prompting a more than $500,000 decline in the farm's net worth by 2021.
.. Still, many farmers say they support the Trump administration's trade goals of modernizing Nafta, shrinking the U.S. trade deficit and combating what they see as unfair trade practices by China. They view the president's approach as a negotiating tactic and hope it will bear fruit by fall, when farmers will harvest their crops. Some are prepared to sacrifice financially if the U.S. economy benefits in the long run.
.. administration officials have tried to reassure farmers, saying they are considering the use of Depression-era programs, which permit borrowing of as much as $30 billion from the Treasury, as well as other tools to shield farmers from trade-related losses.
.. if farm incomes are significantly squeezed, tensions could emerge between party loyalty and farmers' wallets. "In a close enough election even a small group can matter," Mr. Franklin said.
.. Some farmers fear trade battles will jeopardize foreign markets for U.S. agricultural products that took decades to establish.
.. Dairy farmers have been banking on sales abroad to help absorb increasing milk supplies that have pushed down prices. Tariffs imposed on U.S. cheese exports by Mexico, the largest buyer of U.S. dairy products, add insult to injury

Mark Ingram Jr. Phone Number, Contact Details, Autograph Request, Mailing, And Fan Mail Address
by Mark KPosted on July 19, 2022
Mark Ingram Jr.'s phone number, contact information, fan mail address, and other contact information and details are all provided on this page.
Running back from the United States who was selected in the first round by the New Orleans Saints in 2011. During his time at the high school, he was a standout on the football, basketball, and track and field teams. After that, he continued his football career at the University of Alabama. The University of Alabama named him the winner of the Heisman Trophy in 2009, and he was instrumental in the Crimson Tide's run to a perfect season and the BCS National Championship in 2010.
His father, Mark Ingram Sr., played in the National Football League and won Super Bowl XXV while playing for the New York Giants. After his playing career, he was sentenced to time in jail. In 2017, he tied the knot with the fitness celebrity Chelsea Dizzee. They are the parents of two children as a couple. In 2011, he joined the Saints, where he was assigned to play with Drew Brees.
The general manager of the New Orleans Saints, Mickey Loomis, said that the team has "to be prepared for everything" as a result of the arrest of running back Alvin Kamara. However, it is probable that New Orleans will begin the season with Mark Ingram having to shoulder the most of the responsibilities in the ground game. Ingram will be playing in his 12th NFL season.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department placed Kamara under arrest on February 6, not long after he had finished playing in the Pro Bowl. After an altercation on February 5 at a nightclub in Las Vegas, Kamara, Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Chris Lammons, and two other men are being charged with violence inflicting significant bodily injury and conspiracy to commit assault. The allegations stem from the incident.
Kamara has the potential to "be put on paid leave" in the event that he is "formally charged with a violent crime or sexual assault, or if the NFL investigation finds sufficient credible evidence that it appears a violation of the policy has occurred."
If Kamara is found guilty of a criminal offense or if the NFL investigation finds that he participated in an activity that is banned by the Personal Conduct Policy, then he will be subject to punishment once the criminal proceedings and the investigation conducted by the NFL have been completed. To run afoul of the inquiry being conducted by the NFL, it is not necessary that he be proven guilty by the judicial system.
Let's have a look at Mark Ingram Jr.'s profile, which includes his contact, phone number, email, Autograph request address, and email Id, as well as his mailing address, fan mail address, and residence number.
Mark Ingram Jr. Fanmail Address :
Mark Ingram Jr.
Hackensack,
If you are one of his many admirers and who want to write a letter to Mark Ingram Jr., we recommend that you utilize his fan mail address provided here. According to the AR, the fan mail address is Mark Ingram Jr. Hackensack, New Jersey, United States
The National Football League has the ability to impose punishment in the form of a fine, a suspension, community service, or any combination of these three. On the other hand, infractions that include assault, battery, domestic violence, or sexual assault will result in a default suspension of six games without pay. The new date for Kamara's hearing has been set for 12 days before the first game of New Orleans' three-game preseason schedule, which will be played against the Houston Texans. This comes seven days after the Saints' veterans are expected to arrive at training camp.
Each of Kamara's five seasons in the NFL has culminated with him being selected for the Pro Bowl. Both Kamara and Ingram were selected to play for the New Orleans backfield in the Pro Bowl that year (2017). Since then, Ingram has had a season with the Baltimore Ravens in which he was selected to the Pro Bowl once again in 2019, a season in which he rushed for a career-low 299 yards, and a season in which he played for both the Houston Texans and the New Orleans Saints in 2021. During the 2021 season, Ingram had 160 carries for a total of 554 yards and scored two touchdowns. He also caught 27 receptions for 162 yards.
Running back Mark Ingram, who is now in his second stint with New Orleans, is of the opinion that it was crucial for the club to keep the coaching change inside the organization. According to NewOrleansSaints.com, Ingram was quoted as saying, "I believe it was crucial, keeping the DNA the same." "It's not like we're starting completely over here. I believe that you have a squad that has the potential to create a lot of noise and give it a run for its money.
Keeping the team's DNA and culture the same is very important, and I believe that doing so will be to everyone's advantage. It goes without saying that we need to grow better as individuals and as a group, but I believe that this is a step in the right direction. Allen served as the team's defensive coordinator for the last seven seasons, and his contributions were important in the transformation of the defense into a top-tier squad beginning with the 2017 season.
Ingram, on the other hand, spent the first eight years of his professional career with the Saints before departing the team in 2019 as a free agent. He didn't start playing again until the middle of the previous season, when he participated in seven games for New Orleans after being moved there from Houston in October. After the move, he and the organization allegedly came to an agreement on a contract extension of one year, which would keep him in New Orleans until 2022. Because Ingram spent so much time playing under Payton, he is aware of the qualities that contributed to Payton's success as a coach.
The running back is aware that Allen will alter certain aspects of the team's play, but will not alter the fundamentals that have contributed to the Saints' success for such a long period of time. "It is quite clear that D.A. is not the same as Sean. But D.A. has done an excellent job of simply trying to maintain things as regular as possible while still adding some of his own unique flavors to it, he added. "I believe the defensive unit is more prepared for it as a result of the amount of time they spent with him in defensive sessions. We only saw him on occasion when he was required to step in for someone else. But I like him a lot.
His eponymous wedding dress atelier in New York City, which first opened its doors in 2002, has earned Mark Ingram a significant amount of notoriety in the bridal market. For brides who are still looking for the perfect gown, this store is essential need to go to. Now that he has released his new jewelry line, LGD by Mark Ingram, which features lab-grown diamonds, brides and their wedding parties have the choice to pick from environmentally aware accessories for the wedding day and beyond.
My future wife is a lady who exemplifies both tradition and modernity. According to Ingram, who was quoted in a press release, she is elegant and has a good sense of style. My impression is that with this assortment, she would be able to expand her own sense of flair to the gifts that she offers. This is the first in-house jewelry line for the business, and the launch collection has a variety of necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, all of which are offered in rose gold, gold, and white gold as color options. In addition, the whole collection is made up of items that use lab-grown diamonds, which help generate and maintain a minimal effect on the environment.

Some Important Facts About Mark Ingram Jr.:
He was born on 21 December 1989.
His birth sign is Sagittarius.
These classic items are great for giving as presents to the members of the wedding party, and their costs range from $150 for a cuff bracelet set with white sapphire baguettes to $1,200 for traditional hoops. We have every reason to believe that those who are closest to you will cherish and value these items for a very long time (which is so much better, and more sustainable, than purchasing cheap, tchotchke gifts they will likely just throw away).
Alternately, a bride who is wearing an off-the-shoulder gown and has her hair pulled back into a low chignon would look great in a pair of earrings like the tiered lariat earrings, which cost $350. Or, if you are searching for something blue to wear on a special day, the lariat blue sapphire necklace (which costs $220) is sure to steal the show. Both online at lgd-bymarkingram.com and in-person at The Mark Ingram Atelier, located at 110 E 55th St #8, New York, New York 10022, the full collection is now available for purchase.
On paper, it seems as if the New Orleans Saints will be a far better club in 2022. All-Pro wide receiver Michael Thomas, quarterback Jameis Winston, offensive guard Andrus Peat, offensive tackle Ryan Ramczyk, and kicker Wil Lutz have all returned after injuries that sidelined them for most or all of the previous season. A number of free agents, including Tyrann Mathieu, Marcus Maye, Jarvis Landry, and Kentavius Street, were signed by the team in order to improve several areas of weakness. Receivers Chris Olave and Trevor Penning, both of whom were selected in the first round, are anticipated to make an instant contribution.
As training camp approaches, there are not many obvious holes on the Saints' roster that need to be filled. The position of running back is one of the areas of worry for the team. Alvin Kamara is one of the most versatile and dynamic players in the NFL. He also serves as the primary offensive weapon for the New Orleans offense. However, Kamara was taken into custody for an incident that occurred in Las Vegas back in February.
As a result of the event, which was a violation of the NFL's personal conduct rules, Kamara will almost probably be given a suspension by the league. His hearing has been postponed until the beginning of August, which decreases the likelihood that he would be suspended to begin the new year. Nevertheless, the fact that such an event statistically likely brings attention to the level of depth behind him.
Tony Jones, who was not selected in the draft in 2020, had a preseason game in 2019 that was good enough to force the organization to let established veterans Latavius Murray and Devonta Freeman go. As soon as the regular season started, Jones was unable to perform well due to a number of ailments. The Saints made a deal in the middle of the season in order to bring back a franchise legend to play in the backfield.
When Ingram decided to leave the Saints and go with another team as a free agent following the 2018 season, Saints supporters were devastated. Ingram won the Heisman Trophy when he was attending Alabama and was selected first overall by New Orleans in the 2011 NFL Draft. During his eight years with the Saints, Ingram had three seasons with over 1,000 yards and was selected to two Pro Bowls. He fell just short of breaking the all-time record for running yards in the franchise's history.
Ingram joined the Houston Texans for the 2017 season after spending the previous two years with the Baltimore Ravens. Late in the month of October, the Saints made a deal with Houston to get their wayward kid in exchange for a seventh-round selection in 2024. It would be a reunion for Ingram and his longtime buddy and protégé Kamara, who together accounted for a total of 5,501 yards of offense and 51 touchdowns in 2017 and 2018.
During the previous season, Kamara had a knee injury that forced him out of action for a total of four games. This ailment was caused by the same virus that spread across the whole club. During the first two games that Kamara missed, Ingram racked up 135 yards on the ground and added another 86 yards receiving. The New Orleans Saints were forced to play their next two games without their top two running backs since both of them had suffered knee injuries.
Due to the injury, Ingram was unable to participate in four of the most recent seven games. When he did play, he was clearly restricted, as seen by the fact that he accumulated a grand total of 61 yards in the last three games of the season. During his time with the Saints, Ingram played seven games and had a total of 260 rushing yards and 138 receiving yards. He also became the all-time leader in running yards for the team, passing Deuce McAllister in the process.
Ingram has played for New Orleans for nine seasons and has rushed for 6,267 yards and scored 51 touchdowns. He has also caught 248 passes for 1,736 yards and scored five more touchdowns. He is now the all-time leader in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns for the club, and he is just 41 rushing attempts away from overtaking McAllister as the all-time leader in that category for the team's history. Ingram is one of just three players in the whole history of the franchise to achieve back-to-back seasons with 1,000 yards running.

Q: Help with boolean algebra simplification. I had the following boolean expression:
$$(C\lor D)\land({\sim} B\lor D)\land({\sim} A\lor {\sim} C\lor {\sim} D)$$
I know this can be simplified to:
$$(C\land{\sim}B\land{\sim} D)\lor(D\land{\sim} A)\lor(D\land{\sim} C)$$
I have gotten this far:
$$({\sim} D\land C\land{\sim} B)\lor(C\land{\sim} B\land{\sim} A)\lor(D\land{\sim} A)\lor(D\land{\sim} C)$$
I have tried and tried, but still can't figure out how to get rid of the extra $$(C\land{\sim} B\land {\sim} A)$$
Please help. Thank you!
Edit: Bram28 pointed out that I mistyped, but I still cant find a way to get rid of the extra $(C\land{\sim} B\land {\sim} A)$

A: You can get rid of the extra
$$(C\land{\sim} B\land{\sim} A)$$
term by expanding it to
$$(C\land{\sim} B\land{\sim} A \land D)\lor (C\land{\sim} B\land{\sim} A \land \sim D)$$
Then, the first of these gets absorbed by $(D \land \sim A)$, while the second gets absorbed by $(C\land{\sim} B \land \sim D)$

Sylvia Pankhurst: Natural Born Rebel
Watch again now.
This event took place on: 27 October, 19.30.
Sylvia Pankhurst was born into one of Britain's most famous families but she always carved her own way. As well as a militant campaigner for women's suffrage, she was a gifted artist and orator, a designer, newspaper editor and radical visionary.
Her activism landed her in Holloway prison where she was tortured, and her notes from this episode are featured in our upcoming Unfinished Business exhibition. Pankhurst's life of campaigning led her to America, Soviet Russia, Scandinavia, Europe and East Africa.
Biographer Rachel Holmes shares her adventures from inside the British Library's Unfinished Business exhibition space, in conversation with Shami Chakrabarti.
This event celebrates Unfinished Business: The Fight for Women's Rights, a UK-wide exhibition by the British Library and public libraries.

Ships at a Distance: Zora Neale Hurston
'There are years that ask questions and years that answer.' – Zora Neale Hurston
Over a career that spanned more than 30 years, Zora Neale Hurston published four novels, two books of folklore, an autobiography, numerous short stories, and several essays, articles and plays. Today, her work unites readers across the world, yet she died penniless, buried in an unmarked grave.
Black Girl's Book Club co-founders Natalie Carter and Melissa Cummings-Quarry – who cite Neale Hurston as the 'the patron saint of Black women' – chair a conversation with poets Jackie Kay and Salena Godden about Hurston's writing life, and how she has become regarded one of the most significant Black woman writers of the 20th century.
Presented in association with the Royal Society of Literature. This event celebrates Unfinished Business: The Fight for Women's Rights, a UK-wide exhibition by the British Library and public libraries.
Voice in Cookery Writing: Nigella Lawson, Ella Risbridger and Bee Wilson
How do you tell the story of a recipe? A recipe is so much more than a set of instructions; it is a story, an experience waiting to happen. We explore the role of voice, narrative and storytelling in cookery books with three fantastic food writers; Nigella Lawson, Ella Risbridger and Bee Wilson. This event was livestreamed from the British Library on 8 April 2019 to public libraries across the UK.
Resisting Self-Censorship, with Elif Shafak, Rachel Long, Jacqueline Woodson and Urvashi Butalia
Join us here live: 30 September. 19.00 – 20.15.
In the wake of George Floyd's murder and the resultant global Black Lives Matter protests, it has been clearer than ever before that the voices of some are prioritised to the exclusion of others.
As part of Banned Books Week 2020 – an annual celebration of the freedom to read – the RSL, in partnership with British Library, Index on Censorship and English PEN, brings together a panel of writers who have committed to sharing their stories, to creating without compromise, and to inspiring others to do the same. Rachel Long, Elif Shafak, and Jacqueline Woodson explore what 'freedom' means in the culture of traditional publishing, and how writers today can change the future of literature. Chaired by Urvashi Butalia.
This event is available to the audiences and users of public libraries through the Living Knowledge Network.
PEN Pinter Prize: Linton Kwesi Johnson
This event took place on: 12 October. 19.30 - 20.30. Linton Kwesi Johnson is presented with the 2020 PEN Pinter Prize.
The PEN Pinter Prize was established in 2009 by the charity English PEN, which defends freedom of expression and celebrates literature. In memory of Nobel-Laureate playwright Harold Pinter, the prize is awarded annually to a writer of outstanding literary merit resident in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland or the Commonwealth who, in the words of Harold Pinter's Nobel Prize in Literature speech, casts an 'unflinching, unswerving' gaze upon the world and shows a 'fierce intellectual determination... to define the real truth of our lives and our societies'.
Linton Kwesi Johnson was chosen by this year's judges; The Guardian's Associate Editor for Culture Claire Armitstead; Dialogue Books Publisher Sharmaine Lovegrove, and author Max Porter. The judges said of Johnson: 'Linton Kwesi Johnson is a poet, reggae icon, academic and campaigner, whose impact on the cultural landscape over the last half century has been colossal and multi-generational. His political ferocity and his tireless scrutiny of history are truly Pinteresque, as is the humour with which he pursues them.'
The prize will be shared with an International Writer of Courage: a writer who is active in defence of freedom of expression, often at great risk to their own safety and liberty, selected by Linton Kwesi Johnson from a shortlist of international cases supported by English PEN. The co-winner will be announced at the event, where they will accept their prize alongside Linton Kwesi Johnson.

Chagrin Falls Schools planning return to full-day learning starting Nov. 17
Updated Oct 22, 2020; Posted Oct 22, 2020
District Treasurer Ashley Brudno, far left, provides a financial update to the Chagrin Falls Board of Education at its meeting Wednesday (Oct. 21). (Screenshot)
By Ed Wittenberg, special to cleveland.com
CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio -- Students in kindergarten through grade six in the Chagrin Falls Schools will likely return to a full-day, five-days-a-week model of learning at the start of the second trimester Nov. 17.
Superintendent Robert Hunt made that recommendation when the Chagrin Falls Board of Education met Wednesday (Oct. 21).
Hunt also recommended that students in grades 7-12 begin a modified schedule Nov. 9 "to alleviate schedule concerns" and to prepare for an anticipated return to full-day instruction at the start of the second semester Jan. 4.
"I think it is time, based on the data and what we know, for us to work toward and lean in to trying to bring our students back to school," Hunt said.
"It makes a lot of sense to try to leverage one of those natural breaks in the school year when you bring students back. When we do this, there will be some teacher changes, so doing it at a natural break makes sense."
The school board met in person in the lobby of the Performing Arts Center at Chagrin Falls High School, with all board members and administrators wearing face masks and seated at least 6 feet apart. Board member Mary Kay O'Toole joined the meeting virtually via Zoom video conferencing.
The Chagrin Falls Schools opened the academic year Aug. 31 in a hybrid model, with students in grades 1-12 attending school in person for half the day and learning remotely for the other half. Students also have the option of learning via a fully remote model.
Hunt said the district has been doing "a very good job" in following the protocols to mitigate the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and keeping the number of COVID-19 cases low. Those factors led to his recommendation for a full-day return.
According to the district's COVID-19 dashboard, last updated Monday (Oct. 19), the district had no confirmed active student or staff cases of COVID-19, and only three cumulative student cases and one staff case since Aug. 1.
"We have seen very low incidence in terms of cases of COVID-19 in our school district, and everyone can be commended on that," he said. "We appreciate the effort of our staff and our students."
Another factor, Hunt said, is that schools and classroom exposures continue to account for a small portion of COVID-19 cases in Northeast Ohio.
"Every week, I'm on a call with the Lake County and Geauga County board of health directors, getting updates on what they're seeing, and I'm on another call with the Cuyahoga County Board of Health director, as well, getting input," he said.
"The message that came from both counties was this idea that yes, there's a current increase in trend, but incidences that are occurring are mainly through community spread. So it's things that are happening outside of schools, at gatherings."
Hunt said the most significant change on the district's dashboard relates to the Ohio Public Health Advisory System. He noted that Cuyahoga County was elevated from Level 2 (orange) to Level 3 (red) last week, while Geauga County remained at Level 2.
The district's population is composed of students from both counties.
"Cuyahoga County will take longer to shift (from Level 3), due to the pure numbers of people who are in the county," he said. "In Geauga County, you might see a quicker bounce back and forth between numbers as we go through this."
Why the phased-in approach?
As for the phased-in approach to a return to full-day learning, Hunt said the Beachwood and Solon school districts have used variations of that model with success.
Solon Schools returned students in K-6 to in-person, full-day learning Oct. 5 and brought back students in grades 7-12 via a hybrid model starting Monday (Oct. 19). Beachwood Schools actually returned all students to in-person learning on Sept. 21, but only K-5 students were full day, with students in grades 6-12 in a hybrid model.
Hunt said by waiting until the start of the second trimester to return students in K-6 to full-day learning, it provides three more weeks to monitor data. He emphasized that it's not etched in stone that the district will follow this new plan to the letter.
"There are pros and cons to every decision we make in this," he said. "It may be that in a week or two weeks, we say what we're seeing now is the spread (of the coronavirus) isn't outside of us, it's within us, and we need to press pause and stay in hybrid.
"So that is a reality that may happen, and we need to communicate that with our parents, because I know there are childcare issues and things of that nature that are out there. If there is a significant shift and we're seeing a trend up in our cases locally, in our schools, we could press pause and stay in hybrid until January."
Hunt said he considers the grades 7-12 recommendation a step toward a full-day return "without going all the way in."
"We're going to be implementing the schedule (on Nov. 9) that we would need to implement to go all in," he said. "So we're going to put that schedule in place so it's ready to go, so hopefully if numbers are great on Jan. 4, then the schedule is there, people are familiar with it and we just bring everybody to school.
"This is also a natural academic break for our students, so it kind of fits nicely with that transition."
Hunt closed his presentation with a quote from Gov. Mike DeWine, which said in part, "We do truly control the spread (of the coronavirus) within our community. The spread in the community really determines what is going on in our schools."
"I think that really captures everything that is so true," he said. "We almost need to double-down on our commitment.
"Tonight, we're recommending a step forward that can be very quickly detoured if we're not doing what we need to do outside of here. So I would just implore everyone, as the holidays come, to think about this differently."
For its next regular meeting -- at 6 p.m. Nov. 18 -- the board will return to a virtual format, via Zoom video conferencing. The meeting will be live-streamed on the district's YouTube channel.
District honored for CAFR
The Chagrin Falls School District has received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada.
The award was for the district's comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019.
The certificate of achievement is considered the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting, according to a news release from the district.
The CAFR has been judged by an impartial panel to meet the high standards of the program, which includes demonstrating a constructive "spirit of full disclosure" to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the CAFR, the release stated.

Fitch Solutions slashes growth estimate for PH
Fitch Solutions has cut its Philippine gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast for this year as it sees the continued pandemic-related lockdowns weighing down domestic activity in the near term.
Members of the Philippine National Police flag down motorists at a quarantine checkpoint along Emilio Aguinaldo Highway in Imus City, Cavite on April 2, 2021. A Fitch unit sees the lockdowns to contain the coronavirus disease 2019 as weighing down domestic activity in the near term. PNA PHOTO
In a report released on Monday, the Fitch Group unit announced that it now projects the economy to pick up by only 5.8 percent this year, slower than its earlier outlook of 7.6 percent.
The revised figure falls outside the government's official estimate range of 6.5 to 7.5 percent, but a reversal of the Philippine economy's 9.5-percent slide last year.
"The surge in Covid-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) cases in the Philippines in March and lockdown measures imposed, reflect the continued risks to the archipelago's economic outlook," Fitch Solutions stressed.
The government extended the stricter enhance community quarantine in Metro Manila and nearby provinces until April 11, 2020 to curb the surge in Covid-19 cases.
Fitch Solutions said it also anticipates this lockdown measure to be extended given the sustained climb in cases and the prolonged impact on the country's hospital capacity.
"The likelihood of further outbreaks in other regions remains high and given the slow vaccination rollout in the country (less than 1 percent of the population has been vaccinated as of end-March) we believe the Philippines' recovery will continue to be hampered by the pandemic," it added.
Fitch Solutions added the recent signs of a gradual rebound in economic activity in the first quarter of the year were likely reversed with the more recent lockdown measures.
It also said the Philippine economy is highly vulnerable to lockdowns given its high dependence on domestic consumption and investment, so growth will likely drop again until lockdown measures are relaxed.
Fitch Solutions also sees a disrupted roll out of the government's infrastructure spending drive.
"As such, we have revised down our annual growth outlooks for private consumption and GFCF [gross fixed capital formation] growth from 5.5 percent and 20.0 percent to 4.5 percent and 14.0 percent, respectively, in 2021," it stressed.
Fitch Solutions said risks to its adjusted forecast are "very much tilted to the downside," but added that growth support will come from a gradual recovery in external demand and remittance flows through 2021.
"We believe that overall remittance flows will begin to gradually rebound as growth picks up globally, particularly on the back of a recovery in the US and the Middle East on the back of rising oil prices, which together accounted for 57.4 percent of remittances in 2019," it added.
Fitch Solutions' view compares with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas' expectation that cash remittances from overseas Filipino workers will expand by 4 percent, a turnaround of the 0.8-percent decline in 2020.
"While lockdowns in Europe and tightening credit growth in China threaten the broader recovery in global demand, as vaccination rollouts progress we expect growth to prove strong, boosting the outlook for exports which we forecast to grow 9.5 percent, following a 16.7-percent contraction in 2020," it also emphasized.
The central bank earlier reported that exports of goods shrank by 11.3 percent to $47.4 billion in 2020 from $53.5 billion last year, mainly from the shortfall in shipments of manufactures, mostly electronic products as well as travel goods and handbags, brought about by weak demand from major export markets.
"As such, the external backdrop should continue to provide support to the economy in 2021," Fitch Solutions concluded.

Look to God's word! God's truth has nothing to hide!
Can be found in the Bible! Open it and read!
We can all find that we need! Across our nation!
God's word gives us a true moral compass for living!
God's truth for ours, is what he's freely giving!

Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat says the internationally-backed road map to peace is dead and Israel is to blame. Mr. Arafat made the comments during an off-camera interview with CNN from his headquarters in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
CNN's website quotes Mr. Arafat as saying that "the road map is dead, but only because of Israeli military aggression."
Recent weeks have seen an upsurge in Israeli-Palestinian violence, after a brief lull that resulted when Palestinian militant groups declared a unilateral cease-fire.
But Israel did not recognize it and insisted the Palestinian Authority move to disarm and dismantle factions such as Islamic Jihad and Hamas. Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas did not want to take such steps, fearing such a crackdown would spark a civil war.
The shaky truce unraveled in mid-August when a Hamas suicide bomber blew himself up on a bus in Jerusalem, killing 21 people. Since then Israel has carried out six missile strikes in the Gaza Strip, targeting Hamas leaders and militants. About a dozen militants and several bystanders have been killed in those attacks.
Palestinian militant factions have called off their truce and in the CNN interview Mr. Arafat said there is no chance of them resuming it.
And then there has been the power struggle between Mr. Arafat and Prime Minister Abbas. The prime minister is not very popular at home, but he has the support of Israel and the United States. He has said he is committed to the road map and to reform, but his actions have been limited, some say by Mr. Arafat, who has refused to cede to him full control of the Palestinian security apparatus.
Palestinian leaders have been meeting in Ramallah to try to overcome the differences between the two men. Mr. Arafat told CNN, however that the rift between him and Mr. Abbas has been greatly exaggerated by Israel to create problems for the Palestinian leadership.
Mr. Arafat's comments were published shortly after Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz told Army Radio that Yasser Arafat must go and that Israel might force him into exile before the end of the year. Mr. Mofaz said Israel made a "historic mistake" in not expelling the Palestinian leader two years ago.
Mr. Abbas's political strength may be tested during an expected meeting of the Palestinian Legislative Council on Thursday.

To say these words to your spouse?
Or to the one you say you love?
Is that the case with you?
We love because we decide to love.
Nice lines ! I thought its an uncontrollable feeling .
Love is not an uncontrollable feeling. Such a feeling is passion which very easily turns into hate. Love is a decision. You decide to love or not to love. Thus, it is under your control. If you see those who are successfully married for many years, it is because they have taken the decision to love despite the hurts.


ARLINGTON, Va. – The Navy now plans to design and field two hulls under the Common Hull Auxiliary Multi-Mission Platform (CHAMP) program, after the program office realized the five mission areas CHAMP seeks to cover fit neatly into people-centric and volume-centric categories.
The Navy last year began work to find a common design as a replacement for several auxiliary ships that are rapidly approaching the ends of their service life – a hospital ship, a command and control ship, a submarine tender, and aviation logistics ship and sealift ships.
After early feedback from industry, the program office realized they were headed towards two different hull designs, which should still yield significant savings over pursuing each replacement program separately, Capt. Scot Searles, Strategic and Theater Sealift program manager within the Program Executive Office for Ships, said today at the Surface Navy Association's annual national symposium.
"We're trying to recapitalize these five mission areas, and we want to try to do it in the most economical, most affordable way possible. So what does that mean? That means trying to leverage the propulsion plants, the hull designs – not paying for five different sets of [non-recurring engineering] for five different ships, so trying to find a common propulsion plant, a common hull as much as we can," Searles said.
As the Strategic and Theater Sealift program office looks for options to meet these needs, it also has two ships with hot production lines that have been repeatedly extended by the Navy: the Expeditionary Fast Transport (EPF) made by Austal USA in Alabama and the Expeditionary Seabase (ESB) made by General Dynamics NASSCO in San Diego.
Both Austal and NASSCO – as well as EPF and ESB operators – have noted the vast space that both ships designs have and the flexibility to use that space for many missions, including as a medical facility. The EPF is already built with some medical spaces, but a massive passenger bay inside the ship and nearby the medical space could be outfitted with more patient beds, more operating rooms, and so on. The ESB has a wide-open mission bay that is used for small boat operations today, but leaders aboard that ship told USNI News previously that the space could easily be used as a hospital. USS Lewis B. Puller (ESB-3) has already experimented with hosting an Expeditionary Resuscitative Surgical System (ERSS) team that provided a Role II medical facility from a tent on the flight deck with no modifications to the ship at all.

Pacific Horizon 2017 is a Maritime Prepositioning Force (MPF) exercise designed to train I Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) and components of Naval Beach Group 1 (NBG-1) Marines and Sailors on arrival and assembly operations for a crisis response, humanitarian assistance or amassing combat power ashore from sea.

Searles told USNI News during his presentation at the SNA conference that the industry studies are meant to generate these kinds of ideas and that, with cost being so important to the CHAMP program, hot production lines and mature technologies could be leveraged.
"When we look at EPF, ESB, as well as the other platforms that are out there, what we're seeking from industry: tell us. That is the whole point of the industry study, is to tell us the most affordable way to recapitalize these ships. When we look at the sealift portfolio and the relative priority of sealift ships among carriers, submarines, combatants, auxiliaries, small boats – where does sealift fall in? Obviously we're in the auxiliary category, and so when the Navy the Nation Needs and the buildup to the 350-ship navy – as we look at that, where do we fall in the relative priority, we have to be economical," Searles said.
The EPF production line in Mobile is still churning out ships. The Navy previously planned to buy 10 hulls, but lawmakers have continued to give the sea service money for more. The Navy now has the funds for its 13th and 14th ships and is negotiating those contracts with Austal.
On the ESB line, the Navy previously took a commercial oil tanker design and created an Expeditionary Transfer Dock (ESD) that allows prepositioning ships to offload goods onto the ship at sea, personnel unpack the large shipping containers, and then surface connectors onload goods to bring ashore. After the Navy bought two of these ESDs, the service added a flight deck across the top of the design and created the ESB – for which Congress has already appropriated funds for the fourth and fifth and for which the Navy is negotiating with NASSCO.

The program office released a request for proposals for its industry studies on Jan. 8, and responses are due Feb. 15.
When the Navy eventually accepts delivery of these new CHAMP ships, the first ones will tackle the sealift mission, followed by the submarine tender mission, based on fleet feedback and ship retirement schedules. These auxiliary ships will be used in the fleet via the Maritime Prepositioning Force. Current MFP ships, many of which are about halfway through their service life, will go into reduced operating status and be held in the Military Sealift Command surge fleet. And the hulls in the surge fleet today, which are quite old and many of which use steam propulsion plants, will be retired.
To bolster the surge force until the CHAMP hulls begin delivering, the Navy will also do some service-life extension work on the hulls and buy used auxiliary ships as needed, Searles said.


In the last post, I discussed some steps for learning to program, and ended with a few general resources. This post will provide some specific links and free books for learning programming with either Java and Python, and the next post will go into web development languages.
As discussed, Python is a great language to learn programming with, and there are tons of learning resources online. A good path would be to start with a simple tutorial and problems, and then go through a more advanced resource that teaches fundamentals of programming.
Codecademy recently expanded to offer Python tutorials, and they have a well-designed site that's good for beginners. There are many other places you can practice problems, such as CodingBat or PythonChallenge. To get a better understanding of what the code does, you can visualize your Python executing.
To learn computer science fundamentals, How to Think Like a Computer Scientist is a great interactive book to go through. After you get through that (or if you already have programming experience), you'll want to look at Dive Into Python 3. If you want a video course, Udacity offers short videos combined with coding problems. You can start by building a search engine in Introduction to Computer Science, and then move on to either Algorithms or Web Development.
There aren't as many free Java resources, but there's enough to get started. There's a Java version of How to Think Like a Computer Scientist available online. There's also a free version of Thinking in Java, though you may want to buy the most recent version instead. If you like lots of pictures and attitude, Head First Java is a good book. Once you have more experience, the recommended Java book is Effective Java. You can also go through the official Java tutorials.
Since Java is a different kind of language than Python, there aren't as many interactive resources online. To practice problems, you can go through CodingBat and some stuff on Programr. However, to benefit fully from Java's "safe" features, you will want to do most of your programming in an IDE. I don't think you should use a beginner IDE like BlueJ, since it lacks features that are also useful for beginners. While you type, an IDE can catch certain kinds of errors and auto-suggest methods and let you lookup documentation. Later, you should also learn to use more advanced tools like the debugger. A good full IDE for beginners is Netbeans, though if you want to do Android development later, you should use Eclipse. However, if you know a kid who wants to learn programming, it might be worth checking out the Graphics-focused IDE, Greenfoot.
Since app-development is very popular, I'll briefly discuss it here. Due to Android's complexity, you shouldn't try developing apps before you're comfortable with Java. One you're ready, Google provides a fair amount of training resources. You can also buy a book like Programming Android. If you're impatient to start creating apps, you can use the visual programming tool AppInventor, which should help teach some programming concepts.

Long before there was the selfie, there was the "autoportrait." A world away from the Pictures generation, in 1975 Samuel Fosso set up a small photo studio in Bangui, capital of the Central African Republic, and photographed himself in the flashy disco styles of the time (tailored bell-bottoms and platform boots, natch). Fosso's black-and-white "Autoportraits" series, 1975–78, was a gesture of self-fashioning, a response to outside influences that resulted in a uniquely African artistic expression. That sense of constructing and celebrating identity lies at the heart of Fosso's images as well as those of the other artists included in "African Spirits," a group show that surveys the history of photographic portraiture across the African continent.
Eschewing chronological display, "African Spirits" instead exhibits photographs by contemporary artists alongside their pioneering predecessors. Malick Sidibé's pictures capturing the vibrant, highly stylized youth culture of postcolonial Bamako, Mali's capital, are placed near South African photographer Zanele Muholi's black-and-white self-portrait Fisani, Parktown, 2016. Whereas Sidibé portrays the self-styling of Bamako's nightlife denizens, Muholi depicts herself in costume, adorned with a crown and a necklace of oversize safety pins. Elsewhere, the large-scale mixed-media assemblage Cardi B Unity, 2017, by Moroccan photographer Hassan Hajjaj, depicts the reigning queen of rap, surrounded by a frame of green-tea canisters. Opposite this work is a selection of small, vintage gelatin silver prints, including several by Sanlé Sory, who documented Burkina Faso's dynamic cultural scene, which blossomed after the country gained independence from the French in 1960. Meanwhile, Seydou Keïta's Untitled (Man with Flower), 1959, finds its inheritor in the images of Beninese photographer Leonce Raphael Agbodjelou, such as Untitled, 2012, featuring a trio of muscle-bound men posing before a backdrop of boldly patterned textiles. In both, sartorial flair lends the subjects an air of performative brio, underscoring the centrality that fashion plays in many of the pictures included in the show.
Though portraiture unites all of the artists in "African Spirits," these works also make explicit that posing for the camera can be a deeply empowering act of selfhood. Such a revelation is well worth a picture's thousand words.

Tinnelly Group Syndicate Wins the EuroMillions
An 18-member syndicate from Newry, Northern Ireland won a quarter of a million pounds in the EuroMillions on Friday, March 29th, 2019. The Tinnelly Group syndicate will share the winnings evenly, leaving each member with a £14,000 upgrade to their bank accounts.
They all worked together at the demolition company Tinnelly Group Ltd. and they would put money together to buy EuroMillions tickets for the Friday draw. Michelle O'Hare from Warrenpoint, the syndicate manager, would usually buy the tickets for the entire month from her local shop.
But just before the March 29th draw, there was a change in plans. Michelle was at a wedding, so she asked her colleague, Gareth Tinnelly, to buy the tickets that time. He got them at Mulkerns Eurospar, a shop close to their company HQ.
This turned out to be a very lucky change for the group because it made them rich. However, it took a bit before they got the good news. The ticket stayed untouched on Gareth's desk for over a week before Michelle thought to check it.
She took it with her and checked it at the shop, as she always does, but this time, she told her that she needs to contact the National Lottery because she won a large amount. She immediately checked the ticket on her phone and found out they had won £253,489.30. She doublechecked the ticket and even asked some friends and family to check as well.
Convinced that it was all true, she contacted the National Lottery and got the confirmation for the good news. Then, Michelle and Gareth came up with a plan to tell the rest of the syndicate members about the win on the following Monday morning.
"For the first time in forever, I was looking forward to getting up early to go to work on a Monday.", said Michelle. They told everybody that they had forgotten to buy lottery tickets over the weekend, but that they had placed a bet in the Grand National on Saturday instead. They gave everybody an envelope and told them that whose envelope contained the name of the winning horse would win £500.
The contents of the envelopes actually said that they had each won £14,000. "They soon realised what had happened and it wasn't long before everyone was jumping around, hugging each other, cheering and crying for joy. It was a brilliant moment that I'm sure none of us will ever forget."
The 18 co-workers even got the afternoon off to go to the pub and celebrate their EuroMillions win. "We really had a smashing time", said Michelle. The Tinnelly Group syndicate is only one of the many amazing syndicate winners. If you want to try the syndicate experience, play EuroMillions online and buy your very own share! Good luck!

Il Tribunale ecclesiastico regionale è il tribunale della Chiesa cattolica che giudica le cause matrimoniali in prima istanza; alcuni tribunali ecclesiastici regionali giudicano contemporaneamente in seconda istanza la cause di altri tribunali viciniori. L'unica eccezione si trova in Roma, in cui è presente sia il tribunale ecclesiastico regionale di primo grado sia il relativo tribunale di secondo grado, evidentemente distinti, sebbene nella stessa sede del Vicariato di Roma.

A ogni tribunale di prima istanza è assegnato un tribunale ordinario di seconda istanza, il quale è però concorrente con il Tribunale Apostolico della Rota, ovvero la parte che vuole interporre appello può scegliere liberamente se farlo al tribunale ordinario o alla Rota. Il terzo grado, e gli eventuali ulteriori gradi, sono di competenza esclusiva della Rota Romana

Per le cause matrimoniali vige il principio della duplice conforme: solo se i due giudizi sono "conformi" ovvero nello stesso senso, la sentenza diventa definitiva; in caso di decisioni discordanti si passa al terzo grado. Ultimamente questo principio non vale più per il Tribunale della Rota Romana, la cui sentenza affermativa non necessità più di una doppia conferma.

What a diverse and well-written collection of opinion pieces recently. Margaret Montoya ("Using fund dollars for early ed not a 'raid,' " My View, March 10), described those who would misuse "raid" — for tapping the Land Grant Permanent Fund — as "wrongheaded, symbolic of the impaired reasoning associated with a scarcity mentality." Substituting "of mental capacity" for "mentality," I thought would be a wonderful way of describing the current Trumpian Republicans.
Then, I read Republican Dr. Peter Smith's My View, ("GOP members of Congress, remember the Constitution," March 10), signed by more than 30 GOP members of Congress and decided there may be some "scarcity of mental capacity" in the GOP, but evidently not all of them. Thus, I conclude the biggest, current Republican flaw is party members' profile in cowardliness. They are cowering before the White House buffoon in fear of being primaried and thus compromising their principles and abjectly violating their oath to protect our Constitution. May God (and the Democrats) save this nation from the Trumpian Republicans.
The city should remove the thousands of speed bumps on major roads. The potholes are taking care of speeding and breaking suspensions.
I feel sorry for Iscah Carey, the young professional woman having the wrath of zoning upon her ("Greenhouse unfit for historic district," Feb. 15). What gets me is the city knows about its deficiency. Why not regulate with human spirit in mind?
When I lived on Hawaii where Ohanas (similar to an accessory dwelling unit) are abundant, it seemed to work. Friends, relatives may visit; it may be used as a vacation rental. On Maui, the Ohana was and is a place for elderly relatives to reside when in need. So why is it that Santa Fe is not able to address this problem once and for all?
The problem for people with casitas and/or greenhouses is not really the city, but newcomers, out-of-towners and -staters who point the gentrification finger at them. If you're local and have the right contacts, no such problem exists. My advice? Procure a "creative" rental agreement. What's wrong with that?
Over 160,000 people, mostly young, have been striking and protesting all over Europe to bring attention to our climate crises. The worldwide student strike and the Sunrise Movement in the U.S. is making its presence felt at the offices of our representatives and senators to support a Green New Deal, modeled after FDR's immensely popular New Deal program.
Since the best science tells us we have 12 years to make profound changes, half-measures are worth about as much as no measures. The good news is the Green New Deal is immensely popular, even among Republicans. Please call your senators and ask that they get on the right side of history.
Writing an article all about the non-emergency at the border without mentioning the word "illegal" at least one time is disingenuous and the creation of "fake" news ("N.M. cities mobilize as shelters take in migrants," March 14; "It's time to help refugees among us," Our View, March 14). The same holds true for articles on "climate change" where our sun and the solar cycles are not mentioned. Do you not agree that our star is the biggest influence on our weather and climate?
How is the "illegal" migrant situation not an emergency when "shelters are often at capacity" and Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller is willing to open up his home? You have two articles on a situation that is not an emergency? Why ask for more volunteers if there is no emergency? Neither mentions stronger border security and how it might help this "non" emergency.


Panning is a technique in photography that is used to capture a moving object in action.The subject of the photo is clearly caught on camera; however, the rest remains a blur in the background. Panning suggests speed and velocity to an image. To date, more and more people are into enhancing their panning skills.
Below are 40 Examples of Panning Shots in Photography that was shot by skilled and aspiring photographers as they explore and use the panning technique. These photos were mostly taken with the use of a Digital Single Lens Reflex camera. Feel free to browse through these images and be motivated!
Did we miss anything? If you have stumble upon a panning photos that was not included on the list, feel free to add the link on the comment section.
Wow! That was an amazing compilation.
By the way, the 4th last image was a guy riding a bike with a white helmet. Can anyone tell me what is it's model? I kinda like it.
Some technical information about panning. Panning works the best for me with my 10mm when I'm around a shutterspeed of 1/15 (put the camera on shutterspeed mode, so it will determine the diafragma for you). Ofcourse it depends on how fast the object you want to pan moves. The more you do it, the more you'll get keepers.
Great photographs and another great post from the author : Ronald Bien… a Graphic Designer from Philippines. He launches Naldz Graphics to help the Design Community in providing quality design resources and tutorials. Lots of great things here at NaldzGraphics… and thanks again to Brukhar at Presidia Creative for sending me this fairly new, I think, blogsite !!
Wow! Thank you for sharing these. What a cool collection.
Ronald – Nice job in gathering this collection of great photos. I was always a fan of panning shots.
amazing photography but i feel there is some manipulations or may be there is camera quality.
this is very spectacular !
Awesome collection, I love action photographs, especially when they can capture some of the kinetic energy that was flowing at the moment the photo was taken. Thanks for putting this together!
Very few of these are legitimate pans. The rest are Photoshop effects, many clumsily applied. The easy tipoff is when the motion blur goes both ways. Or the wrong way.
Awesome pictures, but here's my question: how do you take a panning shot? Is it wide aperture, fast shutter speed? I've never been able to take one.
Wow, it must take incredible skill to take these shots because whenever I see others taking them they don't come out anywhere near this in clarity!
wow. you could have broken up the 40 with a bit more variation. quite alot of the same type of shot?
gee, thanks for not telling people how it was done. seems a tripod was in use for many f the expert shots. whats the usual shutter speed and is it just a matter of following the action please xplain how its done and why no night shots?
The one with the two kids looks fake.
May anyone share some tutorials? I don't know how can I do it!
Okay, I have to admit, those were really cool. I love the birds especially, but seeing the people seemingly standing still while the world moves on,… very neat.
Your site is the best!!!
Thank you for featuring my skate boarder photo (3rd photo of the set), I appreciate it!
Coming up next, "35 examples of square pictures".
my motion blurs are under Boston Cabs in Motion.
really nice collection, thank you.
I have hundreds of panning shots of skateboarders.
Very nice, i always wondered how this was done, great pictures will have to save.
wow man, there like totes cool.
I like all the photo.


What are your top three priorities? It may be to play a game with your children, send an email, call a friend, clean the bathroom, go for a walk, wear something bright, have a challenging conversation with someone you love, say something kind to yourself in the mirror or cook a yummy Winter meal for your family. It's up to you.
This week, each morning upon waking,.. set your intention (how you would like to feel today) reflect on what you are grateful for (a gratitude list) decide what your top three priorities will be (three tasks/actions).
Your priorities may be people or task orientated however by setting three top priorities, it becomes easier to celebrate at the end of each day.
Make a list of your top three priorities each morning. "Today my top three priorities are..."
I live in alignment with my priorities and values.
