The European Sports Cars of the '60s: Raw Style.
The company's first production automobile, it was a lightweight and nimble rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive 2 door available in hardtop coupe and open configurations. Design innovations continued during the years of manufacture, contributing to its motorsports success and popularity. Production started in 1948 at Gmünd, Austria where approximately 50 cars were built. In 1950 the factory relocated to Zuffenhausen, Germany and general production of the 356 continued until April 1965, well after the replacement model 911 made its autumn 1963 debut. It is estimated approximately half of the total production of 76,000 356s still survive.
The company's most successful early line, the 250 series included several variants. It was replaced by the 275 and the 330.
Nearly all 250s share the the Colombo m.125 V12 2,953 cc (180 cu in) engine. It isn't big, but its light weight and impressive output (up to 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp) made a big difference. The Ferrari V12 weighed hundreds of pounds less than its chief competitors; it was nearly half the weight of the Jaguar XK-E straight 6.
The first of the 250 line was the experimental 250 S "Berlinetta" entered in the 1952 Mille Miglia. Ferrari was outgunned in the long straights but fought back in the hills and curves and emerged victorious at the end.
The 1963 330 "America" -a 250 in all but name- shared the same chassis but it had a 4.0 L. engine. 50,330 Americas were built. California socialite Sandra Ilene West was buried at the wheel of her car following a 1977 drug overdose: her instructions specified that she be clad in her lace nightgown with the driver's seat "slanted at a comfortable angle". The car (and driver) are interred at the Alamo Masonic Cemetery, San Antonio, Texas.
Introduced in 1954 as a two-seater hardtop, it was later offered as an open roadster.
Built by Daimler-Benz AG the road model was suggested by Max Hoffman: intended for the booming post-war American market it was introduced at the 1954 New York Auto Show, unlike previous models introduced in either Frankfurt or Geneva.
The 300SL was best known for both its distinctive gull wing doors and the first-ever four-stroke gasoline direct injection. The gull wing version was available from March 1955 to 1957. Production of the roadster ended in 1963 with the introduction of the 230SL.
The best known of the "big" Healey models, the bodywork was made by Jensen Motors and the cars were assembled at the BMC Abingdon works. The original Austin Healey 3000 has a 2912 cc I6 engine, with twin SU carburetors and Girling front disc brakes. It was referred to as the "Mark I" after the "Mark II" was released. The original 3000 was built from March 1959 to March 1961 with the model designations BT7 (4-seat version) and BN7 (2-seater). A BT7 3000 hardtop with overdrive was tested by The Motor magazine in 1960 and had a top speed of 115 mph (185 km/h), going from 0–60 mph (97 km/h) in 11.7 seconds.
The 3000 Mk II was introduced in 1961 and came with three SU HS4 carburetors and an improved camshaft, giving it a top speed of 112.9 mph (181.7 km/h) and 0–60 mph (97 km/h) in 10.9 seconds.
The 3000 Mk III was launched in October 1963, and remained in production until the end of 1967 when production of Austin-Healeys ceased. Classified as the BJ8, the new model was the most powerful and luxurious of the big Healeys, with a walnut-veneer dash, wind-up windows, and a 150 hp engine. Improvements to the engine included a new camshaft and valve springs and twin SU 2″ HD8 carburetors, together with a new design of exhaust system.
Austin Healey 3000's have a long competition history and raced at most major racing circuits around the world, including Sebring (USA), Le Mans (France), and Mount Panorama Circuit, Bathurst (Australia).
The BMC competitions department successfully rallied the 3000 from its introduction, but development of the cars effectively ended in 1965, mainly due to the success of the Mini Cooper 'S'.
The model was produced in three distinct versions which are now generally referred to as "Series 1", "Series 2" and "Series 3"; another transitional series is known unofficially as "Series 1½" and several limited-edition variants came out.
S1 used the triple SU carburetted 3.8 litre 6-cylinder Jaguar XK6 engine from the XK150S. better cooling aided by an enlarged "mouth" and twin electric fans, and uprated brakes are hallmarks of Series 2 cars were de-tuned in US with twin strombergs and larger valve clearances, but they still had triple SUs in the UK and the much tighter valve clearances. The S2 engine is easily identified by the change from polished cam covers to a more industrial "ribbed" appearance.
In S3 a new 5.3 L. V12 engine was introduced, with updated brakes and standard power steering.
The MG Car Company was founded in the 1920s by Cecil Kimber. Produced by MG division of the British Motor Corporation from 1961 to 1979, it revived a name used on earlier models. The Midget wasn't a particularly powerful machine, and it was hugely popular.
The first model was essentially a version of the Austin-Healey Sprite MKII with a 948 cc A-Series and twin SU carburetors. A hard top, heater, radio and luggage rack were available as factory fitted extras.
In 1962 the engine was increased to 1098 cc.:16,080 of the small-engined version and 9601 of the 1098 were made.
A car with the 948 cc engine was tested by "The Motor" in 1962 and had a top speed of 87.9 mph (141.5 km/h) and could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 18.3 seconds. The test car cost £689 including taxes on the UK market.
In 1964 the engine block was strengthened and larger main bearings were fitted, increasing the power to 59 hp. In '66 the engine grew to 1275 cc using the development seen on the Mini-Cooper 'S'. In 1971 the compression ratio on North American engines was reduced to 8.0:1. Engine power output fell to 54.5 bhp @ 5500 RPM and 67 lb-ft of torque @ 3250 RPM.
Originally devised by Standard-Triumph to compete in the small sports car market which had opened up with the introduction of the Austin-Healey Sprite, the Spitfire was introduced at the London Motor Show in 1962 and was based on a design by Giovanni Michelotti. The platform for the car was largely based upon the chassis, engine, and running gear of the Triumph Herald saloon, and was manufactured at the Standard-Triumph works at Canley, Coventry.
The original Spitfire 4 (aka Mark I) featured an in-line four producing 63 bhp (47 kW) at 5750 rpm, and 67 ft·lb (91 N·m)of torque at 3500 rpm. This gave a top speed of 92 mph (148 km/h), and it would do to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 17.3 seconds. A number of revisions were implemented over the '60s and '70s, culminating in the 1500 Spitfire which produced 71 bhp (53 kW) at 5500 rpm, and produced 82 ft·lb (111 N·m) of torque at 3000 rpm.Top speed was now at the 100 mph (160 km/h) mark, and 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) was reached in 13.2 seconds.
Produced from 1966 to 1972, the car is widely considered to have begun the trend of high performance, two-seater, mid-engined sports cars. At launch it was the fastest production road car available.
The Miura was originally conceived by Lamborghini's engineering team against the wishes of Ferruccio Lamborghini, who wanted grand touring designs rather than the racecar-derived machines produced by rival Ferrari. When the prototype P400 debuted at the 1966 Geneva show, the car received a stellar reception for its styling and revolutionary design.
As Lamborghini's halo car, the Miura received periodic updates and remained in production until 1972. It was replaced by the Countach in 1974.
The 124 Sport Spider debuted at the November 1966 Turin Auto Show. Designed and manufactured by Italian carozzeria Pininfarina, Fiat continued to market the car as the 2000 Spider from 1979 to 1982: from 1983 to the end of its production in 1985 it was marketed as as the Pininfarina Spider Azzura.
The car was sold in Europe and the U.S. from its introduction until 1975 when it was modified to comply with new U.S. regulations, and no European version was produced. Sales in Europe resumed in 1983 under the name Pininfarina Europa Spider.
The engine was a double overhead cam, aluminum crossflow head version of the sedan's pushrod unit.
The 124 started in 1966 with a capacity of 1438 cc progressively increasing to 1608 cc in 1970 (although this reduced to 1592 cc in 1973), 1756 cc in 1974 and finally 1995 cc in 1979. Designed by Dan Vano. Bosch fuel injection replaced the previously used Weber carburetors midway through 1980. In 1981 and 1982, Fiat partnered with Legend Industries to create approximately 700 turbo models. There was also a supercharged model called Volumex offered toward the end of production, and sold only in Europe. This family of engines was designed by ex-Ferrari chief engineer Aurelio Lampredi and in one form or another remained in production into the 1990s giving it one of the longest production runs in history.
The original 1438 cc engine produced 96bhp @ 6000rpm, doing 0-60mph in 11.9s and had a max speed of 106mph. The final 1995 cc fuel injection turbo put out 120bhp @ 6000rpm, and did 0-60mph in 10.1s with the same top speed.

Media Mogul
The power behind the News Corporation media empire
Name at birth: Keith Rupert Murdoch
Rupert Murdoch inherited a small Australian newspaper in 1952 and aggressively turned it into one of the biggest media corporations in the world: the News Corporation, now parent company of Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and The Times of London. Rupert Murdoch grew up in Australia and was attending Oxford University when his father, the wealthy newspaperman Sir Keith Murdoch, died in 1952. Rupert returned to Australia to take over the family business at age 22. Over the years, Rupert Murdoch acquired more and more media outlets in Australia and then overseas, from China to Europe and the United States. (He became a U.S. citizen in 1985 in order to meet the legal requirements for owning American TV stations.) Today the News Corporation is a global media conglomerate that includes television, feature films, online services, newspapers and books, with holdings that include the Fox TV Network (including Fox News), HarperCollins Books, 20th Century Fox, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Post and The Times of London. One of the world's wealthiest men, Rupert Murdoch has often been criticized for imposing his conservative political views on the editorial content of his newspapers and TV stations, and for "lowering the standards" of the publications and outlets he acquires; fans say he's a brilliant businessman who gives people what they want. In either case, he has shown little sign of slowing down even in his eighties. His son James "Jamie" Murdoch is a News Corporation executive and is widely seen as Murdoch's heir apparent.
Rupert Murdoch has been married four times. His first three were to Patricia Booker (1956-1967), to Anna Maria Torv (1967-99), and to Wendi Deng (1999-2014). His first three marriages ended in divorce. In 2016 he married Jerry Hall, the former model and longtime companion of rock star Mick Jagger. Murdoch is 25 years older than Hall… Rupert Murdoch has six children in all: Prudence (b. 1958) with his first wife Patricia; Elizabeth (b. 1968), Lachlan (b. 1971), and James (b. 1972) with his second wife Anna; and Grace (b. 2001) and Chloe (b. 2005) with Wendi Deng.

We ran within 20 miles of the Washington Canyon where we had intended to spend the night but found the wind howling out of the NE up to 15-20 knots so we decided turn the boat to the north run up to the Baltimore. The recent reports from the Washington were better than our local canyons for tuna and we had some of our best trips of the entire offshore season down there and that is why we opted to make the long run south but it was not to be, so we ended up in the Baltimore which my latest chlorophyll and sea temp shots showed some good water just to the south of the canyon and out to 500 fathoms. When we got there we found the conditions nothing like the latest Satellite shots I had gotten on Saturday even out to 500 fathoms as the canyon was covered with had cold green water (69-70 degrees)with little or no life in it overall. There were no whales anywhere and actually thought about running up to the Wilmington but the radio reports I got from up there seemed to indicate there was more bait along with a few tuna but nothing great overall so we opted to target Big Eyes by trolling into the night but never had one bite on the troll nor did we see any tuna on our fishfinder while trolling. The end result was the tuna fishing was nonexistent in the Baltimore even though we did catch one on the troll (25 lb. Yellowfin) trolling around 70 fathoms but no chunk or jig bites all night and from what the radio said no one else did either. We sword fished but only had a couple of legitimate bites that did not come tight but we did have literally all the sharks you wanted at times during the night even when we did not chunk. It was just one long night for us in the Baltimore and one of the slowest tuna trips of the entire 2015 season.
Looking at the latest sea temp and Chlorophyll shots I would head north up to the Lindy or Toms if I was going today but it is going to be a while before we get back out and our next scheduled charter is October 23-24 if we get some decent weather and I feel the conditions lend themselves to putting a good tuna catch together. We will continue to run offshore if we can until early November if the fish the tuna are around and the weather allows us to get offshore.
Total lack of squid in the Baltimore. Very similar to some of our other recent trips as it is so different from past years in our local canyons when we could not put a squid, sardine or butterfish down without it getting eaten by other squid in a few short minutes. Big question is where has all the squid gone compared to the past in our local southern canyons?

Four p.m. or 4 p.m.? 1950s or 1950's? Writing an essay or paper can be challenging enough. Start to consider the various formatting rules that exist for including numbers in your essay, and you might find yourself overwhelmed by the conventions of writing. Fortunately, these rules are actually fairly straightforward and easy to remember. Review and practice them and they'll soon become second nature, allowing you to spend less time thinking about guidelines and more time thinking about your writing.
When writing numbers in your essay, the general rule is that whole numbers below 10 should always be spelled out. You would assert that there are "three cars" or "eight baseballs." Numbers 10 and above should be written in numeral form: "21 bugs," "52 cards." When a number below 10 is grouped with a number above 10, the rule for the higher number takes precedence: "8 to 12 weeks."
Use numerals for dates, times, and ages. For example, "October 27, 1986," "4 p.m.," or "37 years old." Spell out the number when writing out a time, such as "eleven o'clock."
Identification numbers should be written as numerals: "Room 7," District 4," "Channel 22."
Write years and decades in numeral form. Something might take place in 2005 or in the 1990s (decades do not use an apostrophe before the "s"). Centuries can be spelled out ("fifteenth century") or written in numeral form ("18th century").
Numbers that begin a sentence should always be spelled out: "Sixty-seven movies were released last month." However, for prose purposes, avoid using numbers at the beginning of sentences.
Spell out rounded or inexact numbers. Also spell out common fractions. You might say there were "about a thousand" people at a gathering, or that "one-quarter of the audience found it funny."

We love the taste of the ice on our palates. Though most of us do not usually take some time to think of some of the dark sides of the ice cream maker use, the nagging existence of some risk is real. The diverse ice cream maker types then presents us with a cause for conducting critical review of the whole process.
The pertinent question which has nagged my mind within this period has been the reason why this nice process must have several appliances of different ranges. Finding answers may not be easy because I got none myself.
Ice cream makers can make your life quite enjoyable. The mere thought of being able to make some tasty ice cream, yogurt from the free existing fruit juices is something only imaginable if you don't have it. With it in the house, the dream is as real as daylight.
Because of the diversity, the secret on the quality is usually a hidden fact never accessed by many, especially first time users. The capacity of each ice cream determines what you eventually get.
There are people who are looking for efficiency, speed and great taste on this note; you can take time to invest in an ice cream maker which uses the electric current instead of the manual one. The electric ice cream makers cut greatly on the cost when put comparatively.
While most of the ice cream makers have the freezing compartments, the ice cream is usually kept there at its fresh state. When you take the ice cream from here, consume it and the rest, throw in the pit. Some people have tried freezing it again with risk of bacterial infection on the colon.
In addition, the homemade ice cream usually uses no preservatives and needs be eaten sooner to avoid getting spoilt. However, the recipe components which you may need to use can be kept at frozen state for the future.
The practice of taking the ice cream direct from the freezer and consuming has caused a lot of health problems on individuals it is only wise if you gave the food time to defrost and become normal for the mouth.
It is however worth noting that when conducting the cleaning of an electric ice cream maker, it is important if you unplugged it from the power to avoid having short circuits. Dry the ice cream mixing bowls for the future.
Some of the ice cream makers in the market come specifically with the instructions on the ingredients to be used.
It is not too much if you just adhered to the requirements. In addition, the measuring cup in these ice cream makers is meant to avoid cases of using any component of the ice cream in excess.
Getting to be around people with the knowledge on the use of the ice cream makers is an important element in the course of successful use of the gadget. However, most novices would prefer to visit the different sites where these gadgets are reviewed to have a complete picture.
Whichever means you use, bear in mind that the ice cream making process can be interesting if done correctly. Nevertheless, it can cause great human suffering should the user overlook some important health precautions and end up feeding on stale ice cream ingredients.

The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution
2009 book by Richard Dawkins
First edition (UK)
Free Press, Transworld
3 September 2009 (UK)
22 September 2009 (US)
The God Delusion
The Magic of Reality: How We Know What's Really True[1][2]
The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution is a 2009 book by British biologist Richard Dawkins, which was released on 3 September 2009 in the UK and on 22 September 2009 in the US.[3] It sets out the evidence for biological evolution, and is Dawkins's 10th book, following his best-selling critique of religion The God Delusion (2006) and The Ancestor's Tale (2004), which traced human ancestry back to the dawn of life.
The book is published in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth nations by Transworld,[4] and in the United States by Free Press.[5] In its first week of release, it topped The Sunday Times' Bestseller list, with more than twice the sales of its nearest competitor.[6] An audiobook version has also been released, read by Dawkins and his wife Lalla Ward.
3 Critical reception
This book is my personal summary of the evidence that the 'theory' of evolution is actually a fact—as incontrovertible a fact as any in science.
—  Richard Dawkins, The Greatest Show on Earth, p. vii
Richard Dawkins has written a number of books about evolution, beginning with The Selfish Gene (1976) and The Extended Phenotype (1982). These he followed with three books that attempted to address common misunderstandings about evolution.[7] His documentary series The Genius of Charles Darwin looks at Darwin's life and some of the evidence for evolution.
However, when he looked back at the work he had published, he felt that he had never comprehensively addressed the evidence of common descent.[7] Dawkins believed that opposition to evolution was as strong as ever, despite the overwhelming, and growing, body of evidence for the theory. He started writing The Greatest Show on Earth during his final months as Charles Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science (Marcus du Sautoy now holds the position) and finished it in retirement. He thought that 2009, the bicentennial of Darwin's birth and 150th anniversary of his book On the Origin of Species, was the perfect time for such a work.[7][8] Other authors have written similar books recently, such as Jerry Coyne's Why Evolution is True which Dawkins highly recommends.[9]
The book is dedicated to Dawkins' technical assistant and web designer Josh Timonen (left)
Dawkins's literary agent John Brockman promoted the book to publishers under the working title Only a Theory. However, American biologist Kenneth Miller had already used that title for his own book, Only a Theory: Evolution and the Battle for America's Soul (2008). He kept "Only a Theory?" as the title for the first chapter, "with a precautionary question mark to guard against creationist quote-mining".[7][10] Dawkins got the title from a T-shirt given to him by "an anonymous well-wisher" which bears the words "Evolution: The Greatest Show on Earth; the Only Game in Town".[7] He wore it occasionally when giving lectures,[11] and realised it was ideal for a title. However, since his editor would not permit such a long title,[12] they shortened it to The Greatest Show on Earth. On three occasions, Dawkins wanted to include new scientific findings that emerged late in the publishing process; despite the disruption, the publisher accommodated them.[7]
Dawkins dedicated the book to Josh Timonen, who worked with others to build the website RichardDawkins.net. Dawkins writes in the preface: "Josh's creative talent runs deep, but the image of the iceberg captures neither the versatile breadth of his contributions to our joint endeavour, nor the warm good humour with which he makes them." Dawkins also thanks his wife Lalla's "unfailing encouragement, helpful stylistic criticisms and characteristically stylish suggestions", and his friend Charles Simonyi as he signs off after fourteen years and seven books.[7]
The vestigial wings of the flightless cormorant, which it still hangs out to dry, are discussed in the book.[13]
The book is divided into 13 chapters spanning over 400 pages, and includes an appendix called "The history-deniers" in the end material.
Only a theory? (nature of scientific theory and fallibility)
Dogs, cows and cabbages (artificial selection)
The primrose path to macro-evolution
Silence and slow time (age of the Earth and the geologic time scale)
Before our very eyes (examples of evolution observed)
Missing link? What do you mean, 'missing'? (the fossil record)
Missing persons? Missing no longer (human evolution)
You did it yourself in nine months (a statement attributed to J. B. S. Haldane; discusses developmental biology)
The ark of the continents (biogeography and plate tectonics)
The tree of cousinship (the tree of life, homology and analogy)
History written all over us (vestigiality and unintelligent design)
Arms races and 'evolutionary theodicy' (coevolution and evolutionary arms races)
There is grandeur in this view of life (based on the final passage of On the Origin of Species)
Critical reception[edit]
The book received mixed to positive critical reception on its release. Writing in The Times, Anjana Ahuja described Dawkins's account of the evidence for evolution as "fine, lucid and convincing". Though she criticised him for aggrandising the role of Islam in the spread of creationism and suggested that his writing style is unlikely to persuade disbelievers, Ahuja described these as merely "quibbles" and recommended the book to all readers.[14] The Economist also featured a favourable review, praising Dawkins's writing style as "persuasive" and lauding its educational value.[15] Mark Fisher in The List called Dawkins a "compelling communicator", adding that the book was "illuminating" and praising the use of humorous anecdotes throughout.[16] The Sunday Telegraph awarded it "Book of the Week", with reviewer Simon Ings describing Dawkins as a "master of scientific clarity and wit". Although Ings felt that anger had interfered with Dawkins's creativity to an extent, he also praised sections of the book as "magical" and "visceral", concluding that there was a "timeless merit" to the overall theme.[17][18][19][20][21]
The New York Times reviewer Nicholas Wade, while praising the work overall, criticised Dawkins's assertion that evolution can be treated as an undeniable fact and asserted that Dawkins's insistence that it is a fact makes him as dogmatic as his opponents. Moreover, characterising his opponents as "history-deniers," "worse than ignorant" and "deluded to the point of perversity" Wade asserts, "is not the language of science, or civility." Wade sees both Dawkins and his creationist opponents as wrong.[22] Wade's review was subsequently criticised in numerous letters to The New York Times. In one, Daniel Dennett asserted that creationism deserves as much respect as believing that the world is flat. Another letter, from Philip Kitcher, Professor of Philosophy at Columbia University, asserted that evolution and other scientific findings "are so well supported that they count as facts".[23][24]

Q: Oracle Update and select in a single query I'm working with a vendor's database, and I need to increment a value and return it. I have the right command, it updates the table, but the output in oracle developer just says "PL/SQL procedure successfully completed." How do I return NewReceiptNumber?
DECLARE
   NewReceiptNumber int;
BEGIN
    UPDATE SYSCODES
    SET (VAR_VALUE) = VAR_VALUE+1
    WHERE VAR_NAME='LAST_RCPT'
    RETURNING VAR_VALUE INTO NewReceiptNumber;
END;

A: You are just depicting an anonymous block there, to VIEW the value of NewReceiptNumber in that code you'll have to use:
dbms_output.put_line(NewReceiptNumber).
as in:
DECLARE
   NewReceiptNumber int;
BEGIN
    UPDATE SYSCODES
    SET (VAR_VALUE) = VAR_VALUE+1
    WHERE VAR_NAME='LAST_RCPT'
    RETURNING VAR_VALUE INTO NewReceiptNumber;

    dbms_output.put_line(NewReceiptNumber);
END;

But if your intention is to actually return this value to another procedure or a call from your front-end, you'll have to declare a stored procedure and within that declaration indicate your output parameter, something like:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE my_proc(newreceiptnumber out INT) AS
BEGIN
    UPDATE syscodes
    SET (var_value) = var_value+1
    WHERE var_name='LAST_RCPT'
    RETURNING var_value INTO newreceiptnumber;
END my_proc;

And of course it'll be a more robust solution if you send your updated values as parameters as well, this is just the minimal approach.

The Third Big Indicator To Watch in 2020 — Trump's Strategy
For these first days of the new year, I've hit the ground running on the 2020 general election. Though I'll return to the Democratic Primary on Monday, this week I've been identifying the Big Indicators we'll be watching for the next ten months as we try to evaluate the general election horse race. So far, they are:
President Trump's approval rating
The Electoral Map
Both of the above will be affected by this third Big Indicator…
3. President Trump's campaign strategy
Recent history has taught us that incumbent presidents go into their re-elections at the advantage. President Trump is aiming to be our fourth consecutive two-term president. In fact, since Herbert Hoover's 1932 re-election loss at the height of the Great Depression, only two presidents have served a complete first term but lost re-election.[1]
The incumbency advantage is well-documented, but among the greatest of these advantage is its straightforward playbook: the incumbent president can A) brag about his or her accomplishments and B) tear down whichever opponent emerges from a frequently bruising primary, a primary that usually highlights said opponent's weaknesses.
For some time now, President Trump has telegraphed how his 2020 strategy gibes with this playbook. It's a simple, two-pronged approach that is predictable, understandable, and historically effective.
Prong #1: Highlight the President's accomplishments, especially economic ones
Though the President loves to read down a laundry list of his accomplishments every week or so (or perhaps in a six-page single-spaced letter to the Speaker of the House that does not all make him sound like a crazy person), none are as salient as the strong American economy. Democrats may try to spin some yarn about how the economy isn't as strong as we think — indeed, in the last Democratic debate, front-runners Biden, Sanders, and Warren each took turns criticizing some of its imperfections — but the American people are generally with Trump on this one. We have incredibly low unemployment, a stock market that keeps hitting record highs, and nearly unprecedented consumer and business confidence. Though a debate can be had about whether the Obama economy put America on "third base" before Trump scored with this economic success, Democrats will have a hard time convincing Americans that Trump has been bad for the American economic engine.
The President knows that, and, barring an economic downturn liberal media have been predicting for his entire administration but never seems to get here, we'll hear about it every day for the entire general election.
But that's not all we'll hear about…
Prong #2. Demonize the Democrat.
If you're one who enjoys drinking games, health complications, and premature death, take a shot every time our President says or tweets the words "Radical Left." You'll be inebriated between now and Election Day, if your liver makes it that far.
According to Real Clear Politics's average of presidential approval polls, President Trump has not had an average approval rating of more than 46% for his entire presidency. (And that 46% happened on February 4 of his first year, about two weeks into the job.)
This past year has been a particularly stable period for his approval as he bounces like a bowling ball between 42 and 45 percent bumpers. Most polls suggest equally consistent but much stronger disapproval, including numbers around 50% that say they've ruled out voting for him in 2020. It's therefore a decent bet that he will not reach the 48% support that, historically, has been needed by presidential candidates to earn the win. (As noted on Wednesday, Trump 2016 was the only nominee to win a two-candidate race — defined by no third candidate winning double-digit support — with less than 47.5% of the vote. I think it's likely that his 46.1% win was the exception, not the new rule.)
But that doesn't mean he can't win. Though re-elections can be seen as a referendum on the incumbent, they still come down to popularity contests against the opponent. As we saw in 2016, neither nominee was particularly popular — in fact, they were the two least popular presidential nominees in polling history — but the ones who didn't like either candidate tipped heavily toward Trump. Considering his high unfavorables, it'll be critical to make the Democratic nominee unpopular again, no matter who it is. Indeed, polling suggests that even when his approval is in the low 40s, his head-to-head number against specific Democrats is higher in the very same sample of respondents. In other words — and this is really important — there are voters who don't "approve" of the president but prefer him to certain Democrats anyway.
As an example, let's look at the most recent head-to-head polling available. On Tuesday, Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy released polls from two important battleground states: Florida (won by Trump in 2016) and Virginia (won by Hillary Clinton). In Florida, Trump was given a 46% approval rating. In Virginia, he earned a 45.
But look what happens when the same respondents are given the choice between Trump and one of the four leading Democrats:
In Florida, where Trump had 46% approval, we see that he'd win between 49 and 51% against three of the Democratic candidates. In Virginia, where he had 45% approval, he earned between 47 and 51% against the same three.
Now, this is just a snapshot. There are other polls of other states taken at other times –if a candidate has a hot January they'd look a lot better in polls like these by February — but Election Day is just a snapshot, too. The point remains: Trump's approval is important, but how he looks compared to his opponent can be more significant, particularly in a close election.
So what we've seen is the President lump all Democrats into the "Radical Left" camp; considering how the least Left candidate of the four — Joe Biden — polls against him, that's understandable. It's not exactly fair, of course. Republicans aren't a monolithic block of officials and voters, and Democrats, too, have a range of ideologies from moderate to democratic-socialist. Recall how Trump tried to hold up the controversial (and, it has to be said, fully minority) "Squad" as the personification of the entire party, despite the Squad not at all being representative of Congressional Democrats, including fellow freshmen who mostly won office by being relatively moderate in formerly Republican districts. It's dishonest, but that's politics for you.
Of course, it's this kind of ranting, tweeting, and insulting of fellow Americans, alive and dead, that rub many voters the wrong way, even members of his own party. With this strong economy and no new wars, it feels like re-election should be a lot easier for him. It's almost as if one more prong would seal it…
Optional Prong #3: Impulse control
Expectations for his behavior are so low at this point that any even barely acceptable demeanor, just something remotely presidential with how he behaves himself, should do wonders for his re-election chance. If he could just pull himself together for, say, the four months from the convention to the election, he could earn himself four more years in the White House.
Though some will say Trump isn't Trump unless he behaves like the caricature of a petulant trust-fund baby grown into a boorish and cretinous charlatan, I'd like to think it would only help his re-election chances, to say nothing of the reputation of the presidency and country, if he matures a bit. But that's just me.
Anyway, his strategy is pretty obvious. What's less clear is the Democratic strategy. How do they go about trying to evict President Trump from the White House? For that, check back tomorrow.
[1]The exceptions: Jimmy Carter in 1980 and George H.W. Bush in 1992. The only other incumbent to stand for re-election and lose was Gerald Ford in 1976, but he had a Nixon-shaped albatross around his neck after finishing the former President's scandalous second term.

Consider the following scenario. You have an Excel 97-2003 workbook (.xls) that contains formulas that use functions from the Analysis Tookpak. You opened the workbook in Microsoft Office Excel 2003, Microsoft Office Excel 2007 or Microsoft Excel 2010. The formulas that contained Analysis Toolpak functions in the workbook are replaced with "=#N/A!" however the values display normally until a full recalculation occurs. Once a full recalculation occurs, the values are replaced with #N/A! In addition, formulas that reference those values will also display #N/A!
The original Excel 97-2003 workbook was opened in Excel 2007, saved under a different file name using the Excel 97-2003 file format, and closed. When you open the new Excel 97-2003 workbook in Excel 2003, Excel 2007 or Excel 2010, the formulas containing Analysis Toolpak functions are replaced with "=#N/A!". This is a known issue with Excel 2007.
For example, your original workbook was named "Original.xls". When you saved it in Excel 2007, you gave the workbook a new name, "NewCopy.xls". When you open "NewCopy.xls" in Excel 2003, Excel 2007, or Excel 2010, the issue occurs. Opening "Original.xls" in Excel 2007 and saving the file with it's original name does not cause the issue.
You must install the Excel 2007 hotfix described in KB 973932 to prevent future Excel 97- 2003 workbooks from being damaged when they are opened or saved in Excel 2007.
To ensure you have properly installed the hotfix, perform the following steps.
1. Locate Excel.exe and Excelcnv.exe in your \Program Files\Microsoft Office\12.0 folder.
2. Right-click on each file and select Properties.
3. On the Details tab, check the Fileversion.
If the version of either file is before 12.0.6514.5002, you do not have the hotfix installed.
If you have a damaged workbook, you will need to recreate the formulas using the Analysis Toolpak functions. Since the issue occurs when you save the file to a new name, you may be able to go back to the original workbook to obtain the proper formulas.

Dominican Republic (Santo Domingo)
The Taino - indigenous inhabitants of Hispaniola prior to the arrival of the Europeans - divided the island into five chiefdoms and territories. Christopher COLUMBUS explored and claimed the island on his first voyage in 1492; it became a springboard for Spanish conquest of the Caribbean and the American mainland. In 1697, Spain recognized French dominion over the western third of the island, which in 1804 became Haiti. The remainder of the island, by then known as Santo Domingo, sought to gain its own independence in 1821 but was conquered and ruled by the Haitians for 22 years; it finally attained independence as the Dominican Republic in 1844. In 1861, the Dominicans voluntarily returned to the Spanish Empire, but two years later they launched a war that restored independence in 1865. A legacy of unsettled, mostly non-representative rule followed, capped by the dictatorship of Rafael Leonidas TRUJILLO from 1930 to 1961. Juan BOSCH was elected president in 1962 but was deposed in a military coup in 1963. In 1965, the United States led an intervention in the midst of a civil war sparked by an uprising to restore BOSCH. In 1966, Joaquin BALAGUER defeated BOSCH in an election to become president. BALAGUER maintained a tight grip on power for most of the next 30 years when international reaction to flawed elections forced him to curtail his term in 1996. Since then, regular competitive elections have been held in which opposition candidates have won the presidency. Former President Leonel FERNANDEZ Reyna (first term 1996-2000) won election to a new term in 2004 following a constitutional amendment allowing presidents to serve more than one term, and was since reelected to a second consecutive term.
Economy - overview
The Dominican Republic has long been viewed primarily as an exporter of sugar, coffee, and tobacco, but in recent years the service sector has overtaken agriculture as the economy's largest employer, due to growth in telecommunications, tourism, and free trade zones. The economy is highly dependent upon the US, the destination for more than half of exports. Remittances from the US amount to about a 10th of GDP, equivalent to almost half of exports and three-quarters of tourism receipts. The country suffers from marked income inequality; the poorest half of the population receives less than one-fifth of GDP, while the richest 10% enjoys nearly 40% of GDP. High unemployment and underemployment remains an important long-term challenge. The Central America-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) came into force in March 2007, boosting investment and exports and reducing losses to the Asian garment industry. The growth of the Dominican Republic's economy rebounded in 2010-11 from the global recession, and remains one of the fastest growing in the region.

Update: After at least five hours of downtime, the Apex Legends server outage on PC finally seems to be resolving. I was able to succesfully load into the main menu (after being trapped at the initial load screen) and Respawn Entertainment says that should be the case for more and more players.
Original story: It isn't just you, Apex Legends servers are down on PC. The outage has been ongoing since at least 5 am PST / 8 am EST / 1 pm GMT, stranding PC players in an eternal loading screen before they can access the hot new battle royale game from Respawn Entertainment. Fate is being especially cruel because Apex just got its first new weapon via a post-launch update, the hard-hitting and extra-adaptable Havoc energy rifle.
If you didn't have time to log in and play with Havoc yesterday (like, er, me) now all you can do is stare at the little loading spiral go 'round and 'round as you imagine what it would feel like to kit it out with your choice of Hop-Up mods. Nooooo.
Respawn is directing queries about the game's server status to the official EA Help Twitter account. This is all it's had to say about the Apex Legends PC server outage so far, which was also posted three hours ago. Maybe enjoy some Apex Legends memes for the time being?
The extended, unplanned outage is both a bummer and pretty out of character for Apex. Its first few weeks have been remarkably stable despite attracting tens of millions of players, with just a spot of downtime here and there. Its online service was especially smooth and problem-free compared to that other big online game EA's doing right now, Anthem.
At least Apex Legends' console versions are still doing fine. Maybe consider this an invitation to try things on the gamepad side if you're a PC player who also has a PS4 or Xbox One laying around. It's free-to-play so you might as well keep it installed on everything, especially while we're waiting for Apex Legends cross-play to arrive.

Sony Seeks Expedited Information On Hotz' Fellow PS3 Hackers
New court documents issued by Sony show the company attempting to extend its case regarding the recent high-level hack of the PS3 firmware past well-known defendant George "GeoHot" Hotz.
New court documents issued by Sony show the company attempting to extend its case regarding the recent high-level hack of the PS3 firmware past well-known defendant George "GeoHot" Hotz, to others who may be involved in the case. In court documents sent to hacking community site PSX-Scene.com, legal representation for Sony Computer Entertainment America "disputes whether Hotz has disclosed all relevant facts" surrounding his work on the hack. Specifically, Sony questions his contact with anonymous and thus-far unreachable members of the Fail0verflow team that was first responsible for publicizing the PS3 hack, as well as third parties hosting information on the hack. To that end, Sony is seeking expedited response to subpoenas issued to YouTube, Twitter, Google, PayPal and sites like Slashdot, Kickstarter and Github for information regarding accounts maintained by Hotz and others. In the documents, SCEA argues the faster-than-normal discovery process is necessary in part to "identify the Fail0verflow Defendants and other culpable entities so appropriate action can be taken against them for the distribution of the illegal circumvention devices." "The infringers will continue to distribute the illicit circumvention devices while SCEA must wait to be heard on its request to discover the identities and locations of those infringers," the documents continue. The new requests are the latest in a series of legal wranglings surrounding the hack, first revealed late last year, which provides a method for discovering and using the security keys that prevent the running of unauthorized code on the PS3. Last month, a California court issued a temporary restraining order against Hotz regarding distribution of information surrounding the hack. Hotz has contested that ruling and is seeking a dismissal of the case. Code-sharing site Github recently removed files regarding the hack after a DMCA takedown notice from SCEA. Hotz has previously said he did not intend the hack to be used for piracy, though Call of Duty developer Infinity Ward warns the hack has left some of its online games open to attack.
