Of yaks and dinosaurs
Doing business in the Gobi, August 2013. Left to right: Diej (of Naadam Cashmere), an old man (on the bed), Bodio, Ishee, and (if memory serves) Dash's daughter.
They say never work with children or animals.
But once I know the rules, I can't help myself: I like to break them.
Back in 2011, I began work on a national export strategy for Mongolia's exotic fibre sector.
This encompassed cashmere, of course, and also camel wool (from the two-humped type, the bactrian), and the hair that quickly became my favourite: yak, which is superior to cashmere in almost every way.
But there's one big problem with yak: in most countries where it's sourced, like Tibet, it comes only in brown, indeed in one or two shades of dark brown. Monotonous, and virtually un-dyeable, except maybe to black,
But Mongolia has a yak colour, which before I came to town, they used to call "grey." For me, discovering this shade was like spotting Lana Turner perched on a stool at the soda fountain: I knew right away I had something special on my hands, something with star power.
First, I ran the numbers, and gleaned that 100 times as much cashmere fibre is collected each year in Mongolia as grey yak fibre. Never mind that figure merely represents a low demand for yak and a high demand for cashmere — I knew I could, as it were, spin a yarn around it.
Next, I coaxed the cooperation of one or two knitwear manufacturers in Ulaanbaatar who bought into my ideas.
We changed the name from "grey yak hair," and fashioned a new pitch: "Mongolian platinum yak down: a hundred times rarer than cashmere." Immediately, they put the price up 30%.
I thought — and still think — they should have, and could have, doubled or trebled the price. Just add some theatre, I told them: you know, keep the platinum garments under lock and key, a la Peruvian vicuña, in a glass case in a separate section of the store.
Treat it like the most exalted, precious material in the universe.
Initiate a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Today, my engagement with Mongolia and its exotic animals continues in fits and starts. Nothing is easy in Mongolia. Nothing is straightforward.
Case in point: the dinosaur, the Tyrannosaurus bataar, which got up and walked out of the Gobi a few years ago; up and moved to Florida, of all places. Decided to become an illegal immigrant and a mysterious skeletal snowbird after spending X million years in the frozen steppe.
I loved the tale, and though it was widely covered, I didn't think anyone in the mainstream press had the right angle on it. So I felt I had to do the job myself. My editor at The Wall Street Journal paid me to write the story, but then spiked it — he'd hoped for more emphasis on how they were going to install the dinosaur in the former Lenin museum, but as far as I could work out, that was just a typical Mongol-style rumour; Mongolian officials say all kinds of things to the media.
As I said, nothing to do with Mongolia ever quite goes to plan.
Meanwhile, here's my article, as commissioned in late 2013 by The Wall Street Journal.
ULAANBAATAR, MONGOLIA—
It's an impressive feat of both paleontology and privateering. But how did Eric Prokopi expect to get away with it?
"They're just basically rocks," self-described commercial paleontologist and convicted fossil smuggler Mr Prokopi reportedly said of the 70-million year old, 8-foot tall skeleton of Tyrannosaurus bataar the T. Rex's Asian cousin, over which he is now in hot water (though perhaps "deep tar" is a more apt metaphor).
Presumably, however, if Mr. Prokopi truly believed those words, he wouldn't have gone to the enormous trouble of spiriting the rare dinosaur's bones out of Mongolia, via Japan and Britain, to the U.S., and then spending almost two years cleaning and articulating the them in his Florida backyard before putting his masterpiece up for auction, where it sold in May 2012 for $875,000 net of dealer's commission. (The buyer, by telephone, was Coleman Burke, a real estate developer with a genuine expertise in fossils. He fancied this one for the lobby of his New York City office, but when an injunction against the sale was enforced as the auction transpired, Mr. Burke withdrew his winning bid.)
About Mr. Prokopi's ambitious scheme, the mind reels with questions: firstly, since it is flagrantly illegal (on several grounds) to remove fossils from Mongolian territory and then bring them into the U.S. in cartons falsely labeled on customs forms as containing "reptile heads," why take the risk? Moreover, since this particular dinosaur specimen could scientifically be validated with near certainty as being of Mongolian provenance, why chance a public auction instead of doing a deal underground (a common occurrence in the international black market for fossils)? Currently awaiting sentencing, having pleaded guilty in December, Mr. Prokopi may have up to 17 years behind bars to consider these questions.
Tyrannosaurus bataar, which means "alarming lizard hero," lived in the Gobi Desert, and so far that's the only location its fossilized remains have been found. The species was discovered in 1946 by a Soviet expedition (Mongolia, while never a republic of the USSR, was effectively governed from Moscow between 1924 and 1991). The best guess is that Mr. Prokopi's specimen was unearthed after that, but details of how he found it, and what role Mongolian locals played in removing it from the ground and from the country, are still scant. It's reasonable to suspect that Mr. Prokopi had substantial local assistance, and three months before his conviction he told Paige Williams of the New Yorker, "There's details about my dealings and associations in Mongolia that I'd like to talk about, but I don't think I can."
Meanwhile, the object of Mr Prokopi's heist and handiwork is, rightly, back in Mongolia. It is on grand exhibition, along with the strange-but-true story of its repatriation. (On September 20th, the exhibition moved to Darkhan, Mongolia's second city, but when this writer saw it, it was in a purpose-built temporary hall in the main square of the capital Ulaanbaatar.) The splendid dino – with a 75% original skeleton whose missing bits have been replaced by casts, apparently fashioned out of resin by Mr, Prokopi in full accordance with professional standards – has been regaled as a hometown hero: since going on public display June 8th, "more than half a million people have seen the Baatar fossil," according to The UB Post. That's nearly 20% of Mongolia's population.
Equally charming and troubling in its nationalistic fervor, this is one of the more curious dinosaur exhibitions you'll ever see. For example, on display is the Blackberry of Robert Painter, the American lawyer who, with a judge on the other end of this selfsame phone, successfully halted the dinosaur auction in progress, paving the way for the beast's ferocious comeback.
"I'm impressed at how they've laid out the timeline in such intricate detail," said Jason Speer, an Illinois businessman visiting Mongolia to work with a cashmere company (Mongolia is the world's number two source of cashmere, after China).
Mr. Speer is referring to the fascinating paper trail of the Mongolian recovery of "their" dinosaur that lines the exhibit's walls. It started with a stroke of luck: Bolor Minjin, a Mongolian paleontologist working in America, caught wind of the impending auction: "I happened to overhear a news broadcast" only three days beforehand, she relates in her official report, all five pages of which are laid out under glass. The T. bataar specimen had obviously been dug up within her country's borders, so "I emailed [an] advisor to the president of Mongolia." The roughly year long intervention, fully documented in the exhibition, concluded with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security repossessing the restored and disassembled skeleton and crating it off to Mongolia in May 2013.
Tellingly, Homeland Security's "Custody receipt for seized property and evidence" contains the only mention of Eric Prokopi in the whole exhibition. For the Mongolians, it seems Mr. Prokopi barely figures in the story.
Gregg Mikolasek, an environmental surveyor living and working in Mongolia, said that although "I was really happy I got to see this dinosaur," the gloating tone of the exhibition is misplaced in light of the full context of circumstances. "Despite his improprieties, [Mr. Prokopi] truly did an amazing job preserving this piece of natural history. Odds are if this guy hadn't done that, this treasure would have been lost."
Expert opinion lends credence to this view. Philip Currie, president of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, veteran explorer of Mongolian digs, and outspoken participant in Mongolia's campaign to recover the dinosaur, admitted in New Scientist magazine a month after the auction: "By the end of [2011's] field sessions, I had identified 89 quarries [in the Gobi] from which [T. bataar] skeletons had been extracted: fewer than a third of them had been collected by legitimate expeditions."
Nonetheless, if Mongolians are at all embarrassed by the fact that a priceless and ancient 24-foot lizard walked out on them, they're too busy enjoying his homecoming to show it.

Microsoft Office vs Apple iWork vs Google Docs: which is best?
Is Microsoft Office still king of the office?
Microsoft is in the process of dramatically increasing the functionality of Office 365, adding additional security and storage space. Google Docs has become one of the go-to web-based services for writing, creating a slideshow and so on, with no subscription or specific operating system needed.
For many years Apple has been seen as a company for those who are "creative", offering top of the range creative software such as Final Cut and Sound Track. As businesses became more interested in Apple's technology – mainly because of the iPad – the company has had to up its game in terms of office software, improving the iWork suite through a serious of both visual and functional updates.
Unlike Apple, Microsoft has never had the problem of being the underdog in terms of businesses using its software and hardware. An increasing amount of Microsoft's revenue comes from enterprise, with over one billion people using Office. That hasn't stopped the company from innovating, adding new visual and functional changes over the years. In 2014, Microsoft brought Office to the iPad, again increasing the reach and usage of the software.
Google's offering, Google Docs, came about after the firm's success with email. The software is, like all things Google, free to use and relies on a network connection (unless you run the Chrome browser, in which case you can set it up for offline access, albeit with some important features missing such as spell checking, for example).
Google recently introduced the Chromebook, opening up manufacturing to various OEMs just as it did with Android. While some may see the need for an internet connection to be a flaw, it's not so much of an issue with the prevalence of Wi-Fi these days, and faster mobile connections (4G LTE) becoming more and more commonplace, especially in and around cities.
But which of these services is the best? All three of the big companies have stepped up their game, meaning that the differences are becoming more and more difficult to see – but don't be fooled, they are still present. In this article, we're presenting our opinion on who wins and who loses this particular battle.
First off, on the basis of the usability of each service, the three are too close to call. Apple and Microsoft's solutions work fully offline, whereas the same can't be said for Google's, and that is perhaps the one major difference between them all for the everyday user – with the stress on everyday. If you need to write five hundred words quickly or create a slideshow, all three options will work quickly and effectively.
The biggest advantage of Apple's solution, iWork, is that it ties in so well with its other apps and services. iCloud provides constant syncing between the OS X and iOS versions of iWork, which includes Pages, Keynote and Numbers.
The integration also extends to Apple TV, a device that is becoming more and more popular in both homes and the workplace. "Beaming" slides and the whole screen via AirPlay could set Apple's hardware and software apart, especially when the competition has no comparable service.
iCloud's ability to sync between devices means that projects can be started on the go and finished in the office, all without losing a single bullet point. Apple offers a tiered data storage system which boasts up to 200GB of storage for customers at significantly cheaper prices than Dropbox and Google Drive.

Q: Unable to load Atom ''find_element" I have recently installed PhantomJS and encountered this error on my first run:

This code works with Firefox webdriver but does not work with PhantomJS. I get the following error:

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Error - Unable to load Atom 'find_element' from file ':/ghostdriver/./third_party/webdriver-atoms/find_element.js'

A: For me it start to work after
apt install nodejs-legacy # just an alias node/nodejs to make npm install work
apt purge phantomjs       # optionaly
npm install -g phantomjs  # most important part because apt installation failed for me

A: The reason is that I used apt-get install Phantomjs to install it, but it seems that it is a not full-functional Phantomjs version installed by apt-get. So, download manually from the Phantomjs website and add the containing direction to the PATH environment variable.

A: These are the precise steps that worked for me:

*

*Purge old phantomjs
apt purge phantomjs

*Wget the latest phantomjs (as per http://phantomjs.org/download.html)
wget https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

*Untar it
tar xvjf phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

*Moved the phantomjs executable to /usr/bin/ (may need sudo)
cp phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs /usr/bin/

I voted for the motion to proceed to allow debate to continue and amendments to be offered. I will not vote for the bill as it is today. It's a shell of a bill right now… If this process ends in failure, which seems likely, then let's return to regular order."

Background and release[edit]
In June 2006, a rumor was launched that Mylène Farmer would record a duet with an international star. Several artists were mentioned, such as Lara Fabian, Benjamin Biolay, Diam's, or Madonna, but especially Robbie Williams who had apparently declared at the 2002 NRJ Music Awards that he would like to work with her.[11] Then the name of Moby was suggested because a possible collaboration with Mylène Farmer had been mentioned in the past by Moby himself.[12] In late August, the purchase order and Moby's official website indicated that the name of the song was "Slipping Away (Crier la vie)".[13]
Produced and remixed by MHC in London, "Slipping Away (Crier la vie)" is a dance version of "Slipping Away" adds French lyrics. On his blog on September 9, 2006,[14] then in the December 16, 2006 edition of the French newspaper Le Parisien, Moby stated that Farmer came to his restaurant Teany in New York and suggested to him that they record a duet version of "Slipping Away", as she had heard the song on his best of and liked it. He explained that she wrote her lyrics in French and they worked together at a distance from each other (New York and Paris).[15][16]
The song was very regularly aired by all French radio stations,[17] including Fun Radio which aired it several times every day. As the song was very successful, new remixes were made and a second CD maxi and vinyl were released on November 15.[17]
Farmer's 2008 album Point de Suture contains another duet with Moby called "Looking for My Name", which was recorded just after "Slipping Away (Crier la vie)".[14]
Music video[edit]
On September 15, 2006, the website Yahoo! presented the video in preview and five days later, it was broadcast for the first time on the French television channels. On September 23, a TV promo campaign began and the video was aired every hour on the day of the single's release on Europe 2 TV.[18] The video, directed by Hugo Ramirez and available on a track of the CD maxi, is almost the same as that of the original version and is composed of a series of photos representing various events in the United States during the 20th century, plus some new photos (Moby and Farmer when they were babies).[17] The song's lyrics are written in these images.[13]
Live performances[edit]
The song was performed for the first time on the Timeless Tour in 2013, including a virtual duet with Moby.
Chart performance[edit]
The single debuted at number one on the French SNEP Singles Chart on September 30, with 26,019 units. The single remained for 11 weeks in the top ten, 22 weeks in the top 50 and 37 weeks in the top 100. It became Moby's first number one in France and Farmer's fourth, after "Pourvu qu'elles soient douces", "Désenchantée", and "XXL". It was also the single with longest chart trajectory in France for both artists.[19] The song also peaked at number one on French Digital Download Chart[20] and performed well on various airplay charts. On the 2006 Annual Charts, the song ranked at number 22 (physical sales)[21] and number 51 (digital download).[22]
The song was heavily aired on radio: it peaked at number two on the French Airplay Chart, number three on the Power 70 Airplay Chart, number two on the television Airplay Chart, and number 29 on the Club Chart.[23]

South Ossetia's President concludes his visit to Syria: Enhance aspects of cooperation with Damascus
President of South Ossetia Anatoly Bibilov concluded his three-day visit to Syria on Wednesday.
During his visit, Bibilov met senior Syrian officials and discussed with them the prospects of developing relations between the two friendly countries in all fields.
In a morning visit, President Bibilov and the accompanying delegation visited the People's Assembly and discussed with its Speaker Hammoudeh Sabbagh ways to strengthen parliamentary relations between the two friendly countries.
During the meeting, Bibilov affirmed that his country will work to enhance aspects of cooperation, especially the political, economic and parliamentary with Syria, which represents the heart of civilization in the world and everyone should do everything in his power to preserve the Syrian cultural values instead of working to destroy them.
In turn, Speaker Sabbagh stressed that the Syrian people will not forget the support provided by the friendly countries and allies and the honorable positions of the Republic of South Ossetia to support Syria, indicating the importance of developing parliamentary cooperation between the two countries.
In the same context, Bibilov discussed with Prime Minister Imad Khamis the prospects of economic, cultural, technical and scientific cooperation between the two countries and ways of developing it to serve the aspirations of peoples of the two countries.
The president of South Ossetia explained the economic and investment situation in his country and expressed his confidence that cooperation between the two sides will bear fruitful results for the benefit of the two friendly peoples. He also praised Syria's steadfastness and its ability to overcome the terrorist war against it and restore peace and security.
Khamis, in turn, hoped that the bilateral talks between the two countries will result in a long-term vision for cooperation at the economic level and to take effective steps in this field.
The two sides signed two cooperation agreements to establish a joint governmental committee for economic, trade, scientific, technical and cultural cooperation and to facilitate and develop trade and economic cooperation between the two countries.
In Dama Rose Hotel, the South Ossetia's senior delegation met with head and members of Damascus Chamber of Industry.
The meeting dealt with the mechanisms of joint commerce and economic cooperation.
For his part, Biblov said that his country will offer its expertise in the banking and agricultural fields and is keen to benefit from the experience of Syrian businessmen and their skills in delivering their products to various international markets.

A: I think if you change

to
<Dialog open={this.state.openDialog && this.state.justClicked === _id} className="open-dialog">

It should work.
Currently it's displaying every modal when openDialog is true. You just can't see it as they are layered on the screen.

How Distributed Power Production and Storage Is Changing
We are witnessing a new paradigm in energy production and usage akin to the transition from gas lamps and candles to electric lightbulbs and public utilities. In the late 1800's building owners installed coal-powered dynamos in basements to provide electricity to the tenants above. Tomorrow, solar power panels on rooftops will provide power for the people below. Two technologies are coalescing to lead to this outcome: advanced battery storage and solar power production. "A distributed energy future is coming."
Ramez Naam, computer scientist, futurist, and award-winning author, wrote in April, 2015, "Storage of electricity in large quantities is reaching an inflection point, poised to give a big boost to renewables, to disrupt business models across the electrical industry, and to tap into a market that will eventually top many of tens of billions of dollars per year, and trillions of dollars cumulatively over the coming decades…going from being a novelty, to being suddenly economically extremely sensible. That, in turn, is kicking off a virtuous cycle of new markets opening, new scale, further declining costs, and additional markets opening."
"Batteries serve as the connecting piece between multiple energy generation sources…Home batteries can recharge nightly during the lowest-demand, lowest-price periods. Then, during the day, a home might run solely from battery power and rooftop solar. If there is an excess of energy available on the battery, the homeowner might even sell some energy back to the grid. The homeowner's electric vehicle (battery on wheels) also charges overnight, and could sell some excess energy back onto the grid during peak energy usage periods while plugged in at the office," said Jeremy Welch, cofounder @WeChrg.
In February of 2015, Bloomberg reported on Tesla's plans for home batteries, stating, "Combining solar panels with large, efficient batteries could allow some homeowners to avoid buying electricity from utilities." That doesn't necessarily mean being "off the grid". There are currently advantages and disadvantages to being on and off the grid.
If your home is still connected to utilities, you are eligible for payment for any energy your home provides back to the grid, but when there is a power outage, your solar panels no longer feed your house. This is to protect line workers who may get shocked from your solar panels backflowing into the lines. However, if you have home batteries those will still work.
Overall I see the trend going toward more solar and less fossil-fuels. The problem with big power plants is that a third of the energy is lost in transmission, but part of the reason we need transmission is because we don't have good capacitors/batteries. By creating storage capacity at home, we can get power from a variety of sources and be less dependent on just one.
This is one possible scenario: each home/business/car becomes a node like a host on a network. Power can be created and shared between nodes at a metered rate. Cars with solar panels might bring home power to add to their home when they get home. Houses soaking up solar all day might feed their car when they get home. Those still connected to a power company can share out unused power.
"Battery storage and next-generation compressed air are right on the edge of the prices where it becomes profitable to arbitrage shifting electricity prices – filling up batteries with cheap power (from night time sources, abundant wind or solar, or other), and using that stored energy rather than peak priced electricity from natural gas peakers.This arbitrage can happen at either the grid edge (the home or business) or as part of the grid itself. Either way, it taps into a market of potentially 100s of thousands of MWh in the US alone," said Ramez Naam.
But how expensive will home batteries be? "A widely reported study at Nature Climate Change finds that, since 2005, electric vehicle battery costs have plunged faster than almost anyone projected, and are now below most forecasts for the year 2020…It's now in the realm of possibility that we'll see $100 / kwh lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles by 2020, with some speculating that Tesla's 'gigafactory' will push into sufficient scale to achieve that."
In Western Australia there are a lot of sunny days, so domestic rooftop solar systems are very commonplace now. In California, companies like SolarCity are installing solar panels and guaranteeing you'll pay less to them than to your electricity provider.
What utility companies fear is that there will be a tipping point where they the amount of people using solar panels during peak periods will begin to seriously impact their ability to be profitable. As more people go solar, the cost of non-solar is spread amongst the remaining non-solar users and therefore the price goes up. This will only accelerate the move to solar and exacerbate the problem.
It's likely power utilities will get in the solar installation business, mimicking SolarCity's model, and figure out the protocols for how cellular power networks are going to work in the future. That's likely why they have invested (or attempted to invest) in 'smart meters' that can send power back and forth, turn appliances off/on, and monitor electricity usage inside the home/business better. This will enable the sharing of electricity between units in a power network more efficiently.
However, solar has it's drawbacks in extreme situations such as during a fire. Solar panels can be a hazard to firefighting operations because the sun doesn't have a 'disconnect'. A collapsed roof may bring a tangle of live electrical parts down into the building and create a hazard that persists long after the fire has been suppressed. For example, when disconnected solar panels are 'open circuit' the voltages will rise very rapidly. You can actually arc-weld with two fully illuminated 48V panels in parallel.

[Updated] Main Street Loan Programs – Terms and Loan Comparison Chart
May 5, 2020By Paren Knadjian
[Updated] Main Street Loan Programs – Terms and Loan Comparison ChartParen Knadjian2020-05-05T09:31:14-07:00
On April 30th, 2020, the Federal Reserve Board announced it is expanding the scope and eligibility for the Main Street Lending Program previously announced on April 9th. As part of its broad effort to support the economy, the Federal Reserve developed the Main Street Lending Program to help credit flow to small and medium-sized businesses that were in sound financial condition before the pandemic. When the initial terms of the Program were announced, the Board indicated that, because the financial needs of businesses vary widely, it was seeking feedback from the public on potential refinements. More than 2,200 letters from individuals, businesses, and nonprofits were received. In response to the public input, the Board decided to expand the loan options available to businesses and increased the maximum size of businesses that are eligible for support under the Program. The changes include:
Creating a third loan option, with increased risk sharing by lenders for borrowers with greater leverage;
Lowering the minimum loan size for certain loans to $500,000; and
Expanding the pool of businesses eligible to borrow
Additionally, businesses with up to 15,000 employees or up to $5 billion in annual revenue are now eligible, compared to the initial program terms, which were for companies with up to 10,000 employees and $2.5 billion in revenue. The minimum loan size for two of the options was also lowered to $500,000 from $1 million. With these changes, the Program will now offer more options to a wider set of eligible small and medium-sized businesses. The combined size of government funding for the Program will be up to $600 billion.
Like the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and the Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility (PMCCF), the Main Street Facilities were created to assist companies that have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Each of these programs, however, was developed to provide liquidity to companies of different sizes:
PPP – The PPP was established by the CARES Act and implemented by the Small Business Administration (SBA) to support the payroll and operations of small businesses through the issuance of government-guaranteed loans that include a forgiveness feature for borrowers that satisfy the requirements of the PPP.
Main Street Loan Program – The Federal Reserve designed Main Street to support small and medium-sized businesses that were unable to access the PPP or that require additional financial support after receiving a PPP loan. Main Street loans are not forgivable.
PMCCF – The Federal Reserve established the PMCCF to support large companies through the purchase of eligible corporate bonds from, and lending through syndicated loans to, large companies. PMCCF loans are not forgivable.
Below is a comparison of the three types of Main Street Loan Facilities:
Main Street New Loan Facility (MSNLF)
Main Street Priority Loan Facility (MSPLF)
Main Street Expanded Loan Facility (MSELF)
Who are the lenders?
Eligible Lenders can be any of:
A U.S. federally insured depository institution (including a bank, savings association, or credit union)
A U.S. branch or agency of a foreign bank
A U.S. bank holding company
A U.S. savings and loan holding company
A U.S. intermediate holding company of a foreign banking organization, or a U.S. subsidiary of any of the foregoing
Who is an eligible borrower?
An Eligible Borrower is a Business that:
Was established prior to March 13, 2020, and
Meets at least one of the following two conditions: (i) has 15,000 employees or fewer, or (ii) had 2019 annual revenues of $5 billion or less
Is created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States with significant operations in and a majority of its employees based in the United States, and
Does not also participate in more than one of the MSNLF, the MSPLF, the MSELF, or the PMCCF, and
Has not received specific support pursuant to the CARES Act of 2020. For the avoidance of doubt, Businesses that have received PPP loans are permitted to borrow under the Main Street Loan Facility
What is the definition of a Business?
For the purposes of the Facility, a Business is an entity that is organized for profit as a partnership; a limited liability company; a corporation; an association; a trust; a cooperative; a joint venture with no more than 49 percent participation by foreign business entities; or a tribal business concern as defined in 15 U.S.C. § 657a(b)(2)(C)
Other forms of organizations may be considered for inclusion as a Business under the Facility at the discretion of the Federal Reserve
Ineligible Businesses include Businesses listed in 13 CFR 120.110(b)-(j), (m)-(s) (see Note 4 below), as modified and clarified by SBA regulations for purposes of the PPP on or before April 24, 2020. Such modifications and clarifications include the SBA's recent interim final rules. The Federal Reserve may further modify the application of these restrictions to Main Street.
What are the terms of the loans?
New secured or unsecured loan
Originated after April 24, 2020
4-year maturity
Adjustable interest rate of LIBOR (1 or 3 month) plus 300 basis points (LIBOR plus 3 %)
An origination fee of up to 100 basis points (1%) of the principal amount of the Eligible Loan at the time of origination
Upsizing existing secured or unsecured term loan or revolving credit facility
Originated on or before April 24, 2020, and that has a remaining maturity of at least 18 months (taking into account any adjustments made to the maturity of the loan after April 24, 2020, including at the time of upsizing), provided that the upsized tranche of the loan is a term loan that has all of the following features:
An origination fee of up to 75 basis points (0.75%) of the principal amount of the upsized tranche of the Eligible Loan at the time of upsizing
Principal and interest payments deferred for one year (unpaid interest will be capitalized)
Prepayment permitted without penalty
If the Eligible Borrower had other loans outstanding with the Eligible Lender as of December 31, 2019, such loans must have had an internal risk rating equivalent to a "pass" in the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council's supervisory rating system on that date
Eligible Lenders are expected to conduct an assessment of each potential borrower's financial condition at the time of the potential borrower's application
Minimum loan size of $500,000
Maximum loan size that is the lesser of (i) $25 million or (ii) an amount that, when added to the Eligible Borrower's existing outstanding and undrawn available debt, does not exceed four times the Eligible Borrower's adjusted 2019 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") – see Note 1 below
Principal amortization of one-third at the end of the second year, one-third at the end of the third year, and one-third at maturity at the end of the fourth year
The Eligible Loan must not be, at the time of origination or at any time during the term of the Eligible Loan, contractually subordinated in terms of priority to any of the Eligible Borrower's other loans or debt instruments. This means that an MSNLF Loan may not be junior in priority in bankruptcy to the Eligible Borrower's other unsecured loans or debt instruments. However, there is otherwise no prohibition against the MSNLF loan being actually or structurally subordinated to senior debt, or for that matter, any requirement that the loan be secured at all
Maximum loan size that is the lesser of (i) $25 million or (ii) an amount that, when added to the Eligible Borrower's existing outstanding and undrawn available debt, does not exceed six times the Eligible Borrower's adjusted 2019 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") – see Note 1 below
Principal amortization of 15% at the end of the second year, 15% at the end of the third year, and a balloon payment of 70% at maturity at the end of the fourth year
At the time of origination and at all times thereafter, the Eligible Loan must be senior to or pari passu (i.e. on the same terms) with, in terms of priority and security, the Eligible Borrower's other loans or debt instruments, other than mortgage debt
Eligible Borrowers may, at the time of origination of the loan, refinance existing debt owed by the Eligible Borrower to a lender that is not the Eligible Lender
Minimum loan size of $10 million
Maximum loan size that is the lesser of (i) $200 million, (ii) 35% of the Eligible Borrower's existing outstanding and undrawn available debt that is pari passu (i.e. on the same terms) in priority with the Eligible Loan and equivalent in secured status (i.e., secured or unsecured), or (iii) an amount that, when added to the Eligible Borrower's existing outstanding and undrawn available debt, does not exceed six times the Eligible Borrower's adjusted 2019 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA");") – see Note 1 below
At the time of upsizing and at all times the upsized tranche is outstanding, the upsized tranche is senior to or pari passu (i.e. on the same terms) with, in terms of priority and security, the Eligible Borrower's other loans or debt instruments, other than mortgage debt
What are the additional terms and restrictions?
Each Eligible Borrower that participates in the Facility should make commercially reasonable efforts to maintain its payroll and retain its employees during the time the Eligible Loan is outstanding
The Eligible Borrower must commit to refrain from repaying the principal balance of, or paying any interest on, any debt until the Eligible Loan or upsized tranche of the Eligible Loan is repaid in full, unless the debt or interest payment is mandatory and due
The Eligible Borrower must commit that it will not seek to cancel or reduce any of its committed lines of credit with the Eligible Lender or any other lender
The Eligible Borrower must certify that it has a reasonable basis to believe that, as of the date of origination of the Eligible Loan and after giving effect to such loan, it has the ability to meet its financial obligations for at least the next 90 days and does not expect to file for bankruptcy during that time period
The Eligible Borrower must commit that it will follow compensation, stock repurchase, and capital distribution restrictions that apply to direct loan programs under section 4003(c)(3)(A)(ii) of the CARES Act (see Note 2 below), except that an S corporation or other tax pass-through entity that is an Eligible Borrower may make distributions to the extent reasonably required to cover its owners' tax obligations in respect of the entity's earnings
The Eligible Borrower must certify that it is eligible to participate in the Facility, including the conflicts of interest prohibition in section 4019(b) of the CARES Act (see Note 3 below)
How are these loans funded?
The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston will lend to a single purpose vehicle (SPV) in which the Treasury Department will make a $75 billion equity investment with funds from the CARES Act
The SPV will purchase, at par value, a 95% participation in the Eligible Loan
The SPV and the Eligible Lender will share risk in the Eligible Loan on a pari passu basis (i.e. on the same terms)
The Eligible Lender must retain its 5% of the Eligible Loan until it matures or the SPV sells all of its participation, whichever comes first
The Eligible Lender must retain its 15% of the Eligible Loan until it matures or the SPV sells all of its participation, whichever comes first
The SPV will purchase at par value a 95% participation in the upsized tranche of the Eligible Loan, provided that it is upsized on or after April 24, 2020
The SPV and the Eligible Lender will share risk in the upsized tranche on a pari passu basis (i.e. on the same terms)
The Eligible Lender must be one of the lenders that holds an interest in the underlying Eligible Loan at the date of upsizing
The Eligible Lender must also retain its interest in the underlying Eligible Loan until the underlying Eligible Loan matures, the upsized tranche of the Eligible Loan matures, or the SPV sells all of its 95% participation, whichever comes first
Any collateral securing the Eligible Loan (at the time of upsizing or on any subsequent date) must secure the upsized tranche on a pro rata basis
The sale of a participation in the Eligible Loan to the SPV will be structured as a "true sale" and must be completed expeditiously after the Eligible Loan's origination
The SPV will cease purchasing participations in Eligible Loans on September 30, 2020, unless the Board and the Department of the Treasury extend the Facility
The Reserve Bank will continue to fund the SPV after such date until the SPV's underlying assets mature or are sold
How do these affect other government back loans I received or have applied for?
Borrowers may only participate in one of the Main Street facilities (MSNLF, MSPLF, or MSELF) and may not also participate in the PMCCF
However, borrowers who have applied for or received a PPP loan are eligible for one of the MSNLF, MSPLF or MSELF
Is there a loan forgiveness program?
Federal Reserve is currently working to create the infrastructure necessary to operationalize the program. More information will be posted here as it becomes available regarding Program terms and how Eligible Lenders can sell Eligible Loan participations to the SPV. Once the program is operational, small and medium-sized businesses interested in the program should seek to apply for Program loans from an eligible lender.
How does this affect my current debt?
We recommend you review your current debt and determine whether any amendments are required to permit new debt and the subordination of payments. This will be easier to achieve if the MSNLF is taken through your current lender.
As the MSELF is an upsizing of current debt, terms have to be agreed with your current lender. The lender does not have to participate in the Federal Reserve buyback program for any upsizing of your current debt
Under the MSNLF and MSPLF, the methodology used by the Eligible Lender to calculate adjusted 2019 EBITDA must be the methodology it has previously used for adjusting EBITDA when extending credit to the Eligible Borrower or similarly situated borrowers on or before April 24, 2020. Under the MSELF, the methodology used by the Eligible Lender to calculate adjusted 2019 EBITDA must be the methodology it previously used for adjusting EBITDA when originating or amending the Eligible Loan on or before April 24, 2020.
Until 12 months after the loan is no longer outstanding, the borrower may not:
participate in stock buybacks
pay dividends or other capital distributions
must comply with the limitations on compensation in Section 4004 of the CARES act which limits compensation to officers and employees
Certain government and political officials and their respective families cannot participate in this program
Ineligible Businesses include:
Financial businesses primarily engaged in the business of lending, such as banks, finance companies, and factors (pawn shops, although engaged in lending, may qualify in some circumstances);
Passive businesses owned by developers and landlords that do not actively use or occupy the assets acquired or improved with the loan proceeds (except Eligible Passive Companies under § 120.111);
Life insurance companies;
Businesses located in a foreign country (businesses in the U.S. owned by aliens may qualify);
Pyramid sale distribution plans;
Businesses deriving more than one-third of gross annual revenue from legal gambling activities;

Businesses which:
Present live performances of a prurient sexual nature; or
Derive directly or indirectly more than de minimis gross revenue through the sale of products or services, or the presentation of any depictions or displays, of a prurient sexual nature;
Unless waived by SBA for good cause, businesses that have previously defaulted on a Federal loan or Federally assisted financing, resulting in the Federal government or any of its agencies or Departments sustaining a loss in any of its programs, and businesses owned or controlled by an applicant or any of its Associates which previously owned, operated, or controlled a business which defaulted on a Federal loan (or guaranteed a loan which was defaulted) and caused the Federal government or any of its agencies or Departments to sustain a loss in any of its programs.

/ Inside the Nou Camp
Inside the Nou Camp
Being inside the Nou Camp is an experience that is completely unique in football. Here is my account of the atmosphere within the home ground of FC Barcelona on match day.
Last weekend, I was lucky enough to travel to the great city of Barcelona for a four day trip. Of course, we did all the touristy stuff like visit the spectacular la Sagrada Familia and feast on traditional tapas and paella for four days solid.
But the highlight of the break came on Saturday evening at 8pm, 15 minutes from the city's centre- it was when I witnessed a Barcelona game live for the very first time. And you believe me, every football fanatic needs to experience this unique spectacle at least once.
FC Barcelona were playing Deportivo in a league fixture, coming off the back of some poor results. There was a sense of tension in the air before kick-off from the home fans- who filled the 100,000 capacity of Nou Camp with ease.
However, once the starting line-up was announced, all tensions were replaced with joy and excitement which was contagious. In stark contrast with the laid back attitude many Catalanions have during the normal day, the crowd transformed into a intense sea of chants as each Barca ace was announced.
By kick-off the militant-like chanting of "Barca, Barca, Barca!" surrounded the stadium- and you could not help but join in. It felt a bit strange being a foreigner cheering for a foreign team, but the crowd around me made it impossible not to feel like a local. The welcome tourists recieve by supporters and staff is unrivaled by anywhere else in Europe.
The price of a ticket to see the world's best team, bought the night before? 33 euros. Although we did sit with the Gods right at the top of the stadium, the Nou Camp is so massive and so packed it does not seem like you are missing out at all.
As the game drew on and Barcelona looked like scoring with every chance, the crowd went up a few notches of intensity. And by the time Sanchez scored just before half time, the stadium was resembling what I would dream a Roman colosseum to be like.
The crowd erupted with glee and relief when Sanchez headed home the opener- the stadium seemed to shake as the Barcelona supporters went ballistic.
But the biggest cheer of the night came when a certain Lionel Messi came on as a sub. Ear-blasting cheers were followed by the Argentine's name then a phrase in Spansh (which, with my limited knowledge of Spanish, I translated one word to 'God'). This god-like worship continued when Messi scored the winning goal- the crowd bowed down to him as if they were in the presence of God Almighty, himself.
The atmosphere and passion that filled the stadium, was something I had never experienced before. It was beyond football- it was as if the Barca team were representing an ideal, a race, the Catalan with every kick of the ball.
My verdict? A right of passage for every true football fan.

Agang SA would oppose fracking, the party said on Monday.
"Agang SA's plan to oppose fracking [hydraulic fracturing] is based on the growing evidence of its seriously harmful environmental effects wherever it is being done worldwide," said spokesperson Jock McConnachie.
He said the party was intending to discard its currently cautious approach on the issue by aligning its policy on fracking to that of the Treasure the Karoo Action Group (TKAG).
McConnachie said TKAG is a responsible anti-fracking lobby group that opposes fracking on "solid and convincing grounds".
"By coming out in clear opposition to fracking, we will also be in step with the growing anti-fracking movement internationally," he said.
The party claimed to be the first political party in South Africa to be against fracking.

Modern cultural movements have caused traditional gender roles to change, and a need for marketers to stop looking to stereotypes as fact. As the role of the male in a household has evolved, so has the male grocery shopper. So the question is, what are the motivations of a male shopper today when he enters the grocery store?
First Of All, Who is the Male Grocery Shopper?
Along with ways of marketing to male shoppers, it is good to be aware that a lot of men (especially millennials) enjoy cooking and expressing their creativity in the kitchen. Going grocery shopping with a companion is a way to spend time together as more distractions vie for our time. Understanding the psychology and mindset of how males shop versus females shop can be used to your advantage in boosting sales.
According to a study by a marketing student at Griffith University, over 30% of men worldwide claimed to be responsible for the weekly grocery shopping in their household. In America, shifting household dynamics has caused a significant amount of men to become the primary shoppers, a statistic that has doubled in the last 20 years.
Male consumers tend to buy less items but spend more money, which means that the average cost per item is higher.
Men visit the grocery store more frequently but spend less time in the store.
Along with men shopping differently from women, age clearly plays a role in their shopping behavior as well. Millennial males (ages 18-34) are 161% most likely to be visiting the grocery store at least four times a week, largely due to the shifting gender roles in the household. On the other side of the spectrum, men ages 55-plus only frequent the store about once a week. If they have children, it increases their likelihood to visit the grocery store more often.
Modern culture has also caused unique behavior in millennial dads. This group seems to spend more time with their kids and participate in more of the household shopping. Since this consumer segment shops at least four times per week and spends more money on specific items than women do, it implies that millennial males are looking for quality more than a good deal.
According to the Progressive Grocer Kellogg's whitepaper, the male grocery shopper is more willing to buy newer items impulsively, offering a great opportunity for retailers. Studies show that men literally walk down different aisles than women — they tend to shop in the center of the store while women walk the perimeter.
Some of men's buying triggers include seeking out innovative products and sticking with familiar brand names. Since males have traditionally made more money than women, they are less concerned with price points. Not ones to browse the store, 49% of men said they want to finish their shopping as quickly as possible and head straight for the products they need without distractions.
Put impulse items on display, especially novelty items that catch men's eyes.
Males like to think of ways to save time, so quick meal solutions should be front and center.
Remember that men go with brands they know and trust over price point, so this is an opportunity to push premium-priced products.
Promote food products that are high in protein and nutritional content that is appealing to both genders.
Men don't tend to follow the grocery list, so think about reminding shoppers to replenish their necessities via text message or social media.
With male shoppers on the rise, it's beneficial to think about how your business can capitalize from this sector. Just remember to make it as easy and convenient as possible for men to find what they're looking for and consider male-focused marketing when creating your displays.

Listen to the Rare, Uncut Recordings of the 67 Terrifying Exorcisms of Anneliese Michel
By Dana Matthews on 07/27/2016@Weird_Dana
Many of us are familiar with the sad and horrifying story of Anneliese Michel, the 24-year-old German woman who died after undergoing a grueling series of Catholic exorcisms. Anneliese's story has become that of legend, even spawning the film The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Over the years, the facts surrounding the girl's death have been at the center of many debates betweem believers and skeptics, but there's still one piece of evidence that everyone needs to hear before making up their minds: the audio tapes.
While a few low-quality recordings have been floating around on the internet in various forms, they're usually only around six minutes long. Below, you'll find the rare, uncut version of the original tape recordings of Anneliese Michel's 67 exorcisms, which clock in at around an hour and a half. While the audio is entirely in the German language, it isn't any less horrifying to listen to.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Anneliese Michel, her story is a strange and sad one. She was born in Bavaria in 1952, and during the course of her short life underwent some of the most terrible experiences imaginable. Shortly after she turned 16, she suffered a violent seizure, and was subsequently diagnosed with temporal lope epilepsy. By the early 70s, after Anneliese had suffered her third seizure, her frightened parents decided there was nothing left to do but to check their daughter into a psychiatric hospital.
In 1973, Anneliese began to experience full-blown hallucinations that doctors concluded stemmed from her deeply-held religious beliefs. These experiences ranged anywhere from hearing menacing voices telling her that she was "damned", to visual hallucinations of frightening demonic faces. Unfortunately, the hospital treatments did little improve her health or combat her visions, and Anneliese fell into a deep depression.
By the following year, Anneliese's mental state had deteriorated to the point where she was often discovered drinking her own urine and eating bugs, but it was when she appeared to be speaking languages she didn't know – with terrifying expertise -that her family began to consider the possibility that she wasn't suffering from some kind of psychological disorder, but rather a demonic possession.
She refused to walk past crucifixes, recoiled from holy water, and seemed to know deep, dark secrets about people. Her doctors, concerned about the girls emotional and physical welfare, prescribed anti-psychotic medication to treat what they believed was Anneliese's debilitating mental heath issues.
With no sign of recovery in sight, the family was put in contact with a priest named Ernst Alt who only validated their fears. Alt declared that the girl was suffering from a prolonged demonic possession, and as a result, he petitioned the Catholic church to let him give the girl an exorcism. The church denied the first request, during which the girl's behavior became dangerously alarming. She would often be discovered self-mutilating, coughing up blood, and scream a steady stream of obscenities at anyone in the immediate vicinity.
Finally, the church agreed to the exorcism, which took place on September 24, 1975. It would be the first of many. Over the course of ten months, Anneliese underwent a grand total of 67 exorcisms, each performed by Ernst Alt with help from a local pastor named Arnold Renz. Many of these sessions were recorded on tape by the Michel family.
During the series of exorcisms, the Catholic Church began to believe that Anneliese was possessed by the spirits of Cain, Judas Iscariot, Hitler, Nero, and even Lucifer himself. According to the priests, the audio recordings even captured the voices of "demons arguing" with one another.
The Michel family, believing that the exorcisms would work, stopped Anneliese's medical treatment, and her heath began to quickly deteriorate. On July 1, 1976, ten months after the exorcisms began, Anneliese Michel died from malnutrition and dehydration, weighing only 68 pounds. Near the end of her life, Anneliese would often talk about "dying to atone for the wayward youth of the day, and the apostate priests of the modern church."
Both the Michel family and the priests were charged with negligent homicide in the aftermath of the exorcisms of Anneliese Michel. During the trial, the horrifying tapes of Annaliese's exorcisms were played, with the Catholic Church's hand-picked defense lawyers intending on convincing the jury that the girl was suffering from a demonic possession, however the court was not convinced. The case of Anneliese Michel was officially labeled a misidentification of mental illness, and in the end, both priests were found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to six months in jail, though neither of them served any time.
The internet is littered with news stories, grainy cell phone footage, and even reality shows dedicated to demonic possession cases, but there's something especially disturbing about the audio recorded taken during Anneliese Michel's exorcisms. Her throaty growls sound otherworldly, and at times, its as if many voices, all screaming together at once, are coming from within her broken body. Whether or not Anneliese Michel was actually possessed is something you'll have to decide for yourself, but the audio recordings are enough to consider why the church, and her family, believed it.
