Gold prices edged higher on Friday, but was still on track to post its biggest weekly decline in about two months as solid Chinese data and a preliminary U.S.-China trade deal improved risk appetite. World shares hit record highs after data showed China's economy was stabilizing and the world's second-largest economy ended 2019 on a somewhat firmer note as the trade truce revived business confidence. Spot gold rose 0.3% to $1,556.56 per ounce, but was heading for a weekly drop of about 0.4%...
Gold futures end higher for the session, barely changed for the week
Gold futures settled higher on Friday, but barely budged for the week. "Gold has struggled to shine this week as positive economic data from the United States and China cooled concerns over the global economy," said Lukman Otunuga, senior research analyst at FXTM. "Appetite towards the metal was also bruised by the 'phase one' [U.S.-China] deal, which offered some light at the end of the long trade war tunnel. With stock markets hitting record highs and the dollar stabilizing, gold is...
Oil Near $59 as Trade Deal Hopes Jostle With Ample Supply
Oil was near $59 a barrel in New York after rising the most in almost two weeks as the U.S. and China signed a trade agreement, though remains capped by signs that supplies remain plentiful. Futures gained 0.5%, having increased 1.2% on Thursday as Washington and Beijing™s phase-one deal commits China to $52.4 billion in additional purchases of American energy over 2020 and 2021. Still, there was some skepticism about whether such as target is feasible, particularly if it leaves...
Pound Stumbles After Weaker-Than-Expected U.K. Retail Sales Data
The British pound fell Friday after data showed U.K. retail sales falling by 0.6% in December versus the previous month, adding to a picture of a weak economy that may need interest rate cuts to stimulate growth. In the three months to December 2019, sales fell 1% against the prior three months. The pound fell 0.2% to $1.3052, from a level of around $1.31 seen just ahead of the data. Source : Marketwatch
Gold prices edged higher on Friday but traded in a tight range as investors stayed on the sidelines in the absence of news catalysts. The metal, however, was on track to post its biggest weekly drop in two months, as a long awaited U.S.-China Phase 1 trade deal fueled risk appetite. Spot gold rose 0.2% to $1,555.14 per ounce by 06:02 GMT, heading for a weekly drop of 0.4% " its biggest since the week ended Nov. 8. U.S. gold futures rose 0.4% to $1,556.90. Source : CNBC
Don't go quietly into that good night: Wall Street, Main Street bullish on gold prices
Monday, 7 October 2019 13:14 WIB | GOLD CORNER |Gold OutlookGold Corner
Gold bulls are keeping the drive alive as both Wall Street analysts and Main Street investors remain firmly bullish on the yellow metal as the price has managed to regain the $1,500 level heading into the weekend, according to the latest Kitco News Weekly Gold Survey.
For many analysts, gold's ability to recoup a 2% loss at the start of the week (30/9) and regain what became a critical psychological level is a sign of strong resilience in the marketplace. Many analysts have noted that growing recession fears and financial market uncertainty continue to support gold prices in the near term.
"Everywhere investors look there is another worry," said George Gero, managing director with RBC Wealth Management. "The U.S. dollar remains the biggest headwind for gold, but this uncertainty should continue to support prices around $1,500."
Last week, 17 market professionals took part in the Wall Street survey. Twelve analysts or 71% said they see higher prices for this week. Another two, or 18%, predicted gold would fall. The remaining 2 voters, or 12%, saw a sideways market or else were neutral.
Meanwhile, 679 respondents took part in an online Main Street poll. A total of 446 voters, or 65%, called for gold to rise. Another 145, or 21%, predicted gold would fall. The remaining 88 voters, or 13%, saw a sideways market.
Wall Streets' record is now 19-16 year to date, meaning respondents have been right 54% of the time. Meanwhile, Main Street™s record fell to 18-17, meaning this group has been right 51% so far this year.
Looking ahead, although a healthy jobs report is taking some momentum away from gold prices last Friday, many analysts still expect to see higher prices as the latest employment data has not shifted expectations for another interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve later this month.
Some analysts have noted that jobs data is a lagging indicator and the disappointing ISM data released last Tuesday and Thursday paint a picture of slowing economic growth in the U.S.
"I don't think the employment data was a game changer," said Fawad Razaqzada, technical analyst at City Index. "The Federal Reserve is still going to cut rates this month and that will weaken the U.S. dollar and push gold prices higher."
Afshin Nabavi, head of trading with MKS (Switzerland) SA, said that he expects gold prices to trade nervously between support at $1,485 and resistance at $1,520; however, he added that sentiment is still more bullish and he likes buying dips rather than selling rallies.
"Financial market uncertainty around the world is not going away anytime soon and because of that more investors are looking for gold to break on the upside," he said.
Lukman Otunuga, senior research analyst at FXTM, said that he sees the path of least resistance is higher.
"As long as concerns over slowing global growth, political risk, trade uncertainty and Brexit drama among many other geopolitical risk factors stimulate risk aversion, Gold bulls will remain in the driving seat," he said.
But not all analysts are optimistic on gold, Sean Lusk, co-director of commercial hedging at Walsh trading, said that he sees gold prices pushing lower as the $1,520 level is proving to be a strong resistance barrier.
He added that he doesn't see a lot of new information coming into the marketplace that will drive prices higher.
"I think right now there are way too many longs in the marketplace and I think we could see those investors start to leave if the market can't make new highs," he said. "We really need new information to push this market higher but I don't see where that will come from."
Richard Baker, editor of the Eureka Miner Report, also said that it looks like gold needs some fresh information as he sees prices trading back around $1,500.
"Gold appears to be pausing to assess its next direction, looking at an economic outlook that is not so dire as August, but with more impetus for Federal Reserve rate cuts given weakness in key areas," he said. "I believe Comex gold will retreat to the key $1,500-level this week but avoid a retest of Tuesday's low (7/10). Any adverse change in this fragile political and geo-political environment could quickly return safe-haven demand and reignite a gold rally."

After Birdy Nam Nam in 2011 and Run For Peace in 2012, Lebanon's GameCooks just released a new puzzle/adventure packed game called "Escape From Paradise".
I downloaded it few days ago and have been playing it almost daily. It's a really fun and challenging game and there are always new obstacles to discover. The graphics are also pretty impressive and the game is very quick to load and browse. The only thing I didn't appreciate is that it asks you if you want to skip levels every time you die two times in a row.
Escape from Paradise is made up of 5 themed worlds each consisting of 30 levels. I am almost done with Le Dezex world and about to unlock the third world.


Bern, 22.01.2019 - The Swiss financial sector welcomes the principles on impact investing developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC). This is the outcome of a consultation amongst more than 100 members of the association Swiss Sustainable Finance (SSF). The results were discussed at a meeting of the partners of IFC and SECO in Bern.
Impact investing seeks a positive social and environmental return alongside a financial return. Demand for such financial services has massively increased in recent years – especially for investments in developing and emerging countries. This provides a huge opportunity for the Swiss financial market and serves as a possibility to help meet the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). However, processes and guarantees are required to ensure that such investments actually have a sustainable effect and do not just deliver empty promises.
The IFC has developed new standards with the aim to further develop and strengthen the impact investing process. SSF welcomes these standards as an important framework for transparency and credibility. Yet, for market players, it must be possible to efficiently implement the standards in order to keep the administrative burden at a reasonable level. Developments will be monitored closely in this respect and the Swiss financial sector will continue to contribute to the discussions. SSF also wishes to clarify that the new standards relate exclusively to business processes and not the assessment of any social and environmental outcomes. As a networking partner of SSF, SECO has moderated the exchange between IFC and the members of SSF.
Demand for impact investing has grown enormously in recent years, which can help contribute to meeting the UN's SDG. Today, 94 banks in 37 countries already support the "Equator Principles", which were created from a framework developed by IFC to address social and environmental risks in project finance. 80 percent of project financing in emerging countries now follows these principles.
Switzerland plays a leading role in the market for sustainable financial services. Around one third of all private development investments globally are managed in Switzerland. In the past three years, investments by Swiss players alone increased from USD 5.5 billion to USD 8 billion. As a shareholder of the World Bank, Switzerland strongly supports the introduction and continuous development of corresponding standards by IFC.
In a recently launched cooperation with IFC, SECO supports additional efforts to implement best practices in the green bond market in developing and emerging countries. SECO also aims to increase the know-how and resources in the private sector, particularly through SIFEM AG, the Swiss Investment Fund for Emerging Markets, to meet its goals for cooperation and development in the business sector.


Product Finder > Product Catalog from Bharat Floorings & Tiles (Mumbai) Pvt. Ltd.
Jamshed Mehta is remembered as the builder of modern Karachi ….. patriot, theosophist, philanthropist and mayor of that city for 13 years. He inspired Pherozesha Sidhwa, a young lawyer to abandon his articleship and start a tile manufacturing unit with his nephew Rustom Sidhwa ……and there began the Bharat Tile Company. The trade mark of the company stamped on the back of every tile was, of course, a map of India (including what are now Pakistan and Bangladesh). To the founders of Bharat Tiles, Pherozesha Sidhwa and Rustom Sidhwa, the quality of tiles produced was critical. The reasons for this went beyond aesthetics, into hard business sense- it the tiles were not as good as imported ones, nobody would buy them. In 1923, Pherozesha was dissatisfied with a batch of black and white tiles made for New Readymoney Building (Flora Fountain). So he stopped delivery and took the dramatic step of having the entire batch thrown into sea.


With the concert to look forward to in the afternoon, there was the whole morning to take in a museum and enjoy lunch on the famous Albert Docks. Having studied Apartheid recently, there was a relevance to visiting the International Museum of Slavery. Once there, we found a wealth of information about Africa and the people of Africa before exploring the very moving and tragic stories of the slave trade. The museum has a further 2 exhibitions which we were able to indulge in too. First, a very informative, and fun, visit to the Titanic museum, including a chance to dress up as the ship's captain or a person of high society! This was followed by an insight into the underworld of smuggling. Here pupils could explore life size models of smuggling tunnels and the conditions on a smugglers ship.
Accompanied by some noisy seagulls, we enjoyed our lunch by the docks before it was time to make the short journey to The Philharmonic Hall. The concert was both entertaining and informative, and had our pupils captivated by these world class musicians. The orchestra took us on a tour round the world with music from a host of different nations but had the very current theme of 'British Values' at it's core. With the opportunity to sing and dance, it really was an experience our pupils will never forget.


The Purge is a psychological thriller movie. My impression before watching the movie when I saw the poster was that it was a S.A.W. or Friday the 13th style film where a killer goes and "purges" dudes. I saw the trailer for this movie a few minutes before walking into the theater and it seems that it's not at all what it seems.
I had no idea what I was getting myself into walking into the cinema. So I checked the cast and saw that Ethan Hawke was in it. Then I was suddenly onboard. I am a fan of Ethan and he has been off the radar for quite a while now, the last time I saw him was as a Vampire on Daybreakers. Him being here gives me a little bit more incentive to watch.
The Purge wasn't at all supernatural and it was all about a dystopian future in the United States. In 2022, there is a day in the year where for 12 hours (7pm – 7am), all crime, murder and killings using small arms are considered legal. The only folks that are exempted from this are top ranking government officials. People go out to the streets to kill or "Purge" mostly the non-contributing members of society like the jobless, homeless and criminals. That was the main idea at least for purists. For others, it's to vent out their aggression to kill people they hate like neighbors, coworkers or maybe friends. As a result, the United States has 1% unemployment rate and the economy is blooming. The Purge movie revolves around Ethan Hawke's family during the actual Purge. Obviously something goes wrong during this time that's worth telling.
James Sandin (Hawke) is the father of the family in focus and sells security systems for the private sector in preparation for the annual purge. He did a really good job of playing the role of scared dad playing tough trying to protect his own family. He is flanked by wifey Mary Sandin (played by Lena Headey who is the brother-loving Queen Cersei from Game of Thrones). All I can say is that she is gaining notoriety for being a really terrible parent. No difference here, she is still a terrible one, it has resulted in a really dysfunctional kids wherein no one thinks for themselves and no one listens to what each others say. Perfect recipe for a suspense flick.
Other than these 2, no other member in the cast have done anything significant. There are the 2 kids played by brother (Max Burkholder) and sister (Adelaide Kane). They don't even give the other characters names.
It's a suspense thriller. Family trying to survive the Purge. No twists or turns here, within a few minutes into the movie you already know what's going to happen. The pace is good for a thriller, it gives you some jumps here and there, lulls you into a false sense of security then gives you more cheap scares. Fun stuff.
The Purge does what it sets out to do: 1. Show you what a dystopian United States will be like and 2. Give you some scares and jumps in the process. As a glimpse of that horrible future, it does that job well. Now as a movie, not so much. I spent majority of the time getting annoyed at the characters and how much bad decisions were made in the process. For the most part, I did enjoy the gory scenes that involved a lot of knife chopping and shotguns to the face.
The Purge is not a very good movie. If you're looking for a popcorn movie that will keep you at the edge of your seat, then lower your expectations and go ahead. The Purge shows in Philippine theaters on July 31st.


Your primary objective is to destroy the Sansha's Nation battle station. Clearing the area of hostile forces should decloak the Nation's ore refinery. Mine the local Lyavite asteroids and transport the ore to the refinery. The chain reaction caused by refining the explosive ore will tear the battle station apart.
Sansha's Nation has established semi-mobile mining colonies to aid in the harvesting of ore. Due to the unique nature of these operations, which incorporate new mining technologies and hundreds of willing miner slaves, the daily amount of ore extracted from these operations would be sufficient for the replacement of hundreds of battleships. DED's conclusion is that these mining operations are a primary method of supplying the new Nation fleets with replacement vessels.
Further complicating matters is the demonstrated capability of this colony to disrupt local system-wide services. The exact nature of this technology is unknown, but appears to be dependent upon first establishing a system-wide presence. If the Sansha can be removed quickly, their potential impact upon the affected systems will be limited.
Synopsis from ISHAEKA-0071. DED Special Operations.
Below is a list of enemies that spawn in this site. See Sansha's Manual for a full list of the incursion rats.
If you mine the Lyavite, the list of potential ships is expanded.
Everytime you pull ore from the asteroid, there is a chance of a new spawn containing these new or a combination of these and some of the frigates above.
^ While using their propulsion module, they suffer the same signature bloom as players.
^ This is the speed of the ship while they try to get within orbit or as they try to chase after you, suffering the same signature bloom as players do with the propulsion module on. They will turn off any propulsion modules once they get close to their preferred orbit.
^ Preferred orbit range and regular speed while orbiting, which is their regular speed without the propulsion module turned on.
^ Damage per second as well as damage per volley. Unless stated otherwise, turrets do an equal amount of EM and thermal damage while torpedoes do an equal amount of kinetic and explosive damage.
^ This is the effective range of this ship, presented with two values for turrets, optimal and optimal + double falloff, as well as a single range for torpedoes.
^ This is the amount of damage this ship can take, taking into account their resists. All ships, except the Lirsautton Parichaya have omni tanks. Hover over the icon for information about raw hitpoints.
This is a generic kill order that works no matter what fleet you're running. Certain special doctrines or fleet compositions could change some things in order to optimize their fleet efficiency, so this isn't necessarily the only kill order, but it works.
As a general rule of thumb, if you cannot shoot the highest priority target due to low damage projection, move on to the next target you can actually hit. Just remember to switch back to a higher priority target if it moves into range later on.
1 Niarja Myelen Because the Niarja Myelen jams and neuts.
Mara Paleo The Tama warp disrupts and you remove a lot of damage quickly by shooting them first.
The Mara is a high priority targets because it remote repairs the other ships.
3 Auga Hypophysis Schmaeel Medulla The Auga warp disrupts, webs and does more damage and is easier to kill than the Romi.
The Schmaeel because it both warp disrupts and webs, with the web being a potential problem for speed-tanking logistics.
4 Romi Thalamus Eystur Rhomben Neither Romis nor Eysturs pose any real threat, although multiple Romis will keep the incoming dps high for a while.
^ These targets are usually larger, cruisers or battleships and suitable for ships with good damage projection, lower tracking, like battleships with large guns.
^ Smaller targets, like frigates or extremely fast or small cruisers. Ideally the primary targets for strategic cruisers, Vindicators or the dronebunny as a last resort.
The last enemy killed triggers the next wave, so there is no risk of accidentally triggering the next wave before you finish your current one. Mining ore from the Lyavite asteroid will trigger additional spawns.
This site requires 255 units of a special ore called Lyavite.
Requires a range of 65km to effectively hit the Mara Paleo.
In order to complete this site you will need Lyavite which can be mined from a special asteroid in the site itself or simply brought in with you in the cargo hold for faster site completion. The asteroid with the Lyavite is about 60km away from where you land in the site, which coupled with the fact that you would need mining drones, mining lasers or strip miners to get the ore out of the asteroid, all incursion communities have stopped mining the ore in the site and simply buy it off the market or acquire it themselves from level 2 mining missions.
See Ore runner for more details on this role.
When it's time to run the ore, which is usually at the start of the third wave, find the refinery itself which is located on the right of the big Sanshas Battletower. The bracket to aim for is the left side of the refinery, called Asteroid Colony.
For simplicity, you can use "Keep at range ..." at 1,000 meters.
The refinery won't be interactable until all the enemies have been cleared from the field. This will trigger the refinery and spawn a can called "Nation Ore Refinery" close to the Asteroid Colony.
When you drop the ore into the Nation Ore Refinery the unstable ore will explode when reprocessed and cause a chain reaction destroying the battletower, finishing your objective.
While it's not critical to fleet safety to be able to hit the Mara Paleo out at 65km (can sometimes be as close at 52-54km if you're at the other end of the warp-in), it will be required to spawn the second wave. So if you find yourself unable to kill the Mara, you can always kill the warp disrupting Schmaeel Medullas and abandon the site.
There are three waves in this site, identifiable by the Mara Paleo in the first wave, the lack of any Auga Hypophysis in the second and the reappearance of the Auga for the third and final wave.
Waves spawn roughly 70 - 75km away from the beacon, although the Sansha will rapidly close the distance to their preferred orbit.
The different waves are slightly randomised. The same type of ships will spawn in each wave, but the number of each is randomised.

Shipwreck found in Lake Erie could be nearly…
Shipwreck found in Lake Erie could be nearly 200 years old
By The Associated Press and John Seewer |
PUBLISHED: April 23, 2018 at 9:12 a.m. | UPDATED: May 17, 2018 at 3:18 a.m.
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Shipwreck hunters are planning to excavate around a Lake Erie wreck this summer that they think could be the remains of a schooner that went down nearly two centuries ago.
Its size, design and location point toward it being a sailing ship called the Lake Serpent, which sunk in 1829, the National Museum of the Great Lakes said Monday.
That would make it one of the oldest wrecks ever discovered on Lake Erie. The shallowest of the Great Lakes where violent storms whip up in a hurry is home to hundreds of wreckage sites. Many have been found in recent years by a small, dedicated band of hunters.
To determine whether the latest discovery to be announced is indeed the Lake Serpent, divers will first need to get a closer look at wreckage and move away the sediment covering part of the ship.
"Because it's so small, that makes it very, very old," said Tom Kowalczk, who spotted the wreckage on his sonar screen in the summer of 2015. "That puts it way back to an early time frame and really limits the possibilities."
Members of the Cleveland Underwater Explorers and the museum have been digging through historical records and newspaper clippings to come up with the names of vessels it might be.
They've narrowed the list to three, with the Lake Serpent being the most likely answer, said Carrie Snowden, the museum's archaeology director.
"That's our working theory," she said.
The schooner was built in 1821 in Cleveland at a time when the city had less than 1,000 residents. Its job was to carry cargo — produce, flour, whiskey, limestone — to ports along the lakes.
It went down eight years later with a load of stone and a small crew near Kelleys Island off the Ohio shoreline.
The body of one crew member was spotted in the lake days later while the bodies of the captain and his brother washed up on the shore of Lorain County in the fall of 1829, according to a newspaper report.
The ship had an unusual carving of a serpent's head in the bow.
The museum is raising money so that divers this summer can remove the sediment that surrounds the bow to see if they can find the serpent's head. They also plan to take measurements, examine how the ship was constructed and look for any artifacts that could identify the ship as the Lake Serpent.
"If it isn't that," said Snowden. "We just have to keep digging some more."

Bob Arum On How Much He's Willing To Pay Shawn Porter In Possible Terence Crawford Clash: "I'm Not Guaranteeing More Than A Million Dollars, I'm Just Not"
Regardless of how much Shawn Porter believes he should be paid to face WBO welterweight belt holder Terence Crawford, promoter Bob Arum refuses to open his wallet anymore than he has to.
For the former two-time welterweight titlist, Porter currently finds himself in an ideal situation. At the moment, the Ohio native occupies the number one spot in both the WBC and WBO sanctioning bodies, as well as the number two ranking in the IBF.
With a wide variety of championship bouts at his disposal, Porter expressed a desire to take on WBO belt holder Terence Crawford. However, with Arum offering Porter only one million dollars for his services, the former champions balked at the offer, claiming that it was somewhat of a slap in the face. To Arum, on the other hand, he simply doesn't understand how Porter, or anyone for that matter, could scoff at the possibility of pocketing a cool million dollars.
"I read someplace that he felt that I insulted him by only offering him a million dollars," said Arum during a recent interview with Barbershop Conversations. "I'm old fashion, I don't know why a million dollars would be an insult to anybody."
For the 33-year-old Porter, there's a reason why he feels offended by what he believes is a paltry offer from Arum. Not only is the Las Vegas, resident a multiple-time belt holder, but he also managed to rake in over 300,000 pay-per-view buys in his September unification bout against unified champion Errol Spence Jr. in 2019.
When juxtaposing resumes to previous Crawford opponents, Porter believes he is of a much higher stature. In Crawford's most recent appearance in the ring, the WBO belt holder made quick work of British product Kell Brook with a fourth-round stoppage victory. While Brook was once a former champion in his own right, at the age of 34, his best days are seemingly behind him.
Although his time in the ring against Crawford was a short one, Brook was reportedly paid two million dollars for his efforts, making Arum's one million dollar offer to Porter an even bigger insult according to the rugged contender.
Still, even with Porter viewed as the most accomplished and dangerous opponent Crawford has ever faced, Arum has drawn a line in the sand.
"He should work a deal with me on upside. I'm not guaranteeing more than a million dollars, I'm just not, not in these times."

R. Shawn McBride recently spoke about internet forms.
Hi, folks, Shawn here with you. You know you hear a lot of lawyers say that internet forms are terrible. If you Google around most of them say it's bad. I've even taken that position. But when are internet forms good?
R. Shawn McBride recently spoke about working up front with only 3 hours instead of taking 300 hours later.
Hey folks, Shawn here, asking you an important question. Would you rather hire a lawyer for 3 hours or 300 hours? Most people would easily say the three hours. And that's the clear choice.

Graph conductance queries, also known as personalized PageRank and related to random walks with restarts, were originally proposed to assign a hyperlink-based prestige score to Web pages. More general forms of such queries are also very useful for ranking in entity-relation (ER) graphs used to represent relational, XML and hypertext data. Evaluation of PageRank usually involves a global eigen computation. If the graph is even moderately large, interactive response times may not be possible. Recently, the need for interactive PageRank evaluation has increased. The graph may be fully known only when the query is submitted. Browsing actions of the user may change some inputs to the PageRank computation dynamically. In this paper, we describe a system that analyzes query workloads and the ER graph, invests in limited offline indexing, and exploits those indices to achieve essentially constant-time query processing, even as the graph size scales. Our techniques—data and query statistics collection, index selection and materialization, and query-time index exploitation—have parallels in the extensive relational query optimization literature, but is applied to supporting novel graph data repositories. We report on experiments with five temporal snapshots of the CiteSeer ER graph having 74–702 thousand entity nodes, 0.17–1.16 million word nodes, 0.29–3.26 million edges between entities, and 3.29–32.8 million edges between words and entities. We also used two million actual queries from CiteSeer's logs. Queries run 3–4 orders of magnitude faster than whole-graph PageRank, the gap growing with graph size. Index size is smaller than a text index. Ranking accuracy is 94–98% with reference to whole-graph PageRank.

Alleged Gunman in Death of Sacramento Officer Has Violent History
SACRAMENTO — A rookie Sacramento police officer was shot during a domestic violence call and lay wounded for about 45 minutes as the gunman kept officers at bay with bursts of fire, authorities said Thursday. She was finally rescued with an armored vehicle but died at a hospital.

"We are devastated," Deputy Chief Dave Peletta said. "There are no words to convey the depth of sadness we feel or how heartbroken we are for the family of our young, brave officer."
Officer Tara O'Sullivan, 26, was shot Wednesday evening while helping a woman collect her belongings to leave her home. As officers swarmed the area, the gunman continued firing in a standoff that lasted about eight hours before he surrendered.
Police said five officers fired their weapons during the incident.
Police identified the suspect as Adel Sambrano Ramos, 45, of Sacramento.
His younger brother, Orlando Ramos, told The Associated Press that Adel Ramos is estranged from his family and has a long record that includes convictions for driving under the influence, drug use and domestic violence.
"We are devastated. There are no words to convey the depth of sadness we feel or how heartbroken we are for the family of our young, brave officer." — Sacramento Deputy Police Chief Dave Peletta
"If he goes to prison for the rest of his life, I could care less," Orlando Ramos said. "I'm a lot more heartbroken for seeing the pain in my mother and for the police officer and her family than I am for him going to prison."
He said he was sorry the shooting occurred and sent his condolences to the officer's family.
Officer Had Been on the Force 6 Months
O'Sullivan graduated from the police academy in December and was working with a training officer. She was expected to be on her own in a couple of weeks, Peletta said.
She and other officers arrived at the home at 5:41 p.m. A half-hour later the first shots were fired, and O'Sullivan was hit, authorities said. The gunman continued firing a rifle-type weapon. At 6:54 p.m., additional officers responded with an armored vehicle to rescue O'Sullivan.
"Our officers maintained cover in safe positions until we were able to get an armored vehicle in the area," Sgt. Vance Chandler said.
Five minutes later, O'Sullivan was taken to UC Davis Medical Center, where she died.

The woman she was helping was not hurt. Orlando Ramos said she was Adel Ramos' girlfriend.
Details about the scene of the attack remained sketchy, but law enforcement experts offered differing opinions on the length of time it took for officers to reach O'Sullivan.
Thor Eells, executive director of the National Tactical Officers Association and a retired SWAT commander from Colorado, said lack of cover or protection, topography and the location of the fallen officer and shooter could explain why it took 45 minutes.
Delay in Getting to Wounded Officer 'Unacceptable,' Expert Says
Charles "Sid" Heal, former commanding officer of Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department SWAT unit, said putting additional officers in harms' way without proper protection is not an option.
However, Stephen Nasta — a professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice and a former inspector with the New York Police Department — called the delay "unacceptable."
He said officers should have commandeered an armored bank vehicle, bus or heavy construction equipment if an armored police vehicle was not immediately available or used diversionary tactics to distract the gunman as other officers rescued the wounded comrade.
"She had a big heart, a strong mind, a great personality. She made you smile — she is exactly what we need in the police force." — Robert Nelson, president, Sacramento State
O'Sullivan grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and graduated from California State University-Sacramento with a degree in child development.
Professors and mentors described her as a hard worker and role model in a new program for aspiring law enforcement officers at the university.
"She had a big heart, a strong mind, a great personality. She made you smile — she is exactly what we need in the police force," said Robert Nelson, university president. The school plans to launch a scholarship in O'Sullivan's honor.
Melissa Repa, director of the career center, recalled watching O'Sullivan go through an obstacle and ropes course in the rain during her first day in the program. She didn't let her small stature stop her.
"Nothing would get in her way of climbing and surmounting her goals," Repa said through tears.
Muhammed Ilyas, who lives near the scene of the shooting, said Ramos had a history of harassing a black family that lived next door and even threatened the three children with kitchen knives as they played outside.
He frequently shouted racial slurs at the family, said Ilyas, who identified Ramos as the man living there when shown a photo.
Ramos was a "very nasty guy," Ilyas said.

Do you ever feel like the right song can speak for you? Or that the perfect lyrics, allow you to understand your feelings more clearly? I get like that sometimes, but not usually from songs from Broadway musicals.
In college I was in a sorority. At the end of four years, as we were about to graduate, we had a tradition called senior songs. Each senior would choose a song that wrapped up what their time in Tri Delta meant to them. Then the rest of the chapter would guess who's song was who's. It was never hard to guess because usually the girl who's song it was, was elegantly shedding a single tear or, if they were like me, sobbing like a baby.
These were the words that so perfectly described those four years for me. Wicked, still one of my favorite plays, gave me the words I couldn't give myself.
Today I was running. Running with a strange sense of determination. Something within me has been different lately. And once again Wicked gave me the words I needed.
I know I am not green or a witch, but for whatever reason my stride got a little faster while I was defying my own gravity. Defying the invisible (but in many ways visible) weight that has held me back from reaching my health and fitness goals. Defying that voice in my head that has so many times before told me I couldn't do it, or I wasn't good enough. My stride got faster, a smile spread across my face and if I hadn't been surrounded by handsome gym goers, I probably would have broken out into song with Idena Menzel.

After surviving the black plague and bands of marauding thieves for more than 1,400 years, a landslide finally forced residents from Craco in 1991.
A wood-and-steel sculpture garden featuring an artful interplay of nature and machinery.
Considering the hillside village's long tenure, it's amazing the residents were not forced out earlier by Mother Nature. Craco was founded in the 8th century, and was a brilliant survivor considering the volatile nature of the medieval period. The village sits on a cliff 400 meters off of the ground. With panoramic views, the city center can easily be defended from the average barbarian horde.
Despite its advantages, Craco is at a serious natural disadvantage. Exposed to the elements along with earthquakes and landslides, Craco finally caved in near the millennium.
Even without residents, the storied history of the town has left quite a monument to medieval architecture through the ages. The striking castle was built in 1300 and dominates the view on the cliff. Along with the castle, a church in Craco houses a statue of the Virgin Mary that was remarkably discovered in a nearby body of water.
Even though emigration has left Craco eerily uninhabited, life returns to the town during one of the many religious festivals held there paying homage to the Virgin Mary and the statue. Six festivals happen in Craco from May to October. Visitors coming during other seasons can still enjoy the dilapidated town and views of the surrounding area, which include "calanchi," arid and barren mounds below the cliffs of Craco.

Southeast Faculty Member Selected for Visiting Professor Program with National Ad Agency
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo., June 24, 2005ᾰDr. Karie Hollerbach, assistant professor in the Department of Communication at Southeast Missouri State University, was selected to participate this summer in the 2005 Visiting Professor Program (VPP) through the Advertising Educational Foundation (AEF).
The VPP is a highly competitive, nationwide program for professors of advertising, marketing, communications and the liberal arts. Professors chosen for the VPP spend an intensive two-week fellowship with the top advertising agencies in New York, Chicago and San Francisco.
The VPP provides a forum for the exchange of ideas between industry and academia by exposing professors to the daily life of an agency. The fellowship concludes with a presentation to the agency staff about a topic of interest and research.
Hollerbach was one of 16 professors from across the nation chosen for the program and will be spending the two-week fellowship with DDB Chicago, which holds accounts for companies such as McDonalds, JC Penney, The Home Depot, Dell, Budweiser and Office Max.
To apply for the program, Hollerbach submitted a vita, along with a letter of recommendation from the department chair, a list of advertising and mass communication courses she teaches at Southeast and a personal statement discussing what she wished to accomplish as a participant in the program.
Hollerbach will be working with the McDonalds account team from July 25 through Aug. 5, participating in the research, account planning, media planning, copy writing, design and production of advertisements for the corporation. In addition, Hollerbach will give a presentation to DDB Chicago employees on developing a better understanding of the relationship with today's multicultural audiences.
"Being selected to participate in this highly competitive, national fellowship program is an honor that I am proud to share with my department at Southeast," Hollerbach said. "It recognizes the levels of both quality teaching and research that we as faculty strive for on this campus."
Hollerbach began her career at Southeast in 1995 and became a full-time faculty member in 2000. She received both her undergraduate and graduate degrees from Southeast, and attained her doctorate from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale in 2004. Hollerbach holds 10 years of professional industry experience in advertising with Southwestern Bell and CenterMark Properties.
"I tell my students repeatedly that advertising is a contact sport, and to understand it and be proficient, you have to practice it," Hollerbach said. "This fellowship with DDB gives me the chance to, once again, practice the art and craft of advertising that can only benefit my students' experiences in my classroom."

Steinitz sees U.S.-mediated Lebanese sea border talks in weeks
Energy minister says it is likely that as soon as the talks begin, energy groups operating in both Israeli and Lebanese waters will be able to carry out the first seismological survey of the disputed area
Israel expects to launch U.S.-mediated talks within a month with Lebanon on setting their maritime border, Energy Minister Yuval Steintiz said on Wednesday.
Lebanon has not commented publicly on whether it would attend talks or on any possible timeline.
Yuval Steinitz (Photo: Motti Kimchi)
"I hope that in the next month, during this summer, that we will begin negotiations," Steinitz told Reshet 13 television. "They said that yes, they are prepared to sit and solve the dispute but there are still the terms (to be agreed)."
Israel and Lebanon both claim some 860 square kilometers (330 square miles) of the Mediterranean Sea. Lebanon hopes to unleash offshore oil and gas production as it grapples with an economic crisis. Washington is mediating between the two countries, which have been officially at war since Israel's creation in 1948.

The United States, which has been sending a senior envoy on shuttle missions between Lebanon and Israel, also has not announced a date or venue but said it is prepared to help them resolve the dispute.
The envoy, Acting Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs David Satterfield, has been travelling between Israel and Lebanon to try to lower tensions, which have also stemmed from a land border dispute.
Formally at war since Israel's 1948 founding, the neighbors have long disagreed on border demarcations in the eastern Mediterranean, an issue that gained prominence in the past decade when large deposits of natural gas were found there.
Lebanese Energy Minister Nada Boustani (Photo: AFP)
Steinitz said that it was likely that as soon as the talks begin, energy groups operating in both Israeli and Lebanese waters will be able to carry out the first seismological survey of the disputed area.
He said that he expected an agreement between the two countries to be reached within six to nine months.
Among the bridging proposals put forward by both sides was for international energy groups, operating in both Israeli and Lebanese waters, to carry out the first seismological survey of the disputed area, the Israeli official said.
Steinitz said last month that Israel was open to U.S.-mediated talks on the sea border.
Earlier this month, a senior Israeli official said on condition of anonymity that Israel expects the negotiations "will begin already in the coming weeks."
If there were talks, the official said, they would address only the maritime border and not the land frontier.

Boston Pizza Has a Record Year for New Store Openings in 2005, Boston Pizza Royalties Income Fund Adds 31 Restaurants to Royalty Pool
BOSTON PIZZA HAS A RECORD YEAR FOR NEW STORE OPENINGS IN 2005
BOSTON PIZZA ROYALTIES INCOME FUND ADDS 31 RESTAURANTS TO ROYALTY POOL
VANCOUVER, BC, JANUARY 3, 2006 - Boston Pizza Royalties Income Fund (the "Fund") (TSX: BPF.UN) and Boston Pizza International Inc. ("BPI") announced today that effective January 1, 2006, the number of Boston Pizza restaurants included in the Fund's royalty pool (the "Royalty Pool") has been increased to include the royalties from 30 new full-service restaurants and one new Quick Express location opened across Canada between November 2, 2004 and December 31, 2005 (the "Period"). With the addition of these 31 restaurants, royalties are now payable to the Fund from 226 Boston Pizza restaurants.
The Fund indirectly owns the Boston Pizza trade marks and trade names used by BPI in its Boston Pizza restaurants in Canada. in 2002 the Fund licensed these trade marks to BPI for 99 years and in return BPI pays the Fund a top line royalty of 4% of franchise revenues of Royalty Pool restaurants. Annually, the Rolyalty Pool of Boston Pizza restaurants is increased to include the new Boston Pizza restaurants that have opened in the prior year. The increase is adjusted to reflect any locations that may have permanently closed during the year. During the year no Boston Pizza restaurants were closed.
"In 2005 our team set a Boston Pizza record for new store openings. Opening 31 new locations and not closing a single location is a great achievement that speaks to the strength of our business model. Our employees and franchisees should be commended" said Mike Cordoba, Chief Executive Officer for BPI and the Fund.
On January 1 of each year (the "Adjustment Date"), an adjustment is made to add to the Royalty Pool new Boston Pizza restaurants that opened prior to that Adjustment Date. In return for adding this additional royalty revenue, BPI receives the right to indirectly acquire additional Fund units (the "Additional Entitlements"). The adjustment for new Franchise Sales added to the Royalty Pool is designed to be accretive for Unitholders. The Additional Entitlements are calculated at 92.5% of the estimated royalty revenue added to the Royalty Pool, divided by the yield of the Fund, divided by the Weighted Average Unit Price. BPI receives 80% of the Additional Entitlements initially, with the balance received when the actual full year performance of the new restaurants is known with certainty. BPI receives 100% of distributions from the Additional Entitlements throughout the year. Once these new restaurants have been part of the Royalty Pool for a full year, an audit of the royalty revenues of these restaurants received from BPI will be performed. At such time an adjustment will be made to reconcile distributions paid to BPI and the Additional Entitlements received by BPI.
In return for adding the royalty revenue from the 31 new restaurants to the Royalty Pool, BPI has received 1,523,846 Additional Entitlements. The 1,523,846 represents 80% (1,904,808 represents 100%) of the Additional Entitlements with the balance received when the actual full year performance of the new restaurants is known with certainty. The 1,523,846 Additional Entitlements represents 11.2% of the Fund units on a fully diluted basis. The full 1,904,808 Additional Entitlements would represent 13.3% of the Fund on a fully diluted basis. The estimated franchise revenues for the 31 new restaurants in 2006 is estimated to be $61,098,000. The estimated 4% royalty revenue the Fund will receive in 2006 from these additional 31 restaurants is $2,443,920. The royalty revenue for the purposes of calculating the Additional Entitlements, therefore, is $2,260,626 or 92.5%. Once the actual performance of these 31 restaurants for 2006 is known, the number of Additional Entitlements will be adjusted in 2007 to reflect the actual royalty revenue received by the Fund in 2006. As of January 1, 2006, there are 226 restaurants in the Royalty Pool.
Including the 1,523,846 Additional Entitlements described above, BPI has the right to exchange its securities for 3,945,056 Fund Units, representing 28.9% of the Fund Units on a fully diluted basis. BPI has agreed to maintain at least a 20% ownership interest, direct or indirect, in the Fund until such time as there are 275 restaurants in the Royalty Pool. Please see below Table 1.

guideline (n.)
1785, "line marked on a surface before cutting," from guide + line (n.). Meaning "rope for steering a hot-air balloon" is from 1846. In figurative use by 1948. Related: Guidelines.
Entries linking to guideline
guide (v.)
late 14c., "to lead, direct, conduct," from Old French guider "to guide, lead, conduct" (14c.), earlier guier, from Frankish *witan "show the way" or a similar Germanic source, from Proto-Germanic *witanan "to look after, guard, ascribe to, reproach" (source also of German weisen "to show, point out," Old English witan "to reproach," wite "fine, penalty"), from PIE root *weid- "to see." The form of the French word influenced by Old Provençal guidar (n.) "guide, leader," or Italian guidare, both from the same source. Related: Guided; guiding. Guided missile, one capable of altering course in flight, is from 1945.
line (n.)
a Middle English merger of Old English line "cable, rope; series, row, row of letters; rule, direction," and Old French ligne "guideline, cord, string; lineage, descent" (12c.), both from Latin linea "linen thread, string, plumb-line," also "a mark, bound, limit, goal; line of descent," short for linea restis "linen cord," and similar phrases, from fem. of lineus (adj.) "of linen," from linum "linen" (see linen).
The earliest sense in Middle English was "cord used by builders for taking measurements;" extended late 14c. to "a thread-like mark" (from sense "cord used by builders for making things level," mid-14c.), also "track, course, direction." Meaning "limit, boundary" (of a county, etc.) is from 1590s. The mathematical sense of "length without breadth" is from 1550s. From 1530s as "a crease of the face or palm of the hand." From 1580s as "the equator."
Sense of "things or people arranged in a straight line" is from 1550s. Now considered American English, where British English uses queue (n.), but the sense appears earliest in English writers. Sense of "chronologically continuous series of persons" (a line of kings, etc.) is from late 14c.
Meaning "one's occupation, branch of business" is from 1630s, according to OED probably from misunderstood KJV translation of II Corinthians x.16, "And not to boast in another mans line of things made ready to our hand," where line translates Greek kanon which probably meant "boundary, limit;" the phrase "in another man's line" being parenthetical.
Commercial meaning "class of goods in stock" is from 1930, so called from being goods received by the merchant on a line in the specific sense "order given to an agent" for particular goods (1834). Insurance underwriting sense is from 1899. Line of credit is from 1958.
Meaning "series of public conveyances" (coaches, later ships) is from 1786; meaning "continuous part of a railroad" is from 1825. Meaning "telegraph wire between stations" is from 1847 (later "telephone wire"). Meaning "cord bearing hooks used in fishing" is from c. 1300. Meaning "policy or set of policies of a political faction" is 1892, American English, from notion of a procession of followers; this is the sense in the political party line, and, deteriorated, it is the slang line that means "glib and plausible talk meant to deceive."
In British army, the Line (1802) is the regular, numbered troops, as distinguished from guards, auxiliaries, militia, etc. In the Navy (1704) it refers to the battle line (the sense in ship of the line, which is attested from 1706).
Dutch lijn, Old High German lina, German Leine, Old Norse lina "a cord, rope," are likewise from Latin. Spanish and Italian have the word in the learned form linea. In continental measurements, a subdivision of an inch (one-tenth or one-twelfth in England), attested in English from 1660s but never common. Also see lines.
To get a line on "acquire information about" is from 1903. To lay it on the line is from 1929 as "to pay money;" by 1954 as "speak plainly." End of the line "as far as one can go" is from 1948. One's line of work, meaning "pursuit, interest" is from 1957, earlier line of country (1861). Line-drawing is from 1891. A line-storm (1850) is a type supposed to happen in the 10 days or two weeks around the times the sun crosses the equator.

Provodnik relies on our network of friends and colleagues. Each tour is an original research project conducted by experts and insiders. During the trip, we introduce our guests to the most interesting residents of the city: artists, curators, museum professionals, historians, urbanists, architects, sociologists, designers, environmentalists, and many others. They welcome you to their cultural sites, studios, apartments, and private collections to share unique perspectives on life in Moscow. Instead of the leader-follower roles of the classic tour, our trips are an intimate safe space for open dialogue, and an opportunity to meet new friends.
We also organize customized tours shaped by your preferences, whether it's a combination of highlights from existing programs, deeper dive into something specific or special arrangements during the festivals and biennials. Just tell us what you are particularly interested in.
It's the rare person who falls for Moscow at first sight. Its subtle charm and youthfulness need to be discovered beneath its harsh exterior of a massive metropolis. Our detours will introduce you to a Moscow-in-progress. Through the weighty entanglements of past and present, through the processes shaping the city's daily life, through its people still finding themselves, we'll uncover a city ever coming of age.
Where best to begin understanding culture if not through art? From highbrow opera to the grungiest back alley studio, art keeps a finger on the pulse of reality. Our tours bring you deep into the pulsating heart of Moscow's cultural life. From redoubtable museums to artists' dishevelled studios to edgy alternative spaces, we invite you to come up personal with the artistic process, set against the gravitas of history and circumstances.
Our trips span all the sides of Moscow's current gastronomic processes. They introduce you to reinvented Russian cuisine, its evolution, recent tendencies and further prospects. We'll explore the full mise en scène. Luscious delicacies in classy restaurants, the growing farmer's movement, people's embrace of local producers, and the revitalization of the grocery markets.

Q: In Flask, how do you update an input field in a template? Being am new to Flask I read the manuals of Flask an Jinja and I know how to read a filed from a template, but not how to update the template.
My template has the following structure which I modified from the doco
<form action="{{ url_for('add_entry') }}" method=post class=add-entry>

Documet:

<input   name=text size = 80 value = {{ AO_sDocument }} > </input >

<input type=submit value=Analyse>

    </form>

and my Python has the following line
render_template('show_entries.html',   AO_sDocument=AO_sDocument )

Yest this line does not seem to update the field.
Thanks!

A: As Jon Clements points out, your HTML has some markup errors. In order to guarantee all browsers can parse the HTML correctly, your template markup should look more like the following:
<form action="{{ url_for('add_entry') }}" method="post" class="add-entry">

Document:

<input name="text" size="80" value="{{ AO_sDocument }}" />

<input type="submit" value="Analyse" />

</form>

Alternately, you may wish to drop the use of
 and
 in favor of a , which are ever so slightly more semantically correct:
<form action="{{ url_for('add_entry') }}" method="post" class="add-entry">
    Document:
    <input id="text" name="text" size="80" value="{{ AO_sDocument }}" />
    <input type="submit" value="Analyse" />
</form>


The Event Horizon Telescope captured the first picture of a black hole — this one is in the Virgo A galaxy, called M87. The picture was released on April 10, 2019.
Quote: An international scientific team on Wednesday has unveiled a landmark achievement in astrophysics – the first photo of a black hole – in a feat that will put to the test a pillar of science: Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity.
Black holes are phenomenally dense celestial entities with gravitational fields so powerful no matter or light can escape, making them extraordinarily difficult to observe despite their great mass.
The fact that black holes do not allow light to escape makes viewing them difficult. The scientists will be looking for a ring of light – disrupted matter and radiation circling at tremendous speed at the edge of the event horizon – around a region of darkness representing the actual black hole. This is known as the black hole's shadow or silhouette.
The scientists said the shape of the shadow would be almost a perfect circle in Einstein's theory of general relativity, and if it turns out that it is not, there is something wrong with the theory.
The project's researchers obtained the first data in April 2017 using telescopes in the U.S. states of Arizona and Hawaii as well as Mexico, Chile, Spain and Antarctica. Since then, telescopes in France and Greenland have been added to the global network. The global network of telescopes has essentially created a planet-sized observational dish.
Your silhouette is so stationary"
We are in the middle of a seven-year tribulation between the two North American eclipses.
Battles are being fought between heaven and hell with silent weapons in a quiet war.
And it won't help you to see the light"
Blackholes are a myth invented because the math didn't work the quantum theory. They tried to make a square peg fit in a round hole which required them to fudge the math to explain the missing mass in the universe.
When you start with a faulty premise you cannot arrive at the truth.
The Universe is driven by electro-magnitism, not quantum gravity.
Did you see the first photograph of an atom that was in the news about two months ago?
Quote: 'Single Atom in an Ion Trap', by David Nadlinger, from the University of Oxford, shows the atom held by the fields emanating from the metal electrodes surrounding it. The distance between the small needle tips is about two millimetres.
Written in 1984 it appears that since then things have only worsened.
According to some estimates the bright radio source known as Sagittarius A* (pronounced A-star), residing at the heart of our Milky Way galaxy, is more than 50 light-years wide. It's radio glow stems from synchrotron radiation, the result of charged particles spiraling around magnetic field lines at relativistic speeds. Assumptions have been made that the Sag A* complex is the result of a massive black hole. Yet, save for mathematical computer models based on gravitational conjecture, not a single black hole has ever been found. Might the well known plasma dynamics of an electric universe reveal the true nature of the Milky Way's galactic center?
The central most region of our galaxy is filled with a variety of dense molecular clouds (plasma). A variety of factors such as temperature, chemical composition, bulk velocity etc are known to separate plasma of differing characteristics into separate molecular clouds. This self-organization is a fundamental aspect of plasma and is the 'life like' quality that prompted Irving Langmuir to so name them after blood plasma.
The Sagittarius A complex is divided into "Sag A East" and "Sag A West". Running perpendicular to the galactic plane is a series of filaments known to be magnetic called the Arc. They collectively form a long linearly polarized filament that appears to also interact with other molecular clouds but the filaments do not appear to be deflected by that interaction. That characteristic and their perpendicular relationship also implies that the "threads" composing the Arc are tracing the path of magnetic field lines.
It is not a photo. It is an image contrived from 'data'.
How come it blurry yet they have HD photos of a whole galaxy.
Chris Cornell was honest about the fact that he didn't think about his songs, they sort of just came to him fully formed. Sort of like how Tesla described his inventions.
Many of Chris Cornell's songs seemed focused on images of an eclipse.
I haven't been the same since a looked at the last eclipse, right nearby where I live on the line of totality. It was a very dramatic experience. Makes you appreciate the cosmic dance and perfect balance in the universe. It was a little bit overcast that day I could see the sun without my eclipse googles on, no problem.
Everyone should see the next one in totality, IMHO.
...I think Trump should have used eye protection, though.

Bay Area 'will not bite' HK

Development of the Greater Bay Area will not blur the lines of the one country, two systems principle nor lead to the mainland assimilating Hong Kong, Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said in a symposium yesterday.
This follows the unveiling on Monday of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area Outline Development Plan by the State Council.
Besides Lam, the symposium at the Ocean Park Marriott Hotel was attended by Guangdong governor Ma Xingrui, Macau Chief Executive Fernando Chui Sai-on, National Development and Reform Commission vice chairman Lin Nianxiu and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference vice chairman Tung Chee-hwa.
Lam said in an opening speech that the Greater Bay Area is important to Hong Kong as its traditional advantage is diminishing due to vigorous competition nearby and because of rising protectionism.
TS Channel
Yet Hong Kong has double advantages under the one country two systems, Lam said. So it should "convert from a connector to a new active role - a promoter and participant - to make Hongkongers benefit from the area's development."
She said one country, two systems is an advantage in the Bay, which would be internationalized further through this principle.
And she added: "The Greater Bay Area won't blur the border between the two systems, weaken the position of Hong Kong as a separate customs territory and cause Hong Kong to be assimilated by the mainland as some people seem to be worried about."
Echoing Ma's comment that Guangdong will make all efforts to develop the Bay, Lam said Hong Kong will do the same. She also plans to promote the area overseas.
Lin, who also is vice chairman of an office coordinating effort in the area, said the two SARs and Guangdong face many challenges in developing, and the area will provide ways to resolve deep-rooted conflicts. The Bay, Lin noted, involves one country, two systems, three separate customs territories and three currencies - a situation without precedent.
Lin also believes there are four principles that must be complied with strictly in the Bay development: actualization of the one country, two systems principle, operating in accordance with the national constitution and the SAR Basic Law, allowing the market to decide on allocation of resources, and making the people the center of consideration. Besides going all out in its effort to develop the area, Ma said on behalf of the Guangdong government, he noted that with various facilities in place - such as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link - a one-hour "living circle" between main cities will be achieved in the area.

Brassicaceae is a family of plants including mustard, wasabi, and horseradish. They are also called the mustard family, or cabbage family. Some plants in this family are hot when you eat them, so they are used as spices. All of them disturb the nose more than the tongue. Another group includea the cabbages, where there are broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage. Another name for this family is Cruciferae.
The flowers of this family have four petals and look like a cross. The name comes from the genus in it, Brassica.
Wikispecies has information on: Brassicaceae.
