Велика синаго́га — пам'ятка архітектури і культури в місті Дрогобичі (Україна), розташована на вулиці П. Орлика. Одна з восьми існуючих будівель з сімнадцяти (за іншими даними — двадцяти) синагог Дрогобича, які були в місті в період між Першою та Другою світовими війнами.

Передісторія

Перша згадка про наявність у місті Дрогобичі євреїв пов'язана з діяльністю Вовчка — утримувача дрогобицьких соляних копалень та, одночасно, довіреної особи польського короля Владислава Ягелло і датована роком 1404-м. Власне видобуток солі та її продаж привабили до міста та його околиць заможних єврейських торговців, котрі заселили прилеглі до копалень території.

У XV-XVI століттях кількість євреїв, що проживала поблизу Соляного озера й на межі тогочасних сіл Зварич й Завіжна (на даний момент вулиці Зварицька та Завіжна в межах сучасного Дрогобича) поступово зростала. Вони почали займатись виготовленням та продажем спиртних напоїв («пропінацією»), варінням пива, «шинкуванням» (додаванням міцності) меду, чим порушували монополію костелу й міського магістрату на цей вид діяльності і змусили останніх подати скаргу на євреїв у королівський суд. У 1578 році польський король Стефан Баторій надав Дрогобичу привілей, так званий «De non tolerandis Judaies» — заборону на проживання євреїв в межах міста, а прибулим до Дрогобича євреям не дозволялося перебувати в місті більше трьох днів і займатися торгівлею в поза ярмаркові дні. Наразі відсутні архівні документи, котрі б свідчили про наявність представників єврейської громади в Дрогобичі в період між 1578 та 1616 роком.

У 1616 році польським королем Владиславом IV Вазою надано привілей, у 1634 році підтверджений дрогобицьким старостою та королівським підскарбієм Яном (Іваном) Даниловичем. Згідно з цим привілеєм, євреям у передмісті Дрогобича надавалась неродюча земельна ділянка розміром 30 моргів, тобто 1 лан (близько 18 гектарів) для будівництва власного житла та синагоги. Так виник єврейський квартал, котрий отримав назву «Лан». Збудовані синагога та квартал «Лан» були знищені у 1648 році під час штурму міста козацькими загонами під проводом Богдана Хмельницького, на що місцеві євреї Арон Гошкович та Лев Аронович у вересні наступного 1649 року подали скаргу до Львівського міського суду. У 1711 році община отримала дозвіл на реставрацію синагоги, яка, проте, в 1713 році згоріла разом з «Ланом» під час пожежі. У 1726 році євреї отримали дозвіл на будівництво нової синагоги на тому ж місці при умові, що нова не буде вища та більша за попередню. У 1743 році синагогу перебудовано на кам'яну та обладнано галереї для жінок. Будівля синагоги була витягнута в плані в напрямку з заходу на схід (23,7х12,4 м), а товщина стін досягала 2,5 м. Ця синагога, єдина на той момент на «Лані» кам'яна будівля, служила притулком і захистом для євреїв та однією з архітектурних домінант Дрогобича до того часу, поки на сусідній ділянці зліва від неї у 1842-1865 роках не було побудовано монументальне приміщення великої хоральної синагоги. Після цього вона була перетворена на бейс-мідраш, а після Другої світової війни фрагменти її руїн були вбудовані в будівлю хлібозаводу.

Будівництво

Ініціатором будівництва нової Великої синагоги виступила місцева юдейська община, на чолі якої з 1849 року виступав хасидський цадик Лейзер-Нісан Тейтельбаум (Rabbi Eliezer Nissen Teitboim, 1786–1853). Дрогобицьку нову Велику синагогу зводили протягом 23 років, починаючи з 1842-го по 1865-й рік, у єврейському передмісті Дрогобича — Лан. На той момент дрогобицька хоральна синагога була однією з найбільших синагог на території всієї Європи та найбільшою на Західній Україні. За основу у зовнішньому оздобленні взято аналогічну синагогу, збудовану у німецькому місті Касселі (1830 р.), використавши для зображення на фасаді такі самі романські архітектурні пояси, притаманні для німецького стилю рундбоґен. Єврейську синагогу, збудовану у місті Касселі, зруйнували нацисти й її зараз можна побачити тільки на світлинах, а дрогобицька хоральна синагога знаходиться у стані реконструкції.

Історія

У часи Другої світової війни приміщення синагоги слугувало конюшнею.

Після завершення Другої світової війни у ній розмістився склад тканин, відтак склад солі, згодом меблева крамниця, а в прибудовах знаходились продуктові склади.

Наприкінці 80-х — початку 90-х років 20-го століття будівлю було повернуто Дрогобицькій юдейській громаді. Незважаючи не це, вона була розграбована й двічі підпалена. Будівля знаходилася в руїнах, існували проекти її реконструкції.

За підрахунками фахівців, на відновлення будівлі потрібно щонайменше півмільйона доларів США. Єврейська община України взялася за відновлення пам'ятки. Розпочали будівельники, як і годиться, з ремонту даху, аби врятувати все те, що ще залишилося. Однак Федерація єврейських общин України (хасиди) не спромоглися знайти належні кошти.

Згодом єврейська громада Дрогобича відшукала меценатів, які виділили гроші на укріплення стін приміщення. З листопада 2013 року продовжено ремонтні роботи, триває оновлення й зміцнення фасаду. Й, мабуть, угоду про оренду приміщення ФЄУ буде розірвано.

Сучасність
На сучасному етапі своєї історії приміщення дрогобицької хоральної синагоги використовується як своєрідний майданчик для мистецьких виставок і проектів, зокрема в ній у рамках фестивалю «Шульцфест» 4 рази проходили виставки акварелі члена Асоціації польських художників, випускника Університету Марії Кюрі-Склодовської у Любліні (1991) Бартоломея Міхаловського (2008 — «Назад», 2010 — «Місто… через 10 років Казімєж у Дрогобичі», 2012 — «Дорога», 2014 — «Весна»).  У січні 2020 розробили 3D-тур Хоральною синагогою.

Цікаво знати

Історики дослідили, що найбільшу синагогу Східної Галичини свого часу малював видатний польсько-єврейський художник, «єврейський Рембрандт» (XIX ст.), учень Яна Алоїзія Матейка, однокласник і друг Івана Франка уродженець Дрогобича Маврицій Готтліб. Дрогобицька Велика синагога зображена в його картині «Синагога в Йом кіпур».

"Coffee with a Cop," a unique and successful national program supported by the United States Department of Justice, is returning to Alhambra.
Alhambra Police Department officers invite Alhambra residents to have a cup of coffee — and talk — from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 28, at the IHOP Restaurant, 701 S. Fremont Ave., Alhambra.
Most contacts between police officers and community members occur during times of stress: community emergencies and in highly emotional situations. This Coffee with a Cop event will offer a time of leisure and informal interaction between Alhambra police officers and community members, creating an atmosphere of comfort for sharing information about the community.
Coffee with a Cop is an extension of the concept of Community Oriented Policing, a collaboration between the police and the community that identifies and solves community problems, with community members taking an active role in the process of problem solving.
Community participants are free to ask questions, bring up concerns, or simply to become better acquainted with the men and women in blue who serve the community. Please join Alhambra police officers for this event, whether for just a few minutes or for the entirety, as they look forward to building relationships with the community they protect and serve.


The first month of 2019 marked the start of my new semester and I was drowned in a lot of new stuff that I wasn't expecting. So I, unfortunately, couldn't read through all the thirty books but I still managed to read 13 and I think I should celebrate that fact. Anyway, it's a new month and this time, I'm only fully committing to the titles I'm reading as part of a book club, buddy reading with someone, or the ARCs I have to read. So while I maybe end up reading more thank 15 books in February 2019, I'm hoping to get to these fifteen at least.
So here are 15 books I'm planning to read in February 2019!
I'll be reading the sequel to the The Cruel Prince for Addicted to YA Book Club. It's a little far-fetched idea since I haven't read TCP yet but I'm hoping to finish The Cruel Prince in the first half of the month so I can start with The Wicked King in the later half of the month. And I'm pretty sure I'm gonna do that; you know why? Because I'll be buddy-reading it! Read on to find out with who.
I'll be reading this dystopian classic, FINALLY, because it's the book of the month for the Banned Book Club. If you're planning to read this, you know what to do: just join this club that's run by the lovely Shruti from ThisIsLitBlog.
Not only this, Fahreneit 451 is the Classic BOTM of our Classics 'N' Christie Book Club and I'm so looking forward to it. It's run by *ahem*me and the amazing Simant from FlippingThruThePages. If you're looking to read this and many more Classics throughout the year, don't forget to join in!
I'm re-reading Harry Potter for the first time in this marathon! And that's possible because the lovely Noura has recently set up a Goodreads group to re-read this epic series. February is all about reliving the amazing world through the second book in the series. If you wish to join, you know what to do!
The First Bad Man by Miranda July is the monthly pick by the 21st Century Literature Book Club and I've recently joined this club so I'm hoping to have a great experience reading this.
I was so happy when I got approved for an eARC of To Best The Boys on Netgalley, and I'll be reading it this month despite it being released in March 2019. really looking forward to this YA fantasy.
I've missed the publishing date of this ARC and I'm so guilty. It released on 8th January 2019 and I'm yet to read it but this is going to be the month. It's a collection of essays about being 'thick' and I'm so looking forward to it.
A collection of poems about celebrating womanhood. Is there a chance I won't be excited? This is set to release in March and I'm planning to read it this month and feel everything the blurb to this collection promises.
This month, RivetedLit has a few free reads up on their website but I have already read two of them and the other two are of a series or a spin off so I'm avoiding those.
These are books I have had on my Netgalley shelf for God knows how long. I was super excited when I got approved for them months back but somehow, I just couldn't pick them up because I was a VERY mood reader. Though, I'm hoping to be a perfect balance of pantser and planner as a reader in 2019 so here's a small step.
And these are some books that I've been meaning to read forever but couldn't. It's similar to my January 2019 TBR but I'm sure I'm gonna get through these because I'm buddy reading them! Each. One. Of. Them.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE UPDATES ON MY READING PROGRESS, DON'T FORGET TO ADD ME AS A FRIEND ON GOODREADS.
WHAT'S ON YOUR TBR FOR THIS MONTH? ARE YOU PLANNING ON READING ANY OF THESE? HIT ME UP FOR A BUDDY READ IF YOU'RE INTERESTED!
I'll be reading when Dimple Met Rishi on RivetedLit! I'm so thankful for their free reads every month 🙂 I don't have a fixed TBR this month but I hope to read Everless so I can read the sequel!
You almost read half of it, that's not bad at all!
So ambitious! I hope you get to read them all. I've just got two on my TBR for the month and I've finished neither!
Oh, I know I'm replying late but which two?

Q: What does puppet do to fix a 'stuck' systemctl service where systemctl would refuse to start a service? We had a scenario where on RHEL we couldn't start an application that had been running and we had just stopped.
sudo systemctl start myservice

We didn't have access to the journald logs on this server, so the state of the server was a mystery.
The application instance didn't 'start' as it logs verbosely, and yet the application logs weren't touched.
My friend came along and run a puppet agent update on this box:
puppet agent --environment=production --test

After this - we could stop and start the service.
I understand that puppet has the ability to remove and create a service, and also to 'daemon-reload'. ie something like
systemctl stop [servicename]
systemctl disable [servicename]
rm /etc/systemd/system/[servicename]
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl reset-failed

Now I'm realising in retrospect that I should have run
sudo systemctl reset-failed

I'm trying to work out what the specific thing that puppet does to get a 'stuck' service to work.
My question is: What does puppet do to fix a 'stuck' systemctl service where systemctl would refuse to start a service?

A: I got access to the journald logs and found out the following.
Interestingly enough a service will not start if the disk is full.
Puppet when running can choose to run a
yum clean all

Which fixes the issue and enables a service to start.

Inglewood set to become the Green Line urban village
Scott Henderson September 26, 2018 AVLI on Atlantic, Client Releases
Green Line LRT is a game changer for AVLI on Atlantic and Inglewood
Calgary AB: Future residents of Inglewood's newest condo are set to gain from a decade of improvements, as the area begins to experience the Green Line effect – the boost expected from the new Inglewood-Ramsey Light Rail Transit (LRT) station on 11th Street SE. This follows confirmation in May of the Federal Government's $1.53 billion commitment, for stage 1 of the project.
The new LRT station, now in design phase, is located a few minutes' walk to Inglewood's main street on 9th Avenue and 10 minutes' walk from AVLI. Ninth Avenue, also called Atlantic Avenue is undergoing a transformation, as new art spaces, live music venues, restaurants, craft breweries and boutique grocery stores open.
In the center of this hotspot, AVLI on Atlantic hits a new architectural and interior standard for Inglewood, offering eclectic modern living while just across the street from major Calgary restaurants such as The Nash, boutique baker and grocery store Bite, and the Esker Foundation, one of many local art galleries.
"Our brief on the design of AVLI on Atlantic was that it needed to be a work of art itself in order to fit with Inglewood's art scene," said Brian Kernick, president of Greenview Developments. "We're in the process of achieving that and it's proving popular with buyers and while 75% of homes are sold, there are still homes to choose from condo within the building".
'The Green Line' is expected to have a positive kick of up to 19% on real estate prices*, once the infrastructure is completed in 2026 according to insights from a report by QFREB on 'The effect of proximity to public transit on property values'. The service will be an important piece of Calgary's transit network, adding 28 stations and 46 kilometers of track to the existing 45 stations and 59 kilometer LRT system. End-to-end, the service will connect the Northern Hills communities and Seton to downtown. Inglewood-Ramsey will be just a few stops from downtown.
According to Statistics Canada, ever more homeowners are choosing to live in condominiums – 1.9 million Canadians live in a condo, and over 20% of these are Calgarians** – many seeking a different kind of urban, environmentally aware lifestyle, that values the benefits of transit.
"The new infrastructure plan is an excellent initiative for Inglewood and Calgary in general," said Kernick. "We have a lot of homeowners who are downtown working professionals, so this will be a great option to commute to work without the hassle that driving downtown presents."
"Cars are increasingly just one of the travel options for people here. LRT creates new commuting and visiting patterns, especially as the Green Line will feature interchange points along the route – and an eventual link to the airport."
"With condo bike storage and repair workshop amenities built into its design, AVLI on Atlantic gives Calgarians old and young lots of ways to get around – and the confidence that comes from investing in an area receiving a major infrastructure boost," Kernick adds.
New infrastructure and neighbourhood connectivity are key to Inglewood's and Calgary's metropolitan future. It is what makes other cities like New York (most walkable city 2017 in the USA, Canada and Australia) and Vancouver (most walkable city in Canada) major hubs. Walkable neighbourhoods allow communities to become more efficient and improve their quality of life through a better environment, health, and economy.
Homes at AVLI on Atlantic start in the low $300s. The majority of AVLI's floor plans are custom and range in size from 545 sq.ft. to 2,200 sq.ft. The development offers a unique mix of one and two bedroom units (plus den) and offers four live-work homes and seven penthouse suites.
The stylish condo project will also feature a $5 million retail space on the ground floor. Building owners and Inglewood residents will have a range of new shops to enjoy with the five retail units AVLI will provide on its ground floor. The units are currently for lease and range in size from 1,044 sq.ft. to 5,230 sq.ft.

AVLI on Atlantic
AVLI on Atlantic brings together a dream team of developers, designers, architects and consultants to develop an iconic building to not only Inglewood but Calgary. It is a seven-story, 65-unit luxury concrete condo building located on 9th Avenue (Atlantic Avenue) in Inglewood. Inglewood is one of Calgary's inner city neighbourhoods and was named Canada's greatest neighbourhood in 2014 by the Canadian Institute of Planners. The stylish new building includes $5 million in retail space on the ground floor.
Greenview Developments
Greenview Developments, the developers behind AVLI, have been involved in development, construction, and management of residential, commercial, industrial and hotels both in Canada and abroad for 25 years. Greenview works to be on cusp of leading-edge design, and building techniques to reduce environmental impacts. The company pioneered the first R2000 manufactured home in Western Canada and was recognized for its innovation with a 125-home project in Canmore, Alberta, which received the mayor's award for design and green building practices.

Troika of Tyranny vs Troika of Imperialism

The most disgusting aspect of what passes for the Trump administration's Latin America policy is its bottomless hypocrisy.
by Emily Neil
Donald Trump, national security advisor John Bolton and secretary of State Mike Pompeo, a menacing and reckless "troika of imperialism," hopelessly attempt to justify with the most ridiculous excuses the senseless cruelty, arrogance and stupidity that conform current U.S. relations with some of our neighbors south of the border. We are talking, of course, about Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua, sovereign countries that, whatever one may think about their governments, have every right to refuse blindly obeying Washington's orders and to protect their natural resources against the tentacles of greedy international corporations.
In a futile attempt to sound witty, the unbearably dense Bolton has called those nations "the troika of tyranny," and along with Trump, Pompeo, the sinister Elliott Abrams and the eminently ductile Marco Rubio, utters platitudes such as "restoring democracy," "ending dictatorship," etc. while doing his best to starve the people of those nations into submission and threatens them with war: "all options are on the table." But the smoke screen is not thick enough to hide their real intentions.
So far, their plots to overthrow Venezuela's president Nicolás Maduro have failed, and now the imperial troika has Cuba in the crosshairs. Bolton, whose hostility toward the island is well known, announced in Miami new sanctions on the Cuban people last April 17, supposedly aimed at effecting a change on the island's leadership and political system.
Yet, the truth is that after 60 years of unremitting hostility and failure, Trump, Rubio and the rest of the Washington cast of corrupt politicians and bureaucrats are well aware that sanctions won't accomplish the "regime change" they keep talking about. That's not their real intent. Rather it is a matter of naked cruelty, a way of punishing a small country with an "uppity" government and a population that has resisted all attempts by Washington to subjugate them and make them their lackeys. And in their imperial arrogance, that's something they cannot forgive or forget. Call it what you will, but cowardly trying to starve and impoverish an entire nation is terrorism of the worst kind.
Not surprisingly, neither Cuba nor decent Cuban-Americans are taking the return to Cold War policies sitting down, as the group Cuban Americans for Engagement (CAFE) makes clear in its website.
"Once again, the Trump administration chooses to be on the wrong side of history, by destroying the legacy of Barack Obama, who promoted a policy of rapprochement and diplomacy, against the grain of what most of the governments of this country have promulgated. It chooses, on the contrary, to perpetuate the illegitimacy of interventionist and disrespectful positions that undermine the sovereignty and right to self-determination of countries in the region, turning a deaf ear to the claims of an American and Cuban-American majority that supports the lifting of the embargo and the restoration of relations between Cuba and the United States."
CAFE follows its words with action by circulating a petition in the form of a strong open letter to Pompeo urging him "to reconsider your position on these topics and to act on the benefit of both countries."
The voices of those in favor of a rational Cuba policy and against cruelly increasing the suffering of its people must be heard as forcefully as possible. They may believe otherwise, but the "troika of imperialism" does not own the world.
Please, sign CAFE's petition at Change.org.

Editorial: Under Its Own Weight 7/2/04
David Borden, Executive Director, [email protected], 7/2/04
The past ten days have seen dramatic news from our nation's courts, the kind of news that could change everything. On June 23, an atypical majority of the Supreme Court led by Justice Antonin Scalia held that juries, not judges, must decide any fact of a case if it is to be used to increase the length of a convicted defendant's sentence, not merely enough facts to determine guilt on some of them.
Though the ruling was directed at the sentencing guideline system in use in Washington State, this week the highly conservative US District Court Judge Paul Cassell of Utah -- who clerked for then-Appeals Court Judge Scalia after graduating law school, in 1984 when the federal sentencing guidelines were being written -- relied on it to find the federal guidelines unconstitutional themselves. Cassell wrote that he intends to ignore the guidelines "until the constitutionality... has been definitely resolved by the Supreme Court."
And there was more... In Maine, US District Court Judge Brock Hornby reduced a defendant's sentence from 20 years down to 6½ years, calling the Scalia ruling's applicability to the federal guidelines "inevitable." And in Pennsylvania, an Assistant US Attorney reacted to the decision by asking the courts to put a hold on sentencing so his office could seek guidance from Attorney General John Ashcroft.
Interestingly, the sentencing ferment didn't wait for the Supreme Court ruling. A few days earlier, Senior District Judge William Young of Massachusetts had also found the federal guideline system unconstitutional, condemning it as "heavily rigged against the citizen" and castigating the Department of Justice for "callous indifference to innocent human life." Young noted the bizarre fact that "federal criminal sentences today may be based on conduct of which a defendant has been formally acquitted" -- an unfortunate procedure formulated by the original sentencing commission that crafted the guidelines, a group which included now-Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.
Young is no wild-eyed radical, but a well respected jurist; he gained popular fame for patriotic words spoken to would-be shoe-bomber Richard Reid on sentencing him last December, published in news outlets around the country. Certainly Cassell and Scalia are not the traditional darlings of criminal justice reformers, our sorts of reforms at least. Two years ago Scalia drew criticism for insulting a high school student and plaintiff who had challenged a high school drug testing policy -- "the druggie school," Scalia dubbed a hypothetical institution of learning to which the parents of Tecumseh, OK, student Lindsay Earls would presumably prefer to send her. Neither Cassell's ruling nor Scalia's was made in the context of a drug case.
But if Scalia falls short on some of the issues we care about, he has held fast to one very important principle this time -- the right to a trial by jury, in the full spirit of what that should mean. And he has done so in the face of credible warnings from fellow conservative Justice Sandra Day O'Connor of the radical change, and considerable turmoil, that his finding is likely to presage.
Perhaps other justices will hold true to another principle of demonstrated importance to them, the notion that the Constitution's Interstate Commerce Clause does not authorize the federal government to do everything they might desire. Also in non-drug cases, a majority faction of the Supreme Court has rolled back federal power on this basis. Late last year the 9th Circuit applied that logic to throw out federal statute law criminalizing non-commercial, local medical use and distribution of marijuana in the historic Raich v. Ashcroft case. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the Bush administration's appeal of that ruling. If five or more justices stay consistent to their previous views on the limits of federal power, the results will have serious political ramifications and potentially undermine drug prohibition at the federal level itself.
Only time will tell how the Supreme Court will decide on Raich v. Ashcroft, and discerning how much further a positive ruling could serve to undo drug laws would take even more time. And the ramifications of last week's ruling, while clearly major, are also uncertain in their extent. For example, the Court could decide in a future case that sentencing guidelines or mandatory minimum sentences, even harsh ones, can be constitutional if applied in a procedure that relies on juries to establish the facts as used during sentencing hearings. But that doesn't seem to be what experts are predicting from this, at least not all of them.
And even if that happens, it will also take time. In the meanwhile, judges around the country, already incensed by the undermining of their sentencing discretion and the sheer draconian length of many drug sentences, now have rulings from the highest levels of the bench to justify them not merely in departing from harsh guideline sentences, but even in ignoring them entirely. By the time a different ruling could be made to start to turn things back, literally tens if not hundreds of thousands of defendants could have challenged their sentences, and in many cases gained relief. As expensive and tumultuous as the ruling may be for the courts now, changing things back may turn out to be equally expensive and tumultuous by that time, and the actions of numerous judges responding to those petitions, and ruling in new cases, will have permanently altered the terms of the debate.
Other forces are also serving to alter the debate. Though last week's ruling saw the Court split 5-4, of the four justices taking the dissenting view, at least two of them have spoken out against mandatory minimum sentencing for reasons other than constitutionality, Chief Justice William Rehnquist and Justice Anthony Kennedy. Kennedy has become a veritable champion for ending mandatory minimums, most recently lending his name to an American Bar Association committee which last week called for that. Whether through judicial pronouncement or legislative reform, an overwhelming majority of the Court wants change.
Bad timing on the part of Rep. James Sensenbrenner, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, who just offered a bill to seriously increase mandatory minimum sentencing 2½ weeks ago. He must feel on the backside of history this time. Given the serious constitutional questions the Supreme Court and other judges have raised since then about this kind of lawmaking, the responsible thing for him to do would be to withdraw his bill. Of course, if he were responsible about these things then he would have respected the views of judges and analysts more than he does, and never introduced it in the first place. But we'll let that go, if he'll let the bill go.
The conventional wisdom in drug policy reform has been that we won't win this in the courts, right as we may be, at least not at the federal level. The courts are to some degree political animals and are subject to the currents of popular opinion. I have largely ascribed to this in the past, even though I think the legal efforts are worthwhile and important, but now I'm rethinking that view. Though it's true that most judges, including most judges on the Supreme Court, will probably not stand up for all the necessary first principles at the level needed to undo the drug laws, maybe that much isn't necessary. Maybe it's enough for one or two key justices to stand up for one principle, and another one or two to stand up for a different one, for the whole thing to ultimately unravel. It may be that the drug war is so flawed in legal and ethical terms that it is inevitable for it to collapse under its own weight regardless.
Perhaps in the long run the Constitution will actually work -- even for drugs!

We all know that good oral health is an imperative to keeping your teeth free of cavities, your breath smelling fresh, and of course, warding off effects of gum disease.
However, one oral health technique often overlooked is flossing. Even though your dentist in Dallas, Texas, will ask you during each checkup how often you floss, only four in ten Americans floss on a regular basis – once a day.
Flossing is important to great oral health, and as we lay out its benefits we hope to encourage you to become better at flossing.
Flossing is first and foremost the best way to remove debris stuck between your teeth. From bits of food to most anything else, it's easy to end up with debris lodged in hard-to-reach places. If you leave it there, it can cause cavities, tooth decay, and even gum disease.
When you brush your teeth, only about 65% of a tooth's surface is cleaned with your brush. Flossing with clean the other 35%, and more importantly, floss helps clean up plaque around your gum line. If you let plaque accumulate, you can end up with gingivitis and tooth decay. Flossing – a very simple activity – prevents all of that from happening.
As you can see, flossing is hugely beneficial to your oral health. If you have questions about flossing, please don't hesitate to call us today at 972.616.0060.


This is not a drill! Chrissy Teigen is officially launching the Cravings by Chrissy Teigen collection, available exclusively at Target stores and online starting on Sept. 30. Foodies will be delighted to know they can purchase all of the essentials that Chrissy uses to prep, cook, and serve her delicious dishes.
"I've never been so nervous excited in my life. I cannot believe I can finally say this is happening!!! Thank you for welcoming me and my entire family, Target fam," the model captioned her announcement on Sept. 13. "I truly can't believe any of this is happening and can't wait for you all to see it," Chrissy wrote in another tweet. Shoppers are in for a major treat, since they'll be able to choose from items like cutlery, glassware, and pitchers.
Chrissy also has a history with Target, as her very first modeling gig was a swimsuit campaign for the store! "I remember they cast a younger girl as my little sister," she revealed during an interview on Target's Web site. "We shot the campaign in an inflatable above-ground pool and I pretended my 'little sister' was spraying me with a hose." Aside from being a successful model, Chrissy is also a two-time cookbook author, television host, social media sensation, and a mother-of-two. But now, she can add lifestyle guru to her resume!
The model, 32, says her precious daughter Luna is a huge fan of the store and "is a once-a-week Target shopper," according to Target's website. As far as her son goes, "Miles has yet to go on his first Target adventure, but we will definitely be popping into random Targets across the country when we hit the road for John's tour!" Fans can already feel a hole in their pockets after hearing about Chrissy's highly anticipated kitchen and tabletop collection.
Chrissy even revealed which item she thinks is a "must have" and it might surprise you. "I have so many knives in my own kitchen, but always found myself gravitating towards my 7-inch chef's and serrated knives. I always wished they would morph into one, so we did just that," Chrissy dished. There's even more to look forward to, because on Sept. 18, Target will also be releasing a special edition of Cue Cravings: Hungry for More with exclusive recipes.

What kind of f**kery is this?
That four letter world that begins with an 'f' and ends with a 'k', seems to be the favorite word of, well, most Americans these days.
F-off, F-you, F-this, F-that, or my particular favorite when reading the 'news' each day…F-me, these are just a sampling of the ingenious ways Americans express themselves each and every day.
Rather than a respectful exchange of ideas or civilized debate about the issues, rather than engaging in conversation that is, at least, decent – the stupidity of the public at large is gloriously displayed with the use of one word to either start, expound upon, or end any conversation that one might have a differing view with a fellow 'conversationalist'.
What is more fascinating than the use of F-bombs by the average Joe, Hollywood, media, government and other political mensa's, is that the human race, as a whole, is still here to argue…about anything, let alone tell someone they don't agree with to F-off.
Not much has been learned since the whole comedy started. We're still at war, with almost everyone, still neglect the poor among us, still give hearty handshakes and slaps on the back to slithering shysters whom we think will one day does us right, still lose our wits by adoring the ever-present nutjob ahead of us on the totem pole or those pretending to be someone on the screen we never set down – life remains one continual adoration of idiocy.
So it really is no surprise that 'f**k' is the favorite word of the mob who won't take a moment to seek the truth, who won't even consider something beyond what they've been programmed to believe – whether left, right or in between. Discovery of anything outside our personal worldview can be a frightening thing. Much easier to tell a friend or foe to F-off, dismissing anything that doesn't revel in the learned idiocies many continue to hold onto.
So much the creator gave to us to be explored. So many good avenues to travel upon and discover, yet most choose the easiest yet most destructive paths of ignorance and fear to spend a lifetime traveling down.
Maybe easier in this day and age to tell the world and nearly everyone in it to F-off. Easier indeed, but truth, knowledge, wisdom, patience, compassion, kindness and love are left along side the road of ignorance and fear.

The last article of this 4-part series treats the 20th century. In the first half of this century Gustav Mahler used the organ in symphonies II & VIII. Organ parts can also be found in orchestral works of Richard Strauss, Gustav Holst, Leos Janáček, and Max Bruch. The article discusses the 'Symphony for Organ and Orchestra' of Aaron Copland, 'Kammermusik 7' of Paul Hindemith, and the 'Concerto en Sol mineur' of Francis Poulenc. The use of organs in operas is briefly discussed.
It is observed that interest in concert organs has increased in foreign countries since 2000. Examples are the organs in concert halls in Montréal (Maison Symphonique), Paris (Philharmonie), and Hamburg (Elbphilharmonie).
The epilog concludes that since 1850 some 400 works have been composed for organ and orchestra, but that only a very small number is performed. In conclusion an overview is given of performances in the Concertgebouw since the restoration van the Maarschalkerweerd organ. The article ends with the conclusion that the organ is currently viewed as a valuable orchestral instrument, and that the hall-organ after 1850 has gained its own musical place, with repertoire that was specifically composed for the concert room.

Tommy Robinson jailed for contempt of court
TOMMY Robinson has been jailed for contempt of court over a video he broadcast on social media which featured defendants in a criminal trial.
The English Defence League (EDL) founder, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was handed a nine-month sentence at the Old Bailey today.
Dame Victoria Sharp told Robinson that the time he previously spent behind bars for the contempt will be taken into account, reducing his sentence to 19 weeks — of which he will serve half before being released.
Robinson, aged 36, of Luton, Bedfordshire, was found to have committed contempt of court on Friday, following a two-day High Court hearing held at the Old Bailey.
Dame Victoria and Mr Justice Warby found Robinson was in contempt in three respects when he filmed men accused of the sexual exploitation of young girls and live-streamed the footage on Facebook, in breach of a reporting ban, outside Leeds Crown Court in May 2018.
Giving reasons for the contempt finding on Tuesday, Dame Victoria said Robinson encouraged "vigilante action" in the video, which lasted an hour-and-a-half and was viewed online 250,000 times on the morning of the broadcast.
Throughout the Old Bailey hearing last Thursday and Friday, Robinson denied any wrongdoing, saying he did not believe he was breaching reporting restrictions and only referred to information that was already in the public domain.
But Dame Victoria and Mr Justice Warby found he was in contempt by breaching the reporting restriction imposed on the trial, by live-streaming the video from outside the public entrance to the court and by "aggressively confronting and filming" some of the defendants.
Robinson broadcast the footage while the jury in the second of a series of linked grooming trials was considering its verdict.
The video was eventually viewed 3.4 million times after being shared following his arrest.
A reporting restriction was in place which postponed the publication of any details of the case until the end of all the trials involving 29 people, in a bid to ensure all defendants received a fair trial.
Robinson was jailed for 13 months after being found in contempt of court on the day of the broadcast.
He served 10 weeks in jail before being freed after the original finding of contempt was overturned by the Court of Appeal in August 2018.
But the case was then referred back to the Attorney General, who announced in March that it was in the public interest to bring fresh proceedings against Robinson.
Dame Victoria and Mr Justice Warby gave permission for the Attorney General to bring a new case against Robinson at a hearing in May.

Ask DWM: Which Account Type Should I Use?
Traditional or Rollover Individual Retirement Account is also referred to as a regular IRA. It is available to those under age 70 ½ who have earned income (as opposed to passive income). Earnings grow tax-deferred until withdrawal, which must begin when the owner reaches age 70 ½. In 2015, the contribution limit is $5,500 for individuals under 50; $6,500 for those 50 or better. Contributions may be tax deductible, depending on if you or your spouse are covered by a retirement plan at work and your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI).
Roth or Roth Conversion Individual Retirement Account is a non-deductible IRA in which qualified distributions (withdrawals) are not taxable. A distribution is considered qualified if it meets any of these criteria: the owner is over 59 ½, it is paid to a beneficiary after the owner's death, if the owner is disabled, or it is used to acquire a principal residence (if the owner is a first-time homebuyer). Annual contribution limits are reduced by any contribution made to a traditional IRA and are limited based on MAGI. Contributions may be made even if the owner is over 70 ½. Traditional IRAs may be transferred to a Roth Conversion IRA at any income level. Transferred amounts, whether or not taxable, must be included in that year's tax return, and the money transferred will be exempt from the 10% penalty for a withdrawal prior to age 59 ½.
Spousal IRA is either a Traditional or Roth IRA funded by a married taxpayer in the name of his or her nonworking spouse. The couple must file a joint tax return in the year of the contribution. The working spouse may contribute up to $5,500 per year ($6,500 if over 50) in 2015 to both their IRA and their spouse's IRA up to the earned income amount of the wage earner. The deductibility of the contribution is based on MAGI and other factors.
Individual accounts have a single owner, who is the beneficiary and the only person who has control of the account. Transfer on Death (TOD) or Payable on Death (POD) allows an owner to appoint a beneficiary to receive all or a portion of his/her share upon their death. This avoids probate because it allows for the transfer of assets without being included in the estate, thus it can be a helpful estate planning tool.
Joint accounts have two or more adult owners named on the account. Each person has some degree of control over the account. All the owners must sign a joint account agreement form, and the account is designated as either Tenants in Common (TIC) or Joint Tenants With Right of Survivorship (JTWROS). In either type of account, any or all owners may conduct business in the account. If the account is registered under TIC ownership, the tenant's (co-owner's) estate retains his/her fractional share upon death and is not passed on to the surviving owners. These accounts do not necessarily give equal interests to each owner. On the other hand, JTWROS accounts stipulate that a deceased tenant's share passes to the remaining owners. All owners have equal control over the account.
Trust accounts are available for all kinds of trusts, revocable or non-revocable, and are set up to manage the assets of the trust. The trustee is the fiduciary who is tasked with preserving the trust assets and making them productive. However, depending on the trust agreement, they may or may not be limited in their ability to use margin, calls, puts, short sales, and other speculative instruments.
Partnership accounts involve an unincorporated association of two or more people. Partnerships often open various types of accounts necessary for business purposes. A partnership agreement must be completed specifying which individuals are allowed to make transactions in the account. If the partnership opens a margin account, they must disclose any investment limitations. If any changes are made, an annual amended partnership agreement must be made. This is similar to a corporate resolution.
Corporate accounts must include a corporate resolution (among other documentation), authorizing the opening of the account, and identifying which members of the company may trade in the account.
Fiduciary and Custodial accounts are trust accounts. In these accounts someone other than the owner conducts the trades. The manager or trustee is the fiduciary. Money or securities are placed in the account for the benefit of another person, usually a minor, and is managed by the fiduciary, who must act in the best interest of the owner. Fiduciaries include: trustees, executors of a will, administrators, guardians, parents, and custodians.
Power of Attorney may be added to an account to authorize a person not named on the account to have trading or other authority. The account owner must file a written authorization called a Power of Attorney with the custodian to give that person access to the account. This authorization may be full or partial.
And that's not an exhaustive list by far. Also, the information shown above is general in nature. We recommend you discuss legal matters regarding account selection with your attorney and tax provisions with your CPA. Of course, when opening a new account DWM will discuss the pros and cons of appropriate options with you. You won't have to have all this memorized- but a little bit of background knowledge is always a good thing.
Ask DWM: What Does the Fed's Decision Last Week Mean?
That's a very important and good question.
Last week the Federal Reserve decided to hold rates steady. The uncertainty as to when they will raise rates has been extended to at least October and, if not then, to December or beyond. A Fed rate hike has been in the air since March when the Fed removed the word "patient" from its press release, signaling it could increase rates for the first time in nine years. Rates were reduced to zero in 2008 during the financial crisis and haven't moved since.
This uncertainty has made markets very skittish. After a January and February when all asset classes were up, March through July was flat overall. Since the week after July 4th, the S&P 500 has alternated between weekly declines and gains for 11 consecutive weeks. China's devaluation of the yuan in August (see the DWM blog) and the related concerns about its growth and that of emerging markets, caused a 6-7% pullback in stocks in August.
As we have pointed out previously, investors hate uncertainty. It's interesting though. History shows us that equities typically do well during the tightening cycle (raising of rates by the Fed) and a year after the initial rate rise. (This is based on results in seven different time periods from 1983 to 2004). Hence, the uncertainty may be more disruptive to the markets than the actual tightening (raising of rates).
It's valuable to look at the Fed's decision and related statements in greater detail. They did acknowledge the U.S. economy is expanding at a "moderate pace" with "solid job gains and declining unemployment." There is concern, however, about global growth. China, which has been growing at double digits, is now expected to be 6.8%. And other emerging market countries are struggling, particularly those whose income comes from oil and commodities. A decade ago, China accounted for 9% of the world GDP, now it's 16%. Emerging markets overall now account for 57% of world GDP, up from 46% in 2004. We're all interconnected, so lower worldwide economic growth impacts business earnings and stock valuations.
The other key factor is that inflation has failed to reach the 2% Fed target the last three years. Furthermore, the Fed doesn't expect it to get there until 2018. What the Fed is trying to do is gradually raise rates at just the right time(s) before inflation hits 2% such that there will be a nice "soft landing" near 2% without the economy heating up and pushing inflation up too much and too quickly. At the same time, if the Fed raises rates too quickly and causes the economy to cool down, inflation could decline or even move to deflation, which we want to avoid.
Based upon the statements from the Fed officials last week and other recent data, it appears likely we may have lower worldwide economic growth and low inflation for at least a few years. Plus we will need to continue to endure the uncertainty of when the Fed will raise rates. October? December? Next year? What does all of this likely mean for investment returns?
First, nominal investment returns are likely continue to be lower than historical values. Historically, since 1970, stocks have grown at an annual rate of almost 9% while inflation has been a little more than 4% per year. Hence, there has been a 5% real return earned by risking money and investing in stocks. For the same time period, bonds returned 6%, or a 2% real return.
Mathematically, therefore, if inflation is 2%, it is very likely that a diversified all-equity portfolio might earn 7% and returns on a diversified bond portfolio might be 4%. And, if economic growth is low or stagnant, that pushes valuations down and lowers returns as well.
Nominal returns for all of us are under pressure from three sources; low inflation, slowing global growth and Fed uncertainty. We can't control any of those. What we need to do is focus on real returns, not nominal returns. And, we need to make sure our financial planning and investment return expectations for the next few years are based on lower inflation and lower nominal returns.
We're happy to chat about this important topic at any time. Give us a call.
We hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend. Perhaps some time with the family, a barbeque, some physical activity and maybe a great beverage or two. Labor Day is one of my favorite holidays. It marks the end of summer and start of fall, including kids returning to school and another season of college and NFL football games. It's also a reflective time, when many people take a look at their life and review where they are and where they want to be.
A couple of weeks ago, the WSJ ran an article entitled, "On Gauging the Pursuit of Happiness." It included the most recent edition of the World Happiness Report. The six most important metrics Gallup used to gauge happiness are GDP, life expectancy, generosity, social support, freedom and corruption. In addition, the researchers posed two questions. First, they asked people about their emotional experience the previous day- were they happy, angry, or stressed? Second, they asked respondents to rate their life as a whole on a scale of 0 to 10. How would you have responded?
The U.S., while #1 in overall GDP, is eighth in GDP per capita. Norway, Switzerland, Australia, Sweden, Denmark all are wealthier than us on a per person level. In terms of happiness, however, America ranked 15th, behind Switzerland, Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Canada, Finland, New Zealand and even Mexico. We performed well in GDP but weaker in the other variables.
Countries, including the U.S., are now starting to measure well-being. In 2011, the United Nations adopted a resolution encouraging member states to measure happiness and economic well-being. The U.K. systemically collects data on well-being. Our Labor Department Bureau of Labor Statistics has included well-being questions in its American Time Use Survey. And, lots more is happening at the local level.
Santa Monica, CA, won a $1 million award to develop a well-being project aimed at increasing trust and connectedness among residents. Apparently it is working- Santa Monica residents are even filling potholes these days.
Businesses are joining in as well. Certainly companies have for decades cited lofty mission statements as proof they are interested in more than just net income. And now, workers of all types are demanding more meaning from their careers as work simply takes too much of their time; with longer hours, more competitive pressures and IT "advancements" keeping them tethered to work 24/7. In many cases, employees are not looking for a job but, rather a higher calling. For them, it's about the purpose, not the task.
And, finally, we take a look at the great number of older Americans that are continuing to work. Average retirement ages are climbing and nearly 50% of baby boomers expect to work until 66 or beyond. Certainly, for many, it's an economic necessity. However, driving the trend of not retiring are highly educated workers in professional-services jobs who are staying there by choice, rather than economic reasons. In some cases, they may continue working (either for pay or as a volunteer) because they believe they are changing the world. However, for most, it is their passion and commitment to stay involved, stay current and make a difference that brings them happiness.
As we all start the fall, we hope that you, if asked, would rate your life and well-being (including happiness, health and prosperity) as a 10, or very near a 10. At DWM, our passion isn't about changing the entire world, but rather helping each of our clients achieve their highest possible state of well-being. It's our higher calling and passion 365 days a year. Here's to you and your life and making it a 10.
Ask DWM: I'm Getting a New Vehicle. Should I Buy or Lease?
The answer really depends on what the effective rate is (lease vs purchase), how long you typically keep your car, and total miles you drive annually.
If you like to get a new car every 3 years or so, you should consider a lease.
If you put over 15,000 miles per year on your car, avoid a lease as there can be penalties for mileage beyond that. On the flipside if you drive very low miles, e.g. less than 7,500 miles per year, you most likely would be better off buying, as your vehicle would be worth more than the vehicle "residual value" at lease-end.
Beyond the generalities, you should also look at the buying effective interest rate and the leasing effective interest rate as they are not always the same. Many times car companies will offer incentives one way or another.
One of the most important tips is to have a figure in mind of what you want and what you want to pay before you go to the dealership. The automotive industry is so goofy with pricing – MSRP may be 5%+ more than what others are actually paying – so do your homework using Emdunds.com or some other car site where you can actually "build" the car to your liking and get the "true" price of that vehicle. Furthermore, there are still "bad guys" in that industry that cannot be trusted, so paying attention to detail is important or they'll take more than their fair share from you. Don't let them pull the "how much can you afford?" trick.
Next big tip is to negotiate your deal to buy the vehicle assuming you will be using cash for the purchase. Hopefully, the negotiated price is close to the "true" price identified in your research. Then, once you have established this number, have the dealer give you pricing if, instead, you lease the car or you finance the purchase. This will give you the information to determine the effective cost of financing or leasing or whether buying for cash may be best. Note: Do your own interest rate calculation or have us do it. Dealer stated rate can be deceptive and incorrect.
Certified, pre-driven vehicles usually are more bang for the buck. It is true that the minute you drive a NEW car off the lot, it depreciates significantly! With a certified, pre-driven vehicle, you aren't paying the "new car premium", but you are still getting a low mileage car which carries a nice warranty.
Go online and compare the pending lease or purchase. There are lots of sites out there to compare and analyze. We like Lease Guide.
Getting a new vehicle is fun, but can also be a challenging process. Deciding whether to lease or purchase is just one of the hurdles. If you need any assistance during your process, please give us a call. We're happy to help!

Google Pixel 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S20: Price and Availability, Design and Camera
The Google Pixel 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S20 are two of the foremost position flagship phones of 2020. From two of the most important names within the smartphone business.
If you were to pick out one phone to represent the full Android platform, both of those phones would have a decent shot.
Samsung makes the foremost popular and feature-packed Android phones on the market. While Google is the creator of Android itself.

Google Pixel 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S20
Because of these facts, you would possibly expect the Pixel 5 and also the Galaxy S20 to produce similar offerings. However, they take remarkably different routes to Android excellence.
Google Pixel 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S20 Price and Availability
As is Samsung's won't, the Samsung Galaxy S20 was one of the earliest flagship contenders of 2020. Having landed in stores way back on March 6, following a February announcement.
Google arrived typically late to the party with its own flagship phone, with the Pixel 5 made available on October 15.
You'd expect this 7-month split to manifest in an exceedingly technological advantage for the Pixel. But as we'll persist to debate, that's not the case in the least.
In pricing terms, the Samsung Galaxy S20's starting RRP stands at £799/ AU$1,349. Instead, US customers got the 5G-ready Samsung Galaxy S20, which landed at precisely the same time with an RRP of £899 / $999.99 / AU$1,499.
At the time of writing, as an example, Samsung is selling the plain S20 at an important discount of £639.20 in the UK.
While it's not even available on the Samsung Australia website. Neither Samsung US nor Amazon seems to own any SIM-free Samsung Galaxy S20 5G units available without delay either.
That UK price actually brings the Galaxy S20 fairly near the Pixel 5, which remains to sell for $699 / £599 / AU$999 from the official Google Store.
Google Pixel 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S20 Design
The differences between Google's and Samsung's approach become apparent as soon as you examine and handle both phones.
Samsung Galaxy S20 is that the archetypal modern flagship phone, with glass surfaces and a shiny aluminum rim. Both front and rear edges melt away gently into the frame, though much but before, leading to fewer false presses.
Conversely, the Pixel 5 looks and feels rather utilitarian, with a dead-flat display and an all-metal body running counter to the fashionable flagship playbook. It's a more resilient-feeling phone as a result, but a less luxurious one.
Something that's exacerbated by a matte-like finish that creates it feel a touch sort of high-grade plastic.
If we're talking comparisons, the Galaxy S20 is sort of a touch taller (151.7mm vs 144.7mm) and heavier (163g vs 151g) than the Pixel 5, but also fractionally narrower (69.1mm vs 70.4mm) and thinner (7.9mm vs 8mm).
While Samsung has gone with an in-display fingerprint sensor, leaving the shiny back unmarked (aside from the camera sensor), Google has equipped its phone with an old-fashioned rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.

Google Pixel 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S20 Display
Samsung makes the most effective smartphone displays within the business, and therefore there really isn't any contest between the Google Pixel 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S20 when it involves screen quality.
They're similarly compact by modern standards, with the Pixel 5 at 6 inches and also the Galaxy S20 at 6.2 inches. Both are OLED. And produce lots of vibrant color with decent brightness.
But the Samsung Galaxy S20 goes further in an exceeding number of respects. For one thing, it's capable of getting much sharper with the choice of a WQHD+ (1440 x 3200) resolution. While Pixel 5 is cursed with FHD+ (1080 x 2340).
Google Pixel 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S20 Camera
Google has long taken an uncommonly spartan approach to camera hardware. Preferring to create advances through its formidable image processing algorithms.
That approach largely continues with the Pixel 5, which sticks with the most 12.2MP Sony Exmor IMX363 sensor that's been in use for several years.
However, now around it's added a second camera into the combination within the variety of a fanatical 16MP 107-degree ultra-wide. Google Pixel 4 had an optical camera lens instead.
Google's photography lead has eroded by quite a lot in recent years, so while the Pixel 5 still takes good pictures. It's not markedly better than its rivals – including the Samsung Galaxy S20.
The Pixel 5 excels in low light where it captures impressively accurate colors. Its ultra-wide lens also creates plenty less distortion at the perimeters than images captured with similar lenses on other phones.
Google's built-in image editing software is among the simplest within the business, too.
While Google's camera strength lies in its software, Samsung's is in hardware. The Samsung Galaxy S20 packs in three cameras: a 12MP wide, 64MP telephoto, and 12MP ultra-wide.
That high-megapixel telephoto provides lossless 3x zoomed shots, which the Pixel 5 can't get anywhere nearby.
What's more, the most sensor is far larger than the Pixel 5's, producing huge 1.8 µm pixels next to the Pixel 5's 1.4μm. this suggests that it captures lighter than its rival, and doesn't need to work that limited image data quite so hard.
Google Pixel 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S20 Battery
The Samsung Galaxy S20 encompasses a 4,000mAh battery, while the Google Pixel 5 incorporates a 4,080mAh cell.
That's a rare similarity. Both are good for a full day of moderate to heavy usage with plenty to spare, and both phones have advanced battery saver modes for when things get a touch hairy.
Overall, though, the Pixel 5 lasts longer on one charge. you'll be able to probably thank the mix of a smaller, less demanding 90Hz display and a more efficient processor for this.
Both phones support reverse wireless charging too, so you'll be able to both charge wirelessly and charge other devices wirelessly through them.
In speed terms, the Galaxy S20 does things faster. It supports 15W wireless charging versus the Pixel 5's 12W and 25W wired charging against the Pixel 5's 18W. More research can be done on Google.

This is a busy gas station. It has just one small entrance/exit that can back up for a bit of a wait. It has a McDonalds and a big bathroom. Don't make my mistake and buy air for $1.50. The next exit East has two large, newer, gas station with plenty of access and mininal wait time.
This Pilot is very hard to get in to and out of. They are always under staffed in the mornings. McDonalds inside is slow and gets your order wrong almost every time I go there. On the bright side they have new pumps, but they still ask for a reward card before you can pay at the pump causing just more time spent there.
This is a great location. We stopped to use the restroom while we were travelling to Dallas. I was looking for the Cinnabon counter when I walked in but they don't have one. The restrooms were clean and smelled great.

Lotus F1 Team Driving Renault Twizy Inside the Dubai Mall
Posted by The Hotspotorlando a Digital Media Platform on December 1, 2014
Just days before the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Formula One drivers Romain Grosjean and Pastor Maldonado, who drive for the Renault-powered Lotus F1 Team, electrified the world's largest shopping and entertainment destination through 100% electric vehicle, Renault Twizy.
Renault has teamed up with Formula 1 drivers and The Dubai Mall to make an original film featuring Renault Twizy, a car which uses technology from the world of Formula One. Avant-garde design, fun to drive and easy to recharge, Twizy is the first electric car available in the U.A.E.
Through the electrically-powered car the drivers raced down the alleys of The Dubai Mall, while visitors were gazing at the unusual scenes. From the Fountains to the Aquarium and even the ice rink, drivers went around iconic places of the famous Mall.
Renault Twizy has definitely charmed Lotus F1 drivers and the visitors of The Dubai Mall!
Watch the full video: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cNutP2xe3QQ
The Renault Twizy uses technology from the world of Formula One
Renault Sport F1 and Technologies has contributed extensively to the birth of the
Renault Twizy. From the very beginning of the concept, its mission was to imagine an
ultramobile for two (TWIN) which was both intuitive and simple to use (EASY). Twizy took
form at the heart of Renault's motorsport division. From the initial briefs for the
chassis and performance characteristics which were drawn up by Renault Sport Technologies,
to the tuning of its motor and reliability running on the same dynos as the F1 team's
engines, the Twizy's development was in expert hands. In addition to the strengths
concealed by the model's unusual forms, this distillation of technology features active
and passive safety systems worthy of the newcomer's Renault heritage. Thanks to its light
weight (450kg, including batteries), the surprising acceleration of its electric motor
(13kW, 57Nm) and the opportunity it offers for driving in the open air without a helmet,
the Twizy is a unique concept – which is poised to make its natural environment – built-up
areas – even cleaner and safer places…
Renault in Formula 1
Present in Formula 1 since 1977, Renault has won 12 Constructors' World Titles and 11
Drivers' World Titles, plus more than 200 pole positions and 150 wins as an engine
supplier. The current power plant, the Renault RS27, is a 750bhp V8 engine, in use since
2007. The engine is supplied to four partner teams – Infiniti Red Bull Racing, Lotus F1
Team, Caterham F1 Team and Williams F1 Team.
In 2012, this quartet scored 9 wins and a total of 839 points, with Infiniti Red Bull
Racing securing both the Drivers' and Constructors' championships. In the Indian Grand
Prix, Sebastian Vettel and Infiniti Red Bull Racing secured a fourth consecutive double
title, only the third team in F1 to have done so.

Review of Robert J. Landry in Variety
Run-of-Repertory Ripsnorter
Met Opera's 'L'Elisir d'amore' Packs Punch of Broadway Musical
Nowadays a certain amount of intellectual "lip service" is paid to the ideal of repertory, of which new American examples are in prospect. Meanwhile the Metropolitan Opera is almost alone in operating under this expensive and occasionally ponderous system of presentation. Few remember to remark that its run-of-season average is pretty consistently high. Seldom does the Met fall on its face. How really fine it can be on occasion was displayed last Friday (25) when Gaetano Donizetti's great opera buffa, "L'Elisir d'amore" was restored to repertory after 10 years' absence.
Redesigned, restaged and, of course, re-cast it immediately assumed stature on several counts. First, it was a triumph of repertory, an opera with the zing, pace and bounce of a hit Broadway musical. Second, it was positively infectious, creating an audience warmth and enthusiasm which is rare indeed in any opera house. Thirdly, adding up all the factors, this was a crashing lesson that opera can be downright entertaining, without a dull moment.
The success of this venture in "lightness" lies in the fact that the score is one of the sheerest sing-ingest sessions ever assigned a cast of five principals. Again and again there are prolonged opportunities to sing their heads off. Add that the 1832 libretto of Felice Romani stands time's passage remarkably well, in no way denying the very evident freshening implicit in the new stage direction of Nathaniel Merrill, the simply, compactly and imaginatively engineered sets of Robert O'Hearn and the numerous nice little dancing (not ballet) touches of Todd Bolender.
An element of personal excitement was added to the first performance by the debut of Dino Formichini as Nemorino, after Ceasar Valletti conked out on illness. At first glimpse the new-comer did not seem prepossessing. He wore the usual elevator foot- wear of the short Italian tenor. His costume was difficult. But as he began to sing there was a pleasant surprise and when he began to act it was even more agreeable - he achieved characterization. Formichini certainly had himself a fine night, even though he was distinctly better in the first act than in the second, and did not altogether master [first] night occasional constriction of pipes. He came a stranger. He ended with an ovation. He carries now the promise of being possibly the Met's finest tenor promise in seasons.
Meanwhile as the medicine show man (Merrill brings him on stage in a balloon, a delightful inspiration) the Met's regular, Fernando Corena, was giving a performance of superb gusto combined with impeccable restraint. Never descending to hokum, yet thoroughly comic, Corena may well be hailed this season, as George London was three years ago, as "opera's best actor." The point, of course, is that he was first the completely masterful musician in the part and hence free to be so much more.
Elizabeth Söderström sang Adina with vocal sweetness and accuracy. The two lesser roles were entrusted to Mildred Allen and Frank Guarrera, both very pro. Fausto Cleva a generous man when audience applause holds up the proceedings, was on the baton. As to that, one may ask, how often does the audience want to hold up the proceedings?
One of the disadvantages of repertory is that fine nights get lost in the general rotation of all sorts and kinds of performances. There will be many grateful spectators to spread the word of mouth about the happy return of "L'Elisir d' amore." This reviewer would add a small scoffing noise for the effort the Met squandered in recent seasons on "La Pericole" and "The Gypsy Barron," the one based on a donkey and Cyril Ritchard and the other based on a pig and Walter Slezak. Moral: it's better when the leading man is a singer!

Mega Sena results are one of the most awaited Lotto results in Brazil. Started in 1961 by Caixa Economica Federal Bank, it is very popular not only in Brazil but also globally. The Lottery has also become a major Brazilian benefactor because funds raised are used for a number of social benefits around the country. Just like in many other major Lotteries, the jackpots that aren't won get rolled over every time, increasing the fund considerably. Mega Sena has a different drawing system in place, with the numbers drawn from two different drums. It also has an exceptional Super Draw (Mega da Virada), which takes place once every year and is open to players across the globe. In 2014, Mega Sena recorded its biggest jackpot win, a whopping $263.29 million! Bet on Mega Sena here at multilotto.
Players don't have to be living in Brazil to enjoy the Mega Sena Lotto. They can get their bet slips online from anywhere around the world. Gameplay is simple, and players should pick 6 numbers between 01 and 60. If players match all the 6 numbers picked, they win the Mega Sena jackpot. The draw takes place on every Wednesday and Saturday each week. However, Mega Sena is a bit different from other conventional Lotteries as its number drawing system is unique. This Lotto has two separate drums, one containing 0 to 5 numbers and the other containing 0 to 9 numbers. For each main number, there are two balls drawn. The exception is that if two zeros are drawn, it is considered as the number 60. Players who want to increase their chances of being the next millionaire can choose up to 15 Mega Sena Lottery numbers for a single draw. However, the price of the bet keeps increasing exponentially with the number of chosen numbers. The Mega Sena results, apart from the jackpot, offer two more prize tiers for matching 5 and 4 numbers exactly. Contestants can also opt to enjoy via 'Suepresinha,' which will randomly pick the numbers on their behalf.
5% of all funds raised every year get assigned to a special New Year's draw. This means that the New Year jackpot can get incredibly huge at times. To enjoy in this mega jackpot, you will need to pick 6 numbers, just like in the normal Mega Sena. Over the years, Mega Sena results have produced numerous millionaires, not only in South America but across the globe. In 1999 an extremely lucky player won a staggering $64.9 million. Even though no one has won that kind of amount since another player won $53.1 million in 2008. 54% of the Lottery income, after all the winners are paid, goes into the administrative costs of the Lottery. The remainder goes to social services. Winnings below $800 can be claimed at the Lotto house itself, whereas amounts bigger than that should be claimed via Caixa Econômica Federal Bank.
Mega Sena results are published by several sites. Only a handful of these sites can deliver quality results at lightning speed. Multilotto is dedicated to conducting in-depth research so that credible information relating to Lottery results is always available to the players. Multilotto results are fast, accurate and reliable. A strong team of experts back this site making it a go-to site for every Lotto lover. Participants of the Mega Sena Lottery and other major global Lotteries can always be assured of getting up-to-date Lottery Results information.

You can also get an opinion of an expert from this site if you wish to pick your numbers before the D-day.
Most of the countries around the world conduct Lotteries with huge jackpots to be won. Millions of people take part in these draws. There is no denying that while many people hope to win big, they also bet because it is fun. Consequently, this makes Lotteries extremely popular. Multilotto understands the importance of the results of such life-changing Lotteries, especially Mega Sena results. Multilotto carefully analyses many of the other Lotteries and the results that produce big winners. It covers popular names such as Powerball, which has so far awarded over $1.6 billion in winnings since it was started. Poland Lotto is another big Lottery which attracts many players from all over the world. It is popular mainly because of the mega jackpot prizes it offers and the frequency of its draws.
If a player can match all the 6 numbers exactly, they will win the jackpot! Poland Lotto offers very attractive second-tier prizes too. Even if a player is only able to match 3 or 4 numbers, they could still win a prize. In 2015, a player from Ziebice won a staggering PLN 35 million. Multilotto also covers smaller lotteries with modest jackpots as well, giving all players a fair chance to participate in the events. Players can rely on Multilotto experts to provide the latest information about their favourite Lotto. Mega Sena results are among the most sought-after, and players have the opportunity to compare results with other Lotteries such as SuperEnaLotto and Euromillions.
Is Mega Sena Worth Playing?

The events in the series take place in Atlantic City, but occasionally short scenes from other cities of the country are shown. Of course, Atlantic City was a very important and active city at that time. It is even described as the most relaxed city in the world, as politicians and gangsters play dirty and dangerous games between them.
