The Singapore summit was a triumph for the North Korean leader

For a man who has declared bankruptcy for his businesses no fewer than six times, Donald Trump takes inordinate pride in his deal-making skills. He was bragging about those skills again in Singapore as he prepared for an historic sit down with North Korea's Kim Jong-un. A few hours later, after much handholding and mutual flattery, the contents of the declaration the two men had signed were widely hailed by everyone outside Trump's immediate circle as a victory for Kim. The bankruptcy record began to make sense.
The brief agreement is long on empty promises, however much the president blusters, and seems to contain nothing of benefit to the United States or its allies. In his post-meeting press conference Trump's announcement that "provocative" US-South Korean military exercises would cease caught both the US military and the South Korean government by surprise. There was less surprise in Beijing, where it had been announced earlier in the day at a foreign ministry briefing.
It was, after all, the Chinese formula of double suspension—of North Korea's nuclear tests, which North Korea had already announced, in exchange for the joint military exercises. It was first proposed by China's foreign minister in March 2017, but rejected by Trump himself last November. North Korea's KCNA news agency framed it as a concession by Trump to Kim's demands, a rare occasion on which most observers would agree with North Korea's propaganda ministry.
There is little in the document to show for the concessions, which come on top of the gift of the summit itself, complete with parity of flag display and images of Kim strolling side by side with the US president—all propaganda gold for North Korea. The inclusion in the document of the North Korean formula of "de-nuclearisation of the Korean peninsula"—first launched on 27thApril in the Panmunjom Declaration following Kim's meeting with the South Korean President Moon—is another important US concession. The Singapore declaration has registered neither tangible advance or timetable, promising only to work towards the goal.
There are well documented precedents President Trump might have wished to study—along with the reasons for their failure. The hard-won deal with Iran, which he repeatedly rubbished and has now wrecked, was, in comparison, a monumental piece of work that covered all points necessary to make it real. He might…

Q: how to replace a character within in a multiple double quoted words within a line using sed? I have text file including text format like this.
012345,"[ThinkPadT2/3Gband,Mac]",Lenovo,"iPhone3G,A1241"

How do i replace comma inside words only within double quote by pipe(|) operator using sed. I need output like this :
012345,"[ThinkPadT2/3Gband | Mac]",Lenovo,"iPhone3G|A1241"

A: This is standard procedure to make sed non-greedy and back-reference tip for substring(s) in brackets ()
sed 's/\(\"[^",]\{1,\}\),\([^",]\{1,\}\"\)/\1 | \2/g'

Or for GNU sed
sed -r 's/("[^",]+),([^",]+")/\1 | \2/g'

A: You could try something like this:
$ cat filename
012345,"[ThinkPadT2/3Gband,Mac]",Lenovo,"iPhone3G,A1241"

$ cat filename | sed -E 's:([A-Z,a-z]),([A-Z,a-z]):\1|\2:g'
012345,"[ThinkPadT2/3Gband|Mac]",Lenovo,"iPhone3G|A1241"

A: Sed is not the right tool for this. I think it may require some advanced features to achieve like the above. Here is the perl on-liner which replaces any number of double commas present within double quotes with <space>|<space> .
$ echo '012345,"[ThinkPadT2/3Gband,Mac,Apple]",Lenovo,"iPhone3G,A1241"' | perl -pe 's/,(?!(?:"[^"]*"|[^"])*$)/ | /g'
012345,"[ThinkPadT2/3Gband | Mac | Apple]",Lenovo,"iPhone3G | A1241"

Tai Chi & Chi Kung (Qigong): Team taught by Dr Thomas Cummings & Stuart Holloway. Both teachers will be present at the inaugural class, and they will alternate teaching every Saturday so you can get the benefit of two very experienced teachers by coming weekly. Tai Chi Chuan is an ancient Chinese system of mental and physical development and martial art. It consists of learning 'forms' that are series of graceful movements involving the entire body and practiced in a very slow and mindful manner. The movement, breath, and attention are coordinated to integrate the mind and body. Regular practice results in peace of mind, clarity, fluid movement, increased balance, grace, strength and suppleness. This movement based meditation can cultivate many of the same benefits as meditation (see: http://bit.ly/KenPopeMeditationResearch) Chi Kung (Qigong) is very similar to Tai Chi, except it involves simpler movements coordinated with the breath and attention making it easier to achieve a meditative state and to clear out and activate energy channels known as meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Dr Cummings studied and taught Yang Style and Chen Village Style Tai Chi since 1980 from the Chen Man Ching lineage of Master Liao and David Mishlove. He is a clinical psychologist who was a professor of various classes for many years so his teaching skills have been refined over several decades. Stuart Holloway has been practicing Qigong and Tai Chi since 1993. He is certified to teach Eight Treasures Qigong since 1994; check out www.InnergyCentreLLC.com.


Mining is a harvesting skill available to player characters in Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen. In order to mine ore, you must have a pickaxe. Mining allows you to harvest resources from ore veins at caves, quarries, and passes. As your mining skill increases, you can eventually mine rock-based corpses such as gargoyles and golems.
The rewards from mining are primarily used for crafting recipes for Blacksmiths and Stonemasons, with Alchemists and Scribes also using it.
The core of Mining lies in the ore veins and what you can find in them. They can be common rocks or be rare gems.

IKEA's $46 Million Wrongful Death Settlement
Today's news contains reports of a $46 million wrongful death settlement to be paid by the furniture manufacturer IKEA to the parents of a 2-year-old child who was killed in 2017 when an IKEA dresser his parents purchased in 2008 fell on top of him in his California home. According to USA Today, IKEA previously paid $50 million in settlement of similar lawsuits back in 2016, and recalled over 17 million dressers that year. Nevertheless, millions of IKEA dressers remained in use.CNN Business reports that there have been eight reports of deaths of children related to IKEA chests and dressers, according to IKEA's US website, and that IKEA has received close to 300 reports of incidents that have caused 144 injuries to children since 2016 USA Today reports that, according to the parents' lawyers, the $46 million settlement is the largest settlement for the wrongful death of a child ever to be awarded in the United States.
Basis of the IKEA Wrongful Death Settlement
According to USA Today, the 2-year-old California child was the first child to die after the 2016 furniture recall was announced by IKEA. One of the lawyers for the parents was quoted as saying, by way of explanation, that once a company admits that its product is dangerous and defective, the company should do everything possible to inform consumers and purchasers of the defect and danger. In this case, the lawyer said that because the parents of the California child who was killed had used their IKEA credit card to buy the dresser that toppled over onto the child, the company had the parents' contact information. The settlement amount, according to the lawyer, was due in part to the fact that IKEA did not do more to reach out to purchasers in connection with its product recall.
Wrongful Death Laws
Generally, wrongful death laws are state laws that allow certain family members of a deceased individual to bring a civil lawsuit to recover damages from the party or parties who allegedly caused the deceased's death. Maryland's wrongful death statute, for example, allows two classes of individuals, referred to as "primary beneficiaries" and "secondary beneficiaries" to recover damages for the wrongful death of a loved one. Primary beneficiaries include spouses, parents, and children. Secondary beneficiaries are other persons related to the deceased by blood or marriage. The law provides that if there are no primary beneficiaries, a wrongful death action shall be for the benefit of secondary beneficiaries. Maryland's wrongful death statute allows for recovery of damages based on a variety of claims, including
Loss of society, companionship, comfort, and protection
Loss of marital or parental care, or loss of care by children (filial care)
The statute of limitations for a wrongful death action is three years. The three-year period is generally measured from the date of death of the deceased family member.
For more information about wrongful death laws, contact The Law Office of Robert R. Castro. Our Charles County wrongful death lawyers will help you to understand the process of recovery for wrongful death cases in Maryland.

The Documentation Center Nazi Party Rallying Grounds (German: Dokumentationszentrum Reichsparteitagsgelände) is a museum in Nuremberg. It is in the north wing of the unfinished remains of the Congress Hall of the former Nazi party rallies. Its permanent exhibition "Fascination and Terror" is concerned with the causes, connections, and consequences of Nazi Germany. Topics that have a direct reference to Nuremberg are especially taken into account. Attached to the museum is an education forum.

Architecture
In 1994 the city council of Nuremberg decided to establish the Documentation Center. Austrian architect Günther Domenig designed the museum, winning the 1998 international competition with his proposal to spear through the northern head of the building with a diagonal glass and steel passageway. Inherent in the gesture of this project is a pun  on the name and a refutation of the chief Nazi architect Albert Speer who had directed a masterplan for this site including a Zeppelin Field, a stadium to hold 400,000, a March Field for military exercises, a Congress Hall for 50,000, and a  wide Great Road. This is where Speer had created the "cathedral of light" and where the Nazis drew nearly a million people in rallies between 1933 and 1938. These were captured on film by Leni Riefenstahl in Triumph of the Will. Domenig, the son of a Nazi judge, confronted his own personal history in addition to the history and Nazi architecture of the project's site. On 4 November 2001 the project was unveiled by Johannes Rau, then President of Germany.

Exhibition
The permanent exhibition "Fascination and Terror" (Faszination und Gewalt) studies the causes, coherence, and consequences of National Socialism. It describes the Nazi Party Rallies and explains the fascination they exercised upon participants and visitors. At the same time, the exhibition endeavors to explain what led to the National Socialists' criminal exercise of power and to reveal how the various causal factors were interrelated. A further goal is a frank presentation of the violent consequences that ensued for the population. The events that are inseparably linked with Nuremberg ("city of the party rally" — Stadt der Reichsparteitage) and the National Socialist period are also explained: the activities of Julius Streicher, editor of the anti-Semitic rabble-rousing weekly Der Stürmer (The Storm Trooper), the history of the Nuremberg Rally, the proclamation of the so-called Nuremberg Laws in 1935, the buildings of the Nazi party rally grounds and the trouble with Nazi architecture after 1945, and the criminal Nuremberg Trials against the chief executives of the National Socialist agenda in 1945–1946 and twelve succeeding trials. The exhibition concludes with an examination of the problem that has been with Germany since 1945: how Germans should deal with the legacy in stone left at the Party Rally Grounds by the National Socialists.

The exhibition is structured in chronological order. The individual exhibition rooms vary in size and structure. They range from corridors of just a few square meters in size to large halls. The exhibition area offers a total of 1,300 square meters of floor space.

The exhibition is presented in narrative form. Use is made of classical exhibition methods as well as of modern forms of presentation. Five films newly created for the Documentation Center are essential elements on the route through the exhibition. Easy-to-use electronic display stations on various topics offer a wealth of informative pictorial material. Eyewitness interviews which were especially filmed are aimed at making history much more amenable, particularly for the younger generation. A wearable "Audioguide" leads visitors through the exhibition in English, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, and Polish.

Education forum
The attached education forum is in the glazed cube on the roof of the congress hall. A union of seven Nuremberg educational institutions under the management of the museen der stadt nürnberg makes possible an extensive and target group oriented program. The offer extends from 45 minute exhibition tours to several day seminars aimed at school classes for both youth and adult groups. The content includes such topics as "the power of images", "youth between adaptation and resistance", and "the system of concentration camps."

The partners of the education center are:

 Geschichte Für Alle e.V. – Institut für Regionalgeschichte
 Jugendakademie im Caritas-Pirckheimer-Haus
 Jugendzentrum für kulturelle und politische Bildung der Stadt Nürnberg
 Jugendring/Kreisjugendring Nürnberg-Stadt
 Kunst -und Kulturpädagogisches Zentrum der Museen in Nürnberg
 Menschenrechtsbüro der Stadt Nürnberg
 Nürnberger Menschenrechtszentrum e.V.

Awards
In 2001, the Innovation-prize of the Nuremberg region was awarded to the partners of the Documentation Center in the education forum.

In 2002, the British Guild of Travel Writers awarded the Documentation Center with an award for Best New Overseas Tourism Project.

In 2004, Günther Domenig was honored by the 9th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale in their section "Transformations." The citation remarked on the opposition of the geometry between the project by Domenig versus the existing structure, and the resulting creation of a profound memorial.

Information system
Since May 2006, the exhibition in the Documentation Center has been supplemented by an information system with 23 stele in the grounds, that make possible an individual tour of the former Nazi Party Rallying Grounds.

When Cop and Crooks Share Hoop Dreams, Nightmare Begins
By LARRY McSHANE
Aug. 17, 1997 12 AM PT
On the asphalt of Sunset Park's 56th Street courts, in the summer of '93, Zack, Supreme and Bubba played the city game, basketball.
The ball bounced from one to another. From Detective Zaher "Zack" Zahrey, a neighborhood kid turned city cop. To William "Supreme" Rivera, who, authorities said, captained a renegade gang that robbed drug dealers and killed a guard in a 1992 armored car robbery. To Sidney "Bubba" Quick, whose crack habit imperiled every purse in Brooklyn.
Basketball provided an escape from their different and deadly worlds. But it was only temporary. This would be the last summer they shared the same court.
In March 1994:
* Supreme was murdered in a local disco.
* Zack, a decorated undercover narcotics officer, was tagged as a corrupt cop.
* And Bubba, behind bars for the fifth time since his 15th birthday, would cut a deal to become the key witness against Zack.
That month, barely a year after Zahrey received a detective's gold shield, an intoxicated tipster told the police Internal Affairs Bureau that Zack's ties to Supreme and Bubba transcended the basketball court.
"I was starting to hear word on the street that there were questions being asked about me," Zahrey said later. "But I didn't have anything to worry about, because I didn't do anything."
Internal Affairs Sgt. Robert Boyce turned up zero on Zahrey until five months later, when he visited Bubba Quick in jail. The persistent, violent felon was approaching his 30th birthday and a likely life sentence.
The sergeant kept returning to Quick, interviewing him three times, pressing for dirt on Zahrey. Boyce focused on the October 1993 murder of a Sunset Park drug dealer, J.R. Guadalupe.
In a March 1995 meeting at Sing Sing Correctional Facility, Boyce promised Bubba "a very, very, very sweet deal" if he could implicate the policeman from the playground in Guadalupe's death.
"If you give me Zack," Boyce promised, "I'll drive you home."
Yes, Quick recalled. Zahrey was there when Guadalupe was killed.
There was little physical evidence. There were questions about Quick's credibility. Still, the case against Zahrey moved forward, from Internal Affairs to the Brooklyn district attorney to the U.S. Attorney's office.
It would take more than three years--including six months behind bars--for Zahrey to clear his name. His nightmare ended when a federal jury--after deliberating just five minutes--exonerated him.
"This prosecution was brought just for the sake of bringing it, to make the public think the authorities are doing something about police corruption," charged Zahrey's attorney, Joel Rudin.
"Detective Zahrey was a human sacrifice on the altar of public opinion."
Even on the court, Quick and Zahrey were opposites. At 225 pounds, Bubba had the burly body of a power forward--a dreadlocked, gun-toting banger. He ran with Rivera's gang, the Supreme Crew.
Zack was a lithe 6-foot-2, with a thin mustache and a badge. The 33-year-old son of Palestinian immigrants joined the department on July 8, 1985, earning his detective's shield in just seven years.
His court-honed walk, talk and attitude translated into law enforcement success. Working dangerous assignments in Brooklyn's toughest neighborhoods--Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brownsville--he made 131 undercover drug buys in one 15-month period.
"A leader among his peers," his supervisor, Lt. Robert Napolitano, called him in a June 1993 review. "This undercover officer exemplifies the undercover officer."
Just a month before, Zahrey and Quick--a high school dropout, an on-and-off junkie who played ball between purse-snatchings--met for the first time at the 56th Street courts.
They were introduced by Supreme Rivera, a Brooklyn playground hoops legend and Zahrey's former classmate at Fort Hamilton High School.
Zahrey and Rivera had long been friends. They started a failed construction business together, and played on the 84th Precinct basketball team when Supreme was an auxiliary cop.
Zahrey insists his relationship with Rivera cooled after he joined the Brooklyn North narcotics squad in 1991--coincidentally, around the time the Supreme Crew started getting busy in Brooklyn.
In March 1992, authorities said, the gang pulled off a $186,000 armored-car robbery, killing a 71-year-old guard.
The crew's specialty, however, was ripping off drug dealers for their stash and their cash. Their reign ended March 10, 1994, when Rivera was shot 14 times inside a Brooklyn disco--with a gun lifted from a cop.
Sgt. Robert Boyce, an 11-year NYPD veteran with 70 department citations, was relatively new at Internal Affairs when he met Zahrey that night. Both men were checking into Rivera's murder.
The NYPD, stunned by the revelations of corruption, was determined to root out rogue cops. Internal Affairs was upgraded, given more manpower and money. Boyce was part of the new regime.
On the night of Rivera's murder, Boyce was asking how a cop's gun had killed an alleged crook. Zahrey was checking for information at the behest of the Rivera family.
Boyce recalled Zahrey was "in an agitated state," repeatedly denying any link to Supreme. The sergeant became suspicious. Twelve days later, after the phone tip linking Zahrey and Rivera, his investigation began.
"I don't want him carrying the same shield I got. . . . ," Boyce told Quick. "He shouldn't have my shield if he's doing this."
And with visions of immunity or an early parole, Quick cooperated.
But there was a problem: Uncorroborated accomplice testimony is insufficient for a New York state conviction. Boyce still had no case.
Prosecutors simply shifted the case to federal court, where Zahrey was indicted by a federal grand jury and arrested last Oct. 16.
One month later, Quick's mother alleged that Zahrey had threatened her life in a phone call. Zahrey insisted they had never spoken, but a federal judge revoked his $500,000 bail.
For the next six months, Zahrey was locked up at Manhattan's Metropolitan Correctional Center, allowed just three hours of family visits and a single personal phone call per week, separated from his wife of eight years and their three children.
When he arrived in court May 8, Zahrey was a defendant, not a detective. The handcuffs that once dangled from his belt now bound his wrists.
But defense attorney Rudin turned the tables. Over three days, he grilled the prosecution's star witness, Quick.
Quick testified that he and Zahrey had robbed a dope dealer in a Brooklyn park. In a session with Boyce, however, Quick had said the robbery occurred in winter 1992--while he was still in jail.
Rudin pressed on. The witness had claimed the detective helped rob drug dealers, sold illegal handguns, collected $200,000 as his cut.
But no eyewitnesses put Zahrey at the crime scenes. No incriminating physical evidence--fingerprints, phone records, cash--was recovered. And, after Quick made his allegations, police had placed Zahrey under surveillance; they found him working a second job at his family's grocery store.
Quick testified that Zahrey watched as Rivera killed Guadalupe on Oct. 14, 1993. But in his taped interview with Boyce, Quick had insisted he had no information about the murder.
"I didn't have nothing to do with this. . . . 'member, I was . . . cracked out when this happened," Quick said.
There was more. Quick said he and Rivera met with Zahrey at 6:30 p.m., before the slaying; the police log showed the detective worked until 7 p.m.
An eyewitness to the murder testified that the killer was a dark-skinned black man; Rivera was Puerto Rican and Zahrey white. The only black man there, according to Quick's testimony, was Sidney "Bubba" Quick.
Rudin argued that the government had let the real killer, Quick, go free in its zeal for Zahrey.
The detective, Rudin said, was guilty only of a love of basketball, a love shared with his neighborhood friends.
"Zack kept returning to the playground to experience the joy of a hard sweat, of that perfect jump shot, of that beautiful pass," Rudin told the jury. "They were trying to hold onto their youth."
It took the jury just one vote on June 27 to exonerate Zahrey.
The prosecution's "case was nonexistent. He wasn't not guilty; he was innocent," said juror Karen Rubin.
Why did the authorities target Zahrey with so little evidence, with a likely acquittal? Rudin suggests overambitious cops and prosecutors; Zahrey wonders about personal animus. The Internal Affairs cops, Zahrey says, were "a combination of the Gestapo and the Keystone Kops."
Either way, Boyce's career was not hindered. The same month that Zahrey's bail was revoked, now-Lt. Robert Boyce took over as head of the 88th Precinct detective squad.
Zahrey, meanwhile, is in limbo. He wants to stay on the job, but his police career remains in jeopardy. Despite his acquittal, he faces a separate departmental hearing on the same charges.
A return to his first love, undercover work, is impossible. He fears retaliation.
"I love the job. I really, really loved the guys, the rapport," he says. "But I wouldn't want to go out on the street. I've already been through the fight of my life."

Samu's Birthday is near so she had started planning a party for all of her friends. Being a kind and caring girl she calls each of her friend and asks for his/her favorite dish.Now each friend has own liking/disliking for different dishes.
A friend can only like or dislike a dish it means if we are having three dishes 1,2,3 then if a friend says that he likes Dishes 1 and 2 then its obvious that he dislikes Dish 3. So for each friend we are given a string of 1 and 0 where 1 shows that this person like this particular dish.
Now we are given that Samu has N friends and total of K dishes available to make her menu. Now Samu doesn't want to make any of her friend unhappy , After all its her birthday.
So she got confused on what dishes to count in menu and calls you for help. You need to find count of minimum dishes to order so that all of her N friends are happy which means everyone has at least one dish to eat in party.
Note : Its for sure that everyone has at least liking for one dish.
First line of test case has N denoting the total number of friends and K denoting the total number of dishes available.Both separated by a space (Dishes are numbered from 1 to K) .

Every year in the world, 120,000 square kilometres of land – the equivalent to half the size of the United Kingdom – are rendered infertile by desertification. The phenomenon of land degradation occurs in the drylands of the planet, which cover 40% of the Earth's surface and are home to 2 billion people.
Desertification is a continuing, silent disaster, with drastic effects on nature as well as on the women and men who live in it: the destruction of entire ecosystems, acceleration of climate change, and obstacles to development and an increase in poverty in countries where the environment is under threat. According to the Secretariat of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, 135 million people are likely to migrate worldwide by 2030 because of the deterioration of their land.
Through the Programme on Man and the Biosphere, the International Geoscience and Geoparks Programme and the International Hydrological Programme, UNESCO is working to promote integrated agriculture and food systems, as well as sustainable land use patterns, in more than 800 locations around the world. A great many products from these UNESCO sites, from chocolate to cucumber and argan oil to spirulina, are then distributed across the globe.
Because the way we consume has a direct impact on the condition of the land, one of the keys to responding to the threat of desertification is in our own hands. The slogan of World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought in 2018, "Land has true value. Invest in it", highlights the responsibility of consumers who, by changing their habits, have the power to refocus management and land use practices by seeing land not as a resource to be exhausted, but a resource to be preserved.

Three Foundational Keys To Fraud Deterrence
Bramwell's Lunch Beat: Accounting Fraud, Dewey Trial, Jindal's Tax Plan
SEC charges ex-OCZ Technology executives with accounting fraud
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Tuesday charged two former top executives at OCZ Technology Group Inc. for accounting failures at the now-bankrupt seller of computer memory storage and power supply devices. The SEC alleges that former OCZ CEO Ryan Petersen engaged in a scheme to materially inflate the company's revenues and gross margins from 2010 to 2012. The agency separately charged OCZ's former CFO Arthur Knapp for certain accounting, disclosure, and internal accounting controls failures. Knapp agreed to settle the SEC's charges by paying a penalty of $130,000 without admitting or denying the allegations against him. The SEC's litigation continues against Petersen. Antonia Chion, associate director of the SEC Division of Enforcement, said when high-level executives participate in accounting fraud and failures, "they will be held accountable."
Jury deadlocked in trial of former Dewey & LeBoeuf executives
After 14 days of deliberation, a New York jury said it can't agree on whether three former Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP executives committed financial fraud in the years leading up to the law firm's 2012 collapse, wrote Sara Randazzo of the Wall Street Journal. "We the jury can't come to a unanimous decision on the majority of the counts on the verdict sheet," jurors wrote in a note to Judge Robert Stolz in Manhattan state criminal court late Tuesday afternoon. Each of the three defendants faces around 50 counts, including grand larceny, conspiracy, securities fraud, and dozens of instances of falsifying business records. They deny wrongdoing. The deadlock is a setback for prosecutors, who have conducted a yearslong investigation into Dewey's accounting practices. Judge Stolz told the jurors to keep deliberating Tuesday and that he would have fuller instructions on Wednesday morning.
Bobby Jindal wants all to pay some income tax
Seeking to breathe life into his presidential campaign, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is taking a sharply different approach to tax policy than his Republican rivals, wrote Patrick O'Connor of the Wall Street Journal. The presidential contender plans to unveil a tax plan on Wednesday in Iowa whose goal is to make all citizens pay at least some federal income tax. Jindal's plan seeks to compress the current seven tax brackets to three, with those in the lowest rung paying a 2 percent rate. It would also eliminate most deductions, including those that allow millions of Americans to pay nothing in federal income taxes. Jindal's proposal would eliminate the standard deduction and the $4,000 personal exemption, and it would include a nonrefundable tax credit that could replace some of these deductions for households with children under the age of 18, or people older than 65 who make less than $5,000. He didn't offer specifics on how this might work.
Ben Carson: 6-month tax hiatus for overseas profit
GOP presidential hopeful Dr. Ben Carson said on Wednesday he would declare a six-month tax hiatus for corporations to bring the more than $2 trillion in profits held overseas back to the United States, wrote Matthew J. Belvedere of CNBC. "However, I would stipulate that 10 percent of it had to be used in enterprise zones [impoverished areas] that we'd set up in some of our major cities or to create jobs for people who are unemployed and on welfare," the retired neurosurgeon told CNBC's Squawk Box. But once the six-month tax holiday ends, US corporate taxes need to be re-established at a level lower than the average around the world, he said. "I want us to become a tax haven for people because it also becomes an opportunity haven for people," Carson added. On personal income taxes, Carson said he's calling for a 10 percent flat tax. "I use 10 percent because it's easy to do the numbers," he said.

Picasso's 'Blue Period' and the portray
When Picasso started operating on this grand masterpiece, he was going by what art critics now get in touch with the 'Blue period'. The phrase refers to the period when Picasso only utilized the colour blue in a variety of shades as very well as greys and blacks to paint everything and everything. His agent struggled to provide his paintings but he refused to contact any other color between 1901 and 1904. The Outdated Guitarist was painted in 1903, just following the suicide demise of Picasso's near mate Casagemas. Carles Antoni Cosme Damià Casagemas I Coll was a Spanish painter and poet who fully commited suicide in a Paris cafe, throughout a farewell supper social gathering he held for himself. This incident remained with Picasso for everyday living and he committed many paintings to his mate. At the very same time, the artist was practically penniless and knew how it was like to be impoverished. He felt excluded from culture and was sympathetic to the plight of all those forged out of culture these as the inadequate, prostitutes, and the sick. As a result, Picasso chose to use the color blue to connect the pain and desolation that he was feeling at the time. In the course of the 'Blue Period', he continued to element outcasts as the subject issue of his paintings. He also included subjects that were being viewed as exiles and recluses, this kind of as drunkards, the homeless, and of study course, people today that were having difficulties to retain up with the pressures of working day-to-day everyday living.

The Aged Guitarist was designed for the duration of the peak of Picasso's 'Blue Period' in Madrid Spain. Also acknowledged as 'The Blind Guitarist', it displays a skinny previous man whose bones are visible. He can be viewed latching on to his guitar in spite of his weak state. His pores and skin is pale blue and his apparel are torn. His sad condition is additional highlighted by his blindness, the isolation, and the ambiance which surrounds him. The man's guitar is painted employing brown – a colour that represents hope in Picasso's head. He wanted to showcase how the guitar is the only hope for survival for the guy in the portray and how dependent he is on it.
While Picasso is clearly showing the planet how reduced-course societies endure just about every day, some feel that he made use of the aged gentleman as the subject of his artwork to stand for the isolation that most artists observe. Culture normally isolates artists even nevertheless it is art and culture that brings jointly people today. This represents Picasso's criticism of modern society as properly as the reality of human existence.
Mysterious visuals beneath The Outdated Guitarist
Through his 'Blue Period', Picasso lined sketches on canvases possibly because of to poverty and not sufficient canvases obtainable on hand. The Previous Guitarist has intrigued researchers for a prolonged time because of the sketches concealed at the rear of the main determine in the portray. Recent x-rays by curators uncovered three figures driving the guitarist's human body. The three figures are a young mother with a modest baby kneeling by her aspect and an animal on the correct side of the canvas an old woman with her head bent forward. The youthful mom in the portray has very long dark hair and a thoughtful expression. No a person to day is aware of why he chose to not comprehensive individuals sketches and as an alternative painted The Previous Guitarist. Having said that, this is not an unusual follow. Artists are likely to modify their minds about their topics all the time and Picasso was known to paint subjects that emotionally moved him. It is speculated that he may possibly have drawn on George Frederic Watts's 1886 portray of Hope, which also depicts a hunched, helpless musician with a distorted angular variety utilizing a blue tone.

Reputation and effect on Present day Tradition
Picasso's 'Blue Period' commenced with the painting Casagemas in His Coffin, which was a painting showing his close friend lying in a coffin just after he fully commited suicide. Following that, he made several paintings that showed despair and sorrow, all of which are scattered all around the world. The Outdated Guitarist, having said that, continues to be to be the most well-liked piece of artwork. The Art Institute of Chicago obtained the piece in 1926 in what turned out to be a pivotal minute for the artist. The Aged Guitarist turned Picasso's very first portray to be obtained by an American museum and it was also the to start with Picasso painting that any museum in the earth acquired for its everlasting assortment.
In excess of time, the portray has affected a number of artists of all backgrounds. Paul McCartney drew from the portray when producing a chord progression. It is this development and McCartney's accompanying melody that turned his contributions to the 2015 Kanye West track "All Day"
Art critics could generate limitless textbooks on why The Outdated Guitarist is so legendary even now. However, even those people who hold no understanding of art truly value this piece owing to the use of melancholy colours and the bony composition of a guy who is latching on to his guitar.

Game of Thrones may be rapidly reaching its conclusion, which could leave a void in your life. Luckily that void (at least the Game of Thrones one) may not exist for long, at least if HBO has their way.
We say that because the premium channel has made deals with four different writers to tap into multiple spin-off ideas of the mega hit show. As of yet, there is no timeline for these projects. "We'll take as much or as little time as the writers need and, as with all our development, we will evaluate what we have when the scripts are in," said a spokesperson, according to Variety.
The veteran screenwriters heading these projects have very impressive resumes, and include Max Borenstein (who worked on Godzilla and Kong: Skull Island), Jane Goldman (who worked on X-Men: Days of Futures Past and Kingsman: The Secret Service), Brian Helgeland (who worked on L.A. Confidential and Legend) and Carly Wray (who worked on Mad Men and The Leftovers).
Furthermore, both Wray and Goldman will be working with GoT creator George R.R. Martin, and showrunners Dan Weiss and David Benioff are attached to all four projects (though they won't be writing them).
Season 7 of the OG program, which will only contain seven episodes, is set to debut on July 16. Season 8, which is already in development, and will be the show's final season, will have only six-to-eight episodes.

Time is Money, Efficiency is Life

Jarno Trulli loses Caterham F1 seat to Vitaly Petrov; Gascoyne moves up and over
G.M. Suvorin won the first Russian Grand Prix in a Benz 1913.
On Friday, it was revealed that Vitaly Petrov will replace Jarno Trulli at Caterham F1 Team (formerly Lotus) with immediate effect.
Petrov who spent the previous two seasons with Renault (now Lotus) will partner Heikki Kovalainen as the Hingham-based squad aim for their first points in Formula 1 since emerging in 2010.
The Russian registered thirteen points finishes since making his debut in 2010 and while Petrov showed occasional bouts of speed, he was often criticised for his inconsistent performances.
Petrov's first run in the CT01 will come at testing in Barcelona on Tuesday, after having a seat fitting on Friday.
The change, so late in the pre-season, does seem somewhat harsh on Trulli, but with rumours of the switch hanging around the team for some time, it did not come as much of a surprise.
Although hampered on occasion by faltering hydraulic systems (especially in 2010), Trulli has repeatedly been second best to Kovalainen in their time together.
There were occasions last year when Trulli gave the impression of a driver who was simply making up the numbers, signalled primarily by a lack of interest when appearing on screen. It means the opening Grand Prix at Melbourne will be the first without an Italian competitor since the 1996 German Grand Prix*.
In the Caterham release, Trulli said:
"I want to take this chance to thank Tony, Kamarudin, SM Nasarudin, Riad, Mike and everyone in the team for the two seasons we had together. From zero we built up and established a solid F1 team.
"I'm really proud to have been part of it. I understand the decision the team has made and I want to wish to the whole team the very best of luck for the season ahead."
Caterham F1 Team Principal Tony Fernandes also got several words in:
"I also want to take this opportunity to thank Jarno for the absolutely pivotal role he played in the formation and progression of our team since he joined us in December 2009. Jarno knew that when he joined us it would be a very different environment to where he had been before, and when we gave him the package he wanted he absolutely shone."
"With that in mind it was not an easy decision to bring Vitaly in to replace Jarno, but it was one we made to ensure that we give fresh impetus across the whole team and with a realistic eye on the global economic market."
And there it is. If one thing was clear on Friday – judging by fan reactions at least – there was disappointment with the realisation that Petrov is most likely bringing a hell of a lot of money to Caterham than talent. A bit harsh, considering Petrov is a decent little racer, just not fantastic.
Not only that, the Russian market may soon become a crucial one for Caterham Cars as well. Indeed, Russia remains an important market for Formula 1 in general, especially with the nation's first Formula 1 Grand Prix** due to run in 2014.
While many parts of the country are still relatively (see also very) poor, it is a growing economic power in the region, although it is probably best not to ask where the money comes from. There are a growing number of young Russian drivers populating various feeder categories; however few appear to be genuine Formula 1 prospects, bar Red Bull junior driver Daniil Kvyat.
Other notables include Mikhail Aleshin, who won the 2010 Formula Renault 3.5 Series, but fell by the wayside early in his 2011 GP2 campaign due to lack of budget. Marussia Motors development driver Ivan Lukashevich will be spending his third year in GP3 this season, although he has yet to score a point.
In another move that should shock absolutely no one, Mike Gascoyne has been announced as the Chief Technical Officer at Caterham Group.
When Tony Fernandes bought Caterham Cars last April, announcing a pair territorial headquarters in the months following (China and India), alongside Caterham-related projects that to run in Asia, it was a matter of time before the entrepreneur began to spread the love.
Gascoyne new position will see him taking responsibility for Caterham Group's motorsport initiatives, reporting to CEO Riad Asmat.
His new role with the Caterham Group will have Gascoyne overseeing Caterham Cars, Composites and the recently launched Technology and Innovation departments alongside Mark Edwards, Phil Hall and Ansar Ali respectively.
The Englishman seemed reasonably happy with his new position in the company:
"This is a very proud moment for me. My new role will now give me the chance to help drive value across the whole group through the creation and delivery of new projects in all the sectors we are already working in, and opening up new opportunities for each of the Group's companies to embrace.
"I am looking forward to working even more closely with Mark Edwards at Caterham Technology & Innovation, Phil Hall at Caterham Composites and Ansar Ali at Caterham Cars. This is a big challenge but one I am extremely excited about and I want to thank our shareholders for this opportunity."
Mark Smith replaces Gascoyne as Technical Director with the Caterham F1 Team with immediate effect, leading the squad's technical division day-to-day and will also be appearing at more races throughout the year.

Technically, Italy's Giovanni Lavaggi entered the German Grand Prix for Minardi having temporarily weighed Giancarlo Fisichella down with a pile of cash; however the journeyman racer – famously known as "Johnny Carwash" – failed to qualify inside the 107% rule.
Setting a time some 1.9 seconds slower than teammate Pedro Lamy, Lavaggi fell 0.2 seconds outside of the qualifying mark and was not allowed to start.

This is not to be confused with the two previous Russian Grand Prix events, which took place in St Petersburg in 1913 and '14. Russian-native G.M. Suvorin won the inaugural race in a Benz 29, while Germany's Willy Scholl claimed the follow up eleven months later behind the wheel of a Benz 55.
Initially the First World War brought a halt to motorsport in the country, although the beginnings of the Russian Revolution in the early months of 1917 and the ensuing political mess that was the USSR would suffocate any hopes for a race for over sixty-five years.
Attempts to reinstate a Grand Prix in the USSR in the early 1980s led to nothing; however there was enough interest behind the eastern block to see the Hungarian Grand Prix come to fruition in the summer of 1986***.
